Man claims $1M ticket purchased in Killdeer
BISMARCK -- A lottery player left the North Dakota Lottery office with 10 times more money than he thought he had won recently. A $1 million Powerball with Power Play ticket, purchased at Cenex Convenience Store in Killdeer, was claimed at lottery headquarters recently.
The player, who chose to remain anonymous, arrived in Bismarck thinking he had won $100,000, according to a press release from the ND Lottery. Lottery staff informed the player that he had won $1 million. The winner was in complete shock and said he had no idea what he planned to do with the money.
The winning ticket, drawn on April 2, was carried around in a wallet for four days before the numbers were checked.
This is the 26th Match Five Powerball Prize in North Dakota. If a Powerball ticket is purchased with Power Play and matches all five white balls, it is automatically worth $1 million regardless of the multiplier, according to the release.

Vidya to play Subbulakshmi in Rajiv Menon biopicFollow us on Social Media
Follow @iamdesirulez
Tweet #iamdesirulez
It seems that Vidya Balan is set to play Bharat Ratna awardee vocalist M.S. Subbulakshmi in a biopic.
The Subbulakshmi saga, which spans 88 years, would be told by admaker-cinematographer-filmmaker Rajiv Menon who has earlier directed Tamil feature films "Minsara Kanavu" ("Sapney" in Hindi) with Kajol and Prabhudheva, and "Kandukondain Kandukondain" with Tabu and Aishwarya Rai playing sisters.
Confirming the Subbulakshmi bio-pic for the first time, Menon, who is currently shooting an ad abroad, said: "I've narrated the script to Vidya, and she has liked it. We would now be taking the project to the next level next week after I return to India. At the moment, I am shooting with giraffes and lions in South Africa."
Subbulakshmi would be one of the most ambitious biopics ever, to be made at an estimated cost of Rs.70 crore in three languages Hindi, Tamil and English.
Said a close friend of Rajiv from the Tamil film industry, "Rajiv has been deeply interested in Carnatic music, especially the music of Subbulakshmi for years. He has lived with this project for many years. He feels Vidya with her keen understanding of Hindustani sangeet would be able to pull off the legendary icon's life."...being a human...

Computational Earth Sciences
The Computational Earth Sciences group advances and communicates the predictive understanding of Earth Systems by developing and applying models, quantitative methods, and computational tools that exploit high performance computing resources.
Group Projects
Accelerated Climate Modeling for Energy - ACME
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is one of eight Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories that will use high-performance computing (HPC) to develop the most sophisticated Earth system model to date for climate change research with scientific and energy applications. The national labs are collaborating with the National Center for Atmospheric Research, four academic institutions, and one private-sector company on this long-term project, known as Accelerated Climate Modeling for Energy, or ACME. Many of the ORNL team members are also Climate Change Science Institute (CCSI) researchers.
DOE and ORNL have been major drivers of Earth system models in recent decades, and ACME will provide scientists with Earth system models that take advantage of upcoming milestones in computing capability. As new HPC architectures support computing power at hundreds of petaflops and then exaflops (a thousand petaflops), more expansive simulations will enable finer climate predictions.
And with more computing power comes significant expectations for scientific discovery.
"The model we are building will provide rapid science advances by including new processes such as phosphorous cycling in tropical ecosystems and by making it easier for domain science experts to participate in model development and application," said Peter Thornton, ORNL land modeler and ACME council member and Land Model Task Team leader. "Through innovative software architecture and intensive collaboration, we're building new science bridges to existing communities of observational and experimental expertise, which will challenge and ultimately improve our ability to predict future climate system dynamics."
Using DOE Office of Science Leadership Computing Facility resources, including ORNL's 27-petaflop Titan supercomputer, the team will set out on a 10-year plan to develop model codes that address key climate science questions, including those related to the water cycle, biogeochemistry, and cryosphere.
In the near term the team will simulate changes in river flow and other parts of the hydrologic cycle by modeling interactions between precipitation and the landscape within high-resolution, fully coupled atmosphere and land surface models. Over the next decade these models will help answer how the water cycle will evolve in a warmer climate and change land and water use.
Likewise, ACME models will explore fundamental questions about the impact of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles on the climate system and then simulate changes in a warmer environment once new and developing models have been validated. Simulations of the cryosphere, or surface ice in the form of the continental Antarctic ice sheet, will also gain new depth and resolution, allowing researchers to study its stability in the climate system and the potential effects of sea level rise due to melting.
To contribute to this advanced model development, CCSI experts in terrestrial biogeochemistry and atmospheric chemistry will work with computational scientists to optimize workflow and engineer new software tools for calculating an increased number of scientific variables at higher resolutions on Titan, the Mira supercomputer at Argonne National Laboratory, and other DOE computing resources.
"Our goal is to build the best possible model to run on DOE computers, and with an optimized workflow and a strong software engineering infrastructure, we'll be able to broaden access for domain scientists to tackle detailed scientific problems," Thornton said.
CCSI and ORNL researchers involved in the program leadership are atmospheric scientist Kate Evans as Workflow Task Team colead, computer scientist Patrick Worley as Performance Task Team leader, and ORNL National Center for Computational Sciences Director James Hack as ex officio council member.

