BELLFLOWER, Calif. — Just think: eight cribs, eight highchairs, eight strollers (or maybe four double-strollers) and far too many dirty diapers to count.
A woman in Southern California gave birth Monday to the second set of octuplets ever delivered alive in the United States.
Doctors described the six boys and two girls as a feisty bunch who made their entrance kicking and crying and seemed to be doing remarkably well, despite arriving nine weeks premature. They ranged in weight from 1 pound, 8 ounces, to 3 pounds, 4 ounces.
"We were fortunate that this patient was extremely strong, very courageous and able to handle these births," said Dr. Karen E. Maples, who is chief of service for obstetrics and gynecology at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center and delivered Baby No. 8.
No pictures of the children were released, and at the mother's request doctors declined to reveal her name, any information about her family or whether she took fertility drugs before becoming pregnant, though outside experts said it is almost certain she did.
The chances of delivering eight babies naturally are "unbelievably rare," said Dr. Richard Paulson, director of the fertility program at the University of Southern California.
The babies have not been named yet, and the staff assigned them letters A through H in the meantime. They were expected to remain hospitalized for several weeks and could face serious developmental problems later on because of their small size.
"They are doing amazingly well at this time," said Dr. Mandhir Gupta, a neonatologist who was part of the team of 46 doctors, nurses and others who took part in the cesarean section delivery. But he added: "I won't be able to comment on chances of survival because we've never had eight babies born at 30 weeks before."
Obstacles ahead
The odds of survival drop off dramatically in multiple births, particularly if there are more than three babies. The risks include breathing and eating difficulties and growth problems because their lungs and other systems are often underdeveloped. They also may have hearing or vision problems and learning disabilities as they mature.
In fact, the risks in multiple births are so high that when a woman is pregnant with more than three babies, doctors routinely recommend "selective reduction," or aborting some of them. But Dr. Harold M. Henry, director of maternal-fetal medicine for the hospital, would not discuss what took place in this case.
"All babies seem to be stable," Maples told NBC's TODAY. "All ofthem are now breathing on their own and are no longer requiring ventilators."
The first four were expected to begin taking milk sometime Tuesday, with the others shortly after that.
"That's the biggest test," Gupta said. "We want to make sure that they start tolerating and digesting the milk."
The mother plans to nurse the babies herself, which are now being fed pumped breast milk, Gupta told TODAY.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
"Right now, we are really encouraging her," Gupta said. "She is going to breast-feed the babies.
A little surprise
The woman and her doctors were actually expecting seven children, not eight. The delivery team was thinking the hard work was over after that seventh baby was removed from the womb, when another physician spotted another little hand, Maples said.
The mother reacted calmly to the news, said Dr. Jalil Riazi, an anesthesiologist. "Her question was, 'Really, an eighth baby? How did we miss that baby?"' he said.
"There are multiple spines and heads and shoulders, with movement of the babies during the ultrasounds," Maples told TODAY. "So, it's not unusual at some times, especially during these high order multiples, that you can miss another baby."
Slideshow: Challenges in parenting Although baby H was a surprise to the delivery room team, doctors said they repeatedly conducted practice sessions in anticipation of the deliveries and were well prepared.
The mother had checked into the hospital in her 23rd week and spent nearly two months working with doctors in preparation for the big day. Mainly she got a lot of bed rest, Maples said, while the medical team repeatedly conducted practice sessions.
Offers roll in
As word of the births spread people began to call with offers of cribs, strollers, baby clothes and other items, said hospital spokeswoman Carmen Gonzalez.
"We're compiling a list of things that people want to donate," she said, adding the mother will review the list and decide what she needs.
The world's first live octuplets were born in 1967 in Mexico City, but all died within 14 hours, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.
The United States' first live octuplets were born in Houston in 1998, three months premature. The tiniest died a week after the birth. The surviving siblings turned 10 in December and were reported to be doing well by their mother.
"It's wonderful watching them be together. They are happy to have each other. They're doing their homework right now," Nkem Chukwu said Monday.

Art + Ararat = Impressive
It's not the highest mountain in the world, or the most beautiful, or most challenging, or…A lot of people wouldn't have a lot to say about the climb of Mount Ararat. But, all mountains – all challenges in life – are relative to the skills we bring to the table, the goals we are looking to achieve, and our personal perspectives and prerogatives.
And, for Art Adams, reaching the summit of Ararat was not a given, was not easy, and was as well earned as any…Seeing him standing on top made me proud.
It wasn't an easy day. Çelit and I awoke to a big lenticular cap on the summit and raging wind and snow at ur high camp. We pushed back our departure by an hour, and finally saddled up to begin the climb at 1:00 AM. While reasonable enough, the wind and snow never relented as we climbed. Scrambling through jumbled rock with intermittent 30-40 mph blasts of wind took it's toll on Art. However, he kept his spirits up and game face on, and Çelit assured me the summit wasn't too far away.
We continued on, and by 8:00 AM, we were moving up the summit snow slopes. And, finally, the weather gave us a break; the lenticular blew off as sun bathed us in light and warmth. Art, proud as ever, stood on the storied summit of Mount Ararat, gazing off into Iran and relishing the accomplishment.
Çelit and I simply looked at him, proud of his accomplishment, and happy to share it with him.
Ararat may not be the highest, the most beautiful, the hardest, or any other myriad of hyperbolic expressions. But, it's a great mountain…and climbing it with great people puts it high in the rankings for me. And, seeing Art standing proudly on the summit made it as impressive as any peak I've seen.

