Doctors Pull Plug On Michael Brown
Troubled Houston hand surgeon Michael Brown has reportedly been taken off life support.
Dr. Brown had been in a coma since going into cardiac arrest and being rushed to a hospital in Miami two weeks.
Now doctors have reportedly taken him off life support.
Just this week, it was learned Brown may have tried to commit suicide -- he was drunk, incoherent and found lying inside his closet -- a note left on his night stand.
Brown had been in the middle of a nasty divorce and bankruptcy. He also had numerous run-ins with police over the past couple years.

Week 5? Week 6? One would believe certainly before Week 8. If you're lookng for a clue as to when Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall will play in a game, don't ask him. His guess is as good as anyone else's.
"To be real, I don't know when I'll be ready to play," Mendenhall told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I'm just working with the training staff and doing what I can to get on the field. ... I just try to take it as it comes and increase things as they go along, and wherever it puts me, that's where I'll be. I just at every day and do whatever I can."
Fantasy Analysis:
It will be at least three games. Then the Steelers have a Week 4 bye, and we'll go from there. Isaac Redman figures to get majority of the carries out of Pittsburgh backfield in the meantime, as long as his balky hip holds up. However, he hinted this week that hip might affect him all season. This is not a real attractive group right now, but I think Redman as an early season flex option and Mendenhall as a late-round pick can't do you a lot of harm.

In came Gaines Adams, and out went Simeon Rice.
Just hours after Gaines Adams signed his contract with Tampa Bay, Rice was released after he failed a physical, according to the Buccaneers.
But other sources, including Foxsports.com's Jay Glazer, reported that Rice was released because, in a meeting with team officials, he refused to take a pay cut.
He was to make $7.25 million this season in base salary, and count about $10 million against the salary cap, the final year of his seven-year deal with Tampa Bay, signed in 2001.
Buccaneers general manager Bruce Allen, who spoke after the announcement, said Rice agreed with the physical assessment of his injured shoulder.
"We anticipated that he would be healthy and coming to camp," Allen said. "We held him out of offseason workouts. He needs more time to recover, and he agreed."
Rice was not available for comment, but was reportedly on his way back to Chicago on Thursday night.
He had reported to the team hotel in Celebration on Thursday on time and in a good mood, as he smiled with teammates outside the hotel entrance upon his arrival.
Allen said the Buccaneers released Rice because they had players they needed to see at Rice's position. Plus he felt keeping Rice and releasing him later might be disadvantageous to Rice.
The Buccaneers did not have to release Rice, as they were under the salary cap with him on the roster. They also could have put him on the physically unable to perform list, but Allen felt the time was now to make a decision.
Whether it was his shoulder or his contract, Rice's release is a blow to a team trying to bolster its pass rush after an anemic 2006, in which it only sacked the quarterback 25 times.
A healthy Rice, plus Adams and free agents like Kevin Carter, were supposed to rejuvenate that pass rush. Rice's presence would also have lessened the pressure on Adams and eased his transition to the NFL.
Now Adams is the likely starter at right end and will have to deliver immediately on the promise of his college career at Clemson. Patrick Chukwurah will compete with Adams for playing time.
"We have players that need the playing time," Allen said.
Rice leaves the Buccaneers with a Super Bowl ring from Super Bowl XXXVII and 121 career sacks (69 ½ of which came in Tampa Bay). The 121 career sacks is the 13th most in NFL history. He also has 584 career tackles, 37 forced fumbles, eight fumble recoveries, five interceptions and 58 passes defensed. He was especially durable, starting 160 of the 166 career games he played in.
But that durability took a hit last year when he played in only eight games, registering two sacks. He had season-ending shoulder surgery, and by all accounts was pointed toward being on the field for the first practice of training camp on Friday.
Adams signed a six-year contract, in spite of the fact that the top three picks ahead of him in the draft have not signed. He chose not to wait for the market to be set, like many top picks do.
"The main reason I wanted to be here on time was to earn the respect of the coaches and the players," Adams said. "I wanted to be here and I wanted to let them know that I'm willing to work hard."
Adams, his agent, Fletcher Smith, and the Buccaneers would not release the terms of the deal.
Smith did say that Adams was happy with the deal, and that he didn't believe that Adams' deal would be leapfrogged by the No. 5 pick, Arizona's Levi Jones, an offensive lineman.
"We didn't mind being first, as long as we got the deal we wanted, or close to it," Smith said. "If we hadn't gotten it, we would have waited."
The Bucs made Adams the No. 4 overall pick for his speed rushing skills. At 6-foot-5, 258 pounds, Adams was a first-team All-American in 2006 and finished his time with the Tigers with 28 sacks (12 ½ in 2006). He was the first defensive player taken in the draft and clearly selected to address the Bucs' failing pass rush of a year ago, which notched only 25 sacks.
He anticipated learning the pass rushing ropes from a veteran like Rice.
Not anymore.

