Extra! Extra!
The future of newspapers.

Somewhere in the forest, a tree is cut down. It is loaded onto a giant truck and hauled a vast distance to a factory, where the trees are turned into huge rolls of paper. These rolls are loaded onto another truck and hauled another vast distance to another factory, where the rolls of paper are covered in ink, chopped up, folded, stacked, tied, and loaded onto a third set of trucks, which fan out across cities and regions dropping bundles here and there.
Printing plants no longer have the clickety-clack of linotype machines and bubbling vats of molten lead. The letterpress machines that stamped the ink on the paper have been supplanted by offset presses that transfer it gently. There is computer-controlled this and that. Nevertheless, the process remains highly physical, mechanical, complicated, and noisy. As we live through the second industrial revolution, your daily newspaper remains a tribute to the wonders of the first one.
Meanwhile, back to those bundles. Some of them are opened and the newspapers are put, one-by-one, into plastic bags. Bagged or unbagged, they are loaded onto a fourth set of vehicles—bicycles by legend, usually these days a car or small truck—and flung individually into your bushes or at your cat. Other bundles go to retail establishments. Still other newspapers are locked into attractive metal boxes bolted into the sidewalk. Anyone who is feeling lucky and happens to possess the exact change has a decent shot at obtaining a paper or, for the same price, carting away a dozen.
What happens next is aided by a flat surface, especially on a Sunday near Christmas. The proud owner of up to four or five pounds of paper and ink begins searching for the parts he or she wants. The paper has multiple sections, each of which is either folded into others or wrapped around others according to an ancient formula known only to newspaper publishers and designed to guarantee that no one section can either be found on the first go-through or removed without putting half a dozen other sections into play. Newspaper-industry regulations do not require any particular labeling system for sections, but they do require that if letters are used, the sections cannot be in alphabetical order.
And so, at last, there are two piles of paper: a short one of stuff to read, and a tall one of stuff to throw away. Unfortunately, many people are taking the logic of this process one step further. Instead of buying a paper in order to throw most of it away, they are not buying it in the first place.
Bill Gates says that in technology things that are supposed to happen in less than five years usually take longer than expected, while things that are supposed to happen in more than 10 years usually come sooner than expected. Ten years ago, when I went to work for Microsoft, the newspaper industry was in a panic over something called Sidewalk—a now-forgotten Microsoft project to create Web site entertainment guides for a couple dozen big cities. Newspapers were convinced that Microsoft could and would put them out of business by stealing their ad base. It didn't happen. The collapse of the Internet bubble did happen. And, until very recently, the newspapers got complacent. Some developed good Web sites, some didn't, but most stopped thinking of the Web as an imminent danger.
Ten years later, newspapers are starting to panic again. But merely slobbering after bloggers may not be enough. In 1996, the oldest Americans who grew up with computers and don't even understand my tiresome anecdotes about how people used to resist them ("What's a typewriter, Mike?") were just entering adulthood. Now they are most of the working population, or close to it.
The trouble even an established customer will take to obtain a newspaper continues to shrink, as well. Once, I would drive across town if necessary. Today, I open the front door and if the paper isn't within about 10 feet I retreat to my computer and read it online. Only six months ago, that figure was 20 feet. Extrapolating, they will have to bring it to me in bed by the end of the year and read it to me out loud by the second quarter of 2007.
No one knows how all this will play out. But it is hard to believe that there will be room in the economy for delivering news by the Rube Goldberg process described above. That doesn't mean newspapers are toast. After all, they've got the brand names. You gotta trust something called the "Post-Intelligencer" more than something called "Yahoo!" or "Google," don't you? No, seriously, don't you? OK, how old did you say you are?
And newspapers have got the content. The first time I heard myself called a "content provider," I felt like a guy who'd been hired by the company that makes Tupperware to make sure there was plenty of Jell-O salad. As a rule, anyone who uses the term "content provider" without a smirk needs to consider getting content from someone else.
There is even hope for newspapers in the very absurdity of their current methods of production and distribution. What customers pay for a newspaper doesn't cover the cost of the paper, let alone the attendant folderol. Without these costs, even zero revenue from customers would be a good deal for newspapers, if advertisers go along. Which they might. Maybe. Don't you think? Please?

RWA Gets A Little Help From Their Friends At REI
Over the last month, RWA student interns have been working together with the nationally known recreation gear retailer, REI. The work they have been doing is a continuation of The Tree Corps Project being sponsored by Capital One Bank, that began in September.
The tree project was designed to give students the opportunity to take part in the beautification of their neighborhood. Students are educated on the types of trees and how to properly maintain each one. Students are learning what trees are indigenous to the northeast, as well as how to prepare the trees for the upcoming winter. Part of the interns' duties, aside from learning about local forestry, is to care for and monitor the newly planted trees within the 10 block radius of Beach 59 Street. REI came out on a few occasions to lend a hand and for some of the volunteers; it was the first time visiting the Rockaways. The extra volunteers were a welcome sight and thanks to REI, the interns will be supplied with some allweather gear, so even in bad conditions the work can still continue.
Inspired by all the hard work of the RWA youth and the beauty and potential of the Rockaways, in 2012 REI will partner with RWA on more events aimed at environmental awareness and outdoor fitness. Throughout the New York area, REI will be holding workshops and trainings with partners in the five boroughs. Rockaway Waterfront Alliance is excited for the opportunity to be the Queens borough representative by helping facilitate these community events. Through a partnership such as this, the possibilities are endless and the benefits can prove to be long-lasting for the community.

Apparently, people have been talking about Willow Smith's hair. It's very short, as you can see. And in these pictures, Willow's hair is dyed an interesting shade of pink. Now her mother, Jada Pinkett Smith, has taken to her Facebook to respond to critics of Willow's hair and Jada allowing her daughter to cut her hair.
A letter to a friend…
This subject is old but I have never answered it in its entirety. And even with this post it will remain incomplete.
The question why I would LET Willow cut her hair. First the LET must be challenged. This is a world where women,girls are constantly reminded that they don't belong to themselves; that their bodies are not their own, nor their power or self determination. I made a promise to endow my little girl with the power to always know that her body, spirit and her mind are HER domain. Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value, her worth is not measured by the length of her hair. It's also a statement that claims that even little girls have the RIGHT to own themselves and should not be a slave to even their mother's deepest insecurities, hopes and desires. Even little girls should not be a slave to the preconceived ideas of what a culture believes a little girl should be. More to come. Another day.
I think Jada's spoken her mind well here! Do you agree with Jada's reasoning, or is she giving 12-year-old Willow too much of a free reign with her hair? Personally, I think experimenting with hair is pretty harmless. Parents need to pick and choose their battles. I'm not sure this is one I'd pick.

