Original Release Date: May 2005
DALLAS – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service's response to the needs of deployed troops in Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom is well documented. While it is understood that AAFES 'Goes Where You Go,' there has been some confusion about where the metal currency goes once troops hit the ground.
"In contingency operations, AAFES must rely on military finance for currency used in its store," said AAFES' Chief of Corporate Communications Lt. Col. Debra Pressley. "The military does not provide coins in the contingency theater due to the weight of coins and other mission priorities."
In light of the restrictions placed on metal currency, AAFES uses a variety of methods that allow it to continue to offer retail services at 54 PX/BX facilities located throughout Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom.
Many deployed troops and collectors are familiar with the flat, disc-like gift certificates worth 5, 10 and 25-cents used primarily in contingency locations to save the Department of Defense (DoD) the extra cost of transporting heavy coins into war zones. Dubbed POGs, the gift certificates were the only way AAFES could support deployed troops without access to traditional metal currency.
POGs (images available upon request) are accepted in any AAFES Exchange around the world. Sporting distinctive military imagery, they have generally been well received and have even become collectors' items. AAFES periodically introduces a new POG series with new designs that can be spent or collected. A quick Internet search reveals that several Cyber auction sites regularly put AAFES POGs up for bid.
Although POGs are used for 5, 10 and 25-cent denominations, it is not cost effective to produce penny POGs. As in Europe and the Pacific, where pennies are not available, AAFES (as a result of DoD directive) applies a rounding policy that rounds up or rounds down the cost of any cash purchase to the closest nickel.
Once purchases are totaled, AAFES rounds up prices of 3 or 4-cents and rounds down 1 and 2-cent totals. For example, if a cash purchase is $9.23, the total is rounded up to $9.25. If the total is $9.22, AAFES rounds down to $9.20. The variation of two cents on either side makes the rounding policy a virtual wash for the customer and AAFES. And, every penny spent at AAFES is returned to Morale, Welfare and Recreation dividends, capital improvements or new construction.
"AAFES' job in Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom is the most important endeavor this organization has ever undertaken," said Lt. Col. Pressley. "PX/BX facilities, call centers and name brand fast food restaurants are not set up in dangerous and austere locations to improve someone's bottom line. With or without metal coins, AAFES and it associates continue to go to contingency locations in an effort to transform the war zone into a comfort zone."
The game of POGs originated in the 1920s on the Hawaiian island of Maui. There dairy workers played the game during breaks using simple milk caps. POGs stand for an acronym for a popular Hawaiian drink made from passion fruit, oranges and guava juices. The game is played with disc-like objects which have pictures on its face side. Mass appeal has followed since reintroduction of the game in the 1990s.

By Meg Olson
Blaine city council has given staff the green light to zone a red-light district for the city, at least as far as blue-movie houses and short-time motels go. It may be the price of getting Blaines last remaining adult entertainment business out of downtown.
We are extricating the adult entertainment business from the downtown core, said planning and community development director Terry Galvin. In order to do that we need to find another location they can move to. We are required by law to provide a location for present and future adult businesses. We cannot legally disallow their use within city limits.
The area being proposed is a 35-acre triangle bounded by Yew Avenue to the west, Pipeline Road to the north and backing on Odell Road businesses to the east. It is now zoned for manufacturing. The new ordinance would allow adult entertainment as a conditional use, which would mean every applicant would have to go through a public review process. Adult entertainment will be the only commercial activity allowed in that zone, isolating it from other commercial activity, Galvin said. Adult businesses would also need to be 500 feet apart in the zone and be shielded from nearby streets and development by landscaping buffers.
Proposed new zoning would prohibit adult entertainment businesses in all other zones. Existing adult businesses would have six months to move once the ordinance is adopted. Galvin said the Seattle law firm advising the city felt the measures being proposed were legally defensible and other communities had successfully taken similar steps to counter secondary effects of adult businesses.
The only business the proposed ordinance would apply to is the Blaine Book Company on Peace Portal Drive. City manager Gary Tomsic said moving the store was the most significant obstacle to revitalizing Blaines downtown. As long as that business sits there as a sentinel advertising our community, it will be difficult to do anything else, he told a May 7 council of the whole workshop. He said several studies on downtown revitalization and tourism development have pointed to the bookstore as an obstacle to economic improvement for the area.
Police chief Bill Elfo also cited public health and safety concerns. Id rather have it out there where people go for a purpose that purpose rather than downtown where people bump into what comes out the door, he said.
Council members squirmed at the idea of creating a zone specifically for a use they want to discourage in the city, and pointed out drawbacks to putting it where staff is proposing. Pipeline Road is the shortest route for the kids to get from the school to the ballfield, John Liebert said. Im wondering if adult entertainment businesses will coexist with an expanding airport, Mike Myers added.
I dont want to see this as planning for an adult entertainment facility, Galvin said. I dont think the community wants that. The rules dont say you have to want adult entertainment businesses. You just need to set the minimum standards. He said the city had no intention of encouraging adult businesses to move into the area.
Looking at alternative locations for the adult entertainment overlay zone, specifically an area near the citys southern limit, bordered by Portal Way and the freeway, council members found as many if not more drawbacks. Galvin said as staff develops a recommendation, they will develop an analysis of alternatives.
Council member Ken Ely said his main concern was that the matter not land in court, as have all the other steps the city has taken to limit adult business. Lets make sure we have the most legally viable approach and lets go for it, he said. I dont want to be so on the edge well be snagged in court for three years.
Council members agreed that the benefit of having a main street free of adult entertainment venues was worth the risks of setting up a new zone for them. Galvin said the process of developing the new zoning was still in its initial stages. His next step will be to meet this week with the two owners of the property proposed for the overlay. Following that, there will be a series of public meetings before council is asked to decide on the ordinance.
This is a classic case of a decision that has to be made by the community through a public process, he said. If theres a tremendous amount of backlash were going to come back and rethink this.

