Historically, African Americans in Albany and elsewhere in this country have encountered serious racial discrimination in the fire service profession. They have been largely excluded as professional firefighters and those few fortunate enough to be hired have found it difficult to move up in rank often due to selection methods that have been found to inherently favor whites, such as certain written exams.. Little national attention was paid to this discrimination issue until the collapse of the Twin Tower Center in 2001.
Following this tragic event, it was discovered that most of the 343 New York City firefighters who lost their lives on that fateful day were white. Blacks were not represented in the City's fire department in significant numbers. While many of us were appalled by the disparity, we did nothing to examine hiring policies and practices in Capital Region fire departments and little is known about the racial make-up of local departments.
My interest in fire service discrimination, particularly in our area, has been rekindled (no pun intended) by the so-called "reverse discrimination" case, Ricci v. DeStefano et. al., No. 07-1428; 08328, that is pending before the Supreme Court. The case was brought by 19 white firefighters and 1 Hispanic. The plaintiffs charged New Haven, Connecticut with "reverse discrimination," because the city chose to throw out the results of a promotional exam when it learned that no Blacks scored high enough to be eligible for appointment to the open positions. As a result, no one was hired.
That choice was made, because the city was mindful of provisions in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibit racial discrimination in employment on one hand, but allows victims of discrimination to sue an employer if a promotional exam exerts a disparate impact on "minority" workers, which was the case in New Haven. Therefore, the city probably feared a racial impact lawsuit by Black firefighters.
Later this year, the Supreme Court will decide whether the plaintiffs in Ricci were unlawfully discriminated against by the city's action and determine the extent to which race can be considered in efforts to bring diversity to the workplace. Depending upon the ruling, the Court's decision could have a deleterious impact on affirmative action efforts to promote diversity in the future. Hopefully, this case will spur new citizen interest in local fire departments and the extent to which "minority" group members are represented and how to effectively address any injustices found.
The title of this post comes from "Keeping the Fires Burning for Justice", the tag line for the International Association of Black Professional Firefighters, which filed an amicus brief in this case.

Thread: Mix: Whole-grain Pancake Mix
12-11-2002, 06:01 PM #1Budget101.comGuest
Mix: Whole-grain Pancake Mix
Whole-grain Pancake Mix
Adapted from a recipe in the San Jose Mercury News. Over the weekend I
prepared the mix, divided it into three bags, and prepared gift
baskets that included herbal tea and maple syrup from Trader Joe's.
Whole-grain Pancake Mix
6 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup cornmeal (I used stone ground cornmeal)
1 1/4 cups rolled oats (quick or regular will also work)
4 Tbsp. baking powder
4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 2/3 cups nonfat milk powder
Mix all ingredients well. You'll have about 12 cups, enough for 6 batches
of pancakes.
To use: Mix 1/2 cup liquid egg substitute, 1 cup water, and 1/4 cup
applesauce in a large bowl. Stir pancake mix in bag before measuring 2 cups
and adding it to the bowl. Stir until just blended; a few lumps are okay.
Let batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking on a greased griddle or
frying pan. You may need to add more water---start with a tablespoon or
so---if the batter is too thick to drop from a spoon. Serves 3-4.

I just bought the car and has code for Knock sensor bank 2. I know where sensor is but there is only an eight inch light blue wire hooked to it with nothing at other end wire. I have checked engine harness in and out trying to find identical colored wire with no luck. Does it change to another color, or hook in with another color. Or is it needed at all, maybe it is a computer program issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bruins host Red Wings in battle of new division rivalsby Mike Battaglino / NHL.com
RED WINGS (2-0-0) at BRUINS (1-0-0)
Season series: The Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins did not play each other last season. Detroit has won four in a row dating to 2009-10, with the most recent a 3-2 shootout victory on Nov. 25, 2011.
Big story: These Original Six teams are now division rivals in the new Atlantic. Detroit won the Central eight straight seasons from 2001-09; it hasn't gone three consecutive seasons without a division title since 1985-87. Boston won the Northeast two seasons in a row, and three out of four, before finishing second behind the Montreal Canadiens by one point last season.
Team Scope:
Red Wings: Detroit will play its third game in four nights after a 3-2 overtime win at the Carolina Hurricanes, which they trailed 2-1 with 17 seconds left. Henrik Zetterberg tied it before Stephen Weiss scored his first with the Red Wings in OT.
"This gives us a big boost of energy going into Boston tomorrow night against a good hockey club," Weiss told Fox Sports Detroit. "We're going to have to be ready for them."
Detroit was 7-2-2 in the second of back-to-backs last season playing only in the Western Conference.
"Just get started on time," coach Mike Babcock said. "Any time you're playing back to back that first 10 minutes is always tough."
Babcock, coach of the Canadian Olympic team for which Bruins coach Claude Julien is an assistant, knows what's waiting for the Red Wings.
"They'll be excited, they're a good team," Babcock said. "They don't give you much space there, and they're well-coached, good depth. So it'll be a lot of fun for us."
Bruins: Julien realizes the test Detroit presents as a division rival.
"I think they're an elite team, they always have been," he told the team's website. "... They're an experienced team, they're a smart team, they play a good, smart game, and that will certainly bring an element of an even bigger challenge for all of the teams in our conference right now."
Boston has seven NHL-quality defensemen competing for six spots. Matt Bartkowski was the odd man out as a scratch in the season-opening 3-1 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday. He is expected to rotate with Dougie Hamilton and Torey Krug.
"We all help each other out, it's not like we're trying to stab each other in the back here," Bartkowski told Bruins Beat. "We like to see each other do well. So once you're in, play well, help the team out. And if you're not in, just be a good teammate."
Who's hot: Red Wings forward Johan Franzen had two assists Friday. Defenseman Niklas Kronwall has an assist in each game. … The Bruins' penalty kill had two shorthanded goals in Boston's season-opening 3-1 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning (Chris Kelly, Patrice Bergeron).
Injury report: Red Wings forwards Patrick Eaves (ankle), Darren Helm (groin) and Jordin Tootoo (shoulder) are out. ... Bruins forward Carl Soderberg (ankle) has been out since Sept. 27 but is on track to skate soon.