The Doubled Haploid Facility at Iowa State University [abstract]. Maize Genetics Conference Abstracts. Abstract P268. Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: The development of homozygous lines is an important, but time-consuming process in plant breeding and research. The in vivo induction and subsequent doubling of haploids is an efficient alternative to generate homozygous offspring in two generations. The Doubled Haploid Facility (DHF), established in 2010, provides haploid doubling for maize to ISU scientists, as well as off-campus academic researchers and breeders. The mission of DHF is to provide expertise and service in the production of doubled haploid lines in maize, to improve the technology in order to get higher success rates and lower costs, and to teach and train scientists and students (http://www.plantbreeding.iastate.edu/DHF/DHF.htm). Our research objectives are (1) marker development for induction ability, (2) development of inducer lines adapted to different environments, (3) development of technologies for mechanical pre-sorting in haploid selection, (4) introduction of additional selective marker for haploid selection, and (5) finding alternatives to colchicine for chromosome doubling. During our first year, research focused on the comparison of different application methods of colchicine for chromosome doubling. |

GOSHEN – Coordinated raids stretching from the Bronx to the Hudson Valley led to the arrest Tuesday of 13 people accused of distributing kilograms of heroin and cocaine in Middletown, the City of Newburgh, New Windsor, Beacon and the Bronx, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
All but one of 14 people indicted were arrested in raids carried about around 6 a.m. after a roughly three-month investigation by the Hudson Valley Safe Streets Task Force. Arrests occurred in the Bronx, Dutchess County, Middletown, Newburgh and other locations.
The defendants all face federal narcotics conspiracy charges and sentences of 10 years to life. They were processed at the FBI's office in Goshen before being taken to face U.S. Magistrate Judge George Yanthis at federal court in White Plains.
One defendant, Darrell Lopez, remains at large.
"It's basically a pipeline of narcotics stretching from the Bronx to the Hudson Valley," said Felipe Orengo, supervisory senior resident agent for the FBI.
Those indicted:
Abner Alvarez. Jr., 30
Abner Alvarez Sr., 47
James l. Canelli III, 36
Emilio "E" Castillo, 28
Anthony "Anth" Cespedes 27
Esmeraldo "Esmo" Hernandez, 32

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez seem to be tiptoeing toward a romantic reunion, but Selena's buddy Taylor Swift doesn't seem too moved by their romance. When Justin and Selena kissed each other on the cheek last night at the Billboard Music Awards, Taylor appeared to stick out her tongue in disgust, according to Just Jared.
What could an incurable romantic like Taylor have against such a sweet moment? Maybe she's weirded out by the odd makeout head moves they're doing, while still only making mouth-to-cheek contact. Maybe she's an animal lover and doesn't think that boys who abandon their monkeys in Germany deserve nice cheek kisses. Maybe she's not looking at them at all, and her sequins are just too tight.
Are Justin and Selena back on? The pair were spotted together May 14 at L.A. club Supperclub for DJ Tay James' birthday. They arrived holding hands and danced to her song "Come and Get It" before taking off after about 45 minutes, according to Hollywood Life.
They left after a conversation with Supperclub's manager. Maybe he was reminding them that they're both under 21, and aren't technically supposed to be in nightclubs? Nah. Probably he was just choked up to see their love blossom anew.

Whether it was just one person or a dozen, I never really felt 100 percent comfortable with detainees. Even at my clairvoyant best I was never quite sure who was going to make like Usain Bolt and take off, resist arrest like Randy Quaid, or just go along with the program like Hugh Grant. And by no means was it a case of the more the merrier.
Each additional detainee meant an exponentially greater level of difficulty. Add in some exotic lingua franca, an obligatory scowl, and delayed or unavailable backup, and I often felt I was just at the edge of getting in over my head at any moment.
But with discomfort sometimes came creativity. One time an LASD homicide detective stopped to lend me a hand when he saw me with three lowlifes at curbside and gave me props for how I'd detained the three. As they'd been riding in an older model pickup, I'd been able to use two sets of cuffs to secure them: One outside the driver's door, a second outside the passenger side door, while the third sat in the cab handcuffed to each in the middle. The old style metal window frames meant that they weren't going anywhere and I also gave myself a thumb's up. Later, I wondered how my "creativity" would have been appraised had a car rear-ended or sideswiped the truck and certain appendages achieved orbit. In retrospect, it probably wasn't the smartest thing I've done.
Still, I kept a covenant with the idea of immobilizing detainees as necessary and separating them whenever possible.
To this end I always tried to identify some de facto leader. By giving him the necessary information by which he could perform some cost/benefit analysis, I allowed him some discretion in deciding if he wanted his homeboys to give me any grief.
This didn't entail any BS threats-"don't bark, unless you're willing to bite-just the friendly reminder that there was the spirit of the law and the letter of the law and all manner of grey in between. A majority of the time when I had some probable cause to detain I also had sufficient cause to scratch a docket. Or two. Or a dozen. Of course, there was also the possibility of arrest, confiscature, vehicle, impound, etc. Where and how far I was apt to go was in part dependent on how far he and his homies wanted to take me.
If my newfound acquaintance appeared amenable to acting as my advocate, then I used him. Throughout, I made sure that he was speaking with his associates on the up and up and there was no "wink-wink" crap going on.
If he proved too dunderheaded to appreciate my candor with him, then I fixated on him first. This found him separate him from the group and almost inevitably in the backseat of my patrol car. There are few things more demoralizing to a bunch of followers than seeing their "leader" cut off from them.
That's not to say that the quiet ones were the least of my worries. Again, I had to ask myself if they were merely keeping their mouths shut because of some inner dialogue they were having with themselves about whether or not they should take off running because they were named in one or more warrants.
Such were the reasons I wanted everyone a little uncomfortable. When they were seated curbside with ankles crossed, hands beneath their butts, and heads down, it was hard for them not to telegraph their desire to haul ass. That was usually enough to avail you or your backup the split second you need to take their ass down; better, the mere fact that they'd be stealing surreptitious glances to inventory where the good guys were and what they were doing was enough to prompt the initiative to get them isolated, too.
When it came to having them take a curbside respite, I wanted the slighter members seated closest to me-they tended to be the fastest runners. The more corpulent souls got the far seat. They were usually the easiest to catch up to, the easiest to justify Tasering, and formed a suitable bookend in the meantime.
When it came to letting them go, I likewise tried to do it in as piecemeal a fashion as I had in patting them down and getting them seated in the first place. By taking one's time in letting people venture off elsewhere, you let them know that you're not apt to let your guard down at any time during the detention.
Finally, remember the guy in the backseat is a continual threat, especially if you have him otherwise unsecure. Some years back, a Temple Station (LASD) deputy found that the person he had seated in the backseat of his patrol car was subject to arrest. He opened a rear door with the intent of placing cuffs on the man when the man attacked him and stripped the deputy of his sidearm. The suspect opened fire on he and a second deputy on scene. The second deputy, despite the loss of his prescription glasses, was finally able to put the SOB down.

