This year's footballing fest, against an All-Star team from top French club Association Sportive de Saint-Etienne (ASSE), is set for 8pm local time (7pm GMT) on Monday 20 April at St-Etienne's Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium in France. Ticket prices range from 8 to 12 Euros and are on sale now, here.
The proceeds will go towards helping the countries that have been hit hardest by the Ebola epidemic build back better.
"We are delighted to play a part in helping people, communities and countries get back on their feet after the damage that Ebola has caused," said Ronaldo, one of football's best known Brazilian strikers.
"Ebola isn't over until the last case is treated, and we must stand by these countries for their long term," said France's celebrated attacking midfielder, Zinédine Zidane.
The Ebola epidemic is hurting millions of the poorest and most vulnerable people's efforts to make a living, in countries that only recently emerged from conflict or political instability.
The socio-economic impact of Ebola will last long after the disease has been brought under control, especially in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
UNDP is leading the UN's actions on Ebola recovery and is coordinating early recovery actions in the three countries.
Roland Romeyer, Chairman of AS St Etienne, hailed the people of Saint Etienne's commitment to ending poverty and their love of the beautiful game: "Saint-Etienne's population is characterized by its solidarity and solid passion for football," he said.
"The Match against Poverty has all the assets to attract spectators to an event that binds football and solidarity."
AS Saint Etienne is the most successful national club in French football history, having won ten Ligue one titles, six Coupe de France titles and a Coupe de la Ligue title.
The Match will be televised globally and is supported by football's governing body, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). It is organised in partnership with the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).
Tickets are on sale now at: http://www.asse.fr and ticket counters of the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, 14, rue Paul et Pierre Guichard, 42000 Saint-Etienne.
Proceeds from the annual, star-fuelled friendly have gone to boosting earthquake reconstruction in Haiti and Pakistan, bolstering Typhoon recovery efforts in the Philippines, getting post-famine relief to the Horn of Africa and backing anti-poverty projects in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America.
Proceeds from the 11th Match in Bern, Switzerland raised US$190,000 for recovery efforts in the Philippines, where more than 5,000 people lost their lives to Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013.

This occurs because of weak property rights and insecure tenure arrangements. This video tells the story of a farmer in Sub-Saharan Africa who loses the right to farm on his land, and emphasizes the importance of government decisions that balance the individual rights of citizens with national public interest.

What's New
Vivian Font Family by Wiescher Design
Vivian is a heavily decorated serif typeface based on my Bodoni Classic font. I have this flaw in my personality that just enjoys designing decorative typefaces.
I made three cuts.
First: the straightforward Vivian with nicely decorated capitals and abundant lowercase letters.
Second: the Plus with sparingly decorated capitals and fitting lowercase letters. Third: the Xtreme cut with heavily decorated capitals and lowercase letters without any frills.
All three can and should be mixed with each other. That's why I sell them as a reasonably priced set of three only.
Sometimes I just get carried away, yours very playful Gert Wiescher

ODH Posts Concussion Education Tools Online
(2012) The Ohio Department of Health has created a Concussions in Youth Sports website with online training programs, information sheets, and other educational resources as a result of legislation passed by the Ohio General Assembly in December.
The web site contains valuable resources for players, parents, coaches, referees, and physicians. In addition to materials specifically required by the new law, the site also contains a list of frequently asked questions, fact sheets for coaches and parents, and CDC diagnosis and management educational articles for physicians.
"The OOA was a strong proponent of HB 143 which will be critical to preventing traumatic brain injury in our young athletes," said OOA President John F. Ramey, DO. "Each year more than 3,000 students are treated in the state's emergency departments for head injuries sustained on the playing field."
Since many DOs serve as team physicians, Ramey urged all OOA members to become familiar with the law, help educate players, parents and coaches, and to update their skills for the emergency management of concussions and head injuries. He said the Ohio Osteopathic Symposium program in May will include a lecture, entitled, "Friday Night Lights: Managing Concussion On and Off the Field," by Jason Dapore, DO, Columbus, who is the physician member of the Ohio Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Athletic Trainers Board.
According to Simon Fraser, a second year medical student at the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, having the proper people in place to manage concussions on the sidelines is critical. Fraser, who testified as a proponent of the bill on behalf of the OOA was a three-time scholar athlete and star on the 2002 National Championship Ohio State Buckeye football team. He also played professional football for the Cleveland Browns and the Atlanta Falcons before becoming an osteopathic medical student.
Jason Dapore, DO, Sen. Peggy Lehner (R-Kettering) and Simon Fraser, OMS II, following Senate Health Committee testimony
"Many athletes live by the creed 'If I can walk, I can play,' and choose to tough out concussions to play." said Fraser during his testimony before the Senate Health Committee, November 28. "Specifically I can remember playing in Cleveland and getting my "bell rung" on a kickoff return play. I came to the sideline, gathered myself and returned to the field a couple of plays later thinking nothing of the hit to the head I had just endured because I felt fine and was determined to get back out there.
"Now that I am in medical school I am learning and understanding more about how the anatomy and physiology of concussions interplay with one another. More than ever I believe that education and having the proper people in place to manage concussions is paramount," he continued.
HB 143 (Youth Injuries), effective April 26, was sponsored by State Reps. Michael Stinziano (D-Columbus) and Sean O'Brian (D- Hubbard) with broad-based bi-partisan support. Among other things, the bill:
- Prohibits a school authority from allowing a student to practice for or compete in interscholastic athletics until the student has submitted a signed form stating that the student and the student's parent or other guardian have received a concussion and head injury information sheet created by the Department of Health.
- Requires a youth sports organization to furnish the ODH information sheet to the parent or other guardian of young athletes who wish to practice for or compete in an athletic activity.
- Requires coaches, referees, and officials of interscholastic athletics and youth sports organizations to remove a player who exhibits signs, symptoms, or behaviors consistent with having sustained a concussion or head injury from practice or competition.
- Prohibits coaches, referees and officials from allowing a student or individual to return to the practice or competition from which the student or individual was removed, or to participate in any other practice or competition for which the coach, referee, or official is responsible, until the student or individual has been assessed and cleared for return by a physician or by any other licensed health care provider authorized by the school authority or youth sports organization.
- Requires the State Board of Education to (1) require each individual applying for a pupil-activity program permit to coach interscholastic athletics to successfully complete training on brain trauma and brain injury management and (2) require each individual renewing a pupil-activity program permit to coach interscholastic athletics to successfully complete a specified training program.

