Can you recommend me another site where I can get this besides playasia? They are asking $35 + shipping.
I'm very pleased with some of the remixes on the album. I like what they've done with "I'll Face Myself" a lot. As it was one of my favorites in the original soundtrack, I'd say it's extremely impressive they were able to improve it in my eyes.

They have to do something at the the Maritime Terminal the following morning, at least that's how I'm reading it.

#14 Boingo , should go with #10 the Bahia fort , Salvador Boingo: Fort Sao Marcelo
oh, i see, thanks - got it about fiji. i just assumed that the names on these pix had nothing to do with the content, since this pic of dancers is from the andes somewhere, the "kenya" was kiwiland, and there certainly aren't any elephants in iceland!
I'd say Forte Sao Marcelo day 2 as in April 25th based on the change of clothes
where can i find the promo video? the one with the 'Real Emotion' etc

Law 7 - Duration of the Game/Official Timekeeping/Tight Schedule
Printer-friendly version
Grade 12 and older play 45-minute halves; Grade 10 play 40-minute halves; Grade 8 play 35-minute halves; Grade 6 and younger play 30-minute halves.
The referee is the official timekeeper, and he/she may add time to compensate for obvious time-wasting, prolonged injury, or time lost by excessive substitution.
The referee and the coaches must recognize that every field is tightly scheduled and that all games must start on time. Youth referees are typically assigned to more than one game, sometimes at different locations. However, if a delayed start time is beyond the control of both teams, all efforts should be made to play a complete game, without disrupting the subsequent games at the same site.

Bow down, y'all: Beyonce is on the cover of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People issue!
Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook and founder of LeanIn.org, penned a tribute to Queen Bey, praising her for "[raising] her voice both on- and offstage to urge women to be independent and lead." Sandberg writes, "In the past year, Beyonce has sold out the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour while being a full-time mother. Her secret: hard work, honesty and authenticity. And her answer to the question, 'What would you do if you weren't afraid?' appears to be 'Watch me. I'm about to do it.' Then she adds, 'You can, too.'"
Other notable nominees on the Time 100 list include Benedict Cumberbatch, described as an "alarmingly talented English star," "Late Night's" Seth Meyers, Oscar nominees Amy Adams and Robert Redford, Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey, singer/producer extraordinaire Pharrell Williams, "Scandal" star and mom-to-be Kerry Washington and pop star/Queen of Twerk Miley Cyrus.
VIDEO: Beyonce's not bossy...She's the boss
Jason Collins, the NBA's first openly gay athlete, is named as a top influencer, too, with a supportive tribute written by Chelsea Clinton. The activist and mom-to-be calls her former Stanford classmate "a leader and an inspiration," lauding him for maintaining, above all else, a sense of "integerity."
Pope Francis makes the list, too, with President Barack Obama (also an honoree) praising His Holiness for "his message of love and inclusion" and having "inspired us all" by example.
The complete Time 100 list of influential people can be seen in the magazine, on stands this Friday,

- What Is Nelfinavir?
- Who Should Take Nelfinavir?
- What About Drug Resistance?
- How Is Nelfinavir Taken?
- What Are the Side Effects?
- How Does Nelfinavir React With Other Drugs?
What Is Nelfinavir?
Nelfinavir, also called Viracept, is a drug used as part of antiretroviral therapy (ART). It is manufactured by ViiV Healthcare. Nelfinavir is a protease inhibitor. These drugs prevent the protease enzyme from working. HIV protease acts like a chemical scissor. It cuts the raw material for HIV into specific pieces needed to build a new virus. Protease inhibitors "gum up" these scissors.
Nelfinavir also fights some types of cancer. It has been studied against breast cancer and anal cancer.
Who Should Take Nelfinavir?
Nelfinavir was approved in 1997 as an antiretroviral drug (ARV) for people with HIV infection of any age. In 2007, a potentially dangerous impurity was found in several batches of nelfinavir. Nelfinavir was recalled by the European Medicines Agency. However, this was reversed several months later. The FDA recommended that nelfinavir not be used by pregnant women or in children until new manufacturing standards were met. These conditions were met in May 2008.
There are no absolute rules about when to start ART. You and your health care provider should consider your CD4 cell count, your viral load, any symptoms you are having, and your attitude about taking ART. Fact Sheet 404 has more information about guidelines for the use of ART.
If you take nelfinavir with other ARVs, you can reduce your viral load to extremely low levels, and increase your CD4 cell counts. This should mean staying healthier longer.
What About Drug Resistance?
Many new copies of HIV are mutations. They are slightly different from the original virus. Some mutations can keep multiplying even when you are taking an ARV. When this happens, the drug will stop working. This is called "developing resistance" to the drug. See Fact Sheet 126 for more information on resistance.
Sometimes, if your virus develops resistance to one drug, it will also have resistance to other ARVs. This is called "cross-resistance."
Resistance can develop quickly. It is very important to take ARVs according to instructions, on schedule, and not to skip or reduce doses.
How Is Nelfinavir Taken?
Nelfinavir is taken by mouth as a capsule. It should be taken with a meal or a light snack. The original dose was 750 milligrams (mg) three times a day. Using 250 mg capsules, this meant taking 3 capsules at a time.
Late in 1999, the FDA approved twice-daily dosing of nelfinavir at 1250 mg per dose. This meant taking 5 capsules at a time. In April 2003 the FDA approved a 625 mg tablet. This cut the pill count to 2 tablets, twice a day.
If you want to change how often you take nelfinavir, talk to your health care provider. Different doses are used in some combinations. Be sure you know how much nelfinavir your health care provider has prescribed for you, and when and how to take each dose.
Nelfinavir should be stored at room temperature and protected from moisture, freezing, or excessive heat.
What Are the Side Effects?
The most common side effects of nelfinavir are diarrhea, weakness, headache, nausea, and abdominal pain. None of these side effects seem to be very serious. The diarrhea in most cases can be controlled with over-the-counter medications.
How Does Nelfinavir React With Other Drugs?
Nelfinavircan interact with other drugs or supplements that you are taking. These interactions can change the amount of each drug in your bloodstream and cause an under- or overdose. New interactions are being identified all the time.
Drugs to watch out for include other ARVs, drugs to treat tuberculosis (see Fact Sheet 518), for erectile dysfunction (such as Viagra), for heart rhythm (antiarrhythmics), and for migraine headaches. Interactions are also possible with several antihistamines (allergy medications), sedatives, drugs to lower cholesterol, and anti-fungal drugs. Make sure that your health care provider knows about ALL drugs and supplements you are taking.
If you are taking nelfinavir and ddI, you should take ddI one hour before or two hours after nelfinavir.
Nelfinavir decreases blood levels of Kaletra and can affect levels of Warfarin, used to adjust blood clotting.
Taking nelfinavir with delavirdine increases blood levels of both drugs. Avoid this combination.
Nelfinavir decreases methadone levels. Watch for signs of excessive sedation if you take nelfinavir with buprenorphine.
Some birth control pills may not work if you are taking nelfinavir. Talk to your health care provider about how to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
The herb St. John's Wort (see Fact Sheet 729) lowers the blood levels of some protease inhibitors. Do not take it with nelfinavir.

