Panasonic HM-TA1
Pocket-lintManufacturers have picked up on the importance of the pocket camcorder market quite significantly in the last 2 years. Although there's never been a rush of them in the same way as there's been with netbooks. The steady stream of more and more companies bringing their take on these products to our shelves has proved both that they're here for the while - at least until smartphones get significantly better at the job - and that there's now quite a bit of research to undertake for any would-be consumer. As ever, it's our job to help you separate the wheat from the chaff and that's exactly what we've been up to while putting the Panasonic HM-TA1 through its paces.
Recording at Full 1080p/30fps HD, the HM-TA1 is up against the higher class of video pocketables and the price is a suitable match coming in at same £130 or so as the Flip Ultra HD. Unlike the Flip, the first thing you'll notice about Panasonic's effort is that it isn't made with the same level of care and design that you might find elsewhere. It's far from rickety or tatty, but there are just a few too many bumps and buttons to be pleasing in the hand. It's the difference between something made by Apple and something, well, not.
There are six buttons and a nav-pad on the face when half that number of pressables would have been excessive. And all the ports and connectors are needlessly hidden under an assortment of plastic flaps, but the bit that really jars is the built-in USB connector which sits on a horribly awkward slider mechanism that you're convinced you'll get the knack of eventually. You won't. It will bug you all its life.
If that wasn't enough, the strap that comes in the box to sit around your wrist and stop you dropping the thing on the floor is possibly in the worst position on the whole device. Tethered to the top right corner, it either prevents your hand from freely pressing all the buttons or, if you choose not to use it, there's an excellent chance of it swinging in front of the lens and ruining your shot.
Fortunately, that's where the worst of this gadget ends, because the rest of the Panasonic HM-TA1 is actually rather good. Having established that it's no beauty in its design, it is at least very small and very light. At 53 x 104 x 17.8mm and 91g, it's actually around half as thick and half as heavy as the Flip Ultra HD and that really is as dramatic as it sounds. It feels like carrying a feature phone in your pocket rather than small brick. It even leaves space for other things in there like keys, a wallet or even your actual phone. So, what about the performance?
Both the battery and SD cards are removable and means that you can get virtually limitless hours of recording should you carry spares. Fortunately memory cards get pretty big these days and just the one charge of the HM-TA1 via USB lasts plenty of shooting hours even with the external light turned on. An evening out's heavy usage still saw the meter showing plenty of power left over.

An evening out's heavy usage still saw the meter showing plenty of power left over.
The footage itself is recorded as MP4 and AAC for the audio and it's a standard and slightly frustrating 30fps frame rate which makes fast motion come out a little stylised to put it nicely, but that's as good as you get with most pocket camcorders at the moment. The colours aren't quite what you'd hope either with the likes of the Kodak Zi8 coming out just ahead, but the Panasonic is probably more comparable to the results you'd find on the Flip.
On the plus side, the focus is consistently good with no obvious issues and the F/2.8 aperture lens means you can shoot quite comfortably at surprisingly low light levels. In heavy dusk you don't quite get that same crisp look but it's impressive enough to be getting anything at all. When all is completely dark, there is of course the option of the front light. It's obviously useless for anything more than a metre or so away, but it does make the unshootable shootable in that low-end compact camera with built-in flash kind of way. The short demo video from a dark club shows the difference as the torch is switched on and off. Naturally, there's a much greater effect when the subject is closer.
Given it only has a single microphone, the sound is surprisingly solid with it managing to pick up good levels of detail quite far from the lens even in noisy environments. The only real giveaways are when there's action going on behind, which can come out muffled and bassy as you might expect.
The HM-TA1 is certainly happy enough if you're after stills as well. Naturally, the 4x digital zoom, which you can also use in camcorder mode, isn't worth using. The shutter delay is comparable to a mobile phone. There's also no scene modes and such but, if you can work around all that, you'll pass the results off as coming from a compact camera - certainly in natural light anyway. Indoors you'll start to pick up some noise and low light isn't worth bothering with but, all in all, healthy 8MP stills.
The controls to see you through playback and option settings aren't wildly intuitive, but the menus themselves are simple with aspect ratio changing and resolution options about as deep as things get. The 2-inch screen with its 154k dots is clear and there's also a speaker to listen to sound recordings as you might expect. A headphones jack would have been nice, but there you go.

There are a couple of bonuses that the HM-TA1 offers that you won't see in other pocket camcorders though. The first will appeal to Apple fans, and takes the form of recording into iFrame resolution for ease of slipping straight into your video editor, and the second is that the device will also double as a webcam and offer video calling when connected to your computer via USB over Skype. It's fantastic given the resolution suddenly at your web chat disposal, but it's a huge pity that no one thought to include a stand or clip or even a flat edge to balance the thing on so that you didn't have to hold it or prop it up on a stack of books all the time.
If you're after something cute and sexy in your pocket, then you're barking up the wrong tree here. What the Panasonic HM-TA1 offers is some really good imagining power packed tight into an incredibly convenient and small frame. It's a joy to carry around and it won't let you down, and it has got the inner most issues addressed.
Unfortunately, Panasonic doesn't seem to have brought the usability guys in on this one and there are just too many obvious niggles to make it an absolute winner. All the same though, you'd be a fool not to consider it.

Colonials Win NCAA Opener
George Washington gets 14 second half points from Cathy Joens in 71-61 win.
March 23, 2003
Box Score?|? Quotes?|? Notes?|? Photo Gallery
By OWEN CANFIELD
AP Sports Writer
NORMAN, Okla. - Cathy Joens had 22 points, 14 in the second half when George Washington held off an Oklahoma rally to beat the Sooners 71-61 Sunday night in the first round of the Mideast Regional.
The seventh-seeded Colonials (25-6) will play No. 2 seed Villanova on Tuesday night. Villanova beat St. Francis, Pa., 51-36.
Oklahoma (19-13) reached the NCAA title game last year and the round of 16 the two years before that. But the Sooners were undone in part by 22 turnovers.
Ugo Oha had 14 points, 11 rebounds and six blocks for George Washington. Anna Montanana scored 19.
Maria Villarroel led Oklahoma with 26 points.
The Sooners led by three at halftime and led 34-31 early in the second half before George Washington went on a 19-2 run. Joens hit three 3-pointers during the spurt, which saw Oklahoma turn it over five straight times at one point.
Trailing 53-41, Oklahoma put together a run of its own, outscoring the Colonials 13-2 in a span of four minutes to get within one, 55-54, with 7:53 remaining. But the Sooners then went seven straight possessions without scoring and George Washington built a 62-54 lead.
A steal and layup by Dionnah Jackson got Oklahoma within four, 64-60, with 2:43 remaining, but the Sooners got no closer.
Oklahoma outrebounded the Colonials 39-29, but went just 11-of-19 from the
free throw line. George Washington was 18-of-20.

