Well I had my third move with Elephant Removals Company and they did an amazing job once again. Very competitive rates and options to suit your needs.
They arrived on time, great guys that moved me, very nice, friendly and professional. The guys are always active, quick, and they know their job and did it well. Nothing was damage or broken.
They place everything in your new home wherever you want them to and they go the extra mile for you. They will look after your contents very carefully and handle with care.
I feel honoured to use Elephant Removals from London again and again, they have a great customer service. There are a lot of cowboys moving companies out there but with Elephant Removals you will never have to worry about anything.
They will treat you with manner and politeness and l would 110% recommended Elephant Removals to anyone.
Stephens of Luton removal to store quote was competitive and the team arrived on time and did a good job. However Stephens failed to provide us with a removal from store quote. As a result we now find they have more that doubled the cost to come out of store! They tried to blame it on delivery mileage but is only a further 9 miles - that does not equate to another £1,000!
We are now stuck with our furniture in store and without the additional means to get it out of store. We are also not allowed to use another company to retrieve the containers but must unload them at Stephens and load them in to another van making that an impossible option.
So we are at an impasse. I shall try BAR and/or the removers association to see if they can mediate but my only recourse beyond that is the law and small claims court.
Using Europe Removals & Storgae Ltd, SW17 was an horrendous experience. The team arrived on time but the supervisor had to leave immediately as they had not brought an adequate amount of packing boxes despite a pre-removal day assessment. This led to the removal men waiting for th supervisor to return and therefore had to rush the job. We were charged an extra £100 on the day as 'we had too much to move' again despite a pre-removal assesment. No choice but to pay as they refused to move it otherwise, we were moving 0.5 miles. Several of our expensive wedding presents were smashed depsite informing the removals men that these items were fragile. The supervisor was very rude, dissmissive and would not listen to any conversation from myself or my husband. I have made several complaints by phone and email and as of yet have had no communication with the manager. I am in the process of taking the company to a small claims court in regards to the £250 damages occured. Do not use this company. I have four other photos of other damaged goods.
A week ago I moved with my family to our new house. A friend of mine recommended a removal company that he used before - Compass Removals. I can say that this is THE BEST company that I ever used. The team came on time, they have a walk through the house and after that explained me everything that they'll do - packing, labeling, taking furniture apart. They work very fast and in no time all my life was in their van. At my new house they asked where I wont every single box and sofa, so at the end of the day all we have left to do is organize our clothes in the wardrobes and cook dinner.I want to specially thanks everybody from Compass Removals for the smooth and totally stressless move. If any one is looking for the perfect removal company give them a try.
We moved to Perth and took half a 20 foot container, the Simpsons saleman come out to our house and we showed him what we wanted to move, we was sent an email quote within two days of them coming out to us. We got other quote and some were cheaper than Simpsons but we had a good feeling about them, when the time came to book the moving day they were very helpful and gave us lots of great information on how to complete the forms. The big day can and the three staff done a great job of packing the goods and loaded it into there vehicle, we did get a call from Simpsons and they told us we had gone over the amount they had quoted for and wanted anothe £275, to be fair I did take some extra items that we did not show the salesman so it was only fair to pay them for the extra work and the extra space in the container. Over all it was a great move and not on thing got broken so hats of to the Simpsons packers and the office staff that held our hand every stepof the way.
I had the move from hell last year in using the services of Fox & Sons based in Cwmbran South Wales.
Having obtained the usual variety of quotes and having three salesmen around to cost the job we settled on Fox & Sons, who were not incidentally the cheapest.
Packing service? Forget it - many boxes were loaded without protective packaging and a valuable painting had a large portable television placed on top of it...
On a wet removal day valuable antique furniture was placed out in the rain before being loaded onto the van (and going into storage for 3 months...) - we were promised that these items would ALL be wrapped prior to removal.
The delivery of our goods 3 months later and 140 miles away was also a farce. Despite being given precise measurements of the access width to the new house a large van and trailer was used, the van couldn't get close access to our house so returned to its depot. The crew unloaded the 7 crates containing our goods and crammed them into a standard size furniture van and a box van for delivery the next day.
Several valuable items of furniture were badly damaged (more broken legs than a football team sees in a year...) or scratched - it was heartbreaking. We were covered by insurance and the claim covered a total of 25 items, including missing jewellery...
Also, all of the clothing put into storage smelled of damp and mould (a small statue had mould growing on it that had to be removed by a specialist company) - hardly a dry or appropriate storage facility then (the company had the cheek to draw our attention to the fact that the summer had been particularly wet....!).
It was 4 months after the move that we got all our furniture back from being repaired and emptied the last packing case!
Following our complaint Fox & Sons did refund some of our fees BUT the simple answer is that they should have returned our goods in the same condition that they were in when they removed them from our previous house.
Please, for your own peace of mind, if you are moving to/from South Wales use anybody but Fox & Sons based in Cwmbran....
I paid Simpsons to ship goods as part of a consolidated container on the 29th of September 2012 to the US East Coast. At the time of booking, I was assured that while they could not give me definite delivery times, it was normally between 8 - 10 weeks with a maximum of 12 weeks. On that basis I booked with them.
I finally received my goods about 24 weeks after I gave it to them - on March 17 2013. Their customer service is very poor - when I asked when I would get my goods, their only response was that in their terms and conditions, they do not guarantee delivery. They then asked me to pay an additional £1,200 if I wanted my goods delivered on time. Alternatively, they told me to come to their warehouse and take my goods and that they would then charge me for storage!!!!
Without doubt, the worst consumer experience of my life.
We have used Giant Removals second time,The removal crew arrived on time, very friendly and very hardworking staff, Giant Removals has provided good packing service using a lot of protecting covers and bubble wrap. Sam and Dawid were so careful with all our belongings, their customer service was good, they were friendly and understanding, Definitely use Giantremovals removal company again
I recently moved from Germany back to the Uk after serving in the HM Forces there, they were hired to move my belongings on the 6th November 2012. When unpacking I noticed damages to one my furniture and fridge freezer.The damage was done in manner that showed complete disregard to my property property.I am not getting much information from the company about what they going to do about it.I definitely would not recommend them to anyone and I would advice any of my former work colleagues who will be making the move back to the UK to consider changing the removal company if they get bishops move.
I moved house only a few weeks ago and had left a wallet containing over £1k in gift vouchers under the mattress as the removal guys had pretty much packed everything away except our bed and my daughters and we were going on holiday the next day. Arrived back at midnight (day before move) and forgot to remove it. Moved Friday. Rememberd it on Saturday but could not find it. I called company on the Monday, not accusing anybody but rather asking where they may have placed it as it was not with the main bedroom things. They denied seeing it and said in a most sarcastic voice that they are not in the habit of employing thieves.. We looked after them all day and gave them a good tip. Make of that what you will but I know who I won't ever be using again!
After having a surveyor coming to my place from "THE MOVING HOME COMPANY", looking quite smart and handing us a DVD package about the company, we decided to wait for the estimate. Once the estimate came with an Acceptance form on PDF file with the breakdown of service, we decided to go for them and have a "problem free" moving experience. My partner and I are flight attendants so we spend a great deal of time away and that is why we decided to spend the money and have that stress taken out of our hands. Far from reality, the experience turned into a nightmare from the moment I accepted and sent my card details and I am still going through it more than half a month later.
One of the staff members was so rude swearing and impolite that in the end we helped them getting things into the new apartment and assembled the bed ourselves because we could not wait for them to go. We ended up having to pay for a taxi to carry our own televisions unpacked , plus two other boxes, because they said there was not room in the truck and it was not safe. The following day I had to go to get my push bike myself. Bear in mind that they offered full packaging of goods and bubble wrap TVs, full covers for mattresses....my mattress was taken into the truck uncovered. The price included £40 for insurance; my washer-dryer is broken as a result of the moving and I do not think that I will get a penny for the repair.
They charged me £92.25 for waiting time on the original day of the removal because our flight was delayed but they did not wait at all and in the end it was us who waited all Friday for them to tell us in the end that they could do it on Sunday. I agreed to that under the condition they refunded the £92.25. I am still fighting with them to get that money back.
Overall, this has become such I nightmare that I wish I had done the moving myself, item by item. That would have been less stressful. The worst custome service ever and that's why I am seeking legal advice and I am so upset about the whole experience, which was supposed to have taken stress off us rather than give us even more, that I am willing to go all the way with this horrible company.
Pers Removals facilitated our move across London and they were great. The crew was pleasant, honest, and they worked really hard on a Saturday. I would recommend them to anyone needing a removal service. We used their full packing service which is worth the cost. We had many small valuable and breakable items all of which arrived in excellent condition. The valuable furniture and antiques were dismantled with skill and sensitivity and were individually walked down three flights of stairs. Nothing was damaged and the furniture was re-built at the new house. The only down-side was a parking fine for the removals lorry, but we were amply warned in advance that this may be a problem and that we would be responsible for the fee. So, no surprises there. The start of the work day was at 8:30 am with an original estimated removal time of 2:00 pm. We had many delicate things to pack and the nature of our furnishings meant that the removal took much longer than anticipated. They finished after 4:00 pm which meant that the delivery, unloading, and unpacking would be in the dark. Under different circumstances the moving crew may have simply decided to stop the job but they continued into overtime with no problems. Everyone worked very hard to make sure everything arrived in the house safely, down a long mews, and in the dark. Great team! We would recommend them to everyone.
I used a cheap-ish company called "van man london" (although the receipt I got was headed "global removal"...)Let's say you get what you pay for: the guys were two hours late, didn't keep me up to speed with their whereabouts and when I wanted a discount for the delay, I was threatened to have the 2 movers forcefully remove my belongings and take them back. Also enjoyed a fair bit of chauvinist patronising which made the experience all the more enjoyable... This sure was a very unpleasant experience. A friend of mine had used them before and didn't have a problem though so perhaps I was just particularly unlucky. But in all the time I have lived in London, this is the worst service I got.
Moving an office in London was a big deal for us but after moving with the removal, we realized that it can be simplified. They were very pleasant to converse with and provided us with advice and tips to move our office quickly and safely. I would recommend this company to everyone for business move.
Removal company They were great packers. However when moved. They had damaged my painting, brand new wooden floor and caused a huge hole in the back of the door. The office manager was so rude about the whole thing. After 14 hours of moving from my 2 bedroom apartment, they have done more damage than good. I will send picture if need be, I called them immediately the next day and they said send us an email and pictures. 12 days later, they said they cannot help and its my problem. Please never recommend them to anyone. If you need pictures, I will send them.

