Best Spatial Two-Stage Least Squares Estimators for a Spatial Autoregressive Model with Autoregressive Disturbances
Estimation of a cross-sectional spatial model containing both a spatial lag of the dependent variable and spatially autoregressive disturbances are considered. [Kelejian and Prucha (1998)]described a generalized two-stage least squares procedure for estimating such a spatial model. Their estimator is, however, not asymptotically optimal. We propose best spatial 2SLS estimators that are asymptotically optimal instrumental variable (IV) estimators. An associated goodness-of-fit (or over identification) test is available. We suggest computationally simple and tractable numerical procedures for constructing the optimal instruments.

Kent BioEnergy, With Decades of Algae Experience, Predicts Biofuel Innovation Will Come From "A Guy on a Tractor"
Jack Van Olst and Michael Massingill have an interesting perspective on the green gold rush underway in San Diego, where there has been a proliferation of startups focused on algae-based biofuels.
At a time when venture funds are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into startups that plan to make diesel, gasoline and jet fuel from algae, they say making biofuels is more of an agribusiness than an advanced biotechnology business. "If biofuels become a reality, they're not going to be made in a laboratory somewhere—they're going to be grown," Massingill says. And if biofuels derived from algae are going to become economically viable, he says the solution is "not going to come from someone in a white lab coat. It going to come from a guy in blue jeans on a tractor."
You could say they take a long view on the subject. Van Olst and Jim Carlberg are co-founders of San Diego-based Kent BioEnergy, a startup that has developed a variety of proprietary algae technologies over the past 37 years.
Van Olst told me their work began in 1970 when he and Carlberg began developing aquaculture systems for lobsters, abalone, scallops, and striped sea bass. The company they founded in 1972 eventually became the world's largest producer of hybrid striped bass, producing 2 to 3 million pounds of fish and peak revenue of $10 million a year.
In recent years, as their fish aquaculture business came under increasing pressure from rising shipping costs and low-priced foreign competitors, Van Olst led the shift in focus to algae. What was Kent SeaTech became Kent BioEnergy, a reorganized company that plans to produce algae for energy, biomass, and water treatment applications. Their expertise with algae, though, has roots that began more than 15 years ago, when the company developed ways of using algae to clean the water in the fish pens at its 160-acre striped bass production facility.
"They started doing water remediation for their own business, and then they started doing water remediation for the (nearby) Salton Sea," says Barry Toyonaga, Kent BioEnergy's chief business officer. The enormous saline lake, which was created in a vast desert sink when the Colorado River breached a levee in 1905, is becoming increasingly contaminated by agricultural runoff from the north and poorly treated wastewater from the south. Van Olst says Kent BioEnergy has developed methods that use algae to remove most of the phosphorous and nitrogen contaminants from the Whitewater River before it flows into the Salton Sea.
As a result, the company now holds a variety of patents and exclusive licenses for aquaculture wastewater treatment systems, algae-based water recycling systems, and algae-based environmental remediation technology. It also has patents pending for making algae easier to harvest, methods for maintaining algae monocultures (ensuring that a pond has just one species of algae), and for genetically modifying algae to enhance algal production of valuable oils that can be used to make fuels.
While many algae-based energy technologies have just begun to develop system designs, Kent BioEnergy has been refining its systems development under Massingill since he joined the company in 1980. Under federal grants intended to promote advanced technologies and small business innovation, the company has developed systems for producing dense monoculture populations of microalgae in high-rate, constantly circulating ponds. The company probably has received more than $12 million in government grants for technology development since 1984, Toyonaga says, with private investors contributing an additional $18 million.
The company also has worked since the mid-1980s with Clemson University researchers to develop a variety of proprietary processes for efficiently growing and harvesting algae. Van Olst says harvesting in particular is the sort of basic-but-tricky problem that a venture-backed rival might easily overlook. It's not a trivial issue, Van Olst says, because algae basically have the same density as the water where they grow. You can't just use a net to scoop out the algae. (It's possible to use a centrifuge to separate the algae, but Van Olst says it is too costly.)
Because of the company's broad experience, Van Olst says Kent BioEnergy has adopted a multipurpose strategy that emphasizes a systems approach and seeks to maximize efficiencies by using algae in many different ways. For example, algae can be optimized to produce methane gas in an anaerobic digester, and the leftover biomass sludge can be used as livestock feed or as an agricultural soil amendment. Because algae absorbs carbon dioxide, Van Olst also is intrigued with the concept of developing techniques for using algae ponds to capture carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases pumped out by coal and gas-powered power plants.
So hypothetically, at least, algae could produce the methane gas used to fuel a power plant and also absorb at least some of the plant's carbon dioxide emissions.
Van Olst says very few competitors developing algae-biofuels technologies have been working at the same scale as Kent BioEnergy. The company, which now has 26 employees in San Diego and Imperial County, operates algae production ponds on a 250-acre desert site near Mecca, CA, and it has acquired an additional 350 acres along the western shore of the Salton Sea. But Massingill says making algae biofuels economical will likely require expanding algae production to an agricultural scale that could require 10,000 acres of algal growing ponds.
"It's going to end up being a form of farming," Van Olst says. "The products that we're making are not that economical… We're not making liquid gold here. We're making a commodity product, and it has to be done efficiently."

text: I know I'm going to get alot of opinions on this topic but I'm in need of some advise. Which mower is better Bob-cat or Toro? I already have the bob-cat but I have been having too many problems with the engine and I have no dealer around me that I will deal with. My stihl dealer is also a Toro dealer and they are great to work with. I have set up a demo for a 60" Z master with the turbo force deck to see how I like the mower. So any opinions between the two brands?

