November 28, 2014
RENO, Nev. - Gary Powers has decided to retire as the head coach of the Wolf Pack baseball team.
Powers had a 937-762-5 record in 31 seasons at Nevada. His 937 wins rank 21st among active NCAA Division I coaches.
He was the longest-tenured head coach in the history of the school,
producing17 All-Americans, 146 all-conference players and six conference players of the year. He also saw 79 of his players drafted by Major League Baseball.
He led the program to the NCAA Regionals four times (1994, 1997, 1999 and 2000.) He was named the Conference Coach of the Year three times in the Big West and once earned the WAC Co-Coach of the Year honor.
Powers helped Nevada win a share of the WAC regular season title last year; their final season in the conference.
The Wolf Pack finished the year 25-32 overall this season. They were eliminated by Fresno State on Friday at the Mountain West Conference tournament.

DELRAY BEACH -- Conditions at the Delray Beach Municipal Golf Course have improved considerably over the last six months, according to a United States Golf Association report released last week. But golfers say the course still has a long way to go before it`s up to par.
The quarterly report, written by USGA agronomist John Foy, said the ``overall conditions of the greens at the time of my visit were good.`` The fairways, while improving, are still overrun with weeds, the report said. The tees also have improved, but maintenance of the tees needs to be increased, the report said.

Misako Inaoka
Show Runs August 23 - October 6, 2012
Reception: Friday, September 7, 5-8pm
In revolt against domestication and classification, claw foot ottomans, chotchkies and decoys alike have fused together and run off. Misako Inaoka has frozen them in space and brought them to Johansson Projects in her new show, Back Domain. In her previous zoological gardens, faces gave way to surveillance cameras through a not-so-natural selection. Here, it seems her off-kilter critters have gotten a bit homesick. Technology has been replaced with images of domesticity; where there once was cold metal, now rests cozy damask fabric. Her creatures, taking cues from Inaoka's earlier tumorous toy bestiary, are mounted on walls or hoisted on branches, looking less threatening and more beguiling with their earthy tones, glossy wood, and feathers that morph into twigs. Like Odilon Redon and Louise Bourgeois before her, Inaoka crafts an animal kingdom in which the weirdest possible creature would be an average looking one.

Learn which cell salt your zodiac sign is deficient in and what to eat in order to replace these salts so you can have optimum health!
by Robert Wilkinson
A friend thought the astrological correspondences for the 12 Cell Salts would be an article many would find useful, so welcome to today's subject for consideration. The 12 cell salts are considered to be necessary to our health, and I have found over the years that the salts corresponding to the Ascendant and sign on the 6th house are very important in our biochemical workings.
The Ascendant, of course, represents the physical vehicle and therefore the primary chemical makeup of a person. The sign on the 6th house also shows important factors concerning the physical health, since the 6th represents the health of an individual. I've also found that if a person has a stellium (3 or more planets) in a given sign, that mineral salt needs to be kept in the diet regularly, as do the substances ruled by the Moon sign, since the Moon rules our absorption and is active in our biochemical processes on a constant basis.
Apart from these few suggestions, there are other astrological factors that show our need for various salts. However, thanks to our fascist AMA, there are some strict laws governing what can and cannot be said regarding our health and what substances we might need. Therefore I cannot offer suggestions in this forum as to what you may need.
So that you may get the maximum benefit from this article, in addition to offering you the sign correspondences, I'll also offer you a few foods that are high in certain salts. Obviously there are other foods with these mineral salts in them, so don't confine yourself to what you read here. Please feel free to explore the subject to whatever degree you are called to do so, and if you find that certain salts (or foods) seem beneficial to your health, then by all means find the diet and/or supplements that work for you.
What follows are the astrological correspondences to the cell salts:

Arlington, Va. – Marymount University's men's lacrosse team has announced two schedule changes to its Capital Athletic Conference schedule. The Saints rescheduled a postponed game against St. Mary's (Md.) and switched the time and location of their CAC contest against Wesley.

Marymount's home CAC showdown with Wesley on Wednesday, April 6th, was originally scheduled for an 8:30 p.m. start at Washington-Lee High School in Arlington. That game will now be hosted by Wesley and played in Dover, Del., beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The Saints return to action on Wednesday, March 30th, at CAC rival Mary Washington.

