One of the enduring myths of climate denialism is that global warming stopped sometime in the last decade. I see it in the blaring headlines of pseudoscience websites, in comments on my videos, even some of our most "distinguished" journalists have been taken in.

The early part of the video
The early part of the video talks about 3rd, 4th, 5th warmest Mays, Junes, July's or something. That would fit with cooling as well because cooling doesn't mean cold.
Not dealt with here are the recent headlines about 20 year cooling projections which would be something different than the 5-10 year cooling trends we see that would seem to be more related to Ocean cycles.
I realize that the current cooling trend isn't being considered cooling because of the unusual spike in 98, but a counter to that is that 98 was broadcast loudly as proof on AGW - thats a case of playing it both ways.

NO Thats Wrong
8 of the last 10 years are among the hottest on record, what a joke. If anyone thinks that every temperature since 2000 has been hotter than year before 1997 your crazy. You can't make this claim because we did not have devices to measure temperatures throughout most of history. And the fact that for most of history polar ice caps have not existed proves that temperatures have been much higher than what we are at right now. I have a question though Richard. Would it be more dangerous for the temperature to go up 2F or down 2F?
You are in over your head
Might I suggest that you do a bit of homework? Try going to RealClimate: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2007/05/start-here/ It's a very good primer on some of the basics that you don't seem to have grasped yet.

I look at real climate once
I look at real climate once in a while, but I generally stay away from it for the same reason I stay away from climate audit - they talk over my head or maybe they're just too in love with books and figures and graphs and white coats. Common sense of real world experience gets lost in all the math and scientific jargon.
"maybe they're just too in love with books and figures and graphs and white coats"
Gee, maybe they are actually talking FACTS – now there's a concept! A web site about climate science written by climate scientists who answer questions & comments from other scientists – imagine that!
I can't always make heads or tails about the technical stuff either, but the link to which I have referred Mr/Ms Shooshmon is for a page targetted at the layperson, not other scientists, and it is an excellent starting point. Fern

You talking to me?
Femack, was your comment directed toward me? I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of what's going on here. Everybody knows that a molecule of CO2 gives off infrared. We give off infrared simply by exhaling. I think the questions are what role the clouds play, how the earth's biomass adjusts to varying levels of CO2 and how fast infrared escapes into outerspace. Nobody here seems to want to discuss these issues. Who cares about if a trend shows cooling or warming. The temperature is gonna go up then down then up and down again and so on.
Yes, Shooshman
I was talking to you, and my suggestions stands. This site is about how people spin information to confuse the public about the science. If you want to talk science, go on over to RealClimate, read the "Start Here" section, and then jump into the conversation there. I'd be delighted to read what climate scientists would have to say about the validity of your position. Fern

BS. 1998 was given as a
BS. 1998 was given as a symptom of things to come. 1998 was well-known to be a very strong El Nino event, perhaps exacerbated by AGW. However, nine of the warmest 10 years since the beginning of instrumental data were in the 1990s. This was used to prove the existence of AGW. This is not "playing it both ways" at all. It is simply stating the facts.
Also, you mention monthly temperature averages. Those mean really nothing in relation to AGW. It is just weather, really. String a whole bunch of months together and you're starting to approach what is considered "climate". String several years together and you're talking "climate" exclusively and not "weather".
Those 20-year cooling projections are complete BS, too. There may be a few cooler years within the span, but it is inconceivable that the average temperature of the next 20 years would be cooler than the previous 20 years with the greenhouse gases added. That is, unless we REALLY got our act together and dropped our GHG emissions by 70 or 80% over the next 10-20 years or so. Then again, the lag of temperature response to GHGs would probably render a cooling trend impossible anyway.

okay - but the projection
okay - but the projection does exist. I guess some people feel that something else is going to compensate for the CO2. Continued low sun activity or some such thing.

Littlemore Ridiculae
Littlemore says:
"A "cooling" trend might reasonably be expected to include temperatures that are, well, COOL - or at least not in the top 10 per cent in recorded history."
Littlemore, you show your complete lack of scientific and statistical knowledge in that statement. A cooling trend means a statistically significant decline in average temperature. It DOES NOT mean temperatures are necessarily cool. You can have a cooling trend and still have years that are well above the baseline average. The important thing is the temperature declines. I have conducted extensive statistical analyses on the GISSTemp HadCRUT and satellite data sets. There is a statistically significant cooling trend in all data sets over the 2000s.
Please Littlemore, don't show your complete ignorance just as your colleague Sinclair is ignorant, it just makes you both look like idiots. You cherry pick till the cows come home when statistics is against you.
Richard Littlemore replied on Permalink
"... extensive stastical analyses ...."
Richard Steckis replied on Permalink
Why have you used 2000 as a start point? That is cherry picking on a grand scale. Breakpoint analysis shows that there is a breakpoint in the temperature time series in December 1997. Therefore, 1998 should be used as a start point for statistical analysis. Again you show your propensity to cherry pick to support your argument. The graph you allude to is a graph of annual data only. A proper statistical analysis requires at least monthly data (which I have done). Again. It is not relevant that every year since 2000 is warmer than those before 1997. The fact is that warming has stopped for at least eight years and declined for that period in the satellite data set. Of course you cherry picked 2000 as it was the depth of a La Nina that followed the El Nino of 1997/8. Cool La Ninas commonly follow severe El Ninos. Know you data before you deign to comment.
A graph is not statistics.

From "The Guardian", UK: Global warming to trigger "earthquakes, tsunamis, avalanches and volcanic eruptions."
So that's official then. Thermageddon and the Ecopolypse will cause earthquakes, tsunamis, and then the seas will boil!!! The very crust beneath our feet will crack and swallow us up!!! Scientists are all in consensus on that!!! Why won't you listen, you deniers, you heretics and apostates???? Doom, I tells ya, doom is fast approaching!!!!

The N.C. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that it doesn't matter whether a Chapel Hill firefighter overstepped his authority when he stopped an erratic driver in 2011, because police had plenty of justification to arrest her for driving while impaired.
Dorothy H. Verkerk, 54, a UNC-Chapel Hill art professor and former Chapel Hill Town Council member, admitted she had been drinking but sought to overturn her 2012 DWI conviction, citing the firefighter stop.
Lt. Gordon Shatley, a 20-year veteran of the Chapel Hill Fire Department, said later that he stopped her car that night because he feared she would have an accident. He was in a firetruck returning from a call when he saw Verkerk's Mercedes veering across two lanes and a center turn lane.
He reported by radio to Chapel Hill Police that he was following a driver who might be impaired. Later, Shatley flipped on his firetruck siren and flashing lights. Verkerk stopped, spoke with him and drove away.

