Beaver Falls, PA - The Geneva men′s basketball team opened a three game stint against some of its favorite rivals on Saturday. The Golden Tornadoes took care of Penn State Beaver for the second time this season by the score of 76-59 as the Golden Tornadoes now look ahead to road games at Grove City and Westminster. The victory moved Geneva to 7-7 on the year while the Lions dropped to 8-5.
Both teams shot the ball extremely well in the first half and Geneva found its way to the locker room with a slim 31-29 lead. Geneva′s shooting continued to sizzle in the final 20 minutes, but Penn State cooled off as the Golden Tornadoes outscored the Lions 45-30 in the final 20 minutes. "We wanted to turn up the defensive intensity in the second half," said head coach Jeff Santarsiero. "Our defensive effort led to some easy baskets on the offensive end of the floor." Geneva shot 58% from the field for the game including an incredible 13-20 from the field in the final 20 minutes.
The Golden Tornadoes featured a balanced offensive attack led by Rich Colick′s 14 points. TJ Bevilacqua came off the bench for 12 points with Brandon Harvey and Lambros Svingos each chipping in with 11 points. Tony Houghton led the Lions with 21 points in the loss.
"It is nice to be back in Pennsylvania," said head coach Jeff Santarsiero. He was referring to Geneva′s 7-1 record within the Keystone state as he tries to forget the 0-6 mark out of state. The good news for Santarsiero and the Golden Tornadoes is that the final 11 regular season games will be within the Pennsylvania borders. "Our guys certainly play with a feeling of comfort on the home floor," said Santarsiero. "We are going to have to learn how to win on the road, but right now we are happy with where we are at this point of the season."
Geneva will travel to Grove City and Westminster next week before returning home to face Waynesburg on January 20th.

Sorry, as assholish as this might sound to some, I do not want $500 million worth of health care benefits in California going children who are here illegally. That may seem cold, but I'm trying to be as rational as possible in my stance against illegal immigration, and remaining consistent is a large part of that. Enough unsanctioned funds are diverted to illegal aliens in this country, and especially in this state. I don't think we should be working to provide sanctioned monetary rewards to people who are breaking the law.
Besides, there are millions of children in this country whose legal status is not in question, and who are also not insured. I think it would be prudent to focus on them first.
They will settle for governor's plan
By Ed Mendel
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITERJune 20, 2006
SACRAMENTO Moving to ease a state budget deadlock, Democratic legislative leaders are dropping their push for a $300 million expansion of a health care program that would include illegal immigrant children.
Democrats are willing to settle for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposal to provide $23 million for children's health care programs operated by 18 counties, enough to serve an estimated 24,000 additional children.
But the Republican governor's proposal still faces opposition from legislators in his own party because his plan would provide government funds for programs that serve illegal immigrants.
Senate President Pro Tempore Don Perata, D-Oakland, told the Sacramento Press Club yesterday that Democrats took the big expansion off the table because we do not want the budget to get hung up on that particular point.
Instead, Perata said Democrats will push a major expansion of children's health care in a separate bill, which is likely to be vetoed by Schwarzenegger if it passes the Legislature.
Schwarzenegger said last week that although he thinks illegal immigrant children should have the right to schooling and health care, he opposes the Democratic plan because it costs too much and the state still has a deficit.
The Democratic plan would make more children eligible for the Healthy Families program that provides health care for children in families that earn too much to qualify for the Medi-Cal program for the poor, but not enough to buy health insurance.
More than 780,000 California children are enrolled in Healthy Families, but an estimated 225,000 are eligible although not enrolled. Schwarzenegger said he wants to increase enrollment before expanding eligibility.
The Democratic plan would remove the current Healthy Families prohibition against serving illegal immigrants and increase the eligibility income limit, now 250 percent of the federal poverty level.
The Healthy Families expansion proposed by Democrats would not actually begin until July 2007. The Democratic budget for the new fiscal year beginning on July 1 only had $1.8 million to begin planning the Healthy Families expansion, with the bulk of the spending phased in in subsequent years.
In addition, the Healthy Families expansion would have become inoperative if voters approve an initiative, expected to be on the November ballot, that would raise the tobacco tax to fund a number of health programs.
Perata said he would be pretty surprised if the initiative, which would accomplish most of the goals of the Democratic proposal to expand Healthy Families, is not approved by voters.
Schwarzenegger proposed $23 million for the 18 county children's health programs to cover applicants on waiting lists who can not be served because of a lack of funds. San Diego does not have such a program.
The county programs, funded by a variety of public and private sources, do not exclude the children of illegal immigrants. Republicans, who must provide a handful of votes to pass a budget, oppose giving the programs state money.
Illegal immigration is such a hot-button issue, said Assembly Republican leader George Plescia of La Jolla. I just don't think there are any Republican votes if that is in there.

Height requirement for booster seats
Booster seats are used to position a child or toddler in a car seat that's designed to fit an adult. Without a booster seat, the child may not be in the correct position to allow a seat belt and shoulder harness to protect him in the event of an accident.
Booster seat height, age and weight requirements vary by each state. When in doubt, it's usually best to go with the most stringent safety requirements.
Car seats
Booster seats are required for children who have outgrown their car seats. States often set age, weight and height requirements for booster seats. Rear-facing infant seats are usually required until a child is 1 year old or 9kg. in weight. Forward-facing car seats are usually required until a child is 18kg. to 36kg. Car seats are required for height of less than 90cm (36 inches) in Texas, 100cm (40 inches) in Kentucky, 137cm (54 inches) in Rhode Island and 144cm (57 inches) in Hawaii. After these specifications have been exceeded, most states require the use of a booster seat.
Booster seats
A booster seat is usually a specially designed bottom support to "boost" the child to a level where the seat belt and shoulder harness are effective in the event of a crash. Some booster seats also have side protection that encompasses the child's torso, neck and head. Maximum age for required booster use varies from four years in Alaska, five years in Florida and Texas, to six to eight years in most other states. Note that the minimum age for not using a booster seat doesn't relieve the requirements for minimum height or weight to use adult restraints.
Height requirements
Children must use a booster seat until they exceed a height of 50 inches in Kentucky, 139cm (55 inches) in New Hampshire, and 144cm (57 inches) in most other states. Not all states have a height requirement for booster seats. For combined height, weight and age requirements, see Resource 1.
Safety initiatives
Many states are turning toward a minimum safety standard for adult passenger restraints. These are widely accepted as eight years' minimum age and 36kg. or more in weight. Following a more stringent standard is the safest path to follow when deciding if your child should be in a booster seat or not.
State requirements
Check with your state's Department of Motor Vehicles for current regulations regarding child seats. These laws are changing frequently with pressure for more stringent safety for our children. After a child has passed the age, weight and height specifications for a car seat, he is usually required to use a booster seat. The booster seat must be used until the child reaches a minimum height, weight or age. Beyond that point, it's permissible to allow the child to use the standard adult safety belt and shoulder harness.


