Command & Conquer 4: Internet connection required, release date and more details
After the announcement of Command & Conquer 4 information about the game is rare. But some details have already been leaked to the Internet.
EA confirmed that an Internet connection will b required for Command & Conquer 4. This means that even for playing the campaign you need to be online. The reason for this is the "player procession" feature. A player also can't use cheats to make himself better than it is actually the case. Command & conquer 4 is not an MMO but has some similar elements that require a permanent Internet connection.
Furthermore it was revealed that Command & Conquer 4 has been under development for about a year already. The first estimations place the release date of the real-time strategy game at March 30, 2010. This assumption is based on the information delivered by the two online shops Gamestop and EB Games which have already offered exclusive content for C&C games. An EA community manager had revealed that Command & conquer 4 would be released within the next twelve months.
Command & Conquer 4 will be based on the same engine as Red Alert 3. But in an interview it is mentioned that the developers at EA LA have made many modifications to the engine. More information is expected soon. The first details about the gameplay have also been released: The units can be upgraded again. This contains global upgrades as well as upgrades your units have earned during combat. EA also has invested a lot of time in the path finding routine and the code has been overhauled - the team is working currently fine tuning.

Srinagar, Aug. 16 (ANI): Barring a few incidents of stone-pelting in Srinagar district in which five policeman and three civilians were injured, the situation across the Kashmir Valley by and large remained peaceful on Monday.
In one of the incidents, a man suffered leg-injury when an unruly mob that had blocked the National Highway and was indulging in heavy stone pelting at Tengpora, Bypass, Srinagar was chased away by the police and security forces, said an official release.
However, in another incident of stone pelting at Alochi Bagh in Srinagar where an unruly mob pelted stones, the police had to resort to baton charging and firing tear gas shells to quell the crowd.
A woman, Nayema, suffered injuries in the incident but her condition is reported to be stable.
Meanwhile, at Shalimar Chowk of Srinagar a mob blocked the road. The mob was chased away in which one lady Sayeeda fell down but soon shifted to SKIMS in unconscious state.
She later regained her consciousness. (ANI)

Robert Murat's lawyer accused Madeleine's parents of "strange" behaviour, referring to the fact that they had left the three-year-old alone in their holiday apartment.
He then went on to claim that inhabitants of Praia da Luz in the Algarve, where Madeleine went missing, now just wanted "these bloody McCanns" to leave Portugal and return to Britain.
Scroll down for more...
The decision of Mr Murat's lawyer to go on the offensive today follows increasing signs that the case against his client may soon be dropped.
The rebuke will heap pressure on Gerry and Kate McCann who have been subjected to vitriolic smears in the Portuguese media in the past few days.
Yesterday the Portuguese daily newspaper Diario de Noticias continued its campaign against the McCanns by suggesting that police had intercepted incriminating emails between the McCanns and their friends
These attacks followed the discovery of traces of blood in the apartment, although tests are not yet back on whether the blood is Madeleine's.
In an interview with the Evening Standard, Francisco Pagarete, a lawyer who has known Mr Murat since childhood, declared: "As a Portuguese person I think it is strange that somebody would leave their kids.
"Then, after the first thing happened, they left their twins and went to see the Pope. It was like the McCanns on tour.
"When I was a small child my parents had me on a leash so I would not run away. Kids are like that. Incidents can happen. Maybe the poor child could open the door and got away.
"You would never leave them alone like that in a foreign country and go and have a drink. It is not a normal thing."
Mr Pagarete added: "People in Praia da Luz say, 'These bloody McCanns should just go away and leave this town. They are giving it a bad name'."
The series of attacks on the couple is understood to have prompted them to abandon a high-profile campaign to publicise their daughter's disappearance in Portugal.
The statements have been described as "hurtful" by a spokeswoman for the couple.
The McCanns, both doctors from Leicestershire, were considering a tour of the country to mark, on Saturday, 100 days since Madeleine vanished.
The tour has been abandoned and Gerry McCann has made it clear that the couple want to "stay low-key" until the current storm blows over.
It is understood that yesterday evening they visited police headquarters in Portimao to discuss progress in the hunt for Madeleine.
Police sources say that the McCanns were told again they were not suspects in the case after a series of allegations in local newspapers.
Mr Pagarete's intervention will not have helped the McCanns who are facing a backlash in Portugal, where they have taken up residence since Madeleine went missing on 3 May.
Mr Murat, 33, has been named an official suspect by police, although little if any evidence appears to link him to Madeleine's disappearance.
Mr Pagarete, 32, who has invited Britishborn Mr Murat to his wedding next week, said his friend and client just wanted to clear his name and get on with his life.
Mr Murat, a father of one, has also been subjected to smears in the media.
Mr Pagarete added: "If the police never clear this matter up, Robert Murat will always be pointed at in the street as the number one suspect. It has been a nightmare for him and a long one. Let's hope it finishes soon."

Britain's aircraft carrier programme faces further spiralling costs and the project remains a "high risk", MPs have warned.
Significant technical problems have not been resolved and there is potential for "uncontrolled growth" in the final bill, according to the Public Accounts Committee.
MPs warn they are "still not convinced" that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has a grip on the project and suggested it has "little control" over the costs of acquiring the aircraft
They heap criticism on the MoD for providing "deeply flawed information" that led to plans to switch the type of aircraft to be flown from the carriers.
The move was later abandoned at a cost to taxpayers of £74m, the National Audit Office revealed earlier this year.
Margaret Hodge, who chairs the PAC, said: "This U-turn is the latest in an ongoing saga that has seen billions of pounds of taxpayers' money down the drain."
In a report today, MPs said they are "still not convinced" that the MoD has got the Carrier Strike programme under control and also raised concerns that the early warning radar system that protects the carriers will not be available until two years after the first one is delivered.
They accused the MoD of a "history of making poor decisions, based on inadequate information" and also warned the department it must be more consistent in assessing what capability it needs.
Around 400 employees are working on the programme, but MPs said they were concerned that "staff are wasting their time with bureaucracy and duplicated effort" in their checks on contractors.