RON Automoviles Pulls the Sheets off RXX Track Special
Our neighbors to the South have been on quite the upswing lately when it comes to automotive endeavors. Beginning in 2008 with the Mastretta MXT, and only a few weeks ago we saw the VUHL 05. Now, we get word of Mexico's latest project- the RON Automoviles' RXX track car, and it's a thing of beauty.
Taking note from a few classic track cars, the RXX is an edgier variant of the Ariel Atom, with a hint of British design from racing cars of past. The tandem two-seat layout dishes out a streamlined set of body angles and an aggressive front fascia.
Available in three different forms- the RXX, RXX-S and RXX-R, RON says that each will come with a varying set of powertrains and aesthetic features. Although no official figures have been given.
No word yet on just when the RXX will take to the streets, but we'll keep you up to date with any news regarding the RON's F1 car for the masses.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
- - Deliberation on tanks 1 & 2 over
Deliberation on tanks 1 & 2 over Finely dcided n the stocki lists for my new tanks Both 48 x 15 x 12 Both to be well planted Tank 1 stock list Congo Tetra Rosy Tetra Gold Pleco Yoyos Maxmum shoal sizes please? Tank 2 Neon Tetra Rosy Barb CRS Corys? Maximum shoal sizes please? Then there will be deciding the stocking on tank 3, 140l corner aquarium 24" deep.. suggestions welcome. |
Yoyo loaches need at least a shoal of 5 (better to do even numbers so 6). Personally I have four and they manage fine because they have places to hide if one is being too rambunctious. |
Iv already consdered on the yoyos, got perfect hiding places already for them and will be ading specific sanded area for them, iv spent quite alot of time starring at the empty tanks trying to visualise what i want! Iv got a list of things as long as my arm already and thats just for 1 tank! Got 3 to do! Thats including revamping the 1 i have already up and running (tank 3) |
These are the standard 55g tanks I believe, so for numbers only [I have cautions with these combinations I'll deal with after] I would suggest: Congo, 9 (5 males, 4 females) or 7 (4 m, 3f). Rosy Tetra, 12+ Yoyo loach, 6 but 5 if necessary, certainly no less than 4 if absolutely necessary [comments on this also below]. Neon Tetra, 12+. Rosy Barb, 7-9. Corys, minimum 5 of one species, or if two or more species, no less than 3 of each but 5 better. The loaches are one of the most social of fishes and the more the better. I always try to get 6, but 5 will in my experience work; I have Botia kubotai, Yasuhikotakia sidthimunki, and Yunnanilus cruciatus (not all together) in groups of five and for 2+ years with no problems. I recently acquired 4 Botia striata, only 4 because that's all they had; I would have got 6 or 5 if they had more, but 4 can work. It is just that the more there are, the less the chance of any issues with infighting or bothering other fish. Which brings me to the combination cautions. Botia almorhae carries a caution of nipping long-fin fish, which means the Congo Tetra. I've no experience of this myself, as I've never maintained the Yoyo. If you can get them, B. kubotai would be safer, and the patterning is very similar. I have my 5 B. kubotai in with a shoal of 10 Congo, no problems. The loach are nibbling the plants though...it is reported they like Echinodorus (swords).:lol: I suspect you combined the Neon and Rosy Barb due to temperature, but the Rosy Barb is very active and this may unsettled the quieter neons. This is a case where the RB would suit the CT more--except their temps don't match. Then similarly the Rosy Tetra would be a better match for the Neon rather that the active Congos. Activity level is a very important consideration in combining species. To illustrate, my 90g River Habitat is intended for more active fish, and I have Congo, Black Ruby Barb, Emperor Tetra, Beckford Pencilfish, and Botia kubotai in there, and it is a hive of continual activity as all of these are very active. These fish complement each other very well, and the large numbers of each species ensures they have plenty of interaction as nature intended. By contrast, my 5-foot 115g has groups of much more sedate fish like Cardinals, Rosy and Roberts Tetra, Garnet Tetra, Marble Hatchetfish, and 30+ corys; years ago I had Black Phantom Tetra in this mix too. There is very little active swimming from any of these species, aside from male displays and sparring within species. I just can't imagine disrupting this with Congos for example, it would stress out the other fish. Even the Emperors originally in this mix had to be removed. Hope these insights are of value.

Let's revisit maternal employment.
• Women today are in the workforce in large numbers, representing 47 percent of the U.S. labor force.
• Sixty-five percent of married mothers with children worked outside the home in 2011, compared with 37 percent in 1965.
A recent Pew survey titled "Breadwinner Moms" notes that those polled agree that the family benefits economically when mothers work, but 74 percent think it makes it harder to raise children, and half think it is harder on marriages. When asked if women should return to their traditional role, 79 percent disagree, but half think children are better off with Mom at home.
This has long been a controversial subject. Millions of words have been written on whether children are better off with mother at home versus being in child care or tended by a sitter or nanny, and how maternal employment affects the mother.
Everybody knows that children need parenting. The human mammal is helpless at birth, and it takes at least two decades of family care to teach children all they must know to survive on their own.
For most of human history, childrearing was shared by the extended family. The mother-alone model is a product of the Industrial Revolution that separated work and home, and a patriarchal culture that depended on the domesticity of women.
Last week in a New York Times op-ed piece, Stephanie Coontz, who teaches history and family studies at the Evergreen State College in Washington, noted evidence that working outside the home and a woman's well being are correlated. "At all income levels stay-at-home mothers report more sadness, anger, and episodes of depression than their employed counterparts," she wrote, citing the latest Pew study. And Adrianne Frech and Sarah Damaske's longitudinal study of employed women found that they are in better physical and mental health at age 40 than women who did not work for pay.
And what do we know about the children? Are children of employed mothers different from those raised by a stay-at-home mother? Studies have not found a difference in children's school achievement or behavior. Yes, employed mothers in 1985 spent less time with their children than in 1965. But the good news is that both mothers and fathers spend more time with their children today. Coontz writes, "Employed moms spend fewer hours per week with their children than stay-at-home mothers but spend more time with their children than homemakers did in 1965!"
Participatory fatherhood may be one of the best things going for today's families and children. My son is a full-time dad during the day when his wife works. Father works at night. Baby, who will be a year old this week, is thriving. Children whose parents share in child-rearing are enriched by contact with two loving adults. And children need a father who is in their lives.
I know from personal experience that a mother working outside the home can raise children with strong values, high morals and good manners. My mother worked and both my sister and I turned out well. I worked outside the home and my children make me proud. Did I ever wish my mother was home when I was growing up? Of course I did. Did my children wish I spent more time with them? I know they did because they did not hesitate to tell me so then and again when they were grown!
Was it difficult to have a demanding job and raise children? Very much so, but I was willing to accept big trade-offs. I never had enough time to do many things that I wanted to do. I had little time for friends or entertaining. Because I love to fly, if time permitted I would have taken flying lessons.
When it came to discretionary use of time, I chose to put my children first because I wanted to be with them. On beach vacations I watched parents wind-surf or scuba all day long while the kids stayed with sitters. I planned our vacations so I could spend time with my children building sand castles or beachcombing for shells. (Right, I never learned how to scuba either!)
The Mommy Wars between those mothers employed outside the home and those stay-at-home mothers is so yesterday.
Our task today is to figure out what happened to the former two-parent family, the traditional American family with strong values that built the American middle class. Bad news from Pew: In 40 percent of households with children, the mother is the sole or major breadwinner. These "breadwinner mothers" come in two distinct groups: 37 percent are married and earn more money than their husbands do, so this arrangement makes economic sense; 63 percent are single mothers. The first group has a median income close to $80,000; the latter group earns a meager $23,000. Children raised in poverty and inadequately educated by inferior schools can grow up to be a drain on the economy instead of contributing members of society.
What I wrote in this column in 1997, still stands: Our nation needs to commit to the reality of today's families.
If policy makers were realistic and stopped pretending all mothers are at home, public preschool would start at age 3, parental leave would available to all parents, and there would be quality child care for all families who needed it.
Do we want family values? We better start by valuing families, the kinds of families we need to rebuild our middle class and help us prosper as a nation. And we better start quickly before the American Dream turns into a nightmare.

