I love my new place! I do, I do. BUT, it has come with its share of unusual challenges. Last month, I wrote about the huge column conundrum in my kitchen. I solved that problem and dove head first into the next one: creative lighting solutions. The building I live in was once the RCA record company. Records (remember those?) were pressed here for almost 100 years, but it went vacant in the early 1990s. The building was converted into luxury lofts a decade ago. The only "luxury" that's missing though is wiring for light switches in the bedrooms and living room. Luckily, the bathrooms, kitchen, and walk-in closets are wired and well lit. So, with an "S" on my chest, I decided that this is a challenge I am happy to tackle on my own.
My guy and I first discussed bringing in an electrician to install cool ceiling lighting, and we got a permit to do so. But, when we couldn't decide if we'd prefer a ceiling fan instead, I had to take matters into my own hands to keep us from bumping into furniture. Truthfully, because the place has 12ft windows in each room and we are facing a bridge, we get a good deal of light at night. However, I found that to be no reason not to create more functional solutions.
The first was super simple. String lights placed atop our wood dresser provide lovely ambient light when the sun goes down. I also placed a few lamps around the apartment where we read and sip tea.
The next solution was the most creative! Because I studied metalsmithing in graduate school, I look for any opportunity to bring metals into the house and my design work. Therefore, when I saw this cool DIY on The Gathered Home, I was all over it! I did my own remix to it using just a bulb instead of a pendant light, which meant more work. But, I really dig the aesthetic of Edison bulbs and wanted to show one off.
I cut the 10 feet of copper tube by hand and wired it together making my own shape, which was inspired by the original. Hanging anything from 14ft ceilings with an air duct and concrete blocks in the way was not an option. So, I got a flagpole, spray painted it gold, then chopped it to be sure the light fixture hung directly in the center of my dining room table. It came out great. I simply adore it, and it was so fun to do.
My most recent lighting project involved a little upcyling, which is my favorite thing to do! My daughter had three pastel-colored pendant lights that she just never really used. Instead of letting them collect dust on a shelf in her closet, I decided to put them to good use over the kitchen counter. I enjoy sitting at the kitchen counter with my laptop after dinner to get work done online. However, with the lack of direct lighting in the area, it hasn't really worked out for me…until now.
A fellow designer friend, who knows how much I love to upcycle, contacted me when she came across these large vintage coffee burlap bags in her attic. I gleefully snatched them up, knowing I would find many great ways of utilizing them. Covering my child's pastel pendant lampshades would be project numero uno. It was really as simple as measuring, cutting, and Mod Podging the burlap onto the pastel light shades, overlapping in the center back and folding the excess over the edges for a clean finish.
The fun part was discovering that the side seams of the coffee bags made awesome decorative detail down the center of the pendant lights! Once the light fixtures were dry and ready to hang the next day, the real work begun: drilling holes into the drop ceiling over the counter to screw in hooks from, which the fixtures would hang. Once done, I was so excited to plug them in, and to enjoy well-lit quiet time with my PC at the kitchen counter for the first time.
Have you had to configure creative ways to solve unusual issues in your living space? I'd love to hear about them! Please leave comments or tweet me @jypsealeather.

This is the blog of one family that fled Hurricane Katrina, and their attempt to save their home. Michele M. of Slidell, Louisiana gives a firsthand account of her family's ordeal. Michele evacuated to Orlando, Florida with her children; her husband stayed behind.

My husband called tonight; he is fine. Britta got to talk to him but she got real upset. The stress is just getting to everyone. I have made a decision that this will be my last blog. I will no longer search the Internet for the latest information, nor will I flip frantically through the television channels trying to get the latest news. I have to stop. All of the horrific stories that are coming out are too much to handle. My children are picking up on my stress.
Tonight the kids and I will simply stay up, watch cartoons, eat chocolate chip cookies and snuggle. Tomorrow, I will look for an RV to live in until the house is finished. After that we will order a pizza, bake cookies and watch even more cartoons. We will be fine. Life goes on. We have each other and that's all that matters.

We might be able to go home as soon as October 1st. That's when we hope the power will be back, but I'm not holding my breath. I am calling around trying to find a motor home for us to live in until then. My parents are living in our company's model home.
My daughter Britta is not holding up very well. She cries a lot for her dad. My son Steele is still too young to realize that he hasn't seen his dad in over a week.
In early August we went to see The Wiggles in concert. When we evacuated Slidell, she was wearing her Dorothy the Dinosaur hat he bought her from the show. She was wearing it yesterday, telling everyone that her daddy bought it for her.

I have not heard from my husband in two days. My brother-in-law said he saw him this morning and he looked bad: overworked with no sleep. Last time I talked to him, he was heading to New Orleans.
My parents always told me and my sisters to keep an axe in your attic in case you get trapped by floodwaters. I will never forget those words, and I will pass them on to my children.

I can't believe what I am hearing on television. A reporter is mad because there is a building on fire and there is no one from the fire department to put it out. Come on now. They have to make choices. Right now it's a choice between putting out a fire where no lives are in danger, or go out and help rescue people who are still trapped. NOPD and state police are doing the best they can.
Some local websites are estimating that approximately 1,500 people are still stuck on roofs in St. Bernard parish.
The police, firemen, EMTs, doctors, and others who are trying to rescue strangers, are truly some of the finest people in America. They are the only people who are courageous enough to stay and face danger.
If you do research on New Orleans, you will see that it is a beautiful but very dangerous city, even prior to Katrina. There are some legit people who need help, but some are just taking advantage.
What is happening in New Orleans is an embarrassment to everyone who is from that area. I expected better. It is a tough time, and everyone must ban together to help your neighbor out, not kill or rob them.
Mayor Nagin of New Orleans is doing the best he can with what he has. It's not his fault. He is begging for help. We have to pull together. All we have left is each other.

