HEALTHY LIVING: LEED's downplaying of human health should be corrected as the gold standard for sustainable design becomes more accepted, environmental health scientists say in a new report.

The gold standard for certifying "green" buildings fails to place enough emphasis on human health and needs to be upgraded, according to a new report from an environmental health group.
The standard - Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED - is weighted more heavily toward energy conservation and not enough toward health protection, skewing green-design criteria, concluded Environmental and Human Health, Inc., a Connecticut-based nonprofit dedicated to protecting human health from environmental harms.
"They have to be given great credit for work on energy conservation. And there clearly are environmental quality and health benefits that will accrue from conservation efforts," said John Wargo, professor of risk analysis and environmental policy at Yale University and a lead author of the report, released in May.
"But (LEED) has got some serious problems with respect to environmental quality and human health."
The LEED system provides third-party verification that a building or community is built according to several metrics aimed at promoting sustainability: Energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.
Municipalities and states increasingly are incorporating LEED criteria into their local building codes; the standard is gaining traction oversees.
The nonprofit U.S. Green Building Council, which administers LEED, acknowledged gaps in the standard and welcomed both collaboration and improvement. But it warned that the health report missed or understated fundamental aspects of the program's efforts to improve human health and the environment.
In their report, the Environment and Human Health scientists point to several blind spots in what is often seen as the "gold standard" for sustainable design.
For starters, increasing evidence suggests several compounds commonly found in homes and building products harm human health and the environment, including bisphenol-A, polyvinyl chloride, plastic additives know as phthalates and many of the chemicals found in rubber infill used in artificial turf. LEED neither restricts the use of these chemicals in building materials nor awards credits for projects that avoid these projects, the report's authors noted.
And while LEED encourages reduced water use and conservation of energy necessary to acquire, distribute and sanitize it, the protocol offers no credit for drinking water quality and establishes no goals for testing or filtration.
Yet criticism that LEED fails to protect human health misses the mark, countered Brendan Owens, vice president of LEED technical development for the Green Building Council. The Environmental and Human Health report, he said, discounts health benefits that accrue from reductions in energy and water use or from LEED's emphasis on integrative design, where builders must consider a number of disparate elements in concert rather than independently.
"When you reduce the amount of electricity being pulled off the grid, you're reducing the amount of coal being burned and reducing the amount of mercury being burned," he said. "There's a direct result to human health."
Some designers caution that LEED is simply a tool. It has, they note, pushed the building industry in important directions and raises the bar for designers and builders.
"As in any tool, it can be used poorly and for the wrong reasons, or correctly and for the right reasons," said Gunnar Hubbard, principal at Fore Solutions in Portland, Maine, one of the nation's leading green-design consulting firms. "As we learn, LEED is intended to work with that knowledge."
But others on the green building frontier say LEED is part of a larger and more intractable problem: The American lifestyle as a whole is unsustainable. Building large green houses in the suburbs - even if the homes themselves are energy-sipping, chemical-free and LEED-certified - is by no means environmentally benign.
"LEED is not going to save us. It's good. It's better if that guy who's walking to work, instead of living in an inefficient old house, lives in a small and efficient house," said Florian Maurer of Allen+Maurer Architects in British Columbia.

It appears, fear of loss translates most frequently into greed but the self-centeredness appears to boil from deep inside. Even, when not straight stated, it's obvious in how their principles lack respect or care for these much less fortunate than they. And like most unbalances, they appear to be wholly unaware of their situation, even to the point of incessant denial. In the mayhem of shock, titillation and entertainment fanfare, we seem to have lost our moral compass. Violence is applauded, and sex, an act meant for committed adults capable of shouldering the responsibilities of household, is presented as mere thrill-ride recreation for men and women of all ages.
If the above points are accurate, and I believe they undoubtedly are, then on leading of this foundation you can erect different pillars of policy relating to; economics, social solutions, overall health care, immigration, the military, fighting Islam and border manage. It sets the legally binding precedence of the Constitution. Any individual know what that indicates? They swore an oath to do so, and to fail to do so is a violation of their oaths as effectively illegal. Ahead of conservatives and republicans can turn into the political force they require to be, they have to alter the take on who they are perceived to be.
Study it over once more. Read it gradually. Will open and cost-free sex with no regard for age, gender or what ever generate a better society? Will the celebration of crime, filthy language, disrespect for parents and authority, sexism, racism, ageism and the like develop a much better society? If the government does not properly intercede, then considering people need to use their dollars as decency tools. The Iranian Islamic Revolution and the real beginnings of this worldwide Islamic fundamentalist primacy have been one particular of the very first outcomes from a wishy-washy foreign policy, some thing the president is constitutionally charged to direct. And here's the eerie part – Reaganism and the neo-con revolution came into being due to disaffected Democrats asking themselves "Why did the Democrat Party abandon us?" The answer to their question is they discovered that the radicals from the 60′s and 70′s finally grasped enough power within the Party to affect policy, just like today, and in so doing put off the mainstream Democrat, thus leading to the supremacy of Conservatism.
Most of those who are known as conservatives nowadays profess an ideology of an interventionist foreign policy, a policy of a bloated federal government and even sometimes a practically theocratic view of individual rights and individual privacy.
But conservatism has not constantly been like this. As late as the 1960s, conservatism meant anything totally different. The movement was lead by the late senate Republican leader Robert Taft from the end of the Second Planet War and into the 1950s.Taft was what is now could be known as an Old Proper, standard conservative. The alpha wolf decides what is right in the pack since it possesses the physical power to exert its will. A tree may possibly dictate what is correct by exuding toxic chemical substances into the soil out to its root perimeter in order to extinguish competing plants.
Partisanship is the standard state of becoming in American politics.

