text: Hi all Slightly wandering off the beaten track. Does anyone know of any academic or industry R & D that have a simulator that can handle pulse flows in a gas stream? I'm aware of simulators that can handle things like jet and rocket engine gas flows, but these are fairly constant - I'm particularly looking for the pulse type, although I admit I'm not even sure if the math and physics have been worked out for this flow type. The reason? One of the groups I am part of are looking at the development of really old tech in the form of the reciprocating steam engine, and in particular the exhaust system. A lot of work has been done using constant flow gas simulators, but as the exhaust beats increase so the flow dynamics change. So far experimentation has been done physically, and since RGB and Jim's comments sounded whistles I thought I'd ask as the physical approach, unsurprisingly, takes a lot of time!

Opiate abuse may be up, but overdose deaths are flat
Gov. Peter Shumlin highlighted the opiate addiction crisis in Vermont in his State of the State address, but statistics show no significant rise in accidental drug overdose deaths from opiates over the past eight years, according to a new Health Department report.
In 2013 there were 62 drug overdose deaths in Vermont from Schedule II, III or IV drugs, the report says. In 2006 there were 57 overdose deaths. In the interim years, the number of overdose deaths rose and fell slightly.
Of 62 deaths last year, 51 involved a prescription opioid. Eleven were suicides, the report says.
State officials say the number of people seeking treatment for opiate addiction is rising and the state is pouring more resources into treatment.
The state is also in the midst of a pilot program to distribute Narcan, an overdose-reversing drug administered as a nasal spray. State police this month announced that all state troopers will soon carry Narcan with them at all times.
In 2006, there were 50 accidental drug overdose fatalities, all of which involved prescription opioids. There were seven suicides, five of which involved prescription opioids, the report says.
The report only deals with overdoses from drugs known as Schedule II, III or IV, a classification system created by federal law and based on whether the drug is considered to have accepted medical use, risk for abuse and likelihood to cause dependence when abused. Overdoses from heroin, a Schedule I substance, are not included in the report.
Schedule II drugs have a high potential for abuse that can lead to severe psychological or physical dependence. That category includes oxycodone, methadone, fentanyl, morphine, opium and codeine.
Schedule III drugs have less potential for abuse and includes Vicodin, Tylenol with codeine and buprenorphine (Suboxone).
Schedule IV drugs are considered to have a low potential for abuse relative to Schedule III drugs and include Valium, Xanax and Ativan.
The deaths include accidents, suicides and undetermined drug fatalities, the report says. It does not include deaths due to injury such as car crashes related to substance abuse.
Most drug-related fatalities in Vermont are due not to a single drug but to a combinations of substances, such as a prescription drug and cocaine, the report says.

Gainesville-based RegisterPatient.com has secured $4.1 million in funding from two venture capital firms as it prepares to expand its line of software in the growing field of electronic medical records.
Gainesville-based RegisterPatient.com has secured $4.1 million in funding from two venture capital firms as it prepares to expand its line of software in the growing field of electronic medical records.
The company also announced late Monday the hiring of Jana Skewes as president and CEO.
Skewes has 26 years of experience in health care, mostly recently as CEO of Shared Health, a Tennessee company that provides web-based patient information software for medical providers.
Founder David Williams will remain with RegisterPatient to help its growth efforts.
The funding was led by Harbert Venture Partners III along with the Florida Opportunity Fund.
Harbert Venture Partners is a branch of Harbert Management Corporation of Birmingham, Ala., and has has an office in the University of Florida's Innovation Hub.
The Florida Opportunity Fund is funded by the state and the federal State Small Business Credit Initiative. The fund is sponsored by Enterprise Florida and managed by Florida First Partners.
RegisterPatient has seven employees, plus five contract computer programmers, with plans to add 32 employees over the next 18 to 24 months, including sales, marketing, support and programmer positions.
The company has received a $320,000 grant from FloridaWorks funded by the U.S. Department of Labor to reimburse a portion new employees' salaries while they are in training.
The Alachua County Commission also approved a tax refund for RegisterPatient Tuesday through the Qualified Target Industry program by a 3-2 vote. The QTI is worth up to $256,000, or $8,000 per job created, with the county and city of Gainesville picking up 10 percent each and the state paying 80 percent. The refund still needs approval from the Gainesville City Commission at its Oct. 18 meeting.
James Davis, director of sales and marketing, said the QTI would help keep the company in Gainesville. He said Nashville, Atlanta and Birmingham, Ala., cities with health-information technology hubs, are trying to lure them away.
Williams, a registered nurse for 22 years, started the company in 2006 when he saw the frustration of patients in filling out forms prior to appointments.
Drawing on his own knowledge of computer programming, he started developing the company's online tools for patients and medical practices to share records and communicate online, working with local doctors' offices and other businesses to test and develop the software.
He found a programmer in the Ukraine online to help with development. Andy Selutin has since relocated with his family to Gainesville as chief technology officer.
Richard Allen of Synogen Development Group helped the company put together a business plan and a team of investors who provided $250,000 in seed capital in 2009. RegisterPatient launched its retail version for doctors' offices in 2010.
Davis said the company changed focus after attending several trade shows in 2010 where they got more interest from patient record companies than from doctors. He said they also compiled a laundry list of features the companies said were missing from other electronic medical records. They went about designing features that can be sold individually to large health systems or other third-party medical record vendors to integrate into their own software. The investors provided another $500,000.
Davis said the work gave RegisterPatient a head start in developing features in advance of new federal requirements for medical providers to convert to electronic medical records by 2015. He said their partners will soon be rolling out the features to thousands of users.
In the meantime, Davis said three to six new medical practices a day and 500 to 700 patients a month are signing up for the retail version.

