Finally I have my domain and a blog setup. Making web presence was something that I wanted to have right from the day I saw the first webpage on the internet. And the dream comes true today 🙂
There's lot to be done on the main page vinayraikar.com. Have been experimenting with jQuery a lot… so will probably will have a cool interface. Meanwhile I moved my design blog (which seems to have got many people interested in it) from blogspot to http://art.vinayraikar.com . There is lot to update there, but I lately have been procrastinating a lot. Have a couple of posts in draft but havent found time to complete them !!
Well… thats it for now… before signing off couple of lines from one of my favorite songs to express what's running in My Mind…
Here I am – this is me
There's no where else on earth I'd rather be
Here I am – it's just me and you
And tonight we make our dreams come true

You could forgive Aston Villa fans for being caught in two minds about their team at the moment. Four straight wins have propelled Villa into the top six but, equally, their eye-catching form is increasing the clamour for Martin O'Neill to succeed Steve McClaren as England manager. That's the last thing Villa's fans, players and chairman would want.
O'Neill has certainly brought the good times and the crowds back to Villa Park, transforming a rather dour mid-table outfit into a pacy, powerful side with genuine pretensions of European football. Whether the Irishman sticks around long enough to realise that ambition remains to be seen. Fortunately for Villa fans, O'Neill's public utterings have been unequivocal - he is committed to his current job.
We spoke to Bill Howell of the Birmingham Evening Mail ahead of Arsenal's visit to Villa Park on Saturday. Read on for an insight into Villa's excellent run, the incredible popularity of O'Neill, the weaknesses which need addressing and Villa's long wait for a home win over Arsenal.
"Villa are in fine form, they've won four games in a row for the first time since April 2000. Spirits are extremely high, there's momentum, there are goals in the team, I think it's 20 goals in the last nine games since Manchester City kept them quiet. Villa have failed to score just twice this season. Agbonlahor has been absolutely terrific this season so spirits are high going into the Arsenal game but Villa are under no illusions that this is by far their biggest test. They beat Chelsea at Villa Park and deservedly so but Liverpool on the opening day was a big lesson for them and Manchester United were in a different class, so they are expecting something similar on Saturday. It has been a long time since they beat Arsenal, December 1998, but Martin O'Neill doesn't read anything into those statistics because this is a new game, a new team with new players. But you can't fail as a Villa fan to realise that it has been so long since they gave Arsenal a game."
"The fans love O'Neill to death, the players really respect him. He's got that winning mentality about him and there's no secret as to why he's a good manager, he's a very good communicator not only with the players but with the fans and the press. He works extremely hard, he doesn't miss a reserve game at home or away, he has a terrific scouting system in place and everything is down to the minutest detail. They watch videos at length, they sit the players down and go through all the statistics. It didn't help him that the chairman said he wouldn't stand in his way if England come calling, that took a lot of focus away from his work at Villa and presented O'Neill on the national stage. He has spoken at length about his total commitment to Villa but I am of the firm belief that the FA have to be looking at O'Neill if they want the best man for the job. I think a lot of people at Villa fear that is going to be the case, that regardless of O'Neill's commitment, the FA must be looking in his direction."
"We haven't seen Curtis Davies, he's played one Carling Cup game and a few very brief sub appearances. He called himself a 'pub player' after his debut in the League Cup against Leicester and it will be next season when he plays because there are big doubts over the future of Olof Mellberg with clubs in Italy looking at him on a free transfer. That would be a huge loss for the club. Marlon Harewood has been a big disappointment, he's not had too many chances and scored his first league goal last night, but he has had time to make an impact and has been poor. He must do better and hopefully with that goal behind him now he will have the confidence to do that. Nigel Reo-Coker started off like a train and then his performances levelled out, but he is really strong. Arsenal won't have to face him because he's suspended. O'Neill didn't spend a lot of money in terms of the teams Villa are competing against."
"It was slightly disappointing summer because Villa were linked to a lot of names but still didn't manage to buy a right back, which is a problem to them. Mellberg has played there and it has been a problem at times. They are short of something down the left, O'Neill only has one left back at the club and he's not an attacking one. They need more options. Villa have been linked to a number of big-name strikers - Crouch, Defoe, Robbie Keane - for a number of months now, and I think that's an area he would love to improve.
"Their squad isn't the biggest, which means that if suspensions and injuries pile up near to the extent they did last year then Villa will struggle. They went on a run last year from November to April which was woeful, wins were few and far between, they had to borrow a keeper at one point, and if those things happen again they will struggle. They are not good enough to make a couple of changes and still see off teams. Middlesbrough were the better side in the first half last Saturday, Blackburn were the better side for 40 minutes on Wednesday night, but Villa are having a little bit of luck, a few decisions are going their way. O'Neill has said that they know they are capable of being beaten and when that happens confidence will take a battering."
"O'Neill won't change his tactics. Villa have a settled side, they have started the same XI for four straight games now. He has to bring in Craig Gardner on the right of midfield in place of the suspended Reo-Coker, with Petrov and Barry in the middle and Ashley Young on the left. Against teams like Derby, Villa tend to have a three-man front line with Young, Carew and Agbonlahor, but against Arsenal Young will play as a more genuine left-sided midfielder, tracking back more. The defence have played really well in this run, Laursen especially at centre half. The midfield has been pretty good, Barry has been outstanding and is back in the form which got him into the England side. Petrov, after an age, 18 months of being average, is waking up to what the Premier League is all about. Gardner will add a bit of beef on the right side. Young, when he gets the ball, will run at Arsenal, he's not scared to take players on and that's lovely to see. Carew is finding his confidence, he's a big powerful lad and will cause problems, and Agbonlahor has been the find of the season by a country mile."
"Villa have an awful lot of confidence but what they don't have is the quality that Arsenal have, nobody has apart from Manchester United. Arsenal are a phenomenal, free-flowing, beautiful side to watch, but they were like that about four years ago when Villa were well beaten at Highbury. Everyone was cooing about this wonderful Arsenal side who after two months were playing some magnificent football, but come the New Year things started to turn. Whether or not they can keep it up this time remains to be seen."

