EAST GREENWICH – At its April 20 e-waste drive, Bridge Technical Talent collected nearly 4.5 tons of electronic waste, nearly 1.5 more tons than their spring drive last year.
According to Bridge, members from the community lined up on the rainy and windy spring day to drop off their 8,912 pounds of electronics to be properly recycled.
Office Recycling Solutions partnered with Bridge on the company's fifth e-waste drive, donating the use of their trucks and employees' time and also taking on the responsibility of sustainable donating all e-waste collected through the event.
Furthermore, nearly 1,300 pounds of paper were shredded at the event, courtesy of Affordable Shredding Inc.
Through this drive, Bridge raised $1,249 in donations to Oceans of Grace, the outreach ministry of First Lutheran Church of East Greenwich. The funds will be invested directly back into the community, as Oceans of Grace supports local people in need through outreach activities revolving around the three major themes of food, clothing and shelter.
Bridge's biannual drives are designed to help reduce the amount of hazardous electronic waste that ends up in community landfills, cutting communities' dumping costs and protecting the environment, while helping raise money for a good cause.
Bridge has scheduled their sixth e-waste drive for Saturday, Oct. 5, in the Texas Roadhouse parking lot in East Greenwich.

One of Hollywood's well-known actors is celebrating his 74th birthday today! We can't believe it!
Happy Birthday, Jack Nicholson! From Easy Rider, to Chinatown, to The Shining, to Batman, to The Departed, Jack has graced the silver screen in well-over 50 films since the 1950s! And not only is he a talented and very successful actor, but he's a devoted dad! His daughter Lorraine is even following in his acting footsteps!
Jack, who is currently single, has for kids, Jennifer, 48, with Sandra Knight, Honey, 30, with Winnie Hollman, and Lorraine, 21, and Ray, 18, with Rebecca Broussard.
I want to be inspirational, or some kind of good influence on them without overburdening them.
"It's their time of life to find out who they are," Jack says of Lorraine and Ray. "I always read to them, from childhood on; I think that's a father's responsibility. I took them to things I knew they might not love — opera, ballet. They like going to the ball games with me. And they are very comfortable around show business; they are good set rats. They walked in on my death scene in 'The Departed.' I said, "If I can get these two kids really worried, I'm doin' my job!"
Happy Birthday, Jack!

Mikey Garcia tops Juan Manuel Lopez, leaving WBO belt vacant
DALLAS (AP) Mikey Garcia quickly got over the disappointment of losing his crown.
Garcia stopped Juan Manuel Lopez in the fourth round Saturday night, leaving the WBO featherweight title vacant after Garcia failed to make weight.
Garcia (32-0) weighed in at 128 pounds Friday, two over the featherweight limit. Lopez weighed in at 125 1/2. Even though he tried to shed a couple pounds before the weigh-in, Garcia knew it was likely he was going to have to forfeit his title.
"The disappointment was there because I lost my title," Garcia said. "I was crying a little bit because I knew I wasn't the champion. But everybody got a chance to see I'm a good fighter. This was a satisfying victory."
Garcia put Lopez on the ground with a strong left-handed blow 1:34 into the fourth round for his 27th career knockout. The 25-year-old Californian connected on 53 punches - 40 of them jabs. Lopez connected on only 23 of 153 attempted punches.
Lopez (33-3) would have regained the title with a win.
"It's not that I wanted to make a statement," Garcia said. "We just had a really good night."
Garcia won the title from Orlando Salido in a unanimous decision in New York on Jan. 19. The title reign, however, was short-lived after Garcia didn't make weight.
The only two losses of Lopez's career were to Salido. The first one cost him the WBO belt, and the second led to a one-year suspension by Puerto Rican boxing officials when he accused the referee who stopped the fight of betting on the match.
Lopez had won twice since his one-year ban ended, beating Aldimar Silva Santos in February and knocking out Eugenio Lopez in an undercard bout in Mexico City in April.
Garcia's plan was to attack early with the jab and step back from Lopez before attacking. With a majority of fans chanting his first name early, Garcia came out and landed a series of jabs in the first round.
In the second round, Garcia knocked Lopez down with a right cross. Lopez quickly rose to his feet and completed the round. Garcia finished off the 29-year-old Lopez two rounds later.
"I was able to land my jab and stand pretty comfortable," Garcia said. "When I knocked him down, that gave me confidence that I could put him out early."
Lopez appeared wobbly early in the fourth after Garcia landed a combination of punches. Garcia finished him off with a powerful left hook. Lopez slowly got up and referee Rafael Ramos quickly called the match.
"We executed perfectly" said Garcia's older brother and co-trainer, Robert Garcia.
On the undercard, Terence Crawford (21-0) won the vacant NABO lightweight title, stopping Alejandro Sanabria (34-2-1) in the sixth round. Crawford dropped Sanabria with a left hook 17 seconds into the round.
Sanabria got up, but the referee called the fight to give Crawford his 16th knockout victory.