Road Safety in 10 Countries (RS10) Project review hosted in the Russian Federation
On 27 March in Moscow, Russian Federation, 38 people joined an advisory board meeting for the country's RS10 Project. Participants represented the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Interior, and RS10 Project Consortium Partners, among others.
They were welcomed by Dr Luigi Migliorini, WHO Special Representative to the Russian Federation, and Dr Victor Kondratiev, Senior Advisor to the Russian Deputy Minister of Interior.
Dr Kondratiev presented the soon to be ratified National Target Programme on Road Safety 2013-2020, which targets a 25% reduction in road traffic deaths during the period. This would be achieved through focusing on risk factor modification, driver education, emergency health services and improved infrastructure.
Dr Dinesh Sethi, WHO EURO, presented the main findings of Global status report on road safety 2013 and its European companion as well as an update on the RS10 Project.
Progress in Lipetsk and Ivanovo
Mr Vitaliy Shikin, Head of Department for Administrative Authorities, Lipetsk Regional Administration, updated on progress in Lipetsk Oblast. Data suggest that although front seat seat-belt wearing rates had levelled off to 75%, there was a 16% reduction in the proportion of drivers speeding. In addition a reduction of deaths and severe injuries was reported.
Mr Alexander Fomin, Deputy Governor, presented the situation in Ivanovo Oblast, where front seat seat-belt wearing had increased to 85% and the proportion of drivers speeding declined by 18%. Both oblasts acknowledged how participation in the RS10 Project had made the roads safer for their citizens.
The group discussed and endorsed the RS10 Project's action plan for 2013, with unanimous agreement that the third risk area would be pedestrian safety within the speed risk factor. In view of the leveling off in Lipetsk Oblast in front seat seat-belt wearing rates, renewed efforts in enforcement and social marketing will be made.
Legislation and enforcement are key components of the RS10 Project, which is funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies.

See that? That's the excellent looking retro action platform from Levels or Lives, Super Fun Games, and Crescent Moon Games. It's called Crystal Catacombs, and was successfully funded on Kickstarter in July of 2012.
To continue the process, the developers want to get Crystal Catacombs on Steam, which is perhaps the most well-known gaming distribution platform for Mac, Windows, and Linux games. The process there is known as Project Greenlight, and Steam members all vote on the games they'd like to see on Steam.

Automated Reporting System Pilot Project in Los Angeles, 1990 (ICPSR 9969)
Principal Investigator(s): Doan, David; Mayes, Bronston T.
The purpose of this pilot project was to determine if preliminary investigation report (PIR) data filed by patrol officers could be collected via laptop computers to allow the direct input of the data into the Los Angeles Police Department Crime and Arrest Database without adversely affecting the personnel taking or using the reports. This data collection addresses the following questions: (1) Did officers and supervisors prefer the automated reporting system (ARS) or the handwritten version of the PIR? (2) Did the ARS affect the job satisfaction or morale of officers and supervisors? (3) Did the ARS reduce the amount of time that patrol officers, supervisors, and clerks spent on paperwork? (4) Did the ARS affect the accuracy of information contained in the PIRs? (5) Did detectives and prosecuting attorneys find the ARS a more reliable source than handwritten PIRs? Officers and supervisors in two divisions of the Los Angeles Police Department, Wilshire and Hollywood, participated as control and experimental groups. The control group continued using handwritten ("existing") PIRs while the experimental group used the automated PIRs (ARS). The General Information Questionnaire collected information on each officer's rank, assignment, watch, gender, age, years with the Los Angeles Police Department, education, job morale, job demands, self-esteem, computer anxiety, and relationship with supervisor and other officers. The Job Performance Rating Form gathered data on work efforts, depth of job knowledge, work quality, oral and written skills, and capacity to learn. The Time Study Sheets collected data on investigation time, writing and editing time, travel time, approval and correction time, review time, errors by type, and data input time for both the handwritten and automated forms. The Evaluation of the Existing Form and the Evaluation of the Automated Form both queried respondents on ease of use, system satisfaction, and productivity loss. The ARS Use Questionnaire asked about ease of use, typing skills, computer skills, comfort with the system, satisfaction with training, and preference for the system. The Hollywood Detective Division ARS Use Questionnaire surveyed detectives on the system's ease of use, task improvement, support for continued use, and preference for the system. The PIR Content Evaluation Form collected data on quality of officers' observations, organization and writing skills, physical evidence, statements of victims, witnesses, and suspects, and offense classification. The Caplan Role Conflict and Role Ambiguity subscales were used in the design of the questionnaires.

An outspoken abortion opponent who ran unsuccessfully for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, Brownback said his party should broaden its agenda but not abandon social issues as it prepares for next year's midterm elections.
"You can't just talk all about economic terms," Brownback told The Associated Press before speaking to a fundraiser for the Arkansas Republican Party. "You've got to talk about terms to the heart."
Brownback said Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, should have talked about issues beyond the economy during his failed White House bid last year.
"I think he got cast or he cast himself too narrow on it," Brownback said. "I think he would have been better off talking about the social issues more. Obama talked a lot about social issues. If people don't hear you talking about them, they don't think they're necessarily that important to you."
Brownback was in Little Rock to speak at the Arkansas Republican Party's annual Reagan-Rockefeller dinner. Republicans won control of the state Legislature for the first time since Reconstruction in November and swept all four of the state's congressional seats.
With the new majority, Republicans in Arkansas successfully pushed for some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country. They include a measure that bans most abortions 12 weeks into a pregnancy, a restriction that has been temporarily blocked by a federal judge.
Opponents of the 12-week ban say it violates the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion until viability, which is generally considered to be around 22 to 24 weeks.
Brownback was in Little Rock the same day a state judge blocked some of Kansas' new abortion restrictions, including a requirement that providers said would make it nearly impossible for a woman to obtain an emergency abortion.
Brownback said Republicans need to continue their opposition to abortion, calling it one of the party's core principles.
"If you believe this is a life, how do you not fight for a life? If you make that determination that this is a life, this is a sacred life, you have to fight for it or what does that say about what you're willing to allow?" Brownback said. "Much of it transcends politics."
During his speech to more than 500 people gathered for the fundraiser, Brownback said Republican state legislators and governors can take the lead in making the party's principles relevant to voters.
"You change America not by changing Washington, but by changing states," he said.

