Abstract: Most scientists today have access to full-text e-journals. In most cases, this facility is provided right at the desktop. In this paper, we present a case study of full-text e-journal patterns amongst the scientists and engineers at the National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL), a constituent of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). The facility at NAL is provided right to the desktop through the NAL-CSIR-NISCAIR e-conglomerate. Today, National Institute of Science Communication and Information Research (NISCAIR) provides e-access to more than 4042 world-class e-journals to all S&T personnel of the CSIR fraternity. This CSIR-NISCAIR initiative allows any scientist in any CSIR Laboratory to access this electronic information to keep abreast of the latest technological developments in his area of specialization. The analysis of data on the full-text e-journal patterns is presented for the period 2005 to 2007. The major findings that we would like to highlight in this paper are: (a) the mean number (per-month) of full-text downloads for the above three years was found to be different through Kruskal Wallis test of 'One Way Analysis of Variance' at 1% level of significance and (b) Chi-Square test was applied to test whether there is independence between the years and the publishers. The calculated value of Chi- Square was found to be 510.6, which is highly significant. Hence we conclude that for the full-text downloads data, the years and the publishers are not independent. This Chi-Square test was carried out for only those publishers (4 in number) for which the data was available for all the three years (2005-2007).

Abstract: This article aims to introduce LIS professionals to plagiarism, its types, some famous cases and the numerous library web sites devoted to this important issue. Plagiarism by students and researchers in academic and research institutions is an old but ever growing problem. The proliferation of paper mills, full text databases, and World Wide Web pages has made plagiarism a bigger problem in academia. The easy availability of electronic information through Internet creates a challenge for librarians, who must be well informed not only to detect and deter plagiarism, but also to educate their users about its ill effects. This article also enumerates reasons for increase in plagiarism cases, how to avoid plagiarism, do's and don'ts of plagiarism, and finally prevention and punishment for plagiarism. Use of plagiarism detection tools can not only deter but also assist faculty to combat this form of academic dishonesty. In this article various anti-plagiarism tools have been enumerated and the advantages and disadvantages of using these automated texts matching software's are discussed and analyzed in brief. The librarian's role in informing masses about ill effect of plagiarism is also highlighted. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1068 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The paper reports the results of a survey conducted to know the collection of e-resources in Karnataka state university libraries. Attempts have been made to know the Internet facilities, procurement of CD-ROM databases and online resources, participation in consortium activities and e-resources accessible through such consortium activities in the university libraries. The paper traces the barriers in collection of e-resources in the university libraries. The university libraries under the study have insufficient number of Internet nodes, low bandwidth, poor collection of CDROM databases and online resources. The scholarly literature accessible under the UGC-Infonet E-Journal Consortium is the only strength of these university libraries, as far as collection of eresources is concerned.] URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1064 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Currently, in Taiwan there is no demonstrable solution for access management to the many heterogeneous electronic resources that academic and university libraries provide for users, such as the full texts of electronic journals and books, electronic databases, among many others. Shibboleth has been developed in U.S.A. and the United Kingdom and has become an emerging solution to the access management of electronic resources in a growing number of developed countries. Our experience in starting a virtual federation by setting up an Identity Provider (IdP) at Academia Sinica and a Service Provider (SP) at the Chinese Geoscience Union (CGU), Taipei, a society which publishes a SCI journal entitled "Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences", as well as request Shibbolethbased service from some participating Shibboleth publishers like Elsevier, Springer and Thomson ISI, can provide valuable experiences to any library or organization wanting to start a Shibboleth federated access management for reference.

Abstract: In the Web 2.0 environment, users are empowered to collaborate and share information. This has made the Web more participatory in nature thereby increasing the content creation at a rapid pace. With this, the ever challenging problem of categorizing content over the Web has increased tremendously. To combat this, Web 2.0 has one feature known as "Folksonomy". This allows users to attach tags to the content so that they can use these tags to retrieve the content in the future. Folksonomy has pros & cons compared to traditional subject indexing. This paper describes the fundamental problems inherited to Folksonomy with a case study of user tagging in Social Question & Answer Platform used within Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).

Abstract: E-print archives (electronic preprints) have become the first choice of many researchers for current research, breaking scientific discoveries, and keeping up with colleagues (and competitors) at other institutions. The citations being received to e-prints are evidences of the above stated importance of the archives. Impact Factor and Immediacy Index devised by Thomson Scientific Inc. (formerly Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), Philadelphia) are two parameters based on citations to evaluate traditional journals. These parameters for nearly 6000 scientific journals from all over the world are published yearly as Journal Citation Reports (JCR). As a case study, the present work has made an endeavour to calculate impact factors and immediacy indices of archives uploaded in the Physics categories of arXiv.org of Cornell University, USA by treating them as individual journals. The Physics e-prints uploaded in arXiv.org are classified into twelve sub-categories: viz. AstroPhysics (astro-ph); Condensed Matter (cond-mat); General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc); High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex); High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat); High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph); High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th); Mathematical Physics (math-ph); Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex); Nuclear Theory (nucl-th); General Physics (Physics); and Quantum Physics (quant-ph). Calculated impact factors and immediacy indices reveal that Nuclear Experiment has made good impact among the categories and followed by High-Energy Physics classes of arXiv.org (High Energy Physics – Theory; High Energy Physics – Lattice; High Energy Physics – Experiment; and High Energy Physics - Phenomenology). The citation trackers like Scopus and web-tools like 'Google-Scholar', 'Citebase', 'Citeseer' etc. will further strengthen the concluded impact of the archives.

