Second British Film Festival coming to Kurdistan
The second British Film Festival will be held in Iraq's Kurdistan region this month. A programme of films, screening in Erbil, will celebrate British cinema as well as the growing relationship between Kurdistan and the UK.
New this year, the festival will also show some shorts and medium-length films by Kurdish filmmakers, such as Chaplin of the Mountains [pictured].
The programme will also include the Kurdistan premiere of Gwynn Roberts' documentary Kulajo, about one Kurdish village attacked during the Anfal campaign of the late 1980s.
The festival was founded last year by members of the British Consulate-General in Erbil, and producer-financier Phil Hunt of London-based Bankside Films.
Hunt said: "It's an extraordinary and exciting relationship that is being built here between our industry and the people of Kurdistan. We hope that the films we are screening will inspire and entertain in a way that will encourage local filmmakers and artists to engage with cinema and show us their own stories. The country has changed so dramatically over the last two decades. It's time that those stories were brought to the screen."
Hugh Evans, the British Consul-General in Erbil, said: "The Kurdish people have endured decades of repression and isolation. But now they are determined to catch up with the rest of the world, reflected in huge economic growth and an impressive record of development in recent years. We in the UK are proud to be forging ever closer and more diverse ties – political, commercial, education and cultural - with the people and government of this fascinating Region. Holding a film festival of this scale and ambition reflects the strength of collaboration between Kurdish and British film enthusiasts. It also taps into a deep Kurdish interest in the creative arts. Last year over 2000 people came to see British films such as Senna, The Queen and Mark Cousins' The First Movie. This year we have an even more exciting range of movies for people to enjoy. We hope this festival can become a long term fixture and will help encourage the emergence of an indigenous Kurdish cinema with international appeal."

Students' posters aim to erase graffiti
Senator Tony Avella is aiming to erase any thoughts of vandalism from the minds of the students in his district – and paint them a clear anti-graffiti picture.
The senator joined representatives from the Bayside Business Association (BBA) and students from across northeast Queens on December 15 for his first annual Anti-Graffiti Poster Contest.
"Graffiti is a problem we need to address," said Avella. "There's enforcement, there's corrective action like painting over it and washing it off, but there's also education. Getting to the kids when they're in school to let them know graffiti is bad is one of the best ways to eliminate it over time, and having kids tell their fellow peers that graffiti is bad is the best way to do this. So getting the word out by students talking to students is a big thing, and hopefully it will lead to a reduction of graffiti in the future."
Beginning in September, Avella's contest encouraged students to create artwork against graffiti. The competition was available to students of all ages, providing a wide spectrum of artistic interpretations. Winners and runners-up were chosen from three categories: elementary, middle and high school. Lauren Lashley, who finished first in the high school division, says her work was inspired by personal experiences.
"[I was motivated by] the terrible graffiti signs I would find outside my house," said the 17-year-old senior at Martin Van Buren High School, whose poster idea came to her in a dream. "It really bothered me, and I knew people that lived nearby and they were so frustrated about it."
All 550 participants received merit certificates for entering the contest, and Avella will attempt to place the posters in prominent positions throughout his district.
Due to a donation from the BBA, winners also received $100, with a second place finish earning students $50.
"We always give to everything that we can in Bayside, and what better cause than to give to children and to foster their imaginations," said Judith Limpert, president of the BBA. "Anti-graffiti is important because it affects everybody. It's a blight on the peace and tranquility of a neighborhood. We are trying to do anything we can to get the children to realize not to do it because it's not conducive to a nice place to live."
The elementary school winners – Lauren and Meagan Lovett and Nicole Kardum – based their poster on the environmental hazards of graffiti. Despite their hard work, the fourth graders at P.S. 162 refuse to be selfish with their prize money.
"We would like to donate [our winnings] to breast cancer [foundations]," said Kardum. "We don't want to keep the money. We want to do something good with it."

- Tickety-Boo pretty much through and through Review by Rene Leroux
- Follow up review Review by Steve
The main camera unit had a connection problem with the cable leading to the camera head and I'd lose the view on the camera screen indicating a loose connection. Same with the power hatch, found out one of the connectors were broken and loose.
Been using the second camera for close to 4.5 months daily and it is working flawlessly with the power hatch as well.
Tried plenty of different rechargeable batteries and can't go wrong with Sanyo Eneloops or the higher capacity Powerex AA batteries (personally have 8 AA of each brand). The Powerex batteries last 3 times longer than the rechargeable Energizers or Duracells I've used in the past and my Eneloops last twice as long as Energizers and Duracells.
Maybe POV cameras can think about providing the high quality Sanyos or Maha/Powerex type batteries because not too many Canadian dealers/suppliers exist for either batteries and I'm sure it'd draw business from flashoholics as well.

- Nice but Problematic Review by Brando
However, ever since I've had this camera it's been in for repairs twice on the microphone on functioning. Personally I feel the mic is of low quality, but VIO has stated general reasons otherwise. To me sound makes a difference in a video I'm watching.
In conclusion, I think it's worth the risk to purchase and VIO has been very accommodating on repairing my device without hassles or questions. The end result has been very pleasing to me. (Posted on 5/7/11)
- Very good system Review by Kryl
You just enable loop and forward mode, and you forget it. As soon as you've done something worth saving, you press the remote tag button.
Unlike what VidTex said, most software (Adobe Premiere, FinalCut, for not naming them) have 29.97fps mode and not 30fps. So, VIO, please don't change this.
I agree with him about the extension cable stuff, but I'm pretty sure they are preparing something for the next months or so, since they used to have a tactical offering, where they had an extension cable. So if they are going to replace the POV 1.5 by POV.HD 1.5, they must provide an equivalent sometime in the future.
Anyway, I've no real use of the extension cable for now, and the quality/weight ratio is good so I bring my camera with me every day... who knows what'll happen!
(Posted on 3/17/11)
- Perfect little camera Review by Steve
The 1080p and 142 degree field of view are worth the extra cost over the POV 1.5 camera. Night shots are okay mounted on the dash and can see the vehicle directly ahead of me. 5 out of 5 for the camera so far and 2 out of 5 for the power hatch. (Posted on 3/12/11)
- Solid Camera, quite happy. Review by 100puhcent
The best thing about this cam, is that you dont look like a total dork on the hill, because the lens is super low profile compared to having an entire camera on your head. Its cool because I can review footage ive just taken right away, instead of having to pull off my helmet to click through takes, which lets face it, Im just not going to do. Also, In my truck its easier to mount the VIO lens in tight spots, where you wouldnt have the option to mount a full camera. (Posted on 3/2/11)
- Great system but has some significant flaws Review by VidTex
First, there is still some fisheye effect although maybe I need to play with it some more because it appears more on certain angles. Plus there is a black line on the left side of the video I've noticed as well. I have to adjust the picutre when editing.
Second, no extension cables? The old extension cables that went with the 1.5 don't work with the HD system. True a lot of us are using the camera at close range, but there are some creative situations where I could use an extension and now I can't because they don't produce any extension cables. C'mon VIO you guys should have done better. Now I gotta wait on the stuff I want to try because you didn't plan or deliberately decided it wasn't worth it to get the extension cables manufactured. Put your hand out for the ruler. You get a nun-slap for that one!
And the third disappointment is that 1080p30 is not really 30fps. It is 29.97. I use a variety of software for video organizing and editing and in Premiere the properties on the files straight from the SD card show 29.97 fps. I like to use FlipShare for quick looky-loos at what I've shot and it won't open the VIO HD files because the frame rate is not 30fps. Another slap boys! Not just because I can't do this but if it says on the menu it's 30fps, then it ought to be 30fps, not 29.97.
3 stars or 4? It's has such a lot of cool things going on, and overall I like it much better than the 1.5, but I'm gonna say 3 just because these things are pretty important to me. And VIO, please update your website. (Posted on 2/22/11)

