Businessman pays €310,000 for racing pigeon
A Chinese businessman has paid a world record 310,000 euros for a Belgian pigeon, highlighting Asia's huge and growing interest in racing birds.
The one-year-old award-winning pigeon named Bolt was bred by Belgian pigeon fancier Leo Heremans, a well-known name to pigeon enthusiasts, who sold his entire collection of 530 birds for 4.3 million euros at an auction over the weekend.
"You can compare it to artwork. A painting made by Picasso is worth more than one made by an unknown artist. It's the same with this pigeon," Nikolaas Gyselbrecht of pigeon auction site PIPA said.
Because the bird was still young, its new Chinese owner could use it for breeding for at least another eight years, Gyselbrecht said.
Although the event attracted interest from 27 countries, nine of the 10 most expensive racing pigeons sold at the auction were purchased by clients from China and Taiwan,

not be done in the presence of developers or programmers. Keep the demonstration running smoothly by providing an outline to the attendees. Be sure to notify the developers or programmers when this demonstration is taking place so a testing area is available. Finally, never blame a developer or programmer in front of a group when a feature or function does not work or look as expected. Comments like "I guess Harry forgot to fix this" do nothing but harm. Always offer to take issues to appropriate persons and report back on the progress. Don't be tempted to sacrifice integrity for short-term payoff.
Communication before Delivery
Quality Assurance should clear the path so that developers and programmers can openly discuss snags in the project and offer alternatives. It is important to realize the best window of opportunity is after the request has been made and before the delivery is complete. Delivering without a feature or function or with a questionable alternative is a symptom of poor planning and communication.
A final note: Holding to the requested features is not about inhibiting innovation. Users are best equipped to tell you what they need. It will be a test of understanding their needs, and of communication skills, to implement real innovations.

Ingersoll Rand Foundation donates $25,000 to WWU Energy Program
Contact: Brian Sibley, Western Washington University Campaign Communications manager, (360) 650-2273 or firstname.lastname@example.com
BELLINGHAM –Western Washington University has received a gift of $25,000 from the Ingersoll Rand Foundation. Ingersoll Rand is a world leader in creating and sustaining safe, comfortable and efficient environments and includes Trane, a leading global provider of indoor comfort systems and services, among its family of brands. The grant from the Ingersoll Rand Foundation will help fund the development of an energy program at WWU.
"We are pleased to help WWU pioneer this program," said Warren Michelsen, district general manager of Northwest-Hawaii Trane district. "As a company we are committed to helping our customers reach their goals for sustainability and energy conservation. This program will prepare its graduates to be leaders in the clean energy economy. We're honored to support the innovation and initiative they've demonstrated and pleased to collaborate in helping guide the launch of this ambitious program."
The energy program will continue Western's tradition of research innovation, environmental leadership and commitment to undergraduate education. Three colleges within the University – the College of Business and Economics, the College of Sciences and Technology, and Huxley College of the Environment – have collaborated to produce a program that harnesses expertise from throughout the campus.
In addition, Ingersoll Rand, through its Trane brand in Redmond, Wash., will offer an Energy Business/Project Development internship to a WWU student each summer. The internship program will allow a student from the energy program to spend 12 weeks working with Trane Commercial Systems energy professionals to help identify market segments and customers with potential energy projects. These students will also participate in the development of energy conservation measures.
"Our sincere hope is that the students we select for these internships will be able to compete for jobs within our growing energy service company (ESCO) business after they graduate," said Michelsen.
Trane recently launched a new program that will develop, engineer, procure, construct and assist in project financing of renewable energy and other power generation solutions.
"We are excited to leverage our resources and expand our offerings to help organizations better manage their rising electricity and thermal costs, and reduce their carbon footprint. Universities like WWU are a perfect organization to collaborate with to build a greener, brighter future," said Vince Canino, vice president of the Renewable Energy and Power Solutions at Trane.
All three colleges are nationally recognized for their outstanding academic programs and demonstrated educational excellence. This multi-college program will support interdisciplinary learning while fostering an approach to problem solving that encourages cross-discipline thinking. Research will cover a wide range of investigation related to clean and renewable energy and energy efficiency.
Planning for the program includes future bachelor's degrees, as well as a minor in science and technology and a minor in policy, economics and business. Students will gain core competencies in energy related science, policy, technology, economics and business and have opportunities to participate in energy research with nationally recognized faculty mentors. Graduates of the program will be uniquely prepared to enter the workforce as leaders, equipped with the knowledge, skills and applied expertise demanded by this dynamic and evolving sector of the global economy.
"Western has always been a university that educates people who have the ability to think across disciplines," said Catherine Riordan, provost and vice president of Academic Affairs, for WWU. "This program will continue that proud tradition."
The grant from Ingersoll Rand Foundation will help guide the launch of this new program. While many of the program's elements are in place, funding like this is critical at this stage, because it will help build the capacity within the institution to keep the program's growth on track. Western has already secured funding from other regional players in the burgeoning clean energy field such as Puget Sound Energy.
Both Western and Ingersoll Rand are nationally recognized leaders in the area of clean and renewable energy. Western is now ranked 17th on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) list of the nation's top 20 higher education green energy purchasers. It's the only college or university in the state of Washington to make the list. Each year, WWU offsets 100 percent of its electrical energy consumption from green sources, by buying renewable energy credits (RECs).
About Ingersoll Rand: Ingersoll Rand (NYSE:IR) is a world leader in creating and sustaining safe, comfortable and efficient environments in commercial, residential and industrial markets. Ingersoll Rand's people and their family of brands — including Club Car®, Ingersoll Rand®, Schlage®, Thermo King® and Trane® — work together to enhance the quality and comfort of air in homes and buildings, transport and protect food and perishables, secure homes and commercial properties, and increase industrial productivity and efficiency. Trane solutions optimize indoor environments with a broad portfolio of energy efficient heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, building and contracting services, parts support and advanced control. Ingersoll Rand is a $14 billion global business committed to sustainable business practices within our company and for our customers. For more information, visit www.ingersollrand.com

