IBM's machine-learning crystal ball can foresee renewable energy availability
By predicting the weather, the technology can then forecast how much energy will be generated by solar- and wind-powered sources.
This week in renewable energy news, U.S. states continue to expand focus on wind energy and solar energy, and Amazon announces its biggest renewable energy project toward its goal of achieving 100 percent renewable energy usage.
By predicting the weather, the technology can then forecast how much energy will be generated by solar- and wind-powered sources.
Amazon Web Services has announced its largest renewable energy project to date, a 208 MW wind farm that will supply current and future Amazon cloud data centers. AWS announced in November that it intends to achieve 100 percent renewable energy usage for its global infrastructure, and in April 2015 AWS announced that approximately 25 percent of the power consumed by its global infrastructure was already being generated from renewable energy sources, and that it intends to increase that figure to 40 percent by the end of 2016.
The Galapagos islands are now believed to host the only airport in the world working exclusively on wind and solar energy.
The city of Bloomington, Illinois is amending its municipal electricity aggregation contract to include a 100 percent renewable energy target.
Alabama Power petitioned the Alabama Public Service Commission last month for permission to install up to 500 megawatts of renewable energy projects, including solar power. The company is seeking a way to provide renewable energy for corporate customers who desire it in their energy portfolio or have renewable energy mandates to meet.
These days, it's rare to see rooftop solar installers and investor-owned utilities aligned on state policy issues. But in California, the two industry groups are both lobbying for behind-the-meter solar to count toward the state's expanded renewable portfolio standard.
Each month renewable energy program participants make donations on their electric bills to support grants awarded for renewable energy projects in Naperville and across Illinois. When the program does not receive grant applications for city projects, Naperville's Department of Public Utilities-Electric buys credits for wind and solar energy within Illinois instead. Approximately 71 percent of the participants are paying an extra $5 a month on their electric bill to go toward the renewable energy grants. The remaining 29 percent of participants are paying $10 or more.

Cliff Carnicom: Geoengineering and Climate Change Model 1
by Cliff Carnicom
This is a model to estimate climate change from applying changes in greenhouse gas concentrations relative to the current rates of increase. It also provides for introducing various aerosols and into the atmosphere. It also includes the simulation of random events upon climate change. It will also estimate mortality impacts upon the population. The model is based upon several factors, such as a differential analysis of the specific heat of a mixture of gases, the specific heats and albedos of various aerosols, and mortality projections.

raw fettucine with cashew alfredo
Inspired by the Vegie Bars raw menu I have started experimenting at home. I had a raw uncookbook about 8 years ago, put it in storage when I went overseas and it never surfaced again (seriously where did it go?). I also had a dehydrator for 3 years but used it twice and sold it. So the interest has been there, but much like veganism in the beginning it just seemed too hard.
This recipe is ridiculously easy, though I have to admit I don't know what I'm doing wrong because all of the vegan alfredo recipes I've made I've found them too thin. So I subtracted 1/2 a cup of water from the recipe if you find it too thick you can always add more. This recipe has been adapted from The Rawtarian.
ingredients - serves 3-4 people
2 cups soaked cashews (soaked for 20 minutes)
1/2 cup pine nuts (or just use more cashews if you don't have pine nuts)
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cups water
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 tbsp miso*
1 tbsp nooch
4 medium zucchinis
1/2 cup of packet, washed, spinach leaves
5 large basil leaves, shredded (I roll really tighter and snip with a pair of scissors)
1. Whizz the cashews, pine nuts, lemon juice, garlic, water, salt, miso and nooch in a food processor until smooth. Add another handful of raw cashews if its too thin for your tastes.
2. To make the zucchini 'noodles' peel the skin and slice the whole zucchini thinly on a mandolin or use a vegetable peeler. If you use a vegie peeler, peel down to the seed core - don't use.
3. Toss the noodles, spinach and basil in a 1/4 cup of sauce, adding more if you need it.
note: omit miso paste to make meal soy free. This made A TONNE of sauce which I later used for a mac'n'cheese bake, you might want to halve the recipe if you only intend on making one meal out of it.

man oh man, this looks delicious! It made my tummy rumble. I too have lost many things in moving and packing - it's so weird the way that happens!ReplyDelete
i made a version of this tonight and it was delicious! i didn't have all the ingredients so i used mixed nuts instead of pine nuts, garlic/onion powder instead of nutritional yeast, and soy instead of miso. i also used about 27389 times the amount of basil! anyway, thanks. very tasty.ReplyDelete

