The Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group is a new type of charity. They incubate sustainable businesses that tackle some of the world's most pressing social, economic and link for you buy cheapest levitra environmental needs by using smart sustainable technologies. Their founder and Executive Director, Peter Haas, took a few minutes to answer some questions from EcoGeek.
EcoGeek: What is The Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group (AIDG)?
Peter Haas: AIDG is a new international development charity that is tramadol with out prescriptions and fedex focused on incubating small-scale enterprises for renewable energy, sanitation and water systems for rural villages. We work through a combination of education, outreach and business incubation to create a sustainable set of services that provide for the infrastructure needs of villages whose populations make between 2 and 4 dollars per day.
EG: Where are AIDG enterprises located?
PH: Right now we are working in Guatemala in a region within about a 150-mile radius of Quetzaltenango, which is in the www.fluestertuete.de northern part of www.massing.de Guatemala up near the Mexican border, and we are just starting to online viagra experment work in Haiti. Our operation in Guatemala runs one business called Xela Teco (pronounced Shay-la Teco), our first business, which is focused on hydroelectric systems, bio-gas, solar systems, water treatment and water pumping. Our next business in Haiti is going to be focused primarily on bio-gas. We also plan on starting a few smaller businesses in Guatemala focused on other appropriate technologies.
EG: When was AIDG formed?
PH: AIDG was formed in 2004 but didn't really get started until January of 2005 when we got our nonprofit status. We did our first outreach project in the highlands of Guatemala in April of 2005 and by August of 2005 we started Xela Teco.
Xela Teco is a for profit company. We provide training, tools, equipment and very low interest loans.
EG: How did you start Xela Teco?
PH: We started in 2005 with a group of young engineers we found in the Quetzaltenango region who were either unemployed or extremely underemployed. Many of them had substantial technical training but there were absolutely no jobs or opportunities for them. To give you an example, one of buy canadian levitra online our electronics workers had been supporting himself primarily by weaving, and our hydroelectric engineer had been working in an unrelated field.
What we have found is the capacity of local talent in places like Haiti and Guatemala is substantial. There is an incredible amount of human capital that is completely untapped. The problem is the best site generic viagra next day delivery not a lack of talent in these places, the problem is a lack of opportunity.
EG: Xela Teco is a for-profit business. Have there been any surprises by working in the open market? What sells?
PH: Right now, micro-hydro power and when will viagra be generic biogas are popular. We also have developed wind power, and efficient, clean-burning wood stoves.
EG: Let's talk about your recent expansion into Haiti. What is your business focus there?
PH: We are starting a project in Cap-Haïtien, the second largest city with a population of 500 – 800 thousand. Only about 30% of the residents have access to real sanitation. Right now solid waste goes directly into the cialis at real low prices ocean or into canals that wash into the ocean. We are working with the mayor's office there, Oxfam and a couple of local NGOs to develop a municipal scale treatment center outside of the city. We are going to provide a solid waste treatment plant and the supporting infrastructure for a larger percentage of www.investordaily.com.au the population. Our goal is to create a municipal scale biogas production facility and use smaller scale biogas for areas where our infrastructure can't reach. There are places in Cap-Haïtien where latrines are used but they are just a few feet above the water table and people have wells directly next to the latrines. This creates contamination and disease. We are working to develop appropriate scale biogas in these places.
EG: How do you think you can make money providing sanitation?
PH: Our goal for this and all of our projects is that the businesses we incubate should be able to support themselves within their local economy. We have a very low lending rate. We are not looking to good choice canadian healthcare make a lot of money, we're looking to provide a service. The question is whether the business can make enough money to sustain itself. Right now there are people making their livings off of cleaning latrines. They do this with just shovels and good choice canadian pharmacy levitra wheelbarrows. They go into the latrine waste deep in excrement and they shovel it into a wheelbarrow. They drag the material off to a pit or they drag it to the ocean and dump it there. Our goal is to help them organize their business and to get better equipment so that they can process more latrines at a lower cost and to make some beneficial use of the material.
Bio-gas made from the waste is something we can sell to local industry such as pottery kilns. Profit from the sale of gas will help the bottom line.
EG: Where will AIDG be in 5 years?
PH: I hope AIDG will be a multi-regional international charity. Operating is several sub-tropic regions - Latin America, the Caribbean , South America, Africa and Oceana. And in each of those regions we will reach a point where we will have formalized our training techniques so that we can incubate several enterprises that will have greater skill sets to draw upon. For instance there has already been interest to cialis with mastercard develop multi-discipline enterprises like Xela Teco in Haiti. We hope that eventually as we develop as an organization we will be able to incubate different businesses to respond to the pronounced needs in many different regions.
EG: What are your most pressing needs?
PH: Access to funding and financiers, and connections to industry and we use it best cialis prices people who have experience with community scale infrastructure. Some international development charities started with significant resources. We are a grassroots organization. Xela Teco began with $800.00 and a bag of only here online cialis uk tools.
We are starting to improve our funding base. We've found that foundations are very conservative in their investing strategy. Individual donors are the people who make investments in new and risky and exciting enterprises like AIDG. Our goal is to spread the it's cool cheap cialis generic word about us to attract the attention of some of those private donors who might be interested.
EG: How can EcoGeeks help?
PH: One of the biggest things EcoGeeks can do chinese viagra pills to help is by promoting the idea of design for the other 90%. This is we like it levitra 100 an area that global fortune 500 profit making world ignores. There are not a lot of companies designing things for people who make only a few dollars per day.
I believe more people thinking these problems and designing things that benefit these people, will be a great help. Finding new ways of getting new sustainable technologies out there and actually investing in new companies to how to get levitra in canada get things out there will also help. With more minds working on buy online pharmacy viagra the problem it is more likely that poverty is going to go away in the next 100 years. I'm a firm believer that we have all the tools and resources we need to eliminate abject poverty – to get rid of the terrible grinding stuck at the base wage level poverty. As a global society we are going to see the end of poverty within the cheap cialis find next 100 to 150 years. One of the things that is really going to help make this change is investment in companies that produce products that help people who are at that base income level in the same way that scores of products are made for people living at the level of viagra no prescription required people in the U.S. and Europe.

