> Astronaut protection
> Benefits of bacteria during long space missions
Space travel affects the astronauts' immune system. Various factors play a part in this process, i.e. weightlessness, cosmic radiation, isolation and the inevitable stress. At the request of European, American and Russian space agencies, SCK•CEN tests the blood of astronauts when they return from a long space mission. We perform analyses using advanced biochemical and molecular techniques.
Long-term exposure cannot be avoided during long distance missions, e.g. to Mars – for which the return flight takes 18 months. Sensitivity to cosmic radiation varies considerably between people, and consequently also between astronauts. Chronic exposure can lead to adverse health effects and greatly increase, for example, the risk of developing cancer. It is important, therefore, to gather as much information as possible. Again SCK•CEN plays a significant role in this process.
We have already conducted experiments into skin sensitivity to cosmic radiation, in which human skin cells were placed in a low space orbit for 12 days. We also study the influence of weightlessness on human cells. Simulations have demonstrated that it can have a powerful effect on cell shape and development.
Arteries are also sensitive to space conditions; there is an increased risk of bleeding. SCK•CEN is participating in an experiment to study the impact of weightlessness on human arteries in more detail.
During long space missions, e.g. several years, it is impossible to take sufficient oxygen, food, drinking water and water for personal hygiene. Together with a number of partners, SCK•CEN is developing biological solutions to recycle waste (waste water, carbon dioxide and organic matter) into drinking water, oxygen and food.
Various bacteria are used in bio reactors to break down organic matter and convert it into other usable nutrients and minerals. The bacteria are analysed in great detail in our laboratories. We study their behaviour and metabolic functions under conditions of weightlessness and when exposed to high radiation doses.
To this end bacteria are not only sent on actual space flights. We also simulate space conditions in our laboratories by using various radiation sources and specialist propagation techniques. To protect astronauts and equipment from unwanted bacteria during space flights, we need to monitor which bacteria and moulds are present in space capsules. Various space agencies are employing our know-how for experiments and measurements.

The context of this post is about the changing times for a web developer, and I see a lot of web developers still lagging behind especially in the .NET world. If you haven't yet started mastering your art and adapting to the changing trends, you should start today.
Think about crafting your web applications properly. Use commonsense to mix and match based on scenarios. Here we go with 6 Tips to be a responsible web developer, and to stay on top of what you do.
1 – Learn to write better JavaScript and CSS
If you don't write proper JavaScript and CSS, you are dead.
- Learn the good parts about Javascript
- Venture into Advanced Javascript
Familiarize yourself with a higher level abstraction language to write JavaScript once you are comfortable with plain Javascript – Like CoffeeScript or TypeScript. Also, master the common Javascript libraries, including these essentials
- JQuery – Alright, you know this, don't you?
- Underscore .js – A pretty good Javascript utility library
- modernizr – HTML5/CSS feature detector
- history.js – History State/APIs
Oh yes, start learning TypeScript especially if you have a Microsoft technology/C# background.
On the CSS Side, familiarize with SASS and/or Less – Skim through the CSS 3 techniques, keep an eye on the CSS 3 features available in various browsers. Understand responsive concepts and start using media queries.
2 – Familiarize yourself with a Responsive Framework
These days, the usage of web is increasing more and more in mobile devices, so most websites are expected to work in different form factors by default. If you don't want to hand craft all those web pages using media queries, better familiarize yourself with few responsive frameworks.
Responsive web design (often abbreviated to RWD) is an approach to web design in which a site is crafted to provide an optimal viewing experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones)
My personal choices include Twitter Bootstrap and Zurb's Foundation. I've done quite a lot of work with Bootstrap, and I'm pretty impressed with the capabilities of foundation too.
Essential reads.
3 – Learn the most useful JavaScript MVC frameworks
Be a first class JavaScript developer. There is a jungle of Javascript MVC frameworks out there for client side development, but familiarize yourself with at least five (Yes, at least 5). I'll pick some of these to start with.
To compare and contrast them, have a look at TodoMVC – I found it pretty useful. It is
A project which offers the same Todo application implemented using MV* concepts in most of the popular JavaScript MV* frameworks of today.
4 – Understand REST and HTTP
Understand Restful services and master a server side technology to create one. For example, Node Js. If you are in the .NET world, start with Web APIs. More than that, understand proper REST. Understand Hypermedia. Go beyond the terms, and carve out some examples. Tie your REST services with one of the above MVC frameworks, and create something useful. Use proper HTTP codes for your services.
Essential reads
- WOA is here to stay
- Richardson Maturity Model – Article from Martin Fowler
- REST in Practice
- Hypermedia and Forms
The above reads should help, to start with. Also, keep an eye on implementations, like Meteor, SignalR etc that could leverage Web Sockets once they are ready.
5 – Understand HTML5 Beyond the Buzzword
HTML5 standard is not yet finalized and is still in progress, but already there is lot of adoption every where. Along with developing websites, there are lot of containers available (like PhoneGap etc) that'll allow you to package your HTML5 applications with a browser like container for mobile devices (hybrid applications), to distribute them much like you distribute native applications.
HTML5 is a markup language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web and a core technology of the Internet. It is the fifth revision of the HTML standard (created in 1990 and standardized as HTML4 as of 1997)[2] and, as of November 2012, is still under development. Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers, etc.).
There are lot of good articles about HTML5
- Step by step article from Nettuts with examples
- This article in Smashing Magazine is a pretty good starting point to understand more about the design philosophy and thought processes involved
- Top 25 HTML5 Features
Familiarize yourself with the most useful and exciting HTML5 Javascript APIs and features. Like Web Sockets, Application Cache, Canvas API, Vide/Audio features etc. Start using something like HTML5 boiler plate as the baseline. http://www.initializr.com/
Understand the HTML 5 features and value adds you can use.
- Here are few quick demos of various HTML5 feautures
- Use something like http://html5please.com/ or CanIUse, keep yourself updated about the HTML5 features you can use to improve use cases based on requirements
Also watch for the big players in the space who are leveraging HTML5 as a platform for building cross platform hybrid applications – not for web, but also for desktop and mobile.
6 – Optimize
Optimize what ever you do, optimize when you are ready.
- Bundle and minify your CSS and Javascript.
- Use some developer tools to inspect your page and check your JavaScript performance
- Inspect your network traffic when required and this will come in handy every time– Familiarize with tools like Fiddler
- Use tools like Screenfly to check your screen for multiple form factors
- Use simulators like Ripple for checking the behavior of your websites in Mobile devices
Alright, that was lot of tips. So, happy coding.

