Chris Yost Spins with "Scarlet Spider"
Kaine, the unstable clone of Peter Parker first seen in the infamous "Clone Saga," received a new lease on life thanks to the events of "Spider-Island." With his body no longer rapidly degenerating, Kaine takes up the mantle of the Scarlet Spider-first held by Spider-Clone Ben Reilly-and considers what sort of hero he wants to be. After a debut outing in the "Point One" anthology, Kaine's ongoing "Scarlet Spider" series debuts in January, written by Chris Yost with art by Ryan Stegman.
Marvel held its latest "Next Big Thing" press conference call Monday afternoon, with Yost, Stegman, Senior Editor Stephen Wacker, and Associate Editor Tom Brennan on the line, as well as moderator James Viscardi. CBR News was on hand as the creators revealed new information about the series, including possible love interests and Scarlet Spider's first villain.
Kaine was not always meant to get his own series, Wacker said, but thought it sounded like a good idea to spin out of "Spider-Island." "Plus, I just like the name," he said.
"This is a guy who used to be semi-crazy, a full-on supervillain, but now he's cured," Yost said. Kaine goes on the road for "a journey of self discovery," now that he's not crazy and covered in scars.
"This is a guy who, for his entire life since he was born in a test tube, was dying, and now he's not," Yost added.
Wacker said that Kaine knowing he was going to die was somewhat freeing but, "now that he knows, oh shit, I might have to stick around for a while, he might have to deal with the consequences of his past actions."
Stegman said it was "intimidating" to redesign the costume, doing away with the "beloved hoodie," but Wacker said that Stegman approached the job with enthusiasm. Yost added, "this is something that Ryan clearly put a lot of thought into-this is a character that will be around for a while."
Unlike Peter Parker, Kaine's body language is not "over the top animated," and bears more marks of age. "He's been through more-not that Peter hasn't, but he's been through the rough stuff," Stegman said. Wacker added that, while Peter is in his mid-20s, Kaine is probably in his mid-30s.
Yost said that the costume can do "all sorts of fancy things," like cloak, "which Kaine will find pretty damn useful." "It's also got Siri," Wacker joked, referring to the popular iPhone app.
The first arc sees Kaine travelling through Houston on the way to Mexico, "but he saves a life-he does something good." This trips him up, though, when a villain called Salamander "comes to finish the job." "He's bad news," Yost said.
After the first arc, Kaine will face the Assassin's Guild. "He is known to them, so this will be his past catching up with him," Yost said. "He's done bad things, like kill people for money, which puts him in the sights of the Assassin's Guild."
Wacker added that events from "Grim Hunt" will also play into early stories.
Yost said "it was the plan from Day 1 to set it in Houston," with Wacker noting that it was one of the most populous cities in the US "but not well served by Marvel's heroes."
"You're going to get to know Houston the way you know New York" from comics, Yost said, adding that there will be a new supporting cast plus southwestern heroes.
Wacker added that, like Opal City in DC Comics' "Starman," Houston will itself become a character in the book.
Yost provides Stegman with reference on the city of Houston, Stegman said, and he also uses Google Earth to check locations. "We also have a trip to Houston," Stegman said, which is planned for the next few weeks.
"We've actually had a ton of fans from Houston write in, literally pages of information about Houston, what the people are like, what the city is like, to make it feel like Houston," Yost said.
"And of course, when we inevitably screw up, those fans will write in again," Wacker joked.
On the subject of Spider-Man itself, "Spider-Man looms pretty large over Kaine," Yost said, and Spidey will figure things out eventually.
Asked what sets Scarlet Spider apart from other Spider-family books like "Venom," Wacker said that "Flash Thompson always wanted to be a hero," and that is now happening. "Kaine originally didn't have an altruistic bone in his body," he added.
"He's not going to wake up in issue 2 and say, hey, I'm a hero-his instincts are really bad," Yost said. "He didn't have Aunt May, he had the Jackal-his first instinct, the quickest way is probably to kill somebody."
Brennan added that a question of the series is, "How do you combine the idea of great power and great responsibility with someone who would seem to contradict that, and still become a hero."
Asked about differences in character movement, Stegman said that Kaine moves "even more spider-like" than Peter, and is also "more ruthless and agressive, and is not worried about not hurting somebody."
"Ripping someone's face off is kind of a default move," Yost said. The stingers or claws also lend a fighting style different from Spidey's webs.
Wacker said that Scarlet Spider will appear in other Spider-books, but probably not much until 2013.
Kaine will have a love interest, Yost said. "He might actually have several," he added. "But keep in mind the last love interest he had, he killed, so it may not go as traditionally as Peter Parker's."
Yost and Stegman wanted to create "lots of new stuff," Yost said, and "the location really opened up the world to us."
"Designing lots of new characters is a dream come true for me," Stegman added. "We threw lots of ideas back and forth of what we wanted to do, and we can do anything because it's all new.
Wacker added that, "we were able to bring back some concepts from the '90s Spider-Man books that have been maligned for so long, and do something new with them."
Yost praised Stegman's ability to draw human faces. "There's no Ken-dolls" in the background, Yost said.
"He's so good, that I'm sure [Tom] Brevoort and [Brian Michael] Bendis are going to steal him from me," Wacker said of Stegman.
Noting that Kaine once murdered Doctor Octopus, Yost said that, "Yeah, if he ran into Kaine on the street, he might have a problem with him." But, he added, "there's another Spidey villain that has a bigger problem right now, and that's Kraven."
Asked about possibility of Kaine "ripping Salamander's limbs off over and over," due to the namesake animal's regenerative abilities, all on the call laughed. But, Yost said, "Salamander is not the character's actual name, but because of Kaine's poor understanding of Spanish, that's what he calls him, and because of a tattoo he has on his face."
Scarlet Spider will be part of the broader Marvel universe, but will not join any teams in the near future.
With that, the call wrapped up. "Scarlet Spider" #1 is on sale in January.

FIR should be uploaded within 24 hours says supreme court
|fir should be uploaded with 24 hours, source via - google search, India news.
FIR should be uploaded within 24 hours on the website says supreme court.
The court has directed the police in all the states and union territories to do so.
If the police have no website, the FIR have to be published on the official website of the respective State government.
This will come into effect from November 15 and everyone has to follow the same.
Some are also exempted from this process, cases relating to the insurgency, terrorism and sexual offences including those lodged under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
The judge has also said that these are few which are being exempted but there can be add on later also.
if connectivity is a problem, 48 hours, and if the geographic location to is a difficulty, then 72 hours maximum.
This verdict was the result of a public interest litigation filed by the Youth Lawyers Association of India.
Many state representatives have also expressed their view and opinions on this process.
Odisha expressed the worry that if FIR is uploaded, accused persons may flee the jurisdiction of the police precinct in which they were booked.
To this, judge Nagappan said, "You don't want the accused to know about the FIR? Do you want to hide it from him? Always your police machinery is colluding."
Many are positive and want this system to be followed by every state.

