Photos show toddlers with marijuana; Leslie County women charged
Photos of children with marijuana cigarettes in their mouths have led to charges against two Leslie County residents, and more charges are likely, the investigating officer said Monday.
One of the children photographed with a joint was a 1-year-old boy, and the other was a boy 3 to 5 years old, Leslie County sheriff's Deputy Adrian Cornett said.
"It was ridiculous," Cornett said.
The photos came to light after relatives of the children took the images to a business in Hyden to be developed. On Friday afternoon, the children's grandmother and other relatives went to the business and asked to cancel the order, but the photos had been developed, Cornett said.
The family left without the photos, which "doesn't make sense," Cornett said.
Store employees then looked at the photos and saw the images of children with marijuana cigarettes in their mouths, photos of children handling marijuana buds and other photos showing marijuana, Cornett said.
In some photos, it appeared that adults were trying to light the joint in a child's mouth, Cornett said.
Store employees called the sheriff's office. Cornett viewed them and took the photos as evidence. Cornett went to the children's home with child-welfare workers.
Cornett said police found 24 marijuana plants around the home of the children's grandmother, Beth Ann Hensley, 51, who lives on Lower Bad Creek Road.
Police also found processed marijuana in a plastic bag, Cornett said.
Hensley claimed responsibility for the pot. She was charged with trafficking, possession and cultivation of marijuana, Cornett said.
The children's mother, Tracy Hensley, was charged with unlawful transaction with a minor and child endangerment, Cornett said.
Authorities removed five children, ages 1 to 7, from Tracy Hensley's home and placed them with a relative, Cornett said.
He said some of photos were taken at the grandmother's house. Others were taken at the nearby mobile home of an uncle of the children.
There will be more arrests in the case, Cornett said.
He said he had never seen a similar case in 35 years as a police officer.
"It's beyond me," he said.

We've been recording campaigns since 2012, releasing new episodes every week, as an anthology of stories.
Most of our campaigns, or adventures, are released as a four-part self-contained campaign. Each game plays host to a different collection of players and GMs ranging from our personal friends like Super Villain Conal Macbeth, "Big Mike" from the 404's Comedy Troupe, Steve "The Blind Gamer" Saylor, Derek "The Bard" Burrow, Mike "The Birdman"Dodd, and to notable guests like Mark Meer (MASS EFFECT, VERSUS VALERIE, TINY PLASTICMEN), Kyle Hebert (WRECK IT RALPH, DRAGONBALL Z) and Ajay Fry (INNERSPACE/SPACE CHANNEL).
We've played with as many RPG rulesets as we can find including D20, Open D6, Palladium RPG, Apocalypse World, and Fate. Our settings have included original creations in fantasy, science fiction, survival horror, and teen angst/melodrama (yes, really) all the way to familiar settings like Star Wars, The Matrix, Pokemon, the DC Universe and cult favourites like Spirit of the Century, Pathfinder, and Paranoia.
When it comes to tabletop RPGs our collection of Player Characters (PCs) and Game Masters (GMs) and their combined experience is unparalleled. We have shared hundreds of hours of character stories, dice rolls, and the random nonsense and joy that can only be achieved by the interactive storytelling that tabletop RPGs provide.

New Pope Faces Old Accusations in Argentina's Dirty War
(BUENOS AIRES) -- Human rights activists say Pope Francis, formerly Father Jorge Mario Bergoglio, may have turned a blind eye to some atrocities, then later denied knowing about those atrocities despite his own testimony to the contrary and that ultimately as head of the Catholic church in Argentina, he did little to open the church's archives to reveal the truth about its complicity.
The testimony of Argentine war criminals in tribunals showed that Catholic priests and chaplains played a central role in the torture and murder of dissidents by blessing torture chambers and absolving troops of their sins after they had thrown dozens of bound and drugged dissidents from a plane into the Rio de la Plata.
There were also allegations that Father Bergoglio knew where two of his Jesuit priests were held and tortured for five months by the junta, but did little to help them.
On Friday, Rev. Federico Lombardi rejected all those charges, saying instead that "there have been many declarations of how much he did for many people to protect them from the military dictatorship."
Pope Francis has never been implicated directly in any actions, but many in Argentina who support him, including 1980 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Adolfo Perez Esquivel, said that "he was not complicit in the dictatorship but he lacked courage to accompany us in our struggle."
The controversy has dogged Pope Francis throughout his entire career. As late as 2010, in a case brought against the church, he was grilled by attorney Myriam Bregman about what he knew about the eradication of almost the entire the de la Cuarda family.
Another human-rights attorney, Luis Zamora, questioned then Cardinal Bergoglio about the existence of church records that among aspects could potentially help reunite missing children with their actual families.
"Zamoro; Does any archive exist in the CEA (Episcopal Conference of Argentina) Bergoglio: I suppose yes, but I don't know Zamoro: is that archive under your jurisdiction Bergoglio: The Central Archive of the CEA is under the jurisdiction of the CEA Zamoro: And who presides over the CEA? Bergoglio: I do"
Bergoglio said he would possibly look into the records, but the Catholic Church has yet to hand over any documents about their role in the Dirty War.

