To evaluate the impacts of organic cropping system on global warming potentials (GWPs), field measurements of CH4 and N2O were taken in conventional and organic rice (Oryza sativa L.) cropping systems in southeast China. Rice paddies were under various water regimes, including continuous flooding (F), flooding–midseason drainage–reflooding (F-D-F), and flooding–midseason drainage–reflooding and moisture but without waterlogging (F-D-F-M). Nitrogen was applied at the rate of 100 kg N ha−1, as urea-N or pelletized, dehydrated manure product in conventional or organic rice paddies, respectively. Seasonal fluxes of CH4 averaged 4.44, 2.14, and 1.75 mg m−2 h−1 for the organic paddy plots under the water regimes of F, F-D-F and F-D-F-M, respectively. Relative to conventional rice paddies, organic cropping systems increased seasonal CH4 emissions by 20%, 23%, and 35% for the plots under the water regimes of F, F-D-F, and F-D-F-M, respectively. Under the water regimes of F-D-F and F-D-F-M, seasonal N2O-N emissions averaged 10.85 and 13.66 μg m−2 h−1 in organic rice paddies, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in conventional rice paddies. The net global warming potentials (GWPs) of CH4 and N2O emissions from organic rice paddies relative to conventional rice paddies were significantly higher or comparable under various water regimes. The greenhouse gas intensities were greater, while carbon efficiency ratios were lower in organic relative to conventional rice paddies. The results of this study suggest that organic cropping system might not be an effective option for mitigating the combined climatic impacts from CH4 and N2O in paddy rice production.

Crystallization behavior of ZrO2-ZnO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass has been studied by differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electronic microscope. ZrO2 doped in the glass induces the phase separation effectively. The crystal phases obtained are gahnite (ZnAl2O4) and a small amount of ZrO2 phase. SEM photographs show that the crystal phases distribute uniformly in the glass ceramics and the grain sizes of glass ceramics after different heat treatment are less than 60nm.

While the word itself literally means and derives from what we have in "common," for me, the beauty of community is that it is a curated collection of a lot of cool differences. Each of us brings something unique. Different and differences need not be dirty words. Differences are rad. I may find many music, fashion, business or art choices of people I know truly ridiculous, but wow am I stoked those people are doing their thing because their contributions make us who we are. And they make me open an eye, perk an ear, turn a corner.
Each of our lives would be wildly less rich if we rejected the artistry of those around us. A community is blessed by all of it's uncommon characteristics, and those elements emanate from the motley true beliefs, ideas, and expressions of it's people.
Any group of people is always a technicolor patchwork of differences.
When we celebrate those differences, sparks fly and a community ignites. And that community sings, dances, rises and soars.

A 33-year-old Turkish Cypriot man living in the United Kingdom was seen in the emergency department for chest pain. He was aware of the pain for some weeks, and on the day of hospital admission it worsened significantly and radiated to the left arm and back. It was constant, not pleuritic, and settled spontaneously over a period of 3 h. He smoked heavily and worked as a catering manager. His weight was stable with no other symptoms. His medical history was significant for abdominal injury sustained at the age of 5 years in a hand grenade incident that resulted in the death of his brother. He underwent laparotomy with a splenectomy at that time. Clinical examination revealed several abdominal wall scars but was otherwise unremarkable.

Clicking noise on a 2012 4Door JK with 2" Mopar lift.
I have a 4 door JK with 1400 miles on, I just got my 2" OEM lift with my 33" BFG KO's on a few days ago and I went on some trails today and noticed a weird clicking noise in the rear end whenever I turn the wheel to the right going about 20-40mph. It's almost a popping noise. I didnt do anything to crazy. If i go over a speed bump it didnt do it, its only when i turn the wheel to the right kinda sharply. What could it be? the lift only has about 300 miles on it. While off roading I didnt bottom out, or get air born, there was a couple times i was close to doing both though. Please help!

Odd because it happens when you turn.
"clicking" is usually u-joints but low miles ??

Or the rear. What wheels are you running?
lifted JK's the rear link is very close to the stock wheel.
But it think that would be noticed going over a bump or uneven terrain.
Take some pics if you can
Yeah im 99% sure its from the rear, i believe fron the left side also, i had two people in the car that though the same thing also. Its not a "clicking" noise i should have said a single click noise, its more of a pop. It sounded like from the left rear, i had someone in the back seat and he could hear it through the floor board behind my seat. When we got home i stood on the rear bumper and made the jeep move up and down and couldnt get it to do it, i also made it sway from side to side and it didnt do it. it only happens when im in motion and turn the wheel sharply to the right.

Keep us posted
Fixed the problem!! The rear left spring moved back in its housing and was popping on the nut holding the rear sway bar bracket.. now i just gotta figure out if the spring moving in the housing is a normal thing or not..

First, you must have a chode to complete the Jumbo Shrimp approximately an 8" circumference. Obtain a shrimp cocktail, but this isn't your regular shrimp cocktail...fill the glass with menstrual blood and hang used condoms from the rim. Dip your scrotum in the blood and let soak for a minute while stirring. Meanwhile your partner is doing reservoir shots of stale cum from the used condoms but not swallowing, just gargling. Now, you dip your scrotum into the mouthful of stale jizz while emptying the remains of the menstrual blood into her mouth creating a milky red stew. When the mixture is complete, begin doggy-style intercourse while dipping jumbo shrimp into the concoction. Make sure you get her pregnant.

Jeremy: "Oh yeah?"
Chad: "Yeah man she let me do the Jumbo Shrimp!"

