Less than one day into the ring, Jacques Duchesneau has already showcased his larger-than-life personality and sparked further doubts about his ability to be a team player in the world of politics.
Speaking to a Montreal radio station, the ex-cop said he would be the "conductor" – the "chef d'orchestre" – of the Coalition Avenir Québec's anti-corruption effort. In particular, Mr. Duchesneau said he would oversee a number of departments in Quebec City that are part of the fight against corruption, such as municipal affairs, natural resources, transport and public safety, including appointing ministers.
The statement by the star CAQ candidate, recruited on Sunday as a potential "game-changer" in the campaign, quickly threatened to undermine the leadership of party leader François Legault.
"I will be deputy premier," Mr. Duchesneau told radio station 98.5 FM on Monday morning. "It's out of question that I would be a deputy premier like we had 30 years ago, which is a bit of an honorific title. I have responsibility over those departments, with the possibility of naming the ministers. Overall, I am responsible for the fight against corruption, like a conductor," he said.
The CAQ quickly clarified Mr. Duchesneau's statement, with the party stating on its Twitter feed that Mr. Duchesneau would only be "consulted on nominations linked to the fight against corruption and collusion," but would not have the final say over them.
"There will be only one boss," Mr. Legault told reporters Monday.
Mr. Duchesneau also stunned reporters on Sunday when he said that he had conducted "due diligence" over the CAQ and Mr. Legault before joining the party. According to La Presse, Mr. Duchesneau tasked two lawyers, including his son, to look over the party's books and its various candidacies.
Normally, in politics, the party screens its new recruits.
Quebec Liberal Leader Jean Charest said his party's books are open and he was surprised to see that a candidate for another party would task a lawyer to look at its books before jumping in.
He also poked fun at the notion that Mr. Duchesneau would have more power in a CAQ government than Mr. Legault, who is a prolific user of social media in this campaign.
"If I understand correctly, François Legault will run the Twitter account and organize cocktail fundraisers, while Jacques Duchesneau will run the rest of the government," Mr. Charest said.
He also rejected the CAQ's analogy that Mr. Duchesneau would be "Quebec's Eliot Ness," in reference to the man who brought down Al Capone in Chicago.
"Eliot Ness was a police officer, not a politician," Mr. Charest said.
According to Parti Québécois leader Pauline Marois, Mr. Duchesneau's ego is turning out to be a serious problem for CAQ leader François Legault. She said the comments reflect improvisation within the CAQ, an indication that Mr. Legault isn't ready to govern the province.
"What is going on right now isn't very serious. It is total improvisation," Ms. Marois said. "It is amateurish and it is also a lack of understanding of how government works."
The naming of ministers is the premiers' prerogative and a deputy premier wouldn't have say over the matter, as Mr. Duchesneau claimed, she said.
Ms. Marois said that by naming candidates to ministerial positions before he was even elected, Mr. Legault was counting his chickens before they hatch.
"First you wait until the election is over," she said. "Then you name a cabinet based on regional representation, based on a balance between men and women. "
The PQ leader said she had at least four or five candidates who could easily become finance minister or cultural minister. But Ms. Marois refused to give names, saying that people simply had to look at the resumes of her candidates to determine who they are.Report Typo/Error

Photo gallery: Downey-Pasadena boys basketball
PASADENA - Pasadena High School's boys basketball team blew a 16-point lead entering the fourth quarter of its CIF-Southern Section Division 1AA first-round playoff game against visiting Downey, but had enough late to pull out a 71-68 win on Friday night.
The Bulldogs watched in disbelief as Downey got hot and turned what was a 60-44 deficit into a 66-66 tie with 1:18 left to play. Fortunately for Pasadena, swing man Andre Spight was not about to let the season end.
Spight rattled home a jumper in the lane and later two free throws to put Pasadena ahead 70-66 with 23 seconds left. Downey came again. The Vikings got a jumper by Jacob Garcia to make it 70-68 and sent Pasadena guard Nick Brown to the free-throw line for two shots with 10 seconds left.
Brown hit the first, but missed the second and eventually Vikings guard Dakari Archer came out of a battle for the rebound with the ball and was able to get off a running 3-pointer for the tie that hit the backboard and rim and bounced off.
"When the game got close, my name was called and I took over," said Spight, who scored nine of Pasadena's 11 points in the fourth. "We got it done.
"They were playing harder than us, bottom line. I didn't think it was going to be a tough game like this."
Pasadena improved to 21-5. The Bulldogs will play at Loyola in Tuesday's second round. Downey finished 16-12.
Despite being held to just two points in the first half, Spight was ready when his team needed him. He scored 16 in the second half and was the Bulldogs' only answer to Downey's run.
The Vikings used a mix of drives and outside shots to climb back in the game while Pasadena sputtered on offense. Spight's 3-pointer off one leg to put Pasadena up 66-61 momentarily halted Downey's run with 2:35 left to play.
"I shot that off one leg and I practice that every single night at the park," Spight said of the shot. "Just so you know, it's the first time I tried it in a game and it worked at a big-time moment."
Pasadena rode its decided size advantage inside to a 20-10 lead after the first quarter and a 40-28 lead at halftime. The Bulldogs, however, had no answer for Archer, who had 19 points at halftime and finished with a game-high 33.
Still, Pasadena appeared to be in total command after Brandon Jolley flexed his muscles down low as the third quarter wore on and helped his team turn a somewhat close game into a burgeoning blowout entering the fourth quarter.
Downey scored the first eight points of the fourth quarter to immediately get back in it, and in a matter of just less than five minutes turned a double-figure deficit into a tie game.