Simon keeps showing starter stuff in eight strong
CINCINNATI -- Back in Spring Training, the Reds tabbed reliever Alfredo Simon to step into the rotation when Mat Latos was injured. It seemed, at first, as though Simon's assignment was temporary.
As it would happen, Latos had a couple of setbacks and Simon thrived as a starter. Once Latos is finally activated on Saturday, as expected, all signs point to Simon remaining in the rotation and the struggling Tony Cingrani coming out.View Full Game Coverage
CINCINNATI -- Back in Spring Training, the Reds tabbed reliever Alfredo Simon to step into the rotation when Mat Latos was injured. It seemed, at first, as though Simon's assignment was temporary.
As it would happen, Latos had a couple of setbacks and Simon thrived as a starter. Once Latos is finally activated on Saturday, as expected, all signs point to Simon remaining in the rotation and the struggling Tony Cingrani coming out.View Full Game Coverage
In a 4-1 Reds win over the Dodgers on Thursday that gave them a split of the four-game series, Simon only made that decision look clearer. While tying his career high of eight innings pitched, he gave up one earned run and seven hits with no walks, one hit batter and five strikeouts.
"It was tremendous and it was much-needed," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "There were three guys in the 'pen we really wanted to stay away from today. We were able to do that."
Although he was strong from the bullpen the past two seasons, Simon has been Cincinnati's most pleasant surprise from the rotation this season. In 13 starts, he is 9-3 with a 2.95 ERA.
"You certainly couldn't have expected [it], not just the 9-3, because sometimes you're the benefactor of a lot of runs being scored every fifth day for you," Price said. "In his case, this is a sub-3.00 ERA, a low walk ratio, a low hit ratio, a low batting average against -- all that statistical stuff we all love. He's doing it. And he's pitching us deep into games. That's the thing that's surprising me more than anything."
Finishing with a 5-5 homestand is not the stuff dreams are usually made of, but this was a needed feel-good ending. Reds starting pitching came up big in the final two games, after Mike Leake and Cingrani combined for 11 earned runs allowed in 10 innings in back-to-back losses to the Dodgers. Then, Johnny Cueto and Simon combined for one earned run over 14 innings, while the Reds scored a combined nine runs heading into a road trip that begins at first-place Milwaukee on Friday.
"It could have been a very disappointing homestand," Price said. "At one point, we were 3-5 and got stung a little bit by L.A. with two unimpressive losses, and rallied back and had two really impressive wins. It's more the type of play our club is capable of playing. We did some really good things."
The Dodgers challenged Simon over the first two innings and ran him up quickly to 43 pitches. In a three-hit top of the first, it was Matt Kemp's two-out single to center field that scored Justin Turner and made it a 1-0 game.
"In the first inning, he came out and was a little off," Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco said. "I think he was a little amped up, because he knew that we needed a big start out of him, and last time these guys got to him a little bit [for five runs in 3 2/3 innings on May 27]."
Facing Zack Greinke, who came in with a 2.62 ERA overall and 2.06 on the road, the Reds countered well and took the lead. In the bottom of the first, Skip Schumaker blooped a leadoff single into center field, and Todd Frazier hit his team-leading 14th homer by lifting a two-run shot to the first row in right field on a first pitch.
"That helped me a lot," Simon said. "When he hit that home run, I just felt more comfortable. I kept pounding the zone and everything was good."
Simon settled into a groove and made the small lead work. Including a seven-pitch fourth inning, he retired 13 of 14 and 11 in a row until he hit Turner with a 2-2 pitch to begin the sixth. Following Joey Votto's first-inning double, Greinke locked down the Reds by retiring 15 of his next 16 batters.
"Unbelievable," Frazier said of Simon's outing. "I look at the little things. He threw 43 pitches in the first two and [16] in the next two. Something like that is huge to get the extra two or three more innings if he needs it. I think that was big. His determination was great out there."
Los Angeles had runners on the corners and no outs in the seventh following singles by Kemp and Andre Ethier, but Simon escaped. With one out, Miguel Rojas bounced into a fielder's choice at third base, where Frazier threw home to get Kemp in a rundown. Ethier narrowly reached third base on the play, but Simon struck out pinch-hitter Scott Van Slyke to end the inning.
Simon returned for the eighth and gave up a one-out single, but got back-to-back fielder's choice plays to get out of it. Cincinnati added two insurance runs in the eighth against Brandon League. Zack Cozart doubled and later scored on a wild pitch, and pinch-hitter Ryan Ludwick hit a RBI single to center field. Aroldis Chapman's string of 22-straight retired over seven appearances ended with a walk and one-out single in the ninth. But Chapman struck out the side for his 10th save.
Meanwhile, Simon is looking forward to continuing what he's done as a starter.
"Bryan gave me the opportunity to start this year," Simon said. "I just try to do my best every time I go out."

