The lone holdout on the town's Zoning Board of Appeals, Chairman Philippe W. Chevalier, has resigned, allowing the Board of Selectmen to appoint new members to a group it called "dysfunctional."
Mr. Chevalier's resignation, submitted Tuesday, completes a request last month by selectmen that all members resign. Selectmen appoint the zoning appeals board's members, and wanted to resolve issues with the board's operations and internal disputes by starting fresh.
Kevin M. McCormick, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, said at a meeting last month he had "serious concerns about how (the zoning board) functions as a board."
Selectman John O'Brien said: "We have to blow it up and start over."
The selectmen canceled a planned Nov. 14 hearing "for the purpose of hearing charges against a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals and to determine whether cause exists to remove the individual from the office."
The selectmen intend to interview potential appointees, including former zoning board members who may wish to be reappointed.
Zoning board members Linda Isgro, Barbara Deschenes and Charles Witkis had previously submitted their resignations as of Nov. 9 as requested. Member Stephen Hart had resigned earlier.
"I am very disappointed with the Board of Selectmen, and your decision to disband the current Zoning Board of Appeals to cure a problem that clearly does not involve most members of the board," Mr. Chevalier said in his resignation letter.
He had earlier refused to resign, intending to fight for his position on the board "and for the return of the integrity and the good reputation that the zoning board once had. I no longer feel that this fight would be productive, or in the best interest of the town."
His resignation is effective today, similar to those of other members of the board. The date reflects selectmen's goal of keeping a functioning ZBA in place for town business, including a previously scheduled hearing, until a new board is appointed.

A recent study out of Northwestern University suggests that presenting certain smells during sleep could help reduce fear memories.
Although the study showed the smell trigger attached to the fearful memory could help calm fears, scientists say it's too early to tell whether this could be used as a long-term treatment.
We talked to Dr. Jay Gottfried, the study's senior author and associate professor of neurology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, to find out what the study means. Here is an edited version of our interview.
Q: What did the study involve?
A: We did sort of a Pavlovian response where we took a picture of a face and paired it with (a mild) electric shock so the face came to predict fear (for our patients). We did this with an odor in the background.
Afterward, we had the subjects take a nap, and every time they entered slow-wave sleep we presented that odor in the absence of that shock. By presenting that odor in sleep, we were able to reduce the emotional response evoked by the face. This is all done with the appropriate control.
We also did fear conditioning with a different face and a different smell but didn't present (that smell) in sleep. (Our subjects) still showed the same fear response (to the picture of the face where the smell wasn't presented during sleep).
Q: What was it about introducing the smell during sleep that made your test group less fearful to the picture when they woke up and saw it again?
A: What we think is happening is that when the smell is re-presented in sleep, it reactivates a memory of the fearful face, but of course in the absence of any shock. Therefore, after repeated presentations of the smell (in sleep), subjects form a new safe memory, such that the face no longer triggers a fear response. In the scientific literature, this is known as "fear extinction."
After subjects wake up, presentation of the face is now less fearful to the subjects (compared with a control condition involving a different face). We think areas of the brain including the hippocampus (for memory processing) and the amygdala (for emotion processing) are involved in mediating these changes.
Q: Why are the results of this study important?
A: It shows that we can actually modulate emotional memories in sleep.
Q: Practically speaking, how could this work?
A: That's the million-dollar question. Probably the next step is to find patients who have post-traumatic stress disorder. There is a pretty good subset of those patients who actually have smell triggers that will set off the anxiety and stress response. Gunpowder smells can set off a lot of those stress responses (for soldiers). Rape victims talk about how there's a certain smell or cologne may set off their anxiety.
There are many different kinds of circumstances where smell seems to play a role in trigger — if we could identify a given patients smell trigger we could try presenting that smell during sleep and see if we can achieve a kind of reduction in their reactive stress.
One aspect of our study we were looking at was the expression of fear within a couple of hours after sleep. If it works for a day and wears off, it's not much of a remedy. It would be interesting to see if through more exposure periods or some type of manipulation if this affects out into months.
Q: Can phobias affect sleep?
A: In general, people who are depressed or anxious have poorer sleep, so if the phobia is a very specific phobia, like arachnophobia (a fear of spiders), I don't know if that itself is going to cause much of a disruption of sleep. But with more generalized anxiety or phobic syndromes, there certainly could be sleep disruption.
Q: What types of treatments for phobias could arise out of this study?
A: I don't know if this would work as a treatment for anything (such as arachnophobia or other general phobias that aren't triggered by a smell). It worked in 15 young healthy adults. It could be cool looking into (treatments), but that would be more speculative.
Q: What type of phobias could be treated in a similar manner?
A: With our experiment, we basically taught and introduced new fear memories in the context of this odor. In the case of arachnophobia, for whatever reason these patients learn to be scared of spiders. In some distant memory they became scared of spiders, presumably in the absence of any smell. Simply presenting a smell in sleep if it has no bearing on the phobia may not have any impact.
What we could do is pair the spider with a certain smell in the daytime and then present the smell in sleep, but that's several steps beyond what we're studying.

Tokyo tops list of cities most at risk of disasters
- Tokyo/Yokohama region is the most at-risk city in the world
- For the first time in human history%2C more people live in cities than in rural areas
- Los Angeles is on the list because of its vulnerability to earthquakes
Though Godzilla isn't listed as a threat, Tokyo has the dubious distinction of being the world's most vulnerable city when it comes to natural disasters, according to a report released Wednesday by reinsurance firm Swiss Re.
"When we look at river flood, storm surge, tsunami, wind storm and earthquake combined, the Tokyo/Yokohama region is the most at-risk city in the world," says Megan Linkin, natural hazards expert with Swiss Re. "There is a potential affected population of 57.1 million people who could be impacted by one or more of these natural disasters."
The report ranked more than 600 global metropolitan centers that are inhabited by 1.7 billion of the world's population, which produce a combined GDP of $35 trillion, half the world's total economic output.
"For the first time in human history, more people live in cities than in rural areas," the report states. "The United Nations expects 6.3 billion people — or 68% of the world's population — to be living in urban areas by 2050."
The study shows that floods endanger more city residents than any other natural peril, followed by earthquakes and storms.
The only U.S. city to make the "top 10" list of most-vulnerable world cities is Los Angeles, primarily because of its risk of earthquakes. L.A. ranked ninth on the list, behind eight cities and metro areas in Asia.
"Swiss Re's research shows that Los Angeles is the most at-risk city in the world outside of Asia," says Linkin. "The Los Angeles metro area is highly exposed to earthquakes," she adds. "There has not been a major earthquake to strike an urban U.S. center since 1906, and this study is a timely reminder of just how exposed the population of California is to earthquakes.
"In 1994, the Northridge earthquake was centered 20 miles outside of Los Angeles yet the insurance industry still ended up paying out $21 billion in claims," says Linkin. If you consider that Northridge is not nearly as densely populated as downtown Los Angeles, you begin to get a sense of how catastrophic an event in Los Angeles would be.
"We hope that the research in this report is used by decisionmakers in urban areas across the world to gain a better understanding of their exposure to natural catastrophes and take the necessary steps to better protect their citizens from the impacts of these events," says Linkin.
World's most vulnerable cities, with population:
Tokyo-Yokohama, Japan (57.1 million)
Manila, Philippines (34.6 million)
Pearl-River Delta, China (34.5 million)
Osaka-Kobe, Japan (32.1 million)
Jakarta, Indonesia (27.7 million)
Nagoya, Japan (22.9 million)
Kolkata, India (17.9 million)
Shanghai, China (16.7 million)
Los Angeles (16.4 million)
Tehran, Iran (15.6 million)

