Shares of Research in Motion (RIMM) are up 66 cents, or almost 5%, at $14.11 this morning, on no apparent news.
Collin Gillis with BGC Partners, who has a Sell rating on the stock, tells me in a phone call this morning that the proximate cause, as far as he can tell, is discussion that Samsung Electronics (005930KS) is looking to make a minority investment in the company and to develop phones based on RIM's forthcoming "BB10" operating system, which RIM is counting on to resuscitate the company's phone portfolio.
Gillis, who's met with Samsung of late, says the company is nervous, as are others, about Google's (GOOG) intentions with respect to Motorola Mobility (MMI), which it is acquiring, and how that will shift things for Android licensees such as Samsung.
One answer is to use Samsung's homegrown "Bada" operating system. Another is to use Microsoft's (MSFT) "Windows 8" operating system, expected later this year. And, indeed, Gillis sees this as being "the year Windows Phone" gets traction. "I'm a believer," he says.
However, RIM, he says, needs Samsung more than the other way around.
He's fairly certain there have, in fact, been talks of some kind between the two.
"Obviously new management has been sitting down and saying, Maybe we could extend the platform and bring something new into the ecosystem" with Samsung or another partner, says Gillis, referring to RIM CEO Thorsten Heins, who was appointed in January.
Gillis thinks it's highly unlikely RIM will get an investment from Samsung. (The number I've heard being tossed around by traders is $1.5 billion.)
Samsung doesn't get anything from a minority stake, he asserts, and Canada's government has made clear in past they will not allow an outright buyout of the company.
He does, however, think it's possible Samsung would make phones with BB10. The question is when and if it would help or hurt.
As far as timing, "I could give you a better answer in the fall," says Gillis, "When we see how much the platform has deteriorated," he says of BB10.
Having Samsung sell phones would directly impact RIM's own revenue, as Samsung is a better maker of phones, he observes, and so it's a threat to RIM's top line, at least in the near term.

Hi Robert. No it is not an HDR as you guessed. At 400mm, night shots, it would have taken more than 4 hours! All details and camera settings can be found here: www.karimsaad.net/blog/2013/01/dub ai-marina-skyline-uae /
Hi Karim, This Dubai Marina Skyline gigapan is magnificent. How long have you waited for these weather conditions with the water so flat? Great reflections and exceptionally sharp. May I ask what your camera settings were... Aperture, shutter speed & ISO? I would guess that this is not HDR. Regards, Robert

I have a 1.5yr old male that keeps jumping on my wife and kids. He doesn't jump on me anymore due to me putting my foot to his chest when he gets close to prevent him from jumping up on me. The wife and kids have a hard time stopping him, so he gets away with it a whole lot. What is the best thing for me to do to stop him from jumping on the family? Other than beating his butt or putting the e-collar on him and burning his hard headed butt up!
He did go through obedianance and advanced retriever training. Guess he has forgotten his obedianance since he has been home. He also likes to rub on your legs like a cat does seems like he is trying to knock you down by doing this. This is my first Lab. So any ideas on how to handle this dude will be much appreciated.

Thread: 20 gal high lighting help
If Flouish Excel is an alternative carbon source to CO2, then I wonder if Flourish Comprehensive (because it IS comprehensive) also provides that. It would seem to me that "comprehensive" means all-inclusive. I am hesitant to use the Excel because there have been accounts of it killing some fish. My fish seem to do okay with the Comprehensive, and if plants need CO2, and that will provide the carbon alternative as well, then it sounds like it would fill the ticket.
From what I've read, CO2 injection comes with its own set of problems and if you forget to turn it off at night, you can have real trouble. Doesn't it also require buying extra equipment and has to be set up just so?
I've never really understood it that well, because I don't use it. And if the ferts I'm now using will provide the equivalent, that should be enough ...

Flourish Comprehensive, also just called Flourish, does not contain what's in Excel. Flourish Comprehensive is a comprehensive fertilizer, containing micronutrients like iron, magnesium, calcium, and others. Excel on the other hand is a carbon source that works in the same vein as CO2.
Excel is not a complete substitute for CO2 injection, but it will help plant growth if CO2 is limiting. Like you, I haven't bothered with CO2 due to the potential risks, as well as costs and hassle. I have a friend whose CO2 regulator broke, and he woke up one morning with a tank full of dead fish
At the recommended doses, Excel isn't supposed to affect fish. Seachem's website claims this also. I've never had problems with Excel affecting fish, although it's possible of course that there are certain sensitive species you have to be careful with. I would be more concerned with Excel and invertebrates--I had a friend who wouldn't use Excel because she was breeding cherry shrimp. Excel hasn't seemed to affect my amano shrimp, or any of my snails, though.
Thank you again for very helpful information.
It sounds like I can minimally dose with Excel and be safe. This might be what my jungle val needs to get going.
When I use the Flourish comp, I always dose minimally, using less than they recommend on the label, because, like with medicines, if a lesser dose still works, why use more? Cuts down on the possibility of undesired side effects.
Just one question: Would I use the Excel in addition to the Flourish comp, or in place of it (that is, use ONLY the Excel)? And at different times, not both at once?
I'll be adding Excel to my shopping list next time I visit my LFS.

