The conventional way of tackling the problem would be to build a series of large water-treatment plants in the area, which covers about 300 square miles. But Alan Berger, an associate professor of urban design and landscape architecture at MIT, has another idea. Because some plants absorb pollutants as water flows by them, carefully designed wetlands can clean up the countryside while preserving its natural feel and providing public park space.
Berger realized this notion could apply to the Pontine Marshes while on a fellowship at the American Academy in Rome in 2007-2008. He then began trying to persuade officials of the Italian region of Lazio, in the province of Latina, where the marshes are located, to consider the notion. Now, after performing innovative interdisciplinary testing with researchers in MIT's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Berger believes he knows how to make the concept work best. Regional officials have since become enthusiastic about the idea: In September 2009, Lazio's government received a grant for 4.5 million euros as part of the European Union's "Life+" program for environmental works, specifically to clean up the area using natural processes.
That represents a reversal, Berger claims, from the response he usually got when he started floating the idea in Italy. "People said I was insane," recalls Berger, who has designed several large-scale environmental cleanup projects in his career. "But if you do good research, you can change the type of project that is done." As Lazio's planning director, Carlo Perotto, said of Berger in 2008: "He opened a new way of thinking."
Why inefficiency, here, works
As the waterways of the Pontine Marshes move from inland hills to the sea, they accumulate excess nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizer used on the adjacent farmland. That affects the crops and livestock using the water further downstream, creating potential hazards throughout the food chain.
However, water polluted in this way can be cleansed after coming into contact with the right kind of vegetation. Marsh grasses absorb toxins and effectively remove them from circulation in the ecosystem. The wetlands Berger wants to build in the Pontine Marshes would direct polluted canal water into a twisting channel with vegetation, from which the water would emerge clean.
The precise amount of pollution in the marshes varies by area and season, but in some areas near the sea, notes Berger, the canals almost wholly contain waste water. Wetlands can reduce pollution levels by over 90 percent, if wetlands provide a large enough area for the water to flow through. Berger would like to initiate the project by building an extremely large wetlands — 2.3 square kilometers — intended to clean a central artery in the Pontine canal system.
But the Pontine Marshes project constitutes an engineering problem with two key challenges. First, the water flowing through the wetlands must move slowly enough so that the plants can absorb the pollutants; second, the pattern of the water flow must give all water molecules equal opportunity to encounter the vegetation.
Berger's solution is to have the water move through an S-shaped course that slows it down to a speed well under one mile per hour. The Italian engineers of the 1930s built perfectly straight canals, since they were simply concerned with transporting water efficiently. But forcing water to meander through winding channels in a wetlands gives more water molecules the best chance of being purified. "Inefficiency is how environmental systems work," says Berger.
Since Berger is not an engineer, he joined forces with Heidi Nepf, a professor in MIT's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) who specializes in analyzing fluid dynamics, to test his designs. Nepf, CEE graduate student Jeff Rominger, and a Harvard graduate student, Gena Wirth, who was working for Berger's design group, the Project for Reclamation Excellence (P-REX), built multiple models from Berger's plans, featuring variations of S-shapes and alterations in the density and placement of the wetlands vegetation.
To scrutinize the designs, the researchers sent water injected with an fluorescent dye called Rhodamine WT through the models and used a fluorometer to measure the intensity of the light as the water exited, which indicated how broadly the water had spread. Test results indicated that the optimum design was one featuring relatively wide S-shaped channels with lots of vegetation underneath and small "islands" of earth to help the water disperse evenly.
"Heidi's and Jeff's work gave us a scientific understanding of how these plans functioned, and allowed us to push the design envelope," says Berger.
Same function, new form
And while a few pollution-removing wetlands exist in the United States, Nepf says, they use identical rectangular templates plunked down regardless of the surrounding landscape's features. "What's novel is Alan seeing that water treatment can be made attractive," says Nepf. "In the wetlands treatment community, you would never go to this step." Since the Italian countryside is a tourist attraction, she notes, eliminating stretches of concrete canals (and the need for treatment plants) "lets Italy find cultural or economic value" while improving the environment. Berger's designs would also include park space built adjacent to the wetlands, in order to give the public better access to the countryside.
Berger's approach to the Pontine Marshes acknowledges "that in many cases the landscape can't be returned to its original state," says Tom Avermaete, a professor of architecture and public building at Delft University of Technology, in the Netherlands. Instead, Avermaete believes, designers should seek new ways of mending damaged landscapes: "These processes of reclamation are one of the main challenges for future architecture and urban planning."
The collaboration between Berger and Nepf thus expands the way treatment wetlands can be built, by finding a new form for the function. Berger is currently part of a group filing plans in Italy this spring that could allow his designs to be implemented, which would require further government approval. Up to 102 wetlands modules of varying size could be placed in the region, he thinks, although the full extent of the project will depend on the Italian government's ability to acquire additional land rights from some of the local property owners.
But the fact that local officials have secured EU funding and now seem intent on implementing a natural cleanup of the marshes strikes Berger as progress in its own right. In planning, he says, "Most of the time we design what we've already built. But now, whatever happens in Italy, it won't be the same old stuff."

