How to Conduct a Social Risk Assessment in China
Chengbo Wang, Director, Advisory Services and Morgan Zhang, Manager, Advisory Services, BSR
A series of violent protests against large-scale construction projects—the proposed oil refinery in Shifang, the garbage incinerator project in Panyu, and the waste discharge plant in Qidong—have attracted enormous amounts of public attention in China. All of these projects have either been postponed or canceled altogether. The protests have been unprecedented, and the Chinese government is under increasing pressure to curtail the prospect of more violent protests.
The launch of a social risk assessment (SRA) in China is a move to counter this rising dissatisfaction. SRAs require government agencies to map out the likelihood of community unrest in areas where large-scale projects are being planned.
But what makes a good social risk assessment? Five key elements come to mind—drawn from BSR's community engagement work with extractive companies in Mongolia and China:
- Identify project objectives and social benefits. Companies need to identify the local community's needs and public interests to ensure that they are integrated into the project's long-term business plan.
- Build a community development plan. This involves working with local government agencies and other civil society organizations to contribute to the community's long-term strategic plan and leveraging the company's resources to operationalize elements of the community's plan through employee engagement, skills-sharing and long-term community-based programs.
- Communicate with the community. Throughout any type of social risk assessment, companies have to keep their lines of communication open, which often involves a community-based company representative (or sometimes an independent party) who is trusted by both sides, can relate to the needs of the community, and most importantly, does not demonstrate a vested interest in the project.
- Ensure that information is transparent. Companies need to ensure that technical project details such as impacts on the local environment, society and public health effects, and the measures to address these issues are disclosed to the public in a timely fashion. And the local government has a duty to ensure this happens.
- Establish internal coordination. Social risk management is not only related to a company's CSR department, but relevant to all other business departments. Internal alignment helps business to leverage available resources to further advance its social management goals and encourage more effective collaboration across business units. Achieving senior management buy-in and cooperation across different business units increases the likelihood of establishing a more effective community-to-company relationship.
BSR Human Rights Advisor Christine Bader further explored the topic of social risk assestments in China in a previous blog post, "China's Social Risk Reviews: A Tool Not a Burden."

Decatur and area residents were mostly back to normal today after a record-breaking snowstorm which began late on the fourth full day of spring.
Officials at the Decatur weather station said this morning that the city received a total of six inches of snow. The snow was so wet and heavy, they said, that it sank as it hit the ground, making an accurate measurement difficult, so the total could have been a little higher.
A public hearing to accept community input on a proposed $3.9 million upgrade to the city of Berne's waste water treatment plant drew no comments Monday evening.
The city is under orders from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management to reduce the amount of ammonia contained in waste water effluent that is being discharged from the treatment plant to area rivers and streams. Improvements must be completed by 2015.
Grace Baumgartner, an attorney for the Department of Child Services (DCS) in Adams and Wells counties, appeared with DCS employee Jody Hirschy with a request for the county commissioners on Monday.
New season, S.O.S. — same old stuff!
Spring has arrived but nothing has really changed in the Decatur area and most of Indiana. It's still cold and the snowstorms keep coming.
The latest, which moved into this area late Sunday night, dumped four inches of snow on Decatur by 7 a.m., and light snow was continuing to fall after that reading.
The winter storm had less effect than usual since all Adams and Wells county schools are closed for spring break.
Decatur Assistant Fire Chief Jim Hitchcock said Friday that an investigation into Tuesday's fire at Shaffer Investment Auto has determined that the cause was accidental.
Hitchcock, chief investigator for the local department, said the state fire marshal's office participated in what Hitchcock said was a "thorough investigation."
Former Decatur Storm Water Management Director Joan Eichhorn is scheduled to make her first court appearance at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday in Adams Circuit Court.
Eichhorn was indicted last week by an Adams County grand jury on charges of theft and fraud for alleged incidents that occurred in late 2011.
The incidents involve an alleged fraudulent website set up to allegedly allow Eichhorn a trip to Florida at city expense.
Further details in today's print and e-editions.
Approximately 30 residents of Adams County, both supportive and not, turned out for the informational hearing on the plans of South Adams Trails Inc. (SATI) in Geneva on Thursday night.
In sixth grade English, learning the elements of a short story is a fairly common practice. However, Adams Central Middle School teachers Rhonda Berstch and Lana Shoaf, took this year's project in a unique direction. What started out as a writing assignment to be read by younger students,turned in to an international project.
Adams County Engineer Tim Barkey, as ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) coordinator for the county, said at this week's commissioners meeting that sidewalks at intersections are supposed to have curb ramps.
Four of these ramps are needed in the Chapel Chase subdivision, but that is the only county-owned location that needs to have them added, according to Barkey. He expects the project to cost approximately $4,500 and asked where the money should come from.
More than 100 interested and concerned residents packed the Riverside Center on Wednesday evening to express their views surrounding a proposed rural sewer district project intended to reduce the amount of human waste entering county waterways.

Police explain why Pentagon roads were closed
Why were the roads shutdown around the Pentagon after last Friday's incident involving a Marine Corps Reserve Lance Corporal? "Based on the fact that he had fled from the Fort Meyers Police Department that he wasn't forthcoming with his information and as far as identifiers and what he was doing and he did have some products with him that were a little bit concerning initially. That's we felt it as appropriate to close these roadways down," says U.S. Park Police spokesman Sgt. David Schlosser. Yonathan Melaku was taken into custody after being caught on the grounds of Arlington Cemetery after dark. His car was found near the Pentagon.