In six seasons with the Washington Nationals, lefty John Lannan made quite a few trips to Citizens Bank Park. Typically, those trips didn't go well.
In eight career outings at Citizens Bank Park, Lannan is 2-5 with a 6.89 ERA with eight homers and 50 hits allowed in 35 innings. Of course, Lannan was facing the Phillies in those games. Saturday, we'll see what a difference switching to the other side makes as the Phillies face the Royals in the middle game of a three-game series.
Phillies lineup:
1.) Ben Revere, cf
2.) Jimmy Rollins, ss
3.) Chase Utley, 2b
4.) Ryan Howard, 1b
5.) Michael Young, 3b
6.) Dom Brown, lf
7.) John Mayberry, rf
8.) Humberto Quintero, c
9.) John Lannan, p
The Phillies will be opposed by Luis Mendoza. Only four players on the roster have faced the Royals' hurler in their careers. Ezequiel Carrera is 1 for 3 against him, Ben Revere is 4 for 13, Jimmy Rollins is 0 for 1 and Chase Utley is 1 for 1.

Billionaire Sprott Says Gold & China To Dominate The World
In the aftermath of another wild week of trading in which the US Dollar Index closed below the key psychological level of 80, today billionaire Eric Sprott told King World News that gold and China will dominate the world going forward. The Canadian billionaire also told KWN that investors would be wise to follow the Chinese in their investments. Below is what Sprott, who is Chairman of Sprott Asset Management, had to say in part II of this remarkably powerful interview series.

October 19, 2013
Sprott: "Most of the things I think are going to happen are all based on facts. You can look at the facts on physical demand for gold and silver. You can look at the facts on government deficits, and you just have to take yourself to where it's going (the end game). And whether it happens in a year or two, it's going to happen....

money and which $7 billion company John Embry &
Dr. Marc Faber oversee click on the logo:
"We've had so many false starts (and promises) -- 'The economy is going to be great in 2010,' and it's not. 'It's going to be great in 2011, 2012, 2013,' and it's not. Now, they are already talking about it being 'great in 2014.' But we are actually regressing, even though they (central planners) don't want to admit it, because the numbers are all manipulated in one way or another.
It will happen that gold will be accepted as the asset to back a (major) currency. And the currency with the most gold behind it, which I suspect is already the Chinese yuan, and growing rapidly, will be the dominant currency going forward. Of course this doesn't portend well for all of the central planners currencies. They (the Chinese) are doing the smart thing by buying real physical assets. So I guess the best way of putting it is, just follow the Chinese, my friend, and you are going to be OK here."
Eric King: "Eric, it is staggering to think that demand (for gold) is twice (global) mine production. It's almost unimaginable."
Sprott: "The numbers speak for themselves. In 2012 I wrote that I can see 2,200 tons of net new buying per year in a market that produced (only) 2,700 tons (of gold). That was back in 2012. Just think, Eric, in the 12 months to August of 2011, China imported something like 100 tons (of gold). Now they import 1,200 (tons of gold). They've increased their tonnage (of gold purchases by a staggering) 1,100 tons.
If the total (world) supply, including recycling is 4,000 (tons), which I highly doubt, that means they've come in and bought an extra 25% of the market. How can somebody come in and buy an extra 25% of the (entire global) market at that same time that the price falls by 30% or 40%? It's just totally ridiculous that it would ever manifest itself that way. If they bought (an additional) 25% of the oil, wheat, or the corn markets, the price would not be going down."

A 27-year-old man was killed and two teenagers were injured in an apparent gang-related shooting at a park in the Back of the Yards neighborhood Saturday, police said.
The shooting happened at 12:53 p.m. in the Davis Square Park playground in the 4400 block of South Paulina.
An 18-year-old man and 16-year-old girl said they were sitting with the victims on concrete steps outside the playground field house when a gunman walked up, shouted and started firing.
"There were five of us just sitting there talking, me and my boyfriend, the older guy . . . and the two other kids," the girl said.
"The guy comes up from behind, shouts, 'Saints killer!' Then he takes out his gun and started shooting at us. My boyfriend threw me on the ground. I heard about seven or eight gunshots, then he ran."
The older man was saying, " 'I'm shot. I'm shot,' she said. "He was shot four times in the back."
He died at Stroger Hospital.
A 14-year-old boy was shot in the stomach and taken to Comer Children's Hospital at the University of Chicago Medical Centers, Police spokesman John Mirabelli said. A 15-year-old boy was shot in the elbow and taken to Mercy Hospital and Medical Center, Mirabelli said.
Both teens were listed in good condition, authorities said.

