Welcome to the HPRC Blog. We've got lots of information here, from quick tips to in-depth posts about detailed human performance optimization topics.
HPRC Fitness Arena: Dietary Supplements
Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) has a new infographic about stimulants. Do you want to know what types of dietary supplements commonly contain stimulants? Or how to tell if your supplement contains a stimulant? Or what can happen if you take too much or too many stimulants? Get up to speed and check out the infographic below with information on what you need to know about these dietary supplement ingredients. Use it in conjunction with the OPSS stimulants list to help you with these ingredients often found in dietary supplements.
Another ingredient that has been showing up in dietary supplement products recently is Acadia rigidula. FDA recently declared that it is not acceptable in such products because it falls in the class known as a "new dietary ingredient." A. rigidula is just the latest in a series of ingredients FDA has disallowed for this reason. Others include DMAA, DMBA, BMPEA, and aegeline. Visit the Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) FAQ about Acacia rigidula to learn more, and explore the OPSS FAQs about ingredients to learn about others not permitted in dietary supplement products. especially BMPEA, which has been associated with A. rigidula.
Military training and pregnancy increase women's nutritional needs, specifically for vitamin D, calcium, iron, folate, and iodine. While HPRC always recommends choosing whole foods first, sometimes it can be difficult to get enough of those nutrients through food alone. When nutrient needs are higher than normal or when nutrient-rich foods aren't available, vitamin and mineral supplements can help women to restore nutrient levels in their bodies. Just remember that you don't need supplements unless you have known nutrient deficiencies, so talk to your healthcare provider before taking any supplement. Read more...
Mother's Day is set aside to honor mothers, but for service members who can't celebrate with their moms or who can't take time to celebrate being a mom, it can be hard. But still do your best to take time and recognize the special moms in your life.
- Show your appreciation with a handwritten note or ecard. If you're feeling creative, make a card from scratch—just like you did as a kid—and drop it in the mail.
- Enjoy a physical activity together. Go walking, running, biking, hiking, or do yoga. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, together or apart, can help you both enjoy Mother's Day in the future too.
- Nourish your mom with healthy treats or a homemade meal. And consider inviting a mom who doesn't have family nearby. Good food and conversation can make her day special too.
If you can't be with your mom, then schedule a time to talk or video chat. Let her know how much you cherish your relationship. And ask any questions you might have wondered about, such as:
- How are we alike or different?
- What did you really think when I joined the military (or married someone in the military)?
- Is it easier being a mother now that your kids are grown?
- What do you hope the next few years will bring for our family?
If you're feeling some sadness or anxiety, make a point to manage your stress. "Perfect" moms and/or children could evoke stress, even if you love them dearly. Consider mindfulness or other ways to cope, and make the best of this day.
Happy Mother's Day to all military moms—service members, spouses, and mothers of service members!
If you've searched recently for dietary supplements to enhance your performance, you may have come across products marketed as "ketone supplements." Before you consider taking any of these products, read the new Operation Supplement Safety FAQ about ketone supplements. Learn what ketone supplements are and if they're worth the often-hefty price tag.
If you're curious about other supplements marketed for performance, check out the OPSS Performance FAQs. Can't find the answers you're looking for? Send us a question using our Ask the Expert feature.
The Food and Drug Administration recently announced that methylsynephrine (also known as oxilofrine) "does not meet the statutory definition of a dietary supplement ingredient." So what does this mean? Products containing methylsynephrine are adulterated and can't be marketed legally as dietary supplements. Methylsynephrine is also prohibited in sport because it's a pharmaceutical drug (not currently approved in the U.S) and a stimulant that increases blood pressure and affects heart rate. What's more, some supplements have been found to contain methylsynephrine in amounts equal to or greater than pharmaceutical doses.
The consequences of taking methylsynephrine in large amounts or in combination with other stimulants aren't entirely known, but one product containing this ingredient and other stimulants has been linked to nausea, vomiting, agitation, increased heart rate, chest pain, and cardiac arrest. If you're considering taking a dietary supplement with methylsynephrine or oxilofrine on the label, you might want to think twice. For more from FDA, please see "Methylsynephrine in Dietary Supplements."
Most dietary supplement products are marketed for adults 18 and older and typically carry a warning on the label against use by those under 18. That's because there has been little to no reliable research done on the use of dietary supplements—especially those marketed for bodybuilding and performance enhancement—by people under the age of 18. As such, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) strongly opposes the use of dietary supplements by high school athletes to gain a competitive advantage.
Whether you're a teen athlete, parent, coach, or healthcare provider, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Teens: Achieving your athletic goals means hard work. Taking shortcuts with dietary supplements can be harmful to your health and have a negative effect on your future athletic ambitions. Watch OPSS's video below to learn about one college athlete's experience.
Parents and coaches: Talk often with your athletes about dietary supplements, and encourage them to eat whole foods to fuel their bodies. Download HPRC's "Fueling the adolescent athlete," which has helpful suggestions for hydrating and for eating between workouts.
Healthcare providers: Use the OPSS Guidelines to ask about supplement use as part of taking a comprehensive dietary supplement history. Counsel athletes and their parents about the risks involved with using dietary supplements and other performance-enhancing substances. Promote proper nutrition, training, and rest to improve performance.
Remember, teens (and adults) can get all the nutrients their bodies need by eating a variety of nutrient-rich foods. Teens and adults don't need supplements unless a doctor determines it's needed to treat deficiency of a particular nutrient.
SARMs (selective androgen receptor modulators) are unapproved, experimental drugs sometimes illegally marketed and sold as dietary supplement products. They're also available on the Internet in other forms, but their use in sport is prohibited. Use of SARMs can affect military performance and readiness.
Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) has an FAQ about SARMS, including a link to a list of more than 200 dietary supplements and other commercial products containing SARMs. The list also includes an extensive list of SARM names to help you identify them on product labels.
HPRC's Ask the Expert feature is available if you have particular questions about these ingredients or any other questions about dietary supplements.
In the sea of dietary supplements, can you tell which ones are safe to take and which to avoid? Do you often find yourself confused, wondering what you should be looking for in a product? Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS) has you covered. Here are just some of the tools that OPSS provides to help you choose supplements wisely:
- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). HPRC receives hundreds of questions every year, and we've put answers to the most frequently asked questions in this section of OPSS. You'll find information about banned substances in the military, hot-topic dietary supplement ingredients, and more.
- OPSS Scorecard. The scorecard consists of just 7 questions to show you what to look for on a product label and help you determine if a product is okay or a "no-go."
- OPSS High-Risk Supplement List. With HRSL, you can see if a certain dietary supplement product might pose a health or sport anti-doping risk.
- Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database. NMCD, a partner of HPRC, provides information about the safety and effectiveness of thousands of dietary supplement products and ingredients. And best of all, it's free to all DoD personnel with a ".mil" email address.
The goal of OPSS is to provide you with the most reliable and relevant information about dietary supplements, but if you can't find what you're looking for, send us a question using our Ask the Expert feature.
If you buy dietary supplements at international stores, gas stations, or online, watch out. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns consumers about imported dietary supplements and nonprescription drug products, specifically those marketed as "natural." Just because a product is labeled as "natural" does not necessarily make it safe or effective. In fact, many "natural" products have been found to contain undisclosed chemicals or drugs that can be harmful, and it's possible that some products contain hidden ingredients that could make you pop hot on a drug test. To learn more, please read FDA's "Some Imported Dietary Supplements…" Only have a minute? Watch their 60-second video below.
The only way to know if a product actually contains the ingredients listed on the label (and nothing else) is by testing it in a laboratory. Before you buy a dietary supplement, check the label to see if it's been tested by a third-party organization.