I have read that Wireless will never work on Raspberry RPI3, because there is no driver.
It that true? If yes, I will probably have to reinstall Raspbian. I have no possibilities for ethernet on my raspberry pi rpi3
Just for installation, but not for longer time.
here the information from the net:
Previous message (by thread): Support for Raspberry Pi 3 wifi broadcom driver in FreeBSD
Next message (by thread): Next up on creating armv7 MACHINE_ARCH: pre FCP stage
Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ]
Hi Neeraj,
no, wireless chip of RPi3 is not supported in FreeBSD.
The support depends on the new SD/SDIO stack integration. Once it is
integrated, someone has to write a driver for the chip.
No ETAs on both tasks.

This was vintage Picoult with a bit of a twist, although not in the tale, but in the structure. Picoult always takes on a big controversial issue and extensively examines it, but never taking sides. Her characters are clearly on opposing sides, but sometimes they gain empathy for each other and find in their own stance something that might be questionable, thus maturing in their own understanding. Seeing something from someone else's point of view is something that sadly seems to have gone missing in our world today.
In this case the issue is abortion and the novel begins with a shooting/hostage-taking at an abortion clinic. The author describes the event and then backs up an hour in time every chapter after that, leaving the epilogue to explain a few things, not even all, (which is kind of a cheap trick in this case because the novel is going back in time the reader has no choice but to hang in there, or skip to the end). It's a different sort of structure for Picoult, perhaps she was trying to break out of a formulaic box. At any rate, in this case, I found the reverse timeline made the book drag on because all of the action had taken place at the beginning and the rest was backstory. Interesting, but not very compelling, and I felt that it resulted in too much dwelling on and rehashing of the tragic attack which made the book unnecessarily traumatic. Picoult is known also for a breathtaking twist, but again, in this one the only twist was small and predictable. However, the 'Author's Note' at the end of the book was excellent, where in essay form, she discusses abortion in the US and the wider world. Clearly her research was thorough as usual, but it didn't translate into an amazing story for me this time.

Haha, I wish I had somebody I could harass into playing a specific character. Sounds like it's super useful!
"Really? Nice! uhhhh, you writing with anyone?"
"it's not harassment if you secretly want it! Honest, judge, she was giving me those 'come hither' eyes!"
Nice! Good to have him on board! I'm assuming that Venom - being the leader of the team - knows that it's Blade under the Ronin mask, right? Or has Fury kept that a secret from Venom as well? We'll iron out the specifics of how he joined the team later on - I have a few ideas about that already - but for now, welcome aboard!In any case, I'll put Blade up as the Wildcard Sneak!

May 2, 2013 : By
A North Carolina high school student made national headlines when he was arrested on Monday and faces expulsion for accidentally leaving a shotgun in his pickup truck in the school parking lot.
Liberty University Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr., while traveling in North Carolina, learned of Cole Withrow's story from a local evening news broadcast. The 18-year-old was wearing a "Liberty Football" T-shirt. Falwell followed up with him, discovering his sister was a graduate.
Falwell issued the following statement: "When I reached out to encourage this responsible and impressive young man, I learned that he wanted to go to Liberty University, but couldn't afford it. I told him that we would do whatever he needed so that he can attend Liberty. Anti-gun zealots tried to vilify him for doing the right thing, so Liberty has decided to award him the help he needs to attend a private Christian college. I was really impressed with Cole. He is a humble and meek Christian kid who only wants to do the right thing! We want students like Cole Withrow."

Wullenwewer, Jürgen (1492-1537)
Jürgen Wullenwewer (1492-1537), a Hanseatic statesman, a native of Hamburg, was elected as a member of the council of Lübeck in 1533, and 14 days later as mayor. He strove to re-establish the political supremacy of Lübeck on the Baltic Sea; but after the Danish victory in the Battle of Assens (11 June 1535), when the rule of the democracy in Lübeck collapsed, Wullenwewer resigned in August 1535, but continued to be interested in Nordic politics. The Lutheran superintendent Bonnuns demanded Wollenwewer's expulsion on the ground of his supposed intention of introducing Anabaptism in Lübeck; Wullenwewer was accordingly arrested in November 1535 and consigned to the zealously Catholic Duke Henry the Younger. Under torture Wullenwewer "confessed" that he had had connections with the Anabaptists. How far these "confessions," which are still extant, correspond with reality must be the subject of further investigation. He was sentenced to death and beheaded on 29 September 1537. Wullenwewer's fate has been treated by Kohler in a novel, and by Gotzkow and Heinrich Kruse in dramas.