After spending the last 12 weeks being battered and bruised at the hands of Australia, Stuart Broad could be forgiven for wishing he was already back at home.
Yet with the Test and one-day international captain, Alastair Cook, now out of the firing line, Broad has the opportunity to salvage some lost pride as he leads England in the three-match Twenty20 series, which begins on Wednesday morning in Hobart.
Broad was one of few tourists to emerge from the disastrous Test series with his reputation relatively undiminished, taking 24 wickets and averaging almost 20 with the bat despite some poor dismissals. He was rested for the first two matches of the ODI series but returned to help England record their only win of the tour to date in the fourth match and has now been earmarked by coach Ashley Giles to replace Cook as one-day captain for next month's short tour to the West Indies.
Before then, though, Broad's mind is set on gaining revenge as England begin in earnest their preparations for March's World Twenty20 in Bangladesh.
"It would be huge [to win the series]," he said. "England cricket has been through a tough three months. There are a lot of hurt players because we have not done ourselves justice on the field. There is a real hunger in this group to finish this tour well."
Along with Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Tim Bresnan and Boyd Rankin, Broad is one of five players who have remained in Australia for the entire tour, having first arrived at the end of October. He has only lost two T20 series since being named captain in May 2011, a run that includes victories over India, and with Cook's position as one-day captain under the spotlight ahead of next year's World Cup, this will be a chance to enhance his credentials further.
The presence of the T20 specialists Alex Hales, Luke Wright and Michael Lumb, added to the in-form Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler, should give England the chance to build a platform against an Australia side who will be missing big guns David Warner, Shane Watson and Mitchell Johnson, while James Faulkner has also been ruled out after knee surgery.
"We've got some unbelievable strikers in our side," Broad said. "If we can lay a platform with the likes of Lumb, Hales, Wright, and see how they strike a ball, and then you've got Morgan and Buttler coming in, it's a pretty scary batting line-up."
One name missing from the team sheet is Kevin Pietersen, who has been named in the provisional 30-man World Twenty20 squad. Unsurprisingly, however, Broad refused to be drawn over his future.
"I think you can see from my position it would be hard to comment on that," he said. "The focus is purely on what we do in Australia and once we've got these three games, and hopefully a series win, under our belt we can focus on planning more on the World Twenty20."
England (possible team): M J Lumb, A D Hales, L J Wright, E J G Morgan, R S Bopara, J C Buttler (wk), B A Stokes, S C J Broad (capt), C J Jordan, J C Tredwell, J W Dernbach.

Description Alessandro Suardi 2006-04-11 17:24:34 EDT
Description of problem: IDE performance down by 40% in FC5 vs FC3. Logged vs hal just because killing hald alleviates the regression - but it's a userspace issue and I have no clue as to which component this might be assigned to. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): n/a How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot Fedora or vanilla kernel >2.6.15 in FC5 2. run hdparm -t on an IDE drive 3. reboot into FC3 and do the same (preferably with same vanilla kernel as in step 1 so it clearly shows up as a userspace issue) Actual results: FC3 hdparm: 33-35MB/s FC5 hdparm: 17-19MB/s Expected results: FC5 hdparm: 33-35MB/s Additional info: Booting into /sbin/init -b on FC5 and manually creating the device node for /dev/hda yields 33-35MB/s as expected.

Hi, i'm experiencing the same problem here. Asus Laptop W1N with 2,5" Toshiba IDE HD. # With hald running hdparm -t /dev/hdb Timing buffered disk reads: 74 MB in 3.01 seconds = 24.62 MB/sec # Without hald running /dev/hdb: Timing buffered disk reads: 104 MB in 3.01 seconds = 34.50 MB/sec With FC5 kernel (tested from FC5 release to current 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5) and haldaemon running, the whole system load average is always too high (from 0.30 to 0.80), tested in runlevel 1 too, with only haldaemon running (without hal running the load goes to 0.00). HAL definitively drop down the system performance... i ran HAL with # strace hald --daemon=no but i can't see any problem here. i tryed with rawhide kernel also (2.6.16-1.2204_FC6 = 2.6.17rc4-git3 ), also slow here. i haven't tryed the vanilla kernel, but this is a step to try.

Comment 2 Ugo Viti 2006-05-19 13:53:54 EDT
I discovered the following situation: If i insert a media in the DVD reader, the load average caused from hald goes down near to 0.03. The IDE layout of my laptop is: /dev/hda = DVD R/RW /dev/hdb = Toshiba Hard Disk I think the cause is related to hald that loop in pooling the DVD reader when no media is inserted. so, actually the solution is: a) Disable haldaemon service b) insert a media in the dvd or cd-rom reader also hdparm -t /dev/hdb with hald running and a media inserted show me the same result like when hald is stopped. examples tryed: 1) hald running + no media inserted: load average: 0.31, 0.29, 0.27 hdparm output: 70 MB in 3.05 seconds = 21.92 MB/sec 2) hald stopped + no media inserted: load average: 0.04, 0.07, 0.09 hdparm output: 104 MB in 3.02 seconds = 34.47 MB/sec 3) hald running + dvd media inserted: load average: 0.06, 0.10, 0.09 hdparm output: 104 MB in 3.01 seconds = 34.56 MB/sec i'll try the cvs version of haldaemon to see if this bug is solved. Best Regards
Comment 3 John (J5) Palmieri 2006-05-19 14:29:33 EDT
Looks like a kernel issue with HAL's polling for media inserts. We poll every two seconds. Actually we used to have a blacklist because of this and took out the blacklist in one of the upstream updates. 2005-10-21 Danny Kukawka <firstname.lastname@example.com> * fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/10-ide-drives.fdi: removed no longer needed blacklist entry for 'HL-DT-STCD-RW/DVD-ROM GCC-4240N'. This work fine at least with kernel 2.6.13 (tested with SUSE). We also had an old bug open about this (Bug #138148) but it was closed becuase it was stuck in NEEDINFO. Apparently it has to do with the CD drive being on the same channel as the HD. Anyway, kernel issue. Reassigning there. Please follow up on any NEEDINFO requests. Thanks.
Comment 4 Ugo Viti 2006-05-19 15:07:34 EDT
(In reply to comment #3) > Apparently it has to do with the CD drive being on the same channel as the HD. > Anyway, kernel issue. Reassigning there. Yes, i confirm this. I've many FC5 systems, and this problem append only on systems with cd/dvd readers on the same hd channel.
Comment 5 Alessandro Suardi 2006-05-21 14:58:16 EDT
All of the above is interesting, but Ugo's problem is different from mine.

