Open Data Workshop at Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS
News from Mar. 23, 2012
Open Government Data Workshop at Fraunhofer FOKUS Another Workshop on the topic "Open Government Data" has been held at Fraunhofer FOKUS on march 20, 2012. About 20 participants took an active interest in the survey's interims results that FOKUS draws up in cooperation with the Lorenz-von-Stein-Institute and the ÖPP Deutschland AG on behalf of the Federal Ministry of the Interior. Last year already, the research institute conducted a feasibility survey about the disclosure of Berlins economic and administration data. In September 2011, Germany's first regional Open Data Portal has been launched in Berlin – realized by FOKUS in cooperation with Berlins Senate Administration for Economics, Technology and Research and BerlinOnline.
The Federal Ministry of the Interior is now striving to find a nationwide solution to provide statistics and other data records for processing and visualization (e.g. on smartphones). Within the Open Government Survey the following areas will be analyzed systematically:
- data portfolio of the public sector
- technical standards
- legal framework
- IPR conditions and licensing for Open Government Data in Germany
- payment and operating models for the Open Government Portal

LeBron James and the Miami Heat are the two-time defending NBA champs.
So why don't they have the championship belts to prove it?
Well, see, it's because they give out rings, not belts, for winning an NBA title.
That just wasn't good enough for James, a lifelong fan of pro wrestling. Especially not after he got his very own authentic WWE belt, courtesy of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Who do i need to talk to to get one of those World Championship Belt? WWE belt. The real ones— LeBron James (@KingJames) December 30, 2013
From The People's Champ to The King @KingJames Wear my title with pride. Happy Birthday brotha! #KeepChasinGreatness pic.twitter.com/rVk98xRmAF— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) December 30, 2013
With some help from WWE chief brand officer Stephanie McMahon, James acquired customized WWE championship belts for his teammates and presented them after Wednesday's practice.
Always wanted to be the WWE Heavyweight World Champion so today I surprised my teammates with their… http://t.co/NmT44sSlVG— LeBron James (@KingJames) February 26, 2014
Wanna thank @StephMcMahon for her help with the gifts I gave my guys today! You're awesome!! #WWENetwork #Excitement #StriveForGreatness— LeBron James (@KingJames) February 26, 2014
James actually might resemble a professional wrestler Thursday against the New York Knicks. He will wear a protective mask over his broken nose.
"I've been talking to Marvel Comics for the last couple of days, and DC Comics, to try to come up with one of the greatest masks of all time," James said with a chuckle Wednesday. "So we'll see what happens."

Build Value
Fund: Sierra Ventures
Posted by carrillo on 2007-08-24
The Sierra team was highly energetic and detail oriented throughout our relationship, from diligence through building the company to exit. I was impressed by the level of commitment - the Sierra partners felt like co-founders: on call all hours, challenging our team and taking on whatever we needed to help. Although this may not be appropriate for every entrepreneur, in our case it was excellent. We had a great technology but needed leadership and market tactics. Sierra brought a level of sophistication that was, in our domain, quite clearly above the other firms with whom we spoke. Would work with them again without hesitation.PRIVATE: Members Only (662 Characters)

3 Separate Homicide Cases Proceed in South Dakota
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Separate homicide cases are proceeding in three South Dakota cities: Sioux Falls, Rapid City and Peever.
No arrests have been made in the recent deaths of 33-year-old Eustacio Marrufo at a Rapid City hotel parking lot and 50-year-old Cresencio Conde-Vargas in his Sioux Falls home. But authorities say they believe the victims knew their attackers, and that there isn't any danger to the public in either city.
Marrufo was found shot to death. Conde-Vargas died after an apparent beating.
KSFY-TV reports that a judge has set bond at $250,000 for the suspect in the Peever homicide. Twenty-three-year-old Patrick Hopkins is charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of Adam LaFramboise at a home in the northeastern South Dakota community. Hopkins could face death or life in prison if convicted.

Ryan and me were both selected to take part in the UCI Mountainbike Marathon World Championships in Villabassa/Niederdorf, Italy this weekend - Ryan riding as sole representation for Ireland and me riding as part of the German team of 15 men and 11 women. More info can be found here.
I am really looking forward to the event, to meet and ride with some of the best mountain bikers in the world, including German rider Sabine Spitz who is currently ranked first in the UCI XC rankings and 6th in the UCI Marathon rankings and Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjaa, who is possibly the best female mountain biker in the world.
Since I am still really new at this (can you believe I only started proper training last November!) and I have no idea how I compare to any of the riders really, my aims for the worlds are:
1. To finish
2. If successful, to not come last
3. If successful, to beat one or two specific girls, 3 guesses on who they are! ;)
Unfortunately my new Kona full sus won't be ready till the World Champs, so I am riding my trusty Canyon hardtail. Still wondering about tire choice, Furious Freds or Nobby Nics? Or just my favourite all rounder tires Kenda Karmas?

De Oliveira plans to light up foe
By Dayton Morinaga
Advertiser Staff Writer
By Dayton Morinaga
By the end of the Rumble On The Rock welterweight tournament, Renato Verissimo de Oliveira hopes to be smoking a victory "charuto."
In the sport of mixed martial arts, de Oliveira is known mostly by his nickname, "Charuto," which means cigar in Portuguese.
The nickname has become well known because he also happens to be one of the best welterweight fighters in the world.
"This tournament is very important," said de Oliveira, 32. "Whoever wins will be in a good position to get a big contract. You have eight really good guys in it, so the winner will get a lot of respect."
The quarterfinals of the tournament will be held Friday at the Blaisdell Center Arena during the Rumble On The Rock card. The winners will advance to the semifinals on the next ROTR card April 7.
De Oliveira was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but has been living and training in Hawai'i since 1998. He calls both places his home, and knowledgeable fans in Hawai'i have taken a liking to his style.
"I love that the people of Hawai'i cheer for me like I'm one of them," de Oliveira said. "I think maybe I look like I'm from here so that helps. And like all the fighters from Brazil, I don't give up. I will always fight my hardest."
De Oliveira will face New Mexico's Carlos Condit on Friday. In other quarterfinals: Frank Trigg of California will face Hawai'i's Ronald Jhun; Dave Menne of Minnesota will take on California's Jake Shields; Brazil's Anderson Silva will face Japan's Yushin Okami.
The weight limit is 175 pounds. At that weight class, Silva (No. 4), Trigg (No. 5), and de Oliveira (No. 6) are all ranked among the top 10 in the world.
De Oliveira's professional mixed martial arts record is 5-2, and all his fights have been against highly ranked opponents. His only losses are to world champion Matt Hughes and Trigg.
De Oliveira could get a rematch with Trigg in April if they both win Friday.
"I'm not even thinking about that," de Oliveira said. "This sport is so unpredictable. One slip, one punch, the fight is over. My only worry right now is Carlos Condit."
De Oliveira was an immediate draw at mixed martial arts events because of his successful career in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
"That's why they brought me to America," he said. "Jiu-jitsu will always be first for me. I don't like the brawling. I'm a martial arts teacher, so my background will always be about technique."
Hilo's Jay Dee Penn met de Oliveira at a jiu-jitsu class in Las Vegas in 1997. They later became roommates, and Penn persuaded de Oliveira to teach jiu-jitsu in Hilo.
Penn, who is the older brother of mixed martial arts superstar BJ Penn, is now the president of the Rumble On The Rock organization.
"We started with 10 guys in the school, and within the first two months, it jumped to 50 or 60," Jay Dee Penn said. "The word spread that we had one of the world's best jiu-jitsu black belts in Charuto, and everybody wanted to learn from him."
In those early years, one of de Oliveira's primary duties was training with BJ Penn, who is now considered the best "pound-for-pound" mixed martial arts fighter in the world.
"Charuto was working with BJ every day, so we said 'hey, you should be in the ring, too,' " Jay Dee Penn said. "And it escalated from there. It's not surprising to see why he's been so successful. We knew he had the background."
It is surprising when considering that de Oliveira's original background was in water polo. He was good enough to earn a tryout with Brazil's Olympic team.
It was also the sport that gave him his nickname.
"There were two guys named Renato on the team, so the coach told me I was tall and skinny and dark like a cigar," de Oliveira said.
During his second year of college in Brazil, de Oliveira said "everybody went crazy for jiu-jitsu" so he tried it with his friends.
Eventually, he dropped out of water polo and his college's engineering program to become a jiu-jitsu instructor and competitor.
"I hope it was the right choice," he said. "I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be as good in engineering as I am in fighting."
Hilo's Wesley "Cabbage" Correira will face Eric "Butterbean" Esch in a heavyweight "Super Fight" on Friday.
Other bouts include Scott Junk against Vilatonu Fonokalafi, Ross Ebanez against Josh Donahue, and Mike Malone against Kengo Ura.
Hilo's BJ Penn is scheduled to fight Canada's Georges St. Pierre on an Ultimate Fighting Championship card at Las Vegas on March 4. The winner is expected to earn a world title match against champion Matt Hughes.

