There's always one Debbie Downer at a good party.
So why should Peyton Manning's retirement press conference be any different? Hours before Manning met with media to discuss his retirement and 18 years in professional football, Pittsburgh Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams took some not-so-veiled shots on Twitter at Manning's performance from last season.
Look Peyton is a hall of fame qb who couldn't play dead in a western last year but career over all is astonishing but last year was
— DeAngelo Williams (@DeAngeloRB) March 7, 2016
Williams isn't simply throwing shade Manning's way. The tweet came as part of a longer conversation he was having with Twitter users about Manning. Williams' initial tweet on Manning questioned a statement by CBS' Pete Prisco that Manning showed he could still play after Prisco watched the Broncos game against the Green Bay Packers. Manning threw for 340 yards but didn't throw any touchdowns.

The Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University is joining a growing movement among universities and research institutions to make scholarly research available to the public and free online. The Mailman School is the first school at the university and one of the first of U.S. schools of public health to adopt an open access resolution, which calls for faculty and other researchers at the school to post their papers in openly available online repositories such as Columbia's Academic Commons. The resolution passed unanimously by a vote of the standing Faculty Steering Committee and goes into effect on May 1, 2013.
Faculty and other researchers at the Mailman School publish scores of articles annually in scientific journals. One of the challenges for advancing scientific research, however, is that many journal articles are available only to researchers at universities and other organizations that pay substantial subscription fees. In accordance with their open access resolution, Mailman School researchers commit to having their published scholarly articles included in Columbia's digital repository, Academic Commons, where content is freely available to the public, or in another repository, such as the National Institutes of Health's PubMed Central, that makes the research publicly available.
"A wider dissemination of research and information has been a number one priority of our faculty, who are motivated by the belief that scientific knowledge belongs to everyone," said Dean Linda P. Fried, MD, MPH, and DeLamar Professor of Public Health. "It is in the interest of all of us to take every measure possible to improve and simplify the process of gaining access to our research findings. I couldn't be more proud of our faculty who initiated this resolution to share their scholarly work."
The resolution covers all scholarly journal articles as of May 1. There is an opt-out feature built into the resolution, permitting the researcher to request that an article that appears in a journal that insists on exclusivity not have that piece included in the repository.
In January 2011, the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory became the first program at Columbia to adopt an open access resolution, followed by Columbia University Libraries' adoption of a policy in June 2011.
"We applaud the leadership of the Mailman School as the first Columbia school and among the first U.S. schools of public health to advance open access to research articles. It will serve as a model as the Libraries continue to work with other Columbia schools, centers and institutes to expand the commitment and participation," said James G. Neal, vice president for information services and university librarian.
The Columbia University Libraries will begin working immediately to support Mailman School researchers as they make their articles available through Academic Commons, the repository platform hosted by the Center for Digital Research and Scholarship (CDRS), a division of the Columbia University Libraries/Information Services.
Rebecca Kennison, Director of CDRS, commented on the resolution: "Our digital research repository, Academic Commons, has experienced several years of explosive growth in terms of research deposited and worldwide access to that that research output. We are very much looking forward to working with the Mailman School faculty to ensure that their research has the greatest impact possible within the global community of practitioners and researchers who will now be able to have unfettered access to their work."
The Center for Digital Research and Scholarship (CDRS) at Columbia serves the digital research and scholarly communications needs of the faculty, students, and staff of Columbia University and its affiliates. Our mission is to increase the utility and impact of research produced at Columbia by creating, adapting, implementing, supporting, and sustaining innovative digital tools and publishing platforms for content delivery, discovery, analysis, data curation, and preservation. In pursuit of that mission, we also engage in extensive outreach, education, and advocacy to ensure that the scholarly work produced at Columbia University has a global reach and accelerates the pace of research across disciplines. CDRS, led by Rebecca Kennison, is one of six entities that comprise the Digital Programs and Technology Services branch of Columbia University Libraries/Information Services. The Center was created in July 2007 to address the ongoing evolution of researchers' and scholars' needs as new technologies, policies, and systems of knowledge support arise.
Columbia University Libraries/Information Services is one of the top five academic research library systems in North America. The collections include over 11 million volumes, over 150,000 journals and serials, as well as extensive electronic resources, manuscripts, rare books, microforms, maps, and graphic and audio-visual materials. The services and collections are organized into 22 libraries and various academic technology centers. The Libraries employs more than 500 professional and support staff. The website of the Libraries is the gateway to its services and resources: library.columbia.edu.

Another potential reason for building lots of planetoids would be for a last ditch "Safehold" maneuver. A planetoid contains enough people and equipment to establish a viable colony on a new world (as the mutineers planned in t he first book). So if worse comes to worse and the war is going to be lost the surviving planetoids can be used as colony ships to ensure the survival of humanity.

But Colin learned at the end that the Achuultani were technologically stagnant - something that the Imperium never knew - and had no way of knowing. The Imperium HAD to build all those planetoids under the assumption that the Achuultani were advancing at the same rate that the Imperium was. Make sense?

Eric Smith runs back interception against Rams
That is, until one talks with Eric Smith.
Last week, Jets head coach Rex Ryan praised the Jets safety for his understanding of the defense and certainly that shouldn't be a surprise. Smith is smart, borderline brilliant and is largely considered the smartest Jet on the team. The seventh year veteran reads Greek Mythology for fun and got his masters degree several years ago.
He's also the player that all new members of the secondary turns to in order to understand the defense. Smith likened studying the playing book to understanding biology and in particular cellular respiration.
This we had to hear.
"Things start from one thing and kind of evolve from another thing. Things keep adding up, the concepts are related like the cells splitting and reproducing," Smith told The Jets Blog. "In that way, it reminds me a lot of cellular respiration."
"I take pride in knowing the defense but I play a lot of positions. It makes it easier when guys are in there like Dave [Harris] and B.T. (Bryan Thomas) who also know and understand the defense."
Perhaps it is just the brainy side of Smith coming out.
It took Smith just four offseasons to get his masters degree in criminal justice. He took three or four classes each offseason while balancing his own individual workouts along with OTAs, minicamp and then training camp. He finished with a 3.5 G.P.A. and his final assignment was a 50-page paper that he "procrastinated" and wrote during the course of a week.
Undergrad was a time, he said, where he "slacked off" and earned "only" a 3.3 G.P.A. That Japanese Literature course killed him in the fall of his sophomore year, he recalls, shaking his head.
And now Smith is relied upon and praised by the likes of Yeremiah Bell for his intricate understanding of the Jets playbook.
"If it's going to help us make plays and be successful I will do that," Smith said. "Usually I'm the guy everyone comes to because I've been around so long. I've picked that reputation up because I've been here the longest. I'm glad to do it though."

