Last week a Hilltalk thread highlighted an access issue in Glen Lyon. Today the MCofS has called on the Scottish Government to take action on the estate concerned, which they say is ignoring Scotland's access laws. They're worried that inaction could set a precedent that might lead to access issues for climbers and walkers elsewhere too.
For several years walkers in Perthshire's Glen Lyon have faced locked gates, intimidating signs and abusive behaviour when venturing onto the North Chesthill Estate, Inverar, say the Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS). Reports of such problems have been made over a number of years to the access officer for Perth and Kinross Council, but the issue has still not been resolved.
Besides being a much-loved beauty spot the glen is also home to a popular circuit of the four Munros of the Carn Mairg group – the route described in this UKHillwalking Route Card. But at the starting point for the walk a gate is regularly locked and signs imply that access is forbidden.
'[I] Went for a saunter round the 4 Glen Lyon munros yesterday' posted forum user Neil Pratt on Hilltalk, December 11, 'and found that Chesthill are up to their usual tricks, sticking up signs to deter people from heading onto the hills in the area.'
Neil encountered three signs at Invervar that appeared to be banning access at the normal start point to the popular Munro walk, he tells us today:
'[One] on the noticeboard in the car park by the telephone box; one on the fencing which has been erected to bar access to the track which was directly opposite the phone box up the side of an old building; [and a third] on a metal post at the entrance to the alternative track which has been created about 50m west of the telephone box on the north side of the road. '
'All of them look to be fixed permanently, rather than being positioned for the day.'
'Next to the sign in the car park noticeboard is another list of estate requirements, including one which prohibits wild camping in the area. The general vibe of the signage is to deter people from taking access. My walking buddy for the day was an English visitor to Scotland and, in the 20 minutes she'd been there before I arrived, had reached the conclusion that access was prohibited and we'd have to go somewhere else.'
He reported this to the Perth & Kinross Access Officer last week.
So why is it a problem?
Under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, the responsibilities of stalkers and land managers include the need to 'be aware of where recreational use is likely, such as along paths, popular routes and ridge lines.' Estates should 'tell people about where stalking is taking place by giving on-the-day information on stalking and alternative routes.'
According to the law, land managers can't just erect permanent signs to deter visitors.
Neil Pratt's experience is not unusual here, and the MCofS has now appealed to Perthshire North MSP John Swinney after concluding that the local council has given up on the problem.
In his letter to John Swinney, David Gibson, Chief Officer for the MCofS, says:
'The North Chesthill Estate has been restricting the statutory right of access for many years. '
'There has been a considerable amount of time spent by several organisations in endeavouring to solve the issue of locked gates, intimidatory signs and abusive behaviour, but this still continues. '
'Perth and Kinross Council, the Perth and Kinross Local Access Forum, Ramblers Scotland and the Mountaineering Council of Scotland have all been involved in discussions with the owner but he still continues to lock gates and erect signs stating "Deer management in progress – please walk elsewhere". The locked gates and signs effectively close the whole estate to access.'
David Gibson continued:
'There have recently been a number of complaints made to Perth and Kinross Council about the removal of access rights but the authority's response has been that their powers to pursue the matter any further are limited.'
'This response means that this particular individual is breaking the law and being allowed to do it. How many other landowners might follow suit? Scotland's world class access legislation is being undermined and devalued, and the local authority (which has powers in the legislation to address this) appears to have given up.'
Previous communication with Perth and Kinross Council has left the MCofS with the impression, they say, that the Council considers too much time has been spent on the matter and that there is no more they can do to resolve it.
'In effect, the landowner is being allowed to prohibit access and responsible walkers are being denied their statutory rights' said Gibson.
'Our members and other hill walkers are becoming increasingly frustrated by this blatant flouting of the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.'
And he reminded Mr Swinney, who is also Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Employment and Sustainable Growth in the Scottish Government, that in 2009 alone the value to the Scottish economy from walking tourism was estimated to be £533 million per year.

ROME (Reuters) - Italian President Giorgio Napolitano has asked center-left leader Matteo Renzi to form a new government following the resignation of former Prime Minister Enrico Letta last week, an official from the president's office said on Monday.
Renzi, who met Napolitano for 90 minutes, will need to seal a formal coalition deal with the small center-right NCD party to secure a governing majority and name his cabinet before seeking a formal vote of confidence in parliament later this week.

Brookville motivated for today's opening round of PIAA playoffs
BROOKVILLE — After falling in the District IX Class AA Championship game last Friday, the Raiders have been hard at work in practice this week preparing for the PIAA playoffs, which begin today.
Brookville (18-6) will face Sto-Rox (22-3), the No. 3 seed out of District VII, today in the opening round.
"We're kind of going into it blind, but from what I could gather on the Internet, they're very quick, they have excellent defense, and they look to trap and extend the pressure," Brookville head coach Bud Baughman said. "They just kind of get right in your face and make you do things with the ball you don't want to do."
Sto-Rox's leading scorer is Dontez Ford, a senior forward who will play for Syracuse's football team this fall on a full scholarship. Ford averages almost 17 points per game.
The Vikings also have two big men inside: Sophomore Makil Allen (six-foot-six) and senior Carrington Ragin (six-foot-four), who could both appear in the starting lineup.
Although the Raiders played with home court advantage the past two years in the PIAA playoffs, Brookville has struggled against two strong WPIAL teams. In 2011, the Raiders lost to Jeannette, 68-57, and in 2010, they fell to Washington, 57-34.
In fact, the Raiders have just a 1-14 record in the PIAA championships, with their only win coming in 1997 over Seton-LaSalle, when Brookville was in Class AAA.
The Raiders have struggled to get motivated in the past few games, coming out with lower than anticipated intensity. But Baughman said he expects that to change today, especially because Brookville will be on such a large stage.
"I don't know if there's a way to get them motivated; if you can't get them motivated for a game like this, something's the matter," Baughman said. "You shouldn't have to brow beat them to play hard."
Another big struggle for the Raiders has been a lack of offense behind senior powerhouse Zane Hackett, who averages almost 20 points per game. Behind him is senior Austin Burney, who averages less than 10 points per game. The Raiders have also struggled without the services of Tighe Truman, who leads Brookville with 28 threes.
But the Raiders have been working on this lack of offense in practice this week, as Baughman said they have been concentrating on getting the ball into a smart position on the floor.
"I just think it's a matter of taking the best shots that are available," Baughman said. "Sometimes, we've been passing up 10-footers to make eight-foot shots, and that's not always the smartest decision. (We) need to take the best shot available."
The Raiders have hung their hats on defense all season long, though, a trend that will continue today against Sto-Rox.
Although Baughman said he is not sure what to expect from the Vikings offensively, he does have a strategy entering today's game.
"I imagine them to be big and strong," Baughman said. "We're going to have to play good, solid man-to-man defense and, obviously, rebound the basketball."
Brookville has another goal in mind going into today's game. Hackett is sitting at 993 career points.
He, Baughman and the Raiders want him to reach that 1,000 point mark.
"I think that's really a goal for all of us is for him to get the points required and, hopefully, get it somewhat early, so he can focus on the game at hand," Baughman said. "I think the kids want him to get the points, and I know I want him to get it. That's definitely one of the goals going down there."
The game against Sto-Rox will begin at 3 p.m. today at Gateway High School in Monroeville.