text: Safety advice Drowning For young children, there is a real risk of drowning in the home or garden, including neighbours' gardens. As they get older, the risks are associated more with children exploring and challenging themselves around water. As children grow in confidence they can over-estimate their abilities. How can drowning be prevented? At home, younger children are most likely to drown in the bath or garden pond. It's important for parents to understand the risks of babies and young children being left alone, even for a moment. They may get no warning that something is wrong, as babies drown silently in as little as 5 cm of water. Children under 8 need to be supervised in and around water. They might understand safety instructions but are likely to forget in the heat of the moment. Remember that children don't cry out for help and wave to be rescued. Instead they disappear under the surface of the water, often unseen. As children become stronger swimmers, it's important to educate both them and their parents about water safety. They may still lack the strength and skills to get themselves out of trouble if they find themselves in strong currents or deep water, or discover too late dangerous objects lurking in the water. Whether you're educating parents about the risks to their young child, or trying to get across messages to children about being aware of risks around water, there are lots of simple messages. A few examples of the messages you'll find in CAPT's resources are: Stay with your baby all the time when they're in the bath, even if there is an older brother or sister in the bath with them. If you have a pond and a young child or baby, they will be safer if you fill it in, fence it off or securely cover it. And make sure your garden is secure, so your child can't get to the neighbour's pond. Children under 8 years old need to be supervised in and around water. They might understand instructions but are likely to forget if they are having fun or are excited. Teach older children to choose safe places to swim, such as public pools and beaches patrolled by lifeguards, rather than canals, gravel pits and rivers. More information CAPT's range of leaflets and booklets will support you in your work with parents and carers by underlining the key safety messages. The leaflets are written with different stages of child development in mind, and are a key support tool when teaching parents about child accident prevention.

What the Outdoor World Can Do for Girls
It was before my last summer trip to Hvar that I randomly downloaded a few books for my kindle not knowing even that this will become the most useful and fun book on it. On the Trail; An Outdoor Book for Girls was written in 1915 – long before all electronic devices, apps, navigations, solar energy chargers, heaters, fancy outdoor equipment and highly functional outerwear. It´s also a bit weird that I´m reading it on my Kindle 101 years after it was released. I would prefer a book, but this will do for now. Here are some parts from the book, to get a feeling what I´m talking about.
The joyous, exhilarating call of the wilderness and the forest camp is surely and steadily penetrating through the barriers of brick, stone, and concrete; through the more or less artificial life of town and city; and the Ameri-can girl is listening eagerly. It is awakening in her long-ings for free, wholesome, and adventurous outdoor life, for the innocent delights of nature-loving Thoreau and bird-loving Burroughs. Sturdy, independent, self-reliant, she is now demanding outdoor books that are genuine and filled with practical information; books that tell how to do worth-while things, that teach real woodcraft and are not adapted to the girl supposed to be afraid of a caterpillar or to shudder at sight of a harmless snake. "
In answer to the demand, "On the Trail" has been written. The authors' deep desire is to help girls respond to this new, insistent call by pointing out to them the open trail. It is their hope and wish that their girl readers may seek the charm of the wild and may find the same happiness in the life of the open that the American boy has enjoyed since the first settler built his little cabin on the shores of the New World. To forward this object, the why and how, the where and when of things of camp and trail have been embodied in this book. (On the trail;Lina Beard, Delia Belle Beard;Flushing, N. Y., March i6, 1915.)
There is a something in you, as in every one, every man, woman, girl, and boy, that requires the tonic life of the wild. You may not know it, many do not, but there is a part of your nature that only the wild can reach, satisfy, and develop. The much-housed, over- heated, overdressed, and over-entertained life of most girls is artificial, and if one does not turn away from and leave it for a while, one also becomes greatly artificial and must go through life not knowing the joy, the strength, the poise that real outdoor life can give. (On the Trail; An Outdoor Book for Girls)
On the trail
Can you find your way and stay safe after your phone goes dead? You say you watch Bear Grylls, so do I, but can you really make shelter, fire, navigate and recognize animal tracks. If your answer to at least one of those is No, I highly recommend you get your hands on this book.
Because it was written long before the plastic took over the world all camping equipment is made from natural materials. Although I do recommend getting a little bit more modern outerwear than shown in this photo. But it does look really stylish. :)
On the Trail with Your Camera
I almost never hike without my camera. I used to carry around my Zenit film camera, but since i upgraded to my new Nikon, I bring it everywhere with me. So how many selfies and GoPro shots you take while trailing around? This is how the outdoor photography looked like 100 years ago.
In selecting a camera remember that every ounce in weight counts as two when on the long trail, and that to have to carry it in your hand is most troublesome and inconvenient. The folding camera, which can be hung over your shoulder with a strap, is therefore the best; and do not try to carry plates, they are too heavy.
A very important thing to learn when taking photographs is to be economical with your films, and especially is this so when on the trail, for your supply is then necessarily limited.
It is a good idea to plan your pictures so that they will illustrate your trip from beginning to end. A snap-shot of your party starting on the trail, another of the country through which you pass, with, perhaps, one or two figures in it, and the remainder of the films used on objects of interest found on the way. If you can secure pictures of any wild animals you may see, they will make the series doubly interesting and valuable. (On the trail)
If you are an outdoor girl, you will absolutely love this book. After all this time it´s still on point with all the tips and tricks. Our lives are a lot more modern and we rely on all our gadgets. But when they let us down, can we find our way?
You can download this book in many forms right here. Go out my Bear Grylls ladies and stay wild.
Cheers from island Hvar,