Environmental Assessment E4462 APR 01, 2013
For African countries looking to sustain and increase their unprecedented growth rates of recent years, the potential of tourism has not been fully recognized as a vital source of economic and development power that can strengthen and expand the continent's economies. ... See More + With a special analysis of 24 tourism case studies from around the world- spanning Sub-Saharan and North Africa, Asia, Central and Latin America, and the Middle East- this report is a sustainable framework for sustainable tourism in Africa. It identifies policies and institutional approaches for African countries to make tourist industries more competitive and attractive to new investment. The study shows how tourism in Thailand barely existed in the 1960s and yet 40 years later, it employs 15 to 20 percent of the country's workforce; Cancun in Mexico grew from an uninhabited peninsula into one of the most visited resorts in the world in just 35 years. Mozambique has managed a seemingly impossible transformation of its tourism industry. While the benefits of tourism development are many, the possible approaches and strategies for development number even more. This work analyzes persistent constraints and how to resolve them through policy and business reforms that have unleashed tourism potential across other regions of the world. To become competitive worldwide, African governments and the private sector must work together in planning tourism infrastructure, promotion and financing. This report is the first to comprehensively examine tourism in Africa regionally and recommend practical, evidence-based measures enabling the sector's economic and development power. This gives new impetus to the continent's development progress by leveraging tourism in pursuit of lasting poverty alleviation and significantly more jobs and opportunity for all Africans. This report identifies policies and institutional approaches to improve the tourism competitiveness of African countries so they can move up the pyramid. It clearly explains the opportunities and challenges that tourism offers and suggests tourism competitiveness strategies based on tourism economic success stories from across the world. See Less -

This note uses a value chain perspective to show how the cost of complying with regional trade requirements affects agriculture competitiveness and rural incomes. ... See More + On the one hand, phytosanitary rules, product standards, and certification procedures are important to protect human, animal, and plant health. These requirements also help to improve buyer and seller confidence in international markets and can be useful for trade facilitation. Equally, however, it is also clear that every inspection and certification procedure adds to the total cost of trade to the point where trade requirements can become a trade barrier if the policies are not well designed or are poorly implemented. The recent proliferation of mandatory standards for food staples in East Africa is a good example of this where regulators have introduced various product specifications that have little or no bearing on public health and mainly relate to milling outturn and private financial returns.

Brief 72848 JUL 01, 2012
Keyser, John
Water is increasingly becoming a limiting factor for sustainable economic growth and development in many countries. Its allocation has significant impacts on overall economic efficiency, particularly with growing physical scarcity in certain regions. ... See More + Greater water supply variability further increases vulnerability in affected regions. Water also has become a strategic resource involving conflicts among those who may be affected differently by various policies. This paper analyzes various policy interventions aimed at improving water allocation decisions, using a novel approach that incorporates macro and micro level considerations in a unified analytical framework. The framework facilitates assessment of various linkages among policies and their impacts within individual sectors and economy-wide. Drawing on country based studies in Morocco, South Africa, Turkey, and Mexico, the analysis reveals difficult tradeoffs among various policy objectives, including priorities placed on different sectors, regional advantages, and general economic efficiency gains versus broader social impacts. The comparison of policy impacts demonstrates the usefulness of the framework in information that policy makers can use to rank the policy interventions according to the emphasis placed on different policy objectives. The paper also compares approaches used in other studies that apply computable general equilibrium models in various contexts of water, environment and agriculture. See Less -
Policy Research Working Paper WPS6068 MAY 01, 2012
Dinar, Ariel
Mozambique, the only Lusophone country covered in the agribusiness indicators initiative, has had a turbulent history since independence. Civil unrest over some 20 years and frequent drought in southern Mozambique, coupled with floods near the many waterways that transect the country (mainly east-west), have inhibited an agricultural transformation. ... See More + Even so, Mozambique could be a regional breadbasket. The country has much potentially usable arable land, along with access to river water for irrigation in many agricultural production zones, particularly in central and northern Mozambique. Sesame, pigeon peas, and cashew exports are significant and rising, not to mention exports of industrial crops such as cotton, leaf tobacco, and sugarcane, yet production of grain and most other food crops remains stagnant. Irrigated area is way below what is possible and needed to increase yields and total agricultural output. See Less -
Other Agricultural Study 68241 APR 01, 2012
Swaziland and Lesotho have the highest HIV prevalence in the world. They also share another distinct feature: during the last century, they sent a large numbers of migrant workers to South African mines. ... See More + This paper examines whether participation in mining in a bordering country affects HIV infection rate. A job in the mines means leaving for long periods away from their families and living in an area with an active sex industry. This creates potential incentives for multiple, concurrent partnerships. Using Demographic and Health Surveys, the analysis shows that migrant miners ages 30-44 are 15 percentage points more likely to be HIV positive, and women whose partner is a migrant miner are 8 percentage points more likely to become infected. The study also shows that miners are less likely to abstain or use condoms, and female partners of miners are more likely to engage in extramarital sex. The authors interpret these results as suggesting that miners' migration into South Africa has increased the spread of HIV/AIDS in their countries of origin. Consistent with this interpretation, the association between HIV infection and being a miner or a miner's wife are not statistically significant in Zimbabwe, a country where the mining industry is local and does not involve migrating to South Africa.

