A Tucson-based environmental group plans to distribute 50,000 free condoms across the U.S. through the holiday season as part of a campaign aimed at calling attention to the impact of human population growth on wildlife.
The Center for Biological Diversity says that since its population awareness campaign began in 2009, the group has given out 450,000 free endangered species condoms, featuring pictures of polar bears, panthers and other threatened species.
This year's condom giveaway will focus on college health centers, nightclubs, women's groups and other activist organizations around the country.
The condoms help attract attention to the problem of how increasing human population is affecting wildlife, some already on the brink of extinction, said Jerry Karnas, the group's population campaign director.

In May 2014, MassDOT released weMove Massachusetts (WMM): Planning for Performance, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' 2040 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The report summarizes MassDOTs new approach to capital planning through the use of multi-modal scenario planning. The Planning for Performance tool currently calculates and compares state of good repair performance measures resulting from different funding levels for the Highway and the Rail and Transit Divisions. The tool was developed to be dynamic, allowing for it to be updated and expanded as better data and more refined performance measures become available.
WMM was built on extensive customer outreach that MassDOT started in the youMove Massachusetts (YMM) project. MassDOT conducted wider outreach to Environmental Justice and Title VI communities through the WMM process, and this outreach complemented the conversations MassDOT conducted at the same time as part of the Patrick Administration's transportation revenue proposals. The outreach confirmed the essential connection between transportation and growth. The Stakeholder Summary Report is available on the documents page.
In January and February of 2014, MassDOT convened a series of six public meetings to present both the weMove Massachusetts report and the MassDOT Capital Investment Plan. All comments that were received during the public comment period were addressed in the final version of the weMove Massachusetts report.
A second phase of WMM, completed in December of 2014, sought to ensure that MassDOT's policy initiatives would be an integral part of the capital planning decision making process. By analyzing our capital plan in terms of propensity for mode shift, greenhouse gas reduction, and healthcare savings, decision makers can better understand the potential impact of our various transportation investments. In the future, MassDOT will use Phase I of the tool in combination with Phase II to update and refine investment priorities across modes based on anticipated performance outcomes.
Seven major components contributed to building weMove Massachusetts, and they are listed below.

USC Dance Program: 'Come Dance With US(C)!'
The University of South Carolina Dance Program and will host "Come Dance With US(C)," a "FUNdraiser" for scholarships, April 30 in its new band/dance facility at 324 Sumter St.
Tickets for the 7 p.m. event are $100 per person or $150 for couples and are available by calling 803-777-1001. Free valet parking will be available courtesy of Southern Valet. Loosh Culinaire will cater the event. Cocktails and wine will be provided.
Attendees will be greeted at the door by break dancers and the tropical sounds of steel drummer Ryan Stokes of the S.C. Steel Band. They can then venture "backstage," touring the facility's three dance studios in which ballet, contemporary dance and the talents of children from the USC Dance Conservatory will be on display. A silent auction will feature artwork, vacation packages, jewelry and more.
"I wanted to set the tone and mood of a fun and diverse evening of dance performed by our 90 majors," said artistic director Susan Anderson. "I plan for our guests to experience a dance happening from the minute they enter."
The evening's main event will take place in the facility's performance hall and will feature the USC Dance Company displaying dance styles ranging from hip hop, contemporary and ballet.
In addition to dance students, scheduled main stage guest artists include the following:
• Local celebrity Susan Audé Fisher, who will dance a wheelchair-based tango;
• School of Music dean Tayloe Harding and head cheerleading coach Erika Goodwin, who will reprise their award-winning "Dancing With the Deans" swing routine;
• Jose de Guadelupe, a flamenco dancer from Greenville;
• Thaddeus Davis and Tanya Wideman-Davis of Columbia's contemporary dance troupe.
After the main performances, attendees are invited to dance to the sounds of local band "Heart 'N Soul."
All funds raised will support scholarships for new students in the program, which Anderson calls "the crown jewel in the world of dance in the Southeast."
For more information about the "Come Dance With US(C)" fundraiser, call Kevin Bush in the department of theatre and dance, 803-777-9353.