The first commercial crude oil discovered in Iran was at Masjid-i-Sulaiman in 1908. Further exploration in the next two decades resulted in the discovery of a number of major oil fields, including Agha Jari and Gach Saran. Fields such as these confirmed Iran in its role as a global player in the oil industry.
After many years as a major oil producer, the country's oil resources are still enormous: proved reserves, as reported for the present Survey by the Iranian WEC Member Committee, comprise 101.19 billion barrels of crude oil plus 36.30 billion barrels of NGLs. The total reported reserves of 137.49 billion barrels are almost identical to those quoted by BP and close to those given by other standard published sources (131.50-136.27). Approximately 11.5% of the proved reserves of crude and 54% of the NGLs are located offshore.
Iran was a founder member of OPEC in 1960. In 2005, about 60% of Iran's crude oil output of 3.9 million b/d was exported, mostly to Europe and Asia.

Adrian Peterson's MVP season looks a bit more incredible now that the abdominal injury he played through in December proved serious enough to require surgery.
The Vikings released this statement this morning: Adrian Peterson had a surgical procedure done today by Dr. William Meyers, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dr. Meyers was able to successfully repair Adrian's abdominal core muscle injury (sports hernia). We expect a speedy recovery with no long-term concerns.
Peterson rushed for 2,097 yards last season, eight short of the NFL record set by Eric Dickerson (2,105 in 1984). He was named the league's MVP on Saturday night in New Orleans, slightly more than a year after having major surgery on his left knee. Peterson was also named the league's offensive player of the year, and was first-team All-Pro.
And ... he played in the Pro Bowl in Hawaii on Jan. 27, although sparingly.
Now, it turns out, Peterson may have been pushing through severe pain for the Vikings' final six regular season games. In an interview Thursday afternoon with ESPN's Josina Anderson, Peterson said he suffered the sports hernia injury some time during the Vikings' 34-24 home win over the Lions on Nov. 11.
"I didn't know the extent I was hurt then," Peterson told ESPN. "I just remember getting twisted up pretty bad in an awkward position. ... "That next day I felt very uncomfortable in my groin and abdominal area. I thought to myself I'll just wait until I recover but I never did."
The Vikings played it safe with Peterson down the stretch of the season, repeatedly holding him out of practice in December and tailoring their approach so that he'd be as healthy as possible for game days.
"I knew I wasn't really practicing at all," Peterson said Thursday. "I wasn't able to lift because of the strain that it would put on those muscles on an upper- or lower-body workout. That was too much. It was mind over matter. It was just about doing what I had to do to push myself every week. My body was sore from the game and the sports hernia every Monday, so I did what I had to do to recover and get my body right.
"I just played through the pain. I ran on adrenaline."
Leading up to the Vikings' 36-22 victory in St. Louis on Dec. 16 -- a game in which Peterson ran for 212 yards -- he went on the injury report with what was being labeled an abdominal injury. Following his explosion against the Rams, Peterson was then listed as having an abdominal/groin issue which he said was "just normal wear and tear. I've been dealing with it the past couple of weeks. I've been doing the things I need to do as far as resting and conditioning and working out. It's all about that push to Sunday. I'll be ready to roll."
In Week 16, against Houston, Peterson carried 25 times for 86 yards. During that game, he said, the pain from the sports hernia reached its maximum.
"That was probably the worse I felt. That was the first time that I really doubted myself and questioned whether I would be able to continue the season. The pain was a 10 on a scale of 10."
Peterson rebounded in the season finale against Green Bay with 199 yards to challenge Dickerson's record and push the Vikings into the playoffs with a thrilling 37-34 win. The Vikings lost to the Packers on Jan. 5 in the wild-card playoff round 24-10 as Peterson had 99 yards rushing.
Recovery time on sports hernia surgery varies, since the seriousness of the injury varies wildly. But Peterson said his post-operative recovery time would be about 3-4 weeks.
Vikings teammate Geoff Schwartz (@GeoffSchwartz76) tweeted Thursday morning: "It's quite amazing. He's a beast. I made it 3 days in camp w/that injury before I needed surgery."
According to sportsmedicine.about.com: The typical sports hernia occurs when the muscle layer of abdominal wall in one specific area becomes thin relative to the other areas. This may result in a tear or strain in one of the abdominal muscles or the fascia of the abdominal wall. When that happens, the underlying internal organs, particularly the intestines, push up against the muscular wall and can cause significant pain. A sports hernia rarely causes any visible bulge in the muscle wall, so it is often overlooked for some time before it is diagnosed. The most common symptom of a sports hernia is a dull, aching pain in the lower abdomen or groin that gradually increases in severity. This pain generally increases with exercise or activities such as running or weight lifting.
At least three other Vikings have had surgery in the past couple of weeks. Defensive end Jared Allen had a torn labrum in his left shoulder repaired, punter Chris Kluwe had a meniscus tear in his left (non-kicking) knee fixed and center John Sullivan had a microfracture procedure on his left knee. All of those players played through their injuries this past season, none missing a game.
John Sullivan will sit out the team's June mini-camp because of last week's microfracture surgery on his left knee, but three Vikings team sources said the starting center is expected to be ready when training camp opens in late July.
Sullivan, 27, played every offensive snap during the 2012 season and was listed on the injury report with a knee injury only once, Week 13 against Chicago. But lingering pain in the knee eventually led to Sullivan having the surgery performed last week by renowned sports surgeon Dr. James Andrews in Florida. Andrews also performed the knee surgery that held up well enough for Adrian Peterson to collect 2,097 yards rushing and one NFL MVP trophy in 2012.
The recovery period is three to four months. And, so far at least, the NFL doesn't play games in June. So even factoring in a four-month recovery, Sullivan should be fine for the start of training camp.
Sullivan played well enough in his fifth season to earn first alternate to the Pro Bowl. Several have argued that he deserved to play in the game because one of the NFC centers who went ahead of him was Green Bay's Jeff Saturday, who actually was benched for poor play late in the season. Sullivan also earned seven first-team All-Pro votes, including the one cast here, to finish third in the Associated Press' All-Pro voting.
First, Adrian Peterson runs for 2,097 yards a year after having major knee surgery. Then he does something almost as amazing: Getting 50 reporters from theNFL media world to agree on something.
