Is it true that Latino is not a race?
Please forgive me if this question sounds foolish, and I don't intend to troll. But I found some sites and videos, and I looked on Wikipedia and the U.S. Census, and they say Latino is not a race. It came as a shocker to me because all this time, I honestly thought it is. I tried to tell my big sister about it, but she told me she doesn't believe that. She said that they have a distinct look, and many of them consider themselves to be a separate race. She then said it's foolish to believe the U.S. Census when it comes to race and ethnicity because of the time when Blacks were only considered 3/5 a person.

1. Part of an ethnic background,
traditionally Spanish-speaking. Hispanic or Latino Americans are Americans with origins in the Hispanic countries of Latin America and in general all persons in the United States who self-identify as Hispanic or Latino.

2. You should trust the Census and Wikipedia.
They are both correct. Hispanic/Latino are ethnicities.

3. hispanic or Latino
is considered an ethnic group,not a race.
Generally there are three 'races' white, black, asian. (although some have a sub classification of non-white hispanic/white hispanic but that is more used by law enforcement for identifying fugitives.)

4. long been considered ethnicity, not race.
The US census has long categorized first by ethnicity (Hispanic/Non-Hispanic) and then by race with the following categories:
black/African American
American Indian or Alaskan Native
Pacific Islander or Native Hawaiian
Other Race
Two or more races.
Each of those racial categories could be Hispanic or Non-Hispanic.
But, if you want to talk science, the human genome study has actually shown no unique correlations that differentiate the races. That is actually very important when people try to correlate certain aspects to race.

5. Latino race?
What about black Latinos or Jewish or blue eyed blondes? We should only be concerned with one race. The human race. There is more diversity in single troop of chimpanzees (about 20) than in the entire human population. We are just not that different.

6. Latino is an ethnic designation, not a race.
Latinos can be caucasian, american indian, black, or a mixture of any of those. There is no Latino race. Too much variation.
Frankly, I don't like dividing people into races at all. We're all part of the human race, and that's it.

7. Race is an antiquated idea
from the days when it was thought certain people should not breed with one another.
There are no races. There are people with different characteristics based on the part of the world they come from.
We are all genetically identical with minor variation in appearance.
People do have ethnic identities based on their heritage and culture.

8. That's why the Census asks...
when you check the box for "White", they then also ask you to further qualify "Not Hispanic or Latino". Caucasian covers a broad range of people and includes many varying ethnicities but they are all one race.

9. neither race nor ethnicity. Hispanic or Latino describes people originating from geographic areas
include Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. Spanish is not necessarily a prerequisite for being Latino as Brazilians and indigenous peoples throughout the region may not speak Spanish.
it is a pretty much worthless classification. Latinos are white, indian, black, even asian, and any and all combinations of the preceding.

11. Right, at least how my family sees it.
We're part Spanish (just uncovered this), but from Spain, not anywhere in the Americas. My great-grandmother was Spanish and Italian and migrated here from Europe in the 1910s. So I don't check the Latino box.

17. Depends where you are from
In the Soviet Union, Jewish was a nationality. Europeans look at Africans and see a black "race"; they look at each other and see different "ethnicities". Africans look at each other and see different tribes. Japanese see the world as divided into themselves, and "gaijin", a racial distinction.
There is only one species of homo sapiens, just as there is only one species of canis familiaris. In both species, selective breeding within a small population can give rise to breeds that can be judged by appearance against an archetypical standard, be it Golden Retriever, Tall Blond Swede, or Masai tribesman. While Nazi pseudo-scientists liked to read a lot into breed differences, there are only a few adaptations that humans have been bred for: resistance to malaria, low winter UV levels away from the Equator, cold and hot climates, lactose and gluten tolerance. Everything else, language included, is an environmental adaptation by the individual, not something genetically determined at birth, as "race" seems to be.
Race and ethnicity can be useful categories when it comes to medical science. Different groups have different susceptibilities to different diseases and may respond differently to different treatments. Knowing the statistical information on all those differences may be very useful when it comes to an individual as well as in a public health setting.
But race and ethnicity really don't mean much when it comes to individual interactions. It is much better to know if someone is smart or stupid, trustworthy or deceitful, than it is to know if they are African or Pacific Islander. But no matter how many times you tell them, there are people who think that the answer to the latter gives them good reason to suspect what the answer to the former two will be. They will go on making up racial classifications, as if it is an obvious case of cause and effect.

16. Blacks haven't been 3/5 of a person for a long time low, and everyone's ashamed of all...
those horrific compromises over slavery. Or should be.
So that is irrelevant.
I work for the Census Bureau and can't give you a definitive answer, although Hispanics have been a problem we've had to deal with because they often self-identify as a separate race, although no one else considers them as anything other than an ethnic group with many subgroups. Frankly, I don't think many Hispanics have thought much about racial identity at all until asked, and then they are confused and assume Hispanic is a racial group. Can't blame them for the way we insist on classifying people, though.
Census includes racial questions because other departments ask for it, and they all have their own specific definitions. At one point Census had maybe 30 racial subcategories, including such things as native Guamian and three from the Indian subcontinent.
It's all bullshit, of course, but people keep insisting race is important for some reason. Me, I wish it would all go away since it's been historically just a means to separate people.

19. Latino is not a race
Latino can NOT be a race, the same as blonde or Brazilian can not be a race. It is, however an ethnicity due to the similar backgrounds and languages. Most Latinos are a cross between Spaniards and one or more Native American tribal groups, with possibly some African tossed in as well. This is true whether the Latino in question is from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico, any of the Central American countries, or the good old U. S. of A. Calling Latino a race is the same as calling Irish, Scots, Norwegian, or Persian a race.

