We've designed this tool to help you identify actions you can take in your home to reduce your energy consumption, costs, and greenhouse gas emissions. As you select actions to reduce your energy usage, we'll give you estimates (tailored to your household) of what you might expect to save. Using this tool you can "Take the Challenge" and join the many residents throughout New England who are reducing their energy costs and environmental impact.
Every gallon of gasoline produces 20 pounds of carbon dioxide, and therefore vehicles are a significant source of greenhouse gases. There are several ways to reduce automobile emissions.
Power plants use many fuel types (coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, hydro, nuclear) to produce electricity, and several of these fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) are rich in carbon creating a lot of carbon dioxide when they are burned to produce electricity. Reducing our electricity consumption lowers these emissions.
How we heat our homes and hot water are frequently the largest sources of household carbon emissions. Fortunately, there are many ways to reduce these numbers. There are some properties around the world which have been developed with this principle in mind. Real estate sector in Malaysia, for example, is famous for the common practice of reducing carbon emissions in their housing projects and new property developments. For this reason, real estate brokers and agents have the incentive to buy or sell properties which satisfies the requirement for reduced heating and hot water emissions. For more information on how the properties for sale in Malaysia incorporate lower heating emissions as part of their real estate development projects, contact your friendly neighborhood real estate agent. This practice in Malaysia should be encouraged all over the world indeed. For more details and listings about property for sale in Malaysia, do a Google search!
Recycling cans, plastic, paper, and glass, reduces greenhouse gas emissions since a lot of energy is used to create new materials and containers. Some types of recycling have a bigger impact on the environment than others, though all recycling is advantageous.
I pledge to join the growing number of residents throughout New England who are making simple lifestyle changes in order to reduce the risk of climate change and to increase our nation's energy security. I will do my part by taking the actions I have indicated above.

One of the many prominent families that lived in the Shire. The Goodbodies were connected with the Baggins Family through Bilbo's great aunt Lily, who married one Togo Goodbody. Among the family trees in Appendix C to The Lord of the Rings, their descendants are summed up in just two words: 'Various Goodbodies'. Bilbo acknowledged the connection at his famous Birthday Party: we know that at least some of the various Goodbodies were present at that feast.

Is José Manuel Barroso's reappointment as European Commission president in trouble? Probably not. But the jury is still out on whether he will secure formal approval from the European Parliament as early as mid-July. If he does not, it will be difficult to dispel the clouds of doubt that will linger over his future for two months or more.
Such uncertainty is hardly what the European Union needs at a moment when its banking system faces hundreds of billions of euros in losses this year and next, and when Germany and France, the eurozone's two biggest economies, appear utterly at odds over when and how to rebalance their public finances.

New Tools Ease Machine Safety Design
Rockwell Automation Releases Safety Automation Builder
Step 3 is design and verification, step 4 is installation and validation, step 5 is maintain and improve—and then it cycles back around to step 1 any time changes are made to the machine. "A lot of people don't do the validation and verification, but it's just as important as the design," Brogli said.
"Validation is the most important thing from a liability standpoint," Pienta added. "Just because it's a red device doesn't mean it's safe."
Tools Streamline Safety Engineering Tasks
To help users and machine builders through the necessary steps—bringing safety knowledge together to ease design and reduce engineering times—Rockwell Automation has developed a new piece of software that it showcased in its Safety Solutions booth. Safety Automation Builder (SAB) is a free software tool due for release in February 2013. It helps designers verify that a safety system meets all requirements, and also generates a bill of materials.
Users import a machinery drawing, at which point the software begins asking questions about risk assessment, functions, desired performance levels and more. Users can create their safety zones, pictorially showing pinch points, hazards, fixed and movable guards, etc., on the drawing, Brogli explained. They can select input, output and logic devices, dragging product images right onto the screen, he added. SAB will export the file to SISTEMA to show progress on how required safety levels compare with achieved safety levels. When everything is in order, the software can generate a bill of materials, including pricing.
Noting about 100 OEMs that came through the booth on Wednesday, Brogli said they can't wait to get their hands on the new software. Dan Pienta was in the Safety Solutions booth today, getting his first look at SAB. For him, the bill of materials functionality seemed to be particularly useful. There's so much variation in the types of devices available, he noted.
"It's very time-consuming to do all the research," he said, pointing out how easy the software would make it to pull together needed components and know exactly how much everything would cost. Pienta described machine engineering as a funnel, where there are ways to speed up production, but little that can be done to speed engineering time. "Anything we can do to open up that funnel is good."
SAB is particularly targeted at the OEMs, which are building machines every day and every week, Brogli said. He mentioned one customer, who spent seven days pulling together the safety components for his machine—printing out a drawing of the machine; marking hazards, guards, etc., on the drawing; designing the necessary safety; getting quotes for components; and more. Rockwell Automation put SAB to the task, and completed the job in 2.5 hours instead.
Supplementing SAB are pre-engineered complete safety solutions called Safety Functions. The first six are available from Rockwell Automation now, and 24 are planned in all, with the last of them released by mid-2013. The Safety Functions are designed to help users build a complete machinery safety system by providing detailed information for each safeguarding method. "There are 155 TUV safety experts within Rockwell Automation—more than any other automation company—and they're all chipping in," Brogli said.

A little while back I told you about William Rast creating a collection for Target. Well, the William Rast for Target lookbook is finally here. You'll find many of the high-end William Rast looks in this recession-friendly line.
I already see a leather jacket that I may add to my collection. Sidebar: does the male model look a little like Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) from Twilight in some of his side profile shots?? Maybe he does, but then again that might just be my Twilight obsession shining through…lol. Anyway, take a look at the collection below.

