Blue Fins Going West
They will have none other but themselves to blame, naturally, if this *ichthyological doomsday scenario comes to pass.
We are all very well aware that the world's food resources are dwindling and that the rapid increase of the world population is taking its toll on the fragile ecological balance that serves to keep us nourished and prevents us from going hungry.
According to an article in The Guardian in 2007, the prospects are not good if an overhaul of the current policies towards food production is not carried out.
John Vidal, The Guardian's environment editor, writes: "Supply will be further restricted if fish stocks continue to decline due to overfishing, and if soils become exhausted and erosion decreases the arable area."
What are we to do? Within the possibilities, exert further pressure by writing and raising awareness that it is all very much up to us to decide the fate of our scant food resources and do our utmost best to preserve and conserve what little we have of our arable land and fish stocks in our oceans.
Farewell Blue Fin Tuna!
And in France, see video below:

I may be mistaken but I thought I saw recently an article about what steps the European Union and other organizations were taking to stop this. And I thought Japan was working with them.ReplyDelete
This is similar when whaling was at its most modern peak: though we see how well that works - Japan is still one of the major whaling counties. Boo Japan!
Now, if we can start working towards a ban on shark fin soup. Blech!
J.P there will come a time when they will literally have to take stock of their mad chase and consumption of fishes and other sea-animals. Blech, indeed!ReplyDelete
Sushi is an increasingly rare treat for us, so far this year we haven't had it. It's important to be aware and to try act, but the best way to address a problem is to personally change habits.ReplyDelete
I loved sushi, but the only responsible thing to do was to turn it into a very special occasion dish (and it would be even more responsible not to eat it at all...which I'm working on).
Just saying, whereas it would be great for the Japanese to make substantial changes...when I first heard about the problems of sustainability, I knew I was a contributor to that problem, rather than to the solution. The best way to start solving a problem is to evaluate what we can personally do to help, I guess.
Now if the Japanese would follow suit, we'd really be getting somewhere.
Shimp, I get the impression that the videos hint at sustainability. Hopefully, that could be accomplished. You are right, too, individual, local, global. The way to go.ReplyDelete
Sustainability and diversity are the key to our survival, but trying to get other people to see that seems to be getting more difficult, not easier. I guess when there isn't anything left to eat or drink, people will get the message.ReplyDelete
The hard way, Kyle. Unfortunately.ReplyDelete

Boots issued to Stella Reid as part of her CFA uniform. Stella joined the CFA in 1997 to learn how to protect the wildlife, understand the local topography and fire behaviour. After Black Saturday Stella decided not to continue her active involvement with the CFA.
Stella recalled that: 'The boots were issued to us when you first joined CFA. They are issued to you because they are metal-toed, they support your ankles and they've got a good fire rating on them, so you can walk on hot coals with them. You shouldn't but you can. All firefighters are fitted with them, and they're very expensive.. that was my second pair since the CFA, ... I wore mine for months after the fires too. And the reason for that was, the bush was so hot, the ground was so hot, the ground was still burning months afterwards, and you could step into what looked like a flat piece of land, and disappear a good foot or two down, and there was red coals down there. ...So those boots became my lifeline, and I wore them, and loved them all the time. They actually now are not legal boots to wear, because since Black Saturday they now use boots which are much higher above the ankle, to protect you from stepping into big holes that are on fire. I think the fire rating's higher on them too. And they've got a zip on the front that doesn't allow the ash to drop inside the boot'.
Alan and Stella Reid live adjacent to the Kinglake National Park. They created 'Wildhaven' in 1998, as a refuge and rehabilitation centre specialising in kangaroos, wallabies and koalas. The Black Saturday bushfires destroyed everything on their property, all of the animals in their care were killed, and their home and other buildings were razed. Stella is a member of the St Andrews CFA and was on active duty during the day; she witnessed her home go up in flames from across the valley. Alan, who was at home when the fire struck was lucky to escape without injury. The fire killed twelve of their neighbours, the 40-50 animals in their care, hundreds of animals in the surrounding properties, and (according to their estimate) up to 90% of the wildlife in Kinglake National Park.
Physical Description
Pair of black ankle-high leather steel-toe boots. The boots have both a zip and laces to fasten them.
This item is part of a collection relating to the experiences of Alan and Stella Reid following the devastating impact of the Black Saturday bushfires. In particular it helps provide insights into the community response through the variety of gifts and donations provided to survivors of the bushfires and the ideas of the types of needs they represented.

Latos trade puts Reds in win-now mode

Yonder Alonso traded for Mat Latos

He was 14-10 in 2010 with a 2.92 ERA and 189 strikeouts. So the Reds add another starting pitcher to the … Continue reading

Published: 9th Nov 2012
The Northern Lincolnshire Broadband project is one step closer to becoming a reality after it passed a "government checkpoint".
All local internet programmes need to be assed by the authorities at various different stages to ensure they are being managed properly.
This particular initiative is aimed at bringing superfast broadband to 90 per cent of residents in north and north-east Lincolnshire.
It is on target to complete the formal tender process by next summer and work should start soon after.
There is an urgent need for faster web services across the county, as a study conducted by uSwitch this week (November 8th) showed Lincolnshire has three of the ten slowest broadband streets in the UK.
The worst performing zone in the entire country was found to be Cromarty Road in Stamford, where residents only receive an average download speed of just 0.132Mbps.
Neil Poole, cabinet member for policy and resources at North Lincolnshire Council, said: "The work we are doing now will bring superfast broadband speeds of at least 24Mbps by 2015 to 90 per cent of northern Lincolnshire, with others guaranteed at least 2Mbps."

