Our favourite jeans company, Naked and Famous, has made a pair of jeans out of the heaviest denim in the world. Two to three times the weight of your average high quality denim, these Naked and Famous jeans are made from 32oz selvedge denim and are so heavy and rigid, the jeans can stand on their own.
These jeans look like any other pair of denim you'd see on a fashionable twentysomething. Dark, slim fit and cut perfectly -- heck, I wouldn't mind buying these myself. But unlike other jeans, this pair is made with scratch 'n sniff raspberry scented denim. Yes. Scratch and sniff. On your freaking jeans! This is awesome.
Your jeans in the freezer: It's a recipe for shrinkage of the worst kind, plus it won't do anything to clean your jeans despite Levi's recommendation to do so.

The Marquardt (405-35), with all three bedrooms on the second floor, is perfect for the young family. The well-proportioned 1,737 square feet of living space offers many angles as well as a unique openness. The home has ideal dimensions for a smaller lot, where space is essential.
This two-story home has many amenities such as a large rear deck and an enormous two-car garage with a shop area. As part of the garage area, the utility room is situated to provide a large area that does not take away from the actual living space.
The L-shaped kitchen of the Marquardt is open with a centrally located eating bar. A breakfast nook faces the deck and has sliding doors to the outside. A corner pantry is incorporated within the area of the stairs to the upper floor. The dining room also has sliding doors to the deck, along with a huge window.
The living room is set apart, ideal for entertaining or for those quiet evenings. There is a fireplace on the rear wall, surrounded by many windows along with a bay window.
As you ascend the stairs, there is a storage closet half way up. Once you have reached the second floor, there are two bedrooms to the left with walk-in closets. The larger of the two rooms has a dormer window that would be perfect for a desk (computer area).
The full bath is located adjacent to the master suite at the head of the stairs. A large window lights the master suite. The placement of the large walk-in closet and the full master bath provides a sound barrier from the rest of the home. The main portion of the suite extends above the dining/kitchen area, and outside next to the storage area is open to the entry below.
This home, while extremely functional, provides a modern look with very little wasted space. It makes the ideal starter home, as it is medium sized and well designed.
The Marquardt (405-35) is our plan of the week. For a limited time, we are offering up to 50 percent off construction plans for this design. Call us at 1-800-562-1151 or visit us online at www.ldiplans.com for details. A $25 study plan is also available consisting of: an artist rendering, elevations, floor plans, and cross section.

Friends and family gathered in Brooklyn Tuesday to remember a recent victim of gun violence.
On the day Fatima Gordon would have turned 29, her family honored the young mother's memory with a vigil and march.
Gordon was one of four people shot last week in Prospect Lefferts Gardens as she was walking to the grocery store.
Her family said they believe neighbors are hiding the identity of the shooter and are asking them to come forward.
"I'm gonna pray for that sucker, that maggot," said Vera Reid, the victim's grandmother. "Because he shot two other people prior to this. And they still didn't say nothing. If they had said something and taken him off the street, my granddaughter would be alive."
A 13-year-old and two 26-year-olds were shot and wounded.
More than a hundred people marched around the neighborhood Tuesday in an effort to take back the streets from criminals.
They said they'll do so every week for the foreseeable future.

Dutch court clogs Pirate Bay
A Dutch court has ordered The Pirate Bay to remove itself from the Netherlands within 10 days or face fines of 30,000 euros per day. The ban is unsurprisingly the result of a copyright lawsuit and call for action filed by the local recording industry lobby group, Stichting Brein. A judge on Thursday ordered the three Pirate Bay …
Alpha Centauri
"...the ruling came as a surprise to the three founders because they hadn't received an official summons - and weren't even aware of the case.
Because the trio weren't present at the hearing, the court issued a default judgment in Stichting Brein's favor."
sounds strangely familiar...
Hold on, your allows to run a company from prison in the netherlands???, you arent allowed to have that kind of responsibility in the UK so they shouldnt be able to effect any change within their company from a cell.
On a side point shouldnt due process allow the defendants the right to have their voice heard in court, the fact they were never notified about the case is itself a travesty of law.
Oh well, just shows if you have the lobbyists you can get anythging banned.
Another failure of the legal profession to understand even the basics of the interwebs!
censorship at it finest?!
so they couldn't block the website because of "freedom of speech", the walk around was to order the website _not_ to serve their residence or face a fine!
how can this be accepted? if the government want to censor a website, shouldn't the government be the one that order all ISPs to block access to the said website? why should the website be responsible for handling the censoring of it traffic especially when the said censoring is _NOT_ in the website best intreast?
first the USofA with gambling websites and now this! if the government wish to censor the internet, they should be clear about it and do it themselves. Forcing a 3rd party to do it doesn't change the fact that it is a government sponsored censorship. They should take lessons from China and be open about the fact that they are censoring the internet.
Print $error_message;
print $Website;
Not the most elegant way to implement it, but...
Justice for $$$
1. Bring suit.
2. Bribe court to not notify the victim
3. Victim doesn't turn up
4. Be awarded victory by default because victim doesn't turn up
5. Profit!

