Hi there, is there anyway to get this image to work on the raspberry pi zero??
I was wondering the same thing, hey adafruit, I'm sure that others would love to be able to use a pi zero, is this going to happen?
PLEASE HELP. Ok, so i'm an engineering student and I've finally convinced my teacher to let me make this I got all the parts and i'm ready to print. The problem is when I download this in STL format I can't open it, it just doesn't show up through the program. I've been trying to find a solution for 3 weeks and nothing works. If it helps the program I'm using is Solidworks.
1.have you tried redownload it?
2.What program are you trying to use?
3.And is this program a printer software, or a slicer?
Good news the problem has been resolved! I'm not sure what he did, but one of my friends who is a lot more educated in using the program found out how to fix it. Thanks for your help anyway.
I wish you made it look more like the one in Fallout 4. I wonder If I can combine this one with another one to make it look better. Also what LCD Screen did you use?
could i add in sensors to this, like a thermometer, barometer, distance meter, stuff like that, that would give some changing data on the screen which would be fun
Why did you not make this more like the Pip Boy 3000 MK 4 from the game
Does this project link with the Xbox One and let you control in-game menus like the phone app does?
hi try software but the cant text bug or do have set the screen up befor i use it if so how to do it
:( Too big for my printer (davinci jr)
Any 3D modeling program should let you "cut up" the files so that you can fit them on your printer's bed. I've used 3D Builder to subdivide large parts so that they fit on my DaVinci 1.0. It's the simplest and easiest to use program I've found to do quick edits like this.
The video is marked private. :(
No worries, video will be published at 9AM ET - Very soon :-)

The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles: Congo, January 1917
TV: Apr 1992
DVD: Oct 2007 (12-DVD)
Soundtrack: Nov 1992 (CD)
Simon Wincer; Carl Schultz
Frank Darabont (writer); George Lucas (story)
Sean Patrick Flanery (Indiana Jones); Ronny Coutteure (Remy); George Hall (Dr. Henry 'Indiana' Jones, Jr.); Bryan Pringle (Zachariah Sloat); Emile Abossolo M'bo (Joseph); Isolde Barth (Helene Schweitzer); Yann Collette (Colonel Pernod); Friedrich von Thun (Albert Schweitzer); Abisa Abisa (Zibu); Christian Cloarec (Captain Rostand); J. Leon Pridgen II (Jeffens); David Lenthall (Mike); Holden Hansen (Paramedic #2); Abdullah Sohado (Pahdun Chief); David Odero (Chief's Son)
The adventures of the archelogical treasure hunter in his youth.
The now legendary, almost mythical character of Indiana Jones once had a childhood. Every episode starts out with the elderly man that he is in the 1990's getting into a specific situation where he has to tell a story from his past. The stories go back to when he was ten years old and on a world tour with his father, and to his late-teens when he fought in World War I. (Amazon.com)
DVD sets don't come more generous or well-intended than The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Volume One. George Lucas' 1990s television series, inspired by his feature film collaborations with Steven Spielberg and actor Harrison Ford, used a childhood version of Jones as a catalyst for involving young viewers in the dynamics of 20th century history and thought. As much a scamp as Ford's swaggering hero-with-a-bullwhip, little Henry "Indy" Jones (Corey Carrier) gets into a great deal of mischief in his travels around the world with his disciplined father, Professor Henry Jones, Sr. (Lloyd Owen, doing a credible version of Sean Connery's voice from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). Also accompanied by his mother (Ruth de Sosa) and imperious tutor, Miss Seymour (Margaret Tyzack), Indy ends up in various unanticipated adventures with some of the most noteworthy individuals of his age. A trip to Paris finds him cavorting with young Norman Rockwell and an ultra-arrogant Pablo Picasso (who is out to prove that the style of aging Impressionist Edgar Degas is easy to forge). A stay in India lands Indy in the company of the great guru, Krishnamurti. In Russia, he feuds with Tolstoy as if the two were in a buddy movie. In Italy, Puccini puts romantic moves on Mrs. Jones, while Indy listens carefully in Vienna to definitions of love by none other than Freud, Jung and Adler.
The overall effect of these handsome, feature-length stories, all shot on glorious location, is of a certain audacity--Lucas having the nerve to name-drop all over the place and situate Jones with some of the greatest achievers in world culture. But each episode is nothing less than spectacularly educational as well as entertaining. Scripts are carefully written to reflect what these famous individuals actually contributed to mankind, and to give a sense of what their personalities were like. The last three shows in Volume One find Jones at age 20 (played by Sean Patrick Flanery), now more or less on his own as he gets into various scrapes in Mexico (where he rides with Pancho Villa) and Ireland (where he meets William Butler Yeats). There is so much to glean from these stories, but even more to bask in on the set's many special features, which include multiple, exquisitely produced documentaries about the historical figures, political and artistic movements, and crucial events that play into this series. This is a great set for kids (probably beginning at the 6th grade level) and adults as well, preferably to watch together. (Tom Keogh, Amazon.com)
The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was based on the Indiana Jones series of films. The series follows the Indiana Jones character (as a young boy and as a young man) as he was growing up and experiencing his early adventures, where he gets into trouble, learns life lessons and encounters various historical figures along the way. The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was filmed on location all over the world ~ including England, Russia, Spain, Czechoslovakia, Kenya, France, India, China, Austria, Egypt, the United States, Morocco, Ireland, Italy, Africa, Turkey, Greece and Thailand.

4 Telugu movies to release tomorrow - Tv9
Fri, Feb 27, 2015, 12:46 AM
Generally the film makers hesitate to release their movies during the cricket season and that too they would stay away during world cup. But, four Telugu movies are getting released tomorrow and couple of them are straight ones while the other two are remakes. Bham Bholenath and Ram Leela are the straight ones. Ram Leela stars Havish and Abhijeet and this movie is based on a true story that happened in USA. . .. .

The menu works in Chrome and Firefox etc.The main menu item Trophies should have a sub menu item, Sports Trophies that opens directly beneath it. That should have a sub menu that opens on the right with 7 items.In IE9 it opens only the first item "Sports Trophies" In IE 8 none open.I am on a mac, I have tried figuring this out using a simulator but no luck and it is painfully slowAny ideas?
Thanks in advanceMark
oops, can't believe I forgot to post the link, no wonder I did not get any answers!http://tonicpit.com/cct2
Its the IE gradient filter that is killing Ie8.
#nav ul.sub-menu{
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#454545', endColorstr='#333333');
Remove it and the menu should return.
Most of those IE filters can have dramatic effects on the way elements work and I would advise against using them if possible. Just let older browsers degrade nicely.
(That's a lot of code for such a small effect but that seems to be par for the course as far as html5 is concerned these days.)
Thanks as always you are the man!
@Paul thank you man. even i was having the same problem and your suggestion totally worked. Thank you once again

