Facebook is in the process of updating its Statement of Rights and Responsibilities and now users must agree to the company's claims of trademarks on "book," as well as "Facebook," "FB," "face," "poke" and "wall," any time they use the social network.
The new user agreement has been updated to curb the use of the words, according to ZDNet.
You will not use our copyrights or trademarks (including Facebook, the Facebook and F Logos, FB, Face, Poke, Book and Wall), or any confusingly similar marks, except as expressly permitted by our Brand Usage Guidelines or with our prior written permission.
U.S. & World

Other changes in the usage policy include making language clearer regarding sharing user content and information; changing "hateful" content to "hate speech" and says it's consistent with community standards; changing "share links" to "social plugins"; and an ability to update downloaded products as they become available.
Is it OK that Facebook is attempting to trademark the word "book" and "wall"? Apparently Facebook didn't trademark "book" in the United States even though it compels users to agree Facebook has a trademark on it. However, the social network is going ahead with trademarking it in the European Union.
We understand Facebook wants to protect its brand, but taking away the word "book" and "face"? We're willing to give them "poke," "FB," and "Facebook," so they should give us an everyday word without having to pay the Zuckerberg's company a fee. Expect to hear more about these trademarked names in the coming weeks.

Pros: Runs a full version of Microsoft Windows Vista, very rugged, great battery lifeCons: Some slight problems when put in waterPerformance: BEase of use: A+Features: A+Value: AGovernment Price: $3,963
Other than matches, the Trimble Yuma is probably the first piece of equipment we'd want to take with us into the woods. And it's certainly the computer we would want beside us for trolling around downtown.
The most impressive thing about the Yuma is that even though the little 5.5-inch by 9-inch rectangle is only 2 inches thick and weighs 2.6 pounds, it's able to drive a full version of Microsoft Windows Vista.
Now, we all know that Vista isn't exactly friendly with system resources. We have even seen workstations slow down a bit while being burdened with that particular operating system. So we were not expecting much performance from the Yuma. But the designers have made a few tweaks to get the most out of the 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, which is backed with 1G of RAM.
On the Passmark Performance Benchmarks, it was able to score 155.1, which puts it in line with about a single-core Pentium 4 desktop running Windows XP. So the performance is in the good range, which is surprising. When using most of the standard office-type programs, such as Word and Excel, we didn't notice any slowdown or performance bottlenecks, even when using the touch screen.
The bright yellow Yuma feels solid, with big rubberized grips on the left and right sides that flank the 7-inch widescreen display. The grips are actually batteries which kept our unit humming along in the worst possible circumstances — a movie playing on the screen with sound — for just shy of six hours. With normal use, you can get as much as 10 hours of time between charges. Removing the batteries is a little more complex than with most portable devices, though this helps to make the unit more rugged. You need to use a Phillips screwdriver before you can pop out the batteries. Thankfully, the reverse side of the stylus has the right tool shaped into it. The batteries will recharge without detaching them if you plug the unit in or put it in its cradle, but you could carry an extra set and replace the used ones in the field without losing any power or data.
Another impressive feature on the Yuma is that it complies with the Mil-Std 810F specification for rugged devices. As we do with all devices claiming to be mil-spec rugged, we put the Yuma through its paces. We dropped it 22 times onto plywood sitting over concrete from a height of 4 feet and added several other drops from lower distances. The Yuma tended to bounce when it hit the ground because it was so well protected, but not the slightest crack formed anywhere on the unit, including around the LCD. And data on the 32G solid-state hard drive was fine after all the banging around.
We combine the heat and humidity testing for the 810F specification into a single test in the GCN Rainforest environment. There, the heat rises to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which while still a bit under the 140 degree specification, does serve as a great benchmark over time. The humidity in the chamber rises to 95 percent, which is 5 percent above the mil spec. After three hours in that torture chamber, we removed the Yuma and brushed off all the condensed water droplets from the steamy exterior. We were greeted with the bubbles Vista screen saver, and the Yuma was none the worse for wear. In an environment like that, a Yuma would likely outlive its owner.
Another specification that the Yuma meets is IP67, also known as the underwater or deep-six spec. The Yuma is designed to survive for 30 minutes underwater at a depth of one meter. We ran into a problem doing this test because even though the Yuma looks like a brick, it floats. You know that late-night show with the "Will it float?" segment? Well, the Yuma would stump the host for sure. It did us. But this is a great feature because if you happen to drop your Yuma into a body of water, it's a lot easier to retrieve it from the surface.
After weighting down the Yuma so that it would sink to the bottom of our test tank, we dropped it into the water. This particular test has killed more computers than any other, even ones that were specifically designed for underwater use. So you never know what will happen when a device takes the plunge.
Although it emerged unharmed, we did notice one small flaw. Just for fun, we were listening to music from the Yuma's excellent speakers during the IP67 test. In reality, we wanted to hear what music sounded like underwater in addition to figuring out if the unit would die. As soon as it went below the surface of the water, the music cut out. We thought we had lost the Yuma, but it was still going strong. Once we removed it from the water, we saw a Windows error message stating that an unknown device had been inserted into the headphone jack and the music was being played into it.
The water had closed a circuit and tricked the Yuma into thinking there was something plugged in. There are several exposed ports on the bottom of the unit, including the headphone jack and two USB ports. The Yuma would have benefited from some type of a rubber flap that could seal the open ports when not in use, but it's nice to know the unit can survive without anything protecting the ports.
In terms of extra features, the Yuma is loaded. It has two Global Positioning System-tagged cameras. One faces the user and one faces out. The one facing out is 2 megapixels and the other is 1.3 megapixels. This makes it easy to film something and show where you are at the same time. So if you happen to spot a rare species on your walk in the forest, you can not only film it but record its exact location at the same time. The Yuma even has a form of night vision. It won't work in pure darkness because it doesn't have an infrared spotlight, but it can amplify any ambient light to record a pretty good picture in near dark conditions.
The Trimble Yuma is an impressive tool. With a government price of $3,963 it's a good value, too, especially if you absolutely, positively have to have a rugged computer with a full operating system and don't want to lug around one of those heavy tank-like laptops that dominate the rugged market.

Post subject: Maple Syrup
I don't know about the US, but the most common container for Maple Syrup in quebec is the 16-oz can. Usually refrigerated after opening (and consummed rather quickly.)
As for production stats that another poster asked about, Quebec produces about 16 million liters of the stuff and the US as a whole about 6 million liters. Quebec has roughly a 90% share of canadian production which is 75% of world production...
As for maple syrup being eaten on snow, it is called "Tire sur la neige". It is made with a reduced form of maple syrup (just shy of maple butter.) Regular maple syrup is much too liquid to be eaten effectively this way.

Oh, how I love Grade B syrup! After having that, I can't see why anyone would want to go back to Grade A.
To the person who was on the syrup/lemon juice/clay diet, maybe the clay was bentonite?

Post subject: non-refrigerated maple syrup
Oh yes, out of the fridge it really does go bad quite quickly: I tried that once and within a few weeks some beautiful molds were growing on the surface.
I guess I should have known; it's sweet, it's liquid, so moulds and yeasts like the stuff as much as I do...

