Andy Butler claimed a double as npower League One strugglers Walsall climbed off the bottom of the table with a 6-1 rout of Bristol Rovers.
Butler started the ball rolling with a 17th-minute header and further goals from Matthew Gill and Julian Gray gave the home side a 3-0 lead at the break.
Jeff Hughes pulled one back for the visitors four minutes after the restart, but Matt Richards and Alex Nicholls killed off any hope of a fightback before Butler claimed his second 17 minutes from time.
At the other end of the table, Bournemouth strengthened their grip on second place behind leaders Brighton, who were in FA Cup fourth-round action, with a 2-1 win at Plymouth.
Veteran striker Steve Fletcher, the club's assistant manager under new boss Lee Bradbury, came off the bench to claim victory six minutes from time. Marc Pugh had fired the visitors into a 19th-minute lead, but Rory Fallon looked to have secured a point with his 71st-minute equaliser until Fletcher intervened.
Oldham, who started the day in seventh, climbed two places as a result of a 2-2 draw at Carlisle, although they will be kicking themselves after squandering a 2-0 lead.
The Latics looked to be cruising when goals from Aidy White and Chris Taylor inside the opening 33 minutes had put them in complete control. However, Francois Zoko pulled one back with 15 minutes remaining, and when the home side were awarded a stoppage-time penalty for Paul Black's challenge on the same man, James Berrett converted.
Yeovil edged themselves closer to safety with a precious win at Brentford, although they remain just inside the bottom four. The visitors took the lead with 22 minutes gone through Oli Johnson, but Charlie MacDonald levelled for the home side six minutes before the break.
However, Paul Wotton won it seven minutes from time after Brentford keeper Richard Lee had been dismissed.
Swindon were unable to make home advantage count against Exeter as a 0-0 draw left them sitting precariously above the drop zone on goal difference.

December 12, 2005
LOS ANGELES --Two CEO's, Bob Eckert of Mattel and Bobby Kotick of Activison, whose jobs are to capture your imagination, joined host Jeff Greenfield (CNN) at UCLA Anderson for the taping of an episode of the CEO EXCHANGE. Now in its fourth season, the December 7th event took place in front of an audience of Anderson students, alumni, faculty and members of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the show's national underwriter.
The discussion explored how Mattel, the world's largest manufacturer and distributor of toys, will stay relevant and up to date and how Activision, one of the top creators of videogames, will keep up with the rapid advances in technology. Both CEO's lead the way in figuring out what we will be playing with tomorrow. They shared their successes and failures and what they learned from both.
Students, faculty and other members of the audience posed questions ranging from issues of interactive co-branding, employee recruitment and retention, to the differing corporate styles and cultures, to issues of social responsibility.
"Toys and Games" the name for this episode, will be broadcast on 100's of PBS stations across the country this coming spring.
Robert A. Eckert is chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Mattel, Inc., the worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of toys with approximately $5 billion in annual sales.

The Hawaiian Humane Society Investigator
The Hawaiian Humane Society's 13 animal officers ward off aggressive dogs, rescue cats from storm drains and enforce animal cruelty laws. To find out what the job is really like, we rode along with an HHS investigator.
(page 1 of 3)
When we're looking for a loose dog we try and think like them. 'If I was a dog, where would I go?' Sometimes it leads us right to them," says Officer Vernon Ling. He's patrolling a Navy neighborhood near the airport after receiving a dispatch call about a loose German shepherd. It's nowhere to be found. "He must have gone home," says Ling. With a buzz haircut, brown uniform slacks and a tan, collared shirt—complete with a silver badge above his left breast pocket—Ling looks like law enforcement. Technically, he is, but, instead of writing up parking tickets or arresting thieves, Ling enforces state and county animal-related laws. He is a humane investigator with the Hawaiian Humane Society.
Five days a week, Ling arrives at the Waialae Avenue shelter before dawn for his 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. shift. "As long as I have my coffee I'm good," he laughs. Ling has been a humane investigator for eight years. Last year, he and the other 12 investigators responded to 17,487 calls, which included everything from your neighbor's barking Yorkshire terrier, to an injured wild dove, to animal cruelty cases. The HHS investigators undergo special training and have been deputized by the Honolulu Police Department. Ling does not have arresting powers, but he can issue citations for a pet owner's actions, mandate when animals need veterinarian services and issue court summonses for complaints lodged against pet owners. Ling does all this without a gun, a Taser or even Mace. "We use verbal judo," he says, smiling. "My weapon is my mouth." A large part of a humane investigator's job is to educate pet owners about their responsibilities under the law and to step in when animals' rights are violated; humane investigators work as much with humans as they do with animals.