THE number of complaints made against Cumbria Police has risen by more than 31 per cent in a year.
Allegations made by members of the public have gone up by 31.4 per cent over the 12 months to November 2013, with the main issue being 'unprofessional conduct'.
"I think there's an element of people being encouraged to speak out," said Police and Crime Commissioner Richard Rhodes, whose office put together the report.
"But the constabulary accepts that if it doesn't interact well with the public, then it's going to make crime difficult to police by concensus."
Throughout 2013 there were 397 allegations made against the force, compared to 302 the year before. These included 169 of 'unprofessional conduct', 67 of 'oppressive behaviour' and 62 of 'incivility'.
The figures also reveal there have been two allegations of racially- discriminatory behaviour by the police. One was not upheld, and one remains under investigation.
In the south of the county, there were 96 alleged incidents, including 38 of 'unprofessional conduct', 18 of 'oppressive behaviour' and 18 of 'incivility'.
Mr Rhodes admitted the incivility 'concerned' him, but said: "We should also be clear these are allegations and not proven cases." The number of incidents spiked in March and again in July, although the cause is not made clear in the report.
Following its release, South Lakes MP Tim Farron said: "The Independent Police Complaints Commission has encouraged forces to record more complaints, and I hope that is what lies behind these figures," he said. "I will be asking urgently if that is the case, or if there is a worrying underlying trend."
However, he praised the force, adding: "The overwhelming number of people serving in our police service are dedicated and committed public servants. I cannot praise them enough, but when a complaint is made it's vital it is looked into."

CHARITY money and staff tips were stolen when thieves broke into an Oswaldtwistle dog grooming centre.
The burglars broke a window at Pampered Pets, in Union Road, taking hundreds of pounds of staff tips and around £10 from a collection tin for the PDSA.
Suzzan Gilbert, who set up the business seven years ago, said that around £800 had been taken and that she was 'absolutely gutted' when she discovered the theft.
The 48-year-old said: "It is lower than low. They did not need to take the money from the charity box, there was enough in the other tin.
"That money would have gone straight to the charity, which is very important to us."
Pampered Pets employs three staff who would have shared the contents of the tips box as a Christmas bonus.
Mrs Gilbert said: "I just want to make other businesses aware of what has happened.
"It is not really about the money, the staff have all worked so hard and they were all really upset when I told them."
A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "The burglary happened between 1pm on December 1 and 9.30am on December 2.
"Somebody has approached the rear of the business and smashed the windows, gaining access to the downstairs business premises.
"An investigation is now under way."
Anybody with information is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

This seriously deserves 100/10. I'll give you a 9 though because i want to encourage/blackmail you into making it longer with a better transition. (pwetty pwease?!? ^_^ )
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I agree with Katser.
The lack of vocals is why I come here and leave the radio off. But he said it better then I could. Make longer please?
Rated 5 / 5 stars
In my Opinion
I don't believe it needs any vocals. One thing I have loved about your music is that it speaks for itself. I know the radio always has the lyrics in them typically, But I like the music better without. There have been occasions I didn't download a song of yours or rated it a 4 instead of a five because I didn't particularly care for the vocals. Thats just me though. Everyone has there opinion.
And just to be fair, there have been plenty of your songs that are the way they are because of the lyrics/vocals. Had it not been for them the song would be as strong. For instance "Skydivin'"
In the case of this song though, and maybe future songs that you may try to make sound like your radio station, maybe give a version with lyrics and without?

Thank you for your honesty -- and I suspect many people who are reading this can identify with you. Nothing is more final than death, and once it comes to someone we know, the opportunity to express our love ... or thank them for what they meant to us ... or ask for their forgiveness ... is gone forever.
This is one reason why we need to look beyond any problems or disagreements we may be having, and do our best to overcome them. The Bible says, "Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy (i.e., pure)" (Hebrews 12:14). It also tells us to learn to forgive others, even if we think they are in the wrong and we are in the right: "Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you" (Colossians 3:13).
But we also need to learn to encourage others and help them overcome their problems. Even a quick word of encouragement may change someone's attitude and help them get on the right road in life. Don't wait until it's too late.
At the same time, never forget that someday we all will die -- and then it will be too late to seek God. Don't let this happen to you, but by faith turn to Christ and ask Him to forgive you and come into your life. The Bible says, "Now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2).

Premier League footballer Fabrice Muamba remains in a critical condition in hospital after collapsing during an FA Cup tie.
The 23-year-old "remains anaesthetised" in intensive care at the London Chest Hospital after falling to the ground at White Hart Lane in front of millions of television viewers watching the sixth-round tie between Tottenham Hotspur and his club, Bolton Wanderers.
Club manager Owen Coyle thanked fans for their support, adding: "All our thoughts and prayers are for Fabrice and his family at this time."
A joint statement from the hospital and Bolton Wanderers read: "Fabrice Muamba remains in a critical condition in intensive care in the Heart Attack Centre at the London Chest Hospital. He was admitted to the hospital yesterday evening after collapsing at White Hart Lane, where he sustained a cardiac arrest during the FA Cup quarter final against Tottenham Hotspur.
"Fabrice received prolonged resuscitation at the ground and on route to the London Chest Hospital, where his heart eventually started working.
"As is normal medical practice, Fabrice remains anaesthetised in intensive care and will be for at least 24 hours. His condition continues to be closely monitored by the cardiac specialists at the hospital."
Coyle added: "Fabrice's family have asked me to pass on their thanks for the many, many kind messages of support from not only Bolton fans but also fans from clubs across the country and abroad. All our thoughts and prayers are for Fabrice and his family at this time. The family would also like to thank the media for respecting their privacy at this time."
Fans left flowers, shirts and scarves at Bolton's Reebok Stadium close to the players' entrance and the location of the club's remembrance book.
One message written on a card with a Manchester United emblem on it read: "Our thoughts and prayers are with you. One game, one family." A Bolton flag was signed with the message: "Just get back to full health. Praying for you."
Two Bolton shirts were left at the scene, signed with messages of support.

