To prevent actual or apparent favoritism, bias, coercion, exploitation,
conflicts of interest and other problems arising from unequal consensual
students who are also in supervisory relationships as defined by this
Policy Statement:Because of the inherent risk of impropriety or harm, Lesley University prohibits unequal consensual romantic or sexual relationships between employees and students. Lesley also prohibits unequal consensual romantic or sexual relationships between employees when one of those individual has an advisory, supervisory, or managerial responsibility over the other (collectively, "supervisory relationships," defined below). Definition of Supervisory Relationship:For the purpose of this policy, a "supervisory relationship" is defined broadly. Supervisor in a supervisory relationship is defined as the individual who has an educational, advisory, or managerial responsibility over the other. Supervisory relationships include, but are not limited to,
These examples are illustrative but not exclusive. Supervisory relationships may be formal or informal.Report an Incident to any one of these Lesley University officers:Dr. Barbara J.

Nathaniel MaysDean of Student Life and Academic Development29 Everett StreetCambridge MA 02138617.349.8538Email: email@example.com officers were selected to provide all members of the Lesley community with the opportunity to initiate a complaint in a place in which they feel comfortable doing so. If the complaint is against one of the three designated University Officers listed in this policy, the complaint may be initiated with one of the other officers. Manager Responsibility:Any manager who receives a complaint or otherwise learns of a relationship prohibited by this policy must immediately contact one of the three University officers listed above.A manager's failure to promptly report a relationship prohibited by this policy may warrant disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from employment at the University. A manager's failure to report may also lead to personal liability under law. Employee and Student Responsibility:Everyone at Lesley University has the responsibility to assure that romantic or sexual relationships between individuals in unequal positions are not common practice in our environment so that everyone feels safe. In these kinds of relationships there are potential conflicts of interest, exploitation, favoritism, and bias. Furthermore, the relationship may be less consensual and perceived in a different way by each of the parties to it, especially in retrospect.Lesley University expects members of our community to avoid any behavior that could reasonably be interpreted as a violation of this policy and to immediately report any suspected violations.Employees have additional responsibilities. In situations where two employees in a direct reporting line become romantically or sexually involved, both parties are required to disclose their relationship to the Director of Human Resources. One of the individuals will be required to move to a different supervisory line within thirty (30) days of the disclosure. Failure to comply with this disclosure requirement is a violation of this policy and grounds for appropriate corrective action, up to and including dismissal from employment with the University. Reporting a Violation of this Policy:Reports of a violation of this policy should be submitted verbally or in writing and can be made to anyone in a managerial position, e.g. Chair, Deans, Division Director, Department Head, Director, or Vice President, or specifically to one of the University officers listed above.
Investigation of Complaints:Lesley University will promptly and fairly investigate all reports of relationships that may violate this policy and will do so in accordance with Lesley University's Complaint Resolution Procedures.Protection Against Retaliation:Lesley strictly prohibits any form of retaliation against a student or employee who in good faith submits a report of a possible violation of this policy or who cooperates in the investigation of a report. Confidentiality:Reasonable efforts are be made to protect the privacy and confidences of all parties during the investigation without compromising the thoroughness of the investigation or fairness to the parties, and consistent with and subject to the University's need to investigate the complaint and/or implement any disciplinary action. Corrective Action:Every report of a violation of this policy will be investigated and corrective action will be taken where appropriate. Any such action can lead to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the University educational programs or dismissal from employment with the University. Duty of Good Faith:Lesley University prohibits any member of the Lesley community from knowingly or recklessly bringing a false complaint against another member of the Lesley community.Lesley University is an equal opportunity, affirmative action educator and employer. The foregoing Unequal Consensual Relationship Policy is designed to enhance access to and understanding of Lesley's policies and is not intended to create a contract between Lesley and its employees or other persons. Lesley reserves the right to amend or revoke its policies at any time without notice.Signed May 18, 2012Joseph B.

We at Hackulous have decided to open up the beta version of Crackulous for the entire community. If you haven't already heard about Crackulous, it's an amazing application dedicated to the iPhone community to cracking apps. Crackulous was first started by SaladFork, and now the application is being developed by Angel. We've decided to release Crackulous v.9 as an Open Beta, so anyone can try it out!
* Full GUI version of xCrack! No Complications!
* Crack Applications from the App Store! Share them with the community!
* The ONLY Application of its kind!
* The most POWERFUL and EASIEST to use application!
* Crack multiple apps at one time!
* It's free! Why would we charge?
The application is hosted on the Hackulous Cydia Repo (---------) for easy installation. Use requires at least one legitimate app from the App Store.
This is called piracy and a huge punch in the face toward apple!
I took out the cydia source just because this is oh so evil lol
I can see some lawsuits happening now......

