A tale of helping others
With technology it's amazing the people you can meet. With similar interests.
Like @MarocMama who I've communicated with via Twitter.
She too came to Morocco and wanted to return and make a difference.
Inspired by the fact that there is a home for abandoned babies and "the babies spend quite a bit of time in their cribs and it would be nice if they had some mobiles to look at," she writes on her blog, Maroc Mama, she wanted to do something.
So she's launched Mobiles for Morocco from the United States to collect either monetary donations or mobiles that she will then deliver to orphanages here in September.
Having volunteered in an orphanage in Marrakech, I can certainly support her initiative.

What a wonderful idea!!
That is one place I'd LOVE to go as soon as I get to visit!!! 🙂

text: Introducing Bulls Eye Zero Primer Zero VOCs – Zero Compromise Somerset, NJ – A new interior/exterior primer that delivers premium performance without the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has just been introduced under the Zinsser brand – Bulls Eye Zero. Bulls Eye Zero delivers "best in class" performance in an eco-friendly, LEED compliant formula that's great for all interior and exterior surfaces. It offers superior hide, blocks common stains, seals porous surfaces and offers legendary Zinsser adhesion. "Rust-Oleum has focused research and development on delivering performance characteristics in low VOC primers which are equivalent to more traditional formulas with higher VOCs," said Angela Cunningham, category manager for Zinsser brand primers. "Bulls Eye Zero is the product of years of extensive research and testing. Zinsser labs have developed Bulls Eye Zero, an advanced formula that's gentle on the environment, without compromising the performance that's expected from a Zinsser primer." Bulls Eye Zero is ideal for use on all interior and exterior, new and previously painted surfaces such as wood, drywall, cured plaster, vinyl, aluminum, fiberglass or clean galvanized metal. Formulated with high-performance polymers, the durable, fast-drying, low-odor formula blocks common interior and exterior stains such as residual nail head rust, asphalt, creosote, cedar or redwood tannin bleed, lipstick, crayon, oil and grease and offers superior hide, even over dark colors. It flows and levels beautifully to produce a smooth, flat finish. An ideal undercoater for oil or latex enamel, Bulls Eye Zero has great enamel holdout and easily sands to a smooth uniform finish to prevent variation in topcoat gloss. It offers great adhesion, and sticks to tough. surfaces including chalky exterior siding and trim, high-gloss enamels, old varnish, clean galvanized metal or hardboard. It seals porous surfaces like new drywall, new wood, concrete and "builders flat" in just one coat to extend topcoat coverage. Clean up is soap and water easy. Bulls Eye Zero is packaged in a container made from 100% recycled plastic. Both the container and label are 100% recyclable.

"This gang does not want peace with Israel, just like it is not interested in easing the difficult hardships of the Palestinians."
An aide to Mr Arafat said Mr Sharon's comments were an attempt to undermine high-level talks in Washington on Thursday between the United States and Palestinians.
Political commentators said the speech was designed to shore up his popularity after a surge in Palestinian attacks.
An opinion poll published in Israel's biggest newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, yesterday showed that public confidence in Mr Sharon's leadership had dropped by nine percentage points, to 57 per cent, over the past month.
In June President George Bush called for Mr Arafat to be removed as leader.
But the Bush Administration is maintaining contacts with other officials in the Palestinian Authority.
There is a strong belief among the president's advisers that the Palestinian Authority's security administration, which is currently divided into a myriad of forces, must be brought under a single command.
The hope is that such a move would enable the leadership to deploy the Palestinian security forces more effectively against militant groups, such as Hamas, which have continued to wage a campaign of suicide bombings.
The Palestinian Interior Minister, Abdel Razek Yehiyeh, is due to meet the head of the CIA, George Tenet, in Washington today.
Mr Yehiyeh, who is now considered the general boss of the Palestinian security forces, emphasised that an Israeli troop withdrawal from areas of the West Bank and Gaza Strip was a pre-condition for change.
"I am certain we will succeed," he said. "If the Israelis withdraw, it will happen fast, and if not, it will take longer."
The CIA blueprint calls for changes in the structures, tasks, operations and recruitment policies of the Palestinian security services. The proposals follow evidence that some members of the Palestinian security forces turned a blind eye to the activities of Palestinian militant groups, and in some cases took part in their operations.
Some attacks have been carried out by Palestinian police officers who have also been members of groups such as Islamic Jihad, which is dedicated to Israel's destruction.
Mr Arafat has promised to change the Palestinian Authority, including the security administration, but he has rejected calls that he step aside.

