I'm just getting settled into my new Habitat theme. I really enjoy the aesthetics of the design and look forward to using it over the long term.
Thus far I've encountered one issue with the theme that I'm interested in finding a solution for. When clicking the "Home" button on my website, or when clicking the browser refresh button in Opera 10.63, FireFox 3.6.13, and Internet Explorer 8, the League Gothic font elements on my site briefly revert to an alternative font style. This font change process is quick and lasts maybe half a second before reverting back to League Gothic, however it creates "text bounce" that is tedious on the eyes after encounter it several times. The issue also gives off an aura of website instability.
Is there a way that I can keep this brief font revert / text bounce from occurring?
My fresh launched site:
January 29, 2011 at 9:41 am #39756Hey,
January 29, 2011 at 1:33 pm #39757Thank you for the reply.
Is it possible to replace the League Gothic font with a more standardized style (e.g. Veranda, Tahoma, etc.)? If I were to do that (assuming it's possible), would that then solve the brief font revert issue that I'm experiencing.
January 31, 2011 at 8:28 am #39758Yes you can use standard web fonts but you need to remove cufon first. Open up header.php and remove following line:
$k_option['custom']['styling']->set_cufon_font($applyCustomFontTo, $k_option['general']['font_heading']);
Then open up style.css and search for following code:
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, legend, .sliderheading {
padding:0px 1px;
font-family: Tahoma, Tahoma, Helvetica;
}Change the font family attribute to your requirements…
January 31, 2011 at 7:26 pm #39759Thank you so much for the info! I made the quick and easy change over.

Submission + - Nuke Lab + Supercomputers = Truth Behind Tunguska (popularmechanics.com)
malachiorion writes: It's no Roswell, but the Tunguska event, a June 30, 1908, explosion that cleared an 800-sq.-mi. swath of Siberian forest, remains a hot topic for the X-Files set. Was it a UFO crash? An alien weapons test? Now, Sandia National Laboratories has released its own explanation for the event. Using supercomputers to create a 3D simulation of the explosion, the Department of Energy-funded nuke lab determined that Tunguska was, indeed, the result of a relatively small asteroid. Even if you don't care in the slightest, the terrifying simulation videos are well worth checking out.

The pGEM-T is 3kb in length, and contains the amplicin resistance gene, conferring selection of the plasmid in E. coli, and the ori site which is the bacterial origin of replication. The plasmid has multiple cloning sites as shown below. The coding sequence was inserted by TA cloning. Many E. coli strains are suitable for the propagation of this vector including JM109, DH5α and TOP10.
The coding sequence can be easily obtained by digesting the vector with proper restriction enzyme(s). The coding sequence can also be amplified by PCR with M13 primers, or primer pair SP6 and T7.

The cluster of differentiation (CD) system is commonly used as cell markers in immunophynotyping. Different kinds of cells in the immune system can be identified through the surface CD molecules which associating with the immune function of the cell. There are more than 320 CD unique clusters and subclusters have been identified. Some of the CD molecules serve as receptors or ligands important to the cell through initiating a signal cascade which then alter the behavior of the cell. Some CD proteins do not take part in cell signal process but have other functions such as cell adhesion. CD7 is a transmembrane protein which is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. This protein is found on thymocytes and mature T cells. It plays an essential role in T-cell interactions and also in T-cell / B-cell interaction during early lymphoid development.