Adventurer's arctic record attempt
A British adventurer has unveiled his latest challenge - to set a world record by sailing across the Atlantic via the Arctic Circle.
Born on the Isle of Wight, Bear Grylls, became the youngest Briton to scale Mount Everest when he climbed the peak in 1998.
The 28-year-old's latest expedition is a voyage across the North Atlantic via the Arctic Circle in an inflatable boat.
The £250,000 vessel is on display at the London Boat Show before it is moved to the Royal Naval base in Portsmouth where sea trials will be conducted.
Mr Grylls, who now lives on a houseboat in London, will lead the team of five adventurers.
The group includes Mick Crosthwaite, Mr Grylls's Everest climbing partner.
The boat was designed and manufactured at a factory in the tiny cathedral city of St David's in Wales, which employs 20 people.
It features an aluminium hull and is powered by a 450hp inboard diesel engine.
The crew will set off from Nova Scotia in July, and return to the UK at the end of September.
The Arctic crossing has only been attempted once before in an inflatable boat in 1997, when an ice-breaker was needed to bring the team out.

RECENTLY I read the Government's policies were causing the disabled extra suffering through lack of care.
Also, it is estimated that another 200,000 children are suffering in poverty through benefits policy.
The "nasty party" is far too complimentary for this Government and the wealthy they represent.
The only people they are happy helping are themselves. They are good at that.

On Aug. 4, the E! channel will use this kind of material for the first of 13 episodes of The Anna Nicole Show, a half-hour reality program about the former Playboy Playmate of the Year and Guess? model, now 34, who, assuming the final appeal of her inheritance case goes her way, will receive $88 million from her late nonagenarian billionaire husband, whom she met while dancing at a strip club. The Phantom Menace didn't have this much back story.
E! is the first of many networks to realize, in an Osbournes-inspired epiphany, that the only thing better than watching the real lives of ordinary people is watching the real lives of celebrities. VH1, which failed in its attempts to sign Tommy Lee to 24-hour surveillance, plans to announce a Liza Minnelli reality series. Later this week MTV aims to unveil a P. Diddy reality show. Cybill Shepherd, Gene Simmons and Courtney Love are looking to fill the camera void in their lives. Kato Kaelin taped three episodes of himself by himself, looking to sell his show, House Guest. In an affront to everything Robin Leach ever stood for, America has chosen to bask in the soothing truth that the lives of the rich and famous aren't all that much different from their own.
Smith's reality is probably less like that of a celebrity than that of most of her likely competitors, even Kaelin. Like Elvis' at the end, her life is mostly bed and pickles and bad TV. So the E! executives juice the show, prodding Smith into activities she might not otherwise pursue, like a workout with a personal trainer. "We've helped set her up to get her going on things. She wants to get a driver's license, get in better shape, find a new place to live," says E! exec Mark Sonnenberg. He's hoping the appeal of the show lies in the fact that you can't quite tell if Smith is kidding or just dumb. Jeff Shore, the show's executive producer, says he can't figure out whether it was a joke when she told him she's "5 foot 12." This may say more about the people who work at E! than about Smith.
The other strategy E! uses is pumping Smith full of Red Bull. Smith, who never has all that much energy to begin with, is cranky after driving an hour to an E!-suggested go-cart track with the other paid cast members of the show: her ever present (and unfortunately named) attorney, Howard Stern; her assistant, Kim Walther, who sports a tattoo of her boss; and Smith's son Daniel, 16, a sensitive kid who happens to hate being videotaped. Sensing the group's lack of energy, an E! exec appears from nowhere proffering Smith her seventh Red Bull of the day. The channel has a deal with Red Bull to install a refrigerator full of the supercaffeinated soft drinks in her bedroom. Not even Colonel Tom Parker thought of that.
Along with the Red Bulls, Smith's five-bedroom, 4,700-sq.-ft. rented house in the San Fernando Valley is stocked with a Costco's worth of Kraft Easy Mac, pizza-flavored Pringles, Handi-Snacks and Cheetos. In addition to frying the occasional peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich, Smith has been caught on camera putting Cheez Whiz on a pickle. At the go-cart place, Smith, on the second day of her diet, attempts to eat a piece of celery, which she tries to peel. If you catch only one episode of her show, I'm guessing it should be the one in which the E!-recommended nutritionist is scheduled to come by.
Smith's weight increased during her inheritance case; she became addicted to painkillers and had a bout of depression. She hasn't gone out much and says she has not had sex in more than two years. "It's pathetic. I feel like a virgin again. I feel sorry for the next guy I attack. He's going to be dead." She promises to go hunting for phone numbers at bars very soon. "But I'll never know true love. I'll never know if it will be for me or my fame or my money. That's the saddest thing about being me," she says. "Everybody I know has made money from me and thrown me away," she says.
"Except your poor lawyer who had his gas turned off," yells Stern. This guy is good.
Though she's dieting, her olive-eating habits have reached a level at which I cannot possibly compete, so, to get her to stop, I acquiesce to Smith's demand to put makeup on me. Despite the fact that she weighs more than 200 lbs., Smith is still beautiful and sexy enough to make men do things like this. At least that is the story I'm sticking to.
Throughout the makeup humiliation, Stern, whose ever presence is starting to make me worry about the state of his client's appeal case, takes pictures of me with a disposable camera. At 1:15 a.m., after half an hour of washing my face and returning to bed to watch the beginning of The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom, I tell Smith I have to leave. When she gets out of bed to hug me goodbye, I palm the disposable camera with the incriminating pictures and slip it into my pocket. The truth is, no matter what anybody claims about reality shows, there is only so much somebody will let other people see.