Orange juice is a preferable morning nectar to be consumed for breakfast by the people worldwide. The presence of Diacetyl and Limonene in it would surely be extremely undesirable as these two harmful components not only destroy the taste but also could be hazardous. The occurrence of these compounds can take place through microbiological contamination due to poor processing or handling procedures. Limonene, a colorless liquid hydrocarbon is classified as a cyclic terpene and is more common d-isomer that possesses a strong smell of oranges. It has a detrimental impact on cellular health if consumed for long. It also has been associated with neurodegenerative diseases and general cell aging. Whereas, diacetyl, an organic compound is a yellow/green liquid that has a buttery flavor. Its exposures could lead to hazardous flavorings in orange as well as other fruit juices due to its toxic properties.
These undesirable materials mainly do not set back flavor, unless at concentration level is extremely high. Therefore, quantifying the accurate amount of the presence of Diacetyl and Limonene in orange juice is imperative before it reaches the consumers. California-based EST Inc. has invented a unique electronic nose called zNose® that quantifies the concentration of hydrocarbons and detects the presence of undesired components in orange juice within a minute. The zNose® is specially designed to support quality control testing of aroma and flavor virtually in any food or beverage.
This unique technology is very fast and possesses the ability to analyze the chemistry of any vapor over the range C4-C20 using a 1-meter db-624 capillary column. It can speciate and quantify the discrete chemicals present in any odor, smell, fragrance, vapor, or odor in a minute with part per billion sensitivity, unlike an array of physical sensors. The zNose® also produces high-resolution visual olfactory images, called VaporPrints™ and hundreds of virtual chemical sensors simultaneously.
Testing Limonene & Diacetyl in Orange Juice:
Testing Standards-
- For quantifying the presence of Limonene & Diacetyl in Orange Juice fast, keep the temperature programming as high as 18°C/second.
- Full hydrocarbon spectrum viewing C4-C20 is accomplished by ramping the db-624 column temperature from 40°C to 140 °C in 10 seconds.
- Conversely, the maximum resolution is achieved using isothermal column conditions (40°C to 150°C).
Testing Limonene in Orange Juice-
- Clear zNose® using Air Blank and 10ps-0
- Create orange juice standard
- Pre-concentrate headspace vapors from orange juice standard
- Analyze orange juice with zNose® using 10ps-0 method
- Clear zNose® using Air Blank and 10ps-0 method
Testing for Diacetyl in Orange Juice-
- zNose® initialized by clearing the air blanks using 10ps-0 method.
- Create diacetyl/orange juice standards.
- Tenax absorber air blanks (170°C) using 10ps-0 method.
- Cool, Tenax absorber to room temperature.
- Pre-concentrate headspace vapors from diacetyl/orange juice standard.
- Dry the tenax absorber.and raise it to 170°C.
- Analyze tenax vapors with zNose® using 0ps-0 method.
- Tenax absorber air blanks (170°C) using 10ps-0 method.
Hence, zNose® possesses the ability to detect and quantify the presence of harmful components such as Limonene & Diacetyl in orange juice easily within a minute with speed, precision, and accuracy. It also capable of carrying over 300 measurements per day which proffers a cost effective quality control tool with a payback period of 30 days in most of the situations. Therefore, zNose® is a utilitarian device which is a one stop solution to keep the quality check in order to give the consumers a healthy and safe taste of nature.