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - With more than 342,000 individuals throughout northeast Florida experiencing food insecurity and beaches residents facing a particularly pressing need, Second Harvest North Florida and Beaches Emergency Assistance Ministry partnered to bring a Mobile Pantry to the Mayport area to assist an estimated 237 families.
Eight thousand 400 pounds of food, the equivalent of 7,000 meals, were delivered to waiting families at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church on Wednesday from 4 to 7 p.m.
Second Harvest said its big blue trucks delivered approximately 4.3 million pounds of food directly into low-income neighborhoods through more than 500 Mobile Pantry events in 2012.
Those Mobile Pantry distributions are typically funded by corporations, religious or civic groups for $1,200 per delivery.
However, Second Harvest said this week's Mobile Pantry was an unsponsored collaborative effort between Second Harvest North Florida and BEAM to address the acute need in the beaches area.
"Food insecure people often don't know where or when they may get their next meal. Our Mobile Pantry typically feeds homebound seniors, expectant mothers and working families who work hard and earn income, but simply can't find a way to make ends meet," said Bruce Ganger, Executive Director of Second Harvest North Florida. "This is one of many ways we are working to help solve hunger in our community."

Two & A Bud Conference Centre
Once used by the Assam Tea Protection Force a converted barrack now serves as our conference centre. Named Two & A Bud it precisely describes what is plucked after each flush - the top bud flanked by two leaves sprouting from each new stem - since it is widely believed the taste of tea is purer and more aesthetic if only the top two leaves and bud are used.
A trail that weaves past tall trees and clumps of giant bamboo, over a little bridge and past a small, multi-religious sanctuary leads into the Two & A Bud conference centre.
The main building, which is constructed from wood allowing it to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, comprises a large rectangular meeting room decorated with artwork from Bali. It is furnished with a long conference table that can seat 30 people and has a small break out room next door. A covered verandah stretches the length of the building.
The Wild Mahseer estate is ideally suited for conducting corporate outward bound, leadership and motivational programmes. As a result Two & A Bud has quickly grown in reputation among national and international clients as a preferred destination not only for developmental training, but also for hosting conferences and seminars in a diverse range of sectors like Wildlife, Tourism, Tea, Telecoms and Manufacturing. It is also widely used by schools and universities.
For residential programmes we can accommodate a total of 30 participants on our property and nearby.

Jessica Devnani found out this week that her appearance was deemed unacceptable. She had been hired to run one of the games at Canada's Wonderland. When she went to take her staff ID photo she was informed that she would either have to resign or get rid of her dreadlocks. Jessica decided to resign ( HUGE APPLAUSE FROM ME!)
It seems Canada's Wonderland considers dreadlocks to be an extreme hairstyle. Spokesperson Dineen Beaven is reported as saying, "We have 4,000 seasonal employees and we strive for a professional look for all our employees," The same appearance rules apply at the 11 other parks in the United States and five water parks owned by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company. Ministry of Labour program information officer Lori Barton said the issue doesn't violate the Employment Standards Act. That act deals with issues such as overtime pay, holiday pay and the limit of hours on a work week.
"An employer does have the right to decide how you dress and how you keep your hair," Ms Barton said.
A complaint can be made to the Ontario Human Rights Commission if it is related to specified grounds such as race or religion, said Afroze Edwards, a communications officer with the commission.
For example, if Ms Devnani was of the Rastafarian religion, it could be viewed as a violation of her human rights if she had to keep her hair like that for religious purposes.
I am a proud dread lock wearing sister. I have been growing my locks for 6 years now and they reach the middle of my back. They are my majestic crown of black beauty. Dreadlocks cannot be equated to dying your hair pink, as the government agencies and Canada's Wonderland attempt to do by stigmatizing those who choose to grow them.
Black hair, as all POC will tell you is not the same as white hair. It requires a lot of work to maintain. As POC we can choose to wear our hair au natural, straighted with chemical relaxers, weaved, or braided. Though this article focused on dreadlocks, many companies find braided hair to also be extreme.
There are limited options for blacks in terms of hair. Putting chemicals in our hair to straighten it, is damaging not only to the scalp but to the hair itself if it occurs for a number of years. The genesis of hair relaxing is the imitation of white hair. Recall in the movie Malcolm X when Malcolm got his first conk….He said to his friend, "it look white don't it?" Straightened hair is the internalization of white characteristics as the symbol of beauty. Think I am off base?? Think about the good hair/bad hair dichotomy. "Good hair" is considered relatively kink free, and relatively straight whereas "bad hair" refers to kinky "unmanageable" hair.
Cornrows have been re popularized, by the hip hop culture, and as such many businesses have wrongly categorized them as extreme. When they initially were made "mainstream" (read: white) was when they worn by Bo Derek in the movie ten. When a black woman tried to wear them to work shortly after the release of the movie to her job, at the Hyatt Regency she was sent home. When she took her case to court, citing racial discrimination, the Judge said that she only wanted to wear them because of Bo Derek, and that this was not a racial issue. This lead to a national boycott of Hyatt led by none other than the Rev. Jessie Jackson.
I don't know about you, but how many white girls do you think have a memory of sitting at their mothers knees to get their hair braided for the week? The washing, drying, oiling of the scalp, and braiding is a ritual that most black women have been through. But a white judge decided that it is not a racial issue.
Au Natural is another choice that blacks may make. The hair is usually cropped close to the scalp so as not to be confused with the AFRO, although many young blacks are taking a page from their parents style book and choosing to wear the AFRO. At the time of its initial popularity the AFRO was considered extreme.
It seems to me that until white culture appropriates our hairstyles, clothing, music, dress or mannerisms they are considered extreme. Why is it that whatever begins in black culture needs the stamp of approval from white people before it becomes acceptable? Think I being to hard on white people??? Think about Jazz, Blues and Rock N Roll, all at one time considered extreme until white people appropriated it and made a profit off of it. I am sure Little Richard is still waiting for a royalty check from Pat Boone after his horrible re-recording of tooty fruity.
You see until whites can make a profit from it, all things Black are considered uncouth, uncivilized, ghetto (read: low class), or even savage. Though this article starts off with black hair I believe the heart of the issue is black culture. When it cannot be stolen from us, it must be negatively stigmatized so as to deny the originality and or culture that is unique to POC.
As POC we must stand up and say, it is not okay to steal from us to make a profit. It is not okay to pass laws that force us to attempt to look like you. We are beautiful as we are. That which is different, is not necessarily extreme.