Abstract: There is a large quantity of subscribed e-resources in our libraries and they contain quality information, though expensive. In spite of advantages in terms of access and search capabilities, they are underused. Systematic plan has to be in place for their promotion of use. While a good ICT infrastructure is a prerequisite, it alone will not do. Proactive strategies are required and these need to be adopted imaginatively. Access to e-resources need to be made easier for both on campus and off campus users. As a priority, active users need to be identified and they need to be converted to heavy users of eresources. Secondly, non users be converted to active users Various methods have to be tried in order to grab the attention of the users towards the e-resources. User training will increase the confidence level of the users. Traditional awareness methods include : Personal visits, user training, brochures, posters and displays. Newer technologies from the Web 2.0 such as RSS alert service, Blogs, Wikis and Facebook make the interaction with the library not only interesting but also add more value. Finally, the effectiveness of various promotional strategies need to be measured by monitoring the usage and user feedback. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1090 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The present study is an attempt to identify cancer institutes and associations' web sites that provide free information useful in research and scientific endeavors. Thirty seven cancer web sites have been identified by using Google search engine for the study with the site domains .org, .edu, and .ac. This ensures the organization is not a commercial body. Availability of research & review articles, clinical trials, scientific reports, conferences proceedings, and other information of scientific importance in full text form are studied by visiting respective sites. The study reveals that though there are innumerable sites on cancer and information content for cancer patients as well as their relatives, the coverage of free full text scientific information for cancer scientific community is woefully inadequate. Even though the sites are developed and hosted by professional bodies, access to full text scientific literature / information for scientists and clinicians is restricted.

Abstract: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing has emerged as a popular model aiming at further utilizing Internet information and resources. Flooding is the basic method of searching in unstructured P2P networks; however, the blind flooding based search mechanism causes a large volume of unnecessary traffic, and greatly limits the performance of P2P systems. Our study shows that a large amount of this unwanted traffic is divinable and can be avoided while searching in P2P networks. In this paper, we aim at reducing the volume of unnecessary traffic, by proposing An Unnecessary Message Prediction based Searching mechanism (UMPS). UMPS is a pure distributed scheme, it is based on the distributed neighbor list where neighbors within two hops are stored in. UMPS cuts down unwanted traffic by terminating unnecessary flooding that has been predicted in advance, and the techniques related to distributed neighbor list are also discussed. Simulation results show that more than 60% unnecessary messages can be reduced by UMPS, and the query coverage range is retained at the same time, and more unwanted messages can be reduced if a peer has larger degree, therefore load balancing is achieved also.

Abstract: Computer networks are a crucial part of organizations. It is one of the fastest growing technological areas and brings benefits virtually to every country in the world. With the interconnection of network to the Internet, the world has truly become a global village where we depend more, on digital materials. So in the present century all digital works need protection because they can be easily copied. For that reason DRM technology has taken place, which is not a single technology or not a single philosophy. It refers to a broad range of technologies and standards. DRM is neither thin nor thick copy right. DRM is potentially a planned technique for absolute protection of works. Thus the present article is intended to highlight few technological aspects of DRM which are essential in the library profession. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1076 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: User is the key person in any library. The success of any library depends considerably on how best the system design is based on a close and accurate understanding of the users. The user is not only the important aspect but is also paradoxically a dynamic component of the library. The internet is a highly complex network that interconnects millions of computers around the world. In a medical college hospital campus, all the doctors and students are not able to come to the library to search the library resources, which are available; it may be print materials or online materials or non book materials. So, it is necessary to design/develop their own Intranet microsite or Campus network of the library, which could be connected to the LAN (Local Area Network) and make available to all the network computer terminals of the campus/hospital; this microsite should deliver/give all the facilities available in their library. The Manipal University Health Sciences Library also developed/designed and made access of library microsite for their users. Our study showed that 96.7% of respondents have awareness of Microsite developed by the library; 66.7% of the respondents were accessing the Internet resources through the library microsite and they are satisfied with the library resources.