A classification of a relationship. Something more than friends with benefits but not necessarily exclusive. It's basically being exclusive with one person but you have a built-in 3 strike random hookup policy. It's for those who want to be exclusive but tend to get into trouble...so it doesn't really make sense; like jumbo shrimp.

Prepare graham cracker pastry. Set aside.
Pour cold water in a small bowl and sprinkle with gelatin.
In a double boiler beat egg yolks slightly then add sugar, salt and milk. Cook over boiling water until it's like custard, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally while cooking.
Add gelatin mixture to hot mixture and stir until well dissolved. Cool until mixture begins to thicken, then add cheese and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form using chilled beaters.
In another bowl, beat egg whites until they are stiff and dry. Fold (do not beat) both the cream and egg whites into the beaten mixture.
Spoon into prepared pan, then sprinkle with remaining 1 cup crumb mixture. Refrigerate 12 hours.
Note: Bakers cheese may be available at Grasch Foods in Brookfield and other specialty stores.
Graham cracker pastry:
In large bowl, combine ingredients and mix well. Use all but 1 cup to line a 9- or 10-inch springform pan. Set side until ready to use.
Tester's note: Tester suggests increasing amount of butter in the crust to ½ cup.

Impression of two or more woodblocks, generally one line block and various tone blocks, which are printed on top of each other. The result is a colour print, usually in various shades of a single colour, which may look like a pen-and-wash drawing or an oil sketch. Some are printed on cloth, or paper textured like cloth, which adds to their painterly effect. As such, and because of their monumental impact, they were ideal for hanging on a wall as substitutes for oil.
Paintings. In the catalogue Chiaroscuro Woodcuts. Hendrick Goltzius and his Time, all the woodcuts associated with Goltzius's name are described in detail and reproduced in various colour combinations. Particular attention has been paid to technical data and the description of states, and the discussion also embraces iconography and stylistic evolution. The locations of rare prints are meticulously recorded, as are those of any prints held in a number of key collections.
Numerous plates bring out the variety of colour displayed in these woodcuts, and also reproduce related drawings and alternative impressions. In order to highlight Goltzius's role in the development of the technique, the book includes a discussion of prints by German and Italian artists like Hans Baldung Grien and Ugo da Carpi. More immediate precursors from the Southern Netherlands are likewise represented, including Frans Floris with some hitherto unpublished works.
There are also prints by contemporaries who chose the medium of the chiaroscuro woodcut under Goltzius's influence. The vogue he initiated even led to two masterly woodcuts by Albrecht Durer, Rhinoceros and the superb Portrait of Ulrich Varnbuler, which were republished in the Netherlands a century after their origin in the chiaroscuro technique using freshly cut tone blocks. This practice is also discussed. The book is being published to coincide with an exhibition in.
The Rijksprentenkabinet in Amsterdam, which can be seen from 14 November 1992 to 10 January 1993. This exhibition, for which loans have been obtained from various European and American collections, will contain impressions, in various colour combinations, of all the prints discussed, among them seven impressions of the powerful Hercules and Cacus of 1588. The exhibition has been organized in collaboration with the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio (USA), where it.
Will be on view from 9 February to 11 April 1993.

Reform of pensions landscape
July 2016
Minister for Social Protection Leo Varadkar has welcomed the proposal to establish a supplementary pension scheme and envisages an opt-out scheme in the future where employees would automatically be enrolled with the right to opt out. He said putting in place a new scheme to tackle the unsustainability of state pension costs would be a ten year process but the current economic conditions were better than they had been for decades to make a start.
CIPD Ireland welcomes the proposed reforms of the pension's landscape to ensure sustainability and equity of pension coverage into the future.
The reforms are part of The Pensions Authority's proposal to simplify the pension's landscape by making pension rules easier to understand and to remove duplications and anomalies in the current system. The objectives of The Pensions Authority's reform proposals are:
- All schemes should be actively managed to a high standard.
- The Authority should be able to oversee the running of schemes to the necessary detail and to intervene where beneficiary interests are under threat.
- Pension scheme savers should find it easier to understand the pension system and should be supported to make the necessary decisions.
Submissions have been invited by The Pensions Authority from all stakeholders and interested parties on the Authority's proposals. CIPD Ireland will be engaging with members in relation to this consultation over the coming months.