Obama's post-convention bounce
President Obama has seen a bounce in the polls following the Democratic National Convention, moving ahead by several points in two key tracking polls. The boost in the president's poll standing was in contrast to his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, who saw no statistical change in his poll numbers after the Republican National Convention.
As of Monday morning the Rasmussen Presidential Tracking Poll has Obama leading Romney 49 percent to 45 percent. Rasmussen also reported that the president had made significant gains among voters aged 40 to 64.
Most remarkable, however, was the president's sudden surge in the Rasmussen approval rating poll, moving to 52 percent approval. Obama had not scored that high in the tracking poll since January 2011. The approval rating boost came despite Friday's disappointing jobs report, showing 96,000 jobs added in August, less than expected, and despite the withering TV attack ads the president faces in swing states. And this comes in a poll that has tended to trend a bit to the political right as compared to other polls.
The Gallup Tracking poll showed a similar surge, with Obama moving to a 49 percent to 44 percent advantage over Romney.
This all suggests the message the Democrats put forth in their convention — that the president's leadership saved the nation from slipping into a depression and that patience is warranted when it comes to recovering from such a serious economic crisis — gained some traction.
This is the point in the 2008 election when Obama began to pull away from the Republican candidate, Sen. John McCain, but that seems very unlikely this time. Republicans, however they feel about Romney, are united in their desire to remove Obama from the presidency. There are no indications the economy will change substantially between now and the election, and rising gas prices are causing further voter angst. The race will likely tighten again in the coming weeks and the three October presidential debates could prove critical.
What is most remarkable, perhaps, is that the president leads in the polls despite heading into such tough economic headwinds. Those in the Romney campaign should be asking themselves what they are doing wrong.
OK, R, here is the CNN info:
A new survey indicates President Barack Obama moved up four points following the Democratic National Convention last week, and now has a six point advantage over his Republican challenger Mitt Romney. According to a CNN/ORC International Poll (PDF) released Monday, 52% of likely voters nationwide back the president, compared to 46% for Romney. Just before the convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, Obama was tied with Romney 48%-48%.

Underground heating oil tanks can pose many potential problems to both home buyers and sellers. They have been the source of many environmental problems such as contamination of surrounding soil and ground water.
Leaks are generally caused by the rust inside underground tanks or by an electrical condition sparked by electric utility lines.
Buyers should always have the tank inspected to make sure that it is structurally sound. Buyers who do not want an underground fuel tank can arrange for an above ground tank to be installed in the basement and the underground tank to be shut off. Cleanup of any leaks will also have to be taken care of.
For buyers, the underground heating oil tank should be written in the sales contract. For sellers, your lawyer should make sure that the description and condition of the underground heating oil tank is accurate and up-to-date.

Department of Modern Languages and Comparative Literature
The Tier II Humanities' Literature requirement is 3 credits, and the choices are as follows:
CMP/ENG 2800 Great Works of Literature I
The study of divergent modes of expression and cultures serves to broaden students' perspectives and deepen both personal and worldly understanding. Language students not only develop an oral and written command of the studied language but also gain a comprehensive knowledge of the civilizations and cultures where the language is spoken. Because the study of foreign languages and literature is the foundation for critical thinking and communication, the study of modern languages and comparative literature prepares students for success on many levels.
Students studying another language learn by comparison about the structures and syntax of their native language. This has been proven to develop students' native language communication skills. In addition, our foreign literature and culture courses introduce students to diversity of thought and experience, teaching them how to synthesize and analyze literary texts and socio-cultural documents. In the process students gain perspective and judgment about their own culture.
Our department believes the study of modern languages and their comparative literature components are essential parts of success in contemporary society. The experienced and diverse mentors of our faculty help native and non-native students access other cultures and gain essential communication skills in targeted languages. And we define success not only in the ability to speak, read, and write the language of another culture, but also in the intellectual development of the whole individual.