Washington, DC–Across the country, the American people are struggling under the weight of incompetent Bush Republican policies, and they are looking to the Congress for help. Democratic Senators Kent Conrad, Joe Lieberman, and Barack Obama today called on Bush Republicans in the Senate to put aside their partisan legislative agenda in favor of much-needed legislation to address the immediate priorities of the American people.
Gas prices are skyrocketing, health care costs are rising, and college tuition is fast becoming too expensive for middle-class families to afford. Unfortunately, in Washington, D.C., Bush Republicans aren't paying attention. After devoting the Senate's time to a constitutional amendment that even its supporters conceded had no hope of passage, Republicans in the Senate plan to provide $1 trillion in tax breaks to the very wealthiest Americans. Sadly, they plan to offer nothing for the majority of hardworking families who are struggling to get by. A fact check on the effects of full repeal of the estate tax is attached to this release.
"In Connecticut last week I heard from my constituents about the many real challenges they face today and about what they priorities they want us to tackle in Congress–surging gas prices, skyrocketing health care costs that are bankrupting families and businesses alike, an uncertain economic and employment climate, and increasing college tuition," said Senator Lieberman. "Instead, the Republican Senate leadership is using up our legislative calendar to try to push through legislation to assure that the very wealthiest estates will get a multimillion dollar tax break. This is exactly the kind of partisan, election year politics that has caused so many Americans, who want their elected representatives to tackle the problems that directly affect their lives, to lose faith in the direction of our government."
"Let's call this trillion-dollar giveaway what it is – the Paris Hilton Tax Break," said Senator Obama. "It's about giving billions of dollars to billionaire heirs and heiresses at a time when American taxpayers just can't afford it."
Democrats believe the American people deserve better, and after five years of Bush Republican incompetence it's time for a real change. Democrats have comprehensive plans to make America energy independent, to ensure our nation's security, and to make health care and education affordable and accessible. Bush Republicans have shown that their priorities do not include the pressing concerns of the American people. It's time for a new direction.
Bush Republicans continue to focus on their wrong priorities by pursuing full repeal of the estate tax, a tax break for the Paris Hiltons of the world. This unnecessary and expensive tax break for the very wealthiest Americans will cost $1 trillion in new debt in order to provide a tax break to those who don't need it.
Estate Tax Repeal Will Create $1 Trillion in New Debt. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities has computed the cost of full repeal for the first full ten years it is effective. "Making permanent the repeal of the estate tax after 2010 — as proposed by the President and as passed by the House last year — would add nearly $1 trillion to the deficit between fiscal years 2012 and 2021, the first ten years in which the full costs of extending repeal would be reflected in the budget. This cost includes $776 billion of lost revenues and $213 billion of higher interest payments on the national debt." [Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 6/5/06]
Only a Small Number of Farms and Small Businesses Pay Any Estate Tax at All. The Congressional Budget Office found that only a very small number of family farms and family-owned small businesses would pay any estate tax at all under the 2009 rate. Only 123 family-owned farms and 135 family-owned small businesses would pay any estate tax at all under the $2 million exemption. At the 2009 level of $3.5 million, those numbers will further decrease to 65 and 94, respectively. [Congressional Budget Office, 7/05]
Reasonable Reform Protects All But the Most Wealthy Inheritors. Estates don't pay the estate tax until their net assets exceed the exemption levels. For 2006, the exemption level is $2 million or $4 million for a couple. Those exemptions will increase to $3.5 million, or $7 million per couple, in 2009. At those levels, 99.7% of all estates would pay absolutely no estate tax. [Congressional Budget Office, 7/05]
Small Businesses May Fare Worse Under Estate Tax Repeal. Under the tax rules for small business, most will pay more tax under the repeal of the estate tax. Today, inherited assets receive a stepped-up basis which reduces the income tax paid when heirs ultimately sell them. Under repeal heirs will receive "carryover basis" in the assets they inherit which will increase the income tax they pay on any subsequent sale. According to an analysis prepared by the Small Business Council of America, "in reality repeal of the estate tax will actually harm most small business owners because of the loss in the step-up in basis." [Small Business Council of America, 4/14/04]
18 Super Wealthy Families are Financing the Effort to Repeal the Estate Tax. "The multimillion-dollar lobbying effort to repeal the federal estate tax has been aggressively led by 18 super-wealthy families, according to a report released today by Public Citizen and United for a Fair Economy at a press conference in Washington, D.C. The report details for the first time the vast money, influence and deceptive marketing techniques behind the rhetoric in the campaign to repeal the tax. It reveals how 18 families worth a total of $185.5 billion have financed and coordinated a 10-year effort to repeal the estate tax, a move that would collectively net them a windfall of $71.6 billion."

In a matter of hours now, we'll be ripping off the masking tape here and reverting the Festblog back to the Lehigh Valley Music Blog.
We wrap up our coverage on a somber note, however — recalling 26-year Musikfest volunteer Eleanor M. Laubach, who died Saturday after falling and breaking her hip at Festplatz earlier in the week. Read the story by my colleague Pam Lehman, who talked with some of Laubach's friends and fellow volunteers about her energy and near-constant volunteer work.
Because we've been blogging at a furious pace here for the past 12 days or so, you might easily have missed something unless you were constantly checking in. So, here's a list of all 75 posts (!!) we've published here since before the start of Musikfest; use it to find out what you missed or look back at your favorites.
Thanks for sticking with us! And we'll blog to you again next year.

JOHN J. MOSER has been around long enough to have seen the original Ramones in a small club in New Jersey, U2 from the fourth row of a theater and Bob Dylan's born-again tours. But he also has the number for All-American Rejects' Nick Wheeler on his cell phone, wrote the first story ever done on Jack's Mannequin and hung out in Wiz Khalifa's hotel room.
JODI DUCKETT: As The Morning Call's assistant features editor responsible for entertainment, she spends a lot of time surveying the music landscape and sizing up the Valley's festivals and club scene. She's no expert, but enjoys it all — especially artists who resonated in her younger years, such as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Tracy Chapman, Santana and Joni Mitchell.
KATHY LAUER-WILLIAMS enjoys all types of music, from roots rock and folk to classical and opera. Music has been a constant backdrop to her life since she first sat on the steps listening to her mother's Broadway LPs when she was 2. Since becoming a mother herself, she has become well-versed on the growing genre of kindie rock and, with her son in tow, can boast she has seen a majority of the current kid's performers from Dan Zanes to They Might Be Giants.
STEPHANIE SIGAFOOS: A Jersey native raised in Northeast PA, she was reared in a house littered with 8-tracks, 45s and cassette tapes of The Beatles, Elvis, Meatloaf and Billy Joel. She also grew up on the sounds of Reba McEntire, Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw and can be found traversing the countryside in search of the sounds of a steel guitar. A fan of today's 'new country,' she digs mainstream/country-pop crossovers like Lady Antebellum and Sugarland and other artists that illustrate the genre's diversity.