Acura Supercar Concept, Part 2
Looks like we're getting another design direction, and not a production version, of the much-anticipated next-gen Acura NSX supercar in Tokyo.
The ever-cautious Honda apparently needs the public to go gaga before it can commit. So, we'll see a more refined "design direction" in Tokyo. It's now looking like closer to 2010 before the NSX will be the headliner for the brand.
And there are further ramifications. The 2009 NSX was to be the cornerstone of the rollout of the Acura brand in Japan, so it appears that plan also is delayed a couple years from the original 2008 target.
Acura is rolling out its 2008 lineup amid record sales of the MDX SUV and strong demand for the smaller turbocharged RDX. But August sales in the U.S. were down 10 percent overall, and year to date the luxury brand is off by more than 8 percent.
Acura execs say their goal for this year is to hold the line on sales, during what they describe as a product lull. But they promise to keep us scribes hopping with product news in the next two years (we can spell NSX).

Detailed Accident Report
Submitted By: Eastern Sierra Avalanche Center
Place: Mt. Tom; Elderberry Canyon
State: CA
Country: USA
Fatalities: 2
Summary: 5 skiers caught in 2 seperate avalanches, 1 injured, 2 buried and killed
Official Report will be posted when available.

Mt. Tom avalanche kills 2 skiers and injures one other
On Saturday, March 26th, 2005 the Eastern Sierra saw its first two avalanche fatalities in
almost 10 years. This is a tragic accident that is deeply affecting members of the local
community. While it is extremely important that we get information out to the public quickly
and effectively, it needs to be done with care to assure that all the details are accurately
reported. We appreciate your help in this matter.
Mt. Tom (13,652?) sits as one of the landmark peaks of the Eastern Sierra, just west of
Bishop, Ca. One of its most popular ski descents is Elderberry Canyon, a long glacially carved
canyon that swoops from the North Ridge of Mt. Tom near 12,000 ft. to the mouth of the
canyon at 5,400 ft. near the Pine Creek road outside Rovana.
From March 19th to March 25th, the eastern Sierra received 5-8 inches of water with snowfall
amounts of 66 inches recorded at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area (Please see
patrol.mammothmountain.com Wind loading associated with these storms created
extremely unstable snowpack conditions with many skier triggered slides reported from both
the backcountry and the ski area.
Accident Report
A group of 7 skiers, comprised of Eastside locals and visitors, climbed Elderberry Canyon on
Mt. Tom on Saturday, March 26th. The group planned on skinning the canyon to the
North Ridge, where they would ski back down the way they came up. By 1:30pm they had
reached the ridgeline (right around 12,000?) at the top of the canyon and were beginning their
descent. The first two skiers safely skied a broad east facing bowl-like portion of the canyon,
just below the ridge. The remaining portion of the party waited in a safe zone above as the
3rd and 4th skiers entered the slope. Just after doing so, the entire slope released on them in a
soft-slab avalanche. Crown sizes varied from approximately 2 to 4 ft. In addition, one of the
flanks ran from the top of the bowl down the south ridge approximately 700 to 1,000 ft. Both
skiers were caught and carried down the slope with the large amount of debris about 1,500?
before being buried on a large bench-like moraine.
After seeing the slide, the remaining 3 skiers above quickly hurried down to begin the rescue.
Upon doing so, they caused a second avalanche, slightly higher and to the north of the first
slide. This slide caught all 3 skiers. One was able to escape, one rode the slide, staying on
top for roughly 1,000? and a third escaped after a short distance after breaking her fibula.
Once the 4 uninjured skiers reached the deposition zone, a beacon search began. The first
victim was recovered within 20 minutes. The second victim was buried under 3.5 meters of
debris and took about an hour to reach. CPR was attempted. One victim is a middle-aged
male from Bishop, Ca, the other a middle-aged female visiting from Montana. Names are not
being released at this time.
No crown profile or formal avalanche observations were made at the time of recovery. A
large number of natural releases had occurred on all aspects over a wide range of elevations
in Elderberry Canyon. It is also important to note the amount of snowfall over the past few
days, as well as the strong ridge-top winds which had transported a large amount of snow
into the canyon.
As more information becomes available, we will release it. For more information on this
accident, please contact Nate Greenberg at the info above.