Some workers at the Port of Los Angeles went on strike at noon Tuesday, effectively shutting down operations at one of the port's busiest terminals.
Clerical workers at Pier 400 walked off the job to protest their inability to negotiate new contracts with terminal operators. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 63's Office Clerical Unit has been trying to negotiate a new agreement with 14 employers at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles since its last one expired on June 30, 2010.
Other bargaining units are honoring the strike, which is occurring only at Pier 400 in San Pedro, a Port of Los Angeles spokesman said. A Port of Long Beach spokesman said no terminals there were affected.
Craig Merrilees, a spokesman for the ILWU based in San Francisco, said he is not sure how long the strike will last or whether it will spread to other terminals at the Port of Los Angeles or to the Port of Long Beach, which together make up the largest port complex in the country.
Merrilees also said he does not know why the union chose Pier 400, but he said the clerical workers have similar complaints of all employers at both ports.
"Big companies are outsourcing good jobs that the harbor community needs and can't afford to lose," Merrilees said. "There have been talks for 2 1/2 years and companies continue to deny the outsourcing problem. The strike may cause them to look at this as a real problem instead of the fantasy they claim it is."
According to a union news release, terminal operators have eliminated 51 clerical jobs in the past five years.
Unlike other unions at the two ports, the clerical workers unit negotiates separate contracts with 14 companies, but officials say all employers generally agree to terms at roughly the same time.
Steve Getzug, a spokesman for the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Employers Association, called the strike a "disappointing development."
"The OCU has refused to address the needs of the employers," Getzug said in a statement. "Instead, they are pressing demands that would weaken competitiveness of the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports while rewarding and sustaining absenteeism and inefficiency. The OCU are already the highest paid clerical workers in America."
Port of Los Angeles spokesman Phillip Sanfield said port officials are urging the unions and management to come to an agreement.
"We know that both sides understand the critical importance of keeping cargo moving through the San Pedro complex, and we urge them to work diligently toward finding a mutually agreeable solution."

(Quote from BH Vineyard above)
That's me. I've been made of a fool many times by the PN's.
99% of lawyers give the rest of us a bad name.
Thanks for the update Tom. That helps me a lot.
Sometimes I read a thread and think we ran out of stuff to talk about like 4 years ago. ~spo
Tom -- Thanks for the post. It's always enjoyable to hear your thoughts/insights. The holidays and heavy business travel in December forced this to the back burner for me, but I haven't stopped thinking about it.
My recent travels have actually provided a perspective that I don't get (take advantage of, may be a better way to phrase it) in most years. Most restaurants have a meager -- if any -- Pinot Noir selection, which means that, if they do have something, it is most likely a large production, widely distributed wine. Since early December, I've had the 2010 Erath Oregon Pinot Noir in Savannah, the 2010 Argyle WV Pinot Noir in Allentown, and the 2010 Elk Cove WV Pinot Noir last night in Boston.
I don't have exact production figures, but these are several of the larger production Pinot Noir bottlings in Oregon. Thus, by definition, they offer perspective into the vintage. The bottom line, IMHO, is that these three entry level, large production, wines are quite respectable. Mind boggling good? No. Will I be buying these three for my own celler. No. (I never have and don't plan to start now -- it's not just a 2010 'thing'.) But, I was very happy to be able to purchase Pinot Noir that provided this level of enjoyment at a restaurant. And the big picture is that, if the entry level wines are respectible, then the higher quality wines have the potential to be very good, as I have already noted.
I'm definately looking forward to tasting the 2010 Le Cadeau line up.
I got to taste the 2010 St Innocent Villages Cuvee, Temperence Hill, Zenith and Justice and all showed very well. Alot of acidity and good depth for a cool vintage.This message has been edited. Last edited by: mpls wine guy,
+1 to what Sharkey said. I am still interested in researching the 2010 Oregon Vintage, but the holidays kind of got in the way. Since my last TN post, I have had the Shea Estate (my least favorite Shea that I can remember), Big Table Farm Catrall (weird popcorn aroma - ? flawed) and retried the Domaine Drouhin (which is outstanding). I agree that there is a lot of similarity to 07, but there seems to be more incosistancy (at least in my small sampling). I will continue to try them as they hit the market and will purchase some of the ones I like for cellaring.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Red guy in a blue state,
Sometimes I read a thread and think we ran out of stuff to talk about like 4 years ago. ~spo
Last night we had the 2010 Penner-Ash Shea Vineyard, and I posted a tasting note. Loved it.
Have popped 2010 Bergstrom Bergstrom and 2010 St. Innocent Shea, both wonderful wines. The Bergstrom was a dead-ringer for Grand Cru Burgundy. The St. Innocent was a bit lighter but still outstanding. As a Burgundy lover I am now turned onto Oregon. My tastes run right to what this Bergstrom is showing, so I imagine I'd like the heavier producers in lighter years and the lighter producers in heavier years. (Can't stand Cali Pinot BTW, with very few exceptions.)
In the last week, I've opened . . .
2010 Cameron Dundee Hills Pinot Noir
2010 Matello Durant Vineyard Pinot Noir
Both were very enjoyable.
I have tried several St. Innocent 2010's.....Absolutely loved them. Especially the Momtazi.
Agree that 2010's are for those who like their Pinots more restrained. If you favor the Cali-style, 2006 and 2009 are more your speed.
It was a good Father's Day:
2010 Thomas Pinot Noir
2010 Bell Pente Murto Vineyard Pinot Noir
Both young, as expected, but oh so good.
Nice! I wish there was a "shaking fist" emoticon.
Roses are red, soylent is green. Head to the bunker, it's 2017.
If it's any consolation, it wasn't my Thomas. I have a standing rule of not refusing other people's Thomas, when they open it.
Remind me the next time we're together. I'd be more than happy to open a Thomas for you.
Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone.
MyBlog @ www.wineismylife.net
How ready is the Thomas? I have 3 750s and 1 1.5L. It will be my first experience with his wine.
If you're young and conservative, you have no heart. If you're old and liberal, you have no brain.
Apostrophes don't make things plural.
Is there an 'official' way to get on the Thomas mailing/wait list? I've heard so many great things and how hard it is to source, and have searched online unsucessfully as well.
Basically you call his answering machine and leave a message with your details and then wait.
Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone.
MyBlog @ www.wineismylife.net
I physically mailed him a letter with my information. I received an offer just a few months later.
I'm happy to post the address here if you'd like it.
If you're young and conservative, you have no heart. If you're old and liberal, you have no brain.

