JEFFERSONVILLE, IN (WAVE)- Saturday evening, neighbors were still trying to process what happened Friday night near the intersection of 10th and Howard Streets in Jeffersonville. Police said a man, believed to be in his 30s or 40s, was crossing the road when he was hit. Neighbors said they rushed to help the dying man.
"He got hit so hard that it knocked his pants all the way down." Beverly Watson, who lives at the intersection where the accident happened, said.
Her brother was sitting on the front porch and saw it happen. Watson said she rushed outside and saw the man in the roadway. Watson asked for a blanket to cover the man. Along with others, Watson tried to help. A former nursing assistant...instinct kicked in.
"I was trying to get a pulse in his neck. There was no pulse. But, he let out two loud gasps," Said Watson.
The man was taken to University Hospital, in Louisville, where he died. According to police, the driver of the car that hit the man said he didn't see the man until he was directly in front of his car. He tried to stop...but it was too late. The driver stopped and immediately called 911. Police said another driver told police he too saw the man...and almost hit him...but stopped in time. Police said the man was wearing dark clothing.
"The way I was told by the man who had almost just hit him, he was watching and he said the man was walking in the street...not crossing," Watson said.
"I have seen during the daytime, people walking on this road. Because they don't want to walk on this grassy muddy area. And at night time, this is not a well lit area."
Watson said she hoped the tragic situation would foster change.
"I hope that it brings more lighting and sidewalks and stuff down in this area in here. I really do...I really do. We need it. We need it bad"
The victims name has not been released. Police said there does not appear to be any intoxication on the driver's part. At this point, no charges are anticipated against the driver.

8pC/g nom. • 10g wt • 250°C Max. Temp. • Isolated Output
Download Datasheet - A23 Datasheet
The basic A/23 sensing element is electrically isolated from the transducer case, signal outlet being via an insulated side entry Microdot socket.
Signal isolation minimises ground loop interference in electrically noisy environments. Incorporating this feature within the transducer maximises mechanical integrity and bandwidth relative to external isolation methods.
The socket is insulated by means of an annular glass sleeve.
Overtightening the mating connector will damage the sleeve. Failure torque is around 1.5Nm., recommended connector tightening torque is 30cNm.max.
Ground loop rejection is a function of insulation resistance of the ceramic sleeve which, together with the resistance of the transducer cable screen, forms a ground loop signal attenuator. Typically, a 1mV differential applied via a 100 metre length screened cable will introduce the equivalent of 1g to an A/23 based system, reducing in the case of the A/23/SI by the ratio of the cable screen resistance (60 ohms) to the sleeve resistance (initial value > 108 ohms).