64 GB at Office Depot for $149
- I just got a 16gb off ebay for $115!!! I feel cheated!!!11-19-12 08:37 AM
- Will things never cease to amaze me? Time and again we hear that the 16 GB Pb is out of stock and only ones remaining are the 32GB and 64GB. And you are lucky if you can find the latter two. Now I hear the 64GB is selling for $132 at Office Depot? Hey, maybe some stores are holding back tablets for Black Friday and Christmas sales. I got my 64GB PB for $199 and I thought (and still think) that was too good an offer to pass up at Office Depot a couple of months ago.
But I'm happy.11-20-12 06:29 PM
- USB OTG would be useful for carrying manuals, reference books, docs, music,movies, etc that you don't want to leave on the BBPB using a flashdrive. With the Nexus 7 which has an app available even for nonrooted devices it is even possible to hook up a hard disk.. It would also be good if you could download to it.
Back to main thread, looks like I better hang on to the 32GB arriving Monday from Walmart for $149. Still a good deal although would like it to be 64 for same price.11-20-12 09:14 PM

Price in system was holding at $149.93 as of 2012-11-20 for 64GB
- I waited around too long and there aren't any around me that are left. There are a few 16 GB ones for $129 but they are an hour away in a direction I never go. I was hoping to get one for my daughter. It'd be the 4th PB I've bought.11-21-12 12:06 AM
Use the locate function on the OD Site, If you find a store that shows inventory, you can have local OD rep call and have it shipped to your local store. Cost=Free.
You can also call store showing it being in stock yourself, have your local store number handy.11-21-12 11:42 AM
- @WeAreNotAlone
When I asked them, they told me they don't ship items from store to store11-21-12 06:25 PM
There is no charge for doing so.
Who did you talk to?
Each of the store managers I talked with had NO issues with transferring the (4) PlayBooks I ordered out of their inventory.
(3 of the units had been in xyz store inventory since 2011-06, (1) since 2011-12 so that's close to 18, and 12 months the units had been in their inventory (Talk about DEAD inventory) so they were happy to get rid of it.
1: Do the legwork finding out what store has the item.
2: Call the store that has the item, ask to speak with the person who does transfers /Campus shipments- I think was the term they use. (When I called store(s) directly I talked with the store manager. - I mentioned the fact of the PB's not selling well- EG DEAD inventory- to reinforce this in their mind- had them physically pull and read back production date off box-It's the last line on the white label below serial/UPC)
(Alternatively, you can with the item number in hand, and store number of the store that has the item - Ask someone at your local store to make the call. They will call, request item to be shipped. Make sure they get the persons name on the other end... Additionally request while they are on the phone PHYSICALLY check the item is in stock... One thing you could do is tell them you want to know what the last line reads on the white label that contains the serial number /bar codes on the end cap of the box under the line "Accessories made in China" EG: 010611 = Date of manufacture. Tell them also as a excuse to get them to physically pull the item while you are on the phone, that box is sealed. (You want to confirm that regardless).
Note that if they only show (1) in inventory- it might be the display..
TIP: In my case my local store was doing inventory (This might be a reason they said they couldn't do it)
In my case, my local store was showing (1) in inventory- drove over there as was told by the store manager Rodney who I had talked to the previous day when looking at tablets the Google Nexus 7 would be a better choice.
(When I mentioned the word PlayBook he made one of those faces that says, you really don't want one of those.)
He (and all the managers I talked with) said PlayBook sales were *EXTREMELY poor, heck he couldn't remember the last time them had sold one. (Other store managers said the same) He said of the few he remembers, just about ALL of them got * RETURNED.
He said the hardware was while well built, but was about 18 months old spec/design wise and something like the Nexus 7 has a faster cpu/gpu, would overall be less "hassle" overall from a OS, app perspective.
Of the units returned, he said people didn't like the oversights / hassles /things left out in the OS...(Especially those without a BlackBerry phone) and more importantly the LACK OF APPS, LACK OF APPS, LACK OF APPS compared to the competition.
* Extremely poor sales would explain the 2011-06-01 production date on (3) of the tablets I got from various OD stores!
Asked about the (1) unit that was showing in his inventory, and he told me it was a display with a broken screen, it was being sent to claims.
Next day after reading all the posts here on CrackBerry... Decided what the heck I'll try one, surely it can't be that bad.
With part number and ID of store I had found via the store search function at Office Depot website. Swung by my local store figuring they could get one transferred in.