Nolan - was this where you mailed it?
Thomas Winery PO Box 48 Carlton OR 97111 Tel: 503-852-6969
I was surprised at how accessible the Thomas was. Those who tried it on release (8 months ago) said that it was, not surprisingly, very angular. It is young and primary; however, based on the experience with this bottle, I wouldn't try to convince you not to open one of the 750's now. Though, it will probably be 2 years -- 5 years from vintage date -- before I open one of my own 2010 Thomas's. Forget about opening the mag for now.
That is the address I used. Don't remember what phone number I called (to ask if he accepted money orders) as it was printed on the allocation card.
If you're young and conservative, you have no heart. If you're old and liberal, you have no brain.
Apostrophes don't make things plural.
I had the Shea Block 23 tonight. I thought it was gorgeous but my DW thought it was too earthy so I won't be getting more.
There's not a lot of 2010 around here now. Not sure if it was on the shelves and I missed it?
"Wine, one sip of this will bathe the drooping spirits in delight beyond the bliss of dreams. Be wise and taste."
- Milton
The Sheas on shelves right now are probably the '11s.
I'm surprised the Block 23 came across as earthy.
The 23 is all Pommard, and is about as cherry centric as they come. The Block 7 is much more earthy and savory.
I'm keeping the corks in my '10s, and only try them when served at a winery or tasting room. They are drinkable, but way, way young. There are '09s still available for those who like full bodied Pinots, and '07s at a discount who go for lighter, more elegant wines.
Yeh, but they are sooooo tasty! It's hard to keep my paws off of them.
I found an Ann Amie 2010 on the shelf and tried it. It was nice. I'll get more.

SA, Texas, Expected to Show Sharp Gains When Population Figures are Released on Monday
The population of San Antonio is expected to clock in at 1,382,000 when the Census Bureau announces 2013 population estimates on Monday. That compares to 1,324,000 in the 2010 Census. That's an increase of 1.7% in three years.
That figure will keep San Antonio the country's seventh largest city, just ahead of San Diego, which experienced slower growth in the past three years at 1.1%.
Phoenix, which is the country's sixth largest city, also experienced slower growth than San Antonio in the last three years, at 1.4%, but Phoenix will remain number six, and Philadelphia, despite holding steady, will remain the country's fifth largest city.
The real growth has been in Austin, which will be up an amazing 2.7% from the 2010 census, with an anticipated population of 842,000. That will make Austin the 11th largest city in the country, ahead of Jacksonville at number 12 and just behind number ten San Jose, which has also seen sharp growth in the past three years.
The Texas population is expected to have surpassed 26 million, a 3.6% increase from the 2010 Census, when the population was about 25.1 million.
Texas will remain the second most populous state in the country, behind only California. But number three is expected to change, as Florida is expected to surpass New York to become the country's third largest state.

Paul McCartney makes top five in 'Rolling Stone's' Best Albums list
Listen to Paul McCartney on iHeartRadio
Paul McCartney is getting new praise for his latest album, New. The disc makes the top five in "Rolling Stone's" list of the 50 Best Albums of 2013, landing at number four.
The publication says the rock legend "plays to his strengths" on the project, which includes "Wings-like glam rock" and "some remarkably Beatlesque pop tunes."
But Sir Paul isn't the only veteran rocker on the list - or in the top ten. John Fogerty's Wrote a Song For Everyone has the number ten spot. The set features collaborative remakes of material spanning Fogerty's catalog, and "Rolling Stone" says it shows "how vital and relevant his songwriting remains."
Others on the list include David Bowie's The Next Day, which is at number 15, and Elton John's The Diving Board, which has the number 25 spot.
Topping the rundown is Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires of the City.

