Notable Quotables - 09/13/1993
Health Care Fantasies
"Though many
analysts are skeptical of the administration's numbers, they say universal
health care will save the government money...In all, some $31 billion a year
could be saved by shifting insurance costs for the working poor and elderly
from the government to their employers."
- ABC reporter Jim Angle, September 2 World News Tonight.
"White House
officials said today the plan will require almost no new taxes. Most of the
funding will come from employers who will be required to pay into a state
- CBS reporter Linda Douglass, September 1 Evening News.
The Free Market's The Worst
"In the end, managed competition is an elaborate attempt to avoid facing an obvious fact: national health systems control costs, and market-based systems, no matter how conscientiously designed, do not. The United States already has the most competitive medicine in the world....It is exactly this competition that makes American medicine so expensive....competition has shown itself the greatest medical cost-inflator of all.
"Someday, when some
form of national health care has come to the United States, we will look back
on 1993 and say: why didn't we just get it over with then? Private-sector
market forces are the foundation of American affluence. But there is no shame
in admitting that in the special case of medical care, such forces
- Newsweek contributing editor Gregg Easterbrook, September 6 issue.
Someone Hasn't Read the Budget
"The fact is
there's only one place in government where spending is going up anymore and
that is doctor and hospital fees, and that spending cut will come probably a
little later in health care."
- CNN reporter Ken Bode on Inside Politics, August 23.
An Indecisive White House?
Clinton aides see
stronger economy
- Boston Globe, September 2
White House Sees
Sluggish Growth
- Los Angeles Times, same day
Happy Labor Day
"Today, work in
America, in Russia, indeed throughout the industrialized world, has drifted a
long way from the Marxist and capitalist ideals. For all but the elite, work
holds less promise, less purpose, less security, and less dignity than it did
a generation ago....America is also the place where comparatively light
regulation of worker-employer relations has produced the disposable job. It
comes with little or no health or pension coverage, with hours the employer
can change at will, and often with no assurance that the job will still be
around next week."
- New York Times reporter Peter Kilborn, September 5 "Week in Review."
Hateful Dole
"Dole said at the
start that he was going to be very selective in his use of the filibuster...I
think what's happened is that he's just gotten carried away with the sheer
negative, hateful joy of the whole thing."
- New York Times Washington Bureau Chief R.W. Apple quoted in Rolling Stone, September 30 issue.
Self-Help's Just An Excuse
"I know that many
of the ideas that you advocate - self-help, up-by-the-bootstraps arguments -
that has been used for years as an excuse for the government to do nothing.
Hasn't it?"
- CBS reporter Eric Engberg to Rep. Gary Franks (R-Conn.), August 28 Face the Nation.
Michael Jackson: Like Reagan?
"The explanation
for this almost evasive coverage has to do with [Michael] Jackson's peculiar
relationship with the public, and the interpretation of that relationship by
the press. The feeling is: he may be a space cadet, but he's our space cadet,
and we want to keep him. He's the Ronald Reagan of pop."
- Newsweek media writer Jonathan Alter, September 6.
And The Media Crabbed On
"But [And The
Band Played On] saves its most damning indictment for the Reagan
administration, whose politics-as-usual myopia (and alleged homophobia) kept
AIDS researchers starved for federal funding. Some of this is cheap shooting:
whenever the going gets grimmest, we see newsreel clips of an obliviously
beaming Gipper. But there's one line that rings all-too-truly. `You know damn
well if this epidemic were killing grandmothers, virgins, and four-star
generals,' grouses an overworked doctor, `you'd have an army of investigators
out there.'"
- Newsweek TV critic Harry F. Waters on the new HBO movie, September 6.
"In the plague
years of the 1980s - that low decade of denial, indifference, hostility,
opportunism, and idiocy - government fiddled, medicine diddled, and the media
were silent or hysterical. A gerontocratic Ronald Reagan took this plague less
seriously than Gerald Ford had taken swine flu. After all, he didn't need the
ghettos and he didn't want the gays."
- CBS Sunday Morning TV critic John Leonard, September 5.
Fewer Employed, Fewer Unemployed
US loses jobs in August

Jobless Rate Is Lowest
In Almost Two Years
- Washington Post, same day
Gorby Saves the Planet
"Now into the
breach strides Mikhail Gorbachev, who is once again a man with a mission.
Helping end the cold war and pushing for democratic reform in Russia were
simple compared with the new challenge he has taken up. As President of the
International Green Cross/Green Crescent, a private organization intended to
help coordinate global environmental initiatives, Gorbachev hopes to do
nothing less than spearhead a drive to save the planet."
- Time Associate Editor Eugene Linden, September 6.
Dan "Look at My Chest Hair" Rather & Hurricane Emily
"Well, in Texas
they have a saying: `That's a good way for Momma to drive a Cadillac,' which
is a way of saying that if you play with one of these things, particularly if
you are in a low-water area. I would say, Harry, this morning there must be
lot of people who are in that let's-have-another-cup-of-coffee-and-not-
worry-about-it stage. And I agree with that. That's the stage to be in."
- Dan Rather with CBS This Morning co-host Harry Smith, August 30.
"Harry, I don't
want to take away from the severity of what you two were talking about, but
please pass along to Dan he looks great in his jeans today."
- CBS This Morning co-host Paula Zahn, same morning.

The owner of a business from which police seized thousands of pirated DVDs was selling counterfeit movies so he could send money back to his impoverished family in Vietnam, a court has heard.
Phong Quoc Ly, 35, on Tuesday pleaded guilty to two charges of breaching Commonwealth copyright laws after Australian Federal Police seized 61,000 counterfeit discs from his Springvale South business and two other addresses on November 7 last year, the County Court heard.
Prosecutor Fiona Thompson said discs found at the business, another shop in Noble Park and Ly's Clayton South home comprised hundreds of titles of Asian and English language films, along with music recordings and video games.
Ms Thompson said Ly sold the copies from his business, Quoc Phong DVD World, for between 70¢ and $5 apiece and had enough stock to sell discs for between three and seven years.
The court heard Ly told investigators he made between $2000 and $3000 a week and that a log book found in the Springvale South store had recorded takings of $432,000 across 2012 and 2013, though it could not be proven all the takings related to the sale of the discs.
Defence counsel John Dickinson, QC, said Ly, a father of two and stepfather to two other children, had come to Australia as a boy with his aunt and was devoted to working to assist his family in Vietnam.
He knew selling pirated discs was illegal, Mr Dickinson said, but considered it an "economic necessity".
Ms Thompson said Ly had a previous conviction for breaching copyright laws and that general deterrence was an important factor for judge Richard Maidment to consider when sentencing.
The discs, computer equipment and disc burners seized in the raids will all be destroyed, the court heard.
Judge Maidment extended Ly's bail until August 13, when he will be sentenced.

