In return, we got a beautiful performance Sunday night, along with five master classes and two chamber coachings. The classes were taught by Ida Kavafian, Paul Neubauer, Fred Sherry, Kurt Muroki and Carol Wincenc. The coachings were done by Cho-Liang Lin and Tara Helen O'Connor.
I'm collecting feedback from the participants on the classes and coachings. The performance was an evening of concertos – seemingly an odd choice for a chamber music society, but they were all Baroque concertos, so they were perfect for the virtuosic ensembles assembled before us. Handel, Telemann, Corelli and Vivaldi held sway in the first half. The second half featured Bach's fourth and fifth Brandenburgs.
Sharing the stage with the veterans listed above, four outstanding young players made strong impressions: Lily Francis, Arnaud Sussman, Beth Guterman and Priscilla Lee. In particular, Francis and Sussman sparkled as both soloists and ensemble players. And John Gibbons gave a fantastical performance of Handel's B-flat major harpsichord concerto.

Latest figures from the CSEW show that there were an estimated 8.0 million incidents of crime against households and resident adults (aged 16 and over) in England and Wales for the year ending September 2013. This represents a 10% decrease compared with the previous year's survey. This was led by statistically significant decreases in both household and personal crime.
This latest estimate is the lowest since the survey began in 1981. The total number of CSEW incidents is estimated to be 20% lower than the 2007/08 survey, and is now less than half its peak level in 1995.
The police recorded 3.7 million offences in the year ending September 2013, a decrease of 3% compared with the previous year. Police recorded crime figures continue to show year-on-year reductions and the latest figures are 38% lower than 2002/03.

Broward Health North now performs surgery that leaves no visible scar. Drs. Randy Kimmelman, Gary Lehr, Michael Mallis, Camil Sader and Ronald Stricoff from South Florida Surgical Specialists in Deerfield Beach are pioneering the effort at Broward Health North.
They perform gallbladder, hernia, and colon surgery through a single tiny incision with the SILS™ procedure. Standing for Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery, this new technique has revolutionized minimally invasive surgery.
In contrast to the multiple entry points required by traditional laparoscopy, the SILS™ procedure is achieved with one access point through the belly button. This single 20mm incision further enhances the benefits of laparoscopic surgery by reducing the scars and wound pain that may accompany additional sites of entry. The procedure is also known as scarless surgery.
Having the experience they have accrued, Drs. Camil Sader and Michael Mallis began teaching a monthly course on SILS™ targeted to educate surgeons nationwide on this new technique.

In the 1950s, communities throughout the United States built and expanded schools to accommodate the post-war baby boom, the growth in births that defined the decade after World War II. Their sheer size (an estimated 76 million people who account for 26 percent of the population, according to the Pew Research Center) meant boomers would have an influence on practically every facet of "the American way of life." Their ranks forced the creation of new schools, swelled college enrollment, fed the country's ever-growing economic engine and shaped values and perspectives on everything from feminism to civil rights.
Today, boomers are creating another sea change in American life – the rapid expansion of the United States' senior population is responsible for what has been dubbed a "silver tsunami". In the US, 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 years old each day, a staggering number that will once again force the creation of social systems and structures to support its size. While many seniors report that they are prepared to meet the challenges of retirement, health changes and new roles in their communities, a recent study suggests that communities must do more to meet the needs of these new seniors.
The United States of Aging Survey, conducted by UnitedHealthcare, USA TODAY, and the National Council on Aging, reveals that many seniors – and the communities they live in – may face significant challenges in living healthy and independent lives over the next decade. The survey found that nearly one in four boomers in their 60s lack confidence in their community's resources and supports for healthy aging.
Other key findings include:
- Nine out of ten seniors plan to live in their current homes for the next five to ten years, a potential infrastructure challenge for neighborhoods without sidewalks, transit or Americans with Disability Act accessibility.
- While more than 80 percent of seniors feel "safe" walking in their community, a third report that high-quality transportation services are currently unavailable to them.
- Twenty-two percent of seniors are unsure if caregiver supports or services are available in their community, and 28 percent serve as a caregiver to another person.
- Seniors generally report that they are confident in both their personal wellness and their ability to find a primary care physician. Two-thirds of seniors rely on Medicare to pay for health services, and one in four are concerned about their ability to afford the current Medicare costs like deductibles, copays and premiums over the next decade.
The Central Indiana Senior Fund, a CICF fund, works locally to address many of these issues. Find out more about the fund and read related stories about seniors' issues and services in central Indiana.