4 Steps to Arranging a Beautiful Coffee Table
Four years ago, Carmella and Russ McCafferty were flat-out broke—through absolutely no fault of their own. Russ, a pilot, had two employers go belly-up in the recession. Then the housing market crashed, and the Florida-based couple had to short-sell their $240,000 house for a mere $80,000. "We felt like failures," Carmella admits.
Though Russ landed a job in Wyoming, flying firefighters to forests inaccessible by roads, "we couldn't get a mortgage," explains Carmella, "and mobile homes fall apart." But a mama in search of a nest is a force of nature, and soon Carmella hit upon an idea: She and Russ, along with their three boys, would live in a 200-square-foot camper and other compromised rentals until they could save up for and move into a custom cabin bought with cash. The price tag for their dream house was $72,000, which covered everything from permits to paint, but didn't include land. Happily, everyone was on board with the plan.
Light, $20: Carmella snapped up this 1918 brass pendant at a nearby Habitat for Humanity ReStore to hang above the kitchen table.
Rack, $35: The bentwood hat rack hails from a local antiques shop; the Stetson belonged to Russ McCafferty's grandfather, a rancher.
Table, $60: When Carmella spied this table at The Salvation Army, it had a 1980s orangey-maple top. Pure White paint from Sherwin-Williams made it marvelous.
Carmella's design for the 665-square-foot space "carefully danced the line between small and too small," she wrote on her website, assortmentblog.com. She'd worked as an interior designer, so she knew how to sketch out plans and where to place outlets—and communicate those ideas to a builder.
Shelves, $26 each: The shelves started as slabs of reclaimed barn wood ($1 or $2 apiece at Habitat for Humanity) and were mounted on $12 iron brackets from Signature Hardware.
Surface, $200: Carmella's "soapstone" counter is actually plywood coated in chalkboard paint and sealed with paste wax.
Stove, $75: No space-hogging hood here! Carmella found this '80s Jenn-Air down-draft range at The Salvation Army.

2. If you formally withdraw from a course, a refund will be made according to the following schedule as determined by the date of the formal withdrawal action.
1. 100 percent refund of tuition and fees -- drop within the first calendar week (Monday to Friday) of the first day of the class.
2. 50 percent refund of tuition -- drop within the second calendar week (Monday to Friday) of the first day of the class.
3. No refund or exchange of tuition after the end of the second calendar week (Monday to Friday) of the first day of the class.
1. 100 percent refund of tuition and fees -- drop prior to the first day of class as indicated in the course schedule.
2. No refund or exchange of tuition after the first day of the class as indicated in the course schedule.
1. The date the drop/withdraw is processed by the Office of the Registrar determines eligibility for a refund. The credit amount on a student schedule bill/receipt given by the Office of the Registrar at the time of the drop may not be correct, changes may occur during the audit process.
2. Evening/weekend class(es) four weeks or longer -- drop must be processed the next working day for the refund to apply.
3. If your registration is canceled as a result of disciplinary action, you forfeit all rights to a refund of any portion of your tuition and fees.
4. If your registration is canceled by a faculty-initiated drop/withdraw, your refund will be based on the date of the drop/withdraw and the policy described in A, B or C above.
5. If you paid fees by personal check, any refund to which you may be entitled will be processed 30 days after your check has been deposited. Proof that your check has cleared your bank will suspend the 30-day wait.
6. If you have a debt with the university, any credits resulting from your drop/withdraw will be applied to that debt.
7. Students who receive any type of external funding, including financial aid, may have their refunds applied to the external funding source. In the case of financial aid, the refund will be applied according to federal regulations.
8. Vocational/technical course fees are subject to this refund schedule.
9. Summer Sessions refund policy is separate and is found in the Summer Sessions catalog.
10. In case the operations of UAF are adversely affected by war, riot, natural act, action of civil authority, strike or other emergency or condition, the university reserves the right to take action to curtail part or all of its operations, including action to cancel classes and action to discontinue services. In any case in which a significant curtailment is judged proper by UAF, the university's liability is limited to (at most) a refund of tuition and fees paid.
Petitions for refund of tuition may be granted when a student has been physically disabled, has experienced a death in the family, has a change in employment beyond the student's control, or has other extenuating circumstances. Written documentation of the condition is required (appeal forms may be obtained from the Business Office, Health Center, Financial Aid office, the Registrar's Office and the Dean of Students office). Petitions are reviewed only if documentation of circumstances is provided. Petitions are reviewed only after a student has officially withdrawn from the course(s). Refund petitions for students who fail to comply with published deadlines, or changes in employment within the student's control, will not be considered. Petitions must be filed by the last day of instruction of the term for which the petition is filed.
Completed petitions may be submitted to the Business Office, 1st floor Signers' Hall.

