TAGLIAFERRO, Zulay A and BRACAMONTE, Giannina. Pacientes atendidos en un Centro Toxicológico de VenezuelaPatients attended at a Venezuelan Toxicology Centre. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2010, vol.12, n.2, pp.220-227. ISSN 0124-0064. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0124-00642010000200005.
Objective Characterising patients attended at a toxicological centre in the central western area of Venezuela (the state of Lara). Methods This was a descriptive/cross-sectional study. The population consisted of 1,938 patients who registered during 2006 and 2007; data was collected from the Centre's data collection forms. Results 57.4 % of the patients recorded on the toxicological centre's forms during 2006 and 2007 consulted during 2006. The patients' average age was 19 during 2006 (including adults and teenagers) and 20 during 2007. Males most often attended the centre (55.4 %). The most common cause for consultation was poisoning from snake bite, more than 40 % of the cases being caused by Bothrops. Pesticide intoxication was the second cause for male consultation (20.6 %); female medication poisoning accounted for 26.6 %. Iribarren County had the highest consultation rate in the State of Lara (47.8 % of cases). 95 patients (4.9 %) came from neighbouring States (Portuguesa and Yaracuy) during the two years this study lasted. Conclusions It is hoped that this study will lead to special education and attention programmes for the most commonly diagnosed pathologies being implemented with greater frequency, as well as corrective action being taken regarding individual and collective risk in the state of Lara's different geographical areas.
Keywords : Poisoning; toxicology; poison control centre.

LONDON (Aug. 22)
A multi-power plan for large-scale resettlement of Jewish refugees, involving the cooperation of Germany and the progressive internationalization of African colonies, was put forward today by Sir Arnold Wilson, anti-Zionist Conservative M.R., in a letter published by the New Statesman and Nation.
Sir Arnold suggested that the British Government sponsor the plan as part of a policy embracing three offers to Germany in the event the latter was prepared to abandon force as a means of attaining her ends.
The offers, Sir Arnold said, should be directed toward a solution of Germany's three main problems, namely, Jewish problem, "Lebensraum" and inferiority complex. He suggested that the declaration of policy, offering solution of Germany's and Italy's economic positions and progressive internationalization of African colonies, should contain as its first point the announcement that Britain is prepared in collaboration with Germany and other powers to initiate and to sponsor a scheme of Jewish settlement on a large scale, beginning with British Guiana.

The Whisperer in Darkness
Draevek Norn
Innkeeper at The Slaughtered Lamb
A half-elf, just under 6ft tall. Physically, his elven qualities are played down in comparison to his human aspects, his hair, though a light, elvish brown, is cut short and a well trimmed goatee adorns his chin, a gift from his human father. He is well built, appearing to be more strong than sleek, his arm muscles visible despite the long sleeved shirt he wears. A long scar runs down the left side of his face, narrowly missing his eye.
A product of a violent raid on a human village; Draevek's mother was raped by an Elven assailant who broke into her home and discovered her cowering in a cupboard. As a result of this, Draevek cannot abide a man who raises his fist to a woman, and spent his early years with a deep hatred for Elves.
During his early teens, Draevek's mother died and he left their settlement to wander the Earth. It was during the next fifteen years of adventuring that he befriended an Elf who aided him after a bear attack. It was through this friendship that he learned to tolerate and then even respect the Elven people, most of whom. he discovered, were friendly towards humans.
Eventually the pair wound up in Raylack and Draevek quickly fell in love with the village and the surrounding area. He decided to settle down there, at least for a while, but his Elven friend continued on, wishing to explore more of the world. Draevek got a job at the local inn, The Slaughtered Lamb, and after almost a decade of employment there became its innkeeper, a role he has retained to this day.

The MY Andaman Explorer was built as the MV Atlantic Guard in 1963 in Norway as a Norwegian coast guard vessel. She is 61 metres long with her original Rolls Royce engines. She retired from coast guard duties in 1998 and was acquired by Doctor Bogazzi, an Italian oligarch whose family owns the Carrara marble quarries. Dr Bogazzi lavished many a million on the ship, now renamed the MY Marina, completely refitting her with eleven very generous suites and a jacuzzi on deck. Much of the ship is floored with Carrara marble. In recent times she has belonged to a powerful shipping family based in Dubai who maintained the ship to a very high standard. She is now undergoing redecoration in Thailand so the photos of the interiors shown here are as she is now and not as she will be once...

