Listen (Wisdom)Edit
Use this skill to hear approaching enemies, to detect someone sneaking up on you from behind, or to eavesdrop on someone else's conversation.
Your listen skill check is either made against a DC that reflects how quiet the noise you are attempting to hear is, or it is opposed by your target's move silently check. Your DM may decide whether or not he makes the listen roll for you, so that if you don't hear anything than you don't know weather nothing is there or that you failed the check.
|Listen DC
|A Battle
|People Talking*
|Someone in Medium Armor Using a Slow Pace(10 ft per round) Trying not to make noise
|An Unarmored Person Using a Slow Pace (15 ft per round) Trying not to make noise
|A 1st Level Rogue Using Move Silently To Sneak Past a Listener
|People Whispering*
|A Cat Stalking
|An Owl Gliding In For the Kill
(a star means) If you beat the DC by 10 or more than you can make out what the people are saying (providing that you understand the language.)
|Listen DC modifier
|Through a Door
|Through a Stone Wall
|Per 10 feet of Distance
|Listener Distracted
In the case of someone trying to be quiet, the DCs given on the table could be replaced by move silently checks, in which case the indicated DC would be their average check result (or close to it) so if the DC 19 noted on the table for a cat stalking means that an average cat has a +9 bonus on Move silently checks. Assuming an average roll of 10 on a d20, would put its move silently check to 19.
Varies. Every time you have a chance to hear something in a reactive manner you can make a listen check without using an action. Trying to hear something that you failed to hear previously is a move action.
Try Again:Edit
Yes, you can try to hear something that you failed to hear previously, with no penalty.
- When several characters are listening to the same thing the DM can decide to make a single d20 roll and use it as all the characters' listen checks.
- A ranger gets a +2 bonus to listen checks opposing their favored enemy.
- Half Elves receive a +1.
- A sleeping character has a -10 added to there roll and a successful check awakens the sleeper.

The entire list
01 August 2008, Kıbrıs Ada TV,
Adnan Oktar: ıf you could see, you could not recognıze the turkey of future. In the real sense of the word, it will be the super state of the region and as a result Israel will be saved, Armenia and Palestine willfeelrelieved. Israel willattain an unprecedented peace and security. The problem of Palestine will be solved completely. THE FOCAL POINT OF ALL EVENTS IS TURKEY and there is an explicit request. Iraq also requests. It wants to unite with Turkey and so does Syria. Syria also wants to unite with Turkey and wants to remain under the administration of Turkey. But surely their states will be separate. They want Turkey to be the spiritual leader.
TASCA, Turkish-Arab Science, Culture and Art Association, November 21- 2008
Adnan Oktar: A headless body cannot survive. In the case of an existence of a system having a head, TURKEY CAN BE A GREAT LEADER. IT HAS EXPERIENCE INHERITED FROM THE OTTOMAN. IT HAS MATURE AND WELL-EDUCATED STAFF. TURKEY HAS A SENSIBLE, GREAT ADMINISTRATIVE CLASS. THIS MEANS A VERY SUCCESSFUL POWER, A GREAT POWER. AND NO ONE RAISES ANY OBJECTION AGAINST THIS. Why would they raise objection against Turkey while people are happy, and they receive great service from the brotherhood and leadership of Turkey and have such great benefit. It benefits Turkey in the sense that it would put a end to terror. It would come to an end momentarily. And Turkey becomes richer. And the entire cruelty in the Arabic countries would come to an end.
Akşam, 26 February 2011

Two seasons ago, former John Ehret standout Elfrid Payton scored 23 points against Scotlandville in the Class 5A state semifinals at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette's Cajundome.
Payton had such a solid performance at ULL's arena that he decided to stay in Lafayette. He's a sophomore now at ULL and one of the team's offensive playmakers.
As the starting point guard, he is averaging a team-high 15.2 points, tied for fifth in the Sun Belt Conference. His 5.2 assists per game rank second in the conference and his 2.3 steals per game lead the conference. All this while averaging 35.1 minutes, second-highest in the Sun Belt.
On Jan. 10, Payton scored a season-high 26 points in a losing effort against South Alabama. While he's always excelled at getting to the rim, Payton has improved his jump shot, a major difference in his offensive arsenal.
Payton is one of three New Orleans natives on the ULL roster, including reserve forwards Elridge Moore (St. Augustine) and Cornell Barnett (McDonogh 35), whom coach Bob Marlin challenged this week to contribute more on game days.
"We had only four players that scored basically the first 39 minutes of the game," Marlin said. "We need to get more from our bench, get more production and more shots go in from our guys instead of (just) the top four."
The New Orleans trio will also have an extra opportunity to play in their hometown the next few seasons. Starting in 2014, the Sun Belt Conference Men's and Women's Basketball Championships will be held at Lakefront Arena. New Orleans will host the tournament through 2016.
For Payton, it all makes for a great fit at ULL.
"I just liked the culture around there, the history," Payton said. "They had some really good teams a couple of yeasr back, and even way back in the 1960s and 1970s with (Dwight) Bo Lamar and Andrew Toney."
Payton wants to add his name to the school's list of all-time greats, but first, he knows the Ragin Cajuns, 8-16 overall and 4-9 in the Sun Belt Conference, must overcome the youthful issues on the court, starting on defense.
Entering Sunday's home game against Louisiana-Monroe (3-15, 2-10), the Ragin Cajuns lead the conference in scoring, averaging 70.5 points a game, but rank last in team defense (73.8).
He wants ULL, a team featuring five freshmen and four sophomores, to take defense personal. Sure, guys are going to give up shots. That's part of the game. But such moments can be limited with more energetic efforts.
"It's a little bit of everything," Payton said of his team's defensive liabilities. "One night it might be transition. Another night it might be we didn't talk enough. It's not the game plan. It's everybody as a whole needs to hold themselves accountable, including myself."