Airedale provides backdrop for launch of Lord Adonis' Report
Date: 01st July 2014 | Posted by: Airedale Team | Posted in: Press release
Airedale Air Conditioning, Leeds, UK, July 1, 2014
Leeds-based specialist cooling manufacturer and exporter, Airedale International, today (1 July 2014) provided the backdrop for an event to launch Lord Adonis' report entitled 'Mending the Fractured Economy: Smarter State, Better Jobs'.
The Report is the output of a review commissioned by the Labour Party to understand the main barriers to growth for regional employers and is based on consultation events held in 10 UK cities including Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Leeds, Manchester, Milton Keynes, London, Newcastle, Oxford and Sheffield. The findings of the initial review identified a number of issues believed to be holding back business growth including skills shortages, particularly for technical roles, and a lack of targeted city-region investment in transport and housing, in addition to other barriers such as access to finance, support for exporters and targeted support for R&D and innovation.
The event was led by Ed Miliband, MP, leader of the Labour Party and leader of the Opposition and Lord Andrew Adonis, UK shadow infrastructure minister. Members of Airedale's workforce and senior representatives from some of Leeds' most prominent public and private sector organisations also attended, giving them the opportunity to raise questions with the Labour leader.
Airedale has a 40-year long history in the design and manufacture of high technology cooling solutions for the data centre, process and retail industries, and an impressive client base which includes names such as HSBC, IBM, the John Lewis Partnership, the London Stock Exchange, Vodafone and the Victoria & Albert Museum. The business is unique in that it is the only UK manufacturer to offer such depth and breadth of product and service. Formed in 1974, it exports to 60 countries worldwide and has production facilities in South Africa and offices in Moscow and Dubai.
The business is typical of the challenges identified in the review. Built on the back of the region's strong manufacturing and engineering heritage, Airedale believes that continuous investment and innovation are essential to its success. As a major employer in the region, Airedale performs a vital role in the local economy, creating sustainable employment across the spectrum from apprenticeships to graduate opportunities. With the UK market approaching saturation point, Airedale is pursuing growth through export markets which it says requires wider access to funding and government support and a commitment to promoting 'Brand GB' around the globe.
Managing Director, Clive Parkman, said: "We are delighted that Airedale was chosen to host today's event. As one of the region's largest manufacturers, we recognise that positive support from government and a strong relationship with local education providers are key to developing the necessary skills and knowledge that enable us to develop our people and so underpin our growth potential and future success.
"We welcome this review and hopefully the subsequent actions that will provide the right investment, appropriately targeted, to enable the training and development of people of all ages for the benefit of UK business."
Airedale today (1 July 2014) hosted an event to launch a report by Lord Andrew Adonis, commissioned by the Labour Party, entitled: 'Mending the Fractured Economy: Smarter State, Better Jobs'.
The Report is based on a series of consultation events organised by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) held in ten UK cities, including Leeds, and involving more than 200 employers.
We would like to make it clear that the company was happy to provide the venue on behalf of Leeds and the Yorkshire region. Airedale does not align itself as a supporter of any individual political party but, given the topics for today's agenda are issues which are central to the success of businesses like Airedale, we were pleased to host the event and promote the Leeds region.

