Nations to fight "epidemic" of child drowning in Asia
DHAKA (Reuters Life!) - Child deaths by drowning have reached the proportion of an epidemic in Asia, with nearly 20,000 boys and girls dying in water each year in Bangladesh alone -- and the number keeps rising, studies say.
But some of the worst-hit countries are banding together to save the lives of young people, mostly children between the age of 1 to 17, with a three-day workshop scheduled to meet in Dhaka from next Saturday to hammer out strategies and reduce the toll.
An estimated 350,000 children drown in Asia every year, said Aminur Rahman, director of the International Drowning Research Center - Bangladesh (IDRC-B), the world's first to focus on combating child drowning in low to middle-income nations.
"Child drowning is a hidden epidemic in Asia and the issue goes largely under-reported," he said in a statement on Thursday. "The rate of drowning in Asia is around 20 times higher than in other developed countries," Aminur said.
"It's such a tragedy when a young life is taken away too early."
Experts, policy makers in the health and injury prevention fields from countries such as Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, Denmark and Bangladesh will gather in Dhaka.
Representatives from government agencies, development partners and national and international NGOs will also take part.
Bangladesh is criss-crossed by hundreds of rivers and canals that still serve as the main ways of transporting people and goods, while the floods that sweep the country almost every year is a boon for its agriculture.
But they also take many lives that the government and agencies like the IDRC-B are trying to protect. Continued...

Orthodox gays in Israel find support in Web site
By Ari Rabinovitch
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An underground movement of gay Orthodox Jews in Israel has created a Web site to help homosexuals cope with living in a strict, religious community that is often hostile to their lifestyle.
The site is the first public forum in the Jewish state where gay members of the Orthodox community can seek support and advice.
Orthodox Jewish law views homosexual acts as a sin and people in the religious communities are often scared to admit publicly they are gay, fearing harassment or banishment.
Thousands of people have visited the site since it was launched about two weeks ago, said Rabbi Ron, one of the Web site's founders, who asked that his last name not be disclosed.
"Jewish law forbids the homosexual act, but it says nothing about orientation... The Web site can offer advice on an individual basis on how to live as a gay man according to Jewish law in the community," said Ron, a 33-year-old Orthodox rabbi who said his congregation was unaware he was gay.
"It's meant to show that you are not alone."
Called HOD -- which in Hebrew means glory, but is written as an abbreviation for "religious homosexuals" -- the Web site is directed only at gay males. There is a separate Internet community for Orthodox Jewish lesbians.
The Web site has received hundreds of letters from Orthodox gay men, including some who are married and have families. It offers information and dialogue about dealing with homosexuality while living as a pious Jew. Continued...

This is an English rendering of the classical text on yoga and meditations that maintains the poetic forms of the sutras. Patanjali is to Yoga what Buddha is to Buddhism. His sutras- scriptural narratives sometimes defined as literally "the path to transcendence"- are a darshan, or philosophical worldview and method to aid the awakening of self-realization. Patanjali reveals a set of landmarks that enable practitioners to lift the veils and study the hidden self, eventually following this path to enlightenment.

Category: naming rituals
As many of you know, I'm a good half Greek, but as not too many of you know, the other half of me is Choctaw and Cherokee Native American. Today, I'll focus on Cherokee names and naming rules and next time we'll look at Choctaw.
Cherokee has its own alphabet and its own naming rules, much like any other language. For example: There are no Cherokee sounds for the letters B, F, P, R, V, X, Z, SH, or TH. Cherokee speakers replace them with the lettesr QU so they would pronounce Rebecca "quay-quay-gah". SH becomes S, TH becomes T, R is sometimes L or QU (Mary would be may-lee), and KR/CR/CHR becomes QU so Chris becomes quiss.
In Cherokee, syllables end in vowels so if your name ends in a consonant, like Megan, you become Megana.
Guest blogger Hilary Zalon, founder of thecradle.com, explains the modern tradition of the Jewish naming ceremony for girls.
I have two wonderful daughters. And while I was never averse to having a little boy, I'm relieved that I was able to skip the Jewish ritual to welcome a son. In fact, the relatively new Jewish ceremony to welcome a daughter is much more up my alley.
If you're not Jewish, or aren't familiar with these traditions, here's a quick 101: The male ceremony is a 'brit milah' – also known as a bris – the ceremony for circumcising an eight-day-old boy. The female ceremony goes by a number of names, including 'simchat bat' (rejoicing of the daughter), all to celebrate…get this…naming your daughter!
No sharp implements. No rush to get a party together in eight days while recovering from the actual delivery of the baby. And we get to celebrate one of the most enjoyable parts of welcoming a baby – choosing a name. In this instance, we're celebrating the Hebrew name, so we get to pick even more names!
Many refer to a baby naming as a "modern" or "contemporary" tradition, and while there are signs that baby naming rituals happened hundreds of years ago, it really became a more recognized option for parents in the '70's (likely coinciding with the rise of feminism and the increase in bat-mitzvahs). Since it is so new (forty years is nothing when you're dealing with a history that's over 5,000 years old), it is still up to personal interpretation and the ceremony can really represent your family's personality and style.
We're not a very religious family, but we do have a strong pride in our heritage and our Jewish community. For both of our daughters, we waited until they were 9-10 months old, which is probably a lot longer than most people wait. Some parents have a naming ceremony just eight days after the birth (echoing the male circumcision ritual). Others say a blessing for their daughter when they are called to the Torah – sometimes as early as the first Sabbath after the birth.
At our event, the rabbi led a very simple and beautiful ceremony at our home, which included a welcome prayer, description of the ceremony, an explanation of the names we chose, a blessing for our daughter, and a blessing for everyone. As with most of our Jewish traditions, there is wine and food. Those two are always a hit. (Although finding good bagels in L.A. is still a struggle.)
As for the names we chose:
Our older daughter's given name is Sasha Leah (honoring my grandmother, Sylvia, and my husband's grandmother, Leah). The Hebrew name is traditionally the Hebrew name of the person she is named for. Since my grandmother didn't have a Hebrew name that was meaningful to her, we were able to choose a name that was actually a second-runner up to her given name. And her middle name was a no-brainer since her given middle name is already a Hebrew name. She received her Hebrew name, Sivan Leah, right after my dad joked, "Anyone want a slice of Sivan Leah cake?"
Our younger daughter is Esmé Juliette (for my grandmother, Eva, and my husband's grandfather, Jack). Ever since I read JD Salinger's Nine Stories in school, I was stuck on the name Esmé – but I hadn't read or seen any of the Twilight books or movies, so when I learned about the character named Esmé, my heart sank a bit – only out of a little sadness that this 'secret' gem of a name (actually popular in South Africa and a few European companies) might become more well known! Her Hebrew name, Chava Yael, was another half-given: Chava is the Hebrew name for Eva/Eve. But since her middle name was for a male, we felt we could choose any name we liked that started with a Y (the Hebrew alphabet doesn't use J's). We were able to avoid my father's imminent joke that her middle name should be 'Piece-a' so his granddaughters could be 'Chava Piece-a Sivan Leah' cake.

