Parliament of Tuvalu (Palamene o Tuvalu)[edit]
During the time Tuvalu was a British dependency the parliament was called the House of the Assembly. Following independence in October 1978 the House of the Assembly was renamed the Parliament of Tuvalu (Palamene o Tuvalu).[2]
The Constitution of Tuvalu states that it "is the supreme law of Tuvalu" and that "all other laws shall be interpreted and applied subject to this Constitution"; it sets out the Principles of the Bill of Rights and the Protection of the Fundamental Rights and Freedoms.[3][4] In 1986 the Constitution adopted upon independence was amended in order to give attention to Tuvaluan custom and tradition as well as the aspirations and values of the Tuvaluan people.[5][6] The changes placed greater emphasis on Tuvaluan community values rather than Western concepts of individual entitlement.[5]
The constituency of the parliament is based upon the islands of Tuvalu. The larger islands elect two members, while Nukulaelae elects one member. The smallest island, Niulakita, is represented in the parliament by the members of the constituency of Niutao. A candidate for parliament must be a citizen of Tuvalu of a minimum age of 21 years. Voting in Tuvalu is not compulsory. At 18 years of age, Tuvaluans are eligible to be added to the electoral rolls.[2] At the date of independence there were 12 members of the parliament. The Electoral Act was amended in December 1999 to increase the membership of parliament from 12 to 15 MPs.[7] In August 2007 the Constitution was changed to increase the number of ministers from 5 to 7.[7] Those members selected the Prime Minister and the Speaker of the parliament by secret ballot.[7] The Ministers that form the Cabinet are appointed by the governor-general on the advice of the prime minister.[2] The Attorney-General sits in parliament, but does not vote, as the parliamentary role of the Attorney-General is purely advisory.[2]
Due to the small population size and scale of the 15 seat parliament, Tuvalu has no political parties, meaning that the political system in Tuvalu exhibits the traits of a Non-partisan democracy.[7][8]
Latest election[edit]
2015 general election[edit]
The general election was held in Tuvalu on 31 March 2015.[9][10][11] The state of emergency created by Cyclone Pam resulted in the election being delayed twice. The election was originally scheduled for 19 March,[12] then after Cyclone Pam caused damage to the islands, the election was re-scheduled for 26 March.[13]
In the Nukufetau electorate, Enele Sopoaga and Elisala Pita were not opposed by other candidates. Namoliki Sualiki was not opposed in the Nukulaelae electorate.[12][14] The other islands had contested ballots. The candidates in the constituencies of Niutao and Nui included former members of parliament.[14][15] On Nui Pelenike Isaia and Leneuoti Matusi were not returned to parliament.[16] The new members elected to represent Nui were Mackenzie Kiritome and Dr Puakena Boreham, who is the third woman to be elected as an MP.[17][18]
On Niutao Vete Sakaio, the deputy-prime minister, was not elected and was succeeded by Samuelu Teo, who is a former MP. The election was a good result for the government of Enele Sopoaga.[19][20] Enele Sopoaga was sworn in as prime minister and appointed the ministers to the cabinet on 10 April.[1][21][22]
Apisai Ielemia was elected to represent Vaitupu at the general election. On 5 October 2016 Chief Justice Sweeney of the High Court of Tuvalu declared that Ielemia's parliamentary seat was vacant as he was no longer qualified to be a member of parliament, as the consequence of the short time the opposition MP served time in jail following his conviction on 6 May 2016 in the Magistrate's Court of charges of abuse of office during the final year of his term as Prime Minister (August 2006 to September 2010).[23]
Past elections[edit]
Tuvaluan general election, 2010[edit]
Parliament was dissolved on 13 August 2010, and registration began on 28 August 2010.[24] Twenty-six candidates, including all sitting members of parliament, stood for the fifteen seats in Parliament.[25]
There were 6,008 registered voters.[26] Many candidates focused on climate change issues including Enele Sopoaga, a former Tuvaluan ambassador to the United Nations and Tuvalu's representative at the UN Climate Change Conference held in Copenhagen in 2009.[27][28]
Ten of the 15 members of parliament retained their seats including the speaker Kamuta Latasi, while the deputy prime minister Tavau Teii lost his seat.[29]
No women were elected in the general elections held in September 2010. In the by-election held in August 2011, Pelenike Isaia, the widow of Isaia Italeli who died the previous month,[30] was elected by the constituency of Nui. Pelenike Isaia becoming the second woman to enter the parliament.[26]
Toafa Ministry 2010[edit]
Following the election Maatia Toafa was elected as prime minister with the support of five new members of parliament and three members that had supported prime minister Apisai Ielemia. Maatia Toafa as supported by an (8:7) majority in the parliament. Isaia Taeia Italeli, the younger brother of the governor-general Iakoba Italeli, was appointed the Speaker of the parliament.[26]
