Did the « Pax Electrica » agreements reduce the Suez' power relationship on Elia, the Belgian electricity grid manager ?
AbstractThe company Elia, which manages the grid system of electricity in Belgium, is mainly controlled by the principal producer of electricity, Electrabel, and by political powers. The Belgian state has recently constrained the French group to yield 3% of its stake in Elia as foreseen in the Pax Electrica agreements. This article studies the impact of this transfer by means of the Banzhaf index that measures the intensity of control. The results show that theoretically these agreements change the power relationship on the manager of the grid.

The earliest age that you can start receiving social security benefits is age 62. Full retirement was age 65 for many years; however, the administration realized that people were living longer and that the social security program was in threat of running out of funds, so they developed a new schedule for full retirement benefits available at http://www.ssa.gov/. The new schedule is based on your birth year and can extend your full retirement age to 67 if you were born after year 1960.
The Social Security Administration has attempted to make the determination process simple for participants by providing an annual "Social Security Statement." This statement outlines your benefit at age 62 (early retirement) and at full retirement (age 65-67). Let's take a fictional statement which projects that you would receive $1,443 per month at age 62, or you could work until full retirement (age 67) and receive $2,071 per month.
If you elected early retirement, you would receive $1,443 per month ($17,316 annually). You would receive this for five years before you reached age 67, for a total of $86,580 ($17,316 x 5 years). If you waited until age 67 to start collecting, you would receive $2,071 per month ($24,852 annually). If you assume that the social security benefit is spent in full each year (no savings, no interest), then the breakeven point for most participants will be around age 78.

Denard Span did many things during his time in Minnesota. He played all three outfield positions. He collected a lot of total bases. He developed a large following on Twitter and won a Diamond Award for community service.
Apparently one thing he did not do was enjoy fishing on any of these 10,000ish lakes we've got around here. Now that he's with Washington the guess here is you won't find Span on the Potomac River with a rod and reel anytime soon either.
During a workout in Viera, Fla., on Thursday, Span and others Nationals players were soon joined by a bird overhead. In its grasp was lunch - a fish of some sort - that dropped into the field near the players.
As you can see here, Span didn't exactly take the matter calmly. He told the Washington Post he started "screaming and making noises" to discourage the bird from coming back for its snack.
Watch for yourself, but Span said on a scale of 1-10 he's at about "a half" when it comes to his comfort level with nature ("the only thing I'm not scared of is an ant.") He also said he's been fishing maybe twice in his life.

Emerging Advances In Treating Great Toe Arthritis
- Volume 24 - Issue 1 - January 2011
- 43809 reads
- 0 comments
In Conclusion
Make sure to consider the patient, the level of arthritis, activity type and shoe styles as a whole prior to selecting the type of procedure. Pick procedures that you are comfortable doing but make sure you have a wide array to offer. Think long term and offer patients who may prefer short-term motion that option as long as they realize they may require further surgery in the future. New materials offer a wider array of options and resurfacing potentials.
I believe that with proper selection, patient satisfaction with their treatment options related to hallux limitus/rigidus is very high and outcomes are reliable and reproducible by the physician.