Undergraduate Program
Course requirements are designed to introduce students to a broad set of historical, theoretical, and practical museum issues and to give them the opportunity to explore museums first-hand. Prospective minors should consult with the Director for guidance in designing a program of study.
Requirements for the Minor
Phyllis Berger
Evergreen as Muse: Photographing sculpture on the grounds of Evergreen Museum.
- A minimum of six different courses (amounting to at least 18 credits) selected from those approved by the program.
- Required courses: 389.201 and 389.202 (Introduction to the Museum sequence, offered annually).
- The remaining four courses must include: 3 credits of "practicum" [P] work; 3 upper-level courses (300-level or above); and courses from at least two different primary departments beyond Museums and Society.
Additional details:
Introduction to the Museum sequence: Ideally, students should take at least one of the two introductory courses or 389.103, Museum Matters, before enrolling in more focused courses, but this is not required.
Practicum credits: These can be earned ONLY through courses designated as "practicum" in the course description [P] because of their dependence on work with objects and/or within a museum (typically 300-level).
Departmental distribution: In keeping with the interdisciplinary nature of the program, students are encouraged to explore various fields and must complete courses in at least two different primary departments beyond Museums and Society. Primary departments are defined either as the home department for the course (identified by the course's three-digit prefix), as the first cross-listing beyond Museums and Society, or as the home discipline of the instructor. Students should seek guidance from the Director to ensure they are fulfilling this requirement, and should note that Internship and Capstone credits cannot be applied to it.
Internships and Independent Study: Students interested in doing an internship for Museums and Society credit must first consult the University's Independent Work Policy from the student handbook and secure the support of a faculty sponsor, ideally a specialist in the particular field of study. Then, in consultation with the Director, the faculty sponsor, and the on-site museum mentor, the student will write a proposal for the internship that explains the work to be undertaken at the museum and defines a related academic project for which credit will be given and the terms for its completion. Approval for credit will not be given until this proposal is approved by all three advisors.
The same general guidelines should be followed in setting up Capstone or Independent Study work for credit (for a description of the Capstone and Independent study, please see courses). In all cases, early and frequent consultation with the Program's Director is strongly recommended.
Museums and Society offers some basic guidelines for locating internships, including hosting an annual internship and career workshop and supporting a regularly updated internship list, but students are responsible for seeking out and securing such opportunities on their own.
Note that University policy allows a maximum of 1 credit for an internship and that credit cannot be awarded for paid internships.
Other information: Up to three credits of museum-based internship work and/or Museums and Society Academic Enrichment Intersession courses can be taken for a mark of satisfactory/unsatisfactory. The remaining 15 credits must be taken for a grade. No course, other than the 1-credit internship or a 1-2 credit Capstone or Independent Study (up to a maximum, may be counted toward the minor more than once.
A checklist is available here in pdf and here in Word; further guidelines are available through the Office of Academic Advising.

Novell and NTP today announced their own versions of file sharing services for mobile devices. Novell announced Filr and NTP unveiled Universal File Access.
Both apps address file sharing in a similar way, by using an organization's existing filers and active directories for user identification and access rights.
[ For more on securing BYOD, check out: Buckle up -- here comes the hard part of mobile. | Understand how to both manage and benefit from the consumerization of IT with InfoWorld's "Consumerization Digital Spotlight" PDF special report. | Subscribe to InfoWorld's Consumerization of IT newsletter today. ]
Novell, which was acquired by Attachmate Corp. in 2010, said it's getting back to its roots in intelligent workload management through its Filr service. Novel's Filr service leverages a business's existing infrastructure through an on-premise, virtual appliance that exposes applications to users through traditional file servers.
The virtual appliance integrates with a company's active directory, including NetIQ eDirectory and Microsoft Active Directory, which it then uses to authenticate users. So, there's no need to create a new user repository in order to find out who accessing content behind the firewall, according to Eric Varness, vice president of product management at Novell.
"We're tapping into the file and networking expertise that we've been selling for 30 years," Varness said. "You can't compare us to Dropbox as they're more consumer market oriented ... and Box.com is still cloud based."
Filr uses wireline encryption through secure socket layer, the same type of authentication that banks use for online transaction processing. On the mobile devices, Novell relies on the built-in device encryption. That can be enforced by using an mobile device management (MDM) tool such as ZENworks Mobile Management.
Filr also offers global search capabilities across an organization, also based on a user's access rights. If a user makes changes to a file offline, those changes will be synchronized when they're back online.
The application also allows employee collaboration on a file with the ability for multiple users to add commentary and work on a single document simultaneously while keeping the document secure.
NTP's Universal File Access
NTP's Universal File Access is a SaaS offering that maintains a connection with an on-premis Windows virtual machine (VM) and integrates with common storage hosts, in a private cloud or even object stores to offer access to corporate data behind the firewall.
NTP's Cloud Connector offers one or more services that maintain a connection between internal storage hosts and its Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) Manager.
"Those VMs communicate with our suites of applications developed for Android, Windows and iOS," said NTP CEO Bruce Backa. "All the user has to do is get all the VMs running in the hosting environment and tell the VM which shares to make available across the cloud."

Is the mod dead, or sleeping?
Closed alpha release: Closed! Working hard on a public beta.
Mod team:
- Mularac - Project leader, senior programmer.
For questions, comments and everythin else contact me at email@example.com
SVN url of the project: https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/conquest-ntji/
Current revision: 24
0 comments by Mularac on Oct 2nd, 2011
When I created this mod I've been promising a closed alpha by the end of last month, so here it is (a bit overdue, perhaps).
Everyone interested in helping improve and hunt all the bugs is more than welcome to send me an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject "Conquest mod alpha testing". In this mail you're to make your case explaining why you think you're fit to be an alpha tester.
I'm also open for new recruits to help developing the mod. If you want in, you don't have to know to mod, model or script, all I really need is committed people with time and dedication to help me brainstorm, point out design flaws and come up with new ideas and useful criticism of the mod.
I'm also releasing the source code of the mod. Please know that with the source code alone you won't be able to play the mod, you'll need a couple of textures and models I'd only be releasing to the alpha
testers. That way I won't be spoiling the mod for everyone. The actual reason of this open source thing is to have alpha testers know when a new version is available and have it available for modders to
take a look at.
The SVN url of the project and it's rss feed has been posted on the mod's front page.
Looking forward from hearing from you,
Is the mod dead, or sleeping?
nexus 2 is live at kickstarter this time the goal is 650 000$ spread the word lets make it this time

