Regions of the Asian continent differ widely in their biophysical characteristics
hence in their physical vulnerability to climate change. Different regions also
experience highly differentiated social vulnerability. Adaptation strategies
therefore will be differentiated across regions and sectors, depending on their
vulnerability profiles. In the following subsections, vulnerabilities and related
adaptation strategies are discussed for four broad regions of Asia and for selected
At present, only areas of sporadic permafrost are used for agriculture. Global
warming should play a positive role for agriculture in boreal Asia. The growing
season is likely to expand by 1-1.5 months by 2100. The increase in mean
monthly air temperatures during the summer will increase active soil temperatures.
In addition, winter air temperatures will substantially increase (Sirotenko
et al., 1997). Shifts in the limit of the permafrost zone to the north, formation
of vast areas of perennial ground thawing, and better soil climate will contribute
to a northward shift of agriculture boundary. The key step for an agriculture
adaptation strategy could be the choice of suitable crops and cultivars. Shifts
in sowing date of spring crops will allow more effective use of the soil moisture
content formed by snow melting. The dates of spring crop sowing could be moved
forward in a crop rotation calendar in southern regions, and farmers could plant
a second crop that could even be vegetable with a short growth period (Laverov,
1998). Optimum use of fertilizers and ecologically clean agrotechnologies would
be beneficial for agriculture.
Climate change has the potential to exacerbate water resource stresses in some
areas but ameliorate them in most parts of boreal Asia. The increase in surface
temperatures will have considerable effect on the timing of snowmelt hence the
timing of the flow regime (Arnell, 1999). Diversions of water systems would
adversely impact fisheries and fishery habitat in the region (Rozengurt, 1991).
A decrease in water flow during the dry summer season is likely in some parts
of boreal Asia. Extraction of groundwaters from deep aquifers has been proposed
as an option, keeping in view the likely surface water quality deterioration
during dry periods (Laverov, 1998). It would be necessary to increase the capacity
of recycled water supply systems and autonomous water-use systems. However,
even with water-saving measures it may be necessary to cut water intake for
industry needs during dry periods to meet increasing demand in the future. Bottom-deepening
along navigation channels may be required to facilitate the transport of goods
and material through rivers.

G2099, Reviewed October 1993
During periods of high temperatures and humidity, livestock losses can occur from hot weather stress.
Hot weather stress is particularly hazardous to closely confined livestock (those in feedlots, sorting and holding pens, trucks and rail cars). High relative humidity when the temperature is at 80 degrees or more adds to the likelihood of profit-stealing losses if necessary precautions are not taken.
Missouri livestock producers can make their livestock handling and marketing plans flexible enough to take necessary precautions to reduce or eliminate livestock hot weather stress by following the Livestock Weather Hazard Guide.
Table 1
Livestock weather hazard guide
Alert livestock men will adjust ventilation and bedding to the prevailing temperatures. If livestock must be transported, vehicles should be bedded with sand, sawdust, shavings or a combination of these in the summer. Avoid the use of straw, particularly oats straw, in vehicles with solid sides or tight boxes during hot weather. Use "wet" bedding in "shirt sleeve" weather. Sprinkling animals in confined areas may be advisable when the temperature is above 80 degrees outside.
Obtain the current or expected temperature and relative humidity by listening to a weather forecast or read your own thermometer and hygrometer. Bear in mind what the temperature and humidity is likely to be by the time the animals reach their destination.
Locate the temperature (actual or forecast) in the column at the left of Table 1.
Follow the line to the right until you come to the "relative humidity" that is equal to or less than that reported or forecast. This number tells you what weather stress category (Alert, Danger or Emergency) you are in and how safe your confined livestock may be. This stress is closely related to the "discomfort index" for humans as developed by the Weather Bureau, originally termed the "temperature-humidity" index (THI).
A forecast of temperature and humidity conditions in this range at time of handling, loading or before animals reach their destination calls for an "alert."
Additional precautions may be needed to avoid excessive losses or to prepare for higher THI.
Temperature and humidity readings in this range are not only dangerous to confined livestock, but there is a need to adopt additional measures to avoid severe losses.
A severe situation has developed. Consider changing livestock handling and shipping plans. If plans cannot be changed, these four suggestions at a minimum should be followed:
If water is to be used to cool the animals, avoid "shock" from cold water in too huge quantities. A continuous sprinkling or coarse mist will lower the temperature to a safe level with a minimum of danger to the animals. Loading rested hogs onto wet bedding will minimize the heat stress problem during transit.
The best solution is to plan your livestock handling and shipping activities for the periods when the THI reading is below 75. Moving livestock when the THI is above 75 should be considered risky at best.
Cattle consuming tall fescue forage that is infected with the endophyte fungus are particularly susceptible to heat stress during handling. Because humidity relationships for endophyte-stressed cattle are not yet known, a safe rule of thumb is to increase the temperature within Table 1 by 5 to 8 degrees to determine what weather stress category you are in. Handling such cattle during high temperature and humidity periods should be avoided if at all possible. If it is necessary to confine or transport them, it should be done during the night when temperatures are cooler. Even then caution should be used so cattle do not overheat.