Black-Handed Spider Monkey
CLASS: Mammalia
ORDER: Primates
FAMILY: Cebidae
TAXONOMIC NAME: Ateles geoffroyi
RANGE: Southern Mexico, from Veracruz throughout most of Central America to western Panama. Other species of spider monkey are in South America.
HABITAT: Tropical and subtropical rain forests.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Head to body length ranges from 15 – 25 inches and the tail adds another 20 – 35 inches. The average weight is 13 – 17 pounds. Most have coarse, stringy hair, but some have a soft, fine coat. They can be either a light or a dark color phase, with the light phase ranging in color from yellowish gray to reddish brown, and the dark phase ranging from dark brown to almost black. The belly is usually a lighter whitish or yellowish color. Most have a dark face with white eye rings, but some have flesh-colored faces. They have exceptionally long legs and tails in relation to the length of the body. Their prehensile tail is extremely flexible and has bare skin on the tip of the underside. The thumbs are poorly developed or lacking. The head is small with a prominent muzzle. The clitoris of the female is greatly elongated, so that it is often mistaken for the penis of the male.
LONGEVITY: Approximately 18 years in the wild and between 25 – 30 years in captivity.
SOCIAL STRUCTURE: Social with troop size varying considerably. Groups contain an average of 8 – 10 individuals and a maximum of 40 individuals.
ACTIVE TIME: Diurnal
DIET: Wild: Primarily fruits and nuts supplemented with insects, shoots, blossoms, baby birds or eggs.
Zoo: Canned primate diet, leaf eater biscuits, fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens.
BEHAVIOR: They spend the majority of the morning hours foraging for food and the remainder of the day is primarily spent resting and mutually grooming each other. Their social structure consists of large, mutually exclusive communities which break into smaller groups to feed. Their territory is well defined with rest stops, food areas and lodging trees within its boundaries. They are very agile and move swiftly through the trees, using semi-brachiation (hand over hand movements). Their tail is used as a fifth arm or leg and they can hang suspended by only their tail. When bothered, they will often break off portions of tree branches and drop them attempting to hit the source of their annoyance. They will also emit dog-like barks when alarmed. The most frequently heard call resembles the whinnying of a horse and is a contact call made when the monkeys are separated.
REPRODUCTION: There is no set breeding season. Gestation lasts approximately 140 – 225 days. Only one baby is born at a time and the inter-birth interval is two to four years. The young are weaned around 6 – 10 months. Sexual maturity is reached at about 4 years of age for females and 5 years for males.
- Their prehensile tail is the most highly developed of any primate.
- Their genus name, "Ateles," means "imperfect" and refers to the absence of thumbs.
- They can leap 20 feet though the air to land safely in another tree.
CONSERVATION STATUS: Black-Handed Spider Monkeys are endangered, largely due to habitat loss.
RELATIONSHIP WITH PEOPLE: Their habitat continues to be destroyed for logging and agricultural purposes. They are also hunted for as food and to be sold as pets. They need large areas of mature, unbroken rainforest to survive.

