Sulfates and Global Warming
Usually when we think of global warming, we are led to believe that it is caused primarily by increasing greenhouse gases. After all, that is what all the fuss is about in Washington DC these days. But is that entirely true?
After all there are lots of other things going on all the while. For instance, to what degree has the global temperature record in recent decades been influenced by the variability in aerosol emissions?
This question has been the subject of a series of articles in recent years by Martin Wild and colleagues which look at the impacts of (primarily sulfate) aerosols on the earth's climate. They typically conclude that sulfate aerosols play a larger role in multi-decadal climate fluctuations than the climate models generally give them credit for. And that models' inability to properly handle the climate aspects of aerosols "may hamper the predictive skills of these models to project near future climate evolution."
In their latest paper, just-appearing in the Journal of Geophysical Research, Wild and colleagues makes some interesting observations about aerosol influences on the global temperature history in recent decades and what it means for greenhouse gas-induced warming:
The compensating [warming/cooling] tendencies [from aerosols] in various regions of the globe may tentatively indicate that the overall surface solar radiation signal inferred from the ground-based observations did not undergo dramatic changes since the year 2000. This fits to the general picture provided by the satellite community, which suggest that the planetary albedo as well as the background aerosol burden of the atmosphere may not have undergone substantial changes between 2000 and 2005, at least globally [Loeb et al., 2007a, 2007b; M. Mishchenko, personal communication, 2007]. This is also in line with recent Earthshine observations, which indicate a fairly stable planetary albedo after 2000 [Pallé et al., 2009]. Further, air pollution control measures seem to have saturated lately in some of the industrialized regions, which may prevent further brightening in these areas [e.g., Ruckstuhl et al., 2008; D. G. Streets et al., submitted paper, 2009]. One may also speculate that the recent lack of a significant overall brightening may favor a more moderate temperature increase in the early 2000 compared to the 1990s, when brightening has more substantially added to the greenhouse-induced warming [Wild et al., 2007, 2008]. Overall global warming since the turn of the millennium may therefore be more readily attributable to the enhanced greenhouse effect, and no longer suppressed by surface solar dimming as in the period from the 1950s to 1980s or enhanced by surface solar brightening as from the 1980s to 2000. However, further investigations based on both modeling and observational approaches will be required to get more insight into the origins and impacts of the changes documented in this study. [emphasis added]
So what Wild and colleagues are saying is that 1) the observed global warming rate during the 1980s and 1990s was elevated as a result of a decreasing atmospheric aerosol burden (which led to more solar radiation reaching the surface, aka "solar brightening")—so all the talk about how fast the planet was warming up because of greenhouse gas concentration increase is a bit overblown, and 2) that since the turn of the century, the climate influence from aerosols has been relatively stable (in net) and so the true impact from increasing greenhouse gases should now be more evident. And, as readers of this blog are quite aware—there is no significant trend in global temperatures this century!
Now, we are not suggesting that this will continue indefinitely, but we are suggesting that the rate of temperature increase produced by greenhouse gas increases appears to be much less than climate models are indicating (or at least given credit for)—for the past several decades, and likely into the future.
It is high time that people start getting their heads out of their models and start looking at the observations. The picture grows clearer every day—carbon dioxide emissions have much less climate impact than advertised by those folks clamoring for their regulation.

Packaging machines for industry and commerceThe manufacturing of products for the private and public sector bring up the question of packaging. It should be affordable enough and undertake the required task. In order to achieve this within mass production, it is important to use efficient packaging machines. These machines follow certain principles.
|Quality Great offers Personalized
|MOSCA Packaging machine in use
History of packaging machines in industryPackaging has become important due to commerce. What used to be done by hand is currently undertaken by packaging, specially designed for specific uses. This is why this sector became so important. Innovative packaging technologies protect the products during transportation and storage. Additionally, the packaging should act as a type of advertisement for the product and help increase sales. The first packaging machine was used more than 150 years ago in south Germany. However, packaging technology is much older. Every producing industrial company contains a warehouse with a delivery and packaging department. The packaging machines help these departments to be more efficient.

Epic Games is certainly one studio that has never shied away from voicing its opinion. Whether it is the entire studio or specific members, Epic does not sit quietly by. The latest opinion may not be a huge shock to some people, but still it is something interesting to consider. Epic's Niklas Smedberg says mobile games are "starting to compete with current consoles," which in turn has made development more complex. Smedberg likened mobile development to PC development by saying there are dozens of hardware specifications and platforms to consider. Epic scales its development from high to low for the games, since Smedberg says the studio never does the minimum.
As much as I like my iPad, I don,t use it for serious gaming for one simple reason..... CONTROL. You can,t replicate the accuracy of a analogue stick on a touch screen it's as simple as that and until there are some actual control pads or even some kind of software allowing you to use say a 360 control pad then I will never game on a mobile device. I would much rather sit on a comfy couch playing on a huge screen.
mobile games are TYPICALLY shallow and are boring after short stints and are decent time killers on the road, wothout the use of analog sticks and exterior buttons, ill never become a mobile gamer.
Touch screens, for example the game Dead Trigger, while its an above average mobile game as far as gameplay, the controls ruin it for me.
I use a PS3 controller on my GNex. There is even a company that makes a case that attaches the controller to the phone.
The statement has merit. By no means was the article saying that on a graphical level do the compete but yet for money and peoples' time you can clearly see that is true.
Mobile competes with console gaming in that retrospect. The mobile controls and graphics aren't there yet but are improving at such an impressive rate that 2-3 years we could be looking at mobile gaming with the same fidelity as current consoles.
Some gamers prefer mobile some prefer console/PC but they are still both equally gaming.
Sorry has he seen Crysis 3 dx11? How would one get that on iPad? PC is not mainstream so as far as casual small games goes ipad is competing with facebook games not real pc games.. I really wish Epic was in charge because they make the best games not the most accessible engine.. Mediocre devs..
Big talk from devs who only made one successful game in the last 7 years on console.
Let see ipad compete with planetside 2.
I hope crytek has the best engine next gen to get them off there high horse.
Also why are they not making fortnight for android instead?