On paper, Yonderland shouldn't have worked. In an era dominated by knowing Disney-style tween shows and animated superhero spin-offs, a show deliberately harking back to 1980s films such as Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal – featuring a multi-tasking mum on a quest to save a fantasy world, aided by a puppet and a talking stick – should have seemed creaky and ludicrous.
And yet Sky1's Sunday-night comedy has been a success. Raved about by critics, it pulls in an average of 1.2 million viewers, a great ratings figure for a non-terrestrial channel.
That's partly down to the wit of its writing team, the comedians behind the similarly smart/silly Horrible Histories, and partly because Yonderland is at the forefront of a heartening new commissioning trend, away from kid-specific programming and towards all-inclusive family entertainment.
It's a phenomenon whose roots lie in Russell T Davies's finely-tuned rebooting of Doctor Who in 2005, though, that aside, for most of the Noughties the only shows that could be considered genuinely "all ages" were those produced by Simon Cowell. Meanwhile, the proliferation of children's channels from CBeebies to Nick Jr meant that children, freed from the supposed tyranny of children's hours, could watch programmes aimed at them whenever they wanted.
In theory, this was a great idea. In practice, it meant that parents parked their kids in front of the gogglebox and got on with making tea. Factor-in the shift towards very-small-screen, solo viewing on laptops and tablets, and it seemed that television as a communal household experience was doomed.
Yet recently the tide has turned again as TV has caught up with cinema in offering shows that can work for different ages at different levels simultaneously. Sky is a leader in this field: as well as Yonderland, they have recently offered a less bawdy version of Chris O'Dowd's warm-hearted semi-autobiographical comedy-drama Moone Boy on Sundays, with certain scenes and lines removed to make it more suitable for children. They've also been showing the witty but wholesome mockumentary Modern Family since 2009 and continue to air the longest-running family show of them all, The Simpsons.
Meanwhile, the BBC has capitalised on the post-Who appetite for family adventures with the likes of Merlin and Atlantis while ITV has rescued the all-ages genre of light entertainment from the reality TV doldrums with Ant and Dec's supremely watchable Saturday Night Takeaway, a programme whose popularity has resulted in a spin-off, live arena tour, scheduled for next year.
Even specialised children's channels have broadened their horizons. CBBC's Horrible Histories may have ended but it continues to produce clever children's dramas: Wolfblood, a supernatural series about young werewolves, was repeated on BBC3 and has been compared to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In addition, on the animation front, Disney's witty Phineas and Ferb offers jokes for both children and adults and Cartoon Network's Adventure Time is a surreal, psychedelic fantasy that offers weary parents a respite from the endless shouting of Dora the Explorer.
And now the family TV boom is set to grow bigger, as the giants of online TV enter the fray. Following the adults-only successes of House of Cards and Orange is the New Black, Netflix has taken its first step into high-quality original programming for all the family by signing a deal with animation giants DreamWorks; the first fruit of this collaboration, animated series Turbo FAST, based on the recent Hollywood film Turbo, arrives on Christmas Eve. Not to be outdone, Amazon recently ordered three children's series to full season, out of five series in total, as part of its move into TV production, including the inventive science-based series AnneBots. Pilots for all three are available to watch on LoveFilm now, with more episodes coming next year.
So why is family entertainment suddenly all the rage? Perhaps it's down to an onrush of nostalgia among TV execs. "When I was a child there weren't bespoke channels for children and so my viewing experience was more about watching anything and everything alongside my parents," explains Adam MacDonald, Sky1's director of programming. "Now children can have their own worlds but you don't want to lose that feeling of watching television together and because of that we looked for shows with cross-generational appeal."
Meanwhile, Cindy Holland, vice president of original content at Netflix, says its deal with Dreamworks was also motivated by harking back to a bygone era of programming. "Some of the older shows that have done best for us on Netflix are those that parents remember from their childhood … [and as with those] DreamWorks create the sort of stories that appeal on different levels."
It's certainly true that parents in their mid-to-late thirties and early forties look back wistfully at the viewing habits of their youth. At the BFI preview event for Yonderland that I attended in October, the show's creators noted that they had grown up watching comedies such as Blackadder and Monty Python with their parents and so, influenced by that, chose "not to write deliberately for children but to stick to what makes us laugh".
As a 40-year-old parent I can only applaud this sentiment, although be warned: all this sophisticated family fare could turn your child into an arch armchair critic. When my six-year-old learnt about Doctor Who, we started watching the reboot from the beginning on Netflix. Now she considers Christopher Eccleston, a man who left the show before she was born, "her" Doctor, while dismissing David Tennant as "the man from the TV ads" and Matt Smith as "not right".
Peter Capaldi should be very afraid…
'Turbo FAST' comes to Netflix on 24 Dec. 'Yonderland' continues on Sky1, Sundays at 6.30pm and you can catch up with previous episodes on Sky OnDemand

Egypt protesters spurn army's referendum offer
Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi said the military was ready to hand over to civilians if Egyptians wanted it.
Cairo: A roar of defiance rippled through Cairo's Tahrir Square on Tuesday night as thousands of protesters demanding an end to army rule spurned an offer from Egypt's military leader to let the people decide in a referendum.
Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi said the military was ready to hand over to civilians if Egyptians wanted it, in concessions designed to end four days of clashes in the capital and beyond that have left at least 36 people dead.
Impatience mounted among protesters massed in the square during Tantawi's nervous, faltering speech, witnesses said, and a chorus of "leave, leave!" erupted when it ended.
"He is trying to say that, despite all these people in Tahrir, they don't represent the public," said 32-year-old protester Rasha, one of dozens who huddled around a radio in a Cairo cafe to hear the speech. "He wants to pull the rug from under them and take it to a public referendum."
In Egypt's second city of Alexandria, hundreds of protesters held aloft their shoes in a traditional gesture of disrespect.
An army source said the referendum offer would be triggered if the people reject Tantawi's pledge of a new government and an earlier than planned presidential vote.
But protesters said Tuesday's mass turnout for a "million-man march" was already a clear enough message to the generals. Tens of thousands of people had packed into the square.
"All they are doing now is forcing people to escalate," said Mohamed, 23, a financial analyst. "They are leaving. There is no question about it... This opens the door for instability."
Clashes between protesters and riot police continued in side-streets off Tahrir. Among the thousands thronging the square, fevered debates on Egypt's future were under way. The dominant mood was one of defiance.
"It looks like he plagiarised Mubarak's speech," said Sara Hussein, a 24-year-old human rights activist. "The second that people saw the direction of the speech, they started chanting 'down with military rule'. They didn't even give him a chance."
Some who watched the speech said the army was inviting further trouble by not returning to the barracks immediately.
Others saw the referendum offer, coming one week before a planned parliamentary election, as a ploy to prolong army rule.
"It is a clever tactic. It will lead to the prolonging of the transitional period because having this referendum naturally means postponing the parliamentary elections," said Essam Sheha of the liberal Wafd party.
He estimated that four fifths of Egyptians would vote to prolong army rule because they yearn for stability and security since Mubarak's overthrow.
Bassel Adel of the liberal Free Egyptians party's presidential council, said: "This is political carelessness. It puts the army on one side and Tahrir on the other. Tahrir Square is the authority and it brought the council to power."
Some protesters saw echoes of Mubarak, who offered successive concessions only to see demonstrations against his three-decades in power swell for 18 days until he was toppled on Feb. 11.
"He's doing the same as Mubarak -- offering concessions one by one. It makes no difference. What we, the people, want will come to pass," said Ibrahim Sayyed, 33.
"He wants to set the people against each other," said Ali, Sayyed's 31-year-old brother.