Off Nicotine Smoking Cessation Program for Primary Care Settings
Case Western Reserve University, 2005 - $17,800This E-Team developed a comprehensive tobacco cessation program that can be used by doctors and nurses in everyday primary health care situations. At the moment doctors typically spend little time trying to convince patients that smoke to quit due to constraints on time and the lack of an efficient, effective cessation program tailored to the clinical setting. The team's program is an adaptation of one they developed and successfully implemented at Case Western, called the "Off (Officially free from) Nicotine" program. The Off program includes four weekly group sessions for smokers that focus on 1) self-assessment; 2) a personal strategic plan for quitting; 3) the cessation session; and 4) relapse prevention. This project allowed for adaptation of the support group format into shorter, individual counseling sessions run by doctors and nurses during regular office visits. Specifically, the team's program includes: a workbook for smokers, with contents based around the smoker's cessation strategy; the employment of a five-step cognitive restructuring procedure, based on a successful four-step procedure used to change behavior in Obsessive Compulsive Disease patients; relaxation techniques involving self-hand and self-ear massage to diminish symptoms of withdrawal; the use of Exhaled Carbon Monoxide (Ex CO) monitors to measure the level of one of the toxic agents in tobacco smoke present in the smoker's body, and to track their progress; and lastly, the development of technology to allow for palmtop/tablet audio administration of the smoker's clinical information, which results in an automatically generated report available to the physician before he enters the room.

2012-13 TORONTO RAPTORS SEASON PREVIEW The Toronto Raptors started off the 2011-12 season with promise, but their year soon turned into one of the more forgetful in the team's history. The Raptors finished with a 23-43 record and ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference, continuing their playoff drought which has lasted since 2008. Hopes are high for second-year coach Dwane Casey, who brought a more tenacious form of defense and players slowly began to buy into his system. Over the course of the offseason, the Raptors made a series of trades to improve their team and believe that their draft could prove to be valuable to the long-term success of the franchise. The big departures from last year's squad include guard Jerryd Bayless who signed with the Memphis Grizzlies, and James Johnson who departed for the Sacramento Kings. In the draft, the Raptors picked up guard Terrence Ross and forwards Quincy Acy and Tomislav Zubcic. In free agency, the Raptors were bold with their transactions, signing Landry Fields to be the team's primary shooting guard. Last but not least, the team made one of the biggest trades of the offseason when they picked up All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry from the Rockets, who should provide a major ball-handling presence to the Raptors' front court. Lowry's arrival should help steady the team's point guard situation, with Jose Calderon moving to a change-of-pace guard which may be better for his style of play. At shooting guard, Terrence Ross will see plenty of playing time behind Fields. At center, the team's 2011 draft pick, Jose Valanciunas has great size for the position and will be backed up by Aaron Gray. The team also boasts a solid group of forwards, including Andrea Bargnani, Amir Johnson and DeMar DeRozen. Unfortunately for the Raptors, their stellar offseason comes at a time when the Atlantic division of the Eastern Conference is as strong as its been in years. The Celtics, Knicks, Sixers and Nets are all expected to be playoff-caliber, so the Raptors will have to be strong out of the gate to avoid dropping in the standings. Ultimately, the Raptors' 2012-13 season will come down to how well the new additions will gel with one another and whether or not the team's younger players can get up to speed as well. What Raptors fans can take confidence in is that their front office is building something good and is certainly well on its way to contending for a title.
Toronto Raptors 2012 NBA Preview: It was a tumultuous 2011 for Toronto, but with a new year the Raptors are looking to build on the blooming career of Italian center Andrea Bargnani, who led the team last year with 21.4 points per game. The European game is very represented here with point guard Jose Calderon pushing it the court. With power forwards Reggie Evans and Amir Johnson showing last year what they could do, it looks like the Raps could be in for a big year if everything goes their way.
2010-2011 Toronto Raptors NBA Preview: The Toronto Raptors lost their two best players in the offseason when Chris Bosh jumped ship to join the Miami Heat, and forward Hedo Turkoglu ended up with the Phoenix Suns. Their absence creates a significant void in scoring, and leaves head coach Jay Triano in a difficult position to try to return Toronto to the playoffs for the first time since 2007.
Without a go-to scorer like Bosh, the Raptors will have to find someone new to provide the bulk of their offense. Point guards Jose Calderon and Jarrett Jack proved they could run the offense, but neither are reliable scorers. Perhaps the most credible option is 7-foot center Andrea Bargnani, who averaged 17.2 points a game last season.
While Bargnani may be a solid scorer, his defense leaves much to be desired and so does the team as a whole. The Raptors were 27th in points allowed last season, giving up an average of 105.9 points per game.
It's not easy to recover from the loss of two franchise players, and Toronto will likely struggle as they attempt to rebuild. 2009-2010 Toronto Raptors NBA Preview: The Toronto Raptors head into the 2009-2010 NBA season with a great chance to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. The talented Raptors lineup includes young stars Andrea Bargnani, Chris Bosh and Jose Calderon. If those three can mesh with younger Toronto players like DeMar DeRozan and Antoine Wright, then expect the Raptors to make some noise in the East.
2008-2009 Toronto Raptors NBA Preview: The Toronto Raptors are a team to watch this season in the NBA. The absence of TJ Ford will be remedied with the exciting presence of Jermaine O'Neal. O'Neal and Chris Bosh will make scoring look easy, and should pave the way for the remaining Raptor defenders to put the pressure on. The Raptors have their work cut out for them in a tough division that includes the New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, and Philadelphia 76ers. Go to a Toronto Raptors game at the Air Canada Center and you can expect to see a fast paced young team playing in front of one of the league's most loyal crowds at a state of the art arena.