Yay, i mean, yeah nobody should ever surf there ever. It sucks and is never even worth checking, just go to a different beach.
Yay, i mean, yeah nobody should ever surf there ever. It sucks and is never even worth checking, just go to a different beach.
Welcome to the east coast. Did you move here from somewhere else?
Yo...the last time I checked we lived on the east coast. Unless your a lucky Hatteras resident, this is the hand we are all delt. Embrace what we have...Wrightsville AND CB are better than most places in North and South Carolina. I suggest some wave therapy for you my friend...book a ticket to central america and get lost in the jungles!!! :D
Every beach has its days, man. The bridge is always open at CB!
I'm sitting 200 miles away from the beach watching a live cam while a dozen surfers catching nice waist high peelers 50 yards from the door of my beach place. It sucks, but that is definitely a first world problem. It's homecoming weekend at my high school. I coach and teach and blew of homecoming last year to surf ankle biters...
I caught it awesome in CB yesterday around low tide when the wind died out. WB hasn't been working since the last swell, but the banks have been pretty effed up for most of the year it seems.
CB has a better swell window for ENE swells, but gets a lot choppier when the wind is from the North. Guess you can't have it both ways--I got lucky with the wind going slack.
CB is where I go mostly because of the crowds and ego's BUT if the winds are blowing NE and there is swell then the spot to be is Masonboro hands down..
Good luck and let me know if you find that sweet spot ;)
No, don't go to Topsail. Wicked closeouts all the time. Break your neck.
At least you have Mercer's pier and Wilmington. You could be stuck down in Oak Island. That's waaay crappier. I'd trade Norfolk for Wilmington, and 1st Street for that tight little spot at the pier any time. Plus the people are better down there than in the 757. (stereotyped, not on a case by case basis) Guess I shouldn't say "better", I'll leave it at friendlier.

Carbine Williams
A friend gave me a rifle to look at which I believe is a Carbine Williams (M2) but do not know for sure. It is marked with serial numbers etc including what appears to be the date 1942. It looks similar to the WWII M1 but the stock appears like a standard rifle. The only name anywhere is on the rear site that says "Williams". Can anyone provide information on this rifle or tell me where I can obtain information. It is a very unique rifle.

IIRC, M2 Carbines were a selective fire (full auto), Class III weapon.
While "Carbine Williams" is credited in some circles with the development of the M1 Carbine, I've never heard of an M1 or M2 Carbine referred to as a "Carbine Williams" or "Williams Carbine". Some pics, especially of the markings/stampings, would help to clarify what you were shown. . |

I think he was credited with the short stroke piston not the final design of the military carbine of the U.S. forces.

The Williams of Williams Gun Sight Co. was not, as far as I know, connected in any way with David Marshall "Carbine" Williams. They are still in business:
http://www.williamsgunsight.com/about_us.htm I once got called down on another site for saying that soldiers generally called the WWII rifle the "M1" rather than the "Garand". The other poster called me several kinds of names and questioned my intelligence, sanity and ancestry. So if one must cater to those folks and call the M1 rifle a "Garand", why not call the M1 carbine a "Williams"? Jim

And: Sergeant: "What is the nomenclature of this rifle?" Soldier: "This is the US Rifle, caliber .30, M1." Sergeant: "Describe this rifle." Soldier: "The US Rifle, caliber .30, M1 is a semi-automatic, gas operated, air cooled, clip loaded, self feeding shoulder weapon." That from over fifty five years ago! Bob Wright |

Well, this guy claimed that everyone in the Army knew all about John C. Garand and that they almost always called the rifle by his name. I don't know how old he is, but in my experience no one old enough to have carried one called it anything but the "M1". The ones who call it a Garand seem to be the generations who never carried one and often have never actually seen one outside books.

I was in a navy reserve unit on active duty in the 1970s, and everyone, including the armorers, referred to the Garand as the "M1". Everyone also referred to the .30 M1 Carbine as the "carbine". |

Maybe I will refer him to you the next time, but there won't be a next time; I won't respond to one of his asinine posts again. I was told he had been barred from several sites because whatever someone said, he argued with them and got into name-calling contests.

Yeah. Most current soldiers have no idea who Eugene Stoner is either.

A further word about soldiers and the use of the name "Garand."
When I was in the Army in basic training, the draft was still very much in effect. When told the M1 was gas operated, many asked questions such as "How (Or where) do you get the gas in?" And, "How long does the gas last?" or , "How often do you have to fill it up?" These were serious questions, not smart alecks trying to sharp shoot the instructor. If any recruits were at all familiar with rifles, it was a.22 or a .30-30. You think these boys knew who John C. Garand was? Not a chance. Bob Wright |

In fairness, soldiers in WWII or at least the early part, were probably more likely to know the name Garand because the popular press had covered the Johnson-Garand controversy (poorly as usual when it comes to guns), and the American Rifleman had run several articles on the new rifle. (The NRA had less than 30,000 members at the time, but the magazine probably reached more.) Other magazines had run articles also, so the name Garand was "out there" at that time.
Still, the official nomenclature was the "U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, M1"*, and that is what it was called by rifle instructors. To cause further confusion, the Army had decided in the late 1920's to begin using a new nomenclature system to replace the old model year system. The first service rifle to be adopted after that was the "Garand" rifle, so it was called the "M1". There was also an M1 tank, M1 truck, M1 helmet, M1 carbine, M1 submachinegun, and so on. In spite of the multiplicity of "M1's", when a soldier said, "Hand me my M1", he was talking about his rifle, not a tank or a helmet. The M1 carbine was always the "carbine" and the M1 SMG, like its M1928A1 predecessor, was a "Tommy gun." The term "M1 carbine" was never used unless there was a need to distinguish it from the M2 carbine. *The first nomenclature was U.S. Semiautomatic Rifle, M1" and the first 80 rifles were marked "U.S./SEMIAUTO. RIFLE/CAL. .30 M1". At serial number 81, that was changed to the familiar marking that was used to the end of production. Jim

Ever since May 2001, the lovable ogre Shrek has become a household name. Today, with three more movies added to the franchise, Shrek and his friends are more popular than ever!
All the movies are hilarious! I can't say enough good things about them. It's such a great animated film that you can take the whole family to. My kids loved it and I think my husband and I were laughing even harder than they were.
For the past eight years, Halloween costumes for the Shrek characters fly off the shelves during the holiday and this year will be no different. There's so many great characters to choose from when it comes to picking out your Halloween costume; Princess Fiona, Donkey, Puss in Boots and the Three Blind Mice are so much fun to dress up as.
Since the latest movie in the series was just released a couple months ago called "Shrek Forever After", Shrek and his friends are back on the scene!

