Center for Housing Policy's New Case Studies: "More than a Roof"
The Center for Housing Policy's new brief in its Ideas for Housing Policy and Practice series describes efforts by public housing agencies to help residents make progress toward economic security. The report profiles agencies running four initiatives: the Family Self-Sufficiency program; the Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership program; Earned Income Tax Credit Outreach; and Individual Development Accounts. It concludes by highlighting two innovative approaches that merit consideration by agencies seeking to expand economic security opportunities for their residents.
With housing assistance currently available to only about one in four families who need it, and no prospects for increased federal funding on the horizon, many of these PHAs see economic security efforts as essential for expanding the number of families able to benefit from rental assistance. By helping families that currently receive housing assistance to make progress toward economic security, the PHAs that run these initiatives hope to free up rental assistance for other families.

THE BABY BLOG: Down To The FINAL THREE...
WOW I can't believe we are in our 3rd trimester! We are 11 weeks away from our due date!!! AHHHH!!
In just a short time, our lives will be forever changed. It's hard not to feel like you are running out of time at this stage. I sometimes feel like I need to do something crazy (but really, what can a pregnant chick do that is crazy!)
I guess having a baby is crazy enough!! :)
It has finally hit home that this is REALLY happening! She is REALLY coming!
With me having my 1st child and Ant having his 2nd after 11 years, we really are venturing down a road we have never been on together. I believe everyone when they say it's a joy and feeling like nothing else. You will never be the same after you have a child. As exciting as that is, I feel a tab bit bad for even thinking and being a little sad that my old life is coming to an end.
Don't get me wrong, I know it's for an amazing reason and I couldn't be happier about that.
I often think that I'm not even an adult, even though I'm married, 30 years old and own a house. But for whatever reason, being pregnant and getting ready to have a daughter of my own, I can finally say I feel like an adult and I have grown up. It's no longer about me. It truly is all about my family, husband and our girls. There is something very empowering in saying that.
I mentioned in one of my early blogs about being a hot mess and that I no longer feel like my put-together self that I was. I now feel like I'm a hormonal hot mess. Getting to the end of pregnancy and the reality of it all has made me think about life in such a different way.
Maybe that is part of becoming a parent??
Our older daughter, Hannah, asked me the other day how she thought our relationship was going to change once Gracie got here. I suddenly felt like I was going to cry because she posed a question that I have been thinking about for a while.
How WILL it change??
Will our relationship change for the better? How will I juggle being a mom to a newborn and a part time mom to an 11 year old? Will I be good at this?
All of those questions have crossed my mind, but were never said out loud until Hannah asks her question. She told me she was very nervous about Gracie coming; she expressed that she feels like everything will be different now. I will be Gracie's real mom and I'm just her step mom. For a moment I couldn't even argue with her.
At this point in the conversation I was fully crying and just wanted to hold her and find a way to erase her fears. All I could come up with was to say is that I love her more than she will ever know! I love her for the joy that she brings to my life and that she isn't just my stepdaughter. I feel and believe and consider her and call her my daughter. There isn't a separation in my eyes between her and Gracie. She is just as important to me as Gracie will be and I love them both the same.
It was such an eye opening moment and finally made me think and face my fears.
I'm starting to feel like a real mom and I don't have all the answers. I know I will make a million mistakes but all I know is I will always protect our girls and love them through everything life throws our way.

"The iQ has completed the package for our facility," states John Ramsay,
executive producer. "The advanced editing features of the iQ - like having the
picture and audio together on one timeline - work really well for us because
most other systems simply cannot perform these functions very well at all."
Midway Games recently came to the studio for help posting a
trailer for the new game Stranglehold,
directed by John Woo. The trailer (WATCH THE VIDEO) was edited and designed by Doobie White and
finished by VFX artist Wren Waters.
"The game programmers come to us with a special console
which allows us to cheat," says Ramsay. "We capture hours of game play and
focus on the really exciting sequences. Games trailers require lots of editing
plus heavy effects and compositing work, all of which is done totally in HD on
the iQ. We can then do whatever deliverable we like, but the full data is
there. The iQ saves us tons of time because we usually need a film print for
theatrical release, an HD and also an SD version for broadcast. We just
choose the format to output, press the button and away we go."