EasyJet's response to the British Airways cabin crew strike was swift. But the additional dose of bad news for chief executive Willie Walsh is that his budget rival was not looking to snatch leisure passengers; it was after BA's coveted gold tier frequent flyers. Initially easyJet lured potential converts with the offer of free "Speedy Boarding Plus", its priority check-in and boarding scheme, when they flashed their gold card on strike days. But the second time round, for passengers flying from London Gatwick, they extended the sweetener to a month's Speedy Boarding pass.
"The reception from BA Gold Card holders was so good we thought it was only right to repeat the offer and to give passengers travelling through Gatwick an extra incentive to carry-on flying with easyJet even after the strike is over. It shows that we, at least, value their business," says easyJet UK general manager Paul Simmons. This is just one example of how low-cost carriers are raising the stakes in the battle for corporate kudos.
A dangerous combination of circumstances threaten to endanger the traditional airline business cabin. On one hand, there is one of the harshest recessions the global economy has ever seen, giving birth to a new generation of cost-conscious business travellers. On the other, there are budget carriers which are keen to give their own bottom lines a boost by relieving traditional airlines of their highest yielding customers. Combined, these factors do not bode well for the front end of the traditional short-haul aircraft.
For many companies, it is the price, not the airline brand which matters. "Companies are willing to pay a little more to support a preferred carrier but not a whole lot more," says Prashanth Kuchibhotla, director, Advisory Services EMEA for American Express Business Travel. "During bad economic times everyone clamps down on their corporate travel policy. It comes and goes in cycles."
|Have Your Say...
"I think the future of short-haul business travel is rail, sorry, high speed rail. With continuous, free WiFi, I just can't see how airlines and bothersome airport safety regulations, always in flux, can compete. I think early figures in China do support that."
Dirk, Airline Business Blog response
And, to make matters worse, IATA is warning of a "steady and structural shift" of business travellers from premium to economy seats. "On short haul markets, we have seen a continued decline over the last decade of passengers on business seats moving to cheaper seats," says IATA chief economist Brian Pearce. "This is because the advantages of full service on short routes are less than the advantages of paying less. I think that's a structural trend that we're likely to see continued. But that is not the case on long-haul routes, where the decline that we've seen in premium and business seems to be cyclical and we're starting to see that come back."
IATA director general Giovanni Bisignani highlights intra-European and domestic North American routes as the areas, adding: "In December last year, when the situation was already recovering and we had some good numbers [elsewhere], we saw European premium traffic was still down by nearly 10%."
It is not only IATA sounding alarm bells about the prospect of fundamental change. Swiss chief executive Harry Hohmeister has talked about "a tangible migration from higher to lower booking classes". Meanwhile, Walsh over at BA was early to vocalise his concerns, saying: "Personally I do not think we will see a full recovery on the short-haul premium market." Like Pearce, he observes "very clear evidence" of a structural shift, meaning that premium short-haul traffic will "never recover to the volumes we saw going into this downturn".
|Have Your Say....
"One of the main advantages of mainstream airlines is the option to change schedules on demand. Try changing a Ryanair flight to see how much time is needed and how much it will cost. Having priority in rescheduling is really what I think will guide the airlines."
Marcelo Wuo Lopes, civil engineer Brazil
Structural Shift
It is easy to see why AEA, IATA, Hohmeister, Walsh and others and are concerned that the change is structural. The same analysis for premium travel beyond Europe shows an 8.9% dip in 2009, but overall the sector grew by 15.6% over the 2005-09 timeframe.
|Have Your Say...
"Miles and status are not as important anymore as frequent and fast connections. The only routes I can think of, where a separate business class will still make sense in the future, are those between two large/rich catchment areas with a lot of high-potential business travellers, eg banking, consulting, etc. For the rest, companies probably realised during the last couple of harsh months that business class on short-haul routes is not really necessary for their employees."
Jan Willem Kappes, Cranfield University, UK
But some beg to differ. BA says the performance of its Club Europe cabin "still warrants us offering it", noting that its customers still value its frequent flyer rewards and lounges. But Walsh accepts that competition will become more intense and customer service will increasingly become a critical issue. "What is important now is the value proposition to customers," he says.
It is not only Walsh who has hit this conclusion. Bisignani says airlines around the world are assessing what actions they need to take to keep pace with the changing market. He explains: "A question many airlines are discussing now is 'what do I have to offer to a business class passenger on a two- or three-hour flight in order to create value for money? Is it different ways to access the aircraft? A really fast track to get in to and out of the airport? What kind services do I offer on board? Telephone, television, Internet? What is it?' Because that is it: that will be the decision. Passengers will return to business class if it represents value for money."
So what can airlines do to add value? Schumacher at Swiss responds: "As airports will get more crowded, one of the main differentiators will be the ground service. Clients will be ready to pay for time gains and that is something airports and airlines alike shall have to work on."
Adding Value
Schumacher adds that it is crucial to enable passengers to turn possible waiting time into productive working time - on board the aircraft, in the lounge and through fast-track airport processing. And, more importantly, he believes there is a future for the business class cabin. "There will be a demand for short-haul business class travel, depending on the level of added value the airline and airports manage to generate for the traveller and, last but not least, what prices are going to be offered in the future for such business class travel."
Airlines have to face the reality that business passengers are likely to remain more price-driven. "On short-haul it is more commoditised than before," says Lufthansa executive vice-president for marketing and sales Thierry Antinori. "I see a good return [in premium traffic levels] in long-haul, but we have to focus on this [short-haul] issue. We can adapt and we continue to offer a value for money [premium product]. But the share of economy will remain very high."
Have Your Say...
"For travel up to 90 minutes or so flight time there is no appreciable difference between the budget and traditional airlines. What you want - especially in business - is to get there, on schedule. Seating, drinks, entertainment play absolutely no role for me. There are three real values traditional airlines can add, however: first is their network, second is lounges and the third is you can book a flight one week and be reasonably sure they'll leave the schedule untouched until next week."
Anon, Germany
So the debate shifts to revenue management. "There is a mismatch between consumer reality and pricing. There aren't just two prices: one for the front and one for the back," says Henri Courpron, head of aerospace for consultancy firm Seabury. "There are 15 different prices and the odds that the person sitting next to you has paid the same price are highly unlikely." He observes how some people simply will not pay for business class, but will, for example, pay for more legroom. And in the field of ancillary revenues, low-cost carriers are again ahead of the pack.
As well as playing catch-up on charging for extras, traditional airlines are looking to squeeze their revenue management systems still further in a bid to predict behaviour and set prices accordingly. Amex's Kuchibhotla says some are already tapping their analytics to roll out new fare structures, flagging Air France as among "the first out the gate" with a proposition tailored to the "new normal".
New Model
Previously a business class ticket between Paris and Frankfurt came in at €867 ($1,178), compared with a "U Class" economy seat at €399. "Financial controllers were saying we are not willing to pay €468 to get lounge access and a free middle seat," says Kuchibhotla. He explains that Air France has rolled out some "middle ground" fares on the route, preferring to add, say €150, to its bottom line than lose the full €468. "They have moved the curtain to offer a new high-end economy fare class, with some features which business passengers will find attractive."
Have Your Say....
"The main decision driver for business travellers has become price. Within a certain range, not even schedule matters as it did just a few years ago. Flexibility? Yes, a bit, if not overpriced. On board and on the ground product? Nice to have, but not worth the price of a business-class fare. I don't think it will be long until we see most European short-haul become a pure economy class on board."
Albert Muntane, airline consultant, Spain
London City Airport sits right at the heart of the UK capital's financial district, making it a key airport for business travellers. If short-haul business class is going to work anywhere, it's here. But earlier this year Air France-KLM subsidiary and key London City operator CityJet scrapped its business class in favour of a premium-economy product.
"We have done away with classic business class on short-haul," says CityJet chief executive Geoffrey O'Byrne White, who believes that the business class cabin on short-haul is "pretty well" dead. He explains that business passengers are simply looking for flexibility and, more than anything else, to get home as soon as their work is completed.
CityJet's business class fares have been replaced by "CityPlus": a fully-flexible premium economy product which gives passengers priority status, lounge access and doubled frequent flyer points. Passengers are still seated at the front of the aircraft, but the curtain has been replaced with a seat-back marker and the airline no longer guarantees that middle seats will be kept free. Fares are charged at a £20-50 premium over economy and, at its top end, CityPlus will give a 30% saving on business class travel. "I see this as a very practical trade-up proposition for business travellers," says O'Byrne White.
CityJet's experience has shown that a lot of large corporations have switched their travel policy, opting for "the best price on the day", creating difficulties for airline planning. "There's no doubt about it, a lot of corporate travel policies have changed," says O'Byrne White. "The benefits of business class travel have been abandoned by a lot of corporate travel people because it's an obvious target for cutbacks, especially on short-haul travel."
So, as low-cost carriers seek to lure corporate travellers, is the short-haul business cabin dead? Kuchibhotla from Amex responds: "No, I don't think so - airlines might need to re-jig, re-price, re-everything, but it's not dead. You can change the label on it and call it something else, but it's still business."