Chinese White (PW4) 5ml Tube, DANIEL SMITH Extra Fine Watercolor
Forbidden by purists, Chinese White is much more than a repair patch. This semi-opaque pure white offers excellent permanency and a medium-high tinting strength. It's great for lightening other colors.
Drop and spatter Chinese White into a damp gray wash to describe the moist, mushy snowfalls of the Pacific Northwest's coastal lowlands. I also employ a brushload of Chinese White where water's edge meets snowbanks to indicate melting. For field flowers in spring meadows, a touch of Chinese White into Carbazole Violet helps create clover and other wildflowers. And, of course, you can always use it to paint details and highlights! If the paint works, use it.

The importance is not about this one issue. I think it is more about the movement away from the isolationist / superior mentality we have here in the US. Many of us have become lost in the idea that we are the greatest and require no effort or need to change for the better despite all of the available evidence. All as we continue to drop down various rankings of consequence.

Exploring the ocean salmon fishery

Chris -
I really hope I hook up with you next summer at Neah Bay. We used to stay at Big Salmon, is Al Seda still running it? Of course his daugthers were sure great to talk to. Something about a gal with hoochie earrings that could man the gaff as well as any man could on a Swiftshure halibut charter.
Anyway, we'd usually hit Greenbank, Duncan Rock, around Wadah if we weren't heading across. Eventually it we'd just head straight across to Swiftshure.
One day on the Bonilla/Tatoosh line the Canadian purse seiners were hard at it and there was a hard incoming tide running. We saw the birds going absolutely crazy about 100-300 yards west of the boundary so headed over to investigate. The seiner's "wall of death" had caused the salmon hordes riding the tide to back up like a downtown traffic jam and it was the biggest concentration of salmon I have ever seen and I am sure that I will ever see again. Just as we never seem to know what the back-ups caused by up ahead, the salmon didn't know either but were in a frenzy of feeding as bait also got pushed by the tide into this mass of emerald and silver bodies being held up by the carnage ahead. These concentrated salmon were boiling the water as they fed and the fishing was so intense we actually moved on to find more challenging water after several coho each, one weighing in the 16-17 # class. As we motored away, the thought of carnage that so many (dozens if not hundreds it seemed) purse seiners barricading the strait lingered in my mind. The irony of the salmon in a feeding frenzy as their brethren are meeting their end by the masses just ahead.
The might and magnitude of the ocean only makes me respect the coho more. The pacific northwest seas are truly amazing. The toughness of these salmon and steelhead as they venture fearlessly into the great blue beyond blows my mind.

Nova Peris to stand for Labor in Senate
Indigenous former Olympic athlete Nova Peris OAM will stand as Labor's candidate for the Senate in this year's Federal election, after a resounding endorsement from the Prime Minister.
- Print page

- Permalink
The Indigenous gold-medal winning Olympian and Young Australian of the Year for 1997 gave a tearful speech to the media this morning after Prime Minister Julia Gillard endorsed her as Labor's Northern Territory Senate candidate.
Thanking the Prime Minister for the pre-selection, Ms Peris said she was a proud Territorian ready to face enormous challenges.
"I stand here today not only as an Australian, but as a proud Aboriginal woman - proud of my heritage and culture," Ms Peris said.
"With this Labor government I want to be able to help the Australian youth to live healthy and fulfilled lives.
"In my life I've never taken anything for granted - I believe in hard work and I will be doing everything I can in the weeks and months ahead to get the opportunity to represent all Territorians in the Senate."
Prime Minister Gillard said Nova Peris would be the first Aboriginal person to serve with Labor in Federal Parliament.
"I have always been very troubled that we have never been able to count amongst our number an Indigenous Australian...I'm determined that at the Federal election in 2013 we change that," she said.
The endorsement signals the end of current Labor Senator Trish Crossin's role.
"Trish has a long commitment and an outstanding record of service to the questions of constitutional reform and rights for the residents of the Territory and the recognition of indigenous Australians in our constitution," Ms Gillard said.
"She has been a true role model for Labor people, unionists, women and all Australians with a sense of social justice. I thank her for her service and look forward to her continuing contribution to national and Territory life."
Senator Trish Crossin has released a statement saying the endorsement was made without consultation with the Northern Territory branch of the ALP or her own input.
The Peris endorsement also dashes the hopes of former Territory Labor Member for Arafura, Marion Scrymgour, who this month also put her hand up for pre-selection in the Senate at the 2013 election, sparking speculation she might be the first Indigenous Labor Member of Federal Parliament.

So, some bullets about a plain fold hanky (you are doing much better with them BTW):
- Almost all of the time, do edges out, like this example.
- All of the time, fold it a bit sloppy, like this example.
- Unlike a stuffed hanky or square, show as little as you can...just peek over the pocket. You have too much.
- The hanky should always sit at an angle to the pocket. While I slope mine downward away from center, don't do as I do. Most of you will look better if you slope it upward away from center.
- The most patrician plain fold is the single iceberg triangle, but it is very easy to do this wrong. Avoid it.

