First UK India Business Centre opens in Gurgaon
Gurgaon, Sep 19 : The first UK India Business Centre opened Thursday in Gurgaon to help British companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to enter the Indian market.
This is the first such centre to open in a major emerging market since Prime Minister David Cameron's announcement in November that Britain would go ahead with an initiative designed to transform the support given to the UK business overseas.
Lord Stephen Green, trade and investment minister, flew in with a delegation of 11 British trade associations to launch the centre, which is supported by UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) and the British Business Groups (BBGs).
"The centre will help UK small and medium sized businesses work closer with more established British businesses in India and provide them with the support needed to capitalise on the huge potential of the Indian market," said Green.
"The network of centres across India will also drive a step change in the number of UK companies doing business in India contributing to prosperity in both countries."
Patricia Hewitt, UK India Business Council chair, said the centre was the first of a planned network of six across India.
"It will be run by UKIBC in partnership with UKTI and the British Business Groups in India. Each Centre will provide meeting, training, networking and conference space alongside advice and other market entry services, with a particular emphasis on SMEs wanting to get into the Indian market for the first time."
The UK India Business Centre is located in Infinity Towers, Cyber City, Gurgaon and will act as the "hub" within the important North Central economic region in India. It will also have a "spoke" in Connaught Place, Central Delhi.
The trade delegates at Thursday's opening included senior representatives from the Aerospace Defence and Security Group (ADS), the Association of British Healthcare Industries (ABHI), the British Chamber of Commerce (BCC), British Expertise, the Engineering Industries Association (EIA), the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), the Institute of Directors (IOD), the Institute of Export (IoE), the International Visual Communications Association (IVCA), the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), and the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
Haryana Chief Minister Bhupindar Singh Hooda participated in a lamp lighting ceremony which was attended by leading UK and Indian businessmen and policy makers.

It is an axiom of American politics that "foreigners" do not vote in US elections. Over 1.2 billion Indians were reminded of this by US President Barack Obama's recent interview with the Press Trust of India (PTI).
As obvious as this fact is, it is repeated precisely because it is easy — for Americans and foreigners alike — to lose sight of. This is especially true during the presidency of Obama, whose many admirers around the world secretly believe he is also working for them. That's why then-candidate Obama (a freshman US senator) drew some 200,000 Germans to a Berlin speech and why, less than a year after candidate Obama became President Obama, Norway's Nobel Committee awarded him the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

Do you know how to have fewer weeds? Get rid of aphids? Grow bigger tomatoes? Have more vibrant geraniums? Neither do I, but some of these questions and many more might be answered at the next meeting of the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society on Wednesday, October 17 at 7:00 p.m. in the Sunshine Room at SIGN on North Street. The theme of the meeting is "an interactive evening", and every horticultural club member is asked to bring five helpful hints on any aspect of gardening. We all have heard all kinds of gardening advice and hints; this is the meeting to share them and compare them! Hope you can join us! Horticultural members, please remember to bring your garden pictures to add to the club photo album.
Remember that old song "Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places"? I read an interesting article a while back about people looking for love in the garden! That's right; a farmer in Boise, Idaho decided to try an idea called "weed dating". Singles who were looking for their special someone were invited to come out to the farm on a certain day, and everyone was assigned certain rows to weed in the garden. This gave them the chance to chat and get to know each other. Then afterwards, they all gathered for snacks and beverages. The article quoted one man who did meet his sweetie at the event; he said that when he saw the weed dating advertised, he knew right away that at least he would meet someone who shared his interest in the outdoors. Sure enough, he met his girlfriend there, but also other people who shared similar interests like conservation and outdoor pursuits, and possibly he made other new friends as well. An interesting idea!
Okay, now down to our gardening! If you have any herbs still left in pots, now is the time to "harvest" them for future use. We don't bring in our herbs for the winter; we have tried it numerous times, but they just turn very spindly and yellow and do not last well. We keep our house quite warm, maybe that is the problem. But for us, it works better to harvest the herbs in the fall. We dry our parsley; Mom always used to wash the leaves, dry them well, then lay then on paper towels on cookie sheets to dry out completely. We then stored the dried leaves in jars. You can also dry parsley in small batches in the microwave: lay them on paper towels on plates, and dry them in small increments of time. Be VERY watchful while you do this, because parsley will burn quickly!
Sage, one of my favorites, is easy to dry: just wash the leaves, lay them on paper towels on plates, and forget about them! They dry easily, and then you can store them in a jar for the next time you make stuffing for chicken or turkey.
Basil does not dry well; it loses much of its flavor. I have read that you can chop up the fresh basil and then freeze it in ice cubes. Then just keep these basil ice cubes in a bag in your freezer, and toss them in as needed for spaghetti sauce or soup.
Rosemary also dried very easily: cut off the stems, put them in a glass or vase (with no water) and just let them dry! Then you can store them in jars and bring them out next time you are cooking pork chops or pork tenderloin. Aromatic and delicious!
While the evenings are cool, there are still some glorious days in the sun in our gardens! Okay, you might have to wear a fleece and possibly even gloves, depending on how early you go out! But it is still a joy to sit and contemplate the autumn garden! Have a great week!