This is an invention of the government to help you to eat healthy- the original contains animal products, but PCRM (the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) has made it into a vegan plate. Notice that it's irregardless of portion control- while portion sizes are very important when you're calorie counting, for the most part, on a low-fat vegan diet, you eat until you're full. The catch is that you must eat equal portions of everything. Second helping of pasta? Absolutely- as long as you include the other components. This is why a low-fat vegan diet is so successful- there's no measuring, counting, or "no's".
Don't get me wrong- you can definitely do veganism wrong. As I mentioned in another post, vegan junk food exists, and it's usually comprised of refined flours, sugar, artificial ingredients, or fat. Avoid those types of food.
I feed my family of 2.5 (yes, 2.5) on approximately $500 a month. We eat predominantly organic, local, and seasonal. The ways we accomplish this are simple. Animal and prepackaged products are expensive, and we don't consume them. Recently, I've started meal and snack planning, and shopping, for 3 days at a time. That way, food isn't spoiling in the refrigerator, I can adapt my meal planning to my daily plans, and I only have to figure out 9 meals and 6 snacks (approximately). That is a very easy way to chew the overwhelming chore of cooking and planning.
I've compiled a list here of my favorite recipes and snack ideas. Some of the recipes are right here on the site, and others are gifts from other blogs. Some are self-inventing. In order to make these ideas work, I budget in things like maple syrup, flour, and spices as I go along.
Snack ideas:
Homemade Popsicle (you can use a non-dairy yogurt- Amande comes in a large container- and add fruit, or you can use lemon juice in water with agave, and even juice)
Frozen fruit- blueberries, sliced banana or strawberry, and grapes are perfect
Air popped popcorn- organic popcorn is $2 for large bag and air popping cuts back on oils. Add nutritional yeast to make it cheesy
Rice cakes, or rice crackers (with almond butter, hummus, or jam)
Vegan pretzels
Homemade snack mix (vegan cereal, nuts, dried fruit, and maybe even some EnjoyLife chocolate chips or vegan marshmallows)
Dried fruit (a food dehydrator will make some soft, marshmallowy dried apples)- my son prefers cranberries to fruit snacks, but you can make your own fruit leather too
Yogurt with fruit
Fruit salad (I've been serving this with a few vegan graham crackers, Kinnikinnick has some, but you can make them too)
Homemade sweets like cookies, vegan jello or vegan pudding
A cold plate (this is my guilty afternoon delight)- pickles, olives, crackers with hummus, and vege sticks
Breakfast ideas:
Whole oats steeped in hot water with sliced fruit and a touch of agave and cinnamon
Bagel with vegan cream cheese or hummus and a smoothie
Vegan English muffin with low-sugar jam and peanut butter
Granola with plant milk
Almond yogurt smoothie or green smoothie
(take care eating quick breads such as pumpkin or banana bread, as many recipes have lots of sugar or sweeteners)
Toasted corn bread with fruit salad
Leftovers or soup (I know this is a weird one, but some mornings I want hot soup, especially Imagine brand vegan tomato. This also applies to breakfast pizza!)
Brown rice with blueberry syrup
Loaded vegan pancakes or waffles (surprisingly easy to make from a mix or on your own, and we make a bunch, freeze them, and toast them up like Ego's)
Lunch and dinner ideas:
Homemade pizza
Shepherds pie (made with Amy's vegan burgers and Happy Herbivore's mashed potato recipe)
No-chicken tofu, rice pasta, and veges
Loaded baked potato with Daiya
The recipes from this book (many are gf), shes a MsDougall-er: Everyday Happy Herbivore
Baked mac with broccoli
Sandwiches- Happy Herbivore has fake tuna, fake egg salad, or avocado spread on toast with sliced tomato and balsamic vinegarette
Kabobs- string mushrooms, pineapple, cherry tomatoes and green pepper onto sticks and marinate them overnight in pineapple or orange juice mixed with a little tamari, serve with bbq fair like vegan mac salad, corn on the cob, or bbq tempeh sandwiches
Bean burritos
Baked falafel with hummus, and vege sticks
Moro de abichuelas (stewed red-beans over rice)
The bottom line?
- Shop locally and visit farmers markets, where produce will be much cheaper
- Buy frozen veges instead of canned, because they're healthier, more versatile, and last longer
- Buy dried beans instead of canned because they're MUCH cheaper, and just require a soak overnight
- Shop and meal plan every 3 days
- Plan ahead and bring snacks when you venture out
- Avoid prepackaged and pre-prepared foods
- Keep small amounts of "junk" on hand to prevent any slip-ups, including little Bug Bites (vegan chocolate) or salty foods like Snyders gluten free pretzels
- Don't go overboard on the soy, as there is still speculation as to it's effects on the body, good and bad
- Take a b12 supplement
- Download or buy a few cookbooks, including Dr.McDougall's, Happy Herbivore's, Flying Apron and BabyCakes
- Set the time aside to prepare food- if dinner is at five, start cooking at 4. It doesn't hurt to keep a couple of easy things on hand like frozen vegan meals or canned soup, just in case there's an extenuating circumstance, but it should not be a crutch, as it's costly and not healthy.
- If you're packing your child's lunch, invest in a good lunch-sized thermos
- Drink water or herbal tea and avoid juices and sugary drinks. I like coffee, but I use soy creamer and vegan sugar in it (it's my vice).
- Eat as many raw things as you can. In order to influence myself to do this, I slice up some vege sticks and fruit every couple days and keep it in a covered dish in the refrigerator. You can get all sorts of fat free dressings or make your own as "dip" or you can get OrganicVille's vegan ranch!
- If a recipe doesn't seem to have a large serving of veges in it, add a small side salad. Remember that the more fiber you eat, the fuller you'll feel the longer.
- If all else fails, pb&j!
Best of luck!

Fighting Diabetes' Deadly Impact on Minorities

Three problems of social organisation: institutional law and economics meets Habermasian law and democracy
This paper attempts to identify certain implications of Habermasian ethics for the economic analysis of law. It does so by demonstrating a complementarity between the Habermas of Between Facts and Norms and the Veblen--Ayres--Commons tradition(s) of economic analysis. Three unresolved problems of social organisation raised by the institutionalists are addressed: the legitimacy of the status quo ante (Buchanan-Schmid), the legitimacy of society's transaction structure (Klevorick) and the problem of social order (Hobbes-Platteau). Discourse ethics demonstrates how these problems may be resolved. The model of human agency adopted in institutional law and economics permits an easier fit with discourse ethics than would be possible with the neoclassical traditions.

School Worker Fired For Using District PC To Chase Down Aliens
credit: East Valley Tribune |
That said, the deal is that school-owned computers were used for who knows how long to "analyze radio telescope data in an experiment to find extraterrestrial intelligence," and obviously that's not so kosher with whoever is in charge here. Thinking rationally about this, we can understand that SETI@home (which is a completely legitimate program, by the way) would force school-owned PCs to run longer (instead of falling to sleep after classes end) and would definitely tax PC hardware more. It's hard to put a finger on how much extra energy this scheme would consume and how much faster it would accelerate HDD deterioration, but still, we can't help but think the $1 million figure was just thrown out there for shock value.
SETI @ Home PC Client
And shock it has. Birdwell stated that the $1 million included figures to remove the SETI software, and that while the fellow blamed won't be returning for work, police are still conducting a broader investigation as we speak. Something tells us this guy really did more than just help some scientists locate aliens, but those sins are probably too embarrassing to be made public.

