Transmit power and video signals over standard UTP CAT5 cables up to 2000ft. The video/power balun system carries DC power along with video over standard UTP cable making your installation faster and easier. The 82-9300 UTP splitter/transmitter delivers power to all 4 cameras from a single power input terminal connection on the back (note: 82-9200, 12VDC, 1.5A power adapter for transmitter sold separately). The built-in DC plug on each of the 4 video/power baluns (#82-9295, sold individually) connects to each camera's DC12V power input jack so you don't have to worry about mounting the cameras within reach of a power outlet. The 4CH video balun (82-8140) receives the video signal from the 82-9300 transmitter over a single UTP cable and breaks the signal back out to 4 75ohm BNC connections (for connecting to DVR).

Urban air pollution will become the top environmental killer by 2050, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has found. The Paris-based policy group said Thursday that dirty air will kill more people worldwide each year than dirty drinking water or unsanitary living conditions.
A new report released by the group says that 3.6 million people are expected to die each year from breathing in air pollutants that affect the respiratory system. Most of those deaths will occur in China and India.
"Action needs to be taken now to prevent irreversible damage to the environment," the report urges.

Possible solutions include switching to cleaner forms of energy and changing the way fuel is taxed. Many governments, for example, give tax breaks to people who use diesel fuel because it has lower greenhouse gas emissions. But diesel fuel is actually worse for human health because it releases more "particulate matter" into the air, which harms the lungs, the Guardian reported.
"In environmental terms, there is no reason to give diesel tax breaks," Simon Upton, environment director at the OECD, told the Guardian.
The report also found that greenhouse gas emissions will increase 50 percent by 2050 if world governments do not come up with new policies to fight pollution, such as carbon taxes. If nothing changes, renewable energy sources will continue to make up just 10 percent of energy sources, Reuters reported.
"Greening agriculture, water and energy supply and manufacturing will be critical by 2050 to meet the needs of over 9 billion people," OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría said in a press release.

San Francisco State communications professor and tv political analyst Joe Tuman has told Oaklanders that he may not have any elected office experience, but that his plans for Oakland have substance.
"There's meat on these bones," he told those gathered at a mayoral forum.
But on perhaps Oakland's most pressing issue, the budget, Tuman has so far been vague.
Each of the main candidates have vulnerabilities in how they approach city financing. Rebecca Kaplan doesn't talk much about cuts at all. Some of Don Perata's cuts have seeming contradictions — cutting lawyers in the city attorney's office while at the same time cutting the use of outside attorneys. And Jean Quan has been the chairwoman of the City Council finance committee during this fiscal crisis.
Tuman is coming at the issue as an outside candidate. And critics have raised questions about how steep his learning curve would have to be if elected.
At a meeting with the Chronicle editorial board, Tuman was asked how he would cut the upcoming budget deficit — which is somewhere between $28 million to $54 million. He said he hadn't come prepared to answer that question.
It wasn't the first time he's said that. When asked in a questionnaire by the citizen group Make Oakland Better Now what he would do to cut the city's deficit, Tuman didn't offer any cuts. Instead, he said he would do an audit after being elected. (see his answer to question #2)
Tuman says he wants to increase the number of police officers to at least 900 by the end of his first term. He wants to encourage retirement from the 15 percent of the police force that's within 3 years of retirement age. Tuman then says he would hire those officers back without benefits.(See question #7))
These types of hires are known as annuitants and are increasingly controversial. Tuman says older employees are costly, and that he would use the savings to hire new cops at a much lower wage scale. He says he'd convince the Oakland Police Officers Association to change starting wages to around $45,000 while they are currently at around $80,000.
The city has done "Golden Handshakes" in the past, giving years of service credit toward pensions in exchange for retiring early. That plan required vacancies, both to save money and to follow government code.
Tuman, however, says his plan avoids those restrictions by offering no years of credit toward a pension.
He says that he would not give any financial incentives to officers to retire other than the promise that they would be hired back at less than half time. He says officers would be motivated by getting half their previous salaries on top of collecting their pension.
For every retiree rehired under this plan, Tuman says that he would use the savings to hire up to two more officers full-time.
Whether any officers would actually do this is unclear. Even Tuman admits that only 15 officers in a department currently at around 679 might go for this.
Tuman doesn't have many of the details of this plan up on his web site. He also said he didn't have a web link to how it has been used elsewhere.
"I know it has been used in my department," he said of the Communications Studies Department at San Francisco State University.
Even if all that were to happen, Tuman would still have to begin to identify the tens of millions of dollars in cuts that would await the next mayor.
Tuman has raised other questions about his budget plans. Among other things, he told me that he didn't know what Neighborhood Service Coordinators are — even though they've been an issue central to the city's budget discussions for the past two years.
Those sort of reactions have been highlighted by critics like Vsmoothe, a diligent Oakland government watcher/blogger who has been pretty unforgiving of Tuman's shortcomings at her blog, www.ABetterOakland.com

This garden pergola is a truly stunning feature for any garden shape and size. It will easily become the focal point of the garden offering amazing value for money. Not only does it allow for climbing plants, it acts as an opening to the garden, one that really does impress.
This garden pergola is manufactured from FSC certified timber, selected for its high quality and sustainable sourcing. The manufacturer has then further pressure treated the timber used to create the garden pergola to make sure a no less than 15 year rot free period is ensured. This removes the need for any further treatment which overtime can lead to high costs and time wasted. Fifteen years assures that you're investing in a long term addition to the garden, lasting much longer than cheaper alternatives on the market.
The manufacturer has thought about the garden pergola and has designed it to have the most stable design it can have. The timber poles have additional length which sits in the ground nicely, keeping your garden pergola standing without issue. The slatted sides provides a space for climbing plants to grow and develop and really transforms the garden once fully developed.

