Thanks, Wishmaster92.
The results show something more than subtle.
What you're going to see in our screenshots and videos are a variety of results, sometimes indistinguishable, and other times enough difference present to raise an eyebrow. When playing at 60 FPS without the lock enabled, you will encounter shadows with high aliasing (blocky edges), and sometimes even shadows missing altogether. With the 30 FPS lock enabled, the edges of shadows are much smoother, and shadows will appear on certain surfaces.
In my opinion, I think Naughty Dog wanted to incorporate the higher quality shadows by default, but simply couldn't get the game to run smoothly enough, opting to lower the intensity of shadow quality when running at 60 FPS. After all, in the case of PC games shadows are usually the first thing to go when performance takes a dive.
During my playtime with the 30 FPS lock disabled, I didn't necessarily notice the blocky shadows during gameplay. The only occasions where they caught my attention is when I was looking for them, or a shadow was flickering (uncommon).

CALGARY – Canada's battle with the European Union over a proposal to label oil sands crude dirty is set to intensify as the Alberta-based industry eyes exports from the country's East Coast.
[np_storybar title="Oil sands crude not as expensive to produce as it used to be" link="http://business.financialpost.com/2013/08/19/oil-sands-crude-not-as-expensive-to-produce-as-it-used-to-be/"%5DAlberta's oil sands, long regarded as an expensive sandbox for energy giants, are more competitive with global sources of crude than recent cost blowouts may lead investors to believe. Continue reading.
Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver has played down the likelihood of a formal complaint to the World Trade Organization against the bloc's so-called fuel quality directive, which gives oil sands-derived fuel a greenhouse gas intensity value that is 22% higher than conventional crudes.
But Ottawa is in the process of commissioning a study to probe the methodology behind the EU measure. It wants to determine whether data used by the EU to assess the life-cycle emissions of various crudes, including Alberta bitumen, is "sufficiently robust". In a report expected Sept. 27, the federal government is seeking a "more accurate" GHG intensity value for Alberta's chief export, according to an online bid solicitation.
The move could bolster a WTO complaint against the EU, said John Boscariol, partner in the Toronto office of McCarthy Tetrault and an international trade expert.
By challenging the science behind the directive, "it makes this look more like a trade barrier. It makes it look like they're discriminating against Canadian products," he said in an interview.
"I think that type of groundwork would be absolutely necessary for the WTO case. Without it, I don't think Canada would be ready to make that WTO challenge, because I think the EU has already been very clear that they're doing this on the basis of their environmental concerns."
Ottawa is poking holes in the EU measure just as Canada's oil industry pivots east. Enbridge Inc. has proposed reversing the flow on its Line 9 pipeline through Ontario to bring Western crude as far as Quebec. Calgary-based TransCanada Corp. has proposed a $12-billion pipeline big enough to send 1.1 million barrels a day of Western crude to the country's East Coast, where it plans to build a new marine terminal.
While Canadian officials have been lobbying for years against the EU directive, those efforts were "as much about perception as anything else, wanting to ensure the image of oil sands production was not negatively affected," said Larry Herman, counsel at Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP in Toronto.
"Now there's a greater likelihood that Canadian oil sands will at some point be exported to Europe, and so it's perhaps doubly important to continue to do what we can to prevent that fuel directive coming into play," he said.
It makes it look like they're discriminating against Canadian products
Separately, Canadian trade minister Ed Fast said Wednesday negotiations with the European Union would re-launch next month in a final push to complete a comprehensive deal.
"Early in September we will be re-engaging and there's no reason to believe that with a little bit of flexibility on both sides that we can't resolve the remaining outstanding issues," Mr. Fast said.
"There's only a very small handful of outstanding issues and we're trying to bring some creative approaches to try to bridge those gaps."
He gave no specifics but sources have said the major stumbling blocks include the EU's reluctance to allow more access for Canadian beef and pork, outstanding issues on drug patents, financial services and provincial procurements.
"We're getting very close," Mr. Fast said in a telephone interview from Brunei, where the minister was engaged in two other trade-liberalizing initiatives with the 10-nation ASEAN pact and the 12-country TransPacific Partnership.
The Asia-Pacific region includes some of the world's fastest-growing major economies, while the European Union represents major countries such as Germany, Italy and the U.K. with long trading relationships with Canada.

RIVERSIDE – Foreclosure sales in Riverside County plummeted last month as fewer properties ended up on the auction block, according to a real estate tracking firm.
864 repossessed properties were sold in the county in September, compared with 1,141 in August, according to Bay Area-based ForeclosureRadar.com's monthly "Foreclosure Report." That's about a 24 percent drop.
The county's foreclosure sales were down 36 percent from a year ago, when 1,300 homes were auctioned off, figures showed.
In California, sales of distressed properties fell 18 percent in September and were down 30 percent compared to the same period in 2011.
According to ForeclosureRadar.com founder Sean O'Toole, foreclosure activity declined because banks were either adjusting to new state and federal regulations that require greater vetting of past-due mortgages or holding off on initiating foreclosure proceedings.
"The continued decline in foreclosure starts clearly shows that even though servicers are … clear to move forward with foreclosures, they are still in no rush to foreclose on the majority of delinquent borrowers," O'Toole said.
Riverside County records second-highest foreclosure rate in stae
RIVERSIDE – Riverside County had the second-highest foreclosure rate in the state during the third quarter of this year, a real estate tracking firm reported today.
A total 10,997 mortgage default notices, auction sale notices and bank repossessions were recorded countywide between July and September 2012, translating to 1 in 73 households in some stage of foreclosure, according to Irvine-based RealtyTrac.
The number of filings was 9 percent less than the total recorded in the second quarter and 24 percent below the year-ago quarter, data showed.
San Joaquin County was No. 1, with 1 in 67 households in default; San Bernardino County was just behind Riverside, with 1 in 74; Solano County was No. 4, with 1 in 78; and Stanislaus County was No. 5, with 1 in 79.
Nationally, 531,576 properties slipped into foreclosure during the third quarter, a 5 percent drop compared to the prior quarter and 13 percent less than the same period a year ago, according to figures.
California was No. 3 in the nation in foreclosure volume between July and September, with 109,369 filings. The figure was 8 percent below the tally in the second quarter and 28 percent lower than in the third quarter of 2011, according to RealtyTrac. One in 125 households were in default statewide.
Florida was No. 1 in nationwide foreclosure activity, with 1 in 117 households delinquent on their loans; Arizona was No. 2 with 1 in 124; Illinois was just behind California at No. 4 with 1 in 126; and Georgia was No. 5 with 1 in 151.