December Events Paris: Ice Skating, Christmas Trees, Notre Dame, Omnivore and more . . .
December 1, 2012
Whether you're going to Paris for the holidays or just for some wintertime fun, there's plenty happening this month to keep you entertained! – Genevieve
Christmas displays in Paris (abrunete)
Holiday Fun
December may be the best month to take in Notre Dame. They have their classic Christmas tree up in the square and a light/music show inside the nave each hour throughout December. Go on December 18th and stay for the Monteverdi Vespers concert. Beginning December 12, a special seating structure in the square will be open to the public, offering visitors a different perspective on the cathedral's beautiful stained glass windows.
Notre Dame (el_malino & Herve "Setaou" BRY)
Lucky enough to be ringing in the New Year in Paris? There are evening concerts at churches around the city, like St. Eustache, La Madeleine and more.
For little ones and adults alike, stop by the many ice skating rinks and carousel rides set up around the city.
Carousel outside Hôtel de Ville in Paris (Tom Ward)
Of course Paris is the city of light year-round, but the Grands Magasins do this name great justice around the holidays. Take a stroll down the Boulevard Haussman to see the stores' exterior decorations, but be sure to stop inside too! Some festivities include a 20-meter Swarovski tree inside the Galleries Lafayettes flagship in celebration of the store's 100th birthday.
Christmas decorations inside Galeries Lafayette (whale05)
At Le Printemps Haussmann, a celebration of haute couture, Paris, and the holidays will fill the street-side windows. Eleven displays specially designed in collaboration with Christian Dior will highlight some favorite Paris locales, while the exterior facade will don larger-than-life light balloons.
Ice skating in Paris by Hotel de Ville (fotologic)
For shopping and holiday treats, head to any one of Paris's many holiday markets. Here's where you can find them.
If you're planning your ever-important Christmas or New Year's meal, keep an eye out for Paris by Mouth's holiday restaurant recommendation lists. To whet your palate, here are last year's.
Omnivore at the 104 Paris (www.omnivore.fr)
December 17: Of course we at Haven in Paris have a soft spot for all things French, but we can't deny that Croatia is an attractive destination. Omnivore is recognizing the country's rise to fame with one of their classic dinners. If you want to join 100% Croatie, be sure to reserve a seat now. And did we mention that tickets are an affordable 30 euros?
The flyers for Hôtel Bohême (www.hotel-boheme.fr)
December 15 – 16: Saving the best (holiday shopping) for last? We support this move since Hôtel Bohême will be open December 15 – 16. This trendy pop-up will have an array of local, ethically-produced gems – clothing, jewelry, decor, and more – for everyone on your list…and even a piece (or two) for yourself.
The Raveonettes (kk+)
December 7: Danish duo The Raveonettes play at Le Trabendo. More recently influenced by The Doors and the West Coast, The Raveonettes might have deviated a little bit from their usual album-specific creative rigor, but the wonderful new vintage sound sticks and will make for a great show.
Roman Ondak's exhibition (m.ariii & latitudes-flickr)
December 8: Join The Luxembourg Philharmonic for a night of classics. On the program are Mendelssohn's Les Hébrides, Schumann's Concerto pour piano, and Strauss' Une vie de Héros. The group will be joined by beloved pianist Nelson Freire and directed by equally adored conductor Emmanuel Krivine.
Melle Bé
December 18: Don't miss the unique opportunity to see The Paris Orchestra directed by Pierre Boulez, a great contributor to modern French composition, beneath the Pyramide du Louvre. The group will be playing a program of Maurice Ravel, the famous French composer of the late 19th and early 20th century. Be sure to get to the museum early; this is a free show and is sure to fill quickly!
Roman Ondak's "Measuring the Universe" exposition (Jörg Dornblut)
Through December 17: Le Musee d'Art Moderne is hosting an exposition of the work of Slovakian artist Roman Ondak. This exposition is more than just a retrospective; he artist invites viewers to become participants in the creation of his latest piece, "Measuring the Universe." Stop by to find out more!
Mircea Cantor's exhibition – Centre Pompidou (www.mirceacantor.ro)
Through January 7: Mircea Cantor, winner of the Prix Marcel Duchamp in 2011. It's appropriate that Mircea Cantor won the Prix Marcel Duchamp. In experiencing his work, there are certainly striking similarities. Cantor is an eternal nomad – his bio says he "lives and works on Earth," after all – who takes and transforms common objects and actions to speak to the modern human condition: the juxtaposition of the natural and the man-made, the importance of uncertainty. His currently exhibition at the Centre Pompidou is not to miss.
Carousel in Paris & Flyer for Festival Nemo (Zoriah & www.arcadi.fr)
Through December 16: The 15th edition of the Festival Nemo is on. This celebration of experimental digital arts includes a variety multimedia performances and installations in locations around the city. Though the program is full of fabulous to-dos, we definitely recommend this Robin Fox laser show.

At any time of year, Paris is a very special place, but at Christmas, Paris is magical. I love your photos. Merci et Joyeux Noël xxx
[…] Dahl from Hip Paris also recommends a trip to Notre Dame: "They have their classic Christmas tree up in the square […]
I thoroughly second your recommendation of the Hotel Boheme. I've sold at a couple of their sales and made friends amongst the other vendors. When I'm not participating, I love visiting and picking up gifts for people – all artisans selling their made in France goodies.
What a great month to be in Paris. It's always a great time to be in Paris!
Hi i also was in Paris If you wanna to transport back to that time see my photos
Ah the shopping at Hôtel Bohème sounds wonderful! Thanks for the tip

didnt mean to ambush your thread I just assumed a "greatest" "greater than' question would recquire a comparison
Im not sure that iraq and Afganistan would consider themselves liberated
also I dont think you would find to many serious historians who would agree that the US liberated western europe x 2. the Russians lost 23 million people fighting the germans in WW2 and did the vaste bulk of the fighting. In WW1 the US didnt get involved militarily until 1917

likewise in Iraq and Afganistan the British and Australian involvement although minor compared to the US is still significent. So far we have comprehensively failed to defeat the Taliban so liberation from tyranny is still some ways in the future(hopefully)

