The work on changing Battersea Power Station creates a striking night-time scene
London Skyline
From the top of St Paul's Cathedral, continuing our occasional journey of being tourists in our own capitol city.
Thames Barrier 230/365
I'd never seen this from the ground before.... worth a look!
Canary Wharf 232/365
It's rare for me to capture a cityscape rather than a standard landscape these days, so here's another one.
Room with a view 77/365
A bit of travelling to get back to Seattle and the Four Season Hotel which over-looks the bay and giant ferris wheel. Just enough time to go and explore tomorrow before the next flight back to the UK. Choice #2 shot for day 77
Goodnight Wherever You Are 78/365
I'm sure you'll get this reference. I have another shot of the Space Needle with a grunge filter if you want something more cryptic...
London Landmarks (mostly new)
So I can see: City Hall, The Shard, HMS Belfast, The BT (Post Office) Tower, The top of St Paul's Cathedral, 20 Fenchurch (The Walkie Talkie), the Leadenhall Building (The Cheesegrater), 30 St Mary Axe (The Gherkin), The Tower of London and finally a bit of Tower Bridge (which I am standing on).

Tunnel Rats 75/365
When you are re-plumbing an 80 year old house there are several nightmare processes you have to go through: 1. Remove all the asbestos. It seemed like a miracle material in the 1930's: insulative, fire proof... and now we know DEADLY! So that was money well spent over three months removing it! 2. Install the new biomass boiler (relatively easy if expensive) 3. check that the plumbing still works... er well the heating system (dormant for over 35 years is still basically 100%, but the hot water pipes have all been cut in places we can't find.
That's why Simon here is crawling around in the spooky dark tunnel. I'll just lock the hatch again so he can't escape before he finds the problem.
InSpired 272/265
I have been admiring this view for a while now.... and today was the day to snap it!
The Admiralty with Canary Wharf
Canary Wharf from Greenwich
Exploring the tunnel under the River Thames from Greenwich to the Isle of Dogs. First opened in 1902 and still amazing. I liked the way that the lighting threw out concentric circles of light down the tunnel. The whole image also seemed to work better as a zoom-blur... so here you go

What is it that makes life "noble"? Is "just surviving" a noble enough cause on its own, or does it take more than just living an enjoyable life to live a worthwhile existence?
Views: 461
You are right Jedi, we should not be concerned about what others think about us.
I think we should help others and be kind. This is a very thought provoking discussion.
The word noble is derived from the Latin nobilis, originally meaning well-known, famous, celebrated, which later came to mean excellent, superior, of high rank. Historically nobility required a title, conferred by a monarch or inherited. Nobles were expected to set examples of loyalty to their monarch and bravery in battle, ready to sacrifice life for honor.
What might be considered a noble life today? One in which personal interest or advantage would be sacrificed to the greater good. Pretty much the opposite of what is done in investment banking and Congress.
What, interest in money and power aren't noble pursuits? :P I'm just in a mood to question whether there is anything actually noble about any human endeavors. Certainly if there is, it is to be found in some notion of "the greater good". But let's see if there is any such thing. Why would it be any better or worse to help out many people rather than just one? What makes the ends of a collection of people any more noble than that of an individual? If we are miserable sops as individual, aren't we just a group of miserable sops taken together?
I thought a noble existence is one that is nonreactive. Generally, "noble" is a term for those that don't compromise on their values or are not troubled by the more common concerns of the base population. Unfortunately, those values aren't valued equally across the spectrum of humanity. I'll pass on nobility.
You're thinking of the "noble gases" which are inert and impervious to the attractions of passing ions anxious to bond.
What do I consider to be noble? The first thing that comes to mind are acts of heroism which actually put the rescuer at risk, and in which he has no thoughts of his own safety. Such as running into a burning building and rescuing children from a burning home. But is this noble or just an act of mindlessness or unconsciousness of what the loss would be to his own family were he to die in that attempt? I think nobility is stepping above the average consciousness of the masses. Stepping out of the crowd mentality. Still, the concept of being of service to others for me is definitely entwined with the concept of nobility. Living a noble life is about always reaching for the highest level of clear consciousness that I can be in and acting from that point of clarity in any given moment in my life. Leaving all the bs, history, chaos out of it. It is owning completely who I am and my talents and moving through life with that internal ownership. To me that is living a noble life.
Valerie, I very much like this idea of yours that nobility is raising one's level of consciousness. I have certainly felt that this has a great deal to do with living a noble life. As Socrates said, "the unexamined life is not worth living". But is it necessarily the case? Let's examine what it means to have a higher level of consciousness and see whether that leads to a more noble existence. Certainly it's all a matter of degree, one person's elevated consciousness is another's depravity. Are we talking about being able to see the world more objectively? If so, then maybe this leads to nihilism and despair. It ic certainly what has led me to question whether any of our motives can truly be considered noble. My thinking has led me to ask whether all of human endeavor isn't just an immense exercise of ego. We live as if our lives were inherently valuable, we simply take it for granted that our existence is good and see the world from an inside-out perspective, constructing our world's around the idea that we are "good", that what we ought to do above all else is exist, survive, and thrive. But of course the existence of a great many people is evidence to the contrary that human life is inherently valuable. What is it that separates the noble one's from the ignoble? I'm rambling I know, but an elevated consciousness, one that makes us aware that our value is not to be taken for granted, could in theory lead us to behave in ways which are more sustainable and more inclusive of other species and modes of existence, and this is certainly as far as I can see in the direction of what our species would need to do if it could rightly consider itself noble (and on this criteria alone, will likely fail miserably and reveal humanity to be, on the whole, a largely detestable creature). And then you could push it even further, asking whether existence itself is at all valuable. But then, I am forced to conclude that it is all that could be valuable, and of all possible experiences, the ones had with an elevated consciousness are assuredly the most noble. So, thanks Valerie! :-P