Incredibly special, she is
Posted in Aminah Ulfah, love you on 05/22/2013 02:01 am by FarahI used to have doubt about having baby girl in my life, might be due to how easy I dealt with Aqeef's babyhood, no loud crying, no high fever for completely one year, no frequent runny nose and most of all, I have a terrible feeling of those wet diaper and the fussy care for a girl. But then Aminah came. And to my surprise, she is such a good baby, just as good as Aqeef.
She is an incredibly special little girl that has a very special space in my heart. Some people said, it looks obvious that I love Aqeef more, but hey, you dont really know me. You don't sleep on the same pillow with me, every night. Aminah does. She shares my pillow since months ago. When she decided that she hates her own crib.
She crawls now, and climbs too, it's hard to say no when she wants to do something moreover when she wears that cheeky smile anyone couldnt resist. And I am her well known famous the one and only 'victim' to seek permission to do something adventures.
She is an 8 months old special little girl. I love her for the rest of my life.

Building Blocks for a Successful Business Blog
Posted by Mark White, Blog Consultant in Blogging Basics , Business Blog design , Starting a BlogYou want to have a blog which benefits your business – yes?
You want a blog which people are going to want to come back to time and time again – yes?
Essentially, you want a blog which is going to be successful – yes again?
Well, to give you the best chance of a successful business blog, then you're going to need to make sure that you tick all the boxes to ensure that all of the underlying elements are in place to make that happen. It's not difficult but it is important.
For me, there are 5 elements which are like building blocks that make a blog what it is, 5 layers if you like that constitute the makeup of a blog and so 5 key aspects that you need to keep in mind as you plan and develop your blog.
1. Philosophy
Underpinning everything else are the general philosophy needed for blogging – you've got to be comfortable with the basic ideals of what people expect from blogs or else you're going to fall at the first hurdle. The key one is that of openness – if you, or your company, are not willing to be open and honest in dealing with the readers of your blog then the likelihood is it will not achieve the goals you have for it. Be transparent and honest, and you're off on the right foot.
2. Technology
You need to build the blog on the right technology base so that it supports what you want to do with it. It has to be one that will help your blog achieve the requirements that you have for it, both now and in the future. Making sure that it can grow with your ongoing needs is key to effectively future proof all the work and effort that you'll be putting in. There are a number of excellent blogging platforms available – my own preference being for the full self hosted WordPress – but just ensure that you pick one that will be able to grow with you.
3. Business
Getting the business elements right means that you are treating the blog as the business and marketing tool that it is rather than as a piece of technology divorced from the company's aims and requirements. Getting the business part right means that you've planned your objectives and aims for the blog, know how you intend to promote it (including with social media tools in place) and have answered the 3 key questions in the planning phase which are:
- i) What do you want the blog to be used for
- ii) Who is your target audience and what do you want to attract to your blog
- iii) What you want to achieve with it and how to measure that?
4. Layout and Graphics
The so called "look and feel" layer focuses on how the blog will be laid out and takes into account not only the graphical elements and branding but also how the layout and structure can reflect the goals of the blog and the company. In addition, the layout should support the business goals by ensuring that the key "real estate" areas are used as effectively as possible and navigation remain intuitive and compelling giving a "stickiness" to the blog.
5. Content
Finally the content is ultimately where your ongoing focus needs to be, with all of the other elements essentially being there in place to support and market what you write about. This is of course the key part which needs to have our ongoing focus since all of the other elements will ideally be planned and implemented in the planning and preparation phases.
While the content element does rightly get the lion's share of our attention and much of the online advice on setting up and writing blogs, the content will only work to its full potential in a blog built with a foundation of the other elements outlined above. They are what ensures that the content is correctly focused, distributed, read and shared – essentially delivering you a successful blog in the process.

July 5th, 2009 at 7:12 pmI've been waiting patiently for you next blog post, great to see you back. I think content is always going to be the most important of the blocks. A flashy blog with poor content loses to a basic blog with good content every time.

July 7th, 2009 at 12:46 amThanks Liam, that's kind of you. As for your comment, I agree absolutely, but I think that our goal has to be to ensure that we give our content the best possible chance to get read and shared. So good content by all means, but let's put the infrastructure around it to promote it to our best ability.

March 12th, 2010 at 5:21 pmHi I was interested about getting the foundation right. I currently use typepad, although WordPress seems to be favoured by most. It was recommended to me by a blogger but I have found it tricky to add things in like widgets and design the structure of the site myself. Typepad doesn't offer much support apart from forums and a database which never has what I need in it! Can you tell me if Typepad is a good IT based for a fully commercial blog site. I think typepad call it a web blog rather than blog because it has lots of additional features. I'd be really interested to hear your take on this.

Chicago needs all the entertainment it can get before this whole state goes into hibernation until next May. As soon as the weather gets somewhat manageable we all run to streets praising hallelujah and dancing til' the morning sun. From all the major festivals to smaller performances and a summers worth of high profile concerts, Chicago is a music town despite all the anti-raving acts and promoter fiascos.
In case you haven't been reading the papers (I know, what's a paper?), July 2010 was [almost] the hottest on record. And August is just starting. There's not much we can do here at URB to stop this overall warming of the planet (we stopped killing trees, if that helps), but we can recommend some great chill out music to help beat the heat.