Police officers arrested her a few minutes later. Her blood-alcohol test registered 0.23 percent, nearly triple the 0.08 level that establishes, under state law, that a driver is illegally impaired.
The Court of Appeals ordered a new trial in 2013 to decide whether Shatley's stop was an illegal search and seizure that violated Verkerk's constitutional rights.
But in an order written by Associate Justice Bob Edmunds, the Supreme Court reinstated her guilty verdict. Police had reasonable suspicion to arrest Verkerk because Shatley had reported her erratic driving before he stopped her, and because officers made their own assessment of her intoxication, the court said.
The ruling means Verkerk's original conviction will take effect and her driver license will be suspended, unless she decides to appeal the case in federal court.
"While we disagree with the Supreme Court decision, Ms. Verkerk is looking forward to putting this matter behind her," said her attorney, Matthew Suczinski of Chapel Hill.
Dan Jones, the Chapel Hill fire chief, said he had hoped for a ruling that would affirm the right of firefighters and rescue workers to intercede in cases like Verkerk's.
"I'm still encouraging my supervisors that if they see something like this occurring, that if they can safely take action to prevent possible tragedy, they should do so," Jones said.

Images with Data
Is it possible to see and edit data (SQL or Strata native tables) at the same time? i.e., we want to have a column that contains the path to the images (ie \\usatl02eras40\Audit Strategy\ASTRATEGY\Microsoft Office Outlook - Memo Style.pdf) and when we scroll thru the data, it opens the image that corresponds to that record either by clicking on the link or just having a form separately that holds the images and changes when you select a different record. Is this a wish list suggestion?

Yes, you can certainly do this. Create a calculated field that builds up a URL from a given image name stored in another field. Then, when you click on the URL in that cell, the appropriate file will open up in a separate tab.

Iron is a mineral found in every cell of the body. Iron is considered an essential mineral because it is needed to make part of blood cells.
Alternative Names
Diet - iron
The human body needs iron to make the oxygen-carrying proteins
Iron also makes up part of many proteins in the body.
Food Sources
The best sources of iron include:
- Dried beans
- Dried fruits
- Eggs (especially egg yolks)
- Iron-fortified cereals
- Liver
- Lean red meat (especially beef)
- Oysters
- Poultry, dark red meat
- Salmon
- Tuna
- Whole grains
Reasonable amounts of iron are also found in lamb, pork, and shellfish.
Iron from vegetables, fruits, grains, and supplements is harder for the body to absorb. These sources include:
- Dried fruits
- prunes
- raisins
- apricots
- Legumes
- lima beans
- soybeans
- dried beans and peas
- kidney beans
- Seeds
- almonds
- Brazil nuts
- Vegetables
- broccoli
- spinach
- kale
- collards
- asparagus
- dandelion greens
- Whole grains
- wheat
- millet
- oats
- brown rice
If you mix some lean meat, fish, or poultry with beans or dark leafy greens at a meal, you can improve absorption of vegetable sources of iron up to three times. Foods rich in
Some foods reduce iron absorption. For example, commercial black or pekoe teas contain substances that bind to iron so it cannot be used by the body.
Side Effects
The human body stores some iron to replace any that is lost. However, low iron levels over a long period of time can lead to iron deficiency anemia. Symptoms include lack of energy, shortness of breath, headache, irritability,
Those at risk for low iron levels include:
- Women who are menstruating, especially if they have heavy periods
- Women who are pregnant or who have just had a baby
- Long-distance runners
- People with any type of bleeding in the intestines (for example, a bleeding ulcer)
- People who frequently donate blood
- People with gastrointestinal conditions that make it hard to absorb nutrients from food
Babies and young children are at risk for low iron levels if they do not receive the appropriate foods. Babies moving to solid foods should eat iron-rich foods. Infants are born with enough iron to last about six months. An infants additional iron needs are met by breast milk. Infants that are not breastfed should be given an iron supplement or iron-fortified infant formula.
Children between age 1 and 4 grow rapidly, which uses up iron in the body. They should be given iron-fortified foods or iron supplements. Note: Milk is a very poor source of iron. Children who drink large quantities of milk and avoid other foods may develop "milk anemia." Recommended milk intake is two to three cups per day for toddlers.
Adolescents are more prone to low iron levels because of rapid growth rates and inconsistent eating habits.
The genetic disorder called
It is unlikely that a person would take too much iron. However, children can sometimes develop iron poisoning by swallowing too many iron supplements. Symptoms of iron poisoning include:
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Headache
- Weight loss
- Shortness of breath
- Grayish color to the skin
The Food and Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine recommends the following:
Infants and children
- Younger than 6 months: 0.27 milligrams per day (mg/day)
- 7 months to 1 year: 11 mg/day
- 1 to 3 years: 7 mg/day
- 4 to 8 years: 10 mg/day
- 9 to 13 years: 8 mg/day
- 14 to 18 years: 11 mg/day
- Age 19 and older: 8 mg/day
- 9 to 13 years: 8 mg/day
- 14 to 18 years: 15 mg/day
- 19 to 50 years: 18 mg/day
- 51 and older: 8 mg/day
Women who are pregnant or producing breast milk may need different amounts of iron. Ask your health care provider what is appropriate for you.

Che: Part One and Two
Epic biopic more bluntly informative than passionately provocative
Writer/producer/cinematographer/director Steven Soderbergh has had his name attached to enough big-ticket blockbusters (Out Of Sight, Erin Brockovich, Traffic, Ocean's Eleven) to be mistaken for a mainstream Hollywood filmmaker. He isn't really. Dig through his résumé in full and you'll find plenty of proof that—despite palling around with George Clooney and Julia Roberts—his heart lies in doggedly uncommercial independent cinema. For evidence, put Kafka, King of the Hill, Underneath, Schizopolis and 2005's self-distributed Bubble in your Netflix queue—because you probably aren't going to find them at your local Blockbuster.