It might be because it looks like something dreamed up for a Tom and Jerry cartoon. It might be the melty nuttiness that makes it the ultimate ingredient for a posh grilled cheese sandwich. Either way, America's hipsterati are digging it, leading to the country importing more Jarlsberg than any other cheese.
In New York, it's on the menu everywhere from grilled cheese pop-up Mrs Dorsey's Kitchen to Village success story Sweet Revenge, not to mention in countless Brooklyn food trucks; you'll find it at legendary Portland food truck Viking Soul Food, or at Melt Mobile in Stamford, Connecticut.
It all seems quite fashion-forward for a cheese that can be traced back to the 1850s, when Norwegian dairy pioneer Anders Larsen Bakke developed a Swiss-style cheese (nutty, meltable and full of holes) in a college dubbed Jarlsberg Manor in the southern county (now Vestfold). Today's secret recipe was created by Ola Martin Ystgaard, a professor at the Agricultural University of Norway, in 1956.
Now it's been embraced by LA chef Eric Greenspan, who took America's coveted Iron Chef title in 2011, and is a grilled cheese god (he twice won the top prize at the annual Grilled Cheese Invitational).
Jarlsberg stars at his latest venture, Greenspan's Grilled Cheese, on Melrose Avenue, including a pairing with smoked salmon. "Jarlsberg passes my first test – it produces a great gooey melt," he says. "And its nutty taste pairs well with really strong flavours – I think it stands up to smoked meats and intense fruit compotes like my favourite apricot-caper concoction.
"I use that with Taleggio, which got me into the whole grilled cheese thing because of its gorgeous texture – and Jarlsberg, I've decided, is the Taleggio of the north." Anders Larsen Bakke would be proud.

"I've learnt something from each of the CEOs I have worked with; they all bring something different to the table," he says.
"The key to surviving is adaptability. You have to adapt to individuals but you also have to adapt as team style changes. Those who can't adapt, don't stay."
Mr Stanhope is retiring at the end of the year, taking with him a piece of the company's history and its last link to when it was a government-run monopoly.
The 60-year-old who joined Telstra's predecessor in 1967 is a shareholders' favourite who played a big role in some of the company's defining moments, including its privatisation sale and the negotiations with the government over the move to the National Broadband Network.
Telstra is going through a radical change from being an owner of network infrastructure to a sales and marketing driven company on an equal footing with many competitors. But Mr Stanhope says it's not necessarily the biggest change the company has been through.
"One thing I've seen working here for 45 years is that the one thing that's constant is change," he says.
"I'm not trying to downplay the importance of what needs to be done, but it's yet another change the company needs to make. It's pretty used to change and we do it fairly well."
This past week, Telstra announced his replacement, the 48-year-old former chief executive of AXA Asia-Pacific, Andy Penn, whose background is almost diametrically opposed to Mr Stanhope's.
Where Mr Stanhope was the ultimate insider, working his way from the mailroom to a seat on the board and the CFO role, Mr Penn has no experience in the telecommunications industry.
"I've known Andy for some time. We were part of the Melbourne CFO fraternity, if you like, so we had a number of discussions with each other over quite a number of years," he says. "I think he's a very professional guy. He has not been in the industry, but I'm sure he'll pick it up very quickly and there are many people here who will help him do that."
Mr Stanhope handled the delicate negotiations with NBN Co and regulators and was posted to exit on a massive high after securing an $11 billion windfall for Telstra shareholders.
Delays mean the deal won't be signed, sealed and delivered until February but Mr Stanhope is satisfied.
"I've had the satisfaction of at least submitting the structural separation undertaking, and the satisfaction of the ACCC saying they are minded to accept it," he says.
He is looking forward to a more subdued lifestyle, but admits he will miss the company where he has spent his entire career.
"I can't remember a weekend in the last 16 years when I haven't had to work. I'm looking forward to those lifestyle changes," he said.
"This has been my life from a 15-year-old kid right through to the age of 60. So, yeah, I'll miss it ."

I have been averaging 1 out of a hundred or so failer to fire with lake city m193 . Some say light primer strike . They look like good primer strikes to me . I would think if the gun was prone to light strikes . i would have more failers to fire then 1 out of 100 .
I also have had two .308 failers in a bolt action recently . One was Tulla and the other was Winchester X "something I forget ( gray box ). both apeared to have good primer stikes .
The other day at the range I had one box of steel cased 223 that I had 3 feed jams and two failers to fire out of 20 rounds . Unfortinately I took them out of the box some time prior to going to the range and I do not remember the brand . I want to say WPA but Im not completly sure . The box was more square then rectangle. Those were the first 20 of the day . I also had 160 rounds of brown bear with me and I did not have one failer to feed or fire with those . Both ammo's fired out of the same gun . I have one AR that I only shoot steel case ammo out of . The rest only brass . Kinda running my own little test .
I have been shooting alot of different ammo out of all of my fire arms . Been trying to find what works best for each .That way I know what to put away for a rainy day
Like I said before , my hand guns don't seem to care . They eat what ever I give them .
Im still working on my AR's . They all love the good stuff ( $20 a box ) But when it comes to the cheeper stuff . They like PMC , Remington UMC , and they really like the Federal AR223 ( black box ) . Now when I say " like " , I mean it goes bang every time and is reasonably accurate ( 2 to 3 MOA at 100 yards ). By saying ( goes bang every time )that to me means it is cycling every time as well or it would just go bang once .
What do you consider is reasonably accurate for a 223/5.56 plinking round under $10 a box ( in MOA ) .With the good stuff ( $20 a box ) the best I can do is 1 MOA with Federal gold metal match al 100 yards using a scope . The majority of my plinking is done with iron sights or a red-dot .
I do not reload at this time but I do keep all my brass for when I do start reloading .
- allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of something that one does not necessarily like or agree with , without interference.
If you have some time IMO this is worth a listen/watch but it takes a few minutes to really get going .

Jonjo Shelvey is willing to play in any position — be it up front, in defense or even in goal — as long as it means he can play for Liverpool.
The 20-year-old has already been tested in a variety of roles by manager Brendan Rodgers so far this season.
He led the line against Young Boys at Anfield in the UEFA Europa League, played down the left flank against Southampton on Saturday and has operated in both attacking and defensive central-midfield positions for the Reds.
"If you play me at left-back, right-back or even in goal I'd be happy because it's Liverpool. I'd play anywhere for this club," Shelvey explained to the official Liverpool monthly magazine.
"I've always been able to get into the box. I should've scored a few more in the last few weeks too. I've got into some good positions but not put the ball in the net. But I think the goals will come.
"I want to stay here for a long time and to be a regular in the team. To do that I know the manager has to be able to rely on me.
"If you look at lads like Stevie [Steven Gerrard] and Carra [Jamie Carragher], they did it when they were my age — they lived up to their billing. I'm trying to do the same. When Liverpool made an offer, accepting it was the easiest choice I have ever had."
Shelvey began his footballing career as part of Arsenal's youth ranks in 2002 before moving on to West Ham and then Charlton, where he played professionally for two seasons.
At Anfield, the midfielder has played 59 games, taking his career total to over 100 despite his tender age of 20.
"I know a lot of my appearances came in the lower leagues but I've played over a century of senior games," he said. "That's nothing compared to some players but it's good experience. I see myself as someone who can help the younger lads.
"When it comes to selecting players to go in the middle for possession exercises at training, it's usually the youngest that goes in first. For the last few years that's always been me. Not any more thankfully. Now it's Raheem [Sterling] instead.
"I can see why people imagine [making the step up to the first team] can be intimidating, but I'd say it's exciting more than anything else.
"What's important is that you don't get carried away. I won't lie — it can go to your head. If it does, you need others to keep you right. I had good pros like Matt Holland, Nicky Baily, Deon Burton and Christian Dailly to look out for me [at Charlton].
"Eventually there comes a point when you need to stand on your own two feet, but that kind of support is very technical. The young lads have come in and done well and the rest of us are there to help them if or when they require help."

