MTV Plans Reality Show for Teenage Newspaper Nerds
Well, this just warms the cockles of my teenage-journalism-nerd heart. MTV is filming a documentary series about a high school newspaper that will air early next year.
The series is set at Cypress Bay High School in Florida, behind the scenes of the award-winning newspaper The Circuit. MTV is filming eight episodes, and lest you non-nerdy types wonder how there will possibly be enough drama to fill eight episodes, I can assure you that high school newspapers have plenty of backstabbing, catfighting and bad-decision-making to go around. Or maybe that was just my high school paper.
Interesting tidbit: MTV is shying away from calling this a "reality series," because they insist they didn't set anything up — they found this group of kids and are filming as-is (though the network did post a casting notice last year). Instead they're calling it a "docu-series." Apparently, we've reached the point where reality TV is officially classified as not real.

A $2 million initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is bringing together five civil rights organizations with the prominence and strength to help reverse childhood obesity, especially in African-American and Latino communities where the epidemic continues to hit hardest.
Over the next 16 months, the groups will aim individually and collaboratively to advance the public advocacy and policy changes critical to creating healthier communities. The initiative recognizes the power of their work to solve systemic issues of racial and social injustice.
The organizations include the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC); Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF); National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP); National Council of La Raza (NCLR); and National Urban League (NUL).
"These national organizations are coming together to take a stand," said Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, M.D., M.B.A., president and CEO of the Foundation. "They will help ensure that all communities benefit from the policy and environmental changes we know are necessary to reverse childhood obesity."
RWJF's announcement of the initiative coincides with September's designation as National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month. Prevention is acutely needed in communities of color given the troubling disparities that persist in rates of childhood obesity and related health problems.
RWJF also has a national program, Salud America!, led by the team behind SaludToday, to increase the number of researchers and the amount of research to reduce the childhood obesity epidemic among Latinos.
RWJF also has a Multicultural Newsroom covering Latino and African-American health care issues.

The Global Youth Media Council : young people speaking and learning about media reform
Dezuanni, Michael L. & Miles, Prue (2011) The Global Youth Media Council : young people speaking and learning about media reform. Journal of Media Literacy Education, 3(2), pp. 74-83.
View at publisher (open access)
The 5th World Summit on Media for Children and Youth held in Karlstad, Sweden in June 2010 provided a unique media literacy experience for approximately thirty young people from diverse backgrounds through participation in the Global Youth Media Council. This article focuses on the Summit's aim to give young people a 'voice' through intercultural dialogue about media reform. The accounts of four young Australians are discussed in order to consider how successful the Summit was in achieving this goal. The article concludes by making recommendations for future international media literacy conferences involving young people. It also advocates for the expansion of the Global Youth Media Council concept as a grass roots movement to involve more young people in discussions about media reform.

Funding Opportunities
Mechanistic Pathways Linking Psychosocial Stress and Behavior (R01)Funding Number: RFA-HL-12-037
Funding Type: RFA
Release Date: September 22, 2011
Expiration Date: December 20, 2011
Web Site: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HL-12-037.html
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the NIH Basic Behavioral and Social Sciences Opportunity Network (OppNet) solicits Research Project grant (R01) applications from institutions and organizations that propose to investigate basic psychological, social, and environmental mechanisms and processes linking psychosocial stressors and behavior. This FOA will facilitate investigation of multiple and potentially bidirectional pathways underlying the behavioral, environmental, and psychosocial link(s) between psychosocial stressors and behaviors that may ultimately impact biological function, health, and disease. Applicants are encouraged to use innovative and integrative designs to elucidate how psychological, social, and psychosocial environmental factors impact the processes by which stressors become coupled with and influenced by behaviors. Applications examining moderating factors such as individual demographic (age, gender/sex, ethnicity) and psychological (vulnerabilities, resilience) differences, risk factors, timing of exposure to stressors, and environments are desirable. This research will provide a deeper understanding of the psychological, environmental, and social processes that ultimately connect psychosocial stress and behaviors and consequently physiological processes, health, and disease.

Yes, You Can Use Keyboard Shortcuts!
We all have those super techie friends who seem to have an aversion to their mouse.
They sit there and peck away at the keyboard faster than Speedy Gonzales, while you watch in awe thinking, "How in the world are they doing that so FAST?!?!"
Some people hesitate to learn keyboard shortcuts. They think it's easier to just use the mouse, or they worry they'll never remember so many key combinations.
But trust us. Keyboard shortcuts can be your best friend, even if you only learn one or two commands that you use frequently. For example, our multitaskers would be lost without ALT + TAB and our designers sure do appreciate CTRL + Z.
Here's our basic lifesaver list of keyboard shortcuts if you're using Windows and Microsoft Office. Just hold down the keys in the order mentioned. (And just so we're clear, the plus sign tells you which keys to combine--you don't actually need to press the + key.)
CTRL + C Copy the selected text or object(s)
CTRL + X Cut the selected text or object(s)
CTRL + V Paste the selection
CTRL + B Make the selected text bold
CTRL + I Make the selected text italicized
CTRL + U Underline the selected text
CTRL + Z Undo the last action
ALT + F4 Close a window
ALT + TAB Switch to another open program or window (hold ALT and keep pressing TAB to select)
SHIFT + DELETE Permanently delete an item (without moving it to the recycle bin first)
When you've mastered all those, check out a longer list of shortcuts for Windows. Or learn some common shortcuts for a Mac.
You'll be impressing your friends with your keyboard tricks in no time (and wondering how you ever lived without them).