Telavi Ministry 2010-2013[edit]
On 15 December 2010, prime minister Maatia Toafa's government was ousted in a vote of no confidence, which followed Willie Telavi withdrawing his support for the government. On 25 December 2010 Willy Telavi was elected prime minister with an (8:7) majority over Enele Sopoaga. Kamuta Latasi, was appointed Speaker.[26][31]
Lotoala Metia, the minister for finance, died on 21 December 2012.[32] The calling of a by-election was delayed until the High Court of Tuvalu ordered the prime minister to issue a notice to hold the by-election.[33][34] The Nukufetau by-election, 2013 was held on 28 June.[35] The Nukufetau by-election was won by the opposition candidate Elisala Pita.[36] A constitutional crisis developed when prime minister Telavi responded that, under the Constitution of Tuvalu, he was only required to convene parliament once a year, and was thus under no obligation to summon it until December 2013.[37] Tuvalu's opposition then requested the governor-general Iakoba Italeli to intervene against the prime minister's decision.[38] On 3 July, Italeli exercised his reserve powers in ordering parliament to convene, against the prime minister's wishes, on 30 July.[39]
When the parliament met on 30 July, the speaker (Kamuta Latasi) refused to allow a debate on a no-confidence motion in the government of Willy Telavi. Taom Tanukale, the health minister, resigned from the parliament (and thus also from the government).[40] This resignation appeared to be political manoeuvre as Willy Telavi responded by insisting that parliament should be suspended until a by-election was held and declined to call the by-election. In Tuvalu a by-election can only be called when requested by the prime Mmnister.[41]
The governor-general Iakoba Italeli then proceeded to exercise his reserve powers to order Mr Telavi's removal and the appointment of Enele Sopoaga as interim prime minister.[42][43] The governor-general also ordered that parliament sit on Friday 2 August to allow a vote of no-confidence in Mr Telavi and his government.[44] Telavi then proceeding to write to Queen Elizabeth II (as the head of state of Tuvalu) informing her that he was dismissing Mr Italeli from his position as governor-general.[43]
The election of the Sopoaga Ministry 2013[edit]
On Sunday 4 August the parliament elected Enele Sopoaga as prime minister.[45] Vete Sakaio was subsequently appointed deputy prime minister and minister for public utilities, Maatia Toafa was appointed the minister of finance and economic development and Taukelina Finikaso was appointed the foreign minister.[46]
As a consequence of the resignation of Taom Tanukale, the Nui by-election was held on 10 September 2013. Leneuoti Maatusi was declared the winner, polling 297 of the 778 registered voters. Maatusi has been a civil servant and served as the secretary of the Nui Falekaupule. He beat Palemene Anelu, a recent graduate of the University of the South Pacific, who received 206 votes and Taom Tanukale, the sitting member, whose resignation from parliament caused the by-election, who received 160 votes.[47] The government of Enele Sopoaga had a majority of two going into the by-election.[48] After the by-election Leneuoti Maatusi committed to support prime minister Enele Sopoaga.[49]
In December 2013 a vacancy for the constituency of Nanumaga was declared by the governor-general in accordance with Section 99 (2) of the Tuvalu Constitution following an assessment of Falesa Pitoi's health.[50] The Nanumaga by-election, 2014 occurred on 14 January.[51] The candidates were Halo Tuavai, Otinielu Tauteleimalae Tausi and Pai Teatu.[52] Otinielu Tausi was the successful candidate.[53] Tausi has chosen to support prime minister Enele Sopoaga, which give the government a two-thirds majority of the members of parliament.[54] On 3 March 2014 Tausi was elected as the speaker of the parliament.[55][56]
The Nanumea by-election, 2014 was called following the resignation of Willy Telavi in August. The voting occurred on 19 September 2014.[57] Mr Satini Tulaga Manuella was the successful candidate. The former University of the South Pacific senior accountant and president of the Tuvalu National Private Sector Organization (TNPSO) supported the government of Enele Sopoaga.[58] In 2015 the parliament was dissolved with a general election set down for March 2015.[12]
2006 elections to the Parliament of Tuvalu[edit]
The general election was held on 3 August 2006. There were 5,765 eligible voters on the electoral roll.[8] 32 candidates, including 2 women, competed for the 15 seats (the parliament had been increased from 12 to 15 elected members). Maatia Toafa was re-elected to his seat in parliament; however all his cabinet members were defeated. Eight new members were elected to the parliament.[59] On 14 August 2006 Apisai Ielemia was elected as prime minister;[60] and Kamuta Latasi was appointed the speaker of the parliament.[59] Apisai Ielemia remained PM until the 2010 general election.