Gallagher's Western Conference picks: Let's go with Hawks, Wings, Canucks and Kings
No. 1 Chicago Blackhawks (36-7-5-77 pts) vs. No. 8 Minnesota Wild (26-19-3-55 pts)
Season series: Blackhawks 2-0-1.
Hawks' keys to victory: As well as having a much better offence, the Hawks also boast a huge coaching advantage with coach Joel Quenneville going up against NHL playoff rookie Mike Yeo. Hard to imagine an upset here if the Hawks get reasonable goaltending and they don't think of Minny as a team that will be just happy to make the post season. Patrick Kane must also continue his great season into the playoffs as the Hawks appear mentally ready to take another serious run at the big prize.
Wild's keys to victory: Clearly Niklas Backstrom will have to overcome a less than spectacular year and ignore his 35 years of age and go out and earn himself that new contract he's been playing for this season. The Wild must also play it pretty tight and try to stay out of the penalty box even though the Hawks' power play has been one of their lesser strengths this season. They also need to steal a game or two at the United Center and play like they have nothing to lose — because that's reality.
The call: Hard to imagine the Hawks losing four games to this lot, something the Wild would have trouble achieving if they played each other 20 times. There won't be many short series in the first round, but Chicago takes this one in five games.
No. 2 Anaheim Ducks (30-12-6-66 pts) vs. No. 7 Detroit Red Wings (24-16-8-56 pts)
Season series: Red Wings 2-1-0.
Ducks' keys to victory: Coach Bruce Boudreau needs to start the right goaltender and the word is he's leaning to the more experienced Jonas Hiller over Viktor Fasth. They both had 15 wins but Fasth had the better goals against average (2.18 to 2.36) and save percentage (.921 to .913). So Boudreau would be playing a hunch. The Ducks must try to hammer the Wings about and try to win a game against them at home, since Detroit won twice against them — two nights apart at the Honda Center — in the regular season.
Red Wings' keys to victory: The Wings have actually played extremely well down the stretch to make the playoffs, and they need to get great goaltending from Jimmy Howard, given the Ducks' 105-72 shot advantage during the three-game season series. Henrik Zetterberg had 10 points the last four games to get them in but secondary scoring would help; and longtime playoff scoring star Johan Franzen could really help if he carries his late hot steak into the playoffs.
The call: Have to pick this one as something of an upset special, with Detroit taking advantage of the fact the Ducks have a lot of players who are new to the playoffs. When Boudreau was last in the playoffs with Washington, he showed a reluctance to change aspects of his team's approach when they weren't working, and that's fatal in this business, particularly when up against a coach as good as Mike Babcock. Wings in seven.
No. 3 Vancouver Canucks (26-15-7-59 pts) vs. No. 6 San Jose Sharks (25-16-7-57 pts)
Season series: Canucks 0-2-1; Sharks 3-0-0.
Canucks' keys to victory: Stellar goaltending is a must for this team, almost at all times, and their power play must succeed much more often than it did during the regular season. Ryan Kesler must stay healthy and be a contributor offensively and, of course, the Sedins need to lead the offence and maintain their outstanding five-on-five play, given they'll likely be matched up against whichever line Joe Thornton centres. Some offensive thrust from the back end, a longtime staple of this team, would also be welcome assistance.
Sharks' keys to victory: Goaltender Antti Niemi must maintain the great play he's given this team all season and, based on what happened two years ago, the Sharks have to improve on both their special teams vis-a-vis the Canucks. Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski didn't get a point in five games last season in the playoffs so you would expect both to be much better. Clearly, this team will have to reverse its regular season habit of getting nothing done on the road.
The call: This one could go either way but whoever wins should be in fair shape to proceed given that while it will be physical, no one team should get murdered, and the travel is minimal. Whichever goaltender ends up playing the best is likely to come out ahead but the Canucks have Kesler now, when they didn't during the regular season meetings. Vancouver in six.
No. 4 St. Louis Blues (29-17-2-60 pts) vs. Los Angeles Kings (27-16-5-59 pts)
Season series: Kings 3-0-0.
Blues' keys to victory: Obviously St. Louis has to reverse this tidal wave of negativity associated with the Kings, having lost eight straight games to them and nine of the last 10, including a 4-0 sweep job in the second round last season. The Blues must get great goaltending to stem the flow of goals against, given L.A. scored at least four in every game against them this season, although the addition of Jay Bouwmeester and Jordan Leopold to the back end should help. Dave Backes needs to do more than just hit everything in sight and coach Ken Hitchcock has to use this history as motivation for his team, which is playing well.
Kings' keys to victory: Obviously, L.A. needs to keep doing what it's been doing, which is to beat the Blues like a drum, but it's not easy to maintain that kind of dominance. Dustin Brown leads his team into the playoffs having had a two-game rest courtesy a convenient NHL suspension, and Mike Richards should be ready given he was sick Saturday when he left the game, not injured. "They have some big bodies and play a heavy game," Anze Kopitar told the L.A. Times. "We have some big bodies, too."
The call: This will be the most physical battle of the playoffs, with two huge teams whaling on each other. But it's the Kings who always seem to come out on top because of their edge in goal. The Blues have helped their back end but they can't score. No reason to think the trend will reverse itself, so it's the Kings in seven.