Post subject: maple syrup mold taste
I made a couple gallons of maple syrup that got mold on it but I didn't want to discard so reboiled it but you can taste the mold. Does anyone know a way to remove the mold taste or what else I could recycle this to? I even thought of putting rice grains or oatmeal into it to maybe soak up the taste, or feed it to my bees to see if they could process it soomehow.....ike[/b]

Post subject: Moldy maple syrup
Wow! Haven't had anyone (but me) talk about maple syrup on snow since an Indian friend in Maine hosted a maple sugar'in party for my family back in the 50's. When your mouth gets so puckered up with the sweet you just can't eat another mouthful, he would give us a sour pickle to bite and you could start all over again!.
Well, about the mold: I remember my mom re-purifying the maple syrup by bringing it to a boil in a sauce pan, adding a little milk and skimming off the foam which formed on the top. I have some that needed this recovery process lately so did as I remembered but the result was that the syrup became cloudy and I could still taste the mold. What did I forget?

Post subject: Maple syrup tips
For moldy syrup, skim off the mold from the syrup first.
For taste, Grade B syrup has a real robust maple flavor so some folks (probably not old-time Vermonters )actually prefer it for eating. Grade A, light amber has a subtle flavor so isn't as noticable, e.g., on pancakes. Vermonters like it on ice cream or a hot spoonful. Grade A medium and dark amber are stronger as they get darker.
Sugar on snow really has to be eaten with alternate bites of a sour pickle, otherwise it's too cloying except if you're a kid. The big treat: sugar on snow, sour pickle, cake donut, and hot coffee.

Post subject: cabane a sucre
What in Canada is called cabane a sucre here in the US is called Sugar on Snow. It's thicker than maple syrup, heated to 230 or so, then poured on snow (fluffy snow, not that icy stuff we get in Connecticut). If you're a kid, you pick it up with your fingers, we engineers need a tool ; hence a stick...

How long does it normally take to boil sap into syrup?
We call the syrup on snow "tire d'erables" (or "taffy" in English).

Post subject: Boiling time
Around here (rural western Massachusetts), the sugar houses will boil a batch for about 24 hours to reduce it. One place in our extended neighborhood, Gould's Sugar House, has a spot out back where you can try some of the unboiled sap. The difference is amazing - like water with just a touch of flavor. As for syrup, we go with grade B, purchased at Hager Brothers just a couple of miles from us. We moved here less than two years ago and, ironically, we used to buy Hager syrup when we lived in the eastern part of the state and didn't realize that we'd be moving so close.

Post subject: Can it be fixed?
Today I discovered mold had grown on top of my Maple syrup. I read some advice here and poured it into another container, removed as much mold as I could and then boiled it again. I cleaned out the container and poured the hot syrup back into it. Not it is all one big crystalized mass in a bottle with a tiny neck! Yikes! What did I do wrong and can it be fixed? I live way out in the west with no maple trees for maybe 3 or 4 states. This is a real treat for us. Please help if you can. Thanks

Post subject:
I think that here in Canada (Vancouver anyways) the grading system is different. Ours is Grade A or Light, Grade B or medium and Grade C or Dark or Amber. Early in the season you can get grade A but towards the fall you can only get Grade C. Grade C syrup is really dark and thick and has the most nutrition. However, is is also the most bland and has an odd "powdery" texture within the syrup.

It may help to re-heat in in a large pot of hot water so it dissolves again. You shouldn't need to boil it. Once it dissolves, leave it in the pot of water so it cools s-l-o-w-l-y. Your syrup may still have a moldy smell and off-taste when you're done.

Thanks for your reply! I will try it. I hope I have gotten rid of all the mold I know that it is tricky... It did taste pretty darn good when I was pouring it back into the original container so MAYBE...
I'll let you know!

You might need to add a little water to help the syrup stay dissolved if it crystalizes again.

You can't talk about Friday's bombshell announcement that the Wilpons are looking to take on a partner to help the Mets "have the necessary resources to fully compete and win" without talking about Bernie Madoff.
The Wilpons need cash so that they can deal with the lawsuit brought against them by the trustee for the Madoff Victims. We don't know how much money is being sought (or how much money the Mets borrowed against money they thought existed), although NBC New York and the New York Times are trying to find out, but that's the only reason that they would now be looking to take on partners at this moment.
There's nothing odd in and of itself about diluting ownership -- the Steinbrenner family owns less of the Yankees than the Wilpons own of the Mets -- but the urgency of their move on Friday does make you think they need cash in a pretty serious way.
That prompts a question: can they guarantee that they will be the majority owners of the Mets when all is said and done? How can they be so sure that they'll be able to get what they want by dangling only 20 to 25 percent of the team, as they said during a conference call on Friday afternoon? The Times suggests that Irving Picard, the Madoff trustee, could be looking for $1 billion, which is a serious amount of money. The walls could start closing in before the Wilpons find someone willing to hand them money and keep their mouths shut.
Sports Connection
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
Tom Hicks would be the first to tell them that. As Craig Calcaterra of Hardball Talk points out, the former owner of the Texas Rangers was leveraged to the hilt and originally wanted someone to come in for a small chunk of the team to help pay off his debts. That turned into bankruptcy and Hicks losing total control of the team to Chuck Greenberg and Nolan Ryan. It's one thing to look for a small investor when times are good, in other words, but not too many people are looking to take minority shares of a business run by people in trouble.
Significant to this discussion is the fact that SNY is not part of the Mets deal. Jeff Wilpon called it "totally separate," which makes it an even harder sell from a cashflow perspective. The Mets' revenues have taken a hit over the last couple of years while SNY has been very successful, so the Wilpons would be telling a minority investor that they would get the less valuable piece of the franchise while the Wilpons, the people in distress, would get to hold onto the cash cow.
From an outsider's perspective, that doesn't sound like a particularly appealing opportunity for investment. It does seem like a pretty appealing opportunity for someone who wants to buy controlling interest in a baseball team that plays in New York City. If such a person were to step forward and make an overwhelming offer to the Wilpons, could they really say they'd refuse it?

Loyola falls to Marist on road
Greyhounds drop to 9-5 in conference play
Adam Kemp scored 23 points and Chavaughn Lewis 21 as Marist defeated Loyola (Md.) 69-64 Sunday, preventing the Greyhounds from tying Niagara for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference lead.
Kemp also grabbed 13 rebounds as the Red Foxes (7-18, 4-10) were able to build on the momentum of their wild 105-104 win over Iona in two overtimes Thursday night. That win ended a stretch of 12 losses in 13 games.
Marist led 63-56 with 2:31 remaining, but Loyola cut the margin to one point, 63-62, with 59 seconds left.
A layup by Kemp made it a three-point game and a dunk by Lewis, whose 65-footer forced the second overtime against Iona, made it 67-62 at the 0:24 mark.
Lewis made 11 of 15 free throws, as the Red Foxes made 25 of 37 to Loyola's 12 of 26 (46.2 percent).
Erik Etherly led Loyola (17-9, 9-5) with 22 points.