Hillary Clinton's economic adviser can't answer the question – but his boss couldn't answer it either.
In an interview on January 5, Chris Matthews asked Hillary Clinton, "What is the difference between a socialist and a Democrat?" Clinton finally managed to say, "I am not one (socialist)… I am a Progressive Democrat who likes to get things done." She never answered the question, evading it instead.
In an interview with MSNBC's Peter Alexander this week, Gene Sperling, economic adviser to Clinton, had a chance to answer the question himself – he couldn't do it either, evading the question just as Clinton had done, and instead inserting what Clinton stood for as a "progressive Democrat."
"Look, I'm not here to do general definitions but I believe that the kind of progressive Democrat that she is, is one that understands that we are, of course, a free market economy. That we, of course, rely on job creation, small business … entrepreneurship," Sperling said.

Alex provides the data, if data was still needed, about the IMF and the Greeks. All I am minded to remark is that whilst billions of euros have been withdrawn from Greece in the first half of the year by private investors, escape from the country's miseries isn't so easy for the workers who might wish to emigrate out of them. Capital versus labour – it's always the same story: freedom of movement for the former (with all the traumatic implications for ordinary people's economies which such freedoms lead to); all kinds of practical barriers, including media prejudice in host countries, for the latter.
This is perhaps one excellent reason why Greeks should leave the euro but stay in the European Union. Get that competitive edge back which Europe's denied varying velocities lost – but hang on any which way you can to the right to work wherever you want. Beat the capitalist investors at their own game perhaps?
Meanwhile, here's another piece of evidence about how the world we live in is unfair: in this case, how the fall in trades union membership mirrors exactly the rise in wealth inequality (graph here). Our intuition might have told us that trades unions battling against amorphous and various employer organisations would help, in an imperfect civilisation, to create less unfair societies – but this post goes much further than massage our prejudices. This post confirms a reality with immediately understandable data.
Finally, an image I published not long ago from a Facebook page I'm subscribed to called "Connect The Dots USA". It clearly indicates how difficult providing social and welfare services will become in the future, especially as the real levels of tax American corporations pay are so far below the nominal 35 percent. Remember, these are the same bodies which use public roads, pollute public land, sell junk food to schoolchildren and sign overblown contracts for the provision of public health services – as well as make money out of publicly funded armaments and IT projects (so many of which curiously tend to run dramatically over budget).
All examples, in fact, of the ways they have chosen to take advantage of federal and state infrastructures which they no longer see the need to contribute to.
And I am sure – as well as fear – that the situation in the UK is becoming evermore analogous.
Of course, it goes without saying that those of us on the left have often been accused – perhaps accurately – of class envy. This argument would have us believe that we don't act out of a pragmatic understanding and acceptance of the world as it is. Rather, we refuse to accept that life is unfair and that such injustices are a given for those who have the good or bad fortune to be born into this universe.
After fifty years on this planet – yes, I share my birthday with that literary-fest that is Bloomsday! – I can't argue with the partial truth of that assertion. But where I do disagree with the Darwinian capitalists is in their implicit understanding that life – and the world in general – is only as unfair as it must be.
Today's three examples give those of us who believe in social, economic and cultural justice the right to sustain the position that this world is an unnecessarily unfair world – and from that moment onwards, fight to eliminate any unfairness which escapes the necessary injustices of an often incomprehensible universe.
If those of us on the left are looking for a pragmatic way of channelling the manifest – and long-predicted collapse – of capitalism, we could do far worse than to argue that in that point which lies between an unfair and an unnecessarily unfair existence we can usefully pursue a popular and realistic revolution.
A popular and realistic revolution we could use to revalidate the latterday left.

It is possible to use 2 sites in one scraper?
I wan't to use a main site to search for the movies (and get it's details) but if a movie isn't found there, it should be searched in imdb and get the details in imdb.

sure, that could be pulled off. but not without a lof of c&p currently (i.e. you cannot link to the imdb scraper, you will have to have all expressions inside your). if that is fine; do the movie search in createsearchurl. in getsearchresults, if none is found, chain to a new function that handles the imdb search. in addition you would need something in getdetails to distinguish between the two (something like a regexp that moves stuff conditionally to buffer 5, then the imdb grabbing expressions take buffer 5 as input)

