When compared to advanced steels, advanced aluminum alloys in lightweight pickup truck design produce lower environmental impacts
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Transportation announced today their proposed rulemaking for the fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards for light-duty vehicles model years 2022-2025.
The biggest groups representing America's auto parts makers, advanced materials manufacturers, and emission control companies are joining forces to voice their support for consistent emissions and fuel-economy standards for light-duty vehicles such as passenger cars and pickup trucks
Lincoln's all aluminum-bodied 2018 Navigator wins North American Truck of the Year; Honda's 2018 Accord with aluminum chassis wins North American Car of Year; and Aluminum a key feature in finalists for all award categories
DETROIT, MI – Over the next decade, automakers will continue to increase the adoption of high-strength, low weight aluminum in new car and truck construction at a faster pace than any time in history. Total aluminum content is expected to grow from 397 pounds per vehicle (PPV) in 2015 to 565 PPV by 2028, representing 16 percent of total vehicle weight, according to a survey of automakers conducted by Ducker Worldwide reaffirming continued market share growth for aluminum into high-volume vehicles.
New regulations that will boost the fuel economy of the nation's medium and heavy-duty truck vehicle fleet recognize the importance of mass reduction technologies such as aluminum to help reach these goals.
(DETROIT) — New research from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute's (WPI) Center for Resource Recovery and Recycling confirms an overall recycling rate of 91 percent for automotive aluminum. The peer-reviewed study, funded by the Aluminum Association, examines how much aluminum used in the United States' light-duty automotive sector is recovered and recycled from vehicles at end of life. This new study supports findings from earlier third-party government and auto industry reports to confirm aluminum is the most sustainable choice for the environment.

Our theater of seasons
Al B of Hartland: "A lone Canada goose flew overhead, honk-a-lonking at a good goose speed. Its head turned from side-to-side. I hoped it would find whatever it was searching for.
"A number of subspecies of Canada goose have been recognized, with only a couple being distinctive. In general, Canada geese are smaller in the north and darker in the west. The smallest forms are considered a different species called the cackling goose.
"Skunk smell was in the air. It's a sign of spring.
"That's worth honking about."
The vision thing
Plus: Fun facts to know and tell
A report from our Official Geologist, Rock Doc of River Falls, Wis.: "BB has had a lot of great bird and other natural-history photos lately, so I thought it might need one of a happy-face rock.
"This is an example of what is informally called an 'omar stone,' or 'omar.' Omars are not infrequently found in local gravel deposits and are often mistaken for Native American artifacts. They are fine-grained grayish rocks with rounded, sometimes near-spherical holes. These cavities were originally deposits of calcite, which formed rounded masses called concretions. As calcite is a somewhat soluble mineral, the concretions weather away, leaving the holes. This can sometimes give a rock a whimsical appearance.
"Omar stones are found in glacial deposits throughout the Midwest, but they aren't originally from around here. They come from a rock layer called the Omarolluk Formation (hence 'omars'), which outcrops in the Belcher Islands area in Hudson Bay. This is a gray sandstone deposited in an ocean perhaps as long as 2 billion years ago. Glacial ice and melt-water rivers did the job of transporting them our way.
"I'd say this rock is happy to be here!"
Gee, our old La Salle ran great!
Allie Down by the River: "Subject: Nice weather, and remembering Grandma's Cabin. Waxing nostalgic? Am I allowed to be nostalgic at 37? [Bulletin Board says: Certainly!]
"Am I allowed to be nostalgic at 37? [Bulletin Board repeats: Certainly!] I would probably be one of the last people to call myself 'old,' but nostalgia isn't reserved for those fortunates who've achieved that status, is it? I don't think it is.
"I took out the garbage Monday morning, and as it was 'warm,' I'd decided against wearing shoes. I'd stepped out onto the damp stoop, and was amazed: the smell in the air — it was just like the air at Grandma's Cabin. We live a few blocks from shore, near the convergence of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers. Grandma's Cabin was on the Gull River, some 150 miles north, so it couldn't have been 'just like' the air at Grandma's Cabin. But somehow, it was.
"The scent was transporting. For a fraction of a second, I was 8 years old again, running down the hill to the dock with the dog, and lying on my stomach to watch the dragonflies skim over the water.
"It was probably the dampness of air and ground, combined with the smell of the thawing garden and the quality of the morning light, that lent that 'something' to the atmosphere. It's succeeded in conjuring up all sorts of Grandma's Cabin memories: fishing, cleaning, and frying up Sunnies . . . Grandpa's fishing sweaters in the closet . . . the hand pump at the sink in the kitchen . . . card games and puzzles at the old linoleum table until well after dark . . . posters on the wall identifying a variety of plants and trees. Grandma's Cabin was, at one time, the place we went to 'get away' from everything. It had an ancient refrigerator and electric range, a woodstove for heat, a radio, and games for entertainment, as well as the togetherness that happens in a three-room cabin.
"We went fishing there, swimming at the dock, and for long walks up the road. We picked berries in season, watched the Northern Lights from the dock, and took the boat to all sorts of 'secret' fishing spots.
"It's not the same nowadays. That area is all developed now, and mostly residential. But I remember when you could barely see the houses next door, through the trees, when the only sounds were the wind in the trees and the wildlife and the twice-daily train over the river bridge.
"It was a magical place."
Our times
Including: Our livestock, ourselves
DebK of Rosemount: "Credit-card purchases tell the world too much about us. It's making me nervous. Not that there isn't an upside to these algorithms (a word that brings back long- and happily repressed memories of Calculus I) that track every move we make. I was quite pleased, in fact, when our credit-card company quickly detected fraudulent use of our account. Turns out that the culprit, having exhausted herself in the effort to swipe my credit-card information, felt the need for a day at a San Antonio spa. Bingo! I can almost hear the excitement in the Visa fraud office. 'Pull the plug on that card, guys! Ol' DebK doesn't do spas. Or Texas.' (Not that I mind that others do, of course.)
"The latest evidence that I'm being followed too closely has to do with the distressingly early arrival of this year's lamb crop. Taxman and I planned carefully to have the babies arrive in late April — a week or so after tax filing deadline and well after perilous cold had departed the scene. Alas, one of last April's boy lambs failed to consult that master plan, catapulted over the fence separating rams from ewes and . . . did the deed with every single one of our ewes, including his very close female relatives. On its face, this was a very unsavory business, but it led to worse: a nightmarish February in which Taxman (as available) and I struggled to save babies from the elements, going so far as to board tiny triplets in the mudroom, which now qualifies as a Superfund site. But back to my point: Saturday's mail included a catalog from Premier 1 Sheep Supplies, the outfit that promptly responded to my orders for emergency lambing supplies when the ewes started delivering a couple of weeks back. This handsome publication features a mama goat and her baby (both properly confined) and the title 'Fences That Work.'"
There's nothin' like a simile!
The Retired Pedagogue of Arden Hills: "From my Sports Trivia page-a-day calendar:
'Chicago Cardinals defensive back Charlie Jackson said of Cleveland Browns running back Jim Brown in 1959: 'That's an awful thing to see that hole open up and Brown come blowing through it. You feel like a man trapped on a trestle by an unscheduled freight train."'
BULLETIN BOARD SAYS: We are old enough to have seen, with our own aging eyes, Jim Brown run.
He was no freight train; he was a bullet train.
There's nothin' like a simile! (responsorial)
Mrs. Patches of St. Paul: "The posting from The Retired Pedagogue of Arden Hills about Jim Brown contained this quote: 'That's an awful thing to see that hole open up and Brown come blowing through it. You feel like a man trapped on a trestle by an unscheduled freight train.'
"It reminded me of younger days. We lived on a farm, through which a creek ran. A slow-moving Great Western train also crossed our land, crossing the creek at one point. My brothers liked to cross the trestle to get to the other side (why else?), but I was a bit leery — partly due to the fear of heights. The train seemed so slow, we thought we could outrun it . . . MAYBE! But I didn't take any chances.
"My fear heightened when one of our dogs was caught in the middle of the trestle when the 'Weedy' came along and ran over it. We feared the worst, but the dog had just flattened itself down and the train passed harmlessly over him!
"I still didn't want to get caught out there. I didn't think I could flatten myself as much as the dog did!"
See world
Including: Vive la difference? — and: Know thyself!
Another close encounter of the natural kind, reported by Rick Rich of Circle Pines: "There is a wetland near my office, and this morning I noticed that a tom turkey was in a clearing strutting his stuff for no one in particular.
"A few moments later, six turkey hens emerged into the clearing to soak up the day's first days of sunshine.
"All throughout the day, I could see the tom, strutting in full plume, even as the sun turned to snow. As the hours passed, that tom would be in the clearing, showing off while the females completely ignored him.
"I thought it quite foolish — how nature has the males waste all their energy trying to gain favor with the girls. Then I was humbled when I remembered that's how I spent my teenage years."
A thought for today
Or: There, but for the grace of God . . .
Kathy S. of St. Paul: "If you are having a bad day, just remember this: You had nothing to do with handling the envelopes at the Academy Awards."
Band Name of the Day: Skunk Smell