Monday, July 08, 2013
June 23, 2013. The day I was "suppose" to race Ironman Idaho. It is funny how we create these ideal race schedules as an athlete. We map out the training, lay out races that fit within our training, and we get absorbed in all little things that help us build up to the goal races. Idaho was to be one of those goal races for me. My coach and I had put together our schedule around Christmas to prepare for the 2013 season.
The whole week leading up to June 23, I was on edge. I was sad, emotional, and a good bit lonely. While my heart knew that I had made the right decision in retiring from triathlon at Florida 70.3- My mind was stuck. It is hard to let go of the last 16 years. I got down right depressed the week leading up to the Ironman because frankly racing was "easy and comfortable". It is what I know and I was able to have some "control" of what was ahead. I spent a lot of time feeling sad, wanting to just curl up in bed and sleep it off.
Of course because I am stubborn, I didn't share my feelings with anyone really. I didn't want to deal with what was stirring up in my heart. Thankfully my beautiful sister knew exactly what was going on. On Sunday the most awesome surprise arrived at my door step. A bouquet of flowers from my nieces. A simple card that said "We love you Yaya!". I stood there in tears grateful to finally just let it all out.
I have been trying to be strong in this life change, to act like it is no big deal, that I have it all together. GUESS WHAT?! I don't. I am imperfect and broken. I continually try to depend on my own strength.
This isn't how we are to live.
God wants us to draw our strength from Him, not depend on our own strength. God alone is to be glorified. Our walk as Christians will not be free of suffering- it isn't all unicorns and rainbows. There will be fiery trials. In these trials we are to REJOICE and BE GLAD- to find our STRENGTH in God. I look back at this emotional wrecking ball of a week, I am guilty of dwelling on my hurt and not REJOICING in all the good that has been sprouting from listening to the Lord's call for my family.
June 23 is over- the sadness has erupted into a beautiful garden of growth and healing. Read 1 Peter 5:6-10 for a bit of encouragement. God cares for us- His mighty hand is upon us. We are to cast our worries on him. Oh I am grateful for this.
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called your to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, strengthen, and establish you."
We are not alone in our suffering. Let's stand firm in our faith together, knowing that He will restore, confirm, strengthen and establish us.

hey there. it's been a while since i've randomly given stuff away, and that doesn't jive well with my philosophy that love and / or readership should be shamelessly bought. so in honor of the holiday season - and to make up for lost time / clear my shelf of some extra stuff i've got lying around - i thought i'd throw the biggest Criterion Corner giveaway yet.
The Prize:
- DVD of Sidney Lumet's 12 ANGRY MEN!
- Blu-ray of Claude Chabrol's LES COUSINS!
- 1 DVD box set of Krzysztof Kieslowski's THREE COLORS! (opened but never watched and in mint condition… long story)
- 1 MYSTERY DVD!!!! (maybe a Criterion film, maybe just something I want to share with a stranger. definitely previously loved).
TO ENTER: just "like" and / or Re-blog this post. each note will count as a separate entry, so every fellow blogger can therefore submit a maximum total of 2 entries.
giveaway will be closed at 12 P.M. EST on Friday, 12/3/2011. 1 winner will be randomly selected from the notes. so the odds should be okay if not super awesome, but someone's gonna get some great stuff for nothing.
good luck, and thanks so, so much for reading the blog and my Criterion Corner column on movies.com!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Amy!!
Facts about Amy!
- Breed: Fox Terrier (Smooth) Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Amy!'s Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
This is Amy! She is a cute little (15 pound) Fox Terrier mix that a good samaritan picked up off the street. With the help of our awesome new foster Mom we were able to take her into our program. She is about 4 to 6 months old and probably won't grow larger than 20 or 25 pounds.
Amy is adorable and also very smart! She is inquisitive and learns quickly. She gets along wonderfully with the older female dog in her foster home. We didn't add that she is good with kids on this page simply because we haven't seen her around kids yet, but she is a friendly, docile little lady and we don't anticipate any issues, but we're gonna check anyway to be sure!
Amy has all of her shots and will be spayed and micro-chipped prior to adoption. She is a great little girl who will make someone very happy! Contact us today for an adoption application!
Other Pets at The Animal Shelter Project
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Amy!, a New Orleans Fox Terrier (Smooth) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Fox Terrier (Smooth) for sale in New Orleans, or seeking a Fox Terrier (Smooth) puppy from a breeder in New Orleans.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in New Orleans already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a New Orleans breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Fox Terrier (Smooth) breeders who help with Fox Terrier (Smooth) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in New Orleans paves the way for another one to be saved.