Through fingerprint records, the man was identified as Robert Austin Bukey, 38, said Riverside County sheriff's homicide Sgt. John Schultz. Bukey last lived in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, the sergeant said.
The man's body was found Wednesday afternoon by rock hunters along South Main Divide, about three miles from Ortega Highway.
Bukey was shot once in the back of the head with a small-caliber weapon, according to coroner's autopsy results.
Investigators ask that anyone with any information about Bukey or his death contact Investigator Brian Reno at (951) 955-2777 or Investigator Bill Gorham at (951) 245-3300.

Complaint Review: Hedocell
- Hedocell
1106 Fort Hood Avenue
Edinburg, Texas
United States of America
- Phone: 956-381-4195
- Web: Hedocell.com
- Category: Telephones
Hedocell Hedocell does not honor its policies regarding returns, refunds or guarantees for substandard and defective products it sells. Edinburg, Texas
*Consumer Suggestion: yep
Hedocell does not honor its policies regarding returns, refunds or guarantees but continues to transact business. I suspect that Hedocell has more dissatisfied customers than are willing to bother lodging a complaint; consequently, I would like to bring my experience to the reader's attention.
It seems that this dealer manages successfully when nothing goes wrong with the product. Hence the continued availability of numerous items on eBay and Amazon, as well as from Hedocell directly, and also why the favorable ratings and reviews. However, when something does go wrong, the dealer wants nothing to do with the customer: he or she will be given the runaround or totally ignored. This is a reprehensible and dishonest way of conducting business.
I bought a vertical cell phone pouch (cover) from Hedocell on 28 June 2012. The receipt from PayPal showed that my credit card payment went to Hemo Trading Inc.
The pouch was listed as fitting a Motorola XT860; however, when I received it on 3 July 2012 there was no way of squeezing an XT860 into (or out of) it without a major struggle which made the pouch nearly useless.
To firstname.lastname@example.com on 3 July 2012 I sent an e-mail to this effect; on 9 July 2012 I received the reply:
"It is probably an incorrect or defective case, can you please provide us a picture with the phone inserted showing the size difference? With the picture we can request a replacement to the manufacturer without having to return the current case."
I could hardly do this if the phone did not fit in the first place, sent an e-mail to this effect, and asked for an RMA number. Thensilence.
Not only was the pouch too small, but the front flap was displaced to the right because the magnetic catch was off-center. Furthermore, the belt loop on the back was also quite obviously crooked, clearly displaced to the left at the top.
Despite my not receiving an RMA number, I mailed the pouch back to Hedocell's commercial address Hedocell, P.O. Box 3639, Edinburg, TX 78540-3639, Tel. 956-587-9188, with a USPS tracking number, and requested an exchange. More silence.
My research showed that the dealer was Mr. Hector Duhart Ogarrio, based at 1106 Fort Hood Avenue, Edinburg, TX 78539-3333. It appears to be an apartment in a single-story complex. In addition, I also found other phone numbers for Hedocell: 956-381-4195, 956-383-xxxx and 956-318-xxxx.
Obtaining no response from Hedocell, I reported the events to the credit card company which granted me a refund without argument or protest.
I undertook further research on the Internet and found a Motorola XT860 forum where other people posted the same experience with Hedocell as I had:
Cases...caution about buying from Hedocell
I bought a case for my phone from Hedocell: they had a good selection and the prices were low. The case arrived within a week and I liked it. So, I decided to order a slightly different one for use when working in my yard. The second case was too small to fit my phone, even though it was supposed to be specific for my phone. I left numerous calls on their answering machine and sent several emails. They finally told me to return the case (which I had to do at my own expense) for a replacement. A week after sending it back and hearing nothing, I emailed and called them numerous times. After several days, they claimed they never received it. Further communications went unanswered. I never got a replacement, or a refund, and my attempt to get PayPal to stand up was useless. Oh, and the first case I bought, which I liked really well, had the riveted belt clip break off after a month. I'm not saying they're a scam, but their pretty web site is not representative of how they do business or a reflection of product quality. Proceed at your own risk..."
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has also received eight complaints involving problems with the product and the guarantee. As a consequence, it has given Hedocell a rating of F, the lowest possible. Of the eight complaints, Hedocell completely ignored seven of them.
From my experience, and it seems that of others, Hedocell does not honor its return policy or other conditions of sale, given as follows
Standard Return Policy
All our products not "On Sale" carry a 15 days unconditional money back or exchange guarantee (shipping not included). If the product is unused, is not defective and does not meet your needs, we can exchange it and just charge you the postage for the replacement package or refund the amount paid for it. We'll just discount the postage that we pay for shipping the product to you. For standard returns, please contact our support team at email@example.com to get a return authorization. Please include in your message your order number. We can not accept returns without the proper authorization.
Product On Sale
All the products marked as "On Sale" the sale is final. Due to the low price, those can not be returned, we'll only replace defective products according to our "Defective Product Return Policy".
Defective Products
If you receive a defective, incorrect or damaged product, please contact out support team at email@example.com within 15 days after the purchase was made. Please include in your message your order number and a picture showing the problem. In must of the cases the product will be replaced using just the provided picture.
which is contradictory in stating that Hedocell offers a "15 days unconditional money back guarantee" and then a bit further down says that "All refunds will be issued as store credit, no money will be returned." In addition, defective items must be returned within 30 days; however, "No returns will be accepted without a [sic] RMA number on the outside." which Hedocell will not provide. Also, I noticed that the Return Policy on the Hedocell website does not correspond with the Store Policies given on eBay.
Under the heading Store Policies on Hedocell's eBay website it says:
We have a Simply, No Hassle Return Policy. Our Customer Support Team will make sure that you get exactly what you are looking for. We'll take full responsibility for non working items and exchange them for new product. If you don't like the item, we'll also replace it and just charge you for the replacement actual postage. Please contact us within 14 days of purchase. On non defective return, shipping, handling, insurance and eBay fees will be discounted from your refund.
Quite obviously Hedocell ignores its stated policies for its own convenience, merely providing them as bait to promote sales and as a marketing tool.