WASHINGTON – Senate hearings on the nomination of Chuck Hagel to be defense secretary will be a distinctive Washington entertainment, a donnybrook without drama. He should be confirmed: Presidents are due substantial deference in selecting Cabinet members because they administer presidential policies and, unlike judicial appointments, they leave when their nominators do.
Hagel will be confirmed because Sen. Chuck Schumer, after hesitating theatrically enough to propitiate supporters of Israel, of whom there are many among his New York constituents, will not oppose Hagel. Opposition would end Schumer's hope to make the nation nostalgic for Harry Reid by succeeding him as Senate Democratic leader. Still, the hearings will be sound and fury signifying renewed interest in security policy, which can be illuminated by Hagel addressing questions like these:
• In 1997, 28 years after you returned from Vietnam with two Purple Hearts, we heard a May 27, 1964, taped telephone conversation in which President Johnson said to his national security adviser, McGeorge Bundy: "I don't think it's worth fighting for and I don't think we can get out." Johnson said: "What in the hell is Vietnam worth to me? What is Laos worth to me? What is it worth to this country?" There were only 16,000 U.S. forces in Vietnam, where there had been only 266 U.S. deaths. The U.S. deployment would peak at more than 500,000 in 1969 and 58,000 would die there. How did this tape, and Vietnam generally, shape your thinking?
• Your critics say that you managed to be wrong on Iraq twice, by supporting the 2003 invasion and by opposing the 2007 surge. Without a surge what would have happened in Iraq?
• How many sorties, including attacks on Iran's air defense systems, would be required to significantly degrade and delay Iran's nuclear program? Can Israel mount such an air campaign alone? Would you favor U.S. cooperation, with intelligence and special munitions?
• Did you refuse to sign a 2006 letter urging the European Union to declare Hezbollah a terrorist group because you consider that designation inaccurate? From your 2009 endorsement of U.S. negotiations with Hamas, can we conclude that you oppose the policy of not negotiating with terrorists?
• You call our sanctions against Cuba "outdated," "unrealistic," "irrelevant" and "nonsensical." What Cuba policy would you recommend?
• Do you agree with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's judgment that cuts under sequestration would "hollow out the force"? Can you give examples of procurements or deployments that justify your description of the Defense Department as "bloated"?
• The Navy has nine aircraft carriers. Aircraft carrier groups are the principal means of projecting U.S. power. And they are very expensive. How many should we have? How is your calculation influenced by the fact that seven weeks ago China for the first time landed a fighter jet on a carrier?
• Congress' power to declare war has atrophied since it was last exercised (against Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary on June 5, 1942). Should Congress authorize America's wars?
• In 2011, Obama, said our military "is being volunteered by others to carry out missions" in Libya. The rationale for this – before mission meander embraced regime change – was "R2P," the responsibility to protect civilians. Do you support applying this doctrine to Syria? If removing Gaddafi was an important U.S. interest, why was it, and when did it become so? Do you dispute the illegality of Obama's ignoring the War Powers Resolution that requires military interventions to end after 60 days, absent congressional approval?
• Speaking of the imperial presidency, do you believe that the use of drones to target specific individuals means presidents have an unreviewable power to kill whomever they define as enemies? Do you favor "signature strikes" wherein drones attack groups of young males whose characteristics match the "signature" of terrorists?
• In 1949, one of NATO's founders said its purpose was "to keep the Americans in (Europe), the Germans down and the Russians out." What is its purpose now?
Bonus: Might fewer than 54,000 U.S. forces in Germany suffice to defend that country, or Western Europe, from whatever threat they are there to deter?

The biggest difference is that we don't need you. You are useless to us, but you need us. You need people out there being productive while you assert your right to control us.
I realize secession will not happen. It is because so many people are in the middle, i.e. apolitical or just apathetic.

Steve and Bruce,
I do want to sincerely apologize for getting hot under the collar on this subject. We likely have irreconcilable differences of the ramifications and meaning of secession. I may not hate Obama as much as you guys do, but believe me, I'm no fan either. But that's why we have term limits. Our Constitution has gotten us through some pretty rough times, these notwithstanding.
Further insults or name calling serve no purpose, and I will RESPECTFULLY back out of this thread now. Hope to chat more with you guys in the RTF, on more agreeable matters,
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
It is not about Obama. It is about the large number of people in this country who believe in collectivism and are hostile to liberty, who believe they are enlightened and think they know what is best for me, who would call me intolerant, but are unable to see their own intolerance. These people do not believe in our Constitution.
If Obama goes away, these people will still be electing tyrants like Pelosi, Feinstein and Waxman. I do not like the direction these people are pushing our country. Unless something changes, we are heading for a tripping point where we descend into chaos or more likely we slide into a Euro style social welfare state.
Kelly, Weis, Willingham, & Davies
The fact is that no one would be happier with secession than those that hate America the most. A split country, with each side trying to figure out how to organize itself while fighting off attacks from the other would either fade into economic and political obscurity or destroy the world in the process. Those with the power, if they are rational, would have to seriously consider "putting us to sleep" before we could hurt others. Beyond that, of course, is the fact that you would be hard pressed to find any state in the country where a majority of people would favor secession or even where a majority of the people would meet your definition of conservative. Presumably those people would either be forced involuntarily to become part of your rebel state or be expelled.
The issue of whether or not the United States of America is a "voluntary association" was resolved conclusively in 1863. We started as a voluntary association. However, it was an all or nothing proposition. All 13 colonies had to join to create a viable country. Since then each state had to make its own voluntary decision to join and then be accepted to be included in the country. There was never a divorce clause (not even for Texas).
Personally, I only know of one part of our laws that addresses questions of secession. It is Article 3, section 3 of the Constitution:
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."
Your quote from Jefferson came from a letter he wrote from Paris in 1787 to one William Smith. He was talking about an armed insurrection in Western Massachusetts led by Daniel Shay. Jefferson dismissed the rebellion as something that should happen every 20 years or so to refresh the spirit of liberty. That same rebellion spurred the Constitutional Convention to finish its work because of their fear that the spirit of the revolution was being lost in petty acts of anarchy that needed to be stopped.
It's interesting to note that the big push for a stronger national government came from those worried about protecting the rights of property owners from those with less. Madison famously said: "Liberty may be endangered by the abuses of liberty as well as the abuses of power." This was part of an argument for a stronger central government that would be able to put down such insurrections.
Jeff Goodwin
My liberal friends think I'm a conservative nut, and my conservative friends all label me as a leftie. I figure that since the truth often lies in the middle (no pun intended), I must be on to something. The important part is that we're all friends at the end of the day.
It would sure suck to need a passport to visit my friends in Texas for dove-hunting.
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
I like the sound of "United States" vs something like American Union or Euro American Union. I am afraid that our current and not so distant past leaders are looking to some grand one world order that if not socialist something really close. I see all these folks talk about the right to free health care, college, and cheese. I keep trying to find tax payer bailouts in the constitution but I guess that page is missing. What ever happened to give them a fish or teach them to fish. Government in public business is far worse than religion in government. We have become servants of the government not the other way around.
"Communism only works in Heaven, where they don't need it, and in Hell, where they already have it" Ronald Reagan
I already acknowledged that secession will never happen, but for the fun of it, let's pretend that 50% are capitalistic, freedom loving conservatives and 50% are progressive, left wing statists.