Today's guest blogger ALANA ODEGARD describes the joys and unique challenges of naming a baby in Iceland.
A version of this entry originally appeared on Iceland Review Online (http://icelandreview.com), an online magazine that Alana contributes to weekly.
When I first came to Iceland from Canada nearly six years ago, little did I know that it would be here, on this little island in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, where I would not only meet the man who would become my husband, but that I would give birth to my first child.
Life is full of surprises, as they say, and I couldn't be happier with the way things have turned out.
With my due date just around the corner, my husband and I are as prepared as any new parents can hope to be. We've taken the prenatal courses, set up the change table, the crib, the stroller, and have a drawer full of diapers at the ready.
So, what else do we need? Well, aside from the baby, of course, it would seem we need a name.
Naming your child may sound straightforward enough, but as it turns out, what should be simple tends to get complicated when one person is Icelandic and the other is, well, not.
Although I am pleased to say that my experience of being pregnant in a foreign land has been a positive one, certain restrictions, regulations, committees, ceremonies and language barriers have made choosing a name quite the eventful task.
Being from Canada, it's not unheard of for parents to have chosen and announced the name of their baby months before it's born. In the cases where the parents decide to keep the name to themselves until after birth, the name is among the very first bits of information that is passed along to friends and family.
But in Iceland, things are done quite differently. Generally a baby's name is not revealed until its official naming ceremony (often accompanied by a baptism). Legally, parents have up to six months to name their baby and it's not uncommon for a child to be "nameless" for this period of time.
Of course the parents may call their baby by its first name if they have chosen one, but it's kept a secret from other people. Everyone including grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, best friends, and even siblings must wait until the naming ceremony to find out the little one's name.
So, what do you call a baby with no name? Up until the naming ceremony babies are often referred to as drengir (boy), stúlka (girl), and elskan (an affectionate term like "honey" or "sweetheart"). The baby may also be called by its last name which is determined according to the Old Norse naming system. For example, if the father's first name is "Gunnar", the child's last name would either be Gunnarsson or Gunnarsdóttir depending on if it is a boy or a girl (the suffix "son" (son) is used if it is a boy and "dóttir" (daughter) if it is a girl).

Fast forward. I'm shopping for bras last weekend and I decided I'm ready to try this again. I really need to have the BR done to alleviate my neck pain but I very badly want a tummy tuck too!! I didn't think I could afford both but I decided to at least check it out. I had my mommy makeover consultation on April 23 with
Dr. Lacerna. I was so thrilled when I found out I could afford both!! I scheduled my surgery for July 7th...it seems so long to wait but I know it will be worth it!!!
Thanks for taking time to read this and best wishes to all of you! = )

If you choose to make compost with worms, do they absolutely have to be Red Wigglers, or is that just what she happened to choose?

That whole process with the worms was disgusting. I don't mind having worms, but swishing up the food looked gross.

Definitely getting that automatic composter.
- Lynne December 7, 2009
I definitely want to start composting. Isn't it mandatory in San Fransisco? I think that's a great way to reduce waste.
- Bart December 7, 2009
Sometimes I eat lunch at Whole Foods, and they have a composting bin right next to the trash and recycle bin. But I ALWAYS see trash in there! It's like people don't even know what composting is!!!!

I got one word for composting…gross. but I guess it's good for plants.
- Anthonie December 8, 2009
It is gross, but so is the waste in our landfill. Its a small price to pay to reduce your impact.
- ilovn8r December 8, 2009
I think we should do everything we can to reduce our impact. More places should be like San Fransisco and make composting mandatory. And for those of you who have plants, that's FREE fertilzer for you!

I personally want the Nature Mill composter– from what I've seen through my own research on the web, as well as through word-of-mouth, Nature Mill is the best choice–plus you can also choose your own color. My main reasons for this is partly because I don't want to have to go outside all the time to rotate a compost pile, plus I want to be able to collect the compost tea to feed to my indoor plants. Now I just have to save enough money to get one– they are not terribly expensive, but I don't think Santa's putting one for me under the Christmas tree this year either 🙂
- Junnie December 10, 2009
That globe looking thing that she's pushing looks like too much work! Composting isn't the easiest thing, but it also shouldn't have to be a work out!
- Moon Dawg December 10, 2009
Back home where I'm from, we do it the old-fashoned way– one big heaping pile that we throw a tarp over to keep from the elements. I gues it's good that now more people are takin an interest in this b/c it creates less waste and it's good for your crops or plants. If you want a fancy device then fine, but it's just as easy to DIY.