SINCE Boxing Day, Butlin's in Minehead has already had more than 48,000 guests booking holidays for 2013.
The family resort saw record sales in 2012, with summer holiday occupancy at 99%, and the company is predicting even better results this year, despite challenging economic times.
Part of the credit for the impressive figures so far has been put down to the launch of its new TV advert in late December.
Butlin's has invested more than £8 million within the last year into its Minehead resort, building two new restaurants, with plans for one more to be built this year.
Along with building work, Butlin's has invested heavily in new shows and entertainment this year, with Sesame Street Live launching in February half-term and a circus over the summer holidays.
Rachel Kepinska-Smith, brand manager at Butlin's, said: "Our new TV advert really represents the infectious, feelgood happiness of getting away from the daily routine and going on a great holiday.
"A Butlin's holiday is all about getting your sparkle back and our ad has plenty of sparkle. Holidays are about families spending quality time together and getting to know each other again."
The news has been welcomed by Minehead Chamber of Commerce, whose chair Graham Sizer said: "Things have been particularly tough in Minehead over the last year mainly because of the summer's bad weather, so this is the sort of news we need.
"Many traders rely on what Butlin's delivers. We have seen a few major national names disappear from our High Street recently though our local independent shopkeepers have remained resilient so far.
"Good news has been thin on the ground so this will give all Chamber members heart.
"The town's links with Butlin's continue to grow and if their new ideas can put a smile on their visitors' faces in 2013, it may spread into the town.
"Sparkle is what we need. Let's hope this will also be sparked by the town's new series of festivals being planned."

Wrigley winds alter Cubs' fortunes in opener
Jackson gives up four runs in first; ninth-inning rally leaves bases full
CHICAGO -- Any of the new Cubs who hadn't played much at Wrigley Field were exposed first-hand Monday to how the wind can change things.
Martin Maldonado hit a wind-aided three-run double in a four-run first inning, and the wind shifted in Milwaukee's favor in the ninth to freeze Starlin Castro's potential extra-base hit as the Brewers held on for a 7-4 victory.
The loss spoiled the fun for the 40,083 fans at the home opener. Monday marked the start of the 100th season of baseball at Wrigley Field, which was first home to Chicago teams known as the Federals and the Whales. They probably didn't have to check weather.com before every game.
The Cubs were 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position through eight innings before Alfonso Soriano singled to lead off the ninth, advanced on defensive indifference, and scored on Nate Schierholtz's single to end that trend. Luis Valbuena added an RBI single and one out later, Castro flied out deep to right with the bases loaded.
"He got it. That's a walk-off home run," Valbuena said of Castro's fly ball. "It's crazy here. One inning, it's blowing out, one it's blowing in."
"I hit that ball good -- the wind changed," Castro said.
"With the wind blowing today, I wasn't sure where the flags were going at that point," said Jim Henderson, annointed the Brewers closer on Monday. "[Castro's ball] was either going to be way out, or in [right fielder Norichika Aoki's] glove."
What if the wind hadn't shifted?
"Probably off the wall," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said of Castro's ball. "Some things went our way, and that was good."
It's only manager Dale Sveum's second season, but he's seen the conditions change enough to know.
"I had a bad feeling when we got things rolling there [in the ninth] and had nobody out and those three guys coming up and that wind shift was going to obviously be a factor in the game, both ways," Sveum said. "The wind-blown bases-loaded ball by Maldonado, they got four [runs], and the wind shift cost us four. That's Wrigley."
The 24-mph southwest wind didn't help Edwin Jackson (0-2). The Brewers loaded the bases in the first with two outs, and Jackson then walked Alex Gonzalez to force in a run and Maldonado followed with a bases-clearing double to go ahead, 4-0. Aoki doubled to lead off the Milwaukee second and scored one out later on Ryan Braun's double to right.
After the first, Jackson changed his grip on his two-seam fastball to get better command. It worked.
"He was pulling and jerking his fastball and he couldn't get ahead or anything," Sveum said. "He changed the grip and things changed around."
Said Jackson: "It changed the comfort level. It allowed me to be more comfortable on the mound and feel like I could go out and execute my pitches."
Welington Castillo took advantage of the wind in the Chicago second, hitting his first home run into the basket rimming the top of the brick outfield wall in center and driving in Soriano, who had singled, to close to 5-2.
Jackson was pulled after throwing 101 pitches over six innings and giving up eight hits and walking five. Milwaukee loaded the bases in the seventh against Shawn Camp and tallied runs on a sacrifice fly by Yuniesky Betancourt and an RBI double by pitcher Marco Estrada (1-0).
There were plenty of dignitaries for the home opener, including Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Ald. Tom Tunney, who are involved in negotiations regarding Wrigley Field's $300 million renovation plan. They sat together in the front row near the Cubs dugout.
Hall of Famers Billy Williams and Fergie Jenkins threw out ceremonial first pitches, and 82-year-old Ernie Banks led the crowd during the seventh-inning stretch. Wrigley, which first played host to the Federals and Whales before the Cubs called it home in 1916, was decked out in red, white and blue bunting, which the strong wind whipped.
"It's 'keep the ball down' day," Sveum said.
There were some positive signs regarding the offense as Soriano notched his first multi-hit game and Castillo extended his hitting streak. Castro did triple off the right-field wall in the third. But the Cubs didn't take advantage of the hitter-friendly breeze at the start of the game, and that's something that needs to change, Sveum said.
"Nobody's pressing right now," Sveum said. "It's just a matter of getting everybody together. Our fourth hitter [Soriano] doesn't have an RBI yet, not that he's swinging horrible by no means, but we're not getting many homers or RBIs out of those spots."

