Creating a Hemisphere of Opportunity: Five Decades of Achievements
The Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) was established in 1962 as an affiliate of the Organization of American States (OAS). It was created through a unique cooperative agreement between the OAS and private enterprise to provide a specialized non-governmental organization to assist the least advantaged people in Latin America and the Caribbean in support of the Alliance for Progress initiated by the Kennedy administration. Funding was provided by the Social Progress Trust Fund at the Inter-American Development Bank, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the OAS and corporate and private donors.
They were interested in creating a foundation that could mobilize the private sector to assist the neediest people through productive employment in micro-enterprises, technical training, developing civil society, encouraging national entrepreneurship, and facilitating corporate social responsibility.
PADF was inspired by the establishment in Guatemala in the early 1960s of the Penny Foundation by Samuel Greene who organized a group of local businessmen to create a fund to provide small loans to indigenous people and rural residents who had no access to credit. It pioneered one of the first micro-lending programs, later made famous by the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh.
PADF provided support to the Penny Foundation and sought to replicate its methods throughout the hemisphere. Beginning with assistance to a group in the Dominican Republic, this initiative then expanded to create 33 similar micro-enterprise foundations or institutes in other countries during the 1970s and 1980s.
Over the past five decades, PADF has strengthened thousands of Latin American civil society groups through the provision of technical assistance, equipment and training for institution-building and local fundraising. It has provided grants to expand their activities that have benefited millions of destitute people living in the Americas, especially in countries like Haiti, Honduras, Bolivia, Colombia, the Caribbean Basin, among others.
PADF has also helped non-governmental organizations (NGOs) form alliances with municipalities, government agencies, corporate and private donors to develop micro-enterprises, provide employment and technical training, improve basic services, facilitate citizen participation in community-action programs, and aid victims of natural disasters and humanitarian crises. PADF is a support mechanism for the Inter-American Democratic Charter approved by OAS-member States on September 11, 2001 for strengthening civil society, community groups and the private sector as fundamental pillars of democracy.
The Foundation embodies the spirit of hemispheric solidarity and cooperation that gave birth to Pan-Americanism and the Inter-American system in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Working in partnership with local non-profits, PADF makes assistance available to some of the least fortunate in the Americas, such as those trapped in poverty and conflictive areas, displaced and indigenous people, Afro-descendent populations, victims of natural disasters, and other vulnerable groups. With support from public and private donors, PADF has evolved into the largest foundation in the Inter-American system, mobilizing almost $600 million for projects during its nearly 50 years of operation.
The OAS was the first international organization to create a specialized NGO affiliate. The United Nations, the U.S. government and others later used PADF as a model for establishing similar foundations.
PADF is founded by the Organization of American States with support from the Inter-American Development Bank in support of President John F. Kennedy's Alliance for Progress.
The Guatemalan Penny Foundation is founded to provide microcredit to community groups. It served as the model for PADF's National Development Foundation Movement. That year, PADF receives its first grant of $5,000 from the Sloan Foundation.
PADF establishes Operation Children, which provided funds for school construction, teaching materials, potable water systems, and hot lunches.
PADF receives its first USAID grant to support the foundation of the NDFs.
The first NDF is established in the Dominican Republic.
PADF joins forces with Tools for Freedom program to channel U.S. vocational equipment to the developing world. Later named Tools for Training, this program has served thousands of needy students learning trades and seeking jobs. PADF's new Health Services Program sends its first shipment to Chile.
The number of NDFs created by PADF reaches ten in the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Argentina, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. PADF also provides disaster relief for the first time to Honduras and El Salvador.
The OAS names PADF a "special purpose foundation" and a "service foundation," recognizing its focus on poverty alleviation and services to the poor. PADF registers with USAID as a private voluntary organization and achieves consultative status with the UN.
PADF signs agreement with the Pan American Health Organization for technical cooperation and evaluation of health programs.
A four-year agroforestry program begins in Haiti.
The OAS and PADF sign a formal cooperative agreement.
PADF begins rural development projects in the Eastern Caribbean, Honduras, and Belize
PADF holds the first Contact Forum for Latin American and Caribbean nongovernmental organizations.
The thirty-third and final National Development Foundation is created in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala.
The Children's Surgical Program begins in Nicaragua.
A $30 million USAID-funded Haiti jobs program begins.
Municipal development programs begin in Argentina, Guatemala, and Peru.
The World Bank and Government of Haiti fund a second $30 million Haiti jobs program.
PADF begins an employment project with internal Colombian refugees. PADF also signs strategic alliance for disaster assistance with American Association of American Chambers of Commerce in Latin America (AACCLA).
The Health Services Program generates $420,000 in donations and delivers $195,000 in hospital equipment and supplies to medical institutions in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Uruguay, Paraguay, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.
PADF launches a remittance-based economic development initiative that supports U.S.-based immigrant groups from El Salvador, Haiti, and Mexico who are working to improve education and infrastructure, generate jobs, increase incomes, and provide sustainable opportunities for communities in their countries of origin.
With U.S. Department of Agriculture and Government of Haiti backing, PADF supports the development of rural Haiti by improving mountain roads, repairing irrigation systems, retrofitting primary schools, planting more than 200,000 trees, and protecting and reclaiming arable land.
PADF's USAID-funded Hillside Agriculture Project rejuvenates Haiti's exports of premium specialty coffees sold in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, resulting in assistance to more than 58,000 people, crop revenue increases of $1.14 million, and the facilitation of $795,000 in farmer loans.
A program to reduce vulnerability to natural disasters benefits more than 165,000 people in 70 communities in Costa Rica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Colombia.
Through the Our Border program, PADF reaches more than 100,000 Haitians and Dominicans by strengthening 43 local civil society organizations in the cross-border region that year alone. PADF also assists the Haitian Parliament to create a special border commission that results in a significant increase in funding for the border region.
PADF's In-Kind Donations program reaches more than 1 million beneficiaries in nine countries, including Peru, Ecuador, Jamaica, and Uruguay, with medical equipment and tools for training. This is an increase of 66 percent from the previous year.
PADF's benefits more than 17,500 students, teachers, and parents through the Manos Unidas por El Salvador program, which serves as a transnational model for improving education. In Colombia, more than 289,500 internally displaced persons receive support ranging from education and psychological services, to new infrastructure and job training.
After the deadly January 12 Haiti earthquake, PADF delivers $2.2 million in private sector and individual aid to more than 1.7 million people—PADF's most extensive relief effort to date. PADF also trains 400 engineers who inspect the structural integrity of more than 389,000 buildings in Port-au-Prince, becoming the largest assessment ever conducted for a disaster of this magnitude.
In Haiti, PADF speeds up efforts to repair multi-family homes in Haiti, the epicenter of the 2010 earthquake, with a $1.98 million grant from the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund and a $1 million grant from equipment manufacturer Caterpillar. PADF also announces a $1.2 million expansion of Colombia's South-South Cooperation Program, a program funded by Colombia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs with support from the Presidential Agency for Social Action and International Cooperation to help consolidate and strengthen cooperation with Central America and the Caribbean.