Ready for the Lucifer Challenge?
In the St. Paul episode of Man v. Food Nation, Adam travels around the city to sample authentic Neapolitan pizza and a baked potato topped with BBQ sides. He ends his visit by coaching Jon Wolf in the Lucy Challenge at Tin Cup's. We wanted to learn more about the bar/restaurant and their Lucifer Challenge, so we chatted with co-owner Joan Knippenberg.
For 50 years, Tin Cup's was a Rice Street institution in St. Paul. The original owner was Rudy Tschida and the restaurant remained in his family for a long time. After several owners and some time closed, the place was purchased by first-time restaurateurs Darren and Debbie Wolke. They renovated and re-launched the place in 2010. When rumors of its closing began to surface again, Joan and her friend Gidget Bailey went to talk with the Wolkes. As Joan describes it, she and Gidget had been thinking about buying a bar and after speaking with the owners, they decided to buy Tin Cup right then and there.
Joan and Gidget took ownership of Tin Cup's in June 2011. Joan says it is hard work and long hours, but they wouldn't trade it for anything. They want Tin Cup's to be a place where anyone who is 21 or older can come and have fun while feeling safe. Tin Cup's wants to be a part of the community; Joan and Gidget have been participating in events like the Rice Street Festival and Old Timers Fast Pitch Tournament.
For their premiere on the October 5 episode of Man v. Food Nation the restaurant is having a red carpet party complete with a red carpet, wine promotions and red velvet cupcakes with chocolate Oscars on top. They are also introducing the Mini Tinis which are sliders of each of their 6 Juicy Lucys.
All About the Challenge
The Lucy Challenge is 2, 1-lb. Lucifer Juicy Lucys with 2-lbs. of fries. It needs to be eaten in 45 min to win the challenge. Let's go back, for those who don't know about Juicy Lucys (like me). A Juicy Lucy is 2 quarter pound patties pressed together with filling in the middle. Tin Cup's has 6 different types and are working on a pizza version with pepperoni and mozzarella. The Lucifers have Pepper Jack cheese, jalapenos and a special Diablo sauce which is a mixture of several hot sauces. Joan says it looks small and innocent, but the Lucifers have quite a kick.
The Lucy Challenge was something that Joan and Gidget inherited from the previous owners, but they like having the food challenge. Since they have been owners, 2 others have attempted the challenge including professional eater Randy Santel, who did it in 10 minutes, 45 seconds. Will Jon Wolfe be added to the list of successful Lucy Challenge winners? Tune in to find out!

Laina was barking like a dog in the living room the other day when Pat's sister was in town.
Laina's been alive on this planet for 7 years now and of those seven years she's been obsessed with dogs for…ohhhh…all of them.
Pat's sister later told Laina, "I heard you barking in the living room and you sounded just LIKE a dog. I thought there might have been two dogs in the house because you imitated it so well."
Laina was all, "Well that's cause I love dogs so much!"
And Aunty was all. "You know Laina? I can tell you love all animals. You have a big heart and I see that you love all animals so much!"
Laina smiled, because it's true and it felt like the kind of thing she might remember forever. You know when things get silent when a person is telling you something important and they just stick with you forever?
The way that Aunty sounded so wise and thoughtful with her words for Laina, I smiled to myself as I felt them sink in.
Not more than five minutes later Laina was all "Mom guess what?" and I was all "what?" waiting for her to tell me about her beautiful heart and her love for all animals.
And then she was all, "I sound JUST LIKE a dog!!"
I'm glad the important lessons are sticking.

Valero eyes fight at 140
By Hilmar Rojas Erazo
Once again WBC lightweight champion Edwin Valero won by knockout. This time, in the second defense of his green and gold belt, he dispatched interim champion Antonio DeMarco in the ninth round on Saturday night at the Arena Monterrey. Billed as "La Gran Batalla" or "The Great Battle," the fight was seen by U.S. fight fans on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING, as well as Televisa in Mexico, and Golden Cable System and Meridian TV in Venezuela. In the ring, Valero carried out what he had planned to do in the gym during months of preparation: overcome his opponent's height, not let him fight from long range, wear him out and break his spirit. Except for suffering a large gash on his right temple and a cut on his right eyelid, everything went pretty much perfectly as a badly beaten DeMarco did not come out for round ten and Valero cutman Mario Morales did a good job stopping the bleeding.
After the match, the classy DeMarco went to the locker room of the champion and thanked him for the opportunity to fight for the world title. "You're a great champion, I wish you the best not only in the ring but outside as well," he said.
"I demonstrated once again that I am a boxer, that I do side steps, and I'm technical. I've never said it, but all my team and the people around me know that I can box. It's just that a majority of the fights have been against boxers who have gone out early," said Valero moments after having his cut sutured up.
He added that he would ask permission from the WBC to take an optional fight at 140 pounds and WBC secretary Mauricio Sulaiman didn't object saying it very possibly could be approved. "I hope that it can be in Texas against the "Baby Bull" Diaz so I can prove I have power in this weight catagory."

