You laugh now, but there was a time, very recently, when it was a debate. There was a time, when we thought the kid had commandeered the throne. There was a time when, when we thought it was the dawn of one empire, and the dusk of another.

When I wrote about Matt Garza's trade value last month I showed that it's not that high. Aside from the Cubs kicking in some money to cover the rest of his salary this year, the Cubs couldn't expect to get all that much in return. People have consistently told me I'm wrong. Apparently some anonymous GMs were on record (can you really be on record if you're anonymous?) as saying he had more trade value than Cole Hamels or Zack Greinke, both of whom are far better pitchers. The additional year that Garza has beyond this year certainly matters, but I've argued that it's not a cheap year. If Garza were under contract for $12 million next year I've wondered if people would feel the same way. He is essentially under contract for $12 million next year because that's what he'll likely receive in arbitration.
So why is Matt Garza worth more than I think? The first reason I can come up with is that he's pitched in the AL East. From 2008 through 2010 Garza threw nearly 600 innings for the Rays and he allowed under a hit per inning, just over 3 walks per 9 and struckout enough to have a K/BB of about 2.3. His ERA was 3.86 and his ERA+ 109. Neither of those numbers are fantastic by any means, but an ERA 9% better than league average in that division is probably better anywhere else. He was an above average pitcher in the best division in baseball.
A lot of teams in the AL East wonder how a pitcher will do when he comes into that division. It's something the Red Sox and Yankees have concerned themselves with for a long time. They don't have to worry about that with Matt Garza. He's been there and done that.
There are no games that have a higher stress level than those in the playoffs. Garza reached the postseason in 2008 and 2010. In 2008 the Rays went to the World Series. In all, Garza made 5 postseason starts and threw the ball quite well against the league's best teams. He has a career postseason ERA of 3.48.
Garza is still just 28 years old. A player's peak is typically between the ages of 26 and 28 so Garza is right there. A team could realistically expect Garza to be as good or better than he's been in his career.
Although it's not a cheap 2013, he does have more than one year remaining before he can file for free agency. That year is likely to provide value above what a team may think they can get on the free agent market for the same cost. It also gives the team some time to explore a long-term contract with Garza, which would give them a team friendly contract for several years.
Overall, teams may look at Garza and believe he's more valuable because of the experience in the AL East, the postseason, his age and his contract. These have nothing to do with what we typically use to assign value, but it's entirely possible this is why Garza might be more valuable than the numbers show.

On Wednesday, board members contended the decision to move the millage back was a "political move," and not the most "fiscally responsible" decision. They discussed the tough choice with almost 100 community members for about two hours.
"This will cost you more money in the long run, but we're elected by the people to represent the people, and this is what they want," board president Matt Kosior said. "What you're asking us to do is a very difficult decision."
The 3.2 mills was a "comfortable amount" to move, leaving some funds available to repay a district loan to conduct a new building study, Kosior said.
Moving the millage back will return about $1.4 million to the district's general operating fund each year, superintendent Jim Gunner said. The district will receive about half that amount in the current school year, with the first payment collected in February.
To pursue future building projects and maintain operating funds, voters will still likely need to approve several tax levies or bond issues.
"This is not a long-term solution," Kosior said.
Board members haven't determined what they will do with the new operating funds this spring, but it's possible they could restore some recently cut faculty members or reduce the district's costly pay-to-participate fees.
Prior to Wednesday's move, Perkins Schools faced a dire financial dilemma, with only an estimated $23,500 in reserve cash left at the end of the current school year, according to a five-year financial forecast. Its budget is about $21 million a year.
Voters rejected a 10-year, 6.73-mill levy proposal last week, with 61 percent voting against it, according to unofficial election results.
The millage move and the series of failed levy attempts effectively divided the Perkins Schools community, pitting levy supporters and opposers against each other in heated debates.
During Wednesday's meeting, however, about a dozen individuals on both sides of the issue discussed their views, with most agreeing on at least one thing: the enlightening conversation was long overdue.
"This is the best meeting and back-and-forth dialogue we've had in the two years I've been on the board," board member Brad Mitchel said.
Board members cleared up some misunderstandings Wednesday, such as the notion taxpayers voted to create the "inside millage" funds, when the state actually established them in the 1930s for districts to use as they pleased.
Community members Bob Weichel and J Franklin, who voted against the Nov. 5 levy, said Wednesday's move and conversation was the best way to restore taxpayer trust in the district moving forward.
"Until we stop fighting and labeling each other, nothing good is going to happen," Weichel said. "This will restore our trust in you. It's a step in the right direction."
The millage move was not initially listed on the agenda for Wednesday's meeting. Board members amended the agenda following a two-hour closed-door meeting to discuss personnel. A closed-door meeting also followed the regular meeting, with no action taking place afterward.

