Fisher & Paykel opens new Auckland Design Centre
5 August 2014
Fisher & Paykel entrenches product development in NZ with new Auckland Design Centre
A cornerstone in Fisher & Paykel Appliances' ongoing expansion plan is in place with the official opening of its new Design Centre for Product Development at the company's Auckland headquarters.
A 'hothouse' for innovation in product development, the state-of-the-art Centre is dedicated entirely to fostering the company's research and development capabilities. It will cater to a fast-growing team of NZ-based product developers, designers and engineers and includes a full suite of quality and standards testing labs.
"This new Centre underlines Fisher & Paykel's long-term commitment to research and development in New Zealand, and solidifies our position as one of five Centres of Excellence for global product innovation for the Haier Group," said Chairman Dr Keith Turner on opening the facility today.
At 5000m2 the building is one of the largest single office footprints in the country and has capacity to house upwards of 400 employees. Development of a second design facility in Dunedin is also well underway and expected to be fully up and running in November.
Coinciding with the pioneering company's 80th year, the milestone opening follows an extremely successful period of expansion for Fisher & Paykel and demonstrates a new and exciting phase for the company.
"The phenomenal growth we have achieved in recent years has been made possible by our parent company Haier's continued support of the Fisher & Paykel brand and our vision to be the world's leading premium appliance company. The relationship continues to go from strength to strength, benefiting the Fisher & Paykel brand in both New Zealand and globally.
"We are actively entrenching New Zealand as Fisher & Paykel's research and development hub, and strengthening our foundation for leadership in the market.
"Just 18 months on from first announcing expansion plans, we have already recruited more than 80 new roles into Auckland and Dunedin. As of today we have more than 40 vacancies to fill and will continue to grow these essential teams across both centres.
"With this increased investment, consumers will continue to see more new, thoughtfully-crafted appliances in the years ahead, building on the extremely successful roll-out of 70 new products last year."
The recently released products are proving popular across key markets, with many exceeding expectations and attracting praise from the international design community. Highlights include the new wall oven and Touch & Side Induction Cooktop winning the prestigious global design award known as 'Red Dot' in 2013 and 2014 respectively.
Dr Turner said the company continued to focus on developing the Fisher & Paykel brand in New Zealand, Australia and North America, while boosting its presence in the emerging markets of China and India.
The new Auckland Design Centre - A
'hothouse' for innovation
Natural light, shared spaces, flexible project 'pods' and arguably the best office kitchen in the country - every detail of the new architecturally-designed Centre was carefully considered to create the best possible environment for design and innovation.
"As demand for our product design capability continues to increase both within Fisher & Paykel and the wider Haier Group, it became clear that we needed to create facilities that would accommodate a growing team now and into the future," said Dr Turner. "We also needed spaces that inspire and complement our teams, and position Fisher & Paykel to retain and attract the best-of-the-best talent."
Fisher & Paykel's own senior strategic and design team used their professional expertise to craft a design framework and joined with Custance Architects to translate their ideas into a workable space.
Mirroring the company's unique, human-centred approach to product development, the layout is focused on strengthening engagement and communication within and across teams. It is open, agile and flexible, helping to break down functional siloes and bring more productive project teams together.
At the Centre's heart is the Social Kitchen – more than a place where food is prepared, it is a social hub and provides a touchpoint for the designers, engineers and evaluators that use the products daily.
"Fisher & Paykel recognises the kitchen as a site of sociability, collaboration and creativity. It signifies our shift from focusing solely on products, to focusing on the people who use them. This focus sets us apart from our competitors."
The removal of traditional phones, the injection of natural light through specially-crafted skylights and a neutral pallet accentuated by pops of colour ensure the busy former electronics factory is also a calm and productive place to work. Informal break out areas offer a place for blue-sky thinking.
'Project pods' distributed throughout provide dedicated spaces for project teams that are flexible and reconfigurable, with furniture, displays and technology that can transform from a work room to a conference room in minutes. Just across the way, laboratories and model shops can be seen, where designs are brought to life.
"We are confident that co-locating our design, engineers and evaluators together in one shared space will reap huge benefits, fostering a product development cultural that will enable us to continue to develop world-leading appliances."

Mt. Pleasant Area offers students healthy lunch choices
Mt. Pleasant Area School District is in its second year of introducing students to healthier menu items, as well as "Wellness Wednesdays" at the elementary level.
District food services director Joe Beaman rotates each week to the district's elementary schools with a healthy food item for students to sample.
Some of the samples have included brown rice with vegetables, spinach pasta salad, lima beans and mushroom salad, chick pea and tomato salad and sweet and sour, two-bean salad.
Beaman said the program has been very successful.
Students that try the featured item receive a sticker which proclaims "I tried something new."
Students are trying new and unique food items and liking them.
He said it has also been an opportunity for students to try something new, and realize they may not have liked it, but still having the pride of the experience.
Beaman added elementary school aged students seem more eager to try different foods.
His goal is to sharpen the focus on the importance of the food groups and how they are incorporated to overall wellness.
When he finds wellness Wednesday samples that students really enjoy, he adds them to the menu.
"I think 'Wellness Wednesday' is an awesome idea. It encourages kids to choose their foods wisely," said Paige Gonzalez, a sixth-grade student at Donegal Elementary School.
Ramsay Elementary School sixth-grader Cammi Neiderhiser also likes Wellness Wednesday sample and thinks it is a great idea because it is an interesting way to try new and healthy foods.
Shawn Thompson of Norvelt said his children, Chase, 9, and Sybil, 6, began taking packed lunches after the menu changes midway through last school year. However, he said they try the Wellness Wednesday samples, but generally are not fond of them.
Beaman said a different program, titled "Taking Nutrition Global" is offered at the district's junior high and senior high school level.
That program features food from a different country each month.
Then students have an opportunity to sample a chosen recipe from the that region.
Students can also receive interesting facts about that country upon request.
"Our team is already working on changes for next year. We would like to have more nutritional and educational information available," Beaman said.