Everyday at Open2view, we get to shoot many different properties all over New Zealand & Australia. You can always find a property that has something a little unique and interesting about it.
However, it's not that often we get three historic post offices up for sale! For anyone who's ever wanted a place with a little bit of character, these properties may just be what you're after….
The Hunterville Post Office
10 Bruce Street, Hunterville, Rangitikei
View Photo Tour on Open2view.com
Currently operating as a Bed & Breakfast, this heritage listed building served as the Post Office for the Hunterville community for over 80 years and was associated with the development of the town and it's surrounding area until May 1989 when it was closed and sold to the present owner.
Constructed in 1902-03, the post office is a fine example of the Edwardian Baroque style that was favoured by the Government Architect John T. Campbell who designed the building. Some of Campbell's better known designs include Wellington's Public Trust Building (1905-1909) and the Auckland Chief Post Office (1911) and also our next building…
The Eltham Post Office
45 Bridge Street, Eltham
View Photo Tour on Open2view.com
One of the most iconic buildings in Taranaki, The Eltham Post Office is currently used as a commercial space and residence.
With a number of improvements and restorations underway or already completed, the opportunity is waiting for a new owner to put their stamp on it (pun intended).
Another design from Government Architect JT Campbell, the two storey brick building was built in July 1904 and opened for business on 12 September 1904.
The bricks used were supplied by H Graves of the Steam Brick Works in Patea, which funnily enough, takes us to our third Post Office….
The Old Post Office
40 Stafford Street , Patea
View Photo Tour on Open2view.com
In November 1867, the present township of Patea was surveyed, and a site was reserved for a Post Office. The building in which the Post Office and Telegraph Office were combined in 1870, was enlarged from time to time over the next ten years.
In 1879-80 the building in use up to 1923 was erected, the old one being shifted further down the section and converted into a Postmasters residence.
The present building was opened in October 1923. When first built, the Post Office building was described as 'handsome'. It still is.
Not built to face the main street, but instead it faces Stafford Street, the entrance is set at the corner of the two streets, originally designed with a view to assisting the staff and public, but also offers spectacular sea and rural views from the top floor.
Now in private ownership and used for residential purposes, the building offers such unique spaces and features, my favourite….the pillars!
Which is your favourite? Have you converted or renovated something similar? Let us know. Get in touch and show us some pics on our facebook pages:

Photos Suggest Water May Still Flow on Mars, Scientists Say
By ALICIA CHANG Associated Press writer
LOS ANGELES -- For decades, scientists have scoured Mars in search of water, a basic ingredient for primitive life.But the best clues were always tied to the ancient past when the Red Planet was warmer and wetter. On Wednesday, scientists made the startling announcement that water may still course through the frigid surface.
Crisp photographs taken by NASA's old Mars Global Surveyor before it lost contact with Earth last month do not actually show flowing water. But scientists said before and after pictures of two gullies showing feature changes provide the strongest signs yet that water flowed through them as recently as several years ago, and is perhaps doing so even now.
"This is a squirting gun for water on Mars," declared Kenneth Edgett, a scientist at San Diego-based Malin Space Science Systems, which operates a camera on the Global Surveyor, one of six spacecraft focused on Mars.
The discovery excited scientists who hunt for extraterrestrial life. If the finding is confirmed, they say, all the ingredients favorable for life on Mars are in place: liquid water and a stable heat source.
In all of its Mars exploration missions, NASA has pursued a "follow the water" strategy to determine if the planet once contained life or could support it now.
Spacecraft missions previously detected water in the forms of vapor and ice on the planet, and scientists believe ancient Mars was once awash with pools of water. But evidence of present-day bursts of liquid has been scant.
"This underscores the importance of searching for life on Mars, either present or past," said Bruce Jakosky, an astrobiologist at the University of Colorado at Boulder, who had no role in the study. "It's one more reason to think that life could be there."
Some researchers were skeptical that liquid water was responsible for the surface feature changes seen by the spacecraft. They said other materials such as sand or dust can flow like a liquid and produce similar results.
"Nothing in the images, no matter how cool they are, proves that the flows were wet, or that they were anything more exciting than avalanches of sand and dust," Allan Treiman, a geologist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston said in an e-mail.
The findings will appear in Friday's issue of the journal Science.
The Global Surveyor previously spotted tens of thousands of gullies that scientists believed were geologically young and carved by fast-moving water coursing down cliffs and steep crater walls. Scientists decided to retake photos of thousands of gullies in a search for evidence of recent water activity.
Two craters in the southern hemisphere that were originally photographed in 1999 and 2001 were examined again in 2004 and 2005, and the images yielded changes consistent with water flowing down the crater walls, according to the study.
Scientists said five to 10 pools of water rushed down the craters in each case. In both craters, scientists found bright, light- colored deposits several hundred yards long in gullies that weren't present in the original photos. They concluded that the deposits -- possibly mud, salt or frost -- were left there when water recently cascaded through.