All 50 members of the Associated Press' All-Pro selection committee, including myself, picked Peterson for their All-Pro team. The only other unanimous All-Pro selection was Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, an NFL Defensive Player of the Year candidate with 20.5 sacks and 16 pass deflections. Lions receiver Calvin Johnson, who had 122 catches for an NFL-record 1,964 yards, fell one vote short of a unanimous selection.
Meanwhile, Vikings rookie kicker Blair Walsh was named to the first team with 42 votes. Vikings fullback Jerome Felton and outside linebacker Chad Greenway were named to the second team.
Felton got 12 votes and finished behind Ravens fullback Vonta Leach, who received 26. Greenway received only two votes, which was enough to earn second team behind first-teamers Von Viller of Denver (48 votes) and Aldon Smith of San Francisco (47). The other second-team outside linebackers -- Green Bay's Clay Matthews, Dallas' DeMarcus Ware and San Francisco's Ahmad Brooks -- each received one vote.
At quarterback, Peyton Manning earned first team with 43 votes. Aaron Rodgers made second team with only four votes. Tom Brady received only three votes.
Vikings center John Sullivan was thought to have a shot at one of the top two teams, but fell short. Seattle's Max Unger made first team with 16 votes, while Pittsburgh's Maurkice Pouncey was second team with 10 votes.
Sullivan received seven votes, which tied him for third. Here's the breakdown of votes by position.
Most NFL players love being picked for the Pro Bowl, but hate actually playing in the Pro Bowl. So alternates tend to have a very good chance of ending up in the game.
The Vikings have three alternates. They are linebacker Chad Greenway, who made his Pro Bowl debut last year; rookie left tackle Matt Kalil; and center John Sullivan, who would be making his first appearance.
Greenway's Pro Bowl debut came when he had 174 tackles a year ago. This year, he's even better with more big plays, not to mention a career-high and team-leading 181 tackles. He'll finish as the team's leading tackler for the fifth straight season, second-longest in team history behind the six straight years that Scott Studwell led the team in tackles.
Kalil has started all 15 games and hasn't had his name mentioned much in a long time. Unlike rookie QBs Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck, not getting noticed sort of defines outstanding play for a rookie left tackle.
If Sullivan gets in, it would be his first Pro Bowl in a five-year career that's saw him go from being a sometimes overmatched smallish late-round draft pick early on to a legitimate long-term answer as Matt Birk's replacement. A Pro Bowl berth for Sullivan also would be a deserving feat considering he's the best and most consistent linemen on a team that has a running back that's 102 yards from becoming the seventh player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards.
Yesterday, it was announced the defensive end Jared Allen, kicker Blair Walsh, fullback Jerome Felton and running back Adrian Peterson had been voted into the Pro Bowl.
Chris Cook is looking for redemption Sunday when the Vikings meet the Packers.
The Vikings' third year cornerback was torched during his rookie season by Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Cook, coming off early season arthroscopic surgery on both knees, was pulled by coach Brad Childress after Rodgers lit up the visiting Vikings for 166 passing yards in the first quarter of a 28-24 victory on Oct. 24, 2010.
Things got worse six weeks later when the Packers beat the Vikings 31-3 at the Metrodome. Cook gave up receptions of 47 and 39 yards to James Jones, and was pulled by Childress after Jones caught a 3-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Cook was yelled at by teammate Ray Edwards on the sideline, and after the game both Cook and cornerback Asher Allen were criticized by teammates.
Childress was fired the next day.
Cook missed both meetings last season after an arrest for domestic assault on the eve of the first Packers game, which he spent in jail. He was inactive for the rest of the season, and missed the Vikings' 23-14 loss to the Packers two weeks ago because of a broken arm.
"I've been looking forward to this game," Cook said. "My rookie year, I was coming off both my knee surgeries, and they were picking on me – a lot. I expected that coming off two knee surgeries. But I don't have knee problems now, so we'll see how it goes this week."
Cook said Rodgers is the best quarterback in the NFL.
"He's Brett Favre-like, but I feel he makes better decisions at times," said Cook. "He's crazy accurate, that's the thing that stands out. He can put balls in places the other guys can't put it in. It's amazing to me to me. Every time I watch him I think, man, this guy, he's great."
Holiday presents
Houston running back Arian Foster bought Segways for his offensive linemen, so the question about what Adrian Peterson will do for his offensive line has been bandied about at Winter Park.
"We'll see how it all plays out, how many yards he gets, when we win the game," said center John Sullivan. "All I'm hoping for is a good performance from him and our offense and our entire team. The playoff berth is all we reaIly care about. I don't really care about presents. I'm not too focused on that right now."
Robison, Winfield ready
Defensive end Brian Robison (sprained shoulder) missed the Vikings' 23-6 victory over the Texans on Sunday, which was doubly troubling to him because he played college football at Texas. He expects to play Sunday against the Packers.
"I'm doing much better, doing a lot of stuff hard in the rehab room, just trying to get it back," Robison said. "I feel like I got a good range of motion, it's just getting the strength back in it."
Cornerback Antoine Winfield, who fractured a bone in his right index finger, expects to play Sunday with his right hand padded.
Reliable rookie
The Pro Bowl rosters will be announced tonight, and Vikings rookie kicker Blair Walsh has an outside chance of making the NFC team. Walsh has an NFL record nine field goals of 50 yards or longer.
"It's one of those things where it happens, it's awesome, if it doesn't happen, keep on pushing," Walsh said. "I'm more focused on what I have to do in practice. Accolades are great and all, but this game is more important."
After a poor senior season at Georgia, it was a bit of a surprise when the Walsh was drafted by the Vikings in the sixth round. He has made 32 of 35 field goal attempts, however, and all 32 conversion attempts.
"I knew I was capable of doing it from the start," Walsh said. "The biggest surprise is the number of attempts we've gotten. Thirty-five attempts is a lot. It's a different beast at this level, each kick is so important, it matters so much when the game is so close."
Veteran Ryan Longwell, who was cut to make room for Walsh, tweeted his support for Walsh's Pro Bowl candidacy on Sunday.
"It was one of the most humbling things I've ever had said about me by anyone," Walsh said. "My response was 100 percent truthful -- guys like him have set the bar for other kickers who come in the league, and they hold us to a higher standards, and we try to emulate careers like his."
Ford added
The Vikings signed tight end Chase Ford to their practice squad. Ford, a rookie from Miami, has been on both the Philadelphia and Dallas practice squads this season. Tight end Allen Reisner, who has been on and off the Vikings' roster the past two years, was claimed by Jacksonville after the Vikings cut him on Saturday. The Jaguars also signed guard Mark Asper, who had been waived by the Vikings.