Though Jeremy Cohen tried to hide it, I suspect his heart sunk just a little bit when we suggested he give a talk titled 'Is it really all about the glycocalyx?' at smaccGOLD.
This talk is the best explanation of the Revised Starling model and the role of the glycocalyx you are ever likely to come across. Furthermore, Jeremy puts these ideas into the context of our specialty's key randomised control trials — including what we know about fluid resuscitation, ANP, albumin, antithrombin III and steroid administration in the critically ill.
Is this a must listen?
You bet.

FanDuel is operated out of New York and the site does accept players located in the US legally, with the exception of those residing in the states of Montana, Arizona, Louisiana, Iowa, and Washington.

One bonus FanDuel.com has for players to enjoy is the initial deposit bonus which is 100% up to $200. The deposit bonus at FanDuel is released at a 4% rate of the contest. There are also a number of weekly bonuses for players to involve themselves in.
When players refer others to the site, they can also be given a bonus. The referral bonus allows the player to earn a share of their friend's entry fees for the real money games they participate in.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for EPOCH, Madison, NJ, USA
I am currently the board secretary of this after school program for developmentally disabled students ages 6 to 21. We meet at the Madison Area YMCA 3 days a week for socialization with typical volunteer students from participating high schools in our area. Both groups are enriched by our program. In our 37 year history we have brought forth an awareness of people with special needs and fostered kindness and a helpful attitude in others. Our disabled participants have gained life skills and friendships that endure. My 10 years of working with this community based program have been very meaningful and fulfilling. I am looking forward to the future of this organization.

Read an excerpt: From Oral to Written
From Oral to Written is a study of Native literature published in Canada between 1980 and 2010, a catalogue of amazing books that sparked the embers of a dormant voice. Leading Aboriginal author Tomson Highway surveys the first wave of Native writers published in Canada, highlighting the most gifted authors and the best stories they have told, offering non-Native readers access to reconciliation and understanding, and at the same time engendering among Native readers pride in a stellar body of work. On Meta-Talon, read a selection from Highway's prologue.Thursday August 10, 2017 in Meta-Talon

Joe Ferguson likely will remain Chicago's inspector general, at least for now.
Ferguson will be re-appointed for another four-year term, but the Chicago Sun-Times reports he is expected to step down after next summer.
In a statement to the Sun-Times, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said he is "pleased to accept the Inspector General's offer to stay on through next summer and complete the important work currently under way."
Ferguson said in a statement he'll move on to other things next year but thanked the mayor for agreeing "to allow me to continue to work on wrapping up some unfinished projects, most notably achieving Shakman compliance and fully implementing the administration's ethics reform bill."
The two haven't always been on such agreeable terms.
In 2011 Ferguson said he can't do his job effectively because of "serious understaffing" by the city and lack of access to information.
"The city has never permitted the IGO to fully staff the unit, even as authorized by its budget," Ferguson said in a statement. His office had a similar fight with Emanuel's predecessor Richard Daley.
Among Ferguson's Chicago findings, he suggested in a 2011 report that recipients of city financial help were directed to donate money to Maggie Daley's charity, After School Matters.
He suggested earlier this year that nearly 300 Chicago Police positions should be converted to civilian positions and questioned in May the locations of Chicago's red-light cameras.

Justin Bieber's baby mama's lawyer has taken aim at the real father alleging that he is guilty of the same accusations he made against Mariah Yeater.
The father, Robbie Powell, accused Yeater of exploiting their son for media attention in order to gain money last week.
All indications point to Powell being the father with texts coming from Yeater herself that said he was. According to TMZ, Powell has stated he would be more than willing to take a DNA test to prove the truth because he was tired of watching Yeater use the child for publicity.
"If Robbie Powell 'actually' believes and claims he is the father, I suggest he contact me directly. Litigating this case in the media and bypassing Mariah's legal team only perpetuates the three-ring circus and accomplishes nothing as I see it," said Yeater's lawyer, Jeffrey Leving.
TMZ reported several media outlets are offering money to hear Powell's side of the story, and he is strongly considering.
Despite Justin Bieber taking the DNA test two weeks ago, Yeater has yet to be found to compare with the baby's DNA.
Leving said his client was not hiding and stated the accuser would take a test to prove her claims true.
The lawyer also said Bieber should have been under scrutiny while taking the test, and a member of Yeater's team should have been present.
Bieber said he plans to sue the woman for her false accusations, but is not looking for monetary gain.
A source close to the Bieber camp told the Chicago Sun-Times that the singer was adamant about getting an apology.
"This is not about money," the source said. "Clearly Mariah doesn't have anything. It's about getting a very public, widely televised apology - showing the world that people cannot subject celebrities to things like this simply because they are famous."

Got worries about a test? Write them off.
Your entire future depends on this exam. Score high, and you'll get into the college of your dreams. Score low, and . . . well, it's best not to think about that right now. And yet it's all you can think about. Your mind goes blank. You're choking.
You might have been better off writing down your feelings first, according to research by psychologists Gerardo Ramirez and Sian Beilock of the University of Chicago. Their study, published online this month in Science, shows that students who spend just 10 minutes writing about their worries before a test score higher than those who write about something else or who write nothing.
With rewards such as college admissions and scholarships riding on one-shot exams, nervous test-takers are at a distinct disadvantage, says Beilock, the author of "Choke," a book about performance anxiety. "If we know the science behind test anxiety, we can adapt a short, punchy intervention to help students perform at their potential," he says.
In the study, the researchers asked college students to take a math exam covering material they had never seen. The students then were given a second exam and told that they would receive money if they passed. They were also told that they had a partner who had already done well and who would be let down if they failed, and that they would be videotaped while taking the test so that their teachers and friends could watch.
Before the second test, some students were asked to write about their emotions, and the others were told to sit quietly. The students who aired their anxieties showed an average 5 percent improvement on the second test; the others appeared to feel the pressure, and their scores dropped by 12 percent.
Apparently, it wasn't just the distraction of writing that helped. Students who were told to write about a past experience or about the material they thought would be on the test did worse than those who addressed their feelings.
Armed with these data, the researchers took the technique to the field: ninth-grade students taking final exams that could affect their college admissions. Here, too, participants who wrote about their feelings before the test performed significantly better than those who wrote about another topic. The students who had previously reported the most test anxiety showed the most improvement.