WASHINGTON — In January, when President Bush announced his plans to reinforce American troops in Baghdad, Shiite militias were seen as the main worry.
Instead, during the early weeks of the operation, deadly bombings by Sunni Arab militants have emerged as a greater danger. In particular, the threat posed by the Sunni group al-Qaida in Mesopotamia was underscored when American troops seized a laptop computer from a senior operative in the group who was reported killed in late December.
Information from the captured materials indicates that the group's leadership sees "the sectarian war for Baghdad as the necessary main focus of its operations," according to an intelligence report that was described by American officials.
At the same time, the group has continued staging attacks in Anbar Province on American troops and on Sunni Arab tribal leaders who have defied it. Reflecting concern over the group's bomb attacks, especially car bombings, American military officials have begun to emphasize that bringing security to the Iraqi capital will involve not only the protection of Baghdad neighborhoods but also the use of raids to shut down bomb factories and uncover arms caches in the largely Sunni areas on the outskirts of the city.
"The Baghdad belts are increasingly seen as the key to security in Baghdad," Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, the American officer in charge of day-to-day operations in Iraq, said in an e-mail message. "I believe this is where you can stop the accelerants to Baghdad violence. We have already found a large number of significant caches in these areas related to car bombs and IEDs," or improvised explosive devices, commonly known as roadside bombs.
"The Shia have gone to ground for the most part, but there are still rogue elements of Shia extremists that are still a threat and conducting operations against the coalition, but more importantly against the government of Iraq," he added.
The threat has shifted on the eve of the fourth anniversary of the war in Iraq, in which American forces toppled Saddam Hussein only to face a growing insurgency and find themselves involved in an arduous effort to head off growing sectarian strife. In its efforts to stabilize Iraq, American commanders have had to contend with al-Qaida in Mesopotamia, other Sunni Arab insurgent groups, a variety of Shiite militias, criminals, and, they say, Iranian operatives. The greater Baghdad area seems to include all of them, making the mission there one of constant adjustment to adversaries who are themselves revising their tactics.
According to American intelligence analysts, al-Qaida in Mesopotamia's Baghdad strategy has gone through several changes. The overwhelming majority of the group's members are believed to be Iraqi. But some of its senior commanders are foreigners, including Abu Ayyub al-Masri, an Egyptian who became the leader of the organization last year after the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian terrorist who founded the organization.
The group has been active in Sunni-dominated Anbar Province in western Iraq. But it has also long operated in the Sunni areas on the outskirts of the capital. Saddam encouraged the settlement of Sunnis in these areas in the hope that it would protect his government, and some towns and rural communities there have emerged as havens for Sunni militants.
In the summer and fall of 2006, the group's leaders saw an opportunity to step up the fight in Baghdad against Shiite militias, American troops, and the nascent Iraqi security forces, according to captured documents. Some of the insight into the group's strategy was obtained from a captured laptop computer, which was acquired when a senior Iraqi adviser to Masri was killed by coalition troops in late December at a traffic checkpoint.
The adviser, who among other aliases used the nom de guerre Abu Hasan, had previously been detained by coalition forces in January 2005 but was inadvertently released because his role in al-Qaida in Mesopotamia was not well understood at the time.
As outlined in the captured documents and other material that was seized, the group's initial strategy was to push Shiites out of western Baghdad. As part of the sectarian battle for the capital, the strategy also called for attacking Shiites in nearby provinces, specifically southern Salahuddin, western Diyala, and eastern Anbar, attacks that the group's leaders also calculated would put American and Iraqi troops on the defensive. (The documents, American officials say, also reflected a continued interest in obtaining chemical weapons.)
But Shiite militias, particularly Mahdi Army operatives, responded with their own offensive, forcing the Sunni militants to retreat. A Pentagon report to Congress noted in November that the main Shiite militia group, the Mahdi Army, had replaced al-Qaida in Mesopotamia "as the most dangerous accelerant of potentially self-sustaining sectarian violence in Iraq." American forces, instead of withdrawing from the capital as the Sunni insurgents had hoped, prepared plans to reinforce their troops there.
According to captured memos portrayed in American intelligence reports and dated early December, the group was frustrated with the Shiite militias' success, was unhappy with weapons shortages, and was somewhat disorganized, according to an account by an American official who asked not to be identified because he was discussing intelligence materials.
As a result, the organization adjusted its tactics. It began to rely more on the Sunni enclaves on the outskirts of the capital. Senior leaders rotated through directed operations from these areas while lower-level fighters operated inside the capital.
Car-bomb components are also made in the surrounding Sunni areas and then smuggled into Baghdad where they are assembled. In a reflection of the group's tactical shift, car bombings have greatly increased this year, reaching an all-time high in Iraq in January and February, according to Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell IV, the top spokesman for the U.S. military. Of the 77 car bombings in Iraq in February, 44 were in Baghdad.
In addition to car bomb attacks, the group's basic tactics are to attack American and Shiite militia supply lines. When faced with American combat power, the Sunni militants tend to disperse, hoping to fight another day, American commanders say.
Col. J.B. Burton, the commander of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team for the 1st Infantry Division, told reporters on Friday that the Sunni militants were also taking advantage of the decision of some Shiite militias to become less active or leave Baghdad. Sunni militants "have seen an opportunity with Shia extremists out of the area to strike with much violence," Burton said.
American military officials said they had long understood that Baghdad could not be secured without also controlling the surrounding suburbs, but the car-bombing attacks have made this all the more important. Among other areas, Sunni enclaves are located in the belt from Yusufiya to Salman Pak south of the capital and in Diyala Province northeast of the city. An American battalion was recently sent to Diyala as a result of sectarian fighting and al-Qaida in Mesopotamia operations there.
Gen. David H. Petraeus, the senior American commander in Iraq, alluded to the problem in his news conference last week, noting that two car-bomb factories had recently been discovered in Salman Pak, to the southeast, and in Karma, northwest of Baghdad.
"They tend to be in the outskirts in these very rural areas, small villages and outlying houses and farms, and so forth," Petraeus said. "And we clearly have got to find as many of those as we can to destroy them and then, obviously, to interdict those that are still able to be built."
"Although the focus, the priority, clearly is Baghdad, anyone who knows about securing Baghdad knows that you must also secure the Baghdad belts, in other words, the areas that surround Baghdad," he said.

Northside Pittsburgh: Close-knit, Historic, and Poised for Big ImprovementsMatt Niemi (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)" >Matt Niemi (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)" src="http://cloudfront.sproutfund.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/8139467121_ddcc689094_o.jpg" data-fl-original-src="http://cloudfront.sproutfund.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/8139467121_ddcc689094_o.jpg" />
The Sprout Fund is partnering with the Buhl Foundation on the One Northside intiative to celebrate and revitalize all that Pittsburgh's Northside has to offer.
by Sherri Knight
Pittsburgh's Northside has long been a favorite destination for culture, entertainment, and sporting events, as well as home to residential communities rich with character and connectedness. To be in the Northside is to be in a part of Pittsburgh distinctly its own.
Home to the Children's Museum, the National Aviary, and The Mattress Factory, to name a few attractions, the area is green, filled with beautiful architecture, and home to around 45,000 loyal residents or "Northsiders". But the communities that make up the Northside aren't without their challenges, and there are opportunities for improvement.
Signaling a major commitment to the future of the Northside, The Buhl Foundation will dedicate approximately 80 percent of their funding over the next two decades to support initiatives on the Northside. In the spirit of Henry Buhl, who built his legacy on the Northside, the Buhl Foundation is partnering with Northside communities to implement One Northside, a 20 year plan to bring people back to the area, to educate young people in the Northside and help prepare them for the workforce, to improve the schools in the neighborhoods, and to support deeper revitalization in the most distressed neighborhoods.
In support of the One Northside initiative, The Sprout Fund is fueling community-led neighborhood improvement by offering Neighbor-to-Neighbor grants of $1,000 to support individuals and groups working hard to make their communities a better place to live, work, play, and raise a family.
Through their Neighbor-to-Neighbor program, The Sprout Fund has already supported 23 projects, with plans to support about 50 total projects in the coming months.
Among the first group of funded projects announced in March are efforts to beautify and celebrate different neighborhoods, like the Deutschtown City Steps Mosaic Mural, a proposed 120-foot long mural designed with images showing the history of the neighborhood, all of which will be assembled and worked on in different workshops this summer under the guidance of Linda Wallen. In addition to a number of gardening initiatives at different locations, Sean Brady's Northside Greenways Map will be a resource for exploring the Northside and its surrounding communities through biking and walking paths.
And there is no shortage of creative arts and expression on the Northside. The Pittsburgh Fringe Festival will make the Northside come alive with outsider theater performances this summer, and the El Sistema Music Program will offer musical instruction to Northside youth throughout the summer with a collaborative performance at summer's end on Observatory Hill.
As part of this constellation of projects, several efforts are underway to encourage Northsiders to rediscover their community with engaging public events like the Community Arts Night at Morrow Elementary School and a walking tour of East Allegheny-Deutschtown.
Sprout's Senior Program Officer Mac Howison worked closely with Neighbor-to-Neighbor applicants, many of whom were eager to build on the momentum of the Northside Conversation, a community-driven engagement process to create a shared agenda for the Northside.
Through Neighbor-to-Neighbor grants, The Sprout Fund has helped community members "move from talking about their communities, to launching new collaborative projects to put ideas into action," says Howison. "One of the key components to achieving the vision for One Northside is connecting these neighborhood projects to each other, so that everyone has a stake in the Northside's future."
The next deadline to apply for a Neighbor-to-Neighbor grant is Friday, May 8th. Learn more and apply online at sproutfund.org/northside.