unDisclosed: 2nd National Indigenous Art Triennial is in its last weeks at the Gallery. The modernity and diversity of the works on display and the way in which they have been harmoniously presented by guest curator Carly Lane make this a breathtaking survey of contemporary Indigenous Art. Don't miss the opportunity to see the exhibition before it closes on 22 July.
Why not time your visit to coincide with one of the remaining unDisclosed public programs?
Events in July include a NAIDOC week performance by Alick Tipoti with dancers from the Torres Strait Islands, talks about artists Michael Cook and Naata Nungurrayi and a children's 'Draw and explore' event exploring the wonders of water through works in the exhibition.

unDisclosed will travel to Queensland, South Australia and regional NSW in 2013. The exhibition will commence its national tour at the Cairns Regional Gallery, on 22 February before travelling to the Anne & Gordon Samstag Museum of Art, at the University of South Australia, Adelaide, opening on 3 May and then Western Plains Cultural Centre, Dubbo NSW, on 3 August 2013.

The great American painter Jackson Pollock was born in 1912, as was the second- generation Abstract Expressionist Morris Louis. To mark these anniversaries, the NGA showcases its holdings of important paintings, drawings and prints. The collection is significant in national and world terms, and a symposium is planned to accompany the display.
Abstract Expressionist art is vibrant and still surprising, even after a century dominated by the genius of Matisse and Picasso. Without Abstract Expressionism modern art and contemporary painting would be very different. The Gallery's strong holdings of Pollock, Louis and their contemporaries, and other painters associated with Colour Field painting and the New York School, will also feature. Most works were acquired in the 1970s, before the NGA opened, and several recent acquisitions build on the strengths of this early collecting.

Pollock's Blue poles, one of his most famous paintings, and the earlier Totem lesson 2
accompany six drawings and six etchings by him, rarely on public view. Paintings and works on paper by Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, Arshile Gorky and Lee Krasner will also be on display, along with three paintings by Louis and an early work by Helen Frankenthaler-in commemoration of her death in December 2011. Key works by Philip Guston, Hans Hofmann, Robert Motherwell and Clyfford Still
elucidate the dynamic connections between artists.
The impact of these influential and unique painters stretched far and wide. Extraordinary Australians such as Tony Tuckson and Peter Upward show how these artists developed in related and complementary ways. Over four galleries, this festival of Abstract Expressionism offers a fascinating journey through the Gallery's holdings, as well as a rare opportunity to experience the quality and depth of the collection.
Abstract Expressionism is on display in the International galleries from 14 July with additional works in the Orde Poynton Gallery from
4 August.
Members have recently enjoyed two special events in conjunction with unDisclosed – a talk presented by Tina Baum, Curator Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander Art and Danie Mellor who spoke in detail about is works in the exhibition.
We have a fantastic coffee with the curator coming up in July when Tina Baum will be discussing artists in the collection from the Pitjantjatjara region of the Central Australian desert. This event is presented in conjunction with the upcoming production at the Canberra Theatre Centre of Big hART Ngapartji Ngapartji {one}. Details of a special NGA members offer to see the production are further down in this issue of artonline. To book online for the coffee with the curator event visit the members page.

A picture is worth a thousand words, as the saying goes. Since the early 20th century when Picasso and Braque made their radical breakthrough with Cubism, there has been a flourishing of modern and contemporary art produced with text at its core. Alphabets with their infinite potential for words; the visual form of letters; the art of printmaking with its origins in typography; and the artists' book are some of the themes explored in this exhibition. Word Pictures is the Gallery's contribution to the National Year of Reading.
This selection of surprising and often humorous works of art reveals the artists' playful connections between our visual and written languages.
Word Pictures opens in the Childrens Gallery on 7 July.

In 2010 Marcella Louis Brenner bequeathed to the National Gallery of Australia a very fine painting by her husband Morris Louis. He was an influential American artist who had died almost 50 years earlier. Through her generous act of benefaction, Mrs Brenner added significantly to the Gallery's strong holdings of works by American artists of the mid-20th century. Her impact on Australia's national art collection will be felt in perpetuity by many generations of Australian and international visitors.
Nexus II is a stunning work that will be included, together with three other paintings by Morris Louis, in the Abstract Expressionism exhibition that opens on 14 July 2012. The painting exudes a serene and harmonious effect and also refers to itself, through the title Nexus II, as a means of connecting the artist's previous to his future work.
Morris Louis was a key player in American art of the mid-20th century, who became known for having established a new style of Abstract Expressionism in the last five years of his short life. The art critic Clement Greenberg created the term 'Post-painterly Abstraction' to describe the work of artists such as Louis who were included in an exhibition of the same name.