de Walque, Damien; Corno, Lucia
Doing business sheds light on how easy or difficult it is for a local entrepreneur to open and run a small to medium-size business when complying with relevant regulations. ... See More + It measures and tracks changes in regulations affecting 10 areas in the life cycle of a business: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency. In a series of annual reports doing business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 183 economies, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, over time. This economy profile presents the doing business indicators for the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). To allow useful comparison, it also provides data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2011 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period January-December 2010). See Less -
Working Paper 65617 JAN 01, 2012
Infrastructure improvements boosted growth in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) by 1.2 percentage points per capita per year during 1995-2005, mainly from access to mobile telephony. ... See More + Road network improvements made small growth contributions, while power sector inadequacy had a negative impact. Infrastructure improvements that matched those of Mauritius, the regional leader, could boost regional growth performance by 3 percentage points. SADC's 15 member countries include small, isolated economies with island states, a mix of low- and middle-income countries, and larger countries with potentially large economies. The economic geography reinforces the importance of regional infrastructure development to create a larger market and greater economic opportunities. The region's infrastructure indicators are high for Africa. The regional road network is well-developed, and surface transport is comparatively cheap, but subject to delays and long-haul fees. An extensive railway system competes directly with road transport. With integration and improvements, SADC's ports could form an effective transshipment network. Air transport, dominated by South Africa, is the best in Africa. Electricity in southern Africa is well developed; the region leads Africa in generation capacity and low rates, but access is limited. ICT services are the most accessible among the regions, though expensive. Landlocked countries still need to be connected, and greater competition is needed to reduce costs. Completing and maintaining SADC's infrastructure will require $2.1 billion annually for a decade. For small countries, and large countries with small revenues, the burden may be insurmountable without external assistance. See Less -
Policy Research Working Paper WPS5898 DEC 01, 2011
Foster, Vivien; Ranganathan, Rupa
This paper investigates the take-up rate or claim-waiting period rate of the unemployed under the South African Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) system. ... See More + The goal is to identify disincentive effects that income replacement rates (IRR) and accumulated credits may have on the claimant's behavior in terms of their claim waiting period rate (or how quickly they apply for UIF benefits). Utilizing nonparametric and semi-parametric estimation techniques, we find that there is little evidence, if any, for job disincentives or moral hazard problems. More specifically, the majority of claimants that are quickest to claim the UIF benefits are those who have worked continuously for at least four years and accumulated the maximum allowable amount of credits. The authors also note that claimants' waiting periods are indifferent with regard to levels of income replacements yet extremely sensitive to the amount of credits accumulated. Ultimately, the recipients of the UIF benefits do not rely heavily on the replacement incomes and prefer waiting longer for employment opportunities as opposed to exhausting their accumulated credits. The semi-parametric Cox's Proportional Hazard (PH) model confirms that there is a positive relationship between the claimant's accumulation of credits and the associated take-up rate of the UIF.

Working Paper 72599 AUG 01, 2011
Bhorat, Haroon; David Tseng
Employment issues are the most serious problems facing South Africa currently. Among these are the problems of unemployment, as well as underemployment or lack of decent work for the already employed, compounded by labour markets that are generally less than efficient in job search and matching. ... See More + Unemployment in South Africa, by narrow standards, is approximately 25 percent, an extraordinarily high level, made even more worrying by its stagnancy or growth at different times over the past decade. However, although such levels of unemployment have detrimental effects on all members of society, they do affect groups differentially. Thus, unemployment rates are consistently, significantly higher for women, Africans, people from rural areas, and the less educated. Unemployment is highest, too, amongst the youth in South Africa, and much higher than international norms, despite rising unemployment amongst youth globally in the past decade. In South Africa, youth is officially defined as people aged between 14 and 35 years old; however, this is not in line with international definitions, which usually demarcate the 16 to 24 year old group. The aim of this paper is therefore to shed some light on the employment process of young South Africans and to investigate firm level responses to the implementation of a targeted hiring voucher for young job seekers aged 20-24. The first section of the paper outlines the conceptual framework used to investigate factors that determine employment of young workers and the impact of a targeted wage subsidy. The second section presents findings from a firm survey illustrating the firm characteristics that are associated with employing young workers and responses to a hypothetical wage voucher. The third section discusses the findings in the light of the theory while the fourth section concludes. See Less -