The Sopoanga government lost its majority in May 2003, following the results of the Nanumea by-election, 2003 and the Niutao by-election, 2003.[8] The opposition took legal action in an attempt to force Sopoanga to recall parliament.[63] Sopoanga recalled parliament to meet in September,[64] On 9 September Sopoanga arranged to appointed opposition MP Faimalaga Luka as governor general, depriving the opposition of its crucial one-seat majority and triggering the Nukufetau by-election, 2003. The winner of the October by-election, Elisala Pita, joined the government's benches, enabling it to survive into 2004.[65]
The Sopoanga government was eventually brought down by an eight-to-six motion of no confidence in August 2004.[66] Two government members, Elisala Pita and Otinielu Tausi, crossed the floor to vote against Sopoanga.[67] On 25 August 2004 Saufatu Sopoanga resigned as prime minister and member of parliament.[59] A by-election was held on 7 October 2004 and Saufatu Sopoanga regained his seat. Maatia Toafa was elected prime minister on 11 October 2004 with a vote of 8:7;[68] and Saufatu Sopoanga became deputy prime minister and minister for works, transport and communication.[59][61] Maatia Toafa remained PM until the 2006 general election.

Since another thread was getting highjacked and I have a question about the split issue that came up, I decided to start a new thread. Here's what Michael says on his web page:"An even split. You take half of everything and divide it up. Face both of new hives at the sides of the old hive so the returning bees aren't sure which one to come back to. In a week or so, swap places to equalize the drift to the one with the queen."what does "face both of the new hives at the sides of the old hive" mean? Is it like three hives jammed together all facing the same way? One empty and two on either side facing the same way with the split frames in them?
Or does it mean the old empty hive sits in the middle and the two new hives face each other with the old hive in between?
Or do you remove the old hive altogether once the split is made and put the two new hives side by side facing the same way as the old one was?Help please,Linda T in Atlanta
To turn them so their entrances are facing the direction of the mother hive (east), should I go through that gradual process again?Linda T in Atlanta
With that kinda split can I assume that one new hive gets the queen and the other makes it's own queen?And how long does it usually take for the bees to pick which hive they are going to belong to?

" Peacocks / evening dress. "
I bought this dress a few weeks ago from Peacocks. I was going on a night out for my birthday and I knew exactly what I wanted but I couldnt find it anywhere! I went into a local small town which only has a Dorothy Perkins and a Peacocks and I thought I might find something in the DP rather than the Peacocks!
I was instantly attracted to this dress as soon as I saw it in the shop. It had longer sleeves which were brilliant for a night out in December and it looked very fashionable. I wanted something a bit longer than usual and this dress goes down to about 6 inches above my knee, there is also a few inches of lace only which means the actual dress underneath is a bit shorter as you can see above.
So the dress has a lacey look to it, it has a black dress underneath to ensure its not see through! The lace has a flowery design but it also has the addition of sequins which makes it quite glam and sparkly for a night out.
I got a size 10, I am between a 10 and a 12 and the 10 fitted perfectly. The dress is made of 100% polyester.
I put the dress on at about 8pm and didnt take it off until gone 3am and it was comfortable to wear throughout the night. I have very sensitive skin but this did not irritate my skin. I was surprised at how comfortable I felt all night so I will be wearing this again.
Many people complimented my dress on my night out and quite a few were shocked when I told them it was from Peacocks and how much I paid! This dress is £25, it is still available.
I would definitely recommend this dress if you are looking for a glam dress for a night out or Chrismtas party. Its a dress that can be worn again and again if you go out often, its comfortable and a bargain at just £25.

She should report it to the police, but very little chance anything will happen. Hopefully it wasn't to much money. She's probably just going to have to chalk it up to a lesson learned.
Was she having the item shipped? Why would you send a money order to Craigslist person? Isn't that a mostly local thing?