I just saw an interview where a woman was complaining about being in the Superdome. She was upset because they didn't heat up her MRE. At least she had food. My husband and dad didn't have any food until we sent some to them. They called us begging us for food.
My dad and my husband build houses for a living. They are currently in our company trucks labeled Bluelake L.L.C. with the slogan "Beautiful Homes...Attention to Detail." People are stopping them asking them to please put a tarp on their roof to prevent further damage or to help repair their homes. I contacted the Army Corps of Engineers in Memphis to offer our men since they are already in Slidell and could get started right away.
The girlfriend of one of our friends who evacuated to the Orlando area tried to leave tonight with more supplies for the guys. On the Turnpike, she had a blow out and didn't have a spare. She got word to me, but I was not able to contact her for three hours. I called Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) since I had no idea where she was. All I knew was that she was alone in unfamiliar territory with a cell phone that didn't work.
FHP went looking for her, and I just got word that they found her and are taking care of her. Thank you FHP.
I took the kids to the Disney shopping village tonight and got them some clothes. My daughter Britta was so excited.
Nextel direct connect is beginning to work again in Slidell, so we are getting more information from there. My mom's house has the most damage. It appears to be structurally unsound. I think we may have lost her home completely. My sister's house faired the best. I may have pictures of the damage coming soon from my brother-in-law.
When we were leaving Disney Village, Britta looked at me and said, "Mom, today was a great day." I didn't know what to say. With all this death, destruction and desperation, I realized WE were so lucky. She was right, today was a great day.

I just heard from our friend Rob. He and his family evacuated New Orleans. They have eight feet of water in their home and an unknown amount of water at his business. He is en route to Monroe, Louisiana. He is trying to drop off his wife and kids with family. From there, he will head to Baton Rouge where they are trying to set up a temporary office.
I talked to my husband very briefly. I hear the stress in his voice. I don't know what to do. Rob has also lost everything and only has $9 in his pocket. He has a wife and three children, all under the age of seven.
My sister's friend is heading to Franklinton, LA to rescue her aunt and uncle. They called her stating that they're trapped in their home by trees, with no water and food. Along with her husband, she left from Atlanta with chainsaws to try and get them help.
My grandfather called. He got 13 feet of water in his house. It is a total loss.
My cousin called. He and his family rode out the storm at my uncle's house. Their house is sitting on their neighbor's house. They have lost everything. They have three very young children.
I can't sleep or eat. My mind just goes a mile a minute. I am scared. I am scared for my loved ones who are in Slidell. My daughter Britta asked me today when she is going home. She talks about her birthday party that all of her friends from school were going to come to. I still have not told her that she probably won't have a birthday party this year.
Anyone reading this: Please stay away from Slidell. There is no food, water, or shelter. Conditions are very dangerous. Slidell police have run out of gas and are on foot. It's worse than you can imagine.

I am so angry. How dare these people start shooting at helicopters that are trying to rescue them! I am worried to death about my dad, my husband, and both my brothers-in-law that we sent with supplies. Things should not get that bad in Slidell. Don't get me wrong, things are bad, but civil unrest is totally uncalled for. If they are looting supplies to feed themselves, then let them go. If they are shooting and looting just because they can, then police should shoot first. I have been warning my husband of all the carjackings. The only thing that is keeping my family and friends safe is that the bridge from Slidell to New Orleans was destroyed. I hope the people who need to be rescued are. As far as looters that are shooting at potential rescuers, God will sort them out.
Just got a phone call from my little sister's friend who is in Baton Rouge. He states that conditions are getting worse. Right after he left Wal-Mart, it was robbed. He said he is hearing about rapes. He is trying to get out. Mom got a call from her friend that lives down the street from her old house. They spent one night in their attic and another on a wet mattress on the front lawn. Still no word on my friend's father-in-law.

Today was hard. I have been working the phones trying to find a Blackberry, fuel, and heavy equipment. I promised to take my daughter to Disney World today, but we never made it. I finally left the house and went to Walgreens. My husband called while I was gone. Walgreens was great. They filled my son's prescription, which didn't have any refills left (it was just for a cream for dry skin). They also refilled my dad's heart medication. The pharmacist was extremely helpful.
I did speak to my husband David earlier today. It sounded like everything was taking a toll on him. You could hear it in his voice. He just wanted someone to talk to. When he said "I love you," his voice cracked. It's hard to stay strong when you just want to cry. The phone call that followed was much better. I think he just got upset over the devastation. My brother-in-law (sister's husband) left for Slidell earlier today carrying fuel and food. My other brother-in-law (David's brother) just left. He is also carrying fuel, food and clothes.
I can't believe people are looting and carjacking people. I am just beside myself. I can understand looting a food store for necessities and supplies, but jewelry stores? We saw one guy with a piano. We did see one lady walking out with the diapers and wipes. I totally understand looting to care for your children.
Tonight I went to Wal-Mart and got clothes and other items for my husband. My father-in-law likes coffee in the morning. I went and got him some, but while getting the cream I just broke down and cried. I saw the hazelnut cream that David likes in his coffee and it just hit me that I don't know when I will see him again.
Every night I would set the coffeemaker up and put his coffee mug out along with his hazelnut coffee creamer. I don't know when I will able to do that again seeing that I no longer have a coffee pot being that my kitchen has been destroyed along with everything else.
My little girl is asking for her daddy. She keeps telling everyone that she lost him. She cried herself to sleep tongiht. I got her and my son some books and toys since they don't have anything.
I talked to my friend today. The last time I talked to her was on Saturday while I was driving to Orlando. She and her family went to Baton Rouge. I have been leaving e-mails for her. They finally have electricity again, and she was able to answer me late tonight. She was crying so hard she could hardly breathe. Her parents have water to their rooftops and her father-in-law is missing. He tried to ride the storm out in New Orleans. Her in-laws live near City Park which flooded. As of this blog entry, still no word.

