Types of Microhydro-Electric Systems
As with wind- and solar-electric systems, hydro-electric systems can be divided into four configurations:
Microhydro-electric systems can power most, if not all, electrical loads, depending on the size of the resource. The smallest systems may only provide for lighting, electronics, and basic refrigeration. But with sufficient head and flow, these systems can run heating and cooling systems, tools, and even commercial equipment in a modern, on-grid home, ranch, or business. The head and flow are the limitation, and it all comes down to how much power (wattage) and energy (kilowatt-hours) you have at your disposal.
While people with solar-electric and small wind-electric systems may be pushed toward serious efficiency and conservation measures because of the cost of these renewable kilowatt-hours, small hydro systems frequently have ample resources behind them, and can be more generous with their output. However, using your energy wisely can mean using less water and smaller equipment, which means lower environmental impact and lower cost.

ACC Baseball Falls Flat on Sunday Especially Against The SEC
A combined 2-5 and 0-3 against the SEC. That was the ACC's performance on Sunday.
Two clubs, Georgia Tech and Clemson had chances to move onto the Super Regionals Sunday, but faltered against the SEC's Alabama and Auburn respectively.
Clemson has to be distraught after holding a 9-8 lead against Auburn going into the 9th, but the Tigers of the SEC rallied with three runs and won 11-9.
Alabama's Adam Morgan threw a complete game gem holding Georgia Tech to just one run. The left hander baffled Yellow Jacket batters all night.
Tech is now 21-8 against lefty starters this year (thanks to AJC for the stat). But do not be surprised one bit if the Tide put out another left hander tomorrow whatever his ERA. Morgan had an ERA of 6.04 coming into tonight.
Thus far, FSU looks like it will be the only team from the ACC to advance to the Super Regionals Sunday (they lead Oregon - live stats here). They will have four chances on Monday (maybe five if North Carolina can pull it out against Oklahoma).
The SEC already has Florida and South Carolina through and will have a chance for four more teams tomorrow.

ACC is usually compared with the SEC for who has the strongest conference. And Sunday the ACC laid a stinkbomb. Especially Clemson.
SEC is 1-0 right now head to head in Regional finals. We shall see...
Thanks for the comment.

Bi Polar, ADHD, ODD
I have a daughter who is 9. She has been diagnosed with Bi Polar, ADHD, ODD, and mood disorder. The last 4 years have been a wild roller coaster. She feels that she does not deserve to live, ask me to kill her, suspended from school 3 times in 2nd grade, kicks holes in walls, refuses to do school work at home and school, runs away from home, says that she is going to kill me, hits me, and gets very angry over nothing. I have been to several Dr's and I feel that more can be done and these Dr's are to quick to diagnosis and medicate these kids. She has been on Medication for the past year and it is getting changed almost every month or just add another one to the mix. I have taken her to several therapist and a few have told me that I have to be consistent and use time outs. When I ask them what I should do when she calls me names, kicks holes in the walls, or breaks what ever is in eyesight. I have heard I don't know or I should ignore it. If you don't have a child like this or live this life you really have no idea. I know how to parent, I have three other children. My oldest is 21, and I never had any problems with my other children. She has gotten better, the fits are not as long and she is able to stay in school. She still refuses to do the school work and she is a very bright girl. She will tell me the work is boring then say its to hard or its to much. I will not push her to do anything because it is just not worth the fight and seeing her like that. Does anyone have a child that has any of these issues? What have you done? What has helped? My heart is broke into a million pieces and I can't continue to watch her suffer. Something has to change in the mental health field.

Re: Bi Polar, ADHD, ODD
First of all I am so very sorry you are dealing with this, I know how hard it is. I do have a child with these issues and more than that I have these same issues myself. I'm bipolar, SPD, social anxiety, ODD and that is really just scratching the surface of the issues I could be diagnosed with if I was willing to really let people know just how crazy I am. I was originally diagnosed Bipolar at 15 but the symptoms were there for a very long time. I know I was not easy to deal with and though I was smart and had not problem with my school work I couldn't handle actually attending school if that makes any sense. I just couldn't get along with anyone. I have serious authority issues and would refuse to do work just because I was told to do it.
This brings me to my youngest son. He has been hard to handle since he was fairly young. My oldest is SN as well but he is ASD, SPD and Anxiety. He is a typically very compliant child (he was rough when he was tiny but he really does try to please). My youngest is just hard. He didn't sleep as an infant, he is never "off" now. He is defiant to an extreme. He has to have the last word, questions everything to death and will defy you to the point of putting himself in danger just to prove he is in control. He is also super impulsive. Right now he has a diagnosis of Bipolar and ADHD but honestly his doctor feels the ADHD is more likely just his mania and may disappear if we can ever get him properly medicated. His doctor doesn't like the ODD label, so he doesn't have it. I've had doctors apply it to me and others who also felt it was an improper label in most cases.
I do feel like we need to to improve in the mental health field but it really has come sooooo far even since I was a child. When I was a teen it was rare for some one under 18 to be diagnosed bipolar. Not that children were not bipolar, they just weren't diagnosed. At the time I was treated with prozac and when that made me crazy (because a bipolar person, child or adult should never be treated with an antidepressant) they added risperdal on top. These are things we know to never do now. Not only can you find doctors who will look at a child under 10 and seriously assess them for conditions like bipolar but they know about proper treatment. Unfortunately medication is the best treatment for bipolar. I know on ds diet is so popular to treat almost everything but when it comes to bipolar and especially when it comes to our children I have to stress the importance of finding a good med regimen. I can't tell you how much better my life is now that I am properly medicated. There was a time when I didn't have a future, I couldn't picture living through the next day or the day after that, I didn't make plans. Now I have plans, I can handle stress and manage my family. I will never be able to say "yes this is what normal feels like" but I think my life is pretty normal. That is what I am working towards for my son. It is hard for me, watching him struggle with this. Just managing him adds a great deal of stress to our lives and there are days that I don't know how to handle him but I try to remind my self that he doesn't want to be this way and he hates it as much as I do.
My recommendation is to find a doctor you like a trust to work with. If you don't like the psychiatrist or behavioral specialist you are working with find some one else. That relationship is incredibly important. Right now Tharen is not doing traditional therapy, I have found it works best to keep him very physically active. I know what makes him tic and what he loves the most in life. He lives for Roller Derby and I try to keep him as active with derby and skating as I can. I never use derby as a reward or threat, it is simply his outlet for energy. For discipline we try to use Love and Logic as much as possible. There was a time Tharen spent a good bit of time in his room because he was very explosive. Right now he is going through a very hyper phase so just as much physical activity as possible. He is sent to sit out when he can't control himself and is becoming a problem for other people (or animals) in our home. I home school and I will admit I completely changed my school program to fit his needs. There are rules but I am pretty open to change. I can't imagine fighting PS with him right now though I admit I fantasize about some one else having to deal with him from time to time.