20. I don't think it's a race either
When I worked in Long Beach, California I sometimes had lunch at a small Chinese restaurant called The Great Wall. I was surprised one day to hear the Chinese owner laughing and joking with Mexican customers in perfect Spanish. I asked him where he learned it and he told me he was born in Mexico and considered himself as much Hispanic as Chinese. It seems that over half a million Mexicans have Chinese origins, their ancestors having arrived from China in the 1800s to work the mines. There are about two million Mexicans who have some measure of African ancestry. If these Spanish speakers came to the United States, should they identify as black, latino, or something else? Argentinians speak Spanish and call themselves latinos if they come to the U.S. but most of them have neither Spanish nor Indian blood and many have German, Russian, or Italian ancestry and have more in common culturally speaking with Europe than Latin America. What about Brazilians? They don't speak Spanish but Portuguese. Since Portuguese is derived from Latin and their culture is of southern European origin, can we call them latino? I knew a blonde Jewish guy from Brazil who called himself a latino. Does only Spanish speaking culture have a monopoly on the word "latino"? Are Dominicans, Cubans, and Puerto Ricans latinos? If so, then why aren't Haitians, Guadeloupans, and Martiniquans who speak French also latinos as French is a latin-derived language and a latin-influenced culture like Spanish? To me, the definition of what is a latino is not very clear.

23. I'm from South America myself and no it's not a race.
Latinos can be represented by many races often all mixed up in one person. What we have in common is the fact that we all originate south of the USA border. That's it. Although Spanish is the predominantly spoken language, there are many other languages both from the Old World and of the indigenous people spoken there. Customs are most often Spanish but many cultures are represented and integrated into the social systems. Each country has it's own unique mores and characteristics as well as music although there can be crossovers. Mostly the Roman Catholic religion is the main one but not the only one. I suspect that this is where the word Latino originated, from the religion, whose official language is Latin.

Mattel Releases Wearable Utility Belt And Batarang, Crimefighters No Longer Need Fear Embarrassing Pants Mishaps
One of the more unfortunate side effects of living in modern society is that we're expected to wear pants whenever we're in public. Seriously, they want you to do that every time you leave the house, even though that is clearly an unrealistic proposition for a society that has already perfected pajama technology. It's an undeniable hassle, but this month, Mattel released something that helps make it a little more awesome: a recreation of the classic Batman '66 utility belt, complete with a folding Batarang.
It's the latest entry in the tidal wave of merchandise that's been hitting shelves in the truly wonderful Batman TV series revival that we've been seeing over the past few months, and unless you're willing to get creative with your "Surf's Up" Batman action figure, it's the first one you can actually wear. Check out a video of the belt in action below!

Ethics and Community
Community Organization
The Baptist view of the church is fundamental to both its theology and its practices, and is of one of the core elements that distinctively shape the tradition.
The leadership of a Baptist church usually consists of one or more ordained, professional ministers or "pastors," as well as a board consisting of elected members of the congregation and some of the pastoral staff.
Principles of Moral Thought and Action
The ways in which Baptists approach moral thought and action reflect their emphasis upon the Bible, particularly on the New Testament, as well as their consistent emphasis on individual responsibility.
Vision for Society
Baptists maintain that societies best serve their members when societies are ordered in accord with God's will as revealed in the Bible. This includes the separation of Church and state but not the exclusion of religion from the public arena.
Historically, Baptists have held to views of gender and sexuality that are consistent with Protestant views in general. More recently, as with other Protestant traditions, a significantly increased diversity of views has emerged.

The Obama administration has no new worries about North Korea's nuclear program, and reports that it is too early to say whether Kim Jong Il's death portends a new relationship between Washington and Pyongyang.
"I don't think we have any additional concerns beyond the ones that we have long had with North Korea's approach to nuclear issues," said White House spokesman Jay Carney. "And we will continue to press them to meet their international obligations. But we have no new concerns as a result of this event."
As for future relations between the United States and North Korea, Carney said, "I think it's much too early to make any kind of judgment like that."
"This is a period where North Korea is in a period of national mourning," Carney said. "And we hope that the new North Korean leadership will take the steps necessary to support peace, prosperity and a better future for the North Korean people, including, as I say, acting on its commitment to denuclearization."
In the meantime, Carney said, the United States is monitoring events in North Korea:
Our focus is on coordinating closely with our allies and partners.
We have reaffirmed our unwavering commitment to the stability of the Korean Peninsula and the security of our allies South Korea and Japan. The president, as you know, has had a very close working relationship with (South Korean) President Lee (Myung Bak) and spoke to him late last night.
In addition to that communication, Secretary (of State Hillary Rodham) Clinton, (Defense) Secretary (Leon) Panetta, National Security Adviser Tom Donilon -- they have all spoken to their counterparts in the Korean government, as has our team on the ground, including our ambassador and the head of U.S. Forces Korea.
Secretary Clinton is meeting today with the Japanese foreign minister, and we have also consulted closely with a wide range of our Japanese colleagues. In addition, we are in touch with Russia and China, the two other members of the six-party talks beyond North Korea.
And President Obama has been regularly briefed on the situation.

