HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Heritage Conference, WestPAC end agreement
Just when it looked like things would work out for the Heritage Conference, the league was thrown another curveball.
In early October, conference officials were informed that the Western Pennsylvania Athletic Conference would be ending its agreement with the Heritage Conference after two years of playing crossover football games.
The leagues made a deal in 2011 to fill the open dates on each other's football schedules through the 2013 season. Even through late August, it seemed the agreement was going to be renewed through 2015.
"It was a great fit for us," said Cullen Stokes, United's athletic director and the Heritage Conference's secretary. "We've said it before: They're close to us, and they're close to us in size. So it worked out."
But then, on Aug. 27, Rockwood announced it was canceling its season due to a lack of players. The Rockets were set to enter their first game of the year with just 11 players and decided it was a safety hazard. With Rockwood out through at least the 2015 season, the WestPAC was left with 10 teams. It decided to move to a closed, conference schedule, but with 10 weeks in the District 5 and 6 regular seasons, it is unclear what teams will do in that extra week.
The Heritage Conference used to have the luxury of a closed schedule, but Laurel Valley High School closed in 2010, leaving the league with just nine teams to fill a nine-week schedule.
"We received a letter back in October from them that said they weren't going to be able to fulfill the requirements of the agreement with us," Stokes said. "With Rockwood dropping out, they thought it was best for their league to move to a closed schedule. And it probably is best for them. We understand that."
The Heritage Conference had a tough time filling open dates after Laurel Valley closed, but things got more difficult when District 6 implemented a rule prior to the 2012 season that requires its football teams to play a 10-game regular-season schedule. Teams then had to pick up a Week 10 game, despite already playing against a WestPAC team in their other open dates.
Now, with no WestPAC games to fill those open dates in Weeks 1 through 9, athletic directors are forced to find two non-conference games.
"Well, we've been working at it, and most schools have picked up another game already," Stokes said. "Most schools already had a Week 10 matchup because we knew that date would be open. But when we found out the deal with the WestPAC was over, each school went looking for another game. We looked for options together as a league, but that didn't work out because most teams already have their schedules filled. Some looked into District 9, and some of us will play St. Joseph's, but most of us found a game already. I don't think it's ideal, but I don't think we're in a bad situation, either."
St. Joseph's Catholic Academy, in Boalsburg, was new to the PIAA this year. Since it has no league affiliation, it was easy for Heritage teams to pick up a game with the Wolves for next season.
"(United), for example, Week 2 was our open date, so we scheduled St. Joe's for that week, and we were already to play Union out of District 9 in Week 10," Stokes said. "That's kind of how it was for most of us. There wasn't a whole lot we could do about it, and you can't blame them for doing something to better their league."
The nine-team format in the Heritage Conference doesn't cause as much of a scheduling problem in other sports because of the ability to schedule a game on pretty much any day of the week.
"It's just hard in football because you only have one game a week, and they play on only one day," Stokes said. "With basketball or something else, we kind of have free range to schedule it whenever we can get it in. But with only Friday nights available and the start of playoffs right away, you have to pretty much just find a team that has an open date the same as you."
In May, a deal almost went through that would have brought Leechburg, of the WPIAL, to the Heritage Conference. It fell through after Leechburg parents and school officials started voicing their concerns.
"We still look at that and wish it would've worked out, but it didn't, and we've moved on," Stokes said.
The relationship between the WestPAC and Heritage isn't tarnished over the end of the football agreement, and league officials hope that the two can unite in the future if and when another problem surfaces.
"We have to keep a working relationship with them in case something happens down the road — in any sport, not just football," Stokes said. "We almost had to opt out of the deal on them when the Leechburg thing happened, so we can't be upset about it. With them being so similar to us, they may need us, and we may need them for something. Who knows? But it's nice to have a good relationship with them."

Relay For Life of Winnebago County
Event Dates and Times
Friday, June 20, 2014 5:00 pm to Saturday, June 21, 2014 5:00 am
Rockford Christian Schools
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life movement gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay events, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, the overnight events last up to 24 hours. Each year, more than 4 million people in more than 5,200 communities in the United States, along with additional communities in 19 other countries, gather to take part in this global phenomenon and raise much-needed funds and awareness to save lives from cancer. Thanks to Relay participants, we are creating a world with more birthdays—a world where cancer never steals another year of anyone's life.
Every dollar helped raised goes to help fund research, assist cancer survivors and celebrate survivors. No matter how small the amount you raise is, it is significant to the lives of our cancer survivors. Just $100 helps buy a wig for a cancer patient. Your support is needed and greatly appreciated.

Finis Tasby
Tasby was born in Dallas, Texas in 1940. He formed a band called the Thunderbirds in Dallas in 1962. While working with the Thunderbirds, Tasby played bass and sang backup vocals behind legendary blues singer-songwriter Z.Z. Hill. Hill eventually secured a recording contract, as did Hill's replacement, Joe Simon. From the mid-1960s, Tasby led the band, delivering lead vocals and playing bass. When not touring under their own name, the Thunderbirds backed up the likes of Clarence Carter, Lowell Fulson and Freddie King, touring regionally throughout Texas and Oklahoma.
In 1973, Tasby moved to Los Angeles and found a home in that city's blues clubs. He formed a new group in Los Angeles and had the chance to open for B.B. King, Percy Mayfield and Big Mama Thornton.
Tasby recorded several singles in the 1970s and '80s: "Get Drunk and Be Somebody," in 1978, and "Blues Mechanic," a 1985 release for Ace Records. Tasby also landed an acting role in the film Sharkey's Machine with Burt Reynolds, all the while playing regularly around L.A. blues clubs with his own Finis Tasby Band. Most recently, three of Tasby's songs from his Shanachie Records debut, People Don't Care (1995), were featured in the mid-1990s film The Babysitter. While his singles are surely collectors' items, his 1995 Shanachie release is still readily available. Accompanying Tasby on People Don't Care are some world class talents: Lowell Fulson, Elvin Bishop, Mick Taylor and Vernon Reid, formerly of the rock group Living Colour. While some tracks on the album are less appealing, urban contemporary pop-blues, other tracks reveal Tasby's authentic Texas blues roots.
Tasby, a prolific songwriter, has many more good albums in his notebooks. Let's hope circumstances allow him to record and tour a lot more outside of Los Angeles. ~ Richard Skelly

Ralph Lauren's new collection evokes 19th century Russia, France
By Jonathan Allen
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wool coats and jackets befitting 19th-century Paris and elegant, hourglass-figured silk gowns suiting imperial Russia filled the fall and winter 2013 Ralph Lauren collection unveiled on Thursday at New York Fashion Week.
Evoking "Les Misérables" and "Anna Karenina," the American designer showed white high-collar ruffled blouses with bows at the neck and double-faced wool crepe stovepipe pants.
Coming on the final day of New York Fashion Week, Lauren's collection is one of the most highly anticipated among the hundreds put on display during the semi-annual event.
New York Fashion Week is followed by similar events in London, Paris and Milan.
Lauren's handsome coats, mostly in black, were double-breasted, high-collared and wide-lapelled, with generously loose shoulders and sleeves.
With models sporting raffish berets and peaked caps, some looks had a pronounced military influence. A black wool crepe jacket featured military-style gold stripes at the cuff.
A simple strapless gown in black textured wool, while hardly suitable for combat, was wittily marked with an air-force style insignia over the decolletage.
Rich velvet dresses in Prussian blue and purple swished and flowed with Bohemian looseness, matched with long chains of multicolored jewel-like beads and carpet bags that would have pleased Mary Poppins. Continued...

