A $119 million demonstration coal plant in regional Victoria has been labelled a "distraction", as conservation groups vow to oppose it.
The state and federal governments have given Chinese giant Shanghai Electric $25 million towards developing the plant at Loy Yang A power station in Morwell.
Energy and Resources Minister Russell Northe said the plant would upgrade brown coal, generating fewer emissions and making potential export more likely.
"Victoria is home to one of the world's largest brown coal reserves and this joint investment will enable the development of new smarter, cleaner and sustainable uses for this important resource," Mr Northe said on Monday.
He said more than 100 jobs could be created during construction of the $119 million plant, and up to 40 jobs during the project's operation.
But Deputy Opposition Leader James Merlino said the plant was a distraction from Morwell's problems following the 45-day Hazelwood coal mine fire.
"There are roofs full of ash, there are children still sick, the community's still hurting," Mr Merlino said.
"This is a demonstration plant. Any benefit for the Latrobe Valley and the Victorian community is years away."
Friends of the Earth spokesman Shaun Murray said using public money to attempt to establish a brown coal export industry was "perverse".
"We will blockade coal trains if necessary to stop this dangerous and unnecessary industry from proceeding," Mr Murray said.
Wendy Farmer, President of Voices of the Valley, said public money should not go to an international company when people in Morwell were suffering from the effects of the blaze.
"It's quite bewildering that our state and federal governments think that funding these new projects is a higher priority – we feel betrayed and abandoned," Ms Farmer said.

Valentine's Day the Sugar-Free Way
Valentine's Day can present a special challenge for people with diabetes. Stores are stocked with elaborate displays of sweets, and celebrating the holiday tends to involve giving or receiving chocolate. All of this may make people with diabetes feel excluded, or worse, tempted to indulge in too many sweet treats. Fortunately, there are healthy ways to enjoy Valentine's Day if you have diabetes.
Remember the purpose of the holiday. Valentine's Day is about spending time with the people you love, and there are lots of ways to do that without involving chocolate or other foods high in sugar. So instead of thinking of Valentine's Day as a day you'll miss out on, think of it as a day you'll really be able to enjoy simply by focusing on its actual meaning.
Get the facts. When you crave something sweet, it is helpful to check out the nutrition information for each serving of the food item in question. Getting the facts about the food or dessert item may help you figure out how you can work a small portion of it into your food plan for the day without disrupting your blood glucose levels, or it may make you re-think having to adjust your whole routine for just one small item. Either way, it is important to weigh the benefits and drawbacks and always keep blood glucose in control, and always consult your dietitian.
Make smart substitutions. Want something sweet but don't want to disrupt your glucose readings? Find a healthy recipe that feels more indulgent than it really is. There are many options for enjoying healthy treats without consuming too many carbohydrates, but you have to do your homework. Check out Joslin's Recipe of the Week, or do some research on the Internet to find dietitian-approved recipes that are healthy, and low in fat and carbohydrates. Also, you may want to work with your registered dietitian to create some healthy dessert substitutions to keep on hand.
Find an alternative way to celebrate. Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about eating. Plan an alternative Valentine's Day celebration in advance that doesn't revolve around food, such as going to see a movie, doing something outdoors, or planning a day trip. By avoiding those situations where you feel left out or pressured to eat, you'll develop a new Valentine's Day tradition, and keep your blood glucose in control, too.
Don't forget kids. If your child has type 1 diabetes, it is important to be aware that his or her classroom can be hard to navigate on Valentine's Day. Touch base with your child's teacher ahead of time to find out if he or she will be allowing candy. If candy will be present in the classroom, be sure to discuss how to handle the situation with the school nurse and your child's teacher. Last, but certainly not least, talk to your child about what to do about candy in the classroom on Valentine's Day, and make sure he or she understands that a teacher will be there for help if needed.

Important Notice: 120V Model
The IQAir HealthPro Series features HyperHEPA filtration technology for
superior airborne particle removal. Every IQAir Purifier is individually tested
and certified to filter ultra-fine pollution particles down to 0.003 microns
in size with a guaranteed minimum efficiency of over 99.5%. This is 100 times
smaller than what is achieved with ordinary HEPA air filtration technology and 10
times smaller than a virus.
Scientific studies have proven that ultra-fine particles are the most
harmful to our health because they can be absorbed directly into our
blood stream
through the lungs. These ultra-fine particles are small enough to
penetrate the cell wall and cause significant cell damage. It is
estimated that
ultra-fine particles may subtract as much as10 years from a person's
life. A study by The American Heart Association shows that these
ultra-fine particles
can increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. IQAir air
purifiers are guaranteed to filter out these harmful particles down to
0.003 microns, giving
you the cleanest and freshest air possible in your home.
In addition to removing pollution particles, such as pollen, pet dander,
dust, mold spores, viruses, bacteria and other allergens, IQAir
Healthmate PLUS
models, with the included V-5 Cell Filter are highly effective in removing molecular air pollutants,
such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other gaseous chemicals
and unpleasant
IQAir individually tests and certifies each IQAir air purifier prior to shipping. Your IQAir HealthPro Plus will arrive with a hand-signed certificate of performance so that you know
the exact efficiency of your air cleaner (always 99.5% or better). That means
every HealthPro Plus has to be proven to filter out 99.5% of the pollutants
in the air.
Every IQAir room air purifier features six fan speeds and
allows you to program the system for automatic operation via a day/night
timer. The intelligent filter life monitor
precisely forecasts filter replacement based on actual usage. A
sleek remote control is also included to allow easy remote control operation of the
air purifier.
Our unique design places the fan motor between sound deadening filters.
The double-walled housing also further reduces sound transmission.
suspension pads isolate and reduce motor vibration from the air
cleaner housing. The surround air diffuser deflects sounds back into the
system, while
returning low turbulence, low velocity air to your room. The result
is an air purifier proven to be quiet enough for your bedroom. Many
customers find the
minimal "white noise" actually promotes better sleep, in addition to
providing allergen-free breathing all night long.