College students who entered the country illegally appear closer than ever to receiving financial aid in California.
On a party-line vote of 51-21, the state Assembly approved a bill Thursday that allows those students to collect privately-funded college scholarships.
Assemblyman Gil Cedillo, a Democrat from Los Angeles and the author of AB130, has introduced a similar bill every year since 2005. Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, vetoed the legislation repeatedly, but Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown made a campaign pledge to sign it.
Dozens of Democrats in the Assembly spoke in support of the bill, arguing that students should not be punished because their parents brought them into the country illegally. They said immigrant labor makes comfortable, middle-class standards of living possible and that California should reward skilled and educated immigrants.
"Undocumented immigrants, in fact, do have rights, and it's a lie that they don't," Cedillo said.
He named his bill the California Dream Act, but unlike the federal Dream Act, it does not include a path to citizenship.
The bill affects students who are in the country illegally but paying in-state tuition. It allows them to collect college scholarships that are not funded by public dollars. Another bill by Cedillo, still in committee, would make those students eligible for state-funded financial aid.
Illegal immigrants in three other states already have access to financial aid, according to Cedillo's office. His bill now heads to the Senate.
Republicans said the legislation diverts resources from citizens and invites illegal immigration.
"If I were a father in a war-torn country to the south of us, and I couldn't feed my children, and I had no way to pay for their education, I'd be tempted to come here," said Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks. He founded the state's largest chapter of the Minuteman Project, which privately patrols the border for illegal immigrants.
Another opponent, Assemblyman Chris Norby, R-Fullerton, said the bill is pointless because after illegal immigrants receive their college diplomas, companies can't hire them. He referenced the federal Dream Act, which Congress failed to pass last year.
"And until it does, this bill is like a coach on a team saying, 'Yeah, I'll make you practice, you'll do the wind sprints, you'll go through all the drills, but I can't legally let you in the game. And if I do, I'll be punished,'" Norby said.
Cedillo returned to that analogy, saying employers will be able to act with certainty once comprehensive immigration reform is achieved.
"Shouldn't we be prepared for that moment?" he said.

When most people plan a vacation for Tuscany they plan on touring as many museums and eating as much food as possible, but there is more to the region than just art and food. Tuscany is one of the most beautiful regions in all of Italy. Many people reserve Tuscany villa rentals in scenic areas so they can spend their vacation enjoying the beautiful views from their windows. If you're visiting Tuscany any time soon you need to make sure that you spend time soaking in the beautiful weather and scenery.
Bike Tours
If you really want to see Tuscany's breathtaking landscape don't take a regular bus tour, sign up for one of the many bike tours offered in the region and get ready to be amazed. Biking tours give tourists the unique opportunity to have a truly immersive sightseeing experience. You can ride past the beautiful rolling hills in Val d'Orcia while feeling the Tuscan sunshine and wind on your face. You can bike near the Tuscan Archipelago near the Tyrrhenian Sea and taste the salt in the air as you pass by. The tour guides plan the most scenic routes possible and can take you to relatively unknown but beautiful places. Some even plan for scheduled wine and oil tasting stops so you get to taste, see, smell, and feel all of Tuscany during your tour.
Cinque Terre
There are many different kinds of walking tours in the region. Some walking tours are more like spread out food and wine tasting events and others take you through the many different local museums. If you take one walking tour during your vacation make sure it's one of the Cinque Terre walking tours, it'll make leaving your Tuscany villa rental worth it. Cinque Terre is infamous craggy and rugged costal region of the Italian Riviera. The surround five villages have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and you'll soak in far more scenery by walking around outside instead of viewing it from the window of a bus or van.

Claiming that in a conflict between state and federal law, federal law always prevails, a federal judge overturned a Missouri law that exempted employers who object to birth control from the ObamaCare contraception mandate.
According to the Associated Press, the law, passed by the state legislature last year over the veto of Gov. Jay Nixon, "requires insurers to issue policies without contraception coverage if individuals or employers assert that the use of birth control violates their 'moral, ethical or religious beliefs.'" It was a clear attempt to counter the Obama administration's rule that all health insurers cover contraception at no cost even where employers offering the insurance to their employees object to such coverage. The administration made exceptions for churches but not for other employers, thus demanding that those employers check their convictions at the office door.
The law was challenged by insurance providers seeking to keep themselves out of legal jeopardy. If they were to abide by the state law and write policies that did not include contraceptive coverage, they could find themselves in hot water with the federal government. On the other hand, if they were to follow the ObamaCare mandate, they would then run afoul of state law. Two insurers, in fact, had already found themselves in the latter situation, with the state insurance department seeking civil penalties against them for failing to offer plans excluding contraceptive coverage.
U.S. District Judge Audrey Fleissig, who had issued a temporary restraining order against the law in December, struck it down on March 14 on the basis that the state law "is in conflict with, and pre-empted by, existing federal law" and "could force health insurers to risk fines and penalties by choosing between compliance with state or federal law." Fleissig, who was appointed to the bench by President Barack Obama, "emphasized that she was taking no position on the merits of the Obama administration policy," the AP reports.
She was, however, taking a position on the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution, which states: "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof … shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding."
Fleissig's opinion, which is shared by the majority of judges and legal scholars, seems to be that any federal law trumps any conflicting state law. But the supremacy clause is more nuanced than that. "That clause says that laws made by the United States 'in pursuance' of the Constitution are the supreme law of the land which means that acts not in 'pursuance' of the Constitution are not laws at all," as Emory University professor Dr. Donald Livingston explained to the South Carolina House Judiciary Subcommittee in February.
Now Fleissig and others might argue that since the Supreme Court has declared ObamaCare constitutional, the matter is therefore decided, and states must simply accede to the wishes of the federal government. Livingston disagrees:
But who is to decide whether an act is or is not in "pursuance" of the Constitution? Some would say the Supreme Court. The Court may, indeed, express an opinion, but it cannot have the final say. That can only be vested in the supreme authority that ratified the Constitution and gave it the force of law, namely the people of the several states….
Only the states themselves have the final say over what their … powers are. And Madison said that if the central government should intrude into the state's [sic] reserved powers, the states would have a "duty" to "interpose" and protect their citizens from harm.
In other words, the Show Me State has every right — a duty, in fact — to refuse to cooperate with the contraception mandate and, indeed, with the whole of ObamaCare since neither falls within the federal government's constitutionally enumerated powers. (Missouri voters took a step in that direction just months after ObamaCare became law, overwhelmingly approving a ballot initiative nullifying the individual mandate.) Fleissig was wrong to rule otherwise.
The state insurance department has said it will no longer enforce the law and will drop its complaints against the two insurance companies. As a result, Fleissig felt no need to issue a permanent injunction against the law.
Insurers were, of course, pleased with her decision. It "clears up what law they have to write the policies under," Brent Butler, government affairs director of the Missouri Insurance Coalition, told the AP, adding that "that's all we were asking."
Peter Brownlie, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, was possibly even happier with the outcome. The AP writes that Brownlie "praised the ruling for ensuring 'that all Missouri women — no matter who their boss is — have access to basic preventive health care without a co-pay, including birth control.'"
Those with objections to contraception and those forms of it that can cause abortions were displeased.
Our Lady's Inn, a nonprofit that provides homes and counseling for pregnant women in the St. Louis area, had filed a court document declaring that it planned to opt out of contraceptive coverage for its employees, which it will not be able to do given Fleissig's ruling.
"The point of the law was to tell health insurance companies that they're supposed to honor the wishes — pro or con — of people who have religious or ethical objections to what's in the policy," Timothy Belz, attorney for Our Lady's Inn, told the AP.
Campaign Life Missouri, in an e-mail, was more forceful in its denunciation of the decision, calling it "a radical departure from America's tradition of religious freedom." Spokesman Sam Lee told LifeNews.com that the state attorney general's office had "ably defended" the law and urged people to contact the office in support of an appeal.
Attorney General Chris Koster has not yet stated whether he will appeal the ruling. If he does, he will surely meet fierce resistance from opponents of federalism and believers in forcing some people to violate their consciences so that others can obtain something they desire for (seemingly) nothing. Therefore, Koster will need all the backup he can get.