This year's Masterpieces for the Nation Fund is dedicated to the acquisition of an impressive and important bark painting by prominent Kuninjku artist Yirawala. Kundaagi – red plains kangaroo was painted in 1962 and shows the critical moment when an evil mimih spirit captures Kundaagi the kangaroo, before ceremoniously killing and eating him. This powerful painting depicts the moment of an ancestral story related to traditional burial ceremonies of the Kininjku people of western Arnhem land.
The quality of this painting is exceptional and its acquisition presents the opportunity to reunite the work with its original family of Yirawala barks currently in the national art collection.
To help us in our efforts to acquire this painting, please follow
this link or e-mail email@example.com.
Warm thanks are given to the many generous donors who have already contributed towards the Masterpieces for the Nation Fund 2012. All donors to the Fund will be invited to view the work at a special thank you event hosted by the Director of the National Gallery of Australia,
Ron Radford AM, in September this year.

AMORY – Corinth couldn't get a shot to fall down in the first half. Amory had the same problem in the second half.
Corinth (14-4, 6-0) came back from an 8-point halftime deficit to beat division rival Amory 55-44 at home and roll out to a 6-0 record in Division 1-4A.
"It was a physical game, especially in the first half," Corinth coach Keith Greene said. "They weren't scoring like they usually do either, and I told my guys that. I told them it was an ugly game, and we needed to stay calm.
The Panthers (9-4, 2-3) jumped out to a quick 7-0 start, aided by a layup and a three-pointer from Jaylon Fair, who led Amory with 13 points in the loss.
Jazz Garner hit a 3-pointer and a 2-point shot to leave the Warriors down by just 10-9 to close out the first quarter, but Amory responded with a 12-6 run in the second for a 22-15 halftime lead.
"We were more patient on offense in the second half," Greene said. "In the first half, we shot it after two passes every possession."
Corinth opened the third quarter with an 8-0 run with Raheem Sorrell's basket giving the Warriors their first lead of the game.
Midway through the third, both teams exchanged the lead on three point shots. Fair hit a 3-pointer to tie it up with Garner responding with a 3 of his own. Devin McIntosh's 3 tied it back up, but Corinth would take the lead for good later on a Kendrick Williams basket at the end of the period.
"It was the same thing that happened to us Friday against Shannon," Amory coach Rob Browning said. "They wanted it more in the third quarter, and that will get you beat every night."
Sorrell (12) and Darius Gaines (10) each finished in double figures for Corinth. Nick Beeks scored 12 for Amory.
(G) Corinth 70, Amory 39: Kadeihi Long scored 14 points for Corinth in the win, while Apsen Stricklen added 11. Kerina Harris and Ashley Thompson paced Amory with 11 each.

Late in the fourth quarter of the Memphis Grizzlies loss to the Golden State Warriors, All-Star forward Zach Randolph proved there is never a bad time to show some love for young fans.
Randolph was seen leaving the team's bench while a teammate was shooting free throws. It turns out a young fan with special needs was trying to get his attention and appeared to indicate that he wanted Randolph's warm up top. Randolph happily obliged before returning to the bench and giving the fan a thumb's up.
Zachary Randolph's heart is even bigger than his height.
The Memphis Grizzlies power forward literally gave a fan the shirt of his back this week.
Z-Bo saw a young boy with special needs cheering him on while he was sitting on the bench during Wednesday's game.
"I heard Will (the boy) hollering … Z-Bo, Z-Bo … I just gave him the shirt," Randolph told Fox & Friends on Sunday Morning. "I was surprised the camera caught it."
Why did he do it? "I've been blessed," he said. "it's a blessing for me to have a friend and fan like Will."
Morgan Furlong, Will's father, said his son is thrilled.
"It was real special for (Will)," Furlong said. " He had the shirt on afterwards and was dancing in the hallways."
Even thug pieces of shits have a soft-side. Nice touch Z-Bo.
not sure how much of a thug he is

Imperial Monarche
Now, this is pure speculation, but if you go to the Set Diaries on the starwars.com in the Hyperspace section and read the article about the King of Casting, towards the bottom the casting director comments on the new additions to the cast and her thoughts on them. Rohan Nichol's paragraph talks about how they wanted someone to look like a character from the original trilogy. Could his character possibly be Captain Antillies? Think about it, who from the original trilogy would be infamous enough for fans to recognize that would be interesting to expand on his background that fans would like to hear but Wedge Antillies. And it would tie up the rumors of how Captain Antillies could be related to Wedge. Thoughts?