The deck of a decommissioned Soviet aircraft carrier docked on China's coast seems an unlikely place to make a fashion statement, but to Pierre Cardin, the backdrop made perfect sense.
The feisty 88-year-old French designer, who has said he wants to sell his massive style empire, unveiled a romantic collection for this year on the former battleship in an ode to peace — and perhaps to attract deep-pocketed Chinese investors.
Dozens of male and female models strutted down a catwalk lined with fighter jets in everything from shimmery silver flight suits to sassy mini-dresses in bold colors with keyhole cut-outs that recalled the couturier's 1960s heyday.
In a bit of theater to end Friday night's 30-minute style parade, a model in a red sequined jumpsuit emerged from a helicopter that landed on the deck and took Cardin's hand for a curtain call, to the applause of hundreds of guests.
"If you want to be a great designer, pretty dresses are not enough," Cardin told reporters before the event in the port city of Tianjin. "You must provoke your audience — amaze and even surprise them."
During a career that has spanned more than six decades, Cardin has certainly been a trailblazer — he was one of the first designers to bring Western style to Asia and one of the first to develop brand licensing.
Earlier this month, he told the Wall Street Journal he was ready to sell his label, as long as he retains artistic control — and gets the 1 billion euros (US$1.4 billion) he insists the company is worth.
"If they don't have the means, they don't have the right to buy it. Simple as that," an unapologetic Cardin told the press conference.
The designer said he had so far received several offers for his label, including from Chinese buyers, but declined to offer any specifics on who may be in the running.
When asked if he would be keen to see his company fall into the hands of a Chinese firm, he replied: "China — why not?"
Analysts say it could be a perfect fit.
"Right now, Chinese investors are deep-pocketed and they're looking to acquire Western brands that they can bring back to China," said Shaun Rein, managing director of China Market Research Group in Shanghai. "It's too difficult to build a brand from scratch."
Sam Mulligan, director of the market research firm Data Driven Marketing Asia, agreed.
"The big market for this brand in the future is going to be this market. If there is a company that would understand this market better than an European company, it would be a Chinese company," Mulligan said.
In 2009, Cardin sold 32 textile and accessory licenses in China to Jiangsheng Trading Co (健生貿易) and Cardanro (卡丹路) for 200 million euros — evidence, perhaps, of the brand's enduring cachet in the country of 1.3 billion people.
Officials at Pierre Cardin would not give the company's total revenue figures for China, but say they see about 20 percent annual revenue growth in the world's -second-largest economy — the fastest--growing market for luxury goods.

The Purge is an easily commendable film to those who like the short, sweet, and cathartic violent enjoyment of a solid thriller.
In The Purge we witness an imminent future (the year 2022) in which America has created a new system for controlling crime, violence and poverty. Known as the annual "Purge," the 'new founding fathers' declare that for one day every year, all crime is legal while emergency and law enforcement services are shut down for a span of twelve hours.
James Sandin (Ethan Hawke) is a top salesman at a security systems firm, who lives with his wife Mary (Lena Headey), daughter Zoey (Adelaide Kane) and gifted son Charlie (Max Burkholder) in a wealthy gated community, whose pristine streets are spared from the annual night of savagery. Things go horribly wrong when sympathetic Charlie allows a wounded man (Edwin Hodge) to take refuge in the Sandin's home, thereby attracting a posse of murderous upper-crust socialites, who demand the Sandins return the group's lost quarry... or face brutal consequences.
The Purge is basically Shirley Jackson's seminal horror story "The Lottery" refashioned as a quasi-philosophical, B-movie horror/thriller. Whenever the film is delving into philosophical quandary and social commentary, it is often an excellent piece of work; unfortunately, that excellence is dragged down by silly horror movie cliches and some lackluster characters. Overall, though, the movie is a tightly-paced and effective thrill-ride experience.
James DeMonaco both wrote and directed the The Purge. While his director credits are short (this film and an indie flick called Little New York), his writing resume includes such memorable (but still B-movie-level) thrillers like The Negotiator and the 2005 Assault on Precinct 13 remake, which also starred Ethan Hawke. Like those aforementioned films, The Purge is a very tightly-paced and well-staged thriller, and DeMonaco (along with veteran cinematographer Jacques Jouffret) manages to turn the single-setting into a proper horror movie set piece. In general, the entire movie is surprisingly well-crafted and creates a definite atmosphere of second-to-second tension, with a few good horror scares and thrilling action sequences, to boot.
On the script side of things, DeMonaco is clearly borrowing from Jackson's story of complacency and tradition run amok, but he puts what he borrows to pretty good use in terms of crafting an interesting premise which engenders a simple but deliciously twisted spin on the survival-horror sub-genre. The most unnerving thing about The Purge is that the concept creates a sort of 'Body Snatchers-type fear; no one can be sure how anyone around them is going to react, given the opportunity for violence, which keeps things uncertain and edgy.
DeMonaco's tale, while often obvious and heavy-handed (but subtly brilliant at other times), is nonetheless a piercing head-trip in terms of core themes. In fact, watching it in theaters - watching audiences howling and cheering for gruesome violence - is enough to fill your head with dread about who your neighbor in the next seat truly is - or at least would be, given an opportunity to "purge themselves." There is definitely something unnervingly relevant and timely about The Purge and its commentary on our collective (and respective) psychology - just as Jackson's "Lottery" still has frightening resonation more than sixty years later. For those concerned: The Purge is not so much political as philosophical, and - given its approach to the subject matter - is generally one of the better horror/thriller concepts to come along in awhile.
Now for the rub...
Married to this intriguing premise and timely commentary is a schlocky horror flick, filled with big logical gaps and a few hollow characters who only exist to serve the film's manic plotline. While Ethan Hawke (Sinister) and Lena Headey (Game of Thrones) are both top-notch in their respective roles as Mr. & Mrs. Sandin, their children - played by Parenthood star Max Burkholder and Power Rangers R.P.M. star Adelaide Kane - are (in no uncertain terms) poorly-drawn horror movie cliches.
Young Charlie and teenage Zoey are literally walking MacGuffins who flit in and out of the shadows at different points (according to some vague narrative logic) solely to force the adult characters (and the audience) to constantly seek some new objective in the house or examine their morals - all while the threat of danger to the Sandin brood keeps things on the razor's edge of tension. Burkholder does as well as he can with his part, but Kane's acting, like her character, sinks deep into annoying caricature territory.
On the other hand, we are given some better characters in the form of our "villains," a roving band of elitist psychos in smiley face masks (why complicate things with names?). Their leader (credited as "Polite Stranger" and played by Rhys Wakefield) is a pretty freaky guy, who does about as well as one can with his on-the-nose monologues about society's "proper order" and such. Edwin Hodge (Cougar Town) is equally good as the "Bloody Stranger" the Sandins take in, keeping his nature vague but interesting enough to pull off one of the film's better arcs. The third act pushes things (and a few of the actors in the ensemble) into a campy realm of melodrama, before settling into what is either one of the most brilliantly witty or awkwardly terrible conclusions to a horror/thriller film that I've seen.
...Whom we should all thank when real-life "Purge Clubs" start showing up in neighborhoods nationwide.