Defensive end Willie Young said he regrets his penalty for taunting Tom Brady in Detroit's 40-9 preseason win over the New England Patriots on Thursday night.
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) ? Defensive end Willie Young said he regrets his penalty for taunting Tom Brady in Detroit's 40-9 preseason win over the New England Patriots on Thursday night.
After hurrying Brady into an incompletion in the New England end zone, Young grabbed Brady by the collar and put his finger in the quarterback's face.
Instead of facing third-and-10 deep in their own territory, the Patriots got a first down.
"I just can't do things to hurt the team and I know that," Young said after Saturday's practice.
The penalty happened late in the second quarter and Detroit coach Jim Schwartz benched Young for the remainder of the game after the play.
"There is no explanation (for Young's actions) that would serve any purpose in this case," Schwartz said.
Young wouldn't say what he said to Brady.
"What happened between the lines stays between the lines," Young said. " . Tom Brady, I have much respect for him. Ask Tom Brady what I said."
Young wouldn't discuss the matter any further.
"I'm moving on to Buffalo," he said, in reference to the Lions' final preseason game on the road against the Bills on Thursday.
The Lions have gotten a reputation for taking costly, undisciplined penalties over the past two seasons and it has continued so far in the first three preseason games.
Two of Young's fellow defensive linemen, Nick Fairley and C.J. Also took penalties after the whistle earlier in the win over New England.
"We're trying to avoid penalties as much as we can," Schwartz said. "I'm not going to bench a guy for grabbing somebody's face mask or something."
Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson, who was a last-minute scratch for the win over the Patriots because of a bruised knee, was on the field for Saturday's practice but did not participate in drills.
Johnson referred all questions about his injury to Schwartz, who said "I'm not going to comment on anybody's physical condition."
Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was also on the field, but didn't practice.
Running back Montell Owens also didn't practice. He suffered a knee injury against New England.
Other starters not practicing were safety Louis Delmas, who returned from a knee injury in Thursday night's game by playing two series, linebacker Ashlee Palmer, defensive lineman Jason Jones (knee), cornerback Chris Houston and rookie punter Sam Martin.
Reserves who didn't practice were tight ends Michael Williams, Matt Veldman (Achilles tendon) and Joseph Fauria and safety John Wendling.
But safety Grover Quin, who left Thursday's game in the first half due to a hip injury, did practice on Saturday.

High yield and convertible bonds are some of the key opportunities for the Allianz Income and Growth – I (H2 – EUR) – EUR strategy this year, says Allianz Global Investors.
The fund managed by + rated Doug Forsyth, fetched $6.78 billion in net flows during 17 February 2017 to 18 January 2018, data from Citywire Discovery showed.
It invests hugely in the US and Canadian corporate debt and equities. The assets are split between equities or equities securities (33.5%), convertible bonds (33.3%) and high-yield bonds (33.2%).
In an interview with Citywire Asia, a company spokesperson said that under a rising rate environment, high-yield bonds tend to hold up better than other types of bonds, particularly when compared to Treasuries and investment grade credits.
'Given its reduced sensitivity to interest rates, high-yield bonds can provide good diversification and compelling risk or reward balance in a portfolio.'
Similarly, convertible bonds track equities more closely and have a low correlation to interest rates historically, while performing well during rising rate periods.
This year the US economy is expected to expand at a moderate pace due to favourable economic environment.
Allianz said the impact of tax cuts, progress toward an infrastructure spending bill and continued deregulation efforts could result in even stronger US growth.
'US monetary policy continues to be modestly accommodative with the Fed and designated new chair Jerome Powell expected to take a gradual approach toward policy adjustments.'
Moreover, the additional interest rate hikes and balance sheet reduction efforts would signal confidence in the US economy's ability to grow.
'Over 2017, we managed to expand our distribution footprint across different channels, from retail banks to private banks and the insurance segment. We are also seeing strong flows from HNWIs in Asia, particularly from Hong Kong and Taiwan,' it added.

What to Buy for the Dad Who Has Everything
What is there to buy for the dad who has everything? He's got it all-from a cappuccino maker with a radio built in to a helicopter alarm clock that takes flight when the alarm sounds. Not everyone has a father like that, but for those of us who do, don't fear! There are always options to buy for that dad who has everything he could ever want or need (and more).
- Start somewhere close to the heart. Does he like to Golf? Watch T.V.? Maybe he loves gourmet pretzels, or used to collect comic books? Take what he enjoys the most, and probably doesn't receive very often, and go with it.
- Take a moment to think about what he likes most. If your father is more inclined to sitting at home and watching television or reading books, take a look a around at thrift store or second hand shops for a variety of VHS, cassette tapes, novels, and records. You may very well discover an old favorite hiding out in between the children's movies and the jazz music, giving you that opportunity to buy Dad something he doesn't have. Another option is browsing the excessive amounts of home goods. Chances are high you'll find a small nicknack or trinket that he doesn't already own, in there somewhere that will remind him of his past, encourage him to look into the future, or help him to remember the present. There's always something to buy for the dad who has it all.
- Give him an experience he'll never forget. For the dad who has everything and loves to eat, take him to a restaurant that is hosting a 'food challenge', and you can both partake of the ridiculous portions or incredibly spicy entree. Whether or not you both fail miserably or beat the challenge (against all odds), chances are he won't soon forget it. By the time he's reached the third bite, he won't be thinking at all about that crazy flying alarm clock he's got waiting at home to wake him up in the morning.