DETROIT - The longest serving member of the Wayne County Commission has given up his seat to pursue other interests.
Bernard Parker has served on the Wayne County Commission for 20 years, but decided to vacate his seat after his district was redrawn to include the Grosse Pointes.
The 62-year-old said he plans to spend more time working at a charter school which he runs.
He also is considering running for a seat on Detroit's City Council.
Parker has been an outspoken critic of Wayne County Commissioner Robert Ficano, who has been wrapped up in a scandal involving the former Airport Authority CEO Turkia Mullin.

Any out there on this place? I think he's the funniest living comedian, the best since Carlin IMO.
i like his humor and attitude best atm.
the series is ok though. could have been better in my opinion.
seems like in the 3rd season he's a little bored by success or something..
I've yet to laugh at one single thing this guy has said/written/performed in, but given the cloud of acclaim that surrounds him my search will go on. Next stop: Seinfeld's guest appearance in Louie.
if you haven't found him funny then you'll probably never will.
I think he's excellent. Loved his guest appearances in Parks & Recreation.
Louie is one of the best. The last episodes in the season were great, I always knew David Lynch wants to make comedies.
I like his show quite a lot. I like the dark but there are great laughs sometimes too. Season 1 episode Dog Pound, there was a scene with the neighbour, which may be the funniest scene of any Tv show or film I've ever seen in my life.
I haven't watched any of season 3 yet.
I think his stand up is funny but his show sucks, IMO. I've tried to get into it and just can't.
Daniel Tosh: Happy Thoughts
What do you laugh at?
I've seen his stand up stuff, and I liked it. Don't know anything about his "tv shows" or current tv appearances so I can't comment on those.
Separate names with a comma.

Easy way to rescue the country from the "fiscal cliff". Just close all these billionaires' tax loopholes. If the Republicans don't want to increase income taxes on millionaires, then go after the billionaires who are paying puny tax rates. That will raise more than enough money to save the country.

These loopholes are a disgrace and show the incompetence and corruption of politicians who serve the interests of corporations more than the interests of the people they are supposed to represent. It is also a bit disingenuous of Eric Schmidt to suggest they are just playing by the rules -- the corporations get the regulations changed so they can exploit them for their own profit at the expense of the common good.
a resident of Gemello

Eric Schmidt and all other corporate execs put profit over ethics and common sense. And I am not surprised by his comments. He and his kind would say the same thing if their profit comes from genocide, human trafficking, money laundering,child labor. Look at Apple, Nike and their profits. these companies have no shame and they don't think ethics matter when it enriches them. What would mr.schmidt think if somebody found some of his money on the road? Woudl he expect that someone to return the money to the appropriate owner? Just because there are ways to exploit loopholes, doesn't mean that you need to cheat by billions in taxes? I have no doubt Mr.Schmidt and his fellow google execs pays less than Mitt Romney in personal taxes and they also think it is perfectly OK for low wage earners not have any health benefits.

