Government of, by and for the special interests is rolling right along, despite a national debt that hangs like the Sword of Damocles over all of us.
A case in point is the on-going debate in Congress about the Abrams Tank. The Army doesn't want more Abrams tanks. But members of Congress are pushing to force more of them on the Army, anyway.
One factor in this is, of course, the location of Abrams Tank plants. These plants provide jobs for constituents. Voting for the funding because it will keep jobs for your constituents, is, of course, pork barrel voting. But at least the Congressperson who's doing it has the interests of the people who elected them in mind.
But what about the rest of them? I rather doubt that there are enough Abrams Tank plants in enough Congressional districts to swing a vote in Congress. So, what's motivating this bi-partisan push to force the Army to buy more tanks, despite the fact that it says it does not need them to keep us safe?
This is just a wild guess, of course, but I'm wondering if campaign donations play a part in this. Or maybe the possibility of a cushy job after leaving office.
From the Associated Press:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Built to dominate the enemy in combat, the Army's hulking Abrams tank is proving equally hard to beat in a budget battle.
Lawmakers from both parties have devoted nearly half a billion dollars in taxpayer money over the past two years to build improved versions of the 70-ton Abrams.
But senior Army officials have said repeatedly, "No thanks."
It's the inverse of the federal budget world these days, in which automatic spending cuts are leaving sought-after pet programs struggling or unpaid altogether. Republicans and Democrats for years have fought so bitterly that lawmaking in Washington ground to a near-halt.
Yet in the case of the Abrams tank, there's a bipartisan push to spend an extra $436 million on a weapon the experts explicitly say is not needed.
"If we had our choice, we would use that money in a different way," Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army's chief of staff, told The Associated Press this past week.
Why are the tank dollars still flowing? Politics. (Read the rest here.)

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) says the grounding of the Northern Territory's biggest airline is not a result of an order by the regulator.
Hardy Aviation has confirmed it grounded all its flights on Saturday after CASA wrote to it on Friday about safety issues, which first emerged a week ago.
CASA spokesman Peter Gibson says "instrument rating" issues had been raised in relation to Hardy's chief pilot.
"We wrote to them yesterday about a range of issues and made a series of proposals," he told AAP.
Hardy had been given until Monday to respond to the letter, Mr Gibson said, but CASA had not moved to ground the airline.
"What happens next depends on what their response is," he said.
"If the whole airline is grounded, if that's the case, it must have been their (the airline's) decision."
However, Hardy's managing director, John Hardy, said on Saturday that CASA had grounded all its flights on Friday night over concerns with its pilot training and flight simulator.
Mr Hardy said hundreds of people would be affected by the grounding of the airline's 32 planes.
"How is the Northern Territory going to be serviced? I am really flabbergasted by their action, they're just diabolical," he told the ABC.
"Maybe they've got some concerns with us and we're working through them, most of it's administrative I think, and we'll work through it.
"But to shut the place down just while they flex their muscles with us is quite disappointing."

High Performance, Naturally
- Selective target strand specificity via LNA chemical modification
- High potency and efficacy from next generation SVM design algorithm
- Clean and reliable phenotypic data
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are RNAs that are transcribed from the genome but are not translated into proteins. Recent data suggest that thousands of long (>100 nt) ncRNAs are expressed in a developmentally regulated manner in mammals. Growing evidence also indicates that these ncRNA transcripts are functional, especially in the regulation of epigenetic processes, and thus ncRNAs are emerging as important regulators of diverse functions. ncRNAs represent a new frontier of molecular genetic, molecular biological, physiological, and cell biological research with tremendous potential to advance our understanding of the biological processes in human health and disease.
Ambion® Silencer® Select siRNAs for non-coding RNA (ncRNA) now enable ncRNA researchers for the first time to easily obtain siRNAs for any ncRNA. The same industry-leading siRNA design and chemical modifications used in our standard Silencer® Select siRNAs are also incorporated into Silencer® Select siRNAs for ncRNA (Figure 1). Pre-designed siRNAs for ncRNA are designed to target both cytoplasmic and nuclear long (>100 nt) ncRNAs in the NCBI and RNAdb databases for human, mouse, and rat. The ncRNAs for which pre-designed siRNA are available closely match the TaqMan® Non-coding RNA Assays currently offered by Life Technologies. Additional siRNAs can be custom designed for these targets and other newer targets using the custom design feature. Up to 10 pre-designed siRNAs are displayed for each ncRNA target.
For information or inquiries for siRNA libraries targeting non-coding RNAs in human. mouse or rat, please contact email@example.com
Figure 1. The concept behind Silencer® Select siRNAs.
Silencer® Select siRNAs are designed with off-target checks performed against the coding (NM and XM) and non-coding (NR and XR) transcripts in the NCBI RefSeq database to ensure that siRNA designs are specific for the intended target. LNA® chemical modifications were incorporated at carefully selected positions to further enhance specificity. The use of Silencer® Select siRNAs offers tremendous advantages, especially when targeting transcripts that may be transcribed in both sense and antisense orientation. Because a high level of antisense and sense transcription is estimated to occur, strand-specific knockdown is an important feature that adds significant value to any siRNA experiment.
For example, the ncRNA MCM3APAS is a natural antisense transcript of MCM3AP (Figure 2). Several Silencer® Select siRNAs were designed against MCM3APAS and tested for knockdown. The expression of MCM3AP was also assessed. All the Silencer® Select siRNAs targeted to MCM3APAS specifically knocked down only the MCM3APAS transcript and not the MCM3AP transcript (Figure 3). Moreover, although siRNA 7, which is designed to a region that is common to both the MCM3APAS and MCM3AP transcripts, could have been effective against both transcripts, only the guide strand exhibited activity and led to knockdown of MCM3APAS. The passenger strand is completely inactive due to the Silencer® Select chemical modifications, and no knockdown of MCM3AP was observed.
Figure 2. Alignment of MCM3AP and MCM3APAS transcripts. MCM3AP (NM-003906.3) and MCM3APAS (NR-002776.3) transcript alignment shows that their genome coordinates overlap and the transcripts are natural sense and antisense transcripts. The sequence alignment below shows siRNA 7 targets both the transcripts.
Figure 3. Specificity of LNA-modified Silencer® Select siRNAs. Multiple Silencer® Select siRNAs designed to knock down non-coding RNA MCM3APAS (anti-sense transcript) effectively knock down the intended ncRNA target, but not the coding MCM3AP (sense transcript) in HeLa cells.
Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT-1) is a long ncRNA expressed from chromosome 11 and is known to be misregulated in several human carcinomas. MALAT-1 is a bona fide nuclear localized ncRNA, and its overexpression is implicated in the development and progression of numerous malignant cancers.
Using SOLiDTM System next-generation sequencing technology for deep sequencing, we have identified MALAT-1 as one of the highly expressed ncRNAs in HeLa cervical cancer cells. We have also confirmed the expression of MALAT-1 in several common human cell lines (HeLa, A549, HEK293, Jurkat, U2-OS, MCF7, and HuH7) at high levels using the MALAT-1 specific non-coding TaqMan® Assay (Hs00273907_s1) in quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR).
We used the Ambion® Silencer® Select pipeline to design siRNAs and tested in HeLa and A549 cells to inhibit MALAT-1 expression and evaluated the knockdown efficacy using the LipofectamineTM RNAiMAX Transfection Reagent. Our data from HeLa cells showed that the siRNAs are effective at 30 nM to silence MALAT-1 by 80% or greater, and this effect occurred as early as 24 hours post-transfection and persisted up to 5 days. The knockdown was further confirmed by northern blot analysis, which showed a strong reduction in MALAT-1 transcript levels that is consistent with the knockdown determination by qRT-PCR (Figure 4).