If it were the past subjunctive, then the conditional would have to be second conditional, not first.
But then it can't be a past tense verb, because the verb refers to a time in the future.
Exactly! That is the problem. And if we are dealing with the verb "to be", we have to choose between was and were - but (for the reasons you have given) both seem to be wrong!

FLOOD warnings of Worcestershire look set to remain in place well into the weekend with water levels set to peak on Sunday.
The Environment Agency is expecting flooding to occur in both Worcester and Upton and is warning immediate action is required to avoid disruption.
At 6pm yesterday, the level at Diglis in Worcester was 3.99 and rising slowly, with a peak level of between 4.4 and 4.8 metres not expected until Sunday.
This means Hood Street, Quay Street, Pitchcroft Lane, Waterworks Road, Newport Street, Croft Road and Diglis Dock Road could all be affected by flooding.
River levels are expected to remain elevated in the coming days due to the forecast of further rainfall.
A flood warning is also in place for Upton, with the gauge at Saxons Lode reading 4.66 metres and steady at 11am yesterday.
The level is expected to peak between five and 5.4 metres on Sunday.
Flood alerts, meaning flooding is possible, are in place for the river Severn and river Avon across Worcestershire and the lower Teme at Bransford, near Worcester.
John Curtin, head of incident management at the Environment Agency, said: "We're preparing for successive bands of heavy rain forecast into the weekend, groundwater and river levels are already high following the wettest January on record for England.
"With further river and coastal flooding expected this week we continue to have teams working around the clock to protect homes and communities and we are mobilising staff from across the Environment Agency to provide support in affected areas. Over 122,600 properties have been protected over the past few days.
"We urge people to stay safe and not to walk or drive through flood water which can be dangerous and to take care near coastal paths and promenades for fear of being swept away.
"In the face of this severe weather and continuing flood risk we would also remind people that they can sign up to receive free flood warnings, check their flood risk and keep up to date with the latest situation on the Environment Agency website and on social media using #floodaware."

German state police on Monday arrested a 93-year-old man suspected of being a former guard at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp during the Holocaust, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.
A news release did not name the suspect, in accordance with German law, but it said he had been arrested on suspicion of being an accessory to murder.
The suspect had served as a guard at the camp in Poland from the autumn of 1941 until its liberation in early 1945, the prosecutor's office said in the statement.
Following a search of the man's apartment, the suspect was brought before a judge and was in investigative custody while an arraignment was being prepared, the statement said.
A spokesperson for the prosecutor's office could not immediately be reached for comment.
According to German media reports, the prosecutor's office had launched an investigation against the man in November 2012.
About 1.1 million people, including 960,000 Jews, died at Auschwitz, according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

The Transportation Department relies too heavily on cost-reimbursement contracts and needs more high-level input to guide it away from using those riskier vehicles, according to a report from the DOT inspector general.
The White House, Congress and the Government Accountability Office have been urging federal agencies to reduce the use of potentially more expensive cost-reimbursement contracts in which a contractor is paid for all of its allowed expenses up to a set limit, plus additional payment to allow for a profit. Under fixed-price contracts, a contractor is paid a negotiated amount regardless of incurred expenses.
In response to the report, DOT officials said the agency is applying more "rigor" to its procurement practices. But they also defended the use of the contracts in some instances in which the outcome can be uncertain.
"Such circumstances are typical during research and development projects and complex services, which might include complex information technology development projects," DOT Senior Procurement Executive Willie Smith said. "Under such circumstances, the risk of underutilizing cost-type contracts is that the vendor community is forced to price the uncertainty into the contract price, which increases the potential for the department to pay too much."
Despite a growing emphasis on reducing the use of cost-reimbursement contracts, DOT's IG said in the Aug. 5 report that the agency has done the opposite. From fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2012, DOT's obligations under cost-reimbursement contracts rose from $322 million to $506 million, or from 18 percent to 22 percent of all DOT contracts, the IG said.
The dollar amounts of DOT cost-reimbursement contracts are so high, ranging into the hundreds of millions, the IG said even "minimal steps" toward improving the use and management of the contracts could produce substantial savings.
The IG reviewed a sample of 31 of the 655 DOT cost-reimbursement awards made between July 1, 2011, and May 31, 2012. Among the contracting agencies represented in the sample were the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Railroad Administration, the Federal Transit Administration, the Maritime Administration, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the Research and Innovative Technology Administration's John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center. The report did not include Federal Aviation Administration contracts.
The IG concluded that the six agencies did not fully comply with revised Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements and attributed the noncompliance to a lack of internal guidance and oversight from DOT's Office of the Senior Procurement Executive.
The IG noted that 16 of the 31 contract awards it reviewed did not have the documented justifications required for cost-reimbursement contracts and that 14 of the 16 awards were task orders.
The report also states that in 22 of the 31 contracts, DOT agencies had officially designated oversight personnel in writing, but only 12 of those people were designated before the award was made, as required. Additionally, the IG said oversight employees for five of the awards might not have been certified to perform such duties.
In a letter responding to the IG's investigation, Smith said his office is updating its procurement systems, practices and processes to apply a risk-based approach and giving the department's acquisition oversight and risk management policy a more prominent role.
"The updated policy will recognize the importance and complexities of business decisions associated with various contracting types and apply the resources of a new Acquisition Strategies Review Board towards reviewing certain acquisition strategy documents and will better ensure the rigor in application of FAR requirements across the department," Smith said.