Heard from my husband last night. He is asking for food, ice and water. He states that conditions are unbearable. I am not to come home until it is safe and there is electricity — possibly three to four months. I have no money. I will not be getting a paycheck tomorrow, so I don't know how I am going to pay my bills.
My brother-in-law hosts a boat website classicmako.com, though it might currently be down. Some people have been in contact with him. One man in Tampa is giving us a trailer, generator, miscellaneous supplies, gas cans, and food. My brother-in-law is going to pick it up today and will try to head to Slidell with these supplies. We had to go buy a truck yesterday to get supplies to them. These people on this website are coming together and donating supplies. Everyone has been so nice to us.
Last night was the first night I didn't sleep with the television on since Thursday. I just gave up. It is what it is. I can't change anything. I have promised my children that we are going to Disney World. They are excited because we haven't left the house since we got here on Saturday. I have been too scared to leave in case my husband calls. My 11-month-old son needs his medicine refilled, but there is no doctor in Slidell to okay the refill. I can't find our friends that lived in New Orleans and Metairie. I can't find our friends who lived in Slidell, but all our family members are now accounted for.

We will be staying in Orlando indefinitely. We have been given secondhand information of major destruction in Slidell. I have been told that where I live we had a 25-foot storm surge. I doubt my house is still there, but do not know for sure. The really bad news is that my mom is my neighbor to the right, my sister is my neighbor to the left, and my in-laws live on the next street over. So I can't just go stay with family; they also have nothing left.
My husband called at about 2:30 am CT this morning from a satellite phone. He is okay. We still have not heard from my uncle who stayed in Slidell. No one can reach him. My sister-in-law and her 6-week-old daughter evacuated with me, but my brother and father-in-law went to Hattiesburg. We have not heard from them since Sunday before the storm made landfall.
I will begin calling my creditors and mortgage company and ask them what to do. I can't pay my bills. I have no job, no money, no home, but I do have two children to feed and clothe. I left my husband all of the money I had. I can use credit cards, but he will need cash.
I have not told my daughter what has happened. She is 3 (turning 4 in October). My son is 11 months (he turns 1 next month.) I had all of these birthday party things up on the second floor, but I doubt they made it. New Orleans is flooding now. At times, all of us just bust out crying. We saw on the television today a man whose wife just told him to take care of the kids as he was forced to let her go. Everyone here were just crying. I can't sleep. I just need information.
The kids are picking up on the stress in the house from everyone, but how do you tell your children that they can't go home because it's a possibility we don't have a home? There are no more toys, no more swing set, and I don't know when they will see daddy again.

We found out tonight that we have lost everything. My husband can't make it to our house due to the water. It is too high. We have been told that there is chest-deep water on Old Spanish Trail which is about two miles to our east. The lake is in my home tonight. We are waiting for aerial views of our area. We lived in Lakeshore Estates Subdivision off of Oak Harbor Blvd. in Slidell in St. Tammany Parish. We literally lived on the lake. My husband has refused to let me come home. We have two children, an 11-month-old and a 3-year-old. We are monitoring FOX News 24 hours a day. We have been told that all communication has been lost in St. Tammany. It looks like Orlando, Florida will be my new home. I was born and raised in Slidell, Louisiana, so this is really hard.
Even though I have lost everything, I am truly rich tonight. I have my children and my husband. Everyone in my family is homeless tonight but safe, and that is truly a blessing. — Michele