Dear EUROSOLAR and World Council for Renewable Energy Members, Colleagues and Friends –
Rising tensions reveal a deep crisis of government and the integrity of political leadership. Needed as never before – and sorely lacking are forward looking statesmanship, and a keen concern for ethical stewardship, of private responsibility and public accountability. Seen from central Europe this need for – and paucity of – this kind of political leadership is glaring. Around the world fossil-fuel enhanced and nuclear power driven ethnic, political and military tensions abound, with global complicity in the form of energy interest and investment collusion evident in the manifold upheavals that grip the world from the Ukraine to the China Sea.
Renewable City World Congress, Versailles, France, July 10 + 11, 2014:
Energy Transitions and the Rise of the Ecological City: Innovations in Architecture, Planning and Landscape.
The World Council for Renewable Energy (WCRE) is pleased to announce the Renewable City World Congress , to be held in Versailles, France, July 10 + 11, 2014. The WCRE is proud to be patron of the Renewable City World Congress, staged by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication and the French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy, the Atelier International du Grand Paris, Veolia Environnement and Vedecom. Opening speech: Peter Droege, General Chairman World Council for Renewable Energy (WCRE), EUROSOLAR President, Professor of Sustainable Spatial Development, University of Liechtenstein.
The two-day event is taking place as part of the research program Ignis Mutat Res® (Fire Changes Things).
Ignis Mutat Res® (IMR) is an inter-ministerial, French government initiative and multi-annual interdisciplinary research program in sustainable design, looking at architecture, the city and the landscape through the prism of energy . It addresses the relationship between the spatial design disciplines and energy – a fundamental component of the environmental perspective.
In commemoration of Hermann Scheer
On April 29, 2014 Hermann Scheer would have celebrated his 70th birthday.
Hermann Scheer, founder of EUROSOLAR and recipient of the Right Livelihood Award, died at age 66 fully engaged in a life of ideas and initiatives. He had been a member of the German Bundestag for three decades and significantly influenced the political discourse in the country in many fields, with courage, far-sightedness and determination. Hermann Scheer was dedicated to the broad shift in the energy basis of modern civilization: from fossil and nuclear resources to renewable energies. He had realized early that it was essential for an intact environment and for opportunities for peace as well. He was a thought leader, motivator, reformer and revolutionary. The death of Hermann Scheer has brought into focus the extraordinary achievement of his life's work.
Thank you for sharing with us your memories of Hermann Scheer.