Not sure about the Legal stance of this ruling (unless the justice system is completely different to the UK).
A summons MUST be given to the defendants, or it can not continue.. yes you can continue if the summons has been given, but not the other way round, no?
No summons?
As I understand it, a court summons is a pretty obvious thing when it happens to you and involves documentary evidence of receipt, so it should *rapidly* become clear which side is telling the truth here.
However, surely the whole case is a legal pantomime. Both the defendants and their hosting facility are in Sweden, so how can a court in another country have jurisdiction over either? Even within the EU, the principle of subsidiarity applies. If the court wants to block PB in their own country, it should speak to the people who bring PB into their own country. If they wish to block it at source, they should speak to a court in that country or they should speak to the European Court.
Basic rule about hierarchies: if you want a sibling to do something, ask nicely or go to a parent.
@Tim and many others
The Pirate Bay is a bit torrent tracker, as well as a search facillity. They allow searches, similarly to Goobinghoo et al, (while sending abusive emails to people who ask for their copyright material to be removed) but also host the tracker for the torrent. A torrent does not work without a tracker.
"Hold on, your allows to run a company from prison in the netherlands???"
Don't know what you've been smoking, but you need to change to something better. The PB guys aren't even in prison at the moment, let alone in a Dutch one.
And your spelling sucks too.
Uh Oh
The store is closed....thieves report elsewhere.
summons and documentary evidence of receipt
Summons don't need documentary evidence of receipt anymore, as they can be done over email, Facebook etc.
@ Tom T
....You serious?!?!?!?
Bloody Hell!
Simple solution .
Put in a dialogue box stating that if you are logging in from the netherlands, you will be routed through a proxy in Russia. Since the copyright issues with russia aren't resolved, and most dutch can't read cyrillic, and most public servants wont risk it anyway, job done.
Doesn't matter.
TPB sold out and is soon to die. All these idiots are just wasting their money.
@Tom Chiverton 1
Does that list currently include delivery by BitTorrent ??
1 down
Excellent results, 1 torrent site closed after several years work to close it , only 4,256,234 to go
It's all good
TPB folks going to prison and being fined is a good thing. Even better is Gary McKinnon shipping off to the U.S. for prosecution. It's all good. Get the scum off the streets.
There do seem to be a few misconceptions floating around regarding this case and the verdict:
- (a) the defendants weren't aware of the case
- (b) the judge automatically hands out default verdicts if one party doesn't show up
- (c) the judge is somehow hampered by the site being in Sweden
- (d) the judge looked into the merits of the case
(a) and (b) From local newspapers, it appears that Brein approached the judge with a fat logbook of their attempts to contact TPB via emial, twitter, chat etc., which incidentally received a cool reception. It didn't convince the judge, who reportedly asked: "Let's be old-fashioned. Don't they have an address register in Sweden that you can use to look up the defendant's address ?". Only when Brein then (reportedly) showed chat conversations in Swedish that clearly referred to the case and which they (apparently) linked to one of the defendants in a plausible way did the judge agree to deliver a default verdict.
(c) The case brought by Brein against TPB was about whether TPB infringed on *Dutch* copyright law *in Holland* by allowing Dutch citizens to use its service. Now Sweden and Holland are both EU members, so that a Dutch court has all the authority it needs to impose sanctions on Swedish subjects and corporations for any transgressions they commit against Dutch law in Holland. The same holds for any two pairs of EU members. Think of that. Moreover Swedish police are *required* to enforce the verdicts of said court in Sweden. That's the way the EU works, and incidentally I believe that's the way the USA works too (verdicts by one state are usually enforceable in another).
(d) As TPB didn't show up, the judge had two options: either agree or refuse to deliver a default verdict. Since Brein successfully argued that TPB was aware of the case, the judge agreed to deliver a default verdict. From that point on the judge hardly had any room to manouver, as he is *required* to sustain just about any claim that isn't explicitly opposed by the opposing party. Which in this case meant he *had* to rule in favour of Brein in every particular. Did Brein claim that TPB infringe on copyright and wasn't that denied? Then the judge must so rule. Did Brein claim that the site must be made inaccessible? The judge *must* so rule. Did Brein demand a penalty of 30k per day and argue that TPB makes lots of money, and did no-one deny this? The judge must, again, so rule.
Not because he's examined Brein's claim and judges it to be fair, but because their claim was at least plausible and *was not opposed*. That's what "default judgment" means folks.
The moral: don't let judges hand out default judgments against you because you can't be bothered to represent yourself.
lets face it how hard is it to make a fake log of online conversations?
also who in the hell is going to believe a e-mail/shitter... err I mean twitter/blog entry/on-line chat saying you got to report to another country on this day cause I'm suing you. I sure as hell know I wouldn't go without a hard copy.
makes me glad it still requires a paper summons to be signed for where I live ;)
The more the better
The more fines and prison time that TPB gets, the better. There's a lesson here for all to learn.
It dose shock me how people would rather make up a conspiracy than believe that someone know for dubious activity (TPB) would ignore a court somons and then claim they never received it.
A simpler solution
Make this one stick the other way.
Make sure as a result of this Dutch joke of a court, all Dutch goods are hereby shunned.
And that includes Philips and Shell. There are Dutch companies that make a lot more money than the IP Distribution Mafia. If those companies start losing money and are aware that this is a direct result of the IPDistMafia's corruption^wlobbying, there may be some results.
Please do the same to other countries that has allowed their IPDistMafia the same rampage to their law system. Simply refuse to purchase ANY goods from their companies until they fix their legal system. Afterall that's what some superpower has told the world to do for the last 30+ years: If you disagree with a country's system, blockade them. Only when the corruption^wlobbyism faces a serious threat to their wallet filling regimes, will this stop.
Russian wives and now TPB, nice !! I love mother Russia. Russia doesnt give a f... about a RIAA.
Kind of pathetic actually....
.. those of you who shout "travesty of justice" because of the Dutch Court's ruling, yet you did not open your mouths against the piracy supported and facilitated by TPB.
Selective morality?