Jobless total down - by 22,000
The unemployment rate has fallen slightly to 13.7%, official figures have revealed.
A report on the job market found the numbers out of work fell by 22,000 in the year to the end of June, with the jobless total now at 300,700.
There has also been an improvement in the number of people on the dole for a year or more, with the long-term unemployment rate down from 9.2% to 8.1% over the same period.
The Central Statistics Office (CSO) report warned that the long-term unemployed make up 58% of those out of work. That proportion has fallen by 3% since June 2012.
The report also noted that employment grew by 33,800 in the year to June, with more than 1.87 million people in work.
Joe Costello, junior minister for trade and development, said the figures are positive.
The CSO report showed four successive quarters of falls in unemployment on an annual basis. It had been growing steadily since 2005.
"Under the previous government, 250,000 people lost their jobs between 2008 and 2011. The latest figures show that almost 3,000 job are now being created each month. While it will take time to recover, things are moving in the right direction," he said.
Business lobby group Ibec claimed the figures show economic recovery is firmly under way.
It also repeated its warning for the Government to move away from 5 00 million euro in tax hikes in the upcoming budget.
Ibec senior economist Reetta Suonpera said: "All the labour market indicators are now pointing in the right direction. Employment has increased on an annual basis for three consecutive quarters, and unemployment has fallen below the 300,000 mark."
She added: "The most recent data on the economy paint a picture of strengthening recovery. However, the situation remains fragile and over the last year we have seen green shoots give way to renewed weakness.
"Confidence is the key for a sustained recovery. Budget 2014 is an opportunity for Government to instil confidence among consumers and businesses. Plans to increase tax by 500 million euro should be dropped."
Mark Fielding, of the Irish Small & Medium Enterprises Association, claimed social welfare benefits were to blame for keeping people out of the jobs market.
"The two areas which have the most effect on the figures are excessive business costs and the generous social welfare system. The former makes it too expensive to hire and the latter makes it uneconomic to work," he said.
"No amount of spinning by Taoiseach and ministers will alter the fact that the private sector, the engine of the economy, will not create jobs while their cost are too high."

Rep. Chris Gibson said he opposes air strikes against Syria, especially without an authorization vote in Congress, and says they will simply lead to an "Americanization" of the two-year-old civil war there and "make it worse."
Gibson, a Kinderhook Republican who was first elected in 2010 after a 24-year stint in the Army, said airstrikes "won't change the balance of power on the ground." Administration officials, speaking with a cloak of anonymity, have told NBC News that airstrikes could begin as soon as this week. Officials in the United Kingdom said they will offer a United Nations resolution authorizing military force to protect civilians in the Middle Eastern country, where scores of civilians died after what international officials have said was a chemical attack launched by the regime of Bashar Al Assad.
"I understand the impulse. I am saddened by what's going on, but we have a responsibility to take action that will make a difference, and will make a positive difference," Gibson told the Times Union. "Intervening militarily will not do that, and in fact, I believe it will make it worse. … I think there is considerable leverage that we have diplomatically and economically: Syria cannot long survive isolated."
"I urge the administration and my colleagues to think this through," he continued. "I'm speaking now from my military experience: if you engage in an attack, what effects will that have on the ground? How will those effects be perceived? What might be the actions of the parties on the ground now — the rebels and the regime? What might be the reaction be of other interested parties in the region? How would we respond to that? And how does all of this lead us to long-term goal we have? … How do we integrate all dimensions of power to achieve those objectives? This is what's not clear."
While many of his fellow Republicans including Arizona Sen. John McCain have long pushed for American military intervention in Syria, Gibson has said he sees involvement there as leading down a slippery slope. Additionally, Gibson has expressed concern over the possibility of using military force without congressional authorization: he has sponsored a bill to overhaul the War Powers Act, which sets out when congressional approval is required for military actions.

|Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of mesothelial cells is an early event during peritoneal dialysis and is associated with high peritoneal transport.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18379544 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Ultrafiltration (UF) failure is a consequence of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). Fibrosis, angiogenesis, and vasculopathy are causes of this functional disorder after 3-8 years on PD. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of mesothelial cell (MC) is a key process leading to peritoneal fibrosis with functional deterioration. Our purpose was to study the peritoneal anatomical changes during the first months on PD, and to correlate them with peritoneal functional parameters. We studied 35 stable PD patients for up to 2 years on PD, with a mean age of 45.3+/-14.5 years. Seventy-four percent of patients presented loss of the mesothelial layer, 46% fibrosis (>150 microm) and 17% in situ evidence of EMT (submesothelial cytokeratin staining), which increased over time. All patients with EMT showed myofibroblasts, while only 36% of patients without EMT had myofibroblasts. The number of peritoneal vessels did not vary when we compared different times on PD. Vasculopathy was present in 17% of the samples. Functional studies were used to define the peritoneal transport status. Patients in the highest quartile of mass transfer area coefficient of creatinine (Cr-MTAC) (>11.8 ml min(-1)) showed significantly higher EMT prevalence (P=0.016) but similar number of peritoneal vessels. In the multivariate analysis, the highest quartile of Cr-MTAC remained as an independent factor predicting the presence of EMT (odds ratio 12.4; confidence interval: 1.6-92; P=0.013) after adjusting for fibrosis (P=0.018). We concluded that, during the first 2 PD years, EMT of MCs is a frequent morphological change in the peritoneal membrane. High solute transport status is associated with its presence but not with increased number of peritoneal vessels.

Helen - posted on 08/13/2010 ( 52 moms have responded )
Hi, my name is Helen and I have 2 children. Tristan is 13 and has Asperger Syndrome and I have an almost 1 year old named Jada. Tristan was first diagnosed with ADHD in 1st grade. He had the same teacher for 2nd and 3rd grade and she came to my husband and myself with some behavior concerns and felt like it was more than ADHD. We took him to a child psychologist and she diagnosed PDD-NOS and referred us to TEACCH a program here in NC that serves adults and children for services and diagnosis of Autism Spectrum disorders. They diagnosed him with Asperger Syndrome, he was 9 years old by this time. We finally had some answers!!!!! We did Speech, Occupational Therapy, and Social Skills groups and that definitely helped. He is almost 14 and going into the 8th grade and doing great. I can't imagine my life without him!!!! This is a little video we put together of our journey.