Pioneer today announced the Pioneer XDJ-R1, a DJ controller that can play music from USB, built-in CD players or external line/phono sources, and which has a host of mobile DJ-friendly features including mic in and booth and XLR outputs. It can also operate with a laptop as a "normal" Midi/audio interface controller, and ships with Virtual DJ LE. But its unique twist is the way it wirelessly adds controllerist-friendly functions via iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and a brand-new app, Remotebox.
Read on for a full summary, our thoughts, a talkthrough video, how to get a demo of the software, pricing, and a link to Pioneer's official info.
Pioneer XDJ-R1: Digital DJ Tips Talkthrough
The Pioneer XDJ-R1 looks similar to the previous model in the XDJ range, the XDJ-Aero. But whereas the XDJ-Aero can stream music wirelessly from any device running Rekordbox, the XDJ-R1 drops that capability, instead adding the ability to remote control the unit from any iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. A two-channel controller, it features a built-in sampler, three cue-points buttons, and a rubberised rack at its rear onto which you can perch your iDevice (definitely iPhone; not sure about iPad, although it appears that's what they've done in the demo video). Your iOS device then connects to the XDJ-R1 wirelessly (there's no wired option at all). The XDJ-R1 has its own built-in WiFi network, and connection to the iDevice and the Remotebox app happens via this.
While traditional "remote control" is indeed possible (the mixer, decks, FX, library etc can all be managed from the app anywhere within reach of the XDJ-R1's wireless network), one of the main uses of an iDevice with the XDJ-R1 is as a large screen while you're stood right in front of it. Because while the XDJ-R1 works fine on its own, with an iDevice plugged in you are given extra options that add a decidedly controllerist twist to what would otherwise be a pretty traditional all-in-one mobile DJ-style unit.
What you actually see on the Remotebox screen adjusts in portrait and landscape modes to make most use of the screen space available, and you can choose which area to focus on, too. For instance, there are X/Y pads to control the Beat and Color FX, both of which are drip-downs from Pioneer's more expensive pro DJ gear; there's a "needle drop" for scrubbing through tracks; it offers better control over beat-matched loops; and most crucially, you get clear control over your library. This is just as well, taking into account the disappointingly limited LED screens provided for each deck. From the iDevice, you can easily access all of your playlists and folders, drag tunes onto decks, and search using the on-screen keyboard.
It's important to note that no musical information crosses the network between iDevice and XDJ-R1; the music is on your USB drive, and needs to be organised using Pioneer's Rekordbox software. Although this software is also available for the iPad and iPhone, you'll still need a laptop because that's how you'll get the Rekordbox-organised music library onto a USB drive to plug in to your XDJ-R1. Also, all the hard work (ie the FX processing etc) goes on inside the hardware; again, the iDevice is only controlling it.
Of course, this is a true standalone unit, and you could equally simply DJ using CDs or even two line/phono sources added at the back, all without pairing up any iDevice at all. Thus it can be called a true "all-in-one" - whatever style of DJing you want to do, it can cope. there's actually quite a lot to this controller, and Pioneer's talkthrough video is very good, so we recommend you watch it (it's below) to fully understand the feature set.
First thoughts
The XDJ-R1 follows Pioneer's philosophy of not needing an actual computer involved in the playback of the music itself; in this instance, the iDevice is simply interacting with the Reckordbox-organised music library that's "physically" attached to it via the USB drive. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that: In fact I think it's rather neat, and it also provides a seamless "upgrade path" for DJs wanting to start at a (relative) entry level with an all-in-one controller, then "graduate" to Pioneer's pro gear in DJ booths, while not having to relearn as much as those making the same leap from full-on DJ software-based solutions like Traktor and Serato.
It's lovely to see the iPad's screen used how I think it makes a lot of sense - as a great library browser and to control extra features of the hardware. However (and for me it's a really big "but"), Pioneer seems to have missed a glaring chance to have two big, chunky parallel waveforms right there in front of the DJ - surely the most obvious use of all that screen real estate? The addition of this I think would have laptop DJs in their droves seriously considering this solution, as it packs a lot of the advantages of digital DJing without many of the perceived issues (mainly, having to lug a laptop around with you).
As it is, though, this is still an appealing and innovative controller. Dropping the (to me rather gimmicky) wireless music streaming features of the XDJ-Aero for a promising v1 of an app that can be used as a good library browser, to control extra features, and as an all-out remote control for keeping control of the music when temporarily away from the XDJ-R1 (mobile guys will think of triggering jingles and countdowns, for instance) is a smart move.
Pioneer's addition of pro ins and outs and CD players has made it a viable and capable mobile DJ solution, and I can see mobile guys who want to explore some of the techniques usually employed by club or laptop DJs finding the XDJ-R1 appealing. If they'd just added waveforms, we'd be seriously thinking now whether Pioneer had just landed a significant blow on software DJing as a whole. As it is, the XDJ-R1 is definitely another step in that direction, but will probably be received by laptop DJs as a "not quite there yet".
Price: US$1099 / £899 / €999

What do you think of the XDJ-R1? Is this the ultimate mobile DJ solution? Is Pioneer going down an interesting path here with Rekordbox / iOS remote control? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