"We pay lots of taxes; we pay them in the legally prescribed ways," Schmidt said, according to the article. "I am very proud of the structure that we set up. We did it based on the incentives that the governments offered us to operate."
All I have to say is wow. This is what lobbyist do for the companies.
There should be an investigation on who and how these loopholes were put into place.

Funneling profits through a shell corporation in Bermuda. A shell corporation? Let's call it what it is - a fake, deceiving entity solely designed to evade taxes. Shame on Google, shame on Apple, shame on the U.S. government for sanctioning tax evasion for the hyper wealthy while squeezing every drop of blood of the middle class.

As the Beatles say: Greedy little pigs!
"Have you seen the bigger piggies in their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies stirring up the dirt,
Always have clean shirts to play around in.
In their styes with all their backing they don't care what goes on around,
In their eyes there's something lacking,
What they need's a damn good whacking.
Everywhere there's lots of piggies living piggie lives,
You can see them out for dinner with their piggie wives,
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon."

Tax money should be used for only two things: defending our borders and delivering the mail. The government fails miserably on both of these.
The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are pointless because neither country is a threat for invading our borders.
So why does the federal government need all that ca$H?

I'm totally fed up with these arrogant self-congratulatory tax-evading modern day traitors who run corporations with no regard for this country or this planet.
I fed up. Close all the tax loopholes and exclusions and ploys that so severely reduce US govt REVENUE. Taxes constitute govt income and that is its only source or income.
It is delusion to think that you increase revenue by decreasing expenses (ie govt programs). That merely widens the gap between the two factors but it is not the solution to increasing revenue/income. DuH? It seems the GOoPs (Grand Ol' ornery Party) just don't know that basic dynamic of economics.
I'm fed up... aren't you?

It seems that most of the residents in Mtn View, based on the comments above, do not approve of the tax breaks extended to Google so that they can be based in Mtn View. Perhaps they should look at a new location. I believe they contribute a lot more to the city than most people realize. As an example, free internet. I don't see any corruption either, I am sure they are following all the tax rules that were put in place the legislature and the City council. Would you like it if they took away your mortgage deduction and child tax credit or whatever you do to reduce your on tax burden? By the way, did a poor person ever give you a job?

Oh, but Eric Schmidt is a big-time liberal, so that makes it OK, right?
Never mind, then.

Although legal, the loopholes afforded many corporations, not just Google, rub people the wrong way. If they want to move, it's okay with me. Every time something doesn't go Google's way, there is talk of leaving. Go ahead, leave. Some people don't like being blackmailed.
And as far as what Google gives to the city, they're not doing it out of the goodness of their heart. Free internet for Mtn. View? Whoopee!
And let us not forget, a company cannot survive without the rank and file, i.e. "poor" people. Believe it or not, the "rich" people aren't doing the average worker any favors by hiring them. In fact, salaries have gone down overall because of the economy and employers know the average job seeker will work for less just to have a job.
Maybe if Schmidt didn't come across as smug and arrogant, Google's tax rate wouldn't have been an issue. Perhaps he should let his PR people doing the talking.

on Dec 18, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Google rank and file workers are poor? These are exactly the sort of higher than average wage jobs we need. Since you would like Google to leave Mtn View, who should replace Google that would pay "the rank and file, i.e. poor people" more money than Google pays them now?
Companies are in the business to make money and provide good shareholder value not be warm and fuzzy. I am proud and happy to own 8 shares of Google.

Nowhere did I say I want them to leave. I, apparently like many, simply don't like corporate greed. Comparing individual tax breaks with those of multi-billion dollar companies is not a good comparison.

Wikimedia CommonsIt's the start of a new school year, and for parents of private school students, that means a new round of tuition bills.
Price tags at most schools jumped substantially from last year. The most expensive school on the list costs over $43,000, almost matching the average tuition of a private college, at $43,500, according to CNN Money.
These are the 50 most expensive private high schools in the U.S. based on day-student tuition plus mandatory fees. We excluded schools that were boarding-only and schools for students with special needs.

Actor Paul Walker Dead at 40
Paul Walker best known for his role in "The Fast and the Furious" movies — died Saturday afternoon after a single-car accident and explosion in Southern California.
According to TMZ, the accident happened in Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles. According to multiple sources connected to Paul , the actor was in a Porsche when the driver somehow lost control and slammed into a post or a tree as the car burst into flames.
Paul's rep released a statement about his death, and says "He was a passenger in a friend's car, in which both lost their lives." Witnesses on the scene said the car was Paul's, but also said he was in the passenger seat.
The rep added that Paul was "attending a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide."

Cuba, Missouri is ready for a "cool" Christmas season: the tree, the Christmas print, the History Museum, the parade, the lighting contest, the rocker, and more…
The Tree
Cuba, MO "Route 66 Mural City" has the "coolest" Christmas tree on Route 66. This blog entry from last year shows the tree during its first year that Chris Palmer created it. This year Chris has designed the condenser to look like a gift box under the tree, and he has refined his lighting system. It is located on Route 66/W. Washington. Take your camera for a family picture in front of the "coolest tree on Route 66." Let's see how many of those we can get on Facebook showing the location of the "coolest" tree on Route 66.
The History Museum at Christmas
Cuba's History Museum's special holiday artifacts and displays offer a festive glance at our history.
The Parade & Santa
If you need a little small town Christmas parade footage to go with the tree coverage, the Cuba Chamber of Commerce will have its Christmas Parade on December 8 starting at 6 pm. The parade begins at the historic landmark Wagon Wheel Motel on Route 66 and continues down Route 66 to Smith Street where it loops around to the Lions Den on Buchanan Street where Santa will be greeting the kids. This will be another photo opportunity. While at the Wagon Wheel Motel grounds, check out the vintage Nativity Scene that has been used at the historic motel since the 1960s.
Cuba's First Christmas Painting & Print
This is also the first year that Cuba has had its own nostalgic Christmas Over Route 66 Cuba, Missouri painting and prints. The Hwy 19 Peoples Bank will display the original painting during the Christmas season. Prints can be purchased at the bank or at Spirals Art Gallery on Route 66/East Washington, next to the East Office Bar & Grill. To see the genesis and evolution of the print, read this blog entry.
The World's Largest Rocking Chair at Christmas
You might want to drive 4-miles to the Guinness World's Greatest Rocking Chair at Fanning to get a photo with the festive red & green seasonal lighting.
The Lighting Contest
The Cuba Chamber of Commerce Lighting Contest is also in progress, so you might see some great light displays in some of our neighborhoods or at some local businesses.
Our Churches
Many churches and organizations in Cuba are also having special services and programs during the Christmas Season. Below are some events of the Cuba Ministerial Alliance that we borrowed from a Cuba Methodist Church listing. People who receive a food basket need to sign up with the Ministerial Alliance ahead of time and attend the service on Dec. 12. Please feel free to post other church activities that are occurring in Cuba. Christmas is truly a season of giving, and we urge everyone to look to those in need, whether it is a gift tree for the children or our furry friends at the Cuba Animal Control facility. Or perhaps you know of a special family or situation that could use a little help this Christmas. Cuba is a giving town, and it goes into overdrive at Christmas.
We would be glad to have you enjoy Cuba during the Christmas season and view our new Christmas print, have a meal at a local restaurant, take a night drive by the murals, see our unique tree and rocker, and attend some of our Christmas events. You are welcome in the Mural City the year round.
Check the Cuba Free Press and the Cuba, Missouri Chamber of Commerce website for updated info area Christmas events.