'Inflation' Is Bad Word at Dow Party
The Dow's close doesn't look anything like a record after the economists get through with it. E.S. Browning joins The News Hub to explain why economists insist on adjusting for something stock analysts generally ignore: inflation. Photo: Getty Images.

Unhinged Mel Gibson Phone Call Reveals He's Run Out of Money
"You know what mean is now, don't you?" Mel Gibson taunts ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva in the latest phone recording. Then, a revelation: "I don't have any fucking money... I have to sell my box at the Lakers game."
[Warning: The recording contains lots of profanity, so turn down your speakers or put your headphones on. Or don't listen.]
[There was a video here]
In Gibson's newest rant, he blames ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva for running out of cash: "I don't have any fucking money! I have to support you and everybody else! I have to sell paintings, I have to sell my box at the Lakers game." She protests it's not her fault he has to "feed an army."
They fight over who is the worse parent and Grigorieva says, "You're the meanest person I know." Breathing raggedly, he screams his response: "Yeah, you know what mean is now, don't you? I like to show you what mean really is, bitch, cunt, whore, golddigger." [Radar]

Carlos Aguilar will take a slender lead into the final round of the ALLIANZ Côtes d'Armor Bretagne, where he is bidding to secure his debut Challenge Tour title.
Aguilar has won twice in a ten year professional career, on the domestic Tour in his native Spain and the Satellite EPD Tour, but victory in this week's €160,000 tournament would surpass all his previous achievements.
After a level par round of 70 the 29 year old from Alicante remained on five under par, two strokes clear of Denmark's Jeppe Huldahl, whose 67 was one of only two sub-par scores on a windswept third day in the Bretagne region of northern France.
In contrast to the second round, when he racked up four successive birdies, Aguilar struggled on the front nine at Golf Blue Green de Pléneuf Val André, turning in 36 to relinquish his overnight lead.
But the back nine was a different story for the Spaniard, who notched three birdies in four holes from the ninth. A dropped shot at the 15th hole was cancelled out by a gain at the 17th, but a three-putt bogey on the last green gave Huldahl hope of overturning Aguilar's advantage.
Aguilar said: "Both putts on the 18th were a misread, as I thought they would break from the right. But overall I've got no complaints, because it was a tough day and I coped quite well. The long shots were quite difficult to judge, because the wind was stronger than yesterday and from a different direction, and it was also cooler. But hopefully the weather tomorrow will be better.
"I will have to play my best to have a chance to win, because the standard on the Challenge Tour is very high. But I can't worry about what anyone else is doing – I just have to play my own game. I had some nice messages from friends and family after my round yesterday and I'm sure I'll have some more today, so hopefully I can make them happy. But it doesn't depend on them – it's all down to me now."
The lowest score of the day was compiled by Huldahl who, despite the tricky cross-winds, carded just a solitary bogey in his three under par round of 67.
The Dane is a European Tour champion, and will return to the scene of his win when he competes at the ISPS Handa Wales Open at the end of the month. But his focus this season will be predominantly on the Challenge Tour, as he bids to secure a swift return to the top tier having relinquished his card last term.
Huldahl blamed poor putting and a wayward driver for his 158th place finish in The 2011 Race to Dubai, but his all-round game was in great shape as he collected four birdies to climb 14 places up the leaderboard from his overnight position of tied 15th.
The 29 year old from Copenhagen will now go in search of his second Challenge Tour title, having won the 2008 Lexus Open en route to finishing tenth in the Challenge Tour Rankings.
He said: "The wind changed direction today, so all the tricky holes were playing into the wind. But I held it together nicely, and managed to keep it in play for the whole round except for the sixth hole, where I found the rough off the tee and didn't manage to get up and down. But one bogey in those conditions is pretty good going.
"It's a good position to be in going into the final day, and I'm probably one of the more experienced players this week so hopefully I can use that to my advantage. Obviously last year I was disappointed to lose my card, but I used the long off-season to put in some practice, and I feel much better about my game now."