The Banker names NBK Middle East's Bank of the Year
The National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) was named the Bank of the Year for 2002 in the Middle East for the second consecutive year by The Banker, an international Financial Times' business magazine. NBK was also awarded the 'Best Bank in Kuwait' title together with Gulf Bank.
An executive from the magazine attributed this achievement to NBK's diversified earning base, financial strength and growing regional influence. In investment banking, NBK, the largest financial institution in Kuwait, is one of the only Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) banks capable of structuring and underwriting large regional capital markets transactions, he said.
NBK reported a net profit of $188 million for first half of 2002 despite an extremely challenging environment. NBK has long been distinguished by having the highest financial strength rating among all Arab as well as Emerging Market Banks from international rating agencies including Moody's, Standard & Poor's and FitchRatings.
In July, FitchRatings upgraded the long term foreign currency rating of NBK to A+, following another upgrade by Moody's to A2 in May.
National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) was founded in 1952 as the first indigenous bank and the first joint stock company in Kuwait and the Gulf. It is by far the largest financial institution in Kuwait with effective market dominance in the commercial banking market.
NBK's international network includes branches, subsidiaries and representative offices in London, New York, Paris, Geneva, Bahrain, Beirut, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand, with other ambitious plans for regional expansion. — (menareport.com)

Lessons From a Three-Stop Thrift Crawl – September 2012
Fifty women gathered in the parking lot of the ARC Thrift Store in Green Mountain in August for my first hosted Thrift Crawl.

Denver Secondhand Store Molly's Closet Know Its Pluses – April 2012
Thanks to that annoying midlife weight gain, shopping can become a wearisome proposition for women with widening girths. Most second hand shops cater to younger, slighter women. Sure, I was that svelte gal once. As a fashion model walking the American runways in my 20's, I weighted 127 pounds and stood 5 feet 10 inches tall. I kept that shape until my mid-40's, when I hit the proverbial hormonal roller coaster, and a size 16. Click to read more.

As the economy spiraled downward and Americans tightened their belts, secondhand shops made a move onto Main Street.

That trade group says the number of thrift stores has grown 7 percent a year over the past two years, with sales climbing 12 percent a year. Click to read more.

This episode was more exiting than i thought it would be. And now there is a good plot going on because in this season he is more focused on getting with Tasha, but of course they have to stick to the storyline whereas things will just be messed up for him all the time. Everytime I think it is going to happen between then, that they are finally going to hook up, something ridiculous happens but that is good because it keeps things in tension.....Oh and Tanya hiding make up and earings in her doll, lol i thought Rochell always complained about earings lol. Oh and the hat thing was just funnnnnnnny lol. Rochelle is just unique ad crazy at the same time lol.
All it all, great episode, lookin forward to the other one next week.

I just figured I'd just come on and give my review about it. I was extremely disappointed, probably to the point where I might have walked out. Ya have to put two and two together here and figure out, this the reason we stayed is cause of the comfort of the theater we were in… The movie was completely horrible. I feel like I left the movie…actually stupider than I was before that. I want to see apparition or something man. Show me a real ghost or some type of shit. Everything is forced. When you watch it happen, it's forced. It's not scary. Are there ghosts? What's this goo? What's this old camera doing in here and who gives a fuck about a camera from 1978? It's a long, fucking, non-ending movie of nothingness. Then you get to a couple of parts where you're like eh, eh, and them weren't even scary. I don't think we've seen it all because…"

The former Disney star, who performs 'Wrecking Ball' on the singing competition, disappoints her fans by appearing onstage in floor-length dress and a turban.
Miley Cyrus hit the stage of U.K.'s "The X Factor" during the competition's results show on Sunday night, November 17. The 20-year-old singer was slated to treat fans with the live rendition of her latest chart-topping single, "Wrecking Ball".
Cyrus began singing the song emotionally from the top of a fake mountain while some scenes were being played as the background. After finishing her set, Cyrus received a standing ovation from the show's judges that included Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne.
Cyrus, who likes to show off a lot of skin during her shows, looked tame that night. She was wearing a turban with a gold detail and a floor-length silky Marc Jacob dress. According to reports obtained by British press, the singer's kids-friendly performance came after the executives of the singing competition warned her to behave.
The show's bosses wanted to pre-record the performance to ensure Cyrus' unpredictable antics wouldn't be aired live, but the star said no. They then threatened to mute the sound and cut the camera angles if she misbehaved.
"Miley has been read the riot act and told it's a family show and none of her recent behavior will be acceptable," a source told British's Daily Star. "She has been banned from smoking, swearing, twerking provocatively or implying any kind of sex act while on stage."
However, her covered-up appearance on the show disappointed viewers. Some fans said on Twitter that the performance was plain and boring. "Oooh a sheer, shiny dress. But one Kate Moss wore about 15 years ago #miley #XFactor," a Twitter user said. Others compared her whole look to Disney character Aladdin and a Ferrero Rocher. Some also wondered if Cyrus would try a new job as a fortune teller.

Westfield Stratford City is a shopping centre in Stratford, London. The centre opened on 13 September 2011. With a total retail floor area of ,[1] it is one of the largest urban shopping centres in Europe. It is the third-largest shopping centre in the United Kingdom by retail space behind the MetroCentre and the Trafford Centre. Taking the surrounding shopping area into account, it is the largest urban shopping centre in the European Union in terms of size.
Originally fully owned by the Westfield Group, in November 2010 ABP Pension Fund and CPP Investment Board each purchased a 25% shareholding with Westfield retaining 50%.
Westfield Stratford City is adjacent to the London Olympic Park, East Village, Stratford Regional and Stratford International stations. The shopping centre is part of a large multi-purpose development project called Stratford City. It is promoted as contributing significantly to the local economy, with the creation of up to 10,000 permanent jobs, including 2,001 jobs going to people in the local area.[2] However there are counter-reports of the centre having a significantly negative impact on local businesses due to the preponderance of chain stores.
Westfield Stratford City has been reported to be the first large-scale use of Pavegen floor tiles to harness kinetic energy.
In July 2012, a number of banners in Arabic welcoming shoppers for the Olympics were found to be translated incorrectly.
The site was formerly occupied by Stratford Works and Locomotive Depot.