OO* U$k3c hallos,, i'^pc, 759/1,5 '■'ornMFired CISD employee loses first round to TEA By DEBBIE DaLOACH Staff writer Lester Jonas lost round one with the Texas Education Agency Thursday in fighting his dismissal by Comal ISD trustees last year. Jonas was dismissed last September from his CISD duties as bus driver and security officer at Smithson Valley High School. No specifics on the dismissal were released to the Herald-Zeitung immediately following the board's decision, other than Jonas had violated school policy and was not entitled to a hearing because he was a non-certified em ployee. CISD attorney Lonnie Churm said Friday that Jonas' contention was that board members had made derogatory statements about his dismissal which were published in a KGNB-KNBT "Kable" newsletter the day after his dismissal. "The newsletter said that sources indicated a set of parents were alleging Jonas had bought their son alcohol and allowed him to spend the night in Jonas' trailer (on the SVHS campus) on at least one occasion," Churm said. "Jonas said those sources were board members, and that those statements were an infringement of his liberty interests." Jonas went to Austin Thursday, seeking to prove that principal issue before hearing officer Mark Robinett (also head of TEA's hearing and appeals division). Among the witnesses, Don Ferguson, a radio station newsman, was put on the stand and asked to identify his "sources." "Ferguson refused," Chunn said. "and Robinett ruled he wasn't required to reveal the sources, based on a federal district court decision, unless Jonas could show he was unable to obtain the information from another source, and that the information wasn't true. "Jonas has admitted the newsletter statements were true," the attorney added. "But he has also said there were extenuating circumstances that needed to be explained." Chunn said in presenting his case. Jonas never took the stand Thursday. When it came CISD's turn, Chunn made a motion to dismiss the case "We said there was no evidence the statements were made by board members, and even if they were — which we deny — the statements didn't constitute a liberty infringement. "Nor was Jonas able to prove he'd been harmed in See JONAS, Page WA A £l.nf«», Horald-Zeitung FRIDAY February 24,1984 25 Cents New Braunfels, Texas Volume 93 — No. 40 18 Pages - 2 Sections (USPS 377-880) Hydro project GBRA applies for state permit The paperwork has been filed, and now Guadalupe-Bianco River Authority officials are awaiting word on a hearing date on the Canyon I -ake hydroelectnc project.

Page 10AFiling pace slacks off The rush for New Braunfels City Council elections, has slowed to a standstill in the past week. In the smaller municipality of Garden Ridge, there hasn't been a rush at all. As of press time Friday, New Braunfels City Secretary Veronica Sarkozi hadn't had a filing since Feb. 15, when Michael Dieted and Robert Nohrn added their names to the list. Three candidates plunked down their fees on Feb. 6, the first day of the filing period. Dr Kenneth Joe Kuehler, a local dentist, was first in line, followed by retired resort owner Robert Henry and selfemployed designer Rolf Moore. By the end of that week, the field had grown to five, with contractor Esther Seidel and incumbent Councilmember Barbara Tieken filing Feb. IO. New Braunfels will elect three at-large council members on April 7, using a plurality vote. There are no numbered places Garden Ridge will hold elections April 7 for City Council places I, 4 ami 5. So far, incumbent Bobbie Landrum is unopposed for Place I. David Hencshel and Keith Richter, who now occupy places 4 and 5, have announced that they will run again. But so far. neither has filed. "But you know, a lot of people out here like to wait until the last possible minute," said acting City Secretary Betty McGranahan. The plurality-vote provision was part of the settlement of a lawsuit filed last fall by a group of local Mexican-Americans, represented by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund. Last April, New Braunfels voters approved a chance from seven at-large council seats to four single-member districts and three at-large seats. One af the districts has a predominantly Hispanic population. But the three at-large council members wore to be elected by numbered place and majority vita, and MALDEF charged that this system discriminated against minority voters. City Council and MALDEF settled on a 4-3 system with at-large msmhers elected by plurality vote.

An example included in the proposal was to increase the water rates from $4 to 86 base cost, and from 37 to 50 cents per I,UUU gallons above the 2,000 gallons included in the base costs But some questions raised at the workshop about rate design caused Sohn to lake another look, and he's still in that process Thursday .

"We want to take out as much as possible and still feel comfortable that what's left will meet our revenue requirements " Even so, the proposed water and sewer rate increases are inevitable To secure federal funds for the Kuehler Wastewater Treatment facility expansion, NBU was given a mandate to make the water and sewer departments pay for themselves For years, those departments have operated in the red, and have been subsidized through the electric department Sohn said Thursday the increases would appear agaui on an agenda "within the next couple of months '' -DEBBIE De LO ACH Cease-fire begins in Beirut BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — A cease-fire mediated by Saudi Arabia took effect on Lebanon's civil war fronts today. Two hours later, police and witnesses reported sporadic bursts of rocket-propelled grenades and machine gun fire in Beirut. Commands of various Shiite Moslem, Druse and Christian militias said their men were ordered to observe the cease-fire. Their statements came as police reported the first cease-fire violation and said contacts were being established to avert further infractions. The cease-fire, aimed at halting the fighting so Ubanon's political disputes can be negotiated, began on schedule at ll a.m. (4 a.m. EST). Police said 12 people were killed and 27 wounded in batties in Beirut and the Chouf mountains overnight. The cease-fire was announced Thursday night by Prince Bandar bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia after eight hours of meetings in Damascus, the Syrian capital. He said it does not address the political disputes between President Amin Gemayel and Syrian-backed Shiite Moslem and Druse insurgents.