See how a small donation can make a big difference for women battling breast cancer.
There are big ways to give back and there are small ways to make a difference.
In tonight's Buddy Check report we have the story of a member of our own 7&4 family who recently experienced a painful loss, but is using the opportunity to help others.
There's a special bond between mothers and daughters.
Jill Saarela says, "We were always very very close. She was so much more of a friend than a mother to me."
Close in spirit, even if they couldn't always be close by, like when Jill's mother Doris learned she had cancer last year.
Jill says, "I think one of the worst feelings was that I wasn't close to her and couldn't be there."
But Jill was able to be there during her mother's final days, when after a brave fight, Doris lost her battle with cancer.
Then Jill faced a new challenge, but inspired by a Buddy Check Report, realized some new possibilities.
"What can we do with some of her things? Somebody certainly has to use them like that woman who was in that piece we aired."
For example, a very nice wig. Many women lose their hair during treatment. And something as simple as a wig can make a big difference in appearance and attitude.
Jill says, "I think it was real important. I think every woman has a level of vanity and I think for her it was real important."
"I think it's a cruel thing age does to us, is the age the outside of our bodies, but our heart remains so young."
Cosmetologist Judy Blandin says, "When they put on a wig they feel like they don't even have cancer."
And Blandin knows first hand. She is a breast cancer survivor and now a volunteer with the American Cancer Society's Look Good Feel Better Program.
Judy says, "Some days you don't even feel like going outside and you can just put that wig on and you feel like a million dollars."
But those wigs can be expensive. And not everyone can afford one. But the American Cancer Society helps both people like Jill who want to donate a wig, and those who need one.
"It makes me feel good; I think it would make her feel good."
And Judy helps the patient polish her new look and outlook.
Judy says, "It's nice to see the transition when they come in crying and upset and smooth them down and they're just flying out the door. They're just floating on air. No one knows they have cancer, and they don't need to know."
This is just part of what the Look Good Feel Better Program does, it also helps cancer patients with make up and skin care tailored to their individual needs as they are going through treatment.

If you are going cancer treatment and need a wig, or if you have one you'd like to donate contact your local American Cancer Society office.

Strategery in Brussels
In perhaps the clearest signal yet that a dramatic change in the composition of the European Union may soon be afoot, word comes that Brussels is now broadcasting a bold, new communiqué to the rest of the globe: We Want You! (to join the European Union). Whether it is Greece, Spain or any other EU member nation who, when faced with the choice of default or austerity, may eventually choose sovereign default and an exit from the EU rather than embrace what some say are the draconian and counter-productive fiscal policies demanded of them, regional decision-makers are brainstorming spot-on strategies to counterbalance the potential economic and social shocks which may result.

New Orleans - Professional Aeronautics
"Take off" on your first step to becoming a pilot
The Associate of Science in Professional Aeronautics program at Herzing University can be your first step toward an exciting career as a commercial pilot.
Pilots do more than just transport passengers and cargo. They dust crops, spread seed for reforestation, test aircraft, direct firefighting efforts, track criminals, and monitor traffic as well as rescue and evacuate injured people. They also have non-flying responsibilities that include:
- Handling customer service for passengers
- Loading the aircraft to ensure a balanced load
- Supervising refueling
- Recordkeeping
- Scheduling flights
To be licensed to fly by the FAA requires a minimum of 250 hours of flying. To build up their flying hours while earning money, many beginning pilots start out as flight instructors (after getting the Flight Instructor Certification). They teach in classrooms using simulators and in dual-controlled planes and helicopters. Some may be specially trained as examiners or check pilots who fly with other pilots or applicants to judge their capabilities.
Growing career field for those who have what it takes.
Although flying does not involve much physical effort, the mental stress of being responsible for a safe flight, regardless of the weather, can be tiring. Most pilots have variable work schedules, working several days on, then several days off. Airlines operate flights at all hours of the day and night, so work schedules often are irregular.
A career as a commercial pilot could be right for you if you:
- Work well under pressure
- Think logically
- Are very methodical and precise
- Are fascinated with the science of flight
- Enjoy learning about weather and meteorology
- Are comfortable with using high-tech equipment
- Are good at following directions and are detailed oriented
- Can work effectively as part of a team
- Enjoy traveling