Season 42 : Episode 117
The Price Is Right has long been a staple of daytime and nighttime television. It has seen five incarnations: the 1956-1965 daytime version hosted by Bill Cullen on NBC and ABC, the 1972-1980 nighttime version hosted by Dennis James and Bob Barker, the 1985 nighttime version hosted by Tom Kennedy, the 1994-1995 nighttime version hosted by Doug Davidson, and the current daytime version hosted by Barker and Drew Carey. This guide covers the current daytime version. The object of The Price Is Right is to correctly guess the retail prices of items, without going over, to either win the items themselves or other prizes. At the beginning of each show, the announcer calls out the names of four contestants, imploring each to "come on down!" A prize is announced for which each contestant (one at a time) makes a bid (called the One Bid). After the host announces the actual retail price, the contestant who bid closest without going over is invited on stage to play a pricing game for a larger prize. If a contestant's bid is exactly correct, he/she wins a $500 bonus (on the Armed Forces and $1,000,000 Spectacular Specials, the bonus for an exact bid is $1000). Frequently, during Barker's tenure as host, an animal would be brought out on stage by one of the models during the One Bid prize plugs. Barker would then comment that the pet was available for adoption at an area animal shelter. He also encouraged viewers to visit their local humane society. Pricing game prizes often include cars, trips, rooms of furniture, cash, and various other items. Furs were also given away during the early years, but this practice was dropped per Barker's wishes due to his involvement with animal-rights issues. The episodes that offer furs as prizes will likely never be seen again as Barker continues to fight against their re-airing. There were over 100 total individual pricing games with 72 in the current rotation. Some games involved pricing grocery or small, everyday items. Others involved chance, deduction, skill and/or patience. Many games quickly became very popular. Contestants chomp at the bit to play such entries as Plinko, Ten Chances, Cliff Hangers, Any Number, Grocery Game, Range Game, Race Game, and many others. While each of the pricing games uses only one player, there was one game (known by fans as Bullseye 2) which used two players. This game, which was retired during the first season, had the players alternating bids on a car or boat, and the first to guess the price exactly won. The second contestant was determined by immediately playing another One Bid. Some pricing games have been retired. The reasons include frequent mechanical malfunctions, complicated rules, low odds of winning, and negative responses from viewers. Pictures, audio files, and videos of most of the retired pricing games can be seen on various fan pages on the World Wide Web. After each pricing game is played (except for the final game of the day), one more contestant is called from the audience to "come on down," and another One Bid item is shown for another chance to play a pricing game. Until the fourth season, the two contestants with the highest winnings after all three pricing games had been played went to the Showcase round. Two showcases (prize packages worth several thousand dollars) are shown, one at a time. After the first showcase is revealed, the top winning contestant has the choice to bid on the showcase or pass it to his/her opponent and force him/her to bid. The contestant coming closest to the actual retail price of his/her own showcase without going over wins their showcase. Originally, the contestant could win only his/her showcase. Early in the show's run, a stipulation was added stating that if a contestant's bid came within $100 of his/her showcase's actual retail price, they'd win everything in both showcases. In 1998, the stipulation was modified, and, now, winning contestants who are $250 or less away from the actual retail price of their showcase win both showcases. For the week of November 3-7, 1975 the show expanded from 30 to 60 minutes, following a successful week of experimental hour-long shows the week of September 8-12. A new round called the Showcase Showdown was added. After three contestants have played their pricing games, each has the chance to spin a large wheel called "The Big Wheel." The order of spinning is determined by each contestant's winnings with the player having won the least going first and the player having won the most going last. The Big Wheel contains 20 spaces with numbers in increments of five cents (not in order). Each contestant gets up to two spins in an attempt to get as close to $1.00 without going over. If he/she does not have $1.00 after the first spin, the contestant can choose to spin again to get closer to $1.00 or stop at their current score with the hope that the other contestants will either score lower or go over $1.00. Getting $1.00 exactly earns the contestant a $1000 bonus. Going over $1.00 automatically disqualifies the contestant from going any further. A one-spin spin-off is held if there is a tie between two or all three contestants. If the first two contestants go over $1.00, the third player automatically advances to the Showcase but is still entitled to one spin. After the first Showcase Showdown of each show, three more pricing games are played, followed by the second Showcase Showdown. When the Showcase Showdown was first introduced, during the experimental hour-long week, the wheel spun sideways, and there was no $1000 bonus. When the hour-long show became permanent on November 3, 1975, the $1000 bonus was added, and the current wheel debuted. Beginning in June, 1978, contestants scoring $1.00 were now allowed to spin again in an attempt to win an additional $5000 for hitting one of the green sections above or below the $1.00 space (five and 15 cents) or $10,000 for hitting the $1.00 space. During the prime time specials that first aired in 2002, contestants that hit $1.00 during the bonus spin win $100,000. During the $1,000,000 Spectacular specials airing in 2003, this bonus was increased to one million dollars. The winners of each Showcase Showdown (two per show) advance to the Showcase round. Numerous other changes have taken place through the years, and several prime time specials have aired. The Price Is Right's 5000th episode aired in March, 1998 at which time the studio at CBS's Television City where the show is shot was renamed the Bob Barker Studio. Also, the set and some of the pricing game boards went through numerous minor changes due to inflation or to give it a modern look. The bloopers that have occurred on The Price is Right are among the most celebrated in television history. In early 1976, a woman called to Contestant's Row was in the ladies' room. Her husband had to leave the studio to tell her she'd been called. At the beginning of an episode early in the sixth season, a woman's tube top slipped down as she was running toward Contestant's Row. Also during that season, a woman fainted when she learned she won her showcase ($11,000 in prizes). Other bloopers include cars with malfunctioning brakes and other prizes which give way at the wrong time. Usually, one of the models is often a victim of these unfortunate mishaps (such as Janice Pennington and Rachel Reynolds hitting the wall with the car they are revealing for the Lucky $even pricing game). Many pricing games have malfunctioned at one time or another. Many contestants spinning the Big Wheel spin it so hard that they fall to the floor. There have been a fair share of contestants who claim to or actually don't understand how to play a given game. The most notable is the Check Game (where the contestant writes in an amount that when added to the actual retail price of a prize must total between $5000 and $6000. In addition, one game was victimized by a cheater on the April 4, 2005 playing of Flip Flop (where a contestant is presented a string of two sets of two numbers, representing an incorrect price, and must correct one or both sets to win a prize). The contestant, after receiving input from the audience, pressed the reveal button without making any changes. Barker awarded the contestant the prize anyway, although many fans believe the player should have been disqualified. Some contestants eventually became celebrities - Vanna White in particular. She was called to "come on down" in June, 1980, but did not get out of Contestant's Row. Other future stars include Rick Schroeder and Linda Cardellini.

