Outdoor Security Lighting
High Intensity Discharge Lights
Most commonly associated with outdoor flood lights, there are many options to choose from when designing an outdoor security lighting system. The most well-thought systems combine a mixture of lights designed for continual use with those designed to instantly switch on and automatically turn off by means of a motion sensor detector. When properly implemented, the lamps should not only act as a deterrent against potential crime and mischief, but also allow homeowners to clearly see objects in the lit areas.
Many lamp varieties are used in outdoor security lighting. Which lamps you decide to use is going to depend, at least in part, on where you want the lights situated and how brightly you want the area lit. Other factors that will affect your decision are desired light intensity, color rendering index (CRI), correlated color temperature (CCT), lifespan, and energy efficiency.
Color rendering index refers to a lamp's ability to faithfully render colors, as compared with a natural or optimal light source. Daylight is the typical benchmark. The higher a light registers on this quantitative index, the more capable it is of faithfully producing colors.
CRI does not describe the visible color of the lamp. That is the job of correlated color temperature.
Correlated color temperature refers to the specific temperature a theoretical light source would need to be heated to achieve a light that produces a color of a reference source of light. It is measured in degrees kelvin (K). Kelvin is a unit of absolute temperature; a topic beyond the scope of this article.
CCT essentially measures the overall warmth or coolness of a lamp's appearance. Lower temperatures refer to warmer light sources, and vice versa. Colors below 3200 K are considered warm (red/yellow/gold), while colors above 4000 K are generally considered cool (blue hue).
Lamps can be broken down into two main types: high intensity discharge (HID) and halogen.
Here's a brief description for HID:
HID lamps – have the longest lifespan and highest efficacy of any light source. Efficacy refers to the amount of light produced as measured against the amount of energy expended in the process. Simply put, this means they radiate more light per watt of electricity consumed because a higher proportion of their radiation is light, as opposed to heat.
HID lamps manufacture intense light using an electrical arc. Electrical arc, in this instance, refers to a process that involves a quick breakdown of the resistance of gas contained within the bulb's quartz or alumina arc tube. This arc tube contains both gas and metal salts and the breakdown occurs between 2 electrodes within the arc tube. Gas is used to provide the initial spark.
Once sparked, the electrical arc gradually heats the metal salts contained within the arc tube. The heating of these metal salts forms into a continuous plasma discharge, which greatly adds to the light's intensity, while at the same time reducing its energy consumption.
HID lights require a ballast: a device used to ignite and harness the current flow within the arc tube. More specifically, it converts existing voltage into a higher operating voltage in order to spark the gas and metal salts into producing light. Once ignited, it can sometimes takes 5 minutes or more for the ballast to fully establish the electrical arc. This means it could take more than 5 minutes for these lights to produce light once activated.
And the upshot of all this is that while HID lights are an excellent source of continual light, they are much less so when it comes to motion sensor outdoor lighting, which requires a lamp to immediately produce light. HID lights are best applied when incorporated with other outdoor security lighting fixtures capable of instant activation.
HID Light Types
The type of gas used within the tube determines what kind of HID lamp you are working with. Metal halide, neon, xenon, sodium, mercury, argon, and krypton are all HID lamp varieties.
Here's a brief overview of a few of the main types of HID lights:
Mercury vapor lamps – are the first generation HID lamp. Of all HID lights, mercury vapor lamps are the least efficient. Original models produced a blue/green light, but more recent models have toned down the blue/green effect by adding a phosphor coating to the bulbs. The coating improves the CRI (color rendering index) and balances the light spectrum, which gives the light a "white" appearance. Mercury vapor lights typically have an outer bulb that contains the inner arc tube. The arc tube is comprised of quartz and is filled with mercury and argon gas.
Metal halide and sodium vapor lamps are increasingly replacing mercury vapor lamps, both of which are more efficient and have better color rendition than mercury vapor. Perhaps the reason mercury vapor lamps have not disappeared entirely is because of how long the bulbs last. The average HID bulb life is 24,000 hours or more.
Metal halide lamps – emit an extremely bright light and provide the best color rendition of all HID lamps. These lights are most commonly used in construction sites, commercial buildings, parking lots, sporting arenas, and other areas where safety and security is the primary goal.
Metal halide lamps have arc tubes that contain mercury, argon and metal halide gas. Metal halide gas facilitates greater light intensity, better energy consumption, and better CTR and CCT than what mercury vapors lamps are able to achieve.
Sodium vapor lamps – come in 2 varieties: low pressure and high pressure.
Low pressure sodium vapor lamps have the highest efficacy of all HID lights. The gases in the arc tube of these lamps are solid sodium, argon, and neon. The lamp emits a faint pink/red light as it begins to heat the solid sodium. As the sodium vaporizes, the lights display the red/yellow glow they are known for.
A downside of these lights is they produce a monochromatic light. This means objects all appear the same shade of color. These lamps are used in instances where color is not a primary concern, which makes them useful for such things as highway, parking lot and security lighting.
High pressure sodium lamps – as the name implies, work under high pressure and high temperature. The result is a more visually appealing light, but this is accomplished at the expense of energy efficiency.

