Bisons fall in 12th from Syracuse
The Bisons started the scoring in the first inning of Tuesday's game but Syracuse ended it in the bottom of the 12th inning with a sacrifice fly.
After going into extra innings tied at 3-3 the Chiefs cashed in a leadoff double by Seth Bynum and a sacrifice fly hit by Brian Bixler giving Syracuse a 4-3 victory at Alliance Bank Stadium.
Bynum moved from second to third on a passed ball, and Brian Sweeney walked Steve Lombardozzi to set up the double play. Bixler sent the first pitch he saw deep to left-field giving Jason Botts no chance of throwing out Bynum tagging from third.
The Bisons had a one run lead going into the seventh inning but lost on a sacrifice fly. Jose De La Torre managed to strand three Chiefs on the base paths and keep the game tied. It was De La Torre's first appearance since May 5.
This is the second game that the Bisons have lost to the Chiefs in extra innings, the first coming on July 2 in 11-innings, when they lost 6-5.
The Herd took an early 1-0 lead on Jesus Feliciano's second home run of the season, and Valentino Pascucci knocked in his 61st RBI in the third inning. Pascucci has 56 RBI since May 10, four more than any other hitter in the International League.
Herd Starter Dylan Owen worked six innings giving up four hits, two runs, and four walks, while striking out five Chiefs. Owen was in-line for the win before the Chiefs tied it up in the seventh.
Game Notes: Jesus Feliciano hit his second home run of the season for the Bisons, he has never hit more than two in a season…Feliciano scored his second run of the game on a Valentino Pascucci single that gives him 11 in the first five games back from the All-Star break…Luis Hernandez kept pace with him with a sacrifice fly for his 44 RBI.

How private investment can grow community microgrids
How private investment can grow community microgrids
The microgrid era has begun worldwide, and investment is now creating showcase examples that enable evaluation of their economics and operational value.
Most U.S. investment has been around office campuses, including businesses and universities, and contributes to experiences with energy storage and other equipment that is continuing to progress in maturity.
Financing is usually some level of public-private partnership, with funds being spent to ensure that energy for businesses, schools and other organizations is more resilient in the face of service interruptions caused by issues such as the devastating storms that have taken down utility infrastructure in recent years.
Microgrids are installed for different reasons, but in general, they benefit users in the following ways:
1. Provide reliable, continuous power supply.
2. Reduce power cost, which can remain relatively level over a long period of time (such as decades).
3. Enhance use of renewable energy sources to help meet or exceed environmental objectives.
4. Provide high quality power for those processes that require it.
Hurdles to microgrids
Despite their newfound popularity, there are many impediments to microgrid deployments. In some regions, regulatory issues are prominent, with utilities and commissions working towards approaches that make sense to both, even if initial steps may run counter to current business models.
Other impediments include the capital cost to transition and the level of knowledge and cost to operate. Yet others are limited by lack of adoption of more "transactive" rates, which are optional today, but are critical to enabling the growth of microgrids.
While communities have been showcased in some projects, many communities haven't considered the use of microgrid technology. Yet cities and towns may have the most to gain.
Installation of microgrids can ensure the availability of communications with emergency and other remote personnel, the consistent operation of police, fire and EMT services, and the ongoing operation of centers reserved for those impacted by lost utility infrastructure.
Communities also can apply microgrids to ensure the least disruption to other utility services like water and wastewater. While many have some backup power, microgrids could enable cities to utilize renewable energy instead of emergency fossil fuel generation in place today. This could also enable communities to address renewable energy requirements.
Enter private investment
The major issue always on the table is financing — and I believe that microgrids are about to turn a corner on this issue soon. Typically, microgrids are financed through debt and grant financing, with both state and federal programs supporting their development. Going forward, we are seeing a new approach that may help move the microgrid business forward. Private investment is entering this market.
With private investment, the owner of the community or facility will no longer need to finance and operate the microgrid with its related energy production and storage devices.
Instead, the community or facility owner will contract with a firm to build and operate the microgrid. This new type of firm will fund the project in return for flat energy payments over many years at payment levels that are lower than today's costs.
The model is similar to that of an Independent Power Producer (IPP) who owns and operates a power plant, and receives payment for energy produced through contracts to supply. In the case of microgrids, the payment stream is usually the result of a single contract with the community, business, school, or other entity.
Contracts will include a Service Level Agreement that outlines the minimum performance parameters for the microgrid, and any penalties for unsatisfactory performance. In essence, this new microgrid arrangement is similar to IPP contracts to provide power, except for the parameters that are expected from a microgrid.
Is this happening now? Not quite yet, but the opportunity is around the corner. In fact, Investor-owned utilities might want to be in the business of owning and operating microgrids, if regulatory hurdles can be overcome, but in general, the private sector is poised to move.
The opportunities to move critical energy demand onto microgrids may happen sooner than you think.