Boy was I lucky on Saturday! I did some 2v2 with Sev and after a disastrous 1st game (I think we lost 16 points) we got Hot Streak! I didn't want to say anything as we got to 8 games thinking it will jinx us and when we were at 9 games I was really anxious! We still didn't say anything and when we got them down (there was a close moment in that game too!) and got the achievement Sev said woot! and I said WOOOOT. Made it to 1400 and 1500 respectively so we both got to buy some new gear. Then the next game we got a lock and disc priest and we lost.
It was 3 min till WG and Sev queued us for a game and we got in and I said to Sev, do you think we could do WG after this game? To which he replied as long as it wasn't a 45 minute game...
... it only turned out to be a 30 minute game. And poor Sev got so cold he was actually standing up playing and jumping around to warm up. And his hands were numb, so he said he was hitting the wrong keys. We were playing against a mage and a disc priest. Now I would have thought that Sev could handle the disc priest on his own so I basically was kiting the mage around and around. But the priest kept drinking! I thought maybe it was becaues Bheetom was being slowed by the mage... but I've decided to blame it on Sev and his numb fingers. I figured out I should focus the priest and when they're casting mana burn I just bear form. Why I didn't do that earlier I don't know but made it so easy! And then I stuffed it up at the end trying to get from the door to the coffin (we were in UC arena) and I was blasted by the mage and priest and Sev was sheeped so he couldn't help me and I had used all my CD and I died :(
And WG was over by the time we got out.

DETROIT, Mich. - Three Detroit Medical Center (DMC) Hospitals - DMC Detroit Receiving Hospital, DMC Harper University/Hutzel Women's Hospital and DMC Sinai-Grace Hospital –have received the Leapfrog Group's Top Hospital designation for 2012. Leapfrog Top Hospital is one of the most coveted and exclusive hospital quality awards in the nation.
The Leapfrog Group is the nation's premier quality ranking agency, acting on behalf of many of the nation's Fortune 500 companies which seek to improve hospital quality, in order to realize efficiencies in health care costs and to provide the highest quality of care for the millions of people in their employ.
The rankings are based on responses to the 2012 Leapfrog Hospital Survey. Ranking hospitals had to meet stringent Leapfrog standards in the key areas of Preventing Medication Errors, ICU Physician Staffing, high-risk surgeries and procedures, achieve an Over all Value Score of 69 or more, and receive an "A" grade in the Hospital Safety Score.
Four DMC Hospitals, including the three earning the 2012 Top Hospital designation, earned an "A" grade in both Leapfrog safety assessments for 2012. The most recent grades were released last week.
"This latest achievement demonstrates why DMC was chosen to become one of only 32 National Pioneer Accountable Care Organizations (ACO)," said DMC President Joe Mullany.
"The whole purpose of this emerging concept in health care is to treat patients at the highest standard of care the first time, so they are not repeatedly returning to the hospital.
It takes standards like those measured by Leapfrog to create that kind of patient safety and wellness. We are proud to have hospitals rank nationally for these high standards of care."
DMC Harper-Hutzel Hospital President Thomas Malone, M.D., is encouraged by this Leapfrog designation. "We've felt for some time that our approach to quality of care for each patient at Harper and Hutzel was world class," Malone said. "As an already established Center of Excellence, this added designation from the Leapfrog Group affirms that our multidisciplinary model of care continuously provides outstanding clinical outcomes. We are truly proud of this accomplishment."
DMC Sinai-Grace Hospital president Reginald Eadie, M.D., responded similarly. "Everyone at Sinai-Grace strives daily to provide optimum service in their individual roles and responsibilities and as a team, to give our patients the best care possible. To be listed as a Leapfrog Top Hospital is an awesome recognition of the hard work and commitment our people give."
At DMC Detroit Receiving Hospital, president Iris Taylor, Ph.D., spoke about the hospital's critical role in the region. "Detroit Receiving is Michigan's leader in emergency medicine, a Center of Excellence for disaster preparedness and a provider of expert care is several specialties. We have made it our responsibility to attain and surpass the highest standards in the care we give. To receive the 2012 Leapfrog Top Hospital ranking is further confirmation that we remain on track."
"Our patients' safety and the quality of care they receive has always been the DMC's chief mission" said Suzanne White, M.D., M.B.A., and DMC Chief Medical Officer. "Every opportunity we have to apply new research and best practices, such as our Safety for Life protocol, helps us rise even higher and attracts recognition such as that awarded us today by the Leapfrog Group."
Each performance area is measured by very specific variables designed to curb the number of medication errors that occur annually in the U.S.
The standard for preventing Medication Errors requires that physicians enter at least 75% of medication orders through a Computerized Physician Order Entry system (CPOE) and that the system can adequately alert physicians when common prescribing errors occur.
ICU Physician Staffing standards require that a hospital's Intensive Care Units are managed or co-managed by board certified intensivists who are on-site, or within reach by telemedicine, or returned page within five minutes, and who can arrange that a certified physician or physician extender reach the ICU patient within five minutes.
A hospital must fully meet Leapfrog's standards for volume, processes of care, and outcomes for high-risk surgeries and procedures (heart bypass, heart angioplasty, aortic valve replacement, abdominal aortic aneurism repair, bariatric surgery, esophogectomy, pancreatectomy, and high-risk newborn deliveries).
In addition, hospitals must achieve a value score of 69 or more, out of 100 possible. The value score is a combination rating of quality and use of resources.
Top Hospitals will be recognized at a reception and awards ceremony at the Leapfrog Annual meeting, Dec. 4th in Baltimore, M.D.

Eating healthy foods might help you lower high cholesterol. Many people whose cholesterol is high because they eat too many fatty foods are able to lower their cholesterol with diet changes.
Try these healthy food choices to help lower your cholesterol.
Avoid serving fresh vegetables with butter or cheese.
Avoid packaged desserts, especially those with palm or coconut oil.
Some margarine spreads can help to lower cholesterol levels . These margarines contain plant stanol or sterol esters from wood
pulp or soybean oil.
These margarines can help lower cholesterol levels, particularly in
people who have high cholesterol levels or who consume too much fat in their
diets. They work by blocking the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines
and may work best in combination with other therapies, including medicine, to
lower cholesterol.
For more information about a diet that is designed to lower cholesterol, see the topic Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) Diet for High Cholesterol.