Schoer, Volker; Rankin, Neil
The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Southern Africa Office of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) working under the Regional Economic Communities Transport Coordinating Committee (REC-TCC) established under the leadership of the Sub- Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP) have identified vehicle overload control as one of the priority areas. ... See More + This paper is the third in a series of three publications dedicated to the overwhelming problem of overloaded vehicles damaging roads throughout Africa. The first paper presented the overall problem and related guidelines on developing sound and sustainable control measures based on lessons learned. These lessons learned captured in the second volume are from experiences collected in Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Botswana, four countries where some good practices are emerging that could serve as a platform for wider replication in the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) region. The selection of these countries to be used as case studies was based on a previous survey carried out in some 18 countries representing four Regional Economic Communities (SADC, COMESA, ECOWAS and CEMAC).

Pinard, Michael Ian
The delivery of impact mitigation services has not kept pace with the severity and breadth of HIV related impacts in Swaziland. It has become increasingly clear that the emphasis on short term emergency response initiatives must give way to long-term initiatives to help Swaziland cope with the impacts. ... See More + As a key step in the roll-out of a more coherent and effective impact mitigation response of greater relevance, the National Emergency Response Council on HIV/AIDS (NERCHA) wants to commission a periodic Quality of Impact Mitigation Survey (QIMS) to measure the quality, relevance, and comprehensiveness of impact mitigation services.

Other Health Study 68749 JAN 01, 2011
The causes and consequences of foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing countries remains a subject of debate among researchers and policymakers alike. ... See More + The authors use international data and a new micro-data set of firms in thirteen Southern African Developing Countries (SADCs) to investigate the benefits and determinants of FDI in this region. FDI appears to have facilitated local development in the SADC region. Foreign firms tend to perform better than domestic firms, tend to be larger, are located in richer and better-governed countries and in countries with more competitive financial intermediaries, and they are more likely to export than domestic firms. They also exhibit positive spillover effects to domestic firms. Relying on a standard model to predict the country-level FDI inflows per capita, the authors find that SADC is attracting their expected level of FDI inflows, at least relative to its income level, human capital, demographic structure, institutions, and economic track record. There are some differences between SADC and the rest of the world in FDI behavior: in SADC, the income level is less important and openness more so. The authors use two comparison groups to compare with SADC to shed light on why other regions have attracted more FDI per capita than SADC. The factors that explain SADCs low FDI inflows are economic fundamentals (e.g., previous growth rates, average income, phone density, and the adult share of population). See Less -

This paper's objective is to focus on the fiscal dimension of HIV/AIDS, in order to highlight and assess fiscal policy challenges arising from the response to HIV/AIDS, to assist countries in selecting HIV/AIDS-related policies, and decide on resource allocations in a sustainable manner. ... See More + Some of the analysis in this paper builds on differences in economic, social, and medical conditions, among those countries most affected by HIV/AIDS. However, many of the fiscal aspects of HIV/AIDS can adequately be addressed only in country-specific studies, as they adopt a much richer epidemiological and fiscal framework. Three country studies (Botswana, South Africa, and Swaziland) are provided. The report concludes that the analysis should catalyze policy dialogue in the three countries, concerning long-term financial sustainability of national HIV/AIDS programs, the exploration of innovative financing, program efficiency, allocation of resources, and effectiveness. The analysis will also help coordinate program components of prevention, treatment and care and support. See Less -

The use of mobile banking is an increasingly important component of national and regional economic development in Southern Africa. Mobile banking can help bring the large unbanked population into the formal financial sector, and can facilitate cross-border trade by easing the difficulty for small businesses and traders to make financial transactions. ... See More + For mobile banking to reach its full potential in Southern Africa, however, African governments must establish more efficient regulatory frameworks and implement well-designed pilot programs to gain more insight into the challenges facing a full rollout of mobile banking.