Reds Meadow Road to Open Wednesday, June 29th
Release Date: Jun 24, 2011 Bishop, CA
Contact(s): Nancy Upham
A record snowfall and resulting damage has delayed the opening of the Reds Meadow Road to Wednesday, June 29th. The target date of June 24th was not met due to the time required to remove hazards and debris, and to make repairs along the roadway as a result of winter avalanches and harsh conditions. The road, with access to the Devils Postpile National Monument, will open at 8:00 am on June 29th with shuttle bus services beginning immediately.
Mandatory shuttle service will commence on Wednesday, June 29th, and operate through Wednesday, September 7, 2011. Shuttles will depart from the base of the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area Main Lodge "Adventure Center" every 15-20 minutes during peak times (10:00am - 4:00pm) and 45 minutes during off-peak times (7:30am - 9:45am; 4:45pm – 7:00pm). The first shuttle will depart the Adventure Center daily at 7:30 a.m. Shuttles depart from The Village at Mammoth Lakes daily at 7:15, 8:00, 8:45, 9:15, and then every 30 minutes or less from 9:30 to 4:00.
Motorists traveling as exception vehicles are urged to use caution, drive slowly, and watch for wildlife!
The snowpack in the valley is variable and is preventing the opening of several campgrounds and trails. Facilities that will be open on June 29th include Reds Meadow Resort, Devils Postpile National Monument (including trails to the Postpile and Rainbow Falls), and Reds Meadow Campground. Devils Postpile Campground will open on July 1st, but may have snow patches. Additional facilities, campgrounds and trails should open before the July 4th holiday weekend, depending on weather conditions.
Backcountry travelers must take extra precautions and understand the many hazards that exist with the late spring conditions. Stream crossings are deep, swift, and dangerous. Many trails are covered with deep snow and large drifts. Passes are covered in snow and ice. Most lakes above 9000 feet are covered with snow and ice and unsafe for travel. Snow-free hiking opportunities are limited above 8500 feet.

Melissa McCarthy has spoken out about the controversy surrounding her Elle magazine cover, revealing she picked out the oversized coat that prompted critics to blast editors at the publication for trying to conceal the star's weight.
The star is featured on the November issue sporting a Marina Rinaldi coat and reveals the wardrobe choice was all her idea.
She tells Eonline.com, "I was so sick of summer. I live in Southern California. I was like, 'Give me a big coat to wear. Give the girl some cashmere!
"I picked the coat. They were like, 'The dress is really great,' but I was like, 'Yeah, but look at this'. I was just shocked I didn't steal it. Now I think I really should have the coat. I'm petitioning for that coat. Give me that coat. I earned it, damn it!"
A publicist for the magazine defended the cover in a statement shortly after the controversy erupted, stating, "On all of our shoots, our stylists work with the stars to choose pieces they feel good in, and this is no different: Melissa loved this look, and is gorgeous on our cover."

Add a Floor Lamp for Light and Style
Using Floor Lamps can be a striking and effective way to decorate any room, adding warmth or drama where overhead lighting is too stark and space will not allow a desk lamp. Floor lamps can project light in almost any direction, depending on the need. A shaded floor lamp will direct the light downward onto a chair for reading. A torchiere floor lamp will do the opposite, sending the beam upward for effect. Some will do both, while other floor lamps come with a number of heads that can be moved and pointed in the direction where light is most needed at the time.
Some rooms just lend themselves to the use of Floor Lamps. They may have an alcove or an awkward corner hidden behind a chair. The variety of floor lamps we offer will make them a welcome addition to any room, whether they are turned on or just standing there, looking stylish.

Spinning the Roulette Wheel
One of the world's oldest and most beloved casino games provides entertainment for all. Written by May Alexander
The interesting thing about roulette is, it that there are two versions: One European, which is referred to simply as "European Roulette" or "French Roulette" and the second version, "American Roulette". The only difference between the two is that the European version only has one green wagering number on the wheel: The single zero.

Food For Thought: Antibiotic Resistance Generated in Food Production
The expression "food for thought" is often used proverbially more than literally, although results from FDA reports make it necessary to consider how our food and livestock are processed and put serious thought into the food we eat. To make the case immediately apparent, consider that four fifths of all antibiotic consumption in the USA is not human consumption; it's consumed by farm animals. To quantify this statement, in 2011, 7.7 million pounds of antibiotics were consumed by American people, while 29.9 million pounds went into meat and poultry production.
The proportion of antibiotics fed to livestock is not a recent issue, it has been growing and the problems that arise from it have accumulated for over 50 years. An alarming development of bacteria that had grown drug resistant due to antibiotics in the livestock industry is MRSA (short for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) which is a persistent threat to human health. Estimates indicate that MRSA kills 19,000 Americans each year, hospitalizes 370,000, and results in billions of dollars of additional health care spending. The intent of these statistics is not to frighten, but to raise awareness concerning administering millions of pounds of antibiotics annually to artificially boost animal growth. Maryn McKenna wrote a book chronicling the rise and danger of these superbugs (http://superbugthebook.com/).
What is important to note is that a vast majority of the provided antibiotics is not to target infections or better animal health. It is administered at a herd or flock wide basis through the animals water source or feed to promote growth and weight gain, as well as to preventatively help livestock survive harsh farm and living conditions. This is one reason why antibiotics are used, another is for therapy. Therapy is used when farm animals exhibit clinical diseases, and drugs can be an effective way to prevent catastrophic health risks that could be detrimental to the agricultural sector.
Administering antibiotics to animals is not an inherently bad thing to do, although it can become detrimental if done without caution and concern. The FDA's report on the application of antimicrobial drugs in industry warns that "the development of resistance to this important class of drugs, and the resulting loss of their effectiveness as antimicrobial therapies, poses a serious public health threat". In this article, the main point is not to suggest entirely eliminating antibiotic consumption in the livestock industry, but to manage it judiciously by targeting specific diseases. Another significant argument is that farmers and food corporations should "voluntarily" withdraw from using drugs which have a functional similarity to drugs used in humans, since this would reduce the concern for transmitting resistive bacteria on to humans through our food. Use of antibiotics for livestock growth promotion has been banned by many European countries, as they have determined that similar investment in more food resulted in the same growth yields without the additional antibiotic resistance generation.
It is evident that we can no longer take how our food is produced for granted. The expression food for thought is no longer some overused metaphor, it is a reality.