SKF magnetic bearings installed in world's first subsea gas compression system
2015 November 10, 13:00 CET
SKF equips first ever subsea gas compression system at Statoil-operated Asgard gas field
Gothenburg, 10 November, 2015: SKF has supplied magnetic bearings for use in the world's first subsea gas compression system at the Asgard gas field off the Norwegian coast. SKF has been involved in the development of the project for five years, working in conjunction with MAN Diesel & Turbo, the manufacturer of the electric motor-driven centrifugal compressors that are a part of the overall gas compression system.
Traditionally, gas is pumped from the seabed to the surface, where it is compressed on platforms. At Asgard, the compression chambers are located on the seabed, near the wellheads, in order to maximise gas recovery and thereby prolonging the production lifetime of the gas field.
Ole Kristian Joedahl, Sales and Marketing Director, Industrial Market, says, "Our magnetic bearings played a key role in developing this autonomous subsea gas compression system, a significant step for the oil and gas industry. They simplify the system architecture by removing the need for lubricating oil, seals and gearbox. Furthermore, the magnetic bearings are frictionless, enabling higher rotation speeds, leading to smaller compressor modules and, ultimately, lighter processing plant infrastructure and reduced environmental impact."
In addition to the magnetic bearings, SKF is also providing a remote bearing control and monitoring system which facilitates accurate maintenance planning.

It's getting to where you hate to pick up a magazine, click on the TV or even go to a sporting goods store. Everywhere you turn, an instant "expert" is lecturing you on the shortcomings of agriculture.
One recent evening, TV news watchers were shown a video of male baby chicks being discarded at an egg hatchery in Iowa. The surreptitiously obtained footage was aimed at raising consumer ire against "factory farming."
Cotton producers have been confronted with signs above a display of polyester clothing distributed by Under Armour that read "COTTON IS THE ENEMY." Efforts to get sporting goods stores to change the message have been fruitless.
An article in the Aug. 21 edition of Time magazine may win the prize for being an affront to agriculture, however. Bryan Walsh's story, "Getting Real about the High Price of Cheap Food," is a classic case of stretching and bending the truth to prove a point.
Walsh's article purports to show that America's abundant supply of cheap food comes at a high price to the environment, animals and humans. What it shows is how little Walsh and others who share his views know about farming and the economics of feeding a growing world population.
The story, which can be found on the Time.com Web site, contains many of the claims environmental and organic farm groups have been making for years, but Time's elevation of Walsh's opinion piece into a full-blown cover story has surprised farm organizations.
Walsh takes the two or three incidents of "bad actors" that sold tainted food to consumers in the last 12 months and turns them into an indictment of the U.S. food supply as "bad for us, even dangerous."
The article concedes that Americans spend less than 10 percent of their incomes on food, but Walsh gives little credit to innovations by farmers. He claims a transition to more sustainable, smaller-scale production methods could be possible without a loss in overall yield.
"But it would require far more farmworkers than we have today," he writes. "With unemployment approaching double digits — and things especially grim in impoverished rural areas — that's hardly a bad thing."
Those are the words of someone who has never spent a day on a 1950s and 1960s farm or seen the figures on the hundreds of hours it takes farmers in Africa to clear their fields for planting due to a lack of herbicides.
(In a radio interview, Walsh said Time is going away from objective reporting and moving toward becoming part of the conversation. He said he had heard opposing views to the opinions expressed in the article, but chose not to include them.)
It's fine to have a "conversation" when the participants have some knowledge of what they're talking about. Sadly, that isn't the case with Walsh.

Prayers Going Up for Kevin McCall Who was Shot in LA!
Kevin McCall isn't starting his 2018 in the best way. Unfortunately, he got shot in one of his feet and had to be hospitalized.
We don't know the circumstances surrounding the incident. Some on social media said that he accidentally shot himself. But, a video that was uploaded to Instagram shows the singer/songwriter on his way to the hospital. The man behind the camera, who was recording him, said this incident happened because of "the game" and added, "It's real in Watts."
McCall definitely looked unconformable and like he was in pain in the clip. But, he pulled it together and tried to show that his spirits were still high. Later at the hospital, possibly the same friend who recorded him, took a picture of McCall getting treated. See video of McCall speaking about getting shot below. Swipe to see the photo of him in the hospital bed.
**WARNING: Explicit language**
He seems to be doing OK. Hopefully McCall recovers fully and quickly.