10GHz SDR Transceiver

Advantages of SRD
Design Flexibility
No longer constrained by the inflexibility of hardwired circuitry, a SDR receiver's functionality can be changed by a software upgrade only. A completely different application can be often implemented using an identical hardware platform, with the functionality defined by the software alone, thus affording a far greater flexibility to the designer than if working with hardware components alone.
As hardware parts are replaced with software code (for example, a diode and a capacitor in an AM demodulator would be replaced by a mathematical routine performed on the digitized signal), and software by itself cannot break down, SDR products are generally more reliable than conventional ones.
Consistency and Stability of Parameters
Parameters of hardware components are subject to temperature changes, manufacturing variations and aging, often resulting in performance differences between what should be identical products. However, software always performs the same. This is why SDR products exhibit a far better parameter predictability and performance consistency between units and reduced effects of aging.
Hardware products are hard and expensive to improve and upgrade, and this typically involves changing modules, boards, etc., often requiring for the product to be sent back to the factory. In contrast, SDR products are to a significant degree "future-proof" and can be improved by a simple software upgrade only, with minimum equipment downtime. New features and functions can be added easily. Improvements in software algorithms can also lead towards improved performance or application usability of existing hardware, extending the lifetime of the hardware.
Once the signal-processing or user-interface software has been developed and tested, it can be often re-used on other hardware platforms, to create new receivers or entire product families. This reduces the manufacturer's development time and cost.
The entire SDR can be often reconfigured, i.e. its functionality and interface completely altered to suit changing user requirements, by a software modification alone, without the need to replace the hardware platform.
Enhanced Functionality
With conventional technology, certain features would be normally very expensive or even unthinkable. SDR technology makes it possible to implement such features easily and at low cost, usually on a standard general-purpose computer platform.
Lower Cost
Due to a reduced number of hardware parts and software reuseability, an SDR is easier and cheaper to manufacture and maintain.
Transceiver design
Picture 1. Block diagram of the transceiver, including the TX/RX switching.
Implementation of the transceiver has begun by testing it's core, the phasing modulator/demodulator. The video below, shows the results.
Phasing modulator initial test
After successful testing of the phasing modulator/demodulator, the LNA was implemented. Implementing the LNA is fairly straight forward. The only thing that had to be done, was to make the whole LNA construction as small as possible. The purpose of the LNA is to be mounted in front of the dish, assumming a parabolic front-fed dish. It's physical size should be as small as possible to ensure minimal interference with the RF beam.
Picture 2. LNA view 1
To ensure minimum size, a 3D construction had to be made. Picture above and below show the whole construction. The DC block, the T-adapter and the heatsink are not present. This is just a prototype to show how the different parts of the LNA should be placed.
Picture 3. LNA view 2
Picture 4. LNA view 3
Picture 5. Complete LNA mounted on heatsink
Picture 6. Complete LNA mounted on heatsink
The two pictures above, show the complete LNA mounted on an aluminum piece that is used as a small heatsink. The two LNAs draw 15V at 350mA and the two relays draw 18V at 180mA. I used 24V relays but I found them to operate ok at 18V. Since they drew less current at 18V and since I was reaching the bias-T maximum current, I decided to drive them at 18V instead.

Can't decide who I want to win. Backing Uruguay over the whole Suarez thing, love Forlan to bits and want Germany to win the tournament. Underdogs, and IMO have been quite watchable too since their opening game.
On the other hand, Netherlands are a more naturally likable side, would love to see them play Germany in the final and the Dutch people are awesome in my experience.

Senate to Biden: We want Clinton
This is Joe Biden's reality after nearly four decades in the Senate, countless fundraisers for his party and endless ego-massaging of his colleagues: Not a single Democratic senator, including the two from his home state, is publicly urging him to run for president.
And this is Hillary Clinton's lot: A majority of current Democratic senators are calling on her to run in 2016, years before the election and months before she's expected to even make up her mind whether to seek the White House again. That despite the fact that her eight years in the Senate ended with more than a dozen colleagues spurning her presidential campaign in favor of a younger upstart senator from Illinois.
Story Continued Below
Such deep support for a potential candidate this early on, practically unheard of in presidential politics, reflects the deep hold Clinton has over her party and the sense among senators that there are no other viable options to keep the presidency in Democratic hands. But the fact that senators with whom he worked alongside for decades wouldn't at least stay on the sidelines so long before the election — as Biden is openly flirting with a run in 2016 — is also a personal and political repudiation of the vice president.
Under the traditional rules of politics, Biden could presumably count on at least some of his fellow Senate Democrats. He spent more than three decades as a Delaware senator, raising big bucks for his Senate colleagues, teaming up on legislation and yukking it up in countless private lunches and dinners.
( Also on POLITICO: Will Afghanistan collapse like Iraq?)
But those friendships only go so far.
Interviews with influential senators, Democratic leaders and senior aides show Clinton is the runaway choice of the 55-member Senate Democratic Caucus for 2016. Even the two Delaware senators hedged when asked whether they wanted Biden to run.
Another old friend of Biden, Sen. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, said in an interview that she recently reached out to the vice president to let him know she was backing Clinton.
"I think the vice president is terrific, but I think it's Hillary's time," Stabenow said.
Asked how Biden responded, Stabenow added: "He respects my decision."
( Also on POLITICO: Leadership races an audition for fall
The decision to jump behind Clinton so early is part cold political calculation, part private frustration that lawmakers have with President Barack Obama. Most Democratic senators believe Clinton is the party's best — perhaps only — hope of holding the White House. But Biden also seems to be saddled with a growing weariness in Senate Democratic circles with his boss.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), a close ally of the White House, said the prospect of Biden running in 2016 "of course" crossed his mind when he threw his support behind Clinton recently.
"I think the world of Joe Biden; he's done a great job as senator and vice president," said Durbin, who headlined a Chicago fundraiser earlier this month for the pro-Clinton super PAC, Ready for Hillary. "I think it's Hillary's moment."
Biden aides declined to comment. People close to the vice president say he isn't letting the Clinton bandwagon affect his time frame. But some concede that watching the parade of endorsements has stung at times.
( Also on POLITICO: Scalise's credentials questioned in whip race)
The early show of support for Clinton carries its own political risks. If she were to forgo a run, Biden — or other possible candidates like Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley or former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer — would be seen as the party's second or third choice in 2016. Moreover, Clinton has her own political baggage, from the scandals of her husband's administration to the Benghazi attacks on her watch as secretary of state.
Clinton's performance since 2008 — when many Democratic senators, ready for a new face, opted for Obama instead of her for president — has vastly improved her standing in the Senate. It helps, of course, that they think she can win.
"I think there's a strong view in our caucus that Hillary would be a very, very strong, formidable candidate and president," Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said when asked about Biden and Clinton. Schumer announced his support for Clinton in November.
Some Senate Democrats, such as Majority Leader Harry Reid — who said recently, "I love the Clintons" — have suggested an openness to seeing a Democratic primary in 2016. But it's unclear whether that would happen.

