Bringing in 2012
Now that my brain is semi-functioning again, I want to congratulate everyone for surviving the fall semester and especially to all the graduates.
The new year is quickly upon us, which means it's time to come up with the perfect New Year's resolutions. Here some things to remember when making resolutions and working to accomplish them:
- Don't focus only on what you need to work on. Reflect on what you have also excelled at this year. Sometimes maintaining those qualities is equally as hard as fixing bad ones. Maybe you made the dean's list; who says you can't try to make it again. Besides, who says you only have to have one.
- Be realistic. Everyone wants to win the lottery but realistically, that's not going to happen. Sorry to burst the bubble. Instead, focus on the things you have control over.
- Be specific. If the goal is specific, you'll be more likely to accomplish it. If you have a big goal, like losing 25 pounds, break it down to smaller, specific goals. This could be doing 30 minutes of a cardio workout twice a week for a month. Then build on that. Resolutions are on-going.
- It's a New Year's resolution meaning you have a year to accomplish it. Yes, that's 52 weeks or 366 days (because 2012 is leap year) or 8,784 hours. That DOESN'T mean two weeks into January. A year is a long time, but it will come quickly.
- It's ok if you break it every once in a while, just try to get back on track. You're accountable for what you do. You're the one that will get the most out of your goal. Make yourself shine!
I hope this motivates you to make resolutions and keep them. Best of luck to you and your New Year's resolutions!

Teen sensation Shiva Thapa (56kg) reaffirmed his status as the rising star of Indian boxing as he became the youngest pugilist from the country to clinch a gold medal at the Asian Championships in Amman, Jordan on Monday.
India, suspended internationally for nearly a year now due to administrative wrangling in the federation, rounded off the campaign with a gold, two silver and a bronze while fighting under the International Boxing Association's flag.
The silver medals came through L Devendro Singh (49kg) and Mandeep Jangra (69kg), while the bronze was bagged by Manoj Kumar (64kg).
The 19-year-old from Assam, who last year became the youngest Indian to qualify for the Olympics, defeated home favourite Obada Alkabeh on a split decision of 2-1 after fighting out a tactically superior bout.
The nimble-footed boxer, who made his Olympic debut in London last year, thus followed Suranjoy Singh (2009) and Rajkumar Sangwan (1994) into the history books as a rare Indian gold-medallist at the premier continental event.
"Shiva fought an excellent bout. He applied his brain and dominated all three rounds. The decision may have been split but he was clearly the better boxer among the two," national coach Gurbax Singh Sandhu said.
But it was disappointment for another rising star L Devendro Singh (49kg), who went down fighting to Kazakhstan's Temertas Zhussupov, the Strandja Memorial Tournament winner from Kazakhstan.
Devendro, also a London Olympian, lost on a split decision of 1-2.
"It was a very close bout. Devendro fought his heart out and even though he lost, I am very satisfied with his performance. To me he is shaping up to be an excellent boxer," said Sandhu.
"It is a brilliant performance considering the circumstances in Indian boxing . None of my boys disappointed me. Even the ones who lost, gave fine performances, I am very happy," he added.
Both these boxers are being managed by Anglian Medal-Hunt Company and Olympic Gold Quest.
Mandeep also ended up on the losing side after putting up a gallant fight to settle for silver. He lost to 2010 Asian Games gold-medallist Daniyar Yeleussinov of Kazakhstan.
"Mandeep is very young and inexperienced but he fought very well, showed a lot of heart and produced a brilliant performance. Everybody expected his to be a one-sided bout but Mandeep matched him blow for blow," said Sandhu.

You're black and living in the South--did you forget how to lie?"''-->-- '''Dr. Bledsoe'''The first and only completed novel by the critic and reviewer Ralph Ellison, published in 1952 and extremely popular ever since. The plot revolves around a young black man who is determined to rise to a position of influence, but is ignorant of the amount of lying and scheming that will take. As he bounces from one situation to another in search of power, both hears the words and witnesses the actions of various people and groups who're manipulating the racial divide.NotToBeConfusedWith '''''[[Literature/TheInvisibleMan The]]''' [[Literature/TheInvisibleMan Invisible Man]]'', a ScienceFiction novel by Creator/HGWells.----!!Tropes* TheAllConcealingI: We never do get the protagonist's name.

Also something of a {{Pollyanna}} and a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter, and has elements of {{The Fool}}, but he's more of a {{Butt Monkey}} than that makes him sound. We might as well call him an {{Idiot Hero}}, too.

I am a pulmonary/critical care physician and epidemiologist with a research interest in tuberculosis (TB) diagnostic evaluation and case finding in low-income settings. I am currently working in two main areas: identifying novel biomarkers for TB diagnosis and treatment monitoring, and translating evidence-based TB diagnostic strategies into routine clinical and public health practice using implementation science. Much of my research takes place in Uganda, where TB and HIV/AIDS are highly prevalent.
I teach a course at the Yale School of Public Health on implementation science, and co-direct a Fogarty research training program on TB and other pulmonary complications of HIV/AIDS in Uganda.
I also see patients at Yale-New Haven Hospital, where I attend in the Medical Intensive Care Unit and the Winchester TB Clinic. I enjoy caring for patients and families, and teaching medical students, residents, and fellows.