ORLEANS, Mass., June 30 (UPI) -- Just a couple weeks into summer and the first great white shark has been spotted near one of Cape Cod's beaches. The approximately 14-foot female white shark -- dubbed "Ping" -- was observed near Nauset Beach in Orleans, Massachusetts.
It's the first sighting by researchers with the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, a group that recently embarked on a multi-year study of the fearsome predator. The study is a partnership between the nonprofit and the state's Division of Marine Fisheries, who want to know more about the health and behavior of the species population -- how many return from year to year and where do they hang out?
"She was incredible, very, very slowly moving across the water," said conservancy researcher Cynthia Wigren, who was aboard the observatory boat that trailed Ping for more than an hour. "It was easy to stay with her."
The NOAA recently released a report suggesting great white populations have rebounded dramatically on both coasts thanks to a concerted effort by federal and local authorities to conserve sharks and their prey.
More and more seals have been observed along the New England coast over the years. And where there are seals, there are usually sharks.
Although the new sighting -- and beachside signs warning of lurking great whites -- aroused a bit of a alarm among Cape Cod locals, they must take it in stride and with a little perspective.
Local Desmond Curran told reporters there's no reason to be concerned, "because I think there's a better chance of me crashing on the way home today."
"Sharks do live in the ocean. So when you go out in the ocean you take the chance of sharing the same water is a shark," said Wigren. "I think you're the biggest thing is to really pay attention to the signs and to listen to the lifeguards."
Only a handful of people have been killed by sharks along the Eastern seaboard in recorded history.

The crowds keep on coming at the Festival of Arts.
Two events last weekend brought in a record number of visitors — a fashion show and a meet and greet with "Criminal Minds" cast members.
The upcoming Acura Celebrity Event on Saturday, hosted by singer-songwriter Richard Marx, is also expected to lure plenty of visitors to the festival, which ends its season Wednesday.
Re(f)use to Runway
The popular Festival Runway Fashion show, in its third year, drew its biggest crowd ever Saturday.
"Festival Runway Fashion has quickly become one of our most popular special events," said Susan Davis, festival director of special events. "Participating artists are competing for cash prizes, but really what they want are the bragging rights!"
The runway show features designs by festival exhibitors created from at least 80% reused, recycled or reclaimed materials.
Artist Brad Elsberry won the first prize of $1,000 for the second year in a row. His bridal gown and train was made of clear, plastic dry-cleaner bags with a strapless, backless bodice overlaid with "lace" made from white metal hangers. Even the bouquet was recycled — it was fashioned from laundry tickets and receipts.
Erika Baldwin, who modeled the gown, unfastened the train on the runway to show off a mini-skirted dress that would be suitable for a wedding reception.
Second place went to Adam Neely for "Novella," which was inspired by fashion magazines, the pages of which were folded into more than 1,000 fans that cascaded down the skirt. Alicia Chavex was the model.
Janet Lewis and Elizabeth McGhee won third place for their "Elizabethan Punk" design that re-recycled corks used in their 2010 entry. McGhee modeled.
Brittany Ryan's entry mimicked her metal sculptures with gold-painted paper bags. Jessica Arsenian was the model.
Sophie Higuchi modeled Dagmar Chaplin's "Sea Nymph."
Robert Schock used items found at any construction site — caution tape, a parking cone and black plastic bags — to create his entry, worn by Laura Lavor.
Yael Resnick modeled "Singing in the Rain," created by John Tolle from a shower curtain and scrunchy body puff.
Lou Bortone used duct tape, an old sheet and shade cloth to create "Festival Diva." Leah Bortone modeled.
"I love this event on a million levels, but mostly because it showcases the incredible talent of our artist," Davis said.
The fashions were judged by actress Marlee Matlin, Laguna Beach Arts Commissioner Suzi Chauvel and Nordstrom General Manager Robert Evans.
"Extra" correspondent Jerry Penacoli hosted.
Meet and Greet
Fans of the CBS show "Criminal Minds" flocked to the festival Saturday evening to get a close-up of the cast members.
More than 250 people were able to get autographs signed and their pictures taken with the cast in the little more than an hour allotted before they were whisked off to attend the Pageant of the Masters.
Additional fans clustered around the roped-off area where Paget Brewster, Joe Mantegna, Matthew Gray Gubler and A.J. Cook gave every indication of being as excited to be there as the fans were to see them, popping up from their seats to have their pictures taken or give a hug.
"The Pageant of the Masters is one of the highlights of my summer," Mantegna said. "I've been attending for the last 30 years, and I will be coming for the next 30, at least."
The meet and greet was the second visit to the festival for Cook and Brewster, and the third for Gubler, who was sporting a stylish haircut, but not the overalls he wore last year.
"Unfortunately, they were at the dry cleaners," he said between high-fives with fans.
Brewster was amazed at the crowd, which ranged in age from a gray-haired lady in a wheelchair, to a toddler in a stroller.
"It's a really creepy show, and we have 10-year-olds come up and say it's their favorite," Cook said, referring to "Criminal Minds."
Red carpet event
The red carpet will be rolled out Saturday.
Richard Marx will host the Acura Celebrity Event, which will include a celebrity stroll on the carpet, a concert and a raffle drawing for one lucky guest to win an Acura ZDX worth $50,000.
Celebrities will begin arriving at 5 p.m. Television and movie actors expected to attend include Camryn Manheim, Jo Frost, Robert David Hall, Vanessa Branch, Joseph Mascolo, Dorian Harewood, Richard Karn, Brenda Strong andMarion Ross.
Marx will sing some of his hit songs such as "Hold On to the Nights" at a concert scheduled for 7 p.m. He will conclude the performance by pulling the winning ticket for the Acura.
"Acura has been incredibly generous," said Sharbie Higuchi, festival marketing director, "and they deserve a great amount of recognition for their dedication to the arts."