David Moyes and Manchester United in numbers
Manchester United have parted company with manager David Moyes after an underwhelming 10 months in charge.
Moyes's tenure is dwarfed by the 26 years of his predecessor, Sir Alex Ferguson, but how does his record compare with other Manchester United managers?
Moyes leaves Man Utd seventh in the Premier League.
The club will miss out on Champions League football for the first time since 1995 and are in danger of missing out on European competition altogether for the first time since 1990.
With the exception of the temporary tenures of Sir Matt Busby (manager from 1945-1969 who returned as emergency manager in 1970) and Jimmy Murphy (who stood in for Sir Matt after the 1958 Munich air crash), Moyes's reign is the third shortest in United history.
Moyes at Man United
A year to forget
Worst home record since
Points so far this season
=lowest in Premier Lg era
Overall record:
Played:51 Won:27 Drew:9 Lost:15 Win %:52.9
Moyes spent the previous decade at Everton, stabilising the club and turning them into solid Premier League performers.
His inability to cope with vastly higher expectations at Man Utd - even during what was seen as a transitional season for the club - has been cited as a major reason for his failure.

I awoke to another 8 inches of wet snow yesterday. After feeding the horses, I took my three dogs Max, Zeus, and Abbey skate skiing down the county road. We trekked about 7 miles in all, during which time I came to conclude that there are more than enough political pundits and kibitzers in the blog sphere, therefore I am taking this blog in a new direction, one that represents the country lifestyle we have come to cherish here at the Tipi Wind Ranch. Content previously described in the header will unfold gradually with the changing of the seasons. I'm hoping you will tune in frequently.
A seven mile run for my big dogs is essential for their total wellness. Like Cesar Millan says in his best seller Cesar's Way: exercise, discipline, affection, and food, in that order; makes for well adjusted dog. It seems to have a profound effect on my attitude as well.

OCZ Octane 512GB SSD Full Review - Indilinx Has Returned With Everest
Internals, Testing Methodology and System Setup
The Octane shares a housing with the Agility 3. The top cover portion is made of plastic. This is not necessarily a bad thing - many other manufacturers choose entire housings made of plastic, so long as heat production is not an issue.
The interesting bits hide on the bottom of the PCB.
...and the rest on the flip side. Note the extra SDRAM chip.
The shiney new Indilinx controller is paired with 512MB of SYNC DDR3 SDRAM, half of which is pictured here.
Storage is accomplished via IMFT 25nm flash, configured to run SYNC for the Octane.
We were a bit puzzled by the inclusion of what appears to be 8 4-bit 1-2 mux/demux chips from Texas Instruments. This configuration suggests this Everest is configured to run in 4-channel mode (8x 4-bit chips add up to split 4x 8-bit channels into a pair of the same, making up 8 channels). The question is - why add all of these extra parts when Everest is supposed to natively interleave multiple flash chips per channel? We don't have that answer, but these are extremely fast multiplexer chips that are likely just as fast as the controller could have switched natively anyway. Hopefully the added complexity and chip count won't negatively impact pricing.
Testing Methodology
Our tests are a good mix of synthetic and real-world benchmarks. PCMark, IOMeter, HDTach, HDTune, Yapt and our custom File Copy test round out the selection to cover just about all bases. If you have any questions about our tests just drop into the Storage Forum and we'll help you out!
Test System Setup
We're breaking in a new SandyBridge testbed. Necessary for properly testing these new drives, even with the known issues. To get around this, we are using only the Intel SATA 6Gb/sec ports, which are known to not exhibit the inconsistent performance / connectivity issues.
PC Perspective would like to thank ASUS, Corsair, and Kingston for supplying some of the components of our test rig.

Great review and an interesting product. I am finally tempted to put an SSD in my Laptop. To bad about the compatibility issue. There is no way I would do a fresh install.
also, on the pc per File copy test page, you haev a small typo :
''Even with a laege cache''
Thanks, fixed!
When making screenshot :
Please do not using JPEG , use PNG
It looks a lot better with PNG.
Took me about 1/2 sec to spot the JPEG artifacts ...
blocked and cleaning now
It is still made by OCZ and that alone is reason enough to go no where near this product.
Times are changing... keep your eye on them.
My vertex recently failed and it took over a month to get a replacement from them. In the mean time, I had to buy another ssd for my system. I got the intel 320 because I was more interested in reliability than having the fastest drive out there. Really two issues come up here: one is that the vertex failed; and two is that it took over a month to get a replacement. I too will stay clear of OCZ for the foreseeable future. I just hope my vertex 3 max io edition that I bought previous to my vertex debacle hangs in there.
Your perception is based on a first gen product. Look at the reviews of the Vertex 3 (or all SF-based drives) and you'll see that they've become a lot more reliable. I've had a Vertex 3 since launch and never had a single issue.
Now at OCZ is developing their own products (own controller), they'll be able to respond much quicker to compatibility issues. Keep in mind they're a relatively small company. As they grow their support and subsequent reliability will improve.
Can you say anything as to the effectiveness of trim on the drive?
It's too bad that OCZ handed out all 512GB drives, considering the price, that's probably more than what the majority of buyers are going to consider as viable option. I'd love to see a review of something smaller since the specs are worse, I'm not sure it would keep up to any SF-2281's or other competitors.
Rumor has it OCZ is being qualified at a major OEM who wants to put SSD's in every laptop across their product line, either all SSD or as part of a hybrid system. This is part a response to the recent HDD shortage. I'd assume that's where the 128GB and 256GB drives are being shipped at the moment.
I just read a relevant review on tom's hardware. Honestly, based on my knowledge of SSDs, I think their test approach is more complete, especially if your are evaluating a new controller.
The worst case scenario and steady performance they pointed out is orthogonal to what you've tested here (sequential/random I/O). I don't see many other websites doing the same thing, and it would be great if you can try similar methodology if possible. Thanks.
First - I am the original source for review sites conducting this type of testing:
http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Storage/Long-term-performance-analysis-Inte... (dated Feb of *2009*).
The part of the Tom's article you speak of:
...is a dated method that is no longer relevant when using an SSD with an OS that continually issues TRIM commands to the drive. Benchmarks can not accurately test for this as they are unable to issue TRIM commands directly to the drive while doing all of those random writes. The closest you can get is to run something that fragments the drive, but then to partition and format the drive under Windows 7, *then* run the HDTach pass and see what happened. I do this to all drives as part of my testing, and the Octane behaved as all other modern SSDs do - performance had returned to normal. This was actually noted below the basing portion on that page of the Tom's piece.
That said, I'll revive my "Performance Over Time And TRIM" page for future pieces.
It is still made by OCZ and that alone is reason enough to go nowhere near this product.