Unidentified irregular flower - dead-nettle like
Observed: 17th April 2011 By: s.l.garlick
Added: 23rd August 2011
Originally ID-ed as a Red Dead-nettle however I could not be sure of this due to the white stripe which can be seen on each leaf. Maybe a hybrid? The individual species were quite short in height and flowered in April. The species were growing beneath Honesty. I have also spotted this same species with white stripes on the leaves in my neighbours garden growing amongst other wildflowers.

Change the Rolaids Relief Man Award to the Mariano Rivera Award
The Rolaids Relief Award is the Cy Young Award of relievers, given to the greatest reliever in each league in the MLB. Mariano Rivera, the greatest reliever in baseball history with a total of 652 saves, retired at the end of the 2013 season, leaving a profound hole in baseball. A class-act and the humblest athlete alive, just went out and got the job done, for his teammates and not for personal glory. The sure-fire Hall of Famer deserves the Rolaids award to be renamed in honor of him, one of the greats of our generation and the history of baseball. Although the award is sponsored by Rolaids, they too should recognize the greatness of this player and change the award's name, even if the award is called "The Mariano Rivera Award, sponsored by Rolaids"

text: HOUSTON, March 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Shell, the no. 1 selling brand of gasoline in the U.S., is launching its NEW Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines today to address the increasing need for engine protection. With advanced engine technologies coming to the market and with consumers holding on to their existing vehicles longer, it is becoming increasingly important for consumers to protect their vehicles, which is typically their second largest investment. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120305/DA63965) Carbon deposit build-up or "gunk" on critical engine parts is the result of various chemical processes that occur in the engine during its normal operation. The engine gunk can make your engine less efficient over time by acting like a sponge absorbing and trapping gasoline on intake valves, and impairing the flow of gasoline through fuel injectors. The new formulation from Shell delivers 20 percent more active cleaning agents than before, designed to protect the engine's intake valves and fuel injectors from performance-robbing gunk. So no matter what you drive, no other gasoline protects your engine better than the NEW Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines. New patented cleaning agent addresses newer engine technologiesAccording to industry forecasts, new vehicle production with advanced engine technologies will show sizable increases in the coming years. In fact, in the next four years, J.D. Power and Associates forecast the number of vehicles with direct injection engines to more than triple from the 10 percent reported in 2010(1), while IHS Automotive predicts that one fifth of all North American-produced engines will be turbocharged or supercharged in the next two years.(1) These newer engine technologies are generally more sensitive to the build-up of gunk, which can negatively impact the engine's performance even more than in conventional engines. And, newer engine technologies can be subject to greater heat and pressure, which can cause cleaning agents found in lower quality gasolines to break-down and reduce their effectiveness. The NEW Shell Nitrogen Enriched Cleaning System is designed to maintain thermal stability and work under extremely hot engine temperatures, actively protecting the engine against performance-robbing gunk.

Brian Scott Lipton the editor-in-chief of TheaterMania.com was there and he stops by to fill us in on all the big winners, memorable moments and why so many movie stars are currently working in theater.
The 11th Annual Golden Trailer Awards also took place this past week and Stephen Garrett of Kinetic Trailers won two big prizes. He joins us to discuss the current state of movie promos and what its like to win the award for Trashiest Trailer.
At the box office "The Karate Kid" knocked "Shrek Forever After" out of first place after three weeks and provided a little hope for this summer's poor ticket sales. "The A Team" on the other hand opened to poor reviews and even worse box office receipts.
In television news, the final ratings for this past season's television shows have been released. We'll fill you in on which shows finished on top as well as the ones nobody cared to watch. You'll never guess where "The Jay Leno Show" came in (hint: it's not in the top 100).
All of the week's major entertainment news is covered during Big Deal or Big Whoop including Kevin Costner's plan for the Gulf oil spill, why Donald Trump is wooing Lindsay Lohan for "The Apprentice and whether "Don Quixote" would make a good action film.