We all know why Starbucks puts boxes of breath mints close to the cash register. Your morning latte can create a startling aroma in your mouth, strong enough to startle your co-workers too.
But intriguing new research from Tel Aviv University by breath specialist Prof. Mel Rosenberg of TAU's Sackler Faculty of Medicine finds that a coffee extract can inhibit the bacteria that lead to bad breath. New laboratory tests have shown that the extract prevents malodorous bacteria from making their presence felt — or smelt.
"Everybody thinks that coffee causes bad breath," says Prof. Rosenberg, "and it's often true, because coffee, which has a dehydrating effect in the mouth, becomes potent when mixed with milk, and can ferment into smelly substances."
But not always. "Contrary to our expectations, we found some components in coffee that actually inhibit bad breath," explains Prof. Rosenberg. The findings were presented last month to members of the International Society for Breath Odor Research in Germany by Yael Gov, a researcher in Prof. Rosenberg's laboratory.
A "taster's choice" for stopping bad bacteria
In the laboratory, the team monitored the bacterial odor production of coffee in saliva. In the study, three different brands of coffee were tested: the Israeli brand Elite coffee, Landwer Turkish coffee, and Taster's Choice. Prof. Rosenberg expected to demonstrate the malodor-causing effect of coffee in an in vitro saliva assay developed by Dr. Sarit Levitan in his laboratory. To his surprise, the extracts had the opposite effect.
"The lesson we learned here is one of humility," says Prof. Rosenberg. "We expected coffee would cause bad breath, but there is something inside this magic brew that has the opposite effect."
Prof. Rosenberg would love to isolate the bacterial-inhibiting molecule in order to reap the biggest anti-bacterial benefits from coffee. "It's not the raw extract we will use, he says, "but an active material within it." His latest discovery could be the foundation for an entirely new class of mouthwash, breath mints and gum. Purified coffee extract can be added to a breath mint to stop bacteria from forming, stopping bad breath at its source, instead of masking the smell with a mint flavor.

Britton '84 Named Editorial Director at JHU Press• April 25, 2011 Share:
Gregory M. Britton '84, who has led the publishing program at the Getty Museum and related institutions since 2008, has been appointed editorial director at the Johns Hopkins University Press.
When he joins the staff on May 16, Britton becomes a senior member of the Press's Executive Committee and assumes leadership of the Books Division's editorial department of ten full-time editors and assistants responsible for acquiring and publishing approximately 200 new titles annually.
"Greg Britton has a terrific track record as an editor and publisher, and he will bring vision and energy to his new role as our editorial director," commented JHU Press director Kathleen Keane. "Greg has demonstrated a strong commitment to the publishing community through admirable service and leadership in the AAUP (the Association of American University Presses) and the AAP (the Association of American Publishers). He shares our staff's enthusiasm for the traditional values and aesthetics of print publishing, and his expertise will help us navigate the exciting digital future of books. We are very pleased to welcome Greg and his family to the JHU Press and to Baltimore."
Prior to his appointment at Johns Hopkins, Britton directed the Getty Publications program of the J. Paul Getty Trust, the largest museum publishing program in North America, which includes the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Research Institute, and the Getty Conservation Institute.
During his tenure, he expanded Getty's publishing partnerships with European museums, launched the Getty Research Journal, and created an ambitious digital initiatives plan. Before that he was director of the Minnesota Historical Society Press, where he oversaw a significant expansion of the publishing program and a resulting increase in sales and visibility.
Britton is a 1984 graduate of Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana, and was working on a Ph.D. in American history at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, when he began his career in publishing. He has been a member of the editorial advisory board of Wabash Magazine for nearly a decade.
"This is a challenging time in publishing, and I admire the tremendous innovation I see at JHU Press," said Britton. "I am eager to join the Hopkins staff and look forward to helping shape their role in the future of scholarly communications."
Established in 1878, the Johns Hopkins University Press is America's oldest university press and one of the world's largest, publishing 70 scholarly journals and nearly 200 new books each year.

Blink frequently when looking (or is it staring?) at the monitor. This
helps because our blinking rate decreases approximately 70% when
concentrating versus when we are relaxed. Remember to blink at the end of
every paragraph or with every mouse click.
Adjust the top of the monitor screen so that it is equal to or lower than
your eyebrows. When looking straight ahead or upward at the
monitor, our eyes tear less and the corneal surface dries. When looking
slightly down, our eyelids will usually sweep down the whole eyeball when
blinking, which moistens the cornea instead of only the upper eyeball.
Look out a window (if possible) at a distant tree or lawn when taking a
break, when talking on the telephone or when thinking about a task.
Green is a soothing color for our eyes. If you don't have access to a
decorate your work area with green plants that you can look at during
your vision breaks.
Adjust and correct other factors that influence vision such as glare,
reflections and wearing the correct prescription glasses.

Daily Leadership
Leading by Christs' example. Leading in a way leaders without Christ cannot.
What a leader is in the world view often differs from what Jesus' view for His disciples is. There is something being a servant/ambassador of Jesus brings to the table that no other teaching or discipline can manufacture. There are a great many scriptural references as to what the difference is meant to be. It is up to us to find and walk within that difference.
BookOf1Timothy BookOf2Timothy BookOfTitus are each considered pastoral epistles. The concepts and doctrines contained in them along with the BookOfActs are required material for any type of Christian leadership. Many scholars also consider BookOfNehemiah and the BookOfEzra as well as BookOfJoshua and BookOfProverbs indispensable courseware too.
Leadership is not just for pastors, but a true pastor must first be a true biblical leader. We all then are called to be servant/leaders whether it be at work or family or within our communities/congregations.
Let us share our growth in these extraordinary things!

Xbox 2 Gets Need For Speed: Most Wanted in 2005
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games
It has come to be accepted that Microsoft will unveil the Xbox 2 at E3, and that it will hit retail this holiday season. While there has never been a concrete confirmation from Microsoft on this matter, it looks like EA knows more than we do. You see, their racing game Need for Speed: Most Wanted is scheduled to be released at the end of the year. According to EA, the title will ship for Xbox 2 simultaneously with Xbox, PlayStation 2, Gamecube, PC, PSP, and the DS. I know, E3 can't come soon enough. Oh, and for you BurnOut 3 freaks - it looks like BurnOut 4 will be an Xbox 2 launch title.

Posts tagged 'living room pet furniture'
Confession: I am obsessed with my dogs. If I wasn't such a tightwad I would probably buy one of those couchy looking dog beds, you know the ones I'm talking about, the ones with the red velvet fabric and the gold tassels. Alright, I'm 90% kidding but I would buy pet furniture if I could find something that would blend in with the decor of my home and that would be size appropriate for my dogs. Currently I have two smallish pups; Josey is a cocker spaniel I rescued about six months ago, and she's four years old and has the sweetest puppy dog eyes you've ever seen. Clide on the other hand, he's actually my roommates dog, but I love him like my own. He's a two year old black Chinese pug and quite the handful. He's such an attention hog, and is just go go go all day long. See how cute they are?