THURSDAY, June 9 (HealthDay News) -- Admissions for treatment of
benzodiazepine abuse nearly tripled in the United States between
1998 and 2008, while overall admissions for substance abuse rose
only 11 percent, according to a government study released
Benzodiazepines -- a class of drugs prescribed to treat anxiety,
insomnia and seizure disorders -- include Valium, Halcion, Xanax,
Ativan and Librium. Abuse of benzodiazepines, which were introduced
in the 1950s to replace barbiturates, can lead to addiction, injury
and death.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) study found that admissions for treatment of
benzodiazepine abuse among patients 12 and older rose from 22,400
in 1998 to 60,200 a decade later. Benzodiazepine-related admissions
accounted for 3.2 percent of all substance abuse admissions in
2008, compared with 1.3 percent in 1998.
Most admissions involved white patients (84.8 percent), males
(56 percent), and those ages 18 to 34 (55.3 percent). Ninety-five
percent of patients who abused benzodiazepines also abused other
substances, and in more than three-quarters of those cases,
benzodiazepine was the secondary drug of abuse.
Opiates were the primary substance of abuse in more than half of
all the cases where benzodiazepine was the secondary drug of abuse.
But there were age-related differences. Among teens, marijuana was
the most common primary substance of abuse. Among patients 45 and
older, alcohol nearly equaled opiates (42.1 percent vs. 47.1
percent) as the primary substance of abuse.
"The misuse of benzodiazepines along with other prescription drugs is fueling the rise of treatment admissions," SAMHSA Administrator Pamela S. Hyde said in an agency news release.
"Prescription drug misuse is dangerous and can even be deadly. Everyone has a role to play in helping to prevent prescription drug misuse. Simple steps such as locking up medications and proper disposal of unused medications are easy ways people can contribute to reducing the problem," she said.

I know what you mean this man has a bit of a contorted view of what the real truth of things actually are but he is of the rite mindset (to be angry). I think you hit the nail on the head with the, first trigger pulled, phycological approach the "government" is so far beyond us technologically that we really wouldn't stand a chance. I believe the real gov't has almost complete control over most peoples tendencies as well as their feelings and in some very deeply rooted individuals their thoughts thus leading to their actions ( ex: Timothy McVay). You really can not put anything past this real gov't they are so far beyond our primitive technology, were a joke in that aspect but some believe we are a nightmare spiritually speaking in terms of their real plans, so pray and meditate is the only shot we can go on at this time. Believe:)

i've been telling people lately that shit like this is building and eventually enough like-minded people of this opinion are going to get together and the shit is really going to hit the fan!!! especially if lies keep coming out of the mouths of those we voted for(put our faith into). and w/ stuff happening like whats going on out in Montana its inevitable for something to eventually pop off between the govt. and its citizens (who are sick of its shit). maybe thats the REAL plan tho! maybe they WANT us to be the first to go ahead and figuratively and literally "pull the trigger" cause they know that then, in the worlds eyes, they wont look as bad for locking the ones up who oppose them! '....fill a Montana jail up INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do Wages Subsidies Increase Employment in Subsidised Firms?
AbstractThe present paper examines whether subsidised jobs have contributed to the employment in subsidised firms or merely substituted for non-subsidised ones. The data set is an unbalanced panel of some 31,000 firms that are followed annually between 1995 and 2002. The analysis is based on difference-in-differences, which is adjusted by regression and matching methods. The results indicate that wage subsidies stimulate employment, and the magnitude of the effect is as aimed. It is also found that subsidies have no sizable effects on non-subsidised firms of the industry or geographical area in question.

CityLaw Breakfasts
Breakfasts are held six times a year and feature prominent speakers who discuss current government and political issues. These events are free, open to the public, and broadcast by Crosswalks cable television throughout the five boroughs.
Says the Huffington Post:
"Ross Sandler, a NY Law School professor, is the breakfast host. His breakfast event is the closest thing to a successor to the long-lamented City Club of New York, which played a significant role in the City of New York for more than 100 years, including in the fiscal crisis and then the mayoralty of the late Ed Koch. A moment of respectful silence for the loss of a great mayor… and another for the demise of the City Club."
Breakfast sponsors include Consolidated Edison, Verizon, and Greenberg Traurig.