First day almost over. The first 2 sessions this morning were really analyzing records, and what we could find out about just one will. I had a few ideas, but the amount of information some members of the class discovered lets me know that I'm going to get a great amount of help just from class members. Of course Paula Stuart-Warren was great in leading the discussions and keeping us "on task". I took this class because I knew I needed to improve my research skills. And I already think I have. Can't wait for the rest of the week. And that was just the morning.
After lunch Josh Taylor came in and talked to us about compiled genealogies and what we can gain from them. Now I just need to find some that were written about one of my surnames. Unfortunately, I haven't found any yet, but I have great hope. Even if you don't have a genealogy written about your family, Josh gave so many different places to search; again things I had never thought of.
Then, last session today, was again by Paula. She gave us 100s of ideas for substitutes for vital records. Yes, it will take us more time if we can't find some direct evidence with specific facts, but information is out there. And we just have many more places to look.
One special part of today was at 4 pm. We had a genealogy problem from one of our class members. We spent time reading the statement and coming up with ideas to help him find this elusive ancestor. (And don't we all have them?) Anyway, gain the knowledge and ideas that the class members came up with were fantastic. Now I just hope that the problem I submitted can be used some night. Hope! Hope!
Today was a great example of why we shouldn't do genealogy alone.
In about an hour we'll have a special program. Pam Stone Eagleson will be speaking on "Telling the Tales: Writing Your Family Narrative." Then, I'll be off to my room to spend a little time on the computer trying to find out more information about Louise Post, husband of Philip Post, whose will we read and studied this morning.

NEW ORLEANS - The Baltimore Ravens overcame a loss of momentum during a third-quarter power outage and prevented San Francisco from completing the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history Sunday, holding on for a 34-31 victory at the Superdome. The 49ers, who trailed 28-6 early in the third quarter, drove to the Baltimore 5-yard line in the final two minutes, only to be turned away after quarterback Colin Kaepernick threw three straight incompletions with San Francisco trailing 34-29. The fourth-down play was controversial, with Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith tightly covering Michael Crabtree. Baltimore took an intentional safety with four seconds remaining, resulting in the final margin. Ten points remains the largest deficit ever overcome to win a Super Bowl. A power outage interrupted the game early in the third quarter, resulting in a 35-minute delay after the Ravens had taken a 22-point lead. The stoppage served to alter the complexion of the game. The 49ers responded with three touchdowns and a field goal on their next four possessions. But they could not quite catch Baltimore. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco completed 22 of 33 passes for 287 yards and three touchdowns, earning MVP honors. Kaepernick was 16 of 28 for 302 yards. The Ravens had taken a 21-6 halftime lead via Flacco's three touchdown passes - 13 yards to Anquan Boldin, 1 yard to Dennis Pitta and 56 yards to Jacoby Jones. Flacco completed 13 of 20 passes for 192 yards in the first half, extending his brilliant postseason play. Jones' touchdown came after he was wide open down the middle of the field. He caught a long pass, fell at the 6-yard line, then got up and weaved his way into the end zone. San Francisco was able to answer only with two David Akers field goals in the first half. Each drive stalled with a Paul Kruger sack of Kaepernick on third down. LaMichael James' fumble, forced by Corey Graham and recovered by Arthur Jones, ended a 49ers drive at the Baltimore 25-yard line. Kaepernick also threw an interception in the first half, but the Ravens were unable to convert the turnover into points. That's because kicker Justin Tucker was stopped on a fake field goal play by Darcel McBath, just short of the first-down marker on a fourth-and-9 play. Baltimore's momentum resumed as the second half began. Jones returned the kickoff an NFL-record-tying 108 yards for a touchdown on a play that officially took only 11 seconds from the time he caught the ball. After the power outage, San Francisco's offense came to life. Kaepernick threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree, cutting Baltimore's lead to 28-13. The 49ers then made it 28-20 after Ted Ginn Jr.'s 32-yard punt return to the Baltimore 20, followed by Frank Gore's 6-yard touchdown run. Tarell Brown's fumble recovery then led to another Akers field goal, making it 28-23. The Ravens increased the lead to 31-23 early in the fourth quarter, after reaching the 1-yard line. They settled for Tucker's 19-yard field goal. San Francisco then scored on a fourth consecutive possession as Kaepernick ran 15 yards for a touchdown. But his pass sailed incomplete on a two-point conversion attempt, under pressure from a blitzing Ed Reed, leaving the 49ers trailing 31-29. Baltimore added Tucker's 38-yard field goal with 4:19 remaining, extending the lead to 34-29.