text: Lawsuits challenge waste dumping by gas drillers By Ken Ward Jr. April 13, 2011 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A federal judge in Wheeling this week issued a temporary restraining order against Chesapeake Energy in one of three pending cases that challenge widespread waste-dumping practices of northern West Virginia's growing natural gas industry.U.S. District Judge Frederick P. Stamp blocked Chesapeake from hauling contaminated soil out of a waste pit it built on a Wetzel County couple's property while the couple pursues its demand for a more comprehensive cleanup plan.Larry and Jana Rine allege that Chesapeake unlawfully disposed of drilling wastes in the pit, then buried it and planned to leave it on a 210-acre property the Rines use as a part-time home and hunting camp at Silver Hill, east of New Martinsville.Now, they allege, the company is using repair of a slip on its well pad as an excuse to haul away the wastes and potentially cover up what was really dumped into the pit.Preliminary testing found the soil contained diesel fuel, benzene and a variety of other contaminants, court records show.In a suit filed late last year, the Rines argued that it's not "reasonably necessary" -- the legal test for activities allowed by state natural gas laws -- for Chesapeake to leave a buried waste dump in order to extract the gas it owns beneath the Rine property."These cases are just common sense and common law," said Brian Glasser, a Charleston lawyer who represents the Rines and has filed two other, similar cases against Chesapeake. "You can't bury a bunch of waste in somebody's yard. It's that simple."If successful, the lawsuits could force major changes in the way companies handle the huge amounts of wastes generated as they rush to drill for natural gas in the lucrative Marcellus Shale formation. Chesapeake denies any wrongdoing and, in court documents, says a permit issued by the state Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Oil and Gas authorized its activities.Company officials declined to be interviewed, but Chesapeake spokeswoman Jacque Bland said in a prepared statement, "Chesapeake does believe that its activities are prudent and entirely within its lease and property rights."In their push for more natural gas, drilling operators are increasingly using a process called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which shoots vast amounts of water, sand and chemicals deep underground to break apart rock and release the gas. West Virginia political leaders are hoping this practice expands as gas companies seek to tap into vast reserves in the Marcellus Shale, a formation that stretches from 95,000 square miles from southern New York and into eastern Ohio.Even before the Marcellus Shale was targeted, many surface landowners in West Virginia complained about their dealings with oil and gas operators. When residents don't own the oil and gas beneath their land, companies that do can generally take whatever steps are "reasonably necessary" to drill for that oil and gas. David McMahon, a Charleston lawyer who has long represented surface landowner interests, said dealing with drilling pit wastes that companies leave on their property is a complaint he hears frequently."We think leaving even the most benign thing in the ground is more than they should be allowed to do," McMahon said Wednesday. "They can haul it off, and take it to a landfill."In the Rine case, Chesapeake in August 2009 graded five to 10 acres of the property and installed gas wells and related facilities to extract natural gas it owned beneath the land. Court records say the company also dug a large waste pond for disposal of waste materials from its fracking operation and its drilling. "The waste pond was large and was lined on the bottom and sides with a black material," the Rines said in their lawsuit. "Chesapeake deposited foreign substances into the pond and the waste eventually filled the pond."Sometime in mid-2010, the lawsuit says, Chesapeake began new work at the pond. The company brought in material by truck and dumped it into the pond, the suit says. It dug a new, unlined hole adjacent to the lined pond."Chesapeake then used heavy equipment to rupture and tear the earth and lining surrounding the waste pond," the suit says. "The lining was completely breached, allowing an unknown waste liquid to run over bare ground and into the newly dug hole."After the disposal of liquids into the unlined hole, a thicker material remained in the pond with the ripped liner," the suit says. "Chesapeake placed the lining material over the top of the remnant waste, then covered the entire pond and its remaining contents with soil."About three weeks ago, the slip appeared at the edge of Chesapeake's well pad. The Rines gave the company permission to repair the slip, but instructed Chesapeake not to take any further actions until a more detailed review could be conducted. But, they said, Chesapeake began hauling away materials anyway, mixing wastes from the pit with uncontaminated soil from their yard. Chesapeake has already hauled away more than 400 trucks of materials, and has declined to tell the Rines where it was being taken, court records allege."Chesapeake's claim that it is engaged in slip repair is a ruse," the Rines' lawyers allege in court filings. "Removal of the black waste is simply an ill-considered attempt to mitigate the Rines' property damages, without determining the waste contents or the contamination footprint and without implementing the necessary handling, disposal and remediation. "Chesapeake has essentially taken over the Rine property and refuses to leave, claiming that it is accountable to no one except itself."Stamp has not ruled on the larger issues in the case, but the judge did block Chesapeake from removing more materials from the site, and set a hearing for next week to consider more evidence and arguments.Reach Ken Ward Jr. at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1702.