GM Mark Paragua won solo first in the recently concluded five round 2015 Georgia State Championship in Atlanta. GA. Visiting from New York, Paragua faced strong players from Georgia led by GM Alonzo Zapata, who wound up at third place with a loss to Paragua in the third round. Paragua beat GM Alonzo in 27 moves of a Trompovsky. The Filipino grandmaster scored a total of 4.5 points.
Paragua also played with Ruifeng Li from Texas, rated 2530. "My best game in the tournament was my fourth round game with Ruifen," said Paragua. Playing black with a Sicilian Najdorf, Paragua made a speculative sacrifice and offered a rook to displace the queen, then sac a knight to open the king on the queen side followed by pawn sacrifice to open the diagonal for his queen. Paragua won the game in 30 moves when Li resigned as he was about to lose his queen.
Li tied for second with 4.0 points with Daniel Gurevich, who being the top Georgia resident, was declared the Georgia State Champion.
"GM is playing like the good old days," said Herky del Mundo who invited Mark to play in the tournament, "Paragua crushed GM Zapata's play in 27 moves with a Trompovsky." With the championship, Paragua's USCF rating rose to 2649. Del Mundo noted that Paragua's quality of play nowadays rivals his younger times when his FIDE rating was 2616. During the annual Georgia Chess Association meeting held in the same venue as the tournament, Del Mundo was elected as Secretary of the Georgia chess federation.-Marlon Bernardino and Jolina Icao-

SARASOTA COUNTY - A boil water advisory has been issued in Osprey after a drop in pressure was reported Tuesday morning.
Sarasota County utilities has restored the water pressure in the affected area, which is from Central Sarasota Parkway south to Laurel Road. This includes the areas of Vamo, Osprey, and Laurel.
The county says they have no reason to believe the drinking water was contaminated, but Florida law requires that drinking water providers issue precautionary boil water advisories to customers affected by pressure losses in water mains.
While the advisory is in effect, the county advises affected customers to boil all tap water intended for drinking, preparation of food, washing of food utensils, making ice, brushing teeth or for first aid, making sure the water is brought to a rolling boil for one minute. Boiling the tap water disinfects it, destroying any harmful microorganisms. Bottled water can be used as an alternative to boiling the tap water.
Customers will be notified by another automated telephone call that the boil water advisory has been canceled.

Peach-Blueberry Pie
Our reader Ginny Kelly from Point Lookout, New York, got this recipe from her mother, who offered this advice: "Just tidy up the kitchen and keep an eye on the oven. When you're finished, the pie will be done."
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 8
Photography: Raymond Hom
Source: Everyday Food, June 2011
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 5 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 3 pounds peaches, peeled and sliced (6 cups)
- 12 ounces blueberries (2 cups)
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- All-purpose flour, for rolling
- 1 homemade or store-bought double-crust pie dough
- 1 large egg, separated, white lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, tapioca, and salt. Add peaches, blueberries, and lemon juice and toss to combine; let sit 15 minutes. Lightly flour a rolling pin and work surface and roll out half the dough to a 12-inch round. Place in a 9-inch glass pie plate and brush with egg white. Pour in fruit filling and dot with butter.
Roll out remaining dough to a 12-inch round and place over fruit filling. Trim excess and crimp edges to seal. In a small bowl, lightly beat egg yolk with 1 tablespoon cold water. Brush top of dough with egg yolk mixture. With a paring knife, cut several small slits on top to vent. Set on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until crust is deep golden brown and juices are bubbling, about 50 minutes. (Tent loosely with foil if crust browns too quickly.) Let pie cool completely on a wire rack, about 3 hours.

text: Investors in SodaStream International Ltd ( SODA) saw new options begin trading today, for the September 5th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the SODA options chain for the new September 5th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.The put contract at the $29.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.75. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $29.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $27.25 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of SODA, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $29.54/share today. Because the $29.00 strike represents an approximate 2% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 58%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 6.03% return on the cash commitment, or 51.22% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.

April 11th, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) A 33-year-old woman from Perez Zeledon, identified by the last name Granados, died at 10pm Tuesday night at the San Juan de Dios Hospital, apparently the victim of substances which were injected in her buttocks at a cosmetic clinic in downtown San Jose.
The press office of the hospital confirmed that the young woman died of infections.
Granados underwent surgery in the private clinic, where a doctor was supposed to take belly fat and inject it into her buttocks, but it seems as though another substance was also added.
Andrea de la Cruz, a spokeswoman for the hospital, said the woman was receiving daily procedures to cure her infections, but her condition deteriorated over the weekend.
Doctors even considered amputating one of the woman's legs at the hip, due to the amount of bacteria that had accumulated in the area.
The hospital alerted police following the woman's death, calling her death "suspicious."
This latest incident comes after a former model accused a doctor in Santa Ana of deforming her buttocks by injecting it with industrial silicone in January.
It turned out that the clinic in that case did not even have a license to conduct surgeries, nor was the doctor a plastic surgeon.