My purpose in writing this posting, is to convince you to use a custom white balance. If you are using jpeg files from your camera, it is the only way to ensure you get correct color rendering. Some time ago I gave a white balance card to a friend and taught him how to use it with his digicam. A few months later I heard from his daughter about how much his photos have improved since he started using the "thingy" that I gave him. Why is that and why couldn't the camera just get it right? Read on to find out.
What is a Custom White Balance?
A custom white balance calibrates the camera's color rendering to the actual light being used. This works regardless of the light's temperature and it works reliably. For most cameras, you take a picture of a known white or near white surface and then program the camera to calibrate its color rendering to that white.
Why a Custom White Balance?
The short answer is because digital camera auto white balance is very unreliable. Take a look at the above images. All of these were taken under the same incandescent lighting, but using different white balance settings as indicated. The one on the bottom closely matches the actual magazine.
Why not use Auto White Balance?
Auto white balance may seem a simple function, yet few if any cameras get it right much of the time.
Take a look at the photo above. It was taken with incandescent light and the camera was set for auto white balance. This magazine cover has a good B&W print that should have been sufficient for the camera to get a decent color balance. However, as is the case for many cameras (especially Canon DSLRs), the auto white balance fell far short of the mark.
The lower photo shows the camera's display, including the RGB and luminance histograms. Notice how red dominates. The camera has chosen a color temperature that is not even close to incandescent.
Auto white balance attempts to figure out the color temperature of the light being used by searching out the brightest thing in the image. It assumes that this is a white surface and so does a color balance based on that. It sounds good on paper, but in practical use it leaves much to be desired.
The problem lies with not always having a true white reference. What if there is nothing white or even close to white in the scene? In this case the camera makes a best guess at what might be close to white and calibrates to that. In reality it does not usually get it right and sometimes it doesn't even come close. There is also the effect of color shift. Under incandescent light, something with a blueish hue might appear as white to the camera, in which case it will make a bad assumption about color. In the case above I cannot imagine what went wrong, but it certainly is not right.
Why not use Presets?
Presets for daylight and incandescent usually get you close, but quite often, not often not close enough, and sometimes they are just plain wrong. The image above was taken with the incandescent preset. The improvement in color compared to auto white balance is obvious. However, it still has a reddish hue that is not found in the real life subject. The RGB histograms from the camera show the improvement, but also show the lack of proper white balance. Because the magazine cover is essentially black and white, all three histograms should look the same.
If without a way or time to calibrate and under known lighting, I would use a preset rather than trusting auto. However, what if I'm in a room that is lit with Reveal incandescent bulbs? From part 4 of this series we know that the Reveal incandescent bulb will produce a light that has more blue than a standard incandescent bulb. If my camera is set to incandescent white balance, then I will get a blue cast in my images.
Fluorescent bulbs are even more problematic, as they have much variability from based on the manufacturer and type. They also shift color with use. Some cameras have two or more fluorescent settings, but that cannot possibly cover all of the variations one might encounter in the real world. Even if there were a preset, how would you know which one to use? When possible (as it usually is), it is always better to get a custom white balance. Daylight varies by time of day and atmospheric conditions.
What About Using a Custom White Balance?
Glad you asked because if you are going to let the camera generate jpeg files for you, this is the best way to go.
The photo above was taken after performing a custom white balance. As you can see, the image correctly depicts the black & white photograph on the cover of the magazine. A look at the RGB histograms in the next photo down confirms an excellent white balance. The simple step of performing a custom white balance has produced a near perfect rendering of the subject, enough said.
Coming Next
In the next posting I will demonstrate how to set an in-camera custom white balance using a Canon 450D. This tutorial should make a good primer even for non-Canon users, so until then...

Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election is coming under growing attack from those most blinded by partisanship and — in the case of the White House — self-interest. Their motivations do not automatically render them wrong. A dispassionate review of the facts, however, does.
Their assaults fall into three main categories. The first two are easily rebuffed. The third lands a punch — but not the knockout blow they seek.Discrediting Mueller: When President George W. Bush nominated Mueller, a fellow Republican, to lead the FBI in 2001, the Senate confirmed him by a unanimous vote. When President Barack Obama gave him a two-year extension, Senate support was again unanimous. Few people in Washington serving at the highest level of government can equal Mueller's reputation for integrity and independence. Discrediting Mueller's work: Critics also charge that Mueller's team is on a fishing expedition that has found no evidence the Trump campaign colluded with Russia — and thus should be shut down. They often cite the indictment of Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, whose charges concern not his campaign activities but his work for a pro-Russian government in Ukraine. But Mueller's mandate is to investigate not only Russian interference in the campaign, but also "any matters that arose or may arise" from the investigation. Manafort's actions certainly qualify. It's reasonable to expect Mueller to conclude the investigation in a timely fashion. But Congress cannot permit the White House to short-circuit his work. Discrediting Mueller's investigators: Mueller has assembled a team of top-notch investigators and lawyers with extensive experience on complicated, high-profile cases. Unfortunately, what's known about the team's political ties seems mostly to run in one direction. Some have made campaign contributions over the years, with a few giving to Hillary Clinton. One represented a Clinton aide who helped set up the infamous private email server. Then there are the private communications, such as the anti-Trump text messages two investigators sent during the 2016 election.
Critics have seized on all this to conclude that the fix is in.
That goes too far. Lawyers routinely leave partisan attachments aside when prosecuting cases. One member of the team, for instance, donated to Obama and also won a conviction in a corruption case against a leading Democratic politician in New York.
Still, Mueller erred in not sufficiently considering team members' political activities — knowing that public confidence in their objectivity and nonpartisanship would be critical to its credibility.
In such a high-stakes environment, it would be nearly impossible for any investigative team to avoid accusations of bias — though the unprecedented broadsides by Trump against the FBI will hurt its ability to retain and attract top-quality people, at no small cost to the administration of justice.
Where Mueller's investigation will lead is anyone's guess. But he and his team must be allowed to complete their work without being swallowed by the partisan plague infecting the land.