XML-RPC support for Textpattern 4.0.3 is here
Sunday 04 June 2006 by
And you can go to the new Download 4.0 XML-RPC page in order to get it and install it on any existing 4.0.3 Textpattern powered site.
If you're an assiduous reader of this blog, you probably remember that I've announced it several months ago. All my comments about the implementation in that post remain valid.
I'd like to thank Priyantha Jayanetti, Zoundry Developer for the help we've received on beta testing this implementation. More thanks for the people who said yes when we call for beta testing – there are still some things I'd like to try, so will ask for your collaboration again.
We've got documentation about how to configure some clients and will be very pleased to include new examples – and screenshots – if you can submit them to us.
Note for subversion users:
txplib_wrapper.php file has been placed under the
/textpattern/lib directory so, it will be checked out by default from there.
Meanwhile, the RPC server files are under
http://svn.textpattern.com/development/4.0-rpc/ on the subversion repository so you can create a new
/rpc/ directory under your subversion install and checkout contents from there.
I've read all the relevant posts on here but… for those of us who don't know, what the hell is all this about?? :)
04 Jun 06
It's about to be able to publish to your Textpattern powered blog using either Desktop clients, like Ecto, MarsEdit or Zoundry or publish from other XML-RPC able clients, like Flickr.
04 Jun 06
The gzip-file ends with bz, which it of course shouldn't. Just so that you know.
Thanks for this!
04 Jun 06
I found two issues using a combination of MarsEdit and MT (as the software type)
# An article is not set to the categories you set it to when it's posted.
# Comments are not properly set to "open" or "close".
Nonetheless, amazing!
04 Jun 06
Thank you ! One of the few missing features of textpattern is now finally working on my setup. Next thing that needs to be fixed (for me) is the RSS / Atom Feed engine – technorati doesn't like 'em for some weird reasons.
Thanks, and keep on rocking !
04 Jun 06
This seems great. Are there any for mac programs that let you access custom fields? Im trying out MarsEdit right now, and I can't seem to find it…
Thanks for the good work.
04 Jun 06
So, the very night that I decide to switch over to textpattern, only to find that there's no XMLRPC support (I know, I should have checked, but my Typo install died a horrible death), I decide to check the blog. Lo and behold, not 30 minutes after I install Textpattern, the add-on gets released!
Excellent work. Stunningly easy to setup, even for someone who didn't even know much about what he was doing.
05 Jun 06
Great news, thanks!
05 Jun 06
So this will be part of 'Crockery' when its released? Regardless, excellent news!
05 Jun 06
Glad to hear RPC is finally supported—this should make for some interesting plugins. Maybe we can start seeing some real Trackbacks as well…
05 Jun 06
Great news. I think we should Thank Kusor and donate a couple of USD/Euros!! so we can buy him a book :).
Find a PAYPAL button on TXP Magazine.
klick here: XMP-RPC is out!
05 Jun 06
Don't forget to check out the possibility to create post with Performancing for Firefox. I have just posted the good news over there: Breaking News: XML-RPC support for Textpattern 4.0.3 is here. Follow the thread and leave comments about your experiences. Performancing.com reaches thousands of interested bloggers!
Don't hesitate to leave recommendations for external tools/editors and how they work with the brand new TXP XML-RPC.
I am very excited about the new XML-RPC and can't wait to test it with my installation. Thanks!!!
05 Jun 06
Since I haven't got the posibility to test it myself on mac, would you like to give me a hand testing those issues?.
Some screenshots of the install and publishing process are also appreciated!
05 Jun 06
No luck so far with Ecto, and all options tried.
While the IXR development version worked on my install, I couldn't get it to work with the download.
Ecto will respond with the following Error:
(Error Message, an unknown error occoured, list of entries could not be retrieved.)
I kept some notes and the Console output, I dropped them through the forum mailer.
(Response is none)

marios buttner
I was able to make it work with both apps (Ecto and MarsEdit). Just make sure that the Access Point is
I am having the same issues as mentioned previously:
No categories for the posts.
Another issue that I noticed with both apps is when I try to upload an image. I always get the following message:
"metaWeblog.newMediaObject" not specified.
Thanks to all the team for you efforts, this is a great start!!!
06 Jun 06
Roberto deOC
Hi Roberto,
metaWeblog.newMediaObject is not supported.
You can read it at Developer docs for RPC. It's not supported, and it will not be until 4.1
About the problems with ecto, I'll try to give it a look with the windows version ASAP. I'd appreciate if you could send me the version of Ecto you're using.
06 Jun 06
Hola Pedro,
I have tried the following applications, both on Mac:
Ecto 2.4.1 (Trial Version)
MarsEdit 1.1.2 (Also Trial Version)
Looking forward for the 4.1 revision!
06 Jun 06
Roberto deOC
Great! Thanks, guys!
Here's how to make it work with BlogJet »
09 Jun 06
It's hard to say, what's wrong, since my install is modified with lot's of plugins, version is 2.4.1, on MAC OS 10.4.6.
It also borked my database, since I 'm not able to publish anymore.
May be something with user privelages, I give up for now, since i don't have really the time to firure out to get it to work.
regards, marios

Hi :)
First of all thanks to providing an XMLRPC interface for TextPattern :) I'm currently writing a small commandline script for blogging and while doing so I found a little bug in the output function of the TXP_RPCServer:
In line 273 of rpc/TXP_RPCServer.php the Content-Type header get's an invalid type.
header("Content-Type: text/xml charset=$enc");
It should be
header("Content-Type: text/xml; charset=$enc");
16 Jun 06
Nice work! It looks very promising. After applying the fix mentioned in comment 20 I kinda got it working with the Blogging bundle in the latest TextMate version. The problem is that this bundle doesn't give me the option to choose between the blogs/sections that I have. It was suggested that something like http://mywebsite.com/rpc/index.php#1 or http://mywebsite.com/rpc/index.php#some-section could do the trick, but alas.
Is there any way to construct a RPC url that connects to one specific section? Thanks!
20 Jun 06
I'm also trying to post from Textmate with the Blogging bundle. "http://mywebsite.com/rpc/index.php#some-section" does work, but the post syntax format always defaults to Markdown instead of Textile.
The Macromate Textpattern Blogging Wiki suggests adding "Format: 1" to the posting template to ensure Textile recognition, though I'm not sure how to do this. Any ideas?

Okay, I figured it out.

Seeks high total return by investing in high-quality, non-dollar-denominated government and corporate debt securities outside the United States.
Goal and Strategy
Total return, primarily through high-quality, unhedged non-dollar bonds.
Distinguishing Characteristics
Designed to be a complementary bond holding that provides investors with a pure play on foreign currencies and bonds. Employs limited currency hedging.
A Note About Risk
International investing involves special risk considerations, including economic and political conditions, inflation rates and currency fluctuations. Generally, as interest rates rise, the value of the securities held in the fund will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates decline. The fund is classified as nondiversified. Because it is nondiversified, it may hold large positions in a small number of securities. To the extent it maintains such positions; a price change in any one of those securities may have a greater impact on the fund's share price than if it were diversified. There is no guarantee that the investment objectives will be met. Dividends and yields represent past performance and there is no guarantee that they will continue to be paid.