When my AK110 is idling (fr 0 at min 8) the leading edge of the burn strip is maybe 3" in front of back wall and the lazy blues are even with the back wall. I seem to recall on my other stokers the burn strip is more centrally located.
I have heard stories of the fire backing up into the hopper on other stoves.
Does this seem fine for this furnace or do I need to make an adjustment somewhere?
my draft is between .02-.03
Thanks for any advice.

It's a scene cut straight from Cheers. You hit the bar on the way home — the one where everybody knows your name — the bartender slings you the drink you want, and tacks the purchase on your ever-growing tab. It's understood that the money will eventually change hands; most likely by the end of the night, you'll break out the wallet and assess the damage.
In its Card Case application software update launched on Wednesday, mobile payments start-up Square takes the scenario one step further. After downloading the Card Case app update on your smartphone, paying for drinks at a business which uses Square's Register app is as easy as telling the merchant what you want. Make your order, and the money is automatically deducted from your linked credit card account. After the purchase goes through, you're sent a digital receipt to your account. No swiping plastic, no fumbling for paper money — you don't even have to take the phone out of your pocket.
"We're bringing that relationship of being a regular to more and more people than before," said Square director of product Megan Quinn in an interview. "We've removed the artifact of the transaction from the payment experience — instead, it becomes about the relationship between you and the merchant."
Continue reading 'Square's App Refresh Makes Mobile Payments Hands-Free' …
Card Case uses the new "geofencing" technology included in Apple's recent iOS 5 release. Much like the name suggests, geofencing creates virtual boundaries around specific geographical points. Your iPhone can detect when you cross one of these fences, thereby triggering some form of event or notification.
With Square's most recent update, merchants who accept Square are bound by geofences with 100 meter radii. If you've got Card Case and pass through one of those fences, the app automatically opens a "tab," essentially a way to check in to a business and have your name and payment info show up on the merchant's Register app (which is also made by Square). Merchants see your open tab through their Register app, and your tab becomes your active account if you decide to visit the store.
First launched in May, the first version of Card Case required users to open the application and manually start a tab when visiting a participating merchant. While Card Case eliminated the need for swiping a card or paying with cash, it still required whipping out your phone, opening a tab and interacting with the application.
Ultimately, the aim seems to be further eliminating the "friction" inherent in the payment process; in other words, it's becoming way easier for you to spend money without having to think about it.
Theoretically, merchants will love it for the potential increase in revenues behind the counter — especially when customers don't feel like they're actually spending money — and customers will dig the quirky convenience of paying for items without really needing to do anything at all.
Obviously, Square has competitors in the mobile payments space. Near Field Communications technology is taking off in a massive way, especially with the debut of Google Wallet and the possibility of Apple developing its own NFC-equipped iPhones.
Square says it isn't worried about other mobile payments possibilities, instead offering that Card Case is the easiest, most sensible solution out of all the new-wave technologies. "There's no waving of your phone needed with us," Quinn said.
In order to make a significant dent in how consumers pay for goods and services beyond traditional paper and plastic, all competitors in the mobile payments ecosystem face an uphill battle. The installation base for NFC-enabled terminals compatible with Google Wallet is relatively minuscule, currently floating in the area of three to four hundred thousand. And Square's participating user base hovers somewhere in the range of 800,000, though the company refused to offer specific numbers on individual Card Case or Register app installations.
Not to mention shifting consumer behaviors, which center on tried-and-true physical exchanges of legal tender for goods and services rendered. Teaching scores of new customers how to use the new methods — be they Square's, Google's or another participant's offering — isn't an easy task. Additionally, training programs and infrastructure set up on the merchant side create another barrier to entry that can only be eroded gradually.
Still, Square thinks its option a natural extension of the payment process, far easier to implement and adopt than other alternatives. "It's bringing that behavior that you already see from the places you go as a regular," Quinn said. "Once they've paid this way, people want to continue to pay this way."
The updated Card Case app is available in the iTunes App Store immediately, free to download for iPhone users. Alas, Android fans will have to wait — for now, at least. Since the Card Case update is tied to iOS 5's geofencing capabilities, it's currently available only for iPhones, though a Square spokesman said an updated Card Case would be available for Android soon. The previous version of the app remains available to both Android and iPhone users.