Environmental Decision Memo for Food Contact Notification No. 000495
Return to inventory listing: Inventory of Environmental Impact Decisions for Food Contact Substance Notifications or
the Inventory of Effective Food Contact Substance Notifications.
See also Environmental Decisions.
Date: April 11, 2005
From: Environmental Review Group (ERG)/Supervisor
Division of Chemistry Research and Environmental Review (HFS-246)
Subject: FCN No. 495 -Na dichloroisocyanurate and Na bromide mixture for use as an antimicrobial agent in paper and paperboard
Notifier: Occidental Chemical Corp.
c/o SRA International Inc
To: Division of Food Contact Notifications (HFS-275)
Attention: Mark Hepp, Ph.D.
The SRI International Corp submitted a letter on February 18, 2005, on behalf of Occidental Chemical Corporation, requesting that Food Additive Petition 8B4571 be converted to a Food Contact Notification. The converted petition was designated as Food Contact Notification No. 495.
The environmental reviewer for the Food Additive Petition, Mark Hepp, prepared a memorandum dated November 18, 1998, stating the following:
"In a letter dated November 16, 1998, the petitioner submitted a claim for a categorical exclusion under 21 CFR 25.32(q). I have reviewed the claim and conclude that it is warranted. The claim of categorical exclusion cites the section under which the categorical exclusion is claimed, includes a statement of compliance with the categorical exclusion criteria, and includes a statement that the petitioner knows of no extraordinary circumstances that require submission of an environmental assessment. Therefore, neither an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required."
Mark Hepp was assigned to be the environmental reviewer for FCN 495. He determined that the FIFRA label for the FCS for the proposed use was current and concluded that the claimed categorical exclusion was still warranted.

Ed Tech at OSPI
Digital Learning Day
Held every February, Digital Learning Day marks a series of state and national events that showcase technology integration programs in K-12 schools and districts. Here in Washington, we honor all the fine work taking place across the state by educators and edtech staff who believe that, in the 21st century, technology is an essential element of classroom life.
Video Explores the iMiller iPad Integration Project
To celebrate Digital Learning Day 2013, we produced a video that tells the story of the iMiller iPad Integration Project. One year ago, all 500 students at Miller Junior High in Aberdeen were issued an iPad for classroom use. The video takes a look at the inner workings of the program, and shows how this portable learning technology is affecting the teachers and students who use the iPads every day.
When learning goes digital, notes Dorn, the classroom opens up. "Kids can connect with the best and latest learning resources and build important tech skills. Teachers add a whole new set of tools and practices for instruction. Technology makes learning possible anytime, anywhere."

This is the only garden hose with a unique double helix construction that will not kink. Made from pliable, ultra-lightweight polypropylene with intertwining helices that increase its strength and helps maintain its shape, this hose is easier to handle than cumbersome ones constructed from thick, heavy rubber. The high-quality, internally expanded brass fittings maintain full flow even when tangled around patio furniture or pinned under a bike. The 5/8"-diam. hose will not burst or split in pressure surges up to 300 PSI—more than 3X typical home water pressure—and its crush-proof brass fittings ensure a firm connection with spigots and accessories. The weather-resistant hose remains flexible in temperatures from -20° F to 158° F.

The Best Ever!!!
By I love flowers
from chicago illinois
I use this hose every day. One of the best purchases I ever made and well worth the money. I spend a lot of time out in the yard and garden every day. This hose does not kink and makes my life so much easier. Nothing worse than a hose that kinks:(
Best hose
By bbv
from Lake Worth, FL
I now have a collection of 3 of these hoses which are super lightweight and do not kink. They are so flexible and lightweight that dragging around any other hose has become a major chore. The best thing: although I can't speak to longevity because the oldest of these hoses is not yet 1 year, I know that should it fail I have the HS guarantee behind it.
good hose.
By SteelWheel
from Wichita, Ks.
It will get tangled up, but the water keeps flowing. It nevers kinks offf the flow of water.
Great quaility & works as described
By Taz
from Fairfax,Va.
Needing a 100' hose, I checked this one out. I had bought other "commercial" or "contractor" grade hoses to use, but they all seemed to kink up. This hose deploys, rolls up, & stores easily. Even when I'm not using all 100', the rest stays on the holder w/o falling off & no loss of pressure.
By Joan
from Seattle, WA
After what seems to have been a variety of hose purchases over the years I have found one that suits my needs. My old hoses were heavy and cumbersome to move around and had the usual kinking issues. Then I went for the auto-expanding type and found there wasn't enough pressure for washing the car. This hose seems to be the best of both worlds. It's light weight and doesn't kink when moving it around corners, etc. All this and offering the water pressure that is the advantage of the usual garden hoses on the market. Great Find!
Excellent quality; holds up well in very warm temperatures
By Jo
from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
Unwinds easily; good weight to handle; unwinds easily
Finally - unkinkable
By Joyce
from Sioux City, Iowa
I had to glue the end nozzle in - water pressure had forced the end out. Still the best hose I have ever had.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback on this product. We appreciate it so we can make sure to offer the highest quality products!
as promised
By caseman

replaced heavy rubber with this and so far so good...no complaints!
Unkinkable lightweight hose
By Chase
from Niagara
very happy with hose except for the color

"The UCAC is actively raising funds for the U.S. Colored Troops memorial, hoping to secure at least $30,000 by the end of the year. The monument will be designed and built by Gary Casteel and will cost $200,000. Casteel is known for work on statues in Gettysburg and other Civil War parks and memorials, including the new memorial to Confederate POWs at Point Lookout."
Story here and here.
The monument was commissioned by the United Committee for Afro-American Contributions:
The United Committee for Afro-American Contributions pursues a varied outreach program including gathering and sharing oral histories, holding lectures, seminars, workshops, and promoting events — all in the pursuit of our mission.I've seen some preliminary drawings of this memorial (one shown here) and I think it will be quite striking once completed. My fellow Virginian and friend, Gary Casteel, continues to have an enormous impact on historical interpretation through his artwork.
You can go to the UCAC website if you'd like to contribute funds for this project.