Tameika Dorman, a former BET employee, has filed a lawsuit against the network claiming that she was fired for reporting sexual harassment to her supervisors.
According to AllHipHop.com, Dorman says that in 2009 she was subject to sexual harassment from a male camera operator named Derek Clarke. During an editing session with Clarke, he allegedly repeatedly played a taped segment of Dorman walking up a set of stairs in a skirt. When Dorman asked why Clarke was doing this, the lawsuit claims "Clarke grabbed and repeatedly rubbed his crotch, began to moan and said it was because he loved her butt, that she was sexy, and that she did not know what he was going to do [to] her."
When Dorman reported the incident to her supervisors, they told her she wouldn't have to work with Clarke again. However, while working on a segment on rapper Nicki Minaj, Clarke once again was paired with Dorman. She complained to Human Resources, and according to the lawsuit, Dorman was subsequently removed from producing shows and unlawfully fired.

3) Not everything in the original game has been ported over. Some NPC schedules are still missing, and there apparently some issue with the flying carpet that if you go over certain islands, it triggers doors in a dungeon below and breaks the game.
Its amusing that modern games are just now beginning to recapture some of the elements that made Ultima VII so immersive at the time.

MINEOLA, NY -- It's rare when Chaminade's Ryan Lukacovic goes two games without scoring a goal. Three games without finding the back of the net? That would be unthinkable for the Virginia-bound junior attack.
But with the score tied late in the fourth quarter of Thursday's tense Chaminade-St. Anthony's game, Lukacovic admitted he was thinking about his drought. "I knew I hadn't put one in for a couple of games. I was in a little slump," Lukacovic said.
He found a cure. Starting from behind the net, Lukacovic darted left, got a step on his defender and scored unassisted on a low bullet with 2:07 left. Slump over. Game over. The Flyers outlasted the Friars, 6-5, yesterday in a CHSAA game before an overflow crowd at Chaminade that filled the bleachers and ringed the fence around the field on all sides.
"St. Anthony's defense did a great job slowing me down," said Lukacovic, who had an assist in the first quarter when five Flyers scored to build a 5-1 lead. "I made a quick move, saw the goalie come off the line and I shot to the inside close pipe. It was an awesome feeling."
No matter what the score is early, whenever these two rivals play, the games seem destined for late drama. "It's Chaminade and St. Anthony's. There are always peaks and valleys," said Chaminade coach Jack Moran. "No one is shutting anyone out."
Chaminade (4-0, 2-0), led by defensemen Brian Dunne, Brian Porter and Tim Muller and goalie Danny Fowler (13 saves) shut down St. Anthony's early. But Fowler knew that was a mirage. "I bet I've played against their guys at least one game every summer. We know each other so well," the Duke-bound Fowler said. "When they started stopping us, I knew they'd come back."
With goalie Eric Caliendo (17 saves) filling in admirably for ill Kieran Burke, St. Anthony's (2-1 league) held the Flyers scoreless in the second and third quarters and netted four straight goals. Brian Sherlock scored three and Sean McDonagh ripped one home unassisted from the left wing to make it 5-5 with 6:07 left.
That's when Fowler delivered a couple of big saves and watched, delightedly, when Lukacovic delivered his huge goal. "There was a lot of relief after that," Fowler said.
Lukacovic felt the same way.

Ram is getting ready for a press conference, wherein he plans to inform the world about his wife Priya's (Sakshi Tanwar) innocence. Ram tells his mother that he has waited for five years for this moment and now he can finally tell the whole world that his wife was innocent.
In Dubai, Priya tells Daija that she feels bored without being able to do anything and Daija tells her to go to study room, pick a book and read it. Priya happens to come across a manuscript titled 'Bade Acche Lagte Hain'. When she questions Daija, she gets to know that the author Anjaan whom she respects a lot is none other than Rajat himself.
On the other hand, Rajat's lawyer tells him that all legal transactions is done under the name of Priya Sharma and not Pooja. Rajat is confused and wonders why Priya never revealed her true name.
Ram visits Priya's father and hands him a bottle of whiskey and tells him that he wants to drink with him. Priya's father says, "I never drunk after I got married. I bought whiskey during Priya's wedding thinking I might get a chance, but I didn't." Ram informs him about the good news (of the press conference). Both are very happy and celebrate the occasion.
Both families, Vikram and Neha are at the press conference and everyone is excited. Ayesha goes to Ram's mamaji and asks what happened in Dubai. Mamaji asks her to relax since Priya has no plans to return to India.
At the press conference, Ram announces the good news and informs the press that the court has declared Priya Ram Kapoor innocent and added that it is his brother Sid who was responsible for all this.