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) January 11, 2013
In 1999, Congress passed Public Law 106-50, which established the Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act. The goal was to generate 3% of the total value of all prime contracts and subcontract awards to be set-aside for owned and controlled Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses. Congress continued to recognize the needs of U.S. Veterans by passing the Veterans Benefits Act on December 16, 2003. The Veteran Benefits Act was a specialized procurement program that gave federal procurement officers the ability to restrict the competition to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. These contract set-asides would be awarded to these Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses that could meet the criteria of the procurement program. Once passed by Congress, the Small Business Administration (SBA) established a program now known as the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concern Program (SDVOSBC).
The Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concern Program (SDVOSBC) requires a business owner to prove ownership and control, as well as establish guidelines for sole source and set-aside procurement opportunities. The Vendor Information Pages (VIP) at VETBIZ.gov (Veteran Online Business Registry) will require the Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV) to meet the following specifications to be considered eligible for the SDVOSBC program:
- Must have a service-connected disability that has been determined by the Department of Veteran Affairs or the Department of Defense
- Must be considered small under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to procurement
- The Service Disabled Veteran must unconditionally own 51%, control and manage daily operations, and hold the highest officer position in their business
Most businesses seeking federal contracts are oblivious to the benefits that the federal government currently have available to them. When registering for the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business Concern Program it is important that all the required documentation is provided. Not providing the proper documentation or completing the registration properly can completely derail the efforts of the applicant. To ensure a business provides all accepted documentation for certification, most businesses decide to use a third party registration firm to help facilitate the process. Eric Knellinger, President of US Federal Contractor Registration commented, "Registering a business as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business gives them the opportunity to take advantage of this relatively new policy. Veteran Affair awards have increased dramatically in the past few years due to the VA's special priority to develop Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses in America. That 3% available to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business is more than 15 billion dollars annually of paramount contracting dollars. US Federal Contractor Registration will register a business in SAM, get that business certified as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business, and market their business directly to federal buyers."
A business must first be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) to be approved to receive federal contracting awards. SAM Registration must be completed before a Service-Disabled Veteran can register his or her business at VETBIZ.gov. In July of 2012, SAM replaced the past procurement website of CCR.gov (Central Contractor Registration) to start the merger of all government procurement websites. According to SAM.gov, FBO.gov, WDOL (Wage Determinations Online), eSRS/FSRS (Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System/FFATA Sunaward Reporting System), and CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) are said to be incorporated into SAM in 2013 and 2014. US Federal Contractor Registration will register a business in SAM as well as create a business's VETBIZ.gov registration to qualify for the Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concern Program (SDVOSBC). Woah...Did everyone get all that? Mr. Knellinger goes on to state, "The complexity of the process is why so many veterans have failed to complete the registration. Veterans that have given so much for our country find these types of roadblocks when they try to access their entitled set-asides. This is exactly why we at US Federal Contractor Registration specialize in Veteran Owned and Disabled Veteran Owned business registrations. We want to make sure that the men and women that gave so much, get what is rightfully theirs."
US Federal Contractor Registration is currently offering a free evaluation and review of vendors' government registration, including their SAM registration. During the evaluation, a Placement Specialist will review the company's government contractor registration to ensure it is complete, contains the correct information and is optimized to help them win government contracts.
US Federal Contractor Registration's BBB rating is an A- thanks to the quality of their service and responsiveness to customers. To request a free evaluation and assessment by a Placement Specialist for your business, call the Contractor Helpline at (877) 252-2700 Ext. 1 or visit our website at https://www.uscontractorregistration.com/.

Biocontrol And Pesticide Compatibility Resources
There are a number of resources to help you find compatible pesticides for your biocontrol program.
• See Pesticide Side Effects Lists at Koppert.com and Biobest.be, or download Syngenta's Integrated Crop Management chart.
• For beneficial nematode compatibility, use the Becker Underwood Compatibility Chart to learn how harmful a given pesticide may be to a given beneficial and how long any residues will remain toxic.
• Biobest provides a Side Effects app for iPhone or Android.
For best results using pesticides in a biocontrol program, use spot sprays rather than widespread applications. Some growers start out with beneficials, then clean up any remaining pests with sprays before sale. Some use biocontrol on stock plants and pesticides on finished plants. Often the pests are less resistant to pesticides if they have not been sprayed while on stock plants. Be aware that pesticide residues on incoming cuttings may be toxic to beneficials.

Kcal 190 Fat 10.6g Fat(sats) 7.4g Carbs 20.1g
They say the best thing to do if you fall off a horse is to get straight back on...well after this weeks earlier travesity from the Thorntons range (see Vienesse truffle bar) I decided to revisit Thorntons sooner rather than later, in hope of rekindling my faith in the 'master chocolatiers'.
This bar offered a 'chocolate truffle centre with natrual ginger oil and crystallised ginger pieces, enrobed in rich dark chocolate'. It came in bar that was little over 35g - not overly massive but due to its rich taste did a job in satisfying my hunger. The bar had a strong pleasant ginger aroma - thankfully this was also translated in the taste of the bar. Asthetically this bar wasnt anything outstanding - it was a long fingered bar with a slightly ribbed ripple effect...what did look appertising was the truffle centre which had a particularly smooth looking texture.
Txturewise the bar had a nice contrast. The outside coating of dark chocolate had a nice solid thickness that provided a nice cracking effect agaisnt the soft buttery truffle like centre. The centre, despite its smooth looking appearance had a slightly grainy texture which was accountable due to the presence of the crystallysed ginger pieces. This combination of thick outer chocolate and smooth centre provided a nice variation of textures.
Tastewise the bar was very good. The dark chocolate coating provided a rich cocoa taste that wasnt suprising due to its 60% min cocoa solids content. The chocolate although initially slightly bitter transitioned into a more creamy flavour once melted in the mouth. The majority of the ginger flavour was delivered in the truffle centre through the both the ginger oil and crystallysed pieces. The ginger flavour was strong yet not overpowering, and gave the bar a very distinct and enjoyable taste - very nice indeed.
Overall i must admit I do enjoy writing reviews on bars I enjoy rather than dislike...and luckily this is one I enjoyed. This is another great tasting truffle bar from Thorntons and the classic combination of ginger and dark chocolate is amalgamated in this bar very well. The mixture of textures with the thick outer chocolate and smooth truffle centre is nothing short of superb; whilst the quality of the dark chocolate and ginger ingredients is really very good. Areas of slight improvement could be the size, aroma and asthetics of the bar but that is being very pedantic...this bar has restored my confidence in Thorntons - phew :)