The Future of Great Literature
Five of the 10 best-selling novels in Japan in 2007 were originally composed on cell phones. They were typed out using a phone's keypad by women who had never before written novels, and were mostly intended for readers who had never before read one. The genre's dominating plotlines involve affairs of the heart, and are marked by simplicity of plot and character and brevity of expression (lest authors' sore thumbs and readers' tired eyes bring down the industry). In The New York Times in January, one successful cell phone writer said that her audience doesn't "read works by professional writers because their sentences are too difficult to understand."
The Entrepreneurial
The New Lucky Restaurant, which has been in business in Ahmadabad, India, since the 1950s, serves diners who sit among gravestones that are located at various points around the tables. No one is certain who was buried under the restaurant, according to a December Associated Press dispatch, but diners don't seem to be spooked by the experience.
"Graveyards in India are never scary places," said a retired professor. "We don't have a nice literature of horror stories, so we don't have much fear of ghosts." In fact, the restaurant is mostly concerned about waiters tripping over the ankle-high monuments.
In January, Taser International introduced the Taser MPH, a combination weapon and MP3 music player (it fires darts and holds 150 songs).
The Wonders of Alcohol
(1) On Nov. 18, two inebriated men— driving in separate cars—lost control around the same time and smashed both cars into the Carpet Classic Floor Studio in Highland Township, Mich. (2) On Oct. 14, police in Kingsport, Tenn., received a call about a drunken pedestrian. They later tracked the suspect, Christopher Dougherty, 22, to a Hardee's restaurant, where he was found face-down in a plate of gravy. (3) Tina Williams was arrested in St. Augustine, Fla., on Super Bowl Sunday, charged with DUI and failure to have her 1-year-old daughter secured in a car seat or a seat belt. However, a case of Busch beer was safely buckled up in the front seat.
The Weirdo-American
Police in Madison, Wis., believe they ended the spree of defecations that took place inside an apartment house on Schroeder Road (the suspect vandalized the laundry room, hallways and items of clothing) with the January arrest of Ronnie Ballard, 19. At Ballard's court appearance, Dane County Court Commissioner Todd Meurer set bail at $1,400 and issued a ruling that he said he never imagined having to make: As a condition of Ballard's release, Meurer ordered him to defecate only in toilets.
Least Competent
A 53-year-old man from Vernon, British Columbia, was arrested in January and charged with robbing a CIBC bank. While he went inside to rob the bank, a 20-yearold companion was listening to the radio in the getaway car. When the alleged robber got in with the stash, they discovered that the car would not start because the radio had drained the battery. The pair allegedly fled to a nearby bakery, where they were apprehended. It didn't take long for law enforcement to arrive on the scene, as the CIBC bank is located in a building with a Mounted Police station.
Recurring Themes
In Ogden, Utah, in December, a driver of a motor home accidentally ran over a 73-year-old woman. It was unclear whether the first pass over the woman was fatal, but the driver behaved as others have: After feeling a thumping sound, the man said he stopped and backed up to see what he had hit, thus driving over the body a second time.
Latest Alarming
(1) "Man, 75, Hurt While Riding Pet Buffalo" (MSNBC.com version of an Associated Press story). (2) "Boy Glues Hand to Bed to Avoid School" (MSNBC.com version of an Associated Press story).

(1) In Chaparral, N.M., in December, two men were tracing a loaded .357-caliber Magnum in order to create a custom tattoo design. Somehow, of course, the gun went off. Both men were hit by the same bullet; one in the hand and the other in the arm. (2) A 77-year-old man in Des Moines, Iowa, who was trying to unclog his septic tank during the afternoon of Christmas Eve, lost his balance and got stuck in the opening of the tank, head first, with his legs sticking up. He remained in that position for about an hour until his wife saw him and called for help.

Affordable Needlepoint Pillows
Desire/Acquire: Nautical Needlepoint
We're suckers for Jonathan Adler's needlepoint novelties, especially his accent pillows. Packed with vintage charm and his signature quirk, they're just the thing for adding a bit of personality to a space. We've been pining after his sea-inspired options like this Needlepoint Seahorse Pillow, but tend to talk ourselves down from the $99 price commitment. Luckily, we've stumbled upon a similar pillow that's a steal.
Keep reading to see the pillow that's making our aquatic fantasy a reality!
What appeared to be needlepoint at first glance is actually hand-hooked wool, another old artform that creates a similar nubby texture. Never mind that this pillow features a whale instead of a seahorse or a red color scheme instead of a blue one – we're hooked! At just $39 (yup, that's less than half the cost of the Jonathan Adler option), we'll be scooping up this pillow without thinking twice.

As Australia grapples with the details of its domestic carbon price, a new study suggests groups of nations could do more to tackle climate change by working together.
The role of shared regional and global-scale ''carbon sinks'' that soak up greenhouse gas emissions might have been underestimated and should play a bigger part in the world's carbon accounting systems, researchers said.
These include the oceans, which have been forced to become carbon sinks by the extra CO2 in the atmosphere, and tropical forests, which are in some cases growing faster now because of emissions from decades ago, in other parts of the world.
A value should be placed on regional ecosystems that takes into account past greenhouse emissions, it said.
''For instance, we find that more than half of the emissions from African and Latin American countries since 1850 have been offset by their own land carbon sinks,'' said Pep Canadell, a co-author of the new paper, ''Attributing the increase in atmospheric CO2 to emitters and absorbers'', published on Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change.
The work touches on the problem of who takes most responsibility for cutting emissions, when industrialised nations pumped out more CO2 in the past, but in some cases are now being overtaken by developing countries. China surpassed the US in 2011 as the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter.
"The broader questions of who is responsible for what and who owes what to whom, are judgments beyond science," Dr Canadell said.
Australia emits roughly 1.6 per cent of the world's greenhouse gas output, which is nearly 40 per cent as much as the entire continent of Africa.

I'm 6'2, 21 and about 210 lbs. I do enjoy the outdoors, I like archery, boating, swimming and just looking up at night. I can't wrap my mind around how amazing space is. I also got into rock climbing recently, it is pretty neato.
I don't party much, because I don't drink often but I can come along and still have a good time regardless, I generally end up being DD so people tend to like that. I play a fair amount of video games and like to go out to the theater. I am a nerd, geek ect ect. I like cosplay and costumes. I've gone out to conventions and think they are awesome fun :) I work right now in a fabrication shop welding.
I'm a shy guy, a bit mellow but can still share a laugh. I am honest and a little blunt sometimes because I don't always talk, but when I do I get to the point. I am quiet for the most part until I feel comfortable and know you a bit, but that doesn't take too long if we share interests.
Anyways, just looking for a girl who cares about her appearance, who is intelligent and funny, knows how to enjoy herself and likes to try new things. Someone who likes to go out but also likes to have a quiet time at home watching a movie, or playing a board game. Open with feelings, and speaking your mind is important. Honesty and compassion is something I am really looking for in someone.
So, send me a message, I'm sure we'll get along :D

Banana Bread with Chocolate Glaze Satisfying depth of spicy-sweet flavors. Could be a perfect homemade gift!
If I could, I would drizzle everything with chocolate. Months ago at a local cafe I saw a huge loaf of banana bread that had been generously drizzled with chocolate behind the bakery counter. Instantly, I added the bread to my mental list of recipes to make. Then I proceeded to forget all about it a few days later.
That was until I saw a recipe for banana bread with chocolate glaze in a magazine. I was reminded of how glorious that loaf had looked behind the shiny glass display and knew I had to make it. So bananas went on my grocery list and then on my counter where I pretty much willed them to ripen. Finally, days later, I threw this banana bread together. It made my whole house smell better than any candle. That night I enjoyed not one, but two magnificent slices before packing for Blogher Food. It's a small tragedy that I had to give the rest of the loaf away since I was heading out of town.
I miss you, banana bread. We shall meet again.
Note: when I photographed this recipe I hadn't sifted the sugar and cocoa for the chocolate glaze, hence the lumps. I proceeded to alter the recipe to produce a more smooth and beautiful glaze. Sifted or not, it's still scrumptious!
Recipe Rundown
Taste: Satisfying depth of spicy-sweet flavors accentuated by the rich chocolate glaze.
Texture: Moist, rich, with a smooth, firm chocolate glaze.
Ease: Both the batter and glaze are super easy to throw together.
Appearance: The chocolate glaze looks absolutely mouth-watering.
Pros: Easy and perfectly delicious.
Cons: Indulgent banana bread recipe.
Would I make this again? Yes! This would make a fabulous homemade gift.