Billboard companies need to pay their fair share
Which property owners in District 4 have the special privilege of paying less than $40 a year on property taxes?
a) You
b) Senior Citizens
c) Disabled Veterans
d) The multi-million dollar billboard industry
If you answered "D", you are correct! The billboard at the corner of Edgebrook and Rt. 51, the one with my photo on it, was sold for OVER 5 MILLION DOLLARS in 1997 yet pays less than $40 in city and school taxes. I would bet that you pay much more than $40 in property taxes on your home! To top it off, billboards are estimated to reduce their surrounding property values by as much as 30%.
Given today's hard economic times, it is vital that we close tax privilege loopholes that let corporations off the hook. We all have the responsibility to protect our neighborhoods from crime and neglect. That's why Council President Darlene Harris and I are fighting to make sure that everyone pay their fair share. We have introduced legislation to hold multi-million dollar billboard companies accountable for the city services that enable their profits. This much needed revenue will pay for City of Pittsburgh police cars, which need to be replaced regularly at a cost of $2-3 million per year.
Stand up to the bullying billboard industry and hold the line on our property taxes! Join our public hearing on October 30th at 1:00 PM and tell City Council to pass this legislation to ensure that middle class taxpayers don't subsidize corporate tax privileges! Registered speakers are given 3 minutes each--if you would like to take part and make a comment, please call 412-255-2138. Questions about the bill? Feel free to call our office at 412-255-2131.
Working to make South Pittsburgh a better place, every day
Fall is always a busy time, and this past month has been no exception! I had the pleasure of spending many of my days and evenings out in the neighborhoods, talking to you or your neighbors at various meetings, events, and celebrations! I found some wonderful treasures and delicious food at the Beechview Big Flea, and my staff and I returned to Beechview again to attend the First Annual Harvest Festival. I want to give a big thanks to the Crested Duck Charcuterie for organizing that event, and BREW on Broadway for welcoming my staff and I for the day. We also had a lovely time celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Brookline Block Watch, where we were also joined by Councilmen Bill Peduto and Bruce Kraus. We're making waves in South Pittsburgh!
• Colteryahn Dairy in Carrick is the only functioning dairy remaining within the City limits. It's been a community anchor and landmark along Brownsville Road for generations. That's why I'm excited to announce my partnership with the Colteryahn Dairy, the Carrick Community Council, Economic Development South, and the Office of County Executive Rich Fitzgerald to redesign the surrounding business district on Brownsville Road around East Meyers Avenue. We will soon contract with an architect to create a new vision for that area, including everything from storefronts to street infrastructure, like sidewalks and landscaping. This is yet another important step toward the revitalization of our great Carrick neighborhood!
• I spoke at the Overbrook Community Council (OCC) meeting in late September about other great projects:
Design work is now underway on a major park & ride development on Rt. 51. This work will serve to attract public and private money to build new infrastructure. I carved out the funding for this important design in the 2012 Capital Budget.
You may have seen a new look for the Accamando Center of Overbrook (the old Fire Station). We've been working with the OCC and Department of Public Works to repair the clock, paint the woodwork, and make other exterior renovations to restore this community gem! Currently it is a meeting space for many community organizations and home of the Pittsburgh Boxing Club.
City Council recently approved zoning changes for the new location of the German Club of Overbrook, which is moving because of the Route 51/88 reconstruction. The old building is being demolished and a brand new building and parking lot are being built nearby on Underwood Street, which will allow the Club to remain in our neighborhood for years to come.
• I hosted a group of young women from the Ellis School and Chatham University who are learning about political involvement and social change, spoke to the esteemed members of Zonta International, a group that provides scholarships to Pittsburgh Public Schools graduates, and gave a keynote speech about civic leadership to more than 60 incoming members of Leadership Pittsburgh.
• I've heard from many of you who have concerns about the safety of our streets and intersections. We work hard and collaborate with other city departments to find solutions to these concerns--like street signage and speed enforcement. Sometimes, though, the best solution isn't entirely clear or easy. For that reason, I hosted a hearing about safe streets in our neighborhoods. We had a full panel of experts join us, including a school crossing guard, traffic police, members of the Public Works Department, and cycling advocates, to talk about their experience enforcing the laws and designing safe streets. We learned about interesting traffic design and mitigation initiatives proposed by Traffic21 at Carnegie Mellon University. Several members of council joined us and shared my concerns for our streets, and the city's process for evaluating concerns. It was an excellent start, but there are many more questions left to be answered. I will continue to push for these answers, so that we have a straightforward way to improve our streets. For more information, you can watch the entire hearing online.
• I was thrilled to again perform in Off the Record, a musical satire of Pittsburgh politics, which over the past 12 years has raised over $330,000 for the food bank. Jon Delano, Ken Rice, and David Johnson, among others, showed their funny sides, and I hope those of you who were able to attend had as much fun watching it as I did behind the curtains!
• Other meetings that I had in the past month... Met with non-profit and business owners concerning the Carnegie Library's strategic plan... Sat down with representatives from PNC Bank to discuss investing in South Pittsburgh... Learned about Rebuilding Pittsburgh Together, a group that provides no-cost home repairs to senior citizens who can't afford the costs on their own--if you're interested in receiving services or volunteering, call them at 412.922.0953... Was inspired by members of the Bhutanese refugee community living in South Pittsburgh... Attended the Amen Corner Law Enforcement Awards luncheon that honored Western PA's bravest police officers, honoring a total of 29 officers as well as recognizing the induction of fallen officers Derek Kotecki and John Dryer into the Law Enforcement Hall of Fame. South Pittsburgh Zone 3 police officers who were recognized for their service include Officer Lawrence M. Connolly and Officer Brendan J. Nee who received the "Starsky and Hutch" award for their fast action to save the life of a man who jumped from the Birmingham Bridge, and Officer Matthew Smith and Officer Angie Lane who received the "To Protect and Serve" award for responding to a call for a domestic assault and murder that led to the arrest and prosecution of the suspect.
Good news you don't hear on the news
As a way to throw a spotlight on the awesome things that are happening in District 4, I sponsor proclamations that are presented on our Tuesday morning meetings. Below are proclamations I sponsored in the past month:
October 2. Brookline's Little League teams have been active for decades--generations, even--but this year, the Rita's Italian Ice Pinto League softball team shattered those records, completing their second undefeated season. Click here to read the proclamation.
October 2. This is the twelfth year that Pittsburgh Newspaper Guild and Pittsburgh Screen Actors Guild have joined forces to put on their Off the Record live performance that pokes fun at the past year's Pittsburgh events and prominent figures, all while benefitting the food bank. Click here to read the proclamation.
October 9. The Brookline Block Watch celebrated its twentieth anniversary and continues to go strong, providing an opportunity for conversation between residents, law enforcement, and elected officials. Who knows neighborhoods better than those of us who live in them? Click here to read the proclamation.
October 16. The Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, and as the keystone of their anniversary, they are dedicating a new urban trail that will enhance the education and quality of life for their students. The trail includes an outdoor pavilion, a swing set that can be used by children in wheelchairs, and a simulated crosswalk that can help teach children how to cross the street safely. Click here to read the proclamation.
October 16. Spencer United Methodist Church in Carrick is celebrating its 175th anniversary. Their history is rich and fascinating, and their anniversary theme of "Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors" has held true since way back when the neighborhood was called Spiketown! Click here to read the proclamation.
You do not need a photo ID to vote this November! Voter ID law blocked by judge
In March, the state legislature passed a law that required very specific forms of ID required to vote at the polls in November. The law sparked controversy and created a lot of confusion, and for that reason I called for a Council hearing which took place on September 12. You can watch that hearing here [http://pittsburgh.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx].
But now, due to an injunction issued by Judge Robert Simpson on October 2, the Voter ID legislation is on hold until after this November's election. Based on that decision, you may be asked for photo ID, but you do not have to show ID to vote as normal. Also, if you do not show ID, you are not required to vote using a provisional ballot. If this happens to you, or if you're told that you can't vote at all without a photo ID, call 866.OUR.VOTE (866.687.8683).
If you're voting at a polling place for the first time, though, you will have to show some form of ID (but it doesn't have to be a photo ID). If you use an ID that doesn't have a photo on it, it must list your name and current address. The types of ID that you can use are:
PA driver's license or other ID issued by PennDOT
ID issued by a PA or U.S. agency
U.S. passport
Military ID
Student ID
Employee ID
Voter registration card
Gun permit
Recent utility bill
Recent bank statement
Recent paycheck
Recent government check
If you have any questions or concerns about voting this year, please give my office a call at 412.255.2131.
District-wide clean-up day scheduled for October 20
Cold weather is right around the corner. Unfortunately, when the leaves fall off the trees and our green hills turn bare, we are often left with piles of unsightly trash and dump sites.
We know our neighborhoods are better than this. It doesn't have to be this way!
This is why I'm inviting you join me and hundreds of our neighbors for one of the biggest neighborhood clean-ups we've ever seen--this Saturday, October 20, 2012. Neighborhood volunteers will be joined by University of Pittsburgh students and will descend upon three locations in South Pittsburgh--Rt. 51 in Overbrook, Duffland Street in Carrick, and Broadway Avenue in Beechview--to clean up litter and illegal dumping.
So join us, on Saturday, October 20, at 11:00 a.m. if you'd like to take part!
To volunteer, please RSVP at this link or by calling my office. Breakfast and refreshments will be provided for all volunteers. Gloves, garbage bags, and safety vests will also be provided. Volunteers are asked to wear sturdy shoes and long pants.
All you have to do is show up! Mark your calendars today, and please fill out this registration form if you plan to attend! Volunteers should meet at one of these three spots at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 20.
Overbrook Clean-Up
Where: Accamando Center of Overbrook (former Firehouse) at 2410 Saw Mill Run Boulevard, on Rt. 51 at Maytide (parking in rear of building)
What: Picking up litter and dumped materials along Route 51
Carrick Clean-Up
Where: Corner of Duffland Street and Nuzum Avenue (street parking)