Banana-tossing Giants fan comes forward
A San Francisco Giants fan stepped forward on Monday, claiming responsibility for tossing a banana on the field Sunday and drawing the ire of Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones.
The fan — identified by the San Jose Mercury News as Alexander Poulides — says the incident wasn't racially motivated as most, including Big League Stew, interpreted. Tossing bananas at black players isn't something we see often in America, but it's a well-known sign of racism at European soccer matches.
But Poulides tells the Merc's Daniel Brown it was a frustrated toss by a frustrated Giants fan upset by a season that gets more frustrating by the game for the defending world champs. According to the story, Poulides discovered on Monday morning that his banana toss had become a big deal and "his heart sank."
"Oh, my god,'' Poulides said. "I threw a banana on my way out."
Poulides, 42, said he grabbed a banana off a catering cart and hurled it toward the field in disgust at the Giants near the end of a 10-2 loss at AT&T Park on Sunday. The banana apparently sailed toward Jones, who tweeted about the incident after the game ...
Above all, Poulides stressed repeatedly that the incident was not a racially motivated, as some had speculated. He was upset at the Giants, not Jones.
"I'm embarrassed and shocked by the outcome,'' the Northern California resident said. "In hindsight, I wish I didn't do it and I apologize. I'm very sorry."
The Giants also issued an apology saying the team had a "a zero tolerance policy against this type of behavior." It had not, at the time, identified the fan in question.
The whole story sounds like something of the Larry David universe: Guy gets upset at favorite baseball team. Guy tosses nearest fruit onto the field as he storms out of the stadium. Guy learns the next day he's been pegged as a racist. Can't you just see an exasperated George Costanza explaining the story of how he became an accidental racist? (We're not talking about you, Brad Paisley)

MSNBC's Crowley distorted 9-11 report in interview with right-wing "terrorism expert"
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
Monica Crowley, who recently joined MSNBC as a contributor and analyst after eight years at FOX News Channel, misrepresented the findings of the 9-11 Commission in an effort to justify her support for a controversial national database that would track college students and maintain personal information about them, including Social Security numbers, credit hours accumulated and financial aid information.
Filling in for host Joe Scarborough on MSNBC's Scarborough Country, during an interview with MSNBC terrorism analyst Steve Emerson -- a former journalist who has received funding from right-wing financier Richard Mellon Scaife -- Crowley stated that "I do think there's a reason" to create the database, then falsely asserted that "the 9-11 report indicated that our colleges and universities may in fact be breeding grounds for terrorism, for terrorists and terrorist activity."
From the November 29 edition of Scarborough Country:
CROWLEY: Let me pick on that, because I do think that there is a reason. And let me go to Steve Emerson on this, because, Steve you've done some great work on terrorism. And I want to deal with the national security angle of this story with you. The 9-11 Commission -- and we just heard from Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton on this -- the 9-11 report indicated that our colleges and universities may in fact be breeding grounds for terrorism, for terrorists and terrorist activity. Have we seen terrorist recruiting on our campuses? What have you found?
But the comments of 9-11 Commission chairman Thomas Kean and vice chairman Lee Hamilton aired in video clips during the program made no mention of terrorist recruitment on college campuses:
KEAN: We know there's another attack coming. You and I can't say if it's next week or six months from now, but it's coming.
HAMILTON: There's isn't any doubt the hijackers used the state driver's licenses to get by a lot of checkpoints. So standards are important here.
And the 9-11 Commission Report offers no indication "that our colleges and universities may in fact be breeding grounds for terrorism, for terrorists and terrorist activity." A search of the report for the words "college," "campus," "university," or "breeding ground" reveals no part of the report that supports Crowley's characterization.
Nonetheless, Emerson responded by agreeing that "terrorists have recruited," but he offered no evidence to support Crowley's contention that recruitment has occurred on college campuses or that they may be "a breeding ground for terrorism." On August 5, Media Matters for America noted that Emerson was discredited in a 1999 Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting article that documented his checkered journalistic history:
A closer look at Emerson's career suggests his priority is not so much news as it is an unrelenting attack against Arabs and Muslims. ... A New York Times review (5/19/91) of his 1991 book Terrorist chided that it was "marred by factual errors...and by a pervasive anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian bias." His 1994 PBS video, Jihad in America (11/94), was faulted for bigotry and misrepresentations. ... Emerson's most notorious gaffe was his claim that the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing showed "a Middle Eastern trait" because it "was done with the intent to inflict as many casualties as possible." (CBS News, 4/19/95) Afterward, news organizations appeared less interested in Emerson's pronouncements. A CBS contract expired and wasn't renewed. ... "He's poison," says investigative author Seymour Hersh, when asked about how Emerson is perceived by fellow journalists. ... He has received funding from [right-wing financier Richard Mellon] Scaife.
Monica Crowley was previously a political contributor for FOX News Channel. She also hosts a talk show on New York radio station WABC.