It's no secret the Seahawks are in the market for quarterbacks having traded backup Matt Flynn earlier this week, and they added a familiar name to roster Wednesday, signing Josh Portis to a two-year deal.
Portis signed with Seattle in 2011 as an undrafted rookie out of Division II California University of Pennsylvania. Before that he had previously attended Florida and Maryland.
Portis quickly became a fan favorite for his play in the preseason, and spent his rookie season as Seattle's third quarterback behind Tarvaris Jackson and Charlie Whitehurst. Portis did not make the roster last season, however, as Seattle elected to keep only two quarterbacks on the active roster. He instead spent most of the year on the Seahawks practice squad, but was released from the practice squad in November. Portis signed with the Toronto Argonauts last month, but most CFL contracts allow for players to leave if they get signed by an NFL team.
Portis, 25, will have a leg up on any other quarterbacks Seattle brings in to compete for the backup job—and this is almost certainly not the last move the Seahawks will make at the position—because of his familiarity with the offense. His big arm and athleticism also make him a strong candidate to back up Russell Wilson, a quarterback with similar physical traits. That being said, Portis is still a player the Seahawks were willing to part ways with last season, so he's hardly a lock to win the backup job, let alone a spot on the 53-man roster come Sept.
The Seahawks' signing of former Dolphins defensive tackle Tony McDaniel was first reported last week, but the move finally became official Wednesday.
McDaniel is Seattle's third free agent signing, and also the third addition on the defensive line joining Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett. The Seahawks also announced that restricted free agent defensive tackle Clinton McDonald signed his tender to stay in Seattle.
McDaniel, who signed with Jacksonville as an undrafted rookie in 2006, spent the last four seasons in Miami where he was a rotational player on the Dolphins line, but not a starter. He battled through a knee injury last season, but had 2.5 sacks in each of the previous two seasons and had a career-high 30 tackles in 2010.
McDonald, who came to Seattle in a 2011 trade with Cincinnati, has played in 29 games over the past two seasons and totaled 60 tackles. Those two could compete for a starting job with two-year starter Alan Branch leaving in free agency, though Seattle could also look to second-year tackle Jaye Howard, or address that position in the draft.

The da Vinci Surgical System leverages state-of-the-art robotic technology to maximize benefits during surgery for both the patient and the surgeon. The surgeon's hand movements are translated into precise movements of fully wristed micro-instruments within the operative field. The surgeon's magnified, three-dimensional view further enables the performance of exceptionally accurate dissection and reconstruction of delicate structures, all through a few small incisions. This represents a major advance over standard laparoscopy, which is limited both by the two-dimensional perspective and the long, straight instruments with fixed tips.
It is important to note that The da Vinci System does not make any decisions on its own and can not move without direct input from a console-certified surgeon. A more accurate term for "robotic surgery " is "computer-assisted
laparoscopic surgery" clearly identifying the role the da Vinci System serves as an adjunct to laparoscopy, performing precise maneuvers under real-time guidance from the surgeon.
The da Vinci System has taken surgery to a new level for both surgeon and patient. The surgeon benefits from a comfortable, seated
position with unprecedented visualization, and complete freedom of instrument movements. The patient benefits from the minimally invasive nature of the surgery, decreased blood loss, shorter hospitalization, faster return to normal activity, and minimal scarring. These advantages of the da Vinci System enable experienced surgeons to perform more precise dissection and suturing, particularly in spaces that are otherwise difficult to reach without a large incision. In particular, Dr. Brian Golden has demonstrated excellent cancer control results and low blood loss in both da Vinci prostatectomy and da Vinci partial nephrectomy. In prostate surgery, the da Vinci advantages allow improved preservation of the delicate structures responsible for erectile function and urinary continence.
Three Videos: An Introduction to the da Vinci Surgical System:
In this ABC News interview, Dr. Golden discusses the advantages of robotic surgery:
The key components of the da Vinci System are described in this video:
The precision of da Vinci Surgery demonstrated. How big is the origami bird? See it compared to a common object at the very end of the video:
Binocular Lenses
In contrast to the flat 2-D image in standard laparoscopic surgery, the da Vinci System creates a natural 3-dimensional perspective with accurate depth perception by projecting a different image to each of the surgeon's eyes.
Miniaturized Instruments
A wide variety of instruments makes possible every surgical maneuver, including some not possible during open surgery, and many not possible during standard laparosopic surgery.
Endowrist Instruments
All of the surgeon's wrist movements are precisely replicated by da Vinci instrument tips, allowing complete freedom of movement. This is a major leap beyond the limitations of standard laparsocopic instruments. This advance is immediately clear to any surgeon when delicate dissection or suturing is required.
Real-time imaging, ultrasound in the image to the right, can be viewed by the surgeon alongside the surgical field to help in evaluation of complex anatomy. During the partial nephrectomy seen here, ultrasound was used to assess tumor depth, assisting with tumor excision and enabling maximal preservation of normal kidney tissue.

I agree. There's just one reason Perl 6 is so much nicer to use (even now in its unfinished state) than Perl 5.
What seems to be exciting the likes of Ola is that it's so much more capable than, say, Java's object system and, out of the box at least, gives you nicer objects than you get from unadorned Perl 5.
That's completely true, and I have no objection.
I do expect, however, people who make language comparisons to have used all of the languages they compare. It doesn't suffice to port Java's "Hello, world!" to a new language and then write about how it's impossible to do things in the new language that you d

What the hell is Demar doing out there?
What the hell is Demar doing out there?
vasquez not happy with lowry going to the line
so not a block...JV robbed of some fts
Gordon and DeRozan each with playing awfully and have 3 turnovers each.
They've hit 2 buzzer beating shots as well, hopefully they don't hit one to finish the 4th quarter if it's close...
TRoss is still struggling with his shot. I think it's his 3rd airball in 2 games :/
I can't think of a guy who's played well off the bench...Aaron Gray maybe. Anderson having a better game than his last few, but still not totally locked in.
TRoss playing brutal right now. Air ball 3 point attempt along with some brutal defensive mistakes. With Demar struggling you would hope that Ross could take advantage and play well while he's on the bench. So far, both playing bad. Luckily Amir and Lowry are playing really well and Gay and JV are playing good as well.
The Boys and Girls club commercial is right up there in annoyance level with NBA Cares
Might as well get Anderson and Lucas in there, blegh
Most brutal bball I've ever seen.
This horn problem is brutal