|New dx, post PCP, anemia and low CD-4
Apr 29, 2008
My husband is recovering from PCP and was just dxed. He had CD-4 of 7, and hemoglobin of 10 at the hospital. VL was not measured.
He is depressed and fatigued. What can I do for him until we get to see our doctor?
Thank you.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Have him sign onto this site and begin reading testimonials of other folks who were in similar situations, but who have now significantly improved. There are many such stories in the archives. Second, I encourage you to contact an HIV specialist and get him seen as soon as possible. Ask to move the appointment up. He should certainly be seen within several days. You may need to contact several different HIV specialists or have your primary care doctor contact them for you and request an expedited referral. Some of your husband's fatigue may be due to his anemia as well as his depression. Remind him things can and will get better.
Good luck to you both.

Disney and Infoseek's Go Network Available for PreviewThis portal site resembles any other, except that Disney backs it up and it's decorated in a blue motif. Infoseek provides the back-end Net search engine for this venture, while Disney children ABC and ESPN provide the usual shallow news headlines. It comes together as kind of a combination between the front page of a newspaper and a compilation of major commercial links. So what distinguishes the Go Network from Yahoo, Excite, and others? Like we said, nothing but the colors and the massive Disney marketing machine - which may make a difference. Is it only us or did all those portal sites have their soul sucked out of them by men in grey suits?
Mars: NASA Runs Contest to Name Polar Lander ProbesThe assault on Mars continued with last week's launch of the Climate Orbiter. This spacecraft is part of the Mars Surveyor 98 mission, which includes the Polar Lander scheduled to blast off Jan. 3. The Orbiter will map the atmosphere and serve as a communications relay for the Lander. The Lander contains several neat payloads. A microphone, funded without cost to NASA by the Planetary Society, will record atmospheric sounds which will be posted on the Web. The Lander will also release two microprobes on approaching the planet. The probes will crash into the Martian surface at about 200 m/s and penetrate a couple of meters into the soil. NASA is running a contest to name the probes - you have until Apr. 30 to enter.

Greeting Card Wars: Blue Mountain vs. MicrosoftEvery other day somebody seems to file a new lawsuit against Microsoft. Normally, the suits are about as exciting as the fine print on a software license, but this one has a certain seasonal touch that piqued our interest. Blue Mountain publishes electronic postcards online, big business this time of year. Microsoft also recently entered the business of sending electronic postcards. When Microsoft released the beta of Internet Explorer 5.0, its e-mail client was set up to classify Blue Mountain cards as "junk" and toss them automatically into the "junk mail" folder. Around the same time in November, WebTV, a Microsoft subsidiary, suddenly blocked subscribers from receiving Blue Mountain postcards. Coincidence? Are Blue Mountain cards spam or not? And should Microsoft decide for you? Enjoy the filing.

The Wright Brothers' Flights of Inspiration"We had taken up aeronautics merely as a sport. We reluctantly entered upon the scientific side of it." So say the Wright Brothers about their early efforts to perfect a flying machine. The richly detailed and superbly illustrated story of their work is part of this new Franklin Institute online exhibit. The thrifty brothers used scraps of wallpaper to jot down notes, and here are the fragments, pasted as pictures on the Web. Images of their notebooks complement the excerpts woven through the exhibit's narrative. While no blueprints of the Wright's flyer exist, their early sketches - difficult to display in a museum due to their fragile condition but easily distributed online - survive.

I would love to say I am reporting some FOs. But sadly that is a far-off dream at the moment.
I have cast on Annis for the birthday-that-was-nearly-forgotten. Pictures will have to wait until after the birthday girl has recieved it.
I have made no progress at all on anything either currently on the needles or stuffed under my sewing machine.
I have made some, reasonably discernable progress on the dissertation, due in 5 weeks. Really, that is my big problem and top of my priority list.
But what makes me really happy today? What makes the birds sing and the flowers open? I have managed to sign up for Pottermore. It took 4 days. It wasn't easy. And I didn't get to choose my own username (yes, that does suck quite a lot) but from this day forth I shall be known some places as DreamAccio143. Don't wear it out 😀

PU HCBF celebrates Insurance Day
LAHORE: (Saturday, April 15, 2017): Punjab University Hailey College of Banking and Finance has organized an awareness declamation contest in connection with celebration of Insurance Day. The objective of the celebration was to increase awareness in the general public about the benefit accruing from Insurance. Principal HCBF Prof Dr. Mubbsher Munawar Khan, CEO Atlas Insurance Mr. Arshad P. Rana, CEO Al Falah Insurance Mr. Nasar us Samad Qureshi, Chairman IAP North Mr. Abdul Haye and Mr. Muhammad Ishaq Khan attended the event. The topic of contest was "why educated youth should adopt Insurance as profession". A large number of students enrolled in the discipline of Insurance & Risk Management participated in the event to express their solidarity with the insurance profession. The speakers expressed their hopes that the educated youth has enough potential to tap the vast segment of the society and increase the penetration of Insurance. They said the comparatively lower rate of underwriting could be increased if educated youth is employed to create awareness in the public. The students were confident that with the quality of education being provided by HCBF in the discipline of Insurance & Risk Management, the graduating youth could accept the challenge. With their better understanding of risk management they can analyze the risks associated and can suggest remedial course to protect the interest of the public in general and business community in particular. The audience appreciated the zealous speeches and innovative ideas. Declamation contest was judged by the panel comprising Prof. Dr. Mubbsher Munawar Khan, Mr. Nasar us Samad Qureshi and Mr. Muhammad Ishaq Khan. Ms. Farwa Gul and Mr. Junaid Tauqeer emerged to be the winners of the event. Mr. Arshad P. Rana, in his address appreciated the efforts of college management in achieving academic excellence. He remarked that the graduated students of HCBF had potential to come up to the expectations of the employers. He stressed upon the need to identify the potential of students to explore unidentified business areas thus increasing the portfolio of the business. Mr. Nasar us Samad Qureshi, informed that the graduates of the college were well received in insurance industry. He however advised the graduates to be prepared to move out for career advancement, as a lot of Insurance Business was out of the hometowns. He advised the students to keep themselves abreast of developments taking place in the profession. Mr. Abdul Haye appreciated the efforts of HCBF in promoting the cause of awareness through the academic programs. He expressed upon the need to strengthen linkages for diversified professional programs. Mr. Muhammad Ishaq Khan, a renowned figure of Insurance Industry, advised the students for continuous development. He narrated his success story giving details of his efforts for career and academic excellence. He appreciated the quality of education at HCBF and informed that over 200 graduates of the HCBF were serving in reputed insurance companies in the Gulf region. He termed the qualified young graduates of HCBF as the life blood for Insurance Industry necessary to keep it on faster pace of development. Speaking at the event Dr. Mubbsher expressed his confidence that with the support of Insurance Industry, the graduating students would be well placed in the Insurance companies. He said their knowledge and skills have reposed confidence of insurance industry on the product of the college. The principal invited the Insurance leaders to join hands with HCBF and launch workshops for enhancing the skills of working executives. In the end, souvenirs were presented amongst the distinguished participants.