House prices leapt by 10.2% year-on-year in July marking the strongest annual upswing seen since 2007, Halifax has reported.
The increase pushed average property values to £186,322, with a 1.4% uplift also recorded month-on-month, reversing a 0.4% monthly dip in June.
The annual increase in house prices is the strongest seen since a 10.7% rise was recorded in September 2007 and the latest figures also mark the first time since then that year-on-year house price growth has hit double digits.
Halifax said that month-on-month price changes can often be volatile and quarterly movements in prices tend to give a better indication of the underlying trend in the market.
On a quarterly basis, house prices in the three months to July were 3.6% higher than in the three months to April, representing the biggest quarterly uplift since December 2006.
Stephen Noakes, mortgages director at Halifax, said: "While supply remains low, housing demand continues to be supported by a continuing economic recovery, growth in employment, improving consumer confidence and low mortgage rates."
Halifax's figures also reveal that average house prices are now more than five times wages for the first time since summer 2008.
In a sign that borrowers are stretching their finances more to own their home, the price-to-earnings ratio edged up to 5.02 in July, from 4.96 in June.
The last time that property values were as much as five times average earnings was July 2008 and the last time the ratio was higher than it is now was June 2008, when it reached 5.09.
Halifax uses average earnings for men working full-time to calculate the ratio for house prices relative to average wages.
Mr Noakes said that earnings growth "is still lagging behind consumer price inflation".
House prices have continued to record strong increases despite some signs that the pace of the housing market recovery has been slowing down slightly since stricter mortgage lending rules came into force at the end of April.
The Mortgage Market Review (MMR) rules force lenders to ask applicants more detailed questions about their spending habits to check whether they could truly afford their repayments. Lenders also have to apply "stress tests" to make sure a borrower could comfortably cope as and when interest rates rise.
A separate house price report from Nationwide Building Society, which was published last week, also reported strong growth in property values. Nationwide said its study showed prices have jumped by 10.6% annually, although it said the pace of growth is slowing.
Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist for IHS Global Insight, said: "On balance, we take the view that house prices will keep on clearly rising over the coming months but there will be some moderation from the recent peak levels.
"More stretched house prices-to-earnings ratios, the prospect that interest rates will soon start to rise, albeit gradually, and tighter checking of prospective mortgage borrowers by lenders will likely have some dampening impact on buyer interest.
"Even so, with the economy seen holding up pretty well going forward, employment high and rising, consumer confidence elevated and earnings growth likely to improve, and with housing supply remaining tight in many areas, house price growth will probably slow gradually."

It was always going to take something special for Northern Districts to deny Central Districts on the final day of their Plunket Shield cricket match in Gisborne today and they made little impression against a side who have now jumped to the top of the table.
Central Districts enjoyed an eight-wicket win over Northern, coasting to their target of 95 for the loss of two wickets inside 20.3 overs.
Jeet Raval backed up his first innings score of 73 with an unbeaten 57 and, alongside Matthew Sinclair (7 not out), guided his team to a comfortable victory.
The only casualties of the day were Jamie How (20) and Carl Cachopa (nine), both captured by Brent Arnel. Raval played a good hand in the victory but it was set up by Central's bowling attack, who bundled Northern Districts out for 183 and 252.
Youngsters Ben Wheeler and Adam Milne took 12 wickets in the match - four each on day three - to put their side in a strong position.
Central have now won two of their first three games to top the Plunket Shield table. Northern Districts are still searching for their first outright victory, having lost two and drawn one to sit in fifth place.
Rain forced the second day of Canterbury's match with Wellington in Rangiora to be abandoned. Canterbury are 91-2 in reply to Wellington's 239, with Peter Fulton (32 not out) and Dean Brownlie (53 not out) still at the crease.
Tomorrow's forecast is for fine weather.

Solar Flare Activity And Its Effect On The Human Body
The Pleiadian LIght Through Hannah Beaconsfield
While you are not plugged into a current outlet -like your toaster or computer, you are still receiving energy in a more generalized and dispersed way. Applying this to your physical, electrical bodies, the systems most highly dependent on electrical impulse to function, like the heart and brain, in terms of organs, and the neurological network, as a bodily system, are the most likely to be effected.
A kind of low level "fuse blowing" on a neurological level within the brain can cause confusion, faulty memory retrieval, lack of coordination, and an even greater lack of cerebral hemisphere integration and interaction than already exists at your current level of species development. You may experience transient dyslexic effects, or intensified dyslexia, if it is already present.
The effects of a mild surge to the nervous system of the body in even a "diffuse" way, can make the nerves feel very raw and the resulting emotional reaction one of tension and irritability. Some of the irrational and destructive behavior by people who are already on a stressful edge may be influenced by flare activity. Though there are many factors involved in why any individual goes off the "deep end" and acts irrationally, this type of electromagnetic stress on the nervous system can be a contributing factor.
This "flare" factor can also effect domestic and wild animals, causing them to go against their natural behavior. However, this too depends on an accumulation of other stresses as well.
The electrical system of your physical body serves to support the entire functioning of the physical organism, not just the prime sites like heart and brain. Therefore any weakened organ or faulty systemic function you carry as individuals will be furthered stressed by heightened solar flare activity.
Your scientists have been documenting and disseminating information about the effects of solar flares on the body and functioning of Mother Earth, so we will confine our attention to the individual human bodies that -are the extended children of the Earth Mother.
Many different astronomical considerations contribute to the increase of solar flares in terms of frequency and size, but they are still a repetitive not a continuous occurrence. This may be heartening on one hand, for it means -the effects come and go. On the other hand this can create a sense of the whole world suffering from some bipolar derangement. Therefore you need to explore ways to make yourselves more comfortable at the high points of rare activity.
You learned how to handle the force of electricity in a safe and effective way in the technological development of your world, so you have the means of understanding how to make yourself more comfortable during high flare activity.
You know that electricity needs to be grounded to be used safely. This you can do through meditation, visualizing all energy flowing to you and through you as exiting your root chakra and your feet, moving deeply into the Earth. Grounding is of the utmost importance and often wearing Earth tone colors like tan, brown or even black can support these meditations.
Using the conductivity of water to your advantage is also helpful. Keep the body well hydrated. Another use of water to help you handle the excessive energy charges is swimming.
Swimming does three things (at least) that are of great value to the physical body in times of high energy bombardment. One, it releases excess energy from your body into the water, which is a natural conductor. Two, the physical movement of swimming drives the electric currents through the body so it does not accumulate in one area to the detriment of any specific organs, and then moves the excess out. And three, any swimming strokes that approximate the use of alternate arm and leg activity will help to integrate the brain hemisphere functioning.
Even walking, swinging the arms in opposition to the legs is helpful in electrical energy management. In fact, you could stand in a shower and march in place, lifting opposite arms and legs and get the benefits of the water's conductivity and the brain integration movement. However, step carefully, please.
Those who do hand energy work can assist you in moving out uncomfortable levels of electricity, and so can acupuncture, acupressure, and chiropractic. Also certain mineral supplements and metals can help the situation, but we will leave that to holistic practitioners for you need to be monitored in such activities.
Electromagnetic surges are not the only forms of energy hitting the Earth as a result of solar flares but some of the other effects will be "taken care of " through the DNA changes underway in your species.
There is nothing happening on Earth in terms of the dimensional ascension, the species transformation, or astronomical activity that cannot be handled or given comfort. Yes, many of you feel like "The Children of Job" right now, but if you use your brilliant minds and your extraordinary creativity, you can devise many ways to come to terms with the processes and be more at peace.