Keith Allen Moore was being held in lieu of $50,000 bond, set by Justice of the Peace Harold Krueger. Moore was arrested at approximately ll p.m. Wednesday by a policeman on the way to investigate a reported robbery at 508 N. Union.

Chapter Ten [IV]
It was a slow start, as both teams had to reel in their anchors and catch the wind at the best angle, but soon the two pretty yachts were sailing merrily down the lake in company with cheers from the onlookers.
The wind was against them down the lake, and the more experienced half-French sisters soon had a good lead. But it was quite a long way, and they began to be careless in their steering, and Kristy caught up with Ophélie, though she did not pass her.
At Scholastika they duly took on board their two passengers each, Lindy and Serena for Ophélie and Sir Humphrey and Nathaniel for Kristy. Ultimately, Kristy had the more difficult challenge. Serena behaved herself admirably throughout the whole proceedings, whereas Nat happened to be constantly in the way underfoot, and always wanted to help where he would have done no good. Soon Dan completely lost his patience with his brother.
"Look, Nat, you're a kid and a passenger, and I'm captain on this ship. And if you don't sit quietly and behave yourself for the rest of this trip I personally will throw you overboard, and be glad of it, too!"
Nat gurgled. What a great adventure to be shouted at by his brother, and perhaps to be thrown overboard!
Daniel gritted his teeth and scooped up his brother, bundling him quickly into the cabin. Thirty seconds later, muffled screams from inside the locked cabin rippled the water around about. After an exasperating five minutes during which everything on the boat seemed to go wrong, the noise stopped, and Blaise saw through the darkened window that her brother was asleep. Sir Humphrey was permitted to stay on deck.
Presently Delia turned from her position at the rudder, where she liked to sit and watch and be.
"The wind's changed," she said. "I'm turning straight for Pertisau. The wind is just right. If we're quick the Ophélie won't have noticed till we've passed her, and then it'll be too late to build up her speed. Full steam ahead, Captain!"
She shifted the rudder, and Aoife and Dan held the ropes, or sheets, as sailors like to call them. Blaise, who was at the bow and hadn't been expecting the turn, gave a jerk before recovering herself.
Kristy lurched into action, and had gained a good speed in seconds. Soon she was sailing quicker than any of the Thimbles had sailed her before, and it was with a wonderful feeling that they cruised the lake. Everything passed as a kind of quick, deft dream. Sailing almost non-stop for several days had made them aware of everything that was going on onboard deck, and it all came together like a jigsaw, easy and ready-cut.
Captain Élodie of Ophélie, satisfied with the lead she had gained while everyone was fussing with Nathaniel, never looked back. Basilie at the rudder had passed into a dream, dabbling here and there and paying no attention to any wind changes, so she never noticed Kristy until the sleek white yacht was passing them with such ease that she could only stare and blink.
"Ahoy, Ophélie! Perfect day to sit and daydream in a yacht race, isn't it?" hollered naughty Blaise, her high red ponytail bouncing mischievously.
Basilie just gaped, and made no attempt to alter the position of her rudder till Élodie, who had been holding the ropes and a conversation with Lindy and Serena at the same time, looked up to the vision of Kristy racing along in front and neither of her sisters doing anything about it.
"Basilie! Didn't you see them?" she cried. Then, as Basilie continued to gawk, she said more to herself than to anyone else, "Well don't just sit there! Get on with it! There's no time to lose. You should have noticed the wind changing."
"Aye, aye, Captain," said Basilie in a dazed voice, moving her rudder quickly to its rightful angle of maximum velocity.

BeschreibungThe Azores-Tunisia region is formed by the western part of the plate boundary between Eurasia and Africa. This plate boundary presents a complex nature due to its proximity to the pole of rotation of the African plate. This condition produces crustal extensions and normal faulting at the Azores archipelago, transcurrent motion with strike slip faulting at the center part of the Azores-Gibraltar fault and at the eastern end, from the Gulf of Cadiz to Tunisia, plate convergence with reverse faulting. In this last part, the collision of Iberia with northern Morocco produces complex phenomena with intermediate depth and deep earthquakes and an extensional regime at the Alboran sea. Recently, new evidence has been gathered in this region based on observations from geology, geodesy, mainly through GPS measurements, seismology, especially with the installation of broad-band stations, and other fields of geophysics, such as paleomagnetism and gravimetry. This volume presents a collection of papers dealing with the geological and tectonic structure and evolution of the region and parts thereof, its seismicity and seismotectonic implications and geodetic and paleomagnetic observations which offer new understanding of the complex geodynamics of this region. The following four papers deal with the seismicity and seismotectonic of the region. Carrilho et al. present the first results of GEOALGAR, a project initiated in 2000 to monitor the seismic activity in the Algarve region (southern Portugal). In this paper results of the relocation of epicenters and determination of fault plane solutions are presented. The new epicentral locations show a more organized spatial distribution which could indicate a possible correlation with some known tectonic features. Fault plane solutions are predominantly of strike-slip motion consistent with a horizontal compression in the NW-SE to NNW-SSE direction. The paper by Yelles-Chaouche et al. presents a detailed study of the 22 December, 1999 earthquake at Ain Temouchent (northwest Algeria) of magnitude 5. 7. The earthquake caused serious damage in the town of Ain Teemouchent with 25 casualties and 25000 people left homeless. Intensity map, surface features and the focal mechanism, based on wave form analysis, are shown. The mechanism corresponds to reverse fault motion with planes striking NNE-SSW resulting from horizontal compression in the NW-SE direction. This corresponds to the general mechanism found for Algeria earthquakes. Buforn et al. present a study of the characteristics of the plate boundary between Africa and Iberia, from west of Cape San Vicente to Algeria, using seismicity and source mechanism data. The region is divided into three areas which manifest different characteristics.