Utah trade mission to Brazil will build business relationships
Salt Lake City, UTAH — The Utah trade mission to Brazil led by Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED) will depart Saturday September 21st and is bound for the cities of Sao Paulo, Curitiba, Londrina and Rio de Janeiro.

Chia seeds contain a large amount of omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for reducing inflammation and fighting chronic diseases, says About.com. However, not enough studies have been done to support the major health claims of chia seeds, as of 2015.
In addition to having a lot of omega-3 fatty acids, chia contains fair amounts of fiber, calcium, magnesium and antioxidants, states About.com. The fiber in chia seeds is soluble, which aids in digestion. People who are not accustomed to large amounts of fiber are advised to start consuming chia seeds in small quantities.
Some studies suggest that eating chia seeds is beneficial to fighting diabetes and cardiovascular risk markers, reports About.com. However, consuming chia seeds has the potential to reduce the absorption of certain medications. An ounce of chia seeds has 180 milligrams of calcium and 96 milligrams of magnesium. They are also low in carbohydrates and almost none of it is sugar or starch.
It is advised by About.com to consume chia seeds with water or some type of liquid, because the seeds suck up a lot of liquid in the body. It helps to serve them with yogurt or homemade sugar-free jello, or to blend them into smoothies and shakes. It is also possible to make "tapioca" with chia seeds and coconut cream.

... times anyone else with myasthenia experiencing pain like this my doctor says im not in any pain yet it still hurts
Myasthenia Gravis - I have been gettin alot of pain in my lower back in my neck and in my legs at?

Responses (3)
I am taking Cellcept (mycophenolate mofetil) and have experienced pain in my knees and hips. It has slowly gone away though. I was diagnosed about a year ago. I had not had any trouble with my back or legs. I did have pain in my neck. I also had trouble keeping my head up when I was tired (neck muscles giving out). Now that I am taking three different drugs for MG, I am now symptom free.
i am taking cellcept pyridostigm and mestinon timed release i have been getting pain in my back legs and neck and it has not gone away i also had a thymectamy last year sucks to deal with it and my doctor treats me like im lying
My Genral Physician said that the side effects of the drugs are for those that crop up normally, say one in a thousand and there are reactions to others in the order of one in ten thousand or greater. Your doctor does not know whether you are in pain or not. Only you can determine that. If he or she can't accept it, then I would start looking for another doctor. It seems to me that your doctor for some reason thinks your pain is just in your head.
I also have mg, found out 1 month ago. I've had pain in my lower back, neck and legs for years but when I couldn't walk I decided to have it check out. Don't let your doctor tell you if you are in pain or not, you know your body best. Be persistent and find a Dr. that will listen to you. The first Doctor I went to, made me feel as if I was this hypochondriac. I'm on mestinon now for 2 weeks, my lower back, neck and my legs do better. the soarness is still there but not as intense as it was. Find yourself another Dr..
I'm on IVIG and Mestinon. I've had MG since 2011. I too am having a lot of pain especially in the week between IVIG doses. My doctors do believe me which is nice. It takes narcotics to control the pain at times. I agree with other comments, your doctor can not tell whether you have pain. Sounds like he/she doesn't want to deal with it. From medical point of view pain is extremely hard to treat.