2010 Mazda3 to hit U.S. dealers in March
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Jan 23rd, 2009 at 4:58PM
In a bit of good news for those currently in the market for a new compact car, Jim O'Sullivan, president and CEO of Mazda's North American Operations, says that the redesigned 2010 Mazda3 is just now starting to show up in U.S. ports and is on schedule for a March sale date.

As before, the new Mazda3 will be available in both sedan and hatchback form, with the choice of a 2.0L four-cylinder that offers 148 hp and 135 lb-ft of torque and a larger 2.5L four... Read More

The violence and shooting outside the Elks Club early Saturday morning is not new for next door neighbor restaurant, Fellini's.
"Millers, Whiskey Jar, me - no ones allowed to do that, why is it okay for them?" Fellini's owner, Jaclynn Dunkle says.
The owner of Fire Fish Gallery across the street says she called her landlord today to see what kinds of things she can do about the situation. She plans on starting a petition.
One thing they all agree on is something needs to change, but how?
"I am gonna take some action, somehow. With the city, with other business owners...with ABC, the alcohol board. What do we have to do to prevent this from happening again?" Dunkle said.
City Council members say right now they can only keep their ear to the street and wait for what police find during the investigation.
But local attorney, Scott Goodman says the State Alcoholic Beverage Control can do their own investigation.
"They have agents who investigate establishments that attract trouble or where trouble is caused repeatedly outside a certain establishment," Goodman said. "They can investigate whether or not there is some connection to the alcohol that's being served at this particular location and the behavior that takes place outside on the street."
A former Virginia ABC Board member says there is one law that any citizen of any county, town or city can bring to court. It's called 'Common Nuisance Law'. It says that decent good order is being ruined by the particular establishment and it could result in the court shutting down the business.
Sigrid Eilertson, owner of Fire Fish Gallery, says she doesn't necessarily want it closed down because the club is an important part of Charlottesville history, especially being part of Vinegar Hill.
But she says it's not only a problem for her customers and artists, it's a whole community safety issue and image issue for the city.

You would be most welcome, Simon. And I'd love to work with you on a Working Group. I respect your expertise.

All W3C standards are published for public review before they proceed to become recommendations, and this public review is taken seriously. The W3C is also quite interested in promoting open source implementations. I think that it is very important to have our technical content reviewed.
On the other hand, I don't know that asking XML-DEV to audit our internal political structure and mailing list archives would serve any purpose.
There may be good reasons for less confidentiality, but confidentiality is not inherently evil. The W3C is a member organization. It is accountable to its 466 members, who are cooperating to create standards. These standards are also made available to the general public.
The United Nations does not make all of its internal correspondence available to the general public either. Nor do most charitable institutions, or most corporations. If a corporation brings in an external group to perform an audit, it is not usually a public mailing list. You imply that confidentially is inherently evil. I just don't believe that.

'It's a case of finders, beekeepers'
WDEL's Peter MacArthur talks with WTOP
NEWARK, Del. (AP) -- Delaware transportation officials on Wednesday warned motorists along Interstate 95 near Wilmington to keep their car windows closed and avoid unnecessary stops because of honeybee swarms unleashed by the crash of a tractor trailer carrying 460 hives.
The ramp to I-95 in Newark reopened more than 12 hours after the rig carrying an estimated 16 million to 20 million bees crashed Tuesday. Crews were spraying foam in the area to contain the swarms.
"There's still some bees out there," said state police spokesman Sgt. Paul Shavack.
The accident prompted state police to activate for the first time a honeybee swarm removal plan that was established in 1995, Shavack said.
"It worked really well," he said.
The plan, which was updated in March, involves a response network of beekeepers statewide. Three beekeepers from New Castle County responded to the scene after Tuesday's accident. The initial response including using fire hoses to tamp down the swarms.
Shavack said he was told that the bees were being transported from Florida to Maine to assist in blueberry production.
The driver of the truck, Adolfo Guerra, 55, of Miami, was cited for unsafe shifting of load or cargo.
Guerra, his son, and another passenger were taken to Christiana Hospital for treatment of minor injuries from the crash and multiple bee stings.

Caption: Different from the traditional formation control method, the novel trophallaxis network control uses the trophallaxis network to carry out real-time data acquisition and processing. Each UAV obtains a control sequence based on the task commands and its own state, and transfers underlying information to the trophallaxis network. The exchange and sharing of information between UAVs are reinforced by the trophallaxis network. This network mechanism can also be applied to the formation flight of unmanned ground vehicles, satellites and unmanned underwater vehicles.