Mike Gregoire, state VA Director John Lee and SCC President Lee Lambert (from left) after signing an agreement designating Shorelineas a veterans friendly campus. More photos
Shoreline Community College is now officially "veterans friendly."
"As a veteran and an Army brat, I understand the difficulty of transitioning from the team-oriented structure of the military to the less structured environment of college," SCC President Lee Lambert told the audience before the signing. "I couldn't be prouder of this college and the efforts to make our veterans feel welcome."
The designation became official with the signing of a memorandum of understanding signed March 4, 2010, at the college's 2nd Annual Veterans Roundtable. Signing the agreement were SCC President Lee Lambert, state Veterans Affairs Director John Lee and Mike Gregoire, husband of Gov. Chris Gregoire and an advocate for veterans.
"I'm very pleased to see a campus so dedicated to veterans and veterans' issues," Gregoire said. A Vietnam veteran, Gregoire said he was fortunate to have an older brother who'd also served there for someone to talk to about the experience.
Also a Vietnam veteran, VA Director Lee noted that the commitment of Shoreline Community College is indicative of the huge shift in public support from the Vietnam era. "I was there in 1968-69," Lee said, adding that the reception for many returning Vietnam veterans was not supportive. "Now, whether you support the conflict or not, no one is making disparaging remarks about the men and women who are serving."
Lee said the agreement's designation represents more than being just friendly to veterans. "The U.S. has the best veteran's benefits in the world," Lee said. "They are also the most complicated."
To help navigate those benefits, Shoreline Community College has a designated adviser, a Certifying Official, necessary for military transcript and record review as well as advising on various GI Bill benefits.
Robert Lemmons said during a panel discussion that finding that dedicated adviser was a pleasant surprise when he arrived at Shoreline to use his benefits. "They are a big help," Lemmons said.
Panel member Emily Oelnick echoed the feeling.
"I enlisted when I was 18. I went from my mom to the Army," Oelnick said. "When I got here, I was cut off from the support system I'd had in the Army. I didn't know anything. The Certifying Official took care of everything, had all my paperwork ready to go."
The agreement actually makes Shoreline a member of Partners for Veteran Supportive Campuses. As a partner campus, Shoreline will work to:
"We want veterans to know that we are here to help them in any way," said Kim Thompson, Director of Special Services at Shoreline Community College.

I bought this at the asian market for three reasons. 1, it was cheap, 2, I needed more tea tins, and 3, I was curious of the quality of the tea these little asian markets carry.
this tea certainly isn't bad, it's actually far better than I would expect from a any place whose purpose isn't solely dedicated to tea sales. the quality of the rolled leaves is uniform and the color is pretty consistent. the major flaws I've seen in my various infusions are finding a few stems and a slight chemically processed odor that I can't tell if it's actuall in the leaf processing or the container or the proximity to other weird asian market smells that permeates everything. the smell seemed to go away after rinsing.
While not as good as other Tung Tings I've had, not a bad tea to have lying around to brew for people and when you're indecisive about what you want to drink.
The price is worth it just for the

Goodbye baby... I'll miss you!x So this is for my loan horse... His owner decided to sell him and yesterday text me to tell me he leaves Friday. It's happened so fast, I thought we'd have a while longer together but it seems he will be gone so soon. Today I went to his paddock and just sat with him while he ate grass, watching him made me realise the harsh reality that tomorrow will be the last chance I get to be with him. It was so hard to sit and talk to him like nothing was going to happen, I honestly don't know what I'm going to do without him. I'm dreading tomorrow as I don't know how it's going to be, it will be the last time I see him forever and I know it's gong to be one of the hardest things to do, I want to stay strong for him but it feels like all I want to do is scream, shout and cry. There's so much to say and so many plans we had but so little time. Tomorrow is going to be one of the hardest days of my life, but I have to stay strong for him. God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers but it feels like I get knocked down, pick myself up and then get knocked again. I finally thought that this time it would all workout especially after Sonnys death I just needed some stability. I'm crying as I write this because I know tomorrow is going to be so tough it's unbelievable. This is only for you now baby, your going to have such a great life and your going to be so happy! I'll miss you and I will never forget you! I will always love you forever with all my heart and soal! Please don't be upset, enjoy your life and don't forget I will always love you for eternity! Tomorrow will be hard on us both but we will get through it! I love you baby!!!:)<3 |

In approximately seven years, Water Planet has experienced growth and success in the water treatment market. Founded by Eric Hoek, former...
The attorneys general of six Northeast states are suing the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over a change to rules governing the
regulation of water in equipment power plants, the Associated Press reported.
In the lawsuit filed on Monday in the 1st U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals in the states argue that the apparent relaxing of the requirement
for power plants to install "best technologies" will soon degrade the waterways
from which the plants pull their cooling water. They have asked the court to
review the change and want the EPA to halt the rule from going into effect
until the petition has been resolved, the Associated Press reported.
Rhode Island is the chief plaintiff in this case. The other
states involved are Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New
The Clean Water Act requires power plants to obtain permits
for water intake from and discharge to public sources. Cooling water intake
structures, according to this law, must "reflect the best technology
available for minimizing adverse environmental impact."
The attorneys general claim that EPA has raised cost above
environmental impact to make price the primary criterion as to whether a plant
needs to upgrade to newer, more environmentally friendly technology, the
Associated Press reported.
The attorneys general claim the EPA has tweaked the rules by
lending a more sympathetic ear to the costs of upgrading to closed-cycle
technology, which reduces the total amount of water the plants need to use.
Most plants have a once-through cooling system, which has no
recycling capabilities. Water is drawn in, used to cool the system, and then
discharged back into the source from which it came. Closed-cycle technology,
which recycles cooling tower water, thus reducing the amount drawn from and
discharged into surrounding waterways, is now available. However, the law
states plants can get relief from such technology if the costs are "wholly
disproportionate" to the benefits, the Associated Press reported.
Rhode Island initiated the lawsuit primarily because of a
battle it has been having for years with the Brayton Point power plant in
Somerset, Mass. This power plant discharges approximately 1 billion gallons of
water per day into Mount Hope Bay at a temperature 30 degrees warmer than when
it was taken from the bay. The bay, which is shared by Massachusetts and Rhode
Island, has experienced a crash in the fish population,, which the state of
Rhode Island blames on these heated discharges. Environmental organizations
make the same charges.
Point has appealed the guidelines to the Environmental Appeals Board in
Washington. It also has said it would challenge the EPA's assessment of the
plant's damage to the bay, the Associated Press reported.