Over the years I have noticed that many of my gluten intolerant patients are also MSG intolerant. Let's look at why that might be and how it can affect the nervous system.
Substance called "Free Glutamate" Can Act Like MSG
If you know that your body responds poorly to MSG or you have any type of neurological complaint, I would recommend that you become familiar with these foods and consider eliminating them from your diet. Remember, free glutamate does not tend to be present in what I consider fresh, healthy food. A little internet search will give you more specifics on these types of foods.
We use 'gluten' to refer to the protein structure found in the grains wheat, rye, barley. Factually we should be using the word 'gliadin' as only wheat contains true 'gluten'. Don't worry about it, but for this post I wanted to make the distinction for a reason. And that is to explain that gliadin is broken down, upon digestion, into the amino acids proline and glutamine. Glutamine in turn breaks down into glutamate (both are amino acids) and the highest rate of this breakdown occurs in the small intestine. So there is a cascade from gliadin to glutamine to glutamate as digestion occurs.
How Gluten and Glutamate are Related
Let's put this all together to understand just how gluten can create neurological problems and how glutamate might be adding kerosene to the fire.
Excitotoxicity - the Killer of Cells
Inflammation Creates Excitotoxicity – A Bad Outcome
Gluten Can Inflame the Brain
The more Brain Inflammation Occurs, the More Damaging It Is
By the way, we also know that the immune cells of the brain are activated by not only gluten and glutamate but by chronic infections and toxins, including pesticides and herbicides.
What is the Take Away?
- We know that chronic inflammation is a bad thing and we want to prevent it.
- We know that when sensitive to gluten a body can become inflamed in many areas, especially the gut and the nervous system.
- We know that we want to prevent neurological diseases such as stroke, autism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and seizures and that they may very well be initiated by a negative reaction to gluten, one of its breakdown products glutamate, and foods high in free glutamate.
- And lastly we also know that we want to avoid excitotoxicity as it literally spells a death sentence for the cells of the nervous system and brain.
What Can You Do?
First it must be determined if the individual suffers from gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. This can be difficult in some people who yet have no symptoms, as neurological problems may take years to develop although the damage is slowly and relentlessly occurring.
It must also be determined if glutamate containing foods are problematic. Many people who are sensitive to MSG know it, but unfortunately they are unaware of the free glutamate in food, so they chalk up feeling badly to some other source.
We must encourage protection of the nervous system and reduce stress on the brain's immune cells.
Neurological diseases are terrible but the good news is that they may be largely preventable.
I hope you find this information useful and please share this data with someone who has some of these symptoms or suspects they may be suffering from gluten intolerance.

For years, residents of central Sudan's desolate North Kordofan state spent precious time and money to obtain water. No longer – thanks to a massive reservoir, built as a World Food Programme food-for-work project.
EL TYINA, NORTH KORDOFAN – Water is an elusive commodity in this parched region, where local farmers and nomads often pay hard-earned cash for tins of the precious liquid to meet their daily needs.
Now the rains have arrived to El Tyina, in central Sudan's North Kordofan region, along with a more sustainable solution – a massive haffir, the Sudanese term for a traditional, hand-dug rain catchment system, built by the local community in exchange for nearly 450 tonnes of WFP food.
"The people are very happy and the local government appreciates it very much," said Mahendra Balhubai, WFP logistics officer in El Obeid who was involved in delivering food to the project, roughly an hour's drive away. "And this is also a lesson learned – that it is possible to make a haffir this big."
A community project
Completed in June and able to hold up to 25,000 cubic metres of water, the reservoir is the largest of about 150 haffirs built and rehabilitated in Sudan since 2002 under WFP's food-for-work programme. WFP's partner in the project, Qatar-based NGO Al Hayat International Water Organization, provided expertise and tools.
More than a thousand residents, including the elderly and women, toiled under a burning sun for four weeks to build the haffir in a region that is part of Sudan's drought belt.
"There's interest in replicating this in other parts of Sudan, and not only because of the size. It was made by the community, all the partners were involved. And it gave people food at a time when there's a food gap," Balhubai said, referring to the dry season when the building took place.
Living on the edge
Experts estimate the reservoir will provide enough water to meet the needs of about 1,600 families living in El Tyina and seven other nearby villages, where farmers raise sheep and goats and grow sorghum and groundnuts during the rainy season.
Before the reservoir was constructed, dry spells saw villagers travel many kilometres by foot, donkey or car in search of water. Some paid up to US$ 2 for 200 litres of water – enough for a household's needs for just a few days and an enormous sum in this impoverished region.
Beyond water, the haffir project has brought a degree of stability to a population living on the edge.
"Many families used to migrate to Um Durman and El Obeid, but they have settled down this year," said Amany Mohamed, Al Hayat's coordinator in the project, naming two municipalities in central Sudan.
Now, she said, "they won't have to migrate to the cities to find food."

Tennessee Department of Health Calls on Women, Girls to Take Action to Prevent HIV/AIDS
Nearly 280,000 US females have HIV/AIDS, with 80 percent of new infections traceable to sex with an infected male partner. In Tennessee, approximately one-quarter of newly diagnosed HIV patients are females. CDC notes that approximately 20 percent of those HIV-positive in the United States are unaware they are infected.
In observance of National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day on March 10, the Tennessee Department of Health (TDOH) is rallying women and girls to educate themselves on preventive measures and testing. "All women and girls in Tennessee who are sexually active [should] get tested for HIV and learn how to prevent the spread of infection," said Carolyn Wester, MD, medical director of Tennessee's HIV/AIDS/STD section.
"By knowing their status," Wester continued, "women can take steps to protect themselves from HIV, receive treatment, and prevent passing it on to others, including their children."
TDOH offers confidential testing and counseling at all county health clinics. Find a comprehensive list online at http://health.state.tn.us/localdepartments.htm. State grassroots groups provide private testing at no cost; Access www.HIVtest.org for more information. Also, cell phone customers may text their ZIP code to "KNOWIT" (566948) and instantly receive information on nearby testing facilities.
National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day endeavors to promote education on HIV/AIDS information, testing, living with and managing the disease. For more information, visit www.womenshealth.gov/NWGHAAD. Call the toll-free National HIV/AIDS Hotline at 1-800-342-AIDS (2437) with questions.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Michigan has put Denard Robinson back in the starting lineup.
The senior lined up at running back in his final home game and gained 3 yard on a toss sweep the first time the 23rd-ranked Wolverines were on offense Saturday against Iowa.
Devin Gardner made his third straight start at quarterback in place of Robinson, who has been out with nerve damage in his right elbow.
Robinson caught a pass on Michigan's second snap for a gain of 4 yards.
Robinson later took a shotgun snap and handed the ball off as a quarterback. Then, he got a handoff from Gardner and made an option pitch to Fitzgerald Toussaint for a first down. Fitzgerald was injured on the play and was carted off the field with a brace on his left leg.