Edit: After half day, my wife's Mac started having the same problem. I have then applied the solution that I found in the Apple
Apple iOS Is Safer Than Android, According To McAfee
There persists severe competition in nearly every aspect of the market which is also very true for the market of applications which provides a fight against the malware. In this industry, Apple has rightly outshined the Android devices providing a safer environment but, it should also be noted that not a single mobile device can be considered as risk free as it was indicated in the report issued by McAfee.
By far, Apple's services to secure its mobile devices and products can be praised, as per the report, taking a note that there have been no known major cases of viruses and malware to attack an iPhone for at least those who are not been termed as jailboken. Another reason as to why the technology of iOS is safer than others is that Apple restricts the way as to how the apps are downloaded by the users.
The owners of the iOS device of Apple has been offered the ability to download only via the Mac App Store or through the Mobile Device Management which in return provides control onto the IT department over to the Apple oriented devices within their organizations. Moreover, the application of Mobile Device Managements too, requires to be approved from Apple Inc.
Presently, Apple is running a single App Store and that has various tight controls over it which makes the Apple products usage environment more secure and safer.
In comparison, the method of offering applications to its users for the purpose of enhancing the devices performance, is quite open to a greater degree and with this level of openness, several risks are associated. Although, Google is controlling its Android Market, they are also provided with the facility of downloading apps from third party websites in a very easy way which might not include the required security aspect in question.
Another factor related is that the market of Android devices is very much vulnerable to threats. Giving a simple example, Google planned to get rid of several malicious applications this March after a nasty malware; DroidDream attacked and infected a whole lot of users. Making a calculation, the company removed 58 malicious apps from both the market as well as from the mobile devices from where the users tend to download it.
Going further and considering that Android is a quite a fragmented system, many of the handsets makers tweaks Google's open source code and also practices to modify some features that are particularly related to the security aspect. Such an approach increases the time factor for updating the operating system to approach the users of the Android devices as many of these updates requires to be customized for various other devices.
It should also not be neglected, that almost all of the malware gains entry into the devices through the Apps Store, this point has bought the Android devices in a greater risk oriented environment. Although, the Symbian of the Nokia Company is considered as the most popular cell phone platform for authors of malware, this role was adopted by Android in the second quarter of the ongoing year which amounts to attract almost 63 percent of all the malware infections at that time.
From all the discussions, MacAfee finally saw a change of approach in the process of combating against malware by both Apple and Google. The report stated that the approach of Apple is rather proactive and mainly focuses on prevention whereas, the Google's approach is to is to create applications and then deal with the issues that occurs within them in a quite reactive manner. Although, this move from Google can be considered as sensible to generate a large volume and range of applications, but looking from the security perspective, the environment created seems very close to what is the comfort zone of malware writers.
Both the devices of iOS and Android are based on the foundation of Linux/Unix which gives them a considerable safe environment inherently. The vulnerability to threats and security are generally due to the developers and manufacturers who does not consider the security of the device their priority and immediately release their app in the market even before they are not completely tested and this is where Apple has paced because protecting the users will protect the company's mobile platform as well as its mobile devices.

Life with the Lady Flames: Alex's Angle
I love Christmas! I love going back home to Pennsylvania, where I'm from, and seeing snow on the ground and houses decorated with Christmas lights. But every year, Christmas seems to come and go so fast. Everyone from the team is back from their hometowns after Christmas break, and it sounds like everyone enjoyed themselves and enjoyed spending time with their families and close friends.
My Christmas, on the other hand, was quite different this year. December 17 started the recovery process from my ACL tear. I had surgery on the morning of the 17th and, after my experience, I pray that I never have to have another surgery again! I was slightly nervous for the surgery beforehand, but actually underestimated the effects of it. Little did I know I was going to be sick from the anesthesia for about three days after the surgery! It was not a fun experience, but each day gets better and each day my knee feels stronger. So, I thank God for that and for giving me the strength to get through the surgery.
I came back to Lynchburg a few days later than the other girls, due to my surgery. The team had already left for the Virginia Tech tournament the day I returned. We played North Carolina A&T on Monday and won, 72 to 58. Despite some adversity in the beginning of the season, the girls are really starting to play well together. The second half against North Carolina A&T was when I really saw the team starting to click.
After winning on Monday, we matched up against the hosts of the tournament, the Virginia Tech Hokies, on Tuesday. Intensity and effort, along with our execution of the offenses, earned the Liberty Lady Flames our first victory ever over Virginia Tech in women's basketball! The game was such a fun game to watch, and the girls played their hearts out. Beating Virginia Tech has been one of our goals since the day we got to Liberty. It is a close game every time we play them, and to be victorious this year is a great accomplishment for us. We can only keep building from the win!
God has been working through our team in so many ways, and it is awesome to see Him through our victories, and even our losses. God has a plan for our team, and each individual on our team, and I think that is so neat to think about! Our next game is this Saturday, against Gardner Webb in the Vines Center. We hope to see you there!

