Rachio Iro lets you take charge of your sprinkler from your iPhone
I am always surprised when I see an awesome connected accessory, and the Racho Iro is no exception. This connected sprinkler controller lets you manage your sprinkler system from anywhere in the world using just your smartphone. The controller is available for either 8 or 16 zones and lets you take charge of your system with everything from auto-scheduling to analytics & reports. Iro is smart enough to watch the weather too, so it can adjust on the fly no matter what the current conditions.
The Rachio Iro isn't a necessity for most people, but it's a very cool accessory that can add another level connectivity to your connected home. Our good friend Phil at Android Central went all-in with the Iro on his home system, so be sure to swing over to Android Central and check out his full review — it works with iOS too!

Rachio Iro lets you take charge of your sprinkler from your iPhone
I picked this up last month and I love it. Sure it's not necessary but the ability to turn on my irrigation system in only one zone for my kids to play in on a whim is such a convenience compared to having to run to basement and fiddle with the standard timer/controller. Easy install and great interface on the iPhone App.
My husband cannot wait until we get one. I'm a little excited too. Hehe

Carolina Jihad Suspect Talked of Domestic Attacks
IPT News
August 4, 2009
*Updated August 5
RALEIGH, N.C. – A North Carolina man accused of conspiring to commit terrorist acts abroad grew so frustrated at his inability to carry out his plans that he vented about committing attacks in America, an FBI agent testified Tuesday.
Agent Michael Sutton testified during a detention hearing for Daniel Patrick Boyd, Boyd's sons Zakariya and Dylan, and co-defendants Hysen Sherifi, Ziyad Yaghi, Anes Subasic and Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan. The men were arrested last week and charged in a conspiracy to commit terrorist acts abroad. If convicted, each could be sentenced to life in prison.
On Wednesday, U.S. Magistrate Judge William Webb ordered six of the defendants held without bond pending their trial. A decision on the seventh defendant is pending.
According to the indictment, Boyd and his son Zakariya, along with Yaghi and Hassan, traveled to Israel in June 2007. The men wanted to die as shahid "that is, as martyrs in furtherance of violent jihad," the indictment alleges. But they came back about a month later, unsuccessful in their attempt to carry out jihad.
A year earlier, the indictment alleges, Boyd tried to get into Gaza "in order to introduce his son to individuals who also believed that violent jihad was a personal obligation on the part of every good Muslim."
During his testimony, Sutton cited comments Boyd made that were recorded by the government or reported by witnesses.
"If I don't leave this country soon," Sutton quoted Boyd saying in one, "I am going to make jihad right here in America."
In another conversation outside a convenience store, Boyd noticed a group of Humvees.
"We should take them out right now," Boyd said. He made a similar comment about a North Carolina state helicopter he saw flying over head, Sutton said a witness told him.
The indictment makes no allegations about any domestic terrorist plot by the defendants. They did buy large amounts of rifles and ammunition and conducted training on private property in Caswell County, N.C. this past June and July.
They also found a fatwa, or religious edict, in Boyd's house saying Muslims have "an individual duty to kill Americans and their allies."
Boyd often made references to jihad, in one recording saying "Allah knows I love jihad."
The case is the latest in a string of alleged homegrown terrorist plots, including
- a Long Island man who joined al Qaeda and allegedly gave the group information about Long Island trains and New York City's subways.
- a group of men who converted to Islam in prison and plotted to blow up two Bronx synagogues and a National Guard plane in upstate New York.
- Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, who stands accused of shooting and killing an Army recruiter and wounding a second in his desire to exact revenge on the U.S. military for "what they had done to Muslims."
Sutton's testimony, meant to show Judge Webb that the defendants are both a threat to the community and a flight risk if released on bond, offered a glimpse into the government's case.
A packed courtroom heard about financial ties between the defendants, their efforts to raise money for jihad and their training with assault weapons, including the use of armor piercing bullets.
Though his attorney denied it, Boyd reportedly made a move toward a gun in his waistband when arrested. In his home, agents found more than 27,000 rounds of ammunition and a trench that witnesses told investigators had been used to store weapons.
In another recording, Boyd talked with a government witness about "hitting" banks and armored trucks, saying he had "hit" a bank in Pakistan. Boyd reportedly journeyed to Pakistan and Afghanistan in the late 1980s and joined the mujahideen fighting the invading Soviet army.
There, he claims to have met Abdullah Azzam, one of the iconic figures for jihadis and a mentor to Osama bin Laden. In 1991, an Islamic court in Pakistan convicted Boyd of bank robbery and sentenced him to having his hand and foot amputated, but the verdict was later overturned.
Defense attorneys tried to distance their clients from Boyd, noting when their clients were not on tapes with him or if they did not meet up with him abroad.
However, the Boyds were not the only ones to travel abroad in what prosecutors say was part of the conspiracy to wage jihad. Yaghi went to Jordan. In July 2008, Sherifi went to Kosovo, and Jude Kenan Mohammad, who is at large, went to Pakistan. Mohammad was arrested by Pakistani officials near the Afghan border last October.
A Raleigh police officer testified about the violent histories of defendants Hassan and Yaghi. Hassan was arrested for domestic violence, but his girlfriend recanted her story. Yaghi was arrested for assault after beating a man in a dispute over money.
Boyd visited Yaghi in jail, asking whether police asked Yaghi about him. Yaghi told him the questions had nothing to do with his trip to the Middle East.
Relatives and supporters of the defendants packed the courtroom, prompting officials to turn away as many as 100 people. The hearing also drew a representative of the Muslim American Society (MAS). Khalilah Sabra minimized the serious allegations in the case as "an illusion. Either the defendants have created an illusion, or the agents have created an illusion, but the reality has yet to be seen."