France-based Phillips, who was omitted from the side who lost 26-12 because he was unable to attend Wales's training camp in Poland because of club commitments, is expected to be among a number of changes as interim coach Rob Howley seeks an immediate response from his squad.
Dan Biggar, Richard Hibbard and Justin Tipuric are also pressing for starting places for the Test at the Millennium Stadium.
Wales on Monday delayed their team announcement by 24 hours after indicating they had not given up hope of Jamie Roberts being fit. The side will now be named on Wednesday.
Roberts suffered mild concussion following a knock which forced him to retire in the first half of Wales's 26-12 defeat by Argentina on Saturday.
Alun-Wyn Jones underwent a scan on a shoulder injury on Monday night and hopes of him playing again in the autumn Test series appear to be diminishing. Ryan Jones, Ashley Beck and Jonathan Davies are also battling to be fit to face Samoa for a match that is crucial to Wales's hopes of remaining in the top eight ahead of the World Cup draw in December.
Given Samoa's physical demolition of Canada at the weekend, Wales defence coach Shaun Edwards said Roberts was "vital" to their hopes of bouncing back from the defeat by Argentina.
"For me, Jamie Roberts is vital because he is the defensive captain," said Edwards. "Everyone is hoping he will be right for Friday night. If he is not, then someone has got to step up in his place and try to fill his boots, which are quite large boots to fill.
"But I am a big believer that rugby is a team game. If your forwards don't perform, your backs can't perform."

From: A. J. Gevaerd - Revista UFO <aj.nul> Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2011 12:56:47 -0200 Archived: Wed, 02 Nov 2011 11:22:32 -0400 Subject: First Possible Crop Circles Of 2011 In Brazil Dear Listers: What may appear to be the first crop formations this year in Brazil have just been found near the city of Bom Jesus, State of Santa Catarina. They are two circular marks of about 12 meters in diameter apart from each other by some 150 meters, in a crop of wheat ready for harvesting. The design of them is impressive. The report was made by newsman Ivo Luis Dohl, former member of the Brazilian UFO Magazine. The formations were discovered on October 31 at 2:45 pm and it is believed that at least one of them was formed in broad daylight. Both circles are only 300 meters from highway SC 467, with heavy traffic used day and night. It is to be emphasized that Brazil had its first crop formations in history in November 2008, only a few kilometers from where these new ones were found. Also, the phenomena repeated itself in the years of 2009 e 2010, always in that very same area and in this very same period of the year. Details and photos at the Brazilian UFO Magazine website: http://tinyurl.com/6fc2vgd http://tinyurl.com/6hz8kz8 I am expecting more info at any time to travel to the location to investigate the formations.

UNICEF calls for increased public investment in adolescent health to respond to high risk behaviours among student
SKOPJE 26 January 2009: At a press conference to launch the findings of the National School Based Health Survey, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Representative, Mr. Sheldon Yett called for increased public investment in adolescent health and better enforcement of existing laws and policies to address high risk behaviours among adolescents in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The survey conducted among school children aged 13-15, reveals significantly high prevalence of alcohol use and exposure to tobacco, as well as high levels of injuries and violence in schools.
The survey revealed that 36 per cent of students aged 13-15 had at least one drink containing alcohol in the thirty days before being surveyed, with significantly higher rates for boys than girls. Exposure to tobacco was also high and increasing with 11% per cent students having smoked cigarettes on one or more days during the thirty days before being surveyed and some 70 percent reported other people smoking in their presence. A 2002 study among the same age group found that 8% of students in the country smoked.
Responding to the high level of violence and incidence of injury, Mr. Yett emphasised that, "For most adolescents, school is the most important setting outside of the family. We need to support teachers, and school administrators in providing a protective environment." The survey revealed that during the year prior to being surveyed, one in every three students reported being involved in physical fight and five percent of the students said they had brought a gun or other weapon to school. The survey indicated that rates of school-based violence in the country are among the highest in Europe.
While the study had been conducted in previous years by non-governmental organisations, this is the first time the survey was conduced by the National Institute for Public Health and was made possible through financial support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). The study responds to a lack of systematic surveillance of health risk behaviors among adolescents in the country. The Ministry of Health is using the study to develop baselines key priority areas for the Adolescent Health Strategy (2008-2013).
The survey follows a standard methodology that has been used in 79 countries worldwide. The methodology was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with UNICEF, UNESCO, and UNAIDS; and with technical assistance from the US Centers for Disease Control. (CDC)