The recent "life hack" of journalist Mat Honan has demonstrated the degree to which many technology-savvy consumers have tied together numerous online services, including Gmail, Twitter, Amazon, and Apple iCloud. Due to rampant password reuse, however, attackers have been able to take passwords used on one site, and reuse them to log into a person's account on another site. In the case of Dropbox, that means that any corporate secrets stored there could be easily accessed.
An example of such an exploit came to light this month, owing to a Dropbox employee having stored an unencrypted document on the service that contained Dropbox users' email addresses. An attacker logged into the Dropbox employee's account, using a password that the employee had reused on another--compromised--site, obtained a copy of the document, then used the email addresses to unleash a flood of spam at Dropbox users.
[ What will it take for cloud service providers to get serious about social engineering attack vectors? See Apple, Amazon Security Fails: Time For Change. ]
Given the threat of such attacks, any business with employees that use Dropbox should keep the following five information security essentials in mind:
1. Monitor Dropbox Use
Too many businesses today are turning a blind eye to employees' use of file-sharing services. Accordingly, the first step to getting a handle on the related security concerns is to begin paying attention. "Based on our conversations with business users and IT staff, there is a fair bit more 'Dropbox' and 'Box'-like use out there than many enterprise IT would like or know about," said IDC analyst Richard Villars via email.
What's the risk? "The more we transfer everything onto the Web, onto the cloud, the less we're going to have control over it," warned Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak at a recent event in Washington, reported Agence France-Presse.
2. Compare Cloud Service Security
But many current cloud users don't do their security homework. According to a recent survey of 4,000 business and IT managers recently conducted by Ponemon Institute, which was commissioned by security firm Thales, many business users distrust cloud security, but use the cloud anyway.
"Nearly two-thirds of those that move sensitive data to the cloud regard their service providers as being primarily responsible for protecting that data, even though a similar number have little or no knowledge about what measures their providers have put in place to protect data," according to a report written by Larry Ponemon, chairman of Ponemon Institute. Accordingly, businesses must evaluate whether the cloud services being used by their employees are safe for doing business, and if they're not, which add-ons--or entirely different services--should be used instead.
3. Beware Lackluster Security Cloud Service Practices
Are cloud providers serious about security? Consider that in the Dropbox password breach that came to light this month, the company only reset the passwords of users who were known to have been affected--because their usernames or other credentials had been seen in uploads hackers made to password-cracking forums. But security experts believe that attackers typically excise any passwords they've already cracked from such uploads, as well as edit out duplicates, and they've criticized such services for not resetting all users' passwords.
"LinkedIn made the same mistake a few months ago--they only reset the passwords for the accounts they believed to be affected," said Rob Sobers, technical manager at Varonis Systems, in a blog post. "What did they base this on? The list of hashes that were published by the hackers? Is it beyond the realm of possibility that the attackers might not have published the whole list? They're hackers!"
On the upside, however, in the wake of Dropbox's password breach, the company said that it would be introducing two-factor authentication, alerts whenever it detected odd user behavior, as well as audit logs of user access.

In the Garden:
Upper South
July, 2009
Regional Report
Even ordinary plants can have exceptional fragrance, such as petunias, which release their scent in the evening.
Fragrance in the Garden
Through the open door and windows of my office, the delightfully sweet scent of the appropriately named summersweet (Clethra alnifolia) makes sitting inside in front of a computer bearable. Relaxing on the porch in the evening during summer is made even better with lily-like fragrance of the flowering tobacco (Nicotiana alata) planted nearby. A variety of herbs, with their scented foliage, are just outside another door. So, literally, I have surrounded myself with fragrant plants, and there are many more throughout the garden and through all the seasons as well. I plan for fragrance and revel in it.
Of all our senses, many people consider that of smell is the most powerful force in triggering memories and emotions. Not surprisingly, the fragrance in plants isn't just for us. In the natural world, scent plays a crucial role as it facilitates interactions between flowers and their pollinators and protects plants against attacks from predators. These significant interactions plus ideas for using fragrant plants in the garden are in the newest All-Region Guide from Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Fragrant Designs (Brooklyn Botanic Garden, 2009, $9.95).
Although there are over a dozen books on gardening with fragrance in my library, this book offered some particularly interesting short essays exploring the science of scent and the connections between flowers and their pollinators in this book. At the heart of Fragrant Designs, however, are the eight detailed garden plans, including illustrations and planning guides. These include a front yard garden, wildlife-friendly street-side strip, native woodland garden, evening garden, container garden, children's garden, path, and rose garden. Over 100 fragrant annuals, perennials, vines, shrubs, and trees are described and illustrated with color photos, plus alternative selections are suggested. Garden design ideas, such as offered in this book, are obviously arbitrary, and rarely are an exact fit to our own situation, but they do provide a great starting point for the creative process.
Creating A Scented Evening Garden
There is something magical about being outdoors on a summer evening, watching fireflies blink on and off, casually talking over the day with a loved one, sipping a cool refreshing beverage, listening to the tinkling sounds of a fountain. Now, add the element of fragrant flowers, and the night is perfect.
Producing scents that lure pollinators requires energy, so many plants wait until their pollinators are active to release their fragrance. Since moths are nighttime creatures, the flowers that need them release their scents after sunset. They also tend to be tubular or funnel-shaped, accommodating the nectar-extracting proboscis of a moth, plus they are usually white or light-colored, as these are easiest to see at this time of day (for both moths and us). The scents are mainly very sweet, with sometimes a hint of lemon or almond.
Among the design tips that Fragrant Gardens offers is to site the evening garden as near the house as possible to ensure easy access. For safety, choose a level site and pave path with a light-reflecting material like gravel or oyster shells. Include candles, torches, or simple garden lights. Of course, include plenty of comfortable seating. And don't overlook the possibility of growing evening-scented plants in containers on a deck or terrace.
The plants suggested for a scented evening garden in Fragrant Gardens include angel's trumpet (Brugmansia x candida), citron daylily (Hemerocallis citrina), moonflower (Ipomoea alba), night stock (Matthiola longipetala subsp. bicornis), sweet four o'clock (Mirabilis longiflora), flowering tobacco (Nicotiana x sanderae 'Perfume Deep Purple'), pale evening primrose (Oenothera pallida), holly olive (Osmanthus heterophyllus), petunia hybrids, sweet azalea (Rhododendron arborescens), Adam's needle (Yucca filamentosa), and night phlox (Zaluzianskya capensis).
Some of these are old favorites, while others are either totally new to me or ones that I've been wanting to try. They'll definitely go on next year's shopping list. Hopefully, you'll be inspired to notice garden fragrances more than ever before and include more in your garden, too.