ADA Best Practices Tool Kit for State and Local Governments
Chapter 7
A. ADA Basics for Emergency Management
One of the primary responsibilities of state and local governments is to protect
residents and visitors from harm, including assistance in preparing for,
responding to, and recovering from emergencies and disasters. State and local
governments must comply with Title II of the ADA in the emergency- and
disaster-related programs, services, and activities they provide.1 This
requirement applies to programs, services, and activities provided directly by
state and local governments as well as those provided through third parties, such
as the American Red Cross, private nonprofit organizations, and religious
entities.2 Under Title II of the ADA, emergency programs, services, activities,
and facilities must be accessible to people with disabilities 3 and generally may
not use eligibility criteria that screen out or tend to screen out people with disabilities.4 The ADA also requires making reasonable modifications to policies,
practices, and procedures when necessary to avoid discrimination against a
person with a disability5 and taking the steps necessary to ensure effective
communication with people with disabilities.6 The ADA generally does not
require state or local emergency management programs to take actions that
would fundamentally alter the nature of a program, service, or activity or impose
undue financial and administrative burdens.7
B. What is Emergency Management?
Emergency management is wide-ranging. It includes all programs, services, and
activities related to emergencies and disasters, including:
C. Preparation – Advance Planning for Emergencies and
An emergency management plan is the all-important first step in ensuring an
effective response to emergencies and disasters. Public officials, specialists
from organizations such as the American Red Cross, and community members
should work together to develop a comprehensive plan to prepare for
emergencies. One good way to test your emergency management plan is to
enlist people with disabilities to role-play during emergency simulations. Seeking
and using input from people with a variety of disabilities, and organizations with
expertise on disability issues, will help ensure that your emergency planning and
preparedness meet the access needs of people with disabilities in your
community with respect to all phases of emergency management.
D. Notification – Alerting the Public to an Emergency
Officials must act quickly to alert the public to an impending emergency situation.
But many traditional emergency notification methods are not accessible to people
with disabilities. People who are deaf will not hear radio, television, sirens, or
other audible alerts. Those who are blind or who have low vision may not be
aware of visual cues, such as flashing lights. State and local governments need
to use warning methods that ensure all residents and visitors will have the
information necessary to make sound decisions and take appropriate,
responsible action.
Often, using a combination of notification methods will be more effective than
relying on one method alone. For instance, combining visual and audible alerts
will reach a greater audience than either method would alone. Auto-dialed text
telephone (TTY) messages to pre-registered individuals who are deaf or hard of
hearing, text messaging, emails, and other innovative uses of technology may be
incorporated into such procedures. For announcements by government officials
on local television stations, providing qualified sign language interpreters and
open captioning will ensure that all people tuning in are able to access the information provided. The emergency management plan should identify the
steps that will be taken and the resources that will be used to ensure that
emergency notifications will be accessible to all.
E. Community Evacuation and Transportation
In an emergency, people with disabilities may face a variety of challenges in
evacuating to safety. A person with a mobility disability may need assistance
leaving a building without a working elevator. Individuals who are blind or who
have low vision may no longer be able to independently use traditional orientation
and navigation methods. A deaf person may be trapped somewhere unable to
communicate with anyone because the only available communication device
relies on voice. State and local governments need to establish procedures to
ensure that people with disabilities can evacuate the area of an emergency in a
variety of conditions, with assistance when it is needed.
One step that can significantly increase the effectiveness of your planning
process is to create a voluntary, confidential registry of persons with disabilities
who may need individualized notification or evacuation assistance. Setting up a
voluntary registry requires that procedures be implemented to ensure that the
registry is voluntary, confidentiality is protected, and information is updated as
Both public and private transportation may be disrupted due to overcrowding,
because of blocked streets and sidewalks, or because the transit system is not
functioning at all. The movement of people during an evacuation is critical,
but many people, because of their disabilities, cannot drive or use
traditional, inaccessible transportation. Thus, emergency plans must identify
accessible forms of transportation (i.e., vehicles equipped with wheelchair lifts)
available to help evacuate people with disabilities. For instance, some
communities have used lift-equipped school buses, transit buses, or paratransit
vehicles to evacuate people who use wheelchairs or scooters. Some people with
disabilities will be able to reach mass evacuation pick-up locations independently,
while others may be unable to leave their homes without assistance. Evacuation
and emergency transportation plans should address the evacuation-related
needs of people with disabilities.
F. Emergency Shelter Programs
When emergencies arise, communities often provide residents and visitors with
safe refuge in temporary shelters. Shelters are sometimes operated by
government entities themselves. More often, they are operated by a third party.
Regardless of who operates a shelter, the ADA generally requires shelter
operations to be conducted in a way that offers people with disabilities the same
benefits – e.g., safety, comfort, food, medical care, the support of family and
friends – provided to people without disabilities. Because sheltering programs
are critical to ensuring the safety of people with disabilities in emergencies and
disasters, ADA requirements for sheltering are discussed in greater detail in two
stand-alone technical assistance documents that state and local governments
can provide to shelter operators to assist them in planning to meet the needs of
people with disabilities in the shelter environment. While these technical
assistance documents do not address all ADA compliance issues that may arise
in emergency shelters, they address a number of the most common access
The first of these technical assistance documents – "The ADA and Emergency
Shelters: Access for All in Emergencies and Disasters" is in Addendum 2 to this
Chapter at www.ada.gov/pcatoolkit/chap7shelterprog.htm. It discusses the
ADA's nondiscrimination requirements for shelter programs. The second
technical assistance document – "ADA Checklist for Emergency Shelters" is in
Addendum 3 to this Chapter at www.ada.gov/pcatoolkit/chap7shelterchk.htm. The Checklist includes two assessment tools to help state and local governments
and emergency shelter operators ensure that emergency shelters provide access
to all: (1) a preliminary survey tool that will help in deciding if a facility has the
accessibility characteristics that make it a good candidate for a potential
emergency shelter, and (2) a more detailed checklist that will help identify the
most common architectural barriers to access for people with disabilities found at
emergency shelters.
G. Access to Social Services, Temporary Lodging or Housing,
and Other Benefit Programs
State and local governments often provide social services and other benefit
programs to assist people harmed by emergencies and disasters. These
programs need to be accessible to all, including people with disabilities.
Following are some important points to remember:
Access to Temporary Housing
People with disabilities may have more difficulty locating
temporary housing or lodging than others. For example,
someone with a mobility disability may need to personally verify
that an entrance to an apartment has no steps or that the
accessible features of a bathroom or kitchen meet his needs.
Some people who are blind or have low vision may not be able
to locate addresses in an unfamiliar community or determine if
an apartment is clean and safe without assistance. For these
reasons people with disabilities may need extra time and help,
including transportation assistance, in locating housing.
H. Repairing and Rebuilding
Emergencies and disasters often damage state and local government facilities.
In the recovery stage of emergency management, state and local governments
often make alterations to facilities to repair such damage, construct facilities to
replace those that were destroyed or extensively damaged, or move government
programs, services, and activities from damaged facilities to other locations.
When constructing new or replacement facilities and repairing damaged facilities,
state and local governments must comply with the accessibility requirements of
Title II of the ADA. They may choose from two design standards for new
construction and alterations – either the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards
(UFAS) or the ADA Standards for Accessible Design (ADA Standards). If the
ADA Standards are chosen, public entities are not entitled to the elevator
exemption contained in § 4.1.3(5) of the Standards. If the building was newly
constructed or altered after the ADA went into effect, then the design standard
used at that time must be followed for the rebuilding. Alterations to facilities must
not decrease accessibility.
State or local government facilities constructed after January 26, 1992 and
alterations to such facilities must comply with the new construction requirements
of Title II of the ADA.8 Alterations to facilities constructed before the ADA
became effective, must comply with Title II's requirements for alterations to
existing facilities.9 Under the ADA Standards, alterations to primary function
areas of existing facilities trigger a "path of travel" requirement – i.e., a
requirement to make the path of travel from the entrance to the altered area
accessible, including telephones, restrooms, and drinking fountains serving the
altered area.10 Primary function areas are those where major activities take
place. But a public entity is not required to spend more than 20 percent of the
cost of the original alteration on making the path of travel accessible, even if this
cost limitation results in less than full accessibility. Under UFAS, if an existing
facility undergoes a "substantial alteration," the public entity must provide (1) an
accessible route from public transportation, parking, streets, and sidewalks to all
accessible parts of the building; (2) an accessible entrance; and (3) accessible
restrooms.11 A "substantial alteration" for purposes of UFAS is where the total
cost of all alterations in a 12-month period amounts to 50 percent or more of the
value of the building.
When moving programs from a damaged facility to another location, state and
local governments must ensure that the programs remain accessible to people
with disabilities.12 This requirement applies whether the program is relocated
permanently or temporarily.
I. Steps to Ensure Access for All in Emergencies and
Here are some steps you can take now to ensure that emergency management
programs, services, and activities are accessible to everyone, including people
with disabilities.