Of all the inane, asinine things that Government does, setting a minimum bar for technical acceptability in a SERVICE and then taking the lowest-priced bid that ekes its way over the bar is at the top. The result is invariably poor service requiring additional funding to fix; understaffed teams and H-1Bs doing more than their skills allow, and inadequate bid project management because the LPTA model forces contractors to split PM time across multiple tasks. COs who let services go out LPTA deserve what they get.
@Boomer -
Was thinking exactly the same as your sentiments as I read the article. It's a balance. The more unknown your unknowns, the more appropriate a cost-plus contract becomes.
We've allowed FFP contracts to balloon beyond reason because every contractor has become accustomed to inflating price to deal with a customer that has a fuzzy idea of what they want (no matter what the requirements say.)
"Ongoing abuse of government employees and failure to provide meaningful career paths..."
This would also explain the pandemic of piss poor requirements (or meaningless requirements passed off as requirements) that make EVERYTHING the government pays for come at a premium.
Cost plus contracts are indeed appropriate for most development work. The key is having sufficient highly qualified government personnel watch over the contractor's work and apply timely appropriate direction. Ongoing abuse of government employees and failure to provide meaningful career paths and educational opportunities has made government service unattractive to the very people who could, given opportunity, provide competant leadership and management.

Ivy League Release
PHILADELPHIA – The Ivy League released its list of Academic All-Ivy for the 2012-13 winter season. There were 80 men and women – 10 representing the University of Pennsylvania – who were starters or key reserves on an officially recognized varsity team. Each student-athlete nominated had a 3.0 or better cumulative grade-point average.
Nabilla Ariffin, a tri-captain of the women's squash team as a senior, finished the season as the 13th-ranked collegiate player in the nation. Ariffin was recently awarded CSA second-team All-America honors, marking the fourth consecutive season in which she has earned the award. She also received her third consecutive first-team All-Ivy selection after competing at the No. 1 position for Penn, compiling a 7-10 overall record and going 2-4 in the Ivy League. Ariffin advanced to the second round consolation quarterfinals of the Ramsay (A) Division at the CSA Individual Championships.
Alyssa Baron served as a tri-captain and led the women's basketball team to the second-most wins in program history and its first-ever postseason victories. A unanimous first-team All-Ivy honoree, Baron led the Quakers in scoring for the third straight year with 14.1 points per game – fourth-best in the league. She was also second in the Ivy League in assists (3.8), steals (1.9) and assist-to-turnover ratio (+1.3), and fifth in rebounding (6.4).
Davielle Brown set a personal best in the pole vault for the women's track and field team at Indoor Heps. She scored in the event with a clearance of 3.80 meters (12 feet, 5 1/2 inches). That mark is second-best all-time at Penn and one centimeter off the school record. Brown is also third all-time at Penn in the outdoor pole vault.
C.J. Cobb (wrestling) tied for the team lead with 25 wins this season, finishing the regular season ranked No. 11 in the country at 141 pounds. A second-team All-Ivy selection, Cobb was 7-2 in Ivy matches, and 12-3 against EIWA opponents. During the dual-meet season, Cobb was 11-2 which ranked second on the team. Cobb was at his best against top competition, registering a team-high seven wins against opponents inside the Top-20. In his first EIWA Championships, Cobb advanced to the finals, automatically qualifying for his first NCAA Championships appearance. Off the mat, Cobb is involved in the Penn Athletics Eco Reps project, working on promoting the "greening" of collegiate athletics.
Danny Greenberg, the lone senior and team captain of men's squash, played the entire 2012-13 season as the Quakers No. 1 player on the ladder. He compiled a 4-13 individual overall record, and came up with three consecutive wins against Drexel, Williams and Navy. In Penn's opening-round match of the Hoehn Cup against Western Ontario, Greenberg took down Albert Shoihet at No. 1 in five tough games. He finished his career in the Red and Blue with a 21-44 overall record.
Dau Jok, a junior captain for the men's basketball team, played in 29 of Penn's 31 games this season, averaging 3.7 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. He had three double-figure scoring games and one double-digit rebounding game.
Megan Milavec is one of just two gymnasts to compete in the all-around in every meet for Penn this season. The senior was recently named first-team All-ECAC on beam – she tied for third place at the Championships with a 9.800 – and in the all-around when she placed third with a 38.650. Her performance helped Penn to its second-consecutive ECAC championship and fifth in program history. Additionally, Milavec was the only Quaker to be crowned as an individual champion at the 2013 Ivy Classic. She scored a career-high 9.900 on beam, the third-highest score in program history, for the title. With her 2013 ECAC honor Milavec now has a total of four during her time in the Red and Blue.
The NCAA men's sabre national champion, junior Michael Mills was nearly untouchable throughout men's fencing's 2012-13 season. He compiled a 36-5 record in team bouts and earned the individual sabre title at the season-opening Garret Open before later earning first-team All-Ivy accolades for his performance at the Ivy League Round-Robins. Finishing third in the round-robin portion of the NCAA Fencing Championships, Mills fought his way to the national title with a come-from-behind, 15-14 win over Adrian Bak of Penn State in a semifinal bout before cruising past another Nittany Lion, Shaul Gordon, by a score of 15-9 to capture the crown.
A first-team All-American as a freshman, Luona Wang (women's fencing) avoided any kind of sophomore slump from the very beginning. In the season-opening Garret Open, Wang became the first Penn foilist to win the individual title since 1979. She went on to post a 39-12 record in team bouts during the season, good for a team-best .765 winning percentage. After qualifying for the NCAA Fencing Championships, she closed out the meet in fifth place in the foil competition, just missing out on a return trip to the national semifinals but good enough to be named a second-team All-American.
A men's swimming and diving team captain as a junior, Rhoads Worster led the Quakers throughout the 2012-13 season and ended the year with two school-record performances. At the Ivy League Championships, Worster lowered his previous school record in the 100 butterfly even more, dropping it from 48.14 to 47.99 and placing fourth overall. Later in the Championships, he swam the anchor leg of the 400 freestyle relay, closing out the competition with a new Penn record time of 2:58.48.