The Tallmadge boys basketball team's hopes of a league title took a serious hit after losing a 58-55 decision to Nordonia Feb. 7 in Macedonia.
With the loss, the Blue Devils fell to 11-7 overall and 7-4 in the Suburban League. The Knights improved to 10-7 overall and 5-4 in the league.
Nordonia led from start to finish and scored the first 10 points of the game.
The Knights led by as many as 13 (49-36) when Max Hartman buried a 3-pointer late in the third quarter.
But Tallmadge stormed back and cut its deficit to a deuce (56-54) when Andrew Francesconi knocked down a tough jumper in the paint with approximately two minutes left.
The Blue Devils had a chance to tie or take the lead on its next possession, but they had a couple of shots rim out.
David Murray converted two free throws to give Nordonia a 58-54 advantage with 23.8 seconds left.
Francesconi made 1 of 2 free throws with 14.6 seconds left to cut the Knights' advantage to 58-55 and Tallmadge got the ball back with 8 seconds left.
The Blue Devils got the ball past midcourt and called time-out with 2.8 left.
Colten Stricker's 3-point attempt from the right side hit the backboard and the side of the rim before harmlessly falling to the floor as the buzzer sounded.
Four players reached double digits in scoring for Nordonia. Hartman drained five 3-pointers on his way to a team-high 17 points.
Eli Linder finished with 11 points and Murray and Diallo Niamke each scored 10 points for the Knights.
Francesconi had a game-high 31 points and 10 rebounds for Tallmadge.
The Blue Devils earned a 45-44 win in the junior varsity contest.
For more, see the Feb. 16 edition of the Tallmadge Express.

You make a dash for the elevator and slide in as the door is closing. Cozy: It's just you and the CEO.
Yes, this might be your chance to make a good impression. But it could also be one of his only Zen moments in the day. Do what makes you feel most comfortable, whether that's just offering a confident hello and exiting the elevator with "Have a good day" or adding something more in between. But be sure to skip the overzealous pitch. In any close encounter with a person who intimidates you―be it the CEO in the elevator or an elected official sitting next to you on an airplane―it's important to remember that he or she is also "looking to make connections and wants to know from you how things are going," says Fitter Sloane.
If he or she seems in the mood to chat after introductions, say something about the person's latest achievement, whether it's a huge merger or a new city park, says public-relations executive Sean Cassidy, of DKC, a firm in New York City. And if you have an idea that you're bursting to share, ask if you could e-mail it to an assistant.

A while ago, I introduced Colony Cats, a wonderful animal rescue in central Ohio. They have a beautiful cat adoption center in Columbus, OH, plus they have all sorts of wonderful programs to help address the cat overpopulation problem in central Ohio, including an active TNR program.
Right now Colony Cats is running a very interesting fundraiser that I wanted to share with you. They are raffling off a condo — not a cat condo, a REAL condo! Their "House for Homes" raffle is seeking to raise $125,000 for Colony Cats to help them find homes for abandoned animals. They will sell no more than 2500 tickets at $100 each, so the odds of winning could be pretty good. You can purchase as many tickets as you like at $100 each. The drawing will take place on May 7, 2011. All the raffle details can be found at HomeForAHundred.net.

Arsenal fan Tony McCoy is the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
Champion jockey for a staggering 15 years in a row, McCoy ended his long wait for a Grand National winner in 2010 and was rewarded with a landslide victory in the BBC poll.
McCoy received his prize from Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas and was introduced to the Arsenal fans at half-time during the Chelsea game on Monday night.
"It was very flattering to be among the ten nominations, and obviously it was amazing to win it," McCoy told the Official Matchday Programme. "Not only from a personal point of view, but I think it's amazing for someone in racing to win the award, because it's never happened before.
"I'm representing the sport in a way, but sometimes I feel a bit embarrassed that it's me representing racing, on behalf of so many talented people. But if it means that racing will be the better for it, then brilliant.
"It meant so much, especially as it's voted for by the public, and to be presented by Cesc Fabregas topped it all.
"I've supported Arsenal since I was a kid, they had a lot of Irish players, the main one being Liam Brady. I had the Arsenal kit from a young age and Liam Brady was the one I really looked to.
"Obviously there was Frank Stapleton as well at the time, Pat Jennings too, so there's always been a big Arsenal-Irish link. When I was really young, Pat Jennings was opening a local sports shop, and I remember going and queueing up for his autograph.
"I really followed Arsenal until the age of 15/16, then I went to live in the south of Ireland for four or five years, and it was harder to follow them as much then, but I came to England in 1994/95 and got back into it then. It was good timing!"