U. of Phoenix sets
leaders workshop
The University of Phoenix will host a free "Transformational Leadership Workshop" Thursday evening, offering resources to strengthen an individual's skills and information that can help organizations survive. The workshop, from 6 to 8:30 p.m., is at 5373 S. Green Street, Room 105, Salt Lake City. For information, go to www.phoenix.edu/startleading.
Cisco's 3Q profit
takes big jump
Cisco said its net income rose 14 percent in its third quarter, and reported it is seeing "some good signs" in the U.S. and in markets abroad. The maker of computer networking equipment, viewed as a technology industry bellwether, earned $2.48 billion, or 46 cents per share. Revenue increased 5 percent, to $12.22 billion from $11.59 billion.
Inflation slows,
data indicate
Sharp drops in fuel and food costs reduced a measure of wholesale prices last month by the most since February 2010, indicating inflation has slowed. The Labor Department says the producer price index, which measures price changes before they reach the consumer, fell 0.7 percent in April from March. It was the second straight decline. Gas prices dropped 6 percent, food prices 0.8 percent.
cut production
U.S. manufacturers reined in production in April by 0.4 percent, the third decline in four months. Auto companies cranked out fewer cars, while other factories made fewer consumer goods. Total industrial production, which includes output at factories, mines and utilities, fell 0.5 percent last month, the biggest setback since August. The weakness suggests economic growth is slowing.
Macy's 1Q profit
jumps 20 percent
Macy's earned $217 million, or 55 cents per share, in the quarter ended May 4, up from $181 million, or 43 cents per share, a year ago. Revenue rose 4 percent, to $6.38 billion. A standout among its peers throughout the economic recovery, Macy's has benefited from its move to tailor merchandise to local markets.
Foreign U.S. debt
holdings increase
Foreign demand for U.S. Treasury securities rose to a record level in March, even though China, the largest foreign holder of Treasury debt, reduced its holdings slightly. The overall increase indicated that foreign investors remain confident in holding U.S. debt.
Deere profit up
after price hikes
Deere & Co. said its second-quarter net income rose almost 3 percent as it raised prices and the farm economy continued to be strong. Deere, which makes farm tractors, as well as construction equipment, earned $1.08 billion, or $2.76 per share, for its most recent quarter. That was up from $1.06 billion, or $2.61 per share, during the same period last year.

i know it's fairy straightforward, but does anyone think it would be helpful if i wrote a guide on how to triple boot osx, xp, and bt3 on an intel mac? (refit)
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
I would love you forever if you did. For some reason I cannot get BT3 to install on my mac at all. Sda3 errors. Ah well. Maybe this will give me something else to fail at.
alright I'll get started on it then
Thank you very much im about to kill something that I love over this failed install on my part.
what steps did you do so far? maybe i can help out
I'm almost afraid to post the same issue in here because I've mentioned it in other threads.
But its with the singular install of BT3 and osx on my MB.
Im having issues with lilo
here is the link
If it takes me having to put xp on my MB to get BT3 running I will do it though.
i used part of those steps while installing BT3 (on a macbook too) and it has worked fine for me.
the error is displayed after you pick BT3 as the OS, right?
actually this happens when im still installing bt3 from shell after booting into it via the live cd.
The first go around.
I never can get past that step.

IRVING, TX -- Second quarter profit climbed 78% for CEC Entertainment, parent of the Chuck E. Cheese's family entertainment chain. Profit rose to $7.2 million during the quarter ending June 30, up from $4.1 million during the same period a year ago.
Revenue increased 5.2% to $191.9 million from $182.4 million for the second quarter of 2012. The company attributed the increase primarily to a 2.9% increase in same-store sales and revenue from new store development.
Net income for the first six months of 2013 increased 11.3%, or $4.1 million, to $40.5 million from $36.4 million year over year. For the six-month period, total revenues increased 4.2%, or $18 million, to $447.2 million, up from $429.2 million for the first six months of 2012.
"We believe that we have developed a solid plan to increase comparable store sales, grow our concept with both domestic and international new locations and improve our profitability," said Michael Magusiak, president and chief executive of CEC Entertainment. "Our team is focused and dedicated to executing and continuously improving our strategy."
The company stood by its projection for comparable store sales of 1.5% to 2.5% for fiscal 2013. It increased its diluted earnings per share guidance to be in a range of $2.90 to $3.05.
The Irving, TX-based company reported first-quarter net income of $33.3 million, or $1.90 a share, up 3% from $32.3 million, or $1.81 per share, last year. | SEE STORY

Children & Youth: Building tomorrow today
As young people mature, the decisions they make have an enormous impact on their families, their communities and our world. But growing up surrounded by poverty, war or in the aftermath of disaster increases their risks and limits their choices.
That's why giving children and youth the right support at this most critical time is essential to building tomorrow's strong, productive communities.
When disaster strikes, young children are especially vulnerable to developing emotional and social problems that can jeopardize their futures. Mercy Corps worked with experts to design our signature Comfort for Kids program that helps children process their trauma and recover through play, sports and art activities. See our expert's recommendations for how parents and caregivers can help children through times of crisis ▸
For adolescents faced with violence, early marriage and interruptions to schooling, we provide opportunities for community involvement, vocational training and life skills development. Our goal is to empower youth in the toughest places to make smart life choices and invest their energy in developing solutions to their countries' biggest challenges.