Regional Modeling Frameworks (site PI, Moet Ashfaq)
Predicting the regional hydrologic cycle at time scales from seasons to centuries is one of the most challenging goals of climate modeling. Because hydrologic cycle processes are inherently multi-scale, increasing model resolution to more explicitly represent finer scale processes may be a key to improving simulations of the hydrologic cycle. The overall objective of the proposed research is to develop frameworks for robust modeling of regional climate and hydrologic cycle, and to improve understanding of factors contributing to uncertainties in simulating future changes in the regional hydrologic cycle. We propose a hierarchical approach to test the veracity of global high resolution, global variable resolution, and nested regional climate model for regional climate modeling. We hypothesize that hierarchical evaluation of different modeling approaches will lead to better understanding of their relative merits and improve the frameworks for robust regional climate simulation. Our evaluation hierarchy has four stages: 1) Idealized, no physics test cases, 2) Idealized, full physics test cases, 3) Real world, atmosphere-only and ocean-only simulations, and 4) Real world, coupled atmosphere-ocean simulations for both current and future climate.
At each stage, four types of experiments will be performed:
- Global Simulations at High Resolution (GS-HR)
- Global Simulations at Low Resolution (GS-LR)
- Global Simulations using Variable Resolution (GS-VR) with high resolution in the area of interest and low resolution elsewhere
- Regional Simulations using High Resolution (RS-HR) within a limited-area domain with the lateral boundary forcing provided by GS-LR.
The GS-HR and GS-LR simulations will be performed using CCSM with three different dynamical cores—Spectral, HOMME, and Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS). The latter can be configured for GS-HR, GS-VR, and RS-HR so all three modeling approaches can be compared within a single framework. The RS-HR simulations will be performed using MPAS, WRF, and RegCM. For GS-VR and RS-HR, the high-resolution regions will be located in North and South America where the regional hydrologic cycle exemplifies scale interactions and atmosphere-land-ocean feedbacks that challenge regional climate modeling.
The global and regional simulations will be compared and evaluated to assess (a) the impacts of different dynamical cores for global high-resolution simulations, (b) multiple techniques for mesh refinement, (c) the upscaled impacts of the high resolution region, and (d) the overall value of regional climate simulation. We will also apply regional and global diagnostics, evaluation metrics, and process-based analysis to the simulations to determine (1) whether modeling frameworks that allow scale interactions through global high resolution or variable resolution may be more skillful in simulating the regional hydrologic cycle in climate regimes dominated by convection; (2) whether models that couple atmosphere and ocean at the regional scale are more skillful in simulating regional climate variability in the west coast of North and South America; and (3) whether differences in simulating feedbacks by different modeling approaches may be modulated by surface heterogeneities to amplify differences in simulating regional hydrologic cycle changes in the future climate.
DOE SciDAC (BER and ASCR)
The BER SciDAC Partnerships efforts focus on two main research thrusts: climate and environmental sciences and biological systems. Partnerships in climate and environmental sciences aim to advance the simulation and predictive capabilities of state-of-science climate modeling and provide improved models for better understanding the movement of subsurface contamination. Partnerships in biological systems seek to develop new methods for modeling complex biological systems, including molecular complexes, metabolic and signaling pathways, individual cells and, ultimately, interacting organisms and ecosystems.
Multiscale Project (Jim Hack, site PI)
The MULTISCALE project's primary goal is to produce better models for these critical processes and constituents, from ocean-eddy and cloud-system to global scales, through improved physical and computational implementations. An integrated team of climate and computational scientists will accelerate the development and integration of multiscale atmospheric and oceanic parameterizations into the DOE-NSF Community Earth System Model (CESM). The team's technical objective is to introduce accurate and computationally efficient treatments of interactive clouds, convection, and eddies into the next generation of CESM at resolutions approaching the characteristic scales of these structures. The project delivers treatments of these processes and constituents, which are scientifically useful over resolutions ranging from 2 to 1/16 degrees.
The MULTISCALE team will develop, validate, and apply multiscale models of the climate system based upon atmospheric and oceanic components with variable resolution. The project will exploit new variable-resolution unstructured grids based on finite-element and finite-volume formulations developed by team members. Effective deployment of these dynamical cores will require significant and concurrent advances in time-stepping methods, grid generation, and automated optimization methods for next-generation computer architectures.
Predicting Ice Sheet and Climate Evolution at Extreme Scales (PISCEES)(Kate Evans, site PI)
Although continental scale ice sheet models have improved in recent years, much work is needed to make these models reliable and efficient on continental scales and to quantify their uncertainties. We therefore propose to develop and apply robust, accurate, and scalable dynamical cores ("dycores") for ice sheet modeling on structured and unstructured meshes with adaptive refinements; to evaluate ice sheet models using new tools and data sets for verification and validation (V&V) and uncertainty quantification (UQ); and to integrate these models and tools in the Community Ice Sheet Model (CISM) and with coupled Earth system models, including the Accelerated Climate Model for Energy (ACME) and the Community Earth System Model (CESM). We are developing tools and frameworks for V&V, including verification test suites consisting of analytical and manufactured solutions, and we will compile the best available data sets for model validation. These tools will be assembled in a post-processing package that can be used to formally evaluate CISM in standalone runs and as a CESM component. PISCEES will provide a coherent structure for ongoing collaboration among glaciologists, climate modelers, and computational scientists. We will work closely with the SciDAC institutes (FASTMath, QUEST, and SUPER) and the community of model developers.