My dad took this photo today, and he's been telling all his friends I'm putting it on my site — he's very proud of me, and I'm so thankful for that. I'm also thankful that he shares his cottage with us, not only because it's a gift to be away from the city and surrounded by so much nature, but also because we get to spend more time with him and my mom.
It's a double rainbow and full of significance as I sit here, on Josh-O's computer, gazing out at the colourful landscape — a landscape painters dream of — here on Thanksgiving weekend at my parents' cottage.
As always, I have to preface this post with excuses as to why I haven't been here in several months. Instead of boring you with the usual stuff — aka busy, busy, busy and busy… also busy, like, very — I'll give my excuses in pictures. CHECKIT:
Since I don't write about the kids as much as I'd like to — they won't ALLOW me to, and I respect their wishes even if they're doing it just to be MEAN to their mama — I sometimes feel self-indulgent writing about and posting pictures of ME. But this is an inevitable offshoot of the blogging genre I love (and to which I'm forever indebted), so I might as well accept it.
I am, however, thankful for my renewed obsession with Ashtanga yoga, so I'm thinking I'll write a few posts on this amazing practice — i.e., why I spend so much of my life practising it and trying to embody its principles.
Lots of people ask me about how I lost FIFTY POUNDS, too, so I can write about that in another post, soon. Although…, a lot of that has to do with my daily yoga practice. Not only is it toning up my bod, but my mind feels so much more stable, centred and focused — and I can't stress enough how key that all is for weight loss. Every morning, when I hit the mat, I embark on a physical, emotional and psychological quest. That's a gift for a busy, xx-year-old mom. And I'm very thankful for that space I can give myself every day and for all the amazing people I'm on the Ashtanga journey with.
More self-indulgence for the road:
What I'm reading (when time permits, and now that I've deleted Candy Crush from my iPhone):
- The Signature of all Things, by Elizabeth Gilbert
- If You Have to Cry, Go Outside: And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You, by Kelly Cutrone
- The Power of Ashtanga Yoga, by Kino MacGregor
What I'm eating:
– Lemon water with sprinkle of cayenne pepper and turmeric in the morning (curbs the cravings and starts off the day healthy, alkaline and with a spicy kick in the butt)
– Green tea
– Apple with almond butter (my favourite 4 p.m. snack)
– Friday is CHAI DAY! (Also Saturday…)
– Clean, whole foods — as Michael Pollan says, "Eat food, not too much, mostly plants."
What I'm wearing:
– EXTRA SMALL, baby!
I'll blog again here SOON (sooner than last time, at least), promise. In the meantime, I'm thankful for all the things above — and so much more — that have been keeping me away from this space. Also, I'm totally thankful for you, and for the blogging community I've seen rally around friends of mine who've been in need of mass love lately (#rainbow), for this life, freedom, health and all our gifts. More of that all around the world, please, for the good of all…
What are you thankful for?

The social bookmarking service Ma.gnolia reports that all of its user data was irretrievably lost in the Jan. 30 database crash that knocked the service offline. That means that users who were unable to recover their bookmarks through publicly available tools (including other social media sites and the Google cache) have lost all their data.
Ma.gnolia founder Larry Halff said last week that the service's MySQL database included nearly half a terabyte of data. Yesterday Halff informed users that a specialist had been unable to recover any data from the corrupted hard drive. "Unfortunately, database file recovery has been unsuccessful and I won't be able to recover members' bookmarks from the Ma.gnolia database," he wrote.
Halff recently recorded a podcast with Chris Messina in which he discussed the database crash and the lessons to be found for other startups in Ma.gnolia's experience. The primary lesson: don't try to do everything yourself. "I made a huge mistake in how I set up my (backup) system," Halff said.
It turns out that Ma.gnolia was pretty much a one-man operation, running on two Mac OS X servers and four Mac minis. A clear lesson for users is not to assume that online services have lots of staff, lots of servers and professional backups, and to keep your own copies of your data, especially on free services.
Halff has won some admirersf or his handling of the aftermath of the database crash, but there are also many users who have been critical of Ma.gnolia's operations. "It has not been an easy two weeks, but … the community reaction has really affirmed my faith in humanity," Halff wrote in a comment on a summary by Todd Sieling.

The broader story: it's NOT about "me" or my ego or seeing my name in print... I'm a fleeting ephemeral whirlwind of energy patterns and I will soon be gone...
It IS about many minds sharing information and points of view to "hopefully" arrive at a more coherent understanding of complex, dynamic, chaotic events. SO, If maybe I can add one small twig to the fire and that helps light the way for someone else, then it was worth it. I guess.
Now we get to witness the despair of late capitalism.
The grinding devolution of the democratic dream...
The end of an age. The long twilight of "western civilization." Capitalism murdered democracy.
"It's a still life water color
Of a now late afternoon
As the sun shines through the curtain lace
And shadows wash the room
And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference
Like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar
In the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
The borders of our lives..."

New CyberGhost client presents new rules for account openings & 1 free month CG Premium VPN!
From now on CyberGhost uses a changed procedure when opening a new account – and along with it comes a new client and a new password recovery modus.
The most important facts about the new client:
- Overhauled setup
- New welcome assistant, providing a new account opening procedure directly on your PC
- No email address necessary for account opening
- No restart necessary after installation on many systems
- Slight changes regarding the log-in-screen
- Some design changes regarding the main window
- Direct serial number activation using the client
- Alternative ports for communication, selectable at the list of networks when logging in (background is, that certain providers block the generally used port)
- Bugfix: fixed the wrong display of the VPN IP after connecting (in case the exit IP doesn't coincide with the communication IP of the VPN server)
- Many more little changes and fixes
New account opening makes 'exposure' of a valid email address unnecessary
The most important change coming with the new CyberGhost client pertains the new way of enrollment and account opening. From now on the creation of a new account takes place straight in your client on your PC and just needs an arbitrary user name and a password. No need for neither visiting the CyberGhost homepage nor providing us with an email address anymore!
Less information when enrolling mean more anonymity for you – or at least more felt anonymity, since we never compromised any user's identity in all the years of our existence (each email address had been anonymized and encrypted and stored strictly separated from the respective account). However, the reason we asked for your email address had been the simple fact, that we needed it for password recovery – which now will be done by the new so called PUK (Personal Unblock Key). This PUK will be generated automatically when opening an account and has to be stored very carefully by you, either as a print or as a file somewhere safe. Please note, that you are solely responsible for this data and that we can't help you to restore a lost password in the future. Any account you can't recover, will be lost – and with it your subscription. This procedure will be mandatory for new users, old accounts will be adjusted step by step – if you want to, as soon as you started the new client for the first time.
Future newsletter solution
New users, who want to receive information about the CyberGhost net (e.g. new server locations) or special offers (e. g. special low rates), can subscribe to our newsletter via the CyberGhost homepage for free. One also can provide us freely with a valid email address when opening a new account – and get one free month CyberGhost Premium VPN with access to all servers in return, 1 GB traffic volume included. This email address will be stored as before separately from one's CyberGhost account and is in no way a threat to one's real identity. Also we will never give away the address to any other company, organization, government or whatever.
What else?
We are sure, you'd like the new client and the service changes. We are aware, that the new procedure to restore an account is a lack of user friendliness, but then again, it's a plus in anonymity. And that's, what we all are here for, aren't we? Anyway, if it turns out, you'd like to return to the old ways, we will do so.

