I purchased this ring after losing my wedding ring in the ocean. The plan was to have my original ring remade (it was custom) and I was only going to wear this while waiting for it to be done. Now almost 8 years later I am still wearing this set and still getting compliments on it. I LOVE this ring. It looks as good today as it did when I bought it. You will not be disappointed with this ring.

My fiancee just got me this ring and I absolutely love it. It looks read, it is the prefect size..not too big, not too small. I wear it proudly!!! Only thing I didn't like much is that when you put both rings together there is a gap between them.
Great at First... Dont expect it to last TOO long.
By Alysha, located in Lawrenceburg Ky
Recommends this item:
Ive ordered this set about three times, the finish wears off, it looks dirty and looks like you paid a penny for the set within 3 - 4 months of wearing it. Is a great ring... but dont expect to be too happy with it within a couple of months. Is poor quality.
Love it, but...
By lisa, located in new rochelle, NY
Recommends this item:
I really do love this ring, but unfortunately, wearing it on a daily basis has severely tarnished the silver is dull looking(even after cleaning) and the bands do not quite look as attractive as theydid initially.
Can't tell it's not real!
By lisa, located in new rochelle, n.y.
Recommends this item:
After quite a few months of researching all of your available wedding sets, I kept coming back to this one. Kept waiting and waiting for my hubby to finally agree to get it for me, and the price was the lowest I've seen it at the time of purchase. it truly is a gorgeous set, have gotten so many compliments, and it looks truly genuine. The hek with real diomonds...this set is perfect...and the perfect size zirconia. Thank you. Now if I could just get hubby to purchase the gorgeous tennis bracelet and necklace I want from you, I'll be a happier camper!

This was a beautiful set, the stone was just big enough to look realistic ,no one would ever know it wasn't real. unfortunately I had to return it b/c it was too big. I ordered a 5, but a 4 1/2 would have fit perfect, Hopefully you will get 1/2 sizes in the future. Melissa T.R. NewJersey

I got my ring in the mail and thought maybe it it too flashy. Yet the picture doesn't do it any justice. I get compliments on my ring at least weekly. Many people don't know that it isn't real diamonds. I love the way it sparkles like a real diamond wen the light hits it. I would definitely recommend this ring to anyone who wants to make an impression that is very upscale.

This is a very pretty setting. The center stone looks very real. My only complaint is that the center stone sits too low in the setting. It should be higher above the sides to look more real.

Twitter's Fan Since '09 Talks About His Meeting With Adam Aron

By Spike Eskin
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – If you don't already know what this is about, it's going to be tough to explain it to you.
In short, Fan Since '09 (@FanSince09) is sort of a Twitter celebrity in Philadelphia sports Twitter. He's an anonomous gentleman that takes it upon himself to both entertain the masses, as well as call shenanigans on people and things in Philly sports. The name, Fan Since '09, is an allusion to Phillies fans who just began liking the team after they won the World Series.
This make any sense to you? No? I'm sorry, I am.
In any case, the object of Mr. '09's ire recently has been Sixers CEO Adam Aron. FS09 launched into Aron on Twitter recently, calling him out for his tweets after the Sixers season has fallen apart.
Ever the gentleman, Aron invited FS09 to a game and lunch, as sort of an opportunity for an airing of grievances. That meeting took place Wednesday in Los Angeles, when the Sixers took on the Clippers.
After the meeting, I got a tweet from FS09 asking if he wanted me to call in to my show, as I was on SportsRadio WIP at the time. Of course, I said yes. And as far as I know it, we had the first time his voice has ever been heard.
Enjoy! If you made it this far, you might as well.

Is it possible to allocate additional ram to a node?

I have my development Couchbase on my computer. I would like allocate more memory to the group of buckets. How would I go about doing this?

To change the per-node memory quota, usually set up when you configure the first node of the cluster, use the CLI with the --cluster-init-ramsize option as documented here:

What will it take to be loved?
I'm feeling so vulnerable lately.
Today was seriously the worst I've had in a long time.
I know this doesn't matter to anybody, but nothing is scarier than the contemplations of hurting one self because somebody else has made you suffer.
I need to paint, draw, take photos, whatever. Just need to move away from this mess I've been living in and GROW.