text: As I pulled up to the stop light I noticed this older toyota corolla or such (i.e. not a fast car) in the left lane, I am in the center. The light turns green and I take off in a spirited manner up to about 5-7 over the limit which is 40mph. All of the sudden the Toyota comes flying by and slows down so that I pass him and he stomps it and passes me again. He wants me to race him but I'm not interested because there was no need. We get to another light that was red but this time he was in front of me in the middle lane. The light turns green and he takes off, if you can call it that and immediately moves to the left lane so I goose it in second and run up to about 55 or so and then slow back down to 45. There is no traffic in front of us and it is a 6 lane road divided by a short median (3" curbs with rock filler). He starts doing his pass me and slow down routine again. Well when he does this for the 4th time I let him pass me so he is about 1 car ahead, this is where I decide to take the bait so I stomp it in second at about 40-45mph. When he's about 3 cars behind my Valentine 1 goes bonkers so I stand on the brakes and bring it down to 40-45 from just about redline in second. He flies by me and then I see the source of my Valentines warning coming the other direction. The cop instantly slows down and climbs his car over the median, blasts past me and follows the toyota into a grocery store parking lot.

Kellan Lutz: Give Me a Role in "The Hunger Games" Films!
Posted Friday April 20, 2012 2:31 PM GMT
He rose to fame thanks to his gig with "The Twilight Saga" franchise, and now Kellan Lutz has spoken out about his desire to get in on the "Hunger Games" action.
The Emmett Cullen stud shared his admiration for the Suzanne Collins-authored series, and would gladly accept a gig if it was offered to him.
"I got hooked reading all those books. I remember before they ever started making a movie, I was like, 'I would love to be a part of this!'" he told press.
"I love the script, I love the movie, everything about it. I feel like Twilight is kind of more girly and on the romance side and lacks the action, and then 'Hunger Games' is very much an action-packed movie that lacks some of the romance."

Adding Sprinkler Valve to Existing zone
I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion on how to add a new sprinkler valve to an existing zone. My current zone has about 12 heads on it and the grass has gotten pretty thick thru the years and it's hard for the sprinkler head to pop up all the way. And it's not as strong so coverage is not as good. How do I split the zone up. I see extra wires that I can use, but I don't know how to find where to split ? Any help would be appreciated.
The sprinkler heads can be changed to allow a higher popup or better spread. But seems like you have too many on one zone now. You will need to add another in-line valve and install it in the middle of the existing run. End the first part at that point and tie into the last heads with this new valve. Check out a some online supplies, they offer good guides.
Sometimes the grass just grows over the head a little and needs to be cut out around the heads. They actually have a tool for this, but an old kitchen knife or something would work.
When I say cut out around it, I don't mean the length of the grass. Actually cut the sod out around it. Cut out about 1/2' around each head.
Adding Sprinkler Valve to Existing zone
Gus, I've seen people do that here in the neighborhood. That does work, but it makes your lawn looks like it has ball spots. Especially around the edge of the side walk.
I believe that enough pressure will be able to push heads thru. I've normally go around and cut the grass at the head so that it pokes thru and that doesn't destroy the look of the green lawn. But the weakness due to to many heads in the long run is the true problem.
I've gotten them to come out back when the house was built and I didn't realize at the time that all they did was to lift the heads up with a shovel. Well my yard doesn't sit on limestone or hard rock so eventually it sinks back. I've DIY most of them by putting extension on them so that they are now at gnd level.
I want to split the valve for pressure and coverage. Even if I change the spread, the weak pressure will cause uneven coverage.
Thanks for all the tidbits.

Just finished reading that article also.
Very sad for a host of reasons.
1. War-induced emotional trauma.
2. Unwillingness/inability to get help.
3. VA inability to provide the level of help needed.
4. Wife's not following through (according to VA).
He was seeing demons that were not there, so he was paranoid.
You and I sit with our backs to the wall, check the door armed, etc.,
in case the goblins show up. Big difference.
Prayers to Dwyer's family and friends. Sad.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger believes that William Gallas' nose for goal could be a vital weapon in Arsenal's chase for honours.
The Arsenal captain prodded home a late equaliser at Dynamo Kyiv on Wednesday to take his tally to three goals in three Champions League games after netting in both legs of the qualifier against FC Twente.
Gallas returns to another happy hunting ground on Saturday - his volley set up Arsenal's comeback at Bolton last season - and Wenger insists it is no coincidence that his captain keeps getting on the scoresheet.
"There is no coincidence in football," Wenger told Arsenal.com.
"He was a striker when he was young and you can see he has the nose to be where you have to be at the right moment. If it is a corner or a deflected goal, William Gallas is there. He has kept something of a striker in him and that comes out in these desperate situations.
"The biggest quality of a striker who scores goals is exceptional skill or through anticipation and understanding where the ball will be. William anticipates and attacks the space.
"His goals can make the difference. I am convinced that in a game like Kiev it was an important goal, because coming back from Kiev with a defeat or with a point, it is a completely different perspective for the Champions League and the game at Bolton."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/6/2014 (1110 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
North winds blow cool, and they're keeping temperatures down a little today.
Environment Canada is calling for a high of just 19ºC this afternoon, under mainly cloudy skies. The winds won't be too strong, generally at about 20 km/h from the north. The UV Index should hit 6, which is considered high.