Gay Man Fired for Touching Woman While Preventing Her From Plummeting to Earth
Self-described "100% gay" skydiving instructor Donald Zarda was fired from his job after a woman (to whom Zarda was strapped, during a tandem skydive) complained he sexually harassed her, somehow, while skydiving. Thought I had a joke, but no.
Donald Zarda was strapped tightly to the woman, identified only as Rosanna, as they floated to earth in a tandem jump June 18, when he told her, "Don't worry, I'm gay." ...
Zarda says Maynard accused him of "inap propriate behavior" and also said he had touched the student "in a way that made her uncomfortable."
I guess there's some sort of riff on "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" to be made, but it just feels forced. Sometimes strange things happen in this world of ours.

MEDA programme
To implement the cooperation measures designed to help Mediterranean non-member countries reform their economic and social structures and mitigate the social and environmental consequences of economic development.
Council Regulation (EC) No 1488/96 of 23 July 1996 on financial and technical measures to accompany (MEDA) the reform of economic and social structures in the framework of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership [Official Journal L 189 of 30.07.1996].
1. The MEDA Regulation is the principal instrument of economic and financial cooperation under the Euro-Mediterranean partnership. It was launched in 1996 (MEDA I) and amended in 2000 (MEDA II). It enables the European Union (EU) to provide financial and technical assistance to the countries in the southern Mediterranean: Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, the Palestinian Territory, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey. The MEDA programme takes the place of the various bilateral financial protocols that exist with the countries in the Mediterranean basin. It is inspired by the Phare and TACIS programmes, especially as regards transparency and information. A budget heading is established for financing the programme.
2. Actions under the MEDA programme aim to fulfil the objectives of the three sectors of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership:
- reinforcing political stability and democracy;
- creating a Euro-Mediterranean free trade area and the development of economic and social cooperation;
- taking due account of the human and cultural dimension.
Measures supported
3. The MEDA programme supports the economic transition of Mediterranean non-member countries (MNCs) and the establishment of a Euro-Mediterranean free trade area by promoting economic and social reforms for the modernisation of enterprises and the development of the private sector, paying particular attention to:
- support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and job creation;
- the opening-up of markets;
- promotion of private investment, industrial cooperation and trade between the various partners;
- upgrading of economic infrastructure, including the financial and taxation systems;
- consolidation of the major financial balances and creation of an economic environment favourable to accelerated growth (support for structural adjustment).
4. The MEDA programme also supports sustainable socio-economic development, in particular through:
- the participation of civil society and populations in the planning and implementation of development measures;
- the improvement of social services (education, health, housing, water, etc.);
- harmonious and integrated rural development, including agricultural development;
- the strengthening of democracy, human rights and the rule of law;
- the protection and improvement of the environment;
- the upgrading of economic infrastructure, especially in the sectors of transport, energy and the information society;
- the promotion of youth exchanges and cultural cooperation;
- the development of human resources (vocational training, improvement of scientific and technological research).
5. In addition, MEDA supports regional, sub-regional and cross-border cooperation, in particular through:
- the establishment and development of structures for regional cooperation between Mediterranean partners and between them and the EU and its Member States;
- the establishment of the infrastructure necessary for regional trade in the areas of transport, communications and energy;
- exchanges between civil society in the Community and the Mediterranean partners within the framework of decentralised cooperation through the networking of civil society actors (universities, local communities, associations, trade unions, the media, private business, non-governmental organisations, etc.).
6. The Regulation stresses that the programming and implementation of cooperation must take account of gender equality and the promotion of the role of women in economic and social life. The measures financed under the Regulation must also give due regard to environmental considerations.
7. According to the MEDA Regulation, respect for democracy, the rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms is an essential element of the partnership, the violation of which justifies the adoption of appropriate measures. These measures can be adopted by the Council acting by a qualified majority on a Commission proposal.
8. In order to achieve its objectives, the MEDA II programme was allocated EUR 5 350 million for the 2000-2006 period.
9. The activities financed under MEDA may take the form of technical assistance, training, institution-building, information, seminars, studies, projects for investment and action designed to highlight the Community nature of the assistance.
10. In particular, MEDA financing takes the form of:
- grants managed by the European Commission and used to finance or cofinance activities, projects or programmes that contribute to the realisation of the MEDA programme's objectives;
- risk capital provided and managed by the European Investment Bank (EIB) to strengthen the private sector, especially the financial sector;
- interest rate subsidies for EIB loans within the framework of environmental cooperation, not exceeding a subsidy rate of 3%.
11. Community financing may cover expenditure on import of goods and services and local expenditure needed to carry out the projects and programmes envisaged. Taxes, duties and charges are excluded from Community financing. Direct financial assistance for the partner country may also be granted to support economic reform programmes within the framework of structural adjustment programmes.
12. Community financing in the production sector is combined with the beneficiary's own resources. The amount provided by the EU should not exceed 80% of the total investment costs. Community financing may also take the form of cofinancing with other bodies.
13. The beneficiaries of MEDA financing may include not only states and regions but also local authorities, regional organisations, public agencies, local communities, organisations supporting business, private operators, cooperatives, mutual societies, associations, foundations and non-governmental organisations in the EU and the Mediterranean partners.
14. The Commission plays an important role in ensuring the effective coordination of the assistance efforts undertaken by the Community, including the EIB, and individual Member States, in order to increase the coherence and complementarity of their cooperation programmes. In addition, the Commission promotes coordination and cooperation with international financial institutions and other donors.
15. Measures financed under the MEDA programme are selected taking account of the beneficiaries' priorities, evolving needs, absorption capacity and progress towards structural reform. The provisions of association or cooperation agreements are also taken into consideration.
16. Strategy papers covering the 2000-2006 period are drawn up at national and regional level in liaison with the EIB. These strategy papers aim to define the objectives of cooperation in the long term and determine the priority areas of action.
17. National Indicative Programmes (NIPs) and Regional Indicative Programmes (RIPs) covering a three-year period are then drawn up on the basis of the strategy papers and agreed by the EU and each Mediterranean partner. These programmes define the main objectives of, the guidelines for, and the priority sectors of Community support together with factors for the evaluation of the programmes. The programmes include indicative amounts and list the criteria for funding the programme concerned. They may be updated annually and adapted to changes in each partner country.
18. Finally, financing decisions are drawn up annually on the basis of the national and regional indicative programmes in liaison with the EIB. They contain a list of the projects to be financed.
19. The strategy papers, indicative programmes and financing decisions are adopted by the Commission, according to the management procedure, following consultation of the MED Committee, composed of representatives of the Member States and chaired by the Commission representative. For greater efficiency, financing decisions totalling less than EUR 2 million are taken by the Commission, which then informs the MED Committee immediately.
20. Decisions on interest rate subsidies are taken by the Commission, which informs the EIB of any such decisions. The EIB decides on the allocation of risk capital following approval by a committee composed of representatives of the Member States and informs the Commission accordingly.
21. The actions and programmes financed under MEDA are subject to the award of contracts through tendering procedures which are open on equal terms to all natural and legal persons in the EU Member States and the Mediterranean partners. The Commission ensures the necessary transparency and effective competition in the award of these contracts and maximum dissemination of the relevant information through the Official Journal of the European Communities and the Internet.
22. Contracts are awarded in accordance with the relevant provisions of the EC Financial Regulation, taking into account the principles of sound financial management, economy and cost-effectiveness.
Monitoring and evaluation
23. In addition to an overall assessment report and a mid-term evaluation, the Commission, in collaboration with the EIB, submits an annual report to the European Parliament and the Council summarising the actions financed during the year and assessing the results obtained in relation to the strategy papers. This assessment is now included in the Commission's annual report on EC development policy and the implementation of external aid (2001 report) [PDF].
24. No later than 31 December 2005, the Commission must submit to the Council an evaluation report accompanied by proposals regarding the future of the MEDA programme with a view to its review by the Council.