Experts laud EV development
By William C. Pao, The China Post Thursday, July 16, 2009, 10:02 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- With solid electricity infrastructure and a robust information and communications industry (ICT), Taiwan is an ideal venue for developing electric vehicles (EVs) and their key components, said participants of the 2009 Taiwan Automotive International Forum and Exhibition (TAIFE) on its opening day.
The two-day forum, organized by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) and executed by the Taiwan Automotive Research Consortium (TARC), kicked off yesterday, this year placing a special focus on electric vehicles, given an increasing awareness of environmental issues in Taiwan as well as in countries throughout the world. EV experts representing local and overseas companies, universities and research institutions all gathered at National Taiwan University Hospital's International Convention Center, where the event is held, to share their insights into green vehicles of the future.
Taiwan's Strengths
In his opening address, Minister of Economic Affairs Yiin Chii-ming mentioned the government has always placed a strong focus on the island's automotive industry, which has over the years become an important part of the global supply chain.
In fact, he said a desire to upgrade the nation's automotive industry was what prompted the government to help form TARC, a consortium made up of the Mechanical and System Research Laboratories of Industrial Technology Research Institute (MSL/ITRI), the Automotive Research & Testing Center, the Metal Industries Research & Development Centre, Chung-Shun Institute of Science & Technology, and Hua-Chuang Automobile Information Technical Center Co., Ltd.
He went on to mention a move towards manufacturing green vehicles, such as EVs, that use less energy and emit less greenhouse gases. He emphasized Taiwan has a lot to contribute in this area.
"Taiwan has a warm climate, high population density, and comprehensive electric power infrastructure," he said. "It also boasts a formidable electronics industry, providing an excellent base for the development of EVs."
Huang Lung-chou, chairman of TARC, echoed Yiin's remarks, saying a focus on carbon emissions reduction and clean energy has driven the nation to explore new automotive technologies.
Having already developed capabilities in making e-scooters and e-bikes, Taiwan can become "the best partner" of global EV makers to develop quality, powerful green vehicles, he noted.
Development Strategies
The forum this year concentrates on two topics: "EV Value Chain Strategy Proposition" and "EV Key-Module Industrial-Cluster Development Strategy."
James Wang, deputy general director of the Mechanical and Systems Research Laboratories of ITRI, spoke in the day's first session and discussed Taiwan's EV developmental strategy.
He said EV development has already been listed as part of the government's overall energy policy guidelines, which intend to reduce the island's carbon emissions to the level of 2008 between 2016 and 2020, and the level of 2000 by the year 2025.
In fact, Wang said Taiwan has already developed a complete EV supply chain, with manufacturers focusing on all aspects of the industry.
For OEM/vehicle manufacturing, there are SYM and PGO; for propulsion systems, there are Fukuta Motor and Taiwan DC Motor; and for lithium batteries, there are E-One and HiTech, he said.
As now EVs are at a relatively early stage, more work needs to be done to develop and popularize them, Wang said. He divided Taiwan's EV development into three stages: technological development, testing of standards, and infrastructure building and promotion.
Another key to successful EV development is collaboration between government, research institutes, the industry and the academia, he said. International collaboration is also needed to build on the experience of overseas nations, he added.