Matt Damon and Michael Douglas Go '70s For HBO's Liberace Film 'Behind the Candelabra' (PHOTOS)
Matt Damon and Michael Douglas are playing gay lovers in HBO's Liberace film, Behind the Candelabra, and new photos of the pair dressed in '70s attire make them look like a retro-styled couple.
Sporting a feathered wig, pastel shirt and polyester trousers on the Beverly Hills set, 41-year-old Damon looked a far cry from his days as Jason Bourne; he plays Liberace's lover, Scott Thorson.
And what about Douglas?
The Oscar winner, 67, looked the spitting image of the flamboyant piano player – who became a Las Vegas legend – wearing dark glasses, a yellow suit and a patterned shirt.
During filming, the two re-enacted the early days of Liberace and Thorson's romance, which started when the latter was just 17. The film is based on Thorson's book Behind the Candelabra: My Life With Liberace and takes a look into the couple's five-year relationship, which Thorson says ended due to the musician's sexual promiscuity and drug addiction.
Douglas' wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, 42, recently opened up about catching her husband cross-dressing to get into his new role.
"Michael has been in the bedroom and started putting on my diamonds and things," she told Extra. "I'm like, 'Michael, please take off those pants. Take 'em off baby. Come on, give me back my rocks."
She later admitted she was only joking about his bizarre bedroom antics, saying: "I'm kidding. He wishes he could wear my underwear. If only he could fit in them."

Love all these movies!!!!!!!!Read More
Tremendous collection of Hitchcock's works! All of the discs, except one, were flawless... The one that has what appears to be a deliberate slash on the play side of the DVD is his famous "Psycho"... Although upon seeing this obvious mar I was somewhat distraught... Nonetheless, I decided to see how much of the movie ( and other info with it ) would be playable. To my surprise, it all played with no tracking errors whatsoever! I find it rather ironic that of all the ( more than a dozen ) discs in the package, the one that had been so worrisome had been the one containing the movie that had caused so many gals around the world to worry so much about taking showers. Hmmmm....Read More

Sunday May 7th, 2006 was a happy day for Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott who at that day got married. The in-love couple tied the knot on a private tropical island in Fiji.
Speaking on her marriage Tori said "We didn't want to wait another day to get married", while McDermott added "I've never had as much of a desire to get married and make a woman my wife as I've had with her. The feeling is overwhelming. We're soul mates."
Held in a non-denominational ceremony, the marriage was attended only by the bride and groom, who were both barefoot and wearing white.

Shipment data for the cellular modems used to connect laptops and netbooks to the Internet indicate that more than 35 million of the devices hit the market in 2008. Of that total, the majority were the external USB modems that mobile operators have been pushing for some time. Continued growth has been bolstered as mobile operators have bundled USB modems with netbooks in attractively subsidized price plans.
A further 3.5 million were embedded modems, built into the computers. According to ABI Research principal analyst Philip Solis, "After years of slow growth, the embedded cellular modem market is starting to show signs of life, increasing volumes and exceeding expectations. ABI Research expects that, building on a good showing of 3.5 million units in 2008, shipments of embedded modems will more than double in 2009."
Qualcomm and Ericsson have been targeting the embedded modem market directly, positioning their products very competitively against each other. Operators, especially in Western Europe, are subsidizing USB modems and offering premium data plans that include "free" netbooks or laptops equipped with embedded modems.
Solis warns that despite the positive picture for embedded modems, the global recession will inevitably have an impact on the market. "In light of the prevailing economic conditions and the resulting slowdown in laptop shipments, ABI Research has lowered its overall forecasts for the cellular modem market for 2009. However, shipment rates will continue to grow, albeit at a slower place, because this is an underpenetrated market and because of subsidies and other incentives offered by mobile operators."
"Cellular PC Card Market Data" provides market share and shipment forecast data for cellular modems used to supply cellular connectivity for all types of laptop computing devices. It includes data for cellular modems' four form factors: PCMCIA cards, USB modems, internal modems, and 3G/Wi-Fi routers.
This database is a component of the firm's Cellular PC Modems Research Service, which also includes Research Reports, Research Briefs, ABI Insights, an ABI Vendor Matrix, and analyst inquiry support.
ABI Research provides in-depth analysis and quantitative forecasting of emerging trends in global connectivity. From offices in North America, Europe and Asia, ABI Research's worldwide team of experts advise thousands of decision makers through research and advisory services in seven key practice areas.

Birmingham-Southern's Love Asia student group donates $2,200 for earthquake relief to Birmingham sister-city Hitachi, Japan
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Birmingham-Southern College's Love Asia student organization made a $2,200 donation April 26 to the city of Birmingham for earthquake relief in Birmingham's sister-city of Hitachi, Japan.
A group of students from Love Asia presented a check at City Hall to the Birmingham Sister-Cities Commission. The students sold T-shirts on campus to raise the relief funds. The T-shirts were designed by a Love Asia member and BSC art major, and the costs to manufacture the shirts were sponsored by the Birmingham Mayor's Office.
BSC's Love Asia group has two members from Japan. While neither student's home area was severely affected by the March 2011 earthquakes in Japan, both wanted to create awareness on campus about the tragedy and also to send relief to their home country.
Yuan Gong, a junior accounting major from Chengdu, China, and president of Love Asia, said T-shirts were chosen for the fundraiser because they could be worn around campus and thus increase awareness. The group sold more than 200 T-shirts.
The Love Asia members also presented the commission with hundreds of origami paper cranes made by BSC students and inscribed with their well wishes for Japan and its people.
With more than 50 members, Love Asia is the largest student/faculty organization on campus, with student members from the U.S., China, Japan, Taiwan, France and other diverse locations. The organization's mission is to provide a communication and activities platform for anyone at BSC interested in Asia and to refresh people's perspectives about the region.
Yuan Gong (far left), president of BSC's Love Asia student group, presents a check for $2,200 to support earthquake relief in Birmingham's sister-city of Hitachi, Japan, to Ted Von Cannon (center), vice president of the Birmingham Sister-Cities Commission, and Stanley Erdreich, founding member of the Birmingham Sister-Cities Commission and who established the Hitachi sister-city relationship.