Beechview Clean-Up
Where: Brew on Broadway at 1557 Broadway Avenue, 15216 (street parking and metered parking lot)
What: Picking up litter along Broadway Avenue, Wenzell Avenue, and Crane Avenue
Did we mention you should register? Tell your friends to register. Please let us know if you can participate by filling out this registration form. We'll need all participants to sign up in advance so we can plan for enough supplies and food. See you on Saturday!
Beechview Community Garden is winterizing
Also on October 20 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the folks at the Beechview Community Garden (across from 810 Rockland Avenue) will be spending their final workday of the season preparing the gardens for winter. There's lots of work to do, and they would appreciate anyone interested in helping out. All tools will be supplied, along with water and snacks. For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Yard debris pick-up set for November 10
It's that time when the trees all over the district are shaking loose of their leaves. After you finish raking them, are you buried up to your neck in them? Environmental Services will be picking up leaf and yard debris from all City residents on a special collection on Saturday, November 10. Residents must bag leaves in paper bags only and place them out at your normal refuse collection site. Bags should not exceed 35 pounds, and leaves should not be placed in plastic bags. If you have tree branches and bushes, cut, bundle, and tie them in lengths not exceeding five feet. Tree branches should not exceed four inches in diameter. Please note that City crew will not collect dirt, rocks, stones, cement, manure, lumber, or food waste, and yard debris not meeting the above guidelines will not be collected by City crews.