Total prep time: about 15 minutes
Total cook time: 5 minutes
We are a "take your lunch to work" family. We weren't always that way. It is so tempting to get out of the office and grab something from a fast food restaurant. As we've gotten older we've been more cognizant of what we are putting in our bodies. Both my husband and I have a terrible family history when it comes to cancer, diabetes, etc. So over the past year, we've been trying to eat healthier, exercise more, blah-blah-blah. The blahs are in reference to just how dreary it can be to eat healthy as well as find time to exercise. However – you can absolutely tell a difference in how you feel. That's not to say we don't enjoy our sweets (just refer all of my brownie and cookie posts!). We just try to limit how many we eat and balance it out with some exercise. I do love this recipe because it is healthy and easy to make. It makes a great side item and it keeps well in a lunchbox (with a little cold pack). It's high in protein and low in cholesterol, sugar and sodium. What is the best thing about this recipe? It is all of those "healthy" things and it is absolutely delicious too.
Here is what you will need:
2 cups of frozen edamame (sweet soybeans)
1, 15 oz can of garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
1, 15 oz can of dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
¼ cup red onion sliced very thin
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon lime zest
¼ cup lime juice
½ teaspoon salt
The Instructions:
Cook your edamame according to package directions (you can find these in the freezer aisle at any grocery store – look in the frozen vegetables section). After they are cooked, drain them and rinse thoroughly with cold water.
In a large bowl, add the soybeans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, onion and cilantro. Stir gently to combine. In a separate, glass bowl combine the olive oil, lime zest and lime juice and salt together – stir vigorously to thoroughly combine them.
Toss the bean mixture with your dressing and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours before serving. Make sure you stir it/mix it before you serve it. You can also top it with some fresh chopped cilantro if you want. I like to store mine in a large Tupperware so that I can just shake the entire container before I open it. Everything gets mixed up nicely without the extra step of stirring it.

Overclock NVIDIA G210M & NVIDIA 9400G M GPU's In A Dell Studio XPS 1340Posted by alex in Insights
This weekend I was investigating the capabilities of the two NVIDIA graphics cards in my laptop and a password cracking application called oclHashcat. The oclHashcat application uses OpenCL, the Open Computing Language, to utilize the processing power of your graphics cards GPU's to crack passwords. My laptop is a Dell Studio XPS 1340 which utilizes Hybrid SLI technology to offer a good amount of graphics power while using the least amount of battery life possible. The laptop accomplishes this by mostly using an NVIDIA graphics card, which is a NVIDIA 9400G M, that is installed on the motherboard and only calling the second graphics card, which is a NVIDIA G210M, when it needs to render something in say 3D or higher quality than the 9400G M is equipped to handle. One thing I happened upon during my research was an NVIDIA utility that will easily allow you to overclock your NVIDIA graphics cards which I describe in more detail below.6.02, 6.06, 9400G M, core clock, Dell, Dell 1340, device settings, G210M, gpu, memory clock, nvidia, nvidia system tools, oclhashcat, opencl, overclock, performance, shader clock, studio xps

Good quality canvas
By julcherie
from Clovis, CA
I bought this canvas with the specific color blue in mind to go with my bathroom colors and towels I had purchased. I saw this painting in another store but not the right size for the area I wanted it for. The painting in the other store was much cheaper than this one but the quality was much better here so I can see why it was more expensive. The colors were not exactly the same as the other painting but were very close. The only con is that the rectangle shape it was available in did not look as well as I thought it would above my space in the bathroom. A square shape would have looked better. But overall it is a pretty piece.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Had reservations about flying with Air Asia after the last trip but they were only 40 minutes late this time. The view coming over the mountains coming into Chiang Mai Got to the strangely named Gongkaew Chiangmai Home seemed a good place with loads of croaking frogs in the pond at night but later on I found out that it's location was a big let down.On the first night after a couple of beers I arranged to go on a trip with a lad from Hartlepool called flight of the Gibbon which looked good. So we headed out early the following morning to some nearby hills and into a forest.
It was basically going through the forest canopy on a combination of death slides and rope bridges. The first time was a bit scary but you soon got used to it. What I didn't like was a bit where they lowered you down off a platform which happened 3 times. This was followed by a walk up a waterfall and some food.
Now I enjoyed the trip but it was shockingly expensive for what it was. At nearly 40 pounds and we were back at the hostel before 2pm. It was the kind of money I would expect to pay in a first world country like New Zealand not Thailand.
This is what I called the Chiang Mai dirty secret, there was little to do in the city itself and most of the activities on offer such as hill tribe or elephant trekking were vastly overpriced in the local travel agents. It would be easy to spend 100 pounds in 3 days which was totally out of the question for me at that stage of the trip. I know that I would be jungle trekking in Sumatra later on for a lot less so I kept my money in my pocket until then. This was a decision I did not regret. The place also seemed too quiet at night, and this put me off seeing the rest of north Thailand.On the second full day I hired a push bike with the intention of going up a mountain about 10 miles north with a temple on top. However there were no shops selling water on the way up so it doesn't matter how physically fit you are once you dehydrate its time to turn round and come back. On the following I went to the zoo but most of it still looked like it was being built. It was not too bad however and one of the few low cost activities on offer in the city.
I couldn't believe what happened on the last night, I found a street full of bars. Just after spending 3 boring nights at my hostel with few people to speak to, it just showed how badly located my place was. Tried Thai green curry for the first time it was great stuff.