After what seems like a decade, it's finally here. Americans get to vote tomorrow, and say goodbye to those endless attack ads on TV and those political images with words on them that are always false, but that one friend always shares on Facebook. We made it, everyone!
You've known for months who you are voting for, unless you're an idiot who is somehow still undecided, but do you know how you're going to vote on the ballot issues? That's right, folks, ballot measures are back, and they probably will have a more direct and immediate impact on your life.
So let's take a look at some of the big issues out there. As I did two years ago, I'll tell you which way you should vote tomorrow.
Issue: Whether to require pornographic film actors to wear condoms (California)
With an ongoing state budget crisis, a drought of historical proportions and sports fans in the state murdering each other in parking lots, California is finally tackling the most important problem: dudes not wrapping it up when boning on film for cash. The proposal would require male actors to wear condoms in scenes involving vaginal or anal sex. This seems link a stupid idea. When you're looking for a fantasy, you don't want to be reminded of real-world issues. Entertainment comes (har!) before anything else. Did Evel Knievel work with a net?
How to vote: No.
Issue: Whether to expand state property tax exemptions for senior citizens (Florida)
Yeah, we're going from adult films to property taxes, strap in, folks. Florida, the California of the East Coast, is considering loosening up its property tax exemption requirements for senior citizens, so that more old people qualify. Florida exists mostly on a meth-based economy, which you may know isn't taxed. That's why it's important that the state tax what few legal industries exist within its borders, like tourism and taking in retirees. Besides, we coddle our senior citizens. They talk about how hard it was back in their day, then demand free healthcare, discounts to movies and Longmire to stay on the air. They are a burden on society. I say we tax 'em!
How to vote: No.
Issue: Whether to allow the sale of beer and wine seven days a week (Oklahoma)
This ballot measure would actually be an overhaul of the Oklahoma laws regarding the sale of alcohol, but being able to sell "full-strength" beer and wine all week long is the biggie. First off, I don't want to live anywhere that won't let me buy alcohol whatever day I choose. Keep big government out of my fridge. Secondly, what's this "full-strength" stuff? Do they only sell half strength beer on Sundays? That's not right. Thirdly, does this mean that it's been legal for liquor to be sold seven days a week, but beer and wine have had to sit it out on the Lord's Day? I think you knew which way I was going to go on this issue before you started reading.
How to vote: Yes.
Issue: Whether to allow state judges to work past the age of 75 (Oregon)
Back in 1960, Oregon voters decided to make their state judges hang up the robes when they reached 75. Now they're wondering if they should lift it. When was the last time you talked to someone over 75-years-old? In less than five minutes, they say something that's wildly incorrect about society because they either saw it on Fox News or just have outdated notions in their head. You have to smile and nod, then change the subject, because you know you can't argue with them. Do you want these people to decide your sentence?
How to vote: No.
Issue: Whether to ban slavery for criminals (Colorado)
Back in 1865, we as a country decided in a calm and peaceful manner that slavery was probably not a good thing and should be banned. Colorado wasn't a state back then. So when it did enter statehood in 1876, no one thought to check whether the new state's constitution said it was A-OK to exempt prisoners from that whole emancipation thing. It is legal in the state to make inmates work and not pay them a cent. Call me a softy, but I think people should be paid for doing work unless they're interns. And when those inmates are finally released back into society, they will need to rebuild their lives and adjust to society. That's why they will need weed money.
How to vote: Yes.

Curb your enthusiasm: John Moulson, head of finance, Rugby Football Union. With 14 years in the can at the RFU - initially as a management accountant before becoming head of finance and the sole person responsible for reporting into the finance director - Moulson's knowledge of the nuts and bolts of the £120m turnover organisation is second to none.However, simply understanding the finances and effectively managing the company accounts is no longer enough for the top job. At Financial Director magazine the chorus of voices singing the tune that the FD and CFO role has become increasingly operational gets ever louder, and this has been borne out by recent changes at the RFU. In January, it announced a major organisational restructure following the arrival last September of John Steele as chief executive that culled several departments and merged key roles: it dropped its CFO position and merged the work into a newly-created chief operating officer role - adding to that HR, legal and governance, planning and reporting, people development and marketing and communications.

Greening the Henry Street Settlement
June 30th, 2011, 7:47 pm
Rain gardens, solar panels and an efficient new mechanical system were some of the big ideas generated at the Henry Street Settlement eco-charrette last week. While those measures may be the most attention-getting of the future energy retrofit, the small ones – adding roof insulation, painting the roof white and installing efficient lighting – will also be critical to providing major energy and cost savings.
These ideas were generated at last week's all-day workshop, attended by a group of prominent experts (see list below) in preservation architecture, green building technology, mechanical engineering and landscape architecture. See photos below. This interdisciplinary group volunteered their Saturday to investigate how to apply sustainability measures to the historic Henry Street Settlement Headquarters. Their goal was to develop a phased plan that can save energy, save money, provide a more comfortable working environment and contribute to making New York City more sustainable.
The organization is located in three circa 1830 Federal-style row houses on the Lower East Side, which are designated New York City and National Historic Landmarks. With a challenge grant from The J.M. Kaplan Fund and funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, MAS has been working in collaboration with the Pratt Center, Li/Saltzman Architects and Thornton Tomassetti to demonstrate to policy-makers and the general public how to make efficiency gains and lower operating costs to small historic buildings without compromising their architectural integrity or impacting durability.
Defining the Problems
The charrette began with a review of two energy audits, an introduction to the historical context of the site and headquarters, and discussing the building's operational challenges with Settlement's director of facilities. Through those discussions it became clear that this building shares a problem with many in this city: overheating. One of the audits showed that some rooms are heated to more than 85 degrees in the winter, which causes the staff to open windows and even turn on the air conditioning in the winter. Experts agreed that what the building needs is a mechanical system that doesn't waste energy or heat, which will drive down operational costs and make the building more comfortable for the people who work there.
Over the course of the day the experts discussed sustainability measures related to the building's envelope, site, mechanical systems and water usage. The challenge was to find a balance among measures that would improve energy efficiency, provide the greatest "payback" of those measures (i.e., how long it would take to recoup the investment) and improve the building's comfort level and overall "greenness".
Learning from the Past
Another overriding goal was to retain the architectural character of the landmarked buildings, including the historic features that make old buildings inherently green. Built long before electricity was used to provide light or fuel mechanical systems, these buildings were designed with energy-free techniques that provide natural light, circulate cool air in the summer and hold warm air in the winter. These "passive systems" include large windows that provide natural daylight, cross ventilation to capture breezes and thick masonry walls that hold in heat. Historic photographs show that these buildings used awnings to shade the building in the summer and shutters to provide further protection from the elements in the winter. Over time, changes to the building's interiors have blocked some cross ventilation and air conditioning units have prevented windows from being fully operational. The original historic windows were found to be in very good condition, although some of the replacement windows were malfunctioning. The experts decided to weatherize and not replace the windows, given their good condition, how they contribute to the architecture of the building and because recent studies question the efficiency gains and environmental impact of the replacement windows.
Sustainable Open Space
Bringing sustainability measures to Henry Street's open space was another important topic. The headquarter buildings have rear yards (which once contained the nation's first playground), and are adjacent to the small Martin Luther King Jr. Park. The sustainability of these spaces will be improved through the creation of a rain garden, in which water will be captured from storms, stored and then used to water the gardens. Creating such a system will also help achieve citywide sustainability goals by preventing stormwater from deluging the city's overburdened sewer system.
Next Steps
What's next? MAS' consultant, Michael Kriegh at the Pratt Center, is compiling all of the ideas from the eco-charrette, determining paybacks and creating a phased plan.In the first phase, we expect that with a modest investment in adjusting the mechanical systems, the instillation of efficient lighting and other measures, the Settlement will realize a significant reduction in energy usage, and lower costs to operate its headquarters. Later phases will explore the use of solar panels, diverting storm water into a rain garden and new mechanical systems that will even further reduce energy usage and green the buildings. Once complete, the building will use less energy, be cheaper to operate, and perhaps most importantly to the people who work there, be healthier and more pleasant.