Lindsey Vonn fears that Tiger Woods might try to holler at his ex-wife Elin Nordegren again now that she's single, according to a hilarious tabloid article.
The notorious serial cheater, whose harem of mistresses was exposed, destroying his marriage in 2009, has been dating Lindsey for over 18 months.
Still, now that it's all over for Chris Cline and Elin Nordegren, Vonn allegedly fears that Tiges will seek a reconciliation with the mother of his two children.
Since their divorce and $100 million settlement, Tiger and Elin have repaired their relationship significantly, even allegedly going on double dates together.
We're not sure if we buy the idea of Tiger, Lindsey, Elin and Chris bonding as couples, but the former spouses have indeed put aside their differences.
With Elin Nordegren single again, though, Lindsey "really fears it's only a matter of time until Tiger begs her to take him back," a friend told The Enquirer.

Smoking Cessation Clinic
Dedicated to the goal of reducing the prevalence of tobacco use, the Clinic has conducted research towards elucidating the nature of tobacco dependence and the development of pharmacological and psychological treatment approaches. In so doing, it has assisted thousands of smokers in the New York area to stop smoking.
Research in this clinic led to the first controlled evidence that non-nicotine medications may be useful cessation aids; to the initial observations regarding the association between mental disorders, smoking, and smoking cessation; and to the development of the Nicotine Dependence Scale, a tobacco dependence measure based on psychiatric criteria.
Current research activities focus on social, psychological, genetic and treatment factors that influence the ability to stop smoking and avoid relapse. These activities provide opportunities for clinicians and investigators who wish to develop expertise in tobacco dependence treatment and research.
Risks of Smoking
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the US, accounting for the deaths of more than 430,000 U.S. citizens each year - more than alcohol, cocaine, heroin, homicide, suicide, car accidents, fire, and AIDS combined. Tobacco is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, is implicated in over 90% of all lung cancers, contributes to cancers at many sites including the larynx, esophagus, kidney, bladder, and cervix, and is a principal risk factor for respiratory illnesses such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Tobacco use also causes damage to non-smokers, for example to spouses, and young children in the smoker' s environment through passive exposure to cigarette smoke.
Tobacco is a national economic burden, accounting for more than $100 billion per year in direct health costs to the smoker and indirect costs including perinatal care for infants of mothers who smoke, medical care costs due to second-hand smoke exposure, and other costs to society such as smoking-related fires.
Tobacco Dependence and Psychiatric Illness
Researchers at the Clinic have published studies during the past few years that have demonstrated a strong association between cigarette smoking and psychiatric illness. Compared with persons without mental disorders, persons who have a history of major depression, alcohol dependence, anxiety disorders, and schizophrenia have been shown to be more likely to become regular cigarette smokers and to have greater difficulty stopping. These findings, replicated in other research, have led to trials of various medications known to affect depression and other psychiatric disorders as smoking cessation aids. Of these medications, bupropion (Zyban) has been found to be a highly useful first-line treatment for tobacco dependence.
The best smoking cessation treatments address both the neurobiological and psychological aspects of tobacco dependence