Thomas and Bertie! is a magazine story illustrated using photographs from the television series.
One day, Thomas was waiting at a junction when a bus named Bertie rolled into the yard. The pair get into an argument about who is faster and decide to stage a race. Thomas took a while to build up speed, so Bertie went a long way ahead. Thomas did not mind, he remembered the level crossing where he overtakes the bus.
It is not long before Thomas has to stop at a station. Everyone got out quickly and Thomas set off once again. At the next station, Thomas heard Bertie tooting at him before the bus raced away. Thomas was sure he had lost, but he felt better after a drink. Soon, Thomas rumbled over the bridge and spotted Bertie waiting at a traffic light. When the light turned green, Bertie started with a roar. But Thomas was now at full speed and Bertie fell behind.
Annie and Clarabel shout out as they whoosh into the last station. Everybody cheered for Thomas and they gave Bertie a big welcome too. Now Thomas and Bertie are great friends.

Here's me goin fast!
1 Attachment(s)
It's official, Foci will be represented in the world of Autocross in the Lower Mainland (BC). I did my driver training course on Saturday, and I'm stoked on the next practice event coming up on the 21st.
Last season, an SVT / driver got really good, really quick, and had all the big guns pretty worried, so this year when I mention Focus everyone takes notice.
The Focus / I did really well, a couple of the instructors drove it and were impressed. Pretty good considering it is all stock, except for Avon ZZ1 tires 205-55-R15 on stock wheels, and a direct replacement K&N air filter. I have discovered that in the world of Autocross, big power will help you for about 20% of the course, while big handling will help you for about 90% of the course! So get your car out to the track! You'll be pleasantly suprised and smiling BIG!
Anyways, here's a pic of me goin fast, enjoy!
BTW, anyone want to learn more about Autocross, my car club has a website with a message board and a bunch of usefull links and information. www.vcmc.ca
haha doesnt look like your even moving. thats a really fast exposure.
yeah, awesome picture!
Nice pic. And cool sh** ya doing, u r pretty lucky.
Congrats, and good luck[thumb]
looks like alot of fun
Nice pic, looks like you had a blast. Congrats and best of luck to you in future runs. [;)]
Cool, man, cool :)

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|i have a Solomon prospect that is about 4 years old. Im not very familiar with the newer models but as a beginner i loved it. But as i got my skills up i hated it. I learned that the Prospect was very heavy compared to other boards and it had No edge at all. It at was also very stiff which was perfect for free riding and it is fast as hell when you wax it right. but it was a little too stiff for me. its a good board but its really want do you want out of it. I mean it has barely no edge so thats good for a beginner so you dont catch any edges but as you get your skills up i am positive you will not like the board any more. But again I have a 4 year old one , and i do not know how the New models are Built etc. I know thats not much help. I now have a Burton Custom and its a great board. I like it. To tell you the truth. A custom would probably suit you pretty good if you know how to link your turns and stop. Basically if you know your basics. its a board you will be able to work with for many years. But if you have never ridden before then you may catch some edges.
|I have a forum seeker, somewat similar to destroyer, this board has decent flex and stability. has good carving as well, good all around board.
Forum Destroyer or Salomon Prospect?
Need help choosing between these two, they are exactly the same price at $200 New. I'm a quick learning newbie that is 5'10" 185lbs, size 10 boot. I want a board that is a good all-arounder that I can progress with.
What do you guys think?

21st Century Viking: What happened to Sunset Bowl?
By Brian LeBlanc
In February 2013, the first residents started to move into the AVA Ballard complex on NW Market St and 14th Ave NW where Sunset Bowl once stood. Back in 2008, there was hope that the Sunset could be saved and moved to a new location in Ballard or that a new bowling alley would open in the new building. What happened to those ideas? How are we going to create similar communities in the Ballard of the future?
In early 2008, the owners of Sunset Bowl sold the property to AvalonBay for $13.2 million and the bowling alley closed later that spring. AvalonBay Communities, Inc. is a publicly traded corporation that, according to their website, "is in the business of developing, redeveloping, acquiring and managing high-quality apartment communities in the high barrier-to-entry markets of the United States."
Ballard resident Jim Bristow saw the 24-hour bowling alley as a vital part of the neighborhood and started the "Save Sunset Bowl" campaign. He gathered over 4,000 signatures and offered to put up $100,000 of his own money to step in and purchase the Sunset Bowl. AvalonBay offered Bristow a one-year lease on the building while he tried to find another location in Ballard or Interbay. At the same time, the economy was tanking and taking over a bowling alley was going to be a big risk. A contractor by trade, his goal wasn't to manage a bowling alley but to keep one in Ballard and "hand over the reins." Alternate sites were considered, including the old Nelson Chevrolet building (now the Hilliard's brewery) on NW 49th St and the property next to the Hjarta building on Market Street, but unfortunately nothing materialized. "If the economy hadn't gone the way it did at the time, I was 80 percent sure something would have happened," Bristow said.
Bristow also talked with AvalonBay representatives about designing a bowling alley that could operate in the AVA Building, and even talked to architects about the idea. While AvalonBay representatives verbally promised him -- and the News-Tribune -- that they would consider the idea, Bristow is not sure how serious they were. Bristow said he understands that AvalonBay is a business that builds high-end apartments and that having a bowling alley in the building might have been a concern for potential renters. His intent was never to disrupt the project but to work with them to keep a bowling alley in Ballard.
I contacted the AvalonBay to ask what retail stores were scheduled to open in the AVA building and whether a bowling alley was ever considered but was unable to talk with any representatives on the record before this piece was submitted.
Now, where a uniquely Ballard hangout spot once stood is an apartment and retail complex that is not much different from the others that have sprung up along Market Street in the past five years. I don't begrudge the owners of the Sunset for selling their land nor AvalonBay for building their newest complex on what is now prime real estate. The question now is how and when are we going to create a similar community resource for Ballard in the 21st century?
The opening of the AVA is the sign that the Ballard of the future is already here. Ballard is no longer a quiet Norwegian fishing neighborhood, but rather it is rapidly becoming part of Downtown Seattle. Part of this rapid change means that a lot of things that used to make Ballard unique are passing from the scene. At the same time, the fact that our community is changing means it is still alive and evolving!
In the end, you can't wait for someone else to create the next Sunset Bowl. You need to put yourself out there and make an impact on the Ballard community.
We also have to welcome our new neighbors who live in places like the AVA and get them to fall in love with this neighborhood like I did when I first arrived. We can forge the Ballard community of the 21st Century together.
With some luck, maybe we'll get to talk about it someday after we bowl a couple of frames.