World Climate Zones
Have you ever wondered why one area of the world is a desert, another a grassland, and another a rainforest? Why are there different forests and deserts, and why are there different types of life in each area? The answer is climate.Climate is the characteristic condition of the atmosphere near the earth's surface at a certain place on earth. It is the long-term weather of that area (at least 30 years). This includes the region's general pattern of weather conditions, seasons and weather extremes like hurricanes, droughts, or rainy periods. Two of the most important factors determining an area's climate are air temperature and precipitation.
World biomes are controlled by climate. The climate of a region will determine what plants will grow there, and what animals will inhabit it. All three components, climate, plants and animals are interwoven to create the fabric of a biome.
Some facts about climate
The sun's rays hit the equator at a direct angle between 23 ° N and 23 ° S latitude. Radiation that reaches the atmosphere here is at its most intense.
In all other cases, the rays arrive at an angle to the surface and are less intense. The closer a place is to the poles, the smaller the angle and therefore the less intense the radiation.
Our climate system is based on the location of these hot and cold air-mass regions and the atmospheric circulation created by trade winds and westerlies.
Trade winds north of the equator blow from the northeast. South of the equator, they blow from the southeast. The trade winds of the two hemispheres meet near the equator, causing the air to rise. As the rising air cools, clouds and rain develop. The resulting bands of cloudy and rainy weather near the equator create tropical conditions.
Westerlies blow from the southwest on the Northern Hemisphere and from the northwest in the Southern Hemisphere. Westerlies steer storms from west to east across middle latitudes.
Both westerlies and trade winds blow away from the 30 ° latitude belt. Over large areas centered at 30 ° latitude, surface winds are light. Air slowly descends to replace the air that blows away. Any moisture the air contains evaporates in the intense heat. The tropical deserts, such as the Sahara of Africa and the Sonoran of Mexico, exist under these regions.
The Earth rotates about its axis, which is tilted at 23.5 degrees. This tilt and the sun's radiation result in the Earth's seasons. The sun emits rays that hit the earth's surface at different angles. These rays transmit the highest level of energy when they strike the earth at a right angle (90 °). Temperatures in these areas tend to be the hottest places on earth. Other locations, where the sun's rays hit at lesser angles, tend to be cooler.
As the Earth rotates on it's tilted axis around the sun, different parts of the Earth receive higher and lower levels of radiant energy. This creates the seasons.
Three basic climate groups.
Three major climate groups show the dominance of special combinations of air-mass source regions.
Group I
Low-latitude Climates: These climates are controlled by equatorial a tropical air masses.
- Tropical Moist Climates (Af) rainforest
Rainfall is heavy in all months. The total annual rainfall is often more than 250 cm. (100 in.). There are seasonal differences in monthly rainfall but temperatures of 27°C (80°F) mostly stay the same. Humidity is between 77 and 88%.
High surface heat and humidity cause cumulus clouds to form early in the afternoons almost every day.
The climate on eastern sides of continents are influenced by maritime tropical air masses. These air masses flow out from the moist western sides of oceanic high-pressure cells, and bring lots of summer rainfall. The summers are warm and very humid. It also rains a lot in the winter
- Average temperature: 18 °C (°F)
- Annual Precipitation: 262 cm. (103 in.)
- Latitude Range: 10° S to 25 ° N
- Global Position: Amazon Basin; Congo Basin of equatorial Africa; East Indies, from Sumatra to New Guinea.
- Wet-Dry Tropical Climates (Aw) savanna
A seasonal change occurs between wet tropical air masses and dry tropical air masses. As a result, there is a very wet season and a very dry season. Trade winds dominate during the dry season. It gets a little cooler during this dry season but will become very hot just before the wet season.
- Temperature Range: 16 °C
- Annual Precipitation: 0.25 cm. (0.1 in.). All months less than 0.25 cm. (0.1 in.)
- Latitude Range: 15 ° to 25 ° N and S
- Global Range: India, Indochina, West Africa, southern Africa, South America and the north coast of Australia
- Dry Tropical Climate (BW) desert biome
These desert climates are found in low-latitude deserts approximately between 18° to 28° in both hemispheres. these latitude belts are centered on the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, which lie just north and south of the equator. They coincide with the edge of the equatorial subtropical high pressure belt and trade winds. Winds are light, which allows for the evaporation of moisture in the intense heat. They generally flow downward so the area is seldom penetrated by air masses that produce rain. This makes for a very dry heat. The dry arid desert is a true desert climate, and covers 12 % of the Earth's land surface.
- Temperature Range: 16° C
- Annual Precipitation: 0.25 cm (0.1 in). All months less than 0.25 cm (0.1 in).
- Latitude Range: 15° - 25° N and S.
- Global Range: southwestern United States and northern Mexico; Argentina; north Africa; south Africa; central part of Australia.
Group II
Mid-latitude Climates: Climates in this zone are affected by two different air-masses. The tropical air-masses are moving towards the poles and the polar air-masses are moving towards the equator. These two air masses are in constant conflict. Either air mass may dominate the area, but neither has exclusive control.
- Dry Midlatitude Climates (BS) steppe
Characterized by grasslands, this is a semiarid climate. It can be found between the desert climate (BW) and more humid climates of the A, C, and D groups. If it received less rain, the steppe would be classified as an arid desert. With more rain, it would be classified as a tallgrass prairie.
This dry climate exists in the interior regions of the North American and Eurasian continents. Moist ocean air masses are blocked by mountain ranges to the west and south. These mountain ranges also trap polar air in winter, making winters very cold. Summers are warm to hot.
- Temperature Range: 24° C (43° F).
- Annual Precipitation: less than 10 cm (4 in) in the driest regions to 50 cm (20 in) in the moister steppes.
- Latitude Range: 35° - 55° N.
- Global Range: Western North America (Great Basin, Columbia Plateau, Great Plains); Eurasian interior, from steppes of eastern Europe to the Gobi Desert and North China.
- Mediterranean Climate (Cs) chaparral biome
This is a wet-winter, dry-summer climate. Extremely dry summers are caused by the sinking air of the subtropical highs and may last for up to five months.
Plants have adapted to the extreme difference in rainfall and temperature between winter and summer seasons. Sclerophyll plants range in formations from forests, to woodland, and scrub. Eucalyptus forests cover most of the chaparral biome in Australia.
Fires occur frequently in Mediterranean climate zones.
- Temperature Range: 7 °C (12 °F)
- Annual Precipitation: 42 cm (17 in).
- Latitude Range: 30° - 50° N and S
- Global Position: central and southern California; coastal zones bordering the Mediterranean Sea; coastal Western Australia and South Australia; Chilean coast; Cape Town region of South Africa.
- Dry Midlatitude Climates (Bs) grasslands biome
These dry climates are limited to the interiors of North America and Eurasia.
Ocean air masses are blocked by mountain ranges to the west and south. This allows polar air masses to dominate in winter months. In the summer, a local continental air mass is dominant. A small amount of rain falls during this season.
Annual temperatures range widely. Summers are warm to hot, but winters are cold.
- Temperature Range: 31 °C (56°F).
- Annual Precipitation: 81 cm. (32 in.).
- Latitude Range: 30° - 55° N and S
- Global Position: western North America (Great Basin, Columbia Plateau, Great Plains); Eurasian interior.
- Moist Continental Climate (Cf) Deciduous Forest biome
This climate is in the polar front zone - the battleground of polar and tropical air masses. Seasonal changes between summer and winter are very large. Daily temperatures also change often. Abundant precipitation falls throughout the year. It is increased in the summer season by invading tropical air masses. Cold winters are caused by polar and arctic masses moving south.
- Temperature Range: 31 °C (56 ° F)
- Average Annual Precipitation: 81 cm (32 in).
- Latitude Range: 30° - 55° N and S (Europe: 45° - 60° N).
- Global Position: eastern parts of the United States and southern Canada; northern China; Korea; Japan; central and eastern Europe.