This looks like a great idea, if you are removing ship customization it would be great if you had a fleet flagship that you could customize.
he. Not one, 5, my friend.
Mularac...the job you've done so far simply looks amazing.
keep up the great work!
This is the mod i think everyone wanted to see for nexus!
Keep up the good work, i'm tracking this!
Thanks for this mod!
I'm looking for someone to help me out with the PR of the mod, if you want to, just send me an email and we can start working something out.
sounds really awesome.
By the way, Nexus was just released on GOG. Expect more players in the future!

text: 000 FXUS63 KPAH 191157 AFDPAH AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 656 AM CDT Fri Sep 19 2014 .UPDATE... Issued at 656 AM CDT FRI SEP 19 2014 The AVIATION section has been updated for the 12Z TAF issuance. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday) Issued at 340 AM CDT FRI SEP 19 2014 A light northeast wind and some at least scattered 5-6kft clouds are helping to keep fog development at bay through 08Z. KCGI and KMDH have seen visibilities drop to IFR levels periodically since midnight, but figure if dense fog develops it will be very localized and likely short-lived. Have no plans for a Special Weather Statement or mention in the HWO at this time, but will continue to monitor. The 00Z models are in agreement that high pressure will dominate at the surface and aloft today and tonight. There will be a minor trough at the surface that will lift north and west late today and tonight on the periphery of the larger-scale high. This will lead to an increase in low-level moisture, at least in the southern half of the area. The models have trended a bit more humid for Saturday, with dewpoints climbing into the middle and upper 60s ahead of the cold front. They also continue to keep the cold front well north of the area through the day, and there should not be much more than some cu through the day. The lone exception, if the NAM and NMM WRF are correct, is some isolated convection in a zone from KPAH to near KEVV and KOWB in the afternoon. NAM soundings show significant CAPE, over 3000J/Kg, with steep low-level lapse rates and a lot of dry air in the mid and upper levels. Wind fields are weak, but some pulsy storms may be able to produce some wind gusts 40kts or more in this environment, if a storm can develop. Inserted a slight chance PoP for this possibility. Some of this activity may linger into the evening, but convection associated with the cold front is not likely to reach the area until after midnight, if at all. The trend for this system is definitely progressive and drier, with convection generally traversing the area from 06Z-18Z Sunday. The NAM holds up the front just a bit, and generates a nice area of convection in the afternoon from the Bootheel through much of west Kentucky. Given the sharp, amplified mid/upper systems accompanying the front in the 12Z GFS and ECMWF, really cannot see the front hanging up. That said, will not cut the PoPs too fine on Sunday, and just keep one 12-hour PoP for the whole day. PoPs are generally 30-40% with the best PoPs over the Evansville Tri State in the overnight hours and early Sunday. There just is not enough low-level moisture for this system to work with. None of the models is currently bringing any of the tropical remnants into the region, so locally heavy rainfall is not that much of a concern either. .LONG TERM...(Sunday Night through Thursday) Issued at 340 AM CDT FRI SEP 19 2014 Surface high pressure will build across the region Sunday night and Monday in the wake of the weekend storm system. There is some minor discrepancy between the GFS and ECMWF in how much cold advection will occur with the northerly winds through Monday. The GFS is warmer, and that seems reasonable, given the rather short period of significant advections into the region. Both models begin to build a ridge of high pressure aloft over the region as early as Monday afternoon. This will result in high pressure at the surface and aloft that will persist through the work week. Look for temperatures to drop just a bit below normal Monday and possibly Tuesday, but highs should be back into the 80s for Wednesday through the remainder of the week. Would expect the forecast to trend warmer with time for the early part of the week, and possibly through the entire week. There will be a very dry airmass in place, so guidance may be under-estimating the diurnal range through the week. && .AVIATION... Issued at 656 AM CDT FRI SEP 19 2014 Surface high pressure will continue to dominate the region through tonight. Winds will be light through the period. East northeast winds today will gradually veer to southeast tonight. Some scattered 4-6kft clouds will linger in the vicinity of KCGI and KPAH through the period. IFR fog at the beginning of the period at KCGI will dissipate by 14Z. Figure there will be enough wind to keep fog out of the forecast late tonight. Some guidance is advertising lower VFR ceilings pushing northwest toward the terminals late tonight. This would be most likely at KOWB and KPAH. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...NONE. MO...NONE. IN...NONE. KY...NONE. && $$ UPDATE...DRS SHORT TERM...DRS LONG TERM...DRS AVIATION...DRS

About the authorView articles
Matthews Pennington and Kennedy helped Tranmere pick up a vital three points before being recalled to Everton.
The duo had been on loan at Prenton Park since January but are now back at Finch Farm to aid the Under-21s' league run-in.
Both started the 3-1 win at home to Coventry City, with Pennington having a say in the opener.
Racing up from right-back, the 19-year-old evaded one challenge and entered the area only to brought down by Billy Daniels.
Ryan Lowe netted the penalty to put the Super Whites on their way and Kennedy claimed his own assist with the third goal on 64 minutes, skipping past Cyrus Christie and crossing low for Jake Kirby to tap home.
The pair leave Tranmere 18th in League One having opened up a three-point gap above the relegation places.
The past fortnight was similarly productive in Yeovil Town's fight against the drop.
Shane Duffy and John Lundstram are both with the Glovers for the remainder of the season and they played their part in picking up four points from six this past week.
On Tuesday, Yeovil earned a 0-0 draw at home to last year's Playoff finalists Watford.
Lundstram was unable to net on his 20th birthday, but defender Duffy will have been pleased with the clean sheet and another commanding performance.
Things were to get even better on Saturday in a potential 'six-pointer' against relegation rivals Doncaster Rovers.
James Hayter's 59th-minute penalty was the decisive strike in the 1-0 win at Huish Park.
Lundstram missed out on the chance to face the side he helped seal promotion to the Championship with last term, but Duffy played the ball which led to the crucial spot-kick being awarded.
Yeovil remain bottom of the table with 25 points from 31 games, with a trip to Reading next up this Saturday.
Francisco Junior switched loan clubs last week and will remain with Norwegian champions Stomsgodset until 15 July.
After finding game time hard to come by at Vitesse Arnhem, he now takes on a new challenge as Ronny Deila's side undergo pre-season.
Stromsgodset had two friendlies at the weekend - against Russian sides currently halfway through their own campaign.
Junior did not feature in the 3-0 defeat to CSKA Moscow but did play the full 90 minutes in a truly bizarre hammering at the hands of Lokomotiv Moscow.
The Norwegians had tried to postpone the game in advance, but the Russians refused and ran out 15-0 victors.
With injuries adding to a shortage of players, the team coach and assistant manager both took to the field as well as Spanish locals who had been approached near the training camp.
Former Tottenham striker Roman Pavluychenko grabbed a hat-trick before the referee opted to call time on the game after 83 minutes.
Stromsgodset have three more friendlies scheduled before the start of the campaign on 30 March.