2012 GMC Terrain SLT1 Review
Drives like a car, rides like a car, SUV Space, standard blind spot mirrors and back up camera, touch screen standard, rear legroom
Thick rear pillars, truck like view from driver seat
Great Compact Suv If You Want To Save Gas And Have Lots Of Standard Safety Equipment. — The 2012 GMC Terrain SLT-1 FWD 2.4 Is a pleasant vehicle for those wanting to haul their family and save some gas while doing it. This utility vehicle drives like a car. Front hood bulges a little in the corners giving it a truck feel. The 2.4L seems adequate for daily commuting although if towing and frequent highway driving is what you do go for the v6. Seats are comfortable and supportive. The leather is soft to the touch and the heated seats are nice. The SLE-2 + Pioneer audio system is great and has good bass. No rattles or squeaks, interior is well built. The interior is quiet at speed. Lots of rear leg room! Overall a strong contender in the compact suv segment.
Primary Use: Commuting to work

This is a great gas saver vehicle. I get 25 driving in town and 28 on long trips out on the highway; handles great, good visibility from vehicle,
Excellent — Easy to drive;great gas mileage;no mechanical issues at all; easy to get in and out of this vehicle,no stepping up or feeling like you are sitting on the ground and have to climb out of vehicle; quite, minimal to no road noise

Car with suv space
Low to the ground
Family Car — I like the features on the inside, the remote start and power lift gate, dislike the lack of ruggedness. This is a great alternative to a mini van or car but not really an suv more crossover vehicle. As long as the is what you are looking for you will be pleased. I owned a jeep wrangler befor this so that was hard to get over the differences.

2012 GMC Terrain SLE2 Review
Fuel economy is amazing, The size is just right for a 4 member family like mine. The look is unique.
The cargo area is a bit small.
Over All This Vehicle Is Just All Around Great. — I Love this car because it is over all just safe for my family, we drove it in to a ditch going 60mph to avoid a head on crash, and nothing big happend to the vehicle, I love this car for it's safety. I would recommend this vehicle for any one that would want to feel very safe with their vehicle.

great fuel economy, nice options, very safe vehicle, and reasonable pricing!
A Reliable, Safe, Fuel Efficient, Terrific Family Vehicle! — I love the 32mpg highway, being surrounded by safety, and the looks I get in this sharp Terrain. The sound system is excellent (Pioneer), they have improved vision (larger rear view camera screen and blind spot mirrors), and the autostart and heated seats are perfect for those cold mornings! If you are thinking about one, I highly recommend one (this is my second).

Easy to drive, back up camera.
Looks like a truck.
Solid Family Suv Without Suv Gas Mileage — Great All round SUV. Interior is well put together and has a premium feel. The 4 Cylinder has very adequate performance and V6 is great if you plan to tow or drive lots of highway KM's. Appearance is personal preference. Adds great value to compact SUV Segment and is a value leader.

YogaRoom in Bournemouth is one of my favourite places. If you're located in that part of the world, and you're into Yoga, the community, and general all round loveliness, you probably already know about this amazing studio. It's got to be the best example of a welcoming, all inclusive, non corporate place to practice that I've come across – a diverse range of excellent qualified teachers and a creative schedule of classes. It sounds cheesy, but there really is something for everyone there – pop down and have a look.
For me, I've know the people who run YogaRoom since we can remember, and I've been lucky to see them create and build something that has been a direct inspiration. It's amazing to learn from friends, and grow through the changes.
I've also had the privilege of photographing the YogaRoom teachers at a time when things were really coming together, and it's an ongoing project I hope to re-visit over time. There's a lot to do here, and I'm looking for an angle, to try to get to the core of both individual portraits and a universal message. And as I develop my own practice I also get closer to realising what I want this to be and where I want this to go, but for now, I'm letting the images talk, moving into stillness.