When Ricky Maybin first saw the white bird Saturday as he drove down his driveway off Calvert Road, he thought perhaps it was one of the barn owls that nest on his 12-acre farm.
ROSMAN — When Ricky Maybin first saw the white bird Saturday as he drove down his driveway off Calvert Road, he thought perhaps it was one of the barn owls that nest on his 12-acre farm.
"I knew it was an owl, but I never dreamed of it being a snowy owl," Maybin said. After all, who would think they'd see an arctic predator thousands of miles south of its native range? And the auto mechanic surely never imagined the owl in his yard would put the birding world all atwitter.
"I didn't know that it was a big thing," Maybin said. "The first five (bird-watchers) that came, the lady who I think is the head of their group, she told me, 'Do you care if I tell people?' I said, 'No, you go right ahead.' I had no idea how many would show up."
By Monday, at least 300 birders from as far away as South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee had descended on Maybin's farm in the upper French Broad River valley to glimpse the rare owl, the first known sighting of a snowy owl in Western North Carolina in modern history.
"I just can't believe one bird could draw that much attention," Maybin said.
They do when they're Harry Potter's charismatic pet in the movies, and when few people have ever laid eyes on one in real life. Reports of the iconic owl lit up the birder message boards and list serves, drawing hordes of optic-toting hopefuls to Calvert Road despite rain and cold weather.
"There's a lot of bird nerds out there," said Steve Atkins, a Weaverville-based photographer who drove over to snap pictures of the owl Monday. "And when someone finds something cool, the word spreads pretty quickly."
In North America, snowy owls breed in the open tundra of Alaska and Canada, normally venturing as far south in winter as southern Canada and the northern U.S. But major "irruptions," or southerly migrations, of snowy owls occur every few years when their populations outstrip the availability of prey.
2013 has been a banner year for errant snowy owls, according to ornithologists. One was spotted in Bermuda this winter and North Carolina, which has logged just one inland sighting since 1953, has recorded at least five snowy owls this year — including the first known Western North Carolina sighting since 1891.
"It's such a very, very cool sighting," said Simon Thompson, owner of Ventures Birding Tours and co-owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Asheville. Not only are snowy owls photogenic, (just ask Harry Potter filmmakers), they are rarely seen because their circumpolar breeding territory "is not exactly accessible to most people," he said.
Although snowy owls are uncommon winter visitors along the coast — one was spotted last winter on Tybee Island in Georgia — they are rarely seen this far west in North Carolina. Thompson and other bird experts suspect the Calvert Road owl is a young female who kept moving south through the mountains in search of food until she grew too weak to go further.
Returning to the wild
Maybin's neighbor, Will Kilpatrick, had seen the bird at a distance about two weeks ago near the river but couldn't identify it. Then, on Saturday morning, he looked out his kitchen window and saw the owl on the ground nearby. It was a birthday present he'll never forget.
"It was pretty overwhelming," said Kilpatrick. "To turn 50 years old and you've got a white owl out your window. That was pretty cool."
On Monday, the owl returned to his yard and this time, Kilpatrick could tell something wasn't quite right with it. The bird was limping and seemed to be bracing itself with its wings. One of the 75 birders who arrived that day offered to fetch some feeder mice from his son's pet snake provisions.
"When she first locked onto the mouse, she had to come up a small incline," Kilpatrick said. "The way she approached the mouse, she was not graceful at all. I knew in the back of my mind, I had to do something. I knew this bird had landed here for a reason."
Kilpatrick called Carlton Burke, a state-certified wildlife rehabilitator who runs Carolina Mountain Naturalists in Mills River. Using thick leather gloves, Burke easily captured the owl, which couldn't fly and was grossly underweight and dehydrated. He said Kilpatrick called in the nick of time.
"This bird is probably half the weight it should be, at a minimum," Burke said. "It could've fallen over and died at any time."
Burke took the owl, which he nicknamed "Tundra," to a veterinarian for a full work-up, including bloodwork and X-rays to make sure it didn't have a fractured limb or shotgun pellets lodged in its skin.
"Since it's a such a rare case, we didn't want to overlook anything," he said.
Tundra was uninjured, but blood tests revealed an elevated white blood cell count, perhaps an indication that an infection left her too weak to hunt, Burke said. After stabilizing the owl's electrolyte levels, he started Tundra on a course of antibiotics and is hand-feeding her mice to gradually increase her weight.
"It's gotten over the first critical stage," Burke said. "I'm pretty hopeful at this point in time."
Burke said it will take at least "several weeks" of feeding and rehabilitation before Tundra is ready to be released back into the wild. Kilpatrick is urging bird lovers to help Tundra's recuperation by donating funds to Carolina Mountain Naturalists, to help fund the hundreds of mice necessary to rebuild her weight.
"If I was hurting and starving, I would hope that somebody helped me out," Kilpatrick said.
To contribute to Tundra's rehabilitation, non-tax deductible contributions can be mailed to Carolina Mountain Naturalists, 3150 N. Mills River Road, Mills River, N.C. 28759.

cninboston Posts: 1I find the Z3 Coupe very reminiscent of the Old Jaguar E types. I also see the old Volvo 1800 series. There is something awkward yet very cool in these old cars. I see the same thing in the Z3
I'm reaaaaaly taken by the Z3 Coupe. It doesn't fit my plans right now. Maybe when they start coming off lease in the next few years will be the time to pick them up.0
Could it be that people are really getting these things for less than $200 over invoice? I know I hardly ever see them on the streets of Seattle, but at they really that low in demand? According to Edmunds, invoice is $34,735 (incl. destination) and TMV is $34,913. That's a steal! Anyone out there have that kind of luck? I have yet to go see a dealer about the car.
And yes, this car definetly reminds me of the E-type.0
alanmakca Posts: 12I too am considering a Z3, albeit used, as a second car. What have you found out about reliability and maintenance costs? I was considering a Miata. What's turning me off the Mazda is that it is not cheap! For the extra $5K, I'd rather get a Bimmer (even if it is a couple years older).
My concern with the Bimmer is the high repair cost. In particular, how much to replace a clutch, brakes, and so forth??
Have you considered the M-B SLK?0
Those are good questions, I don't have any info on repair costs. But I'm sure they aren't cheap... as with any luxo Euro car. I know my Saab isn't cheap to service, and its an '87. But with proper preventative maintenance, I'd bet the Z3 would have a long life. Plus if you get one that has just come off lease and is a certified used BMW, it should come with some kind of warranty.
Have you checked out the 3 Series board? Easily the most imformative one around, gives lots of good general BMW info (even though the focus is sedans).
Haven't really considered the SLK. New would be too expensive, and the old models only have the weak 4 cylinder.0
thebigad Posts: 1Can anyone out there tell me about their experiences servicing or maintaining a Z3? How much should I expect yearly? How much more is it than an average japanese import? I love bimmers, but I may not be able to afford them over a period of time. Any advice, please email [email protected]
ger3sf Posts: 29I've had my z3 coupe since 02/1999. This is primarily a weekend car. The FSS indicated my first service last March at approx 11,000 miles. All scheduled maint is free during the warranty period.0
and thanks for your feedback! We look forward to hearing more about you Z3. Happy Motoring! ;-)

mallorymoose Posts: 1Believe me. I have shopped, shopped and shopped.
The Z3 is the best value for the dollar considering a number of factors.
1) You could care less about driving in it in the winter.
2) Small cars don't scare you,
3) You have an old pick up truck to grab a load of fertilizer and a half yard of dirt from the Home Depot,
4) You don't like driving American Cars (Unless it's the old pick up),
5) Snob appeal
6) Well engineered compared to MANY other cars in its class and above,
7) Very good maintenance warranty,
8) Fun to drive AND to look at,
9) Cheap to insure,
10) Fits easily in to the palm of your hand!
I expect delivery of my Silver 2.5 with a Red interior by the 23rd of May. I can't wait!0
Nice to see a well thought out decision. Good luck on the 23rd May...; please keep us posted. ;-)

bimmerpilot Posts: 17I've been addicted to the ultimate driving machines for a few years and outside the warrantee period there is parts secret. It's called the BMWCCA. The largest single marque car club in America which has been around a very long time. A very small yearly subscription fee gets you an outstanding monthly magazine and better yet...up to 25% off of factory parts from many dealerships! I've actually only needed the discount on my very high mileage cars but it's nice to know it's there.
The web site doesn't do them justice but it's good for intial contact info.