On board MS EUROPA from Bali to Rangoon
Marvel at the wonders of South East Asia
Experience the many possibilities that South East Asia has to offer. With visits to modern cities, idyllic beaches or the great masterpieces of the region's cultural history.
from Bali to Rangoon
|Cruise dates:

|Your ship:
|Cruise number:
14 days cruise only from € 7,287 per person
incl. travel packages to / from departure / arrival point from € 9,117 per person
To start your cruise, the world's largest island nation with over 17,000 islands, will show you the many sides of South East Asia. From BALI – the "island of 1,000 temples" – in Indonesia, the EUROPA will arrive at Java's most important port: SEMARANG. In the green heart of the island, an amazing gem lies hidden: the pyramids of Borobodur* tell the story of the life of Buddha and everyday life in ninth-century Java on countless reliefs. One of the largest temple complexes in South East Asia is crowned by bell-shaped stupas. If you scale the nine terraces to the top, you will be rewarded with a heavenly view over the jungle.
The Merlion is the protector of SINGAPORE, and the fountain is as legendary as the skyline rising up behind it is remarkable – both by day and by night. At 165 m (541 ft) high, on the Singapore Flyer* you will be almost at eye level with the famous infinity pool at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. The stark contrasts of the megacity are reflected in the route from the luxurious Shenton Way to Chinatown: the historic district gives a good insight into the city's cultural history and the colourful community of independent Singapore. MALAYSIA is also full of superlatives: in KUALA LUMPUR*, the twin Petronas Towers set the scene. The panoramic view from the viewing platform will set your pulse racing, whilst at its feet a six-floor shopping haven is sure to fulfil all your wishes. The full extent of the multinational state is easy to perceive in the capital: mosques, Hindu temples, street traders and rickshaws make for a colourful scene on its lively streets.
Under the palms of LANGKAWI, in the beach bars on PATONG BEACH and in the crystal-clear waters of the bays on KO MIANG – the shores of the Andaman Sea has beaches that are like a Garden of Eden to tempt you to do sweet nothing and their colourful beauty continues in the underwater world. One colour in particular is associated with RANGOON: gold. The EUROPA will stay for two nights in the religious centre of Myanmar, allowing you to enjoy the wonderful sight of the illuminated Shwedagon Pagoda, which is even more magical in the evening. It is said that the stupas, shrines and statues contain more gold than the Bank of England – and yet the real treasure in this hallowed site is the eight hairs of Siddhartha Gautama, the spiritual father of Buddhism. Alternatively, you can fly to the ancient royal city of Bagan*. More than 2,000 sacred monuments, such as the Shwezigon Pagoda or the thousand-year-old Ananda Temple, are a unique legacy of Burma's history. The following day, it will be time to leave the EUROPA.

Golf cruise
Fri 09.03 SEMARANG, JAVA, INDONESIA – GOMBEL GOLF SEMARANG
This 18-hole golf course with a very generous layout is situated on a high plateau to the south of the city of Semarang. The wide fairways often provide panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. The dimensions and layout of the course will ensure you get to keep your golf balls.
Mon 12.03 SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE – MARINA BAY GOLF COURSE
The 18 holes on this course, which is just under ten years old, are lit by glare-free floodlights. This means that players are guaranteed to be able to finish their game even if they tee off late in the day. The 91 bunkers, some of which are very deep, present more of a challenge to your golfing expertise than the layout of the fairways. It is worth playing a tactical game as one more carefully considered stroke can in some circumstances lead to a better score.
Wed 14.03 PORT KELANG (KUALA LUMPUR), MALAYSIA – SAUJANA GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
Two very inviting 18-hole golf courses are waiting to be mastered. As you would expect, hundreds of palm trees line the Palm Course, and players often have play around the corner. However, like its counterpart, the course features some very wide fairways. The Bunga Raya Course is straighter but its greens are guarded by some massive bunkers.
Thu 15.03 GEORGE TOWN, PENANG, MALAYSIA – PENANG GOLF CLUB (ADDITIONAL COURSE)
Set in the middle of George Town, the fairways find their way through hilly terrain that used to be covered in jungle. The 18-hole (par 72) course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr and has already been the venue for the Malaysia Open. Don't be surprised if you see an iguana walking across the course.
Fri 16.03 PORTO MALAI, LANGKAWI , MALAYSIA – THE ELS CLUB TELUK DATAI
On Langkawi, the gifted golfer Ernie Els created a gem of a golf course in the rainforest. The course takes you along streams and through the flora of the island right up to the coast. For example, at the 7th hole, a 569 m (1,866 ft) long par 5, you tee off on a fairway that leads straight towards the Indian Ocean and then finishes along a strip of land beside the blue sea.
Sat 17.03 PATONG BEACH, PHUKET, THAILAND – RED MOUNTAIN GOLF CLUB
This 18-hole course is situated in the middle of an island. The course demands tactical play as the hilly landscape determines the layout of the fairways. Set in some breathtaking scenery, every shot becomes an experience. At the 18th hole, you should really make sure you keep your camera close to hand.

Adelaide's Obst Looks to Put His Mark on Aussie Millions
Despite being in his early 20s, Aussie James Obst seems like a long-time veteran in the online poker world.
Obst, known online as Andy McLEOD, got into poker when he was just 14 years old and has now been playing for nearly 10 years.
Widely-regarded as one of the best poker players to ever come out of Australia, Obst would love to make a deep run in the Aussie Millions.
"I'm pretty keen to go deep here," he said while on break from the Main Event. "I haven't actually cashed in the Main Event so hopefully this is the year."
Obst has won millions playing online poker but, outside of winning a $15k High Roller event in Melbourne a few years ago, has yet to take down a major live tournament.
Time may be running out for Obst as he's started to consider moving away from playing poker for a living.
"I've been playing for a long time," he said.
"I enjoy the freedom of it obviously but there is too much stress. At the same time it's a lot better for me now that I'm doing other things. I like having a balance in my life."
These days Obst will sometimes go months without logging onto an online poker site. Instead he's been playing a lot of tennis and getting into better shape.
"There will usually be a big series online and I'll decide I have to actually do my job and play," he said.
Obst: Australian Poker Players Have Improved 'Big Time'
It seems strange that someone like Obst would consider getting out of a game where he's still one of the best in the world, like an athlete retiring during the peak of their career.
Obst is a member of the first generation of online poker players, however, and that group is already starting to seem like the old guard.
"When I started there really weren't many Australian MTT players at all," he said. "These days there are so many good young players in Australia.
"I can't even name them all, you just see them on the top of the PocketFives leaderboard. It's pretty impressive to be honest."
According to Obst the skill level in Australian poker has improved "big time" over the last few years.
Chess Instrumental in Obst's Poker Development
Over the next year Obst actually has plans to play a few more live tournaments, continue playing a lot of tennis and even take part in a chess tournament.
Obst, like several other poker players, had success as an aggressive chess player when he was still a teenager.
"I reckon the creativity of it helped me," he said. "In chess you train a lot by doing combination puzzles where you have to see a number of moves ahead.
"Sometimes you have to have that mentality in poker as well."
Whatever happens at the 2013 Aussie Millions, Obst still has some decisions to make about his long-term future in poker.
"I haven't really decided what I'm going to do yet," he said.
"I'm going to focus on other things but I'll always keep poker on the side. At this stage gambling is my profession so I've got to keep playing until I get good at something else."