Mom Takes Son to Mexico for Gastric Surgery
75% of people in the US are overweight. 16% of them are children under the age of eleven. For many families struggling with overweight children, surgery is their only chance at change. But is taking them across the border worth the risk?
Being overweight was just something that 39-year-old Dante Fishell accepted as a norm -- she's been overweight her whole life and suffers from diabetes. She has tried every diet under the sun and nothing ever worked. But when she watched her son Joey balloon to 300 lbs at the young age of 13, she realized that surgery might be their only hope at saving his life. Dante found a surgeon in Tijuana, Mexico that would perform Gastric Lap Banding on both her and her son -- despite the fact that the procedure is currently not FDA approved for minors. Dante did not seek consent from Joey's pediatrician or from her own physician, she just went to Mexico.
Recently, UCSD Medical Center, along with ten other centers around the US, ran a trial to evaluate whether gastric banding is a safe and effective weight loss treatment in obese adolescents ages 14 - 17. Dr. Santiago Horgan, the Director of Minimally Invasive Surgery and Director for Center for the Treatment of Obesity at UCSD, who ran the trial and has performed more than 1,000 gastric banding procedures, told us in an interview that he does see patients in his office from complications who went to Tijuana. "It's very difficult to adopt a patient who we did not approve for surgery. It is a risk. In this case you need to see your physician and dietician, psychologist, etc., any time you need." Dr. Horgan also believes that a critical element to this operation is follow up. "The Follow up is the most important part of the surgery. If you go to Tijuana to have the procedure because it's cheaper, you will be limited to (access to) doctors with regards to follow up because you need to cross the border to see them."
We spoke to momlogic's pediatrician Dr. Cara Natterson, who believes that surgery should always be the last option and "should be coordinated with nutrition and exercise counseling."
But just how worthy is this surgery? Worthy enough to cross the border? You be the judge...
Check in tomorrow to meet another teenager who underwent Gastric Lap Band Surgery....
I think that the mother is to blame for this. She had no right to have her child at 300 lbs at age 13. That is just obsered. AHHHHHHH i think that somone should sit her down and ask her what she did to feed him and not put him outside to get some fresh air and to get some excersie. This is just crazy
Fantastic, saved the kid a life of being made fun of everyday every hour by school mates…he wouldn't have lost the weight otherwise. Probably saved his mom's life too and kept him from becoming a diabetic. The number of people that have been helped via diet long term as opposed to those that gave up, quit is very small…we are way too fat.
To all and especially Michelle, If you are a nurse I would have to ask my first question, why did you go to Mexico when they do it here in the United States. I had my lap band surgery four years ago at NYU Hospital in NYC by the most wonderful, caring, professional staff. I am thrilled, would do it monthly if I had to. Aside from losing over 100 lbs and feeling amazing, they specialize in children obesity. No reason to go out of the country, and it is approved and available here. My decision for the lap band is that it is reversable and before you condemn someone you should do your research. The article clearly states that he had the lap band surgery.
I think lab band for minors should be an option with careful decision making and follow up with a pediatrician, One thing people may not understand is that it is a reversable surgery, although it is not suppose to be viewed that way., Diet change is the key so motivation is critical but the causes of overeating must be addressed also. As a stress eater since childhood I can sympathize and finally had the lap banding done. Lap banding is more about portion control than strict dieting. Yes you can blow it if you are a junk food or milk shake junky, but it still works if you plan well with your physician
Lap Band is not Gastric Bypass. LB IS removable, GB is NOT. GB involves cutting, removing a chunk of stomach and intestines, altering your gastric system. LB involves a band that is placed around the upper part of your stomach to "pinch" off the opening to the stomach a bit so you cannot over eat or you will barf. LB is slower than GB to lose weight and you will get pretty close to goal weight, whereas GB you can get to goal and below. My sister had GB and wishes she had LB. Because she is now forever altered. Look up the differances before you condem people next time. You are only YOUR childrens mother, and that's IT. Keep your nose on your own face next time.
I think taking her 13 year old son across the border was a huge mistake. Will that child still be happy with his MOTHERS decision in another 10 years? 15 years? 20 years? While being 300lbs at 13 isnt healthy, the child should have been allowed to make their own decision when they were old enough. These surgeries are not a quick fix, you will lose weight but that doesnt mean you will keep it off. Its a last resort - what will the child have to turn to if they fail at this?? After surgery you are required to take suppliments FOR LIFE - you are suppose to follow a healthy protein packed diet and avoid certain foods/medications etc… how can you put that type of responsbility on a child? You cannot tell me that the mother will be able to control what this child does as they get older.
My opinion is 13 is much to young for such a major surgery.
Just a thought….putdown the remote controls and turn off the video games/tvs and go OUTSIDE and PLAY. You can be on all the diets you want but unless you are exercising regularly it is a waste of time.
This woman put her life and the life of her son at risk for a procedure that only works for about 18 months to 2 yrs. I know several people who had gastric bypass and they ALL gained most of the weight back. Look at Carnie Wilson, Al Roker, and Ann Wilson (of the band Heart who had the Lap-Band surgery) - ALL of them have gained most of the weight back and are STILL struggling with obesity. Gastric bypass and the Lap-Band DON'T work any better than any diet does - they're all only temporary. Sad, but true. This lady put her son at risk and in 5 years or less the kid will be back at or close to what he weighs now. Doctors are making a literal killing off of gastric bypass surgeries and a lot of people die or have serious complications from it. My cousin had it and she developed blood clots and now has to take blood thinner medicine for the rest of her life because of it. Another guy who had the surgery when another family member was in the ICU with him DIED from complications of the surgery - he was 30 years old! IMO, no one should ever have this surgery because it does NOT work!
Kelly most people seek medical procedures outside the US before they are cheaper and there are not as many strict policies in place as there are here in the US.
I have looked into lap band and gastric both here in the US and abroad. The drs here in the US have strict FDA procedures they must adhere to before surgery can be performed. Abroad there aren't those rules, it's all about the money.
I am 32 and about 375. I have always been heavy, even when I was a child. My mother cooked healthy and we were not allowed to sit in the house doing nothing. I have two children, 12 and 5 and both are active and keep me active. But I also suffer from arthritis and NO it's not brought on by being weight.
My mother is a thin woman, as was my grandmother and my great-grandmother, all of which have or had arthritis. It is debilitating to the point that some days I cannot even braid my daughters hair. Not all heavy people eat unhealthy, are inactive or couch potatoes.
People need to understand there is a TOTAL difference between gastric bypass (which is what Carnie Wilson did) and lap band surgery.
Until you know what exactly the lifestyle of this woman and her child were, you should learn to stop judging someone.
Best of luck to them both. God Speed.