Some 6.8 million college students will graduate in China this summer, an exhilarating time for students and their families alike.
I know the feeling: Michelle, my 21-year-old daughter, has just graduated from college too.
When I got my history diploma at Peking University in 1981, the only memorable ceremony we had was a group photo with fellow history majors and our teachers.
Over the years, graduations from Chinese universities have become elaborate affairs with students dressed in black gowns strutting the red carpet at formal ceremonies, before posing for the obligatory group pictures.
This year, some students are breaking with convention -- striving to project their individuality, exercise free speech or simply to be a bit naughty and different.
Several photos recently posted on Chinese micro-blogging sites show graduates illustrate this. One particularly eye-catching example shows advertising majors at Jinan University in Guangzhou standing in front of a banner which reads "Jinan University Advertising Department, you f***ed my youth!" Each graduate also holds a printout expressing his or her personal wish, such as finding a wealthy wife.
The picture predictably attracted a huge response.
"It is innovation," gushed one micro-blogger. "It is freedom."
"What a great campaign by ad majors," enthused Bill Bishop, an independent media consultant in Beijing. "Any ad agency would be lucky to have young folks who can create such a stir online so quickly."
Not everyone is impressed.
"Now the graduation photos of college students excessively pursue unconventional and new things in order to be different," said blogger Liang Mutian. "It's a bit too much!"
Chinese writer and cultural critic Liu Yang agreed. "If I hire people, I wouldn't hire any students from this university and would put this university on the blacklist."
But Liu's comments also came under fire.
"Why not look at the question with a more relaxed perspective?" asked one netizen known as Luzhou Gudao. "Maybe this last craziness will become the students' precious memories."
Another, called Jellyhahaha, wrote: "Come on, put me on the blacklist too. This picture shows the spirit of fighting for freedom in this so-called 'harmonious country.' I think the future of China can be even better if it is determined by these graduates instead of those treacherous fakers."
For some observers, the whole debate is about China's generation gap.
The older generation grew up experiencing the poverty and chaos of the Cultural Revolution. Governed by rigid rules and puritan conventions, they typically followed rules, or at least feigned compliance.
Three decades of economic reform and the "open-door" policy have brought higher living standards, a modern lifestyle and more freedom.
Traditional Chinese reticence is disappearing as a result.
Meanwhile, only children dominate the current generation of young Chinese -- a legacy of China's one-child policy, instituted in 1978.
They belong to a generation for whom prosperity and personal freedom are more the norm, rather the exception. China's opening to the outside world has made them better informed, extremely curious and adventurous.
Most of this year's graduating class belongs to the "jiu ling hou," or post-90s generation. Critics stereotype them as self-centered, naïve, spoiled and rebellious. They are also labeled as lazy, promiscuous and confused.
But others describe them as intelligent, innovative, curious and tech-savvy.
"These are misconceptions and sweeping over-generalizations," Zhao Ding, a 26-year-old white collar worker in Beijing. "We are different but we are maturing."
A survey conducted by the Horizon Research Group, a Beijing-based independent research firm, found that among 2,099 university and middle school students sampled from China's five largest cities, urban Chinese born in the 1990s have more disposable money and greater say in family spending.

Weekly MMO news round-up: Formula One MMO, SWTOR dev diary, loads of WoW stuff
E3 is almost upon us so there is bound to be some new MMO announced or a bit of decent enough MMO news coming out of the event by this time next week, so expect this post to either be thicker – or thinner. Depends on how huge the news was to begin with when it hits.
This week, there is more of the usual. Screens, dev diaries, class changes, new quests being added. World of Warcraft had the most bit of news though, and even if it wasn't earth-shattering, it was still a bunch.
Read on after the break for your fix.

The Spam Cube is a piece of anti-spam hardware which is being launched through Amazon in the UK, designed to sit between a broadband modem and your PC/laptop, scanning incoming email for unwanted messages.
This hardware will retail at around £100, but the real question is why internet users should have to pay for hardware to deal with this problem. Isn't this a problem which could be dealt with some other way? You know, ISPs, that sort of thing...?

PAR AND YARDAGE – Royal County Down will be set up at 7,181 yards with a par of 35-36-71
GOLF COURSE ARCHITECT – Old Tom Morris is credited with the original routing in 1889, which was possibly the first course to ignore the then traditional layout of nine holes "out" and nine holes "back." Royal County Down was opened for play in 1891. Many revisions were made, including some by club professional Seymour Dunn (1904) and by famed golfer Harry Vardon. Others who had a hand in evolving changes to the course were George Combe and Harry Colt, all in the first three decades of the 1900s. The last of the modifications was in 2005 when Donald Steel tinkered with the 16th hole.
ROYALTY – In 1908, King Edward VII conferred "Royal" status to the Club.
WHAT IS THE WALKER CUP MATCH? – The Walker Cup Match is contested by male amateur players, one team from the United States and one team from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The teams consist of not more than 10 players and a captain. The Match is conducted every two years, alternately in the U.S. and Great Britain/Ireland.
SCHEDULE OF PLAY – On Saturday, Sept. 8, and Sunday, Sept. 9, there will be four foursomes matches (18 holes each) each morning and eight singles matches (18 holes each) each afternoon.
Starting Times – (local GMT) Saturday: 8:30 a.m. for foursomes, 1 p.m. for singles Sunday: 8:30 a.m. for foursomes, 1 p.m. for singles
TICKETS – Daily grounds tickets are 25 pounds apiece. While a limited number are available, they can be purchased online at www.randa.org. Junior (age 16 and under) are 10 pounds apiece.