Life is hard in the 50 states. Governments are broke, and the people are broker (is that a word? It should be). But Texas cops have come up with the worst way to balance the budget you'll read about all week.
They're charging kids as young as 6 with fine-carrying offenses, just so they can collect revenue. According to Texas Appleseed, a "nonprofit research and advocacy group focusing on social and economic justice," kids are being handed tickets for crimes like "classroom disruption," then forced to pay fines of as much as $500 for the in-school offense. The courts, naturally, get to keep all the money.
Talk about cruel and unusual punishment! At 6 years old, kids are still learning right from wrong. At this age, classroom disruptions like a kid jumping up to yell, "I hafta pee Mrs. Jones!" happen every day! It's a parent's job to give kids a good base, but we send them to school in hopes that they'll get a social education too, that they'll learn how to fit in and not cause disruptions. A little kid needs the principal and teacher to discipline them; they don't need cops involved terrifying them and criminal charges that may or may not show up on some permanent record down the road.
What's more, a ticket that costs money doesn't affect a 6-year-old or a 10-year-old in the long run. It affects the parents, who now have to take their kid back and forth to court and somehow cough up the money. In-school punishments meted out directly to a student for an infraction make more sense for a child because they feel them directly. They can connect cause and effect much more vividly when it's a direct punishment to them rather than to their parents.
Now consider why kids act out in classrooms. Isn't it often because they aren't getting enough time with their parents at home or enough attention? And now the cops want to make their parents spend more time out of the home working to make money just to balance their budgets. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Do cops belong in the schools handing out tickets to little kids?

As site consultants in a wide range of market sectors, with intimate experience in facility design, construction of new facilities, and brownfield development, TranSystems brings unparalleled expertise in providing due diligence services and site selection analysis. Our experienced evaluators, all at the principal level, leave no stone unturned in researching and breaking down the essential information you need to make executive decisions about current assets and/or future investments based on logistical dynamics.
TranSystems Building Due Diligence services, include: phase I environmental assessment, phase II environmental report, site analysis, energy evaluation, transportation cost analysis, work force comparison, land use and permitting, surveying, right-of-way, cost estimating and master planning.
In performing due diligence, our experts have contributed to identifying prospects for industrial developers who are casting a wide net for transportation-related development opportunities across the United States. At the other end of the spectrum, we have assisted numerous transportation clients on targeted projects, for example, evaluating seven sites in two cities for US Holland with the specific goal of replacing two of their outgrown service center facilities. TranSystems expertise in site selection is differentiated from others in that we can also evaluate the constructability of the site, meaning which site will be less expensive to build upon than the next.
Avoiding a negative-return investment is just as important, if not more so, than making the best choice from available alternatives. For Con-Way Freight, TranSystems' due diligence efforts uncovered entrance geometry and Interstate access problems at a proposed site, in addition to environmental contamination from an adjacent diesel fuel tank. TranSystems recommended an alternate, adjacent 33-acre parcel without environmental problems on which the replacement service center was ultimately constructed, avoiding expensive mitigation mandates.

Tutoring isn't a new thing. It has been around for a long time. Technological innovations have led to the emergence of online tutoring all over the world. Various centers are now operating as recognized venues for tutoring. When seeking help from a tutor, it is prudent to appreciate the fact that the tutor is an expert and you are a student. Therefore, the primary goal of the teacher is to help you become better in a particular area.
Once you appreciate this simple fact, you will learn to concentrate and get the most out of the tutoring process. Enrolling for tutoring New York with dickerreading.com is a great way of getting personalized learning support when you need it most. You avoid all the hassle of arranging appointments and traveling far away to meet your tutor.
If you are already enrolled for tutoring, or you are thinking about it, stick to the following tips that will help you get the most out of the tutoring.
Always Be Prepared and Ready to Learn
When working with a tutor, always be open to the experience. One thing that will determine how much you gain from the tutoring will be your willingness to learn. If you aren't open to the experience, you risk walking out without having gained anything.
Make sure that you have all the assignments and questions ready before the tutoring session and above all, have a learning mindset. Make an effort of trying all the tasks given to you by your tutor since they aren't there to complete them on your behalf.
Know the due dates for the assignments and make an effort of completing them on time to avoid confrontations. You should only bring to the tutor what you are unable to do.
Take Charge of the Tutoring and Remain Active
Tutoring should not be tutor-centered but rather learner-centered. As such, make sure that you remain active during the whole tutoring session. Ask any queries that you may be having, and even email others to the tutor before the start of the session. By doing so, you allow the tutor to prepare better and provide you with the best help ever. Do not feel ashamed to email them follow-up questions after the session either.
Don't Get Frustrated
Sometimes you will not understand anything, and you may feel frustrated. Do not allow emotions to take over, dyslexia tutoring new york but instead learn to ask for clarification and further explanation. Getting frustrated will not help anybody, and sometimes your tutor may even fail to understand your frustrations.
The best thing to do in such a scenario is to let the tutor know that you have not understood anything and there is a need for him/her to explain things differently to assist you in understanding.