I couldn't make up my mind whether to write a column about indecisiveness. I finally decided to go ahead due to the topic's importance and after flipping a coin several times. It's a vital issue because being indecisive can be costly at work, at home, and during those times when you're neither at work or home.
I couldn't make up my mind whether to write a column about indecisiveness.
I finally decided to go ahead due to the topic's importance and after flipping a coin several times.
It's a vital issue because being indecisive can be costly at work, at home, and during those times when you're neither at work or home.
The important thing, well, I think it's the important thing, is that if we can learn to harness our indecisiveness and make it work for us, our lives will be immeasurably enriched. I think.
The first thing you must decide (well, it could be the second or third thing) is whether you're indecisive.
Take this little test.
Am I indecisive? Check one.
Hell yes.
Hell no.
I'm not sure.
If you checked "I'm not sure" then you may in fact be indecisive. I mean, it's hard to say with complete certainty since I don't know you.
If you checked, "Hell yes," you may be indecisive as well, but then again you seem so decisive about it.
And if you checked "Hell no," you might still be indecisive but in some sort of denial about it because you feel there's a stigma attached to being indecisive.
Is there, in fact, a stigma attached to being indecisive?
I'm not sure.
Should there be a stigma attached to being indecisive?
Who am I to say?
But what I can do is offer up another test to determine your indecisiveness level through the presentation of an everyday occurrence in which you are posed with making a decision.
You live in an ancient land and have been accused of a crime. It's a tough jurisdiction so you are thrown into an arena for possible execution before a packed crowd of summary-justice fans. There are only two doors leading out of the arena, both clearly marked Exit in keeping with the ancient land's fire codes. It is explained to you there is a fierce tiger that skipped lunch behind one of the doors. Behind the second door is a beautiful woman if you're a man or a handsome man if you're a woman whom you must bring to dinner and a show immediately following your disposition. If you pick the tiger you're considered guilty, pick the date and you're considered innocent. If you take too long to decide, the court officers let the tiger in because it's a real crowd-pleaser.
How do you decide which door? Check one.
Flip a coin.
Inquire about the possibility of filing an appeal.
Search the arena crowd for a sympathetic face to see if you can glean the correct choice through their expression.
And what is the correct answer?
I'm not sure.
But that's not the point. The point is how long did it take you to answer? Check one.
Less than five seconds.
More than five seconds.
Stop pressuring me. I'm thinking. I'm thinking.
Obviously, well, I think it's obvious, if you checked the third option you may have some issues with indecisiveness, though I'm not completely sure.

Here's the good news
Posted July 31, 2008on:
- In: Parenting
- 5 Comments
Well yesterday and today have sucked on many levels. The National Guard decided to fake some sort of hostage situation in the building yesterday and I had to maneuver through police, military personnel, and the Red Cross to get to work. Obviously I was late. Then I had to listen to their "concussion bombs" and whatnot all morning, all the while fielding phone calls about what was going on and registering new students.
Today I had my rudest parent. Compared to this time last year this lady was a pleasure to deal with, but it's really not the best time of the month to be copping an attitude with me, if you catch my drift. She was just a jackass and wound up asking for the number to the school board, which I was more than pleased to give her, but it generally pisses me off when people act all hoity toidy, like they're going over your head to get you in trouble. Go for it, call county, let them tell you the same damn thing I did, Miss Wait-Until-The-Very-Last-Minute-To-Enroll-Your-Children-In-School.
On a personal note, Jeremy's debit card information was stolen so someone in Portugal was really racking up until we went overdraft and the party was over. Now I have all those charges to dispute.
But okay, you didn't click the link to my blog to listen to me bitch and moan, did you? You probably wanted to hear the good news! If you are a parent, this is valuable information that you likely did not know until now. I didn't.
For years, I have thought I had to vaccinate my children in order to enroll them in public school. Both my kids are up-to-date and managed to receive their vaccines without any dire consequences, but I know people who were not so lucky. I know the government has finally acknowledged the link between vaccines and autism, but they say that even with the skyrocketing rate of autism the benefits of the vaccines are worth the risk.
I say tell that to the mother whose sweet angelic little boy will no longer hug her or look her in the eye. The mother who will never hear her daughter say, "I love you, Mommy." I'm sorry, but these things are priceless to me. My eyes are brimming with tears now at the mere thought of my precious little boy never wrapping his arms around my neck again.
Nate lacks one more shot before he starts kindergarten. And now, knowing what I know, he will never receive it, or any other vaccine. Not for the measles, not for polio, not for the freaking flu. What the government doesn't tell you is that the flu vaccine will increase your chance for developing alzheimers later in life – by a lot. That the polio vaccine, in its experimental phases in Kenya, likely started the HIV virus. That vaccinating your child will not only increase their chances of being autistic, but can also cause paralysis, hepatitis, post-vaccinal encephalitis, blindness, kidney disease, or even death.
So you can trust the vaccines and take your chances, but you do have a choice!
Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to vaccinate your child for public school. Today a parent presented me, not with a shot record, but with a different form entirely. The paper she handed me was an affidavit declaring her son expempt from vaccinations because they conflicted with her personal beliefs.
Apparently this is a FEDERAL law, and no state can refuse to accept this form in lieu of a shot record. Senate Bill #942, Section 1, Chapter 7 states, in part, "Immunizations of a person shall not be required for admission to a school or other institution… If the guardian, parent, or adult who has assumed responsibility for his or her custody and care in the case of a minor, or the person seeking admission, files with the governing authority [i.e., get it notorized], a letter or affidavit stating that such vaccination is contrary to his/her beliefs…"
So you want a copy of the affidavit for your personal use? CLICK HERE AND GO FOR IT!! And congratulations to your for making the decision to protect your child from the harmful side effects of vaccines.