Fun Under the Sun: My 2013 Holiday in a Camping2013-08-15 1 Share Tweet
My favorite holidays are those in which I can live outdoors! For this reason I choose preferably between two options: a bicycle tour or to stay in a camping. This year, for my July holidays, I chose camping by a beautiful seaside pine forest located in South of Italy. Just watch!
If there's one thing I love about a camping holiday, it's the great freedom that I can have. I can walk, take a lunch or a dinner, or sit at the bar wearing only a swimsuit, without having to change my clothes many times a day, as usually required in hotels!
For this summer, I chose to spend ten days in a camping site surrounded by a thick pine woods, located at the beginning of the Campania region, near the border with Lazio, in the town of Baia Domizia.
This campsite has very large places to host motorhomes, caravans and tents; inside you can also find many mobile homes and bungalows. Two years ago, I choose a large bungalow!
In the picture above, you can see the spacious veranda of my apartment, with two bedrooms, a lounge with a kitchen and a bathroom.
The camping has four swimming pools, including one with a Jacuzzi and one for swimmers (the rectangular one) of 25 meters length. I love to swim, so every morning I spent most of my hours in the pool, alternating swimming and yoga.
Everyday, shortly before noon, I spend an hour at the beach of the campsite (very large and never crowded), to sunbathe and to enjoy the gentle sea breeze.
In the company of my LC-Wide loaded with a slide Agfa CT Precisa 100 (cross processed), I took some photos of life at the beach, as some nice street vendors and other activities organized by the animators, such as a darts tournament!
This is a pretty hot and muggy summer, due to the presence of some African anticyclones. For this reason the soccer, basketball and beach volley fields were almost always deserted. People preferred to stay at the beach or in the swimming pool, or take a walk in the pine woods!
Even the solarium, hot and sunny, was used little!
After an afternoon at the beach, in the evening I went to the center of the camp, where there is a bar, an ice cream shop and a supermarket. Here I bought my supplies of food and water, always after have tasted a good ice cream! This area is decorated with lovely plants, flowers and small lakes where goldfish and turtles swim.
After dinner, village life was concentrated again near the sea, where there's a large space with an outdoor bar, the animators set up some fun little show. However, I preferred to spend the rest of the evening walking through the fresh and quiet pine trees!

Andy Kennedy and Emilie Rogers: Recycle drop-off spots
August 29, 2014
We at Yampa Valley Sustainability Council, in partnership with Routt County, Waste Management, Twin Enviro and the city of Steamboat Springs, have spent the past two years struggling to provide adequate options for the high demand on our public recycling drop-off locations. As you may know, in January, Waste Management had to begin charging for recycling drop off at their Downhill Drive location, due to the increasing expense that recycling has incurred.
While these recyclable products can be sold (plastic, paper, cardboard, glass, metals), the value of those products is extremely low (and still dropping), the process requires manpower, trucking/transportation and other expensive overhead, and therefore recycling can be two to five times more expensive than the disposal of waste in a traditional landfill.
But recycling is still the right thing to do. It helps with: protecting our environment, reducing our impact on the planet and preserving our beautiful open spaces for generations to come.
We and our partners appreciate your patience while we come up with an alternative plan for the now-discontinued "Green Machines" at Safeway.
YVSC, Routt County, the city Steamboat Springs and LBA Associates are currently in the middle of an extensive feasibility study on traditional recycling. The study will assess local and regional markets of these products, overall and specific costs for the complete processes of recycling from collection to distribution, resulting in information to help us develop a comprehensive plan for infrastructure, processing, mechanisms, and policies.
In the meantime, we appreciate you looking into the option for curbside recycling, or using either the Waste Management (Downhill Drive) or Twin Enviro (Milner Landfill) drop-off locations. Both will have a nominal fee.

In his column this week, New York Times media critic David Carr took on News Corp. head honcho Rupert Murdoch and his recent pronouncement that all of his newspaper and television news channels would soon charge for access to their online content.
"Quality journalism is not cheap, and an industry that gives away its content is simply cannibalizing its ability to produce good reporting," Murdoch said during News Corp.'s earnings call last week. "The digital revolution has opened many new and inexpensive distribution channels but it has not made content free. We intend to charge for all our news Web sites."
Although Murdoch boasted that, if his model was successful, other media companies would follow his lead, Carr pointed out that many publications have already tried pay models, with varying levels of success. Instead, Carr questioned Murdoch's level of commitment to his plan:
"Setting aside the execution risk of such a plan, it's difficult to tell how serious Mr. Murdoch is, given his history of grand statements that were only that. Perhaps he was making an unsubtle effort to change the subject during a bleak earnings call for News Corporation…"
Carr also points out (as we did last week) that there is a difference between paying for the content of some of Murdoch's properties, like The Wall Street Journal, versus those considered more low brow, like The New York Post or even Fox News' Web site:
"The problem, both for Mr. Murdoch and the industry at large, is that it's dangerous to generalize the success of The Wall Street Journal or The Financial Times with paid subscriptions on the Web to other media properties. Those newspapers contain useful data, with a network of alerts and specialized features that make them extremely valuable to people who need up-to-the-minute information to do business.
"While I am a sucker for a Page Six item revealing that Paris Hilton has achieved détente with a former frenemy, I'm not about to pay for that information. Much of the news that News Corporation produces is already a commodity by the time it hits the Web."
Carr's not alone. Based on the (very unscientific) poll we posted last week, 88 percent of respondents said they wouldn't pay to read the Post. Although we're fans of P6, we can't imagine paying just for the option to read it online everyday. If it's more than the cost of the paper on the newsstand, we'll find a way to get up and walk to the corner bodega. Come to think of it, if everyone feels like us, then Murdoch's plan might not be a bad way to save print journalism.
Murdoch has been talking about saving papers in one way or another for a long time. Below we have a video of him from June, discussing how all papers will be digital within 10 years. By then, let's hope he's figured out a good paywall system.