Stress analysis of interbody fusion – finite element modelling of inter-vertebral implant and vertebral body
Adam, Clayton J., Pearcy, Mark J., & McCombe, Peter (2003) Stress analysis of interbody fusion – finite element modelling of inter-vertebral implant and vertebral body. Clinical Biomechanics, 18(4), pp. 265-272.
|PDF (397kB)
Objective: To investigate stresses in interbody fusion systems during compressive loading. Design: The study uses finite element methods to investigate predicted stresses. Previously published experimental material properties are used as inputs to the numerical simulation. Background: Interbody spinal fusion procedures using cage style inter-vertebral implants often cause subsidence failure of the vertebral end plate, resulting in potential pain and mechanical instability of the fusion system. Methods: Finite element models were developed to simulate compressive load transfer between interbody implants and adjacent vertebral body. The vertebral body was modelled using tied finite element mesh regions for cancellous core and cortical shell, and non-linear frictional contact between implants and vertebral end plate. Results: Simulation results predicted end plate stresses of approximately twelve times the nominal contact pressure due to differing deformation stiffnesses of the implant and end plate structures. Reduction of the cancellous core elastic modulus to simulate severely osteoporotic bone resulted in end plate stresses up to three times higher than the benchmark values. Conclusions: In this study, finite element analysis was used to investigate the stresses in interbody fusion systems. Published vertebral loads corresponding to certain activities were shown to generate end-plate stresses which approach and exceed the failure stress for cortical bone. Endplate stresses are strongly dependent on the modulus of the underlying cancellous core. Relevance. Endplate subsidence failure can potentially occur at the corners of existing cage-type interbody implants under physiological compressive loads. Matching material properties between cortical endplate and implant does not guarantee optimal contact conditions, and overall bending stiffness should be assessed.

Contractors license question
Hi, everyone
I have been working with my father in law for 2 years now in the plumbing trade and wanted to know how to get my contractors license. The problem is that my father in lw is not a plumbing contractor and can't sign for application process. Is ther a different way i can get the license. Thanks:)
You work for an unlicensed plumber? And now you want to get experience verified for taking the test? How does your FIL get away with this? You must have a very lax code enforcment in your area. If you were here, that answer would be go to work for a contractor for 2 years and get the journeyman license.
Your state or province may have state issued plumbing licenses, municipal issued plumbing licenses or no licenses required at all.
If you list a state and municipality we might be able to determine just what requirements there are in your jurisidction regarding how to get licensed as a plumber.
Better still is to call your local code enforcement office and have them advise you.
In my state, licensing is done strictly at the municipal level although mandatory statewide building codes are in effect.
I live in Los Angeles CA ,Thanks
Ca has a Construction Contractors Board you need to apply through and then you will need to take the plumbng exam test, for what I know about it there.
California Contractors Board:
I think i probably explained myself wrong. You see, when you submit your application to the CSLB you must provide a contrtactors name and license number. They use this to verify that you have work in the field for minimum of 5 years.Without a contractors name and license number you can't proceed with the exam according to the state of california. I don't have a contractor to sign for me and so that is why i was asking if there was a different way that i can obtain the license. Thanks
My FIL has a city permit and works for management companies and is limited to his work because the lack of a contractors license. if he needs a contractor in order to complete a job then he contacts one. It is rare that he completes jobs that require a contractor. He stays away from them because he is to busy with other tasks from the management companies.
my FIL has been doing rooting and pipework plumbing for 16 years and recongnizes that he should have gotten this along time ago. I quit my regular job to learn this trade and would like to get a little more serious about it because i feel i can make a good living. Thanks for all help.
I don't think you will find any plumbing contractor that will sign on the line to verify your time, I know I would not, you will need to work under a licensed contractor for 5 years or how ever long it takes where your at, before you can do what your wanting to do.
If I undertsand correctly, California also issues 'handyman' licenses which allows one to do repair and small jobs without the necessity of having to obtained specialized licensing.
If the scope of your work would involve residential repairs, you might be able to secure a license like this without much difficulty.
I agree with Ron the Plumber that you will otherwise need to follow the proper licensing proceedures if you intend to become a full time specialized plumber.
You likley could not get insurance without the plumber's license.
Wouldn't want an unlicensed and uninsured 'plumber' work on my properties.
If you really want to be a plumber, then do things right by either going to school or finding a legitimate plumber who you can work for for a period of time and then can vouch for you in securing the testing and licensing.
Good Luck.
Who are we to argue with the California Constractor's Licensing Board?:)
If they will allow you to sit for the test with your FIL's affidavit that you have worked for him for 4 years, then go for it and good luck!
If your FIL, (that you only have worked for, for 2 years), can't sign for you who will then?