With UHD starting to get some traction at CES recently due to announcement of the UHD alliance, now is a good time to start talking those 10 bit panels. Rec 2020 defines both 10 and 12 bit color encoding, but my personal take is that 10 bit panels will be the sweet spot for a long time to come. It's not like 720p or 1080i, which were intermediate steps to 1080p. The dynamic range of film (and video) isn't going to deliver 12 bits of fidelity, so anything older remastered for UHD is going to be 10 bit pretty much by default. Also, the display capability sweet spot is at 10 bits. That kind of technology development happens much more slowly than more pixels or compute power.
That said, let's collect some reviews of good 10 bit panels! As far as I can tell at the time of writing, Apple isn't selling any 10 bit panels, which blows my mind. Dell has some; I'll get some links.

There is something to be said about very large brook trout. They are the stuff of legends, and none has gained so fair a reputation over the decades as what is commonly referred to as the coaster brook trout.
Although a coaster is indeed a brook trout, complete with all the flashy markings and sweet-tasting flesh, these remarkable fish live most of their lives in the very competitive environment of Lake Superior.
The nickname, coaster, came about because these fish spawn, as brook trout do, in rivers and streams, but then they go out into the big lake, where they live most of their lives roaming along the coastline of Lake Superior, foraging, hopefully avoiding piscivorous predators and growing large.

LPG subsidy directly in bank accounts from Oct 1
The government, official sources said, has decided to launch "Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) for LPG throughout the country tentatively from October 1".
"This (transfer of LPG subsidy) would require a much larger number of beneficiaries to be covered for opening of bank accounts and linked to Aadhaar and banks have been asked to get ready for the launch," said one official.
A consumer will have to get his or her bank account seeded with Aadhaar number for getting the LPG subsidy. The annual subsidy per consumer is estimated at Rs 4,000. The supply of subsidised LPG cylinder has been capped at 9 cylinders per year for a consumer.
While about 32 crore Aadhaar cards have been issued by UIDAI, only 80 lakh bank accounts have linked to the unique identity numbers so far.
Under a pilot project for LPG subsidy transfer, 20 districts in the country will be covered by May 15.
While the exact procedure to transfer the subsidy is being worked out, sources said subscribers will have to buy the LPG bottle at prevailing market price (currently Rs 901.50 per 14.2-kg cylinder in Delhi) and subsequently the subsidy amount will be transfered to the bank account.
The Finance Ministry has asked the public sector banks to speed up the process of linking accounts with Aadhaar.
The government expects that the DBT will eliminate all ghost LPG connections and diversion of cylinders.
Under the DBT scheme, subsidies and other benefits are transfered directly into the Aadhaar linked bank account of the beneficiary.
Meanwhile, Finance Minister P Chidambaram, Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Petroleum Minister Veerappa Moily and Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh would review the DBT scheme with state officials on Monday.

On Thursday, February 5th, Alain Sebban, President and Founder of Vatel Group and Karine Sebban Benzazon, his daughter, who has managed Vatel Nimes for the past 16 years, invited their guests to celebrate Vatel Nimes' anniversary. Vatel students, the object of this celebration, astonished guests by their myriad of talents. All praised and applauded the students' enthusiasm.
Students had been busy for weeks, preparing a show for their guests. Members of the local government and faculty members appreciated their talent as singers, dancers, actors and musicians, and all had tears in their eyes when hearing the song "Vatel change la vie" or "Vatel changes your life," sung on a well-known melody written by the French singer, Jean-Jacques Goldman in 1989, the year that Vatel Nimes opened its doors.
At the end of the evening, students placed a butterfly in their flag's national colors on the Campus Tree of Life. These same students, when they graduate, will be promoting and illustrating the city of Nimes throughout the entire world.
Deeply moved, Mr. Alain Sebban reminded attendees that State representatives, heads of universities and business schools, investors, professionals in hospitality and members of governing bodies from all over the world, come to Nimes to visit the School, to understand the bases of Vatel Group's success and comprehend the subtle alchemy that exists, linking theoretical courses to practical applications.
Back to the past: after having opened Schools in Paris and Lyon, in 1989 Alain Sebban opened the Vatel Nimes Campus, directly linked to an application hotel by a foot walk. And these 14,000 square meters truly do reflect a unique educational concept: a tried and tested mixture of academic theoretical courses, taught at school, followed by professional experience in each and every department of a four-star hotel.
From 1989 to date, the Group, which had three Schools in France, is now present on four continents and is currently preparing the launch of ten more Schools.
A few facts and figures for Vatel Nimes
- 1981: Vatel opens its first School in Paris
- 1989: The Vatel Nimes School as well as its application structures (a hotel, brasserie, restaurant and spa) open
- 1996: Nimes launches courses in English, for its international student body
- 1999: Karine Benzazon Sebban begins working as the School Director
- 2012: Anne Maud Aguilar, a Vatel Nimes alumnus, begins working as the Hotel Manager