All Blacks End 24-Year Drought
New Zealand finally shook the unenviable chokers tag and recaptured the Webb Ellis Cup after 24 years of agony with a thrilling 8-7 victory over France at Auckland's Eden Park on Sunday.
The French pitched up for the main event and delivered their best performance of the tournament as they threw everything at their hosts.
The biggest event in World Cup history kicked off with the French accepting the All Black challenge laid down by their haka as they formed an arrow formation behind their skipper Thierry Dusautoir, fanning out and marching toward the war cry.
Both teams rightly seemed pumped up for the biggest event of their lives and the initial confrontation proved this as both threw everything into the early tackles and rucks.
Dimitri Yachvili would make the first mistake of the match as his tactical kick went directly into touch, yet the All Blacks gave the ball straight back with an uncharacteristic loose lineout. The pressure of the final was clear for all to see.
It was the French who built some early continuity with ball in hand as they looked to get their outside backs involved.
Despite finding themselves on the back foot, having to make plenty of tackles in the first five minutes, it was the home team who got the first opportunity to open the scoring as referee Craig Joubert pinned France for an offside offence on the first occasion that the men in black ventured into the French half.
Piri Weepu would miss his first attempt and the French would continue to dominate territory and possession for most of the first fifteen minutes.
Les Blues, however, were unable to convert their early dominance into points and they paid the ultimate price when Tony Woodcock went over for the opening try of the World Cup final from a well worked lineout move.
Weepu had kicked a pin-point penalty kick from just inside his own half to 15 metres short of the French line and as is often the case with the New Zealanders, they made their first visit to their opponents' quarter count.
Jerome Kaino took the ball at the back of the lineout and popped it smartly back inside in mid air to his loosehead prop who came on a perfectly angled run straight through the non-existent French defence.
Despite the early set-back the visitors rightly stuck to their recipe of playing a more expansive game as they knew that it was arguably their only chance of pulling off a major upset.
Though the intentions, effort and vigour of the French did not diminish, the All Blacks were able to find their rhythm in the second quarter but the errant boot of Weepu kept the score at only 5-0.
In the 35the minute, the All Blacks were dealt a cruel blow when flyhalf Aaron Cruden limped off with a knee injury. The same had happened to their opponents, who lost Morgan Parra early on, resulting in Stephen Donald and Francois Trinh-Duc to take over the pivot duties for their respective sides.
With the score at 5-0 at the break it was probably a fair reflection of the game despite France being a tad unlucky not be on the score board for their endeavour and good constructive play, yet they were also fortunate that the All Blacks had squandered eight points with the boot.
There would have been many a nervous All Black fan in the stands and coach Graham Henry must have had harsh words for his team to ensure they put the French away as soon as possible rather than keeping the most famous of underdogs in with a sniff as they have the habit of clinching matches at the death.
After a missed penalty opportunity by Yachvili, fourth-choice All Black flyhalf Donald stepped up to the plate to slot the first kick of the match and with the first few minutes of the second stint done, the home supporters could find some comfort in an eight-point lead.
The relief soon turned to panic as Weepu's night went from bad to horrible as his lackadaisical play at the rucks allowed the French to chip the loose ball forward with Trinh-Duc collecting and setting off toward the try line. Desperate All Black defence would stop him short, but eventually Dusautoir was on hand to slide over and pull the score to 8-7.
Having almost expected their team to have things their own way in the final, the New Zealanders in the stand would have been at the edge of their seats as they now saw their team in the scrap of their lives for the remaining half hour.
France had their tails up and were throwing the kitchen sink at the home team who had introduced plenty of fresh legs, including the substitution of hero-turned-villain Weepu, who had a night he would rather want to forget.
Moving into the final quarter of the match, the game was in the balance and either team seemed capable of coming away with the win. Trinh-Duc lined up a long-distance penalty kick from the halfway line, but unfortunately for Les Bleus he pulled his kick to the right.
France, however, kept coming at the All Blacks and were holding nothing back both in attack and defence. The home team were relying on tactical kicks and their fantastic discipline to get them home.
From the 70th minute to the 77th minute, the French first took the ball through more than 16 phases with most of these inside New Zealand's half of the field before they won a scrum from where the men from the Northern Hemisphere had another crack at the All Blacks, but the efforts of All Black skipper Richie McCaw saw the turnover come for the New Zealanders.
They could easily have conceded a penalty which would have cost them the game but in the end it was the match-winning moment as France would not get another opportunity to get their hands on the ball.
In the end, it was a fantastic, tight, tough final and one which capped a brilliant tournament. The passionate French performance was one of courage and one where they followed the right game plan and executed it with aplomb.
Yet the All Blacks are a champion side and they proved it with their pure determination and excellent discipline on defence when it mattered most.
Over the course of the entire tournament, the All Blacks were deserved winners of the Web Ellis Cup in the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand.
SARugby.com Man of the Match: The French deserve credit for the way that they pitched up for the big event. They played with passion and their courageous captain Thierry Dusautoir led by example.
He left it all out on the park and was everywhere - making tackles, contesting for ball on the ground, carrying the ball well and scoring his team's try.
New Zealand - Try: Tony Woodcock. Penalties: Stephen Donald.
France - Try: Thierry Dusautoir. Conversion: Francois Trinh-Duc.