Victoria Beckham, the pop singer and former Spice Girl, spent two days 'living the life' of a destitute child rag-picker in Peru last week.
Victoria, 30, who along with her football star husband David is thought to be worth around £65 million, flew to Lima, the capital of Peru, and spent 36 hours in the poverty-stricken Las Lomas de Carabayllo district on a project run by a British charity, Childhope UK.
A spokesman for the charity confirmed she had visited the project, which cares for slum children forced to root through a massive municipal rubbish dump to earn a living, but said that it could give no details of the visit. A film of her stay in Peru will be broadcast as part of Comic Relief in July.
Cynics will claim that Victoria was not solely motivated by a desire to help marginalised urban communities in Peru. She has been mocked recently over her flagging singing career and criticised about her role in her husband's alleged affair, which was blamed by many on his wife's decision not to move to Madrid with him. Last week it was revealed that the Beckhams and their two children will all live in the Spanish capital next season.
However, Childhope said that it was very pleased that Victoria had visited. 'It is very useful when someone of Victoria Beckham's fame takes the trouble to draw attention to profound and complex problems,' a spokeswoman told The Observer.
Victoria is understood to have stayed, under a false name, at a local hotel on her one night in Peru. Local reporters became aware of her presence and paparazzi chased her car to the airport when she left. 'It was complete mayhem,' one said. 'We never have people like that coming here. They all think it is far too dangerous. The kids at the project were more surprised than anybody.'
The Las Lomas de Carabayllo district is on the outskirts of Lima about 20 miles from the city centre and comprises a series of small houses established on an old rubbish site. There is no electricity or running water and in the summer the temperature reaches 40C.
Healthcare is non-existent and many of the children and adults suffer from stomach problems, bronchial infections, cuts and skin diseases. Few go to school and there is also a constant risk of violence with many gangs active. The district is so poor that people have to carefully guard their stores of rubbish.

Rakhine refugees live in camps and are afraid to return home while Rohingya fleeing by boat are turned back by Bangladesh.

Tensions appear to have cooled in western Burma's Rakhine state following clashes between ethnic Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims, but tens of thousands displaced by the violence face aid shortages and remain afraid to return home.
Troops patrolled the streets of the state capital Sittwe Friday, where weekly Muslim prayers were cancelled and a dawn-to-dusk curfew remains in place as the sectarian strife left at least 29 people dead since June 8.
Nearly 32,000 people have been displaced and are living in 37 camps that have been set up for both Rakhine and Rohingya across the state, officials said.
North of the capital, people fleeing the fighting are straining resources in Yathetaung township, where 12,000 people, mostly Rakhine Buddhists, are living, a local official said.
Hla Myint, township chairman of the Rakhine Nationalities Development Party (RNDP), told RFA Friday that aid is being sent to neighboring Buthitaung and Maungdaw townships, but not to the 14 camps in Yathetaung.
"The help hasn't arrived in Yathetaung yet," adding that there had only been enough aid and supplies for the first 5,000 of the displaced.
"We were able to help them at the beginning, but not anymore. We need things like sheets, bedding, and other items."
"There is no camp opened by authorities. All refugee camps are opened and run by local people and groups."
"We use schools and Buddhist temples for camps, and have sent some 3,000 refugees to private homes. Some refugees are in the villages," he said.
According to official estimates Thursday, nearly 2,600 homes, some 1,200 of them ethnic Rakhine and some 1,300 Rohingya, had been destroyed in the violence.
The U.N. refugee agency, which sent monitors to the region this week, said the need for food, shelter, and medical attention for the displaced could be "considerable."
Some Rohingya fleeing the violence by boat to neighboring Bangladesh, already burdened with about 300,000 Rohingya living in its poor southeast, have been turned back, the agency said.
Urging Bangladesh not to block the boats, the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said in a statement Friday it was "deeply concerned" about "dramatic scenes" of boatloads of refugees.
"The U.N. refugee agency has first-hand, credible accounts of boats from Myanmar not being enabled to access Bangladeshi territory. These reports indicate women, children, and some wounded are on board," the statement said.
"There are now a number of boats drifting in the mouth of the Naf River with desperate people on board in need of water, food, and medical care."
Decades of discrimination in Burma and elsewhere have left the Rohingya, of whom some 800,000 live in Rakhine, stateless and viewed by the United Nations as among the most persecuted minorities in the world.
Aside from Bangladesh, an estimated 30,000 Rohingya live in Malaysia, where several thousand turned out for a protest near the Burmese embassy in the capital Kuala Lumpur Friday, demanding an immediate end to the violence in Rakhine.
Foreign assistance
The Burmese government regards the Rohingya as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh even though many of them have lived in the country for generations.
U.S. and other Western nations were monitoring how the Burmese government was handling assistance to victims in the aftermath of the Rakhine violence, which has drawn worldwide attention to the Rohingya.
Following a meeting with U.S. officials on aid for Rakhine state, RNDP Chairman Aye Maung told RFA that his party thinks development assistance from the U.N. in the state has been unevenly biased towards Muslims and has left out Rakhine people.
"All the money they spent went to only one religious group [Muslims], and Buddhist Rakhine got four to five percent at most of all humanitarian assistance there," he said, after discussing future plans for assistance with U.S. Embassy's Charge D'Affaires Michael Thurston Thursday.
"If this kind of differentiation based on race and religion continues as it was in the past, we will lead the protest against the U.N. program when U.N. offices open in Rakhine. We also discussed citizenship law and immigration law with him."
"We need to look into [the ethnic strife] deeply and deal with it skillfully," he said. "We cannot say the problem will be solved merely by shaking hands."
Thurston also met with leaders of five Muslim groups in Rangoon to discuss the unrest in Rakhine.
"He asked what kind of humanitarian assistance we need and how he can help. We talked about the food needed there. He said he would inform Washington and get the help as soon as possible," Burma Muslim League secretary Kyaw Khin told RFA.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Meanwhile, Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi arrived Friday in Oslo, where she will pick up her 1991 Nobel Peace Prize, following an address to the Swiss parliament.
The 66-year-old democracy campaigner is on a tour of Europe, her second trip abroad after having spent most of the past two decades under house arrest.
At a press conference on the first stop of her trip in Geneva, she said that "the most important lesson" from the Rakhine conflict was "the need for rule of law," which she added was also key to resolving the numerous armed ethnic conflicts in the country emerging from decades of harsh military rule.