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour asserted this morning on NBC's TODAY that "Hurricane Sandy saved Barack Obama's presidency."
But did the president's perceived leadership during the immediate aftermath of the storm really move 2.9 million votes? That's highly unlikely.
In fact, Sandy may have actually cost the president 800,000 votes.
It's difficult to quantify the tangible impact of the good scores the president received during the storm. But public polls before the storm largely proved to be similar to the actual results on Election Day.
In the days after the storm, First Read projected that in the counties most affected by the storm in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, the president could lose a net of 340,000 votes.
It wound up being about half that across the states, with a net-reduction of about 160,000 votes -- 200,000 in New York, 10,000 in Connecticut, 10,000 in Rhode Island. The president gained about 60,000 net votes in New Jersey, but it could have been higher, given the margin increase.
Obama held his margins in all those states, but with turnout down across all of them, the president got about 802,000 fewer votes than 2008 – 500,000 less in New York, 161,000 in New Jersey, 123,000 in Connecticut, and 18,000 in Rhode Island.

Last fall, Christophe DeLeon, a fifth-grader at Farley Elementary School in Stony Point, and his best friend, Nikolas Keeley, began a petition asking that the school do away with homework. Stony Point is about 36 miles north of New York City.
"I get stressed out a lot when I do it," said Christopher. "I would literally cry. Math worksheets are usually what break me down."
For Nikolas, it wasn't so much about the work as it was about actually finding the time to do it after classes let out each day.
After school-activities, like his acting classes, affect whether he can complete assignments and he said he's often late to those obligations since he's trying to get homework done.
"I understand the work, but there's just too little time," he said of the 30 minutes worth of assignments he received each day.
For the older kids, it's much worse, Christopher said.
His older sister, who attends North Rockland High School, spends upwards of two hours each night completing assignments, he said.
Now, officials at North Rockland Central School District are exploring whether to limit — or even eliminate — traditional homework assignments and expect to have new guidelines in place by the 2019-20 school year
A recommendation is expected to be issued to the school board by the end of the 2018-19 school year.
"When we started the 'no homework' thing, I never thought we'd get this far," Christopher said during an interview May 23. "We have been sitting in on meetings, talking about how things are and now we're being interviewed by the newspaper. I've probably learned more doing this than doing homework."

Some of us architects were born in the '30s. Our bodies have structure so I guess I'm historic. I sure don't like to be cast aside because of my age, but let's be realistic. I'm out of date! Our wiring is a little loose, our plumbing is______. We recognize our siding is cracked and peeling, our roof is getting bald, (I'm not sure if it leaks or not) and our foundation needs to be replaced. The fact is we are dated! At this age my structure is just not what it used to be.
Just bless me like the Pope does and then tear me down. No don't! Wait! Maybe I should be called antique. Just set me in a dusty corner someplace. I might not like it but I can watch from afar like I did at the historic committee last April 25.
Well, you can't get rid of us historic guys quite so easy but you can get rid of some of those buildings that are eyesores. Like the rotten buildings that the city moved out in the canyon. The cost was phenomenal! Or like the building the Public Works Department wants to demo in South Laguna so they won't incur the heavy costs of moving a teardown. (The space is needed to put in a sewer line.)
Mr. Historic Committee chairman quit waving your arms around to stifle those that oppose to your agenda. You are a nice guy but get real! There is nothing historic there! The only reason you have for historic is that one wall is old. Not good enough!
I have over 1,000 photos of true historic homes from L.A. and Orange County but I would never in my life consider putting its photo in with the others. The real historic houses would rebel!
The architectural and engineering community of this fair town if not the whole state would agree with me if they were to review the building structurally and esthetically. It would not be worth saving!
As of the end of April I retired my license after 44 years but I'm not giving up the profession. Like many of my antique friends, I'm a student of architecture and its history and I love it!

Best of the Net: 100 Things
January 31st, 2010
2010 is off to a good start, with you lot making 14 games for this theme, each varying wildly from the next.
Check them out!
Denatured, by Toodice
You control 1 of 49 motes. Avoid getting too many electrons, while firing them at your opponents. Once you or an enemy collects 4 motes it's game over!
99 Bottles of Beer, by Marcos
A sobering look at designated driving (yeah I went there!). Avoid heat seeking bottles of beer. Get hit at they swarm on you, beating you into merciful, blissful unconsciousness.
An atmospheric herding game. Fire small repulsing shots at floating cubes to get them into THE FIELD.
The Chronicles of Bim: The 100 Fake Afros, by Treeman
I knew a Bim once. I don't think she went a shooting spree against 100's of afros though. Seriously, this game is HARD.
The title is accurate, but if you love achievements you'll enjoy this one.
100 Things, by Marc-Andre Weibezahn
Search and eliminate tiles by category, looking for the largest clump of similarly colored adjacent tiles.
50 Rocks, 50 Guns, by Mathew Elvey Price
A more modern take on Asteroids, using a crap ton of weapons.
Collect water droplets (I think that's what those squiggly lines are) to grow the size of your bubble, then absorb others.
Mr. McDougal's Marvelous Upside-Down Electrotree, by Ben Wilhelm
Not only holding the distinction of being the most ridiculous game title here (though Bim was close), this is an interesting rotating puzzle game.
Juggler's Duel, by Tobias Wehrum
A charming rhythm matching game with a little bit of a learning curve. Could also help you finally get over your fear of clowns.
Judge the souls of the dead in this biblical nudging game. The indirect control is definitely worth checking out, as it adds up to some interesting moments.
Looks like fun, but I can't seem to find the game's executable in the .zip file. Anyone have any luck?
Switch control between multiple enemies, using their powers to kill each other.
Beulah and the Hundred Birds, by Jake Elliot
A serene exploration game about collecting a flock of 100 birds. Jake has also made the source code available if anyone is interested. RPS Link!
3 More entries, just under the wire:
Try to stay focused in this meditation based game. I wasn't able to make it to 100 items, but it is fun to get distracted – a tad risque as well.
I read once that people have a hard time maintaining more than 150 relationships. Let's see if you can maintain 100!
Dodge swarming enemies to random streaming music.

SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS - Jenson Button claimed his second win this year and 14th of his career on Sunday when he drove to a comprehensive victory in an incident and accident-packed Belgian Grand Prix.
Starting from the eighth pole position of his career and his first for the McLaren team, the 32-year-old Briton produced a consummate display of dominant driving from start to finish. It was his first victory on the spectacular and historic Spa-Francorchamps circuit. His victory was his first since the season-opening race in Australia and came in his 50th outing for McLaren and 220th overall as Formula One resumed after a month off for the traditional European summer break. Button, the 2009 champion, came home 13.624 seconds ahead of second-placed defending champion German Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull with Finn Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus completing a podium of champions by coming home third.
Championship leader Spaniard Fernando Alonso of Ferrari crashed out of the race at the first corner where he was he was an innocent victim of a multiple collision triggered by aggressive driving by Frenchman Romain Grosjean in the second Lotus.
Grosjean swerved into Briton Lewis Hamilton of McLaren causing a pile-up that eliminated both drivers, along with Alonso and Mexican Sergio Perez of Sauber. This gifted Red Bull men Vettel and Australian Mark Webber a perfect opportunity to close ground in the title race.
Webber finished sixth behind a dazzling display by German Nico Hulkenberg, who was fourth for Force India, and Brazilian Felipe Massa, of Ferrari.
Michael Schumacher, in his 300th Grand Prix and back at his favourite circuit where he made his debut in 1991, finished seventh for Mercedes ahead of Jean-Eric Vergne and his Toro Rosso team-mate Australian Daniel Ricciardo with Briton Paul Di Resta taking the final point in 10th place in the second Force India.
Vettel's opportunism saw him rise to second behind Alonso in the drivers' standings with 140 points to the Spaniard's 164.
After a morning of welcome warm sunshine, the race started like a storm with Button easing clear at the front ahead of a chaotic pile-up behind him at Eau Rouge where Grosjean swerved his Lotus into Hamilton's McLaren.
The Frenchman's mistake, in forcing Hamilton off circuit and on to the grass, triggered a multiple collision as Hamilton lost control and ran into Alonso's Ferrari while Grosjean rammed across the luckless Perez's Sauber. All four were eliminated from the race in a spectacular and expensive incident that led to the immediate introduction of the Safety Car as analysts pointed initial fingers of blame at Grosjean, for his ill-judged and aggressive change of direction.
This led to a four laps delay at controlled pace behind the Safety Car as the track officials cleared the debris of an F1 scrap-yard left strewn across the circuit and drivers' bickered over the causes.
Button was out in front ahead of Raikkonen at that stage, following Kobayashi's slow start from second on the grid, with Maldonado third, after an amazing start from sixth in his Williams.
Luckily, nobody was injured in the opening lap pile-up which brought Alonso's run of 11 successive points finishes to an end.
On the re-start, Button pulled clear and Hulkenberg grabbed second from Raikkonen before Maldonado retired, on lap five, at Les Combes, with most of the front wing missing from his Williams car.
In the chaos, it went almost unnoticed that Schumacher, in his 300th Grand Prix, climbed from 13th on the grid to fourth and, on lap 10, took third place with an amazing move on Raikkonen, taking him on the outside at Les Combes.
At the same time, Vettel was making progress from 10th on the grid to seventh by lap 12 when Button led by seven seconds ahead of Hulkenberg and Schumacher. By lap 18, he was 14 seconds clear after Hulkenberg made his first pit stop.
Schumacher pitted after 20 laps and Button followed, McLaren completing their stop in a record-equalling 2.6 seconds. Button retained his lead ahead of Vettel, who pitted after 22.
For Button, it was then all about consistency and tyre management while his rivals, on varying one-stop and two-stop strategies, fought for positions.

HAVELOCK � At the start of the football season, Havelock sophomore Keion Joyner had a discussion with head coach Jim Bob Bryant about what is expected of him.
HAVELOCK � At the start of the football season, Havelock sophomore Keion Joyner had a discussion with head coach Jim Bob Bryant about what is expected of him.
Joyner, a 6-foot-2, 194-pound linebacker showcased his potential at Havelock Middle School, then for a year on the Rams� JV squad.
He made the transition to the varsity level with ease in 2013.
�At the beginning of the season, I had a coming to Jesus meeting with coach. I was doing very bad,� Joyner said. �We had a good talk, and it changed me. It showed that I need to work and the goals I could reach and achieve.�
In just one season on varsity, Joyner was a beast on the football field. He was upgraded to a five-star recruit and has since received double-digit scholarship offers from major Division I universities.
�Coach told me that it would only take 24 hours to get noticed, and how fast I blew up with my recruiting,� Joyner said.
�I know it�s there but I just try not to worry about it. I try to stay humble and grounded.�
Joyner, the Sun Journal�s Most Outstanding Defensive Player for 2013, racked up 108 tackles, 19 tackles for a loss, 7.5 sacks, two interceptions seven forced fumbles and seven pass deflections.
And as a unit, Havelock�s defense yielded just 6.2 points per game, and didn�t allow a score through the entire month of October.
�It meant a lot to me to know I was going to play and be a part of the team for the entire season, and play as a family,� Joyner said. �Everyone was doing their job. I was glad I could do mine.�
Joyner enjoys contact, and it showed in his stat line.
In the Rams� 21-13 win over Concord in the 3A state championship game in Raleigh, Joyner had six tackles, a sack and batted down two passes.
�I like going to hit people. I love contact,� he said. �I like rushing people from the edge, that way they don�t see me coming. It just ends up beautiful for me.�
Joyner saw action in 2012 state championship game, after spending all of the regular season on JV.
In his first varsity game, he notched seven tackles against Washington. He then recorded seven tackles and an interception in his second game against New Bern.
�I tried to get some tackles this season and worked on getting better,� Joyner said. �It felt good being on varsity, knowing that I got to play under the Friday Night Lights.
�At first, I was nervous, but then I just got the hang of it.�
With just a single season of football under his belt, Joyner has already opened eyes � not just from college coaches, but from opposing teams as well.