Main characteristics of Japanese Official Development Assistance (ODA) flows
At the end of the 1990s, the Japanese government distributed annually more than US$10 billion as foreign aid directly or indirectly to developing countries. Japan's ODA can be divided into the following four groups: 1) Bilateral Grants, 2) Technical Co-operation, 3) Multilateral Aid, and 4) Bilateral Loans. In 2001, Bilateral Grants made up 19.3 percent of Japan's total ODA budget; Technical Co-operation constituted 29.7 percent; Multilateral Aid and Bilateral Loans accounted for 24.7 percent and 26.3 percent, respectively. There have been criticisms that Japanese ODA loans have been provided mainly for economic infrastructure projects only. In response to these criticisms, the Japanese government claims to have made efforts to channel these loans into various social sectors, such as agricultural projects or rural development.

Why did Robert De Niro Jr. want to make a film about his father?
The answer is a very pure one; he wants people to have the chance to experience and see his father's art. He's not forcing it down people's throats, he's not making a decision for people about what they should feel; he just wants people to have the opportunity to see it. This is a film where a lot of emphasis is on the art, which we think is beautiful, and speaks for itself.
This is not just an individual story; it's a vehicle for artists across the board, that often times it's not about the immediate reward of the spotlight and the audience attention that you feel you deserve; that it's really about persistence and working continuously and putting out work regardless of where the spotlight may choose to be. Robert De Niro Sr.'s story is a bit sad in some ways. But there is also a hope behind it that, what makes you an artist is not the trends of the day, it's not the galleries who choose you -- it's the idea that you continue to do your work regardless.
At the height of his public success in 1945, Robert De Niro Sr.'s paintings were included in Peggy Guggenheim's Art of This Century Gallery, alongside works by Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. What was the New York art scene like at that time?
We're talking about a very small world; basically 10 galleries in New York that might have been important. In the beginning of his career, Robert De Niro Sr. was seen as a rising star. His contemporaries were the abstract expressionists, though he was never really one of them because he was a figurative painter. Then, as the focal point of the art world shifted, things began to change. The abstract expressionists broke away from the pack and became the leading force in the art world. De Niro was a bit sidelined by that, because he was not truly abstract and he was still looking to Europe for a lot of his inspiration -- particularly France. Later with the pop art movement, all of these artists were shoved to the side. Unless you really knew how to play the game – or chose to play the game – you were left out. De Niro was considered an artist's artist. He was not willing to change with the trends of the time and it cost him.
He was not going to change his style of painting for something that, to him, didn't seem like art. From what we're able to piece together, this was a tremendously disconcerting and difficult time for him artistically.
His disenchantment with the New York art scene prompted his move to Paris. But that did not turn out as he had hoped, did it?