Its only autumn and yet our air already looks like we're well on our way to inversion season. I know there are many other sources of pollution in the valley but I'd like to encourage everyone to try to reduce their car emissions as we approach the winter months.
Ride your bike to work or take the bus or TRAX if you live too far away. If UTA's service is poor in your area, as it inevitably tends to be, try to find neighbors to carpool with. When possible, try to combine trips when you're out running errands and don't leave your car idling if you're stopped for more than a minute or two.
I know these choices aren't always easy for everyone but those of us who can change our driving habits need to do so. There are simply too many cars traveling too many miles in the valley and we all suffer as a result. Don't hold your breath waiting for the Legislature to do something, please do your part now to clean our air.

The Face of Nature:
In these reflections on the mercurial qualities of style in Ovid's Meta-morphoses, Garth Tissol contends that stylistic features of the ever-shifting narrative surface, such as wordplay, narrative disruption, and the self-conscious reworking of the poetic tradition, are thematically significant. It is the style that makes the process of reading the work a changing, transformative experience, as it both embodies and reflects the poem's presentation of the world as defined by instability and flux. Tissol deftly illustrates that far from being merely ornamental, style is as much a site for interpretation as any other element of Ovid's art.
In the first chapter, Tissol argues that verbal wit and wordplay are closely linked to Ovidian metamorphoses. Wit challenges the ordinary conceptual categories of Ovid's readers, disturbing and extending the meanings and references of words. Thereby it contributes on the stylistic level to the readers' apprehension of flux. On a larger scale, parallel disturbances occur in the progress of narratives. In the second and third chapters, the author examines surprise and abrupt alteration of perspective as important features of narrative style. We experience reading as a transformative process not only in the characteristic indirection and unpredictability of Ovid's narrative but also in the memory of his predecessors. In the fourth chapter, Tissol shows how Ovid subsumes Vergil's Aeneid into the Metamorphoses in an especially rich allusive exploitation, one which contrasts Vergil's aetiological themes with those of his own work.

"This book makes the first sustained argument (and a convincing one at that) for thematic significance of the poem's characteristic stylistic and narrative features. There are many excellent analyses of the designed instability of Ovid's text in general and Ovid's narrative indirection and downright deception in particular. I know of nothing comparable on this poem."--John F. Miller, University of Virginia

Although Israel's foreign minister immediately denounced Cairo's "grave" decision and warned that it could harm Egypt's ability to play a role in the peace process, his comments had the ring of false bravado. As the first Arab country to make peace with Israel, Egypt has played an anchor role in efforts to broker an Israeli-Palestinian agreement, and it is generally acknowledged that the support of moderate Arab regimes is indispensable to securing compromise between Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and the Israelis. Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia are under increasing pressure from their own citizenry to take a stronger stand in support of the Palestinians, especially since Jerusalem became a central point of contention in the peace process.
Dangers for Israel
There's little danger of Israel finding itself once again on a war footing with its neighbors. Egypt may have little enthusiasm for being at peace with Israel in the current circumstances, but it has no taste for being at war with its stronger neighbor. Still, the change in tenor of relations with its original Arab peace partner signals dangers for Israel U.S. interests in the region are best served when Israel and the moderate Arab regimes are in accord; discord between them creates dilemmas for Washington, particularly in periods when the support of moderate Arab regimes is needed in its pursuit of lower oil prices or in crises such as the Gulf War. And the warning to Israel was clear in Monday's State Department statement that "the Israelis also need to understand that the excessive use of force is not the right way to go," as well as off-the-record comments by senior administration officials chiding Israel for its "disproportionate and excessive" response to Monday's bombing.
The events of the past two days also appear to have once again dashed hopes of restoring a cease-fire. While Arafat had called late last week for a halt to firing on Israelis from territories under his control, and blamed Monday's bomb blast on factions opposed to the peace process, the Israelis held his Fatah organization directly responsible and made its facilities the prime target of their overnight bombardment. The hard men on both sides appear to have started another cycle of revenge, which, no matter how much blood is spilled, always seems to return both sides to the same impasse.

