All menstruating women and girls will have some degree of vaginal discharge during their cycle. It's totally normal and is made up of vaginal secretions and normal healthy vaginal bacteria. This discharge is the body's way of cleaning the vagina and keeping it lubricated.

Typically, this vaginal discharge will be clear to whitish in color. The discharge may have a slightly yellowish hue and can vary from thin and watery to thick and sticky.

You only need to be concerned about yellow vaginal discharge when it's accompanied by a strong odor, or when you're notice vaginal burning or itching. These can be signs of a vaginal infection.

What Affects Vaginal Discharge?

In women with a regular 28- day cycle, ovulation happens right around day 14. During these few days, a women's vaginal discharge will change, becoming stretchy, stringy, and very sticky. It is usually clear to opaque in color. This type of discharge is actually an increase in cervical mucous and is called Spinnbarkeit.

If you're trying to get pregnant, this is the time of the month that you're most likely to be able to conceive.

The amount of vaginal discharge can also increase at times of emotional stress. As long as there is no change in the color or odor of the discharge or any vaginal symptoms, an increase in the amount of discharge in these situations is usually quite normal.

When You Should be Concerned about Vaginal Discharge

On the other hand, if you experience a vaginal discharge that suddenly and randomly increases, this may be a sign of a problem. Another change that may indicate a problem is a discharge that is bright yellow or greenish in color. A thick clumped or chunky discharge or a very watery discharge can also indicate a that something is amiss in your vagina.

And as mentioned previously, vaginal discharge with any foul odor or itching is an indication of a problem.

Common causes of abnormal vaginal discharges include:

Bacterial vaginosis (BV)

Vaginal yeast infections

Trichomonas

Chlamydia

Gonorrhea

Forgetting to remove a tampon

Other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or infections (STIs)

What Do Different Kinds of Vaginal Discharge Indicate?

If your discharge is whitish to pale yellow and thick and clumped and you have vaginal itching or burning you likely have a vaginal yeast infection.

But if you have a discharge that is heavier than usual, that is watery and grayish in color with a foul fishy odor, you likely have bacterial vaginosis.

If you are having a vaginal discharge that suddenly increases in amount, that is green or yellowish that has a bad odor, or is causing vaginal symptoms you should see your doctor to determine the cause and to get treatment.

Treatment for Vaginal Discharge

The treatment for your vaginal discharge will depend on the underlying cause. For a yeast infection, you can get over-the-counter clotrimazole (Monistat), but you may want to consult your healthcare provider before self-treating.

For bacterial vaginosis, a prescription is needed; usually, your healthcare provider will prescribe vaginal metronidazole gel.

Northern Alliance breaks through in Afghanistan
Tonight Northern Alliance commanders say they've broken through Taliban front-line positions, just north of the Afghan capital, Kabul. We're joined now by ABC correspondent Geoff Thompson who's at the front-line with the Northern Alliance about 30km from the capital.
Compere: Maxine McKew
Reporter: Geoff Thompson
GEOFF THOMPSON: Well I can tell you there's a lot of artillery shelling going on and some small arms fire around where I am, but where I am is a hut that was full of Mujaheddin, Northern alliance soldiers.
Just a few minutes ago they got the order and charged forward.
In the last five minutes they've run out and been all together running down the road to the next position.
And That's pretty well characterised the way things have gone today, since this push toward Kabul has gone.
The first line as fallen and they're now saying that they hope to be in the capital tonight MAXINE McKEW: This has been a very rapid escalation hasn't it?
GEOFF THOMPSON: Well it has.
The domino effect we saw across the north is clearly given them momentum, boosted their confidence.
We're watching and hearing as we speak B-52 Bombers flying above giving air support to the Northern Alliance forces.
So, they're not doing it on their own and the commander here say that the Taliban from the first lines have retreated to Kabul and they got two more lines to get through.
There is combat going on and some small arms fire in the distance but the Northern alliance is confident that the push forward will continue MAXINE McKEW: What would be the nature of the Taliban resistance once the Northern alliance is inside Kabul?
GEOFF THOMPSON: Well, I think there's a feeling that there will be, at some point, a retreat to either Jalalabar Kandahar or both but there's also, there's been some contact between Northern alliance people and Taliban commanders in Kabul, some that may have been with the Northern alliance in the past.
And there's a suggestion some of these are ready to defect.
But there's also a hard core of Arabs and Pakistanis and others, volunteers who have come along, into Afghanistan to fight against the Northern alliance and against the United States.
They are expected to hang on a bit longer than that.
There is some suggestion some intelligence is suggesting that some may resort to suicide attacks once forces enter the capital.
MAXINE McKEW: Throwing forward a bit, what of the political problem if you like of the Northern alliance taking hold of Kabul.
Pakistan won't like this because as yet there's no government of national unity in place?
GEOFF THOMPSON: That's right, the United States is listening to Pakistan, Pakistan is listening to the United States.
They do not want an Northern Alliance government a government that they cannot control, that may have its own ideas of independence, that is clearly not palatable to President Musharraf or to Pakistan, but the thing is no one is really offering an alternative.
There was some notion even that as the Northern Alliance troops got to the gates of Kabul to send forward the police force, the sort of Afghan Northern Alliance police force, which is really a laughable notion to the Northern Alliance because they are not armed particularly.
This sort of idea of a neutral force that might be able to solve the problem, but as to what the solution is in Kabul, no-one has that answer for the moment.
MAXINE McKEW: Thanks very much Geoff.