Guess what March 14th is…it's Pi Day. That's because the date is 3.14.
How cool is that.
It's also a great excuse, err I mean reason, to create some wonderful diversions from your homeschool routine.
Here are some fun activities for celebrating that awesome, infinite number…Pi.
Making the Pie
What would Pi Day be without the pie, right? Making a pie is a great activity for kids and teens alike. Cooking is a way for them to see how math used is in daily life. So enjoy making a pie or two or maybe 3.14 like we did.
More Food
You've made the pie. That's for dessert (or breakfast like we did). Now how about throwing in some other circular foods for the rest of the day's meals. Here are some suggestions.
- Circular cereal (like the ones whose names end in "os")
- Round fruit like oranges or blueberries
- Bagels with cream cheese or chicken salad or pb&j
- Sandwiches cut round with cookie cutters (this is a favorite for those kids who don't like crust)
- Round crackers with peanut butter or cheese spread or hummus
- Sliced cucumbers, pickles, or carrots
- Tortillas
- Pizza
That should pretty much fill up your day with a set of well-rounded meals. 🙂 Let's see what else you can do.
Circular Art
Kids can have a lot of fun with circles in art. Household items such as cans, butter tubs, bowls and cups can be used to help your children draw a near perfect circle. Or they can make circles free hand. Here are some projects to make.
A Circle Collage is simple to make. Give your child a 12″x18″ piece of construction paper. This will be the base. Have her cut out circles in a variety of sizes from other construction paper, wallpaper, scrap booking paper, or old magazines. Tell her to arrange them on the large piece of construction paper anyway she likes. She can overlap them, put them in a pattern, or be completely random with them. After they are laid out the way she wants, she can glue them on with a glue stick or white glue. Voila! A work of art in less than an hour.
Older children can make beautiful patterns by drawing circles with a compass. My daughter created the picture below. These lovely mathematical pictures can be left as pencil drawings or be colored in with crayon, colored pencil, or marker.
A younger child can make a Pie Tin Face with circular objects. Give him a disposable pie tin and some glue. Then supply him with assorted round objects such as pom poms, spools, paper circles, round sequins, buttons, pipe cleaners made into circles, and beads. Let him arrange these objects into facial features and glue them on. Here's my example. (I'm probably not so artistically inclined as your child)
Scavenger Hunt
How about letting your kids do a scavenger hunt around your house for circular objects? Just give each child a clipboard, paper, and pencil. Tell them to find as many objects around the house as they can that have circles (no ovals) and write them down.
Let them know that they have to be specific. They can't just write down lampshade. They have to write down something like "the lampshade on the floor lamp in the living room."
Objects that are the exactly the same like the soup bowls in your cupboard can only be listed once.
Set a time limit for 15 minutes and let them go. Whoever gets the most right answers wins a prize.
History Connection
There is some interesting trivia related to pi and Pi Day. See if you can find the answers to these questions.
- Who was the first person to call the ratio of the perimeter to the diameter of a circle pi?
- Which ancient Greek mathematician made the first theoretical calculation of pi?
- What day is Einstein's birthday?
- Who created Pi Day?
I'll put the answers to these on the LearningOnlineBlog Facebook page on Pi Day. Come on by and take a peek.
Did you find this post inspirational? Or at the very least, helpful? Feel free to share it with friends.

Paul Pillar writes in the Foreign Affairs journal that the White House used the intelligence to justify a decision it had already reached.
Mr Pillar was the national intelligence officer for the Near East and South Asia from 2000 to 2005.
The Bush administration has yet to respond to Mr Pillar's accusations.
The White House has previously denied claims that it manipulated intelligence to gather support for the war.
'Ill will'
"Official intelligence on Iraqi weapons programmes was flawed, but even with its flaws, it was not what led to the war," Mr Pillar writes.
Instead, he says that the White House "went to war without requesting - and evidently without being influenced by - any strategic-level intelligence assessments on any aspect of Iraq".
"It has become clear that official intelligence analysis was not relied on in making even the most significant national security decisions, that intelligence was misused publicly to justify decisions already made, that damaging ill will developed between policymakers and intelligence officers, and that the intelligence community's own work was politicised," Mr Pillar writes.
He also blames the Bush administration for ignoring warnings that Iraq could easily fall into violence and chaos after the war to topple Saddam Hussein.
"In a deeply divided Iraqi society, with Sunnis resentful over the loss of their dominant position and Shia seeking power commensurate with their majority status, there was a significant chance that the groups would engage in violent conflict," Mr Pillar writes.
His comments come in a website preview of the March/April issue of Foreign Affairs, which is published by the Council of Foreign Relations.
The council is an independent US body aimed at improving understanding of foreign affairs.