The Purge is now playing in theaters. It is 85 minutes long and is Rated R for strong disturbing violence and some language.

Give us more money and we'll fight the pirates, Somalia says
MOMBASA, Kenya — As the American skipper once held hostage by pirates reached dry land here Thursday aboard a U.S. warship and his 19-man crew received a heroes' welcome in the U.S., the source of the piracy plague in the Indian Ocean — Somalia — said it could help fight the problem.
Somali Prime Minister Omar Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke told McClatchy that aggressive actions by foreign navies — such as Sunday's high-seas U.S. Navy assault that freed ship captain Richard Phillips after five days in captivity — could at best be a stopgap measure against piracy. Its roots are on Somali soil, he said, and the Somali government, though desperately weak, could attack pirate bases and money networks with a little more financial help from foreign donors.
"We have information on how they do business," Sharmarke said of eight pirate "cartels" that Somali officials had identified. "We can stop them before they go into the water."
Somalis, traditionally suspicious of foreign intervention, are nonetheless growing angry at the rise in piracy off its shores, which has refocused attention on the failings of a country that hasn't had a functioning government since 1991. Somali leaders have tried to walk a fine line between expressing regret at the surge in pirate attacks and mourning the killings of Phillips' three Somali captors by Navy sharpshooters from the destroyer USS Bainbridge.
"We hope that the scourge of piracy can be eliminated from Somalia, so we don't have to suffer any further losses," Sharmarke said in a statement released by U.S. officials in Kenya.
A fourth captor, who came aboard the USS Bainbridge hours before the Navy assault, has been transferred to an undisclosed location, according to the Pentagon's Central Command. The youth, who reportedly gave his age as both 16 and 19, could be tried in U.S. court with "piracy under the law of nations," which fetches a mandatory sentence of life in prison; and conspiracy, kidnapping and destruction of U.S. vessels, which carry penalties from 10 years to life in prison.
Prosecutors could assert so-called universal jurisdiction over crimes committed outside U.S. boundaries, and even if he's 16, the youth could still be tried as an adult with a judge's approval. Officials wouldn't specify if or when he might be brought to the U.S. or whether they'll seek the most serious of charges.
Many agree that piracy has to be fought on land — deploying hulking warships to ward off the pirates' speedboats is a little like trying to kill a mosquito with a bazooka — but analysts questioned the wisdom of pouring more money into a Somali government that doesn't control much territory and has been unable to train or equip its own security force.
The current stab at a government is backed by the United Nations and claims a 10,000-man security force. But in the face of a raging Islamist-led insurgency in the south — which isn't connected to the northern-based pirates — the Somali army has been dogged by low morale, low pay and desertions.
So analysts are skeptical about Sharmarke's proposal to carve out a 3,000-strong "rapid response" anti-piracy force from that ragtag army.
"You have a conglomeration of various people with arms who have been brought together. There isn't a functional government force," said Rashid Abdi, a Somalia expert with the International Crisis Group research agency.
"So any talk of a Somali security solution to this . . . is premature."
The skepticism reflects the lack of good options to stop Somali piracy, which has surged in recent weeks with attempted hijackings on more than two dozen vessels in April, according to U.S. military officials. Navies from more than a dozen countries — including the U.S., France and Germany — have deployed in the Indian Ocean and launched increasingly aggressive actions as pirates seize more vessels.
The Liberty Sun, an American cargo vessel carrying food aid for African nations, reached Mombasa early Thursday after surviving a rocket attack by pirates. Hours before that attack, French forces captured 11 pirates in a raid on a suspected pirate "mother ship" 500 miles off the coast of Somalia.
Some pirate groups have attacked ships that belong to their countrymen. Hussein Mohamed Ali, a businessman who ships cargo between Dubai and the Somali capital of Mogadishu, has had shipments hijacked and was once forced to pay a ransom.
"The Somali pirates are gangs, and they deserve to be killed," Ali said.
In Mogadishu, FM radio stations have begun airing anti-piracy messages and some Muslim clerics are preaching that piracy is un-Islamic.
In Puntland, the semi-autonomous northern region of Somalia where the pirates operate bases, powerful clan elders oppose the pirate groups. In the village of Lasqoray, where pirates are holding three seized ships for ransom, clan elder Garad Ali Farah said local residents would cooperate with Somali officials if asked to reveal information about the whereabouts of pirates.
"We have come to know that if we allow pirates to do whatever they want, Somalia will be seized by foreigners," Farah said.
Less clear is if Puntland authorities, some of whom are allied with the pirates, would cooperate, Abdi said. Puntland has grown increasingly estranged from the southern-based government since Abdullahi Yusuf, a longtime Puntland warlord-turned-politician, resigned as president in December.
Regional leaders are once again floating the idea of seceding, Abdi said. Without the backing of Puntland officials, a government anti-piracy force could face difficulties.
"To try to equip an army that isn't there, to operate in hostile terrain — it's not practical at the moment," he said. "The solution has to come from within Puntland itself."