Iron Men of Rock
This weekend, as everyone on the planet heads to theaters for 'Iron Man 3,' the 15 men on this list won't be among the popcorn-gobbling masses. Why? Because they're the Iron Men of Rock — singing, strumming lifers who haven't got time to watch Robert Downey Jr. fly around and blow stuff up. They've got shows to play and songs to write, and we, alongside our partners at Loudwire and Ultimate Classic Rock, salute them all for forging fruitful careers that have spanned decades. As you click through our Iron Men of Rock gallery, keep in mind that all of these musicians have soldiered on without the use of metal suits or fancy gadgets — just simple instruments and true grit.

'Full House' parody explores the rude realities of gentrification
Ever since Netflix announced its hideous reboot of "Full House," people have been pointing out that a middle-class family such as the Tanners could never afford to live in the San Francisco of today. Now someone has made a parody of the opening credits that targets gentrification in that once-vital metropolis.
As the happy theme song plays, depressing statistics flash across the screen about housing costs in the 1990s versus those of today. For instance: Did you know that, in the 1990s, the median rent on a two-bedroom in SF was $975, and now it's a whopping $4,700? "How rude!"
The clip also touches on the plight of artists, African-Americans, and the middle class, all of whom make excellent sad faces as the sad reality sets in: This city is no longer for them. I hope one of the Tanners founds a successful tech company, because that's the only way they're going to be able to keep a roof over their many adorable heads.

|FYI — August 2004
|By Brad Dunn
Bottoms Up
In May a 45-foot, double-deck powerboat flipped over and threw about 60 passengers into the waters of Lake Travis near Austin, Texas. Two women were taken to a hospital for minor injuries; no one was seriously hurt.
"We were extremely fortunate," says Krista Umscheid, spokeswoman for the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA). "I've never seen anything like this."
Witnesses said the party barge flipped over while moored off Hippie Beach—the Lone Star State's only public nude beach—after passengers mobbed one side of the deck to see the naked sunbathers. But the investigating officer assigned to the accident doesn't believe it.
"I just don't think these people got so excited over a little bit of nudity to cause the whole thing to capsize," says Travis County deputy sheriff Brett Spicer, who adds that his investigation is still ongoing. "We've received many conflicting stories about why the boat actually capsized."
The party barge was rented by the Austin Tavern Guild, a gay and lesbian organization, as part of its biannual "Splash Day" celebration. Police say that when the boat began to list, the captain ran above decks in an attempt to get people to move to the other side. But his efforts to redistribute the weight came too late. Instead, the captain ended up helping LCRA rangers and the Travis County Sheriff's Department get the drenched passengers ashore.
Spicer says Lake Travis is the most dangerous lake in Texas in terms of boating-related accidents and fatalities. "It's a very popular, crowded spot. We get more than 1,000,000 visitors a year," he explains. "There are a lot of accidents in the summer, but this is the first time a whole party barge capsized."

About CPS
Christians in Political Science aims to encourage students of politics to integrate their Christian faith into their research and writing; stimulate and assist members to bring insights and perspectives from their faith to classroom teaching; and provide a forum for fellowship and discussion. We recognize that Christians of good faith may disagree about how Christianity should inform our professional, political, and other activities. Indeed, a major goal of CPS is to encourage discussion of these matters among believers from different traditions and with divergent views.

- About
Admissions & Info:
The CRS thematic concentrations are:
Africa: Covering North Africa as well as states south of the Sahara, the study of Africa has four broad themes: state, society, economy, and international affairs. African states have grappled with the need for effective institutions, responsive political processes, and accountable leadership. The problems of autocracy and difficulties of democratic development are acute. The course offerings on the nature of African societies pose important questions such as the context of governance, the roles of civil society, and ethnic and communal diversity.
The Americas: The Americas includes the 35 independent states and other overseas territories of North American, South America and the Caribbean. The course offerings on the historical and growing interconnectedness of the countries of the Americas explore the evolution of United States-Latin American relations and domestic politics in the region. More topical courses address issues such as the historical genesis of race relations and their impact today, the evolution of the Cold War and its impact on the region, the transnationalization of the War on Drugs, and the impact of neoliberal economic policies.
Asia-Pacific: The Asia-Pacific region covers approximately 25 countries and all major sub-regions including East Asia, South Asia (including Afghanistan) and Southeast Asia as well as Australia and New Zealand. By examining Asia as a broad geographic region centered around the Pacific and Indian Oceans, students are able to engage with an array of issues ranging from democratization, migration and trafficking, and human rights to regional governance, international security, and great power relations. The course offerings focus on the foreign policy of major actors within Asia-Pacific, including China, Japan, Korea, and the United States, as well as governance and security issues within Asia.
Europe & Eurasia: The Europe and Eurasia regional focus extends the traditional focus on Western Europe and the EU eastward by including the blend of European and Asian cultures that has shaped the development of Russia and Central Eurasia. This dynamic world region includes Turkey, Russia and other post-Soviet countries that form the eastern borderlands of Europe. The course offerings in this region focus on the persistence of historical tensions between authoritarian and democratic political cultures, the diversity of ethnic and other identities in the region, and the interconnectedness of Europe and Eurasia in policy areas such as energy security and immigration.
Islamic Studies: The Islamic Studies focus seeks to promote understanding of Islam and the Muslim community in the United States and throughout the world. Course offerings include democratization in the Muslim world, women and Islam, Islam in the media, Islamic politics in the Middle East, and Islam and terrorism, among others. Our Islamic scholars have conducted groundbreaking field projects accompanied by American University students. The fostering of an understanding of Islam is accomplished through courses, events, invited speakers, and other education efforts through a public dialogue that involves scholars, public officials, students, and religious leaders in all denominations.
The Middle East: The Middle East focus covers a range of countries extending from Morocco to Iran and includes the sub-regions of North Africa, the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula. The courses highlight the complex relationships between religion, society and the state in the region. They address the interaction between society and the state through processes of democratization and peace-building, the plethora of cultural, religious, and ethnic identities, and intra-regional conflicts and the involvement of the superpowers therein.
CRS requires that students demonstrate an intermediate reading proficiency in a modern foreign language related to the student's regional focus. While by no means exhaustive, you can find a list of the most common languages that meet this requirement for each region below. For more information about how to certify your proficiency, click here.
Melanie Brisse serves as the dedicated CRS Graduate Academic Advisor. Students with questions relating to degree requirements, course registration, concerns regarding graduation, or other academic spheres should contact Melanie by email at email@example.com, by phone at 202-885-1659, or schedule an appointment.