The Internet has revolutionized the way human beings interact with the world. At the click of a mouse, anybody can access a worldwide library of information, entertainment, and social media! The Internet makes it easy for people to express themselves and network with like-minded individuals. While the Internet offers a fascinating way to connect to the world around us, it also presents new dangers.
While most computers still rely on hard disk drive (HDD) technology for data storage, many schools now use computers and servers with solid-state drives (SSD), which offer several advantages in terms of speed and durability. At Secure Data Recovery Services, we specialize in treating solid-state media, and we offer special options for students to ensure a fast, secure and affordable recovery. Click below to learn more about SSD and server data recovery.
In order to prevent potentially serious security issues, students should know how to protect sensitive information when working online.
Children and teens need to know about the reality of these dangers to avoid becoming a target. In fact, a large percentage of Internet predators target children. Identity theft, cyberbullying, cyberstalking, hacking, and predators are all things that children and teens need to worry about. As a result, many parents, teachers, and government agencies have made efforts to educate children about the dangers of the Internet. While this may help, children need to learn how to recognize the warning signs of these dangers to prevent themselves from getting victimized. It also helps to learn coping strategies to overcome the effects of victimization once it does happen.
By taking a proactive approach, parents and educators can help children avoid some of the common dangers associated with Internet misuse. These security tips and online safety guides are an excellent resource for students of all ages.

In combing through the results of the 2012 election — apparently finally complete, nearly two months after the fact — I continue to find many similarities between 2012 and 2004, and one enormous difference.
|Does "combing through" mean "reading some article someone else wrote and using those ideas for your own"? Because this sounds familiar.
Both of the elections involved incumbent presidents with approval ratings hovering around or just under 50 percent facing challengers who were rich men from Massachusetts (though one made his money and the other married it).
|Logically, these elections were basically the same then!
In both cases, the challenger and his campaign seemed confident he was going to win — and had reasonable grounds to believe so.
In both elections, the incumbent started running a barrage of negative ads defining the challenger in the spring. And in both elections, the incumbent had at least one spotty debate performance.
I don't think there are any elections involving incumbents where these aren't true statements.
In both elections, each candidate concentrated on a more or less fixed list of target states, and in both elections the challenger depended heavily on outside groups' spending that failed to achieve optimal results.
"In both elections, candidates focused their efforts in areas where they might matter. The loser and his friends also spent lots of money, which indicates that they did not expect to lose and thought the money might make a difference. I am a real writer and these are real insights, I swear."
The popular-vote margins were similar — 51 to 48 percent for George W. Bush in 2004, 51 to 47 percent for Barack Obama in 2012.
|These numbers are scintillat--zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
The one enormous difference was turnout. Turnout between the 2000 and 2004 elections rose from 105 million to 122 million — plus 16 percent. Turnout between the 2008 and 2012 elections fell from 131 million to 128 million — minus 2 percent.
|You make kitty bored as fuck.
Turnout is a measure of organization but also of spontaneous enthusiasm. In 2004, John Kerry got 16 percent more popular votes than Al Gore had four years before. But he lost, because George W. Bush got 23 percent more popular votes than he had four years before.
|I'm spontaneously enthusiastic! Not about this article, of course.
Kerry voters were motivated more by negative feelings about Bush than by positive feelings for their candidate. They disagreed with Bush's major policies and disliked him personally. The Texas twang, the swagger, the garbled sentence structure — it was like hearing someone scratch his fingers on a blackboard.
|Turn my swag on
His criticism of his opponents was measured and never personal, and he blamed none of his difficulties on his predecessor (who had blamed none of his on his).
Maybe that's because Bush's predecessor left him a balanced budget and relatively few long-term problems, whereas Obama entered office with several foreign conflicts and a...how do you say...not-balanced budget? Weighted budget? Whatever. Also, I feel compelled to note that it was very easy for Bush to avoid personal attacks because Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, and a legion of Swift boaters took care of those for him.
The 2012 election was different. Barack Obama got 6 percent fewer popular votes than he had gotten in 2008. And Mitt Romney got only 1 percent more popular votes than John McCain had four years before.
|"See, what I did there was I took the numbers and I...mathed them. After the mathing, there was some really interesting stuff, with the numbers and the maths and all that. Percent!
|I never thought of that! If several million people had voted differently someone different might have won. Inception!
But the conservative bloggers who argued that the Obama campaign's early-voting numbers were below target may have been right. If Mitt Romney had gotten 16 percent more popular votes than his predecessor, as John Kerry did, he would have led Obama by 4 million votes and won the popular vote 51 to 48 percent. Romney, like Kerry, depended on voters' distaste for the incumbent; he could not hope to inspire the devotion Bush enjoyed in 2004 and that Obama had from a diminished number in 2012.
But to continue this counterfactual scenario, if Obama had won 23 percent more popular votes this year than in 2008, he would have beaten Romney by 85 million to 69 million votes and by 54 to 44 percent. In reality, Obama's vote and percentage went down. Considering what happened in Bush's second term, that suggests a course of caution and wariness for the reelected president and his party.
The key word here would be "counterfactual". This has been your day's exercise in pretending numbers are different and painting a word picture of what that might mean, which as I understand it is the heart of modern mathematic theory.
*facts may be fabricated if I see fit
**probably not the real reason