A reminder about the City's spay and neuter program
Thousands of cats and dogs come through our City's animal shelters every year, and only a fraction are eventually adopted by families who can give them a home. The most effective way to work toward all animals having a forever home is to stop adult animals in the wild from giving birth to more youngsters. This is why the City released a spay and neuter program that provides this service for free for City residents. Read more about the program here and download the application here.

Brian is 26 years oldr than his daughter Kim. The sum of their ages is twice the differences of their ages. Find theri ages.
1. Lets set
Brian's age= x
Kim's age =y
2."Brian is 26 years oldr than his daughter Kim."
So, if Brian was 26 years younger, thier age would be equal:
y=x-26 ( is our first equation)
3. "The sum of their ages is twice the differences of their ages."
Which means: x+y = 2(x-y)
(sum of ages) (Twice diff age)
Solving, we change the "y" in the bottom of step 3 into x-26 and get:
x+y= 2( x-y)
x+(x-26)= 2(x-(x-26))
2x-26= 2(x-x+26)
2x-26= 2(26)
2x= 52+26
Since y= x-26,
y= 39 -26
y= 13
So Kim's age is 13 and Brian's age is 39
Hope this helps :D

Developing and testing a novel respiratory fitness game for children with cystic fibrosis
This study explored whether a breath biofeedback video game — one where a player controls the game action by breathing into a controller — can improve cystic fibrosis patients' self-administration of inhaled medicines, engagement in respiratory exercises and awareness of their respiratory status. The game uses a breath controller and game software developed by a research team from the University of Vermont College of Medicine, in collaboration with patients in the target user group. In addition to potentially helping cystic fibrosis patients self-manage their condition and maintain better health, the game may also be useful for children and adults with asthma and other forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
This project was funded as part of Health Games Research, a national program of the Pioneer Portfolio dedicated to funding and supporting research to advance the effectiveness of interactive games for health.

The region is known world wide for its extensive offshore coral reefs; however, this subtropical region also sustains many other inter-dependent habitats including fringing mangroves, seagrass meadows, hard-bottom regions, patch reefs, and bank reefs. The Florida Keys are a partial barrier between the warm-temperate waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the tropical to subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean to their south. A corresponding distinction in marine flora and fauna between the two regimes is a result. This complex marine ecosystem is the foundation for the commercial fishing and tourism-based economies that are vital to south Florida.

Seth Meyers to Replace Fallon on 'Late Night'
Seth Meyers will be taking up Jimmy Fallon's post at Late Night as Fallon moves on to The Tonight Show, NBC announced today. The current Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" anchor will be following a path cleared by Fallon, who made the same jump from SNL's news desk four years ago.
The Associated Press reports that Meyers, who has been the head writer at SNL for eight seasons and the "Weekend Update" host for seven years, had been considered the main candidate for the Late Night job since the news first came out that Fallon was leaving. "We think Seth is one of the brightest, most insightful comedy writers and performers of his generation," NBC entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt told the AP.
Rumors had been circulating for some time before NBC finally announced in early April that Fallon would be leaving behind his 12:35 a.m. time slot to take over Jay Leno's position on Tonight. The Tonight Show will be relocating back to New York, and SNL creator Lorne Michaels will be coming on as producer.
Meyers will leave Saturday Night Live holding the record for serving the longest term as "Weekend Update" anchor in the show's history. "I only have to work for Lorne for five more years before I pay him back for the time I totaled his car," Meyers joked as his new move was announced. "12:30 on NBC has long been incredible real estate. I hope I can do it justice."