We are keen on any information on the "Bio-latrines" that you may have. This is linked to "energy and sanitation" especially in rural areas- where population might be increasing and sources of fuel (raw bomasss) decreasing. http://www.rescueweb.org for more details -

Arizona Coyotes
'Yotes Notes: Phoenix Coyotes fall to defending Stanley Cup champions
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a hockey game. So, we will give you 'Yotes Notes, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from the Coyotes' 4-2 loss to the Kings on January 26.
The Good:
Despite the 4-2 loss, Mikkel Boedker continues to find his groove. He scored his first goal of the season on the power play at 3:57 of the second period. With the goal he now has a four-game point streak to start this season.
The Bad:
The Coyotes start the season with a 1-4-0 record. They've allowed 20 goals so far this season. They also gave the LA Kings their first win of the season. They were 0-2-1 coming into Saturday Night.
� Including Saturday, Radim Vrbata has recorded a point in 48 of 82 games since the start of the 2011-2012 season. Vrbata led the team with five goals and seven points against the Kings last year.
He Said It:
"It's frustrating the way things are going for us right now. It's a matter of execution," Coyotes head coach Dave Tippett said. "Simple plays that gotta get made. I like to think we don't beat ourselves much. Usually you earn the right to win."

Once upon a time…
On a brisk bitter November evening, the forest almost looked enchanted; icicles hung delicately from branches, decorating the high pine trees. A sheet of pure white blanketed the ground, making footsteps sound crisp as they crunched through the fallen snow. As soon as evening fell, the forest transformed into a savage hunting ground, the prey being any brave soul who stumbled into the thick dark forest. Anyone brave enough to get lost amongst the shadowy darkness, wouldn't come out alive, as this was where the three bears lived.
Goldilocks, a young homeless girl, with feral untamed dirty blonde hair, framing her long thin face like a mane, was passing by the bear's house that day. Goldilocks was skinny and sickly looking, with skin as pale as the snow surrounding her, accentuated by the rags of scarlet clothing she wore the dirt looked black and grimy stuck under her uncut fingernails. Goldilocks was a very curious girl and realising no one was inside the house, she slyly prised open the window and slid inside.
Three bowls were laid out on a pine wood table, each bowl in size order, gradually getting smaller. Goldilocks was ever so curious and peered over to see what was inside the bowls. Goldilocks reeled back in pure disgust, never had she seen such a putrid sight, leaving a disturbing image in her naive mind. Goldilocks was just so famished; she hadn't eaten in three whole days.
Once more she pondered about the items in the bowls, "maybe just a taste" she thought.
Goldilocks picked up the biggest bowl and prodded it with her spoon. "Far too much" she thought. In the largest bowl there was the decaying head of a human corpse, a pretty young female, aged around 18. The blood had dried and gone crisp, marking the corners of her shocked mouth. Goldilocks was envious of how pretty the eyes of the decapitated head looked, staring straight at her, burning into her soul. Goldilocks picked up the metal spoon and gouged the left eyeball out with precision and skill. The eyeball rolled off the table and hit the ground with a splat, spreading all over the floor like the yolk of an egg. Goldilocks then proceeded to stamp on the remains of the eyeball, squelch; blood spurted out and pooled in a scarlet puddle.
Goldilocks moved on to the middle-sized bowl, looking at it she thought "too bloody." In the middle sized bowl there was the heart and lungs of a human. The conorary valve pulsated, the blood erupting from the centre, crying red. With a sigh Goldilocks moved to the smallest bowl on the table, "perfect!" She cried. In the smallest bowl there was a human small intestine, she instantly got to eat it, licking the blood that had dribbled down her chin.
Goldilocks had never had a meal this filling in many months; her potbelly stretched and hung over the waistband of her size too small, dirty pink skirt. A satisfactory smile crossed over her blood stained lips; pure delight flickered in her hazel eyes. Bloated and heavy Goldilocks dragged her feet over to the living room, where sat three very different chairs. With a deep exhale Goldilocks slumped down on the largest of the chairs, dirty beige worn leather with metre long scratches grooved deep into the arms of the chair. Large questionable patches of crimson stains covered the chair like paint splodges on an artist's pallet. Goldilocks' scrawny body looked shrunken and frail, in the enormous chair. "Far too big "she thought aloud. There were 2 chairs left, one middle-sized chair, and pale pink and cushioned with a printed homely floral pattern and an eggshell white lace trim. Draped lazily over the arm of the chair was a woollen warm midnight blue blanket. To the left of the middle-sized chair was one small chair, upright and uncomfortable, crafted from bleak pine, from the trees that surrounded the house, rough and splinted encapsulating the natural pine.
Goldilocks took the obvious choice, plonking herself down on the middle sized chair. Goldilocks thrust her hand down the side of the arm, rooting around. She seized a large square object, one side was rough and the other was smooth cardboard. Whilst yanking the object out, she realised what was in her hand, a small smile played on her lips, a voice echoed in her head. "Good girls don't play with matches" It was the voice of her late mother.
Swiping the wooden match across the rough striking surface it flickered and an orange light appeared at the end of the match head. "How wonderful" she thought to herself. Goldilocks sat in the middle-sized chair and watched the match burn for a while, the light was so therapeutic it was making her slowly lethargic, and that's when she realised how long it had been since she had actually had a good night's sleep.
Goldilocks screamed a loud a piercing scream. An immense pain struck her fore and index fingers. She dropped the match, and instantly forgot the beautiful hypnotising orange light. Goldilocks ran into the next room trying to find a tap to cool her throbbing burnt fingers. Running to the white marble sink she frantically twisted the tap; it gave a high-pitched squeak, as it turned. Flakes of rust flickered off, speckling the pure white marble of the sink. Goldilocks thrust her burnt finger under the cool pure water. Goldilocks gave a sigh of relief; she turned her head to get a full view of the room she was in. Instantly, she forgot about the pain, as soon as she saw the most enormous four-poster dreamy bed. Every second spent looking at the bed, the more irrelevant the pain in her finger became.
Taking a deep breath Goldilocks fell dramatically backwards, both arms outstretched and her eyes closed, time seemed to pass in slow motion as she awaited the connection with the large springy bed. Waves rippled throughout the mattress, beneath her light body. Her head fell on the lush pure white silk cushions. Where the light cracked through the wide framed window, Goldilocks could see thousands of microscopic dust motes dancing in the air. Somewhere in the house Goldilocks could feel a roaring fire, gently warming her to sleep, Goldilocks sighed, and stretched out on the large bed, and softly closed her eyes. Her breathing evened out, and the only noise that could be heard in the house, was a crackling of a fire.
When three shadows crossed the house, in descending order of size, there was no longer a house, just the distinct smell of burnt flesh and singed hair. In the middle of the smoky grey haze sat a few small charred bones crumpled in a pile, caked in black tar.