Local SNP MSP Margaret Burgess has launched a scathing attack on British Unionist political parties after the announcement of a UK Budget that will see a further £30bn of cuts imposed on already-struggling people.
Mrs Burgess was speaking after Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne revealed the plans Tories will implement if the party is re-elected on May 7th. Although criticising the Tory plans during the Budget debate in the House of Commons, Labour's Shadow Chancellor, Ed Balls, later told the BBC's Today programme that a future Labour Government would not reverse any of the measures proposed by the Tories.
Margaret Burgess said, "The Tories tell us the economy is 'sorted', yet Scotland's public services face being hammered by massive spending cuts.
"Last year, Labour and the Tories told us 'stick with Westminster and all will be well", but now they say there must be more devastating cuts. Shamefully, Labour has signed-up to the Tories' £30bn of cuts. For Scotland, this means cuts of £12bn over the next 4 years."
Mrs Burgess, MSP for the local constituency of Cunninghame South, highlighted the SNP's alternative to Westminster austerity, saying, "First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has outlined our credible and sustainable programme, which would see the deficit and debt fall every year, but still free-up public spending across the UK with £14bn for Scotland's public services.
"By investing rather than simply cutting, we can boost Scotland's economy and create jobs."

Our team works relentlessly to create Big Data technologies that make healthy grocery shopping easier, and more affordable.
Newton, Mass. (PRWEB) May 08, 2014
NutriSavings is proud to announce that Niraj Jetly, SVP, CIO/COO, was named as a 2014 CIO of the Year from Mass High Tech Boston Business Journal in the category of emerging business.
Working with health and nutrition experts, NutriSavings developed the first measurable corporate nutrition and wellness program, which incentivizes healthy groceries purchases with savings at the supermarket. NutriSavings is on a mission to improve the health of the U.S. workforce through better nutrition, and to reduce the enormous healthcare costs shouldered by employers. Each year, $700 billion is spent on the associated costs of obesity and other chronic diseases in the U.S.
"At NutriSavings, we believe that good nutrition is a key ingredient to improving health, reducing healthcare costs, and improving employee productivity," Jetly said. "Yet, two obstacles face employees on their path to healthy eating – confusion at the supermarket aisle and the higher cost of healthier groceries. Our team works relentlessly to create Big Data technologies that make healthy grocery shopping easier, and more affordable."
NutriSavings, a subsidiary of Edenred, leverages Big Data to process 150 million nutritional data elements and provide incentives and rewards based upon behavioral changes that take place while participants shop at their favorite supermarket. Participants also have access to employer-funded rewards and discounts on healthier food items offered by major food & beverage brands
"We have an opportunity to highlight the technological achievements of proven leaders. These are the leaders who are at the forefront of innovation. These are the CIOs who keep our businesses operating without interruption. These are the people who keep our business systems secure," said Chris McIntosh, publisher of the Boston Business Journal and Mass High Tech.
Jetly, along with other winners, will be honored at a June 26 breakfast at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel.