On this visit, only Obama's second to Africa since he became president (Xi visited Africa during his first foreign tour as head of state, in March this year), he will be visiting a continent which feels increasingly less beholden to American dictates.

Going Greener: New Life for Used Hotel Soap
By Terry Trucco
Full disclosure: I love hotel soaps and have been known to wrap up a gently used bar of Malin + Goetz or Miller Harris and take it home. But I don't always and I've wondered – what happens to the hundreds of thousands of lightly used soaps and shampoos hotels collect each week?
Landfills are the final resting place for most. But green-minded hotels looking for alternatives to the trash bin are turning to recycling organizations like Clean the World, based in Orlando, and Global Soap Project, based in Atlanta. The recyclers collect used soaps from hotels, sanitize them and distribute them to people in need in US homeless shelters and overseas.
Hotel soap recycling is in the news. On Earth Day last week Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide announced an agreement with Clean the World that could bring as many as 500 hotels into the soap-redistribution fold. Starwood's brands, which touch a lot of bases, include The Luxury Collection, St. Regis, Westin, W, Meridien, Sheraton, Four Points, Element and Aloft. (more…)

The order guide has leaked for the 2014 Ford Explorer showing the some of the changes we can expect for next year's line up. The most notable changes are new exterior paint options (Sunset, Dark Side), Auto Headlamps standard on all models, and 2nd Row heated seats.
Grab the entire guide here: http://www.fordexplorer.org/img/2014...orer-guide.pdf
I have a 2014 sunset. The paint is by far my favorite over all the previous years!
I did not like the 2 new colors added and wished they would have kept the Green Gem Metallic &excited to purchase that
color in 2014 when Ineeded to buy a new car only to find out that it wasnot offered. I tried for months to locate a new 2013 model in all of California XLT with 202 package, Class III tow and Leather. NO GO. It is a very nice color on the Explorer and feel
very frustrated at Ford. I asked many many dealerships why are they so hard to find and they said they maybe a slow mover.
If it was such aslow mOVER why cantieasily find one? I had to settle for Kodiac Brown -nice but everyone says it looks black which I do not like! FORD IF YOUR READING THIS PLEASE RESPOND TO WHEN WILL I GET THAT CHANCE AGAIN ?
The 2015-16 will not be redesigned just a face lift like new headlight with led's and smaller and thing like that not a complete redesign.

Jermann Pinot Grigio (375ML half-bottle) 2010
Pinot Gris/Grigio from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
A wine that keeps giving. Jermann Pinot Grigio has great minerality, great acidity and intense flavors - it just goes on and on. It's the ultimate example of pure Pinot Grigio; fuller, rounder and richer – often emulated but never duplicated! Made with 100% Pinot Grigio.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Deep yellow with gold highlights. Fresh nose offers clean, crisp aromas of apple and pear, plus a whiff of white flowers. Enters clean and fresh, but develops surprising creaminess and depth, with almost luscious flavors of white peach, pear and minerals. This above-average pinot grigio shows sneaky complexity and good length and is the best such wine by Jermann in years. "
Jermann Winery
Silvio Jermann does not look like a revolutionary. More like a shy young college professor. Nothing about him is aggressive or flamboyant, not even his fair good looks. Yet here is the man who changed Italian wine history and created a new era in white vinification.
Heir to a traditional Friulian winery - founded by his Austrian great-grandfather Antonio in 1881 -Silvio graduated from two renowned wine academies, Conegliano and Istituto di San Michele. As early as his senior year, he determined to explore new courses in wine-making, and soon moved to Canada. Silvio's voluntary exile broadened his scope and allowed him a freedom of research which would have been unthinkable at home, where his parents, Angelo and Bruna, favored more conservative views.
Today, Silvio has not only converted his parents; he has won over the wine-making world.
His extraordinary, multi-layered, extract-loaded whites are as many landmarks of contemporary viniculture. Their inspired individual style speaks of a will of steel, and an almost mystical view of wine; of Collio's incredible terroir and Silvio's daring flair; of tiny vineyards he personally monitors, and unique blends of indigenous and international varieties.
At once revolutionary and instant classics, immaculate and complex, these wines express the essence of each varietal character to its purest and fullest degree. View all Jermann Wines
About Friuli-Venezia GiuliaView a map of Friuli-Venezia Giulia wineries (free-oo-lee veh-netz-ee-ah gwee-yee-ah)
Notable FactsSuccessful grapes of the Friuli include Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc. Then of course, there's the famed local variety, Tocai Friulano (not any relation to Tokay d'Alsace or Tokay of Hungary), which produces wine that is floral and nutty in character but light-bodied. Ribolla Gialla, another white grape making wine with the floral notes and acidity common to the region - it is a delicious alternative to the international varieties of the area. Reds are not to be forgotten, although found less often. Merlot is the most planted, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and few indigenous varieties. Most exports are white.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Here's what we saw in our most recent glance around the t-shirt-osphere:
When we were first introduced to augmented reality, we had a hard time figuring out how much use a holographic Will.I.Am or faux 3D pie chart would be in our everyday lives. But put it on a t-shirt? SOLD. Researchers at Cambridge University developed a new interactive app called Popcode and one of the coolest ways to use it is on t-shirts. Fast Company has a round up of some of the interesting projects that have already come out: a robot shirt with working "gears" and an interactive puzzle shirt.
The clever fellows behind the FauvelKhan design firm have come up with another way to play with your shirt. Well, on your shirt, really. They received the "bootstrap" award at this year's SXSW for their interactive AiR Guitar t-shirt. The shirt lets you use your webcam to visit their site and rock out (virtually). It's like Rock Band, but without all the annoying buttons! (via BBC News)
Think fake rock is lame, but tiny toy guitars are boss? ThinkGeek has you covered. Famous for turning their genius April Fool's Day jokes into actual products, they've got a shirt guaranteed* to turn you into a miniature Springsteen or Van Halen. Their Electronic Rock guitar T-Shirt comes with fully playable guitar built in and an itty-bitty amp. Never ones to miss a joke, yes, it goes to 11. (Snarky Blogger's Note: If Barbara ever made it over to the main site, she would have known that Scott took video of this shirt in action about a year ago at Toy Fair. Just sayin', Barbara.) If your friends get jealous, they can join in with the Drum Kit Shirt or the Synthesizer Shirt. Hey, at least you'll have each other.
So what do you think? Would you ever wear an interactive t-shirt?