So please, this is a userspace problem - the SAME kernel under FC3 and FC5 yields DIFFERENT results.
Comment 6 Dave Jones 2006-10-16 19:56:56 EDT
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you.

Comment 8 Dave Jones 2006-10-16 20:44:57 EDT
From comment #5: "Those disks are reporting >33MB/s when system boots as /sbin/init -b, or by default in FC3. So please, this is a userspace problem - the SAME kernel under FC3 and FC5 yields DIFFERENT results." This has to be a hal bug. If it were kernel, we'd see the lousy performance in all runlevels.
Comment 9 David Zeuthen 2006-10-16 23:33:16 EDT
Again, all we do in hal is to open the device every two seconds; looks like the IDE lernel drivers and/or the hardware has issues scheduling the commands to attain desired performance. I'm not sure why it makes sense to blame hal for this so reassigning back to the kernel; it's a well-known IDE problem. It could be interesting to know if Windows exhibit the same problems. (Some things are planned like 1) reduced polling interval (say, every 20 secs) when no user is logged in; 2) reduced polling interval when running on battery (say, every 5 or 10 seconds); and 3) enable apps to disable polling (think DVD watching app; we'll readahead 500MB and can leave the drive powered down for 30 minutes saving battery). But that's another story.)
Comment 10 Dave Jones 2006-10-17 01:31:26 EDT
If hal isn't to blame how do you explain that the performance is normal in runlevels where hal isn't running ?
Comment 11 David Zeuthen 2006-10-17 01:55:46 EDT
In response to comment 10: What we do is essentially this while (TRUE) { fd = open (device_file, O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK | O_EXCL); if (fd < 0) goto skip; [... code for investigating the media ...] skip: sleep (2) } See http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=hal.git;a=blob;h=22247cfc4ec90f05ba3707b2518faa059f5e6d7e;hb=9c99fc03fbac6380032a6678c641a76ef02ad834;f=hald/linux/addons/addon-storage.c for the actual code. The crux of the problems is simply that the hard disk and the optical drive share the same IDE channel (stupid decision by Toshiba, same seen for some Dell laptops too but understandable when one wants to support "media bays" before SATA became etc. prevalent). The effect of HAL opening /dev/hdb every two seconds affects the throughput of /dev/hda since the IDE channel is hogged. I also believe the problems go away if you mount a data disc in /dev/hdb (but am not entirely sure). So either this is a hardware limitation or a kernel driver problem. You could also say that user space is stupid wanting to detect media changed but that is getting old fast. Anyway, as noted in comment 9 we're moving towards more configurability and control from user space, mostly to save battery etc., but perhaps we can have a list of drive ID's etc. we know we shouldn't poll every two seconds, maybe only every five or so. I have no idea how Windows deal with hence why I asked for numbers. If Windows is doing fine and checks for media every two seconds, chances are it's a Linux kernel driver problem. Alan can probably explain this a lot better.

I also have a DVD burner, which obviously is on just one IDE channel, and for which putting in a DVD disc in the drive or not makes absolutely no difference. Just this week I used an old 2.6.16-something Torvalds kernel in FC3 to burn DVDs at 7.8x with my box, which can't even come close to such burning speed in FC5, due to the IDE disks being that much slower. Interestingly enough, it *seems* (still need more detailed testing) that an identical 2.6.19-rc2 (compiled from another FC5 box for both FC3 and FC5) is slow (~20MB/s) on both FC3 _and_ FC5, which will probably require a detailed matrix of tests :( Or is it wrong to build a kernel for FC3 on a box with a FC5 userspace ? I'm also afraid that after the recent installation of a skge Gigabit card in the box, my older kernels can't do fast USB anymore (the USB 2.0 PCI card is in the slot close to the PCI Gigabit ethernet) and they choke at 1MB/s compared to earlier 33MB/s, while 2.6.19-rc2 gets to 20MB/s - as in the IDE case. I'll try to work on more details by this weekend. And since I'm apparently the only one reporting this problem (to this extent) on FC5, please let me know whether you're interested in still pursuing this on FC5 or I'd rather just wipe FC5 out and install FC6 on the same box - I'll be keeping FC3 around obviously for its far better DVD burning performance...
Comment 13 Alan Cox 2006-10-17 07:43:05 EDT
Reassigning back to HAL this is not a kernel problem. When you ask some drives to do stuff they go through a full power on/off cycle to save power. This takes time and you jam the bus for it. Vendors appear to ship a diferently tuned windows for such systems or perhaps are using non polling approaches on drives that support them.
Comment 14 Alessandro Suardi 2006-10-29 12:44:45 EST
OK, I FINALLY found the actual bug - and it's a kernel bug. The reason why userspace seemed to be the culprit was that my kernels followed my hardware, and until I did NOT have an external USB disk, the problem did not appear. More or less at the same time I bought the external USB disk _and_ configured FC5 on the new partition - with EHCI support, while the older FC3 kernels didn't have such support; after all they were meant to be replaced by FC5. I compiled a 2.6.19-rc3-git4 kernel for FC3 with *all* options as the FC5 one, and that as well began showing the same behavior - init -b booting at 40MB/s then dropping to 20MB/s at a certain point. Such point being, after lenghty trials editing /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, the loading of ehci_hcd module. The FC6 kernel also shows hdparm -t at 20MB/s, but the figure zips to 39MB/s right after unloading ehci_hcd. Pity my USB disk at that point crawls at < 1MB/s from its original > 20MB/s speed :( I guess at this point the bug abstract should be changed to something like "loading ehci_hcd slows down IDE disk performance" Opinions ?
Comment 15 Dave Jones 2006-11-21 18:10:46 EST
over to our usb guru... Pete, any ideas what on earth could be happening here?
Comment 16 Alessandro Suardi 2008-03-18 18:10:36 EDT
Discussion on LKML has shown that the problem is an exceedingly aggressive setting on a specific VIA EHCI chipset that hammers the PCI bus every 1us instead of 10us - and turned up the patch here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/17/340 ...which works for me - FC6 booting a kernel.org 2.6.25-rc6-git2 with the above patch on top brings my hdparm -t back to 35+ and 37+ MB/s for hda and hdb respectively.
Comment 17 Bug Zapper 2008-04-03 22:37:28 EDT