At Amazon, we believe that innovation has the power to change the world. As we strive to become Earth's most customer-centric company, we constantly look for new ways to innovate on behalf of our different customers: individuals who shop our global websites, merchants who sell on our platform, developers who use our infrastructure to create their businesses, and creators of the books, music, films, games and other content we sell through our websites. We believe that our greatest contribution to the good of society comes directly from these core business activities.
Page last updated in May 2011.
At Amazon, we're constantly looking for ways to further reduce our environmental impact.
Online shopping is inherently more environmentally friendly than traditional retailing. The efficiencies of online shopping result in a greener shopping experience than traditional retailing. This study explains some of the benefits of the online shopping model.
Since 2007, Amazon has worked with its shipping partners in Canada to reduce excess packaging in its shipments to customers and has introduced additional types of recyclable packing materials to protect items while in transit.Environmentally Friendly Packaging
Most Amazon.ca orders are shipped in corrugated containers which are made of 100% recycled content. A wide variety of box sizes are used in the fulfillment process, so that we can ship products to customers in the "right-sized" packaging, significantly reducing packaging waste and transportation costs. Once used, these containers are 100% recyclable for use in the manufacture of other paper products.
Environmentally conscious Amazonians work together to implement environmental and energy initiatives across all parts of the company through the Kaizen program, named for the Japanese term meaning "change for the better". Amazon employees at all levels dive deep into every nook and cranny of a process to identify waste and design alternative solutions that are more energy efficient.
The power of the Kaizen projects comes from the cumulative impact of many people participating in a large number of focused projects, each delivering reductions in energy consumption and waste. The energy savings from a single Kaizen project may not seem significant, but shared across our global network, they can produce meaningful results.
Here are a few examples:Lexington, Kentucky
Amazonians in our Lexington, Kentucky, fulfillment centre analyzed the type of work performed in the bulk-storage area of the facility and learned that although a large portion of this area was not used during the weekend, the power remained on. Additionally, the team took light-level readings and determined that the area had too many lights installed for the type of work that associates were doing. As a result, over 120 lights were permanently shut off, and an additional 34 lights are turned off during the weekend. Their efforts resulted in an annual reduction of over 450,000 kilowatt-hours of power usage for this one facility; that's enough electricity to power 33 homes in Kentucky for an entire year.Coffeyville, Kansas
At the Coffeyville, Kansas, fulfillment centre, conveyor belts are used throughout the facility to route orders through the packing and shipping process. Previously, the conveyor belts operated continuously while the facility was open. An Earth Kaizen team determined that timers could be installed on the conveyor belts, so that they automatically shut down when they weren't in use. As a result, the facility now uses 30% fewer kilowatt-hours of power usage to operate the conveyor belts.Hebron/Campbellsville, Kentucky
Previously, when Amazon transferred products from its larger automated fulfillment centres to its network of smaller distribution centres, it shipped the products in single stacks of pallets loaded into trucks. Because Amazon's smaller distribution centres didn't normally use forklifts, they couldn't unload double-stacked shipments. After analysis by the Kaizen team, Amazon bought forklifts for the distribution centres allowing them to accept double-stacked pallets. Now each truck can carry twice as much cargo, resulting in an overall savings of 1.1 million miles traveled and more than 175,000 gallons of fuel.
Swansea, Wales
Amazon opened a new fulfillment centre in Swansea, Wales in 2007. During the planning process, an Earth Kaizen team worked with the management team to determine the most efficient ways to light the facility. First, the team decided to increase the size of the skylights and windows throughout the building to improve natural lighting in the work areas. Second, the team had motion sensors installed throughout the facility so that lighting was used only when needed. As a result, the fulfillment centre now uses 40% fewer kilowatt-hours of power each month than originally planned.Milton Keynes, England Gourock, Scotland Swansea, Wales