The Iowa 61st General Assembly in 1965 approved legislation permitting the development of a statewide system of post-secondary educational institutions, identified as merged area schools, operated under the direction of the State Board of Education. The boards of education of county school systems were authorized to plan for the merger of county school systems, or parts thereof, to develop a merged area. Each merged area was required to have a minimum of 4,000 public and private pupils in grades nine through twelve. The merged areas were authorized to develop area schools as either area colleges or area vocational schools.
The legislation permitting the development of the two-year colleges provided a procedure whereby the public junior colleges operated by local public school districts could be integrated into the community colleges. There were 16 public junior colleges operating in Iowa at the time the community colleges were organized. The first public junior college in Iowa, Mason City Junior College, was organized in 1918. All 16 public junior colleges merged with these new institutions.
The Department of Education was to direct the operations of the development of merged area schools as either community colleges or area vocational schools (Chapter 260C of the Code of Iowa). A number of these merged area schools were formed from or later combined with existing public junior colleges. Merged area schools were also referred to as "area vocational or technical schools"" or "community colleges," depending on their primary mission.
The statement of policy contained in the original enabling legislation and amended in 1967, 1985, 1990, and 1993 identifies the following categories as appropriate educational opportunities and services to be provided:
1. The first two years of college work including pre-professional
Standards were developed in 1965 to facilitate the development of these post-secondary institutions. A new state accreditation process based on evaluation criteria were developed and approved by the Iowa State Board of Education in 1994.
The provision for funding of area schools was provided through a combination of federal, state, and local funds, and students' tuition. Funding includes a local tax of 20 1/4 cents per $1,000 of assessed value on property within the merged area for operational funds and an additional tax not exceeding 20 1/4 cents per $1,000 of assessed value for the purchase of sites and construction of buildings. The levy for sites and construction must be approved by the voters in the merged area for a period not to exceed 10 years. General state aid was distributed to community colleges on the basis of line item appropriations by the General Assembly until 1986 when a state foundation aid formula was approved by the General Assembly. The individual community colleges have the authority to establish tuition. Tuition for residents of Iowa, however, is not to exceed the lowest tuition rate per semester, or the equivalent, charged by the three state universities.
There are currently 15 comprehensive community colleges serving the 15 merged areas, including all of the 99 counties in Iowa. All 15 community colleges are approved currently by the State Board of Education. The 73rd General Assembly in 1990 changed the name - merged area schools to community colleges and a statutory council to the State Board of Education, the Community College Council, was established to advise the board on significant community college issues.
Ten of the community colleges have developed multi-campus institutions. A total of 30 major campuses are now operated by community colleges with additional programs located on numerous smaller, satellite attendance centers through the merged areas.
Community colleges offer a wide variety of instructional services depending on local needs in the individual merged area. The services are offered through the three major instructional divisions of adult education, vocational-technical education, and arts and sciences education. The adult education division includes adult basic education, high school completion courses for adults, and continuing and general education courses of interest to adults. Vocational education programs include supplementary courses for employed individuals who are in need of occupational upgrading and preparatory programs to prepare individuals for immediate employment or for further education. Arts and sciences programs are the equivalent of the first two years of a four-year college program. In addition, specialized programs, services, and activities are provided for special populations, for the handicapped and disadvantaged, and customized training is provided for business and industry.
Credit enrollment for all community colleges for fiscal year 1998 was 96,877 (excluding adult education and secondary programs operated at local high schools). Arts and sciences end of year credit enrollment was 64,034 and vocational end of year credit enrollment was 32,843. Adult and continuing education enrollment for the 1997-1998 school year was 724,673. (This enrollment is subject to duplication).

Indian Hills' two main campuses are in Ottumwa and Centerville and there are IHCC education center in Van Buren, Lucas, Jefferson, Keokuk, Monroe, Davis, Wayne and Mahaska counties.
Indian Hills' commitment to excellence is visible through the extensive building program that has occurred on the Ottumwa campus. The learning resources center and art gallery were completed in 1984. The Hellyer Student Life Center, home to the two-time national champion Warriors basketball team and Efner Academic Hall were opened in 1985.

Coolpad Cool 1 is unveiled in India today and the new Dual Camera smartphone will go on sale starting 5th Jan 2017, exclusively on Amazon India.
The mobile was launched in China back in August 2016. It is jointly developed by LeEco and Coolpad. For info, Coolpad and LeEco have merged parent companies in China and now are a single entity. The Cool 1 is the first device built by the collaboration of both the companies.
Coolpad has sold more than 3 million smartphones in India since inception, as shared by the Coolpad Global, CEO Mr. James Du. Coolpad aims to be among the top 5 smartphone companies in India and China. Syed Tajuddin (Coolpad India CEO) shared that Coolpad has more than 25% share in sub 8K price mobiles on Amazon India.
The Coolpad Cool 1 Dual comes in 2 variants in India and both the variants are available for Rs. 13,999.
- Cool 1 Dual 32 GB Storage and 3 GB RAM – Available offline.
- Cool 1 Dual 32 GB Storage and 4 GB RAM – Available on Amazon India.
The 3 GB Ram version will be available offline in retail stores while the 4 GB version is exclusive to Amazon. To reiterate, the price for both the models is same. Buying online is a better deal.
Design and Display
Cool 1 Dual is a smartphone which looks more like the LeEco designed phones. It resembles the LE2 or the Le 2 Max with a similar rectangular construction, slightly higher thickness and the iconic mirror finish fingerprint scanner at the back.
Though there is Coolpad branding at the back of the device, signifying that the device is from Coolpad in India. The USB Type C port at the bottom of the device resides between 2 speakers. Having 2 speakers is always a good thing.
The design looks robust and metallic finish makes it look more premium when compared to most budget phones.
There is a 5.5 Inch IPS LCD display with Full HD resolution (1920*1080) pixels with 401 PPI.
Furthermore, it is a performance beast, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 Processor clocked at 1.8 GHz. The 8 Core processor offers enough muscle to kill any modern Android game. There is Adreno 510 GPU which offers superior graphical performance.
As far as the performance goes the Cool 1 can match the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and the Xiaomi Mi Max, which are one of the best performance devices in sub 15k price range.
Also, the mobile comes with 32 GB of internal storage, expandable upto 128 GB using the Micro-sd card.
The other highlight is the presence of Dual Camera setup at the back of the device. There are Dual Rear cameras ( 13 MP + 13 MP) with f/2.0 aperture and Sony Lens. One camera is monochromatic which helps take a black and white image and takes care of details and depth of field.
The other camera captures the colors. The image signal processor merges both the images and creates a final image. It works on the same principle of the Dual camera like the Huawei P9 and the Huawei Honor 8. (pioneers of Dual camera photography).
To click selfies, there is an 8 Megapixel front camera which comes with f/2.2 aperture lens.
OS and Features
Further, the phone comes with EUI 5.8 along with the Android marshmallow 6.0 OS. The software is optimized by the LeEco instead of the Coolpad. Coolpad phones usually come with Cool UI. The smartphone comes with a fingerprint scanner at the back of the device with a mirror finish surface.
Connectivity & Battery
Notably, it has 4G LTE as well as VOLTE support and can work with JIO, Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Sim. The smartphone also supports native 3G and 2G networks. There is a USB type C port which also enables fast charging feature.
Also, the mobile boasts of great battery life as the smartphone comes with a 4000 mAH Capacity battery. There is Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 support that ensures that the battery can charge rapidly.
Overall the Cool 1 Dual is a very solid offering for the price tag and packs nearly everything that we can expect in this price range. However, there are some shortcomings like non-expandable storage, a thick black bezel on the display (similar to LeEco).
Seems like Amazon has delayed the 5th Jan 2017 Sale for Cool 1 Dual.