I'm a little overwhelmed by all the e-mails I received about the Auction Dinner. I was so happy to share the menu with you and some of the fun touches from the dinner. Thanks to all of you who let me know how much you enjoyed it.
Fall means knitting to me and this year I've become obsessed with doing mittens (it used to be scarves). I just finished these purple and black Delphine mittens that a local shop owner here designed. Was so much fun. Knitting is sort of my Zen place.
Fall also means lots of squash and I have my favorite Butternut Squash Soup recipe to share with you. I love it because it has a hint of Sherry in it (although you can certainly omit it) and I top it with a little crispy pancetta. It's good for a couple of days in the fridge, so you can make a nice big batch of it and have it the next day. It would be perfect for your Thanksgiving table if you want a nice fall soup to serve.

This soup can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.
Melt the butter and olive oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and sage and saute one minute. Add squash cubes and saute 5 minutes. Add the sherry, broth and cayenne pepper. Cover and simmer on low for about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, fry the pancetta in a little skillet until nicely crisped. Drain on a paper towel.
Puree soup, either with an immersion blender right in the pot, or transfer to a food processor or blender. Return to pot and stir in cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve in bowls with pancetta on top.

The world's largest eco-city is rising from wastelands in China and our environment columnist is there to get a first-hand look.
It takes less than an hour on the new high-speed train line to travel the 150 kilometres (93 miles) southeast from Beijing to Tanggu, the dirty coastal port town of nearby Tianjin – the world's fifth biggest port. Here, you can see signs of the past and present: fine colonial architecture built by European settlers a century ago nestle among the gleaming modern high-rises. But for a glimpse of the future, I am driving a few minutes up the coast from Tanggu to see a city so new that most of it is still being built.
Few things can be certain about the future, as philosophers wiser than I have pointed out, but one trend that is likely to continue is urbanisation. The Anthropocene will be populated by city dwellers, in contrast to the rural demography of the past millennia, and this has profound implications for human society.
Nowhere will this be felt more keenly than in China, home to more than 1.3 billion people. Urbanisation has been one of the most important factors in China's phenomenal economic growth and rapid industrialisation over the past three decades, providing essential labour and new consumers. More than half the population now lives in cities, which at 690 million is double the entire US population. In 1980, less than 20% of the Chinese population lived in cities. By 2030, this number is predicted to rise to 75%.
This rapid rise in urbanisation brings with it tremendous challenges – people need housing, infrastructure, water, food and jobs, as well as rising pollution and social inequality issues. In a typically top-down style, the Chinese government is tackling all of these at once: the biggest polluters have been moved out of the biggest cities (inland into rural areas or other cities), slum populations (here, called "urban villages") have dropped from 37% to 28% since 2000, and China is in the midst of a building frenzy.
Visit any city in the country – there are over 650 of them – and you will soon be negotiating a route around a noisy, dusty construction site, beneath towering cranes. Much of this construction is taking place in existing cities, converting low-rise to high-rise to pack more people into the unlimited vertical space. But in the place that I am visiting, planners have started from scratch.
Building a blueprint
China, like several other countries, is exploring the creation of sustainable urban areas, or "ecocities" as they are known. Around the world, ecocities are beginning to emerge from the drawing board, from Masdar City in Abu Dhabi to PlanIT Valley in Portugal. Aimed at being the world's largest of its type, Tianjin Eco-city is a collaborative project between the Chinese and Singaporean government that will house 350,000 people in a low-carbon, green environment around half the size of Manhattan by 2020. All going well, the team hope its model for building a sustainable city will provide the blueprint for future urbanization efforts in China, and other countries.