I've been using an outdoor composter (black plastic domed tub variety) for upwards of 7 years – works quite well. I have 20 indoor tubs that I've set up for vermicomposting in my community (and for selling the worms). They're only as grosse as you think they are. After spending as much time as I do with them, it not different than changing diapers on kids or picking up doggie doodoo. Vermicompost is quite different from regular garden compost since it contains extras that make more of a more claylike compost (sticks together well) whereas regular garden composting is looser. Try both methods – its cool to experiment.
- Roni Filla January 6, 2010
Worm composting is awesome, and use up daily food scraps, bread, banana peels, apple cores etc. I blended my worm food and poured it on like she did in the video. My worms were happy. I no longer have them contained. They are free in my garden doing their thing.
I like the big sphere the best on the stand for rotation. Yepper that is the one i would want. Now I just toss out all my scraps (bones and meat scraps go to the dogs) in a couple different areas of the garden and leave it to compost on its own. It works too, just that it takes longer, but the worms take care of it eventually. It would be better to be more compost efficient with one of the Composters. Everyone should be composting. There are so many affordably priced. Even for the kitchen counters, and non smelly ones with replaceable charcoal filters. It is not just that it is "GREEN"…but definitely good for our Earth's soil. No matter where we live.
- Paul Anderson January 6, 2010
I've been composting and organic gardening since the early 80's. One thing that you'll find is that more scraps, peels, cores, etc. are available for your composter if you eat more veggies . . . even more still if you grow as many of those in your own garden as you can. Benefit begets benefit.
I've had the local waste management company replace our large trash can with one much smaller and we still only trule discard a few things not compostable or recyclable. I've composted with simple piles or mounds and usually they work fine. I currently use a cube-shaped bin with a lid so there isn't any way for wild rodents or racoons to rumage through it.
I don't even complain if a neighbor's dog leaves a "gift" in my front garden. It get's turned into the composter and works itself right in.
Also don't forget you can add newspaper. paper towels, cardboard, etc. when lacking dry garden refuse in the "green" months.
Earth worms will find the composter, I don't find them.
Happy composting / gardening!
- Zaragoza Bill January 25, 2010
Great vid, funny and informative. I have been composting for years and echo the thoughts of some here about the simplicity and value of composting. It doesn't require a fancy do-hicky, only organic matter, oxygen and H2O. A periodic turning hastens the process, but otherwise nature normally takes her course and decomposition will occur in any case.
Re. questions about worms I found this on the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources website;
"The worms
Now comes the fun part — choosing your worms. No garden-variety worms for you. In fact, you'll want to avoid nightcrawlers and other garden worms, they don't survive well in a worm bin.
The best worms for vermicomposting are redworms. The redworm (Eisenia foetida or Lumbricus rubellus) also known as: red wiggler, manure worm, red hybrid, striped worm, fish worm. Whatever it's called, the redworm is the worm capable of reproducing quickly in captivity, while chomping copious quantities of food waste."
- DezDino July 6, 2010
Composting is by no means technical, it's actually super easy! Just throw all your food waste (besides meat and eggs) into something as simple as a hole in the ground. It just needs to have enough carbon so you'll need to throw in leaves, grass, sticks, and what have you. Bingo Bango a few months later, compost.

These options (except for the little monster-he's way cool) seem way way too expensive, energy consuming, and labor intensive. I've been composting for 20 years by simply burying food scraps in a convenient (near kitchen) part of the yard. All you need is a small pick to loosen, dig, and turn the soil. If you water every 3 days or so (I use excess shower & laundry water), and turn it a couple times, it should all be gone (decomposed) in 2-3 weeks. Chopping it up finer or freezing it first speeds up the process. I keep a milk carton in the fridge & when it's full I bury. Water compost when you do the garden & it's almost effortless. For subsequent composting, I just move to the area right next to it. 3 small areas is enough to do a constant rotation. My latest tomatoe plant sprouted out of the compost soil. I just let it grow and it's producing massive amounts of hothouse tomatoes daily! Yum!
- David Thompson June 5, 2012
Several people mention digging a hole and throwing food scraps in, then covering them with dirt. While this in theory is a good way to make compost, it has one fatal flaw. In many neighborhoods, it will attract rodents or other scavengers, who will dig up the scraps, and then multiply. Next, they will look for more food in your home. Or, large scavengers like coyotes may be attracted. Once coyotes get used to finding food around your home, they may want to snack on your pet. The bottom line: all composters that are outdoors and have food scraps in them need lids or screens to keep out the animals.