When Liu Xiang went down with an injury during the 110-meter hurdles in London, the nation's most populous country was gripped by disappointment as its leading track star failed to finish a race for the second consecutive Olympic Games. Yet Xiang, 29, managed to salve those wounds and provide a touching epitaph to his Olympic career when he hobbled to the final hurdle on the London course and kissed it, providing a poignant capstone to his career that felt akin to a wrestler leaving his shoes in the center of the ring.
That entire scene played out across China to a touching piece of commentary on state run TV network CCTV. A commentator became so choked up that he was on the verge of tears, all while likening Liu's failure to finish to a soldier not having a gun. The raw emotion in the telecast was so vibrant that NBC and BBC played it on their own telecasts as well.
Weeks later, that seemingly spontaneous moment has been tarnished with revelations that the tear-filled, emotional commentary was apparently scripted by CCTV itself, creating outrage among Chinese citizens that has led to more than a million comments across different social media. Reports that the coverage of Liu's send-off was premeditated began to emerge on Tuesday (and were brought to Fourth-Place Medal's attention by USA Today's Chris Chase) when the head of CCTV's on-air commentary unit, Sha Tong, admitted to the Nanjing Oriental Guardian that the group had four scripted Liu endings.
Eventually, the primary commentator for the event, Yang Jian, employed the most dramatic possible conclusion when Liu collapsed after the first hurdle and limped to the final hurdle, ending his second consecutive unsuccessful run at an Olympic Games.
In fact, Jian may have been under fairly explicit instructions to provide just such an backdrop to the race; according to the South China Morning Post, via an Agence French Press report, a senior editor for CCTV's Olympic coverage group made it clear that commentary surrounding the event would have to take a very specific tone.
"Instructions were circulated among our colleagues saying it should be considered a victory as long as Liu showed up to the starting line," said the editor, who was quoted anonymously.
There is no concrete proof that Liu had already conceived of his hobble and kiss gesture before the starter's gun went off, though plenty on Chinese social media outlets have already rushed to that conclusion. The one thing that is certain is that Liu had to know that he would struggle to even finish a race in his heat due to a serious ankle injury that developed during his training for London.
According to Shaghaiist.com, CCTV was aware that Liu was unlikely to finish the event because Yang learned of that pre-existing injury before the event began. He then turned that information over to Sha, who informed CCTV deputy editor Li Ting. With the knowledge of those executives, Yang then scripted his four potential commentaries. According to Agence French Press, CCTV was barred from revealing details about the injury by the country's propaganda department.
Meanwhile, two Chinese reporters — CCTV's own Dong Rina and an unnamed correspondent from Xinhua News Agency — both reported that Liu was administered two numbing injections in his ankle shortly before lining up for the race. Those painkillers would have helped Liu finish the race, whether or not they could have kept him competitive, though the head coach of the Chinese athletic team, Feng Shuyong, has denied that Liu was given any injections on race day.
There is ample reason to believe that the Chinese government would have an incentive for making Liu's Olympic ending as dramatic as possible, too. According to CNN and Forbes Magazine, Liu's endorsement contracts skyrocketed after his unexpected gold medal in Athens, leading to a windfall of more than $25 million annually as he pushed every product from Nike to BMW, with smaller deals with Chinese milk companies and nutrition supplements mixed in for good measure.
Because all these deals were made in China, the government received a healthy cut of the endorsement action, which continued to prosper, albeit at a slightly decreased rate, following the Beijing Games, despite Liu withdrawing from the hurdles with an injury.
Nonetheless, both the sprinter and government authorities have vehemently denied that Liu's actions in London were premeditated, with the track star himself insisting that he felt healthy before the race and offering up a personal narrative to CCTV about why he did what he did.
"When I lost my balance at the first hurdle, I felt my foot was whipped by someone and then I fell," he recalled. "I didn't know what was going on and just felt a lot of pain. I was sitting on the ground in pain and felt totally blank."
"When a stadium worker pushed out a wheelchair, I saw it and didn't want to sit in it," he added. "So I hopped to the finish line. When I passed the final hurdle, this thought just popped up in my mind and I wanted to kiss that hurdle."
Whether or not you believe that official storyline is up to you. The Chinese public seems to retain a healthy skepticism of Liu's claims, with users of Weibo, a Chinese service similar to Twitter, expressing shock and often demanding an apology from the highly compensated sprinter for his role in a "world class farce." In aggregate total, there have been more than a million comments related to the Liu-CCTV scandal across Chinese social media outlets.
Those comments just prove that no matter how hard it tries, CCTV and the Chinese government can't completely control or manipulate user reaction, even if they have a hand in molding the commentary that accompanies it in the first place.

starting to love this show....think it is my next "This is us"
link please
thanks to all the link up loaders you are the best
Give me 2 minutes, hey? Because now I have to reply to 2 imbeciles.
OK. my bad
johnny he clearly says clean slate and he accepts the apology, so stop shit stirring!
@HRRoach When a person gets to the point and talks about being humble, accept it, embrace it even. Your response is vile and juvenile. Shame on you.
interesting as the last one and looks like some are leaving and wonder what is going on next not bad but with all the ends tied up in a bow, what is next or could be a new line up i can only hope so.
ok as much as i hate this show this was pretty good, loved all the tv show lampooning and parody was awesome and the whole reality alteration was fun. Now on to the other one i skipped
The last words in this one were so true, ***spoils*** "The devil is us". Other than that, it was ok, if not a little too artsy,. This keeps you guessing from the vague intertwined plots of extraordinary wealthy people.
"Devils" from Sky Entertainment, is so far, Wonderfully Gripping. Just, Wow! Super Gritty, new school British nuanced Crime, Suspense, Adventure & Drama. Just finished the Pilot, and have to say that it has reeled me in so much so, I plan to do a little binge watching. Based on the First Episode, in addition to the fine acting work, with many well known characters; at least by face. However the show is based around a Financial Services Bank in London, Great Britain, and features the renown acting prowess of Patrick Demsey. I still remember watching "Can't Buy You Love", and remember laughing at just how dorky they portrayed him for the role; some 20–30 years have passed, and he is one of Hollywood's Favorite All-Around Actor.
@Hellfist New vidtodo links added
no good links what the hell
THIS SEASON 1 DID NOT HAVE ONE SINGLE EPISODE THAT WAS BAD. sry caps lock accidental. The point is this whole season was pretty awesome even though you do need to have some imagination. I mean it only lacks realism. That is all it is. But personally I dont want reality tv in a show. TV is entertainment, if i want reality I wouldn't want to get it on a tv show. So basically this is a great series, A MUST SEE. ***SPOILER***NOT REALLY****It was cool seeing why the swordfish decoration was so heavy.
I would say your personal affronts have been far more than a reaction. You throw out uncalled for pejorative slights, simply because you dont understand something that was said. Americans speak differently, period. You hate that. Having said that I would gladly not respond again to that shit, but in the spirit of all that is good, I accept your public apology and will refrain from calling you names as well. Let's try a clean slate, eh?
@everyone… I'm guilty. I lost myself in emotion there for a while, but hopefully you can forgive most of my comments. Especially the personal affronts which were a knee jerk response. I've sat back for a few days and my conclusion is that we all need to learn humility on a worldwide scale. As a token gesture, and possibly a half-arsed attempt at an apology I would suggest watching Mr. Corden summing these preposterous times up with, what I believe to be genuine humility. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheLateLateShow … Love to you all. (even you, Roach). XXXX
Loved Episode 10 Season finale! Love every episode of this show but I really liked that we got to meet Alex's daughter and see the relationship change. Praying that there is a Season 2!

lmao you know that the Anne Frank House is in the Netherland right? That is the country NEXT to Germany...and no one is forced to visit. I just stood outside from it when I travelled to Amsterdam....we never HAD to go there and my kids also didn´t, it is not mandatory. And it is also not mandatory to visit the Holocaust Camps.... but good that you know so much about my country! you know shit, so maybe you should better shut up! lmao Since you don´t even know the difference between the Netherlands and Germany I try to explain it to you also: nearly every historical related museum takes an entrance fee, Holocaust related or not, that money is used for the staff and keep the inside and outside in a good state....duh, your stupidity just jumps out of your sentences.... you are the one who posts LIES and insults, thank God there are not so many morons like you. Adios
Excuse us you inbred windbag from a bygone era? You sexist homophobic look at me and show me attention whiney ass bitch. If you wanna talk bout tv fine , but keep your personal attacks on subject. Don't. Patheticaly insult Gay people in a lame attempt to apear superior while starting shit with what is Clearly an Obviously more intelligent entity than yourself. Your ANTI GAY SLURR has shone a spotlight on your own mindset,& with that comment, you have lost the right to further communicate in any intellectual capacity with us. Good day waste of space.

