A concept to turn the Eiffel Tower into a giant green wall has been proposed as a symbolic statement of "the reconciliation of nature and http://cngnewengland.com/buy-now-viagra mankind."The plan calls for 600,000 plants to be attached to the structure using hemp sacks filled with soil as the growth media. An irrigation system comprising 12 tons of tubing would be used to provide water for the plants.
The installation would not be permanent, and would be removed after a few years. But, once in place, the installation would help remove an estimated 87.8 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere.
"Should it not be the duty of engineers to imagine a new future where nature is brought back into the levitra buylevitra onlin heart of the city," said a statement from Ginger, the company behind the proposal. With an estimated cost of nearly 100 million dollars for the project, that's more than a million dollars per ton of www.richcongress.com CO2. Hardly the most cost effective carbon sequestration, but certainly a visible one.

Cheap? Certainly not.
Aesthetically pleasing? Oh, yes. Yes indeed.
I don't see why they don't cover it in Ivy, though. It naturally crawls up towers like that, and would be much easier and cheaper to provide nutrition for. It could even be permanent.

To spend their 100 million on creating systems that people could use to lower their environmental footprint would be a much better use of such money, or even better, buy some wilderness and protect it.

And this sort of reminds me of a Cristo-type idea...why not cover the get levitra prescription Tower in some bright orange cloth? lol

Another concept is look there cheap generic cialis to remember to respect the intention of the creator of such an artwork. "The Eiffel Tower was built for the International Exhibition of Paris of 1889 commemorating the tramadol overnight without prescription centenary of only for you canadian online pharmacy levitra the French Revolution. The Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII of England, opened the tower. Of the 700 proposals submitted in a design competition, Gustave Eiffel's was unanimously chosen. However it was not accepted by all at first, and a petition of 300 names - including those of Maupassant, Emile Zola, Charles Garnier (architect of the Opéra Garnier), and Dumas the Younger - protested its construction." Gustsve Eiffel did not include any covering of plants, and I am very sure would have scoffed at the idea, for reasons that certainly would have included the danger of Corrosion.
(Quote from http://www.corrosion-doctors.o...istory.htm )
Perhaps we should commend the originators of no prior prescription tramadol the idea for enthusiasm and thinking big, and work with them to get their energy directed into something with positive lasting practical value beyond goofy publicity. Such energy should not be simply squashed just because it was at first connected to a lousy idea. Hopefully the group will realize that there are good pratical reasons for looking for an alternate plan.
(For interest, here are a few additional historical notes - "The tower was almost torn down in 1909, but was saved because of its antenna used both for military and other purposes, and the city let it stand after the canadian healthcare cialis permit expired. When the tower played an important role in capturing the infamous spy Mata Hari during World War I, it gained such importance to the French people that there was no more thought of demolishing it.- used for telegraphy at that time.
From 1910 and on the Eiffel Tower became part of the International Time Service. French radio (since 191, and French television (since 1957) have also made use of its stature. {same source})
Note that none of these added purposes changed the essential nature or appearance of the Tower.

Thank you all, and especially James, for pointing out the royal rear end I was making of myself. Frankly I'm ashamed that I didn't make the logical connection from 'Iron is good for Ivy' to 'Ivy is bad for Iron.'
I was truly caught up in an illogical sweep of cialis purchase enthusiasm at the sign of a large-scale environmental awareness project.
Excuse me while I retreat, humbled, to areas that I know more about.