" Logitech B500 1.3MP Webcam - Web camera - colour - audio - USB "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Logitech have a decent name for themselves. I wouldn't necessarily say they are an elite brand, as they produce plenty of products that fall short of the mark. Some of their wireless mice or keyboards for example are better thrown on the dump rather than fought with as you try to maintain their connection.
This particular wireless camera is a decent model. There are plenty of better ones available, so if you're looking for an immaculate, all singing all dancing webcam that will solve all of your distance conferencing problems then this may not be the one for you. If however you need something that will plug into your PC nice and easily and can provide basic distance comms then it's worth a shot at this one.
The 1.3 megapixel image isn't the best. At work, I have used this to try and take images for ID cards and what comes out often isn't the best. This has a bit to do with the quality of the printer that we have, but the image on screen is also somewhat inferior to many other webcams I have seen. Part of this is the device's ability to stretch out and perform an almost landscape/widescreen function. Now, this may be of particular note if you're after something basic for conferences. To include a room full of people without having to move a webcam can often be difficult, particularly if your distance involves two or three people round a PC one end a similar thing the other end. The visual quality doesn't have to superb (which isn't with this) but it provides it in real time and won't go on the blink, at the same time as presenting you with the possiblity of actually being able to see everyone in the room.
This widescreen element does have its benefits, and the built in microphone on it also helps. However, it's not very sophisticated, so it will also pick up extra noise and not just your voice, so anticipate plenty of keyboard clattering and mouse clicking, or if you're using it for Skype at home then any domestic noises will also be picked up and not filtered. It's particularly adept at blocking out voices in favour of rustling paper - a touch frustrating...
But it's compatible with pretty much anything. Simple USB 2.0 technology, works well with Windows 7, plug it in and it works pretty much instantly. Of course, it helps if you have software you can integrate it with, but this isn't essential, and I find that if you have a computer without a built in webcam then this sort of thing is ideal. It comes with a CD Rom for installation purposes, but in all honesty I typically ignored that, plugged it in and checked to see what happened. The USB tech was enough, I put the CD in for the basics but really it didn't need much work. It has a flexible neck that is also very sturdy and reliable - you can manipulate it quite accurately without fearing it will break. There's a cover for the lens that retracts back over the top, making it practical, and the base is good enough that it can easily hook over an object or sit at an angle. The auto adjust button helps the focus when using it so this is also considered.
The simplicity is perhaps the biggest selling point for domestic purposes. I guess there are better webcams out there now, and most laptops now have built-in cameras, but don't discard something like this if you see for a cheap price. It's still a reliable solid model. Prices on this range quite dramatically I find. I've seen available for not much more than £10, but similarly in excess of £30. You can pick up higher megapixel webacms that are pretty rubbish in most other aspects for around the £10 mark, but a decent one will set you back a bit more. Worth a look, but consider other products as well. In a fast moving market, value is time relative.
This webcam is optimized for Microsoft Office Communicator to give users the best video conferencing experience. A glass lens with a wide-angle field of view allows for small group video conferencing - and keeps images clearer. It's easy on IT - you simply plug in this UVC-compliant webcam and you're ready to make video calls.

News in Brief: Decemberists, Disappears, Freeway, Rocky Votolano
By Tom Breihan on December 7, 2009 at 6:45 p.m. EST
-- As part of their online charity auction, the Portland Mercury is selling an hour-long, one-on-one guitar lesson from Decemberists guitarist Chris Funk. The highest bidder will also get a new Epiphone Les Paul Studio guitar. As I'm typing this, the bidding is only up to $202.50, which seems pretty low. Proceeds go to Outside In, which helps homeless and needy people. Check here for all the details.
-- The Chicago rock band Disappears-- which features Brian Case from the Ponys and 90 Day Men-- have signed to Kranky. The label will release their first album, Lux, next April. Disappears will also open for Tortoise on tour in February.
-- We first reported on The Stimulus Package, the collaborative album from Philly rapper Freeway and Seattle producer Jake One, back in March, and now it finally has a release date. Rhymesayers will release it on February 16, when its title will no longer be even remotely topical.
-- On February 23, Barsuk will release True Devotion, the new album from Seattle-based singer-songwriter and former Waxwing frontman Rocky Votolato.