U of M radio station celebrates college radio day | Arts & Culture
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Wednesday was College Radio Day and schools across the nation hosted events to raise awareness and hopefully reach new listeners.
And Memphis' own WUMR, U-92 FM "The Jazz Lover" is participated as well. The station broadcasted live from The University of Memphis Campus from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The special broadcast was held in the College of Communications and Fine Arts Plaza, which is the space between the Theatre and Music building.
This is the second year WUMR has participated in College Radio Day. And Christopher Davis, Program Director for WUMR says this year was not simply about the music – it was about sending an important message.
The station chose to celebrate college day by alerting people to the dangers of texting while driving. They had a mangled car on display and talked about the dangers of texting while driving. "The Jazz Lover" crew encouraged passersby to sign an online pledge against texting while driving.
WUMR is the only jazz radio station in Memphis, and Davis said having the car at the event caused people to stop and take a second look - or should I say listen.
During the broadcast the man in the picture above (the one standing in the middle, wearing a U of M sweater) actually came up to the table, and told the WUMR crew he was hit by a driver who was texting on the road last year. The man says he was driving to The University when the crash happened. His car was totaled, and he ended up with a cracked spine in addition to other injuries.
According to Davis, doing live remotes on campus is generally a great way to interact with students. And some of them might not have been interested in jazz previously.
"They hear the music, and really it helps us to connect to the campus more because when you tell a typical student that we are a jazz station, they tend to think of it as old people's music, but when they actually get to hear it in person, they get a different opinion of it," said Davis.
Another reason stations are participating in college radio day is to celebrate their independence. College radio stations don't have the same financial limitations as commercial radio stations. Therefore, this means they have freedom to play what they want to play.
And Davis said this means some artists that would never be heard get a chance to have their music played on-air.
Overall, the day was considered to be a success, and Davis said the station plans on doing it again next year.

For a while now i have contemplated building a Berlin city board for 28mm WW2 and Secrets of the Third Reich, and after seeing The HO scale buildings from FALLER
So I decided to copy them, (Shamelessly steal)
WIP Building 1 (Corner)
In the last image, the vertical grey line down the plain brick wall is where the building breaks into 2 parts revealing a playable interior with removable floors.
I still have to add the basic structure - a column of balconies up one side and a column of bay windows up another, then the interior and exterior needs detailing with interior walls and staircases, loads more to do!
C and C welcome and feel free to ask anything regarding this project.

Sam Lamiroy
Sam belongs to: Tynemouth Surfers
Sam grew up in Tynemouth where he began surfing. He has gone on to become one of Britain's top surfers. He competes in competitions around the world.
Sam was interviewed by Carl Greenwood on 15 October 2005. The interview took place at Tynemouth Beach and lasted 9 minutes and 55 seconds.
Environmental conditions in the North East
"Its got a lot better, it used to be awful"
Its got a lot better, it used to be awful. I mean, we used to surf in the Black Middens and you could almost guarantee that youd be off school for the next two or three days because youd be ill. You know, youd get sort of stomach upsets, or, I dont know the exact terms of the kinds of ailments that we got but there were some serious things floating around that river, and youd see, youd see kind of sanitary towels and all sorts going past you, but now, and thats why I guess there was no salmon in the river for a few years. You know, there was a huge outcry about ten years ago that a river which used to be overflowing with salmon was now absolutely devoid of any, but now in recent times the salmon have returned, the waters got a bit cleaner again.
Sam has 9 memories in the memorynet:

Comments about Razor Powerwing Caster Scooter:
It was quick and easy coming in the day I did. I knew what I wanted to get him and it was right where I expected it to be. And on clearance to boot. My 9 year old grandson was always using the neighbor's so for his birthday, that is what he got and he loved it. Colors were great too.

Got as a gift for my grandson. It was easy to put together and he had a ball riding it!
My grandson loved it
from New Hampshire
My oldest grandson 9 yrs old, has this scooter and now his 5 year old brother wanted one. He was thrilled when he opened the box. Was also easy to put together. Upset to see that it appeared that the scooter had already been used but my grandson did not want me to return it. Was dirty and had some bents and scratches.

Lots of Fun!
By Gail Mom of Two
from Kaukauna, WI
My 9 year old son got one of these for Christmas and both he and his 11 year old sister love it. They do lots of tricks on it and it performs great tight circles. They liked it so much we bought this one for their cousin's 9th birthday. I would recommend a helmet for first time riders. It doesn't go fast but does turn quickly.

Bought this for our 5 year old son. He loves riding it and so does our two daughters, 8 & 10. Best used on a level surface.