Managing Pentagon spending
Big changes in store for the Pentagon's acquisition workforce. Shay Assad, the acting deputy undersecretary for defense for acquisition & technology says the federal civilian DoD workforce in acquisitions is expected to rise by 20 thousand, while contracting staff will fall by half that amount. Pentagon contracts have nearly tripled over the last 8 years, but the size of the workforce overseeing those contracts has been flat.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Admittedly, Thrash IS better than Swipe, but you use BOTH while tanking at 85. They both have a 6 second cooldown. That leaves room for 1 Swipe, 1 Thrash, and 4 other spells. Just because you have Thrash does not mean you ignore Swipe.
The way you worded the article made it sound like (while tanking past level 81) you no longer use Swipe.
This change is a straight buff to AoE threat for Bears, which is awesome.
Well the major complaint I see thrown around about buffing swipe is that it's insignificant. the amount of threat from it is basically nothing. While it is a buff, it's just not one that's going to have a huge effect. It's basically a poor band aid on a huge problem. Threat is threat but there are orders of magnitude in terms of effect. A thimble is not going to bail out a half sunk boat. That's not to say the situation actually IS that bad. It's just percieved that way. There is quite a polarizing effect on this issue. There's clearly a problem when compared to dk's, but how much of one is up for debate. What compounds the problem even further is that Blizzard dev statements show they DON'T see any problem at 85.
as far as PVE threat goes, thorns being castable in bear form would even help a little. What about some kind of aoe threat with feral charge? Something to differentiate us from warriors would really be swell.
I dont want us to be arguing for the fury warrior DPS tanks of early BC...what I want is a way to offset the way druids seem to have issues establishing aggro with anything but a mangle.
I hate the changes to fear and root breaking, but I don't PVP, so I will cope. I wish they could just do pvp changes to abilities without effing up the pve, but that doesn't seem to be an option.

Pat Symonds to replace Coughlan at Williams
Grove (England): Pat Symonds will join Williams Formula 1 team as their chief technical officer next month after leaving Marussia as a technical consultant.
Symonds will replace Mike Coughlan, who leaves Williams with immediate effect.
Symonds' 30 year F1 career has seen him achieve success with some of the sport's most accomplished teams and drivers.
Having started his career at Toleman, it was with Benetton and subsequently Renault that he achieved extraordinary success. His partnerships with Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso produced 32 race wins, four Drivers' World Championships and three Constructors' World Championships. Since 2009, he has run his own high technology and motorsports consultancy in addition to acting as consultant to Marussia.
On the downside, the Englishman was banned for five years for facilitating then Renault driver Fernando Alonso's victory in Singapore after Nelson Piquet Jr. was instructed to crash in the 2008 season. Team principal Flavio Briatore was also banned.
Speaking about the appointment, Williams founder and team principal Frank Williams said: "I'm delighted that Pat is joining the team. His technical capabilities and sporting successes speak for themselves and I'm sure that his knowledge and leadership will contribute considerably to the success that all of us at Williams are working hard to achieve."
Symonds said: "Williams is a team steeped in success and engineering excellence and I'm honoured to be asked to play a role in returning the team to its rightful place at the pinnacle of Formula One. Sir Frank, Mike and Claire have put in place the foundations for success and I'm immensely excited to begin this new challenge."
Williams are yet to score a point this season.

I am certainly no expert when it comes to trouble shooting, but I'm going to go out on a limb and make a guess.
If I remember correctly, the new iFuntastic just "unshackles" the iPhone, which is a new protocol for iPhone modding that does not require jailbreaking. One drawback to this, however, is that the iPhone must be un-modded when using iFuntastic for the first time (or, at least this is highly recommended).
Also, when people updated to the new iTunes, and new iPhone firmware, a few people had to restore their phones, then mod them again, and this tended to work in almost all cases. I did this for firmware 1.0.2, but never upgraded my iTunes, so I am not too sure for my case.
But, I would suggest, and I know that this sucks, doing a restore of your phone, syncing it with the newest iTunes, then redo your hacks with iFuntastic 3.3. If that doesn't work, then stick with your command line hacks. That is what is do too.

On to the solution - skip everything else....just go download the apptap installer. that has been updated to work with the new itunes. use the installer to get installer.app onto your phone. from there you can install openSSH and the BSD toolkit...which will allow you to SSH and SFTP (with cyberduck - Mac or WinSCP - windows) to connect, move files, etc.
if you are missing anything else, holler. there is also a walk through for getting ringtones onto your phone through itunes in chitchat under the "iRing" app thread...

Dior released their first cell phone today. Clearly we don't need yet another crappy, overpriced handset on the market, but these lifestyle brands refuse to leave no stone unturned. The hand brushed aluminum phone measures just 14mm thick and is covered in 640 diamonds totaling 3.25 carats. The Dior phone includes some sort of Bluetooth accessory that is crafted from sapphire crystal and aluminum, but it's not clear if it's a mini phone or headset. Other features include a 2.6-inch touchscreen, 2MP camera and the usual myriad of phone features.
As previously reported the phone is said to cost $5,000, but I haven't been able to substantiate that number.

This Week in JACK PALMS Crime
Unfortunately, this episode is not the much-anticipated Episode 13 of JACK PALMS 3 - Your Title Here. What I have for you is an explanation (brief) on why I'm so beat, when the next episode of JP3 will be out, and when Joelle/Jane Gannon will be back in top form. We're like the NBA playoffs around here: beat up, tired, but digging deep to keep bringing all the good stuff for as long as we can. No going home for us. And oh, another way we're like the playoffs is there's lots of Celtics gear getting worn around here. Got a few K7 calls from some of you guys, some new suggestions for the title of the crime stories podcast project. Also the promise of the voting section/poll for the title of JP3 to come VERY soon. AND, I explain a bit about the writing process and what's happening with the end of JP3. Believe me, when it's said and done, this little bit of respite to get my ducks in a row and do my best recording will definitely be well worth the brief pain. Thanks for your support!