Friendly Phillies calendar says no game for this date. That is correct, except this evening is the annual Phillies Phestival at Citizens Bank Park.
The fun-filled autograph and auction party for all ages is held to try and strike out ALS, the devastating neuromuscular condition for which there is no known cause or cure.
This year's goal is to raise over $800,000 which would put the grand total raised to over $10 million. Proceeds go toward research at ALS association Centers in Pennsylvania Hospital and the Hershey Medical Center, along with much-needed patient care services.
All the players, their wives, broadcasters, ball girls and entire Phillies staff will participate. Hopefully some day, we can strike out ALS.
Following the event, the Phillies board an AMRAK train for a trip to Washington, DC, and three night games with the Nationals starting tomorrow. Then, a weekend in St. Louis.
Weekend Totals

Wrote yesterday about Doc Miller, whose pinch-hit record of 20 has been tied by Greg Dobbs. Miller had that number in 1913. The year before, he had 7, which tied the club record set in 1907 by Wilfred Pearl (Ossie) Osborn, also known as Fred.
A left-handed hitting outfielder, Osborn played three years in the majors, 1907-09, all with the Phillies. The seven pinch-hits were among his 45 for the season.
Now, you can sleep better tonight knowing this piece of Phillies history. If you still can't sleep, see your doctor!

Wall St. shrugs off W.H., looks to Hill
When it comes to worrying over a possible debt default, Wall Street is brushing off President Barack Obama's warnings and focusing its attention instead on Congress.
Investors say they currently view the words and deeds of Congress as having more power to move markets because the president is not viewed as being intimately involved in the ongoing fiscal negotiations — more of a spectator in chief as the House and Senate fight over how to break their impasse.
"The financial markets seem to believe at this point it's really in the hands of the House and the Senate," said Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist with Deutsche Bank. "In other words, I think the market's focused more on what might be happening between [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid and [Speaker] John Boehner than the president."
This dynamic was on display in recent days as Wall Street tried to parse Washington's jawboning.
Last week, Obama cautioned that Wall Street should be seriously worried that Congress may fail to raise the debt ceiling, saying in an interview with CNBC that markets "should be concerned" and that "this time it's different."
( Also on POLITICO: Dem cracks open in debt limit fight)
But while those comments received plenty of attention in the political world — including criticism from Republicans who accused the president of resorting to scare tactics — Wall Street largely tuned out the president's warnings. The markets initially trended down the first half of Thursday, the day after the interview, before gradually picking up steam through Friday.
"The president is only one piece of the negotiations and Congress ultimately holds the purse strings," said Diane Swonk, chief economist of Mesirow Financial. "Speaker Boehner … he can control the vote and that matters. The president can't control the vote."
On Monday, financial markets showed a darker mood with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing down 136 points, while the Nasdaq saw a drop of 37 points and the S&P 500 fell 14 points.
Analysts said Monday's weak performance was a reflection of Wall Street's growing concern that Congress will be unable to reach an agreement to raise the debt limit following comments Boehner made over the weekend.
( Also on POLITICO: House unlikely to pass debt ceiling bill this week)
Appearing on ABC's "This Week," Boehner insisted that the House would not pass a "clean" debt-limit increase and signaled that he did not see the fiscal battles coming to an end any time soon.
Boehner's comments served as a reality check for Wall Street as the government inches closer to running out of money to pay all of its bills — a deadline that will arrive on Oct. 17, according to the Treasury Department.
"Some people were betting on Friday that there would be a deal — you heard some conciliatory talk and there seemed to be some Republicans that are gravitating toward opening up the government again," said Robbert van Batenburg, director of market strategy at the brokerage firm Newedge. "But on Monday, there's no deal. … Boehner held the line during the weekend in the interview so you're again flying into this air pocket."
Heading into the second week of the government shutdown, Congress has made no real progress in reaching an agreement to end the deadlock and the fate of the debt ceiling has become intertwined with the fight over funding the government.
A default is expected to have far worse economic consequences than a government shutdown — a point that Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and other top administration officials have highlighted in recent weeks.
Investors say they still believe a deal will be made to raise the debt limit before it's too late and have expressed confidence that the Treasury Department will find a way to keep paying bondholders for a while by "prioritizing" those payments — avoiding a technical default — even if the deadline is missed by a few days.
The administration has urged Wall Street not to get comfortable with that idea.
"You'll have days, not weeks, until you deplete that money and you default," Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Jason Furman said of the Oct. 17 deadline at POLITICO's Playbook Breakfast on Monday. "It's irresponsible to get to the 17th — but no, you don't fall off a cliff instantly."
Analysts predict that markets may not start hitting the panic button until next week, when Congress is days away from Oct. 17 and still without a deal.
"People are kind of sitting on their hands a little bit until they find out what's happening," said Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets. "Next week will be the volatile week, I would guess."

Does anyone with entire male dogs give them cider vinegar?
I have been advised to try this, as it greatly reduces the smell of their urine icon_msnthinking Sorry not a pleasant topic!
I tried putting about 1 tsp in Teddy's food, but it wasn't really working, so I put it in the water bowl instead, and this seems to have worked. He does not have a very good aim, and tends to soak his feathering! so gets rather smelly icon_yuk
It's a bit difficult, as I administer their homoeopathy in the water bowl, and the vinegar will negate the homoeopathy. I've been putting the vinegar in the overnight bowl.
Is thsi the correct dosage rate for the vinegar?