Why Windows 8.1 for Business? Build No-code Business Apps with Windows 8.1, Project Siena and Microsoft Azure (Part 2)
Project Siena is super-cool, because it extends the ability to build real data-driven business apps to non-developers inside organizations: that is, the business experts and power users who, in many cases, know the inner meaning of business data better than anyone else in an organization. In Part 1 of this three-part article mini-series, I provided an overview of Project Siena as a new no-code app building tool for Windows 8.1.
In this article, we'll continue our exploration of Project Siena by stepping through the process of building a real no-code Windows 8.1 app together, with our focus on setting up the data source that our app will consume in Microsoft Azure Mobile Services. In Part 3, we'll then build the Windows 8.1 client app to consume this data and publish it for either internal app distribution (aka., sideloading Windows 8.1 apps) or public distribution via the Windows Store.
What's the app that we're building?
Earlier in Part 1, we discussed several common patterns for building no-code apps with Project Siena. We'll be using one of these common patterns for our new app: apps that consume and present data. Specifically, we'll be building an app that presents a video-based lesson plan around training IT Pros on Hyper-V from a VMware Admin's Perspective. This app leverages content that my good friend, Andy Syrewicze, and I completed earlier this year with our TechNet Radio publishing team. Note that this is just one example of the many app ideas that can be quickly built as no-code apps using Project Siena.
Here's a screenshot of the finished sample app that we'll be building together …
Our example Project Siena application
This app presents a scrollable left-to-right image gallery across the top for each training module in the series. When an image is tapped in the gallery, a description of the module is displayed and the associated video automatically begins playing. At the bottom of the app, a button links to a prescribed set of hands-on next steps for continued learning on that topic area. As a data-driven app, all of the data needed for displaying the image gallery, videos, descriptions and next steps will be pulled by the app from the cloud-based Azure Mobile Services database that we'll be defining in this article.
This app is currently available for free in the Windows Store for download and installation, so you can easily grab a copy of it to take a closer look.
It all starts with data …
When building a data-driven app in Project Siena, we'll need to setup our data source first. Project Siena supports several common data sources, including Excel workbooks, SharePoint lists, Azure Mobile Services and more …
Data sources available for Project Siena apps
For this app, we'll be using Azure Mobile Services as a cloud-based data source that it is globally accessible by users via an Internet connection. In addition, Azure Mobile Services will provide a central data source location that can be easily updated with new training modules and/or changes when they become available, without the need to make and deploy updates to the client app itself.
Provision a new Azure Mobile Service
In the following steps, we'll proceed through building an Azure Mobile Services data source for our app. This data source will provide the title, description, thumbnail and URL information for each training module displayed in our app.
- Activate a Microsoft Azure Free Trial subscription ( if you don't currently have an active subscription ).
- Sign-in at the Azure Management Portal with the same credentials used to activate your subscription.
- On the bottom toolbar of the Azure Management Portal, click New | Compute | Mobile Service | Create. This will launch the Create a Mobile Service form.
Create a new Azure Mobile Service
- On the Create a Mobile Service form, complete the following fields:
URL: enter a globally unique name for your new Azure Mobile Service
Database: Create a free 20 MB SQL database
Region: Select the region closest to your users
Backend: JavaScript
Click the button to continue to the next form page.
- Complete the fields on the Specify database settings form to create a new Azure SQL database and server instance.
Specify database settings for new Azure Mobile Service
Name: Specify a unique name for your database
Server: Select New SQL database server
Server Login Name & Password: Specify the Admin credentials to be provisioned on the new SQL database server
Region: Select the same region as used for the Mobile Service in Steps 3 & 4 above.
Click the button to begin provisioning the new Azure Mobile Service and SQL database.
After the new Azure Mobile Service has been provisioned, it will be displayed on the Mobile Services page in the Azure Management Portal with a status of Ready.
Congratulations! Your new Azure Mobile Service has been provisioned in the Cloud!
Adding Tables to Azure Mobile Services
Now that your new Azure Mobile Service has been provisioned, we'll need to add tables to it for storing the data that Project Siena will ultimately consume.
Follow the below steps to define two new data tables in the Azure Mobile Service: episodes and zz_config. The episodes table will be used to store data for each video-based module that will be displayed in our app. The zz_config table is a special metadata table that Project Siena uses to discover the tables that are available for Siena apps.
- On the Mobile Services page, click on the name of your new Azure Mobile Service to drill into the detailed dashboard page for that Mobile Service.
- Click on the Data tab.
- On the bottom toolbar, click the Create button to create a new table named episodes with the properties shown below.
Click the button to create the episodes table.
- On the bottom toolbar, click the Create button again to create a new table named zz_config with the properties shown below.
Click the button to create the zz_config table.
You should now see two tables defined in your Azure Mobile Services database, as shown below.
Adding Columns to Tables in Azure Mobile Services
Using the steps below, you'll add columns to each table for storing the data elements that Project Siena will consume.
- On the Data tab of your Azure Mobile Service, click on the name of the episodes table.
- Click on the Columns tab and add the columns shown below by using the Add Column button on the bottom toolbar.
Be sure to remove any default columns in the table that are not shown above.
- Click on the name of the zz_config table in the left navigation area.
- Click on the Columns tab and add the columns shown below by using the Add Column button on the bottom toolbar.
Be sure to remove any default columns in the table that are not shown above.
Adding Data to Azure Mobile Services
Finally, we'll need to add rows of data into each table that Project Siena will consume. Azure Mobile Services uses an Azure SQL Database for storing the tables and columns of data, so we can add and manage the necessary data using any common tool that can connect to SQL Server, such as Microsoft Access or SQL Server Management Studio. However, to keep our steps as simple as possible, we'll use the web-based management tools for Azure SQL Databases to input this data.
On the left navigation bar in the Azure Management Portal, click SQL Databases.
On the SQL Databases page, select the database for your Azure Mobile Service and click Manage on the bottom toolbar. If prompted to add a firewall rule to permit SQL connections from your current IP address, be sure to click Yes to add this rule.
When prompted, sign-in to the Management Portal for Azure SQL Database using the credentials specified when creating the database above.
On the Tables page, click the Edit button located next to the episodes table.
Click the Data tab and then click the Add row button to add each row of data needed for the training modules to be displayed in the Project Siena app.
Click the Save button on the top toolbar to save the data when complete.
Note: You can download a worksheet with my sample data here for convenience.
Click on Tables on the top breadcrumb trail to navigate back to the list of tables.
Click the Edit button located next to the zz_config table.
Click the Data tab and then click the Add row button to add a single row that will be used by Project Siena to discover the available data tables in the data source.
When entering this row of data, be sure to use these column values:
id: 0
key: table
value: episodes
Click the Save button on the top toolbar to save the data when complete.
The Azure Mobile Services data source is now defined and populated with data, ready for Project Siena to consume.
Join me for part 3 to build the client app in Project Siena …
Be sure to join me for part 3 of this three-part article mini-series, where we'll step through the process of using Project Siena to build a Windows 8.1 client app to consume the data source we've defined in Azure Mobile Services.

DALLAS (CBS) The Tampa Bay Lightning (19-23-4) came into last night's game with a chip on their shoulder.
A month went by without a single win on the road, but with the help of Teddy Purcell the Lightning secured a 2-1 win at the American Airlines Center to snap their six-game road skid dating back to Dec. 17.
Purcell scored the only two goals for Tampa Bay, and Mathieu Garon stopped 27 shots to give the bolts a much needed win away from home. Tampa Bay has surrendered the most goals in the NHL(160) up to this point, and last night they held a struggling Dallas squad to one goal after allowing three or more goals during a span of their last seven games.
Steven Stamkos and Vincent Lecavalier have grown accustomed to placing the team on their backs when times get tough, but Purcell stepped up last night and emerged as the Lighnting's lone threat.
He opened the scoring late in the first with a wrister through the five-hole of Kari Lehtonen to put the bolts up 1-0. Tampa Bay outshot the Stars 13-5 during the opening period, which paid dividends in the long run. Tampa Bay's defense remained stout the entire night, holding Dallas to 0-for-4 on the power play.
Tom Wandell brought the Stars even 1:22 into the first with Dallas' only goal of the night, but it wouldn't be enough to snap their four-game losing streak. They've managed to score only four goals in their last four games, which explains their recent winless drought.
Purcell scored the winning goal at 3:36 in the third when he took a lead pass from Martin St. Louis and finished a very difficult backhanded shot passed Lehtonen for his 11th of the year. St. Louis assisted Purcell on both of his goals, and he deserves a lot of the credit for the win last night.
With Victor Hedman and Marc-Andre Bergeron out with injuries, Tampa Bay has played surprisingly well in the absence of two key players in the Lightning's defensive scheme. If the bolts can continue to hold teams to one or two goals a game, they will have a chance to win more games without having to score five or more goals every night.
Tonight they head to Phoenix to face the Coyotes to wrap up their brief road trip out west.