Federal agents raided the office of President Donald Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen on Monday, seizing records related to a $130,000 payment made to a porn actress who says she had sex with Trump more than a decade ago.
The raid on Mr. Cohen's office was done by the U.S. Attorney's office out of Manhattan and was reportedly based on a referral from special counsel Robert Mueller.
This latest development is the clearest indication yet that Trump and those in his inner circle are in legal jeopardy. As Michael Cohen has been the president's personal lawyer for many years, if he were to face prison time, he would be under enormous pressure to cut a deal with Mueller and give testimony against Trump.
Here's the scoop per Politico:
Monday's FBI raids on Michael Cohen's office, home and hotel room are the clearest sign yet that the president's longtime attorney is in serious legal jeopardy. They also represent yet another threatening development facing Donald Trump after more than a year of investigations into his campaign and presidency—perhaps the most direct danger yet.
The evidence sought by investigators reportedly relates to bank fraud and campaign finance violations, both of which primarily point to one thing. Cohen apparently used a home equity credit line to borrow the $130,000 he paid Stormy Daniels for her silence just weeks before the 2016 election. If Cohen lied to obtain credit from a federally insured financial institution, that is a felony punishable by up to 30 years' imprisonment. And because the payment was likely an in-kind contribution to the Trump campaign, it could constitute a willful violation of campaign contribution limits, a separate felony punishable by up to five years' imprisonment.
That the investigation of Cohen was apparently referred by special counsel Robert Mueller to the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York—a Trump appointee—is an early indication that at this point, the matter is not directly related to the Russia investigation. But that doesn't mean Trump's exposure is any less serious. Cohen knows where the LLCs are hidden. He's been at the center of Trump's financial universe for decades. If he is as exposed as he seems on the Daniels payment, one wonders what information he might be able to offer prosecutors—including Mueller—in exchange for a deal.
In addition, while the guilty pleas of Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, deputy campaign chair Rick Gates, and former national security adviser Michael Flynn were all significant, none of them directly jeopardized the president the way a Cohen deal would. If the FBI seized evidence showing that Trump directed Cohen's payment to Daniels, Trump may also have committed a felony violation of campaign finance law. If Cohen and Trump worked together to come up with the scheme, they might also both be guilty of conspiring to commit a campaign finance violation. And if Trump (notwithstanding his recent denial) actually knew that he was the beneficiary of the nondisclosure agreement, he might be guilty of a separate offense—failing to report that asset on his personal financial disclosure form.
Are you worried for
President Trump and his attorney Michael Cohen?

The Amsterdam Area is home to a world-class aerospace industry that has been honing strong traditions for over a decade. Leading international companies such as Bombardier, GE Aviation, Mitsubishi and CAE have set up operations at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. They use their base here for their MRO, spare parts logistics, training facilities and office functions (i.e. marketing and sales, holding and leasing companies) in Europe.
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol offers an ideal environment for OEMs like Bombardier and Fokker Services, their suppliers and sub-suppliers. Schiphol is connected to many OEMs' hometowns – for example Seattle, Montreal, São Paulo, Tokyo and Toulouse – by daily direct, non-stop flights.
"An important consideration for us was that the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area boasts one of the most modern airports in the world." – Akinori Kojima, Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation
Europe's fourth largest airport by passengers flown and third largest by cargo volume, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is the second best-connected airport on earth. Amsterdam is your perfect logistics hub, home to numerous specialised third-party logistics providers with a dedicated aerospace vertical: examples are Aviall, DB Schenker, IJS Global and Wencor. Strategically located within the EU, Amsterdam's dense, high-quality infrastructure offers fast connections to all important markets, regardless which means of transportation you prefer.
"Schiphol's geographic location means we have easy connections both within and beyond Europe." – Jan de Kreuk, Head of Airfreight, Hanjin Logistics Europe
A wide range of specialised educational institutions, e.g. VTOC Fokker, has built a strong basis for our dedicated and flexible aerospace labour force. An extra advantage of Dutch skilled aerospace maintenance staff is that they're multilingual. Due to this and other factors, many aerospace companies such as CAE and FlightSafety International have set up their training facilities here.
The National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR) is the independent knowledge enterprise in the Netherlands on aerospace. The overall mission is making air transport and space exploration safer, more sustainable and more efficient. NLR's multidisciplinary approach focuses on developing new and cost effective technologies for aviation and space, from design support to production technology and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul). Source: NLR
The 100 new electric buses will be used by more than 100,000 passengers a day. The fleet is already the biggest zero-emissions bus fleet in Europe, but the airport isn't stopping there.
Amsterdam's circular economy, airport and English skills have again secured awards and high rankings for the city.
Airlines at Schiphol are offering more flights to India and China, plus many new destinations within Europe.