The seven-year-old Norwegian singer Angelina Jordan has seen her voice go viral after she performed Billie Holiday's Gloomy Sunday on Norway's Got Talent.
In this video of her audition, Angelina imitates the voice of the famous singer, bringing one of the judges to tears. Barefoot and with some of her adult teeth still waiting to come through, she performs with a quiet confidence and receives a standing ovation from the studio audience.
Bjarte Hjelmeland, one of the judges on the show, tells Angelina: "Sometimes when you are an adult, and you see a child that sings, we can't really understand how it's possible, because you sing in a way that we believe you have to be old, or even very old, to be able to do." The judges' verdict? A big 'YES!', delivered in chorus.Reuse content

Los Angeles doesn't have a great reputation for being green. Sadly we are better known as a car-centric city frequently afflicted with smoggy skies. In fact, Los Angeles has been ranked the worst air pollution in the nation. Recently our fair city took one step closer to changing that! Last April the Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to approve a motion asking the LA Department of Water and Power (LADWP) to develop a plan for how the city can move toward 100% renewable sources of electricity. LADWP - the largest municipal utility in the country - currently gets about 20-25% of its energy from renewables (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and waste). The biggest challenge to going 100% green will be to convert from a grid which relies on coal and natural gas, which can adjust supply to meet demand, to one which can handle the fluxuations of solar and wind. The largest reductions in greenhouse gas emissions - nearly 9 million metric tons - will be through DWP's existing plan to eliminate coal-fired power plants from their energy mix by 2025. (Side note: Shockingly, Pasadena's energy mix coming from Pasadena Water and Power, has an extraordinarily high percentage of power coming from coal at 34% compared to CA average of 6% with no plans as of yet to move toward renewables! Hopefully they'll follow in LA's footsteps!)
Another 7 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions result from the remaining energy sources in LADWP's mix, largely natural gas. As we move away from coal we need to be careful to not be lured to just switch to cheap natural gas. Last year the Aliso Canyon gas leak disaster - the worst in US history - proved this fossil fuel is a very dangerous source of energy for our communities. 11,000 residents were evacuated and hundreds reported methane-related illnesses from the leak. Aliso released 100,000 tons of methane, which has a warming effect 80 times higher than CO2 over the short-term. Currently there are also natural gas storage facilities in Playa del Rey and Playa Vista. Obviously natural gas is a serious threat to our public health and the environment. If we are going to get to a fully clean power supply a commitment similar to the departure from coal needs to happen with natural gas… and the faster the better.
With a 100-year old grid supplying 4 million Angelinos with power, LADWP is poised to make significant infrastructure investments. This is the perfect opportunity for the city to upgrade the system to accommodate the potential for a fossil-free future. Councilman - and co-author of the City Council motion - Paul Krekorian, emphasized the urgency for Los Angeles to move to clean energy:
"This is an enormous step forward that will help restore our environment and lead us to a sustainable, fossil-free future. For the third year running, Los Angeles was ranked as having the worst air pollution in the country, which is unacceptable and unhealthy for our families and neighborhoods. To reverse this trend we need big thinking and bold, smart action."
While Mayor Eric Garcetti has already set a goal of reaching 50% renewable energy by 2030, this recent legislation is only a starting point to research how to get to 100% but has no set timeline. This is a crucial first step, however, we are really looking forward to hearing the results of DWP's research. A realistic but ambitious time-bound roadmap to ending our reliance on fossil fuels is crucial to improving our chances of preventing climate change's most damaging effects.
San Francisco and San Diego are also among eighteen other cities who have committed to 100% clean energy goals recently. Four cities are already proving it is possible with fully renewably powered systems! Los Angeles, as the 2nd most populous city in the country and most polluted, can serve as a particularly powerful role model for cities and jurisdictions across the country. These plans have the potential to both help stop devastating climate change impacts but also to boost economies in the process. Some opponents of a renewable transition worry that it will hurt the economy but the growth of renewable jobs in recent years and a growing local economy has proven that is a false threat. Last year's solar census reported that 10% of solar jobs - over 21,000 well paid jobs - are in Los Angeles! Going green saves money in the long-term. A report from the New Climate Economy found cities could save $17 trillion by 2050 by pursuing low-carbon solutions such as public transport, building efficiency, waste management and 'aggressive' solar implementation.
Now is the time to kick our transition to clean energy into high gear at local and state levels! We look forward to being part of the solution!
When I came to the solar industry I had just completed my Master in Public Health. Some of you may be thinking, "Thats an odd career move! What does solar have to do with public health?" I still get this exact response when I tell people my background. But to me, solar power is one of the most exciting and valuable solutions to a myriad of public health challenges! Think about it. Traditional sources of energy like coal and fossil fuels are the primary causes of climate change. They emit more greenhouse gasses and use much more water than solar. The global public health impacts of climate change are enormous and well documented…extreme weather events, flooding, draught, and heat waves all take a toll on our ability to live full and healthy lives. On top of that, the more immediate and local impacts of air pollution from traditional energy plants include asthma, COPD, and other respiratory illnesses.
While this simple logic proves to me that solar power is a vast improvement over burning fossil fuels, quantifying the environmental and health impacts of solar energy is not a straightforward task. However, determining the value of these external benefits is imperative to understanding the true costs and benefits of solar compared to other sources of energy. Thankfully the Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory (LBNL) recently published a technical report on this very topic! "The Environmental and Public Health Benefits of Achieving High Penetrations of Solar Energy in the United States." was commissioned by the Department of Energy as part of the On the Path to Sunshot series of studies to assess the progress of the SunShot Initiative at its midway point.