hiddenvalley Posts: 2Has anyone had any experience putting a "hands-free" cell phone in a Coupe? Where did you mount the phone? The speaker? There is not a lot of space for an after market (Nokia) but I can't see the value of the BMW phone at 6 to 800 bucks, just because it fits in the console.
Any thoughts?0

sjmurray2 Posts: 65Hello, there seems to be a lot of Z3 3.0s on the lots in Virginia. Any idea what people are paying? I think a 2.5 Liter would be adequate, but if a 3.0 can be had at invoice, then it may be a better buy. Any opinions/advise would be welcome.0
tetonman Posts: 73I've been shopping for a somewhat unique car over the past three months. First car I started to get excited over was a BMW 8 series coupe, then passed when I learned about maintenance costs and received some feedback from BMW owners about the car itself.
After going around on another couple of cars, I'm back on BMWs again! I'm looking at a 1997 2.8 Z3 with 28K miles on it listed at $22k as a daily driver. Car includes heated seats (needed in IL), computer and Harmon Kardon sound system.
However, before I get too far along, I was wondering what people's experience has been with the earlier Z3s? Any help would be appreciated.

I think Boss is ready to find a forever home. He seems to be down in the dumps a bit lately, and I'm quite certain it's because he doesn't get enough time with us. The crating and rotating is working fine, I just want him to be able to be with someone as much as possible...because it's obvious that is his favorite thing.
He is my shadow...is constantly right by my side, even if I just get up to throw something in the trash. He paces and whines if someone goes into the garage...because he knows they haven't left, but also can't see them. He is always cuddling, and demands little more than that.
Boss has learned how to play, he even tugs with me now. He loves to chase balls, and chew on bones.
Although he has opened up more than I ever imagined in the six months that he's been with us, he is still very timid. He cowers if someone's voice is raised, even if it's a happy raised voice. If he ever is told "no", he acts like he is in deep trouble...but he has never been, not here anyway.
He is good with Harlow, but is never left with her unsupervised. I don't know how he would be with male dogs, or other dogs for that matter. Honestly, he is a people-dog. I'm confident he would be best as the only dog in a household, but exceptions could be made if he just absolutely fell in love with the adopter's current dog.
It's my responsibility to disclose that Boss has in fact bitten me twice. However, neither bite broke my skin, just left a little bit of a bruise.
It seems that the first time was out of fear...I was leading him into his crate before he learned to "go in his bed", and he turned and bit. When I reflect on it, I think my putting hands on him felt threatening to him, and the bite was a defense.
The second time we were playing. I reached down to grab a toy after he backed away from it, and he bit. He could have been guarding the toy, or could have simply gotten too excited in play. After all, he didn't even know HOW to play, or what toys were before he came here.
With that being said, I realize that both instances were entirely my fault. We have worked VERY hard with him on the biting issue. Those were the only two incidents we have had, and both happened months ago.
He needs to go to an experienced home. To someone who uses ONLY positive reinforcement training, and who understands and accepts the issues he has, and has overcome.
Boss is not an active dog. He doesn't need walks, he doesn't compete. Because he is a bit brachycephalic he tires after a short amount of exertion, and snores like a freight train. All he really needs someone to love him as much as we do, and that is able to give him more time and attention than we are able to. I don't feel like our situation of crating and rotating him and Degan & Harlow is fair to any of them, but especially to Boss because he is so connected to, and dependent on his people.
I prefer him to go to someone in my general area...just in case. It will be contracted with whoever adopts him that he WILL come back to me if he ever needed to be rehomed. Plus, I would like know I could visit him if I ever felt up to it.
It is SO....SO unbelievably hard for me to imagine letting him go. I have gotten very connected to him, and him to me. But I want what is best for HIM. He didn't have a good start to his life, and he deserves the absolute best for the rest of it.

Look at her. Look at This Hot Bitch stalking down the street in New York like she owns it, working her 53 years better than almost any 53 year old on the market. Sharon Stone is gorgeous. There's help, yes, yes, of course. But even the best help doesn't guarantee these results. That bone structure is all hers.
This Hot Bitch is currently shooting the film adaptation of Gods Behaving Badly. She plays, naturally, Aphrodite. And I feel quite optimistic that this is one of those rare occasions where the movie will be better than the book. Have you read the book? It's a promising premise...and then it becomes a mess. Not unlike The Devil Wears Prada, also a better movie than book.
The cast for Gods is impressive. Christopher Walken is playing Zeus. Amazing. Edie Falco is Artemis, Demeter is Phylicia Rashad, Dionsysu is Nelsan Ellis, and...Oliver Platt is playing Apollo? This... I scratched my head. .
I took a semester of Greek mythology in university. Was one of my favourite courses. This should be a regular HBO series.

Close your eyes for repercussions
Tried to use a gun man
But the gun jammed
Maybe if I won they'd probably get me
Strap a gun and tell them
Put one in my lung
Shoot one through my heart
Rip my tongue apart
Never again to speak this art
And I ain't got to sign a motherfucking deal
I could still fuck your girl
Off a blunt and some chill
Smoking up them hotels
Put it on my bill
Sleep till next Wednesday
Wake up to her grill
That super stanky dank
Got me high mushroom using
The event of my demise
I'm laughing at you rap gods spitting lies
[They're all gonna laugh at you!]

| inns Venice on the Grand Canal | Venice bed and breakfast view Rialto Bridge | guest house Venice Rialto
If downtown Venice is destined to remain in your hearts, you won't forget the magic of the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge, seen from the high rooftops of a romantic antique palazzo.
The top floor of the Palazzo Bembo, elegant hotel in Venetian Gothic style, provides an enchanting period residence atmosphere enhanced by its fine original furnishings, charming nineteenth century watercolors and precious Murano glass. As a small and exclusive hotel, you can enjoy your breakfast in the magnificent hall overlooking the Grand Canal, contemplating the passing gondolas in total intimacy.
Special offers
The Brembo nobles - a family of saints, theologians and military heroes including Duke Giovanni Brembo who vanquished the Usocchi pirates - has this sumptuous palazzo built at the end of the fourteenth century after fleeing from Bologna during the barbarian invasions. It is an elegant example of Venetian-Gothic style highly influenced by the Moorish architecture the Venetian tradesmen absorbed during their travels in the Middle East. Giuliano dei Medici, brother of Lorenzo the Magnificent, stayed here in 1510 when he came to Venice to heal.
Palazzo Bembo was built at the end of the fourteenth century by the noble Brembo family on the Riva del Carbon on the Grand Canal where they unloaded the carbon they imported and sold.
Palazzo Bembo combines the charm of an ancient home, intimate and elegant, with a cordial staff to relive the glories of the past.
Time stands still at Palazzo Bembo and the beauty of magical Venice continues to reflect in the waters of the Grand Canal.
Luxurious upholstery, elegant furnishings, antique furniture and original Murano glass transform each room into a small sophisticated and aristocratic room.