Despite fervent opposition from special-education advocates, Louisiana's top school board Thursday approved a $3.5 billion spending request for public schools.
The vote was 8-3 and followed six hours of testimony.
A final tally by the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education is set for Friday but no change is expected.
The plan would then go to the Legislature, which begins its 2013 regular session on April 8.
The proposal, which is called the Minimum Foundation Program would freeze state aid per student for the fifth consecutive year amid disappointing state revenue collections.
It also includes funds for the state's controversial voucher program, which has been declared unconstitutional by a state district judge and is set for review by the state Supreme Court on March 19.
But the key dispute that dominated the hearing focused on a proposed change in how the state funds about 82,000 special education students.
State Superintendent of Education John White, who initiated the new financing plan, said it would only amount to a few dollars per student initially.
White also said the proposal, which is aimed at improving the state's 29 percent graduation rate for students with disabilities, includes considerable testimony from a wide range of advocates.
"We have taken a ton of input," he said.
But dozens of witnesses took turns criticizing the planned change.
They repeatedly punctuated their views with frequent applause amid charges that the new funding method was hastily drawn and lacks enough real-world views.
"This is being railroaded," said Lottie Beebe, a BESE member who lives in Breaux Bridge. "That is why we resent it."
White, who is Gov. Bobby Jindal's chief public schools lieutenant, said the proposed MFP maintains funding at current levels despite state financial problems.
He said voucher dollars are included because no final court ruling has been made.
Opponents included the Louisiana Association of School Superintendents, the Louisiana Federation of Teachers and the Louisiana School Boards Association.
Michael Faulk, president of the superintendents' group, said last weekend more than 50 of his colleagues discussed the proposed MFP.
Faulk said they concluded that it would permit more funding cuts for local districts and the special education plan is far more than a pilot, as White calls it.
Scott Richard, executive director of the LSBA, said the MFP proposal fails to take into consideration a possible hike in the state sales tax as part of a tax overhaul, which he said would hurt the ability of local districts to renew or enact sales tax initiatives for schools.
The state now spends $313 million for its special education population, with aid based on the number of such students.
Under White's plan, money would be spent based on a student's disability, where and how the student is educated and academic performance.
However, the change for the 2013-14 school year would be limited to 10 percent of the state aid, which the superintendent said will allow educators to review how it is working next year.
Laureen Mayfield, who heads the Louisiana Special Education Association, disputed a key figure in the debate — the 29 percent graduation rate for special education students.
Mayfield said some other states with higher rates allow those students, unlike Louisiana, to earn a traditional high school diploma if they meet their individual education plan.
Walter Lee, the longest-serving member of BESE, urged colleagues to approve the MFP without changes in how students with disabilities are funded.
"I don't believe we have ever had an issue where we had so many groups asking for more input than they have had," Lee said. "That ought to tell us something."
Lee's motion died for lack of a second.
The vote technically represents approval from BESE's Administration and Finance Committee.
However, since all 11 panel members voted — a sign of the issue's high profile — the tally is tantamount to action by the full board.
Voting "yes" on the motion were Chas Roemer, of Baton Rouge; Connie Bradford, of Ruston; Jim Garvey, of Metairie; Judy Miranti, of New Orleans; Kira Orange-Jones, of New Orleans; Holly Boffy, of Youngsville; Stephen Waguespack, of Baton Rouge; and Jay Guillot, of Ruston.
Voting "no" were Beebe, Carolyn Hill, of Baton Rouge, and Lee, of Mansfield.

Hey there, time traveller!

For anyone looking for the ultimate definition of nonsense, we humbly submit the following.
A dispute panel, created by the federal government, decided the federal government owes the City of Winnipeg more money in lieu of property taxes for a federally owned museum.
If you're confused, don't feel bad. This is not an easy story to understand, in large part because this tangle of intergovernmental relations defies logic and rational thought.
Specifically, this is yet another dispute involving federal funding of the soon-to-be-opened Canadian Museum for Human Rights. This time, the dispute centres on exactly how much money the federal government will contribute to Winnipeg to compensate the city for the provision of services.
Thanks to the Constitution Act, the federal government is not required to pay property taxes on any properties or assets it owns. Instead, it is supposed to "voluntarily" contribute a payment in lieu of taxes (PILT) to municipalities for services provided.
At face value, the issue of PILT seems rather innocuous. But this is no small matter for the federal treasury.
The federal government owns some 22,500 buildings and other physical assets worth more than $7 billion and located in approximately 1,250 municipal jurisdictions. In 2012, Ottawa paid PILT totalling $1.03 billion. Winnipeg received $12 million of that total.
The Dispute Advisory Panel, a body set up to determine just how much PILT Ottawa should pay municipalities for federal buildings, decided this week the federal government owes Winnipeg more money. Much more money.
The CMHR has already paid the city $1.5 million. However, the city says the museum owes another $4.4 million up to the current tax year. The final decision on exactly how much will be paid has been left to federal Public Works Minister Diane Finley.
CMHR communications director Angela Cassie said there will be a great deal more negotiation between the city and Public Works and Government Services Canada, which manages federal properties, before a final valuation of, and a tax bill for, the museum is set.
Until then, the museum is setting aside a portion of its $21-million annual operating budget for PILT. Cassie added she expects the CMHR will ask Ottawa for additional operating money to cover the cost of escalating PILT.
Unfortunately for the CMHR, Ottawa has shown little interest in helping federal museums cover PILT.
The Canadian Museum of History (formerly the Canadian Museum of Civilization) has suffered through several PILT disputes with the City of Gatineau (formerly Hull). Recently, its request for an increase in funding to cover PILT was turned down, and more than a dozen staff were laid off.
Ottawa and the City of Montreal have fought for years over PILT owing for parts of the Port of Montreal and assets of the CBC, with no resolution yet.
In 2012, the Supreme Court of Canada heard a dispute between Halifax and the federal government over PILT owing on Citadel Hill, a national park in that city's downtown. In that decision, the federal government was warned it cannot set PILT at "unreasonably low levels." It seems clear Ottawa hasn't heeded the court's advice.
In the current dispute, Ottawa initially claimed the CMHR was worth $1. Although the value of a yet-to-operate, mostly empty cultural facility is open for debate, surely it's higher than the cost of an hour of street parking in front of the museum.
The specific dispute involving the CMHR does have particular aspects that have complicated matters.
The CMHR was originally envisioned to be a private, not-for-profit entity supported by Ottawa but not owned and operated by government. As such, it would not have been required to pay a grant in lieu of property taxes.
When Ottawa agreed to a $21-million operating budget, it did not account for PILT because, frankly, nobody thought the CMHR would have to pay anything to the municipality. Now that PILT must be paid, Ottawa has responded with all the maturity of a cranky preschooler who has been told it's bedtime.
It seems rather childish to accept the responsibility of owning and operating national cultural assets and then balk at paying a fair grant to the municipalities in which they are located.
It is a further insult to freeze operating grants to these museums and demand increased PILT costs start coming out of operating budgets.
Is there any hope Ottawa will see the absurdity of the situation it has created? Unfortunately, it's very hard to preach sense to the nonsensical.