The Red Heifer
by Wayne Blank
The Red Heifer
"Now The Lord said to Moses and to Aaron:
"This is the statute of the law which The Lord has commanded: Tell the people of Israel to bring you a red heifer without defect, in which there is no blemish, and upon which a yoke has never come. And you shall give her to Eleazar the priest [see Levites], and she shall be taken outside the camp and slaughtered before him; and Eleazar the priest shall take some of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle some of her blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times. And the heifer shall be burned in his sight; her skin, her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall be burned; and the priest shall take cedarwood and hyssop and scarlet stuff, and cast them into the midst of the burning of the heifer."
"Then the priest shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterwards he shall come into the camp; and the priest shall be unclean until evening. He who burns the heifer shall wash his clothes in water and bathe his body in water, and shall be unclean until evening."
"And a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place; and they shall be kept for the congregation of the people of Israel for the water for impurity, for the removal of sin. And he who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening. And this shall be to the people of Israel, and to the stranger who sojourns among them, a perpetual statute." (Numbers 19:1-10 RSV)
The New Testament Perspective Of The Red Heifer
"But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come [see Type and Antitype], then through the greater and more perfect tent, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, He entered once for all into the Holy Place, taking not the blood of goats and calves but His own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.
"For if the sprinkling of defiled persons with the blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a heifer sanctifies for the purification of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, Who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify your conscience from dead works [see Works] to serve the living God."
"Therefore He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred which redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant."
"For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. Hence even the first covenant was not ratified without blood. For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded you." And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship. Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins."
"Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ has entered, not into a sanctuary made with hands, a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer Himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the Holy Place yearly with blood not his own; for then He would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, He has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time [see The Return Of Jesus Christ], not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for Him." (Hebrews 9:11-28 RSV)
A Modern-Day Return Of The Red Heifer?
Right now, there are a number of Jewish groups (some with support from Christian groups) who are actively preparing for the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple (see Temples) in Jerusalem. These preparations include efforts, in Israel and Texas, among other places, to breed a perfect red heifer for use in the Temple service.
Fact Finder: Will there be a Jewish "Holy Place" in Jerusalem at the time of the Return of Jesus Christ?