Here is Instructables on how to build a walker with only one motor! This design is base
on the principal of B.E.A.M robotics! Building simple and elegant robot inspired by insect.
This robot was build back in 2000 and want to show you how to build it.
Beware this is a complex project!
This project incorporate two more instructables
How to modify a servo motors.
How to make the bicore circuit.
( I still did not learn with those truncated title :P )
Here are the 3 most important steps in this Instructables
step 1 - Read carefully!
step 2 - Read again before asking questions, check the comments!
step 3 - Did you read? if not goto step 1
PS- My instructables don't even contain a lot of text! Just pictures! :)
To be able to make this robot you need skills.
You will need to solder electronics components.
Gareth Branwyn once contacted me to make a article in his book about my one motor walker.
The chapter is online. This is worth reading in parallel while making the robot.
Solarbotics made your life easy by making custom bundle for you!
I don't think there is a big gear is in there. Be careful.
If you never build a robot and want to tackle the one motor walker, I suggest you try the beetle robot.
Good luck!
Don't forget to check my website to see my latest projects!
My mother's one has failed.....................
well i liked ur robot.
Also i have the same problem as u have that it tends to rotate to one side more than the other.
so how did u manage to make it almost perfect synchronism.
I think you might as well check for capacitor connections you cannot get it perfectly stable so the best idea is to uses a spring or rubber band as jerome told .i found that it really helps. also found that a little left or right movement doesn't affect much of the walking gate. you can use a nail or a paperclip to stop excess movement most beam bots have these springs attached to them both my robots use a spring mechanism the last picture is of mark tilden's famous spyder which also has the springs built in. to give suspension and a controlled step
Can i add another gear at the front to give it an extra pair of legs . will the torque over the gear decrease even if i keep the gear ratio 1:1 ?
can you please tell me where can i find a bicore circuit...
checked many shops cldnt get it..
is it available in any toy which i can dismantle and take from.
and powered it but the motor is still rottatting in 1 direction..
is it supposed to be like this or..
does the bicore automaticaly after certain rotation change the direction of the motor to opposite direction..
thank you...
what exxactly is the role of bicore....
i got the ic 74hct240.
What i was wondering is that does this ic require any sort of programming or is it pre programed..
I checked your blog out !! Models look amazing !!
thanks fr your help again !! :)
if we see the video it goes both clockwise nd anti..
but if we modify wont it give continous..???

Energy Department Projects Win 38 R&D 100 Awards for 2013
July 17, 2013
The Energy Department's national laboratories have been recognized by R&D Magazine with 38 R&D 100 Awards for the most outstanding technology developments with promising commercial potential. The Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) supported a range of innovations, in the fields of battery technology, biofuels, fuel cells, and solar energy.
Now in their 51st year, the awards are presented annually in recognition of exceptional new products, processes, materials, or software that were developed throughout the world and introduced into the market the previous year. The R&D 100 Awards are selected by a panel of independent judges based on technical significance, uniqueness, and usefulness of projects and technologies from across industry, government, and academia. View the complete list of R&D 100 Awards.
In the bioenergy field, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) won an award for a high-throughput, high-speed chemical screening tool that is 100 times faster than conventional methods to support the development of lignocellulosic biofuels. Another LBNL award winner was the bacteriophage power generator, which provides power using harmless viruses that convert mechanical energy into electricity, to create a sustainable energy source for electronics and microdevices.
Solar energy innovations that received an R&D 100 Award include contributions by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to the innovative cell architecture from TetraSun, now a division of First Solar, Inc. The company has developed the architecture which allows for a greater percentage of incoming sunlight to be converted to electricity. Also, LBNL won an award for its universal smart window coating technology that enables dynamic control over how much of the sun's heat and light enters a building through its windows. And Sandia National Laboratories' web-based tool addresses new federal guidelines requiring quantified assessments of glare from proposed solar installations by predicting a proposed array's annual energy production and evaluating alternative designs, layouts, and locations.
Among projects impacting energy efficiency, LBNL was honored for its conducting polymer binder, a new material for use in rechargeable batteries that can boost power storage capacity by 30%. And the Isothermal Battery Calorimeters, developed by NREL and NETZSCH, are the only calorimeters in the world capable of performing the precise thermal measurements needed to make safer, longer-lasting and more cost-effective lithium-ion batteries. Additionally, Point Source Power and LBNL won an award for the company's Voto device, which is based on a solid oxide fuel cell that is powered by burning charcoal, wood, or other types of biomass in order to charge the attached to circuitry in the handle. The handle, which contains an LED bulb, can then be detached and used for lighting or to charge a phone.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) was also recognized for three EERE-funded projects. The ClimateMaster Trilogy 40 Q-Mode Geothermal Heat Pump, developed by ClimateMaster and ORNL, uses the earth as its heat source and sink (absorber). The Da Vinci Fuel-in-Oil Measurement System, developed by Da Vinci Emissions Services Ltd., Cummins Inc., and an ORNL team, uses a fiber optic probe to obtain real-time measurements of oil in an operating engine to quantify the fuel dissolved in the lubricant oil. Finally, the SYMMETRIX HPX-F Nanocomposite Separator for Improved Lithium Ion Battery, jointly developed by Porous Power Technologies LLC and ORNL, lowers lithium ion battery costs and improves safety through the replacement of polymer separators with lower-cost ceramics and mineral fillers, a breakthrough membrane technology that could improve electric vehicles and grid storage.
Technologies which can help improve building efficiency that won an R&D 100 Award include Sandia National Laboratories' membrane projection lithography, a fabrication technique that enables the creation of a diverse array of microscopic 3-D structures with macroscopic impact. Currently, the technique is being licensed to make thermal antennas that can control the direction of heat emitted from an object, potentially easing cooling and heating needs for satellites or perhaps even buildings and cars. Also boosting energy efficiency is NREL's image processing occupancy sensor (IPOS), which hangs from ceilings in office buildings and retail stores, combining an inexpensive camera with computer vision algorithms that recognize the presence of human occupants. IPOS raises the accuracy of occupancy detection from about 75% to the upper 90% range, helping to achieve greater energy savings.
Since 1963, when R&D Magazine's annual competition began, national laboratories have received more than 800 R&D 100 Awards in areas such as energy, national security, and basic scientific applications. See press releases from R&D Magazine, LBNL, NREL, ORNL, and Sandia.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The budget storms assailing the Pentagon are unprecedented, the Defense Department's chief financial officer said in Washington, D.C.
"I've never seen anything like this," Pentagon Comptroller Robert F. Hale told an audience attending the 2013 Defense Communities National Summit, "and I hope we never see it again."
Hale asked attendees how many of them had seen serious effects from sequestration defense spending cuts at their home installations and dozens of hands went up around the room.
Hale said the across-the-board cuts, costs for the war in Afghanistan that were higher than expected and continuing resolutions that have in recent years replaced approved budgets have left Pentagon planners unable to make long-term course corrections.
Remaining shortfalls in fiscal year 2013 clearly show "we haven't fully landed this plane," Hale acknowledged and he warned that 2014 and 2015 could be just as bad.
Cuts to training and maintenance this year will result in future "get-well" costs as the services clear backlogs and retrain members, Hale noted. If Congress passes a budget this year, he added, he's confident defense programs will be funded near the levels President Barack Obama requested. If a continuing resolution again takes the place of an approved budget, however, "we would face the get-well costs without the resources to get well," the comptroller said.
Defense officials, including Hale, have maintained repeatedly that they can save greatly in the long term if Congress allows them to close excess facilities and the budget request this year again asks for a round of base realignments and closures, Hale noted.
Studies have shown DOD has 25 percent too much infrastructure, all of which is expensive to maintain and operate, the comptroller said. He added that while it is a "significant understatement" to say Congress is reluctant to approve base closures, previous Base Realignment and Closure rounds resulted in ongoing savings of $12 billion per year. Consolidating or closing underused military facilities will be essential to the department's future financial health, he added.
"We need the help of the United States Congress. The BRAC is an obvious example," he said, but it's not the only area in which the Pentagon needs Congress to act.
"We need their permission to retire lower-priority weapons and slow the growth in military pay and benefits," he said, noting "uniform agreement" among the Joint Chiefs of Staff that the department must contain personnel costs.
Hale said results from Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel's strategic choices in management review — which has been completed and is now being studied at the Pentagon's highest levels — will guide spending decisions in the coming years.
Sequestration has been and remains a painful experience, Hale said, but he added that defense managers are learning to identify lower-priority initiatives as cuts increase.
"Some of those decisions shouldn't be reversed.. As we recover from this long disease called sequestration, I hope we can benefit just a little bit from the cure," he said.