Microfluidic illicit drug detection platform
We have developed a reliable, portable and low-cost device for the detection of illicit drugs.
Around 8% of working age Australians have suffered a drug-use disorder in their lifetimes. Criminal behaviour, domestic violence and mortality all surround those affected. It is estimated that substance abuse costs the Australian economy more than $50 billion per year.
On-site testing is one of the most effective methods of discouraging drug abuse. Despite this, few fast, accurate and low cost testing methods have been available until now. Our new device uses acoustically-driven microfluid technology that enhances the chemi-luminescent detection of drugs in physiological fluids. It is faster, more accurate and smaller than any other device available.
We have demonstrated that police can use the device to detect illicit drugs in drivers as easily as they test for alcohol with a breathalyser. Other applications for the platform include workplace drug tests, patient monitoring in a hospital setting and point-of-care diagnostics.

Ghost hunter (fun)
- Susan E. Howell
Neophyte Ghost Hunters start here!
Tollington Hall case sets the scene for the rest of the series, introducing characters, methods, and menaces. Brilliant! Ancient Burial Barrow is my favorite. Nothing in the episode is ever scene by Lee and Bennett, only experienced. This is the most subtle way to frighten. Lord Wentworth's statue is pure occult detective at the turn of the century. The episode is delightfully filled with occult references. The final episode is Professor Taylor's Final Experiment. It's a combo of science and occult both H.G. Wells, Thomas Edison, and Jules Verne would've loved. Volume 1 stands alone.
Having listened to a lot of old time radio, I expected to know all the answers and what CRT pulled off with Jarrem Lee had me ready to buy the next volume!
Dandelion Wine, Something Wicked, Captain Blood, Ticonderoga, Jeeves & Wooster. Jarrem Lee establishes the line for Jerry Robbins and CRT in their occult detective shows.
Yup; and again.

This may signal new danger for Ford in other Explorer rollover lawsuits.
The car maker has defended itself in court saying Bridgestone/Firestone Inc tyres, which were recalled last year, were to blame for accidents.
''Now the floodgates may be open,'' said Garo Mardirossian, the lawyer who represented the family who sued over injuries suffered when its sport-utility vehicle rolled.
''A jury for the first time in the Explorer's history found the vehicle to have a defect in its high propensity to roll over. The real story is: it's not the tyres.''
The Barstow Superior Court jury voted 10-2 that the 1994 Explorer was defective due to a high center of gravity and faulty suspension, Mardirossian said. Barstow is in the Mojave desert east of Los Angeles.
Ford isn't liable for damages because the jury also found that a dealership negligently failed to fix a vibration that caused the truck to veer into a freeway barrier. The dealership faces the damages phase of the trial, beginning today.

It seems auspicious that I should find the section on his stay in Nantes from Stendhal's Memoires of a Tourist (1838) today, 1st January 2016, as I plan my voyage to Nantes. A good friend and colleague at the CNRS, Darwin Smith, had recommended I read Stendhal's travel writing many years ago but I first had to tackle Le Rouge et le Noir (1830). Stendhal's opening section on his first entry for Nantes in June 1837 serves as a good reminder for the flying passenger today; while the other travellers scramble for their suitcases Stendhal, with just his night-bag under his arm, strolls off the landing board and is one of the first to set foot on paving stones of the great city.
Where does he go? What advice does he give us for our sojourn in Nantes?
French Lesson for Today: There are days when one would wish to be elsewhere.
Il est des jours où l'on souhaiterait être ailleurs. The verb to wish here is souhaiter, and is in the conditional mood conjugated in the third person with on; on can be used to translate one in older, formal English or in more everyday speech, we or they.