EERE (CSEG contact: Moet Ashfaq)
Panorama (CESG contact: Ben Mayer)
As we move closer toward the ability to execute exascale calculations and process the ensuing extreme amounts of data produced by both experiments and computations alike, the complexity of managing the compute, data analysis and data management tasks has grown beyond the capabilities of domain scientists. Thus, workflow management systems are required to ensure current and future scientific discoveries.
Impacts of Aerosols and Air-Sea Interaction on Community Earth System Model (CESM) Biases in the Western Pacific Warm Pool Region (contact Mahajan)
The realistic simulation of clouds and precipitation over the Tropical Western Pacific warm pool (WPWP) region remains a challenge in this new era of higher resolution climate models, where air-sea coupling plays a strong role. The region also bears an influx of aerosols from Southeast Asia along with local sources from the Western Pacific islands, which can play an important role in the regional climate. The relationship between aerosols and clouds/precipitation is non-monotonic, because of the simultaneous direct, semi-direct and indirect effects of aerosols on the surface, clouds and precipitation. The microphysical interactions between aerosols and clouds have only recently been incorporated into global climate model (GCM) simulations. It is important to understand these simulated interactions and compare them with observations to improve the representation of climate processes in GCMs and hence improve climate predictions. We are conducting a hierarchical coupled modeling study using a suite of experiments with the Community Earth System Model (CEMS1.0), comparing model output with observations from DOE ARM surface instruments as well as multi-sensor satellite observations. This hierarchy of mechanistic integrations will facilitate the understanding of the interaction between aerosols and the atmospheric column, as well as the interaction between the atmospheric column and the underlying ocean, in determining the tropical climate state. Insights gained from analyzing these integrations can be used to improve model parameterization of aerosol effects, and thus help alleviate model biases associated with clouds and precipitation.
Large-Scale Organization and Scale-Interaction: A Dynamical Pathway toward Understanding, Modeling and Predicting Energy and Water Cycle Extremes (contact: Kate Evans)
Extreme weather events (EWEs) related to variations in the energy and water cycles have important economic and societal consequences. The project is a collaboration between Georgia Tech and DOE's ORNL that addresses the knowledge shortcomings in relation to DOE RGCM research priorities. We will study the following energy and water cycle extremes: winter cold air outbreaks and warm waves, summer heat waves, and droughts and floods. The research will concentrate on revealing the dynamical pathway for the large-scale organization and scale interaction that bridges planetary-scale climate modes (PCMs), large-scale meteorological patterns (LMPs), and EWEs. The initial part of our research will employ atmospheric observational data and focus on (a) objectively characterizing LMPs associated with different classes of EWEs and (b) developing simple and concise atmospheric circulation metrics for identifying such LMPs in gridded datasets. We expect that atmospheric blocking will play a critical role in several EWE classes. Secondly, our project consists of a detailed diagnosis of the physical mechanisms by which (a) the implicated LMPs arise, (b) LMPs enact EWEs and (c) natural modes of climate variability (i.e., PCMs) serve to modulate LMPs/EWEs. The diagnostic results will be used to construct a set of dynamical metrics and incorporate them into a formal evaluation process to be used in DOE model development efforts. The third part of our project is the parallel study of EWEs, LMPs and PCMs in simulations of historical and future climate. There is particular interest in studying the benefits gained through enhanced model resolution by examining coupled model simulations conducted at ORNL.
Forwarn (CESG contact: Hoffman)
SUPER: (CESG contact: Patrick Worley)
The Institute for Sustained Performance, Energy, and Resilience (SUPER) project is a broadly-based SciDAC (Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing) Institute with expertise in compilers and other system tools, performance engineering, energy management, and resilience. The goal of the project is to ensure that Department of Energy (DOE) computational scientists can successfully exploit the emerging generation of high performance computing (HPC) systems. These HPC systems are evolving significantly from those in use in the recent past: concurrency is scaling exponentially; accelerators such as graphics processing units (GPUs) are being utilized; and even the memory hierarchy may change with the incorporation of a new generation of persistent devices (e.g., phase change memory). The goal is being met by providing application scientists with strategies and tools to productively maximize performance, conserve energy, and attain resilience.
EPSi (CESG contact: Patrick Worley)
The EPSI SciDAC (Sustained Performance, Energy, and Resilience ) Science Application Partnership project is developing advanced simulation software, utilizing extreme parallelism and based upon a first-principles kinetic approach, to address the challenges associated with understanding the edge region of magnetically confined plasmas. The plasma edge presents a set of multi-physics, multi-scale problems involving a separatrix and complex 3D magnetic geometry. Perhaps the greatest computational challenge is the lack of scale separation - temporal scales for drift waves, Alfvén waves, and ELM dynamics, for example, have strong overlap. Collaborations with the SciDAC Institutes ensure reliable and efficient solution of validated models on extreme-scale, high-performance computers.
ACES2BCG (Forrest Hoffman, PI)
The ACES4BGC Project seeks to advance the predictive capabilities of Earth System Models (ESMs) by reducing two of the largest sources of uncertainty, aerosols and biospheric feedbacks, with a highly efficient computational approach. In particular, this project will implement and optimize new computationally efficient tracer advection algorithms for large numbers of tracer species; add important biogeochemical interactions between the atmosphere, land, and ocean models; and apply uncertainty quantification (UQ) techniques to constrain process parameters and evaluate uncertainties in feedbacks between biogeochemical cycles and the climate system. The resulting improvements to the Community Earth System Model (CESM)will deliver new scientific capabilities and significantly improve the representation of biogeochemical interactions at the canopy-to-atmosphere, rivers-to-coastal oceans, and open oceans-to-atmosphere interfaces. ACES4BGC partners modelers with decades of cumulative research experience and a team of computer and computational scientist building scalable solvers and tools, developing advanced UQ methods, and applying technologies for performance optimization through U.S. DOE SciDAC Institutes. The project began April 15, 2012.

File photo of an ATM
Is your ATM passcode really only yours? You may be surprised what a new study has found.
Research firm DataGenetics examined 3.4 million PINs and found that nearly 27 percent of us are actually using the same 20 codes.
"I'm very glad that my PIN is not on here," said Alyia Hollis, a Florida resident who was seeing the DataGenetics findings for the first time. "I keep a PIN that is only for me to know and me to find out."
You may already be able to guess the most common and therefore the worst ATM code: 1234.
What may be more surprising is that this study shows that nearly 11 percent of cardholders actually use that very PIN.
"That's ridiculous," said Hollis. "That's the first guess that someone would try to do is 1234."
Next in line after 1234, according to researchers, is the passcode 1111 and 0000.