Mighty Mouse "Frankenstein's Cat", painting is gorgeous
Just saw this on YouTube and got reminded of how gorgeous the backrounds are in this short as well as some of the painting. I would love to see clear prints of these toons. Those skies are reminiscent of those Fleischer toons and Disney toons. I wonder where the original art is.
Re: Mighty Mouse "Frankenstein's Cat", painting is gorgeous
Boy, that is vintage Mighty Mouse. I think that's the second MM cartoon produced going all the way back to 1942.
Here's the first one. He was originally called Super Mouse, and his name was changed a little later, and for the better I might add. He's called Mighty Mouse in this cartoon cuz it was dubbed over later on from what I understand.

Re: Mighty Mouse "Frankenstein's Cat", painting is gorgeous
Here's another Mighty Mouse cartoon that has exceptionally well painted backgrounds, right from the start of the film. It's from 1951 and you can see how much the character appeal of MM developed since the first ones were produced 9 years earlier.

I personally would build 3 carts, 1 for mig, 1 for stick/tig, 1 for oxy/acet, and plasma just lays around. The reason for 3 carts is that every process is separated, and every welding process currently has only 1 bottle. This just makes it easier if you want to do multiple things or if you are welding on things in tight areas.
A big thing about having 4 bottles and 4 outfits so close to each other is that more things together, more things to go wrong. Examples are more bottle to worry about, grinding dust in all machines, more cables/wires in the way, more consumables getting dirty.
I don't know what machines you have but a cart can be as simple as a hand cart with a shelf at the top for the welder and a smaller bottle can fit underneath.

The Freedom One Pro is one of the first next generation Tusa Masks offering this innovative new technology combined with Superior Design, Build Quality, Materials and Frame Construction. Freedom Model Masks feature a Dimpled Skirt Surface with Varied Silicone Thicknesses and Stability Ridges in addition to a Proprietary Low-Friction Double Feathered Edge Skirt Surface on the Fitting Line.
The Quick-Adjust Buckle System incorporates a newly-designed Low-Profile Buckle into the Clear or Black Silicone Rubber Skirt of the Mask. The result is a Compact, Lightweight, and Technologically Advanced Mask Design that can be Easily-and-Quickly adjusted for a Perfect Fit. Tusa's Round Edge Skirt features a proprietary round edge cross-sectionally shaped skirt. This rounded edge results in a Soft Fit that Suppresses Pressure and Reduces Creasing left on the face. The "Planar Fit, instead of Linear Fit" silicone skirt maintains great fit and unprecedented comfort, you won't have Ring-Around-the-Eyeballs" like with other masks.
Tusa's Patented 3-D Wide Split Strap is a true Three-Dimensional Design that Snugly Fits against the Head's Natural Curvature. The 3-D Strap offers Unprecedented Comfort and Fit unlike standard flat mask straps. The Freedom One Pro Mask Lenses are Tempered CrystalView Optical Glass that provides Superior Clarity, Color and Transmission of Light over standard glass lenses used by the competition. Up to 15% of available light can be lost with a standard glass lens due to impurities and reflectivity. Tusa's CrystalView lenses transmit 92% of available light to the diver for Clear Crisp Vision.
The Freedom One Pro also has UV and Anti-Reflective (A/R) Treated Lenses. Increased exposure to UV light can damage the eyes especially in marine environments where reflectivity is high.