Later in the production run, DeTomaso switched to 351 Windsors, but in the SCT Performance display at The SEMA Show we spied a custom Pantera—built for the television show Fast 'N Loud—that brings its Blue Oval street cred into the modern era with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost swap.
"In the current season of Fast N' Loud, the guys here at Gas Monkey Garage took on the heavy task of removing a 351 Ford motor from a 1972 Pantera, and replacing it with a 3.5-liter twin turbo Ford EcoBoost motor," Rory Camangian, Strategy and Business Development Lead at Gas Monkey Garage, explained on the company blog.

"Over the years there have been quite a few Panteras roll through the shop. Richard has a thing for these cars and has purchased quite a few of them," Jonathan Mansour, Director of Marketing at Gas Monkey Garage, explained. "We've had some decent to rough cars. This one was probably one of the nicest cars so we finally decided to have a go at building one."
"The car originally came with a 351 Cleveland so naturally someone's modern approach to this car would be to do a Coyote swap. That would have been the easy route," Jonathan continued. "We have wanted to do a turbo build for a long time and this also gave us a reason to finally do it. The Ecoboost looked like a great choice and weighs a lot less than the boat anchor Cleveland and makes a lot more power. An already light car with a lighter weight drivetrain with more power sounded like a great combo."
On The Challenge
Of course, taking on a such a pioneering swap added a great deal of complexity, which required a lot of custom work.
"There were a few challenges with the Ecoboost swap as well. QuickTime made us a one-off bellhousing/clutch combo to mate the EcoBoost to the stock ZF gearbox. The factory location of the turbos on the stock manifolds puts the turbos in the shock towers so Aaron fabricated a custom set of headers to relocate the turbos to the rear of the engine," Jonathan said. "The factory intake manifold would also put the throttle body inside the cab so Aaron also fabricated a sheet metal intake manifold that faced backwards to make everything fit better."
Overcoming the hardware challenges is definitely in the Gas Monkey Garage wheelhouse, but making all this complex gas turbo direct injection hardware play nice in a vintage sportscar required some custom calibration expertise, so the GMG team turned to the experts at SCT Performance.
We turned to SCT for our tuning calibration for many reasons. They are the leaders in Ford tuning software and really gave us the ability to tune the car like we needed to.—Jonathan Mansour, Gas Monkey Garage
"We reached out to SCT so they could get the Ford calibration in their database so their software engineers could get the info they needed to allow Adam to tune the car and see all the parameters in the ECU," he added. "Once the software was available Adam from Revolution Automotive and David, from SCT, spent quite a few hours on the dyno and knocked the tune out of the park. The car exceeded our expectations on power and drivability so we couldn't be happier. Car made an impressive 475 horsepower and 500 lb-ft at the wheels."
We partnered with SCT because we wanted to build a car that would perform and be a heck of a lot of fun to drive.—Aaron Kaufman, Gas Monkey Garage
"Vehicles come off the factory with a one-size-fits-all mentality that is not optimized for personal performance," Derive Systems, parent company of Bullydog and SCT Performance, CEO David Thawley, added. "We are proud to showcase our latest solutions that empower car owners to customize the driving experience to best suit their needs and preferences."
Revolutionary Tuning
Pushing modded EcoBoost applications, like Brad Gusler's trend-setting EcoBoost Mustang, is an area of expertise for Adam Browne, the main man at Revolution Automotive. He also works closely with Vaughn Gittin Jr. of Mustang RTR, having tuned his Ultimate Fun Haver F-150 with an EcoBoost engine. These ties led Adam to work with the Gas Monkey Garage team.
"Our friend Brad Gusler of BG Racing was kind enough to recommend me when he caught wind of Gas Monkey's intentions with the Pantera," Adam explained. "That was in the planning stages of the build. From there I had some conversations with Jonathan Mansour (GMG's Director of Marketing) and Aaron Kaufman. An extensive email train followed suit. That included consultation on the hard parts of the build and then we dove into the calibration challenges."
Before he could dive all the way into the custom calibration, the Gas Monkey Garage team pulled the Control Pack PCM and sent it off to SCT Performance so the company's engineers could add all the software parameters Adam needed to tweak.
SCT was awesome with their support for the second round of tuning.—Adam Browne, Revolution Automotive
With that support from SCT, Adam was able to build a custom calibration that took all this combination's unique facets under consideration. Unlike a production vehicle with a known set of modification variables, a project like the Gas Monkey Garage Pantera is far more complex to calibrate.
Bringing it all Together
"First it was getting the software to have all of the parameters needed. After that, this wasn't just a stock engine swap. The amount of custom parts is really quite unique and they needed to be dialed in to play friendly with each other," Adam said. "Aaron from Gas Monkey built an amazing pair of one-off headers to mount the turbos over the ZF trans. He also made a reverse-facing sheetmetal intake fed by a custom air-to-air intercooler. Then throw Full Race's hi-po Borg Warner turbos all being fed by an RTR high-pressure fuel pump. I had my calibration challenges ahead of me."
Having worked on some of Vaughn's unusual projects and having experience with the new RTR high-pressure pump for Ford direct-injection applications did offer a slight advantage, but there were a lot of variables to contend with.
"All aspects of the tune needed to be tweaked. I was able to pull from my experience doing R&D for Vaughn Gittin Jr. and his RTR EcoBoost program," Adam explained. "That gave me a pretty good idea of what type of fueling and turbo changes I would need to dial in the Full Race compressors and the RTR high-pressure pump. The sheet metal intake and custom headers added another dimension to the calibration on top of those."
Gas Monkey Garage Pantera Mods
• Ford Performance 3.5-liter EcoBoost crate engine
• Ford Performance Controls Pack
• Full Race Motorsports turbo upgrades
• Gas Monkey Garage custom header
• Gas Monkey Garage custom intake
• Gas Monkey Garage custom intercooler
• Mustang RTR high-pressure fuel pump
• SCT Performance Livewire and custom tuning
In the end, the Gas Monkey Garage EcoBoost swap turned out beautifully and Adam's tuning prowess showed in the car's driveability and output. Strapped to the Dynojet rollers at Advanced Modern Performance resulted in peak outputs of over 472 horsepower and 498 lb.-ft. of torque at the rear wheels–giving this vintage sportscar performance that is far more reminiscent of the modern Ford GT than that of a Mustang with a 351C.
"…I was pleasantly surprised when I found out the car would be in SCT's SEMA booth," Adam added. "And in addition to that, SCT was on board with supporting the build. SCT is my go-to software for tuning so this was a win-win."
It is definitely a win, but what's it like to drive such an innovative machine?
"The car is an absolute blast to drive. The power-to-weight ratio couldn't be better. The drivability is so good it makes it feel like a modern car when driving around town and cruising down the freeway," Jonathan added. "Once you get into the skinny pedal and the boost comes in you better hold on. The sound coming from the exhaust is quite intoxicating since it's just turbo noise for days. Although the motor originally started in an F-150 it sounds nothing like a V6 pickup motor."
We combed over the car at the show, and it was definitely a winning combination. Pantera's will always carry a certain mystique, but one motivated by Ford's latest powerplant takes a special car and makes it one of a kind.

