Vedic astrology provides different remedies to lessen negative impact of Nakshatras if you are born in any inauspicious Yoga formed at the time of birth such as Gandmoola, Gandant or Abhuktmoola. Similarly, you should use the remedies for the planets that create problems for you during their transit. These remedies can help pacify and increase auspiciousness of planets. Here, we will discuss some remedies for the bad influence of Sun.
Offerings to Sun
You should wake up early in the morning and offer water to Sun after taking a bath regularly to protect yourself from negative impact of Sun. You can donate its related products and can chant Mantra or can do Yajna for Sun's auspiciousness. You can also wash products for the planet with water. You can perform any one of these remedies to bring peace and to remove malefic influence of the planet during its transit.
Bathe Using the Products Related to Mars
If Sun is inauspicious during its transit then you should mix poppy, red flowers or saffron in the bathing water because they are the products for Sun. This remedy protects you from malefic influence of the planet as well as it develops strength in the body to fight against diseases. If you perform these remedies, it is also good for your father's health. By taking a bath from products related to Sun, the qualities of products enter your body.
Donate Products of Sun
You can protect yourself from negative impact of Sun by donating its products. Its products are copper, jaggery, wheat and lentil dal. You can donate these products on Sunday or on the Sun's Sakranti. You can also donate products of the planet on the Solar eclipse to get beneficial results.
You can donate all these products at the same time. The amount of donation can vary depending on your capability. Buy these products using your own earned money. In case you are not able to buy, you can take help of any other family member or relative for donation but you should be faithful towards the god Sun to reap the benefits.
Chanting the Mantra
You can chant Mantras of Sun to bring peace. You can chant "Om Ghrani: Surya Aditya:" Mantra regularly. You get better results if you chant it on Sunday. You can chant this Mantra 10, 20, 108 or more than 108 times as per your capability. You can recite this Mantra during Yajna too to get favorable results.
You should always keep clean while chanting. You should concentrate on your chanting and meditate the god Sun to reap good results. Never leave the chanting incomplete if you want to have good results.
Making Sun's Yantra
Take a papyrus and draw a box, and divide it into nine parts. After this, write numbers in partitions as described below:
Write 6, 1, 8 in the first three partitions; 7, 5, 3 in the next three partitions and 2, 9, 4 in the last three partitions. If we add numbers of each of the three partitions then the sum will be 15. You should write these numbers in the appropriate boxes.
Inscribe these boxes on a copper sheet or you can make it on your own by red sandalwood, saffron and musk on the papyrus. Use of pomegranate quill in the making of these boxes will be beneficial. You can use these materials to make Yantra of all the planets. The Yantra of Sun is:
Yajna for Sun
The above-mentioned Mantra can be used in the Yajna of Sun. You can take help of a priest to perform Yajna.
Sun is the Kaarak planet of your health and your father. We should perform suitable remedies for the malefic effects of the planet when it is afflicted by Rahu and Ketu. In addition, when Sun aspects the sixth lord or seventh lord and afflicted it during its transit then these remedies can reduce problems of the person and will bless him with the prosperous life.

KPFA Local Station Board election nears tally
KPFA EVENING NEWS, 12.01.2012: The KPFA Local Station Board election is now in its final days by mail. Ballots must be received at the address on the return envelopes by December 11th to be counted. Pacifica National Elections Supervisor Steve Bouricius spoke to KPFA about the Single Transferable Voting variant of Ranked Choice Voting that will determine the results.

This reporter doesn't even get the name of her interviewee right. Like so much published here, it claims not to be partisan but is.
Sunday Dec 2nd, 2012 3:44 PM
Thanks to Ann Garrison for this report, which correctly lists the Pacifica National Election Supervisor as Terry Bouricius.
Sunday Dec 2nd, 2012 3:47 PM
Unlike some KPFA shows that actually have pretended to be non-partisan but are either blatantly partisan or slyly so, this short report simply says "please get your vote in soon" and tries to help voters understand the proportional representational system in a very few words. Well-done, Ann.
Wednesday Dec 5th, 2012 8:26 PM
@Dignacio: The Pacifica National Elections Supervisor's last name is indeed Bouricius. Pardon me for the typo that left an extra letter "i" after the second "o" in his last name. I just sent a note to Indybay to ask if they could correct it. I'll be grateful if Indybay is ever able to add an edit function like that available on a few other Indymedia sites.
The script of this report, with the name spelled correctly is available at this link on my own website: http://www.anngarrison.com/audio/kpfa-local-station-board-election-nears-tally.
Could you explain what you consider partisan about this? Neither the United for Community Radio-Support KPFA nor the Save KPFA slate is even mentioned. I could not have gotten it past Saturday News Anchor David Rosenberg had it been partisan, and I'm sure I would have been otherwise called to task by management.
And how would you have reported this?
In an earlier version, I attempted to explain how single transferable voting works, but no one thought that would be understood on the air, especially in a three-minute news story, so I just explained that its goal is proportional representation.
Thursday Dec 6th, 2012 10:50 AM
Thanks to Indybay staff for the edit. Both spellings appear on the Web. On air, I was most concerned with getting the sound correctly. Terry told me it sounded like "facetious" with consonant variations.

Ke$ha: Pitbull tour so random
Ke$ha discusses how she and rapper Pitbull decided to book a 20-date concert tour together and confesses the decision came about in an unpredictable fashion.
The Tik Tok hitmaker is joining forces with the I Know You Want Me rapper for a trek across the US and Canada.
The pair will launch the 20-date tour in Boston, Massachusetts on May 23 and wrap it up on June 28 in Tampa, Florida.
Ke$ha recalls how the unlikely tour mates decided to travel together.
"One day, [Pitbull and I] were backstage, drinking tequila, kind of f**king around, and we're talking hypotheticals 'We should go on tour together; I'll sing a song in Spanish, how about that?' And he said 'Okay,'" she told MTV News. "And then, like a month later, it happened in real life ... so, how's it going to work? I have no f**king idea! But is it going to be fun? Yeah. F**k yeah."
Ke$ha has a deep affinity for her good friend Pitbull.
After getting to know him, she recognises how much they have in common.
"I think that the reason I decided to tour with Pitbull is because we've worked together, and the first time we met, we had a very cool thing happening, but I was like 'Aw, I'll never see him again.' And then I kept on seeing him!" she said. "And the more we saw each other, the more we got along, and I realised that actually, we're incredibly similar; he just likes to have a good time and he's a super positive person, and I'm a really positive person who likes to get weird and wild."