In my opinion (and no you don't have to agree with me) gastric bypass and the lap band procedure should only be done when there is a medical condition prohibiting someone from exercising or for such conditions like hyperthyroidism, diabetes etc. and insurance should pay in those instances. However, if you made yourself obese because of your poor food and exercise choices, the surgery should either be off-limits to you or you would have to pay out-of-pocket without any help from your insurance. (It's not their fault you made yourself that way; and as a taxpayer, I shouldn't have to see premiums on health insurance go up because of other people's poor decisions). People are always looking for the easy way out, but even with those procedures and diet pills… the weight will come back, and more than likely you will gain more than you lost. The only true way to lose weight and keep it off is exercise and eating right. (DUH) And as for these obese children we are hearing more and more about… I blame the parents 200%. Your child doesn't buy the groceries or pay the tab when going out to eat… you do! Say no to little Timmy when he is throwing a tantrum in the supermarket…believe it or not, he won't die if he doesn't get that Snickers bar or ice cream cone. And how about instead of sitting your child in front of a television, gameboy or computer for hours on end, make them go outside and PLAY. What a novel concept. When I was growing up, my parents had to drag my brother and I in. Why is it now that kids see playing outside as a punishment? Kids don't gain 300Ibs overnight, so how about waking up and doing something about their ballooning weight instead of waiting until they hit that 300Ib mark?
More people need to take responsibility for their actions and find GOOD, HEALTHY ways to combat their problems.
I think it is kind of extreme to put a 13 year old boy through this, especially since this type of weight-loss surgery requires a lot of responsibility, that most young teen boys don't have. Either way i respect her choice as a mother as I am not.
Being obese takes toll on you as a human being. Example i'm 22 years old and weigh over 200lbs. I hate it. everything about it. I walk 3 miles a day, and eat healthy, but obviously not healthy enough. If i had the money, I would concider lap band surgery in the the blink of an eye. If that would aide me in my goal to a healthy weight, i would do it.
I have had the surgery within the past two years. I can tell you that I, as an over weight woman only ate 1,100 calories a day and excercised for an hour daily and still could not stop gaining weight. At 285lbs I gained weight going to weight watchers because the points were too much food for me. I ate things like salads and fruits and always stayed away from fried foods and sweets and I still was over weight. I have a condition know as polycycistic Ovary disease. This condition makes it almost impossible for people to loose weight. In my mothers side of the family I was the smalles person at 285lbs. The heaviest was an uncle at 598lbs. This condition makes your intesines absorb 90% of the fat that you intake instead of the normal 40%. This makes it almost impossible to lose wieght. I had the gastric bypass which bypasses the first five feet of small intestine and makes my body only absorb the 40% that is normal. Since I did not have bad eating habits before the surgery, I have had only small changes to my diet but I do know that this surgery is only a TOOL. People that have this surgery still need to do the work after it. It is never meant to be a cure all for obesity, it is supposed to give you the little extra push you need to do this yourself. I do take offense to people that do not understand what they are talking about concerning obesity. When you get to be overweight, it is hard enough to move let alone exercise. Many people that have never had to deal with being more than 20lbs over weight have no clue as to what people of 300lbs must face.
Fat or skinny, short or tall, people come in many shapes & sizes, no matter what size or shape, they are entitled to a life of dignity & acceptance. There are too many things in the various forms of media that love to make "fat" people a hideous anomoly & thanks to that, we now have more anorexics & bulemics, babies born to anorexic mothers (who knows how they'll turn out, but mama was a "yummy mummy" who made Angelina Jolie look like a fat sow!") & untold broken psyches because some (most) people feel that it is OK to criticize others for their weight or lack of it. What these idiots seem to forget is that ugly isn't just an asthetic property, it's a state of mind! For those who are losing (or gaining) weight to become more healthy, "hip-hip-hooray!" To those who feel they have a right to judge others: [holds up middle finger] sit & spin! I love my body & self, no matter what size I take (thanks to steroids to stay alive, it is often a large size too) & I couldn't care less what the "workout loving nutritionists" say. Love & treat yourself kindly, stop vying for the acceptance of others (as they will always find fault) & live a happy & fulfilled life. Fat or skinny, short or tall, we are all people & deserve to be treated with dignity & respect.
it's called exercise! Get up and do something!
I have to say this because it is important to me to perhaps save another mother from the pain that I go through everyday of my life. In 2001, my 18 year old son died from Gastric Bypass Surgery. He had the surgery and never left the ICU. He died 9 days later. If I could go back in time, I would give anything to be able to try to change our family eating habits, exercise more and most of all to discourage my beloved son from this life TAKING surgery. I cannot even look at an overweight child without tears in my eyes thinking that they too could die from this surgery. There is too mujch hype in the media, like on the Oprah show about how wonderful the operation is and how it changes peoples lives. Well it certainly changed my life . The media very seldom show the downside of the operation.
She was just trying to do the best thing for her son; maybe it seems a little drastic to us, but she knows her son and what he is capable of - we don't.
Maybe they already tried a whole array of things to get the weight under control, and nothing worked. Surgery seems a last resort, and yes it is life altering, and yes, he may gain the weight back - but also, this is obviously a devoted mother at her wits end, who was desperate to help herself and her son.
I wish them good luck with this, and I hope everything works out for them.
As a physician who has been overweight most of my life, I can say that the normal weight person who gains and loses 10# has no idea what it is like to have to watch everything one eats, 24/7 and to exercise more than others. Medical research shows that over 90% of people who lose weight fail to maintain it. It also shows that cultural changes (driving to & from work, eating out) have a greater impact on some body types than others. This boy DID go to Wt. Watchers, as did I, 3 times! I'm not stupid, this is a daily struggle. It is also complicated by the tendency to gain weight with lack of sleep. Since my retirement, I am steadily losing weight, more from sleeping enough than anything else. I do know and practice good nutrition, and have since my 1st Weight Watchers classes. This boy was dangerously obese and lap band surgery IS reversible, so no permanent changes have been made in his body. If you haven't had a history of obesity, you don't know what you're talking about. There are several hormones: ghrellin, leptin and cortisol, that contribute to being overweight. Google them.
The biggest culpret of overwieght children is whole milk. Get rid of the milk, if your child is over the age of two and is not underweight,he doesnt need milk.
It's the parents fault for letting their child get that big. Children can't drive through a fast food place so what food are YOU putting on their plate? I have a problem however with the comment "Dante did not seek consent from Joey's pediatrician." I don't think his mom did the right thing but I do believe it was up to her to make that decision. this country wants to make everyone's decision for them, because they know what's best. Let parent's decide. The doctor or the govt will not decide what's best for my family.
300lbs at age 13?!?!? Those parents ought to be arrested for child abuse!