Amazon receives new inventory every day from vendors across the world. Typically, this inventory is shipped in cardboard boxes, which is recycled once the products are shelved. In 2009, an Earth Kaizen team began working with vendors to deliver the products in reusable totes, rather than cardboard boxes, in order to eliminate waste and cost for both parties. As a result, one out of ten inventory shipments to our UK fulfillment centers are now shipped without excess packaging waste.Bad Hersfeld, Germany
The Earth Kaizen team in our Bad Hersfeld, Germany, fulfillment centre determined that the high-rack and pallet area of their facility was being lit long before the first associates arrived to work. Working with the local facilities technicians, the team developed a process to turn on the 2,400 fluorescent lights in the area only when associates were working. Their efforts resulted in an annual reduction of over 10,000 kilowatt-hours of power usage in the facility.Orleans, France
Amazonians in our Orleans, France, fulfillment centre previously disposed of all kinds of waste--from corrugate cardboard to plastics--in a single compactor. An Earth Kaizen team re-engineered the process to sort different kinds of waste into separate compactors, so that corrugates and plastics could be recycled. As a result, the facility now recovers more than 60% of its disposal costs by selling the corrugate and plastic to recycling vendors in France.Glenrothes, Scotland
An Earth Kaizen team in our Glenrothes, Scotland, fulfillment centre analyzed the heating and hot water supply systems in the facility and learned that the heating was activated at all times, even during the summer months when none was required. Additionally, they discovered that their systems were supplying hot water even when it wasn't needed. The team updated the systems so that gas and electricity were used only when needed. As a result, the facility reduced their daily gas and electricity consumption by more than 90% per day--an annual reduction of thousands of cubic meters of gas and kilowatt-hours of power usage.Ichikawa, Japan
A complex system of conveyor belts is used in fulfillment centres to move products from their shelves into the boxes that are then shipped to Amazon customers. An Earth Kaizen team in our Ichikawa, Japan, fulfillment centre devised a simple but effective solution to reduce conveyor power usage by creating a visual guide that shows employees how to power down the conveyor belts when not in use, saving over 20,000 kilowatt-hours of power usage per year.Guangzhou, China
Associates in the Guangzhou, China, fulfillment centre receive products for Joyo Amazon customers from many vendors. Once the products were moved into the warehouse, the packaging materials were previously discarded. An Earth Kaizen team re-engineered the process for sorting packaging waste, so that cardboard boxes and packaging could be recycled. As a result, the facility now recycles more than 40,000 boxes and more than 8,000 kilograms of packing material per year.
Amazon's corporate headquarters in Seattle, Washington, USA is made up of eleven sustainable, eco-friendly buildings. The US Green Building Council has awarded four of these buildings with LEED Gold certification for the project's sustainable design and construction methods. LEED, which stands for "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design," recognizes the industry's most environmentally conscious projects.
In addition, Amazon.de's corporate offices in Munich, Germany have been Gold-certified as environmentally friendly by the German Sustainable Building Council, based on their energy-efficient interiors and use of sustainable building materials.
Many of Amazon's fulfillment centers around the world also have sustainable and eco-friendly interiors and exteriors. In 2009, four of Amazon's fulfillment centers in Indiana, Pennsylvania and Arizona received LEED certification for their commercial interiors. These facilities were constructed with recycled building materials and feature natural lighting and resource-efficient plumbing fixtures and lighting controls. Amazon's fulfillment center in Beijing, China maximizes the use of natural lighting, saving thousands of kilowatt-hours of power usage each month.