Had them call store A to request item be transferred to B instead of my local store as they were doing inventory. After they hung up from A they called B directly to let them know a transfer was coming from A in my name.
On PB#2, Went to my local store I called store showing inventory directly, talked with store manager. About a hr later- called back and said to add another to the order (PB#3). He said no problem, should ship out same day and be here about 2 (Business) days.
(UPS does not deliver /Office Depot does not accept UPS on weekends)
2, 3 Business days passed. No units... Called store A that previously had (3) units. Asked for the manager, David that answered the phone said him might be able to help. Told him I was doing a follow up as the items had not arrived yet. He had heard about 2 units being earmarked to be transferred, he came back saying he found (1) in the office- At time time- I was thinking about getting another (PB#4).. Him saying he couldn't find the others, so they must have shipped... and that he did not know the story of the one in the office. David says even if they wanted to, they were doing inventory... so they too would not be able to transfer anything in or out.
Asked who I needed to talk with regarding finding out story on PlayBook in office... David said store manager was out to lunch, but he'd relay the message -him saying manager would be in at XYZ time, Left my number- asking for a call back.
About 45 mins later receive call back from Andrew, store manager I had previously talked with on (2) separate occasions. During that call I found out about the PB in the office, it was one of three they had been showing in inventory... and drum roll.... the other two units had been SOLD !!!!
To his credit, Andrew said he had arranged thru another store !!!!.... to snag (2) they had, and transfer those 2 , plus the one he had to store all this stuff was getting transferred to.
Around 2pm or so the next day I called this new store Andrew was arranging (2) units to be transferred from - requesting a way to track the shipment. Was told 2 were boxed up,Got a UPS tracking #, plus got a six digit internal Office Depot reference number.... that the units would be shipped out around 4PM. (This took about 2-3 mins.)
Around 2:25 called Andrew's store... and was told Sunday was his LAST DAY (oh crap-ola here we go again).... Luckily I had written down his next in commands name and asked for them. Was told (1) unit had not been shipped yet, it should go out around 4... Got the tracking number.
Couple of hrs later- check via UPS on tracking numbers- showing label generated. Next morning I see packages are in route. Next day around 11:30 I get e-mail notification from UPS packages have been delivered.
(On this and previous shipments I had requested to be called once unit(s) arrived, never did receive call from store units shipped to, so try to get UPS tracking number so you will be able to track.)
Around 4pm swing by store to pick units up, get a price adjustment on Rapid Charger Pod bought a week earlier for $24 with tax- to match price on a CowBoom deal (BesyBuy Company). $9.99 + $3.00 S&H + tax= Around $14.50+/-. Told the manager it was only fair I pay adjust price shipped (with the $3.00 shipping charge)
Looking at the receipt latter I see he adjusted to $9.99.
So, as you see inventory can be transferred from store to store. Note there is no CHARGE for doing so.
(2) PB's being SOLD out from underneath me, that were earmarked to be transferred out....Story I get is there was a miscommunication. When I first heard units had come up missing- sort of thinking someone who worked there realized at the markdown price they might want them... as happens alot.
Related= At my local store which was doing inventory when I first checked with them, I was told by store manager Rodney- unit they were showing was the display and screen was broken, so it was going to claims. A week later... when I went back to get unit #2 transfer process started the (3) guys in the computer section said just LAST NIGHT one of them had sold that last unit... and NOTHING was wrong with it. GRRRRRRRR.

- APPEARS OFFICE DEPOT (USA) is TOTALLY SOLD OUT.
(Pop up box would appear to search via zip code)
Past few days, search results gave a "SOLD-OUT" type message- referring you to other products you might "like" with a banner along the top that said item number 727467 PlayBook 64GB (RIM-PLAYBOOK64) was no longer available.tem 727467, BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet 64GB Black, is not available for purchase at this time.
Shop below for similar products.
16GB IIRC (And I did not check the details) on the first page if you had typed in "PlayBook" was showing as available.
Past day or so and as of 2012-11-29= 64GB and the other one (Think it was the 16GB) had a greyed out pic with a red SOLD-OUT banner across it.
Now it and the other listing are TOTALLY GONE.
PlayBook - Search at Office Depot
Disclaimer: YMMV depending on zip code.
For details on how you "might" find one, and have it transferred to a local store check here.
(The below posts are not exactly spot on to your situation but I'm thinking "managers "may" have a "internal" way to check inventory not displayed on website)