22 March is World Water Day.
Providing people with access to safe water and to sanitation is incredibly important in any emergency. Without clean drinking water people cannot survive. Without proper sanitation and good hygiene, the risk of water-borne diseases puts people's lives further at risk. See our slideshow on the life-saving difference water makes in emergencies.

Marshmallow Shrapnel
Dear Alibi,
[RE: The Real Side, "John Dendahl, Suicide Bomber," July 6-12]
Jim Scarantino frets that John Dendahl's campaign attacks on Bill Richardson are intended to "spread carnage" and cripple Richardson's chances on a national ticket. Reality check here—if Richardson can't shrug off the pea-shooter dings from a minor-leaguer like Dendahl, what's Bill going to do when the big-league assassins on the national level get him in their sights? These are the attack dogs who brought down decorated Vietnam vets like John Kerry and John McCain before him. Richardson will be taking flak from them that'll make Dendahl's "bombs" look like marshmallows.
Our governor should be grateful for any cream-puff "shrapnel" that Dendahl can serve up. It'll be good batting practice for when he has to face bean balls from the big boys.

Layers, Layers and Layers
Dear Alibi,
[RE: Letters, "Heart and Soul," July 6-12]
Greg Leichner of Placitas tried to tell us the root cause of homophobia, but I think he missed the mark by a mile. Our brains immediately categorize anyone we encounter; is he like me, or is he different? If he is like me, I will feel empathy; I will feel safe and free of anxiety. If he is different, I will feel anxious, maybe even fear. But underneath a very thin outer layer of differences (race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, etc.), we are all very much the same. We all want less suffering, a sense of security; and we all want to be with people who know us and understand us.
Prejudice is about ignorance (in the literal sense of a lack of knowledge) and anxiety. It is not inevitable and primal, as Mr. Leichner has implied. The way to eliminate it is to gain knowledge and thereby empathy about the one who is different. With dialogue we can explore the things we share in common and discover just how very much the same we all really are. With dialogue we can break free of the cultural and religious ideas we were exposed to at a very young age, and we can begin to appreciate our humanness in all its wonderful diversity.

The Founding Deists
Dear Alibi,
[RE: Letters, "Christian Nation?," July 6-12]
Perhaps before Mr. Donald L. Adams of Rio Rancho takes the time to "dispel" someone else's, he should spend a little time on the Internet or at the public library doing a little research. That's all it would take to find out first of all that many of the founding fathers were deists, not Christians. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin, Samuel Adams, Thomas Paine, James Madison and Ethan Allen, all were well known as deists. Dig a little deeper and find that Thomas Jefferson, the actual author of the Constitution, went so far as to edit the existing Bible, removing all references to the miracles of Jesus, as well as the resurrection (my, that hardly seems the act of a good Christian). He might also have run across a copy of the Treaty of Tripoli, signed by President John Adams and the entire congress, most of whom were among the founding fathers. Article 11 of that document starts with the following statement: "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion ..." Even the quote that Mr. Adams offers as "proof," from Ben Franklin, which as previously noted, was well known as a deist, mentions God—but not Jesus—and is ergo, not specifically a Christian statement. But with the usual hubris, displayed by so many of the more rabid members of the cult of the cross, he assumes the mention of God includes the entire dogma of Christianity. There are many who believe in God, Mr. Adams, that don't necessarily ascribe to the beliefs of Christianity, including Jews, deists, Unitarians and agnostics (who acknowledge the possibility of God). There are other "good" books, Mr. Adams. Perhaps you might avail yourself to some of them before making such a public display of your lack of edification.
Kyle Newman
Religious Office
Dear Alibi,
Donald L. Adams [Letters, "Christian Nation?," July 6-12] attempts by referencing some historical research to justify calling America a "Christian Nation."
Perhaps he will explain why the American Constitution, our basic legal document, does not mention Christianity and the only mention of religion is to prohibit a religious test for holding public office.