In what is being hailed by general aviation as a landmark decision, the FAA has ruled that the ban on Stage 2 aircraft at Naples Municipal Airport (APF), Fla., is unlawful. But the Naples Airport Authority (NAA), which operates the airfield, plans to file an appeal in federal court.
Under the final order issued by the FAA on August 25, the NAA will be ineligible for federal Aviation Improvement Program funding until it rescinds the ban. Since March 2002, only certain Stage 2 aircraft that have been granted temporary waivers issued by the NAA are authorized to use the airport.
FAA associate administrator for airports Woodie Woodward upheld the earlier determinations by an FAA hearing officer and the FAA's director of airport safety and standards that the ban is unlawful. Her decision exhausts the administrative process, and any further review would be limited to a U.S. Court of Appeals. The NAA has until October 24 to file a court appeal.
NBAA commended the FAA for rejecting the prohibition against Stage 2 aircraft. "This decision is significant for the entire aviation community, not just business aviation," said NBAA president Shelley Longmuir. "By reaffirming the purposes underlying relevant legislation, and by recognizing that business aviation is a good neighbor, the decision goes a long way to ensuring the sanctity of the National Airspace System."
The battle over noise restrictions at APF goes back to at least 2000, when the city of Naples conducted noise studies as part of an FAR Part 161 process under the Airport Noise and Capacity Act. But the FAA and industry groups maintained that the city's studies were flawed, based in part on its using 60 decibels as the noise threshold when the FAA's national standard was 65 decibels.
Although the proposed Stage 2 ban was to have taken effect on Jan. 1, 2001, at the behest of the FAA the NAA postponed enforcement until at least March last year. In the meantime, NBAA, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) and other aviation interests filed a lawsuit against the prohibition. A federal judge dismissed that case in late 2001 and the NAA began enforcing the ban the following spring.
NAA executive director Ted Soliday told AIN early last month that the airport authority expected to lose its case with the FAA and already has decided to take further court action. "I don't anticipate them changing their minds," he said. "They have already given me direction adequate for me to proceed to appeal."
Soliday said the authority made a decision that affected less than 1 percent of the operations on the airport, and a cost-benefit analysis had "in every regard" a more than 90-percent benefit. "We did everything in accordance with the law," he argued. "Now part of it is our integrity with our community."
According to Soliday, even the local aviation groups in the community supported the decision. He said one of the two Stage 2 operators based at the airport backed the move from the beginning, purchasing a Gulfstream IV and having his GIII retrofitted to Stage 3 standards. The second operator sued the NAA and lost.
"We've already lost $3.5 million on legal fees and noise studies for what we thought would satisfy the laws," said Soliday, who added he is a certified air traffic controller and pilot who has been in aviation for 37 years. "Does it make any sense to turn back now?"
Contrary to what some would believe, the NAA's executive director said the airport supports aviation to the tune of $30 million in private development of facilities on the airport in the past half-dozen years, as well as a current valuation of another $30 million. "Our position is not one that we are against aviation," said Soliday. "We are anything but against aviation. In fact, we believe that airports that refuse to recognize the effects that they have on their neighborhoods are the people who are doing aviation harm."
The crux of the dispute seems to be that the NAA relied on a lower decibel noise contour than the FAA allows. The authority took the position that it could ban the aircraft if residences might be affected within the 60-decibel level, even though the FAA regards the 65-decibel contour as the outer limit of noncompatible uses.
Woodward held that "if an airport could designate any noncompatibility threshold based simply on local government determinations…it could designate noncompatibility thresholds of 60, 55 or lower, effectively closing airports and severely crippling the nation's air-transport system."
But Soliday suggested that airport operators who fail to make "tough decisions" like Naples are not doing aviation any good. "We've got to be able to coexist with our community," he said, "and we are doing that."
Others see it differently. As the first test of the Part 161 process, the case is considered important for the entire aviation community. The FAA's initial determination that the ban was unlawful was supported in joint briefs filed by NBAA and GAMA. Supporting briefs were also filed by AOPA, the Air Transport Association and the Regional Airline Association.
"We look forward to working with the [NAA] and all other airports in continuing to minimize aircraft noise," said NBAA's Longmuir. "The effect of this decision is to make it clear to airport operators that, for their part, they need to comply with federal law."

If this would add any overhead to the search at all, it would be a very bad
idea. Frames have reached an "equilibrium" point of use much lower than
when they started. I have frames on one of my sites (not surprisingly, the
oldest one), and it's useful there, but I don't care that framesets are not
preserved in searches. Generally, one frame is navigational, while the
other is content which contains independent navigational elements. So, I
think the cases in which this would be crucial are limited.
To me phrase searching, XML support and more complete metadata support are
more important, but that's my opinion.
By the way, I just (finally) read the influential essay on why open source
works so well, "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" by Eric S. Raymond
Interesting reading.

Since really the beginning of the Australian web design and web development industry, we've been building websites and applications for clients. It's been a long journey, though we can comfortably lay claim to a very significant expertise in that we continue to invest in our clients and their online businesses.
It's important to our clients to understand how we're different and why our clients choose Wiliam.
We're passionate about what we do. We want to constantly improve. We want to continually surprise and delight our clients. We want to achieve significant success for them. We need to understand their businesses and what works for them.
We don't cut corners. We don't outsource our work. We don't pretend to be something we're not.
If Philip can have one L or two, why can't Wiliam?
The truth about our name?
We're named after a small, Egyptian hippopotamus housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; he is their mascot and they call him William.
When we designed our first logo, we could only fit six letters:
So we dropped an L.
Robert heads Wiliam's Digital Strategy and Consulting team.
Robert and his team work with our clients on the development and execution of their digital and eCommerce strategies. The team works across a range of clients and industries, from having launched the National Broadband Network online, helping build GetUp into Australia's largest political organisation and growing three of Wiliam's clients into top ten Australian eCommerce businesses.
Robert can boast no degrees or certificates other than he remembers an Internet before browsers and thus plan's Wiliam's infamous 'Internet Quizzes' around questions nobody understands or cares about.
LIKEtoKNOW.it connects Instagram fans to the eCommerce websites selling the gear they want to buy.
Queron head's Wiliam's Analytics, Data and User Experience