Re: Bi Polar, ADHD, ODD
I hardly ever post on here, but I've been thinking about your post since I read it. You are right. If you don't have a child like this, you just don't know what it is like and how heartbreaking and stressful it is. I could have written your post (and then some) a year and a half ago. My son was diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, attachment disorder, FASD and a few other "alphabet" diagnosis. He would have horrible rages and would scream and throw things. There was nothing in his room except his bed and a dresser because he was so destructive. No closet doors. The curtain was on a closet rod that I took down and put up each day because he would just tear regular curtain rods off the wall. I spent so much time trying to protect my other children from him. He climbed out his window. He locked me out of the house. I could go on & on about his behaviours, but I'm sure you already know. I had already parented 6 children before him and NOTHING I did worked with him. Time out might work for your average kid, but not for these kiddos. I took him to a psychologist who, after several evaluations, recommended a pediatric psychiatrist so that we could medicate him. This was when he was just 4. It sounds terrible, but we really had a hard time seeing his future holding anything other than some sort of institutionalization. I have so been where you are.
Now he is 6 years old and a completely different boy. The change in him has been astounding. People who haven't seen him in a while ask what in the world we have done to him. There are things you can do. We have done a combination of things - diet changes (we are dairy & gluten free, and eat no processed foods), probiotics and fish oil help, therapeutic parenting, but the thing that has had the biggest impact has been a neurological reorganization program. This is something that we stumbled on as we were desperately searching for something...anything...that might help him. It isn't really well known, but for us and for many people with kids like ours, the results are nothing short of phenomenal. It is NOT easy, and usually takes a couple of years to complete. But it makes permanent, lasting changes. Did I mention it is NOT easy? You can google "neuro reorg" and get more info. I'm not sure how much I can post on here about other websites, but if you'd like to PM me, I'd be happy to share resources with you and help you get connected with other families that are going through this as well. There IS hope & help!!

Re: Bi Polar, ADHD, ODD
I didn't read the other responses but a good medication regimen is key. Diet really isn't the answer with severe mental illness, which is what it sounds like your child has. My 9 year old is stable on medication and he's schizophrenic, so it's possible. PM me if you'd like.

I am right there with you. My 5yo DD was just officially diagnosed today with ADHD, ODD, and Bi-Polar Disorder. We've been dealing with behavior issues since she was a toddler and we have a family history so it wasn't much of a surprise, though she is the first of my kids to exhibit behaviors so I am new to it as a parent. (I grew up around ADHD, Bi-Polar, & Schizophrenia as my sister and dad both had a combination of the disorders.)
I am not someone who likes medication, especially at her age. We already don't eat a lot of processed foods but I am going to be more strict about it and also try gluten/dairy free for her. We are starting behavior therapy next week. The psychiatrist did prescribe a very low dose of Clonidine (sp?) to give her before bed and I'm still researching it. Overall I'm just a bit overwhelmed but trying to take it 1 day at a time.