The simplicity of such design breaks barriers to entry into the automobile market. The ease of repairing such design ends the resale market for established automobile oligopolies. It is no surprise that the established automobile companies take extreme efforts to introduce Rube Goldberg electric automobile designs. The first well financed company to introduce such design has a cost advantage, and quite possibly a customer satisfaction advantage.
Rare earth DC motors are a mature industry. China has a monopoly on the rare earth metal and magnet manufacture. There is, however, no scarcity of rare earth ore to be mined in North America. Large deposits are under development by Great Western Mining Corporation of Canada.

Poor Chloe Sevigny--she won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Big Love, but her big moment was sorta upstaged by someone stepping all over the hem of her Valentino dress. Maybe that's why Rose McGowan didn't take any chances and wore a shortened version of it to the recent premiere of When In Rome?
Here's Chloe at the 2010 Golden Globe Awards, wearing a strapless Valentino gown with dramatic ruffles and the troublesome long train. She completed the look with a sleek bun, sparkling earrings, and berry-stained lips.

Just a few days later, Rose McGowan showed up to a movie premiere in a short cocktail version of the same super-femme dress. She accessorized with a pair of nude patent Mary Janes (the perfect leg lengthener!) and a bright pink pout.
Time to decide the winner of this Fashion Faceoff! Does the dress lose some of its drama in the shortened version, or is it much more wearable that way? Who did a better job accessorizing? Whose overall look are you really feeling? Cast your vote now, and then discuss!