Comment 18 Alessandro Suardi 2008-04-04 17:14:13 EDT
I don't know why this was placed into NEEDINFO, so I changed this to MODIFIED. I provided a pointer to a _working_ patch which should be soon (if not already) in the kernel.org mainline kernel. NEEDINFO is the wrongest possible status :)
Comment 19 Dave Jones 2008-04-04 18:27:30 EDT
That patch looks ok to me. I'll get this into rawhide for F9. We should probably also backport it to F7 & F8.
Comment 20 John Poelstra 2008-04-10 18:57:09 EDT
changing version to 'rawhide' and adding to tracker for f9
Comment 21 Will Woods 2008-04-17 14:43:43 EDT
Current rawhide kernel definitely contains the patch mentioned. Can you retest this and confirm the fix, or should we just close the bug?
Comment 22 Alessandro Suardi 2008-04-17 16:13:29 EDT
I'm for closing the bug - patch is very self-contained and already tested. Furthermore my box is still running FC6, current uptime at 29 days and that's only because I installed the patch on top of the back-then kernel-du-jour... I'm actually waiting for F9 to be released, as I upgrade that box every three Fedora cycles ;) Thanks, --alessandro
Comment 23 Will Woods 2008-04-17 17:24:47 EDT
Fair enough. Closing as per request.

14:16 / 29:44 track runner Tsutomu Nagata, 29, took up ultramarathons after an accident in 2010 left his right arm permanently handicapped. In 2013 he finished 3rd at the Lake Saroma 100 km in 6:44:33, a time that ranked him 6th in the world for the year.
Nagata made his 100 mile and international debut Jan. 25 at the Coldwater Rumble 100 Mile Trail Run in the U.S., leading for the first two 20-mile laps before being overtaken by eventual winner Catlow Shipek (U.S.A.). Post-race he wrote about his experience.
Japanese emoticons:
(^-^)/ = happy/waving
(T-T) = crying (embarrassment)
(-_-;) = worried/stress
To begin with I'd like to thank Iwamoto-san and Rina-san from Club My Star for first suggesting this opportunity. Also to everyone in Tokirun, Igarashi-sensei, Seki-sensei, Ota-san and others who supported me, I don't know how to thank you enough.
The race started at 7:00 a.m. on the 25th. At first there was a pack of four, but it quickly became just two of us.
Him: (^-^)/ "Hi! Blah blah blah blah."
Me: (T-T) "I don't speak English. Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!"
Him: (^-^)/ "What's your name?"
Me: (T-T) "NAGATA!"
Him: (^-^)/ "Oh, NAGATA!"
We talked to each other like that but I couldn't understand his name. (-_-;) Cat!? He tried to imitate a cat going meow meow but...
He went to the toilet at the end of the first loop and I took the lead. On the second lap the sun started to shine and it got so hot that I couldn't believe it was really winter. There were three aid stations per lap with great cheering and support, and I really appreciated the staff's efforts to understand my poor English. In the second half of the third lap I started slowing down and the guy caught back up to me (although I think I was the only one thinking of it as being caught). When he caught up to me he asked, "Nagata! You doing OK?" I could tell from the difference between his positive way of thinking and mine that he was very strong, but I couldn't give up then so I chased after him.
On the fourth lap I was going as hard as I could trying to close the gap since there were people who were looking forward to seeing how I did. I was feeling like, "Hey, jackass! Wait up!" I wonder what the gap between us was at the end of the fourth lap? I was going through pain and agony I'd never tasted before while I was chasing him.
The fifth lap took an hour longer. On the fifth lap I used a headlamp for the first time and ran through the darkness. I crashed into cactuses, fell lots of times, took wrong turns, and the headlamp died. I encountered a million problems, but somehow I got to the finish.
100 miles is a very long way. If I was told to run it all by myself it'd be impossible. Every person I lapped, saying "Good job!" to each other gave me strength. I felt a new world in this race and became a new person again. I find enjoyment in this through seeing my own growth and change. That's my style.
Thanks to Rina-san's translation, after the race I was able to talk a lot to that guy I met there in the States. I think there are great races and great race staff in Japan too, but my words are insufficient to express how much I felt that there was an incredibly exciting world waiting just a step outside Japan.
When I get back I want to talk about all this over some drinks. I'd like to talk more to other people who are interested in ultramarathons.
Over and out.