When Your Heart Speaks
A/N: Please enjoy everyone! Read and review!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters of The Outsiders. Credit goes to my favorite author S.E. Hinton! I only own Jessika Thompson.
Prologue –
Tulsa, Oklahoma 1957
Moving day, I could remember it so clearly. My home, my friends, and my family I thought I was never going to see again. Even though I was eleven, Tulsa meant everything to me. I was born here and loved every inch of it; especially my neighborhood.
But the greatest part that I was going to miss was my friends.
The guys.
I remember having so much fun with them; getting into so much trouble everyday. We were just kids seeing what mischief we could cook up. Hah, mom never really liked me hanging out with them. What did she know? They were all my best friends.
Back then, my nickname was "Little Red" because I always used to wear a red bandana over my jet black hair. I was known for being a Tomboy; I was never too fond of all that girly junk. I always wanted to do what the other guys were doing! The day my mom told me we were moving was terrible. I asked her if she would let me stay here. But no matter what, she said that everyone had to go. With that, all of us was off to Semerah, Pennsylvania.

Dresses that hid Frida Kahlo's pain come to light decades on
By Manuel Carrillo
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The colorful dresses of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo will go on display for the first time in November after being kept hidden from public view for 50 years at the request of her husband, acclaimed muralist Diego Rivera.
Curators of the Kahlo's "Blue House" in Mexico City discovered a trove of 300 dresses, bathing suits, accessories and photographs in 2004 and are now ready to show the public 22 items from the unique wardrobe that turned her into a fashion muse.
The exhibit explores Kahlo's fascination with Mexico's indigenous women and her penchant for richly embroidered ethnic frocks, flowery headpieces and ornate silver jewelry that earned her a photo shoot with Vogue magazine in 1937.
It also reveals how she chose clothes to hide her disfigurement after a bout of childhood polio that left one leg thinner than the other and a devastating bus accident that broke her spine in three places and left her in constant pain and scarred from subsequent surgeries.
"We must remember that Frida - like Diego - wanted the colors, the dress, the culture of Mexican women to be public and known," said Carlos Phillips, head of the museums that exhibit Kahlo and Rivera's work.
"They were attempting to rescue a people which had been abandoned. Mexican society dressed like Europeans. Those types of clothes weren't appreciated as much anymore," he said.
Kahlo and Rivera are two of Mexico's most celebrated figures, and their on-off stormy marriage was among the most prominent of the 20th century art world.
Kahlo, who died from pneumonia in 1954 at age 47, led a troubled life fraught with illness and tumultuous love affairs. A member of the Mexican Communist Party, she was a fierce supporter of the country's traditional culture. Continued...

I stand gazing, admiringly, at the magnificently resplendent figure reflected in the mirror. Myself. Not that I am a narcissist, but I look unusually beautiful. There is a strange glow in my face, and sparkle in my eyes, and not from the lighting alone. I am shining brilliantly in the brightest moment of my life. I snap out of my self obsessed reverie as I become aware of the appreciative murmurs around me. All those who helped me get dressed for this most important day of my life stand around, mumbling in appreciative wonderment. I allow myself a small forbidden smile. After all, today I am allowed all liberties. A hush soon descends in the room. I turn around to see my mentor striding towards me, beaming with pride. He walks up to me, kisses my forehead and says "You are the brightest star tonight, the blessed one. No one is more beautiful than a ……. ".
The man who is to take me to the most important event of my life is waiting at the door. He is a senior diplomat, with a glorious past with the army, and now a close aide of the president. He is, I am proud to say quite a crucial catch. As I walk out to meet him, I see a look of wonderment, bordering on worship. I can almost hear him thanking lady luck for smiling down upon him, and making him the "chosen one" for me. I smile to myself, thinking how wrong he has it. I am the chosen one, not him.
As we drive down to the venue, he can hardly keep his eyes on the road. And as we reach, he finally regains his voice, to whisper a compliment in my ear. I smile, as he takes my hand, and leads me inside. His rank ensures that we are not delayed by cumbersome security measures, given the highly sensitive location. Just a few necessary checks and he brushes away the rest, eager to impress me tonight. As we walk in, many heads swivel in our direction, and I can sense his pride and sense of possessiveness growing with every step.
And then a sudden hush, as from the opposite end, descends the reason I am here today. The President himself, escorting his ever so elegant wife. They are the reason everyone is here at the presidential palace tonight, to celebrate the Sovereign Day of the state. They are the reason why so many high profile diplomats and ambassadors are gathered under one roof. They are the reason I am the "chosen one". Chosen to destroy them all.
I am a suicide bomber, walking on the path of self destruction to make this degenerate society aware of the will of god. I am a truly confident person, fearing nothing, bolstered by the words of my mentor "No one is more beautiful than a martyr, and no one is more complete. You my child are closer to god than ever before." These words flow along with my blood in my veins, versions of which were chanted to me since early childhood. They were my inspiration to pray for a chance, and I was now blessed, about to fulfill my rightful destiny.
My date, unaware of my intentions, totally mesmerized by my beauty, charm and wit, presses forward to greet the President. As he contemplates introducing me, he unwittingly takes me closer to my targets. As my moment of reckoning approaches, I can feel adrenaline pumping through my body like never before. I finger the strands of pearls around my neck, imbedded with explosives.
The Presidents turns with a broad smile to greet us, as I prepare to press the detonator in the clasp of my necklace….
I suddenly feel a hand tugging at my dress near my knee. My mind goes blank....did i press the trigger already?? Am i dead? No I cant be...I can still feel the tugging.
I look down into a pair of the bluest eyes ever.
The Presidents toddler daughter had escaped the nursery and her nanny, to meet her parents.
The child is beautiful, and she brings in her world of innocence into my world...of religion, of revenge, of violence. I look into her eyes, and see my lost childhood reflected in them. is that to be regained by robbing hers? my confidence is shattered, my action undecided...
But can I turn back now??