Sorry Stoney but those countries you listed were getting their arses handed to them on a platter until the U.S. involvement. Maybe across the pond you measure success by how many lives you lose in a war but we like to go by the winner.
You obviously have missed the uncovering of 100s of thousands of mass graves in Iraq and the latest FREE elections in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The Brits and Aussies have been in those conflicts in a small scale, but being there in a small scale doesn't really get you the award for the most effort.
the war was far from lost before US involvement. the battle of britan had been won and montgomery had driven Rommel back to Tunsia. The 6th army was beeing wiped out at Stalingrad thus reducing the germans of 25% of there overall army. The US never participated in a major european battle before 1943 and that was at the Kasserine Pass and we all now who won that battle. To maintain that WW2 was won primarily by the USA is just plain wrong at least in europe. We measure success by who does the fighting and very clearly the Soviets and there allies did the lions share. Many US veterans would be appalled to hear you disparage Americas many allies in the fight against Nazism
I can't imagine anything more ridiculous than trying to prove in some objective way that one country is superior to another. It's in the eyes of the beholder. However, I think you will find that America is more of a savior in its own eyes (or yours) than it is in the eyes of those you claim we have saved. While many Americans seem to blame this on the ingratitude of those we have saved, we seem incapable of putting ourselves in their shoes to understand.
When I was a kid, I lived in Sicily for several years. Sicily never supported Mussolini and supported the Germans even less. They were generally ready to welcome the Allied invasion. After the war, America and the Allies were truly viewed as savior by much of Sicily's population. We would drive through areas in southern and eastern Sicily and people would wave to us happily.
The story was completely different in Northern and western Sicily. Those were the areas that we bombed repeatedly when the offensive bogged down. Thousands of civilians were killed and their homes were destroyed. No such damage had been done by either the Germans or Mussolini and our bombings left us very unpopular.
We actually weren't very concerned either way. Both our "salvation" of southern Sicily and our destruction of northern Sicily were incidental. We simply wanted to get through Sicily so that we could attack the mainland.
Our invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with liberating Iraqis; it had to do with our need to establish our own military dominance. Our invasion of Afghanistan was all about our desire to obliterate the Taliban and we allied ourselves with warlords that are not very nice to gain tactical advantage. We did something similar in Afghanistan when we aliied ourselves with a man named Osama Bin Laden to help combat the Russians. What has happened to the people of both Iraq and Afghanistan along the way was incidental to our own objectives. Our complete failure to think about what would happen is the reason we are still fighting so many years later. A similar self interest has been at the heart or our prior invasions of other countries in the post WWII period as well as most of our foreign wars prior to WWII.
In the eyes of most of the world, the US is, on one had, an ideal for freedom and the rule of law that is envied. On the other hand, however, it is seen as only supporting those ideals for Americans. It shows little regard for the rights of other countries and is seen as a more dangerous threat than any other force because of its ability to interfere at will with little risk to itself. The reality is that none of us would welcome invasion from another country to save us from ourselves. Much of what we have done historically in our foreign policy "saves" people in the same way that south american indians were "saved" by the missionaries -- their souls may have made it, but their bodies did not.
By the way, for me, America remains my greatest country. But that doesn't mean we are necessarily a very good neighbor.

Viscardi was one of three to receive the maximum amount, the Union-Tribune reported.Viscardi, who was home-schooled, has received numerous awards for solving the Dirichlet Problem, originally formulated in the 19th century to study the thermal equilibrium of a heated metal plate.Late last year, Viscardi won the top $100,000 prize from the prestigious Siemens Westinghouse Math, Science and Technology competition. In March, he took top honors at the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair, and he placed high in May at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Indianapolis.The Davidson Institute was established in 1999 by Bob and Jan Davidson, former educational software entrepreneurs, to recognize and support exceptionally intelligent young people.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
There was lots of news that came out of Microsoft's recent Professional Developer Conference (PDC) event however one item that may have slipped under the radar of many is that the data format specification for WCF Data Services (previously known as ADO.Net Data Services aka Astoria) has been proposed as an open standard for data exchange across the web. Its name? The Open Data Protocol, or OData for short. From the OData website:
The Open Data Protocol (OData) is a web protocol for querying and updating data. OData applies web technologies such as HTTP, Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) and JSON to provide access to information from a variety of applications, services, and stores.
You can read more at Open Data Protocol on MSDN.
[It should be noted that WCF Data Services and OData are not the same thing. My interpretation is that WCF Data Services is a technology that allows data to be surfaced as an OData-compliant service.]
Microsoft's desire to get OData accepted as a universal data access protocol should not come as a surprise, I view OData as the next evolution in a journey that can count ODBC and OLE DB as significant milestones:
I've been following the evolution of Astoria/ADO.Net Data Services/WCF Data Services for quite some time now, even back as far as when an influential team within Microsoft were probably going to reject AtomPub (according to Dare Obasanjo) and instead use their own proprietary alternative (according to Yaron Goland). Back in March 2008 I noted with interest an announcement by George Moore on the Live Services development blog that ADO.Net Data Services (as it was then known) would form an integral part of Microsoft's stack of data access protocols and technologies across all data storage technologies:
The complete storage and developer tools stack revealed at MIX08 looks like this (described top to bottom). You are free to utilize this stack at any level of abstraction – there are no requirements to use all layers, and you are free to substitute your own developer tools against any layer Area Product, Library or Protocol 4: Synchronization infrastructure: "Astoria Offline" Microsoft Sync Framework Feedsync AtomPub extensions 3: Developer tools: ADO.NET Data Services .NET WCF Syndication libraries AtomPub URI namespace conventions 2: Protocols: AtomPub Atom 1: Underlying Products and Services: On premises: SQL Server Structured Cloud Storage: SQL Server Data Services Live services: Spaces Photos and Application Data Storage A Unified Standards-Based Protocols and Tooling Platform for Storage from Microsoft
The complete storage and developer tools stack revealed at MIX08 looks like this (described top to bottom). You are free to utilize this stack at any level of abstraction – there are no requirements to use all layers, and you are free to substitute your own developer tools against any layer
21 months later and we are really starting to see the fruits of those labours come to bear. Sharepoint 2010 Lists, SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2, Excel 2010 (through Powerpivot), Project "Dallas" & Windows Azure are all either an OData producer or consumer and we are promised that there are more to come. Microsoft have received deserved criticism down the years for different teams building competing technologies yet here we witness a quiet unification around a common data access stack and that can only be a good thing. Do I sense the impact of Ray Ozzie here?
This has been a short commentary on the evolution of the OData protocol, any comments would be much appreciated.