The City is undergoing an update to the Climate Action Plan. Since the adoption of the 2011 Climate Action Plan, new methods for calculating GHG emissions and projecting future emissions have been developed. In addition, advances in technology and public policy offer greater options for innovative GHG reduction strategies. The City's new Climate Action Plan will differ from the 2011 plan in that it will be a goal-oriented plan. In the new plan, the City will commit to implementing specific programs and projects aimed at reducing and mitigating the impacts of GHG emitting activities by targeted dates. The new plan will be CEQA qualified and will satisfy the CEQA requirements for greenhouse gas impact analysis for new development.
Two public workshops were held on Feb. 21 and Mar. 1, 2017 to obtain input from residents and businesses on the update of the City's Climate Action Plan. Also on Feb. 21, a PlaceSpeak topic and survey were posted to gather public input using an online platform. The opportunity to participate in the PlaceSpeak survey ended on April 14. All public comments are being reviewed and considered for inclusion in the updated Climate Action Plan. A summary report of all the public input received will be included as an appendix to the Climate Action Plan.
City staff continues to provided monthly progress reports to the Environmental Commission at their regular monthly meetings. An additional workshop will be held once a draft of the updated CAP is available for review.
To get on the notification list for the Climate Action Plan update, go here.
Over the past several decades, climate scientists have observed Earth's temperature warming and global mean sea levels rising. The consensus among US and international scientists is that this accelerated climate change is due to increases in human-caused greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over the last century. If left unchecked, GHG emissions have the potential to cause widespread environmental and economic impacts, including increased intensity of storms, coastal erosion, longer droughts, and impacts to the global food system.
Recognizing the important role that cities will play in the transition to a low-emission economy, the City of Encinitas adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP) in 2011. The CAP established an inventory of baseline greenhouse emissions, set GHG emissions reduction targets, and provides a roadmap for achieving GHG emissions targets through various municipal and community-based strategies. The City's CAP is a proactive step toward addressing global climate change through local actions, with a focus on promoting alternative transportation, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and adaptation measures.
As a coastal community, it is of particular importance to understand the potential impacts of climate change. Sea level rise, in combination with stronger storms, could cause significant coastal erosion and damage to our beaches, bluffs and coastal infrastructure. The City of Encinitas' Shoreline Management Program focuses on the protection and enhancement of the City's coastline and will adapt to address the effects of climate change.

12VDC Battery Integrator, MFG# BI-100, 100 Amp, enables charging 2 separate banks w/o voltage drop w/100% isolation at all other times w/easy 3 wire hook up (BATT+, BATT+, GRND).
Charging multiple battery banks without use of diode isolators dictates that the batteries be connected or ?integrated? only whenever a charge voltage is present so that they may be charged simultaneously, then disconnected or ?isolated? when in use to allow for selective discharge and avoid having the secondary or standby battery drain into the primary battery.
Battery Integrators perform this function automatically, acting as a ?smart? switch to connect independent battery banks only when a charging voltage is present. Otherwise, they are isolated, and discharge between banks is prevented.
The traditional rugged and reliable diode isolator can also be used for this function, as it also maintains isolation between banks and allows charging from multiple sources. However, one drawback is inefficiency when voltage is lost as current passes through the diodes, resulting in undercharge if the charging source does not compensate for the voltage drop.
The Battery Integrator causes no voltage drop in the charging system, while the multiple batteries are charged as a single bank whenever a charging source of approximately 13.2 VDC or 26.4 VDC or greater is present (depending on model).
When the alternator or charger is off or a large load causes the voltage to drop below the disconnect point the unit breaks the common tie between the banks. This allows selective battery discharge and prevents ?dumping? of a higher-charged bank into a lower-charged bank. The unit may also be activated to connect other batteries through the key starter or a manual switch to provide an added ?boost? from the secondary battery whenever the starter is engaged and the unit senses there is sufficient voltage in that battery to provide an assist.
For systems with more than two banks, an isolator must be installed for each additional bank to provide the same isolation and integration as described above.

"Why You Still Can't Get a Vaccine for HIV" plus 2 more Health – TIME

- South Africa's New HIV Vaccine Trial Hopes to Be the 'Final Nail in the Coffin'
Why You Still Can't Get a Vaccine for HIV
Posted: 28 Nov 2016 09:30 AM PST
The first HIV vaccine trial in seven years is launching in South Africa.
The trial is called HVTN 702, and the goal is to enroll 5,400 sexually active men and women between 18 and 35 throughout South Africa, where more than 1,000 people are infected with HIV each day. It's the most ambitious HIV vaccine trial launched so far.
"If deployed alongside our current armory of proven HIV prevention tools, a safe and effective vaccine could be the final nail in the coffin for HIV," Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) said in a statement about the trial.
Though scientists have been able to create vaccines for other viruses, developing a vaccine for HIV has been especially challenging. (In lieu of one, doctors mostly use preventative drugs like Truvada to help prevent contraction of the virus in uninfected people who are at high risk.)
But a vaccine could significantly taper infections worldwide. "Even a moderately effective vaccine would significantly decrease the burden of HIV disease over time," said Fauci in a statement.
So why are HIV vaccines so elusive?
HIV behaves unlike most other viruses in some important ways. Usually, when a person is infected with a virus, their immune system creates antibodies that target the bug. That's usually the starting point for researchers, who work to develop drugs that can imitate that process (but without causing the recipient to develop a full blown reaction to the virus). What's tricky about HIV, however, is that when a person is infected with the virus, that same process of developing antibodies isn't triggered.
"One of the reasons why it has been so difficult to make an AIDS vaccine is that the virus infects the very cells of the immune system that any vaccine is supposed to induce," senior author Dr. Guido Silvestri, chief of microbiology and immunology at Yerkes National Primate Research Center said in a statement.
Still, expert hope the new vaccine trial will work better than earlier attempts. The new vaccine is based on a version tested in a clinical trial in Thailand, with results that were released in 2009. The study showed that the vaccine was about 30% effective at preventing infection over 3.5 years. In the new trial, researchers hope to spur greater protection against the virus for longer. The results are expected to be available in late 2020.
7 Low-Carb Food Swaps Nutritionists Love
Posted: 28 Nov 2016 06:55 AM PST
Carbs aren't always the enemy. In fact, good-for-you whole grains such as oats, farro, and barley are great sources of important nutrients like protein, fiber, iron, and B vitamins. But substituting veggies, fruits, or pulses for refined carbohydrates (think bread, pasta, and all-purpose flour) can be beneficial, especially if you're looking to reduce the amount of refined carbs in your diet, trim calories, and amp up vitamin intake. We asked seven nutritionists to share the low-carb swaps they use to cut down on carbohydrates without sacrificing taste.