Miguel recently announced the video for "How Many Drinks," from his Kaleidoscope Dream album, and revealed that Kendrick Lamar is the surprise guest feature.
From the set of his video, Miguel live-streamed the announcement, along with Kendrick.
"I thought it would be really cool to incorporate the fans in a really big day," Miguel said. "I'm really excited for everyone to see the visuals that we've come up with and put some thought into."
Miguel said the union with the Compton rapper was important for reasons beyond the musical connection with an in-demand MC. He hopes to show how West Coast-based artists can work together. "Being from Los Angeles I'm really keen on working with artists from my hometown," he said. "Most of them are my friends…"

text: Hi A few months ago I watched this interview with John Harris, who basically tells you, your God given right by Common Law. For me, I never really hear anyone who talks about common law, and if what he says is true then I can understand why we are never taught it. Anyway, he says in law, registration means to hand over ownership of whatever your registering. If you do that, then that item can be taken away from you. Ie your child / vechile etc...From what Ive researched he is right. And on youtube and other websites there are people who claimed they have deregistered their car. This therefore means the ownership of the vechile is yours and anyone who takes will be regarded as theft. Meaning, that its becomes illegal for anyone to tow it away. I was wondering if anyone has looked into this properly, or have done so. Please share Thanks

Train operator ScotRail is set to roll out electronic Smartcards, similar to London's Oyster Card system, on the main route between Edinburgh and Glasgow in a move that could pave the way for a national ticketless travel system to be introduced.
About 12,000 of the electronic cards, which replace season tickets, are being tested during a pilot phase on the main line from Waverley Station to Queen Street passing through Falkirk High.
About £2 million has been spent so far on installing Smartcard readers and pay stations at 70 stations across Scotland's central belt. The pilot, first launched in 2011, has been labelled a success by ScotRail, with the operator gearing up to potentially go live as early as next month on the tested route servicing the Capital.
Smartcards use similar technology to the Oyster Card system.
The move is part of a long-term vision by the Scottish Government to create a Saltire card allowing passengers to switch between different modes of transport without having to buy extra tickets. Each of ScotRail's new automated passes is the size of a normal credit card and contains an electronic chip that allows rail tickets to be stored and read electronically.
Only season tickets will be initially stored on the Smartcards, which customers will validate by waving over automated readers. ScotRail commercial director Sean Duffy said: "To encourage customers to make the switch, the entire Smartcard offering must be seamless. We are ensuring that we have all elements in place and working well before we go live; a dedicated website – where photos for Smartcards can be uploaded online, a specialist customer service team and well-trained staff on the ground to assist.
"To support the roll-out we're producing a range of marketing materials to position Smartcards as the best choice for season ticket holders."
Unlike London's Oyster Card, customers will be unable to load the card with cash and will at first not receive extra savings on normal season ticket prices. ScotRail have claimed the speed and convenience of the system will be among the main advantages. Customers will be able to check their Smartcard account online showing recent journeys and transactions. The scheme's roll-out is expected to be expanded to other key season ticket routes – Stirling, Ayrshire, Aberdeen and part of Strathclyde.
The Scottish Government is running its own Saltire card pilots, offering integrated travel in Dundee and Orkney.
However, opposition parties claimed the Government had been promising a nationwide Oyster card style system for the past four years.
Lothian Green MSP Alison Johnstone said: "Anyone who has used the Oyster card system in London knows that we've got a lot of catching up to do."
City transport convener Councillor Lesley Hinds said integrating Edinburgh's various transport services would "benefit the city's residents, commuters and visitors for years to come."
Boris budget must mirror Edinburgh's
THE bold decision to spend five per cent of Edinburgh City Council's transport budget on cycling has won praise this week in the London Assembly.
London Mayor Boris Johnson was urged to copy the Capital's example by at least lifting his spending on cycling investment in 2013-14 to £145m.
That mark would represent just two per cent of the overall transport budget for Britain's largest city.
Green London Assembly member and former Mayoral candidate Jenny Jones said: "Getting people out of their cars and on to bikes and public transport has a huge health and environmental benefit.
"By 2016 Edinburgh City Council is going to spend nine per cent of its transport budget on cycling, but we are being told our Mayor can't even manage two per cent. London can and must do better."
The motion was seconded by Liberal Democrats leader Caroline Pidgeon and passed by the Assembly.
Lothian cycle campaign Spokes said in a statement: "Already in Edinburgh the impact of the new revenue funding has been noticed and appreciated by people using their bikes for everyday journeys."

The Sahel story not only covers a large geographic area, but deals with numerous issues. How did you approach such a big story?
I couldn't just travel across the Sahel. I didn't go on a journey from east to west across the region, because the issues were very specific, and I had to get special permission, special permits, to go to certain places. I made six or seven trips [to the region] to cover different topics.
What were some of the places where you needed special permission?
For example, to cover the topic of Darfur and the Chad border, I joined a group of rebels. Sahel is a forgotten part of the world and in some parts, like in the north, there aren't a lot of people, so people—like Islamic groups—come [to the area]. This is the reason the U.S. Army is there to train local soldiers. When I went to photograph the U.S. military training, I always made specific trips. To cover modern slavery, I had to go far outside of Timbuktu to a salt mine, which is in the gray zone. In the Sahara there are many gray zones—areas where there is no state, no police, no army.
When you were in the gray zone, what was going through your mind?
I didn't feel there was a problem at all, but you need to be sensitive and aware when you are there. I prepared very well. You need to bring everything with you. You need to know exactly how far you can go, to which point, and how many days you will stay. I also trusted the people who brought me there. From time to time we would meet someone in the area who would come to talk to my guide. The first time I went we had to leave after the first day because there was fighting in the region. Sometimes I stayed three or four days, but I would notice the people I was with weren't comfortable, so I knew I needed to leave.
Did you run into any trouble in the gray zone?
Going there is difficult to organize, and you need to find the right people. But even then, if you stay too long you can get into trouble. You have to feel where you can go. One time when I was going to photograph the salt mine, I was with this driver who was very close with the Islamic group in the area—I was also with a desert guide and a fixer—and after two or three days people from the Islamic group came to talk to my guide. Suddenly I felt my colleagues were not comfortable. The men from the Islamic group questioned my guide, who told them not to worry, that a plane would come to get me at the small airstrip near the salt mine. That wasn't true. I wasn't worried, but I knew there was something wrong even though my guides didn't tell me. They told me when we got back. You have to trust them, because they know the people in the area.
Did you go anyplace you hadn't planned to go?
Sometimes you are lucky to find something that you don't expect. Like this desertification place in Niger with the green and the sand and the trees. I was looking for a long time for a place where you can really see desertification. If you look, there aren't many pictures where you really see this. To show the sand moving is difficult. I investigated and thought I could see this in Niger, but it was more than I expected.
Do you have a favorite photo from the assignment?
I really like the one of the three kids near the wall. They are waiting for the Islamic school to open, and they are very cold. I like it because all the colors are the same, and you feel how they are small and not strong. I like the atmosphere. I also like the image of the two ladies coming back from the well in a huge, huge storm. After months and months of it being dry, finally the rain comes, but it is too much. You feel how these two ladies fight to walk, to move, and you feel like it will never stop. What I have tried to pass along through this story is an atmosphere and a feeling of the area—how the people live there. And with some pictures—like even the first picture with the horse in the storm—you get a little bit of the feeling about the climate and the people living there. Sahel is a huge place, where the people are very friendly and nice, but where they have to fight to survive.