Saratoga: Travers ends in Alpha-Golden Ticket dead heat
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - A race that lacked significance in terms of year-end divisional honors became historic Saturday afternoon at Saratoga when favored Alpha and longshot Golden Ticket dead-heated for win in the $1 million Travers Stakes at Saratoga.
It was nearly a triple dead heat, as Fast Falcon, last of 11 through the first six furlongs, came with a flying finish to finish third, beaten only a neck.
Atigun, who like Golden Ticket is trained by Ken McPeek, finished fourth and was followed in the order of finish by Nonios, Neck 'n Neck, Stealcase, Speightscity, Liaison, Five Sixteen, and Street Life. Street Life, pulled up after the wire by Jose Lezcano, was vanned off and later found to have a soft tissue injury in his left front pastern, according to trainer Chad Brown. It's a non-life-threatening injury.
[Complete coverage of racing at Saratoga: News, PPs, and video]
In the 143 runnings of the Travers, the only other recorded dead-heat occurred in 1874 between Attila and Acrobat. In that instance, a run-off was held that was won by Attila.
There would be no such resolution Saturday.
Instead, there were two camps that had mixed emotions when the infield board flashed dead heat, much to the delight of the crowd of 46,528, which burst into applause.
While Alpha was sent off the 2-1 favorite, and expected to win, he was a length behind inside the sixteenth pole. Under a persevering Ramon Dominguez, Alpha kept coming and though his head was coming up at the wire, it landed on the line at the same time as Golden Ticket, whose head was bobbing down under jockey David Cohen.
"I thought we were second-best at the sixteenth pole," said Kiaran McLaughlin, trainer of Alpha. "I didn't think we were going to get there, and then the last lunge or two I thought maybe we got there. The photo indicated a tie, and we'll take it."
Said McPeek, "First I thought we won, then I thought we lost and I looked at it again - nobody could tell. I was happy for Kiaran too. We've known each other since we were kids."
It was a huge win for Golden Ticket considering he wasn't even being pointed to this race. Unraced since losing an allowance race at Churchill Downs on May 5 - Kentucky Derby Day - Golden Ticket ran in the Travers only when two other races he had entered in at Saratoga didn't fill.
Meanwhile, Alpha was looking to add the Travers to his earlier victories in the Grade 2 Jim Dandy, Grade 3 Withers and Count Fleet.
Alpha won the Jim Dandy on the lead. In the Travers, he was third and three wide as Speightscity set the pace while being chased by Stealcase. Speightscity went fractions of 23.51 seconds for the quarter, 48.06 for the half-mile and 1:12.62 for six furlongs.
Golden Ticket, meanwhile, was kept on the rail by Cohen and in fourth position, inside of Alpha.
Turning for home Cohen shot Golden Ticket inside of Speightscity, and he came to the eighth pole with a one-length lead that grew a bit larger approaching the sixteenth pole.
"At the eighth pole I thought, 'Wow he's going to draw off, he's gone,' " said McPeek, who said that his instructions were to "never leave the rail, don't leave it, stay there. If you get stopped, it's my fault. He rode a beautiful race."
Dominguez said he kept his horse behind Stealcase while awaiting challenges from Neck'n Neck and Nonios that never came.
"I kept my options open and kept him on the outside," Dominguez said. "David rode a great race and got through on the rail and opened up two on me. I really felt that made a difference for him to also become a winner. Either way I'm very proud of my horse. At the sixteenth pole it looked like it was probably lost because the other horse had some separation. He kept coming to the end. I'm very, very happy."
Cohen said he had "no clue" who won the race when the two horses hit the finish line.
"It was obviously very tight, when they announced it was a dead heat we accepted it as a great victory for both of us," Cohen said.
At 33-1, Golden Ticket, a son of Speightstown owned by Carter Stewart and Ken Schlenker, who race as Magic City Thoroughbred Partners, was the third longest shot on the board. He returned $26.80 to win. Alpha, a son of Bernardini owned by Godolphin Racing, returned $4.10.
Final time for the 1 1/4 miles was 2:02.74.
Junior Alvarado, the rider of Fast Falcon, said the dead heat between Alpha and Golden Ticket might have been for second if he hadn't gotten stopped behind Street Life at the three-eighths pole.
"He stopped in front of me when I thought he was going to try and kick off, so I had to check a little bit and move outside and start to pick it up again," Alvarado said. "I'm pretty sure that cost me the race."
For trainer Nick Zito and owner Richard Pell, this was the second hard-luck result in the Travers in three years. In 2010, they sent out Fly Down to a nose loss to Afleet Express.
"I would have taken a dead heat," Pell said.
Happy that David Cohen won the Travers on Golden Ticket. I remember I saw Cohen out in Southern California when he got started did okay but actually since this win is one of his signatures in his career actually this isn't his biggest. His biggest came in 2006 when he won the Dubai Golden Shaeen with Proud Tower Too. After that, his career declined for a bit here. Went to Delaware and started dominating there. Then went to NY and has started to become a top 10 rider there. I think to me now David Cohen is a better rider now than when he was when he got started out here IMO. Nice to see him win that Travers with Golden Ticket.
Amazing! The Pacific Classic was won three seconds faster than the Travers! I think it is fair to say that I think Dullahan is a better horse on polytrack than on dirt.
Funny thing; before the Travers everyone, and I mean everyone, had an opinion on the race.Not a single person even mentioned Golden Ticket. Now it seems as though several, to say the least, had him keyed in everything. Boy people sure can keep a secret around here. Come to think of it don't recall anyone "screamin'" about Beamin" either.
Ah. The Beyer Syndrome. I simply tossed Golden Ticket without much more than a quick glance based on his multiple MSW races. He ran 2nd to Prospective, who I liked in the Derby with IHA & Alpha. I totally disliked Neck and neck and Liason and really was only left with Alpha, Nonios and Steal. Of the remaining 4-5 horses left Golden Ticket looked the best , coming of a freshener, where most 3yo's mature and improve. I just didnt think that the Travers was a place to "improve", so i used the other three with the weaker horses underneith. Congrats to the reader here who was all over Golden Ticket. nice pick. Very Nice Pick
It was fun to see the dead heat, but I thought this was a disappointing race. Going in, there were 4 or 5 horses who could have run well and moved forward as leaders of the division. Coming out, only one horse ran well, and that was lightly raced Golden Ticket, who benefited from a great ride/trip, but did hold on gamely in the stretch. Who knows what he'll be able to do next, though -- maybe this was just a one-time performance. Co-winner Alpha didn't impress me, as he should have passed his rival and gone on to win with authority, given his foundation and accomplishments. He either wasn't finishing with much power or hung. Longshot Fast Falcon ran on, but wasn't going to win, and Atigun sort of clunked up there (maybe he would run better on turf). No one else fired. Add this to the anomalous King's Bishop results, and that leaves Dullahan as the only bright spot (but a very bright one) in the division over the weekend.
I wish drf & equibase et al would recognize this years edition of the Travers as a Gr 3 or overnight stakes race instead of giving credit as a Gr 1.
Willy beamin would have won this race if entered. What a horse !
Made $400 for day,but had an $8300 pick 4 if FF gets up. Sick
I sure do miss the jockeys were Gary Stevens, Jerry Bailey, and Pat Day. I don't think they've really been replaced by comparative talent.
Running 5 wide an still got up at the wire, Ramon does it again.