This is a multicenter, single arm, 48-week open-label study of FDC ELV/COBI/FTC/TDF [Stribild] in acute HIV infection. Study sites will be members of the Duke-UNC Acute HIV Infection Study Consortium. Participants will be enrolled for 96 weeks. Clinical care and study drug (ELV/COBI/FTC/TDF) will be provided for the first 48 weeks. After week 48, clinical care but not study drug will be provided through week 96. A study participant suppressed at week 48 can continue on FDC ELV/COBI/FTC/TDF.
The primary hypothesis is that once daily fixed-dose combination elvitegravir (ELV), cobicistat (COBI), emtricitabine (FTC), and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) will rapidly reduce viral replication to <50 copies RNA/ml in participants with acute HIV infection. The secondary hypotheses to be considered are 1) virologic response rates as measured by plasma HIV RNA levels will be non-inferior or superior to a historical group of participants from the PHI cohort treated with EFV/FTC/TDF, 2) compared to historical controls treated with EFV/FTC/TDF, plasma HIV RNA will decrease more rapidly in PHI participants treated with ELV/COBI/FTC/TDF, 3) compared to historical controls treated with EFV/FTC/TDF, immune activation as measured by the proportion CD4+ and CD8+ cells expressing HLA-DR and CD38+ will decrease more rapidly in PHI participants treated with ELV/COBI/FTC/TDF, 4)in a subset of participants samples will be obtained from compartments such as the gastrointestinal tract, and lymphoid tissues to assess changes over time in parameters such as HIV-1 RNA, immunologic responses to HIV, and tissue and anatomic reservoirs. We hypothesize that treatment with the ELV/COBI/FTC/TDF will demonstrate improved viral clearance in these compartments as compared to historical controls treated with EFV/FTC/TDF. 5) in a subset of participants who remain suppressed on therapy, resting CD4 cells with replication-competent HIV-1 (latent reservoir) will be quantitated and compared to similar measurements in PHI participants treated with EFV/FTC/TDF. In addition, we will compare these results to those measured in HIV-1 infected participants treated and 6) ELV/COBI/FTC/TDF will be well tolerated, and the proportion of participants who require treatment modification will be less than that observed in participants treated with EFV/FTC/TDF.

And, at this point in the baseball calendar, all we can provide you is speculation -- we like to call it an educated guess -- as to whom the Orioles may target this offseason. So take this list for what it is worth: an early look at some of the more intriguing names that are or could be available. (A new group of players will enter the market after Nov. 30, when clubs choose whether to tender contracts to their arbitration eligible players) Also, keep in mind that Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette prefers to build from the bottom up, so he's more focused on strengthening the farm system and club depth than he is buying high-ticket items. But this is the first time in a decade-plus that Baltimore is a somewhat desirable destination. And surely the Orioles will do their due diligence in free agency, even if ultimately they don't make a splash. Here are some names to keep in mind. There surely will be more to consider as the hot stove season progresses. The Orioles own free agents, such as pitcher Joe Saunders and outfielder Nate McLouth, are not included. But you can assume the club will make a run at those two. No specific dollar figures or contract lengths are mentioned at this point. Even we think that speculation is too early. -- Dan Connolly Next Gallery PHOTOS Orioles vs Nationals, Aug. 28, 2019 PHOTOS Orioles vs. Blue Jays, Sept. 19, 2019 | PHOTOS Advertisement Orioles Orioles Orioles vs. Blue Jays, Sept. 18, 2019 | PHOTOS Sep 18, 2019 Orioles vs. Blue Jays, Sept. 17, 2019 | PHOTOS Orioles vs. Tigers, Sept. 16, 2019 | PHOTOS Orioles vs. Tigers, Sept. 15, 2019 | PHOTOS Orioles vs. Dodgers, Sept. 11, 2019 Orioles vs. Dodgers, Sept. 10, 2019 Orioles vs. Rangers, Sept. 05, 2019 Orioles vs. Rays in doubleheader, Sept. 3, 2019

The reason for this is that the sequential composition combinator (`~') combines its constituents into a ~. When several `~'s are combined, this results in nested `~'s (to the left). The `flatten*' coercions makes it easy to apply an `n'-argument function to a nested ~ of depth (`n-1')
The `headOptionTailToFunList' converts a function that takes a List[A] to a function that accepts a ~[A, Option[List[A]]] (this happens when, e.g., parsing something of the following shape: p ~ opt("." ~ repsep(p, ".")) -- where `p' is a parser that yields an A)