Swiss Re AG, the world's second- largest reinsurer, wants to see a 50-year government bond in Canada as the company seeks investments that offset long-term liabilities while low interest rates depress returns.
The reinsurer is urging the government to follow through on its proposal last year to issue ultra-long bonds, according to Sharon Ludlow, chief executive officer of the Zurich-based company's Canadian unit, which manages about C$10 billion (US$9 billion) in fixed income. The Ministry of Finance debated the plan without reaching a decision.
"We've started to prepare the federal government for discussions about issuing longer-term bonds," Ludlow, 47, said in an interview at Bloomberg's Toronto office on Jan. 28. "Can we do something up to a 50-year bond? There's some real thinking around what the industry at large needs to invest in to match these very, very long-term duration liabilities we have."
The insurance industry needs the bonds to fund obligations as policyholders live longer and a prolonged period of low interest rates cuts into returns. Swiss Re is part of the effort to revive the issue after the Ministry of Finance had second thoughts about it last year. The 30-year security is the government's longest.
The Finance Ministry may refer to its consultations with the insurance industry in the budget that's scheduled to be presented Feb. 11, said David Tulk, chief macro strategist at Toronto-Dominion Bank.
'Big Appeal' "From the perspective of the government of Canada, their sole objective in terms of issuance is to achieve the lowest cost of financing," Tulk said Jan. 29 from Toronto. "Over the last couple of years, the government has been trying to extend the maturity of its own bond portfolio. Very long-duration assets such as long bonds issued by the government of Canada — which we know is triple-A and lovely — does have very big appeal."
Insurers rely on a stable fixed-income investment portfolio to back their policies, gaining from increases in interest rates. They have been challenged as the Bank of Canada has held its benchmark overnight rate at 1 percent since September 2010, the longest such stretch since the 1950s, and yields on government bonds have fallen.
'Some Willingness' "We've made representations to the Department of Finance to consider long-term bonds, and I believe they've stated some willingness to take a look," said Frank Swedlove, president of the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association, which represents 99 percent of Canadian life and health insurers. "The government should really just consider doing it."
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty unveiled the ultra-long proposal in the 2013-14 budget as the government planned to extend the maturity of its own bond portfolio in a bid to lock in low interest rates. That included considering a bond due in 2053, according to the budget, which was released in March 2013.
Then, in October, Flaherty questioned the market's interest in debt that matures in four decades or more as investors prepared for the end of four years of unprecedented monetary stimulus by the world's central banks.
Government-bond yields began rising in May after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the U.S. central bank could reduce its stimulus if the economy showed sustainable improvement. The yield on Canada's benchmark 10-year security climbed to a 2013 high of 2.82 percent on Sept. 10 from 1.67 percent on May 2. U.S. 10-year note yields rose to 3.03 percent on Dec. 31 from 1.61 percent on May 1.
'Magnified Impact Investors including Pacific Investment Management Co., the world's biggest bond-fund manager, began selling long-term debt to cut duration, or sensitivity to higher interest rates, to minimize losses from rising yields. An increase in yields cuts more value from longer-dated notes.
"By definition, any move in interest rates is going to have a magnified impact on the price," John Braive, money manager at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce's CIBC Global Asset Management unit, said Jan. 31 by phone from Toronto. "The government wants to have an orderly market in securities, and they don't want to see investors getting upset that the market in these securities is absolutely dreadful and they can't get out of the position."
Bond yields have eased this month, with those on Canadian 10-year bonds closing at 2.34 percent on Jan. 31 and yields on their U.S. counterparts at 2.64 percent.
Bond Losses Canadian government bonds maturing in 25 years and more lost 13 percent last year, according to a Bank of America Merrill Lynch Index. It was the biggest of their three annual losses since the measure was started in 1996.
The BofA Merrill Lynch Canada Government Index, the broad measure of federal bonds, declined 2.3 percent, while the BofA Merrill Lynch Developed Markets Sovereign Bond Index slipped 0.3 percent.
The proposal for longer-term Canadian bonds hasn't been dropped, according to Jack Aubry, spokesman for the Finance Ministry.
"The government is assessing the potential benefits of issuing bonds with a maturity of 40 years or longer," Aubry said in an e-mail statement. He declined to say whether the issue will be highlighted in the budget released next week.
Japan, Mexico Ultra-long government debt is issued in Japan, which sells 40-year bonds. While Mexico issued 100-year securities, the so- called century bonds due in 2110 slid 19 percent last year amid speculation the Fed stimulus that fueled global risk appetite will dry up.
Government bonds accounted for 21 percent of the Canadian life-insurance industry's investments in 2012, the second- largest share, according to 2012 CLHIA data. Mutual funds had the biggest share, 26 percent.
The insurance group has been in discussions with the Finance Ministry for several years. In a Nov. 15 submission to the department and the Bank of Canada, the organization said life and health insurers "strongly support" the government's consideration of issuing debt maturing in 40 years or longer. CLHIA hasn't heard back from the government on the comments, Swedlove said.
The group plans to send the government a set of policy recommendations relating to long-term investing in the months following the budget release, Swedlove said.
The so-called white paper "will be the catalyst for really moving the discussion forward," said Ludlow at Swiss Re.