Gravity Creates Felicia Day Web Video for Microsoft
Press release from Gravity:
New York, New York – Microsoft Advertising and Y&R New York turned to international visual effects, design and brand communications company Gravity to create an original, long-form web content piece promoting various Microsoft tools. The piece, which runs over four minutes in length, features on-line gaming personality Felicia Day.
The Gravity-produced content piece, which launched on the Internet earlier this year, was commissioned by Microsoft Advertising to appeal to CMOs and media buying agencies, so that they will consider using the innovative advertising tools available from Microsoft. These tools, including the MSN portal, Windows Mobile, Skype and Xbox, can be utilized as media outlets by which to reach millions of Internet users. Felicia Day is the creator and star of "The Guild," an on-line web series about gamers. To date, "The Guild" has drawn over 150 million viewings during the five years of its existence.
Said Zviah Eldar, Gravity's CEO and Chief Creative Officer, "It is a very exciting time for us at Gravity as we are being asked more frequently to create branded content that will be shared in social media outlets by various target audiences. For Y&R, we wanted to create a 'world' for Microsoft Advertising that would emphasize its powerful combination of MSN, Skype, Windows Mobile and Xbox in an informative way, while also being fun, engaging and something that media planners, buyers and marketers would find worthy of sharing."
Bob Samuel, Gravity's CMO/EP, adds, "We were flattered and excited to get the call from Y&R to work at such an early phase in this project's development. Our Digital Effects Supervisor, Yuval Levy, led two Gravity teams for this assignment: one in NY and one in Tel Aviv. He worked closely with the Y&R team and Director Nathy Aviram (also Y&R's Head of Content Production) In previz, design, live action design and all of the visual VFX work. In the end, Gravity delivered 88 VFX shots (of the 89 total shots) for this four-minute piece. It was a great challenge for us on a super-tight timeline…and I think we nailed it."
Win Peniston, Gravity's Chief Digital Officer, continues, "Our approach for this project was to make what was essentially a B-to-B piece of messaging feel a lot more like a consumer communication spot. And working with Microsoft, Y&R and Felicia Day to tell this story certainly helped achieve that, while also helping craft a visually arresting story that will drive the content's proliferation across all of the relevant social channels."

text: Sharing the impressive range of their scholarly and creative pursuits with their students and colleagues, professors from St. John's various Schools and Colleges showcased their most recent publications in April at the University's 14th Annual Faculty Book Reception. The reception featured 38 books written or edited by 31 faculty members — "a celebration of our faculty as researchers and writers of the highest quality," said Julia A. Upton, RSM, Ph.D., Provost. "Showcasing the tremendous breadth and depth of books authored by our professors is one more way that our University promotes intellectual discourse on campus."Photo GalleryMore than 60 guests attended the reception, held at the Institute for Writing Studies in St. Augustine Hall on Wednesday, April 13. "By far, this is one of the best Faculty Book Receptions we've had," said Anne Geller, Ph.D., Associate Professor of English and Director of St. John's Writing Across the Curriculum program. "Our faculty authors and our guests were energized by the remarkable range of scholarly and creative work that is generated by this University's faculty."This year, five of the faculty authors conducted a panel discussion about their books and the ways they approached their work. The panelists were Frank Brady, Ph.D., Professor of Communications Arts, College of Professional Studies; Linda Carozza, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Communications Sciences and Disorders, St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; Glayol Ekbatani, Ph.D., Associate Professor and Coordinator of ESL, St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; Thomas Kitts, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, English and Speech, College of Professional Studies; and Steve Sicari, Professor and Chair, English, St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. "It was so refreshing to be among so many St. John's authors," said Dr. Brady. "I enjoyed having the chance to talk with some, and I look forward to talking with others about their research, their ideas for subjects, their writing styles. It would be wonderful to meet as a group periodically and discuss our works in progress." Dr. Brady's book — Endgame; Bobby Fischer's Remarkable Rise and Fall From America's Brightest Prodigy to the Edge of Madness — was favorably reviewed in The New York Times. Other widely reviewed faculty books include The Philosophical Breakfast Club: Four Remarkable Friends Who Transformed Science and Changed the World, by Laura J. Snyder, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy. The Wall Street Journal praised the book for its "full command of the scientific, social and cultural dimensions" of its subject. We invite you to experience the full range of faculty work at the Spring 2011 Faculty Book Reception.