Field of Dreams | Vintage Inspired Mustard Coat
Added Oct 10, 2011
By burdastyle
New York, New Yo...
For many of us, we are in the beginning of Autumn and thinking about how to stay warm and stylish in the cooler weather, so we looked to prolific BurdaStyle member melonhead to create a coat to fit the bill— and we're totally in love!
In her own words: "I was inspired by the mod style of the 50s and 60s. I've fallen in love with all things 50s lately…this is probably due to the all-day marathon of Pushing Daises episodes and seeing all the adorable clothes that they have in it. I loved the piping details seen in Orla Keiley's collections and I wanted to create something similar to that effect. So I sewed piping on the collar, pocket flaps, and tab on the back of the coat."
On the sewing process: "I found the pattern instructions to be a little confusing when it came to sewing in the lining and making the vent in the back of the coat. The pattern called for shoulder pads, but I left that part out. Because of that, I had to make some slight adjustments to the sleeves and armholes of the coat. I also made the length a couple inches shorter and added a tab to the back of the coat. Overall it was a very fun coat to make, but I think a couple adjustments could be made to the pattern instructions to make it a little easier to understand. "
P.S. Melonhead takes all of her own photos using a tripod. We <3
P.P.S. For those in the Southern hemisphere this could make for a great Spring coat too!

Wilted Coverings.
Tears drop on the smoldering fire
Burning echoes reaching from the grave.
Angels strive, beckoning onward
Demons cry, no contact has been made.
Prophets speak of lies in season
To clarify a future wrapped in chains.
With staggered footsteps they shuffle off blindly
Having eaten their sins fresh off golden plates.
No saviours come to try and find you
There are no dreams to come.
Truth resides in a bottomless chasm
Restrained forever, sight blinded by the bones.
Lying in repose here beside you, silent screams abound
Willful dreams will always find you, the beating of your heart makes no sound.

Thanks, Steph. This kinda came from all the time I've been working. Would get a sentence or thought, write it down, bring it home, put it in my bowl. When I finally got the time, put them together and viola, there it was. Weird way, but it seemed to work.