Last night while the country seemingly went insane with looting and rioting in London, Nottingham, Liverpool, further afield and closer to home in Birmingham, the WV11 Facebook page and Twitter feed came alive with rumours that there was rioting and looting at Bentley Bridge, Wednesfield and further afield in Wolverhampton.
We were very pleased to report this was NOT true.
There was no trouble at Bentley Bridge and while there have been some reports of "minor damage" in the city centre this morning – there is nothing obvious that I could see on my way to work. I am shattered we spent a large part of last night relaying police updates to our Facebook and Twitter followers  and talking online to Wednesfield residents who could see that there was no trouble going on on their doorsteps.
At times it seemed like an uphill battle when twitter searches determined there were so many people convinced the main retail park in our area was burning to the ground – even though if they'd looked out of their windows a distinct lack of smoke in the sky could have waylaid that particular rumour, but we stuck at it and eventually we stemmed the tide and finally after much effort we got the point across. The people spreading misinformation started repeating our message that there was nothing going on, directing people to the official police streams – and in some cases saying they "Feel awful and a right scare monger" when they realised they were wrong. Some residents were also going out to prove all was well and posting photos to our wall.
So imagine my utter frustration when the "main stream media" of our area The Wolf radio station, who were distinctly absent last night when we trying to allay peoples fears, posted this on there facebook page this morning trying to make something out of nothing:
James and I tried our best to stem this too and then followed it up with this news piece – and it prompted  the subsequent response on facebook:
I feel they didn't quite go as far as lying but most definitely reported in such a way that anyone who wasn't aware of the truth of the situation would have probably questioned what was going on and then they chose to ignore our calls for openess and tried and get a resident to talk to them on the phone because they said they were scared!
Personally I think it was incredibly irresponsible of their radio station to report in this way.There were no problems of note in Wolverhampton last night and definitely NONE at Bentley, and I can testify to this having passed by the retail park and walked through the city this morning. Keeping people afraid and giving them a platform, inviting them to fuel the rumour mill will  create an atmosphere of fear that could become a breeding ground for a situation to arise  similar to those we saw in Birmingham last night –  The media should have a responsibility to report facts not conjecture and local media more so as they are much more accessible to the local people than the national news outlets .
Yes there were reports of looting and rioting in Wednesfield, particularly on Bentley Bridge last night BUT they were false and The Wolf should have taken responsibility in this instance and reported as such!
What is community engagement?
For me it's about communication with the people who both live and work where I live. It's about conversation, Saying hello asking questions and listening – and that comes from the community and any partners working in the community, local government, police, LNP's etc.  But, how do you encourage engagement? The people that want to will find ways to become part of what is happening locally, they will attend the PACT (Police and Community Together) meetings, they will become members of the residents association – they will give themselves a voice. But what about the people who live in the community but quite often don't have the confidence to communicate with each other – let alone people in so called positions of authority – How do you encourage them to engage?
You encourage them to talk to each other – that's how!
We set up the WV11 website 2 years ago this week and we've watched it grow from a site that we stuck articles on in hope someone would read, to a community who actively seek information from each other.  If the lights go out in our area within a short while we receive a post on our facebook wall "Is anyone else's power out?" – When one of the water mains burst it was quickly established through conversation how far spread the outage was and how long it was likely to last as individuals shared information with each other, no longer just looking to us for the answers.
But how do you move that conversation away from talking to each other – to talking to the partners that can make a difference in their area?
Recently there has been a spate of anti social activities taking place in the local park – from graffiti and vandalism to bullying and loutish behaviour.  One of the targets for the local vandals are a set of newly installed exercise equipment which had been there barely a month before it had been set on fire and destroyed and the locals are getting fed up! They came onto our facebook page to express their displeasure at the situation so we asked them straight out – Do you think patrols of the park to combat anti social behaviour should be made a PACT priority at the next meeting? – They answered a resounding YES! As  a result of us asking this simple question which basically amounted to "What do you want to happen in your area?" that is asked all the time by various bodies, but in a much more focussed way, many residents who have never before attended a PACT meeting have expressed an interest in attending the next scheduled meeting on 16th August to set this in motion, and one resident who is unable to attend herself has found her voice and penned a letter she forwarded to us at Wv11 to pass over on her behalf.
Some of these people are the same ones who 18 months ago when we first started listing the PACT meetings on our website were telling us "there is no point going as we never get listened to anyway" – maybe it's because finally they've found a cause which they really want to see a fix for that has made them engage – maybe it's after 24 months of  listening to each other online that they feel empowered to take action, or maybe it's just because we asked a direct question and with over 60 responses they feel they have a united voice to get something done – who knows – all I know is I'm looking forward to the next PACT meeting and seeing what it brings.
Hopefully we can get the patrols a priority and prove that an engaged community does have a voice and that they can make things happen!

I am a bit nervous about using the ptr, tbh. Not sure what i am expecting but my friends that i am used to gaming with won't be there to share in the experience which i don't like the thought of. And to my mind it will take the enjoyment out of the game if you go and visit it before everyone else, a bit like opening you xmas presents in the dead of night and then rewrapping them for when your family wake up.
I always had the same basic issue with the PTR, until the last patch. I knew that there were going to be issues with dual specs (which being an officer in my guild, I knew I would get questions from other guildies), so I hopped on there to pretty much check out the functionality.
I think this helped out a bunch, because a lot of people in my guild didn't know where to go, or how the mechanics of it worked even after they bought it.
Another thing was that I wanted to check out the tourney, which, because my computer was extremely laggy w/ the PTR, turned out to be little more than finding the location of the tourney, so that I could get started right away when the patch went live.
My point is, that even if you are not a hardcore raider, you may find some use in stopping by the PTR, even if it is only to check out the new druid forms :-)