Lionsgate Films have rolled down red carpet in front of AMC Loews Lincoln Center in New York in celebration of the upcoming theatrical release of Tyler Perry's comedy 'Madea Goes to Jail'.
A couple days away from its theatrical release, "Madea Goes to Jail" has been given a red carpet treatment as Lionsgate Films threw a New York premiere on Wednesday, February 18. Held at AMC Loews Lincoln Center in New York, the special screening event was attended by movie stars and musicians among others.
From the cast ensemble, Tyler Perry, Derek Luke, Keshia Knight Pulliam, Aisha Hinds, Sofia Vergara, Vanessa Ferlito and Robin Coleman were all making an appearance on the evening. Joining them were producer Reuben Cannon and those making the cameo in the movie, including TV personality Sherri Shepherd and Judge Greg Mathis.
Aside from the cast and crew of "Madea Goes to Jail", the event also saw other actors, such as Chyna Layne of "Cadillac Records", Dennis L.A. White and Naturi Naughton of "Notorious" and Gabourey Sidibe of "Push: Based on the Novel by Sapphire". R 'n' B singers, Mary J. Blige and Monica, have also come to the premiere.
Inspired by Perry's play of the same name, "Madea Goes to Jail" marks Tyler Perry's return as physically imposing and overbearing, but well-intentioned Mable "Madea" Simmons. In the film, Madea's trouble-making act has finally landed her behind bars. But, it doesn't stop her from protecting Candy, a fellow inmate who becomes the subject of bully by a large woman named Big Sal. It is set to be opened in U.S. theaters on February 20.

Going pear shaped

Pear and avacado salad.
Photo: Marina Oliphant
A sensational avocado salad with some side effects.
Lately it's all gone a little pear shaped for me; avocado pear shape, that is. I was given some delectable, organic avocados from a Shoreham farm, and what began as an innocent experiment has become a bulging success, as my shape can testify.
Flicking through some of my wellbeing books, I find a lot of things you can do with the avocado, ranging from the unusual to the sublime.
Once upon a time, slimmers used to be wary of this luscious fruit but I've always been drawn to its sensuality.
So why go pear shaped? Well, it's hailed as an almost complete food, filled with a little protein, a touch of starch, monosaturated oil, potassium-plus and a great source of vitamin A, some B complex and a touch of C.
It's also easy to digest and contains amazing antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Here, I've created a salad of honeyed beurre bosc pear and avocado. A salad of sensual textures. May you ripen softly.
Pear and avocado salad with honey mustard dressing
2 cups lamb's lettuce
1 ripe beurre bosc pear
1 tbsp honey
1 medium-soft avocado
1/4 cup pecan nuts, roasted
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey
salt and pepper
· Blend all salad dressing ingredients until smooth.
· Cut the pear into long lengths and caramelise with the honey in a pan for three minutes. Remove and let cool. Peel and slice the avocado, adding a squeeze of lemon juice so it doesn't discolour.
· Place lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Arrange the brown pears and avocado slices on top. Top with the pecans and douse with the dressing.

If this is correct, then the substitution would have to happen when the files are submitted to subversion, not after the user has run the configure step. One solution is to write a commit hook that verifies the copyright date is accurate for files as they are committed. This has the disadvantage that the copyrights aren't updated for files that aren't touched. Another solution would be to have a script that runs periodically [say every 24 hours] that checks out the head of a given branch, scans for and updates the copyright, and then commits the result.

By Sudhin Thanawala, Associated Press Writer
HONOLULU A federal judge has ordered the Navy to take additional precautions when conducting sonar exercises off Hawaii that environmentalists say can seriously injure or kill marine mammals.
U.S. District Judge David Ezra said Friday the Navy cannot conduct exercises within 12 nautical miles, or 13.8 miles, of the shoreline, where species that are particularly sensitive to sonar, such as the beaked whale, are found.
Among other requirements, the Navy must look for marine mammals for one hour each day before using sonar, employ three lookouts exclusively to spot the animals during sonar use and stop sonar transmission altogether when one of the mammals is within 500 feet.
It must also gradually increase its sonar power before beginning any exercise to allow animals to leave the area before they can be harmed.
The Navy faces a similar order in California, where a U.S. District Court judge in January issued an injunction that created a 12 nautical-mile no-sonar zone off Southern California.
The judge a few weeks later upheld the injunction, ruling against a waiver signed by President Bush exempting the Navy and its anti-submarine warfare exercises from the decision.
The Navy has appealed the decision.
Although environmentalists had called for additional restrictions on the Navy, Ezra said he had to balance the need to protect the environment with the country's safety. The ruling rejects a call for the Navy to limit sonar use during humpback calving season and either stop the exercises or reduce sonar power in low visibility conditions.
Government officials have argued the anti-submarine warfare exercises that use the sonar are essential to national security.
The Navy plans to conduct up to 12 of the exercises off Hawaii over a two-year period that began January 2007. The next exercise is expected to begin in March.
The Hawaii case was initiated by EarthJustice, which sued the Navy in May on behalf of five groups, including the Ocean Mammal Institute and the Animal Welfare Institute.
Paul Achitoff, an attorney with EarthJustice, said Friday he was happy Ezra realized the "military is not above the law."
Although the judge did not grant all of their demands, he said the training exercises will be safer for marine mammals.
An after-hours call seeking comment from a Navy spokesman wasn't immediately returned.