Bagby Hall Space Requirements
Once Eggleston can be renovated and occupied for student-focused activities and services, some academic spaces will be released. About 1,700 NSF in Bagby will be freed when Career Services, Counseling, and Academic Support can be relocated. This space can then be renovated and reassigned. Bagby represents an opportunity for departmental consolidation, where departments may have become separated due to their growth and lack of available, contiguous faculty office spaces. Expansion of departmental facilities is another option for reassignment. For example, additional labs might be created for the Psychology Department.
The College will study the reuse potential of Bagby in more detail at the time space is being prepared for relocating current Bagby occupants.

Well, I'm really sorry.. more than 3 bloody months without any new squirting chicks on Squirtspace.com, what a shame. The time passed by way too fast and my sex trip to South Africa felt by far too short.
Yes it's been a great time there, lot's of ebony pussys. Very cheap of course and they're always looking for some sex tourists as they don't earn too much by working on the fields.
It's always easier to suck or fuck a strangers dick! There was just one thing I really missed over there. Some well aiming squirting pussies. Girls getting such great orgasms that liters of fluid spray out of their bodys. It seems to be miracle what happeny there but however I love it!!
Especially the combination of exotic girls plus fountains always makes me horny. Just take a look at this squirting ebony pussy for instance. Stacie looks like a all ordinary black babe. A beautiful face, big tits and luscious lips, that are made for sucking a guys glans and his balls.
Actually she was just booked for a little photo shooting, nothing special but the Cameras can be soo distracting as you can see in the following squirtsex pictures..
Well after some nice pussy rubbing, by a great automatic whirling toy and a kindly blowjob. The fucking goes on and with the fucking comes the geysir..
The kind assistant of the photographer get's the special task to stick his big white dick into Stacys mouth. So far so good and as the ebony babe is still a bit confused and distracted by the camera it just happens as requested.
The ebony pussy gets wetter and wetter with each new fucking position and loads of squirt shots land right on the male partner. It doesn't matters because the dick also shows his fluid shooting abilities in return. What a nice cum shot and a perfect interracial scene over all!!

Integrated Weed Management Hub
Using this resource
Rapid expansion of herbicide resistance and the lack of new modes of action (MOA), require that non-herbicide tactics must be a significant component of any farming system and weed management strategy. Inclusion of non-herbicide tactics is critical to prolong the effective life of remaining herbicides, as well as for new products and modes of action that have not yet been released or indeed invented. Effective herbicides are key components of profitable cropping systems. Protecting their efficacy directly contributes to the future sustainability and profitability of cropping systems.
We need to look after what we have. It is a shock to some that the last significant new herbicide mode of action released in Australia was Group H chemistry, first launched in Australia in 2001. Prior to that, the most recent other new mode of action was Group B chemistry, when chlorsulfuron was commercialised in Australia in 1982.
This manual is an on-line resource to assist Australian grain growers and advisers to quickly locate useful web based information on weed management in Australian broadacre cropping systems.
This manual is a road map to information. It summarises the role, use and benefits of different weed management tactics. The many links embedded in these web pages provide access to a myriad of more detailed on-line multi media resources. These links provide access to the detailed information that readers will need on the topics being researched for on-farm adoption.
It is intended that this manual will continue to evolve with links added and updated on a regular basis as new material comes to hand.
One of the key resources that is linked to extensively in the IWM Hub is the Integrated Weed Management Manual. This manual, Updated in 2014 is a key reference in the management of weeds.
Introduction to Integrated Weed Management
Successful weed management requires a field by field approach. Knowledge of weeds and weedbank status, soil types as relevant to herbicide use as well as cropping and pasture plans are all critical parts of the picture. Knowledge of paddock history and how much summer and winter weeds have been subjected to selection to resistance (and to which herbicide modes of action) can also assist.
When resistance has been identified, knowledge of which herbicides still work becomes critically valuable information.
The following 5 point plan will assist in developing a management plan in each and every paddock.
- Review past actions and history
- Assess current weed status
- Identify weed management opportunities
- Match opportunities and weeds with suitably effective management tactics
- Combine ideas into a management plan. Use of a rotational plan can assist
Review past actions
Knowing the historical level of selection pressure can be valuable information to give managers a 'heads up' as to which weed/ MOA groups are at greatest risk of breaking. Such knowledge can prompt more intensive monitoring for weed escapes when a situation of higher risk exists. Picking up newly developing resistance issues while patches are still small and before they spread can mean a big difference in the cost of management over time.
From all available paddock records, calculate or estimate the number of years in which different herbicide MOA's have been used. The number of years in which a herbicide MOA has been used is of far greater relevance than the number of applications in total. For most weeds, using a herbicide MOA in two consecutive years presents a far greater selection pressure for resistance than two applications of the same herbicide MOA in the one year. If the entire paddock history is unavailable to you, state what is known and estimate the rest. Collate separate data on MOA use for summer and winter weed spectrums. Further sub divide these into broadleaved and grass weeds.
Account for double knocks. Where survivors of one tactic would have been controlled in large part by the use of another tactic, reduce the number of MOA uses accordingly. An example might be: Trifluralin has been used 20 times, but there have been 6 years when in-crop Group A selectives were used and several more years where in-crop group B products that targeted the same weed as the trifluralin were used. These in-crop herbicides effectively double knocked the trifluralin, thus reducing the effective selection pressure for resistance to trifluralin somewhat.
Review the data you have collected and identify which weed / MOA groups have been selected for at a frequency likely to lead to resistance in the absence of a double knock. Trifluralin typically takes about 10-15 years of selection for resistance to occur. Thus in the above example, a 'watching brief' would be in place for trifluralin and other Group D MOA herbicides.
Paddock history can also be useful information when evaluating the likely reasons for herbicide spray failures, in prioritising strategies for future use and deciding which paddocks receive extra time for scouting to find potential patches of weed escapes.
Information on MOA use history should be added to paddock records.