Homegrown Terrorists & Crime cont...
Submitted by Patrick Dunleavy, Aug 4, 2009 22:22
In 1981 in Nyack, New York another group of "homegrown terrorists", members of the Black Liberation Army and the Weather Underground decided to use the robbery of an armored car as a means to finance their terrorist agenda. In the process Police Officers Waverly Brown and Sgt. Edward OGrady along with Brinks Guard Peter Paige were gunned down. The defendants were arrested, convicted, and sentenced to long prison terms. Daniel Boyd's tape recorded comments about "hitting banks and armored cars" are a stark reminder of the methods used by terrorists to raise funds.
Crime & Jihad - an unholy partnership
Submitted by Patrick Dunleavy, Aug 4, 2009 20:08
Daniel Patrick Boyds comments about "hitting banks and armored cars" as a means of providing financial support for jihad is astounding. This coming on the heels of the story regarding M-13 gang members and drug dealers being utilized by Al Qaeda for logistical support in smuggling members into the United States demonstrates again the unholy alliance between criminal activity and terrorists that stretches beyond prison walls and national borders.

talks on an EU-Japan free trade deal to link the world's third largest
economy and the leading global market, a report said.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan told his cabinet ministers to work on reforms
demanded by the European Union, such as removing non-tariff trade
barriers and liberalising public procurement, Kyodo News reported.
The premier's remarks came as ministers resumed discussions on trade
liberalisation issues, which had been suspended in the wake of the
March 11 earthquake, according to Dow Jones Newswires.
Japan has been pressing the European Union hard to announce the launch
of formal negotiations towards a deal at a summit in Brussels on May
27 and 28.
On prompting by Britain, leaders of the 27-nation bloc called in March
for the speedy launch of negotiations for a free trade deal to assist
disaster-struck Japan -- but on the proviso that Tokyo lift trade
Trade ties between the two have consistently shown a strong surplus in
favour of Japan -- the EU currently being Japan's third largest trade
partner while Japan is Europe's fifth largest.
Japan has been eager to launch free trade negotiations with the
European Union as it believes the elimination of EU tariffs on cars
and electrical appliances would benefit Japanese companies.
But the EU is looking to Japan to scrap non-tariff barriers, including
on food, while offering better general access to European firms.
During a brief stop in Brussels this month by Foreign Minister Takeaki
Matsumoto, his spokesman said Tokyo hoped for a quick trade agreement
to ease recovery from the quake and tsunami.
Officials from both sides are currently working at defining a "scoping
exercise" -- a to-do list scheduling the obstacles to overcome before
the launch of free trade negotiations. That is expected to be agreed
at the summit.

I really like to see that the conception of this serial is really terrible and all the start cast acting was mind-blowing; Please keep sharing insight.
I really like you video and I understand your concept of this blog; it's very awesome post, please keep sharing insight.
Thanks for sharing this video. These children do not seem to take this game seriously but in future if they really believed this than they wouldn't be making fun of it.
Nice posting Thanks for the sharing...
Thanks for the info
The clip reminds me of a Hollywood movie, "True lies" wherein the hero (of course a Us commando) is shown talking to a 14 years old Afghan boy, in the back-ground of Afghan-Soviet war. He asks him : What do you do? and the boy replies: I fight. The next question: What will you do? and the boy says: I shall continue to fight. They promoted militancy. This clip could well be sponsored by the same forces who are out to promote suicide bombing to justify their continuous presence in the region.
I love this and I saw it at least 5 times. The concept of this movie is really very nice and all the start cast acting was also very nice.
Nice info of this movie. What is reality behind of this video?

The Campaign for the Public University, drawing on work by the Institute of Education, London, have published an advert in the Times Higher Education supplement calling for a code of practice in the way institutions use the results of the National Student Survey (NSS).
They may be right to do so but there is a greater issue, the nature of the survey itself. Working in a department which has seen its NSS satisfaction score rise to 100% then drop down to 75% amongst some students and for no discernible reason (in either case), questions have got to be asked about whether polling students is really the best way to measure the worth of a degree, especially when it takes only a small number of neutral students – six who are neither satisfied nor dissatisfied – to decrease the overall satisfaction score by 25 percentage points.
Of course, it is important that Universities listen to their students. Yes, they are customers about to face raised fees. And, yes, my experience is that the NSS has helped to raise awkward but necessary questions about teaching practices within Higher Education.
But, there is a real danger that Universities will become so preoccupied by the NSS that they will simply respond strategically to their students' expectations rather than widening them. The purpose of a University is to provoke, to inspire critical thinking and to provide intellectual fulfillment. It is not at all clear how the over-regulation of crude, standardised information can achieve this.