Cedric the Entertainer
Like the other "Original Kings of Comedy" (Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley, Bernie Mac), Cedric the Entertainer, left, has found success in different areas of entertainment: hosting TV shows, starring in sitcoms and films, and creating a fashion line. And he still reigns as a king on the stand-up stage. There have been comedians who have changed their stand-up style after an extensive career (stopped using curse words, recited an oral memoir instead of tell jokes). Ced is still telling it like it is. Why go: Ced is a good judge of comedic talent, and he's bringing a couple of his funny friends for this show. Reconsider: When you've been requested by the president and major award shows, it's kind of hard for Hollywood not to take some of the rawness out of a stand-up act. Details: 8 p.m. Saturday at Arie Crown Theater, McCormick Place, 2301 S. Lake Shore Drive; $49-$69; 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com

Most of us have heard the news about Mad Cow disease in the United States. In December 2003 the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced a case of the disease found in Washington state. Investigators confirmed that the affected animal was a six and a half year old cow born in Canada and was imported to the U.S., in 2001. The cow was non-ambulatory (it could not walk to slaughter) and was labeled a "downer cow." Because the cow was a "downer," its neural tissues, considered to be at high risk for the transmission of the BSE agent, were removed before slaughter. Brain tissue samples were taken by the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) as part of its surveillance for BSE. And on December 23 2003 an early diagnosis of BSE was made. To protect residents, the herd to which the cow belonged was placed under a state hold order. This is the only known case of BSE in the United States.
Consequently, many of you may wonder what is safe to serve for dinner, and, ultimately, whether the U.S. human food supply is properly protected? Rightfully so, you are probably cautious about purchasing some of your weekly groceries. And some of you may now question whether vegetarianism might be an alternative for you and your families. Still, others of you are confident that the U.S food supply is and always has been safe; sorting all of this information can be very confusing.
What exactly is Mad Cow disease?
Mad Cow disease is the common name for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). It is a neurological disease that affects the central nervous system of adult cattle, and, apparently, is caused by a mutant protein that attacks the brain and nerves. An infected animal's brain and spinal cord are the body parts most likely to contain these abnormal (misshapen/ misfolded) proteins that are believed to cause the disease. BSE has been a concern since 1986 when it was first reported among cattle in the United Kingdom.
Throughout the world there have been more than 180,000 cases of Mad Cow disease, since it was first diagnosed. It has been confirmed in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, The Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Switzerland. The majority of reported cases, however, have occurred in the United Kingdom.
The human equivalent of Mad Cow disease is called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. It is believed to be caused by the consumption of neural tissue, such as brain and spinal cord, from BSE affected cattle. It is not known how many people, world wide, have contracted Mad Cow disease, but in the United States only one case has been reported. It is believed that that person became infected while living in the United Kingdom, with symptoms of the disease surfacing years after her arrival. Even though the disease is very hard to diagnose, risk of contracting the disease appears to be very low.
The USDA has found that certain ground beef products contain central nervous system tissue. This meat comes from machines called advanced meat recovery (AMR) systems. These machines remove meat and strip soft tissue from bones. This meat is used in the production of hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza toppings and taco fillings. Advanced meat recovery systems can allow-pieces of spinal cord in the meat that these systems were designed to produce. These machines provide a pathway for BSE to get into human food.
What is the USDA doing as a result of these findings? The USDA's policy has been to be proactive and preventative. Surveillance, prevention, education and response measures are in place. On December 30, 2003 the USDA announced the following safeguards to minimize further risk and to ensure that U.S. beef remains the safest in the world:
Even though the USDA has been proactive on this issue what can you do as a consumer to protect yourself?
It's not clear how much action individuals need to take, but for those of you who want to eliminate or minimize any possible hazard, avoid beef entirely and/or avoid the foods that could most likely carry Mad Cow disease. These products can include beef brains, neck bones and other processed beef products that may contain central nervous system tissue from infected cattle. Bone-in beef cuts like t-bone or porterhouse steaks, may pose a slight risk. Boneless cuts of beef like steaks, roasts, and ground beef (ground from whole muscle cuts of beef) appear to be at lower risk and are less likely to be contaminated.
Statistically, the risk of contracting Mad Cow disease is very low. We all want a safe and wholesome food supply. So, keep yourself well informed. Beef for dinner or vegetable lasagna? Ultimately, the choice is yours.
Consumers with food safety questions can call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854). This hotline is available in English and Spanish and can be accessed between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern time), Monday through Friday.