ST. LOUIS – After working for months to develop an educational series aimed at professionals interested in the LEED New Construction (NC) rating system, Vertegy has confirmed that the first course in its LEED 2009 NC Project Execution series, titled "LEED 2009 NC Project Execution: Materials & Resources," has been approved as high-quality green building education by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). With the successful approval of the course, Vertegy has now earned recognition as a USGBC Education Provider.
"Education Providers play a pivotal role by working with USGBC to provide green building professionals with diverse continuing education they need to grow their knowledge and their careers," says Rebecca Flora, USGBC's senior vice president for education and research. "Anyone interested in broadening and deepening their understanding of green building theory, techniques and trends will benefit from the diverse and quality course offerings from USGBC and its Education Providers."
Before receiving approval from the USGBC, "LEED 2009 NC Project Execution: Materials & Resources" went through a rigorous review process in which a team of third-party subject matter experts evaluated it for content and instructional design quality. The 300-level course is focused toward professionals working in the green building industries who need to know the proper techniques in executing and documenting the credits found in the Materials and Resources category of the LEED 2009 for New Construction rating system. Specifically, the course will cover how the Materials and Resources credits are identified in a typical project specification, the requirements of the prerequisite and each of the credits found in this category and the proper way to document these credits. This information incorporates details from actual LEED certified projects, giving real-world examples in the application of strategies used to achieve the associated credits.
With approval by USGBC, "LEED 2009 NC Project Execution: Materials & Resources" will now help LEED professionals satisfy their Credentialing Maintenance Program requirements from the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI). The course is worth three GBCI Continuing Education credit hours by USGBC.
"Growing up as a contractor and always having a love for the construction industry, I realize how important it is that contractors and other construction professionals are well-prepared for the future," notes Thomas Taylor, general manager of Vertegy. "The new curriculum outlined in 'LEED 2009 NC Project Execution: Materials & Resources' will ensure that these individuals are well-versed on how the LEED Materials and Resources credits are identified in new construction so that they can successfully focus on achieving the sustainability goals of both themselves and their clients."
This isn't the first time Vertegy has been recruited to develop curriculum material related to the LEED rating system. The company has also collaborated with the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) to develop a course geared to contractors working on LEED NC projects. Vertegy has also developed a curriculum specifically for those preparing for their LEED Green Associate exam.
Founded in February 2005, Vertegy provides clients with design, procurement and construction consulting services for green and sustainable facilities. One of the key ways Vertegy serves clients is by helping them gain certification for their projects from various nationally and internationally recognized certification bodies, such as the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), which provides LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification. Vertegy—which is derived from combining the Latin root for green and strategy—is based in St. Louis at the LEED Platinum Alberici headquarters. For more information, call (314) 733-2666 or visit www.vertegyconsultants.com.

There are several possibilities that your cake is cracking on the edges. Frequently opening an oven door while the cake is baking may be one. Or, your cake may be overbaking. Check the oven temperature (they tend to get hotter as they get older), with an accurate oven thermometer set in the center of the oven for 10 minutes after preheating, to make sure it's the temperature the recipe calls for. Finally, covering your cake with a dish towel while it is cooling in the pan may also help prevent cracks.

How did you installed the multiboot? The order..Ex. first W7, then BT5 and then Ubuntu...Did you use ext4 file system for BT5?...Are you using the same swap partition for the linux distros?
Backtrack 5 R3 KDE 32bit, installed on multi boot laptop with win7, Ubuntu 10.10 and Backtrack 5 R3. I am using the implementation of grub built in to Ubuntu 10.10 to boot all three operating systems. The hardware is an Acer aspire 4250. The hang occures during Backtrack startup. I select bactrack from the grub minu, it boots, I see the splash screen ( the more you hear etc), then screen goes back to scrolling text until login appears. At this point, if I let the system sit for about 15 seconds it hangs. If I try to log in, it hangs. If I connect the laptop to the internet with a cat5 in the RJ45 socket, or if I just plug the system into an unused Cisco switch, Backtrak boots and runs normally. I think the problem is connected to the wired network drivers. Does anyone have a clue?
BTW BT 5 R3 is the only OS that manifests this behavior. My enchant Ubuntu distro and my game boot loader (microsoft windows) both boot and run without a problem.

Win 7 was installed first, then Ubuntu 10.10 was installed, BT 5 was installed last. Once BT was up and running, I reinstalled the boot block with Ubuntu version of grub. Same swap is used for both Linux systems. Both Linux systems are using ext4. Do you think the common swap could be the problem?

Celeb Gossip: Top Picks
Taylor Lautner shows off his pecs in "New Moon" trailer, Michael Jackson to be buried on his birthday, Jenny Sanford gets candid and more
-Carolyn French
Twilight hottie Taylor Lautner gives fans a little taste of what's to come in a second trailer for New Moon, which was released late last week.
The chiseled 17-year-old, who had to gain 30 pounds for the film, narrates the gripping preview as scenes from the upcoming installment keep us glued to our screens (hello, he's shirtless!).
"New Moon is a lot more complicated than Twilight was," Taylor says. "As time goes on, the heat starts building. New Moon is going to be stepped up a whole other notch. There's going to be a lot more action, especially with the werewolves involved."
It goes without saying that we adore Robert Pattinson, but we're beginning to drool over his gorgeous co-star a bit more these days!
Next: Michael Jackson to be buried on his birthday