The Proms, as ever, will bring four nights of the 2014 Castle Concerts to a close on Saturday July 19.
Keeping with tradition The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will provide the grand finale; with the stirring notes of Rule Britannia, Jerusalem and Land of Hope and Glory echoing round the picturesque Castle Gardens.
Union flag in one hand, glass of champagne in the other, friends and families can enjoy a day of picnics and classical music followed by fireworks.
The orchestra will be joined on stage by soloist soprano Jo Appleby as well as the Hertfordshire Chorus, one of the country's finest large choirs.
"I can't think of a better and more dramatic way of rounding off the concerts" - Cllr Howard Doe
Cllr Howard Doe, head of community services, said: "The Proms has become a signature part of the Castle Concerts line up and I can't think of a better and more dramatic way of rounding off the concerts than with the sound of the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.
"It's going to be spectacular as always, so be sure to book your tickets soon to avoid disappointment."
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra has toured extensively, including Scandinavia, Russia, Estonia, the USA, Spain, Turkey and Monaco.

Kailua is King of Hawaiian Chocolate
Before we began chocolatouring around Hawaii, I hadn't previously heard of Kailua–a community located within Honolulu County and just 12 miles northeast of the metropolis of Honolulu city. But the small town of about 38,000 residents is a world away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu and has a bit of the country feel you'd find in a Midwest town of the same size. What makes Kailua different (besides the beautiful beach) is the chocolate!
Within the course of a few blocks, we visited the three chocolate shops I mentioned in the previous post: Manoa Chocolate Hawaii, Madre Chocolate, and Kokolani Chocolates. Each of these is very different and well worth a look.
I love Manoa because it is the labour of love of a young couple in love. Hawaiian-born chocolate maker Dylan Butterbaugh and his finance Tamara Armstrong lead the creative team at Manoa. Tamara handles most of the marketing and Dylan is the chief chocolate maker. They make a super cute couple and some incredibly tasty chocolate. My favourite is the Breakfast Bars made of a 60% "dark milk" chocolate and Hawaiian-grown crushed coffee beans. Unfortunately, due to a shortage in local supply and the high price of Hawaiian-grown cocoa (as much as 4x the price of fine cocoa from any other part of the world,) Manoa uses cocoa beans from Costa Rica, Liberia, and Papua New Guinea to make most of their chocolate. I love the crunch of the Breakfast Bar with cocoa nibs and coffee beans to give your day the kickstart it deserves. (Coincidentally, Manoa used Kickstarter crowdfunding to purchase new equipment for its operation in 2012.) You can take a tour of the tiny Manoa "factory" and learn more about their operation while you taste the different products in their lineup.
Madre Chocolate is similar to Manoa in that they focus on producing excellent chocolate bars from the best quality cocoa beans they can acquire from numerous sources around the world. My favourite Madre creation is the Triple Cacao bar that features chocolate made from cocoa grown in the Dominican Republic along with pieces of cocoa nib, cacao pulp from Brazil, and vanilla bean from Mexico. It's one of the best bars I've ever had, as the tiny chunks of cacao pulp really add a new dimension to the bar. Madre had a super small chocolate workshop in Kailua at time of my visit, but I'm told they're moving to a larger location in Honolulu's China Town in May, so do check their website for details before you plan your visit. Also keep your eye open for more Madre chocolate to contain locally grown beans, as they've already begun working with beans from Hamakua and Holualoa on the Big Island and Waiahole on Oahu, and hope to continue increasing the Hawaiian component of their chocolate over time.
Kokolani Chocolates is another fabulous stop for chocolate lovers visiting Kailua. Chocolatier Virginia Douglas is a Master Chocolatier and graduate of Ecole Chocolat. She uses some chocolate couverture from Valrhona, but specializes in uniquely Hawaiian chocolate creations such as exotic truffles. Some of my favourites from Kokolani include the Blond Chocolate Caramels and the Kokolava made from Waialua Estate Hawaiian dark chocolate, pineapple, macadamia nuts, and coconut. Virginia is a true chocolate artisan with an uncanny ability to blend flavours and design chocolate delicacies that are as beautiful to look at as they are to eat.
You can visit each of these terrific chocolate makers in their shops. I also visited their booths at the Hawaii Chocolate Festival in Honolulu. Detailed profiles of each of these uniquely-Hawaiian chocolate artisans will be contained in Volume II of Chocolatour.
Have you tried any of these chocolate creations? Have you been to Kailua? Please share your thoughts here.
And by the way, for any of you lucky to be in Hawaii at the beginning of May, the lovely Fairmont Orchid Hotel near Kona is hosting the Big Island Chocolate Festival May 2-3, 2014. How I'd love to be back at that fabulous hotel for this delectable event . (I'll be showcasing the Fairmont in a future post.)

Chocolate… it's what's for breakfast. The Manoa Breakfast Bars sound like they are custom-made just for me. And what could be a better combination than chocolate and Hawaii? Book me on the next flight out to Oahu!