"Animals can't talk, so I'm their voice," he says. This means Ling also has to have strong people skills and be able to diffuse tense situations. It's not uncommon for owners to get defensive, even hostile, when Ling investigates a barking-dog complaint, or a report of an emaciated animal tied up behind a house.
Ling is on the road by 6:30 a.m. after retrieving paperwork from his inbox detailing some of the day's calls from dispatch. He tunes the dial to 96.3. "I listen to Krater in the morning; it's more mellow." In the afternoon he'll switch over to KSSK. That station has the best traffic reports, he says. He would know; Ling spends most of the day in a white Ford F-250, which is owned by the society. He monitors dispatch calls, checks case files and has access to pet-owner information using a touch-screen, Internet-accessible laptop. "It's the best thing that ever happened," he laughs. "It makes doing paperwork easier." The trucks are also hooked up with GPS devices. HHS dispatch operators can track the exact address of the truck, how fast Ling is driving or if he is at a standstill in H-1 town-bound traffic. Dual air conditioning keeps Ling and the animals he picks up cool. Unless the animals are injured, they ride with him until his shift ends, allowing him to respond to more calls. The compartments in the back of the truck hold metal cages of different sizes for the animals. Ling also has leashes, bottled water and bags of dog and cat food for his rescues, and for pets of homeless or impoverished pet owners he visits.
Ling is one of only four humane officers out on patrol every shift—two dispatched to each side of Oahu. For the past eight years, Ling has been covering the East side which includes Pearl City, Hawaii Kai, Waimanalo and Kaaawa. "I've always had a passion for animals," he says. "I grew up with dogs, birds and a cat." Today his wife and three kids, ages 4, 9 and 16, own a Chihuahua. Ling, who was born and raised here, always wanted to become a police officer. He worked as a security guard at a Waikiki hotel for five years before becoming a HHS humane investigator, combining his passion for animals with his desire to be in law enforcement. "I get to interact with people and it's hands-on with animals. Every situation ends on a good note for the most part."
› 7:20 a.m.: The Rescue Job
"There's a bird behind the fridge. One of those walk-in refrigerators," says Ling. It's a wild zebra dove, those small, common birds you see everywhere, but Ling takes the situation seriously; it's a Priority 1 case, a classification that includes injured animals, loose, aggressive animals and animal-related calls from HPD. His truck doesn't have sirens or lights, so despite the need for a quick rescue, he still obeys the traffic laws.
He drives to J's BBQ in Kakaako. The bird had wedged itself between a wall and the metal fridge. Ling walks in the small eatery, bustling with customers making a pit stop before work. The owner knows the drill and gives Ling a ladder—this is the second time a bird has flown through the window and gotten stuck. Ling puts on a latex glove, climbs the ladder, stands on top of the fridge and scoops up the bird with a black net. Its wings beat noisily against the fridge as Ling deftly puts it into a small metal cage. The bird is fine, if subdued, after its experience. "It's OK, little bird," Ling says, holding up the cage before putting it in the truck. He decides to take the bird back to the shelter, where someone from the Wild Bird Rehab Haven will assess it. HHS partners with the nonprofit, which treats wild birds on the Island and re-releases them.
Retrieving the bird was easy, but Ling recalls a tougher rescue case. A call came in after someone heard meows coming from an Aloha Stadium storm drain. It took Ling an hour and half to rescue the scared cat. The fire department was even called in. He then notified the owner through the cat's microchip information. "It was missing for a month and a half. She had flyers up and just started bawling when I called her. That's what we're about—rescuing."

Somalis urge government to ban khat
About 100 members of the Somali community have demonstrated outside Downing Street to call on the government to ban a herbal high.
Khat, which is illegal in the US and many countries in Europe, has been chewed for centuries in east Africa and the Middle East.
The campaigners said it caused medical problems and family breakdowns.
The Advisory Council for the Misuse of Drugs is currently reviewing the harms associated with khat.
Effects of chewing the leaves of the khat plant include euphoria and extreme talkativeness, but side effects can include dizziness, heart problems and anxiety.
'Mental health'
Fears have been raised that the stimulant is contributing to mental health problems within the communities that use it.
Richard Hamilton, Africa editor for the BBC World Service, attended the demonstration.