Bay Area rain expected to pause, return Monday
(03-29) 19:20 PDT San Francisco -- Savor Sunday, which will be the Bay Area's last dry spell until midweek, especially after the region got soaked with up to 2 inches of rain in some spots in the North Bay on Saturday.
About three-quarters of an inch of rain fell in San Francisco, about a half-inch in Oakland and about two inches on top of Mount Tamalpais, according to the National Weather Service.
The heaviest rain ended before noon Saturday, but scattered showers lingered with temperatures reaching the mid-60s before dropping overnight.
No rain is expected Sunday, with temperatures remaining in the low 60s during the day.
"Sunday is the best day to do any sort of outdoor projects you might have," said Austin Cross, a meteorologist with National Weather Service.
Another, more powerful round of rain arrives Monday morning before the early commute, along with gusty winds. Forecasters expect another half-inch of rain to fall in San Francisco, three-quarters of an inch in the East Bay and 1-2 inches in the coastal hills. Temperatures will be slightly cooler, topping out at 60 degrees.
Thunderstorms - a rarity in the Bay Area - might land Tuesday.
That front is forecast to pass by Wednesday, Cross said.
So far, 10.3 inches of rain have fallen in San Francisco this season, roughly half of the normal level of 21 inches by this point. In Oakland, 7.79 inches have fallen, compared to an 18.45-inch normal level.
Steve Anderson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said 8 to 16 inches of snow were expected above the 7,000-foot elevation level in the Lake Tahoe region by Sunday morning, along with six to 12 inches at lake level. Chain requirements were in place Saturday night on Interstate 80 over Donner Summit and Highway 50.
Temperatures remained in the mid-30s Saturday at Lake Tahoe and at 33 degrees Saturday afternoon at Donner Summit, Tolby said.
The California Highway Patrol did not report any major accidents or fatalities through Saturday afternoon in connection with the weather.
The rain canceled the Giants-A's exhibition baseball game Saturday at the Coliseum in Oakland.

Elijah Wood is tiny.
Casey and Charile are joined once again by Brad Anderson, to take on the new thriller "Grand Piano" starring John Cusack and Elijah Wood.
Three new characters have been confirmed for the second season of A&E's "Bates Motel". It looks like Norma is going to get a new boyfriend, a new friend in town and a brother who shows up in town. Chances are they'll all be dead before the end of the season but for now let's just sit back and drink in all the love I feel flowing in this post. God that feels good inside you doesn't it?
Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, the guys who wrote the "Friday the 13th" remake have apparently gotten in bed with the folks at New Line for a new horror flick that they are apparently calling a "potential franchise starter". No other details are available but they've also said the film won't be found footage and won't be micro-budget. They didn't say it won't be awful though. So ya know, that's still on the table.
Elijah Wood is producing a horror-comedy film called "Cooties". Rainn Wilson, Alison Pill, Jack MacBrayer, Jorge Garcia and Nasim Pedrad have all been added to the movie about a group of rabid kids who terrorize their teachers. I assume all of these people will be teachers, or this will be the worst "teen" casting since "Scream 4".
Paul Reiser, the poor man's Richard Lewis, has been added to the cast of "Life After Beth". John C. Reilly and Aubrey Plaza are also in the film about a man who tries to reconnect with his girlfriend after she comes back from the dead. No joke here. Paul Reiser is awful at everything he does and must be stopped. If you say "Mad About You" was great I will slap the taste out of your mouth. If you say you don't know what "Mad About You" is I will slap the taste out of your mouth.
So... short people are creepy, amiright?
Details and a short except from Joe Hill's upcoming book titled "NOS4A2". The book tells the tale of teenager who thinks he's discovered the hangout of a man with a car that runs on human souls. Hill's other book "Horns" is currently being adapted for the big screen with Daniel Radcliffe playing the lead. The title took me 5 minutes to figure out.
The good folks over at Benderspink have picked up the script for "Monster X", a new flick which is apparently a Avengers style tale but with 10 of our favorite monsters. Ahmet Zappa (yeah the one you're thinking of) co-wrote the story which is not on the hunt to be turned into a full on screenplay. The very least it can't be any worse than "Monster Brawl" was.
It's been seven years since the film started to pop up at festivals and now "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane" is finally making its wait into selected theaters and onto VOD later this year thanks to Radius-TWC. Yes by now everyone who really wanted to see it has found their own way of obtaining the flick but let's not let that damper this joyous occasion.
Folks will finally get to see what kind of "Maniac" Elijah Wood makes when the remake is thrust into selected theaters and VOD on June 21st. It's already seen the light of day in other countries and because of that I have deemed the film Un-American and a national threat. You have been warned.
The re-make of the slasher classic "Maniac" staring Elijah Wood has yet to receive a release date, but the first 6 minutes of the flick have popped up online and are now ready for your eyes to gaze upon. 6 minutes sounds like a lot, but a few minutes is the credits. Then there's a lot of first person shots of a girl walking down the street. Then there's some Spanish subtitles. So I'd say if you like walking, subtitles and credits this is your movie.
It looks like NBC has officially put "Mockingbird Lane" out to pasture. I mean they canceled it. I'm not sure if my metaphor was clear. I'm not sure that was actually a metaphor either. God I'm so confused. But, just to confirm, the show's creator Bryan Fuller tweeted that the series, an updated take on the classic "The Musnters" series has been canceled. He then Insta-tweeted a picture of some really AMAZE grilled cheese he got at this little cheese shop he knows down in the Valley.
The good folks behind "The Walking Dead" will be releasing a new app this coming week at DeadYourself.com that will allow fans to zombify themselves and also offer exclusive content when the show returns on February 10th. Ya know what else you'll be able to do? Zombify ex-girlfriends! That'll show 'em, huh? Maybe then you'll finally get up the courage to ask for your Phish CDs back. You need those Phish CDs.
David S. Goyer has taken to the internets to shoot down any rumors floating around that he will be directing the upcoming big screen adaptation of "Hellsing", a new film about a secret agency who battles the forces of evil. No word on who will be taking to the chair or where the rumor started but if I were to guess I'd bet it's those pricks over at The National Enquirer. That still exists rights?
There's already a lot of talk about Spike Lee's remake of the Japanese flick "Oldboy" and I'm 99% sure not one second of film has rolled. But that fact aside, and it may not be a fact honestly because I refuse to check my facts, the flick has been given an October 11th 2013 release date. Almost a year away? Geez I think I'll be an old boy by the time this one comes out. Get it! OLD BOY!
A couple weeks back we talked about how Elijah Wood and his freaky teeth had started a new production company called The Woodshed. Well it looks like the company is wasting no time getting things moving because they've announced two new films they'll be thrusting out. "Toad Road", based on an urban legend and "A Girl Walks Home At Night" about an Iranian ghost town overrun by vampires have both been picked up for distribution. The teeth comment might of been kind of mean. I should have just mentioned his bug eyes and left it at that.
A supernatural sex show in New Orleans sounds kind of sassy if you ask me. I know you didn't, but I still thought you should know. God all we do is talk about you. ANYWAY! The show is called "The Big Easy" (clever) and it's been picked up by the fine folks at CBS and follows a hard livin trumpet player who also happens to be a paranormal investigator. You know how I love trumpet ghost stories. I've never hidden that fact and I never will.
This past weekend I sat down to watch Michael Doughtery's "Trick R Treat" as I do every year around this special spooky time. It was lovely. We had some company over, I made some delightful pulled chicken sliders and fun was had by all. But wouldn't it be nice to have a sequel to the anthology flick? Well according to Michael he's more and more interested in doing the project so there is some hope. Of course he hasn't written a word for script and there's nothing really in the works. But hey, he's kind of interested. That's just about as good as a release date right?
I have no idea what to make of Nicolas Cage anymore. I do nothing but joke about him but every movie he comes out with I want to see. Take "I am Wrath" for instance, which has just landed "The Exorcist" director William Friedkin. The plot is pretty played out, a guy takes the law into his own hand after his wife is murdered, but Cage will be all kinds of nuts in it and make weird faces and I will love it. Even if it's awful. It's going to be awful.
"Sleeping With the Enemy" director Joseph Ruben has officially signed on to remake the 1945 Orson Welles classic "The Stranger". For those of you not familiar with the original the film focuses on a reformed serial killer who is reunited with his old partner who tries to convince him to start killing again. I don't know what it is but anytime I'm reminded of Julia Roberts I want to murder too. I think it's her face.
Elijah Wood has always been a creepy little SOB but I had no idea he was such a horror nut. But according to the internet, which never lies, the snaggled toothed one has partnered up to form The Woodshed, a new production company aimed at bringing horror to the masses. I don't really know how horror isn't already being brought to the masses but the company has already lined up a gaggle of flicks that it plans on dropping in the near future. It's weird that Kirsten Dunst and him never got together now that I think about it.
AJ Bowen and Barbara Crampton have both been confirmed for the upcoming Halloween comedy "Grow Up". Solid chance you can guess the premise of this one but just so we're all on the same page it focuses on a young man who refuses to let the joys of his youth end. Sounds like every person that reads or writes for this site. I think we've got a winner.