More charges in the Commonwealth of Corruption
Another day and more allegations of political corruption in Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth of Corruption.
The state Attorney General's Office on Wednesday announced that criminal charges have been filed against three top former officials of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, the Democrats' former leader in the state Senate, two other turnpike officials and two turnpike vendors.
They're accused of bid rigging, bribery, conflict of interest, conspiracy and theft — you know, all the usual behavior we've come to expect from so many Harrisburg "public servants."
The latest charges center on Bob Mellow, the former Democrat leader already in prison for campaign corruption. A grand jury alleges he directed an aide to help key supporters obtain turnpike contracts. That, allegedly, in return for cash, travel, entertainment and political contributions.
Also charged, a who's who of former Turnpike Commission muckety-mucks — former chairman Mitchell Rubin, former chief executive Joe Brimmeier and former chief operating officer George Hatalowich.
Mr. Brimmeier, you'll recall, was said to be the top pick of Allegheny County Chief Executive Rich Fitzgerald to take over the Port Authority. And Mr. Rubin, you'll remember, was ousted and served time in another Harrisburg scandal involving convicted state Sen. Vince Fumo, also in the pokey.
At this rate, there soon won't be a Pennsylvania official not implicated in criminal behavior.

ART VIEW; Getting High on Moral Indignation
By John Russell
Published: August 6, 1989
Short of unhooking the telephone, canceling the newspaper, taking an ax to the television set and hiding under the sofa, it would by now be impossible not to have heard of the pseudo-controversy about the photographs of the late Robert Mapplethorpe and Andres Serrano, the intervention of Senator Jesse Helms on the floor of the Senate and the possible effects of it all on the future of the National Endowment for the Arts.
As often happens with pseudo-controversies that in some way involve the arts, this one has been blown up as if with a bicycle pump to the size of a Goodyear blimp and is by now way up in the sky and heading no place in particular. It is time that it should be ballasted, and perhaps brought down to earth, by some rudimentary but essential facts. Contrary to what has been said - not least by present and former panel members who should have known better than to dump on their colleagues - the National Endowment for the Arts is not in the business of blasphemy, pornography and the wholesale propagation of sadomasochistic and homoerotic activities.
In the year 1987, 4,699 grants were made by the endowment, and in all $151.4 million was spent on them. In the year 1988, grants once again numbered above 4,600, at a total cost in Federal awards of $163.3 million. Of the more than 9,000 grants that were made in those years, precisely two have been called in question on grounds of indecency.
The awards cover the entire spectrum of artistic and para-artistic activity. They range from small-press publishing to the Glimmerglass Opera Theater in Cooperstown, N.Y., from the department of prints and drawings at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston to grants in 1988 to more than 200 theater companies through the country, and from film, radio and television in all their ramifications to a salute to the lifetime achievement of a 92-year-old bobbin lacemaker in South Dakota.
Given that every one of these 9,000 and more grants was bound to annoy somebody, somewhere, it seems to this critic that the level of recorded outrage is amazingly low. From what I know at first hand of the frenzies of often misdirected rage that are aroused by governmental support for the arts in Britain, France, West Germany and elsewhere, I can only say that the National Endowment for the Arts has to have been doing something right. And if sometimes people are disturbed, disconcerted and emotionally wrung out by something that the endowment has favored, what of it? It is the role of art to make us run barefoot through the fire, from time to time, and come out unscathed at the other end.
The words ''e pluribus unum'' may well come into our minds as we read the endowment's annual report, page by page, and note the evenhanded steadiness with which a new potential for free expression has been given to every state in the Union. We need to be very careful before we allow that freedom of expression, with all it involves in the way of an occasional exasperation, to be diminished.
Every reader of those annual reports - and I wonder how many such readers there really are among those who have rushed to do dirt on the endowment - can disagree with this or that emphasis in its bounties. But it remains an astonishing fact that in the close on 25 years' life of the National Endowment, the total number of cases of moral or other outrage has had trouble crawling into the low double figures.
Current hostility against the endowment dates from the day, just a few weeks ago, when the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington reneged on its agreement to present the exhibition of photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe. (The exhibition had been shown without incident in Philadelphia and Chicago, and is slated to go on to Hartford, Berkeley, Calif., and Boston after its improvised showing through Aug. 13 at the Washington Project for the Arts, 400 Seventh Street, N.W., Washington.) The work of Robert Mapplethorpe was anything but an unknown quantity at the time when the Corcoran Gallery decided not to show the exhibition that was scheduled to open on July 1. Nor was the endowment its prime sponsor. It had had the financial support of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the City of Philadelphia, neither of which is in the business of pornography and both of which must be assumed to have known what was in it.
Mapplethorpe had been shown in private galleries the world over since the late 1970's. Liked or loathed, he was a key figure in the dissemination of a certain sensibility. To a degree that is taken for granted by some, but arouses surprise and revulsion in others, that sensibility is widespread. In a more furtive, not to say roundabout and money-grubbing way, it is present in images that we now accept as a matter of course in movies, on television and in advertising.
It is a part of the world around us, and of the mores for which this generation will be remembered. Many people will find it convenient to regard Mapplethorpe as the fallen angel, the Lucifer who stands at the head of an infernal troop.
He had exhibitions last year at the Whitney Museum in New York, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the National Portrait Gallery in London. With credentials like those, who would have begrudged a relatively small grant of public money for a show that was due to go to five prestigious locations in the United States?
It had long been a matter of universal knowledge in the art world that homoerotic subjects played a large part in Mapplethorpe's work. But those who went to his museum exhibitions in search of titillation were often surprised to find that, as a portraitist, Mapplethorpe could reach into the depths of the human being before him and set out what he found there in a spirit of affectionate compassion.
If posterity wants to know what Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Alice Neel and Louise Nevelson looked like in old age, Mapplethorpe will be its best guide. With younger people, likewise, he could deploy an unfeigned tenderness that was remote from sentimentality. We remember the sweet shrewdness with which he portrayed his lifelong friend and contemporary, the poet and performer Patti Smith. That came out, too, in the giddy, ecstatic, high-flying portrait of himself as a young man as yet untouched by illness in 1975.
But of course it was not those images that caused the Corcoran to cut and run. Nor was it the photographs of flowers, or even the photograph of a big flat fish on a sheet of newspaper. It was the erotic subjects. Predilections entrenched since antiquity were bodied forth in Mapplethorpe's photographs with a power, a candor, a directness and a simplicity of expression that many found disgusting. To them, a visit to a major Mapplethorpe exhibition was a season in hell.
In matters such as this, moral indignation is a leaded fuel that fires up fast. It is also a pollutant that can foul the air and cloud the brain. This critic has not seen the photograph by Andres Serrano that shows a crucifix drowned in the photographer's urine. The idea of that image has understandably caused deep offense to people for whom the crucifix is the most sacred of all symbols. If a grant of public money was knowingly made to the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, N.C., on the sole strength of that photograph, it was an imbecility.
But it was not an imbecility that threatens the moral stature of the Republic. In the huge general context of the endowment's activities, it was an error of judgment. But it is one thing to regret that error, and quite another to talk of fining the endowment, penalizing the grantees, cutting the endowment's budget, padding its panels with moralizers and submitting future grants, one by one, to political supervision. That, too, would be an imbecility, and one that eventually could make life less rewarding for virtually every citizen of the United States.
Not to see this is to put intelligence on hold. Nothing could be farther from the truth than that the endowment has routinely promoted obscenity, sadomasochism, homoeroticism and what Senator Helms calls the ''denigration of the objects or beliefs of the adherents of a particular religion or nonreligion.'' What it has done is to put together, piece by vulnerable piece, a program that brings help and comfort to a vast range of activities, almost all of which are designed ''to give delight, and hurt not.''
It is our duty not to side with those who are alarmed by the idea - well known since Plato's day - that changes in the arts may be followed by changes in the laws of the land. What was once regarded as inadmissible - in the theater, in music, in painting, in the novel, in poetry and in sculpture - has often marked a decisive turn in human affairs. The French Government not so long ago subsidized performances of plays by Jean Genet that would once have been closed by the police. The British Government has smiled upon the portrayal of the present Queen of England at the National Theater in a way that would have been a criminal offense even 30 years ago. Neither nation has regretted these things.
We do not need a bunch of politicians to tell us what we can read, what we can listen to, what we can see on the stage and what we can look at in our museums. We are perfectly capable of judging that for ourselves, just as we are capable of knowing how rarely there has been a tribune of the people who did not sometimes get too high on the leaded fuel, the sanctified pollutant, of moral indignation.