Puyol vuelve al once / FOTO: ARCHIVO FCB
After an almost perfect start to the league season, with 31 out of a possible 33 points, Barça go out in search tonight of their eleventh win against Zaragoza. It is never easy to refocus after an international break, and this week Tito Vilanova has only had one day, Friday, to work with his full squad.
Captain back
The best news at FCB is that Carles Puyol has been declared fully recovered from his elbow injury, and provides much needed cover for the centre of defence. But there is a bad news too, for there are two new absences with respect to the side that won in such spectacular fashion at Mallorca (2-4). Busquets saw yellow for the fifth time this season at the Iberostar and is therefore suspended, while Alexis sprained his ankle while playing for Chile and will be out for four weeks. Víctor Valdés, despite becoming a father on Friday, will be in the team.
Goalscoring feats
But where Barça are certainly not lacking is in the goalscoring department. They have 36 goals from 11 games and while last week Messi broke Pelé's record for goals in a calendar year, this week David Villa could get his 300th goal as a professional.
Aragonese morale
But Zaragoza's confidence ahead of their visit to the Camp Nou has been boosted by a run of three wins in four games. Last week' 5-3 win against Deportivo was particularly impressive. Manolo Jiménez has four former FC Barcelona men in his squad (Montañés, Abraham, Edu Oriol and Víctor Rodríguez), while Hélder Postiga is the biggest danger up front. But Zaragoza have to face up to a daunting statistic. It is 46 years since they last won at the Camp Nou.

The purpose of this publication is to incorporate all facets of campus life—social and educational—into one area for the students, by the students. The content of the magazine focuses on giving a voice to students to share knowledge, in the hopes of informing, inspiring and uniting one another. This campus is divided because we are a commuter school. Not many students know what is going on in other departments and schools around campus because that information is not being shared with one another.
This publication can serve as a platform for the students to give and to get ideas and to feel a part of something bigger than just going to class every day. It can give students a chance to collaborate with each other, to fuse knowledge and to take advantage of being a part of the generation of information. The publication will be a collection of what students on campus are really doing, how they apply what they've learned in the classroom to their everyday lives, and sharing that information with the entire student body.

Standing by the curb, Lois Niles watches and listens to another 76,000-pound truck changing gears on her two-lane, rural road in Florence, Vt. The noise effectively drowns out conversation and shakes the cereal boxes in her kitchen. "This goes on all day," she shouts. "And the dust and dirt just flies. You don't dare walk on the road hardly."
What is in the 18 wheelers, and also in the cereal boxes, is calcium carbonate. Each day, dozens of trucks haul it away from a nearby mine to a marble crushing plant owned by OMYA, or Pluess-Staufer Industries Inc., a multinational corporation with headquarters in Switzerland.
Mrs. Niles's negative reaction to big trucks on her rural road in Rutland County is part of Vermont's newest confrontation between "character and capitalism." She knows OMYA is the largest calcium carbonate producer in the world and that the fine white powder is in toothpaste, plastics, paints, cleansers, tile, aspirin, newspapers, and even chewing gum.
But, hey, the trucks are noisy and shaking her house.
To many other Vermonters, OMYA is a welcome economic presence providing some 800 jobs in the region and operating three quarries in Rutland County. But at the beginning of the year, the company announced a proposal to mine a 23-acre calcium carbonate quarry in bucolic Danby. So pure and plentiful is the marble there that OMYA wants to mine it for 50 years. Many residents have risen up in protest.
If the proposal can meet state environmental criteria, some 40 roundtrips of trucks will begin moving along Route 7, six days a week traveling 23 miles from the new quarry to a processing plant and back, and passing through a string of small towns. Blasting will occur three times a week. OMYA estimates about 30 jobs will be created.
Critics were quick to respond to the proposal and predict an impact that could further diminish what they see as Vermont's ebbing cracker-barrel character and small-town quality of life. Pro and con letters in the county's newspapers argue all the fine points and vigorously call for attack or defense.
"Towns are being torn apart [when] OMYA comes in and offers to buy people out," says Michael Fannin, a stonewright and for 17 years a volunteer fireman in Tinmouth. "[OMYA] will drive wedges through our communities."
Critics say road repairs will rise with the cost borne by the small towns already strapped for cash. More trucks, even with low emission controls, mean more noise and pollution added to the logging, milk, gas, and water trucks already rumbling on rural roads. And property values, the critics predict, will tumble along the route.
OMYA denies the assertions, cites previous mitigation efforts on behalf of towns, offers to help with costs of road upgrading and maintenance, and points to its record of compliance with environmental regulations in Vermont. It says many studies are under way to determine the potential impact of the mine on towns, the environment, real estate, roads, and the economy.
But critics say after the pros and cons are hurled at each other, the bottom line is protecting Vermont's legendary character and quality of life.
"This mine will be a mile from my house," says Annette Smith, a small farmer and executive director of Vermonters for a Clean Environment, "so I will feel it personally. My objection is that the [mine] is going to be highly visible, extremely noisy, and totally out of character with the use of the site. This is a time for the state, not just our little valley, to be looking at OMYA and asking, is this a company that is appropriate [here] now?"
The Rutland Economic Development Corporation (REDC) welcomes the OMYA proposal, as do many businesses in the county. Last year, OMYA paid $2 million in property taxes to 25 Vermont towns, and paid some $15 million in salaries to employees. OMYA is the second largest landowner in Vermont and owns some 2000 acres around Danby. It continues buying land and houses in Rutland County to create buffer zones around its operations.
At a packed town meeting in late September at a Danby Four Corners community center, James Perry, executive vice president of Pluess-Staufer, told some 250 people in the audience, "This is an important quarry for our operation, and important for the economy of Vermont. The balance is going to show that this [mine] is a positive impact on the entire area. Studies will bear that out, I believe."
But OMYA faces an uphill battle on several fronts. Two months ago, a poll by the state's media revealed that 60 percent of Vermonters want to restrict truck movement to protect small towns and villages, even though the state legislature relaxed the truck permitting process last year. Citizens want trucks restricted to corridors or new bypasses built for trucks.
Politically, the state encourages new business, but more often than not at the community level, many Vermonters retain an "us and them" protective attitude. Recently, Vermonters for a Clean Environment concluded a two-year effort across the state that stopped a proposed underground, 63-mile-long, natural gas pipeline and two electric generating plants. Gov. William Dean, at first in favor of the pipeline, backed off when nearly all of the towns along the proposed route voted against it.
To assess the possible impact of the mine on the towns, roads, noise level, real estate values, etc., OMYA says it has hired experts to do several studies, which will be part of the public application hearing, possibly before the year ends.
Recently, the Vermont State Supreme Court ruled against OMYA in a case brought by bed-and-breakfast owners in Brandon. They wanted to prevent more OMYA trucks passing through the town and ruining the ambiance. OMYA wanted a total of 170 daily roundtrips. The court said no, but raised the allowed trips from 85 to 115.
Despite the organized opposition to OMYA, the company has many supporters in towns and in the countryside.
A retired dairy farmer and his wife who sold their 200-acre farm to OMYA under a life-lease arrangement think opposition to the mine is misguided.
"Where were these environmentalists when we needed to have our milk prices raised so you could make a decent living?" asks the wife angrily. Noting that she does not want to be identified, she adds: "They have this attitude that the rest of us should eke out a living as best we can and be a happy little farmer." Her husband says, "It means jobs. Agriculture is fine if you got farms to agricult, but there ain't no farms left."
In a telephone interview, Mr. Perry reiterated OMYA's position. "We are doing a lot of studies and taking into account all the community concerns that we have heard to see how we can best mitigate their concerns. I'm not going to tell you we will do something." But he added, if the permit is granted, OMYA will open the mine.