They chose to merge instead of renewing their production and distribution deal that expires in June because "no matter what kind of partnership we had, we're still two separate, publicly traded companies," Pixar CEO Steve Jobs says. "Sometimes that stuff just gets in the way of making the best films we could," as well as using Pixar's characters in Disney's theme parks.
They expect the deal to close this summer. It will make Jobs, who owns about half of Pixar, Disney's No. 1 shareholder, with 6.6%. He will join the Disney board. (Photos: Pixar at the movies)
Disney is offering 2.3 shares of its stock for each Pixar share. That's a 3.8% premium on Pixar's closing price of $57.57, which already is up 8% since Jan. 3 on investor anticipation of a deal.
There's no collar on the agreement, which means the value will rise or fall with Disney's stock price. Disney is issuing new stock but says it will buy back shares to return to the current float in 2007.
The agreement represents a startling change of direction for Disney's animation unit — arguably its most important business.
The operation that produced classics such as Snow White and The Lion King failed to keep up with computer animation and released a series of disappointments, including Treasure Planet and The Emperor's New Groove.
Disney CEO Robert Iger will put Pixar President Ed Catmull in charge of Disney and Pixar's animation operations, which will remain in their respective quarters in Burbank and Emeryville, Calif. Catmull will report to Iger and Disney studio chief Dick Cook.
In addition, Pixar's John Lasseter — who wrote and directed Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, and the upcoming Cars - will report to Iger as chief creative officer for the animation studios and principal creative adviser for Walt Disney Imagineering, which develops theme park attractions.
Iger's willingness to give Pixar so much control is a sharp break from the management style of his predecessor, Michael Eisner. Clashes between Eisner and Jobs caused earlier deal talks to break down.
The company says the Pixar executives will decide whether to streamline operations or lay off people in their units. And Iger leaves open the possibility that Catmull and Lasseter might tinker with Disney films in production.
Lassiter will remain under contract until 2011. Catmull does not have a contract.

Reports & Reflections on the Ecopoetics Conference
We really, really really wanted to attend the Ecopoetics Conference last weekend in Berkeley. Alas, we did not. Happily, though, reports and write-ups from various events are already being posted.
Michael Cross at The Disinhibitor has posted C.J. Martin's talk on Helen Adam which was part of the "(Im)Permeable Matter: Rocks, Stones, Minerals." Also available for download is Laura Moriarty's contribution to the "Ecopoetics Through Travel" panel. And Cross promises to post more talks as poets make them available!
We've also been reading through Groundworks, the blog documenting "a collaborative lab" which took place at the conference. The site includes contributions from Jolie Kaytes, Laura Mullen, Linda Russo, Hazel White and Jen Coleman, among others. Recent posts include reflections and "provocations" from each of the panelists, as well as photos from the event. Linda Russo's provocation is especially interesting:
Experimental/Experiential Geography : Geography – accounting for the presences, interactions, and flows in a place. Experimental – exercising/inventing dynamic humanimal being as a locus in a field of relations (energy conversion and information exchange). Geography – the trace of the ideologies and processes that produce (our relations to) to places. Experiential – sensitive to the conditioning that prompts the act of, and what we gather from, perception. Geography – what is (being) written in the event of a place. Experimental – punching holes in the assumptions that lay maps flat in discrete squares. Experimental – counter-mapping. Geography – enacting and/or inscribing new/overlooked gestures or marks. What is manifesting within, rearticulating through, being excluded from, or redefining this place? What writers/writings are underfoot, entangled in their own relations? Who or what is writing? What gestures can (re)inscribe/are (re)inscribing? What can you offer, perform, inscribe as a reconfiguration? What might an experimental/experiential geography of this moment-place look like? What might it reveal? Where is the "eco" in such a poetics? "Look the ground in the eye" – Richard Long.
We look forward to more documentation from and reflections on the conference.