Distant Planet
From the Super Mario Wiki
Distant Planet is the name of Captain Olimar's home stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The stage is set on the planet that Captain Olimar landed on in Pikmin. It takes place on a group of leaves, vines, and a hillside, in reference to the natural terrain of Pikmin. Pellet Posies regularly grow out of the ground, and when attacked they drop their pellets, which can be tossed at opponents for light damage. However, their main purpose is to be thrown at an Onion when one flies down on the stage to get items. Onions can also be attacked, after three hits it will fly back up. Onions also fly back up after a minute. Occasionally it will start to rain, which makes the steep hillside treacherous, since water will rapidly flow down and sweep players off the stage. The other main hazard is a Red Bulborb that sometimes appears on the right side of the stage, and eat any player that jumps near it, then dragging them offstage for a KO. Even when its mouth is closed, landing on it could result in a KO if it decides to go back off the stage with a player on its back.
In the background of the stage, a Red Bulborb, a Cloaking Burrow-nit, a large toppled over soda can, and a flower resembling a Creeping Chrysanthemum or Margaret in one of the pots is seen.

Competition for places can fuel league form, says Osman.
Leon Osman
Related Links
Competition for Wembley places can drive Everton to victory over West Brom, according to midfielder Leon Osman.
The Blues have a massive FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool on the horizon courtesy of Tuesday's superb 2-0 quarter-final replay win at Sunderland.
After the game David Moyes admitted he couldn't think of a player who hadn't excelled themselves at the Stadium of Light.
And with the likes of England internationals Phil Jagielka and Jack Rodwell, Victor Anichebe, Seamus Coleman, Royston Drenthe, Tony Hibbert, Denis Stracqualursi and the cup-tied Steven Pienaar all absent from the starting line-up in the North East, Moyes has an abundance of options at his disposal.
Osman was in the starting line-up against the Black Cats and he says desire to be on that all-important Wembley teamsheet can inspire the Blues to new heights in the interim – starting against the Baggies.
"It's all about training hard and trying to perform in these next three league games to get your form up and give yourself a chance of being picked by the manager for the [semi-final]," the midfielder told evertontv. "We've got people now who see a big game around the corner, people coming back from injuries, people already in the team who want to stay in the team and fight for their place.
"This game on Saturday is the start of that battle for contention. There are three games between now and the semi-final and we'll take each one as it comes. The first one is West Brom, there are three points at stake and we'll certainly be going there to take all three."
Despite no wins in their last three games, the Baggies were previously in good form, recording comprehensive 5-1 and 4-0 victories over Wolves and Sunderland before registering a surprise 1-0 win over Chelsea at the start of March.
"They've been very good on the road this year and they've had some really good victories, so they're coming here confident I'm sure," added Osman. "They'll be trying to catch us on the back of our midweek victory, so that's certainly something we'll have to guard against. We'll be going into the game full of confidence and hopefully we'll win."
The Blues have already met Saturday's opponents twice this season, with Everton coming out on top on both occasions.
David Moyes' men eeked out a 1-0 win at the Hawthorns on New Year's Day, having earlier sent Roy Hodgson's men crashing out of the Carling Cup with a 2-1 third round victory at Goodison Park.
Despite their recent joy over the Baggies, Osman doesn't expect prior results to have a bearing this time around.
"I don't think previous games help," said Osman. "We know we're capable of beating them, but we can't say that we've beaten them twice and this is just going to be a walk in the park.
"It's not how football works. You've got to turn up for each game individually, and we'll be going to the game looking to turn up on Saturday.
"We want to be positive and keep our little run of victories going and we'll be going into that game trying to win it."