From its first track, Dessas new full-length Parts of Speech (6.25.13, Doomtree Records) announces itself as something different. The Doomtree veteran and inveterate wordsmith having proved her mettle in the fields of creative non-fiction, spoken-word and hip-hop jettisons all genre expectations on The Man I Knew and croons a heartbreaking lament to a disintegrating relationship at an explosively-building clip.
From this moment on Dessa oftdescribed as Mos Def plus Dorothy Parker for the wit and flow shown off on previous solo albums A Badly Broken Code and Castor, The Twin proves she has truly coalesced as an artist, transcending the restrictions of genre to reveal an astonishing multi-platform voice.
I wanted to investigate the idea that a cohesive record isnt always made cohesive by having twelve songs that sound the same. I figured when you make a mixtape for a friend, you can get away with a range of genres and a lot of dynamic change. Why cant I approach an album like that? The sequence has to be just right, and we worked hard to nail it, but the thing that holds this record together is the sensibility of the lyrics, rather than a uniform theme.
Track two kicks off a stunning hat-trick of the records standout numbers. Call Off Your Ghost is an admittedly haunting dirge on the struggle for grace in the wake of a long relationship. An arena-sized chorus tucked into a melancholy lullaby, Ghost has that unique ability to perfectly soundtrack new love or bitter breakup at the same time.
Dessa then puts her fists up for Warsaw. The track boasts a beat like Azealia Banks playing Pacman, which provides a background for our emcees confident, hypnotic flow. Narrative takes a backseat to mood here, as Dessa spits impressionistic one-ups like I sleep with both eyes open, standing up, daring you to blink first.
Skeleton Key contains Parts of Speechs mission statement: I havent met a locked door yet. An ode to female self-reliance that doesnt waste ambiance for message, the track plays like a great, lost M. Night Shyamalan movie, calling forth an era out of time in the story of a woman, a key and a bottomless reserve of courage.
This record involves multiple narratives. It explores the same themes of love, loss, connection and communion as a lot of my work, but the angle and lens through which theyre explored sets this album apart from my previous ones. The production techniques were new for me too we spent a lot of time crafting a record that could include live players, Doomtree production, and sometimes a blend of the two.
While the album is born of Dessas artistic vision, it benefits from the collaboration of her varied friends. Parts of Speech owes much of its impact to its diverse production. Dessa got her start as a member of Minneapolis hip-hop collective Doomtree eventually going on to help manage the groups business affairs as they launched their own label and members Lazerbeak and Paper Tiger lend their production to several tracks.
The players in Dessas live ensemble all contributed to the record, as did several top-flight Minneapolis musicians working in rock, folk, and opera. She even enlisted a cellist she found on Pandora to make the gorgeously-layered foundation of penultimate track Its Only Me.
Dessa, born and raised in Minneapolis after her parents met at a Duluth music store, was valedictorian of her high school, eventually skipping a year of college and graduating with honors before she could legally drink. Armed with a philosophy degree, the intrepid Midwesterner spent her nights as a waitress and days writing reference manuals used by doctors in the implantation of pacemakers.
Language and verbal communication were important in my family. If I could argue my way into a later curfew, that argument was entertained. My parents may have regretted that policy later but it was a great motivator to help me develop a facility with words.
A love of words is evident in both Parts of Speechs title and its ethos, as Dessas philosophy training surfaces too. The rousing chorus of Fighting Fish references the Greek philosophical paradox of Zenos Arrow. Beekeeper, polished up from a starker appearance on Castor, finds Greek god Prometheus repossessing fire from the humans. Sound the Bells sings of Mercator, the cartographical genius who pioneered flat maps of a round world.
Parts of Speech could be made by no one but Dessa, but in its evolution and awareness it is the perfect culmination of the journey started with 2010s A Badly Broken Code. Middle album Castor, The Twin was in many ways a blueprint for Speech. The earlier albums were praised widely for their focus and depth, but Speech shows a fantastic breadth.
By uniting a wealth of different tones and narratives under Dessas unmistakable poeticism, Parts of Speech greatly resembles Sherwood Andersons modernist fiction classic Winesburg, Ohio. Dessa creates a new world, populating it with complex characters, beautiful sonic landscapes and refreshing, assertive production.
An album that can boom out of a car window after its summer release, or soundtrack a November night in, Parts of Speech marks a highpoint in Dessas career and demonstrates the crossover power of the rising stars burgeoning arsenal.