The inheritance examples we looked at last week used the form
Rectangle.prototype = new Shape(). The reason I like this example is it shows how powerful prototypes are, despite their simplicity. The downside is the constructor for the parent object is executed, which isn't always what's desired.
ECMAScript 5 introduced
Object.create, which creates new objects based on a prototype object and an additional set of properties.
The main differences between
B.prototype = new A(); and
B.prototype = Object.create(A.prototype) are as follows:
A isn't called, so
B remains uninitialised until instantiated
Object.create accepts a second argument that causes
Object.create to behave as if
Object.defineProperties was called
Last week's
Shape example could be rewritten to use
function Shape() {
this.x = 0;
this.y = 0;
console.log('Shape constructor called');
Shape.prototype = {
move: function(x, y) {
this.x += x;
this.y += y;
// Rectangle
function Rectangle() {
console.log('Rectangle constructor called');
this.x = 0;
this.y = 0;
Rectangle.prototype = Object.create(Shape);
Now rectangles can be created with
var rect = new Rectangle() and the original
Shape constructor won't be called. This leaves us with a cleaner prototype chain, but what if we still want to call the previous constructor? In this particular example, calling the
Shape constructor is desirable because we'll avoid duplicating some initialisation code.
By using the
Function.prototype.call or
apply methods, it's entirely possible to call another constructor even when using
Object.create. For example:
function Shape() {
this.x = 0;
this.y = 0;
console.log('Shape constructor called');
Shape.prototype = {
move: function(x, y) {
this.x += x;
this.y += y;
// Rectangle
function Rectangle() {
console.log('Rectangle constructor called');
Rectangle.prototype = Object.create(Shape.prototype);
The fact
call and
apply take a
this parameter (known as ThisBinding in the ECMAScript specification) allows us to reuse constructors where required.
By passing
null to
Object.create, objects can be created that don't inherit from anything. By default
Object.prototype is used, which has several built-in methods. What if we don't want to inherit from
function Shape() {
Shape.prototype = Object.create(null);
var shape = new Shape();
In this example,
undefined will be printed -- objects created using the
Shape constructor inherit from
Notice that this is not equivalent:
function Shape() {
Shape.prototype = null;
var shape = new Shape();
This should print something like
[Function: toString] rather than
It's interesting to think about exactly why this is useful. In An Object is not a Hash, Guillermo Rauch discusses how the properties of
Object.prototype can be used to potentially cause security issues, and
Object.create(null) was suggested as a suitable means for creating a "clean" object to avoid the problem.
Another point is performance. These Object.create(null) benchmarks demonstrate iterating over various objects, and the
Object.create(null) tests run faster than object literals.
However, be very careful when using this approach because so many libraries expect objects to have the standard methods.
According to the Annotated ECMAScript 5 Object.create documentation, passing a second argument behaves as if
Object.defineProperties had been called. This method requires a bit of knowledge before it can be used -- the properties have to be passed in the expected format.
In this example,
Rectangle inherits from
Shape and gets a property called
animate at the same time:
Rectangle.prototype = Object.create(Rectangle.prototype, {
animate: {
value: function() {
this.animating = true;
var rect = new Rectangle();
rect.animate() can be called, just like any other method. Notice that the second argument is in the form
{ propertyName: { value: function() {} } } -- the
value property is important and I haven't arbitrarily picked it. These properties are known as property attributes.
Property attributes can be "named data" and "named attribute" properties. These additional flags can be applied to named data properties:
writable: Determines if the property is writable
enumerable: Should this property be included in
for-in enumeration?
configurable: If
false, attempts to delete or change the property's attributes will fail
Although this is new to ECMAScript 5, it adds a much desired level of control to properties and their definition.
Property attributes allow JavaScript to support getters and setters with a lightweight syntax:
function Rectangle() {
this._animating = false;
Rectangle.prototype = Object.create(Shape.prototype, {
animating: {
get: function() {
console.log('Rectangle.prototype.animating get');
return this._animating;
set: function(value) {
console.log('Rectangle.prototype.animating set');
this._animating = value;
var rect = new Rectangle();
rect.animating = true;
In this example I've renamed
animating to
_animating, but it can still be accessed using
rect.animating because I've defined an
animating property with a
get and
set method.
This makes it possible to track whenever this value is changed, as illustrated by the
console.log calls.
In JavaScript implementations that don't include
Object.create, this second argument may not be supported. The ECMAScript 5 compatibility table by Kangax has a wide range of compatibility tests that can help you decide if it's safe to use it.

This pages shows photographs of the lithography printing process. For an brief overview of lithography, visit » Printmaking 101
This print, called "Swamp" is the result of a season's worth of sketching and painting. The 55 1/2 cm by 80 1/2 cm prints were pulled from a 400lb slab of Bavarian limestone using a revised etching and printing method.
Printing was executed using roll-up ink in order to achieve a far more sensitive and detailed image.
Remember, lithography is the art of printing from a flat stone (limestone) or metal plate by a method based on the simple fact that grease attracts grease as it repels water.
A design or image is drawn on the surface (in this case, a piece of limestone) with a greasy material - grease crayon, pencil or ink - and then water and printing ink are applied. The greasy parts absorb the ink and the wet parts do not.
Geoff prepares the ink.
Geoff rolls up the ink while Andrea keeps the limestone wet.
Geoff rolls the ink on the limestone.
The paper is placed on the limestone.
Geoff runs the limestone and paper through the press.
After the limestone is run through the press with paper, the paper is removed.
The finished print!

You loose tracking plus the really wide hull makes it a barge with increased drag making it twice as hard to paddle.
Side to side movement robs you of forward momentum while paddling. I paddle kayaks and canoes and paddled a Aquapod one day and thought it was a floating brick.

Relapse of 'cured' HIV patients spurs AIDS science on
By Kate Kelland, Health and Science Correspondent
LONDON (Reuters) - Scientists seeking a cure for AIDS say they have been inspired, not crushed, by a major setback in which two HIV positive patients believed to have been cured found the virus re-invading their bodies once more.
True, the news hit hard last month that the so-called "Boston patients" - two men who received bone marrow transplants that appeared to rid them completely of the AIDS-causing virus - had relapsed and gone back onto antiretroviral treatment.
But experts say the disappointment could lay the basis for important leaps forward in the search for a cure.
"It's a setback for the patients, of course, but an advance for the field because the field has now gained a lot more knowledge," said Steven Deeks, a professor and HIV expert at the University of California, San Francisco.
He and other experts say the primary practical message is that current tests designed to detect even very low levels of HIV present in the body are simply not sensitive enough.
As well as having the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the Boston patients both also had a type of blood cancer called lymphoma, for which they were treated using bone marrow transplants - one man in 2008 and the other in 2010.
They continued taking the antiretroviral AIDS drugs, but eight months after each patient's transplant, doctors found they could not detect any sign of HIV in their blood.
In the early part of 2013, both patients decided to stop taking their AIDS drugs and both appeared to remain HIV-free - prompting their doctors, Timothy Henrich and Daniel Kuritzkes from Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital, to announce at a conference in July that they may have been cured.