Mosquito 2006 - 2007
Peewee 2004 - 2005
Bantam 2002 - 2003
Midget 1999 - 2001
Registration Costs are:
Mosquito - $235.00 + $50.00 refundable volunteer bond + non refundable $50.00 Tryout fee
Peewee - $245.00 + $50.00 refundable volunteer bond + non refundable $50.00 Tryout fee

Midget - $270.00 + $50.00 refundable volunteer bond + non refundable $50.00 Tryout fee
Team placement is determined by tryouts typically held towards the end of March. Tryouts run over a three day period and are held at the Crosslink County Sportsplex in Clairmont. Schedule information can be found under the registration tab on the main page of our website www.gpmba.ca.
Registrants will be evaluated on skill level, sportsmanship and coachability.
GPMBA selects evaluators based on their ability to be impartial, evaluators will be the same individuals for the entire tryout process. The evaluation process also included the current coach of each team.
If there are concerns regarding an evaluation, the evaluation sheet may be requested to be viewed. Evaluations can only be discussed with the youth's parent or current legal guardian.
Once the evaluation process is over team rosters will be placed on GPMBA's website www.gpmba.ca
The AA season runs from Mid April to July or August depending on a teams placement. As the AA program is competitive in nature and team numbers are limited, full commitment by each player is necessary. Please feel free to approach a coach or evaluator during tryouts to discuss anything that may impact your level of commitment during the season.
If a player is not chosen for placement on a AA team after completing evaluations, those players will be assigned to a House League team. If there is enough interest there is the potential for a 'A' Provincial team later on in the season. 'A' Provincial teams travel and compete for typically three weekends in July.
Team fees associated with the AA Rep program (for players who are selected for a team):
On average a $250.00 team fee is required (this is on top of registration fees), this is to cover various team expenses such as Umpire fees, team equipment, extra diamond maintenance, etc.
Mandatory Rep Uniforms are required. GPMBA supplies each player with 1 Jersey ($50.00 refundable deposit required), players must purchase mandatory white baseball pants, red belt. Approximate cost between $75.00 - $100.00
Practices and Travel Info
Teams practice Tuesday - Thursday 6:00 to 8:30. Possibly Monday - Wednesday depending on team numbers and diamond availability. Coaches may also schedule additional practice times.
Teams can expect to travel 8 to 9 weekends during the season. Travel will be to various places in Alberta. Teams will generally host one weekend at home. Baseball Alberta generally releases the dates for weekends of play for each level in January. We will provide a link on our website as soon as it's available.