Often times people are convinced to sign a promissory note as a co signer and think that they will never have to step up to the plate and make payments.
They simply sign as a co-signer and then forget about the debt. Unfortunately, there is no law that requires the bank or whatever lender to notify you when the 'girlfriend' or other person is not making the payments. It is very possible, if not probable, that a bank could allow the primary maker of the note or debt to default on a loan for several months before coming to you to ask for payment. And it is possible under those circumstances that the loan could be in default, with the lender calling the whole balance due and payable.
If you are a co signer on a note and have now been called upon to pay the note because the primary make has defaulted, you need to aggressively work with the lender to try to work out a payment plan with the bank.
Once you work out a payment plan under the terms of the original note, you should take the steps to make sure that you will have the right to go after the ex-girlfriend (or whomever).
This can be accomplished by you executing a separate promissory note to the bank, buying the original promissory note from the bank and then filing suit against the girlfriend or other person who was the primary maker of the note.
If you are unable to work out a payment plan with the lender in this situation and the lender is pushing forward with a lawsuit against you to collect under the note you have options inside and outside of bankruptcy to protect your income and your assets.
Outside of bankruptcy, you can claim exemptions under Tennessee law by virtue of Tennessee Code Annotated §26-2-104 through 111 and §26-2-301 & 305.
These code sections protect a your clothing, your retirement funds and a limited amount of your wages, personal property and home equity among other things.
These exemption statutes can be used as leverage with creditors to work out a payment plan and they give the Courts the authority to protect you with or without the consent of the creditor.
Of course consumers also potentially have the option of seeking protection under the federal bankruptcy code. Most consumers seek protection under either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 of the bankruptcy code. Both forms of bankruptcy impose an injunction against your creditors from pursuing collection efforts against you while the case is pending and both forms of consumer bankruptcy can wipe out your debts in some fashion, assuming you are qualified to file bankruptcy.
If you have been sued or the bank is calling you about paying a debt owed to them as a result of you co-signing a note CALL MY OFFICE TODAY at (731) 423-1888. We will meet with you (the first meeting is free) there will be no pressure to do anything.
We will explore your options – with over 26 years experience in bankruptcy and debt settlement negotiations I am sure that we can HELP YOU GET YOUR LIFE BACK.

Following Jeff Moorad's failed attempt to buy the team, San Diego Padres owner John Moores has hired investment bankers to advise him on another sale of the franchise.
Unless something goes dramatically wrong with the sale this time, the delay will end up paying off for Moores: the team is undoubtedly worth more after a new TV contract this offseason with Fox and a potential resetting of the market after the sale of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Dodger Stadium for $2.15 billion.
The original deal for Moorad and crew to buy the Padres fell apart after his group failed to garner approval from MLB owners. Moorad and his investors control 49 percent of the franchise, while Moores controls the remainder. Moores and investment bankers Steve Greenberg of Allen & Co. and John Moag of Moag & Co. will oversee the sale of the team, and if there's an appreciation from the price paid by Moorad's group for their chunk (and we're guessing there most certainly will be), they'll also realize a profit.
"I think clearly the Dodgers sale and the improved media market are going to have a lifting effect on the value of the Padres," Moores told AP. Exactly how it shapes out beats me, but it's got to be a plus....Obviously it's a good time to reach out and find out what the interest level is on acquiring a major league franchise."
He added something we think is very sure to be true: "I'd be very surprised if there were not fundamental changes in the way folks buy MLB clubs."

New York's Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says military veterans are not getting all of their tax breaks.
The Schneiderman says, that is because local officials are steering veterans away from the 15-percent property tax exemption in New York.
The Attorney General's office says, veterans who served the last 23 years, including in Iraq and Afghanistan, are eligible for this tax break.
He says, there was some confusion about that and it may have resulted in vets getting turned away.
Two other gubernatorial candidates shared the gazebo with Scott Milne and Gov. Peter Shumlin for Saturday's debate.

Are Sleeping Pills Safe?
For the more than 44 million Americans who take a prescription to drift off, they seem like miracle drugs. But the FDA recently added warning labels to 13 prescription sleep medications, including top sellers Ambien and Lunesta, after reports that the drugs cause some people to binge eat, sleepwalk, or even sleep drive. Investigators aren't sure how common these wacky-but-dangerous side effects are, or whom they're most likely to affect, but they are rare, says Dr. Epstein, who notes that the odds increase if you mix sleep drugs with alcohol. The risk of dependency also rises when the drugs aren't taken as directed (if you rely on them nightly, for example, instead of just occasionally).
"When used as prescribed, these medications are very safe, and can be very helpful for people who need to get through a particularly rough time," sums up Dr. Epstein. But if you have trouble sleeping without pills, or you wake up next to a suspiciously empty bag of Tostitos, quit the drug immediately and call your doctor.