Spice Girls find Charles "very sexy"AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE
The Prince of Wales with members of the British chart-breaking all girls pop group `The Spice Girls' at the end of the Royal Cola show celebrating 21 years of the Prince's Trust in Manchester on Friday.
The Prince of Wales met the five girls at the start of a 21st anniversary Royal Gala for his Prince's Trust, which helps small businesses. Geri Halliwell - known as Ginger Spice - planted a kiss on his cheek at the Opera House in Manchester, leaving it covered in lipstick, patted his bottom and told him: ``You know, I think you are very sexy. We could spice up your life.'' The Prince declined an invitation from Posh Spice - 24-year-old Victoria Adams - to have his tongue pierced.
He then thanked them for taking part in a star-studded line-up at the gala, telling them, ``You are extremely good to do this''.
The performance also starred Phil Collins.

Support frames | Single sided wall formwork
Harsco Infrastructure's support frames are used in the construction of single-sided walls when tying through the formwork is not possible. An example is the construction of concrete walls cast against the face of existing walls in basement, earth works construction or similar.
Support frames are suitable for wall formworks up to a height of 8.60 m and a maximum concrete printing amount to 60 kN/m². The height and number of supports are adapted to the wall surface and the concrete printing. Sufficient spatial reinforcements are vital for supporting anchor-free walls.
Compatible with panel formwork, as well as traditional soldier and beam formwork, makes the system exceptionally versatile for any single sided wall formwork application.
Supports frames at a glance
- Wall formworks up to a height of 8.60 m
- Concrete printing up to 60 kN/m²
- Compatible with all formwork types
In 2011 Bell Scaffolding, ESCO, Hünnebeck, SGB and Patent joined forces to operate under the new name of Harsco Infrastructure.

This selection was made by Josh Hill of FanSided.com.
With the fourth pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select Luke Joeckel, offensive tackle, Texas A&M.
The Eagles wet dream has finally come true. Despite the fact that numerous people have said Joeckel is a first overall talent, he slipped down to Chip Kelly and the Eagles at fourth overall.
While Kelly would love to have a young, mobile quarterback to run his offense, Joeckel is key to ensuring that what happened last year doesn't happen again. He's a massive left tackle who frankly faced much stiffer competition in the SEC than Eric Fisher did, meaning the Eagles got a real steal with this one.
Geno Smith isn't a bad option for the Eagles, but when it comes down to needs, if Joeckel's name is on the board, we don't have a unit of measurement low enough to accurately describe the amount of time it will take for the Eagles to take him. The only other thing they'd do here is trade down with a team who really wants Joeckel, but that deal would need to be extremely rich in order for the Eagles to pass up Joeckel.
Here is how the draft currently stands:
1. Kansas City Chiefs — Eric Fisher, offensive tackle, Central Michigan
2. Jacksonville Jaguars — Dion Jordan, defensive end, Oregon
3. Oakland Raiders — Sharrif Floyd, defensive tackle, Florida
4. Philadelphia Eagles — Luke Joeckel, offensive tackle, Texas A&M

How to Create Spiritual Whitespace in Your Life
- Wednesday, June 18, 2014
Editor's Note: The following is a report on the practical applications of Bonnie Gray's new book Finding Spiritual Whitespace: Awakening Your Soul to Rest (Revell Books, 2014).
Just as whitespace on a page or screen creates beauty by giving your eyes a place to rest, spiritual whitespace – places to enjoy soul rest with God – can give you a beautiful life of peace, joy, and confidence.
You can heal from the stress and pain that clutters your life by intentionally creating more spiritual whitespace. God will meet you in that whitespace and awaken your soul with rest, making something beautiful out of you.
Here's how you can create spiritual whitespace in your life:
Open your heart to experience rest with Jesus. Rest is not something you need to engineer; it's something you can simply receive as a gift by inviting Jesus into your current circumstances. Make time regularly to communicate with Jesus in prayer, trusting that he will accept you just as you are. Open your heart to Jesus and welcome the peace that he wants to give you.
Investigate why you feel stressed and hurt. Don't hide from parts of your past that trouble you. Instead, ask the Holy Spirit to help you explore your past and come to understand how past experiences have contributed to the stress and wounds that affect your life right now. Stop wasting your energy on efforts to try to suppress your pain, distract yourself from it, or cope with it in unhealthy ways (such as by working hard to try to feel better about yourself, or trying to escape from reality through worldly pleasures that can't really fulfill you). Admit the brokenness you feel to Jesus, and accept his invitation to speak to Him in your full voice about your pain to begin the healing process.
Listen to what your feelings are telling you. While it's true that you shouldn't rely on your feelings to guide your decisions (because they're constantly changing and sometimes aren't accurate), the emotions you feel do have valid messages to give you about the state of your soul. So rather than ignoring your feelings, pay close attention to them. Pray about your emotions, asking Jesus to show you where they should lead you in your journey with him.
Overcome rejection and risk being loved and known. Remember the rejection you've experienced in the past – such as having a friend betray you, losing a job, or hearing critical words from your parents or a romantic partner – and consider how that rejection has affected your confidence. Whenever you feel like you're not special, ask the Holy Spirit to help you see yourself from God's perspective: as someone whom he completely understands, loves deeply, and treasures as part of His family. Risk being yourself with confidence – both in prayer with God, and in conversations with some other believers you trust – and derive comfort and encouragement from those relationships.
Recover pieces of yourself that have been abandoned. Put together the broken pieces of your life by relying on the Holy Spirit to help you discover more about yourself. Then you'll be able to see a more complete picture of who you are as a person. Connect to pieces of your past through memory activities such as: visiting neighborhoods you lived in growing up, writing down some of your happiest and saddest childhood memories, and listening to some music you enjoyed growing up. As you recall your childhood prayerfully, the Spirit will give you new insights into your true identity as one of God's beloved children.
Make time for more joy in your life. Prioritize time for yourself regularly to enjoy pursue that will awaken your soul. Brainstorm ways to find joy from specific people, places, activities, foods, music, etc.