My first ever 'proper' experience of waxing aged 32, came courtesy of this little EasyWax gadget that provides pretty-much-professional results at home. The handheld device warms up the cartridge to provide an easy-to-apply wax that's rolled onto skin with ease; it ensures the wax is at a constant optimum temperature so there's no nasty surprises, whilst the wax itself is made of 90% natural ingredients. Once you've applied the hot wax, you simply use the strips included to rip away any hair and leave your pins looking and feeling super smooth. I was really impressed with how easy to use and effective this little gadget was, even for a novice like me; the results lasted nearly three weeks before I felt like I needed to re-visit my hair removal too, making this perfect for prepping ahead of summer.
At £29.99 for the starter kit, and £9.99 for the refill, the EasyWax is a much more affordable and time effective way of keeping hair at bay than visiting a salon. However, if you're not quite ready to make that kind of commitment then the Veet Wax Strips (£6.99) provide the perfect introduction to waxing without any heating up or faffing required whatsoever. Available in strips for both the body and face, you simply warm the wax strips between your hands, seperate the two sides and apply to skin in the direction of hair growth; once you've made sure the strip is well and truly stuck to skin, just rip it off quickly to reveal smooth skin beneath. These are great for a top-up, or just when you need to remove hair quickly without jumping in the shower; although they're not as effective as the EasyWax at grabbing every last hair, they're a great alternative if you just need a quick fix.
The final product I've been giving a go is the Hair Removal Cream (£6.99) which has basically blown my mind. If you ever tried the old school Immac (a previous incarnation of Veet!) then you may assume that depilatory creams smell vile, irritate the skin and create a huge mess in your bathroom that never quite leaves it looking the same again. Ten years after the last time I tried one of these, things have certainly changed. This thick cream contains shea butter, grapeseed oil or aloe vera (the choice is yours) and helps to 'dissolve' the hair on the surface of skin within ten minutes; as it gets to work it also nourishes the skin to leave your legs feeling fabulous. Although there's still that chemical undertone that reminds me of my teenage years, the scent has definitely moved on and is much more palatable than it previously was; the cream is thicker and stays put even when you're in the shower, and it just doesn't irritate skin like I remember. I didn't hold out much hope for this, but the first time I used it my legs were left feeling incredibly smooth and totally hair free for over a week. If you're short on time, don't like the dryness that often comes with shaving legs regularly, or simply want to shake up your routine, then this is a great place to start.
Hair removal isn't the most glamorous of topics, but we all have to do it. (Well, the choice is yours but I personally wouldn't want to step out with hairy pits a-la Julia Roberts!) It's easy to stick with what you know and continue doing the same old thing, but technology has seriously moved on and there are much more effective, caring and enjoyable experiences. After I did some serious damage with a razor and almost bled out in the bathroom (slight exaggeration, but the blood spurt was enough to encourage me to put down the razor for good!) these products collectively provide a way for me to manage my body hair in a way that's kinder to me in more ways than one. Next time you're wandering the aisles of Boots looking for a new razor, maybe pick up something different instead... You never know how much you'll enjoy it.
Are you a waxer, shaver, epilator or fan of depilatory creams? Would you consider shaking up your routine in the name of nourished skin and long-lasting hair removal?
The Veet ranges are available in all major supermarkets and chemists, with prices starting from £6.99.

I'd like to hear more emphasis on the participation of the researchers you interview in various organizations, for example the Robotics & Automation Society, perhaps beginning by encouraging them to include that aspect as they present themselves. This would help those of us not active in the field to assess which of these organizations are likely to be important going forward.
In particular, I'm curious to know which of these organizations might adopt the role of setting industry standards, whether mechanical, electrical, electronic, connectors, signals, or software, to help ensure interoperability, or behavioral standards for safety.
For myself, it would be most interesting if a standards body were to take responsibility for the continuing development of one or another of the open source robotics platforms currently in existence, providing a methodical process for both its extension and the deprecation of APIs that need to be replaced, and therefore a stable core around which experimenters could elaborate.

Dell has always been associated with the business side of computer sales more than the consumer side, but this week the company started a new campaign to try to encourage more sales to the general public.
After recently setting up an internal consumer division, the plan is now to sell a range of machines that appeal to the consumer market. So, starting this week, you can now buy a range of laptops and desktops that couple performance with 8 bold new colors–such as bright pink and yellow. The website is advertising the new range with the simple message, "Yours is Here," written in alternating colors that match the machines.
The reason for the bright colors, according the analysts, is Dell wants to draw people's attention. The company already started opening retail outlets, and it is thought the colors are in part aimed at helping that effort.
You can even match your accessories to the new colors
Dell is also trying to attract customers to its online backup services as well; Inspiron and XPS buyers are now able to get free backups for a year. Inspiron owners get a 3 GB allowance and XPS owners get 10 GB.
Read more at USAToday.com
I would be skeptical of color playing a big role in consumer choice, but I have experienced going into a large electrical store with my girlfriend who left wanting a new notebook because she had seen the pink Sony VAIO.
Color alone won't be enough, however, and if Dell really does want to make inroads into the consumer market, then it needs to start advertising to the consumer more and getting more retail partners. People are still weary of spending money on the Internet, and spending hundreds of dollars on a new PC is not an easy thing to commit to. Lots of people still prefer going into a shop, looking at the notebooks they want, and purchasing then and there.
If Dell is committed to this consumer push, then the color changes will just be the beginning, and we should expect to see a lot more consumer-friendly features and promotions before too long.

Batman and Robin #8
- Story by
- Grant Morrison
- Art by
- Cameron Stewart
- Colors by
- Tony Aviña
- Letters by
- Jared K. Fletcher
- Cover by
- Cameron Stewart and Frank Quitely
- Publisher
- DC Comics
As "Batman & Robin" hits the halfway of its biweekly third storyarc, Dick Grayson, the Knight, the Squire, and Batwoman have all converged on a Lazarus Pit in England and are, apparently, going to resurrect Bruce Wayne using the corpse Superman found after his death in "Final Crisis." In a twisted recall to "Final Crisis," Grant Morrison reveals that the corpse in their possession isn't Bruce Wayne's, but one of the clones that were meant to be an army in service of Darkseid. It's a clever twist that spurs on the second part of "Blackest Knight," "Batman versus Batman."
After the previous arc where Grayson fought against a fellow former Robin, his next challenge as the new Batman being to fight against a version of Bruce Wayne makes a lot of sense. Adding that the clones of Wayne were endowed with superhuman strength make the four-on-one fight less than fair. However, for a few moments, Grayson more than holds his own in a fantastic single page of the two Batmen fighting against one another that Cameron Stewart draws perfectly, giving us the furious chaos of the two trying to take the other down, but doing so in a clear, easy to read manner. He nails the sheer coolness factor of two Batmen trying to beat the holy hell out of one another, choreographing their moves well to show how evenly matched they are until Grayson can get the upper hand.
The pacing of this issue is quick as there's little time to stop and catch one's breath. Piled on top of the evil Batman's violent attack are British villains associated with the Religion of Crime. The issue begins with a funny joke by Morrison playing off the Alice villain that Batwoman fought in "Detective Comics," and continuing on the children's stories (and Disney films) theme. Morrison writes Batwoman very well in this issue, building on the foundations of her previous appearances and possibly changing the character in a very big and lasting way. However, it's the speedy pace and that feeling of an organized effort to eliminate the heroes that carries the issue forward, especially as the second half speeds towards a messy conclusion.
Stewart's collaborations with Morrison continue to become more and more refined and seamless, this issue adding Tony Aviña on colors to the mix. He uses the same color palette as previous colorist Alex Sinclair, but adds more depth and doesn't have quite as many pixilated background effects. Stewart uses a simple, bold style with strong lines, often very rounded, particularly in faces. He's very effective at making sure every character has distinct body shapes and faces, making the similarity between the two Batmen a little jarring. One element that did stand out, though, is the temporary absence of the electric 'brass' knuckles that Dick wears, but their absence makes the fight between the two more visually appealing.
A fun, action-oriented issue that propels the reader forward throughout, "Batman and Robin" #8 plays off the ground work set by Morrison in previous stories effectively and ends with some plot threads hanging for the conclusion of the story, which, thankfully, will be released in only two weeks. I, for one, cannot wait.