Love egg drop soup? For the second video in the new Appetite for China Cooking Videos series, I decided to update this post with a fun visual guide on making egg drop soup with tomatoes. Let me know what you think!
I first made tomato egg drop soup in 2008 while living in Beijing during the Summer Olympics. At the time, I was in desperate need of something light and healthy for lunch to go with a salad, to counteract all the fried food I had been eating at the Olympic venues. And what could be more healthy and comforting at the same time than tomatoes and eggs in homemade chicken broth? Over the years I've tweaked the recipe bit by bit and come up with this revised version.
There are few ingredients in this soup, so it's important that the chicken stock (or vegetable stock) be homemade. (You can use either Chinese or Western homemade stock.) If you must use store-bought, try to find organic stock or broth that does not have too many preservatives in the label.
This soup is incredibly simple to prepare, with no special technique other than the swirling in of the egg whites to create the egg strands. It may sound intimidating, but rest assured you'll get a hang of it easily! (Just read the recipe over and familiarize yourself with Step 2 before beginning cooking.) You may soon be making egg drop soup like a pro!
Tomato Egg Drop Soup
Serves 4
- 4 to 5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 medium firm tomatoes, cut into wedges
- 1 large egg
- 1 scallion, chopped or thinly sliced for garnish
- In a medium pot, bring the stock to boil. Stir in the ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, white pepper, and salt. Add tomatoes and cook for just another 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg lightly with a fork. Slowly pour the egg into the soup in a steady stream while continuously stirring with a long spoon or chopstick. The egg should cook immediately and look like long yellowish-white strands. Turn off the heat right after to prevent the eggs from overcooking.
- Ladle the soup into individual bowls, sprinkle the scallions on top, and serve.
Updated March 5, 2013. Original recipe posted August 28, 2008.

Back in the game: Harrison Ford returns to space in 'Ender's Game'
By Rob Lowman
Daily News, Los Angeles
"H-a," Asa Butterfield catches himself. "I mean Harrison, of course. I almost said Han."
The young actor was talking about his co-star, Harrison Ford, who was Hans Solo in "Star Wars," in the big screen adaptation of "Ender's Game," a sci-fi film that is both thought-provoking and action-filled. Set on a future Earth, it tells the story of young Ender Wiggins (Butterfield), a misfit genius, who because of his brilliant strategic abilities is recruited to fight a space war against alien enemies using sophisticated video game-like simulators.
Ford plays Col. Hyrum Graff, who has spotted Ender as a potential savior of the species. But he has a complicated relationship with the youth. While he drives Ender to become a merciless soldier, Graff understands he is squeezing the humanity out of the boy.
"Manipulator and mentor: The moral issues of what my character, Graff, puts Ender through are what interested me when I read the script," says the 71-year-old Ford, looking dapper in a gray suit, a small ringed silver earring and colorful socks.
The screenplay is by director Gavin Hood ("X-Men Origins: Wolverine," "Rendition") and is based on the beloved 1985 novel by Orson Scott Card of the same name. It's one of those books that Hollywood has been trying to make into a movie for years, but no one could figure out the logistics. Hood compressed the time frame — turning six months into less than a year — and eliminating some of the subplots.
The novel was prescient when it was written, seeing the incredible impart the Internet and videogames — both in their infancy then — would have on the world. It also anticipated drone warfare. But at its heart, the novel is very humanistic, raising a number of moral and ethical questions, which Hood and his actors did not want to sacrifice just to make a big-budget sci-fi picture.
While there is no shortage of action, "Ender's Game" also gives audiences something to ponder. In the story, Earth had been attacked by alien race called Formics, whose own planet — like ours — is overpopulated and running out of resources. After the invasion is beaten back and the aliens retreat, humans decide to go on the offensive, creating military camps for the world's children in order to be ready for another strike. Eventually, though, the thinking by Graff and others in command is toward a pre-emptive strike to eliminate the enemy.
"There's no easy answer for any of these things because it's not black and white," observes Ford. "We've always trained young people because young people make our best soldiers. They are the fittest. It's always been the business of war to raise soldiers from the youngest members of society, but it's a moral issue worth thinking about."
The actor sees the movie as an opportunity for families to talk about such issues.
The subject hits home for the South African native Hood, whose "Tsotsi" won the 2005 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
"I was conscripted in 1981 at 17," Hood says. "I lost a close friend in Angola, and it made me very distressed and angry. It also made me question whether I should have been there or not. Why were CIA guys part of my training outfit? What was really going on? Was it about diamonds and oil reserves? Who knows about the layers and layers of complexity?"
The filmmaker says the experience made him make choices about how he lived his own life.
"I want audiences to see the choice Ender is making," he says.
Hood says they looked at hundreds of young actors before finding Butterfield ("Hugo") to play the child warrior. They then shot the film in sequence for a couple of reasons, one of them being that the now 16-year-old Butterfield grew about three inches during filming (and three more since). For the role, the young English actor had to go through some rigorous physical training, similar to a military boot camp where he also learned to salute and march.
Ender, an outlier, is bullied by the older boys and competitors in the military camps and must defend himself, so he often finds himself in brawls, which were staged with a degree of brutality rather than comic-book style. There are also fights in the battle room where cadets compete in war games. Digital Domain created the computer-generated details for the weightless atmosphere and other effects in the movie, but Butterfield and the actors who play cadets soared around hooked to wires for the combat sequences.
"The people who hooked us into the wires were from Cirque du Soleil," says Butterfield.
The self-described an average teenager back home in London, Butterfield realizes that he's just a normal teen "except for this," referring to his film career, and the movie, in which he eventually had to have a face off with an actor with the stature of Ford. A "massive" sci-fi fan, Butterfield says it was a great experience to work with longtime Hollywood star, who first grew to fame in "Star Wars."
"Harrison brought out the best out of all us young actors," Butterfield says.
Another reason Hood shot "Ender's Game" in sequence, he says, is that he wanted Butterfield to grow in confidence during the film, so that his character could stand up to Ford's Graff during the film's dramatic finale.
"Harrison's iconic status really helped in Asa's performance," says Hood.
Some have noted that "Ender's Game" is Ford's first space film since 1983's "Return of Jedi," his final "Star Wars" film.
"I don't see it being a big deal, whether it's science fiction or anything else," the actor says. "Imagination is really focused on trying to create real useful human relationships and emotional context for the audience. So I don't really care what color the wallpaper is. It doesn't mean anything special."
The actor recalls that during the filming of "Star Wars," the crew used plastic car kits to build spaceships, "cutting them out and gluing pieces onto balsa wood and putting them on a stick and flying it past a camera. The effects worked then because they were accompanied by great music."
Ford says that while he appreciates what computers can do now to generate imaginary landscapes, he notes that it can also can be distracting.
"What happens too often is that with a few more keystrokes, instead of facing an army of 100, you are facing off against an army of 10,000. And all of a sudden, you have lost human scale where you don't feel the threat. You can generate effects to the point where they don't serve the story as much as they should,"he says.
This year has seen Ford playing craggy Brooklyn Dodgers president Branch Rickey in the hit Jackie Robinson biopic "42," and an aging tech mogul in "Paranoia." Next year, he'll be seen in Sylvester Stallone's action film "Expendables 3."
"The only action I had was flapping my gums," he jokes.
"Roles are different now for me, and I'm quite happy about that," Ford says. "I get a chance to play character parts that weren't offered to me when I had the leading man job. I'm quite happy to have character parts, which is what I always wanted to do. Starting out, I never thought I'd be a leading man. That was fun, that was great, but this is different and this is fun for me.
"Someone asked me recently about being an icon. It's a word that keeps showing up, and I don't know what it means to them because it doesn't mean anything to me. It just means I'm still around, and that's the way they consider me. But I love these opportunities of playing different kind of roles."