Fava beans aren't just for your salad. The legume can also be found in flour form—and it's more nutritious than all-purpose flour.
"Per quarter cup, fava bean flour packs 8 grams of fiber (compared with less than 1 gram in all-purpose flour) and 4 grams fewer carbs, as well as protein, minerals, and antioxidants," says Health's contributing nutrition editor Cynthia Sass, RD. "And it works great in nearly any recipe."
Lettuce wraps
You've probably made butter lettuce wraps with ground chicken or pork before. But don't stop there: "Collard greens, kale, chard, and lettuce leaves are a nutritious way to cut calories on sandwiches and a good replacement for taco 'shells' too," says Marisa Moore, RDN, adding that swapping greens for grains can save you up to 300 calories. For a quick meal that's packed with flavor, she suggests wrapping seasoned white beans in a kale leaf with marinara sauce drizzled on top.

Mashed turnips
Turn up the nutritional content (but not the calorie count) with turnips. Like potatoes, turnips are a starch vegetable, but they contain two-thirds of the calories, making them a great alternative to mashed potatoes.
"They're a low-calorie vegetable that's a great source of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins K, C and A," says Leah Kaufman, RD. "Plus, one cup of turnips is just 35 calories and 8 grams of fiber." To make mashed turnips, steam and mash the veggie, then add low-fat milk and a dollop of soft cheese for an extra creamy side dish.
Carrot noodles
Zucchini noodles (or "zoodles") are one of the most popular low-carb swaps, and for good reason—the summer veggie has a mild flavor that works well in a variety of different dishes. But zucchini isn't the only veggie you can put in your spiralizer: Carrots also make a delicious pasta substitute.
"Something a little bit different is Carrot Pad See Ew, a low-carb take on one of my favorite Thai dishes," says registered dietitian Brittany Kohn, who frequently makes this Paleo Pad See Ew recipe. "I love it because it really feels like you're eating noodles, but not only are you avoiding carbs, you're also adding servings of vegetables."
Whipped cauliflower
Like turnips, cauliflower also makes a healthy—but still decadent-tasting—substitute for mashed potatoes.
"I love to make 'whipped cauliflower' instead of traditional mashed potatoes," says Megan Roosevelt, RDN, founder of HealthyGroceryGirl.com. "I'm not discriminating against potatoes. However, cauliflower contains more fiber than white potatoes, so it's a great option if you're watching your blood sugar levels or sugar intake."
To make, steam cauliflower florets and then blend in a food processor until they have the consistency of mashed potatoes. To give the dish a flavor boost, you can also add in celery root, which tastes like a delicious mix of celery and parsley.

Broccoli 'rice'
You've probably heard of cauliflower rice, but did you know that broccoli also works as a rice substitute? Just throw the broccoli florets into your food processor (or grate if you don't have one), then microwave, steam, or sauté the "rice" with olive oil for a light, low-carb rice alternative.
"Broccoli is filled with fiber, vitamin K and vitamin B6, which is great for decreasing your risk of diabetes and heart disease," explains Kaufman.
Spaghetti squash
By replacing white pasta with spaghetti squash "noodles," you can cut calories and load up on folate, potassium, and fiber.
"Cup for cup, you'll save almost 200 calories and over 30 grams of carbohydrates," says Sass. "Plus, spaghetti squash is a great source of immune-supporting vitamin A."
Not sure how to cook up spaghetti squash? Try tossing it with asparagus, rosemary, and pine nuts, or serve with a dollop of whole-milk ricotta and fresh herbs.

"Apple slices are a fun swap for bread on a peanut butter 'sandwich,'" says Wendy Bazilian, DrPH. Simply cut an apple into two thin, circular slices and spread each one with nut butter. Top the slices with healthy additions like dried cherries, pumpkin seeds, and cinnamon, then sandwich them together for a high-fiber snack.
Sweet potato toast
Next time you're craving a piece of toast, Middleberg Nutrition founder Stephanie Middleberg, RD, recommends opting for thinly-sliced sweet potato "toast" instead of bread.
"Sweet potatoes pack more fiber than whole wheat bread and are less processed," she explains. Also good: the fall veggie is a great source of potassium, vitamins A and C, and magnesium. Middleberg suggests cooking your "toast" with olive oil, pepper, and a little garlic, then topping with mashed avocado.

South Africa's New HIV Vaccine Trial Hopes to Be the 'Final Nail in the Coffin'
Posted: 28 Nov 2016 06:39 AM PST
(JOHANNESBURG) — A new vaccine against HIV, to be tested in a trial to be launched in South Africa Wednesday, could be "the final nail in the coffin" for the disease if it is successful, scientists say.
The study, called HVTN 702, aims to enroll 5,400 sexually active men and women aged between 18 and 35 at 15 sites across South Africa.
It will be the largest and most advanced HIV vaccine clinical trial to take place in South Africa, where more than 1,000 people a day are infected with HIV.
"If deployed alongside our current armory of proven HIV prevention tools, a safe and effective vaccine could be the final nail in the coffin for HIV," Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. government's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said in a statement released ahead of the trial.
"Even a moderately effective vaccine would significantly decrease the burden of HIV disease over time in countries and populations with high rates of HIV infection, such as South Africa," he said.
The vaccine being tested in HVTN 702 is based on a 2009 trial in Thailand, that was found to be 31.2 percent effective at preventing HIV infection over the 3.5 years of follow-up after the vaccination.
The new vaccine aims to provide greater and more sustained protection and has been adapted to the HIV subtype that predominates in southern Africa.
"HIV has taken a devastating toll in South Africa, but now we begin a scientific exploration that could hold great promise for our country,"said Glenda Gray, chief executive officer of the South African Medical Research Council.
"If an HIV vaccine were found to work in South Africa, it could dramatically alter the course of the pandemic."
Volunteers for the study, funded by NIAID, are being randomly assigned to receive either the vaccine regimen or a placebo. All participants will receive five injections over a year.
Participants who become infected with HIV in the community will be referred to local medical providers for care and treatment and will be counselled on how to reduce their risk of transmitting the virus.
South Africa has more than 6.8 million people living with HIV, but the country has had remarkable success in rolling out an HIV drug treatment program, which the government says is the largest in the world.
Life expectancy, which sank as the epidemic grew, has rebounded from 57.1 years in 2009 to 62.9 years in 2014.
Results of the vaccine study are expected in late 2020.