I enjoyed every single book I ever read, mainly Bantam and some Del Rey, so I will stubbornly attempt to read it.
I liked it personally. You know, it is interesting just how many sources mentioned fighting on Agamar in the Clone Wars, but no sources actually feature the battle. Considering how far apart some of these sources are in terms of timeframe and the constant deployment of new forces, it seems that Agamar was one of the biggest battles of the war. Odd, considering it was such a backwater.
The Mirgoshir system is an important hyperspace crossroads, and mapwise appears crucial for the Confederacy (much like Tatooine's importance, comments from farmboys notwithstanding)
I think you might be giving them a little too much credit, but I don't know the episodes you're referring to. 100% agree with "The series as a whole, though, fails to convey any sense of a galaxy shattering war, particularly in comparison to the old timeline. There's little logical progression, little attempt to make it cohesive, and generally boils down to Adventure of the Week. Perhaps this is the aim, as it is a kids show, but in terms of appropriately dramatizing an event like the Clone Wars, it falls short. That's why I can't accept TCW as the definite account of the war, but I can accept it as part of it."
I think I accepted TCW as entertaining when I realized it wasn't going to live up to its vast potential, of really expanding the war, and just watched it for what it is (then again, I say that and I haven't seen the last 15 episodes or something, need to get on that at some point) Typically, I'd say TCW is fairly weak in the writing department, but consistently has cool visuals and animation, so at least can sometimes be fun to watch. A lot of TCW episodes are fun in the way a shallow action movie is.
You do not have to watch the TCW show or read other books/comics. You would only be disapponted. Republic was the best Clone Wars related thing ever made. The 2D animted show and the old Clone Wars novels (ex. Shatterpoint) were also nice. The new material is just not what it should be (in my opinion). At least, the old comics and novels were about WAR. I really liked the Quinlan Vos storyline... I do think Jedi Trail is a good novel. The Muun general was great!
Republic and Shatterpoint pretty much gave me CW. They actually showed a war. @instantdeath I would argue that TCW reminds me of the prequels in terms of pretty visuals and weaker writing.
Well, TCW just gave us Darth Maul teamed up with a bunch of Mandalorian Death Watch commandoes leading an attack on a Black Sun base and then subsequently raiding Jabba's Palace. Maybe it was a long, weird path to get there, but that was kind of awesome and is definitely not something we would ever have gotten without TCW.
There are a couple continuity-related season finale previews in the new issue of Insider: - The red-armored Mandos from the CVI preview apparently have the title of "supercommandos". This could be a cool nod to the TESB novel. - Korkie Kryze's model looks older and taller in the Mauldalore arc, suggesting that several years have passed since the Corruption arc. This could throw a hydrospanner into the works for Clone Wars continuity...
Normally I like to smooth over continuity issues rather than bring them to light, but I had to comment on this: Emphasis mine.
Jedi Prince Reference! Though yeah that is very off unless the unspoiled is relative as in the "less of a wasteland" part.
They used to have the atmo processers on kessel turned up to full, so the surface was inhabitable, so maybe not as big an issue as it sounds.
There's definitely room for parts of Kessel to be relatively comfortable thanks to the oh Jesus I give up.
Obviously they're referring to the Kessel from the early comics (aka "Little Kessel" in the Atlas)...
Once again, perfectly salvageable if not for LFL's penchant for rubbing salt in the wound of inconsistencies rather than letting the retcon machine bandage things up. Yes, I like TCW and think the continuity concerns are relatively overblown, but I think we can all acknowledge that it has a tendency to make more problems for itself than it strictly needs to (e.g. Ryloth). edit: Seriously, though: artificial environmental conditioning, Leland, just let us say it's artificial environmental conditioning.

The Inspiration Networks Breaks Ground on New World Missions Ministry Outreach and Partner's Center
Nov 05, 2006, 00:00 ET from The Inspiration Networks
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- The Inspiration Networks today broke ground on the City of Light, the organization's new 93-acre world missions ministry outreach and partner's center in Lancaster County, South Carolina. The groundbreaking celebration was hosted by David Cerullo, Chairman and CEO. He announced that the first phase of the ten-year project is scheduled to be completed in late 2007 and the first two buildings encompassing approximately 160,000 square feet are scheduled to be occupied by January 2008. Special guests included the Honorable Mark Sanford, Governor of the State of South Carolina, as well as many government officials from South Carolina and Lancaster County. "We were honored that these distinguished leaders took time to attend our groundbreaking," Cerullo said. "We have been delighted by the support we have received from all of the government organizations in South Carolina. More than just jobs, this new facility will bring heightened visibility to the region. We will beam programs throughout the world from our new South Carolina home, and bring thousands of people every week to our headquarters." The groundbreaking also featured religious leaders Rex Humbard, Jerry Falwell, Rod Parsley, John Hagee, Benny Hinn, and Pat Robertson. "These men are Christian television pioneers, but they also are friends of our ministry. We wish we could have taken time to recognize by name all of the pastors and church leaders who attended, some coming from as far away as London, England," said Cerullo. "Their presence symbolizes the fact that our ministry is a partnership. We work with many great ministries from throughout the United States and the world. We were honored by their presence with us." Music for the groundbreaking was provided by Keith Duncan, Alicia Williamson Garcia, John Starnes, the Christ Tabernacle Choir (from Brooklyn, New York), and Noel Robinson (from London, England). The Inspiration Networks announced plans to build the City of Light in January of 2006. The new facility will enable the organization to more efficiently and economically meet the growing demands of its cable television, new media, and ministry outreach efforts. Operations for The Inspiration Networks now are located in nine buildings throughout the greater Charlotte region, with production taking place in two separate buildings. Cerullo stated, "The City of Light is more than just about land and buildings. It is about ministry, outreach and mission. It is about being a part of causing the knowledge of the glory of God to cover the earth like the waters cover the sea on every continent, in every major language group and through every form of technology available." The City of Light will consolidate broadcast and ministry activities at one location. The organization currently employs 350 people. The City of Light is designed to accommodate up to 1,500 employees. The project culminates more than five years of research and planning. "Anytime a company headquarters chooses to locate in South Carolina it's obviously a great win for our state," said Governor Mark Sanford. "With 134,000 more people working in our state than there were four years ago, our administration remains committed to focusing on improving the soil conditions for businesses in order to keep creating jobs and raising income levels for our citizens." "Television and film projects have been a priority of Governor Sanford's administration to build our state's growing film and media infrastructure," said South Carolina Secretary of Commerce Joe Taylor. "The new Inspiration Networks' headquarters and facility will add to South Carolina's diverse mix of industries in one of our state's fastest-growing regions." When completed, the City of Light will include an International Prayer & Welcome Center, a WorldReach Headquarters, an International Ministry & Media Training Center, and an International Media & Production Center. Facilities also are planned to accommodate the organization's other specialized ministry outreaches. These include a Tea House for its women's ministry, a Youth Evangelism Center, a Children's Evangelism Center, and a state-of-the-art entertainment pavilion for concerts and events. The Inspiration Networks includes cable TV networks INSP-The Inspiration Network, La Familia Cosmovision (LFC), Inspirational Life Television (i- Lifetv), and INI-Inspiration Network International (INI). INSP is carried on more than 2,500 U.S. cable systems serving 22 million households. i-Lifetv is a digital inspirational lifestyles network launched in June 1998 that currently serves over 10 million subscribers. LFC is a digital network that features family-friendly programming for Hispanic families. INI is delivered direct to home, serving over 55+ million households in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Approximately 50 percent of INI's schedule is original and exclusive programming with programs for children, teens and the international family. INI features a blend of U.S. and European ministry programmers. The Inspiration Networks also operates the premiere broadband portal for the inspirational market, "Inspiration.net," which features "Inspiration Now," a robust video player populated with an award-winning array of exclusive programs for teens, kids, and adults from The Inspiration Networks' linear networks, and other exclusive content. Inspiration.net features the only use of Brightcove's state-of-the-art broadband TV service for the inspirational market. Collectively, the ministries of The Inspiration Networks can be seen 24 hours a day, seven days a week to a potential viewing audience of over one billion people world-wide.