Katy Perry Parodies Florence Welch + Christina Aguilera on 'Saturday Night Live'
After her stint on 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend, it's pretty clear why Katy Perry is married to a comedian — the girl is funny! Not only can she impersonate her hilarious hubby, Russell Brand, but she also has no qualms about sending up her fellow pop stars.
In two separate sketches, Perry poked fun at 'Ceremonials' chanteuse Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine and at 'The Voice' coach Christina Aguilera.
In the first sketch, Perry portrayed Welch — and she nailed it. Perry portrayed the red-headed songstress in a skit about the soundtrack to an animated film called 'Doggy Duty,' in which puppies are selected to do jury duty.
Perry played Welch singing an original song based on the imaginary movie. The song is called 'The Dog Trial Is Over,' and is set, appropriately, to the tune of 'The Dog Days Are Over.' Clad in a red wig and flowing peacock-colored dress, Perry does Welch's signature ethereal sways as she sings, "The pup called a witness / The collie objects / The schnauzer made a mess / The dog trial is over / The dog trial is done." The sketch utilized Perry's comedic and musical abilities well — she sounded just like Flo!
In another sketch, Perry parodied Christina Aguilera in a sequel to ensemble film 'New Year's Eve,' called 'The Apocalypse.' You know you're in for a good time when the tagline is "love at last sight." Starring "literally thousands of celebrities," including Katherine Heigl, Pierce Brosnan, the dog from Frasier, Lou Bega (remember him?!) and Aretha Franklin's hat, Perry's brief cameo as Aguilera brought the giggles.
In a skintight, shimmery white bandage dress, and a huge blonde wig a la Aguilera at the American Music Awards, Perry didn't speak — she only sang… to Al Roker. Perry's vocal histrionics were effective in her impersonation of the diva, though some red lipstick and a bit more sass would have made the bit more believable.

Do you know much about wiring 3 phase motors with a caps to run on single phase?The lathe has a 3hp single motor on it but the coolant pump is still 3 phase. It has a wiring diagram inside and can be wired star or delta. I'd like to use it if possible. Now idea on what capacitor I would need to use though, any pointers?!Thanks.

Occupy Seattle Occupies Wal-Mart
Posted 7 years ago on Nov. 23, 2011, 1:46 p.m. EST by OccupyWallSt
On Friday, November 25th, Occupy Seattle will join Occupy Tacoma, Occupy Bellingham and Occupy Everett in a statewide protest at Wal-Mart in Renton at 2:00pm.
With its long history of mistreating workers and suppliers, its recent announcement of significant cutbacks on employee health care, and its obscene profits, Wal-Mart is a prime example of how the 99% are suffering at the hands of the 1%. Read More...

Garfield Moss is proposing that the town of Bluffton team with his nonprofit housing corporation to convert substandard mobile homes into solid houses.
The Affordable Housing Committee heard Moss' proposal last week. Chairman Fred Hamilton Jr. and some other members said they would explore the proposal to leverage town funds for low-income housing repairs.
By consensus, the mayor's advisory committee took the Bluffton Non-Profit Housing Corp. offer under advisement.
Marc Orlando, growth management director, asked for direction and if staff should move forward.
"I think we need more time to digest it," Hamilton said.
"I agree," said Thomas Viljac, panel member and planning commission chairman. Hamilton said the proposal was tabled until the committee's next meeting in March.
The partnership they are entertaining would "install a permanent cement block foundation system around the perimeter of existing mobile home trailers," according to Moss' proposal.
Low-income owners of the homes, after conversions at $6,700 each, would then be eligible for federally funded weatherization repairs worth $15,000, according to Moss' offer.
Federal Home Loan Bank weatherization grant money could be used for additional repairs to roofs, windows, exterior doors, heating and air-conditioning systems, insulation, floors and other replacements.
Targeted areas for the grant work include Old Town and the areas of Goethe, Simmonsville and Buck Island roads, Moss wrote in a Jan. 20 report.
The Affordable Housing Committee's other members include Mayor Lisa Sulka; Dee Anderson, a banker, and Councilwoman Karen Lavery.
Early support
Councilman Mike Raymond said after the meeting he was impressed by Moss' proposal.
"I love it. It's outside the box thinking," Raymond said. "These are the kind of alternatives that will keep Bluffton's affordable housing going."
Officials recently reported the town's Neighborhood Assistance Program, with repairs capped at $5,000 per home, had about tapped out funding for the fiscal year ending June 30. Using the general fund, the program had completed repairs to 27 homes, almost all of them stick-built houses. Four more were nearing completion, and two other applications were under review as of late January.
Town officials said they had cut off applications pending a council decision on funding for the next budget year.
Moss told the panel many trailers have been ruined by moisture and by animals getting under them, and he didn't think the town's $5,000 per home repair program is enough.
If the town spends $6,700 per mobile home for the foundations, and homeowners in turn get additional repair grants of $15,000, "we can make these houses liveable," Moss said.
He said the housing project also would provide jobs to locals and could include an apprentice program for teenagers.
Bridge building
Moss, 68, ran for Town Council in 2008. He said he has 40 years experience in new construction and rehabilitation work.
He is perhaps best known locally for running an Old Town Historic District tour on his golf cart and repeatedly being denied accommodations tax funding for it.
Also, in 2006, Moss complained to the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department that the town was discriminating against him by denying development proposals for property he and his wife, Nancy, own at Wharf and Lawrence Street.
But last week's exchanges stayed positive, and no mention was made of old disagreements with former Mayor Hank Johnston and other former town officials.
For the repair program, Moss told the committee he was "just trying to give you some of the resources" he has invested in Bluffton. "We just need you to do a joint venture with us. And if you do, I think we can solve one of the problems we've been working on for the past eight years."
Social cause
"A big problem we have here is we are losing most of the blacks here," said Moss, who moved to Bluffton about 24 years ago. "We want the people to stay here. We don't want them to leave."
Moss said that in 1989, when Bluffton was a square mile, blacks made up half the town's population. Annexation to 54 square miles and Bluffton's population boom "has drastically decreased our historical racial composition," he wrote.
"As quickly as this trend is progressing, the black population will be an extinct group of residents — particularly in Old Town Bluffton — in a few short years."
In his report to Orlando, Moss said, "The primary group of residents we propose to target for grant funding also happens to be the diminishing group of black people who are being forced out of Bluffton because of substandard housing/condemnation and increased costs. …
"We have a duty to halt the displacement of our black population and develop programs to help them continue to live in our community, especially when there are grant funds available to accomplish this end."