First question, Does this statement stand same for mobile SVG? The reason, i think storing the upcoming sequence of characters dyanamically would cosume substantial processing time and code complexity?
Having said this, wouldn't it be just enough to perform/support just one-to-one matching of character(s) and glyph(s) simply ignoring the multiple character representation within the unicode attributes. Is there a possibility that we may miss the ligature "ffl" altogether or would we still be able to render the liagture using the individual glyph-unicode attributes "f", "f", and "l". Please keep in mind, this question regards to SVGT implementation.
Any reply, comments, or help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

City officials in Skagway are considering a plan to tap into the pocketbooks of migratory tourists to provide a year-round source of revenues for its government.
Its city council is expected to decide on Thursday whether to ask voters to replace the annual 4 percent sales tax with a 5 percent tax that would be in place for the six-month summer tourism season. During the off-season months between October and March the tax would be zero.
It's a proposal that has angered several residents in a town of about 880 that relies heavily on the tourism industry.
"Our community literally survives on this industry and what it brings us," said Steve Hites, who owns a tour company called Skagway Street Car Co. "I believe it targets a certain group of people - specifically the visitors in the summer - and as such it's not equitable."
Hites said he fears the tax could have a cumulative effect on cruise line passengers, who also pay sales taxes and other taxes in other towns along the route.
"The cruise ships have other world destinations they can go to," Hites said. "We are competing with Australia, New Zealand, Norway and Russian ports."
City Council Member Dan Henry is a chief proponent of the tax. The proposal would bring in an additional $700,000 during the tourist season and mean about $226,000 less in revenues during the off-season, Henry told KHNS-Radio in Skagway recently. The town currently takes in $3.3 million in sales tax revenues, a city spokeswoman said.
"The reality is very simply that our tourism industry has grown dramatically year after year. Our services are not on par with them," Henry said.
But Henry said the tax still would be lower than in other stops that cruise ships make along the Inside Passage and the coast.
Sitka and Juneau each have a 5 percent sales tax, and Juneau has a $5 head tax on cruise ship passengers.
Skagway Mayor John Mielke said the city is not in "dire straits" financially, but that the tourism industry has brought with it added expenses.
The city recently built a water tower to accommodate cruise ships that take on drinking water there, and during the summer months the city employs two additional police officers for its six-member force. The city has also added two 911 dispatchers, he said.

Jamie Burke is a 37-year-old journeyman backup; Jeff Clement a 25-year-old regarded so highly in 2005 that the Mariners made him the third pick in the first round of the amateur draft.
But when Kenji Johjima went on the disabled list Thursday, the Mariners brought back Burke from Tacoma and left Clement to continue working on his struggling offensive game.
"It's just the timing of everything," M's manager Don Wakamatsu said. "We talked about Jeff going down and getting some at-bats and getting his swing going and catching a little more. With Kenji, we're talking about a couple weeks, so Jamie is the perfect fit to come up at this point."
Unsaid was the fact Clement is batting .053 in the early going in Tacoma, just 1-for-19 with nary an extra-base hit or RBI in five games behind the plate.
With Clement not hitting, it was an easy decision to add Burke's veteran presence behind promising rookie Rob Johnson, who assumes Johjima's starting role.
"From Day One of spring training, I badly wanted to be part of this team," Burke said after flying from Fresno to join the Mariners. "You could just see it, the leadership we have from (Mike) Sweeney and just the fun we're having."
Burke well understands his position in a franchise with Johnson, Clement and Adam Moore all being groomed behind the plate.
"My last couple years, I've just tried to go out and be consistent in my once-every-five days. That's what my job is," he said. "I know these younger kids will blossom and be every-day players in the big leagues. Hopefully I'll still be around to back these kids up. Rob is special. He's a great player. And you've got Jeff and Adam. I haven't seen so many good young catchers in an organization, ever."
Yet when the Mariners needed help behind Johnson, it was Burke they dialed up.
"I've known Jamie from three different organizations," Wakamatsu said. "I trust his ability to call a game and his relationship with the pitching staff."
Johnson will get most of the starts, however. The youngster went 2-for-3 after Johjima left the game Thursday and previously caught 18 innings of shutout ball on starts by Jarrod Washburn and Felix Hernandez.
While the M's gave up three runs with Johnson in the game Wednesday, his catcher's ERA of 1.17 leads the major leagues among players with 20 or more innings.
"One of our biggest decisions coming out of spring was if this happened, would we be comfortable with Rob filling in. So far he's done a tremendous job," Wakamatsu said. "(In spring it was) just his toughness and ability to handle the pitching staff. He stood out right away. This was something he was not going to let pass by."

Absolute trust in Tony Hung? Natalie Tong: It is a minor issue
Yesterday, Natalie Tong (唐詩詠) attended an event and when asked about her boyfriend, Tony Hung (洪永城) was pointed to fall in love with his old love again, she replied it was groundless rumours and it was normal for them to keep in contact despite separated. Natalie expressed she will not control her boyfriend and asking if he had absolute trust in Tony, she hesitated and smiled before saying: "It is a very minor issue and please do not speculate."
During the interview, Natalie kept blinking her eyes suddenly and in order to prevent from the media mistaking she was crying, she laughed and said: "Please remember to say it is the cause of my eyelash and not crying."

If supercars and other high-priced exotics are your game you'll likely want to keep a close eye on the Geneva Motor Show next month with everyone from Bentley to Ferrari weighing in with new entries – and upstart McLaren intending to clamber to the top of the heap.
The maker has finally released production numbers for the P1, the track-ready supercar it previewed in Paris last year. And the word, "breathless" quickly comes to mind, the 2-seater promised to deliver 0 to 100 kmh (0 to 62.5 mph) times of "less than three seconds," with a rated top speed of 218 mph.
Supercars have a lot in common with baseball, where the game is as much as anything about statistics. And for the number crunchers here are some equally impressive figures. The McLaren P1 will dash from 0 to 200 kmh (0 to 125 mph) in under seven seconds, with the launch to 300 kmh rated at 17 seconds.