Never raced one and saw one on the 60fwy West. I wasn't gonna race it but I noticed him looking back at me and started to floor it. I let him go and counted for 5sec and down shifted to 4th and flew by him like a shooting star. I then did a WOT from 3rd to 4th and gave him a flame show from my exhaust.
Guy was cool and asked what mods I had and we gave thumbs up. These Scion look like minnie G35's don't they???

The German Shepherd is a dog whose original function was to herd and work. The German Shepherds are used as service dogs in search and rescue work, tracking, as a seeing eye dog, to herd sheep and cattle, or as a guard dog, and in drug detection. The basic instinct of the breed lends itself to these multiple uses. Because of its unique versatility, most families use the dog as a companion, pet for their children, or as an obedience or show dog.
Welcome to the home of the
Calico Junction German Shepherds
You will find that there are different types of German Shepherd dogs. They display a difference not only in their appearance, but also in their abilities and temperament. We at Calico Junction Mule Ranch are striving to keep the gene of the long coat ancestors alive, thereby keeping the original conformation with a calm disposition while maintaining the natural protective and working instincts of the dog. We specialize in breeding and raising exceptional German Shepherds for caring, loving and responsible owners. With our standard, plush or long coat German Shepherd puppies you can be assured of acquiring a healthy, well-socialized family companion that will add many years of happiness to your home.

Independent expert to review fibre-optic cable project – PM
-two years behind schedule
An independent third party expert has been requested to examine the project bringing the terrestrial fibre-optic cable from Brazil, Prime Minister Samuel Hinds has said.
Responding to questions posed by APNU parliamentarian Joseph Harmon in the National Assembly on the project and its Manager Alexei Ramotar, Hinds in a written response said that the Dense Wavelength Division Multiplex Long-Haul (DWDM) Fibre project is well within its budget and while it has an estimated cost of US$5 million, approximately US$600,000 still remains in the budget, he said.
"It should be noted that this project is using local labour and contractors. Since this is the first project of its kind for Guyana, it has encountered some challenges which were unknown, which have created delays," he said in the response circulated in parliament on Monday.
"There was improper handling and installation of the fibre cables which has led to damage of some lengths of cable. In addition, road (wash-aways) and the building of the new 4-lane road on the EBD, as well as vandalism have significantly contributed to the delays of approximately two years in implementing this project," the Prime Minister said.
The fibre optic project was one of those that former President of Guyana Bharrat Jagdeo hyped during the months in the run up to the 2011 general elections.
Hinds' explanation to Harmon underlined that two distinct projects were encompassed in the question that he asked. The DWDM is separate from what is known as the E-Government Project. This project, Hinds said, aims to provide the necessary Information and Communication Technology so that government can provide better service to all Guyanese.
It encompasses the setting up of a fibre link between Moleson Creek, Corentyne; Georgetown; Parika, East Bank Essequibo and a fibre ring within Georgetown. A high speed microwave link will also be set up between Linden and Georgetown and will serve as a back up to the fibre network. This microwave network will be managed from the data centre in Georgetown which will serve as the repository for government information "allowing for more efficient access by government agencies, better security through a centralized command and control centre…" A cloud design is being employed for this. The project also entails a wireless access network catering for the connection of schools, community centres and other government agencies with smaller data needs.
Hinds asserted that this project has not had extensive delays. He said the project was to be completed in April 2014 but this has now been extended to August 2014 for a number of technical changes. This included switching from WiMax and EVDO networks to an LTE-Advanced network. The PM said that this change made in January 2012 allowed for a lower cost network. The savings were employed to shift from 30 WiMax/EVDO sites to 54 LTE-Advanced sites, thereby allowing better high speed coverage in the major populated areas. It also allowed the creation of a new site in Lethem and this caused a delay of about two months.
In October 2012 a redesign of the LTE tower foundation was done between the Ministry of Public Works representing the E-Government Project Unit and Huawei, the contractor. The redesign delayed the project by around one month. Additional delays arose from the difficulty in procuring piles and bad weather. The PM said that E-government project costs US$32m, is within budget and there are no expected cost overruns.
Referring to the DWDM, Hinds said that it had its genesis in 2007 when international communications to and from Guyana were disrupted for approximately three weeks. This project aims at a high capacity, high speed terrestrial fibre network linking up with a Brazilian fibre optic cable which is connected to the global network. There are repeater and add/drop sites which will ensure that the network can be extended as needs be.
Several local companies were contracted for this project: Cummings Electrical –installation of power, solar generator for DWDM sites; Dynamic Engineering – Georgetown to Wismar, fibre installation; Dax Contracting Services – Wismar to Mabura, fibre installation; Bovell Construction – Mabura to Kurupukari, fibre installation; MMC – Kurupukari to Lethem, fibre installation.
On Ramotar's qualifications, Hinds provided his CV and said he has a Masters in Computer Science from the University of Waterloo and a BSc in Computer Science (Distinction) from the University of Guyana and over a decade of work experience. Hinds noted that he was hired for the project in 2010 prior to his father's run for presidential office. His gross salary is $650,000 per month.
He served as a network engineer at Guysuco from 2002 to 2007 and also worked at Digicel before moving to the Office of the President in 2009.

World powers to meet in Brussels to map out Iran plans
By Justyna Pawlak
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Officials from six world powers meet in Brussels on Wednesday to plan for a possible new round of talks with Iran, the latest effort to resolve a decade-long stand-off over its nuclear program and avert the threat of a military conflict.
The re-election of U.S. President Barack Obama this month has cleared the way for new talks and Western diplomats are eager to start soon as signs grow that Iran is still building up its nuclear capacity.
But the window of opportunity for a negotiated solution is narrowing because of growing alarm over Tehran's nuclear course in Israel, which has threatened to bomb Iranian installations.
Any Israeli strike, which would spark more fighting in the Middle East, is unlikely before the country's January 22 election, experts say, giving the six powers some room for maneuver.
"There certainly is a window to do a deal, but that window is closing, and closing fast. Ultimately it depends on the Iranians meeting their international obligations," said Ariel Ratner, former Obama administration political appointee on Middle East issues at the State Department.
In hopes of a breakthrough, and despite deep skepticism a deal with Tehran can be reached, the powers - Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States - are revising their strategy after three inconclusive rounds of negotiations this year.
Their plan could be presented to Iran in talks, convened by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, which diplomats say may take place in the coming months in Istanbul.
"The idea of the (Wednesday) meeting is to coordinate on what kind of offer we are going to go forward with to Iran," said one senior Western official, familiar with the planning. Continued...