|Replication hangs
|Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:28:59 GMT
Hi, i am currently trying to set up a CouchDB cluster with three nodes each replication changes to the others. Basically this works just fine for a while with only a couple of changes per minute on every node. However at some point (a couple of hours) the replication processes just hang with status like "W Processed source update #12336" (as shown in Futon). Only solution to get this replication running again, is to restart the CouchDB. This happens not on all nodes. Usually it begins at one node and some time later the other nodes also have hanging replication processes. So the question is how stable is the replication supposed to be in a vice versa scenario having multiple changes and multiple replications coming in and going out at the same time. Is there a recommended way to have a multi master replicating environment? Thanks for any hints. Best regards Simon ps: I am using the 0.10.0 release with erlang R13B01 on Ubuntu Linux 64bit. -- Simon Eisenmann [ mailto:email@example.com ] [ struktur AG | Kronenstraße 22a | D-70173 Stuttgart ] [ T. +49.711.896656.0 | F.+49.711.89665610 ] [ http://www.struktur.de | mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com ]

Chapter 5Mature
I called Jordan and told him I was sorry after I finished my homework. He forgave me and told me he understood. We talked for a while and then we hung up. Then Mickey tried to call. I answered.
"What?" I asked.
"Are you still mad at me?"
"Hmmm... lemme think.... yes."
"Why? C'mon, sweetheart, tell me."
"Don't sweetheart me! You pretty much called me ugly. Why wouldn't Adam wanna do it with me? There must be a reason."
"I didn't mean to make it sound like that. I was just pissed I got paired with Jordan. And I was worried... that you would forget... me... I mean everyone if you started hanging out with Adam."
"Just like you and Amber?"
There was silence.
"For what?"
"I dunno."
"Okay... hey look, I'm sorry, too. You are definitely not ugly. You're very very very sexy. Okay?"
"Okay." I smiled.
"Hey, can I come over?"
"Sure, but be careful, everyone's home."
I held the phone close to my heart. I smiled biting my lip.
In about 10 minutes, I heard a knock on my balcony door.
I opened it and allowed Mickey in.
"Hey," he waved.
"Hey," I said.
He pulled me toward him and he hugged me. I embraced his hug. His hand was on my head.
"I hate it when we fight."
"Me too. Did you really mean it?"
"That I'm very very very sexy?"
Mickey let go. He looked away smiling.
"Yes," he whispered.
"What?" I said forcing him to say it louder.
"Yes!" he nearly shouted.
I smiled folding my arms.
"Mmm.. hmm..."
"Hey I saw you an Adam talking today," he said.
"Yeah. Does it bother you?"
"No... but he seems wrong... for you..."
"And who's right for me?"
"Um... Jordan?" he said jokingly.
"No way," I laughed, "But seriously... who is?"
"Um..." he said moving closer. Just then my mom called. Of course.
"Ah, crap. Um... stay here. "
"Where else would I go?"
I rolled my eyes smiling.
"Ah, yes, Melanie. Please come here."
"What?" I asked.
"Can you help me with this new art piece?"
I helped my mom and I ran back upstairs.
"What are you doing?"
I saw him reading my girl magazines.
"Staring at hot girls."
I took the magazine from his hands.
"Okay, Mickey, it's almost 11... you gotta go."
He kissed my cheek. His warm, soft lips touched half of my lip.
"Sorry," he said.
I shrugged and he climbed of the railing and went to his car and drove off.
Crap, I almost kissed my best friend.

Parks Canada said Friday the bodies of two American snowshoers reported missing earlier this week have been recovered near Lake Louise, Alta.
"The thoughts of all Parks Canada staff are with the family and friends of those involved," spokesperson Tania Peters said in a statement Friday afternoon.
Officials believe the man and woman, both 32 and from the Boston area, were caught in an avalanche while snowshoeing on Saturday, March 11 or Sunday, March 12.
Peters said the avalanche took place about 20 minutes north of the community of Lake Louise on the Icefields Parkway on the slopes of Mount Hector.