Kumtor Gold Mine, Kyrgyzstan
The Kumtor Gold mine - Background
Quick facts
- owned by Canadian mining company Centerra Gold Inc.
- largest gold deposit project managed by a Western company in Central Asia
- produced 17,66 tons of gold (2010), plans are to further expand operations
- generates appr. 10 per cent of Kyrgyzstan's GDP [1], but also significant environmental and social threats
- the Kyrgyz Republic now owns 33 per cent of Centerra Gold Inc.
Fragile surrounding
The Kumtor open pit gold mine is located in a remote area of the Tian-Shan mountain range in Kyrgyzstan at an altitude of 4000 metres, next to the Sarychat-Ertash reserve and not far from the Issyk-Kul lake, an important regional tourist attraction.
The mine is being developed in fragile conditions of permafrost and in the vicinity of glaciers that feed fresh waters into the transboundary Naryn River. It is an area of surreal beauty.
Waste rock on the glaciers
Dangers for the environment
Damage to glaciers
The mine pit slices through two glaciers (Lysyi and Davidov). This vicinity and the practice of storing waste rock directly on the glaciers damages these enormous natural ice sheets.
The glaciers, already suffering from the impacts of climate change, are melting much faster and have shrunk tremendously in recent years, as Kyrgyz scientists have confirmed us.
Potential for catastrophic events
Lake Petrov and its glacier
The mine's tailings (i.e. chemically polluted leftovers) are located below Lake Petrov. The lake grew by more than 92,000 square metres annually in recent years due to a melting glacier. The lake's natural dam has become less and less stable (according to Torgoev Isakbek, author of a State Commission report on the subject).
Although there is no imminent danger, the lake's tremendous growth might cause it to break out at some point. In a worst-case scenario, the downstream tailings could then be washed away, with unforeseeable impacts on the environment.
The tailings dam foundation is also experiencing horizontal deformations and is moving down the slope [2].
Inspite of measures to stabilise the dam in 2003 and 2006 (so-called shear keys and toe berm), the dam is still continuing to move. Kyrgyz scientists believe it is caused by the facts that it has been built on an uneven slope and that the dam never freezes.
Water pollution
Likely the most serious problem at Kumtor is the slow long-term release of contaminants from current and future mining operations.
During summer operations (May through October) some five million cubic metres of waste water from the tailings are treated and discharged into the Kumtor River and eventually flow into the Naryn River (later Syrdarya) towards Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan.
While Centerra Gold Inc. does not publicise data on the quality of the discharged water, people living near the Kumtor River observed an enormous decrease in fish stock in recent years and suspect that the river has already been polluted.
The seasonal glacier melt-waters and the ground water flow into the mine's open pit at a rate up to 1000 liters/sec [3]. After contact with the rock, the water becomes chemically-degraded and is then pumped out and discharged to the environment.

Accidents at the mine
A blockade by villagers demanding proper compensation for the 1998 accident at the Kumtor mine
Centerra Gold has been the client of the EBRD since 1995 and the bank has failed to ensure that its client respects public social environmental concerns and social needs.
Throughout the mine's operation, several accidents occurred, leaving several people dead and hundreds in need of treatment:
- a cyanide and sodium cyanide spill into the Barskoon River in May 1998
- a spill of 70 liters nitric acid in July 1998
- an ammonium nitrate spill in January 2000
- collapses of a 200 metre high pit walls at the mine in 2002 and 2006.
While the company plays down the cyanide spill in 1998, more than 1000 people have turned to the Barskoon local public association "Karek" in need of assistance to protect their rights and to claim compensations for the damages caused by the spill.
A law suit is ongoing since 2005. 24 Barskoon villagers with documented proofs of poisoning demand compensation for moral and health impacts from the mining company.
"The company did not notify residents of Barskaun, who use the water for drinking and irrigation, until 5 hours after the accident. As a result, over 2,500 people were poisoned, 850 people were hospitalized and at least four of those patients died."

My wife and I have been looking at a replacement car for her and took the X3 for an extensive test drive yesterday. However I have had several BMW's and will provide my input to your questions (below).
Originally Posted by
I test drove the X3 earlier today and was fully impressed. Never thought I'd be interested in a true SUV (SAV)! So, here comes the pesky questions:
1. I've looked at the government fuel economy ratings between the two engines (21/28 vs 19/26), but they are usually far off from reality. Are they closer in economy in the real world? .....Agree with the previous poster, it will vary depending on driving habits and conditions. I have read from others where they were getting low 30's for highway driving.
2. Did you purchase the x28 model and regret not getting the x35? ....We only test drove the x28i but I have experience with the x35i in other models. If I was the primary driver, without question I would opt for the x35i. However I love power and acceleration. For most uses the x28 would be a good choice.
3. Dealer is telling me if I get my order in this week, that they can get it from the factory by end of year. Sound right? .....This statement echos what my CA told me. However our timeline is to have the X3 by early April. Point being, there doesn't seem to be any lag with production and shipment.
4. Dealer is saying I should be willing to pay the average rate from TrueCar. Seems a bit high and don't really want to go much over $800 over invoice. Plus, I've got discounts coming in from military and holiday discounts....A range of $500-$800 over invoice minus any incentives, IMO, would be reasonable. It is not a new release or the hottest SUV/SAV on the market. Be professional and respectful during the negotiations but hold your ground.
5. With #4 said, I have a trade in. Trying to balance out everything to get the best offer. Recommendations?....Agree with the previous poster, keep the number separate (new vs. trade-in). Research ahead to get an average number by looking up the value from KBB and Edmunds.
6. I've heard of hiring folks online to manage the entire car buying process for a fee. Thoughts?....Don't bother as the broker would receive a commission. Simply be well informed and confident in your approach. I would also recommend contacting one of the forum sponsors as thee would give you an honest (if not the best) price.

Rich and Elegant
February 25, 2012
We have just completed half a million dollar home renovation and expansion. We had always envisioned a two sided fireplace on the shared wall between our new dining room and new sun room. We purchased the Napoleon fireplace and knew we needed the one final touch to finish the look. Fortunately we found this trim kit. We had a bit of confusion as to whether the price reflected one trim piece or two. (It's one piece, so buy two if you want it for both sides of your fireplace.) In addition, we also weren't sure if it could be installed after the fireplace is in the wall...which it can...and has to be. So we called customer service and received quick and reassuring answers. The product arrived quickly and was packed very well. I'm pleased that our contractor installed it quickly and with ease using the instructions provided. The rich black trim has a gloss finish and is about 3 inches wide, just the right scale and look for this elegant fireplace. We receive so many compliments on the fireplace. Even though you can use tile or other trim around the fireplace, it just wouldn't look as rich without this trim. I highly recommend this product!
Pros:Quality and finish
Cons:Need a bit more description about the product, so I wouldn't have needed to call customer service.