Welcome to the new Toto Silver Jewellery website
What we have collected here is a lovely group of jewellery all categorised for your ease of browsing ranging from earrings to pendants to necklaces as well as bangles.
Inside these main categories you will see smaller articles that we hope will catch your interest. For example, we have the pendant category and inside you can see a range of heart pendants with some information and details on the separate pieces that are available.
So, just what can you expect to find inside these pages? Well, I'm glad you asked because we have pages on a wide range of jewellery subjects and a sample are:
But that is not all because we've been busy and we've recently added more about our favourite topic – we've got pages as well on…
Currently, the latest page we added was the one for amber and I have to say that it was a pleasure to do this one. I must admit that I am a fan of the naturally precious stone because it has a certain warmth about it that a lot of other stones just don't have. When set in silver and complementing an already nice outfit it adds that certain something to the overall effect. As it's a natural material, no two pieces of amber are identical and there are a myriad of colours categorised (generally) into cognac (amber), green, cherry (a deep red) and also more unusual colours such as yell and a milky white colour.
Is there something else that you'd like us to write about? Then go to our contact us page and send in that request – or just say hello!
All in all, I hope you enjoy what you find here and if not, let us know and we shall do our best to find just what you want.

Remember the days of no cellphones?
For most of Rogers' 9.42 million wireless subscribers, it was a blast from the past when an outage shut down their voice and text services on Wednesday for several hours, starting around 6 p.m. (ET).
Customers took to Twitter and Facebook to broadcast their anger with the company, threatening to not pay their phone bills and potentially switch to rival Bell. (Caught in the crossfire was an innocent Twitter user from Brooklyn, N.Y., named Glenn Rogers, who's the owner of the Twitter handle @rogers.)
But with an outage comes a little bit of light-heartedness – after the matter, of course. Here are a few tales The Globe has compiled from the night that was.
Kylee Winn, 23, Toronto:
"I never really answer my phone to begin with, so when I came home yesterday I had a voice mail from the UPS saying I needed to call them to go get my package. I tried and my phone wouldn't work, I thought I didn't pay my bill. So I called and live chatted with Fido. I needed my package, which was a signed Backstreet Boys CD, which I waited two months for, and UPS said if I didn't call today, they would send it back."
Will Adams, 18, Burlington:
"I was texting this girl that I really like. I've liked her for a while and I think she finally liked me back. We were texting all day in class and right around 6 p.m., I jokingly made fun of her for something she said, but I got no reply. We had been texting all day with no time between replies, and all of the sudden I heard nothing for 10 minutes. I thought I made the biggest mistake of my life. I thought maybe she's just busy. But then I thought maybe she hates me because we aren't on a make-fun-of-each-other basis. Turns out Rogers was down and we just Facebook messaged for a while."
Michelle Homsy, 17, Markham:
"It was hell. I was on my way to meet my mom at the doctor's, and we couldn't get in touch. I was trying to call her, and she tried to call me, and we tried so hard to get in touch. Then I started panicking because I thought my phone was broken, so I started getting really mad at it. But honestly it was the worst when I couldn't text, because it was like, I need someone right now!"
Naomi Leanage, 21, Toronto:
"It came at such a horrible time for me. I needed to pick up my younger sister, and when I went to go get her I didn't know when to go. So I called and texted and it didn't work, so I left early and I had to waste an extra 20 minutes to get her home. She was freaking out because she couldn't contact me, call or text. She was blaming her phone and she was scared, worried and upset. Then when I told her it was the system, she kind of calmed down."
Glenn Rogers, 34, Brooklyn, N.Y.:
"I receive around 30 to 50 tweets a day from angry customers who think they're venting at Rogers Wireless. They also had an outage around five months ago which caused a similar, but not quite as large, surge in angry Canadians. From around 7 p.m. it [his phone] didn't stop vibrating until it eventually died around 9 p.m. It's nice to see most of them [the tweets] now are kind apologies! I eventually couldn't keep up. There's often some witty replies, people with a good sense of humour, and I like to respond to them when I can. But when it got into the thousands of tweets, all I could do was sit back and watch."Report Typo/Error

Howell Opera House

|Reference no.
The Howell Opera House is an opera house located in Howell, Michigan. The site is listed as historic by The Michigan State Historic Preservation Office.[2] It is also listed on The National Historic Register[3] as part of the Howell Downtown Historic District.
The Howell Opera House is a Victorian-style building with a seating capacity of 1,000 people.[4] Plans for the theater were drawn and executed by Detroit architect, Almon C. Varney at the cost of $10,000. Construction began in 1880 by Hunter and Holmes Contractors and doors were opened to patrons on December 30, 1881.[5] The building is located at 123 W. Grand River.
As the central part of the town, the edifice served not only for artistic performances but as a venue for several local occasions such as high school commencement. The theater also served, for a short duration, as home to the Livingston County Circuit Court in 1889.[4]
The Howell Opera House was first owned by the Stair Brothers, E.D. and Orin, who assumed ownership in 1884. The theater was later purchased by Arthur Garland in 1893 [5] who utilized a portion of the space to produce custom-tailored suits.
In 1923, the building was closed by the fire marshal.[4] This brought an end to its intended use as quarters for entertainment. For more than 70 years, The Howell Opera House served as storage for a local hardware store.
In 2000, The Livingston Arts Council purchased The Howell Opera House [4] with plans to restore the patronage to function, once again, as a theater. Renovations began in 2001 with a slow start due to lack of funding. In 2007, the first installment of the development plan had been completed.[6]
Renovations were made solely to the first floor. These renovations include refinished flooring and walls as well as new stairways.[7] Plans have also been made for restoration of the second floor which houses the stage and balcony.
The renovated first floor of the Opera House is now available to rent for special events such as weddings and parties.[8]

