The European Commission's science and knowledge service
A person is exposed to many environmental factors within his/her local environment: chemical emissions from consumer products (particles, air pollutants), environmental noise, molds etc. These chemical, physical, and biological factors play an important role in people's health, especially in the development and progression of disease. Assessing human exposure of individuals or populations to environmental factors is an important component and integral part of human health risk assessment. To achieve this a fundamental shift towards trans-disciplinary collaborations, that would link exposure and health sciences, is necessary.
We support the exposure science community and EU environmental and public health related policies to develop harmonised, integrated and robust methodologies, tools and guidance for occupational and non-occupational exposure assessments concerning different routes (air, water, soil) and pathways (inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact) of exposure and to reliably apply these in various legislative frameworks and policies (consumer products, energy efficiency buildings, environmental noise, human biomonitoring).
We collaborate with other European Commission Services, EU Member States, the World Health Organisation (WHO), the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), the European Environment Agency (EEA), NGOs and other strategic partners and stakeholders on an international scale for the development of holistic, harmonised and standardised concepts and approaches for human exposure which are based on innovative and state of the art monitoring and modelling methodologies of environmental stressors.
Exposure and Health Impact Assessment Methodologies
Stressors such as air pollution and noise have been confirmed as being among the leading causes of environment related disease in many European countries (EEA-JRC report on Environment and Human Health, 2013). The prevention of such diseases, arising from chemical, biological and physical stressors, through improved outdoor and indoor air quality is also part of the 7th EU Environmental Programme and the WHO Regional Priority Goals 3 and 4 as reflected in the WHO Ministerial Declaration on Environment and Health (Parma Declaration on Environment and Health, 2010). This includes the development of a consistent and rational approach to human bio-monitoring as a tool to assist evidence-based public health and environmental measures.
Various pieces of EU legislation require that the health impact of exposure to chemicals and other physical and biological factors is accurately assessed. Analysing the effects of these factors over a sustained period is a highly complex process. We are actively supporting the development of appropriate integrated methodologies and software tools which aim to ensure the systematic and standardised assessment of the consequences of exposure to these factors and other agents referenced in EU legislation.
To support the exposure and risk assessment within the EU Regulatory Framework for the Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH regulation, (EC) No. 1907/2006) and the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD, 2001/95/EC), the European Commission initiated the development of exposure assessment related frameworks and tools. JRC related activities focus on:
Assessing Exposure and Health Risks in Energy Efficient Buildings
Europeans spend on average almost 90% of their time inside various types of buildings (homes, offices, restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and other public buildings). Exposure to outdoor and indoor chemicals, noise, radon, particulate matter, dust and dampness, moulds and other biological agents (which are released from numerous building materials and consumer products such as paints, furniture and fittings, printers, cleaning agents etc.) has been linked to increased prevalence of respiratory symptoms, allergies and asthma as well as perturbation of the immunological system.
Assessing air exposure and health risks in buildings is a complex issue due to a wide number and type of sources and pollutants, exposure levels and health implications as well as the differences in cultural habits, living style, building stock and climates across the EU. We have been working to develop a holistic approach for the built environment in support of relevant EU policies which will make it safer, healthier, more energy efficient and sustainable.
Several European and national policies, technical guidelines, standards, and best practices have been developed to address various building-related systems and pollutants. To guarantee human health protection while rationalising economic and energy expenditure in buildings, these initiatives need to collectively and synergistically support each other. This requires the involvement and of EU decision makers, national and local authorities, technical experts, manufacturers, technology providers, building designers, maintenance experts, civil society organisations, each person through his/her behaviour.
In connection with Europe 2020 Strategy, we support research activities and policy related actions for streamlining, building and implementing a holistic and integrated approach which bridges safety, health, energy efficiency and sustainability aspects across existing legislative instruments and standardisation activities related to the built environment (e.g. energy performance, indoor air quality, noise, safety of constructions, consumer products). This will allow achieving a balance between good indoor air quality and the rational use of energy in buildings through the use of innovative technologies and appropriate regulation and enforcement regimes. It will also help in avoiding potential pitfalls of energy efficiency requirements in existing, new and renovated buildings which may negatively impact on human health.
We have been specifically contributing to the development of harmonisation frameworks and guidelines at the EU level for:
• Monitoring, testing and evaluating the health impact of emissions from construction and consumer products used inside buildings,
• Investigating the relative importance of outdoor and indoor sources of pollution and the relationship between ventilation, indoor air quality and rational use of energy to human health and comfort,
• Simulating real-life exposure scenarios to physical, chemical and biological pollutants and testing and validating innovative technological solutions for clean and eco-efficient buildings, through the use of e.g. photocatalytic construction materials.
Assessing exposure and burden of disease due to environmental noise
Environmental noise is due to transport, industrial and recreational activities. We are involuntarily exposed to it in our workplace, on the streets and in our homes. It is now recognised that prolonged exposure can lead to significant health effects, both physical and mental. The EU's Environmental Noise Directive 2002/49/EC sets out to monitor noise pollution and develop long-term policies for noise reduction. We provide technical support for the implementation of the directive.
Traffic related noise may account for over 1 million healthy life years lost in Europe. Urbanisation and a steep increase in traffic are the main causes of escalating environmental noise exposure in Europe. This estimation breaks down to 61 000 years lost for ischaemic heart disease, 45 000 years for cognitive impairment of children, 903 000 years for sleep disturbance, 22 000 years for tinnitus and 654 000 years for annoyance in the European Union Member States and other western European countries. According to the European Commission's 2011 White Paper on Transport, traffic noise-related external costs would increase to roughly € 20 billion by 2050 (compared to 2005) unless further action is taken.
Europe is acting to fight noise pollution. The Environmental Noise Directive (2002/49/EC) requires EU Member States to determine the exposure to environmental noise through strategic noise mapping and elaborate action plans to reduce noise pollution. Since June 2007, EU countries are obliged to produce strategic noise maps for all major roads, railways, airports and agglomerations, on a five‐year basis. These noise maps are used by national competent authorities to identify priorities for action planning and by the European Commission to globally assess noise exposure across the EU. This information also serves to inform the general public about the levels of noise to which they are exposed, and about actions undertaken to reduce noise pollution to a level not harmful to public health and the environment.
We support the European Commission noise policy by developing harmonised methodologies and tools (CNOSSOS-EU project) to reliably estimate the exposure to environmental noise and the associated health impact on European citizens. These are used to produce strategic noise maps which are used by the EU national competent authorities to identify priorities for action planning and by the European Commission to provide global assessments of noise exposure across the EU. This information also serves to inform the general public about the levels of noise to which they are exposed, and about actions undertaken to reduce noise pollution.
We have also been collaborating with the WHO to review the evidence on health effects from environmental noise, to provide guidance and promote knowledge transfer and capacity building on how to quantify the associated risks and estimate the associated burden of disease in European countries.
In the framework of the European Network on Noise and Health (ENNAH) project, we published an extensive review of the evidence on the health impacts of noise exposure.
Linking Human Exposure to Human Biomonitoring
Human biomonitoring is an analytical approach which focuses directly on measuring the volume of toxic chemical compounds present in the body. This is often, performed through the analysis of bio-fluids such as blood and urine. The way in which these chemicals accumulate in air, soil or water may be quite different from their behaviour in the human body. Analysis of environmental chemicals in human tissues is the most effective way of knowing which of these we should be most wary of. This is an important tool for assessing human exposure to environmental substances and in some cases their potential health risks. It is seen as an essential element in a strategy for environmental health impact assessment and we are involved in the development of a coherent approach to the collection and analysis of this important data.
As the science and knowledge service of the European Commission, the Joint Research Centre's mission is to support EU policies with independent evidence throughout the whole policy cycle.