Maximize miles
Pain at the pump. You can relate to that feeling; it's one you've had for far too long.
While you may have invested in a fuel-efficient car to ease the pain, that vehicle isn't as practical as a pickup truck when it comes to hauling a load or pulling a trailer.
To maximize miles, Chris Houts has created a device to boost the mileage of a vehicle by 20% to 30%. It is an old concept – a hydrogen fuel-injection (HFI) system – that utilizes modern, quality parts.
"This system fits under the hood," says Houts, co-owner of ZEM Tech, located in Wadena, Minnesota.
In the two-year development stage, Houts researched and built prototypes to test on his own vehicles. He appreciates the cleaner emissions and the mileage boost on his V-8 Tahoe from about 15 miles per gallon to 19 miles per gallon.
The system works on gas, diesel, and all internal combustion engines. Houts calculates that the return on investment for the system is one year or less.
How it works
The ZEM Tech HFI system includes an electronic control module, a 1-quart reservoir for water that lasts up to 1,000 miles, the HFI cell, and hoses that connect everything together.
"This system uses electrolysis to split water into its elements," Houts explains. "The key is to do it efficiently."
Through electrolysis, the water circulates between the reservoir and the HFI system cell. This creates hydrogen gas that flows to the top of the tank and goes into the engine's air intake and the combustion chamber to mix with fuel.
Hydrogen is an energy carrier. When injected in the combustion chamber, it increases the fuel's efficiency by accelerating the rate at which the host fuel burns. Instead of going out of the tailpipe and creating harmful emissions, the results are more energy for better mileage, torque, and horsepower, and reduced emissions.
"The system turns on with the key," Houts says. "When the vehicle is off, it's just water."
What sets this system apart is that Houts and his partner use quality parts, 95% of which are made locally. Like many HFI system builders, they started with low-grade materials that deteriorated quickly and required the system to be flushed often.
After a lot of research, they switched to a material that supersedes all others. That proprietary information is what sets this product apart and makes it durable and easy to maintain.
No flushing and no other maintenance are required. Simply add steam-distilled water when the tank is running low.
"If you run out of water, the system goes to sleep, and it's not going to hurt anything. You'll just notice the mileage decreasing," Houts says.
A trained technician must install the HFI system. ZEM Tech supplies the hydrogen injection sticker for the back of the vehicle as required by the DOT.
What will it cost?
The company manufactures two system sizes:
• One for four- and six-cylinder vehicles with 5-liter or smaller-size engines ($599).
• One for eight-cylinder vehicles and small tractors ($799).
Installation costs an additional $100 to $150. The system includes 1 gallon of the main solution to get you started.
A one-year warranty is included, and the company offers a $60-per-year extended warranty.

Date: Saturday, February 3, 2018Location: Albany Law School, 80 New Scotland Avenue, Albany, NY 12208More details will be available soon.
The Law, Youth and Citizenship Program administers several nationally renowned civic education programs, as well as sponsoring many local and regional civic education events. LYC also works with New York teachers and school districts to offer no-cost
professional development in the areas of civic and law-related education. The LYC program also offers many no and low-cost publications to teachers, as well as rich online resources for classroom teachers.
We the People: The Citizen & the Constitution
In December of 2003, the LYC Program of the New York State Bar Association became the New York State Administrator of the We the People Program of the Center for Civic Education. The program was recently defunded by Congress, but LYC still maintains
support for the many NY teachers using the program.
The primary goal of We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution is to promote civic competence and responsibility among the nation's elementary and secondary students. What makes the program so successful is the design of its instructional
program, including its innovative culminating activity. The instructional program enhances students' understanding of the institutions of American constitutional democracy. At the same time, students discover the contemporary relevance of the Constitution
and Bill of Rights.
The culminating activity is a simulated congressional hearing in which students "testify" before a panel of judges. Students demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of constitutional principles and have opportunities to evaluate, take, and defend
positions on relevant historical and contemporary issues.
CLICK HERE to see our We the People students demonstrate their knowledge. Students from the Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn participated in a live We The People demonstration at the 2010 NYSBA Annual Meeting. Students were
asked questions about the U.S. Constitution and its applicability to current times. Judges were members of the New York State Bar Association's Law, Youth and Citizenship Committee.
Past State Bar President A. Thomas Levin of Garden City (Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein, PC) and Hon. Jonah Triebwasser of Red Hook (Town and Village of Red Hook Courts) presented the Committee on Law, Youth & Citizenship's reported on civic
education. The LYC program reaches more than 500,000 students in New York each year through its many civic education programs.