There are only two big statewide contests this November -- governor's contests in Virginia and New Jersey. The former seems pretty decided: Republican Bob McDonnell has carved out a pretty solid lead against Democrat Creigh Deeds.
Not surprisingly, the Garden State provides the real excitement this year, with enough nutty storylines and subplots to fill an episode of "The Sopranos." But, this being, New Jersey, it's not enough that the race could be dominated by arguments over property taxes, a floundering economy, the always endemic corruption -- even who might be the biggest Springsteen fan. Nope, remarkably, the race could come down to how the public reacts to one candidate calling the other fat.
Hey, this is Jersey, folks.
U.S. & World
For most of the year, incumbent Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine -- bedeviled by a weak economy and having overseen a series of tax hikes -- has significantly trailed Republican former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie. In the last few weeks, however, Corzine has pulled into a dead heat.
But independent candidate Chris Daggett has recently become a force in the race. His provocative plan for property tax reform earned him a big feature article in The New York Times and, more importantly, the surprising endorsement of the state's biggest paper, the Newark Star-Ledger
Perhaps, not coincidentally, Daggett is getting fairly positive headlines because he's waging a policy-based campaign -- just as Corzine and Christie seem locked in a more personal dogfight. And it doesn't get much more personal than, well, one guy calling the other fat. It started three weeks ago with a hard-hitting ad that went after Christie for a series of preferential treatment in traffic and other incidents . The ad accused the hefty Christie (shown getting out of his car) of "throwing his weight around." Corzine's spokesman at the time declared that the ad wasn't meant to bring attention to Christie's physical appearance.
Corzine, however, crossed that line on Tuesday. Asked if he thought Christie was fat, Corzine rubbed his hairless scalp and responded, "Am I bald?"
In the real world, the exchange might be rather amusing. In the political world,Corzine is stepping into very precarious waters. The initial ad may have been fair game. But making a personal attack against an opponent strikes many voters as dirty pool. A fat joke may well backfire against Corzine (who's not exactly Kate Moss himself).
There's a precedent for this sort of late-in-the-game personal jabs blowing up in the face of the aggressor. In 1998, incumbent three-term Sen. Alfonse D'Amato of New York was locked in a tight struggle with Rep. Charles Schumer, Two weeks before election day, D'Amato was permanently knocked off course after word got out that, in a talk before a Jewish group, he referred to Schumer as a "putzhead." D'Amato's initial denial fed into an ongoing Schumer line of attack -- that the incumbent had a history of embarrassing gaffes and ethical miscues that he then lied about.
Christie may have the chance to do the same to Corzine: He's already made Corzine's negative ads part of his own reform message. The governor, meanwhile, may learn that the narrow odds he faced in gaining re-election -- may have suddenly become a fat chance.

McKinsey has published a fantastic report on 'Six ways to make Web2.0 work'.
Some of the points discussed in the report are very valid and a great learning resource for all organizations which are struggling to drive their 'Web 2.0' initiatives. It is a must-read for the so called decision makers and tier – 1 executives in SMEs. As Steve Clayton correctly points out the report doesn't mention 'Twitter' until the end where McKinsey's twitter id is shared for extension of conversation. But that seems to be the only aspect which has not been addressed.
Moving on, here is a small attempt to present my understanding of some of the points captured in the post. The focus is to compare the difference between traditional IT tools and Web 2.0 technologies:

Happy Yugadi to All – 31st March 2015
May this Jaya Naama Samvatsara Yugadi bring the Wave of freshness in everyone's life
Ugadi is the New Year (Lunar New Year) for Telugu and Kannada speaking people and it ushers in the spring season. In 2014, the date of Ugadi is March 31. Jaya Nama Samvatsara begins on March 31, 2014. Ugadi (yuga and adi) means beginning of an astronomical cycle. It is also the first day of Chaitra, the first month of the traditional Hindu calendar followed in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Ugadi is also known as Chadramana Ugadi or Chandramana Varsha Thodaku or Vatsara Arambha.
For the Telugu and Kannada speaking people, Ugadi day begins with an extensive oil bath. Rangolis or Kolams are drawn in front of homes and doors and windows are decorated with a 'thorana' – mango leaves strung together. Then, it is time for the preparation of the famous 'Ugadi Pachadi' in Andhra Pradesh. In Karnataka, it is the 'Bevu Bella.'
A major event on the day is "Panchanga Sravanam" – predictions for the year. It is organized at temples and by cultural and social organizations.
Ugadi Pachadi which is distributed on the day is a unique dish with a mixture of six tastes ranging from sweet to bitter. It comprises of jaggery, raw mango, tamarind, neem flowers, salt and green chilli. This is the first dish that people have on Ugadi day.
Ugadi Pachadi has an important symbolic meaning that life brings different experiences ranging from sweet to bitter. Therefore each individual should learn to take the different experiences in one's stride and move ahead.
Instead of the Ugadi Pachadi, in some places people serve jaggery mixed with neem leaves. The bitter taste of neem leaves and the sweet of jaggery symbolize joy and sorrow in life. This is more popular with Kannadigas.
Maharashtrians celebrate Gudhi Padwa on the day.

#3 descending (going down in reps)
8 thru 1 all on left side, 1.5 min. on
1 min. rest
8 thru 1 all on Right side, 1.5 min. on (video shows this set)
1 min. rest
5 min total 70 snatches
Total workout 50 min. 728 total snatches!
After the Max Vo2 snatches, I wanted to do some long snatch sets. So I started with set #1, switching sides from 10 reps down to 1. It was a long set, and I didn't feel the need to repeat it! Next I wanted each set to be done all on one side at a time and considered doing the last 4 sets descending, because they're easier, and after the previous 35 minutes of snatching I was tempted to wuss out!
But, I knew I was feeling tough enough, so I started the next 2 sets ascending until I felt I just couldn't add another snatch on, and that ended at 8 reps, that's how that number was chosen, I just couldn't increase the reps any more!
This workout freakin rocked. That along with my new "Disturbed" CD.