Kids 6 to 8 years: Playing
Play is one of the best ways for children to learn language and literacy skills. Play helps children to think symbolically; a ruler becomes a magic wand, today becomes a time when dinosaurs were alive, a playmate becomes an astronaut exploring space. Play helps children understand that written words stand for real objects and experiences. Dramatic play helps develop narrative skills as children make up a story about what they're doing. This helps them understand that stories happen in an order (first, next, last).
Play games.
- Scavenger hunt
- Board games
- Nature and simple science activites
- Collect things like cards, cars and dolls
Give them toys.
- Sports gear and balls, jump rope
- Large sets of blocks or bricks
- Musical instruments

An msnbc article about the Kween (of course ) It seems the only time the sport is acknowledged however briefly during a non Olympic year.
An msnbc article about the Kween (of course ) It seems the only time the sport is acknowledged however briefly during a non Olympic year.
Nice article. Little that we didn't already read elsewhere but coming from NBC which has no interests in Worlds, I was a bit surprised. Yet, NBC I think, has the Olys and maybe they want to butter her up to make sure the Figure Skating segment gets high ratings. She is a draw even without 3x3s. IMO, she's even a star without 3x3s.
Note the headline: "Michelle Kwan will go for her sixth world skating championship next weekend." That's how much NBC pays attention to the sport.
I have a question, Mathman. Doesn't Kwan have 5 world championships? Wouldn't that mean she IS going for her 6th world championship? I'm confused by your post. She isn't going for her 7th or her 5th (cuz she already has that). So I'm just wondering why you posted that.
ETA: Uh, why am I "tripping on the podium"???
NEXT WEEKEND, Realistic, LOL. Next weekend she will be going for her ninth U.S. Championship.
"Tripping on the podium" means that you are in the category of 50-75 posts. (Don't blame me, Paula came up with these, LOL.) I guess it means, a few more posts and you'll be a GS medalist, LOL.
Number of Posts Title
1-24 Posts -- Rinkside
25-49 Posts -- On the Ice
50-74 Posts --Tripping on the Podium
75-100 Posts --Medalist
100+ Posts --Custom Title
Oh, duh, Mathman! I wasn't even paying attention to it being NATIONALS! Oh good grief! Shows how well I comprehend what I'm reading sometimes. Thanks for clearing all of that up!
Yeah, guess I'll have to post a few more times over here to get "medalist" status. But it's difficult because I have my own figure skating board as well.
Interesting quote I found:
Considering how long she's been around, personally I think it's kind of hard not to think so...And its not as if Kwan is some aging superstar trying to hold on to one last bit of glory. The 24-year-old remains the sports gold standard when shes at her peak, with a powerful beauty and grace no one can match. Shes won seven straight U.S. titles and eight overall, trailing only Owen, and is a heavy favorite to win again next weekend.
ITA with the "heavy favorite to win next weekend" though. She's almost had this one already.
Here's another one:
Wow...looks like she isn't even close to being done yet 2010 anybody?Its going to be hard for me one day to just walk out of the ice rink and say, Im done.
But I'm sure she more likely means quitting skating in general, not competitive skating. She may continue to do shows, pro-ams, etc.