I'm happy for Blake. I hope he wins. And the Portland thing.... Um... maybe they shouldn't have been so QUICK to get rid of DARRYL BOOTLAND!!!!ReplyDelete
I'm happy for Blake too and hope he wins, but my guess is he's made few friends with the Toronto Media who will be doing the heavy lifting to lobby for him to win.ReplyDelete
I think Isles moved Bootland for Keith around the time they got back Jackman. Kip Brennan will be back in about a week when his suspension.

The Little Caesars application is the first of a series of steps to gain employment with the restaurant. It is a relatively quick and easy process that is meant for the company to collect necessary information about you. If you desire to pursue employment with the popular pizza restaurant you should know a few key facts about their application process. Although their process is in fact very similar to most other restaurant applications, there are a few differences presented. On this website you will find the official Little Caesars application as well as tips, tricks, and advice on how to increase your chances of being hired by the restaurant. Refer to the information below to get started.
Online Application
The online Little Caesars application is much different than the traditional paper application. For one it is obviously only available online. It is for this reason that those who are not computer or internet savvy should opt for the restaurant's paper application. More on that for is available below. As for the online application there are a few key things to consider. Opting for the online application is more time consuming than the paper application. The company's online prompt inquires about much more information than what is found on the paper application. In filling out the prompt you will be asked a series of questions that are meant to gather information about your background, character, education, etc. Be prepared to set aside at least 30 minutes to apply online. Other than the inconvenience of how long it takes to fill out, the online option is a very good avenue. For one the convenience of not having to leave your home to apply is a big plus. It is also the future, as it appears traditional paper applications are being phased out.
Paper Application
The paper alternative to the Little Caesars applications is an equally effective way to apply.
The image above will take you to the Little Caesars application printing page
In looking over the restaurant's application it looks very similar to most other basic employment applications. It starts by requesting information such as your name, address, phone number, etc. This is of course basic information that is only used to get your name on their records and establish contact with you. From there it goes on to things such as your education history. Although a high school or college degree will help you secure a job with the company, there are no education requirements to be hired. After you fill in your education information you will be asked to provide three references. In providing references make sure you don't use personal references. Instead include a teacher or past employer of which you are still in good standing with. Be sure not to look this important tip.
Turning In The Application
If you opt to choose the traditional paper Little Caesars application there are a few key tips you should keep in mind. Some people overlook the importance of making a good impression when you turn in your application. Know that when you turn in an application you are making your first impression on your potential future employer. When you show up to the restaurant make sure you ask to turn the application into a manager or supervisor. This will show the restaurant's upper management that you are a go getter that is serious about securing a job with the company. Dress nice and express a friendly demeanor, if the manager likes you right off the bat it will exponentially increase your chances of being called back for an interview.
Now lets talk about the perks you may be eligible for as a Little Caesars employee. It goes with out saying that you will be eligible for discounted pizza. The amount of discount you receive on in restaurant goods will vary from location to location. This discount can range anywhere from a percentage off upwards of completely free pizza. Hey, there's nothing better than free or cheap pizza right? Other perks include things such as medical benefits. It is important to mention that not all positions are entitled to medical benefits. It really depends on what position you hold with the company and how long you have held that position. If you are eligible you can expect to receive benefits such as medical, dental, vision, etc. Other benefits include things such as paid vacation and 401k plan. Consider speaking with your local store manager to see If the position you are applying for is eligible for such benefits.
As an employee of Little Caesars you will obviously be curious as to what advancement opportunities are available to you. Typically if you have little or no experience you will start out at an entry level position such as food prep or perhaps cashier. From there you will likely start out around minimum wage. After an extended period of time you will be eligible for pay raises and position advancement. It is quite possible to start out at an entry level position and quickly climb the ladder to high profile positions such as supervisor or manager. These positions often turn out to be lucrative careers that people right out all the way into retirement.
Equal Opportunity Employer
Littler Caesars is an equal opportunity employer. Feel free to apply to the restaurant without any fear of being discriminated against for your race, sex, etc. This pretty much goes without saying as discrimination in any work place is obviously a thing of the past. As an employee of Little Caesars you can rest assure that you will be treated equally and respectfully. More about restaurant's equal opportunity employment statement is available through their official website. You can read more about their company's equal opportunity policy their main website.
In Closing
In closing I would like to say that Little Caesars is a great opportunity for anyone seeking employment. Turning in the company's application today can get you started on a career path that can lead to great success. If a job with the company appeals to you I urge you to turn in a Little Caesars application today.
Check out our available positions article if you are curious as to what jobs you can apply for with the restaurant.
Thanks for visiting. Additional company information is available throughout this website.

Q. Hi. My friend seems to think there's a bagpipe in Every Teardrop is a Waterfall. She claims it's a bagpipe when Jon plays solo with electric guitar. She was so certain about her being right that I got suspicious, so please tell us whether it's a bagpipe or a guitar. Thanks a lot.
The Oracle replies:
Bagpipes? Wow, I've never been asked that before or heard anyone mistake the guitar for them. Now I listen again, I can sort of see why your friend could think that but no, there are no bagpipes on that track or any other Coldplay song.

I am going to buy a TV tuner for DVR recording on my PC
but I am not quite sure how it works?
this is the model I was looking at
I have a time warner digital cable box
so if the cable box is off, how does the Tvtuner record digital cable from the high channels 100+?
also, the line out from the digital cable box, I then need a second splitter, one to TV and one to PC? (first splitter is modem/box)
and lastly, if the cable box is ON, can I watch one show on TV and still record a different channel on PC?

I am new to c++, so I am still trying to figure out the basics.
When using the cin stream to input information from the console, why does the program always terminate when I press the Enter key?
What is the exact function of the cin stream?
Or just in a simple "Hello World" program, why do I have to create some sort of pause to stop the program from terminating before I can even see the output, "Hello World"?