Anonymous said: Hello, this is Alina from Createwhatyouimagine- it was not my intent to appear to be stealing your work. I found your article about the "25 things you should know about nanowrimo" a week weeks ago and found it both interesting and informative, so I wanted to share it. I had the entire text quoted, and even sited the source at the bottom. However, I did change some of the exact wording so that it contained fewer swears. That being said, I will respect your wishes and remove the post from my blog.

All of the Pinot Blanc was estate grown on Three Creeks Ranch, one of our three vineyard sites located on the Siskiyou Mountain terrace in the cooler, western reach of Southern Oregons Rogue Valley. We prefer to pick all our Alsatian varieties extremely ripe, fermenting the juice warm (70 degrees) to help bring out the spice and body of the grape. With Pinot Blanc, we hope to pick the fruit after a significant degree of botrytis bunch rot has flourished, as we feel it escalates the quality of the wine produced from this rather neutral grape variety. Botrytis gives the wine its strong ""Alsatian"" character of honeyed richness, lifted nose, and silky, ""full-mouth"" feel. The wine was aged for five months, sur lie, with monthly stirring.
Foris is located in the coastal Siskiyou Mountains just six miles from the Oregon/California border. The diverse Rogue River Valley appellation comprises three distinct valleys with progressively warmer microclimates. Foris produces a Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from its Klipsun Vineyard overlooking the Yakima River in Washington State.
Named for the river that runs through the valley from Portland to Eugene, Willamette Valley is home to some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the Northwest.

Over 700 finance terms, Shmooped to perfection.
The opposite of a progressive tax, this is tax that affects the poor more than the wealthy. An example of a regressive tax is a sales tax--everyone has to pay the same amount of sales tax, no matter what they buy, but 10% extra for groceries is a much greater burden for the poor than the wealthy.

We haven't run out of ideas for ground-tethered systems to http://www.transitofvenus.org/where-to-find-viagra generate electricity by tapping the wind yet. Windmills are the viagra online in canada beginning (though they seem to draw hysterical criticism from some quarters), but we've seen a number of other options, from wind hunting barges to spining blimp turbines to parasails to pull cargo ships.
An assembly looking something like a four rotor helicopter crossed with a glider would rise to jet stream altitudes and viagra from india tap the high speed winds there for power which would be transmited back to the ground via the tether cable. The generator could also be flown, or kept aloft when winds were low by reversing the flow and sending power to the propellers to www.grantontrailers.com keep it flying.
Another proposal covered in the same article would use a series of kites which can alter their configuration. Each kite would be drawn aloft by the winds, pulling out its cable as it went and turning a generator as the line was played out. Once it reached its maximum altitude, it would change shape to catch less wind, allowing it to return back to the ground where it could then begin another cycle. Several of these operating in tandem would allow a station to provide continuous power from a series of these kites rising and falling.

The fact is, nobody knows what art is or why people make it. This is blatantly disturbing. Some say the function of art is to generate conversation—an unpleasant thought. I'm not sure we want to put art in the same category as skin disease and Carl Winslow: things to talk about on the internet.[more inside]
This is why so many of us have a bad time at galleries: we try to make art Interesting when we should just let it be weird. Art should never be Interesting.