2nd story in home is no longer level
Good Morning I am new to this forum and need some help please. My Master bedroom 2nd floor has a fireplace ( added weight in that area it is just over the patio) and due to the POOR design of my home that area is no longer lever. What is supporting that area are a couple of wood beams that are part of a very small patio. One of the beams has shifted (its not loose) but it is now slanted and the upstairs bedroom floor is no longer level. I was doing some research and looks like I should get hydraulic jack..lift area slow..1/8 of inch per day then get a telepost and rebuild or replace the beam with something much sturdier and more secure. Is this correct information? Not sure how it happened ..perhaps a tree that fell a few years ago knocked somthing out of place.. Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
With no pictures it's anyones guess.
Even then it's not a great DIY job. Someone that knows what there doing really needs to look this over. For every action there's an oppisite and equal reaction.
adding photo
I will add a photo of the patio, showing the slanted beam. There is no photo that will show the upstairs floor is not level you can just notice when you walk on it that it slopes a bit...
It seems some people have forgotten that this is a DIY forum, not a site to ask contractors. All I see recently are these replies: "It is not a DIY job" "Hire a contractor" "You can't do this yourself"
What is with everybody being so negative lately? There also seems to be a lack of new posters, these replies all seem to be coming from a small group. I thought this place had over 100,000 members? It seems like only 50 or so do the majority of the posting.
my reasons for posting replies is to ensure the following:
1. safety of those DIY'ers and their property
2. ensuring they have code compliant construction by checking with the local building official and getting permits if they are required. what happens when you do the work without a permit and then the building inspector discovers it? he can require you to tear out the work if it is not compliant, or require you to bring it into compliance. how much extra money will that cost? what if you don't have the money to do this?
3. let them know when I do not think the proposed work is within the scope of the knowledge and experience of a DIY'er and should be handled by a professional.
if you think we are wrong in our concerns then why didn't you explain to her what she needs to do?
just saying ... :whistling2:
Yeah, you are all quick to reply that is is not feasible, why not hold your horses and wait until somebody who does know about floor leveling and structural integrity tell the OP what they can do themselves? I'm sure there is SOMETHING a homeowner can do to save time/money instead of paying a contractor hundreds or thousands.
The OP obviously doesn't realize this. He just wants to jack the house up and fix the beam. That's dangerous thinking and a professional should look at this. This OBVIOUSLY isn't a DIY'er job and is very dangerous with an inexperienced person doing this no matter what information someone gives him over the internet. It's all about safety which you obviously don't think matters. In your mind DIY'ers can do any job on their homes no matter how dangerous the job entails.
Anyone with common sense would know this is a dangerous job for an inexperienced person.
I've been doing this almost 30 years and have done many jobs like he's describing. Took me years to learn how to fix dangerous things like this. A guy like him can't just learn this over night and ask people on the internet how to fix a second floor that is sinking.
I'll bet a dollar that when Daniel Holzman (engineer) shows up on this thread he will agree that this is not a DIY job. MAJOR structural repairs to a home, like jacking up a floor of a two-story house to try and level it, do not lend themselves to a half-baked homeowner fix.
If the original poster was Mike Holmes, with many years of construction experience, then maybe he could assess WHY the floor is sinking, figure out the point loads from the top floor to the basement, determine how to raise the floor without breaking it, and properly support the floor once it is raised. But even he would advocate using a structural engineer for the design! And he would not be coming here for help.
So to try and help out an inexperienced homeowner resolve a complex problem like this, without so much as a photo or diagram of the problem, is absurd. The BEST advice for this problem is to contact a structural engineer or some other qualified professional and go from there.
[edit] I was about to say Joe Carola should know something about this, and as it turns out, he was typing it at the same time. And well said Joe. [/edit]
sorry for the confusion
1 Attachment(s)
I am attaching a photo of the area. The middle post is slanted and that is what is primarily supporting the fireplace upstairs which is the part that extends out. I do not have a basement and it has nothing to do with the foundation. I am looking at getting 2 hydraulic jacks, adding a telepost, correcting and adding more support which will hopefully correct the problem. I am not taking anything apart. If that doesn't work I will then call a professional it will be no worse than it is now. I know I can call a professional but I wanted to exhaust my other options first. Its not exactly brain surgery..
Thanks for your time.
Nancy Attachment 50378
To long a span for the joist holding up that much weight and a cantilivered fireplace, no wonder it's saging.
It looks from the photo like the two posts are sitting directly on the slab, there may not be a footing underneath them. That should be corrected. The posts need to be properly attached both at the top and bottom, that means use of the correct bracket. Improper attachment detail can lead to sudden, catastrophic failure in the event of impact (vehicle hits post or house), high wind, earthquake.
The framing should be looked at closely, obviously impossible to tell how large and what type of beam is holding up the fireplace, it may be undersized. There are standard ways to frame a bay window, you may want to adopt a similar method for the overhanging fireplace.
This job may be suitable for a skilled DIY'er, but it is certainly an advanced project due to the need for temporary bracing, probable installation of new footings, and probable need for framing modifications to the overhang. You could certainly hire an engineer, but it is probably not necessary, a skilled framer with deep code knowledge and practical experience can likely take care of fixing the problems.
If you decide to fix this yourself, a couple words of caution. You are almost certainly going to need to remove one or both posts, so you are going to need temporary support. People can and do get killed and injured due to inadequate support, so make absolutely sure you totally understand how to support this safely before you start. Halfway into the project is a very bad time to start wondering if the supports are going to hold. Be careful out there.

Ground wire behind baseboard
I just bought my first house. I have a sunken den which has no crawl space and very limited attic space. It also has wood paneling all around the room. I want to ground all 3 outlets in the room (they are 3-prong outlets but no ground). I want to avoid destroying the wood paneling and I want to avoid running wires to the stucco outside. 2 electricians I've talked to has suggested running the ground wire behind the baseboards I'm going to be installing after put on my laminate floors. Is this an good solution? Any concerns with this setup?
Thanks a lot
No I don't see an issue with that setup.
A ground wire only? or a new cable with ground wire in it? If the cable is less then 1.25 inches from surface then you need to protect it from nails and screws.
If you can find the first receptacle in the circuit, you can install a GFCI for added protection. You still will not have a ground, but it will protect from electrical shock. I doubt it would give you any protection for electronic equipment. But I have been wrong before.
ahhh, I might have misunderstood them because I thought they said to run the ground wire behind the baseboards.
I'm not really knowledgeable with electrical stuff so my question would be why can't I just run ground wire separately and must run the new cables?
Also, have you guys had any experience with WireMolds?
There are various situations where surface mounting or mounting the separate ground wire under or behind the baseboard (or on the other side of the wall possibly on the exterior) is much simpler than running new in-wall cables with ground. Notably one might not want to tear open the wall. The ground wire need only approximate the routing of the in-wall cables back to the panel.
I personally would not bother with Wiremold for just the one ground conductor.
Issue of Ground/ed wire behind baseboard?
Presently there is no problem with running the ground wire [for several outlets] behind the baseboard. But, since ground wire does not have to be protected against mechanical injury (in plain English, damage! It could even be bare.) any future renovations might leave those outlets without ground protection!!!:yes::drink:

This is Santiago
14 hours is plenty of time
Pucon can keep its rain – we were headed for sunnier pastures north. After a 10 hour overnight bus trip where I got precisely 0 sleep we were in Santiago. What am I – the world's premier magnet for snorers? Anyway we had 14 hours in Santiago and a few things planned so after dumping our bags with the nice man at the 'custodia' office we walked into town to see what could be seen.
I wasn't prepared to do anything without first having a coffee. I probably wasn't even able to do much more than find a coffee store. After that necessity accomplished it was time to find our "free walking tour". Note that nothing is ever really free and the people taking these tours reply on tips – the recommended tip being pretty reasonable though. At the appointed place at the appointed time we met Antonio who would turn out to be our own private tour guide as no-one else showed up. Result! Thus for the next 4 hours we followed him around listening to political, historical, architectural and personal facts about Santiago, Chile and himself. All very interesting! The street art caught my eye – countless walls, fences and doors have been given a colourful makeover.
Antonio confirmed something we had already worked out for ourselves in the short time we had been in Santiago – "coffee shops" come in all shapes and sizes, but the "girls" working in them aren't there to make coffee if you know what I mean. Be very careful which cafes you enter!
The only other noteworthy event of the early morning was an extremely close call between Mike and another stray but otherwise nice looking dog. Careful not to spill his coffee (bought from a proper café, not the men's club variety of course) the dog eyed up his ankle but Mike shouting "bite me and I'll wop yo ass" sent him running. The absolutely side-splittingly hilarious part (for me) was watching the face of an elderly man as he walked past at that precise moment. He understood 100% what Mike said and found it almost as funny as I did. Glad to be able to provide some entertainment for the locals on their way to work on a Monday morning.
After our tour it was time for the best empanadas Santiago has to offer, at the oldest establishment (cerca 1930). Pretty good too (maybe even better than those we had in Bariloche but it's a tough call). This little feast was followed by a small lie down in the park because by this time we had been walking around non-stop for 5 ½ hours and the sun was killing us.
Feeling somewhat restored our next objective was to climb San Cristobel. Only 45 minutes of straight up climbing so not up to our usual mountaineering standards but in 29 degrees C the sunscreen was literally dripping off by the time we reached the top. The view from the top was pretty spectacular (not up to Cerro Campanario standards though). A few pictures at the top was followed by unknowingly following the LONG path down, taking about 2 hours to get back to the ice-cream store that had taken our fancy beforehand.
A slow stroll back to the bus station and that was the end of our 14 hours in Santiago. 10 hours of walking and we had managed to do everything we wanted to, with a few extras. Getting on the bus for another overnight journey was made close to perfection by the fact we had paid an extra £2 for a "cama bed" – almost fully reclining. Not bad for bus travel, and that bad boy chair was very comfortable. Having to get out at 1.30am to do all the necessary immigration/passport stamping and bag searching was a real kick in the teeth though.
Next stop: wine, wine, and more wine in Mendoza with a bit of bike riding and a bit of really excellent food.
Ciao, Keely

They have also issued demolition orders and "stop-work" orders against a long list of other EU-funded schemes, including: 14 water cisterns; 34 water sanitation facilities; eight solar energy schemes; two schools and a medical centre.
In one example on 13 February, Israeli bulldozers damaged Polish-funded repair work to an ancient well in the "illegal" Palestinian village of El Rahawia in the West Bank at the same time as flattening the village itself and making 83 people homeless.
In another case on 23 April, the Israeli army destroyed two French-built Palestinian wells in the Hebron area prompting a public complaint by the French foreign ministry.
The commission estimates that Israel smashed up €49-million-worth of EU-funded projects in total in the 2001 to 2011 period.
EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels on Monday (14 May) are set to agree a three-page-long statement detailing complaints about displacements in the West Bank.
But Israeli-friendly member states - chiefly Italy and the Netherlands - have quashed suggestions by EU embassies in the region to impose penalties, such as blocking imports of Israeli-settler-made products or an EU visa ban on settler radicals.
The destruction of EU-funded projects is the tip of the iceberg.
According to the UN-linked NGO, the Displacement Working Group, Israel demolished 267 Palestinian structures in East Jerusalem and in the West Bank in the first four months of this year. It demolished 622 last year.
At the same time, it has legalised some 7,500 new housing units for Jewish settlers, while giving free rein to violent attacks by settlers against natives.
"The highest price is paid by vulnerable men, women, and children whose rights are violated as they are deprived of water," Ayman Rabi, from local NGO the Palestinian Hydrology Group, noted.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank after a war against neighbouring Arab states in 1967.
Its step-by-step resource-gobbling has seen the Palestinian population in the occupied Jordan Valley, for instance, go down from between 200,000 and 320,000 to 56,000 today. At the same time the Jewish population has gone up from 1,200 to 310,000.
Israeli soldiers earlier drove out hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in 1948. The refugees and their descendants still live in camps in Lebanon, Jordan and Syria and are forbidden from going home.
The Palestinians mark the 1948 events under the name "nakba" or "catastrophe" each 15 May. Last year, Israeli soldiers killed at least 14 of them when groups marched in protest to the Israeli border.