Bandwidth 2014 will be held in Palm Springs, California November 16 - 18. To accommodate flights, we'll be starting the evening of Sunday, November 16th and wrap up at noon on Tuesday, November 18th. In between we'll focus on the evolving music experience, particularly on how music is discovered, consumed, and monetized. We'll also discuss the longview of the industry, innovative approaches, and the technological shifts and developments that will impact user experience, business models and future strategies.
When and where is Bandwidth?
Bandwidth starts at 5:00pm on Sunday, November 16th, and ends at noon on Tuesday, November 18th. We'll be in Palm Springs at the Ace Hotel. Hotel rates and information will be sent upon registration.
What segment of the industry attends?
Bandwidth is geared towards those in Marketing, New Media, New Products, Digital and Fan to Consumer Music and Entertainment, as well as any executive interested in the changing landscape and upcoming innovations and trends.
Is Press invited?
No. In order to encourage an atmosphere of open conversation, we do not invite or allow press. Along those lines, we ask that attendees not post/blog/tweet/etc specifics about what is discussed in sessions or quote their fellow attendees without permission.
How do I get an invite?
This year all invites are being directly extended. In order to make the conversations as productive as possible, we restrict who can attend to people actively working in the industry at a level that is on par with the other attendees - that generally means executives from relevant companies or individuals with a national or international presence.
If you feel you fall into this group and would like us to consider you or someone from your company, please contact us at email@example.com.
How many people attend?
We limit the group to 150 attendees. This size really contributes to the connections - we're able to keep discussions to a manageable size, and there's plenty of opportunity to spend some quality time with others in sessions, at meals, and during our social events.
How much does it cost to attend?
Registration will be $545 through September 30. After that, the rate will be $600 from Oct 1 to Oct 31, $675 from Nov 1 to Nov 7, and $750 after. This includes the kick off cocktails and dinner on Sunday night, lunch on Monday, the dinner and evening event Monday night, and Tuesday wrap up. It doesn't include the hotel, but we have some great rates that we'll send upon acceptance of your registration.
Can I present a session?
If you've been accepted as an attendee, you may submit your suggestion for a topic/discussion to us (info will be sent upon registration). Keep in mind we are seeking topics that will generate conversation amongst everyone in the room, so make sure it isn't a sales pitch or simply a focus on your work or company - we won't select anything that falls into this category.
Where can I see the sessions? How many of them are there?
Generally we'll have several sessions run concurrently. Yes it makes it hard to choose - that is a good thing. We'll begin posting sessions as we approve them. Stay tuned.
Who Is Attending?
We'll post the attendee list in October. Companies attending this year include Warner Bros, Pandora, Rhapsody, Spotify and others. Attendees do have the option to opt out of having their info displayed.
How long has Bandwidth been around?
The first bandwidth was held in 2000, and then every year since 2006. We've changed over the years - initially we were like most conferences with panels and open registration. Over the years, we noticed people were drawn to our discussion sessions, and eventually we moved completely over to that format. And over the past few years, we started to tighten up the guest list. We do this for one reason only - to make sure that those attending can interact with their peers in a moving music forward environment.
Who are some of your past attendees?
This is a very partial list of companies that have attended in the past: Warner Bros Records | MTV | Spotify | YouTube | Beggars Group | GraceNote | MOG | Zeitgeist Artist management | Nettwerk Music Group | Pandora | Verizon | Fat Wreck Chords | Sub Pop Records | Another Planet Entertainment | 42 Entertainment | Chop Shop | Epitaph | Cisco | Atom Factory | Superfly Presents | Sony Network Entertainment | Rdio | Harry Fox Agency | Facebook | Echo Nest | Big Machine | Borman Entertainment | The Collective | The Orchard | eMusic | Yelp | TopSpin | Atlantic Records | Barsuk | East End Management | Ticketfly | Merlin | Twitter | Silva Artist Management | JamBase | Interscope | UMGD | Elektra | and many others.
Are there sponsorship opportunities?
But of course! The sponsorship doc is here or contact us at email@example.com.
Bandwidth 2009
Bandwidth 2010
If you do not have an invite or code, you will need to contact us for consideration at firstname.lastname@example.com. Due to the conversational focus of the event, we limit registration to those actively working in the industry at an company or entity with national or international recognition. Please read the FAQ for further information about attending Bandwidth.
If you register using a code that is not yours or without an invite, and we determine you are not eligible to attend, your registration will be cancelled and your registration will be refunded less any fees charged by Eventbrite. We will not be responsible for any travel arrangements.
Cancellation Policy and the not so small fine print: More than 90 days before event: Full refund any less Eventbrite fees. 60 to 90 days before event: 50% of your registration fee or we will transfer your registration to a music industry colleague that is approved to attend. Less than 60 days: We'll transfer your registration to a music industry colleague that is approved to attend.
All speakers and times subject to change. In order to encourage an atmosphere of open conversation, we do not invite or allow press. Along those lines, we ask that attendees not post/blog/tweet/etc specifics about what is discussed in sessions or quote their fellow attendees without permission. Anyone found doing so may be asked to leave.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I think this school is a good school. My daughter just finished 6th grade and we are looking forward to her starting 7th grade next week. All of the 6th grade teachers were very nice and helpful. And as far as the hole not being safe that's not true. every time I had to go up to the school to get my daughter cause she was not feeling well or she had a dr app. I always had to be buzzed in and then I had to sign in.. So the school IS VERY SAFE!!!!!!!!
I think that the teachers and staff are doing a great job with the student body. More parent involvement would help.
My daughter gets yearly IEP's. We discuss her strengths. Support receives: Reading support-5 students in class. Co-taught special education classes. Parent view application and text messages before exams to prep my daughter days ahead. Math-Lab courses instead of general education like choir. Solid educators, daughter is excelling.
LISTEN UP PEOPLE!!! THIS SCHOOL WAS THE BEST SCHOOL EVER!!! EVERYONE WAS SUPPORTIVE And HELPFUL TO MY CHILD AND THATS WHY SHE HAD ALL A'S BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS HELPFUL And SUPPORTIVE....... I DONT GET WHY ITS GETTING SO MUCH HATE WHEN ITS AN AMAZING SCHOOL AND ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE HAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THERE BRAIN..... BY THE WAY I SENT MY CHILD TO JUST ABOUT EVERY DISTRICT IN GENESEE COUNTY ANDCARMSN AINSWORTH WAS THE BEST!!
This school is amazing it had helped my kids so much when we first came from Yemen they didn't know a single word now they know much much much more than me and most of the students in the school I really recommend this school to anyone
This school was amazing..... the Carman Ainsworth school district is the nest place for your children to be.raised. I'm so annoyed with people who complain about the district... I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else!
I have found that Carman-Ainsworth Middle School has helped my child become a responsible adult. The teachers have placed a high level of responsibility on the children, so in turn, it has carried over at home. Thank you! The teachers have been supportive and helpful when it comes to getting support for my child.
My daughter has always had great teachers. She has been on the honor roll since she began middle school. She feels safe at school and the principal does a great job making sure that the students are safe and they are learning. My daughter is on the school swim team and loves it. I believe that Carman-Ainsworth middle school is a great school where the students learn and have a good time in their school. I rate this school a 5. Mother of 8th grader
This is a great school I went there my hole life and know my three boys go there and I love the school and all they stand for.
We have two children in the Carman District. Both students are honor roll students with no disciplinary problems. We are very disapointed with the middle school staff and teachers. Parents are unwelcome, teachers are not helpful, students are unsafe. We will have to look at other schools for a quality education for our children. If you want to see for yourself, visit the school or call and try to speak with anyone.