Nicotine Replacement Therapies (NRT) - This includes the nicotine patch, nicotine gum, nicotine inhaler, and nicotine nasal spray. These replacement therapies provide users with lower overall nicotine levels than they receive with cigarettes and reduce withdrawal symptoms in most users. Clinical trials have shown that NRT doubles the rate of smoking cessation compared with placebo. The nicotine patch is applied once a day, while the gum, inhaler, and nasal spray can be used several times during the day, as needed. The nicotine patch and gum can be purchased without a doctor 's prescription.
Bupropion (Zyban) – Daily use of Zyban for about 6 to 8 weeks, as well as combined use of Zyban and the nicotine patch, has been shown to substantially increase the short-term smoking cessation rate in several placebo-controlled studies. Zyban requires a doctor's prescription.
Behavioral Interventions- Behavioral interventions aimed at helping the smoker manage the tobacco withdrawal period and develop coping skills to prevent smoking relapse have been shown to increase the usefulness of smoking cessation medications. Success rates increase with increasing duration and intensity of counseling and clinical support.
Participate in Research
The Clinic is now actively recruiting participants into two large-scale studies, both funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. One study examines whether extending treatment duration from the standard period of two months to six months will reduce the high relapse rate associated with smoking cessation. These treatments include Zyban, nicotine replacement, and counseling which are provided at no cost to participants. The other study, conducted with researchers from the Department of Medical Genetics at NYSPI, examines DNA material obtained from families of smokers to explore genetic factors that contribute to nicotine dependence. Individuals interested in participating in these studies may call the Clinic at 212-543-5905.

text: Beautiful Persian pop from Faegheh Atashin, aka Googoosh (alternately, Gougoush)– and like some of the best, adventurous pop music from around the world at the the time, it's steeped in myriad styles – from emotionally string-laden to funky and danceable! Googoosh is a genuine cultural icon in the realm of period Iranian pop music, but even with that status, some of her most amazing music is stunningly rare. Finders Keepers focuses a bit on the rare stuff for this incredible set – all from the early to med 70s – and it's one of their best ever releases. We don't speak the language, but there's no mistaking the genuine soul at the center of the songs. Really great stuff! Includes "Shekayat", "Talagh", "Mano Tou", "Pishkesh", "Mano Gonjishkaye Khooneh", "Digeh Geryeh Delo Van Menikoneh", "Gharibe Ashena" and more. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

7-Eleven in the works on Garrisonville Road
Work has started on a new 7-Eleven convenience store and fuel pumps at 910 Garrisonville Road near the intersection of Shelton Shop Road in Stafford County. The older 7-Eleven store near that intersection will close when the new one is ready.
7-Eleven has been expanding rapidly in Stafford County of late, with a new location recently opened on U.S. 17 near Falmouth and additional stores planned at 2899 Jefferson Davis Highway and at the Berea Marketplace on U.S. 17 near the Walmart. The latter two will be just stores without gas pumps.

MADRID (AP) - A Syrian Kurd who threw a shoe at Turkey's prime minister in Spain has been released from prison a few months early.
Hokman Joma tried to hit Recep Tayyip Erdogan with a shoe in February 2010 during a visit to the southern city of Seville, but it flew over Erdogan's head.
Hokman shouted "Long live Kurdistan" before being arrested. Turkey has been battling Kurdish rebels since 1984.
Joma was sentenced to three years in prison. But Spain's Justice Ministry says he was pardoned Friday on the condition he stays out for trouble for three years.
An Iraqi journalist who tried to hit former U.S. President George W. Bush with his shoes in Baghdad in 2008 had a three-year sentence reduced to one year.