"Scorched-earth" means destroying everything that might be useful to an adversary. The history of war contains many examples, from William Tecumseh Sherman's March to the Sea during the American Civil War to the Russian Army's strategy during Napoleon's failed invasion of Russia.
Destroying the food and water supply of the civilian population is specifically prohibited by the Geneva Convention. Although the US has never ratified the protocols of this 1977 document, the US did sign the document indicating a willingness to work toward ratification.
Have Trump and Trump's Chumps created a scorched-earth campaign against the environment? It appears that they have.
Trump, through executive orders, and the Congress, through resolutions and Congressional Review of regulations, seem bent on destroying not only the climate, but also the air and water of the United States of America.
Both the House and Senate have approved a resolution that eliminates the Stream Protection Rule. That rule was designed to prevent coal-mining debris from being dumped into nearby streams. It required coal companies to set aside money to restore the environment after they had extracted coal.
The Stream Protection Rule was critical to protecting fragile ecosystems and to limiting the amount of toxic heavy metals in water supplies.
Coal is the dirtiest of fossil fuels. Trump's campaign for clean coal is a lie. There is no such thing as clean coal. Yet this action was a victory for the coal companies. It was a huge loss for the American People and a huge loss for the environment.
The House has voted to overturn a rule that was designed to restrict burning off ("flaring") methane gas (CH4) during drilling operations on public lands. The Senate is scheduled to do so next week.
When this rule is killed, drillers will be allowed to burn off methane from oil drilling and production.
Methane combines with oxygen in the air (O2) creating carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O), both of which are greenhouse gasses.
Flaring also wastes millions of dollars of methane (which is the main component of natural gas) that could be used for fuel.
Using present technology, at least 40% of the methane which is currently flared, could be captured and used. Natural gas is the cleanest of all fossil fuels.
The death of the Methane Gas Emission Rule was a victory for the petroleum industry and the Koch Brothers. It was a huge loss for the American people and a huge loss for the environment.
What will the Congressional Sheep do next? Overturn the truck fuel-economy rule?
When will Trump and his camorra target the Bill of Rights?
[Actually, they already have. More on that in future blogs.]
Geneva Convention: Google the term, start with Wikipedia, follow links there and then check http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/586 and its links.
Resolutions and Actions Taken to Destroy the Environment:
Destruction of Citizen-Owned Natural Resources:

Matt Damon and Emily Blunt get romantic before running for their lives.
THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU directed by George Nolfi, written by Nolfi from a story by Philip K. Dick, with Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, John Slattery and Anthony Mackie. A Universal Pictures release. 105 minutes. Opens Friday (March 4). For venues, trailers, and times, see Movies. Rating: NNNN
After decades of near misses, someone's finally made a great movie out of a Philip K. Dick story - by throwing out almost everything and spinning the concept in an entirely new direction.
A nimble, genre-shifting hybrid of political drama, conspiracy thriller and romantic comedy, The Adjustment Bureau stars Matt Damon as a New York politician who meets the girl of his dreams (Emily Blunt) only to discover that a mysterious team of suits (led by John Slattery and Anthony Mackie) is bent on keeping him from ever seeing her again.
Our hero's immediate response to this cosmic predicament - pissy defiance, followed by an attempt to run away - is uniquely, wonderfully human, and it sets the emotional stakes for the rest of George Nolfi's remarkable debut.
The Adjustment Bureau is exactly what I needed after this miserable winter: a smart, resourceful picture that demonstrates that even the most ridiculous premise can be made to work if you get the tone right.

Fifth Ave. Comes Uptown
Holland spoke about the remarkable transformation of Harlem over the last few years and his plans to lure entertainers, executives, and upper middle class African Americans back Uptown.
Business News
Harlem has always had a mix of socio-economic classes amongst its predominately African American residents.
Anyone who thinks Harlem is just another American "ghetto" needs to check the historical facts. I can speak passionately about this subject because I was raised in Harlem, specifically, Sugar-hill, which holds a number of national landmarks that are within blocks of each other.
There's building 409 on 155th and Edgecomb, which was once the residence of Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall, Langston Hughes, and Zora Neal Hurston. Other historical landmarks were the old Theresa Hotel, The Apollo, The Cotton Club, The Savoy and others. Harlem was most definitely the place to be for all Black New Yorkers during the twenties, and whites who wanted to experience the Renaissance.
Now, a dynamic entrepreneur and developer wants to recreate Harlem's tradition of luxury and excellence Uptown—his name is Joseph Holland, and he's President of Uptown Partners. "As a third generation Harlem resident I am grateful for the new renaissance emerging in Harlem which will return this great community to its glory," he tells The Black Star News.
He's about to complete a 28-story luxury condominium called Fifth on the Park; the property is located on Fifth Avenue between 119th and 120th Streets and will face the historic Mount Morris Park, also known as Marcus Garvey Park.
Holland spoke about the remarkable transformation of Harlem over the last few years and his plans to lure entertainers, executives, and upper middle class African Americans back Uptown.
A graduate of Harvard Law School, Holland devoted the earlier part of his career to working with the homeless in Harlem. He is cofounder of the Beth-Hark Crisis Center to counsel substance abusers and the Hark Homes, shelter for the homeless. He also partnered with businesses to create employment opportunities for the homeless, leading to the first inner city American Express Travel office and a Ben & Jerry's ice cream franchise. Former Governor George Pataki recognized Holland's important work in the community and appointed him State Housing Commissioner in 1995.
Fifth On The Park opens in the summer of 2008. It will have a 40-feet elegant art-filled atrium lobby, doorman and concierge services, valet parking and underground garage, a magnificent 55-feet indoor lap swimming pool and fitness center, unobstructed views of the park, terraces and large common indoor and outdoor spaces.
There are 38 different layouts for the building's 160 lavish apartments. Prices range from $356, 200 for a studio and $719, 400 for a two bedroom; then there are three- bedroom duplexes for $1.7 - $2.6 million, and three-bedroom duplexes with terraces ranging from $2.1 -$2.8 million.
Another one of Uptown Partner's buildings, The Lenox, located on 129th and 130th streets and Lenox Avenue is currently 70% sold.
Holland takes pride in always looking out for the community's needs even as he builds.
While working on The Lenox, Uptown Partners purchased the vacant lots and worked with The Pentecostal Faith Church. An empty space was transformed into property which will benefit the community.
Both of Holland's properties will also become home to a Church sanctuary. A 1,800-seat church will be built within the Fifth On The Park's complex; it will have a beautiful stained glass design. A new modern church will also be built adjacent from The Lenox.
Holland has had a number of careers. He's been a Partner in a major law-firm, a motivational speaker, a playwright, a father, and husband.