Carrying the burden
because the Commanding Officer said so
(Page 4 of 5)
At the end of their training period in the Nachal recon unit they had a 'masa mesakem' or final trek. This 90 kilometer (50 miles) march is one of the most difficult experiences in the Israeli army and is a test of endurance as well as will power. The soldiers are gradually being prepared for this grueling experience from the beginning of their army service with the treks beginning at 4-5 kilometer baby hikes to 10, 20 40 and eventually 60 or 70 kilometer hikes, so that they are ready for the 90 kilometer trek when it comes. In addition to the gradual training of long distance walkling and running sometimes with open stretchers carrying wounded, they are also trained to carry additional gear. Each soldier, in addition to his gun and gear, carries an additional piece of equipment such as a jerry can, stretcher, grenade launcher or radio. One of the heavier items (known as a 'pakal') is the heavy MAG machine gun known in slang as the 'Mag.' The Mag is always given to a larger, solidly built soldier since it is very heavy and difficult to carry; as such it also is an honor to carry. The soldier who carries it has been training with it through his entire army service and is ready to carry it for 90 kilometers having trekked with it through all of the previous treks. But the particular solider tasked with the Mag on this march was sick, and collapsed a few kilometers into the march. Daniel, who was nearby, immediately ran to his aid when he collapsed, and his commanding officer said to him "Mendel (Daniel's nickname in the army): Kach et haMag" ("Daniel take the Mag"). Now Daniel, a gifted musician, was not a very big boy, and was not trained to carry this heavy load. But if your commanding officer says "Mendel Kach et haMag," you take the Mag. So Daniel hefted the heavy machine gun on his back and proceeded to carry it for the remaining 80 kilometers. He succeeded in finishing the trek, after which he promptly collapsed and ended up in the hospital; but he finished the trek and became a legend in his unit.

The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) is expressing its gratitude to Congress for recent legislation that increased Fiscal Year 2005 funding for the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Congress appropriated $2 million above the requested budget for the NTSB and directed the agency to use these funds to hire additional accident investigators for the NTSB's regional offices. GAMA's legislative staff worked closely with the House and Senate appropriations committees to ensure that this funding increase took place for FY 2005.
"Ensuring the NTSB has sufficient regional staffing to send an investigator to the site of every fatal general aviation accident results in a more timely, orderly and thorough investigation," stated Ron Swanda, GAMA's Interim President. "Unfortunately, many NTSB regional offices have been understaffed for some time. This modest increase in the NTSB's budget should improve the quality of NTSB's field investigations, ensuring we have a thorough record of all the facts that led to a tragic fatality -- allowing us to prevent future ones."
"It is reassuring to know that Congress recognizes that the NTSB is the world's premier agency for investigating transportation accidents and has chosen to provide additional funding to help keep it that way." GAMA will continue to work closely with Congress, the NTSB and GAMA members to ensure that all general aviation fatal accidents are fully investigated.

The domains carrying the opposing activities in adenylyltransferase are separated by a central regulatory domain
Clancy, Paula, Xu, Yibin, van Heeswijk, Wally C., Vasudevan, Subhash G., and Ollis, David L. (2007) The domains carrying the opposing activities in adenylyltransferase are separated by a central regulatory domain. FEBS journal, 274 (11). pp. 2865-2877.

Adenylyltransferase is a bifunctional enzyme that controls the enzymatic activity of dodecameric glutamine synthetase in Escherichia coli by reversible adenylylation and deadenylylation. Previous studies showed that the two similar but chemically distinct reactions are carried out by separate domains within adenylyltransferase. The N-terminal domain carries the deadenylylation activity, and the C-terminal domain carries the adenylylation activity [Jaggi R, van Heeswijk WC, Westerhoff HV, Ollis DL & Vasudevan SG (1997) EMBO J16, 5562-5571]. In this study, we further map the domain junctions of adenylyltransferase on the basis of solubility and enzymatic analysis of truncation constructs, and show for the first time that adenylyltransferase has three domains: the two activity domains and a central, probably regulatory (R), domain connected by interdomain Q-linkers (N-Q1-R-Q2-C). The various constructs, which have the opposing domain and or central domain removed, all retain their activity in the absence of their respective nitrogen status indicator, i.e. PII or PII-UMP. A panel of mAbs to adenylyltransferase was used to demonstrate that the cellular nitrogen status indicators, PII and PII-UMP, probably bind in the central regulatory domain to stimulate the adenylylation and deadenylylation reactions, respectively. In the light of these results, intramolecular signaling within adenylyltransferase is discussed.

Lara Logan Breaks Her Silence on Cairo Assault
Lara Logan broke her silence on the sexual assault she suffered while reporting on the uprising in Egypt and her horrific story really highlights just what risks women take when attempting to do reporting around the world that their male counterparts do not have to endure and what a long way so many parts of our societies around the world have to go with their treatment of women.
Listening to what she went through in Egypt on a day that should have been one of celebration was just truly horrifying.
Lara Logan breaks silence on Cairo assault:
The night of Feb. 11, the Egyptian dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak was falling. More than 100,000 people filled Cairo's Tahrir Square in wild celebration. Among those in the crowd was our "60 Minutes" colleague, correspondent Lara Logan.
Lara, a native of South Africa, is an experienced war reporter, but Tahrir Square became her most hazardous assignment.
During the revolution, dozens of reporters were assaulted, often by agents of the regime. On the night of the 11th, a mob turned on Lara and her "60 Minutes" team and singled her out in a violent sexual assault. Since then, Lara has been recuperating with her husband and two children.
Now, she is returning to work and she has decided to tell the story of what happened - just once - on "60 Minutes."
She's speaking out, she tells us, to add her voice to those who confront sexual violence; to break what she calls the "code of silence."
Lara arrived in Cairo at a moment of triumph for Egypt. She didn't imagine, in the hours before midnight, she would be fighting for her life.
Full transcript at the link for 60 Minutes above.