Quiet achiever: Markus Winkelhock shows his record-breaking form in the all-electric Audi R8 e-tron.
2 July 2012
By DAVID HASSALL
AUDI has posted an unofficial lap record for an electric car around the famed Nurburgring Nordschleife race circuit in Germany with a production-specification R8 e-tron.
The R8 e-tron – which will be released in limited numbers late this year – completed a lap of the torturous 20.8km circuit in a time of 8min09.099sec, which is as fast as a Porsche Boxster S has lapped the track.
Audi says the exercise proved the performance potential of electric cars and that "the future of electric mobility at Audi is highly dynamic".
Lap times at the Nurburgring are not audited or formalised, but the fastest time by a production car from a volume manufacturer is the 7m14.64 credited to a Lexus LFA fitted with a 'Nurburgring Package', while a Nissan GT-R has lapped the track in 7m26.70s.
A low-volume Gumpert Apollo Sport, which is powered by a 515kW Audi V8 engine, has set a time of 7m11.57s, which Audi regards as the current record lap by a combustion-engined production car.
The fastest-ever lap by an EV was 7m47.8s set last year by Toyota Motorsport GmbH, the same company that ran Toyota's Formula One team from 2002 to 2009, with an ultra-light British Radical race car fitted with two electric motors producing a combined 800Nm of torque.
Audi's production R8 e-tron also uses two electric motors, producing 280kW of power and 820Nm of torque, and can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 4.6 seconds.
It was driven by Audi works driver Markus Winkelhock, a 32-year-old German who only five weeks earlier won the Nurburgring 24-hour race in a V10-engined R8 LMS ultra.
The only change to the car was increasing the electronic speed-limiter from 200km/h to 250km/h. With the lower setting, the car lapped the track 17 seconds slower, but still well under the nine-minute mark.
Audi AG board member for technical development Michael Dick, who also drove the R8 e-tron at the Nurburgring, said that "electric mobility means dynamics and driving pleasure" to Audi.
"The R8 e-tron has given a magnificent demonstration of its potential on the toughest race track in the world," he said.
"The record-setting drive confirmed that we are on the right track. To us, electric mobility has never been about sacrifice, but rather is about emotion, sportiness and driving pleasure."
The R8 e-tron's lithium-ion battery pack stores 49kWh of energy – enough for a range of about 215km with more normal driving – and is installed low in the car, along the centre tunnel and in the area between the passenger compartment and the rear axle.
The body is made primarily of aluminum, along with CFRP (carbon-fibre reinforced plastic) components, which keeps the weight down to 1780kg, despite the large and heavy battery.
Markus Winkelhock said the record drive was a fantastic experience for him.
"Of course, the R8 e-tron is a production car, not a racing car with the assistance of aerodynamics," he said. "But with its low centre of gravity and rear-biased weight distribution, it brings with it a lot of sporty qualities.
"The torque with which the electric motors propel the car uphill beats everything that I know – even if they make hardly any noise in the process, which at the start was really a completely new experience for me.
"In places where I really need traction, the torque vectoring – the displacement of the torque between the powered wheels – really helps me."
On June 17, Audi scored the first overall victory for a hybrid-electric vehicle in the world's biggest endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with its R18 e-tron quattro racer powered by an electric-assisted 3.7-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine.
It was Audi's 11th victory in the French classic in 13 years.

Teresa Wright: Later years (See preceding post: "Teresa Wright: From Marlon Brando to Matt Damon.") Teresa Wright and Robert Anderson were divorced in 1978. They would remain friends in the ensuing years.[1] Wright spent most of the last decade of her life in Connecticut, making only sporadic public appearances. In 1998, she could be seen with her grandson, film producer Jonah Smith, at New York's Yankee Stadium, where she threw the ceremonial first pitch.[2] Wright also became involved in the Greater New York chapter of the Als Association. (The Pride of the Yankees subject, Lou Gehrig, died of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in 1941.) The week she turned 82 in October 2000, Wright attended the 20th anniversary celebration of Somewhere in Time, where she posed for pictures with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. In March 2003, she was a guest at the 75th Academy Awards, in the segment showcasing Oscar-winning actors of the past. Two years later, »