I then moved to Alpharetta, Georgia during 8th grade. I spent four years at Milton High School and then graduated and attended **Valdosta State University**. Valdosta State was the worst year of my life and would never advise anyone to go there. After my year in Mug central I transferred to the greatest school which is Georgia Southern University, which is where I am currently. I am studying Business Administration and Economics.

In India, A 43-years-old Mother Successfully Donates Her Womb To Her 21-years-old Daughter
In India, an old woman of about 43-years-old donated her womb to her 21-years-old daughter with the regards that her daughter will be able to have pregnant and give birth to offspring in the future as the 21-years-old baby was born without uterus.
The womb transfer surgery between this alleged mother and her daughter is the first of its kind in India's history. It was successfully performed by a team of respected and veteran doctors at Pune's Galaxy Care Hospital located in Pune City of South-West India.
The First in India of womb transfer surgery between the 43-years-old Woman and her 21-years-old daughter was performed by the team of doctors yesterday and was led by the hospital medical director, Doctor Shailesh Puntambekar. As it was reported, the womb transfer lasted for 9-hours, 30-minutes and fortunately, the surgery was successful as the 43-years-old woman and her daughter are fine without any pain or blood spillage.
The doctors said the 21-years-old lady who received womb from her mother will have to be patient and Wait for at least a year before she thinks of getting pregnant because, her body system needs enough time to heal and adapt to the new uterus.
She is currently under thorough observation in case of any impromptu incident for some days.
The Hospital Medical Director, Dr. Shailesh Puntambekar said:
- "The patient was born without a uterus and she wanted to have her own baby and was not ready for adoption or surrogacy. Since they knew about the uterus transplant, they approached us and accepted the surgery option. Fortunately, her mother was found to be a medically suitable uterus donor for her."
The doctor explained that the womb transfer between the 43-years-old woman and her 21-years-old was very tedious and technically tough as they battled tensely with their veins and arteries.
He said:
- "The procedure is difficult because multiple large arteries are to be joined there, and veins that are small and short. It is technically very tough."
A professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at Sweden's University of Gothenburg, Dr. Mats Brännström said only six babies has ever been produced from womb transfer, two from the same mother. He said they will been watching out maybe this India's first womb transfer will result to a birth but Dr. Puntambekar said he is confident and felt relaxed that the 21-years-old lady will give birth in the future.

Get job handed off to me by someone who didn't want it. Quote job. Custom everything. High costs of material and labor. Confirm pricing with boss. Send bid. Customer says bid is double. Forwards email. Guy who didn't want it gave preliminary pricing but didn't give that information. Boss mad at coworker. Coworker mad at me. Customer mad at me. We look like we don't know what we're doing. Impossible to match quote from previous pricing. I did everything by the book and this is what happened.
This is why I hate touching other people's work. Even if it's given away or transferred, always missing information. Could be an email, phone conversation, who knows. Not me. Not if you don't tell me.

Directions{{model.addEditText}} Print
- Stir together yeast, 1/2 cup flour and warm water in a large bowl. Cover and let sit in a warm spot for about 30 minutes.
- Stir beer, remaining flour and salt into the bowl. Mix until all the flour is incorporated and forms a thick sticky dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 2 hours, until doubled in size.
- Scrape all the dough from the bowl with a rubber spatula, and place on a well-floured surface. Generously flour the top of the dough and form into a loaf shape.
- Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal. Transfer loaf to the baking sheet and sprinkle the top with flour. Cover loosely with a towel and let rise for 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Place a small loaf pan of warm water on a lower rack to humidify the oven.
- Slash a long slit in the top of the loaf with a sharp knife or razor. Place the baking sheet on the rack above the pan of warm water in the oven. Bake for 35 minutes, until the loaf is golden brown.
- Transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.

I've added rosemary and garlic to this recipe and cut out the extra flour on top and my fiance LOVES it!
Delicious and easy. I did need to add about a half cup more flour to make it not so sticky, and baked only 25 min.

NOTE: I am NOT an industry INSIDER. Do not take the following speculation as CONFIRMATION.
Will people still get their nightly fix of super-wealthy jerks and convoluted romances? As far as I can interpret things, SOAPnet may stick around after March 24th:
We're excited to announce that cult hit Veronica Mars is coming to SOAPnet! Starting on Saturday, April 7, Veronica Mars will air Saturdays from 1pm/12c to 4pm/3c, and Sundays from 10am/9c to 1pm/12c.
So, there will be a SOAPnet? Hold on:
"Yes, it's true that ABC Family has been given the opportunity to work with SOAPnet during the transition of the channel to Disney Junior," a spokesperson tells Soaps In Depth. "There are some great programming opportunities and numerous cable operation protocols/systems between the two groups that make this a smart move."
SOAPnet should stick around as a block sharing time with Disney Junior. Maybe Veronica Mars will stick around after the transition as part of Disney Junior's weekend schedule? Nope; SOAPnet & Disney Junior are distinct channels.
[…]As such, SOAPnet will remain available for an undetermined period of time as additional carriage deals for Disney Junior are finalized with distributors."
– From Soaps In Depth article
I see that the transition is not coming along smoothly. SOAPnet was supposed to be a goner last month.
While I'm not a fan of the soap opera genre, I do sneak a peek at never-ending Newman-Abbot feud. Hopefully ABC/Disney will get rid of SOAPnet so that there will be a nightly home to melodramatic shakeups.