My Story
Its twenty-two years that he is not with me. We started liking each other after our first meet only. His blue eyes attracted my green ones. It was surely love at first sight. His muscular body, his tattoos and specially his dimple made me more attracted towards him like a magnet. He was Gunjan's that is my best friend's boyfriend Samrat's best friend Mayank. Actually Gunjan's family did not know about Samrat her love� as they were too strict and a very conservative family and therefore she were scared to tell them that she loves Samrat.
One day her father came to know about Samrat and Gunjan and then after that day he did not let Gunjan to step out of the house. I being her friend became a messenger of their love and few days later I convinced her parents to let her atleast attend the college. She started to meet Samrat in the college and Samrat brought Mayank with him as he was his bestfriend. Mayank and I left them alone in the corner table of the cafeteria and we two sat a bit far from them in the same cafeteria as we did not wanted to disturb the lovebirds.
We started our conversation with hi's and hello's�..i was too shy to speak�..looking at him I understood he was also nervous�he ordered two cups of coffee for us�We started to talk and let our feelings come out. After few minutes the waiter served us the coffee. He suddenly asked the waiter to put some salt In his coffee. I asked him why. He said that he was born near the sea and enjoyed the salty taste from childhood. He missed his parents still living there near the sea�saying that tears came out of his eyes and thus our actual conversation stared and we fell in love. Few days we dated each other. We dated each other in the nearby zoo that is the famous Alipur Zoo in Kolkata, which was close to my college. I still cannot believe that we dated each other in the zoo near the Crocodile's Cage�.Gunjan often said that OUR LOVE WAS TOO DANGEROUS�and therefore named our love DANGEROUS LOVE�.no one would dare to separate us�.
Two years later we got married and our love which was always there was growing more and more day by day. Few months later I got pregnant and hearing this news he was overwhelmed�we were blessed with our first cute little daughter whom we named Maya�..She became the apple of his father's eyes�..We lived as the happiest family on this earth�but how did we know that this happiness was only for short time. He being a doctor and his father being a retired army officer recommended him to go to Kashmir as the army needed doctors to cure their wound as there was no one available that time and as war was going on most of them died and therefore they needed a resident doctor for the time being�.He agreed to go and I also agreed because I was happy to know that by some way he can help the country�.I really wanted him to go but I was very sad that he was leaving me and our princess .
Before leaving he gave me a letter and kissed my forehead saying that he will be back by our anniversary. After he left I opened the letter it read that the first coffee date we had and he asked for salt to put in his coffee as he was missing the salty taste�..he lied�.he hated the salty coffee and out of nervousness told salt for sugar and he drank it�. because he was nervous to speak and after that coffee date only we were together� and having me in his life was the biggest happiness than anything�my eyes welled up�..After that day whoever asked me how salty coffee taste I always replied that its very sweet�..love is not to forget but to forgive.
Wherever he is there is no network through which I can contact him�Every anniversary I wait for him as he had promised me that he will come back in our anniversary�but he never mentioned the year so I still keep waiting for him as I just want to hear him saying "I am back forever"�It will be twenty five years of our marriage tomorrow �.these twenty two years I celebrated it with our daughter but this year I really want him as it will be silver jubilee of our marriage�I hope my wish comes true�.
Next day at six morning I heard the bell rang�my heartbeat became fast as I was going to open the door�As I opened the door I could not speak anything�He is back�he opened his arms and I hugged him. He said " I m back forever love�Happy Anniversary"�.my wish came true�As he came back he said I still look the same old Nupur�as beautiful as before�.while I complimented him by saying "you r my same old handsome Mayank�my macho man"�
Later in the whole day he admired me saying about my green eyes�my beautiful hair�my innocent face which he missed these years�.Maya was also very happy to meet his father� Mayank was also happy to see his little princess who has also turned to a beautiful young lady�After this day we lived happily ever after�.
Note-the coffee part is taken from a small sms....this is my return treat as my xams r over

Girls (With A Hint Of Boys) Night0 Reviews
Snow has an interesting night.
As He laced His fingers through mine I shivered slightly at His warm touch.
"So what are We going to do?" Wise asked, breaking the silence.
"A movie I guess" I shrugged. I had no ideas on what to do next considering Gel and I had already covered pretty much everything You do on a girl's night.
Talk about boys, check. Fix hair, check. fix brand new friends clothes, check and check.
The only thing left was movies. And eating- who could forget that?
"You had Gel cut Your hair" West said as He brushed a strand away from My eyes.
"Yeah" I blushed.
"It suits You. Did You have a movie in mind?"
"I don't even have any movies. We might actually have to watch some of My Aunt's" I replied, scrunching My nose at the thought.
"I'm sure She has an alright collection" Wise reassured Me as We all entered the house to see Aunt Meera with Her arms crossed.
"I suppose I have to feed You boys" She said through pursed lips.
"I'm sorry if We are intruding Miss Meera, but We really wanted to spend time with Our new best friend. And anyways I thought You liked Me?" West replied.
"I do. No one cleans My house like You- but I know that You are after-" She started, but I glared at Her.
She sighed.
"I know You are after food and that changes things" She finished.
"I won't eat too much?" West offered.
Aunt Meera walked back into the kitchen.
"Why does She always walk away when Her answer is yes but stays still when Her answer is no?" West asked.
"Because when She stays still it is a challenge. If She walks away it means She approves" I grinned as We walked into the lounge room.
After looking at the movie collection (all horror I might add) We picked Nightmare On Elm Street.
Gel and Wise took the couch, and I noticed that Aunt Meera had placed a blanket on the floor.
I sighed, placed the DVD in the player and sat back against Gel's legs, situating Myself an inch away from West.
"If I here smooching sounds I am going to get up and make You wish You hadn't" I said playfully as I tapped Gel on Her knees with the back of My head.
"Hey I'll be scarred if You start making out with West" Wise replied as He grasped West's shoulder for a second.
I rolled My eyes. West wouldn't be so bold as to kiss Me in front of friends would He?
Half an hour into the movie and West still hadn't budged.
I sighed- Mum and Dad fell in love almost instantly, so why can't it happen to Me?
"I'm going to go get a drink" I said as I stood up and walked into the kitchen.
"Has West made a move yet?" Aunt Meera asked as She chopped vegetables for a salad.
I shook My head no.
"He will. I peeked in a couple of times and saw Him looking at You" She smiled.
I smiled weakly and walked back into the lounge, sitting back down next to West.
"When the movie is over, can We talk?" West whispered into My ear as He brushed My shoulder with His hand.
I shivered slightly at His warm touch and nodded.
"Dinner's ready" Aunt Meera called.
Gel and Wise got up immediately and walked into the kitchen, but West hadn't budged so I didn't want to move either.
"The reason I wanted to talk to You was..." West stopped as He looked into My eyes.
I blinked and waited.
"I kind of like You" He whispered and turned away from Me.
I was angry.
"You kind of like Me? Well make up Your mind and let Me know. Oh and another thing, look Me in the eye" I growled, got up and walked into the kitchen, leaving West with His thoughts.