Duluth-born and Hibbing-raised Bob Dylan has traveled musical and cultural byways in the United States and all over the world. Called "the American troubadour," he is hailed by some as the poet laureate of the 20th century. In time for Dylan's 74th birthday, rarely viewed images of the international music icon arrive in Northern Minnesota — mere blocks from Bobby Zimmerman's boyhood home.
The GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles and the City of Hibbing present "Daniel Kramer: Photographs of Bob Dylan," a pictorial exploration of Dylan's breakthrough year (1964-1965). The exhibit is open for viewing 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., on Friday and Saturday through Aug. 23 at the Paulucci Space Theater in Hibbing (times may vary during the Hibbing All-Class Reunion, July 5 –13). Admission is free. A gift from Bob Dylan's hometown of Hibbing, the exhibit appears in celebration of Dylan Days and Hibbing High School's 2014 All-Class Reunion. The Paulucci Space Theatre is located on the campus of Hibbing Community College (HCC), at 1502 East 23rd Street, Hibbing.
Photographer/film director Kramer's work is known worldwide in documentaries, major national and international books and magazines, and on album covers. His subjects include artists, authors, musicians, athletes, and political and business figures. Kramer's photographs are widely collected and exhibited. Brooklyn-born, he and his wife and collaborator Arline Cunningham Kramer reside in New York City.
In his GRAMMY Museum interview, Kramer admitted he hadn't heard of Dylan until he turned on the TV to watch a new singer on "The Steve Allen Show." It was Feb. 25, 1964.
"I saw this guy — young, alone, a guitar — and he was singing 'The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll,'" Kramer recalled. "It was riveting."
A young photographer at the time, Kramer was developing a portfolio and taking photographs for various magazines and assignments. Interested in new photo subjects, he thought Dylan would be fascinating. He asked and was politely — and repeatedly — told "No thank-you."
Kramer was hooked. Kramer explained, "Since I was turned down, it was two things: I'd like to photograph this guy and I want to photograph this guy." After seven months of calling and writing Dylan's manager Albert Grossman, persistence paid off. Catching Grossman off-guard, Kramer received a "yes" and an invitation to spend an hour with Dylan in Woodstock, NY. He found himself shooting photos of the burgeoning artist over the next year.
Kramer's photographs depict Dylan's rapid rise from obscure folk artist to renowned cultural icon. Rare images of the famously private singer/songwriter document unguarded moments with friends, as well as backstage glimpses of the "Bringing It All Back Home" recording sessions and the controversial "going-electric" concert at Forest Hills Stadium.
GRAMMY Museum Executive Director Bob Santelli is a lifelong Dylan fan. He described the genesis of "Daniel Kramer: Photographs of Bob Dylan." A former music journalist, he was also curator at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland and the Experience Music Project in Seattle.
"I always wanted to do a Bob Dylan exhibit," Santelli told the opening night audience at the HCC auditorium (adjacent to the Paulucci Space Theatre exhibit site). "It had never been done before."
A child of the '60s, he admired Dylan as "immensely important in many ways." During his tenures in Cleveland and Seattle, Santelli continually requested permission for a Dylan display.
Eventually, Santelli received approval to create an exhibition mirroring Martin Scorcese's highly acclaimed 2005 Bob Dylan documentary film "No Direction Home," featuring Daniel Kramer's iconic images. Thanking local collectors for contributions of Dylan memorabilia for the exhibit, he acknowledged in particular the now-shuttered restaurant named in honor of Dylan's original name. "We had artifacts and photographs that we brought back from Hibbing and Zimmy's," Santelli said. "It showed a part of Bob (people hadn't seen before)."
He noted, "That exhibit traveled all over and was a great success for us. It established a relationship between Dan and (me) because people loved the photographs."
When the Music Museum of Paris asked the GRAMMY Museum to reproduce the exhibit ("Dylan is huge in Europe"), Dylan's representatives agreed to the project. Santelli recalled, "We decided to build it around the photographs of Dan Kramer." He noted Hibbing's representation in Paris, adding, "Many of the photographs you have on the wall here in Hibbing were in Paris."
"A big hit," the exhibition moved to Great Britain in 2012 for a half-year residence at the London Music Experience. Returning to the United States, it was reconfigured to become a traveling exhibit and headed directly to Northern Minnesota.
He said, "The GRAMMY Museum (is) really excited we could come here, be a part of Dylan Days and bring Bob home in a way that most cities don't get to do." In the rock and roll world, if Hibbing is mentioned, Santelli noted, Bob Dylan comes to mind. "Your favorite son ranks very high — if not the top — as the most powerful man in popular culture and world arts, still a vibrant and vital artist. Something to be proud of, for sure."
Santelli summarized, "As artists get older, they recognize their legacy begins in their hometown." He added, "Clearly, Bob had no problem with us celebrating his Hibbing roots and Hibbing heritage in the exhibits we did. He appreciates where he comes from and that his hometown plays an important part in his career."