Latest revision as of 11:04, 14 May 2015
A focus of this oral history project is to conduct oral histories with members of the government information community who have devoted much of their careers to the field in order to record their stories and fill a gap in primary source documents. Another focus is to gather and preserve information not necessarily being documented anywhere else and make it accessible using various formats including the World Wide Web. The hope is to provide a better understanding of the history of the field as well as gather information regarding the process and the progress of protecting free access to government produced information. There has been much discussion on the tangible legacy collection and oral histories with members of the government information community would help to complete the story.
Getting Involved
For the project we are looking for librarians, information specialists, and government information workers with vast life experience in the government information profession. Potential interviewees may be identified by recommendations from people in the profession and/or may self-select to participate. Interviews typically last between 1 to 3 hours, varying with the individual. It is our goal to continue to recruit both people to be interviewed and people to do the interviewing. Annual meetings and conferences where government information professionals come together are opportunities to gather additional oral histories.
Please think about those who have played a major role in the profession and in your life and help us to document the human aspect of 'documents to the people.' As the government information profession continues to transition from a paper to electronic era it is a good time to capture the voices of experiences from those who hold invaluable institutional memory.

1 cup ground oatmeal
1/2 cup dry lavender flowers, stripped of stalks
1/2 cup powdered milk (either whole or nonfat)
2 tsp. cornmeal
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl, massage into damp skin, and rinse with warm water. (Scrub will keep for six months.)
Recipe from "Do It Gorgeously" (June, 2010), by Sophie Uliano.
2/3 cup fresh pineapple chunks (room temperature)
1/4 cup cold-pressed olive oil
1/4 cup fresh, clean parsley, chopped
Pulse pineapple in a blender, then add oil until almost smooth. Add parsley, and blend carefully so mask doesn't liquefy. Apply to skin and leave on for 15 minutes, instructs Brenda Brock, recipe creator and founder and CEO of Farmaesthetics.
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. ground cloves
1 Tbsp. dried rose petals
2 tsp. grated orange zest
1 1/2 cups sesame oil
Combine ingredients in a large bowl, making sure that everything is well mixed. Use on damp skin twice a week, Uliano says, scrubbing with your hands or a washcloth in small, circular motions. The mix will last up to six months when stored in a cool, dark cupboard.
The best scrub may be no farther than your pantry. Honey is one of nature's best humectants, drawing water into the skin, while sugar buffs away dead cells so gently that it dissolves as it works. A touch of citrus offers an invigorating scent.
Blend the ingredients until well mixed, then store in a jar, says Janice Cox, author of "Natural Beauty at Home."
1. Add olive oil to honey.
2. Blend with sugar.
3. Mix in zest.

MMA Information Alert - Attorney General's Insurance Settlement: Do you qualify?
On Monday, February 1st, Massachusetts Motorcycle Association (MMA) Board Members met with representatives of the Massachusetts Attorney GeneralsÔÇÖ Office (AGO) Insurance & Financial Services Division to discuss their recent settlement announcement regarding overcharging of Motorcycle Insurance Policy holders.
The AGO initiated their investigation of certain Insurance Carriers over a year ago due to consumer complaints. The results of their investigation were announced to the MMA and the general public on January 14th and are published on each groups Web Sites. This initial announcement identified 3 Insurance Carriers who have entered into a settlement with the AGOÔÇÖs office. The 3 carriers are:
Safety Insurance Company (ÔÇ£SafetyÔÇØ)
Liberty Mutual Insurance Company (ÔÇ£LibertyÔÇØ)
* Quincy Mutual Fire Insurance Company (ÔÇ£QuincyÔÇØ)
This settlement totals $11.1 million dollars and the goal now is to identify and find all of the individuals who are due refunds. Refunds originate as far back as 2002 and AGO and MMA personnel are concerned that riders who are due refunds may have switched carriers over the years, may have moved, even moving out of state, and the challenge is how to find these people. The AGO has some information concerning your insurance refunds, but is looking to collect more information.
ÔÇ£The AGO has reached out to the motorcycling community, through the MMA, out of concern that the Insurance Companies might not be able to identify and locate all the ridersÔÇØ, explains MMA Chairman Dave Condon. The AGO contacted the MMA and is seeking the assistance of the MMA in assuring the correct information is made available as well with locating and contacting all the riders due refunds.
The MMA cautions its members that there is a lot of misinformation and conjecture being drawn from prior press releases distributed by other individuals which may slow down the process of obtaining your money. The MMA apologizes for the delay in disseminating this information, as others trying to be helpful have taken actions resulting in confusion and delay. Additional information will be provided as the Attorney GeneralÔÇÖs Office reaches agreement with other providers, and all riders are encouraged to contact the MMA directly for assistance in expediting your refund.
Alternatively, the AGO has worked directly with the Insurance Carriers to establish the following hotlines:
Liberty: +1 (800) 569-5411
Quincy: +1 (800) 899-1116
Safety: +1 (877) 951-6416
In order to qualify for a refund, you must be able to answer YES to all 3 of the following questions:
1. Did you purchase motorcycle insurance from either Safety, Liberty, or Quincy Insurance companies?
2. Did your motorcycle insurance policy contain the Collision or Comprehensive options?
3. Did you purchase this optional motorcycle insurance anytime during the years 2002 to the present?
If you answered YES to all 3 questions above, then you may be due a refund, with 6% interest, and are urged to send your contact information to the confidential e-mail address:
Alternatively, if youÔÇÖd prefer to deliver your contact information via the United State Postal Service, please send to:
ATTN: ÔÇ£MA AGO Insurance SettlementÔÇØ
PO Box 378
Brimfield, MA 01010
Your Contact Information, which will be shared with the Massachusetts Attorney GeneralsÔÇÖ Office (AGO) Insurance & Financial Services Division and the named Insurance Carrier, will otherwise remain confidential and should include your name, address (past and present), telephone number, and e-mail information. Please also include information regarding the year, make, model and VIN# of your insured motorcycle(s).
Please do NOT send any confidential information such as your DriversÔÇÖ License Number, Social Security Number, or other sensitive information as this is NOT necessary.
The MMA is expecting further announcements regarding this settlement which will likely identify other Insurance Carriers and additional details. The MMA will make this information available to its membership as soon as itÔÇÖs available.
For more information or to confidentially submit your information, please see http://www.massmotorcycle.org or email firstname.lastname@example.com