Electricity is so readily available that we take it nearly for granted. Much of the debate over our electricity sources is focused on climate impacts or air pollution. I have written about both of these issues in earlier columns. One less discussed resource affected by electricity generation is water.
Water and electricity are intimately connected in many ways. All of our methods of producing electricity consume water. This consumption can be direct, such as through the boiling of water in a coal, nuclear or natural gas plant to turn the turbines that generated the electricity. Or it can be indirect, such as the water used in photovoltaic cell production to keep the materials clean. Most of our electricity sources have a mixture of direct and indirect water uses.
Some sources of electricity require more water than others, often tremendous amounts more. If we want to treat water as the valuable resource it is, we must look at our energy choices.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, 53 percent of all of the fresh surface water use in the U.S. in 2005 was connected to the electrical grid. River Network estimates that the average person in the U.S. uses up to five times more water through his or her electricity use than through his or her more direct water consumption (cooking, toilets, washing the car and even the lawn).
In northwestern New Mexico, the Four Corners Power Plant and San Juan Generating Station draw over 46,500 acre-feet of water per year from the San Juan River to cool the plants to burn coal.
The amount of consumptive use in New Mexico in the San Juan Basin on average is approximately 642,000 acre-feet per year, based on the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation 2007 Hydrologic Determination. Therefore, almost 7 percent of the allocated water for consumptive use in the San Juan Basin is used for the northwest New Mexico coal plants.
This industrial water use, which equates to more than 15 billion gallons of water per year, represents a vast use of water at a time where we are recognizing the extreme drought conditions and the fragility of the landscape where we live.
While every power plant and every solar panel factory is slightly unique, and each uses different amounts of water, generalized statements can still be validly made about the relative water use of the different sources of electricity. River Network recently produced a study that looks at the issue (www.rivernetwork.org/news/burning-our-rivers-water-footprint-electricity). Wind and solar photovoltaic electricity generation use much less water than coal or nuclear or natural gas generation, hundreds of times less water.
Our current electricity markets largely treat water use as a free externality, just like the carbon or methane pollution that affects the climate. These failures to take the true costs of our energy use into account in the market continue to lead us down a path that treats our waters and our air as garbage dumps and worthless freebies. It is a short-sighted choice, and is ultimately one we cant afford.

Maggie Cox eBooks
I'm a Londoner by birth and lived there for the first 28 years of my life. The city continues to fascinate and frustrate me in equal measures, even though I've now moved away and live in Kent. I always loved the written word. Books became my passion when I was in primary school. I was either reading or making up stories of my own. When I discovered films as well, that was the icing on the cake. My first viewing of Laurence Oliver as the eponymous 'Heathcliff' in Wuthering Heights - had me hooked on romance - the passionate stormy kind. I like heroes and heroines who love deeply - no holds barred. It probably fulfills that part of my own character that seesaws between conventionality and rebellion! Secretarial work became my chosen career for several years but to tell the truth I never really enjoyed it. When I wasn't up to my ears in typing or making tea for the boss - I was dreaming up stories in my head. Anyway, in 1993 with the encouragement and support of my wonderful husband Gary, I gave up my dalliance with secretarial work and stayed home to concentrate on learning my craft... writing.

The City Council voted Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2014, to begin the bidding process to obtain five dual-power streetcars, though the initial line is expected to include overhead wire as the power source for operations.
Last September the city approved the streetcar plan as part of its larger MAPS 3 development project. Estimates call for the line to begin revenue service in 2017.
Local media report the Request for Proposals (RFP) allows manufacturers room to vary vehicle length, but imposes height requirements to address low bridge clearances along the proposed route.
City engineers expect up to 10 responses from streetcar manufacturers. Likely parties include Alstom, Bombardier, Brookville Equipment Co., CAF USA, Kinkisharyo International, Siemens, and United Streetcar, LLC, all of whom have a U.S. track record providing light rail vehicles (LRVs) and/or streetcars to North American transit properties.

Great win tonight! All we had to do is set a team record hitting 20 3's to beat Memphis and break our losing streak. Now maybe we can follow that game-plan every night and no one will be able to beat us. Antoni is a genius! LOL
Great win tonight! All we had to do is set a team record hitting 20 3's to beat Memphis and break our losing streak. Now maybe we can follow that game-plan every night and no one will be able to beat us. Antoni is a genius! LOL
Also I wonder why they only played Gasol for 26 minutes and Randolph for 29. Those two were causing us mad problems inside in the first.
I'm happy we got the win and really happy TD played so good, if he can get consistent he would be huge for us. But his comments postgame about how the Knicks great D won them the game I just hope they don't truly believe that. 120-99. That's all you need to say.
And im more of a poet than a rapper:
Passing judgement on others
cause of different colors
what about mothers
and baby mothers
remember this though
we are all brothers
wars took lifes of the innocent
in a sense
we are all in it
World War 3
until eternity
come for me
it said dont run from me
but life was fun to me
til' fires my company
your life, your debt, now pay your fee
But what do you really expect? Antoni doesn't think our defense is the problem. Our problems lied with our shooters not making 20 3's like they did tonight. What a crock...lol
Honestly, if we missed half of those 3-point attempts like we do on average we most likely would of lost this game. Our defense was terrible, our offense wasn't much better spacing wise and the only thing we did well was hit our shots. Our coach obviously learned nothing from that losing streak, I've never felt worse after a win.
Sure the team played average D, but the effort simply was not there a lot of the time. Stat let that kid get off 3-4 wide open free throw line jumpers because he didn't bother to step out. We gave up a load of points in transition because we were camping out for the OFFENSIVE rebound and didn't get back quick enough. We got away with the lack of defensive effort today by gambling in the passing lanes and Memphis missing a lot of wide open shots.
That's why this win was bittersweet (to quote Walt Clyde Frazier).
We Won......
......AnTONI Montana Sucks!.......
......What else is new
I really don't want Marc Gasol, his defense is just ewwy.
After watching this game, there are five things that Knick fans can come to conclusions about.
1.Toney Douglas should win NBA sixth man of the year.
2.Chris Paul should sign with the Knicks to play back up to TD.
3. Toney Douglas has the potential to be the next Reggie Miller.
4.Toney Douglas should get a franchise tag under the new CBA rules.
5.The Knicks are the best defensive team in the NBA.
"Stat let that kid get off 3-4 wide open free throw line jumpers *because he didn't bother to step out*."
"Gave up a *ton* of points because we were camping out for the offensive rebound and *didntnget back quick enough*."
Same old story -- we didn't box out, we didn't go for rebounds, we stood around and let midgets penetrate our interior like Mandingo to a schoolgirl.
All totally true. aka as Chauncey Billups has said, and many others (who play quality D)
Defense = Effort.
That is the heart of the matter. The surrounding tissue, which helps, but isn't so profound nor controllable or attainable -- defensive guru head coach, or assistant coach; defensive genius players.
20M/yr, revered, superstar NBA veterans...supposed captains..vocal no excuse players who have been around a million coaches...experts...and advisors...
Won't box the **** out. Try. Give a basic, basic effort.
This has nothing to do with style or schemes or ability -- not with the coach. Or even the players.
This is the epitome of lazy ass bull****-dripping doublespeak excused-talking jive ass hypocritical punks.
A new coach won't change **** by himself, not to any appreciable degree that will dent this true monumental cause of the problem that exists.
Barring the coach having the effect of a therapist and hypnotist.
In which case, these players should just stfu and get pacifiers.
What will help? The same thing that has morphed veteran stars who had been plagued by weak ass D and softness.
eg Pau Gasol
eg Rupaul Pierce
eg Ray Allen
Other veteran players who are bad mother****ers and will expose them for the above and make them feel and look like soft punks if they don't step to.
Plus, the actual *guaranteed* defensive impact of....actual players who play defense.
All I gotta say is...
Toneyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy DOUGLAS!