Why did it have to be so hard for me to find information about an airfilter for my cabin? I read the posts. I did not even know I had an airfilter in the cabin. Seeing the filter by my feet behind the brake and gas pedal is what showed me I had a filter. I dont think it is moldy. I live in Arizona and it is dry country here. Just wondering if others that live in Az have any problems with mold…

Good Doctor Episode 4
Good Doctor Episode 4 English Sub
Comments (137)
The operating room is a highly controlled environment, no hospital can afford to have a clumsy staff, more so a doctor. A clumsy person has no business being a doctor, there is no way he would pass the medical school. Being a doctor is not just about intelligence, you need to be calm, and should be able to inspire confidence not only to the patients but to the rest of the medical staff. The actor here is a good actor but the drama is too unrealistic, it can happen only in fantasy.
DisappointedI have no objection to Park being autistic or a doctor, I've read autistic persons who excel in their field, my criticism is about a doctor who is CLUMSY. The director can make him autistic but please don't make him clumsy.
ElvinaIf they only emphasize on his emotional immaturity and lacking in social skills, it would not entice the viewers to side with him. It;s a drama, they have to make the viewers touched and pity Si On. Since its a drama anyway no-one who really knows the medical field would give it much thought beside entertainment. and for the rest of the viewers they would enjoy the drama and the emotional faring.
IloveGoodDrama@Elvina. Everybody knows it's a drama, it's a fictional story about an autistic person who overcame obstacles despite his disability. However, over dramatizing to the extent that the screenplay is too unrealistic diminish the credibility of the show. Doctors may have bad days and may be rude at times, they are human after all but they are also professionals, overdoing these is not helping the story. Clumsiness in the operating room is totally unacceptable. Park can be clumsy elsewhere but not in the operating room.
zxcvi dont know whats the problem being it unrealistic. Foremost all dramas are unrealistic even true to life stories that are depicted in movies and dramas are exaggerated to the point of being unrealistic. Dont you know even news are often exaggerated how much more dramas are!
wow. i cant believe this. the song playing while Director is having dinner with his fiancée is from malaysian singer. the title of the song is siboh kitak nangis by Zee Avi. well, im a Malaysian. n so proud of it.
NadhirahSaya perasan tu jugak.. Bangga dengan Zee Avi :)
Queen_exoticwow ! proud to Malaysian :)
ReallyHaha , yup . Bangga tu , bangga kk . haha .
Elvinawell, actually she is a 2nd year fellow in pediatric surgery so she ranks higher than him. in real medical hierarchy, we get yelled and get scolded over small mistakes and in surgery departments such things are not rare. however, its a drama and tends to bring all the dramatic points of one aspect, so yeah.
zxcvactually i woke up in the middle of being operated and i saw something dropped from one of the stuff and saw the doctor yelling something and of course i could not understand anything coz everything was fuzzy
The obstacles against Park seem insurmountable, it's making hard to believe that he can survive. I hope the director will make it easier. Perhaps Park should gain the sympathy of the staff and make them like to help and protect him since lots of people in the administration want to get rid of him.
@ DramaFan. I agree, the director should not make Park too clumsy or overly childish because it diminish the credibility of the drama. I know an autistic child in the neighborhood. He is very smart, a straight A student but not clumsy at all. He survives in college because he looks normal and perfect but when you talk to him about a topic that is of interest to him, he will be like a little professor and lecture on that topic like eternity because he would not stop(clueless and would not take the hint that you want to leave). In the U.S. we have The Big Bang Theory, a tv series which is funny. The main character is Sheldon who is a budding scientist, very smart guy but emotionally immature. The drama is credible because it's focused on his social relationship. I think the director should focus less on Park's clumsiness and shortcomings but more on his smart to make this drama work.
eeeeeeeeshut up its a drama
dramaloverThere are many different cases for autism. The one that the director is trying to portray is Park having a really severe autism disorder...so that the audience could feel sympathy for him.
It's very dramatic, an autistic doctor, but I kind of wonder how Park gets through the medical school. Med school is not just about memorization, you cannot be clumsy in the lab or immature. I don't mean to offend the viewers who like this drama, I'm just expressing my humble opinion. I actually think it's interesting. I hope the director and writer will not make Park look so clumsy and very childish.