RIM (Ryegrass Integrated Management), provides insights into the long-term management of annual ryegrass in dryland broadacre crops facing development of herbicide resistance. RIM enables alternative strategies and tactics for ryegrass management to be compared for profit over time and impact on weed numbers. The software's underlying model integrates biological, agronomic and economic considerations in a dynamic and user-friendly framework, at paddock scale and over the short and long-term.
The tool tracks the changes through time on a 10 year crop cycle for ryegrass seed germination, seed production and competition with the crop. Financial returns are also estimated annually and as a 10 year average return.
A free download is available from: http://www.ahri.uwa.edu.au/RIM
Assess the current weed status
Record the key broadleafed and grass weed species for summer and winter and include an assessment of weed density, with notes on weed distribution across the paddock. Include GPS locations or reference to spatial location of any key weed patches or areas tested for resistance.
Include any data, observations or information relating to the known or suspected herbicide resistance status of weeds in this paddock.
Add this information to paddock records.
Identify weed management opportunities within the cropping system
Identify what different herbicide and non-herbicide tactics could be cost effectively added to the system and where in the crop sequence these can be added. For information on the different integrated weed management tactics please, see this section in the IWM manual.
Fine tune your list of options
Which are your preferred options to add to current weed management tactics to add diversity and help drive down the weed seed bank?
Weed Seed Wizard
The Weed Seed Wizard helps growers understand and manage weed seedbanks on farms across Australia's grain growing regions.
It is a computer simulation tool that uses paddock management information to predict weed emergence and crop losses. Different weed management scenarios can be compared to show how different crop rotations, weed control techniques, irrigation, grazing and harvest management tactics can affect weed numbers, the weed seedbank and crop yields.
The 'Wizard' uses farm specific information and users enter their own farm management records, their paddock soil type, local weather and one or more weed species. The 'Wizard' has numerous weed species to choose from including annual ryegrass, barley grass, wild radish, wild oat, brome grass and silver grass in the southern states and liverseed grass, barnyard grass, paradoxa grass, feather-top Rhodes grass, bladder ketmia, fleabane, sowthistle, sweet summer grass, cowvine, and bellvine in the north.
A free download is available from: https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/weed-seed-wizard-0
Combine and test ideas
Computer simulation tools can be useful to run a number of 'what-if' scenarios to investigate potential changes in management and the likely effect of weed numbers and crop yield. Two simulation tools being used are the "Weed Seed Wizard" and RIM – Ryegrass Integrated Management.
Combine ideas using a rotational planner, or test them in using decision support software such as RIM &/ or Weed Seed Wizard.

Paris (AFP) Oct 24, 2013
French utilities group Suez Environnement reported a 5.0-percent rise in underlying profit for the first nine months of the year on Thursday, but international sales fell on completion of a huge desalination project in Australia.
The group said that the waste management business in Europe rallied in the third quarter, and that its overall activity had "steadily improved" since the beginning of the year.
Shares in the company gained by 3.24 percent to 13.05 euros in initial trading, beating the wider French market which was up 0.32 percent.
Chief executive Jean-Louis Chaussade commented: "Although the economic environment is still tough, the third quarter appears to show some signs of an improvement in Europe, and the group is ready to continue its expansion."
The group, a world leader in the treatment of water and in waste management, said that earnings before interest, tax depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) had risen by 5.0 percent in the nine months to 1.86 billion euros ($2.56 billion).
But sales fell back by 2.7 percent to 10.8 billion euros.
However, the company stood by its targets for the year.
At brokers Aurel BGC, analyst Fabien Laurenceau commented that the Ebitda results were better than had been expected but that the sales figures were not so good.
The latest results showed an Ebitda result in the third quarter of 640 million euros from sales of 3.64 billion euros, about in line with average estimates by analysts polled by Bloomberg news service.
The gross operating margin for the nine months rose to 17.2 percent from 15.9 percent at the same time last year.
Suez Environnement said that changes in exchange rates had had a negative effect on sales amounting to 154 million euros or 1.4 percent of the nine-month total.
Sales by the waste management division in Europe fell by 3.8 percent over the nine months to 4.87 billion euros, but had rallied by 0.3 percent in the third quarter, on a 12-month basis.
Water treatment activities in Europe grew by 1.6 percent to 3.26 billion euros.
This was pulled by a 5.3-percent increase by Spanish business Agbar. However, the original business of the group in France, Lyonnaise des Eaux, reported a fall of 0.2 percent in sales.
International activities fell by 5.2 percent, but this reflected the completion of a desalination plant in Melbourne, Australia.
The company said that in the fourth quarter, it would recover a provision of 58 million euros following settlement of disputes relating to this project.
Finance director Jean-Marc Boursier said during a telephone press conference that the markets in France, Britain where the government is pushing hard to develop incineration of waste, and in Scandinavia were showing signs of improvement.
Boursier said it was too soon to give an outlook for 2014.
A recovery of the economy in Europe would be important for the group which generates 36.2 percent of its sales in France and 34.4 percent elsewhere in Europe.
At the end of September, the share of non-European sales was 29.4 percent.
The main competitor, French group Veolia, is to publish its latest results on November 7.