Detroit Lions defensive end Cliff Avril is one of the most desirable pass rushers on the market. When free agency comes on March 12th he could be on his way out of Detroit if a deal isn't done. He is a young player, 26, who has compiled 29 sacks in the last 3 seasons.
While some might be turned off about his comments about wanting "Mario Williams" type money, he says that was just a misunderstanding.
"I didn't say I wanted Mario Williams money, I'm like, 'Who wouldn't want his money?' " Avril said. "The guy asked me, 'Mario made this amount of money, is that something [you'd want]?' I'm like, 'Shoot, wouldn't you want it? Who wouldn't want that deal?' But people take it further than that."
So here it is, Cliff Avril's Top 5 Potential NFL Suitors:
5. New York Giants
The Giants are known for getting after the quarterback. They draft heavily which makes me think they'd pursue a pass rusher in the draft, but a free agent answer to play opposite Jason Pierre-Paul could be Avril. I know you're thinking what about Justin Tuck, he's old and declining and inconsistent. Avril is 26 and just entering his prime and could be a force over the next few years.
4. Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks have a defense emerging, and a young star like Avril could take them to another level. The have a serviceable defensive ends in Bruce Irvin, who compiled 8 sacks but struggles against the run. Imagine if they had a 10 sack a season monster opposite him. Not to mention with quarterbacks running for their life Richard Sherman would have a field day.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
No team in the NFL gave up more yards in the air per game than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Opponents averaged 297.4 yards through the air. Quarterbacks completed 65% of their passes against the Bucs, and that's not surprising considering they had the third worst sack total, 27, in the NFL. Quarterbacks have a field day against Tampa Bay and they need to make them uncomfortable, Cliff Avril and his 10 sacks a season could help a desperate need.
2. Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions want to keep Avril, the franchise tag was just too much and hopefully they can get him cheaper than that via a long term deal. He'd like to stay with Detroit, players there believe something is special happening and they can be a part of it. Not to mention when Ndamukong Suh is in the middle of the defensive line, that frees you up on the end. However they play in a tough division and success might be found in a weaker division.
1. Atlanta Falcons
You know when the Falcons sent John Abraham packing that they were hoping they'd find another quality pass rusher on the free agency market. While Dwight Freeney looked like an early option, they would clearly prefer Cliff Avril. He's only 26, a 5 year vet and a sack machine. Avril would most likely be attracted to coming to Atlanta, who wouldn't be, a team that lost in the NFC Championship game and has Super Bowl potential.