You are right, no single vendor can go the distance and claim complete support for all the requirements that the compliance regulators pose.
There was this whitepaper from Symantec on PCIDSS
(free registration is required to view the doc.) where he has mentioned that sections 1, 3 & 9 are not covered by Syamtec solutions.
Also i can across many vendors like NetForensics , EventLog Analyzer , SenSage who provide compliance reports.
But i guess, no software tool can entirely model all the nitty-gritties of the compliance requirements, but ofcourse they can only assist us to some extent, which makes the above tools useful for sysadmins / management during audits.
Check out the PCI assessors forum. They call it the "Auditor Community Site", but Visa^UPCI makes a big deal about using the term ASSESSMENT and ASSESSOR, not AUDIT, due to the liability and legal ramifications of those 2 different words...

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
Dear Prudence:
About a month ago, my father informed us--by e-mail!--that he was planning to divorce my mother and had contacted a lawyer. Now he tells us he's coming home for Christmas. At the same time, my mother invited a friend of hers for Christmas dinner because the woman recently discovered her husband's 6-year-long affair and has no one to share the holiday with.
The problem is my mother hasn't told her friend about my father wanting a divorce. Although we all plan to be civilized about it, if my father makes some offhand comment about the situation, it will be awkward to say the least. My sister and I feel our mother should discreetly tell her friend what's going on, but my mother is very proud and prefers to pretend that everything is fine, especially since she's the one who encouraged her friend to dump her husband. Mom's afraid that her friend will encourage her to go along with the divorce--which she doesn't want to do. Should my sister and I quietly tell Mom's friend what's up? Or should we ask our dad to stay away from the topic of the divorce during dinner? We don't know what to do that won't make the problem worse. Christmas dinner is shaping up to be a nightmare. Help!
Can it get any more awkward than this?
Dear Can:
Probably ... but you have a day or two to make your moves. Since the woman guest is your mother's friend, and your mother wishes to keep her marital situation under wraps (strangely, Prudie thinks) you should not be the one to spill the beans. And since your father wants to come to Christmas dinner (strangely, Prudie thinks) the mechanistic thing to do to salvage the night is to quietly tell your dad that your mom hasn't broken the news to her friend ... so could he please pretend things are "normal." Take heart that yours will be just one of countless such dinners around the country where the family dynamics are, shall we say, unusual.
--Prudie, delicately
As a young woman with serious curves on a trim frame, I, myself, have had to deal with the issue of my gazongas and my pretty face in a professional manner. I wear non-push-up bras with thin padding, often marketed as "T-shirt bras," and I only wear tight-fitting sweaters if they are black, long-sleeved, and matte. Tailored shirts work well, too. I find that having Katharine Hepburn as my style icon for work clothes is an ideal solution, even though I've got a Marilyn Monroe body. The difficult part for your perplexed young man who wrote will be requesting, in a tactful fashion, that his girlfriend dress modestly. I recommend the Katharine Hepburn metaphor as a gentle and flattering way to make this request.
Best wishes,
Dear E.:
You are nice to weigh in as a Prudie. The young man will probably have to be a little more explicit than just mentioning the Great Kate's name, however, because her style of dressing is most associated with slax and turtlenecks. Also, the wonderful Ms. Hepburn was never known for remarkable gazongas. Prudie guesses it's the Hepburn aura you're going for, since, unlike you, there was no Marilyn Monroe body underneath all those tailored clothes. Just as an aside, Prudie cannot quite understand your wearing the "T-shirt bra" with its thin padding. Wouldn't padding--even thin--be gilding the lilies?

Three little addenda to your advice to Junior Exec.
1) If he wishes to continue to advance his career, he might want to refer to his well-endowed partner as a "woman," not a "girl." If, however, she is under 18, then he has a completely different problem.
2) He might want to establish the difference between "plain" and "major pair of hooters." The opposite of "plain" is actually "beautiful," and the opposite of "major hooters" is "flat as a pancake."
3) What exactly is the problem he wants advice for? Is he actually suggesting that having a bazoomba fetish might hamper his career? Wake up and smell the coffee, Junior. This is America!
Nitpicker, Emmaus, PA.
Dear Nit:
Hmmm. Bazoomba fetish. Prudie thanks you for the new word ... and for letting the young man have it with both barrels. Prudie, for some reason, only used one.
--Prudie, mammiferously
Dear Prudence:
Thanks for all the great advice. Here is my problem: My mom calls me every few days for a chat, and she is in the habit of eating while talking on the phone. She is invariably crunching an apple or snacking on beef jerky every time I talk to her. It's disgusting! I actually try to avoid her calls so that I won't have to listen to those noises. I think this is so rude and inconsiderate of her, but I don't know what to do about it. I have even tried doing it back to her, but she didn't get the hint. Her grazing into the receiver is making me nuts. What should I do?
Dear S.:
Instead of chomping on beef jerky yourself, hoping the mother of all grazers will get the hint, why not opt for a more direct approach? Simply say, "Mother, you know I love you, but the noise of your eating while talking on the phone distracts me from what you're saying." You might suggest that she separate the activities of eating and phoning. If you feel she wouldn't respond well to your request, then avoid her calls when you can, and when you can't, hold the phone far away from your ear. Of course you won't know what she's saying, but life is choices, my dear.
Prudie has the reverse situation by the way. When talking to her mother, if she's in the kitchen it always seems like a good time to do whatever dishes are in the sink. This invariably elicits from Prudie's mother: "Are you running water?" Until explicitly asked to desist, Prudie will continue. This is all by way of saying that people do what they're in the habit of doing, unless specifically asked to cut it out.
--Prudie, habitually
Dear Prudence:
Do you know about the latest craze in parking spots? They are "pregnant lady" or "families with children" spots at malls and grocery stores. My contention is that these are no different in theory than a "whites only" parking spot, though of course, in practice, racial discrimination beats reproductive discrimination hands down. The contention of the pregnant member of the office staff is that I'm a bastard.
Should I take the gentlemanly way out and quit parking in the spaces reserved for the breeders or continue my lonesome fight?
Dear Sid:
Prudie has not heard of these new preferential parking spots. It would seem prudent (to use the adjective named for your adviser) to forgo your "lonesome fight" in the name of peace and quiet. Hang on, though. The way reproductive developments are going, it shouldn't be too long before you can look a policeman in the eye and say, "Sir, I am entitled to this space. Though I do not show yet, I am due in the spring."
--Prudie, futuristically