I agree, Yellow Rose....it's like they're dancing in slow motion or something....I thought it was just me....lol
She's dancing. He's not doing much.
is she wearing enough make-up?
"Intense, throbbing and masterful. You're such a package!"
Interesting choice of words there... :rofl.
agreed. karina is such a strong partner. she could make master p look good!
anyway looks like they got the best pick for the music this week.
annd i love carrie's commet! its so true. i respect mario as a dancer, but i dont like his style..or something heh
I am really disappointed with the dances this evening. Maybe it's the music choice. Who chooses the music? It just is not matching the dance. :down Mario's dance didn't seem to be in tune with the music. Was it just me? :confused Oh and his movements looked alot like last week's did.
mario is always showing off. he's suppossed to be immersed in his partner. especially with the rhumba! example: willa and max lol

As I've stated multiple times in the past, the best production is that which tells a story. Music's greatest producers know that their work should contribute something extra to a song, rather than just take up sonic space. DJ Pooh knew it when he produced Ice Cube's "Today Was a Good Day," just as The RZA knew it when he crafted "C.R.E.A.M." for his Wu brothers. It is this ability to weave a tale without words that has set the best apart from the rest. Throughout his career, Blockhead, is one such producer who showcases this quality.
Blockhead rise to prominence came as a result of his production on Definitive Jux emcee Aesop Rock's albums. But in 2004, Blockhead went for dolo, and the result was the brilliant Music by Cavelight. A Trip-Hop tour de force, the album was 51 minutes of moody auras, scratches and samples. Perhaps the release was too good, as its follow-ups, 2005's Downtown Science and 2007's Uncle Tony's Coloring Book just didn't stack up. The Downtown New York producer has reaffirmed his top-tier talents, however, with his latest release – The Music Scene.
"It's Raining Clouds" serves as this album's "Insomniac Olympics," with flutes, synths, vocal samples and the occasional haunting choir setting a moody tone. The title track is next, starting with a very basic percussion session and a vocal sample that says, "The music scene has got me down / 'Cause I don't want to be a clown." The percussion evolves along the way, as does the rest of the tune. What sounds like a distant harmonica is one of the many elements that combine to make "The Music Scene" a very lush composition, whose progression feels extraordinarily organic.
"The Daily Routine" is a nearly-seven-minute wonder which captures the tensions of an argument that is actually sampled throughout the song. Beginning with an extra-heavy guitar section and some more of those haunting choirs, this is yet another evolving song that eventually features acoustic guitar and sped-up string samples. It is extremely easy to get lost in a cut like this, and there's no doubt that that's exactly what Blockhead had in mind when he crafted it.
"Tricky Turtle" is a bit of a change of pace, as triumphant horns make way for similarly victorious-sounding vocal samples. It arrives at an opportune time, as it provides the listener a bit of a reprieve from the incredibly and exclusively dense sounds that had dominated the album's first half. The intermission is a short one, however, as "Four Walls" is as layered as anything else on the record. With a thumping bass-line, distorted (Auto-Tuned, perhaps?) vocals, and timely piano keys, the cut has such a intoxicating swoon that I can't, in good conscience, recommend listening to it while driving.
"Farewell Spaceman," The Music Scene's final offering, sums up the album itself very well. It is of diverse musical tastes, and ever-evolving – and in the end, that's what makes this Blockhead's best release since his first. It's certainly busier than Music by Cavelight, but it's also lighter and a more cerebral listening experience. Depending on what you're looking for from your instrumental Hip Hop, those qualities may or may not be preferable. Regardless, there's very little to complain about here. Just push play, and let the music take you where it will.

A man driving on the north side around 6:30 this morning hit a power pole and knocked out electricity to 9,300 homes.
Pockets of Tucson Electric Power customers were affected from River Road to 22nd Street, as were customers from Swan Road to First Avenue, said Joseph Barrios, spokesman for TEP.
Electricity was restored to about 8,000 customers by 7:20 a.m, Barrios said. As of 10:30, fewer than 50 homes remained without power. TEP crews are on scene to determine how structurally sound other poles in the area are, Barrios said. Although only one pole was struck, other poles could have been affected by the tension of the wires being pulled as the pole fell.
The single-vehicle wreck at East Fort Lowell Road and North Kelvin Boulevard has closed Fort Lowell between North Palo Verde Avenue and North Edith Boulevard, said Sgt. Pete Dugan, spokesman for the Tucson Police Department. The road closure will last throughout the day and likely into tomorrow.
Because of the power outage, some traffic lights in the area may not be working, he said.
The driver of the vehicle that hit the pole was uninjured and showed no signs of impairment, Dugan said.

Bubbles in your aquarium can come from a number of sources. Bubbles are particularly common in new tanks or tanks with new equipment. The problem with the bubbles is that they stick to the sides of the aquarium and distort your view of the fish. Removing bubbles from your aquarium requires you look over your equipment, evaluate your feeding methods and maintain your filters.There are solutions for chronic bubbles, but first you need to find the source of the problem.
Change the water in the tank. Dirty water creates surface tension. Use a clean water source to replace the water in the tank. While you are changing the water, clean the filter. A dirty filter simply feeds impurities back into the system
Feed your fish the proper amount. Fish can only eat a finite amount of food in a given period of time. Only feed them an amount they can eat quickly. Food particles in the tank on a regular basis means overfeeding. Overfeeding your fish clouds the water and the filter. Clouding leads to water impurity. Water impurity equals surface tension which results in bubbles clinging to the sides of your tank.
Check the protein skimmer. If you have a salt water tank with a dirty protein skimmer, the sludge in the tank may be the source of your bubbles. Additionally, a new protein skimmer must be broken in. If you have a new skimmer and you have eliminated other possibilities, allow the skimmer to cure for a few weeks. Curing simply means allow the skimmer to run for a few weeks. If the bubble problem is because of a new skimmer, all you can do is let it age for a while.
Check plumbing. Lines that deliver air to your tank that have holes in them may be the source of your bubbles. It is easiest to check these lines while you are cleaning the tank. Simply hold your hand over the plumbing outlet valve and see if bubbles accumulate along the line.