Former DeKalb County State's Attorney John Farrell is accused of fabricating his wife's death certificate and lying about caring for an ill sister in Iowa while attorney ethics officers were investigating him, records show.
John Edward Farrell resigned as assistant state's attorney Oct. 12, 2012, for lying to county officials about appealing a legal matter he had actually settled without telling them, according to an ethics complaint filed by the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission.
Farrell, a Democrat, was appointed the DeKalb County's State's Attorney in June 2009 to replace the previous state's attorney, who became a judge. After Clay Campbell was elected state's attorney in November 2010, Campbell put Farrell in charge of his office's civil division.
The ethics complaint, which became public record this week after Farrell received a copy of it, alleged that he forged the death certificate, lied to ethics investigators, offered to settle litigation on behalf of the county without consulting county officials, and offered fake updates to county officials about an eminent domain case he never filed.
The phone number listed for Farrell's office in Park Ridge has been disconnected; other attempts the Daily Chronicle made to reach him for comment Friday were unsuccessful.
Farrell has until Dec. 24 to file a written answer to the allegations, said Peter Rotskoff, chief of litigation for the attorney ethics commission. Then he could have a hearing before a board of two attorneys and a nonattorney, which ultimately could determine whether the allegations are founded and suggest a punishment to the Illinois Supreme Court. Possible sanctions range from a reprimand to disbarment.
The ethics complaint details a series of illnesses, including possibly his own, Farrell allegedly lied about to try to get deadline extensions or to explain his mistakes.
Around Nov. 17, 2011, Farrell told then-State's Attorney Campbell that he couldn't go to court that day because his wife, Katherine Kamka Farrell, was dying and receiving last rites. On Jan. 31, 2012, he referenced his wife's death in telling DeKalb County Judge Kurt Klein that he had communication issues in a pending case involving the county.
Then, when the ethics commission was investigating Klein's allegations that Farrell lied to him about his wife's death, Farrell told ethics investigators that his wife moved to Arizona after it became clear she wasn't going to recover, the complaint states.
"For the next two months or so, I spent significant time away with Katherine," he wrote ethics investigators, according to the complaint. "Sadly, that ended without me being present when she passed. I lost my best friend and soulmate. Katherine was a very spiritual person who always told me to walk in awareness."
He gave ethics investigators a "certificate of cause of death" stating that she died Jan. 4, 2012, of cardiac arrest due to lung cancer, as a consequence of cervical cancer, the complaint states. The complaint alleges that document was fabricated.
After DeKalb County Presiding Judge Robbin Stuckert and Campbell told ethics investigators about Farrell lying to county officials about appealing a case, Farrell allegedly lied to ethics investigators again, the complaint states.
Farrell asked for more time to respond to Stuckert's and Campbell's claims, stating: "Beginning Dec. 17, 2012, and through Jan. 1, 2013, I have been caring for my very ill sister in Iowa. Upon my return to Chicago, I discovered your letter ... I therefore respectfully request 30 days to respond."
Farrell has one sister who hasn't seen him in about eight years, the complaint alleges.
Then, when ethics investigators asked him to appear at their Chicago office Sept. 11, he responded with a letter claiming he had emergency surgery in Iowa City while helping his daughter move back to college.
"I became seriously ill while there and was admitted to University Hospitals in Iowa City, where I underwent emergency stomach/colon surgery and was diagnosed with advanced stage cancer," Farrell wrote in the letter, according to the complaint. "I was released from the hospital on Sept. 5, but I am too weak to travel back to Chicago and must undergo follow-up exams and chemotherapy for the next 30 to 60 days."
He claimed his son and daughter were helping him get to his sister's house, where he would remain in their care, the complaint states. The address he provided for the sister was an outdated address for the sister he has not seen since 2005, the complaint states.
Current DeKalb County State's Attorney Richard Schmack, who was involved with the case in which Farrell allegedly lied to county officials about appealing, said Farrell was a pleasant and well-respected attorney. Schmack doesn't have an explanation for Farrell's behavior.
"Everybody I know liked [Farrell,]" Schmack said Friday. "He displayed a good knowledge of the law and a grasp of everything he was asked to do, which is probably why this came as such a surprise and a shock to everyone."
Campbell echoed that assessment of Farrell, describing him as an outstanding attorney with extensive litigation experience. Campbell worried that some exploited Farrell's situation for political gain last fall.
"When you look back and you look at some of his behavior, it was clear he was suffering some issues," said Campbell, who said he tried to offer help. "What exactly these issues were, [Farrell] is very private, so I'm not able to elaborate."
Before Schmack was elected in November 2012, Schmack called for a special prosecutor to investigate Farrell. After he took office, Schmack asked county officials to notify his office if they hadn't received any timely updates about matters Farrell had been working on for them.
That's how Schmack said he found out about the eminent domain case Farrell allegedly lied about filing. Schmack reported the case to ethics investigators and concluded a special prosecutor wasn't needed to investigate possible criminal conduct.
"In reflecting on it after the election and knowing that the [ethics commission] was examining all of these allegations," Schmack said, "it seemed it was better to let them do their work."