text: Minneapolis seems to have a terror connection. As the article points out the Twin Cities are very diverse in population. Minneapolis and suburbs also have a significant Jewish population, I wonder if there's a reason for the proximity? There are links at the site, within the article: http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/007012.php June 26, 2004 Al Qaeda in Minneapolis This morning's Star Tribune reports that "Area man charged in terror case." Because the Star Tribune makes the story inaccessbile after 14 days, I'm pasting in the story by Star Tribune reporters David Chanen and Greg Gordon below: A Lebanese national who allegedly told Minneapolis FBI agents he trained with Al-Qaida and knew three of its leaders, including one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq, has been charged in connection with an international terrorism inquiry. On Friday, a federal judge in New York ordered the suspect, Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi, who has lived in Minneapolis, transported to Minnesota without bail on charges of lying to federal agents. During a series of voluntary interviews in April, Elzahabi told Minneapolis FBI agents that while in Afghanistan in the late 1980s and 1990s, he knew Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, the Al-Qaida figure now suspected of engineering several deadly kidnappings in Iraq; Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, and Abu Zubaida, a top Al-Qaida leader. Elzahabi is charged with lying in denying that he sent walkie-talkies to Pakistan and that he helped get a Massachusetts driver's license for a man later convicted of plotting to bomb American and Israeli tourists in Jordan. Minnesota U.S. Attorney Tom Heffelfinger wouldn't say if Elzahabi's actions are alleged to have contributed to any terrorist activities, but said the 10-page complaint "speaks for itself." Attorney Paul Engh, who is representing Elzahabi, said he will be "vigorously defended." Elzahabi came to Minneapolis in August 2001 after fighting in the war in Chechnya. He is the latest of at least six men with ties to Minnesota who have been arrested or charged in Al-Qaida cases since the Sept. 11 attacks. According to court documents, Elzahabi told agents that he associated with Al-Zarqawi, who U.S. officials said has masterminded the beheadings of Nicholas Berg and Kim Sun-il, a South Korean hostage. Elzahabi, who appears to be in his early 40s, was living in Minneapolis at the time of the FBI interviews, but it isn't clear if he had lived in the city the whole time since he arrived in 2001. Heffelfinger said Elzahabi was arrested in New York and will appear in a Minnesota court within two weeks. He moved to Minneapolis in the same month that federal agents arrested suspected Al-Qaida operative Zacarias Moussaoui, who was arrested while taking lessons at an Eagan flight school. Moussaoui now faces capital conspiracy charges in connection with Al-Qaida's suicide hijacking plot. Heffelfinger wouldn't comment on whether Elzahabi's case had any connection to Moussaoui. Buying a marriage During the interviews with FBI agents, Elzahabi described himself as a Lebanese national who entered the United States in 1984 on a student visa and paid a Houston woman to marry him so he could be a permanent resident alien; they divorced in 1988 after he got his green card. The U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained him and began deportation proceedings, the affidavit said. On June 9, Elzahabi was transferred to New York, where the FBI's counter-terrorism prosecution and interrogation operations have been centered, said Eric Sears, a New York attorney appointed Thursday to represent him there. According to the affidavit, Elzahabi told authorities: He first decided to travel to Afghanistan in 1988 after attending a religious conference in the Midwest, entering the country through Pakistan. He attended a jihad military training camp and fought in Afghanistan in 1988 and 1989, a period during which he knew Al-Zarqawi; Raed Hijazi, who later was convicted in Jordan for his part in a millennium bombing plot targeting American and Israeli tourists, and Bassam Kanj, who was killed by Lebanese troops in 2000 while leading a coup attempt aimed at installing a fundamentalist Islamic government. In 1991, as Osama bin Laden was organizing Al-Qaida, Elzahabi returned to Afghanistan and stayed for about four years, training at the Khalden camp. He admitted that he "acted as a sniper in combat during this time" and that he served as a small arms and sniper instructor for other jihadists. In 1995, he returned to the United States for medical care after he was shot in the abdomen during combat. He set up an axle repair business with a relative in New York City. In 1997, he moved to Boston where he stayed for two years, working as a cabdriver and again associating with Hijazi and Kanj. In 1998, after leaving the United States, he got a call from Zubaida at the Khalden camp, seeking his help. Elzahabi said he declined to help. He went home to Lebanon, where he helped provide small arms training to the group of fighters that Kanj formed to overthrow the Lebanese government. He said he then decided to travel to Chechnya to join jihadists fighting the Russians. Elzahabi said he reentered the United States in mid-August 2001 and came to Minneapolis. He had been living in a house near the University of Minnesota that is also home to a mosque. Kathy Buckheit, Elzahabi's ex-wife, said Friday evening that the FBI had contacted her about him about two months ago. She said she asked if the questions were related to terrorism, but the agents wouldn't say. Charged with lying The two counts of making false statements to federal agents revolve around Elzahabi's activities in the United States. He is alleged to have lied in stating that he allowed a man from Afghanistan to use his New York business address to receive shipments, but never knew what the shipments contained. The FBI said it turned up evidence showing that Elzahabi knew the shipments contained walkie-talkies and other electronics worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. "Field radios of the same make and model ... have been recovered in Afghanistan by U.S. military forces during military actions following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001," the affidavit said. The second count charges that he denied helping Hijazi obtain a driver's license, although the FBI said it learned that Elzahabi drove him to the examination and that the license was mailed to Elzahabi's address. Michael Greenberger, director of the Center for Health and Homeland Security at the University of Maryland School of Law, said he wasn't familiar with Elzahabi's case but said he suspects the government is going after the easiest charge to prove. "They may feel they want to put this guy away as fast as they possibly can and this is a surefire way of doing it," Greenberger said. Prosecutors might then ask for his cooperation in other cases or take their time to build more of a case against him, Greenberger said. By comparison, terrorism suspect Mohammed Abdullah Warsame, also detained in Minnesota, is accused of training at two Al-Qaida training camps in Afghanistan and then wiring money to a bank account in Pakistan for Al-Qaida associates. He was charged in January with conspiracy to provide material support to Al-Qaida. HINDROCKET adds: As abbreviated as it is, this account raises some obvious questions. The Strib reports that "The U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained [Elzahabi] and began deportation proceedings," apparently in 1988. Elzahabi then left the country, engaged in various terrorist activities for seven years, and "returned to the United States for medical care" after getting shot in 1995, apparently without anyone noticing that he was supposed to have been deported. He then left the country again, and "reentered the United States in mid-August 2001" after participating in terrorist activities in Lebanon and Chechnya, again, apparently, without encountering any immigration problems. Great border control. ONE MORE THING: Who do you suppose paid for his medical care when he returned to the US after getting shot in Afghanistan?

The absence of Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter will be felt on many different way this spring. On the field, we'll miss his tenacity on the mound. The way he intimidated hitters into fearing the next pitch and the he dominated when he had to, acting as the classic "stopper" if a losing streak needed squelching.