I'm 18 and living with my parents at a boarding school in NH--our house is owned by the school and on campus (thus easily within a Gun-Free School Zone). My father's contract forbids him from keeping a weapon in the house, but as I understand it, if he doesn't know he isn't liable, and as I signed nothing of the sort, the worst that can happen is that they ask me to get rid of it or move out.
Failing that (and I will seek legal counsel before I do something that could hurt his job), I could store the gun in my car outside, and then it needn't be a secret.
But this situation raises a number of questions for me:
1. Does the NH handgun license provide an exemption to the Gun-Free School Zones act? Does this exemption apply to being ON campus, or just within 1000 feet of them? (If it does not, I believe I would then still be OK to keep the gun in the car on the road, technically off-campus).
2. How well do references for the NH license have to know you? What's asked of them? I took a firearms safety course and considered asking the instructors to be references, as everyone I know personally either knows my father (and if he were informed, he could face troubles) or is associated with my school--again, this could cause problems for my dad.
3. As I'm under 21, I can't purchase a handgun from an FFL--Does anyone know of NH regulations about private sales? I understand that in some states the buyer must be 'personally known' to the seller, but that you are exempt from that if the buyer possesses a handgun license.
Anyone who can shed a bit of light on my predicament will be rewarded with e-thanks and a thumbs-up icon. :smile:

So far, I haven't been disappointed. Sure, it sometimes has wonky routes, and it's annoying that it doesn't show the current street you're on...

Thanks for this great writeup! My expectations are a little higher now regarding the system.
I've been spoiled by Garmins for years, so I know there will be some disappointments. I still don't regret getting the NAV system. I'll certainly experiment when my car arrives in a few weeks. I believe the biggest benefit for me is not having to setup the portable one every time I need it. Having it available at all times will be really nice and a first for me.