Bring on the Bandits. The Toronto Rock warmed up for its much-anticipated first-place showdown against the Buffalo Bandits (8-3) next Saturday at HSBC Arena with another impressive performance against a strong opponent last night.
The Rock (7-3) dominated the second half in an 18-10 win over the Arizona Sting (6-5) before a season-high crowd of 18,173 at the Air Canada Centre, giving Toronto five wins in its past six National Lacrosse League games.
The Rock's only loss in that span was a 14-12 defeat against the Bandits in a thrilling game between the top two teams in the NLL at the ACC March 4. The season series is tied at 1-1 as the Rock beat the Bandits 15-13 in the 2005 opener for both teams Jan. 7 in Buffalo.
"(Next Saturday) has been circled since we lost last time against them," Rock forward Colin Doyle said of the Bandits, who beat the Minnesota Swarm 13-11 last night and face the Rochester Knight-hawks (6-4) tonight.
"We have to take that series if we want a shot at first (in the five-team East Division). We can't give games away now, especially in our division. That one is huge for us. So far, without a doubt (it's the biggest game of the season)."
Locked in a 6-6 tie at halftime last night, the Rock busted out in the second half and outscored the Sting 12-4. Rock general manager/coach Terry Sanderson was animated in the dressing room at halftime, pointing out that the team had healthy bodies ready to take the place of current starters.
"Players started listening to coaches. That's what we're here for," Sanderson said. "They've got to listen. They just decided to listen to the instructions ... They play, we coach."
One player who listened was Blaine Manning, who notched all of his game-high eight points (four goals, four assists) in the second half.
"I'll be the first to admit I was embarrassing in the first half," Manning said. "I probably wasn't hustling as hard as I should have and standing flat-footed. It seemed like I was always a step behind the play. But I came in here and Terry let me know I had a bad half. I thought about it and went out and tried to play harder."
Manning's back-to-back power-play goals in the third quarter broke a 9-9 tie and gave the Rock the lead for good. Goalie Bob Watson also stepped up after allowing four goals on the first eight shots he faced, outplaying Sting counterpart Mike Miron in crunch time.