Programs receive $100,000 each from BCBSNC Foundation
Dr. Suzanne Lazorick
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Nov. 19, 2010) — Two grants will help a pair of local programs further their goals of healthy weight and access to care for eastern North Carolinians.
MATCH, a program involving the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, and Access East, which serves people without health insurance in 27 counties, each received $100,000 from the Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation. The grants were announced Tuesday, Nov. 16, at an event in Chapel Hill.
MATCH, which stands for Motivating Adolescents with Technology to Choose Health, is an approach to student wellness that combines physical activity, nutrition education and technology. The first two years of the MATCH program improved the weight status of more than two-thirds of all participating overweight students. It was started in 2006 by Tim Hardison, then a science teacher at Williamston Middle School and now director of the MATCH program at ECU.
He and Dr. Suzanne Lazorick, program evaluator of the MATCH program and assistant professor of pediatrics and public health at ECU, have expanded it beyond Williamston to seventh graders at schools in Ayden, Robersonville, Jacksonville, Hertford County, Washington County and Pamlico County. They are assessing body mass index measurements, eating choices and other factors.
Access East will use the grant money to increase access to primary and specialty care, case management, medication assistance and preventive health services for 400 low-income, uninsured Pitt County adults at the Bernstein Community Health Center.
Access East, together with Greene County Health Care, operates the Bernstein Center, a full-service, federally qualified health center that is a medical home for 3,500 low-income North Carolinians. Access East serves 130,000 people through its community care plan, the largest such network in the state.
Dr. Tom Irons, ECU associate vice chancellor for regional health services, chairs the Access East board, and Jim Baluss, administrator for regional health plans at University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina, serves as executive director.
Through the grant, Access East will reduce the need for emergency care by providing new access to primary and specialty care, case management, medication assistance and preventive health services for 400 low-income, uninsured Pitt County adults.
In celebration of its 10th anniversary, the BCBSNC Foundation is investing a total of $1 million in 10 nonprofit organizations across North Carolina. Each organization is a former BCBSNC Foundation grantee and received $100,000 to continue efforts that positively impact the health of their local residents.
"After 10 successful years, we reflect on the partnerships and relationships that are making strides in access to care, healthy eating, physical activity and enabling nonprofits to do their good work throughout North Carolina," said Kathy Higgins, president of the foundation.

There are few more stressful jobs than Emergency Room Technician, and one can imagine the focused intent required to unwind from a day when urgency is the rule rather than the exception. Northampton's Aaron Morse has found release through art and music, and combines the two media in the aptly titled exhibit/event Cross Pollinate.
In conjunction with the abstract art exhibit Explosion, which pairs his visual work with that of fellow artist Tom Morton, Morse augments paintings and video with a musical performance by his acoustic folk-rock/blues project, For the Birds. The band also features Springfield's Mike Forest on guitar and ukulele and Northampton's Annika Amstutz on vocals, fiddle and mandolin.

Sun tosses most US customers to the resellers
Only largest accounts will get a direct line
Sun Microsystems plans to rapidly move its entire US customer base, short of its largest accounts, to an indirect sales model.
In coming months, Sun's "Partner First" initiative will transfer all who aren't amongst its approximately 300 highest spending customers in the country to one of its reseller partners.
The plan was announced internally on July 11 and sniffed out this week by IDG News Service.
Surprisingly, Sun plans to complete the transition by as soon as the end of this quarter or early next quarter. That only gives about four months for Sun to divvy out its customers amongst a pool of about 600 US channel partners.
The move is an attempt to stir up revenue by strengthening its traditionally inconsistent channel outreach. Sun's partners have been under heavy fire by rival resellers of IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Dell gear — as well as losing sales to Sun itself.
Principal analyst at Gabriel Consulting Group, Dan Olds, suspects it's a gamble to cut costs and streamline the operation.
Although Sun said it will invest in partners and recruit new ones if needed, Olds believes the company has hard work ahead to work up a significant support architecture for the shift in strategy. It also lacks the reputation in its reseller business that competitors such as IBM, HP or Dell have, he said.
"To me, you do these kinds of hand-offs over time — maybe a year," said Olds. "Doing it so fast, it kind of makes me think the benefit is offloading the cost."
One major concern is how the move will effect customers. Because Sun will depend entirely on its partners to find and close sales, build systems, and provide much of the support and services, the change could be a blessing or a curse depending on the region.
There's also the task of divvying up its customer base among the competitive channel market.
Sun says it doesn't currently have plans to expand the initiative outside the US. But if the shift helps with Sun's pocketbook, it certainly wouldn't be surprising to see a tour of duty abroad.
The company is due to report its quarterly earnings report next Monday. Further details will likely be discussed at that time. ®

In general I don't like pressing three keys at once, even if ctrl+alt = altgr, it is easier to use something like ctrl+?In this case I would like to use CTRL + MAnd in your picture it is show "open serial monitor" can be set to true/false, but this is only the action (upload OR upload+monitor) for the arrow next to "verify". I am refering to the keyboard shortcut.
The shortcut CTRL+I prints a tabulator in Notepad, too.And I prefer using CTRL+some key instead of pressing three keys and what about letting the user change the setting in the configuration file?
I still prefer Ctrl+M Ctrl and Y is very near each other (german keyboard, QWERTZ) so I would need to use the right ctrl-key. It is ok, though

The prison industrial complex (PIC) is a "corporation" whose objective is to profit. In California alone they pay up to $20,000 more per solitary confinement unit than for a general population unit. This keeps officers working, which is why they become willing pawns who have an interest in oppressing prisoners.