Rock N Roll Godfather Dies
On this day in 1965, Alan Freed, the father of "Rock n Roll" dies.
Alan Freed was an American disc jockey who came up with the name "Rock N Roll." He was known for promoting this style of music. His career came to an end when he got caught up in a payola scandal. I wonder what we would call Rock Music of Alan hadn't come up with Rock N Roll. Do you think someone else would have come up with the same name? Comment and let me know what you would have called this genre of music if the term Rock N Roll was not around.

text: I purchased an M1-ATX and was going to buy a VIA micro motherboard. I realized that I had a shuttle PC in a closet and decided to use it. I ran it in the house on the original power supply and got everything set up. After installing in the car I powered it up and the fans turn but the PC does nothing. I can plug in the old power supply and all runs. Its a p4 style board running a celeron 1.8 ghz cpu. It has that damn alternate 4 prong power connector for which I bought the adapter to come off a molex for. Is there a way to get the M1-ATX to run this board. The PC has only a 2.5 inch drive and a USB GPS connected. Im sure it has the power!! Just is the power in the right place?? Any help would be appreciated!!!

to catch you up, here are some past posts about why we went to india, and here is day 1. warning: day 2 was our longest, busiest day, so beware for lots of pictures!
after a great night's sleep, we woke up early to head back down to the ganga.
it was so fun to experience india in a new way – in the early morning, as the sun was coming up, as the city was waking up. we decided to take bicycle rickshaws down to the river instead of a taxi.
it was mellow and quiet. easier to take in than the craziness of the city at full speed – slowly!
as pretty as this looks… can you tell how smoggy it is?!
some of these pics are really for my dad (he's a boat guy), i just loved all the weathered wood and faded colors!
and then you look in the water.
ohmyword it was nasty dirty! and this is their holy water!
the amount of trash that was in there was shocking.
early morning the locals come out to bathe (much fewer now since its winter for them also, but in the summer this place is packed!).
the women's saris added so much color to an otherwise dingy environment.
we took the stairs up from the ganga to walk back to the street, passing cows on the stairs, of course.
the amount of fresh produce we saw was amazing, yet when we asked one of our guides about it (because we were never served fresh veggies in any restaurants) he said that they were so filled with pesticides that he believed they caused cancer. huh!
we took auto rickshaws back – a totally different experience than the bikes! it was crazy – almost like riding in a bumper car super fast, weaving in and out of people, bikes and cars (only not actually bumping into anyone – but coming oh so very close!).
after breakfast we headed out to visit our first training center. empart, the organization we went to india with, is focused on church planting and they do this through training centers where they train 25 men at a time for a year, preparing them to become pastors and church planters. this day was what we came there for: to see what God was doing through empart and to encourage the men to keep pressing on in the great commission!
as we pulled up to the training center, across from it was this (above). this was a site we saw ALL OVER. ok, prepare yourselves… its cow dung! some industrious person realized that if you take a pile of dung in your hands, pack it in tight, and dry it in the sun, it can be used as fuel and as building material. crazy, but smart. but still not a job i'd like!
when we got out of the car we could hear loud praise music, drums and clapping. the men were lined up in the courtyard, each of them holding marigold leis for us – we felt so honored! they had prepared this great welcome for us! this was one of the first powerful moments i felt in the training centers, where i felt the uniting power of God in a faraway place.
after more time of worship and brief introductions, tim, our pastor and friend was asked to teach, then a few others from our group followed him. thankfully, we had a translator!
the training center was a small room with peeling paint (really pretty actually), 3 rows of narrow tables and benches, packed in with guys. their space was small and tight but never once did someone seem irritated by the lack of elbow room – how spoiled we americans are!
one thing that was awesome was whenever a speaker from our team mentioned a verse reference, before the translator can even translate it, the students were already turning to the passage. we made a little secret game out of it to see if we could be faster than them – it didn't happen much! their bibles were clearly loved and well used, they knew them well.
a couple other fun things we noticed: they did a lot of call and response – when someone would say "hallelujah!" everyone would shout "hallelujah!", the same with "praise the Lord!" and "thank you Jesus!". also, they pray very differently than we do. when we do corporate prayer, we either just listen and pray along silently with one person leading, or we take turns. the indian people all pray at the same time. all of them. together. it was so fun to listen to, but so hard to pray along with!
here's a look at their daily schedule, 6 days a week. it is intense!
after the teaching time, we had a little down time with the guys – here sean was showing some of them pics of our kids. they thought it was funny that we call silas "monkey"!
this is the pastor of the training center and his sweet family. what a sacrifice they all have made for the sake of spreading the gospel!
one of the things the indian people do well is hospitality. we were always offered water everywhere we went, then welcomed into homes and offered chai and some sort of snack. a place to sit was always made available for each of us. one thing that struck me was that even when we were packed in tight the hosts never apologized for their space, but were happy to have guests and to serve us. it made me think of all the times that i apologized for not having enough couch space, or having a messy floor, or … it made me realize its not about me! when you are a host it is about your guests and not where you feel your failures are.
here's our whole group, just before we headed off for the afternoon.
after learning about the sewing centers that empart runs, i reeeeally wanted to visit one. and thankfully, tim really pushed for us to see one and they made it possible to go! so we took a long drive outside of the city, past village after village on our way to the sewing center.
then we started passing these fields of bricks.
we saw very few wheel barrows while in india, but plenty of clever ways to move things from point a to point b. this guy rigged his bike to move tons of bricks – he was teetering here on the very edge of the road!
these 2 were making the bricks, which was really cool to see!
then we walked down a small brick and dirt pathway, past a few mud huts with thatch roofs to an opening in the middle of a small village, where the sewing center was set. i was anticipating a building with tables and chairs and basically something so different from what i saw. smack dab in the center of this village, on top of grain sacks, was a group of 10 women and one teacher – this was the training center.
and it was perfect.
it wasn't my western vision of what it would look like, it was what made sense for them. these centers are very strategic opportunities for empart.
these women are given an opportunity to learn a trade for free that they would never have otherwise. they are given the chance to provide for themselves and their families.
and they are also told the gospel while they are learning a new skill set. as the teacher is teaching the women tailoring skills, pattern making and embroidery, the gospel story is being weaved throughout their days and many of the women come to christ through it, and can then take it back to their families and communities.
empart is welcomed into these communities because of the good they are doing for them, in providing a help in the training.
after 6 months of training, each of these women are given a hand-crank sewing machine to start their new businesses with.
this is a way that we can support them – by buying a sewing machine for a graduate of the sew & sow centers – how awesome is that?! to spend $75 to help a woman and her family rise out of poverty is so doable, right?
the women were very sweet to let me join in to try the hand crank machine!
it was a little tricky pushing with one hand and cranking with the other, but pretty much the same as an electric machine otherwise – fun!
the ladies also sang a couple worship songs for us.
then there was this baby girl… oh she was so cute!
this put real meaning behind "it takes a village to raise a child" – literally, the whole village was helping the mother (a sewing student) to raise this child while she was learning.
can you see why i was so taken by her?! just precious.
travis got in on some baby loving – i'm guessing he was missing his own 4 babies back home!
just past the sewing center was the church.
it was a small brick building that 25 people worshipped in every sunday.
the people of teh village were so sweet and welcoming!
as we headed back to our cars, the whole village…
walked us out! it was so fun to have a sweet farewell!
then we hit the dirt road again to go visit another pastor and his family… of 12!
another strategic way empart works is through children's homes, not just orphanages, but actual homes that children can live in, with families. orphanages are great and needed, but children are raised with no real sense of a mother and father. through empart's children's homes, children are brought into a pastor's home and family and are raised with a healthy view of what it is to have a mother and father. not only is this beneficial for the children but also for the pastor. the villages that may have not welcomed the gospel into their community will usually open wide their arms for someone willing to take in the orphans – indian people are very family centered and love to see their people cared for.
the home we visited had 10 children, 8 of them little boys, ages 4 to 12, that the pastor and his wife took in. these kids were all so sweet and sang us a couple songs for us, then served us (you guessed it!) chai. behind them you can see 5 bunk beds, all lined up in a row.
we left their home as the sun was setting and i crashed hard. the day was so emotional and overwhelming – pushing me to think in ways that i never have before, challenging me to be someone different. i was so exhausted that i slept on sean's shoulder for the long ride back to the hotel, then skipped dinner and went straight to bed. i was wiped, way too tired to process the day!