Sunkist welcomes new packinghouse member
By Gazette Staff Writer — Wednesday, August 13th, 2008
August 5, 2008, - Cal Citrus Packing Co. Inc, a well-known grower/shipper in the California citrus industry, is the newest member of Sunkist Growers, the grower-owned citrus marketing cooperative headquartered in Sherman Oaks, California.
"We're looking forward to our affiliation with Sunkist," said Jerry Luallen, President of Cal Citrus. "We have an excellent product and Sunkist has an excellent marketing network and a brand name that is known around the world. Sunkist has been streamlining operations, reducing costs and greatly expanding the opportunities it offers to growers and shippers. We've watched the changes and seen the results and we're excited about joining Sunkist and enjoying the benefits of membership."
Cal Citrus is a premier grower, packer and shipper of fresh citrus, headquartered in Lindsay, California in the heart of California's Central Valley. With a product list that includes Navel and Valencia oranges, and lemons, Cal Citrus brings 2,000 acres of citrus into the Sunkist system. The fruit will continue to be packed under the familiar Portokali, Seabiscuit, Sugar Test, Jungle Cat, Golden Boy and My Goodness labels – and now it will also wear the Sunkist brand.
"We're extremely pleased to welcome Cal Citrus into Sunkist," said Russ Hanlin, Sunkist's President-Elect. "They are a very experienced and respected grower and packer, known for their customer service. The affiliation brings to our system a large supply quality citrus and a philosophy of excellence that matches our own." Cal Citrus is projected to add 40,000 field cartons of lemons, 1.1 million field cartons of Navels and 125,000 field cartons of Valencias to Sunkist's portfolio for the 2008-09 season.
"We have been growing and harvesting for nearly a century and packing and shipping since the 1950s." said Luallen. "We have years of experience and dedication in producing a great product."
Cal Citrus traces its beginning to the founding of Luallen Soil Service, which began purchasing a base of investor ranches that soon grew to 1,500 acres. As the company continued to grow it purchased a packinghouse in 1969, establishing Cal Citrus Packing Company. In 1976, Cal Citrus bought the former Waddel Packing in Lindsay and in 1981 it established a third packinghouse, also in Lindsay, which now houses the company's current citrus bagging operation.
"We are very proud of our Central California 'Lindsay Citrus Belt' heritage," said Luallen, "and we are committed to maintaining our reputation of quality and integrity and expanding our marketing reach through Sunkist."

Boxingscene Lounge Interview: Cuauhtémoc1502
Tonight, our guest is a boxing trainer from cali, also a solid poster, Cuauhtémoc1502.
Image View Removed. Please Click Here.
Sup, Cuauh?
Whats going on.
You're one of the older fellas on this forum, are you experienced and ready to take down
any of us if need be?
Well I'm al little past 35 years of age, I guess that makes me older than a few but still a young horny man. I have much experience and am ready to fight some of the muscle heads in this place because I have a chin like Marg and don't take knees. I keep in good shape and have been in plenty of street fights and more than 50 amateur fights. I'm like a grizzled vet, sort of like the Tony Thorton (punching postman to you old heads) of boxing scene.
What were you doing when you were ages 19-25 and when did you start boxing?
I started boxing when I was 13 years old. Was getting into trouble and fights and my brother had me walk into a local gym and learn to box. Had my first amateur fight when I was 14 and continued until about 17 when I got my GF pregnant and my dream of turning pro died when my child was born. So 19-25 I was trying to be a daddy but was still getting into trouble and trying to leave the lifestyle of the people I grew up around. My homie was shot and killed and that woke me up and I decided to make a move to FLA . I also lived in Mexico City off and on after my mother and father passed. So I have experience living there as well. I would say almost half my life.
Have you ever been arrested, if so, when and why?
I say this with ZERO pride because I think to many Chicanos fall into that life and think it's the way to go and I never thought of myself as someone who needs to follow what others do or tell me to do but I did get arrested when I was 17 and spent 1 yr 9 mo in prison. I had a gun on me that wasn't legal and with a few of my past arrests I was given time. When I got out it was the first step to changing my life and doing the right thing and that involved moving to FLA a few years down the road. I wanted to be something different than be some cholo that never made shit of himself or ended up in the same 2 places everyone I knew ended up, prison or dead.
Are you a religious man? what's the difference you see here between posters who
believe in god and those who don't?
I believe in God but I don't take the Bible literally. I grew up Catholic like most Mexicans I guess but I have had experiences in my life watching my mother die and my father as well and I think I have felt God in my life. To each his own I guess, I don't preach God to anyone and I think the key is to be respectful of others and make sure that line isn't crossed because that's where the problems come about. I don't know if there is a God and ignorance might be bliss but I do find strength in knowing there might be one and he is watching over me. It makes me a better person and has changed my life into wanting to help people less fortunate than me. Any sort of extreme thinking is bad, whether it's people that force God on you or people that want to be disrespectful to those who do believe in God. Bottom line is we need to respect each other.
You're from Cali but live in Miami, when did you move and have you returned since?
I moved almost 10 years ago and have returned to visit family but I love living in Miami. Weather is nice, met my wife here and have made a life here. I train at 3 gyms and do what I love to do for the most part (at least part time).
Which poster would likely be quick to take a knee against the last guy
you sparred with?
I would say Wazza, Jack, Stones, Rage (or whatever he calls himself now) projectxxx or any of these internet tough guys that haven't done **** in their life and like to run their mouths about stuff they have no clue of. There's a lot of people tougher than me in this world and that alone has taught me to keep my mouth shut. It will help you live longer.
Cuauh, would you describe the boxingscene lounge in words, but in spanish?
Es un lugar en donde la gente viene para hablar mierda y encabronar a otros. Muy pocos en este lugar entienden o saben del boxeo pero lo tengo que admitir que es un lugar que ayuda pasar el tiempo cuando no tengo nada que hacer en el trabajo. También enseñan fotos y vídeos de viejas culonas pero tengo que tener cuidado porque trabajo con otra gente que puedo ver el monitor de mi computadora.
Who are your favorite boxers and sports teams?
Julio Cesar Chavez, Salvador Sanchez, Finito Lopez, Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Alexis Arguello, Evander Holyfield, Azuma Nelson, Edwin Rosario, Oscar De Lahoya....those were the guys that I grew up watching and loving. There are more but there's too many to name.
I love my LA teams, Dodgers and Lakers but I grew up a Cowboys fan because there was no team in LA at my age, the Raiders were in Oakland and anyone knows that a rival city and team. Loved the Cowboys and still do.
Tell me 3 things,
1) tell me about the saddest person you seen walk into your Gym,
I don't know about sad but there's a kid who has a heart condition. He had to get open heart surgery and he's very frail and you can tell he was picked on in life. I call him Danger from the movie Million Dollar Baby. He works out, tries very hard and is someone I respect because even though he has no athletic ability, he has worked himself into being able to spar about half speed and enjoys it. I hate cleaning his nose though because the kid is a bleeder but I work with him almost everyday.
2) the funniest thing that happened at your gym,
Guy got hit in the stomach and kind of farted and shit himself a little bit. He asked to stop the fight and ran to the bathroom to clean his ass.
Other time this guy asked me to video tape his sparring and he got knocked out cold. He wouldn't get up and took him about 10 minutes to recover. I was worried because I thought I might need to call the ambulance but when he did recover I handed him his camera and he said "what's this" he didn't even know he gave it to me and that it was his. Funny....
3) something that occurred there that absolutely drove you nuts.
I had some kid from another gym come in that thought he was a badass and was hitting in sparring really hard. I warned him to take it easy because the guy he was sparring wasn't that good so he was taking advantage of the guy so I had him spar this puerto rican kid who was about 20 lbs lighter than him so he thought he was going to kill him. Little did he know the kid was golden gloves in N.J and put him on his ass and bloodied his nose. Kid left screaming he could take him in a street fight and never came back. I hate bullies...
Tell me your opinion on all these alts and racist threads?
I don't pay much mind to them to be honest. I think alts and racist are cowards who would never say these things in public so they hide behind a computer to say these things. The more you pay attention, the more you wind them up. It's better to ignore them, that's the worst thing you can do but people don't learn.
What's the biggest lesson so far you've learned in life?
Don't conform yourself. Success isn't measured by money or fame, it's measured by personal fulfillment and satisfaction. In other words, be happy and content in what you do. If you have the potential do something, work hard to do it even if it's something that most don't want to see you do. Everyone told me all my life I would end up in prison like my cousin for life and I decided I would get up and leave the world I knew. At the end of the day, it's your life and it's short, believe me when I tell you it's short so make the most of it. Sitting around doing nothing is something you will regret for the rest of your life because I can think back when I was 18 and it seemed a few years ago. Time fly's by....
Who would you like to see me interview, sometime?
I would say Walt or Baya if you already haven't. They seem like cool cats I could talk boxing with, have a few beers and just chill. I's sure both of them have some good stories to tell.
Thanks, cuauh.
Your welcome.