Secure schools: But not that secure
July 28. 2013 4:44PM
Child abusers, drug peddlers and other common criminals would have a pretty hard time sneaking into public schools in the greater Manchester area. Over the years, schools have adopted security precautions designed to stop just these sorts of threats. Insane gunmen present another problem, one that has not been solved.
Describing the Bedford school system's security measures, adopted since 2007 after a security review was conducted, Superintendent Tim Mayes recently recounted how the district has taken important steps to improve student safety.
Among the improvements are classroom doors that lock from both sides, outside doors that lock automatically and require guests to be buzzed in, and security systems that allow only authorized personnel with electronic swipe cards to pass through the buildings.
Bedford also is in the process of installing security cameras on the high-school/intermediate school campus.
Similar systems can be found around the area. All of these measures are good for keeping out people who want to slip in without being detected. But what about the person who is willing to shoot his way in?
"If someone wants to get in and hurt someone, they will," Mayes said. "As we saw in Connecticut, a high-powered rifle can get through."
That attitude is pervasive in public schools. The thinking is that it is better to risk this extremely rare occurrence than to take on the expense and the risk of having armed personnel in the building.
Granted, the odds of a local public school being shot up by a mad gunman are extremely low. But they are not zero.
Is the distaste for guns so great that we will not even consider taking precautions that would prepare schools for the worst?

The client needed a safe and cost effective equipment solution to position rail personnel on continuous welded rail cars (Open rail cars that carry long, continuous lengths of rail). These cars carry the lengths of rail that are used during the laying of new continuous weld track.The customer asked Handling Specialty to engineer a very safe, ergonomic lift system that straddles the stacked rail, where workers bolt the lengths of rail after it has been laid on each level of the tie down rack. The lift is also used during the unloading of the rail off the railcars.

The seventh-generation of the Honda Accord remains one of the most popular cars in America. For 2006, the Accord receives fresh front and rear styling as well as a long list of enhancements and additional standard equipment. Accord Coupe and Sedan models provide more power, more comfort and convenience features, and a comprehensive list of standard safety features that help make the 2006 model the most exciting and well-equipped Accord in its 30-year history.
2006 Honda Accord Hybrid
The Honda Accord Hybrid debuted as a 2005 model and combined "high performance" and "hybrid" into the same sentence for the first time. The Accord Hybrid's IMA system is connected to a 3.0-liter V-6 engine that increases horsepower compared to the gasoline-only model and yields fuel economy comparable to that of a compact vehicle. The Accord Hybrid benefits from the updates to the entire family of Accords. New additions to the Accord Hybrid include:

Ingredients (2 servings):
1 cup short grain rice (Japanese rice)
1 cup of water
1 cup finely chopped lotus root plus some chunks
1 tbsp cooking oil or butter
200g beef, cubed (I used pork)
Ground black pepper to taste

- Rinse rice a few times until water running clear. In rice cooker's pot, soak rice in one cup of water for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in non-stick pan. Add in beef and sprinkle back pepper evenly, stir to sear the beef or until it is browned lightly. Drain the oil.
- Transfer seared beef into rice cooker (with rice in it), add in lotus root and salt to taste. Lid on, and cook the rice as if cooking steamed rice.
- Once it is cooked, add in peas or other greens. Stir the rice briefly. Lid on, turn the power off and let the rice stay in the rice cooker for 10 minutes or so before serving.
- Scoop rice into individual serving bowls or one big bowl for sharing, sprinkle toasted sesame over the surface.

Editorial: Walker's death a clarion call for safety
A summer stroll in a suburban park alongside a picturesque lake is not supposed to end the way it did for 74-year-old Barbara Pagano of Arlington Heights.
But her life ended July 3 from injuries she suffered after getting hit by a bicyclist on a path around Lake Arlington on June 18.
A tragic accident to be sure. As police explained in a story Wednesday, an 11-year-old rider didn't see Pagano soon enough to avoid her after another rider in front went around her. They collided and she fell and hit her head.
But the death of the wife, mother and grandmother has reignited an outcry about pedestrian safety on the path that the Arlington Heights Park District must take seriously. To the credit of park district officials, they say they will look at making it a safer place, but so far they don't have much more detail to offer.
This is an issue that all of us who use that path, or really any path throughout the suburbs, need to be concerned about -- whether we walk, bike or inline skate. There are safety rules to follow, and those need to be taught and adhered to by all. Specifically, in this case, we believe that the park district should hold a hearing to glean ideas from those who use the path the most. A quick scan of the comments on our two stories this week will tell you that most believe the Lake Arlington path is too narrow for bikers and pedestrians to coexist. Either have special biking times when walkers are not allowed or ban bikers from that path altogether. That's done on other paths in the suburbs, such as Naperville's Riverwalk.
"Bikers deserve to bike and (roller) bladers deserve to blade, but on that path they can't be in the same place," said Pagano's neighbor and friend, Pam Greenberg.
Until some changes are made, however, common sense should rule. And this is true whether on Lake Arlington's path, the paved trails in Busse Woods or the crushed gravel of the Illinois Prairie Path in DuPage County. Bikers need to alert pedestrians by loudly announcing they are passing on the left. Walkers and runners need to stay to the right and not expand out to three or four abreast, giving bikers no space to pass.
And all should refrain from using earbuds, which block out the sounds that need to be heard for safe use of those paths.
On the Lake Arlington path, bikers need to adhere to the 8-miles-per-hour posted speed limit, and if they don't, the police should step in. Park district residents need to consider whether the safety of those using the path is enough to warrant paying more taxes to build a separate path for bikers and skaters. Such a path was included as part of two larger projects that voters rejected last year. Perhaps the park board needs to look at it separately.
Open space and park land, and the paths that crisscross through them, are one of the reasons we live in the suburbs. It's incumbent on all of us to use them wisely and safely.