Hosius of Corduba
Hosius of Corduba (c. 257 – 359), also known as Osius or Ossius, was a bishop of Cordova and an important and prominent advocate for Catholic Christianity in the Arian controversy which divided the 4th century early Christian Church. He suggested, and possibly presided at the Council of Nicaea and also presided at the synod of Sardica.[1] After Lactantius, he was the closest Christian advisor to the Emperor Constantine and guided the content of public utterances, such as Constantine's Oration to the Saints, addressed to the assembled bishops.[2]
He was probably born in Roman Corduba (as it was then known) in Hispania,[3] [4] [5] although a passage in Zosimus has sometimes been conjectured as the writer's belief that Hosius was a native of Egypt.
Elected to the see of Cordova before the end of the 3rd century, he narrowly escaped martyrdom in the persecution of Maximian (303-305). In 305 or 306 he attended the council of Illiberis or Elvira (his name appearing second in the list of those present), and upheld its severe canons concerning such points of discipline as the treatment of those who had abjured their faith during the recent persecutions, giving rise to the condemned rigorist position of Donatism and questions concerning clerical marriage.
In 313 he appears at the court of Constantine, being expressly mentioned by name in a constitution directed by the emperor to Caecilianus of Carthage in that year. In 323 he was the bearer and possibly the writer of Constantine's letter to Bishop Alexander of Alexandria and Arius his deacon, bidding them cease disturbing the peace of the church; and, on the failure of the negotiations in Egypt, it was doubtless with the active concurrence of Hosius that the Council of Nicaea was convened in 325. He certainly took part in its proceedings, and was one of the large number of confessors present; that he presided is a very doubtful assertion, as also that he was the principal author of the Nicene Creed. Still he powerfully influenced the eventual judgment of the emperor against the party of Arius.
After a period of quiet life in his own diocese, Hosius presided in 343 at the fruitless synod of Sardica, which showed itself so hostile to Arianism; there and afterwards he spoke and wrote in favour of Athanasius.
After Constantine's death, the prestige given to the orthodox cause in the Arianist controversy by the support of the venerable Hosius led the Arians to bring pressure to bear upon Constantius II, who had him summoned to Milan where he declined to condemn Athanasius nor to extend communion to Arians. He so impressed the emperor that he was authorized to return home. More Arian pressure led to Constantius writing a letter demanding whether he alone was going to remain obstinate. In reply, Hosius sent his courageous letter of protest against imperial interference in Church affairs (353), preserved by Athanasius[6] which led to Hosius' exile in 355 to Sirmium, an imperial center in Pannonia (in modern Serbia). From his exile he wrote to Constantius II his only extant composition, a letter justly characterized by the French historian Sebastian Tillemont as displaying gravity, dignity, gentleness, wisdom, generosity and in fact all the qualities of a great soul and a great bishop.
Subjected to continual pressure from the Arians the old man, who was near his hundredth year, was weak enough to sign the formula adopted by the third Council of Sirmium in 357,[7] which involved communion with the Arians but not the condemnation of Athanasius. He was then permitted to return to his Hispanic diocese, where he died in 359.
There is a letter from Pope Liberius to him (ca. 353).

See this project in detail here: Cooking up a Cohesive Brand for a Vintage Jewelry Store.
"Aeolidia designed and implemented our previous website two years ago, and when it became time to upgrade yet again, I didn't consider asking anyone else. What we thought would be a simple "tweak" turned into a major relaunch, with re-branding happening simultaneously.
Aeolidia has a crack team from which they hand-pick the best designer to work on your project, and Mariah didn't disappoint. I sent her my cut-and-scotch taped mockup of what I wanted the logo to be, and she finessed it into a slick (but not TOO slick) logo. She helped me negotiate with printing specialists (something I don't think all graphic designers do), and was always available to answer my tech-ignorant questions without making me feel embarrassed about my lack of digital savvy.
I'm a tough person to please, but Mariah was patient through the many re-designs, and seriously impressed me with her invention of a historically-inspired letterhead design. She helped keep the new logo and look integrated with the site's relaunch to complete our brand's total makeover.
Next up: Aeolidia's doing our lookbook. My advice to other business owners: don't be afraid of working with Aeolidia over email instead of in person (or over the phone). An archive and online hub for your projects are ESSENTIAL."

Charly Thévenet, "Grain & Granit", Régnié 2011 13% abv
The son of famous Morgon producer and "Gang of Four" member, Jean Paul Thévenet, Charly is showing great promise as a winegrower at such a young age. What a delicious bottle of wine! While not as elegant as his father's Morgon, this wine is rugged but intensely expressive. While sipping, I can imagine myself on a stroll through the woods and suddenly stumbling into a big briar patch of wild boysenberries and indulging without restraint. As often seems the case, the last few sips of the bottle are the most generous in flavor. Next time I will try to allow it a bit more time to breathe before diving in.