2010 328i climate control issues
We purchased a CPO 2010 328i in March of this year on a warm day. The a/c worked great. 2 days later it got into the 30's, the heat on the driver's side wouldn't blow warm air AT ALL. The passenger side worked fine. Took it to the dealer. They fixed it, something about a controller. Said they had to remove the entire dash to repair. Ok? Covered under warranty. It stayed cool for a few weeks, so we didn't need the a/c. Summer gets here and we notice the driver's side will not cool down. Again the passenger side is working great, blowing cold air. Took it to the dealer. They told my wife that the driver's and passenger side climate control systems are separate, two completely different systems. Said the driver's side needed refrigerant. Is this correct? Repair covered under warranty. This morning it's 45 degrees outside, my wife froze all the way to work(45mins.). The driver's side isn't blowing any hot air, and she said the passenger side will blow hot air intermittently. The dealer can't get to it until the 16th. I've read up on this topic on your forum and haven't seen anyone else with our issues? I usually do all my own mechanic work. I'm new to BMW's, so I'm at the mercy of the dealership until I learn about the BMW's. PLEASE, is there something we should know? Thanks for reading, Ed. Sorry for the long post.
So the issue is the vents don't blow air consistently?
Check the the AC blower motor. If there is evidence of rust, you have the infamous cowl leak.
| LCI Msport Conversion | Exotic Tuning Front Lip | H&R Coilovers | M3 Subframe Bushings | Custom Polyurethane Shore A90 Tension Strut Bushings | E93 M3 23.6mm Rear Sway Bar | UUC Front Sway Bar | Custom Heim Joint Rear Control Arms | Apex ARC-8 | Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Spec | Modified Dinan Cold Air Intake | aFe Oiled Drop-in Filter | Custom Hand-Made LED Angel Eyes | Alpine MRP-M500 | Custom LED Reverse Lights | OEM Blacklines | BMW Performance Trunk Spoiler |
It blows lots of air and always has. You can't adjust it from hot to cold, or cold to hot. At first just the driver's side had this problem and the passenger side worked perfectly. This is the 3rd issue with the hvac system. We had to take it to the dealer for it to make heat. Then we had to take it to dealer to get the drivers side a/c to blow cold air. Is it true what the dealer said about the driver's and passenger side being 2 separate systems? And now that we need heat, neither side will make "heat", only the passenger side will intermittently(very little).
Although it may have nothing to do with your problem, it's worth checking. What do you have the hot/cold disk set to? This is an adjustment nob in the center console. It will override the temp setting. I could never get my 335 to heat up. Then one day I realized the adjustment knob was set to cold. I set it midway, and now it blows hot or cold the way I expect it to.

I don't know what the knob is set to. It's my wife's car. I'll check it this evening. She said this morning that it will not blow air now on the heat setting. Someone mentioned a cowl leak? I drove it this past weekend in the pouring rain, and I'm pretty sure the heat was working then. So, what to check for the cowl leak? And, if that leaks, does it affect anything electronic?
Ok, so it stopped blowing air entirely last week. I just took the cover off and there is rust on the blower motor. And, the cowl doesn't seem to be fitting properly. I can see space between the cowl and windshield. It's barely visible, but definitely not water proof. Is there a TSB for this? Will the dealer cover the cost of this? BTW, all this occurred a day after we were out in a pouring rain storm. fdriller9, looks like you hit the nail on the head.
Ok, so the service advisor called my wife and told her we needed a heater core replacement. How does that affect the blower motor? I called him and told him that the heater core shouldn't affect the operation of the blower motor. He stated that they could not duplicate the problem. He said it (heater core restrictions) happens all of the time. I asked if they opened the cover and saw rust on the blower motor as I did. He said he has his "lead" tech on it and trusted him to know what it needed. He did not answer my question. I feel we are getting screwed. It's going to happen again. I checked the loaner car and the cowl fits so much tighter to the windshield than our does. Any advise?
BTW. We set the knob to the center before we took it in for service and it seemed to work ok. But it did not work as good as the loaner car's heating system does.

Other common symptoms include a wet passenger footwell carpet.
The TSB calls for replacement of the cowl. Unfortunately the AC blower motor is not covered but if you get lucky, a dealer may "goodwill" the repair....as was my case. I was in my CPO warranty period and they replaced the motor since it was damaged from the cowl issue.
The heater core should have nothing to do with this issue and is most likely a completely separate issue.
If you are out of warranty, you're better off DIY this repair. It can be quite expensive since a good majority of the dash needs to be removed to access the blower motor.
Btw, my cowl came from the factory with a missing piece (or someone didn't reinstall it at the dealer!!!). The trim that attaches to the bottom of the windshield glass was missing. The cowl clips into this trim and this is how the pressure is created to seal against the glass.