DrControversiaI loves to post LIES and insults with his gay tag team bum buddies ,,,pathetic trill that he is ,,, like some old drag queens yap yap yap farting constantly

put effort into the writing....wish we could edit our responces
QUALITY that is what this show has, like shows of the past that put the writing used the drama to good effect other then a filler to drag out the show.
To be clear, this conversation has zero to do with the show, as such we must assume you are intentionally trying to start sht. This crap belongs on Facebook or Twitter NOT A STREAMING SITE FOR VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT. Of course, locked up in the ship all day gets frustrating and we are therefore forced to find new forms of entertainment. So please human TROLL,ENTERTAIN US. here's some help getting started, tRump loves SpaceForce, the documentary is so on point with everything he stands for. Also OJ IS INOCENT...just kidding. Now that should be enough to keep TROLLS engaged. (.O_O.)
links please
Just stating the facts that matter. nobody gives a shit about your historic irrelevant closed minded moronic facts whether they are true or not , it just doesn't matter, and it doesn't need to be here because it has nothing to do with the show. These are the facts that are relevant. stfu
Can you 2 just have sex already and shut up?
Why would anyone want to debate with vermin who assume that the online racist so called facts that support their hate are the truth when there are far more online credible facts that disprove every one of your delusions. I gave you more than enough proof of how wrong you are before and you are still the same hate filled demented imbecile as you were then so why would I bother? . You lost then and you lose again now so maybe its time for you to once again make another sock account and skulk away like the rat that you are.
DrControversiaI... masturbation making you blind or just to ignorant to face facts that are historical so even retards can use search engines to check them ... your pathetic arguments are just indicative of your inability to even debate intelligently ... google Anne Frank _ Biro pen google the Eisenhower's death camps along the Rhine look in Wikipedia even ...if you cant be bothered to research historic Facts GFY
lol HR cockRoach serial spammer on most links trying to be a moderator ,,, go back to sucking your thumb and beating your bishop . you are pathetic
@Terry77 None of your so called facts are relevant to this show. Take your bs to a place that it might matter. It is not here.
As we have yet to see a single fact from you scum We can only assume that you have nothing valid to give once again, Adolph must be turning in his grave if you are whats left of his master race.
HRRoach Facts are always irrelevant to the feeble minded as they are to Zoniszts
Factual statements that are 100% irrelevant are useless
LOL the troll fives up on insults and resorts to infantile comments due to inability to respond intelligently ,,,, run along to your playgroup child , color some books like a goof little ignoramus
You forgot "The Queen is an alien lizard" lol, good to know that I am not the only one who see's through that fools attempt at credibility.
Schrunsekris care to explain why people are imprisoned for skepticism while its mandatory for German children to attend cash machines museums that are PROVEN to be based on LIES ...if you cannot then please go and educate yourself
:) yes DrControversial, I remember and thought the same thing...same idiot - different name... I guess his "friend" was Alison Chabloz lol And it is funny that he always brings up his "factual statements" ... And I haven´t seen one fact, the Eisenhower story is what it is... You can´t find any "proof" that the Holocaust didn´t happen but a lot of proof that it did.... so either you are an antisemitsts who just wants to deny it so can still justify your hatred or you just another conspiracy-addict... who also believes in Chemtrails, Antiwaxx, Pizzagate, 9/11, earth is flat and probably that global warming and COVID19 are a hoaxes aswell.... I really don´t want to live your life, must be exhausting to see threats and lies everywhere
No confusion here scum, you got your arse kicked with CREDIBLE facts last time when you were spewing your hate filled B/S under the name of tishanddash and then started to call yourself Terry77, exact same false theories, exact same accusations and exact same inability to use a spell checker. I expect this member also remembers you...................... "tishanddash---- I am German, live in Germany and hearing you saying that you "know a nurse" who worked there and she says nothing happend and Because of idiots like you there are more and more people denying the Holocaust"
Really am enjoying this series
DrControversiaI you confuse me with another and someone who gives a flying f^^k what you think , i made factual statements disprove even one if you can ,, you haven't the intelligence to even research ,, trolls like you just spew out insults keyboard warriors with no balls and low IQ;s ,,,, TRUTH does need to be protected by laws forbidding even skepticism ,,, run along to the Anne Frank museum ..it is mandatory for children despite being a PROVEN forgery by a greedy father...Strange how laws are made to protect cash cows NOT the truth
Typical response from a racist cretin with zero credible proof to back up his hate filled conspiracy B/S. The last time you raised your little racist pin head here you posted dubious links and every one of them I was able to counter argue with vallid links and wiped the floor with you so no surprise that you are too scared that will happen again. You best run along now wee man and take your hate with you.
oh no...
Don't know why you people got issues with me just because I am from USA, you know, Trump was not voted into office by the people, even if he was, certainly not by me. He did not win by the number of votes. And again you are an idiot to think that all of the millions of people in the usa have the same ideals . You don't have to agree with me but I will say what I like about the shows on here, and you can disagree all you want, but fuck off if you just want to make ignorant misinformed insults, for no good reason other than I AM IN USA, AND BTW i am ENGLISH/IRISH/GERMAN bloodline, even if it makes me a blonde haired blue eyed American, it does not mean any of your stereotypes of me are true at all... you are nothing more than a punk ass bitch trying always to get me started for your own entertainment like a 10 year old with no mamma. Have fun bitching about how little privilege you have because you are not American. You never even been to my country to know 1 thing about the people here.Cant wait to see what happens when you go back to your little elementary school and someone busts you up for being a total dumbass

text: The National Aquarium is proud to partner with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Office of National Marine Sanctuaries and the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation (NMSF) to offer a glimpse into contemporary ocean issues in the 2014 Marjorie Lynn Bank Lecture Series, beginning with oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle! The year-long speaker series will highlight the diverse network of the National Marine Sanctuary System and will give guests the opportunity to learn from ocean experts who are working on the front line of ocean conservation and exploration including luminaries, scientists, explorers and artists. Earle, an American oceanographer, explorer, author and lecturer, kicks off our Spring series with her session, "Hope: A Plan for Our Ocean" on February 27th. During the lecture, Earle will share her experiences exploring "inner-space" to rally support for hope spots, which she describes as special places around the world that are critical to the health of the ocean. Earle has been a National Geographic explorer-in-residence since 1998, and was named Time magazine's first "Hero for the Planet" in 1998. Her recently-released film, Mission Blue, traces her journey from her earliest memories exploring the ocean to her days leading a daring undersea mission. Check out this special clip of Mission Blue: Tickets for Earle's lecture are available for purchase here (admission is $20 for National Aquarium members and $35 for non-members). The entire presentation will also be streamed live at aqua.org/lectures. We hope you'll join us for the special kick-off of our Marjorie Lynn Banks Lecture Series!