Sockets are an important part of the modern programmer's armory. To read this article, you are making extensive use of sockets – the article itself, and each image, come down a socket to your machine, and perhaps two, if you're reading this at work, behind a router. Communicating with other machines lets you spread computationally expensive tasks, share data and so on. Yet the Framework doesn't provide as good a toolkit as it does for, for example, Windows Forms (unless you are doing something 'standard' like making HTTP requests). If someone sends me some data, or connects to my server, I want an event to be thrown, just like if someone presses a button on my form.
There are also problems with networks, and specifically with TCP. Connections can be lost at any time, so an OnDisconnect event would be nice so that we can take appropriate action if this happens. (The appropriate action varies from a message box to cleaning up information stored on a server about the client who disappeared.) What I send as one message can arrive as several, or vice versa; while TCP guarantees that data arrives in the right order (if it arrives at all), it has no concept of individual messages.
I have written a small assembly which provides event-driven client-server communication over TCP (using the tools provided in System.Net.Sockets). It also specifies a simple message-based protocol so that you can keep your messages together, although you don't have to use it.
A client is the term for a user who connects to a server, typically to request data. Your browser acts as a client while it downloads material from the Internet. For most problems, there is one server and many clients, and if you're writing an application which talks to existing servers, all you need to use is a client socket.
Creating a client socket with ordinary .NET functions is slightly messy, so I provide a cover. And once you have the socket, you need to create an instance of ClientInfo to get event-driven access to the data.
// At the top of the file, you will always need using System.Net.Sockets; using RedCorona.Net; class SimpleClient{ ClientInfo client; void Start(){ Socket sock = Sockets.CreateTCPSocket("www.myserver.com", 2345); client = new ClientInfo(sock, false); // Don't start receiving yet client.OnReadBytes += new ConnectionReadBytes(ReadData); client.BeginReceive(); } void ReadData(ClientInfo ci, byte[] data, int len){ Console.WriteLine("Received "+len+" bytes: "+ System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(data, 0, len)); } }
Et voilà, you can receive data! (Assuming you have a server that sends you some, of course.) To send text data, use client.Send("text"). ClientInfo exposes the socket it is using, so to send binary data, use client.Socket.Send().
Receiving data with OnReadBytes doesn't guarantee your messages arrive in one piece, though. ClientInfo provides two ways to keep messages together, one suitable for simplistic text messaging and one suitable for arbitrary message-based communication.
Often, being able to pass text with a suitable end marker, often a new line, is all we need in an application. Similar things can then be done with data received like this as with command strings. To do this, assign a handler to the OnRead event:
class TextClient{ ClientInfo client; void Start(){ Socket sock = Sockets.CreateTCPSocket("www.myserver.com", 2345); client = new ClientInfo(sock, false); // Don't start receiving yet client.OnRead += new ConnectionRead(ReadData); client.Delimiter = '\n'; // this is the default, shown for illustration client.BeginReceive(); } void ReadData(ClientInfo ci, String text){ Console.WriteLine("Received text message: "+text); } }
Now, any data received will be interpreted as text (UTF8 text, to be precise), and ReadData() will be called whenever a newline is found. Note that if the data is not text (and is not valid UTF8), invalid characters will be replaced with '?' – so don't use this method unless you know you are always handling text.
For more advanced applications, you may want to pass a byte stream (which can represent anything), but still keep the message together. This is typically done by sending the length first, and ClientInfo does the same thing. To use this protocol, you need to put the client into a messaged mode and use OnReadMessage():
class MessageClient{ ClientInfo client; void Start(){ Socket sock = Sockets.CreateTCPSocket("www.myserver.com", 2345); client = new ClientInfo(sock, false); // Don't start receiving yet client.MessageMode = MessageMode.Length; client.OnReadMessage += new ConnectionRead(ReadData); client.BeginReceive(); } void ReadData(ClientInfo ci, uint code, byte[] bytes, int len){ Console.WriteLine("Received "+len+" bytes: "+ System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes, 0, len)); } }
In the current version, a 4-byte length parameter is sent before the data (big-endian); for example, a message containing the word "Bob" would have the byte form 00 00 00 03 42(B) 6F(o) 62(b). Obviously, the other end of the connection needs to be using the same protocol! You can send messages, in the same format, using client.SendMessage(code, bytes).
00 00 00 03 42(B) 6F(o) 62(b)
client.SendMessage(code, bytes)
By now, you're probably wondering what that uint code is all about. As well as MessageType.Length, there is also a MessageType.CodeAndLength which lets you specify a 4-byte code to be sent with each message. (It is sent before the length.) The event handler in this type of an application will typically be something like:
uint code
void ReadData(ClientInfo ci, uint code, byte[] bytes, int len){ switch(code){ case 0: Console.WriteLine("A message: "+ System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes, 0, len)); break; case 1: Console.WriteLine("An error: "+ System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes, 0, len)); break; // ... etc } }
If I were to send the message "Bob" with the tag 0x12345678, its byte stream would be 12 34 56 78 00 00 00 03 42 6F 62.
As well as receiving and sending information (just like a client), a server has to keep track of who is connected to it. It is also useful to be able to broadcast messages, that is send them to every client currently connected (for example, a message indicating the server is about to be taken down for maintenance).
Below is a simple server class which simply 'bounces' messages back where they came from, unless they start with '!' in which case it broadcasts them.
class SimpleServer{ Server server; ClientInfo client; void Start(){ server = new Server(2345, new ClientEvent(ClientConnect)); } bool ClientConnect(Server serv, ClientInfo new_client){ new_client.Delimiter = '\n'; new_client.OnRead += new ConnectionRead(ReadData); return true; // allow this connection } void ReadData(ClientInfo ci, String text){ Console.WriteLine("Received from "+ci.ID+": "+text); if(text[0] == '!') server.Broadcast(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(text)); else ci.Send(text); } }
As you can see, the Connect handler is passed a ClientInfo, which you can treat in the same way as a client (assign the appropriate OnReadXxx handler and MessageType). You can also reject a connection by returning false from Connect. In addition to Broadcast(), there is a BroadcastMessage() if you are using messaged communication.
ClientInfos are assigned an ID when they are created, controlled by the static NextID property. They will be unique within a running application unless you reset NextID at any time after creating one. A server application will often want to keep track of a client's transactions. You can do this in two ways:
void ConnectionClosed(ClientInfo ci){ myHashtable.Remove(ci.ID); }
... to make sure the data is cleaned up.
This library includes the ability to protect a socket, using the encryption algorithm I wrote about here. This can be turned on by passing a value for encryptionType in the ClientInfo constructor or setting the EncryptionType property before calling BeginReceive, and setting the DefaultEncryptionType property on the server:
public void EncryptionExamples() { // Client, Method 1: call the full constructor ClientInfo encrypted1 = new ClientInfo(socket1, null, myReadBytesHandler, ClientDirection.Both, true, EncryptionType.ServerKey); // Client, Method 2: delay receiving and set EncryptionType ClientInfo encrypted2 = new ClientInfo(socket2, false); encrypted2.EncryptionType = EncryptionType.ServerRSAClientKey; encrypted2.OnReadBytes = myReadBytesHandler; encrypted2.BeginReceive(); // Server: set DefaultEncryptionType server = new Server(2345, new ClientConnect(ClientConnect)); server.DefaultEncryptionType = EncryptionType.ServerRSAClientKey; }
There are three encryption modes supported. The first, None, performs no encryption, and is the default. EncryptionType.ServerKey means that the server sends a symmetric key for the connection when the client first connects; because the key is sent unencrypted, this is not very secure, but it does mean that the communication is not in plain text. The most secure method is ServerRSAClientKey: the server will send an RSA public key upon connection, and the client will generate a symmetric key and encrypt it with the RSA key before sending it to the server. This means the key is never visible to a third party and the connection is quite secure; to access the message you would need to break the encryption algorithm.
If you choose to use encrypted sockets, very little is different in your application code. However, in your server, you should respond to the ClientReady event, not ClientConnect, in most cases. ClientReady is called when key exchange is complete and a client is ready to send and receive data; attempting to send data to a client before this event will result in an exception. Similarly, if you want to send data through an encrypted client socket, you should respond to the OnReady event or check the EncryptionReady property before sending data.