Regular readers of this Blog might have detected a certain interest in what has been described as the growing waste crisis, not least the increasingly vexatious abandoned car mountain brought about by insane EU landfill rules.
But never fear. After an article in the motoring section of The Times earlier in July, which raised precisely the fears that had been rehearsed in this Blog, Baroness Young, erstwhile Chief Executive of the Environment Agency, has today come to the rescue with a letter back to the Times.
According to the fragrant Baroness, who writes from her equally fragrant address in one of the nicer – bijou even – parts of Bristol, there is absolutely no problem at all. Anyone who has to dispose of their faithful old car, it should be a "comfort" that "her properly depolluted and shredded remains can still rest legally in peace in an appropriately licensed landfill site, just as they could before the change in waste disposal rules on July 16."
"Car breakers have not shut up shop and clogged the streets with abandoned vehicles", the Baroness chirps. "Used cars are being taken away and dismantled. Vehicle dismantlers have been required since last year to remove batteries, mercury, fuel, oil and other hazardous substances from old cars."
She does, concede that "It does cost more", but the Baroness does not find that a problem. "Given our love affair with our motor cars, it is the price we have to pay to prevent them remaining a pollution risk in death as they are in life", she purrs.
If this was not a civilised, family Blog, one would be tempted to observe that this complacent, patronising garbage might impel someone less restrained than myself to rip out the fair Baroness's lungs, chop them, mix them with her verbal excrescences and feed them back to her, line by line until she choked. But, as this is a family Blog, we could not even think of saying such a thing.
Nevertheless, we can observe that the Baroness has not exactly addressed the points of concern, and is being more than a little disingenuous in her bland assurance that "properly depolluted and shredded remains can still rest legally in peace in an appropriately licensed landfill site, just as they could before the change in waste disposal rules on July 16."
Furthermore, in deconstructing her text, we can learn a great deal about how the official mind works – if that is the right word. In the above section, the key words are "properly depolluted" and "appropriately licensed", and they tell the tale.
For a start, the confusion and difficulties lie in the definition of what constitutes "properly depolluted". The problem is that it is the Baroness's own organisation, the Environment Agency, that decides and, so far, they have not been able – or willing – to tell the breakers exactly what it means. The breakers must guess and hope they get it right, in the knowledge that if they do not – and fall foul or some retrospective definition – they will be prosecuted.
Then there are the weasel words "appropriately licensed". If the shredded, un-recyclable remains are, by some definition as yet not known, classed as non-hazardous, they can be disposed of in a normal "appropriately licensed" landfill site (for the moment – until the increased recycling quotas kick in, but that is another story).
If they are hazardous waste (because of residual pollutants, at a level as yet unspecified, according to a test which has not yet been specified), then they must be buried in an "appropriately licensed" hazardous waste site – of which there are now far too few to meet demand.
The trouble comes if (or when) the breakers get it wrong. It is an offence to dispose of hazardous material in a non-hazardous site, but it is also an offence to dispose of non-hazardous material in a hazardous site – damned if you do, damned if you don't.
For the moment, however, there is an uneasy truce which has prevailed since 21 July when the Environment Agency issued a statement offering a "three month window" during which "a simplified de-pollution checklist" can apply, to allow breakers time to develop "the capability to comply" with EA guidance.
But it was precisely that guidance with which compliance was impossible, or impossibly expensive. For now, though, the breakers have gone back to work, but the problem will re-emerge later in the autumn when, no doubt, Baroness Young can write another soothing letter to The Times.

It's got to be tough for Brian and Dan when a lot of people who are there are shouting for the songs they do with their regular bands, but man, they're both so funny and lovely. In fact, everyone one the Revival Tour is funny and lovely. And talented. And aces.

LAWRENCEVILLE — A fire at a Lawrenceville recycling center Tuesday afternoon was contained quickly and emergency personnel are not worried about potential chemical runoff, officials said.Gwinnett firefighters responded to SP Recycling Corporation on Maltbie Street just after 3:15 p.m. Tuesday, a blaze having broken out inside one of its open-air warehouse structures. They found heavy involvement at the private company that deals mostly with newspapers and other paper products, fire department spokesman Capt. Tommy Rutledge said, but exposure to hazardous materials did not appear to be a risk. "There was some concern early on with any contaminated runoff from the water we were flowing onto the fire, but according to the hazmat team that does not appear to be an issue," Rutledge said. "So we're safe there." The call came in when one employee in a nearby office noticed flames emanating from the hopper, which handles the raw materials and processing step of the recycling process. Thanks to a sprinkler system, the fire was contained primarily to that hopper and a Dumpster. The exact cause was undetermined Tuesday, Rutledge said. No injuries were reported. "Even though we had heavy involvement when we got here, it was contained to the hopper," Rutledge said. "The sprinkler kept it from spreading to the main part of the building." After the majority of the fire was knocked down, crews began the hours-long overhaul process, tearing the Dumpster and hopper out to make sure it was completely extinguished. Chemicals and dangerous materials weren't a factor this time, but emergency personnel were better safe than sorry, Rutledge said. "Any time there's a fire at a recycling center, we always dispatch hazmat on the initial alarm," he said, "just because you don't really know what kind of materials you'll be dealing with."

Sample Report
Though Sam Francis developed paintings of monumental scale with all-over patterns of monochrome color just a few years after the initial triumph of the Abstract-Expressionists, he did so in Paris. During his eight years there, he evolved as one of the most masterful painters of the 20th century, but being away from New York undermined the critical reception for his work. In the years since, the writing and scholarship has rarely measured up to his stature. That begins to change with the recent University of California Press publication of Sam Francis: Catalogue Raisonné of Canvas and Panel Paintings, 1946-1994.