The main actors are all great, Joo Sang Wook's arrogant character reminded me of a interview a few day's ago I viewed on StarDate, KBS TV. JooWon & MoonChae were humble as always. JooSang actually kept "Boasting" bout' how good as well as good looking he is. He didn't only mention it once, He went on and on. It also reminded me about his "Attitude" a few times while he was cast on the qualification of men. With this "Attitude" He's not an actor, He's himself.
mitch808This ? really thinks that he is tuff shit, Probably thinks, "I really think that I am really bigger than my britches.
TeenathaFor god sake no-one is asking what you feel about joo sang wook.... If you don't like him then just keep quiet.. No one is forcing you to like him... Though i watch that i didnt even feel he was arrogant... Everyone has their own sense of humour.... Bdw what does that has got to do with anything when he is a good actor? About being arrogant and other stuff, to be honest everyone is arrogant in their own way amd it depends upon how people sees it... If you like someone the no matter how much arrogant he is you wont realise it and if u dont like someone then even if he dows some minor thing you will think he is arrogant and other stuff... Furthermore he is human... So being arrogant and showing his attitude its natural...
peejchillax! just respect each others opinion.. :)
kentaTo be honest interviews are all fake anyway. The actors/celebrities are told ahead of time what the questions will be so they can be prepared to give good answers. Don't think just cuz they appear humble or kind in an interview that they really are in person. I could care less if they're jerks or nice outside of tv/movies as long as they do their job and entertain people.
IonaI totally agree with teenatha and kenta... If they do their job properly thats all what it matters...Anyway no one is perfect in this world..
people who are saying that this drama is boring and not good bla bla bla! oh please this is a medical drama! when you want to watch a medical drama you have to make sure that you like these kinds of dramas! it's not a silly drama that only talks about love love and love!! it's a drama that concerns us human beings , this drama has lots of things to learn from! boring!! what is boring about! it's so interesting and keeps you looking forward every episode! not good! this is one of the best dramas ever ! oh please if you don't love it don't watch it ! i love this drama so much and lots of people think that too :D can't wait for next week :D
yuki11Mee too. I like it. It's realistic. :-)
Bomito be honest, i don't like medical stuffs. but i like the drama. the tension is no joke. the plot as well. though there are still something that seems not right on it. like, how could they act like a highschooler with the bully and scream thingy. but still a worth to watch drama!
YutaEveryone has their own taste man... Though i like this drama a lot i am saying this....If you like this drama then it doesnt mean everyone has to like it.... So no offence
mitch808Tina, they succeed, You got emotional. That is what entertainment is all about.
ExiledAlphaI agree, fighting over authority when they should be more worried about saving people...makes me sick. Doctors are supposed to save lives, not act like they are in a historical drama full of power struggles...
RosaBut guys this is what real world is about... Everything is money and politics... People are only trying to make other fall and seriously there are only few people who think about other before them....
cezcaim totally agree with you , all the character so tension in a word i can really express , soo , depressed to watch it , and the episode is still so early with this kind of scene ! , i admit i cried so far now for every episode , its because i like how the lead charachter act ..i think the director should release the tension a little bit ..
tashahmm... Hi5 I am also watching this drama because of him.. hehe ^^ I always fall for him whenever I watch his drama... not to forget his killer smile lol... Though his character is cold in this drama, it really suits him.. it looks too real... NO idea whether his acting is too good or is it because i like him so i found his acting good..
YouknowJuWon is better !
twklilstarCan I like this post? ^_^
ReallyAhaha , I like your comment . Keep watching this drama and support Juwon !
Nitayou ask for another drama to watch, after watching this one you should try Time between dog and wolf. It is the best action drama/love drama to me.
ReallyTime between dog and wolf ? the actor ?
peejyou can also try doctor x a japanese drama.. thou it only have 8 episodes but it worth a try.. also try the lie to me (American Series). :)
Shimsthanks for your recomendation. i will try to watch hehehe :D