Banana bread and I are good friends, but I could easily fall in love with chocolate glazed banana bread! A smear of peanut butter added to a slice of this bread would leave me absolutely smitten.
That chocolate glaze looks heavenly Tessa! I almost never eat banana bread unless it's covered in a glaze of some sort 🙂
Oh, chocolate and bananas- the most comforting of combos. Kind of like baking itself. I hope you're adjusting back to real life after a whirlwind few days. I hope to see you soon.
Sigh – this looks delightful!
se ve delicioso y muy lindo,un lujo de cake con ingredientes que me encantan,cari
As someone who loves chocolate covered bananas, I love the idea of the chocolate drizzle on this loaf
Bananas turn the perfect brown for baking if you throw them in the freezer, when you are ready to use take them out to defrost and they will be mushy and ripe and perfect. Kinda gross to touch but it does the trick anytime you don't plan ahead for things like muffins or bars
Yum!!!!! Send me a piece of that! Delicious!
Even though I don't usualy try new one I tried a recipe a few weeks ago call chocolate zucchini bread. It was a hit!
This Banana Bread was addictive-ly delicious. I will make this again.
I am going to try that recipe..
I like it
Do you have a whole wheat dinner roll receipe? Your banana bread is to die for!!!
I made it yesterday without the glaze. It's delicious. It was exactly sweet enough to silence my craving but not so sweet that my mum would've hated it (she cuts down sugar on almost every recipe because they taste too sweet for her). I will definitely make it again! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful recipe, and, who knows, perhaps next time I'll even add the chocolate glaze (which looks amazing).

A lush garden offers the community a chance to explore and enjoy the natural world. Stroll through six main areas: Grassland, Rain, Butterfly, Herb, Edible and Woodland Garden. Three whimsical, sculptures use solar, wind and water energy to produce a lively concert of musical sounds.
Free and Open to the Public
This is a shallow area that collects rain water from a roof, yard or driveway and allows the water to filter into the ground. It's not a pond – it only holds water for about six hours. Benefit – a rain garden reduces the amount of pollutants that enter nearby lakes and streams, helping to make them healthier places for animals and plants to live.
Four themed gardens make up the Herb Garden: Texture, Medicinal, Tutti Frutti and Pizza and Taco. Plants in each area encourage visitors to touch, smell, observe and even taste what's growing. You might find some of these plants in your favorite pizza or taco recipe or even your medicine cabinet!
Woodland areas are home to a variety of wildlife and plants. They're dominated by larger woody plants, mammals, insects and amphibians. Plants include pine trees, hinoki false cypress, arrowwood viburnum and drooping leucothoe.
Butterflies love nectar – the liquid produced by some flowers in the garden. They especially like red, yellow, orange, pink or purple flowers. You might also find them sunning themselves on a leaf or stem. Plants in the Butterfly Garden include butterfly bush, daylilies, milkweed and shasta daisies.
Grasses need very little maintenance. They provide animals with great food and shelter and their roots help keep the soil in place. Plants include different species of rushes and switch grasses.
Simple raised beds or pots make great places to grow your favorite vegetables and fruits. Visit Stepping Stones to learn how you too can grow your own organic food!
Three whimsical, sculptures use solar, wind and water energy to produce a lively concert of musical sounds.
The solar panel turns sunlight into electricity which powers a motor to ring the cymbals.
Wind moves the small wind turbine to produce electricity which powers a motor to ring the chimes.
Rain causes the wheels to spin and move around objects inside to create the sound of a rain stick.

OWS "Bat Signal" Projections Appear On Verizon Building
This past Thursday, as Occupy Wall Street protesters marched in New York City, "bat-signal" projections appeared on the Verizon Building, shown above. Words in light included the following:
"99% / MIC CHECK! / LOOK AROUND / YOU ARE A PART / OF A GLOBAL UPRISING / WE ARE A CRY / FROM THE HEART / OF THE WORLD / WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE / ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE / HAPPY BIRTHDAY / #OCCUPY MOVEMENT / OCCUPY WALL STREET / list of cities, states and countries / OCCUPY EARTH / WE ARE WINNING / IT IS THE BEGINNING OF THE BEGINNING / DO NOT BE AFRAID / LOVE."
Boing Boing interviewed Mark Read, organizer of the project, who said, "I'm feeling so much gratitude to everyone, for putting their bodies on the line every day, for this movement. It's a global uprising we're part of. We have to win."

Today we get to do another "Random Acts of Kindness" post (a quick mission you can do to make a big impact on someone's day). BTW – you can still do the previous mission ("Tell someone you appreciate them"). A Big Thank You to those who posted all those awesome stories in the comments! Today's mission is:
Help Someone.
By now you've probably seen the pictures or video of the aftermath of the recent tragic Boston marathon bombings. As the smoke was billowing out, good hearted people were rushing in. While no amount of good deeds will ever wipe away that or other tragedies, I do believe that if enough of us help others, our positive actions will reverberate around the world. Good can overwhelm Bad. What kind of "help" counts? You name it! If it's from your heart, it's Good. You can help someone having a tough day – or help them have an even better day! You can help a stranger with directions, take extra special care of a pet, ask your neighbor if they need help, donate to a charity, etc. Quick and simple is good – this is about helping but it's also about spreading positive energy. After you've completed the action:
1. Please share your experience in the comments below. Who'd you help? How did they react? How'd it make you feel? Let us know and help inspire more of us to share the love. I, for one, read every comment – please share!
2. Then, click the "I did this" button below to claim 20 Butterfly Credits you can use to make even more of a difference. (Honor system. Only one click per person.)
Thank you for Making a Difference!

Music fans can now enjoy the rockers' special performance with Led Zeppelin at the famous soccer stadium as they are planning to release the live shows next month on a DVD format.
Fans of rock band Foo Fighters will be thrilled to hear the latest reports saying that the band are preparing to release a live DVD of their recent two concerts in Wembley, London. The two shows that were held on June 6-7 is very special indeed as one of the two shows also feature the band's collaboration with members of Led Zeppelin.
The live DVD set is being scheduled to hit the shelves on August 23 and it will have about 18 tracks including two collaboration tracks between Foo and the Zeppelin, which were "Rock and Roll" and "Ramble On". Meanwhile, other tracks on the new package are the songs that the band played on their London concerts. The complete track list for the DVD can be viewed at Angryape.com.
The release of the London shows as a DVD format also showed how important that London gigs are to Foo especially to their frontman Dave Grohl. The appearance of two Zeppelin stars John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page on stage with Dave and co was the main reason that make the "Learn to Fly" hit maker marked the concerts as a special event for them as they are a big fan of the legendary rockers.
Beside preparing to drop the special DVD set, Foo themselves are gearing up to continue their North American tour after it was delayed for a while because Dave got sick. The upcoming gig that the band will stage is on July 29 at Izod Center, E. Rutherfoord.