While the difference of the terms "democracy" and "republic" have bee blurred in past years to the point that even our elected officials can't tell you the difference, the two are very, very different.
Simply put a democracy allows for the rights of the majority to rule. A republic says that the rights of the majority shall not supersede the rights of the few.
Why is it then that, while living in a republic, a single individual in Canton cannot build a house without fear of being sued by the county commissioners? If the man is of average intelligence, he knows the problems of building at his chosen site. He has been warned by the same commissioners that have now gone into parental mode and said "no means no."
I might be taking a simplistic view, but it just seems that, while there is a limited need to zone, zoning laws pertaining to land that has been purchased for single family use are in violation of a citizen's constitutional rights to their property and the use of it. Any lawyer will roll their eyes at the mention of the constitution in this venue; however it is there for the protection of the citizens of a government that is rapidly being allowed to become more socialistic with every passing law and edict. Broad based zoning and a restriction of privately held land doesn't belong in the "land of the free." A government based on the ideals of a republic should not be able to tell people where to build on their own property, what type of building to live in nor require them to get permission in the form of a permit. History tells us that if we push people into a corner they will, when all else fails, fight back usually in a violent manner. Remember the revolution through which this country was born? If you are concerned about future owners attaching a warning to the deed and warn them as well. If Mr. Slabaugh's falls off a cliff it his problem as longs as it doesn't directly affect anyone else. Leave the man alone and continue with your job of running the county not the individuals in it. You seem to be having a difficult enough time just doing that.

Eden and Rosemary's Info...
Breed: | Chihuahua Mix | Color: | White - With Brown Or Chocolate | Age: | Adult |
Size: | Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less | Sex: | Female |
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi – I'm Rosemary (the white one) and Eden is the brown girl. We recently found Animal Allies of Texas through a kind woman who kept us warm during the winter. So here's our story or what we can remember anyway. We believe we use to have a home because we know basic commands, have no problems sleeping in a crate and will tell you when we need to go outside. You tell us no and we stop whatever we were doing. Something happened to our family and we're not sure what or why we were abandoned and left at this apartment complex to fend for ourselves. And if I can say so I think we did quite good – but it's scary for little ones like us. Anyway a nice couple kept watch over us since about August 2012. They fed us some and they even brought us into their home and gave us a warm place to sleep when it was cold outside. We really liked them but because their apartment complex charged a lot for a pet deposit they couldn't keep us. So that's when they contacted AAT and asked for their help.
You can see why it's hard for us to immediately trust you – but we really want to and we're learning quickly that humans can be good. Oh but I'm getting ahead of myself. So a nice man came and picked us up from the couple's apartment and gave us kisses all the way to Metro Paws Animal Clinic. There several nice people checked us out, gave us shots (ouch) and told us we were heartworm negative so we don't have go through that terrible treatment. Eden has a small little heart murmur which she has to take a tiny bit of medicine every day – it's really inexpensive. This condition is not unusual in us small dogs. Then we went to another animal hospital and got spayed and micro chipped so if we ever get lost we can get back home. Finally we were picked up and taken to another house with a big backyard to play in and two brothers like us and two girls called cats.
My moms told us we are going to stay there with them until we find our forever home. We get along great with our brothers and even the cats. My brother Tanner and I are getting to know each other and he likes to play. My other brother just ignores us. Oh well, his loss. Eden is still shy but she's beginning to come out of her shell seeing that these humans are pretty good people. We usually just lay quietly with you if you're watching TV. We give you kisses every now and then and we tell you when we need to go outside and have never had an accident in the house. We've got some toys here that we are enjoying playing with. At night we are in a big crate together so we can snuggle up with each other.
So we always get asked what we want in our forever home. The first thing is that we must be adopted together. We know that we're asking a lot… and we're okay if it's just the two of us or if we have other pet brothers or sisters. We promise that we'll be nice to the cats if you have any, but children under 13 frighten us and it's better if there are no young ones in our new home. What we really want is to know that you will love us and take care of us forever. We will give you lots of kisses and snuggle up with you if you will just give us the opportunity to show you how big our hearts are
So if you are willing to give us both a loving forever home, please put in an application at animalalliesoftexas.org for Eden & Rosemary today!

While working toward this goal, we will also engage in community service and humane education projects to help bring about "humanity championed by thought."
We hold adoption events at one or more locations every week end. Please check the calendar on our web site www.animalalliesoftexas.org for specific locations and times.
All potential adopters must submit an application, either online via our web site www.animalalliesoftexas.org or a paper application at an adoption event. General requirements for adoption: You must live in the DFW/Ft. Worth/North Texas area - we do not adopt outside this area. Dogs must be primarily inside, and cats must be totally inside. Cats must not be declawed. All pets must be spayed/neutered if this has not been done prior to adoption. Adopter must agree to a home visit prior to adoption. Adopter MUST agree to return pet to AAT if he/she can no longer keep the pet or if AAT deems it to be in the best interest of the pet. An adoption agreement detailing these and other requirements must be signed to finalize adoption. Current fees are: dogs-$175, cats-$110. This covers all vaccinations, spay/neuter and microchipping.