The SunShot Initiative was launched in 2011 as a result of the Obama administration's goal to make solar electricity cost-competitive with conventional sources of electricity by 2020. In the first five years, the initiative has invested in education, policy analysis, and research and development of solar technologies as well as programs fostering more highly skilled U.S. based jobs. Since SunShot's launch, solar installations have grown more than tenfold with more than one million solar installations producing power across the U.S. and the cost of solar energy has dropped drastically. As a result, the industry is approximately 70% of the way toward meeting the SunShot 2020 goal to achieve $0.06 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) installed cost for solar energy systems.
The researchers sought to unveil the cumulative environmental and public health benefits of the solar power that has already been installed, and what future benefits would result if SunShot's targets - 14% of US electricity by 2030 and 27% by 2050 - are met. They found that health and environmental benefits could add approximately 3.5 cents per kilowatt-hour to the "true" value of solar energy! Lets break down that number…
Compared with fossil fuel generators, photovoltaic (PV) and concentrating solar produce far lower lifecycle levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other harmful pollutants including fine particulates (PM2.5), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen oxides (NOx).
Department of Energy
Greenhouse Gases: Achieving the 14% by 2030 and 27% by 2050 targets could reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the power sector by 10% between 2015 and 2050. This may not sound like a lot, but in dollars and cents this means 238-$252 billion in savings, or 2.0-2.2 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) of solar installed. These savings add to the 17 million metric tons of CO2, or $700 million, saved annually by solar already installed by 2014.
Other Air Pollutants: Meeting the same targets through solar expansion would also reduce other power sector cumulative emissions of PM2.5 by 8%, SO2 by 9%, and NOx by 11% between 2015 and 2050. The monetary value of which they estimated at $167 billion in savings from reducing health and environmental costs, or 1.4 cents per kilowatt hour of solar. Not to mention avoiding 25,000-59,000 entirely preventable premature deaths! This builds on 2014 solar installations providing annual reductions in air pollutants worth $890 million.
Water: Often we forget that traditional sources of electricity are also big water hogs. I even wrote a blog about the ways solar helps to conserve water. The researchers found reaching SunShot's goals could result in cumulative water savings of 46 trillion gallons of avoided withdrawl (4% of total power-sector withdrawls) and 5 trillion gallons of avoided water consumption (9% of total power-sector consumption) between 2015-2050. This is definitely a non-trivial benefit given much of the big solar states are also arid states where water conservation is imperative.
Environmental and health benefits from achieving SunShot vision. - DOE image
Put it all together and you get to the estimated 3.5¢/kWh-solar, equivalent to more than $400 billion in benefits due to SunShot-level solar deployment! Existing solar in 2014 provided $1.5 billion in annual benefits due to health and environment effects. Given the cost of going solar for residential properties in our neck of the woods is currently between 8 and 11 ¢/kWh, adding 3.5 ¢/kWh of value is a pretty big deal. The LBNL researchers noted that this is approximately equal to the additional LCOE reduction needed to make unsubsidized utility-scale solar competitive with conventional power generation today.
Improving public health and the environment is a lofty goal near and dear to my heart and truly an important aspect of solar's many benefits. Hopefully quantifying the magnitude of solar's "external" impacts will help inform policy decisions by making the "true" costs and values of solar and its economic competitiveness with other energy options more explicit.
Canada's new Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, ventured south of the border last week to visit the White House, marking the first official Canadian Prime Minister visit in 19 years! What are Trudeau and Obama palling around about? You guessed it… collaboration on a North American transition to renewable energy! The leaders announced a joint strategy to move coordinated climate action even beyond their respective commitments at COP21 in Paris last December.
Trudeau has been much more willing to implement climate change policies than his predecessor, Stephen Harper, who opposed cutting greenhouse gases to the point that he pulled Canada out of the Kyoto Protocol. In the joint announcement they emphasized the special relationship between the two countries and the importance of collaboration on energy development, environmental protection, as well as Arctic leadership.
In the joint press conference they remarked that Paris was a turning point in the global effort to take action on climate and anchor economic growth in a clean energy transformation. One important outcome in Paris was the launch of Mission Innovation. Mission Innovation is a global initiative including 20 countries commiting to double their governments' clean energy research and development investments over the next five years. Indeed Obama's 2017 budget is seeking $7.7 billion in discretionary funding to boost clean energy research. (Hopefully those R&D dreams won't be dashed by Congress.) Last month, the U.S., Canada, and Mexico also signed a memorandum of understanding seeking to expand our countries' cooperation to include climate change and energy collaboration activities. Building on these and other multilateral agreements, last Thursday the leaders reaffirmed their commitment to working together to:
"strengthen North American energy security, phase out fossil fuel subsidies, accelerate clean energy development to address climate change and to foster sustainable energy development and economic growth."
Specifics regarding the clean energy highlights of the joint pledge include:
Few further details were included but the leaders' focus on the need to accelerate clean energy innovation and a transition to renewables is a giant step in the right direction!
Check out the full press conference here:
On August 3, 2015, President Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the Clean Power Plan (CPP) – an exciting, historic and truly critical step in tackling climate change. Advocates say its policies will create jobs, make our grid more reliable, and our economies more resilient while helping protect all of us against climate change's worst impacts. The CPP is the heart of Obama's effort to uphold commitments agreed upon at the Paris COP21 climate conference last December.
Power plants are the largest polluters in the US. They account for one third of all greenhouse gas emissions! We wrote about the controversial carbon standards for NEW power plants put forth by the EPA in December 2014. Obama's Clean Power Plan takes it a giant step further by forcing all EXISTING coal-fired power plants to cut carbon emissions by 32% from 2005 levels by 2030.