I am trying to boot from an USB stick. Have carefully followed the instructions at the following link and successfully downloaded and installed version Ubuntu 12.04 desktop:
I used the Universal-USB-Installer-220.127.116.11 as instructed and choose the
Ubuntu 12.04 desktop option, after downloading the respective iso/zip file onto my Dell laptop from the Ubuntu site.
Also modified my BIOS to select the USB first as boot drive instead of hard drive. Also, turned off bit blocker on my laptop and USB stick. USB stick has the setting of
Automatically unlock this drive on this computer.
When I reboot my laptop, it first boots into a black screen (I assume is the BIOS), but prompts saying
Remove disks or other media. Press any key to start. I press any key and regardless the laptop boots up to Windows. Hence, it appears that the boot process is checking the USB first before going to the hard drive to look for it's boot disk and starting Windows 7.
Is it that the USB stick is not correctly configured with Ubuntu as a boot disk? Is there anything else that I need to do besides the instructions at the following link?
How can I ensure that USB boot stick is configured correctly? After running the Universal-USB-Installer-188.8.131.52 to "install" Ubuntu, is there additional configuration/installation steps?
What is the first file that the BIOS would look for on this USB drive? Is this configured somewhere in the BIOS, or would it just look for a grub file or /boot dir?
The only message I get when booting is
Remove disks or other media. Press any key to start.
Any and all help would be much appreciated.

1. The text to be replaced should be marked as selected before the replacement is performed. Currently the text what has been replaced remains selected.
2. Replace all should follow the direction. Now when we replace "Up" direction with "Replace" button and choose "Replace All" it goes backward.
3. There is a bug when "Replace All" is performed and the new string is an extension of string being replaced. It ends in endless loop, I guess.
I have a script like:
- Code: Select all
var sum = 0;
var result = sum;
When I try to replace "sum" with eg. "sumx" and choose "Replace All" it crashes the application. It happens only when "Whole Words" is unchecked.
I have already made changes to SearchEngine.java, what fixes bugs and includes proposed features. If you are interested in let me know how to send it.

First Lt. Danielle Gibb is an active duty Marine who attended an event aboard Camp Lejeune Tuesday to learn how to go about starting a business.
"After working in the military and seeing what runs efficiently and what doesn't, I would like to go into the next step of life and work somewhere that I could possibly help using the experiences I got in the military," Gibb said.
She along with about 100 other military women gathered to get advice from local organizations that help small businesses or entrepreneurs looking to start one.
First Lt. Rachel Opperman came to find out how.
"I guess my biggest issue is trying to find an idea, what I'd like to do, but I think it would definitely be interesting to start your own business and be able to do something you really enjoy," Opperman said.
Chamber of Commerce President Laurette Leagon hopes the event inspires women to take the chance.
"I think there will be a lot of motivation," Leagon said. "They'll learn about financing. There are opportunities for minority-owned businesses to get special financing."
Leagon says women own 28 percent of the small businesses in North Carolina. She hopes an event like this will inspire more women to become entrepreneurs.
Keynote speaker Sue Malone says having an organized, military mindset gives those who want to start a business an advantage.
"They can make their own decisions," Malone said. "They don't need to have someone above them make it. They can do it. They can execute, and they can pull the trigger when they want to execute."
Leagon says it's OK to ask for help when starting a business, and there are plenty of places in Onslow County to start.

When two pitbulls rushed through the hole of a chain linked fence and attacked an 11-year-old boy and his 5-year-old sister in Dublin, Ga., big brother took charge.
Scroll down for video:
According to 13 WMAZ-TV, Maleik Carr (pictured) and his sister Jalia walk through a backyard along the fence to get to the school bus stop each day. But on Monday morning, they were met by the two angry dogs.
"The brown and white dog ran to the other side, jumped out of the fence and the black one did too, and they started snapping at Jalia. So I ran over there started kicking them away from her, and they bit me. And I told Jalia to run," says Maleik.
She dashed across the street as her big bro bravely battled the two pitbulls. When they started biting on his legs, he took his sister's toy chair and began beating them with it. He battled them long enough to hop over his own fence where his sister met and then rushed him to the hospital.