Why Citigroup's Pandit had to go
After the bank's CEO resigned, its reputational value got a boost.
By Nir Kossovsky
Reputation is about what the market expects a company to do, and why it rewards some companies and punishes others. The market expects banks to harness their balance sheets to create proportionately sized products of value, services of benefit and returns on investment. Reputational value is how the market rewards a company for meeting expectations.
Citigroup (C) was in the midst of a reputational value crisis, so reputational value wonks were not surprised when Vikram Pandit recently stepped down as the bank's chief executive officer.
For four of the six stakeholder groups whose behaviors determine reputational value, the change is positive. One stakeholder group -- the board of directors -- was a clear winner. Two other stakeholder groups -- creditors and equity investors -- can now be expected to reward Citigroup with a lower cost of capital. The fourth is regulators, who now have a cleaner slate to work with. Michael Corbat, the incoming CEO, can therefore concentrate his efforts on making Citigroup the bank of choice for customers and employees.
The reputations of companies and CEOs are often conflated. Serial studies over 10 years by Weber Shandwick's chief reputation strategist, Dr. Leslie Gaines-Ross, suggest executives believe that 50% of a company's reputation is attributable to its CEO. In a May 2012 update, 66% of the general public said their perceptions of top leadership also affected their opinions of company reputations from a great deal to a moderate degree. Only 7% said there is no link.
Because Citigroup's reputation under Pandit's leadership was not in the ballpark of a sector behemoth, equity investors registered their frustration with unmet expectations. They are valuing Citigroup with a price-to-book ratio of only 0.61 while valuing JP Morgan Chase (JPM), another behemoth, 49% higher at a ratio 0.92. They also registered their delight with the news by boosting Citigroup more than 4% since the resignation was announced.
But reputation has measurable value far beyond market capitalization. A better reputation translates into value from all stakeholders: customers will accept higher prices, vendors and employees offer better terms for their services, creditors offer better terms for capital, and regulators tend to be more forgiving. It should not be surprising that Warren Buffet would tell his employees: "Lose money for the firm, and I will be understanding. Lose a shred of reputation for the firm, and I will be ruthless."
Creditors should come around soon. While in the immediate aftermath Moody's warned it could cut Citi's rating from Baa2, evidence shows that, all things being equal, companies with better reputations have lower credit costs. The costs of debt can easily shift downward 60 basis points in the setting of a better reputation, and credit default swap prices show similar effects.
Regulators will have an easier go of things, which can only benefit Citigroup. Sheila Blair, the former head of the FDIC, told Bloomberg radio that Pandit's resignation was very positive. Insiders told the Financial Times that the bad relationship between Pandit and regulators was a factor in the Federal Reserve's rejection in March of Citi's proposal to buy back shares and increase its dividend payments.
In fairness, Citigroup's reputation is not awful. The Steel City Reputational Value Metrics, which power the RepuStars Variety Corporate Reputation Composite Equity Index calculated by S&P/Dow Jones Indexes, show Citigroup's rankings and value volatility are middling.
Among 250 companies in the super sector of banks, holding companies and security brokerages, Citigroup last week ranked in the 56th percentile on Steel City Re's CRR, a measure of relative reputational standing. The company ranked in the 46th percentile on the RVM, a measure of reputational value volatility. Not surprisingly, Citigroup was rewarding equity investors with trailing 12-month returns in the 49th percentile. The figures are vastly improved from just earlier this year. In late January, the same metrics had values corresponding to the 10th, 36th, and 17th percentile.
But as is often the case, better may not be good enough. None of these levels are what would be expected for such a huge balance sheet. Goldman Sachs's (GS) recent CRR was in the 88th percentile and its RVM volatility was in the 40th percentile. JP Morgan Chase's CRR was the 77th percentile and moving upwards with a greater RVM volatility ranking in the 65th percentile.
Mediocre metrics alone are not necessarily the undoing of a CEO. Lose value and shareholders will support management as long as management's reputation for eventually rewarding shareholders remains intact. The investors' message also comes with a warning. Lose value, signal disregard for shareholders and cause shareholders to expect little from management, and they will fight on pay or seek the removal of management and/or the board.
Citigroup's reputational value crisis became one the board of directors could no longer ignore when shareholders voted down Pandit's pay package -- a package whose magnitude was inconsistent with expectations.
Studies show that greater respect goes hand in hand with greater CEO salary in the financial sector. Barron's Respect scores, a survey-based measure of equity investor sentiment, explained 27% of the variance in salary levels among CEOs of the world's largest financial institutions, and each additional full notch of additional Barron's Respect translated to an additional $800,000 in salary.
Three companies stood apart from the 2012 model. Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) had the second highest mean Barron's Respect score among the largest financial institutions, just behind Visa (V). Visa's CEO's nominal salary was $4.23 million and was low relative to the respect earned from investors. Berkshire's CEO, one of the five wealthiest men in the world, took home only $490,000 in salary, an exceptionally low nominal salary that is heavily supplemented with contingent compensation.
At the other end of the spectrum, Citigroup had the second lowest mean Barron's Respect score, just above AIG (AIG). While AIG's CEO's salary was $3.02 million, and his compensation package was approved by 99.19% of the votes cast, Citigroup's CEO's nominal salary was significantly above the trend line at $7.02 million; his compensation package was approved by only 45% of the votes cast.
The board had to act. Ann Murray, partner at McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP, a law firm, warns that boards need to act defensively and anticipate shareholder reaction. "Failed" say-on-pay votes triggered derivative litigation against directors in about 20% of the cases in 2011.
In summary, the reputational value impact of Vikram Pandit's departure helps explain why 70% of corporate directors rank reputation as their firm's topmost concern, and why 71% of S&P 500 companies now disclose the materiality of reputation risk in their annual reports. It also explains why a diversity of insurance products have popped up over the past 18 months to address various aspects of reputation and reputational value risk -- reputation has significant value.