Found November 27, 2012 on Project Spurs:
PLAYERS: Pau Gasol, Steve Nash, Antawn Jamison, Boris Diaw, Kobe Bryant, Raja Bell, Stephen Jackson, Matt Bonner, DeJuan Blair
TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs, Utah Jazz, Charlotte Hornets
TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs, Utah Jazz, Charlotte Hornets
That was a question that was asked in a Hoopsworld article. Pau Gasol has been a great fit so far in Mike D'Antoni's Lakers' "Run-N-Gun Lite" (since Steve Nash isn't running things) version of his old Phoenix Suns offense from years ago. You can understand Gasol's frustration with that system since it's a purely offensive heavy system with that side of the ball presenting an overwhelming advantage for D'Antoni's team while not really caring about the defensive liability it could cause. When D'Antoni began his official stint in Phoenix during the 2004-2005 season (not counting the 2003-2004 season when he took over for a departing Frank Johnson), he adopted a system of having Steve Nash run the ball down the court and scoring in seven seconds or less while giving him a cast of two 3 point shooting guards in the shooting guard and small forward positions while sliding his small forward as power forward and his power forward to center. It made his teams more athletic and gave Nash and his big man, Amar'e Stoudemire, an advantage of a wide open paint in a pick and roll scenario because of the high percentage 3 point shooters around them. Even when Stoudemire got hurt the following year, he inserted a versatile forward into Amar'e's position with his athleticism and passing skills. With the comparisons of those teams and what the Lakers have (even with a healthy Steve Nash running the show), you can see how those teams are vastly different from this Lakers team (and you can also see why D'Antoni prefers Antawn Jamison in situations over Gasol: he can shoot 3 pointers). I don't want this to seem like a Lakers article on a San Antonio Spurs website, but here's the expected swerve: the versatile forward that succeeded in D'Antoni's "Run-N-Gun" system when Amar'e Stoudemire got hurt is current Spurs player, Boris Diaw. The Lakers have been reported to be interested in bringing in former Sun and the only guy to give the Lakers' Kobe Bryant a clothesline during a basketball game, Raja Bell. The move to bring in former Suns would make sense for D'Antoni because it'd buy the team time to gel and build chemistry, but it also doesn't make sense as D'Antoni doesn't usually run a rotation of more than seven players. That's where the Boris Diaw factor might come in. Players like Diaw, not Bell, are what made the Suns' offense potent: he gives them an advantage on a big position that teams rarely can counter with one player. The question probably won't be legitimate, but it wouldn't hurt to ask - could the Lakers dare to trade Gasol to a rival to please their new coach and new point guard? Nash and Diaw are so close that it was said that Nash's relationship with Suns management deteriorated because Phoenix didn't pursue Diaw when he was bought out by the Charlotte Bobcats. The Lakers are in a bind, they've given in to the old Phoenix Suns offense needs already, which is why Gasol is feeling lost with his team. He's making $19 million this year and the Spurs don't have many trade assets to make it work unless there's a third team involved. I have no idea if the Spurs would be willing to throw in fan favorite Stephen Jackson ($10 million) with Diaw ($4.5 million), but that would leave them short a few million, maybe a Matt Bonner and DeJuan Blair add on. The scenario seems unlikely without a third team because the Spurs would be needing to give up too many significant players. The Lakers are struggling with Gasol though and he's too expensive to not play. D'Antoni is also signed for four years and Kobe Bryant is older, so they're handcuffed into a D'Antoni system, which might make them desperate if they're still struggling for a few more weeks.