Breakout sessions were part of the College of Education's Open House.
About 50 future teachers, counselors and school administrators explored how Sacramento States College of Education can prepare them for their careers Feb. 13 at the Colleges Open House. The event was intended to raise awareness in the campus community about the programs and services the College provides future educators. The Colleges six departments hosted breakout sessions to highlight the programs available for students preparing for their education careers, including undergraduate majors and minors, teaching, administrative, counseling and school psychology credentials, several M.A. and M.S. programs, and an education doctorate. Student Amber Kantner said the Open House proved useful. I want to be a teacher, and I just found out about SCTA, which does lots of things, she said, referring to the Student California Teachers Association, an arm of the statewide teachers organization that hosts events and offers services to education students. Primarily, says associate dean Pia Wong, the Open House helped students familiarize themselves with the many ways the College of Education can prepare them for careers in a range of education professions. They will also become more aware of upcoming deadlines and other important information about the application process, she says. The College of Education consists of the departments of bilingual/multicultural education; child development; counselor education; educational leadership and policy studies; special education, school psychology; rehabilitation, and deaf studies; and teacher education.

Dhaka, Sept 10: Bangladesh has sought clarification from India regarding New Delhi's plan to deploy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) along the Bangladesh border, a media report said on Tuesday.
The move came in the wake of reports in the Indian media that suggested India's Border Security Force's (BSF) planned to deploy the drones along the borders of Pakistan and Bangladesh to keep a heightened vigil.
"The plan to deploy UAVs is picking up pace... We are actively pursuing it and would like to use them not only on the western border but also on the eastern border with Bangladesh," the Daily Star quoted BSF Director General Subhash Joshi as telling the Indian media.
B'desh has sought clarification from India regarding its plan to deploy UAVs.
The newspaper report said Dhaka has sought official clarification from New Delhi on the matter.
"We have officially taken (this) up with the Indian authorities seeking a clarification on it," the report quoted Shameem Ahsan, director general (external publicity) of the Bangladesh foreign ministry, as saying.

Latest update March 26th, 2017 12:55 AM
The possibility of a strong limit being placed on the number of subjects that students are allowed to write at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Examination may soon be enforced.
According to Minister of Education, Shaik Baksh, the Ministry is seriously considering making this move adding that "there will come a time when we will put a strong limit even for the talented students."
However, no policy has been formulated to discontinue the practice by students to write in excess of eight subjects. However, there are yet stipulations governing which students are permitted to write the exam, the Minister said.
He revealed that only students who would have scored 75 percent or more of the marks at the Grade Nine Assessment would be given the privilege to write more than eight subjects at CSEC.
"We are still allowing those talented students to write more.
My own view in all of this is that students should have a clear limit, no matter how talented they are. Students should not be writing 15 and 16 subjects."
The Education Ministry had some time ago issued a circular directing that students write a limit of eight subjects with only a few exceptions.
However, those writing more than eight are few in number, Baksh added.
"It is a very small number of students writing more than 12 subjects. The average is 10 subjects for most students but we would like the average to be eight since we would have sent out the circular."
The call to limit students to eight subjects has been a matter that was addressed at the level of the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) and is a state of affairs which is obtained at schools throughout the Caribbean.
Baksh, just last year, had had discussions with Chief Education Officers and Ministers in Trinidad, Barbados and Jamaica who have concurred that the move is an essential one.
Moreover, Baksh said that the Ministry has issued an advisory to this effect to all schools.
However, he noted that the ultimate decision will be that of the teachers who will determine, based on their teaching resources among other factors, whether students will be able to write more subjects.
"The main idea is to limit the number of subjects students write at Grade 10; across the Caribbean it is eight subjects… I had thrown this out to all the students in Georgetown at a forum at Queen's College and some of the students had stood up and asked if they had special talents whether they could be allowed to write additional subjects.
"We listened to them, we listened to the voices of the youths and we said okay."
He said that it was deduced that those who performed well at the Grade Nine Assessment, that is attaining 75 percent or more of the marks required, will be permitted to write more than eight subjects.
"Here again, we are going to leave it to the schools. We don't want to tell you what subjects; you know that better than us.
So after the Grade Nine you will give them additional subjects and you will make a determination whether they write 10, 12 or more subjects," Baksh asserted.
Nonetheless, he warned that teachers must seek to use discretion when making such decisions.
"Don't go to 16 and 18; we know much has been said about that…The teachers will have to be the ones to advise the parents. But we know there will still be some parents who will want their children to write 20 subjects but they don't know the consequences of that. You have to educate them, persuade them…"
"I know one school here in the city at Grade Seven they offer 14, 15 and 16 subjects and I don't see why.
This is clearly an overload but this will be left to the teachers, we don't want to dictate everything to the schools but at grade seven and eight you will determine for a rounded education how you approach it, that is, how you structure it and so on."
However, the Minister noted that he is aware there will be those cases when parents would prefer to have their children write additional subjects outside of the public school system in defiance to the advice offered by teachers in the public system.
In such instances, he noted that it will not be on any public based teachers' conscience.
But since the Ministry has a proviso in place, it has been decided that students who have the talent will be allowed to write as many subjects as they can handle at CSEC.
The process will however be closely monitored, Baksh added.
According to the Minister, parents as well as students must come to the realisation that "at the end of the day it isn't about getting 40 subjects, it is about the education of the child, how meaningful it is in the long run."