Got my iPad 2 on too high a firmware from the shop to jailbreak, this is most welcome news, I am itching to get it jailbroke!
The direcTv guys were saying the same thing for a few years after the p4 cards came out.
Theres major testing currently underway to solve the respring loop, then it needs to get wrapped in a GUI for release... So patience is all we need.
There also looking into if siri is being effected and possibly disabled by detection of a jailbroken kernel.....grrr its torture isn't it.
I have no issues waiting until they release something, but in the meantime, I'm not bothering with buying into the hype. "Most amazing jailbreak ever!", "Jailbreak is moving along quickly", "Update to 5.0.1 before Apple stops signing it"... Give me a break. They have been hyping up this jailbreak for months. If they do it, great. If they don't, owell. My 4s does almost everything I need/want it to do already. However, I won't be donating until a jailbreak is released. As it stands, one dev who has been building hype since he declared he was going to jailbreak the ipad2 on 4.3.3 has made large promises ever since(including how he was going to jailbreak the 4s the day it came out., but is still happily accepting donations and releasing nothing. In fact, I remember seeing on this dev's twitter where his girlfriend posted trying to get more donations so he would hurry up and package up pod2g's work. Seriously?? I DO suspect it will be done soon though. I doubt Jay Freeman/Saurik is inclined to let his cash cow dry up.
I buy my phone based on it's capabilities out of the box. If anything is added later, it's a nice benefit. Oh, and before someone decides to make the dumbass comment about writing one myself. 1, it's not that important to me. 2, try applying that saying to any other job. And yes, it is a job. With the exception of Musclenerd, they all accept donations and I remember when Comex posted how much he made in donations on his 2 jailbreaks. The number was a nice yearly salary.
I suspect the ones who are really going nuts for the jailbreak are the ones who charge people to jailbreak their phones by running software they got for free.
Getting closer. Musclenerd update tweet: Dev-Team Blog - Corona A5 jailbreak nearly ready to pop!