The next incarnation of Live Framework will also be using OData. They didn't explicitly mention it in the gimpy little session at the end of PDC, but if you look closely, you will see that they are now using OData.
The OData website at http://www.odata.org/home has been updated today to provide a much more engaging
Chris Sells announced on twitter earlier today that the schedule for the upcoming Professional Developers'
why no demo to display the technology?
Tthe oData is really good.

Steven Rigby: A Signature Career
Steve Rigby
Standing in front of the newly remodeled Cougar Copies store are (from the left) Mary Read, director of University Publishing, holding the in-plant's 2009 IPMA Management Award; Edward Sala, Web Services manager; Steven Rigby, director of Printing; and Sharon Kimble, Cougar Copies manager, showing off the in-plant's FSC certificate.
Operator Dave Nowak (right) shows off a project being printed on the new six-color HP Indigo 3500. With him is Steve Rigby, director of printing.
At age 14, Steven Rigby became an Eagle Scout, the highest achievement in the Boy Scouts of America program. As he completed the final leap to the top of the Scouting ranks, he also took his first step toward a top-notch career in printing.
"I received my Eagle Scout certificate, which was signed by [then] President Richard Nixon in blue ink," recalls Rigby, now director of Printing Services at Washington State University. "I wondered how that [signature] happened, since I was quite sure he didn't sign it himself."
Rigby's curiosity about ink-on-paper reproduction inspired him to sign up for the graphics program at Provo High School in Provo, Utah. "It just sucked me in," he declares. He credits his teacher as a major influence and mentor.
Rigby proved to be a more-than-apt pupil. So much so that, when the graphics teacher went out on sabbatical during Rigby's senior year in the mid-1970s, guess who served as the unofficial replacement?
"Well, the English teacher came in to take roll, but I really taught the classes," Rigby reveals. "I just thought it was a fascinating thing how ink got from here to there."
Rigby went on to attend Brigham Young University (BYU), where he studied business and advertising. He also met his wife Debbie there. They now have five children and nine grandchildren.
During his first year at BYU, Rigby also worked at the university in-plant. "My first job was melting lead for the linotype machine," he recounts. In the latter half of his college years, he worked for a couple of commercial shops in Provo.
After graduation, starting around 1980, Rigby worked at a few large commercial printers, including Paragon Press, in Salt Lake City. He served as pressman, paper buyer and sales rep, as well as in bindery and prepress departments, and eventually worked his way up to management.

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
- Romans 1:16-17

In addition, Canada's military allows military service for LGB and T people. But as one young transgender girl's story shows, that doesn't mean LGBTs aren't still facing hardships in the country.

In late summer of 1942, Time magazine reported on the progress of the Alaska Highway.
"This is the Law of the Yukon, that only the Strong shall thrive; That surely the Weak shall perish, and only the fit survive."
-- Robert W. Service
...This was a job for Paul Bunyan; to wrest an all weather road from the jealous Northland between early spring and autumn; to span the fierce, death-cold rushing rivers, the black custard quagmires; to cut switchbacks across the Great Divide, to make the way between the Arctic and the U.S. for a highway which some day may be as common as the Boston Post Road.
...The "cats" clawed at the soft soil, bogged down, sank almost to the driver's seats in the black muck. The engineers sweated and swore, dug out the cats, clawed on. Every day it rained. Every day they sweated and swore.
Gradually, steadily, doggedly, the snorting cats drove the forest back. Woodsmen logged the spruce, pine and aspen for corduroy roads over the bogs. "Mister, I thought we'd never get through those first 15 miles. We'd get so damn tired we could hardly drag home, but every afternoon when we got to the store at Charlie's Lake, the lady there'd have a cake for us. Boy, those cakes were good."
...The days got longer, the weather warmer. Now came the black flies, the tiny "no-see-ums" that announce themselves only by a sting, and the mosquitoes. ("Why, over at Watson Lake, a mosquito landed on the airport and they put 85 gallons of gas in it before they realized it wasn't a bomber.") The insects made sweating, swollen hands look like grey fur. The engineers slapped and cursed till they got head nets and gloves.
Captain Hampton Green's bog-busters chewed switchbacks down a steep hillside of ice-hard dirt in a day and a half, ferried a river, scratched up the other side. Right on their heels, Lieut. Colonel Heath Twichell set his Negro engineers to bridging the tumbling water, singing as they sawed. Wading waist deep in the fast icy stream, they put the bridge across in 36 hours, sang hymns at a Sunday service down by the riverside after the job was done.
...Out in the bush the only recreation is hunting and fishing -- on special rights given they by the Yukon territorial government. Doughboys hunt to vary meals of corned beef, potatoes, lemonade, carrots, preserves, and dried eggs, by adding moose and bear steaks, lake trout, spruce partridge, ptarmigan, grouse, venison. At Swan Lake, for lack of regular tackle, a Signal Corps man made a line from telephone wires, hammered a fishing spoon out of a tin can and brought in strings of fat trout over the side of an assault boat. Others knock the heads off the foolish spruce partridge (Yukon chicken) which doze on the lower tree limbs in the summer twilight.
Solders near enough to hit the few towns find expensive beer, and little else. In Fort St. John they mill around on the dusty or muddy main street with lumberjacks, trappers and "dirt stiffs" (construction workers), looking over the waitresses and dumpy Indian girls. Sometimes they get a haircut in Joe's tent barbershop, or go to the hospital, which has the only bath and running-water toilets in town. Average Saturday night consumption of 50-cent-a-bottle beer is 3,500 bottles. At the Inn in Whitehorse the jam-packed solders sometimes push the 11 o'clock curfew up to 2 a.m., ending with a mouth-organ duet and fine boozy soldier harmony. Checks are cashed at the only bank for 460 miles around -- the same one in which Poetaster Robert Service clerked in the gold-rush days.
The Boss
...When [Brigadier General William Morris] Hoge's party rode and mushed up to Fort Nelson in the winter snow the citizens wondered why he had come. After all, there was nothing to see but a trading post. But Hoge had other ideas. Alaska was a transportation island linked with the U.S. by a moving bridge of ships -- ships now needed desperately elsewhere. Hoge knew that Fort Nelson could be one of a string of airports connecting Edmonton to the Aleutians. He knew that with such a string and with a road to supply them, Alaska could be held; knew also that with Jap islands blockading Vladivostok such a route might well be the only way to send adequate help to an attacked Siberia. The Army road would do for that and later the Public Roads Administration would grade and realign the rough highway. Then, after the war, the people would come. The small dirty towns would have a new reason for existence, and out of fabulous Alaska could come minerals by the truckload for the factories of the future.
Excerpt from "Northwest Passage," Time, August 31, 1942, pp. 77-80.