EDNA Harrison was surprised' to be celebrating her 100th birthday after surviving two world wars and a string of serious illnesses as a child.
Edna Harrison, who lives at Brandwood sheltered housing in Waterfoot was born just a few months before the outbreak of the First World War and contracted diphtheria as a youngster.
Edna said: "If something was going round I'd be the first to get it.
"I was always ailing or suffering from something. You name it and I've had it."
Despite her childhood illnesses, Edna is now in remarkably good health for her age.
She said: "People tell me I don't look 100 years old, and in truth I don't feel a day over 70.
"It's not every day you get to reach 100, thank goodness."
Edna lived in Rawtenstall for many years and married Jack Harrison, who delivered pickles and preserves across East Lancashire.
On Jack's death 25 years ago, Edna concentrated on her hobby of painting watercolours and became an accomplished artist. Many of her works hang on the walls at Brandwood.
Among her birthday party guests was the Mayor of Rossendale, Coun Amanda Robertson, who said: "Mrs Harrison is a remarkable woman who is enjoying a long and colourful life.
"She appears very surprised to have reached 100 but we are all absolutely delighted for her."

Discover Magazine is showing the top astronomy pictures of 2008 - definitely worth checking out. Here's a video of the moon eclipsing the earth:
The sites commentary of the video is worth noting too:
There has never been a generation of humans in all of history who could see such an event. If you ever get a little depressed, or lonely, or think like there's nothing going on that's interesting any more, think on that for a moment or two. A thousand generations of people could only imagine such a thing, but we can actually do it.
Pretty cool.

Communication Prize
ESRL's David Fahey wins Daniel L. Albritton honor
David Fahey (Chemical Sciences Division) was honored with the 2009 Daniel L. Albritton Outstanding Science Communication Award, for his extraordinary work communicating scientific information about the ozone layer to decision makers, educators, and the global public.
In presenting the award, ESRL Director Alexander MacDonald said Fahey's efforts, particularly on the depletion of Earth's protective ozone layer, exemplify those of Albritton, who was Fahey's first NOAA supervisor 30 years ago.
"Dr. Fahey clearly lays out the science, from the big picture down to the details, in a way that reminds me of Dan's ability to convey importance," MacDonald said. "This award is so important, because communication is so important."
Fahey has worked on many scientific problems during his decades at NOAA, from ozone depletion to climate change, and has won many awards for his contributions. In 2007, he shared the Nobel Peace Prize with other authors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change climate science assessment.
Fahey received the Albritton prize for his ongoing work to communicate the importance of ozone layer depletion. Nearly a decade ago, Albritton himself asked Fahey to help with the 2002 Ozone Assessment (a quadrennial state-of-the-science assessment in support of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer). Albritton asked Fahey to write the "Questions and Answers" section, a feature of the assessments pioneered in 1994 and 1998 by ESRL's Susan Solomon (also Chemical Sciences) and the late French scientist Gérard Mégie. Fahey greatly expanded the text and graphics to produce a stand-alone booklet called Twenty Questions and Answers about the Ozone Layer, published in 2002 (and updated in 2006) in many languages and distributed around the world. Fahey is working with Canadian scientist Michaela Hegglin on the Twenty Questions update for the 2010 assessment, currently in preparation.
The document's accessibility to those without scientific expertise, and its impeccable accuracy propelled its global reach, said A.R. Ravishankara, Director of the ESRL's Chemical Sciences Division.
Fahey said he was humbled to receive the award, having witnessed the communications acumen of Albritton himself. He said he also felt like his role was as a "transcriber, not the one source," given the contributions of many colleagues.
When accepting the award, Fahey said that in his research and communications work, he often reminds himself of a quote by Victor Hugo, conveyed to him by Albritton. "'Science has the first word on everything and the last word on nothing,'" Fahey said. "So let's make the first word as clear and complete and accessible as possible, so the people who make the decisions can make the most reasonable ones."

Although the miniseries has the endorsement of 9/11 commissioner Tom Kean?a paid consultant on the project?and claims to base itself on the 9/11 commission report, it has drawn intense criticism for laying much of the blame for the Sept. 11 attacks on the Clinton administration.