Liberia's ex-President Charles Taylor has been sentenced to 50 years in jail by a UN-backed war
crimes court. Last month Taylor was found guilty of aiding and abetting rebels in Sierra Leone during the 1991-2002 civil war.
The prosecution at the Special Court for Sierra Leone wanted an 80-year prison term, which the defence said was excessive. Taylor, 64, insists he is innocent and is likely to appeal against the sentence, correspondents say. The appeal process could last up to six months, the BBC's Anna Holligan in The Hague reports.

Today the Energy Community Ministerial Council adopted the list of 35 "Projects of Energy Community Interest" (PECIs). Fourteen electricity generation, nine electricity infrastructure, ten gas infrastructure and two oil infrastructure projects were selected due to their importance for the development of cross-border energy markets in the region*. The projects will benefit from investment incentives and enhanced regulatory conditions. "I welcome the endorsement of the PECIs list by the Ministerial Council today. The PECI label will help to attract much needed investment into the region – almost 40 billion EUR is required until 2020. However, the lack of progress on achieving effective market opening and the regional integration of energy markets is worrying. The implementation of the Third Energy Package, as an imperative tool to reach these objectives, must become a key priority", said Mr Günther Oettinger, European Commissioner for Energy.
The Ministers decided to extend the duration of the Energy Community Treaty for a period of ten years. They also established a High Level Reflection Group tasked to assess the shortcomings of the current treaty and make proposals for improvement. Former President of the European Parliament and Prime Minister of Poland, Mr Jerzy Buzek, was appointed as its chairman. The group is to report to the Ministerial Council in autumn 2014. "The Energy Community has proven to be an effective framework for regional cooperation in the energy field and it is clear that its role will be at least, but likely even more, important in the coming years as the Contracting Parties focus on the practical implementation of their commitments under the Energy Community Treaty. This is why the Energy Community requires stronger institutions and instruments to successfully achieve the goals set out in the Treaty. The creation of the High Level Reflection Group is a key step forward in this respect. I further express my satisfaction with the appointment of Mr Jerzy Buzek," said H.E. Mrs Zorana Mihajlović, Minister of Energy, Development and Environmental Protection on behalf of Serbia as the Presidency in office of the Energy Community.
The Ministers also took two important decisions aimed at further limiting emissions from large combustion plants. Given the large scale of investment required to retrofit existing combustion plants, the Ministers decided to provide the option to apply during a transitional period flexibility instruments for the implementation of the Large Combustion Plants Directive that would facilitate its implementation in the Energy Community without reducing its level of ambition. At the same time, they agreed to implement more ambitious environmental goals of the Industrial Emissions Directive from 2018 onwards for any new investments carried out in the region.
In the first ever dispute settlement case before the Ministerial Council, the Ministers established a breach of Energy Community law by Bosnia and Herzegovina related to its legal framework in the gas sector. The Ministers called on the country to rectify the breach no later than June 2014 and warned that the failure to do so would be considered a serious and persistent breach of the Treaty. In this case, Ministers asked the Secretariat to launch the required proceedings against Bosnia and Herzegovina as envisaged in the Treaty.
* The projects were selected based on a cost benefit analysis methodology, following an extensive public consultation. If a project breaches the Energy Community acquis or national legislation, or an environmental impact assessment has not been performed properly, the PECI label may be removed.

Telephones (Cisco VoIP)
Enrolling Your New Voicemail Account:
Step 1 – Press the messages button on your telephone or call the Voicemail direct
number for your city.
- Anchorage 907-865-1999
- Fairbanks 907-328-6799
- Juneau 907-523-8799
NOTE: If you do not have a messages button on your phone, but want to set up and access your voicemail from your phone, dial the internal voicemail number for your city and enter the default password of 12345 when prompted.
To reach voicemail if you do not have a messages button:
- Anchorage 110-2997
- Fairbanks 120-2997
- Juneau 110-2997
Step 2 –If you called the voicemail direct number, you will be prompted for your
mailbox number. You will then be prompted for a password. Since this is initial
enrollment, enter the default password of 12345. If you pressed the messages button
on your phone, you will just be prompted for a password. Again, since this is initial
enrollment, enter the default password of 12345.
Unity will walk you through enrollment by explaining each option and then allowing you
to make the changes. Whenever you are asked to record something, please use the
handset to minimize background noise and use the # key to stop the recording.
Step 3 – You will be prompted to record your name. Follow the instructions to record
your first and last name. Remember to use the # key when you are finished recording
your name.
Step 4 – You will be prompted next to record a greeting. This is the message that callers
will hear when they are in your voicemail. Don't forget to use the # key when you are
finished recording the message.
Step 5 – You will be prompted to enter a password. The password can be the same thing
you are using now or something new. The only requirement is that it should be at least 4
digits in length.
Step 6 – You will be prompted to say yes or no to being listed in the directory. Saying
yes (which is the default) will allow people to find you by name instead of needing to
know your extension number. If you say no, you will not be listed in the voicemail dial
by name directory.
Step 7 –After Unity tells you that enrollment is complete, you may hang up. Please wait
until it tells you that enrollment is complete to make sure it has saved all of your choices.
Otherwise, it may prompt you for enrollment the next time you try to access voicemail.