Jasmine Scott is a maker of resin rings, and a New Zealander currently based in Florida (I'm sure she went there for the weather ;)).
Graduate of the prestigious National Art School in Sydney, and winner of numerous awards in various disciplines, her talent is spread through drawing, painting, sculpture and especially printmaking.
In recent years however, she has turned her considerable talents to resin jewellery, with inspiration from retro pop and candy, brightly coloured and super fun. She has an impressive eye for colour and subtlety, with wonderful attention to details. When I asked her about her influences, she included "Marini, Auerbach, Modgiliani, Giacometti, Rothko and Motherwell. I particularly love their expressive manipulation of materials." And while several of these I can see are more influential on Scott's printmaking, I can especially see Rothko as a starting point for her jewellery, in his use of rich, layered colour.
She also told me that she was "obsessed with a fantastic book, '1000 Rings' by Lark Books [and you really must check out the rest of the Lark series too – fabulous contemporary craft! – JG], and a blog that only focuses on fabulous rings, TheCarrotBox.
Both sources have an incredible collection of both established and emerging artists/designers."
I love Jasmine's rings! But looking back over what this incredibly talented artist has done in her career so far, I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
You can find more about Jasmine and her work on her website www.jasminescott.net, and her work is available in her Etsy shop here.

Country of Origin: United States
Height: 18–23 inches
Weight: Approximately 40–65 pounds
Coat: Double coat with outer coat of medium texture and length, straight or wavy, weather resistant; undercoat varies with climate; moderate mane and frill
Colors: Black, blue merle, red, red merle; may have white markings
Registries (With Group): AKC (Herding); UKC (Herding)
The Australian Shepherd is not an Australian breed at all but rather was developed in the United States by cattle and sheepherders who lived in the western states. The Pyrenean Shepherd, brought to the United States by the Basques, is one obvious ancestor. Other herding dogs, such as the Smithfield, Collie, and Border Collie, also contributed to the prototype. These hardworking stock dogs were sometimes the only companion for an isolated shepherd. This talented dog was soon adept at not only herding and guarding livestock but also at almost any duty a farm family could ask of him. He is still the breed of choice for many ranchers.
The Australian Shepherd is smart and friendly—a winning combination of intelligence, ability, and personality. He works with enthusiasm and style, whether it is tending to livestock, running an agility course, participating in competitive obedience, or making someone's day as a therapy dog.
- Exercise: The versatile Australian Shepherd absolutely must have both physical and mental exercise. He needs a meaningful job and a purpose toward which to direct his abundant energy.
- Grooming: The Aussie's double coat needs consistent care to keep shedding under control and to keep him looking his best.
- Life Span: The average life span of the Australian Shepherd is 12 to 15 years.
- Training: With a can-do attitude—and aptitude—there is almost nothing an Aussie can't be taught to do, as long as his instruction is positive, inspiring, and purposeful.

'American Idol' Boots Second Girl; All Guys Remain
Spoiler alert! One more hopeful was sent packing last night on the American Idol elimination show. Once again, the bottom three consisted of all girls — a sure sign that the guys are taking the lead in the competition thus far.
For the second week in a row, Haley Reinhart and Karen Rodriguez were in danger of being sent home. They were joined by Chicago native Naima Adedapo, who took part in the city's last Summerfest — cleaning toilets. Luckily she won't be trading the mic for the scrub brush any time soon.
It was obvious Haley was disappointed to be up for elimination once again, as the 20-year-old is struggling to find her comfort zone. She admitted that she needs to find better material that reflects her personal style, which she described as "rock and funk and blues all into one." After hearing her critiques, she was also deemed safe.
That left only Karen, who had skillfully mixed a little Latin flavor into her performances by singing in both English and Spanish. Due to her obvious talents the judges debated using their one save to keep her in the competition, but they failed to come to a unanimous decision and had to end her AI journey.
Do you think Karen should have stayed? Tell Celebuzz on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr to take the conversation beyond the comment box!

In a Melbourne-esque lane off a lane, barista Simon Michelangeli works his vintage orange Gaggia coffee machine at Fugazza Cafe. It's in A1 condition and makes a mean latte with A2 milk.
The Equitable Place hideaway off Little Collins Street has used A2 exclusively since opening three years ago due to the taste, superior frothing ability and health benefits of the milk that appears to prevent digestive problems.
A2 milk refers to the A2 beta-casein protein and excludes the A1 protein in regular milk that causes digestive upset. Mr Michelangeli even developed the ''Fugazza Caffe'' house blend based on the ''taste profile'' of the milk.
''A lot of people like myself think they are lactose intolerant but when I switched to A2 I found out I was intolerant to the A1 protein,'' he said.
Clarissa Clayton, owner of Hide and Cheek Cafe in St Kilda, also uses A2 exclusively and said: ''People tell me it makes a difference. People who come back regularly love the coffee.''
Latte-loving Melbourne has embraced A2 more than Sydney, judging by the number of cafes using the milk. Out of 156 cafes in both states, 125 are in Melbourne. X Factor judge Dannii Minogue sang the praises of A2 milk as a paid spokeswoman in the UK after finding it did not cause the digestive problems she endured as a child.
Mother of two, Sophie Day, was drawn to A2 because of the ''better'' cows but a premium product costs - $5 for two litres. Whereas, Pura Original Milk is $2.99 and Pauls Rev is $3.99.
Dairy Australia advises: ''All types of milk are part of a healthy, balanced diet.''