The Latest: Trump's remarks on clashes draw strong reactions
BEDMINISTER, N.J. (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump's reaction to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia (all times local):
6:40 p.m.
President Donald Trump is blaming "many sides" for the violent clashes between white supremacists and counter-protesters in Virginia. His remarks have brought reactions from Republicans as well as Democrats.
A Republican senator from Colorado, Cory Gardner, tweeted "Mr. President - we must call evil by its name. These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism."
Another Republican, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, wrote: "Nothing patriotic about #Nazis,the #KKK or #WhiteSupremacists It's the direct opposite of what #America seeks to be."
Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch wrote, "We should call evil by its name. My brother didn't give his life fighting Hitler for Nazi ideas to go unchallenged here at home."
Trump condemned "this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides."
4 p.m.
President Donald Trump is condemning "in the strongest possible terms" what he's calling an "egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides" after clashes at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Trump is calling for "a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives."
The president made his comments at a bill signing ceremony at his golf club in New Jersey where he's on a working vacation.
Trump says he's spoken with the governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, and "we agreed that the hate and the division must stop and must stop right now."
He says "we have to come together as Americans with love for our nation and ... true affection for each other."
2:45 p.m.
President Donald Trump says there's "no place" in the United States for the kind of violence that's broken out at a white nationalist rally in Virginia.
Disturbances began Friday night during a march through the University of Virginia. Saturday's clashes between white nationalists and counter-protesters have grown so violent the governor has declared a state of emergency and police have ordered people to disperse.
Trump has tweeted that "we ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for." He also says "there is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!"
The White House was silent for hours except for a tweet from first lady Melania Trump — "Our country encourages freedom of speech, but let's communicate w/o hate in our hearts."
This story has been corrected by deleting Mike Huckabee's remarks, which were not in response to Trump's comments.

Life in Christian County, Kentucky...
Touches of human creativity and personality can be seen in odd places. Consider these shed doors. Given four small windows and two large doors, the builder could have done the typical garage door window arrangement. However, he chose to set them diagonally at opposite angles.
Apparently he decided to give this humble building a little pizzazz. And it worked, don't you think?

Click this link for the latest CW renewal / cancellation information: [rssinpage rssfeed='http://feeds.feedburner.com/TvbythenumbersCancel/renewCwShows' rssitems='1′ rssformat='Y']
Our Renew / Cancel Index predicts the network's decision on renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows by the end of the 2012-13 season in May, 2013. (includes results from December 31, 2012- February 3, 2013):
|Renew/ Cancel Index
|Emily Owens, M.D.
|😐 😐 😐
|Gossip Girl*
|final season complete
|Nikita (F)
|🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
|The Carrie Diaries
|😐 😐 😐
|Hart Of Dixie
|😐 😐 😐
|Beauty And The Beast
|🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
|Vampire Diaries
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And given the current ratings for shows on the CW, the last two weeks of 0.7 adults 18-49 ratings for Beauty & The Beast makes it at least a prince. For that reason, I have elevated my prediction for it to likely to be renewed. Fans shouldn't get too excited, if the ratings go back down, so will my prediction. And after getting burned by the late season plunge for The Secret Circle, I'm extra twitchy this season.
If last night's 0.7 rating for The Carrie Diaries isn't just a temporary blip, things are about to get a lot more interesting at the CW. Even I doubt Mark Pedowitz would cancel a show drawing a 0.7 rating, to give a final season to a show drawing a 0.4 rating (90210). And if both The Carrie Diaries and Beauty & The Beast can maintain those 0.7's while Hart Of Dixie is stuck at a 0.5, then things get worrisome for HOD fans.
Better to Follow The Bear, Than Be Chased By Him. This season you can follow the Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear. The Cancellation Bear will retweet all the Renew/Cancel Index post titles and links as well as engage in a little more back and forth banter than we do on our standard @TVbytheNumbers Twitter feed.
From now through the end of the broadcast season in May, the Renew/Cancel Index values will only be calculated using new episodes airing during 2013. However, until new episodes of a show air in 2013, I will keep the "old" Fall predictions in the table.
Want to know what the CW Renew/Cancel Index table looked like at the end of the Fall season? Click here.
- 😳 – certain to be cancelled by May, 2013
- 😥 :cry:- more likely to be cancelled than renewed by May, 2013
- 😐 😐 😐 – toss up between renewal or cancellation by May, 2013
- 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 – more likely to be renewed than cancelled by May, 2013
- – certain to be renewed by May, 2012
The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show's new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It's calculated by dividing a show's new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show's own network. The network's average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.