About the Compacts
"I believe that Government has a key role to play in ensuring more effective supply chain engagement, and by signalling demand for low carbon innovation. This important initiative will help to drive investment in new and better goods and services."
The Rt Hon Vince Cable MP, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills
Down To Zero Launch
The Corporate Leaders Group co-hosted with the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills a very successful launch of three new Joint Public–Private Low Carbon Procurement Compacts at the Royal Society.
The event launched the low carbon procurement Compacts in three different areas: transport, catering and biomethane. Each has major potential to drive real change in the market, with an increase in affordable and cutting-edge low to zero carbon solutions at a scale to drive down emissions in these areas.
We were delighted to have Lord Sainsbury (Chancellor, University of Cambridge) chair a panel discussion with Rt Hon Vince Cable MP (Secretary of State, BIS), Neil Carson (CEO, Johnson Matthey), Peter Simpson (CEO, Anglian Water Services) and Martin Chown (Executive Director of Government Procurement Services). The launch was attended by over 100 people from key government departments, leading private sector companies, public bodies, potential suppliers, and the media.
Photos of the event can be found on BIS's flickr feed.
The UK Government and The Prince of Wales's Corporate Leaders Group (CLG) are both committed to reducing carbon emissions and supporting a rapid transition to a low carbon economy, but this requires a dramatic increase in the supply of affordable low carbon goods and services.
These goods and services are not currently reaching the market at the pace, in the quantities and at the price needed, leaving customers with few options. However, a visible, credible and committed customer demand could give suppliers a key incentive to invest in developing the low carbon products of the future.
Procurement Compacts
The CLG and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) have therefore joined forces to address this problem by bringing together major public and private sector customers in Procurement Compacts for new, 'low to zero carbon' goods and services.
These Compacts demonstrate to potential suppliers that there is a substantial and organised market demand for cost-effective, low carbon transport and catering, and for heat and power from renewable biomethane.
By sending a clear direction of travel message to suppliers and by demonstrating real demand, this joint public–private sector initiative aims to create market opportunities for innovating companies and help to generate growth and jobs in the low carbon economy.

An audio recording of former Rutgers assistant Eric Murdock obtained by The Chronicle of Higher Education shows Murdock fuming over the fact his contract was not renewed by the school last June—and providing a glimpse into why Murdock thinks that happened.
Murdock was a central player in Mike Rice's physical and verbal abuse of players coming to light, as he provided tapes to ESPN about the abuse, The Star-Ledger reported. The video led to Rice being fired by the school this past April after the school had only decided to fine and suspend him when the allegations came to light in December.
In Murdock's recorded remarks, which were primarily directed at Rutgers associate head coach David Cox, Murdock called Rice a slave driver. The most interesting comments come after the 6:00 mark. WARNING: The recording includes multiple profanities.
"Treating (expletive) like slaves, just cracking the whip? That's all you're doing is cracking the whip," Murdock fumed on the recording. "And when the (expletive) can't deliver, you cut off his toe like (expletive) Kunta Kinte."
Murdock has a wrongful termination lawsuit that alleges he was fired for being a whistleblower, but he does not make a direct correlation to that on the tape. Rather, he said his contract was not renewed because he left a Rice-led basketball camp to speak at one his son was attending. That's what the school maintains following its investigation of the incident, The Chronicle notes.
Meanwhile, Murdock's $950,000 lawsuit is still ongoing. The New York Times reported earlier this year that the FBI was investigating Murdock for extortion, but the FBI would neither confirm nor deny that, according to the Chronicle.

Arkansas downs Mississippi State 67-53
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) C'eira Ricketts scored 18 points and Lyndsay Harris added 17 to help lead the Arkansas women's basketball team to a 67-53 victory over Mississippi State.
Ricketts added six rebounds and seven assists for the Razorbacks (20-6, 9-5 Southeastern Conference) on Sunday. Ashley Daniels had 10 points and 16 rebounds.
Arkansas scored the first nine points of the game, but the Bulldogs battled back and tied the game at 19 with four minutes left in the half.
After intermission, Harris and Ricketts each hit 3-pointers to stretch the Razorbacks' lead, which widened to as much as 15 before the final buzzer.
Arkansas shot 41 percent for the game to 35.6 percent for Mississippi State.
Jerica James scored 12 points and grabbed three rebounds for the Bulldogs (14-13, 4-10).

By Wendy Koch, USA TODAY
The 13-year-old boy had no previous run-ins with the law, police said. But 20 minutes before class Monday, he stood in the hall of Memorial Middle School in Joplin, Mo., wearing a green trench coat and a mask fashioned from a T-shirt, and aiming an assault rifle at the principal and other students, they said.
Assistant Superintendent Steve Doerr tried to calm the seventh-grader, who kept saying: "Get away. Don't make me do this," according to Joplin police Lt. Geoff Jones. The boy fired into the ceiling, hitting a pipe and causing a burst of water. No one was hurt.
ON DEADLINE: Local coverage and your comments
The rifle jammed, and the boy fled the school. Principal Steve Gibreth followed and called police on his walkie-talkie. Within a block, Jones said, police found the boy, crouched with the gun and a duffel bag. Jones said the bag contained wire cutters, unidentified chemicals, a pellet gun, hand-drawn diagrams of the school and notes about bombs and napalm. The teen, whose name has not been released, was in police custody in a juvenile facility.
"We have no motive," Jones said.
Police searched the boy's home and bomb-sniffing dogs searched the school, which was evacuated, but they found nothing, Jones said.
When the shot was fired, he said, quite a few students were already at school, and others were arriving. Some told police the boy aimed the gun at them, but Jones said it is unclear whether any were targets.
The incident followed deadly shootings in schools in three other states since Sept. 27, including an attack in Pennsylvania on Oct. 2 that left five Amish girls dead.
President Bush convenes a conference on school safety today.
The shootings, as well as a spate of threats that have forced schools in at least eight states to lock down or evacuate in the past two weeks, have contributed to parental jitters over school safety.
In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll conducted over the weekend, 35% of parents with school-age children said they fear for their kids' safety when they're at school. That percentage was the highest since March 11, 2001, when 45% of parents voiced such concern after a shooting at a suburban San Diego high school killed two students and injured 13 others.
Although one-third of parents said they're anxious, most said their children are not: 88% said their kids expressed no worry about safety at school.
The telephone poll of 1,007 adults nationwide, conducted Friday through Sunday, has a margin of error of +/—3 percentage points.
Monday's incident in Joplin, a city of 49,000 in southwestern Missouri, occurred only 10 miles from Riverton, Kan., where five students were arrested April 20 — the seventh anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado — on suspicion of plotting an armed attack on their high school. Two of the teens pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of conspiracy to riot, and the other three have pleaded innocent.