Everything about this school is wonderful! Staff strive to improve students, medium classroom size and a large amount of classroom activities for students to participate in. I am glad to have my students attend this wonderful establishment
I am thrilled that my children love the school they attend! As a parent, you want your children to learn, be safe, and like what they are doing in class. The teachers make themselves available to answer questions that us parents may have. I use the internet to ask (homework) questions, and often times have gotten a response the same day. The administration is top notch. They have always been cordial, and friendly when I have ever asked questions or voiced concerns. I have never felt put off by any staff at CAMS.
The teachers, most of them, are helpful and understanding. The school looks great after the reconstruction done this last summer, and the programs are helpful. Drama seems to teach a lot, and, as far as I know, everyone is enjoying everything. Sports and music are plentiful, but there are only two art classes. but, over all, I wouldn't want to go to any other school.
I would have to agree with SOME of the comments I have read so far. Administration is not very helpful, this is true. Teachers do seem to have time for those who are gifted, However, there seems to be little quality instruction in general. Although my children are gifted and don't get into much trouble, I visit the school to check on my children's progress before report card time because I have gotten a few 'bad' surprises with no communication from the teacher. I didn't feel very welcome. I did speak with the principal and he made it clear that he did not share nor was he very interested in my concerns. Nevertheless, this school, by far, beats any school within a 50 mile radius. I hope the high school is better.
That person is 'on the mark!' Disgruntled parent? You'll find allot of us there! Quality School? The building and facilities are quality! (Thanks to our tax dollars) For the record, we coped! It was very unpleasant! Our children are strait 'A' honor roll students. (Guess who taught them 'us parents' the teachers wouldn't even answer kids questions and would belittle them (in Class) if they asked one!) 'Unfortunately, It seems that the greater percentage of teachers there are only capable of teaching 'gifted children' but then, I can teach gifted kids (anyone could) If your child is a slow learner God help you your doomed! If there is ever a problem involving your child, (or the teacher) you will receive the Child needs to learn responsibility speech (oh, you ve heard it before) However, you will never find anyone there actually claiming responsibility. Involvement? Parents are made to feel unwelcome!
I totally disagree with the previous comments. Actually, I found them to be very transparent. This is clearly from a disgruntled parent who has a student that wasn't able to cope with the structure that a quality school provides. The teachers and administrators in this school are quality and try very hard to accomodate the many diverse needs of the varying student population. A great place to learn not just subject matter, but also about life and how to interact with people.
Primary focus is discipline by humiliation and threat to obtain order, resulting in kids who hate school, lots of bullying (following administration lead,) and little or no education for the majority. Administration doesn't follow its own rules; disciplinary action varies dependent on parental involvement (if high, discipline is extreme - you're easy to reach,) intelligence (don't dare argue, they'll show you who's boss,) and race. Most suspensions are for 'insubordination' which means a child forgot his pencil, fell asleep in class, didn't put his coat away, didn't do his worksheet, or failed to ask how high when directed to jump. I would not recommend this school district to anyone unless the administration changed 100%. Some very good teachers, some very bad teachers, but principals are paid to ignore parental concerns and play God. Administration earns more and cares less. Look at the suburbs, my friends, as this district has gotten too big to do anything but spend money. Your children are not a focus, but simply a target.

United States' Missy Franklin poses for photographers with her gold medal for the women's 100-meter backstroke swimming final at the Aquatics Centre in the Olympic Park during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Monday, July 30, 2012.

Olympics: Football Spain eliminated after second straight defeat
LONDON — Life just keeps on getting bigger and better for Missy Franklin, the teenage swimming sensation whose fame is quickly spreading beyond the Olympic pool.
Even Bieber's a believer.
The 17-year-old girl with the can't-miss smile and catchy "Missile Missy" nickname is cheerily living up to the outsized expectations that were heaped on her going into her first Olympics.
Franklin won a gold medal — even before Michael Phelps — in the 100-meter backstroke Monday after having opened her games with a relay bronze.
And a certain teen idol took notice.
"Heard (at)FranklinMissy is a fan of mine," singer Justin Bieber tweeted Tuesday. "Now I'm a fan of hers too! CONGRATS on winning GOLD! (Hashtag)muchlove."
"I just died," Franklin tweeted in response. "Thank you!"
She's still got five more events to go, giving her plenty of chances to leave London as America's big star with Phelps heading into retirement. His underwhelming performances so far and Ryan Lochte's failure in his last two events have swung the spotlight squarely on Franklin.
She has a shot at another medal in the 200 freestyle on Tuesday night. She claimed the last spot in the eight-woman final just 14 minutes before she won the first gold medal of what promises to be a stellar career.
"What kind of high school kid can do that?" marveled teammate Breeja Larson.
Franklin finished the semis of the 200 free on Monday night, then raced to the diving well for a quick warmdown. There was no time to make it to the practice pool before her bigger race.
"That was fantastic. She did it exactly right," said Bob Bowman, Phelps' coach.
Even Phelps was amazed at her stamina. He estimated his tightest time between races at a major meet was about 30 minutes.
"She's a racer and she knows what to do," he said, having long ago paid Franklin the ultimate compliment to a swimmer: "She's a stud."
At 6-foot-1 (1.85-meters), with big hands and size 13 feet, Franklin cuts an imposing figure on the starting blocks. And — Bieber take note — her size is no impediment to her dancing skills.
She shows them off in the U.S. swimming team's recent video spoof to "Call Me Maybe." Franklin boogies down the aisle of a plane and whips her long brown hair around while lip-synching to the Carly Rae Jepsen tune that has inspired countless viral videos.
Franklin has cracked up her teammates since last summer, when she won three gold medals in her first world championships in China and set two American records in the process. They were amused by her excited approach to swimming the mundane morning prelims and her bubbly personality.
She's been even more enthusiastic — if that's possible — at the Olympics. She loves her apartment in the athletes village and was thrilled at the prospect of taking home the comforter on her bed. "They're so cute," she gushed.
"She is always smiling, always positive," Larson said. "You will never hear a negative thing out of her mouth."
Franklin showed up for the medalists' news conference with the gold medal stuffed in the pocket of her gray warmup jacket. When someone asked where it was, she quickly pulled it out and slipped the purple ribbon it hangs from around her neck.
"Isn't it pretty?" she said.