Speaking of child abuse, legislators in Belgium are moving toward passage of a law that would allow doctors to euthanize children.
It all began in 2002 with a law that allowed doctors in Belgium to kill their patients who were (a) at least 18 years old, (b) of sound mind, and (c) gave their consent. Left out of this (of course) was just how questionable "consent" becomes when families and medical practitioners go at a sick person who is probably also isolated and totally dependent on them for their emotional and physical well being.
This "right" morphed a bit in 2013 when doctors began killing people who were not terminally ill, but merely facing a disability. Now, the idea of extending this "right to die" to children and people suffering from dementia is moving toward legality.
The family of four-year-old Jessica Saba has stepped into the debate to ask King Philippe to block euthanasia for children like her. I say "like her" because Jessica was born with a heart defect that required surgery to allow her to live.
You know what that kind of surgery is, don't you? It's expensive.
Whereas, killing the child would be oh, so much cheaper, not to mention alleviating the "suffering" of her parents and saving the baby herself from that painful wake-up from anesthesia which any surgery patent knows all too well.
When you look at it that way, it's a blessing to kill little kids. Who could be so cruel as to deprive them of their "right" to die?
As for those difficult dementia patients, aren't their "useful" lives over anyway? Think how much better it would be for families if they weren't burdened with the trouble of taking care of Grandma. As for the expense, everyone knows that end of life care racks up the bucks.
I apologize for being so sarcastic. But I am at my wit's end with people who try to justify legalized medical murder by flinging around ridiculous arguments about how killing people is a kindness to them and their "right."The killing of innocents is not a "human right" and it is not a kindness.
We are creating a society where we kill everyone who does not have the capacity to actively defend their life in a courtroom. If someone who can stand upright and vocalize sophisticated arguments does not speak up for them — and in certain cases such as the judicial murder of Terry Shiavo, even if they do — they can and will be killed by doctors obeying a court order. All that needs to happen is for someone else with what the court decides is "standing" to petition the court that they want their "loved one" dead.
I hope and pray that the lawmakers of Belgium get a grip and stop this legislation themselves. But if that does not happen, we can only hope that King Philippe will step in. I assume there will be an enormous political price to pay if he does.
That is an interesting remark, isn't it? We have come to the place in our "civilized" Western world where the political danger lies in refusing to allow oneself to be made into the executioner of little children and helpless old people.
I do not ever take a destabilizing action in governance lightly, and I assume that is what this could be. My basic premise of governance is that a just and stable government is always the greater good. However, a government that kills its old people and little children is not just. There are times when the decision is so fraught that there truly is no other option but to take the possibly destabilizing path.
Every lawmaker from the king down who says yes to this will have done something that puts them beyond the pale of civilized behavior. Every person who lobbies for it, or votes for those who pass it, will have made themselves an accomplice to it.
If the king signs this, he will make of himself the executioner of little children and helpless old people. Could you sign it? Would you?
I hope the lawmakers say no. If they don't, I hope the king says no.
Whatever the political consequences, they are nothing compared to the moral consequences of having said yes to this measure.

Fla. teacher Amie Lou Neely accused of having sex with foreign exchange student
(CBS) PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - A 38-year-old Florida teacher was arrested Sunday after she was allegedly caught by her husband having sex with a 16-year-old foreign exchange student who was living at their home.
According to The Palm Beach Post, Amie Lou Neely was arrested on a sexual assault-related charge following a Port St. Lucie police investigation.
Police say Neely's husband caught the pair together Saturday after he used a smart phone app to track his wife's phone, WPBF reports. He allegedly found them having sex in a car near St. Lucie West Centennial High School.
Neighbors told police Saturday that the student showed up at their home saying Neely's husband kicked him out of the house for having sex with his wife, according to WPTV.
The Palm Beach Post reports that Neely blamed her actions on a "midlife crisis" and told police the 16-year-old kept asking her for sex. The student said they had sex more than once; Neely denied that.
A representative for the school where Neely worked, the Community Christian Academy in Stuart, told the New York Daily News that she's no long employed there as of Wednesday.
Neely was released from jail Sunday on $15,000 bail.

The soldiers of the American Revolution were not ones to surrender. A few years back I had a fun assignment for Boys' Life magazine to illustrate a historical fiction piece in which a main character gets taken hostage by the British Redcoats. In a brave midnight ambush, his fellow countrymen storm the farm where he is being held captive and rescue him. In this piece I wanted to give a bit of an homage to a couple of my favorite Golden Age illustrators who were both masters of dramatic historical subject matter- Howard Pyle and N.C. Wyeth. Any similarity to their iconic work is purely intentional.

Photos from the match! (Credit Denis Concordel)
STANFORD, Calif. - On a warm summer night in front of the home crowd of the defending national champions, No.17 Santa Clara women's soccer team kicked-off the 2012 season with a 6-1 loss vs. No. 1 Stanford. Despite taking an early 1-0 lead and holding it into the start of the second half, Stanford scored six unanswered goals in the second half, including five in the first 20 minutes, to put the game away.
Olivia Klei scored the lone Bronco goal on an assist from Sarah Jackson and freshman goalkeeper Andi Tostanoski collected three saves.
The Broncos will return to the field on Thu., Aug. 23 at 4 p.m. when they travel to their 2011 NCAA Tournament foe Cal before opening the home portion of the schedule vs. UC Riverside on Sun., Aug. 26 at 1 p.m.
"In the first half I thought we played them tough and our team scored a nice counterattack goal," said Santa Clara head coach Jerry Smith. "In the second half they came out with tremendous confidence, aggressiveness and determination. They beat us in every category in that second half but there were certainly good lessons for our team. We'll learn from this and move forward. When you choose to play a team like Stanford out of the gate, you want to know where you stand and we found that out tonight."
Klei scored the first goal of the season in the 13th minute on a beautiful ball from Jackson across the field. Klei knocked the ball from the left side of the box into the back of the net, past the Stanford goalie.
Stanford nearly tied the game seconds later but a diving stop from freshman goalie Andi Tostanoski preserved the early 1-0 lead.
In 33rd minute Stanford centered the ball for a one-on-one with the goalkeeper but the pass was just past the outreached leg of the forward and the ball went past the end line for a goal kick.
Despite being outshot 5-2 in the first half Santa Clara took a 1-0 lead into halftime.
The second half was all Stanford as it scored six unanswered goals starting on a corner kick by Courtney Verloo in the 47th minute to Mariah Nogueira. The Cardinal cashed in on three corner kicks (Nogueria, 47th minute, Garciamendez 61st minute, Griffen,64th minute) and scored three other goals (Quon, 53rd minute, Payne 58th minute, Griffen, 68th minute).