The latest crisis between Egypt and Algeria showed how many people whether in the Arab world or the rest of the world think about us and it is not positive :
We are liars , poor,pathetic, rude, loud , arrogant, pimps, whores ,dirty , ignorant ,thieves , illiterate who never had new kind of achievement in their miserable life and probably the world will be better place without us. We are a dictatorship with a media control , we are a country with high rate of sexual harassment , unemployment , poverty and illiteracy "despite the fact that it has declined to 26%" . We are the friends of America and Israel who did not win a single war ; we do not have a specific independence day now like other countries despite the fact our official independence is on the 22nd of February 1922 even if it were not complete independence but at least it was recorded in history that our 1919 revolution had inspired other countries to follow our path including the Indian independence movement in the 20th century. We are chauvinists and racists who make fun even from other Egyptians from Upper Egypt " You only have to hear our jokes about Upper Egypt and its people to see how we could be so mean with our own country people". We are the exporters of terrorists , pimps, crooks and hookers to the Arab world , we are also the country of Shaaban Abdel Rahim and Zaina after being the country of Abdel Halim Hafiz and Fatan Hamma.These are just from the few things I have read directly or indirectly online about us in the past four weeks.
There is not a week where you do not find a negative report about us in the international media tickling either our political dictatorship or our economic injustice or our falling part society. We have become a media sensation for sure for Western media , may be because we are open society than other societies in the region which usually more closed than us.
The above negative characteristics can be replaced with a whole blog not a whole post full of how great and noble we were , we are and will be. Yes we have some of these bad cons like being loud and sometimes rude but those who called the rest of these names should think again about themselves more and more. I will not say that Egyptians had done this and that for you because I believe it is our duty if we want to lead this region and I want my country to complete leading it , in fact according to those who really understand the region and forces of change in it the really change comes from the valley of the Nile not from any where else. Yes in the 20th century politically the Arab countries copied our totalitarian regimes through out the century but if you think about it you can't put all the blame on us or you can ; look to all those lovely things said about us above and you will know that this is the least we can be accused of.
It is beyond a game , the game was just the tip of the ice berg , the falling domino piece that showed how fragile our Arab-Arab relations have become now. Anyhow back to my Egyptian identity analysis this is how bad we are in the eyes of those who can't stomach us and also some of our friends and allies. " if we have any for real now" .
We have become ugly in the eyes of the world because of this current rotten regime that did not give shit to our image in the outside world nor inside and it is not about this game ; it is about everything ;it is about the ugly economic policies that forced the Egyptians to sell them, it is about our ugly traffic , it is about our ugly trash everywhere , it is about the ugly treatment of humans before animals ..it is about ugly regime with ugly policies and ugly future plans. The regime does not care about us nor our image inside the country , it is a regular thing expected from a suppressive regime that only cares for its control. The regime made us cheap , made us feel cheap in our home and so we are cheap in the eyes of the world ; do not give a damn for them they are cheap people whom you can insult as you want ; they do not understand nor comprehend they will just scream till their voice gone.
We are also very patient , too damn patient to the level of building a pyramid in 20 years but as the Old Arabs said : Beware the patient's anger and I will say beware the ugly Egyptian's real anger !!

Police: Battery suspect smashes own head in cruiser
Police in Palm Bay say a woman accused of battering her grandmother became hysterical on the way to the Brevard County Jail last week.
Emily King is accused of hurting the 70-year-old woman over drugs. Investigators say she shoved the woman to the ground because she would not let her take anymore prescription medications.
The victim did not want to press charges, but investigators charged King with the battery of an elderly person.
King was placed into custody and was being transported to jail when investigators say she again became violent – this time, toward herself.
An officer says King reared her head back and smashed into the vehicle. She apparently continued thrashing back and forth until a backup officer arrived at the scene.
According to officers, King continued the tirade by shouting obscenities at the officers. With her face bloodied, King allegedly thrashed once more and knocked herself unconscious.
The officers woke King and an emergency crew transported her to Palm Bay Community Hospital.

The rainy season runs from the end of April to early November. Showers and heavy downpours typically occur in the afternoon, though at times it also rains for days on end. Occasionally the streets will flood. Follow the local tradition and carry a fold-up umbrella during the wet season.
In an effort to retain a certain number of visitors despite the cloudy skies, tourism promoters call this time the "green season." It's an appropriate name: During the rainy season, the countryside is lush, and rivers and waterfalls are at their best. Many hotels lower their rates during this season.
The best time to visit San Jose is in early December. Everything is still green, and tourism businesses have just geared up for the high season.

Of in place of interest indicates that interest is a property that pertains to the place. Similar constructions abound: a man of mystery, a tale of intrigue, a man of parts, a soldier of fortune.
In certain contexts a place famous for scenery or a famous historical site may be equivalent in meaning to place of interest, but place of interest is a much more general term. A place may be of interest for its culinary scene, its language, its current performing arts, and any number of other things.

Kerry Washington has added another little warrior to her brood.
E! News has exclusively learned that the "Scandal" star and hubby Nnamdi Asomugha have welcomed their second child together. The actress gave birth to a baby boy, Caleb Kelechi Asomugha, on Oct. 5. Other details were not immediately available.
E! News confirmed Washington's second pregnancy in May, after her baby bump was on display while attending the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in Washington, D.C. Kerry and Nnamdi's happy news came as the proud parents continue to raise daughter Isabelle away from the public eye.
The Hollywood couple are known to keep their personal life very private, but the celebrity couldn't help but talk at least a little bit about how amazing motherhood has been.
"I will say I feel really, really blessed," Kerry gushed to the Los Angeles Times in one of her first interviews after welcoming her first child. "I just feel really blessed that I'm kind of living extraordinary dreams come true in my work life and in my personal life."
Along with the excitement of Washington's second pregnancy, speculation began to stir as to whether or not writers will be including her baby bump into Olivia Pope's story line for season six. However, when E! recently caught up with the star, that didn't seem to be the plan.
"As far as I know, we're going to be hiding things," she told E! News at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Golf Classic in June. "But stay tuned!"
Congratulations to the happy family.