I had been to Obedience Trials in the past but I didn't like it. I know how to do all that Obedience stuff but Strangers were always wanting to come up and touch me. How Rude!! I finally figured out if I embarrassed my Moms enough they would stop making me go. The last time I went to an Obedience Trial I licked myself (in that place where only dogs can lick) for the entire time I was supposed to be sitting. Never again did I have to go and show off for a Stranger with a clipboard.
I knew something was up because we had started practicing Obedience like we used to do a long time ago. Then I had to go to the Vet's and get shots ( well okay I had to have that done anyway but I am still going to blame it on the Obedience thing) Then I went and had a Bath I really knew then that something was up.
My Mom came home from work on Saturday night and started putting papers and collars and treats and her camera in her bag. I knew for sure I was going somewhere when she put my leash in the bag. I saw her pick it up and I ran over and jumped around cuz I know anytime Treats and my leash are involved we must be going somewhere fun!! And then she went to bed?!? Huh?!? What's the deal with that. I decided I needed to sleep in the bed with her in case she decided to sneak out in the middle of the night.
We got up when it was still dark time and then when my Mom was ready, me and my Big, Black, Hairy, Belgian brother Laser headed out the door. My other Mom came and picked us up and we got into the car and headed out. I am the most special dog because there wasn't enough room for me to be in a crate so I got to ride in the back seat with my Mom.
We got to this place with lots of other dogs, and rings set up for them to walk in. I recognized this place right away. My Mom put me in a crate so she could get situated and go and watch my other Mom make Apache do obedience. I barked and snarled at dogs that walked by my crate so my Mom moved me and covered me with a sheet. Besides not liking it when Strangers touch me I really don't like when other dogs look at me when I am in a crate. I feel so helpless.
My Mom took me out for a walk in the smelly grass and then we went back inside. I had to wait in my crate for a little while and then my Mom came and got me. Boy was I happy to see her. She walked me to the Obedience Rings and I followed her in. But this was different kind of Obedience?!??! We got to walk where we wanted as long as we stayed to the right of the orange cones, I saw a Clipboard Person in the ring with us but she never came near us. We did all kinds of Obedience walking just like we practice in class and at home and my Mom was talking to me and telling me how good I was doing. I was telling my Mom how good she was doing too by wagging my tail. Finally we got to run out of the Ring where I had many admirers clappinng for me (of course I deserved it) I got some yummy yummy treats. Then we had to go back into the Ring but my brother Laser got to come with us this time. All we had to do was sit there but my Mom was really happy and the Clipboard Lady gave her 2 Green Ribbons and a Red one and a Yellow one. Mine was Red because I am always better then the Hairy Wolfboy. I kinda like this Rally Thing....I might even do it again.
I hate getting a bath. It is so dumb that my mom thinks I need to have a bath. I don't think I am dirty...I don't think I smell...I don't know why my mom is all the time thinking that I need a bath.
At least my mom takes me to this place where she can bathe me herself instead of sending me off to the groomers. That way I can retaliate by shaking every time I get soaped up.
But the part I really hate is when people walk by me and talk to me...I don't like strangers in the first place, but when they walk by me and talk to me when I am being humiliated by getting a bath is just about the worse thing in the world.
And just when I think it is almost over my mom then starts hitting me with the air thingy. I hate the air thingy...it is loud, noisy, and scary.
The only thing good about getting a bath is that my mom likes to snuggle with me alot when we are through...I like that part
My moms are obsessed with Bluebonnets. All the time they are taking me and my brothers or sisters to sit in the middle of these dumb flowers while they run around us saying "Stay-Stay" What the heck!?! I don't know about this game, I did get treats but still it wasn't much fun.
And did I mention the ride to get to the stoopid flowers?? I ~ Deuce!! Had to ride in a crate in the car. Did Sierra my annoying sister have to ride in the crate?? Noooo She got to ride loose in the car and sit by moms. Did "Loco" Laser my crazy brother have to ride in a crate? Noooo He was loose in the back of the car (okay well his leash was tied but still he wasn't in a crate) I know we just had to go a short way and it is safer for me to be in the crate but still what was the deal with that?
I really think I deserved a trip to Petco for a bone or some kind of payment for my modeling job. I am so unappreciated.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Simon Morley, an apathetic advertising man in New York City, is confronted one morning by a stranger with a mysterious and secretive proposal -- to participate in a fledgling time-travel experiment. The idea? By shutting himself off from the 20th century and fully immersing himself in action, thought and dress in an environment indistinguishable from that of 1882, Morley would be able to transport himself, purely by self-hypnosis, into the past. His advisors are adamant, however, that Morley make no attempt to alter any past events, as the ramifications are still uncertain.
This 1970 novel holds up surprisingly well nearly 50 years later -- I was entertained throughout. The author must have spent a fair amount of time researching late 19th-century New York, the minutiae of which were as fascinating, if not more, than the plot itself. The inclusion of sketches and photos, reportedly created by Morley himself, lend a scrapbook-style charm.
This was a pretty good sci-fi time travel tale; reminded me in many ways of Richard Matheson's Somewhere in Time (a watered down film of the same name with Christopher Reeve as well as a better book!). As in that book, Finney's character Si Morley, formerly of the Army and now in a dead-end job, gets drafted to try to become one of the first to go back in time.
He discovers he's been drafted into a secret US Government project and everything is fine when he, through hypnosis, finds himself in 1882 New York. What's fun about the book is the extreme descriptions of that era, complete with photos and drawings that Si Morley draws or shoots and tells the reader about it.
The government though has some pretty crazy ideas of how to use this power. Now that Si has made friends with that time period and even a woman, Julia, becoming his amore, he is not too keen on following the government plan.
Besides the character development, Finney really gets into extreme description, to the point of boredom at times. Several pages to describe the government facility was a bit much. And, I would have liked to have read of the experiences of his fellow time-travelers, though they were not that successful.
Overall, quite entertaining. Easy enough read. Give it a try. Finney also wrote Invasion of the Body Snatchers!
The first half of this book went slowly, with all the problems I have learned to expect in science fiction of that era. It got better, and I enjoyed the second half.
Six-word review: Imagination takes flight across the decades.
Extended review:
Recruited as a subject for an extremely secret government project, commercial artist Simon Morley bridges the interval from the New York City of 1970 to the same city as it was in 1882. How his life and those of others change as a result is the plot of the novel, which blends mystery and romance with the ever-intriguing theme of time travel. There's a nice twist at the end.
The author isn't shy about revealing his fascination with the everyday sights and events of New York in the late nineteenth century; in fact, at times it seems as if his whole purpose were to show off the extent of his research. He has an ability to bring the period and place to life, as if he himself had seen it first hand, making us feel as though we were seeing it too. Finney's use of contemporary illustrative art, photographs, and newspaper stories lends authenticity to his very evocative rendition of time and place. If at times it does seem to grow long, I think perhaps that's only a matter of my own twenty-first-century impatience, cultivated by an environment in which a five-second computer response time is referred to as "forever."
One of the most interesting aspects of this story, however, is almost certainly outside the author's design: namely, his depiction of a major U.S. city in the late middle of the twentieth century. In 1970, Richard Nixon was president; the Cuban missile crisis and the Kennedy assassination were events in recent memory; the Civil Rights movement was in progress, although (to judge from the author's use of language: young women are all "girls") women's liberation had a long way to go in raising public consciousness; pollution was already a major issue, but computers were still a novelty, and small electronic devices were science fiction. In contrasting 1882 with 1970, Finney shows us a period 46 years ago that seems calmer and safer than 2016, even though in so many ways it already felt dark and dangerous at the time.
This is not a heavy or especially serious book, although it has its moments (and there are a few little questions of logic and continuity). It's mostly just an entertaining fantasy, with an extra dose of verisimilitude to make us feel as if we'd been there. And that we might want to go again.
A very interesting read. I highly recommend it.The author transplants you back to early NYC.
Time and Again sends out a huge valentine to the past. It's nostalgic and there's something deliciously comforting and escapist in its promise of a New York Eden.