Tigers' Miguel Cabrera charged with DUI in Florida – MLB – SI.com
Posted by detroitsportsandmore on February 17, 2011
Tigers' Miguel Cabrera charged with DUI in Florida – MLB – SI.com.
The optimism is just getting started for the Tiger's this season as players hit Florida for spring training and already the little flame of hope is being doused. It's an almost empty bottle of scotch that is raining down this time.
Check out the report from SI.com above.
It appears as though Cabrera is back out drinking and this time has been arrested and apparently charged with a DUI. As talented as Cabrera is, the strikes are starting to add up. The investment from the Tiger's in Cabrera would mean disaster if he was no able to play in Detroit. We'll all have to wait to see what the fallout is.
More important than baseball is the fact that Cabrera has a serious drinking problem. One that could end in disaster. From the incident with his wife to driving with a bottle of scotch in one hand. This is a very serious issue. Not just because he's Miguel Cabrera. Alcoholism destroys not just the people that suffer it but also the loved ones, teammates, and others that are in contact. I hope that in the end, this situation will be a trigger that gets him the help he needs.
Stay posted.

Birch tar - so incredibly pungent. A burnt forest, singed, black and smoky.
Thread: Birch / Sweet Birch / Betula
Compiled from the Note Identification Project thread:
Birch, Sweet - MIld, sweet, minty, terriffic. Is this what used to be in the old Emeraude? Or was it wintergreen? (They are close in aroma.) If so, I can see why it was once a great fragrance. Mesmerising.
Birch Leaf - Very different from Asha's sample, which had a pronounced wintergreen aroma. This one is much leafier, with green topnotes and not a smuch sweetness. I smell a bit of Eau de Camille in here. Very attractive.
Sweet Birch (EO, Simplers Botanicals, Betula lenta origin unknown)--3 drops on cotton, wafted
Although not a mint, sweet birch seems to be a sort of icy-hot and sweet minty scent, very much like wintergreen (a dangerous EO--I have not seen it around for years). If you can imagine wintergreen lifesavers and how incredibly bracing they are, then you will get the idea. The scent of sweet birch is penetrating--a real sinus-opener. I can see this being used as a muscle rub-down as a replacement for the dreaded wintergreen. After a couple hours, it is still very similar to the beginning scent, only less intense. It smells much more like lifesavers now.
Birch leaf 1% woody smoky tobacco
Birch leaf, synthetic, 1% dilution in carrier oil: initially sweet green, almost fruity like very green banana or melon rind; later it becomes fresh woody and takes up a not so pleasant almost leathery smell.

Birch tar - so incredibly pungent. A burnt forest, singed, black and smoky.
Actually, rectified birch tar is quite different than sweet birch, which has more of a wintergreen smell. I don't think we had any samples of birch tar going around in the original project, but I do love it in leather-centric fragrances such as Chanel Cuir de Russie!
Birch Tar is so warm and campfire-like. It's also useful for leather accords. Mix with some labdanum or just about any other resin like Peru Balsam or Benzoin or Amber of one sort another. Then modify that with something like vetiver or patchouli.
Birch Tar reminds me of the creosote I used to use to treat fence posts prior to installation during my teenage years.

NASSAU (Jan. 19, 2014) -- The Bahamas Softball Federal (BSF) made a donation of a softball kit to the Freedom Farm League on January 18 as part of its development program.
Softball and baseball joined forces, forming one organization, and attempted to return to the Olympic program last year. The effort did not gain enough support among International Olympic Committee voters and the sports fell short of their bid.
"I am sure that in subsequent Olympics, it will be back there, said BSF president Burkett Dorsett. "You have now through that amalgamation, one of the largest sporting bodies in the world with some 200 plus countries involved. Come March of this year in Switzerland, there will be a congress that would involve both bodies. The organization is now called WBSC – World Baseball Softball Federation."
Meanwhile, the BSF is working on building softball and baseball within the country. Mr. Dorsett said combining the efforts of softball and baseball will assist both sports. Their latest effort was the donation of a softball kit to the league.
"Our international body from time to time gives us these developmental kits," Mr. Dorsett said. "These leagues are considered developmental leagues. As you know, there are no senior programs for softball in these leagues. So we gave them the kit to assist them with the development of the ladies program. The kit involves some 12 or 15 gloves, catcher's gear, helmets, bats, balls, tapes and so forth."
Mr. Dorsett said he looks forward to seeing continued improvements in softball and baseball skills in The Bahamas.