South Africa's sums don't add up
The South African football team should not be allowed to sing. Last year, when they belted out a tune while walking into Pretoria's Loftus Versfeld Stadium to play Uruguay in a World Cup group match, they lost 3-0. On Saturday, when they entertained the crowd with a song to celebrate their goalless draw against Sierra Leone in Nelspruit, thinking that would be enough to qualify for the African Nations' Cup (ANC), they were wrong. Embarrassingly wrong.
Going into the final round of qualifiers, South Africa needed to beat Sierra Leone and hope Egypt's youngsters would overcome Niger in order for Bafana Bafana to qualify for next year's ANC. Nothing less than victory, and a favour, would have seen South Africa through to the continental showpiece but when Egypt were comfortably leading Niger, Bafana Bafana thought a draw would be enough.
South Africa coach Pitso Mosimane decided to beef up defensively and introduced midfielders Reneilwe Letsholonyane and Oupa Manyisa and instructed his men to guard goal, not go for it. The draw would earn South Africa a point, which would give them a total of nine, the same number as Niger and Sierra Leone. With a goal difference of +2, South Africa were under the impression that they would qualify.
But, CAF have their own regulations which govern how to decide between teams who finish on equal points in a group. Rule 14.1 states: The team with the "greater number of points obtained in the matches between the concerned teams" will go through. Simply put, that means that the first determinate is the head-to-head record between teams that are level on points.
So results against Egypt would not be taken into account in a mini-league and since Niger registered wins over both South Africa and Sierra Leone, they had more points (six) and went through. Complicated, but not impossible, to understand.
South Africa has a literacy rate of 88%, well above Niger's 28.7%, Sierra Leone's 38% or Egypt's 66.4% but still, they failed to read the rules and were baffled when they were told they had missed out on the tournament. South Africa started off confused, then irate, then despairing and then just plain spoilt brat loser-ish when they decided to appeal to CAF.
"We believe that the team finishing top of the log at the end of the competition is automatically determined at the end of 90 minutes play, and that the second place is determined by the other rules." CAF would do well to tell the South African Football Association (SAFA) that they can believe Johannesburg is in North Africa and the Springboks will win the Rugby World Cup if they choose to, but it will not matter because there are rules, not beliefs, in place to determine who qualifies for the ANC.
"Those rules are wrong," Kirsten Nematandani, SAFA President defiantly told South African television channel eNews. Over the course of the next few days, SAFA will hopefully come up with more coherent arguments. Already, they have said their superior goal difference should count for something, an argument that could win them friends in some quarters, and that CAF should design more straightforward rules, a line of attack that will see them gain even more supporters. It may cause a change somewhere down the line, but it's unlikely to make a difference now. Or at the CAF Under-23 Championship later this year, the competition which determines who will participate in the Olympics, or for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. It's of small consolation for South Africa that they automatically qualify for the 2013 ANC, as hosts.
Nigeria were the other big name to fail to make it to the tournament. They drew 2-2 with Guinea in Abuja, causing home fans to vent their anger at the team. The action in the match only started in the second half when Guinea took the lead but, with six minutes left on the clock, Nigeria were leading 2-1. Guinea equalised just before the final whistle with an Ibrahima Traore goal. Nigerian fans went on to pelt the team bus with any object they could find. The Super Eagles will not appear at the continental competition for the first time since 1996, prompting calls for coach Samson Siasa's head.
Chaos ensued all round when striker Peter Odemwingie, who made his return to the national side, was quoted in local paper's as blaming a prophet, TB Joshua, for making a negative prediction for the side. Odemwingie denied making the statements and used his Twitter account to quote verses from The Bible about no man being an island. Siasa said sorry to the Nigerian public, saying his team did their best. "We want to apologise to all Nigerians. We have not qualified for the Nations Cup and we take responsibility as a team," Siasia said. "We did our best, we dominated the game, we created chances, but we failed to take our chances and we gave up a last minute goal."
Here's a look at the other groups and who made it through to the tournament next year:
Mali drew 2-2 with Liberia to qualify top of the group. Cape Verde's 2-1 in over Zimbabwe put them on equal points with Mali, but Mali go through with a better head-to-head record. Zimbabwe have lodged a complaint with FIFA, saying they believe the Mali match was fixed. A newspaper in Liberia reported that a delegation had been to the country to fix the match, although no details were given. Zimbabwe said they would play their fixture against Cape Verde "under protest," and await FIFA and CAF's response to their grievance.
Guinea qualified after their 2-2 draw with Nigeria.
Zambia and Libya played out a goalless draw and both teams will advance to the tournament, Zambia as group winners and Libya as second best runners-up with 12 points from their six matches.
Libya's qualification is particularly noteworthy because they only played one match at home, due to the ongoing revolution in their country. The uprising has had a direct impact on their football team, with one player expelled for expressing negative thoughts about the rebels and others refusing to play in the new white kit until the country has been liberated. Their coach, Brazil's Manuel Paqueta, has reportedly not been paid in six months, but continues to lead the team. They declared their draw, and subsequent qualification, a direct result of their 39-year-old goalkeeper Samir Aboud's athletic keeping. Aboud, in turn, dedicated the achievement to his country. "My team-mates and I dedicate our qualification to all Libyans - to our revolution," he said.
Zambia topped the group with four wins and see this tournament as their best chance at victory on the big stage, as the finals will be missing many continental heavyweights. However, in the aftermath of their win, players have called for coach Dario Bonetti to be dismissed, telling the Lusaka Times that he failed to inspire them. The players, who asked to remain anonymous, said they only reached the tournament because of their collective efforts. "After realising that the coach was not taking us anywhere, we took it upon ourselves to ensure we qualify for the Africa Cup. It is also important to appreciate the input of assistant coach Honour Janza," one of them said.
Morocco beat Tanzania 3-1 to seal their place at the ANC while the Central African Republic went down 2-0 to Algeria to end their dream of qualifying for the tournament.
Senegal had already qualified and beat bottom placed Mauritius 2-0 in a dead rubber. Cameroon, who were not in contention for the tournament, managed a 3-2 win over DRC, which counted for nothing.
Burkina Faso drew with Gambia 1-1 in a match that had no impact on qualification, with Burkina Faso awaiting FIFA's response on an ineligible player before rubber stamping their tickets to Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
South Africa's sour grapes will mean nothing because Niger are on their way to ANC for the first time.
Ivory Coast had already qualified and the Toure brothers both found the back of the net in their 2-1 win over Burundi, denying the small nation any chance of sneaking through. Rwanda beat Benin 1-0 in a match that had no impact on the group.
Asamoah Gyan and John Mensah gave Ghana a 2-0 win over Sudan, but both teams advance to the ANC. Ghana top the group and Sudan are best runners-up with 13 points. Ghana, like Zambia, see this as an ideal opportunity to push for continental glory and their FA president, Kwesi Nyantekyie, has demanded a Black Stars triumph. "From 2008 when we won bronze we improved in 2010 by winning silver so it is just a matter of course that we are favourites for gold n 2012," he said.
Coach Goran Stevanovic was pleased with the way his team performed, especially in the uncomfortable heat, which soared to over 40 degrees Celsius. "They were not intimidated by the weather, by the capacity crowd cheering for Sudan and by the fact that they were playing away from home," he said. "If the boys continue on this note, I think we will go places in the future."
Uganda and Kenya played to a goalless draw, allowing Angola, who beat Guinea-Bissau 2-0, to qualify. Uganda needed a victory to go through and their failure to do so places pressure on their Scottish coach Bobby Williamson, who said the match would be a defining one for his career. Williamson is contracted to the Ugandan team until the 2014 World Cup and said he would like to see out his tenure.
GROUP K: Botswana were already through and Tunisia joined them after a 2-0 win over Togo. Malawi could have gone through, had they beaten Chad away, but they only managed a 2-2 draw. Tunisia's qualification allows coach Sami Trabelsi to keep his job, in accordance with his goals-based contract.