Hospital Birth vs. Home Birth: A Debate on Choices
Dr. Jay DiLeo, OB-GYN, with midwife advocate James Henderson, Esq.
The ACOG position on home birth, while possibly well-meaning, is an unsupported, self-serving statement. I could just as easily state that the drive to and from the hospital "clearly presents potential hazards" to the mother, father, and baby, yet not even I would argue that that is reason enough not to go to the hospital. ACOG has a vested economic interest in making sure that mothers keep coming to hospitals to birth their babies, so a blanket statement such as the one you cite simply cannot be read by a reasonable person outside of this context.
This statement does not mention that, during labor and delivery in a hospital, mother and child will be exposed to "germs" and other pathogens that are not present in the home (even if they are, the mother and child have already been exposed to them during the pregnancy). In the end, ACOG makes assertions, which you mirror in your book, that only serve to frighten those who might be considering, in good conscience, the option to birth outside the hospital. ACOG does not provide scientific support for its statement; if that is the basis of the reflection in your book, I again challenge you to provide that support.
You say that "the current thinking" is that neonatal mortality is three times as high in the home as in the hospital (even though it is low in the home). First, what is the basis of this "current thinking"? I can think of a lot of things regarding the law, but that doesn't make them right. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently stated that "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional, but I dare say that most Americans think quite to the contrary. In the end, the Supreme Court will have the final say. Your reference to "current thinking," in order to convince me, needs to be supported. If the risk is indeed that great, then show me that this is the case and I will pass that onto my colleagues.
Second, statistics themselves can be manipulated. (I'm sure you've heard the old saying, "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.") What is the context for the statistics to which you refer? Are the home births planned or accidental? Are the mothers healthy, the babies full term? Has there been consistent prenatal care? These are questions that must be answered in order to put these statistics in the correct context. Even if you are right that the mortality risk is three time as high in the home, if that means that three out of 1,000,000 cases, compared with one out of 1,000,000, then it is simply irresponsible to use that statistic to discredit all practitioners who serve persons who birth outside the hospital.
Third, you mention that "Certainly the risk is low when you take the whole population into account, but on an individual basis, the statistics aren't reassuring if you're that one person out of hundreds or thousands that it happens to." Yet, this approach to life would have us lock up our kids in our home for fear that some stranger might come in contact with them. Or even stay at home because babies die at the hospital, too. The studies to which I refer support the argument that home birth is as safe as (if not safer than) birth in the hospital, even when you consider the additional "risks" associated with not being in the hospital. To be fair and true to the science, your writings in print and online should reflect this, not the fear or anxiety that you profess that expectant parents should have.
You cannot compare home and hospital birth statistics without looking at the morbidity (and, yes, mortality) caused by interventions routinely practiced in hospitals. Home birth outcomes are better partly because the mothers are arguably healthier and more engaged than your average hospital patient (as you appear to indicate); they also have better outcomes because it would be unethical to practice many standard hospital interventions at home. Therefore, even accounting for transports, there are lower Cesarean rates, lower numbers of forceps deliveries, and fewer mothers requiring induction or anesthesia among mothers who planned to birth their babies at home. Although each intervention was created for good reason, with each one offered, the morbidity and mortality rates can rise.

TORONTO -- He was a rugged defensive lineman who earned a Grey Cup ring with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats before becoming a captain on the Toronto Argonauts famed "Dirty Dozen" defence.
On Friday, former defensive tackle Bruce Smith died. He was 63.
Smith had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and recently was admitted into a Toronto hospital.
Smith played his college football at Colorado before beginning his CFL career with Hamilton in 1972. The native of Huntsville, Texas, was a member of the Ticats' squad that defeated Saskatchewan 13-10 at Ivor Wynne Stadium in the Grey Cup game that season.
But Smith readily admitted he came to Canada with a chip on his shoulder as a result of the racism he had faced earlier on in his life, and that hampered him early in his CFL career.
After the '72 season, Smith spent time with Edmonton and Ottawa before arriving in Toronto. He spent four seasons with the Argos (1976-'79) before leaving football and retiring.
Although Toronto posted losing records in each of the four years Smith was there, he and fellow teammates Granville (Granny) Liggins and Ecomet Burley helped anchor the team's "Dirty Dozen" defence, a unit that despite the squad's losing ways was still one of the CFL's best.
Smith dressed in 44 regular-season games with Toronto.
"The key to our defensive success was (assistant coach) Lamar Leachman," Smith recalled in a 1996 story on the Argos' website. "He was a coach ahead of his time, and he certainly made me the best player that I could become."
Despite the losing seasons, Smith always had fond memories of his time in an Argos uniform.
"It was some fun times; I remember that the Argos were a hot ticket," he said. "I liked living in Canada and the people here.
"Canada was much more an area of tolerance. People here just tend to get along."
That wasn't always the case when Smith was growing up in and experienced racism.
"I grew up in a totally segregated situation," said Smith. "(In Canada), people treat you on your own merits."
After football, Smith settled in Toronto and became a salesman with Canada Trust. He was a top seller in five of his six years there before ultimately establishing his own real estate firm, Bruce Smith Realty, in 1987.
Smith was also a man of faith, serving as the Chaplain for King Bay Chaplaincy and Upper Canada College's Chaplain Service. He spent a lot of time as a public speaker and was a children's book author.
"They used to call me the grizzly bear, but now I'm the panda bear," Smith said with a chuckle.
Smith is survived by his wife, Shirley, and children Courtne and Coby.

PLYMOUTH — When Travis Pastrana took a spill at the X Games Thursday night, it wasn't just the motocross champion's foot that took a hit.
Pastrana's fall at the X games broke two bones in his right foot and ankle, and he was scheduled for surgery on Friday. He'll still attend TCU Night at the Plymouth Speedway to sign autographs and meet with fans, but the injured daredevil will be forced to sit out the Freestyle Motocross Show following the race.
CULVER — Matt Thompson has joined Culver Academies as the new Director of Athletics. Thompson comes to Culver from Beaver Country Day School in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, where he spent four years as the associate athletic director, physical education teacher and coach.
Prior to his time at BCDS, he served as the athletic director, Spanish teacher, and coach at the Knox School in St. James, New York.

VIDEO: Woman avoids getting shot in Hyde Park
A woman walking along a Hyde Park street Friday was assaulted by a man with a gun who pulled the trigger, but nothing happened.
Boston police on Wednesday released shocking surveillance video of the incident. The man wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt gets out of a car as the woman walks nearby on Crown Point Drive just before 6:30 a.m.
The man then walks up to the woman and, police said, points a gun at her. The woman's expression turns to shock and fright as she holds her hands up to her face.
Police said the man pointed a gun directly at her and pulled the trigger, but no shots were fired.
The man then got into the back seat of the car and someone else drives away.
Anyone with information is asked to call 617-343-4595.