The pair was reported missing after they failed to check out of their accommodation in Field, B.C. They were last seen March 11, when they had breakfast at their hotel.
Parks Canada said the risk of avalanche was too high to send rescuers into the area until Friday at first light. The snowshoers were removed by 10:30 a.m.
Watch below from March 16: The avalanche danger was still too high to allow rescuers to look for two missing snowshoers from Boston. The pair were staying in Field, B.C. when they went missing north of Lake Louise. Bindu Suri has the latest.
RCMP said Wednesday the visitors' families had been notified.
Highway 93 North (Icefields Parkway) was closed Friday with a plan to reopen by Sunday afternoon.

Shortbread Lattes from Starbucks
Last week, the Starbucks stores in my neighborhood rolled out their holiday drinks – namely the gingerbread (yum!), peppermint mocha and eggnog lattes.

Batter Blaster

Hello, I am fairly new at editing PDF's so bear with me. I receive a PDF from a partner of my company, and I edit the PDF using 'PDF Editor 2.3'. Then I e-mail the finished PDF to a magazine for an advertisement. However, the advertisement dimensions are 4 5/8" x 4 7/8", and the PDF sent to me is 11" x 8". So when the first ad was printed in the ad space there was tons of space on the top and bottom of the ad. I have looked all over for how to change the dimensions of a pdf file to no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The present invention relates to a money storage device, system and method of operating a bank account and bank account.
In today's increasingly competitive banking environment simply providing high-quality banking services no longer guarantees customer loyalty. Customers will move their bank accounts to other providers in order to obtain improved service and/or various value-added features. However, evidence has also shown that when customers can be secured at a young age, there is at least a chance they will remain with a particular bank in future. Most major banks are currently trying to increase their profile, and number of account holders, amongst children.
While it is possible for a banking institution to provide accounts for children, there are a number of problems, particularly with very young children. Cognitive development tests have shown that children do not understand bank accounts until they obtain an understanding of quantities at about 8 years of age. Also, young children cannot generally be trusted with the means to access the bank's self-service network (i.e. a cash-withdrawal card) and so transactions have to occur within the branch. Not only is this very expensive (and often the transactions involve very small amounts) for the bank to provide but it will also increase congestion in the branches where older, more valuable customers may be frustrated by the delay caused by lengthy children's transactions. In addition, and perhaps most significantly, children do not wish to actually part with their money, even to a bank. As a child is unable to comprehend the concept of a bank account, he or she perceives that their money is being taken from them by the bank and will not be returned. Very young children may also find the bank branch boring, which will have a negative effect.
It is an object of the present invention to ameliorate the above disadvantages.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an educational banking apparatus comprising a compartment for storing money, input means to allow money to be deposited into apparatus and output means to allow money to be removed from the apparatus, characterized by balance determination means for determining the amount of money stored in the apparatus and communications means to allow transfer of balance information to a remote location.
Although an account is held at a bank, the customer retains their money at their home within the apparatus, so there is no pressure on bank branch facilities. Neither does the young customer have to actually part with their money. By provision of a communications link between the apparatus and the remote bank at which the account is held, up-to-date account balance information can be held by the bank and the customer can receive, and become familiar with, "adult" banking paraphernalia such as statements received by post. Typically, the savings apparatus will be linked to the bank's computer on a regular basis, such as weekly, so that the mailed statements are up to date but connection may take place as and when a statement is desired. Alternatively, communication may take place in response to deposits to or withdrawals from the apparatus.
The communication link with the bank's computer may be via a number of different channels, but access via the Internet is preferred. In certain countries, it is now possible to obtain a connection to the Internet via the electricity supply. In this case, therefore, a single connection to a mains socket will provide power for the savings apparatus and the data-link with the bank's computer.
The balance determination means is preferably in the form of a weight sensor but more sophisticated techniques such as coin sensors may additionally or alternatively be used.
The savings apparatus is preferably in a form which appeals to children such as in the form of the traditional piggy-bank. Another preferred arrangement is that of a plurality of cylindrical tubes sized to each denomination of the relevant currency. By making the tubes transparent the customer can see exactly how much of each denomination of coin he/she has.
Further functionality may be provided in the storage device such as an alarm clock, a bedside lamp, sound effects, visual display effects and even an audio synthesizer which may, for example, be arranged to deliver appropriate messages to the young customer such as the playing of Happy Birthday to the customer on the relevant day. These additional features are designed to appeal to the younger customer and so promote the apparatus and its primary function, i.e., saving money to a child.
From another aspect, the invention may be defined as a system for operating a bank account comprising a banking institution, a savings storage device for storing money at a customer's location remote from the banking institution and communication means for communicating account information between the storage device and the remote banking institution.
In this system, the functionality available to the customer can be divided between the bank's computer and the savings storage apparatus itself. For example, the savings storage apparatus could be substantially "dumb", the signals generating capability of the apparatus (i.e. playing a happy tune when money is inserted) being made via the link to the bank's computer. A message would be sent from the device in response to each withdrawal or deposit. At the other extreme, the storage device could be provided with almost all of the required intelligence and be programmed only to send a new balance to the bank's computer periodically. Any mixture of functions between these two extremes is possible.
Accordingly from a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of operating a bank account comprising providing the customer with a savings storage device to be kept at customer location remote from the account holding banking institution, communicating account balance information from the customer location to the banking institution over a communications network customer and sending the customer statements of account.
The account balance is preferably communicated to the banking institution at predetermined intervals but may also be communicated automatically in response to deposits to and withdrawals from the savings device.
The account is preferably opened for a child by a parent or guardian in the normal way.
Over time, if the account has been operated in a mature manner or other criteria have been met such as the balance reaching a certain value, the banking institution may wish to provide the customer with one or more further savings storage devices (a more sophisticated device or a family of devices) or other incentives so as to reward the customer. This motivates the child to operate the account in a mature manner and encourages saving of money.
Expressed in another way, the invention resides in bank account in which funds are stored at the customer's location. As discussed above, such a system has advantages for both the banking institution (i.e. no drain on branch facilities) and for the young customer (i.e. he or she can retain their money at home but still hold a bank account)
It should be understood that by customer location is meant at a location chosen by the customer rather than physically with the customer at all times.
In due course, provided that the account has been operated responsibly, the account may mature into a more traditional one in which the funds are actually stored by the bank. A number of increasingly sophisticated accounts may thus be provided as the child grows older. This ensures that he does not get bored with the bank and is more likely to remain faithful to it in the longer term.
Further features of the invention will be apparent from the following description, which is given by way of example, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 shows a first educational savings storage device embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 shows a block schematic diagram of the device of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows a flow chart illustrating the operation of the device of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 shows a family of devices of the type illustrated in FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 shows the device of FIG. 1, incorporating additional functionality;