Television Contributes to Violent Behavior in Children. Joanne Cantor.
At Issue: Violent Children. Ed. Bryan J. Grapes. San Diego: Greenhaven Press, 2000.
Television Contributes to Violent Behavior in Children
Table of Contents: Further Readings
Reprinted from Joanne Cantor's testimony before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Education and the Workforce, Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Youth, and Families, April 8, 1998.
Joanne Cantor is a professor of communication arts at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is the author of Mommy, I'm Scared. The focus of her book and her research has been the effects of mass media on children. This viewpoint is adapted from testimony Cantor gave before the House Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Youth and Families on April 8, 1998.
There is overwhelming evidence that the viewing of violent programs on television contributes to violent behavior in children. The media glorifies and trivializes violence and sends the message to young people that violence is an acceptable way to solve problems. Children are much more susceptible to violent programming because they have not yet developed the ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Prolonged exposure to violenttelevision programming desensitizes children to the consequences of violence. A more thorough ratings system is needed to ensure that parents will be able to screen out television's harmful effects.
Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, I am pleased to appear before you to present my views on the causes of violence in children. For the past 23 years, I have been a professor at the University of Wisconsin, focusing my teaching and research on the effects of the mass media on children. Recently, I have participated in the National Television Violence Study, research that explores the television landscape and the harm done to children by exposure to television violence. I have a book due out in September 1998, titled Mommy, I'm Scared, which helps parents protect their children from the effects of media violence. Finally, and not the least important, I am the mother of a nine-year-old son, so I can address these issues as a parent as well as a researcher and author.
As you will hear today, there are many factors that contribute to children behaving violently. Having done research on this issue myself, and having reviewed the vast and growing literature on this topic, I can say without hesitation that media violence is a substantial contributor to our children becoming violent, becoming desensitized to the consequences of violence, and becoming fearful of being a victim. Media images of violence make their contributions both in the short-term, immediately after viewing, and in the long-term as a cumulative effect of repeated exposure to violent images throughout childhood. There is an overwhelming consensus on this point among researchers and among public health organizations. Our youngest children are the most vulnerable, both because they are in the process of forming their own sense of right and wrong, and because they are not yet adept at distinguishing fantasy from reality. A recent meta-analysis of more than 200 studies involving more than 1,000 comparisons showed that viewing violence in programs of a wide range of types consistently contributes to a wide array of violent behaviors ranging rom stated intentions to commit violence to actual criminal violence.
How violence is portrayed
Research shows that the way violence is portrayed can make it more or less likely that a child will adopt violent attitudes or become violent. For example, violence that is committed by "good guys," that is shown as justified, and that shows little visible pain or harm is more likely to be imitated than violence committed by evil characters or violence that brings pain or punishment. The National Television Violence Study, which recently released its Year Three report on the most representative and extensive sample of television programs ever studied, showed that not only has violence remained at a high level on television (3 out of every 5 programs contain violence), the way most violence is portrayed is destined to promote children's aggression. For example, in more than 40% of programs with violence, the "bad" violent characters are never punished; and only 4% of violent programs portray a theme that promotes nonviolence. Moreover, more than half of the violent interactions on television show no pain, and almost 40% of violent interactions show good guys behaving violently. If someone set out to design an ad campaign to promote violence by making it seem glamorous, effective, risk-free, and painless, they could hardly do better if they tried.
When we see children commit unspeakable and unexplainable acts of violence, it is natural to ask whether repeated exposure to media violence that is glamorized, sanitized, and trivialized contributed to their behavior. There is no doubt that each tragedy is the result of many unhealthy influences working together. But when a child resorts to gunfire to correct what he sees as an injustice, is it unreasonable to think that repeated exposure to violent incidents on television—25% of which involve guns —might have provided encouragement to act that way? In many of these well-publicized incidents, the young perpetrators seem surprised at the severity of the consequences to themselves and their victims. Maybe the fact that violence on television usually underplays violence's negative effects has something to do with this.
Although television violence is not the strongest contributor to children's violent behavior, it is the one over which we may have the most control. Producers and distributors of television programs make choices of what to show, and it is in their power to provide programming that is more or less likely to produce harm.
What else can we do besides urging the media to be more responsible?
Television distorts reality
We need better parent education about the effects of media violence on children. When parents understand the harmful effects, they will be motivated to act in protective ways. We also need to promote media literacy education for children. Teaching children about the effects of television and teaching them the ways in which television distorts the reality of violence can help reduce many of the negative effects of what they see.
Speaking personally as a parent who has a TV, a major problem is that TV automatically makes available in my home thousands of programs I would never select if I were making the choice. Rather than having the option of selecting what I want my child to see, everything is accessible at the touch of a remote, and I only have the option of playing defense— actively working to shield my child from what I consider the worst of it. Given that I must play defense, I need accurate information about the content of programs. TV ratings can help but only if all stations (including NBC)1 use ratings that at least point to where the violence is: and the ratings will need to be assigned accurately and consistently. Blocking technologies like the V-chip, that will permit parents to keep the most harmful programs from entering our homes, will need to be effective and user-friendly.
If all of us want to help parents socialize their children well, it will be important that research be continued to monitor the TV landscape and to keep tabs on how appropriately television programs are being rated, whether the existing rating system needs to be modified further and how well the V-chip and other blocking devices are working. We need to ensure that these new tools really help parents reduce TV's negative influences and help promote children's healthy development. In spite of the enormity and complexity of the problem of child violence and the fact that aggression-promoting images seem firmly entrenched in the television landscape, I believe that media education for parents and children, better labeling of programs, and effective blocking tools can really make a difference