What Is a Dental Hygienist?
Job Description and Career Information
A dental hygienist provides preventative oral care under a dentist's supervision. He or she cleans patients' teeth and examines their mouths for signs of disease and damage. Hygienists teach them how to maintain good oral health. Their scope of practice—what services they are legally allowed to deliver—differs according to the rules of the state in which they work.
Quick Facts
- Dental hygienists who worked full-time earned a median annual salary of $72,910 in 2016. Those who had part-time jobs, as about half of them do, earned $35.05 hourly.
- In 2014, 201,000 people worked in this occupation.
- Some dental hygienists work in multiple dental practices.
- The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has designated this a "Bright Outlook" occupation because of its exceptional job outlook. Employment, through at least 2024, is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations.
Roles and Responsibilities
These are some typical job duties of dental hygienists found in job announcements on Indeed.com:
- "Complete preliminary examinations on new dental service patients"
- "Take X-rays of patients' teeth and develop them for dentist's use"
- "Educate patient on office procedures and treatments"
- "Complete dental prophylaxis by cleaning deposits and stains from teeth and from beneath gum margins"
- "Evaluate overall oral health, examining oral cavity for signs of periodontal disease or possible cancers, including sores, recessed & bleeding gums, and oral lesions"
- "Administer local anesthetics"
- "Chart decay, disease, conditions, and any treatment recommended by dentist"
- "Stock all needed supplies and maintain equipment"
How to Become a Dental Hygienist
To work as a dental hygienist, you will have to graduate from an accredited dental hygiene school with either an associate degree (most common), a certificate, a bachelor's degree, or a master's degree.
You can search for accredited programs in the United States or Canada on the American Dental Association website.
After graduating, you will have to get a license from the dental board in the state in which you want to practice. You will have to pass a written exam and a clinical exam. Consult individual state dental boards to learn about specific requirements. The American Dental Association website features a directory of state dental boards.
What Soft Skills Do You Need?
People who possess certain characteristics are better suited for this occupation than are others. In addition to your degree and license, you will need the following soft skills:
- Compassion: A desire to help people is necessary for this career as it is for others in the healthcare field.
- Manual Dexterity: You need excellent fine motor skills to grasp instruments and work inside patients' mouths.
- Interpersonal Skills: When dealing with patients, you must be able to relate to them, recognize when they are uncomfortable or anxious, and reassure them.
- Attention to Detail: Without the ability to pay attention to detail, you will be unable to perform several aspects of your job. When doing cleanings, it will let you notice stains and other things you can treat. When performing examinations, you will be able to detect potential health problems that will require the dentist's attention.
- Physical Stamina: Excellent stamina will allow you to spend a lot of time on your feet and bending over while treating patients.
What Will Employers Expect From You?
Dental practices, in addition to requiring specific technical skills, expect their workers to meet other requirements. Here are some that we found in actual job announcements on Indeed.com:
- "Must have a desire to challenge themselves with new and cutting edge technologies"
- "Well presented and professional in demeanor"
- "Must be a team player and have an outgoing personality"
- "Be passionate about helping people"
- "Proactive and will recognize areas of concern above and beyond periodontal disease"
- "Ability to focus in fast paced environment"
What Is the Difference Between Dental Hygienists and Dental Assistants?
Dental hygienists and dental assistants, while both work in dental practices under dentists' supervision, differ in their job duties, educational requirements, and earnings, as well as the number of hours they typically work.
Dental assistants escort patients to exam and treatment rooms, prepare them for examinations and procedures, and sterilize instruments and hand them to dentists. They also schedule appointments and keep records. They may take and develop X-rays. Unlike dental hygienists, they do not clean or examine patients' teeth. In some states, they are allowed to perform tasks like applying sealants and fluoride.
Dental assistants don't spend as much time preparing for this career as hygienists spend preparing for theirs. In some states', they must complete a year-long program at a community college or vocational school, while in others only on-the-job training is needed.
Dental assistants earned a median annual salary of $36,940 in 2016, only slightly more than half of what hygienists made. Unlike hygienists, their jobs were usually full-time.

Jacque Fresco Quotes About TodayQuotes about: Today
We're running into a lot of new problems today because of what we emphasize in this culture. The word 'success' to the average person means earning a lot of money and having a home, two cars, children in college. Success to me is entirely different to what success is to the average person. Success is being a successful human being in terms of pursuing what you believe in. If you believe in making paintings, writing poetry, writing music. If this is what you really want, you're successful to yourself. But to be successful to your culture means to sell yourself short of what you really want
If orange trees grew all over the country, you couldn't sell oranges. Do you understand that? So, all our decision making is based upon scarcity or the availability of resources. If we have a shortage of any kind of resource, we put all the labs to work on making substitute materials. People always worry about 'What if we run out of a certain material?', but we have enough technology today to make thousands of different substitutes.
If we are genuinely concerned about the environment and the fellow human beings, and want to end territorial disputes, war, crime, poverty, hunger, and the other problems that confront us today, the intelligent use of science and technology are the tools with which to achieve a new direction – one that will serve all people, and not just a select few.
The majority of the people of the world today are unsane, not insane, unsane meaning having been exposed to methods of evaluation that have long rendered obsolete, our language in the future will change to a saner language where we have no argument in it, 'can there be such a language?' there is, when engineers talk to each other, it's not subject to interpretation, they use math, they use descriptive systems, if I interpreted what another engineer said in the way I think he meant it: you couldn't build bridges, dams, power transmission lines. The language has to have meaning
We must get away from this limited *I did this and I did that* and the self-centeredness, that dominates our society Today. It must be a privilege to serve members of society. Not that we want rewards or medals or honor for what we do, because it is just an honor to do it, if you cannot work for that, than you missed the boat. You don't understand the teachings of the wisest men ever lived.
In a monetary system, most of us live near our work with a house, car, and lifestyle we can afford (or, all too often, cannot afford), rather than the one we prefer. We are only as free as our purchasing power permits. Even many wealthy people today select a residence mainly to impress others with their status. Lacking a true sense of self worth, many live to impress others.

President Nicolas Sarkozy's heavy-handed drive to deport Eastern European gipsies to their native Romanian and Bulgaria has already drawn fire from the Vatican, the United Nations, the opposition and some Right-wingers.
But Mr Kouchner – a longtime human rights advocate - became the highest-profile cabinet minister to express reservations.
"I'm not happy with what has happened. I've been working with the Roma for 25 years. I'm not happy about this polemic," he told RTL radio, adding that France's image abroad had been tainted by the issue.
"What can I do to help the situation? Resign? I've thought about it," he said.
But the charismatic former Socialist, recruited by Mr Sarkozy as part of his first politically and ethnically diverse cabinet, said that he intended to stay on as "to leave would be to desert, to accept what's happening".
"I think that above all it's necessary to have laws respected - it doesn't amuse me, I do it with a heavy heart," he said.
Hervé Morin, the defence minister who leads the centrist Nouveau Centre party and harbours presidential ambitions, also lashed out at the anti-Roma rhetoric of his own government, which he said was based on "hatred, fear and the scapegoat".
François Fillon, the prime minister, said he would be having "words" with Mr Morin and pointed out that Mr Kouchner had forcefully backed France's Roma policy last week at an annual ambassador's conference.
Mr Fillon, the French prime minister admitted to a "malaise" in government ranks over the handling of the Roma issue and "the way in which this policy has been presented by some."
The cabinet tensions came amid speculation that President Sarkozy, whose poll ratings are perilously low, will carry out a wide-ranging reshuffle next month, possibly changing the prime minister himself.
Observers noted that Mr Kouchner's resignation threat would change little as "the French doctor", as he is known, is heavily tipped to be one of those ousted in the shake-up.
The once hugely popular politician was seen as a great catch for Mr Sarkozy. But since taking up office in 2007, he has by his own admission been obliged to accept many setbacks, notably when Mr Sarkozy rolled out the red carpet for Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, for a five-day state visit.
Now he now looks like a lame duck, watching humiliatingly from the sidelines as the bulk of foreign policy is made at the Elysée by Claude Guéant – Mr Sarkozy's powerful secretary general - and Jean-David Levitte, his diplomatic advisor.
In recent weeks, Mr Kouchner has faced accusations of allowing France to lose its diplomatic superpower status under his watch.
In July, the outgoing ambassador to Senegal, Jean-Christophe Rufin, said France's foreign policy was prey to African lobbies and that Mr Kouchner was "totally marginalised".
Two former heavyweight foreign ministers, Alain Juppé and Hubert Védrine, then warned of '"the unprecedented weakening of (France's) diplomatic and cultural networks", whose budget was, they said, well under that of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Mr Kouchner retorted that his detractors were being unfair in their attacks. "Criticism is easy but the art (of running a ministry) is difficult," he said.