Berlin truck terrorist Anis Amri has been shot dead in Milan, the Italian Interior Ministry has confirmed.
Amri "immediately" produced a gun when approached by police and shot an officer during a routine patrol in the northern Italian city early on Friday.
The Tunisian was then killed, and there is "absolutely no doubt" that the man was Amri, Italian interior minister Marco Minniti said.
Amri, 24, was suspected of driving a truck into crowds at a Christmas market in Berlin on Monday, killing 12 people and injuring 48.
At a press conference on Friday morning, Mr Minniti said: "One of our police officers on patrol stopped a person who was just walking around looking very suspect. And the moment he was stopped, the man, without hesitating, he immediately took his gun and shot at the police officer who asked him for his identification papers."
He said the officer is recovering in hospital.
Mr Minniti said: "Police officers reacted to the shootout. The person who attacked our police officer was killed."
He added: "There is absolutely no doubt that the person who was killed is Anis Amri, the suspect of the terrorist attack in Berlin."
Although the minister declined to disclose too many operational details, he lauded the moment - which took place at 3am - as demonstrative of the excellence of Italy's security services.
He said: "I would like to thank the whole of the security of our country. Italy should be really proud of our security full stop and I repeat - really proud, full stop."
Mr Minniti added: "As soon as this person entered our country he was the most wanted man in Europe and we immediately identified him and neutralised him and this means our security is working really well."
The minister said: "We are talking about an operation that happened at three in the morning in the middle of a really important city centre and it happened in complete security.
"The only problem was for the police officer who was shot - no-one else was injured."

Over the past decades, education researchers have shifted their understanding of science from "a rhetoric of conclusions" – that is, a fixed canon of content – to a social process of knowledge construction. While much of the research has investigated individual learners as they engage with scientific ideas, experiments, and methods, increasingly researchers are turning to the social processes of science as it is constructed in a community, with particular interest in scientific argumentation. This emphasis on argument recasts the role of evidence and data in scientific classrooms: rather than being used to demonstrate the scientific canon or even to guide students to construct correct scientific principles, it is the grounds on which claims – generated by students in the process of argumentation – are warranted. In this paper, I explore a transcript of scientific discourse, exploring the rules by which participants in the discourse endorse or reject scientific claims. I appeal for a more nuanced understanding of evidence as one of many criteria by which scientific claims are evaluated, and that evidence, at times, is incommensurable with other, possibly more scientific, criteria for evaluating claims. This view of argumentation, and the peculiar discourse games associated with argumentation, is particularly relevant for understanding difficulties that diverse student populations may face.

I'm trying to build something akin to Facebook's "Share" functionality for my website.
I've gotten to the point where I can accept a URL, scrape it for meta keywords and suitably get titles/descriptions, but I'm a bit stuck as to the best way to determine 'likely' photos the user may want to share.
I currently use the SimpleXMLElement to turn the page into a traversable DOM, and find all the tags, turning them into absolute URLs. After that, I'm not sure how I can go about finding a suitable thumbnail.
Do I download them all, and go by file size? Do I use some sort of heuristic like, "was encountered in the middle of the page"?
Does anyone else have any recommendations, suggestions, or tips?

Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler has recorded a new track with Korean pop sensation Psy.
The Gangnam Style hitmaker recorded the unlikely collaboration for his new album, admitting the duet is a dream come true for him.
He tells Italy's L'Uomo Vogue, "When I was in middle school, I literally cried when Aerosmith were singing Crazy or Amazing or whatever. They were my lifetime role models, and now I am collaborating with Steven Tyler. What the f**k, man? I love my life."
The odd couple reportedly hooked up backstage at a festival in Singapore in May, when Psy tweeted a photo of himself with his hero. He also posted a shot of an Aerosmith set list upon which Tyler had written, "Psy, O yeah, honor & pleasure to meet you. Love, Steven Tyler."
The title of the song they recorded together along with any other details have not been released.
Meanwhile, Psy has revealed he is also hoping to revamp a Queen hit following a meeting with guitarist Brian May, during which he told the rocker how the late Freddie Mercury has influenced his performances.
He adds, "His songwriting skills, I cannot even approach, but his showmanship, everything I know about the stage, I learned it from his videos."