I called the service advisor to tell him there was a TSB for the cowl. He said there was not a TSB for our car. Does anyone have the TSB number? We argued a little. He said he trusts his tech. I am a DIYer but it's under warranty. It is such a PITA dealing with these people. It's so freakin' obvious that the cowl isn't sealing. I worked in both a Dodge, and a Ford stealership service dept. in the late 80's. Both were so dishonest, and I'm sure they haven't changed. I'm thinking seriously about getting an attorney involved. Nothing but problems with the climate control system since the beginning. CPO means absolutely nothing. I'm positive the next time it rains hard it will do this again.
You've had all your questions answered except one. If you're still interested, it's the one about the dealer saying you have two completely separate HVAC systems for the driver and passenger. Baloney.
There is only one outside temperature sensor, one sunload sensor, one heater core (makes hot air), one coolant pump, one condenser, one evaporator (makes cold air), and one compressor. There is only one intake plenum, one recirc. plenum, one cabin air filter and one ductworks routing the incoming air through the filter, and then through the evaporator (100% of incoming air goes through the AC evaporator 100% of the time). There is also only one HVAC housing under the dash, and one control module in the dash. What there are two of are the dials for you to select driver/passenger temp's, the sensors which read the driver and passenger cabin area temperatures, and the doors which mix hot/cold air to send it to the driver's and passenger's vents.
Two completely separate systems? Not quite.
Thanks everyone. You all have answered all of my questions. I know what caused the problem. With that said, they replaced the heater core. And the heating system works fine now-according to my wife. But I'm sure the next time it rains hard the blower motor is going to stop again. And thanks DSX, I was pretty sure the SA was lying to my wife about having 2 separate systems. But being new to the BMW brand I wasn't sure. Great forum, I've learned a lot from it.
Hi ,
I had the same problem with my 2009 318d, the A/C was stopped working after a hard rain and the passenger footwell carpet was wet. The dealer didn't reinstall the windshield for me, so I'm worried about the next rain! Omg! I knew this forum too late . .
For further discussion with the BMW service guys, can I know the VIN of your car please? Just as another example to argue about this common problem . Thanks in advance.

Be The Change: Human Trafficking
Liz Ramirez Kemp, a sociology and media arts and design double major at James Madison University, is not only a dynamic and engaged student at JMU but also a social agent for human trafficking in our nation.
In the spring of 2012, Ramirez' sophomore year, she found a way to combine her passion for justice and equality with her collegiate studies at JMU. Ramirez, along with classmates Danielle McLean, Jasmine Jones, and Kristen Hotz, enrolled in the SMAD (School of Media Arts and Design) class Writing for New Media taught by instructor Paige Normand. During the course of the semester, mtvU, a digital cable television network owned by MTV with content geared toward university students, launched the "Against Our Will Campaign" to raise awareness and inspire action related to ending modern day slavery.
Ramirez and her classmates, with the encouragement of their professor, researched human trafficking and created an interactive video project that highlights the backstories of survivors of sex and labor trafficking. By making the project interactive, the SMAD students felt like the public would be able to connect better to the emotional context of human trafficking. mtvU agreed, selected the work as one of the finalists for their campaign, and in January of 2013 re-released the project as part of the National Slavery and Human Trafficking Awareness Month. The interactive video, adopted by mtvU and called "The Backstory" is now a combination of interpretive dance and story-telling, narrated by rapper Talib Kweli, and features the troupe Ailey II. The students were subsequently awarded $10,000 and were considering donating some of the money to anti human trafficking organizations.
Ramirez, however, was not one to rest on her successes. Wanting to do more and continue her investigation into human trafficking, she designed an ethnographic study of an agency providing services to victims of human trafficking as a thoughtful and impressive senior honors thesis in sociology. Collecting her own data, she conducted over 300 hours of participant observation and did semi-structured interviews with a number of survivors and staff members, seeking to understand more of the survivors' experiences and identify best practices of advocacy and support. Ramirez's work exemplifies her dedication to JMU's motto "be the change."

Seaside Sights: Whale Migration
Every winter, gray whales cruise the Oregon Coast on their way to warmer waters for the season. Lucky for us, these majestic giants swim near land, making it easy to spot their flipping tails and high spouts from the shoreline. Join us as we hike coastal bluffs and cruise on chartered boats for a front-row seat to their southern migration—just don't forget your binoculars!
Though officially whale watching week doesn't start until December (Dec. 26—Jan.1), locals are getting a jump start on the viewing right now, catching the whales migrating from north to south. You can pick any of the 26 locations along the Oregon Coast to see these imposing mammals as they journey toward Baja. While you're there, take an excursion on nearby wooded trails that offer sweeping sea views for whale sightings. Bring your binoculars to Ecola State Park and hike along the Clatsop Loop. The two-and-a-half mile trail climbs through coastal forest and along lofty cliffs. (Bonus: take the detour at the halfway point to check out the view of Tillamook Rock Lighthouse).
And at Cape Perpetua there are 26 miles of hiking trails through forest and out to the beach.
There are many coastal hikes alongside whale watching locales to explore. Find your favorite along Oregon's scenic coastline.
Immerse yourself in whale sightings with a charter boat trip. Head out along the southern coast with Rogue River Country. Or go to Depoe Bay to ride with marine biologists on the Whale Research EcoExcursions. For more information on boat trips (and even air flights) visit the Oregon Coast site.
If you want to be more than just a spectator, consider volunteering with Whale Watching Spoken Here. They send trained volunteers to whale watching spots to help guide and inform visitors.
Learn more online about Oregon's year-round whale migration, or pop into the Whale Watching Center in Depoe Bay.

Fires have caused damage to the two properties in Scullin and Ainslie this morning.
The first started in a dishwasher while it was running at a home on McIntosh Street just before 9.30am.
The fire was contained to the dishwasher but caused smoke damage to the rest of the three-bedroom home.
No one was inside at the time.
Crews were still ventilating the home at 10.30am, and the HAZMAT team were conducting atmospheric monitoring.
The second fire started in an exhaust fan at Ainslie Village on Quick Street.
Firefighters rushed to the scene and had extinguished the fire before 10.50am.
No injuries were reported from that fire, but ambulance officers were on scene.