FIG. 6 shows the device of FIG. 1 incorporating further functionality; and
FIG. 7 shows a second savings storage device embodying the present invention.
FIG. 1 shows a storage device 10 in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. The device 10 is constructed to resemble a traditional piggy-bank. The device includes a money entry slot 12 and a money exit slot 14. The device may be connected to both the mains and the Internet via lead 16 and plug 18. The eyes 20 of the pig comprise light emitting diodes (LEDs) and the device includes a sound synthesizer (not shown). When money 22 is inserted into the slot 12 the sound synthesizer issues a happy or cheerful sound, such as an "OINK!" sound. The LEDs 20 may also flash in response to this event. When money is removed from the device via the slot 14, the sound synthesizer makes an unhappy or upset sound, such as a squeal. This combination of audible and visual signals impresses upon a child that saving money is a good thing.
The device also includes means (not shown) for maintaining a balance of the coinage currently stored within the device. In a preferred embodiment, this information is transmitted to the bank weekly. This ensures that the balance stored at the bank is reasonably current but does not cause undue overload of the banking computer's I/O (input/output) facilities. More, or less, frequent communication with the bank's computer is, of course, possible.
FIG. 2 is a block schematic diagram of a device such as that shown in FIG. 1. A microprocessor 30 is connected to the following peripherals: a coin sensor 32, a read only memory (ROM) 34, a random access memory (RAM) 36 which retains at least some stored items when external power is removed, for example by having a battery back-up 38, a money dispensing circuit 40, a light controller 42, a sound circuit 44 and an input/output circuit (I/O) 46.
Means for measuring and dispensing cash are known, for example, from vending machine technology. As a potentially cheaper alternative, the device could be provided with a weight sensor to weigh the currency stored. When money is inserted the new weight minus the old weight (stored in RAM 36) gives the weight of the new coin whose value can then be determined. The opposite occurs in response to a withdrawal.
When a coin is inserted into the slot 12 (FIG. 1) the coin sensor 32 determines the value of the coin and transmits this to the microprocessor 30. The microprocessor reads the current balance from the RAM 36 and increases that balance by an amount corresponding to the value of the coin. The microprocessor also instructs the sound circuit 44 and the light controller 42 to provide positive, optimistic sounds and lighting effects respectively.
When it is desired to remove cash from the storage device the microprocessor activates the cash output circuit 40 which causes a coin or coins to issue from the slot 14 (FIG. 1). The microprocessor also instructs the sound circuit 44 and the light controller 42 to make negative, pessimistic sounds and lighting effects respectively. The light controller may generate patterns of lights, time-varying displays and even alter the color of the entire device. The light for the entire device could go out when the unit is devoid of money. The microprocessor reads the previous balance from the RAM 36 and reduces it by the value of the coin or coins dispensed. The microprocessor obtains its instructions from ROM 34 in known manner.
Internally, the device comprises a separate compartment for each denomination of coin. Entry to, and exit from these compartments may be by way of solenoid-controlled flaps or other suitable technique. In order to reduce the complexity of the device, it is preferred that the money storage and exit process occurs under gravity. This may necessitate the user re-orienting the device when inserting and/or recovering money.
In an alternative construction, the device contains a single compartment and weighing means. It determines the currency removed or inserted by means for the weight.
Periodically, either in response to a signal received via I/O circuit 46 or following a signal from an internal timer (not shown) the device will transmit the current balance stored in RAM 36 to the bank's computer via the I/O circuit 46. Again, any suitable communication technique/protocol may be used. The bank's computer increases or reduces the relevant balance in the same way as it would for a "normal" withdrawal or deposit communicated via electronic channels. The bank can then provide statements in the normal way. These are preferably provided in a more "friendly" format than is traditional. For example, the paper may be printed with a piggy logo, be piggy-shaped and/or be mailed in a piggy-shaped envelope. The bank can also provide the customer with a child-friendly folder in which to store the statements. The child will thus, hopefully, see their balance building up over time.
FIG. 3 shows a diagram of a method in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. The method starts at step S10 and then proceeds to step S12 where an account is opened for a child. Typically a parent or guardian will open the account on the child's behalf. At step S14 the child is given the device and is instructed on how to use it. The child may also be given a folder in which to store statements. At step S16 the device determines whether money is being inserted. If yes, processing proceeds to step S18 at which the balance in the RAM (36, FIG. 2) is updated. Processing proceeds to step S20 at which the audio/visual consequences of a money deposit are activated and processing returns to step S16. Where money is not being inserted processing proceeds to step S22 where the device determines whether a money withdrawal is desired. If yes, then processing proceeds to step S24 at which money is dispensed and the balance in the RAM is updated. Processing then proceeds to step S26 at which the audio/visual consequences of a cash withdrawal are provided. Processing then returns to step S16. Where money is not being withdrawn at step S22, processing proceeds to step S28 where the unit determines whether a signal has been sent by the bank requesting a balance update. If not, then processing returns to step S16. If a balance update has been requested at step S28 then processing proceeds to step S30 where the device sends details of current balance to the banking institution. Processing then proceeds to step S32 at which the bank determines whether a statement is required. If yes, then processing proceeds to step S34 where a statement is printed and mailed. Processing then returns to step S16. If the bank determines, at step S32, that the statement is not required then processing returns to step S16, omitting step S34. The series of steps between S16 and S28 thus continues for all of the time that the device is operational.
Further savings incentives may be provided to the child. For example, attainment of a predetermined balance (such as $100) could result in the child receiving a larger device or an additional device. The additional device may be linked electronically to the first device and, preferably, results in a matching set, for example a daddy and mummy pig.
FIG. 4 shows a first piggy storage device 10 connected electronically at 50 to another such device 52. In this example, the additional storage device 52 is styled as a baby pig.
FIG. 5 shows a storage device of the type shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 with additional functionality, including a clock which displays the time at reference 54. The device also includes a lamp which may provide light either for reading and/or a somewhat dimmer light for use as a night-light. A user whose hand is shown at 56 may adjust the intensity of the light using any known technique. Preferably, however, the intensity of the light is adjusted by stroking the back of the pig. Stroking the pig in a first direction increases the light intensity, while stroking the pig in the opposite direction decreases the light intensity.
FIG. 6 shows a device 10 which is singing Happy Birthday to its owner. This may be triggered by an internally-maintained calendar (not shown) or by an electronic message received via I/O 46 (FIG. 2) from the bank's computer (which will normally have access to a database which includes the child's birth-date). FIG. 6 also shows a postcard 60 which has automatically been mailed by the bank's computer a few days before the child's birthday, Christmas and so on. The card is a friendly shape, for example piggy-shaped to match the storage device 10.
FIG. 7 shows an alternative embodiment 70 of the storage device 10. The storage device 70 includes a number of vertical tubes 72, 74, 76, 78, 80. These five tubes have an internal diameter corresponding broadly to the external diameter of five denominations of coin. The coins C are visible through the transparent walls of the tubes. The child can thus physically count his money without actually removing it from the storage device 70. The device 70 has two main advantages over the device 10 previously described. Firstly, the child has to place the coins in the relevant tubes, thus helping to teach them the difference between coins having different values. Secondly, because the insertion of the coins into the relevant tubes is done by the user, there is no need for the coin distinguishing sensor (32, FIG. 2) which is required in a device having only one input slot. Money-sensing can be by way of a weighing device as described above.