Cuauh, would you describe the boxingscene lounge in words, but in spanish?
Es un lugar en donde la gente viene para hablar mierda y encabronar a otros. Muy pocos en este lugar entienden o saben del boxeo pero lo tengo que admitir que es un lugar que ayuda pasar el tiempo cuando no tengo nada que hacer en el trabajo. También enseñan fotos y vídeos de viejas culonas pero tengo que tener cuidado porque trabajo con otra gente que puedo ver el monitor de mi computadora.
i want to put this in my sig lol it sums up this place perfectly

Medium-voltage (MV) generators are not designed to withstand full fault current during a single phase-to-ground fault, which is why they are connected to a system with either low- or high-impedance devices.
There are many methods to ground these generators. Let's discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each (relative to performance) under ground fault conditions.
Low-impedance grounded
A low-impedance grounded system consists of a connection of the generator's neutral terminal to ground through an impedance, as shown in Fig. 1(click here to see Fig. 1). The resistor typically limits ground fault current magnitudes from 100A to 800A for a short duration. The selection of the magnitude of fault current is made to minimize damage at the point of fault and provide selective coordination of the protection system.
In addition to minimizing the damage at the point of fault, low-impedance grounded systems minimize shock hazards caused by stray currents, minimize thermal and mechanical stresses on equipment, and control transient overvoltages.
As the generation capacity increases within a facility, as shown in Fig. 2(click here to see Fig. 2), the value of ground fault current also increases. For example, if four generators are connected to a common bus, the maximum ground fault current with an 800A low-resistance grounded system may be between 800A (if only one generator is online) to 3,200A (if all four generators are online). As more generators are connected, the advantages previously listed quickly diminish.
The greatest drawback of this type of system is when a ground fault occurs within the stator winding of a generator. Experience shows that the ground fault will not be removed from the generator when the generator breaker has opened. In fact, the generator will continue to supply the current through the ground fault until the generator's field excitation decays. The resulting physical damage to the generator is a function of the duration of the fault, not its magnitude. Thus, consider a different approach to maintain the advantages of the low-impedance grounded system.
Single-point grounded system
Single-point grounding ensures only one source is grounded at any given time. There are three ways this can occur. Fig. 3 (click here to see Fig. 3)shows a multiple generator-connected system in which neutral isolators ensure that only one resistor is connected to the electrical system at one time.
A disadvantage to this arrangement is complexity because of the necessity of the isolator switches. The system also requires an operation procedure for any kind of transfer.
Another disadvantage is that the system will become ungrounded if the connected grounded power source become isolated. This would put the entire system at risk because, as generators are ramped up and placed into service, they will also be ungrounded until connected to the power system.
The system shown in Fig. 4 (click here to see Fig. 4)addresses these disadvantages. In this scenario, the neutrals are connected together, and there is only one return path for any ground fault. This scenario also addresses the concern of generators going off-line.
Two major disadvantages are inherent in this kind of system: circulating third harmonic currents through the connected neutrals and the complex serviceability of a generator. With the neutrals connected together, a ground fault anywhere in the system will elevate the potential of the neutral — whether the generator is connected to the system or not. This results in a safety hazard for any personnel working on the generators.
The arrangement in Fig. 5 (click here to see Fig. 5) addresses the single-point ground by way of an artificial neutral. This method is much simpler than that shown in Fig. 3. However, the disadvantage is the ungrounded state of the generators when not connected to the electrical system.
Multiple-point grounded system
Figure 2 is an example of a multiple point grounded system. Each generating source is grounded through its own grounding resistor. There is no risk of leaving a source generator ungrounded, and there is no safety hazard when servicing a generator.
With many generators connected, the amount of ground fault current can exceed levels that will limit the damage at the point of fault. This is extremely evident if the point of fault occurs in the stator winding of the generator. Here, fault current would not be interrupted, even with the opening of the circuit breaker connecting the generator to the electrical distribution system. The result will be severe damage in the stator windings.
High-impedance grounded system
A high-impedance grounded system consists of a connection of the generator's neutral terminal to ground through an impedance, as shown in Fig. 1. In this system, the impedance is high, with the resistor typically limiting ground fault currents to a low value for an extended duration (click here to see Fig. 6). The magnitude of fault current is selected so that it is equal to or greater than the system capacitive charging current.
The advantages of the high-impedance grounded system are:
Minimal fault current at the point of fault,
Continuity of operation, and
Reduction of transient overvoltages as far as the ungrounded system is concerned.
One disadvantage of this system is the sensitivity required for the detection of a ground fault. With the ground fault current in the order of magnitude of 10A, more sensitive ground fault protection is necessary. Another disadvantage is that as the charging current increases in large distribution networks — or as more generators are placed online — it may not be feasible to have a high-impedance grounded system.