Why do some fans harp on Kwan's age and experience. Slutskaya's older and has been in the same competitions as Kwan. Arakawa the same and Cohen not far behind. What is it with being old at in your twenties?
As George Burns said in his nineties. "Oh to be sixty again".
Kwan won't go in as the favorite. Soon the talk will be of the other one (Sasha). I predict Sasha will win the SP and the media will focus on the "teenage sprite" (although she is also in her 20's and no longer the up and comer) and they'll speak of Kwan's demise.Originally Posted by Red Dog
I do wish the media would get certain facts right though.
Well, in a way, she is going for a birth on the World team next week so that she has a shot at another world title... so the headline wasn't completely WRONG, like others I've seen, just not entirely on the mark.

A Natural Stunner in North Carolina
Balsam Mountain Inn • Balsam, NC
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Regular Room
- Daily Gourmet Breakfast
- Bottle of Wine and Two Souvenir Wineglasses
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Four Nights
Aside from a "great location off of Highway 74/23," this inn has "exquisite dining and old-fashioned Southern hospitality" as well as " fabulous" mountain views from the rockers on the front porch.
—Raves from LivingSocial Members
The Destination
The Blue Ridge Parkway's tagline? "America's Favorite Drive." But it isn't just fishing for compliments: The 469-mile All-American Road that stretches through the Appalachians was named one of America's Most Iconic Drives by Travel + Leisure and continues to rack up awards. Quite the media darling when it comes to the foliage, the area has earned rave reviews for its turning leaves—but snow-capped or in full spring bloom, the area is natural eye-candy year round.
The Digs
Enter the Balsam Mountain Inn, tucked between the cloud-caressing Plott Balsam and Richland Balsam mountain ranges about 30 miles from Asheville. This Neoclassical-style outpost first opened its doors in 1908; today, it's fully restored and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The mansard roof is still intact and the halls are lined with an array of modern and historic artwork. Each room is different, offering its own eclectic and whimsical take on comfort and hospitality.
The Diversions
Cruise along the Blue Ridge Parkway or hike along Waterrock Knob, the highest peak of the Plott Balsam range with an elevation of 6,292 feet. Order dinner in the inn's dining room. "The restaurant is fabulous—softly lighted, with warm wood tones. It gets an 'A' for atmosphere and cuisine, especially the mountain trout. A sumptuous breakfast awaits in the morning," says Southern Living. And sumptuous it is, with a rotating menu that may include caramelized French toast, eggs Elizabethan, or cracked pepper biscuits with gravy and grits.
We loved everything about this place... The location, ambiance, and scenery were wonderful, and helped to make this one of the absolute best vacations my fiancé and I have had."-- LivingSocial Member

Sellersburg teen captures world checkers championship
Few in the world have mastered the game of checkers the way a southern Indiana teenager has.
Fourteen-year-old Alex Holmes of Sellersburg resident captured the 2013 World Checker Draughts Federation youth world championship last month in Barbados.
The News and Tribune reports the Silver Creek High School freshman is ranked 37th in the world.
Holmes bested a field of 11 in the youth championship and qualified to compete in the masters division, which is reserved for the top checkers players in the world regardless of age.
His father, Michael Holmes, also is among the top-rated checkers players in the world and had Alex playing the game by the time he was 4.
Alex said he studied his father's strategy and adopted some of it into his own game.

Modelled remains of the glacier cover in the European Alps for an increase in average summer air temperature of 1 to 5 oC Modelled remains of the Alpine glacierisation (climatic accumulation area) according to an increase in summer air temperature of +1 to +5 °C. The total of 100% refers to the ice cover of the reference period (1971–90). The 100%-marks of the other lines refer to the fraction of glacierisation of the corresponding Alpine country. Reading example: A rise in summer air temperature of 3 °C would reduce the Alpine ice cover (red curve) to about 20% of the glacier cover of the reference period (1971–90). The corresponding glacier remains of Switzerland (blue, dashed line) amounts to about 30%, whereas in Austria (black, dashed line) only about 7% of the glacier cover of the reference period is left.