So, you're probably familiar with the image of lush green valleys that appears on countless postcards of Ireland, but what about the weird stuff?
Ireland keeps a few tricks up its sleeve when it comes to natural phenomena. Take the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark in County Clare – a karst limestone plateau that looks like it was beamed down from the moon; in fact, it was formed around 340 million years ago at the bottom of a sea and is home to a wide range of flora, fauna and archaeology, as well as the odd disappearing lake or two.
Folklore legend Fionn mac Cumhaill is said to have created Antrim's Giant's Causeway so he could walk over to Scotland to pick a fight with the giant Benandonner. This visual jangle of tightly packed basalt columns runs from the cliffs of the Antrim plateau right down to the sea.
Speaking of sea cliffs, it's hard not to be impressed by the mighty Cliffs of Moher (which form part of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark), the Slieve League Cliffs in County Donegal, the vertigo-inducing Croaghaun Cliffs on Achill Island, and the seabird-studded cliffs of Antrim's Rathlin Island.
From those dizzy heights, you can head down below and uncover a wonderful world of hidden caves, rich with stalagmites and stalactites. Take a gentle boat ride through Fermanagh and Cavan's Marble Arch Caves UNESCO Global Geopark for a peek into 650 million years of history. These caves are another area awarded the UNESCO Global Geopark status, cementing its place in geological significance.
If you're fascinated by things that simply can't be explained, make sure to check out the magic road… nope, we don't know what's going on with it either!

Corrs Chambers Westgarth has appointed Ayman Guirguis as a partner and head of its competition and regulatory practice in Sydney.
He arrives from Blake Dawson [now Ashurst Australia] where he was a partner for 10 years.
Guirguis has extensive experience in merger clearance, cartel work, and competitor and supply chain issues in a broad range of industries including petroleum, IT, pharmaceuticals, and construction. He previously held the position of director of mergers branch at the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and has been a key adviser to leading international organisations such as ExxonMobil, Visy Industries and Hewlett Packard.
"Ayman is an internationally recognised leader in his field," said Corrs partner and CEO John Denton. "He brings to the firm an enormous depth of expertise in merger clearance and cartel work that will reinforce Corrs' offering to our clients and the market."
Peter Armitage, head of competition at Ashurst, says: "Over his time at Ashurst, Ayman has made valuable contributions to our competition practice in Melbourne and Sydney. Ayman goes with our best wishes."
Guirguis is listed in The International Who's Who of Competition Lawyers & Economists.

Welcome to Football Poets -- a club for all football poets, lovers of football and lovers of (alternative) poetry. Discover poets in every league from respected internationals at the top of their game to young hopefuls in the school playground.
Publish your football poems here and then discuss them with your team mates and fans. We're archived by The British Library, so your masterpieces are in the safe hands of a world-class keeper. What a result!
Hi Crispin,
I've only just seen your comment about a photo of the gates. I will dig one out.
I've still not been to The New Lawn but I do hope to get there one day.
Woohoo….sentiment shared Denys.
I thought the huge No 3 on Chelsea's new shirts strange enough.
Keep on mate.. C
thanks for introducing us to a poetic form that we haven't seen or utilized here!
It sets us an interesting challenge!
Hi Neil -hope you\'re happy with the way it\'s laid out.(Thanks Christian).I think from memory, this is the first ever hay(na)ku on Football Poets here on this,,, or the old site in 20 years!
Coincidentally, re C.O.A , Michael Horovitz is very much associated with Stroud and Slad in partricular (also the home of Laurie Lee.)
Stroud is where Football Poets as a website began in 2000 and where Michael\'s son Adam Horvitiz lives. Adam is a fine pastoral and performance poet and a good friend. If you do a search in the search button he does have 4 football poems on here being a Sunderland fan.
Stroud is also close to Forest Green Rovers, who I follow regularly these days, and is also where I am based. I grew up close to Stamford Bridge in London having followed Chelsea for 50 years
Re WBA …Great community club. I worked there several times in the 2000s running anti-recism football poetry workshops with young /local school students, as part of their Football In The Community programme
Best wishes
Hi Martyn
I tried to find a pic of the old Crittall gates at Braitntree to feature on the page with your poem, without sucess.Was interested to see them.
As a regular Forest Green fan (don't scream!) I'm really familiar with the Iron iron and meeting up with your fans when they came up here on the hill for games.
I also still remember well, the NL 2015 play offs and how close you came back in the Cowley (pre-Lincoln/Huddersfield) days v Grimsby, who we of course lost to at Wembley.
Keep on. Crispin
Great Lines Leonie…sentiment shared..but we will get through this..And think how anazing it will be be to get back to to our grounds, our friends and our teams…
best Crispin
Cheers CM.
Hope all is well with you and yours as we journey on.
S x
Cheers Crispin!
All good, hope the same with you and yours.
Goodness, 20 years, 🙂
Wow big time Sharon. Congratulations and how amazing Klopp quoting you in the headline. Although a possibly misconstrued comment towards a loyal female fan… if it was defintely towards you!?lol
Also you beat me, re you name on the back the L'pool shirt, because when that lovable rogue Mickey Thomas played for Chels (who I still also follow ) alongside my number one local team Forest Green +Dulwich Hamlet and Whitehawks, names weren't yet on ther back of shirts. They came in around 93/94 I think? .
Can't believe we've been running this site ev'ry day for 20 years! Remember Parry's Post ! Hope all's good with you through Covid. All the best Sharon
Liverpool worthy Champions for 2019 / 2020.
And worth it too, to get another very special poem from Sharon!