I think we need some new terminology. Such as, a new term for "fat cats," although I guess it gets used so much (I'm sure I've used it plenty!) since it doesn't involve cussin'.
However, I have to say, there are two very fat cats, a calico and an orange tabby, here that most certainly do not have millions. They eat food that is bought for them (OK, they're not allowed to go outside, it's true). They refuse to play with any carefully chosen toys but prefer playing in cardboard boxes and empty bags. They do their business in a box filled with sand (not a gold box, mind you). They don't do anything that's very enterprising, and they do not understand why they have gotten such a bad rap!
It appears unlikely these two will get jobs. But they're nice to have around anyway. And no, I don't really think my cats think of much of anything really, so I should really stop sounding like I'm crazy. ;)
OK, for the next term... I'm thinking we have a major problem in this country with supposed meritocracy. Everybody seems to think we have something like that in most of our companies, but it's looking kind of bleak these days, this whole "smartest guys in the room" epidemic.
I don't really have much of an opinion of Carl Icahn overall, I get the impression he has his fans and his detractors, but I was interested to see his blog The Icahn Report, where he's been railing about corporate governance (one of those topics that's dear to my heart, but unfortunately when I've written about those issues for Fool.com, and I try, oh I try, it usually doesn't get too many readers too fired up).
But I have to admit I liked his description (which he said was slightly "facetious") of some of corporate America's CEOs as being "anti-Darwinian," which I think an apt description of what he was trying to describe in was, some affable guy who's probably not really a giant world beater (the types who did really well in college fraternities) gets made CEO, then he surrounds himself with underlings who aren't brighter than him, so then there's never any challenge to his authority, nor any bright ideas, nor any dissent, etc... sounds about right really. I mean, some of these awful situations companies get into, you think, man, a 10 year old probably could have told those people the emperor wasn't wearing any clothes.
I do hope that all the craziness that's going on ends up with us finding ways to improve corporate governance and get past the fact that "meritocracy" seems to be a bit of a sham. I don't like the idea that so much may be, "Let the best BS artist win!" or people feeling just a little too good about themselves (overactive egos).
So here's a term I like... mediocracy. Although, it might be clearer as mediocreacy. Or something. ;) But whatever it is, it ain't good!
Sounds like someone is a little bitter he didn't make it into a fraternity...
Oh, if I had to guess, I'd say TMFLomax is pretty darn psyched to have NOT been a frat brother. :)
shucks, never did feel the need to pay to hang out with my friends, but to each his own.
Oops, ha. No offense about fraternities... come to think of it I think Icahn was talking about the type of guy at the fraternity who somehow always seemed to be sitting around doing nothing but was really friendly or something? LOL... you know... *that* guy. I guess regardless of fraternities or what have you in college there were always those sort of people around, lol.
Ha, TMFSinchiruna, I am indeed psyched I wasn't a frat brother. That would have been downright weird. ;)

I have an AIO 926 printer that I am using with Windows XP that will not print. I have uninstalled the printer and reinstalled it and my documents simply sit in the print queue. I have tried updating the drivers but honestly I am not sure I am even updating the right ones.
First run Delete Print Jobs to remove any stuck print jobs in the queue.
Disconnect the printer.
Download and run the patch(printer cleanup utility) until it prompts you to restart your computer.
Restart your computer.
You can then install the printer using the printer disk or download the drivers from Dell's website. Install the drivers. You'll get a message, the printer is not connected. Connect the printer at this time(powered on)
Links to the patch/drivers can be found at...

What you suggest here actually works (I've just tested it). However, what it does is it makes Ctrl to behave the way CapsLock should behave and turns CapsLock into AltGr (strange...). That's not how my keyboard acts on other OS'. I really think there should be a way to differentiate between CapsLock and Shift. I'm sure that there will also be other keyboards that need that in the future. thanks!

Former Olympian Has Inspirational Message for SJU Students
Three-time Olympian Devon Harris encouraged St. John's students to courageously follow their dreams when he visited the Queens campus on March 31 as part of the University's Caribbean Writers Series.
Close to 150 students gathered at the D'Angelo Center to hear the former bobsledder's inspirational message. Harris was a member of the first Jamaican bobsled team that took part in the 1988 Winter Olympic Games in Calgary, Canada, and whose experiences inspired the 1993 Disney film, Cool Runnings.
After participating in the Olympic Games in Albertville, France, and Nagano, Japan, Harris became an author and motivational speaker. He has toured the world hoping to encourage and inspire young people with his improbable success story. He also founded the Keep on Pushing Foundation, a NY-based nonprofit whose goal is to provide practical solutions to challenges faced by disadvantaged children.
Introducing Harris, Robert Mangione, Ed.D., R.Ph., provost of St. John's University, observed that the Olympian's story of perseverance, dedication, and courage offers inspiration to students, many of whom must overcome staggering odds in their daily lives. Kathryn Hutchinson, Ph.D., vice president, Division of Student Affairs, applauded the many University departments and student organizations that came together to make the event possible.
Harris said people often wait too long to pursue their dreams, thinking everything needs to be in perfect alignment first. "They wait because there is a 'T' that isn't crossed. We didn't wait," he said of the team. "We developed our skills until we got better and better." During their initial training in Jamaica, the team improvised using makeshift materials. They didn't see their first real bobsled until they arrived in Lake Placid, NY, for more intensive training.
Drawing upon many years of athletic training, the teammates readied themselves in under four months for their first Olympic Games. Though they crashed during one of their four runs, they earned the seventh fastest start time in Calgary that year. They returned to Jamaica as national heroes.
Harris admitted he was initially fearful about embarking on his celebrated journey, but living in a ghetto as a child, he desperately wanted to escape. He joined the army, where he was recruited for the national bobsled team. "There's no such thing as a person without fear. It's how we respond to that fear that determines how much we succeed. When you face your fear, you win."

The Old Deluder Satan Law was an experiment in musical collaboration. A band filled with people who never met. An exploration in the wonder that can happen when great minds collaborate.
Lyrics, handclaps, trumpet, piano, xylophone, beats, tambourine, talking, laughs, spoken word, drums, congas, cowbell, guitar, slide guitar, bass, cello, violin, flute, ocarina, foot stomps, the sound of smashing bottles, traffic noise, jingle bells, banjo, and on and on. Participants sent us bits of music. Others added, edited, cut, sampled and otherwise used those sounds to make complete songs. In this way, songwriting, recording and editing were all completed in the hands of the crowd.
The finished product is an interesting take on Americana.
Below are the final tracks for the project.