10/31/2012 : Day 10 Blog Entry
We all remember the movie Finding Nemo and we all feel sorry for wildlife that is illegally and unsustainably harvested. Yesterday we set out from Port-au-Prince to look for frogs and ended up all the way down in Anse-a-Pitre, a small fishing village in the border with the Dominican Republic. We had an excellent time teaching our assistants how to look for frogs and catch frogs without harming them. We also taught the assistants new fieldwork techniques.
10/30/2012 : Day 9 Blog Entry - Part 2
Road distances in Haiti can be relatively short, but it takes effort to travel anywhere, especially in the countryside. We've been meandering our way in a 4x4 vehicle up the dry riverbed sections of the Solie River inching closer to Thiotte, a rather large village in Haiti's southeast mountains and quite possibly the country's coffee capital.
10/26/2012 : Day 9 Blog Entry
Everything in Haiti takes at least twice the effort. The lack of adequate infrastructure, poor road systems, and lack of proper government support to say the least, means that everything here will cost you more, will take longer and might not come out right on the first try.
10/25/2012 : Day 8 Blog Entry
Wildlife conservation has many aspects and fieldwork is only a small part of it. True conservation is achieved when we effect change on those that are most closely involved with the plants and animals we are trying to save. One way of doing this is by bringing endangered wildlife and the pressing issues affecting them to the people. This is what many zoo and conservation institutions like us at the Philadelphia Zoo do routinely.
10/13/2012 : Day 7 - Last Day of Meetings Blog Entry
There is a lot of planning and logistics involved in field expeditions, especially when you are starting from scratch in a place where only a few scientists have been and their research is far and between. Joel and I traced the route that would take us out of Port-au-Prince through Route National #1 and in to Route Haiti 8 east towards the Dominican Republic and then up the eastern pass over Massif de la Selle through Route Departmental 102 which is dirt road fit for the best off-road rally.
10/10/2012 : Day 5 - The real flavor of Hatian Creole Blog Entry
After a long week of planning meetings and workshops, I get to spend some time at the guesthouse where I'm staying so I can do more planning and writing...
10/09/2012 : Day 4 - A UNIQ opportunity to effect change from the ground up! Working with students from Université Quisqueya, Haiti
Quisqueya University is one of the main centers of higher learning in Haiti. It is a private university that emerged from the earthquake with a vision to rebuild itself with an international scope.
10/09/2012 : Day 3 - There's still hope for Haiti's biodiversity, meeting Masani Accimé and Evanita Sanon
Yesterday's meeting was very interesting. It followed the classic line of discussion that occur when you have to many people in the same room. Quickly the group was divided into what was the best strategy.
10/08/2012 : Day 2 - Attending the 'Lancement du Groupe de Travail et de reflexion sur les Aires Protegees'
Working with Société Audubon Haiti has its advantages. The group is very well connected with the local and international conservation community working in the country.
10/07/2012 : Day 1 - Welcome to the Land of the High Mountains
Ayiti means the land of the high mountains; at 8,793 feet (2,680 meters) above sea level, Pic la Selle, which is the tallest peak in Haiti along with Pic Macaya and Morne Kadeneau, which rise to above 7,000 ft, many mountains here are taller than Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in the Appalachians.

Atlanta will be the host of one of college football's new playoff games to determine a national champion.
The college football playoff will replace the much-maligned Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and will be called simply "College Football Playoff." The playoff games will begin in 2015, following the 2014 NCAA college football season.
"We decided to call the playoff what it is — the College Football Playoff," BCS executive director Bill Hancock told the network's Bretty McMurphy. "We think the new playoff will be the most dynamic improvement to college football in a generation. Certainly, it's what the fans want. We also invite everyone to vote online to select the logo and help us kick off the new College Football Playoff."
The Chick-fil-A Bowl, which has been played at Atlanta's Georgia Dome, will join the Fiesta, Cotton, Rose, Sugar and Orange bowls in the six-bowl semi-final rotation for the new "College Football Playoff" that replaces the Bowl Championship Series (BCS), according to a report from ESPN.
Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, will be the host of the College Football Playoff's first national championship on Jan. 12, 2015.
The six sites will rotate in hosting the two playoff games every year. During the 12-year college football playoff contract, the semi-final games will be held at:
• Rose and Sugar bowls: Jan. 1, 2015; Jan. 1, 2018; Jan. 1, 2021; and Jan. 1, 2024.
• Orange and Cotton bowls: Jan. 1, 2016; Jan. 1, 2019; Jan. 1, 2022; and Jan. 1, 2025.
• Fiesta and Chick-fil-A bowls: Jan. 2, 2017; Jan. 1, 2020; Jan. 2, 2023; and Jan. 1, 2026.
Atlanta will also have a chance to host the national championship game in the future. This summer, the College Football Playoff will start accepting bids for the Jan. 11, 2016, and Jan. 9, 2017, championship games.

The Office of Sustainability
The Evergreen State College students, faculty, and staff defined two key sustainability goals in 2005-06, to be both a carbon neutral and zero-waste campus by 2020. These goals were adopted into the college's updated Strategic Plan in 2007, and the campus Master Plan in 2008. Sustainability values permeate all divisions and levels of college operations, and the college coordinates and integrates its decisions and actions with those values in diverse ways.
Evergreen's Office of Sustainability was formed on the President's staff in 2008. Office staff includes the Director of Sustainability and student interns selected to assist with specific campus projects.
The Office of Sustainability coordinates and/or supports:
- Work on the college's carbon neutrality and zero waste goals
- Sustainability work in college operations and academics
- Institutional assessments and reporting (such as AASHE STARS)
- Collaborative community engagement and events
Evergreen's Director of Sustainability chairs the Sustainability Council and advises the Clean Energy Committee.