Bovespa Rises for Third Day as Oil Gain Lifts Petrobras and OGX
The Bovespa (IBOV) index rose for a third day as Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PETR4) and OGX Petroleo e Gas Participacoes SA (OGXP3) followed crude higher after U.S. House Speaker John Boehner said he expects to keep working on a budget plan with President Barack Obama.
Banco do Brasil SA jumped after a regulatory filing on Brazil's regulator website showed that its unit, Banco Votorantim, filed to sell shares in a primary and secondary offer. The file was retracted minutes later by the regulator.
The Bovespa index gained 0.5 percent to 61,276.12 at the close of trading in Sao Paulo. The measure is up 8 percent this year. Boehner's remarks helped equities rebound after the Bovespa fell as much as 0.6 percent earlier on signs budget talks in the U.S. were deteriorating.
"After Boehner spoke, the market had an exceptional turnaround," Ari Santos, a manager at Sao Paulo-based brokerage H.Commcor, said by phone. "It shows the market is expecting something to be done quickly, even before year-end."
Thirty-eight stocks rose today while 29 fell. The real gained 0.1 percent to 2.0693 per dollar.
Petrobras rose 0.6 percent to 21.05 reais as crude oil for February delivery rose 15 cents to $90.13 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest settlement since Oct. 18. OGX advanced 0.5 percent to 4.28 reais.
Banco do Brasil rose 3.3 percent to 25 reais.
Inflation Outlook
Some stocks linked to domestic demand advanced after the central bank cut its 2013 inflation forecast and signaled interest rates will remain at a record low for a long time.
Homebuilder PDG Realty SA rose 4.3 percent to 3.41 reais and contributed the most to the gauge's advance. The central bank lowered its forecast for inflation next year to 4.8 percent, down from 4.9 percent three months earlier, in a quarterly inflation report today. Gross domestic product will expand 1 percent this year and 3.3 percent in the year through the end of the third quarter of next year, the bank said.
"The central bank is showing that it doesn't foresee increases in the benchmark lending rate, as it seems comfortable with the outlook for inflation," Alvaro Bandeira, a partner at Orama Asset Management, said by phone from Rio de Janeiro.
LLX Logistica SA, the port developer controlled by billionaire Eike Batista, surged 5.4 percent to 2.33 reais after saying it signed a 20-year contract to lease space at its Acu port to the Brazilian unit of Vallourec SA, a French maker of steel pipes for the oil and gas industry.
Trading Volume
The Bovespa index has climbed 17 percent from this year's low in June as stimulus from central banks around the world eased concern about an economic slowdown, while record-low benchmark lending rates have pushed some investors to move into stocks from fixed income.
The index trades at 11.5 times analysts' earnings estimates for the next four quarters, which compares with a ratio of 11.1 for MSCI Inc.'s measure of 21 developing nations' equities, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Trading volume was 6.55 billion reais in stocks in Sao Paulo, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That compares with a daily average of 7.28 billion reais this year through Dec. 18, according to data compiled by the exchange.

What broke: A veneer that has separated from its base materials, such as the 30-year-old Formica countertop that came with the house or the edging to inexpensive cabinet shelves and drawers.
The fix: 3M Hi-Strength 90 spray-on adhesive is heat- and water-resistant, especially important when the laminate is used in the kitchen or bathroom.
How to use it: Apply to both surfaces to be bonded. Let set for 2 to 15 minutes, then press the surfaces together. Apply pressure or a clamp for up to five minutes to increase the strength of the bond.
Sticking points: Although this glue is ideal for reattaching veneers, you shouldn't use it to repair a snapped table leg or any other structural element of a piece of furniture.
Cleanup: To remove excess glue from hands and surfaces, wipe while still wet with a damp cloth or with mineral spirits.

Hey all, I've got an 03 wagon with an EJ257 short block/2.0 heads machined out to 2.5 by Equilibrium tuning, STi pink injectors, stock turbo and intercooler, AEM short ram intake, and a TBE. Tuned by EFI. Has been running great for a long time now, but recently I used it quite heavily (mileage wise, not gas pedal wise), and now it only hits about 12 psi (tuned to 18.5) I can't see any obvious holes in hoses, and havent had a chance to hook up a smoke machine to it to test for leaks. I took a few screenshots of LearningView logs, but they haven't really told me much. Hoping you guys might be able to help me figure this out.
I apologize for the lack of information on the logs; snowy roads and lack of boost means its hard to get through one gear for logging, let alone more.
Thanks in advance, if theres any questions or more information I should provide, or any suggestions, just let me know. Thanks!
Edit: I dunno if it's really possible, but an idea I had was maybe ice in a hose? I did drive a long way in the rain, and dont have a splash guard under my engine at the moment. AEM Ram air intake, but not a cold air.

Where can Pushmatic breakers be bought?
I have an older home with a Pushmatic breaker box and pushmatic berakers. One 20amp single pole went bad. Can I replace it or do I have to get the whole box redone?:(
you should be able to get them at your local electric supply house, or online. http://www.aplussupply.com/break/push/push.htm
You won't find these at your local blue or orange home centers. But most any wholesale house will either stock them, or know where to get `em.
They ain't cheap, however.
If you can't find them locally, you can find them here
i changed out an old panel with a truckload of pushmatics yesterday,how many doya want? :thumbsup:
Stubbie (Poster #5) Speaking of being focused. I once blew a 100Amp. Main fuse, when the screwdriver slipped and made a nice, strong contact between the bus bar and the panel box. The screwdriver was embedded (welded to) in the panel box! Also, I think they were de listed by the UL:huh:!
i had a customer do that one time trying to save money.smoked the panel and wire up to the meter,he always calls me now! :laughing:
start your collection! :laughing: ive got tons of old fp and bulldog/pushmatic and other oddball breakers ive collected over the years cuz ya never know when somebodies gonna need something late at night or on a weekend.i install mostly sq d stuff so i keep lots of it in stock,i installed a cutler hammer br series panel today that customer supplied.must say i was unimpressed and will not reccomend them to anyone! :(
the overall construction of the panel itself and the fact the breakers fit really lose is what im referring to,i never had a problem with the old style tan ch breakers with the hook that held them in place.
Pushmatic breakers needed
It sounds like everyone has extra Pushmatic breakers except for me.:wink: I have a few townhouses and they all have the Pushmatic breakers. They are all to the point to where they are getting tired and in need of replacement. As of right now I could use 3 15/15's 7 15/20's & 2 20/20's any good ones out there to spare???:thumbup:
You can purchase Pushmatics from suppliers that specialize in obsolete breakers.
I pitched all mine when I updated the panel 2 years ago. I just did not like the panel humming noises and the crappy wiring job of whomever installed it 3 decades ago.