He said research suggested that more than a third of the over 100,000 Somalis in the UK have admitted to consuming khat on a regular basis.
The demonstrators said that the drug caused mental illness, depression, cancer and death from liver failure.
They added that the social impact of khat has kept men away from work and led to the disintegration of families and local communities.
Abukar Awale, who organised the demonstration, is himself a former khat addict.
"The number of families who are breaking down due to khat is beyond your imagination," he said.
"There is clear evidence of medical and social harm.
"I'd like to bring to your attention a report which came out in 2011, called 'khat related deaths' there are fourteen cases - all young men, all of them died of liver failure.
"They are not related. The one factor they all have in common is excessive khat use, which leads us to believe there is huge evidence of medical harm."
A Home Office spokesman said: "The Advisory Council for the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) is currently reviewing the harms associated with khat.
"The government is required to consult the ACMD and will not prejudge this advice.
"The home secretary will consider the advice fully when it has been received, which is likely to be later this year."

Gender identity disorder is generally called transexuallism. Transvestism refers to the practice of obtaining sexual pleasure by dressing in the clothes of the opposite sex. Today the term cross-dressing is more commonly used because it does not allow for a mistake of transsexualism, which is a complete gender change from the original sex. Transvestism is a paraphilia for which the essential feature is intense sexual urges and sexually arousing fantasies involving dressing in clothing of those of the opposite sex. It is extremely important to note that just because an individual is classified as a transvestite does not mean that they are necessarily homosexual. Extensive studies have been conducted to show that transvestites are not homosexual in many documented cases. Many psychiatric concepts have been used to try and explain why transvestism is prominent in certain individuals, such as the constitutional predisposition of unknown origin known as degeneration. Degeneration referred to an innate neurologic weakness that is transmitted with increased severity to future generations and produced deviations from the norm. Despite there being many theories on transvestism, there are no commonly accepted ideas because human sexual disorders can be extremely difficult to understand. In some cases, transvestism can become so prominent in an individual that they become transsexual. An individual who is transsexual usually begins with taking hormone injections and undergoes plastic surgeries in order to change their sex organs to the opposite sex. While transvestism is not widely accepted as a norm today, society has generally learned to accept the idea that some individuals are born with this sexual disorder.
Sexual sadism could as well be identified as paraphilia. Someone who delivers sexual sadism is called a sadist. The administered humiliation, pain and suffering could either be psychological or physical. The pain, humiliation and suffering may also cause injuries or death to the person receiving them. During a sadistic behavior, the person who is receiving the pain or humiliation may not be a willing partner. Though, sadists usually live their daily lives in agony and impairment because of the aggressive behaviors or cruel fantasies.
There are many assumptions to the cause of sexual sadism; some are branching from the psychoanalytic group. For example, the psychoanalysis method implied that childhood trauma such as sexual abuse or major childhood incidents can reveal itself in nonsensical behavior. Because of the test results finding by neuropsychological and neurological from sex offenders, some psychologists tend to believe that sexual sadism might be genetic or due to biological factors. Even though the desire for sexual sadism could begin during one's infancy, the commencement of active sexual sadism normally take place throughout early adulthood. However, the real cause of sexual sadism is still unknown. Also, sadists are not easily diagnosed. Some are forced by family members, friends or court order to seek therapy, which often helps with the treatment of sexual sadism.
In addition, sexual masochism is the opposite of sexual sadism. The masochist feels excited when receiving humiliation, pain and suffering. The physical actions of a masochistic could involve several different activities such as: cutting, piercing, beating, blindfolding, electrical shock, being urinated or defecated on, forced to bark, verbally abused, and forced to cross-dress. One could be identified as a masochist after receiving these symptoms for at least six months; however, it is known that men are found to be more sexual masochists than women. The cause for sexual masochism is also unknown. Based on learning theory, sexual masochists were initiated because of suppression from unsuitable sexual fantasies. In today's society, most of the sexual fantasies are derived from the conscious and unconscious state of mind. Some psychologists believe that masochists enjoy receiving the pain and humiliation in order to feel empowered.