Had? If she still owns it run over and whisper a few sweet and kind words and bring it home. Thanks, my friend.Delete
I'm partial to plain boiling: strain it through your bandanna. But I agree perking is good procedure. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Darn fine method, Jim, but my bandanna isn't clean so I'll just stick with a paper filter. I've used the cowboy method of boiling the grounds over an open campfire many times. It makes for a tasty cup of coffee, and chewy too. Thanks, my friend.Delete
My mom still has an old percolator in a kitchen cabinet, and I have a granite-ware version with my camping supplies. Still tastes best.ReplyDeleteReplies
I own several Coring Ware Cornflower percolators, two different sizes if I remember correctly. I use mine of whenever possible...just because. How's the weather? Sixty-five here.Delete
Still have my Corning Ware cornflower coffee pot. And you are so right - nothing like the aroma of coffee perking in the morning! Makes the whole day better. Now run out to the coop and get some fresh eggs.....ReplyDeleteReplies
Eight minutes at full perk, then slack off on the flame and allow it to settle....best coffee in town. Thanks, my sweet friend.Delete
I have a stove top version as my 'backup'... And it DOES make good coffee!ReplyDeleteReplies
Move towards the front....takes time but it's worth the effort. Thanks, my good friend.Delete
Best coffee I've had is cowboy style, coffee dumped into boiling water. Being somewhat effete, I like to pur it through a strainer rather than straining the grounds with my teeth.ReplyDelete
Yep, we have a stovetop Corningware cornflower pot, too. We use it when the power goes out on our single burner butane burner.ReplyDeleteReplies

That makes me think of some old commercials. They would be in black and white and come on while we watched Chet Huntley and David Brinkley.ReplyDeleteReplies
I miss those old news programs and the men...what a changed world.Delete
I still have a coffee percolator on my gas stove. These days I use it mostly to boil water for instant.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hey, Harry, nice to see you are among the living...there were reports. Tell 'ya what...take a chance and pour real coffee in the pot and you'll have a much improved beverage. Trust me. Thanks, my friend.Delete
Amen! My favorite coffee pot is a stove top percolator. Perfect for the wood cookstove (and the very best coffee ever).ReplyDeleteReplies

I have two peculators and have to agree, perc'd is bestest! Mine are electric but I have one stashed for TEOTWAWKI that goes over a fire ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
Smart, Kellie....always have a backup. Thanks, my sweet friend.Delete
OK .. now you're talkin' My daily brew is made in my beautiful 1960's era 10 cup glass Pyrex percolator.

My husband is forbidden to touch it as he broke the glass stem on my 8 cup version! ;)ReplyDelete
Wish I had a nice Pyrex. I always keep my eyes peeled for one. Own a couple of the Corning, one old Revere Ware copper bottom. I do enjoy my perked coffee.ReplyDelete

Meanwhile, the U.N. has courageously shined a spotlight on Israeli war crimes, and one wonders if discussions about Fallujah or
UN General Secretary Ban commented:
must be the capital of two States – Jerusalem and Israel – living side-by-side in peace and security, with arrangements for the holy sites acceptable to all, if peace in the Palestine Middle Eastis to be achieved, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned today....
He cited as obstacles to peace continued Israeli evictions and house demolitions in East Jerusalem, the latest occurring yesterday, closure of Palestinian institutions there, and the expansion of settlements contrary to international law and the Roadmap peace plan espoused by the Quartet – UN, the European Union, Russia and the United States – that seeks a two-State solution to the conflict….
He also called on
to re-open its borders with Israel to allow in reconstruction material 10 months after the end of its three-week assault on Hamas there, noting that a donors' conference in Gaza raised $4.5 billion in financial aid for the purpose. Egypt
"Little if any of that money has been delivered," he said. "Families have not been able to rebuild their homes. Clinics and schools are still in ruins. I urge
to accept the UN reconstruction proposals as set forth, recognizing that the only true guarantee of peace is people's well-being and security." Israel
He called on both Israel and the Palestinians to carry out "full, independent and credible investigations" in accordance with the recommendations of a UN commission led by Justice Richard Goldstone, a former prosecutor at the UN war crimes tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, which found evidence that both sides committed serious war crimes in the Gaza war.
Ban's comments come amid controversy over the Goldstone report, which, according to Goldstone, found:
The Mission found that the attack on the only remaining flour producing factory, the destruction of a large part of the Gaza egg production, the bulldozing of huge tracts of agricultural land, and the bombing of some two hundred industrial facilities, could not on any basis be justified on military grounds. Those attacks had nothing whatever to do with the firing of rockets and mortars at
…. These attacks amounted to reprisals and collective punishment and constitute war crimes. Israel
Goldstone's report on Israel's December 2008 attack on Gaza is a landmark effort by the global community to stand up to oppression, but Ban's comments carry this even further, officially stating the obvious: even in victory, Israel has done little if anything to "clean up its act." If what