Our Top 3 Reasons to Eat Avocados

That rom wont work because there is not a way to flash the modem on this device yet. Only Gingerbread roms will work until we have a way to flash the correct modem. Not even the official SGH-i777 rom works on this device because there is no ability to flash the compatible modem binary.

Unless someone can provide me a good justification otherwise, I am only going to help people who bought this device return to stock so they can return it.

Air Management: Diverter Valves
A car uses a lot of air. Without air, it would not be able to function. Proper air flow helps the engine to work properly. Sometimes extra air to the engine gives more horsepower. Good air flow in a car also reduces the emissions it puts out. Proper air management in a car ensures that it is working optimally for everyone involved. Air filters should be replaced frequently as a part of regular maintenance. Dirty filters affect the performance of the car and make its emissions dirtier as well. Other parts of the air intake systems should be checked periodically also. Hoses, housing, valves, etc. need to be working properly to ensure that the engine is getting the right amount of clean air for it to work optimally. Other systems are affected by the air intake as well, like air going into the cabin of the car. The A/C and heating systems will work better when there is overall good air management.

Teaching American History Academy II
This capital city district serves students who are overwhelmingly minority and who receive special education services at a higher than average rate (20 percent). The district has never made Adequate Yearly Progress, and five middle schools and three high schools are underperforming. The Teaching American History Academy II (TAHA II) will offer two 3-year professional development pathways: (1) the master's track, in which 15 teachers will complete courses worth 30 graduate hours, plus workshops, an annual 1-day field trip, and an annual 4- to 7-day summer trip; and (2) the professional development (PD) track, which will provide 50 to 60 teachers with 100 or more hours of training in meetings during the school year and a 4- to 7-day summer trip followed by a 3-day institute (15 PD track teachers will participate in extra technology training). When cohorts are recruited, priority will be given to history and special education teachers who teach American history in the underperforming schools. TAHA II will focus on building collegiality among teaching colleagues and university historians. History content and instructional strategies will be delivered by historians, museum curators, and National Park historians, and retired mentor teachers. The master's track teachers will earn a master's of education in curriculum and instruction for history and social studies from the University of Richmond; professional development track teachers will prepare curriculum materials to be posted on the project Web site. Over the course of the project, leaders anticipate that several teachers will attend and present at regional and national conferences.

Free Forum – DANNY GOLDBERG In Search of the Lost Chord: 1967 and the Hippie IdeaWritten on June 2nd, 2017
Ever since he dropped out of college to sample the Summer of Love, DANNY GOLDBERG has been an active participant in culture, counterculture, and politics. In addition to his career in the music business – manager of artists from Bonnie Raitt to Nirvana, chairman of Warner Brothers records – he was co-producer/director of the rock doc No Nukes and CEO of Air America. We talk about all of that as well as his latest book, In Search of the Lost Chord:1967 and the Hippie Idea.

First, the incomparable ARUNDHATI ROY, award-winning novelist, activist and essayist who speaks truth to power. "It was wonderful that on February 15th [2003], in a spectacular display of public morality, 10 million people in five continents marched against the war on Iraq. It was wonderful, but it was not enough."

Originally Aired in 2004 They noticed trends, asked questions, offered warnings and gave advice.
"Why does the pro-life factory worker who listens to Rush Limbaugh repeatedly vote for the party that is less likely to protect his safety, less likely to protect his job, and less likely to benefit him economically?"
– Thomas Frank
"In politics framing is about making sure the debate takes place in language that fits your worldview. Framing trumps facts and self-interest."
– George Lakoff Twelve years later their worst fears came true.

Free Forum Q&A – MICHAEL LEWIS MONEYBALL; THE BIG SHORT; THE BLIND SIDE BOOMERANG: Travels in the New Third World includes a profile of Greece post-global crashWritten on July 16th, 2015
Originally aired October 2011
As the two countries play a high stakes game of chicken, it's a good time to see what Greece and Germany looked like in the aftermath of the global crash. Who better to be our tour guide than best-selling author MICHAEL LEWIS?
Lewis's book, BOOMERANG: Travels in the New Third World is made up of articles originally published in Vanity Fair and picks up where 2010's THE BIG SHORT left off. Governments are the focus of this book. Mostly because they have taken on the bad debts of the too-big-to-fail banks, so now they are themselves at risk. Now politics and culture become much more important as to how they will deal with that risk. The book also profiles Ireland, Iceland, and California.
Both Ira Glass and Malcolm Gladwell say today's guest is their favorite storyteller. In his books and magazine articles, Lewis writes about sports, business, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, political campaigns, fatherhood. Stuff that matters to a lot of people. He's smart and he has a sense of humor. Once a trader at Salomon Brothers, he wrote his first best-seller, LIAR'S POKER about the excesses of Wall Street during the 1980s. He continues to write about that world with his last two books, a column for Bloomberg, and articles in Vanity Fair. We also talk about the twisted path taken to get MONEYBALL into movie theatres.