Back Talk with Ramon MartinsJuxtapoz // Thursday, 05 Mar 2009
Ramon Martins is an intensely introspective and meaningful creator who remembers to keep things light and fun (just take a look at his self portrait below) when necessary.
This Brazilian-born artist finds ease in combining diverse elements such as baroque style with street art, whether he's using spray, acrylic painting, watercolor, or even 'sprinkle' techniques.
Learn more on this innovative man and read Ramon Martins' answers to Back Talk below.
What's the first thing you did when you woke up this morning?
I woke up and had the last glass of Babosa juice. For those who don't know, Babosa is known as aloe vera too. I remember when I was a kid, my mother used that plant to moisturize her hair.
Something about yourself the average person wouldn't guess?
That I'm left handed and I can write down to top, backwards, and with both hands at the same time, hahaha! And I've been a vegetarian since I was fourteen years old.
If you had one day left on Earth, what's left to be discovered?
I don't know, I'm just unpredictable. Maybe I would call some friends to hang out together and laugh life out, and maybe meet again sometime.
What is your first art-making memory as a kid?
In Santa Luzia, Minas Gerais, where I spent part of my childhood. I lived in a street without asphalt. So one day, after hours of rain, I built a city of mud from one side to the other of the street. That construction, to me, has a lot of meaning. The work was not destroyed very fast, and I remember people asking me what was that thing and cars trying to pass without destroying it.
Do you need long periods of time alone, or are you energized by interaction?
Both things. Sometimes I just can't work when I'm alone, but sometimes when I'm with a lot of peeps, I just leave them and go to work. Sometimes I like to walk without any destination too.
Is being in the dark with the lights out frightening or comforting?
Very comfortable. I like the dark and the silence, of course without a clock. Actually I'm working with half-lights, closing all doors and windows. Maybe you think it's contradictory, but I like painting in the dark. For me it's better to visualize what technique of colors that I will use.
What's the most non-art involved activity you continually find yourself enjoying?
Riding a bike, dating, reading, watching cartoons…and doing nothing is good too.
Have you been to jail? If so, why? If not, why not?
I was arrested only by my mom. The police are easier to dribble.
What kind of car do you drive?
My skateboard and a bike.
What's your biggest non-green inspired indulgence?
Velho, acho q seria assim a questão: qual é o seu maior prazer "ecologicamente incorreto?" por exemplo, fumar, jogar papel na rua, etc.
What is the single most important thing you did to breakthrough as a career artist?
I don't think we choose to be an artist, but in 2005 I was working as an art teacher and going trough a confusing and insecure moment of what I was going to do with my life. I didn't fit in any job and I had no money, no inspiration, and was depressed with few time to dedicate to my personal projects. So one day, I just quit my job, and in that moment I already knew that I was choosing my path.
Best hustle you ever pulled?
Taking care of my mom and two younger brothers when I was only 7 years old. Because of that time, today I know what made me grow as a man, and now I'm in love with life. I'm just very grateful for all I have now.
Are you ever bored?
Who isn't? Sometimes I just wanna see nothing and stop my mind for a moment.
What excites you?
All that is strange to me, the unknown, the new...
2023 will look like . . . ?
The results of our choices of this moment. It's time to go a little slower, don't you think? Just simple.
If you could have a drink with one artist, living or dead, who would it be?
I admire a lot of artists, but I would love to meet Gustav Klimt, drink some Babosa juice with him and watch him work.
Last passport stamp:
Brighton, England. I went there to do a show.
Can't stand:
I can't support all cruelty, but violence with animals depresses me a lot.
Can't live without:
I can't live without scratching.
Without being in love.
Words to live by:
"This too shall pass."

These boots are really nice. They are very quick and easy to get in and out of. laces on the liner is the way to go, instead of inside the boot like some others.
These boots tend to run a big. The toe box is roomy which is great, but the heal area is also a little large. I ordered my normal size which is 11.5 and they were too big. I probably need a full size down from my usual.

i have burton freesyle bindings and i was wondering will these fit in my bindings and do these fit true to size
David Zemens
Member since
You *might* want to order 1/2 size up. I usually wear a 10.5/11 depending on brand, and I'm wearing 11s in my ThirtyTwo TM2 boots; they fit just right after having them heat molded. My last pair of 32s was the same way. Check out the reviews on the TM2 boot for some info about how they fit & breaking them in.
I'm riding Burton Cartels, i think similar enough binding technology. The newer 32s fit really well in the burton bindings. These boots have very similar (probably identical) toe shape. Here's a picture of mine locked into the bindings. they fit great.