Hide and Show onButtonClick()
Could anyone provide a small example on how to show a panel and hide a panel when we click on a button? my button is found on a toolbar..Im a bit lost. Also, am I (REALLY??) allowed to use only a function, and not a controller? (I saw in the documentation..but the button is a button only in the panel itself, how do I do this from a button found on a toolbar?)
3 Jan 2013 11:12 AM #2
I don't have a sample but you can do what you ask using a controller and you will learn so much more building it yourself, like this:
First, all you need to do in your View is give each control you need to interact with an "id" - in this case your panel and your button. The controls in your view fire events that the Controller can capture and act upon
Now create a Controller if you don't already have one and then add a "References" for each control. E.g. if your button id is "myButton" then for the Reference name (step 1 of 1) enter "myButton" and for the selector (step 2 of 2) enter the button id with a "#' in front so "#myButton", make sure you spell these correctly. Do the same for the panel.
Okay, now in the Controller let's capture a "tap" event on the button - in the Controller add an "Actions - Controller Action". Choose "Ext.Button" for the target type and "tap" for the event name. Now you have a new function that will be called when you tap the button. Let's check that it works:
Select the new tap function in the Controller and switch to the Code view and enter "alert('Hello world');". Now save you project and run it - when you tap the button you should see a popup with the test "Hello world"
Ok, now we simply need to show and hide the panel when you click the button instead of displaying a popup message. To do that we need to be able to reference the panel so we can show and hide it - remember how we added a reference for the panel id earlier? Now we get to use that. Sencha helps us here in that it will automatically create a "getter" for us to access the panel. The name will be the word "get" followed by the id of your panel with the first letter captialized. So, let's say your panel id is "myPanel", you will use the function getMyPanel() to find the panel. Now we need a context to do it so use the word "this" which means the Controller:
this.getMyPanel().hide(); // this will hide the panel
this.getMyPanel().show(); // this will show the panel
3 Jan 2013 11:22 AM #3
ohhh! thank you so much so much so much! I'll try this. So I do this for everything that I want to show and hide? the controller then can hide, apart from this panel, other views that I have on my viewport but which I dont need at some time, right? Also, I have a small query..I was thinking, if I have a login form with two buttons, Login and Cancel..then the Login one when I click on it,goes to some "login.php" that checks whether the user can log in etc etc, and then how do I redirect this to another view in my extjs app? I use the success function? Thanks
3 Jan 2013 11:33 AM #4
for the views, can I make use of itemId instead of id?
3 Jan 2013 1:02 PM #5
Ooops, this submitted before I was ready...
Yes, the controller can do everything. The key is that by using References the Controller has access to every control item in your View. You can write local handlers in the Views too but your code will be more difficult to manage so it is good practice to use the Controller. When you get the MVC concept working you can move on to more "best practices" on how to manage events that will help you on larger projects.
Yes, you are thinking correctly on the login form. This form would have a username and password field with a login button. When the user presses the login button (which triggers a function in the Controller just like we did in the previous example), the Controller calls the login web-service. The callback from that webservice will have a "records" value (and a success). The records value is where your data will be. So for example, lets say the server returns a 0 value if the login is successful, you would check that like this in the login webservice callback and then jump to your main screen (and you should destroy the login form to get that memory back and reduce the DOM):
if (records[0].data.Result === LOGIN_SUCCEEDED) {
mainTabScreen = Ext.create('myProject.view.MainTabPanel');
Ext.Viewport.add(mainTabScreen); // Show the main tab panel
Use the id for now (not the itemId - as it works differently). Sencha has many different ways to reference controls, you just need to get one method working first and then you will understand what the other options means and when you might best use them.
3 Jan 2013 1:39 PM #6
Thanks a lot! when I have forms, may I submit them directly, without using a controller? Sometimes I see form panels have a url directly, and then I see buttons have handlers with url, success and failure functions, and then controllers...?
3 Jan 2013 3:12 PM #7
Absolutely, you can submit forms directly from UI components, but it goes against the MVC paradigm which separates the representation of data from how the user interacts with it. Changes and maintenance will be far easier and it will be easier to migrate to other UI's (mobile vs. Desktop for example) the less code you have tied directly to the UI. Notice how the UI (the Views) have no real knowledge of the Controller when using MVC? Controls just fire events and this is what keeps them abstracted from the Controller. If you place the code in the views then the code has exact knowledge of the Views (if you change the View the code will need to change with it).
The less dependencies you have in your code the better and it is this issue that MVC attempts to address.There are best practices on event handling for sure. One for example might be turning component-specific events into view events so for example you might turn a tap on a button in a view into firing a "createNewUser" event for the Controller - this would abstract the Controller from the View (you already have the View abstracted from the Controller) and give you even more independence in your code.
For example, let's say you tied the creation of a new user (the code for "createNewUser" above) to a button in a View, and later decide you want to also be able to create a new user from a menu as well. Now you will need to duplicate the code you have in the button into the menu (or some other workaround). A controller solves this because the button simply fires a "createNewUser" event that the controller handles. To add this functionality to a menu you would simply add a "CreateNewUser" event to it. This all becomes important when projects get bigger, but for now you should experiment and do what you think best.
3 Jan 2013 9:26 PM #8
Thank you very much I think I start to understand! My button has an id, and then nothing about functionalities inside the button. In my controller I have a reference to my button,using its id, and then all functions in the controller itself..right? But what about models and stores? Also, I was wondering..my php backend files, where do I place them (please)?
4 Jan 2013 8:20 AM #9
Exactly right, now you have it.
The stores and models are used to define and access your data. For example, each web service on your server will have a corresponding store in your application. Each store has a model. The store defines the URL, name, etc for your web service and the model defines the fields returned from the web service. These are super-easy to use.
You can also host your data locally which is a great way to start (and be able to demo). Simply create a new folder in your application called say "data" and put some data list records there in a JSON format. Now create a store in your app and the localhost path in it to your JSON data, attach a model that defines the fields of your data. Now simply insert a list and bind it to the store and you can see your data. There are a number of good examples of this online. Accessing data locally is a great way to start because you don't have to first write a server-side web service before you can do anything and by the time you need to write the web service you will have defined the data needs well in your app. It is an easy matter to swap out the local data for a web service as they are access the exact same way through a store and model.
If you want to get going with web-services right away then use some public ones like twitter, or Wordpress. Sencha has a "citybars" example for Touch that usesYelp which it is a really great way to begin.
4 Jan 2013 8:30 AM #10
thanks! you are helping me so much..may God bless you! actually, I need to use the models and stores with a php backend, and most examples are showing how to use local data. I think I understood that if I use php backend, and my php scripts they have to json encode the results returned by my queries..my problem is my models I define them with the fields and datatype that I have in the tables of MySQL database? and my store, the url is going to be one folder where I have, for example, data/addUser.php?
folder structure:
-data?? -->addUser.php inside here