Georgetown pulls off the daily double
Newburyport also claims title
Manning Field in Lynn got a double dose of a Royal celebration as the Georgetown boys' soccer team took down Lynnfield, 2-0, to capture the Division 3 North sectional final, just 2 1/2 hours after the Georgetown girls claimed their title.
Following an uneventful first half, Royals forward Matt Bitchell, who was blanketed by the Pioneers all game, was determined to make things happen in the second half.
Just two minutes in, he got his chance. Forward Ryan Browner worked defenders near the top of the box and then slipped the ball to Bitchell, who blasted it to the back of the net to put the Royals up.
A 10-minute delay to repair a large divot on the field seemed to be the only thing that slowed Bitchell and the Royals, whose defense was exemplified by Kevin Morrissey's shutting down Lynnfield leading scorer Marco Addonizio.
"He's the best one-on-one defender I've had around,'' said Georgetown coach Chris DiFranco.
With 11 minutes remaining, forward Max Harper pushed a through ball past the Lynnfield defense that found a streaking Bitchell, who beat his man and deposited his second goal of the game.
"Matt kept telling me to get the ball to him,'' said Harper. "So I just did a nice roll up for him and he was fast enough to get to it and it went right through the keeper's legs.''
A humble Bitchell responded, "I just had to finish them. It's all on everyone else.''
The Royals' victory was sweet redemption over their Cape Ann rival, who beat them in last year's tournament.
Division 3 North girls Georgetown 5, St. Mary's 1 - After not allowing a goal in three postseason games, the Royals found themselves in unfamiliar territory - trailing, 1-0, midway trough the first half.
The Royals responded to adversity in fine fashion, reeling off five unanswered goals to claim their second North sectional championship in three years.
"I think we were a little tight coming out,'' said Georgetown coach Colleen Gibbs. "But we definitely pulled it together. [St. Mary's] scored a great goal. We just needed to mark up a little bit tighter.''
After the Spartans' Brianna Anderson found the back of the net in the 16th minute, Kristin Hogan led the Royals' comeback with the next two goals.
The midfielder tied the match in the 23d minute with a leftfooted shot that beat freshman keeper Katie Donnelly.
Donnelly started in place of Bailey Bruckmann, who had her jaw broken in Tuesday's win over Greater Lowell.
"That first goal gave us so much confidence,'' said Hogan. "We were able to head into halftime tied instead of down, 1-0. It was like a new game.''
Hogan's next strike came nine minutes into the second half, when she beat Donnelly from a tough angle from the left side.
From there things were all Georgetown.
Jennifer Migliaccio and Sheridan Holland both found their way into the scorer's book with goals in the 58th and 62d minutes, respectively.
Devin Cudmore added the final goal with seven minutes remaining. Royals keeper Jamie Block turned away nine shots to record her fourth win of the postseason.
"It was great we had some players that don't normally score step up and get goals for us,'' said Gibbs. "We're a small town, we've come to play with 17 girls all season.''
Georgetown will play the winner of today's Dover-Sherborn-Norwell game in the state semifinals.
Division 2 North girls Newburyport 1, Stoneham 0 - After a two-year hiatus, the Newburyport girls are back where they belong as sectional champions after a thrilling 6-5 penalty-kick win at Manning Field.
"It's always good to be back on top,'' said Newburyport coach Robb Gonnam, whose team captured state titles in 2007 and 2008.
After scoreless regulation and overtime, affected by a stiff wind that seemingly tilted the field, penalty kicks loomed.
Newburyport's Ally Leahy scored first, and keeper Lilly Donovan stopped Stoneham's first attempt. Both teams traded goals until the fifth shooter. The Clippers had a chance to put the game away but the ball rolled wide. Stoneham's Betsy Albiani stepped up and tied the shootout at 4 to force sudden death.
Donovan kept her team alive with a clutch save in the sixth round, diving to her right. In Round 8, Amy Sullivan drilled a goal into the bottom right corner, and Donovan made another sprawling save to clinch the win.

Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson

Where did this idea come from? How am I going to pay for it? Those are your first thoughts, especially if no one else in the family has ever been in band before.

By Rebecca Perring
Pupils from St Albans Girls School were delighted to welcome popular author Julie Hearn in to talk about her recent book.
Julie inspired year nine History students when she visited to speak about her book 'Hazel', which tells the story of a young girl whose view on life is suddenly altered by her witnessing the death of the suffragette Emily Wilding Davison at the Epsom Derby in 1913.
Pupils listened to Julie talk about the suffragette movement, where she showed them propaganda postcards from the time.
Naailah Ahmed, year nine pupil, said: "I really enjoyed it and I thought it was fun, she managed to bring fiction and history together really well".