DYERSVILLE, Iowa (KGAN) - The "Field of Dreams" in Dyersville came alive on Sunday with baseball legends and fans of all ages at the annual "Team of Dreams" day.
Kids got to play catch on the farm field and even see some real life legends like hall of fame athletes Steve Carlton and Wade Boggs.
Other activities included a silent auction for autographed gloves, baseballs, jerseys and movie posters and pictures.
Organizers said much of the 1989 film's success is because of the perfect location.
"If you haven't seen the movie, its an opportunity to see the field for the first time. If you have seen the movie, you kind of understand the magic behind it and playing catch with dad or family members. So there is just something magical about the field. Its hard to explain unless you experience it yourself," said Tyler Daugherty, director of sports and events.

PHP: file uploads 2005-11-04 00:02:54
When using php for file uploads, there are a few prechecks you need to make sure of. This is perhaps the most important step to ensure that the file upload process is fluently fulfilled. To check to make sure that file uploads are enabled, you can (if possible) reference your server's php.ini file. Check to see if the file_upload directive is set to true, meaning its value is 1. If you are running a version of php which is older than 4.0.3 this directive is not present in the php.ini file.
You may also check the upload_max_filesize and other directives to see the limitations of your file uploads. If you're wanting to limit the filesize with this configuration directive, you can use an integer to represent the maximum filesize or you can use shorthand notation. In integer representation, you specify the maximum filesize (in bytes) that the server should accept. In shorthand notation you can use K, M, and G abbreviations which represent Kilobyte, Megabyte, and Gigabyte, respectively. However, remember that these shorthand notations are only available in php versions 5.1.0 and higher. If you have further questions about these commonly used directives you can consult the php.net file upload configuration help, because it is no longer discussed in this tutorial.
If you know a thing or two about the upload system, you can change the upload_tmp_dir directive. This directive allows you change the path that files are temporarily stored in while being uploaded. If you know about this then you can continue to use it; however, if you aren't familiar with what I'm talking about, don't sweat it because we won't talk about it and nor do we need to discuss it to make this tutorial successful.
Note: If you are changing this make sure that the directory is writable.
Now that we've looked at some of the configuration precautions, we'll look at the HTML and PHP that makes this very useful tool possible. If you don't know HTML then don't worry about learning it from this tutorial, because I will only discuss the necessary parts of the <form> tag to make the upload system functional.
Here is my example code for upload.html as I have named my file. It doesn't matter what you name your file, just remember it for linking and what not.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-tr

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>PHP Upload System</title>
<form name="file_uploader" action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="data">

<input type="submit" name="upload" value="Upload File">
Now, you may notice that the enctype parameter of the <form> tag is set to multipart/form-data. This is the necessary setting for this if you wish to enable file uploads in the HTML form. If you do not have the enctype specified, or it is not set to multipart/form-data, then the upload will not work.
Okay, here comes the juicy part of the tutorial, the PHP code to make the upload work.
# Check to see if the file is accessible
if ( !isset($_FILES['data']['name']) || $_FILES['data']['name'] == '' ) {
die('No input file specified. Please go back and select a file to upload.');
} // End check for file being set
$max_filesize = 999999;
$filetype = 'text/plain';
$upload_path = '/ngbbs/';
# Check to see if the filesize is too large
if ($_FILES['data']['size'] > $max_filesize) {
die('Your filesize is too large. Please make your filesize smaller than ' . $max_filesize . ' bytes.');
} // End if filesize is too large
# Check to see if the filetype is correct
if ($_FILES['data']['type'] != $filetype) {
die('Sorry, your file was not of the ' . $filetype . ' mimetype (yours was ' . $_FILES['data']['type'] . ').');
} // End filetype check
# If file has gotten this far, it is successful
$copy_to = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $upload_path . $_FILES['data']['name'];
# Upload the file
$upload = move_uploaded_file($_FILES['data']['tmp_na
me'], $copy_to);
# Check to see if upload was successful
if (!$upload) {
die('Sorry, your file could not be uploaded.');
echo 'Your file contents are below:
' . file_get_contents($copy_to);
Okay, now it's time to explain the pieces of code you see in front of you. The $_FILES (or $HTTP_POST_FILES in long form) superglobal holds the contents of the file that was uploaded just as $_POST (or $HTTP_POST_VARS in long form) and $_GET (or $HTTP_GET_VARS in long form) hold POST and GET variables, respectively. The first key of the array superglobal should be the name of the HTML file field which is being uploaded. In our case, I named the HTML field data so all the calls to $_FILES begin with the data element. Secondly, the other key you are accessing is the information you would like to retrieve about the file.
$_FILES['html_name']['name'] retrieves the file's name on the user's computer
$_FILES['html_name']['size'] retrieves the file's size in bytes
$_FILES['html_name']['type'] retrieves the file's mime type
$_FILES['html_name']['tmp_name'] retrieves the actual file itself
The checks are easy, but the most complicated part of the script is dealing with the upload. The path you are specifying to upload should be a path relative to your server's document root. Make sure that the path you are uploading to is writable, you may want to check CHMOD values.
The move_uploaded_file() function takes two parameters, the original file (being $_FILES['html_name']['tmp_name']) and the path you want to upload it to. This is pretty simple, since the steps are shown in detail in the code itself. This function is only available in versions 4.0.3 and higher. If you are running an older version you may want to use the copy() function instead, which requires identical arguments. The move_uploaded_file() and copy() functions return TRUE if successful and FALSE if unsuccessful. This makes it easy to determine if the file should be retrieved or stored in a database (or however you're managing the uploads) or discarded.