- Binding: Hardcover
- Era:
- Number of Pages: 276
- Subject: U.S. Navy
- Date Available: January 2003
Fans of Edward L. Beach Jr.'s books, including his classic submarine novel Run Silent, Run Deep and his 200-year history of the U.S. Navy, will be drawn to this memoir by his late father, a U.S. Navy Captain, who was a popular novelist of his era. Not only was Beach Sr. a good storyteller but he also was an astute observer of history in the making, and his naval career spanned the sailing and steam navies. Written in the 1930s but never before published, the book is as much about the U.S. Navy as it is about Beach. In his early days Beach served with Civil War veterans aboard wooden ships, while late in his service his shipmates were the future naval leaders of World War II. His account of the Battle of Manila Bay in 1898, the Philippine Insurrection of the early 1900s, Haiti in 1915, the British Grand Fleet at Scapa Flow in 1918, and the wreck of the Memphis, a cruiser under Beach's command that was destroyed by a 1916 tsunami in Santo Domingo Harbor, is eyewitness reporting at its best. As Beach describes the growth of the Navy, he tells not only what happened but how and why things happened. Beach Jr. puts his father's writing in historical context for today's readers and offers insights into his father's feelings. Rarely does a valuable primary source like this come to light so many years after it was written.
Edward L. Beach Sr., an 1888 graduate of the Naval Academy, became a professor of history at Stanford University after retiring as a captain from the U.S. Navy in 1922. He published thirteen books before his death in 1943. Edward L. Beach Jr., a 1939 graduate of the Academy and also a retired captain in the U.S. Navy, is the award-winning author of numerous books, including Run Silent, Run Deep [5] and Around the World Submerged [6].

Getting md5 passwords was confusing because of a lack of documentation:
- set up your pg_hba.conf in order to use md5 password instead of 'trust' or 'ident'
- check if your postgres.conf has 'password_encryption=on' (depending on the version this might already be 'on').
- make sure to restart your postgres process.
- in PHP you just supply the username and password in _plain_ text:
'host=localhost port=5432 dbname=megadb user=megauser password=holyhandbagsbatmanthispasswordisinplaintext'
The postgres PHP library will automagically do the md5 encoding for you, no need to do it yourself.

then I confirmed that it was causing the Stackoverflow "Add Comment" problem as well.
Believe me - I had No-Script set to allow scripts from all sites, even though it said it was dangerous. Maybe No-Script hasn't fully adapted to Firefox 3.5.2 yet?
You should note that you need 50 points to add comments. Your account here on Meta only has 1 and the account on SO has 11. That said, if you don't see a pop-up that alerts you to this restriction, I point you to Chacha102's response.
Well - I jumped over to IE to type in this answer. I was original in FireFox 3.5. I have NoScript installed, but have checked the option that says "Scripts Globally Allowed (dangerous)" (which in my opinion is not really dangerous).
I'm doing work with Dojo - and JavaScript in all my applications that I'm writing, so I really don't think JavaScript is off.
I also have Firebug installed in Firefox.
Here in IE - the "Your Answer" box appears and I can type in without clicking anything. In Firefox - I click "Answer your question" and nothing happens.
NOTE: See my new answer below for the "real solution".
I'm having the same issue, but it's a year since this thread was discussed (should I ask a new (identical question if this thread is too old?).
I have NoScript installed, but disabled it and restarted FF. Still no dice. The "add comment" button is "clickable" (the mouse pointer changes), but clicking does nothing -- same goes for the "Answer" button. Asking a new question (and editing it) works just fine.
What else can I try to get this to work? For me, FF 3.6.10

"Looking Back at 2012"
What a year…
It started in March with our International Fitness Showcase in Blackpool, UK. The memory of this Event that will stay with me forever, is our Finale Team Ride. This year it was the UK & Ireland Team's male MI's to lead. The theme was '70's Mojo'. What a massive effort everyone made to dress up! The photos were so colourful and the atmosphere drew many people into the riding room to see what was happening!
In June, I was selected to present again at WSSC. What I will take with me from this Event is giving up my bike on the MI Team Ride to a very special lady. Back in 2011, I left teaching at a facility because I was the only Spinning® Certified Instructor, battling against other Indoor Cycling Certified Instructors. I also left thinking I hadn't made any difference. But I was wrong. This lady who missed my Classes and disliked the others so much, went on to become Spinning® Certified. This year she attended WSSC for the first time, so it seemed fitting that as I had started her Spinning® Journey, she should experience the thrill of riding with the Masters! We both cried but they were happy tears.
Throughout the early Autumn I presented at our infamous Fitness Fiesta Events and the Big One South. Always lots of energy and fun. It's just about riding and having fun at these Events, oh and parting hard. You most certainly need a rest after these Events!
For the last 12 months, I've been teaching TeenSpin® for the boys at a Royal Grammar School. They love the Classes however in particular one boy has hugely benefited. Disliking all other sports and games at the school, being quite overweight and lacking in confidence, he came along with a somewhat poor attitude too. After the first Class he was hooked! Attending consistently twice a week he's lost weight and his whole personality has changed for the better. I had a lovely email from his parents, thanking me for the 'new son' they now have!
In December, I presented at the Spinning® for Serious Request in the Netherlands. Riding for 12 hours, €27,120.99 was raised. I was very honoured to be a part of what is a huge Charity that the whole Country gets involved in. The commitment and determination was astounding.
Finally, a lovely middle aged lady who started my Classes at the beginning of 2012, had set herself a New Year Resolution to lose weight. To date she has lost over 42 lbs (19 kgs). For years she has tried and sometimes succeeded to lose weight but it always crept back on. Plus having never found an exercise activity she could stick to, coming along to a Spinning® Class was a last ditch effort.
As I always say to people, you've got to enjoy your exercise, otherwise you'll never stick to it!
So what a year…I wonder what 2013 will bring?
I would love to hear what memories you have from your Spinning®, whether as an Instructor or Enthusiast from 2012.
Michelle Colvin – International Spinning® Master Instructor (UK)

Do salt lamps really produce negative ions? Do you know about any scientific study that could support this assertion or disprove it?
There is no study because there is no physical mechanism were a salt crystal sends negative ions into the air without any energy input. Just heating the inside up with an incandescent lamp warms the lamp a bit but this does not create any measurable amount of negative ions.
There are ion generators but these work on a completely different principle. Basically you need a very high electric field to ionize air molecules or dust particles. Here is a study that explains how the air quality is positively influenced by a air purifier that creates negative ions.
This website addresses this issue. I have no idea how rigorous it is but it is interesting. http://www.negativeionsinformation.org/saltcrystallamps.html

This JDI webinar on preventing sexual abuse in youth detention will cover the importance of partnerships between community advocates and corrections officials and the vital role of community advocates in serving incarcerated youth. Leaders from both fields will discuss trauma-informed responses to this abuse and new opportunities to provide services to this underserved group afforded by the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) standards. The speakers will also address related changes in juvenile correction's approach to sexual abuse and next steps for continuing this critically important cultural shift. The webinar will offer examples of successful community-corrections partnerships, and will feature a conversation between an advocate and corrections leader who are currently working together to end sexual violence against youth behind bars. These discussions will demonstrate how such collaborations can ensure that youth get the help they need, including confidential rape crisis services. This webinar is the second in a three-part series on sexual violence in youth detention. Who Should Attend: This webinar is aimed at advocates and service providers – rape crisis center staff, counselors, and administrators – though anyone who works in the victim services field is encouraged to attend. Corrections officials, law enforcement, and other professionals in related fields are also invited.