Part 1 of this blog was all about explaining the background about the Smart Glass project and the excitement surrounding it. Smart Glass provide one step closer towards the merging of the devices together. The future of computing is mobility and the experience provided to the users has to move along with it. Now a days , it's a common scenario when a user may watch a video on TV , move away from his lounge and start playing the video on its tablet or laptop and smart phones.
These new dimensions to the user experience urge the platform developers to provide a holistic user experience across all these devices.
If Microsoft can provide such an experience to the users , it will be a great achievement of the technology. It is important to note that Google (Google TV, Android, ChromeOS) and Apple (Apple TV, iOS, MacOS ) are moving into the same direction. These companies want to provide a cohesive user experience to the user whichever device he is using to access the content (the term content is interesting here which could mean photos, audio, video and even games). However, Microsoft has two edges in this arena
· It is trying leverage the existing platforms and devices rather then shell you few more dollars/pounds out of your pocket. As Xbox and Windows are already household brands.
· Other Competitors are still working with content providers and devices to shape them for the common user's acceptance.
Only Apple hold the ace here too, if it can bring rumored iTV with some interesting features and AirPlay already existing would entice a big slice of consumers.
However, as a consumer I am more happy in either case as it is given me a convergence of platforms and consume my media with more devices. This is future and we have to embrace this future either now or few years later.
As for as Smart Glass is concern, I have little concern as well . For example, due to Apple/Google restrictions, iOS and android Smart Glass will be second class citizen. Similarly, media consumption of content owned by users on their laptops and devices outside of Zune/XboxMusic is not clear as well.
All issues are aside , it's a great news from Microsoft and I am quite excited for multi-screen future.
E3 has just finished. It has always been a Mecca for gaming industry where they want to showcase their best of breed to ensure that are on top of the competitors. E3 always have been waiting for two major reasons a.k.a new games and gaming hardware.
Considering, this time we were expecting Nintendo to show case its tablet based new controller and next generation console, therefore, everybody was expecting that Nintendo would triumph the E3 stage with ease as both Sony and Microsoft has nothing to announce. However, tables turned in different side by the announcement of Smart Glass by Microsoft.
I have been expecting some kind of announcement for Smart Glass before the event but was not sure how much impact it could bring to the gaming industry or infect any digital media industry. It was rumored that this application would challenge the reign of Apple's AirPlay. Which made me wondered, why Microsoft is announcing it on E3 as well.
However, it turned out Smart Glass is a very clever concept from Microsoft. They introduced a competitor for not only Apple by using their new concept with existing set of peripherals but also challenged Nintendo and Sony by bringing a second screen as a controller. This allow the developers to tap into the second screen experience for the users and provide them some kind of similar experience which will extend the gaming experience. Infect Microsoft has been able to demonstrate a better-connected experience then Nintendo itself (infect I was wondering, it was high time Nintendo should come with some hard core game announcements to entice the segment of market, they always chased). However, another notable thing missing in that coverage was the challenge to GoogleTV. I have been following GoogleTV since long and I understand once commonly adopted how much TV is going to change. However, the key thing is currently GoogleTV or similar setups are not adopted widely. Considering users have to buy an extra device to accommodate this setting. However, by using Smart Glass, Microsoft infect given the user a fully controllable Smart TV along with a complete browser.
Some people are wondering that would people be able to have smart phones to be in their home, well, most of Xbox users are expected to be smart phone users anyway. If they are not then you at least expect them to have any kind of windows machine. Which will be another platform where Smart Glass will be available.
Which means Microsoft is bringing following major features via Smart Glass;
Now why I am getting very excited such initiative because this is not really a ground breaking technology at the end as many third part software's are doing some thing similar in one or the other form. For this, you have to wait my next post J.
Its been a while I have touched my site at all until it start stinking recently and many people around me pointed that out to me. But every time, my laziness took over to me. Similarly, like other fellow Pakistanis, I desperately want a change but never really want to dig that hole to find a new light out of it.ooOops , I am getting political here, well thats why I am reshaping this site now to focus on what I really am , hence there comes Technology, Sports and Politics tag line. I know like zillionth of people on the internet, No one care what I write but at the end blogging is all about throwing out the lava within.
However, lets focus on more introductory blog of this site. When I decided enough is enough I know I have to change, I have decided certain objectives for my new site. I am just writing that experience so that anybody keen on moving on that direction could benefit from it..
I wanted a fresh and clean design as compared to last time. I have been quite vocal recently about the clean and simple designs. Therefore, I wanted my site represent my same stance as well. While looking at the different design approaches, I have been sure but when I saw this metro-fied theme, it did not let me past anywhere else. Metro has been bread and butter of Microsoft due to same mantra I was vocal about. Therefore, I thought its probably best to acquire this theme. Its not yet fully metro as I should call it more of metro-inspired them. However, I am going to build on top of it and probably submit to open source as a thank you.
Its been a while I have been thinking to write what I am thinking and experiencing in day-to-day life. Although twitter has given me some of relief but 160 characters are some time not sufficient to express what you want to say (Yes , everyone who knows I am not at good at summary). Last design was more of CMS (Sharepoint) based which means it was about the content but it was never really any content apart from ME , MySELF & I , so it was never really expressed what I want. Therefore, I kept sort of new year resolution this year that it has to Change. Hence I based my new site on rather a blogging engine.
Once I made up my mind, I have two choices, either I go with wordpress (honestly do other PHP blogging tools have any chances against it), but then I wanted to keep my site in .NET platform, therefore, WordPress was out of the question. Hence I researched few of .NET blogging tools, of which DasBlog and BlogEngine.NET came more prominent. I will have to write another blog explaining why I have chosen BlogEngine.NET.
I have Microsoft WebMatrix who has inspired me since its introduction as I have worked with this tool in the past and I always admired its simplicity. All I have to do is to fire up the application, download the BlogEngine.NET's template from the gallery. After that some usual customization of getting theme from their gallery and security updates. There you go…we have the site ready for publishing and WebMatrix has built-in support for web publishing too. All that took me only few hours for this change.
So for now, lets welcome to new site…..