Part of the Human Pack
Dear Alibi,
[RE: Feature, "Not So Beastly," July 6-12]
Very well written. I really applaud the points made. Too often we "take on" pets with the attitude that they are just animals, forgetting the fact that dogs specifically are pack animals, much like humans, and as such need the contact of their adopted pack. So while the humans sit back and enjoy being a part of the humans' pack, poor pup sits outside, alone, and chained to some forsaken post. It's no wonder to me why they make the great escape, bark into hoarseness or flip out. Wouldn't the human do the same?

Opinions and Facts
Dear Alibi,
[RE: The Real Side, "John Dendahl, Suicide Bomber," July 6-12]
It doesn't have anything to do with his ancestry. It has to do with the opinions of many, both Republican and Democrat, that Mr. Richardson is a political animal who is only "in it" for himself; whatever makes him look good at the moment. And apparently, the Republican Party has decided that the only way to keep Mr. Richardson out of any public office is Mr. Dendahl. Do I as a Republican agree with this? No! And they are aware of my feelings on the matter.
As for whether President Bush tells the truth, what evidence can you, yourself, provide that he can't due to his responsibilities to us as our President, hasn't or won't? Back up your attacks.
Also, opinions can't be wrong. They are only opinions, not facts. Not even yours. I sure hope that the Gentleman of Ideals puts in an appearance.

Thanks for posting this Opinion piece. It is a great example of how the denial industry operates.
Note the comment from the author of this study that he misrepresented http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamestay...1363-1219-5279
Oh, and here is another one from this year where the author comments back directly saying his report is misleading (aka wrong). http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamestay...1363-1159-4959
So, with just a little digging it is easy to see that the blogger you cite has an agenda and has been called out for lying multiple times. I suppose he is not doing it in this article though, right? Let's continue....
The rest of your discredited bloggers stuff is more propaganda, bought and paid for by his funders. A good response to this type of BS is also found at http://www.theguardian.com/environme...haracteristics
I know Henry V won't like another citation from American Thinker, but I found this interesting
Those more scientific-minded than I might feel differently.This natural carbon capture and burial caused atmospheric carbon dioxide to reach a dangerous low of about 275 ppm by the end of the Little Ice Age about 200 years ago. At this [COLOR=#11B000 !important]level[/COLOR], plants suffer carbon starvation and growth slows. Like all cold eras, these times were grim.Luckily the climate [COLOR=#11B000 !important]cycles changed, and earth started warming - some ice melted, oceans warmed and carbon dioxide was expelled from the warming oceans to provide more food for plants. Green vegetation started to invade the deserts and crop yields improved.
Man's industrial activities aided this natural green revolution over the last century by returning some naturally-buried carbon from coal and limestone to the biosphere. The pace of earth-greening has increased - even the giant redwoods are growing faster in this more-fertile atmosphere.
If I read this right, theimplication is that the Industrial Revolution (which is blamed for the increase in CO2) was actually coincidental to the cycle of warming, and was beneficial to it. And that the warming cycle has been beneficial to humans and the planet.

I would definitely recommend this tuner/programmer to any car enthusiast that is looking to improve performance in their car. I will say that the canned tunes (the ones that are preloaded on the Trinity) did improve my car (Jeep SRT), but nothing like a custom tune that you can get from someone who knows what they are doing or one you can get when dynoing your car. The interface and software was really easy to use as well as the logging for the custom tuner.

Rhodes Chroma
Quite a rare analog synthesizer from the early 1980's (only 3,000 made). The Chroma was originally an ARP project. However Rhodes picked it up after ARP dissolved in 1981. Rhodes, best known for its Electric Pianos released the Chroma (and Chroma Polaris) as their premiere analog synthesizers. The Chroma had 16 voices with 1 oscillator per voice (or 8 voices with 2 osc/voice), a 64-note velocity sensitive weighted keyboard, and a very complicated but powerful synthesis design. Programming was further complexed by a limited implementation of just 2 rows of membrane push-buttons. With few sliders to grab, hands-on control is cut short. However the Chroma is a very stable and elegant synth with complete auto-tuning, split-keyboard mode and the ability to link to a computer!
Although the Chroma came before there was MIDI, all was not lost. Rhodes used ARP's proprietary Digital Access Control which was used in some ARP instruments for inter-connecting them. Midi retro-fits can be purchased these days which convert MIDI to ARP's DAC system. Perhaps its most advanced feature for its time was the ability to interface with an Apple IIe computer for sequence and patch storage using dedicated Chroma software! That may not be very practical today, but historically it was a significant example of how synthesizers and personal-computers could work together. Also on-board you'll find two arpeggiators, a graphic equalizer, pitch/mod and 6 other sliders. A keyboardless expander module of the Chroma was also made available. It has been used by Jethro Tull, Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul and Oscar Peterson.