Rich Nations That Went Broke By Spending Too Much
Government spending drives taxes, deficits, debt and inflation, so it's at the core of our economic problems. What to do about runaway spending? The tendency is to imagine that it might be controlled by electing the right politicians, enacting a law like a balanced budget amendment, passing a spending limitation ballot initiative, establishing a super committee or coming up with some kind of "grand bargain."
These and other well-intended strategies have failed, primarily because they were attempts to have politicians act against their self-interest. Politicians generally want more power which means more money, more laws, regulations and bureaucrats. Historical experience suggests that rulers - whether kings, dictators or elected politicians — have a visceral urge to spend money they don't have. They can't control themselves. They'll weasel their way around any efforts to put a lid on the cookie jar. This is why rich nations like Japan, Saudi Arabia and the United States are spending money they don't have and incurring chronic budget deficits.
All of this has been has been going on for a very long time, a reminder that we're dealing with one of the most potent forces in politics. Runaway spending repeatedly has contributed to the downfall of the high and mighty.
For example, spending problems began to be evident in the early years of the Roman Empire, and they became huge in the third century C.E. Perhaps as early as the third century B.C.E., Rome began minting a gold coin that came to be known as the aureus. Originally the face value of the coin equaled the market value of gold in it.
Then gangster rulers spent money they didn't have on grain subsidies, public entertainments, a gigantic bureaucracy and military establishment. These rulers relentlessly raised taxes and debased money, crippling the economy. They tried to pay their bills by debasing the aureus. They issued gold coins that had the same face value but less and less gold. In 81 B.C.E. (when Sulla ruled), the aureus had 10.9 grams of gold, but this declined to 9.09 grams in 50 B.C.E. (Pompeius), 8.18 grams in 46 B.C.E. when Caesar ruled, then 7.80 grams in 15 B.C.E. (Augustus), 7.27 grams in 60 C.E. (Nero), 6.55 grams in 214 C.E. (Caracella), 5.45 grams in 292 C.E. (Diocletian), 4.54 grams in 312 C.E. (Constantine) and 3.29 grams in 367 C.E. (Valentinian).
There was inflation: prices increased as merchants demanded more coins for their goods (a higher total face value), to assure that their payment in gold would be the same as before. Rome's silver coin, the denarius, was similarly debased. Monetary chaos, with so many coins circulating that weren't what they appeared to be, contributed to economic chaos, a major factor in the fall of the Roman Empire.
Chinese rulers introduced paper money sometime after 960 C.E. Evidently they soon discovered they could acquire their favorite luxuries and pay their armies by printing more money, and they did it with gusto. In the late 13th century C.E., the Venetian merchant and chronicler Marco Polo - with little knowledge of China's past experience — marveled at the brilliance of the Mongol ruler who "may truly be said to possess the secret of the alchemists." He persuaded merchants to give him wonderful things, and all he offered in return were stamped pieces of paper made from the bark of mulberry trees. It was a nice racket. Unfortunately, people realized that paper money lost value as prices took off, at which point everyone tried to avoid it. To keep the paper money game going, some rulers decreed the death penalty for malcontents who wouldn't accept it.
A dynasty's paper money was wiped out when, as eventually happened, the dynasty was defeated by invaders or rebels. The new rulers issued their own paper money that, like its predecessors, was depreciated and wiped out. Altogether, seven Chinese dynasties issued paper money. Occasionally new paper money was exchanged for old at rates up to 1,000 to 1 (old-to-new). Chinese records show that the money supply soared more than 3,200-fold between 1260 and 1330 C.E. During this period, inflation was a factor in the collapse of the Song and Yuan dynasties. Next came the Ming dynasty that introduced its own paper money, but reportedly it lost 99 percent of its value by 1425. Then the Ch'ing dynasty tried paper money, but it lost all its value in 11 years. The Ch'ing dynasty tried paper money again, but it became worthless in only 8 years. Runaway inflation was a factor in the collapse of Chiang Kai Shek's struggle against Mao Zedong's communists in 1949.
England, where industrial prosperity first began to develop, had a series of spendthrift sovereigns. The most reckless of these was probably Henry VIII (ruled1509-1547). This was the royal who married six times. He spent huge sums on his palaces, on his legions of government employees, on the British Navy and on wars against France. Biographer Derek Wilson noted that due to inconvenient tax resistance, "the King's needs and wants could not be simply furnished by going to the people [for more revenue]."
Henry VIII enjoyed windfall gains from confiscating Catholic Church properties in England, but he found himself in financial trouble again. He resorted to the old trick of issuing coins with less gold or silver content than was indicated on the face of the coins - the "Great Debasement" as it was called. The king was broke. Ironically England's first bankruptcy law was enacted during his reign, to protect creditors.

Change Windows 8 Pro to Enterprise
I was hoping I could do a quick version change from Windows 8 Pro to Enterprise. Does anyone know how I can do that? Do I have to perform an actual upgrade to Windows 8 Enterprise using the media? I was hoping I could perform the same kind of anytime upgrade like going from Home to Pro.

I do not understand what you mean by "There is no supported upgrade from Windows 8 Pro to the Enterprise edition".
That seems to be the only way.
Enterprise is strictly an upgrade. That's the only way it's offered, as a VL upgrade client OS.
By "clean install", are you advising we install this upgrade onto a formatted (blank) hard drive?
Ent editions are not a feature-upgrade from downlevel editions - they are a fresh/clean installation only.
If you do perform some kind of inplace-upgrade over an existing downlevel edition (eg Win7Pro or WinVistaBus) then that is an untested/unsupported scenario and MS will not guarantee correct function/operation (which is expressed by MS as "unsupported"), and if you log a case with MS for support of such a scenario, they are most likely to advise you "please wipe and perform a clean install, to eliminate the probable cause"
(Please take a moment to "Vote as Helpful" and/or "Mark as Answer", where applicable.
This helps the community, keeps the forums tidy, and recognises useful contributions. Thanks!)
If you try to upgrade from Windows 8 Pro (retail or OEM), you'll get this message: "Windows 8 Pro cannot be upgraded to Windows 8 Enterprise. You can choose to install a new copy of Windows 8 Enterprise instead, but this is different from an upgrade, and does not keep your files, settings, and programs. You'll need to reinstall any programs using the original installation discs or files. To save your files before installing Windows, back them up to an external location such as a CD, DVD, or external hard drive. To install a new copy of Windows 8 Enterprise, click the Back button in the upper left-hand corner, and select "Custom (advanced)".

The answer lies in the Reimaging Rights doc (pdf).
"Volume Licensing customers can use their Volume Licensing media to reimage their Windows desktop operating system from an OEM only if it is the same product and version as that on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) label that came with the PC."
Contact a Microsoft Volume Licensing Specialist for further information or clarification.

Yes, we are recommending exactly that.
I'm highlighting the difference between the licensing (permitted use) and the technical steps involved.
Win Ent is not an "upgrade" product, i.e. the setup engine of the product does not permit an install-upgrade over an existing installation of Windows. This means you have to clean install.
Win Ent is considered an "upgrade" product - only from a licensing/use-rights perspective.
Win Ent is also constrained (by the use-rights) such that you must already have an underpinning OEM or FPP Windows Client license, which you then (notionally) "upgrade" by assigning your VL benefit (Windows Client + Software Assurance, or, Enterprise Desktop, depending on which you bought) to the machine.
The licensing agreement says that "full" licenses for Windows Client editions are not sold through VL agreements - only upgrade licenses are sold. So you are buying the right to wipe the OEM or FPP off the machine, and then install Win Ent. This is the upgrade the guidance refers to.