The marimba is a keyboard percussion instrument related to the xylophone. Marimbas consist of wooden bars suspended over a set of vertical tubes, or resonators, and struck with wool mallets. The wooden bars are laid out in the same way as the black and white keys on a traditional piano keyboard, although they are thinner and wider than those of a xylophone. When the wooden bars are struck with mallets, the tube below each bar vibrates as sound passes through it to give the marimba a more resonant, richer tone. In fact, the marimba is pitched an octave lower than the xylophone. Suppliers of these percussion instruments are to be found using productpilot.com.
The origin of the marimba is uncertain, although in its simplest form, it was one of the earliest musical instruments made by mankind. References suggest that marimbas were developed independently in Africa and Central America and had different physical characteristics depending on their point of origin. Originally, the vertical tubes of the marimba were made from calabashes, or bottle gourds, of different sizes. Modern marimbas rely on tubes made from aluminium or brass, cut to various lengths to produce the pitch of the note required. Wooden bars, especially rosewood, produce a warmer, more natural sound than synthetic alternatives, although synthetic keyboards are typically durable and do not go out of tune.
Marimbas come in various sizes, ranging from 5.5 octaves, suitable for professional solo repertoire, to 4.0 octaves. Most orchestral marimba parts are written for smaller, 4.0 or 4.33-octave instruments. The size of a marimba is usually directly proportional to its price. Buyers can find companies with extensive product ranges and strong reputations on productpilot.com.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Lawyers for a New Jersey legislative panel investigating a political payback scandal say a former aide to Gov. Chris Christie has shown no valid legal purpose for refusing to comply with a subpoena.
Monday's response was to a court filing on behalf of former Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Kelly, who is seeking to quash the subpoena.
The legislators want Kelly to turn over emails, text messages and other documents that involve a plot to block traffic near the George Washington Bridge for political retribution against a Democratic mayor whose town experienced the gridlock.
Documents already released indicate Kelly set the lane closings in motion with a message: "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee."
Two-time Christie campaign manager Bill Stepien is also fighting to have his subpoena withdrawn.
Oral arguments are set for Tuesday.

Madison Police Detective James N. Haspel, 49, of Chatham, was arrested by the New Jersey State Police today morning as he was on his way to work, authorities said.
A 25-year member of the Madison police department, Haspel is accused of second-degree official misconduct, and third-degree charges of attempting to endanger the welfare of a child and attempting to transmit obscene materials to a person under 16 years old, authorities said.
The incidents are alleged to have occurred between December 2009 and May 2010, when Haspel exposed himself more than once via webcam to a person he believed to be a 13-year-old girl, but who really was an undercover detective, authorities said.
"This police officer took an oath to uphold the law and protect people," Attorney General Paula Dow said. "We charge that he betrayed that oath in a shocking manner by exposing himself to someone he believed to be a young girl."
Official misconduct involved Haspel allegedly sending webcam images from a hotel in Columbus, Ohio, where he was attending a training conference for the police department; and communicating with the "girl" while on duty at Madison police headquarters using a computer supplied by the borough for official police business, authorities said. He did not send webcam videos from police headquarters, authorities said.
If convicted of official misconduct, which is punishable by up to 10 years in state prison with no possibility of parole until the fifth year, Haspel would have to forfeit his police job. He earned an annual salary of $92,268 last year, according to public records.
And if convicted of the third-degree endangerment charge, which is punishable by up to five years in prison, Haspel would be subject to registration as a sex offender under Megan's Law.
Haspel, who was held at the Hunterdon County Jail and released after posting $75,000 bail, could not be reached for comment.
Madison Police Chief John Trevena declined to comment.
Madison Mayor Mary-Anna Holden was saddened to hear the news, saying, "He's a terrific detective. I'm really shocked. Last person you would expect" to be arrested on such charges.

Negotiating commercial leases: Who makes the first offer?
Wednesday, July 12, 2017
For many commercial tenants, negotiating a good lease or lease renewal against an experienced agent or landlord can be a challenge. While an entrepreneur focuses on marketing and managing, savvy real estate agents and brokers are specialized salespeople. Their job is to sell tenants on leasing their location at the highest possible rental rate.
Tenants may go through the leasing process only two or three times in their entire lifetime — yet they have to negotiate against seasoned professionals who negotiate leases every day for a living. Negotiating appropriate leasing terms is vital for a business owner as the amount of rent he pays will directly affect the company's financial bottom line.
Whether you are leasing a new location for the first time or negotiating a lease renewal for your business, here are three money-saving tips for commercial tenants:
Hiring a lawyer or an accountant
Few lawyers or accountants possess savvy or practical experience in commercial real estate. Therefore, check their websites or ask them directly if they specialize in commercial real estate. Another good approach is asking other business owners in your professional circle for referrals.
The legality of the lease document is not often in question — to that end, is often more important to review the lease document for negotiable points rather than legal points.
Who makes the first offer?
Whether you are looking at a new lease or a lease renewal, it is best if the landlord makes the first proposal.
Don't be surprised if your verbal request (especially for a lease renewal proposal) falls on deaf ears. Write a brief letter to the leasing representative or the property manager requesting a written proposal within 10 days.
If you make the first renewal offer, this implies that you will be staying — thereby undermining your negotiating strength.
Never just accept the first offer
Even if an offer seems reasonable or you have no idea what to negotiate for, never accept the leasing agent's first offer. More often than not, this first offer or rental rate is inflated. Many agents use a strategy of starting negotiations at a higher rate that allows them to give in slightly.
We frequently completes lease agreements at 15-25 percent less than the agent's opening offer. In one case, the rental rate came down from an asking rental rate of $8 per square foot to under $3 per square foot following our negotiating for our client.