EPA Provides Grants to Help New York City Residents
Monitor Air and Water Pollution in their Communities
Smart Phones will Track Air Pollution in The Bronx, Students Surveying Water Pollution in
New York Harbor are Some of the Projects
Contact: John Martin, (212) 637-3662, firstname.lastname@example.com
(New York, N.Y. – Sept. 27, 2012) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is providing nearly $125,000 in "citizen science" grants to five New York City community groups. These grants will be used to help these organizations collect information on air and water pollution in their communities and seek solutions to environmental and public health problems.
"People care deeply about clean air and clean water in their own communities," said EPA Regional Administrator Judith A. Enck. "This funding will help inform local residents about the environmental conditions in their own backyards."
Citizen science enlists the public in collecting a wide range of environmental data and is an important tool for expanding scientific knowledge and literacy.
The citizen science grant recipients are:
Bronx River Alliance
The Bronx River Alliance will use a $25,000 EPA grant to strengthen the organization's River Stewards Volunteer Monitoring Program. The grant will enable 70 adults, students and educators to use scientifically-valid procedures for monitoring water quality along the Bronx River at 5 locations and will enable citizen scientists to analyze data that have been collected over the past 5-10 years. By engaging the community and expanding the knowledge base of educators, the Bronx River Alliance will raise public awareness about how pollution affects the Bronx River.
Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation
The EPA has granted the Cypress Hills Local Development Corporation $25,000 to train local students as citizen scientists. Program participants will spend 24 weeks working with air quality sensors to monitor indoor air pollutants in Cypress Hills and East New York. The students will catalog and analyze the environmental air pollutant hazards that affect neighborhood homes and will share their findings with other community members.
El Puente de Williamsburg, Inc.
The EPA will provide a $25,000 grant to El Puente to train young people in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to collect water quality data. The data will be shared with the local community in public presentations, workshops, and print materials demonstrating the environmental and health impacts of the pollution identified.
New York Harbor Foundation
The New York Harbor Foundation has been granted $25,000 to educate New York City high school youth as volunteer citizen scientists to monitor air and water quality throughout New York Harbor. Data collected by the student scientists will be made available online and participants in this program will inform the public about their work and the importance of environmental monitoring at a series of outreach events.
Sustainable South Bronx
Sustainable South Bronx will use a $24,000 EPA grant to engage South Bronx high school students and local residents in monitoring air quality in their community via "AirCasting," a smart phone technology. AirCasting sessions enable citizen scientists to capture real-time air quality information such as carbon monoxide levels, annotate the data with personal observations, and share the information with a wider community via a "wiki" map.

JLL SSA recently hosted a breakfast for SA's top Industrial Property Landlords at our offices in Rosebank, Johannesburg, South Africa. One of the key topics was how logistics and warehousing have been affected by the current recession.
The release of the Q1 2017 GDP figures confirmed something that most had been feeling for some time – the economy sits in an official recession, confirmed by two consecutive quarters of GDP contraction. Whilst political instability and exogenous factors have contributed to weaker economic sentiments and subdued growth, fundamentally what we are seeing now is the gradual deterioration of household balance sheets. In Q1 household debt to disposable income contracted by 1.6% as higher inflation and the lagged impact of the interest rate upswing took its toll on already over-indebted consumers. The GDP contraction in the Financial Services Sector and the Trade Sector, both notably driven by household credit consumption, is exemplary of the pull-back on spending by consumers and the impact it can have on the economy. Major retailers have seen this first hand, reporting declining operating profits. Worst of all has been the closure of Stutterfords a major importer of international brand that became unaffordable to consumers as the rand weakened.
With this as a backdrop, one might have anticipated weak demand in the logistics and warehousing sector as key retail clients hold back on stocking and in line with lower consumer confidence. However, flexibility and agility in the retail market has seen freight activity for food and beverages increasing by 28.0% y/y in Q1 2017. With the entry of new retailers, the clothing and textiles sector saw a 42.0% increase in freight activity. Conscious of the price sensitivity of consumers, retailers are finding ways to retain consumer activity which is contributing to stable demand for logistics and warehousing accommodation. The competition is tightening and while consumption has slowed, households still require basic needs such as clothing, food, toiletries and pharmaceutical goods.
In conclusion, the sector maintains low vacancy rates, at about 5% nationally for prime accommodation, and it could tip into a shortage if economy recovers a little bit quicker than one might have anticipated.

A 310-mile wide, 620-mile long dust storm swept over Sydney early yesterday morning along with gale-force winds and hailstorms. The eerie red powder virtually shut down ground and air transportation and kept most people indoors.
The worst dust storm in Sydney in 70 years, scientists suggest that, as Australia's deserts expand and extreme weather becomes more common as a result of global warming, the odds of such an event reoccurring more frequently have increased. Lookout for the video in the gallery below and tell us this isn't reminiscent of the ruined city scene in "Mad Max: Beyond The Thunderdome."