Trapper was a golden retriever known for his loyalty, devoted service, love of great food and willingness to do anything for his best friend, Greg. Dogs are perhaps some of the best teachers, especially good ones like Trapper. This restaurant named in Trapper's honor, is dedicated to all of the same ideals. Our goal is to provide you with the best service, highest quality fresh ingredients and a warm comfortable atmosphere where you can relax with good friends.
Trapper's Pizza Pub, est. 2001, has been such a phenomenal experience for the staff and the community, that in 2010 we built Trapper's II in Minoa. This restaurant offers the same great food, good beer and amazing atmosphere as the original Trapper's Pizza Pub. We then built Stinger's Pizza Pub, named for the FM Hornets, in 2011 to honor not only the original ideals of "Trappers," but also to serve the Fayetteville Manlius community. In 2013 we opened The Wildcat in Camillus, expanding into the western suburbs.
We appreciate all of the support from our dedicated customers, friends and family.

CROSSVILLE — The City of Crossville recently lent a helping hand in making repairs on the weir at the Marina after many years of erosion on a twelve inch block wall that was poured with concrete. The City formed a new 27" concrete wall removing one of the old valves stopping a leak losing thousands of gallons of water a day minimizing it to almost zero. The POA would like to thank the City for all of their help with getting this fixed.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Hydropower Country Notes
Namibia's only perennial rivers are the Kunene and Kavango (forming borders with Angola and Zambia in the north) and the Orange River bordering South Africa in the south. The Namibian WEC Member Committee notes that any plans to develop hydro power are thus subject to lengthy bilateral negotiations. Another problem leading to limited exploitation of hydro resources is the scarcity of rain and the extensive droughts.
Little has been done in Namibia with regard to the development of small hydro power plants. Small hydro potential can be found mostly on the Kavango and Orange Rivers, since the Kunene is situated in a remote area. The waters of the Orange River are dedicated to irrigation projects and mining activities.