What media player should I use?
Folkstreams films are streamed using the Real Video format. Excerpts of films are provided in Quicktime format to provide an opportunity for visitors to view a high quality stream even if they have a low bandwidth connection. Folkstreams only supports the Real and Quicktime players.
I have cable/DSL broadband but video is poor quality.
If you move from dialup to broadband and your streaming image quality does not improve, you may have neglected to tell Real Player about your new bandwidth. Like most Real Player users, I assumed that with modern adaptive streaming technology (Sure Stream), the player would adapt automatically to my faster connection. However, this is currently (Real Player 6.0) not the case.
Although Real Player will attempt to negotiate a higher bandwidth stream, it appears that it retains the "decoder" best suited to 56K dialup bandwidth resulting in poor image quality. The image quality is about the same at broadband speeds as it is with 56K dialup. This is why it is important to update your Realy Player "Connection" setting to the correct bandwidth when changing connections.
When there is a mismatch between the bandwidth available and the connection setting, you will notice slowing, jerkiness, blockiness, blurriness and motion breakup in the video. Restarting the stream after making changes to the Connection settings in Real Player will result in a crystal clear broadband image.
To be sure your Real Player is correctly configured after moving from dialup to broadband (or when increasing bandwidth, such as moving from a lower speed service to a higher speed service):
1. Go to the toolbar in Real Player. Select the Tools menu.
2. Select Preferences from the menu.
3. Locate the Connection entry in the preferences. Select it.
4. The Bandwidth section contains settings for Normal bandwidth and Maximum bandwidth.
5. Open the pull down menu, select the setting that most closely matches your new broadband connection. Be sure to check with your provider to know what speed your connection is. Many High Speed Internet cable providers are at 1.5Mbps and moving rapidly to 3Mbps connections, so you would want to select DSL/Cable (400 Kbps and above) at minimum if you have such a connection.
The Connection setting in Real Player can easily be misread. It has two settings, which look at first like minimum and maximum bandwidth. But in reality, one is the "normal" bandwidth and the other maximum. "Normal" is actually the desired bandwidth.
(Please note the instructions are for RealPlayer 6.0, you may have to look somewhere else in your settings.)
How do I make screenshots or capture screen images?
To make a screenshot on the PC using Windows. hit the Print Screen key. If you have trouble making a screenshot, see the instructions below.
RealOne Player:
1. In RealOne Player, click the Tools menu and choose Preferences.
2. In the Category panel, click Hardware.
3. On the Hardware panel, click to clear the Use Optimized Video box.
4. Click OK.
5. Exit and then restart RealOne Player.
Now hit Alt and Print Screen to take the screen shot.
How do I test my broadband connection speed?
There are several websites where you can test the speed of a broadband connection. Some charge a fee, but TestMy.net currently offers a free test. Choose the Download test to find out how fast your connection is for streaming from our site.

Whither The EPO Case Of China's Li?
Dec 17, 2012 - Craig Lord
The question of China's missing EPO positive test result looms as large as Christmas, the questions simple: why has there been no official ban on a swimmer who tested positive in March and made headlines when Chinada, the national anti-doping agency, reported a positive test for a teenage national team member; what were the details of the case and what action has China taken; what action has FINA taken?
he case of Li Zhesi has yet to make it on to FINA's doping case file. The staff of the international federation are in transit today as they make their way home from a busy week at the world short-course championships but when we have an answer on Li we will place it on this file.
The international federation must by now have pressed the Chinese Swimming Association and asked them to explain and file the details of the following case:
Six weeks before London 2012, the news was big in China and beyond, the line reaching international agencies and other media clear: Li Zhesi, world champion in a relay for China in 2009 at 14, a year after she raced at a home Olympic Games aged just 13, has tested positive for erythropoeitin (EPO), the blood-booster.
The case was announced by the China Anti-Doping Agency (Chinada), which cited "an out-of-competition test carried out on March 31". No suspension details accompanied the news but Li, a member of the China team for the past four years, did not race beyond the moment that her test result was reported far and wide. She simply stopped being a part of the China team and did not make it to London 2012.
Shang Xiutang, vice president of China Swimming Association, said at the time: "We've received the report of her doping test. And we will help the China Anti-Doping Agency do further investigation. But Li for sure will not take part in the Olympic Games. Whether she can compete in the National Games next year will depend on the final result of the investigation."
"The drug was found both in the A and B samples," Chinada announced. A two-year suspension would be the minimum requirement under the WADA Code.
The story appeared too on this link at Xinhua - http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/china/2012-06/10/c_131642593.htm - which appeared "temporarily unavailable" for a while but can now be accessed here. Sina, the agency, also reported the case.
Li led the China 4x100m freestyle at the Shanghai world championships in a 54.35, a time that would have left her second best Chinese in 2012 after the London Games.