Are we hurting our noggins? Internationally, are there social customs, diseases, pollutants, school policies, parental choices, drugs, diets and philosophies that cause, or are correlated with, decreased intelligence? Here are fourscore-and-a-trio of the mind-mangling menaces. A preponderance of the fearsome factors have undergone scientific scrutiny, with statistics filed in the massive archives of pubmed.gov.
According to IEET readers, what were the most stimulating stories of 2012? This month we're answering that question by posting a countdown of the top 16 articles published this year on our blog (out of more than 600 in all), based on how many total hits each one received.
The following piece was first published here on Jan 9, 2012 and is the #7 most viewed of the year.
prenatal - damaged before you're delivered
Cousin Marriages – "Consanguineous" marriages between cousins or relatives more than triples the rate of mental retardation. One study shows an average IQ drop of 7 points; another reveals a loss of 11.2 points.
Avoiding PreNatal Diagnosis - Fetal Screening can determine if fetuses have birth defects or genetic diseases that cause cognitive damage. Recommended for older parents and those carrying genes of genetic disorders.
Prenatal Iodine Deficiency – The World Health Organization says iodine deficiency is the "single greatest preventable cause of mental retardation." Average deduction is 10-17 IQ points.
Prenatal Folic Acid Deficiency - Infants with neural tube defects suffer a loss of 15 IQ points.
Prenatal Choline Deficiency – Can wreck spatial memory and hippocampal plasticity in adulthood.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (Heavy Alcohol Exposure) - Children afflicted with fetal alcohol syndrome have an average IQ of 75.
Moderate Prenatal Alcohol Exposure - Gestating women who imbibe two alcoholic drinks per day hamper their child's IQ with a 7-point loss.
Pesticide Exposure - Prenatal (and postnatal) exposure to organophosphate pesticides can cause a deficit of 7.0 IQ points.
Prenatal Cigarette Exposure - Loss of IQ is reported as 3.3, 6.2, and 15 points in various studies.
Prenatal Hydrocarbons (Smog) Exposure - Two studies showed IQ losses of 4.31 and 3.8 points.
Prenatal Cocaine Exposure - Boys exposed to cocaine had lower IQs at 4, 6, and 9 years of age.
Prenatal Methamphetamine Exposure – Meth exposure leads to weakened verbal memory, and damage to visual motor integration, attention, and long-term spatial memory.
Embryonic Malnutrition - Multiple infants sharing a womb are at risk of suboptimal nutrition. Lighter twins have verbal IQ that's 7.5 points lower than heavier twins.
Maternal Stress – Children exposed to high cortisol levels in the womb, caused by maternal stress, suffer an average verbal IQ loss of 3.83 points.
Prenatal Valproate Exposure - Embryos exposed to Valproate have IQ scores up to 9 points lower than children exposed to other anti-epileptic medications.
Prenatal Excess Mercury Exposure - Reports vary, but one study concluded that excessive prenatal intake of mercury in fish costs children 1.5 points in IQ.
Prenatal Radiation Exposure –Embryos exposed to radiation had more speech-language disorders, emotional disorders, and borderline IQ.
Premature Birth - Babies delivered before 40 weeks have smaller heads and an IQ 4.9 points lower than infants delivered after 40+ weeks.
Breech Birth - Males born via breech birth have a 7-point lower IQ than boys who were born in cephalic presentation.
early years – not breastfed? tragic, but there are factors more horrible
Malaria - The brain insult of cerebral malaria leaves victims with brain impairment in planning, decision-making, self-awareness, and social sensitivity.
Diarrhea – Diarrheal diseases in the first five years can cause detrimental brain development and lower IQ.
Tuberculosis - Tuberculosis Meningitis potentially causes brain damage. TB's toll on the immune system also retards children's cognitive development.