2010 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Arzu Ari1, James B. Fink1, Robert Harwood1, Beverly Williams1, Sue Pilbeam2; 1Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA; 2Maquet Inc, Wayne, NJ
Abstract body: Background: Concerns have been expressed about the risk of exposure to exhaled aerosols to clinicians and patients in the ICU. However research is limited. The purpose of this study was to quantify the amount of aerosol collected at the exhaust outlet of mechanical ventilators operated with and without filters in the expiratory limb. Methods: Ventilators tested in this study were divided into two categories: (1) Ventilators without Proprietary Filters: The Servo-i (Maquet) and Galileo (Hamilton) and (2) Ventilator with proprietary filters: PB 840 (Covidien). Each ventilator was attached to a simple test lung and operated at adult parameters (Vt 500 ml, RR 20 bpm, PIF 50 L/min, PEEP 5 cmH2O). Four separate doses of albuterol (2.5 mg/3mL) were administered via jet nebulizer (eValueMed, Tri-anim) placed at the Y. In Experiment A, a filter (Respirgard 303) was placed at the exhaust port. In Experiment B, two filters were attached to the ventilators without proprietary filters: (1) at the end of the expiratory limb and (2) at the exhaust outlet. Drug was eluted from filters and measured using spectrophotometry (276 nm). Descriptive statistics, independent samples t test and one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were conducted to compare the amount of aerosol exiting from the exhaust filter of each ventilator. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Table below shows % of total drug (mean ± SD) deposited. Drug deposited at the exhaust port without expiratory filter was >160 fold higher than with ventilator with the proprietary filter. Although the Respirgard filter was less efficient than the proprietary filter designed for use with the ventilator, placement in the expiratory limb reduced secondhand aerosol exposure significantly (p<0.05). Conclusion: Risk of exposure to secondhand or exhaled aerosol can account for > 45% of nominal dose as well as droplet nuclei produced by patients. Use of ventilators without expiratory filters increases the risk of exposure to aerosol released to atmosphere from the ventilator. Sponsored Research - None

PowerPoint as a Graphics Editor:
Simplified Visual Design for Elearning
Kevin Thorn, Owner and Chief NuggetHead, Nuggethead Studioz
Recorded: Tuesday, August 27, 2013
(60 Minute Session)
Session Description
The Visual Cortex is the area of the brain we use to process visual information. We can communicate an action or perceived affordance on a computer screen by applying simple visual techniques. The term, "less is more" is the key by allowing learners to use their imagination and experiences to complete the image or graphic and in turn results in higher retention. As instructional designers we want our designs to be visually appealing and relevant.
How much time do you spend hunting for images or that just right graphic? What if a few strokes of a pen or the arrangement of a few simple shapes could convey the same message more effectively? Having an understanding of the basic principles of visual communication you'll be able to replace words with pictures. We'll discuss the visual cortex and how we use it every day to communicate. We'll look at examples of perceived affordances, and how making subtle changes to your elearning graphics can be a powerful companion to the instruction. We'll also look at techniques for creating on-demand graphics following basic visual communication principles.
About Kevin Thorn
Kevin is a self-taught designer & developer with a passion for the art of visual communications and an award winning elearning designer. He earned a B.S. in Information Technology Management from Christian Brothers University after retiring from the Army followed by a 15-year career in the corporate workforce. Kevin's is the owner and Chief NuggetHead of NuggetHead Studioz, a design, development, and consulting business including elearning design & development, illustration & graphic design, and training & consulting.

On 1994's Dubnobasswithmyheadman, Underworld took the sexy vocal groove of the epic "Mmm Skyscraper I Love You" and expanded it to album length. It's derivative, but by no means is it forgettable. With "Skyscraper," Underworld created the perfect club track; it was dark and dubby, with a relentless groove chugging along below atmospheric noises and a sinister, suggestive vocal. Extended to over an hour, it's a long and seductive hypnosis session, a decadent film noir journey through dark impulses and impure thoughts. Vocalist Karl Hyde provides a monotonous, stream-of-consciousness narrative which, when chopped and rearranged, reveals a quintessentially British reserve that keeps the album mysterious. This is functional music, perfect for driving and, ahem, other repetitive activities. --Matthew CorwineAll songs and lyrics in this album are listed as followings.