MedeA® Surface Tension
Medea Surface Tension allows users to compute the surface tension of a range of liquids using the LAMMPS simulation code. The underlying methodology computes the time average of the difference between the atomic pressure components perpendicular and tangential to a liquid simulation slab. Medea Surface Tension can be applied to simple liquids, molten metals, and molten inorganic materials, with the accuracy of simulated results depending on the quality of the forcefield employed.
Key Benefits of Medea Surface Tension:
- Provides for the automated preparation and analysis of LAMMPS surface tension calculations, handling model construction, forcefield and charge model assignment, and post-processing analysis, allowing you to focus on the science. Easily set up calculations with the MedeA® flowchart interface, where flowcharts can be saved, rerun, and employed with alternative atomistic models; and edited for further use (See MedeA LAMMPS for more details.)
- Provides automatic analysis of surface tension with graphs showing convergence for a given simulation.
- Works with the JobServer and TaskServer to run your calculations on the appropriate hardware resources, and centralizing your results
Integrates with MedeA Forcefield for forcefield handling and assignment
Computational characteristics:
- Uses the LAMMPS forcefield engine for efficient performance on computers from scalar workstations to a massively parallel super computers.
- Scales consistently with system size and the size of the computational cluster: if you double the system but run on twice as many cpu's, the computational time is virtually unchanged.

Topic Area
: GHG abatement
Geographic Area:
Focal Question:
The adoption of biomass : A case for the abatement of GHG's.
(1) Olerup, Deciding on Biomass in Hasselby.
Energy Policy
, v. 22 (5). May 1994.
R. Scott Ames, Colby '96
In 1986, Stockholm Energi realized that it's plant in Hasselby needed renovating in order to acquire a continued license to emit pollutants before its permit expired in 1993. This new permit would require a decrease in pollutants emitted by the facility, but the current system in Hasselby was a coal and oil burning plant which would not be able to meet the new required standards for 1993. Aware of technological innovations that occur over time that can make some energy systems cost effective in the future which may not be cost effective now, the Stockholm Energi board began looking for a solution six years before the deadline for the permit application was due.
The initial choice by the board was to renovate or re-invest in another coal burning facility, which was voted on and accepted in 1987. Due to the good condition of the present system, it was said that it could be renovated fairly inexpensively with flue gas cleaners or they could either build a new, lower emitting system that was more expensive. Although both solutions would have reduced the emission of pollutants, they both had fairly large fixed and variable costs.
By 1989, technological innovations made possible a cost effective natural gas system that cost about 90% less than the coal investment project and was a cleaner source of energy. The obstacle presented to Stockholm energi was that it would take approximately five years for the system to be installed and operational and the permit application needed to be submitted by 1992. The reason for the delay in establishing a natural gas system was because of the time dimension involved with laying piping to get the natural gas to Hasselby. Due to the delays and the rapidly approaching deadline for a new system, the board began looking for a temporary solution to meet the energy demands for the year beginning 1993.
The first short term solution the board considered was a heat pump system, despite some significant problems with this system. The first was that the system required electricity to run it. This was a problem mainly due to the phase out of nuclear energy. The option of powering the system with fuel oil was politically undesirable due to carbon emissions taxes and other new pollutant regulations. The heat pump system was cost effective because the Hasselby plant had access to a heat pump, thus the refusal to implement this system was one of political and social pressures rather than of economic principles.
The deadline was near for the permit application when in 1991 technology gave rise to a fourth alternative, a biomass system. This system was found to be very cost effective and environmentally sound- appealing to both economists and politicians alike. Although this solution was a bit more expensive than the natural gas solution, it was by far the cheapest and most politically acceptable solution for the short run. The planners realized that, not only did this system reduce the emission of GHG's from a coal fired plant, but its source of energy was waste that is transformed into combustible pellets. This was even more appealing when the waste problem of the Stockholm area was considered.
As it turned out, the waste site in northern Stockholm at Uppsala was near capacity and it was estimated that it would reach capacity within seven to ten years. This made biomass all the more viable, not only for its low investment costs but also because it could help reduce the burden on the Uppsala disposal site. This lead to the decision to adopt a short term biomass solution in June of 1991.
This solution to the energy problem became even more appealing in 1992 when technology made the biomass system even cheaper than natural gas. Since a plan had already been initiated to use a natural gas system, the planners designed a combined system which used both natural gas and biomass for the long run energy demand of the Hasselby system. This was both environmentally and economically acceptable due to the reduced emissions of GHG's associated with fossil fuels and the low investment costs associated with the planned system.
The situation in Sweden is parallel to the situation often faced by energy planners in the United States. Here, we see a mix of economic viability and political partisanship in the determination of system adoptions. Yet, in the United States the emphasis seems to be more on economics than social concerns for environmentally sustainable approaches. Also, the fact that the Swedish planners began preparation very early causes one to think that technological advances are a more recognized by countries other than the United States. The Swedish case presents us with a solution to a planning dilemma that is both economically viable and environmentally sustainable, an aspect that appears to be lacking in the United States' case.