- Formal Dining

- Curved Nook
The wrap–around covered front porch is supported by three elegant columns. As you enter the house, a coat closet and powder room are conveniently located in the entryway, to your left, while on your right an open archway leads to the formal dining room. It's a spacious 12' x 14', and two large elegant windows look out to the front of the house. The ceilings in both the entryway and the living room beyond it are set at a dramatic 19'. Incredible views and abundant natural light through lower and upper windows at the end of the room and at the landing to the upper level are the first things you notice as you enter this lovely home. A glazed door provides access to a large half–round deck at the rear of the house, and there's a cozy window seat at the stair landing.
From the living room, sliding glass doors open to a sunken den with a 12' high ceiling, and a fireplace flanked by built–in shelves facing you as you enter. Like the rest of the living spaces in this house, it also has great views to the rear. The kitchen and family room are located on the other side of the house. The kitchen features an extra large island with a four–burner top and a raised breakfast bar. Again the views from here are great as you look to and through the family room and the casual dining nook. The nook is circular, protrudes from the main part of the house, and the outer wall is composed mainly of glass.
Next to the kitchen is a sunken family room that features a beautiful curved fireplace, corner windows, and tall windows flanking a glazed door that leads to the rear deck. Arched openings lead from the kitchen through a butler's pantry to the dining room, and to a mudroom/laundry room that opens to a 3–car garage.
The open stairs and a rail at the top look down into the living room. Bedrooms 2 and 3 on this level share a cleverly designed bath area where each has its own vanity and walk–in closet but share a private tub and toilet. Bedroom 3 has an 8' ceiling that slopes toward the end walls, and is opened up with dormers on both sides of the room. An elegant master suite occupies the remainder of the second floor. The bedroom features a 10' flat ceiling (9' at the walls), large windows in two directions, and a fireplace in one corner, while the bath features a large shower with a unique glass surround, a large tub beneath corner windows, two completely separated sink areas, and a private toilet. An enormous walk–in closet has a conveniently located stacked washer and dryer.
If you choose to build the lower level you can add 1,400 sf of living space. As designed, it includes a large entertainment area with a full bar that looks out and walks out to a patio at the rear of the house and has its own powder room, an elegant guest suite that has not only a full bath and walk–in closet but also a round sitting area that matches the kitchen nook above it, and a spacious home theater.

I don't think that answered my question as to the value of the material compared to the past, or if they changed their material at all. But, good to know i guessOriginally posted by Inactive Userthe fades come out well, the knee bulges can be minimized if you do it properly and although the jeans do get tears, it adds character to your pair.Are the recent APC denim materials still good quality? I've been hearing from someone that they sourced their denim elsewhere now, and the quality isn't as good. Anyone have any ideas on this? I figured they were still sourcing from Kaihara.

Project DescriptionK + B Studio/Bath
Breathing Room
Warm and gentle aren't usually the first words that come to mind when talking about contemporary architecture. But those are exactly the descriptors New York City-based architects Katherine Chia, AIA, and Arjun Desai hope to hear when people see their work. This Manhattan loft (a RADA winner for interiors)—and especially its bathrooms—is a prime example of how the firm tames the contradictions. "Most bathrooms are hermetically sealed," Chia explains, "but we like to create bathroom zones with a breathable skin and bring in organic materials like wood."
All three bathrooms lack exterior walls, so bringing natural light into the interior spaces was especially important. Chia and Desai enclosed the guest and children's baths using vertical wood slats with a prominent grain. "It's a material that still has an architectural presence," Chia says, "but the scale and texture of the wood grain brings additional warmth to the space." In most places, the fixed planks are offset to block sight lines, yet filter light. The slats pivot in a few select spots, however, so the homeowners can manually control light distribution and ventilation.
Glass encloses the outer corner of the master bath, which is tucked up against one of the loft's interior walls, to maximize borrowed light without exposing bathers. The acid-etched glass is layered shingle-style, adding texture to the sleek space. "It's a more gentle surface than if it was one sheet of glass," Chia says of the spec, "and when light hits it, the glass plays with the light and diffuses it into different colors and textures."

By Staff Sgt. Austin M. MayDecember 17, 2007
CAPIRO, Honduras (Army News Service, Dec. 17, 2007) - United States servicemembers from Joint Task Force-Bravo took to the mountains around Soto Cano Air Base Dec. 14 to deliver food and supplies to Hondurans living off the beaten path.
About 60 volunteers joined the three-mile trek, sponsored by the JTF-Bravo Chapel, carrying more than 600 pounds of food on their backs to a village with about 500 residents. The food was purchased with money donated through tithes at the JTF-Bravo Chapel.
The hike was a way for some members of JTF-Bravo to share the holiday spirit with the residents of Honduras
Air Force Chaplain (Capt.) Chad Bellamy, the JTF-Bravo chaplain, said the hike was unique because it was the first time servicemembers were released from duty to attend, a decision made by the JTF-Bravo commander, Army Col. Marcus De Oliveira, who joined the group.
The chaplain said the hikes are a great experience for those looking to get out from "behind the wall" and get involved in the local community, adding they help people acknowledge that we are all part of humanity.
"Differing socio-economic levels should not be a point of division as to whether or not we care for one another," Chaplain Bellamy said.
Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Frank Johnson said he was motivated to join the hike not only by the idea of helping others, but by his family back home.
"I've got a family of my own," he said. "If we were ever in need, I'd like it if someone did the same thing for us."
Army Sgt. Brent Stewart loaded every available pocket of his military-issue rucksack with food and milk, saying "somebody had to carry it." Dripping with sweat and red in the face from carrying the huge load, he smiled and said it was absolutely worth it.
Air Force Tech. Sgt. Diane Strohm, who has attended previous hikes with the chapel, said this trip was special because of the time of year.
"It's an awesome experience to be able to give something to those less fortunate during the holiday season," she explained.
The trip to Capiro was the fourth hike in a series of five to local villages around Soto Cano Air Base. The final hike is scheduled for Jan. 5.

His seven-year term ends in September, which could be during a federal election campaign.
Two former Reserve Bank board members this month called for a bipartisan approach to any potential replacement for Mr Stevens after the Weekend Financial Review reported last month that he was considering his options.
If he were to leave in September, it could leave open the door to an appointment from outside the ranks of the Reserve Bank. Deputy
Mr Stevens said it had been "too early really to think about that much until now". "But I would imagine I would have a conversation with the Treasurer about the way ahead before long," he said. "I'm sure we can manage a sensible way forward."
He expressed hope the issue of the governorship would not become embroiled in next year's federal election, which is due at the end of the year.
"If your suggestion is that it would be better for the appointment or reappointment of a central bank governor not to become an election issue, well, I would agree with that," he said.
Mr Stevens said he suspected the government would be "mindful" of avoiding a political clash over the issue as well.
Former board members
"I would be concerned if it was an outside appointment that wasn't totally bipartisan," Mr McGauchie said.
Mr Stevens said the current seven-year terms were not too short.
"I think seven years is fine, without that comment meaning to signal anything in particular about whether a few more may also be fine," he said.
Sources on both sides of politics have signalled to the Financial Review that they would support Mr Stevens if he chose to extend.