Challenge Three
It was dark.
Vanessa Scot-Finn sat on a chair in the center of the room, staring at the blank patch of light cast by the projector behind her. The remote trembled in her hand and her finger hovered over the play button. But she didn't press it.
"This is your last chance," Captain Deval had said. "Once you watch the recording, there's no turning back." Vanessa could feel the captain's eyes on the back of her head now, applying silent, invisible pressure for her to decide.
Vanessa let out a breath she didn't realize she'd been holding. She was being stupid. She hadn't gone through four years of school and training just to back out now. What could possibly be in that recording that would make her want to change her mind? Mentally chiding herself for her indecision, Vanessa set her teeth and hit the button.
The square of light on the wall flickered, vanished, then was replaced by large white letters which spread themselves across the cracked concrete backdrop.
The following is a video diary entry of Dr. Charles Bailey, recorded in the Earth year 2224 CE aboard the spaceship, Hope. Its contents are confidential and restricted to Enforcement viewing only.
"Hello? Is this on?"
A middle-aged man in a gray suit, who Vanessa could only assume was Dr. Bailey, was now projected on the wall before her. He was dark-skinned and bald with a short, graying beard and fuzzy eyebrows. Behind him Vanessa could see a dull metal wall that was pockmarked with rivets and tiny, multicolored lights. There was a small window set into the wall, through which a brilliant scatter of stars was visible, sprinkled across the pure blackness of deep space. The entire scene jittered as the man reached forward and adjusted the camera, and for a moment all that could be seen was the man's face as he peered closely into it. Then, apparently satisfied, he sat back in his chair and looked straight at Vanessa.
"Well, today is —" the man consulted a handheld computer resting on his lap "— day nine thousand, five hundred and twelve of our journey, meaning we're roughly a third of the way there. A few weeks ago we celebrated twenty-six years since leaving Earth — not that that's really much to celebrate. A spaceship's no fit place to spend one's life. . . . I suppose we did all sign up for this . . . but how could we have known what living in space for the rest of our lives would be like? We were just kids, really. I was twenty-one, but most of us were younger than that. How could we have been expected to make that decision?"
He shook his head. "I still dream about Earth sometimes. I still remember what it was like. And you know, it's the stupid things you never thought about that you miss: like weather, or gravity. When you're on a planet, you take them for granted. You take everything for granted. But God, I miss gravity . . . centrifugal force just doesn't quite cut it. I doubt I'll ever get used to this damn Coriolis effect.
"Enough of that, though, I'm rambling," he said abruptly. His eyes, which had lost focus during his remembrances, snapped back to the camera. "After all, there's finally some real news to talk about," he continued. "The probe's just landed on Amber! Well, not just. It happened more than two years ago, seeing as we're still more than two light-years away from Amber, but the message just came in three days ago.
"We've had scans and photographs for decades now, but it's somewhat comforting to know that humankind has at last — if not set foot on — then at least set something on the surface of an extrasolar object. And it's better than we'd hoped; the atmosphere is thick and tolerable near the surface. Radiation's off the charts, of course, but the probe has already picked up some caves we might be able to settle in.
"The real surprise, though, is how much life there is. I mean, we knew there was life, but we never imagined how much. It shatters all the assumptions we've ever had about life and where it can or can't exist."
He suddenly stopped and glanced around as though to make sure no one was listening. Apparently, he found no eavesdroppers, but when he began again his voice was just low enough to hint at secrecy.
"The probe also picked up something else that we weren't immediately able to identify. Some apparently mobile anomalies that exist on the night side of Amber. They reacted most peculiarly to the probe — differently than anything else did. While more tests certainly need to be run, we believe they may be other higher life forms — and, well, we can't be sure yet, but we suspect they may even border on intelligent. We think they tried to communicate with us.
"Only a handful of us know about them; for the moment we've decided to keep this discovery quiet. If all the colonists were to learn that there may be an extraterrestrial civilization out there . . . well, we'll need to do simulations on the societal repercussions it could have on all of us. The last thing we want is for an intelligent race to be exploited. In the meantime, we have labeled the anomalies 'subject X' and we plan to monitor them closely over the next few years before we consider whether revealing them would be safe."
There was a click from the back of the room and suddenly, the man and the ship winked out like a flashlight, leaving Vanessa staring at the blank wall once more. She blinked as the lights in the room came on and turned in her seat to see Captain Deval striding toward her from the doorway, his tunnel boots thudding loudly on the floor.
"So that's it?" said Vanessa softly. "That's the secret? There are aliens on Amber?"
Captain Deval gave his trademark, lopsided smile. Vanessa had heard it was so crooked because some of the muscles in the left side of his face had been paralyzed in a tunnel accident.
"Not aliens, honey — we're the aliens," he growled. "People think Enforcement's job to keep order — but that's only part of it. Enforcement's biggest job is to keep a secret."
Vanessa struggled with herself for a moment. She didn't know why this was difficult for her to accept. Perhaps it was simply because she resented having been lied to for so long and because she hadn't joined Enforcement with the notion that she would be defending a lie. Was it really so necessary to keep these creatures secret? Was it because the founders believed the Tellurians would enslave them as had happened with so many cultures on Earth? Or did they think the opposite might happen? Suddenly, she recalled the Dark Shadows her brother Rodney had constantly been going on about. Perhaps he hadn't been crazy after all.
"And did they find out?" Vanessa asked after a moment. "Are the creatures intelligent?"
"Bordering on intelligent," replied the captain.
"What's the difference?"
"All the difference in the world."

It's titled, "The Rainforest: The Secret to Building the Next Silicon Valley," — The Rain Forest Book — and is a story in which authors and venture capitalists Victor Hwang and Greg Horowitz compare the rapid blossoming of Silicon Valley to the spontaneous sprouting conditions of the rainforest. This fragile, divergent environment does not control or plan the emergence of new species, but rather creates conditions that allow the ecosystem to spawn robust life forms that compete successfully in unimagined ways.