Recent discoveries made with the EXOSAT medium energy experiment have highlighted
the need to improve the on-board high time resolution application software. The
Observatory has therefore implemented a number of new on-board computer programs
(modes - eg. MHER7, MHTR5, MHTR4) to exploit to the full the capabilities of the
system. Naturally, with several ME experiment modes designed for quite specific
applications, the selection of a particular combination of modes which would
maximise the scientific return from an observation is not always straightforward.
To assist the user, a few standard OBC configurations suitable for observing a
wide range of classes of X-ray object have therefore been defined and are
outlined in this note. Note that the two new OBC modes, MHTR4 and MHTR5, are
described on p.34.
This is the standard EXOSAT configuration for observations of weak ME sources, if
high time resolution is not important. The ME array halves will normally be
swapped every 3 hr or so using the standard array swap strategy (eg. HI+, H2-,
Hl-, H2+ etc) to give the best estimate of the background counting rate.
Unexpected brightening of the source or solar activity should not cause CPU
or telemetry overload problems.

(Ar+Xe) every 0.25s.
MHTR5 4 msec intensity samples summed 15
over all Ar detectors.
GHBL4 256 channel spectrum every 8s. 5
LDIR2 Direct mode ~25
This configuration substitutes MHER6 for MHTR5 and provides intensity samples
over a selected range of energy channels with a time resolution of 9 msec. If a
limited energy range of 2-6 keV is chosen, the background for an 'offset mode'
observation in the MHER6 data is about a factor of 10 lower than that in MHTR5.
This mode could be used, for example, to search for low level
pulsed emission with periods >50 msec from a supernova remnant. The telemetry
usage, ~84%, is slightly higher than for Faint Source (a). If higher time
resolution is required, it is possible to reduce the telemetry requirements of
the LE by using a diamond filter and hence increase the MHER6 resolution to 6
msec. Note that MHER6 has an option to accumulate intensity samples over two
selected ranges of energy channels.
A major disadvantage of MHER6 is that CPU overload can occur if the source count
rate increases to ~500 cts/sec. This results in a halt of the CPU processor and a
potentially dangerous spacecraft operational state since monitoring of 'safety
mode' conditions is continuously carried out by the 0BC, notwithstanding the loss
of about 20 minutes of data while programs are re-initiated. This mode will
therefore not be used if there is the slightest chance of bright flaring or
bursting behaviour.
This configuration is designed to provide high time. resolution spectra during an
X-ray burst. Even during the most intense flares or bursts, the CPU usage will
remain comfortably below the level at which the OBC would halt. It is also suited
to observations of all sources of medium intensity such as long period pulsars
(Vela X-1), dipping sources (X1755-338) etc. The LE is used with a diamond filter
in order to reduce the telemetry load. Depending on whether the observer is
primarily interested in the continuum or burst properties, the ME configuration
can be offset, coaligned or a combination of both. A full LE image can be
acquired if MHTR5 data is collected with a time resolution of 4 msec. Note that
changing the time resolution of the MHTR5 data would result in a loss of about 20
minutes OBC data (QE rates are still available from the housekeeping

This configuration is designed to provide the highest possible time resolution
continuous data (0.25 msec) over a selected range of energy channels, together
with high time resolution ME spectra and GSPC spectra at the normal time
resolution. The ME would normally be coaligned although it is sometimes worth
spending 1 hr with each array half offset to obtain good background estimates.
This mode should be considered the standing 'QPO hunting' configuration. Although
certain circumstances may allow it, the LE is normally not operated because of
CPU limitations.

GHBL4 256 channel spectra every 8s. 5
This configuration is designed to give high time resolution data in four energy
bands. It can be used, for example, to determine the energy dependence of any
QPO's detected with the High Time Resolution configuration. Normally the ME
should be coaligned, although an hour or so in array offset mode (each half) is
recommended if spectra are also of prime importance. The maximum incident count
rate (source + background) which can be accommodated with both MHER5 and MHER7
active is ~1300 cts/s. 'Since the Xe background is ~600 cts/s, this represents an
incident source count rate of ~700 cts/s (or~200 UFU; coaligned). For sources
brighter than this, only the Ar data should be routed to the OBC, resulting in a
lower deadtime and no Xe data in the HER5 packets. Incident source count rates of
up to ~1200 cts/s can be accommodated in this way. If required, MHER7 can be
configured to give intensity samples over 2 selectable energy ranges every 2
Alternatively, MHER2 may be substituted for 14HER5. HHER2 will provide 128
channel Argon and Xenon spectra every Is integrated over the whole instrument.
The disadvantage is that if all array is offset to provide background
information, MHER2 be stopped and MHER5 started resulting in the loss of ~5 minutes of ME data. Note
that MHER2 does not provide intensity samples. MHER2 requires
significantly less CPU than MHER5 and can probably be used for all allowable incident count rates.