Comments about Tusa Freedom One Mask:
finding a mask that fits and doesnt leak can be a daunting task. so after having my previous mask for over 10 years, i thought it was finally time for a new one. i tried on a few different masks and this felt the best...on land. i was pleased to find that after a little fine tuning underwater, the mask fits comfortably with little to no leaking.

Comments about Tusa Freedom One Mask:
I bought this mask to get open water certified. Every single time I have dived it has fogged. I have cleaned it, used the defogger and every other method possible and no one can figure out why this thing still fogs. It also leaks slowly and I continually finding myself having to clear this mask. I love the shape and style of it but I can't wait to replace it!

Comments about Tusa Freedom One Mask:
I have worn many Tusa masks in the past so purchased this one as the promo for this mask promised a good fit. However, the mask leaked, fogged and in general a poor fit. I was disappointed as Tuse products in the past have worked for me. I returned it to LeisurePro with no problems.

Comments about Tusa Freedom One Mask:
I purchased a Tusa Freedom One Mask for me and a Scuba Pro Spectra TRUFIT mask for my Fiancé. After reading the reviews and looking at their websites, I thought they would be very similar. We used them to get open water certified. The Freedom One mask leaked on me the first 2 days continually. The third day we switched masks. The Spectra TRUFIT did not leak at all. At the end of the third day my Fiancé wanted her mask back because the Tusa mask leaked on her as well. We both had problems around the nose. I order another Scuba Pro Spectra TRUFIT for myself and could not be happier.

Red Bull may not have set the timesheets alight so far, but Sebastian Vettel is convinced they are in much better condition than they were last year...
Red Bull may not have set the timesheets alight so far in pre-season, but Sebastian Vettel is convinced they are in much better condition than they were a year ago.
Vettel finished fourth fastest on day one of the second test in Barcelona on Tuesday with Nico Rosberg, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso completing the top three.
However, the reigning World Champion says the Milton Keynes squad are "not bothered" by what their rivals are doing this early in the season.
"This circuit has always been a good indicator of whether you have a good car or not," Vettel said, "but at this stage it's still very difficult to judge what we do compared to the rest.
"To be honest we're not that bothered. We have plenty of stuff going on in our garage."
Red Bull didn't make the best of starts to the 2012 season, but they continued to develop the RB8 and the German eventually won the Championship by the narrowest of margins.
In the words of team principal Christian Horner this year's RB9 is "very much an evolutionary car", and Vettel feels they are doing much better this year.
"What we have here is more or less the car we had in Brazil, just another step forward," he explained.
"I think we improved the car a lot last season though so I'm much happier this year here than I was last time.
"We have done a lot of improvements so you cannot compare to the car we had one year ago.
"I think we have been in good shape today. I'm quite happy with the car and the balance, and quite a bit happier than how we started last year."

Don Beck (Spiral Dynamics) talks about the problems we try to solve only to find a new set of problems created by each new set of solutions. While his preoccupation is primarily cultural (having inspired Nelson Mandela himself, see the film Invictus for a brilliant account), I can attest that I've had loads of personal experience along these same lines.
I escaped the chaos and disconnect of urban life to discover isolation of an entirely different sort with rural life and solved that with a deeper connection to nature and spirituality only to find those bounties result in a new set of problems still–of them Spiritual Bypass threatens to be the most serious. That's when you become so good at meditating, praying and living above the problems of the real world that you completely disengage from them and then officially become a member of the Kumbaya Club with whom you may or may not join in singing and dancing at the airport.
But thank the heavens I'm still a long way from that. I'm dealing now with the paradox of abundance, and to make it more paradoxical still, I'm headed soon to the Results Conference in DC to try to help solve the problem of world hunger.
So here I ponder, with piles of tomatoes spanning every countertop and three freezers already full to the brim. Shall I fill every shelf with canned surplus too? Should I waste the hours and gas to take the surplus to the Food Bank though my eyes have told me these folks are far from hungry? Which should I heed-my moral impulse, which stands firm against donating to those not actually in need-or my practical impulse, which is damn sick of seeing tomatoes?
There's another problem with taking the surplus to the Food Bank to give away to folks who can clearly afford to shop, and that is, what about the local farmers? Don't I have a responsibility to them too? They're spending a lot of time and energy to sell their produce, so how does me giving mine away serve them at all? It doesn't, of course, it most likely hinders their potential sales!
Which brings me to another paradoxical set of problems and solutions: ObamaCare. One of my oldest and dearest friends and I recently had a brief debate on the topic when he promptly concluded we must "agree to disagree." Not my strong suit, as he well knows. I prefer the problems solved, so I have the mental energy and space to move on to the next set of problems.
But ObamaCare and the arguments, especially here in Texas, just seem to go round and round. On the one hand, as a highly sensitive and compassionate individual who loves Europe to a fault, I think universal health care sounds just peachy. I believe folks should not be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. I think health insurance should be affordable to everyone. Not to mention that I like immigrants, they spice up my life and my cuisine, so I'd like to see them feel safe and healthy here. Even the illegal ones! Also, I have issues with hypocrisy, especially my own. I've been illegal in other countries, and my health care was still free or very affordable.
On the other hand, I have issues with paying for my countrymen's addictions to sugar, tobacco, extreme sports, laziness or workaholism. After all, I don't see anyone in this country lining up to subsidize my poor choices. Not to mention, when I get sick, which is extremely rare, I choose the nutritionist or naturopath, chiropractor or acupuncturist. Those are very rarely covered by any insurance. So, from what I understand, which I admit is very little considering the worthless onslaught of mainstream debate, is that not only must I pay for my health insurance, and "theirs," but I still have to pay out of pocket for the kind of care I actually use.
Hmmm, what am I missing here? Might we be trying to solve the wrong set of problems?
I'm open for debate . . .