Getting started
Yue is a bundle of libraries that can be used to create cross platform GUI programs, currently it includes:
- Chromium's
baselibrary for basic cross platform APIs like string manipulation and filesystem operations;
- The
nativeuilibrary for cross platform GUI.
Please note that there is no documentation on the
base library, you have to
read the header files on how to use it.
Documentation of
nativeui library is part of this site.
base library
Though the
base library is undocumented, there are few guides to help you
learn it:
It is strongly recommended to read all of the guides before using
A minimal GUI program using
nativeui library
#include "base/command_line.h"
#include "nativeui/nativeui.h"
#if defined(OS_WIN)
int WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int) {
base::CommandLine::Init(0, nullptr);
int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) {
base::CommandLine::Init(argc, argv);
// Intialize GUI toolkit.
nu::Lifetime lifetime;
// Initialize the global instance of nativeui.
nu::State state;
// Create window with default options, and then show it.
scoped_refptr<nu::Window> window(new nu::Window(nu::Window::Options()));
window->SetContentView(new nu::Label("Hello world"));
window->SetContentSize(nu::SizeF(400, 400));
// Quit when window is closed.
window->on_close.Connect([](nu::Window*) {
// Enter message loop.
return 0;
Building the program with prebuilt static library
There is no assumption on which build system you should use, to use Yue, you can
download the
libyue_VERSION_PLATFORM_ARCH.zip archive from the
Releases page, which includes header files and prebuilt static
libraries of Yue.
The libyue zip archive includes following files:
include- Headers of
lib- Debug and Release builds of static libraries, the filename of Debug version ends with a
sample_app- A sample app using Yue.
CMakeLists.txt- An example cmake file building the sample app.
If you are interested in integrating Yue into a build system, you can look into
CMakeLists.txt on which compilation options should be used.
Quick start with CMake
CMake can generate projects according to your preferences, this is a quick start tutorial if you are too lazy to learn CMake.
Enter the directory of libyue and create a
buildsub-directory for building.
cd libyue_VERSION_PLATFORM_ARCH mkdir build cd build
Generate project and then build.
cmake .. -G Xcode open YueSampleApp.xcodeproj
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. make ./sample_app
Note that on Windows you need to manually speicfy the version of Visual Studio and the architecture to build for.
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 Win64" start YueSampleApp.sln
For certain versions of Visual Studio you also need to manually set the "sample_app" as startup project.

In an executive order issued Thursday, Gov. Rick Scott called on counties not to limit the public's access to beaches, and he directed the Department of Environmental Protection to make sure it happens.
Executive Order 18-202 is all about "confusion" over HB 631, sponsored by Sen. Kathleen Passidomo, R-Naples, and Rep. Katie Edwards-Walpole, D-Plantation. The bill passed the Florida Legislature with an overwhelming bipartisan majority and the governor signed it in March.
"Florida is home to the world's best beaches, and every Floridian and visitor has the right to fully enjoy our state's natural resources," Scott said. "Florida beaches belong to all of us, and people from across the world visit Florida because of them -- and we are going to keep it that way.
"Last session, HB 631 was passed with overwhelming support from both Democrats and Republicans. Unfortunately, the legislation has now created considerable confusion and some have even interpreted it as restricting beach access. I'm committed to keeping our beaches open to the public and this executive order makes this commitment clear.
"Today, I am ordering the Department of Environmental Protection to do everything in their power to advocate to keep our beaches open and public. Also, I am putting a moratorium on any new state regulation that could inhibit public beach access and also urging local government officials to take similar steps to protect Floridians' access to the beach. Government's job is to help solve problems, and in Florida, when there is an issue or confusion surrounding legislation, we take action to address it. Florida is the most beautiful state in the nation. We have hundreds of miles of pristine coastline and we are known for having the best beaches across the world. We absolutely cannot do anything that changes that."
Here is the action Scott's executive order takes to protect public beach access:
1. It imposes a moratorium on executive state agencies adopting any rule or restriction to inhibit the public's access to Florida's beaches, unless there is a clear risk to public safety;
2. It directs the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to serve as an advocate for the public's right to public beach access. This includes establishing an online reporting tool so Floridians with concerns about beach access can provide input. DEP will compile this input and submit a report to the Florida Legislature and the governor before the next legislative session. DEP will also serve as a liaison to local governments to ensure the public's right to access the beach is protected;
3. It urges all local government entities to not adopt any rule or ordinance that would restrict or eliminate the public's access to Florida's beaches. The governor is calling on every county in Florida to not take any action that limits access to beaches; and
4. It urges state attorneys in Florida to protect Floridians' constitutional right to access the beach.
Let's be honest. The governor didn't have to issue this order. He did it because people didn't understand the new law, they were making him the fall guy and he needed to make sure his and the bill's intentions are perfectly clear to Floridians.
A governor doesn't write legislation. He doesn't get to amend or change anything presented to him in a bill. But he is the head of state, and as such, political controversies invariably come back to haunt him, particularly in an election year. In this case, however, the Legislature was solving a huge and growing problem in new pockets of the state. Scott knew it. On top of that, Rep. Brad Drake and Sen. George Gainer, the two legislators representing Walton County in the state's northwest, where all the confusion started, voted for the bill. Something else a governor looks at very closely before he signs it.
Few Floridians outside the legal profession are familiar with the term "customary use." It's what this issue, this law, is all about. Customary use refers to public access to private beachfront property. Generally speaking, beachfront property owners in Florida own the "dry sand" area leading down to the mean high tide line -- the average of all the high-water heights observed over a period of several years. The land seaward of that, commonly known as the "wet sand" area, is held by the state in trust for the public.
The legislation didn't change "customary use," it simply provided a judicial process for counties and private property owners to follow, something that streamlined what previously was a lawyer-enriching circus -- a kind of death by a thousand cuts of unending litigation.
This was all new to Walton County. In all, 35 Florida counties have coastlines (see the map here.) Some of them had been through the entire appropriate and researched process with their waterfront private property owners. Not Walton, which cried foul after the bill passed, bringing negative attention to itself and to the new law.
The counties that had given themselves a head start, incidentally, were exempted from the bill because they had their process in place.
In plain English, all HB 631 does is block local governments from passing ordinances that would allow continued public entry to privately owned beaches -- even when property owners may want to block off their land. Instead, any city or county that wants to do that has to get a judge's approval first.
Bill co-sponsor Edwards-Walpole told Sunshine State News, "I hope counties like Walton will take advantage of HB 631 and pass a constitutional ordinance that will protect the public's ability to use private land, consistent with the customary use doctrine."
If the governor's executive order does nothing else, it should put anxious minds to rest -- particularly the vocal minority who don't understand the streamlined judicial process laid out in the bill. That would include business leaders and tourism officials across the state. Those folks have lamented in over-the-top interviews in the national and global press about "communities at war" over beach access.
Now, nearly two weeks after the law went into effect, Drake has announced town hall meetings (July 16 and 17) on the customary use in Walton County. Some fear his meetings will cause more confusion than clarity. The sheriff, the county commissioners, the state attorney and many others have attempted to quell the public and explain the situation. All without much success.
Within two hours of Scott issuing his order, Walton County Sheriff Michael Adkinson, Jr. took to Facebook Live in an effort to mitigate the public outcry and return Walton to calm. The sheriff, the peacekeeper, does at least keep trying.