A live-action film was reportedly in the works a few years ago, but the deal between producers Don Murphy, Susan Montford, and Cartoon Network fell through. Now THR reports that Sony is in final negotiations to pick up the project, with Mark Gordon joining Murphy and Montford in producing. There are no other details at this stage as writers and directors still need to be hired, but one can assume the basic premise will remain intact.
Considering all of the attention of late on environmental disasters, the danger of the Keystone Pipeline, and energy independence, this is probably the best time to try and launch a Captain Planet franchise. If Sony is smart, they'll know the only guy to play Captain Planet is Don Cheadle.

Adult Son with Aspergers Felt Like Burden
For the past several years he has attempted suicide, in part it was because he felt he was a burden on us and if he ended his life it would end our burden. He was put in a institution for a short period of time. He told us once he got home, he knew what to do and what to say in order to get out and return home. He still was depressed and continued to see his therapist and talked of ending his life. He starved himself, took over the counter drugs and stole a gun, in which he never used, but thought about it and ended up hiding it from himself. About 8 months ago, he said he was no longer suicidal. He told me he was still a burden to us and we would be better off without him. I tried to explain how much his dad and I love him, but he didn`t seem to understand. We were planning a move to a different state where we felt that services for those with aspergers were better then where we currently live. He told me that it was to much of a hardship for us to pick up and move and he didn`t want us to make such a sacrifice for him. We again tried to explain that as his parents we would do anything for him, including moving so he could have a better quality of life where there are support groups and other services to help him with his aspergers. He told me that he was going to leave and cut off all communication with us as well as do everything wrong that he could, this way we wouldn`t worry about him and wouldn`t know if he were dead or alive and we wouldn`t care either and because of him doing wrong we wouldn`t want him to ever come home and wouldn`t care what happens to him. One day we, his dad and I went to church, came home to find that he had packed some of his things and left. His therapist put out an APB on him. The next morning he contacted us, he had stopped on the side of the road to sleep. We told him of the APB and explained what that meant. He decided he would go to his Grandparents home in AZ, we live in WY. He did go there, for a few weeks, he left their home as well. He has cut off all communication with us and all family, including aunts, cousins, grandparents. He is doing just what he said he was going to do, break off communication so we wouldn`t worry about him. Unfortunately it has caused great concern for us and other family members. He will be 26 in January. Is this just another way of them trying to find their place in life? Is this another way of not being able to handle things? He is renting a room in a home in the same small town in AZ as his Grandparents, he is still on disability and gets a good size check every month, he is also working at Walmart in the produce department part time. He is taking a PE and math class at college. Those are good things that he is accomplishing. He still ignores bills as bill collectors call me looking for him. We have talked to him very little since he left and he will only text sometimes. There was an issue with his auto insurance, he had decided that he was going to buy a new car in a few months and therefore did not what to pay insurance on his current car, he did communicate some with us regarding the issue of not paying your insurance and what can happen if you don`t. I need some help to try to understand why he would leave and stop talking to us. This is a difficult thing for us as his parents. The suicide attempts were about all I could handle, this isn`t any easier to deal with. Someone said go get him and bring him home. What would that accomplish? He would take his life if we were to drag him back. Any help you can be will be greatly appreciated.
A child with any kind of disability multiplies the angst that any parent goes through with any child leaving the nest. If the adult child is obviously incompetent, a parent might apply for guardianship. In this case it sounds like this young man is making some positive moves to take responsibility for himself, albeit with many mistakes. One of the difficult tasks any parent faces is to allow the child to make enough mistakes to learn from them.And at some point, the parent has to let go. This is taking a chance, of course; he might do something disastrous, e.g., resulting in death, jail, or other undesirable outcomes. But attempting to hold on and protect carries its own risks, as you point out.Parents in situations like this should seek some professional counseling for their own grief, disappointment, anxiety, guilt feelings,and worry. Only after resolving some of those emotional entanglements will you be able to decide on a reasonable course of action --or decide that it might be better not to act.