Mental illness, poverty haunted Afghan policewoman who killed American
By Michael Georgy and Mirwais Harooni
KABUL (Reuters) - The Afghan policewoman suspected of killing a U.S. contractor at police headquarters in Kabul suffered from mental illness and was driven to suicidal despair by poverty, her children told Reuters on Wednesday.
The woman was identified by authorities as Narges Rezaeimomenabad, a 40-year-old grandmother and mother of three who moved here from Iran 10 years ago and married an Afghan man.
On Monday morning, she loaded a pistol in a bathroom at the police compound, hid it in her long scarf and shot an American police trainer, apparently becoming the first Afghan woman to carry out such an attack.
Narges also tried to shoot police officials after killing the American. Luckily for them, her pistol jammed. Her husband is also under investigation.
Her son Sayed, 16, and daughter Fatima, 13, described how they tried to call their parents 100 times after news broke of the shooting, then waited in vain for them to come home.
They recalled Narges's severe mood swings, and how at times she beat them and even pulled out a knife. But the children said she was consistent in bemoaning poverty.
"She was usually complaining about poverty. She was complaining to my father about our conditions. She was saying that my father was poor," Sayid said in an interview in their damp, cold two-room cement house.
On the floor beside him were his mother's prescriptions and a thick plastic bag filled with pills she tried to swallow to end the misery about a month ago. On another occasion, she cut her wrist with a razor, Sayed said. Continued...

My diff only took 1 liter of fluid?!
2000 323i 5speed 170,000km
Today I did spark plugs (NGK) and Diff Fluid (Redline) and threw in a magnaflow resonator.
Here is an album
The Diff Fluid:
I drained the fluid, only about 1 liter came out, there was no metal shavings, but the fluid was dark. It was still very clean, but dark. When I filled the diff back up I was only able to fit one liter (one bottle) before it started coming back out. My car was not perfectly level. The rear end was a couple of inches higher than the front end. So theoretically I might have overfilled it, but I was only about to fit one liter in. I drove the car for about 20km without issue.
My repair manual says I should be able to fit 1.73 liters.
The pictures will show you exactly how much came out...
Should I be worried?
Also I took some other random pics of my car, and noticed a power steering fluid leak which I will work on soon.

Insight: France's love affair with nuclear energy cools
By Muriel Boselli
PARIS (Reuters) - For decades, the elite engineers turned out by Paris's grand Corps des Mines academy were faithful followers of the pro-atomic creed that transformed their country into the most nuclear-reliant nation in the world.
But a new generation of Mines graduates is starting to question that policy. It is a change of mindset that could aid efforts by President Francois Hollande to cut reliance on nuclear power from 75 percent to 50 percent of the electricity mix by 2025.
"Noone at the Corps des Mines questions the need for nuclear power in the energy mix, however the younger generation is more concerned about the environment and leaving room for other energy sources," said Francois Bordes, a 40-year old Corps des Mines graduate who advises businesses on energy efficiency.
Bordes is part of a generation of Mines engineers who believe atomic energy has a role to play - but not the dominant one given it by elders who helped build the world's second-largest nuclear program after the United States.
"There is a generation gap between Mines members who had key jobs during the three booming post-war decades and those who started out in the past 15 years," Bordes added.
The Corps des Mines was founded in 1794 to turn France's now-exhausted coal mines to the advantage of Europe's industrial revolution. But after World War Two it won a new raison d'être when Corps des Mines engineer Pierre Guillaumat worked with De Gaulle to create the state-funded CEA nuclear research body.
It became an example of French post-war "dirigisme" - the policy under which the state seeks to direct the economy - determining how nuclear energy was used for civilian and military purposes, with the development of France's atomic bomb.

First, please note that you can't put the extra Mathematica character
codes into messages here, you must spell them out - e.g. \[PlusMinus]
This operator has no built-in meaning (like many others supplied by
Mathematica), so the operator does nothing by default. However, it is
easy to make it do something useful. For example you might decide to
expand a list of expressions that contained this operator, using
transformation rules.