Our Program is Based on the Following:
We Don't Believe In a Fear-Based Model of Recovery
Many traditional programs – from psychotherapy to 12-step programs are often based on fear. This means that you must be hyper vigilant about staying away from your "triggers" (certain people, places or things) that will lead you back to your addictions or compulsions. While this approach can be effective for some people, through time, many of those fortunate few find themselves asking, "Is this as good as it gets?"
Worse, it leaves the less unfortunate in a "relapse" cycle of pain and desperation. When your life is only about "symptom management", you still have the "hole in the soul". Our approach is about the "carrot" rather than the "stick". When you are recovered (mind, body, soul, spirit), you are able to access your peace, passion and meaning for life. When your deep desires are being met, it is amazing how your cravings and compulsions fall away.

Mazda cuts fleet costs with SKYACTIV technology
Compiling company car choice lists around low emission, fuel-sipping models is an agenda-topping issue for fleet decision-makers as they strive to cut costs, which is why Mazda, with its SKYACTIV technology model range, initially introduced on the Mazda CX-5, followed by the fleet best-selling Mazda6 and this year on the Mazda3, continues to secure an increasing share of the corporate market. The benefits of SKYACTIV technology are many and varied, but the core attributes are low CO2 emissions delivering cash-saving benefit-in-kind tax opportunities to company car drivers and first class fuel economy. Furthermore, the SKYACTIV technology benefits extend to also include improved aerodynamics, vehicle weight reduction, chassis developments and new manual and automatic transmissions. That complete package has combined to deliver year-on-year fleet sales growth for Mazda in 2013/14 of 80 per cent as an increasing number of fleet managers and company car drivers turn to the brand. Chris Stableford, Mazda's National Fleet Sales Manager, speaking at the recent annual Fleet Show at Silverstone: "Fleet operators and company car drivers alike are looking to save money and SKYACTIV technology in the Mazda3, Mazda6 and Mazda CX-5 enables them to do just that." Both the Mazda3 and Mazda6 ranges feature the 2.2-litre SKYACTIV-D 150ps engine, which is Euro6 emission compliant and returns an unbeatable combination of performance and economy from the available power of up to 72.4mpg (Combined) with emissions from just 104g/km*. As all motoring taxes are linked to a model's CO2 emissions it means that company car benefit-in-kind tax on the Mazda3 model is from just £44 a month for a basic rate taxpayer, while on the Mazda6 it is from £59 a month. Turning to the Mazda CX-5 and powered by the same 2.2-litre 150ps diesel engine mated to 2WD it returns up to 61.4mpg and emissions from 119g/km, which outclasses models from rival marques. Benefit-in-kind tax is from £71 a month. West Midlands-based contract hire and leasing company Fleet Hire operates almost 7,000 vehicles and relationship director Joe Bryan says customer demand for Mazda models was rising. He said: "Fleet demand is increasing and Mazda is finding its way onto more company car choice lists because of its introduction of SKYACTIV technology and the twin benefits available of excellent MPG and low benefit-in-kind tax bills." Bryan tested the Mazda CX-5 diesel as a possible replacement for his own company car, a BMW 320d, at the Fleet Show and said: "Last year I had a Mazda6 SKYACTIV on long-term demonstration for four months and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. "But the Mazda CX-5 better suits my current requirements. It handled very well, was very comfortable and has plenty of power. A benefit-in-kind tax bill from £71 a month for the Mazda CX-5 is very attractive and the MPG is very good beating the return I am getting from my current car despite being a bigger and heavier vehicle," concluded Bryan.

Community Footprints Recognized With Points of Light "Corporate Engagement Award of Excellence"
Jun 21, 2013, 11:30 ET
CHEVY CHASE, Md., June 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- At a ceremony today at the Points of Light annual conference on Volunteering and Service, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. was honored with the 2013 Corporate Engagement Award of Excellence for its outstanding employee volunteer program, Community Footprints. Joining fellow honoree, HP, The Ritz-Carlton received the award in recognition of Community Footprints unique design and exceptional results which are engaging and inspiring volunteers and improving the communities where Ritz-Carlton hotels, clubs and residences are located.
The Corporate Engagement Award of Excellence is determined by an independent panel of judges whom evaluated nominees this year, the 20th anniversary of the award, on a new set of criteria: a clear plan, a method of measuring accomplishments, a solid design, strong leadership, community collaboration, a system to engage employees and an openness to learn from what worked and what didn't.
"These leaders in employee volunteerism show the possibilities for engaging the workforce in improving communities," said Michelle Nunn, Points of Light's CEO. "We celebrate companies that incorporate their employee volunteer programs into the way they do business, with the ultimate goal of making social progress."
The Ritz-Carlton Community Footprints program applies its guiding principles – engage, contribute and inspire – to improve the lives of children, protect the environment and help alleviate hunger and poverty. The holistic program is embedded in The Ritz-Carlton service culture, encouraging employees – referred to as Ladies and Gentlemen – to use their skills and talents to support their communities.
"Community Footprints provides an outstanding platform to inspire our employees worldwide to help address issues in their own community through skills-based volunteering," says Herve Humler, president and chief operations officer. "I am very proud of the positive impact our Ladies and Gentlemen are making."
One example of the Community Footprints skills-based volunteering approach is the Succeed Through Service program through which all 81 hotels, as well as The Ritz-Carlton residences and destination clubs, are partnering with local schools and youth organizations. Working closely with children facing economic, social or personal challenges, over the past four years The Ritz-Carlton has supported over 12,000 young students around the world. Many of the children who participate in Succeed Through Service don't have access to positive role models and don't feel connected to their communities. "We are committed to enhancing the lives, well-being and career prospects for young people in communities in which we operate and Succeed Through Service enables us to deliver on that promise," says Sue Stephenson, vice president, community footprints. "As the name suggests, Succeed Through Service is all about helping young people thrive and inspiring them do their best."
The multi-faceted Community Footprints strategy is integrated into The Ritz-Carlton Service Values; embedded into the company's business planning process; and cascaded to all hotels, clubs and residences worldwide to ensure the program's sustainability and maximize positive impact. This long-term philosophy has served The Ritz-Carlton well since 1983, when the first mission statement was inked, vowing that all Ritz-Carlton properties would be "positive, supportive members of their communities and sensitive to the environment."

text: Electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2)—a key component of artificial photosynthesis—has largely been stymied by the impractically high overpotentials necessary to drive the process. Here, we report an electrocatalytic system that reduces CO2 to carbon monoxide (CO) at overpotentials below 0.2 volts (V). The system relies on an ionic liquid electrolyte to lower the energy of the (CO2)– intermediate, most likely by complexation, and thereby lower the initial reduction barrier. Then the silver cathode catalyzes formation of the final products. Formation of gaseous CO is first observed at an applied voltage of 1.5 V, just slightly above the minimum (i.e., equilibrium) voltage of 1.33 V. The system continued producing CO for at least 7 hours at Faradaic efficiencies over 96%.