May and early June's rain-soaked weather kept us from unpacking our shorts until last week, but the recent arrival of—hey!—actual warm temperatures means that the city now is patio partying with abandon. Five new rooftops debuted this season to satisfy sun-seeking revelers, and with drinks in hand and eyes on the city views, there's no reason not to stay to see the stars come out. RedEye staffers braved afternoon rays and high-decibel techno beats to bring you the lowdown on these high-up hot spots.
820 W. Randolph St. 312-888-3455
It's a little bit of an adventure to get to the rooftop at Stephanie Izard's diner. First, head past the main corner entrance and instead use the door marked Little Goat Bread, but instead of ordering coffee from the barista, head up the stairs directly to your right. When you find yourself in a big empty room (a classroom/private party space), keep walking toward the windows. When you see the gray fabric-covered couches, bright orange chairs, evergreen shrubs and flower-filled planters, you're in the right place. On weekdays, the roof's open for lunchers who want to bring up their sandwich from Little Goat Bread downstairs, but on weekends, it shifts to a more lounge-like vibe with table service and an outdoor bar.
Height: 2nd floor
Views: To the east, the downtown skyline looms; to the south, you can see all the way to UIC's University Hall. To the west, it's all about the gigantic spinning goat sign that marks the entrance to Little Goat Diner below.
Sights: Industry types from nearby Randolph Street spots—Hey, is that Haymarket's brewmaster, Pete Crowley?—gathered by the bar while 20-something and middle-aged couples showed off their al fresco fashions, from designer sunglasses to red suede loafers. Everyone's nursing summery cocktails such as the scrumptious strawberry-rhubarb gin fizz (pictured) or the Fool's Russian, an herbal, cucumber-y vodka cooler (both $10).
Sounds: The same varied soundtrack as downstairs—think Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al" one minute, Kanye's "Gold Digger" the next—plays up here, but no so loudly that we couldn't hear our table neighbor lamenting that her mezcal cocktail tasted like leather.
Safeguards: Without umbrellas or overhangs, this is a sunny day hangout; however, even if the weather's picture-perfect, it's smart to check the web site before visiting because the rooftop will be closed when Little Goat's adjacent private party space is rented out. Just log onto littlegoatchicago.com and look for the blue bird with a speech bubble noting whether or not the roof's open.
Bottom line: Prettier than the deck at Bottom Lounge and more low-key than the top floor at Market, Little Goat's open-air perch is a welcome addition to the West Loop's small rooftop bar scene. –Lisa Arnett
160 E. Pearson St. 312-573-5160
You'll have to cross The Ritz-Carlton's lobby, take the elevator and walk through Deca restaurant to arrive at this picturesque outdoor lounge, which opened in late May. Thankfully, the 5-minute journey from street level ends at a terrace tastefully populated by elegant wicker furniture, marble accents and bright red chair cushions.
Height: 12th floor
Views: Much of The Dec is surrounded by a wave-shaped, glittering glass wall—presumably for safety's sake—but that doesn't block a close-up view of Chicago's second-tallest building, The John Hancock Center, as well as a few high-rises. Try to nab a seat at the couches surrounding the silver eye-shaped sculpture called The Lenz to see the city lights reflected in its surface.
Sights: Polished servers float by with trays of cocktails—some in shiny silver and copper cups—bound for the well-dressed clients you'd expect at The Ritz. I sipped my $14 cocktail slowly to make it last and toasted my wise decision to wear silk pants instead of jeans.
Sounds: According to my server, one especially fussy owner of a building near The Dec is to blame for the lack of outdoor music. The quiet lends the patio some tranquillity, but it also feels like you've arrived too early to a party. Luckily, the overheard chatter that floated my way—from stories about Botox to a conversation entirely in French—were thoroughly entertaining.
Safeguards: Two cabana-like structures outfitted with partial roofs and heaters would protect against surprise sprinkles and brisk evenings, but this definitely is a rooftop made for sunshine and warm nights.
Bottom line: The Dec's easy-to-drink cocktails, professional servers and photo-worthy surroundings put me in staycation mode in no time. The lack of tunes plus a decent showing of hotel guests—think 40-somethings with money—keep the vibe relaxed, not rocking. –Kate Bernot
149 W. Kinzie St. 773-348-8899
Heave open the heavy ship cabin-like door and you'll find yourself on the main floor of this nautically inclined sports bar that also has locations in Lincoln Park and Wrigleyville. Upstairs, the sun shines through the 75-foot retractable glass roof that can be cracked open ever-so-slightly for a breeze or completely wide open when it's warm enough outside. Because the bar opened in November, this is the first summer it's in full swing.
Height: 2nd floor
Views: It feels a little boxed in with luxury high-rise apartments to the north and west, an office building to the south and a windowless wall to the east. A patch of sky is directly above.
Sights: The bar reportedly nets the biggest crowds during major sports games—there are about a bazillion TVs—but you wouldn't know that from the smaller crowd of craft beer-sippers that I shared the space with during a Friday happy hour. Barleycorn's Wrigleyville location is known for a crowd that skews douchey, but the second floor was more like empty when I returned on a recent Saturday afternoon.
Sounds: Pop music such as Maroon 5 plays over the chatter of the after-work crowd. On my weekend visit, the music was so quiet I could hear a barking dog, the train rumbling by and the sound of myself munching on the garnishes (beef jerky, cheese, olives and a pickle) from my bloody mary ($11, pictured) over the tunes.
Safeguards: The roof's fully retractable, so problem solved if it's cold or rainy.
Bottom line: This was a surprisingly laid-back sports bar experience with a dose of fresh air. Think John Barleycorn Wrigleyville minus the ceiling—and the sloppy Cubs fans. –Leonor Vivanco
15 W Illinois St. 312-239-0995
Height: Second floor
Views: Low-rise apartment buildings from the window, high-rises outside the retractable roof. It's a nice view if you're looking up, not so much if you're gazing across the street. But don't worry, there's plenty to see inside the bar.
Sights: Maxi dresses, sunglasses and muscle tees as far as the eye can see. The River North brunch crowd was still going strong at 3 p.m. on a Sunday, with girls perched on the backs of booths and dudes showing off their best dance moves that oh-so casually incorporated muscle flexing. Tables featured enormous, empty punch bowls, but with no punch on the menu I can only assume they function as massive spittoons. (I later found out that punch service is offered during the bar's Sunday Beach Brunch, which launched earlier this month.) I ordered a gin/orange juice/thyme concoction called You'll Thank Me Later ($12, pictured), which tasted like the kind of OJ your babysitter made from concentrate paired with enough Bombay to burn down a house. The best part of this drink was picking tiny thyme leaves out of my mouth after they escaped their wilted twig. I will not be thanking anyone for this drink later.
Sounds: Blaring techno with a large side of bass, thanks to a massive DJ booth on one side of the room. This is the kind of place where I'd love to eavesdrop, but it was hard enough just shouting into my server's ear to order. If flirty gazes are your favored seduction tactic, this is your hangout, but forget trying to have a casual conversation.
Safeguards: The enormous retractable roof need only slide back into place for the party to continue in the event of inclement weather.
Bottom line: Every person on American Junkie's staff, from the guys greeting us at the door to the server wearing what can only be described as a breast bondage obstacle course (did she really wear that on her way to work?), was extremely friendly and welcoming. If you aren't ready to give up on last night's party just yet, American Junkie is the perfect dance-daytime spot for you—just don't order anything with a branch in it. –Dana Moran
940 W. Weed St. 312-337-3486
Stand in line to get your ID checked alongside sports fans or country music concert ticket holders (depending on the night), but then bypass the main door and instead head up the outdoor staircase leading to the month-old rooftop deck strung with criss-crossing globe lights. It's directly above the beaming OTB sign that indicates that Joe's is also home to Trackside Off-Track Betting, which explains the occasional bleary-eyed career gambler clad in a sweatsuit and house slippers lingering out front.
Height: 2nd floor
Views: The front of the rooftop has a front-row view to the empty lot of dirt where the buildings that housed Weed Street hangouts such as Hogs & Honeys and Sangria once stood. Beyond that, there's a decent skyline view; though part of it's blocked by those gigantic SoNo apartment towers, I could still see the Willis Tower antennae lights blinking in the distance.
Sights: I expected to find the roof shoulder-to-shoulder at sunset on a Friday night, but instead I found myself in the company of a dozen or so plaid-clad guys and denim jacket-wearing ladies killing time before a country concert downstairs. A bartender in a neon pink hoodie told me that they don't have any of the draft beers listed on the menu and the bottles are spotty, so I stuck to the cocktail list. It smells like buffalo sauce and cologne up here.
Sounds: The loudest point of the night was when a group of partiers shouted "Surprise!" after the arrival of a birthday party guest of honor. As I sipped my American Honey cocktail, a ginger ale-lemonade mix spiked with tea- and honey-flavored whiskey ($6.50, pictured), I heard the twangy lyrics, "My whiskey-drinking days are gone," floating from a speaker piping in music from the concert downstairs. Not so, dude, not so.
Safeguards: Three heaters stand at the ready for chilly nights and the outdoor bar's overhang provides shelter for anyone bellied up to the bar, but most of the roof is exposed to the elements.
Bottom line: I never imagined I'd use the words "Joe's Bar" and "sanctuary" in the same sentence, but this rooftop made for a surprisingly relaxing place to kick back and enjoy the gorgeous weather.