Finding cancer early
When stomach cancer is detected and treated early, the chances of successful treatment are better. Recognizing symptoms and getting regular checkups are the best ways to detect stomach cancer early. The sooner symptoms are reported, the sooner a doctor can diagnose and treat the cancer.
High-risk individuals
People who are at higher than average risk of developing stomach cancer may need to be tested more often than people with average risk. Examples of what puts a person at higher than average risk include:
People who are at higher than average risk should talk to their doctor about a personal plan for testing. A personal plan of testing may include:

Chinese swim star denies doping
Ye Shiwen, centre, denies taking performance-enhancing drugs
Chinese swimming sensation Ye Shiwen has firmly denied taking performance-enhancing drugs.
The 16-year-old was speaking at a press conference hours after adding the Olympic 200m individual medley title to the gold she won in the 400m version. Critics expressed concern after she took five seconds off her personal best and more than a second off the world record in the 400m individual medley.
But when asked if she had used doping to improve her performance, she bluntly replied: "Absolutely not."
During Tuesday night's press conference, which was dominated by questions on doping, she claimed the criticism was undeserved.
She said: "I think this is a little bit unfair for me, however I was not affected by that. I'm not affected by the outside noise."
She agreed with the analysis of Jiang Zhixue, who leads anti-doping work at China's General Administration of Sport, who said the critics were biased.
"I also feel the same way, they are biased," she said. "I think that in other countries other swimmers have won multiple golds and no-one has said anything. How come people criticise me just because I have multiple medals?"
American coach John Leonard described Ye's first gold medal performance as "disturbing" and "unbelievable". But the Olympics' world body said drugs cheats at London 2012 would be caught and athletes who put in world record-breaking performances should be given the benefit of the doubt.
The International Olympics Committee (IOC) said critics concerned about Ye should "get real".
"These are the world's best athletes competing at the very highest level," IOC communications director Mark Adams said. "We have seen all sorts of records broken already all over the place."

Boston Logan Taxiway Proposal Extended
The FAA extended to September 22 the public comment period for a draft reevaluation of a proposed centerfield taxiway at Boston Logan International Airport. The FAA deferred its decision on the proposed centerfield taxiway until the taxiway operations north of Runway 15R/33L were assessed. If approved by the FAA, the centerfield taxiway would be a 9,300-foot parallel taxiway between Runway 4L and 4R. According to the FAA, "It would reduce the chance of conflicts between taxiing aircraft and aircraft operating on the runway. The centerfield taxiway would also allow aircraft to taxi to the runway or to the gate more efficiently. Additionally, it would reduce the number of aircraft queuing on existing taxiways, thus reducing delays and air emissions." The proposed centerfield taxiway is included in a list of actions aimed at improving the airfield's safety and efficiency and was studied extensively in the Boston-Logan Airside Improvements Planning EIS/EIR (1995 to 2002).

The efforts to keep the Auto Vue Drive-In near Colville from going the way of the dinosaur have been rewarded.
According to owner Steve Wisner, he has recently purchased a digital, 65-foot wide movie screen from the now closed Park In Drive-In at Soap Lake.
ŌĆ£This is really exciting, and I want to thank the lady who tipped me off about the screen,ŌĆØ said Wisner last Friday.
Last summer, Wisner was looking at the possibility of closing the Auto Vue because of the film industryŌĆÖs transition to digital, and the high costs associated with changing over his equipment, which included the screen and projector.
Wisner had already taken out a loan to upgrade the Alpine Theater, the traditional cinema he owns in Colville, from old-school film to state-of-the-art┬Ādigital.
Digital or nothing at all - no more film
And he wasnŌĆÖt the only one. Drive-ins and small town movie theaters around the nation face the same dilemma, since the film industry has phased out sending film to theaters.
So itŌĆÖs either go digital or go nowhere for many mom and pop theaters.
But after the expense of converting his theater equipment, Wisner said he simply couldnŌĆÖt borrow the $186,000 it would take to modernize the Auto VueŌĆÖs projection system as well as replace its dangerously frail┬Āscreen, which was built from cedar.