Did illustrator Si Morley really step out of his twentieth-century apartment one night -- right into the winter of 1882? The U.S. Government believed it, especially when Si returned with a portfolio of brand-new sketches and tintype photos of a world that no longer existed -- or did it?

Figure HC-2 shows the number of complaints from consumers that the Alaska's Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman opened for investigation. Most of the complaints were about assisted living homes and nursing homes.
The majority of complaints have related to problems in assisted living facilities. The top three complaints in 2011 have been problems with medication administration and management, injuries/falls/improper handling, and shortage of staff.
The number of complaints received and the number of cases opened for investigation have both increased. Currently it is not known if the increases in complaints reflect increased problems, increased number of long term care facilities, larger number of seniors in long term care, or increased public awareness of options for reporting, (Long Term Care Ombudsman's Office, email 6/8/11)

The mean shape of the human cornea
Kiely, Patricia M., Smith, George, & Carney, Leo G. (1982) The mean shape of the human cornea. Optica Acta, 29(8), pp. 1027-1040.
The anterior surface of the cornea is the major refracting element in the human eye. Knowledge of its shape and the variation of this shape throughout the population are important in calculations of the corneal contribution to ocular aberrations. Since the cornea is the surface on which the contact lens rests, the corneal shape is also of importance in contact lens design. this paper presents results of the fitting of a conicoid equation to corneal shape data derived from a precision photokeratoscope. Both rotationally symmetric and non rotationally symmetric form of the conicoid equation were developed. The results show that if the cornea is regarded as a rotationally symmetric conicoid, the conicoid is ellipsoidal but with insufficient asphericity to eliminate spherical aberration for distance vision. More importantly, the results show that the cornea is significantly asymmetric in both radius of curvature and asphericity