LIMA, Peru — As Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez recovers in a Havana hospital from his fourth cancer operation in 18 months, the race to succeed him has already begun back in his divided homeland.
In an emotional address Wednesday, Vice President Nicolas Maduro described the six-hour procedure one day before as "complex, difficult, delicate, which tells us that the post-operative process is going to be difficult and tough."
If anything, that was a more optimistic message than the one Chavez himself delivered over the weekend, when he effectively acknowledged the possibility that he would be unable to finish — and possibly even begin — his new six-year term, due to start on Jan. 10.
Then, Chavez formally anointed Maduro, an affable, highly loyal 50-year-old former bus driver and union leader, his political heir, calling on Venezuelans to vote for him should he be unable to continue in office.
Under Venezuelan law, a new election must be held within 30 days should the president die or be incapacitated in the first four years of his term.
Henrique Capriles, who lost against Chavez in October, responded: "This is not Cuba, nor a monarchy, where there is a king and therefore the person designated by him climbs onto the throne."
He added, "In Venezuela, when a person leaves an [elected] position, the last word always belongs to the people."
His emphatic tone is understandable — if Chavez is unable to continue as president, the 40-year-old state governor Capriles appears the most likely person to succeed him.
The basketball-playing centrist ran an energetic, highly effective campaign against Chavez, earning him 44 percent of the vote to the president's 55 percent.
More from GlobalPost: Bullet to ballot — Today's Latin American strongmen cling to power at the polls
If that sounds like a crushing loss, it's worth recalling that it is a far better performance than any other opposition candidate running against Chavez since the 58-year-old former army officer was first elected president in 1998.
Capriles was also the first candidate to run for a unified opposition to Chavez, under the umbrella Democratic Unity grouping made up of a cluster of democratic parties from the center-left to center-right.
First, Capriles will need to emerge unscathed from his own re-election campaign as governor of Miranda, Venezuela's richest state, this Sunday. He faces a strong challenge from Elias Jaua, a former vice president and a staunch Chavez ally. Polls show that race too tight to call.
Should Capriles win in Miranda, the opposition could rally behind him for a new race for the presidency. Should he lose in his home state, analysts say, that could even herald the break-up of Democratic Unity.
Yet there remains real uncertainty surrounding the electoral impact of an early death for Chavez, whose welfare programs have made him hugely popular with the poor — and earned him the nickname of Don Regalon, or Mr Giveaway, among his critics.
Capriles — or any other opposition candidate — could find himself buried under a national wave of emotion, as Venezuelans make a legacy vote for Chavez's "Bolivarian" revolution.
A similar surge saw Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner re-elected to the presidency in Argentina in 2011 after her husband Nestor Kirchner, who had himself termed out as president, died suddenly of a heart attack the previous year.
So far, reactions in Venezuela to Chavez's latest diagnosis — the president has revealed that he has cancer in the pelvic area but not the precise location or kind of disease — have been mixed.
Colorful public displays of devotion have been sweeping the South American nation. But in a highly polarized country, criticism of the president is never far from the surface.
"There is an episode of barefaced lying, not to his closest followers, but to Venezuelans in general, those who voted for him specifically when, upon returning from Cuba before Oct. 7, he swore that he was totally cured," wrote Elizabeth Araujo in a column titled "The Con" in the leftist, opposition paper TalCual.
Meanwhile, Capriles' warning that there was no automatic succession in Venezuela could also be echoing in an unexpected quarter — the PSUV.
Despite a strong public showing of unity, reports were already emerging in Venezuela that some of the party's senior members might contest the stricken president's naming of Maduro as his heir apparent.
Diasdado Cabello was one name being mentioned. A speaker of Venezuela's congress, he was unseated from the Miranda governorship in a high-profile battle with Capriles in 2008. He subsequently refused to follow Chavez's orders to run for governor in another state, Monagas.
"No one can rule out that that act of rebellion would be repeated if presidential elections are called for 2013," noted another TalCaul columnist, Simon Boccanegra.
Another possible rival to Maduro is Elias Jaua, a previous vice president and, like Cabello, one of Chavez's most senior lieutenants.
But Jaua also faces his own test of fire on Sunday, after being handpicked by Chavez to run against Capriles in Miranda.
With everyone from Latin America's leftist presidents to Hollywood radical Sean Penn wishing Chavez a full recovery, the Venezuelan leader is not short of supporters at home or abroad.
But should the stricken president sicken further, sentiment will likely be put to one side as Venezuelans are tasked with deciding whether his "Bolivarian" revolution outlives its controversial founder.

Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted leader for video content management and webcasting solutions, today announced that its customer Ashland University won a 2013 AV Technology End-User Award and an InfoComm People's Choice Award for its creative use of Mediasite in its nursing simulation center and classrooms. AV Technology End-User Awards through AV Technology Magazine recognizes innovations that benefit end-users, technology managers and facility directors. Ashland University's Simulation Center at Dwight Schar College of Nursing & Health Sciences won the award for 'Most Future-Forward Use of AV in a Command & Control System' for its inventive use of Mediasite. Sonic Foundry's Mediasite Enterprise Video Platform also received an award for ' Best New Rich Media Data Management System.' Winners were announced at the NewBay Media Awards Ceremony recently at InfoComm 2013 in Orlando, Fla. Ashland University's project also won an InfoComm People's Choice Award in the healthcare category. A panel of technical managers, journalists and educators selected Ashland University as a finalist, and attendees of InfoComm 2013 June 12-14 in Orlando, Fla. selected winners. The Dwight Schar College of Nursing & Health Sciences building in Mansfield, Ohio is home to an automated and streamlined educational technology program, providing students with an experiential environment that improves learning outcomes. To teach basic nursing care and prioritization of patient care, students practice in seven simulation labs, four exam rooms, and a home healthcare lab. Mediasite Recorders are linked to the master control room and assist in recording and managing online instruction. Nursing and healthcare students watch and review instruction in debriefing rooms or in an online environment after the simulation takes place. "Mediasite was one of the components used in online instruction integrated with simulated patients. Simulators, which are robotic patients, are programmed to give life-like responses to medical conditions," said Tom Kemp, director of instructional technology and learning management at Ashland University. "Mediasite allows our nursing program to thrive."

The Latin American Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (LABACE) continues to grow, and next week's show, to be held from August 15 to 17 in São Paulo, Brazil, will be the biggest and best yet, according to the sponsoring Aviação Brasileira de Aviação Geral (Abag).
With 30 percent more exhibit space available this year, the event could easily break last year's record 170 exhibitors, according to Abag chairman Eduardo Marson. There were 67 airplanes on display in 2011, 12 more than in 2010, and this year the additional ramp space will accommodate nearly 75 airplanes, including an ACJ318 from Airbus and a Lineage 1000 from Embraer. It will be the show debut for the Lineage.
Last year, 15,420 visitors came through the gate at Congonhas Airport, surpassing expectations although the general admission price had nearly doubled. And even with a small increase in general admission this year, Marson said he anticipates a 15-percent jump at the gate.
AIN will be publishing special issues of AINalerts from the show on Wednesday, August 15, and Friday, August 17.

A Week to GIVE
A Week to GIVE is an annual event coordinated by the Inter-Sorority Association and Interfraternity Council that encourages fraternities and sororities to participate in service projects as a community.
Held each November, A Week to GIVE kicks off with the Senior Citizens Prom at Meadowbrook Healthcare. In preparation for this event, fraternity and sorority members decorate the nursing home and help residents with their hair and makeup. During the Prom, fraternity/sorority members serve as escorts for the residents and provide corsages, entertainment, and limousine rides.
Another annual event during A Week to GIVE is the Faculty/Staff Appreciation Program. ISA and IFC purchase baskets of apples from local orchards and deliver them to campus departments in appreciation for their support.
During the entire week, each organization is asked to coordinate their own service event or collaborate with another organization to participate in community service. Popular projects include the Salvation Army Soup Kitchen, Oak Street Elementary Study Buddy Program, and Champlain Valley Habitat for Humanity.
A Week to GIVE culminates with the Up 'til Dawn Late Night Event for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Crest Pro-Health Clinical Gum Protection Toothpaste Reviews
Fresh Teeth All Day and NightI have been using Crest Pro- Health tooth paste for about 2 months. I can defintely tell the difference. I brush in the morning and at night before bed. My teeth feel clean and my breath is fresher. I have had better dental check- ups also. My dentist commented on the difference in my teeth. It's a little more expensive, but well worth it.

Best Uses
This set includes some hard to find drivers that are great for working on small items.
Best Uses
Prior to purchasing this set, I had a few small tools in my toolbox that I had to hunt for each time I needed them. Now, I reach for this handy case, pop up the easy to see 'tool rack' with sizes stated and choose my weapon! I like the versitality of the toolholder, the organized case & tools, the variety of tools & the good quality of the whole set.
Best Uses
This is a great set to have. All of the other sets I have bought in the past were cheap and the cases for them were horrible. This has a friction lock and the interchangeable bits flip out so that you can pick the one you want easily. The handle is big and easy to manuever.
Best Uses
I like that the little bits fit into a handle that actually feels like a little handle. I have used the little phillips heads for several things.

THOUSANDS of pounds are up for grabs by community groups thanks to a charitable trust set up by the Bury Times group's parent company.
The Gannett Foundation awards money to support local projects and organisations and, in the past 10 years, has made grants in the UK alone totalling more than £4 million.
Priority is given to projects that bring lasting benefits to communities, including schemes for neighbourhood improvement and problem-solving, economic development, youth development, education and cultural creativity, help for the disadvantaged or disabled and environmental conservation.
Applications are welcome for specific items of equipment, anything from a box of toys for disadvantaged children, to sophisticated medical equipment for cancer research. Applications must be by registered charities.
A spokesman for the foundation said: "We value projects that bring lasting benefits to communities served by our local newspapers and websites.
"While preference may be given to ideas which create a durable legacy for the community, we will consider single events or projects of limited duration that otherwise meet our criteria."
Two local groups to have benefited from a Gannett Foundation grant have been furniture charity RE>BUILD Bury, which received a cheque for £450, and the town's talking newspaper for the blind, Pipeline, which was awarded a grant of £520.
RE>BUILD began in 1998 and the charity provides low-cost items for families on low incomes.
Bury Pipeline produces and circulates news CDs to blind and visually impaired clients throughout the borough.
The foundation, the charitable arm of Gannett Co Inc which is the parent company of Newsquest Media Group — one of the UK's largest publishers and owners of the Bury Times group — favours projects that demonstrate good planning, oversight and financial responsibility.
For an application form, contact Lisa Schofield, The Wellsprings, Civic Centre, Bolton, BL1 1AR, or email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or download it here: GANNETT FOUNDATION APPLICATION FORM 2014 V1.docx
The closing date for forms to be returned is September 12.