I love small, local chocolatiers- heck, I love any chocolate as long as it's dark and made from great ingredients. Thanks for sharing these, Doreen.

I have not had the pleasure of trying any of this chocolate. However, I am tempted to check the bank account, and then book the first flight out. I want one of everything!!
It's interesting to find three great chocolate makers in Kailua. All sound wonderful. Definitely worth a trip outside Honolulu.
Mahalo for demonstrating one more reason to visit Oahu, Doreen. Sun, sea and – chocolate. That gets an enthusiastic 'Aloha!' from me

Dom recently posted..Japanese Kit Kat Selection
It would never occur to me that Hawaii would be a mecca for fine chocolate – and so close to Honolulu too. Puts all those boxes of cheap macadamia chocolates in souvenir shops to shame as a "chocolate souvenir". Regardless of where I'm travelling I love the idea of local food, made with love.

I've been to Kokolani Chocolates once. Absolutely loved the place!
I have not been to Hawaii, though it is on my bucket list. Perhaps you can share some of that lovely chocolate with your readers? Yeah, I mean me. LOL So glad to hear that Hawaii also has some great chocolate makers!

In Spirit and Truth seeks to encourage discussion and deeper consideration of representation issues in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). It is hoped entries will prompt reflection and dialogue on aspects of expanding representation and supporting full participation in the PCUSA, especially at the assembly and mid council levels.
This blog will occasionally feature content written by one of the fifteen members of the General Assembly Committee on Representation, who are teaching and ruling elders from across the country, as well as links and articles of particular interest. The ministries of advising, consulting, advocating, reviewing and recommending are vital to the life of the whole Body of Christ. Committees on Representation and/or their functions exists at all councils above session so from time to time we may highlight activities and insights from sister committees on representation at lower councils throughout the church.
Any views or opinions presented in this blog are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. or the General Assembly Committee on Representation.
Author/Facilitator Molly Casteel is an Assistant Stated Clerk and the Coordinator for Representation, Inclusiveness and Ruling Elder Training in the Office of the General Assembly. She is a teaching elder (a.k.a. Minister of Word and Sacrament) in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary.
Have you ever wondered what participation looks like in real time at General Assembly? Are you attending GA221 in Detroit? Do you enjoy seeing the church do its work in committee?
We are recruiting observers of committee business during the 221st General Assembly (2014). We've learned that we need a full diversity and representation in the observers - everyone sees and hears the action before them a little differently. The more observers, the better picture we get of what's happening in participation.
It is said that a group working in committee is like making sausage. We are looking for ...
The General Assembly Committee on Representation at its bi-annual meeting in late October held discussions, participated in training and wrestled with issues of Cultural Proficiency in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A). Personally, my participation in such training began in about 1980 when I worked to train church based child care programs, their leaders and staff, about Cultural Diversity, Cultural Proficiency and Cultural Competency. Most programs then and church bodies today have much to learn from these elements. The Synod GACOR Representatives and others attending the training in Chicago this past October, struggle with basic questions of what is diversity ...
I did not know that it was not there. For over 35 years of reading the Bible I thought it was there. And so when I looked for it I could not find it. The Book of Job spoke about his life, about his health, about his conversations with God, and about all the things he received and developed afterwards.
We can read in Job 42: 12-17 (NIV)
The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys ...
Oh what a beautiful time was had by the 60 folks who gathered for the training event concluded on October 26. All leaders in their council's committees on representation, women and men gathered from as far as Puerto Rico and Washington state, Texas to Minnesota.
Two stories have been published in the news service so far: one on October 25; another today, November 1. There will be more.
Resources shared by speakers will be accessible on the event page. Already appearing there is the sermon preached by the Rev. Dr. Margaret Aymer, on Friday, October 25, "Respond" on the ...
The 2013 Synod COR Training Event will be held October 24-26 at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare Hotel and Conference Center in Rosemont, IL.
The conference will open with dinner and contextual Bible study on Thursday evening at 5:30 pm and end with closing worship on Saturday at noon. The theme is "There's Power in the Patchwork: Unity in Diversity."
While we share Constitutional language and minimum functions for representation and inclusiveness in council life, we do not share the same contexts, understandings of, or structures for, the work. "Unity in Diversity" looks different in each council ...
I'm feeling especially grateful these days. This week I received a colorful package from California. Inside was a book, 40th History of the Ethnic Concerns Committee, a great gift from Joan Alston, a colleague in the Synod of the Pacific. The cover is a beautiful rendering of the two sides of the hand-carved doors to the chapel here in the Presbyterian Center where I serve. More than once this week, I've given in to the temptation to peruse a few of its pages and in it I've learned so much more about the deep history ...
A visitor at this meeting, I was given privilege of the floor to advise the Synod commissioners about language in soon-to-be adopted Synod by-laws about the Committee on Representation.
What are you giving up for Lent? That was the question. In fact, I will always remember a new friend's answer to that question. She proudly said, "Do you know what I'm giving up for Lent? I'm giving up celibacy," and before I could feel my ears turning red and my cheeks blushing she announced "I'm getting married!" The idea of giving something up for Lent may or may not be in our Presbyterian/Reformed ethos. We tend to say that our grace-oriented faith does not require our efforts to purify ourselves to please God. But ...
In the summer of 2011, a historical document of the PCUSA became quietly accessible again with its online publication.
The General Assembly Committee on Representation played a role in making that happen when it did. They were concerned about the ahistoricity of conversations around Presbyterian self-structures in light of the work of the Mid-Councils Commission in 2011.
For over one hundred years there were all-Black governing bodies (presbyteries and synods) in the Presbyterian Church. A history of these structures was written and adopted by the 205th General Assembly in 1993. This document provides a rich understanding of the diverse expressions ...
As the horizon of human knowledge expands many traditions and words take on new meanings.
Initially, the Epiphany (gr. epiphaneia - "manifestation") was a festival that was celebrated twelve days after Christmas in order to remember the birth of our Lord, his baptism in the Jordan River and the manifestation of his glory in the celebrations of the wedding at Cana.
When in the fourth century, the Greek Church adopted the Roman date for celebrating Christmas ...
As a teaching elder commissioner to the 220th General Assembly in Pittsburgh, I had a big time "wow" moment during a PowerPoint presentation given in plenary, "A Snapshot of Presbyterians." (1.2M) It was this shocking statistic: of the 688 GA Commissioners, ZERO were under age 25. ZERO.
So, how shall we increase participation of young adult commissioners at future general assemblies?
General Assembly did take action on this issue. The Review of Biennial Assemblies Committee's item 04-01, Recommendation 5, (to create thirty-two young adult commissioners under age 36, 1 ruling elder and 1 teaching elder from each ...
Privilege, Power and Policy: The Church as Employer, the report of the Climate for Change Task Force to the 220th General Assembly (2012) and highlighted actions taken by the assembly.
Oh what a time we have had at the PW Churchwide Gathering here in Kissimmee, Florida. So many good conversations, shared stories and lots of laughter.
Today we got to meet a mighty mother-daughter duo, Connie and Amy. They met up in Florida from Washington state and Texas respectively. Connie was a voting member at the business meeting this Triennium and Amy served on the Churchwide Coordinating Team for a few years and was back to visit with old friends.
Today was the first day the exhibit hall was open and saw women gathering from across the world. Here are a few of the sights at the COR booth (#416).
We are seeing old friends...
At each and every General Assembly, the committee greets new members and says good bye to others who have completed their service. Two members leaving after this assembly have served for 8 years! Alma-jean and Stanley, you will be missed and we give thanks for the good work you have contributed and the legacy you leave for those who serve after you.
So it is with Assembly Moderators as well. This year, we said thank you to Moderator of the 219th General Assembly (2010), Elder Cindy Bolbach as her term of service ended.
Welcome to In Spirit and Truth, a new blog from the 16-member, General Assembly Committee on Representation (GACOR) of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).