Hi everyone! How are all of you doing? It's been sooooo much time since the last time I checked out MyIGN now that I have my blog on my own website, but what's most to miss? Everybody else's blogs that just make me come back every now and then.
I can't always write articles the way I used to over here, come to think of it, I can barely write articles on my own website ---> CLICK HERE <---. It's not easy to sit down and figure something out to write, and on a website it has to be full grammar, but over here it's write like you talk, maybe a couple of grammar freaks come and go a little, but you have to respect their will to actually help you improve.
I'm not really going to come here saying I will blog again because I just can't fulfill that since I need publicity for my website. And I certainly won't just write in a blog telling you guys to check out the article I just posted. There has to be something, but what is it?! Now that I look on to the internet and see lots of popular websites, I see celebrities, I see some things I shouldn't have seen before I'm 15 BUT I DID (not that I'm happy about it ... Or am I ?). Wait a second, why not just do all this! I have a website and though unpopular, readers say that it deserves to be and that is something that makes me happy right in the bottom of my heart, but it isn't about being popular really, it's about having fun and another way to have fun is one I figured out while watching many videos on Youtube like those of Screen Team, Pewdiepie, Smosh and many more! That looks so awesome and the people doing these things are having so much fun!
Now to take it apart, I myself tried about 3 videos of just talking, but meeeh, people don't want to see me talk about games, they got articles for that, so it means... They want to SEE THE GAME! This is so awesome! I've always thought about it but it never came to me to actually do it, but I CAN! I WILL! And guess what... I AM!
I've already uploaded like 3 videos of me playing different games, and I have more to upload on later dates, however, it isn't really going well, I think the videos are fine, but what's the point of making them if no one is watching them? That is why I turned my eyes into the crowd I know will stay, watch and help and that my lovely friend is none other than YOU!
IGN has been the house of many many MANY gamers for years now, and people in it are some of the nicest I met, that is why it came to me that only you guys can really help!
These are the videos I have up now, and of course more will be coming in. In fact, there is a special video going to be uploaded tomorrow so make sure you watch that too.
In the real fact, I'm going to share these videos in blog posts right here. One more thing to note, subscribers to my channel will have a chance to win a Steam Game code so go for it! --->SUBSCRIBE HERE<---
If you want a quick little glimpse on tomorrow's special video, it has something to do with a little celebrity called Miley Cyrus, and a little (not really) game called Just Cause 2!

THE decision to ban Lend Lease from Victorian government work could end up in the courts, with senior lawyers saying the builder would have a serious legal claim, while unions have also flagged a challenge.
It comes after Fairfax Media revealed on Tuesday that the Baillieu government would ban Lend Lease for a union-friendly deal with the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union. The ban could last the length of its four-year agreement or earlier if it was revamped.
CFMEU national construction secretary Dave Noonan attacked the decision and said it would reduce competition and was an attempt to appease right-wing forces in the Liberal Party. ''This is a burnt offering to the WorkChoices Taliban,'' he said.
Mr Noonan said the union was yet to see a decision from the Victorian government but would look at it ''with a view to ensuring the rights of our members are properly protected''.
Building unions believe the government's code is vulnerable to legal challenge. The state code allows the government to ban builders from bidding for government-funded work if they sign deals with unions that do not comply. The rules, which took effect from July, apply to deals signed in the private and public sectors.
The Lend Lease deal includes a number of likely breaches, including the flying of union flags, restrictions on outside labour and dictating the minimum pay rates of sub-contractors. Lend Lease subsidiaries such as Abigroup and Baulderstone could also be banned from July 1 next year.
Health Minister David Davis would not be drawn on possible legal issues or consequences for the industry. Lend Lease is the building partner for one of the two groups short-listed to build the $630 million Bendigo Hospital.
''The process is the important thing here,'' he said. ''Each of the bids will be assessed against the merits and the compliance with each of the aspects of the bid criteria, the tender documents. It will be assessed fairly and evenly.''
Opposition spokesman for industrial relations, Tim Pallas, labelled the policy full of ''dross and irrelevance''. ''You don't get productivity when you don't have work, and this government has failed to provide employment opportunity by getting on with the job and providing the construction industry with the capacity to go about its business and build things,'' he said.
He warned taxpayers would ultimately have to pay more if half of the construction industry was locked out of tenders.
Corrs workplace relations group head Val Gostencnik said Lend Lease would have a ''seriously arguable'' case as it had signed a deal that is allowed under federal law. By the state refusing to engage it, that could be a breach of the Fair Work Act's general protections provisions.
Mr Gostencnik said either Lend Lease or the Fair Work Ombudsman could bring action, but said it was much less likely unions could make a case.
University of Adelaide law expert Andrew Stewart has previously said the code could be vulnerable to challenge under the Fair Work Act.

matching bentonite clay body and glaze
Posted 03 May 2013 - 08:02 PM
Would it be worth the experimental time?
Posted 03 May 2013 - 08:28 PM
There is a large deposit of purple-colored bentonite in my local area. I know that most of the time bentonite is limited to no more than 1 -2 % in glazes and clay bodies. Has anyone ever experimented with bentonite as the main clay body? If I were to make up a bentonite clay body, could I make up a glaze with higher bentonite % that would match the shrinkage of the clay body without shivering or crazing? The clay also has fine particles of vermiculite which may produce a gold flecking appearance in a glaze/
Would it be worth the experimental time?
If the majority clay is bentonite I think it would be a sticky mess of a clay but it would still be worth the time to see what it does.
"But it does move," said Galileo under his breath.

Willkommen in Luzern!
Willkommen in Luzern!
| Posted by LA Phil Staff in Lucerne
The stage at the Kultur- und Kongresszentrum Luzern (KKL) in Lucerne as the LA Phil crew prepares for today's performance of The Gospel According to the Other Mary.
The orchestra and some of the LA Phil staff had a much-needed free day in Lucerne yesterday, but, as you can see by the work being done onstage, that free day didn't quite extend all the way across the operation. After arriving in Lucerne on Monday, the crew had to unload the three trucks it took to move the equipment from London to Lucerne and get started straightaway with setup. No rest for the weary - but, in all honesty, that's why they're the best.
Meanwhile, some of the staff were able to enjoy the Alpine beauty of this German-speaking Swiss city of just under 80,000 on the shores of Lake Lucerne. Notable sights include the Lake, the 14th-century Chapel Bridge (or Kapellbrücke, if you want to sound like a native) and the KKL itself, which was designed by French archtitect Jean Nouvel, who, in a fun little coincidence, will also be designing installations for our production of the The Marriage of Figaro in May!
The LA Phil - the reach is truly global!