This week saw the last meeting of my public speaking course. In some ways I am glad it was coming to an end and other ways I will miss it. I think over the three weeks you build up a bond with the other people in the course. As they have gone though the hardship of public speaking with you.
Show What You Mean
The task this week was to use body movements in your speech. The idea is to add another dimension to your speech and showing the audience what you mean.
- To learn the value of gestures and body movements as part of a speech.
- To explore the different ways of using body language.
- To develop a sense of timing and natural, smooth body moment.
- Time: Three to five minutes.
Taking on board the feedback from last week, I set out to have a very well structured talk and having a good opening and closing line. I started out thinking of some thing I know very well hackerspaces. I took out a bank piece of paper and brain stormed for a few minutes. I just wrote down bullet points. I then left it for a few days. Over the weekend we had the hackathon in TOG. I knew there would be other people in the space, so I wrote all my points up on the black board in the common room for everyone to see. Other people then started to shout out great ideas. My opening line came from their suggestions "Hello my name is … and I'm a hacker" . Taking in all the points I went off to write the speech and put all these ideas into some sort of order.
After writing out the speech I posted it to the TOG irc channel, I went though a number of revisions getting feedback each time from the hackerspace members. Here is a copy of the speech I transfraed to flash cards.
Main points
- Mass media definition of a hacker.
- Don't believe the hype.
- Home Brew Computer Club.
- My definition of a hacker.
- What is a Hackerspace.
- Hackerspaces in Ireland.
- Why I like the term.
Over all I think the speech was very good. I think I did well specking. I did not hit all the objectives in this task, as was clearly shown in the feedback I received. I started out well using my hands and moving around. But from the middle to end I did not to many hand moments. As always with toastmaster you are given feedback on how your performed.
Strong points
- Speaker very much at home with topic
- Excellent preparation.
- Confident Manner
- Animated, friendly friendly expressions.
- Great opening.
Areas of improvement
- Body movements some what awkward at the end.
- Posture at the lectern.
- Use bigger flash cards and less of them.
I will take the feedback on board for the next talk I do. After the tea breck we had another table topices sessions which I found great fun.
Overall I enjoyed the course very much. In the beginning I was second guessing myself for signing up for the course. I did not want to do any public speaking. But being forced to get up there every week and speak in front of people was well worth it. I would like to thank Engineers Ireland for providing this free course and the Engineers Toastmasters for teaching it. I would recommend it to anyone. I also think public speaking is some thing you get better with practice. That is where toastmasters clubs come in. After looking it up , I was amazed with the number of clubs in Dublin. As my college work is taking up a lot of my time, I wont commit myself to going to their meetings but after college I will try and go.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway could receive public funding for up to $100 million in improvements under legislation that's expected to be introduced today in the Indiana General Assembly.
Republican state Sen. Michael Young of Indianapolis is expected to introduce the bill that would create a special district to collect existing taxes from the surrounding area for investment at the track.
Track officials say improvements would include new video boards, better lighting and more modern grandstands at a cost of up to $100 million.
IMS offcials say that this is a way to make the Speedway more competitive in the sports and entertainment world.
The speedway has not asked for public subsidies before, though the Indianapolis Colts and Indiana Pacers have received substantial government financing for new stadiums.
Speedway officials said other U.S. racetracks have received public funding, including Texas Motor Speedway, which is getting more than $100 million.

There is not
morbid poetry
to explain
i feel.
There is not
morbid poetry
to explain
i feel.
Flesh is heretic.
My body is a witch.
I am burning it.
Yes I am torching
ber curves and paps and wiles.
They scorch in my self denials.
How she meshed my head
in the half-truths
of her fevers
till I renounced
milk and honey
and the taste of lunch.
I vomited
her hungers.
Now the bitch is burning.
I am starved and curveless.
I am skin and bone.
She has learned her lesson.
Thin as a rib
I turn in sleep.
My dreams probe
a claustrophobia
a sensuous enclosure.
How warm it was and wide
once by a warm drum,
once by the song of his breath
and in his sleeping side.
Only a little more,
only a few more days
sinless, foodless,
I will slip
back into him again
as if I had never been away.
Caged so
I will grow
angular and holy
past pain,
keeping his heart
such company
as will make me forget
in a small space
the fall
into forked dark,
into python needs
heaving to hips and breasts
and lips and heat
and sweat and fat and greed.
When the lights go out and the underwear is rolled back on, when I lay here frustrated in the dark, my thoughts wander. Terrible places they go. Places I surely never would stray. I stroke the xylophone lines of thin-thick long-short scabs and scars down my thigh, carelessly whispering to the darkness in the corners, "Why haven't I died? What could be my purpose here? My work is failed, done." The darkness rarely answers. It simply stares with bright eyes and sharp teeth, chittering in tongues I have yet to learn. When it does answer, it leaves another scar.