Catching up on some of the things that have been codefied as 'theory' in web development.
Starting off with the concept of Web Actions - the things that a website would like you to do with their content. This seems so simple but it speaks to this idea that content is meant to be used and shared - in a commercial setting. Which is to say, we create websites and content to make something happen. I can't decide if that's 'making money' or 'sharing ideas' or 'making money and sharing ideas'.
At the same time, I'm also thinking about information overload.
life rocks every day of the week

I have an exterior lock set with a knob on the inside. I can't get the interior doorknob off. It does not have a hole in the shaft of the knob in which you press a clip down to remove it. It's one of those where you pull the cover plate back away from the door and rotate an inner plate in the direction of the arrows. After I rotate the inner plate, what do I do next to remove the interior knob and the plate on the door. The interior plate is loose, so it seems to be out of its "Locked" position, but will not come off. I believe it's a Schlage lockset. It came with the house and is 22 years old.
post a pic . sounds like a kwikset titan and if it is you rotate cc about 15 deg and it should pop off. may be an old corbin where there are 2 rectangles at 12 o clock and six o clock. push them away from the latch with and the knob will literally pop off.
Is there a lock cylinder on the other side? If so sometimes you need to use the key to remove the handle. Once you have the plate loosened, try turning the key beyond the normal resistance point.

Evaluating Alternative Lift Truck Fuel Options
With energy costs on the rise and the increasing awareness of the impact on the environment, businesses of all types and sizes are considering how to run their operations as efficiently and ecofriendly as possible. Nearly all facets of operation fall under review and are scrutinized to refine processes and practices with the ultimate goal of greater efficiency and stewardship. A company's material handling function is no exception. As more companies look to make improvements, they will inevitably evaluate their lift truck fleet and the fuel that drives that fleet.
These evaluations as well as current and pending government regulations have created an increasing demand for lift truck manufacturers to provide alternative fuel options on the vehicles they provide. While electric lift trucks continue their hold on the smaller capacity applications, high-load capacity applications and vehicles remain largely powered by internal combustion engines. As technology advances, new fuel and hybrid options are emerging that meet many of the challenges of the high-load applications, while being more eco-friendly.
As more alternative fuel and hybrid options emerge, it can be difficult to grasp or decipher the nuances between the benefits and challenges that each option provides. While moving to a more eco-friendly and sustainable solution, the lifting, traveling and load capacity of lift trucks must be evaluated simultaneously, and a proper balance of cost, energy efficiency and productivity considered.

Cartoons have a great deal of meaning to
us. Classics like Scooby Doo and Scooby Doo coloring pages never get old,
and we still love to follow the antics of Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and
of course Scooby Doo. Somehow the gang manages to find a new mystery every
episode, but with their clever sleuthing, a little bit of luck and a few
Scooby Snacks along the way, it all turns out perfectly in the end. And
amazingly, the villain is always someone you might never expect to go
running around in that particular costume doing naughty deeds.

Hello everybody,
I recently received my nodal ninja MKII3 and I have already created my first panoramic image (is it ok to say panorama?)! The result is outstanding compared to other panoramas I have made with hand held images and with my own homemade panoramic mount (awful!!). There are a few minor stitching errors but that is most likely because I did not properly align the camera on the mount with respect to the no-paralax point.
Anyways, I have not yet published it on the web because I am having issues coming up with a good quality yet low sized immersive panorama (flash tour). So my question is: What are the standard parameters most people use when creating 360x180 panoramas and publishing them to the web?
So far, I have been able to create a panorama no larger than about 20,000 by 10,000 pixels at a JPEG quality of 12/12. That's 200 megapixels! It took Autopano Giga 3 and a half hours to stitch it all together on my notebook. The image is spectacular but it is way too big to put on the internet. So I am wondering what is a more acceptable size? I like the huge image and it is great, but is it too much? Maybe 10,000 by 5,000? 360cities, requires a minimum size of 6,000 by 3,000.
Also, when creating the tour what are the best parameters to use (specifically using autopano tour)? With Autopano Tour I have made nice tours with the size set to maximum (5000), jpeg quality set to maximum (12) and the cutting size set to 1200. The tour had an amazing amount of detail, but it took up way to much memory to be feasible on the internet.
Can anybody give an y suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I found this sentence:
GaAs at 300K contains 10^15 acceptor atoms per cubic centimeter.
The bandgaps for Gallium Arsenite are:
0 Kelvin : 1.518 eV 300 Kelvin: 1.424 eV
Now I am wondering:
Why does Gallium Arsenite have this impurity?
Is the bandgap at 300 Kelvin is stated for a pure GaAs semiconductor or does it already incorporate the influence of the impurity?
If it doesn't what else does then cause the narrowing of the bandgap?

The project at Gemasolar uses molten salt to store heat. This heat is then used with water to drive steam turbines. Over time does this kind of repeated heat/cold cycle make the molten salt a less effective medium to store heat? How would the old medium/waste be disposed of?
Gemasolar uses a mixture of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate. There's an overview of this and other molten salt mixtures in this pdf.
The sodium/potassium nitrate is chosen because it has excellent stability, both chemical and thermal. The molten salt mixture will in principle last forever and wouldn't need to be replaced. Presumably the Gemasolar salt circulation system isn't perfect and will gradually build up impurities in the salt e.g. water from leaks or metal from wear in the pumps. How fast this will happen I don't know, and I suspect Gemasolar won't know either until they get experience at running the plant.