Listen to Robin Fields Discuss Dialysis on Fresh Air & the Podcast
Today at 3 p.m., Robin Fields will be interviewed on Fresh Air with Terry Gross about her just published dialysis investigation. The two will discuss how the dialysis care system began, how effective it is, and how other countries handle it.
In addition to the Terry Gross interview, we taped a ProPublica Podcast with Robin to talk about the process of reporting on dialysis. In that we looked at how and why she began the investigation, how she got around the lack of transparency with government data and how she works with some of her sources.
We hope you'll listen to both programs.

My husband is on dialysis since March 2010 and he has had a few bad experiences and I am afraid every day that he has to go to dialysis especially after reading your report. Thank you for your excellent and thorough report.
I know it took a lot of courage and work to write this story. Words aren't enough. All I can say is THANK YOU!
I have been a nephrologist since 1967 and I continue to practice in Orange County, CA. My career covers the earliest dissemination of this technique and the evolution of health care as a profession, to helath care as an industry, and a profit point. These are concerns that focus my energies and my ethics. Robin Fields has done a superb job in describing the field of dialysis as it exists. I do not disagree with a single thought expressed. Bravo!
Only opt for an insurer that has increased cash firmness, good understood along with exceedingly relied on as a result of people. Yourrrre able to definitely realize one personal neighborhood
I have a friend who has been on hemodialysis for 40 years!
All of us who are her friends, and she has many, would like to know who and what is the longest duration/survivor on hemodialysis?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/12/2011 (2067 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
CANADIAN women's soccer coach John Herdman couldn't afford to think about experimenting or development.
So captain Christine Sinclair and goalkeeper Karina LeBlanc headline an experienced team of largely familiar names announced Tuesday for the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament.
Chelsea Buckland, a 21-year-old striker from Surrey, B.C., is the lone player on the roster making her international competition debut.
"It's such a big event, we have to qualify," Herdman said on a conference call Tuesday. "It's not one of those events where you can start testing and developing players, although the experience they'll have will certainly put them on a great footing for the Olympics.
"It's certainly an event we have to go and win, and with that we had to pick a squad that would deliver us that outcome."
The roster includes 14 members of the team that won gold at the Pan American Games in October. And five of the six who missed the Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, played in the FIFA women's World Cup.
Desiree Scott of Winnipeg was named to the team at the midfield position.
Canada needs to finish in the top two of the eight-team qualifying tournament, Jan. 19-29 in Vancouver, to earn a berth in the 2012 London Olympics.
Sinclair, Canada's captain from Burnaby, B.C., scored to move Canada into overtime versus Brazil at the Pan Am Games. LeBlanc, a goalkeeper from Maple Ridge, B.C., then stopped two penalty shots to secure the gold medal.
The one notable player missing from Herdman's roster is veteran defender Emily Zurrer, whom he opted to leave off the lineup in what he called "a tough call."
But the coach noted this team isn't exactly the one he'll take to the Olympics and Zurrer -- or a rising young player such as Amelia Pietrangelo -- could play her way on to that London-bound squad.