Next Taught October 4 -11, 2014
Unskillful teaching often causes students to actively tune-out the teacher. Have you ever caught yourself actively filtering out what the teacher is saying because you have heard it so many times or because it was wordy and/or irrelevant?
Living teaching
This training will immerse you in teaching skills that connect. Your students will be connected to your every word; you will be engaged in a living conversation with them. You will discover how to teach in a highly-alert yet deeply-relaxed state. This leads to a vital class experience for both you and your students.
You will learn through our acclaimed practice-teaching methods and dynamic discussion:
- Seven concrete teaching skills, practiced, repeated and mastered in a safe and honest environment. These help you clear away all that is unnecessary so that the necessary can speak.
- A clear understanding of HOW yoga works, and a real understanding of your own spiritual path. Few teachers understand this. Once you do, you will know exactly what to teach and what not to teach. As you begin to trust your own path, you will teach with total confidence.
- How to get into the space between stimulus and response at will. This is the space where yoga is fully experienced. This is where you are free of the distortions of the mind.
Below is an overview of both the Vinyasa and Spirituality curricula and housing options:
The Spiritual Science of Vinyasa Flow-
Improve your teaching through our proven practice-teaching methodology
When teachers learn how Vinyasa leads to transformation, they immediately have more confidence, which in turn makes their classes both exhilarating and meditative. During this Immersion, Philip will break down exactly how Vinyasa Flow can affect meaningful changes in your students lives, and will share immediately applicable practices for teaching.
You will learn to teach Synchronized Vinyasa. Many vinyasa teachers give up on this because it is a little challenging. We make it easy to learn. We meet you at your experience level, whether beginner or 20-year veteran. Skillfully synchronizing vinyasa will distinguish your class and make the experience of yoga more effective. If you already teach this way, we will tune you up. We will also look "under the hood" of Vinyasa. You will learn:
- The fundamental components of meditation and pranayama in Vinyasa and how they are often lost.
- What ujjayi breath interrupts, and how you teach this.
- What specific instruction facilitates the "doer" of the pose to disappear.
- To distinguish what you are teaching:
- Work or flow?
- High intelligence or low intelligence?
- Synchronicity or effort?
- Endurance or allowance?
- Dynamic discussions will explore:
- What is the most effective practice to offer students regarding strong sensation?
- What does it mean to be defenseless?
- Are you teaching the opposite?
- From what state does high intelligence arise? What do we do as teachers to block it?
- What does an advanced vinyasa yoga practice look like?
- How to LAND these teachings in class.
Teaching Spirituality with Confidence-
Experiential, vigorous coaching from Philip
- Zeroing in on your own "spirituality,"
- Getting your point across quickly and powerfully.
If you speak someone else's truth in someone else's voice, a few of their students will find you. But scores of your own students are waiting to find you. All you have to do is speak your own truth in your own voice.
Yoga today is similar to the tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes." There seems to be an increase in pseudo-spiritual teaching that is dressed up as essential but could quite possibly be invisible vapor. Given the pressure on teachers to "be spiritual" how do they evaluate what they are to teach?
The risk is we teach what we do not know. This can leave our students (and us) a bit suspicious, disconnected, and doubtful of what we are teaching. Did you ever worry that someone in the class might speak-up and contradict what you are saying?
To teach spirituality with confidence, we offer solid tools that put you on solid ground.
Many teachers are surprised to discover that they already have their own spiritual voice – the entire Live Love Teach curriculum is designed around that basic truth. In this Immersion, Philip will help you recognize the ways you are already teaching spirituality. He will show you how to clear away doubt, enabling you to teach spirituality with absolute clarity and confidence, so that your students might more easily learn and connect.
Deepak Chopra describes the difference between having the "map" and actually being in the "territory." As a teacher it's very helpful to have a spiritual map and to see where you are on it, where you came from, and where you are going. This alone brings confidence in teaching. You will take home:
- A simplified spiritual "map" that is easy to understand and easy teach "from."
- With the "map" in hand, how to see where you are in the "territory."
- Experiential, vigorous coaching on getting your point across quickly and powerfully.
- How to identify exactly when to speak and when to stay silent.
- How to use only those words and ideas that resonate with you.
- How and when to use outside references (e.g. quotes) while still speaking from your own source.
- A on-going daily plan to expand your ability to teach this powerful way and expand you ability to love (and therefore grow rapidly).