- What is Steam?
- Why should I buy the game on Steam instead from normal retailer?
- Can a game bought via Steam played independently?
closed as too broad by bmike♦ Dec 2 '14 at 16:15
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
What is Steam?
According to them, they are The Ultimate Online Game Platform. What this actually means is that they are a portal for you to buy, play and update games. With certain benefits. But "steam" is just that. They sell games (more on this later), they offer you a community where you can have Friends, Chat with them, unlock achievements, etc. If you're a user of an iPhone/Pod/Pad that has GameCenter in it, think of Steam as a pseudo GameCenter.
Why Steam and not normal retailer?
The advantages of Steam are a few, and I couldn't list them all because some things may not be better for everybody, but let's just say that the strength of the platform and what makes it different from buying a boxed game could be summarized in a few bullets (in no particular order):
Can games be played independently?
Yes and no. I don't believe you can copy that game over another machine (tho you could probably install steam on that machine and copy the game… I haven't tried this). But you can play offline if you don't have Internet.
Bonus: Is it worth?
If you have a Mac and like gaming, it's definitely a big plus, as a lot of games get ported and put into the Steam network. If you're in Windows, I believe the ease of use and "point and click" nature of the service make it worth. And also the fact that you don't have to pay to use it. Did I mention it's a free service? ;)
But Does it have Cons?
Some invaluable readers pointed out a few cons, which I will update (and I encourage everybody to contribute):
UPDATE: There's a dedicating gaming community in Stack Exchange for that. Don't hesitate asking gaming questions there too, those guys may seem like gamers, but they aren't playing at all ;)

|Check-in before
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).
First of all, I was a little nervous because I had plenty of doubts and the agency didn't answer me, in that point very bad customer service I can't believe they take like one week to answer a customer email... Anyway one week before our arrival our host finally could contact me and I talked to her. Luckly Montse was a Spanish woman and we could understand each other very good. Despite we had problems in our arrival, she was very kind and understood everything, made everything very easy and was very flexible about the arriving time. She really cared about us, offering herself for any help we could need (finding supermakets, places to eat, and useful information) we are really grateful about that:)
About the house, 10-15 min walk from Piazza San Marco, good location, very close to important places and easy to find (difficult in Venice..) the house is exactly as described in the pictures, one big sofa-bed (very comfortable) one bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom and a small terrace. Despite was a little bit small apartment was very nice, comfortable and charming.
Against: it wasn't very cleaned, some dirty in the corners and under the sofa and furniture. I don't understand why we had to pay 20€ per person for cleaning taxes and other taxes when they left us the apartment not as cleaned as they could...
The oven didn't work (or we didn't know how to turn it on... Neither our host) and half of the stoves didn't work, and the ones who did was very low fire and we took ages to cook and to get the water to boil.
The other think I didn't like (but this isn't problem of the house) is that even is well located, it's pretty far from the train station, like 40 min walking, 1hour if you are taking luggage, so the best thing is to take the vaporetto and its 40 min more or less and 7,50€ each trip. It's not a really big deal but a think to take on count if money is a struggle for you. You'll do it if you are going to Treviso airport.
Anyway, we had a very nice time then, if I go back to Venice, I would repeat for sure! :)
In the apartment, it is calm at night in spite of it's central location and insufficient windows' sound proofing.
Also insufficient is room lighting, shutters of the kitchen cabinet are not arranged well, there is mold in the shower cabin.
But the Fountain Trevi district is an excellent place in Rome, and if you are not very captious you will enjoy this place to stay.
Very cosy place in a beautiful setting. Will come back for sure.
Trusted patner There Are nice team Where they always try to help costumers for all what he need but for me i need help since i make booking from windu website page and i used my credit card to make the booking wimdu proof my booking by saying that
We will release the payment to your host at 12 noon (CET) on the day after check in. Therefore, we strongly advise you to inform us immediately after check-in (i.e. before 12 noon (CET) on the day after check-in) if you are not completely satisfied with your accommodation. In any contact with us, please refer to your booking code please need help
A nice little house in a charming village. A few negative things to mention: Not enough kops and plates for 4 persons, nearly no toilet-paper on arrival and we never suceeded in making the TV work. Since none of us are spanish speaking it would have been nice with some written information in the house.
...but nvertheless: We enjoyed our stay on the wonderful Island, away from the main tourist spots.

Let $f : \omega \to \{\text{wffs of set theory}\}$ be a function. Let $\leq_f$ be a total order on $\omega$.
Definition: $\langle f,\leq_f \rangle$ is a computable quasi-completion of ZFC if and only if
1. $f$ and $\leq_f$ are both computable
2. for all $m,n$ in $\omega$, if $m \leq_f \; n$, then all theorems of $ZFC+f(m)$ are theorems of $ZFC+f(n)$
3. for all sentences $s$ in the language of set theory, there exists a member $n$ of $\omega$ such that $ZFC+f(n)$ is consistent and one of $\{s,\lnot s\}$ is a theorem of $ZFC+f(n)$
Is it known that there is no computable quasi-completion of ZFC?
Basically, has the goal of Ultimate L been shown to be impossible?

The on-loan Chivas de Guadalajara striker continued his impressive form in MLS, scoring the game's only goal.Erick Torres scored the game's only goal in a 1-0 Chivas USA win over D.C. United at StubHub Center on Sunday night.
The home side opened the scoring just inside the beginning of the second half, as a cross wasn't dealt with by Nick DeLeon, and Torres cleaned up right in front of Bill Hamid for his seventh of the season in just nine games with the team.
United looked for a late equalizer, but its league-worst offense couldn't muster a goal against Chivas USA's league-worst defense. In a battle of the East's worst versus the West's worst, the Goats came out on top.