Does it really cost more to stick to a healthy diet?
The answer is yes, , according to a new study. But this study does not take into consideration many factors that make it hard for the average working class family
The research review combined the results of 27 studies from 10 different countries that compared the cost of healthy and unhealthy diets.
The verdict? A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts and fish costs about a person about $1.50 more per day — or $550 per year — compared to a diet high in processed grains and meats, fat, sugar and convenience foods.
By and large, protein drove the price increases. Researchers found that healthy proteins — think a portion of boneless skinless chicken breast — were 29 cents more expensive per serving compared to less healthy sources, like a fried chicken nugget.
The study was published online Dec. 5 in the journal BMJ Open.
"For many low-income families, this could be a genuine barrier to healthy eating," said study author Mayuree Rao. She is a junior research fellow in the department of epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, in Boston.
For example, a family of four that is following the USDA's thrifty eating plan has a weekly food budget of about $128. An extra $1.50 per for each person in the family a day adds up to $42 for the week, or about 30 percent of that family's total food tab.
Rao says it's wouldn't be such a big difference for many middle-class families, though.
She said that "$1.50 is about the price of a cup of coffee and really just a drop in the bucket when you consider the billions of dollars spent every year on diet-related chronic diseases."
Researchers who weren't involved in the review had plenty to say about its findings.
"I am thinking that a mean difference in cost of $1.50 per person per day is very substantial," said Adam Drewnowski, director of the nutritional sciences program at the University of Washington, in Seattle. He has compared the cost of healthy versus unhealthy diets.
Drewnowski said that at an extra $550 per year for 200 million people would outstrip the entire annual budget for food assistance in the United States.
Dr. Hilary Seligman, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, said healthy food can be expensive for families in ways that go beyond its cost at the checkout. For that reason, she said, the strict cost comparison in this review probably underestimates the true burden to a person's budget.
For example, she pointed out that people in poor neighborhoods that lack big grocery stores may not be able to afford the gas to drive to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. They may work several jobs and not have time to prep foods from scratch.
"To eat a healthy diet on a very low income requires an extraordinary amount of time. It's doable, but it's really, really hard work. These studies just don't take things like that into account," Seligman said.
Still, Melissa Joy Dobbins, a registered dietitian and a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, said the study should reassure many consumers that "eating healthy doesn't have to cost more."

AMERICUS - Lander University scored 13 runs over the final three innings on Sunday to leave Hurricane Stadium with a 14-1 win and series sweep of Georgia Southwestern in Peach Belt Conference baseball action.
Lander, victorious in nine of its last 10 games, improved to 17-6 overall and 7-2 in the PBC. GSW, now 3-19 overall and 2-7 in the PBC, has lost five in a row and seven of its last eight.
Hurricane center fielder Michel Coffey singled in his third at bat to extend his hitting streak to 13 games.
The Bearcats struck first with a run in the third inning. After a leadoff ground out, Lander posted three-consecutive singles to load the bases. GSW starting pitcher Frank Ambrosino struck out the next batter, but an ensuing infield single by Patrick Grady made the score 1-0.
GSW batters struggled all afternoon against Lander starter Cory Hopper. The Hurricanes first hit came with two outs and a man on first in the third inning. John Duran singled to put a runner in scoring position, but Hopper worked out of the jam and went on to face the minimum over the fourth and fifth innings.
Coffey singled to lead off the sixth and advanced to second on a one-out wild pitch. He was left stranded and the 'Canes went 1-2-3 in the seventh and eighth. Hopper struck out the side in the eighth.
The Bearcats had opened the game up in the seventh when they scored four runs on four hits. All runs crossed with two outs. Erick Lunde was able to leg out an infield single, beating Ambrosino to the bag, in a close play that may have turned out to be the most important of the game. Instead of being out of the inning, GSW was down 2-0 and after hitting A.J. Nunziato with a pitch, Grady struck again. This time the No. 3 hitter in the batting order delivered a three-run double to center to give his team a 5-0 lead.
Lander had just begun its barrage.
The Bearcats added five runs in the eighth behind three hits, three walks and a hit batter. The biggest blow came from a three-run double by Nunziato. Not satisfied, Lander added four more runs in the ninth behind five singles, a hit batter and a sacrifice fly.
GSW broke up Lander's shutout in ninth when Duran scored from third on a wild pitch.
Duran finished with two hits in the game to give GSW its first multi-hit individual performance in the series.
Grady went 3-for-6 with a double and five RBIs to lead Lander. Juan Montana was 3-for-5 at the plate and scored three runs. Colby Painter went 3-for-4. Montana and Painter, the No. 8 and No. 9 hitters in LU's batting order, combined to go 14-of-27 (.519) in the series.
Ambrosino (0-1) suffered his first loss in five starts this spring. He tossed seven innings and struck out four. Gray Carden, Cameron Blinn and Chase Burnfin covered the final two frames.
Hopper improved to 2-1 behind eight scoreless innings. He walked two and struck out seven while scattering three hits. Kyle Tate was credited with GSW's only run in his 2/3 of an inning. Ben Runyon was brought on to get the final out.
The Hurricanes return to action on Wednesday when they host Albany State at 5 p.m.

Transfer news: Chelsea's Samuel Eto'o reveals son's wish for him to return to Mallorca
Chelsea striker Samuel Eto'o has revealed his son wants him to return to Real Mallorca and finish his career there.
Last Updated: 21/01/14 10:12am
Eto'o is out of contract in the summer after joining Chelsea on a one-year deal from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala last August, and it remains to be seen where the 32-year-old will be plying his trade next term.
The Cameroon international, who scored a hat-trick in Chelsea's 3-1 Premier League win over Manchester United on Sunday, is unlikely to be short of offers but he does admit his son has been encouraging him to return to Spanish side Mallorca before he hangs up his boots.
"My son has pressured me to finish (my career) there. My son is from Mallorca," he told Spanish radio station Cadena Cope.
"I'll always like Barca, but I prefer Mallorca."
Eto'o made his name at Mallorca where he first shone during a four-year spell from 2000 before earning superstar status at Barcelona, and he still holds the Balearic Island club - who were relegated from La Liga last season and currently lie eighth in the Segunda Division - very dear to his heart.
The three-times Champions League winner also admitted there was plenty he missed about life in Spain.
"I miss everything from there," he added.
"I miss my team-mates, my friends, Barcelona, the weather, the ham, everything..."
After a slow start to his first season in London, speculation is rife after his heroics against United, but the Cameroonian hitman insists he is yet to make any decisions.
"At the moment, it's one season and I intend to enjoy it, then we'll see."