Growth rate confounds Brexit doomongers
Commenting on the release of official figures stating that the three month growth rate since the EU Referendum has been plus 0.5% rather than the Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney's pre-Referendum estimate of 0.2%, Christopher Mills, the UKIP Business Spokesman said,
"The bad news for those who expected an economic apocalypse when we voted to regain our independence and freedom has suffered another blow. The prophets of doom are now looking like a tired old heavyweight, demanding just one more round in the ring before retirement, appalling the public, embarrassing their friends and destroying their reputations. The UK is the one of the world's most competitive economies; it is open for business and has the tools and the desire amongst its men and women to go from strength to strength in the future".
UKIP's Economy Spokesman Mark Reckless AM added, "I welcome today's growth figures following our vote for Brexit and I look forward to the day when 'experts' realise this is not despite Brexit but because of Brexit."

Chemical conversion of CO2
We researched the sustainable use of CO2 in collaboration with Bayer MaterialScience and Bayer Technology Services as well as RWTH Aachen University. The "Dream Production" project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, examined whether high-quality plastics – so-called polyurethanes – can be made from of the CO2 from power plant flue gases. In plastics of this type the carbon dioxide is permanently chemically bound.
For the project, the CO2 scrubber at the Coal Innovation Centre was retrofitted with a plant for cleaning and liquefying carbon dioxide. In this plant, the gas is filled into cylinders, which are made available to the project partners so that they can investigate its usability for chemical synthesis.
Here, power plant CO2 was used in a pilot system at Bayer Technology Services to make polyether polycarbonate polyols (PPP for short) which was then further processed by Bayer MaterialScience to make polyurethane plastics. Apart from being used in building insulation, light-weight components of polyurethanes make a contribution to lowering weight, for example in the automotive industry and help thus to achieve significant energy savings. But polyurethanes are also a part of everyday life, as material in high-quality mattresses and upholstered furniture.

It didn't take long for Donald Trump to launch a tweetstorm in response to Hillary Clinton's major address to accept the Democratic presidential nomination Thursday night at the party's convention in Philadelphia.
The Republican presidential nominee, who laid out his own vision for the US last week at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, said that Clinton's "vision" for the world was "borderless" and that "working people" would "have no power, no jobs, no safety."
Clinton, Trump said, is followed by "corruption and devastation" "wherever she goes."
Read his tweets below:
Hillary's refusal to mention Radical Islam, as she pushes a 550% increase in refugees, is more proof that she is unfit to lead the country.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2016
Our way of life is under threat by Radical Islam and Hillary Clinton cannot even bring herself to say the words.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2016
Hillary will never reform Wall Street. She is owned by Wall Street!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2016
Hillary's vision is a borderless world where working people have no power, no jobs, no safety.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2016
Hillary's wars in the Middle East have unleashed destruction, terrorism and ISIS across the world.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2016
No one has worse judgement than Hillary Clinton – corruption and devastation follows her wherever she goes.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 29, 2016
Clinton made Trump a recurring theme in her speech, contrasting what she portrayed as steady-handed leadership with Trump's quick-trigger unpredictability.
"He loses his cool at the slightest provocation," she said. "When he's gotten a tough question from a reporter. When he's challenged in a debate. When he sees a protester at a rally."
The Trump campaign also released a statement from Stephen Miller, a senior campaign adviser:
"Hillary Clinton's speech was an insulting collection of clichés and recycled rhetoric. She spent the evening talking down to the American people she's looked down on her whole life.
"Hillary Clinton talks about unity, about E Pluribus Unum, but her globalist agenda denies American citizens the protections to which they are all entitled – tearing us apart. Her radical amnesty plan will take jobs, resources and benefits from the most vulnerable citizens of the United States and give them to the citizens of other countries. Her refusal to even say the words 'Radical Islam,' or to mention her disaster in Libya, or her corrupt email scheme, all show how little she cares about the safety of the American people.
"It's a speech delivered from a fantasy universe, not the reality we live in today.
"Hillary Clinton says America is stronger together. But in Hillary Clinton's America, millions of people are left out in the cold. She only stands together with the donors and special interests who've bankrolled her entire life. Excluded from Hillary Clinton's America are the suffering people living in our inner cities, or the victims of open borders and drug cartels, or the people who've lost their jobs because of the Clintons' trade deals, or any hardworking person who doesn't have enough money to get a seat at Hillary Clinton's table."

America's Oil and Gas Leverage
A shrewder President would use it to reduce Putin's influence.
The U.S. has more responses to Vladimir Putin's adventure in the Crimea than the no-options caucus suggests, including a few that weren't possible even a few years ago. Namely, a President with a keener strategic mind would unleash North American oil and gas on the world.
The Putin regime controls the taps for as much as a third of Europe's natural gas imports, including half of Ukraine's and 39% of Germany's. The European Union is less dependent now on the trans-Ukraine pipeline system than it was when Russia choked back supply...

Senate tables vote on Medicaid bill
The Senate Monday opted to delay a vote on a Medicaid and education package because it was not fully paid for.
Democrats thought they had offset the cost of the bill, but the Congressional Budget Office scored the bill and found that it was not fully funded. A procedural vote on a new amendment that had "technical corrections" and was fully paid for will take place Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said, according to The Hill newspaper.
The bill contains $10 billion to states and local governments to prevent public teacher layoffs and $16.1 billion in Medicaid funding to states. The temporary 6.2% federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) increase outlined under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is set to expire at the end of the year. The bill would continue the funding increase for another six months but at a lower rate.