Please Contact a Microsoft Volume Licensing Specialist for a definitive answer to your question.

That's baloney. Please, both of you. If you know some facts then cite their official source.
Well, thanks for being persistent. Your comments struck a chord with me so I did some digging around, and MS seem to have revised/clarified some of the technical library content (compared to all previous versions) - it seems to specifically answer your point, potentially in favour of your argument:
Happily standing corrected!
(I might even try it some time in a test rig, but unlikely I'd ever need to deploy an upgrade from one VL edition to a different VL edition, given the product stack we typically buy. People often ask if it's possible to upgrade from Retail to Ent, and that appears not to be possible, according to the library content, which is consistent with previous history)

So, now that the dust has settled, from what I can see on that page, there is ABSOLUTELY no licensing path to upgrade Windows 8 Pro to Windows 8 Enterprise, right?
But for the supported paths, per the table toward the bottom of the page, having already a version of Windows 8 installed, you would at the extremes be able to technically install Windows 8 and Keep Windows settings, personal files, and applications (in geek's terminology, upgrade) - or Keep nothing (clean install).
The next question comes to mind, since in a situation that interests me I have Windows 7 Ultimate:
What would it cost to buy Windows 8 Enterprise outright? Yes, I've seen the "Contact a Volume Licensing Specialist" links above; I'm just looking for swag numbers based on other folks' experience. Thanks in advance for sharing whatever anecdotal information you have.
I wonder whose idea it was not to have a Windows 8 Ultimate.

Mr Monopoly, hope this helps:
You buy a PC from an OEM, it has Windows 8 Pro or Windows 7 on it.
You want all the features of Enterprise, such as Windows to Go, Applocker or Direct Access. Typically you want these because you are an Enterprise customer and have Active Directory, VPN, Remote Access etc. So, to get these features in the Enterprise edition you become a Volume License customer and then purchase the "upgrade" license to allow you to install Windows Enterprise on your OEM purchased machines. This can even include a Macbook Pro with Mac OSx for example.
Then it's up to you to download Enterprise ISO from Msoft and then deploy fresh installations of Windows on your OEM machines. So yes, full clean format and install of the OS itself. The license is upgradable, not the physical installation process.
The new feature versions of Windows 8 seem reasonably suited to their target markets. Ie: You now get Bitlocker and Bitlocker to Go on Pro edition, previously you had to have Enterprise or Ultimate to get this on Windows 7.

What would it cost to buy Windows 8 Enterprise outright?
I think you'd need to sign up for a VL agreement (which has something like minimum 5 seats of either Office or Windows).
You may also need to subscribe to Software Assurance on the Windows Client, to get it.
I think you could buy 4 x Office, and 1 x Windows, or something like that.
As to $$, not sure, since we buy at a different pricing level, the $$ we pay would be discounted compared to a "minimum" buy.
I guess you've seen all the discussion about what Ent edition *doesn't* bring, e.g. WMC etc?

Windows Media Center does not interest me. Enterprise would be a better match for my needs.
Assuming it's thousands of dollars to even begin to look at Windows 8 Enterprise, one has to wonder what would have been wrong with selling an "Ultimate" edition with all the possible features at a premium "home user" price for folks who just need one or two seats.
I'm underwhelmed by Windows 8's feature set at $39.95 for "Pro". I can't see spending more than a couple of hundred dollars to get Enterprise - the value is just not there. My ROI analysis shows that even if Windows 8 Enterprise were free right now, it will be more expensive to run it than to continue with Windows 7 for a while, until the various driver and "new release blues" issues get worked out.
Perhaps a "Windows 8 Ultimate" edition may be forthcoming.

J.K. Rowling didn't rely on any black magic in penning the fourth book in her classic "Harry Potter" series, a U.S. judge ruled.
The federal judge tossed out a lawsuit accusing Rowling of copying the work of a now-deceased author when writing "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
The estate of Adrian Jacobs claimed the plot of the book was lifted from his book "Willy the Wizard," including a wizard contest, and that Rowling stole the idea of wizards traveling on trains.
U.S. & World
Rowling's publisher, Scholastic, hailed the decision by judge Shira Scheindlin, quoting the judge as saying "...the contrast between the total concept and feel of the works is so stark that any serious comparison of the two strains credulity."
In October, a British judge overseeing a similar plagiarism case said Jacobs' estate's claims were "improbable," though he refused to dismiss the case.
According to his estate, Jacobs, who wrote his book a decade before Rowling's first Potter book, had once tried to hire point sought the services of literary agent Christopher Little, who later became Rowling's agent. That apparently was the connection that might have allowed Rowling to know about his book.
Rowling's attorney said the now-billionaire author had never heard of Jacobs's book before the copyright claim was first made in 2004.

Brinsley, John (fl.1663) (DNB00)
BRINSLEY, JOHN (fl. 1663), the elder, puritan divine and educational writer, was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1584 and M.A. in 1588. He became a 'minister of the Word,' and had the care of the public school at Ashby-de-la-Zouch in Leicestershire. The famous astrologer, William Lilly, was one of his pupils, as he himself informs us in his curious autobiography. 'Upon Trinity Sunday 1613,' he says, 'my father had me to Ashby-de-la-Zouch to be instructed by one Mr. John Brinsley; one in those times of great abilities for instruction of youth in the Latin and Greek tongues; he was very severe in his life and conversation, and did breed up many scholars for the universities. In religion he was a strict puritan, not conformable wholly to the ceremonies of the church of England' (Hist, of his Life and Times (1774), 5). Again he says: 'In the eighteenth year of my age [i.e. in 1619 or 1620] my master Brinsley was enforced from keeping school, being persecuted by the bishop's officers; he came to London, and then lectured in London, where he afterwards died' (ib. 8). He married a sister of Dr. Joseph Hall, bishop of Norwich. His works are:

taking an outfit shot at work with my awesome camera that I bought mostly because of the blog.
It's been more than 2 years of blogging DAILY! It's seriously part of my life and I have to think about it constantly to make sure I have pictures to post about.
snapping a picture of my lunch before devouring!
weekend muffins- it's so nice taking pictures on the weekend because I can take advantage of the daylight
But lately I've been struggling with blogging lately. Maybe it's all the craziness in my life right now. Work (new position IS so busy, but fun), Engagement (YAY!!! But planning... oh my!), house buying (oh yeah!) and wanting to join a few clubs (and perhaps start one of my own). It's all so much fun, but it's hard to focus on it all.
The day after the proposal!
So this is me saying that I need a break.
I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to read my little blog. It's been SO much fun exploring this with you all. Of course, I'll continue reading blogs and I have a feeling I won't be gone for long. But I think it's time for a change. Perhaps a new blog or something completely different! I'll be out there though!