Attacks on Jews have increased in five European Union countries in the past two years - many of them the work of white males, a report has found.
The study by the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) contrasted with the findings of research in Berlin last year, which concluded that young Arabs and Muslims were mainly responsible for rising anti-Semitism.
The EUMC study cited incidents in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Britain and Germany, and reported: "Although it is not easy to generalise, the largest group of perpetrators . . . appears to be young, disaffected white Europeans.
"A further source of anti-Semitism . . . was young Muslims of North African or Asian extraction. Traditionally anti-Semitic groups on the extreme right played a part in stirring opinion."
By far the biggest rise in anti-Semitic violence was in France, where there were six incidents in 2002 for every one in 2001.
"There were many incidents of Jewish people assaulted and insulted, attacks against synagogues, cemeteries and other Jewish property, and arson against a Jewish school," the report said.
Statistics for Britain suggested a recent increase in physical and verbal attacks against Jews. There were 350 reported anti-Semitic incidents in 2002, including assault, arson, and the desecration of gravestones - a 13 per cent rise from the previous year. No "extreme violence" was recorded.
The worst incident involved 40 young men shouting racial abuse and punching and kicking four Jewish boys in Hertfordshire, north of London.
The question of who perpetrates such attacks remains highly sensitive, following uproar over suggestions that the Berlin Technical University report was initially suppressed by the EUMC because it blamed Muslim immigrants and pro-Palestinian groups angered by Israeli policy in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The 344-page document, released to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, took a more cautious approach.
"In general, on the basis of available data and looking at the EU as a whole, it is problematic to make general statements with regard to the perpetrators of anti-Semitic acts," it said.
The report urged EU governments to co-operate more closely in the fight against racism and suggested that textbooks should be checked for bias and teachers trained to heighten awareness of cultural and religious differences.

April 15, 2011
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan men's tennis head coach Bruce Berque announced the signing of Michael Zhu (Princeton, N.J./Keystone National) to a National Letter of Intent on Friday (April 15), officially joining current signees Alex Petrone (Staten Island, N.Y./Laurel Springs Prep) and Eli Brown (Toronto, Ontario/City Academy) in the 2011-12 recruiting class.
"We are all thrilled that Michael will be joining us at Michigan next year," Berque said. "Michael is a very gifted player, with natural ball-striking ability, and I am certain that he will be a great asset to our team throughout his career at Michigan. His work ethic, passion for the game, and personal character are a perfect fit with the culture we are fortunate to have in place in our tennis program.
"Along with our earlier signings of Eli Brown and Alex Petrone, we are confident that this recruiting class will have a significant impact on our goal to elevate U-M to the highest levels of collegiate tennis."
Zhu (pronounced "JOO"), hails from Princeton, N.J., and will graduate from Keystone National High School. He is rated as a blue-chip recruit, and was ranked as high as No. 15 by the recruiting service tennisrecruiting.net. Zhu is ranked No. 110 in the ITF Juniors and has played in many international competitions. In 2010, Zhu qualified for the U.S. Open Juniors, and reached the singles quarterfinals of the Easter Bowl, the Uruguay Bowl and the Costa Rica Bowl. Additionally, Zhu won the doubles title at the Costa Rica Bowl and reached the semifinals of the Easter Bowl and Uruguay Bowl. In 2009, Zhu made the finals of the International Grass Court Championships and the round of 16 at the Canadian Open Junior Championships.
Michigan loses three seniors -- Jason Jung (Torrance, Calif./West Torrance), Chris Madden (Lotus, Calif./Ponderosa) and Duncan Muil (Lake Jackson, Texas/The Kings School) -- to graduation at the end of the season.
Michigan Inks Petrone, Brown for 2011-12 (Nov. 12, 2010)

Fukushima Workers Discover Deadly Spike in Radiation
Posted on Sep 1, 2013
Workers at the Fukushima nuclear power disaster site have made an uncomfortable discovery: radiation levels 18 times higher than anticipated at the bottom of a holding tank. The levels are high enough to kill a person within four hours.
So far, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), the private firm that operates the shuttered and shattered facility, says the compound hasn't leaked from the storage tank. But a similar tank already leaked 300 tons of contaminated water, most likely into the Pacific Ocean, and other radiation flows continue through groundwater seepage.
Most troubling: Tepco says it doesn't know why that radiation spike occurred, an admission not likely to engender much confidence in the firm, already under fire for misstatements, incomplete reports and a general sense that it is ill-equipped to control the persistent problems that began when a tsunami blasted through the site in March 2011.
Judging by this report in The Guardian, being a site worker at Fukushima has to be one of the most dangerous jobs around:
The new radiation spike was measured at 1,800 millisieverts an hour—36 times the annual exposure Japanese regulators says workers can endure.
And lower levels of radiation continue to seep into the sea as the world's second-worst nuclear disaster—after Chernobyl—continues unabated.

Tacoma City Councilman Ryan Mello was arrested by a Washington State Trooper Saturday night for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol after he reportedly failed field sobriety test, according to a report on MYNWNews.com and picked up by the New Takoman.
Mello was elected to the Tacoma City Council in 2011 and represents an at-large position.
Mello attended the University of Puget Sound, where he earned a degree in Politics and Government. Ryan has also served as a chief of staff for State Rep. Hans Dunshee and before that as an AmeriCorps volunteer implementing the Youth United program at the United Way of Pierce County.
He currently works as the executive director for the Pierce Conservation District. His term on the council expires in 2015.