More miscellaneous ramblings
In honor of Mailman reminder day — and I know everyone got their monthy reminders today from the various mailing lists that you all belong to — I thought I'd shock everyone by not going six months before blogging again.
Since my mailing list memberships are a smorgasbord of different Free/Open Source Software topics, I'm just going to take this opportunity to catch up on a few — OK, several — topics which I should have touched on over the past few months. Like:
It might work better this way: One day while Mirano and I found we had some time to kill and found ourselves close to a Best Buy (lucky us), we got to give the iPad a try. As some of you know, my distaste is legendary for netbooks and any other technology that's, well, hard to physically handle. Such is the case with the iPad and, at one point, I was unable to clear the screen. So I instinctively shook it like an Etch-a-Sketch, but bear in mind that doesn't work. Darling daughter came to the rescue, pushing a big-as-life button on the front to get back to the desktop. I still like the prospect of shaking it like an Etch-a-Sketch to bring it back to the desktop, but I am sure that this is not forthcoming from Apple.
Small, but informative: I didn't comment on this either way, but the MySQL conference earlier this month in Santa Clara — held under the ominous shadow of the purchase of Sun by a huge database conglomerate whose CEO is also named Larry — was a lot smaller than in years past. Nevertheless, it was a pretty informative event. Working the Entrance booth with Tod Landis and Chris Busick, a few laps around the floor garnered an education in the latest database developments — but don't ask me to repeat them. It was great to see MariaDB's Kurt von Finck once again, as well as to talk to the MariaDB folks about their project, now that MySQL may be in peril.
The definition of insanity . . . : SCO's at it again. They lost by judge (Dale Kimball's summary judgment ruling) and they lost by jury just recently. Groklaw reported last week that SCO is behaving in the same way expecting a different result by filing papers that, according to The Register's description, "saying the jury hearing its case over whether SCO owned the Unix copyright, and that found for Novell last month, was either too stupid, too confused or too distracted to grasp the compelling power of its evidence." Puh-leeze.
Visiting an old friend: When I first converted to FOSS back in 2006 (has it been that long?), I was a regular visitor to Distrowatch; regular visitor as in my morning ritual would include coffee, boot the computer, go to Distrowatch (and then LXer.com), read and sometimes download. I went to the site again for the first time in several months to find it comfortably familiar in look, but with a number of distros I hadn't heard of before, like Chakra, EasyPeasy, blackPanther, moonOS and ZevinOS, for starters. If ever I have time again, I should download some of them and give them a shot.
More to follow. Watch this space.

Appendix B. Methodology with the Tornqvist Index
Appendix B.Methodology with the Tornqvist Index
Multifactor productivity is the ratio of the output index to a weighted average of the input indexes. A Tornqvist formula expresses the change in multifactor productivity as the difference between the rate of change in output and the weighted average of the rates of change in the inputs. Let:
Ln = the natural logarithm of a variable
A = multifactor productivity
Q = output
I = combined input
K = capital input
L = labor input
M = intermediate input
Wk = the average share of capital cost in total cost in two adjacent periods
Wl = the average share of labor cost in total cost in two adjacent periods
Wm = the average share of intermediate input cost in total cost in two adjacent periods,
The change in the multifactor productivity is then:
A multifactor productivity index can be further developed by calculating the antilogs of ∆LnA, chaining up the resulting annual rates of change, and expressing the resulting series as a percentage of a selected base year. Equivalently, the change in the multifactor productivity can be directly expressed as At / At-1 = (Qt / Qt-1) / (It / It-1). Again, At / At-1 can be chained over time and converted into an index number.
All variables, except for cost shares, are in the form of a constant dollar quantity index. The output quantity index is usually derived by deflating the industry output in current dollars by an appropriate price index when the industry output is a single measure. When an industry produces multiple products and the output measure of each individual product is available, such individual outputs may be deflated separately by more detailed price indexes. In that case, the total output quantity index can be derived through a Tornqvist aggregation such as:
(3) ,
where Qi is the output of the ith product, and wi is the average share of the ith product in the total output.

Aspergillosis - chest x-ray
Aspergillosis - chest x-ray
Aspergillosis is a fungal infection. The fungus invades and destroys tissue. This type of infection usually occurs in immunocompromised individuals. Here, a chest x-ray shows that the fungus has invaded the lung tissue. The lungs are usually seen as black areas on an x-ray. The cloudiness on the left side of this x-ray is caused by the fungus.