My Way or the Highway
I'm stranded on life's highway because I've gone astray
Because I did in my time, my thing, my way
But following only my feelings, fancies, and fantasies failed me,
And now disillusioned I see my road is in disorder and disarray;
I'm ashamed and dismayed at my display,
Of always falling prey to Satan's plays every day.
So now I pray.
For the revealing and the sealing
Of the demons that are stealing
My sanctified feeling.
For all the scars I'm concealing
I need heavy healing
Satan's keeps wheeling and dealing
For these sins keep appealing,
And sending me reeling and keeling
And keeps reeling me in for more.
Though I wish to soar
Instead I've hit bottom floor.
I'm lost at sea and need an oar,
That will take me to shore.
I'm at war with my core
And I have a losing score,
Though I roar that I've got more,
With my dirt poor soul sore
On my own I'm done for.
So today, I make my way,
To your throne to lay,
My shattered self and say,
"Mold me, master, just like clay,
To your will, that's all I pray!
Please shape me so that I may
Stand tall with faith and never sway,
Whenever Satan comes to play."
It's because of your death, that I now live today
So at last I will kneel, at last I will obey,
It's high time for my way to go hit the highway
For complete commitment, just to Thy Way.

By DAN KARELL
With four defenders gone from last year's squad, Chivas USA has inked their third new defensive signing in the last five days.
Chivas USA announced on Monday that they've signed defender Fejiro Okiomah to their squad for the upcoming season. Okiomah signs as a free agent and spent last season with the Charlotte Eagles of USL Pro, leading the club to the USL Pro final.
Per league and team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The 23-year-old Okiomah joins New Zealand international Tony Lochhead and Andrew Ribeiro as defensive signings in the last week. Chivas USA also traded for Andrew Jean-Baptiste in December. Defenders Mario de Luna, Jaime Frias Jr., Edgar Mejia, and Steven Purdy Ramos all left the club since the end of the 2013 MLS season.
What do you think of this news? Do you see Okiomah fitting into Chivas USA's starting lineup?
Share your thoughts below.
Great news! This kid was a great player for the Carolina Dynamo and a All-Conference at High Point University!
Dwyer in the photo.
I'm confused with Chivas USA. Have they completely abandoned their idea of fielding Mexican and
Mexican-American players? What is the point now if they are still called Chivas USA? Just re-brand will you.
The Imperative Voice
For whatever reason they do seem to be abandoning the racial approach. I'm not going to make fun of that because it's supposed to be what most of us want.
That being said, over their history they have gone back and forth with this a few times. The team appears to be more competitive when it's not closed off; there was a point under Bradley and Preki where it had some talent and bypassed LAG in the city superiority sweepstakes while the other team in town figured out how to win with Beckham and lobbied for rules changes.
But, the fact that the team has some positive history ignored by the critics doesn't fix the fact that "Chivas USA" was always a contradiction in terms, as much as Athletic Bilbao USA would be. Particularly with our roster rules how do you have a team whose premise is exclusivity, and the exclusive group is non-USA? You could call them Club America or any other Mexican brand but the idea of an exclusively Mexican brand playing in a US league that limits foreign players was Doomed From The Start. They can never be fully Latin here under our labor laws, discrimination laws, and league rules, but if they bring in Americans or others it's a compromise of the parent club's premise. Untenable.
I'm not a fan of re-branding for the heck of it, but trying to implement this concept here is rising to a legal level in terms of problems and the team's competitive and fanbase situations are teetering towards terminal.
That's funny, he doesn't look Mexican to me…
Dear Soccery By Ives,
Thank you for reminding me that Chivas USA is a thing. I now feel better as a New England Revolution fan.
Dear Adrian,
Thank you for reminding us that New England Revolution is a thing. Hard to tell when they play on a field with american football lines.
Ghost of JOB
Interesting to see the note about Tony Lochhead. I believe he played with Dan Kennedy at UCSB
The Imperative Voice
Lochhead has a nice CV from playing for NZ and being down in the A-League. But I recall the rap on him here was he was glacially slow. He appeared rarely for NER for three years and then left. This is not like Simon Elliott or we just signed Shane Smeltz or something.
He reminds me of his fellow Kiwi (taller mind you) Andrew Boyens, who somehow fooled a sequence of MLS teams into employing him, which was then re-enforced by NZ callups, except both sets of coaches were buying into a slow, scrawny mirage who couldn't defend to save his life.
IV, I gotta say, the fact that you have knowledge of A League player CV's – not to mention tracking the NZ national team, is humbling. While you're at it, if you can keep us updated on how the rest of the Guam roster is doing now that AJD has joined them, we'd all appreciate it.
The Imperative Voice
They used to show highlights and games on FSC, half hour show, not hard to keep up with the league. It interests me as a sort of incipient MLS with similar pay and roster rules, similar stadia, etc.
But Boyens, Elliott, and Lochhead have all played here so it's pretty much MLS knowledge. If the old MLS mock drafts from Lochhead's time exist on the net still, they'd say what I am saying. Anyone who saw Boyens play for NYRB would say he's slow too. Not every Kiwi is Simon Elliott, and there's a reason Mexico drubbed them.
For the umpteenth time, MLS is working inside the Chivas USA front office to help it sign players and build attendance.
Just listen to What the Flock" or follow @eastlachiva on twitter.
Chivas USA has a front office? Who'd have guessed?

Elder law attorneys and elder care lawyers deal with issues related to elderly and disabled people. They write wills, answer tax questions, and plan strategies for obtaining disability, Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare payments. Their services are useful for health and long-term care planning, as well as end-of-life planning decisions and instances of elder abuse. Elder law attorneys know what public and private resources may be available for your elderly relatives or for anyone else you know with special needs.