Here are two projects from the book Radio and Television Sound Effects, written in the early 1950's by Robert B. Turnbull. The book is long since out of print, and, in fact, my local library no longer has a copy. The book included construction articles for many devices used in making sound effects. Two of the most interesting were the "Boing Box" and the "Twang Box ", which are presented here, word for word, as they were in the original book.
The device is similar in sound to the TWANG BOX, but its construction and operation are different. The boing box gives the comedy sound "Boooooiiiiinnnnnnnnggggggg!"
The chief components of the boing box are the resonating body, steel wire, and flexible neck.
Construct the box to the dimensions given using well-seasoned 1/2-in. (12.7 mm) wood, except the face which should be made of 1/4-in. (6.35 mm) three-ply. The box should be accurately cut and fitted, and fastened together with countersunk flat-head screws.
Cut a 3-in. (76 mm) square hole in the top surface of the box. The upright screw eye (bridge) should be about 2 1/2 or 3 in. (63-76 mm) long and solidly screwed into the top about an inch from the sounding hole.
The 30-in. (762 mm) flexible neck should be made of 3/16 in. (4.76 mm) plywood, 2 in. (50 mm) wide. or of the same dimension flexible metal. Securely bolt one end of the neck to the sounding box.
At the other end of the neck bolt a 2-in. (50 mm) right-angle bracket. Pass an eye bolt through the projecting part of the angle iron, and secure at the outside with a lock washer and wing nut.
The wire should be 10-gauge .024-in. (.6 mm) diameter tinned music wire. The Johnson Steel and Wire Company manufactures a satisfactory wire in 25-ft. lengths that sells for thirty cents which may be obtained in most hardware stores. Attach the wire to the screw eye on the side of the box, run up over the top edge of the box, through the upright screw eye, and fasten to the eye bolt. Tighten the wing nut until the tension on the wire definitely bows the neck of the instrument.
To get the "boing", pluck the tautened wire and shake the box vigorously so the neck vibrates. A little practice will show how tight to draw the wire and how rapidly to vibrate the box.
This is the device that makes the comedy sound, "Twaaaannngggg."
Build a wooden box to the dimensions given. At one end insert a 1/2 to 3/4 -inch (12-19 mm) piece of pipe and anchor it firmly to the sides of the box. At the other end use a piece of 1-in. (25 mm) wooden dowel rod. Fasten a wooden handle to the rod as shown in the drawing. This rod must be able to rotate freely. At the end of the box the farthest distance from the rod and handle, attach a piece of 10-guage 0.024-in. (.06 mm) diameter tinned music wire so that it is anchored slightly below the metal rod that runs across the box. Run the wire to the 1-in. rod (with handle) and wrap it a couple of turns around the rod, then fasten that end of the wire securely to the dowel rod.
To use, pull the handle in the direction of the heavy arrow just enough to take up the slack in the wire. With the free hand pluck the wire, then instantly jerk the handle back and forth so as to alternately release and tighten the tension on the wire.
A little practice will show just how much tension on the wire and how much pull on the handle will give the desired effect. The boing box gives a similar effect except that usually the tone of the sound is higher and the instrument can be worked faster.
The top of the twang box is open, there being no cover on it.

the type of girl some half-angel creatures / nerds / dorks / sickos / metalheads would kill to find. She is best described as a complete psychopath, has more than five piercings and/or tattoos, often has a take-charge attitude (or a defensive, submissive one) and more than one personality disorder, several attempted suicides, a fetish for knives and other edged weapons and a criminal record longer than one's forearm (assault and/or possession among the charges). They also (usually) know how to shoot a gun better than most men. Although a woman like this is usually avoided and reffered to as "evil bitch", the difference between a Demon girl and an Evil bitch is that the demon girl actually has a soft, emotional and loyal center beneath her extremely defensive/offensive exterior which she only shows to The One or whatever she considers the next best thing after having an ACTUAL rough life.
If a guy finds a Demon Girl, it is advised that he either run away or get ready for a relationship comparable to pulling a bus across London bridge with your teeth. And IF he pulls through, he'll most likely end up with a woman worth marrying...either that or on the five o'clock news as the latest murder victim. Either way...it's a helluva gamble.
Off to find a Demon girl I go!

THAT WILL LEAVE A MARK: Fear the Lord
Genesis 12
by Art Stansberry
That Will Leave A Mark
We are starting a brand new sermon series for this new year centered on leaving a legacy for the next generation. This series will beg the question, "What sort of Legacy will we leave behind for your children or grandchildren?" In this study we will dissect the life of Abraham and see how he was able to impact those around him and leave his mark in this world. This Sunday we will discover that our legacy begins with the Fear of the Lord, and how simple obedience can change the course of one's life, one's family, and even the surrounding community. Join us this Sunday as we set out to leave a mark in this world.

You must die(give up) the old self(man) for in Christ we are a new creation.

Jesus said to give it all up and follow Him. Jesus also said you can not serve 2 masters. Either you serve God or you serve your flesh(sin).

There is a cost to follow Jesus, are you willing for it to cost you your homosexuality, or fornication, or (fill in the blank SIN). Or are you going to stay in your homosexuality or whatever sin.?

Why do people think Christians should give up all theirs sins except for homosexuality?