Ask Eartha Steward: Working for the good of the cause
Dear Eartha,I am graduating from high school in a few months and exploring education & career opportunities in sustainability. Any tips for someone like me who is just starting down this path?- Emily, SilverthorneGreat question, Emily. Sounds like you may be heading off to college next year, where there are more sustainability degree options than we could possibly mention here. A long, long time ago when I was in college, there was no such thing as a sustainability degree. Regardless of whether you choose an environmental or sustainability degree, the key is getting involved in a business or community organization that does the type of work you are interested in. Think of it as test driving some career options. You'll need to figure out which causes have the most appeal to you, then find organizations in your area that are working on that issue. Sustainability is a growing field, and as you probably know, sustainability encompasses not just environmental protection, but also economic viability and social equity. When all three Es (environment, economics and equity) are incorporated, the array of potential sustainability careers is staggering. Several types of organizations offer sustainability career opportunities; including community nonprofits, national non-governmental organizations, corporations and government agencies.Community nonprofits like HC3 work on a variety of issues. Our areas of focus include waste diversion, clean energy and sustainable food production. Other local nonprofits are focused on water conservation, forest stewardship, land preservation and improving cultural and social equity. On a national or international level, non-government organizations (NGOs) are nonprofit organizations that tackle large-scale issues. The World Wildlife Fund and Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) are just two sustainability-focused groups. NGOs typically work with multiple stakeholders like businesses, legislators and concerned citizens to influence major change. For instance, NRDC and partners campaigned successfully to increase U.S. vehicle fuel economy standards in 2012.The business world also offers more sustainability-oriented careers than ever before. Locally, Vail Resorts and Arapahoe Basin both have environmental management positions. In addition, a number of local businesses, including Breckenridge Grand Vacations, have embraced sustainability and offer opportunities for staff to participate on green teams and develop sustainability programs. Many medium and large companies now have chief sustainability officer or similar positions.Finally, all levels of government offer sustainability-related positions. Summit County government has recycling jobs, an open space and trails department, environmental health positions and planners that work partly on sustainable development. The Dillon Ranger District of the U.S. Forest Service employs a number of land management specialists and scientists. Across the state, the Department of Wildlife, Bureau of Land Management and many more agencies are working on environmental issues. Now that you know how many options are out there, the real trick may be narrowing down your choices. The best way to learn more about jobs is to volunteer or apply for an internship or summer job. Most nonprofits, including HC3, love to work with motivated high school or college students. We partner with CMC (which by the way has an amazing sustainability studies program) students regularly on special projects and volunteer opportunities. I certainly can't speak for all organizations, but when HC3 is hiring, we look closely at work and volunteer experience. Often experience is more important than the type of degree applicants have earned. And volunteering shows a real commitment to working for the good of the cause! For anyone who has significant work experience in an unrelated field, I also recommend reading the environmental classics as well as some current sustainability books. Our favorite read is Auden Schendler's "Getting Green Done," because it offers very practical guidance on how to be successful in implementing green programs. By gaining some basic sustainability knowledge through reading, you'll be able to have an educated discussion with a hiring manager.Please contact us at HC3 if you're looking for more guidance or volunteer opportunities. And don't forget to join us March 7 to celebrate Summit County's original environmental activist. The 24th annual Tim McClure Benefit at the Maggie in Breckenridge features live music with The Big Onions, a southwest dinner and a chance to connect with like0minded friends. For details, visit highcountryconservation.org.Ask Eartha Steward is written by the staff at the High Country Conservation Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to waste reduction and resource conservation. Submit questions to Eartha at email@example.com.

Filter 5 pack
Akmon Concept
Akmon utilise a 4 stage filtration system to protect users from harmful pollutants. The filter is encased within harness, and is secured to the user via a neck strap. The filter itself features an inbuilt nose clip to aid in securing the filter in the correct position.
The Akmon air pollution face mask comes in nine colour variations and three different sizes. Carefully developed over two years, each facemask provides the best ergonomic fit and seal, while the filter acts as a barrier against 95% of harmful air pollutants. The Akmon starter kit includes: the Akmon mask shell with the filter and valves already installed, a travel pouch, an instruction manual and a set of 2 additional filters.
The technology is packaged in a sleek French design, ensuring your comfort and style is maintained when wearing your Akmon Concept mask.
How To & Size Guide
For further information on finding the right size, putting your mask on, and replacing the filter, please see: http://www.aethaer.com/akmon-info
Measurements should be taken from the inner edge of your ear to the tip of your nose and from the top of your nose to just the underside of your chin. We highly recommend you print out our PDF (click here) which will allow you to construct each size of the mask and see which one fits you best (you will need to tape the mask together as indicated).
When conducting your measurements, please ensure you use flexible measuring tape that can be moulded around the contours of your face. This will ensure your measurements will accurately reflect the size you require for your Akmon mask.
Colours & Patterns
There are 9 different mask colour options available. The mask colour options come in a variety of base colours and upper trim/piping colours. The exhalation valves come in 2 different colours.
When purchasing a starter kit, the default valve colour for that mask shall be included. You can buy additional valves separately.
· Fabrics
The outer layer of the facemask is a composition of rayon, nylon and spandex, picked for their strong yet soft qualities, as well as their ability to stretch comfortably around your face to form the best seal. The inner layer of the facemask has been engineered with 'CoolMax' technology. This performance fabric is commonly used in the sports industry for its breathability, 'moisture wicking' and accelerated drying qualities.
· Filters
The filter is comprised of four layers. The heart of the filter is packaged between two protective layers, the Akmon outer layer and the double punch cotton inner layer. Both of these fabrics promote comfort and breathability. The two central layers of the filter consist of a carbon+ filter and an electrostatic layer. These layers are fused together to act as a barrier against germs, gases, pollen, dust, odours and the smallest harmful airborne viruses (PM2.5). All four layers have been laboratory tested to ensure that 95% of air pollutants are filtered upon inhalation.
· Valves
Designed by German engineers, the valve has been crafted with an intricate level of detail. It allows for comfortable airflow and efficient air filtration. Upon inhalation, the internal membrane forces shut, pushing the air through the filter to ensure the pollutants are caught before entering your respiratory system. Upon exhalation, the membrane reopens to act as an exhaust. The small spikes inside the valve ensure the valve bites onto the surrounding fabric, providing maximum seal and protection from outside air. All this, and they can be easily be clipped on/off and come in two colour variations so you can mix and match your style!
How to use the mask
When putting the Akmon mask on your face, first ensure that it sits comfortably on the bridge of your nose, and then place the adjustable straps around your face, underneath your ears, and fasten them at the back of your neck. Try not to tighten the mask too much, as this will restrict your side-to-side head movements. Pinch the nosepiece to your own comfort and ensure that your mask is sealed properly. You are now ready to go!
Washing & Care Instructions
To wash the mask, first remove the valves and filters. The mask can then be washed at 30 degrees (cool wash). The filter cannot be washed. The valves can be rinsed under cool water and left to dry before re-installing into the mask along with the filter.