System Level Design with RosettaBy
- Perry Alexander
The steady and unabated increase in the capacity of silicon has brought the semiconductor industry to a watershed challenge. Now a single chip can integrate a radio transceiver, a network interface, multimedia functions, all the "glue" needed to hold it together as well as a design that allows the hardware and software to be reconfigured for future applications. Such complex heterogeneous systems demand a different design methodology. A consortium of industrial and government labs have created a new language and a new design methodology to support this effort. Rosetta permits designers to specify requirements and constraints independent of their low level implementation and to integrate the designs of domains as distinct as digital and analog electronics, and the mechanical, optical, fluidic and thermal subsystems with which they interact.In this book, Perry Alexander, one of the developers of Rosetta, provides a tutorial introduction to the language and the system-level design methodology it was designed to support.

âIn his forward to Perry Alexander's System Level Design with Rosetta, Grant Martin observes that âevery new language seems to require at least one book be written to promote understanding and further interest and use, so [for Rosetta] this milestone has now been achieved.â Alexander, one of the fathers of the Rosetta language, has produced what may prove to be the seminal text on Rosetta, and one that helps it move from an academic exercise to a real-world language. The book is packed with clear code examples that explain all the languageâs elements, both individually and in combination. Inasmuch as Rosetta represents more than a simple language but also a methodology, that methodology is also clearly detailed. Anyone whoâs curious about Rosetta and, indeed, interested in a holistic approach to system-level design, should find this volume highly useful.â â David Maliniak, Electronic Design Online, December 18, 2006

Robust pipeline includes 15 projects with Marriott and Hilton; Franchise Agreement for 116-room AC Hotel by Marriott in San Diego's Gas Lamp Quarter
LIVINGSTON, N.J., Jan. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Briad Lodging Group finished off 2013 with the opening of two new hotel properties. However, that is just the beginning of the extensive growth planned over the next several years.
With one hotel under construction, a 131-room, Homewood Suites in Branchburg, NJ, and another, a Residence Inn in Central New Jersey, set for ground breaking in the next couple of month, Briad Lodging Group is poised for explosive growth.
The robust pipeline includes more than 15 projects with Marriott (Residence Inn, Courtyard, Towne Place Suites and AC Hotels) and Hilton (Homewood Suites), which are at various stages in the approval process. In addition, Briad Lodging Group recently signed a franchise agreement for a 116-room AC Hotel by Marriott in San Diego's Gas Lamp Quarter, slated to open by 2016.
Briad Lodging Group's growth plan is to develop, open and operate three to four hotels per year over the next several years.
"With a long track record in hotel development, ownership and management, we believe we have a competitive edge in the hotel real estate niche market. We will keep our focus on premium-branded hotels under such flags as Marriott and Hilton," said Brad Honigfeld, Chief Executive Officer of The Briad Group. "We'll continue to find great development opportunities in underserved markets. Having our own construction affiliate, we are able to build cost effectively and make difficult projects financially feasible."
Briad Lodging Group was formed in 1997, when Briad became a Marriott franchisee. Five years later, the company added Hilton to the portfolio. Since obtaining these franchise rights, Briad has developed more than $400 million in real estate, focusing on limited-service hotels, including the Courtyard, Residence Inn, Springhill Suites, Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites brands. During the past decade, Briad has developed, operated and managed 26 properties and has built over 2,800 hotel rooms in the tri state area alone.