The bold nature of Aries will attract shy Virgo initially but once the novelty wears off, the couple will have to find other ways to keep the attraction intact. The common ground between both is that both like honesty. Virgo has a giving and sacrificing nature and in many situations Aries might end up exploiting this.
Virgo is given to deep thought and an intellectual sign rather than a physical being. Aries on the other hand is a non-stop go-getter who hates to stay in one place and is perennially rushing off to conquer new terrain. Aries is followed by a string of controversies due to impatience but being blessed with the gift of the gab, talks his or her way out. Aries loves to bounce ideas off Virgo and Virgo loves to help with the details.
Virgos have a tendency to find fault and loves to arrange things in an orderly way. Virgo is very cautious in each step that he or she takes; conversely Aries throws caution to the winds while plunging into something new and exciting. Virgo must understand how to handle Aries and do this by tempering constructive criticism with compliments thrown in.
Virgo would be very happy to leave all the sexual initiative in the capable hands of Aries. However, Aries will expect Virgo to take the lead sometimes. Virgo will take time to open up sexually whereas Aries is rather impatient. Also Virgo loves to be gently led step by step towards a sexual climax whereas Aries will tend to rush things.
Virgo and Aries will have an unusual social life collecting plenty of eccentric or creative friends. This will infuse a great deal of interest in their life.
Is this the perfect match for aries or best match for virgo? If the couple recognizes the strengths of each other, Virgo with the brain and Aries with the brawn, they could have a great match. Also Virgo brings in the element of planning into Aries` life and this is a great help as it builds a strong foundation for the dreams and aspirations in their lives.

River Clean-Up 2013
If it could, the Iowa River would likely be heaving a big sigh of relief right now. Thanks to the efforts of 77 volunteers on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013, the river is now free of about 2.5 tons of trash, including a riding lawnmower, numerous bicycles, tires, and more.
The effort was a collaborative effort that brought together University of Iowa students, staff, and other volunteers to pick up refuse in and along the Iowa River as it flows through Iowa City. Several organizations cooperated to organize the clean-up effort, including the City of Iowa City, the UI Engineering Staff Advisory Council (ESAC), UI Facilities Management, and the UI Office of Sustainability. Many students from campus Greek organizations also took part. The volunteers collected trash from Park Road to Sturgis Ferry.
ESAC Activities, 2012–13
Make a Difference Day
On Saturday, October 27 ESAC members joined in the Press Citizen Stock the Pantry Food Drive.
Fighting Hunger in Johnson County
Nationwide, demand at food banks is increasing. But as the recession drags on, some Midwest food banks report flagging donations. A group of University of Iowa staff are part of a local partnership working to make sure that doesn't happen in Johnson County.
The Iowa City Press-Citizen organized "Stock the Pantry," a food drive to benefit three area food pantries: the Crisis Center, North Liberty Community Pantry, and the Coralville Ecumenical Food Pantry. Several other area organizations participated, including the University of Iowa Engineering Staff Advisory Council (ESAC), 10 area elementary schools, and Hy-Vee.
For more information about the Food Drive and to see how your contributions were used please visit the Press Citizen web site here.
Cleaning Up
On June 2, volunteers spent a very productive morning picking up refuse along the banks of the Iowa River as it flows through the University of Iowa campus. IIHR staff member Brandon Barquist, who led the event, estimates that the group amassed more than 1,000 pounds of trash. The refuse was sorted for recyclables after collection.
The University of Iowa Engineering Staff Advisory Council (ESAC), along with UI Facilities Management, the Office of Sustainability, and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, organized the Riverwalk Clean-Up project. The volunteers collected trash along the banks of the Iowa River from the pedestrian bridge near Hancher to the railroad bridge just north of Benton Street.
Barquist says the project is part of ESAC's commitment to community service. "As members of the university community and especially as staff of the College of Engineering, we feel a special attachment to the river and the environment we work in every day. We're glad to have this opportunity to help make things a little better."
Members of ESAC are elected by their co-workers to represent all staff members in the College of Engineering. ESAC was established to facilitate communication within the college, represent staff to the administration, and promote staff involvement. Organizing service projects such as this one is also part of ESAC's mission.

Voluntary participation in restorative practices

Review: Walking the talk: Developing ethics frameworks for the practice of restorative justice
While restorative justice is a theory that encompasses a set of values for how justice should be done, maintaining those values and the restorative focus can become difficult in day-to-day practice. People working in restorative justice organisations – whether staff or volunteers – make a myriad of decisions related to practices each day. Such decisions may be related to work with clients, work with other organisations or internal processes and interactions. How can they make these decisions while maintaining the integrity of their restorative justice programme?
Susan Sharpe seeks to answer this question with Walking the talk: Developing ethics frameworks for the practice of restorative justice. In the 62 page publication, Sharpe sets out a process that organisations and individual practitioners can use to develop an ethics framework to empower and guide decisionmaking. In doing so, she avoids the contentious issue of setting standards by developing the steps in a process that each organisation can use to develop a framework that has direct meaning for it and the various issues that it faces.

Child Justice Act undercut from within
from the article by Don Pinnock in the Mail & Guardian Online:
Even before it began the rocky climb through the parliamentary process, the Child Justice Bill was considered to be internationally path-breaking legislation. It was born in the euphoria of the early 1990s in a country where youth had been considered politically lethal, whipping was a sentence, imprisonment the standard response to wrongdoing and torture considered a legitimate interrogation method.
The new legislation sought to provide restorative justice by diverting child offenders from this punitive justice system and keeping them out of prisons, which simply hardened criminality. It devised ways to work with offenders and victims to restore harmony in the community where the crime took place. Punishment would be tailored to the crime and dealt in a way that maintained the self-respect of the offender as well as the approval of both community and victim.