Kings, fans celebrate second Cup in three seasonsby Curtis Zupke
LOS ANGELES -- Jonathan Quick looked like he hadn't slept since Friday night. Jeff Carter, Drew Doughty and Trevor Lewis still had their beards. Coach Darryl Sutter's face was slightly drained, and he could only joke when asked about how much the Los Angeles Kings love playing together.
"They don't love it that much because they could have been playing tonight," Sutter responded.
Monday would have been Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Kings and New York Rangers, but instead the city celebrated the Kings' second Cup title in three seasons with a parade and rally. The longest run in playoff history (26 games) ended Friday in Game 5 with the longest game in Kings history, a 3-2 win on Alec Martinez's goal with 14:43 into the second overtime.
"It was an emotional, exhausting ride," Conn Smythe Trophy winner Justin Williams said. "For us to come out on top after you poured everything that you had into it, and it was good enough, words can't describe it."
More than 300,000 fans lined the streets surrounding Staples Center on a bright, mild day downtown, two years to the day of the parade to celebrate the 2012 Cup. This time there was a sense that something truly big is growing here. The Kings have the foundation for a modern-day dynasty, with most of their team intact for the future and their faces and blue-collar ethic now forever engrained in the local sports landscape.
"We're starting to become a hockey town," captain Dustin Brown said to the crowd before The Briggs' song "This Is L.A." blared throughout L.A. Live and confetti came raining down.
Luc Robitaille, president of business operations and the public face of the team, said he feels the Kings have further strengthened their bond with the city.
"The parade was very special last time, and I think today was even more special," Robitaille said. "It seemed bigger. When we turned that last corner, it was unbelievable. It was overwhelming. It's pretty special and it's pretty special for those players. A lot of guys come from back East, and they don't know how big they are in this town because L.A. is such a big city. You get into a thing like that and you see that many people, it's pretty amazing."
At the rally inside Staples Center following the parade, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said, "We have the best sunshine in the world, but we own the ice too."
The biggest cheers were for Sutter and general manager Dean Lombardi, who began laying the groundwork for the Cup runs when he arrived in Los Angeles in 2006.
The Kings took the path of most resistance each Cup-winning season. They barely made the playoffs in 2012, qualifying as the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference, and in 2014 became the first team in NHL history to win three Game 7s, all on the road, to get to the Stanley Cup Final. Los Angeles also became the fourth team in NHL history to erase a 3-0 series deficit and win, in the Western Conference First Round against the San Jose Sharks this spring.
Lombardi tried not to get emotional during his speech.
"This franchise has now evolved to a different level," he said. "I feel like the luckiest man in the world."
Lombardi has a few roster decisions to make this summer. Left wing Marian Gaborik, who finished the final year of a contract that paid him $7.5 million this season, can become an unrestricted free agent July 1, as can defensemen Willie Mitchell and Matt Greene. Gaborik had 22 points, including a League-leading 14 goals, in the playoffs. Left wing Dwight King can become a restricted free agent.
But the bulk of the team will return.
"We're happy with what we've done, but do we feel we have a lot more, and the potential to be a great team for years to come?" Williams said. "Yeah."
Sutter told his players that the path they took in 2012 -- taking a 3-0 lead in every series -- probably won't happen again. He allowed that this season's difficult road was special, but said winning is what he expected when Lombardi called him late in 2011 to offer him the coaching job.
"The team was in 12th place," Sutter said. "I was in the middle of winter, feeding 800 head of cattle, and my family was living four hours away, and I was being paid to do that. You don't say no because somebody offered you a job. I'm not in that position. I was in a position of whether I wanted to win or not, and whether I thought we could. It's not that hard to figure out."
In 2012, the Kings had five days between winning the Cup and the parade. There were two days this time, so players had not done as much touring with the Cup. Lewis tweeted a photo of the Cup at the beach, and more celebratory adventures should follow in the South Bay community where a lot of Kings live. They will take the Cup to Dodger Stadium on Tuesday for a pregame ceremony before the Los Angeles Dodgers host the Colorado Rockies.
By then, the Kings might be coming out of their celebratory haze.
"Party a bit. Relax a little bit," Quick said of his past two days. "You get to eat some greasy food. You're not worried about your diet for a few days, which is fun. It's good. It's a good experience."
Greene said he will probably take the Cup back home to Michigan again this summer. Figuratively speaking, though, the Cup might not be leaving Southern California anytime soon.
"You see this baby, right here?" Sutter said as he tapped the trophy. "She's been gone for a couple of years, and we're happy she's home."

UnNews:Russia plants flag at North Pole, launches real estate boom
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
2 August 2007
MOSCOW, Russia (UnNews) -- An international diplomatic storm has erupted in the wake of Russia's claim to the sea bed under the Arctic. Although the area is generally considered to be unfit for human habitation, being buried underneath millions of tons of ice and thousands of feet of sea water, Russia is determined to claim this property as her own. "After spending decades in the Siberian salt mines and the Gulag archipelago, our people are quite used to the icy cold conditions," a spokesman for the Russian Ballet, later identified as Vlad "Horse" Balyasnikov, said. "And the mopping up operations will take care of any residual sea water using the traditional methods."
As a preliminary step, an expedition aimed at strengthening this claim of Russia's to much of the real estate wealth beneath the Arctic Ocean reached the North Pole on Wednesday, and preparations immediately began for two mini-submarines to drop a capsule containing a Russian flag to the sea floor.
"We feel that his is a perfect first step in establishing our claim. This is how the British Empire was built, by planting the Union Jack all over the place. This is how the USA acquired the moon, the most desirable and expensive real estate in the Solar System, by planting their silly candy-striped flag there, although this is still disputed by some. And even when they planted it, they could not get it up, they had to resort to a pathetic little arrangement with a stick to make it fly. Of course this was before Viagra was invented." Balyasnikov told The Associated Press. "It's like putting the flag on the moon, except more soggy." he explained, emphasising the historical precedents once again.
Russian scientists hope to dive in two mini-submarines beneath the pole to a depth of more than 13,200 feet, and drop a metal capsule containing the Russian flag on the sea bed. Balyasnikov said the dive was expected to start Thursday morning and last for several hours, or until the crews suffocated.
The symbolic gesture, along with geologic data being gathered by expedition scientists, is intended to prop up Moscow's claims to more than 460,000 square miles of the Arctic shelf -- which by some estimates may be subdivided into some 15 million attractive "gentleman's estates".
About 100 scientists aboard the Akademik Fyodorov are also looking for evidence that the Lomonosov Ridge -- a 1,240-mile underwater mountain range that crosses the polar region -- is a geologic extension of Russia, and therefore can be claimed by it under an obscure U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The biggest challenge, scientists say, will be for the mini-sub crews to return to their original point of departure to avoid being trapped under a thick ice crust.
"They have all the necessary navigation equipment to ensure safety," Balyasnikov said. "This includes a sextant, a rusted but serviceable Swiss Army knife, and a tattered copy of the Morse Code. They also have a prayer book."
In a separate development, Denmark hopes to prove that the Lomonosov Ridge is an extension of the Danish territory of Greenland, not Russia. Canada, meanwhile, plans to spend $7 billion to deploy up to 8000 realty salesmen in a bid to help protect its sovereignty. "Possession is nine points of the law," explained the Minister of Land Affairs and Environment. "Once we build our log cabins and we have the famous Mounties in there, we won't budge."

IslandNomad needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 70 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
Creating a portal website for a suburban city. The logo needs to be hip, cool and can stand on its own for marketing purposes. Website name is SuburbanSnitch.com
Suburban Snitch
Desired Style:
Hip, cool - easily recognized.
Accepted File Formats:
Vector for both Web and Print - Jpg for contest is ok
This site will have the inside scoop on restaurant reviews, local happenings, events, news, etc. Everything that pertains to the local surroundings(CitySearch meets the suburbs). The current thought for marketing is to have the logo plastered all over town. We have not decided if the website name has to be in the logo. We are not set on color scheme either, so please be creative! It has to be a cool looking logo that people will recognize. Eventually the thought is to have the logo on plastic cups at bars, napkins at restaurants, stickers, etc.
My current thought is that the logo should be iconic, not necessarily the name. I like the RedHat logo to give you an idea, but am open to your creations.
I am ALWAYS available for discussion on this. Thank you in advance!