I am planning on going on a long distance bike tour, and I want to have a good website to blog on, post photos, twitter tweets, and videos. Does anyone have any advice for whether I should build it myself, or pay someone else. Is it worth it or should I just keep a personal journal? I do feel like it would be cool to communicate online, but there are a lot of blogs online about that stuff and it seems pointless to add another.
If I want to make a website of a long bike tour, should I make my own website or pay some one to do it for me?
There are never enough blogs on any topic.
See http://the-pastry-box-project.net/chris-coyier/2013-january-2/.
What things to consider especially for travel blogs?
Self-hosting vs. 3rd party service
3rd party service
Allow me to recommend traveljournal.net. It is developed by me, while traveling the world and optimised for use on the road.
It has all the usual features: blog, photo albums, map (you can upload GPS-logs), secure document vault, etc. One of the things that really sets it apart from other options? no advertisements whatsoever and designed to work wherever you are, even when the internet connection is slower than sending a postcard.
It is continuously updated/developed by someone who actually travels around and uses the service himself. I eat my own dogfood, so to say : )
Also, because many traveller manage their journals over insecure, often publicly shared networks (wifi, etc) every journal comes standard with SSL/TLS security build in. So, whenever you login or otherwise perform any sensitive action, your connection is secured with the same level of encrypted as web shops use (or at least, they should) to secure payment transactions.
I would go for an "email approach". Different blog platforms seem to support this feature, where you can provide the content for your blog by email. I am an avid user of Posterous. , but I was told that wordpress plugins exist that do the same.
The workflow is easy, you post a blog by posting it to firstname.lastname@example.com. Photo's, films and the like are added as attachment to the mail. You register by sending an initial mail. On the first email, your emailaddress is registered and you will get a respons explaining the following email.
Personally I dislike custom made blog platforms, for the simple reason that they often requires instant and good internet access, an asset not alway available while traveling. With an email approach you can blog while being offline, by just writing an email in an offline email client such as Outlook, mail, eudora, thunderbird, etc. The moment you have access, posting your content is just as simple as pressing "submit" or "send".
Especially in the case you need to buy internet time on an hourly base (internet cafe, paid wifi), you don't want to lose that time on writing blog content.
Weather or not it is worthwhile, definitely! You are right that there are many blogs around, but there is no such thing as "the" traveler, so the more blogs the merrier. I am saying this because I am getting a lot if not most inspiration and information form personal blogs.
Jekyll, or similar.
This generates the website on your computer, which means you can write and edit everything offline, like in your tent anywhere, and then upload it when a connection is available. It also means you can write with a proper text editor, not some textbox in a webpage.
There's a third-party solution out there that's specific to bike touring journals: Crazy Guy on a Bike is a solution for touring cyclists to post journals.
It's also a community of touring cyclists. There are forums and classified ads, and, most importantly, thousands of journals already hosted. You can host photos there, and embed videos and maps.

Terriers set to visit Tigers on the diamond Wednesday
Published: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 12:25 a.m.
If Wofford's baseball team can somehow keep it close, the Terriers just might pull off an upset of Clemson.
Wofford at Clemson
When: 4 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Doug Kingsmore Stadium
Records: Wofford 7-5, Clemson 6-4
Starting pitchers: Wofford — So. LHP Dominick Del Monte (0-1, 21.62); Clemson — Fr. LHP Matthew Crownover (0-0, 7.36).
Series history: Wofford and Clemson have played 100 times, with the Tigers holding the all-time advantage, 76-23-1. … Clemson has won 13 sraight. … Wofford's last win was 3-1 in Spartanburg in 1949. It completed a two-game sweep, the first being 20-18 in Clemson. … The Tigers, then fourth-ranked, beat Wofford 4-1 in 2011.
The Terriers and Tigers will meet at 4 p.m. Wednesday at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.
Close games have been the norm so far this season for Wofford (7-5), which is on a three-game winning streak. The Terriers swept a pair from Marshall and then beat Dayton. They have four wins in their final at-bat, three with walk-off hits.
"We've certainly played some very tight games and competitive games," Wofford head coach Todd Interdonato said. "That's just kind of the way it's played out. With such a young team, hopefully these games will pay off for us later in the year."
Last season, Wofford beat then sixth-ranked South Carolina, the two-time defending national champion on its way to a third straight title series, 5-4 in 11 innings. The Terriers last played Clemson in 2011, losing by a score of 4-1 to the fourth-ranked Tigers.
Wofford and Clemson enter their respective league schedules Friday in the Southern and Atlantic Coast conferences, so playing a game two days before might not be the ideal time to put any emphasis on the in-state matchup. The Terriers have a weekend series at Georgia Southern and the Tigers play at N.C. State.
"It's always good to play a great opponent going into conference play, especially when you're going into a tough place like Statesboro (Ga.) and a good team like Georgia Southern," Interdonato said. "I'm sure (Clemson coach Jack) Leggett is also more worried about the weekend. But we're certainly excited about going over there to play. Our kids are looking forward to it."
Wofford will start sophomore left-hander Dominick Del Monte in what will be the biggest outing of his young career. He pitched only 4 2/3 innings last season and this season has appeared in three games, starting one, with a 21.62 ERA. He has allowed nine hits and eight earned runs while recording 10 outs.
"We'll start with Dominick and then go with everybody else," Interdonato said. "With the big weekend ahead of us, we're probably going to use between seven and 10 pitchers."
Wofford right fielder Josh Hyman from Woodruff High School leads the Southern Conference in hitting with a .435 batting average and has already hit for the cycle in a game. Eric Brenk is batting .366, Alex Paradowski .343 and former Clemson player Seth Neely .326. He was a red-shirt for the Tigers in 2010 before transferring to Spartanburg Methodist and helping the Pioneers make it to the NJCAA World Series.

I have two processes, a producer and a consumer. IPC is done with OpenFileMapping/MapViewOfFile on Win32.
The producer receives video from another source, which it then passes over to the consumer and synchronization is done through two events.
For the producer:
Receive frame
Copy to shared memory using CopyMemory
Trigger DataProduced event
Wait for DataConsumed event
For the consumer
Indefinitely wait for DataProducedEvent
Copy frame to own memory and send for processing
Signal DataConsumed event
Without any of this, the video averages at 5fps. If I add the events on both sides, but without the CopyMemory, it's still around 5fps though a tiny bit slower. When I add the CopyMemory operation, it goes down to 2.5-2.8fps. Memcpy is even slower.
I find hard to believe that a simple memory copy can cause this kind of slowdown. Any ideas on a remedy?
Here's my code to create the shared mem:
HANDLE fileMap = CreateFileMapping(INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, 0, PAGE_READWRITE, 0, fileMapSize, L"foomap");
void* mapView = MapViewOfFile(fileMap, FILE_MAP_WRITE | FILE_MAP_READ, 0, 0, fileMapSize);
The size is 1024 * 1024 * 3
Edit - added the actual code:
On the producer:
void OnFrameReceived(...)
// get buffer
BYTE *buffer = 0;
// copy data to shared memory
CopyMemory(((BYTE*)mapView) + 1, buffer, length);
// signal data event
// wait for it to be signaled back!
WaitForSingleObject(dataConsumedEvent, INFINITE);
On the consumer:
while(WAIT_OBJECT_0 == WaitForSingleObject(dataProducedEvent, INFINITE))
Well, it seems that copying from the DirectShow buffer onto shared memory was the bottleneck after all. I tried using a Named Pipe to transfer the data over and guess what - the performance is restored.
Does anyone know of any reasons why this may be?
To add a detail that I didn't think was relevant before: the producer is injected and hooks onto a DirectShow graph to retrieve the frames.