It's Adele's Turn to Get Waxed (No, STILL Not Like That) at Madame Tussauds!
Adele is the latest celeb to join the ranks of wax museum Madame Tussauds. Get all the deets here!
-Lucia Peters
We don't know what it is about them, but wax museums fascinated us—and none more than wax museum giant Madame Tussauds. With its original location in London and branches in such cities as New York, Los Angeles, Sidney, and Amsterdam), Madame Tussauds is well known for its astonishingly accurate and lifelike reproductions of both historical figures and of-the-moment celebs—and guess who's joining the party next? Our girl Adele!
According to Vogue UK, the Oscar winner for this year's Best Original Song will be immortalized in wax this summer. Stated Madame Tussauds London PR manager Nicole Fenner, "Adele is the perfect addition to the music line up here in London. She's one of the world's hottest properties right now and one of our most requested personalities. In fact, we've seen a huge increase in requests for her figure since Skyfall was released and the timing seems perfect to honor her after such phenomenal success with the song." Hear, hear! Fenner continued, "She is one of the most influential British female artists and we know she is going to be a huge hit with our guests alongside our other pop greats. We're very excited to welcome her to Madame Tussauds London."
Read Kate Middleton Gets Waxed (No, Not Like That!) at Madame Tussauds!
What will Adele's inanimate lookalike be wearing? A knee-length polka dotted dress reminiscent of her 2012 Grammy Awards look. We heartily approve!
The figure will have its unveiling in July; an identical figure will also be displayed at the museum's Amsterdam location. Just in case you missed it, here's Adele's stunning performance of the Skyfall theme from the Oscars:
Tell us: If you could add any celeb to the Madame Tussauds pantheon, who would it be?

Donovan tops SEC coaching hierarchy
Published: Thursday, October 17, 2013 at 6:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 17, 2013 at 6:58 p.m.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Entering his 18th season at Florida, Billy Donovan is the dean of Southeastern Conference coaches.
And Donovan achieved a significant milestone last March that put him in elite SEC coaching company. Donovan picked up his 31st NCAA Tournament win in UF's Sweet 16 triumph over Florida Gulf Coast, moving past Kentucky's Adolph Rupp (30) for the most NCAA Tournament wins in league history.
Donovan said he wasn't even aware of the record when asked about it Thursday.
"Certainly humbled," Donovan said, "Any time your name gets mentioned with Adolph Rupp, just being at Kentucky for five years (as an assistant from 1989-94) like I was, an understanding what he did for that program and with the program is really remarkable."
Rupp coached when the NCAA Tournament expanded from eight teams to 16 teams to between 22 to 25 teams by the end of his career. But former Kentucky athletic director C.M. Newton still called Donovan's feat "a remarkable achievement." Newton coached against Rupp at Alabama and was the athletic director at UK when Donovan was an assistant under Rick Pitino.
"I never had any question that Billy was going to be successful in whatever he chose to do," Newton said. "When he really decided to be a head coach, I was very anxious to help him."
What made Newton so sure Donovan would be successful?
"His intelligence, his work ethic, his discipline, both self and exterior discipline," Newton said. "All of the things that you expect in a coach, he possessed. Billy was very innovative. He took the best of what Pitino did and made it his own."
Newton recalled taking a phone call from Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley in 1996 shortly after Lon Kruger left as UF's basketball coach. Newton recommended Donovan, who by then was the head coach at Marshall.
"I said 'If I were sitting in your chair, I'd go hire Billy Donovan, who is a young Pitino'," Newton said. "I said, 'Now if you interview him, you're going to think he's a player, because he looks so young.' "
Foley hired Donovan a month shy of his 32nd birthday. In 17 years since, Donovan has led the Gators to six Elite Eights, three Final Fours and two national titles. The knock on Donovan early in his career was he wasn't a good defensive coach, but last season Florida ranked third in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 54.4 points per game.
"It depends on players, whether you are good defensively or good on offense," Newton said. "Billy has always has had the ability to coach his way but do what his players do best."

Moving Mesh for electromagnetics
I am trying to simulate the moving magnet in time domain to see the effect of eddy force on the aluminium plate as the magnet moves up and down. I modelled the same problem in 3.5 and it simulated but the problem was it was giving warning of inverted mesh. However, I am trying to model this same problem in comsol 4.2. I have attached the file. I would highly appreciate it if someone can look at it and help me out.

Re: Moving Mesh for electromagnetics
A few suggestions:
Personally I do not trust 100% the translations, I know COMSOL has put a lot of effort to keep it backwards compatible, and this is, for me, handy to understand how to rebuild your model, but there are so many things that are different between the two v3 and v4 versions, not to say variable names etc, that I systematically remake my models in v4. It goes anyhow so quick now to construct a model that the time you do it is well spent to refresh the structure and clean up your model, I spend now 4-8 times more time to document all the useful results from a run than to set it up, solving anyhow is separate as this can go from a few minutes to a few days ;)
If you go for steady state oscillations, use rather the harmonic development frequency domain. (i.e. add to your model a frequency domain study in addition to your time series. Then go back to the MF (EMQA in 3.5) node and check then equation, while flipping between Time Dependent and Frequency Domain, you will notice then that the latter has a term more the Att (2nd time derivative of the magnetic vector potential) So for me it is more reliable to use Frequency domain for such a steady state oscillation. Note: this is not the case for a transient effect, then other consideration must be taken. Another reason, if you switch later to MEF you have no "time dependent" study option, only the frequency domain and there you do not even have any omega^2 term. I understand the reason is linked to the ACDC hypothesis versus RF hypothesis related to the model and wave length size, but there might well be other more subtle reasons also.
Then you apply force calculations on your aluminium part. But Aluminium has a mur of "1" hence as Air, if you have no difference in mu-r you have no magnetic flux direction change on the boundaries, and then for me (again) you cannot generate any magnetic forces. On the other hand, aluminium is a good conductor, when you move it in a magnetic field you generate Eddy currents in the conducting metal, this again generates a magnetic field that interacts with the static one and gives you Lorentz forces. But to resolve induced currents you need to solve for V and this is only done in MEF physics.
Somewhere in the models there are the falling magnet in a copper tube example (if you read French you have the description of the experience here
I believe I published somewhere either on the Forum I think this example probably in 4.1, but here we do not use ALE but the trick of linear sliding boundary
Good luck

Re: Moving Mesh for electromagnetics
Hi Ivar,
Thank you for your suggestions. I could not find the "Magnet falling in copper tube example" that you suggested. If you still have it can you please post it again. I looked all over the forum but couldn't find it. I would highly appreciate it as it will reduce my headache of formulating a solution to this problem.