We have a lot to thank the Americans for over here on the our little Island. You could say we owe them. They have taken our drunken St Patricks day ritual to heart, they send tourists over here in droves, and without them there would be nothing on the telly. Best of all they have given us the pumpkin, God bless America.
1 pumpkin, about 20cm diameter
25g butter
1 onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 litre hot chicken stock
3 tablespoons cream
about 100g emmenthal or other melting cheese
some chives to garnish
Heat the oven to 190ºC (170ºC fan oven) gas mark 5. Slice off the top of the pumpkin to make a lid and set aside. Scrape out the fibrous strands and seeds. Put the pumpkin in a lightly oiled, deep roasting dish.
Cut away the flesh inside, leaving walls thick enough to hold soup. (an ice-cream scoop works well for this task) Chop the flesh.
Heat the butter in a pan and gently fry the onion for 10 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the nutmeg, sage and reserved pumpkin flesh.
Put the mixture in the shell and pour in the stock. Season and cover with the lid. Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour till the pumpkin is tender but still holds its shape. Stir in the cream; garnish with chives and extra cheese.
Carefully remove from the oven and bring the pumpkin to the table. Ladle the soup into bowls to serve.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The 23rd-ranked Florida State women's basketball team will head into the conference schedule on a roll after blowing out UNCG, 93-63, on Saturday afternoon at the Greensboro Coliseum.
The Seminoles tallied their highest number of steals (25) since 1996 and forced the Spartans into 34 total turnovers en route to moving to 10-1 for the sixth time in school history.
Florida State, which opens ACC play against Boston College in Tallahassee at 2 p.m. on Dec. 30, won its third consecutive game by 30 points at the home court of the conference tournament which will be played in March.
"This game served the purpose we wanted it to," head coach Sue Semrau said. "We wanted to get a feel for the arena. We came out and played great in the first half. (Chasity) Clayton was great on the offensive end and we did a great job in the first half forcing turnovers. It's great to end the non-conference schedule on a high note."
Senior forward Chasity Clayton led five Noles in double figures with a career-best-tying 21 points. Senior Alexa Deluzio scored 12 points, while classmate Leonor Rodriguez tallied 11 points, six assists and a career-best six steals.
Senior Chelsea Davis scored 10 points and junior Natasha Howard had 11 points and five steals.
Senior point guard Morgan Toles dished seven assists and made five steals, while fellow floor general Yashira "Cheetah" Delgado had five assists and three steals. The pair constantly pushed the pace, as FSU held a 26-6 advantage in fastbreak points.
Sophomore Lauren Coleman scored a career-best eight points in 19 minutes off the bench.
The Spartans actually led 9-7 after Sidnei Harmon made a layup at the 15:35 mark in the first half.
Florida State wouldn't let UNCG score for another eight minutes, nine seconds, however. As they've done to opponents for most of the season, the Seminoles ran away from the Spartans by using pressure defense to force turnovers that led to easy baskets.
FSU scored 23 consecutive points in an eight-minute span to take a 30-9 lead.
Delgado fed Deluzio for a trey from the wing that made the score 18-9 at the 11:50 mark. The lead swelled to 25-9 just over 10 minutes into the game after Clayton drilled a three and hit a turnaround jumper.
Delgado made the score 28-9 when she stole the ball from UNCG guard Jessica Collins just past half court, made a crossover dribble and faked a pass before nailing her signature teardop runner in the lane.
Coleman capped the game-breaking run with a jumper off a pass from Delgado with 7:43 remaining in the first half.
Florida State went up 53-20 just over a minute before the break after Rodriguez saved a ball out of bounce under the UNCG hoop right to Deluzio who drilled a three.
FSU forced the Spartans into 25 turnovers in the first half, which is one more than the highest total the Noles forced an opponent into in any full game last season.
The Seminoles continued their dominance in the second half, raising their lead to as many as 43 points on a layup by sophomore forward Kristi Mokube with 10 minutes left in the game.
The Spartans were led by Lucy Mason's 21 points and five three-pointers.

Use the Find command (Cmd-F) and follow the instructions on "TextWrangler Setting.png" below. It will substitute spaces for all the carriage returns in your document. Make these changes, save your document, and then convert it in Accordance. It will work perfectly.

Just as I was debating whether to take advantage of Amazon's $100 savings offer on the Kindle (with a new credit card), I saw this report about Kindles being marketed to college students, which seems like a great idea. I know I'd loved one in college, just to have all my texts with me and not have to carry a 50lb back pack around. Course it would probably be worth splurging on a $100 case with a hard shell to protect it as well.
In the article, they mention that new Kindles might be due in October. That would make some sense as to why the $100 off offer for now, trying to reduce inventory. If they could get college students to buy some, they'd be in a good spot to bring out a new version.
Since it's a marginal purchase for me, still not sure if it makes sense, I'm going to hold off and see if a new version appears this fall. I love the idea of the Kindle, and about half the time I think I would appreciate it. With 4 or 5 books in progress now, it's easy to lose track of them. I found one in my car yesterday that I'm 100 pages into and had forgotten where it was.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
DescriptionRiver Otters can be thought of - and in a very real sense are - semi-aquatic weasels. Like fishers, martens, and mink, they have long, slender bodies, short limbs, and a short face, plus a set of adaptations for their aquatic lifestyle: an oily, waterproof coat, webbed toes, and small external ears. River Otters are good swimmers and divers, able to stay underwater for up to eight minutes. They feed on crayfish, crabs, fish, birds, small mammals, and some aquatic plants. They once lived in streams, rivers, lakes, swamps, and coastal areas throughout Canada and the United States. Now they are gone from the central and eastern United States, and extinct or rare in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia. Scientific studies have shown them to be sensitive to pollution. Still these animals are commercially harvested: 20,000 - 30,000 are taken annually for their lustrous fur.