The forthcoming issue of the Claremont Review of Books leads off with editor Charles Kesler's meditation on the meaning of Reagan's optimism: "For the Gipper." Kesler breathes new life into this tired theme:
Long ago, Aristotle pointed out that cowards are pessimists, because they fear everything. A courageous man, by contrast, is confident, and confidence breeds a sanguine disposition. In other words, true optimism is the shadow of excellence, and particularly of courage. Reagan was optimistic not out of random temperament but out of confidence in his own character. He was hopeful about America because of his confidence in the American people's character.
Reagan's optimism is rarer than the counterfeit kind, based on a sham form of courage and typified by the person who believes, based on experience, that he will always win. For much of the past century, this was the liberals' optimism, the false belief that history must be on their side because so far they had progressed from victory to victory. Drunks often feel a similar kind of exhilaration. The Communists, drunk on their own Marxist moonshine, elevated historical determinism into an official article of faith. But in the course of a single decade, by making them taste political, economic, and military defeat, Ronald Reagan sobered up millions of men and women who had been ideologically intoxicated.
Don't miss this one.

Ranking the toxicity of drinking water contaminants as a prelude to the choice of point-of-use and point-of-entry treatment devices
Description:Ranking the toxicity of drinking water contaminants as a prelude to the choice of point-of-use and point-of-entry treatment devices. Presenter: Mohammed Dore, Ph.D. Brock University and Res'eau-Waternet. Additional Contributors: Prof. Andrew Laursen, Department of Biology & Chemistry, Ryerson University, Toronto, Ontario. Point-of-Use (POU) and Point-of-Entry (POE) treatment devices with NSF classification numbers 42,53,55, 58 and 401 are now available that could enhance the multiple barrier approach to drinking water treatment. NSF # 401 is capable of removing most micro-pollutants such as pharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupters. The objective of this research is to provide households with and without centralized water treatment, information on the choice of such devices. While the choice for specific locations would depend on their source of raw water, some generalized information on the ranking of toxicity of contaminants would be beneficial. Accordingly we develop a metric of the toxicity of priority contaminants following the method used by the US Center for Disease Control's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. Their prioritization is risk-based, with risk calculated as a function of geometric mean concentrations in media of exposure (air, water, and soil), and relative toxicity, incorporated into the calculation as a categorical factor score. Here, we present a revised priority list based upon drinking water as the sole route of exposure, following the procedure of CDC but excluding soil and air as routes of exposure. We use this to determine the 10 highest-priority chemical contaminants in each of several categories (inorganics, volatile organic contaminants, and synthetic organic contaminants). We then test various Point-of-use (POU) devices in the marketplace to determine their efficiency for removal of these highest priority contaminants. We present an assessment of relative cost versus efficiency for common POU devices.

Vancouver Marathon!
The Vancouver International Marathon is an annual race held on the first Sunday of May each year in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada .
The race started in 1972 when a small group of 72 runners ran five loops of Stanley Park to complete the first Vancouver International Marathon (known as Lions Gate Road Runners International Marathon)[3]. The marathon grew over the next few years to 300 participants in 1977. However the event suffered a major setback in 1976 when a participant, Dr. Leslie Truelove, collapsed mid-race and died due to aneurysm. In Truelove's memory, the Dr. Leslie Truelove Memorial Trophy has been awarded ever since to the first male finisher in the 50+ age category.
The 1983 race became known as the "Long Marathon" after runners were misdirected during its running — adding an extra 561 yards to the race.
Currently, several different options are available for participants[4]:
Full Marathon (a Boston Marathon qualifying event) - 42K
Marathon walkers - 42K
Wheelchair full marathon - 42K
Nordic Pole Walkers - 42K
Half Marathon - 21K
8K Course
Kids Marafun - 1K
This past week end, everyone who runned the Vancouver Marathon couldn't have been more thrilled with a picture perfect day last week end. Probably skepticism was running through their veins as the crew was setting up the night before in the heavy downpour but the sky broke in the morning, and the sun came shining through.
Almost 13,000 participants took part in the 2009 BMO Vancouver Marathon in the 42.2 km Marathon, 21.1 km Half Marathon, 8 km, and McDonald's Kids MaraFun. Benard Onsare took the men's title in the 42.2 km Marathon and Mary Akor defended hers for the 2nd year in a row with a time of 2:46:24, only 2 weeks after she completed the Boston Marathon. In the 21.1 km Half Marathon, the men's title was taken by Willy Kimosop in a time of 1:05:03 and the women's title by Lioudmila Kortchaguina in a time of 1:17:11. In the 8 km, Delta's Marc-Jason Locquiao took the crown in a time of 28:50 and Richmond's Amanda Stone took the women's title in 31:37.
Congratulations to everyone.