dying for believing
People are still dying for their faith in Christ. Jesus set the example. It is in dying that we are born into eternal life.
The challenge of modern martyrdom in placed firmly in the foreshadowing of the day of Hosanna. The ongoing violence and kidnapping of bishops in Syria is only the most recent.
So, if we are going to die for our faith, what is it that we actually believe? Is it worth dying for?
Fr John Brian delves into this important issue of Christian spiritual attainment.
Lord, give us spiritual integrity even as the martyrs.
Please pray for Fr. John Brian who continues to encourage us in continuing development of Christian spirituality .
This sermon uses and refers to scripture readings appointed by the Syrian Malankara calendar and was given on Sunday, April 28, 2013 by Fr. John-Brian Paprock at Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Mission Chapel, Madison, Wisconsin.
Please pray for our mission and help us as you are able.

The Direct Use of spent Pressurized water reactor fuel In Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU) reactors (DUPIC) fuel-handling technique has been investigated through a conceptual design study to estimate the unit cost that can be used for the DUPIC fuel cycle cost calculation. The conceptual design study has shown that fresh DUPIC fuel can be transferred to the core following the existing spent-fuel discharge route, provided that new fuel-handling equipment, such as the manipulator, opening/sealing tool of shipping casks, new fuel magazine, new fuel ram, dryer, gamma-ray detector, etc., are installed. The reverse path loading option is known to minimize the number of additional pieces of equipment for fuel handling, because it utilizes the existing spent-fuel handling equipment, and the discharge of spent DUPIC fuel can be done through the existing spent-fuel handling system without any modification. However, because the decay heat of spent DUPIC fuel is much higher than that of spent natural uranium fuel, the extra cooling capacity should be supplemented in the spent-fuel storage bay. Based on the conceptual design study, the capital cost for DUPIC fuel handling and extra storage cooling capacity was estimated to be $3 750 000 (as of December 1999) per CANDU plant. The levelized unit cost of DUPIC fuel handling was then obtained by considering the amount of fuel that will be required during the lifetime of a plant, which is 5.13 $/kg heavy metal. Compared with the other unit costs of the fuel cycle components, it is expected that DUPIC fuel handling has only a minor effect on the overall fuel cycle cost.