Susitna Closed to King Fishing
by admin default ~ June 22nd, 2012
After weak runs, the King Salmon sport fishing has been closed on the Susitna river and its tributaries for the remainder of the season, starting on Monday, June 25th.
The Susitna river joins a list of rivers where closures have already been put in place, including the Kenai, Copper, Yukon.
Area Sport Fishing Biologist Sam Ivey says the department of Fish and Game had hoped this year's returns would be better than they have so far proven to be
Ivey said that after closures on the Little Susitna and Cook Inlet last week due to low runs, they left the upper susitna open only to catch and release fishing. But there hadn't been an increase in numbers farther inland, and fish and game decided to close the rivers to fishing for kings for the season.
Though the fishery is closed, Fish and Game will continue to monitor the runs, and Ivey says there is slim chance that the fishery would re-open.

So lets dam the Susitna. That will help…

This eye pain is because of Curam side effect as I'm taking too long? Or because of nose filler may have moved a bit near to eye side, it's why I have this eye aching? But my eyes don't swell, and not red at all. Just uncomfortable and burning sensation. Please do advise and help me as Im too paranoid.... Thanks
Restylne/Nose/Eye Aching?
Doctor Answers 4
Restylane and swelling/migration
Without understanding or knowing more information on where the product was specifically injected, how much, and why you're taking Curam, it's difficult to answer this question. Following up with the provider is the best way to determine what's happening with your treatment.
Eye pain following treatment with Restylane
If you had Restylane in your nose, it should not migrate and cause eye pain. I would recommend speaking with your physician regarding the issue. You may also want to seek the advice of a board certified opthalmologist if the condition persists. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Problems after Restylane
It's unclear from your post why you are taking the Curam (amoxicillin) and where/when you had the Restylane injected. If you have concerns about your filler, you should get an appointment with your injector for an in-person evaluation as soon as possible.

Stormwater runoff from homes, businesses and public facilities can be a significant source of pollution to the nation's waters, including our creeks and the Napa River. In 1987 Congress began to address this problem by requiring cities and counties to obtain National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. The NPDES permits require cities and counties to develop and implement programs to control the discharge of pollutants both during construction and after the development is completed. Similar permit requirements were required for some industrial facilities (e.g., wineries) and construction sites larger than one acre.

Reading Is Part Of My Breathing ProcessA day without reading is like a day without the sun. I read anything and everything, from Bio to History, Fiction--especially Historical fiction, True crime, Medical thrillers. Just finished ERdwards Rutherfurds, Russka--wonderful book, and started another Historical novel tonight. Without the written word, I would be lost, and as for the Kindle or any other Electronic reader--heck-no, I want to ho;ld this book and turn the page--sorry, don't mean to offend any kindle fans. All I know is, this will be a part of my life until I leave this earth.

ratpoison questions
I have two questions concerning ratpoison. I love the way it manages the windows, and I just need to figure out a couple of ways to do things. Does anyone know a way I can check how much battery (on my laptop) is left by using the terminal? Also, I need to figure out how to get RP to be my default windows manager. Whenever I use switchdesk to switch between desktop environments, it always saves the new one as my default. But since ratpoison isn't a desktop environment, I'm not sure what to do. I'm using Fedora Core 3.
Anyone have answers?
no idea about the desktop stuff, but yuor battery *should* have an acpi entry in /proc/. i can't remember where it normally goes, but it'll normaly be called "battery" so try "find /proc | grep battery" and that should give you a totally cat-able file containing charge levels etc...
Thanks! I tried to do what you said, and there was a directory in the acpi directory called battery. Unfortunately it had nothing in it, even when I pulled out the AC adapter.
Any ideas?
not really, i'm not a big laptop user... are you used to seeing this data in other desktop environments?
Well, in Gnome of course there's the battery icon that you can add to the panel. I haven't used KDE enough to worry about it. XFCE has a plugin. I'm just wondering where they're getting the data from really, so I can check it myself or set up some script to view it or something.

Baghdad, Iraq Car bombs targeting Shiite areas devastated a bustling outdoor market and an auto dealership Tuesday, part of a relentless onslaught that killed 54 people and prompted the United States to deploy more troops to combat insurgents in western Iraq.
The bombs also wounded 120 people, officials said. The death toll made Tuesday one of the bloodiest days in Iraq this month, and lawmakers still had not agreed on who should lead the nation's army and police forces.
Authorities also captured a suspected terrorist who allegedly confessed to beheading hundreds of people. The operation by Iraqi forces also netted documents, cell phones and computers containing information on other wanted terrorists and Islamic extremist groups.
The worst bombing hit the outdoor market as Iraqis were doing their evening shopping in Husseiniyah, about 60 miles north of Baghdad. At least 25 people were killed and 65 were wounded, Interior Ministry spokesman Lt. Col. Falah al-Mohamedawi said.
Hours earlier, a car packed with explosives blew up at a dealership in the largely Shiite city of Hillah, about 60 miles south of Baghdad, killing at least 12 people and wounding 32, Capt. Muthana Khalid said.
A bomb hidden in a plastic bag also detonated outside a bakery in a religiously mixed neighborhood in eastern Baghdad, killing at least nine people and injuring 10, al-Mohamedawi said.
U.S. Deaths
As of Tuesday, at least 2,471 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
Separately, mortar rounds fired by remote control from a car hit the third floor of the heavily guarded Interior Ministry and a nearby park, killing two government employees and wounding three other people.
During May, at least 871 Iraqis have been killed, surpassing the 801 killed in April. The deadliest month this year for Iraqis was March, when 1,038 were killed and 1,155 were wounded.
The deadliest day for Iraqis this month was May 7, when at least 67 civilians were killed.
Tuesday in Iraq
In other developments Tuesday: ¢ The U.S.-led multinational force in Iraq is losing troops from two of its most important allies - Italy and South Korea - and up to a half dozen other members could draw down their forces or pull out entirely by year's end. ¢ The Sunni Arab heart of the Iraqi insurgency seems likely to hold its strength the rest of the year, and the U.S. military command in Baghdad said 1,500 more combat troops have arrived in the country from Kuwait. The need for extra troops reflects a deteriorating security situation in the volatile Anbar province. ¢ A CBS News correspondent seriously wounded by a car bomb that killed two colleagues in Iraq briefly regained consciousness during a flight to Germany, the network said.
Amid the surge in violence, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki held another day of meetings aimed at getting Iraq's ethnic, sectarian and secular factions to agree on new interior and defense ministers.
But the key security posts remained vacant 10 days after al-Maliki's national unity government took office.
The Interior Ministry, which controls the police forces, has been promised to the Shiites. Sunni Arabs are to get the defense ministry, overseeing the army. It is hoped the balance will enable al-Maliki to move ahead with a plan for Iraqis to take over all security duties over the next 18 months so U.S.-led troops can begin withdrawing.
Al-Maliki told the British Broadcasting Corp. his government had a better chance of suppressing the violence than his predecessors because it is the nation's first permanent government since Saddam Hussein fell. "Previous governments were either temporary or transitional. They did not receive full backing from the Iraqi people to deal with this issue," he told the BBC.
The military also said a roadside bomb killed a U.S. soldier Tuesday southeast of Baghdad, while small-arms fire killed an American soldier Monday in Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad.
The bodies of two Marines missing after a helicopter crash in western Iraq over the weekend also were recovered.