And that's how I found myself in the executive offices at Fenway Park for a meeting with Tom Werner, the chairman of the Boston Red Sox and the most successful sitcom executive producer in history, with shows like "Roseanne" and "The Cosby Show" to his credit. I was standing in a conference room reading a framed box score from the 1918 World Series, featuring a young Babe Ruth, when Werner walked in. I told him I had lived in San Diego when the Padres — which he owned at the time — invited Roseanne Barr to sing the national anthem. "That cost me a lot of money," Werner lamented, "because TV stations across the country dropped Roseanne's show." Great, my ice-breaker was an ice-maker. Werner was done with small talk. "So what's this show concept?" The meeting went on for another hour as I gave a pitch to a man who has heard pitches from the funniest and most creative people in the country. It was met with the sound of crickets.
Then Bill Carey became news director at Tribune Broadcasting-owned WPIX in November 2009, and he suggested I meet with Steve Charlier, Tribune's vice president of news. Charlier was looking for a way to hold an audience until the end of a newscast, after the weather. His idea was to run commentaries near the end of the broadcast. We met at an Irish pub in Manhattan, and he told me up front that I was a long shot for the job: "Write something, and we'll see."
I wrote a commentary about the fact that the F-word is becoming the most commonly heard word in the English language. It was funny. It was brash. It was everything Charlier asked for. But, again, crickets.
Maybe Bangalore was a good idea after all. Or … Turkey? A woman making a documentary about Turkish businessmen who helped thousands of Jews escape Germany during World War II contacted me about working on the film. She said it would involve traveling to Istanbul and Israel. I was interested, and she asked me to send a proposal that included salary requirements. I think I asked for too much because, once again, no reply. The chorus of crickets was now international.
WHILE I MIGHT HAVE been flailing at pitches for a year, I was learning as much as I could about the Internet. I created several blogs and columns — one for this magazine's website — and I dove into social networking. One day on Twitter, I was chatting with the communications director for the government of Dubai. He asked if I was "the real Larry Mendte." I wrote back, "Yes, I am. How do you know me?" He replied, "We have the Internet in Dubai." Apparently I'm big in the Middle East.

Four Killed in Tunisian Air Force Helicopter Crash
Three Tunisians and a French national were killed when a Tunisian air force helicopter crashed while trying to evacuate two tourists injured in a car accident, the defense ministry said Wednesday.
The accident occurred Tuesday near Garaat Bouflija, in the south of Tunisia, the ministry said in a statement.
The Tunisians killed were the pilot and the mechanic of the helicopter, and an army male nurse. No details about the French national who was killed were immediately available.
A number of people injured in the crash, among them two French nationals, were evacuated to Tunis for treatment.
The helicopter crashed while it was engaged in a tricky evacuation operation of two French tourists injured in the car accident, the statement said, without giving details – TUNIS (AFP)

Did you see: Michigan's manufacturing industry is on the rise
ABC reports that as Michigan's auto industry is improving, the state's economy is getting a boost too.
At Nicky D's Coney Island in Warren, Mich., across the street from a Chrysler truck plant, co-owner Diana Dedvuka has seen her bustling diner come back from a near-death experience.
"People are working. They're spending more money. Customers seem to be happier," she said.
In 2009, the family-owned restaurant struggled to stay open as Chrysler and General Motors teetered on the brink of collapse.
"Our business went down 40 percent," Dedvuka, the daughter of a retired auto worker, told ABC News. "Driving to work, you would see these big (auto) plants completely empty. It would give you chills."
Now, Dedvuka says, customers who once feared losing their jobs are complaining about working too much overtime.
Read the full article for more on how Michigan is recovering.