Check[] vs Off[] ?
So, how can I suppress the printing of various error messages (like ones
that say some particular evaluation produced an indeterminate result),
while still using Check to replace the indeterminate (or otherwise
erroneous) result with a chosen symbol, for example in a Table?
For instance if evaluating myExpression sometimes produces an integer
and sometimes an indeterminate result, then using
myResult = Check[myExpression, "*"]
helps make a Table column narrower than if it has to print out
"Indeterminate" for each indeterminate result.

I. Alliance Background
II. Implementation Team Meetings
In addition to these formal meetings, the Alliance Implementation Team members from both groups maintained regular contact throughout the reporting period to monitor the Alliances progress and results.
III. Results
TJC/JCR provided expertise and disseminated information on the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards through the initiative of their 2009 Flu Challenge Program. The program was designed to increase the number of healthcare workers receiving the seasonal flu vaccination and involved over 17,000 participating hospitals.
In order to provide safety and health information to the industry and healthcare safety and health professionals, TJC/JCR invited OSHA to participate at several events in the course of the reporting period. During the 2010 Annual Emergency Preparedness Conference, Jordan Barab gave an OSHA update and Patricia Bray presented H1N1-Swine Flu: A wake up Call for Pandemic Preparedness to health care professionals attending the conference. OSHA also had an Alliance exhibit booth and distributed copies of the Agencys compliance assistance and cooperative program materials. In addition, Rosemary Sokas gave a presentation on Worker Safety/Patient Safety Nexus to safety and healthcare professionals at the 2099 Joint Commissions Annual Conference on Quality. Rosemary Sokas also participated on a panel discussion about reducing health associated infections and Patricia Bray gave a presentation entitled OSHA Inspections: Infectious Diseases in Healthcare and Lab Settings to the 2009 Annual Infection Prevention and Control Conference attendees.
Finally, TJC/JCR is sharing their expertise with OSHA by providing access to the TJC Standards for Hospitals, Laboratory Ambulatory, Behavioral, Long-term and Home Care. These standards allow OSHA to compare aspects that are key elements of effective infection prevention programs to various governmental and private institutions. They also allow comparisons to infection prevention and control standards from the different types of healthcare institutions.

UPDATE 1-Canada names John Pecman to head competition watchdog
By Euan Rocha
TORONTO, June 12 (Reuters) - Canada on Wednesday named internal candidate John Pecman to head its Competition Bureau, nearly one year after he stepped in as interim head of the watchdog agency.
Pecman was named Commissioner of Competition for a five-year term.
The bureau is an independent law enforcement agency Set up to ensure fair competition in Canada. It is responsible for the enforcement of the Competition Act and investigates price fixing, bid-rigging and mergers, among other matters.
Last week, the bureau charged Nestle SA and Mars Inc with fixing chocolate prices in Canada.
It also won a dispute recently with Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, forcing the bank to hand over key documents in a global rate-rigging scandal. And after a probe by the regulator, Japanese auto parts maker Yazaki Corp was fined C$30 million ($29.5 million) earlier this year for bid-rigging.
In March, the bureau approved telecommunications company BCE Inc's C$3 billion takeover of Astral Media Inc after BCE agreed to divest more than a dozen channels and a few radio stations. The deal is still being reviewed by the country's telecoms watchdog.
Under Pecman's leadership, the Bureau recently unveiled a new initiative designed to encourage whistleblowers to come forward with information about potential violations of the Competition Act. Continued...

The possibility of being burned by your laptop probably isn't something you spend a lot of time thinking about.
But the Consumer Product Safety Commission says some consumers – seven, to be precise – were burned by defective batteries in their HP laptop computers.
That's why HP has now expanded a recall of those batteries. As the commission's release puts it, the batteries "can overheat and rupture, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers."
And their property. Along with the seven injuries, an additional 36 consumers experienced property damage as a result of the defective batteries.
p>It's just the latest batch of reports from consumers to HP; the company recalled previous batches of the batteries in May 2009 and May 2010 after receiving reports of minor injuries and property damage. This recall is the largest, affecting 162,600 batteries.
According to the commission's announcement, 32 different model numbers of HP Pavilion, Compaq Presario, HP and HP Compaq notebook computers may use the recalled batteries. The computers were sold nationwide from July 2007 to July 2008.
It might also help to keep these recalls in mind when shopping for a used computer. A quick survey of the Craigslist "for sale" section found numerous HP, Compaq and other laptops listed. Although the commission's website points out that it's "illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product," we're betting that checking out the batteries on a used laptop is going to be up to you.
To see if you own an affected computer or battery, go here.
You can read the commission's bulletin here.