This configuration has been designed for observations of extremely bright sources
such as Sco X- 1, GX5-1 to provide energy-dependent high time resolution data
with a minimum deadtime from 031, sampling losses. To ensure tile safe operation
of the detectors, tile ME should be coaligned or slightly offset to provide an
incident count rate in each Ar detector of not more than 500 cts/s. Only Ar data
should be routed to the OBC to minimise tile deadtime. Xe data is provided by
MHTR5. Spectral data is provided by the GSPC only if required MHER7 can be
configured to provide intensity samples over 2 selectable energy ranges every

For sources with known periods <10s it is often advisable to use either MPULS
or MPULS2 OBC programs in order to minimise the telemetry load and provide high
quality phase resolved spectra. MPULS should be used with sources brighter than
~50 cts/s and MPULS2 with fainter sources. The telemetry usage depends on the
pulsar period and the number of times the data is folded over this period prior
to telemetry.

PITTSBURGH (AP) – State court officials are setting up Pennsylvania's first sex offender court in Pittsburgh next month, a pilot program that could eventually be used in jurisdictions around the state to help reduce recidivism and speed up cases.
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Debra Todd and other judges announced the specialized court during a news conference in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, saying it is modeled after similar state efforts in New York and Ohio. The special court is slated to open June 23 and the Supreme Court will monitor its progress over the next year to see whether it's a model that should be used in other parts of the state.
Under the system, three designated judges will hear Megan's Law cases in an effort to increase expediency, lower the number of repeat offenders and more efficiently manage the county's sex offender population, officials said. Last year, court officials said, about 300 Megan's Law cases went through the county court system.
Regular case reviews and using designated judges experienced in sex cases should cut down on the number of convicted offenders who go on to commit the same type of crimes again, court officials said.
"Over the years, I am hoping that this truly will reduce recidivism," Todd said, noting that the state already has special courts for DUIs, drugs, mental health and other types of cases.
Allegheny County President Judge Donna Jo Mc- Daniel, who will preside over the court, said it would take longer than a year to figure out how much the special court was helping to reduce recidivism, but that in that time span officials will know how much it is helping to expedite cases.
The court will initially handle only Megan's Law cases, but screening for other types of sex cases could come up down the road, Todd said.
Along with McDaniel, Allegheny County judges Jill E. Rangos and Thomas E. Flaherty will round out the special court. They will be hearing these special cases in addition to having a regular caseload, McDaniel said.

Digital Britain's failure to support next-generation 'LTE' mobile broadband technology is short-sighted and is a missed opportunity, according to Top 10 Broadband (www.top10-broadband.co.uk ).
Released today, The Digital Britain report aims to ensure that all households have access to a 2MB broadband connection by 2012. Its publication follows investigations into the viability of a host of competing technologies, including fixed line, fibre optic and mobile broadband.
The study recommends that to help achieve universal access mobile broadband should be employed to solve the problem of broadband 'not spots'. However, by relegating it to this minor role, the government has ignored the potential of mobile broadband Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology to transform mobile broadband into a faster service.
LTE is a 4th generation (4G) mobile broadband standard that is set to supersede current-generation 3G networks. Tests have shown that LTE can deliver broadband speeds of up to 100Mb – 50 times the government's baseline target of 2Mb.
The viability of the technology was highlighted recently by research showing that LTE will be adopted by up to 50 per cent of mobile broadband subscribers in Western Europe by 2015. Had this been taken into account, mobile broadband could have played a key part in the report's aims.
Alex Buttle, director at Top 10 Broadband, said: "LTE technology has advanced dramatically to the extent that Sony Ericsson has predicted it will be ready for widespread deployment by 2012.
"Once LTE is in place the mobile broadband experience will be transformed, thanks to connection speeds that potentially outperform fibre optic broadband networks.
"Digital Britain appears to regard mobile broadband as little more than a stopgap or a substitute for a fixed line connection."
Without the need to lay cables, LTE also has the advantage of low operating expenditure for broadband providers. Furthermore, the technology is especially suited to using bandwidth heavily applications. This makes it ideal for the new internet services that the report is attempting to promote.

When you are given a task that you struggle with, it can be tempting to give up and walk away. Here are some tips on how to change your mindset.
How will that help? Well, it could enable you to look at the problem in a slightly different way, and that would help you solve it!
Mindset is the beliefs you have about yourself. A psychologist from Stanford University, Carole Dweck defined two types of mindset. Fixed and growth.
People who have a fixed mindset believe that they have basic talents and abilities, and that you either have these talents or you don't.
With a growth mindset, people believe that brains and talent are just the starting point. With determination and hard work, we can go beyond the basic talents that we have.
You can train yourself to think more positively about a task, by reframing it. When you are confronted by a problem, that you think is too difficult or that you won't manage, try looking at it from a different angle.
See these examples.
Try this out, and let us know how you get on!


text: A senior Georgian rebel commander said yesterday his forces were preparing to storm the Transcaucasian republic's parliament where President Zviad Gamsakhurdia has been under siege for more than a week.Fighting continued along Tbilisi's Rustaveli Avenue, the main thoroughfare in the capital, through the morning. But it was not clear whether rebel National Guards, backed by the shadowy Mkhedrioni (Horsemen) opposition group, had the power to force their way into the fortified complex. Rebel Guard Maj. Gela Lanchava said opposition forces had launched a successful counterattack through the city center after losing some positions to government forces fighting from their base in the parliament. Asked if they were now preparing to storm the parliament, he said: "Yes." Speaking outside rebel headquarters at the opposite end of Rustaveli Avenue from parliament, Major Lanchava said his National Guards were being backed by the Mkhedrioni, an underground opposition group which claims several thousand supporters. President Gamsakhurdia's men, who have been resisting rebel attacks for more than a week, widened their area of control after opposition military leaders had started to unite against him and called for his resignation over the weekend. A cease-fire was declared Saturday and fighting has decreased since then. But sporadic gunfire continued Sunday with each side blaming the other. The Georgian Health Ministry estimates more than 50 people have been killed and about 300 wounded in a week of conflict. Pro-Gamsakhurdia forces appeared to control most of the area around parliament. Approach roads were blocked by trucks and other barricades and a carpet of broken glass led toward the back entrance of the imposing building. The opposition accuses Gamsakhurdia of being a dictator. He denies the charges and says rebels are trying to topple a democratically elected administration. Gamsakhurdia was elected president by a landslide vote in May.