Backup is too hard
Storage environments are getting more complex, which makes data protection even tougher. While backup software does more these days, it's still frustrating the hell out of users.
Are more Symantec OST-like APIs needed?
by Lauren Whitehouse

Rouge was worn subtly and naturally during the day with Bésame colors such as Sun Kissed. For rosy cheeks, use Bésame's Sweet Pink or Raspberry blended and applied high on the cheekbones. Use a light foundation and shimmer powder for evening.
The eyebrows were thick and dark with a dramatic high arch. Shape the brows by tweezing stray hairs and fill in with dark shadow. Use Black Pearl for brunetts or Socialite Brown for blondes.
Eyes wore muted shadows such as Socialite Brown applied in the crease. For evening, saturated colors such as Pistachio and Peacock Blue were used with a thickly black liner with shadows like Bésame's Black Pearl or, for a darker effect, with liquid liner. The line was drawn close to the lashes and arched up at the end of the eye. Curl the lashes and apply two coats of black mascara to the top lashes only. For sexy droopy lashes, use a few individual false lashes at the corners of the eyes. Add a beauty mark with a brown pencil for fun.
The lips were full with sharp peaks on the top lip. Apply foundation, then draw the top lip overdrawing the sharp peaks and the full bottom lip. Apply the lip color with the blunt tip. Bésame Red, Wild Orchid, Exotic Pink, Carmine, and Portrait Pink are all great 50s colors.

Artists Sarah Parker and Michael Bodiam have recreated and photographed the meals of Olympians, according to Olympic nutritionist Dan Bernadot.
The artists took tips from the nutritionist's created meals for triathletes, gymnasts and all kinds of athletes – then laid them out in beautifully OCD-esque ways.
Says Parker: "I wanted people to be able to draw direct comparison between the diets, and to produce something quite playful that subtly hinted at the sport each athlete participated in."
Hands up who eats much less healthily than an Olympian?
Yeah, us too.

Reviews for Cauliflower Soup
Sort By :
I made this on a Sunday morning for lunch later on. It smelled so good my 12 yr old son had some for breakfast!!!! Its a huge hit and I love how he is getting several servings of vegies and calcium. The only thing I changed was I pureed about a cup of the cauliflower mixture before I added the milk cheese mixture. It was awesome!!!! Plus I love the fact that the recipe came from Chilliwack. My relatives all come from BC and I have spent many beautiful cool fall nights at Cultus Lake. This soup is perfect for fall. Thanks Debbie!
Great soup! It was very thick, and although I didn't mind it, others commented so I added some more milk to thin it out.
EXCELLENT soup! Everyone in the family loved the soup - even my 3 year old who hates eating her vegetables. I added quite a bit more of each of the vegetables and doubled the rest of the recipe. Definitely worth a try.
Great! Super easy and quick. I added additional chopped celery and carrots. Along with the chicken bouillon, I used some boxed chicken broth in place of some of the water. In equal amounts, I increased all the ingredients to compensate for the added vegetables. YUM!!
Easy & delicious. I've made it with cauliflower as the main ingredient, and also combined cauliflower with broccoli. Very good each time. Goes great with any sort of sandwich.