Delorean History
The DeLorean Motor Company founded by John DeLorean was established in 1975. Appropriately, the DeLorean Motor Company was based in the motor capital of the country, Detroit, Michigan. John DeLorean had a vision of a sports car designed with futuristic elements. He put pen to paper and created a concept vehicle named the DMC DeLorean. Most sports car of the time were extremely compact, which made is difficult for larger people. John DeLorean was a tall man, and sought a vehicle that accommodated his large stature. Thus, design plans for the DMC DeLorean included a roomy interior.
DeLorean history is of interest to many auto and car enthusiasts. Production of DeLoreans ceased in 1983. However, this has not stopped some people from researching the vehicles or attending auto shows showcasing DeLoreans. To fund his project, John DeLorean contacted various banks and private organizations, including Bank of America. Moreover, to help provide jobs for those unemployed in different countries, John DeLorean sought areas outside the United States for the assembly of DeLoreans. In 1978, construction of a Northern Ireland assembly plant began. The facility was constructed in a little over a year (16 months), and featured six building totaling 660,000 square feet.
According to DeLorean history, production of the first vehicle was scheduled to begin in 1970. However, problems arose, and the project was delayed until 1981. Even though Americans were responsive to DeLoreans, with over 9,000 sold between 1981 – 1983, John DeLorean was unable to raise adequate funds to keep the facility opened. In 1982, plans to shut down DeLoreans were announced. DeLorean's history is widely known became the vehicles have become a keepsake item over the past twenties years. Many original DeLorean owners maintain possession of the cars. Furthermore, companies endeavoring to keep DeLorean's history alive have started a business of restoring the classic automobile.

It looks like Pandigital is getting ready to roll-out another ereader. The latest is the Planet ereader, which will arrive with a 7 inch TFT LCD display and running Android. That said, the Pandigital Planet seems more closely related to a tablet as the feature set includes front and rear facing cameras, a microphone, HDMI and apps. The Planet is expected to ship with Facebook as well as a Dictionary, Antivirus and OfficeSuite Viewer apps. Sadly though, while there was a mention of those pre-installed apps, it does not appears as if it will have support for the Android Market. With that, while we have gotten a decent look, we are still unsure when the Planet ereader will arrive and how much it will end up selling for once it does.

text: Alum's Coffee House Brews Up Memories of Orwell's "War of the Worlds" Franc Gambatese '87 has been fascinated with Orson Welles' radio adaptation of H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds all of his life. Mickey DeFranco and Franc Gambatese '87 Franc Gambatese '87 says his fascination with Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre Company radio adaptation of H.G. Wells' classic The War of the Worlds has followed him throughout life. Gambatese and his wife, Mickey DeFranco, own Grovers Mill Coffee House in Grovers Mill, West Windsor Township, New Jersey, the site of the story's famous Martian invasion. Their Martian-themed coffee house is gearing up for the 75th anniversary of the broadcast that aired on Halloween eve 1938. They will host rebroadcasting events, have lectures, and sell commemorative coffee cups and T-shirts. "My dad really talked it up and told me how the whole thing happened," he says. As a kid, Gambatese used his newspaper route money to buy War of the Worlds comic books, which he still has and displays in his coffee shop. He was also fascinated by the 1975 television movie, The Night That Panicked America, a dramatization of the October 30 mass panic. Some listeners who randomly tuned in to the radio broadcast were fooled because the broadcast sounded so believable. "They mentioned several times that it was fictitious, but if you were tuning in the middle, you didn't know what the heck was going on. And people just got carried away." As a communication major at William Paterson, the event was the focus of one of his classes — how it had changed broadcasting. Gambatese wrote his senior thesis on "How the War of the Worlds Radio Broadcast Affected American Culture." Gambatese and his wife eventually moved to West Windsor, and it wasn't until they moved in that he realized, "Holy cow, Grovers Mill is part of the town. This thing has been following me!" "Now we're the keepers of the flame," he says. "We get people coming to Grovers Mill from all over the world, especially at this time of year." They bring him memorabilia to add to his collection, from an old Victrola radio to a complaint signed by the city manager of Trenton, demanding an investigation into the broadcast. Gambatese, a former West Windsor council member, is now regarded as the local historian on the subject. Gambatese and his wife have been coffee roasters and wholesalers for the past ten years, and opened up the coffee house about five years ago. In July, they opened up a second Grovers Mill Coffee House in South Brunswick, located inside the public library. Having the second shop gives them more room to display all their War of the Worlds memorabilia. For them, it's a family affair. Both daughters, now in college, help out. Gambatese's father-in-law, 83, helps too. "It's been a really fun experience," he says. "I hope I'm around when we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the radio broadcast." 10/24/13

President Barack Obama, announced on Monday[1], that he is moving $100 million toward a research project to fight HIV.
The research project will be handled by the National Institutes of Health and will work to find a way cure for HIV, the Associated Press notes.
"We will stand with you through every step of this journey until we reach the day possible when all men and women can protect themselves from infection, a day when all people with HIV infection have access to treatment to save their lives," President Obama told Politico[3].
Obama also announced that the United States will pledge $5 billion over the next three years to help fund the The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The United States pledges funds to the organization so long as other countries can contribute twice what it does. If other countries pledge the $10 billion, the money will be used to run The Global Fund's programs from 2014 to 2016, reports the Associated Press.