New regulations to ensure energy generated from forests, crops and waste is sustainable provoked a fresh row on Thursday over biomass power, with the government plans failing to reassure the industry of future financial support.
Green campaigners said the new rules would allow the use of destructive forms of biomass, which have been linked to deforestation in other countries.
The biomass industry denied this, but will still face a major task to attract investment into the sector, because the government has put strict limits on how biomass plants will be supported under its new regime for the electricity market. Under the current proposals, biomass will be at a disadvantage relative to other forms of generation, because some forms of new biomass power plants will be effectively excluded from the new long-term "contracts for difference" that are the basis of the new system.
That may rattle investors. The travails of the industry were highlighted in July with the shelving of plans to turn the Tilbury power station, in Essex, into a biomass-burning plant.
Greg Barker, minister for energy and climate change, said biomass – now an industry worth £1bn in the UK and supporting 3,000 jobs – had "an important role" in UK energy generation. "The new criteria will provide the necessary investor certainty and ensure that the biomass is delivered in a transparent and sustainable way."
The new sustainability rules cover issues such as harvesting rates, to ensure trees can regrow, as well as ensuring wood comes from forests where the biodiversity is not harmed by the harvesting, and where the rights of indigenous people are respected. The government promised there would be no changes to the criteria before 2027, and that the operators of plants who complied with the guidelines would continue to receive subsidies under the Renewable Obligation.
Dr Nina Skorupska, chief executive of the Renewable Energy Association, which represents the industry, said: "These sustainability criteria ensure that the UK can reap the benefits of biomass, safe in the knowledge that it is making a real dent in our carbon emissions and that ecologically sensitive land is being protected."
Tensions between green groups and the biomass industry have been running high for months, as environmental groups have published studies and claims that some forms of biomass, such as imported wood, do not reduce carbon dioxide emissions because they encourage the chopping down of large swaths of forest. Biomass proponents have responded that some of the scientific research has been misinterpreted, and unrealistic worst case scenarios wrongly presented as the norm. At least one academic involved with the research has contested the green groups' claims.
However, the government's new guidelines, far from defusing the row, have inflamed it further. Dr Doug Parr, chief scientist at Greenpeace UK, said: "The loopholes in these sustainability standards are big enough to drive a logging truck through. The government has ignored the latest scientific research and produced standards that will take a potentially sustainable industry and transform it into one more way to greenwash environmental destruction. The climate isn't going to fall for creative accounting and neither should the public."
The government also failed to satisfy the biomass industry with Thursday's announcement. Under electricity market reform, new biomass-burning power stations will only qualify for the new contracts if the heat they produce is captured and reused, a process known as combined heat and power (CHP).
But some biomass companies are worried because CHP technology is an extra cost at the outset, and because it is only suitable where there are buildings – either dwellings, industrial estates or large public buildings – near enough for the heat to be piped from the plant. Given the UK's planning laws, it may be hard to get permission for a site, which could put some potential projects in a "catch-22" situation. CHP will also only be economically viable if nearby property owners are prepared to pay for the heat.
Skorupska said biomass was a good option because it could reduce carbon, but is not intermittent like other renewables such as wind. But she warned that the CHP stipulation risked harming investment. "CHP is an excellent use of the resource, but it is not feasible in sites where there is no user for the heatload. The government will have serious regrets down the line if it excludes the construction of dedicated biomass power plants from the new regime."

After reading "Top Mormon church posts dominated by registered Republicans" (Tribune, Dec. 5), I wondered to what party the publisher, editor and department chiefs of The Salt Lake Tribune belong? I'd bet Trib staffers are Democrats in telling disproportion to Utah's population.
That's nothing to be ashamed of, but if I followed columnist Peg McEntee's thinking in "Top Mormon leaders should drop political party labels" (Tribune, Dec. 6), a high rate of Tribune registered Democrats could call into question the objectivity of its political news coverage.
Over decades of attending Latter-day Saint church meetings, I have never heard any leader from church president to local stake presidents, bishops and Relief Society presidents ever make a single partisan remark. My political experience at church has been, officially and unofficially, completely nonpartisan.
Back to The Trib, leaders of Utah's predominant newspaper should disclose their official political affiliations. But like church leaders who carry out high-profile jobs in the limelight, I don't care how you vote as long as it doesn't affect your obligation to the truth. For you, that includes nonpartisan news reporting and making sure any nonobjective coverage is labeled opinion.

Randall Hoven at The American Thinker has a thought or two on that question.
"Everyone knows" there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) in Iraq when Bush decided to invade in 2003. If there were any doubts about that, surely they were laid to rest by the Duelfer Report, the official findings of the Iraq Survey Group (ISG) headed by Charles Duelfer, Special Advisor to the Director of Central Intelligence.
Take your pick of excerpts from Duelfer's report.
• On nuclear weapons: "Saddam Husayn [sic] ended the nuclear program in 1991 following the Gulf war. ISG found no evidence to suggest concerted efforts to restart the program."
• On chemical weapons: "ISG judges that Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991."
• On biological weapons (BW): "ISG found no direct evidence that Iraq, after 1996, had plans for a new BW program or was conducting BW-specific work for military purposes."
Slam dunk, right? Bush lied.
Not so fast. First, the ISG did find WMD. In fact, it found at least 53 of them.
"Beginning in May 2004, ISG recovered a series of chemical weapons from Coalition military units and other sources. A total of 53 munitions have been recovered."
Why haven't you heard that? Possibly because that information was buried on page 97 of Annex F of Volume 3 of the Duelfer Report.
Even if the number of WMD found were short of the "large stockpiles" threshold demanded by invasion critics, what about the ability to produce and use WMD in a short amount of time? Here, the Duelfer Report is explicit.
• "[Saddam Hussein] wanted to end sanctions while preserving the capability to reconstitute his weapons of mass destruction (WMD) when sanctions were lifted."
• "we have clear evidence of his intent to resume WMD production as soon as sanctions were lifted"
• "Saddam did express his intent to retain the intellectual capital developed during the Iraqi Nuclear Program."
• "Iraq took steps to conceal key elements of its program and to preserve what it could of the professional capabilities of its nuclear scientific community."
• "ISG found a limited number of post-1995 activities that would have aided the reconstitution of the nuclear weapons program once sanctions were lifted."
• "Saddam never abandoned his intentions to resume a CW effort when sanctions were lifted and conditions were judged favorable."
It goes on like that – you'll have to read it all, as it is very detailed and extensive. Quotes David Kay, interestingly, as well. The piece ends with some quotes from folks on the left who believed the WMD existed. You know, like President Clinton, VP Gore and Ted Kennedy.