I remember that, Scott! Those shirts are awesome, aren't they? I mean in a supremely dorky way, but awesome.

By Richard Clarke
Theo Walcott knows Arsenal "got away" with a 1-0 reverse at Old Trafford last Wednesday.
Manchester United dominated the Champions League Semi-Final first leg and the visitors had to thank keeper Manuel Almunia for keeping down the margin of defeat. Arsène Wenger's side can put matters right on Tuesday in the return rubber at Emirates Stadium. And Walcott is well aware they have been handed a second chance.
"Everyone was down because we didn't get the result," he said. "We wanted an away goal and we didn't get one but Almunia was unbelievable. I think that we got away with it because of the number of chances that they had."
Before the game, much was made of the match-up between Walcott and Manchester United's left back Patrice Evra. It did not materialise. The England winger had subdued match and was substituted later on.
"It was quite difficult to get into the game," he admitted. "I think a lot of the attacking players could say that. We didn't create any chances, other than a few bits and pieces. Hopefully we can create some chances on Tuesday.
"We would have taken a 1-0 defeat beforehand and especially given the number of chances they had. We can win the second leg 1-0 and take it to extra-time."
Should it stay that way of course, the tie would be decided on penalties.
"Yeah," said Walcott. "Obviously Manchester United have plenty of experience in shoot-outs but we have as well after Rome. Hopefully it won't come to that and we can win in 90 minutes but if it goes all the way, we'll believe we can do it."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Conscientious Objection to Paying for War
A subcommittee of the NYYM Peace Concerns Committee was formed in the late 1990s out of the work of Witness Coordinating Committee in developing an amicus brief in support of the war tax witness of Rosa Packard, member of Purchase Meeting. In addition to support of individuals, the subcommittee circulated a survey to monthly meetings and issued a gentle guide to war tax witness. In April 2006 the Yearly Meeting adopted a minute acknowledging that paying for war violates our conviction in the Power of the Living Spirit to give life, joy, peace, and prosperity through love, integrity, and compassionate justice among people. The Yearly Meeting also approved the preparation of an amicus brief in support of the case of Jenkins v. IRS, submitted to the court in 2007.
In July, 2007, NYYM Friends approved full committee status to COPW(Conscientious Objection to Paying for War). The subcommittee and later the committee has sponsored a number of conferences and is available to help organize and facilitate workshops for meetings and other groups and we seek to continue to be a vehicle for helping individuals find clarity and act on issues of conscientious objection.
Purposes & Objectives
The purpose of the committee includes being vocal about the failure of violence and the blessing of nonviolence, as well as exploring with Friends in our Yearly Meeting the multiple avenues of being true to our consciences in not paying for war.
Functions & Activities
increase the body of written and video resources on conscientious objection to paying for war
promote preparation of statements of conscience by Friends and people of conscience everywhere
bring together Friends from meetings and regional meetings within NYYM and Friends from outside our yearly meeting who are working on issues of conscientious objection to paying for war
advocate for governmental accommodation to conscientious objection to paying for war through support of legal challenges to military taxation and legislative efforts to change taxation laws
be a visible and helpful presence in meetings and the Yearly Meeting as we strive for integrity in our lives
All of our committee meetings are open to all. Friends who are led to serve on this committee, please contact us.