11 Sweet facts about Ji Soo you probably didn't know
We love actor Kim Ji Soo of Fantastic and Scarlet Heart: Ryeo, and the reasons are uncountable! Let's talk 9 sweet facts about Ji Soo! Scroll down to reveal them all!
Update on his health condition: Since our last update, Ji Soo has returned to Fantastic filming site as of Sept. 26. Though he's not fully discharged and still recovering, he returned to work because he couldn't be absent from filming for too long. At the moment, Ji Soo's working under his doctor's guidance, according to his agency.
1. When he was younger, he was a judo fighter
In elementary school, he dreamed of becoming a professional judo fighter. He dropped it in middle school and, soon after, started acting.
2. Ji Soo's celebrity crush, out of everyone he's filmed with, is Kim Hee Sun
And everyone includes his good friends, Ryoo Joon Yeol and EXO's Suho!
"Looks-wise, She's so pretty. Heavenly beautiful," Ji Soo explained why he picked his Angry Mom costar Kim Hee Sun. "She was so beautiful that I couldn't believe I was filming with her. Personality-wise, though we had quite a bit of an age gap, we communicated well because she was always ready to listen to us."
3. Ji Soo got his start as a musical actor
In middle school, he followed a friend, who was studying acting, to his acting school and learned to act himself. He got involved in the theater his acting teacher had established and started acting for an audience. Above photo is from the 2010 musical, The Dreamers, from college.
4. Ji Soo was a semifinalist in JYP's open audition
He auditioned for the acting segment of the 2012 JYP openaudition and got second place for acting out a scene from The Moon that Embraces the Sun. JYP's open auditions are known to be very competitive. It's where GOT7's JB and Jr. got their start.
5. Many think he's a Yoo Ah In lookalike
They do look alike, especially when they smile!
6. Ji Soo is freaking tall!
He's 6'1".
7. Ji Soo's got lots of friends
He's friends with Nam Joo Hyuk, Ryoo Joon Yeol, EXO's Suho, Byun Yo Han, Lee Won Geun, Shin Jae Ha, VIXX's N, and more.
A funny side story: When EXO's Suho told his manager that he's going to go see Ji Soo, his manager totally thought Ji Soo was a girl. (Ji Soo is a common girl's name in Korea) Suho told him that they'll meet at a cafe in a hotel. The manager got surprised and asked, "Are you going (to a hotel) with a girl??"
8. Ji Soo went to all men's middle school and all men's high school
He thinks that's why he's closer to actors than to actresses!
9. Ji Soo loves dogs
He has two adorable dogs: Gong Joo and Gap Soon. The former means a princess, and the latter is an old but cute girl's name (Think Sam Soon of My Lovely Sam Soon).
10. He wants his girl to be innocent and sexy!
When asked to pick one between the two, an innocent or a sexy girl, Ji Soo immediately said both!
"It'd be nice if they coexisted. (I said both) without even realizing what I was saying!" Ji Soo said, sniggering shyly.
11. He prefers an older girl to a younger girl
In the same interview as above, when asked to pick between an older or a younger girl, he went for older!
Which sweet fact about Ji Soo surprises you the most? Anything else you'd like to add? Share with us in the comments below!

PUG takes sustainability very seriously.
Its why we use solar power, why we foster cooperative relationships with hospitals and communities, and its why education is so important. Our projects need a knowledge infrastructure in order to be sustained over the long run. We've been successful thanks to our partnerships with local Gambians, but the lack of sophisticated technical support in-country has been a recurring challenge. Thats all about to change. In partnership with The Gambia Technical Training Institute (GTTI) and Solar Energy International (SEI), Power Up Gambia is developing a curriculum for solar energy systems technical training at GTTI.
Project Details:
Where: The Gambia Technical Training Institute (GTTI) in Banjul, The Gambia
When: October 2012June 2013
How: Our project is divided up into three phases.
1. The Initial Phase consists of training the trainers. Two GTTI instructors, Baboucarr Njie and James Gomez, are currently enrolled in SEI's online training courses. In addition to gaining a technical understanding of photovoltaic (PV) systems, Njie and Gomez will review the SEI curriculum to determine if it is an appropriate fit for their own students. The online training has been funded by a grant from the International Foundation, and it is midway through completion.
2. The Second Phase consists of a hands-on two week workshop on PV installation held at the GTTI facility in Kanifing, The Gambia. Participants in the workshop would be selected from GTTI staff, students, and hospital maintenance staff who work with PUG-sponsored PV systems at their respective hospitals. Two SEI solar-certified instructors would run the workshop, while the two trained GTTI instructors would co-teach and help with translation and logistics. This would allow the GTTI instructors to gain experience teaching the course to Gambian students while under the supervision of the SEI instructors. By the end of the workshop, two types of PV systems would be built to be used in future classes. This second phase, therefore, is crucial and accomplishes three major objectives. This Second Phase is tentatively scheduled for August 2012 and PUG is currently seeking funding for this project.
It provides:
- further training to the GTTI instructors in the SEI curriculum
- training to hospital maintenance staff who currently work on PUG sponsored solar power systems, and
- two demonstration solar power systems to be maintained at GTTI for the use of future students in the renewable energy curriculum
3. The Third Phase consists of licensing the use of the SEI curriculum materials for a GTTI-run technical training program, followed by student evaluation and critique of the course. PUG would provide the GTTI students with materials to construct other small PV systems that PUG would then help place, at the end of the course, in small rural clinics to provide light and electricity. In this way, students would have the opportunity not only to learn how to build PV systems, but also to see the real benefits of their work in rural community clinics, providing a sense of pride and accomplishment. This Third Phase is tentatively scheduled for October 2012 through June 2013 and PUG is currently seeking funding for this project.

Hard fiberboards are formed with fibre of wood and made by high pressure compression and temperature
during a pressing process. The high density boards satisfy the most demanding applications as a result of
tempering or other treatments that achieve great physical and mechanical characteristics and excellent
dimensional stability. Raw and lacquered hardboard panels are used in many applications including
construction, packaging, furniture, upholstery, door skins, toys, and automobile and caravan interiors.
NFB hardboard is required for packaging of fruits, vegetables and mineral water bottles because it is a
natural product.
The unique wet-process production system involved in the NFB hardboard manufacture assembles a
smooth side and a mesh pattern on the reverse – which is valued by the packaging industry as an anti-skid
surface. In addition, special NFB hardboard can be produced for roof underlay board applications with very
high resistance to humidity and water absorption.
NFB hardboard is available in a wide range of products and thicknesses to satisfy customer requirements
and is also used in highly specialized applications, including perforated boards for moulding. NFB producers
can offer customers additional special services including cut to size, and drilling and milling.