Helen Clark Addresses National Human Rights InstitutionsMar 23, 2010
Thank you for the invitation to address this 23rd Session of the International Co-ordinating Committee of National Institutions for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights.
I understand that this may be the first time that an Administrator of UNDP has addressed this Committee. Given that we work in partnership with many National Human Rights Institutions through our country programming, I am sure it won't be the last.
UNDP's relationships with national human rights institutions flow from our core mission of human development. Human development is about expanding the choices people have to lead lives which they value, the resources which would make those choices meaningful, and the security to ensure that those choices can be exercised in peace.
That means ensuring that the full range of factors which impact on human development get adequate attention.
The three pillars of the UN - peace and security, development, and human rights - are closely interlinked. UNDP's development work sits in that context. Human development embraces the range of social, economic, cultural, and political rights defined by the international community.
A number of recent UNDP publications have examined the links between human rights and human development. We have also issued guidance for development practitioners in the field on how to include human rights and governance issues in poverty reduction strategies.
Making these links between the human development approach and human rights instruments and international laws is also consistent with the approach set out in the Millennium Declaration.
By signing that document in 2000, Heads of State and Government committed themselves to upholding the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; strengthening capacity for democracy and human rights; implementing the Convention for the Elimination of the Discrimination Against Women; ensuring respect and protection for the rights of migrant workers and their families; working collectively for more inclusive political processes; and ensuring freedom of the media and public access to information.
The words of the Millennium Declaration could not be clearer: "We will spare no effort to promote democracy and strengthen the rule of law, as well as respect for all internationally recognized human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the right to development."
That provides a clear link between human rights and the eight Millennium Development Goals – around which the international community has agreed to reduce hunger and extreme poverty; achieve gender equality and universal primary school education; improve child and maternal health; halt and reverse the spread of deadly diseases; protect the environment; and forge strong global partnerships for development.
Much progress on the MDGs has been made. There have been sizeable reductions in global poverty and child mortality, and increases in primary school enrolment and access to safe drinking water.
Many countries, including some of the poorest, have recorded impressive successes. Ethiopia, for example, has tripled the net primary school enrolment ratio since 1990. The under-five mortality rate has fallen by at least forty per cent in Malawi.
Challenges remained, however, in achieving the goals even before the food, fuel, and economic crises of recent years – and, for some countries, the catastrophic natural disasters. It is estimated that the numbers of chronically hungry people living in our world had risen to over one billion by 2009 – around 130 million more than before the food crisis hit.
Global progress also tends to obscure the lack of traction for significant populations both within countries and across regions.
In particular, women, rural inhabitants, ethnic minorities, and other excluded groups often lag well behind national averages of progress on the MDG targets – even when nations as a whole are moving towards the goals.
There is a pressing need to target support to those who are excluded, build on the lessons countries and communities have learned, and make a concerted effort to overcome the bottlenecks which constrain progress.
In September of this year, a high level review Summit on the MDGs will be held at the United Nations in New York.
This is a big opportunity for world leaders to review commitments to the MDGs and agree on the concrete steps all development actors must take to accelerate progress towards them.
In doing so, I agree with the High Commissioner for Human Rights that we should "focus on improving the rights and dignity of those left behind." It is significant that the Secretary-General's report on MDG progress, "Keeping the Promise", identifies adhering to human rights as an important element in accelerating progress.
UNDP is presently heavily engaged in looking at how progress on the MDGs might be accelerated, even in the face of all the current challenges to development.
We want to base our efforts on thorough national and sub-national analysis of the structural, social, and economic causes of development successes or failures – including understanding which groups have been excluded from progress and why.
Clearly a gender perspective needs to be applied to the review. After all, it is in areas where women's needs and status have low priority that the MDGs struggle the most to be met.
Recognizing that also directs us to rights issues more generally.
The denial of human rights, and the persistence of exclusion, discrimination, and a lack of accountability are barriers to the pursuit of human development and the MDGs.
Global, regional, and national human rights institutions can play and are playing a critical role in overcoming those barriers.
There are strong complementarities between the MDGs and human rights commitments. While MDGs and human rights are separate concepts, in practice there are synergies.
We can learn from human rights approaches which seek to address the root causes of development problems. As Kofi Annan once said: "human rights can be found at the heart of every major challenge facing humanity".
I understand that some national human rights institutions are looking to use the MDGs as a 'road map' to determine their priorities, and to track and monitor progress in achieving economic, social, and cultural rights.
I am told that Malaysia, for example, took this approach in 2005. Its National Human Rights Commission, SUHAKAM, with support from UNDP, brought policy makers together to integrate human rights principles in the development and implementation of country-specific MDG targets and indicators
UNDP's role and current collaboration with the ICC and OHCHR
UNDP's work on the MDGs fits well with our long term mission to build and strengthen the national capacities and institutions which drive development progress.
Our work in this area has three components:
• We work to expand people's opportunities to participate in decision making processes, particularly those who are traditionally excluded, including women and the poor. Somewhere in the world, on average every couple of weeks, we are involved with an election. We encourage more women to enter politics and we promote the development of a free and informed media.
• We work to support legislatures becoming effective on behalf of the citizens they serve. We support initiatives in around one third of the world's national parliaments, and support the improvement of capacity in public administration to deliver basic services.
• Third, we promote better governance, including by helping countries expand access to justice, tackle corruption, and advance human rights.
As part of this effort, UNDP works to strengthen the capacity of national human rights institutions and to create them where they don't exist. We understand that the human rights institutions, which comply with the Paris Principles play an especially important role in advocating for the provisions of human rights treaties to be reflected in legislation, policy, and practice.
National human rights institutions are often short of resources, capacity, and expertise - including legal and management expertise. In this respect, assessing those capacity needs and how to meet them is an important part of the support we can give in partnership with others.
In January 2008, 94 UNDP country offices reported that they were working with national human rights institutions. In many cases, this occurred in partnership with the OHCHR and/or with an ICC regional co-ordinating committee.
This work falls within UNDP's "Justice and Human Rights" programme, an area in our governance portfolio where we have had growing requests for our services from countries.
Working together with the Asia Pacific Forum of national human rights institutions, for example, UNDP's Regional Centre in Bangkok has undertaken assessments for the National Human Rights Commission of Malaysia and the Human Rights Commission of the Maldives. Two further assessments are planned for 2010.
An example of what UNDP and national human rights institutions are able to do in partnership can be found in the Philippines. There the National Human Rights Commission is a main implementing partner for UNDP's rule of law and human rights programmes. With capacity support from the UN, I am told that the Commission was able to influence government policy in favor of human rights- based approaches to development, and develop a pool of trainers who can support human rights activities through government and partner projects.
More than half our 135 country offices reported in 2008 that they were undertaking work explicitly to support the rights of groups which are discriminated, vulnerable, and/or otherwise marginalized; and more than a third reported that they were assisting efforts to harmonize national legislation with internationally ratified human rights law.
UNDP's role on human rights is neither a normative nor a monitoring one, but rather one of developing capacity. We are a development organisation – not a specialized human rights agency. That is why our partnership with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights is so important, as it brings technical expertise to the table.
We have jointly developed a UNDP-OHCHR Toolkit to guide our work with national human rights institutions. The aim is to provide our staff with a practical resource to support the establishment and consolidation of these important institutions.
We have also worked together, under the leadership of the UN Independent Expert on Minority Issues, to publish a UNDP Resource Guide and Toolkit on Minorities in Development. It will help development practitioners to understand the conceptual issues and principles related to the promotion and protection of minority rights, as well as to draw on international and regional standards for engaging minorities in programming processes.
For 2010, UNDP's Regional Service Centres in Bangkok, Dakar, Johannesburg, Bratislava, Cairo, and Fiji have held discussions with their counterpart in OHCHR Regional Offices to agree on joint work programmes. These would cover capacity assessments and support for national human rights institutions, regional consultations in support of the Universal Periodic Review Process of the Human Rights Council, and other efforts in support of civil society and national human rights institutions' engagement with international human rights instruments and mechanisms.
Strengthening collaboration looking forward
Recent developments within the International Co-ordinating Committee to strengthen its accreditation system and status as an independent, legal entity also make this an opportune time for UNDP to explore ways of strengthening its relationships with the OHCHR, the ICC, and the regional co-ordinating committees. By linking our global organizations with strong regional co-ordinating committees, we can, together, identify ways in which we could improve our support for national human rights institutions within our country programmes.
UNDP benefits greatly from the expertise provided through the OHCHR. We look forward to enhancing our partnership with the Office, and with the ICC and its regional co-ordinating committees.
Other UN agencies are also important partners for national human rights institutions. The new consolidated gender entity will be a valuable addition when it is established.
It is important that our UN Country Teams recognize and draw on the independent and authoritative knowledge housed within national human rights institutions. They will be a key source of information and analysis for us going forward.
Later this morning I will be discussing with the High Commissioner for Human Rights and your incoming Chair, Rosslyn Noonan, the next steps to be taken in our strategic partnership to support the development of national human rights institutions.
We need to formalize our mechanisms for information sharing and training, and for reviewing the lessons we have learned from our work with the NHRIs. There will be much good practice to draw on.
I expect that we will meet regularly at principals' level to take these issues forward, and that this focus on support for NHRIs will be reflected in our revised Memorandum of Understanding with OHCHR.
UNDP has had a working relationship with the Asia Pacific Forum of NHRIs since the mid 1990s. We would welcome the development of such partnerships with the other regional co-ordinating bodies. I understand that discussions to that effect have been occurring with the Network of African NHRIs.
Recently the UN Development Group has set up a dedicated mechanism on human rights mainstreaming. UNDP will serve as Vice-Chair for the first year. Our responsibility for leadership within the UN Development Group carries with it the responsibility to support other agencies' mandates and to co-ordinate our efforts across agencies.
Ever since the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, the UN's Member States have negotiated a remarkable set of international human rights laws, including most recently the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Our collective challenge, however, continues to be to translate those laws into meaningful and sustainable deeds on the ground, to advance human development.
The importance of the work of the national human rights institutions represented here today in making that happen is vital. Your efforts, supported by the UN, governments, and civil society to promote, protect, mainstream, and adopt human rights within their country contexts can and often do make the difference between mere words and actions. At UNDP, we are privileged to be able to support the work of the national human rights institutions, and we look forward to strengthening our partnerships with you and your activities.