Did your ancestor suffer from King's evil, St. Vitus dance, painter's colic orGod forbidbloody flux? If so, you may be conjuring up images of Great-great Grandpa suddenly coming down with a royal case of devilishness or bawling as he put a new coat of paint on the barn.
Many old terms for diseases and ailments have been replaced by modern medical names. King's evil, for example, is swollen neck glands (caused by tuberculosis). St. Vitus dance, sometimes called chorea or viper's dance, was the term for nervous twitches. Painter's colic, also known as Devonshire colic and dry bellyache, is lead poisoning. And bloody flux was another name for dysentery. To help you make sense of the ailments and diseases you find mentioned in your family medical records, here are some common antiquated terms and what they mean by today's standards (keeping in mind that the diagnosis may not have been accurate):

Sounds Like a Movie Theater
For a tidy way to bring big-screen audio to your living room, look to the soundbar
THE KEY TO GETTING cinema-quality sound from your television is pretty straightforward: Add more speakers. But who wants towering black boxes in their living room?
Upgrading your television's audio with a single soundbar is a stealth solution. Because most movies and many television shows are encoded with a "center" audio channel dedicated exclusively to dialogue, using a soundbar can make speech clearer and create a more engaging listening experience. That's because soundbars cram multiple speakers—the ones...

"These cards were perfect for my son's baby dedication service. The scalloped edges are well worth a little extra ! This will be an invitation I cherish for years!"
"I was limited in time when designing my daughters communion invitations so guess what? My 8 year daughter decided to help out and design the card herself. From the design to the picture, she was able to navigate the tools in no time and the result was a perfect invitation!"
"My son picked out this design and it turned out beautifully. I used the "Ask a designer" option and had the reverse side printed in the same light blue used on the cross. We put his favorite "Guardian Angel" prayer on the back and printed the return address on the envelopes. Elegant and fitting for a very special liturgy for a very special boy!"
"I just got these in the mail and they were even prettier in person. I got the pearl shimmer paper and I have had nothing but compliments from everyone that got the invite in the mail. The only thing that I was upset about was how much more it cost to mail them because I picked the bigger size but they did warn me there might be a more postage needed. This wasn't something they had control over. Beautiful Card Definitely a MUST HAVE!!!"
"I was so amazed at how quick the turn around time was. The quality, picture and information on the card was beautifully made."

Welcome to the Blu-ray (BD) Association press conference. Given the formats decisive victory in the HD format war expect this to be a pretty upbeat conference…
Frank Simonis, Chairman of the Promotions Committee for the Association, kicks us off and we're getting a five stage presentation.
1. Blu-ray status update. We're into the backslapping and outlining the role of the BD Association (presentation, ratification of standards – yadda yadda). Still, with the war over 190 companies are now fully signed up BD Association members (noticeably Toshiba aside – come on Tosh, bite the bullet).
25/50GB discs and 6x recording remains the standards for now, so we're getting nothing new in that regard. As for the market, BD player and recorder production, PC drives and media have already doubled the full production of units in 2007 during the first half of 2008. The US still leads the market by far in Blu-ray movie sales (15 million) with Europe (5m) and Japan (2.5m) bringing up the rear. Expect this to explode now consumers have a clear format choice and hardware prices begin their inevitable free fall.
2. Simon McDowell of Sony Picture Home Entertainment gives us the home retail picture and – as we mentioned from the Sony Conference earlier: 10 per cent of movie sales this Christmas are expected to be on the Blu-ray format. It also seems like you guys are getting the message as 78 per cent of the public is now aware of Blu-ray compared to just 28 per cent in 2007. As for Sony Pictures itself it'll hit almost 200 Blu-ray titles by the end of the year.
BD Live – we're talking Starship Trooper 3 again and this time I've got the snaps to illustrate what I was talking about earlier. It's certainly basic right now, but in all fairness this is just step one and it hints at far greater things in the future.
3. Monica Juniel, Warner Home Video VP of International Marketing, takes us to the midway point. Honesty time and issues Blu-ray faces a number of issues notably the PS3 still represents the majority of BD players and those owners buy less than half the titles per year compared to those who purchase a dedicated player (approx two titles verses over five). Meanwhile, though recognition of the band is high (the aforementioned 78 per cent), thorough understanding remains low at just 13 per cent.
Title bundles will be the first initiative to change this while research shows there is the need for a controller with PS3 consoles as this significantly increases BD sales. So could a remote soon come as standard? Perhaps. In addition, expect a lot more in store demos since the seeing-is-believing is still core to the Blu-ray message