U.S. & Brazil Ethanol Outlook: 2012-2022
U.S. and Brazil account for over 80% of global ethanol production and, as such, are the drivers of world ethanol trade. In Hart Energy's inaugural study exploring this industry in the U.S. and Brazil, Renewable Ethanol: Navigating the Rapids, 2011-2015, key market and policy issues that existed as of early 2011 were addressed. However, there have been major developments over the last year, including the expiration of the U.S. blender's credit and tariff and record levels of U.S. ethanol exports in the face of muted Brazilian exports.
There are numerous factors that will drive the ethanol industry and markets in the U.S. and Brazil over the next decade. These factors will be examined in depth in the new study U.S. & Brazil Ethanol Outlook, 2012-2022.
Click here to purchase this report from the Hart Energy Store.
Major Issues Addressed in the Analysis
- Blend Wall and E15 Adoption in the U.S.
- California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS)
- Outlook for Cellulosic Ethanol
- U.S. Ethanol Supply/Demand Balance Through 2022
- Status and Outlook for Brazilian Ethanol

In this hypothetical case, after several months, a search failed to locate a missing person matching this description. Therefore, the medical examiner and the detectives returned to the forensic anthropologist to request that a facial reproduction be attempted.
Two approaches are available to an anthropologist in reconstructing facial appearance during life. First, the anthropologist could work with a composite artist experienced in rendering sketches based on information supplied by eyewitnesses. Or, the anthropologist could call in a specialist in three-dimensional facial reproduction, a technique in which the head is constructed in clay directly over the skull and mandible or over good casts of them. Because of limited funds, and because an experienced composite artist is available on staff, the forensic anthropologist and artist worked together to produce a drawing of the person represented by the skeletal remains. This drawing was then made available to the public via the local media.
Shortly thereafter, two unrelated men who had seen the image on television came forward because they thought that it might be a relative. Medical and dental records for both individuals could not be located, but facial photographs taken within the last 2 years were available.
Using new techniques of photographic superimposition and comparison, the forensic anthropologist excluded one of the individuals outright. However, frontal photoimages of the second individual taken 3 years before death showed the individual was treated for facial injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. The configuration of the frontal sinuses on the photoimages matched exactly the photoimages of the recovered skull, thereby positively identifying the victim.
Value Of Forensic Anthropology
A forensic anthropologist makes significant contributions to an investigation. The greatest of these could well be the anthropologist's intensive training and experience in distinguishing between human and nonhuman remains, determining age at death, racial affiliation, sex, stature, elapsed time since death, skeletal trauma, post-mortem damage and alteration of the skeleton, and establishing positive identification based on skeletal and dental evidence. Such information can be obtained from complete bodies or those partially destroyed by burning, air crashes, intentional mutilation and dismemberment, explosions, or other mass disasters. In fact, a forensic anthropologist is now an integral member of most mass disaster teams.
Through their anthropological training, most forensic anthropologists have knowledge of excavation techniques and mapping that are invaluable in recovering evidence. Consequently, the forensic anthropologist should participate in the investigation of the crime scene and, especially, in the recovery of human skeletal remains.
Many forensic anthropologists offer their services to law enforcement agencies, coroners, and medical examiners. However, if a law enforcement agency does not have access to a forensic anthropologist, experienced experts can be found in many of the larger universities, in anthropology museums throughout the United States, and in some medical examiner's offices. It should be noted, however, that not all physical anthropologists are qualified to practice forensic anthropology. A list of board certified forensic anthropologists can be obtained from the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. Forensic anthropologists have much to contribute to law enforcement and would welcome the opportunity to assist in the successful resolution of an investigation.

British anti-terrorist police investigating the recent discovery of the deadly poison ricin in London yesterday dramatically raided a nearby mosque linked to firebrand anti-Western cleric, Abu Hamza al-Masri.
Police closed streets in the north London suburb of Finsbury Park in the early hours of the morning and arrested seven people as part of their ricin investigation.
Witnesses said about 50 police vehicles and two helicopters, were used in the raid, the most dramatic in Britain since the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States.
Police dressed in riot gear swarmed out of the vehicles and used ladders to climb into the mosque's windows and battering rams to break down doors, witnesses said.
Scotland Yard confirmed the raid was linked to the ricin discovery in nearby Wood Green on January 5, although initial investigations at the mosque had not discovered any traces of the deadly chemical.
It was unclear last night whether Mr Hamza was directly linked to the raid on the mosque, which has become a meeting place for Britain's radicalised young Muslims.
Mr Hamza faces a ban from preaching at the mosque for making "inflammatory and highly political" speeches, although he has promised to defy any attempt to silence him.
The Home Secretary, David Blunkett, said: "We must take firm action to investigate and, if necessary, deal with any threat to public safety without fear or favour."
Police have arrested a number of suspected terrorists, mostly from north Africa, in recent weeks following raids on properties in London, Bournemouth and Manchester.
Prayer services were held across the country for special branch officer Stephen Oake who was stabbed to death during the raid in Manchester last week.
The head of the Metropolitan Police, Sir John Stevens, said at the weekend that a number of suspected terrorists linked to al-Qaeda were being watched in Britain and "a number" still had to be arrested.
"What [Osama] bin Laden and others have done is actually lock into established terrorists groups to see if they can use their potential," Sir John said.
The raid comes as a London-based Arabic newspaper, Asharq Al-Aswat, published a statement allegedly written by bin Laden in which he urges Muslims to stop fighting each other and unite against the "Crusader coalition" that is attacking the Islamic world.
The newspaper published excerpts of a 26-page statement that it claims was written and signed by bin Laden.
The journalist who wrote the article, Mohamed el-Shaf'aie, said the statement was mailed to the paper from an Islamic source in London with close links to a Pakistan-based Islamic research centre with ties to al-Qaeda.
The statement attributed to bin Laden says: "The current situation Muslims are living in requires a deployment of all efforts to fight the Islamic battle against the Crusader coalition, which has revealed its real, evil intentions.
"Their target now is Islam and Muslims and not only the [Middle East] region."
The letter did not mention any country, but earlier statements attributed to bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders have accused the United States and Israel of launching a religious crusade against the Muslim world.

Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Tacos Taste Like Broken Dreams
Doritos Loco Taco
E. Courtland
We were rooting for Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Taco. Honestly we were. We talked it up for weeks in total earnest and even posted a countdown on our Facebook page. Because if somebody gave a green light to a taco shell made out of Nacho Cheese Doritos, an idea we're pretty sure we came up with on the playground in third grade, then what does it mean for the rest of our insane schoolyard fantasies? It means there will be a hoverboard.
But the Doritos Locos Taco is a sham. It is not, as they claim, "a Taco Supreme made with premium seasoned beef, crisp lettuce, diced juicy red ripe tomatoes, real cheddar cheese, topped with cool reduced-fat sour cream, in a shell made from Nacho Cheese Doritos Chips," but merely a Taco Supreme in a shell coated with Doritos Nacho Cheese.
To be fair, it has been a couple of months since we last ate Doritos, and we were probably blitzed when we did. So perhaps we misjudged, and the resemblance to a regular Taco Bell taco shell is purely coincidental. If that's the case then we sincerely apologize. The Doritos Loco Taco is certainly no worse than the traditional Taco Supreme, only it costs $.41 more and tastes ever so slightly of broken dreams.