Society & Culture:History
Episode 38 - Suspicious Minds: The Paranoid Cinema of the 1970s
On this month's episode we're joined by Fraser McCallum to discuss the paranoid cinema of the 1970s that emerged in the midst of assassinations, Watergate, and an array of government misdeeds that had been exposed in the previous decade.
In particular we examine The Conversation (the trailer for which begins this episode, 1974), The Parallax View (1974), Three Days of the Condor (1975), and - of course - All the President's Men (1976).
We discuss why these films emerged, what they say about the United States during this era, and consider whether we might see a reemergence of the genre in the wake of Trump.
n.b. There is a slight issue with one of the microphones that crops up ever now and again, but it shouldn't be too distracting.
Thanks again for listening and we'll be back in a few weeks with an episode looking at the 'long, hot summer' of race rioting in 1967.

Ever since I revealed that I invest for my son's marriage in the year-end personal financial audit, several friends, and readers have chided me about this:
- 'Why do you want to invest for your kids marriage?'
- 'Our kids should fund their own marriage'
- 'Weddings should be simple affairs devoid of all lavishness'
Journalist Sunderajan Padmanabhan narrated over email this delightful anecdote of a no-frills wedding:
You know whenever i hear people talking about their children's marriage, I get reminded about one friend's marriage, which i consider as the best I have ever attended.
Maybe I can recall it for you.
I am sure you have heard of journalist-cum-theatre-activist Gnani Shankaran (this is his website in Tamil). I am talking about his wedding.
He and his wife, Padma, again a theatre activist, had their wedding at the Egmore Museum theatre about 30 years ago.
They had organised a play and invited all their friends. the wedding happened during the interval. a common friend announced that the two are to get married. A nadaswaram recital played in the background on a tape recorder. the groom and the bride exchanged garlands. An encore went up, that's all. The marriage was over.
We were all asked to move out for refreshment: a packet of mixture, one ladoo and a cup of hot coffee. after about 10 minutes the bell rang again.
We got back into the auditorium. the play resumed and went on for half an hour or so more.
At the end, we all gathered, congratulated the couple again before returning home. they also took a bus to go back home: no decorated car. No ladies' sangeet. no janwasam, no mehendi, no special bridal wear.
Fairytale frugality! I re-read this story several times. Wish I had married that way!
Delightful as this anecdote maybe, I disagree with the notion that one should not invest for a child's marriage (NB. I have temporarily paused investments due to unexpected recurring expenses)
- The future is unknown and uncertain! My boy could meet his soul mate in school and would like to marry her then! I the need the money even if I offer him a loan for the wedding!
- There could be a shotgun wedding scenario!
If you are thinking, 'there he goes again! Pattu the most pessimistic blogger on www', stop right there!
All I need you to do is to agree with me that the future is unknown and uncertain!
We are clueless about how our children will grow and what they will grow up to be. Let us never ever forget that!
- My sons wedding is an expense for me. Perhaps I will fund 100%, perhaps I will fund 1% of total expenses. It is an expense, period.
- It is a 100% certain expense that will occur in the future (My son could of course choose to avoid wedlock for a variety of reasons!)
- A 100% certain future expense, will affected by inflation (at least 10%)
- Therefore, frugal as I would like to be, I will need to account for inflated frugality (perhaps my wife notions of frugality may evaporate at the sound of marriage!)
- Therefore, I need to plan and invest with a schedule.
- If I do not, I may end up touching my retirement corpus to fund his wedding – a bad thing to do even if it is 1% of total wedding expenses.
- Therefore in view of the above, I invest my for my son's marriage.
- No, allow me to correct that. I am investing to protect my retirement nest egg. Shouldn't you?
Prepare for the worst, pray for the best – A line from the movie, Prisoners
What do you think? Do you agree?

We are proud to state that no other boat around the globe can compare to ours! "PARITETBOAT" is pleased to offer its customers a truly unique product – result of the work of professionals, a harmonic unity of experience, craftsmanship and knowledge.
Not only do we use proven classic technologies, we also incorporate our own project solutions to offer the most comfortable high quality boats. Our customers trust our judgment, because they know that we are ready to produce the best combination of comfort and speed parameters in our products. The boats that we make boast light and sturdy hulls with excellent seakeeping performance.
With that in mind, we have introduced our new architecture for the upper body of our vessels. Along with the underwater fin and the ergonomic surfaces, it allows for minimizing the load on the boat and developing high speed without sacrificing ultimate comfort that is more typical of displacement vessels. Therefore, we can say with assurance that we have achieved the unique blend of quality, comfort and high speed.
Our best creation up to this day is the high-speed yacht LOOKER 440S. This elegant sea vessel allows passengers to feel the dynamics and speed of a racing yacht while enjoying "at home" comfort. Reliability, comfort and speed are the three main components of the LOOKER 440S concept.
We know how important it is to thing of every detail, and therefore we paid special attention to the everyday comfort features.
In the front of the boat, the cockpit has an expansive and ergonomic layout and is equipped wide touch screen map plotter, compass and fish finder and Global Positioning system functions displays. Comfortable thought-through controlling posts allow for two pivoting helm seats to indulge the operators with plush riding experience.
You can monitor entire boat performance from the driver's seat of the boat – anything from electrical system performance to heating and navigation information. The operators can always check on the engine performance, electrical and HVAC systems as well as receiving all navigation information if needed.
Let's follow the layout of the boat from the cockpit into the salon equipped with comfortable couches, auto adjusting tables, soft LED lighting. High quality materials throughout provide for unsurpassed intimate and comfortable environment.
The kitchen was designed with a chef's needs in mind: a gas stove with carbon monoxide detector, a fridge, two sinks, electric kettle and individual cup holders for glasses and utensils. Each plate will stay put thanks to the plate holders.
Multitude of windows allows for soft daylight to fill in the area during daytime, or unforgettable views of sunset and views of star-lit night sky to accompany a conversation.
Are you ready to explore the stateroom? Master stateroom is location in the most convenient central part of the vessel. It is equipped with a double bed, closet and a bathroom. Air conditioning and ventilation systems on the boat provide for temperature comfort individually customized for the travellers. Hot/cold water, shower and WCs, LED lights, premium sound system, flat screen TV, internet access, video-cameras in the front and the back of the vessel – we have thought of it all. And even more – we can further customize this yacht at customer's request. Please keep in mind the relaxing area in the stern of the boat. It is a true villa on the water. Lounge chairs are conveniently located close to the steps leading right into the water.
LOOKER 440S is not only comfort and convenience. It is also high speed comparable to racing yachts.
Two Volvo Penta Dual Prop engines located in the engine compartment powers the vessel. Engine performance can be continuously monitored through the screen outputs of the entire NMEA 2000 electrical system of the boat. The system readings provide information on engine RPMs, water tank levels, fuel levels and system operating temperatures as well as other important information. Do you want to have breakfast in one port and take a swim in a hidden bay? Have lunch in yet another port and finish the day on a deserted island somewhere in the ocean? The high speed LOOKER 440S will let you do all that no problem. The underwater fin allows for smooth travel. But be careful – it is easy to speed thanks to the trim tab system that checks vessel performance 25 times per second to provide maximum vessel stability.
So, are you ready to rule seas and oceans with utmost comfort and at a high speed? LOOKER 440S is ready to welcome you on board. It's up to you to decide where you want to go next. Let's get underway.