Hybrid grounding
The optimal solution is a combination of the low- and high-impedance grounded systems. This hybrid system would effectively be low resistance for all external ground faults. If, however, the fault is a ground fault within the generator, the system would revert to a high-impedance grounded system and minimize the damage.
This scenario allows all the benefits of the low-impedance grounded systems, in that all through ground faults will have selective coordination — and there is minimal damage at the point of the fault. The ground fault current would be limited to the sum of the low-impedance system and the high-impedance system. In the schematic shown in Fig. 5, the ground fault current would be 410A. If the ground fault was downstream, then the isolating device closest to the fault would isolate the ground fault.
The true benefit of this scheme is seen when a ground fault occurs in the stator winding of the generator, because the ground fault current would be limited to 410A until the differential protection isolates the generator from the supply and opens the contactor for the LRG device, thus limiting the ground fault to 10A until the generator slows to a standstill.
This system is safer for the generator because it is never left in an ungrounded state. Also, the stator windings are protected, unlike the results with a straight low-impedance grounded system.
When multiple units are placed online — and each unit is protected by the hybrid system — the tendency is to have all hybrids identical. However, this would cause extremely high ground fault current within the system, as with the low-impedance system. Thus, the benefits of the hybrid system would be lost. To compensate for this, you can reconfigure the hybrid grounded system to that shown in Fig. 7 (click here to see Fig. 7).
This schematic would result in a maximum ground fault current in the order of 400A, regardless of how many sources are connected to the system. Ground faults downstream will be isolated by the breaker closest to the fault, through selective coordination, and ground faults within the stator will be isolated by the differential scheme shown in Fig. 6, occurring only in the supply breaker for that particular generator. This will leave the generator in a high-impedance grounded state, thus minimizing the damage to the stator.
If the existing grounding system does not lend itself to the zig-zag bus grounding source (no spare breaker, no room to expand, economics, etc.) — or it is designed to operate with any generator being the sole source — you can still use the hybrid system. Here, you would operate some of the hybrid ground sources in high-resistance grounding mode only and allow only a limited number of the sources to operate in the low-resistance grounding mode. Use control logic to accommodate this flexibility.

Folks with no military experience are banding together to help support those who have made sacrifices in uniform.
Doug Bell, Jay Warfield - both of Sun City - and Dan Connelly along with co-workers from the Bluffton Bicycle Shop are gearing up for the first Bluffton Honor Ride April 21 which will actually take place at Hardeeville High School.
The ride is the Bell's idea after he experienced a week-long ride in Washington, D.C., with Ride2Recovery, an organization that provides rehabilitation opportunities for wounded veterans. He rode with his daughter, a social worker with the organization.
"After spending a week with these folks, a lot of whom are amputees, many suffer from post-traumatic stress syndrome, it was amazing to watch how much benefit they got from participating," Bell said. "Most of these people after they are wounded are isolated. They are no longer in the military with a common goal, a mission. On this ride they become part of a team again."
Bell decided he needed to conduct an Honor Ride in the Bluffton area to support the program. He got in touch with Warfield.
"We met because he did an Honor Ride with Road2Recovery as I did, only at a different time. I was looking for some sponsors and I contacted R2R to see if anyone was doing something in the Lowcountry," Warfield said. "Doug's daughter works for them and at that time no one was holding an event down here but she mentioned her Dad and put me in touch with him. He gave me a lot of help in getting my own ride together."
Warfield raised money and rode in the Road2Recovery 9/11 Challenge in New York.
"Afterwards he asked if I wanted to help him out on this one-day thing," said Warfield. "I just try to give back to help out some of the people who gave so much to this country but are now suffering because of it either through loss of limbs or post traumatic stress. I had a friend in Florida who was riding in it and that's how I got involved."
Bell then reached out to a bike expert for support.
"Doug actually came about a year ago and contacted me that he was doing an Honor Ride in Washington and he was wanting to do something around here to help support the cause," said Connelly. "Doug got the ball rolling with that and then we as a shop - we're doing a monetary donation and we'll also have some of our mechanics out there the day of the event. I've been helping him with getting some of the details out there.
"It's a really good cause and I've got some friends in the military so it's kind of close to my heart. This is to help the physical and mental aspects of those being overseas," he added. "It's a great cause that I wanted to get involved with."
When: 9 a.m. April 21
Where: Hardeeville High School, 150 Hurricane Alley
Description: Ride as many loops or as far as you want up to 50 miles. Early online registration is $15 and closing date is 11:59 p.m. PST April 16. Registration the morning of the event is $25. Injured veterans ride for free. T-shirts will be provided to participants, water and other beverages will be available for riders and free massages will be given after the ride.