"The Great Escape?"
This was our first cruise and we had a ball! The ship is magnificent, the cabins, even with restricted view because of a lifeboat outside the window, was delightful. The food was fantastic and the crew directly involved with us (cabin crew and waiters) were top class. Having said this, there were a number of negatives which we would prefer to have avoided. The first was the many hours it took for the crew to get us on board. The departure hall at Kiev was a disaster area and all the MSC staff involved were unfriendly and short tempered. We had taken the website advice of arranging our boarding passes on the net but this made not one iota of difference - it took us hours to get on board - it was a total shambles! The next was the aggressiveness of the security staff who policed the re-boarding after the excursions. We had to be x-rayed to make sure we were not carrying any alcohol on board. MSC makes such a huge profit selling beer, wine and spirits that they jealously guard their monopoly over supply. All alcohol is impounded when one boards and is only returned the night before final disembarkation. The security staff seemed to be seconded from the Mossad and one had the impression that they were forbidden to smile. Talking about the alcohol on board, notwithstanding the fact that one was expected to tip around Euro12 per day per person (more about this later) one was slugged a hefty 15% on all purchases. One was encouraged to buy alcohol packs of beer, wines and mineral water at exorbitant prices. The wine quality was below middle of the range but the prices were exceedingly high. Another gripe was that there is no indoor cinema and if one wants to watch a movie on one's cabin TV set, one is charged an unrealistic price. One would think that on a ship this size, that they could provide a cinema. I guess they make too much selling the movies to the cabins. The TV itself becomes almost non-existent when crossing the Atlantic. MSC has not yet invested in satellite TV, or if they have, it doesn't work. Having briefly raised the subject of tipping, I must mention that MSC get their passengers to pay their crew. It is quite blatant. One is required to agree to have one's ship-board account debited by an amount of around Euro12 per person per day. On a 21 day cruise this adds up to a lot of money. At the same time, one is advised that one is not allowed to give any tips. We, along with an extremely large number of other passengers, wrote to the chief purser and advised him that we declined permission to add these gratuities to our account. After a few reminders, we finally received a letter from the Accounts Department confirming that no gratuities would be debited to our account. This opened the way to us making our own minds up as to who we were going to tip and this certainly included the cabin crew and the table waiters who were outstanding. The rest of the crew were mediocre and went about their business in a very impersonal manner. Also, every time there were announcements, including commentary in the theatre, this was done in five languages and this was extremely tiresome. Our biggest gripe was the excursions. We strongly recommend that you DO NOT book any excursions with MSC. It all started with the connection between Hamburg and Kiel. MSC was charging around $90 per person for the journey whereas the public bus, virtually from door to door, cost Euro17 for the two of us. Fortunately we had booked some of our excursions ourselves over the internet and these were a great success at a fraction of the price. Unfortunately we also bought some through MSC. One of these in particular was a disaster - the trip to Rouen from Le Havre. Our bus left the ship almost three hours late and by the time we arrived at Rouen, our guide tried to fit a whole day excursion into two hours. The result was disastrous and resulted in many complaints, in writing, to MSC. After an absolute riot at the purser's counter, MSC agreed, near the end of the cruise, to refund a small amount of the excursion cost to the unhappy participants of that particular excursion. As the amount of the refund was an insult, we refused to accept it and MSC said they could do nothing more as they were only the agents of the tour company. They suggested we write to MSC when we returned home to Australia to see if we could get any where with their Australian representatives from whom we had purchased the excursion. We have, since then, tried to contact them directly and through our Travel Agent. MSC has completely ignored 'phoned messages, the Travel Agent and five letters from us. This was a disgusting dereliction of their responsibility to us and we are still extremely unhappy with our treatment. Having vented these complaints above, I must end by saying that our overall impression was nevertheless very good and we would sail with them again. We are now, however, more informed of what to avoid. We would have three tips, though: 1. Do make sure that you book your excursions from home, over the internet. Much cheaper, more flexible and much more fun. 2. Give them written advices to the effect that they may not add gratuities to your account, notwithstanding anything that you will find in the small print. They cannot enforce this. This gives you the freedom to give gratuities where you feel they have been earned. 2. Unless you really enjoy lots of alcohol and money is no object to you, try to avoid their booze packs. Rather sneak some alcohol aboard at the end of one of your excursions, in a Coke bottle! We look forward, with great anticipation, to our next cruise - even if it is with MSC!Read more

Stefanie Dimmeler appointed as Chief Editor of EMBO Molecular Medicine
Heidelberg, Germany, 1 February 2011 – The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) announces the appointment of Professor Stefanie Dimmeler as Chief Editor of the scientific journal EMBO Molecular Medicine.* Dr. Dimmeler is Professor of Experimental Medicine and Director of the Institute of Cardiovascular Regeneration, Center for Molecular Medicine at the Goethe University Frankfurt.
"We are pleased to welcome Stefanie Dimmeler as chief editor of EMBO Molecular Medicine," said Maria Leptin, EMBO Director. "Stefanie's recognized contributions to molecular cardiology and experimental medicine will serve her well in this lead role on the EMBO editorial team."
Since the first issue in April 2009, EMBO Molecular Medicine is recognized for its global reach and broad scope that result in the publication of high-quality research at the interface of molecular biology and clinical research.
"As a researcher who is dedicated to translational medicine, I am delighted to join the editorial team for EMBO Molecular Medicine," said Stefanie Dimmeler in response to her appointment as chief editor, a role she took on in January 2011. "Scientists need a journal to bridge the worlds of basic and clinical science. To link the strong EMBO reputation in the molecular world with the world of patient studies by reporting novel and exciting therapeutic approaches across disciplines is an effective way to successfully build that bridge."
In her position as chief editor, Stefanie aims to increase the visibility of the journal across all medical disciplines. She dreams that the journal will one day become the ʻbasic science-oriented' equivalent to the New England Journal of Medicine, with a similar impact. "This will be along way to go – but worth the effort!" she said. Professor Dimmeler's research focuses on endothelial cell biology, including signal transduction, apoptotic mechanisms and vascular renewal by circulating endothelial progenitor cells. She has identified novel signalling pathways mediating the synthesis and release of the endothelial protective factor NO (nitric oxide). The scientific discoveries achieved from joint research conducted by Professor Dimmeler and Dr. Andreas M. Zeiher, Professor and Director of the Department of Cardiology, Angiology/Haematology, Nephrology at the Goethe University Frankfurt, have resulted in current clinical trials of human progenitor cells for cardiovascular repair. Her group is presently working on microRNA- based therapeutics for cardiovascular diseases.
After her PhD from the University of Konstanz in Germany, Stefanie Dimmeler completed a fellowship in Experimental Surgery at the University of Cologne and in Molecular Cardiology at the Goethe University Frankfurt. She became Professor of Experimental Medicine at the Institute of Cardiovascular Regeneration, Center for Molecular Medicine, Goethe University Frankfurt in 2001. In 2008, she took on the role of director for the institute.
She is author of more than 200 papers published in highly cited journals and has been invited to speak at more than 250 conferences and seminars. Her research achievements have been widely recognized with prestigious awards that include the Award of the German Heart Foundation in 1998, the Frankel-Preis of the German Cardiac Society in 2000, the Alfried Krupp Award 2002, the Leibniz Award 2005, the Award of the Jung Foundation 2007 and the FEBS award 2006. She presented the George E. Brown Memorial Lecture at the Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association Congress in 2005 and the Basic Science Lecture of the European Society of Cardiology in 2006. She has recently received the GSK research award 2010 for her work on microRNAs.
Professor Dimmeler serves on the editorial boards of a number of journals: The Journal of Clinical Investigation, Circulation, Circulation Research, Basic Research in Cardiology. She is associate editor of Circulation Research and European Heart Journal. She is co- director of the Transatlantic Network of Cardiac Regeneration supported by the Leducq Foundation and member of the Steering Committee of the ʻExcellence Cluster Cardio- Pulmonary System' (ECCPS), a translational research center in the field of vascular and parenchymal heart and lung diseases, funded by the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) in Germany.