Return to the Public Charter Schools Grant Program Request for Applications page.
The Public Charter School Grant Program, Request for Applications, Budget Technical Assistance Webinar, was presented on October 15, 2013 at the California Department of Education (CDE). The focus of the webinar was report training for sub-grantees. The speaker was Pete Callas, Fiscal Administrator of the Charter Schools Division at the CDE.
Slide 1 and 2: Welcome
Welcome to the California Department of Education's (CDE) presentation on the Public Charter Schools Grant Program (PCSGP) Budget Technical Assistance Webinar. This session will focus on Budget Reporting for fiscal year 2013–14. My name is Pete Callas, Fiscal Administrator of the Charter Schools Division at the CDE.
Slide 3: Purpose of the Webinar
The purpose of this Webinar is to provide guidance for charter school operators with an existing Public Charter Schools Grant in 2013–14. We will review the 2013–14 PCSGP Budget forms and the Quarterly Expenditure Reporting forms that you should have received in an email last week. PCSGP sub-grantee schools will use these documents to report their budget and expenditures for the 2013–14 fiscal year. These forms will take the place of the on-line Quarterly Benchmark Report (QBR) process that was utilized in previous budget years. During this webinar session, please type any questions you have into the Q&A panel. We will pause to answer questions periodically throughout the presentation.
Slide 4: Agenda
Today's webinar agenda will cover a brief overview of federal guidance, PCSGP funding process, budget forms, Budget Review process, brief overview of allowable expenses, and PCSGP budget reporting.
Slide 5: What to have in front of you?
During this presentation, we will review the components of the PCSGP budget and reporting process for Implementation Years 1 and 2. We recommend that you have the Form 5 Budget Summary, Form 6 Budget Narrative and Form 8 Object of Expenditures Codes in front of you.
Slide 6: PCSGP Funding Process
This slide shows a flowchart of the budget review and funding process. Once a PCSGP sub-grantee submits their budget it is reviewed by CDE staff. During the Budget Review process the budget submitted is reviewed and approved. If additional information is needed or if unallowable expenditures are identified, then Budget Forms 5 and 6 will be returned to the sub-grantee for revisions. CDE staff will contact the charter school and follow up with an email describing the concerns identified. When CDE receives the budget revisions from the sub-grantee, the revised budget is reviewed again and if approved it will be placed in the sub-grantees PCSGP file. Once the budget is approved, it will be referenced each quarter during QER review by CDE staff to approve quarterly payments. The Payment Process takes approximately 8 to 10 weeks for the school to receive their payment. The Payment Process has multiple approval steps including 2 to 3 weeks to approve the drawdown of funds from the U.S. Department of Education, approximately 2 weeks for CDE staff to prepare and submit payment package to CDE accounting office and 3 to 4 weeks for the State Controller's Office to process and send the payment to the sub-grantee.
Slide 7: Budget Review Summary Form
As discussed in the previous slide, the budget forms are reviewed by CDE staff to ensure expenditures align with the program description, for accuracy of calculations, sufficient descriptions of resources or activities, allowable expenditures, proper use of object codes, and reasonableness of expenditures. If CDE staff identify concerns on the budget forms, then a Budget Review Summary Form will be prepared by CDE staff and sent to the sub-grantee describing the required revisions or additional information needed. The sub-grantee will have approximately seven days to make the required revisions to Forms 5 and 6 and return them to CDE. This process is time-sensitive and can delay the processing of the Quarter 1 payment. Sub-grantees are encouraged to respond quickly to the areas identified. If you have any questions about the budget concerns, please contact the CDE staff that sent you the information.
Slide 8: Question Break
We will take a short break so that you may type your questions into the text box.
Slide 9: Overview of Federal Guidance
This slide provides links to several references to online documents. The links are also available on the CDE PCSGP Web site. These documents provide guidance for allowable expenses and general guidance for the PCSGP. If you have a question regarding the grant program, you should contact CDE staff in the PCSGP Program Office for technical assistance. Please do not reference any other allowable expense documents that you may have received in the past.
Slide 10: Supplement versus Supplant
As a federally funded program, the PCSGP is provided to supplement not supplant funding for a charter school. The funds from PCSGP are required to be expended on resources or activities that will enhance the program provided by the charter school. PCSGP funding may not be used to pay for existing levels of service funded from any other source, such as State or local resources, which is considered to be supplanting. All PCSGP funds must be used to support activities and programs described in the PCSGP approved application and Work Plan.
Slide 11: Allowable Costs Object Code 1000
I will now discuss each of the Object Codes. As we go through each of the sections I will provide some examples of expenditures that are allowable and those unallowable with PCSGP funds. Object Code 1000 is for Certificated Personnel Salaries, which include administrators, school counselors, and teachers. Although some certificated personnel salary expenses are allowed during the two implementation years, it is limited. Again, PCSGP funds cannot be used to supplant certificated personnel salaries during the implementation years. Some examples of PCSGP funds that may be used for certificated salaries include: "paying for substitute teachers when teachers are participating in professional development that is related to the PCSGP application program"; or funding stipends for teachers who are participating in PCSGP related activities that are outside of their regular classroom time schedule. Please check with CDE staff if you have questions regarding the use of PCSGP funds for personnel expenses.
Slide 12: Allowable Costs Object Code 2000