Despite the seemingly fair and flexible terms of the Clean Power Plan, vested interests (including coal and mining groups and a coalition of Republican states) fiercely opposed, stating the regulations are an overreach of the EPA's power. On February 9th the U.S. Supreme Court voted 5-4 to stay implementation of the CPP until the litigation challenging the Clean Power Plan is addressed. Justice Scalia's passing doesn't change anything since a 4-4 vote also stays the implementation until the Federal District Appeals Court makes a decision likely in late 2016.
Experts are confident that the CPP's contents are on solid legal ground and courts will ultimately uphold it. However, a final decision is unlikely before June 2017 or even into 2018 (depending on when the Supreme Court makes their final ruling after going through the DC Court). These delays only make global progress more and more difficult as all eyes are on the US to set an example by honoring our Paris climate commitments.
While 27 states filed the petition to delay the CPP implementation, eighteen state governors - both Democratic and Republican - have announced an accord to move forward on clean energy solutions regardless. The governors declared that "we recognize that now is the time to embrace a bold vision of the nation's energy future," and that their states "are once again prepared to lead."
"As the world gets hotter and closer to irreversible climate change, these justices appear tone-deaf as they fiddle with procedural niceties. This arbitrary roadblock does incalculable damage and undermines America's climate leadership. But make no mistake, this won't stop California continuing to do its part under the Clean Power Plan." – California Gov. Jerry Brown
Its leaders like these governors, and many large private businesses who have come out in favor of upholding the Clean Power plan, who seem to understand the gravity of climate change and the many benefits that moving to a clean energy future brings. We hope the alliance of leaders in politics and the private sector continues to grow and soon will outnumber those that back the interests of dirty energy!
There can be no doubt, 2015 was an amazing year for solar. As we reach the end of the year, here's our look back on the top five reasons solar soared in 2015!
While not the most important reason for solar overall, we would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge that thanks to our wonderful clients, 2015 was our best year by far! From our largest project ever for our favorite water company, to adding another school to our portfolio, to the many residential projects that we built all across Southern California, 2015 was a great year.
We took great pride in being recognized, for the third year in a row, as being one of the top Solar Contractors in the country by the wonderful folks at Solar Power World, and even more pride in the scores of referrals that we received from our ecstatic clients.
We can't wait to meet and exceed our success this past year in the New Year ahead!
Political leadership on dealing with Climate Change was finally in evidence this year, and the resultant policies are, inevitably, pro-solar. Exhibit A was California Governor Jerry Brown pledging to have the state generate 50% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, a mere fifteen years away! Said the Governor:
I envision a wide range of initiatives: more distributed power, expanded rooftop solar, micro-grids, an energy imbalance market, battery storage, the full integration of information technology and electrical distribution and millions of electric and low-carbon vehicles.
We are on board with that!
But political leadership extended far beyond the borders of our great state in 2015! More than 190 countries came together in Paris to agree to the most far-reaching accord ever to address Climate Change, and lots more solar was high on their list of ways to achieve a more sustainable planet.
To be sure, none of these actions were without their political opponents, but it is impossible to deny that 2015 marked a major turning point in the public's perception of the need to act, and those views were increasingly adopted by the world's politicians.
Ok, we have to give the man his due — Elon Musk's outlandish PowerWall announcement changed the conversation around smart energy storage (and our blog post debunking his most outrageous claims became our most viewed post of the year!). Indeed, storage went from being a topic hardly ever mentioned by a potential client, to something that nearly everyone did after Elon did his thing.
Unfortunately, the hype still leads the market, and mature products are still not really available. But that is changing rapidly, and from our perspective that can't happen soon enough.
There had been great angst in the solar community about the future of net metering — the means by which solar owners get compensated for excess energy that they put out onto the grid — in California (and elsewhere). Decisions about net metering in other states that bent over backwards to appease utility demands only ratcheted up the anxiety in California as the state's Public Utilities Commission deliberated over competing proposals for Net Metering 2.0 - including utility schemes that could have gutted the market for solar.
Fortunately our fears were not realized and the preliminary decision — due to be made final in January — was quite solar friendly. Once we have a final decision we will report on it in depth, but for now this looks like one of the biggest pro-solar developments of 2015.
The number one, most amazing, and most amazingly unexpected development to boost solar in 2015 is unquestionably the major extension of the 30% federal solar investment tax credit (ITC).
Given that the ITC was previously scheduled to expire at the end of 2016, solar installers, potential clients, utilities, and building departments alike were all bracing for what could have been a hellish second half of next year as all involved scrambled to get systems commissioned before the deadline.
Instead, the full 30% will continue through 2019, 26% in 2020, 22% in 2021, and 10% thereafter. Moreover, the "placed in service" language — which required a project to be commissioned before the credit could be claimed, thereby leaving installers and clients at the not-so-tender mercies of the local utility — was replaced by the far more manageable, "commenced construction" requirement.
The net benefit of this will be a more orderly market, driven by rational purchasing decisions rather than a panicked stampede to meet an arbitrary deadline at the end of next year. And beyond that, keeping the ITC in place for many years to come will help to grow solar in ways that would not have been possible otherwise. The industry, the economy, and the environment were all winners here.
So that's our wrap on 2015 — truly a great year for solar! But we are betting that 2016 — with your help, of course — will be even better! Watch this space!
Happy New Year!