Consolidation may have the fixture industry feeling a tad unsettled, but the fact is, there seems to be enough work to go around for all fixture companies, big and small. According to the National Association of Store Fixture Manufacturers (NASFM), the more-than-$8.5 billion industry is thriving. But fierce competition is cutting into profits, says Klein Merriman, the association's executive director.
In VM+SD magazine's seventh-annual fixture survey, we line up more than 350 fixture manufacturers and suppliers to give you, the reader, an updated, easy-to-use reference. The Top 50 Fixture Manufacturers list is based on 1999 fixture sales given by manufacturers who responded to our survey. An alphabetical listing of all companies that responded (and some who didn't) is available as a PDF. (The PDF version requires Adobe Reader, which you can download for free.)
The survey was sent to nearly 1700 fixture manufacturers and suppliers, which were culled from the VM+SD Buyers'Guide, in-house databases and industry directories. All information presented on these pages was provided by the companies, with the exception of several companies in the alphabetical list, as noted. Some companies provided manufacturing space, capabilities and product information, but omitted 1999 revenues. These companies are included only in the alphabetical listing.
While sales figures alone were used to gauge a company's ranking as a fixture producer, VM+SD recognizes that market objectives are not necessarily uniform and that size does not always determine a company's contribution to or impact on the industry.
All companies were asked to provide their total fixturing sales for 1999. However, some companies, including some of the industry's largest fixture producers, opted for revenue confidentiality. Those companies are not listed among the Top 50 but are included in the alphabetical directory.

I recently explained how to use the keyboard in Excel's Paste Special dialog box, and this is a great timesaver on its own. But I use Paste Special a lot, especially with Formats, Formulas, and Values, so I made those three even easier to use via the keyboard…
Each one has its own direct keyboard shortcut, courtesy of Keyboard Maestro. Here's how I set it up; these instructions should work (with some changes, of course) for any app that can script keystrokes.
First, I created these macros in an Excel group, so they're only active when Excel is frontmost (no need to create global hot keys that you only use in one program). The actual macros are pretty trivial:
- Send Command-Control-V to bring up the Paste Special dialog
- Pause just long enough for the dialog to appear onscreen
- Send the chosen shortcut key—T, F, or V in my vase
- Send the Return key to execute the action
Then I just assigned each one to the same key used within the dialog, but with Command and Option to make it usable from anywhere within Excel.

This is a breakout board for the Bosch BMP180 high-precision, low-power digital barometer. The BMP180 offers a pressure measuring range of 300 to 1100 hPa with an accuracy down to 0.02 hPa in advanced resolution mode. It's based on piezo-resistive technology for high accuracy, ruggedness and long term stability. These come factory-calibrated, with the calibration coefficients already stored in ROM. What makes this sensor great is that it is nearly identical to its former rev, the BMP085!
This breadboard-friendly board breaks out every pin to a 6-pin 0.1" pitch header. VCC can be from 1.8V to 3.6V and is 5V tolerant; we typically run it on a clean, regulated 3.3V supply. The analog and digital supplies (VDDD and VDDA) are tied to a single header pin, but are separately decoupled. It connects to a microcontroller via I²C bus (also known as TWI, or on the Arduino, the "Wire" library).
- Digital two wire (I²C, TWI, "Wire") interface
- Wide barometric pressure range
- Flexible supply voltage range (1.8V to 3.6V)
- Ultra-low power consumption
- Low noise measurements
- Factory-calibrated
- Includes temperature sensor
- Low-profile with a small footprint

Scene PR Miami Ysset Boan -False information - Scam Market - No rights for complaints - Won't give refunds even if services are not provided - Watch out Miami Florida
The service fee paid for an event in Art Basel - Style Market - was $450.00. I paid the fee with around a month in anticipation of the event , and was expecting to receive details on the event soon after payment. I sent several messages to ask for the location of the event but the information was not provided to me but 4 days before the event. I spoke with the organizer of the event Ysset Boan by phone to have more details on the market and to remind her to send me the exact address since it was going to be different for the Art Basel. She stated it was one block away from previous location and that there was going to be traffic of persons similar to the other location. The truth is that the location was a disaster, no one was walking by and therefore no sales. Since, many vendors were dissapointed at the situation we tried to approach her to find solutions and to ask why she told us information that was not accurate about the event. No solutions were proposed and her attitude was very indiferent to the situation and to the many of us that have been working with her for years. So as vendors that don't want to lose our small businesses we decided to gather emails of the people who were dissapointed at the situation. On which she approach me and told me to leave her event and that otherwise she would call the police to scort me out. The event was to last 3 days, so the second day I was preparing all my things just so at least to recuperate some money after from the $450 paid to her. To my surprise I received a message from her stating that I was not longer able to attend the event, that she was not refunding my money and that I was harassing her. To my fortune I knew of a new market and was able to get a space on that area. Soon after, I got in communication with the group of vendors that complaint to her and then we found out that she sent the same message to all the people that were unsatisfied and that spoke up against her event. None of us harassed her we were just not happy for what we paid for and were trying to find a solution or an explanation from her. That never came. On the third day of the event, she showed up at the market were many of the vendors that complaint were working. If she felt harassed by us, why would she come to a location were many of us were located?
We as market vendors also have rights to complaint and said if we don't feel satisfied for what we are paying for, it is a right in our country.