what would happen if we had nuclear war with Iran....
In today's newspaper there was a report of a study some organization had done (I no longer have a copy of the paper and I do not remember the name of the organization that conducted the study) regarding the forecast of what would happen in the event of nuclear war in the Middle East.
The study came to the conclusion that Israel, if attacked by Iran and Syria, would suffer tremendously with great losses. We would lose, the study estimated, about 800,000 people from direct nuclear hits, plus more from fallout and other damage. The center of losses would be focused in the major cities of Haifa, Tel Aviv and Ashdod.
On the other hand, the study continued, Iran would suffer much greater losses. The study concluded that we would wipe Iran out completely.
The study is based on the idea that Iran would be in possession of up to 50 fairly small nuclear warheads with which to attack Israel. Israel, on the other hand, would have up to an arsenal of over 200 nuclear warheads of the larger variety of over 1 megaton each, with which to attack Iran.
I hope that the balance is even more in our favor and the report is being overly cautious. I am just curious how they came to these estimates considering Israel has never admitted to having nuclear weapons and how many we have even if we do. As well, why do they assume Iran would only have small warheads available and why only up to 50?
It was kind of funny to see the maps in the paper depicting the expected attacks and ranges. Our little Israel was placed next to Iran which is much bigger.
The map of Israel showed nuclear hits in the three main cities (other than Jerusalem - I am not sure why they would not strike Jerusalem. I guess because of the Arab population there and maybe because of the Temple Mount). They had these squiggly lines showing how far around the cities would be affected.
The map of Iran showed a nuclear hit only on Tehran which is in northern Iran. Yet the squiggly lines were depicted as destroying the whole rest of the country, not just the immediate area around the hit (as it did by Israel). If Israel hits Tehran and can destroy the whole country from Tehran, that means the countries to the north (Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan and others) might be in danger as well. I guess that is what they mean when they say "Woe to the wicked, and woe to his neighbor".
Again, I hope, for my sake, the people doing the study were not being overly optimistic but realistic, but the contrast seems extreme.
I hope it never comes to this point and we never have to find out how accurate the report was....

The article I read (here) said that there are many cities on Israel's "hit list", and that by hitting these population centers, tens of millions of Iranians would perish.
I think that not hitting Jeruslaem has more to do with the holy sites than with the Muslim population, since Haifa is also on Iran's "hit list" according to the study.

So true, if you're lucky enough to have people around you that support you and remind you of the good things about your dancing during the disappointing times, it is much easier. Even better? To have your pro participate in the process of goal setting (and evaluation on other factors than just placement) if they are enlightened and willing. Pro-am, over the years I have been competing, has dramatically increased in quality and the level of skill in the competitions. You will find many good dancers being left in the semi final rounds at the larger comps now. The quality at these comps speaks well to the diligence of the students and the pros that teach them. Given that, pro-am students need to develop some of the mindsets and attitudes that the pro and am competitors have developed over the years to remain motivated and progressing when there is less chance of "winning". Though some pros may not yet understand it as an advantageous thing to develop in their students, they can become a big part in helping a student learn to navigate the disappointment and get back quickly to productive progress and work. It's just one more thing to migrate over from their pro partnerships to part of the experience of pro-am. It's part of the process and good business to boot.
definitely there is a complete art to navigating the psycho-social aspects of competition, including disappointments
Yes, there is, which is why I started this thread. I thought it might help all of us to share what strategies we use.
Completely agree. It is not just about learning how to dance well anymore, it is a total package of dance, performance, presentation, look, attitude and how to navigate all the various competition situations that present themselves.
I think it has always been about all those things...but the field is definitely getting stronger and that is awesome... as to how to navigate it...my pro is a man of few words...so I can't really look to him for much on this front...I can count on him to work me hard but he is not going to share much of a philosophy or perspective on how to handle defeat .....frankly, I am not sure he has one ...that being said, I have a general rule about not making decisions within close proximity to what has felt like a bruising...and I often take a break if I know that I am in that space...because I have almost no one locally with whom I could discuss those sorts of struggles...I also think I intellectually know most of what I need to know about how to recover...it is just a matter of the hard work of getting there...sometimes it is a light graze and it easy to brush off...sometimes, it takes longer....