Living Along Mumbai's Giant Water Pipelines
Hop, skip and jumping along one of the water pipes
"There's so much poverty to be seen here and at the same time so much joy and happiness." This is how photographer Rob van Kessel describes his two-day journey along the giant pipes that supply the growing metropolis of Mumbai with water. From lakes high in India's Western Ghats, these water mains snake their way down into the city like steel-encased rivers, impossible not to notice.
By the time these kids grow up, the pipes will likely have been replaced.
The pipes provide the slum dwellers living along their flanks with water, a road, a playground for children, and sometimes just a place to hang out. Soon these pipeline settlers will be relocated, however – indeed, many have already been evicted, their huts demolished – as the government attempts to overhaul a water supply system that has failed to keep up with the times.
A good place for some quiet contemplation
Most of these water pipes – or "trunks" as they are sometimes referred to – are old and corroding. Some are relics of the British, who laid them down around 100 years ago to provide for a very different city than the one that exists today, massive and teeming with people.
Taking the high road
The water pipes wind their way through countryside, fields, suburbs and shantytowns. According to one source, Mumbai's pipelines cover an area of 2,400 kilometers (1,491 mi), above and below ground. And, on their way to the sprawling metropolis, the main pipes, like the seven seen here, run for 160 kilometers (99 mi) and range between 24 and a gigantic 108 inches in diameter.
Crossing the water
Most people in Mumbai don't have the luxury of taking water for granted. Even when the monsoon season provides enough rainwater to fill the reservoirs, the supply, which is regulated by the municipal corporation of Mumbai (the BMC), is rationed. This is mostly due to deficiencies in the supply system, with leakages in the old pipe system a major issue. Taps that rely solely on this official source only run for about six hours a day (much less, it's said, in some areas).
With special thanks to photographer Rob van Kessel for this incredible photographs. And Yohani Kamarudin for the text. This was originally posted in Environmental Graffiti. Please go to Environmental Graffiti for the full slideshow.

The "Messi and Friends" event, taking place a Soldier Field on July 6th, will highlight some of the best soccer players in the world. The event benefits international superstar Lionel Messi's children's charity and could become annual. Messi plays for FC Barcelona and the Argentinian national team. Other players include Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas, Alex Song, Ricky Alvarez, Sergio Busquets, Marek Hamsik, David Luiz, Carlos Bocanegra, Michael Bradley, and Diego Perez.
Although the game is a 'friendly', meaning an exhibition match, the game is being marketed through its rare and astounding collection of superstars. Much like the NFL Pro Bowl or MLB All-Star Game, it will give fans the opportunity to see so many fantastic players on the same field, whereas even the World Cup only shows a few stars per national team. Get your tickets to see the best footballers in the world play together!