This is a relaxed apartment only 10 minutes away from Amsterdam Central Station. It is cozy and colorful and it is composed by 3 tiny bedrooms, one living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. You will stay in one of the bedrooms and share the living room, bathroom and kitchen with others. The bedroom is VERY SMALL, not 5-star quality, but comfy and friendly.
There is normally a free bike to explore the city and we also provide a free tour of night life in the weekend if we are around.
The apartment is located in a beautiful 19th century house within short walking distance to cafes, restaurants, coffee-shops, supermarkets, and tram and bus stops.
We normally rent our apartment, when we (a family with three children) are on holiday. The house is family-friendly, but any type of tourists (as long as you don't smoke inside) is welcome!
You can take a train from the airport to Amsterdam Central Station.
You can get to our house from Central Station either by bus 48 that goes in the direction of Sloterdijk (two stops, get off at Barentszplein) or by walking - about 15 minutes from behind Central Station (just walk parallel to the water from the back exit of the station and then turn left in Barentszsplein - see Google maps).
A more expensive but also a more comfortable alternative is taking a taxi from the airport.
We are looking forward to welcoming you!

Reviews of this property
I received a very friendly welcome by Helen and Engelbert and even got a quick overview of the area around the apartment when I arrived. The apartment is most definitely not like your typical faceless hotel room! :) The room itself is about twice the size of the bed, which is perfectly ok if you're only going to sleep in it. (There's a large table and an armchair in the living room.)
The neighbourhood is nice and quiet, but really close to Amsterdam's old centre. Going back and forth to different locations on the bike was a lot of fun. Try to find the yellow submarine!
Helen and her family were very welcoming and made me feel very at home. Single room so small as you'd expect but perfectly adequate and large wardrobe to put stuff. Use of bike if you wanted it plus local buses and trams - if like me you prefer to walk 20 mins to Centraal Station and 25 to the Dam. Overall very positive experience - if in Amsterdam on my own again would be very happy to go back there.
helen was not there but she asked the neighbour to give me the key and introduce me to everything. it was so uncomplicated and heartful that i could say during my visit in amsterdam," i came home " in the evening although i'm in a foreign city. thank you for hosteling me!!
It was a short but very pleasent stay with Helen and Engelbert. Espacially the bicycle that comes with the room is a lifesaver in Amsterdam! I would recommend this stay to everybody who has no problem with a small room (but a comfy bed, even for my 1.87m), evreything else was perfect!
I had a really good time in Amsterdam, Helen and her family make it happen, very helpfull and nice people, definatly if I had to go back too Amsterdam I would stay in hers, they let you a bicicle which helps to move around and explore the wonderfull city. Thanks Helen!
Was given good directions getting there from train station. Was not thrilled about the size of the room, the wardrobe for clothes was VERY musty smelling and although my visit was brief, did not want to leave clothes in it. Very tiny room, however, like most places in Europe. Having said that, the bathroom door did not close properly, never mind lock - not impressed. Helen and Engelbert seemed like pleasant enough hosts but I did not spend much time in the living room space.
Felt very much at home at helen and engelbert's flat. The room is small but comfortable enough. Bathroom and shower were clean and there was a big living room area with lots of books. The apartment is very central (make sure you take the back exit from the central station, it's the one going out to the ferries) and was really easy to reach all of a msterdam's attractions with the bike provided or the tram stop that's really close. The area is really nice and pretty and there are shops and restaurants around. Really enjoyed talking with engelbert, helen and their youngest daughter Eden. Would be happy to come and stay there again.
Helen is a great host of the house. Helen and her family will never forget their kindness.
As soon as she arrived at the house kindly explain about the house, plus she borrow me a bike so I could to go central of city. The bed was comfortable enough, that's good point to use the equipments in the house. Her family and his friends are lucky to know. If you are planning to travel to Amsterdam strongly recommend her house.

Now one of the most-visited natural wonders of the world, Niagara Falls once hardly had any visitors to admire its spectacular beauty, until 1885, when the state bought the area from the Porter family and turned it into a park - the oldest state park in the country, as a matter of fact. Patricia L. Lawrence tours the falls with a local historian, discussing the origins of the falls during the Ice Age, and shares interesting facts such as how the American Falls at Niagara dried up for a few months during the 1960s. Both previous and future visitors to Niagara Falls will find this travelogue illuminating and enjoyable.
Audio Journeys explores the US's first tourist attraction, Niagara Falls, New York. Niagara Falls is one of the most visited natural wonders in the world.

axle and locker help
So I have a 99 TJ sport which i want to make into a great off road vehicle. currently i dont have lockers but i am looking into the options of what to do. I have stock dana 30 and 35 axles. last weekend i met a guy who is selling his dana 44 axles, lockers, and everything that goes with them off his TJ Rubicon for $3000. Should i invest in his axles, different axles, or just putting lockers on my current dana axles? or is there an even better option? Thanks! |

first off D35 is a turd and a ticking time bomb. secondly, just adding an automatic/drop-in locker locker (Aussie, Lock Right, etc) to the front D30 will make a huge difference without much cost

I loved having the rubi axles. The bolt right in and work great. If you can budget it I would go that route! You will need a pump for the lockers, but the trade off to just have everything set up so all you have to do is push a button is awesome. I had 35x12.5 under rubi axles and wheeled it hard without any issues. I put upgraded steering and a upgraded track bar and was set.