Paint and work racks
I was out back using one of my racks the other day and thought I would toss out there the ideas behind the racks I have. First off, around the body shops across America you will see a zillion of these folding racks.
They work pretty awesome and are super convenient being they fold up and take very little space when not in use.
They come with padding on the top and you can get a sling that goes across too. The one thing good about them that the sling kills is this, you can't cover it with crap like your work bench. :D Really, how many of us will do this, I know I do, I put stuff on the bench and next thing you know it's covered and there is no place to work. With these folding racks you put larger things on them to assemble, to paint, to cut, to disassemble. It doesn't get covered with tools and soda cans thus always there to use for it's proper purpose.
The bad thing is they do fold up which limits what you can do with them. One day I needed a stand that I could more solidly mount something to work on like sanding filler on a small piece. So I made up these cube stands. I have a great metal supply place where I was able to order 16 pieces of 1/8" thick 1 inch angle iron 36 inches long. I brought them back to the shop and quickly welded them up into these cubes. One of the cubes you will see isn't 36" wide but only 24 I think. I simply bought 12x36" long and 4x24" long.
You can see a couple pieces of pipe welded to the narrower one with washers welded to the ends. I welded this stuff on to bolt something (that something I can't remember for the life of me) to it for painting and sanding. I think it may have been a vintage Harley tank and oil bag but can't remember for sure. Anyway, the other one I had welded on it (small pieces remain) of 3/8" rod with studs at the top to put some Harley fenders on it.
These buggers work darn nice, you can lay a creeper across them for a portable bench to spread out nuts and bolts or something.
Anyway, any of you use something to toss out there?
OH Boy Brian...I love this stuff...a little over 20 years ago I was living in Northern Alberta and was a rural paint rep, I looked after the body Shops in Northern Alberta right up to the North West Territories..(Yes, I have tee'd off at a golf tournament at midnight on June 21st. in High Level Alberta). I was driving by a Hospital one day and I saw the Hospital guy was throwing out hospital gurney's...I looked at them and asked how many they had and if I could buy them...The guy told me that they had just over 100 that they where getting rid of...I said, seeing your throwing them out, how about I give you $10 each...He jumped at it. When they where folded down, I could load about 10 in my 1/2 ton at a time...I went from shop to shop and sold these Hospital gurney's for $175 each as truck box bed movers...they had the nice big wheels on them so if you took the gurney outside with a box on it it wouldn't get stuck in the gravel...I sold out in less than a week, some shops bought 3 of them...They worked so well, they even had the piece where the head of the bed could be angled up or down, the height was adjustable and darn heavy duty...Made about $20K clear in less than 10 days. I still have several I kept for myself, talk about a portable parts bench.
yesterday I was waiting for a hood and the painter said the stand created an outie and he had to re paint it. So I go to get it today and noticed it was the same stand I saw on line. Here's the ad I saw, it's the same stand.
auto painting stand
Anyhow, this $300 stand was bought for the old painter and he didn't try to use it at all, so the new painter found it in the corner of the paint shop, put it together, and says it's a pretty cool stand.
Shu, for $300 I think I'd rather take Martin's route and make my own, but I must say, I like the fact you can spray a hood front to back in one paint application.
Those are very good stands, we have about six or seven of them at work and they are used every single day.
The problem with the store bought racks is this. One doesn't help you. When you are building a car, you have at least 2 doors, hood, and deck lid. At best you need 4 of them so 350 dollars becomes 1400. i can't justify that to build a car every 4-5 years. My ceiling is low enough I usually hang them.
I think the biggest regret for most of us who do this for a hobby is not being able to justify first class equipment.
More so now that I am an old guy and going to die soon. :D
Those folding racks by the way are available for a LOT less than $350 now! Even the Matco Tool truck had them for about $50 the other day. But a bunch of guys in the shop bought some from another vendor the other day for only $25 each!
And even the other ones have a lot of compitition so the price is way down. Here is one for $159
I made my own. Go to the hardware store, get some 3/4 metal conduit, borrow a bender for electrical conduit, and bend your own. Drill and bolt them together, get some eye hooks for chains (you can make the chains adjustable for different widths). Get some pipe insulation to wrap on the top and your done. Some of the prices given seem cheap to me. Another plus is you built them yourself, good fun.

Blueberry Anthocyanins Boost BDNF for Brain Health
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is essentially the fountain of youth for brain health and plasticity, helping to promote new nerve connections associated with healthy cognitive function. A new study proves that it is the anthocyanins of blueberry that are one very powerful way to boost BDNF levels.
This research was done with animals and shows that 6 weeks of anthocyanin supplementation in old rats improved their spatial memory function. It did this in direct correlation to elevation of brain levels of BDNF in the hippocampus region of the brain which is responsible for memory.
It is well known that the conversion of data in recent short-term memory into long-term memory is regulated at the molecular level in neurons and requires the synthesis of new proteins that help nerve growth and connectivity. The synaptic plasticity of both short and long term neurons have recently been proven to require BDNF for optimal function.
Aerobic exercise is a healthy way to help boost BDNF. Various flavonoid nutrients have been shown to help BDNF. As I pointed out earlier in the week, tangeretin and nobiletin are two citrus flavonoids that can help. There are others. The current study demonstrates that blueberries are quite powerful at boosting BDNF.
I have been reporting for some time on the benefits of blueberries for brain health, via multiple mechanisms. This latest study adds to an impressive body of science on the topic of blueberries and brain health.

Michigan played a No. 1 team for the 16th time in school history. The Wolverines have never defeated a top-ranked opponent.
The match was televised on the Big Ten Network.
Senior Molly Toon recorded her seventh double-digit kill outing of the season as she led the Wolverines with 19 terminations. That also is a season high, surpassing her 15 kills last Saturday in a win over Ohio.
Junior Lexi Dannemiller had her 34th career double-double with 43 assists and 12 digs. It also was her third double-double of the season.
Freshman Abby Cole led the team in blocks for the second time this season. She also accomplished that feat Sept. 6 against Oregon State when she had nine blocks.