And I said that a Compaq Deskpro didn't work and neither did an Asus Netbook and an IBM Thinkpad was mentioned as well. Please define generic.
I will repeat it one more time: OUT OF THE BOX Windows might or might not support the hardware, but there is always a driver-cd, windows update driver or a driver on the manufacturers website so you WILL get ALL your hardware working.
OUT OF THE BOX Linux might or might not support the hardware, by searching online or adding alternative repositories (binary drivers) you can add some more driver support but I have NEVER gotten ALL hardware working

Dr. Franz Xavier Groll, a retired physician who lived and practiced on Eager Street in downtown Baltimore's Mount Vernon neighborhood, died of pulmonary thrombosis April 2 at Keswick Multi-Care Center. He was 95.
Born in Aalen in Germany, he was the son of a forest manager who was also a gamekeeper.
He grew up at the time of Adolf Hitler's rise and was a member of the German Youth Movement. He studied medicine at the Ruprecht-Karl University of Heidelberg and served in the German army as a combat physician attached to a Panzer division.
Kenneth P. Moore, the executor of his estate, said Dr. Groll told him he witnessed the bombing of Stuttgart and that he had seen action in Italy, Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union during World War II.
He was taken captive by U.S. troops in Heidelberg in 1945.
Mr. Moore said that Dr. Groll recalled questioning those who had taken him prisoner about how the American doctors and staff treated casualities with blood supplies.
After the war, Dr. Groll began to study how blood could be supplied throughout Germany.
He found that Dr. John Elliott was giving a lecture in Frankfurt about the U.S. system of donated blood through blood banks.
Dr. Groll became the vice president of the Deutsche Blutspende Dienst, a group that sought to reform the blood bank system in Germany.
He later came to the U.S. to study with Dr. Elliott, the blood plasma expert who was nominated for a Nobel Prize. Dr. Groll later moved to Charlotte, N.C., to work with the Regional Red Cross Blood Center. He also studied urology at Duke University.
He moved to Baltimore in 1958 and established a medical practice on East Eager Street in Mount Vernon. Friends said his practice focused on the city, and he treated numerous neighborhood residents. He also served as a general surgeon at what is now Mercy Medical Center from 1962 to 1999.
A Roman Catholic, he joined St. Ignatius Church that year and was a donor to the parish.
"He had a keen interest in the needs of poor people," said the Rev. William Watters, pastor of St. Ignatius. "Franz was a man of deep faith who was a long-standing parishioner. He was a contributor to numerous projects and helped us buy the St. Ignatius Center on St. Paul Street."
He also supported Mercy Medical Center and the Franciscan Monastery at Folly Quarter in Howard County.
He enjoyed classical music and opera, collected art, and traveled to Mexico.
A memorial Mass will be celebrated at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at St. Ignatius Church, 740 Calvert St.
Survivors include a son, Rolf Juergen Groll-Fahr of Germany; two granddaughters; and a great-granddaughter.

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (US - BD RA)
Gabe revisits this most non-non-non-non-non heinous of movies...
In the year 2688, a utopian society exists, thanks to the inspirational properties of the music and wisdom of the Two Great Ones: Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Alex Winter) and 'Ted' Theodore Logan (Keanu Reeves). But all is not right in paradise. The Three Most Important People in the Universe task a time traveler named Rufus (George Carlin) to travel back into time to the San Dimas, California of 1988 using a time machine shaped like a phone booth to ensure that the Bill and Ted, then dim-witted high school students, successfully pass a history class. Should they fail, Ted's father, police captain Logan (Hal Langdon), plans to ship Ted to a military academy in Alaska, ending Bill & Ted's fledgling band, the 'Wyld Stallyns,' and altering the future forever more.
Fans have a bad habit of letting nostalgia get in the way of growth. I like to make a habit of revisiting childhood/teenage favourites as much as the next guy, but I'm not ever going to understand the emotional twinge that allows people to overlook how utterly dreadful so much of this stuff is. Rather than desperately trying to convince myself that my nostalgia outweighs the disappointment of revisiting something I'm realizing isn't actually good, I prefer to celebrate those rare occasions where my childhood/teenage self was right. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is still a good movie. Even after years of mimicry, a sequel, and a Saturday morning cartoon series, it's still genuinely funny, the characters are still memorable, and the general concept is still one of a kind. It's also a movie that gracefully wears its dated qualities. Whereas other films that embrace their release period's fashions tend to alienate modern audiences, the late '80s clothing and music is an integral part of this film. In fact, in the Bill and Ted movie universe, Bill and Ted's personal fashions and musical tastes are going to shape the future, so the silly late '80sness of it all becomes another joke.
Bill, Ted, and their wacky, time-traveling adventures have become such a solid part of the pop culture lexicon that it's easy to forget how unique this movie was. The screenplay was written by first-time feature film writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon. Matheson and Solomon recognized the comedic possibilities of the late '80s MTV mall culture, but weren't content to recreate the California-chic of earlier '80s films, like Valley Girl (which, oddly enough, along with 1995's Clueless and 1999's 10 Things I Hate About You, was based on Shakespeare) – they created a rich, bizarre, sci-fi mythology. Then they took their spoof further by making Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure a madcap history lesson. A surprisingly accurate madcap history lesson. I know you all know this already, but seriously, stop and think about how creative that is. Stop and think about that brilliantly subversive scene where Bill and Ted escape incarceration by describing what they'd do later with their time machine. Director Stephen Herek's input is a little less substantial, especially when you compare his work to Peter Hewitt's more aesthetically creative work on Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, but he certainly holds the film's disparate elements together with a bit of style and his tongue-in-cheek action certainly works without diverting attention to itself. The only tragedy of the series is Alex Winter's lack of post- Bill and Ted stardom. Sure, he's directed a couple of Ben 10 live-action movies for Cartoon Network, but the co-writer/director of Freaked deserves more.
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is presented in its 2.35:1 aspect ratio and full 1080p video (25GB single layer). This marks the first time since the theatrical release I've seen this particular film in its original aspect ratio. The video quality here is actually better than expected, immediately exhibiting clean, vibrant colours, sharp details, and plenty of fine texture. The grain levels are minimal (aside from some of the effects process shots), but appear natural for type, without a lot of clumping and only a little bit of jitter. At worst there are some minor issues with a slightly frosted look to some of the lighter scenes and some smudgy bits on darker black edges. Complex wide shot details are sometimes a bit fuzzy (that brief shot of Napoleon's army, for instance), though this is often clearly the effect of camera focus. Otherwise, the upgrade in sharpness and clarity shows off the film's eclectic filming styles and palettes as they relate to the different time periods Bill and Ted visit. Contrast levels are crisp, aside from those occasional smudges along black edges. Colours are strong, though more natural than I remember (I have memories of more neon hues), and well-separated throughout, with a few blooming effects around the brightest reds and yellows. The poppy qualities of warmer hues against cooler backdrops is especially impressive without unwanted blooming or blocking effects. Edge enhancement and other sharpening effects are minimal, and print damage effects include only occasional chunks of dirt and little white flecks (there's a big ol' black spot in the center of the screen as our heroes attempt to put the antennae back together with chewing gum).
This disc also features an uncompressed DTS-HD Maser Audio 5.1 soundtrack. There's not a whole lot of sweeping directional enhancement here, but there's enough, and the 2.0 to 5.1 upgrade isn't awkward. The stereo and surround channels are mostly devoted to off-screen music, crowd noise, and other ambience. The most expressive movement comes out of the time travel sequences, where the electric sound of the time travel telephone booth powering up circulates throughout the front channels and the 'tubes of time' offer big directional involvement throughout the rear channels. The special effects scenes also feature a decent LFE bounce without any major warbling effects. As stated in the feature part of my review, many things date Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, but the dated qualities are part of the comedic tapestry, rather than a side effect. The only time the film loses me as a modern audience member is in reference to David Newman's occasionally dopey score. The pop and rock music inclusions make sense, but the score doesn't hold up. It's also a little thin at times without the LFE enhancement afforded the pop and rock items. Another fun addition is the nice, wide stereo spread of Bill and Ted's air guitar sound.
The extras, which have been ported over from MGM's Most Excellent Collection DVD (minus the Bogus Journey extras), begin with The Original Bill & Ted: In Conversation with Chris & Ed (20:10, SD), a two-man roundtable with screenwriters Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon, who retrospectively discuss the various inspirations of the story, including some interesting stuff that didn't make the cut, and the process of selling their script. Next up is an air guitar tutorial with Bjorn Turoque and the Rockness Monster (13:10, SD), which is just about as obnoxious as you'd assume it is. The disc also features the pilot episode of the Bill and Ted Saturday morning cartoon entitled One Sweet and Sour Chinese Adventure To Go (23:10, SD), radio spots, and a trailer.
My deadset assurance that I'm immune aside, nostalgia does play into my affection in the case of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, no matter how hard I try to pretend it doesn't. The main thing is that it was filmed in and around Phoenix, Arizona. I specifically lived in an apartment complex on the outskirts of the Metrocenter Mall, where they filmed all the wacky mall scenes when I was in college. I'm a hypocrite. Sigh. Excellent Adventure has some down moments and plenty of flat jokes, but it mostly stands the test of time and earns its place in a fan's collection with this good-looking Blu-ray release. Now where's Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, MGM/Fox?