Nov. 8, 2011
BOSTON — Emerson College has announced that it will soon break ground on a new Los Angeles campus — a significant milestone for the 131-year-old institution. However, despite the allure of the West Coast for a school with so many film and television grads, college president Lee Pelton said the college won't be abandoning Boston.
"Boston is, and will be for many years into the future, our home base," Pelton said. "We have made a real presence here. We've made a real difference to Boston and the revitalization of a depressed neighborhood. So we have no plans to pack up our bags and move elsewhere."
Pelton said the new 10-story academic center on Sunset Boulevard in the heart of Hollywood will bolster the thousands of internships the school already offers in LA. It will also offer certificate programs to graduate students and adults. Ground-breaking is set for early 2012 with doors opening in 2014.
It could be the start of activities even farther away: Pelton hinted that he is working on an Emerson exchange program for faculty, staff and students in China.

The \x92FCT573T devices consist of eight latches with 3-state outputs for bus-organized applications. When the
latch-enable (LE) input is high, the flip-flops appear transparent to the data. Data that meets the required setup
times are latched when LE transitions from high to low. Data appears on the bus when the output-enable (OE\)
input is low. When OE\ is high, the bus output is in the high-impedance state. In this mode, data can be entered
into the latches. The \x92FCT573T devices are identical to the \x92FCT373T devices, except for the flow-through
pinout of the \x92FCT573T, which simplifies board design.
These devices are fully specified for partial-power-down applications using Ioff. The Ioff circuitry disables the
outputs, preventing damaging current backflow through the device when it is powered down.

Snow Duckies
It has afforded many a pretty picture though! Like this one, taken by Ashley Bruhn of Hither and Thither. She snapped it while on a long lunch break, in Central Park last Thursday.
I just love birds, especially ducks. I could watch ducks for hours. Last summer I spent a shameful amount of time watching the duckies bob along in DC's Capitol Reflecting Pool.

Confetti Treats
What child doesn't become transfixed by Funfetti cake? Rainbow colored bursts within white fluffiness?! Yes. Yes, I definitely got pulled into that dessert's tractor beam as a little'un. While I've mostly grown out of the novelty of Funfetti, I still show some serious favoritism toward goodies with multi-colored flecks. Check out these scrumptious treats. Now tell me, doesn't the sprinkling of color give them an advantage over other delectables? They're just more... FUN!

Four for Friday
It's a bonus post to save and enjoy at you weekend leisure, or to indulge in today! Four for Friday... quickie post (on a whim) with four lovely pieces of content (whimsy filled, of course!) Four for Friday might become a routine posting. Or, it might be a once-in-a-while treat. We'll see at the close of next week, I suppose.
- Take a look at this beautiful wedding. How fun would it be to mini-bowl at a reception?! I'm mooning over the floral arrangements, dessert buffet and court-side tables.
- Have you checked out Matchbook Magazine?!!! The blogger buzz is deafening. You must peruse!
- Baked chocolate doughnuts with ganache. Need I say more? Go to Vanilla Sugar. Right now.
- And lastly, a stunning fashion editorial for Stylecaster by Decade author/illustrator Bernadette Pascua.