Bottom long-lines
A wide variety of benthic and demersal species (those that spend most of their lives on or near the seabed), including cods, haddock and flatfish.
Long-lines consist of short lines (called snoods) carrying hooks, attached at regular intervals to a longer main line that is laid on, or close to, the seabed. Main lines are up to 150 km long and can carry several thousand hooks.
These have a much lower impact on the seabed than other bottom gears such as trawls.
Lost gear that gets snagged on the bottom may continue to 'ghost' fish for sometime, and there is bycatch of unwanted species.

But I had an idea for some posts that I'll try out for as long as it amuses me...
Since I'm not killing it you don't get my goodbye post, which was not really going to be a full on goodbye post. In a way this blog is like that girl (or boy) you are dating and want to break up with but you can't seem to do it... You have every good intention on doing the "it's not you, it's me" thing.
Or you break up and then slide back, maybe even that same day.
I have a feeling that goodbye post would be good, except I didn't actually get enough time to sit down and write it.
It was going to consist of little summaries of posts that I was going to write but never got around to... So I can include them now.
There was the one from way early on when I was pondering how the first circumcision came to be. I know we say it's for hygiene but that's probably a side effect... I also know that it's ritualistic but who was the first person that said "you know what god would really like? He'd like if I cut that tip of my penis off... Seriously he sent me an email." My theory is there was some dad way back in the day who was giving his son a bath, and a knife fell out of his pocket... So the only excuse he could tell his wife for the kid's wiener being all cut up was that god was down with it.
I had another where I was going to blast gender neutral parenting... I don't normally blast the way people raise their kids but I think it's a load of hipster bullshit... We can debate if it's cool or not but people like to know if your kid has a penis or not... That's really all they are asking if you have a boy or girl. You raise your kid as you wish. For instance we didn't want MF to have a bunch of electronic toys so we told friends... And you know what? No electronic toys as gifts. You can do the same with dolls, trucks or whatever... But let people know if your kid is a boy or girl.
That might sound like I'm being a dick but... Well I am. However it was this article about one family that got me thinking.
Here's a quote:
Sasha dresses in clothes he likes -- be it a hand-me-downs from his sister or his brother. The big no-no's are hyper-masculine outfits like skull-print shirts and cargo pants. In one photo, sent to friends and family, Sasha's dressed in a shiny pink girl's swimsuit.
So what they're saying is it's ok for their boy to wear a shiny pink girl's swimsuit but not skull prints or cargos... Or basically their boy can wear super girly clothes but not boy clothes... Fuck you parents of Sasha... Hypocrites.
Our on a less snarky note I was going to write about that time that MF pooed with such a consistency and color that it was like watery split pea soup. I realize that happens to all kids but this first happened about three months ago and I thought that wold happen sooner or not at all... And I had to do the diaper with him standing in the shower... I thought we were lucky with not having that kind of situation.
Then I was going to attach my recipe for split pea soup... I augmented it from the Vegetarian Meat and Potato Cookbook. But I didn't write it... I will tell you the real deal to make the soup good is the croutons... Crusty bread or a good multigrain bread sauted in a ton of olive oil with garlic... Do that till it's crispy and browned.
Then there were a few times I really thought about what kids books are saying, aside from the Peter Rabbit thing.
But I decided I might not full on break up with the blog... I have an idea that I'll post soon. It amuses me, perhaps it will amuse you all... And maybe I'll get time to actually write the snarky posts in my head... Although I don't seem to have time for that now.