Regional event leads up to National Senior Games this summer
This annual Metro Parks event for athletes from Louisville and surrounding counties includes 20 events for participants of all skills and abilities, from basketball and a triathlon to bowling, billiards and ballroom dancing.
Last year, the games had more than 750 participants, with 400 qualifying for the Kentucky Senior Games as part of the qualification process for the 2007 national games. Winners from this year's local Fifty and Over Games will be able to participate in the 2007 Kentucky Senior Games in September, with an opportunity to qualify for the 2009 National Senior Games in San Francisco.
"In June and July, the 2007 National Senior Games will bring an expected 12,000 athletes, along with their families, to Louisville," said Abramson. "We expect to see some local athletes who qualified for the national games using our event as a warm-up, and many others taking part to experience the same spirit of competition and camaraderie that athletes from across the nation will experience in Louisville this summer."
The Fifty and Over Games encourage citizens to pursue lifelong fitness, which is one of the key goals of the Mayor's Healthy Hometown Movement.
Registration for this year's Fifty and Over Games takes place through May 1. A $20 entry fee allows participants to compete in an unlimited number of events; registration after May 1 is $25.
Participants may register on the day of an event by arriving at least an hour before the scheduled start time. Registration forms are available online at www.louisvilleky.gov/MetroParks/recreation/fiftyandovergames, and they can also be picked up at the Louisville Tennis Center (3783 Illinois Avenue in Joe Creason Park), along with 17 community centers operated by Metro Parks. Information is also available by phone at 502/456-8186.
Most events will take place at the University of Louisville's athletic facilities, with remaining events scheduled for area parks. Rules and regulations for each competition are available online. To help participants get ready for the Fifty and Over Games, Metro Parks offers a variety of fitness programs, including exercise classes, weight rooms, walking clubs, golf lessons and more.
In addition to the competition, athletes will be able to take part in two social events – a Louisville Bats baseball game at Slugger Field on May 10, and an awards banquet for medalists on May 20.
Sponsors of the Fifty and Over Games include:
Metro Parks director Mike Heitz noted that the 2007 National Senior Games is actively recruiting volunteers, and he hopes that many competitors in this year's local games will consider volunteering this summer. "For the national games to be a success, the event will need 4,000 volunteers," said Heitz. "Louisville has always been great at stepping up to support major sporting events in our hometown, and I'm confident we'll reach this goal. For those who won't get to compete in the national games, taking part as a volunteer is a great way to feel part of the action and excitement of this great event."

Ford will be updating software on 2013 Escape SUVs and Fusion cars to fix a coolant problem that could cause a fire.
Last month Ford recalled more than 89,000 vehicles after complaints about overheating and fires.
Owners had to get loaner cars until Ford found a fix to the problem.
Ford says only vehicles with 1.6 liter turbocharged engines are affected.
Ford Product Development Chief, Raj Nair, says the problem happens when a coolant doesn't flow through the radiator to be cooled.
Overheated coolant can blow gaskets.
They say 9 fires have been reported because of the coolant problem.
Nair says the software change will fix the problem.

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) - A group of scammers is targeting Wisconsin households with Hispanic last names.
Alliant Energy spokeswoman Annemarie Newman says the callers are targeting Spanish speaking households. "Callers are claiming that their utility service is subject to disconnection if they do not make an immediate payment." The scammers then demand payment by a prepaid cash card like the Green Dot Card. Those cards are popular with criminals, because the money on them can be taken right away without any recourse on the part of the homeowner.
Newman says legitimate calls from the utility will try to set up payment plans or payments through secured sources like credit cards. "We don't demand immediate cash payment over the phone, so if you get one of these calls, hang up and call the utility to find out exactly what the status of your account is." Do not give out your social security number, bank information or any other sort of personal financial data over the phone to anyone who requests that information during an unsolicited phone call or an unannounced visit.
If you have been scammed, call police or your utility.

I hate to stereotype, but sometimes, people just make it so damn easy! Especially on Facebook. Don't want to be seen as the "Obsessed Sports Fan Guy"? Then stop doing a play-by-play of the ENTIRE GAME every Sunday. How 'bout you over there, New Mom? You know every status update doesn't have to be about your infant ... These people are lurking under every status update, in your Notifications, and your Mini-Feed. Maybe you've been tempted to block them before, or you already have. You may even be one or several of them. I am pretty sure I am from time to time. (What can I say -- you gotta laugh at yourself!)
Recently, Buzzfeed.com came up with a funny list of the 46 Types of People on Facebook, but it looked like they were missing a few biggies. Here, 20 more types of Facebook friends we all know and may need to consider blocking ASAP.
Which one are you? What other types of people on Facebook are there who drive you nuts?
Image via Casey Fleser/Flickr
So, basically... delete everyone on facebook. This is why I don't go on there anymore.
Rhonda - LOL She sure sounds like she was a real Christian!
I also delete or hide the "religious nuts". I don't mind people asking for prayers. I don't mind people saying they're excited to go to church in the morning or that they had a good time at church that day. But when every. damn. status. is a scripture, about Jesus (or how people need to "get right" with him), or how God is so great? I have to at least block you from the feed if not delete you altogether. If I wanted to "fan" a church, I would. But, it is their facebook to say what they wish so I just happily exercise my right to block. :)
You forgot the person who just shares picture after picture after picture from someone else's feed and never actually has a real thought of their own.
LOL, Rhonda... I was going to say the same thing - "The Preacher", who fills your feed with post after post after stinking post with tons of scripture and religious videos, until it's the entire page. But there is NO WAY I can top "Satan's Little Butt Monkey". I can't even type that withough cracking up!!!
Some of those on the Buzzfeed are funy, and some are REALLY shocking
Sucrose, how do you know my mom and the majority of my family? LOL! Drives me nuts. I actually deal with the majority of people that's been described (and those mentioned by commenters), because I know that the people behind the profile are decently good people. I can deal with their social media retardation because I like them in person.