Installation Tips
Each product is packaged with full installation instructions. This section is not intended to replace or supplant those instructions. This should simply provide supporting information to make a purchasing decision easier.
Tips are divided among the different types of lighting systems covered in this manual.
Modular Systems
A Typical LED Modular and Disc Installation Employing a Remote Power Supply In this installation the remote power supply is located in the back of the lower cabinet. Power supply cables from both sides of the sink travel through the wall to the lower area and into the power supply box. The power supply box is controlled by a typical 120V wall switch. On the left side, note the closeness with which the power supply cable has been installed to the underside edge of the cabinet. This will be less visible. Also, remember, if this is a new installation, the path of the power cord wire can be plotted prior to the installation of the drywall if a "fish line" or false wire is positioned in the wall. Pulling the power cord will be easier. The power cord can, of course be installed, but passing the plug end through the rear panel of the cabinet might be problematic when the cabinets are installed.
LED Disc Systems
The biggest challenge with some LED discs installation is hiding the wire. Following are a few tips for a more aesthetically pleasurable installation.
The Design Pro LED Disc is very small, but placing the wire out of sight can be a challenge. For inside cabinet installations, where it is very likely that the wires will be visible, drill the wire passage hole BEHIND the disc. Once the disc is installed, it will be almost impossible to see the wire exiting the mounting surface behind the disc.
The top of cabinets or the top of shelving generally cannot be seen. These areas are perfect for making wire connections. Pass the wire through a hole in the top of the mounting surface and any required cable, power supply or connection can be made above and out of sight.
Use this concept in undercabinet installations as well, but remember the wire will end up on the bottom of the lower cabinet shelf. A false bottom may be needed to protect the wire from abrasion as the shelf is used. Do not use this method if the wire exposed to this wear. Dishware, glassware, canned goods or boxed goods, typically stored in a cabinet should not be allowed to rub against the electric wire. Wire should be protected.
Interconnect Cable Notch
When connecting a modular light fixture from one undercabinet area to the next, it is likely that the cabinet dividers will need to be notched to accommodate the interconnect cable. There are a few different methods to notch the cabinet divider.
Create a simple tunnel in the wood divider. The cable diameter on the LED systems is 1/4" in diameter. The tunnel can be created by simply drilling a 5/16" hole very close to the edge of the wood and chiseling out the remains.
A more complex method of creating the pass hole involves a second step after the first suggestion. The 5/16" diameter hole is drilled 1/16" higher. After drilling the hole is chiseled out into a tunnel shape, then a router is used to create a flat area counter-bored below. This flat area will accommodate a shim that covers the wire hole and makes for a more finished look, when viewed from below.
A third idea involves the notching out of a section of the cabinet divider. Once removed, a pass hole is cut out of the top section of the removed piece and the removed piece is positioned back with the interconnect cable pushed against the upper side of the cabinet and fully out of sight. This notch will create the cleanest look, but it is the most involved and should only be done by an accomplished cabinet maker.
This method also works well when passing interconnect cables through the wall. In these cases, the plug head must remain, so the pass hole must be large enough to allow the plug to move through the wall. By removing and replacing a section of the wood, the large hole patch can be covered and the installation looks clean and professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Radio Interference
Q ¡V Is it possible that radio waves will cause interference with under-cabinet lights?
A ¡V It is possible and is rarely reported.
Q ¡V I am experiencing radio interference with the cabinet lighting that includes a transformer (LED, 12V Xenon or Fluorescent.) What can be done?
A - The magnetic fields created by transformers sometimes interfere with the magnetic fields used to drive radio waves. Unfortunately, there are thousands of combinations of wavelengths and trying to determine which two will interfere is next to impossible. Here are a few things that can be done:
The most serious interference is caused with AM radio signals. Switch to FM, if possible.
Radio and Transformer on the same circuit will also heighten the possibility. If possible, move one.
Physical proximity will cause a higher likelihood of inference. Move the radio farther away or reposition the radio, if possible.
Are you certain it is the lighting? Many items in the kitchen have transformers. Even the phone charger emits magnetic waves. It might be something else or a combination of both.
Try a filter. A number of commercially available filters are designed to reduce the affects of radio wave interference.
12V Xenon Bright Disc Power
Q ¡V The higher wattage 12V Xenon Bright Disc Power Supplies are actually combinations of 60W transformers. Can I wire the individual 60W units together to achieve a higher single transformer power?
A ¡V No. Both of the transformers are marked and instruction sheet state "Do not interconnect output terminations." These are class 2 transformers and run at the limiting class 2 current of 5 Amps. If these are interconnected...
1. Voids Class 2 rating
2. Voids UL listing
3. Voids Kichler Puck warranty - must be used with Kichler Class 2 power supply.
4. Likely to either fry a transformer because of the internal feedback or fry the light fixtures.
UL has established a 5A maximum on a Class 2 system. The UL listing we have for the fixtures ties them to a Class 2 power supply and therefore the 5A max. for the fixtures.
Q ¡V How do others offer Puck lighting that can be powered by more than a 60 watt maximum power supply?
A ¡V There are a number of reasons.
They may not be offering a Class 2 system "h If they are running a 24V system, then each circuit could be 120 watts "h The units may not be covered by a UL listing It may be necessary to consult the other vendors.
Kichler Design Pro LED Remote Power
Q ¡V Why should a contractor use remote transformer layout in designing an under-cabinet installation?
A ¡V Remote transformers provide the cleanest, best looking installation to match the virtually invisible slenderness of our lighting fixtures. This visual aid can also be used by contractors to help their customer understand that remote power is not a complex task, just different. See the ¡§Modular Systems¡¨ sketch in the ¡§Installation Tips¡¨ section of this manual for an easy to visualize explanation of remote wiring.
Q ¡V Where and how are the Remote Power Supplies 12380BK (100w) and 12382BK (200w) installed?
A ¡V The remote power supplies are engineered to be direct wire and wall mounted only. They can be located in basements, attics, or any well ventilated area that is convenient.
Additional facts:
Input power is 120volt AC (alternating current) 50/60 Hz, output is 24volts DC (direct current). Terminal connection blocks are located inside housing for easy wiring connection.
You can connect up to two of the Power Supply leads (that bring power to the lighting fixtures) in each terminal block on the secondary side.
Helpful hint:
The 12382BK (200w) Power Supply contains two individual 100w power supplies inside housing. These operate independently and cannot be combined as one circuit. Both are UL listed Class II*.
Dimensions are:
12380BK 11¡¨H x 61/2¡¨ W x 3¡¨D
12382BK 151/2¡¨H x 11¡¨W x 3¡¨D Q ¡V How are Power Supply Leads 12344BK, WH & 12346BK, WH connected?
A ¡V The Power Supply Leads are available in two lengths to accommodate most installations. The cable is UL listed, is Class II* and suitable to be run behind walls (Please check local codes for compliance). Cable should only be used to connect to Power Supplies. The cable contains a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other end.
When installing your system it is best to decide which end will be connected to the first fixture or power switch. Fixtures have a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other end. Once this has been decided, the other end of the connector is cut off. This allows for both a smaller opening in the wall and for hard wiring the connector to the power supply. The plug end can not be connected to the power supply.
Installation know-how:
This will also allow you to cut the cable shorter if the full length is not needed and run through the wall much easier. (Cable is approximately .¡¨ diameter vs. plug¡Vend at 1¡¨dia.).
Helpful hint: "h Two Power Supply Leads can be connected if needed for extra long distance.
Q ¡V Can I use any interconnect cable 12341,12342,12343,12345 to connect to the Power Supplies?
A ¡V No. You cannot substitute any of the interconnect cables for the main power lead. These are specifically designed to a connection cable between under cabinet fixtures only.
These are a three (3) conductor wire cable (2 wires are for Positive and Negative 24 DC). The 3rd wire is a signal wire to control the light intensity when used with a Dimmer Switch 12355 or 12357BK, WH.
Helpful hint:
Interconnect cables are available in 4 lengths and available in black and white.
12341 is 9¡¨ in length
12342 is 14¡¨ in length
12343 is 21¡¨ in length
12345 is 10¡¦ (ft.) In length
Q - What does a Class 2 listing on a circuit mean?
A: An isolated secondary circuit involving not more than 42.2 volts (peak) with specific current limitations regarding wire size, de-rating factors, and over current protection. The voltage is limited to render the circuit safe from electrical shock, and the current is limited to render the circuit safe from fire.
The Class 2 circuit is the industry benchmark for electrical appliance safety.
Helpful hint:
Kichler Design Pro LED under-cabinet lighting is listed as a Class 2 system and cannot be used with any other product or system in the market today. It is an exclusive Kichler design.
Q - Under which UL standard is the Kichler Design Pro LED listed?
A - UL 2108 Plug-in Power Q ¡V What is the length of the plug-in Power Supplies?
A - Plug-in Power Supply 12383BK, WH is 48¡¨ in length.
Installation know-how:
The 12383BK, WH will accommodate up to 30 watts. A male connector is molded to the end of the cable.
Helpful hint:
A female to female accessory connector (12348BK, WH) is included in the carton when connecting two male ends is necessary.
Plug-in Power supplies are UL Listed Class II.*
Kichler Design Pro System Design
Q - Why and when would I use connectors 12348BK, WH or 12349 BK, WH?
A - The 12348 and 12349 were designed to make a connection between two male ends or two female ends. In the event the wrong end was cut-off the Power Supply Lead 12344BK, WH, instead of purchasing a new lead you can supply the end user with a connector (12348/ 12349) to make the connection.
Helpful hint:
These will also allow you to connect any two interconnects on the male to male or female to female ends.
Q - What is the purpose of the 4 Position Dimmer Switch 12355 BK, WH and is it required to the system?
A - The power switch 12355BK, WH was engineered to be a four position switch, including (1) Off, (2) Low, (3) Medium and (4) High. These settings are changed by gently tapping the switch to adjust the intensity of light. (This is why the 3rd wire on the interconnect cable is important).
Installation know-how:
The Power Switch 12355 BK, WH is not required, but it is a convenient feature to include. You can just operate on the primary side by using a standard on/off switch that is wired in before the Power Supply 12380 or 12382.
NOTE: By doing this you will only have one intensity of lighting; High.
Helpful hint:
Also note that if you have a standard on/off switch before the Power Supply and are using the 12355BK, WH as well you can set the desired intensity using the 12355 and then turn the system on or off using the standard switch. The 12350 has a built in memory that will leave the setting as it was originally set.
Installation know-how:
The 12356 BK, WH night light module can only be used with power switch 12355.
Q - Once I have all the Kichler LED fixtures linked together can I choose to turn one fixture off in the middle of a run?
A - Once all the fixtures are connected they will operate as one system. You cannot control one fixture independent of others on that same run.
Q - What combination or sizes should be used in a layout design?
A - Design Pro Series LED light fixtures are available in four sizes: 6¡¨, 12¡¨, 18¡¨ and 30¡¨. We recommend filling the full length of a cabinet with light, to avoid shadows or dark spots where no light is placed. Any combination of sizes can be used. The fixtures can be linked together for extended flow of product for any project. Super slim Design Pro Series ultra thin .¡¨ profile allows for easy concealment and versatile installation. Design Pro Series under cabinet light fixtures can be used below, above cabinets or under any shelf. The only limiter is the maximum wattage size of the transformer. More detailed information on selecting size can be found in the ¡§Planning A Modular System¡¨ section of this manual.
Q - How many 12347 3¡¦ LED Disc wire extensions can be connected together?
A - We have tested 8 cords for a total of 24 feet and found no reduction in lumen output or voltage drop. If this extreme length of 24 feet is not enough the system layout should be revisited for improved efficiency.
Installation know-how:
It is sometimes cleaner/easier to drill a hole near the perimeter of the disc and put the wire through the top or backside of the cabinet.
LED Dimming
Q - Can I use a standard or electronic wall dimmer to operate a Kichler LED Lighting system?
A - A standard wall dimmer will operate the Design Pro LED Direct Wire units. An electronic wall dimmer will work with these units, but is not required and will perform less effectively than the standard version.
At this time, a standard wall dimmer will not operate the Design Pro LED Modular system. Investigation continues on a viable Z-Wave wall mounted switch option.
LED Light
Q - To what is the light output of the Kichler Design Pro best compared?
A - The Design Pro Series was developed to produce light with the same color temperature as our Xenon under cabinet and linear product, which is approximately 3000 degrees Kelvin. The CRI is at, or greater than 85. Because Xenon light is somewhat ¡§yellow,¡¨ you will find that the LED is somewhat ¡§whiter.¡¨ The combination of a whiter light and high CRI will embolden most every color, especially purples, dark blues and deep reds.
Q - Why does one LED chip look like a different color compared to the chip next to it?
A - No two LED are exactly the same. Because we buy a range of chips there is variation from chip to chip. These variations are slight. The collective light output of the fixture is the best measure of color output.
LED Chips are manufactured and sorted into ¡§bins¡¨ based on color temperature. The tighter the range of color requested, the more expensive the chip. Kichler purchases the tightest range of chips advertised. Our tolerance is ¡Ó150K (Kelvin). Chip tolerance ranges from 2850K to 3150K for Kichler products. High brightness LED chips used in Kichler Design Pro LED will make most every color ¡§pop¡¨ much better than a typical Xenon lamp. Xenon is a more yellow light. Yellow tends to gray or wash out purples or blues close to purple on the color spectrum. High brightness LED chips are cleaner, whiter and make colors ¡§jump¡¨. It feels cooler, but it is not cool blue, nor as warm yellow as Xenon.
Competitor LED color range can be as large as 875K to 1000K and some do not mention a range. These are the least desirable to a customer ¡V they should steer clear as they have no idea what they will get. Color variation is also present in incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. Fresh from the package they look the same, but with use or as they ¡§burn¡¨ a dramatic color change occurs.
Helpful hint:
Focus should be placed on the lumen output on the counter, the collective color.
In room interiors where there is extensive use of white, and anything but a pure white (approximately 2700 Kelvin) specification is required, Kichler¡¦s Xenon products may be a good alternative solution.
Q - What can we do if one LED chip should happen to go out?
A - If one should go out prematurely the entire fixture must be replaced. These cannot be serviced in the field. Please refer to the Kichler Warranty.
Energy Star
Q - Everyone has Energy Star listed light fixtures, don¡¦t they?
A - Currently, Kichler was the first Energy Star solid state under-cabinet lighting listed and now is one of a VERY small group of Energy Star solid state cabinet lighting offered in America.