From coffee grounds to pizza crusts, Comox residents will now have the opportunity to dispose of their household organics curbside.
Council approved a motion Wednesday for organic waste pickup to begin in June, without a proposed $180,000 fee for organic-specific bins.
The cost of the bins previously caused concern for some council members, but organics will be able to co-mingle with yard waste, said Don Jacquest, director of finance for the Town.
The Town would provide residents with labels showing the organic materials that can be added to their yard waste bins on garbage day and will recommend they not be added earlier to avoid attracting pests to the yard waste bins.
Residents are required to have lids for any bins used for co-mingled waste.
In his report to council, Jacquest said in the pilot project — which will last about a year — the Comox Valley Regional District prefers the co-mingled source material, as composting organics alone can be more difficult.
The total estimated cost per household for the pickup of yard waste and organics is estimated to be $26 per year ($14 per household for collection and $14 for additional tipping fees).
Jacquest said the CVRD proposed a reduced charge of $45 per tonne for the co-mingled waste instead of their regular $65 per tonne for yard waste.

In a moral victory for everyone that's ever seen something and immediately wondered what it'd be like to ride a motorcycle over that something, South African Trials star Brian Capper just got a chance to ride his bike over the 384-foot-tall arch supporting Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium.
Trials bikes share very little with regular motorcycles other than their two-wheels-and-an-engine configuration. To start with there's no seat; purpose-built competition machines, they're made to be ridden standing up. Other differences are extreme light weight — think mountain bike — and very, very low gearing.
The sport of trials itself is sort of an arcane take on two-wheeled gymnastics. Competitors tackle a challenging obstacle course either in the woods or in a stadium in which they must navigate a series of climbs, jumps and balance beams under a certain time, with points come off every time they touch a foot down to balance. Riders like Capper are attempting to draw more attention to the sport by taking it out of motorcycling's footnotes and into extreme stunts like this one. You couldn't pull of a similar ride on your Harley while wearing assless leather chaps.

|Machining Capabilities
|Your choices are...
|Suppliers have equipment for drilling holes into parts.
|Milling machines are versatile devices that can perform many different machining operations. Parts are moved into a rotating cutter which remains fixed in space.
|Turning is performed on a lathe. Lathes are used to perform several operations, almost all of which involve the rotation of the piece part. The piece part is made to rotate while a cutting tool, held in a holder, is moved into the rotating piece part. Some of the operations that can be performed on a lathe include: facing, turning, boring, cutting a taper, and thread cutting.
|Screw Machining
|Screw machining is a turning process used for the rapid and accurate production of duplicate parts from a variety of materials.
|Swiss Machining
|Swiss screw machining is used when high-finish, close-tolerance bearing surfaces are requires on small shafts. It provides a higher-quality product than a ground finish.
|Abrasive Flow Machining
|Abrasive flow machining (AFM) passes a mixture of abrasive grain in a high-viscosity carrier media through the internal diameter (ID) or internal openings of the part. AFM processes are used to deburr, polish and generate controlled-radius geometry in components. Orbital AFM processes are used for external finishing and geometry control. Micro-AFM processes are used to radius, deburr and improve the surface finish of orifices in nozzles, fuel injectors, spray tips or other parts with very small or micro-sized holes.
|Water / Abrasive Jet Machining
|In abrasive machining, a jet of water and abrasive is directed at the material to be machined. The jet drags the abrasive through the material in a curved path. The resulting centrifugal forces on the particles press them against the workpiece. The cutting action is a grinding process where the forces and motions are provided by water, rather than a solid grinding wheel. The result is a very small width of cut, allowing for precise machining.
|Jig Boring
|Jig boring is a precision machining process that includes centering, drilling, reaming, counter boring, contouring, through- boring and step boring. Jig boring machines are similar to jig grinders, but use boring tools instead of high-speed grinding wheels.
|Generally, broaching is classified as a planning or shaping process. Broaching equipment uses a cutting tool to remove material and shape a hole or outside surface of a part. Broaching tools are available in a variety of designs and shapes. These tools have equally spaced teeth, with each successive tooth designed to feed deeper into the workpiece. Broaching can be used to enlarge, shape, or smooth a bored or drilled hole, and to remove material between two adjacent drilled holes. For example, a round hole can be broached to a square or other shape.
|Deep Hole Drilling
|Several different processes, including trepanning, gun drilling, ejector drilling and other methods, can achieve deep-hole drilling. In the trepanning process, a circular, toothed cutting tool is rotated and fed axially into a workpiece to cut a narrow grooved surface in it. Gun drilling is a quick and efficient method of producing deep or shallow close tolerance holes with smooth surface finishes - usually in one pass. The boring process uses a lathe, boring machine, or boring mill to make or enlarge a cylindrical hole.
|Gun Drilling
|Gun drilling is a process of using fluted drills that allow cutting fluid to be injected through the drill body to the work surface. This process is utilized for the drilling of deep holes.
|Centerless Grinding
|Centerless grinding is a machining operation in which an abrasive wheel grinds metal from a bar surface while a regulating wheel forces the bar against the grinding wheel. The term "centerless" indicates that the bar is not placed between any centering devices, but is supported by a blade (situated between the grinding wheel and regulating wheel) and a series of input and output rollers.
|Creep Feed Grinding
|Creep feed grinding is a type of plunge grinding that uses specialized grinding equipment. The grinding wheel is fed into the work at very slow infeed rates. The total amount of stock removed is achieved in only one or two passes as opposed to multiple passes.
|Double-disc Grinding
|Disc grinding is used to produce flat, parallel parts in high-volume production. Machines with two independent grinding wheels are called double-disc grinders. With double-disc grinding, the work passes between the faces of the two grinding wheels. Single-disc grinders exist, but are less common than double-disc devices. In a single-disc machine, the grinding wheel is usually mounted to a vertical spindle.
|ID / Internal Grinding
|Internal grinding or ID grinding uses a small, high-speed grinding wheel and is used to grind the inner diameter (ID) or holes or surfaces.
|OD / External Grinding
|External grinding or outer diameter (OD) grinding is used to grind the external or outside part surfaces of cylindrical parts.
|Jig Grinding
|Jig grinding uses very precise machines for locating and generating very accurate holes, contours, and surfaces to tolerances of .0001" or less. Jig grinders are similar to jig borers, but use high-speed spindles and grinding wheels instead of boring tools.
|Surface Grinding
|Surface grinders are used to produce flat and parallel surfaces. The work is mounted to a table and fed back and forth under the grinding wheel. Typically, the grinding wheel is mounted to a horizontal spindle and the work is ground with the outside diameter (OD) of the wheel.
|Honing uses abrasive stones or silicon-carbide slips that move in both rotational and axial directions to obtain a specified finish or dimensional tolerance.
|Laser Machining
|Laser machining is a material removal process accomplished by laser / material interaction. These processes include laser drilling, laser cutting and grooving, marking, and scribing.
|Electrode EDM
|Electrode EDM is a type of electric discharge machine (EDM) that uses a shaped die sinker or electrode to cut parts.
|Wire EDM
|Wire EDM is a type of electric discharge machine (EDM) that uses a wire to cut parts.
|Etching / Chemical Milling
|Etching is the treatment of a prepared metal surface with acid or other chemical reagent, which, by differential attack, reveals the structure, creating a recessed image. Chemical milling involves the removal of select material by etching, chemical milling etchant, chemical machining, or conversion of the material by some electrochemical reaction.
|Electrochemical / Photochemical Machining
|Electrochemical machining and photochemical machining is used to etch or create unstressed, high-precision parts.