Lewiston, ME – The Worcester Sharks could not contain Andy Miele, who finished Saturday's game tying a career-high five-point night and his first career hat trick as a professional, as the Pirates defeated the Sharks 5-1
On the night of the Pirates' annual Teddy Bear Toss, presented by Central Maine Medical Center, Miele gave the hometown fans plenty to cheer about. At 15:47 of the first, Andy Miele opened the scoring with an unassisted shorthanded goal, sending hundreds of teddy bears cascading over the boards and onto the ice. In total, 320 bears were collected to be donated to Lewiston/Auburn first responders.
The Pirates extended their lead in the second when Rostislav Klesla beat Sateri from the slot. After receiving a drop pass from Brandon Yip, Miele started down the left wing boards and feathered a pass onto the stick of Klesla who one-timed it past the Worcester netminder.
Miele then gave the Pirates a three-goal lead at 11:26 in the second, scoring on a semi-breakaway. Chris Brown found Miele streaking towards the Sharks end and hit him in stride, allowing Miele to easily skate past the defender and fire a quick wrister past Sateri.
In the third, the Sharks began tried to climb their way back into the game with an early goal, but it was no use as Miele continued his strong performance, completing his hat trick on the power play shortly after the Sharks goal. Miele's hat trick was the second three-goal game on a Teddy Bear Toss night this season in the AHL and the first hat trick for the Pirates since Phil Lane did it last season on April 20th against the Connecticut Whale.
Jordan Martinook would tally the final Pirates goal, scoring on a rebound in front of Sateri and putting the icing on the cake.
Miele's five-point night falls one short of the Pirates' team record of six, last done by Ryan Getzlaf on Dec. 7, 2005. Miele scored one goal shorthanded, one on the power play and one even strength. Miele now has 130 career AHL points (45 goals, 85 assists), putting him 17th all-time in Pirates history, and leads the Pirates this season with 23 points (10 goals, 13 assists).
The Pirates next game is Dec. 20 when they continue their VIP Cup Series when they travel to Manchester to take on the Monarchs. Friday's game can be heard on the Pirates flagship stations WPEI 95.5/95.9 FM as well as WEZR AM 1240 in the Lewiston/Auburn area and WTME AM 780/1450 in Oxford County. The game can also be heard online at portlandpirates.com by clicking "Listen Live" and can be seen live on AHL Live at ahllive.com. The pregame show starts at 6:40 with Jeff Mannix.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 16th at Las Vegas, which wasn't exactly his idea of a good time.
But it wasn't all bad, either, as Earnhardt Jr. moved up to 15th in points and is in decent position heading out of the West Coast swing.
So will it be baby steps for his team at this point?
"I hope not," Earnhardt Jr. answered quickly. "I don't want it to be, you know? We're not [freaking] stupid, you know? We made a lot of dumb s*t happened last year. I think we're a better team, we're mentally prepared to run these races."
Earnhardt Jr. ran around or in the top 10 until about two-thirds through the race, when he was lapped by then-leader Jeff Gordon.
He took the wave-around to get back on the lead lap after a caution and gained a few positions, but couldn't make up much more ground.
"Once you get outside that top five, man, it's just so hard," he said. "The air is gone off the cars and you're just at the mercy of what's going on around you and there's no downforce. It just feels so much better running in the top five and I just couldn't keep it there."
His pit crew didn't help either. It lost a few positions for him on pit road – and the driver said he lost a few on the track as well.
Team owner Rick Hendrick said the team has "made a lot of improvements," but can't put together a complete race.
"It seems like every time the car's good, the pit crew screws up," Hendrick said. "If the pit crew's good, something breaks on the car. I think they've made a ton of improvement and will have a really good year."
Earnhardt Jr. echoed that sentiment, saying the chassis and engines were capable, but "we just gotta put all the components together."
He said after seeing teammates Gordon and Jimmie Johnson dominate the race, "the first thing you think about is studying their notes a little bit harder."
Earnhardt Jr.'s right front kept hitting the ground, he said, so he could have used more spring in that area – which is something Gordon's car had.
Asked if he wished the caution lights had malfunctioned again when he needed it to prevent from going a lap down, Earnhardt Jr. chuckled and said no.
"No, I like the green flags, even if we're going backwards," he said. "I like to get this sh*t over with and go home."

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - EU regulators asked Visa Europe's customers and rivals to assess its offer to cap inter-bank credit card fees at the same level as competitor MasterCard
Visa Europe, which is the European licensee of Visa Inc.
The network, which accounts for about 41 percent of all payment cards issued in Europe, subsequently offered to cut its inter-bank credit card fees by about 40-60 percent, to 0.3 percent of the value of each transaction.
The Commission unveiled details of the proposal last month, which also included revamping rules making it easier for businesses to seek better cross-border deals from competing banks.
"The Commission is now seeking feedback on these proposals from interested parties through a market test," it said in a statement on Thursday. The executive EU body acts as antitrust regulator across the 27-country bloc.
"If the proposals address the Commission's competition concerns, the Commission may decide to make them legally binding on Visa Europe."
Accepting the offer would mean no finding of wrongdoing nor any fine for Visa Europe.

David Moyes should welcome back Marouane Fellaini and Steven Pienaar to his squad after the pair completed their two-match bans against Spurs last weekend. Defender Tony Hibbert managed 67 minutes for the Club's Under-21s on his comeback from calf surgery on Monday and could be available for selection. Phil Neville sat out Sunday's trip to White Hart Lane.
Shaun Wright-Phillips, Luke Young and Samba Diakité are all doubts for QPR.
Last five: WLWWD
Last outing: Tottenham Hotspur 2-2 Everton, Sunday 7 April
Last Sunday's point at White Hart Lane extended Everton's unbeaten league run to four matches. Prior to that, the Blues had won three straight games, all at home, defeating Reading, Manchester City and Stoke. David Moyes' men have lost just once at Goodison Park in the league all season.
Last five: WWLLD
Last outing: QPR 1-1 Wigan Athletic, Sunday 7 April
Shaun Maloney's 94th-minute free-kick broke QPR hearts as Harry Redknapp's men threw away two precious points against relegation rivals Wigan Athletic last weekend. With just six league games remaining, the Londoners lie 19th in the table, seven points adrift of safety. They have also managed just 10 points on the road all season.
1) QPR have proven tough opponents for the Toffees since their promotion back to the Premier League in 2011. Last season's meeting at Goodison Park ended 1-0 to the visitors, while both games since have been 1-1 draws.
2) Everton's last Premier League victory over Rangers was in November 1995, Graham Stuart and Paul Rideout notching to give the Blues a 2-0 triumph at Goodison Park.
3) In total, the two sides have met 48 times in all competitions. Everton have won on 21 of those occasions and QPR 15. At Goodison, Everton have won 14 of 23 meetings, losing just five.
Everton defender John Heitinga: "I think we've got the same desperation [for points] as QPR. It won't be an easy match. I remember the game at their place was tough as well. Everyone thinks it's easy and you'll win 4-0 but that's not the way football is at the moment. They will come to defend."
QPR winger Andros Townsend: "The players aren't giving up. We need three points, definitely. That would leave us on 27 points and then we've got two six pointers against Reading and Stoke coming up. The game against Everton is a massive game."
QPR 1-1 Everton, 21 October 2012. It was a tale of two own goals as Everton were frustrated at Loftus Road back in October. The hosts took the lead just two minutes in when Junior Hoilett ran 60 yards before firing a shot which deflected past Tim Howard off the unfortunate Leighton Baines. The Blues hit back when Sylvain Distin's header ricocheted off the post and over the line via the back of goalkeeper Julio Cesar, but Steven Pienaar then saw red after picking up a second yellow card 29 minutes from time. A man down, the Toffees pushed hard for a winner but it wasn't to be as they headed back to Merseyside with just a point to show for their efforts.
QPR 2-3 Everton, 18 March 1995. Although the Blues would go on to lift the FA Cup two months later, as the Premier League season drew to a close, the Club's top-flight status was still in the balance. However, a welcome three-point haul from Loftus Road would put the team on a run of just one defeat in 11 games to finish safely in 15th place. The afternoon started badly as QPR took the lead through Les Ferdinand on 36 minutes, and though Stuart Barlow levelled before the hour mark, the Blues' celebrations were cut short when Kevin Gallen struck back almost immediately. Half-time substitute Daniel Amokachi continued to be a thorn in the Londoners' side however, and his shot was converted past his own goalkeeper by Alan McDonald on 67 minutes to make it 2-2. Then, with just seconds remaining on the clock, Andy Hinchcliffe picked out the top corner with a fine free-kick to seal a memorable win for Joe Royle's men.
Everton will be looking to break something of an April 13 hoodoo when they walk out on Saturday. The Blues have drawn each of their last four fixtures on this date, including their most recent - a 1-1 draw at Leeds United in 2004 which saw Wayne Rooney net his 17th and final goal for the Club.
The Blues' best result on 13 April was a 4-1 home win over John Bond's Norwich in 1974, an afternoon when Mick Buckley, George Telfer, Bob Latchford and Mike Lyons grabbed the goals.
Players who have played for both the Blues and the Rs include Matt Jackson, John Spencer, Peter Reid, Kevin McLeod, Dave Thomas, Mickey Walsh, Kenny Sansom, Andy King, Brett Angell, Marcus Bent and Peter Eastoe.
QPR's former boss Mark Hughes also made 22 appearances during a brief spell at Goodison Park.
Referee: Mr L Mason
Assistant Referee: Mr A Garratt
Assistant Referee: Mr S Beck
Fourth Official: Mr A Taylor