This powerful non-repellent termiticide concentrate creates an effective long-term barrier against termites around residential and commercial structures. Each bottles yields 50 - 100 gallons of insecticide for pest or termite control. While I Maxx Pro 2F is often used against termites, it is also labeled for carpenter ants and other wood-destroying insects.
|Target Pest(s):
|Subterranean termites, Drywood termites, carpenter ants and wood-infesting beetles or borers
|Manufactured By:
|Active Ingredient:
|Imidacloprid - 21.4%
|27.5 oz.
|0.5 oz per gallon or 0.6 oz per gallon of water.
Please refer to and follow the instructions on the Product label.
what a great product. really, i can't believe my termites were gone within three weeks! a neighbor told me that it would take at least 3-4 months. haha, yeah right!!
We have a country house we use for vacation. The problem is that the house often remains unattended for relatively prolonged periods of time and we worry about termites. If the house got infested then chances are, we'll only find out after months of activity on the part of the pests. We spoke to a professional exterminator about our concern a few months ago and he who suggested to us that we use monitoring stations and some sort of spray with a lasting effect. We purchased the I Maxx Pro 2F spray and the product has been working great for us. Highly recommended!
I purchased this as a gift to my mother's home. She called in the day before I bought this saying that her neighbors used this too for their termite control and they got great results. I guess she was hinting that that's what she wanted me to buy it for her!
This product was pretty fun to use. I felt professional spraying it with the Chapin gallon sprayer. The product was very good and I think that everyone should consider using it to help treat termites in their home structure.
Thanks for the fast free shipping!
I'm the head groundskeeper for a large housing development. We have a lot of houses and they all get sprayed for termites on a regular basis. I used to use a different product but it was much too expensive and I found out that the I Maxx Pro 2F has the same ingredients. I use this with a professional sprayer and each bottle goes a long way. I spray for termites a few times a year and we haven't had a problem with termites since I started using this product. This stuff works best with a real sprayer.

Have We Lost Our Minds?
Ok, I know that I am probably naive and that my own personal, moral beliefs may be a bit antiquated in this 21st century world I live in, but I just had to question this when I read this unbelievable article. (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,478924,00.html)
In this article, there is apparently some controversy around the fact that some people do not want people identified as "transgenders" going into bathrooms of the opposite sex. And since – at least to me – it is confusing to even identify which sex we are talking about here with individuals who are transgenders, I'm referring to the opposite of the sex of what the individual was born as. So apparently, in this Florida town, if an individual was born a man, and decides he is actually a woman, he has a right to use a woman's public bathroom. And vice versa for the individual born as a woman who feels she is actually a man.
Like I said, I'm sure my own beliefs are a bit antiquated here, but normally I consider myself somewhat tolerant. I don't approve of homosexuality, but I have never judged anyone who is. A very good friend of mine from about 20 years ago was a homosexual. I never tried to "change" him, I never tried to talk him out of his lifestyle. If he asked me how I felt about it though, I was honest and told him I thought it was wrong. But people do wrong things all the time (as do I) so I never felt it was my place to judge someone elses actions.
But this takes it a step too far. Honestly, I don't know much about transgenders, as a matter of fact I was unaware that they were a "protected" group in the same sense that we protect others from discrimination based on race, sex, etc. But equally honest, knowing any more about them will not change my perspective here.
What this is asking of people is to allow themselves and their children to be subjected to the possibility of being in a situation where they could be exposed to people who really are physically of the opposite sex. It's just plain wrong.
I have two wonderful girls. The thought of being in public and having them need to use a bathroom and then witness a man walk into that bathroom and my not being able to do anything about it makes my blood boil. I can't imagine why anyone would think this is acceptable.
The video they show in the news article is truthfully using a scare tactic to make people nervous about this. From what I understand, someone who is a transgender individual would not be dressed as a man. However, the video does have a very substantial impact, as it should. Whether anyone likes this or not, allowing something like this to happen is going to open up all sorts of possibilities for something bad to happen – such as pedophiles going in to bathrooms by pretending to be a transgender individual or even a man who just wants to see women in such a situation.
I understand our country is moving away from religious view points on many issues, which is unfortunate. But I am able to live with that for the most part. But, come on, even from a non-religious point of view, this has got to sound wrong! Is there a reason a third type of bathroom can't be invented?
There has got to be another way to resolve issues like this. I look at my little girls and am so concerned that we have really lost our minds in this country in our attempt to be fair to everyone.