Recently listed in the top 100 Graduate Programmes in Ireland, our Graduate Programme will help you improve your future career prospects.
I joined the Bord na Móna Graduate Programme in October 2014. For my first placement, I worked in Marketing in Fuels and Horticulture. I moved to AES in March 2014 for a second rotation in marketing.
The recruitment process was challenging but provided great opportunities to learn more about the company.
The online ability tests can prove tricky, so I would advise all applicants to practice them as often as possible and be prepared and relaxed prior to attempting them.
Everyone involved in the process was very helpful from day one and provided support when required. I found the first round interview quite informal and relaxed which I felt helped me to be myself. The second round interview was more formal and required me to complete a presentation to a two-member panel. When building my presentation I indentified areas of the business that I could apply what I had learnt in college.
In my current role in AES I have been working on building the content for the new AES website. I had very little experience in marketing before working with Bord na Móna but have gained great experience in the past year. My next placement will be in operations management in fuels. Although the new role will be in a completely different line of work I'll still be able to carry across competencies and relationships built in previous roles.
The culture in Bord na Móna is very forward thinking. Everyone I have worked with in the past year has been very approachable and keen to get involved in difficult projects. As a result, the people in Bord na Móna are constantly striving to better themselves and improve their work practices.
Bord na Móna is an innovative company that is moving with the times, constantly seeking new opportunities to grow and diversify. Employees here are very proud to work for such a well established company with a long successful history.