Forests, health and climate change Forests are essential to our survival and well-being. Forests clean our air, our water, our soil and they regulate our climate, amongst many other things. Trees and forests are not always associated with urban landscapes. However, there too they provide invaluable, often invisible, services. Simply by acting as 'green oasis' in our concrete jungles, they offer recreation and health services for many European citizens.
Disasters in Europe: more frequent and causing more damage The number and impacts of disasters have increased in Europe in the period 1998-2009, a new report by the European Environment Agency (EEA) concludes. The report assesses the frequency of disasters and their impacts on humans, the economy and ecosystems and calls for better integrated risk disaster management across Europe.
Europe's coasts: reconciling development and conservation Europe's coastal zones are under increasing pressure from erosion, pollution, climate change, urbanisation and tourism. Such pressures threaten entire ecosystems — vital not only for wildlife but also for the economy and human well-being. The European Environment Agency (EEA) takes a closer look at the state of coastal ecosystems and policy responses to the pressures affecting them.
The Alps: Europe's cherished but endangered mountains As the 'water towers of Europe', the Alps play a crucial role in sustaining the social and economic wellbeing of millions of people living in vast lowland areas. A complex and vulnerable ecosystem, they represent Europe's central landmark.
"Climate change: act and adapt" at Green Week 2009 2009 will be a critical year in the battle against climate change, with negotiations on a global agreement to succeed the Kyoto Protocol due to conclude at the Copenhagen climate conference in December.
Climate change: diverse threats call for a united response Climate change is happening and its effects are wide-ranging. While the worst effects may not hit Europe this year or next, we cannot afford to be complacent. Europeans must put in place timely, adequate and cost-effective adaptation measures.

As you will no doubt be aware of, we attend a lot of events over the year, including everything from small user groups to huge conferences. We've seen our fair share of amazing events over the past year, and can safely say that we wouldn't want to be in the position to pick the best one! However, with the help of all the people who nominated their favourite conferences, as well as the judges who whittled it down to three spots for event of the year…
Build Conference 2011
Build was founded by Andy McMillan (he who also co-founded The Manual) in 2008, after a discussion in London about how web/design conferences were getting bigger and more commercialised. He wanted to bring conferences back to what they should be, making it about and for the community. Since then, it's become one of the hottest tickets on the conference schedule (with tickets for 2012 already in short supply). Build 2011 saw the likes of Josh Brewer, Wilson Miner (who is also nominated for Voice of the Year), Jason Santa Maria and Simon Collison wax lyrical about their craft, and also managed to get a nomination for 'Web We Should Mate With' at this year's Critters for their gorgeous website (including one of the nicest implementations of video I've ever seen). We still haven't made it along to Build, but fingers crossed we'll finally get across to Belfast to see what already looks like a brilliant line up for 2012! Read a more detailed writeup of Build 2011 by Robert Stringer here.
New Adventures in Web Design 2012
Fresh off the heels of last year's win at The Critters, New Adventures has made it's way on to the shortlist again with this year's offering. With a lot of people whispering about a 'difficult second album', after the breath of fresh air that was New Adventures 2011, Simon Collison (who is also nominated for Web Personality of the Year) and Greg Wood pulled another gem out of the bag, with another near-flawless lineup and all the charm that New Adventures offered last year. For those who didn't make it along, New Adventures 2012 saw the likes of Trent Walton, Dan Mall, Cameron Koczon, Ben Bodein and Frank Chimero (another Voice of the Year nominee) take the stage to deliver their thoughts on the state of web design. Our write-up is over here for a bit more in-depth coverage of the event, check out Laura's article here.
Web Developer's Conference 2011
Last, but definitely not least, is 2011/12′s dark horse, Web Developer's Conference. Started by Alex Older in 2007, WDC started because of the lack of affordable web development and design conferences for students outside of London. Sick of seeing conferences that charge anywhere up to £1500 for a ticket, Alex decided to start his own conference whilst still at university. Since then, WDC has grown and grown, with each year attracting the best new speakers in web development, and recently taking over Bristol's Odeon cinema as the venue! Last year saw Paul Boag, John O'Nolan, Rob Hawkes, Elliot Kember and Ben Bodien take the stage, amongst others, for a day of web development and design goodness. Read more about WDC 2011 on Simian Studio's blog here.
Where's my invite?
We're giving away a daily invite to The Critters so you can come along and vote for your favourites on June 20th at Cargo in Shoreditch, London. All you need to do is tweet this article with the hashtag #thecritters, and we'll select someone at 4pm today and send them an invite!
If you're too lazy to tweet yourself, we've made a handy tweet button below to tweet for you…

Who's creating jobs?
Under Romney, Bain Capital invested private capital in the following companies: AMC Entertainment, Burger King, Burlington Coat Factory, Clear Channel, Dominos, Dunkin Donuts, Guitar Center, Sports Authority, Staples, Toys-R-Us, and Warner Music.
Under Obama, your taxpayer dollars were invested in the following companies: Solyndra (bankrupt), Ener I (bankrupt), Beacon Power (bankrupt), Amonix Solar (bankrupt), Spectra Watt (bankrupt) and Eastern Energy (bankrupt).
All the above bankrupt companies were also Obama campaign contributors.
More change we can do without.