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — Bruins forward Milan Lucic was more than eight years away from being born when the 1980 U.S. Men's Olympic Team shocked the Russians and went on to the gold medal.
Luckily, the motion picture industry was able to provide the Canadian-born 22-year-old with some background on those events long before he arrived at the USA Rink at the Whiteface Lake Placid Olympic Center today.
"The movie was film in Vancouver, in the Agrodome, where I actually started playing hockey. You come and see this and it's actually two similar rinks," said Lucic after Boston's lineup regulars took the day off from skating. "It's cool to come see this. Obviously, they were big-time underdogs and they were able to win the Olympic gold and it's cool to see what it was like last year in Vancouver and the difference between the two cities. It's definitely cool to see both ends of it."
There are a number of reasons the Bruins decided to travel two hours south from Montreal for the two days between Game 3 and 4 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with the Canadiens.
"With a couple of days off, the schedule allowed us to come here. For our guys, it's a great place to be," said head coach Claude Julien. "It's nice, quiet and there's great history here. I think there's a great opportunity for us to get a quality practice in, and also get our rest. So there's a lot of good things about being here."
After reporting to the rink for some meetings and workouts, most of the players planned to have lunch in town and check out the quaint downtown area. As the Bruins' only American regular and an ex-U.S. Olympian, Tim Thomas drew a lot of attention today. But those born north of the U.S. also have an appreciation for what coach Herb Brooks' squad of college kids accomplished 31 years ago.
"I've seen the movies and I understand what happened here. It's exciting to be here where it actually happened," said forward Nathan Horton, who was five years from birth back then.
Julien is one of the few Bruins with the ability to recall the "Miracle." And without getting too sappy, he obviously is hoping some of that courage and determination the Olympians showed in '80 will resonate with his current group of players as they try to overcome a 2-1 series deficit.
"I'm still pretty proud of what they accomplished, 'said Julien. "We were just talking about that with some of the trainers on the way down. I said I know that as a Canadian, you hear the Americans talk a lot about the "Miracle on Ice." And I'm one of those guys that believes rightfully so. When you've got a bunch of college kids do what they accomplished, you can talk about it as long as they want. It was quite a feat.
"I was obviously watching that game as well and couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's a great inspirational story and sometimes you hope that you can look back at those things and build on it and believe in what you can accomplish."
By winning Game 3 in Montreal Monday, the Bruins don't need something as large as a miracle to help them in their current series. That doesn't mean it couldn't hurt to take inspiration from a "Miracle" team.

Faith & Science
Intelligent Design
All Ox Black black days Converse red Shoes Leather reflective Mono ahead Star 1dxwFqSilver Loop Women's Leather Naot Dress Sandal Threads 6xp8TwqzU
At the Center for Science & Culture's Facebook page, a commenter asks how we would respond to a graphic that is making the Internet rounds, humorously imagining a dialogue between God and an angel. It's a conversation about "intelligent design," with the angel playing the role of the skeptic and challenging God to explain some puzzling human anatomical features. The short dialogue includes this exchange:
Angel: What about this weird bag thing?
God: That's the appendix.
Angel: What does it do?
God: It explodes.
Angel: Really? That's all?
God: Pretty much.
This is the stuff that urban legends are made of. The human appendix's job isn't to "explode." In fact, it performs important immune functions. We've discussed this many times before here on ENV (see here, Edelman Multi Sandals Sam Cactus Bay Women's Blooming Flat Bright 6qY4xda4w, here, or Edelman Multi Sandals Sam Cactus Bay Women's Blooming Flat Bright 6qY4xda4w), but to reiterate, a 2007 news article stated:
The appendix "acts as a good safe house for bacteria," said Duke surgery professor Bill Parker, a study co-author. Its location — just below the normal one-way flow of food and germs in the large intestine in a sort of gut cul-de-sac — helps support the theory, he said. Also, the worm-shaped organ outgrowth acts like a bacteria factory, cultivating the good germs, Parker said. That use is not needed in a modern industrialized society, Parker said. If a person's gut flora dies, it can usually be repopulated easily with germs they pick up from other people, he said. But before dense populations in modern times and during epidemics of cholera that affected a whole region, it wasn't as easy to grow back that bacteria and the appendix came in handy.
Additionally, Loren G. Martin, professor of physiology at Oklahoma State University, lists various likely functions for the appendix. Writing on Scientific American's website, he includes these examples:
- being "involved primarily in immune functions"
- "function[ing] as a lymphoid organ, assisting with the maturation of B lymphocytes (one variety of white blood cell) and in the production of the class of antibodies known as immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies."
- helping with "the production of molecules that help to direct the movement of lymphocytes to various other locations in the body"
- "suppress[ing] potentially destructive humoral (blood- and lymph-borne) antibody responses while promoting local immunity"
- Additionally, it is "an important 'back-up' that can be used in a variety of reconstructive surgical techniques"
Likewise, a few months back David Klinghoffer Suede Heel GG36 Toe Peep Bootie Chunky Women Stone Perforated Leatherette Anq6wTOCz that researchers in the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology found:
Individuals without an appendix were four times more likely to have a recurrence of Clostridium difficile, [a pathogen common in hospitals,] exactly as Parker's hypothesis predicted. Recurrence in individuals with their appendix intact occurred in 11% of cases. Recurrence in individuals without their appendix occurred in 48% of cases.
In other words, the appendix performs important immune-related functions. Thus, the appendix is not there to occasionally explode. With the appendix increasingly considered to be an important organ that you wouldn't want to lose, researchers have also found that antibiotics can cure many cases of appendicitis (see Eriksson ahead reflective Mono red All Black Leather Ox black days Converse Star Shoes et al., 2006 ). Just as we would treat — and not simply remove — an infected kidney, it is now possible to treat — and not simply remove — an infected appendix.
As for that dialogue between God and an angel, what it tells us is that lots of folks out there who reject intelligent design do so because they believe Darwinian urban legends — an example being this argument that our appendix, no better than a useless vestigial organ, proves that human beings are the product of blind, unguided Darwinian evolution. The more we learn about such arguments, the more we learn how vestigial they are.