An outspoken civil rights advocate is reportedly within days of announcing her decision to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins next year. Shenna Bellows, the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine, will seek the Democratic nomination to become Maine's next U.S. senator, according to well-placed State House sources. Bellows faces an uphill battle against the three-term Collins, who won her last election with more than 60 percent of the vote.
Normally accessible to reporters, Shenna Bellows was hard to find Friday as she continued to dodge interview requests about her future plans. Reliable political sources confirm that she has decided to seek the Democratic nomination and take a leave of absence from her duties as the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine.
As Bellows confronts what is expected to be a formidable reelection bid from GOP incumbent Sen. Susan Susan Collins, University of Maine Political Science Professor Mark Brewer says the two campaigns will present a study in contrasts.
"What this would seem to me to be is an example of an up-and-coming voice in public life who is interested in taking the next step in public office," Brewer says.
Bellows is well known around the State House, where she has been an active civil rights advocate for the last eight years for the ACLU. Brewer says the level of comfort Bellows has working with lawmakers will serve her well as she puts together a statewide organization with key Democrats to challenge Collins.
"One thing that you have to do in order to do that is to build name recognition and build a track record and a reputation and introduce yourself to the electorate," Brewer says, "and to me, this would seem to be a perfect example of someone doing that."
A native of Hancock, Bellows has been active in several statewide campaigns, including the effort to legalize same-sex marriage and to oppose state voter ID requirements. And at 38, she's had early success in both. She has also earned the support of some libertarian-leaning Republicans who support her stands against the Patriot Act -- a measure that broadened government surveillance powers and was staunchly defended by Collins.
University of Maine Farmington Political Science Professor Jim Melcher says that measure of support could shift to Bellows favor should Collins defeat a libertarian GOP primary opponent.
"If you had a Republican primary against Susan Collins, you might have some people who are unhappy with her and think that she's not libertarian enough, and want somebody like Ron Paul or a Rand Paul in there," Melcher says. "That might sort of set things up where, if people are angry, they might have some place to go."
Cynthia Dill is an attorney and former state lawmaker who was the last Democratic woman to seek a U.S. Senate seat. She lost to independent Sen. Angus King in 2012. But she says next year's race against Collins will be different for Democrats, who have frequently tried to tie Republican candidates to Gov. Paul LePage.
"I think that in this case, in 2014, Sen. Collins - it's going to be very difficult to pin her with Gov. LePage," says Dill. "On national issues she really is perceived as a moderate when it comes to gun control, choice, war, the environment, so that's going to clearly be a difference. And there's no independent to contend with. But the bottom line is that it's going to be very difficult, it's going to be very rewarding and it's going to be very expensive."
Rick Bennett, state Republican chairman, says he doesn't know Bellows well. But he also says the fact that the election is a year away, and that Bellows is the first name to be mentioned as an opponent for Collins, speaks to the level of support the Republican is perceived to have in Maine.
"There are very few other people who are out there that I think would consider it seriously, because I think the understanding that most Maine people have is that Sen. Collins deserves reelection," Bennett says. "She works hard and she's earned the popularity that she has."
A total of $11 million was spent by Democratic candidate Tom Allen and Collins during her 2008 reelection campaign.

Book Review: Urban Homesteading
Want to grow food and live the sustainable lifestyle but lack the space? Urban Homesteading: Heirloom Skills for Sustainable Living, by Rachel Kaplan with K. Ruby Blume, a glossy bible for self-sufficiency in the city, will have you tearing out your driveway to sow a garden, and diverting gray water to irrigate it. The book's beautifully presented and amply illustrated projects are all geared toward typical city-sized lots, and interspersed with case studies of actual homesteads and working urban farms, like the two-acre rooftop farm in Brooklyn, where greens grow amid rooftop vents.
Local food is central to this vision of urban sustainability, and the authors cover a lot of ground. They explain methods for growing, storing, preserving, and gleaning. Medicinal herbs, solar cooking, and even raising and butchering animals are described. Projects for house-bound harvesters, including lesser-known foodie ventures like raising rabbits, cultivating mushrooms, and lacto-fermentation, make this not just a practical guide for homestead DIYers, but entertaining for armchair homesteaders too.
While producing food locally is arguably the best way to live lighter on the Earth and limit dependence on a flawed global economy, it's not the limit of Kaplan and Blume's appetites.They also provide advice about storing rainwater and using gray water, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, designing for passive heating and cooling, building with cob, and reducing garbage production.
10 Resilient Ideas
Ideas for building resilience from communities across the country—from a hand-made house to rooftop beekeeping.
The book provides, not just the how-tos, but the why-tos for living an ecological lifestyle. Readers are urged to start building community and local economies where they are, with whatever projects they find interesting. The aim isn't solitary self-sufficiency, but working with neighbors to create a more fulfilling life.
The authors are brimming with enthusiasm for transforming their environment, and at times this leads to a prose style some readers will find too dependent on buzzwords, as in the introduction: "This book tells the story of this grassroots do-it-yourself cultural explosion rooted in the urban earth, a homegrown guild of people generating resilient, local culture."
Most of the time that enthusiasm is a good thing—it's hard to read Urban Homesteading without feeling the itch to grab a sledgehammer and replace some pavement with parsnips.
After the death throes of urban decay, what the Motor City can teach us about vision, community, and the power of movements.