Cultures of Innovation of the African Poor: Common Roots, Shared Traits, Joint Prospects? On the Articulation of Multiple Modernities in African Societies and Black Diasporas in Latin America
AbstractThe globalized Western culture of innovation, as propagated by major aid institutions, does not necessarily lead to empowerment or improvement of the well-being of the stakeholders. On the contrary, it often blocks viable indigenous innovation cultures. In African societies and African Diasporas in Latin America, cultures of innovation largely accrue from the informal, not the formal sector. Crucial for their proper understanding is a threefold structural differentiation: between the formal and informal sector, within the informal sector, according to class, gender or religion, and between different transnational social spaces. Different innovation cultures may be complementary, mutually reinforcing, or conflicting, leading in extreme cases even to a 'clash of cultures' at the local level. The repercussions of competing, even antagonistic agencies of innovative strategic groups are demonstrated, analyzing the case of the African poor in Benin and the African Diasporas of Brazil and Haiti.

Members of the Catawba Valley Traffic Club met tonight in Hickory to view a demonstration of a Level 1 Inspection by the North Carolina Highway Patrol.
Cargo Transporters' driver Derrick Whittle brought his rig for troopers to use for demonstration purposes.
"You have a lot of equipment out here that really doesn't need to be out here," said Whittle. "Those things raise red flags for the DOT. So, under normal conditions, that's when they will pull you for a Level 1 Inspection. But they do do it at the weigh stations."
Trooper Destry Moose handled the inspection demonstration.
"There's several levels, but the level one is the complete inspection," said Moose. "Vehicle, driver, contents, just all facets of the truck. Every level of inspection includes the log book and the driver himself. Checking him for fatigue, impairment and just anything else and also his hours of service."
While paper log books still exist, Moose says companies are moving toward automatic versions, which will alert drivers when they are close to timing out for the day.
After 14 hours of work, drivers must stop and take a break for 10. After 168 hours of work, drivers are then required to rest for 34 hours.
With the recent accident involving a big rig and actor Tracy Morgan in New Jersey, where driver fatigue might have been a factor, the time behind the wheel is in the spotlight. Whittle believes the way to avoid a 24-hour work day is to use automatic log books.
"You cannot, if you are using electronic logging, you cannot drive that long," he said. "It's impossible."