Open letter to Libre Shuppan
« previous entry | next entry »
Sep. 13th, 2010 | 09:05 pm
mood: depressed
I don't know for you, but my week-end was really gloomy... That most of my favourite scanlators went down one after the other under Libre's "Cease & Desist" letter was a heavy blow. And the reason behind it made it worse: Libre is looking to augment its market share of the English-speaking population through Animate USA: www.animate-world.com/
"Thank you for reading our books and for your continued support" they write at the bottom... sorry L-folks, the only thing I feel right now is the urge to smash a Kindle down your throat!!! ...argh, though satisfying, this was an entirely inappropriate reaction. So I stomped on it and rationalized it -- then I wrote everything down and sent it to Libre. It is not nice, but at least it is not uncivilized...
"To whom it may concern at Libre,
"I can guess at the love-hate relationship that probably exists between publishers, scanlators and mangakas. I get that scanlations are illegal, that scanlators don't have a legal leg to stand on when it comes to publisher's right and that they're fiddling with things that do not belong to them. On the other hand, scanlators are the first and the strongest fans; if not for them, yaoi – as well as the publishers of yaoi and the mangaka creating yaoi – would not be where they are today.
"I read scanlations. A lot. But I also buy manga. A lot. Or more precisely: I buy tons of manga. In 3 years, I've bought more than 1500 manga books, 90% of it yaoi. I buy manga in English, in French and in Japanese – the later in bulks of 15~20 books.
"Every month, I spend more than US$ 200 on books. I usually choose the books I buy by reading scanlations. And when I love a manga or a mangaka's work, I want to own it in book form. If it's not available in English, I'll usually get it from Japan, in Japanese. Yes Libre, I am one of your direct customer.
"As a customer, I am now incensed by the way you are trying to milk me. I understand that you want to secure a return on your investment in copyrights you bought and you certainly wish to promote mangakas' work. But US$ 2.99 a chapter via Kindle? Force me to buy a $150 device I hate reading comics on, to be able to read a manga that will on the whole cost me US$ 15 or more?? And I'll have to fish out another $10 if I want it in book format??? Then you even expect me to buy Japanese manga on Kindle at a higher price than a tankoubon????
"I said it already, but let me repeat to make sure it gets through: I choose which manga I buy by reading the scanlations. I DON'T buy blind. Libre decided to come down on the scanlators, and the company has every right to do so. However, has Libre realized it's coming down on the readers and on the whole community that generates and expands the interest in yaoi and in its products? I discovered yaoi because of scanlators. If not for scanlators, my $200 a month would be spent on other books completely. Now, I feel like Libre is spitting on me and tying me down to steal my wallet.
"Therefore, I, as a reader and a buyer, am deciding that from now on, Libre will not see one of my dollar if I can help it. Not only will I stop buying Libre books, I will also cancel my subscription to 'Be x Boy Gold Magazine' (I'm going to get 'Lynx' instead *smile*); I'll also stop buying Libre books licensed by French or English publishers. As a matter of fact, I already cancelled the following pre-ordered items:
"From Digital Manga Publishing:
KUKU Hayate's "Love Sickness" (あやしの君の恋煩い)
KONOHARA Narise's "Cold Light" and "Cold Fever"
KUWABARA Yuuko's "Garden Sky" (おそらでガーデン)
ZAOU Taishi's "Mysterious Love" (恋は異なもの妙なもの)
HIGASHINO You's "Deeply Loving a Maniac (超マニアックに愛して)
"From Asuka Editions:
MISHIMO Kazuhico's "Lover's Doll" (ラバーズ・ドール)
KITAKAMI Ren's "The Path to Love" (みちづれポリシー)
TAKANAGA Hinako's "Silent Love" (不器用なサイレント)
"Be x Boy Magazine" – the French Edition
"And I wrote to the publishers to tell them why.
"Libre, I definitely don't commend your business acumen. Already as an English reader, I was leery after the way you handled Be Beautiful. With your latest stunt, I feel like throwing up my hands in the air and giving you up for good... which really pisses me off because great mangaka are published through the Libre imprint. But I will stop buying "Aitsu no Daihonmei" and "Sex Pistols" ("Sex Pistols", by the way, I have both in the English and the Japanese editions) and all the other great series, just to. Not. Buy. Anything. Of. Yours.
"So long, Libre.
"Signed: Joelle, a frustrated and dissatisfied ex-customer"
And everything I wrote in that e-mail, I did. Believe me, it was HARD to click on the cancel button for "Deeply Loving a Maniac"... T____T . Also, cancelling orders from bookdepository.com is a pain.

I think Japanese as usual just they are thinking they understand what is to do business but never know what it is in general. Scanlation groups are their greatest promotion! Money free and worldwide! It's direct way to millions fans. But they don't understand that, don't respect us and now they decelerate the war to us. I'm speechless. I thought they aren't so stupid.
Yes, I also bought many Yaoi mangas and novels books and magazines. English and Japanese as well. I have Yamane Ayano all duplicated in English and Japanese. I even started to learn Japanese language. But I buy books only after I read them on scanlation. If the scalnlation sites would be closed – no more purchase for me. I don't buy blind!
You are very brave – you wrote that truthful letter. It's a pity what some other scanlation groups just have run into the bushes. Libre is just awfully stupid.

I wish i could buy manga from the US, but with the shipping price well, i cant afford it right now.
Anyway! Your letter is awesome, and it wasn't even harsh or rude.You just stated the truth..and cancelling those mangas..
Go Joelle! And i really hope after their "brave" actions toward scanlater groups they will answer you.

I have favorite yaoi titles under Libre like works of Youka Nitta, Konohara Narise, etc.. Based from the $ figures you've (Joelle) laid out, it's ripping an avid customer like you, really.
Although legality is legality. I know scanlators work mainly for free. But with the existence of online read manga sites (sites with ads) or paid sites, these trigger publishers to take action. I think there was a news regarding legal action against these sites. I'd hope that time it just remained in that target for licensed copies. Ah, Libre obviously spends a lot to even go after scanlators.
Even though I am not subscriber like you, I'd still feel the same way.

I am also someone who buys tons and tons of manga. I am someone who checks Akadot on a daily bases hoping to see that new manga is for sale. I spend around $100 a month on manga, and would spend more if the American publishers had not let the market go to shit, which made so little manga available.
I understand that what Libre is doing is well within their rights, and if they were offering an affordable option I would have no problem getting on board with it. But what is currently being offered is overpriced, and actually a lot of what Animate USA has I already own because I have been supporting the American yaoi market since day 1. I wouldn't be against buying a kindle to read new yaoi, but not at their current pricing. In fact, if they really want my interest how about they take their yaoi magazines and make them available in English online. I would pay for a subscription to that in a heartbeat and I am willing to bet most of you would too.
I have to say that I am very frustrated by the current American manga industry. I was someone who drove an hour cross down to pick up copies of bebeautifuls early releases. I was someone who worked closely with the comic shop near my office to get them to sale yaoi and also to help them decide which books they should place orders on. I watched their yaoi offerings grow from one tiny shelve to take up their entire back room.
And really why doesn't companies like DMP try to understand and listen to their fans. Anyone spent anytime at the DMP forum? It is full of people begging for titles that are behind in releases, and the comments get either ignored, criticized by DMP cheerleaders, or they get excuses when all they were looking for are solid answers.
So yeah I supported the American yaoi industry since day 1. I own the hard to find bebeautiful copies of viewfinder and Haru, because I bought them on release day. Yep I bought them only to get screwed when bebeautiful took a dive. I own almost every single yaoi manga/novel that has been published in America, and if I am missing a couple that is due to the fact that the book sold out before I was able to get a copy and we all know that can happen since god forbid we get a 2nd printing. The mindset with the American publishers seems to be if you didn't get it when we published that first tiny run you must not have wanted it in the first place. Nope they seem to see no future in their own product so what is a fan to do?
Oh and since I am obviously on a well needed rant lets take a minute and talk about censorship. How about the fact that June censored its books for years but never bothered to mention it to the readers? I feel so stupid and cheated that I bought all those books and in the end if I want to see what really happened I need to turn to the scans. Thing is the scanlation groups follow the rules and pull the scans when the product gets licensed so even that isn't an option sometimes. Hello June: Yaoi is for adults and if you don't realize that your customers are adults you are in the wrong business.
Okay okay, so now that I have gotten that off of my chest I will play devils advocate to myself (ha ha, sorry I seem to be on a role here):
Libre owns it: Yep it is true. They are right and scanlations are breaking the rules. I am an honest person and you know what? I would much rather do the right thing. Still can't they make it a little easier for us who want to do the right thing? Hello Libre I want to buy your projects in English, but I want to pay closer to what your Japanese audience pays. I also don't want to wait forever between releases, and I want the whole series start to finish, so even if it doesn't sale well there needs to be a way to allow fans to finish what they start.
Okay I feel better now. Hope you don't mind that I used your LJ to get that off of my chest.