You get it. It's disgusting. You overhear it at work, you see it on Facebook, it's people who don't live in Ferguson telling people who do live in Ferguson how to live.
Ferguson was my old stomping grounds when I was a kid with a bicycle and nothing better to do on a Saturday. It's not Ballwin or Chesterfield, but it's filled with normal, honest people doing their thing to get by in the world. The demographics have been widely reported as about 70% African American, yet the government and police department is mostly white. Turns out when you are a minority who grows up marginalized and close to, or well inside, poverty levels you don't want to run for Alderman or become a cop.
I'm not black, but I watched what happened to young black people in the area. They were scrutinized more heavily by everyone for being young and black. They were watched in stores by shop owners, harassed by cops, harassed by older neighbors all for being young and black.
Take a moment and imagine yourself at Walmart and being obviously tailed by employees because you're young and black.
Seems kind of unfair, doesn't it? The whole world looks at you like a criminal. Crime statistics say you probably are a criminal. Prison populations say you'll end up there one day because you're nothing better than a thug who smokes weed and lays around all day taking government benefits.
When the world has a lens on you every day, do you think you wouldn't lash out? If the world treated you like a criminal, do you think that would make you work harder?
I don't know what happened to Michael Brown other than he was shot and killed by a Ferguson police officer. What I do know is everyone lost their shit because of it. And I understand why.
This doesn't happen with black on black crime in North City because that's rationalized. It's just the way things happen. A Major General was recently killed in Afghanistan and no one outside the military community cared. There are no more protests against wars because it's expected now. We don't protest meth labs, white on white violence or any of the other "expected" deaths.
So why riot?
Imagine this: You're trying to get a doctor to pay attention to a problem you're having, but the doctor just ignores you. You're in pain, something is wrong and the doctor just has his back to you, ignoring your pleas and talking about whatever they feel is important. He's the doctor and you're just a lowly patient, so you have to shut up and wait until maybe he can get to you.
So you pick up his jar of tongue depressors and smash it to the ground while screaming at him.
The doctor turns and looks at you with disbelief and says "Why would you do that? You're such a monster!"
This is why you see black people rioting and white people not (unless, of course, they win a sporting championship.) As a middle class white person, I'm used to people listening to me when I need something or have something to say. I'm not now, nor have I ever been marginalized based on my race or gender.
But when you're poor and black, no one wants to listen to you. You're too poor, too black, don't vote enough or any other hundreds of reasons to not listen to anything you say. You're an eighteen year old who smokes weed and hangs out with his friends late at night and I'm intimidated by that, so your opinion doesn't matter.
You're a thief, a liar, a thug, a drug addict, a drain on my tax dollars. You should do better and tell your thug friends to do better too because you don't matter, you fucking cockroach.
I'm not condoning violent actions, but if the response to my anger was wooden bullets and tear gas fired at me into my own back yard?
This is exactly what every doomsday prepper and Missouri militia nutjob has been crying about, but you won't see them stand on the front lines of Ferguson protecting the rights of the residents against the jackbooted government thugs. Every person who has ever clutched their guns and cried about the Constitution should be out there in Ferguson demanding due process and standing between the police and the protesters.
But they won't. No one will stand with the protesters. They won't listen to black people when you do it peacefully, they won't protect you when you fight back. This would hardly be a bump on the media radar if it wasn't for the rioting and you're crazy if you think peaceful protests would have gotten anything done. The feet of the Ferguson police are being held to the fire by the world because of a burned down gas station and photos of officers in riot gear holding back snarling dogs.

'Green' mortgage: Providers ponder energy rewards
The Senate is considering bipartisan legislation that would require Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, and other federal mortgage entities to revamp their rules to reward energy savings.
Supporters of energy efficiency want lenders to take the net savings from energy improvements into consideration when they underwrite and impose mortgage fees, and they also want appraisers to take into account the value of new items and retrofits.
Meanwhile, a study of 71,000 home loans by University of North Carolina researchers revealed that mortgages on energy-efficient properties are 32 percent less likely to default.
More than 125 multiple listing services nationwide provide "green fields" in online listing information displays so that energy improvements and certifications for Energy Star-qualified appliances, solar power, and other features can be described.
Moreover, the Appraisal Institute is offering green valuation training for appraisers and has established a comprehensive "green addendum" that could result in higher property valuations.
In addition, Genworth Mortgage Insurance plans to offer green rewards to U.S. borrowers like it already does in Canada where borrowers receive a 10 percent refund on mortgage insurance premiums, online discounts for common household items, and even a break on their debt-to-income ratio for underwriting purposes if the home meets national or provincial energy efficiency guidelines.