We wanted to share the most recent developments in our goal to resume sand drag racing in Southern California.
First, we want to thank Lucas Oil Products for all their support and assistance in our quest to hold races at Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park. Lucas Oil has been awesome and we look forward to their continued sponsorship.
Second, we have some unpleasant news. Due to the unreasonable and excessive costs by the City of Lake Elsinore (permit requirements) and Lake Elsinore Motorsports Park, we will not be racing at Lake Elsinore. We are extremely disappointed as we all know this would have been an ideal location to race and grow the sport we all love.
It is said that when one door closes another door opens. This is the mindset we must have as we resume our search for another location – we haven't given up yet – so please don't give up on us!
We will provide another update mid-August – so stay tuned! As always, we encourage our sand drag family to continue to support the other race venues.

Battle Born - The Killers
- Band Name: The Killers
- Record Label: Island
- Release Date: Sep 18, 2012
- Summary: The fourth release for the Las Vegas pop band features production from Daniel Lanois, Steve Lillywhite, Brendan O'Brien, Stuart Price, and Damian Taylor.
- Record Label: Island
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 14 out of 27
Mixed: 12 out of 27
Negative: 1 out of 27
Sep 18, 2012Battle Born is the kind of rock 'n' roll record that almost nobody makes anymore: it's bombastic and excessive and oversized, but it's also a grand and universal statement, a master class of album structure and sequencing, and a culmination of everything Brandon Flowers and The Killers have done up to this point.
Sep 14, 2012Battle Born is a belter, an album made for bedrooms, stadiums and old-school denim jacket patches alike.
Sep 17, 2012For the first time, the ballads are as memorable as the dance cuts.
Oct 4, 2012Naturally there some moments where having too producers and visions hurts them, but for the most part, the band sticks to the formula that's worked in the past.
Sep 17, 2012With their simultaneous emphasis on the pedal-to-the-metal triumphalism of rock's yesteryear and their ultimate submission to tomorrow's grinding machinery, the Killers' new album may as well be called Battle Born This Way.
Dec 4, 2012They too often edge into Meat Loaf/Jim Steinman territory, where every detail becomes a cause for operatic exaggeration and any clunky line or cliche sounds ridiculous. [No. 93, p.56]
Sep 24, 2012Battle Born is a confused mess of an album, drenched in influences but positively overextended in its execution, the band trying way too hard to do something grander and more complex than what they've done before.
Score distribution:
Positive: 24 out of 29
Mixed: 3 out of 29
Negative: 2 out of 29
Sep 18, 2012well you should know before hear this album:it's the perfect combination of all the other 3 albums toghether and we can take from this that this it's a masterpiece!! the whole album its something very pleasure to be hear the sound of guitar the brilliant vocal os brandon flowers..and plus i can image the band playing Flesh and Bone in the shows:it's going to be amazing congratulations for this brilliant album… Expand
Sep 21, 2012The Battle Born theme throughout the album is something I really liked. "Flesh and Bone" starts it out fantastically and is one of the best tracks. Also their single "Runaways" is back and it still stands strong with the rest of the album. Some other tracks like "Here With Me" and "Battle Born" also caught my attention and help the album shine. The rest of it is adequate, and I love The Killers don't get me wrong but I really enjoyed those 4 tracks (the Flesh and Bone remix to add to the list) I listened to more than everything else. Solid album from The Killers and I'm interested in what's down the road.… Expand
Feb 23, 2013On first impression this sounded bloated, over produced and underwhelming but as I really enjoyed all their of their previous albums, I decided to give this time and space to breathe before making up my mind. I'm glad I did. On repeat listens there are some excellent songs on here and some really great songwriting on display although too often the bands talent is completely smothered by overproduction. I really think this album would have majorly benefitted from an Indie Rock production approach instead of the Stadium Rock production thats on show. I know it's totally not cool to like The Killers anymore, but given a chance, this record has many charms.… Expand
Dec 3, 2012At first listen, this album feels like a very by-the-book, stadium rocker album. There isn't anything that immediately grabs you as innovative. It's also lacking the aggressive punch of the first two albums. Even the songs that try to "rock" feel more like and attempt to be powerful than actually conveying power. That being said, the hooks are memorable. You can't help humming the songs. They keep pulling you back for another listen. This has the feel of a bad-boy band all grown up. Even though it's more mainstream, it's still worth the listen.… Expand
Feb 12, 2013Finally, after a four-year hiatus, The Killers broke the silence with their fourth studio album, 2012's Battle Born. Turns out silence would've been easier on the ears. This album couldn't have been further from Hot Fuss and Sam's Town if they'd tried (and they may've; it's really bad). It's almost as if they decided to remake Day Age with more engineering and less emotion (if that's even possible). I don't know who their target audience is nowadays, and I'm not sure they do either; all I know is that it can't be the same people who made their earlier works fly off the shelves, skyrocketing them into superstardom. I guess "what happens in Vegas" really should "stay in Vegas". My guess is that The Killers will be reduced to 'house band' at Caesar's Palace in no time. On a positive note, Battle Born makes me appreciate Day Age a lot more than I ever thought I could. Oh, and I think it's time for The Killers to change their name to something a little less aggressive, such as "The Whiners" or perhaps "The Fray". They don't deserve a cool name anymore.… Expand

The exhibition features painting, photography, sculpture, video, installation and more. The exhibition charts the many ways contemporary artists engage with the transforming landscape of the world today.
Seventeen graduates will display their artwork in two different locations: the Main Gallery at The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University, 700 Beacon Street, Boston; and at AIB's University Hall Gallery, 1815 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge.
The January 2013 graduates, who represent the program's seventeenth graduating class, are: Casey Arbor, Nina Ata, Seth Boggs, Mary Crenshaw, Noelle Fiori, Jennifer Harriman, Flannon Jackson, Rita Koehler, Ya La'ford, Julie Lindell, Jennifer Longworth, Mandy Mahaffey, Jenna Powell, Shawn Saumell, Kristin Selesnick, Leigh Yardley, and MollyYergens.
The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Visual Arts is a low-residency program that attracts students from all over the country as well as internationally who want to earn a master's degree without relocating, giving up their day jobs, or taking classes online.
The residencies are intense – students spend ten days on campus each semester with fellow students and faculty advisors, who are working practitioners in the field. The students then return home to create their artwork, meet with their local mentors, and continue their dialogue with Faculty Advisors at The Art Institute of Boston.
"The interdisciplinary focus of the MFA program encourages the students to explore the integration of a variety of visual art media, while simultaneously encouraging the refinement of each artist's individual vision," says Judith Barry, director of the MFA program in Visual Arts.
Friday, January 11, from 8 to 9:30 p.m. at AIB's University Hall Gallery, 1815 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge.
Artists: Casey Arbor, Seth Boggs, Noelle Fiori, Jennifer Harriman, Flannon Jackson, Rita Koehler, Kristin Selesnick, and Leigh Yardley
Saturday, January 12, from 8 to 10 p.m. at AIB Main Gallery, 700 Beacon Street, Boston, near Kenmore Square.
Artists: Nina Ata, Mary Crenshaw,Ya La'ford, Julie Lindell, Jennifer E. Longworth, Mandy Mahaffey, Jenna Powell, Shawn Saumell, and Molly Yergens
All are invited to join in a celebratory toast to the entire graduating class at 8 p.m., at the start of the reception on Saturday, June 30 in Room 215 at 700 Beacon Street.
The AIB Main Gallery, 700 Beacon Street, Boston, is open Monday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For information, please call 617.585.6600.