This semester I'm teaching a course with two other instructors. It is a unique and interesting course blending all of the fine arts into a collection of humanities credits through multiple instructors. I just recently taught during our first class period. As with most first days it was spent on getting to know one another, getting familiar with the syllabus, and laying out the groundrules for the semester. Pretty standard stuff. One of the difficult things for me, as an instructor, was sharing the floor with other people. My teaching style is one based on my own personality creating a unique atmosphere that remains largely unchanged (there are pretty solid borders) throughout each day (and the entire semester). My own difficulites were nothing compared to what the students must have been going through.
I'll admit it: I can't imagine taking a class from three instructors. I've never taken one and I can't really imagine it from the students' perspectives. They will have a challenging task before them: Three different teachings styles, three similar (but somewhat different) expectations for classwork, and ultimately three different expectations for what is important to remember for the test. Yikes! While this seems difficult (and it require mental shifts on the students' parts) the instructors are certainly aware of these difficulties.
There is this crazy thing about instructors: they perceive many of the issues in the courses they teach. Not all of course (no one is perfect) but many. One of the benefits of having three instructors is having three people realizing the issues and doing their best to diminish the damaging effects. Our students will receive study guides, handouts, and other materials to help them keep the various expectations close at hand (and always in mind). The arts are a wonderful subject. Three teachers somewhat mimics the expectations of art: multiple perspectives. Overall this is a benefit. I hope the students realize that by semester's end.

PHOENIX — A Valley gym donated $1,000 to the 100 Club of Arizona last week.
The gym decided to make the donation after the death of Phoenix Police Detective John Hobbs, who was killed in a shootout.
The donation was part of a promotion by Planet Fitness, who is working towards five million members nationwide. One gym member won $1,000 and a free membership for one year.
The 100 Club of Arizona provides financial assistance and other aid to the families of first responders who are killed on the job.

It was reported in April 2013, by a study carried out by Workplace Employment Relations Board that there has been a dramatic rise in the use of zero-hours contracts for UK workers. Zero hours contracts are an agreement made by the employer and employee that no fixed or guaranteed weekly hours will be worked, but the working week is on a very ad hoc basis. Work is therefore dictated by the business needs and if the employee is not available they can refuse the period of work offered.
There are many different sectors who use zero hours contracts, and employers who may not previously have used this type of contract or done so only sporadically, are doing so now, and more frequently due to the economic climate, meaning that there are more peaks and troughs in work load.
Some employers also believe that these type of contracts are beneficial for employees who have to constantly juggle a home and work life balance so feel that it is a contract which works fairly for both parties. It is thought that they work particularly well for part time workers who may wish to have a second job on a zero hours basis so that they can do extra hours to increase their income as and when they need to.
Of course it can be easy to see the advantages of a zero hours contract and it is rare that our Advice Line has calls regarding any complaints of this type of contract (apart from how to calculate holiday pay!). However recently Labour MP's and trade unions have raised concerns that zero hour contracts are exploitative and that they can deprive workers of their rights. Employees on zero hour contracts do not necessary accrue continuous service so are unlikely to attain the service needed to bring a claim at Tribunal for unfair dismissal. The trade union also state that some spurious employers use zero hours contracts as opposed to agency workers in order to avoid the Agency Workers Regulations recently imposed.
The Shadow Health Secretary, Andy Burnham, has stated and pledged that Labour intend to pursue the issue of zero hour contracts and to ban the use of them. Whether or not this will occur is a different matter and it would be envisaged that many employers and employers groups would strongly oppose this ban as in the majority of cases, if used fairly and equitably, zero hours contracts appear to work for both parties.

Support and Rehabilitation Protocol for Non Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients in Complete Remission After Chemotherapy

- How to Read a Study Record
Many breast cancer patients (BCP) will gain weight during chemotherapy and about 10% of them are able to find back to their initial weight after all treatments are finished. Other studies have shown that overweight at diagnosis was associated to a twice higher risk of relapse while a weight gain during treatments increased by 30% to 50% the risk of relapse. In western countries, 75% of BCP have insufficient physical activity. Dietary and activity programs seem to be able to significantly reduce the mortality risk after breast cancer.
The investigators performed a prospective randomized trial consisting in dietary counseling, physical training and physiotherapy in hydrothermal centers. Intervention were delivered in small group session lasting 12 days. SPA cares were offered to patients. Patients in the control group also received dietary counseling given by a dietetician inside anticancer hospital, and were asked to perform more physical activities. Main endpoints of the trial addressed quality of life (SF36) one year after inclusion, weight reduction, anxiety/depression (HAD), sleep quality and long term compliance to instructions. An economic study was associated to the protocol, for volunteers only.