Romney accepts MSNBC host's apology on grandson
- Controversy stems from segment on Melissa Harris-Perry show about diversity in GOP
- Romney has an adopted%2C black grandson
- 2012 GOP presidential nominee said he%27ll move on after %27heartfelt%27 apology
Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Sunday accepted an apology from MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry, who expressed remorse for a segment on her show that poked fun at Romney's adopted, black grandson.
Romney, appearing on Fox News Sunday, said he is moving on from the incident.
"I recognize that people make mistakes and the folks at MSNBC made a big mistake," the 2012 GOP standard-bearer said. "They've apologized for it. That's all you can ask for. I am going to move on from that. I am sure they want to move on from it."
During Harris-Perry's year-in-review program, the panel on her MSNBC show discussed the GOP's lack of diversity by commenting on a Romney family photo of the politician, his wife and numerous grandchildren. In the segment, panelist Pia Glenn sang, "one of these things is not like the others, one of these things just isn't the same."
Kieran James Romney, who is black, is the adopted son of Ben Romney, the fourth of the Romneys' five sons. Mitt Romney proudly announced the child's adoption — with a picture on Twitter — in September.
Harris-Perry apologized Saturday on the air, and in an earlier statement to the Romney family. She explained that the controversial segment had gone awry.
"Whatever the intent was, the reality is that the segment proceeded in a way that was offensive and showing the photo in that context of that segment was poor judgment. So without reservation or qualification, I apologize to the Romney family."
Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, said public figures such as himself are "fair targets" and politicians can expect "incoming."
"For children, that's beyond the line," he said, adding he believed the MSNBC apology was a "heartfelt" one.

Whites Now Most Discriminated Against, Say Whites
Will America ever be made safe for white people? It's not looking good, according to white people. In a new survey, white Americans revealed that they are now more discriminated against than black Americans. Oh... oh my.
Asked to rank prejudice against blacks on a 1-10 scale in the 2000s, white respondents put the number at 3.6 - compared with 9.1 in the '50s. But white respondents also put the number for anti-white bias at 4.7 - way up from the 1.8 of the '50s.
To recap:
*PREJUDICE AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE: 3.6, 60% better than it was a half century ago.
*PREJUDICE AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE: 4.7, 161% worse than it was a half century ago.
*All numbers according to white people.
Weep, weep for White America. Where is our Martin Luther King Jr.? Oh right, there he is.

Watch Out Fellows!: Some Trifling 13yr Old Female Lies Bout Her Age On Myspace & Gets 22yr Old Locked Up!
WFTV Reports: "ORANGE COUNTy, Fla. -- A 13-year-old girl's sexual shenanigans have put a second man behind bars. Morris Williams, 22, told the judge he thought the girl was 18-years-old, but he found out Tuesday that ignorance is not a defense. Morris Williams' mother wailed as he went off to jail. The judge asked for media not to show 13-year-old Alisha Dean's face in court, but her pictures are all over her MySpace page and they portray a sexy, 19-year-old divorced woman. "She told me she had just turned 18," Williams said. Williams said Dean picked him up on the street and after a few conversations they had sex. When he heard she was not 18, he went to her father. "He was like 'well, she's 13,'" Williams said of a conversation with Dean's father. STRANGE PHOTOS VIEW 99 PICS capturing a variety of strange news. Williams said he never did it again, but Dean has done it before with 24-year-old Darwin Mills. Mills was sentenced to five years in prison. Dean's father wanted Williams to join Mills there. "One of the reasons for the law is the fact that minors have poor judgment," said Jerry Dean, the girl's father. Williams' father believes the jail sentence sends the wrong message to Alisha. "I guess we just sit back and count how many after this," Henry Smith asked after his step-son was sentenced to jail. Dean's family admits Alisha still stays out late and has yet to delete her misleading MySpace page. Williams will serve six years probation with the first year in jail. The other five years he will have to wear an ankle monitor. His attorney says he will come back to court to ask again for a shorter sentence."

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — Emily Osborne scored the game-winning goal in overtime for the Marshwood High School field hockey team on Friday. But she got plenty of help, and didn't leave anyone out when asked to describe it.
"Jun (Shin) sent it up on the wing," Osborne said. "I used as much speed as I had and sent it right to Lindsey (Poirier). She sent it to Karissa (Boesch), who sent it back over to me, and I slammed it in."
The goal came 82 seconds into overtime and lifted Marshwood to a thrilling 2-1 win over Massabesic.
The win gave the defending Western Maine Class A champions a final regular-season record of 12-2 and will likely give them the No. 3 seed in the upcoming tournament. Should the Hawks finish third, they will not only receive a bye into the quarterfinals, but host a game when they get there.
"We're not used to being the team that everyone's after," Marshwood coach Lisa Truesdale said. "We like going after teams. So this was huge (with) everything these girls are going through right now. To come together like this, it was a team effort. This showed them they have what it takes."
Osborne dedicated her goal to former Marshwood student-athlete Troy Pappas, who was seriously injured in a fall last weekend at Bates College. The incident weighed heavily on the Marshwood student body this past week, and many current players were friends with Pappas.
"It's affected us a lot," Osborne said. "We just wanted to play this really bad, and we wanted it all for Troy and our seniors."
It was the third emotional game between the two teams in the last two seasons. In 2011, Marshwood beat the Mustangs 1-0 in the regular-season finale in Waterboro, then returned to the same field a week later and earned a 3-0 quarterfinal win.
"We remember this game from last year, and it was such a big game," said Marshwood senior forward Sammy Crosman. "We were looking forward to it all day and we wanted to go all out and win it."
The teams played a scoreless first half on Friday, during which Marshwood's Ashley Tice missed on a penalty stroke with 2:33 left. The Hawks fell behind 1-0 after Logan Provencher put the Mustangs on the board with 18:08 to play in the game. The goal came off a penalty corner.
Marshwood got the equalizer with 6:44 to play when Crosman, heavily guarded by Massabesic's Alexis Foglio on a penalty corner, flicked a shot from the circle and into the cage to tie the game 1-1.
"It's hard after they score a goal," Crosman said. "You don't want the momentum to shift. We needed to get the momentum back, and that's what we did."
It was the sixth straight win for the Hawks. Massabesic fell to 8-3-1.
"It was two gladiators going at each other back and forth," said Massabesic coach Michele Martin-Moore. "There are some really good players on both sides of that ball. I really think either team could have won, and neither coach would be upset."
Marshwood outshot the Mustangs 13-5 in the second half and 23-14 for the afternoon. Each team took six penalty corners.
Emotional OT win for Hawks