Very few sadomasochism search for help with a therapist or a social worker. Sadomasochism that tends not to seek help often gets into trouble due to sexual variations. The level of tensions by society increases toward people with bizarre sexual preferences. Although, the cause of sadomasochism is unknown, the disorder can be treated. Similar to other types of paraphilia, treatment is mainly dependent on the person's desire and willingness to change. Numerous forms of therapy such as: psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, aversion and positive behavioral therapy approaches, reality therapy, medications, hormonal treatment, reconditioning and restructuring techniques have been found effective in treating sadomasochism. An additional method that can be used to treat sadomasochism is social skills training. Social skills training is one of a kind that needs to develop within healthy family relations; however, it could be that some people who developed sadistic and masochistic behavior may perhaps in part, because they do not know how to form healthy relationships, whether sexual or nonsexual, with other people. Even though, social skill training is not a substitute for medications or psychotherapy for sadistic and masochistic, but it sure can be useful as an adjunctive treatment.
In comparison, a sadist is one who enjoys giving pain during sexual intercourse while a masochist enjoys receiving the pain giving by the sadist also known as sadomasochism. According to several psychologists, including Sigmund Freud, most sadomasochism is upper or middle class men and women who are highly educated and hold professional jobs. The necessary element is not the pain or repression itself, instead it is the facts that the sadist most of the time has more power or controlled over the masochist.
Another known sexual disorder is forced sexual behavior, which is generally broken down into three different areas: rape, sexual abuse of children, and sexual harassment. Rape is generally defined as the act of forcing sexual activity on an unwilling person. Over the past few decades rape has become increasingly prominent in the United States, so much so that a reported one in six women have been raped. Rapists generally do not have a distinct profile, but several theories exist as to some of the reasons why men choose to rape women. Others believe in a cycle of abuse in which men that were abused as children are more likely to engage in acts of sexual misconduct such as rape. This theory is especially prevalent when talking about the sexual abuse of children, which includes incest, child molestation, and pedophilia. Incest refers to sexual relations between relatives. Incest is prevalent in many cases where there has been a cycle of abuse and a parent sexually abuses their own child. Child molestation refers to the sexual behavior with a child without force or direct threat of force. This form of forced sexual behavior is still considered forced because a child can't legally consent to the act. This form of forced sexual behavior can be equally as damaging to a child simply from the mental distress it puts the child through. Pedophilia refers to the persistent sexual interest in children who have not reached puberty. Most pedophiles are men while the victims are young females, but there are still plenty of reported cases where the victim is a male and the pedophile is a female. Many pedophiles also commit the other acts of forced sexual abuse and continue the acts throughout their lifetime. Sexual harassment is the final act of forced sexual behavior that is included in this discussion. Sexual harassment refers to the unwanted sexual advances, comments, or any other form of coercive sexual behavior by others. Sexual harassment is so prevalent in the United States today, especially in the workplace, that most jobs promote sexual harassment awareness within the first week of being hired. Just because an individual has not committed the actual act of touching another person does not mean that it can't be equally as damaging.
In today's lifecycle, people have different ways of expressing their desires as a voyeur or exhibitionist. In most cases, they are harmless. Voyeurism and exhibitionism are two sexual activities, but the two are both engaged with different meanings. Both voyeurism and exhibitionism are considered paraphilia. Voyeurism is when one individual watches the other individual undress his or her clothes during a sexual activity, such as taking a shower or getting undressed for bed. The term voyeur comes from the French, and means "one who looks". Men are the main the suspects to be called a voyeur. A person is considered a voyeur when he or she is caught sneaking to watch a person undress, and he or she gets aroused by watching the person take his or her clothes off. Most victims are complete strangers to the voyeur. When a person is listening to a sexual conversation over the telephone, he or she is performing a type of voyeurism also. A stranger may never know that he or she is being watched by a voyeur. Women can be caught being a voyeur throughout life too. Voyeurs are in the dark people. They rather stay hidden, and never be seen because of the embarrassment, but they love to watch a stranger take off his or her clothes. Most men who struggle to fulfill their own sex life, are the main ones diagnosed as a voyeur. A voyeur must want to better his or her behavior in order to let go of the bad habit.
A person could have multiple types of fetishism going in his or her life. Amputee, breast, sexual, foot, etc. are all different types of fetishism. When a person has a sexual fetishism, this act can be very dangerous and scary to the innocent bystander. Fetishism is a disorder that is characterized when there is a pathological assignment of sexual fixation. Fetishism can be looked at as harassment by many different people. Harassments can happen at any time, place and by any person. Fetishism is found primarily in heterosexual men. The male gender outnumbers the female gender when it comes to voyeurism, exhibitionism, and fetishism. The male gender is always trying to find a quick way to get aroused. Anyone can be a victim when it comes to voyeurism and exhibitionism. People still do not understand the actions of either behavior. Although voyeurs and exhibitionist know that they are risking their life with their actions; however, they still feel like they cannot control their behavior. They rather get in trouble for their actions, rather than seek help.