"The Interview" wasn't supposed to change the way Hollywood movies are released. But perhaps the most lasting effect of the raunchy comedy could be in the way Americans go to the movies — or don't.
The farce at the center of a crippling cyberattack on Sony Pictures Entertainment unwittingly became the highest-profile example of a film debuting online at the same time it hits theaters.
Benefiting from unprecedented publicity, "The Interview" took in an eye-catching $15 million in its first four days of online sales and rentals, more than five times its box-office tally over the holiday weekend.
That makes "The Interview" one of the most...

50 years of designs from Oscar de la Renta goes on display at Bush library in Texas
DALLAS – More than 60 creations that span designer Oscar de la Renta's 50-year career are going on display in Dallas.
"Oscar de la Renta: Five Decades of Style" opens Saturday at the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum and runs through Oct. 5.
The exhibit includes gowns worn by actresses on red carpets and those worn by former first ladies including Laura Bush, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Nancy Reagan.
Laura Bush says the exhibit was de la Renta's idea. She said the designer asked if he could do a show at the library, and she was thrilled because she'd always envisioned "a show of clothes" there.
Her daughter Jenna Bush Hager's wedding dress is among the garments on display, along with the former first lady's turquoise mother-of-the bride dress.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Nov. 14, 2012) – Survive and advance.
That's the only thing on the minds of the ETSU volleyball team as the Buccaneers open up the Atlantic Sun Tournament on Thursday evening inside Lipscomb's Allen Arena. ETSU – who earned the No. 3 seed after going 20-12, 11-7 in A-Sun play – face sixth-seeded Mercer in the first quarterfinal game at 6 p.m. (Eastern).
The Bucs dropped consecutive five-set heartbreakers at North Florida and Jacksonville over the weekend, but still secured the No. 3 seed in the conference tournament. Junior Megan Devine (Kingsport, Tenn.) averaged 16 kills and 14 digs in the pair of matches, while sophomore Meredith Hardy (Kingsport, Tenn.) compiled 26 kills and 18 blocks on the weekend en route to breaking the A-Sun single-season record for blocks. Hardy moved her season total to 180 blocks, surpassing Jacksonville's Melissa Merchant's mark of 175 set in 2007. Meanwhile, Devine broke the conference record for double-doubles in A-Sun matches as the Kingsport, Tenn. native registered her 10th straight double-double – finishing with 15 in league play. In addition to Devine and Hardy, sophomore Bethany Gesell (High Point, N.C.) tallied 20 total kills on the weekend, and has generated double-digit kills in 10 of her last 12 games.
Mercer (11-17, 7-11 A-Sun) snapped a four-game losing streak by closing out the regular season with three-set wins over USC Upstate and Kennesaw State last week to earn a berth into the conference tournament. The Bears swept the Spartans last Tuesday night in Spartanburg, S.C., while defeating conference rival Kennesaw State at home Thursday night in their regular season finale. Mercer led the A-Sun in digs per set (17.9), while individually junior Emily Rochefort – a Second Team All-Atlantic Sun selection – led the conference in the statistical category after averaging 5.33 digs per set in 104 sets played. In addition, All-Freshmen Team member Molly Locke finished the season sixth in the conference in kills per set (3.3) and senior setter Monica Sanchez ranked sixth in assists per set (9.39).
ETSU and Mercer split the regular season series as both teams won on its home floor, but the Bucs lead the all-time series, 8-5. The Blue and Gold have won five of the last seven meetings, while Thursday marks the second time both schools will meet in the conference tournament. The fifth-seeded Bucs defeated fourth-seeded Mercer in five sets back in the quarterfinals of the 2008 A-Sun Tournament in Macon, Ga. Back in October, Devine and Jamie Rutledge (Kingsport, Tenn.) finished with double-doubles as ETSU went on to beat the Bears in four; however, Mercer swept the Bucs in mid-September to kick off the conference season in Georgia. In the seven sets played this year against Mercer, Devine averaged 4.71 kills and 5.00 digs, while Rutledge compiled 10.20 assists in five sets versus Mercer in 2012. As a team, ETSU out-hit the Bears .245 to .191 and out-blocked Mercer 19-9 this season.
Fans unable to make the trip to Nashville can watch all the action for free on ASun.TV, while live stats will also be available by visiting AtlanticSun.org. Twitter updates can be accessed by following @ETSUAthletics.
The winner of the ETSU/Mercer match will face No. 2 seed Lipscomb in Friday's first semifinal game at 6 p.m. (Eastern).