Amy Underhill
Amy first discovered an interest in all things patterned when as a young child she helped to strip the woodchip wallpaper in her old family home. Beneath each layer of paper she encountered a new wallpaper pattern that the previous occupants had covered over. Through this experience she developed a passion for vintage interior design and decoration. From an early age Amy was fascinated with animals, acquiring a pet cat named Mog at the age of three.
Growing up she enjoyed looking after many small animals including several gerbils and a pet mouse! She often delighted in finding families of hedgehogs residing in the back garden of her childhood home as well as exploring the countryside of rural Herefordshire. The detailed illustrations of Jill Barklem, author of the Brambly Hedge books, were always of great inspiration. Amy went on to study Contemporary Textile Practice at Cardiff School of Art and Design where she was able to unleash her passion for pattern, gaining a BA Hons Degree in the process.
Amy now works as a freelance designer, combining her love for animals and pattern to create designs with a signature naïve style for everything from greetings cards to children's clothing. She currently has two pet guinea pigs that provide endless entertainment and inspiration.

10Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. 2The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers. 6Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. 7So again Jesus said to them, Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8All who came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep did not listen to them. 9I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

I've lived in KC since I was 7 years old...there are lots of good BBQ places, but Fiorellas Jack Stack remains the best in my book. And I remain incapable of duplicating (or even really challenging!) their ribs! Man, they are good.
There's lots of great places though. The Gates sauces, which have a nice thinner bite to them compared to other sweeter sauces, are great, but I usually just buy them at the store and use them with my own BBQ. Smoked whole catfish basted with Gates BBQ sauce? Maybe really weird, but also really good! And I like it better with really hearty meats like brisket, the vinegar cuts through more than with the general Kansas City sauces. But I do like Jack Stack sauces, they have a more complex flavor than many.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Big-budget "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" hits U.S. movie theaters on Wednesday, aiming to recharge box offices in a summer season that has lost momentum after 2009's strong start.
Early reviews are mixed for director Michael Bay's effects-filled story of an alien vs. robot war on Earth that follows 2007 smash hit "Transformers," which raked in more than $700 million worldwide for its backers at DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures, a unit of media giant Viacom Inc.
But movies like "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" are widely considered to be immune from negative criticism in their first weekend at box offices because, generally speaking, their core audience of mostly young men rarely read reviews.
In fact on Monday, movie ticket site Fandango.com reported that hundreds of midnight showings ahead of Wednesday's debut already are sold out, and advance sales on Fandango are double what they were at this same time ahead of "Transformers."
That is good news for Hollywood and for DreamWorks and Paramount. The movie cost $195 million to make, Bay told reporters at a news conference last week.
"Year-to-date box office is great, but summer-to-date we're actually down in attendance ... I don't think there is anything wrong with movies, it's a typical summer season, but the first quarter was so strong," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Hollywood.com Box Office.
Hollywood's summer films, which can make up as much as 40 percent of overall annual box office tallies in the United States and Canada, started the first weekend of May with the launch of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."
Since then, about $1.68 billion worth of tickets have been sold, which is roughly equal to the same point one year ago. Attendance, however, is off 2.1 percent and the average ticket price is up to $7.35 compared to $7.18 last year.
Year-to-date, U.S. and Canadian ticket sales remain up a strong 10 percent at $4.8 billion compared to $4.3 billion at the same point last year and attendance is up about 8 percent.
The difference, box office watchers said, was 2009's first quarter, which was exceptionally strong with surprise hits such as "Paul Blart: Mall Cop." May and June saw a few key films like "Angels & Demons" fail to make a big mark with fans.
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" features toy cars that transform into robots and battle aliens who are looking to control Earth. Shia LaBeouf returns to his starring role as Sam Witwicky, a geeky boy with a sexy girlfriend (Megan Fox) and an otherworldly Camaro that shifts into an alien-fighting robot.
Critics say LaBeouf does an able job, but with a dizzying array of alien robots loudly morphing into military hardware and blasting away at enemies, he's given too little to do.
Variety called the movie "longer, louder and perhaps 'more than your eye can meet,'" compared to its 2007 predecessor.
Others blasted the story. "Characters and comedy are in short supply in a plot that's basically an Indiana Jones-style search for a buried treasure," the Hollywood Reporter said.
A few reviewers noted that movies like "Transformers" were made to emphasize action more than acting.
"It's a thrill ride, plain and simple. And it delivers," TotalFilm.com's Mark Samuels said.

God out of science, says The Science Teacher (USA) Nov 2003, Vol 70 No.8, p.34 which states "scientists refrain from considering God's actions in their work. Instead they use observation, experimentation, prevailing scientific theory, mathematics, logical arguments, strict empirical standards, heuristics, and healthy skepticism to produce knowledge. Scientific theories are therefore explanations about aspects of nature without reference to God. This means they are natural, and we call this context methodological naturalism."
Editorial Comment: That's it folks: Evolutionists - 1, Creationists - 0, by "de-fine" right of the Science Teachers Association of America.
Will students be allowed a "healthy skepticism" to challenge this definition? Or will they be forced to submit? Brings to mind the wise man who wrote "the fear of God (the Creator) is the beginning of knowledge". (Proverbs 1:7)
By the way, do you think they knew what heuristics is?

BOCA RATON, Fla.—The Saint Leo women's basketball team fell to the Lynn University Fighting Knights on Wednesday afternoon from the de Hoernle Sports & Cultural Center by a score of 68-58. The Lions went on a 12-2 run in the second half to get back in the game, but the comeback came up just short. Saint Leo moves to 10-10 overall and 5-5 in Sunshine State Conference play.

Keishara Green matched her career high in scoring with 12 points while pulling down 11 rebounds in the double-double performance. Chelsea Williams quietly dropped in 14 points on 5-of-5 shooting from the field. Chelsea Connelly contributed seven rebounds and 12 points—six of which came from two clutch threes she made during the Lions' second half comeback. Elise Clyburn scored 11 points—a new season-high for the senior.
The Lions got off to a slow start in the first half that put them in a hole early. The Lions' shooters struggled throughout the entirety of the half—going just 7-for-17 from the field.