Curbside grocery orders are placed online. The process was easier than I expected. I already had an online account with Kroger, which I use for uploading digital coupons to my Plus card. I went to the Kroger.com as usual and selected ClickList to begin my order. I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of the online ordering process. The first screen I came to showed items I had recently purchased (as tracked by my Kroger Plus card). Each item included a photo with the description, which was helpful. The only thing to be careful of is size, since a 10 oz package looks the same a 30 oz package in a photo. I quickly scrolled through the list and clicked to add some often used grocery staples to my cart.
The next section showed my sale items. These are items that I've previously purchased that are currently on sale. I added extras of some of these items to my cart, if the deal was especially good, just as I would have if I had been walking through the store. I appreciated not missing out on these types of deals! If you're not careful, there are a few deals you might miss out on. For example, Kroger was running a 'mix and match 10 items' deal. If you buy 10 items with a special tag, you get each of those items at a reduced price. There are no special tags when ordering on ClickList. However, if you click the tab for Savings and then select Weekly Ad, you can learn about these sales and still take advantage of them. Also, it is important to note the prices you pay are the ones the item is being sold for on the day of pickup-- not the day of order. I would avoid ordering on a change over date if you're trying to take advantage of special sales.
For the rest of my grocery list, I used the search bar to find the item I needed. The search feature worked pretty well. For example, I typed in "baby spinach" and it brought up the leafy greens I was looking for in the various brands offered. However, it also showed me jars of spinach baby food. I didn't find that to be a problem, but one could avoid seeing the extra items, by narrowing down the search to "produce" by checking a box on the side. The first time I ordered on ClickList, I found all of the items I needed without any problems. The second time I ordered, I noticed a few items missing. One type of salad I like wasn't an available option, nor was the brand of frozen vegetable egg rolls I prefer. I also learned that, while "cosmetics" is a featured category, makeup items really aren't available through ClickList at this time. If I needed mascara, I'd have to go in the store or order it from Amazon. Overall, the product availability was quite extensive, so I don't find that to be a major deterrent.
For all items, the price (with Plus card) was clearly displayed. I appreciated the fact that I could see a running total as I added items to my cart. I could see that being very helpful for staying on budget. It was easy to scroll back through and remove products I changed my mind about. On the review screen at the end, I noticed the words "allow substitution" under each item with a check box beside it. The boxes were automatically checked, but I could uncheck them if desired. I decided to leave them all checked to see if any substitutions would be made. I had previously read that Kroger ClickList associates had been trained to make appropriate substitutions, so I was curious to see what would happen.
At the end of the online ordering process, I was able to select a pick up date and time. It's important to note that you cannot order and pick up groceries within the same day. Your pick up date will likely be the next day, but it could possibly be later. The first time, I ordered early on a Sunday and was able to pick up my groceries the next morning. The second time I ordered, I got a late start on Sunday evening. When I started my order, the available pick up time was 2 - 3 pm on Monday, but by the time I was finished and ready to select a time, it was up to 7 - 8 pm. Lesson learned. My advice is to get an early start on filling your cart. After a pick up time is selected, you can edit your cart up until midnight.
The online instructions say to go to the store at your pick up time and follow the signs to the ClickList area. I did not notice any signs outside of the Prospect Kroger when I arrived for pick up. After driving around the lot for a while, I realized that pick up was behind the store. There were several spaces clearly marked for ClickList. The sign in front of each space has a phone number on it to call when you arrive. Don't forget to bring your cell phone! Upon calling, the associate came out within 2 - 3 minutes.
When the ClickList associate came out, he was very friendly. I did not have to get out of the car for anything. The first thing he did was go over list of substitutions that were made on my order. There were multiple items that were required substitution, but I was pleased with all of their choices. The best part of substitutions is, you receive the lowest price. For example, the brand of bacon I ordered was on sale for $1.99 per package. It was unavailable, so they substituted a similar bacon that retailed for 3 times that price and I only paid $1.99. That was quite a nice surprise! Had I not been pleased with the substitutions, I could've rejected them. I noticed that the substituted items had been bagged in regular Kroger bags rather than the white, ClickList bags so that the associate could easily find them and remove them from my order if needed.
Paying for my groceries was easy. I used my credit card and signed the associate's tablet while still in my car. All of my online coupons were automatically applied. I did not try to use paper coupons, but I've heard that they can be used, though they slow down the check out process. While the associate was at my car, I inquired about the storage of ClickList orders after they were picked. He explained to me that they have large refrigeration and freezer rooms where they store the cold items until pick up. So for those who live far from the store, ClickList may be a better option than going inside the store, since your cold groceries remain refrigerated or frozen until they are taken out to you car.
Upon arrival at home, I found that all of my groceries were as expected with no missing items. When ordering the produce, you are able to make a note about what you like (for example, "green bananas") so that helped to insure that those items would be to my liking. The only trick is some of those items are by weight and some by quantity, which I didn't notice, so I only ended up with 2 bananas.
Overall, my impression of ClickList was extremely positive. I really liked the online process, and could see value in looking up items online to price check first even if I planned to go into the store to make my purchase. The fee for using ClickList in the Louisville area is $4.95 per order, however the fee is waived the first 3 times. I think it's a fair price, considering it saved me at least an hour of time and I saved money on substitutions I would've had to pay for if I substituted on my own. At first, I thought this service was only for the elderly, disabled or parents with young children. However, I can see it as beneficial for anyone. In addition to saving time, I didn't make impulse buys and made a more thorough list than usual. I wouldn't use it for a quick trip to get just a few items, but I'll definitely use ClickList again for my major weekly shopping trip!

Developer Moving Forward With Plans To Build Outlet Mall Near Sunbury
The race is on to build a new outlet shopping mall near Sunbury in Delaware County.
One of two developers in the race is moving forward with the proposal.
Phil Karshner said he's called Berkshire Township home since 1967.
Today, he's watching and waiting for development to move in next door.
"Do I want it? I don't think it's a question of me wanting it, it's a question of when it is going to get here," said Karshner.
Karsher is referring to the proposed outlet mall to be built just east of I-71 and south of US 36 – State Route 37.
Northgate Centre Development just submitted a request to the township to rezone 88 acres from agricultural to planned commercial.
With that application, the developer submitted a preliminary development plan, complete with sketches of the design of the mall and photos of buildings.
Currently, there is no way to access the property, but the developer says he plans to eventually extend Wilson Road south to Cheshire Road.
A spokesperson for Tanger Outlets and Simon Property Group told 10TV that the companies are moving forward with plans to put an outlet mall on the west side of I-71 south of US 36/SR 37.
The township's administrator and zoning inspector, Jeff George, said the chances of seeing two malls so close to each other is rather slim.
"I can't speak for the developers all I can tell you is what I've heard, and what I've heard is that is difficult," George said.
One mall or two, Phil Karshner said he's ready.
The Berskshire Township administrator said the township's zoning commission will hear Northgate's rezoning request at its April 4 meeting.
From there, the trustees will vote on the request.
If the trustees approve the right to rezone, it would then be put to a public vote.