I thought this recipe was just so-so. Followed the recipe, except used an anaheim chili instead of fresno. And I cooked it in the crockpot, not sure if that made a difference. The pork was nice and tender and flavorful, but it tasted way too much like allspice and nothing else. I would have liked more layers of spice. Served on buns with Asian Chicken Slaw (minus the chicken), which wasn't a good match. Pretty boring. I've had -and made- much better pulled pork. It was better the next day with cheddar cheese added.

Building Pressurization with Airflow Control
|LIVE: Facilitator-led
|Offered by
Mt Pleasant, SC 29464
United States
|Indoor environmental quality
Building Pressurization is a major part of having a healthy, efficient, better performing building.
Maintaining a net positive or neutral building pressure helps ensure that outdoor contaminants
and moisture do not enter the building through the building envelope and other unintended
locations. Additional benefits include staying compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act
which requires a certain threshold for door opening force, helping to ensure occupant#s thermal
comfort, controlling isolation zones and preventing wasted energy.
Measuring and controlling airflows is the best method for ensuring compliance with codes and
standards forminimum ventilation and controlling building pressure. Introducing more air into
the building than what is exhausted through the relief air and/or bathroom exhaust is the key to
maintaining a positive building. The main alternative, using a building pressure transducer, has
issues like wind effects on the outdoor reference, locating the indoor reference, pressure
interactions when multipleAHU#s, zones and transducers are involved.
Control diagrams are presented that show how to use airflow measurement to control airflows in
the building.
The links between airflow measurement, building pressurization and LEED 2009 Credits are
discussed. Discussion of the ASHRAE standards are included.
Using airflow monitors to control building pressurization requires accurate, stable devices. The list
of things to consider when specifying airflow monitors is presented.
1. Understand the benefits and issues associated with building pressurization
2. Compare Building Pressure Control Methods: Airflow Control vs. Building Pressure

The fuck...?
Not only was this poorly put together and lacked any actual thought beforehand, it was the opposite of entertaining in almost all ways, the graphics we're horrendous, the music was even more annoying than a crying baby in a movie theater, the controls set you back more than anything else, and the idea overall isn't very unique.
All in all, terrible.

Top news in this Bulletin:
The Afghan-US bilateral security agreement is vital for the future of Afghanistan and can help protect the country from insurgency and terrorism, Afghan Ministry of Interior (MoI) said Tuesday.
Speaking to TOLOnews, MoI spokesman Sediq Sediqi said that the pact would be effective in training and equipping the Afghan security forces and helping enhance security in the country.
Afghan lawmakers on Tuesday asked the government to reveal the names of those involved in land-grabbing and take necessary steps to prevent more cases of land-grabbing.
Land-grabbing is a major issue for the Afghan government as a large number of the high-ranking officials and lawmakers are involved in illegally or forcefully occupying land that otherwise belongs to the public.
A woman was killed and three children injured in cross-border Pakistani shelling in the Sarkano district of the eastern Kunar province Monday afternoon, local officials said.
Twelve rockets were launched yesterday afternoon, one of which hit a house, Provincial Governor Sayed Fazlullah Wahidi told TOLOnews.

Chances are that the guy in these FPSRussia videos is anything but Russian. His English is too perfect and his accent a little to stereotypical. Nevertheless, there is no disputing the prowess of his weaponry, which seems to be anything but fake. In this particular video, aside from hunting for a keg of beer only to destroy it with an M4 Carbine, he shows us a .22 Caliber Knife Gun. Yes, a KNIFE GUN. You know, because stabbing someone in the gut is hardly enough damage. Then again, who ever said "don't ever bring a knife to a gun fight" probably invented this. How it works and where the bullets are stored (probably the handle) is a bit of a mystery, but at least you'll know what to look for the next time you get in a knife fight.
Head to 0:45 to see it in action.