How 'Expertise In-An-App' Is Guiding The Workforce [Future Of Work]
As PSFK explores how apps and technology can help jump start areas lacking in expertise.
Not sure how to complete a task or just looking for a little guidance around a specific topic? For today's workforce, it's becoming more likely that "there's an app for that." These tools cover a range of work-related topics from accounting and expenses to productivity and even language translation, placing instant expertise within easy reach.
While futurists of the past may have had a slightly different vision for how technology would impact the way find and access information and acquire new skills (plus flying cars), apps and other technology are quickly meeting these needs. As we explore the changing face of the modern workforce, we're seeing the demand for mobile, multi-disciplinary and entrepreneurial employees is increasing. The implications seem to point to a push for employees who will be already be well-versed in a variety of subjects, and will quickly be able to get up to speed in others.
With more than 40 percent of the U.S. workforce and nearly 1 in 5 college graduates suffering from a shortage in basic skills, it can be argued we're beginning to see a talent drain within the workforce. Although companies offer workplace education programs, given the nature of time sensitive project based work, this education needs to kick-in from day one. Similarly, many workplace education programs are facing a knowledge gap, as the baby boomer generation considers retirement; capturing knowledge before it disappears is crucial.
And outside of the traditional workplace, the growing numbers of freelancers and entrepreneurs are often on their own when it comes to solving the challenges of growing their businesses and taking on new opportunities. Access to a new set of tools is providing key information, where previously trial and error or conversations with those in the same boat may have been the only venue for sorting out daily questions like how to find a new assignment or how much to charge.
Below we've captured a cross-section of tools that are helping today's workforce deal with many of the issues that they face:
App Tells Freelancers How Much To Charge For Their Services
PowerInbox Brings Apps To Your Inbox
Hacked Glasses Translate Foreign Languages Into Subtitles In Real-Time
Do you have any stories of an app saving the day? PSFK is asking readers to tell us what new technologies or apps you use to sharpen up your business skills? Send us a link to a related innovation that you use or one we might have missed.
Tweet it to us at @psfk with the hashtags #FoW #AppExpertise, for a chance to win a $50 iTunes giftcard to app up your work ventures.
Over the next 4-8 weeks we want to start a conversation around what you see as possible in the Future of Work. Be sure to follow the conversation on PSFK and participate in the daily competitions. Tweet us your ideas to @psfk using #FoW.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/4/2011 (2268 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Renaissance Brandon is gearing up for a modern twist on the city's historic downtown.
Yesterday, it officially received $144,000 in provincial funding to move forward with its vision for the implementation of a downtown wireless Internet hub.
The hub's boundaries will run roughly from 13th Street east to Sixth Street and from Rosser Avenue over to just south of Princess Avenue, depending on sight lines or building barriers.
Once in place, it will provide a maximum of up to two hours free surfing time for anyone with a laptop or other mobile device.
Those who log on to the service will automatically be directed to Renaissance Brandon's homepage, which board chair and Rosser ward councillor Corey Roberts hopes will act as an ambassador of sorts for all that downtown has to offer.
"This will be a key aspect of launching our brand as Renaissance Brandon," Roberts said. "(It will have) all the exciting things, whether it's concert updates, new buildings that are under construction or links to all the heritage components (of downtown)."
If all goes well with the local Internet service provider that's already been hired to provide the service, the hub should be "live," beginning in Princess Park, by the summer, Roberts said.
In the future, it could feature an interactive walking tour of downtown's historical sites and a "live eye" camera looking out onto Princess Park, he said.
In making the pledge of funding at Brandon's downtown Music Studio yesterday, Premier Greg Selinger called the idea of a wireless Internet in a municipality's downtown a "cutting edge" one.
"The idea of having an arts and culture hub downtown makes a ton of sense, especially when you see the kinds of architectural gems that you've got down there," he said. "The wireless puts a very modern face on it. It's a whole new medium of communication which allows people to be involved with the community and involved with each other using the latest technology."
A portion of the provincial funding announced yesterday will also be put toward the installation of additional "Hub" signage in the downtown and the purchase of benches, picnic tables and bicycle racks that will pepper the wireless hub area.

Kick back and relax
I love to walk barefoot in the grass, or simply sit and admire the yard. Sometimes, I lie back and look at the clouds with my daughter, feeling the cool grass beneath us.
Siri Coles, Casper, WY
Yards, not lawns
Where I live, we don't have lawns; we have yards. Lawns grow only grass. Yards grow kids, puppies, toy trucks, and dandelions.
Phyllis Hubbard, Corydon, IN
Valuable veggies
A well-maintained lawn looks pretty, but that's about it. I'd rather spend the water, time, and energy on planting a vegetable garden, which not only looks pretty, but also produces delicious and healthy vegetables to eat.
Jin Washington, Sheppard, TX
Letting nature nurture
My lawn is on a hill. Over the years, it has become less and less important since it is hard to mow. I have decided to let nature have its way with it and have been happy with the field of ox-eye daisies instead.
Barbara L. Rexford, Bonners Ferry, ID
Nice and easy
We have a small lawn in the shape of a heart. The lawn is surrounded by perennial beds and is a nice complement to our landscaping.
Lillian Mahaney, Leland, MI
Lawn be gone
What lawn? I keep trying to find ways to hide the weeds that pass for grass in my yard. The more things I can grow in containers to cover the lawn, the better.
Darren Sheriff, North Charleston, SC
Playful and pretty
Our lawn provides the canvas for playing feet, running paws, sprinklers creating rainbows, and cascades of flowering colors.