I've had the DPS3 for several years and have yet to see any issues with repeatability that I couldn't explain away as wind related or my mistake. One thing you should make sure of is that the unit should be flat on the bench so it can't rock.
I wouldn't have an electronic scale without having a beam scale first. I occasionally double check my electronically dispensed loads against my beam scale. They are always within .1 grains of each other.
It's also great to have a beam scale in case the power goes out in a storm which it does fairly often where I live.

UEG Week 2012 in Amsterdam will celebrate 20 years of advances in fighting digestive diseases
New research findings in gastroenterology and hepatology to be presented –
Over 14,000 delegates expected to attend 20th anniversary meeting
(Amsterdam, 1 June 2012) The latest advances in clinical management of digestive diseases, state-of-the-art basic and translational research and many other scientific highlights will be discussed at the 20th United European Gastroenterology Week (UEG Week), to be held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, from 20 to 24 October 2012. UEG Week, expected to draw more than 14,000 participants from all over the world, is the largest congress of its kind in Europe.
UEG Week deals with diseases of the stomach, bowel, oesophagus, liver, pancreas and gallbladder, which affect millions of people. This year, topics will include the modern role of multidisciplinary care as well as the effect of obesity and alcohol on gastrointestinal (GI) and liver diseases. Innovative endoscopic techniques, treatment advances in inflammatory bowel disease, and the expanding role of gastroenterologists in digestive oncology are among the other issues to be presented and discussed by scientific experts from all over the world. The congress's two-day symposium "Today's science; tomorrow's medicine" will provide links between basic science and clinical practice by presenting the most recent research on how obesity affects inflammation and disease in the GI tract and liver.
Special anniversary symposia
UEG Week will be celebrating its 20th anniversary this year in Amsterdam and, to mark the occasion, there will be a wide range of special events taking place throughout the congress. Anniversary symposia will feature top journal editors summarising the advances in the prevention, diagnosis and management of digestive diseases over the last 20 years, and leaders in research and clinical practice will predict what will happen next in their respective fields.
The latest information at first hand
UEG Week 2012 offers journalists a one-off opportunity to obtain first-hand expert information on numerous health issues affecting Europe and the world today. Local and international speakers will be available to answer questions at three press conferences and at the press centre. While the first press conference (Monday, 22 October, 11.00 h) will be aimed at lay media and the other two (Monday, 22 October, 13.00 h and Tuesday, 23 October, 12.00 h) at specialist media, journalists of all media are invited to attend. For further information on the congress, please refer to the following website: http://uegw2012.ueg.eu

DEAR ANNIE: How do you deal with ignorant relatives? My wife and I have two teenagers and three children under the age of 12. We live an hour away from family and see them during holidays, birthdays, cookouts and such. I am close to both of my parents and speak to them daily. I believe they should have a good relationship with my kids. We also have nieces and nephews who live an hour away across state lines.
I recently found out that my parents have bought these nieces and nephews cellphones (to keep in touch) and special notebooks for them to write back and forth, and they also send them little gifts. Once a month, they are invited to spend the night at my parents' house, while my kids have spent two nights there in four years. When I see my parents, they talk about how they never see my nieces and nephews, but I get to hear all about the stuff they do and their daily email chats.
I don't understand how my parents can be so blind. They do nothing with my children. There is no bad blood between us. We are close. All I know is that I am sick of seeing my children hurt and tired of answering questions about why Grandpa and Grandma don't call or let them stay over like they do with their cousins. How do I make this better? — Vermont
Grandparents sometimes don't realize they are playing favorites, and there are a variety of reasons behind it. Often, they feel they must overcompensate for those kids who need them more. In your parents' case, it's possible that they know you will always keep your children close, but they aren't so sure about the nieces and nephews, so they work harder at it. You need to tell your parents how you feel.
DEAR ANNIE: I am 15 and very overweight. I've been this way since I was little. I've tried losing weight, but can never seem to keep it off for long.
What bothers me most is the intolerance at school. I hear the fat jokes and the whispers. I'd love to have a boyfriend, but the guys in my class only like the skinny girls. This has destroyed what little self-confidence I had.
I don't understand why people can't accept all body types. Nowadays you have to be thin to be considered pretty. I want to feel pretty, too, and know that people can like me as I am. Why can't these attitudes be changed? — Confused in Connecticut
That's an excellent question. Attitudes like these are culturally entrenched and reinforced by media images. Fat jokes and nasty whispers are a form of bullying and should be reported to the school authorities. But instead of focusing on romance, simply work on being a good friend.
Please talk to your parents and have them make an appointment for you to see your doctor and a nutritionist. Get some exercise.
ANNIE'S MAILBOX is written by Kathy Mitchell, top, and Marcy Sugar, P.O. Box 118190, Chicago, IL 60611, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Rocco Rotondi is not the nostalgic type.
The Bryant baseball coach looks forward, not back. He's proud of last year's accomplishments – the second-place finish in the prestigious Monroe Tournament, the Queens A West title it shared with rival John Adams and its run to the PSAL Class A quarterfinals – but he's made a point of moving past those feats.
"He always says what's in the past," senior Nick Alvarez said, "is in the past."
Rotondi doesn't want his players to forget about what they did last year, but to understand it has nothing to do with this spring. After arguably Rotondi's most successful season, hopes have increased – within the program and from the outside as well.
"Anytime you have expectations you have to back up those expectations," Rotondi said. "It's always a little harder when you're not flying under the radar. We have to earn every win."
He added: "We don't want to overlook anybody. We want to take it one game at a time, try to improve each and every game out."
Aside from first baseman Joseph Cox and shortstop Kenny Linero, Bryant returns its entire team. It includes co-aces Alvarez, Darlyn Valdez and Adonis Lao. The trio combined to win 12 games last year. Valdez and Lao throw in the mid 80s with solid off-speed stuff while Alvarez has the most diverse assortment of pitches.
"They're all battling for that ace position," the ninth-year coach said. "They all have good qualities, bring something different to the table."
The lineup, which was one of the city's best, routinely scoring in double figures, could be improved with so much continuity and returning players who are now upperclassmen. Lao, second baseman Chris Alvarez (Nick's brother) and Nick Alvarez will make up the 3-4-5 spots.
The lone departures, Linero and Cox, will be replaced by Christian Aubry, last year's starting second baseman, and Sean O'Brien, respectively. Rotondi expects teams to pitch to Bryant differently and wants to bunt more, move runners over and hit the ball to the opposite field on a consistent basis.
"It's a balanced lineup," Rotondi said. "We're not going to just rely on the top four or five guys. We don't want to be top-heavy."
The Owls are hungry to test themselves against the area's best after coming five outs shy of upsetting eventual city champion George Washington in the quarterfinals, a game they felt got away. It's a loss that has stayed with Bryant.
"We definitely learned from that game," said Nick Alvarez, who scored 17 runs and drove in 12 a year ago. "If we're in that situation again this year, we'll be better prepared."
Rotondi had built a top-notch program before last year; Bryant just tended to fade late. That was hardly the case last May as the Owls won four of their last six regular-season games to finish tied with John Adams atop Queens A West. Now instead of division titles and a playoff win or two, their hopes are far higher.
"We want to bring home a championship for our school," Chris Alvarez said. "We want to make a name for ourselves, to bust out."