While the Cubs/A's trade that featured top Athletics prospects Addison Russell and Billy McKinney as well as established big league pitchers Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel (two of the hottest trade deadline targets) grabbed all the headlines, there was another trade made yesterday that features a prospect or two.
The Arizona Diamondbacks traded left-handed reliever Joe Thatcher and outfielder Tony Campana to the Los Angeles Angels for two prospects, outfielder Zach Borenstein and reliever Joey Krehbiel.
Borenstein, 23, was listed as the Angels #11 consensus prospect going into 2014 after a tremendous 2013 campaign for High-A Inland Empire that saw him named the Angels' Minor League Player of the Year with a .337/.403/.631 triple-slash line.
The Angels' 23rd-round draft pick in 2011 must have benefited from the thin air in the California League, posting career-outlier numbers that he hasn't matched since and he hasn't come close to duplicating his 2013 home run total of 28 dingers in 2013 anywhere else in the Angels' system.
In 48 Double-A Games, Borenstein is hitting .266/.338/.440 with a solid 10.1% walk rate but an extremely elevated 25.6% strikeout rate. He only has five home runs in 207 plate appearances. In 123 Triple-A plate appearances (in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League), Borenstein has fared even worse, hitting .356/.279/.342 with just two home runs, a miniscule 2.4% walk rate and a 26.8% strikeout rate. His BABIP at both levels are above average (.344 in Double-A and .337 in Triple-A) meaning that progression is unlikely without further development of his batting eye and ability to cut down the strikeouts.
Krehbiel, a 6-foot-2 righty, was drafted in the 12th round of the same draft by the Angels coming out of high school. This year, in his second pitching in full-season ball, Krehbiel has posted excellent numbers for the Angels' affiliates in Class-A Burlington and (in a small sample size) in High-A Inland Empire. Beyond the Box Score's consensus ranking system had Krehbiel as the 42nd-ranked Angels prospect going into 2013.
Krehbiel, 21, is said to have a low-to-mid-90s fastball with a good changeup and a developing breaking ball. Taylor Ward, publisher and editor of angels.scout.com, quoted a broadcaster from the Midwest League as saying,"Out of everyone that came through Burlington this season, Krehbiel is definitely the guy that will make the Majors."
Neither prospect is in the same league as either Russell or McKinney but both could have something to offer their new team, the Arizona Diamondbacks.

New mother and sleepy? Avoid work for now
Are you a new mother and cannot figure out why you are still sleepy and tired at work even four months after birth? Get your maternal leave extended to catch some sleep.
A new study finds one in two new mothers is excessively sleepy four months after giving birth, urging new mums to be cautious about returning to work too quickly.
"Sleep disruption strongly influences daytime function with sleepiness recognised as a risk-factor for people performing critical and dangerous tasks," said Ashleigh Filtness from Queensland University of Technology's Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety - Queensland (CARRS-Q).
Filtness studied the sleep patterns and tiredness of postpartum mums and found that despite new mums recording stable night sleep times at 18 weeks, they continued to report being excessively tired.
The study followed 33 healthy new mums who recorded their postpartum sleep patterns in 15 minute increments during weeks 6, 12 and 18.
"This brings into question whether four months' leave is sufficient to ensure that daytime sleepiness has dimished to a manageable level before returning to work," she added.
With the birth of every baby, the new mother must adjust to the demands of parenting and one aspect of that is to remain functional while experiencing potentially severe sleep disruption.
"What we found was that inevitably, new mothers will wake in the night to attend to their infant and the number of times they wake remains consistent during the first 18 postpartum weeks," Filtness added.
Soon-to-be mums should be aware of the importance of their own sleep and consider how they are going to preserve their own sleep during the first few months of caring for a baby, researchers advised in the study published in the journal PLoS One.

Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (OUSD[AT&L]). The MDA uses a number of tools that have been developed over time, including the following:
• The WILMA-Suite is an end-to-end modeling and analysis suite for BMDS concept exploration used to predict the performance of missile defense architectures. WILMA is a medium-fidelity end-to-end simulation evaluation of missile defense architecture effectiveness, with consideration for battle planning, communications, and integration alternatives. WILMA may also be run in a higher-fidelity mode, used in conjunction with other in-depth element, engineering, environment, phenomenology, and threat models to make detailed assessments of missile defense system performance against adversary ballistic missile attacks.
• The SPET models space-sensor architecture performance, including multi-target tracking, scheduling, and handling association errors. SPET provides ground-, air-, and space-infrared (IR)/visible-sensor system performance against missile threat scenarios; the tool provides target signatures, coverage analysis, position and velocity tracking accuracy distributions, and interceptor effectiveness.
• SYSSIM (System Simulation) also models space-sensor architecture performance and includes interceptor flyouts (surface- or air-based). SYSSIM models the interceptor's kinematic flyout or reach and also the probability of kill (Pk) of the engagement. SYSSIM provides engagement time lines and Pk as a function of space-/air-/ground-sensor tracking accuracy.
Observations and Attributes
Although the MDA process described above is specific to MDA requirements, it necessarily considers intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) architectural assets (particularly communications and PCPAD/TCPED [planning and direction, collection, processing and exploitation, analysis and production, and dissemination/tasking, collecting, processing, exploiting, and disseminating]) in order to deliver required capability. The MDA is exempt from the JCIDS process, which streamlines decision time lines somewhat and has fostered the development of a set of analysis tools that continue to evolve.
The Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) Office was established (1) to contribute to the development of low-cost, rapid-reaction payloads, buses, spacelift, and launch-control capabilities in order to fulfill Joint military operational requirements for on-demand support and reconstitution; and (2) to coordinate and