International Aero Engines (IAE) will continue to build V2500 turbofans well beyond the middle of the next decade and production rates will continue to climb, according to president and CEO Ian Aitken.
IAE's future was recently recalibrated by the announcement last year that Rolls-Royce would sell its equity and program shares to fellow consortium shareholder Pratt & Whitney for $1.5 billion. This was as part of a restructuring that would see the two companies enter a new partnership to develop an engine to power a future midsize aircraft.
Aitken said IAE established a particularly strong presence in the Asia Pacific region after having the foresight early on to place particular emphasis on this market. Forty-five percent of all the engines produced and sold by IAE have gone or will go to the region, compared with 30 percent to the Americas and 25 percent to Europe.
Well positioned in the ever-vital China market, IAE counts 17 operators in the People's Republic, supported by 11 field offices, training and overhaul facilities and a joint-venture overhaul and repair facility with MTU Aero Engines. It also supports the Airbus A320 final assembly line in Tianjin. Next, IAE plans to open a technical training center in Guangzhou, where it has scheduled first classes to start this spring.
Here at the show, IAE is to announce that it has signed a $300 million deal with China's ICBC Financial Leasing Co. to supply V2500 engines for its fleet of 15 new A320 series narrowbodies. ICBC expects deliveries to start in January 2013 and continue into 2015.
The V2500 competes directly with CFM International's CFM56 engine for the A320's propulsion requirement. In January the program reached a milestone when IAE delivered the 5,000th V2500, under the wing of SilkAir A320, at a ceremony at one of its assembly plants in Dahlewitz, Germany.
Singapore's SilkAir counts as one of 74 customers in Asia, out of a total of some 200 worldwide. Of the some 500 engines the company sold last year, 63 percent are destined for customers in the Asia Pacific region, while roughly 50 percent of the 187 IAE-powered aircraft delivered last year went to Asia Pacific operators.
IAE's backlog of around 2,000 engines accounts for more than four years of production as the company fast approaches an annual rate of 500 engines. Last year IAE built 430 V2500s and this year it plans to produce 470, said Aitken.
Notwithstanding the coming–in four or five years–of the A320neo and 737 MAX, neither of which will use its engines, IAE projects a market for between 700 and 900 airplanes that would require an engine in the V2500's class. "We'd like 50 percent of that," said Aitken. This year alone, IAE expects operators will choose engines for between 300 and 450 aircraft already selected, he added.
Power by the Hour
Customers in the Asia Pacific that are signed on to IAE's fleet-hour agreement include China Eastern, China Southern and Jetstar. "The reason I think they like it is they know what the pricing is going to be and what revenue they're going to have to give up per hour, so they can plan better," Aitken. "And they recognize that the engine manufacturer's requirements are to keep the engines on wing as long as possible and make sure that the reliability is good, and so all our interests are aligned to make sure that happens."
Three versions of the V2500–the A1, A5 and D5–together have now flown more than 100 million hours since certification in 1988. The so-called A engine has powered the A320, while the D variant served as the side-mount installation on the McDonnell Douglas MD-90. Plans call for the newest version of the engine–the E5–to power the new KC-390 tanker/cargo aircraft under development by Embraer, marking the V2500's first military application and ensuring its market relevance well into the future.

It's not easy to please me
Wednesdays are a bit tricky really,
On one hand, they are not Mondays, and as such not really that chaotic and filled with workstress. At the same time they are not the end of the week and relaxation neither.
Currently, David has found himself working on an unusual job. It's a cover, which is not something unusual, but it is also contemporary. This is both exiting and challenging at the same time since almost all illustrations we have done so far have either been Sci-fi or Fantasy. For some more info on this head over to this place:
The illustration is seing completion this week and then we will see how long it takes before we can display it.
One of the things that has been asked alot is to show progress and/or doing tutorials.
Whilst this is something great and definately something worth doing, there are such a great number of tutorials out there that we first need to sit down and consider what we want to achieve with a tutorial.
The first one will most likely be a walkthrough rather then an actual tutorial.
David has a set idea on how to work, but usually all of this is just tossed out the window once the work begins. In reality what happends is normally what works. Sometimes it works to paint blobs of colour and go from there, sometimes a refined pencilsketch is the best and sometimes it is the usage of photo's for interesting textures.
So look out for next wednesday when a little walkthrough will be posted of a personal piece in it's beginning stages.
In the meanwhile, here are some WiP's of current paintings and a sketch that was made at FACTS but that we didn't have any photos of ourself. Courtesy of Alexjodo's blog. Follow the link below.

The journalist had been gathering material for a BBC documentary while working as a probationary constable for Greater Manchester Police.
The reporter, who was working in the force's Stockport Division, was arrested on Friday on suspicion of obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception. He was released on bail on Saturday afternoon.
But the BBC has said any pay he had received had been kept in a separate account and was to be returned to the force at the end of the investigation.
The journalist, believed to be in his 20s, had undergone training and had been "operational", working as a probationary constable for about a month.
'Unethical journalism'
In doing so, Greater Manchester Police claimed he had broken an oath he had taken on joining the force and may have breached people's human rights.
Chief Constable Michael Todd said: "If true, we deplore this tactic, which would appear to be an outrageous waste of public funds used to train, equip and pay this individual.
"It has also deprived a genuine recruit of the opportunity to join the service."
A spokeswoman added: "Greater Manchester Police is accountable at all times to the public we serve and welcomes legitimate scrutiny.
"But this behaviour, if true, is reprehensible and only serves to undermine the work of the police service.
"The journalist is also in breach of an oath of attestation that he made in becoming a police constable as he has failed to act with integrity.
In condoning this act of unethical journalism, the media organisation may well have breached people's human rights."
But the BBC has defended the documentary makers' decision to put an undercover reporter through the police recruitment process.
A spokeswoman for the corporation said: "The BBC has spent several months investigating allegations of institutional racism within the Greater Manchester Police. We believe this to be a matter of significant public interest.
"We believed the only way to test the allegations was by a BBC journalist going undercover to be a part of the recruitment process, to see what happens when a recruit joins the force, is instructed at the training school, and is then placed on the force.
"That is the investigation that was under way. Monies paid by the police to our reporter have always been kept in a separate account and always with the intention of being returned to the Greater Manchester Police."