I KNOW it doesn't quite unravel the mystique attached to the All Blacks' phenomenal record at Eden Park, but I do know what must be an undisputed fact.
More often than not, their opponents come to the match disguised as spectators, not participants. That's certainly what's happened before, and in keeping with that tradition the only thing the Wallabies seem to have forgotten last night was their binoculars.
Their performance was probably as disappointing as it gets.
A mediocre team playing poorly is easier to stomach, but a squad that appears to have some potential, and then performs as lackadaisically as those representing Australia did in Auckland, is something of a gut-wrencher.
I received a text during the match from someone opting to look at it from an All Black perspective. "Scarily awesome" it said.
No-one could argue that the All Blacks were anything but superb, but they were allowed to be.
The anger which they seemed to take out of their performance in last week's draw was in contrast to the way the Australian appeared to analyse theirs.
Sure, there were many observers and critics who were pumping the Wallabies tyres.
I was one, but perhaps on the back of such commentary, the players believed everything that was said and written.
There's a lesson harshly learned, if it were the case.
I'd be happy to wager most of what I own on the fact that Ewen McKenzie would have underlined the necessity for discipline in his addresses to the team.
It must concern him enormously they didn't appear to listen.
They must have heard but it's all about digesting and obeying.
The one offence that displays a lack of confidence is being offside.
I'm not sure how many times the Wallabies were penalised under this particular law in the opening 20 minutes, but there's a fair chance I'd be on to the fingers on my second hand by the time I'd worked it out.
Being offside as defender, particularly when it happens repeatedly, yells out that there's a lack of real trust. None of the great teams lack trust in their systems or their colleagues, and if this Wallabies outfit intend to give hope to their supporters, they had better start believing in themselves.
From those penalties came the momentum for a fierce opposition who were pining for exactly that.
Nic White is a pesky little operator who is good enough to play international rugby but he was pinged regularly, and if your halfback is setting a poor example it's hard for those in front and outside of him to find any rhythm.
Singling out any individual though is somewhat unfair, because this was a team performance where any player who didn't believe they had a hand in the debacle needs to improve their self-analysis.
When it didn't matter, and the only remaining option was total or partial embarrassment, the Wallabies stopped being spectators and began to trust themselves.
By that time though, the All Blacks had earned the right to have a smoko.
They might be one of the most historically ruthless teams in world sport, but they are human.
For the most part, last night we helped them look super human.
There were too many moments to choose from in terms of determining the difference between the mindset of the All Blacks and the Wallabies, but perhaps it was the try on full-time that said it all.
The All Blacks wanted more. The Wallabies looked as if they couldn't be bothered.
Originally published as Wallabies let themselves down, badly

It's All "Write", a Macromolecule Word Splash
Lesson 23 of 30
Objective: Students will demonstrate their conceptual understanding of condensation, hydrolysis and carbohydrates through a creative art design and writing task.
Big Idea: Creative associations between content specific words are a measure of students' conceptual understanding.
Warm-Up: For each statement below, determine what organic compound; simple sugar (SC) complex sugar (CC ) would be appropriate.
- I have a track meet today at 3:00pm. ___________
- I have a cross country meet tomorrow. ________
- Breakfast ____________
- Late night snack _______
Given the two previous lessons, Saltine Lab and Monomers make Polymers, this Warm-Up serves to review concepts related to polymers, condensation, hydrolysis and carbohydrates.
Listen for accuracy of the responses, even when students are responding chorally as a group. Assess individual student understanding by asking individual students if they agree or disagree with the choral response and then ask why they agree or disagree. Asking students to explain the "why" helps to assess the depth of content comprehension. Also, extending student responses beyond the choral response to random selection creates an environment and expectation that you are a teacher who calls on all students for responses.