When my daughter was born, she was blessed to have so many family and friends that wanted to meet and hold her for the first time. Oftentimes, my house seemed to have a revolving door. While I loved having so much support, I have to admit that it was rather exhausting. Trying to look like I had it all together and this whole "new Mom" thing was a piece of cake took every ounce of strength and patience I had in me.
As part of the Pampers Baby Board, I recently learned about a new trend called a "Ding Dong Diaper Ditch" which was featured on Happy Home Fairy. Basically, the Mom gets pampered with a box of diapers without having to entertain guests. Simply leave the diapers on the doorstep, ring the bell….and RUN!
Today, I decided to Ding Dong Diaper Ditch a friend of mine that is expecting Baby Boy #2 next month. Thank to Pampers, I was able to leave two boxes of diapers as well as a few coupons for more free diapers for the Mom to either use for herself or to pay it forward to another unsuspecting Mom. Check it out:
I had a blast surprising my friend! She has already figured out it was me (I guess the disguise didn't work as well as I had hoped) and was so grateful for the gift for her new baby boy. Share the love….get out and Ding Dong Diaper Ditch with Pampers!

How often does this happen? Often, actually.
The match everyone wanted to watch ended up being a snoozer, a one-sided affair that saw Manchester United trounce Chelsea 3-0 in the race for the EPL title.
Meanwhile, in Carson, Calif., the tournament everyone forgets about once it leaves town saw one of its best days yet, with both matches of an InterLiga finals doubleheader decided via shootouts.
Chivas Guadalajara settled down after an own goal by Carlos Ochoa, tied Morelia with a spectacular shot by 19-year-old Marco Fabian for the 1-1 and won the spot-kick contest 4-2 to win the sixth edition of InterLiga and claim Mexico's No. 2 spot (direct) to Copa Libertadores.
But the night's thriller came courtesy of Pachuca-Atlas, which saw the Tuzos jump to a 3-0 lead in the first half only to have the Zorros tie things up in the second.
If you thought the 3-3 was exciting, Pachuca won the shootout 10-9 – 10-9 – with Miguel Calero making four stops. The Tuzos get Mexico's No. 3 spot (to a play-in series) to Libertadores.
On the other side of the Atlantic, David Beckham (AC Milan) and Landon Donovan (Bayern Munich) made their debuts – both rather successful – with their temp clubs.
Your take: Which match(es) had you most glued to your TV on Sunday? Was it Devils-Blues? Pachuca-Atlas? AC Milan-Roma?

Actonel bone loss
Common Questions and Answers about Actonel bone loss
Currently, there are three biphosphonates - alendronate [Fosamax], etidronate [Didronal]) and risedronate [Actonel], that have been approved by the FDA for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. These medications have been shown to increase
mass, prevent
, and to decrease the incidence of bone fractures. Fosamax and Actonal have the advantage of a once-a-week administration, as opposed to the alternative of daily administration.

what kind of vasculitis do you have? I read alot about vasculitis because this is what my symptoms point to but still have no diagnosis of anything. Have you gone to the vasculitis foundation website? There is great info on there. I think you will find it helpful. It will provide you with alot of other links as well. In reading about the cytoxan this is usually the first level of treatment for an extreme case along with prednisone.

The endocrinolgist says my
is so severe I could have a
fracture at any time for any reason. I don't know which came first,the bone loss or the osteoperosis. I also have osteoarthritis and degenerative arthritis plus arthritis has set in on some ruptured disks I have. My question is has anyone been given zoledronic acid or bisphosponate therapy, which is similar. It is a once a year infusion. Does it help with pain?

The goal of osteoporosis treatment is the prevention of
fractures by stopping
and by increasing
density and strength. Although early detection and timely treatment of osteoporosis can substantially decrease the risk of future fracture, none of the available treatments for osteoporosis are complete cures. Therefore, prevention of osteoporosis is as important as treatment.

Not just because of the possibility of

Hello, Alendronate causes reduction in
, increases
density and reduces the risk of spine, hip and other broken bones to a large extent in most of the people taking this drug. The few side effects of this medicine are nausea, heartburn; osteonecrosis of jaw bone .There have also been few reports of unusual fractures of the thigh bone in people taking bisphosphonate medicines. You definitely need to inform your doctor about this pain and get the cause detected. I hope it helps.

is natural as we age. We all cannot maintain the bone density of a medium framed 25 yr old (what they base the test scores on) I just received the results of a recent Dexascan. My hip density actually improved but my lumbar L1-L4 had some minimal loss - go figure! I was happy to see some improvement but also bummed about the lumbar. Drat!

It was a situation where my
scan was debatable I think - one doc said
, my new GP said Im simply smaller framed than the templates they use to measure..now I only take calcium D and workout a little harder...and my ENT tended to agree with that route, at least until my next scan. Also, ENT recommended that I sleep a bit upright on the pillow with head tilted - guess that helps too with reflux overnight.

I would not take Fosamax unless you have severe osteoporosis and there is no other way to impede
. These drugs do not build
but rather interrupt the natural
rebuilding process (osteoclasts & osteoblasts) These drugs add a sheath or layer of hardening substance to the bone that impedes "loss" of bone density. However, in the process, it stops the bones ability to absorb calcium. There are new studies that show the risks of bisphosphonate drugs.

As you have implied, however, aromatase inhibitors can have side effects such as joint aches and pains as well as
density loss. It should be noted that the anti-osteoporosis drug Evista is chemically similar to tamoxifen and it is not recommended that either tamoxifen or Evista be used in combination with an aromatase inhibitor as they may interfere with its activity. This is not true for bisphosphonates such as Actonel, which appear to be safe in this setting.

They did a bone density check using a small heal machine which showed I was at risk for

I followed up with my HMO primary doctor who said no way I should have any bone or heart problems based on my personal, family, and medical history, as well as my current physical condition (I'm lean and muscular with no real limitations to speak of).

They are a steroidal injection into the effected area of the spine. The theory is that the steroids will reduce inflammation and swelling thus reducing the pain.

I have done exceedingly well on mtx , although it can be very toxic to the liver and
marrow. At the start, I had to have blood tests each week for about 3 months I think, then every 2 weeks, and now monthly. I used to have severe rectal haemorrhages that put me in the ER many times, but since taking mtx I haven't had a single bleed. I am doing so well on it - but have had to change from oral tablets to self injected, as my diarrhea came back.

I agree, even Amy shouldn't be there, was that rule in the game all along? Why did they suddenly decide to enforce it now? Because if its been there then Amy, Bugeyd, Zackass and friends have all done their share of harassing.Originally Posted by luna_chicago

Uh, oh. Tom will vote with Amy. They are bonded by their passion for monkeys.