Contested plan realigns way of designating endangered species in Pa.
A proposal to add regulatory oversight to the commissions designating endangered species and protected wild trout streams in Pennsylvania has passed out of a key state House committee.
It would give a review board of political appointees final approval over protections for certain species and streams.
Supporters, including natural gas companies and home builders, say it would provide a check and balance to the state's independent commissions now in charge of the process.
But it adds politics to a process of species conservation that now is based on science, said Laura Jackson, a conservationist who attended the hearing with about 15 other activists opposed to the plan.
"This is what the industries want," she said. "They want the authority removed from the Fish and Boat Commission and the Game Commission and they want it now to be under political control."
The bill's sponsor, Republican state Representative Jeff Pyle of Armstrong County, says conservationists shouldn't get carte blanche if the result is stifled industry, countered state Rep. Jeff Pyle, the bill's sponsor.
"If you go back and look at the Game Commission and Fish and Boat [Commission]'s charter, they're not allowed to make any decisions based on economic reasons. But I think in today's economy, and with jobless figures the way they are, it has to be considered," said Pyle, R-Armstrong. "There's a balance to everything."
Supporters also say an amendment to the measure will keep Pennsylvania from losing aboout $27 million federal funding.
That money is in jeopardy because the legislation would remove the commonwealth's conservation programs from being the sole authority over the endangered species designation process.
Jackson says whether federal funding is lost "remains to be seen."
The measure will now go top the full House for a vote.

Salton Sea in California is well known among birders for its breeding populations of waterbird species and the migratory birds each year. Because of changes in the amount of water runoff to the sea, its future as bird habitat is in question. The sea is rapidly evaporating, and its edges are turning into dusty flats. This situation is likely to get worse in the future without active intervention.
With evaporation outpacing incoming agricultural runoff, a thin sheet of water less than an inch deep and 100 yards wide on the east side of the sea's Mullet Island is all that protects tens of thousands of breeding and roosting cormorants, pelicans and herons from coyotes and raccoons....There is currently a lawsuit underway that seeks to remedy some of the problems that were not addressed in a water deal from 2003 that affects the status of the Salton Sea.
Environmental conditions are expected to get much worse in a few years at the Salton Sea, a non-draining body of water with no ability to cleanse itself. The sea was created in 1905, when the Colorado River broke through a silt-laden canal and roared unimpeded for two years into the Salton Sink.
Irrigation runoff traditionally helped stabilize the salinity of the sea, and enabled fish to thrive and make the region a haven for tens of thousands of birds and migratory waterfowl, including endangered species such as peregrine falcons, bald eagles, Yuma clapper rails and pelicans.
As it stands, salinity levels at the Salton Sea are about 50,000 parts per million parts of water, authorities said. By comparison, the salinity level of the Pacific Ocean is about 35,000 ppm.
Long-predicted catastrophic changes may begin to unfold in 2017, after an abrupt decrease in the amount of water flowing to the Salton Sea....
The surface will drop about 20 feet by 2030, Cohen said, shrinking the sea's volume by more than 60% and tripling its salinity. The effects will include the loss of fish and the tens of thousands of birds that eat them. The birds that remain will suffer from disease and reproductive deformities.

KARACHI, Nov 23: The private hospitals in the city are up in arms in the wake of the demand by Sindh Employees Social Security Institution (Sessi) officials for payment of their contribution.
Owners of various hospitals maintain that the officials in recent months had started exerting pressure unnecessarily using the pretext of contribution and sometimes they caused hindrance in the working of the healthcare centres.
Office-bearers of the Private Hospitals and Clinics Association told Dawn that Sessi field officers were harassing staff at healthcare centres to seek payment of social security fund, largely known as Sessi contribution.
They said that Sessi had started collecting the contribution from some hospitals about two years which, according to them, was illegal.
Dr Munawar Ali Anjum and Sami Ahmed, Vice-President and Treasurer of the association, said that during the last two months, the field officers had been frequenting the hospitals in Federal Area and North Karachi, and at times, they would adopt harsh behaviour threatening the smooth working and peaceful environment at the facilities.
If they continued with this practice, it will be difficult for the hospitals to provide essential services at community level, said Dr Sami Ahmed, adding that authorities concerned should intervene to restrain the Sessi officers from indulging in such illegal activities.
They argued that hospitals and other healthcare centres were not included in the list of the industrial or commercial establishments in the West Pakistan Industrial and Commercial Employees (Standing Order) Ordinance, 1968 and, as such, they were not liable to pay the Sessi contribution, particularly because their employees had already been provided medical facilities.
When contacted, Sessi's Director Contribution and Benefits Muhammad Hussain said that hospitals and clinics did fall within the ambit of 'establishments' defined in the said ordinance. Therefore, Sessi had started seeking contribution from such establishments.
In reply to a question, he said that the ordinance was applicable only to such areas, classes of persons, industries or establishments which, after prescribed exercise, are notified by name by the Sindh government for payment of contribution to Sessi.
By virtue of the notification, the liability to pay the contribution did not depended upon issuance of notice, rather it became an automatic affair. "In case of default, the amount of contribution, together with some surcharges, may be recovered as arrears of land revenue," he added.
The Sessi director covering the areas that house the aggrieved hospitals told Dawn that social security officers had earlier surveyed the areas and identified the health facilities' for the purpose of contribution collection. Their report had eventually been submitted to the Sessi's governing body for consideration and then to the Sindh Labour Department for approval. He said that the department would notify from time to time names of the establishments to be covered.
"As soon as the names are notified, we properly inform the new establishment that they are now liable to contribute to the social security fund and, as such, there leaves no room for any highhandedness on the part of Sessi staff."
In reply to a question, he revealed that in its efforts to recover dues, Sessi had recently gone to the extent of attaching properties, including ambulances, of the defaulters.
Regarding the grievances of the Hospitals and Clinics Association, the director offered all assistance saying, that he was open for suggestions and rectification of problems if the association came forward and identified those who might have misbehaved with staff and caused nuisance at any hospital.

Support for smaller states through the carve-up of the $50 billion GST pool should be pared back until eventually all states get only their population share, Victoria has argued.
In a submission to the GST review headed by former premiers John Brumby (Victoria) and Nick Greiner (NSW), Victoria have lashed out at the current system, saying it is no longer "fit for purpose".
The submission, signed by Premier
"We consider that the current method of distribution is failing," the submission says.
"The current system promotes and rewards inefficiency."
Instead, Victoria argues for a variety of changes from tweaks to methodology to a complete overhaul of the logic behind the GST carve-up.
"At a minimum, changes must be made to the current methodology to correct the present anomalies and unintended consequences."
Victoria argues that the overhaul should ensure smaller states can provide an agreed per capita "minimum" level of services rather than an "average" level.
Countries such as Canada and Germany focus more on funding minimum standards, it says.
This was also the original approach to equalisation until after World War II. Once that minimum amount was distributed, any remaining revenue could then be split up on a per-capita basis.
Victoria also calls for changes in the way shifts in data are applied to reduce volatility.
The state, which suffered a major downward revision in its GST take earlier this year, also canvassed more drastic change, including the creation of a two-tiered four-in, four-out scheme.
That system would see the four smaller states awarded enough GST to meet their needs and the remainder then split between the four biggest or "donor" states on the basis of their population share.
Another option would be to set aside a fixed amount of the pool – Victoria suggests 80 per cent – to be carved up on the basis of population and then allow the sharing out of the remainder based on the relative strengths of the states.
Either of these methods would be good steps in the transition to a "long-term aspiration" of fully population-determined share.
"The GST should be distributed on an equal per capita basis, with particular policy challenges dealt with separately through targeted and accountable means," the submission says. "EPC can be seen as the end point for horizontal fiscal compensation, reflecting the convergence of all jurisdictions as their economies mature and their citizens reflect similar profiles in terms of service delivery requirements."
The South Australian submission, also released yesterday, rejects any move from a goal of funding "average" levels of service across the nation.
"Government services are provided to those who need them, not just to those who generate the tax revenue which funds them," it says.
The South Australian submission also rejects the ideas of trying to put a "floor" under the relativities and dismisses criticism of the existing system for being too complex, arguing that it grapples with a complicated task.
Tasmania's submission likewise largely backs the existing system, arguing that concerns over methodology can be addressed without the need for a fundamental overhaul of the GST's principles.