Stoner, Lorenzo and Pedrosa all pushed Rossi to a new level and gave us races like Laguna 08 and Catalunya 09 to watch. We saw Pedrosa ride harder than ever during the second half of last year after he saw what Stoner could do with the Honda. Dislike all you want but Marquez will push the current aliens, I don't think we've seen the very best of Lorenzo yet but riders like Marquez will bring the best out of him and improve the show for us. 12 agree 3 disagree

Random Lies?
Deciphering the Library of Babel
by Ethan Haskel (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Baltimore, MD (June 30, 1999) -- Let's take a little summer holiday and visit a land far, far away. Welcome to the Library of Babel, Jorge Luis Borges' magical, metaphorical universe. It's a world elegantly described in one of his short stories contained in the collection Labyrinths:
The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite and perhaps infinite number of hexagonal galleries, with vast air shafts between, surrounded by very low railings. From any of the hexagons one can see, interminably, the upper and lower floors. The distribution of the galleries is invariable. Twenty shelves, five long shelves per side, cover all the sides except two; their height, which is the distance from floor to ceiling, scarcely exceeds that of a normal bookcase...
This Library is quite a place. Basically, the universe consists wholly of an array of hexagonally aligned bookshelves, expanding out almost ad infinitum. And these shelves don't contain just any old books.
There are five shelves for each of the hexagon's walls; each shelf contains thirty-five books of uniform format; each book is of four hundred and ten pages; each page, of forty lines, each line, of some eighty letters which are black in color. There are also letters in the spine of each book; these letters do not indicate or prefigure what the pages will say.
Each line of each book contains only the letters of the alphabet, a space, a comma, or a period. The volumes in the library are filled with every possible combination of these symbols, in near infinite number, as the bookshelves reach out into the cosmos.
The possibilities and potential of such a library are tantalizing. Since every possible combination or permutation of these characters exists,
There was no personal or world problem whose eloquent solution did not exist in some hexagon. The universe was justified, the universe suddenly usurped the unlimited dimensions of hope. At that time a great deal was said about the Vindications: books of apology and prophecy which vindicated for all time the acts of every man in the universe and retained prodigious arcana for his future.
The Librarians searched endlessly for such books that held the ultimate truths. But, alas, their efforts proved fruitless."For every sensible line of straightforward statement, there are leagues of senseless cacophonies, verbal jumbles and incoherences." For instance, someone found a volume that consisted only of MCVMCVMCV repeated over and over. Another book appeared to be complete gibberish, except for the next-to-last page, which read "Oh time thy pyramids."
Borges' fictional Library of Babel has a very real counterpart in the modern world of the exploding media. The sheer quantity of information out there is truly astounding. When it comes to financial advice, most of it is just plain false, misleading, or inappropriate for a specific individual. For every valuable piece of advice, there may be ten others of dubious merit.
A quick skim through a major finance periodical could serve as our first volume for the Library of Babel. The recent issue of SmartMoney Magazine touts the cover story "10 STOCKS NOW," with a ticking clock as the centerpiece. Of course, since the current issue on the newsstands was written many weeks ago, a more accurate headline might read "10 STOCKS TO BUY A MONTH AGO."
The SmartMoney article itself contains such Wise babbles as "... unless you work at it, it's very hard to get good economic diversification with as few as 20 stocks." Stocks are recommended based partly on analysis of financial gooroo Elaine Garzarelli, the market timer famous for her call of the "crash" of 1987. Here's one Foolish take on Elaine.
It's a jungle out there. Like the Library of Babel, the truth is out there somewhere. In fact, SmartMoney does sprinkle some good advice throughout. But how can we find the golden nuggets among all the "leagues of senseless cacophonies, verbal jumbles and incoherences?"
Unfortunately, there is no neon sign highlighting worthy information that flashes "TRUTH TRUTH TRUTH." Neither should readers take my writings nor any other Foolish Four column as gospel. The concepts spelled out here daily seem to make sense to us, but others have argued otherwise.
Deciphering the Library seems to require a hefty dose of equal parts common sense, independent thought, and the diligence to ask questions until satisfied. Our message boards can help sort things out quite a bit. Just keep on reading and questioning.

Citation: Tzanetakis, I.E., Postman, J.D., Martin, R.R. 2006. Molecular characterization and epidemiology of Mint virus 2, a new member of the genus Vitivirus. Panhellenic Phytopathogical Conference. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Three viruses have been identified in the ornamental mint clone Mentha x gentilis L. 'Variegata'. Several 'Variegata' clones were ordered from nurseries in the United States to identify a virus consistently associated with symptoms. One clone did not show typical symptoms and steps were taken to identify the agents that may be involved in the novel symptomatology. This communication focuses in one of the three viruses found in the off-type clone, named hereafter as Mint virus 2 (MV2). The majority of the genome has been sequenced and phylogenetic analysis revealed the close relationship of the virus to members of the genus Vitivirus. Purification of the virus has been proven recalcitrant and only few virions were visible under the electron microscope. MV2 shares many features with Grapevine viruses A and B, including several epitopes in the coat protein genes, but antibodies against the two grapevine viruses did not cross-react with MV2 in ELISA assays. The virus can be transmitted with the mint aphid in the presence of the closterovirus Mint virus 1 while transmissions assays from MV2 single infected plants are underway.