For All Skin Types
Historical references to Shea butter, a staple of African pharmacology, date back to the reported Shea butter caravans of Cleopatra's Egypt. Shea butter is rich in essential fatty acids which moisturize and soften skin. Frankincense, known for its toning and anti-aging properties, also has aromatherapeutic benefits promoting mental strength, clarity and balance. Myrrh can be dated back to an Ebers papyrus (circa 1580 BC) recipe for a facial mask.

It was a long time coming, but it is great that spring is finally here. A recent highlight you should all be aware of: Bridgeport Hospital was chosen one of the top 100 healthcare employers to work for by Becker's Hospital Review. We are the only organization listed from Connecticut. Becker's specifically mentioned our benefits program for our employees, which includes a generous tuition reimbursement program.
On Thursday, May 2, Yale New Haven Health System held the seventh annual Joseph A. Zaccagnino Patient Safety and Clinical Quality Conference at the Omni Hotel in New Haven with over 650 attending. There were over 100 performance improvement poster presentations (23 from Bridgeport Hospital), oral presentations from the winning projects at each hospital and one from Northeast Medical Group.The winning entry from Bridgeport Hospital was for the work done by the Stroke Team, including the Pharmacy, to decrease the door to- needle time for tPA for stroke patients to a median of less than 60 minutes. We are very proud of the work done by Phil Barasch, MD, Kellie Geanuracos, RN, Mike Werdmann, MD, and the other team members.
Two other Bridgeport Hospital teams received honorable mentions at the conference for the initiatives "Emergency Department to Floor Handoff" and "Promoting Patient Safety through Increased Medication Error Reporting: A Shared Governance Council & Multidisciplinary Team Approach."
Keynote speaker was John Kenagy, MD, who spoke on transforming the healthcare industry. He drew parallels with the automobile industry and the information technology sector. Some changes are massive revolutions in how work is done. I'm not sure how you become the iPhone of the healthcare sector. But, I believe we are much closer to being the Toyota of hospitals than many of our competitors.
We have made small changes in how we work every week for years. Consequently we are very lean and efficient for a hospital. The numbers tell us that we are in the top 10 percent in efficiency in almost every area of the hospital. That's great, but as Dr. Kenagy pointed out, the speed of the transformation is going to demand that we continue to change and innovate at an ever-increasing pace. While the hospital staff continues to change their workflow whenever possible to become leaner and more efficient, to truly position ourselves for success they increasingly need to involve you in the changes. Please help us and yourselves as we innovate now and in the years to come. It is the best way for you to have a role in developing a hospital that becomes better at meeting your needs and your patients' needs in an increasingly difficult financial environment.
Michael Ivy, MD,Chief Medical Officer

Manchester v Cancer
So there I was queuing up at 5.30pm expecting the doors to open like the dozens of other people freezing their rollocks off, but no, that would be too easy, instead the doors opened at 6.05pm and that was only to allow us into the refreshment area. Refreshments that through forward planning I had already purchased beforehand to save going back and too once I was in the gig, but yet again that would be too straightforward, instead they were confiscated upon entering, two bottles of water ceremoniously ditched into a clear plastic bag along with other dangerous substances like coke and fanta.
Wait a minute is this supposed to a Manchester v CANCER event, should they not have instead been confiscating the hundreds of cancer causing cigarettes on entering. The very cigarettes that I had to breathe in from people around me during the whole 5 hours of the concert. Hypocritical in the extreme.
So the doors did finally open to allow us into the arena at 6.45pm. Bez starting off with his Domino Bones, with Shaun Ryder mocking the crowd at the side, followed by Utah Saints. It was then 808s turn to impress.
The gig was being filmed by every camera under the sun, a really professional approach, from swing cameras on beams jetting across the audience heads to two cameras in front of the stage crisscrossing on rails. An obvious future DVD release.
So there was no room for errors, no double takes, it required a highly polished performance to have any chance of being added onto the disc, and that's what we got.
In fact too highly polished, gone was the drummer, Paddy being the only extra addition. The opener Pacific having Graham on his clarinet sounding that good he must play bagpipes in his spare time. In fact that good he almost had us believing he was miming.
Darren then introduced Nicky on stage for The Only Rhyme that Bites with the backwall display showing his every move while final track Cubik had everyone doing the mental rounds.
The arena was still only half full at this time, and even towards the end a lot of upper tiers had clearly not sold.
The graphics behind 808 were the only mishap in their performance as it showed the Pacific video when they were playing Cubik, no doubt the aztec statue montage should have accompanied Cubik instead of Pacific.
And that was that, no fancy light displays, no lasers, just a well polished warm up routine for the other acts to follow, and indeed they did follow with Nine Black Alps finally making use of the pyrotechnics available with the first of the extended performances.
Johnny Marr was my personal fave, and New Order took us back in time with an entire Joy Division set. It was then that most of the artists came on stage dragging along Shaun Ryder in boyz of the hood mode to sing us out with a Mondays routine.
808 are clearly not a 3 track band. Give them the time, the pyrotechnics and a defined crowd they are unrivalled. Tonight wasn't about upstaging other acts, they all gave their time and support for a common cause and that was the highlight of the night.