The new gaming console from Sony will be the first since the launch of the PS3 in 2006.
NEW YORK — Sony is poised to unveil the next PlayStation game console on Feb. 20, a date that would give the Japanese electronics company a head start over Microsoft's expected announcement of an Xbox 360 successor in June.
Sony Corp. invited journalists to an evening press event in New York City. The company has not said what it plans to show off, but signs indicate that it'll be the PlayStation 4. Sony would only say that it "will deliver and speak about the future PlayStation business."
Such a console would follow Nintendo's Wii U, which launched last fall, and precede Microsoft Corp.'s next Xbox game console, which will likely be unveiled in June at the E3 video game conference in Los Angeles.
Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said it's a "super smart" move for Sony to pre-empt Microsoft. This way, the PlayStation 4 will get the spotlight without much competition.
Related: Xbox Entertainment Guide
The currently available PlayStation 3 went on sale in 2006, a year after the Xbox 360. But Xbox 360 has been more popular, largely because of its robust online service, Xbox LIVE, which allows people to play games with others online. The Wii is still the top seller among the three consoles, though it has lost momentum in recent years.
The Wii U was the first of the newest generation of video game consoles to launch, but sales so far have been disappointing. Nintendo Co.'s president, Satoru Iwata, acknowledged recently that the Wii U and the handheld Nintendo 3Ds didn't do well over the holidays, but he ruled out a price cut for the new console.
Related: Nintendo seeks to shake up gaming again with Wii U
All three console makers are trying to position their devices as entertainment hubs that go beyond games as they try to stay relevant in the age of smartphones and tablet computers.
Such hubs can deliver TV shows, movies and music. The Wii U has a TV-watching feature called TVii. With it, the console's touch-screen GamePad controller becomes a remote control for your TV and set-top box.
TVii groups your favorite shows and sports events together, whether it's on live TV or an Internet video service such as Hulu Plus. And it offers water-cooler moments you can chat about on social media.

Life Sciences Companies Undergoing Major Technology Shift
State of SharePoint in Life Sciences Survey Reveals Industry Technology Trends
Report Issued at DIA Annual Meeting in Boston
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., June 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The life sciences industry is undergoing a major IT platform shift that is transforming the way companies manage their businesses – and that shift is accelerating, according to a survey report released by NextDocs today at the Drug Information Association (DIA) 2013 Annual Meeting in Boston. The report, The State of SharePoint in Life Sciences, is based on in-depth surveys with more than 100 leading life sciences and pharmaceutical companies, conducted with the aim of better understanding their use of technology to manage regulatory compliance.
"The life sciences industry is experiencing a once-in-a-generation technology platform shift; a shift that is transforming how these companies manage clinical trials, regulatory submissions and manufacturing processes," said Zikria Syed, Chief Operating Officer of NextDocs.
The report reveals that, over the past few years, life sciences companies have dramatically accelerated their shift away from legacy content management systems – and to Microsoft SharePoint for managing regulated content in validated systems. Notably, nearly 37 percent of life sciences companies reported scaling back or replacing their legacy systems, such as EMC Documentum. These companies are shifting towards open-standard platforms; nearly 65 percent say they have already shifted or plan to shift to a Microsoft SharePoint platform.
The survey also reveals a dramatic expansion in use of Microsoft SharePoint to manage strategic aspects of their business, such as the management of regulated content in validated systems, as is required during clinical trials. Four out of ten life sciences companies (43 percent) currently rely on Microsoft SharePoint, along with complimentary solutions, for regulated content management, and another 21 percent are actively planning such a transition.
Companies are using Microsoft SharePoint as a platform, often combined with complimentary solutions, for quality management (e.g., CAPA, deviations and change control) (42 percent); managing clinical trial documents (eTMF) (37 percent); and managing documents for FDA submissions (32 percent).
This acceleration is aided by another technology trend: cloud computing. Although more than half of life sciences companies, 55 percent, have deployed Microsoft SharePoint on premises, 28 percent have deployed, or are actively planning to deploy, in the Cloud.
"The evidence is clear. Life sciences companies are seeking modern technology solutions that provide greater flexibility and capability for their business. Solutions that can take advantage of our increasingly global, mobile and connected world. Solutions that can connect health professionals and empower them to increase productivity, save time and money, and improve care," said Andrea McGonigle, Managing Director, Life Sciences, at Microsoft.
Copies of the report, The State of SharePoint in Life Sciences, are available at the NextDocs booth (#1722) at DIA 2013 and can be downloaded at www.nextdocs.com.