Tavi Gevinson's interest in the artistry of fashion inspired her to start her blog, Style Rookie, when she was in middle school. Drawn to unusual color combinations, proportions, and textures, Gevinson sought to create narratives with her outfits -- which caught flack at school, even as fashion magazines praised her sense of style.
Most recently, Gevinson's founded and serves as Editor-in-Chief of the online magazine Rookie, a beautifully curated website for teen girls featuring content spanning myriad topics, including feminism, fashion, and how to build the very best forts. Gevinson recently collected some of Rookie's first year of content into a book called Rookie Yearbook One.
Gevinson joins us to discuss what sparked her foray into the fashion world, people's tendency to fixate on her age, and the qualities that make people worth writing about.

We may have only known Retta as a neurosurgeon, given her pre-med track in college. But after a few years of working in the pharmaceutical industry post-grad, her casual TV-watching led to a spark of realization -- acting could be a viable path, too. Her newfound dream of working in entertainment led to a stand up act, and eventually the role of Donna on NBC's Parks and Recreation.
Retta talks about her start in show business, her fear of being typecast, and the evolution of her character on Parks and Rec, Donna Meagle. You can catch Parks and Recreation Thursday nights on NBC.

But are you sure the Burger King Kids Club member who was black was the one who was in the wheelchair and ALSO liked to do science?
The photos I can find on Google show (the 90s version I'm familiar with) both the science guy and "Wheels" as being separate characters from the black guy. Perhaps there was an earlier incarnation of the group?
The 90s version still obviously suffered from check box syndrome, but they had so few ideas, that check boxes had to be shared among the 8 characters.

When 34-year-old Katie Miller decided to re-enter the workforce, she knew exactly what she was looking for in a job.
"I didn't want a desk job where I had to wear pantyhose," Miller said. "I wanted to be active, work outside at least part of the time, be well paid and build things."
Because Miller had enjoyed remodeling her home with her husband and three children, she decided to look into the electrical trade. Miller was not the least bit intimidated by venturing into a predominantly male-oriented industry. In fact, her greatest challenge isn't the fact that she is the only woman on an all-male job site; it's her height. Standing 5'4" tall, which she says is "average for an American woman but short for an American electrician," Miller often finds herself up and down a ladder to get the same amount of work done as her male counterparts. Her height is also an advantage, however, because she can squeeze into crawlspaces and tight spots.
As a second-year electrical apprentice for Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC) member, Bear Electric Inc., Miller (pictured at right) admits that she doesn't have a lot of extra time for anything beyond work, school and her family. "The electrical apprenticeship program is a pretty intense four years. But I know the time I spend learning now will payoff in the long run," she said.
Miller doesn't think there is anything special about who she is or what she does for a living: "I'm just a normal American woman with a family and a desire for a satisfying job and a good paycheck," she said. "Electrical work is an excellent trade. I hope that other women will look at me and think, 'I can do that, too.'"
Miller and millions of other women just like her might be the answer that the electrical contracting industry is desperately seeking, said IEC President Gary Baumgartner.
"We've all seen the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers," he said. "The annual growth rate for men entering the workforce between now and 2010 is a measly 0.9% while the growth rate for women is projected at 1.4%. Perhaps the answer to the workforce shortage is marketing the industry to a new group of people — women."
Electrical contracting is ideal for women who don't want to be tied to a desk but do want to get a little exercise, says Baumgartner, who is also president of Baumgartner Electric, Sioux Falls, S.D. "Not all little girls grow up dreaming to be prima ballerinas, nurses and teachers. Sometimes, they grow up wanting to be policemen, firemen and electrical contractors," he said. "Many little girls want to grow up and wear a utility belt 'just like dad.' Other times, they remodel their homes and decide they would like doing electrical work for a living."
Whatever the reason, Baumgartner said that women want the same challenges, experiences and opportunities as their male counterparts. "It's time for the electrical industry to step up to the plate and give them exactly what they are looking for — a satisfying job and a good paycheck," he said.
Tracey Cook is the communications manager and editor of IEC INSiGHTS magazine, published by the Independent Electrical Contractors Association, Alexandria, Va.

Syfy (/ˈsaɪfaɪ/, formerly Sci-Fi Channel and SF) is an American basic cable and satellite television channel that is owned by the NBCUniversal Cable division of NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast.[1] The channel features science fiction, drama, supernatural, fantasy, reality, paranormal, wrestling, and horror programming.
As of August 2013, approximately 97,447,000 American households (85.33% of households with television) receive Syfy.[2]