Archived:Adding files to the startup list from embedded SIS packages not possible (Known Issue)
Archived: This article is archived because it is not considered relevant for third-party developers creating commercial solutions today. If you think this article is still relevant, let us know by adding the template {{ReviewForRemovalFromArchive|user=~~~~|write your reason here}}.
S60 3rd Edition FP1
S60 3rd Edition (initial release)
Adding an executable to the startup list is described in the document "Startup List Management API Technical Specification" in the S60 3rd Edition SDK API Reference Guide.
In order to add applications to the startup list, the SIS package must meet (among others) the following requirements:
- The installation package containing the application must be trusted, that is, it must be signed with a valid certificate.
- The installation package must install the application executable to be added into the startup list.
- In case of an embedded package, the control file must be included in the parent package.
See the above document for a full list of requirements.
However, adding an executable to the startup list is possible only when the file is included directly in the parent SIS. Therefore, even if the parent SIS includes the control file, it cannot add executables from embedded SIS packages to the startup list.
The executable to be added to the startup list must be included directly in the parent SIS package. If this is not possible (for example, because of different capability requirements for embedded and parent packages), the startup component should be delivered as a separate SIS file.

Pass By I purchased this guest book alternative and was definately disappointed. As the first reviewer stated, it does look rather cheap. Also, I figured that the color of the leaves and tree trunk would be the color I chose in the customization but no - the leaves and trunk of the tree are still gray! You get what you pay for in this case, unfortunately, so it would be worth it to spend a little more money. April 11, 2013

OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) - It wasn't a perfect storm, but several factors worked together to keep a lot of Oshkosh public school students out of class Friday.
As much as 41 percent of the students at one of the district's high schools stayed home.
They were kept away by the first major snow storm of the season, rumors of a weapon threat a Oshkosh North High School, and an alleged prediction by the Mayans hundreds of years ago that the world would end Friday.
Some students were just starting their Christmas vacation early. Classes resume January 2nd.

Who We Are:
Founded in 1994, the California Black Women's Health Project (CABWHP) is the only statewide organization solely devoted to improving the health of California's Black women and girls through policy, advocacy, education and outreach. We are committed to advocating for policies and practices that promote and improve physical, spiritual, mental and emotional well-being. We believe a healthier future is possible when women are empowered to make choices in an environment where equal access and health justice are community priorities. For more information about our work, visit www.cabwhp.org.
What we do:
Advocacy by Black women is an essential component of the movement to eliminate racial disparities in health. CABWHP's policy, advocacy, education and outreach work integrates traditional physical health issues with mental and emotional health. In 2000, responding to an overwhelming demand from our constituents, CABWHP officially launched our Policy Advocacy Program ("PAP"), an initiative comprised of several components through which we educate the community, policymakers and providers about health and policy issues important to Black women. Through the varied programmatic arms of the PAP, Black women's voices are heard on significant health matters. We convene town hall meetings, publish policy issue guides, host regional and state policy convenings (including our annual Policy Summit in Sacramento) and facilitate the Advocate Training Program ("ATP"). The central focus of the ATP is to empower Black women who have not previously been involved in the advocacy and policy arenas to advocate for their health, the health of their families and the Black community. To date, the ATP has produced more than one hundred fifty (150) women's health advocates in Los Angeles and the San Francisco/ Bay Area.
Our story:
In 1994, we created "The Well," a women's self-help resource center located on the first floor of a low-income housing development in South Los Angeles. For 9 years, we provided health education workshops on breast cancer, domestic violence and HIV/AIDS prevention, free fitness and nutrition classes and self-help workshops for local women. Our community partners provided family planning services, substance abuse and drug intervention and other services as part of our collaborative community-based model. From 1995-1999, we hosted "Walking for Wellness" events in Oakland, Sacramento and Los Angeles with 5,000 women participants, while we managed a small policy office in Sacramento. In 1999, after meeting with stakeholders and community leaders, we began building a movement to increase our policy and advocacy presence in the state. We moved our statewide office to downtown Inglewood and embarked on a statewide survey to assess Black women's health concerns and needs. Nearly 1400 women throughout California completed the survey and nearly 100 participated in focus groups. The results of this survey were published in a report entitled "Unheard Voices: Findings from the California Black Women's Health Survey of 2000-2001" and they continue to drive our policy, advocacy, education and outreach work.

As a farm machinery mechanic and writer, Dan brings a hands-on approach that only a pro can muster. Along with his In the Shop blog, Dan writes a column by the same name as well as the Shop Series for Farm Journal magazine. Always providing practical information, he is a master at tackling technical topics and making them easy for all of our readers to understand. He and his wife, Becky, live near Bouton, Iowa.
Farm machinery has never been more durable. A century of intense design escalation, enhanced in recent decades by improved metallurgy and sophisticated manufacturing processes, has led to tractors, combines, sprayers and other farm machines that are stronger and more durable than any in history.
Yes, they still break down. But if you installed engines with comparable horsepower, or pulled equal loads, or hauled similar quantities of grain, hay or commodities in machines designed in the 1950s, there would be nothing left after a day's work but a pile of crumpled, crushed, smoking metal. We sometimes forget, when harvesting 12 rows of 200-bushel corn at 5 miles an hour, what incredible demands we're putting on these modern machines--and they're handling it.
But--while we've escalated the quaility and durability of the machinery, we've also escalated the complexity of the systems on those machines, and simultaneously increased but decreased the operator's role in the scheme of things. There are too many things for one person to keep track of, so we've added automatic header height control, GPS-guided auto-steer, and all sorts of machine monitoring systems. We're to the point where, once a machine is calibrated and "all systems are go," the operator has nothing to do but sit there and try to stay awake.
Which leads to problems in two directions:
-first, all that automation has immensely increased the amount of switches, sensors, potentiometers, wiring harnesses and computers on farm equipment. Many of those gadgets must be located in high risk locations--under corn snouts, on the ends of grain platforms, and always close to moving belts, pulleys and other mechanical components that love to eat, snarl, snag and destroy high-tech components. So, we've made farm equipment structurally stronger, but added miles of wiring and dozens of high-tech components prone to failure in locations on the machine that beg for damage. Lately, I've spent as much time fixing torn up wiring harnesses and repairing sensing and control systems as I have welding or bolting and unbolting broken parts.
-second, the inevitable war between man and machine. Even when all the automated systems are functioning properly, there is a tendency for man to want to dominate machine. Maybe the automatic header control system is a little too "slow," and needs to be forced up or down to get across a waterway. Maybe the auto steering system isn't cutting close enough to the fence. Perhaps the speed control isn't "pushing the machine enough", and the operator feels a need to step in and "keep the old girl full." When man consistently forces machine to do things the machine doesn't want to do, or isn't built to do, the machine has no choice but to break or fail. The converse problem is where the machine is so automated that the human becomes disengaged from its operation, and either dozes off, spaces out, or is distracted by a cell phone conversation or playing Angry Birds.
The bottom line is that we've made farm equipment more durable than it's ever been, but added lots of systems that are by nature failure-sensitive. We've also increased the opportunity for operator-induced breakdowns due to ignoring or over-riding automated systems. It's kind of "two steps forward and three steps back," as we make machinery more durable, but add systems and technology that by nature increase the potential for problems.