Writer, existentialist philosopher and feminist icon Simone de Beauvoir would have been 106 today.
Google is honouring the event by posting a doodle painting of her on its home page.
The Parisian, who died in 1986, published over 20 books in her lifetime.
One of the most crucial of these was The Second Sex, a text considered as the starting point of second wave feminism.
Below are some of her best quotes:
-"Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future, act now, without delay. "
-"One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman."
-"Few tasks are more like the torture of Sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled, the soiled is made clean, over and over, day after day. The housewife wears herself out marking time: she makes nothing, simply perpetuates the present … Eating, sleeping, cleaning – the years no longer rise up towards heaven, they lie spread out ahead, grey and identical. The battle against dust and dirt is never won."
-"Each of us is responsible for everything and to every human being."
-"One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others."
-"We must not confuse the present with the past. With regard to the past, no further action is possible."
-"There is only one solution if old age is not to be an absurd parody of our former life, and that is to go on pursuing ends that give our existence a meaning."
-"To emancipate woman is to refuse to confine her to the relations she bears to man, not to deny them to her; let her have her independent existence and she will continue nonetheless to exist for him also: mutually recognising each other as subject, each will yet remain for the other an other...when we abolish the slavery of half of humanity, together with the whole system of hypocrisy that it implies, then the 'division' of humanity will reveal its genuine significance and the human couple will find its true form."
-"There is only one good. And that is to act according to the dictates of one's conscience."
-"To catch a husband is an art; to hold him is a job."

Tandem Breakers vs Capacity
This is the first question for me and I apologize if is has been previously answered. My home is equipped with 2 ea Challenger 200 amp 20 slot main panels ( 400 amp service) with a total of 40 slots. I am in the process of completing a total load calculation for my home. When the home was built 15 years ago, the electrician told me that he had installed many circuits so that we would never experience the dreaded light flicker, etc. He unfortunately used up all 40 1" slots. I would like to add additional circuits in the unfinished portion of my home for lights, standard 110v hand power tools, and general use receptacles. Assuming the existing loads are far from capacity, how many tandem BR2020/ BR1515 breakers can be legally/practically installed in the panel boxes? I noticed that the Challenger 200 amp Panel came in 20, 30, & 40 1" slot sizes. Thank you for your response.
You have to read the inside of the panel to see if yu can mini the panel. Even if you can your best bet probably would be to put a sub panel off one of the 200's. Its all about draw now how many amps your panel is rated for:)
After looking at the the label on the covers, I did not see any reference to "Mini". However, for branch circuits, the label lists Type A, C, HAGF, GFCH where Type C is 1 pole and Type A is 2 poles. The " typical wiring diagram" on the cover shows a 30 slot main panel with the 1st 10 slots each side as Type C and the bottom 5 slots on each side with 5 Type A breakers.
Assuming that I install a sub panel, how far away from a utility sink does it have to located? Available wall space in the utility/mechanical room is at a premium.
Thanks for your previous answer.
I wish I had my book with me but if I recall you have to give yourself 3' of clearance on each side. Just make sure you have no water pipes above the 3' window. Or you could always mount the panel under one of the other panels if that is easier.
400 amp service. That alot of juice for a house. Whats your square footage?????
If you cannot understand the markings in your panels then contact the manufacturer and see how many tandems are allowed and where they go. Use a sub panel as last resort.
If you plan on adding alot of circuits to your house or putting on an addition to your house your better off with the sub panel IMHO.
Thanks for the interest in my question. We have approximately 6000 conditioned sf with another 800 sf of shop area and 900 sf of attached garage. The two existing finished floors are 4400 sf with a couple circuits utility/light circuits in the unfinished (2400 sf with shop) area. I would like to finish the downstairs and anticipate more circuits (10 or so). Unfortunately the panels are Challenger nla so no help from supply sources or pdf. files. The Cutler Hammer BR series breakers are the proper replacement. Obviously, when I spec'd the 400 amp service, I wanted room to grow and add circuits. As I have previously stated, I can't determine if the panel is restricted to 20 1" breakers or 40 1/2" breakers ( 20 tandems) or a combo of the normal 20 and 10.
I'm not doing anything unusual, just a 4BR/ 4 1/2 bath with an unfinished lower level to become a hobby room, shop area, large den, BR & bath. I have recently replaced my old 2 gas water heaters with 2 Rinaii tankless heaters, and the cooktop is gas. So the major demand is a 50 amp dbl oven circuit, 30 amp clothes dryer, 50 amp main floor AC, 30 amp upstairs AC, and 20 amp lower level AC. We have a lot of 15 amp can light circuits, and a lot of 20 amp receptacle circuits including GFCI for kitchen and baths. I am compiling appliance rating data to plug into the NEC ampacity worksheet to determine available capacity.
6000 sq/ft??? You must have a BIG family!
often, the panel designation will include the number of circuits it will hold. Something in the line of a XXXXX30/40 or such. Can you give us the panel model?
depending on what code cycle you are under, that may be irrelevent anyway. Up through the 05 code, you would be limited to 42 circuits. If under the 08 code that limitation was removed under most circumstances (don't have my 08 handy to tell you for sure but I believe your limitation would be removed).
From your description the panels can accept tandem breakers. I would not install a sub panel until all the available slots in your existing panels are used up.
An obscure conservative group in Tennessee claims to be offering up the utility bills on Al Gores 10,000-square-foot Nashville mansion.
The group cited some damning kilowatt-consumption figures 221,000 for the Gores in 2006, compared with the American average of 10,656.
Al is probably a billionaire. I seriously doubt he is a DIY'er.