A Green Assessment Tool for Formulated Products
Companies' efforts and interest in improving their environmental profiles are giving rise to a new set of related products and services that can be used by various players in a given supply chain. Such is the case of Walmart, which is using "green-scoring" tools to evaluate the products it sells. The tool is being used by Walmart to evaluate consumer products, but it also has potential in evaluating any formulated product, including pharmaceuticals.
Sustainability at Walmart
At its Sustainability Milestone Meeting in July 2009, Walmart announced plans for Sustainable Product Innovation, a tool for merchants, manufacturers, and customers to be used as a source for information on the sustainability of a product. The project involves developing an index, a process that is occurring in several stages, and which the company expects to be completed during the next several years. The first step in developing the index was the distribution of a Supplier Sustainability Assessment to its suppliers. The assessment asked suppliers 15 questions in four areas: energy and climate, natural resources, material efficiency, and people and community. Using the information gained from this initial assessment, Walmart identified suppliers that would be instrumental to the company in achieving its sustainability goals and suppliers that would need more support in building a sustainable business, according to the company.
With the distribution of the Supplier Sustainability Assessment, Walmart became a founding member of the Sustainability Consortium, an independent group of scientists and engineers from academia, government, NGOs, retailers, and industrial companies. The consortium is involved with building and maintaining a global database of information on the life cycle of products. The data will ultimately be used to develop a consumer-facing tool, which will label products with a rating system. Although the rating system is still in discussion, the goal of the system is to allow customers to factor the sustainability of a product into his/her purchasing decision, according to the company.
Marrying sustainability and software
Walmart adopted GreenWERCS in May 2009. Using this green-scoring tool, Walmart found that more than 50% of its products contained no ingredients of concern as identified by the Chemical Intensive Product Sustainable Value Network, which was a positive finding. But the tool also identified products that contained potential ingredients of concern, which created an opportunity to work with suppliers on possible options for improving the environmental profile of those products, according to company information.
In assessing its products, Walmart uses WERCSmart, a supply-chain chemical assessment review program, which provides a system and matrix for evaluating not only the greenness of a formulated product (e.g., cleaning products, automotive products, cosmetics, personal-care products), but also the critical regulatory data needed to safely handle, store, transport, and dispose of such products. WERCS is the third-party authorized by Walmart to conduct the chemical-assessment review process online with suppliers.
The GreenWERCS product analyzes the composition of individual products by leveraging the ingredient data shared by suppliers to examine its potential impact on human health and the environment, explains Lou DeSorbo, president of the WERCS. The assessment uses a pre-identified scoring and weighting algorithm to provide information on the chemical ingredients of the products and indicate whether or not they include persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic substances, carcinogens, mutagens or reproductive toxicants, potential hazardous waste, or probable endocrine disrupters. Once the product formulation is entered into the system, GreenWERCS provides a product's green score, a visual analysis on how the product ranks, and ways to reformulate the product without hazardous chemicals.
"This green scoring provides a benefit to all those involved in a given supply chain," says DeSorbo. "A company selling products is able to systematically and quickly evaluate the greenness or sustainability of a given product and can make an informed decision in deciding which products it may want to stock," he says. "In turn, the supplier receives quantitative information in assessing the sustainability of its products, which in turn can be used by a chemical supplier in evaluating the greenness of the chemicals it supplies. The result is that it provides transparency in the supply chain on the issue of sustainability."
GreenWERCS, as a green-assessment tool, is based on a user-defined configuration. The tool can be used to evaluate the environmental and health profile of any formulated product, including a pharmaceutical product. The WERCS is applying the tool for Walmart based on that company's sustainability criteria, but any company can develop its own algorithms based on a its own sustainability requirements. The WERCS provides the expertise not only in the software configuration and application development, but also in applying its databases of regulatory, safety, chemical, and compliance information to help develop those algorithms.
DeSorbo sees green scoring not only as a tool to evaluate the sustainability of products but ultimately as a competitive advantage. "It is one more factor that a supplier can bring into the equation, along with price, quality, reliability of supply, and the other factors that enter into a customer–supplier relationship."

Incentives are available for high-efficiency, low-emission pellet boiler heating systems in new and existing facilities. A pellet boiler heating system includes a high-efficiency pellet-fired boiler, thermal energy storage, outdoor pellet storage, and necessary control systems. The pellet boiler(s) heating system must be installed in an efficient manner and displace boiler fuel-use at facilities without access to natural gas (such as oil, propane, and coal). Incentives are offered under this large commercial program to offset the installed system costs for systems with thermal output over 300 MBtu/h (88 kW).
*A tandem boiler installation includes two or more smaller pellet boilers rather than one large pellet boiler and can minimize cycling to maintain efficiency, emissions, and maintenance costs in certain installations.
Incentives are based on the installed project costs. 80% of the incentive will be paid based on proof of installation and system commissioning. The remaining 20% will be paid at the end of the Measurement and Verification (M&V) period (up to 12 months) and when acceptable environmental and thermal performance has been achieved.
The qualified pellet heating system must be designed by a qualified designer and installed by a qualified installer to ensure proper boiler system sizing and cost-effective design to maximize efficiency and minimize emissions. For more information see the list of qualified technologies [PDF], designers, and installers. For system eligibility requirements please refer to the Renewable Heat NY Technical Guidance Document for Large Commercial Pellet Boilers [PDF].
Apply through the Consolidated Funding Application.