Miguel Angel Vaderrama's Culmination Project New York City College of Technology Spring 2012
1, Generals
Structural Lighting
"The companion Project"
1.1 Description: The "companion project" is a light installation that will light up elements (columns, beams, connectors) in the structure of the Williamsburg Bridge, following certain sequence patterns. 1.2 Background Research 1.2a InspirationI greatly admire the capacity of human technology for the creation, planning and construction of such marvelous projects. A bridge is the perfect example of a functional structure that also embodies beauty. In New York City people are surrounded by bridges that have been recognized, not only by their advanced construction techniques, but also by their astonishing beauty. Walking over a bridge can be quite an experience. Not only because it offers one of the best ways to appreciate excellent views of various boroughs but also because it makes it a great option for people who certainly enjoy their nights by an exhilarating walk.
I have walked over the Williamsburg Bridge numerous times. As I was doing it, I started thinking that people should be encouraged to walk the bridge more, especially non locals that want to go from the Lower East Side to Williamsburg or the other way around. These are two areas with strong artistic personality that make them a reference point for locals and visitors. One side of the Williamsburg Bridge is designated for bikers and the other for pedestrians. Designation of sides is a factor that increases dramatically the level of enjoyment that a person can experience when they walk the bridge. Today, pedestrians don't have to worry about sharing a path with bikers riding at high speed from all directions, so they can feel comfortably safe while they are appreciating the view. This is very different from the Brooklyn Bridge where there is not designation and leisure is discouraged.
Williamsburg Bridge/Pedestrian side/ Direction: Brooklyn
I started to look for ways in which I, as an interactive designer, can possibly enhance that experience. It seemed given to use Light as the communication channel to experiment with light, a medium that due to its immateriality does not compromise the integrity of the surfaces that are use. This is very important while working with a City's landmark. The installation will have to guaranty the preservation of the structure. The installation will have to be assembled and taken down without leaving any change on the physical space. If I can control through Lighting the way that the elements on a bridge's structure create and define the pedestrian's visual field, I'll be also able to create a more personalize experience. The structural design of the bridge, almost unintentionally, allows a magnificent visual perspective, as it extends for almost 300 feet. A canvas of these conditions is rare, so it provides a great opportunity to paint an eloquent visual statement. I will use two of the most important properties of light to reinforce its visual impact: Color (creating color chasing and or mixing patterns) and movement (channel sequences defining speed). The idea is to help create, in the pedestrian's mind, the feeling that the bridge is aware of him or her being there, while they walk the bridge, they enjoy the excellent view that it offers and choose walking instead another transportation method. 1.3 System's Description 1.3a General The Installation, how it works The lighting installation will use strategically placed Photo Sensors that will communicate with Arduino the presence of a human walking through a specific location; consequently Arduino will send a command to a USB-DMX Interface (e-cue Butler XT) that will then send a command to a Color Kinetics PDS 750 (Power and Data Supply) that will make light up (in a specific order) an array of 40 to 60 Color Kinetic's Color Blast. The Color Blast will be place on 40 to 60 consecutive columns of the bridge that are the closest to one of the sides of the pedestrian path, as the sketch and arrows on the picture show it.
Sketch for Visual approximation
Williamsburg Bridge/ pedestrian side/ Direction: Brooklyn
In order to technically make this to happen is necessary to write a code in Arduino (processing Language) that will be able to take the ON and OFF state of the photo sensor and translate this into something that the USB-DMX interface will be able to interpret as a triggering command. Then it can execute a number of cues that will be programmed into it. The conceptual idea of the installation requires Arduino to determine how often (or how many times) the beam of light of the photo sensor has to be broken before it triggers the Lighting event (lighting cue), as well as distinguish the direction that the person is walking in The idea behind making the triggering command happen after a certain number of times the photo sensor reports the presence of a human to Arduino, will make the "light event" special That the person who can experience the event will be kind of the "Lucky one". It will also personalize the experience. I will start by trying every fifteen, times or in other words 15 people, passing through the sensor

Basement Lighting
I am in the middle of finishing my basement and are looking at lighting ideas. The basement area is 13' x 36'. It will be used as a play room/family room. Fluorescent lighting would be the most economical but it is to bright. Would Ibe able to use recessed lighting with a suspended cieling? Is there any other lighting I can use other than Fluorescent and recessed lighting?
Yes, Recessed lighting in suspended ceilings is very common. The recessed fixtures come with expandable arms to rest on and be secured to the grid. They can also be adjusted side to side and up and down. This way you can get them positioned exactly where you want them.

English is one of the most widely spoken language in the world. This makes learning English an important priority. Added to this, good English skills improve business and employment opportunities.
The increasing penetration of the internet has created an option for students to learn English online. Online English tutorials not only include study material on the net but also live online classes. An online classroom boasts of all the features of a conventional class. Online tutoring is a combination of one-to-one tutoring sessions (live tutoring), threaded discussions, video conferencing and bulletin boards. Teachers involved in online tutoring are well-versed with the needs of the students from diverse backgrounds.
English online tutorials are very helpful in today's fast –paced and technologically advanced world. They have many advantages, which are as follows:
TIME-SAVINGSince online tutorials are done on the net, it saves a lot of time which is otherwise wasted in travelling to the English coaching centres.
The online tutorials are very economical as compared to classroom coaching. They are usually priced low, thus making them a very accessible medium for people of all economic backgrounds. Some tutorials also provide free demo classes. Since they are online, they also help save the money that would have otherwise been spent in travelling to the tuition centre.
The timings of these English online tutorials are very flexible in nature. The timings are fixed keeping in mind the convenience of the tutor and the learner. The learner can either be a student who wants to have a class at 3pm, a working professional who wants to have the class at 9pm or a housewife who wants to take the tutorial at 12 noon. So, the timings can be selected as per the needs of the learner.
Today English is being spoken globally. It forms a common medium of communication for people living in different parts of the world. Knowing English today is almost a necessity. It is also very useful for one's personal growth and development. It is possible for students to learn from teachers living in different countries through the online medium.
The students get individual attention. The interaction is one-to-one between the student and the tutor, and this allows the tutor to focus and give more attention to the student. This helps the tutor in identifying the weaknesses of the student and work upon the problem areas. As only a single student is taught at a time, the student can also interact easily with the tutor without feeling nervous or ashamed of being judged by fellow students.
Many English tutorials provide free trials or demo classes for the students to see whether it is good for them or not. On the basis of such trial classes, students can decide whether they would like to join the course.
The online English tutorial classes provide a lot of learning options to choose from according to the need of the person. They provide long term courses, short term courses, specific courses relating to the problem areas or customized courses according to the need of the student.
English online tutorials follow an instant feedback mechanism. This quick feedback makes it a suitable option for people as the experience is like that of a live classroom.
English online tutorials provide a platform for the students to interact with each other and, thus share their knowledge with each other. This helps to bring in varied opinionsand the discussion turns out to be a fruitful and enriching exercise. Moreover, since there are no geographical boundaries, students get to learn about fresh cultures, ways of living and most importantly, intricacies of the English language as spoken around the globe.
Students have the freedom to access their lessons at any time. They just need to post a query through Skype or drop a mail; and usually the teacher reverts back to them at the earliest. This feature is unheard of in a conventional classroom, where a student gets to raise his problem to his teachers only at specific times. Sometimes, even that can't happen, thanks to the burgeoning work load on the teachers.
Research backs the notion that pictures are far more effective than words. This finding is applied to the teaching style by using multi-media teaching tools. In an online class, a tutor makes use of videos, pictures or audio equipments to clarify various concepts. Since, merely writing English will not serve the purpose for the students, tutors work on improving the pronunciation through audio- aids and interaction.
In a traditional classroom of over 30 students, many a times, a student might feel hesitant to raise questions to the teacher. Through one-to-one English classes, this hesitation can be easily overcome. A student, without caring about what others will say, can ask his doubts and get them clarified to his satisfaction. Furthermore, the interaction which takes place with the teacher in the process can boost his self-confidence.
Many students complain about the pace of their teachers. The learning schedule is designed in a way, so as to address these issues in a comfortable manner. Since the classes are one-to-one sessions, students can comfortably design the schedule as per their convenience. They can request the tutor to slow down or go faster as per their individual requirements.
Since the study material is available on the internet at all hours of the day, students have the freedom as well as an opportunity to revise their lessons at any hour. This proves to be extremely beneficial to the students and adds to the flexibility factor.
The special lessons on vocabulary help the students in building their word-base and transforming them into fluent speakers of the English language.
Thanks, to online tutorials, students can get that extra edge in their subjects without the hassle of hiring a full-fledged tutor.