In almost every sexual and gender identity disorder case, the exact causes of these disorders are not entirely known. Some researchers believe it is biological and genetic causes, while other researchers believe people start developing sexual and gender identity disorders throughout their adulthood. While people would like to believe that these disorders are made up in a person's unconscious mind, it is truly hard to believe; especially when people go to extremes of having sex changes or setting up dungeon rooms to play out their fantasies. Most societies are not accepting of people who prefer abnormal sexual practices, but hopefully researchers will have a breakthrough to help determine the causes of these disorders and help people better understand the abnormal.

The Arthur J. Marshall, Jr. Collection contains digital reproductions of papers by Arthur Raymond Marshall, Jr., (1919-1985) a south Florida ecologist whose work spanned "every significant environmental struggle in South Florida ... from dredging and filling issues in the 1950's to the repair of the Everglades today" (Al Burt, "The Marshall Plan", "Tropic", The Miami Herald, October 21 1984.) He campaigned against building a jetport and a barge canal in the Everglades, and, through his "Marshall Plan", promoted the restoration of the Kissimmee River to its natural state.
Sponsored by the Arthur R. Marshall Foundation & the Florida Environmental Institute, this collection of papers has been furnished to the Everglades Digital Library to provide a total perspective on the career of Arthur R. Marshall. His "total system view", recognizing the scientific basis for treating the Everglades from Lake Kissimmee to the Florida Bay as a single ecosystem, has emerged as the prevailing approach for restoring the south Florida ecosystem today.
If you would like more information on the ARM archives, please refer to the archival register from the Arthur R. Marshall Collection at University of Florida. You may also contact the Art Marshall Foundation for more information.
Guide to the Collection
Prepared by: John Marshall, Arthur R. Marshall Foundation
This collection of papers from Arthur R. Marshall starts with Marshall's March,
1972 Proposal for a Florida Environmental
Institute (FEI) . The questions raised in the proposal are very
contemporary, and indicate Art Marshall's appreciation for the system approach,
and the system scientist, or "generalist" which he was. The particular copy
digitized in this collection was found with papers establishing a Marshall
Foundation in 1982, with the assistance of Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and her
organization, Friends of the Everglades.
The next few items in the collection represent a series of "Petitions" entitled
For the Future of Florida, REPAIR THE EVERGLADES,
published quarterly from 1981 to 1983, by the Friends of the Everglades. The
essense of this four page petition, known as the"Marshall Plan", makes for
interesting comparison to the Comprehensive
Review Study (Restudy) of the C&SF Project authorized by Congress
in 1992, and now under consideration. Art Marshall has penned his approval
on the 1982 edition, which appears virtually the same as the 1983 edition.
Art and Marjory took this petition to the South Florida Water Management
District (SFWMD) per the June 11, 1981 Statement
to the SFWMD Governing Board. This was not the first time, nor
the last time, the Marshall Plan would go to SFWMD, per the 20 Nov 1980 Critique
of Water Management in South Florida paper. A current perspective
of the "Marshall Plan" and the interaction of Art & Marjory, as well as
Johnny Jones, Art's legislative partner, is provided in the Spring 1988 issue
of the Everglades
The Kissimmee Basin - Lake Okeechobee restoration was and remained Art's
primary focus. The issues were presented to Governor's conferences in 1972
and 1973, as indicated in the Energy &
Growth, and the 1971-72 Water
Management Bulletin autographed by Art Marshall. He had a way of
circling things, his sign of unity. His short paper
of 26 March, 1982, Another Prediction for the Everglades System, indicates his growing concern that his favorite project
would not be completed in his lifetime. Art passed away in March, 1985. The
fate of Kissimmee Basin restoration is still uncertain.
The Marshall Plan was also presented to the Florida and U.S. Congress per
Statement to the Joint Committee of the
Florida Legislature 17 Jan 72, and Statement
to the Subcommittee on National Parks and Recreation, 15 Feb 72.
An Arthur R. Marshall Foundation founder provides an historical punctuation
mark: "We have not acted on it [the Marshall Plan] 26 years later", per the
April 6, 1998 Palm Beach Post Article.
The initial collection is rounded out with a few more papers. South
Florida - A Case Study in Carrying Capacity released 29 Dec 1972,
is an overview of growth problems that also reads very contemporary, and answers
many of the questions posed in the March 1972 FEI Proposal.