UPLAND - Residents in the 1400 block of Ukiah Way and Victoria Avenue may soon find themselves divided along party lines.
The block running north and south between 14th Street and 15th Street will join citizens living below 14th Street in the district of Rep. Joe Baca, D-San Bernardino, according to a preliminary draft of Congressional, Assembly and state Senate districts released last week by the Citizens Redistricting Commission.
Residents to the north, east and west of the block will be represented by Rep. David Dreier, R-San Dimas, who currently represents all of Upland.
By law, the commission is required to balance congressional districts down to a single person, said Peter Yao, a redistricting commission member from Claremont.
"In other words, one district cannot differ from the next district by more than one single individual," Yao said. "In order to do that then, the map drawer has to basically pick voting blocks that can satisfy that requirement."
The 14-member commission - consists of five Democrats, five Republicans, and four commissioners from neither major party - will release a final map later this week.
Citizens will have 14 days to give their input before the lines become official.
The latest draft has Upland split into two congressional districts along 14th Street.
Citizens living above 14th will be in Dreier's district - except for that one block - while those living below 14th will be represented by Baca, D-San Bernardino.
To determine the districts, the commission reviews census data. A large section is a census place and it is broken up into census blocks.
"When we try to balance districts into equal size we start moving census places around until we get down to a very small number," Yao said. "When we get down to a small number have to go down to census block."
William King, a resident on Victoria Avenue, said he is fine with the division.
"I prefer Mr. Baca to Mr. Dreier," King said. "He's not representing my ideas. I've been tired of Dreier for years."
King said he was aware the city was being divided and believes it should be.
"This half is different from that half. Just look at the houses," he said.
Raul Perez, a resident on Ukiah Way, said he had no idea his block was included in the division.
"That's really, really weird," he said. "I had no idea. Why did they single us out?"
Perez, who was pleased to hear he would be living in a Democratic district, said the division reinforces a stereotype in the city that residents below Foothill Boulevard are poorer than residents living above Foothill.
"It helps that stereotype and the vibe between each side," he said. "They say if you live below Foothill you're not wealthy and if you live above Foothill, you're wealthy. And if you're not wealthy you're typically a Democrat and if you're wealthy you're more Republican."

Alpine migrants favor Douglas
February 7, 2014
More than a third of Alpine County's population moved away over five years during the worst of the Great Recession.
According to figures released by the U.S. Census on Thursday, 561 people moved away from the county while only 102 took their place between 2007 and 2011.
More than half, 223, left California's least populated county for Douglas County.
The U.S. Census flows mapper allows migration comparisons for counties throughout the United States.
The most prosperous Douglas County migrants, those households making $150,000 or more a year, are moving here from Washoe, El Dorado, Mono and Los Angeles counties.
Douglas County lost 103 of its most prosperous residents to Clark County over the five years ending in 2011. Fortunately there were plenty more coming into the county, with 170 people with a household income of $150,000 or more a year coming from Washoe County.
Douglas experienced a slight brain drain during the five years, according to census figures.
The county had a net loss in residents with bachelor's degrees, with 128 leaving for Washoe County, while picking up 21 from Southern California.
The county lost two-dozen residents with graduate or professional degrees to Washoe County, but gained 25 from San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties.
Destinations for people moving out of Douglas County focused on Clark and Washoe counties with more than 500 people.
Within the state, Douglas attracted 282 residents from Lyon County and 71 from Churchill County.
California was both a source and destination for Douglas County transplants, with 106 people moving to El Dorado County and 85 to Santa Clara County.

What makes a song "Unforgettable"? How does a tune remain popular through the years? Why do a few musical notes and a touch of poetry sometimes give us goose bumps?
The 85 singers of the North East Texas Choral Society will answer these questions by sharing some of their favorite romantic selections with audiences during "Unforgettable," their Spring show at the Hopkins County Civic Center on Saturday, May 7 and Sunday, May 8.
The group has been working on the program since January.
"Rehearsals are going so well," said Carol Allen, NETCS' musical director during a recent interview. "A couple of weeks ago every song that had a solo in it, the soloist really stepped it up and nailed it. Then, a week ago, the ensembles really began to happen."
Allen and her singers are breaking new ground with this performance.
"For the first time ever, I have pulled an ensemble out of choral society," she explained. "Eighteen voices will be singing Chuck Jones' arrangement of 'Our Love is Here to Stay.'"
Backing the singers this year are Kurt Bittner on guitar, Ben Scarborough on bass, Caleb Frazier on drums and Jeff Smith on woodwinds, along with Denise Stuart, Kenneth Hanushek and Deanna Spraggins on piano.
"I would take these musicians anywhere," Allen said.
Allen promises several special moments during the performances.
"Jon Paul Dennis is coming back to reprise his cover of 'In the Still of the Night,'" she said. "He owns that song."
Also on the roster are "Blue Moon," Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools" and Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces."
Lisa Pearl will step into the spotlight during the Cline number.
"Our Patsy Cline is almost better than the original," Allen said. "She sings the socks off that song."
The group is also doing a few songs from the first season of TV's hit series "Glee."
"Although the Glee section is one of the hardest things we've ever put together, they're wailing on it now," Allen explained. "It's rhythmically and technically and note-wise just difficult to put it all together. It ain't hymn singing."
In some of the program's more tender moments, Allen features the men and women separately.
"The men are singing 'When I Fall in Love,'" she said. "It's a stand up moment."
The girls have their turn to shine, too.
"The women are singing 'Bridge Over Troubled Water,'" Allen said. "They sing it as only women can sing. It is a rip-your-heart-open sound."
Perhaps the most poignant part of the set list comes during the group's cover of "Somewhere," from "West Side Story."
"We've only done it at one other concert years ago," Allen explained. "The way the arranger has put this together is like a whispered prayer that spins all the way to the end of the song. You don't hear the word 'Amen,' but you feel it."
When asked what it feels like to conduct 85 voices during a number like "Somewhere," Allen became introspective.
"I feel like, as the one who just conducted this, I'm standing two feet off the ground," she explained. "I really do feel transported by the song. When we finished with it last week, I held them and held them and held them [after the song's last note]. When I closed it, I didn't move. When I finally released them, I whispered into the microphone, 'The audience will not breathe until we let them go.'"
During the past 13 years, the North East Texas Choral Society has mastered the art of enchantment. Let them cast their "Unforgettable" spell on you.
"Unforgettable" will begin at 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 7, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 8. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children and are available at all local banks, from NETCS members or at the group's website, www.netchoral.org.