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is currently investigating the following:
Birth and developmental defects, sterility, breast and testicular cancers. NIEHS research seeks to discover how chemicals in the environment, including pesticides that mimic the hormone estrogen, might cause or stimulate these diseases.
The health of our oceans. The state of our ocean's resources is linked to health outcomes of the Earth's population.
Toxicogenomics. This is a scientific field that studies how human genes are involved in responses to environmental stressors and toxins.
Women's health. NIEHS scientists are examining the environmental components of osteoporosis, as well as the postmenopausal release of lead from bone, which can result in osteoporosis.
Alzheimer's and other neurologic disorders. Some scientists believe toxins in the environment may play a role in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease), and other disorders of the immune and endocrine systems. NIEHS research seeks to determine what role solvents, pesticides, and metals may play. Although studies have shown an association between certain modifiable lifestyle factors and a reduced risk for Alzheimer's disease, NIH says that researchers still aren't sure whether these factors can actually prevent the disease.
Lead poisoning. Lead in old paint continues to be a leading environmental hazard to infants and children, and may have effects on fertility and pregnancy. NIEHS is also evaluating various treatments for lead poisoning.
Hazards to the poor. NIEHS grants support health research projects among minority and low-income communities as the poor are more likely to be exposed to lead poisoning at home and hazardous chemicals at work, live near hazardous waste sites, and live where there is air pollution or polluted water.
Agricultural pollution. Agricultural chemicals have increased food production to meet the needs of rising populations here and abroad, but can pose serious health risks at high exposures. NIEHS puts special emphasis on agricultural exposures.
Signal error. Certain environmental chemicals mimic the body's hormonal growth factors by activating receptor proteins at the cell's surface that stimulate cell growth and division. Investigation is underway to determine whether exposure to such chemicals contributes to the development of cancer or reproductive disorders.
Animal alternatives. NIEHS is looking for ways to reduce the number of animals used in research and to find alternatives for animals, by using microbe and tissue cultures whenever possible.
Applying the research. NIEHS provides public and professional education and information on environmental health matters through a number of channels. In addition, they provide training programs for safety and health in hazardous waste handling and cleanup.
Markers. Scientists are working to use indicators, called biomarkers, to better measure the body's exposure to and uptake of toxins. Scientists hope that these measurements can be made by sensitive, noninvasive tests to help provide early warnings of exposures, predict the likely development of diseases and help doctors prevent or limit these diseases.
Health disparities research. NIEHS is working with many key players, including national, state, and local policymakers to understand the interrelationships of poverty, environmental pollution, and health. Among the NIEHS efforts are grant programs to enable local communities to deal with environmental health issues affecting them.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A possible crime led to a vehicle hitting a man in North Spokane on Tuesday afternoon. The victim was taken to the hospital according to police at the scene.
The incident began at the Zip Trip near Division and Augusta around 12:40 p.m. The clerk thought he saw someone shoplifting inside of the store. The clerk told authorities that he went outside to confront the alleged shoplifter.
Police said that is when the alleged shoplifter got into a car, panicked, and backed into a man. Officers said the man who was hit was bent over putting air into his tires. The impact knocked the man over and caused him to hit his head.
The suspect fled the scene northbound on Ruby. Officers described the suspect's vehicle as a light blue, four-door sedan.

Htoo Htoo Wah is the head of the English Department at the Myanmar Institute of Theology, a leading Christian higher education institution in Myanmar. After spending four intense weeks as a visiting scholar at Northern Arizona University, he had a moment to reflect on his experience of U.S. higher education.
In the middle of June, when the team at the IIE Scholar Rescue Fund realized we were facing a third Iraq emergency—as well as requests for help from scholars in many other parts of the world—Senator Leahy of Vermont reminded us why we do this work. He told the story of a man walking along a beach where many starfish had washed ashore. The man was picking them up one by one and tossing them back into the ocean. A passerby noted that there were many hundreds and that the effort was pretty much futile. "Not to the one I just managed to throw back," replied the man.
In an op-ed in the New York Times about the 'world's coolest places,' columnist Nick Kristof writes that "travel can also be an education, a step toward empathy and international understanding." At IIE, we couldn't agree more. In fact, this was one of the most important factors that led to the establishment of IIE in 1919.
Last month, the President of Brazil announced that the Federal Government would provide an additional 100,000 scholarships for Brazilian undergraduates to participate in the Brazil Scientific Mobility Program, which enables them to study during their junior year in the United States and other countries. Currently over 80,000 students are participating in the program. The announcement means that by 2018, some 200,000 will have had the chance to learn another language and study and intern in relevant fields for the country's employment needs.
The reception for Spain's new king, Fulbright and Georgetown alumnus Felipe VI, involved a very long receiving line at the Palace. Besides the setting, which is magnificent and historic, it was the modest event it was proclaimed to be. The guests were divided into a number of immense waiting rooms filled with friends, diplomats, ministers, and military leaders. I am sure there were other Americans, but none that I could see or hear.
Our team has great commitment to the important mission of international education, in-depth understanding of global primary and secondary education, and most importantly, incredible passion for the professional development of K-12 educators.
Recently, it was my privilege to join IIE colleagues Mark Lazar and Daria Housman to attend the graduation of New York University Abu Dhabi's first class. Our Trustee John Sexton had the vision to transform NYU into a global network university offering the opportunity for teaching and research to be conducted on a truly global scale and practically without boundaries, geographic or disciplinary. Generous financial support was available. The one thing NYU needed most to succeed was top students willing to be the first class in Abu Dhabi, and this is what our team helped to find. 50+ different countries were represented in the graduating class.
There are many things I enjoy about my role as the Director of the Global Teacher Programs Division at IIE, but my absolute favorite activity is to notify candidates when they are selected to study, travel, or teach abroad on one of the many IIE-administered professional development opportunities for K-12 teachers.
The day after Crimea broke away from Ukraine, our director in Kyiv shared a message from a grantee and the picture below. The message read: "Today I feel like my home was taken. away from me. Miss you Yalta, Crimea, Ukraine."