Some of the vice president's bubbles are always a lighthearted.
And some of them have made a real mess for this administration.
Most notably most recently -- the vice president decided to lead from the front and say it was absolutely comparable with gay marriage.
When the president at that point certainly was not.
Now there are signs that voters are simply hiring.

Just about a hundred.
Electoral votes to win the presidency he is projected right now with 172.

Biden's favorability numbers by the way put him way behind the two most recent vice president.

I am interested in purchasing the 822 (or HTC 8X) for use on t-mobile or AT&T in U.S.
Any suggestions? I know you can buy and the GSM radio is unlocked but wanted to know if there are any issues. Thanks in advance.Last edited by kj_wp; 12-24-2012 at 02:40 PM. Reason: typo
It should work since its a global phone.
Nokia Lumia 822 Specifications - Nokia - USA
If you look under the hardware tab, you can see the GSM support, CDMA2000 support, WCDMA support (HSPA+ essentially), and LTE 700 support. If you buy an international plan from VZW and use it over in Europe or wherever, the phone will work.
Texting likely has to do with the carrier in some way, but if you put a TMobile or ATT SIM card in the phone, it should work on their network. - 12-27-2012, 02:35 PM #9
I bought a new Verizon Nokia Lumia 822 from eBay. The seller did not unlock it. I am currently using an Samsung Focus on AT&T. I put my AT&T SIM card into the Lumia 822 and it picked up the AT&T network. I was able to make a phone call and send a text message with no problems. It looks like the 822 is SIM unlocked. Did not try a data connection as I do not have a data plan with AT&T.
I have this exact same issue of not being able to send SMS messages on T-Mobile with the Lumia 822. It says it can't send the SMS message and gives an SMS error: 1
Any one on T-Mobile get this working? Calls and receiving SMS messages work but not being able to send SMS messages is a deal-breaker! - 02-11-2013, 05:44 PM #17
I threw my iPhone 4s' SIM card in my Lumia 822 and it immediately popped up with AT&T. I was able to make a call and receive calls and even send and receive texts! The bad part is...and here is my question within...but when I turned off WIFI, my data didn't work. Would I have to call AT&T? When I logged in to my AT&T account online it did note that I have a "DataPlus for iPhone 4s" plan. Would that prevent me from using data on another device with this SIM card?
Verizon sells its phones with GSM part unlocked. This was part of the agreement with FCC duing the 700 MHz A Band spectrum auctions, I believe. For those who canot send SMS on T Mobile, you may have to set up your SMS Center manually under Messaging>Settings>SMS Center Number (+12063130004 ?? flying blind here..never held an 822 in hand, no first hand knowledge of T mobile SMSC number, this is based on my AT&T NL 920)
The SMS center number is automatically entered in on the 822 for T-Mobile and I've verified that it's correct but that doesn't correct the issue of not being able to send out SMS messages (+12063130004 is the automatic SMS Center Number according to T-Mobile and it's the same that's automatically entered with the SIM).
Im also going to try a tmobile sim in my verizon 822 and im not worried about texting since i can download a app to text using data....my question is will it work with internet and calling...i bought a straight talk sim and a $45 plan and the APN settings for internet would not work neither texting but calling did....so i wasted my money....straight talk did not have a solution.. so if i go with tmobile please can someone tell me that the APN data settings will work with it so i can use the internet....PLEASE SAY YES im scared to lose anymore money on this
My brother just took his Nokia to T-Mo. According to him he went to wireless settings and changed it to the GSM option and then selected any update buttons that showed up and he has full data, voice, and text. Hope this helps anyone. I may be switching myself to save money since my wife is now unemployed.