Object Code 2000 is for Classified Personnel Salaries, which include instructional support staff, office support staff, non-certificated technical support staff, classified supervisors, and classified administrators. Although some classified personnel salary expenses are allowed during the two implementation years, it is limited. PCSGP funds cannot be used to supplant personnel salaries during the implementation years. Some examples of PCSGP funds that may be used for classified salaries include: paying for substitute office support staff or classroom support staff when they are participating in professional development that is related to the sub-grantees PCSGP program; funding stipends or hourly compensation for classified staff who are participating in PCSGP related activities that are outside of their regular work calendar or daily schedule. Please check with CDE staff if you have questions regarding the use of PCSGP funds for personnel expenses.
Slide 13: Allowable Costs Object Code 3000
Object Code 3000 is for Employee Benefits, which include employee benefits for certificated and classified personnel. Although, some employee benefits expenses are allowed during the two implementation years as they relate to Object Code 1000 and 2000 allowable expenses during the two implementation years, it is limited. PCSGP funds cannot be used to supplant employee benefits during the implementation years.
Slide 14: Allowable Costs Object Code 4000
Object Code 4000 is for Books and Supplies. You can expense textbooks and core curriculum for all grade levels, and reference books and materials. Under object code 4400 Non-capitalized Equipment, you can use PCSGP funds to purchase classroom technology including desktop and laptop computers, printers and scanners, Smart Boards and LCD projectors, handhelds such as Ipads and document cameras. Keep in mind – Reasonable cost of expenditures – If you propose to serve 100 students at your charter school, you would not purchase 300 Ipads with PCSGP funds for student use. Regular classroom supplies that would be purchased with State or local funds on an on-going basis are not allowable during the two Implementation years.
Slide 15: Allowable Costs Object Code 5000
Object Code 5000 is Services and Other Operating Expenditures. Under object code 5000 a sub-grantee may expense contracts for professional development for certificated and classified staff, the required Board Governance and Fiscal Management training, travel and conference expenses as they relate to the seven elements, and the work plan within the application. Membership dues are not an allowable expense with PCSGP funds. The sub-grantee may expense rent or lease costs for their facility during the planning year, but not during the two implementation years.
Slide 16: Allowable Costs Object Code 6000
Object Code 6000 is for Capital Outlay Expenses. PCSGP funding is allowable for purchasing books and media for a new school library and equipment over $5000. PCSGP funding cannot be used to pay for building and building improvements, land improvements, or equipment replacement. Classroom technology equipment should be placed under object code 4400 Non-capitalized Equipment.
Slide 17: Allowable Costs Object Code 7000
Object code 7000 is not an allowable expenses. A charter authorizer or a Charter Management Organization cannot request Direct or Indirect costs from PCSGP funds.
Slide 18: Object Code Reference
PCSGP Form 8 Object of Expenditure Codes is a reference for sub-grantees to utilize when completing the Budget Narrative Form 6 and the Budget Summary Form 5. If you have any questions regarding an allowable expense and object code usage please contact CDE program staff for assistance.
Slide 19: PCSGP Budget Form 6
I have discussed each of the object codes and provided some examples for you. Slide 19 provides an example of a completed Budget Narrative Form, form 6. As you prepare your budget forms, you will begin with Form 6. Sub-grantees must provide sufficient information in the Budget Expenditure Detail column to describe the resources and activities and the costs associated with each object code. In the Budget Expenditure Detail column include the quantity of items and the per unit cost for each item and who will utilize the resource, who will participate in the activity, and who will provide the service. For example, purchasing 60 IPads (4th generation) from Apple @ $439/unit and 2 IPad charging carts to store the 60 IPads @ $2000/cart for student use in the classroom to access core curriculum resources and the internet. Form 6 will include the actual cost of the resources and activities for implementing the activities described in the application narrative and the Work Plan. Group the expenditures by object code series and provide totals by object code series and sub-grant year. The object code series total must correspond exactly to object code series total on Form 5 Budget Summary.
Slide 20: PCSGP Budget Summary Form 5
Once you have completed Form 6, you will enter your budget information into Budget Summary Form 5 – these are the totals for each object code. Form 5 should reflect the roll up by object code of your PCSGP budget. The Form 5 on this slide is a sample using the information from the previous slide showing a sample of PCSGP Budget Form 6. The dollar amounts entered on this form need to match the numbers in your object code totals from Form 6.
Slide 21: Question Break
We will now take another short break so that you may type your questions into the text box.
Slide 22 & 23: Budget Reporting – Quarterly Expenditure Report (QER)
Each sub-grantee is required to submit a Quarterly Expenditure Report (QER). These forms will take the place of the on-line Quarterly Benchmark Report (QBR) process that was utilized in previous budget years. Sub-grantees will use the QER form that should have been received last week as an attachment in an email, and posted on the CDE PCSGP Web page to report expenditures for the each quarter and cumulative for the entire grant year. The QER due dates are reflected on the QER Instructions page. Submission instructions are outlined on each QER form.
Slide 24: Budget Reporting – Annual Progress Report (APR)
In addition to the QER, each sub-grantee will be required to submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) that includes the Annual Progress Report Questionnaire and the Work Plan Status report. The APR will also include a narrative section identifying percent complete of each of the Work Plan Objectives and any changes that have occurred to the Program Plan. Along with the APR forms, you will need to submit you Work Plan reflecting the percentage completion of the Objectives within each Work Plan element. CDE will provide more details and direction on the Annual Progress Report in a subsequent technical assistance Webinar. For those sub-grantees that submitted their annual expenditure reporting using the on-line Comprehensive Phase Report system, known as the CPR, in the past, this APR reporting system will take the place of the on-line CPR system.
Slide 25: References
Again, here are several links to the online guidance and reference documents. If you have questions regarding the PCSGP, please contact CDE program staff for technical assistance.
Slide 26: Questions
Please submit your final questions into the text box.