As I approach the city under an ever-present pall of filthy air, across a wasteland of contaminated soil and water, I have my reservations about the Eco-city's success. The site chosen for the project was an industrial dumping ground for toxic waste, barren salt flats abutting one of the world's most polluted seas. This was deliberate, says Ho Tong Yen, head of Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city Development and Investment, the firm charged with building the city. "In the past, so-called ecocities have been built in ecologically important areas or on useful arable land. We wanted to show that it's possible to clean up a polluted area and make it useful and liveable."
The clean-up took the best part of three years, and included the development of a newly patented technology that removes the heavy metals from a central reservoir – soon to be a boating lake. This hard graft looks like it has paid off. I enter the part-complete city down an avenue lined with fragrant trees and solar-energy panels. Among the newly planted saplings I spot five wind turbines and solar-powered street lighting. One-fifth of the energy used here will be emission-free – from solar, wind and, as I discover on a visit to the almost finished international school, from ground-source heat pumps, which use the temperature difference in the ground for energy.
Walking up stairs in the school, I trigger another innovation into action: Dutch-owned Philips is trying out its new sound- and motion-sensitive lights, which default to off unless the switch hears or feels someone approach. Buildings will have smart controls, automatically raising and lowering window blinds to regulate light and temperature, for example. Other innovations include a pneumatic municipal waste collection system, produced by the Swedish company Envac, which will eliminate the need for refuse trucks, and the authorities will be allowing General Motors to road-test the next-generation of its driverless EN-V (Electric Networked-Vehicle) cars.
Sustainable living
In March, the first 60 families moved into the city's residential buildings, all of which are designed to a minimum green buildings standard, including water-saving sanitary fittings, insulated walls and double-glazed windows, as well as a south-facing orientation to optimise passive heat. Such techniques may be standard in some countries, but in China they are rare.
Also rare here is the emphasis on liveability. Parks and green spaces are planned around the city, and reed beds have been created to attract birdlife and help clean the water. Lanes and alleyways have been strung through the usual grid layout of big blocks, meaning communities can develop. Everywhere is walkable or cycle-able, so that people do not feel socially excluded from areas. Free recreation facilities will be provided within 500m (1,640ft) walk of anywhere.
A green spine, called the "eco valley" runs through the heart of the city with cycle routes and a tram. Residents will be encouraged to use regular low-carbon transport or walk, rather than driving. Cars won't be banned, Ho says. "We don't want to create obstacles for people, but rather make it conducive to use alternatives." Niche designs that have focused blindly on eco-technologies have not worked, he says. "This eco-city will be practical – it will work."
To that end, the city is setting itself up as a hub for green tech enterprise and creative industries. Six hundred companies have already set up shop, including an animation studio that is powered by its own energy station, incorporating solar PV walls as well as roof panels.
Water provision is one of the bigger challenges in this naturally arid area. Tap water will be drinkable and piped in, although the city is planning a possible desalination plant too. A lot of effort is being put into conserving water and recycling it for irrigation and toilet flushing. "The lakes and water pipes have been lined in clay or concrete to prevent salt water incursion, and all waste water is being sent to plant for anaerobic biodigestion," says Ary de Koning of the EU-China River Basin Management Programme, who is advising the city on water issues. "The methane emitted in the digestion process is then used to produce energy," he says.
It certainly feels like a more pleasant place to live than the traffic choked, polluted cities further inland, even at this incomplete stage. And unlike the majority of planned ecocities, this one will actually be finished and already has residents. But whether it lives up to its green credentials will depend in part on the type of society it nurtures.
It strikes me that social inclusivity is perhaps Tianjin's most novel and important mission. One fifth of the housing will be subsidised for low-wage workers and their families. "We want to avoid the idea that this is a haven for rich people or second-homers from Beijing," says Ho. "Being green isn't a luxury, it's an affordable necessity. This city should be a practical, replicable, scalable model for elsewhere in China and the world."