|Your choices are...
|Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light, trivalent metallic element with good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation.
|Brass provides good strength, excellent high-temperature ductility and reasonable cold ductility, good conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, good bearing properties and low magnetic permeability.
|Bronze is an alloy of copper, tin, phosphorous, antimony or other materials. It usually consists of 0.5 - 10% tin and is harder, stronger, and more corrosion-resistant than brass.
|Carbides include silicon carbide, tungsten carbide, and titanium carbide as well as other compounds of a metal (Ti, W, Cr, and Zr) or metalloid (B, Si) and carbon. Carbides have excellent wear resistance and high hot-hardness.
|Cast Iron
|The term "cast iron" refers not to a single material, but to a family of materials whose major constituent is iron, with important trace amounts of carbon and silicon. Cast irons are natural composite materials whose properties are determined by their microstructures - the stable and metastable phases formed during solidification or subsequent heat treatment. The major microstructural constituents of cast irons are: the chemical and morphological forms taken by carbon, and the continuous metal matrix in which the carbon and/or carbide are dispersed.
|Ceramics are any of various hard, brittle, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials made by shaping and then firing a nonmetallic mineral, such as clay, at a high temperature. Industrial ceramic materials consist of oxides, carbides, nitrides, carbon and other non-metals with high melting points. Ceramic material types include alumina / aluminum oxide (Al2O3), boron nitride (BN), cubic boron nitride (CBN), silicon nitride, zirconia, and many others.
|Composites are solid materials that are comprised of two or more substances with distinct properties. When merged, each substance retains its own characteristics while imparting beneficial properties to the entire composition. An example of a composite is a plastic material in which a fibrous framework is embedded for greater structural stability.
|Copper is a common reddish metallic element that is ductile and malleable and one of the best conductors of heat and electricity. Copper alloys are specified for services where superior corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and good bearing surface qualities are desired. Casting readily produces irregular and often complex external-internal contours. All copper-base alloys are easily plated, brazed, soldered and machined.
|Diamond / PCD
|Synthetic diamond is produced synthetically in a high temperature, high pressure process anvil press. Diamond is a superabrasive grain with the highest known hardness and a cubic crystal structure. Diamond is used for grinding nonferrous metals, ceramics, glass, stone, and building materials. Diamond is not useful in grinding steel or ferrous alloys because carbon or diamond readily dissolves or reacts with iron. Diamond pastes are useful in ferrous polishing or lapping applications where heat and reactivity are not a factor. Diamond is susceptible to oxidation at higher temperatures. Industrial diamond grades such as polycrystalline diamond (PCD) are used for very long life, and sometimes for special applications such as very high-speed cutting.
|Glass is a hard, brittle material consisting of a mixture of silicates. It is usually transparent or translucent. Glass is considered to be a cooled liquid rather than a true solid.
|Glass Ceramics
|Glass ceramics are ceramics that can be fused and then molded, formed, ground or machined using conventional glass fabrication techniques. After part fabrication, the glass ceramic's structure is transformed from an amorphous glassy state to a crystalline ceramic state. MACOR® is widely applied glass ceramic with a fluorine rich glass composition approaching trisilicic fluorphlogopite mica (KMg3AlSi3O10F2). MACOR® is a trademarked proprietary material of Corning Corporation. Ceran®, Ceramat®, Robax® and Zerodur® are widely applied proprietary glass ceramics from Schott Glass Corporation.
|Hardened Metals
|Metals such as tool steel are hardened prior to machining.
|Magnesium is a fairly strong, silvery-white, light-weight metal.
|Nickel / Nickel Alloys
|Nickel and nickel alloys include products such as Monel®, Kovar®, Invar®, Inconel®, Incoloy®, and Hastelloy®. Monel, Inconel and Incoloy are registered trademarks of Special Metals Corporation. Kovar and Invar are registered trademarks of Carpenter Technology. Hastelloy is a registered trademark of Haynes International.
|Plastics are any of various organic compounds produced by polymerization. They are capable of being molded, extruded, cast into various shapes and films, or drawn into filaments and used as textile fibers.
|Precious Metals
|Precious metals are valuable, relatively scarce, highly corrosion-resistant, and found in periods 5 and 6 of the periodic table. They include ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, osmium, iridium, platinum, and gold.
|Rubber is any of numerous synthetic elastic materials of varying chemical composition with properties similar to those of natural rubber.
|Stainless Steel
|Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high pressure ratings.
|Steel / Steel Alloys
|Steel and steel alloys are metals for which iron is the primary constituent. This category includes carbon and cold-rolled steels, stainless steel, etc.
|Titanium is a hard, lustrous, silvery element that is relatively abundant in the Earth's crust. It is known for its lightness, strength, and corrosion resistance. For this reason it is used widely in the aerospace industry and the medical fields (e.g., replacement joints). When alloyed with other metals, especially steel, titanium adds strength and oxidation resistance.
|Stone / Marble / Granite
|Stone or rock is concreted earthy or mineral matter. Marble is a metamorphic rock formed by alteration of limestone or dolomite, often irregularly colored by impurities, and used especially in architecture and sculpture. Granite is a common, coarse-grained, light-colored, hard igneous rock consisting chiefly of quartz, orthoclase or microcline, and mica. It is used in monuments and for building.
|Ultra-hard Materials
|Ultra-hard materials are harder than steel. This category includes ceramics (CBN, Si3N4, ZrO2, Al2O3, etc.), carbides, diamond, quartz, ruby, sapphire, and others.
|Quartz is a form of silica, or silicon dioxide, occurring in hexagonal crystals, which are commonly colorless and transparent, but sometimes also yellow, brown, purple, green, and of other colors.
|Wood comes from trees and can be cut and dried, especially for use as a building material or fuel.