Evidence Against Lance Armstrong is 'OVERWHELMING'
As Scooby-Doo would put it: 'Ruh Row Raggy…". The USADA has made public a report that claims Lance Armstrong is part of 'the most sophisticated doping program in history'. What does this mean for his used to be legacy and all of those Livestrong fans….?
The United States Anti-Doping Agency made public a 202 page report that explains in extreme detail the investigation of Lance Armstrong and his lead part in the USPS Team's Doping Program.
They're calling it 'the most sophisticated doping program in history', but what I want to know and what I really care about are the people Lance was supposed to be setting an example for.
So many fans will be let down. Lance was the iconic figure for the Livestrong campaign. "Lance overcame cancer and still became the world's greatest cyclist so he's who I'm going to look up to!" …. not so much anymore.
I am a little torn, though, because he did have cancer. You can't fake that and he still trained and put in the work. So it's not to say that his efforts aren't all together admirable, but to stand up on the 1st place podium 7 times and call himself a winner when he knew he had an illegal edge is just shameful.
I don't know…
It's just a sad day for fans all over the world.

From the Design Desk: Illustration Blogs With Narrative
The Missed Connections illustrated blog by Sophie Blackall is finding lots of followers. In fact, there's even a short video about the blog made by Babelgum. Blackall reads Craigslist's Missed Connections and posts her pictorial vision of these fleeting moments along with the text from the ads themselves. They can be sweet, funny, and at times just plain strange. Her illustration style, with its delicate lines, soft colors, and editorial quietness, lends itself beautifully to this project, and usually adds intrigue and mystery to the described scenario—often one of impossible romance.
Maira Kalman's blog for The New York Times, called And the Pursuit of Happiness, is based on moments from her own life. She visually narrates her adventures, quotidian moments, and grand realizations. These monthly posts are often funny, peculiar, personal, and inspiring, not unlike her illustrated book, The Principles of Uncertainty.
My new favorite blog, Letters of Note, features actual found letters, postcards, telegrams, faxes, and memos impeccably curated by Shaun Usher. These correspondences are selected because of their fascinating content and history, not for celebrities and gossip. There are letters from soldiers that reveal amazing stories (I've been brought to tears). A letter to Jesse Owens from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People pleads with him not to participate in the 1936 Olympic Games. It's amazing to get different accounts of history in this firsthand sort of way. It's also enthralling from a design perspective to see these artifacts uncropped and legible (a transcript also follows each one).
Last week we wrote about how Anthropologie catalogs feature a rich level of storytelling with their design, through photography and playful layouts. It's not unusual to experience a larger story reading a collection of separate posts on curated, single-author, or theme blogs, whether it's intentional or not. And if fashion catalogs can tell stories, most certainly illustration (and found-material) blogs can, too.

text: PLANO, TEXAS The Medical Examiner in Collin County says heart issues associated with heat exposure killed a football coach on the football field at Prestonwood Christian Academy Monday morning. The football equipment stood unused on the field at Prestonwood Christian Academy today. Just a day after the school's beloved assistant football coach, 55-year-old Wade McLain, passed out during the varsity team's first practice of the year. "It's just not right that something like that happened to such good people. There's so many rotten people walking around in this world and it's sad to lose the good ones," said Neighbor Judy McBroom. Neighbor, Judy McBroom, says Coach McLain was a strong family man who always offered to help her with yard work. http://www.the33tv.com/news/kdaf-prestonwood-football-coach-heat-death-story,0,6812816.story R.I.P.