Single-Stream Recycling
by Bill Chameides | September 18th, 2013
posted by Erica Rowell (Editor)
It's "sweeping the country," but does it lead to more recycled material and less trash in the landfill?
I live in Durham, North Carolina, but spend some time in New York City. In my NYC digs I recycle the old-fashioned way — separating plastics, paper and glass, and throwing them into separate bins.
But in Durham I just toss everything into a single cart and put the cart by the sidewalk every other week. From there, a truck picks it up and hauls it away, the plastic, paper and glass all jumbled together. And jumbled together they stay until arriving at a materials recovery facility (or MRF, pronounced MURF) where everything is separated out into its various recyclable and unrecyclable components.
From some descriptions I've read, these plants with their "magnets, ballistic air separators, optical container sorters and aluminum eddy current systems" must be a Rube Goldberg fantasy come true.
In the trash biz, we say that NYC uses multi-stream recycling while Durham uses single stream.
To be honest, I never really thought that much about the advantages or disadvantages of single-stream over multi-stream recycling. Sure, my Durham persona appreciates the simplicity of single-stream recycling, but my NYC persona doesn't find the task of separating recyclables into separate bins all that arduous and so it was pretty much a wash for me.
And then earlier this month I read that Duke University, my very own academic home, was moving to single-stream recycling in a new pilot project that would also include collecting compostables. The compostables thing is a great idea — see my post — but what about single-stream recycling, I wondered? Arwen Buchholz, Duke's recycling and waste reduction coordinator, is pretty sanguine about it, stating that "we're confident that making the switch to single-stream recycling will help us better capture the 40 percent recycling that was put in the trash."
Wow, 40 percent is a lot. Is it really that much? I decided to do a little digging on my own.
We've come a long way, baby, as far as recycling in the United States goes. In 1990 we recycled about 33 million tons and 16 percent of our solid waste. By 2011 (the last year for which the Environmental Protection Agency has data), that amount had jumped more than 2.5 times to ~87 million tons, diverting 35 percent of our waste stream with more than 60 percent of Americans having access to curbside recycling.
Part of that growth has apparently come from the advent of single-stream recycling.
The Single-stream Rush
Material recovery processing plants equipped to handle single-stream recycling appeared on the U.S. scene in the mid-1990s, and jumped from just a handful in 1995 to 93 in 2003. While recent estimates of the number of such facilities differ (e.g., 200 in 2009 or more than 160 in 2011) the growth in single-stream processing facilities has clearly come at the expense of multi-stream programs. In 2005 20 percent of recycling communities used single-stream, but by 2010, that had grown to 64 percent. At the same time communities using multi-stream recycling decreased by a similar amount, from 70 percent to 34 percent over the same period.
Why the switch to single stream? Many experts say it's a no-brainer. For one it allows municipalities "to increase recycling volumes and reduce high recycling collection costs."* According to the Solid and Hazardous Waste Education Center at the University of Wisconsin, single stream recycling reduces these costs by 5– 25 percent. And single stream, it is claimed, encourages residents to put more stuff in the recycling bin for collection (see here, here and here). Why? Presumably, because it's more convenient and because residents are given a larger container to cram their stuff into. In the words of one waste and recycling service touting single stream: "With a recycling container that is much larger than that old curbside bin, you can recycle more and waste less!" (Their exclamation point.)
Another service reports that single-stream recycling "encourages people to recycle more." Greener Pittsburgh claims that "[o]n average, at least 50 percent more recyclables are collected with single-stream recycling." And Waste Management, Inc., the king of all things left at the curb or in a large container behind Wal-Mart, claims that "the simplicity of this approach has been shown to increase recycling rates an average of 30%."
Those are impressive numbers and tend to confirm the 40 percent number cited by Duke's Arwen Buchholz, but those are not the only numbers out there. There are those that have come to very different conclusions. One such individual is Daniel Lantz, the director of environmental and engineering services at Metro Waste Paper in Toronto. He claims [pdf] that increases seen in collection rates when locales switch "may not be solely due to the single stream collection system, but rather due to a combination of factors [such as] … increased promotion." And this claim is supported by other studies [pdf] that find that increased collections can also be had with dual-stream programs. For example, the city of Berkeley in California was able to increase its tonnage and keep a dual-stream by providing larger carts.
But let's leave the question of increased collection aside and consider another issue: how much material actually gets recycled versus how much ends up in a landfill. Just because more stuff gets collected in the recycling bin doesn't mean more stuff gets recycled. And there is a good deal of data to suggest that it does not.
Garbage in Doesn't Mean Recyclables Out
It probably does not surprise you to learn that not all the stuff we place in recycling bins is actually recyclable; and not all the recyclable material in those bins gets properly sorted out and sent on its recycling way. The stuff that shouldn't have been put in the bin and the stuff that could have been recycled and wasn't are known as residuals and it all gets sent to landfill. And guess what: single-stream systems generally produce a lot more residuals than multi-stream. According to the Solid and Hazardous Waste Education Center, residual rates [pdf] are roughly 1 percent for multi-steam systems, 2-3 percent in dual-stream systems, and a whopping 15 to 27 percent for single-stream systems.
That's right: More than 10 times more residuals come from single-stream systems than multi-stream. Still, all things being equal, if collections in single-stream systems are 50 percent larger (and as noted above, that's a big if), single stream is still a winner even if 20 percent more goes to the landfill. But wouldn't you know it, all things are not equal.
Downcycling Instead of Recyclables
Once stuff leaves the recycling plant, it heads to re-processors, paper mills and bottle makers who use the material to make new products. The re-processors don't just care about quantity, they care about quality. If the recycled material is of inferior quality, they've got problems. And it would appear that many in the re-processing business are none too happy about single stream recycling.
For example this from a 2010 report [pdf] by the Container Recycling Institute: "Ask any post-consumer materials processor about single-stream collection and it's more than likely they will tell you that handling commingled [single-stream] recyclables is problematic." The reason is simple: the quality of the material they receive from single-stream recyclers is inferior, which forces the manufacturer to downcycle the material (i.e., use it in a cheaper product) or, even worse, send it to the landfill. For example, the same institute reports: "On average, 40% of glass from single-stream collection winds up in landfills, while 20% is small broken glass … used for low-end applications. Only 40% is recycled into containers and fiberglass."
Another report [pdf] indicates that yields of recyclable plastics have gone from 75-78 percent for dual stream to 68-70 percent for single stream. (Deposit systems give the best yield of about 85 percent.)
Does It Really Pay?
So I said at the beginning of the post that I was going to do a little digging and what I've found is that just below the surface of all the hoopla on the joys of single-stream recycling there is a lot of doubt and skepticism. There are a fair number of people in the industry who have done the math and are not convinced that it makes sense. (See here [pdf], here [pdf], and here [pdf].)
So why the rush to single-stream recycling? Could it be that it's cheaper for a municipality (or for a university) to run a single-stream operation. If so, the question we need to ask ourselves is if those are real savings. Certainly not for the re-processors: "The cost savings for a municipality from single-stream collection show up as cost increases for the processors and recyclers." And if the processor and recyclers are paying more, so are we consumers. But the real concern is the landfill. I would hate to think we're saving money for municipalities and paying the price at the landfill.
End Note
* Studies [pdf] show that increased collections can also be had with dual-stream programs. For example, the city of Berkeley in California was able to increase its tonnage and keep a dual-stream by providing larger carts.

While one may be better than the other, which ever you use is better than the landfill. Time will ultimately tell the result of this dilema. some of you may confuse single stream rec. with municipal solid waste sorting. One is All recyclables in one bin and the other is all trash in one bin and then sorted trash from recyclable. And who cares if it is used in cheaper products reused is reused, are you a recycle snob or what. Something IS better than nothing, let the market decide which process is better and let business and consumer demand set costs. I promise if it cost a company more money you can avoid their product, if it cost a city or county more money you can not avoid their taxes to pay for disposal.
Single stream recycling is the great thing you put all your recyclables in the same bin no sorting. Single stream is very cost affect for waste recycling centers it's the way of the future in recycling. Thanks for sharing this.
I'd like to know the batch sizes for the processing — or is it continuous stream?
Either way, how much material gets redefined as landfill or toxic waste if someone tosses the wrong thing into the single-stream-recycling can and it gets ground up/scattered/dissolved into the rest of the material around it? (And how do they catch it, if that happens?)
Same kind of question arises from two- or three-stream recycling — our local system accepts aerosol spray cans, for example, in the "metals and plastics" bin. But at least they're separate from the composting bin material.
I agree that consumption of our fossil fuels is a matter of concern.
So, management of Waste Products becomes necessary.
I think the recycling topic has become an PR topic instead of what it should be. A way to reduce our fossil fuel cosumption.
Thank you for this interesting article
When the public discusses recycling they take for granted various assumptions for which there is no evidence at all, but it just sounds good.
Take a look at http://www.fairsharecommonheritage.org or http://www.zerowasteinstitute.org for a far deeper analysis of resource usage and conversation than you will find in the mainstream press, including blogs and comments.
A really interesting topic. I'd like to hear from some of the companies in this business. I would suspect that some of the non-recyclable material goes to incinerators (yes there are lots of them) and possibly the dry burnable waste produces more power than the more typically wet waste they receive (thus offsetting power produced by fossil fuels; not reducing CO2 emissions but conserving a resource).
And the individuals time is worth something and single-stream saves millions of hours per year that could be put to better use (even taking a nap is better use than separating trash (to me anyway).Thanks for the interesting article.