Electrical Questions? Ask an Electrician Online.
Hello, my name is XXXXX XXXXX I'm here to answer any of your electrical questions.
On the receiver Do the wires say line and load? What other colors are on the remote?
the remote has a red and a white line in. On the other side of the remote is a white, blue, and black out.
The black and red coming from the ceiling more than likely go to 2 separate switches on your wall. If you connect both you will have to have both switches either on or off in order to disconnect power going to the fan. There is nothing wrong with doing that. Just be aware. Normally I connect either the red or black wire to the receiver and wire nut the other wire for safety.
Thanks Rick! When I took down the old ceiling fan there was a blue wire that went to the red ceiling wire and the black went to the black. The fan and light had pull chains to control them, but only one wall switch that had power running to the unit. If you think I should wire nut the blue line, that is what I'll do. I just don't want to blow the house up.
Here is what I would do in this scenario. Because you only have one wall switch, let me ask you. When you turned of the switch did both the fan and light shut off before?
Yes, depending upon which pull chains had been activated.
Say you had both the fan and light on, and you turned the switch off Did both the fan an light shut off?
Great then you can go ahead and put both wires onto the red. It will not make a difference since the switch controls both of the wires. I just wanted to make sure that 1 of the wires was not hot all the time and the other switched. So you're in good shape. I hope I have provided excellent service for you. Thank you for your time, and please don't forget to rate my service.
Great, thanks Rick....have a great day.

Plainness (Llaneza)
Jorge Luis Borges, 1968
The garden's grillwork gate
opens with the ease of a page
in a much thumbed book,
and, once inside, our eyes
have no need to dwell on objects already fixed and exact in memory.
here habits and minds and the private language
all families invent
are everyday things to me.
What necessity is there to speak
or pretend to be someone else?
The whole house knows me,
they're aware of my worries and weakness.
This is the best that can happen.
What heaven perhaps will grant us:
not to be wondered at or required to succeed
but simply to be let in
as part of an undeniable Reality,
like stones of the road, like trees.
Borges sometimes crops up on those lists of conjectured asexuals of the past — you know, the endless lists that grow on the Wikipedia article and have to be trimmed back like vines. We have to accept that anyone who died before the very recent appearance of an asexual identity can never be anything but an object of conjecture in this regard. It's true that sexual lust ranked extraordinarily low among Borges's favored themes, but plenty of scholars will tell you he was gay, which is really just as credible. Whatever the case, I would imagine him a sympathetic soul and certainly a voice we can turn to. This poem in particular stands among my favorite expressions of unadorned love.