Obvious Snooki Nude Pics Are Obviously Snooki, Snooki's Rep Confirms
A few days ago, nude photos of Snooki surfaced to little fanfare.
Sorry, but baring it all in front of a full-length mirror isn't big news when you're already grossly overexposed. Not to mention the fact that the number of people surprised by Snooki having nuds pics — and the number of people interested in seeing them — are considerably smaller than Jersey Shore's viewing audience.
But today Snooki's rep released a statement that's mostly notable for its inanity.
"Clearly these are old and personal photos that were not meant for the public," she told Us Weekly. Yes, clearly.
She went on to say, "It's a shame someone decided to leak them for obvious personal gain." You know, as opposed to all those people who leak nude photos out of the goodness of their hearts.
Look, I understand that there's protocol for responding to this sort of thing, but come on. A more straightforward answer to Us Weekly's question of, "Are these naked pics actually Snooki?" would have been a simple "yep," or even just a smile and nod.
Then again, being Snooki's rep can't be easy. Think about how much time she must devote just to correcting people who call her client "Snooki" as opposed to "Nicole Polizzi." Incidentally, oops.

Hi,Just a quick post to say that the weight is definitely Jay Glass.I have not seen one of these designs for a long time.It is one of the first designs that I did for John deacons.The lampwork was made in my own house using an old portable brazing torch and a gas cooker grill as a hotplate.Hence the rather "chunky" lampwork,especially noticable at the tips of the petals.this was because the flame from the little butane torch was so wide I could not get a lot of detail into the lampwork.It is good to see the weight again,brings back memories.Allan

Romans 12:1-2 The Voice (VOICE)
12 Brothers and sisters, in light of all I have shared with you about God's mercies, I urge you to offer your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice to God, a sacred offering that brings Him pleasure; this is your reasonable, essential worship. 2 Do not allow this world to mold you in its own image. Instead, be transformed from the inside out by renewing your mind. As a result, you will be able to discern what God wills and whatever God finds good, pleasing, and complete.

Fenton Treatment of PCB-contaminated Surfaces
Cajal Marinosa, Paula
Permanent address of the item is
Summary ViewShow full item record
PCBs are man-made organic compounds classified as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). They are characterised by their high applicability as cooling liquid, softener, surfactant, flame retardant, lubricator or dispergent. Such applicability leaded to a production of more than one million tones since the 1930s. They were mainly used in closed systems as dielectric fluids in transformers and capacitors, but also highly used in open applications as plasticizers in building materials. From this usage, release of PCB from the falling plaster of buildings, the flaking paint or the volatilisation of lower chlorinated congeners has been happening since the begins of 1980s, when the use of PCBs was banned. This project has focused on the degradation of PCBs directly over the surfaces in means of the advanced oxidation process known as Fenton. This technique is based on the capability of H2O2 for creating hydroxyl radicals when catalyzed with iron. The final aim is to treat real surfaces in order to decrease the PCB concentration to acceptable level. Also might be suitable for treating contaminated surfaces affected by condensator fires or explosions. Two different surfaces have been used in order to simulate the real conditions. These surfaces have been glass and brick. They both have been artificially contaminated with a commercial mixture of PCBs known as Aroclor 1260, which was typically used in paints and sealants. The concentrations used are found among the real ones detected in several causes in Finland. Subsequently, the surfaces were treated with the Fenton reagents. Then, an extraction of the PCBs has been made in order to analyse them with GC-MS. The effects of the ratio of H2O2 and Aroclor 1260, the time of reaction, the way of adding the reagents and the degree of chlorination of the PCB congeners, are the main subjects involved in this study. Also two ways of extracting the PCBs from the surfaces, one with a solution of hexane/acetone and other with wiped cotton, have been compared. Results show a reduction around 70% in both surfaces, but lower weight ratio Fe2+/H2O2/Aroclor is needed in the glass (204:250:1) than in the brick surface (136:500:1). It seems that more than seven days are needed for maximal degradation. Degradation occurs in a higher grade on the low chlorinated congeners. Also it has been found that the extraction of PCBs with cotton wiped in alcohol does not seem to be very repeatable when compared with the extraction by hexane-acetone solution. /Kir11

MINNEAPOLIS — The Tampa Bay Rays didn't lose their edge during their recent slide. They're still strategizing with a World Series in mind.
Saving Chris Archer's right arm is one example, and he was so good on Friday night there was no concern of overexertion.
Archer spun six scoreless innings, and the Rays added to their slim wild-card lead by beating the Minnesota Twins 3-0.
"There was no moment that really showed up. He pretty much had his way," said manager Joe Maddon, who was more than satisfied with 87 pitches by the rookie. "I just want to really eye him up, because our intent is to play well into October, and I want to make sure that he's well."
The Rays hold the second wild-card spot with four teams still in striking range. They nudged their advantage to 1 1/2 games over Cleveland, due to a loss by New York that pushed the Yankees to two games back. Baltimore (2 1/2 games behind) and Kansas City (3 1/2) are lurking, too.
Archer (9-7) scattered three singles and struck out seven without a walk, following a pair of rough outings to start September.
In his 20th start, he lowered his ERA to 3.03. "I still feel mentally and physically there. But I have an understanding of the big picture and maybe saving a couple extra innings, just in case if we do make that magical playoff run," Archer said. Yunel Escobar had an RBI double among his three hits for the Rays, and Desmond Jennings and James Loney drove in runs with singles against Kevin Correia (9-12), whose defense behind him was less than ideal.
"We need to make the plays that should be made. We're not good enough to make up for that right now," Correia said. After losing 13 of 17 games, the Rays picked up an important victory on Thursday night over AL East-leading Boston on a tiebreaking eighth-inning double by rookie standout Wil Myers.
The Rays started their weekend reprieve against the floundering Twins before 11 straight games against wild-card competitors Texas, the Orioles and Yankees.
Tampa Bay has won 10 straight games against the Twins, including five this year. The Twins, who lost 15 of their last 18 home games, struck out 11 times.
"I know hitting's not easy. I've been there. But you have to defend the plate. You have to put the ball in play. You have no chance when you don't swing," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.
Correia, who leads the Twins in wins, starts, innings and strikeouts, left with no outs and two on in the seventh, and reliever Caleb Thielbar escaped with a popped-up bunt by Ben Zobrist that became a double play and a pickoff throw that caught David DeJesus stealing.
That was about the only sequence for the Rays that went wrong. Archer took advantage of the weakened Twins lineup, missing star Joe Mauer and a whole lot more, and never let a runner advance past second base. In the fifth inning, he hit Darin Mastroianni with a pitch to put two on with one out.
But Archer retired Clete Thomas and Eduardo Escobar on called third strikes, skipping off the mound and pumping his arm with a clenched fist on his way to the dugout. His changeup was extra sharp.
"I've had games where it's been decent, but tonight was the best it's been in my career," Archer said.
Jake McGee, Joel Peralta and Fernando Rodney each pitched a scoreless inning in relief, and Rodney recorded his 35th save in 43 tries with a perfect ninth. So Archer left the game in good hands, even if he felt he could've pitched longer.
"He's got a long career ahead of him, so at one point he's got to understand that and realize it's not a bad thing," catcher Jose Molina said.
NOTES: Mauer (concussion) felt good working out for the second straight day, and general manager Terry Ryan said the team will consider taking him on the road next week. ... RHP Jesse Crain, who has yet to pitch for the Rays since being acquired in a July trade with the White Sox because of a shoulder problem, might be ready for game action next week. ... LHP Matt Moore (15-3, 3.18 ERA) will try to extend his seven-game winning streak on Saturday for the Rays, against Twins rookie LHP Andrew Albers (2-2, 3.35 ERA). ... Zobrist became the Rays' leader in career walks, passing Carlos Pena on the franchise list.