Product Description
As the world's smallest Pepper Ball Launcher, the GOBLIN SOLO is a single-shot pistol that uses a rechargeable Air Cartridge.
Interchangeable 'barrels' on the Air Cartridge enable the firing of .68 caliber Pepper / paintballs at the velocity of 250 fps (76 m).
The Duel GOBLIN Air Cartridge is recharged with an Air Adaptor included with the Duel GOBLIN SOLO Set, and can take either CO2 or compressed air (HPA).
When the SOLO is fired, the entire charge of air is used to launch the Pepper/paintball. The SOLO can be stored or transported together with 4 or 5 loaded cartridges, enabling the user to reload and shoot multiple rounds if necessary.
In order to deliver relatively consistent performance using a variety of compressed air sources, GOBLIN Air Cartridges use a series of O-Ring seals and valves to store and then release each air charge. As many of these parts are extremely small and operate at high tolerances, continual O-Ring wear requires that these seals be replaced from time to time. A spare O-Ring Kit is included with each GOBLIN 'SOLO' set, and replacement is covered in the GOBLIN 'SOLO's Owner's Manual.
Length: 4 7/8"
Width: 1 1/8"
Height: 3"S

Hagerstown Leaves Delmarva with Series Split after 3-1 Win
July 31, 2011 6:37 PM ET
RHP Matt Swynenberg (4-1), the winning pitcher of record, was stellar through 6.0 innings, allowing just one unearned run on six hits, walking one and striking out two.
Delmarva flocked home the first run of the game in the 2nd inning when DH Michael Ohlman knocked a groundball to SS Jason Martinson that caromed off his glove for an error, allowing Ohlman to reach first base. Shorebirds C Joe Oliveira was hit by a pitch from Swynenberg to put runners at first and second base. SS Garabez Rosa laid down a sacrifice bunt fielded by 1B Brett Newsome and slung on to 2B Blake Kelso covering the first base bag. Then, 1B Adam Gaylord lifted a bloop single to right center field that got down in front of RF Kevin Keyes giving the 'birds a 1-0 lead.
Shorebirds LHP Matt Bywater tossed 5.0 scoreless frames and left the mound in line for the win after giving up three hits, walking five, and fanning four.
Hagerstown tied the contest in the 6th stanza when 1B Brett Newsome lofted an opposite field solo home run off the eventual losing pitcher, RHP Tim Adleman (5-6) over the left center field wall, his fifth dinger of the 2011 season.
Adleman allowed three earned runs on five hits through 4.0 innings, surrendering one walk and striking out four.
In the 7th frame, the Suns manufactured a pair of runs to take a 3-1 lead they would not give up as Kelso wrapped a one-out double up the left field line before C David Freitas earned a two out base-on-balls, his fourth walk of the game. Keyes would then crush a line drive into the left field alleyway that chased home both Kelso and Freitas.
RHP Shane McCatty (1 SV) was bulletproof through the final three innings of the game, mowing down nine in a row to earn his first save of the season, while striking out one.
The Suns are now (9-6) against the Shorebirds, their cross-state Sally League rivals, in the 2011 campaign.
The Suns travel through the night to Hickory, NC to begin a four-game road series, the back leg of their current bus trip. Wall-to-wall radio broadcast coverage will begin with a 6:50pm Break Away 2 Sports Lounge Pre-game Show on the Suns radio flagship station, WJEJ 1240 AM. The starting pitching matchup will feature RHP Nicholas Tepesch (6-3, 3.27) against LHP Matt Grace (10-5, 4.25).
The Hagerstown Suns play at Municipal Stadium in Hagerstown, MD and are a Class "A" affiliate of the Washington Nationals. Season ticket packages, group outings, and corporate sponsorships are available by calling the Suns at 301-791-6266. Visit the Suns on the web at www.hagerstownsuns.com.