- Anodyne pad emitting infrared light to nerves for neuropathy
REMEMBER-This is what works for me.
Anodyne therapy was designed and marketed by Dale Bertwell and his brother George for injured horses, and was initially used on Kentucky Derby racehorses. Although treatment proved successful, injured racehorses retreated to a retirement facility where they continued Anodyne therapy. Later, the device was introduced to physicians of neuropathic medicine, and approved by FDA in 1994 to treat chronic pain in humans. Today, only a few medical facilities use Anodyne therapy to boost circulation to area of body where there is peripheral nerve pain, stiffness, spasm, and acute pain.
Anodyne therapy contains Infrared lights embedded in pads that are placed on affected area. Device is set to number relating to pain while emitting light to aid nerves in releasing Nitric Oxide (naturally occurs in the blood vessels) to improve circulation, relieving pain. Anodyne therapy is painless, and does not require surgery, inpatient care, or oral medication. One visit is thirty minutes, and there is no adverse reaction. I was introduced to Anodyne therapy at Temple University Foot & Ankle Institute in 1996, to treat Heel Spurs caused by flat fleet, and wearing footwear lacking shock absorption. Heel Spurs are sharp pains that pierce heels of feet during resting state. There are many other causes for heel spurs: foot injury, uncontrolled diabetes, and neuropathy.
Along with the treatment, I received custom-made orthotics, and analysis of my footwear collection. The footwear culprit was a pair of Dansko clogs that slid up and down my narrow ankles, and a pair of flat shoes that did not absorb shock when walking. In addition to Anodyne therapy, I was introduced to Rittenhouse Sports Athletics Specialties, an affiliate of Foot & Ankle Institute.
The cost of Anodyne therapy was a $25 co-payment per visit with insurance. After four visits, the pain vanished. Although treatment proved successful the Podiatrist suggested I invest in an Anodyne device incase the heel spurs returned, and insurance company refuse to cover more visits. It was suggested I use the device briefly once a week at three half hour intervals every other day as a preventive measure. After two months of research, the Podiatrist and I found a portable Anodyne therapy device. The Heel Spurs did not return, but I did developed peripheral nerve damage on the left hemispheres of my body as a result of hyperglycemia caused by steroids to treat pneumonia, arthritis from a fractured ankle and torn meniscus, and frozen shoulder. Since 2005, I have used Anodyne therapy on my face, head, abdomen, shoulders, and knees. Although, the neurologist called it hocus-pocus, I have witnessed improvement along with diet, aqua therapy, chair exercising, and wearing footwear geared toward activity.
Pros for Anodyne Therapy
1. Cost effective and portable
2. Use device on trial and rental fee deducted from total cost if you decide to buy
3. You can pay for device in installments
4. 1 yr. warranty-after 1 yr. company will repair or replace part for small fee
5. Improve circulation to nerves after 30 minutes of use 3 times/week.
6. Device turns off automatically after 30 mins., or you can control manually
7. Use for TMJ, stiffness, frozen shoulder etc.
8. Phone assistance available, and calls returned immediately
9. Non-invasive and no medication needed
10. No prescription needed, however one is necessary for medical insurance and tax claims
12. Comes w/ case, adapter, pad and control settings
Cons of Anodyne Therapy
1. Insurance might reject claim
2. Physician might not have knowledge of Anodyne therapy or believe in it
3. Misuse of device can cause malfunction
4. Expensive, however, single pads are available ($500-800) as oppose to two ($900-$1200)

EMT Course
The Emergency Medical Technician Course is 12 weeks long. Clinical 3rd rides, psychomotor skills and all test will be completed in this time frame. All lectures are administered via the Jones and Bartlett online learning management system. Class time will be for psychomotor skills and clinical competency exams.
You must be dedicated and disciplined in order to take our EMT Course. We will help you every way possible to be successful. However, we do not give into excuses, whiners or individuals who are lazy or complacent. With that said, if you are motivated and ready to make a career change, then we are ready for you to be our EMT student.
The EMT student, you cannot miss any of the 12 days that are set in the schedule. If for any reason you miss a day, the student is required to make-up the lessons that were missed. The fee for an EMT Instructor is $40.00 dollars an hour for a minimum of eight hours. Meaning, the student will incur an out of pocket cost of $320.00 dollars. No excuses accepted.
As an EMT, you will render care to the sick and injured in the pre-hospital setting. Whether it is controlling massive hemorrhage or initiating CPR on the cardiac arrest victim, being an Emergency Medical Technician is very exciting. Lives will be on the line so to speak and you will be responsible for rendering the appropriate life saving care.
Everyday is absolutely different than the day before. There is no such thing as a monotonous work environment. Most EMTs work for fire departments which allows them the opportunity to become a Fire Fighter as well. There will be shifts where you render aid to the sick and injured and shifts where you fight fire every other call.
The Emergency Medical Technician course is the entry level for professional EMS providers. Many potential applicants desire to go directly to Paramedic school, however, this isn't possible. The National Registry of EMTs require all individuals to progress through their EMS credentials and upgrades in a chronological order.
From EMT to AEMT and onto Paramedic. This chronological progression ensures continuity and reiteration of the core fundamentals required to become and function as a successful pre-hospital care provider. There are some programs that allow you to "Fast-Track" thru their course, however, we see these students struggle when they enter the EMS community.
Remember, there are no shortcuts for becoming an awesome EMT, Advanced EMT or Paramedic. We require a great deal from our students and we hold you guys to a higher standard. Lives are on the line and if you make the wrong decision, people suffer or even worse, they die.
Call today and see if the Georgia EMT Certification Course is right for You.