Litigation Release No. 20323 / October 4, 2007
SEC v. Kevin James Dunn, Jr., Civil Action No. 07- 4144 (E.D.N.Y.) (ILG)
SEC Charges Stock Broker With Defrauding Widow of September 11 Victim Out of Compensation Funds
On October 4, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil injunctive action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York charging a broker with fraudulently misappropriating nearly $250,000 from the widow of a Port Authority police officer who died at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 (the "Customer"). The stolen funds were part of the compensation the Customer received in 2004 from the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 (the "Fund"). The broker named in the complaint, Kevin James Dunn, Jr. ("Dunn"), was employed by MetLife Securities, Inc. ("MetLife") at the time of the fraud.
The Commission's complaint specifically alleges as follows: Dunn was friends with the Customer and convinced her to invest her entire recovery from the Fund with MetLife and allow him to manage the investment. Dunn then proceeded to betray the Customer's trust by engaging in a series of material misrepresentations about the purchase and sale of securities in her account and other fraudulent acts aimed at swindling her out of a substantial portion of the compensation she received from the Fund. From September 2005 through April 2007, Dunn misappropriated a total of $248,000 from the Customer by fraudulently creating a joint account in both of their names, forging her signature on wire transfers from the joint account, and telling her outrageous lies about the status of her securities investments to deceive her into providing him with blank checks that he deposited into his own bank account. Although MetLife terminated Dunn in February 2007, he continued to defraud the Customer for another two months by acting as if he was still employed as a broker at MetLife and deceiving her into giving him additional blank checks.
Dunn is charged with violating Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. In the complaint, the Commission seeks permanent injunctive relief, disgorgement, and civil penalties.
In a parallel proceeding, the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York today filed criminal charges against Dunn for the same conduct.
The Commission's investigation is ongoing. The Commission acknowledges the assistance and cooperation of the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service in this matter.

ENERGETIX Bingen supports the Hugo Tempelman Foundation. The Dutch doctor has been engaged in a precedent-setting project to combat AIDS and improve the living conditions of thousands of people in South Africa since 1990.
As in the previous year, distributors and staff joined ENERGETIX's team of runners to take part in the Gutenberg Marathon. This year was special because Joey Kelly ? musician, motivation coach and extreme sportsman ? joined the team dressed in this year's pink-and-black ENERGETIX shirts to run the half-marathon distance of 21.0975 kilometres.
The prominent sports personality with whom several activities to be staged in conjunction with ENERGETIX have been planned for this year was inspirational not least because he tirelessly motivated the other runners and spurned them on not to give up.
ENERGETIX's sole shareholder and CEO, Roland Förster, pledged three euros for every kilometre ran by distributors, staff and, of course, Joey Kelly. This resulted in a total of 2,000 euros being donated to the Hugo Tempelman Foundation, which under the motto of "POSITIVE + CHANGE" employs the holistic approach developed by Hugo and Liesje Tempelman, both doctors from the Netherlands, to help in the battle against HIV and tuberculosis in South Africa.
We thank all runners for their efforts to support the charity!
For many years, ENERGETIX Bingen and its distributors have been supporting the Hugo Tempelman Foundation with funds that both the company and its distributors have generated.
That these donations literally come from the heart is symbolized by the popular MagnetHeart: you can help by purchasing the heart - which is available in two versions – because a share of the profits from these pieces is always donated to our charity partner. So each MagnetHeart sold keeps increasing the donations.
The very successful MagnetHeart sales made it possible for us to present a pleasantly large cheque to the initiators of the Hugo Tempelman Foundation at the Catalogue Launch, which took place on 1 September 2012.
The funds will make an active contribution to the continuation of the foundation's comprehensive projects and will help create better future prospects for children who have lost their parents to HIV.
Our heartfelt thanks go to our distributors who through their ongoing commitment have helped us jointly achieve another remarkable 175,000 euros – the same amount we were able to donate last year.
When the gun was fired at the start of the Gutenberg Marathon in Mainz on 6 May 2012, it was the first time that ENERGETIX Bingen distributors and staff were part of the 11,000-strong field.
As well as providing a lot of sport and enjoyment, the half marathon tackled by the ENERGETIX runners resulted in a very welcome contribution to charity. Owner and CEO Roland Förster donated one euro to the Hugo Tempelman Foundation for each kilometre run by ENERGETIX distributors and staff, and the management spontaneously decided to double this sum. A further 100 € was contributed by FKS-Willigis, a club that works closely with the Willigis High School in Mainz (which very generously offered its facilities as changing rooms). After the 21 kilometre run, ENERGETIX Bingen was able to hand over a total of 2,100 € to the Hugo Tempelman Foundation, its charity partner.
The company's first Mainz Marathon, which included 45 runners wearing a striking red ENERGETIX shirt, represents a very successful combination of sporting and social commitment. ENERGETIX Bingen will be lining up again next year at the start of the 2013 Mainz Marathon.
Some 100 doctors from 20 countries regularly exchange their white coats for evening attire and - as members of the World Doctors Orchestra - perform benefit concerts for people in need of healthcare. The Orchestra toured South Africa from 7 to 12 February 2012. The proceeds of the concerts in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Elandsdoorn went to the Ndlovu Care Group, an organization supported by the Hugo Tempelman Foundation, and their project to help Aids orphans which ENERGETIX Bingen has supported for years. Particularly impressive was the Orchestra's joint appearance with the Ndlovu Youth Choir. The latter was established as a result of integrative social work in the township of Elandsdoorn and has already appeared with many international artists. The inspiring performance in Elandsdoorn turned into a true festival for artists and audience. The successful South Africa tour was made possible as a result of support from, among others, ENERGETIX Bingen.
Oliver Schmitz shoots a film in Elandsdoorn involving the Tempelman Project
ENERGETIX Bingen and its distributors have been supporting the Tempelman Foundation's Aids project in South Africa for several years. The Dutch doctor and his wife visit us regularly at the Catalogue Launch to bring us up to date on their work.
The last launch included the screening of a very moving video about the Tempelman Project in Elandsdoorn shot by the launch's host, Ingo Nommsen. And now "Life, above all", a feature film shot in the same setting, will shortly be on general release. All the actors come from the Tempelman Project and even the two lead actresses Khomotso Manyaka and Lerato Mvelase, neither of whom had ever stood before a camera, were recruited there.
The film tells the story of Chanda, a 12-year-old girl growing up in simple but loving surroundings in the rural township of Elandsdoorn in provincial South Africa. Her world changes abruptly when her one-year-old sister Sara dies and her much loved mother falls seriously ill shortly afterwards. In a wealth of impressive images the film, by South African-born director Oliver Schmitz (Paris, je t?aime, Doctor?s Diary), not only depicts a touching mother-daughter relationship but also mirrors modern South Africa: lively, complex and full of extremes.
"Life, above all" dazzled audiences at Cannes, Toronto, Rio de Janeiro and the Berlinale and made it to the last nine out of seventy candidates for nomination in the Oscar's Best Foreign Language Film category. The film will be on general release in Germany from 5 May.
Moving moment at the 2011 Catalogue Launch in Mainz's Rheingoldhalle at the end of August: Dr. Hugo Tempelman and his wife Liesje received a cheque for 175,000 euros. As the Dutch doctor said in his speech of thanks, this ensures that his hospital in South Africa will continue to operate up to the end of 2013. According to Dr. Tempelman, "In concrete terms, it means saving the lives of people who would otherwise die". CEO and sole shareholder Roland Förster was in South Africa a few weeks earlier with Manfred Teubner, Head of Entertainment at ZDF, who agreed to become an honorary member of the Board of the Hugo Tempelman Foundation. A film was made there which will be used to support the Foundation.
We and our distributors have become successful as a result of our work. It provides us with satisfaction and financial security.
Saying thank you and doing something useful
Hence our need to help people who do not enjoy such a life. We are delighted that we – and our distributors – have found a way to share our success with these people through our charity activities. In the Hugo Tempelman Foundation we have found an organization that converts our support directly into help for the sick and needy. Up to September 2010 we had presented the Hugo Tempelman Foundation with 170,000 € in donations.
ENERGETIX Bingen's charity activities
Help for mother-and-child project in South Africa
ENERGETIX Bingen has supported the South African AIDS project of Dutch doctor Hugo Tempelman since 2008. On 4 September 2010 ENERGETIX CEO and owner Roland Förster presented Hugo Tempelman and his wife Liesje with a cheque for 100,000 € at the presentation of the new jewellery collection and the new catalogue in Mainz's Rheingoldhalle, before an audience of over 1,300 guests.
The Tempelmans have been active in the fight against AIDS in South Africa since 1990. Today their project incorporates several clinics with a range of infrastructural and cultural measures and involves the creation of new jobs. It now serves as a model and can be used wherever similar conditions prevail. A project of this size is dependent on financial support. A lot of sponsors have reduced their readiness to donate to charities because of the difficult economic situation. This also endangers the so far very successful work of the Tempelman Foundation.
ENERGETIX Bingen has therefore decided to continue giving targeted financial support to Hugo Tempelman's AIDS project. The 100,000 € donation will go towards the mother-and-child unit in the 24-hour clinic of the South African town of Elandsdoorn. Thanks to the excellent medical care, 99% of the HIV-infected mothers in this clinic give birth to uninfected babies. The opportunity to sustain the very young and hence save lives and enable them to develop is what motivates the fundraising campaign.
ENERGETIX Bingen had already donated the sum of 70,000 € to the AIDS project in previous years, in several individual amounts. The new record sum has been possible because of the company's satisfying growth. Distributors have once again sold the firm's best-selling product, the MagnetHeart (on which the amount to be donated is based), so successfully that the company was able to donate a further 100,000 €.
In November 2009 the recognition and worldwide attention received by the Tempelmans' project was once again apparent when they received the Martin Buber Award for their services to humanity. Mikhail Gorbachev, also a holder of the Martin Buber Award, was so taken by the Bingen company's commitment that he sent a message of greeting to the Catalogue Launch in Mainz.
The Magnet Heart has been ENERGETIX Bingen's best-selling product for years. The amount donated to the Hugo Tempelman Foundation is based on the number of MagnetHearts sold. Donations are made at regular intervals. Two euros are added to the donation for every MagnetHeart sold. The amount donated increases each time, in line with the company's growth. Amount donated so far (September 2010): 170,000 euros.
Martin Buber Award for our charity partner
On 15 November 2009 Dr. Hugo Tempelman and his wife Liesje were awarded the Martin Buber Award at Rolduc Abbey in Kerkrade in recognition of their work in South Africa.
Previous recipients of this award for services to humanity have included Richard von Weizsäcker, Helmut Schmidt and Mikhail Gorbachev. Having visited the Tempelman project in South Africa, ENERGETIX Bingen distributors were absolutely sure our donations were being used sensibly and effectively. This official recognition of our charity partner demonstrates once again that we made the right decision.
An ENERGETIX representative was present at the award ceremony, which was an extremely moving event.
ENERGETIX jewellery also had a role to play: the "Youth in Dialogue" event, in which young people from many countries participated, included a literature competition. Elisaveta, the charming winner from the Russian town of Perm, received as her prize a set of ENERGETIX Bingen jewellery.
"Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of the human family and the larger living world." From the preamble to the Earth Charter
Hugo and Liesje Tempelman run a mother-and-child project at the Ndlovu Medical Centre that they set up in Elandsdoorn. Thanks to comprehensive care before, during and after birth, 99% of the HIV-infected mothers at this clinic now give birth to healthy HIV-negative babies. Energetix Bingen, which has its headquarters in Germany, has understood that part of a successful company's responsibility is to help the weakest members of the human family and to open new perspectives for them. Energetix Bingen is deeply committed to supporting this project with your donations. Together with its distributors, this medium-sized company has so far donated 170,000 euros to the Ndlovu Medical Centre. The money will save the lives of hundreds of children. I welcome this noble humanitarian project and wish its initiators and participants ongoing success.