As I See It: Anti-corporation protests
As the country heads into another winter of discontent and presidential election season, anti-corporation protests on Wall Street and beyond send a message that pharmaceutical marketers and regulators alike should ponder.
It is this: young voters want an end to the industry-government status quo. That could upset relationships which have evolved under cover for two decades.
"I want my government back!" read many placards in the New York crowd after 700 people were arrested for disorderliness. Another proclaimed: "I could lose my job for having a voice," voicing frustration over diminished First Amendment rights.
This message challenges a complacent FDA/regulated industry coalition that strives to do business increasingly behind closed doors while citing improved transparency—to each other, but maybe not to those "disenfranchised" protesters. New HHS guidelines in September brought tighter controls on media access to internal happenings.
On the streets, the ruckus felt like the "Arab spring" as TV broadcasts promised the movement's fusion with labor-union discontent. And if FDA and its regulated industries feel immune to anger over such scourges as loss of health insurance and rising drug shortages, they may be in for a rude awakening.
Street demonstrations have shaken up FDA before. In October 1988, AIDS protesters shut down the agency's Rockville headquarters for several hours. Approval of AIDS drugs was duly expedited.
Since then, FDA and other federal agencies have insulated themselves from direct access due to "security" concerns—a process that might well have lost them some sensitivity to public concerns.

Stay Stay Stay,
Links anyone?
- Blogger blogs usually have a popular posts widget in them, which is something you can use to your advantage. Wordpress blogs have awesome plugins which can also be utilized.
- It would help your visitors to know what you've actually done during the previous months. So, some bloggers even include an archive section which might contain links month wise or year wise.
- Labels do help your visitors to look for similar content written by the author on the subject. Another attraction for the visitors to gain knowledge and the webmaster to gain loyalty.
- Not all articles are one pagers some have to be written in series, like for an example take a look at the following series by codemakit. Good news for Wordpress users, there is an article series plugin for the same.

The accident happened on the eve of the Santiago de Compostela festival as holiday-makers made their way into the city for the bank holiday weekend.
Footage taken in the immediate aftermath of the crash shows the twisted wreckage of the carriages and bodies covered with sheets lying on the ground.
The man filming can be heard saying "What madness! What madness!" as he makes his way through the crash site.
It is estimated that 80 people have died so far, and 143 people are injured.
Authorities have said it is unclear why the accident happened, but they have ruled out an act of terrorism.
A driver is reported to have said that the train was going at up to 190 kilometres per hour (120 mph), twice the allowed speed limit on that particular curve of track.
Galician government official Alberto Nunez Feijoo, described the scene as, "shocking, it's Dante-esque".
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, who was born in the city of Santiago de Compostela, has visited the wreckage site.
Both state-owned train company Renfe and Adif, who is in charge of the tracks, have opened an investigation into the cause of the derailment.

Here is his obituary of Higgins, as printed in The Observer.
12 comments:
A marvelous article from Clive which had the hair on the back of my neck standing as I read it. I look forward to next months Snooker Scene which will no doubt be equally as fitting a tribute to Alex.
- 3:18 pm
Heartfelt thanks to you Dave for all the great stuff you have written since Alex passed and to Clive for his piece. I have read nor seen anything by Jimmy White which is surprising as they were brothers in arms. Perhaps you could do an interview with him soon and put it on your blog. Thanks again.

MY favourite memory of alex was in dubai 1992 i think .He upset a certain player and the manager of that player decided to make alex apologise by holding his head under water in the hotel pool for about 30 seconds . Every time he let alex up for air alex just told him to f*** O** . He tried this about 4 times before realising there was not going to be any apology. Typical Alex wasnt going to apologise for being himself .I as a player will miss him he definitely helped snooker .He was actually an intelligent man compared to a lot of players at that time .He used to read the gaurdian and the times .Cant imagine a player now even knows those papers exist.The racing post always came 1st though.

@ 10:57 - hey, that's not very nice to assume that players now don't know that The Guardian & The Times exist. Even if they don't, it doesn't mean they're not intelligent.

ALEX HIGGINS: A MAN WHO, AS IRISH JOURNALIST, EAMONN McCANN, SAID IN THE " LIKE A HURRICANE: THE ALEX HIGGINS STORY DOCUMENTARY," HIGGINS " ELEVATED SNOOKER FROM A BACK-STREET SPORT, INTO A TELEVISION ENTERTAINMENT." IN SPITE OF ALL HIS ON AND OFF-TABLE TROUBLES, SNOOKER HAS, FROM THE FIRST TIME HE PICKED UP A SNOOKER CUE, AND INDEED, ALWAYS WILL, OWE HIM A GREAT DEBT OF GRATITUDE.
- 1:34 am
To make an understatement very hard to do an obituary of Higgins- Everton has made an effort though in parts it is a bit of a cuttings job (even for an obituary) and badly edited. One part reads something like Judge Lightman now Justice Lightman which makes no sense- as far as I can recall-Gavin Lightman was just a Q.C for the Higgins disciplinary hearings way back and then became a judge. Anyway the Telegraph obituary has gone too far the other way? The maxim that you shouldn't speak ill of the death at the time of their passing or in Higgins case (as done by Everton and others) shouldn't speak as ill of the dead as you might is ignored. Everything Higgins ever did, in a bad sense, is set out in the Telegraph- beating 1st wife Cara Hasler, fracturing Siobhan Kidd's cheekbone, taking drugs, taking drink, being banned from seeing his two children by his second wife and on and on. The repetiveness detracts from the article. Sure all of this happened but an obituary is meant to draw a general picture of someones life and in Higgins case this was a tricky test for the likes of Everton et al.
- 9:01 am
I thought Clive Everton done a good job on the article.
Everton writes it as he sees it, no hype, no rosy pictures and more importantly, no unwarranted criticism.
This article was written for the general public, that is, people who might not be aware of Higgins's misgivings.
The snooker world, who are aware of Higgins's misgivings, are more emotionally affected by his death as a result of the many enthralling matches he was involved in, and will tend to view him through rosier tinted spectacles than usual.
Nothing wrong with that. Respect for the dead is admirable but it can't change the fact that Higgins wasn't a very nice person.
His death should not be a precursor for rewriting history. He was a great player, but with many flaws, and in my opinion Evertons obituary is accurate and relevant.