Q: At what age is osteoarthritis likely to start in a horse?
A: You most typically start to see an onset of osteoarthritis (OA) in adult horses 4 to 6 years old, but that can vary a great deal due to breed of the horse and its use. Conformation is also a very important consideration leading to OA.
A poorly conformed horse is more likely to be predisposed to an arthritic condition that would affect them earlier in life. Predisposing radiographic factors that are present in a young horse can also indicate possible future issues.
As an example, sometimes foals and young horses will have compression in their hocks leading to degenerative and arthritic changes early on in that joint. Spurs in the knees are another. So in the radiographs during a prepurchase exam you might see these tell-tale signs that can indicate the horse might have a problem later.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Rozenkrantz Early OriginsThe surname Rozenkrantz was first found in Schleswig-Holstein, where this family became prominent contributors to the development of the district from ancient times. Always prominent in social affairs, the name became an integral part of that turbulent region as they emerged to form alliances with other families within the Feudal System and the nation. Translated literally, the name means "crown of roses." In the year 1325, Holger Rosenkranz traveled to Rome from Denmark to receive a crown of roses from the pope, which he then incorporated into his coat-of-arms. He was the son of Knight Erich von Rosenkranz, and owned the estates of Bollar in Jutland. He married Margaretha von Flemming, from the nobility of Norway, thus extending the family estates into that country. Rozenkrantz Spelling VariationsRozenkrantz Spelling Variations Spelling variations of this family name include: Rosenkrantz, Rosenkranz, Rosenkrans, Rosenkrant, Rossenkrantz, Rossenkranz, Rossenkrant, Rossenkrants, Rozenkrantz, Rozenkranz, Rosenkrants, Rozenkrant, Rozenkrants, Rosencrantz, Rosencrants, Rosencranz, Rosencrant, Rosecrans, Rosencrans, Rosecrantz, Rosekranz, Rosekrantz and many more.

Scientists from the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences at Queen's University Belfast are teaming up to develop a cure to an illness that can lead to blindness in premature babies, thanks to funding from children's charity Action Medical Research.
Two teams from the Centre for Vision and Vascular Science at Queen's are taking different approaches to a condition called Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). The condition can lead to blindness in premature babies, putting the youngest, sickest and smallest babies most at risk, including over 3,000 babies who are born more than 12 weeks early each year in the UK.
ROP is caused by blood vessels in the eye growing abnormally and causing damage to the retina the light-sensitive inner lining of the eye. Evidence suggests it develops in two stages:
The first team, led by Dr Denise McDonald, has the aim of tackling the disease at a very early stage, which will minimise the damaging effects of ROP.
The second team, led by Dr Derek Brazil, is investigating whether stem cells from babies' own umbilical cords might have the power to repair their damaged eyes and save their sight.
About one in ten babies with ROP develops severe disease, which threatens his or her sight. If this is detected early enough, laser treatment can save the most important part of a baby's vision the sharp, central vision we need to look straight ahead. However, this causes permanent loss of a baby's peripheral vision and may induce short-sightedness. What's more, it doesn't always work, meaning some babies still go blind.
Dr Brazil believes it may be possible to protect babies from ROP, and save their sight, by treating them with a special type of stem cell taken from their own umbilical cords. Dr Brazil and his colleagues Dr Michelle Hookham, Dr Reinhold Medina and the Centre Director Professor Alan Stitt, were awarded a two-year grant by Action Medical Research, to undertake this important work.
He said: "We hope our laboratory work will reveal whether vascular stem cells have the potential to repair damage to babies' eyes and save their sight. If so, it is possible that in the future vascular stem cells could be taken from a baby's own umbilical cord just after birth and then grown in the laboratory in case treatment is needed.
Taking a different approach, Dr McDonald and her team are exploring a key step in the early stages of the disease process. While laser treatment tackles stage 2 of the disease process, by stopping abnormal blood vessels from growing, by this stage the disease can already be quite severe.
Dr McDonald and her team are looking for possible new treatments which will protect the retinal blood vessels from the effect of high oxygen which occurs in stage one.
Evidence suggests that certain cofactors protect and encourage normal growth of the delicate blood vessels that supply the retina, as long as they are present in sufficient quantities. In contrast, low levels of these cofactors seem to be linked to the destruction of blood vessels. The researchers are investigating the role of specific cofactors and ways to enhance their function as a possible treatment for ROP.
Dr Denise McDonald and her colleague, Dr Tom Gardiner, were awarded a two-year research grant from Action Medical Research for the project.
Dr Alexandra Dedman, Senior Research Evaluation Manager from Action Medical Research, said: "We are delighted to be funding these two expert research teams in Belfast who both have longstanding track records, recognised internationally. Their work in this area has the potential to change the lives of babies around the world suffering from this condition."
Both Dr Brazil's and Dr McDonald's teams are based at the Centre for Vision and Vascular Science at Queen's University Belfast, which contains state-of-the art facilities and equipment. The centre has a long history of successful research into many of the leading causes of vision loss. Both projects involve collaboration with Dr Eibhlin McLoone, consultant paediatric ophthalmologist at the Royal Victoria Hospital.