The panels are Challenger SL 20(30-40) CT
200 AMP Max, Type I Enclosure
These panels were manufactured in 1993.
Actually, my wife and are empty-nesters. After putting our kids through college and getting them married off....college and weddings are sure expensive....its now time for US to pursue some quality time together. Yes we have too much house now, but we love it! Another 15 years and we'll cash it in for the "retirement home".
I did not see the designation as described on the label. I have taken a picture of the panel label and hopefully someone can "break the code." Please see the attachment. Thanks for all the interest and help!!:no:
You can install tandem breakers in the bottom 10 positions in that panel, for a total of 40 circuits.
Thanks to all of you who have responded!!!:yes:

Men's Cross Country Secures At-Large Bid to Join Women at Nationals
Nov. 10, 2012
INDIANAPOLIS – The Division I Men's and Women's Track and Field Committee announced the University of New Mexico's men's cross country team has secured an at-large bid into the 2012 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships to be held in Louisville, Ky., next Saturday. The men will join the women's team at the championships.
The No. 17 women's cross country team received an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship after finishing second to No. 13 Weber State at the Mountain Regional on Friday in Fort Collins, Colo. The 16th-ranked Lobo men earned an at-large bid after finishing fourth in the 10-kilometer race at the Mountain Regional.
The women's team is making its fifth straight appearance at the NCAA Championships and ninth overall, counting two trips to the AIWA championships. The Lobos finished ninth last year, fifth in 2010, 13th in 2009 and 18th in 2008 in their string of NCAA appearances under head coach Joe Franklin.
The men's team is making it eighth championship appearance, and fourth in a row. The men finished 31st last year, 16th in 2010 and posted a program-best tie for eighth in 2009.
31 teams were selected to participate in each championship. The top two, seven-person teams automatically qualified from each of the nine regions, for a total of 18 teams. Thirteen additional teams were selected at-large based off of those teams regular-season wins over other institution's squads.
Louisville will host the Championships on Saturday, Nov. 17, at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park in Louisville, Ky. The women's race will begin at 10 a.m. MT, followed by the men's race at 11:15 a.m. MT.

About MeI'm a photographer based in South East Melbourne. I'm currently concentrating on adding two new styles to my portfolio.
One is fashion in the street, where the model is placed in an everyday street scene but is made to stand out with lighting and styling.
The second is glamorous studio shots. I'm moving away somewhat from the style that I worked on last year which was a more natural look. This year I'm gonna glam it up.
If you're interested in working in either of these styles, or any other, please message me.

USPS Worker Drives Truck On Front Lawn To Deliver Mail [VIDEO]
Is this a new policy? A video posted on YouTube shows a USPS driver literally driving up to a person's doorstep to drop off a package. As in, the driver drove her USPS truck onto the front lawn, parking it right by the door step. You know, so the driver didn't have to take that long walk up the front sidewalk.
This has to be staged right?

Shiga toxin is an extremely potent toxin that is produced when the bacterium contains a bacteriophage carrying the toxin gene. It is closely linked with Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome and acute renal failure in children. After ingestion via contaminated food or water the E. coli bacteria colonize the gut and produce the toxin, which then crosses the gastrointestinal barrier to enter the systemic circulation and reach the kidney and other target organs. In this image, the toxin (green) has crossed into the intestine and is binding to the endothelial cells of the lamina propria (red).

What's the point of library fines?
Cambridge University has just announced a dramatic decrease in the money paid in library fines at the University Library. The amount paid by students, they say, went down from £27,635 in 2006-7, to £20,503 in 2007-8. This is said to be 'good news' and the reason is the new automated renewal system: you now get an email telling you that the book is about to become overdue and you can renew it online. You dont even have to set foot in the library.
That still didn't stop some eager students of the ancient world being caught out. Some young fan of Marco Fantuzzi and Richard Hunter coughed up £75 for Tradition and Innovation in Hellenistic Poetry (a fine volume, which they had presumably lost -- £75 being roughly what it costs). Another diligent young scholar had stumped up £96.59 for Gregory of Nyssa's, Homilies on the Beatitudes.
But is the fall in fines really such good news?
That depends on what you think fines are for.
One obvious answer to that question is that they are an income generating device. Think of something that everyone will do (drive at more than 30 miles an hour, commit adultery or -- in this case -- need a book for longer than a fortnight), charge money for it -- and hey presto you have a nice little income stream. On that model, this downturn is very bad news indeed. It means fewer books bought for the library.
Or it could be to keep books 'in circulation', and to stop any one individual hogging a particular title. Well here again we have bad news. The online renewal system means that it simply becomes easier and cheaper to 'hog'. In my own case, I have had Tony Harrison's Trackers of Oxyrhyncus out of my Faculty Library for more than two years now. It's in my room somewhere, but I dont know exactly where. Every time the email reminder comes, I renew it (though after this online cobfession that happy situation is likely to come to an end).
It seems to me that it's only good news if you think of fines a punishment -- and a decrease in them signals a decrease in malefaction. There always has been a bit of a sense that fines are levied on the 'naughty'. When I had once lost a book from the University Library (a crime about which I was terrified, though they were very nice), I was taken down to the bowels of the building to cough up the replacement cost -- and there I discovered that they had a computer database listing all the fines I had paid at the library for years. It was a bit like seeing your criminal record or the points on your licence. (In this case it showed the staff that I was not a persistent offender.)
Certainly when I was an undergraduate (not now...!), the people in the UL used to take what seemed like sadistic pleasure in levying the fine. One of them got splutteringly cross when I responded to the bill for £2.75 or whatever by saying that I didn't see it as a "fine" so much as an "extended use fee". He nearly doubled it on the spot.
Perhaps the real truth here is that librarians have just got nicer.