He said: "You are always looking to improve your team, yourself, and your football club as a whole, so if you get little pointers that can just push you and just elevate you and your club to a higher level, [then it's] fantastic.
"It is those small margins that can sometimes propel you out of the division, hopefully upwards," explained Powell, who has been in charge at The Valley since 2011.
The 43-year-old, who joined Addicks' assistant manager Alex Dyer on the course, believes he can learn much from the experience and knowledge of the other candidates, course tutors and presenters.
"Everyone has been in situations that one or two of us haven't experienced and then you can ask questions: How did you deal with it? What was the outcome?
"Sometimes they may do things differently to you, but you may take that back to your club and think: 'Right, let's try that. Will it work with my group? Will it work with my staff?'
"Invariably you find your own way but I think it is always good to just find out what other people are doing as well."
Powell and his fellow Pro Licence candidates return to St. George's Park in February for the next part of their coaching education. The former England international has been pleased with the course content so far.
"I think it makes you more of a rounded manager and person. Sometimes it improves your communication with your players, with your staff and it gives you an empathy with your players."

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht
Novum Testamentum et Orbis Antiquus/Studien zur Umwelt des Neuen Testaments (NTOA/StUNT) -
plus S&H
PDF eBook | 59,99 € |
The author presents the tradition of monotheistic ideas and formulas in three parts, beginning with non-Jewish world, then turning to the Old Testament and finally to the New Testament. She studies the to date little known beginnings of non-Jewish monotheistic thinking, for example, among the Greek Presocratics, Plato and the Stoics up to the beginnings of the Roman Empire. The second chapter is devoted to the use of monotheistic formulas in the Old Testament and in the Jewish writings of Greek and Roman times. In the third chapter the author asks how it was possible that early Chistianity, having received the monotheistic creed of God the Father, could have accepted Jesus Christ as a divine figure – as the "son" next to the "father."

Ulster too strong for Warriors
Ulster flanker Chris Henry made some sustained second-half pressure count as last season's Heineken Cup runners-up secured their second win of this season's tournament and condemned Glasgow to another loss with a 19-8 triumph at Scotstoun.
Henry touched down as Ulster drove over after dominating the early stages of the second half in front of a sell-out crowd.
Peter Horne gave Glasgow the lead with a penalty in a tight opening half, but Paddy Jackson, who claimed four penalties and a conversion, proved the more competent kicker throughout the contest and Glasgow replacement Niko Matawalu's late try proved only a consolation.
Northampton suffered a defeat to Castres for the second year running after being outclassed and outfought in a 21-16 result under the lights of the Stade Ernest Wallon in Toulouse.
A George Pisi try was not enough for the Aviva Premiership leaders, as their French opposition edged to victory. Paul Bonnefond crossed over early on for the home side with Antonie Classen adding one of his own in the second half, while Romain Teulet was on target with a conversion and a penalty.
Rory Kockott took advantage of more lapses in Northampton's defending to convert another penalty as Remi Tales finished off the scoring as Castres claimed the victory with a drop-goal despite three Stephen Myler penalties and a conversion.

Livet Pa Landet
Also known as Life in the Country, this easygoing Swedish comedy is based on a story by Fritz Reuter. That peerless Scandinavian actor Edvard Persson heads the cast as Brassig, a retired land overseer who plays Cupid for a pair of star-crossed lovers. He also convinces a stubborn, taciturn nobleman to modernize his farming methods, thereby effecting a reconciliation between the nobleman and his visionary son. The Swedish sense of humor is not always subtle, and there are admittedly a few moments that won't play well with American audiences. Still, any opportunity to see Edvard Persson in action should not be passed up. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this early feature from Swedish auteur Ingmar Bergman, Gosta (Bengt Eklund) is a sailor with the merchant marine who has decided to take some time off from sailing after eight years at sea. Working the docks until he can find a better job, one Saturday night Gosta visits a dance hall and meets Berit (Nine-Christine Jonsson), a beautiful but troubled young woman. Berit has a history as a juvenile delinquent and has served time in a home for girls, where she met her close friend Gertrud (Mimi Nelson). Berit soon becomes infatuated with Gosta, and his strong, well-grounded nature seems to be the stabilizing influence she needs. However, in time Gosta learns about Berit's checkered past and meets her mother (Berta Hall), who makes no secret of her contempt for her daughter. Gosta begins having second thoughts about his relationship with Berit after she unwittingly involves him in the death of Gertrud, who succumbs after receiving an illegal abortion. Hamnstad (aka Port of Call and Harbor City) marks the first time Bergman worked with cinematographer Gunnar Fischer, who would photograph many of his most memorable films of the 1950's. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Bergman's comic masterpiece opens with middle-aged lawyer Frederik Egerman (Gunnar Bjornstrand) again failing to consummate his marriage with the much younger Anne (Ulla Jacobsson). While visiting a former lover, actress Desiree Armfeldt (Eva Dahlbeck), he crosses swords with her current lover, Count Malcolm (Jarl Kulle), after both men learn that Frederik is the father of her illegitimate child. At Desiree's behest, her mother invites Egerman, the Count, and their wives along with Egerman's grown son, Henrik (Björn Bjelvenstam) to her manor house for the weekend. Before their departure, divinity student Henrik wards off the eager advances of the housemaid by reading from the Bible aloud, but it seems clear that he and Anne are quite taken with one another. After arriving at the Ryarp estate the guests are served a dinner spiked with a love potion which provokes swift reactions. The bewildered Frederik becomes aware of the increasingly intense bond between Henrik and Anne, and the Countess (Margit Carlquist) makes a public bet with her husband that she can seduce Frederik. Shocked by the dinner-table conversation, the strait-laced Henrik retires to his room to commit suicide. In the course of his bumbling attempt, he has the good fortune to learn why so many prefer sex to death. ~ Michael Costello, Rovi