You get a great insight into various aspects of the businesses during each placement and get to work with some very interesting people. Graduates leave the programme with a wide range of experience which will kick-start your career.
Each new graduate is assigned with a business mentor provides advice and support for the graduate.
I have found that there is support everywhere you look in the business. The HR team coordinating the programme are always free for a catch up on any queries you may have. Line managers and colleagues are great to provide support and advice as you settle into your role.
Bord na Móna's long standing reputation stood out for me when choosing the Graduate Programme. Bord na Móna has always been a well known name and a company that is highly respected. In recent years the company has adapted to the changing needs of stakeholders and has a focus on sustainability through innovation whilst also protecting the environment in which we operate in.
Rewarding, motivating, challenging, exciting, memorable.

Can you remember the names of the five housemates?
Yes, five. Rick, Vyvyan, Mike, Neil and ... the hairy guy.
Wait ... you don't remember the hairy guy?
That's him/her there at the front of that publicity shot. And he/she was in every single episode of the first series. Did you spot them? I sure as hell didn't. But there they are!
How the hell did we miss it?
If you want to know where all the appearances are, check out this video on YouTube.
Intrigued by the discovery of a fifth flatmate, a The Young Ones fan called Peter Farquhar got in touch with Ben Elton and director Geoff Postner. Elton told him bluntly: 'I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, I'm afraid. There were four housemates plus the landlord'. However a couple of days after that denial, Posner confirmed Farquhar's suspicions saying that he and producer Paul Jackson simply 'thought it would be fine to have some ghostly figure in the background of some scenes that was never explained or talked about. Hair all over the face so you shouldn't be able to decipher gender either. 'The fact that we forgot to do it consistently through the series shows what a bunch of amateurs we were in them days.'
Writing in Business Insider Australia, Farquhar concludes: 'As a replicant which appeared in slightly different situations in at least five episodes in the first series, it could arguably be described as one of the first popular culture memes.'
Creepy eh? Definitely has a touch of 'The Ring' about it.
I still can't believe I missed it.
There's also a secret fart.
Posner also told Farquhar this story: 'Do you notice the tiny fart in Boring at 18:15? Mike delivered this comic gem in rehearsals in the studio, and cracked everybody up so much that they couldn't face recording the scenes, putting us further behind schedule than we always were (because of the over-ambition of the scenes. But then I say again, we were young then…'

Liverpool Manager Brendan Rodgers Unlikely to Convince Luis Suarez to StayJuly 22, 2013
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists Luis Suarez will play in the Reds' preseason friendly against Melbourne Victory on Wednesday, according to The Guardian.
But the Uruguay international's arrival in Australia is more likely to be significant for talks over his future with the Anfield boss over the next 48 hours, reports Mark Ogden of the Daily Telegraph.
Suarez has used the summer break from Liverpool duty to inform the media of his desire to leave the Merseyside club, starting with a press conference in South America in May as the Daily Telegraph reported.
The striker has maintained that stance, and earlier this month his agent Pere Guardiola met with Rodgers and Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre, where Suarez's wish to leave was reiterated, according to Phil McNulty of BBC Sport.
However, Rodgers maintains the 26-year-old remains an "integral" part of his squad and is confident the former Ajax man is going nowhere, as Ogden reported.
I haven't had it (talks with Suarez) yet. We only arrived late last night, he arrived earlier than the rest of us, but as we have always been as a club, I am quite relaxed about it.
Luis is here as expected, he is an integral part of squad and we will chat at some stage. He will train today and we will communicate over next few weeks, but we have spoken quite a lot of the summer.
We will chat more today, but he is a Liverpool player and he will be part of the group. You could see his closeness with squad last night.
Do I expect him to stay? Very much so. A lot has been said in the off-season, but the reality is that he is very much a player of importance.
Every player has a value and a worth, but it doesn't mean we are going to sell him.
Arsenal made a £30 million bid for Suarez two weeks ago that was rejected by the Reds, according to Chris Bascombe of the Daily Telegraph.
John Cross of the Daily Mirror reports that Suarez will tell Rodgers and the Liverpool hierarchy that he wants to join the Gunners while he is in Australia.
However, the article also claimed any Arsenal move would depend on the situation regarding Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain.
And Higuain's future has now been clouded amid reports that the Argentina international has stalled on his transfer to Napoli as he waits on the Gunners, according to Mark Irwin of The Sun.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti also insisted on Sunday night that no deal was in place for the 25-year-old with Napoli, as Sky Sports reported.
Suarez, of course, has also been linked with Real this summer, with The Sun's Mark Irwin claiming that the Spanish giants will offer Higuain and £20 million to Liverpool for the Uruguayan.
Paul Brown of the Daily Star also claims Rodgers is now considering a move for Valencia striker Roberto Soldado as a potential replacement for Suarez.
If the reports of Rodgers' interest in Soldado are correct, they are an indication that Liverpool are preparing for what seems like the inevitable departure of Suarez.
The Uruguayan's wish to leave Liverpool does not appear to have wavered since he first voiced his discontent at Anfield at the end of May.
The ball remains in Liverpool's court as they consider the options available for the sale of the forward, but Suarez's comments will not have endeared him to the supporters, and his departure from Anfield cannot be far away.
Supporters at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Wednesday should relish the opportunity to see Suarez in a Liverpool shirt, as it may well be one of the last ones.