Amarok 2.1 is out & Installing Amarok 2.1 on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty
[ Saturday, 13 June 2009, SathyaBhat ]
I was catching up on some feeds yesterday, and this piece of news caught my eye – Amarok 2.1 released. Being a long time Amarok fan ( heck Amarok itself was catalyst to make me use my SUSE 10.0 use full time) – I read the article with great interest. Amarok 2 users would know that Amarok 2 series is a shadow of its old Amarok 1.4("Amarok Classic" self) – and quite a few people still prefer Amarok classic to Amarok 2 – primararily because of Amarok's missing support for visualizations, equalizer amongst others. I don't use equalizers – and as for visualization – well don't use that either.
Coming back to the point – Amarok 2.0 release was somewhat like a KDE 4.0 release – more of a framework release, basic building blocks in place, but just about. I terribly missed queuing support, and promptly stopped using Amarok (and on a different note, switched to Gnome – Rhythmbox is sweet!). Amarok 2.1 brings in a lot of improvements – and the most obvious one is the improvements to the playlist and main play window area. With Amarok 2.0 – the playlist area was a bit of a hit and a miss the lyrics, Wikipedia info was there but wasn't obvious, you had to "Add the plasma" and once you added multiple plasma("applets") you had no idea how many were there without "zooming out" and overlooking it. And with the zoom effect not at its slickest best it was a big chore. Amarok 2.1 fixes this by adding buttons which bring up the respective applets making it easy to remove the exisitng applets, add new ones or simply re-arrange them.
Another nice feature introduced is "bookmarking" – any track with a length greater than 10minutes and Amarok will save the last listened position, so when you return to playing the track, it resumes from the last bookmarked place. You can also manually bookmark any track btw.
There are other improvements too – only I couldn't figure it because the damned player wouldn't play anything
I've put my query in Ubuntu forums over here – my problem is that Amarok just refuses to play any local files. If any of my readers can help me figure this out, it'll be great, just drop a comment.
As for installing Amarok, its pretty straightforward, Goto System -> Administration -> Software Sources. Click on third party sources, click on Add, enter the below line.
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu jaunty main
Save, update. Launch Synaptic, search for amarok and mark for install.
That's it, Amarok 2.1 is ready to rock. Were you able to get Amarok successful run on your system ? Do drop a comment.

Well, I have no Ide. I can onlay speculate. Amarok just works well for me, but I am using KDE.
First thing I would check is the installed codecs. Maybe there is a problem with them.
Then you have to keep aware that Amarok uses Phonon. Try to play some files with other players using phonon. If they work, you know it is a special Amarok problem. If not, then maybe there is a fundamental problem with phonon. Maybe a conflict between Phonon and Pulseaudio.
Then I would check what file types and conditions are the problem. Does it affect any audio file or just a certain type like mp3? does playing files rom anpther source work well.
Then I would check if there is a problem with the installed KDE4 libraries or some compilation errors.
I have a similar Problem with playing audio in banshee on my system, btw. I also sont know why it refuses to play audio.
Just some ideas, maybe it is useful.
Burke – The codecs were installed fine. The error was solved once I installed phonon-backend-xine. Don't know I faced this problem, couple of my friends had installed and they didn't have any problems. Thanks.
don't add this ppa unless you are using gnome!
if you are using KDE, this ppa will also installs KDE4.3 Beta2 on your computer !!
On the good side of things, two of the most missed features (MySQL server usage without the preset one, and the ability to lay out your interface like the classic mode) are already back in Trunk for 2.2 and visualizations are being worked on already as a google summer of code project :]
The feature I miss more is MusicBrainz:
Wow, vertical text! Horrendous. Someone please shoot the GUI designer.
Amarok is a good player. I like to use this player but i feel this is not famous that much. I like your post about amarok.
Thanks for providing installation repo.

What started as day filled with personal pitfalls and exhaustion was supposed to end in a casual evening with friends, enjoying the voices of children, and possibly ending with a nice glass of something mellowing while chit chatting in a back yard or deck.
That wasn't God's plan. Apparently.
We stood in a busy room and I listened to a litany of pain, questioning God's will, hoping for a shred of hope. As the conversation continued in the darkness of an emptying parking lot we held each other through a shared understanding of a shared confusion and, in soft words under velvet starlit night, we put our arms around our sister and petitioned a kind God on her behalf.
Love does that.
Driving home, as the debrief of an interesting evening bounced off the dashboard and we tried to be gentle in our explanation of how those who once professed undying love and affection, enduring bonds of friendship still considered us a threat and worth continuing to warn others away from our home, our presence, our words… Explanations seemed empty. And the boy had heard all the excuses before. He knew what we weren't saying. He knew what had been done.
Love doesn't do that…
A hunger for ice cream and cake balls led us to the 24 hour temple of indulgence known as Walmart and while we hemmed and hawed over Moose Tracks or Cookie Dough, Sherbet or Sorbet, God was drawing her across a dark parking lot until, our bags swinging from careless fingers a voice came, muffled, from beside our car.
"Do you know where Saving Grace is?"
What? The Sav…. Ooh… Her disheveled face, baggy sweatshirt, rumpled hair, and quiet pain rattled me. I looked quickly at my husband, realized he had no idea what she was talking about and immediately called my friend.
"Hey, sorry to bother you so late, but do you know the number to Saving Grace? Call Brian, my phone is almost dead." With a click she was gone and i looked up into hazel eyes, red and puffy with crying…
"I can't fix this," I thought to myself in a moment of frantic inadequacy.
"My husband kicked me out and we just moved here from Yakima, WA and we don't know anyone. I don't have any gas and I don't know where to go. My mom took the kids, I don't have any gas. I just need some help…" Her voice trailed off as the pressure to keep it all together washed away her strength to tell the story again. Her hope that we would be kind was etched across tired features made all the more stark by the glaring, unyielding lights above us.
I found the number and wrote it down on the back of a Costco receipt, making sure to include my name and number… "Call me sometime, ok? " I feebly offered, feeling foolish and ridiculous as I said it. Seriously? She won't call me.
But God wasn't done and He wouldn't let me be done either.
Looking at my husband I asked, "Can we put gas in her tank?" He nodded quickly and I asked her if she'd let us do that for her. Caught off guard, she mumbled, "Sure… If you don't mind."
"Get in your car. Follow us to the gas station."
At this point, even though I knew what we were doing was right I still remained somewhat suspicious that she was panhandling… Cynical from so many cries for help from people who had no need, only selfish ambition and greed , I struggle with gracious giving.
As we drove across the parking lot toward her I realized she had walked almost 100 yards across black pavement, late at night, asking person after person for help. Until she ran into a our little family carrying ice cream and raving about cake balls… A small group who saw a person and responded.
We went to Walmart for dessert. God led us there for her.
Gas in her tank, $20 in her hand to make sure she had something to eat, the number for Saving Grace in her pocket and a quick conversation where I got her name, held her hand while she wept behind the wheel of that giant Suburban, and asked her to please call me next week so I'd know how she was, we got in our cars and drove our separate ways.
We prayed for her on the way home. Because that's what love does… In spite of the scars left by broken promises and shattered relationships. Because we live in a world where those who call upon the name of Christ are often those least likely to extend love we gave.
For greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his…
It was only a few bucks. Less than dinner and a movie. But she gasped when she read the meter on the gas tank and clutched tightly to the single bill I gave for food….
STOP (full confession… This took longer than 5 minutes. But I desperately needed to share it. Not because I need the affirmation but because the story must be told.)