Here's A Factory Where Guy Fawkes Masks That So Many Protesters Wear Are Manufactured• Business Insider
"The Guy Fawkes mask has now become a common brand and a convenient placard to use in protest against tyranny — and I'm happy with people using it, it seems quite unique, an icon of popular culture being used this way," British graphic novel artist David Lloyd, the man who created the original image of the mask for a comic strip written by Alan Moore, told BBC.
At the top of Reddit today is somewhat ironic image of this icon of rebellion being mass-produced in a factory in Sao Goncalo near Rio de Janeiro.
Reuters notes that the masks are manufactured for sale to stores specializing in costumes.

USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, At Sea (NNS) -- The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group (ALCSG) launched its first combat sorties this deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), Feb. 16.
The ALCSG, which was last in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility (AOR) in March 2011, is comprised of the most effective collection of assets in the Navy, said Capt. David Silkey, commander, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 2.
"Having been deployed out here twice in a year and a half, we've played a huge role in the Navy's persistent presence in the AOR over the last couple of years," Silkey said. "Another trip out here is just business as usual for our guys. U.S. Navy assets have been in this region for more than 60 years, and we'll be here for decades to come, even long after the OEF mission is complete."
Lt. Troy Teasdale, a pilot assigned to the Bounty Hunters of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 2, said the OEF mission suits the professionals of CVW 2 quite well.
"We train our entire careers to properly execute what is asked of us," Teasdale said. "All of our aircrew are prepared to support coalition forces working hard to ensure security and stability throughout the region. We have the best maintenance team and aviators in the world to ensure we accomplish this demanding mission."
Rear Adm. Mike Shoemaker, commander, Carrier Strike Group (CSG) 9, said the strike group is well-equipped to assume the challenges of the OEF mission.
"The strike group's surface ships and aircraft squadrons are all manned, trained and ready," Shoemaker said. "We've done the preparation, now it's time to get to work."
CSG 9 consists of Lincoln, CVW 2, guided-missile cruiser USS Cape St. George (CG 71) and embarked Destroyer Squadron 9, comprised of guided-missile destroyers USS Momsen (DDG 92) and USS Sterett (DDG 104). The CVW 2 squadrons are the Bounty Hunters of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 2; the Vigilantes of VFA-151; the Kestrels of VFA-137; the Blue Blasters of VFA-34; the Sun Kings of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 116; the Lancers of Electronic Attack Squadron 131; the Golden Falcons of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 12; the Saberhawks of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 77; and the Providers of Carrier Logistics Support Squadron 30.
The ALCSG deployed Dec. 7, 2011, and is operating in the 5th Fleet AOR conducting maritime security operations, theater security cooperation efforts and support missions as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Following deployment, Lincoln will change homeports from Everett, Wash., to Norfolk, Va., for a periodic refueling complex overhaul.

Margaret Thatcher, PMQ's 1983 to Denis Healey.
I once queued to see Margaret Thatcher take on the house at Prime Minister's Question Time. I'd heard of her dominance of the chamber and wanted to see it for myself. What struck me most, after her powerhouse performance, was her walk, which was very human, almost a waddle.
Like most people I have strong feelings about Margaret Thatcher. On the one hand I believe she developed the policies that put us in the critical economic situation we are in today, on the other, she was an impressive role model for women, despite herself. No one doubts that a woman can lead a country now. She came from an ordinary background and pulled herself up by her bootstraps to make a historic career.
My diva series of dinners celebrates talented iconic women and Margaret Thatcher was all of those things. I weary of the level of personal hatred directed at her, it seems that as a woman she attracts what Meryl Streep terms a "special rage".
I've never met her but a left-wing friend hostile to Thatcher saw her at an event a couple of years ago. People were told not to speak to her, she was accompanied by minders, but my friend, a (female) journalist, decided to try for a quote. "How are you enjoying the evening?" she asked Lady Thatcher. Margaret Thatcher replied:"Good for you. You are trying. You've got 'get up and go'. You are only doing your job." My friend came away surprised at Mrs Thatcher's solidarity.
She didn't promote other women or women's causes, she liked being the Queen Bee. This may also be down to the era she was brought up in, the 'free love' and separatist feminism of the 60s and 70s must have been alienating for many women. Carol Thatcher, her daughter, explains in 2008:
"Feminists didn't think she was doing enough for their cause. This was the era of "Women's Lib" but my mother was a stratosphere away from the bra-burning demonstrations of the time. On the contrary, she felt the movement had done very little for her. She was a hard-working example of female success from relatively lowly beginnings who had achieved cabinet rank by pragmatically getting on with the task in hand rather than by manning barricades and wasting precious time protesting."
"I had recently to lunch in Number Ten all of the Nobel Prize winners. It was a great joy because we've got rather a lot in our country, more in proportion to our population than almost any other country. And sitting next to me was one of the most remarkable scientists called Max Perutz, who came over from Germany during the dark days, became a Nobel Prize winner and has done so much for us. And I was quite startled when he said, "Do you know women's liberation could not have succeeded if science had not provided women with household technology and many other scientific advances".
Mrs Thatcher, a grocer's daughter, was always concerned with food. Before she became an MP, Thatcher née Roberts, was a industrial food scientist for J. Lyons (who proudly cite her as a former employee on their website). She helped to develop saponification products adding air into cake fillings and icecream.
The candidate Margaret Roberts made early speeches on food science: the benefits of dried egg (sources: Margaret Thatcher foundation speeches here and here) seemed to be a major concern: ironic when you consider she sacked her only female minister Edwina Curry over the issue of eggs.
Before winning her first election in 1979 she went on the Mayo Clinic Diet, eating 28 eggs in one week to lose 20 pounds in weight.
Her 1971 speech to parliament in which she advocates the withdrawal of free school milk led her to be known by the nursery rhyme style title 'Margaret Thatcher milk snatcher':
"It is right that I should be asked about the effect on the poorest children of the withdrawal of free milk in schools. Again, I stress at the outset that if there is a medical need in the primary schools children will receive free milk whatever their parents' income. We believe that this was the right way to tackle special needs which may arise concerning individual children.
For those parents on social security payments the withdrawal of free milk occurs within a short time of increases in social security benefits. [An Hon. Member: "Disgraceful."] It would be more disgraceful if there were no increases in social security when this withdrawal took place. The withdrawal will occur at a time when increases in social security will have a number of effects.
The saving in a full year would be £9 million, leaving £5 million still on free school milk."
She also talked about food hoarding, causing outrage by suggesting that people nearing retirement should build up a supply of tinned goods:
"The Former Education Secretary, Mrs. Margaret Thatcher, tried to stop criticism of her stockpile of tinned food by declaring yesterday: "It's prudent housekeeping."
On the 28th of January I'm hosting a Margaret Thatcher Tea with help from Lynn Hill of The Secret Tea Room. To be clear, I'm not a tory and you do not have to be either. It is a chance however to dress up. She had such a signature look: pearls, big helmet hair, pussy cat bows, big handbags complete with satisfying click at the claps, tan tights and court shoes, although coming as a miner is also welcomed.
I've been researching food from her roots in Lincolnshire. The small town, Grantham, where her father was a member of the local council and ran his grocery shop, is celebrated for white gingerbread.
Further afield, Lincolnshire is famous for artisanal smoked fish from Grimsby and Lincolnshire Poacher cheese. We will also have handbag shaped biscuits and other Thatcherite goodies.
Yesterday I saw The Iron Lady. Unfortunately, it's not a film about Margaret Thatcher, it's a film about dementia. How would Meryl Streep, director Phillida Lloyd, writer Abi Morgan, like it if the frailties and loneliness of their old age were made into an entertainment movie? Before they were even dead?