It was the Mickey and Minnie Mouse red and pink rolling suitcases that first caught my eye as what seemed like the entire population of Beijing headed to baggage claim. Then I saw the two children that were accompanying the bags and their parents. As we waited for the trains to the exit hall, I had a chance to notice a bit more about what the parents were rolling.

It's not a mattress, it's a smartbed
The newest beds can monitor your sleep throughout the night and post updates on Facebook and Twitter.
This post comes from Geoff Williams at partner site U.S. News & World Report.
Hunting for a new mattress and perhaps trying to take advantage of a sale timed to Presidents Day? That 21st century bed you've been dreaming of isn't just a dream any more. Beds are becoming as high-tech as phones, cars and televisions, and as varied as the brands of toothpaste and shampoo.
The most popular mattresses are still made of inner springs, but consumers can sleep on substances like gel foam, latex foam, memory foam or even just air.
Options include pillow-top, stuffing made of organic and natural -- that is, chemical-free -- materials and orthopedic mattresses. If you're buying a frame to go with it, you can go with an adjustable one, with which the sleeper's head and feet can be elevated.
But mattress shopping is about to get even more complicated -- or exciting, depending on your point of view. Every year, right about this time, the Las Vegas Furniture Market, a world-renowned industry trade show, finishes unveiling the latest and greatest in mattresses. According to reports from attendees, mattresses of the future will arrive this year, and it means that sleeping could get expensive.
Your mattress 2.0
People used to hide their money under the mattress. These days, though, the sleep industry is doing whatever it can to convince people to spend their money on the mattress rather than save some for "safe" keeping.
Frank Hood doesn't pretend otherwise. Hood is the president of Kingsdown, a maker of premium mattresses and sleep solutions headquartered in Mebane, N.C. Hood says he would like the mattress industry to pick up a few lessons from what the cellphone industry has done.
"You have a 23-year-old man or woman who will spend $600 on a new telephone every year and then spend $140 every month for the service," says Hood, who marvels that "people will spend $20,000 in 10 years on a communications device, but pause when they consider spending $2,000 on a surface that they're going to be lying down on every night."
Don Wright, who recently stepped down as chairman of the International Sleep Products Association, utters a similar lament. "It's one of the most necessary purchases you'll ever make. It completely has to do with your quality of life, and yet people ignore it," Wright says. "Our body changes a thousand times in 10 years, but people will hang onto a bed for 20 years."
Hood's company recently unveiled its line of Sleep Smart mattresses, which will be available at retailers in August and will cost more than the average person's sleep space. The queen mattress, box spring and base, for instance, is expected to retail for $10,000.
The beds can monitor a sleeper's movements, recognize if someone is in pain (say, from playing too much basketball that day) and respond by easing the pressure on the mattress. If you suffer from insomnia or sleep apnea, or you're just keenly interested in how you're sleeping, the mattress can give you a daily report of how much you slept and how well you slept. Over time, you can see how your sleep patterns are changing.
If you choose, you can have your bed tweet or send Facebook status updates of your sleep performance. If that scares you, there's no requirement to interact with your Sleep Smart bed. "You can just plug it in the wall and let the science of the 8 million profiles of human bodies and $4 million of research that went into this bed do the work," Hood says.
Your bed as Wi-Fi hotspot
Martin Rawls-Meehan, the CEO of Reverie, a mattress and sleep system manufacturer in Silver Creek, N.Y., is equally enthusiastic about the industry. His company just unveiled its 7S -- a high-tech adjustable bed base that should be in stores in March (the queen size will retail for $6,000). It can support any adjustable-friendly mattress, and the bed can also be used in conjunction with an app for tablets and smartphones, available on Apple iTunes and Google Play.
The app turns your tablet or smartphone into a remote that can adjust the mattress, channel-surf on the TV and turn the lamps on and off.
But are mattresses getting too smart? If the industry designs beds as hotspots to hang out, will we end up sleeping less? It's a question Rawls-Meehan says sleep experts have raised, but he says the industry is simply trying to give consumers what they want.
He says that if you can keep your bedroom gadget-free, go for it. But for those who can't quite get there or don't want to, it's up to the sleep industry to accommodate those consumers.
"You start seeing how your nieces and nephews have mastered the iPad at the age of 3, and you realize these gadgets are going to become an extension of people's limbs at a certain point," Rawls-Meehan says. "The wired bedroom is here to stay."