Problem is, if this is the case, then anyone could get EMS by taking a MS and transplanting them into themself. Of course, it's not said that one must be an uchiha to get EMS.
You want evidence of a fused eye
Look at the two eyes the design
That monsters sharingan represent the a person who posses EMS
Madara's eyes posses the combination design of the eyes
because Madara's a **** head just like Kishi, another FLAW in the story, gotta love it either way.

Kish never explains a lot of things. Combining them makes the eye stronger.
Madara asks Sasuke does he want to "transplant" Itachi's eyes. Again, just because the pattern is combined doesn't mean the eyes are fused. This isn't dragonball z...no Fusion-ha going on over here....

Maricopa County Sheriff's detectives say an investigation revealed extensive child pornography sharing involving minors between the ages of 2 and 14 years old.
MCSO's computer crime detectives began investigating 40-year-old Stephen J. Austin back in November. They say he shared the files on peer-to-peer software over the internet.
On Monday, investigators served a search warrant at his home near Cactus and 75th Avenue where they discovered 122 child porn images and videos on Austin's laptop computer and an external hard drive.
Authorities say Austin admitted to utilizing the peer-to-peer software to download and view the pornography. He stated to detectives that he was the only one who had access to his laptop. Austin told detectives he committed no actual hands-on offenses involving children and only looks at them on the computer. He further stated that he looks at young girls, not young boys.
The police report states, "The images and videos found on the laptop and external hard drive from an initialpreview conducted by forensic technicians depicted girls between the ages of 2 -14 posing nude and involved in numerous sex acts with adults and other children."
Austin was booked into the 4th Avenue Jail on 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, which is are class 2 felonies. He is being held on a $25,000 bond.

This was very good and very easy. Even my 3 year old twins were fans. I was too lazy to break out the grill, so I just sauteed the chicken and zucchini in a frying pan with a little evo. Worked great!

Laurel Lance, I have a bone to pick with you.
Last night on Arrow, you really got yourself into a pickle. I know you can protect yourself with all the training your cop dad gave you and the gun you keep in your desk drawer. But even the best of us need a little help sometimes. And in that prison riot, you sure as hell needed all the help you could get.
Thank goodness your guardian angel Arrow was there to save the day! For those of you who didn't catch Arrow last night, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) was meeting with a client who was wrongfully sentenced to death and she was trying to prove his innocence. Too bad the men framing her client also set up a massive prison riot intended to kill him so he wouldn't testify. Laurel, honey, that is the definition of wrong-place-wrong-time.
She almost made it out of the prison, but couldn't quite make it to the exit before she was attacked by a prisoner. Arrow (Stephen Amell), hiding in the shadows in a prison guard's uniform and ski mask - totally subtle, I might add - pulled the prisoner off of Laurel and almost beat him to death. I say almost, because Laurel stopped him before any real damage could be done.
Outside the prison, talking with Det. Lance (her above-mentioned cop dad), she agreed that Arrow is a dangerous man. She was frightened that he almost killed the criminal attacking her.
""There's something inside of him that's not human,"" Laurel said, with tears in her eyes as Arrow listened in from the shadows.
Girl, hold up. Before you get all obnoxiously high and mighty with your judgments, let's take a step back and review the situation, shall we? You were trying to escape a prison riot. You were being attacked by a criminal. You were about to be killed by said criminal. Your self-proclaimed "guardian angel" shows up out of nowhere and saves your life. You take pity on the escaped convict who was trying to kill you, and judge the man who saved your life?
Now, something doesn't add up here. Yes, obviously killing people is bad. But in this situation Arrow was literally doing it to save your life, and now you are afraid of Arrow? I think you have to pick your arguments wisely. Would you rather be dead? Because if Arrow hadn't jumped in when he did, that is what you would be. Dead.
And now that you're hopping on the judgment train, Arrow/Oliver is going to start second-guessing his mission and his actions, and that only hurts Starling City. He is dangerous, yes, but not to you and not to the city. He is the necessary evil to wipe out the corrupt and downright evil plaguing the city. And now that his ex-bodyguard Diggle has agreed to work with him, Arrow's moral compass has never been more north. We - Arrow, Diggle, Starling City, and the audience - don't need you on that high horse bringing Arrow down. Time to grow up and face the fact that he is doing what needs to be done. He has already helped you with your work on more than occasion: getting you the evidence you need, saving your life, proving your clients' innocence or guilt.
You can't pick and choose everything Arrow does when he has already proven himself useful to you and to Starling City. Now is not the time to get hypocritical and judge him.
Laurel, you've got some growing up to do, and fast: you only have a week until we meet again!

GULF BREEZE, Fla. (AP) - Investigators say a neighbor and his friend used a bow and arrow to shoot and kill a Panhandle family's pet turkey for their Thanksgiving dinner.
Sheriff's deputies arrested two Santa Rosa County teens on Monday. Joshua W. Anderson, 19, and Jacob H. Provo, 18, who lives near the Caponis, are charged with armed burglary, armed trespassing, theft of livestock and animal cruelty.
The teens told deputies they planned to eat the 30-pound turkey for Thanksgiving.
Animal lovers Brian and Christa Caponi live on 6 acres in Gulf Breeze and have more than 50 dogs, cats, goats, chickens and other animals.
They told the Pensacola News Journal that Tom the turkey was special because he was so friendly. In fact, Christa Caponi said Tom was more like a family dog than a turkey.