Psychosocial and Cognitive Stimulation – Children with the lowest cognitive stimulation have IQs 12 points lower than children with the highest.
Didn't Go To Preschool? - A study in India demonstrates that children aged 4-6 advanced 10.2 IQ points if they were placed in preschool education programs.
National Poverty – In high-income countries only 3-5 children per 1,000 have severe intellectual disability, in developing nations the rate can be 22 per 1,000.
school years - not all educations are equals, and teens take cognitive risks
Lack of Exercise – Ten-year-olds who are out-of-shape perform worse on cognitive tests then their physically-fit peers. The hippocampus and dentate gyrus are smaller.
Teen Obesity – Studies correlate low IQ and teen obesity; average IQ of subjects was about 85.
Bulimia – Bulimia nervosa can negatively affect brain regions involved in the reward circuitry.
Anorexia – Anorexia nervosa may shrink the afflicted person's brain matter.
Junk Food – Young children fed junk food develop IQs up to five points lower than healthy eaters, because they consume insufficient vitamins and minerals for optimal brain growth.
Artificial Additives - In Pakistani, students who ate a meal before IQ testing that did not contain artificial flavors, preservatives and colors, had IQ test scores 14 percent higher than individuals who consumed food with additives.
Big Classrooms – Large classrooms disadvantage children. Small classrooms are superior. Deduct two IQ points per year.
School Drop Outs - Students with lesser amounts of schooling lost an average of 2-3 IQ points per year missed.
Bad Teachers - The negative impact is approximately two IQ points per year.
Concussions - 300,000 concussions occur annually in the USA in teen football programs. Loss of IQ can occur after a single concussion.
Alcohol - Children and teenagers who drink alcohol expose their still-developing cognition to possible long-term mental impairment.
Marijuana - Kids who use marijuana before the age of 16 can develop problems in making decisions, cognitive flexibility, and recalling details.
Smoking – Regular smoking during early adulthood is associated with cognitive impairments.
Second-Hand Tobacco Smoke Exposure - 6-16 year olds exposed to second-hand tobacco smoke can suffer a decrease of 5.0 points in IQ reading scores.
Watching Online Violence - When kids play a variety of violent video games the amygdala is aroused, leading to aggressive, impulsive behavior.
adults – finally you're grown up… now your brain starts to decline…
Adult Obesity – Obesity causes a decline in the brain's cognitive abilities, particularly in learning and memory.
Adult Marijuana Use - Evidence suggests impaired neurological functioning in long-term or heavy cannabis users, including damage to encoding, storage, manipulation, and retrieval.
Khat – The East Africa drug impairs cognitive flexibility and updating of information in working memory.
Head Injury - Adults who incur whiplash with head impact in a car accident had a 14-point IQ loss after 20 weeks.
Summer Stupor - Lazy, sunbathing vacations can wither IQ by 20 points. Inactivity and dehydration reduce oxygen to the brain, dim neurons, and shrink frontal lobes. Situation reverses when weather changes and work resumes.
Chronic traumatic stress – Elevated levels of cortisol are associated with cognitive decrements, with deleterious effects on verbal, learning, delayed recall and visual-spatial abilities.
Obsessively Checking Electronic Messages – Employees who obsessively check their phone calls, emails and text messages throughout the day suffer an IQ drop of 10 points.
Adult Smoking – Heavy cigarette smoking is associated with earlier onset of Alzheimer's disease by 2-3 years.
Cold Weather - Researchers at California School of Professional Psychology claim that "persons in colder climates tend to have higher IQs." The theory correlates with data from the 50 United States.
Religious Fundamentalism – A 2010 survey reported that adults who identified themselves as "very religious" had an average 97.14 IQ, while those self-described as "not at all religious" had an average IQ of 103.09.
Political Conservatism – A survey reports that people who categorize themselves as "very conservative" had average IQ of 95 during teen years. People self-described as "very liberal" have an IQ of 106.
Amnesia - Multiple types of this disorder destroy memory functions. Generally it is related to bilateral hippocampal pathology.
Hypoxia - Depriving the body - and subsequently the brain - of oxygen. Brain regions that are asphyxiated the most suffer the greatest debilitation. Often caused by shock, stroke, and heart attacks.
Chemotherapy - The cancer treatment can cause temporary attention weakness, short-term memory loss, and other debilitations to cognition. Nickname for the side effect is "chemobrain."
Feeling sub-optimal yet? Personally, I was the "small twin" in family of nine, my elementary classrooms had 45-50 students, I wasn't breastfed, and I probably had worms. Nobody can completely escape mental harm.
That long list of 84 above; what did I miss? Please, if you have additional data that estimates the idiotic effects of anything else, like sniffing airplane glue or enduring a fraternity initiation, place your info in the comment section below.