Polymer gel conformance treatment resulted in total incremental oil of 460,000 bbl at effective incremental rate of 630 bpd for the pattern.
Injector I-1 was initially drilled as a single wellbore, completed to inject into the Kuparuk C sand. To increase the injectivity and support the offset production, two sidetracks were later completed in C4, C2 and C1 sands. After sidetracks, the average injectivity of this well was about 6 bpd/psi and was at times showing as high as 9 to 11 bpd/psi, while the field average for similar wells was in the range of 1 to 5 bpd/psi.
Quick communication between this injector and its offset producers was confirmed by immediate gas breakthrough to the offsets during miscible gas (MI) injection. An inter-well tracer study also showed 30.2% of the injected tracer at injector I-1 recovered in three offset producers in 16 to 22 days indicating quick communication through highly conductive features/faults.
A polymer gel conformance treatment was recommended to address the communication and improve the oil recovery in this pattern. Use of high molecular weight (HMW) crosslinked polymer was specifically suggested to avoid penetration into the matrix with lower permeability.
Roughly 20,000 bbl of HMW polymer was injected in stages from 3,000 to 10,000 ppm at 40:1 polymer to crosslinker ratio. The injectivity was reduced from approximately 7 bpd/ psi to 1.3 bpd/psi during the treatment. The polymer gel was placed in the high permeability feature responsible for high water production, quick gas breakthrough and low sweep efficiency in this pattern without damaging the low permeability rock. The conformance treatment had an immediate impact on the injectivity of injector I-1, indicating the injection fluid being diverted to un-swept areas of the reservoir.
In summary, polymer gel conformance treatment resulted in total incremental oil of 460,000 bbl at effective incremental rate of 630 bpd for the pattern. Incremental oil production had to be corrected for the time that injector I-1 was down until it returned back to normal injection. A temporary decline in the trend of incremental oil production can be observed, which is due to lack of miscible gas injection in the pad.

The assets mapping and flood risk services developed by EUROSENSE s Work Package within SAFER have been assessed by a two-fold qualification test. They succeeded to be ranked at the highest positions.
The assets mapping and flood risk services, within the SAFER (Services and Applications For Emergency Response) project, address the needs of pan-European disaster preparedness and response. Four of these generic services responding to the ECs Flood Directive have recently been operationally checked by a test case on Albania: (i) BEAM - Basic European Assets Map displaying monetary values per area unit (e.g. /m²) and population distribution (inhabitants/m²) on country level, (ii) HiRAM -Higher Resolution Assets Map bridging the gap between covered area and level of detail, (iii) Past Flood Mapping and (iv) Flood Hazard /Risk Mapping.
The two-fold qualification procedure for operational implementation of SAFER services at the European level contained: (i) a service maturity assessment and (ii) a EUAC III user interest evaluation (among these users are the civil protection and humanitarian organisations). In the service maturity analysis our services had the four highest ranks (see figure). Three of our four services have been ranked in the five best services according to the user interest.