ok thanks.
i have 33" tires and 4" lift. I am thinking of eventually moving up to 35" but probably not much more than that. so it sounds like i should buy the rubicon axles and get air compressors so i can easily activate and deactivate them. ive done a fair amount of wheeling and know how vital lockers can be and that is why i am looking for a pair. and since the rubi dana 44 axles are stronger and come with lockers that seems the best option. how easy are the rubi dana 44 axles to install in place of dana 30 and 35s? thanks again |
June 4th, 2013, 08:59 PM | #6 |
The d44 axles should be a very easy bolt in. I believe you may have to cut or modify your driveshafts. The tj d44 is stronger then a 30 and 35 but not near as strong as a old d44.
As long as you stay around a 35" tire they will be great. If you plan on going to a 37" tire I would look at other options. |

welfare wheeler
a lock right in the front dana 30. then a used super 35 kit, or a used tj 44 with a detroit in back.
i own a rubicon, and the axles are fine for 35's, if u decide to go that route. for 3k they better be low miles, on a bone stock jeep. rubicon axles do bend sometimes. |

We stayed there when we did our Contiki two years ago (London and Paris + Rome). We enjoyed the hotel and didn't have any problems at all. The location close enough to the metro and our room had a nice view of the park. There is a fabulous little pub called "The Swan" on one of the side roads by it that makes an amazing Steak and Ale pie.

My Practice's Next Hire: Nurse Practitioner or Physician?
My Practice's Next Hire: Nurse Practitioner or Physician?
I am beside myself. Just about a year ago, I hired a nurse practitioner (NP) to work in our office on a part-time basis. It was great for me financially. I didn't have to worry about paying her benefits and, as she was being paid hourly, I didn't have to worry about filling her schedule too quickly. I was hoping that over time, as she got busier, that she would transition to full time. Well, she will — just not here. She was offered a better opportunity elsewhere, and while she will still be working here one day a week (instead of two), I am going to have to look for someone to work full time.
The dilemma is: Hire another NP or another physician?
Here was my vision for the NP's role. She or he would see some of our follow-up patients. She would help with lab results, phone calls, and patient education. The patients would still "belong" to their respective doctors. I hope the NPs reading do not take this the wrong way, because I really do value their role in our patient's care, but when a patient is referred to a specialist, I think it is important that the physician still be the principal healthcare provider. I have had patients who were concerned that I was "giving them up" or even leaving altogether when I told them that their next appointment was with the nurse practitioner. It reassured them when I told them that we would alternate visits between the NP and me. Having the NP see follow-up patients leaves me some room to see some new patients.
Having said that, we get calls for new patient appointments every day, and patients are upset that there is a wait. And again, when patients are referred to us by their primary-care physician, I feel obliged to have a physician see the patient and not an NP. It's hard enough to get them to see my associate who has been here for over two years! And it's not that they don't like her (they haven't even met her yet), they want the senior person, i.e., me.
This brings me to option number two: a new associate. A new associate could see a lot of new patients, but only if patients are willing to see him or her. And some patients want to get their foot in the door by seeing "the other doctor" and then want to follow up with me, but I barely have time to see my follow-up patients, how can I squeeze in somebody else's? And I'm not sure how I feel about having the new doc see my follow-ups for me. We have had an office policy of not sharing or swapping patients, primarily to avoid the situation I just described, and I am having a hard time justifying to myself doing the reciprocal.
So I need help, but have yet to decide what direction to go in. And I haven't taken into account yet the financial side of the issue.

Longport is a borough in Atlantic County, New Jersey on the Atlantic Ocean shore of Absecon Island. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 895,[1][2][3] reflecting a decline of 159 (-15.1%) from the 1,054 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn declined by 170 (-13.9%) from the 1,224 counted in the 1990 Census. Longport was incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 7, 1898, from portions of Egg Harbor Township. [edit] Research Tips