We live in a world that thirsts for energy. As the population rises, the need for energy grows ever greater. So it should come as little surprise that a corporation is seeking to construct a liquefied natural gas platform in the Atlantic Ocean, 17 miles south of Jones Beach, partly in waters where an offshore wind farm has also been proposed.
A public hearing convened by the U.S. Maritime Administration at the Allegria Hotel in Long Beach on July 9 drew hundreds of protesters, who claimed that the planned Port Ambrose liquefied natural gas platform, where LNG from far-off ports would be offloaded and piped to the mainland, would pose a security risk to the New York metropolitan area because it would be a terrorist target. At the same time, they said, it would "industrialize" local marine habitats with a massive platform and ships crowding what was once open ocean.
The project, which Liberty Natural Gas LLC proposed last September, is now in what the Maritime Administration calls the "scoping phase" of a yearlong licensing process. During the scoping phase, the administration hears from all sides, including company officials, environmental experts and average citizens, looking at the good, the bad and the ugly of the project before an environmental impact statement is drafted.
The scoping phase lasts for a mere 36 days, according to the Maritime Administration. Nassau County Legislator David Denenberg, a Democrat from Merrick, is calling on the administration to extend this phase to 120 days to give people more time to digest the facts of the proposal and to voice their concerns and criticisms.
We agree that the scoping phase should be given more time. A notice for the Long Beach public hearing was published in the Federal Register on June 24. Beyond that, however, the hearing received little publicity. While the meeting attracted a number of protesters, surely there were many South Shore residents who did not hear about it, but likely would have wanted to attend and possibly speak out at it.

Hotel Deal Sparks Feud Over Preferred Shares
Value of Equity Inns' Preferred Shares Dropped After Goldman Fund Bought the Hotel Owner
Some preferred shareholders in hotel owner Equity Inns were hoping that a $2.2 billion acquisition by a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. real-estate fund would mean a nice payout alongside the common stockholders, who got a hefty premium.
Instead the value of the preferred shares has plunged. Goldman says that is because the preferred shareholders didn't read the small print. The investors say it is because the company and Goldman overstepped their authority....