When Higgins wowed and also embarrassed Mumbai fans
Pradeep Vijayakar
The death of snooker great Alex Higgins from throat cancer earlier in the week evoked mixed memories in Mumbai. In the early 80s the Billiards and Snooker Federation of India had invited Higgins to play exhibition matches in Bombay,Calcutta, Delhi and Madras.
In Bombay Higgins played at the Bombay Gymkhana. He showed his wizardry and was up by about three-four frames against Indian great, Shyam Shroff. The crowd got rapturous.
Billiards great Mike Ferreira remembers.``Higgins had been drinking vodka all afternoon. The hall was crowded and the air-conditioners could not cope. In the first frame he had a century break. And another big break. The crowd went haywire. So did Higgins. He took off his shirt and threw it and it landed on a lady club member. He then lifted the dhoti of RK Vissanji, who was heading the national federation,saying `It's a wonderful air-conditioned garment'. The federation would have none of it. They packed him off the next day. The matches in the other centres were cancelled.''
Bharat Vissanji, who also remembered the incident said,``Higgins lifted Wilson Jones off his feet.''
So, that was the end of the tryst of Higgins with India.
Ferreira said Higgins had remarkable memory and remembered him by name when they met years later. ``It's sad the way his life ended, he went the way of George Best, the footballer. Paul Gasciogne looks headed the same way.''

After an accident at a nearby oil rig happened, it brought a creature out of hiding. The creature has taken over Tripp's truck and they become friends, when Tripp names him Creech. With the help of Meredith (Levy), Tripp has to protect his new monster friend and it's family from the government.

Products that may interest you:
Healthy hair has more to do with what goes into your body than what you put on it.
Hair loss, dullness, dry ends, and slow-growing hair often mean that the body is missing out on critical nutrients.
Dry scalp and dull hair could indicate an omega-3 fatty acid deficiency. Super Spirulina Plus is a superfood, as well as a probiotic-rich source of omega-3s.
If you think your hair could use a boost, check your diet and make sure you are getting these three healthy-hair nutrients.
Biotin, otherwise known as vitamin B7, is an extremely important nutrient that supports cell growth and the metabolism of fat.
Biotin also safeguards against brittle hair.
Extreme biotin deficiency can lead to hair loss (known as alopecia) and rough, scaly skin. Research shows that a biotin deficiency impairs the immune system and allows Candida overgrowth. (1)
The best sources of biotin include:
Fermented foods are also a source of biotin—the good bacteria in cultured foods produce biotin, which intestinal cells then pick up and use. (2)
Omega-3 fatty acids support scalp health. According to Andrea Giancoli, a dietician based in Los Angeles, "Essential omega-3 fatty acids are needed to support scalp health. A deficiency can result in a dry scalp and thus hair, giving it a dull look." (3)
Omega-3 fatty acids have also been found to reduce inflammation and levels of anxiety. (4) Because omega-3 fatty acids can regulate stress in the body, they can also support the health of the thyroid. One sign of an unhealthy, underactive thyroid is thinning hair.
The best sources of omega-3 fatty acids include:
Body Ecology's Super Spirulina Plus is 50% fermented Spirulina and 100% bioavailable. Spirulina, especially when cultured with probiotics, is an extraordinary source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Note: Spirulina is the only plant-source for long-chain omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, which need no conversion in the body. All other plants—such as flax and chia seed—contain omega-3 fatty acids that convert poorly in the body. (4)
Vitamin D is more of a hormone than it is a vitamin. In the body, vitamin D plays a pivotal role in immune system health and hormonal balance. Vitamin D also stimulates hair growth. This is because it encourages the development of keratinocytes, cells that form the skin and healthy hair follicles.
Research has found that vitamin D is even effective in those with chemotherapy-induced hair loss. (5)
Sources of vitamin D include:
Sugar, gluten, and poor food combining weaken the digestive system and damage the inner ecosystem—preventing the optimal breakdown and assimilation of these essential nutrients. The Body Ecology Diet focuses on optimizing digestion. Don't strip your body or your hair of the nutrients it needs!
Beautiful, healthy hair is directly related to your diet. Your body may be missing out on critical nutrients if your hair is dull, thin, dry, or slow-growing.
Three healthy-hair nutrients could transform your lackluster locks:

Return to Water Heater Article Index
Purchasing and Maintaining your Tank-style Water Heater... Tips from a Pro
This article courtesy PAV Plumbing
Hot water heaters are a big investment when one considers the cost of the unit and a plumber to install it!
The following article provides a number of
tips from a plumber, designed to help you maximize the life of your cylinder and
minimize water damage in the event that it does split at some stage in the
future. These tips may be worth keeping in mind next time you have a new or
replacement hot
water heater installed.
1. Install the correct pressure limiting valve
A pressure limiting valve (also known as a pressure reducing valve) is a
device that limits the inlet water pressure to a hot water heater when the water
supply pressure exceeds an acceptable level. Excessive water pressure is by far
the most common cause of cylinders splitting prematurely. A pressure limiting
valve will maximize the working life of a heater by reducing stress on the
cylinder, extending life by as much as 50% in some cases. These valves are also
often required by manufacturers or the warranty on the unit may be void, so it
is worth making sure that the correct valve is installed by your plumber. For
more information check the product guide supplied with the hot water heater and
the specifications normally printed on the side of the cylinder.
2. Install a tempering valve with your heater
A tempering valve is a device that can be installed with a hot water heater
to ensure that water does not exceed a specified temperature at taps and outlets
around the house. This can be a good safety precaution, especially when there
are children around. In many countries it is now actually mandatory that a
tempering valve be installed with all new or replacement heaters. Some plumbers
will ask customers to sign a waiver shifting legal liability for not installing
a tempering valve to the customer. This may reduce the cost initially, but
greatly increases the chances of hot water burns, and could lead to legal
complications in the future.
3. Install a tray underneath your cylinder