Concept Review
Create and copy sets of BINGO cards on 8 ½ x 11 paper. Make two cards per page.
- Issue a BINGO card to each student.
- Display a BINGO Word List and instruct students to choose one word for each blank space on their BINGO card, leaving one space on the card unfilled. Instruct students to write the word, "FREE" in this space. Be sure to allocate no more than 5 minutes for this task or some students will take an inordinate amount of time pondering which words to choose for their cards.
- Instruct students to fill the one blank space with the word, FREE. This blank space serves a FREE space that students can use as they see fit each round of the game.
- Randomly pull one word at a time from a paper bag or envelope. Instead of reading the word, define the term. Instruct students to listen closely to your definition, clue, analogy or comparison of the term.
- Explain that students will mark an "X" in the space that matches the definition instead of using game pieces.
- Pull terms and give definitions, clues or comparisons until someone calls "BINGO, indicating that (s)he has filled his/her card with 5 across, 5 down or 5 diagonal.
- Require the student who calls "BINGO" to state the term and give their own definition for each of the filled spaces before issuing the student a reward. Make sure students know that the intent is that they use their own definitions when checking their cards and not the information that was provided by the teacher. This check is a great way to assess if students learned the content.
- Provide incentives based on your class's preference. Some classes prefer bonus points and other classes prefer an immediate prize like candy.
- Conduct 2-3 rounds of BINGO before ending the review activity.
Conducting a review of content equips students to work independently or with less support during the Independent Practice part of the lesson.

Guided Practice
Inform students that the culminating assignment consists of students creating a word splash to demonstrate their understanding of condensation, hydrolysis and carbohydrates.
A word splash is a creative and visual display of terms on a page with sentences connecting two or more of the words or phrases.
Share an overview of how to complete a word splash.
Display and read the carbohydate word splash instructions to the class. Ask students to look at the word list and consider why these 18 words are listed with the main term, carbohydrates. Look for students to identify that the listed terms relate to carbohydrates.
Read the words aloud to students. Tell the students that they need to connect each of the words with the term, carbohydrates in a sentence. They need to do this for all of the words on the word splash. It may be helpful to show students 1-2 examples of student work. Explain that the finished product will have two parts:
Product #1
Students will create a visually appealing arrangement of a given set of terms around the main theme, Carbohydrates.
Students will use the paper, markers and colored pencils provided.
Product #2
Tell the students that they need to express the relationship of each of the 18 words with the main word, Carbohydrates in sentences that clearly demonstrate how the two terms are related. They need to do this for all of 18 words on the Word Splash.
Encourage student to use their notes to check for accuracy of the sentences after first attempting to write the sentence without assistance. Instruct students to underline the use of the term in the sentence.
Model how to complete Part 2 of the word splash. Think aloud as you create a sentence so that students will be able to hear the thinking process used to make a correct association between two terms. For example:
Think Aloud Script:
"I know that mono means one so a monomer is one unit. How can I associate the words monomer and carbohydrate? Before I use my notes, let me think about what I already know. Oh, I remember. The monomer of a carbohydrate is glucose. So, my sentence can be "Glucose is a monomer of a carbohydrate. Let me check to see if I have used both words and underlined the word I am associating with carbohydrate. Yes, I am done with this sentence."
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Independent Practice
Help students grow in their confidence to work independently on this assignment which they design, in large part without specifications about how to complete part 1. Affirm their work and ideas for displaying the words in any creative manner that they choose. Walk around the room and encourage those students who are struggling to complete the visual component of the task. Guide students to think about how they want to depict the terms before they commit the idea to paper with the markers.
For part 2, the writing process can be highly effective in strengthening students' concept comprehension. But, often students will struggle with an assignment like which this requires them to take a concrete subject and apply it to a less concrete task. Expect the frustration that some will have and be available to assist them as they work through part 2 of the task of writing sentences associations between two terms. Remind students that the notes are available as a resource but encourage them to attempt to write the sentences using what they know before they use the books as a resource.
The student work samples evidence the level of understanding students have of the concepts based on the high quality of the work products. word splash1 shows how a student used arrows to represent the relationship between sentences about carbohydrates and the word, carbohydrate. word splash2 is illustrated differently. This student displays several independent thoughts about terms associated with the word, carbohydrates. word splash3 shows how another student chose to display the word splash literally by drawing a water drop with the terms around it and the sentences on the back of the paper. word splash4 shows how another student chose to display the terms as pieces of a puzzle.
The greatest benefit of having students complete a word splash is that students's work gives insight about how they make associations and view relationships about the content.
Resources (4)
Resources (4)
Allow students to share part 1 or part 2 of their work with the class. For part 1, ask students to share if there was a reason for how the words were displayed on the paper. Listen for reasons that convey a depth of understanding about the associations between the words. For part 2, listen to the sentences and clarify or correct any sentences that are incorrect. Use the completed Word Splash as student work displays in the classroom.

Someone sent me a sachet of this tea and I tried it today. The sachets are supposed to be for 2 cups of tea so I got the biggest mug I could find. And had it straight, no sugar for a change.
I thought it was pretty good. A delicate green tea and a lot of citrus flavor but not too much. More vegetal than fruity. If I put in an order with Harney & Sons I'll get some more of this.