Goodbye January
I've been looking forward to this weekend for a while, because on Sunday I'm meeting up with a big group of college buddies. We're doing our annual (three years in a row!) Chinese New Year want-some-dim-sum-get-together. I'm a huge fan of anything dumpling-ed, so bring it on China Town!!!
What more is in the weekend works?
- Some research on hand-made Valentine's cards... it's almost V-day people!
- I'd like to swing by the Whole Earth Bakery and Kitchen, to try something tasty.
- Hopefully I'll make it to Saturday's burlesque drawing. It's been a year since I attended Dr. Sketchy's!
- It's birthday shopping time for a soon-to-be-fire-fighter sibling of mine. He's turning 25 next week : )
- And, I owe someone very sweet* a pie. Perhaps this one, veganized.
*My BF put in 4 (very large) sets of window blinds at my place. And surprised me with a door mirror (from Ikea, via subway, and then up 5 floors to my apartment). And installed 6 coat hooks in a brick wall. And lowered my bathroom vanity mirror so I can see myself without the aid of tip-toes. And repaired my kitchen light (yes, the one that I didn't use for 6 months because the bulb was bad). I think owe him a pie every month, for the rest of time.

DIY Business Cards
Today I was browsing Creature Comforts (one of my absolute favorite blogs) and stumbled upon Ez's little DIY project. She was pushed for time before going to Altitude Summit and decided to get crafty. I love her approach; print out your essential info on heavy watercolor paper and personalize the card face with a little mixed media illustration. It's a perfectly personal way of doing a small edition of cards.

Houseguest Survival Kit
"How to Make a Houseguest Welcome/ Survival Kit"! A lot of these things I already do (hand-drawn maps, step by step Metro instructions, insider tips for snack stops, coffee breaks, neighborhoods to shops, sights to see, book stores to explore, parks to relax in, etc!) I'm eager to admit though, that my assemblage looks far less artful than this one. What else did I learn over there at A.T.? Something I never thought to get for my dear guests, earplugs! Just a few months ago my sisters lamented about the volume of street noise infiltrating my apartment. I rarely notice it, but others definitely do! When my parents venture east in a couple months to visit, a parcel such as this will await them!

Etsy Love/ Window Sill
Window Sill. I'm totally obsessed with the charcoal gray snood my grandmother knitted me for Christmas, so I don't really need another. But this store has so many lovely ones. Doesn't this one look heavenly soft?! It would make such a thoughtful Valentines gift for the special guy or gal in your life. Check out the wonderful collection of vintage and handcrafted jelwelry items too. I just love that bee charm!

Nails/ The French Revamp
One treat though was getting a manicure. I can count the number of professional manicures I've gotten, in my life, on one hand. Actually, I don't need my whole hand. Only three digits. The other two can take a load off. Kinda sad... So this most recent manicure was thrilling. I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't decide on a paint color and went (embarrassingly) with a clear coat.* But, wouldn't one of these be a wonderful pick? It's an absolute bouquet of YSL lacquers!!!
Photos found in French Vogue a while back, also visible here
*Truthfully, I still loved it. It was the most practical pick. I'm low maintenance (no maintenance) and all the cooking, sketching, miscellaneous crafting takes a tole on polish. There are few things that make me crazier than looking down at my own chipped nails. For sanity's sake, I really do think it was the right choice.

Triumph of the Red
Have you noticed a lot of red out there in the world lately? I've got the advantage in working in the field, hence the trend forecasting. Brace yourself, because the current red takeover is at it's earliest onslaught. Red is going to morph and multiply (like you won't believe)! Deeper shades of scarlet and crimson are gonna get hyped up with a layer of orange infused vermilion. It's marching upon us; watch out!
They've already won me over. I'm completely coveting the collection of flaming fashion below!

Friday Thoughts
Cute map print available for purchase on Etsy
- Need to put this book to use and find a recipe for the butternut squash sitting atop my counter
- As mentioned in the post below, I need to practice this (a lot)
- Going to get a little crafty and make one of these since my jewelry box is (literally) busting at the seams
- I'd like to check out this place for the ultimate hot, heavy comfort food: mac n' cheese (vegan!)
- Last weekend I was terrible and only made one tea latte, this weekend I'm going to conquer latte foam art (and try out my new espresso grinder!)
What are your weekend plans, sweet readers? Will your weather be dictating the activities? Whatever you do, enjoy! See you Monday.
Ooh- and just for fun, read today's post from Garance. So funny!

Celineobsessed you say? That's right! I'm so taken with the Celine pre-fall collection that I can't separate the label name from my emotions. Let's define this new term shall we...
Celine: (nown) French luxury house founded in 1945 by Celine Vipiana. Today, owned by LVMH. Phoebe Philo has acted as brand creative director since September, 2008. She rocks.*
Obsessed: (verb~ used with object) To dominate or preoccupy the thoughts, feelings, or desires; haunt persistently or abnormally.
*Okay fine, that's not technically part of the definition. Geez. But Wikipedia needed some help!

Off the Wall !
Mr. Perswall would (of course) be darling in a child's room. But, I'm actually loving it for myself. It reminds be of yesteryear; flashcards, picture books, crayons and the like. The colors are understated enough not to throw my adult living space out of wack. And the content is just playful enough to inspire a daydream (or maybe even a coloring-book session)

Pretty Palette/ Green & Gray
Today's weather is absolutely awful! It's dark and dismal, sleet-filled with periodic hail. The pavement is a mess of melted and hard-packed ice, depending on where you step. It's treacherous! I landed myself in puddle upon puddle this morning, only to slip across stretches of rink-worthy ice just after.
On one hand, this moody color palette fits my solemn (maybe even a little surly) countenance today. On the other, it sure is pretty!!! Colors like this can't help but bring a smile of resignation to my lips. Makes me dream of dusky pastoral landscapes in heather green, alla Wuthering Heights... coincidental association? No, not really. I was reading it on the train. Still! It's totally fitting.

Mini-Donuts & the Enduring Mystery of Babycakes
But, after reading through my main question was, "where are the baked mini-donuts?!!!" Alas, the cookbook includes them not. Sneaky temptress, that Erin! I should've known better than to think that all the secrets to Babycakes would be revealed. I will have to suffice with an internet supplied recipe. If ingredient adaptions are necessary I'll run to 'Babycakes' for substitution advise.
And, as fourtune would have it, some additional inspiration fell into my lap. Oogle worthy photos? Oooh, yum. A Wilton pan for baking? Bookmarks- Amazon - One click purchase!