Thulani Maseko and Bheki Makhubu charged with criminal contempt of court in Swaziland for writing and publishing articles criticizing the judiciary
The Center for Human Rights & Humanitarian Law at American University Washington College of Law, along with many other human rights institutions and governments, is gravely concerned regarding the serious violations of the human rights to freedom of expression, right to a free and impartial trial, freedom from arbitrary detention in the case of Thulani Maseko and Bheki Makhubu in Swaziland, which holds the honor of being the last autocratically-ruled kingdom in sub-saharan africa under King Ngwenyama Mswati III.
Thulani Maseko is a Swazi human rights lawyer and graduate of American University Washington College of Law. Bheki Makhubu is a prominent journalist and the editor of the Nation magazine. These two men were arrested, detained, convicted of contempt of court, and sentenced to two years in prison, for exercising their fundamental human rights to freedom of expression in writing and publishing articles criticizing the judiciary in Swaziland.
The trial of Mr. Maseko and Mr. Makhubu violated their human rights to a free and fair trial by an impartial judiciary. Moreover, the imprisonment of Mr. Maseko and Mr. Makhubu is a violation of their rights to liberty and freedom from arbitrary arrest and detention. A full case summary is available here on our website. Below is a compilation of statements made on behalf of Mr. Maseko and Mr. Makhubu from across the globe, as well as news articles and other resources.
The Center for Human Rights & Humanitarian Law at American University Washington College of Law called for the immediate acquital and release of Mr. Maseko and Mr. Makhubu in this statement.

Ruben Gonzalez, Pianist, 1919 - 2003
Ruben Gonzalez, the elegant Cuban pianist who charmed the world with his gentle manner and dazzling style during a remarkable late-career comeback with the Buena Vista Social Club, has died in Havana. He was 84.
The diminutive musician had been in failing health in recent years, racked by arthritis and suffering memory loss. The American guitarist Ry Cooder, who produced the 1997 Buena Vista Social Club album, says he last saw Gonzalez two years ago, but the enfeebled pianist didn't recognise him.
Gonzalez, however, never forgot how to play.
"He was rusty but great," Cooder recalled of his first meeting with Gonzalez in 1996. "He was this little old guy, but you could see he could still play. He was a very kinetic player, very high energy and had that very animated quality that Cuban musicians have . . .
"That is very hard to get on tape - microphones don't see that kind of energy . . . Some people can play fast, some people can play loud, some people can play sad, some people can play scary, but this dancing quality, for me, has something to do with your character. He was a happy man, Ruben. Cheerful, happy, laughing."
Gonzalez was born in Santa Clara, in central Cuba. A cobbler's son, he studied medicine and classical piano, hoping to work as a doctor by day and musician by night until, he told the San Francisco Examiner in 1998, "I found out that doctors had to be on call all the time."
He started working as a full-time musician in 1941, the dawn of a golden era in Cuban music. His career would span six decades, marked by bright accomplishments and long periods of disillusionment.
Gonzalez played with some of the greats in the history of Cuban music, including Arsenio Rodriguez, the legendary blind bandleader, in the 1940s, and Enrique Jorrin, who created the cha cha cha in the 1950s.
The work was not all glamorous. Gonzalez once recalled he played nightclubs in the old days from 9pm until 4am, performing 25 or 30 numbers a night, often in response to shouted requests from the audience. The regimen kept his mind and fingers nimble.
In 1979, Gonzalez led a series of recording sessions by Las Estrellas de Areito, an all-star Cuban line-up of the day. The albums were recently reissued by World Circuit, the label behind the Buena Vista craze. Cooder says he recalls first hearing Gonzalez on those Areito recordings.
After Jorrin's death in 1987, Gonzalez tried unsuccessfully to lead the band. He soon retired on a pension and stopped playing altogether. His piano crumbled after 60 years of faithful use, victim to rain, rot and termites.
Gonzalez did not come out of retirement for the Buena Vista sessions. He was recruited earlier that same year by Juan de Marcos Gonzalez for another project by the Afro-Cuban All Stars, A Todoa Cuba le Gusta. On that album, recorded just days before Buena Vista, Gonzalez gave a sterling preview of the classic technique that would win him a new generation of international admirers. On an instrumental cut named for him, Clasiqueando con Ruben, Gonzalez shines with his graceful technique, a delicate touch combined with an impeccable sense of rhythm.
At the same time, after Buena Vista was finished, Gonzalez got the chance to make the first album of his career as bandleader, Introducing . . . Ruben Gonzalez. It was recorded live with no overdubs in just two days in April 1996, the month he turned 77.
Buena Vista's eventual success turned Gonzalez into an unlikely celebrity, cheered as he shuffled, hunched-shouldered, onto the world's most prestigious stages. But despite the fame and frenzy of success, he maintained a dignified composure and a quiet devotion to his art, clearly demonstrated in director Wim Wender's Buena Vista documentary.
"I think people had forgotten about me in Cuba, even my friends," he told The Times of London in 1998.
"Then suddenly, they find that I am more successful than at any time in my life. They are a little surprised. So am I."
Gonzalez embraced his belated success, which boosted his spirits and improved his arthritis from the renewed use of his fingers. In 1999, during a tour of Scotland, the buoyant octogenarian told a local reporter that the gruelling tour schedule didn't tire him.
"I love this travelling," said the white-haired musician. "I never want to stay still again."