Indigenous Leaders boost improvements towards REDD+ implementation along with the World Bank
Indigenous leaders from Latin America and the Caribbean took part in a productive round-table along with the World Bank's Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF), recently held in Lima, Peru. The purpose was to share and analyze the indigenous peoples' concerns and proposals to improve the implementation of mechanisms for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+).
"Indigenous peoples are key stakeholders for this mechanism's implementation; we -and the government- need them. Opening a wide space for dialogue is essential to increase the potential of REDD+'s success" said Benoit Bosquet, representative of FCPF.
During the meetings, a priority was the search for a solution to critical issues identified by indigenous peoples, such as the presence of the so called "carbon pirates" as well as the implementation of the right to free, prior, and informed and consent law, the legal protection of their territories, and the need to actively incorporate them in the dialogue and making of these mechanisms.
In this regard, proposals by indigenous peoples from regions such as Mesoamerica and the Amazon were discussed. The COICA (Coordination of Amazon Indigenous Peoples Organizations) shared its Amazon Indigenous REDD+ proposal, which aims towards the implementation of REDD+ as a holistic mechanism for ecosystem conservation, and which has been developed with WWF Peru's and WWF Living Amazon Initiative's (LAI) technical support.
"We must not think of REDD+ only as a way to conserve our trees; to us, everything relies on our territories, of which we have taken good care ancestrally, and many of these are not legally protected" said Edwin Vásquez, General Coordinator of COICA.
To LAI specialist, Andre Silva Dias, this is important progress towards the inclusive construction of a REDD+ mechanism. "There is great understanding between the parties. There will be no REDD+ if there is no participation of indigenous peoples, not only due to their ancestral rights but to the knowledge they have" he said.
At the end of the event, the indigenous delegations highlighted the need to design an international protocol to orient the institutional relation between FCPF and indigenous peoples for the implementation of REDD+ through all its phases.
"There has been a productive discussion regarding how one party can collaborate with the other's objectives, and we are certain that this protocol will eventually come out as a productive working plan" concluded Silvia Dias.
Dialogues will continue on November in the framework of Doha Climate Change Conference, COP18.

The // BTL // classic mini :: keep on reading...
I'm happy to introduce the latest off-spring in my bag collection: the //BTL// classic mini. Classic, because it has my signature leather squares (one on the back and one on the front). Mini, because of its size: 30cm wide and 20 cm tall without the handles or about 40cm with the handles included.
Very minimalistic as usual, but I think it's cute and elegant. I especially love the leather - its natural tan - and how well it combines with the oatmeal colored linen. The lining is linen too, with an irregular shape polka dots print in matching colors. This little bag is just perfect for taking lunch or pic-nic wherever you go, for keeping a bottle of water, sun glasses and sun screen, cell phone, mp3-player within reach when heading to the gym or the beach. The three pockets on the inside will help keeping your stuff organized.
And you know what? This bag could become yours. To enter this give-away, just leave a comment below, before Sunday April 18th 11:59pm CEST. Make sure to leave a valid e-mail address. If I can't reach you, a new random winner will be chosen right away. The winner will be announced on Monday, April 19th.
Good luck!!
Comments are closed now. Thanks for participating! The winner will be announced on Monday, April, 19th - so, stay tuned...

Director at Hines
Mark Swetman from international real estate firm Hines, is project director for Cannon
Place, a new speculative 400,000 sq ft net office building in the City core which is due to
complete in Autumn 2011. This office is designed to meet the occupational needs of major
City occupiers with large 50,000 sq ft NLA floor plate. This project will continue with the
City of London's goal of delivering the right style of business space accommodation to
ensure London maintains its position as the No 1 international financial centre.
Mark has over 15 years of property development experience, the majority of which has been
acting as principal either at a major local REIT or as private real estate developer. Since
2000, Mark has specialised in office development in the City of London and has been involved
in over 3m sq ft of build development and over 5m sq ft of future schemes. The roles
undertaken for each scheme run from purchase, through planning and construction to leasing
and eventual sale. Each project has differing financing methods appropriate to the scheme
which also require careful management.