An Interview with Mike Bell Intel's Man on Mobile Discusses Company Culture, the Device Market, and the Importance of Software BY JOHN MOORE F resh in the smartphone and tablet market, Intel is benefiting from the experience and wisdom of veteran Mike Bell. Vice President and General Manager of New Devices, Bell is confident that Intel is poised to make a big impact in this dynamic market. "It's just a matter of time," said Bell in a recent wide-ranging interview. "Everybody says we got off to a slow start and that may be true, but we're aiming for a major share of this market." Bell joined Intel from Palm Inc. in 2010 after having previously worked at Apple where he had a hand in the creation of the iPhone*. At Intel, Bell plays the role of the archetypal outsider who challenges the status quo and inspires, if not heretical thinking, at least freewheeling tendencies. Bell launched a new tradition at Intel: within his group, those who make an extraordinary contribution earn a pirate flag to display outside their office. It's quickly become a badge of honor in a corporate culture not given to flamboyance. Intel's mobile technology has already produced results, particularly in the field of Android* smartphones. Intel's foray in the global market began in 2012 with the introduction of several Intel® Atom™ processor-based Android phones in multiple countries. The company has followed that initial rollout with a broader geographic push. In January, Intel and Safaricom, a mobile network provider in Kenya, launched the Yolo™, an Android device that marks the first Intel® processorbased smartphone in Africa. The first allotment of Yolo phones sold out in less than two weeks. In April, Intel and Etisalat Misr, a leading telecom operator in Egypt, launched the new Etisalet E-20 smartphone with Intel® Inside. In Asia and the Middle East, Lenovo now targets 15 countries with the newly available K900* phone, another Intel Atom processor-based device. In addition to the phone activity, Android tablets equipped with Intel® processors are expected to have a large impact later this year; Microsoft Windows* phones and tablets with Intel Inside already have gained considerable traction. And then there's the ASUS Fonepad*, the latest Android tablet with Intel Inside. This pocket-friendly tablet aims to incorporate all phone and tablet functions into a single device without compromise. I nte l ® S of tware Ad renal i ne 1

Rake-a-Thon is one of IU Habitat for Humanity's signature late fall fundraiser. Every year groups of volunteers go out into Bloomington and rake leafs for homeowners in exchange for the homeowner's financial donation to IU Habitat for Humanity.
Last year, with great success, we had groups going to our registered homes as well as groups going door-to-door in order to increase our efficiency and funds. This year we are hoping to do the same. Dates for this year's Rake-a-Thon are not yet determined but will be posted here once they are set.
Interested in raking? Sign up using this survey http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KWHFZMX.
Meeting place for all volunteers is at Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity House on North Jordan Avenue. Volunteers should park in the parking lot in the northwest field or on the N. Jordan if there are any spots available on the street.
Last year this event helped rake over 40 homes in the Bloomington area and raise over $2000 for the IU Habitat Chapter. If you'd like to sign up again or for the first time please just send your contact information to our event director Si Yu Huang at firstname.lastname@example.com.

DALTON GARDENS, Idaho-- Some people Dalton Gardens told KREM 2 News that they're upset about a request to house dozens of federal parolees in a new, local faculty.
Pioneer Human Services, an organization contracted through the Federal Bureau of Prisons, wants a permit to house their felons there. If approved, the criminal transitional facility would be located one block from Kootenai County Jail.
"I did not know about it," said Kim Heitstuman, "kind of sounds a little scary to have some felons next door to me."
The message on the property's real estate sign reads "sale pending." The location once housed a motorcycle shop. Flames destroyed the building last year, but builders just finished construction on the new facility.
Pioneer Human Services administers community re-entry centers for adults referred by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The organization requested a permit to operate a 43-bed criminal transitional facility in Dalton Gardens.
"It's already kind of different living next to the jail, so I know they are secure there, but having them in a house next door doesn't really feel safe," said Heitstuman.
Pioneer Human Services runs several federal re-entry faculties in Washington State. Officials say their program provides a safe, structured and supervised environment. It provides counseling services, job training, and requires parolees be fully employed or enrolled in an education program.
Dalton Garden's Planning and Zoning Commission met earlier in the week made a motion to deny the proposal. Pioneer Human Services will also have the opportunity to appeal the decision if the city rejects the permit.