Re: Moving Mesh for electromagnetics
I know that COMSOl has one too, you can try also that way via your rep, as I'm on travel, and certianly no longer sure where I have hidden that one among the many models I havemade ;)
But certainly, I willdo, if I find it back ...
Good luck

Sander van der Leeuw, the dean of Sustainability at Arizona State University, is among the six winners of the 2012 United Nations Champions of the Earth award. Professor van der Leeuw, an archaeologist and historian by training, was recognized in the science and innovation category for his research in human-environmental relations and the scientific study of innovation as a societal process. He is one of 51 Champion laureates who have received the UN award since it was launched in 2005.
The Champion of the Earth honor is the UN flagship environment award that recognizes outstanding visionaries and leaders for their inspiration and action on the environment. The list of previous Champion laureates includes former U.S. Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore, Mexican President Felipe Calderón, Chinese actress and environmental advocate Zhou Xun, Biomimicry Institute President Janine Benyus and former Soviet leader and Noble Peace Prize winner Mikhail Gorbachev.
This year's recipients include Mongolia's President Tsakhia Elbegdorj, Brazilian banker Fábio C. Barbosa, renewable energy entrepreneur Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, renowned Swiss aeronaut Bertrand Piccard and Kenyan Maasai conservationist Samson Parashina.
"Each of these six winners has stood up to be counted – often in the face of opposition from those not championing change but championing the status quo," said Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and the executive director of the United National Environment Programme (UNEP). "In doing so, these winners have and continue to display the political will, fresh thinking and creative solutions."
Professor van der Leeuw, a citizen of the Netherlands, first directed a series of regional archaeological research projects in Syria, Holland and France aimed at understanding the long-term evolution of the relationship between societies and their environments.
Later, his work focused on bringing a long-term perspective to the problems of present-day desertification and land degradation, observing how changes in the natural environment are linked to technological, sociological and economic changes. This involved as many as 60 researchers from 11 European countries and focused on research areas in all the Northern Mediterranean rim states. His team was the first to bring the complex adaptive systems approach to bear on the problems of the environment.
"As an environmental change and sustainability scholar, I think the foremost challenge is not so much in the science, though there are many areas where we don't know enough and more work needs to be done, but in communicating the inevitability of having to change our mindsets and attitudes to make sustainability the core of our everyday behavior – individual and political decision-making," van der Leeuw said.
Van der Leeuw first came to ASU as a visiting professor in 2000. At the same time, he also was a visiting professor at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico. He then became an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute, a position he still holds. He returned to ASU in 2004 to become the founding director of the School of Human Evolution and Social Change in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. In 2010, he was appointed dean of the School of Sustainability in ASU's Global Institute of Sustainability (GIOS), a strategic research area in the Office of Knowledge Enterprise Development.
"Sander is internationally recognized for his intellectual leadership for understanding how Earth's complex systems adapt to stress and the process of innovation and how both of these factors have affected human evolution and social change," said Rob Melnick, executive dean at ASU's Global Institute of Sustainability and its School of Sustainability. "Most importantly, Sander's teaching and research has significantly helped scores of students, faculty and researchers determine what can be done to ensure a successful, sustainable future."
The Champions of the Earth awards were presented at a ceremony on June 4 in Rio de Janeiro as one of the official events leading up to the United Nations Conference of Sustainable Development, known as Rio+20. The conference is being held 20 years after the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio where countries adopted Agenda 21, a comprehensive plan to rethink economic growth, advance social equity and ensure environmental protection. Thousands of world leaders and representatives from governments, the private sector and NGOs are expected to attend Rio+20, to held June 20-22, and focus their discussions on two themes: a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication, and an institutional framework for sustainable development.

Healthy Recipe Essentials: Frittataby Toby Amidor in Healthy Recipes, Healthy Tips, May 4, 2011
Make an extra-special egg dish for breakfast or brunch that kids and adults will love. Once you get the hang of the basic recipe, you can use whatever ingredients are in season (or in your fridge.) It's all about learning the simple technique — here's how you do it the healthy way.
Frittata Basics
Frittatas are of Spanish and Italian decent and are basically an open-faced omelet. They can be cooked in smaller pans for individual sizes or in larger pans and then sliced, similar to pizza.
Here are the simple steps to make a basic frittata:
- Preheat broiler.
- Pre-cook meats and veggies (if needed.)
- Pre-heat a nonstick sauté pan and coat with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk eggs and other ingredients; pour into heated pan.
- Stir eggs gently until they begin to set. Lift edge of eggs to allow raw eggs to run underneath. Continue to cook until eggs are almost cooked through. They should be slightly runny on top.
- Top with a small amount of cheese, if using.
- Place pan in broiler to finish cooking. It's done when it's slightly brown on top.
- Slide frittata out of pan onto serving dish.
Video: Watch Ellie create the perfect frittata.
The Eggs
Eggs contain a tremendous amount of nutrients. Many lighter recipes call for egg whites alone, but don't count out the yolks! They're packed with vitamin A , E, B12 and D, selenium and the antioxidant lutein. If you're looking to cut back on some calories but keep your frittata mixture thick, substitute half of the eggs for egg whites — 2 whites equals one whole egg. You can also opt to replace some of the eggs with egg substitute — 1/4 cup equals 1 large egg.
The Healthiest Mix-Ins: Fresh Veggies and Herbs
Pre-cook veggies like broccoli, asparagus, spinach, mushrooms, peppers, peas and pretty much any veggie your heart desires. This is a great way to use up those little containers of leftover veggies from the week's meals. The more, the merrier – you'll be adding about 25 calories per 1/2 cup of cooked vegetables and a ton of vitamins and minerals.
Fresh, raw veggies, like chopped tomatoes or baby spinach, add lots of flavor and don't require pre-cooking. Another great flavor-booster: fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, mint and basil.
The Calorie-Packed Extras: Meat, Cheese and Pasta
Trouble begins with the higher-calorie extras. Meats like bacon and sausage can add tons of calories, sodium and preservatives. If you really need a morning meat fix, choose a leaner meat like chicken breast, turkey or Canadian bacon. If only bacon will do, chop 1 or 2 cooked slices and sprinkle in so there's a little in every bite.
Frittatas are a great way to use up leftover pastas like orzo and spaghetti, but again, don't go overboard or the calories will add up quickly. Go for no more than 1/4 cup cooked pasta per serving.
Cheese is another add-in that can get out of control. To get maximum flavor for the calories, sprinkle just a little of a strongly-flavored hard cheese (about 1-2 tablespoons per serving) on top just before broiling. For soft cheeses like goat or feta, mix about 1 ounce per serving into the egg mixture.
Suggested Flavor Combinations
Here are some of our favorite frittata flavors:
- Broccoli, onion and cheddar cheese
- Lox and arugula
- Potatoes, basil and Gruyere cheese
- Onion, peppers and olives
- Cauliflower and feta cheese
- Tomato, asparagus and Fontina cheese