Amid the glittering skyscrapers of Doha, capital of the arid, oil-rich Arab emirate of Qatar, 17,000 diplomats, delegates, nongovernmental organizations, and environmentalists are converging this week and next in the conference halls and backrooms of the 18th annual United Nations climate-change summit. Their goal: pave the way toward a world treaty, to be signed in 2015, aimed at slowing global emissions of heat-trapping fossil-fuel pollution enough to keep the planet's temperature from rising by 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit).
That's the point, scientists say, at which the Earth's polar ice sheets will melt and many of the hottest and driest regions will no longer be able to grow food. The 2-degree mark will set off a chain of extreme reactions, starting with rapid sea-level rise, widespread flooding, more extreme weather events, food shortages, and price spikes.
But no matter what the diplomats in Doha decide over the next week, it now appears inevitable that the world will indeed hit that 2-degree mark and could well shoot past it to average global increases of 4 degrees or 6 degrees—points at which scientists predict even worse catastrophes.
A scientific study published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change concluded that the world's rapid increase in fossil fuel emissions now makes a global average temperature increase of 2 degrees Celsius all but inevitable. A report released last week by the U.N. Environment Program concluded that given the rapid projected increase in pollution from burning coal, oil, and gas around the world, nations' current pledges to cut carbon emissions won't be enough to stave off that 2-degree rise sometime before the end of the century.
Moreover, a November report from the International Energy Agency found that if action isn't taken to significantly cut carbon emissions by 2017, the existing power plants, factories, and buildings will be enough to push temperatures past the 2-degree mark. Yet another sobering report last month from the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers warned that the only way the world can prevent the 2-degree rise is if the global economy cuts its carbon intensity by 5.1 percent every year from now to 2050, essentially slamming the brakes on growth starting right now—and keeping the freeze on for 37 years.
Nobody expects that to happen. And even while the U.N. climate-change process is working toward a 2015 global deal in which the world's biggest polluters agree to cut their carbon pollution, the terms of the agreement won't be enforced until 2020. That means countries won't even be required to start cutting their emissions for another eight years.
"The necessary rate of decarbonization is so high that it's never been seen before, never been done before," said Jonathan Grant, author of the PricewaterhouseCoopers report. "And the level of ambition that we're seeing at Doha is far below what is required to stick to 2 degrees."
So what needs to happen? Nations must begin to prepare now for the effects of a 2-degree temperature increase. In the U.S., that means starting immediately to plan and build for the inevitable consequences of more-destructive storms and rising sea levels, particularly in coastal cities such as New Orleans; Norfolk, Va.; and, as superstorm Sandy so frighteningly illustrated, New York. Those preparations are going to cost taxpayers a lot of money.
"When it comes to the worst-case scenarios of sea-level rise, I'm not sure $100 billion will even scratch the surface," said Brian Murray, director of economic analysis at Duke University's Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions.
It also means that nations—first and foremost, the world's two biggest polluters, the United States and China—must develop real, enforceable, and aggressive policies to cut their own carbon emissions, with or without a global agreement. Scientists say that once the world hits that 2-degree mark, the urgency of reducing carbon pollution to avoid a catastrophic tipping point becomes even greater.
Michael Oppenheimer, a professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton University and a member of the Nobel Prize-winning U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, says that a 2-degree rise is not itself that point, but rather the beginning of irreversible changes. "It starts to speed you toward a tipping point," he said. "It's driving toward a cliff at night with the headlights off. We don't know when we'll hit that cliff, but after 2 degrees, we're going faster, we have less control. After 3, 4, 5 degrees, you spiral out of control, you have even more irreversible change. At this point, with prompt action to reduce emissions, we can still keep it from getting totally out of control."
When it comes to global climate-change treaties, the U.S. has already cried wolf twice on the world stage. In 1997, Vice President Al Gore urged the rest of the world to sign on to the landmark Kyoto Protocol, but the Senate refused to go along. At the 2009 U.N. climate-change summit in Copenhagen, President Obama took on the same role, urging China and other nations to sign pledges to cut carbon emissions, assuring the world that Congress would soon pass a cap-and-trade bill to cut U.S. carbon emissions. Six months later, the bill died in the Senate.
In December 2015, when it comes time to forge a binding global agreement that could keep the world from heading off a climate cliff, Obama won't be able to face his counterparts on the world stage with just a promise of what's to come. To get the world's other major polluters to agree to cut the carbon pollution that threatens U.S. coastal cities, he'll need to have a new U.S. climate law in hand.
"It would be very easy, in 2015, for the Obama administration to appear to demonstrate international leadership by agreeing to sign on to something that it knows can't get ratified by the Senate," said Robert Stavins, director of the environmental economics program at Harvard University. "But the only way this time will be different is if there's an agreement that says the U.S. is committing to action on what it's already done."