Well, this is my first post. So I'm a little late with my opinion, but here it is, regardless of who wants to hear it.
Hi, I'm CA1817, and I love to hate Paradise Hotel! I watch every week!
Am I a DKCT (or whatever order) fan?
NO!!! Hell no!!
Am I an "Originals" fan?
NO!!! When Hell freezes over!
I agree with the title of this thread. I dislike *everyone* on PH!
My most hated for guys: It's a tie!!!
Zack: He has truly earned the name "Zackass". I've never seen a more immature, rude, evil waste of space than this guy. Although you gotta admire a guy who tells a girl she's fat and ugly and then gets lucky that very night! (or the next, whatever it was). No, seriously, the guy is the defenition of loser.
I, like everyone else, am confused by the fact that everyone on this show is "poison", and he will never forgive them, 50 guys, blah blah blah, while he seems to have forgiven his mother who left him at a supermarket, and he respects her opinion of Amy. Whatever.
#2 we have (and I know this will be an unpopular opinion)
Keith: I have disliked this guy from day 1. Whatever he's selling, I'm not buying. If I have to hear this guy say "it's just a game" one more time...
I do admit he is "playing the game", but he also whines too damn much.
He does get points for getting rid of Zack, but loses them again for trying to take credit for "getting Zack kicked off a second time". The only person who can take credit for that is Zack, who got his own dumb ass booted off the show. I really, really doubt that Keith planned that incident in his head ('I know, I'll get Zack really mad, and then I'll just sit there and say nothing until he threatens me, and then he'll get booted off'). Yeah, no.. I'm not buying it.
For the women we have:
Amy: Do I really need to say anything at all here? I just know if I have to see her & Keith and their little "I guess we'll see" "We will" "ok" "we will" scene one more time I just might pull out all my hair.
Tara: I think this girl is conniving & two faced. She's only gotten this far by riding on Charla's coat tails.
I'm glad to have found this board where I can vent my anger! lol
I do have to say though, the one thing I've noticed is the amount of people who "hate" the "originals" because they are unnecessarily mean and cruel, yet these same posters will make a comment on Amy's complexion, or the way Zack dresses, Charla's nails, Dave's looks, etc..
The contestants on PH have MORE than enough personality traits to point out and ridicule, I think the physical superficial stuff can stay out of it.
JMO of course.

Marlon Pack - progress report...
As said recently, following the Pompey players currently out on loan is something that I 'hope', with the help of my fellow Vital eds/their sides members, to do more of this season to keep us more updated with how they are going during their loan spells away from Fratton.
Marlon Pack is currently on loan with Wycombe until the end of the month - at least. The 18-year-old is reported back to us by Len, from Vital Wycombe.
Enough from me I will hand you over to Len:
'Marlon Pack has extended his loan period at Wycombe Wanderers until 31st October and you won't find any Chairboys complaining about that.
'The youngster forced his way into the team a few weeks ago and has now started the last four games, winning the Man Of The Match award for his performance in Tuesday's game against Tranmere Rovers.
'Standing in for Wycombe's best player, the injured Northern Ireland international Tommy Doherty, Pack has shown a maturity beyond his years and at the moment, is probably the first name on manager Peter Taylor's team sheet every week.
'Strong in the tackle and with a great range of passing, Pack has been playing the holding role in midfield for Wycombe. Whether or not he offers much going forward remains to be seen, but he does like to try his hand if we get a free kick within range, to no avail so far I'm afraid!'
Thanks again to Len from Vital Wycombe.

That bottle looks outrageous! Interesting! And the notes look enticing. Thank you for sharing.
Due for September 7th release! Jean Paul Gaultier's new masculine Kokorico
Olfactory Family: Woody - Cocoa
Head notes: fig leaves.
Notes: Raw Cocoa Bean.
Background notes: Wood.
With top notes of fig leaves for energy.
In middle notes, raw beans and bitter cocoa contributing the aphrodisiac.
In substance, the woods give power and virility.
It sounds/feels a bit like B*Men in its composition, but I guess the proof is in the smelling

That bottle looks outrageous! Interesting! And the notes look enticing. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the info SoS, it will be interesting to try.
Energy, aphrodisiac and virility though? Are horny teenage boys the demographic of choice these day?
Thank you for posting, I wonder which one will be the Eau de toillet? (the skull one or the torso one)
Last edited by Sorcery of Scent; 11th June 2011 at 10:51 AM.
We shall see;-)
I wonder if this will make it state side? Terrible never made it to dept store retail here
The name is so ridiculously funny I will definitely try this one.
As a Gaultier Fan im excited, cause i love all fragrances from gaultier.
The Name is, hell, is ridiculous, Cocorico is a name of a childrens TV show here at Brazil, lol.
But the notes sounds nice, i like fig and love chocolate.
Also, i expect the torso as the main EDT bottle, that face is hilariantly ridiculous, lol
Its a Kurkdjian creation???
Well this has two option...being really unique and interesting, or being a generic woody fail
Looks like the general popularity of L'Instant Pour Homme EDP was noted by somebody.
Provided that it's not the most offensive of synthetic chocolates, I expect to be loving this one.
And the bottle is totally sharp. Manages to maintain JPG outrageousness without outraging. I dig it.
There is no beauty
That cannot be more abused
To beauty's effect.

Yo no puedo entender francais but here's a french link if anyone wants to nutshell it for people who don't speak french haha? It's pretty funny, I'm something like 85-90% french and can speak 4 words of the language
Amazing, Very excited to check this one out. Even though the only fragrance I like from the house allot is Le Male, everything they produce keeps me interested.
The hunt for a Signature Fragrance is not an easy one! I see the light at the end of the tunnel! Edit: 2015... I've given up and given in

Looking for swap:Spicebomb Extreme, Pure Tonka A*men, Lolita Lempicka Minuit, Bleeker Street
Hmm, the chocolate version of Le Male's vanilla maybe? Anyway, I love both fig and cocoa notes, so I'll definitely want to check this one out. I only hope the wood in the base is a subtle and smooth wood and not really strong. I hope the fig and especially the cocoa are the main emphasis.
Also, I love the bottles.
Poor english translation of a French article:
Kokorico perfume - Jean Paul Gaultier:
A fragrance full of energy, manly and Aphrodisiacal ...
Jean Paul Gaultier - Kokorico - Pub on September 7
A wooded cocoa, ultra-addictive!
With this new perfume you prove by wearing it you'll be ultra-stylish! This new fragrance is a must have for being at the forefront of originality.
Kokorico a name of audacity and humor.
The cry of men uninhibited, assertive and s'afffichent.
A bottle that plays with appearances. The "sham"!
A theme dear to the enfant terrible of fashion. Mouth face sexy silhouette of a man's body in profile.
Jean Paul Gaultier - Kokorico - The Line.
The famous box metal box is revisited in the film.
It is red and fiery. This new fragrance is a value sure to make you attractive and charismatic, you're sure not deceive you. Your friends will love.
Sounds a bit like 'Engrish' in the translation, but I think we get the drift...
I predict generic woody fail. The name and bottle are certainly enough to grab attention, though, and that counts for something in today's market. I thought the bottle was ludicrous until I saw the side-view pic, with the shout-out to Le Male's torso. That's very clever.Originally Posted by Neurosis
Count me in as interested. I was recently at an IFF fragrance event and they were pushing chocolate as a top note - they must have released a new aroma chemical.
Anyways, JPG who originally gave us "body" now gives us "head" - I like this very 80s take on an Art Deco look. Its high concept reminds me a bit of Bertellis famous sculpture Continuous Profile, of Mussolini.