Sponsored by John Ford Realty
137 Charles Street, Boston
151 Tremont Street
So, the Boston Business Journal ran a story in their weekly print edition about how difficult it is to find a home in a new condo development in downtown Boston for under $500,000.
Set out on a condo-shopping trip in Boston with $500,000 to spend and it takes only minutes to discover that a half-million dollars does not go far, especially for new construction.
In some of the most competitive Boston neighborhoods, $500,000 may not even buy a brand-new studio.
Real estate brokers can point easily to half-million dollar resale units but have to scour listings to find anything available in new construction projects. Facing high costs for land and buildings, developers are in no position to offer bargains.
This is true. Pretty much, anything for sale these days is going to run you more than half a million dollars.
The article offers up a couple of "deals". The Modern, in the South End, has at least one unit available for under $500k; the property suffers only because it's on the "other side" of Massachusetts Avenue, which to some people might as well be located in France.
I had to laugh when I read this part:
So what is out there for the $500,000 shopper seeking new construction? The FP3 project in the Fort Point neighborhood is a place to start. FP3, scheduled for completion in 2008, has Unit 317 listing for $482,000.
The 744-square-foot unit features one bedroom, 1 1/2 baths, high loft ceilings, hardwood floors, a shared roof deck and plans for three restaurants operated by celebrity chef Barbara Lynch.
Sounds wonderful. Of course, it's the ONLY unit in the building for under $500,000 – the rest start in the mid-to-upper $600,000 range.
Not that it's uncommon for a developer to pull that sort of trick.
Anyway, that's about the story. If you want brand-new construction, you'll be paying for it.
But, do you really want to buy your next home in a brand new development?
Wait, let's ask the people who put down 5-10% on their units at NorthPoint.
Thanks to Steve W for sending me the article.

The Quest for Answers - Week of May 26
Why was Elijah afraid after his great victory?
Verse: 1 Kings 19:3-5
Even individuals of great courage and conviction have moments when they feel discouraged. After the euphoric victory on Mount Carmel, it seems that Elijah's emotions fell. He was not indestructible. He had human weaknesses. "Elijah was a human being just like us" (Jas 5:17).
We might think that in the rush of victory, Elijah would have felt invincible. Instead, it seems, he felt exhausted. We might think Elijah would have welcomed Jezebel's challenge as an opportunity to attack his enemy at its source. Instead, he retreated.
It may be that Elijah was facing a personal crisis of faith, identity and vision. Now that he had won his lifelong battle against the prophets of Baal, why was his life still in danger? Didn't he deserve a little rest? Hadn't he earned the right to retire in peace? Sometimes the thought of another battle, after just finishing one, is overwhelming.
We can only speculate about what actually fueled Elijah's fears. But we can readily see that he was human. God met Elijah in the midst of fear and doubt, giving the frightened prophet comfort and rest.

Batman is handmade in fondant. I do have to add – even though he looks pretty simple – it took me a couple of hours (honestly!!) just to do his face!!! As I wanted him to look real and manly – not cartoonish! Happy with the way he came out – he is about 5 inches tall – so quite big!
Thanks for looking…

"God saw all that God had made, and look! It was very good." We've now explored that verse, from the first chapter of Genesis, twice during these holidays. On Rosh Hashanah, we saw how Rabbis Chaninah and Pinchas made an anagram of the word m'od, "very," and heard in the words an optimistic, positive assessment of adam, humanity. Last night, the sixteenth-century biblical commentator Ovadiah Seforno showed us to another understanding, in which the word "very" indicates that the whole of Creation is so much greater than the sum of its parts.
And now it is Yizkor time, and our thoughts turn to family and friends who have died. Can we say, even now, that God sees the fullness of Creation as very good? What of the heaviness in our hearts as we remember a beloved, a parent, or God forbid, a child. Is this, too, "very good?" Continue reading