Brazil swept a pair of friendly games played in Sweden, defeating Chile, 4-0, on Saturday in Gothenburg and Ghana, 1-0, on Tuesday in Stockholm.
Ronaldinho scored twice against Chile, converting a controversial penalty and scoring direct from a free kick, for his first goals for Brazil in almost two years. Kaka and Juan scored the other goals.
In Tuesday's game against Ghana, a rematch of their 2006 World Cup
second-round match Brazil won, 3-0, Vagner Love scored the game's only goal, and Brazil held on for the win. Goalie Julio
Cesar made several key stops. Ghana had midfielder Haminu Dramani sent off in the 77th minute.
The games marked the first time Ronaldinho, Kaka
and Robinho started together since Dunga took over as Brazil coach.
Dunga tried to downplay the presence of
Brazil's attacking stars.
"The whole team is important, not just a few individuals," said Dunga after the Chile game.

A Long, Frustrating Search for Dark Money in Utah PoliticsBy
A 214-page report from Utah's state legislature has exposed the murky world of hidden campaign contributions, known as dark money. The report was prepared by a special investigative committee in the Utah House, which alleges that the state's Republican former Attorney General John Swallow used a complex network of political action committees, or PACs, and nonprofits with the goal, in the report's description, of "laundering" campaign contributions to hide donors from public scrutiny.
It's a detailed piece of investigative work, full of frank e-mails that show how Swallow interacted with donors, particularly in the payday loan industry. But the most remarkable thing about the evidence may be that it was uncovered at all. The hurdles faced by the Utah investigators are a case study of how difficult it's become to figure out where political candidates get their money.
Swallow resigned in November, maintaining his innocence and saying the inquiry was "calculated to drive me from office." After he stepped down, the committee wrapped up the investigation, and in two days of hearings in December and a final report made public on March 12, the investigators detailed what they called a play-to-play environment that led Swallow to collect more than $450,000 in hidden money from payday lenders.
Less than two weeks after Swallow was sworn into office in January 2013, the Salt Lake Tribune published a bombshell report of allegations in a secretly taped conversation between Swallow and a donor at a Krispy Kreme. The donor, an indicted businessman, can be heard on the tape talking about an alleged bribe of a U.S. senator that the businessman said Swallow had arranged—a claim Swallow denied. The two also discuss whether there was a paper trail that showed Swallow had spent time on the businessman's houseboat. That set off a flurry of additional newspaper stories, most notably in the Tribune and City Weekly, exposing questionable deals between Swallow and several high-risk companies, including online gambling and multilevel marketing firms.
The stories put pressure on the government to act. In May, the Utah Lieutenant Governor's office hired an outside law firm, Snell & Wilmer, to investigate possible election law violations, and the firm eventually found several problems with Swallow's disclosures. More broadly, the Republican-led legislature faced calls even from within the Republican Party to impeach Swallow. The legislature instead decided to first investigate what happened before determining whether impeachment was appropriate, according to state Representative Jim Dunnigan, who chaired the Investigative Committee that the House created in June.
The committee hired a team with experience in similar scandals, selecting Steven Reich, a former Justice Department prosecutor now at Akin Gump, as outside counsel, and the Mintz Group as the lead private investigators. The pair had previously worked together on the Connecticut House investigation into then-Governor John Rowland, who resigned during the probe and ultimately pleaded guilty to a federal corruption charge. The committee also hired a Utah-based team at Lindquist & Associates to provide local investigative expertise. Armed with subpoena power, they interviewed about 165 witnesses and reviewed tens of thousands of documents. Dunnigan says they also coordinated with a separate investigation by the FBI, which was working with local prosecutors. All told, the investigation cost about $4 million.
The inquiry was hampered by what the committee alleges was a concerted effort by Swallow to destroy and fabricate evidence. They allege that Swallow created fake entries in his calendar to make it look like he performed consulting work in exchange for payments he got from a payday lender. Investigators also sought evidence from the digital devices Swallow used over the course of his time working in the AG's office. They found that of his devices—a home computer, several work computers, a personal cell phone, two work cell phones, a work iPad, a campaign iPad, and an external hard drive—each was either lost, crashed, or had missing data. "We'd find out there was an additional device, and then we couldn't get our hands on it," says Dunnigan.
After an expert hired by Swallow's attorney couldn't recover data on the home hard drive, the investigators hired their own forensic analyst, who only recently was able to recover 99 percent of the data at a cost of about $100,000, according to Dunnigan. He says it revealed an additional 1,800 e-mails related to the case, many of which draw key links between Swallow and various donors and campaign entities. For example, one newly uncovered e-mail includes a fundraising spreadsheet that tracks which donations made at a fundraiser were earmarked for different political committees and a nonprofit social welfare organization.
More evidence could still be hidden. Several of the political organizations either fought or didn't respond to subpoenas. Out of expediency, the committee didn't litigate to force the PACs to comply, a move they could potentially have pursued had Swallow not resigned.
Swallow's attorney, Rodney Snow, did not respond to a request to comment, but in a letter to the House committee (PDF), he maintained Swallow's innocence, saying "the suggestion the AG Office was for sale is absolutely false." He also wrote, "To suggest there was some nefarious plot afoot to destroy potential evidence for a committee many months before it was established is simply untrue and patently unfair."
"It cost Utah's taxpayers millions of dollars to get at the truth of what happened here," says Reich, the special counsel on the investigation. "The facts were hidden and not in plain view. Without the committee's subpoena power and commitment of resources, we never would have uncovered the true story."
While the House investigation has concluded, its findings and evidence were shared with an ongoing criminal investigation run jointly by Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill and Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings. Gill says they are working with the FBI on an investigation that's even broader than the House committee's. Recently released warrants from their ongoing probe seek to collect additional evidence on Swallow and several donors and other associates. Gill says they need another three to six months, if not longer, to build cases "robust" enough to bring criminal charges. Against whom exactly, he won't say.