Former Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith is the third-winningest coach in franchise history. His 81-63 regular season record since 2004 is 4th best in the NFC over that timeframe. He brought Chicago to two NFC Championship games, as well as the club's only Super Bowl appearance since 1985.
Yet despite that, he was handed his walking papers yesterday morning.
"It was a tough decision because I have great respect for Lovie and the person he is, the man he is and the coach that he is," GM Phil Emery said today. "He's been a very successful coach here. He's had a good run of nine years of very competitive teams. Teams that presented themselves with class. He's had a lot of defensive excellence during the course of that run. He had a Super Bowl team. He's had playoff teams, three divisional championships. Definitely, we've had defensive excellence."
Emery, who said it was his decision to fire Smith, used two main criteria in deciding to make a change at head coach coming off a 10-6 season.
"As a professional sports team, and as an historic charter member of the greatest sports league in this world, the NFL, our No. 1 goal has to be to win championships. To win championships we must be in contention on a consistent basis," said Emery. "And to be in contention, we have to be in the playoffs on a consistent basis. Five out of the last six years, we have not been there. We have fallen short. We have had defensive excellence. However, during the course of coach Smith's career, we've had one offense that was ranked in the teens, I believe 15th, during the course of that. We haven't had the balance between our defensive excellence."
Emery left no room for interpretation with his comments: Lovie was fired because his offenses routinely ranked at or near the bottom of the league and he didn't make enough trips to the postseason. Plain and simple. It's the same reason so many fans and analysts were calling for his head after two straight seasons where the team collapsed in the second half, falling out of the playoffs.
"We have not had consistency on the offensive side of the ball," Emery said. "We have gone through a number of coordinators. We have searched for answers. The end result is that we did not have enough consistency. That part and not getting to the playoffs on a consistent basis, being able to meet our organizational goals, to be in a consistent spot, to be in the hunt to win championships, I made the change moving forward.
"So since '06, we've only been [to the playoffs] once. Hey, I'm glad that we went. I wasn't here at that time, obviously. It's important that we go. But to get to be a championship team, to win it, we have to be in it more often."
The search now begins for Smith's replacement, a person Emery said could come from either the NFL or collegiate ranks.
"I want somebody that has high energy; somebody that pulls people together in the building," said Emery. "Whatever his personality subset is, or however he approaches it, I want somebody that has some warmth that pulls everybody together and that we have synergy, not only with our players but with everybody in the building to work towards our common goal. Upbeat and positive. Everybody has a different personality. Everybody represents themselves in a different way. But those qualities are paramount. We all want to work together in a positive environment toward winning championships."
The next head coach will also need to be able to work well with the media and be a great representative of the organization.
"I want somebody that's good on their feet. I think working with the media not only in Chicago, but in a national sense is very important. I want this person to stand up and represent us well. It's a very tough job. It's very demanding. Wins and losses weigh heavily week to week."
As of this moment, Emery is considering every potential replacement, including current Bears special teams coordinator Dave Toub.
"No one's been excluded. We have some excellent coaches on our staff and I'm not excluding anybody."
Emery said he has interviews lined up for this week and next. He did not offer a concrete timetable for finding a new coach, although he wants to get it done sooner than later.
"I'm going to do everything with a sense of urgency. I think it's important that we be very thorough to get the absolute right person. My druthers would be ideally that I could stand shoulder to shoulder with this person during the All-Star games — the East-West is coming up, the Senior Bowl is coming up. all those things are important. We have to be thorough, though. The playoffs are a consideration. There might be some candidates that we might not be able to interview during that time frame. So far we have them scheduled and we're on course. There may be a candidate that's in the playoffs and may be unavailable to us. We may have to wait out. It depends on how these courses of interviews go."
As far as a budget for the new coach, Emery said money is not an issue.
"Money has never been a discussion. It wasn't a discussion when we had the discussions and I led the analysis in terms of what my final decision was. It never came up. It has not come up in this process of putting together candidates and scheduling. We're in pretty good shape for the next two weeks of getting a number of quality candidates to come up and talk."
Team president Ted Phillips also said money won't be a deciding factor in finding the next head coach.
"We're going to do whatever it takes to hire the right guy," said Phillips.
Three of the candidates scheduled to meet with Emery in the next two weeks are Mike McCoy, offensive coordinator, Denver Broncos; Mike Sullivan, offensive coordinator, Tampa Bay Buccaneers; and Keith Armstrong, special teams coordinator, Atlanta Falcons.

Against the Boston Celtics, Washington Wizards forward Andray Blatche demonstrated the absolute perfect way to absolutely not play pick-and-roll defense. It was so bad, in fact, it reminded me of masterful demonstration of effort and perseverance Albert Haynesworth displayed against the Philadelphia Eagles.
That is to say, none.

iODBC is a cross-platform Driver Manager that comforms to the Microsoft ODBC 2.x & 3.x and X/Open SQL CLI data access specs. It enables the development of database-centric solutions that are both database and platform independent. This is a great SDK for porting WIN32-based ODBC applications to Linux and other OS platforms.
deltasql is a tool to synchronize databases with source code, which helps to keep database evolution under control. While developing mid-sized or big applications, developers make changes to the data model that go along with changes to the source code. From time to time, branches of source code are done to stabilize the code that will go to production. A sort of data model branch is also needed. deltasql provides a simple way to collect all scripts that change the data model and means to handle data model branches. The deltasql server runs on Apache and is backed by MySQL.
CloverETL is Java-based tool/framework for data integration and creation of data transformations. It is component based and follows the concept of transformation graphs which consist of individual nodes/components performing simple (or complex) operations on data. Any transformation can be defined as a set of interconnected nodes through which data flows. CloverETL can be used as a standalone application or be embedded into a larger project.
Cego implements a relational and transactional database system with support for the SQL query language. The current release contains the most common database features for basic table manipulation and data retrieval. Indexes, foreign keys, views, and stored procedures are also implemented. Future releases (2.0 and above) will support a multi-node database concept with log file shipping for an automatic database application failover.
H2 is an SQL database engine written in Java that implements the JDBC API. Embedded, server, and clustering modes are available. A browser based console application is included. The database has strong security features. Disk based and in-memory databases and tables are supported.
BaseX is a light-weight, high-performance, and scalable XML database system and XPath/XQuery processor, including full support for the W3C Update and Full Text extensions. An interactive and user-friendly GUI frontend gives you great insight into large XML data instances. It is platform independent and works out of the box.
MUSCLE (Multi User Server Client Linking Environment) is an N-way messaging server and networking API. It includes client-side networking APIs for various languages, including C, C++, C#, Delphi, Java, and Python. MUSCLE lets programs communicate over a network via streams of serialized Message objects. The included server program ("muscled") lets its clients message each other and store information in its server-side hierarchical database. The database supports flexible queries via hierarchical wildcarding, and "live" updates via a subscription mechanism.
SymmetricDS provides file and database synchronization with support for multi-master replication, filtered synchronization, and transformation across the network in a heterogeneous environment. It supports multiple subscribers with one-direction or bi-directional, asynchronous data replication. It uses Web and database technologies to replicate data as a scheduled or near-realtime operation. The software has been designed to scale for a large number of nodes, work across low-bandwidth connections, and withstand periods of network outage. It works with most operating systems, file systems, and databases, including Oracle, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server (including Azure), IBM DB2, H2, HSQLDB, Derby, Firebird, Interbase, Informix, Greenplum, SQLite (including Android), Sybase ASE, and Sybase ASA (SQL Anywhere) databases.
With MetaModel, you use a type-safe SQL-like API for querying any datastore. It is a data access framework providing a common interface for exploration and querying of different types of datastores. It isn't a data mapping framework. Instead, it emphasizes abstraction of metadata and the ability to add data sources at runtime, making MetaModel great for generic data processing applications, but less so for applications modeled around a particular domain.