Recognizing call backs
Does anyone have a script that shows how the IVR can recognize a call that has called back within the last 30 minutes? I reading you can use Session ID and map it to a phone number so that the person does not have to go through the IVR again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
No problem.
So there is an idea of a Session Object.
For every new Contact, there is a new Session Object created by the system, automatically.
In order to interact with it, you must create a Session variable to hold a reference to the Session Object, and then use the Get Contact Info step to store the Session Object reference in your Session variable.
For the remainder of that Contact's life (until the caller disconnects) you can store and retrieve information from the Session Object.
This is a handy way of implementing persistent data accross multiple script transfers as the data in the Session follows the caller around within UCCX.
One additional thing you can do with Sessions is recall them in the future. But the time limit on how far in the future is limited to a System Parameter for Session Idle Timeout; a default of 30 minutes by default. Don't forget what I said eariler: This timer resets every time you access the Session Object!
Sessions are normally referenced by an Object ID, but this is a long string of alphanumeric mess, and how do you manage the mapping of Object ID to Caller? Well, there just happens to be a feature to create that mapping for you. It's in the Session Mapping Step. You can use anything to create the mapping. In fact I would encourage you to prefix the mapping you use with the application name, such that if you implement this solution in multiple applications, you can have a per application mapping. E.g., mapping = "helpdesk" + calling_number
Now, when the caller calls back, they technically have two Session Obects: the one from < 30 minutes ago, and the new one from this return call. It's now time to figure out which one you will use. This is actually a very easy task: you "attempt" to get a Session Object, based on a Mapping ID, and if it does not exist, your Session Object will be == null. Otherwise, you found the previous session. And from this point forward you can simply use this retrieved Session Obect instead of the new Session Object. Just ignore the new one. Nobody likes the new guy anyway. Am I right?
Ok, how are you feeling about Sessions now?

Continued rumors about rock musician Jon Bon Jovi moving the Buffalo Bills to Toronto have given the rocker a bad name among Bills fans.
A Bills fan group that called itself 12th Man Thunder has started a drive to get Buffalo-area bars to stop playing Bon Jovi music in their juke bozes, and to block bands and DJs at their venues from playing his music.
These so-called "Bon Jovi-Free Zones" are in response to reports that Bon Jovi is linked to a Toronto-based group that's looking to buy the team and move it to Canada's largest city. Bon Jovi has been praised by several NFL owners – among them Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and New York Giants owner John Mara – as a worthy member of a potential ownership group. But Mara and several owners who have talked at this week's owners' meetings in Atlanta have said the Bills deserve to stay in Buffalo. A source told NFL.com that whoever buys the team has to be "prepared to keep the Bills in Buffalo."
The group started a petition against Bon Jovi that's drawn upwards of 4,000 signatures so far. And more than two dozen businesses have pledged to not play Bon Jovi so far.
Bills CEO Russ Brandon told WGRZ that there's been a lot of interest so far in buying the Bills, who are for sale in the wake of owner Ralph Wilson Jr.'s death this spring. Among those linked to the purchase are Donald Trump, Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas and the Jacobs family that owns Delaware North. Brandon said an investment bank would likely be chosen before the end of May to vet out the potential buyers. He said there is no timetable for the purchase process to wrap up.

I stalked these prints forever and finally treated myself! They are even cooler than I imagined! I should have waited until they arrived to buy frames...they were listed as 18x24inch prints so I thought they would fit perfectly inside an 18?24 mat. There's a little white showing around the print...but oh well it's still love!

Even prettier than I imagined!! I love it and it was shipped super safe, arriving in perfect condition. Thanks! Would buy again!!
Handmade, Heck Yeah!
Hello and welcome to Heck Yeah Prints.
I'm Amanda James, Heck Yeah Prints' in house illustrator, printer, packager, mailer, convo answerer, and cat cuddler. I have always been a compulsive doodler, but I struggled to find a way to share those handmade doodles with the world. I pulled my first print in 2008 and immediately fell head over heels for the printmaking process. Screen printing and lithography empower me to create multiples of my illustrations without sacrificing the handmade qualities that I cherish.
I began selling my prints and local craft fairs in Portland, Oregon. It was an honor when my customers would tell me stories about where they would display my prints. A seahorse could end up in a young couples first nursery, while an owl became a birthday gift for a spunky grandmother. It was all so exciting! I couldn't believe that my prints could become a part of other people's lives and memories. In 2010, I took the plunge and opened Heck Yeah Prints and I have had the opportunity to hear more of customers' stories from all around the world.