- Tomato, basil and part-skim mozzarella
- Turkey bacon, spinach and goat cheese
Recipes to try:

Astros can't connect for Keuchel in loss to Marlins
Hernandez's error leads to lone runs off lefty; Houston held to 3 hits
HOUSTON -- The bearded pitcher walked past the Astros' rookie in the clubhouse, offering a gesture by means of a fist pound and a few words.
The rookie made a costly error that kept Dallas Keuchel from a potential shutout Friday night. Still, Keuchel wanted to see how Enrique Hernandez was doing.
"You all right?" Keuchel asked.
"I told him I was sorry," Hernandez said. "I cost him the game."
The seventh-inning error from Hernandez interrupted a pitchers' duel and led to two unearned Marlins runs in the Astros' 2-0 loss Friday night at Minute Maid Park.
With one out in the inning, Jarrod Saltalamacchia smacked a drive directly to center field, and Hernandez -- who was playing in his sixth Major League game in center -- misjudged the ball, jumped to keep it from going over his head and couldn't make the catch.
"Should've read it a little bit longer," Hernandez said. "Should've made the play. It cost us the game."
Three batters later, Jeff Mathis broke up Keuchel's shutout with a two-out, two-run double to left-center field. Mathis had hit into a double play earlier in the game and was able to capitalize on the Astros' error.
"I was frustrated before. I had a chance to push a run across and wasn't able to do it," Mathis said. "I got another opportunity, and luckily I got it done."
Keuchel's shutout was gone and the pitcher blamed himself, even saying he needed to be better for his team. Yet the game's only two runs were unearned, as Keuchel appeared to return to his early-season form rather than his recent struggles.
"I think I've been pitching well, it's just the results haven't been there," Keuchel said. "You go through stretches like that as a pitcher. Even position guys do the same thing. The mental aspect of this game is tough, and like I said before, the tough survive, and I'm right there."
The results that Keuchel mentioned have shown a struggle. In his previous five starts, Keuchel had a 6.07 ERA and gave up 48 hits in 29 2/3 innings. His ERA was 2.39 before that stretch, and starts like the one he turned in Friday will inch that number back toward his mid-June mark.
The runs were limited from Keuchel, but the baserunners certainly weren't. Until the seventh inning, the Astros defense' frequently limited the damage from the Marlins nine' hits off Keuchel. In the fifth inning, with runners on first and third, the lefty forced a shallow flyout before inducing Mathis to hit into the double play.
Again in the sixth, Keuchel gave up a pair of leadoff singles before getting Giancarlo Stanton to fly out while breaking his bat. The Astros would again turn an inning-ending double play.
Then came that seventh inning as the 22-year-old Hernandez couldn't handle the ball knuckling at him in center field.
Houston's lineup, on the other hand, couldn't muster anything against Brad Hand, who pitched 7 1/3 innings and gave up just three hits.
"I felt like we had some pitches we could've hit," manager Bo Porter said. "We didn't put them in play efficiently."

Cooking with love for Sandy Knudsen
By Jane Lawson
, The Daily Times Herald
Each year Sandy Knudsen's husband, Rex, and daughters, Allissa and Katie, select two recipients for the memorial scholarship in Sandy's name.
Remember Sandy Smiling, a cookbook compiled in memory of Sandy Knudsen, of Carroll, is available for purchase through Sandy's husband, Rex, and at Special Moments in Carroll.
Each year Sandy Knudsen's husband, Rex, and daughters, Allissa and Katie, select two recipients for the memorial scholarship in Sandy's name.
Remember Sandy Smiling, a cookbook compiled in memory of Sandy Knudsen, of Carroll, is available for purchase through Sandy's husband, Rex, and at Special Moments in Carroll.
The recipe book, "Recipes and Remembrances Remember Sandy Smiling," contains hundreds of recipes for soups and salads, side dishes, main dishes, breads and rolls, desserts, cookies, and fun-filled advice such as "Recipe for a Happy Marriage" and "Recipe for Life" given by friends and family of the late Sandy Knudsen.
All of the recipes and pieces of advice were compiled to honor the memory of Sandy Knudsen of Carroll who lost her battle with melanoma in August of 2005.
After her death, Sandy's niece, Kim (Schon) Rohe , had the idea for the cookbook. Sandy's daughters, Allissa and Katie, describe their cousin Kim as "being very involved, creative and loves to do everything."
Not only would the cookbook serve as a way to raise money for The American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, an event Sandy loved, and The Sandy Knudsen Memorial Scholarship, but it was also a way for Sandy's family and friends to contribute recipes to a cookbook to remember Sandy.
The cookbook took about a year to put together. The family asked for recipes from those who knew and loved Sandy including family members, friends, and co-workers.
In 1996 Sandy was diagnosed with melanoma. She went through treatment for about a year before going into remission. Nine years later in February of 2005, Sandy was again diagnosed with cancer, this time Stage 4 melanoma. She and her husband, Rex, traveled to Bethesda, Md., to the National Institute of Health for experimental treatment.
By this time the cancer had spread to her organs and one lobe of Sandy's lung was removed. Sandy's sister, Mary Schon, who lived in Florida, took time off from her job to come stay with the Sandy and Rex's daughters, Allissa and Katie, during this time. Another one of Sandy's sisters, Jeanie Pletchette, of Winterset, traveled with Sandy and Rex to Maryland.
As months went on the tumors spread to Sandy's brain and the experimental treatments were discontinued. Sandy, a wife, a mother, a dear family member, a friend, and a teacher lost her long fight with cancer in August of 2005.
Sandy's death in August came right before the new school year at Kuemper Catholic Schools began. Allissa and Katie recall this time to be very emotional for everyone at school. That school year both daughters were to be together at St. Lawrence where Sandy taught sixth grade reading. Allissa said it was difficult, but "The teachers were super nice and really supportive."
Sandy was one of 10 children of Leo Schon, of Carroll, and the late Rosie Schon, Each year she was very involved with The American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Carroll. Katie said, "It was her favorite day of the year." One year she proudly served as Survivor's Chairperson. Sandy knew what it meant to be a survivor as two of her siblings are cancer survivors.
Each year, Sandy's side of the family puts together a team in her memory. The Schon Family Team wears shirts bearing Sandy's name and photo. They have also held other fund-raising events such as an auction to raise money for the scholarship fund and Relay for Life. One year family members ran a half marathon in Lincoln, Nebraska to raise money.
Rex, Allissa and Katie select the Sandy Knudsen Memorial Scholarship recipients. Two scholarships are awarded each year. One to an eighth-grader who will attend Kuemper Catholic High School and one to a graduating senior going on to college. Each applicant must submit an essay telling how cancer has affected their life.
Allissa, a junior at The University of Northern Iowa and Katie, a freshman also at UNI, take great precaution with their skin. They avoid the sun as much as possible and use liberal amounts of sunscreen. "Everyone has a one in 10 chance of skin cancer, but because of our mom, we have a one in three chance," explained Allissa. The sisters also see a dermatologist once a year to have their skin examined for any suspicious changes.
Allissa and Katie recall their mother cooking and baking for them as children. Sandy's specialties included Snickers salad, spaghetti and cavatini. She also used to make Scotcharoos especially for her niece and goddaughter, Kelly Pletchette.
However, after Sandy's diagnosis with celiac sprue in 1997, Sandy's cooking and baking changed. She began to find gluten-free versions of sweets such as chocolate chip cookies which are in the recipe book. Allissa and Katie said they preferred the GF version over the regular ones, but Sandy joked how the gluten-free flour was more expensive so the girls should eat the other ones.