On standards of legitimacy as they apply to middle-eastern tyrants.
became illegitimate when he dared to do what he is doing while a Democrat is in the White House. It's okay to do this kind of stuff when there's a Republican in there to demonstrate that they're weak or whatever but to do this, this is a slap in the face at brother Obama. To do this? That's why he's illegitimate. He has failed to recognize the primacy, supremacy of Obama here. To engage in this kind of an action after the Nobel Prize winner sits in the oval office?

The reason why he stressed that is because the pellets have a tendency to stack and bond together.
I recently had a water softener installed and it's time to buy more salt.
The installer stressed, several times, I should use solar salt and not the pellets. The system saver pellets are just about the only salt available without looking at every salt vendor in my area.
Are system saver pellets an acceptable substitute for solar salt? ME, I would think so, but the installer was insistent.
The reason why he stressed that is because the pellets have a tendency to stack and bond together.
Solar salt is the way it is made. The granules have to be large enough so they do not congeal into a solid mass, which is why you do not use rock salt.
Solar crystal salt looks like pieces of gravel in a driveway or along a road. It causes the fewest if any salt related problems in a water softener, and it is always the cheapest.
The one and only disadvantage, as with everything there is always disadvantages, is that solar will leave a dirty ring and sediment in the salt tank.
If you must, simply use a wet paper towel to wipe it out but with most softeners, not including the water powered Kinetico that usually will gag on any dirt so they require a prefilter with most of their models, that dirt will not harm regular softeners and actually can't harm any softener as long as the dirt is in the salt tank right?
The salt water is not going to get into your water and if it is sucked out of the tank, it will be sent to drain with the slow rinse water that provides the suction to suck heavy salt water up and out of the salt tank. And then (unlike Kinetico) 99% of softeners have a backwash and then final rinse after the brining cycle to make sure all the salt and any dirt is flushed to drain.
The down side of pelletized salt is the pellets get damp or wet and lose their shape becoming piles of grains of salt on the bottom of the salt tank and get rock hard. That's because they lay in a 100% brine and can't dissolve and that causes the water level in teh salt tank to rise into more pellets to cause more pellets to fall apart to the bottom of the tank and repeat the problem.
And pelletized salt always costs the most unless you buy potassium chloride which is even more expensive (up to 4 times for the same size bag) because it will recrystallize out of solution and that reduces the salt dose lbs per regeneration and that reduces capacity of the softener which will cause hard water to get through the softener. And potassium chloride is always pelletized anyway. So you have two problems with potassium and, with high salt efficiency settings of the softener you can need to use up to 30% more of it than regular salt.

CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
I would suspect that much of he salt is extracted by evaporation in one form or another. Direct physical mining of salt domes or other deposits (if not using dissolve and evaporate techniques) would be an obvious exception.
What would be the physical characteristics that differentiate the suitability for use based on processing techniques.
Those old salt tanks are good examples of those that someone should have cleaned out 5-10 years ago.

CAUTION, as of Nov 12 2013 all YouTube videos showing how to rebuild a Clack valve have an error in them that can cause damage.
Salt pellets form bridges which does not allow the salt on top to work or create brine. They also do not dissolve very well and thus water softening is compromised. He is right in advising to only use crystals. But good luck finding them now as people have bought out the stores and using it for ice treatment.