Working in company with Galloping Giraffe, Forty Tales was clocked in 49.10 seconds shortly after the first renovation break at 8 a.m. Capo Bastone and Verrazano went together after the second break, with Capo Bastone caught in 48.87 and Verrazano, under jockey Javier Castellano, timed in 48.86.
"I thought Forty Tales was good this morning," said Pletcher of the Tale of the Cat colt, runner-up to fellow Cigar Mile hopeful Clearly Now in the Grade 3 Bold Ruler Handicap. "He's normally not a horse that works real fast, but he seemed enthusiastic out there this morning, and happy.
"I thought Verrazano and Capo Bastone put in their typical 48 and change half," he added. "Both seemed relaxed, happy, and are doing well."
• Working in company with Grade 1 winner Alpha, Grade 2 Nashua winner Cairo Prince completed preparations for Saturday's Grade 2, $400,000 Remsen this morning, breezing five furlongs in 1:01.08 on the training track at Belmont.
"Cairo Prince might have won the photo by a head," said trainer Kiaran McLaughlin of the Pioneer of the Nile colt, who broke his maiden on October 6 in his only other start. "He looked great doing it."
Also next Saturday, McLaughlin will saddle Godolphin Stable's Wedding Toast in the Grade 3, $400,000 Comely for 3-year-old fillies.
"She continues to train well," he said. "The Comely is a tough race, but for $400,000 it's supposed to be a tough race."
• With six graded stakes over Thanskgiving weekend, the Big A will have special post times on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
On Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, which features the Grade 3, $300,000 Fall Highweight Handicap, post time for the first race is 11:25 a.m.
On Friday, first race post time will be noon, with the Grade 2, $300,000 Go For Wand Handicap as the featured race.
First race post time on Saturday, Cigar Mile Day, also will be noon. Supporting the Grade 1 Cigar Mile will be the Grade 3, $400,000 Comely, the Grade 2, $400,000 Remsen and the Grade 2, $400,000 Demoiselle.
• Goldencents, winner of the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, today was assigned 120 pounds, high weight among the nine expected starters for Saturday's Grade 1 $500,000 Cigar Mile Handicap at Aqueduct Racetrack.
Trained by Doug O'Neill, who also plans to saddle Grade 1 Vosburgh Invitational winner Private Zone (118 pounds) in the Cigar Mile, Goldencents arrived at the Big A on Thursday seeking to add to his resume in the silver anniversary edition of the race.
By virtue of his Breeders' Cup victory, Goldencents will be competing for an enhanced purse of $1 million in the Cigar Mile, as will Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint heroine Groupie Doll, who was assigned 118 pounds.

And The GRAMMY Went To ... Arcade Fire
(In the coming weeks GRAMMY.com will feature information and video highlights on winners from the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards, held Feb. 13 in Los Angeles. Each installment will offer the winning or related video and some pertinent, and not so pertinent, information about the track and the artists.)
Album: The Suburbs (iTunes>)
Artist: Arcade Fire
Won for: Album Of The Year
Previous wins: None
Did you know?: Canadian band Arcade Fire made their first GRAMMY win a memorable one, taking Album Of The Year against such competition as Eminem, Lady Antebellum, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry. The group formed when founding members Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, now married, met when the latter was singing jazz standards at a Montreal art exhibit. Since then, the group has added numerous members, including Butler's brother William. The two Butlers are the grandsons of guitarist and big band leader Alvino Rey. The Suburbs is the band's third album, and it hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The group performed with David Bowie at a Fashion Rocks event in New York on Sept. 8, 2005. The performance was later released on a live EP. A live YouTube webcast of one of the band's Madison Square Garden shows in August 2010 was directed by former Monty Python member, filmmaker and self-proclaimed Arcade Fire "groupie," Terry Gilliam. Proceeds from the licensing of their song "Wake Up" for Super Bowl XLIV were donated to Haitian earthquake relief efforts. The group garnered three previous GRAMMY nominations, including Best Alternative Music Album for Funeral and Neon Bible in 2005 and 2007, respectively. Arcade Fire performed "Ready To Start" in an impromptu encore at the end of this year's 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards telecast. The track also appears on the 2011 GRAMMY Nominees album.

A truly unique way to experience Tokyo, the Arakawa Line is the only remaining Tokyo Toden streetcar line. This streetcar line spans from the shitamachi of Minowabashi, through both residential and commercial areas and finally to the Toden Waseda Station.
A ride along all 12.2 kilometers of tracks takes 53 minutes and at 400 yen for an all day pass, a romantic afternoon streetcar journey costs less than a bowl of ramen.