Madonna Tears Up While Singing 'Like a Virgin' in Concert
First she flashed a boob in Istanbul. Then she bared her butt in Rome. Seemed about the only thing left for Madonna to show during her MDNA tour was a little emotion — and that's what happened in Rome when the Material Girl dissolved into tears while singing 'Like a Virgin.'
Madonna's been doing standards like 'Like a Virgin' for so long that it's not surprising she'd change them up however possible to keep them fresh. But the dramatic, piano-based rendition of the song she did in Rome last weekend must have been especially emotional for her, because Madge choked up with tears and needed a moment to compose herself before continuing.
Of course, it could've all been for show — these days it's hard to know if what we're seeing from the seasoned performer is real or just staged for attention (bare boobs and butts as proof of the latter).
But later in the song, when you see a male dancer pull her so tightly into a corset that it's a wonder she can even breathe, one has to imagine that maybe the waterworks were the result of knowing that was coming.

Free Shiba Inu to Good Home.
He is generally a very good dog, but is not good with very young children, cats or other dogs. His name is Todd. He is almost 4 years old and he loves attention. He is neutered and is up to date with shots. Todd has been bounced around a lot in his young years. From home to home. If you have children under 10 he is not the dog for you. He hates it when his tail is pulled or he is jumped on. He is also a very dominant dog, so he can only live at your home if he will be the ONLY dog at your home. Many years ago this dog breed was bred as a hunting dog, so when he sees a cat or small animal he thinks its fair game. this is why he doesn't like, and cannot be in a home that has cats.
All in all Todd would be better off in a quiet home with space to run and people who have the time to give him the love he so desperately needs.
Please feel free to call me, leave a message and I will be glad to bring Todd by your house to meet you guys.

My wife rescued a female Shiba Inu. She was in really bad shape and pretty much skin and bones. She's been wormed, and is somewhat house-broken. I say somewhat, because she's had a few accidents in the house, but mainly knows when to go out the doggie door. She's very sweet, but needs a lot of one-on-one handling. We have two dogs and a cat as it is, and she just doesn't get the work she really needs. She's never nipped or seemed hostile, but my we feel she's well enough that it's time she find a good home.

Satu is an AKC registered Cream female Shiba Inu. She is 16 months old. Satu is looking for her very own family in which she would be the only female dog as she is an Alpha female. She is great with adults, but has not been raised with children so I prefer a home with no kids. She was raised with cats, but wants to chase ones she doesn't know. She is great in the house as she is house broken and crate trained(although she loves to sleep in the bed). She is fully vetted, spayed, and current on everything including Frontline and Heartguard. She is very active and loves to play. There is a small re homing fee of $100(which is neg. to the right home) to make sure you are serious about her. Her original price was $1200. This breed is different than most breeds so you will want to do your research to make sure this is the breed for you. If you would like more info please email.

Cory is an affectionate 7-year-old Shiba Inu who needs an experienced dog owner. He can be aggressive toward strangers, and it will take around two weeks for him to get used to his new owners. Although Cory can walk with a leash on, he does not socialize well with other animals as well as young children. He is a healthy dog and has received all his shots. He is also housetrained. Unfortunately, because I'm moving, I can no longer keep him. Though he has several behavioral issues, Cory is a very warm dog to his owners. I have tried surrendering him to the adoption center but they would not accept him and this is his last chance. Please call XXX-XXX-3334 if you're interested. Thank you.

Kopper and Jasmine together for 2 years now need a home together. They are both super sweet, and beautiful Shibas. Kopper is a red, and Jasmine is a black & tan. We blended our families last year, and they have become outside dogs even having to stay in their crates as we have had to get our new house built, fences added, etc. They need more attention than we can give anymore. They are great with kids!! Would like a re-homing fee of $400 for both of them together as we paid over $2000, but if you are interested and can offer a good home, please let me know. Finding them a good home is most important to us.

7 year old shiba inu needs a home urgently. She has alopecia due to food allergy. Requires special diet to regain hair. I am unable to keep her in my home due to her excessive shedding, she is the primary source of my son's asthma attacks.....this confirmed by skin testing.
She has been to a dermatologist and her condition will improve after a few months on a strict diet of venison and potato. It is a non-prescription food and fairly inexpensive if fed properly. She is a great dog but unfortunately, I am unable to wait months for her to recover while my son suffers the consequences.
There will be a very reasonable rehoming fee just to ensure good faith.

With a very heavy heart I have to find a new home for my 3yr old White shiba inu. I have another shiba inu who is approaching 18 yrs old and my 3yr old likes to play too much and knocks him down. He has snapped at my nephew of 2 years old. Never once bitten myself or any adult. He is good with other dogs and although he likes to chase my cat he has never hurt her once she stops running he looses intrest. He is house broken and likes to be outside. As cute as he is he must go to someone with experience with this breed. Shiba Inus are not like other dogs they come when they want and are very well known door bolters. He is nuetered and updated on rabies. Serious inquires only. XXX-XXX-5358 Please leave a message.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- In a long and casual email apparently sent to all staff and faculty, the president of Williams College has revealed the school is mulling a proposal for a 60-room hotel to be built on college-owned land at the south end of Spring Street.
College President Adam Falk wrote:
"A professional feasibility study confirmed that a hotel of around 60 rooms, located somewhere around where the American Legion building is now, would be profitable. If this project were to go ahead, it would be developed with funds other than those used for college operations, and the running of the hotel would be contracted out. Such a project, of course, would take several years."
About 15 years ago the same parcel was considered for construction of a performing-arts center but was rejected after neighbors objected and wetlands issues arose. Presently, the Williams Inn operates on land owned by Williams College and in a building built by the school. The college remains involved in the finances of the Williams Inn.
In the email, Falk also disclosed the college is mulling whether it would make sense to move the college-owned Water Street Books to Spring Street and create what he called a "college store." And he commented on the ebb-and-flow of store openings and closings on Spring Street. His comments come amid the news that St. Pierre's Barber Shop will relocate, a deli store has closed, and other storefronts are in transition.
In the email, college President Adam Falk also disclosed:
- The college will donate four acres of land next to the 60-unit Proprietor's Field senior-housing complex for use to create an affordable-housing development. The development is viewed as a way to assist current and former residents of a town mobile-home park displace by August, 2011 flooding from Tropical Storm Irene. (Read Transcript story)
- The college facilitated an effort by a group of Williams alumni which resulted in over $450,000 being raised to support academic-enrichment and teacher-training programs at the regional public high school serving Williamstown -- Mount Greylock Regional High School. (See iBerksihres STORY)

Thanks for sharing that. Makes me feel even better about it not being close around CT and NY.

This is a blog about environmental issues in the New York area in general and Long Island Sound in particular. I'm the author of
"This Fine Piece of Water: An Environmental History of Long Island Sound," which came out in 2002. I wrote about the environment and other issues during almost two decades as a newspaper reporter.
Unless you tell me otherwise, I'll assume it's OK to publish what you send me.