Private causes of action exist for violations of the state and federal securities laws and for common law claims such as negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and common law fraud. These causes of action are generally available to customers in any claim against their broker or brokerage firm. Most states provide a statutory right for the recovery of interest, statutory punitive damages, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees for the violation of the state securities laws. Most of these claims may be brought in arbitration.
Nearly all brokerage firms require their customers to submit all disputes arising in connection with their securities account to binding arbitration, before a forum sponsored by a Self Regulatory Organization, such as the FINRA Regulation, Inc., These Self-Regulatory Organizations ("SROs"), as a condition of membership, require your broker and your brokerage firm to arbitrate all eligible claims involving public customers upon demand of the customer. The agreement to arbitrate is customarily found in all brokerage new account agreements, margin agreements, option agreements, and may appears on the back of most monthly customer statements. By agreeing to arbitrate all disputes between you and your broker in arbitration, you are giving up your constitutional right to a trial before a jury. However, arbitration is, generally, a quick and cost effective method of resolving disputes.
Arbitration claims will usually move to a final hearing within 12-14 months from the date of filing of your claim. Usually expensive and time-consuming depositions and interrogatories are not allowed. Securities arbitration panels are usually familiar with securities related issues, and therefore, expensive expert testimony is only required in the more complex matters. What to Expect
Arbitration begins with the filing of a Statement of Claim by the Claimant, against the other party, typically a clients broker or brokerage firm (called the Respondents). The Statement of Claim sets forth the factual and legal reasons as to why the customer thinks he or she is entitled to relief. While there are no formal pleading requirements, the Statement of Claim is the equivalent of a Complaint that would otherwise be filed in court.
The cost to file a Statement of Claim depends on the amount of the claim. Filing fees and the Hearing Session Deposit will vary, depending on the dollar amount of your claim. Remember that it is extremely difficult to determine your damages and the actual amount of your claim without a professional analysis.
Service of the initial pleading or Statement of Claim is made by FINRA on its members. Under FINRA Rules, Customers are not required to arbitrate claims against former FINRA members who have been expelled or have had their registrations revoked.
The location of a hearing is usually at the FINRA hearing location nearest to the customer at the time the customer's account was opened or where the customer resided at the time the transactions or the events giving rise to the claims occurred.
Respondents are supposed to respond within 45 days from the service of the Statement of Claim. Answers or Responses typically contain Respondents' version of the facts, and the legal reasons why the customer is not entitled to relief, or why the claim ought to be dismissed. Sometimes, Answers or Responses may contain copies of important documents, including correspondence or e-mails, demonstrating why the facts are different than as alleged in the Statement of Claim.
After Respondents enter their appearances, the parties are provided arbitrator selection materials. Each party is provided with certain biographical information, including the educational and employment background, for each proposed arbitrator. Interests and potential conflicts are disclosed, and previous Awards decided by that arbitrator are also available for review. From these lists and summaries, parties rank, in order of preference, prospective arbitrators A Party may strike, without cause, four of the ten arbitrators listed for each position on their Panel. If the Parties do not agree on proposed arbitrators, or if the Parties strike all available arbitrators, then the FINRA will assign an available arbitrator, whom can only be removed or challenged for actual cause or a conflict of interest.
Customer cases involving claims in excess of $100,000 are typically heard by a Panel of three individual arbitrators, consisting of three public arbitrators. Public arbitrators are typically lawyers, retired judges, professional mediators, and other individuals. Industry arbitrators are individuals with a current or recent affiliation with the securities industry, and for the most part are registered representatives, retired registered representatives, branch managers, analysts, accountants, floor traders, or support personnel.
Once a Panel is appointed, a pre-hearing conference is held where the parties and the Panel scheduled final hearing dates, discovery deadlines, and other administrative matters.
FINRA has adopted a Discovery Guide setting forth those documents and information that are presumptively discoverable in customer cases. Generally, depending on the issues in any particular case, customers should preserve and be expected to produce all written communications between them and their broker, all documents relating to any other securities accounts, together with their tax returns for a period of at three years before they opened their account. Customers are also expected to provide detailed information relating to their business interests, education, and financial condition. We normally expect to produce these documents to the brokerage firm within forty-five days of the date that the answer to the claim is due or filed, whichever is earlier and we will expect the brokerage firm to do the same. This exchange should happen automatically, without arbitrator or staff intervention but frequently we must move to compel production of documents.
Among other things, brokerage firms are expected to produce all documents relating to the customer's account, including new account forms, customer statements, confirmations, and communications between the customer and the broker. Records of complaints or disciplinary action against the broker should also be made available together with information and the brokerage firm in most cases should also produce documents relating to the brokerage firm's supervision of the broker, the broker's training, and the broker's basis of compensation. In connection with the recommendation of any particular security, the broker or brokerage firm is also obligated to produce documents relating to the basis of any such recommendation, if any, along with information relating to any business relationship with the issuer.
All testimony is given at the time of a final hearing. Parties have the right to make opening statements and summarize what they intend to prove. Parties have the right to call witnesses, and may compel the attendance of nonparty witnesses by Subpoena, by Orders of the Panel, or with the assistance of a state or federal court. The parties and their witnesses present testimony under oath, and are subject to cross-examination. Documents are offered into evidence. Expert witnesses may be called upon to testify and may be cross-examined. Closing arguments are made. Typically, within 30 days, the Panel renders a written Award.
Arbitration Awards are final, binding and usually may not be appealed. A court will disturb them only in very limited circumstances involving fraud, corruption, or a manifest disregard for the law by the arbitration panel. Awards against brokers or brokerage firms must be paid within 30 days or the FINRA may suspend or revoke their licenses and registrations.
Investors entering into arbitration are not required to have attorney representation. Investors may represent themselves. However, you should be aware that brokers, advisers and investment firms will, in all likelihood, have legal representation. You may find yourself at a disadvantage by representing yourself in arbitration.

SOI signal-processing IC fits GSM, DCS standards
Post a comment
SAN JOSE, CALIF. Hitachi Semiconductor (America) Inc. has introduced the HD155131TF for transmit/receive signal processing in digital cellular systems, personal communications networks and other mobile communications systems.
The single-chip device is manufactured in a 0.35-micron BiCMOS process and is the first part from Hitachi to use silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. It features an operating voltage range of 2.7 to 3.3 V, a 98-dB dynamic range and current dissipation of 45 mA in transmit, 60 mA in receive and 1 mA or less in power-save mode. It supports GSM-PCS (global system for mobile communications/personal cellular system), GSM-900 and DCS-1800/1900 (digital cellular system) standards.
On the transmit side, the device is said to reduce out-of-band noise with an offset phase-locked-loop (PLL) system. It's done away with the surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter and duplexer (wave divider) normally required in the antenna block.
On the receive side, the device IC includes a dual-phase PLL synthesizer and a low-noise amplifier for a dual 900-MHz and 1,800-MHz band use. The voltage-controlled oscillator tuning band is minimized with a double super-heterodyne method that permits selection of flexible frequency plans. The device is packaged in a TQFP-56 and priced at $6 in quantities of 10,000.