Casio XJ-S30 and XJ-S35 Super Slim Projectors
Casio XJ-S30 and XJ-S35 Super Slim Projectors :
Casio Europe GmbH and its parent company, Casio Computer CO., LTD., have announced the release of the Super Slim Projector, a new data projector product. Two models will be available: the Casio XJ-S35 Super Slim projector and the Casio XJ-S30 Projector. Casio Computer Co., Ltd., will start shipping the new projectors in the third quarter of 2006. Casio's series of data projectors, initially released at the end of 2003, is well known for compact size and brightness. The series also won kudos for being the first data projectors with a wide-angle 2X zoom lens. This series of projectors has won rave reviews from both businesses and schools, and are used for a broad range of applications.
Casio XJ-S35 and Casio XJ-S30
With the new Super Slim Projector (models Casio XJ-S35 and Casio XJ-S30), Casio has made components such as the projection lens and light source much smaller, achieving a significant reduction in the height of the unit to just 43 mm (32 mm at the thinnest point). In addition, the high-end Casio XJ-35 model enables users to make PowerPoint and other presentations without a PC. A whole new breed of communication tool, the Super Slim Projector expands on what users can do through innovations in both form and function.
Super Slim Projector - Wide angle zoom lens
The Super Slim Projector's wide-angle 2X zoom lens gives it the best range of any data projector on the market images can be projected from as close as 0.84 m. It also delivers remarkable brightness of 2000 ANSI lumens, so users can make presentations without dimming the lights. This groundbreaking new mobile projector is great for small, everyday meetings and major presentations-and everything in between. Accompanying the new data projectors,
Casio YP-100 - Presentation Kit
Casio is also introducing the YP-100 Multi-functional Presentation Kit, an accessory that acts as a support tool for presentations that use data projectors. Casio Computer Co., Ltd., will start shipping the YP-100 in the third quarter of 2006.

• Casio YP-100 Multi-functional Presentation Kit
Casio XJ S30 Projector - Condenser lens
The Casio XJ-S35 and Casio XJ-S30 data projectors deliver 2000 ANSI lumens of brilliant light in a 43mm thin package (32 mm at thinnest point), thanks to Casio's proprietary light source and cooling technologies. This makes it easy for users to carry the Casio XJ-S35 and Casio XJ-S30 along with a notebook PC for use in client meeting rooms and other bright locations, with no need to dim the lights, High-efficiency, thin-design optical unit An aspherical reflector and a condenser lens with a new shape maximize the characteristics of the light source lamp, enabling a dramatic reduction in the unit's size. Single-fan, two-chamber cooling system The body is divided into two sections with a high static pressure fan located between the two. In addition, a heat pipe is provided in the exhaust section, a first for a projector, to disperse heat and provide efficient cooling in a small space.
Casio XJ S35 - Presentation without PC
Still images (JPEG/BMP) and video files (AVI format files compatible with MPEG 4 or Motion JPEG) stored on portable USB memory can be projected simply by inserting the USB memory device into the projector's USB port. Even Microsoft PowerPoint files can be projected after converting them on a PC (with Windows 2000 or XP) using software that comes with the unit, enabling users to make smart and speedy presentations without a PC. Additionally, Casio's YC-400 multi-functional camera system, which can project non-digital documents and three-dimensional objects on a screen, can also be directly connected without using a PC.
Casio S35 - Wireless Connection
Supports Wireless Connection with Windows PC (XJ-S35 Only) The Casio YW-2S USB Wireless Adapter is available as an option. Up to four Windows (2000 or XP) PCs can be wirelessly connected after installing simple software. This makes it easy to conduct meetings that bring together multiple presentations on different PCs in locations removed from the projector.
Casio Wide angle projectors - Zoom lens
The Casio XJ-S35 and Casio XJ-S30 projectors feature a wide-angle 2X zoom lens that is highly compact thanks to the use of a molded-glass aspherical lens for high image quality and a lead-screw drive system that puts lenses in-line within the lens tube. This enables images to be projected from as close as 0.84 m, or as far away as 1.7 to 3.4 m when using a 60" screen. This versatility allows for use in small meeting rooms to larger conference halls and classrooms.

FLORENCE, SC – Two members of the Francis Marion University softball team were recently named to the 2012 Peach Belt Conference All-Conference Team.
Senior second basemen Ashley Jaramillo and sophomore right-handed pitcher Taylor Luff were selected to the All-PBC second team. This marks the third straight year Jaramillo has earned All-PBC recognition.
Jaramillo, a product of Canyon Country, Calif., led FMU with 40 RBIs (seventh-best in the PBC) to go with a .333 batting average. She tied for team-high totals for runs scored (29) and home runs (6) – the latter figure ranks 16th in the Peach Belt.