Tycho, what does that have to do with Don Johnson's sexuality? He is a married man. I agree with your assessment of the episode. Evan was one of the critically stand-out episodes from the first season. Although the subject matter did nothing for me I was more impressed by the dramatic opening with the cool use of Peter Gabriel's Rythym of the Heat and the performance of the actor who played Evan as a crazy loose wire cop. Remember the scene where he pulls the gun on Sonny because you will see it again later in an episode called "A Bullet For Crockett" when Sonny is shot and in the emergency room, the episode is a montage of flashbacks throughout the series (this was writen during a writer's strike year, hence the cliched cheat use of stock flashbacks) but poignant in that it is a summation of Crockett's character. There is also another great episode where Crockett accidentally shoots a kid and is overcome with guilt while under investigation and builds to an explosive scene in Castillo's office with really great performances by DJ and Olmos.

This project examines if the use of mobile phone communication between people with diabetes and their health care givers improves existing diabetes self-management programmes in Congo, Cambodia and the Philippines. Mobile phones will be given to people to enable them to call for support. They will receive messages and calls about behaviour change and results and reminders to appointments and taking of medication. The effects of the intervention on health outcomes, access to treatment and enablement of people living with diabetes will be evaluated for each country and the differences in effect between countries will be analysed.

Thread: First Tank: 80 gallons

First Tank: 80 gallons
Just got my first tank, 80 gallon hand-me-down from my dad. Needs a thorough cleaning which I plan to take care of today, but I wanted to see if I could get some advice on the other stuff! Money is tight, but I've done some research and so far I've come up with:
What I have:
1. 80 gallon tank + Stand
2. 2 12" Regent Heaters (I think 300 Watts each)
3. 48" light (32Watts)
4. Basking Lamp Fixture - No bulb
5. Thermometer
What I would ultimately like:
1. Plants (Java Fern & Amazon Sword)
2. Turtle (RES)
3. Fish (Cichlids and Angels)
*I have heard it can be challenging to keep a turtle, but I really have my heart set on it and am dedicated to making it work if its possible. From what I've read, these species seem to be compatible for the most part, given the correct environment and enough food :D
What I need:
1. Filter: Starting from scratch with the filters. I wanted to go the extra mile because of the turtle.. How does 2 Tetra Whisper EX70 filters sound? Open to suggestions!
2. Substrate: 2" SeaChem Flourite - Is there a cheaper substitute or is this really the only option adequate for plants? Will this be a problem with the turtle or should I use gravel?
3. Turtle Basking Dock: Planning on getting a floating platform or an attachment for him to crawl onto. As for the lamp, I have a clipable light fixture, what bulbs work best and use little electricity?
4. Light: Have a 48" hood, any recommendations for the bulb? I've read I need UVA and UVB for the turtle, which I'm assuming is good enough fro the plants as well?
5. Heaters: Are the 2-300W Regent heaters (HOB) enough? Should I consider a heater under the substrate too?
I'm sure I'm leaving a few stuff out, but that should be a good enough place to start. Any advice is more than welcomed!

Look into Turface, works as a great substrate. Needs root tabs, but most do. $20 should do your tank... might need a little more depending on your foot print
There's loads of species of cichlids, in fact the angel itself is one. Popular species in your country include convicts, jack dempseys and other big nasties with an attitude.
Additional factor, it would help if you could give any idea how hard your tap water is, that also affects your options.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

Honestly, I'm not sure how hard my tap water is. I know my LFS checks the water for free so I will bring them a cup of tap water soon and have them check it out. Regardlessly, thats fairly easy to correct right?
What about filters? Do you guys think the 2x Tetra EX70 will work? Or is there an easier/more economical route to take? Essentially I'm a junior in college so I don't have a lot of money, and my dad gave me the tank already so I don't want to ask him, but yet I still want to treat the fishies right :)
For filtration you should plan to have filters rated for double your aquarium volumn. Since you have an 80 gallon tank you should have have a combination of filters rated for at least 160 gallon. A large canister filter made by eheim or rena would be great (I have yet to try the jumbo fluval fx5 but plan too and had problems with my fluval 405).
Online will give you much better prices on equipment than in the stores.
Two 300 w heaters should be more than plenty.
For substrate you could get pool filter sand from a hardware store and add fertilizer root tabs. The sand is really cheap (I got 100lbs for $9 and it is pretty clean sand.)

The septum is the cartilage and bony partition that separates the two nasal chambers (nostrils).
The main indications for nasal surgery are:
Nasal airway obstruction is usually the result of a septal deformity that causes breathing by mouth, sleep apnea, or recurrent nasal infections that are slow to respond to antibiotics. A septal spur headache is defined as a headache secondary to pressure from the nasal septum on the linings in side the nose (septal impaction) and relieved by topical (applied to a localized area of the skin) anesthesia on the septal impaction. Other intranasal surgery indicating septoplasty includes polypectomy (removal of a polyp), ethmoidectomy (operation on the ethmoid bone at the superior part of the nasal cavity), turbinate surgery (operation on the concha nasalis), and tumor removal.
The goal of the surgery is to straighten out the nasal septum, to relieve obstructions, or other problems related to the deviation of the septum. An incision is made internally on one side of the nasal septum. After the mucous membrane is elevated away from the bone, obstructive parts of bone and cartilage are removed, and plastic surgery is performed as necessary. Then the mucous membrane is returned to its original position.
Other intranasal surgery indicating septoplasty includes polypectomy (removal of a polyp), ethmoidectomy (operation on the ethmoid bone at the superior part of the nasal cavity), turbinate surgery (operation on the concha nasalis), and tumor removal.