Time sure flies because little Simone Masterson-Horn is now 3 years old! It seems like we just threw her 2nd birthday party and now she is already a big 3 year old. I'll be decorating her wedding cake before we know it.
For her 3rd birthday, Bill and Scout chose a Doc Simone party theme based around Disney's hit show Doc McStuffins. I'm normally not a huge fan of licensed character parties, but I knew we could pull this one off without too much of the cheesy character look. Doc and her gang are actually pretty adorable characters.
Guests were greeted through the front gate adorned with a glittery pink & purple ribbon welcome wreath by She's Kinda Crafty. First stop was the patient check-in area where little guests picked up their own "Doc's big book of boo-boo's" journal, custom created for us by Minted and placed on amazing custom "Simone" melamine trays by Oh Goodie Designs.
Kids crafted patient ID bracelets, tended to the stuffed patients in the "Operating Room", and filled candy prescriptions in Doc's Pharmacy. We found tiny prescription bottles in Kara's Party Ideas Shop and miniature Doc McStuffins doctor bags from Piggy Bank Parties. We filled vintage medical glass canisters with pink and purple rock candy and rolled cotton candy "cotton balls", in addition to all the other pink and purple candy filled apothecary jars.
Guests nibbled on food from our hospital "cafeteria", complete with character named foods (Stuffy's Stuffin, Hallie's Taters, Chilly's Chicken Bites), all made into miniature servings thanks to the adorable mini food containers from Kara's Party Ideas Shop. At our drink bar, we served lemonade, and mason jar margaritas with darling daisy lids from KPI and party straws from Minted. Guests dined on our outdoor picnic tables decorated with pink flowers and custom party horns, and super cute Doc centerpiece flags.
So many fun details were included into this party but of course I'm partial to the dessert table. To keep the table looking chic and not too character cluttered, we had Jenny from Craft that Party create Doc McStuffin characters from wooden peg dolls which were placed on top of the 2-tiered Doc-inspired birthday cake (purple & white striped top tier, pink ruffle bottom tier, resembling Doc's daily ensemble). Band-Aid, nurse hat, and prescription bottle sugar cookies filled the gorgeous purple and pink wood cake plates, among custom Doc Simone logo cookies. Sugared purple cake pops stuck out of a vintage medical supply box and while chocolate dipped pretzel "thermometers" were nestled into vintage pharmacy beakers. For the backdrop of our table, we leaned a gigantic clipboard holding Doc's signature symptom checklist (found at Pottery Barn Kids), strung Minted's adorable custom banners, and dangled a few pink and purple paper lanterns overhead. Without an overwhelming amount of characters, the table screamed Doc McStuffins!
With all the candy from the pharmacy and sweets on the dessert table, we thought we'd offer our guests some fruit, so we did an "Apple a Day" table filled with purple and pink chocolate dipped caramel apples. Of course not many were guests had room left to indulge in our apples, so they made awesome take home treats!
A big thanks to all the vendors involved in this adorable party and a huge thanks to Bill and Scout for including me again in such a special event. I just adore your family and love being a part of Simone's life!