The summit presents a unique opportunity for all of us to work together and improve the free and open source desktop for all.
At the Desktop Summit 2011 the organizing team expects well over a thousand core contributors, prominent open source technology leaders, government, education and corporate representatives and hundreds of open source desktop engineers, usability experts and designers. Local and international IT industry are invited to learn about and join in developing the latest innovative desktop technology. The event is locally supported by the TSB Innovation Agency Berlin GmbH and the Berlin Senate.
The conference will take place at the 200 year old Humboldt University in the district of Under den Linden, part of the city center of Berlin. This area has plenty of good hotels and hostels, great restaurants and shopping areas and good public transport - all that in walking distance. Cultural needs can be met by the near-by Deutsches Historisches Museum, the City Library of Berlin and many other prominent buildings and institutions. A must-see for visitors of Berlin, the Brandenburger Tor, can be found on the street the university is on.
The registration for the Desktop Summit will open on 1 February 2011 and a call for papers will be issued. Talk submissions will be due on 15th of March and one month later the conference program will be announced. Saturday 6 August kicks off 3 days of joint keynotes, talks and social events followed by four days of collaborative workshops. The conference officially ends on Friday, 12 August.

Maine Republican Gov. Paul LePage says he's considering resignation after a string of controversies last week and that he plans to meet with a Democratic lawmaker to make amends for leaving an obscene rant on his voicemail that said, "I am after you."
Speaking on WVOM-FM radio Tuesday, LePage said his tirade was "unacceptable and totally my fault."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
He said he's going to meet with family and close advisers to decide what to do next. He said, "we're considering a whole bunch of options at this point."
He added he hopes Maine residents will forgive him and say, "You clean up your act and let's move forward."
necn has reached out to LePage for comment.
Meanwhile, Maine Senate President Michael Thibodeau expects LePage to call him today to follow up on their meeting Monday evening, Thibodeau's spokesperson told necn.
LePage had been angry with Democratic Rep. Drew Gattine because he thought Gattine called him a racist. Gattine denies it.
"I want you to prove that I'm a racist," LePage said in the voicemail, adding that he had spent his life helping black people and calling Gattine a vulgar name related to oral sex. "I want you to record this and make it public because I am after you."
On the radio show LePage said being called a racist "just knocked me off my feet."
Democratic lawmakers last week argued that LePage was coming unhinged and called for a political intervention with the governor. Some also asked for him to resign.
Last week LePage apologized to "the people of Maine" — but not to Gattine.
While on WVOM-FM he added, "I will call to see if we can meet."
"If I've lost my ability to help Maine people, maybe it's time to move on," LePage said on WVOM-FM, as the Portland Press Herald first reported.
Later Tuesday, LePage downplayed his comments, tweeting a Mark Twain quip. He also cancelled a town hall appearance planned for Wednesday in Gattine's hometown of Westbrook.
The governor's comments on Tuesday came after he reportedly doubled down on some of his statements regarding race and drugs, even linking Maine's opioid epidemic to black and Hispanic offenders and the cities of Lowell and Lawrence in Massachusetts.
Maine Senate President Michael Thibodeau expects LePage to call him today to follow up on a meeting they held Monday evening, a Thibodeau spokesperson told necn.

The mill special was developed with input from various sawyers. They asked us to develop a short cant hook without a grip and a smaller diameter handle. We reduced the diameter to 1.375" and offer 24", 30" and 36" lengths. We replaced the grip with a baseball bat type end cap to keep the tool from slipping out of the user's grasp. Our mill specials still have the same reliability as our regular cant hooks with a strong yet light aluminum handle, the highly visible and durable bright blue powder coat, and the heat treated, zinc plated hook.