MILITARY ARMS WITH MICROGRIDS Military Microgrids; Stationary Base, Forward Operating Base, and Mobile Smart Grid Networks for Renewables Integration, Demand Response, and Mission-Critical Security
4Q 2012 (Pike Research/Navigant)
"The United States Department of Defense's (DOD) interest in improving energy security through microgrid technology stems from its heavy reliance upon all forms of fossil fuels, often imported from regions of the world hostile to U.S. interests. Microgrids can shrink the amount of fossil fuels consumed to create electricity by networking generators as a system to maximize efficiency…
"They can also be used to help integrate renewable energy resources (such as wind and solar) at the local distribution grid level. Simultaneously, microgrids enable military bases – both stationary and forward operating bases – to sustain operations, no matter what is happening on the larger utility grid or in the theater of war."
"According to the Secretary of Defense, over 40 DOD military bases either have currently operating microgrids, planned microgrids, or have conducted studies or demonstrations of microgrid technologies…
"DOD also has 600 forward operating bases (FOBs) and is investigating the deployment of even smaller mobile, tactical microgrids in Afghanistan and other engagement hot spots. Pike Research forecasts that, in an average scenario, the total capacity of U.S. military microgrids for stationary bases will reach 54.8 megawatts by 2018…"

A four-year degree at two-year school?
Earn a four-year degree without leaving community college?
Yep, it's possible under a pilot program being rolled out this fall at Fountain Valley-based Coastline Community College.
Students in Coastline's Learning 1st program will be able to earn an undergraduate degree in select majors from three high-profile U.S. universities – Pennsylvania State University (psychology), the University of Massachusetts (business) and the University of Illinois Springfield (computer science).
Perhaps best of all, the all-online program guarantees admission from day one, as soon as a student enrolls at Coastline.
Such concurrent-enrollment partnerships are rare and innovative, experts say, especially in California, where the lines between community colleges and four-year institutions are clearly drawn.

HISTORY MADE! The FULL HANSARD TRANSCRIPTS from the Australian Parliament debate on Meniere's Disease
5 comments:
- V A Hodgson10 December 2012 at 18:23
But did they move to actually DO anything useful? Recognition might be a tiny step forward but it won't help one person who suffers as we sometimes do
Cheers ValRepliesHi Val,
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
You're absolutely right. It is a small step forward, but it's a step. At the very least it gave me the opportunity to post the Hansard transcript so that the words of Australia's decision makers can be viewed for the world to see.
The more we spread the word about vestibular disorders, the more people will learn about these conditions.
Hopefully now that Meniere's Australia has some allies in parliament it will be better placed to gain funding to support people with vestibular disorders like Meniere's disease.
With regard to helping individual sufferers, there are people like myself who write about their experiences with Meniere's disease. Collectively we add gravity to the awareness of this condition. As Mahatma Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world".
Every step is useful.
Wishing you good health,

Canada, Kenya and Netherlands book World Cup spots
Ireland, Canada, Netherlands and Kenya have qualified for the 2011 World Cup, but the headlines will once again be stolen by Afghanistan who have secured ODI status with victory over Namibia
Kenya ensured they would be at their fifth successive World Cup with an impressive six-wicket win over Ireland in Pretoria. Wednesday's humiliation at the hands of Namibia had left their place in doubt, but against an Ireland side already assured of their own qualification, they eased home with 12 balls to spare. It wasn't easy, though, and chasing a target of 209, they slid to 96 for 4 with the loss of the talismanic Steve Tikolo. Their batting has often been brittle, but Collins Obuya and Thomas Odoyo combined to add 113 for the fifth wicket to guide them home. Man of the Match Obuya hit an unbeaten 66 off 73 balls while Oboyo struck 50 off 68.
Niall O'Brien was the top-scorer with 59 during Ireland's innings. John Mooney (34), Andrew White (25), Kevin O'Brien (22) and William Porterfield (21) got starts without really pressing on. Tikolo was the most successful wicket-taker with 3 for 11. Ireland will be without Eoin Morgan for Sunday's fairly meaningless game against Canada.
A splendid 167-run opening stand between Alexei Kervezee and Mudassar Bukhari made short work of Canada's 205 in Johannesburg and confirmed Netherlands also grabbed one of the three remaining slots at the 2011 World Cup, along with Canada who had already all but qualified. Kervezee (77) and Bukhari (84) led a confident reply to a target of 206 and though Netherlands wobbled after their stand was snapped in the 37th over, the cool hand of Bas Zuiderent was there when the winning runs were hit. The win was set up in the field thanks to a controlled bowling and fielding display. Bukhari and Edgar Schiferli struck with the new ball and the pressure was maintained by Darron Reekers and Peter Borren. Only Sandeep Jyoti (46) and Umar Bhatti (39*) waged some resistance down the order but a target of 206 proved too easy for Netherlands.