The Virgin Spring

Inspired by a medieval Swedish ballad, Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring (Jungfrukallan) begins with a scene of unspeakable brutality and ends with an image of uncommon beauty. 15-year-old Birgitta Peterson, on her way to church to light candles for the Virgin Mary, is raped and murdered by two older men. The men look for shelter at the home of Birgitta's father (Max Von Sydow), who murders the bestial killers in cold blood. When the deed is done, Von Sydow, a deeply religious man, begins to question the efficacy of a God that would allow his daughter's death, then permit so bloody a retribution. Then, a fresh, virgin spring bubbles from the ground where his daughter had been lying a few moments before. Taking this natural phenonenon as a sign from above, Von Sydow vows to erect a church on the spot where Birgitta met her doom. The winner of the "best foreign picture" Academy Award, The Virgin Spring currently exists in several versions of varying lengths; the longest, and most graphic, is the original Swedish cut. Believe it or not, this hauntingly beautiful film served as the basis of The Last House on the Left (1972). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

He has decided to leave his wife for her and the two spend the night making love. In the cold morning light, the woman realizes she doesn't want him and so leaves without him. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Add Shame to top of Queue
Shame is grand master Ingmar Bergman's bitter and unsparing condemnation of war - all war, regardless of which side one chooses. The story begins with two ex-musicians, Eva and Jan Rosenberg (Liv Ullmann and Max von Sydow, respectively) peacefully inhabiting a weathered house where they grow fruits and vegetables. The residence is located on a desolate, arid island in some unspecified geographic location. Many items in The Rosenbergs' house, such as the radio, aren't functioning properly, and an explosive conflict transpires in the distance. (To avoid being ideologically pigeonholed, Bergman avoids identifying either side of the struggle or the reasons for the conflict itself). The Rosenbergs remain aloof, detached and geographically removed from the struggle, but little by little, over time, various elements of the war seep into the couples' lives and force their involvement. The tumult first sets in when jet planes roar over the house; then a parachutist gets killed and soldiers turn up at the Rosenberg residence. Finally, Eva and Jan get forcibly interrogated and incarcerated. Following the complete obliteration of the Rosenberg house, Eva has sex with one of the military leaders, Colonel Jacobi (Gunnar Bjornstrand) for unspecified reasons. Although Bergman never explicitly makes it clear if Jan witnesses this, he does deliberately conceal money that he could have easily used to buy Jacobi's freedom from the other side. As the heart-wrenching tale rolls forward, circumstances force The Rosenbergs into a face-to-face confrontation with their own identities and emotions. ~ Tom Wiener, Rovi

Conventions of civility among family members are severely strained by the very real breakup of the bonds between them. During a few days at a vacation home, Katha (Birgitta Valberg), a woman in late middle age, tries to cope with an influx of discontented, disconnected relatives. Her divorced daughter brings all sorts of people to the house, including a woman-friend accompanied by her psychotic son; the grandfather of the house is convinced he is dying and is satisfied by nothing; and some friends drop off their angry teenage son to stay with her, while they go on a long trip abroad. Her friend Emma (Sif Ruud) doesn't help much with keeping a lid on things, as she is a social worker who is fascinated by the awfulness of these situations. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Written by pantheon Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, Sunday's Children was directed by Bergman's son Daniel. This intensely autobiographical film takes place when the elder Bergman was a child of eight. In a near-cathartic fashion, the story illustrates the strained relationship between young Ingmar and his minister father, and the understanding (not always a warm one) between them. Though Daniel Bergman pursues his own visual style, this is his father's film through and through, and as such should be given an honored place in Ingmar's body of work. Sunday's Children is, to date, the best of the recent "retrospectives" penned by the far-from-retired Ingmar Bergman. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Ontario County teen accused of causing friend's death to appear in court
Posted at: 02/20/2013 2:16 AM | Updated at: 02/20/2013 6:04 AM
An Ontario County teen charged with criminally negligent homicide in the death of his friend is due back in court Wednesday.
Jeremiah Acquilano, 17, will be in court for a suppression hearing, where the judge will determine if certain evidence can be used in the case.
Acquilano is charged in the death of 19-year-old Dyllon Brewster. Both boys are Bloomfield natives.
Officials say Acquilano was driving a pick up truck too fast through the Wishing Well Trailer Park in East Bloomfield back in May 2012.
Brewster was riding on the hood of the truck when he fell off and suffered a fatal head injury.

Filed under: Estates
The town of New Albany, Ohio may be small (around 5,000) but it is set to become one of the most affluent areas in Ohio. The town, which is located near Columbus, has new houses which are designed to be true country estates with a Georgian look. The New Albany community includes both a golf course and a large club house, in the Georgian style of course. The home shown here overlooks the Jack Nicklaus golf couse and sits on around two acres which include formal gardens that match the manor-like look of the house. The interior is rich with cherry wood and a grand almost antiquated style with modern touches in the kitchen and the theater room. It is listed at $2.495 million. After the jump, English in Ohio.