This is McCain's preferred debating weapon:
And this is what he looked like during the debate:
While at the end, this is how Obama looked:
But McCain got a hug in the end…
And this is what he looked like during the debate:
While at the end, this is how Obama looked:
But McCain got a hug in the end…
CNN had this weird little approval/agreement meter, split into Democrats, Republicans and independents. The only time the independents followed the Republicans was when someone was talking about how they supported the troops. McCain lost them on Afghanistan. Obama had them talking about the start of the Iraq war.
Now, if only the unpolled independents follow the focus group.
Ah, Greg, your partisan bias is showing. 🙂 Don't get me wrong, I'm voting for Obama all the way come November. But McCain didn't crash and burn. Then again, neither did Obama. Neither one really shone — despite the fact that McCain is widely touted as being an excellent debater, and Obama generally acknowledged to be out of his milieu in a debate — so I think it was pretty much a draw, maybe a slight edge to Obama among Independent voters, at least, because I think this shows that for all the "inexperienced" nonsense, he can hold his own against an old war dog just fine.
That said, it was SUCH a relief to see some actual substantive questions being asked — even if the candidates didn't always answer them directly. I get it: it's their biggest forum, they only have 2 minutes each, etc., so they're gonna make sure to hammer home their talking points.
Jennifer – that's exactly the reason that I don't care much for presidential debates. They are like joint campaign appearances. I was at a debate party in 2004 and a reporter asked me at the end who I thought was the winner. I pointed to my Kerry lapel pin and asked her "What do you think I am going to say?"
I have a feeling Obama knows exactly what he is doing. He did fine tonight and if he feels the polls warrant it, he may up the pressure in future debates. McCain would not look at Obama making McCain seem afraid, and his body language was far from confident. Obama is playing a very careful game here, not taking unnecessary risks. I think he did not pound McCain tonight because doing so might have backfired. He runs his campaign carefully like a future president should.
Also didn't care for Obama's statements with no substance. Such as "I care deeply for the troops and they know I love them, so they know I'll take care of them."
You mean McCain here. McCain said that. I was disappointed that Obama did not walk across the stage and slap that man around more. For instance, in this case, Obama could have pointed out that the veterans groups have endorsed Obama, not McCain.
Jennifer: I admit that I compiled this post during the first ten minutes of the debate and that it was an entirely partisan act. But actually, on further analysis, McCain actually did pretty badly: McCain was supposed to be Mr Foreign Policy to Obama's vast ignorance on foreign policy. In stead, they came out about even except McCain made to ENORMOUS goofs that you don't want your president making. 1) he revealed a secret under pressure (that the US has actually been torturing people …. we knew that of course, but those in the inside have never admitted it) and 2) he could not pronounce the name of a foreign leader. Oh, and 3) he classified Pakistan as a "failed state" but it is not. Those errors may not have been as obvious during the debate but these are the kinds of things that will have long term consequences. If he is elected, he will have to explain these things, apologize for these things, fix these things, more than once, and the whole world will be waiting for the next goof.
More bush, basically.
Obama and Lehrer were very presidential looking.
You are correct Greg, I just re-read what I wrote and meant McCain…
I think Obama showed people he can hold is own even with little experience in the US Senate. I think McCain came off looking like somewhat of an ass and Obama defended himself well when McCain called him out.
One more reason why Obama is wrong for America.
Eat Crow? Hell Yes, to Win This Election
If you've been an outspoken Obama supporter from the beginning, it's time to make amends with Hillary supporters you know. Arguing with, or browbeating them to get on board is counterproductive, but showing you've come around to respecting Hillary may ease their hurt enough to do the trick. (Even if you don't mean it. This is politics.)
Ed Brayton hit the nail on the head – " I predict that almost everyone who supports Obama will think that Obama won the debate. I predict that almost everyone who supports McCain will think that McCain won the debate. Lastly, I predict that both sides will think the other side is clearly delusional and terribly un-objective in thinking that."
Joel, you left out the part where Obama is wrong for America. This is about why he's right for the Clinton voters, even if it takes tact to talk about it.
Ed is right, but with all due respect for him, I can't give him a lot of credit here for original or insightful thinking. In other words, "duh!"
There is a way to win or lose a debate, and that could happen, but it rarely dies. The debate is like the qualifying runs or analogous activites for an Olympic game. They all get on the parallel bars and do something good enough to go on to the next round but not hard enough to fall off and lose.
Every now and then someone falls off and looses.
What really happens is that things occur during the debates that can be used by each campaign, and we'll see how that goes. I do think that McCain made three palpable gaffs that could be used against him, and Obama made none. These gaffs of McCain's are not that big, though, so we'll see how it goes.
The WSJ is calling McCain the winner in foreign affairs, and Obama the winner on the Economy, as of moments ago.
So, Obama wins in the big newspapers. Which no one reads any more, of course.
I listened to the debate first, and then watched a recording before hearing other peoples opinions. My big complaint is that we were half an hour into the debate before foreign policy was mentioned.
With audio only, McCain edged out Obama (who, I thought, did a lot better than I expected). McCain's gaffes and occassional obvious insincerity lost him points which prevented a romp and his last-word tirade didn't help much. Obama gained points for his knowledge which would stand him in good stead as he builds experience.
After watching it, I founding McCain's body language left an impression of a tired old man who could barely restrain his temper. Obama's appearance was cool and diplomatic.
A major point for me was McCain's claim of bipartisanship while only Obama exhibited bipartisan behaviour.
So…a tie.
Martin: See my latest post. Obama won, it turns out.
Listening then watching must have been an interesting experience.
I guess McCain will be a winner in comparison with George Bush because of the fact that he can articulate a sentence. That's probably good enough for the Republicans.
I wonder how much McCain's initial intention to not participate in the debate has affected the outcome.
Mike: Maybe, or that could be very scary for them. McCain is just showing off, making sentences and all.
"But McCain got a hug in the end…"
I first saw that as "McCain got hung in the end…"
Don't you think the plane crash scene is in slightly bad taste? Funny? But in bad taste?
Elizabeth: You know, it took me a moment to figure out what you are talking about. That honestly had not occurred to me, at least not consciously. Ooops.
Not changing it, though.
You mean McCain here. McCain said that. I was disappointed that Obama did not walk across the stage and slap that man around more. For instance, in this case, Obama could have pointed out that the veterans groups have endorsed Obama, not McCain.
I share your sentiment, but someone who is not a veteran must be very careful in criticizing someone who is a veteran, and a POW, on any issue related to the military. It's thin ice.
I liked the part where McCain criticized Obama on the incursions into Pakistan, insisting that you shouldn't say such things out loud, and Obama returned fire by noting that a) this practice is now current policy for our forces in Afghanistan (as well as being openly reported in the media) and b) McCain had done stupid things like singing "bomb bomb Iran."
Speaking as objectively as I can as an Obama supporter, Obama had the edge on the economics questions, and McCain did show more experience on foreign affairs/military issues. However, McCain came across as more hawkish in a dinosaurian, cold warrior sort of way.
In the closing statement, as a parting shot with no evidential backup, McCain use the line that Obama is inexperienced. I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to the VP debate.
I noticed how, at the very beginning, McCain talked about how tired he was. I imagine he was doing the traditional lowering of expectations, but grandpa should be careful or people might notice how old he is. At least he didn't start drooling while on camera.
Such as "I care deeply for the troops and they know I love them, so they know I'll take care of them."
Err, I'm quite certain that was a McCain line.
If it was only one plane, it might be poor taste but, he did five correct?
Maintenance Ace McSame, I think that is what they called him.
I support Obama all the way. But after watching the debates last night, I think the result was bascially a "draw". OTOH, people were asked to grade the two of them on CNN. Obama got a B grade, but McCain got a D.
Anne G
I write about science, science policy, science education, politics and science, politics, and technology.
The science is mostly climate change, life science, evolution, and science education. The science policy and politics is mostly about climate change and the evolution-creationism false controversy. The technology is mostly about Linux, regular normal person computer use, kids programming, and now and then, household items.
As an Anthropologist and Africanist, I often write about those topics as well.
Usually, I write about one or two topics for a while then shift to something different. This is not systematic, and has to do with context and external forces such as: Is this a presidential election year? Are we having an El Nino? Is there a fight going on somewhere about teaching creationism in a public school? Did I just get a cool new robot toy? Like that.
So, if you don't find the most recent few posts interesting, have a look at the topics below. But, of course, chances are you got here with a Google search and you'll never read this "about" thing.