Virginia native rapper Pusha T is finally here with his long awaited debut studio album, My Name Is My Name.
Pusha T first emerged on to the rap scene with his brother Malice, in the rap duo Clipse, which has dropped several great albums including the underground classic, Hell Hath No Fury in 2004. After the duo went on hiatus in 2009, Pusha went on to start his solo career with multiple mixtapes before being signed to Kanye West's label G.O.O.D. Music, and dropping two acclaimed and praised verses on the classic Kanye album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in 2010.
Now, in 2013, after several delays, Pusha finally is here with his debut. With a minimal 12 tracks, production from West and longtime producer Pharrell Williams, along with features from Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, Chris Brown and Re-Up Gang Records partner Ab-Liva.
The album starts off in fantastic fashion with the opener "King Push", produced by West and newcomer Sebastian Sartor (Lars Ulrich's son). The beat is an excellent futuristic trap flavored banger, with classic Pusha T lyricism, stating that he does not and will not sing hooks and instead rap only about street life, which makes it a powerful start to the album.
The single "Numbers On The Board" follows after, which is a vintage sounding Clipse beat that is absolutely perfect for Pusha T, who flows over the track with ease. The great tracks continue with the "Sweet Serenade" which includes a surprisingly dark hook from Chris Brown, and "Suicide" which once again has a classic Clipse feel to it, produced by none other than Pharrell Williams.
The middle of the albums take a big hit in the wrong direction for Pusha, with tracks like "40 Acres", which includes an incredibly underwhelming hook from R&B singer The Dream, the uninspiring pop song No Regrets, and the oddball that is love song "Let Me Love You" which has Pusha doing his best impersonation of Harlem rapper Malice, yet, not having him featured on the track.
The worst track on the album follows these duds, "Who I Am" which features 2 Chainz and Big Sean. It isn't surprising to see these commercial rappers on the track, since Pusha is label mates with them, but the beat is lazy, 2 Chainz delivers a typical 2 Chainz verse and Big Sean's verse is a contender for one of the worst verses of the year.
The last 3 tracks thankfully stop the series of bad tracks, with "Nosetalgia" featuring Kendrick Lamar. Over a grimy Knottz beat, Pusha and Kendrick both deliver fantastic verses, with stellar wordplay. A true highlight of the album. "Pain" featuring Future was a pleasant surprise, with a fantastic, tribal sounding beat from Kanye West, and the closer "S.N.I.T.C.H." is a great way to end the album, with another Clipse reminiscent beat, once again brought to you from Pharrell Williams, with superb storytelling lyrics.
Overall, Pusha T has delivered a solid debut, mixing the classic Clipse sound that fans and hip-hop lovers wanted, along with the expected commercial feel that has sadly become necessary in order for an album to be released in the year 2013.
If Pusha had trimmed down the weaker tracks, it would have been much appreciative, but nonetheless, My Name Is My Name is a very entertaining listen for those who want to hear aggressive and smart lyricism, as well as fantastic production.

I recently came across this sign (below) on the Tokyo subway urging women not to apply their make up on the trains.
Women (I have yet to see a man) applying their cosmetics on trains is a common sight in railway carriages up and down the country. It really does prove how smooth the ride is.
The Japanese cosmetics market is huge - the world's second largest after the US - with annual sales well over US$4 billion. The giants of the Japanese cosmetics industry, Kanebo, Shiseido and Kose are also engaged in a massive expansion drive in the rest of Asia, especially in China and Thailand.

How low can you go?
Gwyneth Paltrow stole the show at the National Movie Awards on Wednesday when she hit the stage to present the Special Recognition Award in a plunging black Roksanda Ilincic dress that showed off her slim figure.
The 38-year-old actress paired her jaw-dropping look with straight hair and towering nude heels.
The daring navel-grazing design is reminiscent of the sexy black deep V-neck jumpsuit she wore at this year's Grammy Awards during her performance with Cee Lo Green.
PHOTOS: Stars in super sexy dresses
Paltrow's risque wardrobe isn't the only thing causing a stir. In her latest blog post on her healthy-living website GOOP.com, she boasts about growing an impressive crop of herbs in her garden, including salvia.
Salvia, in its hallucinogenic form (known as salvia divinorum), made headlines last December when a video was leaked to TMZ, showing teen queen Miley Cyrus smoking the herb out of a bong. But salvia officinalis is known as common sage and is used for cooking.