How Right-Wing Smears Against Occupy Exploit Victims of Rape in the Movement
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
"On the morning of October 29, a woman participating in OWS was sexually assaulted at Liberty Plaza." This was the opening of the November 4 statement released by the NYC survivors' support team (an offshoot of Safer Spaces OWS) responding to a sexual assault that had become a lightning rod within the movement--and for its agenda-laden critics.
In November, those critics of Occupy included Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who used the assault to maneuver toward eviction. Now they include notorious right-wing smear operative Andrew Breitbart, who went on his already infamous "stop raping people!" and "you're filthy animals" rant directed at Occupy-affiliated progressives outside of CPAC and has caused a media firestorm as a result. He has acknowledged that his campaign is part of a smear effort to wreak vengeance on progressives who criticized racism within the Tea Party.
When Emily Crockett, the young woman who took the video, waded into the online discussion, this is what happened:
Breitbart then suggested that I was a rape denier! So did Michelle Fields of the Daily Caller.
Why? Because I dared to suggest that the blame for rape lies with the rapists, not with the places where they live and sleep, and that smearing an entire movement for the actions of a few criminals who infiltrated an encampment is disingenuous and irresponsible.
Even though the encampments and occupations are almost all gone, the subject of OWS and rape has, thanks to Breitbart's campaign, become contentious once again, tossed back and forth most prominently between Breitbart, Keith Olbermann and Markos Moulitsas. The latter two, along with Emily Crockett, are being called "rape deniers" by Breitbart and his minions. Tommy Christopher at Mediaite aptly describes how the issue of women's safety in the movement has been turned into a football between prominent men, without much consideration of what women in the movement actually had to say during that first phase of Occupy.
So let's set the record straight. I have been reporting extensively on the role of women and the Occupy movement since October, and here's what I've found:
- First of all: assaults did occur at a number of the encampments, particularly those which grew exponentially in a short amount of time. It's true that some of the perpetrators weren't seasoned activists but showed up seeking shelter at the camps. However, in an "open-source movement," it's hard to distinguish between "true" occupiers and moochers; this was a challenge organizers faced.
- Second of all, there was a gargantuan effort from within the movement to combat the problem, ranging from creating designated safe spaces to internal security checks to involving law enforcement when victims requested it.
- Thirdly, to smear the entire movement (or any group at all) based on sexual assaults misunderstands the rape epidemic in our culture. We live in a patriarchy in which no space is ever really safe from sexual assault. Many activists understand this in a way that neither law enforcement nor male pundits seem to.
"Although we all believe we are 'like-minded' individuals, activists must be prepared to face ignorance and rape culture, and do everything they can to combat it within the movement," Sarah Armitt, a Brooklyn resident and OWS activist, told me a week before the Zuccotti eviction. "When activists enter a movement, they should be aware that they will still have to deal with the same issues they face externally. It's not all unicorns and rainbows. Education and awareness are key."
Women in the movement face a double-bind: they have to contend with misogyny and assault on the ground, and outsiders like Breitbart and Bloomberg exploiting these incidents to tarnish a movement that they have more claim to then a handful of perpetrators. Some have had to step back from OWS because of these pressures, while others have re-upped their efforts at combining feminism with Occupy.

Best Chiropractor
1) Dr. Richard Carpenos, New England Spine and Disc
You want your chiropractor to be a passionate believer in what they do. Dr. Richard Carpenos is like that. Carpenos had one of those personal experiences that brought him around to his field. "Through my own disc problems in my back, to avoid surgery I started getting revolutionary chiropractic care," he says. "It changed my whole life." His passion for the treatment and for helping people in non-invasive ways has kept him engaged. "I love it more today than I did when I started. It's so rewarding." For whatever reason, many still arrive at chiropractic care only after all the other options have been exhausted, and that's something Carpenos would like to see change. "People will get an injection in their spine, they'll swallow a pill, they'll get an invasive procedure, and when all of that fails they'll come in sheepishly and say, 'What can you do?' That's what gets people sometimes to us: just sheer desperation. We'd like to be the step in between, before that." In part, that's because Carpenos believes we are self-healing, self-regulating creatures. And once the spine is aligned, he's seen many other ailments go away. Another way that Carpenos has found to accelerate our self-healing tendencies is by the use of lasers for non-surgical spinal decompression. Carpenos, who lost 42 pounds last year, is outspoken about the connection between girth and back problems, too. "We don't need any interference to heal, we need less interference," he says.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A defense lawyer for a man who planned a mass shooting at the Washington headquarters of a conservative Christian group says his client should spend 11 1/2 years in prison for the failed plot, not the 45 years government lawyers recommended.
A lawyer for Floyd Corkins II made the recommendation Tuesday in a document filed in federal court in Washington. He argues his client was suffering from a mental illness when he entered a building housing the Family Research Council and shot and wounded a security guard in 2012.
The shooting made news in part because Corkins was carrying 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches and said he intended to smear them in his victims' faces as a political statement.
A judge is scheduled to sentence Corkins on Sept. 19.