The recent Ontario Court of Appeal decision in Ahmed v. Stefaniu, [2006] O.J. No. 4185 (C.A.) is considered in detail. This case involved a jury verdict of negligence against a psychiatrist who had previously decided that a patient who ultimately murdered his sister ought to be a voluntary patient. Ms. Pengelley argues that hindsight bias came into play when the jury considered whether Dr. Stefaniu had met the required standard of care.
Ms. Pengelley's treatise references the seminal 1975 study of psychologist Baruch Fischoff. He underlined the principle that not only did learning of the outcome create hindsight bias, but also that we appear unable to disregard such information. Educating individuals about hindsight bias and asking them to be careful not to be influenced by the information appears to have little effect. Perhaps the best explanation as to why people show hindsight bias, rests in the idea that people try to make post facto sense of the world around them.
Possible solutions to these difficulties are found in bifurcated trials. This can involve the jury hearing evidence about the defendant's conduct and first making a decision about whether the requisite standard of care has been met. Then, it can hear evidence about causation and quantum of damages. Alternatively, a second jury could be asked to determine the damages issue. It is argued that Binnie J. opened the door to bifurcation in Whiten v. Pilot Insurance Co., [2002] 1 S.C.R. 595. To date, the case law indicates that Canadian trial courts should exercise bifurcation only in the clearest cases.
Ms. Pengelley admits that bifurcation is not necessarily foolproof. Bifurcated trials also are not very practical tools in our overburdened judicial system. Nonetheless, counsel's awareness of potential hindsight bias will allow them to tailor their advocacy to take this key factor into consideration in order to improve their odds of success.

Also copping top finishes at the regional championships were Anderson, and Giannotti, who placed 20th and 21st, respectively. Perri would lead the Lions again at the NCAA Championships, finishing 47th overall. 115 Division I athletes earned All-Academic honors on the women's side, including nearly 20 harriers from the Big Ten Conference.

Following up on the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony-helped "Celebration" remix and "Holy Water," Game added to his #SundayService series yesterday with the video to his not-so-holy "I Remember." The track features Young Jeezy and Future, who is really the driving force with his profane yet annoyingly catchy hook: "I dont fucked so many bitches that I can't remember names/ But if you put that pussy right up in my face, I'll remember." Those pearly gates won't be opening for these three rappers anytime soon.
Although being debuted as part of his weekly series, "I Remember" serves as the second single from Game's fifth album, Jesus Piece, out Dec. 11.

Celebrate in Iceland with an Icelandair Stopover Buddy
What is an Icelandair Stopover?
When you fly Icelandair across the Atlantic, you can stopover in Iceland for up to seven nights at no additional airfare. That gives you the opportunity to explore Iceland, both country and culture, without adding onto your ticket price.
The Icelandair Stopover Buddy Service
Last winter, we introduced a free service to our Stopover passengers. We gave them the chance to see Iceland through the experienced eyes of a local by requesting a Stopover Buddy, an Icelandair employee who acted as their personal host for up to one day. Now, the Buddies are back and better than ever, offering transatlantic guests the chance to celebrate on their Stopover in Iceland.
What's in store this season?
Our Stopover Buddies not only know the lay of the land but they also know other interesting locals. That means they are just the right people to help you turn your Icelandair Stopover into a fun and memorable celebration. This winter, pop open the champagne, put on your party hat and request an Icelandair employee to help you celebrate the way Icelanders do. From birthdays, to proposals, our Buddies have it covered. Alternatively, join in on local, Icelandic celebrations and allow our Buddies to show you how to make a good trip even better – Icelandair style.

spey fishing advice
I was hoping someone can get me on the right track. I am building my first spey rod a med. fast 12'6" 7/8 weight and need some help learning how to get started. As I read there are just way to many line/head options. I plan on using the rod in medium sized rivers in water as deep as 6 feet. Can someone recomend a line a rookie could have some sucess with? I was thinking of starting with a floating line and then maybe make some heads for it with different grain wieghts. Also, referance materials, is there a good book or video that could get me started without overwelming me?
thanks for the help |

Both the best book and video are authored by the same person, Simon Gawesworth. He is also one of the gurus at Rio Products.
The latest video and his book are the way to go, and no he is a born teacher so you won't be overwhelmed.

Probably your best bet would be to find some way to try out line systems after your rod is complete.. maybe a dealer who has reels loaded with different lines.
Check Some of the dealers who sell a lot of spey equipment. Otherwise a changeable head system might work.. you would have a running line and then could change out a skagit, scandi or custom made head that would be suitable for your rod and your casting preferences and would give you flexibility in differing conditions...winter, summer, etc. Casting preferences usually come after you have had some casting experience with different rod and line combinations. Preferences are also determined by the kind of fishing circumstances you anticipate.. fishing deep, weighted flys, surface flys, size of river, etc. Spey casting is simply more complicated than regular fly fishing because of the different approaches to casting and fishing conditions. |

Jets' Favre to have MRI on ailing shoulder Monday
Dec. 28, 2008
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Brett Favre will have an MRI exam Monday on his ailing right shoulder, saying it would affect his decision on whether he'll come back for another season with the New York Jets.
The 39-year-old struggled down the stretch in his first season with New York, throwing two touchdowns and nine interceptions in his last five games. He was picked off three times in the Jets' 24-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
Favre says he's been feeling discomfort in the shoulder for quite some time.