Do people go around calling themselves I'm a adulterous Christian, I'm a fornicating Christian, I'm a murderer Christian?
That is a lie straight from Satan. God say they are sin. We can not call right what God has called wrong.
Also blocking doesn't prevent anyone from replying.
Yeah! How DARE they be born with the genetics that was passed down to them!? And how DARE they CHOOSE to be gay and put down by all religions and society!?
FYI, the supporters of homosexuality have in the science world has given up on the idea that there is a homosexual gene. The Human Genome Project was completed, and it wasn't there. They came up with an alternative theory for "born gay", but that one is also undermined by the empirical data.
Having unwholesome desires does not prove one is not a Christian. But to surrender to living a homosexual lifestyle is totally incompatible with the Christian walk.
If you read on this website extensively you would see that many heterosexual people choose to succumb to bisexuality at some moment of being tempted by another. People can choose to give in to or resist sexual urges. For example, I have experienced masochistic arousal earlier in my life. I believed that it was totally unhealthy and I chose to reject it. It seems to have gone away. Your whole premise that there is no such thing as a homosexual lifestyle because of the assertion you made makes no logical sense to me anyway. Jesus said that the whole Bible was the inspired word of God. Just one of the passages in which He said that was Luke 24:25. This obviously means the Bible's passages on homosexuality are true. I have seen from your EP posts that you have been experiencing great difficulty in your life. I have been there. I urge you to spend a lot of time seeking God in prayer and spend a lot of time in the Bible.
I repeat, the exercise of will can influence sexual feelings. Many people know this from experience. As for shutting me up, I haven't been going after you. You initiated this exchange. I hope you find the peace you desire.
It's a complex situation. But choices are very important. My cousin felt at one point in her life that was beginning to be somewhat attracted to women as well as men. She was strongly persuaded that was wrong. She made a conscious decision to close the door to that, and it ended.
Being gay is against the bible..so is lying, so is cheating, so is lust and a bunch of other things...sin is sin and NO ONE is perfect so dont let anyone judge you because its not their place only God can but to answer your question you can be a Christian who is BATTLING homosexuality but you can't ride the fence...either you choose to serve God or not
A Christian can have desires that are contradictory to God's ideal for behavior -- it's called sin and it is something ALL Christians struggle against at some time or other in one form or another.
A Christian can be gay as in they are attracted to the same sex but acting upon this physically or dwelling on it mentally would be sin. So abstinance is the only solution to being gay and a Christian x
Well, you can be happy, which is what 'gay' means. But you may not entertain homosexual lust or activities.

And I also just want to say, no one is born homosexual, though many boys these days are so toxified and malnourished that they cant achieve full manhood and therefore have a lot of female-ish physical attributes and hormones, but still no sex, not even good old biologically supported heterosexual sex, is important enough to offend THE LORD over and indulging in any of it is a choice.

All sex is a choice, desires may come for this or that but we can rebuke them if they are not appropriate. No more cop out, if a man is unable to resist having sex with a man then what next? A man and a goat? A man and an unwilling woman? a man and a baby? "They just cant help it, they were born that way...." Bull, lets get real, we all choose what what we will entertain and act on and we are accountable for it as well.

I for one am not here to be friends with the world, I am here to repeat GODs word. Homosexuality is filthy evil, so at least start by admitting what the Bible really says, that way at least you know which way is up for Heavens sake. Then repent. GOD dont want you to be damned, GOD dont want you to overdose on drugs either but HE allows you the free choice to do either to yourself, so be wise.
Before i preach Bible... replace "Gay" with "a Sinner" and let's ask the question again!

"Can a Christian be a Sinner or does it go against everything the Bible says"

there are three ERA's in the bible after paradise was locked up.

The Era of man's morality - pre-flood there was no law man did what he wanted - God has it as a lesson to those who do not want law!

The Era of Law - After the flood the legend grew out of the family of Noah about the judgement of the flood. this is the birth of man made religions because people wanted laws to govern the morality in fear of God's Judgement

(Here we found Moses who'm God gave the laws also the one pertaining to being gay) - God gave us this Era to show us that Man cannot follow laws whether these are man made or Godly inspired (do not believe man - man cannot save you)

The Era of salvation - Jesus comes to be the judge of ever man and to be the perfect sacrifice for EVERYONE's sin. and He is th only Judge.

If any religion judges you to hell for committing sin then they are not following God's Bible! and they miss the ENTIRE plot! But if you cannot live your life without this because it is a part of you like i know it is! then you should leave relationships alone! refrain from doing sin! you cannot ignore the sin and act on your own heart!

I do tell you this! God wants you to turn from your sin the way he wants me to turn from mine!

chemically you are attracted to the same sex - chemically i am inclined to want to blow my brains out!

I'm a manic depressive with suicidal thoughts and visions, also chemical!

Do you think it's ok for me to end my own life?

I don't think Jesus would be too pleased but He will still be the only one who can judge me for that!

God does not expect you to be perfect. Only to try to be!

If your not willing to try then you like me will have to explain yourself come judgement day! like i will also have to for my many transgressions
Some of the answers to this question makes me prouder and prouder to be an atheist.
There are different versions of Christianity so i dont know to be honest.
sc<x>ripture says no. Christians say yes or no depending on what the holy spirit tells them personally. Earlier today I got told off by a Christian. They said "That's your problem, you think." Which I think underlines what kind of people we're dealing with and the kind of people that wrote the bible. "Stop thinking and be like a sheep" could possibly be a quote from the bible.
I couldn't tell you what the Bible says about being gay except what I've heard from some religious leaders who believe there is no such thing as being gay and if someone claims to be gay it can be cured. So from that basis I would say no, you can't call yourself a Christian and claim to be gay at the same time. Then again I think anyone who has known people who are gay and asked them if they were born gay, they would say yes. So I ask why not be Christian and be gay? I doubt anyone would ask me if I was born with an attraction to the opposite sex if I wanted to become a Christian so what right does anyone have to ask someone who is gay. In other words, what the hell does your sexual preference have to do with believing in God? As far as I'm concerned I don't think anyone should be excluded when it comes to choosing whatever they believe will give them a better understanding of faith.
The Bible only mentions homosexuality around 14 times. There is nothing in the Bible that says being gay is wrong. You may quote Leviticus whatever 'Homosexuality was an abomination' or what ever but in the context abomination means 'unpracticed'. The entire chapter is a list of things that were unpracticed or "abominations" such as touching shellfish or having any contact with a woman on her menstrual cycle.