Also included is the document The Environmental
Impact of the Big Cypress Swamp Jetport, released by the Dept of
the Interior, for which Art was a major contributor. The lessons-learned here
apply to the current Homestead Airport Controversy as a local issue and how
it affects the current plans for Everglades restoration, in general.

WEDDING- Wedding <i>party: </i>Funny moments at formal affairs
There's pomp and circumstance at many weddings– big white gowns, tuxedos, white gloves, even a horse-drawn carriage or a Bentley. But as these candid photos show, even the fanciest of affairs feature moments of unexpected levity.
Tom Daly, Tom Daly Photography
If this is the knife, who wants to see the fork?! This military groom, says Daly, made sure the wedding cake was cut with style, using an antique sword. Fortunately, Daly says, that was the toughest battle he fought all day.
Will Walker, William Walker Phototography
Some couples like sports. And some couples really like sports. Such was the case at a recent wedding Walker shot at the Main Street train station in Richmond. Following the ceremony, the wedding party made their way up the historic station staircase as guests waited at the top. As the bride and groom ascended, the groom's buddies suddenly went into action.
"They rolled out this banner for the couple to run through," says Walker, and the newlyweds appeared just like a football team entering the field. "Everyone was hooting and hollering."
Kalin Scharnbeck, KMS Photography
Boys will be boys. And sometimes big boys will be little boys. Kalin Scharnbeck was taking wedding pictures outside a church before the ceremony when the groomsmen suddenly regressed. Spotting a nearby playground, the decorated military men dashed over and got to work making a sand castle.
"They were just being so goofy," says Scharnbeck. "I though they were pretty brave to be playing around in white uniforms before the wedding!"
No, that bridesmaid's face isn't covered with tears of joy– it's covered with wine spilled during an excited surprise hug from a very happy guest.
"The girl in the middle didn't yet know her gleeful greeting had resulted in a spill," says Scharnbeck, who explains that the photo was taken late in the reception and that the three pals shared a big laugh after the photo was shot.
Rob Garland, Rob Garland Photography
As the groom closed the door on bachelorhood, these bachelors had to climb a door to fetch the bride's wildly tossed garter, which had snagged on a ledge above.
Although they worked together, one man clearly came out on top with the traditional lucky prediction of being the next to wed.
Holland Photo Arts
The exchange of rings is one of the most tender and significant moments in the wedding ceremony, but for this poor groom, it was also the funniest.
"He fumbled and dropped the ring," says Bill Holland, of the priceless expression on the bride's face as her soon-to-be-husband scrambled around to find it.
"Everyone laughed," says Holland, "but luckily the couple both have great senses of humor."
This wedding may have been one of the safest ever held– thanks to a policy at the ITC and Reagan Building that requires everyone who comes in to pass through a metal detector. Everyone made it through, says Bill Holland, except the most important person: the bride. "The comb on her veil set off the detector," he says, "which brought lots of laughs from friends and family waiting to go through."
Jen Fariello Photography
Crazy hats spark crazy dancing! Thanks to a DJ at this reception who came prepared with props for everyone, the mood went from light to airborn in minutes as two male guests mimicked Fred and Ginger to onlookers' delight. "They were just being nutty," laughs Fariello.

Art and the atomic age
Radioactive disposal sites and other residuals of the bomb era.
Uranium mine tailings litter the West in geometric mounds that range in size from a couple of acres to a half-mile long. After the mid-20th century mining boom, many processing mills sat idle for decades before their hazardous waste, which sometimes was used as fill in local sidewalks, roads, houses and schools, was removed to these disposal sites and sealed with rock and soil layers. The tombs may last only a few hundred years, far from the 4.5-billion year half-life of the tailings' primary radioactive element, U-238. The uranium was originally sought for bombs; now, surviving mines supply the nation's 65 nuclear power plants. An exhibit through Jan. 5, 2014, at Santa Fe's Center for Contemporary Arts displays artwork exploring the mineral's fraught history and impacts. These and seven other aerial views of disposal sites are the Los Angeles-based nonprofit Center for Land Use Interpretation's contribution to the show.

Transform your enterprise and accelerate innovation
In today's high performance compute environments, acceleration of algorithms is key to meeting end customers' service requirements. Acceleration can deliver both higher performance and lower cost, but only if the compute platform is designed for heterogeneous computing. The IBM POWER8® chip, with its Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI) technology, delivers on this promise of accelerated computing.