Concert: 7-9 February @ Cleopatra Groningen: Preipop festival 2007
10 Feb 2007, 14:24 by meilofPreipop 2007
This week from Wednesday to Friday was the first edition of Preipop, a new music festival organized by Cleopatra, a local student association from Groningen (of which I happen to be a member). The event was even covered in national newspaper NRC Next, which was pretty cool. The (free) festival consisted of two days of live music, and one DJ-day. I went to the live music days.
The atmosphere of the festival was pretty good. Cleopatra is quite a small venue, consisting of two floors, each with their own stage: the lower floor had mainly rock music, while the higher floor had more relaxed jazz and singer-songwriter music. The size of the venue meant that halfway through the evening, it was already pretty stuffed, especially at the higher floor. The festival attracked mainly Cleopatra members, but there also were a fair amount of non-members, which was pretty cool.

Crammed Global Soundscape 1980-89 - Part Two: Electrowave
3 Oct 2005, 21:26 by FidgitalOut walking at lunch, I picked up Crammed Global Soundscape 1980-89 - Part Two: Electrowave, apparently part of a 2003 compilation series from Brussels-based label Crammed. Though I've certainly heard of some of the old Crammed catalogue, I'm more familiar with their current bands like Zuco 103, 4hero, Snooze, Zap Mama and Bebel Gilberto (to name a handful).
The album is not all gems, but there are a few. The first track, Saure Gurke by Aksak Maboul, dates from 1977 and is actually by Crammed founder Marc Hollander. It's a nice little ambient electro piece.
Other standout pieces include innovative synthpop from Colin Newman and Bel Canto (though it's not my personal fave, Shoulder to the Wheel), the wild world fusion electro of Zazou/Bikaye and Tuxedomoon and my personal favourite track on the whole album, I Don't Like Music by Telex.
The late '70's and early '80's were a fascinating time for music which I lived through but feel like I missed. …

I was dealing Let It Ride to a woman who had never gambled before and had never been to Las Vegas before. Her husband brought her down for the first time and she was having a blast. She was playing $10 on all 3 hands plus she had a $5 bet on the 3 Card Bonus and she had the $1 bonus up as well. I dealt the hand and I asked her to see it, so I could help her play. She flipped over a 10, Queen, and Ace of hearts. "Oh great!" I said, "Tuck your cards, and leave it, you won! Great job! You got paid for a flush on your 3 Card Bonus, that's $15." She was so excited, she tucked her cards. I flipped over a Jack of hearts. Then I flipped the second card and it was a King of hearts, she got a Royal Flush. "Congratulations! You got a Royal Flush! Let's see… that's $50,000!" I told her. Her face grew into a huge smile and then, before anyone could stop her, she grabbed her cards, then grabbed my cards and ran to the craps tables to show her husband. I screamed at her to stop, my floorman screamed at her to stop and the players were yelling at her too. She was so excited she didn't hear. When she got to her husband and showed him the cards he started screaming at her, "You don't take the cards off the table! Now you're disqualified! Why did you do that?" Unfortunately he was right; even though everyone saw her win; because she took the cards off the table she was automatically disqualified and lost the $50,000 win. Why would the casino do that? Because they are a corporation and they will look for any reason not to pay you.

Hopper has been coaxed back on to a motorcycle by director Quentin Tarantino for his movie Hell Ride.
Scroll down for more...
The 71-year-old actor, nicknamed Dennis the Menace during his days as a hellraiser, appears alongside ex-footballer Vinnie Jones as two members of a Devil-worshipping biker cult called the 666ers.
Hell Ride stars biker-movie veteran Larry Bishop as Pistolero, who goes after Hopper and Jones because he blames them for the death of his girlfriend.
Hopper can be seen in these pictures astride a classic Indian Four motorcycle, a pre-Second World War machine highly prized by serious motorbike enthusiasts.
The actor became famous for his role as Billy in Easy Rider, which is credited with revolutionising Hollywood in the Sixties.

Hopper directed the movie, which also starred Peter Fonda as his biker buddy Wyatt and Jack Nicholson as alcoholic lawyer George Hanson.
The movie follows the men on a road trip across the US and features LSD trips, "free love" and a violent encounter with rednecks.
Easy Rider matched Hopper's wild lifestyle. He has been divorced four times, arrested on drugs charges and admits he was an alcoholic.
The bike ridden by Dennis Hopper in Hell Ride is a vintage Indian Chief with a sidecar.