Selective greeniness
Good question: "If other countries didn't subsidize fuel, consumption would be dropping faster worldwide. So why aren't the greens going after fuel subsidies?"
The answer, of course, is that the greens really only complain about rich countries that do not directly subsidize fuel, and then mostly the United States. If greens complained about developing countries and their fuel subsidies they would discredit their most powerful ideological ally: International anti-Americanism.
11 Comments:
Such as Venezuela. Depending on what exchange rate you use, the cost per gallon in Venezuela is in the neighborhood of 8-15 US CENTS per gallon.
Not surprisingly, this has led to a substantial increase in gasoline use and in horrendous traffic jams.
Well, you know, if you want to make waves in the ocean you sink a battleship, not a dinghy.
It's interesting, those whom groan so much about how awful the U.S. is don't seem to mind enjoying the benefits of living here.
Your proclamation against preservation for future generations is either delusional, or drug induced. Assuming it's the first misconception, a faint feeling of dread, ennui, and deja vu along the lines of Milton's "Paradise Lost" for putzes punctuates the air with a stirring foul stench evocative of a typical morning with Rush. Pipe dream 11th hour salvation persists in trance-like hallucinatory swirls of confusion and angst, much like having bees run loose in your head. The real-or-imagined windmills/dragons of your conservative Don Quixote nightmare run amuck?
Realizing that it's likely that in your non-discretionary youth you hatched a casual road-to-ruin nihilism that somewhat missed the reality-based mark, you must by now acknowledge that, although premature, that brain caper inadvertently came not to fruition but ruin. Speeding downward towards ground zero, the King Kong of your GOP boner aspirations and ambitions have been finally put to rest by the tattering biplane's bullets of cold hard reality, with a helping hand provided by your last election albatross poot-butt namby-pamby administration. Yet another maiden-voyaged Titanic-like Repug project, the icebergs of doubt and pointlessness seething on your frigid horizon.
Is the Carl Gordon bot back or something?
" Carl Gordon said " apparently there has been a sale on Exlax and someone consumed the entire package.
By D Boyd, at Thu Jul 31, 08:51:00 AM:
Of ya Carl, well how about the fact that if one examines cultural deappropriation, one is faced with a choice: either reject structuralist neodialectic theory or conclude that the raison d'etre of the observer is social comment. However, as in All Tomorrow's Parties, Gibson reiterates nihilism; in Pattern Recognition he analyses cultural deappropriation. The subject is contextualised into a that includes language as a totality.
It follows that we have to choose between nihilism and cultural theory. The postpatriarchialist paradigm of context states that consensus is a product of communication, given that the premise of cultural deappropriation is invalid.
Or something like that.
I think the following quote from the movie "Billy Madison" addresses Carl Gordon's comment quite nicely:
"...what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
Lunny rythmns with funny, but Edward definitely ain't. Pathetic, maybe, but definitely not funny.
Do us all a favor, Ed, pickup the remote and turn off the Turner Classics channel
By Fat Man, at Thu Jul 31, 12:13:00 PM:
"greens really only complain about rich countries that do not directly subsidize fuel, and then mostly the United States"
And PETA only protests middle class ladies wearing furs, not biker gangs wearing leather.
Lame. The word you were looking for Tig is lame.
TigerHawk - Your heart's in the right place but your idea could use a little work. It would actually be a better sell to push for the limitations of the subsidies to the poor. It avoids the "heartless 1st worlders looking to stick it to the 3rd world poor again" meme that's just waiting to get picked up.
"Lunny rythmns with funny, but Edward definitely ain't."....hmmm, I hope that your preception of humour is more finely honed than your spelling skills. Or, perhaps, I touched upon an area that you find sensitive, anon ? Sensitive enough to have generated a comment, though be it a mite inane. Enjoy your day and be careful when you sit.

Fans of Shraddha Kapoor can't stop praising her since the release of ABCD 2. Proving their admiration, more than 500 people crowded the streets to catch a glimpse of Shraddha last night. Shraddha was left pleasantly surprised by incident and thanked her fans for their support. The actress was present at the venue to attend a private dinner for fundraising culinary platform 'Food With Benefits'.
The area was filled with fans unanimously cheering for 'Vinnie'. This only shows that her mind-blowing dance moves have captured the audience's attention to such an extent, that she is now recognized by her screen name.
Pastry Chef Pooja Dhingra posted an image on Instagram saying,
"500 people outside my kitchen for Shraddha Kapoor."
Looks like Shraddha Kapoor's fans really do love the actress a lot!

Follow @flickrhivemind Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind. If you log into Flickr you will see your private photos and larger thumbnails.
Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos

Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.

https://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. Google has a bad habit of keeping out-of-date links and thumbnails in their search results, I can try to help you remove them.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are.

So this new problem just started last night. My monitor shuts off. The blue power light is still on, but the monitor is black. If I power the monitor on and off again, I can see that the computer is still on and I see my desktop for about 3 seconds, before the monitor goes black again. It's extremely frustrating!
Okay, I figured it out. It's my monitor. I plugged in an old tiny monitor and that is working fine, but it is NOT configured correctly for the tiny monitor.
I have a Vison M198ADD monitor and it just will not show the desktop for more than 3 seconds at a time. Is there something I could do besides buying a new monitor?
I thought it was the power cord, but it's the monitor.