Whether the workload is on the premises or in the cloud, IT organizations must provide increased system performance as their workloads grow with demands for big data analysis, social media applications, continuous customer connectivity, and business-specific applications. Increases in processor performance alone cannot satisfy the workload demands. Therefore, solutions must also come from system-level advances such as heterogeneous computing, processing engine customization, and open platform development that enables cross-company innovation.
CAPI connects a custom acceleration engine to the coherent fabric of the POWER8 chip. The hybrid solution has a simple programming paradigm while delivering performance well beyond today's I/O-attached acceleration engines.
With many accelerators now available, solution providers are using CAPI to improve performance versus existing solutions, to lower costs, and to create solutions that were previously beyond the reach of the compute complex.

Social Media Spotlight: Eight Tips for Writing an Engaging Blog Entry
In our previous installment of Social Media Spotlight, we took a look at how blogs can help tell your company's story and draw in new customers. Well, now it's time to take a deeper dive into how to craft a blog post.
Alex Krasne and I have been writing and blogging for quite a while now (about 30 years, combined, to be exact), so we know a thing or two about how to shape ideas in a way that engages readers and generates a conversation. Here are our eight tips on how to write a solid blog entry.
Read on to find out the details on our eight tips, as well as links to several partner blogs:
Step 1: Pick your topic. Whether you're offering tips, your thoughts on news, or highlighting a customer win, the choices for what to write about are endless.
Step 2: Identify your audience. Figure out who will be reading your blog, then craft your content just for them.
Step 3: Do a braindump. Don't worry, it's not as gross as it sounds. Once you've decided on your topic, simply jot down as much information as you can–get quotes, collect data, talk to experts, get links to articles about the topic, and write down all you know
Step 4: Talk to experts. Once you've gotten your background information and fact-finding out of the way, do you have enough information to craft a blog post? If not, you may want to interview subject -matter experts and get quotes or background information from them, too.
Step 5: Drive action. Decide what you want readers to do –whether it's to learn about a new topic, to download a white paper, or attend a company event. Make sure to keep your blog post limited to one main theme.
Step 6: Work on the lead. In newsrooms, back when those existed, the lead (or lede as journalists say) of a news story served to provide the reader with a quick snapshot of the news that included the who, what, when, where, why, and how. Put your lead as close to the beginning as possible, so you're not burying it or the point of the blog post. Try to make it fun, catchy, and interesting.
Step 7: Edit. Now that you've got all of the information in place, edit, cut, and hone your post. If anything doesn't fit, cut it. If anything doesn't make sense, rework. Be merciless.
Step 8: Have others read your post. Make sure you ask a few trusted colleagues to read your post. Ask them if it makes sense and whether the main point is easy to decipher. If not, make edits and changes according to their suggestions. And be sure to check for spelling and grammar, too.
We asked you to tell us if you are blogging, and several of you provided us with links. Here's a few partner blogs that you can read for ideas and inspiration:
Does your company have a blog? Got any blogging or writing tips that you'd like to share? Be sure to note them in the comments.

commercial property for rent or lease, Industrial Space For Lease.
Guernsey Iowa, Commercial & Industry Space for lease or rent
Agents, Owners
Guernsey (IA) commercial property for lease, rent, and leased investments.
Find Guernsey industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & shops. Locate a Guernsey warehouse lease and most types of real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
Generally Guernsey leases can be long and very complex and it is generally the rule rather than the exception that an attorney should be part of the negotiation process prior to signing any Guernsey commercial lease agreement. It does seem however that the majority of tenants do sign a standard lease that has been prepared by the Guernsey landlord. Parties to the transaction should seriously consideration to the involvement of an experienced Guernsey real estate attorney to protect themselves with regard to their obligations and commitments.
Search Guernsey real estate and space for sale, lease and rent
If your company lacks the means to obtain financial loans for purchasing Guernsey commercial property, there's no need to put strategies, business plans, and lucrative ideas on hold. Leasing commercial real estate has been an advantageous opportunity for Guernsey business owners and new entrepreneurs alike. While it may be an easier avenue compared to purchasing Guernsey property, there are still terms and conditions that can need to be haggled, settled, negotiated, and in some cases, debated. With an experienced Guernsey broker on your side, you can leave the stress of negotiation to a more experienced hand. Besides a broker, a lawyer can help navigate the lease to ensure your Guernsey company�s best interests are protected and the terms are fair.