Edinburgh Airport enjoyed a strong rise in international passenger traffic last month thanks to a number of major new route launches.
A total of 937,093 passengers travelled through Edinburgh Airport last month, a 3.5% increase on May 2013. International traffic increased by 5.7% with 517,543 passengers travelling through the airport. Domestic passenger numbers also rose by 0.9% from 415,808 to 419,550.
The strong increase of international passenger traffic is largely down to the launch of a number of long and short-haul routes last month. From easyJet's new services to Bodrum and Heraklion, Jet2 starting a new service to Verona, Swiss carrier Edelweiss launching a new flight to Zurich and the three major long-haul routes to Chicago, Philadelphia and Doha within one week of each other, May was the most successful month on record for new business from Scotland's busiest airport.
Gordon Dewar, Chief Executive of Edinburgh Airport, said: "May was a tremendous month for us at Edinburgh Airport. We enjoyed two of our most successful weeks ever when we launched four international airline routes, something which we've never experienced before.
"We worked hard with our City partners to deliver Edinburgh's first Middle Eastern route and we're looking forward to a successful partnership with Qatar Airways who are operating Scotland's first scheduled Dreamliner.
"The success of these new routes will enhance our global connectivity and ensure we continue to provide our passengers with the best choice possible.
"With the school summer holidays just around the corner, coupled with the Ryder Cup and Edinburgh Festival, we're looking forward to welcoming many thousands of passengers through our airport over the coming weeks."
The moving annual total for the year ending May 2014 was 9,987,728.

Piney Grove enters video in national education competition
February 12, 2013
CUMMING, Ga. — Piney Grove Middle School is in the running for the Follett Challenge, a program to reward schools for their work applying technology, content and creativity in ways that engage students, foster literacy and promote critical thinking.
Last year, Piney Grove Middle School students volunteered at the Cumming First United Methodist Church food pantry and about 55 other community organizations. ALDO NAHED.
A short video was created about Piney Grove's Grizzly Great Day of Giving to help boost the school in this national competition to win up to $60,000.
This year will mark the third annual Grizzly Great Day of Giving at Piney Grove Middle.
Over 1,100 students, 100 staff members and around 100 parent and community volunteers will volunteer their time at more than 60 charitable and nonprofit organizations.
In years past, students, parents and staff members have participated in activities that range from feeding the hungry and visiting the sick to cleaning up the environment and helping the Humane Society.
The video shows the students' giving in action. It was filmed on the first Grizzly Great Day of Giving in 2011. It shows students getting their hands dirty and loving it.
The student, teacher and principal commentary adds perspective to the meaning of the day.
"We have seen the 'ripple effect' of our program in the community. This year, not only do we have more volunteers and volunteer opportunities than ever," said Kristen Deuschle, a media specialist at Piney Grove. "Other schools in the county have decided to start their own charitable programs."
Thirty percent of Piney Grove's total score for the Follett Challenge is based on the number of votes they get. To view their video, visit http://tinyurl.com/pineyvideo and vote.

Access Price Cap Mechanisms and Industry Structure with Information Acquisition
AbstractThis paper considers a network industry characterized by an upstream natural monopoly with cost uncertainty, regulated through an access price mechanism, and an unregulated downstream market with Cournot competition. The upstream monopolist can acquire information on the upstream cost while the information acquisition is prohibitively costly for the regulator and downstream firms. The information acquisition is also unobservable. I investigate how the presence of costly and socially valuable information on the upstream cost affects the desirability of allowing the upstream monopolist to produce in the downstream market (integration) rather than excluding it (separation). I show that when the upstream monopolist is regulated only through an access price cap, the information acquisition problem provides an argument in favour of vertical integration. However, when the regulator also obliges the upstream monopolist to share her access profits with consumers, a bias emerges in favour of separation via the impact of the access-profit sharing plan on the upstream monopolist's incentives to transmit information to her rival in the downstream market.

Sayet: Modern Liberal is Intellectually Retarded

That's not a shot at the mentally handicapped.
MRCTV's Dan Joseph talked to comedian and conservative author Evan Sayet about his new book, 'The Kindergarten of Eden: How the Modern Liberal Thinks and why He's Convinced that Ignorance is Bliss.'
Sayet explains that liberalism is based on moral equivalency the ability to blur the lines between right and wrong and a mentality that is based on little more than basic principles that children learn early in life. Therefore the modern liberal's intellectual growth is stunted in his or her quest for Utopia or in the belief that Utopia actually exists.