ICRC's front-line footage receives Webby Award distinction
11-04-2012 News Release 12/76
Geneva (ICRC) – The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been selected as an official honouree by the 16th Annual Webby Awards for its short documentary depicting the dangerous conditions faced by doctors, nurses and ambulance workers operating on the front lines of Libya's recent armed conflict.
The footage was taken by an independent photojournalist, André Liohn, and produced by the ICRC as part of a worldwide campaign to end violence against health workers, facilities and patients.
"Every year, countless people in armed conflicts and other emergencies fall victim to the phenomenon of violence against health care and the resulting inability to find or deliver proper treatment," said Jean Milligan, the head of the ICRC's production unit. "André's work shows this problem in stark detail... You see doctors in the midst of a firefight, dragging a patient into a warehouse and through a hole in the wall to get him to safety. It's the kind of scene you'd expect to find in an action film. Except that it's real, and what you're seeing is a matter of life and death."
The Webby Awards have been described as the leading international prize honouring excellence on the Internet. "Of the over 8,000 entries submitted… fewer than 15% were distinguished as an Official Honoree," said the Awards' website. "This honor signifies an outstanding caliber of work."
Mr Liohn said the "real recognition" belonged to the men and women in Libya, who put their own lives on the line to save others.
"The courage I witnessed was phenomenal. War often presents people with just a split second to decide to do the right thing… for a soldier to let an ambulance carrying the wounded through a military checkpoint or for a group of rebels to allow doctors to treat injured, enemy fighters," said Mr Liohn. "In the midst of tragedy and great suffering in Libya, I saw the power of humanity and the importance of letting health workers do their jobs safely."
For more information, please contact:
Anna Nelson, ICRC Geneva, tel: +41 22 730 2063 or +41 79 217 3264

A vasovagal reaction (also called vasovagal syncope) is sudden
dizziness or fainting that can be triggered by pain, fright, or trauma. You may sweat, feel lightheaded, nauseated, or tingly, and you may pass out if
the reaction continues.
A vasovagal reaction can happen without serious cause. But
vasovagal reactions may be caused by heart problems, epilepsy, or other
conditions that require treatment.
A vasovagal reaction can usually be relieved by lying down with your
legs elevated. But treatment is necessary if a medical condition is
causing the vasovagal reaction.

The tomatoes of summer are among us: the deep pink Brandywines and green shouldered Black Krims, the sunny orange Valencias and norm-defying Green Zebras! We stroll through farmers markets with an abundance of choice for flavor, size, sauce-ability. We savor each bite, nothing more than a little salt needed. But come winter? The heirlooms we cherish are absent from our favorite farmer's stall and we must ask ourselves: Do I dare try a supermarket tomato?
Barry Estabrook's Tomatoland could help you decide but it may mean going tomatoless through the darker months.
Estabrook delves into the the history of the multi-billion dollar, year-round tomato industry and explores the decline in taste of the ancient fruit as well as the increase in human trafficking to work in pesticide drenched fields. From green tomatoes bouncing off the asphalt (and frighteningly surviving) in front of him, to the brave work of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, to the optimistic future of better tasting supermarket tomatoes, Estabrook paints a picture of the industry through personal experience and in-depth interviews with those at the heart of the issues.
So savor those heirlooms while you can because once you know the true price of a Florida winter tomato, you'll most likely pass on the Caprese salad come January. That is until we win the battle for better tasting, more humanely grown and harvested, not so perfect blushing fruits. It's worth the fight!

SPARTANBURG, S.C., June 29 (UPI) -- Authorities in South Carolina said they arrested a man who was allegedly caught by a store clerk with his private parts in a money deposit bag.
The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office said a clerk at the Hot Spot store in Spartanburg told deputies the man, identified as Alan Ray Walker, 47, of Cowpens entered the store Sunday and headed for the restroom, the Spartanburg Herald-Journal reported Tuesday.
The clerk said she saw the man exit the store's office about 15 minutes later with his pants on the floor and his penis inside a plastic money deposit bag. She said the man left after an argument and handed the bag to another clerk on his way out.
The sheriff's office said a deputy found Walker in his truck and he was found to be in possession of a substance that tested positive for cocaine along with a glass pipe, a .25-caliber handgun and $4,200 cash.
Walker was arrested and charged with indecent exposure, grand larceny, possession with intent to distribute cocaine and unlawfully having a handgun. He was taken to the Spartanburg County jail in lieu of $20,000 bond.