How far is it to get home from wherever you may be? This get home kit should provide for 1-3 nights of traveling on foot till you make it home.

On 12 March, the rapporteur of the Conseil d'Etat called for the decree establishing the premium purchase price for onshore wind power to be annulled on the grounds that the government had not previously notified the European Commission.
The challenge was put forward by Vent de Colère, an association opposed to industrial-scale wind power.
If the ECJ upholds the appeal, the government will have to issue a new decree, which could take several months. In the interim, it will not be possible to sign a power purchase agreement and banks will be even more reluctant to finance new projects because of the uncertainty.
Speaking about the possibility of the challenge being upheld, president of the French wind energy association Nicolas Wolff warned up to 4,000 jobs could be at risk in France if the challenge is upheld.
The previous decree, issued in 2006, was annulled in 2008 by the council at the demand of Vent de Colère, again for technical reasons.

When we spoke with This Means War director/producer McG last month, he mentioned Dead Spy Running, a spy project he developed with Stephen Gaghan (Syriana). McG hoped Gaghan could direct, but suggested there could be a scheduling issue. If Gaghan can't find the time, Twitch hears McG found a promising replacement in Jonathan Levine, now in negotiations to direct. Levine's resume—50/50, The Wackness, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane—does not necessarily prepare him for a spy thriller. But Levine crafted one of the finest films of 2011 in 50/50, and his next project is the high-concept zombie genre piece Warm Bodies. Now is a great time to get into business with an up-and-coming director who has demonstrated his competency with a variety of material.
McG described Dead Spy Running as a spy story for this generation, "the Social Network age." Hit the jump for his full pitch.
The whole of McG's comments:
"Dead Spy Running we're trying to get made out of Warner Bros. with Gaghan. Gaghan's writing it, and we're trying to get Gaghan to direct it. But he's got scheduling stuff going on, and we have to get the script to a place where we're ultimately going to make it, get the budget right. Listen, now more than ever it's really tough to get a film properly greenlit and off the ground. There are a million ways for a film to fall apart, and very few for it to come together. But that is a spy story for this generation. It's of the Social Network age. Imagine those kids in Zuckerberg's room in The Social Network. One of them goes on to be a spy and uses his acumen of today's world: DJ culture, Steve Jobs, the Apple store. Which I say with respect to Bond, Bourne, and Hunt, they don't really know that world. But there's a whole generation of kids that do. And what if a spy came from that place? Gaghan knows a lot about that world, so I'm hoping to get that done. That's a huge priority."
For more on all things Levine, check out our interview with the director on the 50/50 circuit.

Kingston's Surrey Division One fate will be decided in a committee room rather than on the pitch - for now.
The Hook Road outfit could not secure the win required at champions Old Tiffinians last Saturday that would have secured the sixth place finish needed to be certain of county top-flight rugby next term.
Head coach Earle Wilkes' men were edged out 29-28, but scored five tries – including two penalty tries – in a thrilling encounter to grab two losing bonus points.
The league's decision to allow the result of the clash between Old Whitgiftians and Old Blues – which was abandoned with 10 minutes remaining with the scores at 25-19 to Old Blues on Saturday – to stand dropped Kingston in to the bottom three.
Surrey RFU competitions sub-committee chairman Tony Price confirmed on Tuesday that Kingston, Old Freemans and Old Walcountians would drop in to Surrey Two.
But chairman Graeme Maisey, whose club lodged an appeal on Wednesday asking for the Old Whitgiftians match to be replayed, reckoned his side should have been home and hosed already.
"It was the one that got away to be honest, we should have won," said the 41-year-old second row.
"The tries we gave away were pretty soft, but we got back to within a point.
"We were on their line for the last 10 minutes. We missed two penalty kicks and I think we should have been awarded a penalty try.
"The scrum stood up twice on their scrum five yards out.
"It was a tremendous effort from the guys. We couldn't have really done much more."
He added: "This always happens. They should decide these things at the start of the season."
Old Whitgiftians chairman Sam Barke was reluctant to replay his club's final game, which was halted after a player suffered a broken leg.
"No one wants to particularly play the game, but the result will affect other clubs, so it will probably have to be played again," he added.
The Surrey RFU are expected to make a decision on the abandoned game next week.