Leading classical double bassist Niek de Groot has joined with pianist Catherine Klipfel to release The Sonatas, featuring performances of works by Sofia Gubaidulina, Paul Hindemith and Pēteris Vasks. The album also includes de Groot's arrangement of Johannes Brahms' Sonata for piano and cello in E minor, op.38.
deGroot, a senior professor at Folkwang University of Arts in Essen, Germany, has devoted himself to chamber music and solo performance. His primary instrument is an Amati double bass made in Cremona, Italy, in 1680.
Although this piece isn't on the album, you can get an idea of what de Groot and Klipfel can do as they perform Enrique Granados – Goyescas' "Intermezzo":
The Sonatas is available on CD and as a digital download (iTunes and Amazon MP3).
The Sonatas Track List:
- Brahms: Sonata for piano and violoncello in E minor, Op. 38
- Gubaidulina: Sonata for double bass and piano
- Hindemith: Sonata for double bass and piano
- Vasks: Sonata for solo double bass

Brooke Werhane Maples
Brooke Werhane Maples
Seeking inspiration from the likes of Matisse and Degas from an early age on, Brooke Werhane Maples' work pulls through the history of 20th century male gaze and painting. She picks up on Matisse's flatness and two dimensional canvas room and drags it through Basquiat's chauvinistic farce of inhabiting the space with the self, constantly questioning the role of painting with a diary-like use of words and writing.
But here's the twist: Brooke Werhane Maples' works are never chauvinistic or selfish or flat. Taking a century of male gaze and painting, she takes over the language of maleness and makes it so purely female – fragile, beautiful and at the same time strong as can be.
Her flowers drip of friskiness and the figures in her paintings manifest themselves to the viewer playfully and strong while at the same time revealing their vulnerability. Alice O'Neill and Frida Kahlo come to mind when thinking about the context and the place of raw feminine emotion that triggers her work.
'As I moved through my studies in art history and environmental design I continued drawing and painting, I was inspired by the works of Frank Lloyd Wright, Phillip Johnston, Willem de Kooning and John Singer Sargent.' It is both architects and artists that continued to influence her work. 'The body, movement, energy and translating human emotion through painting is a constant goal in my practice.'

Sitting in Germany, each morning scanning the morning Google News, I can't describe how depressing it is that this story — Kerry's gaffe — is the top story on Google News. Can it really be that the most important story is (yet another) gaffe by a presidential candidate who couldn't beat George Bush? I can't believe how good the GOP is in playing this game. I can't stomach how bad the Democrats are.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - A U.S. development worker kidnapped in Pakistan by al Qaeda two years ago appealed to President Barack Obama to intervene and help negotiate his release, in a video released on Thursday.
In a 13-minute clip issued by al Qaeda's media wing and posted on several news websites, Warren Weinstein, 72, looked gaunt and tired.
"I am not in good health. I have a heart condition. I suffer from acute asthma... Needless to say I've been suffering deep anxiety every part of every day," he said.
"Mr President, for the majority of my adult life, for over 30 years I've served my country ... Now when I need my government it seems that I have been totally abandoned and forgotten."
The video could not be independently verified.
Weinstein was abducted in 2011 in the eastern city of Lahore where he worked for a U.S. consulting company.
Pakistan's tribal areas on its border with Afghanistan serve as safe havens for al Qaeda, the Taliban and other militant groups, and the Islamabad government has been under pressure from the United States to do more to eliminate the insurgency.

Streets designed to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians, safer routes for children going to school, roundabouts and other traffic-calming devices were among the concepts presented at a workshop this week focused on making neighborhoods more walkable.
Nearly 40 engineers, city planners and public health professionals from around the county gathered in San Marcos on Monday to learn about the challenges that pedestrians and bicyclists face in getting around. Advocates outlined a variety of approaches that could be used to encourage more people to get out of their cars and walk or bike.
With gas prices rising again and an obesity epidemic, local officials are paying more attention to how accessible their communities are to alternative forms of transportation. The workshop brought public health professionals together with city planners and engineers – something that doesn't happen often, said Carey Riccitelli, a public health nurse who helped organize the event.
Public health professionals are increasingly recognizing the need to be involved in city planning decisions, Riccitelli said.
"Health does have a role in the built environment," Riccitelli said. "A lot of research shows that where you live does have an impact on your health."
The national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that obesity rates have doubled for adults and tripled for children since the 1980s. One CDC study found that a third of children born in 2000 will develop type 2, or adult-onset, diabetes at some point in their lives if current trends continue.
"When people talk about the obesity epidemic, they're not kidding," said Paul Zykofsky, director of land use and transportation programs for the nonprofit Local Government Commission, whose mission is "working to build livable communities."
Zykofsky said the lack of attention to pedestrian safety and convenience in many areas has probably contributed to the rise in obesity rates.
One of the biggest themes of the workshop was "complete" streets – those designed to accommodate not only cars, but bicycles and pedestrians as well.
"Streets are not just for cars," Zykofsky said.
Local engineers can make life easier for pedestrians by making sidewalks wide enough, putting crosswalks where there's a demand for them and designing intersections in ways that promote pedestrian safety. These changes are good for businesses trying to attract walk-in customers, Zykofsky said.
One approach gaining popularity is the roundabout. Instead of having an intersection with stop signs on four sides, a roundabout is essentially a one-way circle that requires drivers to yield before entering.
A series of roundabouts was completed on La Jolla Boulevard in Bird Rock in 2008. Coronado is testing a roundabout at one of its key intersections, and Oceanside recently approved a plan to install roundabouts on Coast Highway. Encinitas already has several roundabouts.
Another resource that communities can use is the so-called "road diet," which usually involves reducing a four-lane road to three lanes. This slows traffic, reduces collisions and creates space for bike lanes and on-street parking, Zykofsky said.
The workshop came at a good time for communities that are updating their general plans, the legal blueprints that guide long-term development. San Marcos is working on updating its general plan, and El Cajon is developing a bicycle master plan.
In older cities like Escondido, approaches such as building neighborhoods with fewer disconnected cul-de-sacs are not an option because the neighborhoods have already been built, said Jay Paul, an Escondido associate city planner, who was at the workshop.
An additional challenge is finding community support for projects intended to improve conditions for pedestrians and cyclists, Paul said.
"You can't just go stick something in a neighborhood," Paul said. "The key is community support."
The workshop was part of a series being held across the state, and a similar workshop was held for East County leaders earlier this spring.