Guernsey commercial, industrial real estate, and land for commercial or industrial development, in nearly all cases has to be specifically zoned for a particular, or multiple business use. Investments in both Guernsey commercial and Industrial properties ideally will result in real estate appreciation and either be an ideal home for the purchasers business, or for the Guernsey investor, a return on investment from rental income. On the other hand a misguided or emotional purchase can entail risk, such as bankruptcy of the tenant business and a decline in Guernsey real estate value. Low demand for the business and overbuilding are just two reasons for declining investment return on capital.

Questions on shipping and delivery?
After you order, the item gets packed and prepped. Once it's out the door, you'll get a tracking number to see where your item is in transit.
How will it get to me?
- Smaller items will come like any FedEx/UPS delivery that comes to your home or business.
- Larger items will go on freight truck. They'll call you to schedule a good date/time for you to receive the items.
Why does it take so long to get to me?
- To bring the best possible service and make sure items are delivered without damages or blemishes, we have delivery partners that do nothing but deliver furniture. Does this make things a little slower? Yes. But we'd rather you have your items in perfect condition but a little slower, than damaged or blemished.
- Many small parcel items will take the standard delivery time of 3-7 business days, depending on how close you are to the shipping warehouse.
Benefits with Shopping with Zoetico
- Delivery Appointments - You'll know exactly when it's coming!

Hello! I'm a systems security engineer from Morgantown, WV. I'm often found on freenode IRC. I'm generally interested in security related topics, including DF, security in programming, systems security, cryptography (though quite novice with regards to the mathematical/algo design/cryptanalysis side of the house), et al.
Politically, I'm a moderate Libertarian. I believe strongly that it is our responsibility as security professionals to protect people both from a violation of their property and from a violation of their rights and liberties.

Our core values articulate the ideals that guide the operations of Central Christian College of Kansas in pursuit of providing a Christ-centered education for character. They provide a conceptual framework by which our institution holds itself accountable.
Acknowledging that God is the source of all truth, we emphasize a balanced application of scripture, reason, tradition and experience. We use these as the measure through which we test and approve truth as we explore, study and appreciate His creation.
Granting that God has called every individual to full devotion to Christ, we are committed to providing an environment through which each individual can develop and sustain a maturing relationship with God.
Realizing that character is a reflection of the whole individual (spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical, social, environmental and vocational), we are dedicated to providing a personalized and balanced liberal arts education.
Appreciating that excellence provides an opportunity to honor God and inspire people, we promote an environment of innovation, where people are equipped and encouraged to serve with distinction.
Recognizing God's invitation, we continually and consistently utilize prayer as the primary means through which we seek guidance and counsel, articulate our praise and thanksgiving, and ask for His action and intervention.
Understanding that God has uniquely created every individual, we seek to provide an environment where each person is treated with respect and dignity.
Believing that our actions reflect on the character of Christ, we adhere to the highest moral and professional standards for all personal and corporate interactions.
Knowing that God has challenged every individual to active service, we foster an environment where we can develop our expertise in order to effectively minister.
Trusting that effective leadership and followership is an outcome of humble service and spiritual gifting, we strategically sustain an environment where each person can excel in response to God's gifting and leading for their lives.

- 3 eggs (divided)
- 115g sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- zest of 1/2 a lemon
- 1 pinch of salt
- 45g flour (sifted 4+ times)
- 20g corn flour (sifted 4+ times)
- icing sugar (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 150 °C and line your muffin/cupcake tray with paper liners.
- Beat the egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and salt together on a high speed for around 4-5 minutes until light in colour and fluffy in texture. In the meantime, continue to sift both types of flour. This will make the texture of your cupcakes much lighter.
- Sift around 1/3 of the flour onto the yolk mixture and mix in on a slow-medium speed. Repeat until all the flour is combined.
- Whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peaks are formed and then fold the egg whites gently into the batter; be careful not to over-fold the mixture.
- Spoon into your cupcake liners and bake for around 20 minutes, or until the surface of each cupcake springs back when touched.
- Place on a cooling rack and subsequently dust lightly with icing sugar.
* Makes 12 cupcakes.
These cupcakes are only mildly lemony. This is a personal preference. Feel free to add more lemon zest if you like.
- Double the recipe if you choose to opt for a cake rather than cupcakes. Bake in two unbuttered 7" cake tins for 25-30 minutes.
- Substitute the lemon zest/juice with orange zest/juice for an orange sponge.
- Alternatively, replace the citrus flavours with cinnamon or cocoa powder. In such cases, be sure to swap the 1 tbsp of juice with an equivalent amount of water.