Far be it for me to critize someone else's spelling or grammar. Over the years I've let slip my fair share of typos. Of course, none of them were in permanent foot-high lettering, so let the the criticism commence!
Sign of the times: Your bad grammer is the reason you suck
Starvoice • 11.11.11
RuPaul Charles turns 51 on Thursday. The pioneering drag queen continues to step up the art of drag with the upcoming fourth season of RuPaul's Drag Race on Logo in January along with the companion show Untucked. But in 2010, he returned to his roots by releasing his fifth album, Glamazon and debuted the single "Superstar" on the finale of the third season of Drag Race.
Mars is in Virgo trine to Jupiter in Taurus directing our energies to critical, constructive matters. Get to work. Flirtations and chatter are just distractions, but a little is good for morale.
SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21
Efforts to befriend colleagues backfire. Constructive criticism should be offered carefully. Friends' insights help your partnership and challenge your friendship. But you love a challenge.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 20
Your eagerness to get ahead is overdone. Crediting your colleagues will help you keep proportion. You don't need to oversell yourself. Humility is your key to greatness.
CAPRICORN Dec 21-Jan 19
Your own creative visions and hopes are too extravagant. Share them anyway. Invite your friends to critique your goals. They will help you develop keener focus. Face domestic discord to heal it.
AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18
Think before responding to a challenge. You're feistier than usual. On the other hand, taking criticism to heart could provide a lot of material for self-improvement.
PISCES Feb 19-Mar 19
Too much explaining undermines your efforts. Answer questions succinctly. Hunches may offer insight, but don't necessarily trust them. Stick to the facts.
ARIES Mar 20-Apr 19
If you ask for a raise you'll get what you're worth. Are you willing to risk it? Quiet time alone can help you get insight into early traumas. Helping those less fortunate can help you to heal them.
TAURUS Apr 20-May 20
Sex can be healing, but one can overdose. Feelings of satiation can open new insights. Even in hard times life can be good and you have the resourceful creative instincts to make the most of it.
GEMINI May 21-Jun 20
Advice from Mom is useful, but more a springboard to clearer ideas. Others may trigger your anxieties, those worries are your own from childhood shames. Choose your company carefully.
CANCER Jun 21-Jul 22
Showing off leads to criticism. The trick is to consider the source, see what you learn from it and don't let it bother you. Stay strong and focused to take charge and deal with family problems.
LEO Jul 23-Aug 22
Try not to start arguments at home. An older sibling or neighbor has good advice even if you don't like it. Hard work and efficiency at work will be rewarded with greater challenges.
VIRGO Aug 23-Sep 22
Your energy is picking up and liable to go in different directions. Housework is a pleasant diversion. Focus on learning practical issues. What do you need to learn to be truly successful?

World Net Daily trying to exploit criticism of book linking gays to the Nazi party
crossposted on Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters
Last week, it was discovered that the right-wing site World Net Daily is selling a discredited book which accuses the gay community of being behind the Nazi Party in Germany during World War II.
This week not only is World Net Daily continuing to sell the book, The Pink Swastika, but it is also trying to capitalize on the recent controversy by claiming that the gay community is trying to silence the book's "findings." The site calls The Pink Swastika:
a book that is disturbing, compelling and persuasive on its major point – that homosexuals dominated the German Nazi Party from its birth through its catastrophic demise.
It's a book that is vilified by America's "gay" activist establishment.
The Pink Swastika hasn't just been vilified by the the so-called "homosexual establishment." It's been vilified by everyone with a working brain and seen for what it is – the latest attempt by a homophobe (i.e. Scott Lively) who has carried his vendetta against the lgbt community to the corners of the globe.
The biggest criticism of The Pink Swastika is that Lively and co-writer Ken Abrams committed several distortions in formulating their theories. According to the site Box Turtle Bulletin:
Dr. Warren Throckmorton, an associate professor at the Christian-based Grove City College, has continued to add to his online series debunking The Pink Swastika. His latest installment is probably the most devastating, where Throckmorton catches Lively lying about his source information virtually red-handed. Throckmorton was joined in this endeavor by associate professor of history, Dr. Jon David Wyneken, whose Ph.D. is in modern German history with a focus on the period between 1933 and 1955. Together, they have undertaken a methodical exposé of Lively's shoddy scholarship.
Throckmorton has written extensively regarding the errors behind The Pink Swastika, all in devastating detail.
Of course World Net Daily editor Joseph Farah would probably disagree with Throckmorton. He claims to have read the book and found it to be accurate:
They say this book has been discredited," Farah says. "But I've read the book and I've read all the criticism. The book more than stands up to all the attacks I've seen, most of which are completely baseless."
However, based on Farrah's past and present history of exploiting conspiracy theories, one could easily guess that his vouching for The Pink Swastika has less to do with its supposed veracity and more to do with how much money it could potentially put in his pocket.
According to an article in the Huffington Post, in 1996, Farah helped to promote a video pushing conspiracy theories about the death of Clinton White House counsel Vincent Foster at a pop.
The same article also says that Farrah is behind a cottage industry of exploiting birther conspiracies regarding President Obama (i.e. the notion that Obama is not a United States citizen) including the sale of bumper stickers, yard signs, postcards, and videos.
To put it in cynical terms, Farrah can be described as a sort of degenerate P.T. Barnum, seeking to reap the benefits of fear, xenophobia, and homophobia.
No doubt he will probably make his money and there is really nothing anyone can do about that. But the question should be asked just how many Congressional leaders will show up should Farrah and World Net Daily put on another "Taking Back America" conference.
We should all pay attention to that. It would definitely give new meaning to the term "lying down with dogs."

Dr. Laura to drop her radio show over criticism of her use of the n-word
In an interview this evening on CNN's Larry King Live, Dr. Laura Schlessinger announced that when her radio contract expires at the end of the year, she will not seek to renew it. Schlessinger said that she was ending her show in order to "regain my First Amendment rights." According to Schlessinger, in the wake of her racial screed last week, highlighted by Media Matters, "my First Amendment rights have been usurped by angry, hateful groups."
On August 10, Schlessinger launched into a racially charged rant, during which Schlessinger — in herown words — "articulated the 'n' word all the way out — more than one time." Schlessinger also told an African-American caller that she had a "chip on [her] shoulder," and suggested that "If you're that hypersensitive about color and don't have a sense of humor, don't marry out of your race." The next day, Schlessinger apologized.
On August 12, Media Matters posted full audio and transcript of Schlessinger's rant, which had apparently been expunged from her website. We also documented her history of incendiary remarks. Schlessinger became the subject of a firestorm of media coverage. She responded by slammingthe media that "rebroadcast" her rant.