Lisa Jackson's sustainability vision
Two Steps Forward
Lisa Jackson's sustainability vision
The United States Environmental Protection Agency wants to help your company become sustainable.
If that sentence seems curious or quixotic, consider this: Over the past few months, agency executives have had some 500 conversations with companies, nonprofits, community leaders, and others — a series of "listening sessions" — on how the EPA might "improve decision making and further incorporate principles of sustainability into its ongoing work."
It's an intriguing, bold and, perhaps, audacious move for an agency chartered 42 years ago to set and enforce standards to ensure environmental protection and public health. As Barack Obama begins his second term, and EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson wraps up the final weeks of her tenure, the notion of whether and how the EPA can embed sustainability into its work will be an intriguing story to watch.
Some background is in order. In 2010, Jackson asked the National Research Council's Science and Technology for Sustainability Program, part of the National Academy of Science, to provide a framework for integrating sustainability "as a key driver of the agency's activities." The resulting 160-page report (download here), delivered in May 2011 and referred to as the "Green Book," provides recommendations for a sustainability approach that incorporates and goes beyond how the agency has assessed and managed the risks posed by pollutants — the basis of environmental policy since the 1980s.
As the National Academy put it:
Although risk-based methods have led to many successes and remain important tools … they are not adequate to address many of the complex problems that put current and future generations at risk, such as depletion of natural resources, climate change, and loss of biodiversity. Moreover, sophisticated tools are increasingly available to address cross-cutting, complex, and challenging issues that go beyond risk management.
The report recommended that EPA formally adopt as its sustainability paradigm the widely used "three pillars" approach — that is, considering the environmental, social and economic impacts of an agency action or decision.
Last week, two blocks from the White House and less than 48 hours before President Obama took his oath of office, Jackson convened a roundtable of companies for a conversation about the business implications of an EPA focus on sustainability, as well as a more general discussion of what role the EPA should play in supporting the private sector's sustainability initiatives. Among the 15 companies at the table were executives from Dell, Dow, Dupont, Ford, Intel, International Paper, Johns Manville, LG Electronics, Lockheed Martin, Siemens, Unilever, Weyerhaeuser, and Xerox. I was asked to serve as moderator for the event.
In the run-up to that meeting, I also met with Jackson during her recent visit to California. We discussed her sustainability vision, as well as her thoughts on how the agency could better support the private sector in the years to come. (The full transcript of that conversation, edited for clarity, can be found here.)
"One of the conundrums of our time right now is, [critics] say we have an elected government that doesn't always reflect the will of the people," Jackson told me. "Well, I feel like we have a business policy and an energy policy and a water use policy that sometimes don't reflect what's best for businesses, but [companies] don't know how to engage, and we start having the same old conversations. It's like we're stuck in a loop."
Suffice to say, getting unstuck from that loop has been the goal of several of Jackson's predecessors, partial evidence of which can be found in more than 100 EPA voluntary programs for business, from the well-known (Energy Star, WaterSense, SmartWay) to the obscure (BurnWise, Ruminant Livestock Efficiency Program, Clean School Bus). Beyond that, most EPA administrators have tried to find common ground with companies seeking to go beyond compliance in their environmental programs and performance. There have been few signs of success.
With good reason: At its heart, EPA is a regulatory body, mandated by Congress to implement and enforce a succession of environmental laws dealing with air and water quality, toxic emissions, waste disposal, pesticide registration, and other things. And that duality — the agency's enforcement mandate as well as its desire to play nice with proactive companies — has long presented a challenging balancing act for the EPA.
Jackson believes the time has come to go further than previous efforts, hence the "Green Book" report, the listening sessions, and last week's roundtable. And while it may seem a curious time for her to introduce this — just weeks before she departs the administration for her next, as-yet-unknown adventure — she seems to truly believe that this is where the EPA needs to go. "Sustainability has to be a cornerstone of our work, whether that's internal in the organization or working with organizations like yours that are already on the cutting edge," she told the executives at last week's roundtable.
She also seems to understand the challenge her agency faces: "How do you take a concept like sustainability, which wasn't as much talked about when some of these laws were passed, and ensure that you don't break the laws, but you actually make real progress? And how do you make sure that it's consistent with our mandates but also what's needed in this day and age?"
Another open question is what, exactly, Jackson and her team mean by "sustainability."
"When NAS did their study on sustainability and EPA, they didn't bother to define it," she explained when I asked her about that. "And they did that for a really good reason. They felt that the process of trying to narrow into a definition might, in and of itself, exclude people from the table. Everyone hears in that word something that resonates. So we kept that very broad concept." EPA's definition of the word doesn't specifically incorporate social dimensions — "We are not the Social Inclusion Protection Agency," Jackson stresses — though the agency already plays a role in public health and environmental justice issues, and has more than a passing interest in job creation.
Whatever the definition, Jackson sees an opportunity for a conversation about sustainability to foster a more collaborative approach with business. For instance, she says, "We hear from companies who say, 'I would do more of X, but your regulations on Y inhibit that.' Or, 'I can invest in making this process more efficient or that process more efficient, but I don't have the capital to do both at the same time.' We need to be able to hear that and make sure that we're not inadvertently causing more pollution in one media or another, or causing those kinds of trade-offs that inhibit innovation. I think there's plenty of room for that. I think technology has gotten us to the point where we're not talking about, you know, 'Allow me to pollute so I can employ 100 more people.' It's more, 'Help me understand that I can make a series of investments and feel some level of certainty.'"
I suggested to Jackson that some business leaders are going to hear about an EPA push to promote sustainability, and to reward companies for leadership, and say, "We've seen this movie before." I even offered up two "feature films" as cases in point. One is Performance Track, which was an effort to recognize and acknowledge companies that were excelling, and reward them through incentives, regulatory relief and fast-track permitting. The other was Climate Leaders, which recognized companies for leadership in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Both of those programs came and went, despite their seeming popularity among companies.
"In an age of political volatility," I asked Jackson, "how do companies know that this is not going to be, pardon me, but a flavor-of-the-month — something that they're going to invest in, get excited about, want to be a part of, and then see it go away?"
"Performance Track is a great example of a government program that people talk about now in retrospect a lot better than they talked about it when it was happening," Jackson responded. "What people said about Performance Track was more in line with that it takes forever to get regulatory relief. 'We've given you everything you've asked for and you can't seem to get it through your lawyers.' And there was a really good reason for that, because the laws were not set up that way at all. They were never set up to say, 'You know, Joel, if you do these three things we'll forget the fact that you can't do No. 4.' We don't actually have that flexibility.
"What we do have is the ability to recognize the things you are doing, that for many companies can buy them some ability to deal with the times when things aren't always going that well. It's really that simple. I think we have to be willing to try things, and people also have to be willing to admit when things aren't working."
As for Climate Leaders, "We were rewarding people for reporting things that are now required, and so you can't have a leader's program when the regs finally caught up with the leaders; they had been out in front, but now it's the law of the land."
So, I asked Jackson, how should we think about Jackson's sustainability vision? Will it be a new program that companies sign on to, or something less visible undergirding how the agency approaches its overall mission?
"I don't think it's been that defined yet," she replied. "If you look at the 'Green Book,' what the National Academy recommended was that we look at how we do our own risk assessments internally to make sure that we're thinking about sustainability principles — that we look at our regulatory processes internally to make sure we're not inhibiting sustainability. So, we have that kind of work to do internally. I would be loathe, too, if I were in the private sector to sign up for something. I don't think we need a brand new, big-old program; I think what we need to do is make sure that the communication is robust and that we're learning from each other."
I asked Jackson: "When you and I get together in January 2017, at the end of President Obama's second term, and you look back at this thing that you spawned as you were heading out the door, what's the story that you want to be able to tell?"
"The country is prepared to take some pretty big leaps forward in my mind, in everything from energy efficiency to reducing toxics," said Jackson. "But we still are a little bit 'stuck on stupid' — that's my father's phrase — which is, we still have the same argument in that we assume you can't make that progress without paying a heavy toll in terms of economic growth. And I've just never believed that. All it takes is a willingness to look at the problem and say, 'I want them both,' and come up with a solution that optimizes both. So I would hope that it was the time when forward-thinking businesses who see that already — who don't see the need to say either/or — said, 'We found an ear in the EPA in a way that helped us feel like we did have support, and had a voice and a seat at the table.' I don't know where it will go. It will be for the next administrator and probably his or her legacy will be determined by how much of it they formalize and how they do that.
"But I'll tell you, I don't actually think it can go away because there's so much excitement inside the agency about it. The biggest concern we have to make sure is that everyone doesn't run off with a thousand points of sustainability, and all of a sudden there's all these programs, and to the outside world it just looks like a nice bunch of little things instead of a bigger change."
Ah, yes: change. That's the über mission Barack Obama long ago promised. As he begins his second term, it will be fascinating — and nontrivial — to see if he and his next EPA administrator can effect the kinds of changes it will take to better align environmental protection with sustainability leadership.