Bunney (And Bunnies!)
Bunney is all about simplistic design. They aim to create, "beautiful, intriguing and understandable" pieces which encourage the wearer to, "consider and compose [the jewelry in] a variety of combinations". They manufacture the loveliest badges (Brit speak for "pins"). I like the solid sliver pyramid studs, they look great in a row fastened onto a shirt collar. The Black Onyx and Amethyst studs are pretty too. I especially love their 2010 advertising, the bunnies melt my heart!

Initial Rings
Amidst many finds, I happened upon a collection of delicate initial rings. I loved the concept, but not the rings in particular (they were cheaply adjustable and overpriced). But I did find these pretty flourish-filled wire rings on Etsy. There are lots of letters available, in both gold and silver. I particularly love the 'g' pictured here and this golden uppercase 'A'. Go check them all out!

But, wait. There's more... this talented Miss is more than just a paintbrush. She's got a degree in environmental science and biology! Geez. Professionally she's a horticulturist (plants? cool!) who enjoys entomology (bugs? oh yeah!)... so neat, right? She's definitely an artsy nature maven after my own heart.

Jammu: The Commercial Taxes Department (CTD) has realised a revenue of over Rs 2,888.61 crore during the first seven months of the current fiscal in Jammu and Kashmir.
In a significant achievement, the CTD has collected a revenue of over Rs 2,888.61 crore during the first seven months ending October, 2012 of the current fiscal compared to Rs 2,280 crore realised during the corresponding period of last financial year -- an increase of 26.66 per cent, Additional Commissioner CTD, PI Khateeb said on Monday.
Khateeb, who made a presentation before Finance Minister Abdul Rahim Rather, said the department has an ambitious target to earn a revenue of about Rs 4,123 crore during the current financial year, which will be an all-time high.
Khateeb informed that the Jammu Division of Commercial Taxes department has achieved 69.48 per cent of targeted revenue in the first seven months of the current fiscal by realising a revenue of over Rs 2,021.19 crore against a target of Rs 2,909.15 crores for the current financial year.
It was stated that the department has realised an amount of Rs 1,614.64 crore on account of sales tax (VAT, GST, CST, Entry Tax) up to October against a target Rs 2,230.89 crore for the current financial year.
This marks a 72.37 per cent achievement against 60.82 per cent registered during the corresponding period of last fiscal.
Similarly, against a target of Rs 670 crore revenue on account of Motor Spirit Tax (MST) during the current fiscal, about Rs 400 crore was realised up to October this year.
Revenue realisation on account of Passenger Tax has been to the tune of Rs 6.65 crore upto ending October 2012, against a target of Rs 8.26 crore -- marking an achievement of about 80.50 per cent against 79.78 per cent during the corresponding period of last fiscal.
It was informed that 1767 more dealers were registered up to October this year.
Speaking on the occasion, Rather said that CTD enjoys the premier position as the highest-tax earning department of the state.
The state`s economic stability largely depends on the performance of the department, he added.
He asked the officers and field agencies to work with dedication and total commitment as it is their paramount duty to increase the revenue through proficiency and efficiency.
He asked them to plug tax pilferages effectively and conduct sustained tax recovery drives against the wilful tax defaulters.
He also called for an effective monitoring mechanism to get hold of tax evaders and enjoined upon the concerned authorities to vigorously pursue the cases pending in courts.
Rather also called upon the officers of the Commercial Taxes Department to set high standards in public relations while dealing with the traders and tax payers.
No genuine tax payer should feel harassed unnecessarily, he added.
Rather laid emphasis on recovering the arrears with full
might of law. He also reviewed the progress of the two committees, constituted for vigorous and effective recovery of arrears.
He said the performance of officers shall be judged by two important indicators which include their attitude and behaviour with tax payers, which in all circumstances should be human and dignified.
Every dealer/ tax payer has to be treated with dignity and honour, he added.
Their effective contribution with regards to recovery of arrears shall be another benchmark for their performance, Rather said.
He told officers that he shall again review the progress of the department in coming days with two Deputy Commissioner Commercial Taxes (Recovery) and Commercial taxes Officers.
Rather said he appreciated the department for its overall satisfactory performance.
There was a scope for bringing further improvements and reforms in the tax system, he added.
The Commissioner Commercial Taxes, Kifayat Hussain Rizvi said officers of the department would leave no stone unturned to come up to the expectations of the government.
"Our effort would be not only to achieve the assigned targets, but to surpass these," Rizvi said.
He said the department has an ambitious goal to realise a revenue of Rs 3,300 crore on account of sales Tax/VAT, Rs 670 crore on account of MST and Rs 1100 crore on account of Passenger Tax and about Rs 142 crore as stamp duty during the current fiscal.

Hip-Hop Rumors: Bad News For T.I., Nas/Jay-Z Fans, Ras Kass and Bill ORacist!
Hip-Hop Rumors: New G-Unit Vid! Rihanna In High School!
This alert came out from 50 Cents web site. (I didn't edit it by the way.):
On Thursday February 28, 2008 Rapper 50 Cent was hosting New York City Radio and had Invited several rappers to join him on the show including Max B, Papoose and Remy Ma. While 50 Cent was interviewing Max B, Papoose walked into the studio. When Max B went to say whats up to him and give him a pound thats when Papoose told him "put your hand away, what's up with that slick shit you was saying about Kay Slay on the internet?" Before Max B could reply, Papoose went to approach him, but fortunately 50 Cent was able to get in the middle of the two rappers and seperate them. Click here for some video.
The Next day...
On Friday Feb 29 in North Corolina Papoose,Cassidy,Fat Joe,Gucci Mane,Yo Gotti,and Fabolous were booked to perform at The Criquet Arena. Before the show could go on, the Main Event happened earlier at The Holiday Inn Hotel in North Carolina, where the rappers had been staying at .Sources from Cassidy's crew tell us that Cassidy had asked Papoose to come to his room so they could talk. Papoose eventually came to his room and while the two rappers were talking, all of the sudden Fat Joe and 9 Members of his Entourage storm right into Cassidy's room. Fat Joe suddenly starts yelling at Papoose, "You Got A Problem With Me?" and Papoose replied, "No, do you have a problem?" When Fat Joe responds " yeah, I got a problem with you," thats when Papoose swung at Fat Joe, punching him in the face twice. Before you knew it all hell broke loose. Sources tell us that Fat Joe and his crew rushed the rapper and Hotel security had to seperate the fight before Law Enforcement could get to the Hotel. Sources tells us that they heard Papoose yelling at Joe, "Come on Bitch ass nigga lets take this shit outside give me a fair one."
We reached out to both parties but have received no comment.
We will have more on this story as it develops......
[Illseed note: I love how, even though its 50s site, they try and make it seem like its an objective, journalistically sound site and report. Riiiiiiiiiiight! LOL!]