Jason sold two houses for me in Memphis. Since I live in Nashville there were many things I couldn't help with because of the distance. He secured workers for repairs that did quality work for a reasonable price. I was unable to do this myself not being in Memphis. He handled this and went the extra mile to work with the buyer's agents to make sure the properties closed. I would not hesitate to recommend Jason to anyone in the Memphis area buying or selling a home.
Response from Jason and Laura
I worked with Laura Wallace on purchasing a Hud property as Owner Occupant. Laura was of great assistance finding all the details and preparing the paperwork with timely response. The process is tedious and time consuming but went smoother than I thought it would based on what I had read on Hud home purchases. I would choose Jason and Laura Wallace in the future for Real Estate Services.

I will make this short and sweet. Jason and Laura are Excellent at what they do. They went above and beyond all of our expectations. In these tough economic times, my wife and I decided to sell our house in a neighborhood that already had several homes for sale. We watched as these homes just sat on the market. When we listed our home, Jason told us exactly what needed to be done and within 3 months, we were at the closing table. Needless to say, the houses in our old neighborhood are still sitting there!! I would highly Recommend using Jason and Laura. Thanks again

I had the pleasure of working Mrs. Diana Preston. Diana was and still is amazing! She was on a mission, and that was to find me a house. Diana found me a house in a nice, quiet location. She made sure the contractors stayed on top of their job. I would recommend the Wallace Team any day!
Response from Jason and Laura
Laura provided my wife and I with outstanding service, knowledge, and experience in our first home buying process. She's very prompt and attentive. She places your needs above her own. She's the epitome of hardworking and everything Keller Williams Realty for. She's just an amazing realtor and person who we would recommend ahead of anyone in her field!

Just some car related stuff.
Pretty bright, like them! The right icon is horizontally not well aligned ("Move me 1 or 2 px to the left, please!").

Definitly the car makers need to upgrade their dashboard interfaces and this is simply effective, nice one Oliver ;)
Just add my doubt the usage of the icon of the middle and the one on the right. I say this because in my opinion, those 2 kinds of information isn't necessary to be always checking, only if reach a "warning zone".
Probably they will only show up when reaching "warning zone" indication?The one on the left is a true "must have" and nicelly done ;)

Pumpy moves out a roof lead to a good, if uncomfortable and undignified, rest. Stand up and enter the steep dihedral (technical crux). "Top out" of this section for another really good rest if you can get it just right. Stand up again (a little awkward) and strive for the top of the "2x4". Clip (phew!) and make your way into the narrow chimney for a series of strenuous, sideways kneebars (psychological crux). Get another rest at the top of this system before pulling through the top little boulder problem to the chains.
The start of Restless is in a V groove just to the right of a nice, flat, stone table. A great place to don your shoes and kneepad.
8 bolts
This route is full of surprises. It is amazing that this line ascends such a stunning section of cliff. The rests are unlikely and unique and creative. The crux is very hard, and can seem impossible upon first encounter. The upper climbing is spectacular and dynamic, peppered with big holds that are sometimes very far apart. The kneebar allows upside down no hands rest!! And the handjam is welcome for those who know how to use it. The journey ends at a beautiful bucket seat for 1 person a body length from the top, which allows a moment of quiet reflection after having clipped the chains. Does climbing get any better than this?
Too bad that part of this awesome route's history has been ignored and almost forgotten. Seems like the name should still be Sunami. In my opinion, retro-bolting and freeing an aid line shouldn't be justification for a new name.
There is a long tradition of renaming routes once they are freed. By the way, Ted lead the route using far less bolts than there are today. He has a history of climbing free FAs with sketchy gear on loose rock. This is one of the first routes I got on at Rumney years ago and remember the technical corner seemed utterly impossible at the time to free and I had to back off. I figured it must have been an aid climb. Funny how seemingly impossible routes turn into the possible with a bit of work. Also there is now another route named Tsunami at this wall, so the name lives on.
Don't ask why it took me so long to get around to this route but i finally got on it today... I am still very confused at 2 or 3 moves in the crux corner but the rest of the route went really well... Im psyched to learn how it goes (ill accept help)...
..kind of blind right foot tight backstep
Sent today! the crux was not pretty but the rest of the route went well... if the crux was as fun as the rest of the route it would be my favorite 5.12 at rumney... maybe with some work i could make it flow... truely a rumney classic!
Super psyched on this route! I found this video on youtube. not the best quality but if you have comentary from a veteran of the route it does the trick