How very Byzantine! The blinding of rivals has several

Two versions? Do they differ in significant detail?
Is there any clue to which is more faithful to the

Baxter Wolf's (revised edition) translations but
don't know yet whether he compares two versions of
Alfonso III's cronica.

How would we render this title/office today?

I need a geography lesson here. Did "Bardulia" comprise
those two regions? Others as well? Where is/was Alava?

Does "Vascones" equate with "Basques?" "Biscay?"
Are they different? Mentions of pre-Visigoth
indigenes in northern Iberia are rare
(to me). Are their any good discussions of how they
figured in the stabilizaton of the Visigothic occupation?

TAF's AT of Teresa Queen of Portugal gives Alfonso II's
mother as "Munnia Froilaz of Cantabria" and, once his
numbers are adjusted, appears to make her a daughter
of Froila Perez, duke, son of our very important Pedro.
Is this the family to which you refer? How does this
mesh with "'vascona:' from the old Castilla or Alava

Man, oh man is Microsoft getting aggressive with its campaign to upgrade people to Windows 10. If you want to banish these system prompts for all time, I've got the answer for you, a little program called GWX Control Panel.

Personally, I think upgrading to Windows 10 is a great idea. The operating system is fantastic and far more natural to navigate on a PC than Windows 8. It's also more advanced than Windows 7 in many respects.

But a lot of people find Microsoft's approach to this upgrade push very offensive. I've heard reports from people saying their PCs were automatically upgraded to Windows 10 without their authorization. I've also seen examples of Microsoft's upgrade notification that offers no way to dismiss it or turn it off. That effectively amounts to nagging someone until they finally give in. Not exactly the image Microsoft should be going for.

If you are repulsed by Microsoft's tactics and refuse to upgrade to Windows 10 on principle or just because your system is working fine here's how to do that.

The first thing you need to do is download the GWX Control Panel installer from UltimateOutsider.com. The program should start automatically after installation. If not you'll find it on the All Apps screen in Windows 8 and under All Programs in the Windows 7 Start menu.

Once it's up and running, you'll see a set of questions with yes/no answers. You'll want to pay attention to these questions as they will help you understand if the Windows 10 upgrade app is running, if upgrades are allowed, and whether any Windows 10 download files are present.

After surveying your status, you simply have to click a few buttons at the bottom of the window to prevent your upgrade. The first thing you should do is the click the button labeled Click to Disable 'Get Windows 10' App. Once that's done, you should no longer see the pops-up constantly nagging you to install Windows 10.

That's not enough, however. All we've done so far is stop the visual prompts to upgrade to Windows 10, but there's a lot more going on behind the scenes.

Next, we're going to plug up any holes in your system settings that Microsoft can use to send Windows 10 upgrades to your PC. That's done simply by selecting Click to Prevent Windows 10 Upgrades. Ultimate Outsider also says this feature "restores your Windows Update control panel to its normal behavior" if Windows 10 ads or installers try to hijack it.

Finally, we want to get rid of any Windows 10 folders on your PC. Microsoft often downloads Windows installation files automatically to your PC. That way when it comes time to install the upgrade, the process can go much faster. In this case, however, we don't care about how well an installation would go because we don't want an installation at all. To get rid of these files choose Click to Delete Windows 10 Download Folders....

For most people that should be enough to keep Windows 10 at bay. If you really want to be extra careful you can also choose Click to Enable Monitor Mode. When this feature is active GWX Control Panel runs in the background on your PC and looks for any system changes related to the new operating system. If it finds something it will alert you to the fact that new Windows 10 settings or files are present.

Another setting that Ultimate Outsider recommends is the option Click to Disable Non-critical Windows 10 Settings. This may prevent some annoying behavior related to Windows 10 updates, but like monitor mode it's not a necessity.

If you're worried about GWX Control Panel interfering with your security updates that shouldn't be a problem. The program is designed so that it will not prohibit regular updates and fixes.

Although it is very effective, GWX Control Panel won't update automatically like most Windows desktop programs you use. Instead, you need to update by downloading the installer from the Ultimate Outsider site. It's probably not necessary that often, but if the Windows 10 update prompts ever return GWX may need an update to deal with Microsoft's latest tactics.

ps. the crux at mid point can be avoided by stepping far right, it lowers the grade to 5.7, but the route is still very good and sustained up high.

Anyway I am interested. Shoot me an email with particulars.

Estimation of the Appropriate Length Scale to Use with the Quench Level Approximation for Obtaining Chemical Abundances
Michael D. Smith (NRC, NASA/GSFC)
The ``quench level'' approximation for estimating the observed abundance of chemically reacting species in the presence of convective dynamics states that the chemical reaction is quenched at the level where the time scales for the chemical reaction and for convective dynamics are equal. The dynamical time constant, , can be computed using , where L is a length scale and K is the vertical eddy diffusion coefficient. Usually K is left as a free parameter, and lacking any better information, L is taken to be a scale height.
Here we show that the length scale, L, can be estimated by comparing the results of three different simple mathematical ``models'' for convective dynamics. Each of the three models uses a different fundamental quantity in describing the strength or efficiency of mixing that depends on the unknown length scale, L, in a different way. By demanding that the three models give consistent results, we arrive at an independent estimate of L. We find that the appropriate value of L is different for different chemical reactions, and can be far from a scale height. As an example, we find that L=0.14 scale heights is appropriate for the estimation of the isotopic enrichment of (D/H) in CH over (D/H) in H . Using L=0.14 scale heights leads to a value of 1.17 on Jupiter at a typical value of cm sec compared to 1.21 when L=1.0 scale heights is used. This indicates that greater care should be taken when using the quench level approximation to estimate chemical abundances.