Looking back upon the past week of service in New Orleans, all there remains to do is marvel at how far we have come, individually and as a team. We set out to work on a home in the Lower Ninth Ward that belonged to one Pastor Washington, a tireless community leader who refused to let his house be worked on until the rest of his parish had roofs over their heads. Not only did he invite us into his neighborhood with open arms, we were fortunate enough to be treated to some Crescent City jambalaya and fried chicken. It was truly inspiring to see a man of his 84 years full of optimism for his community, where many in his position would understandably have chosen to look at how the rest of the country had turned their backs on them and give up hope.
Tim Tan ' 14 - One of the highlights of the week was spending an evening with our local partners from Westside Christian, bonding over conversation and some great eats courtesy of our traveling chef Dr. Warner. We observed an Ash Wednesday service where we read a passage from Isaiah 58 on the true purpose of Lent. Far from being a season merely to fast and scrutinize our own salvation, we were called upon to seek out justice around us and to 'break every yoke.' It made me think that even as we try to study the etiologies of poverty in an economics class, or ponder the politics of social justice in a government class, there is still no substitute for the power of coming face to face with issues in society that seem to be discouraging and intractable.
For if being liberally educated is to mean anything, it has to compel us to seek answers to these difficult questions, and through the relationships we build, to have our knowledge transmuted into understanding.
From Katrina to Rita to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the people of New Orleans just can't seem to catch a break. Yet, though it may very well have been illusory, for a brief time this week there was a feeling that as a community they had finally turned a corner. As we prepared to leave, I was grateful to the city of New Orleans and the residents of the Lower Ninth Ward for their generosity of spirit, for somehow managing to make us feel like kings but at the same time just like one of their own.

Saturday's Comic [04.06.2002]
I rather like how it came out. *nod* Not too bad. This is another page that I originally drew during my Thanksgiving break in 2001, but because of changes in how I draw the character Storm, I had to redraw a section of the page, and I did a ton of editing once I had scanned everything in. Inverting colors, fading higher quality images into the background, and inserting the new art. So... Not too bad overall. You can still see the poorer art on the young version of Kage, but... Ah well. No more old art pages like this will show up now. ^_^
I did some massive changes to the dialogue to be more informative instead of three very cryptic lines, bleck.
Whee! I been drawing lots today...
Go draw more now. ^_^