RIA Novosti (in Russian: РИА Новости) or sometimes shortly RIA (Russian: РИА) was one of the largest news agencies in Russia.1 Operating under the purview of the Russian Ministry of Communications and Mass Media, RIA Novosti was headquartered in Moscow and operated about 80 bureaus internationally. On 9 December 2013 President of Russia Vladimir Putin ordered RIA Novosti's liquidation and the creation of an International Information Agency Russia Today.2 Dmitry Kiselev, an anchorman of the Russia-1 channel was appointed to be the first president of the new information agency.3
The agency published news and analysis of social-political, economic, scientific and financial subjects on the Internet and via e-mail in the main European languages, as well as in Persian, Japanese and Arabic.4dead link5 It had a correspondent network in the Russian Federation, CIS and over 40 non-CIS countries.4 Its clients include the presidential administration, Russian government, Federation Council, State Duma, leading ministries and government departments, administrations of Russian regions, representatives of Russian and foreign business communities, diplomatic missions, and public organizations.4
RIA Novosti was an award-winning news agency.6 The last editor-in-chief of RIA Novosti was Svetlana Mironyuk,4 the first woman appointed to the role in the agency's history. According to the organisation's Charter, Enterprise's property was federally owned (because federal unitary enterprise) and was indivisible.78 According to the agency, it was partially government-subsidized (2.7–2.9 billion roubles in 20139), but maintained full editorial independence.10
Its Russian name was Federal State Unitary Enterprise Russian Agency of International Information «RIA Novosti» (Russian: Федеральное государственное унитарное предприятие Российское агентство международной информации «РИА Новости», Federal'noye Gosudarstvennoye Unitarnoye Predpyatye Rossiyskoye Agentsvo Mezhdunarodnoy Informatsii), shortly FGUP RAMI «RIA Novosti» (Russian: ФГУП РАМИ «РИА Новости»). Its formal English name was Russian News & Information Agency "RIA Novosti". Early in 1990s it had the name state enterprise RIA «Novosti» (named after Soviet Press Agency «Novosti» and Information Agency «Novosti»). RIA means Russian Information Agency and Novosti means News in Russian. The common abbreviation in Russian is RIA.
RIA Novosti's history dates back to June 24, 1941, when by a resolution of the USSR Council of People's Commissars and the Communist Party Central Committee, "On the Establishment and Tasks of the Soviet Information Bureau", the Soviet Information Bureau (Sovinformburo) was set up under the USSR Council of People's Commissars and the Central Committee. Its main task was to oversee work to cover international, military events and the events of the country's domestic life in periodicals and on the radio (from October 14, 1941, to March 3, 1942, was based in Kuibyshev – modern-day Samara).4
The bureau's main task was to compile reports on the situation on the frontline of the war, work on the home front, and the partisan movement for the radio, newspapers and magazines. Sovinformburo directed the activity of the All-Slavonic Committee, Anti-Nazi Committee of Soviet Women, Anti-Nazi Committee of the Soviet Youth, Anti-Nazi Committee of Soviet Scientists, and the Jewish Anti-Nazi Committee. In 1944, a special bureau on propaganda for foreign countries was set up as part of Sovinformburo.4
Through 1,171 newspapers, 523 magazines and 18 radio stations in 23 countries, Soviet embassies abroad, friendship societies, trade unions, women's, youth and scientific organizations, Sovinformburo informed readers and listeners about the struggle of the Soviet people against Nazism and in the post-war years about the main areas of Soviet domestic and foreign policies.4
Sovinformburo heads included A.S. Shcherbakov (1941–45), S. A. Lozovsky (1945–48) and Y.S. Khavinson, D.A. Polikarpov.4
In 1961, the Novosti Press Agency (APN) succeeded Sovinformburo. It became the leading information and press body of Soviet public organizations. The constituent conference was held on February 21, 1961. The conference of representatives of Soviet public organizations adopted a decision to create a press agency of public organizations named Novosti. The agency's guiding body was the Council of the Agency's Founders.4
The APN founders were the USSR Journalists Union, USSR Writers Union, Union of Soviet Societies of Friendship and Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries, and the Znaniye Society. On April 3, 1961, the Agency charter was adopted. Under its charter, APN's aim was "to contribute to mutual understanding, trust and friendship among peoples in every possible way by broadly publishing accurate information about the USSR abroad and familiarizing the Soviet public with the life of the peoples of foreign countries." APN's motto was "Information for Peace, for the Friendship of Nations". APN had bureaus in over 120 countries. The Agency published 60 illustrated newspapers and magazines in 45 languages with a one-time circulation of 4.3 million copies. With the Union of Soviet Friendship Societies, APN published the newspaper, Moscow News, which in September 1990 became an independent publication. APN Publishing House put out over 200 books and booklets with a total annual circulation of 20 million copies. In 1989, a TV center opened in APN. Later, it was transformed into the TV-Novosti TV company.4
The APN heads included Boris Burkov (1961–70), Ivan Udaltsov (1970–75), Lev Tolkunov (1975–83), Pavel Naumov (1983–86), Valentin Falin (1986–88), Albert Vlasov (1988–90).4
By a decree of USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev, "On the Establishment of the Information Agency Novosti," the Information Agency Novosti (IAN) succeeded APN on July 27, 1990. "To provide information support for the USSR's state domestic and foreign policies and proceeding from the interests of the democratization of the mass media," the Novosti Press Agency was renamed the Information Agency Novosti (IAN). IAN's tasks remained the same – preparing and publishing printed, TV and radio materials in the USSR and abroad; studying public opinion on Soviet foreign and domestic policies in the USSR and abroad." A computer databank was created in the Agency. Initially, it contained over 250,000 documents. In 1991, the Infonews hotline started operating in the Agency. IAN had bureaus in 120 countries. It published 13 illustrated magazines and newspapers. The chairman of the IAN Board was Albert Ivanovich Vlasov.4
Russian Federation
The Russian Information Agency Novosti was created in September 1991 on the basis of IAN and the Russian Information Agency. By a Presidential decree of the Russian president dated August 22, 1991, RIA Novosti was placed within the competence of the Press and Information Ministry. RIA Novosti had about 80 bureaus and news offices abroad, over 1,500 subscribers in CIS countries and about a hundred in non-CIS countries. A Presidential decree of the Russian president of September 15, 1993 "On the Russian Information Agency Novosti", transformed RIA Novosti to a state news-analytical agency. RIA Novosti's radio channel – RIA-Radio worked in 1996. In August 1997, the TV channel Kultura was set up on the basis of the RIA TV channel under the sponsorship of the VGTRK TV and radio broadcasting company. By a decree of the Russian president, "On Improving the Work of the State Electronic Media," the VGTRK information holding was created in May 1998, which RIA Novosti joined.4
In May 1998, the agency was renamed the Russian Information Agency Vesti. As a mass media body, it retained the name of RIA Novosti.4 In 2005, RIA Novosti launched RT (originally Russia Today) a global multilingual television news network, which is a government-funded but autonomous, non-profit. RIA Novosti asserts that it "merely participated in establishing the channel" which retained "complete legal, editorial and operational independence."11
On 9 December 2013 President of Russia Vladimir Putin signed the liquidation of RIA Novosti and merging it with the international radio service Voice of Russia to create International Information Agency Russia Today.2 Dmitry Konstantinovich Kiselev, a former anchorman of the Channel One Russia is appointed as the president of the new information agency. It is unclear at the moment whether the new agency will include the TV network Russia Today.312 According to her interview, the editor-in-chief of the TV network Russia Today, Margarita Simonyan was completely unaware about the reorganization of the information agency and got the information from listening competitor radio station Kommersant-FM.13