"The State Engineer," said Sarah Fields, program director of the anti-nuclear Uranium Watch in Moab, "did not properly investigate [Blue Castle] claims regarding the financial arrangements and utility commitments to the project."
Uranium Watch, along with more than 200 other groups, individuals and government agencies, protested the water rights change applications, with many of them questioning the finances.

Jones previously told The Tribune that he has no one on staff qualified to perform detailed financial investigations and that he did not believe he was required to bring in an expert to perform such a review. Financial scrutiny of the project will come from the NRC, he explained.
It is not clear whether the SEC's cease-and-desist action will prompt anyone to request a reconsideration of the water-rights change.
Jones said no one has requested the opportunity to present any new information about the license application so far, but there are still two weeks left to file such a request.
In addition, anyone who objects to the license will have an opportunity to appeal the decision in state court, he said.
"There's no doubt someone will request reconsideration," said Matt Pacenza, of the Healthy Environment Alliance of Utah. "The weakest part of the state engineer's decision by far is the part where he determined this is a reasonable plan to fund the project. It's alarming that Blue Castle is not only refusing to tell Utahns how it plans to make this happen, but apparently also not telling the state engineer."

The Visualization Team uses visual communication to make huge amounts of data more rapidly accessible, knowledge transmission more attractive, and decision-making processes more efficient.
Maps, illustrations, animations—pictorial representations are a solidly anchored and essential part of everyday life. In fractions of seconds, images are analyzed and comprehended by our brain. They are attractive, capture attention, arouse emotions and retained in memory. But above all they transport vast amounts of information.
Nevertheless, the saying, "a picture is worth a thousand words" is misleading. This is because images speak quite a different language, and this language can be put to its own specific uses. But whereas the writing of texts is intensively practiced and scientific reports are elaborately composed, competent employment of images and film is often lacking.
This is where the Visualization Team can be of service to the scientists at the Earth Observation Center (EOC): whether for outside communication, three-dimensional real-time situation portrayals, or simulating landscapes for traffic research.