Two recent pieces of news have reinforced one of our strongest convictions: that rising capital ratios within European banks are here to stay, and, for the first time since Greece's sovereign debt was downgraded to junk in 2010, the region's banks are not at the epicentre of the market's weakness.
It has been reported that the European Central Bank's (ECB's) supervisory board is setting draft capital ratios for 100 banks in the eurozone as part of its SREP – or, to provide its full title, the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process – for 2016. These 100 banks have two weeks to respond with any comments before the ECB sets its final, and binding, requirements in the fourth quarter of the year.
As yet, we don't know whether these banks will have to disclose their needs, as last time only Italian lenders and some institutions from Austria and Germany did so. Allegedly some 80% of the institutions supervised by the ECB will be required to hold a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of between 9-12%, with 'half of the total' required to be at 10%. This is more than was expected, with the average CET1 for a sample of European banks coming in at 11.1% (see figure 1).
Figure 1. European banks by numbers
Source: Computations by Hermes Credit based on bank disclosures, Bloomberg data as at 9 September 2015
It has also been suggested in the press that the minimum total loss absorbing capital (TLAC) requirement for the world's systemically important banks will initially be set at 16% of their risk-weighted assets, plus buffers, from 2019 onwards. This would then rise to 20%, plus buffers, by 2022.
The crux of the matter is which liabilities will count towards the TLAC ratio. The Financial Stability Board will convene on 25 September and presumably finalise its proposal, but will likely reveal the official rules at the G20 meeting in Turkey in November.
However, taking a step back, we think both pieces of news are positive for the credit spreads of European banks. This is because the ECB and European Banking Authority, on top of their ambitious stress test next year, are keeping the optimistic dividend promises of bank CEOs very much in check.
At present, the average total capital ratio for European banks is strong at 21% (see figure 1). The institutions' progress in strengthening balance sheets indicates that this will continue to rise. The only snag is the potential for increasing supply to put some pressure on valuations – however, given the challenges the banks have surmounted in recent years, this is a nice problem to have.

A winner was selected from 108 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
Accountant to Coach
A few years ago I successfully made the transition from Accountant to business coach and now I am helping other accountants do the same. Accountants work very long hours on compliance work (like tax etc) and very little time helping their clients grow and improve their business - helping business owners is the work they all actually prefer to do. I used to work 70hrs a week, but now only work 35hrs a week - doing what I love, and I now make DOUBLE the profit.
CPA's, Chartered Accountants who are in a partnership or a sole practitioner .
They work long hours and don't have any time for themselves or their family. They have staff that need constant supervision and they don't get the time to help their clients with business problems. They are losing this business to business coaches.
As our target audience is Accountants - this logo needs to be very professional, clean and classy. This logo will be used for a website logo (wordpress), business cards and all branding of this new business.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
No cartoons
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
Please bear in mind our target audience is Accountants, so it needs to be very professional but also exciting and memorable.

It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this post. A close family friend died unexpectedly in a car accident this week while travelling out of country for work. I can not even begin to imagine the sadness and sorrow that his family is feeling at this time.
I am still in shock with the news and find myself unable to really focus on anything else these past few days. Every day since I heard the news I have been on the verge of tears. Usually I can hold it in but despite my best efforts have had a few public displays of sadness. I have only told a few of my friends of this tragedy as I do not want to unload my sadness on everyone. But, for those that do know they have been so helpful and supportive. Their sincere and warm hugs when they greet me always bring the tears to my eyes that I have been holding back all day. This may sound strange but when you are single and alone and you are dealing with a personal tragedy the one thing you miss the most is the contact and affection of a loving partner. I don't think my friends realize how important their hugs and kisses really are to me.
The sadness I feel lately is a combination of this particular tragedy along with some other life changing events that have happened in the past few weeks that I have not yet mentioned. I was also told a few weeks ago that my job was being eliminated and that if I wanted to stay with the Firm I could take on a different role within the department. I felt like a loser and a failure when I head the news. I obviously decided to take the position as I do not want to be unemployed at a time when the economy is so flakey.
But again, during a time when I was down and low my friends came through for me. My co-workers found out the news and were as shocked as I was. So many of my co-workers came to me and asked me to stay with the Firm. They would miss me if I left and though they had no control over the situation they would do what they could to help and support me. I have felt truly appreciated and wanted in my office these past few weeks during my transition. And, this life change made me realize that while I may see myself as a failure my friends, family and co-workers clearly see me as an asset.
Lately, I find myself battling grief and sadness all day every day. And, while I know things will get better and I know things will change, for now, my grief is overwhelming. So, for those of you that know me, if I do not seem like myself, it's because I am not. If I look like I need a hug, I do. But be prepared because I might not let go!!

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyA gregarious bird, but less so than some other penguin species (2), the gentoo can form breeding colonies ranging from thirty to thousands of pairs (5). Arriving at suitable nesting ground between June and November (the exact date depending on the location) (2), each pair of penguins will set about the task of constructing a nest from stones, tussock grass and moss (2). The penguins tear up plants to use as nest material and fertilise the ground with their droppings, resulting in grass growing well the subsequent year, hence their favourable reputation with sheep farmers (5). Into these nests two white, spherical eggs are laid, which are incubated by both the male and female for 31 to 39 days (2). The penguin chicks fledge after 85 to 117 days, but continue to be fed by their parents for a further 5 to 50 days. Gentoo penguins, which reach sexual maturity at the age of two years (2), are not only faithful to certain nest sites, with most returning to the previous year's nest, but they are also loyal to breeding partners, with many forming long-lasting pair bonds (3). Walking with a rather comedic, waddling gait on land, the gentoo penguin shows its true talents when in the water. With its stream-lined body and 'flippers' that provide effective propulsion through the water (6), the gentoo penguin dives deep into the ocean in pursuit of its prey, and is capable of reaching impressive depths of up to 170 metres (3). The exact diet of the gentoo penguin varies depending on location, but can include Atlantic krill, other crustaceans, fish, cephalopods and polychaetes (2).