For Bob Perkins of Manhattan, Mont., there's a single natural ability that has placed humans at the top of the food chain for thousands of years. It's not our "big, bulgy brains," he says. Perkins chalks up our continued survival as omnivores to one evolutionary edge: Our ability to throw stuff.
"That's one of the first things babies learn to do is throw stuff, and that's their first experience in direct control over their local environment," says Perkins, whose status as the world's foremost expert in the ancient dart-throwing atlatl has earned him the nickname Atlatl Bob. "This is big in human development."
That ability became a hot topic in the Montana Legislature last week when Sen. Greg Hinkle, R-Thompson Falls, introduced a bill legalizing hand-thrown spear hunting. The legislation proved popular with the Senate Fish and Game Committee, which felt the only change needed was an amendment specifying when spear hunting could occur. But some sportsmen remain wary.
"Our question is: Ethically, can you kill an elk with a hand-thrown spear?" asks Tony Jones, president of the Ravalli County Fish and Wildlife Association. "We don't think so."
This isn't the first time Montana has considered legislation allowing the use of primitive weapons. Perkins was involved in an effort in the 1980s to legalize atlatl hunting for the first two days of the archery season. The measure died on the table, Perkins recalls.
The atlatl has made a steady comeback since the 1980s. The World Atlatl Association says the technology is "part of the current surge in recreational interest in 'primitive skills.'" Groups conduct atlatl competitions worldwide; Perkins helped found the annual Montana Atlatl Mammoth Hunt more than 20 years ago.
"It's gaining popularity steadily worldwide, and in Montana," Perkins says.
Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen brought spear hunting into the limelight last year when he appeared on the television program Relentless Pursuit. Allen successfully speared an elk from a tree platform, then issued a spirited on-camera warning to other wildlife: "All you bears out there, watch out. You're next."
It's displays like that that have Jones concerned about both traditional spears and the more sophisticated atlatl.
"How do you regulate it?" Jones wonders, pointing out the lack of guidelines offered in Hinkle's bill. "It's a nightmare...And we don't want to see another black eye for hunters."

USF eyes opportunity to surprise No. 15 MiamiBy FRED GOODALL , Associated Press
Sep. 27, 2013 11:49 AM ET
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Miami is off to its best start in nine years, and South Florida coach Willie Taggart believes the 15th-ranked Hurricanes are on the verge of reclaiming a spot among the nation's elite.

(AP Photo/Chris O'Meara)
5 of 5
Taggart grew up in nearby Bradenton, rooting for Florida State during a time when Miami (3-0) was one of college football's most dominant programs.
The 'Canes are looking to begin a season with four straight victories for the first time since 2004 when they face winless USF (0-3), which is still chasing its first win under Taggart.
Taggart concedes it will be difficult to get it Saturday because Miami, in his eyes, is a team that doesn't have a real weakness.
"They're back. ... but we'll be ready," the first-year USF coach said. "We're not going to bow down to them, that's for sure."
Miami's promising start includes a 21-16 victory over No. 20 Florida. The Hurricanes are coming off a 77-7 blowout of overmatched Savannah State.
Taggart left Western Kentucky last December to take over a team that dropped nine of its final 10 games under former coach Skip Holtz. The Bulls (0-3) opened with a lopsided loss to Football Championship Subdivision foe McNeese State, and continued to sputter offensively in losses to Michigan State and Florida Atlantic.
Still, Taggart is optimistic about turning his struggling program around. USF has yielded five defensive touchdowns on turnovers, one more TD than the Bulls have scored on offense.
Penn State transfer Steven Bench becomes USF's third starting quarterback in four games. Miami boasts a defense that has allowed three TDs in three games.
"You really haven't seen our offense yet," Taggart said. "We're not a team built to come from behind yet. ... If we go out and play like we're capable, I think we have a shot."
Miami running back Duke Johnson is expecting a tough test.
"Their record doesn't say anything about their team, at all, especially on the defensive side," Johnson said "Their front four is their strength, but their linebackers are no joke, also. Their front seven, they take pride in it and they have good reason to."
Five things to look at while Miami looks to build on its best start since the 'Canes won six straight to begin the season in 2004:
OFF THE BENCH: Matt Floyd lost USF's starting quarterback job during the season opener, and Bobby Eveld was less than a quarter into his second start, when Taggart turned to Bench, who had limited success against FAU, yet impressed the coaching staff enough to earn Saturday's start. "He's still not there where he knows our offense completely, so we've got to be smart with what ask him to do," Taggart said. "We don't need him to be Tom Brady. We want him to be Steven Bench."
GUESSING GAME: Miami already had two practices completed this week, including one of its major game plan-installation sessions, before getting word that USF was starting Bench. The bad news for Miami is that there simply isn't much film on the sophomore. But the good news is that what film there is, it's primarily against Florida Atlantic — a team the Hurricanes are familiar with, given that they beat the Owls in Week 1.
MORRIS' ANKLE: Miami QB Stephen Morris got quite the initial scare last weekend when his right ankle got hit, and when the Hurricanes started practice this week he wasn't able to fully participate. But Miami expected all along that its quarterback would be ready to go against USF, a team he threw for 413 yards against last season. (That's nine more than he has this season, total.) The Hurricanes obviously wouldn't complain if he got rolling before the Atlantic Coast Conference opener against Georgia Tech next weekend.
EMERGING STAR: Running back Marcus Shaw has been USF's most consistent — and productive — player on offense, rushing for 398 yards and one touchdown, while averaging 7 yards per carry.
FIRST ROAD TEST?: Miami hasn't trailed in 2013, and actually hasn't trailed for a single second in any of its last five games going back to last season. In fact, Miami's offense hasn't faced a deficit in any of its last 345 snaps. But this is also the first road trip of the season for the Hurricanes, and coaches have been prepping players all week for a different sort of challenge. If USF strikes early in its upset bid, it'll be interesting to see how Miami responds.