It is not news that there are a lot of companies, and maybe a few governments, tracking your every move on the Internet. But most people have not yet internalized just how pervasive and detailed the tracking is.
A series of front-page articles in the Wall Street Journal will help raise the level of awareness among the general public and, more importantly, among policy makers in Congress and the federal regulatory agencies.
Most people do understand that the Web sites you visit on the Internet can, and most do, use cookies to keep track of who visits and what they do there. What is not so well known is that many sites have arrangements with third-party companies that let them also put cookies on your computer.
This is an issue because the third-party companies have agreements with lots of Web sites, and there are lots of these third-party companies, so they can track you between Web sites. For example, if you visit the Web site of one automaker then go the another automaker's Web site, a third-party company can see what you did on both sites and use that information to understand more about you. The third-party companies then sell information about your activities to advertising companies so that you will see ads better designed to get you to buy something.
This may not seem like a big deal, but note that some of these third-party companies have arrangements with thousands of Web sites and, thus, can find out a lot of about you -- a lot more than just likes and dislikes -- sex, age, income, political views and so on.
The Journal is not the first to talk about the issue. For example, I saw quite a good presentation by AT&T researcher Balachander Krishnamurthy during the IETF meeting in Anaheim.
You can protect yourself from some tracking by setting up your browser to not accept third-party cookies and to erase cookies when you exit from the browser -- both are easy to do in Firefox and Safari (I'm not an IE user so do not know how easy it is to do there, but the Journal reported on Aug. 2 that the Microsoft powers-that-be killed a plan by Microsoft engineers to block the tracking by default). Microsoft was more than a bit conflicted since it just bought a company that sells ads and can benefit from such tracking.
Even if you set your browser to delete cookies you may not be safe since a number of companies are overriding your preferences using Adobe Flash cookies. This underhanded behavior is now the subject of a lawsuit
Very few of us pay money to the Web sites we visit on the Internet. To us, most Web sites seem free. There are a few that people pay for (for example I pay for a subscription to the on-line Wall Street Journal), but to date most experiments wherein a Web site puts up a "paywall" that demands money before you can enter have failed. Operators need to have some reason for maintaining their Web sites. The reason can be pride (e.g. http://www.scottbradner.com), or sales (http://www.sears.com/), customer service (http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/support/index.html) or part of a wider mission (http://lib.harvard.edu/). But in many cases, just like with "free" TV, there is real money involved -- money from advertisers.
Google is not being altruistic in not charging you to use its search engines.
But there is a trade-off. There is a point where these folks know just too much about us and we know nothing about them. I understand that someone has to pay for my "free" use of the Internet but I'd rather the price not be such an intrusive look into my soul.
Disclaimer: Some parts of Harvard have used Google Analytics, one of these third-party companies, but I know of no University opinion on selling souls in exchange for a little content, so the above lament is my own.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Anabantids
- - My Gouramis died and I can't determine the cause.
My Gouramis died and I can't determine the cause. I am a new 10 gal. aquarium owner. I performed tests on my water for a few days before stocking it with fish and found all levels to be normal, aside from hard water and a bit of alkalinity. I purchased 6 fish, one of which was a gouramis. Within 6 hours it had died, not only that, but it's body was lodged in the bottom corner of the tank next to the heater (which seemed strange to me and made it wonder if it had gotten stuck somehow which could have attributed to it's death). It's been a few days and my other fish seem fine. I would like to purchase another gouramis, but would first like to determine the cause of death for my first fish. Is it possible it was just a "dud?" or sick in some way? It didn't really eat anything before it died and strayed away from the other fish (a guppy, 3 tetras, and an algae eater). Any help is much appreciated. |
Did you acclimate your fish and do you know your ph and what it should be? How long have you had your fish, could it be that your still in cycling after all? It sounds like the fish are not doing well,which could be a sign of fluctuating water parameters. |
If by acclimate you mean float their bags in water for 15 minutes to allow them to adjust to the temperature, then yes I did. Apparently Gouramis prefer a lower pH than my tank, which is like an 8. I suppose that is much too high! It didn't appear this high until I just tested in now. Would that cause the fish to die that fast? Why have the others survived? |
Yes for the gourami. A safe way to lower ph is by .2 each 24 hours.Your other fish have a better tolerance to a higher ph is all. Since i don't know how you ;ower your ph now i can only tell you that a darker driftwood will gradually lower your ph.Is your tank planted? Oh the safest way to acclimate a fish is to place in a container add your tank water by one fourth the aolume of the petstore water and keep doing this till the waters 1/2 &1/2. Take your time about one hour. This is sense you have a high ph.Temp has to be drasticly changed to kill a common fish. |
Thanks for the tips |
Agreed - temperature is only one of the factors you have to let equalize during acclimation. If there was a significant difference in pH between the water at the store and the water in your tank, the fish could have died from pH shock. A better way is to acclimate using the method catfishtabbi described. Or, you could open the bag, roll down the top so that the bag floats, and float it in the tank. Every five or ten minutes, add about a shot glass full of tank water to the bag until the volume at least doubles. Either method will help prevent pH shock. It is also quite likely that the fish was already sick or stressed to begin with and that the acclimation process was enough to do him in. How long has the tank been set up, and do you know about cycling an aquarium? If the tank wasn't cycled before adding fish, you will have to do water changes just about daily in order to keep ammonia and nitrite in check until the tank can cycle. One more question: do you know what type of fish this "algae eater" is? The two most common fish sold as such are the common plecostomus, which reaches lengths of 18" and needs an absolutely huge tank, and the Chinese algae eater, which reaches up to 6" but can become very aggressive as it ages (plus, it will stop eating algae as it gets older). |

NRCS amended 7 CFR §610.24 applies. For more information, See Final Rule for Changes to Existing Programs on the Federal Register website.
State Technical Committees serve in an advisory capacity to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and other agencies of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on the implementation of the natural resources conservation provisions of Farm Bill legislation. Committees are intended to include members from a wide variety of natural resource and agricultural interests. Chaired by the NRCS State Conservationist in each State, these Committees are composed of representatives from Federal and State natural resource agencies, American Indian Tribes, agricultural and environmental organizations, and agricultural producers.
The Committees meet regularly to provide information, analysis, and recommendations to appropriate USDA officials, who strongly consider their advice. Individuals or groups wanting to participate as members on a State Technical Committee may submit requests to the State Conservationist explaining their interest and relevant credentials.
The NRCS State Technical Committee policy defines the purpose, responsibilities, membership composition, etc of a Committee.
You can use the Regional Boundaries, State Offices and Centers page to visit the NRCS website for your state's Technical Committee page.

A Guide to Tokyo's Best Gadget Stores
Find everything from iPhone cases to spy glasses in Japan's tech emporiums
REST AND RELAXATION in Waikiki. A boys' night out in Vegas. Gadget shopping in Tokyo. Most guys might choose the first two escapes, but I've been going to Tokyo every year for the past decade to seek out the newest gizmos—products that haven't yet made it to the west or are simply too niche to ever be imported. In my travels, I've found tiny wooden speakers hand-carved out of rare Japanese cedar, silicone keyboards that roll up like a burrito and a Gameboy cartridge filled with 500 games that were never released stateside.

Hot babes are interested in Dubai
Okay we all know that many hotties of our tinsel town are the brand ambassadors of on-going Celebrity Cricket League. Yes they work for money and publicity, but sometimes they change cards even everything is given to them. Read the story now!
Ravishing sirens like Shriya Saran, Kajal Agarwal, Priyamani and Richa Gangopadhyay are all the front faces of CCL 2nd season. So imagine a match of CCL without these hot beauties and this happened exactly yesterday. All the above said babes are not present at yesterday's match between Telugu Warriors and Karnataka Bulldozers.
The hot babes cancelled all their shoots and personal works to attend Dubai's event, but they didn't get time to make their presence felt in Hyderabad. Most of the above said heroines rose to the positions of happening actresses only due to Tollywood and Hyderabad, else no one will look at them for God's sake, an insider quoted. The organizers seemed to be very angry with these stars.
When contacted by persons of Gulte.com, Shriya shared that she is busy in promoting her latest Hindi movie 'Gali Gali Chor Hai' at a town of Northern India. Both Priyamani and Richa also stated that they tried hard to attend the event and missed it due to their shooting schedules.
Richa is the brand ambassador of CCL Telugu Warriors team, while others are brand ambassadors of total CCL. A key member of CCL shared that Kajal is in town and there are no shoots for her, but she still showed no interest in coming. They like to come to Dubai with families, but they don't want to do that in Hyderabad, this is purely unprofessional, he added. Sexy Kajal who is running high with her latest success BUSINESSMAN is unavailable for comment.