ABC Hosts Iowa GOP Debate; the Palin-less Race
Saturday, December 10, 2011
Tonight, another GOP presidential debate occurs, this time on ABC. The buzz has been centered around what the exchange will be like between the former front runner, Mitt Romney, and the current front runner, Newt Gingrich, who has soared ahead in the polls. As much as I'm interested in seeing the exchange between these two, I am also hoping to hear more from Rick Santorum, who secured the endorsement of Iowa Secretary of State, Matt Schultz.
The debate, held in Des Moines, Iowa, begins at 9 p.m. Eastern and will be moderated by George Stephanopoulos and Diane Sawyer.
Like many other supporters of Governor Palin, I was hoping to have the full package in a candidate this time. That package, of course, is the Governor herself, who has opted not to run at this time. She has the executive experience, the business background, and the energy expertise we need. In the course of her dual-decade career, she has cut spending, forward-funded education, and paved the way for job growth in her hometown, transforming Wasilla into the fastest growing city in the state. She upheld her state's Constitution, looked big wigs and "corrupt bastards" in the eyes, fought corruption--and won. She secured the largest private sector infrastructure project in North American history. She is not beholden to special interests because she has never been for sale, and she has called out crony capitalism, which has since become a major focus of conversation and inspection. Her accomplishments are numerous, many of which are highlighted in Stephen Bannon's The Undefeated. When you've supported someone like this, it's hard to settle for just part of the package. I have not yet found that one conservative in the race whom I can put my heart behind as I am behind Governor Palin. Some don't even come close to securing my vote of confidence, much less my vote for president, and it might just be a game-time decision. In the meantime, I will vet these candidates, research records, watch debates, pray, and wait. I will also continue to be grateful that Governor Palin is not going away. Rather, she continues to use the platform she's been given to fight for what's right for this country, even without a title.
I do believe that each candidate in the race would make a better Commander-in-Chief than the one we now have, so I'm certainly not sitting this thing out.
Tune in tonight.