Retired farmer Neil Fleming, sitting at home in Taupo in his mid-60s, had barely heard of an IRONMAN. Fast forward a decade and the now 76-year-young finished second in the 75 to 79 age group at the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona.
Neil's daughter had been the medical officer for IRONMAN New Zealand in its early years in Taupo and asked if he would help out in the recovery tent. His son-in-law and then daughter succumbed to the lure of completing IRONMAN New Zealand in their home town.
Gradually over the years Fleming began to think that maybe he could also do the race. He signed up for the 20th anniversary IRONMAN New Zealand race in 2004, then aged 67, and set about training. The lean Fleming had to re-learn how to swim and his concerned family watched as he failed to make the cut-off and was taken from the water.
Undeterred, Fleming had unfinished business and was back on the start line in 2005. This time he nailed the swim in an even two hours, more than 20 minutes faster than the previous year. "My body's holding together fairly well. I have had the odd injury but manage to bounce back. I also think my lifestyle on the farm helped build endurance because you just have to carry on when you're a farmer regardless," says Fleming. (A former farmer, Fleming has always been active and enjoyed running, but when he retired he needed to fill his day somehow and over the years IRONMAN has helped fill the gap.
He finished that year, and caught the IRONMAN bug, and has now finished in New Zealand eight times, twice going under the 14 hour barrier. On four occasions his efforts have been good enough to earn a qualifying place for the IRONMAN World Championships.
This year, Fleming gained his first podium in Hawaii, reversing the top spot with American John Weber who took out the age group by three minutes after leading the New Zealander by nearly an hour out of the water.
But the day was not without its tribulations for Fleming. "I was actually the last person to make the swim cut-off. I was swimming alone and kept waiting for them to pull me out of the water but when I got to the steps no one stopped me I figured I'd made it."
On the bike, the winds were kind to him and he was able to start picking people off. As for the run, he says at his age he can only run/walk, but along the dark highway there are lots of people to chat with. "You can hear some of the aid stations from miles away and they draw you to them, it's very special," he says. "And I never tire of the finish chute."
Age brings its own challenges, but according to Fleming, competing in IRONMAN races is possible with the following focus:
1. Take time to build endurance and tread carefully.
2. Listen to your body, if it doesn't feel right it probably isn't.
3. Don't get hooked on all the latest gear; for the more mature athletes comfort should come before"'bling."
4. Take nutrition seriously. It's key to everything you want to do.
5. Be sure you have family support.
Watch for Fleming to make an appearance on the IRONMAN circuit next year.

About Gross Profit Margin
A gross profit margin is the difference between sales and the cost of goods sold divided by revenue. This represents the percentage of each dollar of a company's revenue available after accounting for cost of goods sold.
If a company produces phones and earns $32 million in sales but pays $24 million for the items sold, then the company's gross profit margin would be ($32M - $24M) / $32M = 25 percent.
Cutting costs result in higher gross profit margins. If a company sells phones for 500 dollars and the cost of the producing the phone is $250, the current gross profit margin is 50 percent ((500-250)/500). If the company is able to reduce production costs from $250 to $200, the gross profit margin is 60 percent ((500-200)/500).
Note : Profit margins are very dependent on sector. Companies that sell bland potato chips may not have very high margins, but will sell a sizable quantity of potato chips. A company that sells consulting services will likely have higher profit margins, but sell lower quantities.

Liberal Arts and Sciences Degree Programs at NMU
The university offers a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Liberal Arts and Sciences for both the on-campus student population and students at off-campus sites where cooperating institutions co-sponsor the program. The program is designed particularly for nontraditional students, and especially for students who are already employed but who seek the completion of an undergraduate degree to enhance their own education and/or professional development.
Program Director

Room 220

Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of ScienceThe baccalaureate degree is intended to provide an opportunity for students who are willing to accept responsibility for designing their own degree program. The liberal studies major is for self-motivated students who seek to create sense and order out of a rich and varied liberal studies curriculum. Potential students should recognize that this program is not appropriate for everyone since it may not be an adequate preparation for admission to certain graduate programs or for careers which require specified course sequences and specializations associated with traditional degree programs. However, when properly planned, this major can serve as an exceptional educational experience for many students.
Associate of Arts
This degree program parallels in content the core curriculum requirements at many colleges and universities. Its requirement of two courses in each of four content areas (composition, humanities/fine arts, social sciences, mathematics/sciences) provides students with the basis for later, more specialized work. The program also enables students who are uncertain about career plans to sample various courses and to determine which areas of study appeal to them most. These areas may then be explored further through electives carefully chosen in cooperation with the program director.

Former England international Ian Wright is flying home from Brazil after his wife and children were burgled at knifepoint.
Four men armed with knives made their way into his north-west London home and held his wife and children before making off with personal possessions.
The 50-year-old pundit, who has been working for ITV at the World Cup, last night tweeted: "You won't get away with it."
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We are investigating an aggravated burglary at an address in north-west London after we were called at 9.20pm last night.
"Personal possessions were stolen. The suspects are described as four black men aged between 18 and 25, with London accents, wearing dark clothing and hoodies obscuring their faces."
The former Arsenal striker dashed back from the World Cup after learning the gang had held a blade to his wife Nancy's throat, The Sun reported.
Wright's manager Steve Kutner told the newspaper : "It was a terrifying ordeal. They marched Ian's wife from room to room.
"I would like to thank ITV for helping Ian to get home as quickly as possible."
Nancy, 39, is thought to have been put in a bedroom while the couple's two girls were taken to another room.
The robbery at Wright's property was the latest in a string of raids on the homes of famous footballers in recent years.
Watford midfielder Alexander Merkel was robbed on the doorstep of his home in Hampstead, west London, by a gang who tried to batter down his front door with mopeds last month.
Wigan Athletic player James McArthur had his FA Cup winner's medal stolen in a burglary at his home along with two wedding rings.
Swansea City head coach and former player Garry Monk was burgled in November last year while he underwent knee surgery.
A number of Merseyside footballers have also been targeted, including Everton and England defender Phil Jagielka, who was robbed at knifepoint at his Cheshire home in 2009.
The homes of England captain Steven Gerrard and then-Liverpool players Peter Crouch and Dirk Kuyt were also raided.
In 2005, former Bolton defender Mark Fish was tied up and robbed after his home appeared on TV show Footballers' Cribs. He was the second victim of raiders following an appearance on the MTV show after former England goalkeeper Ian Walker was also targeted.