STOCKTON - Even after 27 years, people are still surprised to learn about the existence of the CareVan, St. Joseph's Medical Center's free daily health clinic on wheels.
STOCKTON - Even after 27 years, people are still surprised to learn about the existence of the CareVan, St. Joseph's Medical Center's free daily health clinic on wheels.
The CareVan's staff, both paid and volunteers, have helped thousands upon thousands of uninsured patients at dozens of locations throughout Stockton and San Joaquin County over the years. The working poor, the unemployed, the homeless, the undocumented seek out the CareVan for minor, urgent care needs and problems such as fevers, earaches, respiratory ailments, infections, sore throats, colds and flu.
In 2012, 3,605 patients 16 and older visited the CareVan, a 48-foot truck trailer outfitted - and recently remodeled and repainted - with two exam rooms, a waiting room, discharge area, restroom and staff break room.
Out of those total visits, 2,446 came for its free walk-in clinics. Based on a survey of those patients, 20 percent would have sought treatment at a hospital emergency department if the CareVan was not available; 66 percent would not have sought care at all.
Of the 1,159 patients who visited the CareVan for its diabetes and blood pressure screening clinics, 39 percent tested abnormal and were referred to an appropriate medical site for long-term treatment for their chronic problem.
"The walk-in clinics are nice because you just walk in, you don't have to schedule an appointment," said registered nurse Arline DelaCruz, St. Joseph's mobile health program supervisor.
DelaCruz said a physician or nurse practitioner is always available to treat patients' minor urgent needs. During some clinics, often on busy Thursdays where the CareVan is parked at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds, a representative from Community Medical Centers is present to educate community members on their eligibility for health insurance such as government-sponsored Medi-Cal.
The CareVan operates on an annual budget of roughly $500,000, funded primarily through the Dignity Health-operated medical center and its local foundation.
Retired Stockton cardiologist Dr. Mas Kamigaki volunteers his services as a provider every Thursday. He also spends one day a week at the Virgil Gianelli Medical Clinic for the homeless operated by St. Mary's Dining Room.
"Right now, we're seeing viral problems. It's episodic care, not chronic care. Not too many influenza cases, even though a lot of patients are not vaccinated. It's partly cultural, partly fear," Kamigaki said, commenting on the most common ailment he treats. He was pleased with the recent remodeling after 14 years.
"It's nicer for us. It makes the patients feel better. We want the patients to feel better. I'm sure they didn't want to come into a dumpy little van," he said, noting he's happy to help patients avoid going to an expensive hospital emergency room, often what they believe is their only alternative for urgent treatment.
Medical assistant Leticia Camacho is often the first friendly face patients will see after they climb the stairs and open the door into the CareVan. She considers the CareVan one of the greatest unknown services in the community.
"If they have a cold and are uninsured, we are here to help them," Camacho said, noting that she and most of the staff are bilingual in English and Spanish. If people speak another language, the van is equipped to contact a translation service via cellphone.
For Marsha Lea, who started using the CareVan in 2005 for her diabetes and recently visited to get checked out after a nasty fall, the services are a lifesaver.
"Insurance is too expensive, and I'm on a fixed income," Lea said. "The insurance they offered me on my job is way too expensive. They're really helpful here for the people who can't afford insurance. They're all doing a good job and I thank God for the CareVan."
St. Joseph's Collier said the CareVan's roaming schedule is determined by request.
"We like to park in places where there is foot traffic - at the fairgrounds during the flea market, at grocery stores. If we're not where people can see it, we don't get a good turnout," Collier said. "Schools and churches have requested us. We are in partnership with Community Partnership for Families. We get requests from health fairs and like to maintain our presence in the community so people get to know what we look like."
While the CareVan is generally out four days a week during daylight hours, Collier said this summer consideration is being given to offering weekend and evening clinics to better serve working people.
"We're flexible. We're always a work in progress," Collier said.
As health reform progresses and more people will have access to insurance, Collier said there remains "quite a few people who just don't understand how to use the medical system. They have little or no exposure to care. We're hoping to use the CareVan's services to provide a lot of education to the community also."

Most people that are into body modifications started with getting their ears pierced. Ear piercings are the oldest, most common, less extreme and more accepted of all body modifications. Piercing the ears can be found in all different kinds of cultures all over the world throughout history. Both men and women have been known to pierce their ears. Depending on the size and shape of one's ear, there are many different parts of the ear that can be pierced.
When your Ear is your Piercing Ground:
The ear lobe is the easiest, most common part of the ear that is pierced. This part of the ear can be stretched and gauged because of the type of tissue located in this area. A piercing gun is used to pierce the ear lobe. The ear piercing gun is designed in … read more

The one-year deal is done for Cole Hamels. The $15 million he'll be paid in 2012 represents a $5.5 million raise over what he received last season and is the same exact amount the Phillies will pay second baseman Chase Utley for the third straight season.
In other words, the 28-year-old lefty is being nicely compensated as the youngest ace in the Phillies' dream rotation.
A more challenging contract negotation for Hamels and the Phillies lies ahead.
After negotiating the one-year deal with Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. Tuesday, Hamels' agent John Boggs said that he will likely be in Clearwater at some point during spring training in an effort to negotiate a long-term deal for his client who can become a free agent after the 2012 season.
"Ruben wanted to proceed in this fashion, and then discuss a multi-year deal later," Boggs said. "I anticipate discussing a long-term deal for Cole as we get into spring training."
Amaro said talks with Hamels "probably" will take place in spring training and confirmed that he wanted to first negotiate a one-year deal for the lefthander.
"We thought it was the right thing to do for us," Amaro said. "It allowed us to establish the one-year value for Cole and I think we did that in an amicable and equitable way. Hopefully we can figure something out long term at the appropriate time."
There is no guarantee, of course, that the two sides will be able to complete such a deal. It's fair to assume, however, that any long-term deal for Hamels will at the very least be worth $20 million per year and cover at least five years. Roy Halladay is making $20 million a year on a deal that will likely cover four years and Cliff Lee's deal averages $24 million over five years.
"I'm always optimistic, but when you get into the real specifics and minutae of a deal, there are usually road blocks going forward," Boggs said. "I think Cole wants to be treated fairly and compensated for where he is at in his career. I've always respected Ruben and hopefully we can try to accomplish that long-term deal. I can't predict what will happen in the end, but hopefully the value they put on Cole is what we feel is appropriate."
Boggs said the Halladay and Lee deals are both fair comparables for Hamels.
"I think the one thing everyone can agree on is that Cole is an elite pitcher," Boggs said. "We'll look at what elite pitchers have received in the past and hopefully he'll get what we think he is worth."
Amaro said the Phillies will continue to negotitate with right fielder Hunter Pence in an effort to avoid a salary arbitration hearing next month. The two sides were required to submit salary numbers with the league office at the 1 p.m. deadline Tuesday. Those numbers were not immediately available.