Internet Safety
A Parent's Guide to Internet Safety
As a parent, you wouldn't think of leaving your children alone in a strange neighbourhood, allowing them to stroll through an adult bookstore or let them wander aimlessly on a busy street or highway. Similarly, no responsible parent would permit their child to have secret meetings with strangers.
The Internet, with all its benefits, presents new dangers to kids and parents need to be aware of those dangers. Parents need to be involved with their children's Internet experience. Teaching children how to handle themselves on the Internet is important. There are also filtering software packages and web site rating schemes designed to help parents guide their children's Internet experience while still allowing that child Internet independence.
This guide has been designed to provide some basic information on what to look for and who to contact if a situation arises that requires assistance from an outside agency.
In this new and dynamic environment we all need to work together to protect those who need us most. A bit of prevention is worth a gigabyte of cure.

Franchise News Release: Heartland, WI - (Feb-19-2008)
OneCoach, Inc. Announces New Master Franchisor in Wisconsin
OneCoach, a leader in small business growth services, has announced selling its third U.S. Master franchise to Michael Cummings, granting him ownership of the OneCoach brand in the state of Wisconsin. This agreement comes only weeks after OneCoach sold its first two Master franchises in Michigan and Ohio. As the new Regional Owner, Cummings will be establishing offices throughout the state to help local entrepreneurs grow their businesses.
"I want to use my experience to teach other business owners how to make the small changes that yield exponential results," says Cummings.
Cummings has a successful entrepreneurial history, and has the unique ability to see opportunities in changing markets. After much research on the current market, Michael saw his next big opportunity in the business-growth sector.
He learned about OneCoach through the movie The Secret, which features OneCoach Founder, John Assaraf, as a teacher of the Law of Attraction and mindset of success as they pertain to business. OneCoach applies this, and other laws of quantum science, in a comprehensive Business Mastery system to help business owners first achieve the right mindset for success, and then shows them how to attract more clients. This system combines interactive coaching, best practices and networking to give every small-business owner the best chance for achieving success.
"I know the feeling of loneliness and indecision that comes with starting a business, and I know that the OneCoach tools and strategies can help people take their businesses, and their lives, to the next level," said Cummings.
The overwhelming success and demand for the Business Mastery system led OneCoach to expand its business model by developing a three-tier Franchising model, with the approval of its Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC) in June, 2007. Cummings is now considered a master franchisor and is now seeking business partners to open local offices in Wisconsin to deliver OneCoach's suite of products and services.
Small business is booming in the U.S as start-up funding hits a record high in 2007, with 110,275 loans approved, totaling more than $20.6 billion, according to the Small Business Administration. This increase in start-up activity translates to a direct increase in demand and capital available for small business coaching and growth services, both locally and nationwide.
OneCoach offers a complete Franchise Opportunity with excellent return on investment (ROI) potential in a high-growth industry. Upon signing, OneCoach assists new franchisees in all areas of startup including marketing, coaching and training. In addition, the company provides franchisees with:
* A proven turnkey system of pre-built products and services that are ready for immediate use
* World-class training, logistical, and operational support by a seasoned team of professionals
* A reliable first-class brand developed by reputable sales and marketing experts

Type: Contribution
Status: Closed (View Workflow)
Priority: Major
Resolution: Won't Fix
Affects Version/s: 4.0.b Community, Community Edition 201512 EA
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: Admin Console (Share)
Security Level: external (External user)
The Share category manager currently only handles standard categories from the cm:generalclassifiable classification. This is very limiting for applications that require custom classifications or additional metadata associated with categories. The attached patch file enhances the category manager (and some related components of Share / the repository) to allow management and usage of custom classifications and custom category types.
Changes made by the patch:
- allow forms to supply a destination child-association when creating nodes (implementing a TODO in the current code base)
- add a web script to the repository tier that lists the available classification aspects
- enhance the Share category manager to handle multiple classification aspects
- enhance the Share category manager to use forms for category management (creation / modification)
- provide a configuration option to hide certain classification aspects in the category manager
- provide a configuration option to specify wether a form should be used to modify the categories of a certain classification and what type of category should be created
- enhance the picker children web script on the repository tier to specify wether an element "is a category"
- patch the object-finder component in the web framework, replacing a hard type check with an evaluation of the new "is a category" property to handle category subtypes
The second patch file provides a sample model, bootstrap view, Share configuration and Spring Surf extension to work with the enhancements made by this contribution.
Please note: The last two items in the change list have previously been submitted to Alfresco Support as ACT #15024-37043 in the context of a customer project unrelated to this contribution.