YOU don't expect to see a beer bottle, even if it is a rare-in-these-parts Jack Daniel's beer bottle, in an honored spot in the office of one of the country's premier tuberculosis researchers, or to find the professor, who has a voice that sounds eerily like John Goodman's and a physique like an N.F.L. lineman's, cracking up the gang in the lab.
But here is Dr. William R. Jacobs, in sneakers and a stained blue sweater, entertaining the troops with stories about a recent trip to Russia, and if you will enter his cramped office -- two huge open jars of Fruit Loops and Hershey's Kisses on the desk, framed photos of ''heroes of microbiology'' next to the beer bottle -- he will tell you stories, too.
''Russia in the 70's had employed 60,000 people in 20 facilities across Russia, making biological warfare,'' Dr. Jacobs, 44, is saying, in such a way as to make the gritty laboratories of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine morph into a neighborhood bar. ''They would just grow up tons of anthrax to stick into SS-18 bombs.''
''Now the Department of Defense has deemed it would be cost effective to go ahead and pay them to work on something like tuberculosis, which is a huge problem in Russia, as opposed to taking a nice job in Iran making anthrax.
''So anyway, we go over, contingent of TB specialists, to see their facilities, where they have their animals, mice. Our facilities here, you gown up, you work with a HEPA filter over a hood, the air in the room changed every seven minutes. The Russians have this room where the air isn't filtered, the hood isn't working, and the containment'' -- the doctor starts laughing here -- ''they have two cats; they don't feed them that often.''Continue reading the main story
More laughter, accompanied by fist, gestures, that Goodmanesque voice, rising in volume. ''Any mouse gets out of the cage, boom! Slam! This is Russia, babe, I'm not making this stuff up! One of the the premier labs in Moscow, and their containment is two hungry cats!''
Even though tuberculosis is down in the United States, many public health officials are worrying about the need for screening in cities with large immigrant populations and at ports of entry.
Dr. Jacobs's concerns are global. If you visit him at Einstein, in the Bronx, he will repeatedly slam you with statistics: 270 people die every hour from tuberculosis, he says. He believes that a third of the people on the planet are infected. He has one goal: to eradicate the disease.
Dr. Jacobs, in the 15 years he has devoted to this endeavor, has made several important finds: he was the lead researcher of the team that discovered a gene within the tuberculosis bacterium that enables it to cause disease; he developed a light-sensitivity test with Dr. Barry Bloom, now the dean of the Harvard School of Public Health, that indicates resistance to TB drugs.
''Bill Jacobs's contribution was to create the genetics, the knowledge and the methods that everybody in the world is using,'' Dr. Bloom says. ''Another interesting thing about Bill: he's enormously bright, but he does not have the standard pedigree. He went to something called Edinboro State. No one has ever heard of that college.''
IT is also interesting that Dr. Jacobs does research despite the lifetime encumbrance of retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease that limits his peripheral and night vision and that now makes it difficult for him to see one of the tests he devised. Walking down a hallway, he bumps into a bucket and mop. (Bam! Careem!) Visits to places like Disneyland, he jokes, are tough. Luckily, his son and daughter (10 and 12) and his wife (a special education teacher) are ''compassionate.''
Why hasn't the researcher devoted himself to his own disease?
''Sometimes I think that when something's too close, you get blinded. I was always afraid I'd get too emotionally involved.''
Another question: How does a fellow who selected his college (the aforementioned Edinboro State, in the northwest corner of Pennsylvania), based on a Playboy ranking of party schools, end up with a doctorate in molecular cell biology (University of Birmingham), in the gratification-delayed world of research? There is a reason, but it embarrasses Dr. Jacobs, who grew up the son of a steelworker in West Mifflin, Pa.
So first, Dr. Jacobs's seminal encounter with science, in the ninth grade, as he is studying the effects of plant growth hormone. The off-campus experiment involves a next-door neighbor who has impounded the budding scientist's baseball. The young Dr. Jacobs sprays the growth hormone on the neighbors just-planted corn and tomatoes.
''Every day they grew a foot, and after a week, they all fell over dead,'' Dr. Jacobs says, hooting.
Off to college goes Dr. Jacobs, majoring in math and minoring, much less successfully, in girls. In pursuit of one, he attends a prayer meeting. The woman marries someone else, but Dr. Jacobs becomes a Christian. He is concerned about discussing this. Most scientists can't relate to God, he doesn't want to be viewed as some ''wacko,'' but there it is. His doctoral work, which would be with leprosy, and his subsequent work with tuberculosis are tied to the need to ''do right by my fellow man.''
''I went to a prayer meeting because of a woman, but I was hungry for God,'' Dr. Jacobs says. ''I wasn't satisfied with my life. I know God was calling for me, that there is some plan in my life.''Continue reading the main story