Governments at both ends of the migration cycle increasingly recognize the value that diaspora populations bring to development efforts and are seeking ways to magnify the human capital and financial resources that emigrants and their descendants contribute to development in their countries of origin. Beyond the remittances they generate, diaspora members fulfill a key development role in their countries of origin: as major direct investors in critical and emerging industries, generous philanthropists and first movers in the growth of important sectors such as tourism, and in the development of human capital.

Cis B. Golder Quality of Life Grant
Living Beyond Breast Cancer, in partnership with Bringing Hope Home, seeks applicants for the Cis B. Golder Quality of Life Grant, a program that provides small grants to women affected by breast cancer in the Philadelphia area.
Grants will be awarded to help with immediate financial needs and support a good quality of life. To ensure we reach as many women as possible, we will award grants one time only to individuals in need. Priority will be given to women in active breast cancer treatment or who finished treatment in the last year.
About Cis B. Golder
Cis Golder served as a dedicated volunteer for LBBC for more than a decade. She was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer three times. Despite the toll breast cancer took on her life, Cis remained positive and passionate about helping others. She especially cared about women and families without the means to get the help they need during and after breast cancer treatment.
When Cis passed away in May 2006, her family and friends created the grants to carry on Cis's legacy.
Eligibility for the Cis B. Golder Grant
Breast cancer treatment can be very expensive, especially if you have little or no insurance. In addition to visible medical expenses are many "invisible" ones like transportation, loss of income, co-pays and others that put stress on you and your household.
The grant provides financial assistance and support services to women with breast cancer in the Delaware Valley. Grant funds, if awarded, are paid directly to services or vendors. No grant money is given directly to the applicant.
This grant may cover:
- Rent, mortgage or utilities
- Transportation
- Groceries, child care, personal care/needs and respite care
- Wellness promotion services, like nutrition management, physical fitness and physical therapy
- Massage, yoga, acupuncture and other complementary treatments
- Wigs, breast prosthesis and compression garments to treat lymphedema when not covered by insurance
Applying for a Cis B. Golder Grant
Download an overview of the Cis B. Golder Grant
Applications are accepted in March, June, September and December.
You may apply for the grant on your own behalf, or you may ask a relative, friend, healthcare professional or co-worker to nominate you. To apply, you must:
- Be a woman diagnosed with breast cancer (priority will be given to women in active treatment and/or diagnosed within the last year or women living with metastatic breast cancer)
- Be a resident of the Delaware Valley (In Pennsylvania - Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties; In New Jersey - Camden, Burlington and Gloucester counties)
- Complete the application yourself or be nominated by a family member, friend, co-worker or healthcare professional
- Applicant or nominator and their healthcare provider must write a statement (pages 4 and 7) describing the applicant's financial difficulty that is related to their breast cancer experience and the expenses the applicant needs help with
- Have pages 6 and 7 of the application completed by one of your healthcare professionals (physician, social worker, nurse and/or case manager)
- Complete the entire application, including sources of income and expenses
We will make our best effort to review and process all completed applications within 8 to 10 weeks or sooner. We will not accept phone calls about the status of your grant application during the application review period.
How Healthcare Providers Can Help
If you know a woman in the Delaware Valley who could benefit from the Cis B. Golder Quality of Life Grant, we encourage you to nominate her by downloading a copy of the application form. Included on page 5 of the form is a HIPAA authorization to protect the privacy of the woman's healthcare information.
For Further Information
For questions about eligibility or coverage, or if you would like a copy of the application in Spanish, please call Living Beyond Breast Cancer at (610) 645-4567 or e-mail us at email@example.com.