In 1989, Boca Raton, Florida, communications attorney Mitchell Rubenstein and his wife Laurie Silvers devised the concept for the Sci-Fi Channel, and planned to have it begin broadcasting in December 1990,[3] but lacked the resources to launch it.[4] In March 1992, the concept was picked up by USA Networks, then a joint venture between Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios.[5][6] The channel was seen as a natural fit with classic films and television series that both studios had in their vaults, including Universal's Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Rod Serling TV series Night Gallery, and Paramount's Star Trek, whose creator Gene Roddenberry and author Isaac Asimov were among those on the advisory board;[7] when the channel was launched on September 24, 1992, Rubenstein recalled, "The first thing that was on the screen was 'Dedicated to the memories of Isaac Asimov and Gene Roddenberry'.[8] Leonard Nimoy was master of ceremonies at the channel's launch party, held at the Hayden Planetarium in Manhattan; Asimov's widow Janet, and Roddenberry's widow Majel Barrett, were in attendance.[8] The first program shown on the network was the film Star Wars.
In 1994, Paramount was sold to Viacom, followed by Seagram's purchase of a controlling stake in MCA (of which Universal was a subsidiary) from Matsushita the next year.[9] In 1997, Viacom sold its stake in USA Networks to Universal, who spun off all its television assets to Barry Diller the next year. Three years later, Diller would sell these assets back to Universal, by then a subsidiary of Vivendi SA (at the time known as Vivendi Universal). Vivendi's film and television production, and cable television assets were then merged with General Electric's NBC to form NBC Universal in 2004.
A high definition version of the channel launched on October 3, 2007 on DirecTV.[10] In 2013, Syfy was awarded the James Randi Educational Foundation's Pigasus Award.[11]
Branding history
For most of its history, the network's logos mostly consisted of a planet with a ring. The first depicted a ringed planet with the words "SCI-FI CHANNEL" embedded. The second, introduced in March 1999, dropped the hyphen and "Channel" from the name.[12] The third, designed by Lambie-Nairn, debuted on December 2, 2002, with the launch of the Steven Spielberg miniseries Taken. The network also launched a new image campaign with the tagline "If," which expresses the limitless possibilities of the imagination. Identification bumps depicted surreal situations (such as a baby breathing fire, or a woman in a stately sitting room kissing a bug-eyed, big-eared animal).[13][14]
On March 16, 2009, the channel announced it was changing its name to "Syfy," to end confusion over how to capitalize and stylize its name and as part of an ongoing rebranding effort. Network officials also noted that, unlike the generic term "sci fi", which represents the entire genre, the term "Syfy" as a sensational spelling can be protected by trademark and therefore would be easier to market on other goods or services without fear of confusion with other companies' products. The only significant previous use of the term "Syfy" in relation to science fiction was by the website SyFy Portal, which became Airlock Alpha after selling the brand to NBC Universal (represented by a shell company) in February 2009 for $250,000.[15]
Reaction to the new name was largely negative at first, with people often pronouncing Syfy as "Siffy", "Skiffy", or "Si Fi" to make fun of the name change.[16][17] The parody news anchor Stephen Colbert made fun of the name change on The Colbert Report by giving the channel a "Tip of the Hat" for "spelling the name the way it's pronounced" and noting that "the tide is turning in my long fought battle against the insidious 'soft C'".[18] The new name took effect on July 7, 2009.[19] Syfy has since added reality shows and edged further from strictly science fiction, fantasy and horror programming.[20][21][22]
The rebranding efforts at NBC Universal's Sci Fi Channels worldwide resulted in most rebranding as "Syfy" or "Syfy Universal"; however, over one-third of the channels did not take on "Syfy" as any part of their names: channels in Japan and the Philippines rebranded to or were replaced by Universal Channel, while each of the channels in Poland, Romania, Serbia, and Slovenia would become Sci Fi Universal. In Australia, the Sci Fi channel was a joint venture not solely owned by NBC Universal; the channel was uniquely rebranded as "SF" until its closure, and was replaced by a NBC Universal solely-owned version of Syfy, branded as such, matching the standard international "Syfy" branding. "Syfy", in several languages, does not suggest imagination or science fiction so much as the syphilitic.[23]
Syfy's programming includes original made-for-cable movies, miniseries, and series. In the past, the channel concentrated on classic science fiction shows. However, under NBCUniversal ownership, the channel has altered its schedule in the past few years to expand its lineup of programs, and Syfy now airs shows including WWE's SmackDown, changing from the original niche programming to more general entertainment.[24]
The network had gained significant international attention for its successful original miniseries and subsequent four-season series Battlestar Galactica. In addition to many awards,[25] the United Nations invited the main cast to a retrospective and discussion.[26]
Coupled with Battlestar Galactica, Syfy gained national prominence in 2003 with the airing of Steven Spielberg Presents: Taken, which won the Emmy Award that year for best miniseries.[27] In 2006, it also began including several non-science-fiction programs in its lineup, such as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, ECW (changed to WWE NXT in 2010),[28] and WCG Ultimate Gamer.[29]
Syfy has aired anime programming off and on throughout its history. It first began airing English dubbed anime films and original video animations in the early 1990s, although the programs were often edited in order to fit the market pressures typically placed on basic cable. It was the first to show the Streamline Pictures English dubs of the films Robot Carnival, Lensman and Akira, as well as airing Central Park Media's Dominion: Tank Police, Gall Force, and Project A-ko. Eventually, the channel stopped airing anime, until June 11, 2007, when it began airing a weekly two-hour programming block called "Ani-Monday".[30] Intended to directly compete with Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, the block features English dubs of various anime series licensed by Manga Entertainment.[30] During February 2008, the channel also aired anime on Tuesday nights in a second programming block.[31] In July 2009, Syfy announced that they had renewed and expanded their licensing agreement with Manga Entertainment to continue the "Ani-Monday" block, as well as to add a similar two-hour block of horror anime, also called "Ani-Monday", to its sister channel Chiller.[32] Syfy's anime block was moved to Thursday nights starting March 14, 2011 where is remained until all anime programming was abruptly removed from the schedule on June 9, 2011.[33][34]
On April 13, 2010, WWE announced it had signed a multi-year agreement that would move SmackDown from MyNetworkTV to Syfy, starting on October 1, 2010. The WWE said the show would assist Syfy with targeting of young male and female audiences.[35]