It took the slightly dishevelled Swedish Environment Minister, Andreas Carlgren, to say bluntly what many in the United Nations conference hall were thinking.
Before hundreds of the world's top climate negotiators gathered for this historic meeting in Copenhagen, he turned and pointed to the US and Chinese delegations. ''Together you are responsible for half of the global greenhouse gas emissions,'' he said. Between you two, he argued, you will make or break the world's attempt to halt dangerous climate change.
''Let this be the hall where we agree,'' he pleaded. ''Let us be able to look each other straight in the eyes and say: all in all, we are citizens of this incredibly beautiful planet and therefore we have to make this together.''
But neither the US President, Barack Obama, or the Chinese Premier, Wen Jiabao, could meet the expectations of those in the hall and millions around the world. For the world's two great greenhouse gas polluters, the immediate economic stakes and the demands of their domestic politics for now still outrank the urgency of climate catastrophe.
Whatever the messy political outcome in Copenhagen, however, to dismiss the UN climate summit as not living up to its promise is to hugely underestimate what happened during these critical few days that will be ''blessed or blamed'' for generations to come, as the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, put it.
In the largest-ever global conference, 115 political leaders came together and, almost unanimously, acknowledged that climate change is likely to be the biggest global challenge of the 21st century.
Copenhagen will mark a shift of tectonic proportions in political thinking around climate change internationally and in Australia. Scepticism about the science is now pushed further to the fringe. Global economic and security decisions of world leaders will be dominated by the difficult but inevitable shift to a clean energy future while they cope with the climate crisis.
For Kevin Rudd, his Danish counterpart, Lars Lokke Rasmussen - the conference host - and other allies like Brown, the unique gathering was no accident. This was the engineered tool to crash through for a new global climate treaty.
In the final days of the conference, prime ministers and presidents from every corner of the globe rose to their feet in the main hall and spoke eloquently and sometimes desperately about the climate threats confronting their nations.
The Bangladeshi Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, said the number of climate refugees in her country were increasing daily. Sea level rise and rising sea temperatures were destroying fish sanctuaries in low-lying deltas, further impoverishing a land where worse conditions seemed unimaginable.
Without radical reductions in global greenhouse gases, a sea-level rise of one metre is likely this century. It would inundate 18 per cent of Bangladesh and force 20 million Bangladeshis to seek refuge on higher ground.
Ethiopia's Prime Minister, Meles Zenawi, told how drought exacerbated by climate change already is sowing death across Africa. ''Africa is indeed paying with the misery and death of its people for the wealth and wellbeing that was created in the developed countries through carbon-intensive development,'' he said. ''That is fundamentally unjust.''
From Vietnam, Nguyen Tan Dzung warned that seas a metre higher would submerge 38 per cent of his country's deltas and coastal areas, including the big rice-growing areas. The result would be ''havoc''.
With such stark risks before them, however, political leaders struggled throughout the two weeks of this conference to act on the advice of UN climate scientists.
On the day Rudd and other leaders began arriving, the UN circulated a confidential report saying the pledges of all countries to cut greenhouse gases on the table at Copenhagen were so far below what was needed they would lead to a 3 degree rise in global temperatures, enough to trigger catastrophic climate change in many regions of the world.
The document was sent to leaders but leaked to Greenpeace whose global head, Kumi Naidoo, told reporters: ''This is the single most important piece of paper in the world today.'' Civilisation was at risk. A rise in temperatures of 3 degrees would devastate Africa and possibly collapse ecosystems relied on by billions. ''This document is the smoking gun,'' said Naidoo. ''It puts world leaders on notice.''
The UN's scientific advice is that greenhouse emissions need to peak by 2020 and then be halved by 2050 if the world wants a reasonable chance of keeping the global temperature from rising 2 degrees. Many believe even this is not enough. More than 100 nations represented here - including the most vulnerable small island nations, many of them in Australia's backyard - argued that temperature rises should be kept to 1.5 degrees.
Yet all power bloc negotiators dug in, refusing to move on any key issue, despite mass protests in the streets, the exhortations of bishops, priests and royalty, the calls of thousands of environmental activists and aid workers.
China, India and the developing world bloc - the G77 - and its ubiquitous ambassador, Lumumba Di-Aping, condemned the rich industrial nations, and Rudd in particular, for failing to bring to the table ambitious cuts in their greenhouse emissions. After accepting in Bali that industrial nations needed to cut by 2020 their emissions between 25 and 40 per cent from the levels of 1990, the world's rich end could muster only 16 to 22 per cent for Copenhagen.
While Europe offered to go to 30 per cent, the US chief negotiator, Todd Stern, insisted the US could not go beyond an equivalent of about 3 to 6 per cent of 1990 levels. The Obama Administration insisted it could not pledge a number without political agreement at home.
But targets were just one contentious issue. China, India and Brazil, for example, danced around on the question of how to verify their pledges to curb soaring emissions. These three giants are aware their huge emissions are central to the climate change crisis as they threaten to overwhelm the developed world economically within decades.
Equally difficult was the call by developing countries for serious money to help them adapt to climate change and transform to clean energy.
And then there is the burden of getting all of this into a legally binding agreement which wealthy countries hope will replace the Kyoto Protocol - the only treaty that imposes greenhouse emission cuts on rich nations.
With the backing of Australia, Europe and other allies, the Danes tried to shortcut complex UN negotiations by producing a pre-conference draft text. It infuriated China, India, Brazil and the G77 and backfired badly. The first week of talks was dominated by claims the rich world was trying to kill Kyoto. The Indian Environment Minister, Jairam Ramesh, accused Australia of being the ''ayatollah'' of this approach. He also pulled out of chairing a critical meeting with Australia's Climate Change Minister, Penny Wong, further slowing the talks.
Despite negotiations bogging down on two weak proposed texts coming out of UN committees, China, India and Brazil resisted until the final days before allowing Rasmussen to bring on negotiations for a new political agreement, a Copenhagen Accord. The idea was for that accord to provide a pathway to a legally binding global climate agreement next year.
Right until the 11th hour and Obama's arrival, the fight came down to who would have to start taking the big steps. Facing the reality of walking away from this historic summit with a recipe for a 3 degree temperature rise, the Danish Climate Change Minister, Connie Hedegaard - who guided days of tortuous meetings - was clearly gripped with frustration.
She told the meetings: ''I have listened to the talks, heard the many fine words and basically never understood that the steps forward had to be that small.'' She pleaded with them: ''We are all accountable. Not only for what we do but also for what we fail to do.''

Recently, I've been thinking about streamlining my WordPress theme development workflow process. It bugs me that it's taking me months to create one theme. Don't get me wrong, I love coding, creating and giving my best to building themes and in turn giving the best value for my buyers. And If I must take many months more to release a much better theme than the last one I did, I'd do it. But, practically, shaving some weeks or days from those months of work by following a more efficient workflow would be way much better for me as a developer. As for this, I have devised my own workflow (these are just general points that may change and vary) which, I hope, will make my development faster, so to speak:
- Theme conceptualization. this includes mock-up designs on paper and wireframes.
- Design. a more concrete design of the theme regarding layout and aesthetics (HTML and CSS mockup).
- Development check list creation. a full (and long) bulleted list for checking against various development points like WordPress standards, theme features, possible bugs from last theme, possible buyer requests, etc.
- Coding. the whole shebang (I think this could really be broken down to much smaller and drilled down modules).
- Compatibility. for both desktop and mobile.
- Testing. the most important aspect of the workflow which will I be spending much of the time and in which the Development check list will come in handy.
- Documentation.
All in all, I think these are general parts and I would like to further refine these points over time and break them apart into much smaller pieces. How 'bout you guys, what are your development processes?

SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM to see what I'm saying while using Firefox? What is causing this and how do I fix? I ALREADY tried repair and optimize tables in phpMyAdmin.
Why do you have 100+ comments on 1 page, you'll want to add parathion to your comments and only display like 15-25 per page

They call The Ohio State University Marching Band "The Best Damned Band in the Land." And now we know why.
Sure, they've won honors and performed in seven presidential inaugural parades. Sure, the dotting of the i in the "script Ohio" formation is an iconic moment every time.
But this Michael Jackson tribute from halftime of the Buckeyes' Oct. 19 game against Iowa, including a
marching moonwalking formation in the shape of Jackson's iconic "Billie Jean" video character, speaks for itself. The band staged the tribute to honor the 25th anniversary of the release of Jackson's album "Bad."

• WEDDINGS: Women without a date, mate or a child may not be expecting the happy event to be very happy for them at all, and that's a shame. Preparation is the key. A new dress is the easiest part; of course you'll be the best looking female there. The toughest challenge is inside your head. Read More
Give moral support to couples who choose to make their ceremony or reception "Adults Only."More than a few parents can be upset by this decision, perceiving it as a rejection of themselves and their children. In most cases, the newlyweds aren't anti-child, but they are budget-conscious.
• MARRIED, NO KIDS: Clicking around Experience Project, a site humming with the stories of everyday people, I found an open-ended post that asks, "A childless marriage is like a ___?"
'What a strange question' was my first thought. My real answer is simple and feels very true: A childless marriage is like a celebration of love. What's yours?
• GIRLFRIENDS: Research has found that women are calmed by the very act of hanging with girlfriends. Females respond to stress by releasing a hormone called oxytocin, you see, and by befriending each other, we generate even more of it. (When men are stressed, they produce high levels of testosterone. Who's surprised that testosterone negates the soothing benefits of oxytocin?)
• LOOKING FOR LOVE: Super-sized dating sites like Match.com and OK Cupid offer a "childless" filter to review people without children only. There's also a free dating/networking site, No Kids Passions, part of the niche-focused Passions Network. But, some NotMoms report slim pickings. What advice can you share with women (and men) about finding compatible dates online?
• HEALTHY HOOK-UPS: Relationships can be hard work, whether they're romantic or simply social. Comedian (and NotMom) Chelsea Handler shares the best advice she ever received on sustaining personal connections:
• FINDING FRIENDS: Parents, fatigued, stressed and all the rest, enjoy various opportunities for new interactions with peers, but geography and other factors can cause NotMoms to work a little harder to find each other, In 2008, a Denver woman wondered why she couldn't find girlfriends the same way Match.com finds dates. Her solution: SocialJane.com. Post a profile and search the database. Also for women only: GirlfriendCircles and Girlfriend Social and Girlfriendology.
• NOT DADS: About the same proportions of men and women in a 2012 British study said they wanted kids (59 percent of men and 63percent of women). Among that group, half of the men said they experienced "isolation" because they weren't dads, while just over a quarter of women said the same about lack of Mom-hood. All that prattle about feminine hormones? Out the window. If you want to be a parent and you're not one, it can hurt. Gender doesn't really matter. Read more
• PITY, ENVY & REGRET: Beyond the demographic where people still question the choice to be childless, we move on to new perceptions which come in three general forms; regret, pity, and envy. Assumptions of how we'll feel in the future, or envy for the lifestyle we enjoy. Read More

Yes! Glad you are back! Hope that everything is better. I look forward to see my favorite helmet thread completed!
Thanks guys, very kind words. Hopefully have some pics soon!
Hello all, my apologies for not being around for such a loong time. (My lack of participation is disturbing) Life has a way of taking you away from your hobbies sometimes. And my little project got shelved. Thanks to the latest Star Wars movie for reminding and rekindling my interest again. Much to my wife's annoyance. Hope my old friends here are well and still have keen eyes. Because I feel like I have to learn to start crawling before I can walk through the rest of this paint up.
Stunning job Hobbit. Just got an airbrush for Christmas so I'm busy studying all the paint up threads. Love your approach. Thanks for sharing.
I remember this thread and I'd like to see this finished.
Okay! Some progress! Not a big update but progress is progress. I attached the right ear to the lid. I hate doing anything too permanent. Like drilling and gluing Lol! I have to wait to paint the ears as my maskol is all dried up over the years. But I can use that time to get back in the groove and get busy researching. More to come.
looks, good! btw, did the decals come in the kit? if you know where to buy them, let me know. id like to get my hands on some of those bad boys!!!
Hey Ryan, thanks No decals with this kit. If you're referring to the ear decals? Not sure if there were any available or not. I'm going to paint them on later. Not sure where you can get them though... sorry. It's possible Bobamaker makes them.
I used some kind of letter set from a model railway. There's a particular sheet number I can dig out unless anyone remembers of the top of their head.
Woodland scenics sheet MG737
Condensed gothic, black.
Cost four or five pounds.