Statement on the Effectiveness of Community Water Fluoridation
The effectiveness of water fluoridation has been documented in scientific literature for well over 65 years. Even before the first community fluoridation program began in 1945, data from the 1930s and 1940s revealed 50-60% lower tooth decay rates in children consuming naturally occurring, optimally fluoridated water compared to children consuming fluoride-deficient water. Since that time, numerous studies have been published making fluoridation one of the most widely studied public health measures in history. Studies prove water fluoridation continues to be effective in reducing tooth decay by at least 25% in adults and children, even in an era with widespread availability of fluoride from other sources, such as fluoride toothpaste.
In April 1999, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) proclaimed community water fluoridation as one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century. The list of achievements, which also includes vaccinations and control of infectious diseases, was developed to highlight significant contributions that impact the health and well being of the public. Additionally, in 2001, the CDC restated, "Community water fluoridation is a safe, effective and inexpensive way to prevent dental caries." The CDC not only recommended continuation of fluoridation but also called for its adoption in additional U.S. communities.
In August 2002, the U.S. Task Force on Community Preventive Services concluded that the evidence for the effectiveness of fluoridation is strong based on the number and quality of studies that have been done, the magnitude of observed benefits and the consistency of the findings. The Task Force issued a strong recommendation that water fluoridation be included as part of a comprehensive population-based strategy to prevent or control tooth decay in communities.
The American Dental Association (ADA) continues to endorse fluoridation of community water supplies as safe and effective for preventing tooth decay. This support has been the Association's position since policy was first adopted in 1950. Based on data for 2010, approximately 204 million people (two-thirds of the population) in the United States are served by public water systems that are fluoridated. The ADA, along with state and local dental societies, continues to work with federal, state, and local agencies to increase the number of communities benefiting from water fluoridation.
For more information regarding fluoride and fluoridation, visit the American Dental Association's Fluoride and Fluoridation website.