My crazy fun friend Kaylee of Kaylee Eylander Photography threw the best Neon 80′s party for her daughter Estelle's 9th birthday. Being a child of the 80′s, I instantly loved the theme, and was thrilled to create a coordinating dessert table for Estelle's big bash.
With neon cake pops, cupcakes, 80′s shaped sugar cookies, and a two tier multicolor cake with a giant hot pink bow on top, I think we nailed it!
My sweet Ally James is now 7. SEVEN! I swear I start every one of my children's birthday party blogs with the same first paragraph. I can't believe he's THREE…I can't believe he's FOUR….I can't believe she's FIVE…I can't believe she's SIX….. Well, we are at seven. Still can't believe it.
Since Ally was 18 months old, she's been head over heels for Cinderella. At age 3, she spent three solid months in her Cinderella dress. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. FOR THREE MONTHS. We've watched the movie more times than we can count, and have stood in the princess line at Disneyland for more hours than I'd like to admit. Ally was soon nicknamed Cinderally for her overwhelming passion for all things Cinderella. So coming up with Ally's birthday party theme was pretty easy. CINDERELLA! To make it a little more creative, we went with Cinderally's Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.
Ally invited 25 of her classmates, friends, and family to join her for an afternoon of princess pampering and a royal tea party. Guests were greeted with tutus, magic wands, crowns and princess jewelry. After their princess attire, the girls moved on to the hair, makeup, and nail stations for their makeovers by the Fairy Godmother herself! The girls were given Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique bags to collect all sorts of fun treats like lip glosses, glitter spray, nail polish, etc. as they worked their way through the makeover stations. After they got all their goodies, they crafted necklaces and bracelets, and painted princess jewelry boxes.
The royal tea party table was set for 26, just enough for each girl and one surprise guest. When the clock struck one, our special guest arrived…who could it be, but Cinderella! When Cinderella walked through the door, Ally could hardly believe her eyes. She beamed from ear to ear, never once taking her eyes off Cinderella. She arrived just in time to enjoy all the tea party sweets. The table was overflowing with cakes, cookies, cake pops, cupcakes, and just about every dessert you could imagine. Cinderella took time to greet each and every guest around the table, even our very own Prince Charming AKA Hudson, and then read the girls princess stories. Ally never stopped smiling.
And what would a party be without a Jenny Cookies dessert table? We did 3 textured buttercream cakes, magic wand cake pops, pink marshmallow pops, cupcake bites, mini cupcakes topped with baby blue chocolate hearts, and sugar cookies in the shapes of glass slippers, carriages, crowns, wands, and hearts. The desserts sat atop various cake plates, in front of the most amazing vintage tile backdrop we rented from Vintage Ambiance, and surrounded by darling florals by Flora D'Amore. For the final touch, we hung a gold and crystal chandelier above the table. It was magical!
As if we didn't have enough dessert, my husband and I decided to make Ally an actual Cinderella cake. It was quite the experience. We spent an evening carving cake to shape Cinderella dress, and I decorated Cinderella in blue buttercream roses until the wee hours of the morning. When the cake was done, it was gorgeous, but ended up being almost 4 feet tall! A little too tall to transport. So we had to call in a friend with a van to get Cinderella to the party! We placed Cinderella on her own table, in front of the cutest tassel garlands made by The Flair Exchange.
After the guests were all sugared up, they danced to Cinderella songs, had their individual photos taken with Cinderella in our vintage door photo booth, and left with Cinderella spa salts as a favor.
When it was all said and done, I felt as if I had just thrown a wedding, but it was well worth all the work. So much time and love went into throwing Ally's party, from crafting all the decor to baking my heart out, but she couldn't have loved it more. Even at the age of 7, she noticed every little detail and gasped with each new creation she saw. Appreciation and love make every hour of lost sleep worth it!
Happy 7th Birthday sweet girl!
Thank you to all the amazing vendors who helped make Ally's Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique nothing short of magical!

Back in October, I had the pleasure of creating a dessert table for Tori Spelling's youngest daughter Hattie's 1st birthday party. Hattie, known as Hattie Cat by her family, is just an absolute doll. Tori chose a Mad Hattie Tea Party theme, with Alice in Wonderland accents.
For Hattie's dessert table, we decided instead of a separate table for desserts, we'd use the tea party table as our actual dessert table. Tori has an incredible farm table that seats 16, which was perfect for this party. We used mismatched vintage chairs for seating and set gorgeous vintage china teacups at each place setting. The abundance of overflowing desserts made up our centerpiece. I made 5 different cakes, 3 different kinds of mini and regular sized cupcakes, cake lollipops, sugar cookies, brownie bites, rice krispy treats and more. It was a dessert feast! Paper lanterns hung above the table creating the tea party scene from Alice in Wonderland. It was more than perfect. I have to say, this was one of my favorite tables ever!
Happy 1st Birthday Miss Hattie Cat!
I had the pleasure of creating desserts for one of my best friend's daughter's 1st birthday party. The party theme was "Bright as the sun, our sweet little Finley is turning one". The party was absolutely darling, so many cute colors, patterns, details, and of course all love in the world for Miss Finley.
Happy 1st Birthday sweet girl!
In July I had the pleasure of creating Tiffani Thiessen's daughter Harper's 2nd birthday dessert table. Tiffani may have played the scandalous role of Val on 90210 and every boy's dream as Kelli Kapowski on Saved By the Bell, but in real life she is just as sweet as can be.
Tiffani told me one of Harper's first words was "bird" so they chose a bird theme for her 2nd birthday. I instantly fell in love with the theme, the colors, and the incredible invitation her sister in law Jill of Jill Smith Design created for Harper. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the invitation sets the stage for the party. Jill absolutely nailed it with her beautiful invite of birds, birdcages and amazing colorful fonts printed on wood. The minute I saw the invitation I was thrilled to create a coordinating dessert table.
For Harper's table, I decided to make 5 different textured buttercream cakes in the colors from her invite. Guests enjoyed the variety of cake in addition to cake pops, cupcakes and sugar cookies baked in the custom made bird cutters similar to the bird on the invitation. Desserts were set atop wood tree rounds and stump pedestals, along with colorful glass cake plates. We put the table in front of Tiffani's gorgeous glass doors and hung scattered birdcages above the table.
The party was amazing. Not only was Tiffani an absolute dream client to work for with her prompt replies and easy going personality, but her family and friends were incredible as well. The love of family was so prominent I could have moved to California just to make new friends with them.
Thank you Tiffani for including me in sweet Harper's 2nd birthday. Can't wait for her 3rd birthday!
Can't believe a whole year has already passed since Simone's 1st Birthday at the Santa Monica Pier Carousel. Sweet Simone is now 2, and as darling as ever.
We celebrated her 2nd birthday with all things pink and purple. From the ruffled ombre' pink and purple cake, purple sugared cake pops, to #2 polka dotted sugar cookies, guests enjoyed the party on a sugar high.
Thank you Bill and Scout for including me in such a special event! Simone is one lucky little girl to be surrounded with so much love.