Name: Brad Morrison
Position: C
Shoots: Left
Current Team: Prince George Cougars (WHL)
Hockey's Future Profile: N/A
http://thehockeywriters.com/5-unders...the-nhl-draft/A clever, dexterous forward who plays with jump and jam. Possesses the speed and cunning to create separation, and has the individual skills and puckhandling ability to make the best use of any time and space earned. Works hard in the corners, but can get rubbed out when not careful. All-in-all, a speedy, skilled forward who can carry and direct plays with ease.
At 5′ 11″ this centerman for the Prince George Cougars would not ordinarily be classed as undersized. The issue with Morrison is his weight: he's around 160 lbs. As you might expect he's a fantastic skater who has explosive speed, and he can produce on the scoresheet, registering 23-26-49 points in 67 WHL games this past season.
Current StatisticsBrad Morrison is a speedy and dynamic forward for the Prince George Cougars…is most definitely one of the fastest pure skaters from the WHL in this year's NHL draft class…regularly catches defenders on their heels and flat-footed due to his quick bursts to the outside…has extremely good acceleration and can get up to top speed in only a few strides…looks light on his skates while he flies around, having the ability to change directions and make defenders miss…skates with a slightly hunched stance, making him look much smaller than he's listed…despite his lack of size and weight he doesn't back down…plays an aggressive style of offensive game and excels in traffic, going to the crease and to tough areas…receives the puck well and has purely skilled hands…shoots the puck well…wrister is hard and accurate…does a good job getting shots away despite traffic and sticks…can shoot in stride…often follows his shot to the net, looking for rebounds…has good hand-eye co-ordination on deflections and for knocking elevated passes out of mid-air…an extremely smart offensive player who is dangerous off the rush and off the cycle due to his ability to take advantage of holes in a defence…does suffer a bit from tunnel vision at times, failing to use his linemates as well as he could…seemed to be a bit selfish at times when the puck was on his stick and I think making that one extra pass might do wonders for his game and give him another element of offensive punch…owns a relentless motor off the puck…attacks in situations when he doesn't have the puck…isn't a super strong defensive player but he isn't simply running around chasing the play…his good hands and quick stick help him defensively, making up for his lack of mass…while he may not have a boatload of defensive value to his game currently, his speed and work ethic could make him a decent two-way forward and penalty killer in certain situations if he really works at that part of his game over the next 3-4+ years

MGH performs its first hand transplant
SUCCESS STORY: Kinan speaks with journalists as his fiancée, Carrie Pratt, and Cetrulo look on.
Hope. Tenacity. Perseverance.
Those are three key elements Joe Kinan uses to describe his attitude and outlook on life. A survivor of the devastating 2003 Rhode Island nightclub fire, the 43-year-old has seen his share of difficult times and complex surgeries – 123 in the past decade – all to address the substantial injuries he sustained in the blaze.
On Oct. 26, 19 days after becoming the MGH's first hand transplant recipient, Kinan showed how his unwavering commitment to having a positive attitude has paid off – he wiggled the fingers on his left hand for the first time in public. Flanked by television cameras and journalists who attended a media event following his discharge from the hospital, Kinan thanked the dedicated MGH staff who have cared for him throughout the years.
"Joe has been incredibly inspiring to all of his doctors and nurses, and his courage is astounding," said Curtis L. Cetrulo Jr., MD, of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the new Hand Transplantation Service, who led the transplant team. "We're just so very glad that we could offer this procedure to him."
The 15-hour surgery was the first of its kind at the MGH, and Cetrulo expressed his appreciation to the many staff members who helped make the groundbreaking procedure a reality. While Kinan must take immunosuppressive drugs for the rest of his life as a way to prevent rejection, the program's ultimate goal is to advance the field of transplantation to achieve tolerance. Cetrulo is working closely with the Transplantation Biology Research Center, which last month celebrated the 10th anniversary of the first use of the tolerance protocol in an organ transplant patient. The protocol includes a bone marrow transplant using cells from the donor in conjunction with the transplant, which results in the body eventually accepting the transplanted tissue without the need for life-long immunosuppressive drugs.
"We are working to eliminate the need for these drugs," Cetrulo said. "Joe's courage in being the first recipient will help lead us to better ways to perform this surgery going forward."