If you felt a sudden sense of déjà vu when Kevin Alston scored his very first MLS goal this past Saturday against Houston, it is with good reason. Head coach Jay Heaps revealed in an interview this week that he had shown the team video of a play in the March 30, 2013 matchup against FC Dallas at Gillette Stadium that very closely resembles Alston's goal (same shot angle, same spot and almost to the minute) in which Alston scored this past Saturday.
Check out the GIFs below. Second time's a charm!

Revolution vs. Houston Dynamo - April 12, 2014 (68th minute)
The Revolution had some fun both on the field and off the field with a huge 2-1 win at San Jose on Saturday night. Here's a few social media posts from players and staff following the match.

Dropping temperatures today turned a predicted rainy day into an unexpected snowstorm this afternoon, leaving many slipping and sliding all over the roads of New England. While it may have been just cold enough to snow, it appears as if Jose Goncalves and Stephen McCarthy were doing something much, much colder over the course of the weekend thus far - Cryotherapy.

— Goncalves Jose (@Oneswitz) January 18, 2014
What is a Cryotherapy chamber? Via Wikipedia:
The chamber is cooled, typically with liquid nitrogen, usually to a temperature of −120 °C (−184 °F)—although temperatures of −140 °C (−220 °F) or even −160 °C (−256 °F) have been used.[7] The patient is protected from acute frostbite with socks, gloves and mouth and ear protection, but in addition to that, wears nothing but a bathing suit. The patient spends a few minutes in the chamber. During treatment the average skin temperature drops to 12 °C (54 °F), while the coldest skin temperature can be 5 °C (41 °F). The core body temperature remains unchanged during the treatment, however it may drop slightly afterwards. Therapy triggers the release of endorphins which induce analgesia (immediate pain relief).
Suddenly this snow doesn't seem all that bad.

Earlier this month, USDA made clear that they plan to give the final go-ahead to the next generation of herbicide-resistent GE seeds. Widespread public concern about this new technology delayed its approval by more than two years. But on September 6, the final 30-day "waiting period" will come to a close, and Dow's new 2,4-D corn and soy will be approved for market.
PAN stands with communities across the country who are outraged at the pending decision. "USDA is much more interested in working with Dow and Monsanto to bring their products to market than in protecting the well-being of our farmers and rural communities," says PAN Senior Scientist Dr. Marcia Ishii-Eiteman in a passionate press statement.
Right now, EPA is reviewing Dow's "new use" application for 2,4-D to be used with the corporation's genetically engineered (GE) corn an
"This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water… Drift or runoff may be hazardous….The use of this chemical…may result in groundwater contamination." Does this sound like a green chemical of the future, something that you'd want drifting over fields, rivers, streams, schools and homes? Not so much. But our Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) may disagree.
EPA has been stumbling hard and making some bad decisions lately, including this latest announcement: the agency intends to approve Dow AgroScience's new formulation of the highly toxic herbicide, 2,4-D — to be used with the corporation's genetically engineered (GE) 2,4-D resistant corn, cotton and soybean seeds.
The public comment period for Dow's new genetically engineered, 2,4-D-resistant corn and soy closed yesterday. And despite comments from nearly 400,000 concerned individuals and farmers urging otherwise, USDA has signaled it will likely greenlight these new GE crops.
The comment period concluded on the eve of another historical date for the seed market. Four years ago today, the Department of Justice convened antitrust hearings to investigate consolidation of the seed market. There has been no follow through from these hearings, and we're still waiting for an explanation from the DOJ. In the meantime, corporations like Dow and Monsanto continue to consolidate control of global seed markets. Dow's new 2,4-D ready crops will be yet another driver of this consolidation.
A recent study links exposure to the insecticide DDT to Alzhiemer's disease. According to the study, even exposure to DDT decades ago may lead to a person developing the disease later in life.
DDT — a World War II-era pesticide used extensively in the U.S. until it was banned in 1972 — accumulates in people's bodies and persists for decades. Alzeimer's joins a long list of associated health harms.