Serato, makers of pro DJ software Serato Scratch and Serato ITCH, has taken a show across the bows of both Traktor LE and Virtual DJ LE with its latest DJ software launch, Serato DJ Intro. (Update Nov 1 2012: It's now also possible to upgrade this to Serato DJ.)
The new software, announced today, is designed to be packaged with beginner DJ controllers, a market that Traktor LE, but especially Virtual DJ LE, currently cater for. And in a simultaneous announcement, Numark - the biggest manufacturer of DJ controllers in the world - has confirmed that it will now package Serato DJ Intro with its lower-end controllers, meaning its complete range - from the humble Mixtrack right up to the NS7FX - now comes with Serato software.
As well as the Numark controller, Serato announced that the Vestax Typhoon and VCI-100 Mk II also work with the software, although it seems there's no four-deck support for the latter controller; this appears to be strictly a two-deck DJ solution.
We've yet to test Serato DJ Intro, but from the look if it, it is easy to use software with the main plus points of ITCH but without the complications of "pro" software. It comes with basic effects, cueing, and a four-sample sampler built-in, the latter apparently complete with Virtual DJ style air horns and explosions.
As with other Serato software, it is free to download, but only works when compatible hardware is plugged in.
Has Serato made a canny move by offering what is effectively a credible basic version of its ITCH software? What effect do you think this will have on Traktor and Virtual DJ? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Why do we have so many struggles, and !, then we are supposed to be JOYFUL about them !!! How can that be ? And after 67 years in , "the pew", and lots of Bible studies, and seaching of my own....Kay tells us how it is, and how to do it,,,according to the Word !!! Oh, how I wish that I had know all of this 60 years ago. !!!! How much smoother my life could have been ! I have purchased 10 more copies to give to friends, so that they can get to know these answers too. I wish that it would come out in paper back so that I could afford to give away more ! Thank you Kay, for writing the book, and letting us know what I have wanted to know for so long.....Thanks....

Many women (and men too) need a reminder that joy does not equal happiness, and that it is our choice to make. It's easy to be fearful today and to feel downhearted and discouraged. Choose Joy is an uplifting, encouraging and refreshing read.
Suzanne WesleyTerre Haute, INAge: 35-44Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5Great book for a women's small group studyJune 18, 2012Suzanne WesleyTerre Haute, INAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4I was unfamiliar with Kay Warren and her ministry, but I had previously participated in a small group that read through her husband Rick Warren's well-known book "Purpose Driven Life". I believe this book "Choose Joy: Because Happiness Isn't Enough" would also be best suited for a small group discussion environment. When I attempted to read it straight through in order to review it, I realized that this book would be much more effective if I had others to discuss the end of chapter questions with. Without that environment, some of the information seemed a little repetitive - but if it were broken up into separate readings over an extended period of time it would be more of a review, where one idea built upon another to complete the whole.
Kay is very up-front about her own struggles to be joyful even during life's difficult periods. She doesn't pretend that it isn't hard - that we can just mark 'yes, I want joy' and it will be ours and we will never face further difficulty in our lives. That would be mistaking happiness for joy ... Hardships will always come along, it's our choice how to receive them.
I would recommend this book for a women's small group - especially aiming to include Christians facing hard times, whether that be health issues, grief, financial struggles, a marriage in crisis, or any other life situation that can steal our happiness, but can be opportunities for growth and joy if we learn to see it.

How do bucketless AC units work?
I just ordered this unit: http://www.royalsovereign.com/products/view/35
This one as well as many others say they are "bucketless" or "self evaporating". How exactly does this work? Does the evaporated water go through the exhaust hose I hope? Or just in the air? Since if it just goes in the air, then it would never really dehumidify the room.
It likely works like a self-evaporating refrigerator.
Water from the unit is collected in the bottom of the unit in a large flat pan. Either using air blowing over the top to encourage evaporation (with a fan) or using heat (which most fridges use) the water that's collected is routinely evaporated away.
Since your unit will not run 24/7 - and therefor will not fill the pan 24/7 - the water will evaporate through the entire day even when your unit is not running.
With excessive use, though, the pan can become too full - but modern-units of all types (ac/fridge/etc) have monitors that will balance out the unit running with the evaporation so you won't have routine overflows.
Or - it will notify you if the reclamation pan becomes too full, requiring you to empty it.

RADIUS is establishing itself as a key hub of social innovation knowledge and networks at and beyond SFU. Our staff appear as speakers at important events such as the Social Enterprise World Forum, Ashoka U, and Social Venture Institute, and actively participate in sector advisory groups and committees such as BC Partners for Social Impact and the MaRS Community Finance Solutions program; we host sold out events including the SFU Changemaker Showcase and Social Venture Failure Wakes; we appear regularly in various media outlets; and we are increasingly focused on disseminating our approach and what we learn to help build the sector.
The RADIUS Way
All our work is grounded in a shared approach. What we call the 'RADIUS Way' demands Humility through human-centred solution design; Rigour through lean approaches to model testing and development; and maximizing Impact above all else in identifying problems and solutions to work on.