Catholic, other religious leaders decry U.S. government shutdown
October 1, 2013
© Catholic News Service
Anticipating the worst, religious leaders gathered the day before the federal government shut down to denounce what they called "political brinkmanship. Shutting down the government will do real damage," said the Rev. David Beckmann, a Lutheran minister and president of the Christian citizens' anti-hunger lobby Bread for the World, at a Sept. 30 news conference. "Risking our nation's creditworthiness will do even more damage. Most clearly, the disruption and uncertainty will put the brakes on our economy." The chairmen of three committees of the U.S. bishops weighed in Oct. 1, saying in a joint letter to Congress: "A just framework for future budgets cannot rely on disproportionate cuts in essential services to poor persons. It requires shared sacrifice by all, including raising adequate revenues, eliminating unnecessary military and other spending, and addressing the long-term costs of health insurance and retirement programs fairly." The government shut down its nonessential operations Oct. 1, the start of a new federal fiscal year, furloughing hundreds of thousands of workers. At issue is a dispute between the Republican-controlled house and the Democratic-run Senate.

The launch control center, or LCC for short, is the main control facility of any U.S. ICBM complex. From here, the crew can monitor the complex, launch the missile, or relax in the living quarters (depending on the ICBM system). The LCC is designed to provide maximum protection for the missile combat crew and equipment vital to missile launch.
All LCCs were dependent on a missile support base (MSB) for logistics support. For example, Minot AFB is the MSB for the 91st Space Wing. This is important to note, for some wayward maintenance crews have strayed from their MSB/missile complex, into another base's complex unwittingly.
Three types of Minuteman LCCs exist:
There are four configurations of the LCC, differing primarily in the amount and location of communications equipment. Functionally, there are three LCC designations. One Alternate Comniand Post (ACP) LCC is located within each Minuteman wing and serves as backup for the wing command post. Three Squadron Command Posts (SCPS) serve as command units for the remaining squadrons within the wing, and report directly to the wing command post. The ACP doubles as SCP for the squadron it is located within. The remainder of the LCCS (16) are classified as primary LCCS. Four primary LCCS are located within each squadron and report to their respective command post.
The Titan LCCs held four crew members: the Missile Combat Crew Commander (MCCC), the Deputy Missile Combat Crew Commander (DMCCC), Ballistic Missile Analyst Technician (BMAT), and the Missile Facilities Technician (MFT).
Titan II had a three story LCC dome. The first level was the crews living area and contained a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and a small equipment area that housed an exhaust fan and a water heater. The second level was the launch control area and held the LCCFC (Launch Control Complex Facility Console, the main launch console), the ALOC (Alternate Launch Officer Console), the Control Monitor Group (monitored the missile), and several offer pieces of equipment. The lowest level, level 3, held communications equipment, the two battery backup supplies, the sewage lift station, the motor-generator, and several other pieces of equipment.
There were two types of Titan II sites: standard, and ACP (alternate command post) sites. ACPs had all of the equipment that one would find on a standard site plus additional communication equipment.
The LCC outer structure is cylindrical with hemispherical ends. Walls are approximately 4.5 feet thick. A blast door permits entry into the LCC from the tunnel junction. An escape hatch 3-ft in diameter is located at the far end of the LCC. The escape hatch and associate tunnel are constructed to withstand weapon effects and allow personnel egress in the event of damage to the vertical access shaft. Essential LCC launch equipment along with the missile combat crew are located in a shock isolated room suspended within the blast−proof outer structure. The room is steel and suspended as a pendulum by four shock isolators (see picture below).
The Minuteman LCC differs from previous missile systems in that it only held room for two personnel, the Missile Combat Crew Commander (MCCC) and the Deputy Missile Combat Crew Commander (DMCCC).

1. Effective with the 2012 Championships, wrestlers must wrestle eight matches at that weight before their conference qualifier to be eligible to earn a spot for the conference.
2. Instead of wrestlers being required to meet one bronze-level criteria to get into the at-large pool, they will now be required to meet two.
3. The number of automatic bids will be fixed at 29 per weight, rather than the variable situations in years past.