How the Universe came from nothing
This will be good if common sense is applied. I'm sure it will be okay once everyone's got used to it.
I also like harsher penalties for over rates (should have been harsher though), the change in the light rule, and the prospect of day-night Tests.
All in all, a good meeting for the ICC.
Did they also sign away yet another new cheque for 'No play, all pay' Zimbabwe Cricket? That carpet in the ICC board room is looking real lumpy with all that stuff swept away under it.

A very welcome step. Errors in decision-making will be reduced. Player dissent will be reduced. These are good things and, in view of them, the old argument that the authority of the on-field umpires will be undermined is paper-thin.
Teething troubles need to be ironed out (apologies for the grisly mixed metaphor) but once that's happened the system will be accepted, much like referrals for line decisions which we all now accept as normal and an improvement to the game.
There are, in my view, plenty of arguments against the review system and precious few (now we actually know what it entails) in its favour.
Just need to make the rules clearer for it.

Be so much easier to just use a better system rather than trying to push water uphill to make a nonsensical system work.
What's nonsensical about it?
It's a good system, they just need to clarify the rules for everyone, and actually take disciplinary action against those who refuse to get it.
Richard, sometimes I wonder you have to be so po-mo.
What does undermine umpires is the sort of over-appealing, intimidation and dissent which have become so prevalent in the last 30 years or so. And that's PRECISELY what the referral system cuts out. This was obviously predictable and has been plain to see in practice. Because the umpire can say to the bowler, look, if you're so bloody sure that decision was wrong, you can risk a referral on it. If the bowling side doesn't refer it, there's no use their whingeing or bitching on about it. And hey, if the referral is upheld, an injustice has been averted.
And yes decision-making has certainly already been improved. And it will improve further as video umpires and those who present the evidence to then become more skilled and experienced.

Arniel won't coach Utica Comets, pursuing NHL assistant job
The Canucks finally settled on a head coach for the big club this week and now they'll need to find one for their new American Hockey league farm team, the Utica Comets. Scott Arniel, who was under contract for two more seasons, said Thursday he won't be heading to Utica and will instead sign with an NHL club as an assistant coach.
Arniel is in the running to join the staff of new Canuck head coach John Tortorella. Other possibilities are the New York Rangers and Dallas Stars where Arniel has ties to the new bench bosses there, Alain Vigneault and Lindy Ruff. There is believed to be a fourth team in the running as well.
"I'm not going to go to Utica," Arniel said. "I talked to Mike Gillis and Laurence Gilman and Lorne Henning and told them I am going to pursue an assistant job in the National Hockey League. I still want to be a head coach again in the NHL and I think this is the way to go."
Arniel, 50, has had one stint as an NHL head coach in Columbus but lasted only one and a half seasons with the Blue Jackets before receiving the boot. Prior to Columbus, he coached the Canucks' AHL affiliate in Winnipeg, the Manitoba Moose, for four seasons. He was rehired by the Canucks to coach the Chicago Wolves in 2012-13.
"Last year I kind of knew I wanted to get back into coaching and it was a good fit to take the Chicago job, even though I had some opportunities to be an assistant in the NHL," Arniel explained. "I am going to go to the draft this weekend to gather more information about the teams and players and to find out about roles. I think I will have to make a decision fairly shortly."
Earlier this week, Canuck GM Gillis confirmed he has agreed to let other organizations talk to Arniel about their assistant positions. "We're extremely hopeful to keep Scott but when teams ask for permission, you're pretty obligated to guys who have worked for you, and are loyal to you, to allow them to speak to other teams," Gillis said.
Arniel played two seasons in Buffalo while Tortorella was an assistant coach there. Arniel also served as an assistant coach in Buffalo for three seasons under Ruff and, of course, worked closely with Vigneault while the latter was Canuck head coach and he was nurturing the farmhands in Manitoba and Chicago.

I have an Asus Eee PC on which i have succesfully installed various earlier versions of Linux Mint. Just now I downloaded the Mint 14 ISO and burned it to a USB stick. I booted from this USB stick and verified the media.
Booting from the USB stick, I have tried installing Mint 14 on this netbook. I have selected the custom install, installing the OS on /dev/sda1 (reformatted), and keeping /dev/sda6 intact, which is my /home directory.
I have repeated the installation three times and every time I get the same error message:
Code: Select all
The 'grub-efi' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot
Suggestions anyone?