The Best Free Games of the Week
Some guy once said that the only certainties in life are death, taxes, the endless geyser of internet anger, and good games that happen to be free. I can't do much about the first three (sorry), but I've cherry-picked the best of the last one and stuffed them into this here weekly column for your edification. Read on for a charming fishing game, a maddening rotational platformer, the world's first beard-based puzzle game (I assume), and a safari adventure starring arguably the greatest predator of all:
man a marble. Enjoy!

"We used this as a way to get most of our family a picture of our new baby girl. It is a super lovely layout since the majority of the space is used on your picture! The sparkle text is super pretty, the very last line of text is small, and hard to read. Overall, we loved this card!"
"Perfect, we loved it and so did everyone else. I used a photo editor app on my phone to create it. I only wish you had it as an option. Great job.Looking forward to future projects from you."
"I loved the quality of the cards, this is my second order, and will be placing another for my daughter's graduation invitations. The service is quick and fast and the pictures come as clear as submitted. I just love this company. I will recommend them to all my family and friends."
"Card was great. The colors happen to go well with several of the photos we chose. Was able to add up to 9 photos which worked really well for us"
"The cards are thick and of good quality, and the picture colors came out true. The text print is excellent. They also arrived several days earlier than expected (I ordered standard shipping). My only request is that there was an option for the back that would allow handwritten notes before the cards are sent out."

More than 125 firefighters job applicants challenged themselves Wednesday in the Candidate Physical Ability
CPAT is one of the
final stages of the application process for individuals interested in becoming
Savannah firefighters. The test was held at the National Guard Armory on
Eisenhower Drive. CPAT is a timed activity that stresses the physical abilities
and endurance of firefighter applicants.
"I do love
training. I love being sore - that I think is the best, and then coming in and
getting it done just makes it feel so much better," said Mitchell Holmes,
a firefighter job applicant.
Those who pass CPAT
and a 100-foot ladder climb to test their sensitivity to heights are scheduled
for a final interview. Those selected as firefighter trainees will then go
through 14 weeks of rigorous training through the Savannah Fire Academy before
becoming Savannah firefighters.

Anticipating that we are in the Anthropocene, How shall we proceed?
I am exploring the big question of how we shall proceed as a human family. I am attempting to allow this question to be explored and restated from as many different perspectives as possible. It is difficult to talk about the purpose without being overwhelmed with doom. I've found many individuals, as in the examples from TED talks, approaching these concerns from very different perspectives. I want to promote that open-ended open-mindedness with this question. Large scale and small scale. What can we do with our Internet? What can we do with our capacity to empathize? What can we do with our creative potential at making games out of things? What can we do politically? ...educationally? ....parenting? ...at work? ...with neighbors? ...with humor? ...with paradigm shifts? ...mentoring and setting an example? ...?
Closing Statement from Mark Hurych
The final answer is that we need to go to square one, back to the drawing board. We need new ways of connecting and celebrating our solutions as we find them. Our tribes or "in" groups need to expand to include all humanity.
Extinction episodes do not look good for large species such as ours, so we need to take our motives to a place where we can engage in the greater good for the long long term.
Excellent isolated solutions continue to pop up. They need support and scaling up. We are threatening our own mother Earth. While our brains have enlarged (last 10,000 years) our thriving senses have shrunk, or been ignored. Crops, houses, and domesticated animals grounded us in security but also robbed us of the perspective of our own participation in nature.
We are of nature and we can and must harness our knowledge for the collective good of the biosphere.
Now let's get out there and win this one for the millennia to come!
"Physical fitness" is a wonderful term. What about loving fitness, eusociality fitness, relationship fitness, tribal upgrade fitness, innovative fitness, acceptance fitness, wisdom fitness, inspiring fitness, supportive fitness, cradle-to-cradle fitness, sustainability fitness...
...and on and on until we've got integrated planet fitness.

Apr 16 2012: Can't resist giving you another poem from the same lot of ten years ago
Illegal Lodgiing
Illegal lodging, So they say
Is what a bum does
When he has no place to stay
(It would be alright
In a motorhome all shiny-brite,
For a rich man to sleep wherever he might)
But one who hasn't got the cash to pay
Some landlord who hasn't found a way
To collect a fat fire insurance Christmas day
Will find himself in a dingy cell
(just one step up from hell)
Paid for him by someone who yells,
He's costing us a fortune!

Man pleads guilty in Seattle terror plot
One-half of a duo charged with planning a terrorist attack on a Seattle military installation pleaded guilty to federal charges Thursday.
Walli Mujahidh's guilty plea to charges, including conspiracy to murder officers and agents of the United States and conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, will help him avoid a life sentence.
Mujahidh, 32, and Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif were charged with plotting to use assault rifles to attack the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) on Seattle's East Marginal Way.
A sting operation conducted by the Joint Terrorism Task Force foiled the plot in June.
"This defendant tried to carry out a plot to kill American servicemen and women, and other innocent citizens who happened to be at the federal facility on the day of the planned attack," said U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan.
"I applaud the FBI, Seattle Police Department and the Joint Terrorism Task Force for their work in disrupting this plot
If the plea deal is accepted, Mujahidh will be sentenced to between 27 and 32 years in prison.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

The Yemeni authorities said on Wednesday they have removed all landmines from the public offices and schools in Abyan in the south after the victory on Al-Qaeda last month.
After weeks of work, the authorities have removed 80% percent of landmines in Zinjibar, the capital, which were planted by Al-Qaeda militants during the occupation of key towns in Abyan, officials said.
"All public offices and schools are now free from landmines," spokesman for the military committee, Saeed Ubaid, said.
The technical teams will continue their job during Ramadan to help the displaced families return to their homes, Ubaid added.