Damn. Now that "Kimi no Ondo" is back on DMP's release list, I wonder what they're going to do with the whole kid-prostituting-for-the- teacher thing…
I stopped going to DMP forum, it was too annoying – there's hardly any official answers given; the only "official" happenings in this forum are to delete any post mentioning scanlation. Notice that my whole little drama thing here DMP is the one publisher that didn't write back…?
I appreciate your comment. In my posts I concentrated on how scanlators help the publishers, less on all that scanlators do fir the readers; to start commenting on the quality of the English mangas would be 'nother whole long discussion… Up 'till now Kitty Media forgetting to put 2 pages in "Thunderbolt Boys Excite" vol. 1, and putting them in vol. 2 took the cake for me (it was a tie-in with "Don't Be Naughty" 's crappy editing), but Juné censoring stuff without my knowledge… that bothers me.

2. Publishers don't owe you the right to preview everything they publish, especially since some subset of the "previewers" never buy. (How many? I don't think anyone knows. But if sales matched scanlation views, I don't think Libre would be after the scanlators.) What other industry lets you use their product free and decide afterwards if you want to pay for it?
3. Libre is not "spitting on [you] and tying me down to steal [your] wallet." They are offering their product in an alternate format that may be more suitable for the niche market that is BL. Yes, they don't have to pay for printing (which is typically around 10% of production costs, so they're not saving that much), but they still have to pay for translation, editing, and formatting (and Amazon's cut). Considering the apparent volume of sales, I doubt the Kindle offerings have made them a profit yet.
4. You have a perfect right to boycott whichever publishers you want for whatever reason you like. But this letter is just silly. The scanlators and readers are doing something which is illegal, and which is hurting the publishers (to what extent, we don't yet know); they are entirely within their rights to ask you to stop.
I read scanlations too. I'm sad that they may go away. But it was never something we had a right to. We should be happy they let it go on as long as they did.
@ commentator amamiya_rin: "Rules right now: No money no read." Yes. Exactly. They own it; if you want it, pay for it. Publishing is a business, not a charity. Fans are great, but if the fans aren't buying, there's no way to keep the business afloat. If you can't buy it, bug your library; they might surprise you with what they can get.

I would never expect them to accept scanlators, but it does show one thing many foreign buyers desire: the chance to preview series. No, customers don't have "right" to preview, but they clearly want it, so it wouldn't be a bad idea for the company to offer up more previews.
And with it being such a niche market, as you mentioned, it seems like it would be even worse to alienate fans by cracking down harshly on scanlators... yes, they should be policed, but to some extent it would be better to have an uneasy co-existence, go after only ones that continue scanning once a series is license in that language... because scanlations DO attract new fans, and generate buzz/publicity, no one is denying that are they? It's really a matter of whether there is less good coming from scanlations existence now than bad.

I do buy things from mangaka I adore. I even spent close to $40 dollars on an artbook once.
We are not made of money! Sometimes I will like the cover, but the inside sucks! Having a digital version is just not as rewarding as having a hard copy of your favorite manga.
We're sort of like collectors that want to examine our products before we purchase them?

Libre needs to make money, in order to continue publishing. This is a fact. I fully support this; no money->no publications->no wonderful stories for me to read. The US/Worldwide market is just not as manga-mad [in general] as Japan itself, and that tends to translate as a much tougher market to crack, which in turn means small print runs and higher prices.
However, I also understand that as a reader, I want to be able to buy manga that I love, in my first language [English], at a reasonable price and a decent quality.
So, my response to Libre and the whole Kindle thing would be this:
'I have been doing, for going on two and a half years now, the entire process needed to release manga in electronic format. And I have been doing this for free.
If I have the time and resources, I can even manage 2 chapters a day. Working an average year at this [i.e. the same hours/days I work at my day job] I estimate I could manage 660 chapters a year. Let's say 500 for pacing's sake. That's *100* volumes of manga in a year. Remember, this is *just me*.
Now, if I charged $1 per chapter [$5 per volume] and I got 500 downloads per chapter [roughly 1/5 of what I get for my free work,] how much would that pay you [minus a reasonable yearly wage for me] per year? You do the math.'
Maybe that sounds pompous and a bit self-serving, but the message stays the same. Maybe as an all-rounder scanlator I'm a rarer breed, I don't know, but I could do that job, and do it well, for a fraction of what they seem to be trying to do it for.

That is a very interesting point, and one that I think a lot of fans think about. I often wonder why the Japanese companies wouldn't just hire some people to translate their projects and put them for sale on the internet themselves. It would seem that they could do it much less expensive that way. Like I said in my rant above, I would happily purchase online subscriptions to Yaoi magazines published in English.

I have a decently sized collection of manga, in which, about two years ago, hardly consisted of yaoi. Now, however, well more than half of my collection is of yaoi books. This C&D was a major blow and when I saw on Amazon that each chapter was being released for $2.99, my brain just couldn't figure out exactly HOW that was logical at all.
The most I can do is stop purchasing as much as I used to (which was about 5-10 books a month). I commend you for your action and I do sincerely hope this at least opens their eye a little. It would be great if they replied, although highly doubtful, but seeing as this has definitely infuriated a good number of their readers and buyers...I hope they at least put some thought into it.