This issue was reported against an old version of Alfresco Community Edition.
Alfresco 5.1 is nearing release, and contains many improvements that address old problems. We are closing old issues so that we can better prioritize our efforts.
If you verify that the issue still exists in an Early Access release of Alfresco 5.1, please reopen the issue. If you have any trouble reopening the issue, then leave a comment or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com so that we can assist.
Thank you for collaborating with us on improving Alfresco.
Axel says this issue still applies to 5.1, and it has a patch we should consider. So I'm reopening it.
John Knowles: This is a Share enhancement request with a patch attached for old versions of Alfresco. This use case should be considered as we look to "aikau-ify" these parts of Share.
This patch touches both the repository and Share to address a deficiency that has existed for some time. We won't be addressing this problem in the current implementation because we are instead focusing on creating a versioned REST API to meet this use case (see REPO-426).
We can't accept the patch as-is because the proposed changes are to code that is insufficiently tested, and investing in creating new tests for this area will significantly increase the amount of work needed.
Once the new REST API is available, we will work on exposing it in the interface.

Thanks man! I've got a carbon fiber vinyl for the roof ready to be installed. Just kinda debating to put it or not. Will the adhesive on the vinyl damage the clear coat if you try to take it off later on? Thanks again.

The 15th-ranked Ohio State's men's basketball team has concluded the formalities. With minimal damage, the Buckeyes (8-2) have circumvented a preconference schedule that certainly didn't include any of the other Final Four teams from a year ago.
No more stand-ins, substitutes and schools with at least one compass point in their name. Next up? No. 20 Illinois, in Champaign, on Jan. 6. But that's OK with Ohio State coach Jim O'Brien.
"I like the way we seem to be coming together," said O'Brien after Wednesday night's 79-43 rout of American University. "It could all change when we play Illinois. But with regard to how we've played to this point, my sense is we're getting better. That's what we're looking for."
The two losses for the Buckeyes are just about what O'Brien might have expected. But at the same time, he probably expected those losses to come in the Preseason NIT (possibly against No. 5 Arizona) and Dec. 16 at Kansas.
He was only half right. The Buckeyes lost 80-67 in Allen Fieldhouse, but never got a shot at Arizona.
Ohio State was almost handpicked to get to the NIT semifinals, given a first-round home game against a Notre Dame team that was 13-14 a year ago and was playing its first game with a new coach.
Before the game, NIT officials announced that Ohio State would host its second-round game two nights later.
But a funny thing happened. The Fighting Irish beat the Buckeyes 59-57 on David Graves' last-second shot, ruining the plans of the NIT folks and most likely shortchanging Ohio State of at least a game or two against quality opponents.
Instead, Ohio State has been forced to measure itself against one of the weakest schedules in school history. The Buckeyes played Duquesne not Duke, Florida A&M not Florida, Coastal Carolina not North Carolina and Eastern Kentucky, never to be mistaken for Kentucky.
O'Brien and athletics director Andy Geiger have been scorched by callers to talk radio and in letters to the editor. Some seat-license holders at Value City Arena have even complained about how little bang they're getting for their buck.
This week's Sagarin ratings place Ohio State's schedule 304th out of the 319 teams in Division I. The team is ranked 70th in the country _ eight spots behind the Wally Szczerbiak-less Miami RedHawks.
But the Buckeyes say the preconference schedule had served its purpose.
"I like where we are," said guard Scoonie Penn, who has been fighting a shooting slump. "We've made some strides in the last few games."
Even though the Buckeyes made it to the national semifinals last March, Michael Redd said the team still has been going through an adjustment period.
"It's a different chemistry," he said. "Some of the younger guys are more experienced from playing together with the older guys. That will help us. And Scoonie and I are starting to shoot the ball better."
Asked what his team got out of the games leading up to the Big Ten, O'Brien said, "It's a new year. It's all changed. This preconference schedule has enabled us to get guys comfortable with each other and to give the new guys some minutes."
Boban Savovic, one of the top reserves a year ago, is still out with a heel injury. O'Brien said the Buckeyes may have to do without him for a while.
But another player from Yugoslavia, Cobe Ocokoljic, has moved into the starting lineup and is playing solidly at both ends of the court. His presence allows O'Brien to bring an experienced hand, George Reese, off the bench.
The development of Ken Johnson, who is averaging five blocks a game, has fortified the middle of the defense. Should Redd and Penn regain their shooting touch, the Buckeyes are confident they'll be in the thick of the conference race again this year.
"There are five or six teams who are really good, and I think we're one of them," said Penn.
But this time they won't sneak up on anybody.
"The Big Ten is strong again," said Redd. "It's going to be a war and we'll have a target on our back."

The sail wardrobe is largely new and heavyweight canvas. For good upwind performance there are a high aspect jib and cutterjib. On broad reaches you can opt for the big genoa or spinnaker. The boat has a winter cover to the waterline which is used only 1x. During winter she was mostly always indoors.
The interior is spacious and light offering sufficient headroom even for tall people. To port is an L-shaped galley with double sink, oven and fridge. There is ample storage space for supplies. To starboard you will find the navigation area with the necessary equipment and radar for navigation. Amidships is a spacious seating area. In the front is a double cabin and the head. It is equipped with the necessary closet space and a wash bowl. In the stern is a spacious double cabin. To starboard aft is a double bunk room.
The Victoire 1200 is a seaworthy yacht equipped for a long stay on board. When you have high demands on sailing characteristics and finish similar to Scandinavian yachts then this boat is worth a visit.
We invite you therefore to come to see her in Medemblik (Netherlands). Please contact via email@example.com, or nummer +31 (0) 6 5020 1336.

Re: Changing default size of new notebook
Hello Dimitris. That works but the newly created notebook is created at the center of the screen. Hate to be picky but the most convenient way I've found to use Mathematica is to have the notebook and BasicInput palette fill the screen with the notebook on the left and the palette on the right.
Anyway to create the notebook with the top left corner at the top left corner of the Mathematica window? Also, anyway to change the setting for File->New menu item to create the new notebook this way? When I go into Notebook Options->WindowProperties->Window Size, this does not seem to have any effect on new notebooks.