In week three the Kiowa County Mavericks had trouble containing the combined passing and rushing power of Macksville Mustangs QB Tanner Tranbarger. They will face a similar challenge in week four, as they face a Kinsley Coyotes team that can win with a passing game, with a ground game or, more likely, with both.
The Mavericks will face a diverse offensive team in the Coach Jeff Chambers-led Coyotes, who, despite a losing record (1-2), have begun to click offensively.
The Coyotes are averaging about 250 passing yards and about 135 rushing yards per game, largely due to the tandem of senior QB #5 Nathan Frame and senior running back #20 Tyson Espinosa. Statistics for Kinsley's week three loss against Fairfield were unavailable.
Frame passed for 1,887 yards, second best in the league behind Macksville's Seth Filbert, averaging 235 yards per game during the 2011-2012 season, behind strong performances from receivers Levi Hirsh and #81 Gustavo Chavez.
This season Frame has already passed the 500-yard mark in passing and seems poised to improve on last year's offensive numbers, especially since Chavez has returned this season.
The Mavericks need to shut down Espinoza.
A triple threat, he is leading the team in rushing yards, he is second in pass reception and leads a top heavy Coyotes defense with 16 tackles. His diversity will cause problems for the Mavericks, if the Kiowa County defense can't contain him.
Last season he rushed for a team leading 549 yards, with four 50+ yard runs in six games. His 277 receiving yards also show that he has good hands and that Coach Chambers is not afraid to move him to where he is needed.
Wide receiver #34 Taylor Abel is also one to watch, as the strong number three man the 6' 155 lb senior rounds out a very diverse Coyotes offense.
Defensively, Kinsley is stacked with big men. Watch for 6'2" 270 lb lineman #74 Greg Newson, who can muscle his way into the backfield.
The Kiowa County Mavericks face the Kinsley Coyotes on Friday Sept. 21 in Kinsley.

WHEELING - The week between Christmas and New Year's Day is traditionally the busiest time of year for public ice skating at Wheeling Park's Memorial Skating Rink, according to Wheeling Park Operations Manager Nat Goudy.
While the storm that blanketed the Ohio Valley with snow and ice Wednesday curbed the crowd slightly, things began picking up again by Thursday afternoon, Goudy said.
"This is our week," said Goudy.

FUN ON THE ICE — Kids skated around the Wheeling Park Memorial Skating Rink earlier this week. This time of the year is said to be the rink's busiest time of the year.
He noted this is always the busiest time of year for the ice rink, partly because students are on break from school and people are visiting for the holidays.
"There are good crowds. ... The kids seem to be enjoying themselves, and a lot of families have been coming out on weekends," he added.
Michelle Romanek of Wheeling said while her daughter is often at the ice rink practicing her skills, both her son and daughter were just enjoying time with friends Thursday.
"My daughter plays hockey, so we're always skating here anyway," Romanek said, adding she has been bringing her children to the rink for the past eight seasons - since her daughter was only 4 years old.
Robert Martin of Wheeling said was just enjoying time with his family at the rink Thursday.
"My sister is in town, and I brought my two daughters, Emma and Opal. ... I bring them every couple of weeks," said Martin. "Opal has skated three times now, and today she did really well."
Wheeling native Nick Teufel, who now resides in Dallas, said he thought his five children would enjoy visiting the ice rink while they were in town for the holidays.
Goudy said the rink will stay open until the second Sunday in March.

Best PMP everIf you know the iphone 4G, this ipod is basically the iphone without the phone bit. If you can't spend the 35k for the iphone4,this is the best thing next to it...you might thought this 'ipod' is too costly and that you want a cheaper smart phone...that's a good thinking,but if you want a smartphone,that means you want applications...and there's no place more stacked than the App Store which you can browse in this ipod over wi-fi...it's got 2,50,000 applications which i don't think you can get to use all of them...c'mon,make up your mind and press the 'Buy This Now' button!!! ;)

Apple i Pod touch 4th Gen 8 GBI bought this from Flipkart for my Daughter as gift for New year in Dec 2011. The iPod just did not work properly as it was refusing to charge in spite of many efforts. I thought buying from this site ( Have bought many books ) will be a nice way for on line shopping .Apple is not living up to the reputation . My thought was to throw the thing away but I finally gave the iPod to the service center. They are casually saying that form ware or Battery would have some problem . I only hope anew one will be sent to me and my impression on the product may be become better.

Cera,Gentile blame Kasich
October 8, 2013
HANNIBAL - Legislators Lou Gentile and Jack Cera blame Ohio Gov....
They're Democrats, what else would you expect. Like their President, they always need to place blame. Could the truth be that Ormet simply was unable to complete in this Democrat controlled and created economic mess. They should be happy. After all AEP will now be producing less power which will result in less green house gas production. Isn't that the goal of their party?
2 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
the issue of aluminum production in this country is much more complex than the PUCO ruling, the Kasich administration, or failure to address this local challenge. aluminum production inthe entire US is NOT profitable at the present time and will require much more effort than AEP or the recent ruling.
4 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Cera and Gentile are a couple of EPA supporting obama finger puppet gasbags....just like Sherrod Brown.....shake your hand in the union hall...knife your back with their vote in D.C.

Perhaps the governor, some sunny Sunday morning should take a drive east on I-70, take a right at Bridgeport and drive south on Ohio 7 to Marietta crossover into West Virginia and return north to Wheeling on WV 2. While he is taking this pleasant trip along the river he could count the number of industries both existing and under construction ask himself why are there so many along the eastern shore and so few along the western shore?

Thoughtful is correct..most of the rest of you are part of our problems and will never be part of our solutions. it takes more than finger pointing and name calling to change things. I think most people regardless of party affiliation are tired of finger pointing and name calling.

Easy to blame others, less easy to come up with solutions. Politicians often choose the easy road. "A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds."

These comments are nothing more than political posturing. Forget the fact that President Obama's EPA have caused electricity rates to rise, particularly in Ohio. Forget the fact that several power plants have closed, again, mostly in Ohio, due to the policies of President Obama. All Messrs. Cera and Gentile have done is load their guns for re-election bids with half truths and unsubstantiated innuendo. What, if anything, did Cera and Gentile do to avoid this situation other than to run to the Governor and telling him that HE needed to do more? Let's also remember that for the past 30 years or so, if not longer, Ormet has been threatening to shut down if they don't get concessions. The fact of the matter is that Ormet has been in a downward spiral for a long time, as evidenced by the fact that they have several hundred persons already laid off. Should AEP raise rates on the other customers? My guess is that they will since they lost load and they also lost cash flow income.