Your occasional flashes of insight, however, do not justify your acting like a complete prick at the slightest suggestion that someone doesn't agree with you.
This group is a broad church. There are Ásatrúar here. There are Caballists. Thelemites. Sufi. Gnostics. Rosicrucians. Neo-Hellenics. Wiccans: Alexandrian, Garderian, Sæx, Strigera, Dianic, etc. Discordians. SubGenii. Chaosites. You'll probably even find a couple of (the shock!) Christians floating around. This is a place where everyone believes something which at least one other person will find disturbing, incorrect, laughable or blasphemous.
Putting your ideas out is a good thing. Sharing ideas is something which enriches everyone — even the sharing of bad ideas can be educational.
But there is a price to be paid. Sometimes other people don't like your ideas. Sometimes they don't like the way your idea is expressed. Sometimes people are just idiots. That is part of life. The point is, responding to criticism with "God-cursed atheist", and by deleting the responses you don't like, is not a sign that you are responding maturely to feedback.
Let me say that I am not trying to disparage your faith.
I will, however, take a stance against your Holier-than-thou B.S.
For a start, you seem to have a chip on your shoulder against those who practice reconstructed religions. Wicca especially. Let me let you in on a secret: You are practising a reconstructed religion. That you have done your own reconstruction does not make it less reconstructed.
Your refusal to allow anyone else to show the slightest scepticism, or worse, cynicism does not make you more right. It does not convince anyone. It just shows you up as less secure in your faith. You have divided the universe into "people who agree with Robin", and "gods-cursed atheist idiots".
You call out those "who think that they corner the market on Witchcraft and Sorcery". Apart from the arrogance of your tone, you really do show yourself to be a hypocrite, unable or unwilling to notice the beam in your own eye. You are correct, and your proof is that you are correct. Well, when you have stopped rhetorically recirculating up your own fundament, maybe you would stand back and have a look at your own case. Maybe, when all those people start criticising you, start worrying about you, start laughing at you, maybe it's not them. Maybe it's you.
You talk about the Gods. And fair enough. You talk about the Spirits. Fair enough. You talk about how the Gods respond to Love, Faith and Intention. Fair enough. But you seem to be getting confused. You are an Ásatrúar. You are a Druid. You are a witch (NOT WICCAN! NOT WICCAN!!). You are, in the way you describe your view of Witchcraft, basically a Shaman. Verily, you are a Pagan Renaissance Man. But aren't there a couple of contradictions? If you are so attached to England, why Ásatrú? I mean, sure, it is the closest that we have to the Saxon Pagan religion, but why don't you say so? And you attach yourself to Druidry. ahhh, what? You get a bee in your bonnet about reconstructionists and post-modernists, but don't see a problem with following two separate pantheons? Or are you an Ásatrú Witch Druid?
Sure, follow one God or many. Worship from whatever pantheon you like. Go on a spirit quest with John Lennon, and summon the genius spirits of computers and cars. But don't, please, tell me off for being not traditionalist enough.
Quite simply, in my opinion, you are a fundamentalist. Not just my opinion, either. You show all the characteristics.
- An idiosyncratic understanding of theology.
- Personal research and meditation leading you to the conclusion that you are the single sane, rational light of reason, destined to lead the worthy to salvation; and conversely, the certain knowledge that all who disagree with you are insane, irrational, and/or tools of demons.
- A complete and total lack of anything resembling a sense of humour.
As I said to you, before you petulantly deleted the comment,
And your reaction to people laughing at your o'erweening presumption to be able to tell us what is True and what is Lies merely reinforces the initial impression: However old you are, however well-read, inside you're just a scared 13-year-old boy, dressing up in leather and talking loudly to anyone in range about how bad-ass and hardcore you are, desperately fearing that you will be found out.And your deletion of that comment was the last straw. Had you had the grace to have left it, I would not have felt the need to call you out in public like this.
But that's ok. One day you'll grow up. I'll talk to you then.
I promise not to delete any of your comments, Robin, should you choose to respond. It's the grownup thing to do.

Growing Kantola, Kakrol, Spine Gourd
Scientific name of spine gourd is Momordica dioica. Spine gourd is a cucurbitaceous vegetable which is closely related to bitter gourd. However, it is not bitter in taste as bitter gourd. As in case of other cucurbitaceous vegetables (cucurbits) which mainly include melons and gourds, spine gourd is also grown as a summer vegetable in tropical and subtropical countries. Spine gourd is called Kantola or kakrol in Hindi, mada hagalakai in Kannada, kadu peere in Tulu, and paagila in Konkani.
Spine gourd is believed to be originated in the tropics of the old world. (Please refer PPT-'centers of crop origin' for more information)
Nutritional Value per 100 gm of Edible Vegetable
Spine gourd has a high nutritional and medicinal value. It helps build natural immunity of a human body. Spine gourd contains 84.1% moisture, 7.7 g of carbohydrate, 3.1 g of protein, 3.1 g of fat, 3.0 g of fiber, 1.1 g of minerals and small quantities of essential vitamins like ascorbic acid, carotene, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin.
Production Centers in Indian Subcontinent
West Bengal and Karnataka are two major Indian states that grow kantola commercially. Kantola is largely cultivated in Malda and Nadia districts of West Bengal.
Growing Requirements
As in case of most cucurbits, spine gourd is a shallow rooted crop and hence shallow cultivation should be practiced.
Climate Spine gourd is a warm season crop and can be successfully cultivated in the plains and hills of sub-tropical and tropical regions. Plenty of sunshine and low humidity are ideal conditions for its growth.
Soil A well-drained sandy loam soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5 is the most ideal soil condition for kantola production.
Propagation Propagation of spine gourd is via seeds as in case of any other cucurbits.
Sowing Time Kantola can be grown both as a summer crop and a rainy season crop. Sowing time for kantola crop in tropical plains is January –February for summer crop and July-August for rainy season crop. Sowing time in tropical hills is April.
Seed Rate Approximately, 1-2 Kg seeds are required for sowing one acre of area. Seeds may be extracted from good quality ripe fruits and dried and stored for further uses.
Field Preparation Field is well prepared by 2 – 3 ploughing followed by tilling and levelling of the soil. Well-rotten organic manure or FYM (farm yard manure)@10-15 tonnes/acre is incorporated with the top soil during the last ploughing to enhance soil fertility. Ridges or raised beds are prepared in the field with furrows in between. Furrows are meant for flood irrigation and ridges are meant for sowing seeds on them.
Recommended spacing to be followed (if staking is not practiced) is, 1-2 meter between two ridges and 60-90 cm between two plants. If staking is practiced, this spacing may be reduced according to your cultivation requirements.
Sowing Depth
Seeds are sown by placing two or three seeds deep into the pits prepared on raised beds at 1-2 cm depth. If more seeds/pit is used, thinning should be done after the sprouting of seedlings.
First irrigation is done soon after sowing by watering the beds lightly to facilitate seed germination. Subsequent irrigations may be done depending upon the soil moisture level and prevailing weather conditions.
Disease Management
Fungal diseases such as anthracnose, downy mildew, and powdery mildew, bacterial disease- angular leaf spot, and viral disease-mosaic are major diseases found in spine gourd. Fungal disease may be controlled by the application of any of the recommended fungicides. Removal and destruction of mosaic affected plants may prevent further spread this viral disease. Other disease control measures that can be adopted are crop rotation, effective wed control in the field, seed treatment with recommended chemical before sowing and so on. In organic production practices, seeds treated with a mixture of cow urine and cow dung (a biodynamic preparation) and sun dried before using them for sowing, eliminate the incidences of a majority of seed-borne diseases.
Insect-Pest Management
Fruit flies are a major problem. Use of any of the recommended organic pesticides may eliminate this problem. Also you may use any of the mechanical control methods such as baits, insect traps etc to catch and kill the adult flies. Nematodes may also be a problem. Application of neem cake in the soil at the time of field preparation may eliminate this problem. Growing marigold, a nematode-repellant plant, as an intercrop may also be tried as a nematode control measure.
Weed Control
Weeding should be done regularly. Manual weeding and hand-hoeing is recommended.
Kantola is harvested when their fruits are still young and tender. Frequent harvesting at every alternate day or at 2-3 days intervals is recommended to avoid losses due to over-sized and over-mature fruits. Fruits are allowed to ripen only if you want to extract seeds from ripened fruits for propagation purposes. If that is the case, harvest the fruits only after the ripe fruit has changed colour from green to yellow to orange and the fruit pulp has entirely turned red in colour with mature seeds.
An average yield of 650 g/plant is obtained under good cultural practices. That is, approximately 5000 Kg kantola from one acre of area.
Availability in the Indian Market
Kantola or kakrol is available in the Indian market for a period of 7-8 months starting from mid-April.