This is from our news section. Click here for the whole report. Condolences to Juvenile.
Police in Gwinnett County, Georgia have arrested a 17-year-old boy and charged him with murdering his mother and two young sisters, one of whom was the daughter of rap star Juvenile.
According to reports, police have accused Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr. of shooting his mother, Gwinnett County Sheriff's Deputy Joy Deleston, 39.
The high school sophomore also shot and killed Deleston's two daughters, Micaiah, 11, and Juvenile's four-year-old daughter, Jelani.
I am totally beyond beef. This is what is most important to me.
I am not sure where this came from, but Lady Drama sent these quotes to me about Lil' Wayne addressing his addiction to sizzurp.
But Im going through that same sh with my friends, with my mom. Everybody wants me to stop all this and all that. It aint that easy. Do your history, do your research. It aint that easy feels like death in your stomach when you stop doing that sh. You gotta learn how to stop, you gotta go through detox. You gotta do all kinds of stuff. Like I said, Im a selfish-ass na. I feel like everything I do is successful and productive. Its gonna be hard to tell me Im slipping. Its hard to sit and tell a na Stop. F, how can we tell this na to stop when every fing thing he do is successful? This na is making progress. He just went and talked to kids and that sh was amazing. Feel me? So what am I doing wrong?
Let me do me. Everybodys got their thing. Why focus on me? Dont compare me to no one. Dont compare me to no one who has passed, and why they passed. I can walk out this bh right now and get hit by a bus. Dont judge me. You wanna judge me, put on a black gown and get a gavel. Get in line with the rest of them thats about to judge me. I got court dates every other month. Its me against the world thats how I feel.
My source made an error on Ras Kass! He didn't get a whole three year bid. He got a one year bid. They called that a skid bid. I call that a year lost. Anyway, at least this means Ras will be out later in the year. He would have had to have committed a new crime to get that for a parole violation. Thanks to all the legal eagles that corrected it even before the source hit me back!
They keep us talking, but if we stop talking about them then they should worry!

10 May Osteoarthritis Treatment May Eliminate Joint Replacements
In this next installment of our new #CureArthritis web series we take a look out how grant recipient Dr. Denis Evseenko is on the cusp of creating the first medication to treat Osteoarthritis.
Currently, people with osteoarthritis have very few options for managing the disease and because of this, many people end up with total joint replacements. Dr. Evseenko has devised a treatment that could dramatically change how we approach osteoarthritis. For the first time ever, people with Osteoarthritis have hope on the horizon to treat the underlying disease, and potentially reverse some of it's affects.

In an address given on the BYU-Hawaii campus on June 3, Elder James J. Hamula of the Seventy told those in attendance that Jesus Christ is full of grace and that grace is "an enabling power" all are in need of.
"It enables the recipient to do and to be what he cannot do and cannot be if left to his own means," Elder Hamula said.
He spoke of how Christ attained the fullness of grace from His Father in Heaven and said that all can attain that grace. "Jesus wants us to know Him, and we know Him by knowing how He came to be who He is," he said. "He wants us to know that we too can receive 'grace for grace' as He did, and that we too can receive of the fullness of the Father just as Jesus did."
In his remarks, Elder Hamula spoke of six attributes individuals can develop to attain the same grace that Jesus Christ did, first noting that "the divine power of grace is extended to us incrementally," in the "line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little" pattern He has long followed.
"The enabling power of grace does not come to us all at once. We do not overcome our mortal weaknesses and deficiencies overnight. We are not perfected and do not achieve the full stature of Christ in a day. We 'grow in grace.'"
1. Exercise faith in Jesus Christ.
"We cannot lay claim to the enabling power of grace if we do not believe that Jesus Christ lives, that He is 'full of grace,' and that He is willing and able to deliver us to His grace. At a minimum, we must have hope in the 'exceeding riches of his grace' (Ephesians 2:7, see also 1 Timothy 1:4). You see, if we have hope, then we will be moved to act. And when we act on hope that is founded on truth, we will most assuredly receive, in due course, confirming witness."
2. Repentance
"Alma proclaimed that 'whosoever repenteth shall find mercy' (Alma 32:13), which is a form of God's grace. Mormon taught the same thing: '[B]lessed are they who will repent and hearken unto the voice of the Lord their God; for these are they that shall be saved. And may God grant that men might be brought unto repentance and good works, that they might be restored unto grace for grace, according to their words'" (Helaman 12:23-24).
3. Be humble
"Making weak things become strong is the very work of grace. If humility is necessary for us to claim the Lord's grace, we might well ask what humility is. Briefly stated, humility is the submission of one's own will to the will of God and giving Him the honor for what is accomplished."
4. Do all you can
"As Elder Bruce C. Hafen once wrote, 'The Savior's gift of grace to us is not necessarily limited in time to 'after' all we do. We may receive his grace before, during and after the time when we expend our own efforts'" (The Broken Heart [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1989], 155).
5. Keep the commandments
"If grace were dependent on perfectly keeping the commandments or perfectly denying ourselves of all ungodliness, our persistent imperfection in mortality would forever preclude us from acquiring grace. Grace is intended, after all, to enable us to more perfectly keep the commandments and pursue a godlier walk, until we attain the full stature of Christ."
6. Receive the Holy Ghost and seek the gifts of the Spirit
"Indeed, we are filled with the grace of God when we receive the Holy Ghost, for it is the Holy Ghost who distributes and delivers to us God's sanctifying, enabling and perfecting powers."
At the conclusion of his remarks, Elder Hamula summarized what he had taught, and said, "If you understand what I have taught, then you may understand what Jesus Christ has said to all of His followers, from the beginning of time to the present hour: 'My grace is sufficient for you.'"