Concow School shuts down from chipped water pipe
CONCOW, Calif. - More than a hundred students got the day off after a pipe burst at the Concow School Monday.
A leak was discovered in the early hours this morning leaving no running water for the school
School officials said they couldn't get it fixed in time for the start of class.
The pipe came from a water facility across the street from the school
Concow School officials said more than 10,000 gallons leaked out of the water tanks over the weekend.
Experts said the frigid temperatures froze the pipe, and part of the pipe snapped off. The school called all 112 of its students this morning and told them there would be no school today.
Crews found the leak and fixed it later Monday morning.
"When they showed up this morning, they were on it," said Gregory Blake, principal and superintendent of Concow School. "We have our two maintenance guys there this morning. They did a great job and got it taken care of. They called me and then I called the office staff. Then our staff called our teachers and our students."
The staff spent Monday re-pressurizing the tanks and getting the water flowing once again.
School officials say that classes will be back in session Tuesday morning.

A modern computer system that is not part of a network is an anomaly. But managing a network and getting it to perform well can be a problem. This book describes two tools that are absolutely essential to distributed computing environments: the Network Filesystem (NFS) and the Network Information System (formerly called the "yellow pages" or YP).The Network Filesystem, developed by Sun Microsystems, is fundamental to most UNIX networks. It allows systems ranging from PCs running DOS to UNIX workstations to large mainframes to access each other's files transparently. It is the standard method for sharing files between different computer systems.As popular as NFS is, it is a "black box" for most users and administrators. This book provides a comprehensive discussion of how to plan, set up, and debug an NFS network. It is the only book we're aware of that discusses NFS and network performance tuning. This book also covers the NFS automounter, network security issues, diskless workstations, and PC/NFS.NFS isn't really complete without its companion, NIS. NIS provides a distributed database service for managing the most important administrative files, such as the passwd file and the hosts file. NIS centralizes administration of commonly replicated files, letting you make a single change to the database rather than making changes on every system on the network.This book tells you how to set up and use NIS to simplify network management. It also tells you how to use NIS to manage your own database applications, ranging from a simple telephone list to controlling access to network services.If you are managing a network of UNIX systems, or are thinking of setting up a UNIX network, you can't afford to overlook this book.
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal featured on the cover of Managing NFS and NIS is a tree porcupine, a name meaning "pig with spines." Like the guinea pig, the porcupine is not a pig at all, but a rodent. The tree porcupine is native to the eastern United States and northern Canada. In summer it feeds on green vegetation and the leaves and twigs of deciduous trees; in winter it eats the bark of evergreens. It will frequently chew away a complete ring of bark from around the tree, thereby killing it. As a result of such behavior, the porcupine does millions of dollars of damage annually to the timber industries.The spines of the tree porcupine are about two inches long, barbed, and tend to be concealed by the animal's long, coarse fur. Contrary to popular belief, the porcupine does not shoot these spines. The spines are loosely attached to the skin, so when the barb on the spine catches on an attacker, the spine will pull loose from the porcupine. Once embedded, spines will tend to work their way further in and have been known to cause death when they puncture internal organs. UNIX and its attendant programs can be unruly beasts. Nutshell Handbooks(R) help you tame them....Edie Freedman designed this cover and the entire UNIX bestiary that appears on other Nutshell Handbooks. The beasts themselves are adapted from 19th-century engravings from the Dover Pictorial Archive.The text of this book is set in Times Roman; headings are Helvetica; examples are Courier. Text was prepared using SortQuadUs sqtroff text formatter. Figures are produced with a Macintosh. Printing is done on a Tegra Varityper 5000.

Managing NFS and NIS Review
By Kevin Hudson
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Managing NFS and NIS:
A worth while, albeit dated reference. There is no coverage of NIS+. Also, little in the way of help resolving issues like the inabillity of a user to unlock their own screen in an XDM environment after converting to NIS.