Moonta Mining Heritage
- Category:Tours & Experiences
- Location:Moonta, SA
When next in South Australia take time to visit the National Trust SA Tourist Information Office at Moonta to enquire about the famous Cornish Copper Mining Heritage of this unique area. It would be an interesting and informative few days.
An Award Winning Tourist Train travels around old mine workings through tunnels, and past mine shafts, old pump houses and huge tailing heaps and includes a commentary which gives an overview of the history of the whole area. On returning a quick trip to the popular Lolly shop supplies cool drinks! Those with a thirst for knowledge can visit the nearby Museum where several hours can disappear quickly enjoying the historic displays. The Miner's Cottage with rooms filled with items from grandmother's time and the relaxing olde worlde garden are also worthwhile.
Everyone finds something of interest in the wonders of the Underground Mine Tour at Wheal Hughes, a recent tourist award medallist. The fun of donning hard hats and lamps and wearing boots just like a real miner appeals to all ages, and then exploring the large colourful cathedral-like caverns with an experienced guide is "awesome" - to quote a frequently used comment in the visitors book. Bookings are essential.
The Tourist Office has an array of quality souvenirs, and pamphlets are available for those wishing to do the Walking Trails. Books on the history of Moonta with stories of some of its characters are also available.
If you wish to trace your family history the Local History & Resource Centre in the Old School of Mines may be able to help you.
So you can see Moonta is definitely worth a visit! Don't miss it!

Susan Meyer's profile on Ceramics Now Magazine - View her works
"I make sculptures that are inspired by utopian, experimental communities. The pieces suggest architectural models for utopian experiments. My curiosity stems from the ways in which these communities reflect optimism and, the ways in which they simultaneously reflect failure. Modernist ties to the utopic and Modernist architecture also come into play; recent sculptures in layered acrylic are examples of this interest.
Currently, I am also working on hexagonal structures made of concrete covered cardboard. These pieces are influenced by Brutalist architecture, Corbusier's machines for living and, most strongly, by Robert Smithson's slide lecture (1972) on Hotel Palenque to the architectural faculty at the University of Utah.
I've been visiting the sites of a number of utopian communities (Drop City (CO), Libre (CO), New Buffalo (NM), the Oneida Community (NY), Fruitlands (MA)…) and I've videotaped what remains there. Compiling this video footage and adding off-hand, stop-action animated figurative elements is a related current project. I envision clusters of these various works – the sparkling city, the concrete ruins and the small screen video – creating an environment both visually rich and suggestive of societal energy and entropy."

The staff of UN Women enthusiastically welcomes the appointment of Michelle Bachelet as the first Executive Director and Under-Secretary-General of UN Women.
With her high political stature and experience, the former President of Chile will be able to advance the gender equality agenda and guide the organization's work, so that UN Women becomes the leading voice and champion for gender equality and the empowerment of women. Colleagues from the four entities that compose UN Women ? DAW, INSTRAW, OSAGI and UNIFEM ? are very inspired by the example of leadership that Michelle Bachelet set in her role as the first female President in Chile, and by her impressive record on behalf of women.
All staff members are looking forward to working with her and pledge their full support.