We pay by the rules, says Google bossLouise Armitstead
Published: November 29 2012 - 3:00AM
THE head of Google in Britain has defended it against political attacks on foreign companies trying to cheat the system through tax practices.
Matt Brittin said it was up to politicians to legislate if they wanted to force change as he fought back against suggestions that multinationals were ''immoral''.
The issue is also a hot topic in Australia, with Google, Apple and other high-tech companies coming under fire for paying low taxes.
Mr Brittin said that while he did not mind the ''belligerent'' grilling he had received from MPs on the UK's Public Accounts Committee two weeks ago, the public debate was creating the view that all businesses were ''trying to do negative things'' and get away with it. ''It's the wrong bias to think everyone is out to cheat,'' he said. ''I find it frustrating when we're criticised, because I'm not immoral and neither is Google.
''If Google were immoral, I would not be working here. I'm proud of the way we operate.''
Mr Brittin, who rowed for Britain in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, was lambasted by the accounts committee for Google's low tax contributions, along with the bosses of Starbucks and Amazon.
Google paid just £6 million ($A9 billion) in corporation tax on £2.5 billion of UK revenues in 2011.
At the hearing Margaret Hodge, chairman of the PAC, said: ''We are not accusing you of being illegal. We are accusing you of being immoral.''
But Mr Brittin said MPs were blaming companies for a system that they had designed. ''Google plays by the rules set by politicians,'' he said. ''The only people who really have choices are politicians who set the tax rates.''
Insisting that Google pays its tax in America, Mr Brittin said: ''I would love it if Google had been invented in Cambridge. If Google had been created there and was a British business we'd be having a very different conversation now.''
An executive at the Morrisons supermarket chain became the latest retail heavyweight in the UK to call on the government to force foreign firms to pay more tax.
Richard Pennycook, its finance director, told Sky's Jeff Randall Live: ''We want a level playing field. What applies to one company should apply to another. There are big differentials in what companies are paying.''
Meanwhile, French ministers signalled they wanted to force online companies to pay full levies on earnings made in France.
Fleur Pellerin, the technology minister, said: ''There's a serious issue around fiscal harmonisation in Europe.''

If you caught it last week, I started a mini-series of sorts on the upcoming OutMusic Awards with the plan of introducing you to a handful of the nominees. The awards are two Mondays from today. Plus, it's also a buildup before we talk to one local who snagged three nominations. These are definitely the gay Grammys but without the big type of superstars. Maybe that will change someday.
Last week, we looked at those up for Outstanding pop song, but this time, I'm feeling a little more rock 'n' roll. Take a look and listen at the five nominees for Outstanding rock song. Who do you think should win? Listen to all five of the nominees below:

Light at the End of the Tunnel
Okay, I admit it. I've attempted to avoid anything and everything having to do with the Jerry Sandusky trial. Every time I hear anything about it, I feel an overwhelming sense of sadness.
But try as I might, I cannot avoid it. As a resident of Pennsylvania and a staff member of the NSVRC and PCAR, I am smack-dab in the middle of the drama that is unfolding in Bellefonte. I've spent the last few weeks trying to find something positive among all of the hurt and pain. It was discouraging to hear that, time and time again, individuals and institutions that should have intervened and stopped the alleged abuse did nothing.
But then, the other day, came a little light at the end of the tunnel. I read an article in the Washington Post by former Penn State linebacker LaVar Arrington. If you haven't read it yet, please do so now – Jerry Sandusky Trial: I wish I'd paid more attention to one young man's pain. While at PSU, Mr. Arrington knew and would interact on occasion with one of the alleged victims. He noted that the child often seemed mad or distant, and his perception was that he must be having issues at home. Little did he know that the pain and hurt this child was experiencing was as a result of the alleged abuse by Jerry Sandusky, a seemingly trustworthy and upstanding member of the PSU football enterprise. Mr. Arrington goes on to apologize to the victim for not doing more, and ends with this powerful statement:
"As a parent, I pray I can come to some peace about this and prepare my family for living in a world like this. I will never just wonder why a child is mad. I will never just assume ever again. I will always ask, and let them know that it's okay to tell the truth about why they are upset."
If there is one glimmer of light that has come out of this tragedy, it is that the doors of opportunity have been opened for those of us in the prevention field to talk about child sexual abuse and how it can be prevented. It has given us the opportunity to talk about early warning signs of abuse, about the importance of bystander intervention in these cases, and about the need for strengthening the policies of community organizations and programs to make them safe for all children.
I would love to hear how you have used this case or another high-profile case in your community to further your prevention efforts. Let me know by commenting below.

I have two problems with http://fixmysite.us/coronadoshores/service/#tab-1
How can I change the height of each of the content divs so its variable (height depends on whats inside) cause there seems to be no height unless I give the :target a height of 300px;Lastly I have 2 son the right side in 2 of the items, how do I make it on a new line (within that span)
Don't think you can. Maybe JS would be a better option.
Lastly I have 2 son the right side in 2 of the items, how do I make it on a new line (within that span)
You could use display: block; if you want it fully on a separate line.
span em {display: block;}
Can't you just set height: auto; on :target instead of a fixed height?
Dang, I though I tried that and it failed, but indeed it seems to work.
Sounds good I only tried it in Firebug and didn't really look much at the code, so I wasn't sure if you'd already tried it and found that it couldn't be used in this case for whatever reason.
No you can't do that because then you will lose the transition effect as transitions don't work to auto heights - which perversely is exactly how you want them to work most of the time. It's the same problem I ran into with this demo from a recent quiz.
Ah, I didn't even consider the transitions. Kinda sucks that it can't be done that way
Yes, I don't know what they were thinking as that is the exact behaviour you want most of the time:(
ok, thanks anyway though