Welcome to my Blog, do you have an idea about education? Here is a place for you to state what is on your mind. Please this is not a place to advertise your company or products, such comments will not be posted!
Substitutes are vital to education and we feel the following recommendations:
|1. No person should be a substitute teacher unless they have passed a security background check by county, state and federal security personal.
|2. Substitute teachers should be paid according to the degree and years of experience. Give substitutes raises when all the other employees are given raises.
|3. Hiring priorities need to be according to an individual's degrees or certification. School systems are looking for warm bodies to fill the classroom. Often the substitutes give wrong or erroneous information. In the medical profession only a certified professionals are allowed to handle a patient. Should the education field have a lower standard?
|4. Unless certified in the field no substitute should be allowed to give lectures, administer tests or act in the same capacity as a teacher.
5. Unless certified in the field no substitute should be allowed to replace a teacher for extended periods of time.
|6. Substitutes should be given three or four days of instruction by a professional on a teacher' rights, responsibilities, methods and state, county municipal procedures.
|7. Substitutes need to have liability and workman's compensation insurance.
|8. Substitutes need to have access to automatic deposit, credit union, in-service programs and all other services offered by the state, county and municipal employees.
|9. Substitutes need to be backed for discipline problems equal to that of the teacher.
|10. If a substitute is called in for an assignment or consultation, he or she needs to be paid for his or her time.
|11. A uniform system of contacting substitutes needs to be established. Hours need to be set and standards need to be made on who and when he or she will be called.
|12. A substitute must be allowed to turn down a position without recrimination.
|13. A set of standards of evaluation needs to be established so that a sub can understand their strengths and weaknesses.
|14.Teachers and students need to be instructed on the proper respect, treatment and methods of handling a sub.
|15. A cadre of either retired or part time teacher's needs to be established to fill in the teacher's position when he or she is incapable of fulfilling his or her duties.
There has been some discussion, misinformation, criticism and politicalization of Common Core. It is not a federally initiated or run program. The American Diploma Project started in 1996 and the National Governors' Association and business leaders saw a great need to standardize assessment, graduation requirements, knowledge achievement, skills acquisition and classes to prepare all students for work, college and the challenges of modern American life. Student would move from state to state, city to city or county to county and found they were either behind or a head of their classmates. Therefore they were frustrated and had to struggle to either keep up with the work or bored because they already covered the material. Teachers, counsels and administrators had to develop remedial programs to accommodate the transferees. You can read more about Common Core at: http://www.gradebook.org/CommonCoreStandards.htm
The 21st Century will bring new tools to current and future teachers, students, administrators and parents. The onset of whiteboards, IPads, tablets, smart phones, desk tops and laptops give, teachers, students, parents and administrators at their finger tips a host of opinions, facts and information that are truly world –wide. Education sites like The Classroom, Timesavers for Teachers, provide advice, tips, worksheets, lesson plans, information, links and tools to anyone interested in opening minds and improving the quality of education. One can see a future in which textbooks will be a secondary source of information and the internet will be an unlimited path for resources, inspiration, information and advice on all levels. The teacher, parent and administrators must be the gateways, filters and guides for the information and materials being used by the student.
I see several issues that are having devastating effects on public education:
The increased attack on the schools by armed individuals and the reaction of allowing guns in schools and loosening gun laws that enable the purchasing of guns to those who should not have them.
Recently indiviuals and special interest have challenged and are dismantling the Core Curriculum Standards. It is not fair to the students to have different levels of accomplishment from state to state, country to country, county to county and city to city. Businesses need the assurance that all their employees are capable and literate. Parents need to know that their children can pick up where they left off from their previous schools. Students must be confident that what they have learned in their schools meets the expected levels of achievement for college, work and interaction in society.
The continued movement to underfund and undercut the support of public education through vouchers, charter schools and legislation. Public schools are the life blood of our culture and achievement. It created our middle class and assured every student that they could achieve their dreams and aspirations.
The attack on teachers by some elements of society. Most teachers I know today and knew, from when I taught, are extremely hard working, professional and dedicated to their students. Yes there are individuals who don't belong in the profession and methods should be applied to remove them. To blame the ills of the system on all teachers is an insult injustice and a travesty.
The high cost of tuition must be mitigated. Students are graduating with very high debts and no way to pay them off. Universities need to find ways to pay less attention to sports and more to the needs of their student body. Legislators need to legislate corrective measures and spend less time bickering.
As a retired teacher, my heart goes out to the children and staff who tragically lost their lives. Those teachers who fought to protect their students deserve all the praise one can give. They are why I got into education so many years ago. I suggest we all do something this Christmas season. Bring donuts to a local school or library with at thank you note for all they do for children. Hug your child no matter how old they are and tell them how much you love and appreciate them.
Still nothing has been done to prevent another atrocity. How many men women and children must be hurt before politicians decide to put and end to these horrible events.

Another weekend, another player infuriated with the Detroit Lions and Ndamukong Suh for not showing any class. During the Indianapolis Colts' dramatic win over Detroit on Sunday, Suh knocked Indy right tackle Winston Justice to the ground following an interception in the fourth quarter. Justice was injured on the play, yet Suh and his teammates still celebrated. Colts offensive guard Mike McGlynn would not say that the hit was dirty after the game, but that didn't stop him from going off on the Lions for what he thought was a classless display. "Totally ignorant on their part," McGlynn said according to the Indianapolis Star. "Just childish stuff. We're all battling out there; I don't know if the hit was legal or not, but clearly he was hurt, and they're out there dancing and pointing at him and laughing. Just blatant disrespect. They're good players but there's no room for that. It's disgusting, really. "If that had happened to one of their players, we'd never do something like that. But that's what makes this even sweeter. That's why they lose. I hope they never win another game." The hit and the celebrating came not long after Suh called his reputation as a dirty player unfair, but at this point it's safe to say players around the league are tired of hearing it. Earlier in the season, Nate Burleson said the Lions need to get back to playing angry and not worrying about being the bad guys. Led by Suh and his infamous stomps and groin kicks, Detroit has gotten there. The problem is that style of play has not made them a good team. Being called a dirty team has a lousy ring to it when you're 4-8. H/T Pro Football Talk Photo credit: John David Mercer-US PRESSWIRE

The original absinthe is back: Taste Oscar Wilde, Baudelaire and Picasso's top tipple
Geege Schuman stashed this in Alcohol
Stashed in: Alcohol!
To save this post, select a stash from drop-down menu or type in a new one:
A POWERFUL alcoholic drink famed for its green colour and alleged hallucinatory properties, absinthe became famous as the tipple of Paris's 19th century bohemian set.
Now nearly a century after the Green Fairy had her wings clipped, the iconic beverage is back and tastes exactly as it would when it was first formulated in 1805.
It will be the first time in more than a lifetime that the original absinthe, prepared and sipped by artists including Oscar Wilde, Vincent Van Gogh, Baudelaire and Toulouse Lautrec (who carried a cane around Montmartre full of the stuff), will be sold.