Remember how we got cuts behind our ears because we pointed at the moon? Creepy stuff.
Blame it on our traditional society. Blame it on our superstitious mothers. Blame it on our black-faced fathers.
We, as Singaporean children, grew up with a mix of folklore and mythical warnings that kept us rooted to the customary behaviour — probably because nothing scared us more than the promise of a spirit's vengeance. Up to this day, we remember snippets of such ungrounded advices freely passed down and around this little town:
Don't point at the moon or you'll get a cut behind your ear.
Don't play with the swings past 7pm. (Widely believed that the transition hour happens around 7pm.)
Don't pick up coins on the floor.
Don't pee on trees without asking for permission.
Don't step on offerings.
Don't give shoes or umbrellas as presents.
Don't wash your hair at night!
Don't turn back with your head. (Apparently you have three holy candles to protect you, one on your head, and both sides of your shoulder. If someone taps you on your shoulder, don't turn your head to look back or you'll knock down the candle.)
Don't panic, but if you smell frangipani, there is a Pontianak nearby. If you hear distinct screaming, it's probably right beside you (and vice versa).
Imagine having invisible supervision all the time. Imagine a pair of eyes watching you, wondering if you saw them, wondering if they should go up to you and… watch you closer.
Don't want to imagine? Popspoken offers you an alternative: Join us at the horribly visible carnival of spectres over at Sentosa Spooktacular 2013 happening this and next weekend! Offering five terrifying trails based on Thailand's silver screen horror gems (starring Chaba and the cast of Pee Mak), we might agree that some things are better left unseen. All the rules from childhood will suddenly seem useless when everything turns into a gory game, and your only fate is — as they proudly say it there — DEATH.
If you're going to keep imagining, then let us know your dark stories/advices in the comments. Who knows, we might just send over a string of garlic.
Sentosa Spooktacular 2013
Dates: 19, 20, 25, 26, 31 Oct & 1, 2 Nov

The Dog Ate My Homework
As a book coach I hear it all the time: the all-too-common, weak-kneed, the-dog-ate-my-homework type of excuse as to why my client did not keep their promise to themselves. The promise was to write; the agreement to sit down to rewriting, or the embrace the tedious task of creating an outline for a new book. Instead,
Want to Write a Book, But You're Stuck?
Imagine being on your deathbed. You look over all the things you've done in your life and all the people you have loved. What would you regret? Is there something you always wanted to do, but somehow you never quite got it done

text: Introducing and beginning with the Prototype Three, the journey begins. Even though this build started after the first two prototypes went into concept design and development, it was instrumental to the evolution of both and the ultimate aesthetic of the project as a whole. This prototype built on the established design language and build ethos of its Auto Fabrica predecessors; beautifully sculpted, organic and minimal, hand made from aluminium and built on the structure and mechanicals of a classic motorcycle. In keeping with timeless automotive and motorcycle design, the form flows effortlessly and works harmoniously with the functional requirements of the machine. Every detail was understood and considered, boundaries in manufacturing techniques, materials and finishes were pushed; from the engineered and 3D printed velocity stacks through to the signature hand bent exhausts.

2. User/Tenant information about actual use and needs.
3. Value creation for the owners.
4. That BIM thing.
5. He who owns the real data owns the market.
6. The data can and will become it's own market.
7. Aggregators of data …Good Bye!
8. The data markets itself…..Good Bye marketing platforms.
9. Brokers of space or data……..I'm picking DATA!
10. Your Future Your Thoughts!

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
We haven't written anything about ZeusHash for quite a while, since their partnership with Halley China, a large scale mining operator among the top in China. Well, today they have made an interesting announcement that made us take another look at their new offering as it sounds quite interesting and promising. It is a new cloud mining contract for a limited period that has no maintenance fees and at the end of the contract's period you get your investment returned to you plus you keep what has been mined. The new cloud mining contract is called VGHS as Batch I VGHS hashrate is being sold for a period of 30 days at a price of $2.999 USD per VGHS. The price per GHS is a bit high for a 30 day period, even with maintenance fees included, but considering that after a month you will get back what you have paid for the hashrate plus what you have mined for that period of time it may not be a bad deal at all.
So what is the catch here? Well, the new VGHS cloud mining contracts from ZeusHash do seem more like an investment plan or a loan that users can give to the company and get the mined coins as an interest (currently it means you get about 3% interest for one month). This way the company has 30 days to operate with the money invested by the users before returning them back. It seems that lately this kind of offers are more beneficial for both users and mining operations as they offer more security and less risk than traditional cloud mining deals. So will this bring ZeusHash back in the game or not, it depends on how they manage to work things out with their new offer, but it does seem like an interesting alternative to other offers already. For the ones that are more interested in the traditional plans for Bitcoin cloud mining, there is a one week promotion starting today with a 10% PRICE CUT for Halley GHS that are still being offered.