Richmond and Henrico police attempted to serve a search warrant at a home on Conway St. and Laburnum Ave. in Henrico that turned into a standoff that lasted for several hours.
Richmond police tells us this is related to a deadly shooting early this morning in the city's east end. A black female, believed to be in her 20's, was found shot in the 2700 block of the Richmond-Henrico Turnpike. She was taken to VCU Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
Richmond police say they went to the home on Conway St. looking for evidence and that Henrico police assisted in serving the warrant.
Thomas Green fought back tears as he watched from across the street as several police officers and a SWAT team close in on a home where he says his sister was possibly shot. Green also told us that the home belong to the mother of his sister's boyfriend and children's father.
"She was a good woman man just doing the right thing," Thomas Green said.
Thomas says his sister was shot last night and taken to this wooded area off the Richmond-Henrico Turnpike. Richmond Police have yet to confirm that the women they found in the area just after 2 this morning is Thomas sister.
They came across a women believed to be in her 20s suffering from a gunshot wound. She was taken to VCU Medical Center and later died. Thomas says his heart is with his niece and nephew who seemingly will now have to grow up without either one of their parents.
"I've seen my little niece I haven't seen my nephew yet but I couldn't even tell her the situation. Its hard. How can you explain that to a four year old, you wouldn't want to go home and explain something like that to your four year old," Green said.
Police are still working this investigation and ask that anyone with information contact Crime Stoppers. That number is 804-780-1000.

Biltmore Dive returns!
I've been struggling with the decision on whether to release ambient material under Jatun or not these last couple of years. Now I've made the decision and I'm sticking to it!
I've recorded 8 albums to tape over the last couple of months and am currently mastering the first album. With a focus on analog modular synthesis, all albums feature nothing but pure ambient improvisational material that has been recorded directly to tape with no post processing. First release is planned for Spring / Summer 2014.
While I will occasionally post major announcements for my side projects on the Jatun website, I am going to keep things mostly in their place. So either follow Biltmore Dive on Facebook or bookmark the Biltmore Dive website for information on the upcoming album release.
You can now preorder the new anklebiter album! I had a blast crafting sounds for this album on the modular, and provided a bit of guitar as well. The preorder includes an immediate digital download of the track "Werewolf of Portland". The album will be released in a limited CD sleeve with a special free promo photo on February 26th on Crime League Records.
Preorder the album here
Pinscape's album is finally finished, with the mastering handled by Taylor Deupree. Anklebiter's album is just about finished, which I contributed to. High Light's debut album is finished and we're currently sending it out to labels at the moment.
And now that those albums are all finished and taken care of, I can get back to Jatun. I've got a couple cassette releases in the works, s/t & Blanket of Ash out takes, Temporary Expedient II, and a full-length album which is all collaborations. Wave Effect EP got help up due to technical difficulties with one of the tracks, but it's now good to go. Just need to make sure the master sounds good everywhere. Expect it soon.
A couple years ago my friend Roger Seliner and his friends got together to watch some videos and listen to music & hang out. He played the vinyl copy of Blanket of Ash to a film about NASA's space shuttle program, called The Dream Is Alive. He called me right after they had finished watching it and was tripping out cause there's a lot of moments that synch up not only in time, but the mood of the scenes reflect the music. I was intrigued to say the least. I quickly located a DVD and ordered it. I played it right away with the vinyl copy of Blanket of Ash. Sure enough, there's a lot of really cool moments that match up!You can now experience this for yourself as the film is on YouTube, so go here or view above and play Blanket of Ash at the same time. I do recommend the vinyl copy if you have it. I tried it with my iPod, it just wasn't the same. Hard to explain. Let me know what you think!
Matthew of Pinscape just uploaded a clip from my ambient set at Valentines last year. Playing "Debris of The Mosrite" off of my upcoming release, The Scientist And His Lonely Experiments.
Tim Gray and I finished mixing the debut album from our ambient project, High Light. The album is a collection of improv sessions that were recorded in my basement over the course of 6 days.
I finished up the production work on Pinscape's debut full-length album for Nueva Forma.
Last but not least, the mastering is finished for my new ambient album, 'The Scientist and His Lonely Experiments.' Trying to get the album art finished right now, and seeing about a limited cassette release.
Steve from Synthrotek filmed a part of my modular synth performance at the first cvModulator night at Control Voltage.
The patch is centered around the Impulse Drive from Circuit Abbey. Since it's a triple comparator beast, I'm using it to clock 2 different sequences in a semi-random function. I sent a clock into input 1 and an LFO into input 2, with another LFO at half division running into the injection cv (crossfader for both inputs). Grids 1 & 3 are being modulated by the Chaos Computer from Livewire Electronics. I use exhaust ports 2 & 4 on the Impulse Drive (which are divided outputs) to clock 2 different sequencers. This provides a semi-random clock which randomizes the sequences and in this way you don't need a random function on the sequencer because the clock will skip ahead to different spots thanks to the comparators. I use outs 1 & 3 on the ID to modulate the frequency knob on 2 filters which provides some nice semi-random movement.
Will be heading down to The Portland Radio Authority here in a few hours. Go to their website to hear my friend Mike Jedlicka and I play some vinyl on his show, Optic Echo Presents. The show is from 6-8pm PST tonight (July 22nd).
Mike put my section of the show up on Mixcloud! Check it: http://www.mixcloud.com/opticecho/oep-72213-jatun-guest-mix/
A recent collaboration with my old friends port-royal has finally been released! The track's title is Dämmerung and it's on a compilation which is a free / pay-what-you-want album that's available on Bandcamp. I contributed my tracks made from my Polysix, modular synthesizer and some field recordings. I'm extremely happy with the way this turned out. Feels like it should belong in a sci-fi film.
Stream the track here: http://prettyinnoise.bandcamp.com/track/port-royal-d-mmerung-feat-jatun
And download the album here: http://prettyinnoise.bandcamp.com/album/ambielogue-chapter-i
Many thanks to my port-royal for having me on this song!
Doing production work with Pinscape today. About to record some of Andrew's guitar parts. He's got some great sounds for these songs.