Atlantic Pediatric Device Consortium planting seeds of support
The Atlantic Pediatric Device Consortium (APDC), headquartered at the Georgia Institute of Technology, was started five years ago to pursue a specific if ambitious mission that came with a built-in set of significant challenges.
APDC was founded, "to address the issues related to designing and commercializing devices to improve children's health," says Barbara Boyan, dean of the School of Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), who was a professor at Georgia Tech in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering when she co-founded the APDC in 2011.
And unlike much of the population these technologies are designed to serve, the related issues are definitely not small.
"There are a number of problems involved in successfully taking a product to market that is specifically for children," explains Boyan, who remains an APDC director. "Often market size is limited, so the clinical studies needed to prove safety and effectiveness cannot be adequately powered and for the eventual market size are simply too expensive."
Also, unlike adults, who comprise the vast majority of the medical device market, children are still growing.
"And as they grow their physiology is changing," Boyan says. "Thus, manufacturers may need to make multiple sizes and may even need to modify the kinds of materials that they are using. It is important to remember that children are not just little adults. It isn't enough to simply scale down a device. I think you can see why it is a challenge for small companies and indeed large companies to tackle these challenges."
Those challenges are why the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) funds a network of centers like the APDC. A major goal of the FDA-sponsored Pediatric Device Consortia (APDC was one of the earliest funded, and there are currently seven nationwide) is to provide expertise and services to inventors, entrepreneurs and companies that are developing pediatric healthcare technologies – companies like Safe Heart USA, based in Atlanta and helmed by Georgia Tech graduate Yale Zhang.
"APDC has really helped put our company on the map and build a buzz," says Zhang, CEO of Atlanta-based Safe Heart USA, an award-winner in the most recent APDC Pediatric Device Innovation Competition. "The best thing about this program is, it really is focused on commercialization. It's about having a social impact and simultaneously being able to take something to market. So, it's not just about cool ideas."
Even so, it's nice to have a cool idea, and Zhang's company has one. APDC's review committee (an experienced panel of pediatricians, engineers, business professionals and venture capitalists) selected Zhang and his company for seed grant funding for a new smart-phone based oximeter to help monitor the early stages childhood pneumonia.
It's the logical next step for a device Safe Heart USA already has produced, the iOximeter (and the iOX mobile phone app), which is geared for adults. The company is shifting gears slightly with development of this new, pediatric-focused product, inspired by a global health challenge from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to improve the diagnosis of childhood pneumonia in developing countries (pneumonia remains the leading cause of death in children under five, worldwide, but particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia).
"We want to provide an affordable mobile device that is easy to use," says Zhang, a 2006 graduate of the Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech, whose challenge is to make one that fits a child's needs. "So our goal is really to make a non-disposable, durable, washable, sterilize-able oximeter probe that can be used on kids."
Zhang says the probe will be inexpensive to produce and the iOximeter also saves money in how little energy it uses. No batteries or expensive, power-hungry hardware required. The device uses the cell phone processor for its juice. "That's the most innovative part about this product," he adds.
Innovation (as well as commercialization potential) is at the heart of what APDC is looking for. It's right there in the name of the annual Pediatric Device Innovation Competition. APDC hosted the fourth such round of competition in February. This seed grant competition is a chance for academic researchers, students, businesses, clinicians and entrepreneurs to develop and commercialize a pediatric medical device.
"These early stage development grants can often launch an idea from a university laboratory to the next level," says APDC Executive Director David Ku, Petit Institute faculty member and professor of engineering entrepreneurship in the Scheller College of Business. "APDC advisors monitor progress and are available to assist innovators through whatever stage of development they are currently in."
Ku has been involved in bringing a number of medical devices to the market. He and the other APDC principal investigators at Emory, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and the Virginia Commonwealth University have been the recipients of seed grant funds like this in the past.
More than 25 proposals were initially submitted for this year's competition, according to Martha Willis, APDC's program manager. Of those, 15 were invited to Atlanta to make oral presentations of their projects, competing for seed grant awards in the $5,000 to $50,000 range. The APDC Review Committee based its assessment on a number of factors: clinical significance; approach to product development; likelihood of marketing success; project team, environment and resources; and potential for additional funding. "The point of the APDC seed grant is to move a pediatric medical device project along the development pathway on its way towards commercialization," says Willis.
In addition to Zhang and Safe Heart USA (which was the only Atlanta-based awardee), the winning projects/products included:
• Nephrostomy Catheter: This device is designed to significantly reduce a young patient's exposure to imaging radiation potentially reduce bleeding during a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (removal of kidney stones). It will also enable a pediatric urologist to conduct the procedure, rather than sending the pediatric patient to an interventional radiologist. Principal investigator is Jason Wynberg, attending urologist at Detroit Medical Center.
• Transcatheter valve for treatment of pediatric pulmonary valve stenosis: This project will address one of the most prevalent congenital heart defects, pulmonary valve stenosis due to valve dysplasia. The goal of principal investigator Eric Sirois (whose company, Dura Biotech, is based in Storrs, CT) is to develop a replacement valve suitable for treating pulmonary valve dysplasia in children and adolescents.
• Automated Point-of-Care Recognition of Innocent Still's Murmur in Children: This mobile device-based digital stethoscope, accompanied with a highly accurate computer algorithm, would distinguish Still's murmur (benign and prevalent) from the more serious pathological heart murmurs. The device could significantly reduce the current rates of unnecessary (and costly) referrals to cardiologists, while reducing the financial and emotional costs of unnecessary testing. Principle investigators are Raj Shekhar and Robin W. Doroshow, based at the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation in Washington, D.C.
• Drug Error Prevention and Advisory System for Pediatric Anesthesia: This system is designed to utilize QR (Quick Response) code technology for syringe labeling, to identify medication before administering and advise the recommended dose. It is also intended to make compliance with Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) regulations efficient and easy. Principle investigator is Nadia Koltchine, the youngest awardee – she is a member of the science team at Joel Barlow High School in Redding, CT.

Electronic Arts has finally released the long-awaited de-authorization tool for Spore, fulfilling its promise three months after vowing to ease off on the games DRM restrictions. The new tool lets gamers bypass the newly increased five-machine install limit on Spore by managing their own available slots rather than relying on EA. It will also help ensure that authorizations arent unnecessarily lost to system upgrades or reinstalls.
This should alleviate concerns raised earlier this year after EA confirmed the game could not be activated on more than three different machines or PC configurations, ever. The bad news however is that while the tool is available for PC users, theres no version currently available for Mac gamers. You can find a step-by-step guide along with the tool itself, right here.

After discussing the distinction between units focused on work processes and those devoted to markets, the analysis provides insight as to when to organize businesses by function, geography, products, customers, or expert knowledge. The analysis highlights the difference between operating core units designed for efficiency and market-facing units designed for responsiveness. Span of control and span of accountability are introduced as key concepts to direct organizational attention and ensure the effective execution of strategy. While this module is designed to be used alone, it is part of the Strategy Execution series. Taken together, the series forms a complete course that teaches the latest techniques for using performance measurement and control systems to implement strategy. Modules 1 - 4 set out the foundations for strategy implementation. Modules 5 - 10 teach quantitative tools for performance measurement and control. Modules 11 - 15 illustrate the use of these techniques by managers to achieve profit goals and strategies.