Student learning outcomes build upon, but are different from, course objectives because they represent a new perspective.
Objectives represent valuable skills, tools, or content (nuts and bolts) that enable a student to be successful in a course.
SLOs represent overarching products of the course.
Objectives focus on the more specific content and skills important within the course or program. They are contained in the Course Outline of Record (COR).
Outcomes express higher level thinking skills that integrate the content and activities of courses, programs, degrees and certificates.
Objectives can often be numerous, specific, and detailed, and they may include the building blocks as well as higher level thinking expected in a course.
An assessable outcome can be displayed or observed and evaluated against criteria.
Sierra College has carefully distinguished between the use and location of student learning outcomes and learning objectives. This information is contained in the Institutional Assessment Plan: "Objectives are contained in the Course Outline of Record and stored in an electronic course management system, WebCMS. Individual instructors regularly assess learning objectives and continually make changes to improve student learning as a result of assessment. Student learning outcomes are defined at the program level and linked to courses, degrees, and certificates. Authentic assessments are developed by faculty and implemented in courses to provide information used for the improvement of student learning and the support of institution-wide practices."
|Student Services - CalWORKs
Student Learning Outcome: Increase awareness of on-campus support programs/services as well as community agencies readily available for further resources and assistance.
Institutional Outcome: Accept personal responsibility by recognizing oneself as the principal cause for opportunities and experiences. Effectively develop, apply and manage a healthy physical lifestyle and emotional well-being. Self-motivate through planning and acting to accomplish goals. Recognize the value of life-long learning.
Course Objective: Construct a full-length essay with appropriate attention to audience.
Student Learning Outcome: Write an appropriately structured academic work.
Institutional Outcome: Communicate thoughts, ideas, and information effectively in writing in a variety of modes and for a variety of purposes.
Course Objective: Evaluate the relationships among the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and duodenum.
Student Learning Outcome: Demonstrate knowledge of biological organization and integration.
Institutional Outcome: Identify and understand questions or problems across disciplines and in practical applications. Develop hypotheses.
|Fire Technology
Course Objective: Differentiate between water supply requirements, distribution systems, and testing for public and private fire protection.
Student Learning Outcome: Students will analyze and apply measures to resolve problems in areas of suppression, prevention, and EMS.
Institutional Outcome: Use sound reasoning to specify solutions and consequences. Test hypotheses using methods appropriate to the problem (such as the scientific method, mathematical reasoning, and principles of logic).

Former Toffee remains confident Everton can make the top-four.
Kevin Kilbane says Roberto Martinez's approach has changed Everton's perception in the media this season.
Since retiring from playing, the Republic of Ireland international has taken up a role with the BBC where he regularly commentates on games up and down the country as part of Five Live's Premier League coverage.
He has also been seen in the Match of the Day studio and last weekend was part of the Football Focus panel which broadcast live from Goodison Park.
Kilbane later watched on as the Blues responded from just their third defeat of the season at Anfield days earlier by beating Aston Villa to reclaim fifth position in the table.
Everton could potentially move a place higher this weekend, should they make it back-to-back wins against Tottenham at White Hart Lane and Liverpool lose at home to Arsenal.
And according to Kilbane, it's a position that many journalists and pundits believe Everton could realistically hold onto when fortunes are determined in the middle of May.
"Now people from within the media are turning up to the games expecting Everton to win," Kilbane told evertontv.
"I was at the game against Arsenal [before Christmas]. The majority of people thought Arsenal would win the game but there were still a lot of people who thought Everton would go there and play open football and attack Arsenal, and I think that was proven on the day.
"That is the belief within the media, that Everton have real credentials of a top-four finish this season.
"Everton are in a really good position now to pounce and if they can maintain the form they have shown up to now, they can challenge for those top four positions. It's certainly not beyond them.
"Roberto came in at the start of the season and said that it was a chance to get in amongst those top four positions. One or two in the media raised their eyebrows and thought probably not but now they are starting to jump on the bandwagon that there is a real chance Everton can do it this season."
Once Sunday's game against Spurs is out of the way, two thirds of the Premier League season will have been completed.
Everton's run-in – the final three home matches, in fact - includes visits from Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City.
While this may have been considered a tricky final month when the fixture schedule was announced last June, Kilbane believes it now works in Everton's favour to be playing against teams in and around them at the top at the business stage of the season.
"Everton have proved that they can compete and outplay teams at the top," added the 37-year-old. "The only thing from my point of view is that when you have got these teams in such a short space of time it's about getting the players right and, as Roberto will surely say, getting them prepared mentally.
"But I don't see any reason why, if they are in and around those top four positions, why they can't maintain it until the end of the season."

Using solar electricity more efficiently and effectively.
Living in Arizona, we have an abundent resource of sun. It shines down on us over 300 days a year, and for some reason companies still don't offer solar power at a price that is fair to their customers. I understand that solar panels are fairly expensive, but there has to be a way companies and the government could find the funds for sustainable electricity.
An idea that I have thought about is having apartments install solar panels on their property. Instead of having the electricity bill vary from month to month, the apartment complex will figure our the monthly price for each size of apartment (1 bed, 2 bed, etc.) and then just include that into their bill for their monthly rent (just like they do fro trash and sewer). I believe this is a great idea for complexes to take advantage of and could potentially provide a profit after a few years.

Michael MeinNov 19 2012: I like your idea. I think it can be enhanced with new technology. I had the pleasure of watching a TED talk about clear solar panels. You could put solar panels on the roof and install the windows and get even more energy from the sun. Furthermore, I think that you could easily have them install solar water heaters
Nov 19 2012: Michael and Jacob,
Speaking about apartments, water heaters, etc., reminds me of what I saw EVERYWHERE on the tops of most apartment buildings in Cairo.....
I also like your idea Jacob, of how to incorporate solar into the apartment situation:>) I used to own apartments, and one facility was designed with a solar vestibule, to use the energy of the sun. Lots of apartment dwellers thought it was "too bright" in their apartment when they were watching TV all day, so the shades in the solar vestibule (which were there to close on a cold winter night) were closed when the sun was shining!!!