Holy Crap! I could not possibly agree more with you than I do right now!I carry a full-sized concealed pistol day-in and day-out at my place of employment. If it was discovered that I carry at work I would be reprimanded (if not immediately fired) and later fired for unrealted reasons based on this institution's hatred of guns and those who carry them. Still, I carry.
Who was it that decided I must place my personal security in the hands of my employer nine-hours-per-day when my employer's standards fall far short of my own? Is it not enough that I do my job and do it well? Is it not enough that I am professional and enhance the environment in which I work with a strong work ethic and engaging manner? It's no crime federally or locally for me to carry at work. I could not be criminally trespassed for carrying at work because I have every reason to be there; they depend on me!
I am insulted that I am expected to leave an essential part of my life at home so as not to scare my fellow employees. It is those employees who may one day remain alive because someone like me was there to put up a real defense when the SHTF. Many people on this very site have expressed their feelings that it is dishonest for me to carry at work when my employer doesn't wish me to be armed. I never signed a form that flatly stated "I will not carry a gun at work." I never told my employer I wouldn't carry. I just DO carry. I've never drawn, fired or even told anyone at work that I carry a firearm. Accidental physical contact may one day reveal that something's hiding out under the shirt but no one will ever know for sure aside from an actual violent encounter in the workplace at which point I will not hesitate to stop an attacker.
It makes me angry to hear folks here at the forums advising other law-abiding, card-carrying, like-minded, decent people to honor the wishes of their employer at all personal cost. That is not a community that supports the freedoms of its members. We must be wise in our choices but we must also learn to take responsibility for the life God has given us and not be cowed into total submission to the pseudo-authority of those who use our strength, time and services for financial gain. I like my boss but I'm glad he doesn't have the final say in my personal safety.
Very well said Sir! Very Well Said!

setup cannot find Proofing.en-us\Proof.en\Proof.cab
I've run into this problem. Trying to install Office Professional Plus 2013 on my upgraded Win 8 Pro. I uninstalled Office 2010 before trying to install Office Professional Plus 2013. However, the setup bombs out when it gives the following:
Setup cannot find Proofing.en-us\Proof.en\Proof.cab. Browse to a valid installation source and then click OK.
I did a search for this file and initially did not find it. Then from the ISO image copied it manually to where I had expanded my office setup files. Still shows up as "Invalid Location".
Note, I downloaded the software from my technet subscription so I should not be having a beta copy. Both the proof.cab and proof.msi files are there along with some other files. I'm totally stuck. Any help will be appreciated.

I had this happen too when I tried to install the "Office Professional Plus 2013 (x64) - DVD (English)" version. I then tried the "Office Professional Plus 2013 (x86 and x64) - DVD (English)" version instead and it worked fine.

Is there more fiction than science in the box-office blockbuster Gravity?
The 3D sci-fi thriller starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney topped last weekend's box-office, but some factions of the scientific community itself appear to be unimpressed.
Entertainment Weekly reports that noted astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson spent a good portion of Sunday night on Twitter to patiently deconstruct the film.
A major draw at last month's Toronto International Film Festival, Gravity casts Bullock as a doctor/scientist shipped off on a space-shuttle mission with a veteran astronaut, played by Clooney. While out on a space walk, the pair are detached from their ship and left stranded in space.
Best known for his PBS science specials and his current role as director of the American Museum of Natural History, Tyson systematically pointed out how Gravity's makers got a great many things wrong in the storytelling process.
Starting with the title, apparently. Tyson's first tweet came at 6:35 p.m. ET and took immediate issue with the movie's name: "The film #Gravity should be renamed "Zero Gravity,'" he said.
Five minutes later, Tyson tweeted: "The film #Gravity should be renamed 'Angular Momentum,'" which presumably meant something to hardcore science buffs.
Soon after, he began picking the movie apart with his tweets, including, "Mysteries of #Gravity: Why Bullock, a medical Doctor, is servicing the Hubble Space Telescope."
And for the next few hours, Tyson steadily disassembled the story with his logical comments. Like this one: "Mysteries of #Gravity: Why Bullock's hair, in otherwise convincing zero-G scenes, did not float freely on her head."
And this: "Mysteries of #Gravity: Nearly all satellites orbit Earth west to east yet all satellite debris portrayed east to west."
Or this: "Mysteries of #Gravity: When Clooney releases Bullock's tether, he drifts away. In zero-G a single tug brings them together."
And this rather pointed tweet: "Mysteries of #Gravity: Why anyone is impressed with a zero-G film 45 years after being impressed with '2001: A Space Odyssey."
But for all his educated commentary, Tyson wrapped his Twitter science lesson on a kindly note: "My Tweets hardly ever convey opinion. Mostly perspectives on the world. But if you must know, I enjoyed #Gravity very much."
Well, he could have fooled us.Report Typo/Error

SUNY Reaches Pact With U.S. to Improve Its Handling of Reported Sex Assaults
The State University of New York system has reached a voluntary agreement with the U.S. Department of Education to improve how it and each of its 29 state-operated campuses handle reports of sexual assault and harassment, the U.S. Department of Education announced on Thursday.
The department's Office for Civil Rights began a review in December 2010 of SUNY's compliance under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the federal gender-equity law that prohibits sex discrimination at institutions receiving federal funds.
The department said in a news release that the review had not been based on a complaint filed by an individual. The resolution agreement states that SUNY's pact with the department was entered into voluntarily, and did "not constitute an admission by SUNY that it is not in compliance with Title IX and/or its implementing regulation."
The department said that, as part of its review, the civil-rights office had examined 159 cases of alleged sex harassment on four SUNY campuses. It said that the office had found that the "vast majority" of those cases involved reports serious enough to have created a hostile environment for the affected students. In some instances, the department said, the office found "deficiencies," including that some complaints had not been handled adequately, and that some complainants had not been informed of the outcomes of their cases.
The agreement requires SUNY to ensure that its administrative office and its campuses have designated Title IX coordinators, to see that such officials conduct annual reviews of sex-discrimination complaints, to revise grievance procedures, and to make other improvements. Each campus will also be required to conduct annual "climate checks" that assess the effectiveness of those measures, the results of which will be reported to the civil-rights office in 2014, 2015, and 2016.
A SUNY spokesman said that the "successful culmination of this review affirms and recognizes that SUNY campuses across New York are now national models for Title IX compliance and training," according to the Associated Press.Return to Top