FOP Poll - Tulsans Want More Cops
In the field their decisions are often made in the blink of an eye, but when it came to picking a candidate to back for mayor...
"We decided we couldn't endorse just one," said FOP president Clay Ballenger.
The Tulsa Fraternal Order of police, keeping their options open, and doling out praise equally.
"They all had their strong points, we think they're all strong leaders. I think they understand our issues and we think we can work with all of them," he said.
How do the candidates feel about a lack of a single endorsement?
"It's no big deal really, the FOP and I have had a great relationship over the years,"said Bill Christiansen.
"I actually like the fact that they didn't endorse because they're putting the police priorities ahead of politics and I think it's a great thing," said Bartlett campaign manager Daniel Patten.
To get a glimpse of what Tulsans think about the candidates, the FOP commissioned of a poll of 500 likely voters, from April 15 to 16th, which found Taylor slightly ahead of Bartlett, who was ahead of Christiansen.
"I think this next 30 days will turn the tide and I'll be successful," said Christiansen.
"We've seen in kind of some of our personal polls a shift further in our direction," said Bartlett.
From the Bartlett camp, a view of Christiansen as a voter drain, and that if he wasn't in this race...
"If Christiansen wasn't in this I'd have 33 days of employment left," said Patten.
"Well, I am of the opinion that if I weren't in this race, Kathy Taylor would be the mayor in 30 days, no question about it, no doubt in my mind," said Christiansen.

Belfast Harlequins are aiming the break the stranglehold that Ulster's top five teams have had on qualification to the Irish Hockey League since its inception six years ago.
Lisnagarvey, Banbridge, Cookstown, Instonians and Annadale have taken it as read that they will be playing IHL hockey every season, but things could just be about to change this season.
Harlequins had a great start to their league campaign, beating Civil Service in the opening game. But losing their top goal scorer, Luke McClelland was a blow for the club.
However, McClelland has just returned and his timing is a massive shot in the arm for Harlequins.
With three games in hand over Annadale, who are currently in fifth place, Harlequins really fancy their chances of taking the fifth spot and getting into the IHL next season, where they will play against some of Ireland top clubs.
And with a home game against Annadale next week, an upset could well be on the cards.
Harlequins only earned promotion to the premier league back in 2011. That promotion has acted as the catalyst for development and growth ever since, as they concentrate at staying in the top flight, which has always been their priority.
The junior side of the club has grown, with the seconds now playing in Junior 1 and this year they recently added a 4th XI team, so things are really booming at the Deramore Park club.
They recently dug up the sand based pitch and laid a new pitch, which has been a massive help to their development this season.
The last few years have of course been tough in the top flight, but the squad have worked hard and continue to learn and progress.
This year several new faces joined the Deramore set up - Ivan Steen (Cookstown), Adam Louden (Instonians), Richard McMillan (Bangor) and a new 1st XI keeper Luke Campbell from Lisnagarvey.
Former Irish International Ivan Steen's arrival was a massive coup for the club, as his Premiership experience has been great to have on board this year and others in the squad have been learning from him.
But it is not only the new arrivals that have taken the club to where they are today. Credit must also go Harlequins hardened stalwarts -Robin Quigley, Andrew Smythe, Chris Lemon, Iain Kelly, John Metcalfe and Karl Patterson, who have been with the Club from the start of its journey.
The team now have an opportunity to take another huge step forward, by qualifying for next years' IHL.
However, it is under the guidance of their coach, Jonny Caren, who has had the vision that the club could one day play in the IHL and that day could be just around the corner.
Caren was a former Methody schoolboy, so has a long association with the club. He moved to Australia for ten years, where he developed his coaching skills and coached state level at New South Wales before returning home
Caren is one of the most promising coaches in Irish hockey and he is also the Irish Under 21 coach. He is having a really busy week, as Ireland are playing in this week's 4-Nation tournament at Mossley, and he knows that the next few weeks are crucial and could be history making for the Deramore Park Club.
He said: "Its been great to the see new lads coming in, the attitude of the squad this season has been fantastic and the dynamics we have in the squad are first rate.
"We have five games left that we know are going to be tough, but we are looking forward to the challenge.
"We want to be a top club in Ulster and Ireland and we know that won't happen overnight. Our run in starts with Annadale and it's a game we need to win."
But it's not only Annadale that Harlequins have to worry about, they have a crunch game against Mossley, who also have hankerings of qualifying to the IHL.
Mossley are on the same points as Harlequins but have played one more game. They also have to play Lisnagarvey who are in a title contest against Banbridge, so they will not be holding back as they go in search for points and goals.
Mossley's remaining games are against Cookstown and Raphoe. Raphoe will be looking to avoid the automatic relegation slot, so points could be difficult to find in that one.
Kilkeel also could have their eyes on the IHL target, as they are also tied on thirteen points with Harlequins and Mossley but with one less game than Harlequins.
However, Kilkeel look to have the more difficult run in, as they have to play the title chasers – Lisnagarvey away and Banbridge at home and both sides will be out to rattle as many goals home as they can.
They also have to play Civil Service and Service are hoping to avoid the automatic drop back to Senior One, so that won't be an easy one either.
This has been one of the tightest season's for a long time. The title is finely balanced and could go either way between Garvey and Bann. And the relegation battle isn't over just yet either, as Raphoe and Service hope to avoid the automatic drop.
But it's fifth place that for once is not the foregone conclusion it normally is. The pendulum has swung in Harlequins favour, but it could so easily swing to one of the other three clubs still in the hunt.
Isn't this what sport is all about….going to the wire!