I believe that certain primitive cultures, remote tribes with their own unique language, do not distinguish between different species of trees. They have just one word to describe all trees. However, that does not mean that such people are not able to visually distinguish between the different shapes and sizes of leaves, and the different textures of bark on different species of tree, but it must surely make the entire process slower and more confusing.
I might buy the left brain/right brain argument if one eye were covered. But if both eyes are open then it doesn't really pass muster.
Even without words, it would be simple and quick to distinguish between a pine tree an a birch tree.
In that respect I have always wondered why we don't have a specific word for the color between Cyan and Green, even though the color does appear often enough in images for example where ocean and beach meet. I would think that the color happens often enough to be named by western society? (I am referring specifically to the set of general primary colors, not the artist colorpalette naming).
Ray, I don't agree. I don't know the specific words foe the two different hues of green in the experiment in the linked article but I can tell easily enough which is different. I just don't think language really has anything to do with it.
Ray, that's the same information as in the article linked at the top of the thread. With the same exact test. It reaffirms nothing. It's some of the work on which the first article here is based.
When we hear a description, we form images in our minds.... these images resemble visual percepts and seem to make use of the visual system itself. Different linguistic descriptions of the same scene may evoke quite different images.....The way a scene is described may also alter our memory of it. For example, people who see a green car and then have it described as ``blue'' are more likely to recognize a more bluish car as the one they saw before than people who didn't hear it labeled [Loftus and Palmer, 1974], and people who are asked to label non-prototypical color chips perform worse on a recognition task than people who did not label them during study [Schooler and Engstler-Schooler, 1990].
And how many of those 50 million results are just the same few regurgitated in multiple places?
Look, you buy the theory. Fine. No problem. I don't. I think it's junk science.
I don't know the specific words foe the two different hues of green in the experiment in the linked article but I can tell easily enough which is different. I just don't think language really has anything to do with it.
If I present you with one of those pictures and I ask you "Do you see 8 green squares?", do you say "Yes" or 'No"?Even if they're different, as long as they all look like the colour which I've been told as being "green", I'd probably answer "Yes".Now once I've declared that they're all green, part of my brain has therefore reconciled that despite there being some difference between them that they are all the same.

The single best way to remove harmful plaque -- a thin, sticky film loaded with bacteria -- from teeth and gums is to brush teeth regularly and properly.
Because every mouth is different, there is more than one effective way to brush. Deciding which way is that's best for you depends largely on your teeth position and gum condition. Talk to your dentist to decide which brushing method is best for your mouth.
Generally, most dentists recommend a circular method for brushing. This includes brushing only a small group of teeth at a time -- gradually covering the entire mouth. It's important to use a circular motion because using a back and forth motion may cause the following:
Receding gums
Exposed and sensitive root surface
Wearing down of the crown and root surfaces at the gum line
Instead, dentists recommend the following method:
Place the toothbrush beside your teeth with the bristles pointed at the gums at a 45-degree angle.
Gently brush only a small group of teeth at a time (in a circular or elliptical motion) until the entire mouth is covered.
Brush the outside of the teeth, inside of the teeth, and the chewing surfaces.
Gently brush the tongue to remove bacteria and freshen breath.
Repeat steps one through four at least twice daily, especially after meals and snacks.
A toothbrush head should be small -- about 1 inch by 1/2 inch -- and should have a handle suitable for firm grasping. The bristles of the brush should be soft, nylon, and rounded at the ends. This helps ensure that the brush bristles are kind to the gums and tooth surfaces. Soft, polished bristles allow you to reach into the crevice between the teeth and gums to remove plaque without damaging the gums. Some brushes are too abrasive and can wear down the enamel on teeth. Thus, in most cases, medium and hard bristles are not recommended. Only gentle pressure is needed when brushing to remove the plaque. Excessive pressure can cause the gums to recede and abrade the tooth surface.
Generally, brushing is recommended twice a day for at least 2 minutes each time. People generally think they are brushing long enough, when in fact, most people spend less than 1 minute brushing. In addition, it is generally better to brush 2 minutes twice a day instead of brushing quickly 5 or more times throughout the day.
Dentists advise brushing your teeth during the day while at work, school, or play. Keeping a toothbrush handy -- in your desk or backpack -- increases the chance that you will brush during the day. Replace your toothbrush every 2 to 3 months.
Toothpaste is made up of the following cleaning ingredients:
Humectant (helps retain moisture) and water (75%)
Abrasive (20%)
Foaming and flavoring agents (2%)
pH buffers (2%)
Coloring agents, binders, and opacifiers (1.5%)
Fluoride (.24%)
Brushing with toothpaste (particularly toothpaste with fluoride) helps to:
Remove plaque
Resist decay
Promote remineralization (strengthening enamel that has been attacked by acids)
Clean and polish teeth
Remove teeth stains
Freshen breath
Fluoride is the most crucial ingredient in toothpaste. As long as the toothpaste contains fluoride, the brand or type (paste, gel, or powder) generally does not matter. All fluoride toothpastes work effectively to fight plaque and cavities, and clean and polish tooth enamel. The brand you choose should bear the ADA (American Dental Association) seal of approval on the container, which means that adequate evidence of safety and efficacy have been demonstrated in controlled, clinical trials.
Some toothpastes offer tartar control pyrophosphates to prevent the build-up of hard calculus deposits on teeth, while others offer whitening formulas to safely remove stains, making teeth brighter and shinier. But, contrary to clever advertising and popular belief, fluoride is the true active ingredient that works the hardest to protect your teeth.

Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda yesterday unveiled a US$2 billion aid package to help developing Asian nations fight pollution and combat climate change.
The initiative, announced by Fukuda at a summit of Asian leaders, includes soft loans and training programs over five years, and is aimed at helping the region tackle global warming while pushing forward with economic development.
The package "includes loan and grant aid as well as technological training, targeting East Asian countries," a Japanese official said, without specifying which nations would receive aid.
"For ASEAN nations, the efforts to address climate change must not hinder them from seeking development and economic prosperity," another official said.
Yesterday's summit included the 10 members of ASEAN, plus Australia, China, India, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea. The summit issued a declaration on fighting climate change.
The new Japanese aid is aimed specifically at helping developing Asian countries tackle air and water pollution, as well as improve sewage processing.
Japan has long relied on aid as a primary instrument of its foreign policy and considers Southeast Asia a key region to exert international influence.
Pollution in China is already affecting parts of western Japan, and Japan is keen to share information to help other countries clean up the environment while ensuring economic growth.
Indonesia will host a conference on a successor to the Kyoto Protocol next month in Bali. The protocol sets limits on emissions by developed nations, but the US and Australia have refused to join it because it exempts major polluters, China and India.
Australia, the world's worst greenhouse gas polluter per capita, says the emission targets imposed on it could hurt Australian industries while handing competitive advantages to developing countries.
Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer told reporters yesterday there were signs India and China have recognized they need to take action to stabilize and reduce emissions.
"They are not going to take the view that only developed countries should deal with this issue," Downer said. "I think there has been a turning of the tide in terms of China and India's position on climate change."
China's booming economy has propelled it past the US as the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide, the atmospheric pollutant that is primarily responsible for global warming.
Two-thirds of China's power comes from coal, which releases more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than any other energy source. Over the next five years, the country expects to complete at least one new coal-fired power plant a week.
In India, where several automakers are competing to provide affordable cars to the country's enormous middle class, there were 300,000 cars registered last year in the capital New Delhi alone.
The government acknowledges that it expects the country's emissions to grow fivefold by 2031, which would put India about where the US is now.
The East Asia Summit was expected to call on members to work to reduce by at least 25 percent their energy intensity -- the amount of energy needed to produce a dollar of gross domestic product -- by 2030.
East Asian countries also will adopt an "aspirational goal" of expanding their combined forest cover by at least 15 million hectares by 2020 and fight deforestation.

In 1917, Wilson Brady was granted patent number 1213452 for his stopper extractor. Emblazoned with "U-NEEK" across the handle, the little cast iron spiked opener truly lives up to its moniker.
Aside from the hook type opener that also graces the handle, there are three golf tee like spikes, that to utilize this as a cork puller one pushes each pin through the base of the U-Neek and into the cork obstruction. Theoretically, one the pins are inserted, turning the handle would break the seal of the cork from the bottle, and soon enough the offending obstruction would be extracted.
If you have a U-NEEK, I would love to have another (mine has temporarily gone missing).

Launceston Review
It was with the lyrics from that song, that Elton John entered the Launceston Silverdome stage last night.
``It's great to be back,'' he said, dressed in a blue shirt, a long sequined jacket and his signature red trimmed, blue lens glasses.
A packed audience of 5500, some of whom had taken more than 40 minutes to get into the Silverdome because of traffic congestion, greeted Sir Elton with cheers, screams and a standing ovation.
Straight to his shiny black grand piano, Sir Elton was quickly into his concert and it didn't take long for the crowd to get into Sir Elton's energetic performance.
During Philadelphia Freedom fans danced up to the stage in the aisles before being pulled away by security guards.
Sir Elton continued on with Candle in the Wind and Rocket Man.
He even told the story behind why he sang his rendition of Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters in New York City in 2001 for a 9/11 memorial concert.
He said he had sung the song as a dedication to the emergency workers and their families.
Sir Elton was supported by a band that included long-time members Davey Johnstone on guitar and Nigel Olsson on drums.
Croatian cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser warmed up the crowd with performances of AC/DC's Highway to Hell and a selection of U2 songs.
Sir Elton was performing in Launceston to celebrate his 40th anniversary of his hit Rocket Man.

There are many categories of scientists, people of second and third rank, who do their best, but do not go very far. There are also people of first-class rank, who make great discoveries, fundamental to the development of science. But then there are the geniuses, like Galileo and Newton. Well Ettore Majorana was one of them .

Judy's Tiny But Totally Maximized Kitchen

- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- Our kitchen is truly tiny but we maximized its function with thoughtful details and a careful layout. We found a way to fit in a small dishwasher, a large cast iron sink, and more than doubled the counter space by installing front-loading washer/dryers and repositioning the stove. These changes made it so much more enjoyable to cook in this space.
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.:
- A major challenge was the limited cabinet space because we had to fit our washer/dryer and we really wanted a dishwasher. We solved this by adding a built-in china cabinet adjacent to the kitchen for our dishes. We added an extra drawer to the below-the-counter Ikea cabinets that normally come with two drawers. We also added a pot rack and cabinets above the fridge and next to the window.
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?:
- Chorizo-potato tacos with ginger-cilantro cream. It's become a weeknight staple but it's also easy to scale up for a party, and everybody loves it.