What games and storylines will be most intriguing in 2017?
Wondering what to do with time spent not watching the Packers? Need a reason to flip channels during commercials? Andrew Garda is here with three games worth keeping an eye on this Sunday.
Garda stops flaking and watching college basketball long enough to catch you up to date on his thoughts on the playoffs and the idiocy of changing successful coaches.
Garda gets off hs lazy rear-end and gets back to work between Rutgers basketball games to write up some NFL thoughts including the shifting Jets-Bills game, the Chiefs bein' the Chiefs as well as thoughts on the playoff pictures of both conferences.
It was a good day for former Green Bay Packers tight ends on Tuesday....
Garda is back and he's here to remind you that some good has happened in the NFL in the past week or so, despite the Ray Rice disaster.
Garda is back with Day 4 of his Giants notes from East Rutherford as well as news and notes from around the NFL.
Knowing as little about the AFC as I do, I checked in earlier this week with a friend of mine, Aviel, who is as hardcore a fan of the Steelers as I am of the Packers. More so, in fact, since she went to the 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers Women's Training Camp (dear Packers, please have one of these). I expect that I'll pick her brain when the Steelers-Packers game approaches, but this week, she offered an AFC North insider's look at the Baltimore Ravens.
So, basically, I decided that my normal stats overview wouldn't be enough for this game. If this is a show-me game for the Packers, I ought to put in my best effort as well. Through the lens of Football Outsiders, the matchup is a unique one for the Packers on both sides of the ball. Instead of taking you to FO, I've decided to bring the stats to you. I warn you that this post is not for the faint of heart – if you are anti-math, I understand if you don't read further. Numbers, ahoy!
Welcome to another edition of Opposition Research, where I'll be taking a look at the Packers primetime opponent, the Baltimore Ravens. Aaron and Corey covered a lot of ground during last night's interviews with Ravens experts Chris Pika and John Eisenberg, so make sure you watch the show first. As an NFC-oriented fan, the AFC has always seemed a little strange to me, so figuring out this matchup has been an adventure. Without further ado, let's dive in to Week 13.

ASN's Scientific Sessions & Annual Meeting at Experimental Biology 2014 is now just days away in San Diego. Attendees from across the country and around the world are preparing to join the world's premiere conference for nutrition experts. One of those experts, Public Information Committee (PIC) Chair Dr. Mary Ann Johnson recently took time out of her own preparations to speak with ASN. Dr. Johnson is the Bill and June Flatt Professor in Foods and Nutrition and Faculty of Gerontology at the University of Georgia. There she also serves as Graduate Coordinator in Foods and Nutrition and as an Adjunct Professor in Kinesiology. In this interview, Dr. Johnson tells us what to expect from the PIC symposium Sustainable Diets for Healthy People, Healthy Planet, which is scheduled for Wednesday, April 30 from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Presenters at the symposium, supported by the Dairy Research Institute, include Greg Thoma, University of Arkansas; David Klurfeld, USDA ARS; Adam Drewnowski, University of Washington; and Robert Burns of the Grocery Manufacturers Association. Chairs for the symposium are past PIC Chair Jeannie Gazzaniga-Moloo (California State University, Sacramento) and Nancy Auestad (Dairy Research Institute). Dr. Johnson also discusses the annual media award, and we hear from the recipient, Mary MacVean, Los Angeles Times.
Interviewer: What programming at EB are you most looking forward to?
Dr. Johnson: I enjoy the Council and Committee functions, as this is usually the one time a year we meet face-to-face. It gives us a unique opportunity to reflect on what is working well at this year's meeting and finalize plans for next year's meeting.
Interviewer: Are there any symposia that are of particular interest to you?
Dr. Johnson: The program is excellent this year, as always. My interests are primarily in nutrition and chronic disease, especially how nutrition science is translated into practical advice. For me, the "must- see" symposia are: Unscientific Beliefs about Scientific Topics in Nutrition, Energy Drinks: Current Knowledge and Critical Research Gaps, Food and Nutrition Board Update – Nutrition and Population Health: Are Changes on the Horizon? and the USDA-REE Listening Session. I also strongly encourage attendees to spend time browsing the program beforehand, and to take advantage of the itinerary builder to make sure you don't miss any sessions you really want to see.
Interviewer: What is your role on the EB program subcommittee?
Dr. Johnson: The members of the EB program subcommittee review the symposia that have been submitted by our members and we recommend those with the best science and the newest science as well as those that will address future concerns. The goal is to create a well-rounded program that appeals to our members' diverse interests. That said, we are only one step in the process for putting together the program. Most of the proposals we receive have been endorsed by one of ASN's Research Interest Sections or by one of the three councils: Medical Nutrition Council, Global Nutrition Council, or Nutritional Sciences Council. These endorsements are important to have because it shows us the participants are already working with and getting feedback from other scientists in our society.
Interviewer: Do you have any advice for first-time EB attendees?
Dr. Johnson: For the first-time attendee, I would start by saying that it can be very challenging narrowing down the number of sessions you can go to, but do your best to prioritize. Make sure you also make time to go to a Research Interest Section (RIS) meeting. They vary in format, with some that are more formal and some that are more interactive, however in some fashion they all include time to get to know new members, so I think that is one of the best things a first-time attendee can do.
Interviewer: Looking ahead to 2015, can you identify any of the hot topics in nutrition coming down the line?
Dr. Johnson: We have already begun looking at proposals for next year's meeting. Based on what we are seeing so far, it appears that obesity (unsurprisingly) will continue to be a very important subject of discussion, at the basic science, clinical, translational levels, and in community settings. We are also going to continue to need the evidence base for a balanced diet. Other issues we need to be thinking about are those that consumers are most interested in: sustainability, whole foods, and novel food ingredients that may have specific health benefits.
Interviewer: What does your role as PIC Chair entail? What other activities does PIC oversee?
Dr. Johnson: As PIC chair, I work with our committee to develop new ways to communicate with both members and the public. Together, we work to spread our messages across both "old-school" and "new-school" social media channels in order to reach our diverse audience of students, postdocs, university faculty, scientists and reporters.
Our symposium is entitled Sustainable Diets for Healthy People, Healthy Planet. We are very excited because this session responds to the urgent societal need to produce, manufacture, consume, and dispose of our food waste in sustainable ways. To do so, we will be discussing everything from the role of agricultural production to grocery packaging and renewable energy. The other thing that makes this symposium unique is that it brings together groups of people who do not often have a chance to talk to each other about sustainability.
Another annual activity that PIC undertakes is nominating a journalist for ASN's Nutrition Science Media Award, which will be presented at the award ceremony on April 27. We solicit nominations from the membership and then evaluate each applicant. This year's winner is Mary MacVean, MS, from The Los Angeles Times, who has written extensively on gluten, farmers markets, prison gardens and dieting mythology.
Interview: Mary, as a reporter, you have a unique view of nutrition. What would you say is the most controversial issue in nutrition today?
MacVean: The hottest issue at the moment is sugar – in all its forms. From how it behaves in the body, to its hold on our cravings, to legislative debates over whether sugar-sweetened beverages should be taxed. I probably can't write enough about sugar, no matter how many stories I do. It's a high-stakes issue for the corporations that produce our food and beverages, too, of course. Aside from that, as people unendingly search for a silver bullet to their health and appearance, we'll hear much more about gluten, ancient grains and superfoods, and juicing. I thought that would be a short-lived notion, but every week I see new juicing shops open all over Los Angeles.
I am thrilled to be honored by the American Society for Nutrition. I have been a passionate food writer for a long time, since before the first round of nutrition facts panels on products. And I'm so happy to have my work recognized. The work of nutrition researchers plays such a strong role in the quality of people's everyday lives, and ASN's publications help so much in getting crucial information to us all.