The honourable central regional minister, Kwamena Duncan says he has fears for the future of the region.
He says his fear is heightened any time he thinks of the next twenty to forty years when "prominent people are to be counted".
"This region, I am saying that in the next twenty, thirty, forty years, if the prominent people come to be counted, I am afraid. I am afraid!".
The honourable minister expressed this sentiment at a stakeholder's meeting at the Regional Coordinating Council on Monday after a presentation by an education committee he constituted to ascertain the factors leading to the poor performance of pupils in public basic schools within the region.
The committee, which assessed some twenty schools from eleven districts which performed poorly in the past year, identified the lack of supervision, parents' shirking their responsibilities and children showing very little interest in education as major challenges bedevilling education in the region.
Speaking on the findings, the regional minister said parents must be held responsible for their children's welfare.
"…whereas we look at this one, I am saying that, that which is in our remit is to ensure that we get the parents to be on the kids to take their studies serious".
A visibly disturbed Mr. Duncan indicated that the responsibility does not only lie with government to change the current standing of the region and called on traditional authorities, MMDCEs and parents to work towards children of the region benefiting from educational institutions in the region.
The regional minister said it is totally unacceptable for the region to boast of some of the great educational institutions in the country yet play host to students from other regions while those from the region continue to wallow in illiteracy.
He added that as a matter of urgency, the committee on education which was charged to identify the cause of the decline in education among public schools in the region with Nananom and the RCC will in a letter to the minister of education and copied the president demand the thirty percent (30%) quota reserved for students from the central region when admissions into senior high schools are being done.

Billionaire businessman Manu Chandaria joined hundreds of USIU students and staff demonstrating along the Thika Superhighway Wednesday, over a "grabbed" piece of land reportedly sold to a businessman by retired President Daniel arap Moi.
The demonstration caused a major traffic snarl-up on the road as they marched to Muthaiga Police Station.
USIU insists the 20-acre piece of land belongs to the institution, but a Kenyan living in the US has provided documents insisting it was recently sold to him by the former President at a cost of Sh500 million.
USIU Vice-Chancellor Paul Zeleza said the decision to hold the demonstration has been sanctioned by the management board, with notifications already done to police.
Formal complaints over the alleged grabbing were lodged at the Kasarani and Muthaiga Police Stations respectively.
Prof Tiyambe Zeleza, the VC of USIU, said the university reported the incident at Kasarani Police Station and Muthaiga Police Station but "the visit (to the police stations) did not yield any fruit."
"We placed a Caveat Emptor Notice in the Standard on Friday July 8, 2016 notifying the general public that the land is owned by USIU-Africa and is not up for sale," said Zeleza in a statement.
In the meantime, the University has engaged lawyers expeditiously pursue all the legal avenues available to secure the land.

SAN JOSE — Attorneys for 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith and former teammate Delanie Walker filed a response to a civil suit related to a shooting at a party at the football stars' East San Jose home last year.
In the answer to the complaint the attorneys allege that plaintiff Ronndale Esporlas "knew of the dangers and risks to his undertaking" at the party "but nevertheless, freely and voluntarily exposed himself to all risks of harm."
The response, filed Tuesday, also states that injuries suffered by Esporlas, who was shot in the leg, were not caused by the defendants and any compensation may be "abated, reduced or eliminated to the extent plaintiff's negligence caused or contributed to his own injuries and damages, if any."
The civil suit stems from a late-night party in June 2012 at Smith's home in the unincorporated foothills east of San Jose that drew more than 100 people. It was hosted by Smith's roommate, with the linebacker's permission.
Police said gang members crashed the party, and two people were shot and Smith was stabbed.
Earlier this month, Santa Clara County prosecutors said they are considering charges against Smith related to possessing assault rifles that were purchased legally in another state, but violated California law.

Our inner yogi glows were flowing last Thursday, as we teamed up with Zappos to put on the Flow & Glow yoga event in Las Vegas.
Led by Katie Brauer, a yoga guru with more than two decades of experience on the mat, we welcomed hundreds of consumers at the Zappos headquarters for a night of yoga – think downward dog in the dark.
Attendees stayed balanced and hydrated with Suja organic cold-pressed juice, and browsed apparel and accessories from Zappos' top yoga brands, such as Cozy Orange, Lucy, and Gaiam.
Mats filled up in hours of the announcement on LivingSocial, but 50 lucky fans who could not attend won prize packs through our #ZapPose Twitter Sweepstakes. Giveaways included comfy and chic essential yoga essentials such as Soybu headbands and Manduka towels.
Wish you could have gotten your glowing sun salutation on? Live vicariously through some of the event photos below or head over to Pinterest, where we've pinned some of our favorite yoga inspirations.

Wade Waters – Right Back (Prod By Kayo)
[audio:http://www.thecouchsessions.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/13-Wade-Waters-Right-Back-Prod-By-Kayo.mp3|titles=13 – Wade Waters – Right Back (Prod By Kayo)]
Most remix projects start off already behind the 8 ball with me, especially if I liked the original beats. When all the "Rainbow" remixes dropped (all the remixes to Jay's "The Black Album") they were all cool, but let's be real…did ANYONE come with a better beat for "PSA", "Lucifer" "What More Can I Say" "99 Problems" or "Dirt Off Your Shoulder"? Naw…they didn't. But I still like to check for these projects to hear another cat's interpretation of an artist's song.
So in steps Kayo, a producer from France who drops his "Inner City Bootleg Volume 2" remix project. The intro "Inner City Blues Part 4" to the project is a beautiful instrumental that sets the tone for the rest of the project. Erykah Badu's "Real Thang" is given a brand new hip hop feel to it and Ed OG's "Sayin Something" gets a jazzy facelift to chill out to. Jay Z's "Song Cry" gets remixed soulfully and "Roc Boys" gets "primo'd" up. Other remixes included in the project are Lone Catalyst's "World Famous", Smif n Wessun's "Crystal Stair" and Kev Brown and Cy Young's "Get Up" but my favorite moments on "Inner City Bootleg Vol. 2" are Kayo's instrumentals because they stand by their selves with no previous tracks to compare them to. This is a solid follow up to Kayo's "Inner City Bootleg Vol. 1" that had over 5,000 downloads and should definitely put Kayo on your radar as one of the next producers to check for.