Conference focuses on the value of heritage resources for towns attempting to recover from recession
"Our drive for uncluttered, zero maintenance buildings is creating sterile, uninteresting towns which are unattractive not only tourists, but for high end multinationals seeking a suitable base for the highly skilled mobile professionals they employ", according to Liam Mannix, Heritage Council's Irish Walled Towns Network.
Today, over 100 people are today discussing how the heritage resources of a town can help it recover from the recession. The Conference which is jointly organised by the Heritage Council's Irish Walled Towns Network and UCC's Planning school and Department of Geography is being attended by economists, planners, geographers, architects and heritage consultants from both the private and public sector.
Since independence, many Irish towns have entered into a pattern of sacrificing their historic fabric for short-term development gain. The view is often held that with the demolition of old buildings and construction of new ones will create long term prosperity. In reality, this is rarely the case. Nonetheless this pattern is being continually repeated across the country without the realisation that the same mistakes are being made.
"The purpose of the conference is to demonstrate to people that there is another option which works. What needs to change is the local perception of historic structures in towns as inhibitors to long term prosperity, when in reality they are resources that have the potential to aid in the recovery of historic towns across Ireland. The small things that make a place interesting and add to the character of a place, such as painted walls signs, interesting ironwork, old timber windows and other unique fixtures have been slowly and systematically removed from the streetscape. Within the Irish psyche there appears to be a particular trait which makes us want everything to be clean. In our towns this has transcribed to a desire to keep well kept, colourful facades that are easy to maintain but lack the character of the authentic original features. These simple actions are stunting the ability of towns to maintain their distinctiveness which is essential to their viability as retail and entertainment destinations", added Mannix.
Put simply, people like uniqueness and a sense of discovery. In both Ireland and internationally the most popular tourist districts are the ones that are based on the human scale and have authentic facades and street life. Think of Kilkenny, Petergate in York, or La Ramblas and the medieval core of Barcelona. All of these places have maintained their medieval layouts and this makes them great places to walk around. Fáilte Ireland have also highlighted the desire by tourists to explore and discover for themselves what Ireland is all about.
Despite this, our drive for clean, zero maintenance buildings is creating sterile, uninteresting towns which are unattractive not only for tourists, but for high end multinationals seeking a suitable base for the mobile professionals they employ. This point was made at the recent Heritage Council Conference when speakers from the World Bank and IDA talked about the importance to multinationals of locating in aesthetically pleasing and culturally desirable places.
There is no question that when it comes to maintaining strong retail and entertainment products within historic urban centres there are constraints. However, the best way to deal with these constraints is to convert them to advantages. A good example is McDonagh Junction shopping centre in Kilkenny which utilises a 19C workhouse as a modern food hall and public entertainment space.
"The economic argument for tidying up or getting rid of an old building because it is easy is false. There is clear evidence to show that the reuse of historic structures is more cost effective than the construction of a new one, and that traditional materials have a longer and more cost effective lifespan than many modern products such as PVC windows", concludes Mannix.

The Conference 'Heritage as an Engine of Economic Growth in mid-sized Towns' is taking place today (Thursday 26th January) in Wood Quay. The event is jointly organised by the Heritage Council's Irish Walled Towns Network and UCC's Planning School and Department of Geography.
The Heritage Council is the statutory body charged with identifying, protecting, preserving and enhancing Ireland's national heritage. National heritage includes Monuments, Archaeological objects, Heritage objects, Architectural heritage, Flora, Fauna, Wildlife habitats, Landscapes, Seascapes, Wrecks, Geology, Heritage gardens and parks, and Inland waterways.
Established under the Heritage Act 1995, and operating under the aegis of the Department of Arts, Heritage and Gaeltacht, the Heritage Council provides advice to the Minister, and partners and networks with Local Authorities and a wide range of other organisations and individuals to promote Ireland's heritage.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Smoky Eye Alternative at Rebecca Taylor
The smoky eye: It's a makeup look that's as coveted as beachy hair. While both seem easy and effortless, an unexpected amount of product and time go into creating each look. More often than not, a few different colors are blended for a smoky eye, but the palette doesn't have to be the normal black, gray, and silver trio. Personally, I have a hard time working with those hues as I tend to end up looking like a raccoon. (Or perhaps I'm not applying it right.) Either way, I've found my happy medium using plum, violet, and lavender to compliment my brown eyes.
Fashion designer Rebecca Taylor was looking for a super-strong eye and lip to off-set the femininity of her spring 2011 collection on the runway. Lead makeup artist for MAC Sil Bruinsma used a combination of brown, copper, bordeaux wine, and orange for an intense eye, along with a brown eyeliner pencil and a few coats of black mascara on just the top lashes. (He's not a fan of piling it on to the point where your lashes look like spider-legs.)
Watch Bruinsma's how-to here:
Since one of the attributes to a sultry, nighttime look is loaded lashes, he compensated by working a kohl eyeliner right into the waterline. Think of it as coloring in the spaces between your lashes, which gives the instant effect of a lush and full set. Senior Beauty Editor Andrea Lavinthal shows you how here:
A few more tips to keep in mind:
1. If you tend to have oily eyelids, use an eyeshadow base or primer to melt-proof the makeup and to prevent creases.
2. When applying eyeliner, extend the top line out a bit so it creates a wing. This cat eye effect can be flattering on most eye shapes.
3. Regardless of what color palette you're using, dust the lightest one up through your brow bone, the medium hue over your lid, and concentrate the darkest color at your lash line.
4. Your fingers can do the job to an extent, but a fluffy eyeshadow brush can work wonders when blending, which is the real key to getting that smoked-out effect. (Bruinsma used this one.) Since a good brush set can be expensive, this one from e.l.f. does just fine for novices. Just be sure to clean them as bacteria can build up, which may lead to infections.
5. Lastly, blend the shadows upwards and outwards above the outer corner of your eye. The more you blend, the better the look will turn out.

2. For Brown Eyes, Using Purple Shadow

Please do not allow this loophole to be opened. I have thoroughly enjoyed the freedom from harrassment that the do-not-call registry has provided me and my family. The FTC has surely done the American people a huge service! I wish to continue my evenings un-molested by commercialism-by-phone, by interruptions-for-profit. In addition, I would like never to receive telemarketing phone calls from any organization whatsoever, whether or not I have a "business relationship" with them or not.