So yes you can be gay and Christian.
abomination means worthy of or causing disgust or hatred and no synonyms of unpracticed.
Thank you Hebrews, what a lot of cowardly believers here.
The bible also says that when a woman has her period she should be exiled in a far away hut until it over. Times have changed. You can be " christian" and all sorts of things.
The bible is against the practice. http://m.wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/102010448?q=gay+and+lesbian&p=par

The Islanders travel to Buffalo in their season finale to take on the last place Sabres.
The New York Islanders square off with the Buffalo Sabres in a battle of last place teams Saturday night at the Nassau Coliseum as the Islanders try to rebound from their latest home ice defeat, 4 to 3 to the San Jose Sharks. The Islanders own the worst record on home ice this year, a far cry from the days of "Fort Neverlose." (Photo credit: paul.hadsall/flickr)
Standing in their way are the Buffalo Sabres whose 46 points (19-39-8 record) have it comfortably "ahead" of the 29th place Edmonton Oilers in the race for worst record overall in the NHL and coveted top position in June's draft lottery.
Vincent Lecavalier's scoring drought reached 13 games heading into Tuesday's game against Buffalo.
Snapping it in the final 15 seconds of the game not only got the monkey off his back but proved to be the game-winner. The Flyers snapped a two-game skid in the process, beating the Sabres 4-3.
It was the 10th goal on the season for Lecavalier, who has battled consistently staying healthy. Prior to the back injury, Lecavalier had been consistently one of the Flyers' best offensive players.

The New York Islanders returned home after a disappointing road trip, losing back-to-back games to the Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators. But their losing ways would follow them back home as they fell 4-3 to the Buffalo Sabres after being defeated in the shootout.
The first period opened with the Isles controlling the play for the entire period. Although both teams had plenty of shots, the Isles led the way with a 16-11 advantage. Evgeni Nabokov had to make some key saves, but the fore-check that the Isles put on in the offensive zone eventually led to a goal from Frans Nielsen.
The Danish center-man toe dragged the puck in the high slot and let go of a wicked wrister that beat Ryan Miller just over his glove and inside the far post. The assists went to Pierre-Marc Bouchard, his first as an Islanders forward, and Josh Bailey.
The Blackhawks prepare to face an unfamiliar Eastern Conference opponent. The last time the Hawks faced the Buffalo Sabres was back in 2012. This will be the first of two meetings this season between these two clubs.
The Buffalo Sabres are winless to this point with a 0-4-1 record which, could make them a very dangerous team if the Hawks overlook them or the dislike level is too low considering they have not faced each other much.
The Sabres come into this tilt with scoring problems as they are just averaging one goal a game. If that continues then the Blackhawks should be in good shape. You can never discount the Sabres however with Ryan Miller in net for Buffalo. Look for Co...
There is only one way to kill the momentum of a four-game winning streak and that is to follow it up with a four-game losing streak.
The Flyers continued on their skid, dropping their fourth straight game. They lost to Buffalo, 1-0, Saturday afternoon, pushing them closer to mathematical elimination from the post season.
In the last four games, the Flyers were out-scored 12-3. The power play had also fizzled, going 0-for-2 on the night to continue their skid to 0-for-15.
(Pictured: Jhonas Enroth keeps the puck out in the 2nd period. AP Photo/Gary Wiepert)
The Buffalo Sabres will open their 2013 campaign against the Philadelphia Flyers, who come to town after a 3-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Can the Flyers spoil the Sabres' party like the Penguins did to theirs?

The Islanders fell by a score of 4 – 1 to the Vancouver Canucks at Rodgers Arena. Despite patches of outplaying their opponents, the Islanders were simply outmatched by last season's Western Conference champions.
Once again, the Islanders let up a goal on the first shot against them, courtesy of Aaron Rome (3 points), just two minutes in to the game. The rest of the first period was a gutty effort by the Islanders, who killed off a penalty to finish the frame, which saw no other goals in the period.

CIA in Italy's sights
Page Tools
An italian judge has ordered the arrest of 13 alleged American CIA agents on charges of kidnapping a terrorism suspect in Milan and secretly flying him to Egypt without permission from Italian authorities, prosecutors in Milan said on Friday.
The arrest warrants, issued by Judge Chiara Nobile, came nearly 21/2 years after the disappearance of Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr, who was forced into a white van on February 17, 2003, while walking down a Milan street near the Islamic centre where he preached, a statement released by prosecutors said.
Italian investigators tracked down the identities of the US operatives who seized Mr Nasr by analysing the signals of mobile phones operating in the area when he disappeared, the statement said.
They later traced the movements of the plane that carried him from the shared US-Italian Aviano Air Base in Italy, to the US Ramstein Air Base in Germany and on to Cairo.
The case reveals a stunning rift between two close allies on a counter-terrorism operation, and shines a spotlight on the controversial American practice of "extraordinary rendition", in which terrorism suspects are snatched by US officials and taken for interrogation or detention to third countries where torture is routine, beyond the reach of Western legal protection.
Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera published on its website the name of a man it said was the CIA station chief in Milan and who it said is at the centre of the legal action.
The newspaper said Italian investigators had credit card information linked to the operatives, who had incurred $US144,984 ($A188,334) in hotel bills during the operation.
An Italian law enforcement official in Milan involved in the case, but who declined to be named, said he was angry about the US seizure of Mr Nasr because he had been under surveillance for years by his office for suspected terrorist activities.
Mr Nasr is alleged to be an al-Qaeda supporter who fought in Afghanistan and Bosnia. The CIA declined to comment.
Deputy spokesman for the US State Department Adam Ereli said he had no information about the allegations, and called the issue "a matter with the Italian judiciary".