Press Release
Society of Health and Physical Educators Introduces New Website at www.ShapeAmerica.org
RESTON,VA, April 17, 2014 – The Society of Health and Physical Educators, formerly known as AAHPERD, today continued its rebranding efforts to be the premiere organization for school health and physical educators with the introduction of its new streamlined website - www.SHAPEAmerica.org. Earlier this month at the 129-year-old organization's National Convention & Expo in St. Louis, the new name, logo and brand were formally launched.
"The new website is a culmination of our new visual look, improved navigation and search capability so that you can easily find all of the popular topics on the website from Let's Move! Active Schools to the National Standards and Guidelines," says Chief Executive Officer E. Paul Roetert. "We purposely changed the name to SHAPE America to help increase visibility and name recognition among our members and the public. So when looking for topical information on school health and physical education, and the importance of healthy, active lifestyles, we want www.SHAPEAmerica.org to be the first stop for everyone."
In addition to including our popular Teacher's Toolbox and Coach's Toolbox, all social media channels are featured as well as many quick-links, visuals, breaking news and announcements in the fields of school health, physical education and physical activity, with an enhanced search capability. For instance, news about the 2014 National Coaching Conference, June 18-20 in Washington, D.C. is included on the website as the "go to" source for the call for proposals, registration and housing and programming highlights. This will be followed shortly with information about the 2015 National Conference & Expo on March 17-21 in Seattle, WA.
The website also includes a look at the association's leaders. At the recent National Convention & Expo, Dolly Lambdin, a clinical professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Education at the University of Texas at Austin, assumed the presidency of the organization. She is joined on the Executive Committee with Past President Gale Wiedow of Dakota State University, SD; SHAPE America CEO Roetert, and newly elected President-Elect Stephen Jefferies of Central Washington University. At-large members of the Board of Directors include newly–elected Marybell Avery, Lincoln, NE Public Schools; Fran Cleland, West Chester University, PA; Renee Colleran, Northshore School District, WA; Dennis Docheff, University of Central Missouri; Neil Dougherty, Rutgers University, NJ; Lynn Johnson, Plymouth State University, NH; Anne Stewart, Corpus Christie, TX, and Milton Wilder, Cullman, AL.
Once an alliance of five national associations and a Research Consortium, the organization developed a multi-year strategic review and planning process to better serve its nearly 20,000 members' needs as a unified organization. Reflecting this new direction, SHAPE America is working to:
- Shape a future where healthy is the norm
- Shape a standard of excellence in physical education and health education
- Shape the lifelong habits of young people
- Shape and influence policy related to physical education and health education.
SHAPE America - Society of Health and Physical Educators is committed to ensuring all children have the opportunity to lead healthy, physically active lives. As the nation's largest membership organization of health and physical education professionals, SHAPE America works with its 50 state affiliates and national partners to support initiatives such as the Presidential Youth Fitness Program, Let's Move! Active Schools and the Jump Rope For Heart/Hoops For Heart programs.
Since its founding in 1885, the organization has defined excellence in physical education, and our resources provide the leadership, professional development and advocacy that support health and physical educators at every level - from preschool to university graduate programs.

I bought this blush a few days ago having decided I'd quite like a pink blush to go with my vast collection of corals! I adore Coralista and Sugarbomb and I also use Bella Bamba but only in summer. As a lover of all the BeneFit blushes, I decided to go for Dandelion as I wanted a soft pink, not a bright pink (Bella Bamba does that job!) and the reviews are pretty good too. However, whilst I will use it and I do like it, it doesn't live up to the others, especially Coralista. I guess it depends what you want in a blush. I like a shimmer, or a sheen, but not glitter. Coralista and Sugarbomb have a gorgeous sheen, with the Sugarbomb sheen being more on the golden side. Dandelion, however, has a very subtle shimmer, almost to the point of being unnoticeable. It doesn't make my face glow like the others do and when I did wear it, I ended up putting Coralista on top just for the sheen as I knew I wasn't happy with it. However, it did give a lovely pink glow during the day. I will therefore be keeping it, however I will not use it alone. I will use something on top to bring more life to my cheeks, maybe my Mac Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle or my Bobbi Brown Beige Shimmer Brick. I think both are neutral enough not to hide the pink tones of this blush but they will add some much-needed shimmer. I've never been a lover of matte blushes, so I think I expected too much from Dandelion. As with all BeneFit blushes, however, I cannot fault the quality and it is very easily applied and does not streak at all. Anyone who wants a healthy glow without much shimmer will love this. Those who prefer the more noticeable blushes from BeneFit will probably find they need to use something else with it.
UPDATE: I have upgraded this to a 4 as I've discovered I can create the most beautiful glow using this and my Mac Soft & Gentle Skinfinish on the cheekbones. This has therefore become my favourite pink blush and I will definitely be repurchasing!

More than 25 years after they first appeared, golf's governing bodies have decided that putters anchored to a part of the body other than the hands will be against the rules.
Next on the agenda of the United States Golf Association and the Royal & Ancient will apparently be a look into the advantages of wooden tees and steel shafts.
On Wednesday morning, the two august bodies decided that a player who anchors the putter to his or her body is not making a fair stroke. Because these bodies noted an increase of use and that the long putter was no longer a last resort they decided now was the time to act. Never mind that these same two issued a statement back in 1989 saying they had no problems with long putters. Now, apparently because more people are using these putters, everything has changed.
Was the timing of this ruling a coincidence? The first PGA Tour win with a long putter was back in 1991, for the belly putter, it was 2000. But this year, players using anchored putters won two majors: Webb Simpson at the U.S. Open and Ernie Els at the British Open. That didn't look right apparently. The governing bodies were afraid that these non-traditional putters would take over, heaven forbid.
But the number of pros using the long wands is still miniscule, around 12 per cent, depending on the event. And the overall record for wins on the PGA Tour this year is in favour of unanchored putters. As Jason Logan so diligently tracks in his blog each week, there were 39 wins with unanchored putters and six with. Hardly an overwhelming example of how or if the long putters are an advantage.

text: Thanks Robert, Sorry for the incomplete request for help. The install of numpy seems to go fine, but when I import numpy it reports that it is running from the source directory. I assume this has to do with the BLAS/ATLAS stuff I have been reading about. What I am actually trying to do is get NumPy wrapped in the install of our software program. We currently wrap Python2.4 as our scripting language and I need a way to get numpy in our compiler. The gui portions of our software runs on Windows but the engine works on Unix flavors. I am afraid I am not too knowledgeable about what goes on under the hood of the NumPy install. I assume I need an appropriate C compiler (where gcc fit in for Mac OSX), but I was wondering if there was an appropriate Doc I should closely examine that would point me in the right direction. I hope this clears my question up a bit. Again, thanks in advance....