Nothing is official, and verbal agreements to sign a contract pending the ability of the team owner to actually get the money to make it happen aren't set in stone. But Kobe Bryant is now pretty close to actually signing in Italy. Wait and see if it materializes.
UPDATE: Already, this report is being shot down. It may not be true. Apparently the owners need a lot of magic to make this thing happen, and it probably won't. But here's the earlier report:
The AP reports:
Italian club Virtus Bologna has reached a verbal agreement with Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant to play in Italy during the NBA lockout.
The sides have settled on a $3 million contract for the opening 40 days of the Italian league season, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press on Friday.
Bryant, who spent much of his childhood in Italy, was in the country for sponsor appearances over the past two days but was flying back to the U.S. for labor talks with the NBA on Friday.
Bryant will get a work visa and return to Italy next week, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has still not been signed.
Virtus had been due to open the season Oct. 9 against Roma, but schedules now need to be reworked after Venezia was added to the league as a 17th team.

Cycling Canada is putting forward five names for the CIBC Team Next program.
These athletes were chosen from among more than 50 who submitted applications by the Aug. 1 deadline. Cycling Canada's High Performance Committee reviewed all the applications and nominated one athlete per cycling discipline to put forward:
• Para-cycling: Louis-Albert Corriveua-Jolin
• Road : Gabrielle Pilote-Fortin
• Track : Candice Vermeulen
• MTB : Derek Zandstra
• BMX : Corey Walsh
These athletes will have until Sept. 6 to complete an online nomination process and vie to be among the 67 athletes who will receive support. Later in the fall, AthletesCAN and CIBC will announce the final list of athletes who will be receiving support.
CIBC is investing $2 million into helping these young athletes realize their dreams of representing Canada on the world stage. The 67 selected athletes will each receive a $5,000 annual grant for the next 3 years ($15,000 total) in addition to receiving mentorship from top prominent athletes, workshop and advice on personal finance and community support.

DSM says the recent change to a UL standard covering low-voltage switchgear (LVSG) has opened up the way for plastics innovation in electrical applications such as miniature circuit breakers. With its broad portfolio of high-performance halogen-free flame-retardant engineering thermoplastic materials such as its Akulon nylon 6 and Stanyl nylon 46, the company is leading the conversion from thermosets to engineering thermoplastics for LVSG applications.
UL 1077 standard, for supplementary protectors used in electrical equipment, is widely applied in the United States and South America. The recent changes in the UL will make it possible for engineering plastics to be used in applications such as miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) in the Americas, where until now it was hardly possible to use materials other than thermosets. This change also signals a continuation in the convergence of UL and International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) standards, which will make it easier for suppliers to supply the same product globally. (IEC/EN 60947 is the standard for LVSG in Europe, Asia and elsewhere.)
Manufacturers and users of MCBs will benefit because production of MCBs in engineering plastics is more cost-effective than in thermosets such as BMC. For example, cycle times are at least 40% less than they are for BMC, material wastage is reduced, recycling is much simpler, and more innovative product design can be used for example in thin walling and integrating additional functions into the housing of the device. Housings in engineering plastics are also more robust, since the materials are more ductile than thermosets. (812) 435-7500

Video provided by: FalconStudios
Video description: Cameron Foster is snoozing on the couch looking as delicious as sin to his mischievous roommate. Logan Stevens plants a big dildo between the sleeping blond's thighs and just as he's about to scribble a moustache on his buddy's face, Cameron wakes up. They goof around a bit before Cameron surrenders to the sexual hijinks and starts to suck on his assailant's cock. He works his mouth and tongue vigorously up and down the rigid length of Logan's tasty meat. The bearded prankster then takes his turn nursing on Cameron's dick. Before long, he's got the dildo in hand and quickly stuffs it up his partner's asshole. Cameron pants with excitement and soon wants the real thing, so Logan fucks him fast and furious, churning in and out from behind. Then they're down with Cameron on his back with Logan standing between his outstretched legs still plugging his hole until the both finally cum.

Hello everyone.
I am a older college student who is studying computer science. My school teaches Java, so I now know some basics, maybe a little beyond. At my school I tutor/student aid the Java programming courses. I also learned a bit of SQL and VB. That is about it for my programming background.
I joined here to make some programming friends, learn more, and maybe answer questions where I can... I like helping with code.