Remember the story of Marcus the sheep and the parents determined to prevent his slaughter bcause their little darlings had their pwecious feewings hurt over the cuddly 'pet'?
Well, they won. They hounded a brilliant teacher out of her job:
A headteacher who outraged parents and traumatised children after allowing a lamb that had been hand-reared by pupils to be slaughtered has been 'bullied' from her job.Despite the fact that she had the full backing of the board of governors and the local schools authority, she found it intolerable, and who can blame her?
Andrea Charman was vilified around the world and even received threats of violence following the decision to butcher six-month-old Marcus and sell off his meat in a raffle.
She has officially resigned for 'personal reasons' but admitted to friends she was unable to continue after being 'bullied and victimised'.
I wonder if Sunny Hundal is still so keen on the power of the Twitter and Facebook mob ..?
THe children and their educational prospects are the losers here. As always...

Tom Hanks and His Oscars Put Jonah Hill in His Place on 'Saturday Night Live' (VIDEO)
Something very important happened between the time when Jonah Hill first hosted 'Saturday Night Live' in 2008 and when he did for the second time last night — the 28-year-old was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in 'Moneyball.' Although he ultimately lost to Christopher Plummer, apparently the nomination had gone to Hill's head just a little bit.
'SNL' spoofed this with a video of Hill interacting with his "old friends" at the show, like Andy Samberg, who Hill greeted by demanding he fetch him soda.
As the segment winded down, Hill admitted the error of his ways. As he was doing so, a surprise guest walked on the 'SNL' stage. It was Tom Hanks, who told Hill that he too became an insufferable jerk because of Oscar success.
Hanks disclosed that after his second Academy Award win in 1995 he made his wife sleep on the couch so there would be enough room in the bed for "the twins."
However, Hanks said he got over all that obnoxiousness "a few days ago." Maybe that's why he and his long-time bride Rita Wilson looked so happy together at a recent Los Angeles Kings hockey game.

Minnesota Vikings superstar running back and sporno hotness Adrian Peterson continues discussing all things gay ...
The 2012 NFL MVP made national headlines last week after announcing that he was "not with" gay marriage. And on Monday, the former University of Oklahoma phenom told The Oklahoman that he wouldn't mind having a gay teammate ... but the shower situation could make him "uncomfortable"
Peterson said an openly homosexual teammate "really wouldn't bother me that much" ... [but] did admit, though, that some aspects of it might make him uncomfortable.
"Simple things, as far as showers and things like that, you know, of course, anyone would be uncomfortable," Peterson said Monday. "But you know, I'm a grown man. There's things that I can deal with. I'm comfortable in my skin. I'll still high-five them. Pat them on the butt when he's doing good, and go on about my business."
Baby steps, bro ...
Peterson caused some controversy when he made this statement last week:
"To each his own [but] I'm not with it. I have relatives that are gay. I'm not biased towards them. I still treat them the same. I love them. But again, I'm not with that. That's not something I believe in. But to each his own."
Meanwhile: Super Bowl champion and NFL legend Joe Namath appeared on HuffPost Live over the weekend and said homophobic players should "get over it."
"I have friends that are gay. I've worked in theater, I've been in art. We work shoulder to shoulder. There's a lot of love from me to them, too. That's life. And if you've got a hangup about it, I hope you can get over it because it's real."
Adrian Peterson's original remarks on marriage were asked in the context on Minnesota's new equal marriage law. On May 13, Minesota joined Delaware and Rhode Island to become the third state to approve marriage equality within two weeks. Minnesota and Rhode Island's laws become effective August 1. Twelve states and the District of Columbia will now allow same-sex marriage.