We'd seen the Overseas Highway and the Keys in so many movies that it was a must to go there. From South Beach we took the A1 road, in the hope of seeing most of Miami. However, the traffic was so slow that we decided to take the Florida Turnpike instead. A good decision. We reached the Keys quickly and from then on there was only one road, US1. All along the road you can see small green signs, called mile markers, which tell you the distance from Key West. The Keys begin at MM 113, and MM O is in Key West.
What we wanted to see was the Seven Mile Bridge in the Lower Keys, less than 40 miles from Key West. It wasn't a very busy Monday morning, but still, it took us a long time to reach it. There are two bridges in this location. The older bridge was built in 1912 as part of the Overseas Railroad (once called the Eighth Wonder of the World), but it was badly damaged by a hurricane in 1935. The spectacular Seven Mile Bridge was built in 1982. It can be seen in lots of movies, such as True Lies, Licence to Kill, Up Close & Personal, etc.
Beach lovers as we are, we wanted to find a beach to spend the afternoon on. And before long, there it was, Bahia Honda State Park - voted the best beach in Florida, and the second best in the US. Crystal clear water, white sand, palms, pelicans, herons, you name it. And best of all, not crowded.
We didn't make it to Key West. We'll do it next time. A reason good enough to come back.

The course executive has come under pressure to revert to a Wednesday date for the Derby as last year's race failed to attract the crowds or betting turnover it had enjoyed when the centre of sporting attention in a midweek slot. Last year, run on a Saturday, it coincided with an England rugby match.
Edward Gillespie, managing director of United Racecourses, said: "Saturday, 8 June 1996 will be an outstanding day for English sport and we feel it is important that as many of the country's sports fans as possible have the chance to watch or listen to both the European Championship and Vodafone Derby without interruption.
"This is the second year that the race has been staged on a Saturday in recognition of the changing trends in the leisure market. We will further review that change after the 1996 Derby meeting, but in the light of encouraging advance bookings for boxes and badges, the signs are that the move to Saturday is considerably enhancing the popular appeal of the Derby."Reuse content

Amazing finish on Bar Stools. It is really hard to assess quality from a picture, but it exceeded all expectations.
"Heavy Duty". These 30" bar stools are awesome and extremely heavy duty. The only complaint I have is the foot rest (lower supports) should be raised up about 2" to 3". Other than that, My wife and me are very pleased with the quality.
very nice. Bought 4 barstools to use at basement bar, they assembled easily, look great-all 4 are stained to match-no color variation. the seat and back are a vinyl material- but look very true to dark brown leather. So far, very sturdy and swivel smoothly.
Great Value. I bought the chairs and the bar stools for a kitchen table and kitchen island as well as some for a bar. They look more expensive then they were. We love them.
Good, sturdy barstool. I ordered this stool along with 2 other types to see which one would work best. This was middle-range as far as price goes, and I was pretty impressed. It looks very nice, is heavier and sturdier than some cheaper options, and was easy to assemble. I would recommend this barstool to anyone looking for a good sturdy contemporary stool.
I would buy this product again. Looks great and works well at my counter
I was very pleased with porduct,. [...] the product was a perfect match to my existing bar stools. [...] The bar stools are really nice and your American customer service is outstanding.
Amazing product! Great product!! I am very pleased. Better than the picture actually
Handsome techie bar stool. These bar stools will be used at an eat in counter. The design is stunning! My only complaint is that the seat cushion is air tight so it makes an "air release" noise when you sit down. Not a show stopper but unnecessary. Seat support and foot rest are proportionally superior. The metal feet are furnished with stick-on synthetic fabric. Not sure how long these will last or how they will work with a tile floor that needs to be damp mopped.
Seriously great product. These barstools have it all retro, recline, swivel, double-ring, perfect amount of quality upholstery padding, easy-to-assemble, and great height. All I had to add were protectors (sliders) on the feet (got them at $1. store). I recommend getting sample swatches because upholstery quality differs with the color. I ordered Laredo-and it's thicker,a very good quality. [...]. Cost of barstools less than other sites for custom made stools.
good sturdy stools. I chose oak finish. They are much more orange/brown than pictured. I will likely refinish or paint them. Very sturdy, much more so than any I had seen in many stores. One of the hazards of ordering online. Photos are rarely true to color.
Great Product---[...]. The barstools just came in today are exactly what I expected. The color and craftsman ship are excellent and I am very satisfied with the product. [...] I am satisfied with the stools.
Beautiful Barstool. The chairs are very attractive and solid. One of the two I bought is a bit wobbly though and they are kind of hard to swivel comfortably. However, for the application, they are pretty great overall. The salesperson was very nice and accommodating as well.
Added the finishing touches! I wanted something with a stainless steel finish or look and a bit contemporary, and that is exactly what I got. I love these swivel stools they look fabulous and are very comfortable and sturdy. The fabric is right on and the company sent me a few swatches before I ordered. I would order them again.
A celebration of casual comfort, our bar stools, offered here by the thousands, allow endless options for hosting, entertaining or just kicking back by yourself. Go for retro or modern, available in handsome, quality materials: wood, leather, chrome, metal and more.