Kenya did a great job in beating Ireland in their last Super-Eight match. Otherwise, a Namibian victory in the tense Afghinstan-Namibia match could have cost them the World-Cup berth. With Steve Tikolo already stepped down and soon retiring from international cricket, the future of Kenyan cricket really looks very grim.

Lawsuits Filed Against Standard and Poor's
The Obama administration has filed a billion dollar lawsuit against Standard and Poor's, largely blaming the rating agency for playing a critical role in the events leading up to the housing market collapse at the end of 2007. Los Angeles will be the venue for the legal fight. The Justice Department picked the Los Angeles area because of how hard it was hit by the foreclosure crisis.

The BBC gets a lot of attacks upon the internet, so much so that it sometimes ressembles a wounded beast speared by many hunters reeling in its bloody death throes through the forest. Yet sometimes it does things that remind us why it is the most important and best news broadcaster in the world- giving a peerless service in educating and extending our minds- such a service is the series launched upon the BBC's Radio 4 and World Service concerning Iran.
One of the programs deals with the current controversial President of Iran Ahmadinejad, a bogeyman to many in the West and a hero to many in the East. As one of his friends says for Ahmadinenjad Islam is not merely a faith but an ideology, a man who beleives in a black and white version of justice as the guide of his world view. Ahmadinejad's view of politics seems to be very limited- based upon the idea that any politician should defend the view that no one should have privilege. The problem as it occurs within the broadcast is that this is a man whose strongpoint is ideological thinking but doesn't understand subtlety or reality- partly this is for a simple reason- what Ahmadinejad doesn't understand is that justice has many meanings and that people can have principled reasons and will have principled reasons for differing. The program leaves noone in any doubt that he is sincerely if naively religious nor that he has the political skills needed to climb to the top, but as one contributer to the program says the President's impact will not be longlasting because his systemic understanding of society is not sophisticated enough. His distribution of oil revenues which rely upon the price of oil staying high is merely one way in which his naive principles may rebound to the discredit of the Islamic Republic in the eyes of its populace.
Ahmadinejad's election has been seen in the West as the rise of the theocrats- really it should be seen as a vote against corruption and in favour of simple principles- prosperity for the poor, pride in Iran and a 'really good man' at the top- in the West we know that that is not enough to govern and consequently unless he demonstrates more subtlety there may be problems for him ahead.
Anyone who wants to take a look for themselves can see Ahmadinejad's blog itself at http://www.ahmadinejad.ir/ you can get an English transalation for the site on the site.