A few weeks ago we were able to piece together enough of the USU recruiting picture to determine that was hard after another wing and another point guard for next season, including who the prime candidates were. Since then we'd seen both of the wings on Utah State's radar commit to become Aggies, but the point guard situation was still a little bit unclear.
No longer...
Tenale Roland added his name to USU's potentially legendary 2012 recruiting class on Tuesday.
While Quan Conner made waves among USUfans with an impressive highlight video, Roland indeed might have been the guy the coaching staff coveted all along. While he didn't have the luxury of wowing fans with a slick-looking YouTube reel, Roland was the first to take an official visit to USU of the two, is touted as a stud defender (which we know is HUGE for Stew), had impressive numbers across the board and even brought home some all-American honors.
Roland was listed as a freshman at Rend Lake College last season, which leads to believe he and Marcel Davis will be splitting point guard responsibilities for the next three seasons. Under Stew Morrill at USU, no single point guard has played regular minutes for more than two seasons, so to have this kind of continuity would be something pretty major.
Also pretty major is Roland averaging 20.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game as a freshman this past season. He also shot 43 percent from the field and hit on 40 percent of his shots from behind the 3-point line.
In my book though, the biggest thing is the all-American honors. Chaz Spicer, Gary Wilkinson, Jared Quayle and Brian Green are the recent guys to make a major impact for the Aggies after grabbing all-American honors in junior college.
After a "disappointing" season relative to the expectations that come with Aggie basketball these days, one had to think the coaches would be looking for a big splash on the JUCO recruiting scene to go with all the underclassmen who played big minutes last year and to replace the departing seniors. With an all-American, a California co-Player of the Year, an uber-athletic wing from New York and highly sought-after big man, the Aggies look to be in a good spot for replacing Brockeith Pane and Morgan Grim, while adding more potential star power on the wings with Preston Medlin and Danny Berger.
Add these four JUCO transfers along with a pair of two-time first-team all-state players from Utah and one of the best basketball players in the history of Montana high school basketball, the 2012 recruiting class looks pretty freaking good right about now.

Watching fireworks on television is a waste of time. If you can't feel the boom, there's no point.
The kids wanted to go see fireworks live, but I said no. I explained that me with six little kids in a dark field at night trying to find a car (even a big white 12 passenger van) was not my idea of fun. Fritz very seriously detailed a plan involving rope that would give me peace of mind. Duct tape would probably work better.
As it is, the baby fell asleep at 530 PM in the car on the way home from the pool. I suspect a 3 AM wake up, but I promise I will not have a Part III to my series on my sleeping habits. Maybe I'll just do a daily log of my weight and how many cigarettes I smoked...no, that's been done already. Perhaps a mundane sleeping diary is the ticket to fame and fortune...
Then Jenny and Peter and I fell asleep during the pre-fireworks show at the Nation's Capital being show on PBS. I'd have had a hard time doing that in a dark field with six little charges, unless of course, duct tape were involved. I'm happy to only have to carry the little ones up the stairs to bed and not in and out of a car and up the stairs.
Before I fell asleep, I saw (on TV) a military helicopter in the air over the Mall. I know several pilots, and I can tell you that being assigned to the DC area has some drawbacks, to include being tasked to do flyovers of public events on federal holidays, usually the ones geared toward honoring you. So, while the average civilian's heart gets to swell with pride at seeing your helicopter or jet screaming through the air, your thanks for a job well done is another day at the office. And no, folks, there is no such thing as comp time in the US Military.
On the PBS show, they announced Barry Manilow performing. I muttered some amount of surprise that he was still alive and kicking. When the kids saw him, Billy said, "He's a young man!" I said he was an old man when I was their age (at least he seemed that way - he's three years older than my parents). I assume the man has had some assistance in his appearance. Either that or he has a very ugly portrait hidden in his attic. For perspective, Billy was insisting that his own father was an old man just the other day. But Barry Manilow is young. Maybe I should get Bill some botox for Christmas.
When I began this post, Katie interrupted to say that she couldn't sleep because of the locals setting off firecrackers. I told her lie in her bed, awake, until they were done. About 10 minutes later, some local fireworks show began and it woke up the baby (so much for 3 AM...). I looked in on Katie and she was fast asleep.
Fritz passed out too, but the noise got Billy to hopping around from window to window. Alas for him, we live in a forest, practically, and he could barely see some of the lights over the tops of the trees. I remember a time when I was about his age or a little younger and I was still awake when the fireworks started. My mom helped me find the best view (I think she wanted to see too). It was neat being up past my bedtime, being quiet to not wake my siblings, and being able to watch something wonderful.
I am glad that people still set off firecrackers and fireworks and whatever else is legal (or not). I'm not so sure that we all appreciate the magnitude of what was done on that original July the 4th. Certainly, we all are guilty of taking our liberties for granted most of the time - and I thank God for that. To be ever cognizant of our blessings usually means that we experience otherwise or fear that we are in danger of losing them. But it is because we are so assured of our freedom that we grow numb to just how special that is.
And once a year we simulate the noise and excitement of war without all that messy bloodshed. I think the roman candles are my favorite. Nothing gets your heart pumping faster.

My neighbors all gathered in our yard and even brought chairs for our little show. The whole neighborhood was POPPING! People all over town let of the HUGEST display I'd ever seen and we could see it all from our backyard. It was sort of bittersweet this year. My neighbor muttered, under his breath, "we NEED this this year. People NEED this."
The kids were screaming and running around like crazy (safely away from the bonfire and fireworks, of course. I hope they remember it forever.