A dramatic weekend at London 2012 came to a conclusion with Usain Bolt reaffirming his status as fastest man in the world. The Jamaican sprinter lived up to the billing, claiming gold in the 100m final, in 9.63 seconds. The speed broke his own Olympic record set when he won his first 100m gold at the 2008 Beijing Games – but fell short of his own world record of 9.59 seconds.
Elsewhere in truly momentous two days for British sport, the GB juggernaut rolled on. From Weymouth to Wimbledon, there was no shortage of ecstasy, but a little bit of agony too.
On the Nothe at Dorset, Ben Ainslie became the most successful sailor in Olympic history, winning a fourth gold in four successive Games, and on Wimbledon's Centre Court, Andy Murray received the very next big thing to a Grand Slam, an Olympic gold medal, and a silver one as well.
Murray demolished Roger Federer, the man who had reduced him to tears on the same court four weeks ago, with a sensational performance in three short sets. Crazy scheduling meant he went out to play in the mixed doubles final straight after, with only a 30-minute break. He and Laura Robson won the first set with ease, but in the end lost out in a third set tie-break to the top seeds, from Belarus, Max Mirnyi and Victoria Azarenka.
"This is No 1 for me, the biggest win of my life," said the 25-year-old Scotsman, of his singles victory. "This week's been incredible. The support's been amazing.
"I've had a lot of tough losses in my career. This was the best way to come back from the Wimbledon final. I'll never forget it."
Ben Ainslie, long considered among Great Britain's biggest certainties for gold, didn't go about it the easy way, but swept to victory when it mattered in the final Finn class race off Weymouth. The 35-year-old sailor managed to stop his arch rival, the Dane, Jonas Hogh-Christensen, from beating him to the finish line. It was Ainslie's fourth gold medal, added to a silver he won as a teen. "I'm just relieved to have got through today," he said after the race as thousands of spectators cheered for him from the Nothe overlooking Weymouth. "I've never had such a nerve-racking race in my life."
In the Olympic Stadium, Britain's reigning 400m Olympic champion Christine Ohuruogu took silver in a photo finish, to the American Sanya Richards Ross. Ohuruogu was not even close to being in contention until she entered the final straight and was seemingly willed forward by the roaring crowd. Had the race been 405m, it would have been hers.
Hull bantamweight boxer Luke Campbell also guaranteed himself at least a bronze medal after defeating Detelin Dalakliev in the quarter-finals.
In Weymouth too, the joy was tempered by Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson's failure to retain their gold from Beijing in the Star class. Instead the pair won silver after a last-minute burst from the Swedes won the race and pushed them into second.
In the velodrome, Team GB's Ed Clancy took bronze in the omnium event, which combines six cycling disciplines over two days. Victoria Pendleton, already cycling's golden girl, broke the world record in the women's sprint several times in the qualifying rounds. She will race for gold today.
But pommel horse gymnast Louis Smith, whose dazzling performance in the qualifiers last week overwhelmed everyone in the North Greenwich Arena including himself, came as close to winning a gold medal as it is possible to be.
Smith thrilled a sell-out crowd with a breathtaking routine that the judges awarded 16.066, matching the score of Hungary's double world champion Krisztian Berki. But Smith missed out on gold because his execution score of 9.066 was fractionally lower than his rival's. It would have been Britain's first gymnastic gold.

For nearly two decades, the Electronic Frontier Foundation has fearlessly defended the digital universe.
Now its online heroes are teaming up with Randall Munroe's stick-figure web-comic sensation xkcd to celebrate with collaborative T-shirts and hoodies.
The limited-edition EFF and Xkcd apparel, featuring the graphic above, is available for purchase now and will ship in January 2010. Major donors also score a copy of Munroe's new book, Xkcd: Volume 0.
It's a tough time to be dropping tax-deductible dollars, given our crappy econopocalypse, but it's not cheap defending the internet against those who would stifle digital speech, rights and innovation. You get what you pay for, so make sure you're paying the right people.

Your Honda dealership isn't the only place to locate genuine or original equipment quality parts to repair your Odyssey. Car aficionados know that long-lasting service is built into each Honda, and know that only top quality repair Odyssey parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Anyone who owns a Honda knows that when it comes to repairing their automobile only the most superior replacement parts will do.
Without the timed ignition systems in our internal combustion engines, we would need an alternative like the turbine engines we find in jets.

Whether you have mechanically timed ignition that uses a distributor or electronic ignition that uses the engine control module, your Honda Odyssey could have one or many ignition coils. But no matter how many ignition coils you have, they have a finite number of sparks. If just one Honda Odyssey ignition coil fails, then you will get fewer (if any) detonations and your engine will be robbed of power and efficiency.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Honda Odyssey part for your project or repair. When your Honda needs a top quality replacement Ignition Coil, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount.