Narrative Summary
4. Would you strongly agree, somewhat agree, somewhat disagree, or strongly disagree that teachers and students should have the academic freedom to discuss both the strengths and weaknesses of evolution as a scientific theory?
(Click excerpt link for responses)
5. Charles Darwin wrote that when considering the evidence for his theory of evolution, a fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question. Do you strongly agree, somewhat agree, somewhat disagree, or strongly disagree with Darwins statement?
(Click excerpt link for responses)
6. I am going to read you two statements about Biology teachers teaching Darwins theory of evolution. Please tell me which statement comes closest to your own point of viewStatement A or Statement B?
Statement A: Biology teachers should teach only Darwins theory of evolution and the scientific evidence that supports it.
Statement B: Biology teachers should teach Darwins theory of evolution, but also the scientific evidence against it.
(Click excerpt link for responses)
(Excerpt) Read more at evolutionnews.org ...
Isn't that interesting that it is the position that Sarah Palin advocates and has taken so much heat on from fellow politicians and the MSM.
"but also the scientific evidence against it."
As worded that means NOT teaching ID.
Just goes to show the jackbooted tactics that are being employed to shield neo-Darwinian evolution from scientific scrutiny.
None of these excerpted questions are controversial. Any scientific issue should cover evidence both for and against.
But evidence against evolution, whatever that may be, does not equate to creationism.
==Darwins theory of evolution and the scientific evidence that supports it
As worded that means NOT teaching Darwin's fanciful creation myth.
Saying you think both sides of the issue should be discussed and weighed objectively is one thing. Actually doing it proves to be quite another matter.
So you're saying that evidence of a young earth, an orchard of trees instead of a tree of life, no transitional fossils or missing links, evidence of a global flood, etc, etc, should not be placed in the creation science side of the ledger?
It should include teaching enough about ID, so that students can say why it isn't a scientific theory.
It helps to provide both examples, and non-examples to teach about any concept. If you wish to teach why evolution is a scientific theory — it would help to be able to distinguish it from theories you don't consider scientific.
Please note, the above concerns pedagogy only — it isn't meant to be a comment on the substantive issues (between evolution, and ID, etc.).
Yes, this is something evolutionists have never been adept at honestly evaluating.
The word 'Universal' means all-encompassing...hence the schools of learning are called 'Universities'. Any knowledge that is suppressed is pure censorship. If the theory of Evolution proponents are so secure in their 'science' then why should the concepts of 'creationism' be such a threat?
Teach all the creationism you want, in religion class. Not in science class.
==If the theory of Evolution proponents are so secure in their science then why should the concepts of creationism be such a threat?
Because the Temple of Darwinistic Materialism is really a rival religion dressed in scientific garb:
See this:
Then read this:
"Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door."
—Richard C. Lewontin, Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology and Professor of Biology at Harvard University, 1997
As opposed to the argument that it's satatism?
Real cute: In public indoctrination centers, there are no religion classes.
Wow, you guys are gutless.
Pointing out problems and objections in one theory is not the same thing as building an alternative theory.
Trying to pick holes in evolution doesn't make creationism a science.
No, as opposed to having a mocicum of intellectual integrity.
Even if true, that wouldn't entitle creationism to be taught in science class.
But it's not true anyway. There are religion classes in most universities. Comparative religion, mythology, literature, etc.
And that's your idea of presenting a civil argument on the weaknesses of the ToE?
Correct. Facts and evidence do. And there are plenty of both. Let them be heard!
I think the poll referred only to teaching scientific evidence. That leaves out ID.
You really want them to teach that God may be dead?
I actually think that TOE should be compared to Creationism and Lamarkian selection in biology classes. Teaching why those systems (Creationism and Lamarkian Selection) are wrong is very educational and actually might help students understand Evolution better.
You're a hoot.
==Trying to pick holes in evolution doesnt make creationism a science.
True enough. But if those wholes are being picked based on the hypothesis that the biblical account of creation and the noaitic flood are true, then it's science. For instance: creationists predict that the earth is young, they predict not a tree of life, but an orchard of trees with no transitionals outside the bounds of the biblical kinds; they predict evidence of a global flood, etc, etc. They are forming hypothesis, and they are testing the same using the scientific method. That's science.
Bring it.
And if I asked you about some of them what I'd get is a bunch of reasons why evolution must be wrong. Like I said, trying to knock down one theory doesn't build a different one.
Is that the argument you intend to bring into the classroom under the premise of presenting scientific evidence?
I'm not opposed to destroying the flimsy myth of evolution, first, if that's where you want to start.
In our home school I teach my kids what evolution is, often using the evolution scientist's own writings, so that they have an antithesis to our thesis that creation science is correct.
Having been raised to believe in evolution I have no qualms discussing its main teachings as well as contrasting it to the creationist view.
Evolutionists, in general, do not seem to share the same confidence and refuse to even mention the main creation science teachings, even if only critically.
{and wanton}
If the burden is on them, they're the only one's with any business in the classroom.
BTW, I have deep respect for the scientific method — but, I also know that it can never reveal all truths in the universe. I also know that all science should be treated as "provisional facts". (One should say: "not yet disproven", rather than "proven".)
Keep your bibles in theology class, please.
There, I said it. This is the main issue (actually the only at this point) issue that divides me from Xians.
They've had a century and a half.
Time's up.
Bring on ID.
You said you wanted to teach ID. You do realize that one of the basic tenents of ID is that God may be dead since there exists no evidence that he has been alive in the last few hundred million years?
As far as I understand, the 'main creation science' is as written in the Bible in Genesis. That doesn't classify as science class material.
No, since the Bible does not declare alchemy nor flat earth notions to be true.
Find the missing link yet?
If not for a "Temple of Chemistry" zealots keeping out our important work and marginalizing and discrediting out spokesmen, we would have long ago superseded Chemistry as the primary science-like theory of matter.
You just put the burden on them. If you're not willing to do any of the work, what entitles you to have any say in the matter?
The description of God's miraculous creation of the earth is indeed found in Genesis. So is the account of the world wide flood.
Creation science presupposes these incidents to be true. So, Biology, Chemistry, Geology etc. are taught from these presuppositions.
For example in Geology we learn the principle of superposition, creation/formation of various strata, petrification and so forth, and in Biology we learn about cells, plant life, reproduction, DNA, micro (as opposed to macro) evolution, all without the imposition of evolutionary thought.
You go first.
Never mind, we don't feel like giving you another 150 years to spew more of your gibberish.
I also said (quoting myself):
"Please note, the above concerns pedagogy only it isnt meant to be a comment on the substantive issues (between evolution, and ID, etc.)."
You just have to look back at all the TOE/ID/Creationism threads on Freerepublic to realize that the "controversy" makes the subject far, far, more interesting than simply presenting the orthodox view. Do you expect students (teenagers at that!!) to just take teacher's word for things — or would you rather equip them to be able to think for themselves?
Probably not correct to brand all Christians as anti-evolutionary, if that's what you meant.

Ideally, something well ventilated in vest form that has good protection for the rib areas, don't do DH so spine protection (though appreciated) is not the main concern.
Getting a lot of rib injuries recently but most of the torso armour is a little too heavy for my typical XC/AM riding out here in HK.
Thinking of something like the Troy Lee Designs BP 3800-HW Sleeveless Shirt so feed back on this would be great but welcome other suggestions.