The Digital Content and Libraries Working Group continues to explore issues related to the Big Six publishers and library purchasing, licensing, and lending of their ebooks. Even for those of us actively trying to follow developments, there is plenty to be confused about.
Digital Content: What's Next, the third supplement on ebooks and digital content from American Libraries, is now available.
This summer, Random House is reaching out to libraries with an ebook preview sampler that offers chapters from nine books by new authors. This is wonderful recognition of the vital role that libraries play in building an audience for emerging authors. And yet, I have a couple of bits of constructive criticism.
A recently released email from Steve Jobs to James Murdoch of News Corporation, which owns HarperCollins, shows just how involved the late Apple executive was in developing the agency model and increasing ebook prices. Interpretation of the email varies widely, however.
Chicago, IL (5/16/2013) – The American Library Association (ALA) and UMB CardPartner (cardpartner.com) have launched The American Library Association affinity Visa®Platinum Rewards credit card, expanding its Affinity/MVP Programs for ALA members.
Skip Prichard has been named the next president and CEO of OCLC effective July 1, the firm announced May 16. He will succeed Jay Jordan, who will retire on June 30 after 15 years at the helm of OCLC.

Chicken menu for today included some awesome grains with carrots, red clover, nettle, garlic and a whole buckwheat plant (greens, flowers and seeds), which is a good calcium accumulator. If I find any slugs or snails in the garden they'll get those too. They'll have more space to forage around soon, but for now they're doing pretty damn well.

A hamburger made from ground beef containing "pink slime"
A hamburger made from ground beef containing what is derisively referred to as "pink slime," or what the meat industry calls "lean, finely textured beef," right, and one made from pure 85% lan ground beef are ready for tasting Thursday, March 15, 2012 in Concord, N.H. Under a change announced Thursday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, districts that get food through the government's school lunch program will be allowed to say no to ground beef containing the ammonia-treated filler and choose filler-free meat instead. The low-cost filler is made from fatty meat scraps that are heated to remove most of the fat, then treated with ammonium hydroxide gas to kill bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella.

Sturdy collard leaves make excellent nutrient-dense wrappers for a tasty mixture of aduki beans, bell pepper and brown rice.
This is one of the most impressive and classic roasts; perfect for a crowd. Although we suggest that this recipe serves 16, those with large appetites may ask for seconds.
Slightly sweeter than the canned variety you might be used to, green garbanzo beans have a fresh flavor similar to peas. Serve this extra-green guac with raw veggies and baked tortilla chips or baked whole grain pita chips.
A fabulous offering for a crowd. You can make both the salad and dressing up to 8 hours ahead but wait until just before serving to toss the two together.
Let this sandwich sit for several hours for the flavors to meld and the oil to impart the bread with a delicious flavor.
Easy for kids to assemble themselves, these little sandwiches made with chicken sausage and organic whole wheat pancakes use a bit of fruit spread for a perfectly sweet and savory breakfast. Serve with fresh fruit, and a good day is on its way.
Using both fresh pineapple and pineapple juice makes this smoothie a tropical dream. The addition of coconut milk makes for a rich, creamy drink, great for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up.
This recipe comes to us courtesy of the Renegade Lunch Lady Chef Ann Cooper and her book Lunch Lessons: Changing the Way We Feed our Children.
A pot roast is much easier to prepare than you might think and makes a fabulous one-dish dinner...and even better leftovers. It's simple to customize a pot roast by using different seasonings, liquid and vegetables.
Walnut oil, creamy cheese, pears and lemon juice combine beautifully with white wine vinegar in this elegant salad.
Try serving these game-day nachos, featuring black beans and blue corn tortilla chips, with shredded chicken, ground beef, or roasted bell peppers and onions on top. Serve with dollops of guacamole or lime wedges on the side.

Fun to make, a delight to the eyes and absolutely yummy, this jelly roll-style cake is a holiday favorite.
To makeover for this traditional holiday favorite, we replaced the powdered orange drink mix and sweetened powdered tea with orange juice and black tea. Whole spices and some sugar add just the right warmth and sweetness.
The nutty sweetness of butternut squash combined with sautéed shallots and almond butter makes a delicious and surprising topping for crostini. For a festive touch, top with toasted almonds. Substitute other winter squash, if you like.
The shape of orecchiette pasta is perfect for holding the savory sauce made from the mushrooms as they cook. If you have any leftovers, serve them at room temperature the next day.

Participants received the Sacraments of Initiation—Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist—at the 5:30 p.m. Student Mass. Auxiliary Bishop Octavio Cisneros of Brooklyn presided at the liturgy.

Dull? Maybe. But Building a Better GRI is Vital to More & Better Corporate Sustainability
Blogging from GRI Global Conference on Sustainability and Reporting in Amsterdam
The word 'audit' is derived from the Latin word "audire" which means "to hear" — an apt etymology in the movement for more and better corporate sustainability, where stakeholder interests are so closely and vitally linked to good sustainability reporting.
We, the stakeholders, increasingly want to hear what companies are doing, or not doing, on sustainability issues and, of course, we want to understand, not only what companies are reporting on but critically how they report.