Case Study: Shari's Restaurant
Consuming Less & Saving More with a New Recipe for Strategic Energy Management
When new CEO, Bruce MacDiarmid, joined Shari's Restaurants in 2008, he challenged the Shari's team to evaluate any operational costs that didn't directly enhance their guest's restaurant dining experience. A financial evaluation identified utility charges as the third largest controllable expense making them one of the primary targets for this efficiency initiative. There are two ways to achieve utility savings, lower rates and reduce consumption. Most of Shari's restaurants are in regulated energy markets, where rates are controlled by the state and not open to competition between private companies. This meant the company had little control over the prices of their utility rates, making efforts to reduce consumption a top priority. To achieve the savings goals, Shari's first needed to know where to focus their efforts. Through a combination of data management, audits, and energy performance initiatives, the company was able to gain visibility across their chain, identify outliers and implement a corporate wide energy management program to improve efficiencies and cut costs.
Through their work with Ecova, Shari's knew that they had the data necessary to reduce and control consumption; they just needed additional support to interpret and identify the most effective opportunities. Through the expense management process, Shari's had visibility into the individual site use and cost information for each of the restaurants in their chain. Ecova's team of energy experts developed performance reports to accurately assess consumption data using quantifiable portfolio energy metrics at the individual site level. Each of the 104 Shari's restaurants were grouped by square footage, guest count, and location, and then ranked according to their monthly electric and gas usage. The report revealed the total amount of energy used at each restaurant and drew a comparative analysis. Findings provided evidence that restaurants, while similar in square footage and foot traffic, often had vast discrepancies in energy and water use. Further investigation was needed to understand what was causing such varying consumption levels. Store and equipment audits were conducted at a few of the locations with the highest consumption and evaluated for improvements, while those that were performing well were used to model behavior after. Through further monitoring of the performance reporting statistics,
Shari's was able to quantify the effectiveness of their efforts in regard to cost and consumption.
These reports continue to guide Shari's efficiency efforts allowing them to clearly communicate and provide motivation for reduced consumption and improved energy efficiencies.
To maximize these efforts, this information was shared across the restaurant group. Ecova, with the help of the Shari's team, developed an energy newsletter to highlight the three most energy-efficient restaurants over the previous period, highlighting what they did to reduce consumption, educating the entire Shari's chain on efficiency strategies. Additionally the newsletter provides Shari's restaurants with season-specific check lists of simple actions that can be taken to increase energy efficiency, such as changing temperature set points and harvesting natural heat and light.
Ecova's equipment audits, monthly usage reports, and additional recommendations have helped Shari's make educated decisions about upgrading their equipment and facilities, improving their corporate citizenship and…
Enabling Shari's to reduce energy consumption by 16% year over year.
These savings comprised:
- Nearly $1 million by temporarily shutting down gas broilers. Firing up gas broilers to cook just a few items wasted energy and money. Temporarily adjusting the menu offerings eliminated the need for these broilers reducing energy use by 25% percent annually. These menu items will be reintroduced once the broilers have been adjusted for improved efficiencies.
- $597,480 projected savings through dipper well redesign. During Ecova'sequipment audit, dipper wells, used for ice cream scoops, and other kitchen tools were running heated water 24 hours a day, seven days a week and found to waste 8 million gallons of water a year. Shari's is now redesigning this system, which they aim to install by 2011.
- $300,000 by installing aerators on faucets. Most of the 520 sinks installed in Shari's were lacking aerators, which increases water pressure while reducing volume when the water is running. The company invested $8.00 per faucet to install aerators on all sinks and cut water consumption by approximately 5 million gallons a year.
- $57,720 from internal motion sensors. Rooms used for storage, chemicals, and hot water heaters are rarely used. If a light is left on, it could be on for weeks. Motion sensors were installed to detect when the room is in use, and turn the lights on and off accordingly.
- $31,000 through digital thermostats. Upgrading thermostats allowed Shari's toset a wide range for indoor temperature that varies between a low and high point that will always be comfortable for customers. This range means that HV AC systems no longer have to work constantly to maintain an exact temperature, so they turn on less often, reducing annual energy consumption by 5 percent.
Challenged by goals to reduce energy costs as much as 10% Shari's adopted a strategic approach to maximize efficiencies and create awareness at all levels of their company. Mindful not to detract from the customer experience, Shari's has gone beyond the financial savings, and gained a deep understanding of how everyday decisions can conserve energy and improve operating efficiencies. This comprehensive energy management program has enabled Shari's to foster a culture of operating smarter, through awareness of the financial and environmental impact of efficient business practices.

Damn, do I love Chinatown. It's hard to sum up all the reasons why, but here's an obvious start: it's home to some of the cheapest, tastiest food in the city. And I mean really cheap. As in six-dollars-is-a-meal cheap.
But sometimes six bucks looks pretty rich. I know I'm not the only person to ever exit the Canal Street subway station with a growling belly and just a handful of quarters in my wallet. But that's okay. When cheap just isn't cheap enough, Chinatown is there for you. To help guide you through the neighborhood's labyrinthine food options, here's a list of sweet and savory snacks to fill the belly and warm the soul for $2 or less. I'm including some honorable mentions—$2.25-or-so snacks that also fit the bill, if you're willing to spend the extra change.
This list is just the tip of the iceberg—Chinatown is like that—and we're far from done eating our way through the neighborhood's cheapest eats. So: any specialties we missed? Let us know in the comments.
The List
- Hong Kong-Style Rice Rolls
- Sesame Pancakes
- More Pancakes
- Street Kebabs
- Steamed Buns
- Egg Custard Tarts
- Crullers
- Fried Dumplings
- Noodles from Dumpling Shops
- Fresh Tofu
- Chinese Bakery Sandwiches
- Sponge Cakes
- Fresh Fruit
- Honorable Mention: Onigiri

A valuable 15th century Flemish manuscript acquired by the J.Paul Getty Museum late last year has been placed under an export embargo by British authorities, who hope to keep the object in the United Kingdom.
Britain's cultural minister Ed Vaizey has put a temporary export bar on the manuscript, known as "Roman de Gillion de Trazegnies." The export bar will prevent the object from leaving Britain while authorities attempt to raise the money needed to keep it in the country.
In a statement Vaizey said that it "would be wonderful if the extra time granted by the export allows a buyer to come forward and ensure it remains in a UK collection."
PHOTOS: Arts and culture by The Times
In a statement sent to The Times, Getty Director Timothy Potts said "this is normal procedure when purchasing works of art in the United Kingdom. The Getty understands and respects the export process in the U.K. We look forward to a positive outcome and the opportunity to add this exceptional illuminated manuscript to our collection so that we can share it with visitors to the Getty Museum."
The Guardian reported that the Getty agreed to pay £3.8 million for the Flemish manuscript. The Getty didn't disclose how much it paid when it announced the acquisition in December.
A recent news release from Britain's cultural department said that £3.8 million must be raised to keep the manuscript in the country.
"Roman de Gillion de Trazegnies" is an illuminated manuscript that features eight painted half-page miniatures. It was created by Lieven van Lathem, a Flemish illuminator who lived and worked in what is now Belgium.
Britain's cultural minister has put temporary export bars on a number of art objects in the recent past. Last year, Britain's Ashmolean Museum successfully raised close to £8 million ($12.5 million) to acquire a Manet painting that had previously been sold to a foreigner.
More recently, the Raphael drawing "Head of a Young Apostle" is being prevented from leaving British shores, according to a report from the Guardian. The drawing sold at a Sotheby's auction in December, exceeding expectations by fetching £29 million.