Major Pool Heater Repair
Minor heater repairs can sometimes become somewhat complex. Diagnosing the problem can become its own problem, and lf major repairs are necessary, can become lengthy and involved. When working on any type of heater you are dealing with an appliance that involves electric, gas/oil, and water. These components are designed to remain separate and should remain so to avoid personal and/or property damage. Major heater repairs should always be performed by a professional. Follow all guidelines and recommendations set forth by the manufacturer to ensure your safety and the longevity of your pool heater.
Major heater repairs consist of (and are not limited to) converting gas source, replacing burner tray (#30 below), and replacing the heat exchanger (#13 below). Often times when attempting to diagnose and fix the problem, the remedy listed in the manufacturers diagnostic guide leads you to "refer to qualified service personnel". When possible contact the manufacturer regarding your exact heater make and model, they have staffed a technical support department to help answer your questions. Look on the inside panel of your pool heater for the model number and serial number before calling. Also helpful are the online Owner's Manuals for pool heaters. Visit the links below to find your pool heater owner's manual.
|RayPak/ Rheem Heaters - www.raypak.com - 1-818-889-1500
Sta-Rite Pool & Spa Group - www.staritepool.com - 1-800-752-0183
Teledyne-Laars/ Jandy Heaters - www.jandy.com - 1-800-227-1442
Heat exchanger
The heat exchanger is where your pool water is pushed through copper finned tubes. The flames below, in the burner tray, heat these tubes and the heat is "exchanged" to the water as it rushes through the tubes. The heating tubes or coils are directly above the heat source and in turn heat and warm the water.
A common problem with the heat exchanger is improper ventilation due to corrosion or debris. When the space between the coils become blocked with soot or lime deposits, the heater cannot exhaust itself fast enough through the top of heater. Advanced stages of blockage in the air spaces of the tube fins may result in flame rollout. When this happens, this typically melts a wax pellet inside of the fusible link, thus breaking the Safety Loop circuit. Before replacing fusible link/rollout switch please first correct ventilation/exhaust issues by cleaning corrosion and/or debris off of coils. In most models the coils can easily be accessed with minor disassembling from the top down. The best way to the clean heat exchanger is to use a wire brush.
On occasion a repair might call for the replacement of entire heat exchanger. If the pool water has been "aggressive", with low pH and Alkalinity this can lead to pinhole leaks in a heat exchanger. This is not covered under warranty, so watch your pool water chemistry! Most commonly, heat exchanger leaks are in the seal between the heat exchanger tube set and the front and rear headers. This can be remedied as simply as adding a new gasket(s). Common this time of year is leaking headers, either front, rear or both. If you left water in the heater over the winter and it got below 32 degrees, you may have a freeze damaged header on your hands. This job is not too difficult, just remove and replace. We have pool heater parts here at POOLCENTER.com.
Swapping out entire exchanger means more disassembly but can be achieved with a little know how and some patience. There will be some plumbing required - but don't sweat it! Just need a few slip couplings and pvc fittings and some hand tools, including a hacksaw. Please consult your pool heater owner's manual for the complete procedure. This job does not require any gas fitting. First, we need to cut the two pipes going in and out of the heater. Then dissassemble from the top down to expose the entire exchanger. The entire heat exchanger can be lifted out in one piece to a table for dissasembly. Remove both headers from the existing H.E. and with fresh gaskets supplied, fit them back onto the new H.E.. Place the entire assembly (assembled) back into the "box", and reassemble the top. Make sure any external draft hoods or outside ventilation is reassembled correctly. Finally, re-connect the plumbing or the pipes that go in and out of the pool heater.
Proper exhaust is very important for a heater's performance, but it also needs to vent away from houses and out of pool equipment rooms. Gas and Propane Pool Heaters produce carbon monoxide, which can be fatal.
Burner Tray
Pool Heaters are designed in a very similar manner to a gas household hot water heater or gas furnace. Gas pool heaters using a gas source, natural or liquid propane, introduce heat converting gas into a controlled flame that is released through a burner tray. The burner tray will heat the coils at the heat exchange in turn heating the water. The flame from the burner tray is released from small orifices . These orifices can become obstructed by very small nests or webs from very small critters. It's a good idea to visually check your burner tray every year to make sure debris is not laying on top of the burners. This requires getting down very low, and getting your eyeballs right up on the tray. Some heaters have an inspection panel that can be lifted or removed to view across the top of the burner tray.
Gas is converted into flame using a pilot which is part of the burner tray assembly. The positioning of your pilot is vital to ignite the burner tray. The pilot receives gas from the internal gas valve which will open if all safety switches are functioning properly. The Gas Valve will not release gas to the burner tray unless all Safety Loop circuit controls are working properly.
Burner Trays can be removed fairly easily. First, shut off the gas coming into the heater, and remove the gas pipe from the gas valve. The burner tray will slide out after removal of a few screws. You will need to disconnect some of the Safety Circuit wiring from the gas valve. use masking tape to mark where they connect, or draw a quick map. A badly deteriorated tray or weldment, as Laars called it, may fall apart as it's being removed, so be gentle when removing the burner tray. All parts on the burner tray can be replaced individually, so you may not need to replace the entire burner tray, except in cases where you need a gas valve and a pilot assembly.
Conversion to another gas, for example, converting a Natural Gas heater to operate on Propane Gas, requires changing of all gas orifices. Some manufacturers have a simple kit, whereas Laars/Jandy require a replacement of the entire burner tray, which may be a safer and easier repair to make for the average do it yourself pool owner. Always consult the manufacturer or the owners manual to read proper burner tray installation considerations. Working with gas can be dangerous. When making gas connections always test for gas leaks by spraying all connections with a soapy solution. Bubbles forming indicate a leak.
Next step ~ fire up the heater, fire up the grill, and enjoy your swimming pool! One more tip - using a solar blanket or pool cover when not using the pool can save a lot of money and energy, especially at night!

Bethesda has no interest in smartphones, Facebook or Nintendo
There is an assortment of emerging markets out there – and Bethesda is interested in hardly any of them.
We don't have Facebook stuff. We don't have mobile stuff. We feel like we really know who we are and we know what we're good at," Bethesda VP of PR and marketing Pete Hines told Eurogamer.
A while ago it was social games that were all the rage and [people were asking] 'why aren't we doing Facebook?'. That's not what we do, and now that's no longer a big deal. So we didn't run after it and now we're not running away from it. We're just going to kind of stick to what we feel is best."
Hines was equally as dismissive of Nintendo, adding: We have nothing announced in development for Wii U. It's not something that we've done anything for previously. I don't even remember the last time we've done a Nintendo title. We don't have anything now. Whether or not we would in the future is TBD. As for why, I guess I'd rather not go into that."
Hines was keen to stress, however, that Bethesda is keen on exploring emerging models where it feels it can add value.
I feel like we continue to do pretty well [with] the success of Skyrim, the success of Dishonored. We continue to stick to what we know and have done pretty well doing it and that's how we're going to proceed going forward," he explained.
That's not to say that we wouldn't do an iPhone game or an XBLA thing, but it would have to be at a certain time where it would feel right coming from us. If we're not going to do that, then we're just not going to bother. Those are cool markets and people are doing really well [in it], but that's just not what we do.
And that's not to say we're not branching out. We started a new studio out in Austin led by Rich Vogel called Battlecry, which is working on a free-to-play title, so we're clearly not 'oh, it only needs to be premium priced triple-A stuff on a disc'. We have other stuff in the works."