In this case, a person is allowed to stay and work inside Australia. This does not have any limit. Entire territory of Australia is included in this visa. If there are some family members who are dependent on the application holder, they can also get migration.
- Skilled Nominated (Subclass 190) Visa: This is point based system in which a state or a specific territory will sponsor the visa for an individual. In this visa, certain family members who are directly dependent on the applicant can also be included in the migrants. The applicant is allowed to work anywhere in Australian territory.

You think your business is safe but is it really? The only way to really know whether your server will resist an internal or external attack is to do a penetration test.
Step 1: Do A Comprehensive Network Assessment
The first step is to do a penetration test, sometimes referred to as simply a "pen test." A pen test is an application of an attack (a simulated attack) against your company's servers or other systems.
Sometimes, a security analyst will want to test both internal and external systems, meaning that you will be attacked from within and externally.
Many companies, however, choose to stick to an external threat assessment only. A comprehensive test utilizes both internal and external testing so that all vulnerabilities can be exposed. This external-to-internal pivot method provides good insights into the effectiveness of your company's layers of security.
If an external phishing attempt, for example, on a single user is ineffective, will another attack from the inside be more effective? If a security analyst can gain access by tricking one employee, will he be able to leverage that exploit to gain access to administrator-privileged areas?
This kind of assessment will tell you how effective your layers of security are.
Step 2: Plan And Structure For Tests
You should treat a pen test just like you would any other technical system rollout. Get your project manager up to speed on what will happen, what will be required from him or her, and the general procedure (which you can obtain from the security analyst doing the test).
Step 3: Do Upfront Planning
Most companies, like Sec-Tec, stress the need for upfront planning when it comes to time. Even with the right resources dedicated to the testing procedure, pen testing requires upfront time to plan out the details of the test, align the goals with management, and review to provide all the required details to the testing team.
You should pay special attention to the pen test team's pre-test process and request for information. For example, when IP addresses are requested, make sure that you provide them all or some ranges will be missing test coverage and you won't get an accurate test result.
Step 4: Create A Communication Plan
Communication is important. If the test involves social engineering, decide who will be involved in the test.
Social engineering is a non-technical test protocol. Analysts will attempt to gain access to your system by manipulating employees, vendors, or anyone else who has access to your building, office, or plant. Testing may involve something as innocuous as posing as IT staff, management, or a rank and file employee, to something for devious like manipulating employee property to gain access to your company's systems.
Step 5: Explore "What If" Scenarios
There are many ways that gaps and holes in your security can appear. A pen test is a great way to find them. Use this time to try various "what if" scenarios. A good pen test will always be able to find vulnerabilities. What you should be looking for are weak points – things to work on.
Step 6: Monitor The Plan
Monitor your plan during the testing procedure. While the test is being done by an external team to test layered defences, you should be documenting which systems, sensors, and teams triggered alerts.
Step 7: Post Pen Testing
After the test is done, there's more work to do. Your analyst should generate a report for you. But, he or she should also show you ways in which you can improve your security. Most testers will show you vulnerabilities in one report, but then will also show you protocols for closing those vulnerabilities, or reducing the risk they pose to your organization.
Step 8: Report To Management
Management should be part of the pen testing as well as the post-testing procedures. Most companies benefit from having one technical presentation going in-depth with the IT team and a separate, shorter, presentation for all of the middle and upper management.
Step 9: Assess Scope
Pen testing can cover a wide range of vulnerabilities. Don't limit your test to just the network or external facing systems. If you're doing this test once a year, you could combine your network test with other tests, like physical access and wireless walk around testing.
Step 10: Test Applications
Even when you're finished with the server testing, you still have more to do. Any web applications your company builds and maintains should be tested. Why? Because these applications are vulnerabilities too. So, just like with the server tests, you would repeat these steps with every app that your company owns and uses.
At the end of it all, you should have a better understanding of the vulnerabilities your company has – both internal and external.