The groundhog (Marmota monax), also known as a woodchuck, whistle-pig, or in some areas as a land-beaver, is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots. Other marmots, such as the yellow-bellied and hoary marmots, live in rocky and mountainous areas, but the woodchuck is a lowland creature. It is widely distributed in North America and common in the northeastern and central United States as well as Canada. Groundhogs are found as far north as Alaska, with their habitat extending southeast to Georgia.[2]
The groundhog is the largest sciurid in its geographical range, typically measuring 40 to 65 cm (16 to 26 in) long (including a 15 cm (6 in) tail) and weighing 2 to 4 kg (4 to 9 lb). In areas with fewer natural predators and large amounts of alfalfa, groundhogs can grow to 80 cm (30 in) and 14 kg (31 lb). Groundhogs are well adapted for digging, with short but powerful limbs and curved, thick claws. Unlike other sciurids, the groundhog's spine is curved, more like that of a mole, and the tail is comparably shorter as well—only about one-fourth of body length. Suited to their temperate habitat, groundhogs are covered with two coats of fur: a dense grey undercoat and a longer coat of banded guard hairs that gives the groundhog its distinctive "frosted" appearance.
In the wild, groundhogs can live up to six years, with two or three being average. In captivity, groundhogs are reported to live from 9–14 years. Common predators for groundhogs include wolves, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, bears, large hawks, and dogs. Young groundhogs are often at risk for predation by snakes, which easily enter the burrow.
File:Marmota monax.ogg
Mostly herbivorous, groundhogs primarily eat wild grasses and other vegetation, including berries and agricultural crops, when available.[3] Groundhogs also eat grubs, grasshoppers, insects, snails and other small animals, but are not as omnivorous as many other Sciuridae. Like squirrels, they also have been observed sitting up eating nuts such as shagbark hickory, but unlike squirrels, do not bury them for future use. Groundhogs hydrate through eating leafy plants rather than drinking from a water source.
Groundhogs are excellent burrowers, using burrows for sleeping, rearing young, and hibernating. The average groundhog has been estimated to move approximately 1 m3 (35 cu ft), or 2,500 kg (5,500 lb), of soil when digging a burrow. Though groundhogs are the most solitary of the marmots, several individuals may occupy the same burrow. Groundhog burrows usually have two to five entrances, providing groundhogs their primary means of escape from predators. Burrows are particularly large, with up to 14 metres (46 ft) of tunnels buried up to 1.5 metres (5 ft) underground, and can pose a serious threat to agricultural and residential development by damaging farm machinery and even undermining building foundations.[4]
Groundhogs are one of the few species that enter into true hibernation, and often build a separate "winter burrow" for this purpose. This burrow is usually in a wooded or brushy area and is dug below the frost line and remains at a stable temperature well above freezing during the winter months. In most areas, groundhogs hibernate from October to March or April, but in more temperate areas, they may hibernate as little as three months.[5] To survive the winter, they are at their maximum weight shortly before entering hibernation. They emerge from hibernation with some remaining body fat to live on until the warmer spring weather produces abundant plant materials for food. Groundhogs are mostly diurnal, and are often active early in the morning or late afternoon.[6]
Despite their heavy-bodied appearance, groundhogs are accomplished swimmers and excellent tree climbers when escaping predators or when they want to survey their surroundings.[7] They prefer to retreat to their burrows when threatened; if the burrow is invaded, the groundhog tenaciously defends itself with its two large incisors and front claws. Groundhogs are generally agonistic and territorial among their own species, and may skirmish to establish dominance.[3]
Outside their burrow, individuals are alert when not actively feeding. It is common to see one or more nearly-motionless individuals standing erect on their hind feet watching for danger. When alarmed, they use a high-pitched whistle to warn the rest of the colony, hence the name "whistle-pig".[4][8] Groundhogs may squeal when fighting, seriously injured, or caught by a predator.[8] Other sounds groundhogs may make are low barks and a sound produced by grinding their teeth.[8] When groundhogs are frightened, the hairs of the tail stand straight up, giving the tail the appearance of a hair brush.
Usually groundhogs breed in their second year, but a small proportion may breed in their first. The breeding season extends from early March to mid- or late April, after hibernation. A mated pair remains in the same den throughout the 31–32 day[9] gestation period. As birth of the young approaches in April or May, the male leaves the den. One litter is produced annually, usually containing two to six blind, hairless and helpless young. Young groundhogs are weaned and ready to seek their own dens at five to six weeks of age. Groundhog mothers introduce their young to the wild once their fur is grown in and they can see. They encourage their young to copy their behaviors and during this time may differ from usual routines.
The groundhog prefers open country and the edges of woodland, and it is rarely far from a burrow entrance. Since the clearing of forests provided it with much more suitable habitat, the groundhog population is probably higher now than it was before the arrival of European settlers in North America. Groundhogs are often hunted for sport, which tends to control their numbers. However, their ability to reproduce quickly has tended to mitigate the depopulating effects of sport hunting.[4] As a consequence, the groundhog is a familiar animal to many people in the United States and Canada.
Groundhogs raised in captivity can be socialized relatively easily; however, their aggressive nature can pose problems. Doug Schwartz, a zookeeper and groundhog trainer at the Staten Island Zoo, has been quoted as saying "They're known for their aggression, so you're starting from a hard place. Their natural impulse is to kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out. You have to work to produce the sweet and cuddly."[10]
In the United States and Canada, the yearly February 2nd Groundhog Day celebration has given the groundhog recognition and popularity, as has the movie of the same name. The most popularly known of these groundhogs are Wiarton Willie and Punxsutawney Phil, well kept as part of Groundhog Day festivities in Wiarton, Ontario and Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, respectively. A famous southern groundhog, General Beauregard Lee, is based at the Yellow River Game Ranch outside Atlanta, Georgia.
Woodchucks are used in medical research on hepatitis B-induced liver cancer. When infected with woodchuck hepatitis B virus, they are at 100% risk for developing liver cancer, making them a good model for testing hepatitis B and liver cancer therapies.
Groundhog burrows have been known to reveal at least one archaeological site, the Ufferman Site in the U.S. state of Ohio.[11] Although archaeologists have never excavated the Ufferman Site, numerous artifacts have been found because of the activities of local groundhogs. They favor the loose soil of the esker upon which the site lies, and their many diggings for their burrows have brought to the surface significant numbers of human and animal bones, pottery, and bits of stone.[11]
The etymology of the name woodchuck is unrelated to wood or chucking. It stems from an Algonquian (possibly Narragansett) name for the animal, wuchak. The similarity between the words has led to the common tongue-twister:
Blue Ridge Mountains, Unincorporated area, Fauquier County, Virginia, Virginia, Warren County, Virginia, Shenandoah Valley
West Virginia, Conservation biology, West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, United States, Upshur County, West Virginia

Carlos Quentin took early batting practice and wrapped up his session by hitting several deep drives to right field. Quentin headed to the right field line to run a series of 90-foot sprints at about three-quarters speed and is currently performing more agility drills under the supervision of conditioning director Allen Thomas.
It would be fantastic to get Q! back. But if Kenny starts selling then they better take their time.
Gonzales adds that:
Slugger Carlos Quentin (plantar fasciitis) said he intensified his rehab work before Monday's game and said he has no problems running straight ahead.