Thank you for visiting the English Department of the UW Colleges, which is represented on every local campus and on UW Colleges Online.
Contemporary English studies courses offer broad, rich, and varied opportunities to learn about texts and languages. They can range from the traditional study of national literary traditions—British, postcolonial, American, transnational—to the study of writing—composition, rhetoric, professional and technical writing or creative writing, and beyond. Increasing numbers of English departments are bringing English studies into the 21st century with the study of new media, technology and computer-mediated communication. Courses in popular texts and popular culture, the study of film, or cultural approaches to composition are also part of what students and scholars of English study.
Engaging in the study of English means students will develop their ability to write clearly and persuasively, to read critically, to develop interpretations of imaginative texts, to analyze and make arguments, and build their knowledge of classic and contemporary examples of literary excellence. Whether pursuing English studies at the first-year or more advanced level, students will encounter new texts, pose and consider abiding questions about human experience, and develop critical reading and writing skills that will serve them in their future studies and into their lives outside the classroom.

More Studies Show That Violent Video Games Aren't A Problem For Kids
from the and-again-and-again-and-again dept
The only issue is that in a small group of kids, who already appear to have other psychological issues, the video games may contribute to and exacerbate those issues. In other words, it's not the video games that are the issue, but a separate problem. But for most children, there are no problems with them playing violent video games, despite what you may have heard on the nightly news:
"Violent video games are like peanut butter," said Christopher J. Ferguson, of Texas A&M International University. "They are harmless for the vast majority of kids but are harmful to a small minority with pre-existing personality or mental health problems."Other studies also found that many video games have positive aspects, and can be quite useful to kids.
He added that studies have revealed that violent games have not created a generation of problem youngsters.
"Recent research has shown that as video games have become more popular, children in the United States and Europe are having fewer behavior problems, are less violent and score better on standardized tests," Ferguson, a guest editor for the journal, explained.

Store It Boldly: Inspiring Red Storage Solutions
There's a tendency among folks to want to hide not only the stuff we're trying to store, but to minimize the storage itself. Why call attention to the fact that we're not one of those people who can live with only five items total? Well, you probably have the need to store something you don't use every day, and we highly suggest moving away from timid storage and investing in bold, call-attention-to-itself storage!
Scared? Not sure how that will work? Afraid it'll become some sort of focal point in the room, which would be weird for a piece of storage? Don't fret, we've collected a handful of photos from recent Apartment Therapy house tours with (very loose definitions of) red storage. The kind of storage that doesn't meekly hold your wares, but the kind that almost dares guests to dig through your good china and sock drawers. Go ahead, dare yourself to add some red storage to your space.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, saying he does not want uncertainty over his future to drag through 2013-14 and with the possibility of being offered an extension this offseason, will "in all likelihood" make a decision in the summer over whether to retire after one more season.
While re-affirming that he is leaning toward walking away after an 18th campaign, Bryant made it clear in an interview with NBA.com he expects to make a call before reporting to training camp and probably even long before that. One factor in the decision is the chance to end all the endless questions. Another is to give the Lakers clarity moving forward, in general, and particularly in conjunction with any contract talks that may take place.
"We'll talk," Bryant said after piling up 19 points, 14 assists against one turnover and nine rebounds while playing all but 23 seconds of the 103-98 victory over the Kings at Sleep Train Arena. "I'll talk to my family and stuff and really see if I want to continue to sacrifice as much as I'm sacrificing right now. I'm putting my body through a lot to just try to get ready to play every single night. To do what I'm doing right now, it's not easy. I'll tell you, it's taken a lot of commitment."
Is your sense that next season will be your last?
"As I sit here right now, yeah."
Is there anything the Lakers can say that would make it more likely you played beyond next season?
"No," Bryant told NBA.com. "It's my decision. It's really about what I want to do, if I want to train and be psychotic with my training. That's what it comes down to. It's really how I'm feeling physically."
Speaking of Saturday in Sacramento. It was only two days before that Bryant was hobbling out of the locker room in Milwaukee with one crutch supporting a very painful left foot, the result of a bone spur. It was another ominous moment for the team that had battled injuries all season.
He saw a foot specialist after the Lakers arrived here Friday, with enough encouraging feedback that Bryant was listed as probable for what could be his final appearance in Sacramento after years of contentious battles with the Kings. And then he pretty much played the entire game.
Bryant came out for the first time with 22.6 seconds remaining in the third quarter. He went back in for the start of the fourth period and didn't leave again.
"I thought that was the key, the 23 seconds," coach Mike D'Antoni deadpanned. "He'd have been tired."
D'Antoni was asked if he stayed with Bryant so long to keep the foot loose.
"Sounds good," he said. "I'll use that one. My decision mostly is he's not coming out. He makes it easy for me."
So it was a basketball decision.
"It was his heart," D'Antoni said. "He said, 'I'm not coming out.' Hey, he's earned the right. Nobody can tell what he has inside of him. And he has a lot."
Steve Nash, meanwhile, remains a concern. After initially being listed as questionable with a sore hip, he played the first 1:48, came out, and did not return. The Lakers say he is day-to-day with a sore right hamstring, an injury related to the hip.

I would say that at least half of the folks who have been having this conversation did have c-sections. And some of us were bothered by the separation. But I do agree, Shelly, about having the dad or another support person go with the baby.
ETA: I did successfully nurse Lilah. But I think that being separated (although she was in the NICU, not really the same thing) contributed to to the issues that we had A LOT. Now, I don't know if we had only been separated for four hours if things would have been better but I didn't have a chance to establish the on demand nursing from the get go, and she had a bunch of bottles - they were all my milk/colostrum - but that may have caused some of the early issues that I had. Things were MUCH easier with Trixie, and I don't think it was because I had a VBAC, I think it was because I knew how to nurse and was able to nurse her every time she cried that first day. Also, Lilah was given a pacifier because she was crying any time I wasn't touching her. I think we all wanted to give this mom who came here asking questions our perspective and what happened for us.