Chess Match: Easy Game 3 moves
Run-of-the-mill decisions for Francona, Wedge in Cleveland
By Jason Beck / MLB.com
It's Trot time now
The situation: Indians manager Eric Wedge is weighing who on his roster has the best shot at hitting Daisuke Matsuzaka.
The decision: Less than 48 hours after Trot Nixon's go-ahead single helps the Indians win Game 2 in extra innings, he's in the starting lineup for Game 3, playing in right field instead of young Franklin Gutierrez.The outcome: Nixon goes 0-for-3 with a strikeout and two groundouts. The analysis: Wedge told reporters beforehand that he made the switch less for momentum and more to keep Gutierrez away from Matsuzaka's breaking ball. It didn't work out, and ironically, Nixon struck out on a Dice-K breaking ball. None of Nixon's at-bats came with runners on base, so it didn't make a big difference in the offense.
"You know, I look at Gutierrez, and we've thrown a lot at him for a young kid, and he's done a great job. He had a big home run the other night. But they've been feeding him a steady diet of breaking balls, and I think we'll see more of that tonight with Matsuzaka. -- Wedge, on Gutierrez before the gameEnough for Westbrook, plenty for Lewis
The situation: Top of the seventh inning, two outs and runner on first for Dustin Pedroia, who's the potential tying run.
The decision: Wedge removes Westbrook for rookie reliever Jensen Lewis, who pitched in each of the first two games as well.The outcome: Lewis strikes out Pedroia for his only out to carry the lead to Rafael Betancourt in the eighth. The analysis: Though Pedroia has been struggling this postseason, the last thing Wedge probably wanted to do is put Westbrook in a position to lose this game. That said, the move showed a lot of trust in Lewis, who now has 3 1/3 scoreless innings in this series.
"I really didn't want to use Betancourt for more than an inning. I know that he would've been more than willing to, but more times than not, I'd probably bring him in and let him run through the eighth. But with the way Lewis has been throwing the ball and the way he's been competing, we were able to go to him right there and had [Rafael] Perez ready if needed, and we were able to keep Betancourt to one inning." -- WedgeSticking with Dice-K
The situation: Bottom of the fifth, one out, runners at the corners and one out for Travis Hafner in a 3-0 game.
The decision: Red Sox manager Terry Francona sticks with the struggling Matsuzaka -- who had given up three straight baserunners -- against Hafner, who had taken a called third strike and walked in his previous plate appearances.The outcome: Hafner grounds into a fielder's choice, barely beating a double-play throw, but Grady Sizemore scores from third base to make it a 4-0 game. Francona lifts Dice-K a batter later after Victor Martinez singles on Matsuzaka's 101st pitch of the night. The analysis: Matsuzaka has worked into big pitch counts all season, so one more batter wouldn't be a big deal to him. Plus, Boston's bullpen depth is questionable at best. Still, Hafner had a chance to further pad Cleveland's lead. Francona's only choices were to hope for the double play or strikeout.
"I thought he threw some good pitches. I thought he had some depth to his slider and there was some differential, and I thought his fastball was good. Just a lot of deep counts." -- Francona, on Matsuzaka's performance

Google Instant Censors Sex-Related Searches
Oh, no! Google Instant doesn't like your filthy word searches! You may have noticed something new happening in Google lately. When you start to type in a word, the search engine "helps" you finish the word. At first I didn't like it — I type super fast and Instant slows me down — but I've realized it actually does help. Except if I'm searching for penises! Or vaginas! Or porn. As Mashable points out, Instant offers no help if you're looking for things sex related. For example, start typing in the word "penis." Instead of finishing the wang word for you, it offers … "penny arcade." Um, no. What about "vagina"? You get … Vagisil. That is not what I was looking for, Google. And the ever popular "porn"? You get nothing. No help for you, porn searchers! Google says it's to protect the kiddies. What do you think? [BuzzFeed]

Not sure that's quite right when representing the abhidhamma (and commentarial in particular) manner of approaching this issue. Perhaps if you said - "it is the view of the very reality of the conditioned dhammas themselves which is regarded as panna (wisdom) rather than delusion" - that might be a little closer to what abdhidhamma (and commentaries in particular) are saying. Anyway, the point is I guess that afaik there's no place in the abhi/comm that says that dhammas are in fact not conditioned. So, if they're in fact conditioned, then such words as "exist, reality, mirage" etc need to be considered in the context of conditionality.retrofuturist wrote:Greetings,
This bolded section seems strongly opposed to the Abhidhamma world-view, where not only are paramattha-dhammas not an illusion, they're deemed to be ultimate realities. Note, it's not their illusory nature that is deemed the ultimate-reality in the Abhidhamma schema, but it is the view of the very existence and reality of the dhammas themselves which is regarded as panna (wisdom) rather than delusion.Ñāṇa wrote:Ven. Ñāṇananda, Seeing Through: A Guide to Insight Meditation:
- The Buddha has compared the aggregate of perception to a mirage. Now if perception is mirage, what is 'rūpa saññā' or a visual percept? That also must be a mirage. What about 'sadda saññā'? What about the auditory percept or what strikes the ear? That too must be a mirage. Though it is not something that one sees with the eye, it has the nature of a mirage. To take as real what is of a mirage-nature, is a delusion. It is something that leads to a delusion. It is an illusion that leads to a delusion. In order to understand deeply this mirage-nature in sensory perception, there is a need for a more refined way of mental attending.
So, sometimes more positive statements like "reality" seem useful, and sometimes more negative statements like "mirage" seem useful, but none of that defies conditionality and therefore shouldn't be considered in the context of eternalism/nihilism. My own conjecture is that in the commentarial approach more positive statements are used for describing the initial stages of insight, whereas more negative statements are used to describe more advanced stages of insights. In the case of Ven.Nananada, I'm guessing he's on the more advanced stages, hence his preference for more negative statements, but then again his "mirage" statements shouldn't be considered in the context of nihilism, but in the context of conditionality, just like abhi/comm. Otherwise, neither makes much sense.
Best wishes