Yearly exams are essential to maintaining a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, or VCPR. This type of relationship allows your veterinarian to know your pet well enough to be able to diagnose and treat medical conditions. Without a VCPR, your veterinarian cannot prescribe medications or make recommendations about her health.
If you've ever let your wellness checkups lapse accidentally, and then called your veterinarian to get a new prescription, you likely ran into trouble. Without having seen your pet within the past year, it would be unethical (and in many states illegal) for your veterinarian to make decisions about your pet's health.
The VCPR is valid only when it is maintained by regular checkups and a veterinarian examines your pet in person. Discussing your pet over the phone or through e-mail is not sufficient to sustain a VCPR.
I am going on and on about valid veterinarian-client-patient relationships because I really want to drive home how important they are. If your pet was my patient, without seeing her on a regular basis I don't have the information I need to make good decisions about her medical conditions. And, in my state, it would be illegal for me to do so, according to my state's Veterinary Practice Act.
Ensuring regular checkups ensures that your pet is getting the very best care possible. When veterinarians ask you to maintain valid VCPRs, it has nothing to do with trying to make more money or making your life difficult, but has everything to do with being the best doctor they can be and valuing your pet's health above all else.

I really agree with this message. I was fortunate enough to find a vet very close to my home. They were open and very responsive when my cat swallowed her toy--saved her life really! Now I go to no one else, even though it might be less expensive. My vet knows my cats very well now. You can't replace that trust and reliability.
I think it's also important to remember that the vet needs to develop a good relationship with the pet owner as well. Vets need to understand that the owner ultimately knows their pet best. I may not know all of the inner workings of my kitties but I am sure to know if they are not their usual selves. In turn the vet should be able to rely on the pet owner for accurate information about their pet. I know that that isn't always the case.

text: Caselli and Dietrich Gunning For WORCS Title | October 18, 2010The final round of the WORCS series is coming to the wire with a showdown between two great off road racers, both former WORCS Champions. KTM/FMF's Kurt Caselli started the season with the philosophy that winning the WORCS Championship meant being on the podium every single round. That's what Kurt did and it appeared to be working until Monster energy Kawasaki's Ricky Dietrich put together three wins in four rounds to take over the point's chase. That's when Caselli decided that he had to win a few races himself and put together back to back wins in the two Washington rounds.Then, in round nine, Ricky and Kurt collided while battling for second place. Both riders went down, both got up and finished, with Caselli taking second and Dietrich third.Now with only the final round left coming up on October 24th in Mesquite, Nevada, Kurt Caselli leads with 201 points and a record of 3-1-3-2-3-2-1-1-2. Dietrich is close behind with 195 points and a record of 5-3-1-3-1-1-2-2-3.In the WORCS Series a Pro rider earns 25 points for first, 22 for second, 20 for third, 18 for fourth, 16 for fifth and 15 for sixth place. Caselli leads by six points; therefore if Dietrich wins he will finish with 220 points/4 wins. If Caselli finishes anywhere on the podium (as he has all season) he will finish the series with 221/3 wins (supposing a third place finish at Mesquite) or 223/3 wins (supposing a second place finish at Mesquite). Either way, Caselli will take the 2010 WORCS Championship if he finishes on the podium. Therefore, Dietrich has to win and Caselli finish no better than fourth in which case Dietrich would win the title with 220 over Caselli's 219.Dietrich has to put two riders between him and Caselli and there are a lot of spoilers in the race who could do just that. Mike Brown is hot, just coming off his second win of the series in Glen Helen. There is also Justin Soule with a string of podiums and the drive to win his first WORCS National. Taylor Robert (the only rider beside Caselli, Dietrich, and Brown to win a WORCS National this year) is back and eager to be on top of the box again. Colton Udall is looking for his first podium in the WORCS Series and Husky's Bobby Garrison and Husaberg's Nathan Woods would also like to be up on the podium in the final.Of course, Caselli, who is a desert specialist, might just win the WORCS final himself and put an end to all the mathematic supposition. Either way, the WORCS final will be a dogfight from start to finish with the Championship on the line, bonuses, and contracts; this will be a race not to be missed.By Joe Colombero Comments

In 2012, as part of a commitment to reduce food waste and recognize the opportunity to help alleviate poverty in the UK, Tesco strengthened its partnership with FareShare by ensuring surplus food within its supply chain is used to feed people.
The partnership with FareShare is perfectly aligned with Tesco's CSR objectives to both reduce food waste and support local communities, as the surplus food Tesco provides is redistributed by FareShare to thousands of charities and community groups across the country.
Supply Chain Solution:
Tesco's surplus food redistribution initially started with an opportunity in their online grocery business. In stores fulfilling online orders only, food cannot be reduced to clear, potentially leading to surplus. This surplus is identified daily and split between a staff shop and FareShare. A successful trial saw Tesco.com vans from all six online grocery stores in and around the M25 delivering food out to FareShare's Deptford and Brighton-based Regional Centres daily.
Following the success of the online grocery roll-out, Tesco moved on to identify the ability to divert surplus food from within their Fresh Supply Chain to FareShare. Tesco recognised the importance of identifying Fresh surplus food as early as possible to ensure the longest life for redistribution. FareShare now receive surplus food from all eleven Tesco Fresh Distribution Centres, including fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, dairy and chilled ready-meals.
After maximising this opportunity, Tesco turned their attention to their ambient surplus. From the autumn of 2015, Tesco Grocery distribution centres began delivering surplus to FareShare regional centres. This food includes dry ambient goods like rice and pasta, tins and jars and other store cupboard essentials.

Supplier Network:
To help increase the volume of food reaching the FareShare network even further, Tesco have introduced FareShare to their supplier base as the recommended solution for creating social value from their surplus stock. This has in turn, led to new food manufacturers and producers partnering with FareShare to redistribute their surplus products, providing even more meals to people in need.
Store-Level Solution:
To combat food waste appearing at store level, Tesco partnered with FareShare and Irish social enterprise FoodCloud to roll out brand new scheme called FareShare FoodCloud. Combining innovative technology with on the ground support, FareShare FoodCloud is a simple and safe solution for redistributing store-level surplus food to people who need it. Once charities have registered for the scheme and been matched with a participating store, they are notified about unsold food by text message and can then collect the food free of charge.
After a successful pilot in London in June 2015, FareShare FoodCloud is being rolled-out to all UK Tesco stores, with the target for the scheme to be live in all Tesco stores by the end of 2017. Charities and community projects can register their interest here.
Tesco Customers:
Since 2012, Tesco has hosted the Neighbourhood Food Collection twice a year in partnership with FareShare and the Trussell Trust. Working together, volunteers and Tesco staff encourage customers to donate food at collection points in Tesco stores across the country in what is now the biggest food collection in the UK. The Neighbourhood Food Collection allows FareShare access to long-life cupboard essentials that complement the predominantly fresh food that we get from Tesco and other food partners.
Following the success of the Neighbourhood Food Collection, Tesco have installed Permanent Collection Points (PCPs) for FareShare at over 140 stores across the country. Tesco shoppers can now donate food during their shop to help feed people in need 365 days a year.
Since our partnership began and taking into account all of their distribution channels, Tesco and their customers have provided enough food to make 16.4 million meals for vulnerable people across the country. Our work with Tesco demonstrates how the retailer has taken a pragmatic and pro-active approach to maximising the surplus food distribution across all parts of their operation, creating a huge social benefit to communities across the UK.
Lindsay Boswell, Chief Executive of FareShare says: "Tesco has demonstrated real leadership in tackling food waste. Over and above the large volumes of surplus food they provide us, Tesco should be applauded for how they have embedded FareShare into all aspects their business – from distribution centres to stores and fresh food to ambient. Tesco's level of commitment to using their surplus food for social good, has helped provide millions of meals for vulnerable people across the UK."