Small Firm Civil Practice is a transition to practice course that allows
students to gain competencies in multiple different practice areas. Students work on
practical skills in those areas of civil law that small firm practitioners are
most likely to encounter while also learning practice management
the course touches on family law, trusts and estates, real estate practice,
civil litigation, and small business representation. Of course, the class is not a comprehensive study of any of those practice areas; instead, it focuses on real-life
legal situations that students are most likely to encounter in practice. For
example, in the trusts and estates unit, students will work on drafting a will
as well as learning what is required during the probate process.
Small Firm Civil Practice will touch on a number of practice areas including, but not limited to:
Business Associations, Civil Procedure, Contracts, Family Law, Professional Responsibility, Trusts and Estates, Torts, Trial Advocacy.

Movies have Oscar, theaters have Tony, even scifi writers have Hugo. But comic artists? Well, they have Harvey. The Harvey Awards have been around for about 10 years, and recognize artists, writers, letterers, colorists and all the folks who turn pencil drawings and ideas into works of art, political commentary, humor and more. There are 21 categories, like best syndicated strip or panel (nominees this year include Pearls Before Swine and Zippy the Pinhead),best artist (with Batman and Daredevil in the running) and best online comic (including Berke Breathed and Mark Stokes).
Wait a second… Berke Breathed, legendary Texan and creator of the recently revived Bloom County… is up against… Mark Stokes?
Stokes, as regular readers of Dallas Voice know, contributes regularly here with his Drawing Dallas Sketches, profiling ordinary North Texans in amazingly accurate caricatures. (He also designed the Ask Howard author logo.) But Mark also has an online comic strip called Zombie Boy (we wrote about his Kickstarter campaign a few years ago). And it's his work there that has landed him a coveted slot as a finalist for this year's Harvey Awards, which will be presented Saturday during Baltimore Comic-Con.
"Win or lose, just being nominated it a real honor," Mark told me about the thrill of being in the running. "It's a slightly unreal feeling — this [recognition] is something I've wanted since I started creating comics back in the 1980s."
We're just excited to know one of our friends is getting a shout-out for work he's done… then again, we've known about his talent for a long time. Fingers crossed, Mark!

Chris Iannetta felt his swing and his comfort in the batter's box return when he ended an eight-pitch at-bat with a sacrifice fly in the Rockies' 2-0 victory over the Pirates on Monday night. It's a good time for Iannetta to feel good. The Rockies went from carrying three catchers to two on Tuesday when they optioned rookie Tom Murphy to Triple-A Albuquerque to make room on the roster for Tuesday's starting pitcher, righty Chad Bettis. That leaves the right-handed hitting Iannetta and lefty-swinging Tony Wolters. [Read More]

Translations from German to English (Zurich)
Hi there - I'm seeking for a native english speaker who is willing to support me on ad hoc translations. It is about Restaurants descriptions for 'EasyDining' - a 2:1 restaurant platform who will launch a complete new website in 10 days from now in English and German.
For the ongoing support and for the restaurants which will be added to the program, I need some support.
It does need to be a professional translator or so but ideally someone who would understand enough german to translate german restaurant description/profile to english.