Quick update! Can't go any further until my maskol arrives (probably Wednesday). But I have mummified Boba's lid for some ear waxing.... or painting.... What was I saying? *ahem
Anyhoo! Metallic silver (Humbrol 11) for the right rangefinder ear and a splash of Cpt. Scarlet (Humbrol 60) on the left ear. Hopefully this'll make sense in the next few updates... Thanks for looking
Here is a quick update on my ears and I'm happy to say, I have finished all the base colours now. With just some stickers, touch ups and a WHOLE LOTTA weathering!! Rangefinder ear Humbrol grey 79 then sand 94. Left ear grey 28+64 mixed 1:1. and green 159+78 mixed 1:1 (all paint colours mixed to Terminal Fettlers/Jayvee's ESB paint ups.)
Please feel free to comment and let me know if you think I've missed anything. (remember I still have ((painted)) decals to add). Cheers!
I think it looks awesome cant wait for more updates
QUOTE=ScottS;678984]I think it looks awesome cant wait for more updates[/QUOTE]
Thanks Scott!
A nice bumper update for y'all! Here's some pics of prepping with masking tape......Masking on a hot, humid, stormy day... is a fracking nightmare! I did make a small boo boo with the left ear sticker (the right bottom edge not being long enough). But all-in-all the overall look is quite nice. The right (Rangefinder) ear is still in between coats, so not much to show there. But, here's a few pics of the whole thang minus the rangefinder. I love ripping off (very gently), the masking tape and paper.... better than Xmas man! Thanks for looking. Enjoy my friends!
Hey folks,
Another quick update on my bucket. I did a LOT of weathering this weekend. Rust marks around the trim, splatter marks and MORE scratches.
The ears are nearly done, just a few touch ups. Still have more scratches and various grease/misting and splatter marks to do.
Also the rangefinder stalk isn't painted or weathered yet.... more to come. Let me know what you think.... Thanks for looking!
You nailed that, looks so beat up is there any electronics to go in it?
Looking great Brother! Hope mine turns out half as good!
cheers to yah!
I agree it looks awsome. I can't wait to get my bobamaker hard parts.
Did you also get bobamaker's armor as well or just the bucket?
That is one mean-looking Fett. Great work!
I'm coming out of left field on this given that I'm brand stinking new to vocally contributing, but I wanted to tell you: Seeing your progress from start to near-finish is awesome. You are doing an absolutely fantastic job and encouraging me to get going on my own project. Keep it up! Can't wait to see the finished product.
Thanks guys, truly awesome you all are! If that doesn't inspire me nothing will.
I got RKD armour (Red Kray Dragon)... does anyone know what happened to him? I have more armour and greeblies to get and he doesn't return my messages anymore.
That's an awesome comment Slappyman, I literally had NO experience doing this before, but because of this superb website and SO many helpful people... Rafalfett, Jayvee, SuperJedi, Terminal Fettler, Darth Vorhees.. to name a few. I would never be able to achieve this. I thought putting in all my mistakes would hopefully help people.
One mistake that I wanted to improve on was the back panels. I've never been happy with them so I have rubbed them back and have already applied the base coat and started masking. Shouldn't take too long to do. Watch this space
Whereabouts in Australia are you located, I'm aussie too!

Swissray Global Healthcare established in Taiwan
By Joy Lee, The China Post Wednesday, April 24, 2013, 12:08 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan --Taipei Medical University (TMU) Chairman Lee Tsu-der (李祖德) yesterday announced the founding of Swissray Global Healthcare Holding Limited (Swissray) in Taiwan, in collaboration with the government's policy of "One Alliance for one Medical Device."
Lee, who is also the chairman of Swissray, successfully finalized the acquisition proposal with the former owner of the Swissray Group, which consists of fully owned subsidiaries including Swissray International in the U.S., Swissray Medical AG in Switzerland, and Swissray Asia in Taiwan, with help from the CHC Group Chairman Lee Pei-ling and Ambassador to the WTO Lin Yi-fu in 2011.
Lee said that there has been a dramatic increase in demand for X-ray systems globally, especially in Asia, so Swissray funding will help integrate the research capabilities and market channels of Switzerland, the United States and Taiwan.
"Swissray is going to elevate the medical technology industry by leveraging the strengths of its new-found partners in academia, government, industry and research groups," Lee said, "creating a complete supply chain and manufacturing alliance to bring Taiwan's technology and innovation to the world."
Swissray Chief Executive Officer Jack Lee (李典忠) also said that it is important for Taiwan to promote its medical products and industry to the world through this opportunity.
"Through the globally recognized brand, Swissray, it will pave the way for us to introduce Taiwan's medical production and research capabilities to the global market, especially to the fast-growing Chinese and Southeast Asia markets," said Jack Lee.
"This deal was not only a great business success," Jack Lee said, "but it also represents a major milestone signifying the elevation and globalization of Taiwan's medical industry."
Lee Tsu-der, who has been serving as a board member of Taipei Medical University for 18 years, said that he has came to understand the value of global brands and channels, and the critical weakness of brand awareness of industries and products in Taiwan.
"CHC Chairman Lee Pei-ling and I worked together to commence a series of analyses on marketing and acquisition strategies," Lee Tsu-der said, "and with the help of Ambassador Lin and the government's support, we were able to be one step ahead of (parties in China and Singapore) in finalizing this acquisition."

Sanction and Anti-Terror List App ("SaATLA")
The SaATLA is a background check app for smartphones, which enables the user to collect and to transfer personal data or information on organisations and to the Advantage Compliance Server at dbh Logistics IT AG datacentre and to receive the check results. This app utilizes the available mobile network and a SaATLA compatible smartphone. SaATLA facilitates the compliance with the compulsory Anti-Terrorism Order to verify customer ID. The purpose of this order is to deprive terrorists and terrorist organisations access to any and all economic resources. Anyone found guilty of non-compliance with this order will be punished with tough penalties. This is a legally binding order and every accountable economic operator must make appropriate provisions, in order to pre-empt deliveries or payments to terrorists or their organisations. The SaATLA ID background check app establishes, whether a specific person or organisation is listed on any of the standard sanction lists. This app is free of charge as a trial version for a maximum of 6 weeks subsequent to download. Should the user regularly use the app on a long-term basis, the user must conclude a standard Advantage Compliance Server ("ACS") Agreement with dbh Logistics IT AG. In such instances SaATLA solely constitutes an additional communication channel, through which the subscriber can execute a sanction and anti-terrorism background check, over and above the standard ACS range of functions. By purchasing, downloading and installing this app the user exclusively acquires the limited test use of the SaATLA application. No claims can be raised for a use of SaATLA beyond the maximum six week trial period nor the use of the Advantage Compliance Server Services as operated by dbh Logistics IT AG.
ACS itself is an instrument for determining whether a person or organisation is listed on any boycott and sanction list. The verification utilizes the latest sanction lists currently published by the Federal Gazette ("Bundesanzeiger"). This data is protected by copyrights and may not be given nor communicated to any third party.
dbh Logistics IT AG cannot be made responsible or liable for the correctness and accuracy of the sanction lists. The reconciliation uses a fuzzy algorithms, which determines the probability of a hit. This is in turn subject to a best practice approach and can be influenced by parameterization. The final decision on the allocation of a person to a sanction list rests on the client, who may ask a competent authorities such as the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control ("BAFA" or Bundesamt für Wirtschaft und Ausfuhrkontrolle) for additional support.
The user can thereby minimize the risk of infringing his/her statutory obligations. The prosecution of such infringements by the German Customs Office or judicial authorities not only involves monetary penalties but also severe damage to a company's image.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I have the Vans Fargo Focus BOAs. The Focus BOA system is a dual zone tighenting system with a knob for each specific zone, one for the boot and one for the ankle. So, you can customize the fit much more than the traditional laces. Just crank it up and you're good to go. Convenience is phenomenal as I can tighten or loosen my boots in a matter of seconds while my friends will complain about their boots and have to fix them. I don't think I will ever go back to normal laces. As far the specific boot, you gotta try them on.
32 Focus Boa?
i have been checking out boots and im really liking the 32 focus with the boa system... i know boots are all comfort and to try them on and see how they fit, but what can you guys tell me about these? or any other boot i should also look into.