Radiohead are planning to start recording the follow-up to 'HTTT' in 2005, but is unlikely that we'll hear from the band at all until that time. The band have revealed that they will take a complete break from recording and touring commitments for the rest of 2004 but deny that the next record will show such a marked change in direction as 'Kid A'.
Drummer Phil Selway told NME: "We have no plans at the moment- we just want some clear time not thinking about music and not really thinking about what we're going to do next. We've got to rest everything."
He explained: "We've just had a very intense period of recording and touring. We've got to not so much rethink everything but just come back to it with the right motivation. We're very keen to get back together and make music together, but as and when we don't yet know".
Talking about a possible change in direction, Selway said: "We'd reached a point at the end of OK Computer where we were sick of that approach to song writing and we needed time away from it. We don't think we feel that way now."
He continued: "I don't think we need to knock down what we've done before and completely reinvent ourselves but at the same time we need to improve as musicians, we need new material, and to try arrangement ideas".
Also, in that same NME in a short Q&A with DJ Shadow.
Q-When you were recording with U.N.K.L.E, did Thom Yorke tell you any jokes?
A- "Well, there was one time when he was really laughing at James Lavelle and I because we were both filming each other filming him do the vocals. Since then my footage was stolen from Manchester- I was on tour and someone stole my camcorder including six months of tape. I'm sure the tapes went straight in the bin, too."
[thanks Ed.]

Your not the only one. Im pretty sure other people had to deal with it as well.
Pros: I met awesome people I wanted to meet and I had fun getting items signed (especially from Johnny Bosch).
I also liked the food trucks outside the convention area because lets face it, the hotel food may taste good but the price is high.
dealer's room: I actually liked the variety of it and even bought some items I didn't think I will find it. The snack area where ramune and pocky was sold was great, I bought plenty to take home for the family.
Just like Angii mention, security staff were overboard and took me by surprised when they pull me out to get my weapons check. I had the color band on friday and I even ask one of the staff members if it be okay for tomorrow so that I won't have to deal with it or go through with them again. She said it was fine, but saturday came and I wore the same outfit in the afternoon and I noticed people had other color bands which I was unaware of. Luckily, the guy who was there was kind enough to change the color band just to avoid any trouble from other staffs, but I didn't really didn't see the point in it since its already marked as safe.
Hotel: The hotel was lovely but god was it hot those days. I was sweating more then the usual in my outfit that I had to literally go outside and take some air. The elevators were cramp and I walked the stairs often but I felt bad for those who had their rooms in the other levels.
Panel rooms/events/ etc:
I was disappointed with the console rooms. It was not only small, but cramp and had the usual funk smell I remember enduring when I was a Game staff.
There were some areas I didn't know how to get there and the map didn't really help much, plus some panels started late.
After the bloopers panel on friday, I was sitting down waiting for the next panel and this staff girl was rude yelling at people to get out if they weren't 18+. Then she said for those who were staying to show some ID's, which we were ready to do so but she change her mind and rudely ask us to leave.
I understand your doing your job, but no need to yell at people especially in front of the VA's who were leaving from the previous panel. It made me not want to stay there if I was going to be treated like an idiot.
Saturday night: The concert lines for the events were huge. Not only did Eyeshine concert started later then the actual timing, but those who waited in line early (like myself) and those who got there late were confused which line was it for the show. It got sorted out later after we told a staff that the line next to the escalators were there first and the rest of the line was in the wall on the right side.
I also didn't realize there was this snack area nearby the Main event hallway, but it was really secluded and half of the time hidden by people who were standing there.
Thoughts: I liked the hotel and even tho I didn't stayed there (i stayed in the doubletree). I had fun spending time with friends and newer friends and I know I be back to AM the next year. I just hope they pay attention to their schedules and improved on their staff because half the time I asked a question, they didn't have any clues of what was going on or there were too busy.

is it possible to search for a part of an URL? Someone asked that some
time ago on this list, but he didn't get a response. So if it's not
can you say how difficult it is to add this feature? If you point me to
the files
to change, and if it's not to difficult, I could try to add this.
An example of what I mean: Someone searches for "foobar" and gets
www.blah.com/~blubb/foobarblah.html as a result, even if that file
contain the string "foobar".

Books On Instrumentalist Marxism
Instrumentalist Marxism is a view of the role of the state from a conflict perspective or Marxist perspective. The state is seen as an instrument of the dominant class of the society as in dominant ideology thesis of Karl Marx and is assumed to operate at its behest. Instrumentalist Marxism view has now been largely displaced by a the structuralist approach or structurally-focused analysis.
Instrumentalist Marxism approach stresses the importance of the intimate connection of the capitalist class to the state power apparatus and argues that it is this interconnection that explains political and economic policies in capitalist societies. "Instrumentalist Marxism can be salvaged by adoption of the concept of 'relative autonomy'."
"At the other end are more rigid theories (such as instrumentalist Marxist or dependency models), in which the state is understood as little more than a handmaiden to the interests of domestic and/or international capital" (Grindle and Thomas, 1991; Dunleavy, 1991).
"Reflecting some of these concerns, more recent studies of governance and development have tended to reject cruder models (such as pluralism or instrumentalist Marxism) in favour of a less rigid understanding of state-society interaction" (Evans, 1995; Grindle and Thomas, 1991; Kohli, 1987; Migdal, 1988; Putnam, 1993; Tendler, 1997; Jenkins, 1999).