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. – A South Florida dermatologist is using the golden ratio to map out beautiful faces.
From art to architecture, some of the most appealing structures in the world are measured by the golden ration -- approximately 1.618, represented by the Greek letter "phi."
"Symmetry is important but actually being proportional is even more important," said Dr. Janet Allenby, a dermatologist.
Allenby is using phi to build beautiful faces. She uses calipers to follow the golden ratio, a form of facial mapping that allows her to fine tune the application of injectables like Botox and fillers.
"This is a way we can actually measure faces and see what people need and that way they're not overfilled," she said. "Nothing is worse than seeing somebody's lips come in the room and then their head follows them."
While many people look in a mirror and pick apart certain features, facial mapping focuses on a bigger picture.
"It makes so much sense but I've never seen anything like that before," said one patient.
"This is a way to actually use less product and put it in the right places," added Allenby.

text: For elegance and efficiency in design, Mother Nature takes gold. Compared with our technology, Nature's solutions are often less wasteful, longer lived, self-maintaining and typically stronger, faster and lighter. Engineers looking for new ideas have found inspiration in nature's designs. Biomimicry, or "life imitating," is a time-honored route to innovation, stretching back at least to the 15th century, when Leonardo DaVinci studied birds to create plans for flying machines. In celebration of Nature's clever creativity we've collected a sampling of the coolest biomimetic applications and areas of research. Above: The Kingfisher and the Shinkansen Train Engineers building an upgrade to Japan's Shinkansen, or bullet trains, succeeded in making them travel 200 miles per hour, but their noise exceeded environmental standards. As a train traveled into a narrow tunnel it would create a sonic boom upon exiting. Part of the problem was a blunt, bullet-shaped nose which pushed air in front of it rather than slicing through. To solve the problem, engineers took inspiration from the bills of kingfishers, which can dive into water with scarcely a splash. Kingfishers wedge themselves into water with a streamlined beak that gradually increases in diameter from tip to head, letting water flow past. By modeling bullet train noses on kingfisher beaks, West Japan Railway Company engineers created the 500 series, which entered service in 1997. The trains are quieter, 10 percent faster and use 15 percent less electricity. Images: 1) AskNature.org. 2) Flowizm/Flickr.Strong Like a Tree Trees and bones are strong and relatively lightweight. To distribute stress uniformly, trees add wood at the heaviest load points. Bones remove material from areas where it isn't needed to lighten skeletal frameworks. Engineers have incorporated structural design lessons from trees and bones into software design programs for optimizing the weight and performance of materials. Mercedes' Bionic concept car was built for lightweight strength, taking inspiration from trees and boxfishes. While the low-emission Bionic car was never mass-produced, Mercedes has used similar design principles in subsequent cars produced for market.

Our circulatory system, a three-dimensional micro-vascular network, soon sends our skin materials to help repair the damage. Engineers from University of Michigan created concrete that has a skin-like ability to heal itself when cracked. They used special microfibers, rather than coarse bits of gravel and sand, to strengthen the cement. The fibers allow the concrete to bend and crack in narrow hair-width fractures rather than gaping splits. When cracked, the concrete absorbs moisture from surrounding air, then becomes soft and "grows," filling in the crack. Meanwhile, calcium ions in the cement also absorb moisture and carbon dioxide, forming calcium carbonate -- the material found in seashells. The regrowth and re-hardening makes the broken concrete strong again. While this self-healing concrete initially costs three times what traditional concrete does, over a structure's lifetime it can pay for itself with reductions in repair costs. Images: 1) John DellAngelo/Flickr. 2) Nicole Casal Moore, University of Michigan News Service and College of Engineering.Fighting Germs Like a Shark Unlike the skin of whales and manatees, shark skin doesn't pick up algae or barnacles. This seems to be due to little scales called "dermal denticles." Sharklet is an engineered surface that, through pattern alone, inhibits bacterial growth. The company, Sharklet Technologies, Inc., sells adhesive-backed films for covering surfaces and manufactures the pattern into medical devices like urinary catheters.

When air cools at night, dew collects on the lizard's skin and is pulled to its mouth by capillary action. If passive systems could collect and distribute naturally distilled water, it could help millions of people easily obtain clean, fresh water. Images: 1) AskNature.org.Less Painful, Mosquito-Style Needles Whatever the red, itchy aftermath, a mosquito's initial injection is often painless. The bug's serrated proboscis touches the skin's nerves at fewer points than it would if smooth. In the quest for a less painful needle, engineers at Kansai University in Osaka, Japan are creating tiny, jagged-edged needle modeled after a mosquito's proboscis. Unlike the flat cylindrical tubes of traditional needles, two serrated shanks form their needle's exterior, while a central shaft slides between.

To do this, termites open and close a series of heating and cooling vents throughout the day. When planning the Eastgate Shopping Center and office block in Harare, Zimbabwe, architect Mike Pearce studied the structure of termite mounds. Today, Eastgate uses 10 percent of the energy required by similar conventional buildings. Eastgate's energy savings also allow its rental rates to be lower.

Called tubercules, they reduce drag and allow humpbacks to "grip" the water and swim in tight circles, despite their enormous size. Surfboard developers Fluid Earth built a fin patterned on humpback flippers.

Omni-ID, a company that makes radio frequency ID tags, studied this reflection in their quest to create a tag that could be read through a metal mesh and in water. An intricate set of metal layers focuses and manipulates incoming radio waves, allowing the tag to send back a clear signal.

I'm running a game of Diaspora, which is my first FATE based game. The manual talks about playing with everything in the open and I'm all for that, but when should I actually make up a card for an NPC and put it in front of the players? Only in combat (social or otherwise) or any time they run into one?
I'm concerned that writing up or pulling out a card every time an NPC (minor or otherwise) is introduced would interrupt the flow of play, and showing skills and aspects to my players for minor NPC's would be a distraction. In particular I fear it would introduce red herrings when a player see's that a girl has apex Computers 3. That's not particularly relevant to her role in the scene, but my players tend to latch on to something like that.
When should I create and show NPC cards in Diaspora?