He's a husband and a father. He goes to Mass every Sunday. But what started off as a peek at a magazine escalated into an out-of-control diet of pornography.
Viewing pornography creates "a chemical reaction in the brain," says Jason Kidd, director of the Portland archdiocesan Marriage and Family Life Office. "In order to achieve the high, you need increasingly large quantities for your brain to get the same response."
The porn-burdened father who confided in Kidd is not a rare case. "I get phone calls from spouses, from concerned mothers, from young males," Kidd says. "We know pornography is a problem, but not everyone realizes how big."
This spring, the Little Sisters of St. Therese in Haiti elected Sister Denise Desil as mother general. Mother Denise, a frequent visitor to Portland, is a midwife who speaks on healthy birthing in developing nations.
For many years, Mother Denise applied her training as a midwife in rural Haiti. She survived a building collapse in the 2010 earthquake and last year's Hurricane Matthew.

Easy T&G Floor Installation Tips
- Maintain Proper Gaps Between Panels.
Do Not Force Tightly Toghether!
- Leave built in" 1mm expansion gap between tongue and groove edges.
- Leave a 2mm gap between panel ends.
Across the joint.
Space fasteners 150mm (6") around the perimeter of the panel and 300mm (12") on immediate supports.
For plywood thicknesses up to 18.5mm, code approved fasteners include 51 mm common or spiral screws, 51 mm staples, and 45 mm ring thread nails or screws. Longer fasteners are required for panels thicker than 18.5 mm.
Adding a bead of elastomeric glue between joist and panel helps eliminate squeaks and nail popping and increases floor stiffness resulting in potentially longer spans.
Storage and Handling
The EASY T&G profiles are sturdily built and designed to engage even when wet. But dry, undamaged panels install faster and easier, so maximize the time you can save by following these suggestions on the job site:
- Cover plywood bundles with plastic or tarp.
- Use three supports as dunnage to prevent sagging.
- Do not mix CANPLY EASY T&G with other T&G's.

Greener Than A Thousand Suns
The wikipedia notes several definitions of Green Power:
An alternate term for renewable energy.
Energy generated from sources which do not produce pollutants (e.g., solar, wind, and wave energies).
Energy generated from sources that are considered environmentally friendly (e.g., hydro (water), solar (sun), biomass (landfill), or wind)
Energy generated from sources that produce low amounts of pollution.
Energy that is produced and used in ways that produce relatively less environmental impacts.
Thus the green potential of LFTR technology can be illustrated by comparing its "greenness" to the the "greenness" of solar electrical generation systems.
Surprisingly the greenness of solar power cannot be taken for granite. The Energy Return on Energy Invested (EROEI) of solar cells is at best about 10 over their life time, and when you add the energy consumed in the manufacture of materials used in large scale solar cell arrays and during the construction of those arrays, the EROEI of PV generated energy becomes even lower. Indeed it has been argued that the EROEI of PV technology may be as low as 1 to 1. There is some debate whether PV technology produces more energy than it consumes. It is quite clear that at present PV technology is not economically viable and would not be used for electrical production were in not for a system of generous state subsidies there would be PV would not be in play at all as an electrical producing technology. If we add to the discussion about the question of green land use practices, the greenness of widespread use of PV electrical generation technologies clearly can be questioned.
In the case of concentrated solar power (CSP), the potential for a positive return on energy invested is clearer. Although it cannot be said that there is a great deal of evidence, the EROEI of concentrated solar is reported to be about 10. Thus CSP is green by EROEI standards. But what about land use? Austra calculates that by using its technology a 92 by 92 mile square or 8464 square miles or 5.4 million acres would be sufficient to supply the entire United States with electricity at its current rate of consumption. David Rutledge, using real world data from Navada Solar One project land use asserts that it would take 11,600 square miles to supply current US electrical requirements. Bernadette Del Chiaro, Sarah Payne and Tony Dutzik claim about 10,000 square miles.
It should be noted that the general replacement of fossil fuels by electricity in economic sectors like transportation and process heating, could easily double solar land use requirements. Del Chiaro, Sarah Payne and Tony Dutzik claim that the land area disturbed by solar installations would be comparable to that disturbed by coal mining:
more than 9,000 square miles of the United States has been disturbed by coal mining over the nation's history. And at least 1,644 square miles are disturbed by current mining operations
There is little doubt then that at least 10,000 square miles of fragile desert habitat and quite possible twice that amount could be impacted by a full blown national solar electric scheme. Thus from a land use point of view, some "Greens" would seem willing to sacrifice green land use valuse in the cause of solar generated electricity, while others are not. Sandy Bahr of the Sierra Club states,
"We support solar power, but it is an industrial activity and putting it next to a wilderness area just is not a good idea".
There you have the Green dilemma.
Water conservation is a green value. Water use in concentrated solar power systems is almost completely ignored, but Joe Gelt points out that water use in concentrated solar is greater than that of coal and similar to nuclear per MWh generated:
a coal fired plant uses 110 to 300 gallons per megawatt hour; a nuclear plant uses between 500 and 1100 gallons/MWh; and a solar parabolic trough plant uses 760 -920 gallons/MWh.
Gelt adds:
Efforts to increase water efficiency in solar energy operations involve modifying the conventional cooling tower. For example, dry desert air could be used instead of water to cool the operation. This, however, would greatly increase building costs because enormous cooling towers would need to be constructed. Also relying on air to cool would not cool the water circulating through the plant to a low enough temperature for peak performance, decreasing the efficiency of the plant.
The Southwest has already has a significant water shortage, and climate projections are for the Southwest to become even dryer during the coming years. The only possible source of enough water for desert based solar thermal power facilities would be to withdrawal water from agricultural use and to transfer it to power production. This would in turn raise food prices in the southwest, and thus would paradoxically constitute a subsidy paid by poor food consumers who would pay higher food prices, to solar electrical producers who would profit from from nation wide electrical sales. Social justice is presumably a Green goals.
Moving concentrated solar electrical production out of the Southwest is not an option, because solar electrical generation is highly dependent on cloudless skies. There is ample reason then to view there hither to unquestioned "greenness" of concentrated solar generated electricity as open to question.
to no nuclear waste, thus greatly diminishing energy inputs into waste control. Material outputs from nuclear daughter products would be an energy savings, that would be unique to LFTR technology. It is clear then that the LFTR EROEI would from somewhere in the three figures at its lowest on up. From the EROEI stand point, the LFTR would be the ultimate in energy efficiency.
chemical output of the LFTR is already recyclable, and some materials processing and separation is expected to be a normal part of reactor operation, the LFTR is expected to produce little unused byproduct. There are existing markets for some radioactive byproducts and other markets can be developed. Molten Salt Reactors have been proposed for the disposal of transuranium nuclear waste. Thus the potential exists to completely eliminate
The LFTR has the potential to be very parsimonious in its land use. First I have proposed the recycling of existing coal power plant sites. It should also be noted that much of the landused by nuclear power facilities is actually used as a land buffer for the mitigation of accidental release of radioactive products. Thus up to 95% of the land occupied by a LFTR facility may actually be set aside for conservation purposes. Compared to CSP facilities, LFTRs would have a very modest land use footprint. Underground placement of the reactor would further restrict visual intrusions, as well as add to reactor safety defenses.
The LFTR would typically runs at a far higher temperature than conventional reactors. This higher temperature could be used to improve energy efficiency in electrical output. Thus a smaller percentage of the heat produced by LFTR would need to be dissipated by water cooling, In addition most potential LFTR sites are located in areas which do not experience chronic water shortages. Water conservation measure could be applied if needed, and water conservation facilities would already exist at some coal fired plant sites. If needed LFTRs could be air cooled. In the Southwest, LFTRs could be located near the sea coast, an option not available for CSP..
The Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor is by definitions green. The LFTR is green by the principles of green engineering. The LFTR conforms to the goal of green chemistry by not producing polluting waste. There is little doubt that the LFTR is greener than CSP in terms of energy efficiency, land use and water conservation, and could potentially be as pollution free as well. The LFTR thus is by conventional definitions of green. The LFTR is greener than all forms of solar power.