There is no way one can make a platform-independent doc that covers all of the cases. We need to know what you tried and exactly how it failed (i.e., we need you to copy the exact error messages and paste them into an email). If I had to guess, though, since you succeeded doing an install from source on OS X, the problem on Linux is likely that you do not have the appropriate Python development package for your system. On RPM-based systems like Fedora Core, it is usually named something like python-devel. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion

The letter below was written by D.C. United's Co-Managing Partners, Victor MacFarlane and Will Chang.
Dear D.C. United Fan,
As the season has come to a close, we want to share a few decisions and update you, our fans – the very best fans and supporters in major league sports.
"Win Championships and Serve the Community" is D.C. United's mission statement. We strive everyday to achieve it. It does not mean that we will win championships every year, but we will be disappointed if we don't - and will work that much harder to make sure it happens the following year. It also means that we will put on the field not only quality soccer players, but quality human beings, who represent you and us in the way we want to be represented.
The 2008 season was a disappointment. We had high hopes entering the season, but success was not achieved to our level of expectations. We did win the U.S. Open Cup, our 12th trophy, and the night of the championship game at our home stadium was exciting and a wonderful environment for the team and our fans.
(read the rest of the letter after the jump)
Except for the U.S. Open Cup, we had a down year on the field and there are a variety of reasons why we did not succeed. For some time now, we have looked at those reasons and spoken in depth with the individuals involved. As a result of that investigation, our historical success, their past performance and our belief in these individuals, we have made no changes to our team executives. Kevin Payne, Dave Kasper and Tommy Soehn will return. There are also no changes anticipated on the business side of the company.
However, we don't want you to assume that those reasons will be excuses for our lack of success. Another repeat of last year's performance on the pitch is not an acceptable outcome. And we don't expect it again.
Accordingly, we are becoming more active in the overall management of D.C. United, and have added the title of Co-Executive Chairman for each of us. While day-to-day management will continue to reside in our executives, all "CEO" level executive decisions will be made by us. As part of our new role the business operations and team operations will report directly to us.
The business reorganization will ensure responsibility, accountability and focus. We are instituting enhanced management practices and have agreed upon clear performance metrics and expectations for all of the above named executives.
Kevin Payne remains president and is directly responsible for the business operations of D.C. United and as stated above will report directly to us. Kevin will also assist in the oversight of the team operations, provide his advice and be part of the decision-making process on player selection and other aspects of that area of our business. However, the primary responsibility and accountability will be with General Manager Dave Kasper, who will also report directly to us. Tommy remains the coach of the team.
We have excellent executives and, equally important, they are quality people. However, we are in a very competitive business, and we have high standards for ourselves. Our job is to ensure we achieve those standards by setting clear expectations and ensuring that we hold everyone accountable for these agreed upon goals and objectives. If these are not met to our satisfaction, we will take what ever action is necessary to achieve those goals.
We want to thank you for your commitment to the club. Your passion is unmatched.
Going into the future, we intend to update you regularly to share with you our thoughts on D.C. United and the decisions that we have made.
Victor MacFarlane and Will Chang

We are considering changing the default to "Reply without Attachment" for the Notes 8.0.1 maintenance release.
My colleage Jeff Eisen has brought up a couple of important points, however, and we'd like your feedback.
He's concerned that a maintenance release is not the place for this kind of change (for example, we do not update the documentation in a maintenance release, and thus the only place where a change like this is documented is in the release notes, which end users.)
We do not want your help desk people and admins to bear the wrath of users who hit "reply" and assumed the attachment was going with it, and then lost data.

Dell shares jump 5.5% as board agrees to new buyout offer
Dell's shares have risen 5.5% after the firm's board accepted a new buyout offer from founder Michael Dell.
The latest proposal add a one-off payment of 13 cents a share to last week's $13.75 a share offer.
Mr Dell, together with investment firm Silver Lake, is trying to buy back the computer giant he founded in 1984.
Shareholders had been due to vote on Friday on the offer, but the addition of the dividend means a new proposal has to be drafted and put to them.
They will now vote at a special meeting on 12 September.
Mr Dell, who owns 16% of the company he founded while still at college, wants to reorganise the business, which has been moving away from making computers and into providing technology services.
But shareholders have been resisting, led by billionaire Carl Icahn, who has argued that Mr Dell has undervalued the company.
Mr Icahn has an 8.7% stake in the company and is trying to take control of the company along with Southeastern Asset Management.
On Thursday, he began a legal challenge to Mr Dell's plans.
The bid, excluding the one-off payment, values the company at $24.5bn (£16bn).