Some common sense might reduce the risk, but tourist days will always be dangerous. So should that stop you?
This week I was at a funeral for my friend Charly who died doing what he loved, riding the Nurburgring Nordschleife on his motorbike. It's something that I used to do practically every day, but not any more. I've discussed this whole topic of bikes on the 'ring before, and I'm not going to go over it again here.
But what I am going to talk about, for better or for worse, is the matter of safety at the Nurburgring during public hours. Charly died, as many have before him, after crashing on fluids. Oil and water spills will never be eliminated, so long as we insist on driving the track in water-cooled and oil-lubricated motorised contraptions. But the sheer number of spills and their severity could, in my opinion, be reduced with some simple briefings or warnings.
Last night I went to a typical mid-week tourist session and interviewed a random selection of drivers in the car park, and asked a few basic questions. How many laps have they done, which side can you overtake on tonight, and what should they do in the case of an accident?
The answers were surprising, to say the least.
Nearly half of those I asked thought the best thing to do after an accident was to drive slowly back to the car park. Some people even thought they'd be prosecuted for stopping.
Look at the photo above for proof of that mindset at work. Look at the wing-mirror. The car has crashed, he's damaged the tyre, it's practically off the rim. How does this driver know that an oil-cooler or radiator isn't broken? Answer: he doesn't.
And he'd rather drive the car back to the car park than stop and get a 200-euro recovery truck. The rim will cost more than that, I'm sure.
It's not just a bad decision, it's a common occurrence and one that claims lives regularly. But what really cooks my brain is that I *know* idiots and unfortunates like the guy above do stupid stuff every other day, and I still want to ride the track!
Charly knew it. We had a big conversation about this just a week before his fatal accident. The Germans have a lovely phrase to describe hobbies and desires that make no sense. They call it a rusty nail in the brain. He not only declared he had this nail in the brain, but also pointed mine out.
And I'm not the only one, hundreds of bikers ride the 'ring every week. Some of them ride without even knowing the dangers, but even if they know about them, it still hurts when they crash.
Nurburgring. Safety. Preaching ends.

This is my banger and i apologize for the por pic quality i will try and get some better ones later.
well there it is.
Ouch, I can barely make it out. You need a camera with a macro lens (no, I don't have one or my minis would be online too). The colors look good, but I coment any more than that until I get a better picture. Luckily, I'll get to see it in person soon.
Can't see the figure well enough to comment yet. However, the small image on the backing paper seems clear (the formation of Skyhawks?) so maybe if you can try the next attempt with the figure at the same distance as the paper was for this one, hopefully it'll work better

k yeah i will have better pic up tomorrow hopefully
and try to get a lot more light, especially from the front

HIA aims to land development nearby Authority seeks gas stations, hotel, restaurants near the complex to serve customers , BY P.J. REILLY, Staff Writer
Much has been done over the past decade to improve and increase the facilities and amenities at Harrisburg International Airport.
Now the Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority has set its sights on doing the same thing just outside the airport complex 10 miles north of Elizabethtown.
The authority is looking for a developer to turn a 23-acre parcel of land it owns next to the airport into a commercial center, featuring a hotel, a restaurant, a gas station and other facilities.
"We welcome it with open arms," said Lower Swatara Township Commissioner William Leonard Jr.
"It's good for us, good for the airport and good for the visitors to our township."
There currently are no hotels, restaurants or gas stations in the immediate area of Harrisburg International Airport, according to Brenda Wick, Lower Swatara's planning and zoning director.
"We definitely want more business in the township, and, other than the airport, that is a fairly rural area," she said. "There isn't even a gas station in that corridor, until you travel down Route 230 to Highspire."
The property the authority has eyed for development is bounded by Route 230 to the south, Rosedale Avenue to the east and north and Meade Avenue to the west.
The airport is south of Route 230.
Currently, the undeveloped property zoned "highway commercial" is used as a parking lot for large trucks, according to Larry Lawyer, the authority's engineer.
A Sheetz gas station and store at the intersection of Meade Avenue and Route 230 already is in the land-development phase.
Construction could begin this summer, Lawyer said.
For the rest of the tract, the authority is looking for a developer who can bring to life the authority's vision.
Lawyer said the authority wants a 70- to 100-room hotel, a restaurant, a fast-food establishment, a bank and four or five other retail stores on the property.
It would be up to the developer "to use his contacts in the industry to fill those slots," Lawyer said.
He did not have an estimate for the total cost of the development project.
Developers have until March 1 to submit their qualifications to the authority for consideration.
Lawyer said he expects the authority to choose a developer before the end of March.
There is no time frame for the development to be completed.
Lawyer said he would expect the developer to work on one piece of the project at a time.
"It might take several years before it's completely built out," he said.
According to Lawyer, the roster of businesses the authority wants to see in the new commercial center would fill needs that have been identified by travelers.
"The authority has heard from people who said they wish there was a hotel or a nice restaurant close to the airport," he said. "That makes sense, when you think about the kinds of things you find close to most major airports."
As Harrisburg International Airport has grown, offering more flights to more destinations, it has drawn travelers from farther away, according to Rick Dunlap, director of communications for the Hershey-Harrisburg Regional Visitors Bureau.
Having a hotel close to the airport is likely to be a great convenience for people traveling long distances to fly out of Harrisburg, he said.
"If you're coming from Williamsport for an early morning flight, it will be nice to have a hotel right there where you can stay the night before," Dunlap said.
Leonard said he would also expect the center to serve students and others traveling to and from Penn State University's Harrisburg campus, located less than a mile to the east.
"The opportunity is there to take advantage of the growth in the airport and the growth in Penn State Harrisburg," he said. "And a development like this will help ease the burden on our residential taxpayers."

Worcester man pleads guilty to machete slaying
WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) -- A Worcester man accused of hacking another man to death with a machete in a dispute over rent money has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
Daniel Harrigan was sentenced Thursday to life in prison with the possibility of parole on 15 years.
The 27-year-old Harrigan had been charged with first-degree murder for the January 2009 slaying of 29-year-old Kodjo Abbey, but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge.
Authorities said Harrigan and Abbey lived in the same building, owned by Harrigan's mother. They said Harrigan asked for rent money and attacked after Abbey said he didn't have any.
The Telegram & Gazette reported that an autopsy showed that Abbey bled to death from multiple stab wounds and sharp force cutting and chopping injuries.
Abbey's lawyer said his client is remorseful.