Syfy original films
Spearheaded and originally launched by Thomas Vitale in 2001, and managed by Vitale, Chris Regina, and Ray Cannella, with the later additions of Karen O'Hara and Macy Lao, Sci Fi Pictures original films are typically independently-made B-movies with production budgets of $1 million to $2 million each. These films usually premiere on Saturday nights.[46] They are also one of the sponsors for the Coalition for Freedom of Information.[47] The movies have become one of the longest-lasting vestiges of Syfy's schedule. One of the most memorable campaigns for the movies presented these films as part of "The Most Dangerous Night of Television" (Saturdays). Over the years, Syfy's promotion of the movies leans into the escapist fun promised by them, with titles such as Sharktopus, Mansquito, Two-Headed Shark Attack, Ogre, Ice Twisters, Star Runners and Sharknado. Since 2001, Syfy has worked with a number of different production companies (most of them independent) to make over 200 original movies of this type.
The channel's website launched in 1995 under the name "The Dominion" at SciFi.com. It dropped the "The Dominion" name in 2000. It was one of the first large-scale, publicly available, well-advertised, and non-portal based websites. In addition to information on the channel's programming, it covers science fiction in general. The site has won a Webby Award and a Flash Forward Award. From 2000 to 2005, it published original science fiction short stories in a section called "Sci Fiction", edited by Ellen Datlow, who won a 2005 Hugo Award for her work there. The stories themselves won a World Fantasy Award; the first Theodore Sturgeon Award for online fiction (for Lucius Shepard's novella "Over Yonder"), and four of the Science Fiction Writers of America's Nebula Awards, including the first for original online fiction (for Linda Nagata's novella "Goddesses").[48]
On April 22, 2006, the site launched Sci Fi Pedia as a commercial wiki on topics including anime, comics, science fiction, fantasy, horror, fandom, games and toys, UFOs, genre-related art and audio, and the paranormal.[49] In 2009, Sci Fi Pedia was shut down without explanation.
As part of the channel's rebranding in 2009, the URL was changed to Syfy.com. As of 2010, Syfy.com began to contain webisode series including Riese: Kingdom Falling (as of October 26, 2010), The Mercury Men (as of July 25, 2011, and Nuclear Family[50] (as of October 15, 2012).
Science Fiction Weekly
Science Fiction Weekly was an online magazine started and edited by Craig Engler and Brooks Peck on August 15, 1995. In April 1996, it began appearing exclusively on "The Dominion" as part of a partnership with the site, before being sold to the Sci Fi Channel completely in 1999.[51] The publication covered various aspects of science fiction, including news, reviews, original art, and interviews, until it merged with Sci Fi Wire in January 2009. It was last edited by Scott Edelman.
Sci Fi Magazine
Sci Fi Magazine is the channel's official magazine. As of 2005, it is edited by Scott Edelman.
Blastr[52] (formerly Sci Fi Wire), an adjunct of the Syfy website, is the daily news wire edited by Scott Edelman. It covers news related to science fiction, fantasy and supernatural-themed entertainment, including films, television, games, books, fandom and rumors. Blastr is frequently cited as a source of breaking news by other websites and by publications as varied as the New York Post and TV Guide.
In 2008, Syfy, then the Sci Fi Channel, averaged a 1.0 household rating; 242,000 viewers among Adults 18–34 (up 4% vs 2007); 616,000 viewers among Adults 18–49 (up 5% vs 2007); 695,000 viewers among Adults 25–54 (up 6% vs 2007) and 1,278,000 total viewers (up 7% vs 2007). It saw two years of consecutive growth among female audiences, with a 12% increase among women 25–54, a 14% jump in women 18–49 and 6% in women 18–34. The channel also was ranked among the top ten watched channels for male viewers ages 18–54, and women ages 25–54 (#10).[53]
For 2010, Syfy averaged 1.199 million viewers, down 6% from 2009. In Adults 18–49 the channel averaged .539 million viewers, down 11% from 2009. For 2010 Syfy did not hold any of the Top 20 Primetime Original Series.[54]

Contact Centers are the Life Blood of Companies. Too often, companies don't see it as the business asset it is. This is compounded if you are not a Fortune 500 company who can afford large dedicated technical resources for the contact center, and who do not have a multi-year customer service strategy in place. As technology has evolved, contact centers have become valuable assets that drive business performance through their impact on your customers. Savvy executives recognize that effectively utilizing their contact center technology and human resources can mean the difference between being a market leader and just being one of the pack. In this paper, The Broadening of Contact Center Horizons, we'll look at how investing in the right contact center solution can help transform your enterprise and enhance your business outlook.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Zac Halbert threw a six-yard touchdown pass Rob Fields with 32 seconds left in regulation to send visiting Guilford College to a 34-27 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) football win at Catholic University of America Saturday.
The Quakers (2-7, 1-4 ODAC) rallied from a 20-6 second-quarter deficit to clinch their first league victory under rookie head coach Chris Rusiewicz. Guilford outscored Catholic, 28-7, in the final three quarters and controlled the ball for over 40 minutes.
Halbert's winning toss came on third and five from the Cardinals' six-yard line and capped a well-executed 12-play, 66-yard drive that started from the Quakers' 34 line with 5:57 left. Halbert recovered a fumbled snap on fourth and inches from Guilford's 43 and snuck forward for a critical first down to extend the drive. Halbert completed a key first-down pass to Ben King despite double coverage on third down inside the Cardinals' 20-yard line.
Catholic took its ensuing possession down to Guilford's 36-yard line with 2.1 seconds left in regulation, but Guilford's Chris Jessup recorded his second sack of quarterback Greg Cordivari to end the game.
Halbert completed 25-of-36 passes for 274 yards and two touchdowns. King finished with 13 catches for 200 yards and a 20-yard touchdown pass that gave Guilford a 27-20 lead late in the third quarter. Halbert's passing and Aaron McNeely's running helped the Quakers control the ball for over 40 minutes. McNeely became Guilford's first 100-yard rusher of the year with 24 carries for 100 yards, both career highs. Teammate Josh Williams added 52 rushing yards and two short first-half touchdowns.
Guilford's defense forced three turnovers and yielded its fewest points since its season opener. Rookie safety Satiir Stevenson scored his second defensive touchdown of the year when he collected a deflected pass and returned it 55 yards for a score 1:55 before halftime. Alex Smith (7 tackles) tiptoed the sideline to make a third-quarter interception, which setup Halbert's scoring pass to King. Brad Gayhardt also had a sack among seven stops and recovered a fumble forced by Jessup.
Catholic quarterback Greg Cordivari completed 30-of-48 passes for 373 yards and three touchdowns, but was 11-for-20 for 110 yards in the second half. Wesley Stringfield made nine catches for 119 yards and a score. Andrew Ouellette caught seven passes for 105 yards and two touchdown passes. His 25-yard scoring catch 20 seconds into the second quarter opened a 20-6 Catholic advantage. James Fucilio had 14 tackles and teammate Conor Stueckler added 13 stops and an interception.
Guilford closes the 2011 campaign next Saturday (11/12) against visiting Emory & Henry College at 1:00 p.m.