Dec. 14 ( Bloomberg) -- The cost of occupying office space in San Francisco soared the most of any market in the world as technology companies such as Salesforce.com and Mozilla Corp. fueled leasing in the city, according to broker CBRE Group Inc.
Occupancy costs -- rents plus local taxes and service charges -- surged 36.4 percent in downtown San Francisco to $90 a square foot in the year to Sept. 30, Los Angeles-based CBRE said in its semiannual survey of world office markets. That was the biggest jump among 133 areas globally.
Demand from technology-industry tenants is combining with low vacancies and limited new supply to increase rents in areas such as San Francisco and suburban Seattle, which had the fourth-largest rise in occupancy costs, at almost 22 percent. That ran counter to much of the global office market, where a recovery cooled as Europe's debt crisis deepened, banks made cutbacks and emerging-market growth slowed, according to CBRE.
"The U.S. high-tech sector has matured, with new applications for even traditional businesses," said Asieh Mansour, CBRE's San Francisco-based head of research for the Americas. "That's benefited commercial real estate in San Francisco. This is where tech companies are clustered, and where labor skill sets are located."
San Francisco's office vacancy has fallen by almost six percentage points in two years to 9.7 percent as of Sept. 30, with leasing by firms such as Hotwire Inc., OpenTable Inc. and Pinterest in the third quarter, CBRE said.
San Francisco's office market ranked 26th globally for costs. It was third in the U.S., behind midtown Manhattan, at $114.30 a square foot, and Washington, at $94.51.
Hong Kong
Central Hong Kong was the most expensive location in the world at $246.30 a square foot, followed by London's West End at $219.81 a square foot and Tokyo's Marunouchi Otemachi at $197.27. Hong Kong also had the biggest decrease in office occupancy costs, with an almost 18 percent decline, as large financial institutions cut expenses, CBRE said.
Twelve of the top 20 most expensive locations for office space were in the Asia-Pacific region, where multinational firms are searching for the best buildings in the priciest areas to situate head offices, Mansour said in a telephone interview.
"Those markets attracted corporate headquarters because of the labor available, and to diversify the risk of their labor pool," she said.
Jakarta, Beijing
Jakarta had the second-biggest cost increase after downtown San Francisco, with a 28.7 percent gain to $54 a square foot, according to the brokerage. The San Francisco peninsula -- which includes Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Redwood City -- ranked third, up 28.6 percent to $62 a square foot. It was followed by suburban Seattle, which includes Bellevue, with a 21.8 percent jump to $38 a square foot; and Beijing's Finance Street, which climbed 19.7 percent to $180 a square foot.
The costs take into account local variances in currency and lease terms, Mansour said.
In San Francisco, Salesforce's January rental agreement at 50 Fremont St., the city's biggest leasing deal of 2012, helped spur a third year of occupancy gains, according to CBRE. The company, the largest maker of online customer-management software, took about 400,000 square feet (37,160 square meters) in the South of Market high-rise, at a cost of about $339 million over 18 years, according to a Jan. 6 regulatory filing.
Mozilla, Meraki
Other technology leases included Mozilla's deal at Hills Plaza, on the waterfront, an area where rental agreements have been as high as $70 a square foot in the fourth quarter; and Meraki Inc.'s accord for 110,000 square feet in Mission Bay, where recent asking rents were about $60 a square foot, according to CBRE. Mozilla develops the Firefox Web browser, while Meraki makes tools to manage Wi-Fi networks and security.
San Francisco's gains probably will slow in 2013, as will Asia-Pacific expansion that's advanced "like gangbusters," Mansour said. London's status as a global financial hub should offset austerity measures in the U.K., she said.
"The tech sector is viewed as more favorable and more stable today," Mansour said of San Francisco. "But growth will slow because there's already saturation in the market."

text: Kr Angelus SE 2012 ringing noise from the battery slot I just got this cool guitar. After a couple of weeks of playing it, it started to emit a buzzing / ringing from around the battery drawer (not plugged) only near F#, G and G#. I "fixed" this by coating the battery in a thin layer of styrofoam and duct tape, but the noise would still appear from time to time. Is there a better solution? The slot is a bit big for the battery IMO, leaving room for this type of ringing in specific positions. LE. specified the notes producing it and the fact that the noise is back, after an hour of playing.