Roy and G Hill outplayed by their opponent AGAIN!!!!
We are a TO machine because our wings handle the ball too much. With a true point guard this could be minimized.
I called it
If we win vs the Heat wed. everyone will say how we are going to sweep the playoffs. Follow that up with a loss and we will lose in the first round. Follow that up with a win and it wasn't by enough points, but we may make the second round now. Follow that with a blow out and we are going to sweep the playoffs again. Sometimes, you just got to hold back that quick and rash things that come to your head. Emotion and being in the moment are good at times and bad at others.
This team is just soft
We match up against Miami well because Miami is somewhat soft as well

Wow. I want to scream right now and hit things cause I'm so pissed with how rotten this team looks offensively. The stupid turnovers and the horrid shooting. Congrats on pissing on your last win against the Heat. Idiots.
More great bench play from our guys.
With a true point guard, it would be the same exact thing.
Apparently you didn't watch that basketball game Wednesday night
The Pacers beat the Wizards by 20 or more points in their two previous match-ups this season. Tonight, they'll probably lose by 20+.
This dumb, immature bunch thinks they guaranteed home court through the EC Finals with Wednesday's win. Hell, they won't beat Brooklyn, Chicago or Toronto if the coach doesn't take charge of some egos.
I really don't see us coming back in this one anymore.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Vogel knows the formula for success but he can't get the team to play that way consistently. We need to stop jacking up perimeter shots as our first option, get the ball into the paint and play from the inside out. Hibbert has had 4 shots tonight, that's ridiculous.
The team plays right for one or two games and then reverts right back to the Lance and Paul show. The Lance and Paul show really, really sucks.
You did? Who said we were going to sweep following the Miami win? People were excited, but don't hurt your hand patting yourself on the back for something you didn't call.
So now what's the record since the Granger trade?
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.

I am now trying to cover cakes and pipe with buttercream. I am experiened with fondant, but now want to have a go using b/c.
Can anyone recommend a really good book or dvd on this? I was piping yesterday and had a lot of little air bubbles. Would really like to know how to get it smooth looking.
Thanks for any help
Watch Tonedna1 videos on youtube. Sounds like you are getting to much air in your butter cream. I notice when I make a small batch and the ingredients don't cover the beater it tends to get more air bubbles. When I double my batch and the bull is full I don't get the air bubbles in my frosting. She has a lot of wonderful videos to watch for free.
Thanks very much, will check it out.

It was a small but warm-hearted gathering Wednesday at Woodland United Methodist Church, with lawyers, judges and others in the legal profession there to celebrate Law Day.
First implemented in the late 1950s, Law Day has been held nationally every May 1 ever since. It is, as Woodland lawyer David Janes put it, "a day to remind people that this is a country founded on justice."
Locally, the lunchtime event was put together by the Yolo County Bar Association, a 120-member group whose current president is Chief Deputy Public Defender Allison Zuvela.
"I really appreciate everyone coming, especially on such short notice," she told the gathering as they sat down to tri-tip, chicken, mixed greens and dinner rolls.
Last year's event was quite a bit larger, with a speech by California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye. This time, things were "a little more homey," Zuvela said.
But she and others present agreed that increased communication and trust among those practicing law makes the process more efficient and more just.
Family law attorney Yasmin Spiegel gave an example: "Whenever I have a client in my office and I know the other lawyer, I can actually call that person up" and possibly avoid arbitration before a judge altogether, she said.
Zuvela followed up on the idea during remarks to the group, saying she hopes county bar members would come up with ideas to make it "a better, more cohesive community."
Yolo County Counsel Robyn Drivon agreed, saying, "The more we know each other ... the better the whole system works."
Zuvela said she had hoped to present a special "Liberty Bell Award" Wednesday to Kathryn Turner, who runs the Yolo County Law Library.
"We wanted to give it to her," she said, holding up a plaque. "She does so much for so many people."
In fact, Turner had even organized the Law Day event at United Methodist.
But "she is on a plane to France," Zuvela said.

Man arrested in Carson City on meth and DUI counts
August 26, 2013
A 29-year-old Carson City man was arrested on felony drug and other counts early Sunday at Telegraph and Curry streets.
According to a Carson City Sheriff's Office arrest report:
A deputy pulled Randy Paul Warstler over shortly after 1 a.m. after receiving a report of a drunken driver in a vehicle with stolen plates. Warstler ran from the vehicle; the deputy caught up with him in the 300 block of North Nevada Street and took him back to the vehicle.
Warstler failed field sobriety tests, and the deputy learned that his driver's license was revoked, that he'd been convicted of DUI in 2010 and that the plates had been reported stolen out of Fallon.
The deputy found bags in the vehicle's center console that contained two glass pipes, a substance that appeared to be methamphetamine, a leafy substance that appeared to be marijuana, a metal spoon with white residue on it and numerous smaller plastic bags.
Warstler was arrested on suspicion of felony possession of a controlled substance, possession of stolen property worth less than $250, DUI-second offense, obstructing a police officer, driving with a revoked license, possession of drug paraphernalia, no proof of insurance and suspended registration. Bail was set at $2,500.

Warstler remained in custody Monday afternoon at the Carson City Jail.