When the foreign citizen or the person without citizenship is applying to the Russian Consulate, then they should submit the following documents:
1. The foreign passport (or the document which substitutes it: child's identity card, travel document for the person without citizenship, travel document for the refugee).
2. Consular Visa application form
3. One photo 3*4 cm (or two, depending on the Consulate).
4. Visa support letter (invitation).
5. Payment.
6. Travel insurance for citizens of Schengen States;
7. In some cases (stays longer than 3 months) it is obligatory to submit the document proving that the person does not have AIDS.
Invitation for Russian tourist visa
In order to get a tourist visa an applicant should submit to the Consulate a standard tourist confirmation (visa support letter) from the authorized hosting Russian travel agency.
Russian visa confirmation should contain full name of the traveler, date of birth, passport number, date of entry/departure, itinerary, the agency's reference number, registration number, official seal and signature of the authorized person; and a voucher issued by an authorized travel agency, indicating full name of the traveler, date of birth, passport number, dates of entry and departure, name of the hosting Russian Tourist Company.

It should be submitted with all the other documents proving the foreign citizen's identity to the Border Control Officer. The entry part is taken and the second part is kept with the passport during the whole trip. When leaving the Russian Federation, the foreign citizen should also submit the migration form to the Border Control Officer. The Border Control Officer is obliged to make a mark of entering/leaving the Russian Federation in the passport.
Migration registration
According to the Russian legislation, foreign citizens must be registered at the place of their stay within 7 workdays since arrival. If a foreign citizen has moved to another place of staying, he (she) should be registered at the new place within 7 workdays since moving. Migration registration is carried out by the host party, the foreign citizen does not need to take care of it himself or herself.
The administration of the hotel or other organizations providing the hotel services should register the foreign citizens within 1 day after their arrival. Depending on the hotel policy the administration may charge a small fee for registration.
In case of staying at apartment or private house one should be registered by hosts through the post office or at the Russian Migration Service office within 7 workdays.

I often share my own experience with Honeywell Total Connect and the impact it has on my daily life. Like the peace of mind it gives me when I get an alert and a video clip that shows someone in my family coming home safely. Or like how great it is when I don't have to leave the office to check on a home renovation project. This is all a few clicks away, right on my smart phone.
Our customers are almost always impressed. They enjoy watching my video clips and can't wait to present the technology. But when I share it socially with friends and other homeowners, people are wowed and ask if this is available now and where they can get it. This reaction is always encouraging to me. It means they can easily see themselves using this technology and crave the convenience they didn't think was available to them.
We've worked hard to make our systems better, easier to use and install and more affordable than ever. In fact, we have made great progress in delivering ease of use with LYNX Touch, Tuxedo Touch and Honeywell Total Connect. But the perception that Connected Home systems are complex and expensive remains an obstacle, so a lot of the opportunity lies in educating consumers and increasing awareness.
I am frequently asked about the new players in our industry and the impact they may have – especially the cable and telecom companies. In a recent Reuters article, I touched on this subject, but the story didn't fully represent my true thoughts. For me, the entry of cable and telecom companies into the marketplace confirms what we all know: that there is tremendous opportunity for growth – so large that many want a piece of this pie. But I also believe their big marketing budgets will mean more consumer awareness on the value of the Connected Home.
Does it mean more competition? Yes, but security dealers can offer valuable experience with life safety and security technology, a local advantage and outstanding customer service.
And with less than 20% adoption* in the U.S. alone, there is a wealth of opportunity out there. It is up to all of us to reap the benefits and provide the value and style consumers seek. And we are here to help you.

P0241 code definition
Turbocharger Boost Sensor B Circuit Low
What the P0241 code means
P0241 is a generic OBD-II code triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects the intake boost pressure sensor B input circuit low below specifications, indicating a short to ground in the sensor or wiring.
What causes the P0241 code?
The turbo boost pressure sensor B is internally shorted to ground.
The turbo boost pressure sensor B connector is damaged, causing a short to ground.
The turbo boost pressure sensor B wiring is shorted to ground between the sensor and the ECM.
What are the symptoms of the P0241 code?
The Check Engine Light will be illuminated and code set
The engine turbo boost may be turned off by the ECM and the engine will lack power
The engine may lack some power during acceleration if the boost sensor circuit is shorted and cannot input the correct amount of boost pressure to the ECM
How does a mechanic diagnose the P0241 code?
Scans codes and document the freeze frame data in order to verify the problem
Clears the codes to verify whether the concern comes back
Checks the operation of the boost pressure sensor signal and compares it to the MAP sensor
Checks the turbo boost sensor wiring and connector for any signs of shorts in the harness
Checks the turbo boost sensor connector for corroded pins that may cause shorting of the signal circuit
Common mistakes when diagnosing the P0241 code
Follow these simple guidelines to prevent misdiagnosis:
Try disconnecting the sensor to see if the short and code goes away, or a different code is produced.
Check the harness for shorted circuits from loose or hanging wire looms.
How serious is the P0241 code?
- A short in the sensor circuit will cause the engine ECM to disable the turbo boost until the problem is fixed and the code is cleared. This will cause a loss of power on acceleration.
What repairs can fix the P0241 code?
Replacing the boost sensor if it is shorted internally and not giving the correct input pressure reading to the ECM
Repairing the wiring harness if any shorts are found, and securing the harness from excessive heat.
Cleaning or replacing any corroded connections
Replacing the ECM if it is shorted internally
Additional comments for consideration regarding the P0241 code
Code P0241 is triggered by the intake boost sensor circuit shorted signal to the ECM. The most common failure is that the boost sensor internally shorted or the harness has been shorted on the exhaust manifold from a loose harness touching the exhaust system.