Lions Drop Final Regular Season Home Game
SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Florida Southern Moccasins came into University Field and ruined the Lions' Senior Day as the visiting Mocs handed the Lions a 17-4 defeat in Deep South Conference action on Saturday evening.
After honoring seven Lions' seniors before the game, few highlights belonged to the Green and Gold as Florida Southern (7-6, 4-2 DSC) held the Lions scoreless in the first half. Three quick goals halfway through the third quarter had the Lions in the board, but it was too little, too late.
It was a win Saint Leo (5-7, 2-4 DSC) needed so that the Lions could get a first-round bye in the upcoming Deep South Conference tournament. Instead, the Lions will host a game in the first round for the first time since the tournament went to regional play.
Although seedings have not been released yet, it looks as if the Lions will host Rollins College on Tuesday evening.
Stay tuned to SaintLeoLions.com for tournament seedings.

WHEN little Joe Haywood was born, his parents were told he had a 50 per cent chance of suffering permanent brain damage.
But thanks to pioneering emergency treatment, he is now a happy and healthy three-year-old who loves nothing more than riding his trike and playfully pulling his pet cat's tail.
His family are only too aware of the different path the youngster's life could have taken and are keen to raise money to kit out hospitals with life-saving equipment to help poorly children and babies.
Joe's grandfather, Chris, has supported MedEquip4Kids through his involvement with the Bradshaw Gass Charitable Trust, which was set up in 1939 by John Bradshaw Gass, who was a founding partner in Bolton firm of architects, Bradshaw Gass & Hope.
In 2011 and 2012, the trust raised £35,947 for the charity to fund equipment for the Royal Bolton Hospital's neonatal unit.
Now Mr Haywood, from Heaton, is urging people to take part in the Quays Duck Race, at Salford Quays Watersports Centre, on Good Friday, April 18, to help raise thousands of pounds for MedEquip4Kids.
Mr Haywood, founder of Haywood & Co Accountants, in Myrtle Street, Bolton, said: "MedEquip4Kids is an amazing charity, helping to save precious little lives when they need it most."
His two sons Mike, a junior partner in the firm, who also lives in Heaton, and Charlie, Joe's father, raised £2,500 by taking part in the Great North Run last year.
It was September 26, 2010, when Joe was born deprived of oxygen at Lancaster Royal Infirmary.
Mr Haywood said: "My daughter-in-law had an extremely long 72-hour labour.
"She went into theatre and had an emergency Caesarean section."
The baby's heart rate had dropped dramatically and it was discovered mum Lucy, aged 38, had suffered a uterine rupture and Joe was being pulled out of the uterus and into the body cavity.
Mr Haywood said: "He was born asphyxiated and in a very poor condition, and was transferred to Liverpool Children's Hospital."
He had suffered several fits in the five hours after his birth — an indicator of damage to the brain caused by the lack of oxygen — so was transferred to Liverpool Women's Hospital to receive a new treatment that was only available in four UK hospitals at the time.
Joe was placed on a cooling pad in an incubator for three days, and his brain was cooled to about 33°C.
The treatment — hypothermia therapy for hypoxic ischemic ence- phalopathy — stops the affected cells within the brain from dying, to prevent brain damage.
During that time the consultants told his family that, based on previous outcomes, Joe had a 50 per cent chance of suffering some permanent brain damage, a 25 per cent chance of complete permanent brain damage and a 25 per cent chance that he would suffer no permanent brain damage.
His dad Charlie, aged 40, who grew up in Heaton and now lives in Lancaster, said: "We had to travel to Liverpool, but it just so happened there was a bed free for Joe.
"We feel very lucky that Joe was born when he was — a few years earlier and Joe's life may have taken a very different path.
"It's great that they have fundraisers to get more of these cooling mats closer to home."
Joe's mum Lucy said: "After three days, Joe's sedation was withdrawn and he woke up.
"The first positive sign for us was that he opened his eyes and looked around at his surroundings. The second sign was that he drank a bottle of expressed milk when he had previously been fed through a tube. After this, Joe's medication was gradually withdrawn. We felt that he was a healthy baby with no signs that anything was amiss, and when his MRI confirmed he had suffered no brain damage, we were ecstatic."
Charlie, a graphic designer, added: "He is absolutely fine. He was given a clean bill of health when he was one."
Grandfather-of-four My Haywood and his family have supported Med-Equip4Kids since 2009 and specifically the Royal Bolton's neonatal unit.
MedEquip4Kids, which works to improve the health of children and babies by providing equipment not available from the NHS, has funded a cooling wrap for the unit, and its next project is to provide Bolton Community Midwifery Team with two jaundice meters. Jaundice is a common condition in newborn babies and the midwives at Bolton see about 4,000 cases a year.
It is usually harmless in babies but in severe cases it can lead to serious health problems.
The meters cost £4,592.47 each and will improve the accuracy of the screening process, ensuring those babies that need treatment receive it promptly, but avoiding hospital admissions for unnecessary invasive tests.
Sarah Suthers, MedEquip4Kids appeals fundraiser, said: "We'd like to say a very special 'thank you' to Chris Haywood, his family and the Bradshaw Gass Trust for all their support over the years.
"Children deserve the best healthcare and it's crucial that all the right equipment and facilities are on hand to give them the best possible chance of a healthy future."
The Quays Duck Race will be part of an Easter activities day and runs from noon to 4pm at Salford Quays Watersports Centre.Supporters can back a duck for £2, by calling the charity on 0161 798 1600 or visit medequip4kids.org.uk.