Why Globalization Works
by Martin Wolf
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A distinguished international economist here offers a powerful defense of the global market economy. Martin Wolf explains how globalization works, critiques the charges against it, argues that the biggest obstacle to global economic progress has been the failure not of the market but of governments, and offers a realistic scenario for economic internationalism in the post-9/11 age. For this paperback edition, Wolf provides a new introduction to update the debate.
This book addresses globalization almost exclusively from an economic standpoint. Viewed within those bounds, it seems pretty good, though I had a hard time telling how much to take at face value since I didn't feel like I had enough of a grasp of macroeconomics, trade, and finance to really engage and argue with it. He seemed to be making every effort to be even-handed, in that sober British-empiricist sort of way, but it's hard to tell if that's genuine or just a rhetorical strategy.
But, I've also not had much doubt that globalization has been an economic boon, if a somewhat fraught and unstable one, for most people and countries involved, or that the lack of integration with global markets is what's really killing the poorest of the poor countries, which is the best and most compelling argument he makes. The problem is that he refuses to engage the argument that there might be other values that aren't strictly economic but are nonetheless requirements for human health and happiness. Economic growth is of course incredibly important, but it's necessary-but-not-sufficient, and economists can never seem to grasp that simple fact.
He also blatantly caricatures those who would make arguments against a solely economic valuation of human happiness, almost always picking his putative opponents from the dumbest and most flamboyant 5% of people who question the costs of globalization, etc. The old "dirty hippies" kneejerk thing, which I would have thought he was above based on the soberness of much of his argument. Whenever he argues against fellow economists, he's always evenhanded and fair, but anytime a non-economic concern comes up, he quickly gets dismissive and petulant.
So, if you want a look at globalization as an economic phenomenon from a market fundamentalist who at least seems fairly even-handed and willing to acknowledge and critique the errors and injustices that have happened in a strictly economic context, this is your book. If you want a broad-based argument for or critical examination of globalization that really addresses environmental, social, cultural, and the myriad other associated concerns, you'll have to look elsewhere. Definitely worth reading as part of a broad survey, which is sort of what I'm gradually doing on the topic, but I wouldn't read it as a sole source.
Just before I started with Why Globalization Works, I read The World's Banker, a biography of James Wolfensohn, interlaced with a history of the World Bank in the last twenty years. That book, written by Sebastian Mallaby of The Economist, talked about some of the challenges faced development organizations like the World Bank from the "vast NGO conspiracy".
In Why Globalization Works, Martin Wolf, chief economics commentator of The Financial Times and a one time economist for the World Bank brings a scholarly defense of economic liberalization, along with a scathing reprimand for its critics. Mr. Wolf tends to be overtly analytical in style, the book is neatly organized in five parts and most of the chapters have numbered lists of issues that the author plans to tackle. This tool is both, the book's strength as well as its weakness. The cold hard data is hard to argue against but at the same time, I found myself lost in the numbers many a time.
I would like to discuss two (out of several) interesting observations from the book. The first is the comparison of the market to American football, an "ordered brawl" as opposed to say a street fight with no rules (the book mentions "folk football" instead of street fight). This comparison is attributed to the book Reinventing the Bazaar by John McMillan of UC Berkeley. That's the best metaphor of free market capitalism I have ever heard and something I will be repeating to associates in the future.
The second observation that I found interesting was Mr. Wolf's response to the allegation that wages, in China for example are so overwhelmingly low that they will invariably drive down wages for developed countries as well. An average Chinese worker engaged in manufacturing makes about $730 annually (or did according to the book, published in 2004), while similar German, American and British workers earned $35,000, $29,000 and $24,000 respectively. Mr. Wolf's response is that the Chinese worker is also that much less productive than his/her Western counterpart. He then follows up his claim with enough statistics, footnotes and references to satisfy the most discerning reader.
Finally, I really enjoyed the utter disdain Mr. Wolf shows for critics like Naomi Klein. He holds no punches in his criticism of the Canadian anti-globalization activist on her absurd positions on world trade and her diatribe against "corporations"
In spite of the excessive reliance on numbers and the extreme organization, this is an important and necessary book. Recommended.
This may not be the best review in the world, because I haven't finished the book. However, I have stopped reading it. Globalisation may be a wonderful thing, which will solve all the world's ills, but I'll never know (at least from reading this). If you're an economist, or some sort of statistics junkie, then you may fare better, but if, like me, you are looking for something to explain why globalisation is a good thing in laymans terms, then forget it. The overall impression I got from this book is that if you have to ask if globalisation is a good thing, then you're too dumb to understand the answer. Didn't work for me.
The author, a Financial Times editor, makes a conventional economist's argument for globalization that is not likely to convince many skeptics. His faith is that growth and everything else good comes from "the market," while any problems with globalization must be the fault of governments.

The Bulldogs enter the tournament as the No. 2 seed in Region One. Syracuse is the No. 1 seed in that region, but the interesting matchup for the Bulldogs would come in the second round. That game comes against the winner of the Georgia Tech-Indiana game, which is taking place in Atlanta even though the Yellow Jackets are the lower seed. ESPN announced that UGA's game with Belmont will tip off at 7 PM.
Belmont, 22-6, enters the game after losing only one regular-season conference game. The Bruins got the invitation to the NIT as a result of winning the Ohio Valley Conference regular season title earlier this year. Belmont's best win of the season is over Jacksonville State, which ended the year with a No. 150 RPI ranking and defeated Belmont to win the OVC conference title and the automatic berth into the NCAAs. Belmont lost to the four teams - Florida, Middle Tennessee State, Vanderbilt and Rhode Island - it played that finished with Top 50 RPIs.
The Bulldogs will also be a part of an experiment by the NCAA in regards to resetting team fouls after the ten-minute mark of each half - essentially ending the one-and-one free throw situation that currently happens on the 7th team foul.
According to the NCAA:
• Each team is limited to a team total of four personal and technical fouls (excluding administrative technical fouls) during each 10-minute segment of each half.
• The first 10-minute segment of each half will begin when the ball becomes live to begin the half and will end when the game clock reads 10:00. The second segment will begin when the game clock reads 9:59 and ends when the half ends.
• When a team has reached the four-foul limitation, all subsequent personal and technical fouls (excluding administrative technical fouls) will be penalized by two free throw attempts.
• Each team's foul total will reset to zero when any 10-minute segment has ended.