Forget zero-to-sixty. Ever wanted to go zero-to-eighty in 1.8 seconds? Paramount's Kings Dominion, a 2.3 million-visitor-per-year theme park serving the Washington D.C.-Richmond, Virginia area, is building a roller coaster that will do just that.
The Hypersonic XLC, scheduled to open in 2001, is the latest thrill-seekers' dream. But last summer, King's Dominion also witnessed the worst of thrill-seekers' nightmares: the death of a young man who slipped from his shoulder restraints on a stand-up roller coaster and fell to the ground, becoming one of six fatalities in U.S. amusement parks last year.
A new analysis of ride-related hospital emergency room admissions shows a troubling upward swing in the number of injuries at the nation's theme parks. Conducted by the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission, the analysis has drawn attention to wide disparities in state ride inspection and safety regulations and reinvigorated stale legislation that would restore oversight of the parks to the federal government. It was farmed out to the states under President Reagan in 1981.
"Right now there's just a hodgepodge of state regulations regarding amusement parks," said CPSC spokesman Russ Rader.
"Every other manufacturer or company that deals with a consumer product is required to report injuries that occur to the federal government, but not amusement parks. So we don't know why this spike in the injuries has occurred," he said.
According to a state-by-state analysis of ride inspection regulations compiled by USA TODAY earlier this year, New Jersey is a model for amusement park safety. It requires all rides to be checked by a state-employed inspector at the onset of the park season and inspected as many as four more times throughout the year.
But as many as twelve states have no formal inspection system, leaving safety to in-house and insurance inspectors and raising the question of whether more rigorous regulations are necessary to prevent injuries and save lives as rides become faster and more complex.
"Last year was a terribly tragic summer. But it was also an anomaly, " says Susie Storey, a spokeswoman for the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions ( IAAPA ). Storey says that while U.S. amusement parks attract more than than 300 million visitors each year, only two people die on average.
IAAPA officials, who represent the $9 billion a year amusement industry, note that many states on the no-regulation list have no permanent parks to inspect, and say that CPSC already has oversight of travelling fairs and carnivals. Montana, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming, for example, do not have a single roller coaster among them.
The CPSC report, "Amusement Ride-Related Injuries and Deaths in the United States: 1987-1999," estimated a total of 10,380 ride-related injuries at fixed and travelling sites last year, up nearly 11 percent from 1998. But one data extrapolation suggested that injuries at permanent amusement parks had nearly doubled since 1996.
That conclusion has raised eyebrows around the industry. "We've always looked to that report as the authority on injuries, but not after this year," Storey said.
Doubters include many of the inspectors themselves. Jim Barber, an insurance contract inspector and former chief of the New York state inspection program who now serves as the president of the National Association of Amusement Ride Safety Officers , says the report and its methods are "flawed."
"I certainly would question a dramatic rise in the incidents they are reporting, compared to what I've seen personally in my travels around the Northeast. I haven't seen any great increase in accidents that have been reported in the newspapers, on the television, or on the radio," Barber said.
Among the problems critics cite is the inclusion of figures from one emergency room that reported a significantly higher number of ride-related injuries and a speedier rate of increase than any other facility included in the sample. The report anticipates this criticism.
"We must be very careful when we report numbers like this. And our statisticians were satisfied that what we're seeing at that hospital reflects what's going on nationwide," Rader said.
IAAPA defends the industry's safety record as beyond reproach. IAAPA president John Graff has said that amusement rides pose a lower risk of injury than fishing, biking or even playing billiards.
Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), sponsor of the National Amusement Park Ride Safety Act , calls IAAPA's stance "appalling."
"As long as the industry fights this fundamental safety measure, our children are at unnecessary but very real risk of serious injury every time they step onto an amusement park ride," he said in a statement on the CPSC data."We would never oppose anything that would improve our safety record," Storey says.
Would tighter monitoring significantly reduce injuries or eliminate fatalities? Kathy Fackler, who launched a watchdog Web site, www.saferparks.org , after her 5-year old son was severely injured at Disneyland in 1998, believes that "well-designed regulation" can be especially effective against repeat accidents.
"Without clear, inclusive injury data, we'll never understand what's causing the injuries or how to prevent them. As long as business is left in charge of safety issues, economic factors will determine which injuries are acceptable and which aren't," Fackler said.
Barber, an advocate of beefed-up and better-funded state regulatory programs, agrees to a point. "The more eyes looking at these rides, the better off we all are," he said.
But Barber said that, in its current form, the Markey bill merely repeats work already done by other agencies.
After the week of fatal accidents last August, two of which occurred at Paramount parks, the company closed seven rides at its five parks in the U.S. and Canada while private and public officials completed investigations.
The King's Dominion ride had passed two routine inspections by the Hanover County Building Inspections Office in 1999, most recently in July, one month before the accident. The Hanover County Sheriff's Office concluded that the deceased man, Timothy Fan, 20, of Long Island City, N.Y., had "slipped out of the restraints in an effort to maximize the thrill of the ride," according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch .
CPSC chairwoman Ann Brown has said that if Congress returned ride inspection authority to the agency, she would welcome it, Rader said.
"This is a situation where amusement rides are supposed to give the illusion of danger and not actually put people in danger. But we've got a strong upward surge of injuries that shows that there is something going on. We don't know what that is," he said.