Cities of Light - The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain
This film takes viewers on an epic journey back into one of the most captivating and important periods of world history, a centuries-long period when Muslims, Christians and Jews inhabited the same far corner of Western Europe and thrived. Here were the very roots of the European Renaissance. But the fragile union dissipated, destroyed by greed, fear and intolerance. (For more information please click here)
UPF TV- www.islamicspain.tv www.upf.tv/films/cities-of-light
Over a thousand years ago, the sun-washed lands of Southern Spain were home to Muslims, Christians, and Jews living together and flourishing, their culture and beliefs intertwined. Here, the knowledge of the ancients was gathered and reborn. But this world vanished too quickly. Greed, fear and intolerance swept it away.
On Wednesday, August 22, 2007, PBS will presented a nationwide broadcast of Cities of Light: The Rise and Fall of Islamic Spain, a documentary that takes viewers on an epic journey back into one of the most fascinating and important periods of world history.
The two-hour television event highlights the triumphs and achievements of diverse cultures that co-exist and thrive together, but it also depicts the tragedy that ensues when religious extremism begins to rise.
The story weaves together striking feature-film style re-enactments, vivid footage of great Islamic architecture, scenes of Spain's beautiful landscapes, and analysis by world-class historians and scholars to tell a story of vital importance for our contemporary world.
The history of Islamic Spain, as told in Cities of Light, demonstrates that when religious diversity is accommodated within a social and political system, problems and tensions may still exist, but society is able to manage them, generally to the benefit of all. But when governing powers and religious movements reject complexity and insist on a single cultural and religiously centered point of view, then society is likely to see widespread loss for everyone.

AUBURNDALE, Fla. – Led by Eric Perez's 3-for-4 showing at the plate the Profs of Rowan University defeated baseball by the final of 9-3 Sunday afternoon at the Lake Myrtle Sports Complex.
With Sunday's loss UMB dropped to 1-4 on the year, while the Profs improved to 8-2. Rowan who has been one of the top teams in the New Jersey Athletic Conference recorded just two earned runs in the contest, as the Beacons defensive struggles continued in only their fifth regular season contest on a ball field.
Of the nine runs scored by the Profs only two were earned as the Beacons pitching staff continued to produce solid showing after solid showing. Kurtis White (Nahant, Mass.), who has been getting the start at first base, made his collegiate debut on the hill and went 4.1 allowing four runs, two earned, while also striking out one.
The Beacons bullpen also had a strong day and was highlighted by a three K afternoon by Patrick Austin, who went two complete innings late in the contest.
At the plate Todd Ezold (Westfield, Mass.) was 2-for-3 with one run batted in. Charles LaPaglia (Marshfield, Mass.) continued to swing his hot stick as he recorded his first double of the season. Through the first five games of the year, LaPaglia leads the Beacons with a .400 average having recorded six hits in 15 at-bats. He currently has one double, one triple, and a pair of home runs.
Rowan got on the scoreboard in the top of the first on a pair of RBI singles to take an early 2-0 lead. The Beacons answered right back in the bottom half of the second when Gerard Florentino (West Roxbury, Mass.) drove in Matt Consiglio (Southbury, Conn.) on a groundout making it 2-1 in favor of the Profs.
After a scoreless third, Rowan extended their lead to three following a two-run top of the fourth. UMB knowing that they were not out of the game, battled back again, this time scoring two runs in the bottom of the sixth.
Jamill Moquette (Boston, Mass.) led off the inning with a walk, and quickly moved over to third after LaPaglia's double to right center. Consiglio would drive in the first run of the inning on a groundout to short. Ezold then made it a one run affair on his RBI single to center field with only one out on the scoreboard. Rowan would end-up stopping the Beacons rally as they turned a double play to end the inning.
Just as it was starting to look as if UMass was going to break out of their early season funk, the Profs responded in the top half of the next inning with three runs. They then tacked on two more in the ninth to seal the victory.
Baseball will take Monday off before returning to action on Tuesday when they face Springfield College at 11 a.m. at the Chain of Lakes Stadium in Winter Haven.

Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions has acquired all U.S. rights and Canadian ancillary rights to Jonathan Kasdan's teen romancer "The First Time," which debuted at Sundance in January.
The "Friends With Benefits" team of Martin Shafer and Liz Glotzer produced the Kasdan-scripted pic, which was exec produced by Carol Fuchs and Liah Kim.
Dylan O'Brien ("Teen Wolf") and Britt Robertson ("The Secret Circle") star as teens from different high schools who meet at a party. What begins as a casual conversation turns into something more intimate, romantic and complicated than either of them is ready for.
Victoria Justice and Christine Taylor co-star alongside Craig Roberts, James Frenchville, LaMarcus Tucker and Maggie Elizabeth Jones.
"We are absolutely thrilled to be bringing 'The First Time' to Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions and to begin working with them on a fresh, funny and inventive approach to reaching our audience," said Kasdan. "Their enthusiasm for the movie, and for its young stars, makes them the ideal partner."