Mixed media art quilts are my passion. Many of my quilts are whole cloth quilts that start out with white fabric. I enjoy the layering of pattern and color and seeing these layers peek through in the completed quilt. Most of my quilt designs start off with sketches of my favorite imagery, which usually includes girls, cats, birds, and flowers.
Many of my art quilts are available for sale. To see current offerings, please visit my Etsy shop, click here, or feel free to contact me about availability.
I use stencils a lot in my mixed media work--on art quilts, fabrics that I use in handbags and other projects, and in my paintings. Stencils can add layers of texture and pattern to your work. I sell many stencil designs and you will find them available at the links below.

3 photographic series inspired in the border town of Ciudad Juarez Mexico.
Opening Night. Thursday April 19th. 6:30 pm.
Artist Talk. Wednesday April 25th. 6:30pm
International Arts Movement. Space 38/39
38 West 39th Street, 3rd Floor
New York, NY 10018
International Arts Movement is pleased to present The Other Side, a collection of 3 photographic series by Monica Lozano, curated by Sergio Arribas and Dhruv Malhotra. Lozano was raised in Ciudad Juarez Mexico which today is considered to be one of the most dangerous cities in the world. Her work is inspired by real stories of people's
courage, determination and strength, particularly those who have lived difficult experiences in borders throughout the world. Her work is a poignant meditation on the human condition in a difficult time and place. By contemplating on the theme of survival, these stories are a testament of courage.
In the words of Lozano: "The last 10 years I found myself exasperated by the continuous media reports about the violence in Juarez. In a desire to capture this other side I knew about my city, I found myself dedicating my photographic work to this matter. After several encounters, I realized that I was also looking to find my own hope, my own understanding and acceptance of the whole situation."
About Monica Lozano
Following a BA in Visual Arts, Lozano received her Masters Degree in Photography in Madrid, Spain. During this time, she produced Borders, a series selected for various international photo competitions and grants including the Air Dolomiti (Lufthansa) prize at the ITS#EIGHT competition in Italy. She also completed the Photo Global residency at the School of Visual Arts in New York on a presidential scholarship. Lozano's elegant and socially charged portraits have been exhibited in Italy, Spain, Germany, Mexico and the United States. In 2011 she was featured under the One To Watch column in American Photo Magazine. Lozano is currently collaborating in a global action with 2011 TED Award winner JR and his Inside Out Project in Ciudad Juarez and Mexico City. International press has placed Lozano as one of Mexico's new contemporary young photographers.

About the Inside Out Project
The Inside Out Project is a large-scale participatory art project that transforms messages of personal identity into pieces of artistic work. Everyone is challenged to use black and white photographic portraits to discover, reveal and share the untold stories and images of people around the world. These digitally uploaded images are made into posters and sent back to the project's co-creators, for them to exhibit in their own communities. People can participate as an individual or as part of a group. Posters can be placed anywhere, from a solitary image in an office window, to a wall of an abandoned building, or in
a full stadium. These exhibitions will be documented, archived and be made available online at www.insideoutproject.net.

There are certain public places of beauty where the beauty is so enveloping that the place seems one's very own, seems possessed.
The darkness was like a cloud down there, enveloping the outer brigands.
The very atmosphere was oppressive, in spite of the enveloping sunshine.
Immediately afterwards, however, the obscurity was enveloping.
It was to me as if she wanted to make it a part of her, her hands and fingers were so enveloping in their grasp.
But always there was this enveloping cloak of ignorance baffling him at every turn.
Patagium incomplete, with elliptical perimeter, enveloping only the middle part of the shell.
A great weight, soft and enveloping, seemed to drop upon me.