I like the user interface of this website. Newspaper style... quite cool.
The site has a good use of textures.
I would rethink the typography. Not a lot of the text on your site is scannable. I would look into using cufon, typekit or sifr to try to do this with real fonts instead of images.
I'd also try to make the body font more readable. Perhaps I would increase the paragraph spacing to help the eyes.

I once heard an EO say that weeping icons foretell that something bad is about to happen. Has anyone else heard that?
The trouble with this argument is that bad things are always happening. It is very easy to find something that an apparation MUST be connected with in a persons opinion. I am not sure that it works like that. Let us be grateful and continue to struggle day by day. If we associate such apparations too closely with particular events then we will be asked why an apparation was not manifest before many other even more catastrophic events.Glory be to God in his saintsFather Peter

REDFIELD — Aberdeen Roncalli golfers participated in the Redfield-Doland Invitational on Thursday.
Complete results were unavailable at press time.
Roncalli had a team score of 477. Other teams involved were Redfield-Doland, Groton and Aberdeen Central's junior varsity. Top scores for Roncalli were Brianna Weber with a 99, who placed third and Madison Brandenburger with a 107, which placed her sixth overall. Other Roncalli scores were Mikayla Olson (133), Hailey Thares (138) and Brooke Olson (152).
Roncalli assistant coach Kerry Brandenburger said the Cavaliers were excited to get out on the links and play.
"We were really happy to get out and get some exercise. Our varsity has improved a lot from last week," she said. "Our biggest goal today was (working on) putting. We worked hard to stay away from three- and fourputts."
The Cavaliers will host an invitational on Monday at Lee Park, beginning at 10 a.m. "We are looking forward to playing teams that are in our conference and region," said Brandenburger.

Sony is encouraging third-party publishers to adopt its Cross Buy program, which allows customers who buy the PlayStation 3 version of a game to get the Vita version for free. According to Sony Computer Entertainment Europe head Jim Ryan, it's up to the publishers -- and not Sony -- to make that decision.
"We'll obviously encourage third-parties to adopt it but ultimately whether or not a game includes Cross Buy is a publishing decision and it will be at the third parties' discretion," Ryan told GI.biz. "We'd obviously like to encourage it, whether it's Cross Buy or cross functionality across the two devices. It's like any of these things, the platform holder has a burden of responsibility to blaze a trail and if it works out others will follow."
Ryan's comments come just days after EA told IGN it was considering Cross Buy for Need for Speed: Most Wanted. "We're taking it under consideration," an EA spokesperson said, "but we have no specific plans to announce at this time."
So far, Sony has announced that Cross Buy will be utilized for the releases of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time.
While no third party publishers have made announcements about Cross Buy, games that could potentially benefit from the program are Assassin's Creed III & Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, which launch side-by-side on October 30th, and Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Black Ops Declassified, which will both launch in November. We've reached out to both Ubisoft and Activision about the possibility of Cross Buy for those titles and will update this story with any comment we receive.

Other Questions You May Have
Why is my engine oil milky brown?
Milky brown engine oil is an indication of coolant in the oil. This can be caused by a blown head gasket (or other gasket), a failed transmission cooler, or cracked casings. This condition is very serious and needs to be checked by a professional technician immediately.
How do I make sure my car battery has a good electrical connection?
Battery cables and terminals should be cleaned and inspected periodically to make sure they provide a good electrical connection.
Should I consider using synthetic motor oil in my vehicle?
Synthetic motor oils can be a good choice for high output, turbocharged or supercharged engines. Or for vehicles that are used for towing (especially during hot weather), and vehicles that operate in extremely cold or hot climates. Although more expensive than mineral-based oils, synthetic motor oils can improve fuel economy and provide longer intervals between changes.

January 3, 2012, Winnipeg, MB– The Manitoba Real Estate Association's Knob and Tube Task Force has been fundamental in spearheading the drive to move towards a protocol that will provide both insurers and consumers comfort in terms of safety, as well as certainty of availability of home insurance.
MREA Past President Lorne Weiss spoke with Richard Cloutier this morning on CJOB about knob and tube wiring issues in Manitoba.
"They've equated old wiring to knob and tube wiring in saying that it's not safe," said Weiss.
Weiss also went on to say that, "What makes wiring unsafe is people who are tampering with it and doing it in a manner that isn't up to code or in a safe manner, and that's not only true of knob and tube that's true of copper wiring and aluminum wiring that we have in our homes."
MREA's Knob and Tube Task Force, led by Chair Brad Walker, has most recently met with the Provincial Superintendent of Insurance for Manitoba and stakeholders in the insurance industry.