Whether you are a beginner blogger or have been blogging for some time, the key to your success lies within your ability to create a unique online presence. One way to do that is to find your blogging voice. Reading through blog posts, the one piece of advice you see over and over again is "Write how your speak". It sounds easy doesn't it? But because you are so connected to yourself, sometimes it is difficult to know how to do that.
Seasoned bloggers can also lose their voice. They can get caught up in writing posts for more pageviews, wanting to attract brands or creating sponsored blog posts that dictate content. How do you get back to what makes you, you? With 80,000 blog posts being published every hour, your blogging voice is the only thing that sets you apart from all the others.
Ignorance is bliss.
At least that is how I feel. When I first started blogging, I had no idea what the heck I was doing. Even though I cringe reading through old blog posts, I can't help but remember how freeing it was to just write without worrying about how it will be viewed. No pressure. Those were the days. Now after having read a gazillion blog posts about "how to blog", I sometimes find myself stifled by the rules I have placed on myself.
Writing a blog post now means focusing on crafting the perfect title, graphic, pin and seo keyword long tails. It is so tedious and literally zaps the creativity and flow of words from me. Just the thought of having to do all that with EVERY SINGLE BLOG POST is exhausting. Every word is thought out, pre-conceived, outlined, examined and scrutinised. Where is the fun in that? There isn't and that can quickly translate into the overall feeling or impression of a blog post. That is definitely not good for pageviews or repeat visitors. Personality or voice is lacking having been replaced with the need for perfection.
Beginner or veteran, finding your blogging voice helps keep your blog fresh and inviting to not only your readers but also for you.
How To Find Your Unique Blogging Voice
1. Practice on Facebook
A great place to practice your writing skills and develop your voice is on Facebook. You are free to do short posts, memes, pictures, observances or share your thoughts with instant feedback. Share what is important to you or be completely silly. Start conversations and get connected with your readers. You can be yourself either on your fan page or on your personal account.
2. Start a Journal or "Morning Papers"
Not ready to practice in public? Then take it old school. Get a real life journal and write away. No one ever has to see it but you. This is a great way to hone your writing skills and let your true personality shine through without reprisal from the grammar police. Don't worry about structure or flow. This is an exercise in getting your voice on to paper.
3. Join a Challenge or Word Prompt Thread
Are you really stuck and don't know where to start? Join a challenge like #weekendcoffeeshare. You can either write an actual blog post or just share on Facebook. This type of challenge is great for developing your voice because the focus is writing in first person. You can't help but let your personality shine through.
4. Don't Over Edit your First Draft
Do you go over and over a blog post till you have cleaned it up so perfect you could hand it in to your 9th grade high school English teacher? Stop removing and cleaning up to the point where you have erased your personality from your writing.
5. Stop Thinking Every Post has to be Epic
It is funny how the posts that I have put the least amount of work in become my most popular. That is because when I am writing it, I am not thinking about perfection or "going viral". Those are the posts where my personality shines. And remember, not every song is a hit, not every book is a bestseller. Everyone needs a B side. You are not the Beatles or Stephen King. Release the pressure of epic and you will be surprised at what you will produce.
6. Ask a Friend
Someone who knows you in real life, knows your true personality. They will be able to criticise your work, not for content but to tell you if what makes you, you, is present in your written word. Use that resource.
7. Stop Over-Thinking Your Image
Over and over again I hear about bloggers who quit or are thinking about quitting. Many times it is because they develop a blogging persona that veers so far away from who they are and what they are about. They no longer write about what they are passionate about but what they think readers are passionate about. They create a new personality and sooner or later, they quit because they feel trapped and need to shed the voice that does not represent them. I totally understand that some blog for business and are super focused on creating a brand of themselves but even then, readers want to connect with you, the real person. The most popular blogs are those in which readers can identify with the blogger and their trials and tribulations. Stop trying to mold or hyper control the image/brand you want to present. Absolutely nobody's perfect.
8. Share your Personal Experiences
Reality. Right across all of your social media platforms you can find multiple posts about the same thing, no matter what you are blogging about and no matter which blogging niche you attribute your blog to. The only thing that helps you distinguish yourself from all the rest is your unique experiences. They also help you find your blogging voice. Use the things that happen to you personally and share those occurrences in your writing.
9. Stop Comparing Yourself to Others!
Not only is comparing yourself to others bad for your self-esteem and ego, they also run the risk of you trying to copy someone else's style and personality. What works for someone else may not work for you and more than likely, does not fit your personality or blogging voice. Do not mimic another blogger's technique because you will run the risk of sounding inauthentic. That is not the blogging voice you want to have.
10. Don't Write for Pageviews
Yes, as bloggers we want to feel like we are sharing our writing with the universe and that we are being heard. Don't get stuck in the trap of writing strictly for pageviews. We all know that the quickest way to go viral is to be controversial. Controversy can be a huge draw but if that is not what you are inherently about, you will become entrenched in a style that is not your own as well as constantly being in battle with the commenting trolls.
11. Write in your Most Comfortable Place
Where are you when you are most connected to your own thoughts? Where do you find it easier to write? Is it in that brand new office you just set up for yourself or is it in your favourite chair? In nature? In a coffee shop? Find your most comfortable place to write and you will find that it is easier to express yourself and your unique blogging voice.
Remember that people come to your blog to connect with YOU! You are your blog. Share your personality, your thoughts and your experiences. No one else can do that but you. That's what will make your blog unique and stand out. That's what will help you connect with your ideal readers and grow your audience.
I hope you find your blogging voice and love the community you build in the process.