Spanish MotoGP Debrief With Masao Azuma
Posted by: newsla on May 08, 2013 - 05:34 PM
Spanish MotoGP Debrief With Masao Azuma
Bridgestone slick compounds available: Front: Soft & Medium; Rear: Extra-soft, Soft & Medium (Symmetric)
This yearâs Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez took place under resplendent sunny skies and saw local hero Dani Pedrosa ride to victory ahead of his Repsol Honda teammate Marc Marquez and Yamaha Factory Racingâs Jorge Lorenzo in third place.
The warm and sunny conditions presented the hottest track conditions at Jerez in years, with a peak track temperature of 53°C during the race providing a stern test for the riders, machines and tyres.
Q&A with Masao Azuma â Chief Engineer, Bridgestone Motorsport Tyre Development Department
Track temperatures were the highest theyâve been in recent years at Jerez, but all riders chose the softer rear slick options available to them. Can you explain the reason for this?
âTo see track temperatures in the mid 50°C range at the first race of the European season is unusual, but the harder rear slick options we brought were for such a possibility. With such high temperatures, it was expected that some riders would select harder rear slicks for the race, but the greasy track conditions meant riders chose softer rears to give them the highest level of cornering grip. Some riders did comment that the drive grip, that is the grip when the rider picks up the machine from full lean angle when accelerating out of corners, was better on the harder rear slick, but edge grip, which is important at the flowing Jerez circuit, was better on the softer rear option - even in the very hot temperatures. Race simulations in practice revealed that the rate of wear on the softer rear slicks was sufficient for the race distance, and this is why every rider selected the softer rear tyre on Sunday.
âThe fact that the wide operating temperature range and durability of our softer rubber compounds provided consistent performance over a race distance is positive for us. We had a similar situation at Austin two weeks ago. At that time only two riders selected the harder rear for the race, but the difference is that one of these riders ended up winning the race! In this case riders could lap at a similar pace with harder rear tyre, whereas at Jerez they could not. We believe this was due to the character of the tarmac and the very high track temperatures in Spain. We will now analyse the data we have from the race to see if there are any lessons to be learned for our future tyre development and race compound selection.â
Front tyre choice was also uniform across the grid, but in this case the riders selected the harder option, medium compound front slick. This seems at odds with the rear tyre selection.
âJust as the layout of Jerez requires a high amount of edge grip from the rear tyre to maintain good corner speed, it also requires a great deal of stability from the front-end under braking and cornering. Also, when you consider that track temperatures at the beginning of last yearâs race were 30°C cooler than this year, we must also consider warm-up performance, so our front slick tyre compounds for Jerez were the soft and medium compounds. The high track temperatures we experienced this weekend meant that warm-up performance wasnât such an important factor and so rider choice shifted towards the harder front slick option to give them the most front-end stability. Even though the track conditions were challenging, there isnât a big difference in overall grip level between our two front options at Jerez, so riders chose the option that gave them better stability in braking and especially cornering.
âSome riders did comment that they wouldâve liked a harder front tyre at Jerez this year, but considering the exceptionally hot weather compared to previous years, I think the balance of our compound selection was correct.â
We are three races into the season and each race has presented markedly different track and weather conditions. Have you learned anything new about the performance of the 2013 MotoGP machines that could contribute to a change in future tyre design?
âWe are constantly collecting and analysing tyre data, telemetry and rider feedback as part of our MotoGP tyre development programme. As we know, the machine weight has increased by three kilograms this year, and so we are investigating what affect this change - plus the fact that teams have now had a year to develop their chassis, electronics and power delivery to work with our latest generation of MotoGP tyres â has had on tyre performance and will apply these lessons to the development for our next generation of tyres. After pre-season testing and three races we now have a substantial amount of data with which to start developing the tyres for the 2014 season, which we will present to riders for evaluation later in the year.â

School board plans to recognize McKinzie, review security audit
By FAITH HUFFMAN | News-Telegram News Editor
Apr. 1, 2007 - Brenda McKinzie will be recognized Monday night by Sulphur Springs Independent School District Board of Education as the top Business Professionals of America instructor in the state. The board will also hear how the district did on its security audit and about a $150,000 grant which will essentially extend the SSPARKS program to the middle school level.
McKinzie received the BPA Advisor of the Year award on Wednesday, Feb. 28m at the State Leadership Conference in Chorpus Christi, for "25 years of service and outstanding leadership as a BPA advisor." During that time, more than 400 Sulphur Springs students have advanced to the state BPA competition and about 70 to the national level.
She has served in several officer positions, including as president of both the district and area advisory boards, and serves on and chairs many committees as well.
School officials during Monday night's 6 p.m. board meeting will honor McKinzie for her "invaluable" service.
The board on Monday night will also review the results of the district security audit, which included those involved in and steps taken during the audit, as well as the executive summary for the evaluation which districts are required to conducted at least every three years.
On the report, the district receives both commendations, recommendations for change, notes, steps already taken, and long and short term projects in the following audit categories: school characteristics and building exterior, building access, building interior, monitoring and surveillance, communications and information, emergency operations plan, and school climate and culture.
The board will be asked to consider a resolution commending the Head Start program for a successful audit; a contract with Rutherford, Taylor & Company, P.C., to conduct the annual district financial audit; and a contract with the county to lease voting equipment for $2,440 of the overall cost for the equipment.
Administrators will also discuss the $150,000 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant for the before and after school program "JUMP — Juniors Understanding Mathematics Plus" which the district was notified on Feb. 7 they were awarded by Texas Education Agency. The program will serve 102 middle school students 15 hours a week during the 2007-2008 school year plus a six week summer program for summer 2008.
The board will also hear an update on construction projects at both Sulphur Springs High School and Early Childhood Learning Center.
The regular April school board meeting begins at 6 p.m. Monday in the board room of SSISD Administration Building, 631 Connally St.

I have tried all of the other major aggregators, but none of them give me the visual and productive satisfaction that I get from Newsfire. A hardly-hindered demo of Newsfire is available from newsfirerss.com. The full version is available for $19.95.
EDIT: Keep on the lookout for my OS X feed reader shootout coming sometime this month.