I bet you never thought you'd hear the words, Ke$ha and Global Ambassador in the same sentence, but it's true.
[photogallerylink id=82400 align=left]Ke$ha has been named the Humane Society International's first ever, global ambassador. She is asking her fans to join her in the fight against animal cruelty.
She said, "I am honored to be the first HSI Global Ambassador because my music is inspired by the freedom and primal beauty of animals and the natural world. I take this opportunity incredibly seriously because we are ALL animals. One of the main underlying sentiments of my music is to respect all living creatures just as they are. I believe that together, we can change laws that allow innocent animals to be unjustly mistreated and abused all over the world."
Way to go [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Kesha[/lastfm]!

Wait, every time you say "children in a van" you cut out.
No seriously. I hear "children in a van" and then "shhhhhhhhhhhhhh" like this is some top secret message that's being intercepted by the FBI.
17 children?
Dancing to what?
No license plates or Ohio license plates?
That's just as bad.
Wait, I thought you said seventeen.
How do you fit seventy five thousand children in a van?

Twitter Files: Celebs Take To Twitter To Express Sadness At Wild Animals Being Killed In Ohio
R.I.P. to the lions, and tigers, and bears…oh my.
Yesterday we reported on the release of wild animals in Ohio. Several celebrities including Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash, DJ and LiLo ex Samantha Ronson, DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba, and long-time animal expert Jack Hanna all took to their Twitter page to let their feelings known about the tragic situation.
Despite some folk's outrage, Jack Hanna made it clear that he understands that some of the animals had to be put down to ensure public safety.
"I'm sorry to say, but what the sheriff did had to be done," Hanna told ABC News' Diane Sawyer. "Otherwise, we would have had carnage out here in Zanesville, Ohio."
As expected, PETA also tossed their two-cents in the media as well
PETA released a statement saying, "The shooting of dozens of exotic animals in Zanesville is a tragic example of just how wrong things can go when people are allowed to keep wild animals. PETA hopes that this will serve as a wake-up call to Ohio Governor John Kasich, who earlier this year refused to extend an emergency ban on exotic animals in the state that had been put in place by his predecessor."
The latest news is that there is only one animal still on the loose, a monkey infected with herpes B virus, according to the sheriff's office.
Are you disturbed by the killing of these animals or do you believe that the Sheriffs Department is just doing what was necessary?
Flip the script to peep the tweets.

I finished building my WFO last week and plan to bake my first pie this Monday. I plan to use CF, not a sourdough variety (this time around anyway...).Got a good starting point ?
go with the AVPN foolproof formula.1L Water1.650 to 1800 Kg Flour (depends in how strong the flour is)50 to 55g Salt3g of CY or 1g of IDY2h bulk, 6h balled all Room temp.
Out of curiosity, yesterday I implemented Andre's AVPN dough recipe. Unfortunately, my Caputo "00" Pizzeria flour had gone bad, so I used Caputo "00" Extra flour. The bake results came out better than I expected. They were not anything spectacular, but not bad for an 8-hour (2+6) dough. This is definitely not my style. Good day!Omid
Hi Omid, the pizzas look very good, thats what most regular pizzerias in Naples serve, the more traditional pizzerias (the ones we always talk about here in the forum) have flour blends and longer maturation periods.
Is there a page with more detail on the AVPN recipe? I'm looking for a recipe to use w/caputo OO & IDY and this one fits the bill. I'm interested to know about rise times, overnight rising in a fridge, etc. If the there aren't other additional details other than to experiment and find what is right for me, I'd love any advice that people have on what has worked well for them. I still learning to use my WFO and am looking for something that will serve as a good foundation for later experiments. Thanks, -Paul
Is there a page with more detail on the AVPN recipe?
Beautifull looking pies as always Omid, it's fantastic the results you've got whatever the recipe is ! Nice litle mako on the cornicione I was thinking you can only have those with more hours of fermentation. Was the pizza easy on the stomach ?
Omid, your pizzas are beautiful as always. And your skill as a photographer is quite impressive too. I wonder what camera/lens you are using. Also, how could you tell that your flour had gone bad? Did you have bugs in it? Best regards,TinRoof

BERLIN- Stephen Decatur wrestling and football standout Danny Miller this week signed a letter of intent to attend and wrestle at the U.S. Naval Academy next year, following in the footsteps of other Seahawks in recent years to move on to the prestigious university.
Miller, a two-time defending state champion, on Monday officially signed a letter of intent for Navy during a brief press conference at Decatur. He has been a standout on the Seahawk football team for three years and could likely play that sport at the next level, but the wrestling mat is where he has really made his mark at Decatur.
At the War on the Shore tournament hosted by Decatur earlier this month, Miller collected his 100th career victory and is on pace to set the Seahawks' record for wins. Last week, Miller won the title in his weight class at the Lackey Invitational in Southern Maryland. The school record for wins is 122 set by Trevor Rickett, a number Miller should eclipse this season.
Along with numerous other achievements, Miller is a two-time defending state champion, winning the state 2A/1A two years ago before collecting another state title last year in the 4A/3A tournament when Decatur moved up. His record last year was a gaudy 48-2. While Miller has made his mark on the football field and wrestling mat at Decatur, his achievements in the classroom are no less impressive. He currently maintains a 4.8 weighted grade point average.
Miller is the latest standout Seahawk athlete to head to Navy. Two years ago, football standout Matt Molloy moved on to Navy and has seen considerable playing time as a sophomore as a back-up on the offensive line. Last year, Decatur soccer and lacrosse standout accepted an invitation to attend and play lacrosse at Navy and is expected to make an immediate impact this spring.