|Brief Title ICMJE
|Self-Management to Prevent Ulcers in Veterans With SCI (Spinal Cord Injury)
|Official Title ICMJE
|Self-Management to Prevent Ulcers in Veterans With Spinal Cord Injury
|Brief Summary
The major objective of this randomized control trial is to determine whether a multi-component self-management intervention can increase the use of skin-protective behaviors in veterans with SCI. We will also determine whether improvements in skin care behaviors prevent or delay PrU recurrence.
|Detailed Description
Expected Contribution to the VA and Others: Lack of sensation and immobility increase risk of pressure ulcers (PrUs) in SCI, making them a serious, costly, and life-long complication for veterans with SCI. Prevention and/or early detection and reporting of PrUs in the community-dwelling SCI population is important because: SCI is the most costly medical condition in VA; PrUs cause morbidity and mortality in the SCI population; everyone with SCI is at risk of developing ulcers; and little empirical evidence exists to guide prevention/treatment of PrUs in this population. Reducing the prevalence of PrUs in SCI will have a significant impact on the VA's financial and resources. The study's long-term objective is to implement effective, consistent, and cost-effective PrU prevention protocols into routine clinical practice within VHA, enhancing veterans' general health and quality of life by reducing the need for costly hospitalizations and PrU surgery.
Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a multi-component self-management (SM) intervention increases the use of skin-protective behaviors and reduce skin worsening in veterans with SCI. The SM intervention consists of: 1) on-site decisional support to promote provider adherence to ulcer management guidelines, 2) enhanced, interactive PrU education, 3) chronic disease self-management skill-building via telephone based groups, 4) proactive care management using motivational interviewing to support ongoing self-management activities, and 5) distance technology. An education control intervention (ED) designed to be a credible intervention that is comparable to the SM will control for potential effects of natural history/time, treatment dosing, measurement processes, attention, the non-specific effects of therapeutic alliance, social support, and of receiving a manualized treatment with specific therapist procedures. The ED intervention will differ only in that subjects will not be instructed in any specific problem solving, self-monitoring, or SM techniques, with the exception of encouraging them to become informed consumers of SCI care. This project focuses on improving patient behavior and making health system changes.
Research Design: A randomized prospective multi-site, pre-test/post-test design.
Population: Veterans hospitalized for Stage III/IV pelvic PrUs from 6 VA SCI Centers. Participants must be >18 years, >6 months post-SCI, cognitively intact, reside in the community and oversee their own skin care.
Sources of Data: Patient demographic information measures of pressure ulcer knowledge, skin management needs assessment, readiness-to-change SM behaviors (symptom management, communication with providers, cognitive symptom management, etc.), and self-efficacy will be collect at 0, 3 and 6 months, Medical diagnosis, treatment and utilization information will be obtained from VA administrative data. Digital photos will be used to verify patient self-reported skin status.
Analysis: The primary outcomes of this study are: 1) increased use of skin-protective behaviors and 2) skin worsening outcomes (e.g., recurrence/new skin breakdown, median time to skin worsening,). Secondary objectives include: days in bed due to skin problems, severity of the recurrence/new skin breakdown, and hospital days due to skin problems; PrU knowledge, skin care self-efficacy, community integration/ participation and perceived quality of life. Multivariate and Cox proportional hazards regression models will be used to examine study outcomes.

Emmy-winning actress, Julie Bowen, of the hit TV comedy "Modern Family," starts a more serious role today: raising awareness about life-threatening childhood allergies.
The mother of three knows firsthand about potentially fatal allergic reactions.
When her oldest son was two years old, he developed anaphylaxis in reaction to a bee sting coupled with a bit of peanut butter.
It caused his face to immediately swell.
Other symptoms of anaphylaxis include chest pain; hives; breathing difficulties; tightening of the throat; lip and tongue swelling; nausea; dizziness and fainting.
She says her son was rushed to the hospital and immediately given an injection of epinephrine.
Bowen now is spearheading the nationwide awareness campaign with the help of the pharmaceutical company, Mylan, that makes an epinephrine-loaded delivery device called the EpiPen.
That was three years ago. Bowen says, "Today, we always carry epinephrine with us wherever we go."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates more than 9,000 children are hospitalized because of severe food allergies each year.