We had a great time at Monica's apartment. Our room was small but really comfortable and clean. The location of the apartment is amazing - several stations of public transport nearby and only 10 minutes walk to Sagrada Familia. Monica is a friendly and helpful host. Definitely a good choice for a weekend trip to Barcelona!
The flat is well located and well equipped. The stay was perfect and I can totally recommend the room of Monica.
I with my friend stayed at Monica's apartment .We made a right choice. Monica is very hospitable , will never reject you to help .The apartment is situated near Sagrada familia ( only ten minutes on foot) and park Guel (15 minutes by bus , the bus station is on the corner of the house ).It takes u 5 minutes to get to metro station Clot , so u can go wherever u want easy . The area is safe and calm. But if u want to dance and so on , there are a lot of night clubs on the beach . U can go on foot (1 hour) or catch the train and go to metro station Barcelaneta . We are pleased with our trip , thanks for all, Monica
it has been a wonderful week end. the apartment is really near Sagrada Familia ( 10 minutes by walk), and near Train station Clot (it's the stop from the airport to the apartment).
in the apartment there are all the utilities from the kitchen, to the bathroom and a woderful terrace.
I'll be back as soon as possible
We spent one week at Monica's house. The apartment is nice and well placed; very near to the metro (Clot) and Sagrada Familia. Unfortunately in the last 2 days there was a problem in the bathroom, a great inconvenience.
Great location near the Sagrada Familia (10min walk) and the Clot metro station (airport connection train stops on this station). The room (B&W) is small but clean, with access to very nice roof terrace. Great choice for a few days stay in Barcelona.
Everything was fine. I really liked the roof terrance of the flat.
A really nice place to stay. Great flat, perfect location, escpecially the balcony was great. Linen, towel, wifi - everything was provided without any problems.
We definitely want to come back one day.
Note: as the walls are thin, it can be quite noisy.
Good place, Enjoyed my stay!! Thank you
Great stay, a very nice cute house very well located and communicated with public transport.
I will definitely be back.

Most individuals file either a Chapter 7 (also called "fresh start" or "liquidation") or a Chapter 13 (also called "personal reorganization"). Some indicators for Chapter 7 or 13 and a few "pros and cons" are:
Chapter 7
Heavy credit card; signature loans; medical debt. Monthly income is less than monthly living expenses.
Many debts can be forgiven outright without any repayment requirements. Only takes at few months.
Limit on how much property you can keep -- may have to give some assets to your creditors
Chapter 13
Foreclosure of home; IRS levy; significant assets you don't want to lose in a Chapter 7. Monthly income usually more than monthly living expenses.
Keep your property, save home from foreclosure, and control IRS with reduced monthly payment plan -- usually for 5 years.
Limit on how extravagantly you can live; must tighten belt. Excess income each month must be paid to creditors.

5 out of 5 stars Mommy Makeover
Mommy Makeover (TT, BL, BA) 28yr old mom of one (with photos)
Dr. Krau was recommended to me by a good family friend who has done a few surgeries with him and is very satisfied with the results. I met with him and a few other doctors in the area and I really liked him and his clinic best. Also, prior to meeting him I checked out his website, looked at before and after photos, and read reviews so I knew he does excellent work. And I am so glad I chose him. All the other reviews and all the photos do not even do him justice because he is really the best. He was very considerate of what I wanted and he made me look fantastic, even better than I ever imagined. I am so happy that I chose Dr. Krau to sculpt my dream body! I would definitely recommend him to everyone and in fact, I plan to do just that. If you want great results and a friendly face, Dr. Ary Krau is the man. I must also add, every good doctor must have a good team and his is fantastic. Really and truly. They are the best.

I deciided last year to start searching for the right doctor to help me . I found Dr. Ary Krau in Bal Harbour/Bay Harbor Island , Fl. I was treated with such kindness and care from the very 1st phone call. All my evaluations were done personally by the doctor himself.Dr. Krau is very attentive, calming & his expertise is second to none! My results after absolutely what I wanted and he is an amazing surgeon , not to mention a true artist . His nurse, Nora , was there every step of the way & I couldn't have done it without her . If you are considering breast surgery , I highly recommend you make your appt to see Dr Krau . I am thrilled and wouldnt change a thing!

I am so happy with my results. Dr. Krau and his staff are very nice and attentive. I even was able to contact the nurse after hours with questions. His office staff is very courteous and helpful. I am extremely glad I waited and had it done in Florida by Dr. Karu.

The UCLA Bruins got to work on Monday, practicing at Socorro High School in El Paso before being treated to a BBQ dinner with Northwestern. Players also participated in a talent show, which featured athletes from both teams. Northwestern had athletes sing, lipsynch and tell jokes. UCLA had players sing, play keyboard and finished the show with a soul train dance bonanza.
On Tuesday, the football team will head to Fort Bliss to have breakfast with the members of the Army stationed there. Practice will follow in the afternoon at Socorro HS.