What about the bottle, really... Sounds like april fool's out of season!
À l'air libre les oiseaux ont eux aussi le vertige (camille)
I hope I'm wrong, but this screams Big Pony #2 to me...
Wow. That bottle is very Dali! Blind buy for sure.
Cheesy name! I was actually expecting coconut, and NOT cocoa (since Coco Rico is also the name of an old, still extant "coconut" soda drink.) This looks like my kind of thing, I wonder how the contrast between the fake fig and the cocoa plays out. The marketing is ludicrous (or perhaps, "effective") selling the fragrance as some sort of mating potion.
I have so many cocoa fragrances right now, but I always end up being curious about these, and I do like both Le Male and Fleur du Male. This seems to be so different, though, but I hope that at least the smell is gorgeous, and with at least some substance. Fynnu that Gaultier jumped to the cocoa bandwagon THIS late? Better late than never, one can never have enough chocolate, especially in such low calorie fashion.
This one sounds promising. JPG, for all my mockery of the brand, does well with regards to quality. I'll certainly want to sample this when it comes out.
It will be awesome to read all the guys predicting another "typical" department shop counter fragrance. Considering JPG's track record, why not give it the benefit of the doubt ? Nah, it will be another boring Canali !
Seeking: Bottles/decants : of Pomegranate Noir, Midnight in Paris EDP, Feeling Man, Essence of John Galliano, Azzaro pour Homme (vintage),...etc.
Seeking decant/sample of PdE Ambre Russe, Jil Sander Feeling Man, Comme des Garcons 2 Man, Giorgio VIP, ....etc. I have samples to swap.

Please PM me !
Sounds interesting. Thanks for the post.
From the bottle to the notes, this one makes me think of Comme des Garcons. When i saw the bottle at fragrantica i thought that CDG was launching a new limited bottle edition of their first fragrance, only after that i noticed it was a JPG creation. The notes also makes me think of CDG, but with only three listed is hard to know exactly what it will smell like.
And today i just reminded that PUIG Group is now the major owner of Jean Paul Gaultier after Hermès sold its stake. And PUIG also owns CDG. Curious to see if this one will really have any CDG influence, and also if this change of senior partner will afect the house`s style...
Puig´s Prada and Carolina Herrera´s are ok, but just that.
Shiseido/ BPI did a great job in the past for JPG,I mean le Male was a hit, Narciso Rodruguez fragrances both for men or women were great also. And let´s not forget Serge Lutens fragrances. I hope this one is stil made by BPI/Shiseido. I´m afraid Puig is step one to boredom for the JPG line.
I cannot WAIT for this. I wish this were coming next month
woah. Havent been on in a while, and a sign on and see this. I just got a tingly feeling. I'm so excited!!!!! Blind buy FOR SURE
My Current Fab Five Fragrances:
1) Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male
2) YSL La Nuit De L'homme
3) Acqua Di Gio Profumo
4) Valentino Uomo Intense
5) Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male

#CET16Congress: "Communication and Education by Transmedia" . Erasmus+project 2014-2016. 20-22 Abril. Universitat de Girona (Catalonia) Spain
The project: Description
The proposal of this project is to study the situation in the primary and the secondary schools and to find answers related to the use of the new technologies and how the students are using them. For this reason, the project team includes four high schools, a primary school, a teachers' training center, and the faculty of Communication of the University of Girona. The principal aims of the project are to:
- Offer to teachers, students and parents the best knowledge and tools in order to integrate in the best possible way the new technologies in the school.
- Produce a scientific research to realize the situation of how the schools (primary and secondary) use this technologies.
- Produce two Decalogues about the safe use of Internet and about the policy to use both software and hardware in the school and the teaching-learning process (laptops, ipad, mobile phones, applications, programs...)
- Produce materials to develop the decalogues for different sessions in the classroom.
- Produce three seminars and one MOOC course with the information and tools developed in the project.
- Create a web site and Apps in order to share all the products, always under Creative Commons open license.
- Publish a special number in the scientific journal "Communication Papers", published under Creative Commons license, with the content of the research and the conclusions.
- Organize, at the end of the project, an international Congress about COMMUNICATION AND EDUCATION BY TRANSMEDIA (the project acronym) to show and spread the products of the project.
The Project: Management
The new rules of Erasmus+, if the project is shared by different kinds of institutions, hand over the control and management of the budget of the project to the coordinating institution. Our organization and its coordinator, have a long experience in previous projects that were also coordinated by us. The last one, the Multilateral Comenius project "Water: the life of my river, my life" was a project of eight partners from seven countries. With seven institutions, the communications among the partners will always be through the coordinators. Each coordinator will have its own team of teachers to keep informed, to assist in the development of the activities/tasks/outputs we will need to design and to help in the development and testing of the final products. The center of the organization is the coordinator. Each one of them is responsible of what their organization has to produce and for the coordinator of the applicant organization it's easier to contact only with the other coordinators. We believe that eTwinning is a valuable tool that provides both teachers and students with the appropriate and safe environment to communicate. For that reason, we plan to use it explicitly in our project. Also all the mails or spaces like Dropbox or Google Drive, will be shared among the seven coordinators.

This dish is at the heart of any Jamaican celebration! Goat meat needs to stew for about four hours to become tender, whereas lamb cooks quickly. Serve with white fluffy rice and a fresh, cooling salad.
Wash the prepared goat meat, (lamb) pat dry. Mix together all the ingredients except the
oil and curry.Rub into the meat. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hours.
Remove any large pieces of seasoning from the meat (onions, scallions, allspice berries, etc.) and reserve. In a large skillet, heat the oil over a medium heat and add the meat. Brown, turning the pieces often to seal in flavours.
Lower the heat, add the reserved seasoning to the pan and add about 2 cups of water and curry. Stir. Cover and allow to simmer until the meat is tender - about 1 1/2 - 4 hours (if using goat).
Add extra water and curry, if necessary, to extend gravy.
Serves 4 - 6.
Try serving this with baked or fried ripe plaintain and sliced avocado if you want to be truly authentic.