FAIRFAX, Va. – UMBC freshmen Gregor Sporlein (Bamberg, Germany/Clavius-Gymnasium) and Emily Escobedo (New Rochelle, N.Y./Maria Regina) each earned silver medals as the UMBC swimming and diving program wrapped up competition on day three of the Patriot Invitational, Saturday at George Mason's Aquatic and Fitness Center.
The UMBC men finished the three-day invitational in third-place out of eight teams with 713 pts, while the Retriever women place sixth out of nine squads with 354.5 pts. George Mason swept the men's and women's competitions with the Patriot men scoring 963 pts. and the GMU women winning with 923 pts.
Sporlein and Escobedo each missed out on a gold medal by less than a second in their respective races. In the 100 free finals, Sporlein touched in with a season-best time of 45.71, just behind Mason's Joey Kelly (45.37). Junior Lauri Kaei (Harjumma, Estonia/Tallinn Secondary Science) took sixth in the event with a finals time of 46.83. Escobedo, meanwhile, clocked in a season-best of 2:17.38 in the 200 breast, barely back of Richmond's Mali Kobelja (2:17.36).
Senior Talor Tadena (Orangevale, Calif./Bella Vista) picked up a gold medal on the final day of competition, sharing the top spot in the 100 free. After finishing second in the prelims by .01, Tadena tied with Mason's Paige Impink for the gold medal with a time of 51.25.
For the men, senior Mohamed Hussein (Cairo, Egypt/Victory College) completed his individual haul from the three-day meet with a silver medal in the 200 back (1:49.46). Classmate Johan Rohtla (Tallinn, Estonia/Tallinn Secondary Science) took fourth in the event with a time of 1:51.19.
In a closely contested distance free event, junior Rob Breen (Danvers, Mass./St. John's Prep) placed fourth with a 1,650 time of 16:14.56, less than three seconds back of race winner Dylan Rasnick from American. Freshman Andrew McKissick (Ellicott City, Md./Mount St. Joseph's) finished sixth in the race with a time of 16:18.77.
In the final event of the weekend, the UMBC men's 400 free relay team of Hussein, Kaei, senior Evan Carey (Ponte Vedra, Fla./Grand Island), and Sporlein garnered a bronze medal with a time of 3:03.60.
UMBC now has the remainder of the 2013 calendar year off from competition before starting 2014 with a home dual meet against Howard on Jan. 11.

As a Linux system administrator, you will need to find files in directories all over the file system. Especially those coming from a Windows background, often lost themselves while navigating file system.
Linux and other UNIX (BSD) OS offers an excellent collection of utilities, which can be use to finding the files and executables, remember you cannot memorize all the commands and files 😉
Commands to help you navigate:
- file: Determines file types
- which: Locates an executable in your PATH
- whereis: Locates binaries and man page
- find: Find the file
- grep: Search for text/string in the named file name
- strings: Find text string in a binary file
The which command
It is useful to locate a command. Some opertating system such as Solaris/HP-UX (even linux) have multiple homes. So you wanna find out which version you are going to use by order of the directories in your PATH variable. Try out following commands:
$ which ls
$ which vi
$ which vim
The file command
You would like to find out if a command is a shell script or a binary file or simply cannot recognize file by its extension then use file command to determine file type.
$ file /usr/sbin/useradd
/usr/sbin/useradd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
Let us try another example:
# file /etc/shadow
/etc/shadow: ASCII text
But wait sec, you don't have to type full command path:
$ file $(which adduser)
/usr/sbin/adduser: perl script text executable
The whereis command
It locates binaries and man pages. When you get message command not found then use whereis command to locate binary file. For example ifconfig command:
$ ifconfig
bash: ifconfig: command not found
Now locate ifconfig binary, enter:
$ whereis -b ifconfig
ifconfig: /sbin/ifconfig
So let us try the full path, enter:
$ /sbin/ifconfig
The grep command
The grep command can search for text or strings such as IP address, domain names and lots of other stuff inside a text file. Often new Linux sys admin forgets to configuration file names. However, you can use grep to find out those configuration file name. For example, find out the file containing IP address 192.168.1.1
# grep -R "192.168.1.1" /etc/* | less
Find out kernel driver module bttv configuration file name, so that you can remove the driver:
# grep -R "bttv" /etc/* | less<
The strings Commands
The grep command is useful to search a text file, if you would like to find text string in a binary file then use strings command.
# strings /usr/bin/users
You might think this is stupid idea to search inside binary file for text string. Well, no it is not a stupid idea. For example, you would like to quickly find out if internet service supports tcpd access control facility via /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files (read as tcp wrappers) or not. Let us find out if sshd server support tcpd or not:
# strings $(which sshd)| grep libwrap
libwrap.so.0 libwrap refuse returns
The find Command
Use find command to find the files. Find all files belonging to the user charvi:
# find / -user charvi
Remove all core dump files
# find / -name core -exec rm -i{}\;
Please see more find command examples here and here. For more info please read the man pages of find, grep, file, which.

HistoryIn May 1940, Berkeley voters passed a $125,000 bond measure to acquire property to develop a Civic Center Plaza. The design included contributions from many of Berkeley's most noted architects and landscape architects, and labor was furnished by the federal Works Projects Administration (WPA). The electrically illuminated fountain set in a flagstone terrace was a gift to the City of Berkeley from the City of San Francisco after the Golden Gate Exposition closed. The City's first playground, located behind City Hall west of the Civic Center, was moved to Civic Center Park in the 1930s when the Hall of Justice was built. A new "Tiny Tots" playground was opened to the public on May 18, 1948.
The park was designated the Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park in 1983 in honor of the slain civil rights giant. (The park had also been known as Provo Park during the years of the anti-Vietnam War movement, after the progressive political group of that name which was started in Amsterdam.) An Urban Park and Recreation Recovery (UPARR) rehabilitation grant provided approximately $74,000 in 1983–1984 to renovate the tot area, lawn, shrubs, benches, and pathways. The park is scheduled for a complete renovation in coming years using funds from Measure S, a bond measure passed in the mid-1990s for downtown improvements.
Portable toilet available; public restroom in southwest annex of Civic Center building open during park festivities and daytime park hours
No Off-Street Parking
Acreage2.77 acres 120,700 sq. ft.
Pathways are wheelchair accessible; upper terrace plaza and fountain terrace are not easily accessible.

- Electrical recycling refers to recycling of light and heavy electrical appliances.They are mostly used in households, small & medium industries.
- Large household appliances e.g. fridges, cookers, microwaves, washing machines and dishwashers
- Small household appliances e.g. vacuum cleaners, irons, toasters and clocks
- Consumer equipment e.g. radios, televisions, hi-fi equipment, and musical instruments
Environmental impact
Electrical items contain a range of materials that can be separated for recycling and used in new products, such as plastics and precious metals including gold and copper. All this saves resources and energy.If electrical items end up in landfill, hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination harming wildlife and human health.
Our Strategy
The electrical waste is separated by our qualified employees using an erudite shredding system, separating ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals and non-metals. We aim to ensure that as much waste material as possible is diverted from landfill. This treating system offers an operative solution for the recycling of all domestic and commercial electrical equipment in compliance with Indian Environmental Standards. We remove recyclable materials from the waste stream and treated materials ultimately re-enter the manufacturing process. Recycled materials used in built-up offer a reduced carbon trail