WP_Ajax_Response is WordPress' class for generating XML-formatted responses to Ajax requests. This is most commonly used to generate responses to custom AJAX actions when using the wp_ajax_ action hook.
To use WP_Ajax_Response, you need to instantiate the class with an array of options, then call the instances
send() method to output the response.
The options array takes the following key=>value pairs:
false by default, but you can alternatively provide an integer for the previous id, if needed.
<supplemental> element. Keys become element names, and values are embedded in CDATA within those elements. Useful for passing additional information to the browser.
Responses are made in the XML-RPC format and may be handled by JavaScript.
A typical WordPress autosave response looks like this:
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?> <wp_ajax> <response action='autosave_1'> <autosave id='1' position='1'> <response_data> <![CDATA[Draft saved at 9:31:55 pm.]]> </response_data> <supplemental></supplemental> </autosave> </response> </wp_ajax>
Let's break this example down to see what it means:
<wp_ajax> element.
<response>, which contains the attributes 'action' and 'position'. These attributes correspond to the 'action' and 'position' key=>value pairs defined in the options array.
<autosave> element - this element matches the value of the 'what' key=>value pair in the options array. In your own use, this element can be named whatever you like, provided it is a valid XML element name.
<autosave>), there will either be a
<response_data> element (with CDATA tag) or a
<wp_error_data> element. If you pass a WP_Error object to WP_Ajax_Response as the 'id' in your options array, the
<wp_error_data> element is automatically generated. Otherwise, the
<response_data> element is used with whatever value you passed to WP_Ajax_Response with your option array's "data" value.
<supplemental> element will contain whatever arbitrary structure you decide to pass along with your option array's "supplemental" key=>value pair.
This demonstrates a typical response. The first code block shows the PHP required to create a simple response. The second code block shows the generated XML.
$response = array( 'what'=>'foobar', 'action'=>'update_something', 'id'=>'1', 'data'=>'
Hello world!
' ); $xmlResponse = new WP_Ajax_Response($response); $xmlResponse->send();
The above example would output the following XML:
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?> <wp_ajax> <response action='update_something_1'> <foobar id='1' position='1'> <response_data><![CDATA[
Hello world!
]]></response_data> <supplemental></supplemental> </foobar> </response> </wp_ajax>
This demonstrates a typical error response. The first code block shows the PHP required to generate such a response, and the second code block shows the generated XML output. Note that you can just as easily give your response an id of
0 instead of generating a new WP_Error. The choice is up to you.
$response = array( 'what'=>'stuff', 'action'=>'delete_something', 'id'=>new WP_Error('oops','I had an accident.'), 'data'=>'Whoops, there was a problem!' ); $xmlResponse = new WP_Ajax_Response($response); $xmlResponse->send();
The above example would output the following XML:
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?> <wp_ajax> <response action='delete_something_0'> <stuff id='0' position='1'> <wp_error code='oops'><![CDATA[I had an accident.]]></wp_error> <supplemental></supplemental> </stuff> </response> </wp_ajax>
Note how this response completely disregards our 'data' value.

MANCHESTER, NH - Franklin Pierce University students had the opportunity to participate in New Hampshire's First in the Nation Presidential Primary, serving as pundits, pollsters, podcasters, video technicians and as contributors to YouTube's political footage. Student efforts were affirmed by the presidential candidates and their campaigns (who granted access and interviews), by the mainstream media (who treated student reporters and technicians as professional peers) and by web-based media including YouTube (whose political editor praised the video footage provided by the University and its fast turnaround time).
[View the students' video coverage on YouTube.]
"I don't know of any other college or university across the state that had the number of reporters getting up close to the candidates, asking questions and generating the volume of coverage that we produced," said junior Steven Dodrill, who served as the Pierce Media Group's political reporter and director of Fitzwater Connections. Fitzwater Connections is the program at the Marlin Fitzwater Center for Communication at Franklin Pierce that focuses on political coverage of the 2008 Presidential Campaign.
In the course of the past year, Franklin Pierce students tracked the political winds, participated in professional polling, and followed presidential hopefuls around the state. Students also engaged in robust debate - and asked tough questions - when candidates visited campus. The flurry of activity preceding the primary included capturing hundreds of hours of video and audio, crafting hundreds of words into stories, sending countless e-mails, and building solid relationships with campaign staff and local media.
On the day of the primary, students arranged space at Franklin Pierce University's Manchester Center to serve as news production headquarters. The set-up was complete with a video editing suite, a set for filming interviews, an assignment desk and a whiteboard where students scribbled furiously to record unfolding events and keep track of teams of reporters.
Under the leadership of Dr. Kristen Nevious, director of the Fitzwater Center, and utilizing the training they received through Fitzwater Center programs, they sought and obtained press credentials and fanned into the streets of Manchester and surrounding towns. The region had become the focal point for candidates and media from across the nation, and students had little trouble finding candidates and analysts to interview. Their hard work paid off in several significant accomplishments.
Dr. Nevious praised the students for their work and said she looked forward to working with them on continuing political coverage as the general election approaches. "The Fitzwater Center and the university couldn't be more proud of your contributions to the robust debate that is so essential to a healthy democracy," she said. "Our country's future is in good hands."

Symptoms of dry soil-induced potassium deficiency
Extension field specialists have reported that potassium (K) deficiency symptoms are beginning to be observed on corn in east central Iowa. These symptoms are yellowing of the leaf margins of the older (bottom) leaves. The yellowing begins at the leaf tip and extends down the margins toward the stalk. In most cases, a soil test shows adequate to high levels of K. These symptoms can occur after a prolonged dry spell and usually are observed first in ridge-tillage systems and then no-till. If the dry conditions last long enough, we will see it in all tillage systems.
K deficiency symptoms develop because plants cannot extract K from the dry surface soil. This is compounded in soils that have very low subsoil K, like many soils in east central Iowa. If we get into a more normal rainfall pattern the plants will recover with little or no loss of yield.