Vampire Diaries: SEXY Ian Somerhalder strips naked for bathtub photo shoot!
Well it would seem that Vampire Dairies star Ian Somerhalder is showing his ex girlfriend and co-star Nina Dobrev, just what she is missing by stripping naked for a photo shoot taken in a bathtub!
Or maybe he is just trying to promote himself to the casting officials working on the Fifty Shades of Grey movie….
Somerhalder, who split with Dobrev earlier this year reportedly over her lack of enthusiasm over marriage, can be seen in a series of images taken by photographer Butch Hogan, shirtless, and in some cases completely naked!
In one he can be seen in bed with a sheet covering his lap, eating Chinese food out of a carton with chopsticks and in another he is zoomed in on topless in a rather lush type of head shot.
In another he can be seen posing naked, whilst tastefully protecting his dignity, in a bath tub whilst drinking from a bottle of beer, and in the last the camera is zoomed in on him laying back in the bath, with only his head and chest in shot.
Since his split with Dobrev the pair have been catching headlines with both of them linked to roles in the movie version of E.L James novel, Fifty Shades of Grey.
Somerhalder recently spoke out about the rumours that he was to star in the film, commenting to Metro:
"One can never get bored of people asking about a huge project.
"Everyone has to realise every guy in Hollywood is up for this role. It could be anyone – that's how that goes."
Meanwhile a source said that Somerhalder and his ex, and Vampire Diaries co-star Dobrev are "consummate professionals" and "will continue to work together and remain best friends, which is where the relationship started".

Melton enjoying view from the topPosted by on November 15, 2012 – 1:55 pm
When the NFL released fan balloting results for the Pro Bowl Wednesday, Henry Melton was happy to see that he's currently the leading vote-getter among NFC defensive tackles.
"I saw that on Twitter," Melton said. "I got a little excited like a little kid. But you can't let it go to your head and you can't get too excited about it. It's still early and there are a lot of games left to be played."
After recording a career-high seven sacks last season in his first full year as a starter, Melton has continued to make impact plays while performing with more consistency in 2012. He has registered five sacks and two forced fumbles while compiling 23 tackles, the most by a Bears defensive lineman.
"It's really just another year underneath my belt and getting with my coaches and watching how the veterans prepare and take the season," Melton said. "It's been eye-opening to see where I've come from, and it's just a great feeling at the moment."
As a running back at Texas, Melton rushed for 432 yards and 10 touchdowns as a freshman, helping the Longhorns win the national championship. He was later moved to the defensive line as a junior.
"You've got to have quick feet playing running back, just like it showed last week where they're cutting and diving at your legs and you've got to stay on your feet to make a play," Melton said. "That's where it's really helped me."

23.03.2008: The UX Tools You Can't Live Without
Category: tools Posted by: cornelius Discuss: view comments Views: 1167
Some people (like me) still prefer 'old school' paper prototyping, card sorting, Visio wireframes and xHTML (for high-fidelity prototyping). However, in my current project I'm managing a UI team of 10, and since joining the project I've been forced to use iRise 6.x for client-relationship reasons, which brings up the title question of this post. There have been many opinions out there about the use of UX-specific tools (such as Axure, iRise, Denim, etc.) and I wonder if there's any consensus out there as far as what works well and what doesn't.Tags: UX tools

The ability to build your muscles faster is a dream or desire that most weightlifters have. If you are into professional bodybuilding, the ability to build and maintain muscle mass is absolutely imperative. With the vast assortment of supplements that are available for purchase on the web, and that your local store, it's hard to tell which one will actually produce the best results. If you read the testimonials of those that have actually tried Syntha 6, it is definitely a motivating factor. Here are the reasons why Syntha 6 has been able to help so many people consistently build muscle mass better than most of the other products available today.
What Is In Syntha 6?
Syntha6 is a blend of six types of protein that are specifically designed to digest both quickly and slowly. The blend itself includes ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate, calcium caseinate and micellar caseinate to name a few. It also contains something called aminogen which is a digestive enzyme that can help with digesting the proteins without getting an upset stomach. Different than whey protein isolates on the market, which actually dissolve much more easily in water, it is designed specifically to provide time released protein dispersal into the bloodstream, thus helping your muscles build at a much more consistent rate. There are only 6 g of total fat per serving, and only 2 g of sugars. It also has only 200 calories with each serving, which will help prevent adipose cells from building in your gut. Now let's look at where you can get the best prices for this supplement that so many people are using today.
Best Prices For Syntha 6
If you go to your local GNC, you're probably going to pay a little bit more than you would on the web. On the Internet, there are many different vendors that sell this product, each marketing it at similar prices. You will simply have to choose a vendor that you trust, and place your initial order. The only way you will know if it is going to work better than a combination of creatine and whey protein is to try it out for yourself. All of the testimonials that you will read online are very impressed with this product. If generating massive muscle gains from your workout is important to you, you should certainly give this supplement a try to see how it can help you build muscle mass more efficiently than ever before.
A great resource for buying it is http://supplementheaven.com/syntha-6/