BRISTOL, Va., Feb. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. (NYSE: ANR), today announced that the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of West Virginia (USAO SDWV) has closed the Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) the company entered into on Dec. 6, 2011. On April 5, 2010, an explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine (UBB), operated by a subsidiary of Massey Energy Co., claimed the lives of 29 miners. Alpha Natural Resources acquired Massey Energy more than a year later, in June 2011, and six months later entered into the agreement with the USAO SDWV related to its investigation of the accident. "We are pleased that the U.S. Attorney determined that Alpha has met or exceeded its obligations under the NPA," said Alpha Executive Vice President and General Counsel Vaughn Groves. "Throughout this process, we remained committed to responsibly addressing the UBB tragedy and resolving Massey's liabilities, while implementing safety measures, training and research that will make our industry safer for miners not just today, but well into the future. We focused on strengthening our safety culture so that the results of this NPA will be positive and permanent. We appreciate the trust that U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin and his office had in Alpha to enter into the NPA and we believe that the substantial safety achievements that Alpha has made these past two years have justified that trust. " The steps taken by Alpha to meet, and in many cases exceed, the obligations of the NPA include:

My name is Em and (as the title suggests) I make patterns. I also drink tea (a lot of it).
I am based in Sydney, Australia, where I have recently started a business, making women's sewing patterns. It is a huge amount of work, but I just love doing what I love every single day.
I have a bachelor in Fashion and Textiles from the University of Technology, Sydney, where I graduated in 2011.
After university I lived in London for a few years, where I stumbled up on the incredible online sewing community (which I had somehow missed, up until then) honed my pattern making skills, and found myself a lovely Spanish man.
Feel free to take full advantage of all this site has to offer. Follow my tutorials, hack and customise my patterns and share them with your friends.
You can find more tutorials on my other site.