/// That's It. We're Calling It. The Healthy Start-Up Office Craze Is Official.
When GroupMe co-founder Steve Martocci threw out his desk chair for a Bosu ball to lose "the founder fifteen," we had an inkling it was only the beginning. After all, at least some of those early Fitocracy adopters had to be coming from inside the tech scene. Then we found out Michael Galpert–Aviary's own, personal self-quantifying fiend–was trying to foster (healthy!) competition in the workplace through a shared employee database measuring weight loss down to the pound.
But ff Venture Captial partner David Teten has really gone and done it. He emailed Betabeat to let us know that that ff's new ergonomically-optimized 5,000 sq. ft. office space on 6th Avenue can basically tell GroupMe's single Bosu ball can suck it, although not in so many words.
In a blog post that reads not unlike a motivational sermon, Mr. Teten explains that, like any good techie, ff was aiming for disruption, namely of the broken white collar model of sitting at a desk for 8-12 hours and thinking that three gym sessions a week can offset that. (Based on the massive crick in our neck that doesn't show any signs of healing, we're with him on that.)
Mr. Teten explains that since they had the luxury of building the space from scratch for ff's team and portfolio companies like Parse.ly and Phone.com, they did it with a few maxims in mind. Motion over statis. Standing over sitting. Supplement with green coffee when you can. No added costs to living well. And flat surfaces. Did you know, for example, that "up to a third of women suffer permanent problems as a result of their prolonged wearing of heels, ranging from hammer toes and bunions to irreversible damage to leg tendons"? We wish we could forget it!
In any case, here are just some of the amenities ff staffers and its start-ups can expect: "a standing desk with anti-fatigue comfort mat," conference rooms with ball chairs, hand grippers (for flexing during tense term sheet phone calls), pedometers, wobble boards, and "walking meetings." Although those are technically outside the office.
Did we say the craze was official? Maybe we meant officially crazy.

This book analyses many aspects of the present EU regulatory framework for public contracts, especially public procurement, taking the ongoing reform process into account. First, several chapters discuss the regime of the Public Sector Procurement Directive 2004/18/EC governing the procurement activities of the EU Member States, the coverage of the Directive, qualification and technical specifications, procurement procedures, and award criteria.A specific chapter describes the EU principles applicable to contracts not covered or partially covered by the Directive, which have been the subject of relevant developments in the case law of the European Court of Justice. Another chapter covers sustainable procurement. Second, three chapters are devoted to special procurement regimes, namely public private partnerships, defence and utilities. Third, the review and remedies regime for public procurement is covered in two chapter. Fourth, one chapters goes beyond public procurement and looks at the effect of EU law on the contract management of public contracts, after their conclusion. Fifth, three chapters go beyond the regulation of the Member States and look at the EU law regime applicable to contracts of the EU institutions. Sixth and finally, a concluding chapter provides a critique of the EU legal framework by an author from outside the EU.

Ummah Design For Sisters Too
By Aziza on Dec 10, 2009 with Comments 0
The Ummah-Design Team have often been asked if they have a sisters department, I think this is frequently because many sisters feel more relaxed (and I'm sure their husbands will feel more comfortable too. hehe.) when they can correspond and liaise with a fellow sister rather than one of the brothers.
Well the answer is yes, we do Alhamdulillah have a sisters department that is always available on request to answer any queries or concerns that you may have and we are pleased to announce that we have now opened a new twitter account for our sisters (http://twitter.com/UDsisters) which will be regularly updated and maintained by one of the sisters in our Team inshallah.
We would like by the Will of Allah to introduce this into our blog as well, so that sisters too can benefit , advice and comment on relevant posts that we plan to compose with sisters issues in mind, so please feel free to follow us and post your views and comments Inshallah.
Wassalamu alaykum.

About Us – History of Our Bluetooth, Earbud, & Tablet Cases Company
The "BluCase" was invented out of necessity. The founder Bill McCurdy saw a need to protect Bluetooth headsets from damage and loss. After several broken Bluetooth headsets he looked for a solution for his problem and discovered that the solutions that where available did not meet his expectation of totally protecting Bluetooth headsets from damage or loss.
In 2008, he started researching ways to totally protect Bluetooth headsets. After several design changes, he came up with the final design and filed for patent protection. In 2010, Mr. McCurdy started looking for a company that could help him design his new patented product idea. He was lead to a product development company in Michigan, that helped design a prototype, CAD drawings, and the rest is history. The "BluCase" was born.
BluCase, LLC is an innovative company that designs products to totally protect Bluetooth headsets and other hard to protect products. Our company was founded in 2011 and we are located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It is our goal to provide "superior" products to our customers. We realized that there was a "need" that had not been met by our competitors. That "need" was total protection for Bluetooth headsets. We strive to be the "best" and in doing so we provide top quality products to our customers, we "guarantee" them total protection from damage or loss of their Bluetooth headsets when using our products.
Once again we thank you for visiting our website and we know that you will find our products to be of top quality. Furthermore, we hope that you will be a part of our BluCase family of satisfied customers who are living "worry-free."