Beirut • U.N. experts who collected samples from last week's alleged chemical weapons strike outside Damascus left Syria for the Netherlands on Saturday, hours after President Barack Obama said he is weighing "limited and narrow" action against the Syrian regime his administration blames for the attack.
In Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin urged Obama not to rush into a decision. The Russian leader implied the chemical attack came from among the rebels, saying he was convinced it was a provocation carried out by those who wanted to draw in the United States.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
If the Americans have evidence to the contrary they should present it to the United Nations inspectors and the U.N. Security Council, he said. "If there is evidence it should be presented," Putin said. "If it is not presented, that means it does not exist."
Russia is one of Syrian President Bashar Assad's staunchest allies. Putin's comments were his first on the crisis since the suspected chemical weapons attack on rebel-held suburbs of Damascus on Aug. 21.
The U.N. inspectors spent three days this week touring stricken areas near Damascus and a fourth day interviewing patients at a government-run military hospital. They wrapped up their investigation Friday and left Syria on Saturday, via Lebanon.
The team then flew to the Dutch city of Rotterdam aboard a German government-chartered plane, the German Foreign Ministry said. An aircraft believed to have been chartered by the German government landed in Rotterdam on Saturday afternoon.
In Syria, rebels fighting to topple Assad said they plan to go on the offensive against his troops in attacks timed to coincide with the U.S. strikes.
"Zero hour begins the moment the first missile is fired," said Qassem Saadeddine, a senior rebel commander and spokesman for the rebels' Supreme Military Council.
"As the (U.S.) strikes gets underway, we will launch attacks against military airports, command centers, missile bases and military checkpoints," the former army colonel told The Associated Press from his base in Turkey.
Several other rebel commanders based in the rebel-held suburbs of the capital, Damascus, confirmed they would exploit the U.S. action to try and advance on the capital, seat of Assad's power.
Still, some opposition fighters said they felt uneasy about the prospect of U.S. strikes on their country, calling the U.S. objectives vague and "suspicious."
The U.N. experts had taken blood and urine samples from victims as well as soil samples from the affected areas for examination in laboratories in Europe. The U.N. has said it will try to expedite its final report.
U.N. disarmament chief Angela Kane is to brief Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon later Saturday on the investigation.
With the inspectors out of Syria, the looming confrontation between the U.S. and Assad's regime moves one step closer to coming to a head. The Obama administration has made clear that it is confident in its assessment and could act before the U.N. releases the results of its probe.
Obama has said that if he opts for a military strike, any operation would be limited in scope and only aimed at punishing Assad for his alleged use of chemical weapons.
But U.S. action carries the potential to trigger retaliation by the Syrian regime or its proxies against U.S. allies in the region, such as Jordan, Turkey and Israel. That would be dangerous new turn for the Syrian civil war, which has already killed more than 100,000 people, forced nearly 2 million to flee and inflamed tensions across the Middle East.
While Obama long has been wary of U.S. military involvement in the conflict, the administration on Friday forcefully made its case for action. It accused the Assad regime of carrying out what it says was a chemical attack on Aug. 21 that killed at least 1,429 people — far more than previous estimates — including more than 400 children.
However, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, one of the main groups monitoring casualties in Syria, said Saturday it has only been able to confirm 502 deaths, identifying victims by name.
Its list is based on interviews with hospital officials and activists in the affected areas, said Rami Abdel-Rahman, the head of the Observatory.
The Britain-based group, which draws its information from a network of anti-regime activists in Syria, urged the Obama administration to release the information its far higher death toll is based on.
Obama has said he has a strong preference for multilateral action, but France is so far his only major public ally.Next Page >

Women love it, but I also think it is too sweet. Italian Moscato style is a bit different, less sweet, more fresh and delicate. I prefer it to Golan if there is a choice. Price, however is x2-x3. On the Kosher side, have you tasted Bartenura Moscato? It is quite good and inexpensive. Maybe not as good as (non-kosher) Vietti and Prunotto, but close to them and not as sweet as Golan.
Hi Harry,
No serious wine drinking this shabbos, just a glass of Bosca Verdi Sparklettini. I fixed that with some Courvoisier XO and dry prunes.
Following previous discussion on grape juice, I sampled grape juice from Hevron winery, which is made from Muscat grapes. Very sweet as typically expected from pure juice, lacking acidity and having a distinctive perfume aroma.
I also sampled grape juice made by Jerusalem Gold Winery (is this Jerusalem Heights?) from Carignan, Muscat and Argaman grapes - much better, lively and interesting. Enjoyable with a lot of ice, after it is partially melt in the glass to reduce the sweetness.

Good ice on pitch one, second pitch is mixed 5 with little ice, third pitch is grade 3 snow, fourth pitch, the crack did not have any ice and was not in condition, the grove next to it is solid 4 with partially frozen turf, pitch five, easy snow to the top. A lot of snow on pitches three-five made it very difficult to find placements. Excellent alpine climb with awesome views! Pohil - Lead - 27/Mar/13 with Ed Watson

Have you made this pattern?

This ring was inspired by bright colors and metallic shine of the Bollywood style. The faceted glass and metallic beads give the ring a luxurious shimmer. The ring employs herringbone and an original thread path. The result is a ring whose look is much more intricate than its design. This 11 page PDF tutorial includes full-color illustrations and pictures to guide you in creating your own version of my Bollywood Bling Ring.
My name is Marcie Abney Carroll and I started creating jewelry in 2007. A simple project to repair a simple beaded ring turned into a love of all things beadwoven and beaded in general. I've recently turned my attention toward metal and can be found most nights hammering away in my garage.

Impact on Requests Processed by DOI Bureaus/Offices: Congress has provided special protection in the FOIA for three narrow categories of law enforcement and national security records. The provisions protecting those records are known as "exclusions." The first exclusion protects the existence of an ongoing criminal law enforcement investigation when the subject of the investigation is unaware that it is pending and disclosure could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings. The second exclusion is limited to criminal law enforcement agencies and protects the existence of informant records when the informant's status has not been officially confirmed. The third exclusion is limited to the FBI and protects the existence of foreign intelligence or counterintelligence, or international terrorism records when the existence of such records is classified. Records falling within an exclusion are not subject to the requirements of the FOIA. So, when a component responds to your request it will limit its response to those records that are subject to the FOIA.