Reliant Energy and The Vineyard Energy Project join Masdar City and Louisville Gas & Electric as the latest to launch pilot projects using GE's smart grid enabled appliances
LOUISVILLE, KY - (November 17, 2009) - NYSE: GE – As more Smart Grid programs move out of the proposal phase and into live pilot testing, GE Consumer & Industrial's smart-grid enabled appliances are leading the way for the consumer component of the grid. That pace of adoption is expected to grow as more currently pending Federal grant applications are approved.
"As all types of electric utilities are looking for ways to make their grids more efficient, residential electric use is an important part of their planning. When you consider the overall energy use of a home, appliances account for about 85 percent, making smart appliance technology very attractive to utilities as a way to shed load during peak usage periods," said Kevin Nolan, Vice President of Technology for GE Consumer & Industrial. "Now that the stimulus grants have been awarded, utilities are moving forward with their plans - both those that did and did not receive funding."
Reliant Energy President Jason Few said: "Working with GE on this program will help us bring the benefits of the smart grid to more customers in the competitive Texas market. As more smart meters are installed, customers will be able to take advantage of smart energy applications offered by Reliant Energy, giving them better insight into how they use energy so they can make energy decisions that are right for them."
Vineyard Energy's David McGlinchey said: "The island is very focused on energy efficiency. Using this cutting edge smart grid technology to help us reduce the need for more power generation during peak demand times will help us reduce pollution by not firing up additional generating capacity and will eventually help our residents save money on their utility bills. The key learning will be if this solution is sustainable. Will our residents embrace these appliances? To accomplish our goals of less power generation, less pollution and lower energy costs, we need these appliances to be accepted into the island culture."
How GE Smart Grid Enabled or Demand Response Appliances work:
GE's "smart appliances" receive a signal from the utility company's smart meter which alerts the appliances, and the participants, when peak electrical usage and rates are in effect. In the pilot program, the signal word "eco" comes up on the display screen. The appliances are programmed to avoid energy usage during that time or operate on a lower wattage; however, participants could choose to override the program.
"Most pilot program participants in the LG&E pilot liked the control of using their appliances how and when needed and noted little need to change their behavior when using their refrigerators, microwave ovens or ranges. That is understandable," explains Nolan, "the only noticeable change in using the range is a longer pre-heat time, typically an increase of 5 minutes. For the microwave oven, the wattage used is decreased about 10% during peak hours.Other examples of savings are:
• The refrigerator delays the defrost cycle from occurring during peak hours and goes into energy saving mode. One participant's energy efficiency efforts with refrigerator usage over 10 weekdays showed over a 20% reduction of energy usage during peak hours.• Microwave ovens power down slightly by reducing wattage used when operated during peak hours.
• The "smart" dishwasher can delay starting the cycle to off peak times.• Choosing to delay laundry to off peak time can help consumers meet their own energy efficiency targets. Understandably, interaction with the dishwasher and laundry appliances was noted as the most challenging by the participants.

Family Feud just had the question "what would a lady cop do to her husband in the bedroom?" Of course I couldn't stop thinking about what Beckett probably does to Castle. The obvious answer was using handcuffs on him but when someone said "shoot him" I not only hope that Beckett would never go there with Castle, but I'm also kinda worried about what that says about our society if someone seriously gave that as an answer. All i know is that person obviously wasn't a Caskett shipper.

From Paris to Cognac in 10 Sips
Travel to Cognac without ever leaving your seat with these fabulous cognacs
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Some might call it a strange business: Imagine painstakingly crafting a spirit today that might not make it to the glass for 100 years or more, yet that's the cognac industry in a nutshell. This sense of delayed gratification — of obsession and tradition despite a global taste for novelty and a thirst for mass trends (we're looking at you, cotton candy vodka) — is precisely what cognac lovers might fail to realize about the premium drink with so much prestige, unless they find themselves smack dab in the heart of cognac country.
Click here to see the From Paris to Cognac in 10 Sips (Slideshow)
This deep-rooted history permeates all things cognac, a fascinating contrast considering the spirit's place in current American pop culture (Nas, Snoop Lion, and Jay Z all have partnerships with major cognac brands).
So whether you like it neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail — an increasingly popular option for mixologists and cocktail lovers in the United States in particular, where sales of the spirit increased 4.5 percent in 2012— tradition rules, and for good reason. Unlike in France's nearby winemaking regions, where vintage conditions alter a producer's wine year by year (beautiful Bordeaux is just 76 miles away), consistency across years is essential when creating the cognac that connoisseurs know and love.
Double-distilled in copper pot stills from eau de vie produced by local grape growers under strict regulations — Cognac is an AOC (or Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée), after all — cognac-makers must adhere to stringent rules to call their finished product, which is technically a brandy, cognac. The rules are arguably a real pain in the derrière: Distillate can't be produced after March 31 following harvest, the spirit must be aged for at least two years in French oak barrels from Limousin or Tronçais, and cognac must be 40 percent alcohol, but ultimately, the hard work pays off: All these efforts result in a drink that Victor Hugo once called "the elixir of the gods."
From armchair travelers ready for a vicarious visit to someone planning a trip tomorrow, we'll take fans of the beverage on a spirited journey from Paris to Cognac in 10 essential sips. The tasty trek begins in the City of Light, where cognac cocktails are gaining recognition, providing interesting bases and rich accents to mixed drinks, then tastes through the tipples on offer at all the major cognac houses in the region. There are cocktail recipes to try at home, must-try bottles to score, and touring tips to pore over, making this a boozy excursion you won't soon forget. Santé!

It is an old saying that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Nothing is easier than to give up the affairs of the world because one is incompetent in the affairs of the world. There is no wisdom in scorning riches simply because one is unable to obtain them, nor in despising the pleasures of the senses because one has not the means of fulfulling them. If the desire for these things exists, and if that desire is thwarted by circumstance, to add self-deception to frustration is to exchange a lesser hell for a greater. No hell is worse than in which one lives without knowing it.
For the desire which is scorned for no other reason than it cannot be satisfied is the greatest of man's enemies. One may pretend that it does not exist, that one has surrendered it, but one must sincerely answer the question, "If I could satisfy that desire, would I?" If that is not answered, to make a show of giving up the world, to take up the ascetic life not of desire but of necessity and to pride onself upon it, that is to hide one's face from the enemy and so become doubly vulnerable. Thus the first step on the path is to know what you want, not what you ought to want.