text: I apologize for being a little unrelated to the original topic of this discussion: I don't use sparse matrices a lot, so this specific `dot` problem is not an issue for me. However, I noticed that when I first joined this mailing list there seemed to be a strong agreement among the subscribers that `A.dot(B)` is "evil". IIRC the argument was something similar to "there should be only one obvious way". Now I'm confused that everyone seems to be in favor of the (re-)addition of `A.dot(B)`: Consider the following piece of code: -------------- start code ---------------- import numpy def generic_func(A,B): return numpy.dot(A,B) A = numpy.ones((2,2)) B = [1,2] C = generic_func(A,B) D = generic_func(A,B) -------------- end code ---------------- This is a rather generic code that can operate on `array_like` objects. Since `list` does not have a dot method, the use of A.dot(B) would be less generic. Wouldn't it be much more convenient if `numpy.dot` were designed such that `A` could also be a sparse matrix instead of adding a `dot` method? regards, Sebastian On Sun, Nov 28, 2010 at 4:32 PM, Gael Varoquaux <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > On Sun, Nov 28, 2010 at 03:16:19PM +0000, Pauli Virtanen wrote: >> However, I believe 'dot' should be left to be there. `ndarrays` recently >> gained the same method for matrix products, so it makes sense to leave it >> be also for sparse matrices.

New evidence questions sentences in Fuller murder
Startling new information has emerged on a high-profile local murder case. Eight men were convicted in the rape and murder of a woman in broad daylight. New information may show they are innocent.
Barbra Wade is recalling how her sister Catherine Fuller was murdered almost three decades ago.
"They didn't have to go that far. You don't brutalize somebody, and that's what they did to her," Wade said.
Fuller was walking to the store to pick up groceries for an elderly neighbor when she was grabbed at the corner of 8th and H Streets Northeast and taken into an alley where she was beaten, raped and sodomized with a metal pipe.
Seventeen people were arrested in what was described as one of the most brutal gang crimes of the time.
"It made the average citizen feel completely unsafe in their own neighborhoods," said Lillian McKewen, one of the suspect's attorneys.
Of the eight men who were convicted, six are still in jail. They will be back in a D.C. courtroom later this year. But new evidence could prove they didn't commit the crime. DNA that couldn't be tested three decades ago is in a lab.
Two other men may have committed the murder. Four of the witness who testified 27 years ago now say they lied. In sworn affidavits the witnesses say police and prosecutors forced them to lie, threatening them with stiff jail sentences if they refused.
There's evidence the police knew about two men who were seen leaving the murder scene. One of those men was later convicted of killing a witness to the Fuller murder, but prosecutors never told the defendants.
Levi Rouse was one of the men convicted. He said the jury verdict 27 years ago made him feel like his life was over.
Fuller's sister Wade she's sure the right men are behind bars.
Some of the defense lawyers in the original case have gone on to have very successful careers. Lilian McKewen a former administrative law judge, just wrote a book about her relationship with Justice Clarence Thomas, and Greta van Susteren is a Fox Network host. A superior court judge will hear the evidence in November.

[Star of the Week] Super Junior′s Choi Siwon
While Super Junior was named our Star of the Week some time ago, it seemed only fitting to highlight member Choi Siwon, who′s been stepping up his game as an all-around triple threat.
The Super Junior member has acted in lead roles before, but it′s his turn as Kang Hyun Min, a secondary character in the drama The King of Dramas, that′s been bringing him the most compliments on his acting.
Thanks to his complete willingness to throw his suave image away, Choi Siwon has been stealing scenes in the drama filled with major names.
Of course, it doesn′t hurt that he′s nearly always in the center of the Super Junior line-up, has a more than impressive following on his Twitter account, and basically looks good enough to be molded into wax.
Oh yea, and he′s kind of a sweetheart.
Make sure to check in today for more special features on Choi Siwon!

Despite an appealing proposal for 55-plus cooperative housing north of city hall, the Anoka City Council has put the brakes on development of city-owned property in the Historic Rum River District while it retools its plans.
The council had long hoped for a mixed use scenario on the river, including retail on the main level with residential above.
It has also been a goal to have a riverfront restaurant.
But neither of those wish-list items were included when Lifestyle Communities and Ecumen pitched a 61-unit senior cooperative building along the Rum River.
"We considered the vertical mixed use and we looked really hard at that," said Tim Nichol of Lifestyle Communities.
But he said living above retail stores wasn't something they felt the 55-plus buyers of the cooperative units would want, suggesting the vacant land north of the city's parking ramp as a better site for commercial development.
He described those buyers as being active and involved, moving into a condo because it suits their lifestyle and they want to, not because they need to.
"This is not senior living," he said.
While the concept was well received by the council, some members balked at the location.
At a work session in April, Councilmember Mark Freeburg said he had concerns about the cooperative on this particular site, including the intrusive height of the building and a lack of parking.
"That's a prime spot for us," Freeburg said of the riverfront property. "We've always had our thoughts on something different there."
Councilmember Jeff Weaver shared Freeburg's concerns over the building's height, which would block the view of the river.
"I like the product and I think there's a place for it in Anoka," Weaver said.
There was also much discussion about parking, with Weaver noting that there were only four or five of the 99 spots open on a recent weekend.
"I have concerns that we're not ready to displace 99 people," Weaver said.
But Mayor Phil Rice said if the city wants that land to be a parking lot, "then we ought to take the 'for sale' sign down."
Since then, the city has formed the Historic Rum River District Planning Committee, which Economic Development Manager ErikThorvig said will take another look at plans for the city-owned parcels once planned to be developed by Rottlund Homes.
"We decided it might be time to take a look again at sites one and two because there wasn't a consensus as far as what should go there," Thorvig said.
Decided on a coin toss between Councilmembers Freeburg and Weaver, both interested in sitting on the committee, Freeburg will represent the council, along with city staff and representatives from the Planning Commission, Economic Development Commission, Park Board, Anoka Business and Landowners Association, Anoka Area Chamber of Commerce, and a resident of the Historic Rum River District condo development.
According to Thorvig, the group will start meeting in July and plans to have a vision by the end of the year that will address land use, building size and parking demands.
According to Thorvig, planning for the area dates back to the 1990s when property acquisition began, which was followed up by a Heart of Anoka committee formed in the early 2000s.
A master plan was established in 2006.
Because the council did like the development proposal but had concerns about the site, Thorvig said talks would continue with the group to look at other alternatives within the community.
During open forum at a recent council meeting, an Anoka resident said he hoped the council would approve a development that includes a senior co-op, that it was just what the community needed and the type of housing he would be interested in buying.