Do you still have a CD collection? Remember the first time you saw a smart phone? Then you are (probably) not age18-22—the range we tend to think of as "college age."
But that doesn't mean you can't be a college student. The world is full of "non-traditional" students (those aged 25+). In fact, as of 2013 there were roughly 8.2 million students who fell into this category. And there are lots of great reasons to head off to school, no matter how old you are. Did you know you'll probably make more money and be less likely to face unemployment if you have a degree (learn more here)?
If you're thinking about enrolling in college, you're probably also thinking about how much it will cost and worrying about your finances. Concerned your age will make it harder to get financial help? It won't. You'll actually qualify for a lot of the same college financial assistance a recent high school graduate does—and you might even qualify for some special programs geared to non-traditional students.
Ready to finance your college education? Here are six steps to take now:
1. Fill out the FAFSA. Federal student aid, which is part of the U.S. Department of Education, is the country's largest source of student financial aid and provides more than $150 billion in federal grants, loans and work-study support each year.
To find out whether you qualify for aid and how much you qualify for, you'll need to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
According to the experts at U.S. News and World Report, there are three things to keep in mind regarding the FAFSA:
2. Talk to your employer. Many companies have tuition assistance and even scholarships and grants for their employees—your human resource department or manager should be able to help you find out. Lucky enough to have an employer who will pay some of your tuition? Woo-hoo! But be aware that most will require you to stay with the company for a certain amount of time (or face repayment penalties).
3. Consider using a 529 Savings Plan—your own or your child's. These are tax- advantaged plans to help pay for college expenses (learn more about them here). If you have one that you—or your parents—set up in the past, you can still use it now (there's no age limit). What if you opened one for a child that didn't get used? You can transfer it into your name and use it yourself.
4. Check out the Lifetime Learning Credit. This is a tax credit that can be used to help pay for undergraduate, graduate and professional degree courses. There's no limit on how many years you can claim it and it's worth up to $2,000 per tax return. For complete information check out the IRS page on the topic.
5. Apply for scholarships. You might be surprised to learn that many college scholarships don't have an age limit and that some were actually created with non-traditional students in mind. To find options to explore, start here and here.
6. Investigate the benefits of a Student Choice education loan from your credit union. Here's a non-news flash: college is expensive! Many people need to investigate adding a private loan to their mix of funding sources to make their college dreams a reality. If that's true for you, check out the advantages of the Student Choice program by clicking "Find a Loan" at the top of the page.

The annual Autism Society of West Virginia conference was held in Charleston on September 7 and 8, 2012.
I had the honor of moderating the final event of the conference, the Panel of Individuals on the Spectrum. Topics included: the importance of relationships, handeling bullies, the transition into adulthood, and the proposed changes to the DSM-5. Each panel member also discussed the positive ways in which Asperger's syndrome has influenced his or her life.
The panel was comprised of (left to right): Amy Goodman, Christian Bruno, Joseph Galloway, David George, and Blake Kelmar.

Londoners are accustomed to displays of vehicular wealth, but one owner of a Ferrari 599 GTB boosted to 1,000 hp has taken to blitzing the pedestrian-clogged streets in 100-mph bursts. Bet he's totally into Oasis.
If that color seems familiar, its because it's the same shade of "royal blue" applied to the supercars of the Qatari royal family, which often parks outside of Harrod's, which they also own. Reports indicate this Ferrari was bought used, then given a $131,000 upgrade to its one grand horsepower figure.
Metropolitan Police are investigating, although given it's a Ferrari, maybe they should just wait for the call to the fire brigade.

This quote, from the then-Joseph Ratzinger, underscores the erroneous philosophical background rooted in Enlightenment philosophical presuppositions of current topics of debate such as abortion and the attempt to redefine the institution of marriage:
"The attack on tradition became, with them (the French Encyclopedists), ever more fundamental, more conscious, more intense. This movement increased its scope during the age of technical reason. The idea of emancipation is understood today as the radical antithesis of the idea of tradition. All previous value systems are to be unmasked; in his rationality, man becomes the creator not only of himself but also of a world constructed according to his own designs; he forms himself and reality anew in the unconditioned transparency of his own rationality. Philosophically, this concept is expressed in the theory that man was not created according to a preconceived design and is, consequently, free (and, at the same time, obligated by this freedom) to design himself—to determine what man is to be like in the future. This liberation of man from the soil of the earth, from the foreordination to which he owes his existence, is most evident in the notion of perfect dominion over life and death and in elimination of the distinction between man and woman."-Joseph Ratzinger, Principles of Catholic Theology: BuildingStones for a Fundamental Theology

• Commissioners signed a resolution in support of The Nature Conservancy efforts to secure funding from the Laree Macalister Critical Land Conservation Fund for a conservation easement.
The easement would protect Gunnison Sage Grouse on more than 400 acres of private land in the TARB area northeast of Monticello.
The easement would prohibit subdivision on the land.
While Commissioners gave their support to the effort, they expressed concern that predators present a bigger threat to the Gunnison Sage Grouse than does development. The easement would not prohibit predator control in the future.
• Commissioners signed a new state contract for the Aging Department that represents a $19,000 decrease over the previous year.
• Susan DeLorme was hired as the Victims Advocate.
• In other business, two building permits were approved, one for a singlewide trailer on a foundation in Montezuma Canyon, and one for a carport and storage shed near Blanding.
Approval was given for the Road Department to purchase a 2006 Caterpillar scraper for $87,000.