Coan Tabbed as an All-American by Easton Sports Inc.
DAHLONEGA, GA – The awards continue to stack up for junior pitcher Jessica Coan, as the right-hander has been named an Easton All-American following a record-breaking season for the Saints.
All-American honors from Easton Sports Incorporated are added to the Duluth, Ga., natives long list of awards for the 2011 season. Coan was named the PBC Pitcher of the Year, Southeast Region Pitcher of the Year, and the highest honor in Division II with the Ron Lenz National Pitcher of the Year.
Coan finished the season with a 27-5 record and 1.09 earned average as she led the Saints to a third straight appearance in the Division II College World Series. In the Super Regional championship game, Coan picked up her 27th of the year, tossing 6.0 innings and holding one of the most prolific offenses in the country to three hits, while striking out six batters.
In 40 appearances, She set a North Georgia single-season record with 334 strikeouts in just 218.1 innings of work, while adding 25 complete games. Coan set the program record for strikeouts in a seven-inning game with 19, a mark that put her in the national spotlight with the second-most strikeouts in the history of NCAA Division II softball.
North Georgia ended year with a 53-12 mark and captured the most wins in school history. The Saints are three time defending Peach Belt Conference regular season and tournament champions, and reigning and three-time champions of the Southeast Region.
Ending the year as the No. 4 team in the country according to the final NFCA Division II Top 25 poll of the year, North Georgia has now been ranked in the nation's top five for 30 consecutive weeks spanning three different seasons.
Coan and the Saints will look to continue the program's historic run in 2012, as they will take the field in the middle of an NCAA Division II dynasty.

The process is called an absorbtion chiller. Check this out http://www.gasairconditioning.org/ro...w_it_works.htm
I have a natural gas well on my property & receive free gas from the well . Naturally all possible appliances & furnace are gas . I have an electric central air conditioner & would like to switch to a gas unit . I have read that these units are made but can't seem to find them . Does anyone know anything about gas air conditioners & where I might find information about them & where to purchase one ?

Important note - I'm not a pro
Retired Defense Industry Engineer; Schluter 2.5-day Workshop Completed 2013, 2014
On nuclear submarines, our main air conditioning system is a lithium bromide system powered by steam...which is available in pretty much unlimited quantities.
Simper systems are used in refrigerators for RV's,
They make em, but probably not is a size small enough for you. Most are large commercial roof top units.
Might make an interesting project though. We'll get right on it and let you know.
They do make residential size units. I have never installed one but I have heard of them. I would look for manufacturers on google.
Another less reliable option would be to run natural gas powered engine that turns a compressor. Of course this is not really a practical option but it would work.
You could also use the free gas to run a generator and have free electricity, sell what you don't use back to the utility?
Given the efficiency and costs I would think you would be better off using the gas to run a generator.
Microturbine generators last a very long time, but are expensive ~$10,000 $40,000
Important note I dont know man made laws, just laws of physics
Disclaimer: I'm a big fan of Darwin awards.
I have used two of the small used gas refrigerator units in a 7ft high X 6ft wide X 8ft long room to achieve freezing temperatures.
I used 4 inch thick polyurethane foam to construct the sides, top and floor.
The outside had white aluminum paneling for ascetics only. The inside had 1/4 inch ply wood walls to attach shelves to. The ply was glued to the foam inside by painting the ply with one part of two part liquid foam and painting the foam wall with the other part of the two part foam. When pushing the ply to the wall it activates and makes a bond as strong as the foam. I used the natural gas as a backup and assist only and most of the power was solar heated 50% Etheline glycol/water.
I also used 1/2 inch ply on the floor so walking didn't do damage to the foam. I glued a few strips to the celling to hang lighting from.
I used 3 watt LED lamps to reduce power and heat. I had 8 of them and the lighting in the all white room was great.
I used extreme measures to keep the door air tight and with a good thermal seal.
Unfortunately this building/freezer was destroyed in a house fire.
I have retired and moved to the country and will probably build another but I'm thinking of Solar powered Ammonia/water chilling. I have the room so I'm looking at modifying the unit published in the Home Power Magazine.
If your interested in solar powered refrigeration,
start here:http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2...rig-bring.html
I'm thinking large here as in underground Olympic pool or more insulated and frozen or very cold liquid with air ducts/heat exchangers running throughout with thermal siphoning for cooling my home.
Also thinking of using a second under ground reservoir of hot liquid for heating in cold weather. "We hardly ever reach freezing here but it does get cold occasionally."
I have enough 4' X 8' slabs of 4" foam to make another as before but I'm not sure I can't put it to better use.
I'm calculating and drawing. I'm not going out in the winter weather to work anyway.
I don't like weather that is cooler than about 20 deg cooler than my body temp. Grinnnnnn
When affordable fuel cells with a good lifetime become available, you will be in fat city. You may have to clean the gas though.

Fisher House accepts donation
Connex Credit Union of North Haven recently donated $1,000 to the Friends of Fisher House Connecticut. John Edwards, CEO of Connex CU, presented the check to Tom Flowers of the Friends of Fisher House CT Leadership Council. The $1,000 will go toward inscribed bricks that will be laid at the house site during construction. Bricks can be customized to commemorate a loved one in the military, and may be purchased by credit unions, private individuals and families.
In August, the Connecticut Credit Union Charitable Foundation voted unanimously to support the development of Fisher House Connecticut, a "home away from home" for military families whose service members are receiving medical care.