The Computational PDEs Unit is a research and consultancy unit within
the Scientific Computation Research Group,
School of Computing,
University of Leeds,
providing PDE (Partial Differential Equation)
problem solving expertise and software to industry and to academic
research groups. Established in 1996,
it builds on over a decade of research in the area of computational PDEs
within the School, much of this in collaboration with
Shell Global Solutions at Thornton.
A portfolio of CPDE Unit projects can be downloaded
As a result of this work the Unit has an extensive and evolving library of
multi-purpose PDE software tools, driven by real industrial problem solving needs. The emphasis has always been on reliability -- the measure of confidence the user can place in the numerical results. This flexible software library makes possible integrated modelling solutions tailored to end users' needs and delivered with the shortest possible lead times. With dedicated consultancy staff, the Unit constitutes a more focused, responsive and professional environment for these activities than can generally be achieved in a more traditional academic setting.
One of the key application areas is fluid flow, particularly involving chemical reactions, including e.g. atmospheric chemistry, hydraulics, combustion, multiphase flow, lubrication. As well as substantial consultancy work for Shell Global Solutions in a range of application areas, we are involved in a number of interdisciplinary academic research projects.
The University of Leeds is one of the top ten research universities in the UK, and the Unit
has strong links with a number of its Interdisciplinary Research Centres, e.g. the
Keyworth Institute of Manufacturing and Information Systems Engineering,
and the Centre for Computational Fluid Dynamics. As
such the Unit is ideally placed to offer complete solutions to industrial problem solving needs -- from mathematical modelling through to visualisation, design optimisation and virtual reality systems.
The Unit is non-commercial and can therefore offer highly cost-effective consultancy services. All aspects of Research and Development work can be considered, with price being dependent upon the length of the project and its potential for research output. In many cases assistance with funding may be available from UK Research Council or EC programmes.
We are always seeking new partnerships - industrial or
academic. If you would like to discuss any ideas we
would be very pleased to hear from you.

Mitt Romney says President Obama's immigration announcement Friday was the result of electoral politics, not an effort to improve the nation's immigration policies.
"If (Obama) really wanted to make a solution that dealt with these kids or illegal immigration in America, than this is something he would have taken up in his first three and a half years, not in his last few months," Romney said on Face the Nation Sunday morning. The CBS interview was taped Saturday.
Obama announced Friday that his administration will halt deportations of up to 800,000 illegal immigrants who were brought to the country as children.
Romney told Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer that politics was "certainly a big part of the equation" in Obama's announcement.
But prodded by Schieffer, the Republican presidential candidate declined to say he would overturn Obama's order. "This is something Congress has been working on, and I thought we were about to see some proposals brought forward by Sen. Marco Rubio and by Democrat senators, but the president jumped in and said 'I'm going to take this action,'" Romney said. "What I would do, is I'd make sure that by coming into office, I would work with Congress to put in place a long-term solution for the children of those that have come here illegally."
Obama's order, he said, would be "overtaken by events" as the new administration passed legislation to create a long-term immigration solution.
Latinos are a rapidly growing portion of the Amercian electorate and both campaigns have been making a major effort to court Latino voters over the past few months.

1. Re: MiFi 2200 extra batterydave1812 Aug 6, 2009 3:59 PM (in response to fatair)Have you called Verizon yet? I was told by them months ago that they had batteries and they weren't too expensive IIRC.
2. Re: MiFi 2200 extra batteryfatair Aug 6, 2009 5:00 PM (in response to dave1812)
Verizon sells the Novatel battery (1150 mah) for $39.99. Was curious whether someone else sold a higher capacity battey that fits inside the MiFi. Battery life/capacity is the weak link.
Since Novatel makes that MiFi 2200 for Verizon and Sprint, you would think someone would market the extra batteries. Nothing on E-bay or anywhere else. The battery is a LiPo 3.7 v/1150 mah, battery code 40115114.00.
3. Re: MiFi 2200 extra batterydave1812 Aug 6, 2009 7:42 PM (in response to fatair)With a spare battery, you should get between 7 and 8+ hours of usage from your MiFi. Only for long trips do I plug the charger into the inverters that we keep in each vehicle, obviated the issue of battery life. The other time I generally use my MiFi is for 30 minute to 2 hour sessions, so I've no issue with the battery. As tiny as the MiFi is, I never expected it to work all day long, away from a charger.Message Edited by dave1812 on 08-06-2009 01:42 PM