"Black eyes" have been around forever. EEI Communications' Editorial Eye newsletters feature reader-submitted black eyes, or mistakes in print. Imagine those mistakes on your cake, and you have the inspiration for 10 Unfortunate Cakes, which in turn inspired this blog post.
A birthday cake with a misspelled name or worse can be eaten without too much fuss (it is a cake, after all), but a manuscript filled with errors and contradictions is quite embarrassing. When you're working with an editor, such as the ones here at The Happy Guy Marketing, or with a book editor, here are ten crucial ingredients to ensure that your book turns out in a way that does you and your subject credit.
Always tell your editor:
- The exact spelling of your name, or any important name in the book – especially in nonfiction. Just ask Geri in the article.
The spelling of the name should be consistent throughout. The exception might be if you're tracing a family name or noting errors in the recording of a name over time, in which case the editor should be alerted.
- Any important dates that need to be kept consistent.
- Precise place names. Angola, Indiana is different than the African nation.
- Foreign-language words, which can be embarrassing if misused. For example, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used the wrong Russian word with her gift of the "Reset" button. (As an aside, Opechatka is Russian for 'typo').
- Any obscure term thrown in, such as a German beer law in a food article.
- Correct quote attributes. For example, a writer could write, "John Wayne said, 'Give me liberty or give me death.'" Actually, the famous quote by Patrick Henry reads: "It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
- Any information from the Internet that is not yet verified.
- Whether or not your controversial scientific book has been peer-reviewed (vetted for accuracy). Medical terms always need to be checked.
- Photo captions that need to be checked. RegretTheError.com has some fine ones.
- Any copyrighted material that you need permission to use. You can slip in a poetic quote, but the editor might not realize that you're copying Ella Fitzgerald's lyrics. No joke. "Fair use" is misunderstood.
I can't guarantee that writing and editing your book will be a piece of cake. However, communicating with your editor (and proofreader) will ensure that when you're showing off your book to agents and publishers, you can feel proud of your book. A publishing contract will be…the icing on the cake!

In his book on Colonial American English, Richard Lederer reports that the term "fire and candle" meant the home or to keep a home in the 17th-century British American colonies.
A 1683 New York petition for a new charter stated,
"And if any ffreeman should bee absent out of the Citty a space of Twelve moneths and not keep fire and candle and pay Scott and lott should lose his freedom."
In 1696, part of the verdict in the case of Ann Richbell against the people of Rye, New York, stated,
"The Pattent with the rest of Papers needful Given to the Jury, and the Sheriffe sworn to Keepe them from fire & candles & etc untill they bringe in their verdict."
The term probably evolved from the definition of curfew, which was the name of a law, established during the reign of the English king, William, the conqueror, by which the people were commanded to dispense with fire and candle at eight o'clock at night.
The law was abolished in the reign of Henry I, but afterwards it signified the time at which the curfew formerly took place. The word curfew is derived, probably, from couvre few, or cover fire.

June 22, 1995
Ms. Judith Horowitz Richter
Office of the General Counsel
University of Maryland Medical Systems
22 South Green Street
Baltimore, Maryland 21201
Dear Ms. Richter:
This is in response to your June 5, 1995, inquiry regarding the applicability of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) to the records of medical residents. As discussed further below, the records of medical residents are not protected by FERPA.
FERPA generally protects a student's privacy interests in education records. "Education records" are defined as:
those records, files, documents, and other materials which (i) contain information directly related to a student; and (ii) are maintained by an educational agency or institution, or by a person acting for such agency or institution.
20 U.S.C. § 1232g(a)(4). The term "student" is defined as "any individual who is or has been in attendance at an educational agency or institution and regarding whom the agency or institution maintains education records." 34 CFR § 99.3
A medical resident who works at a hospital is not a "student" as that term is defined in FERPA. The individual has received the Doctor of Medicine degree--the terminal degree for the profession--from a medical school and has completed his or her education as a "student." In most states, persons who receive a medical degree may not practice medicine without supervision until they have completed a period of residency and passed a State licensing examination. As medical residents, the individuals refine their skills and their work is evaluated for the purpose of determining whether they should be licensed to practice medicine. Evaluative records pertaining to their practical experience as doctors who have completed their education are not "education records" under FERPA. They are not directly related to students in attendance at educational agencies or institutions.
I trust that the above information satisfactorily responds to your inquiry. Should you have further questions regarding this matter, or FERPA in general, please do not hesitate to contact this Office again.

Markham is re-engineering its future by carefully managing growth and changing development patterns. To this end, Markham Centre development will continue to be measured and evaluated on the principles and best practices of sustainable development.
Our Performance Measures which are now correlated with Canada Green Building Councils LEED® New Construction and Major Renovations, Version 1.0 plus anticipated correlations with CaGBC LEED® Neighbourhood Development, Version 1.0, are designed to be a dynamic part of the living legacy that we're building for future generations. The Measures will be reviewed and the results monitored annually. They will also be updated regularly to reflect the newest technologies and the most up-to-date best practices. Markham's plan to continue to involve its citizens in creating world-class benchmarks for sustainable development is evidence of the City's long-term commitment to creating a progressive, sustainable urban downtown community.
The protection and enhancement of the Rouge River valley lands and its tributaries as an environmental system while creating an integrated open space system. The protection of existing natural heritage features for future generations is the primary goal. A passive recreational trail network is proposed to recognize existing boundaries while affording recreational opportunities in a series of connected urban parks.
The Build Form theme focuses on the lots and block pattern, view and vistas, building placement and the promotion of pedestrian oriented streets. Highway 7 is to be transformed into an urban boulevard while keeping its role as an important component of the road and transit network. Additional lighting, sidewalks and trails, and high quality architectural standards will help to make the new downtown core a pedestrian-friendly environment. Build Form will support the urban core while concentrating on ecologically sustainable development.
To protect the environment of the valley lands, effective management of urban runoff and storm water is critically important. Green Infrastructure strategies will focus on initiatives that affect air quality, water conservation, waste reduction and efficient energy use.
In order to make Markham Centre a people place, considerable attention will be given to the design of public parks and facilities, streetscapes and major gathering places. Social and cultural considerations will be taken into account to ensure that Markham's new downtown is welcoming to all.
A focus on rapid transit and other non-automotive modes of travel will help to ensure that the pedestrian gains equality with the automobile in Markham Centre. The City's Transportation Planning Study identifies road network improvements, rapid transit corridors, effective new policies and educational initiatives to relieve congestion.