The amusing thing is that most of these companies are doing exactly what you're going through. Losing their customers and the audience they gained purely through scanlations.
They're losing an international audience whose amount overwhelms the North American (/English-speaking) audience they're aiming for. It's infuriating because, to me, this is like giving the rest of the fans all over the world (excluding Japan and North America of course) the middle finger.
Personally, I attempted to buy manga, in Japanese and unlicensed, and guess what? It never came. Almost 80 dollars wasted. So this "don't read scanlations, please buy" is working great so far! And the thing is, I know I will NEVER EVER get the mangas I want published in my country (yay for Middle East!) and even if I TRY to buy them, they never come (they're probably confiscated; my last FOUR packages didn't arrive as well).
So what should fans in similar positions do? Cause I'm definitely not going to the US or anywhere near North America (can't really) just to buy manga. I can't buy Japanese manga from the source (because the postal industry here is so effing useless) and now, I'm not supposed to read scanlations. How's that workin' now, Mr. Big Corporate Publisher?
Supply-and-demand is such a pain sometimes. The only mangas they license are the typical fluffy BL bull (except some really good ones). They are not being considerate of their audience through pulling 'stunts' like these; and, as stated before: G.R.E.E.D. They only license what LOOKS like it can sell. Sell-able = customers = money. That's how these things roll. [/rant over]
And I can help you with shoving the Kindle down Mr. Big Corporate Publisher's throat <33

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Coronel, Julian Javier Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-12162005-145644 Title Frictional Interaction Properties between Geomaterials and Geosynthetics Degree Master of Science (M.S.) Department Civil & Environmental Engineering Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Louay Mohammad Committee Co-Chair Murad Abu-Farsakh Committee Co-Chair Zhongjie Zhang Committee Member Keywords
- geogrids
- interface friction parameters
Date of Defense 2005-11-21 Availability unrestricted AbstractSoil reinforcement interaction is a primary issue for designing reinforced soil structures. The soil to geosynthetic interaction parameters are influenced by a) Interaction mechanism between geomaterials and geosynthetics (pull-out or direct shear), b) Physical and mechanical properties of geomaterials (density, grain shape and size, grain size distribution, water content, and plasticity of clayey soils), and c) Mechanical properties (tensile peak strength), shape and geometry of geosynthetics. The soil to geogrid interface friction parameters (interface friction angle "δ" and adhesion "ca") for different plasticity indexes, moisture contents, and dry densities were investigated. For this purposes, a large scale direct shear box was used to evaluate the interface friction parameters between four geosynthetics (geotextile 4 x 4 woven, and geogrids BX - 6100, Miragrid 8XT, and BasXgrid 11) and four types of soils (sand, clay 6 PI, clay 25 PI and clay 49 PI). The interaction parameters were determined by separating the soil to geogrid interface friction from the measured combined soil to soil friction. The interface friction parameters were investigated and compared for geogrids with and without their transverse members. Finally, the coefficients of interaction between the investigated soils and geosynthetics were evaluated. The results of this study indicated that (i) cohesive soils can be successfully reinforced with geogrids and geotextile reinforcements (ii) the interface shear strength increases with the decrease in moisture content and increases with the increase in dry density, (iii) the interface parameters obtained for geosynthetics with a rough surface are greater than the ones obtained with a smooth surface, and (iv) the coefficients of interaction (ci) are higher than 0.5 for all tests indicating good bonding between the tested soil and geosynthetics.

Mexico City, Sep 8 (IANS/EFE) Amnesty International has praised the release of two Mexican journalists, arrested while covering teachers' protests in the capital against President Enrique Peña Nieto's education overhaul.
Journalists Gustavo Ruiz Lizarraga and Pavel Alejandro Primo were freed Friday along with four other activists arrested during the demonstrations, the London-based human rights group said, adding that one person still remains in custody.
Amnesty sources said the journalists still face several charges, including resisting arrest, and called on authorities to ensure they be granted due process.
The rights group also demanded an explanation for the arrests, saying that, based on publicly released video footage, they appeared to have been detained while carrying out their "legitimate work".
Ruiz Lizarraga, a photographer with SubVersiones news agency, was arrested while filming police arresting protesters, said Paris-based Reporters Without Borders.
Before being taken into custody, he handed his camera to a colleague and the video footage he captured "provided evidence of the police abuses and disproved the accusations that have been made against the detained journalists", the watchdog said in a statement.

Gold Stutters then Blasts towards $1700
Thanks to the Bundesbank and a request from one of the major political parties in The Netherlands gold was able to shrug off the take down on the COMEX open yesterday in conjunction with better than expected initial unemployment claims report. After selling down to $1666.65 in the futures market gold took about an hour to fight back and then took the shorts to the woodshed after the release of the Philly Fed report at 10am.
Gold is trading at $1690 currently, well above the level I believe is the real breakout level in this current short-term trading range. There have been two taps this morning at $1695 and a third will likely take that out as well. Again, today is Options expiration day so a number of things are possible. Honestly, yesterday feels like someone made a huge tactical mistake thinking they could take gold down before OE and make a killing only to get killed in the process.
GLD is trading over its option pain number and traditionally when that happens one month the next month is a bloodbath. But, then again, these are not normal times. And if theprisoner's dilemma of the modern financial house of cards is beginning to teeter then anything is possible in this next phase of the gold drama.
Watch the convergence of the Euro and Gold as opposed to them trading opposite each other. if that trend is re-asserting itself and the division between the Fed and the ECB is widening than the rest of Q1 could be very interesting indeed.

Top 2-Line winger/center: The Avs really need a couple more goal scorers to fill out their top 2 lines. Wolski is nice, and can fill in, but he's still a sophomore and may not develop. Svatos seems to have lost it, and the Avs can't count on him to be able to fill those roles. Maybe one of those guys can fill the role, but depending on both would be a disaster. Luckily the Avs have money to spend and can get a big time scorer to help out. While a winger would be ideal it would be easy enough to convert a center, like Statsny, to a winger to make room for a top flight center.

For the love of god do not sign under any circumstances: Todd Bertuzzi, Alexei Yashin
Defensemen: Ideally this would be a physical, hard hitting, stay-at-home type. I don't think it's any coincidence that the Avs got better when Sauer played physical and Finger was called up. They really set a physical tone for the rest of the season. There aren't too many of these Defensemen on the market, so the pickings are pretty slim. Failing that, another Power Play point-man who isn't terrible in his own end would be nice to have too.

Checking Line forward/PKer: The Avs don't have a good true checking line, and I think this really hurt them last season. Not only were they unable to stop teams from coming behind sometimes, but players like Sakic and Stastny were working the PK too often instead of resting. It's nice that they are great 2-way players, but I think putting them out there too often may reduce their offensive effectiveness. A good checking forward to take some of that defensive pressure off would be nice.

Another (less expensive) goal scoring winger: Yes this might push both Wolski and Svatos to the 4th line, and maybe even off of the 4th line all-together (Svatos). Wolski struggled a little last season towards the end and I don't feel too confident in his ability to hold up for an entire season. (I don't know why I'm so down on Wolski lately. Maybe it's the Free agent $ blinding me). With injuries likely to happen and the normal shuffling that can occur I am sure Wolski will get plenty of time to play won the top 2 lines. As for Svatos, I don't really know why the made him a qualifying offer, because he seems to be the odd man out no matter what. However with Wolski these guys should be picked carefully, and really it's a luxury not a necessity.
Dainius Zubris
Pascal DuPuis
Yanic Perreault
And honestly if one of these 3 can't be signed, for a decent price, then I think Wolski would be just fine in there.
Ideally the Avs would role out a lineup that looked like
(Svatos,Parker, one other)
(Finger, Kumisky)
And frankly, I would be happy with that lineup headed into next season. It's 4 lines deep, with a decent defense and a good young puckstopper in the back.