The academic grade is a measure of the student's educational achievement. NOVA uses the following weighted alpha/numerical grading scale:
All IB and AP courses carry an additional 1 point weight in calculating the student's running Grade Point Average (GPA). If a student in an AP or IB course receives a letter mark of B- (7), when calculating the overall average for the quarter, year, or all four years, one point will be added to his B- letter grade. Therefore, the student receives 8 points (7+1) for this AP/IB course. This adjustment is automatic and does not entail any grading adjustments by the instructor. It will only affect the student's running or cumulative grade point average when they are calculated by the school.
A semester grade is calculated at the end of each semester by averaging 40 percent of each quarter grade and 20 percent of the semester final exam. Final grades for a full year are determined by averaging the two semester grades. The final grade for a half-year course is the same as the semester grade. Grade point averages are calculated on a 12-point weighted scale as indicated above.
Students enrolled in Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, any foreign language level I and II must complete the year with an overall average of 70 (grade C-) or better in order to progress to the next course in the sequence as required for graduation. If the student does not attain a final grade of 70 (grade C-) or above, it will be necessary for the student to attend an approved summer remedial course and complete the course with an average of 70 (grade C-) or better. Under exceptional circumstances, with approval of the Head of School, a student can be tutored in the subject with the understanding that, prior to the fall registration, the student will be reexamined and must achieve an average of 73 (grade C) or better in order to take the next course. Students in any honors course must maintain an average of 73 (grade C) or better to continue honors placement for the following year.

New Year resolutions
So this year I was thinking of having a screen free day once a week (obviously, not counting work). BUT I don't think I can do it. No computer, email, TV or cinema. I am not that strong! Just do the eating less and taking more excercise as usual I suppose. Sigh!
Maybe I should read Proust of War and Peace or something but I'm not convinced it will improve me.
Good luck with your resolutions whatever they are.

I think the idea of Proust of War and Peace a bit daunting! I am aiming to get my fitness levels up by taking regular uphill exercise so I won't be so far behind in Sept
- 2:28 pm
- Boo and Trev said...
Trouble with War and Peace is I only ever like the Peace bits when I have tried it. I have now resolved to have at least one vegetarian meal a week. Thus saving money and increasing my repetoire and avoiding Proust!
- 4:42 pm
- katemcnabb said...
I've made my resolutions which include:
* Run a half marathon (one I might live to regret)
* Write at least one entry a week on my blog
* Stop putting off boring chores and just do them so they're over and done with
* Visit Hampton Court Palace (which is a nice one)
* Budget which I'm having to do anyway on account of having a lot less money these days
Oh and what was the other one, let me see...oh yes lose weight, eat healthy blah, blah, same one I've had since the dawn of time.
I like the veggie meal idea Boo, I might pinch that one and give it to Carl :)
- 5:23 pm
- Boo and Trev said...
OOh Hampton Court, lovely. Is that a friend related outing or one that Martins could rudely invite themselves onto?
- 5:33 pm
- katemcnabb said...
It's not an anything related outing other than the fact I really want to go there - in fact if you wanted to come it would stop me probably going on my own!
Ooo exciting, shall we try and plan that in some time then? Am sure Mum would fancy it too. That would be really great!
- 8:15 pm
- oreneta said...
Anything that avoids Proust is probably a good resolution, and you honesty is probably one you don't need to make!
Kate, I didn't know you had a blog!
- 9:39 pm
- Helen said...
The only Proust related things which are appealing is eating madeleine's though I'm not sure what they are. Maybe eating a macaroon a week would do as Proust related activity?
- 7:19 pm

my new years resolution is to learn to drive. Oh, and to become a Doctor!

Watch the Heart-Stopping Rescue of Two Sea Turtles From a Meat Hunter
The sight of two suffocating turtles, on their backs with fins tied up, horrified tourists on Little Corn Island, Nicaragua. Thanks to their quick thinking, the animals were returned safely to sea.
A video posted on YouTube Monday shows tourists rescuing two loggerhead turtles, each weighing about 250 pounds. Chris Skone-Roberts, a professional rescue diver and former paramedic, first spotted the reptiles. When he tried to douse them with water, a woman angrily pulled him off—claiming they were hers. It's presumed that once the turtles suffocated to death, she would have sold their meat on the black market.
Skone-Roberts alerted the police and then rallied a group of divers and other tourists to help the animals. They poured buckets of water over them for about 30 minutes to revive them. On regaining consciousness, they were transferred to wooden carts and wheeled to the sea.
"Sometimes, you are faced with a situation so outrageous that you have no other choice than to intervene and right a wrong," said Skone-Roberts, according to Western Daily Press. "These poor creatures are endangered enough, but to leave them to die like this was inhumane, so we had to act."
Members of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society came to the site and helped the turtles swim away.
"We left them on their backs to stop them from struggling and tearing their fins apart," said Skone-Roberts. "Once we cut the ties, they went off like the clappers. It was wonderful to see."
Loggerhead turtles have been listed as a threatened species since 1978. The Sea Turtle Conservancy estimates that only 40,000 to 50,000 nesting females exist in the world because of habitat loss and hunting.
More than 35,000 sea turtles—mostly green sea turtles—are hunted for their meat and eggs every year in Nicaragua. The animals' meat is some of the cheapest available protein in that country. Locals also report that catching and selling turtles is the fastest way to feed their families.