Henrico voters face long lines at precincts
But registrar doesn't expect higher turnout than 2008
UPDATED: 2:30 P.M. – Voting in Henrico County – viewed as one of several key swing counties in the nation in today's presidential election – was brisk this morning and early afternoon, with longer than normal lines reported countywide and many voters waiting an hour or more to cast their ballots.
But despite the crowds, Henrico Registrar Mark Coakley told the Citizen that he doesn't expect voter turnout today to exceed the county's 79.8 percent turnout rate in the 2008 presidential election.
That year, morning rain kept turnout slightly lower early in the day. Today, voters had only cold temperatures to deal with as they went to the polls. The morning rush should reduce the length of lines at Henrico's 92 precincts this evening, Coakley said.
President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney identified Henrico early in this campaign as the key swing county in Virginia, the potential key state in the election. Obama won the county by nearly 19,000 votes four years ago, turning a historically red county blue. His victory here that year was due in large part to his 23,000-vote advantage over Republican John McCain in the Fairfield and Varina districts.
For Romney to paint Henrico red today, he'll likely need to cut into Obama's margins in those two districts and attract more voters in the traditionally Republican Three Chopt and Tuckahoe districts, where McCain won by slightly less than 9,000 votes in 2008.
If Romney's margins in those two district offset Obama's margins in Fairfield and Varina, then the county's vote could come down to the Brookland District – which McCain won four years ago by just 42 votes out of the 37,219 cast there.
This is the first presidential election since the county shifted the lines of its magisterial districts slightly in 2011, following the 2010 U.S. census.
Only minor voting issues had been reported in Henrico as of 1:45 p.m. today. Power flickered at two precincts in the Fairfield District this morning, but Dominion Power crews quickly restored it and no votes were lost, Coakley said.
The number of absentee voters in the county was lower this year than in 2008 by about 4,000, Coakley said. But, at about 16,000, "it's still high," he said.
Henrico voters today also are helping select a replacement for outgoing U.S. Senator Jim Webb in a race contesting former governors George Allen, a Republican, and Tim Kaine, a Democrat. Webb defeated Allen six years ago to claim the seat.
Voters in the western portion of Henrico also are choosing between Republican incumbent Eric Cantor and Democrat Wayne Powell in the race for the 7th District U.S. House of Representatives seat, while voters in the eastern part of the county are choosing between Democratic incumbent Bobby Scott and Republican challenger Dean Longo.
Canterbury Recreation Association 'wins' the 'Dunk Hunger' drive
For the third consecutive year, the Canterbury Recreation Association in Short Pump donated the most meals to the fourth-annual "Dunk Hunger" campaign, which raises money and food donations for FeedMore's Central Virginia Food Bank.

Comments On Jun 24, 2015:Carries all my goggles and tearoffs and lenses that I need for a weekend of riding. The velcro dividers are kind of cheap but they do the job. I use a second goggle carrier for gloves and socks. Works great and keeps dirt and dust out of your stuff.

Comments On Aug 18, 2014:Got this for my niece and nephews "race day" goggles. Dissappointed that the only goggles equipped with roll-offs that fit are her youth sized Scott Main goggles. I'll get another Moose carry case next time.

Comments On Mar 21, 2014:A bit bigger than I thought, and the velcro dividers are cheesy and don't stay in place well. Otherwise, OK box.

Comments On Oct 17, 2013:Awesome goggle case. Especially like the Velcro adjustable dividers. I just stuff it in my gear bag and my goggles are good.

Comments On Aug 26, 2012:Nice carry case. Unfortunately the velcro dividers do move during transport.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On May 23, 2012:This is a very big goggle case, and it provides good protection for the goggles. Only real complaint is that the dividers just velcro to the sides and the velcro isn't very strong, otherwise, no complaints.

Preview | RecapLawson leads men's golf on day one of General Hackler Championship
Monday, March 14, 2011
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (Mar. 13, 2011) - ETSU freshman Spencer Lawson (Raleigh, N.C.) fired a second round 3-under 69 and he is one of only five players in the field under par through two rounds in the General Hackler Championship at the TPC of Myrtle Beach. Lawson is tied for fourth place at 1-under (74-69�143).
The Bucs are in eighth place after two rounds of play in the 17-team field at 600 (+24) overall. ETSU, the defending champions of the event, followed up a first round 309 (+21) with an impressive round of 291 (+3) in the second round. The 291 in round two was the third best team score of the entire event thus far.
Lawson fired a first round 74 before posting the 3-under-par second round. The second round 69 was the second best score of the entire day. Lawson's second round included five birdies and two bogeys.

ETSU senior Paul O'Kane (Castledawson, Northern Ireland) had a solid day and is tied for 13th at 147 (+3). O'Kane recorded a solid first round 74 before following that up with a 73.
Devin Komline (Dorset, Vermont) had the most up and down day for the Bucs as he recorded a very impressive 1-under 71 in round two, which followed an opening round 80. Komline is at +7 overall and is tied for 25th.
Freshman Lucas Armstrong (Church Hill, Tennessee) and sophomore Patrick Spraggs (Rochford, England) also competed for the Bucs. Armstrong is tied for 67th (83-78�161) while Spraggs is tied for 74th (81-80�161) after two rounds.

Despite Red Bull achieving their first win of this season in Montreal, Sebastian Vettel concedes there is "still plenty of work ahead."
Vettel's team-mate Daniel Ricciardo raced to the victory in Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix, overtaking the ailing Mercedes of Nico Rosberg with three laps remaining.
It the Aussie's first career win and also Red Bull's first of this season.
Interviewed on the podium, former racer Jean Alesi joked about this "nice guy" new team-mate of his to which Vettel said: "He is still a nice guy.
"Congratulations to him, this is his day."
And although conceding that Red Bull benefitted from Mercedes' problems on Sunday, the reigning World Champion rightfully acknowledged that they had to be up there to do so.
"The race really came alive towards the end, it came to us with a big help from Mercedes unlike in all the other weekends.
"But we were there to capitalise.
"It was difficult for us being stuck behind the Force India, first I was stuck behind Nico Hulkenberg and then Daniel was stuck behind Perez.
"We were just not quick enough down the straights, we lacked power so obviously it didn't help our strategy.
"Still this is a very positive day."
Ricciardo's win also marks the first V6 victory for engine supplier Renault with Vettel admitting that they still have some way to go before they can challenge the Mercedes drivers on a regular basis.
"A first win for Daniel, a first win for Renault in this new era of engines.
"I think they had a very good come back but as we saw today there is still plenty of work ahead of us because the Mercedes are still quite a lot quicker down the straights.
"All in all a very good day and once again congrats to Daniel."