RT @cdjcoulter: Fake Internet Content a High Concern but Appetite for Regulation Weakens: via @GlobeScan @bbcworldservice https://t.co/aEwy…
26 March 2013 – Circle of Blue, a team of award-winning journalists and researchers reporting on water and other worldwide resource issues, and the Institute for Globally Transformative Technologies (LIGTT) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a pioneer in bringing scientific solutions to critical global problems, have partnered to create Choke Point: Index, the first dynamic, open-source data and on-the-ground journalism project exploring the globally significant competition between water, food, and energy.
The world's demand for fresh water is growing so fast that, by 2030, scarcity could trigger food shortages, cripple energy production, upend economic development, and weaken political stability. A water supply crisis — in likelihood and impact — is one of the world's top risks, according to the World Economic Forum Global Risks Report 2013.
"Considering the severe local and catastrophic scenarios, we still have very little on which to base some of the most important decisions of our era," said J. Carl Ganter, managing director of Circle of Blue and vice chairman of the World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on Water Security.
Choke Point: Index will help leaders in business, policy, and development, as well as researchers and the public, to make faster, fact-based, strategic decisions. The project combines award-winning journalism with unprecedented collections of new and historically relevant data. By illustrating the cross-cutting context of water with food and energy, Choke Point: Index puts a face on complicated issues that affect every nation's economy, environment, and security.
This summer, Choke Point: Index focuses on the nexus of water, food and energy in the United States and Canada. The United States faces ongoing drought that, as it did in 2012, is likely to force power plant closures, cause crop failures, and threaten water-borne transport. In Canada, a thirsty energy sector seeks new water-monitoring capabilities and climate change requires rethinking assumptions of water abundance. The North American phase of Choke Point: Index will develop analytical models and dashboards to help spot real-time trends in these two countries, and the new technologies and processes that result can then be applied in India and other parts of the world.
"Solutions – and policy decisions — at the scale and speed that the world needs require the ability to understand the impact and immediacy of constantly changing global resource challenges, particularly water quality and scarcity," said Shashi Buluswar, executive director of LIGTT. "In order to respond effectively, we need to understand the complexities, the connections, and what's happening on the front lines. Choke Point: Index taps into the exciting new era of data exploration. Solutions and nimble innovations around the world are born from the data and stories, from the smallest communities to the largest urban centers."
Based on methodology developed by Circle of Blue and recognized by the Rockefeller Foundation in 2012, Choke Point: Index will combine:
Huge amounts of information exist, from satellite imaging to real-time river flows and on-the-ground stories of success and failure. However, the mountains of historical and streaming data are largely inaccessible, stored separately across public, private, and academic institutions around the world. Likewise, many are published online, but in formats that are difficult to use or not connected.
"Awareness has grown and many solutions are within reach," Ganter said. "Yet, we need information from the field, we need it faster, we need to share it more quickly, and we need to listen more closely to diverse voices. We have reached a rare moment in history when the need for more and better data has never been greater; when the tools to network, collaborate, and coordinate have never been better."
Choke Point: Index data tools will allow users to:
Among the principle data gathering and visualization tools, Choke Point: Index will use the latest technologies from Google, particularly Fusion Tables in Google Drive, to bring together and visualize large data sets that can be shared openly. Circle of Blue was among the first users of Fusion Tables.
Choke Point: Index is developed in sync with Global Choke Point, a comprehensive international reporting and convening program that explores the ramifications of resource scarcity around the world, produced by Circle of Blue and the Washington-based Wilson Center. Initial collaborators include the Wilson Center, GlobeScan, Qlikview, University of Alberta Water Initiative, and Visualizing.org, among others.
Circle of Blue brings the strength of trusted journalism by using its teams of leading journalists, photographers, data experts, field researchers, and designers who report from the front lines of the world's resource crises, with a core focus on water. In 2012, Circle of Blue received the Rockefeller Foundation's Centennial Innovation Award for its breakthrough, feedback-loop model that combines on-the-ground reporting, data collection, analysis, design, and convening. Circle of Blue's reportage is referenced widely. Circle of Blue, based in Traverse City, Mich., is a nonprofit affiliate of the Pacific Institute.

A Globescan survey finds that people place water highest on their list of environmental concerns, higher than climate change. At World Water Week in Stockholm, Circle of Blue interviews experts, including Rob Kerr, Vice President, Globescan; J. Carl Ganter, managing director, Circle of Blue; Glen Daigger, chief technology officer, CH2MHill; Ger Bergkamp, director general, World Water Council; and Paul Reiter, executive director, International Water Association.

Can migration decisions be affected by income taxation policies?
In this empirical paper we examine whether or not migration decisions can be affected by individual measures of regional policy. To shed light on the question, we study formation of expected earnings and effect of expected earnings on interregional migration decisions in Finland. We consider how this effect varies among individuals, especially among employees in medical and health care sector and in teaching sector. We generated expected earnings in migration and staying alternatives from an endogenous switching regression. These expected earnings were used as additional explanatory variables in a random parameter logit migration model. In the migration model individual can choose between three alternatives: (s)he can either (i) stay in current region, (ii) migrate to a peripheral region, or (iii) migrate to a growth-centre region. The random parameter logit model allows us to specify the impact of expected earning as a function of occupational dummies and other variables, including a random factor. Our estimation results on a one-percent random sample from the Finnish longitudinal census file indicate that a decision to move is influenced by expected earnings, but the impact is dependent, for example, on occupational and educational group and on region of origin.

In his annual State of the University address, Chapman president Jim Doti made three major announcements:
$275,000 has been given to Chapman to help launch the new Lloyd E. and Elisabeth H. Klein Family Foundation Community Engagement Program.
The Donald S. and Leonora N. Will Endowed Chair in Peace Studies has been established.
An additional piece of real estate is being purchased for the Harry and Diane Rinker Health Science campus in Irvine.
The Klein family foundation's gift of $275,000 is just the tip of the spear in the new engagement program, which will provide education community outreach to local children and eventually college scholarships. These scholarships will be for students who complete a pipeline program and ultimately attend Chapman. Each year, four students will become Klein Family Scholars and receive a $5,000 scholarship as part of their financial aid package.
The monetary gifts to the university will provide annual funding to help disadvantaged local children through Chapman programs that will bring arts and literacy education into the surrounding community.
Starting with local schools at the kindergarten through high school levels, the Klein family gift, given by Christine and Lon Cross, will support Chapman's Illuminacion Program, OHS Literacies Partnership, Choral Music Camp, and Reading Starts Early Home Library Program. Each of these programs provides outreach to the local Orange and Santa Ana communities.
"These programs are (normally) thinly funded … we have a lot more applicants than we can afford," Doti said. "But we know how valuable they are."
Christine Cross said the goal of the gift is to build a better Orange County, starting with giving children a chance to learn.
"This is really a gift from my parents," Cross said, smiling. Cross's parents, Lloyd and Elisabeth Klein, left a legacy in the family foundation for their children and grandchildren to be able to provide opportunities to those less fortunate.
The Donald S. and Leonora N. Will Endowed Chair in Peace Studies comes on the tail of the passing of professor Don Will, 65, who was a much beloved campus figure central to the Peace Studies program at Chapman.
Doti had visited Will in his last days and had asked him if there was a message he wanted relayed back to Chapman.
"He said, 'Tell them – don't forget peace studies'," Doti said. The endowed chair will provide funds for the enrichment of the peace studies program at Chapman.
The new Rinker campus is lat the intersection of Alton Parkway and Jeronimo Road. The university's real estate pieces at 9401 and 9501 Jeronimo Rd. will be joined by a third at 9701 Jeronimo.
The 9701 location is being bought to have on hand for future expansion. The plan for the four-story, 128,670-square-foot building is to lease it out for 5 years and hopefully make it the home for more new science programs.
"If you're going to dream big dreams, you have to have space," Doti said.