European e-waste arrives illegally in Nigeria to be sold as "second hand goods".
The undercover operation, carried out with the help of Sky Television, is further evidence of the growing trade in hazardous waste from Europe to the developing world due to electronic companies' failure to take responsibility for recycling their products.
Acting on a tip-off, we launched our operation to see just where some electronic waste was ending up. We took an unfixable TV, fitted it with a tracking device and brought it to the UK's Hampshire County Council for recycling. Instead of being safely dismantled in the UK or Europe, like it should have been, the Council's 'recycling' company, BJ Electronics, passed it on as 'second-hand goods' and it was shipped off to Nigeria to be sold or scrapped and dumped.
It's illegal to export broken electronic goods under EU legislation - at no point before it was crammed into a container with similar TVs and shipped off was the TV turned on or tested to see if it was in working condition. We followed the complete e-waste trafficking route by hiding a tracking device inside the TV that provided location updates via GPS.
Read more about how exactly we tracked the TV all the way to Nigeria.
Nigeria, like Ghana, Pakistan, India and China, is just one of many destinations that Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea and other developed countries are using as toxic e-waste dumping grounds. For years, we've been exposing the mountains of e-waste that show up on the doorstep of developing countries at the expense of people and the environment. The poorest people, in many cases children, are put to work breaking apart TVs, mobile phones, game consoles and other electronic items that arrive in their tonnes. With no safety measures, they are exposed to highly toxic chemicals, including mercury, which damages the brain; lead, which can damage reproductive systems; and cadmium, which causes kidney damage.
For the first time we were able to track the e-waste from door to door, exposing the loopholes in recycling programmes that allow illicit profits to be made by the developed world's traders by dumping their obsolete and hazardous electronics abroad instead of properly recycling them. Thousands of old electronic goods and components leave the EU for Africa every day, despite regulations prohibiting the trade in e-waste. Some will be repaired and reused, but many are beyond repair, meaning that they will eventually be dumped in places where no facilities exist for safe recycling.
Companies can stop this illegal toxic trade now by making sure their goods are free from hazardous components. We need them to take full responsibility for the safe recycling of their products and put an end to the growing e-waste dumps that poison people and the environment across the developing world. We need companies to introduce voluntary take-back schemes and remove hazardous substances from their products so they can be recycled safely and easily.
Despite the growing evidence of the harm caused by toxic e-waste, many companies are still failing to prioritise the removal of toxic chemicals and delaying taking full responsibility for their products.
Check out the coverage of the undercover investigation at The Independent.
This undercover investigation would not be possible without your support. Please give what you can to make sure that we can continue to investigate the crimes that threaten the planet.

Okay, so I haven't been on here very long and I know MOST of us here really do like the line. I hate having to read about every negative thing about every new revelation in the line though, so how about we have a post that follows all the news and does it in a generally positive and appreciative way. Complaints (and yes, I've had some) can go in other threads.
I'll start.
Just about everything shown at the art show this Friday was amazing. I'm glad they've added the extra Evil Lyn accessories, and am especially looking forward to Optikk, as I really never payed attention to NA when it was on, and it's like a whole new figure added to the lore for me. Also, I'm trying to figure out what other characters can be made using his parts. Any ideas from those more familiar with NA?

There are very few things more delicious to me than perfectly roasted vegetables. Roasting brings out so much flavor, and the texture is unparalleled, from the crispy, caramelized outer layer, to the warm, soft section underneath. So when I saw these little heads of pak choi at the farmer's market last week, I knew immediately what I was going to do with them.
Pak choi is a close relative of bok choi, which I have very fond memories of. When I was in China this summer, most of the restaurants had English menus, but the English on the menus varied in quality. Sometimes the dish was called "seasoned vegetable," without specifying which seasoning, or which vegetable, was involved. Other times, there was a header for "Vegetables" in English, followed by several options for vegetable dishes… in Chinese. I don't read or speak Chinese, so my usual strategy was to pick an option randomly, and just hope for the best. I ended up with a lot of bok choi.
But that was ok with me. Bok choi is healthy, versatile, and an excellent base to for delicious sauces (and mystery seasonings). These were fantastic roasted, but I easily could have sauteed them, or even sliced them raw into a salad. I hope I find these at the farmer's market again, because they were absolutely wonderful.
6 heads pak choi (can substitute 3 heads baby bok choi, halved)
Olive Oil
Coarse sea salt
Ground black pepper
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Wash pak choi. Place on baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
3. Roast pak choi for 7-8 minutes, or until leaves are wilted and caramelized and the bulbs are cooked, but still have some crunch (mine were perfectly done at 8 minutes, but my oven may not have been fully preheated when I put them in).
Serves 2-3 as a side dish.

When to Use Subclassing in iPad App Development
Subclassing is one of the mechanisms you use to customize behaviors while you're developing your iPad application. Subclassing involves two stages: (1) creating a new class, called a subclass, that inherits properties from another (super) class and then (2) adding properties as needed for your iPad application. In general, you'll want to subclass
UIView, to create your (more complex) content views, which you may fill with controls, graphics, or the like.

British banks trading in
The Americans have also contacted a whole range of international banks trading in and from
These warnings do not simply accommodate US dollar-based transactions, but include any dealings of any kind, and in any currency. They are unequivocal; do business with
These warnings have had very serious implications for those Iranian banks which operate in London, some of which are in fact British institutions, and who having been in business here for many years, are regulated by the FSA.
Quite what right the Americans have to tell British banks who they may do business with is not clear, and to threaten them that if they clear British Sterling transactions for Iranian banks, that they will subject them to Patriot Act interdictions in the US, should be a matter of significant concern to the British Government, if for no other reason than it would seem to be a direct contradiction of the much-publicised 'special relationship' which we are supposed to enjoy with them.
And what has been the response from H.M Government to this news?
It can be best expressed as 'studied indifference'!
It seems that the British Government under Tony Blair was not only willing to be George Bush's tame poodle abroad, but was also quite content to stand by and do nothing while Bush's agents swaggered around the City of London, threatening our banks with dire consequences if they continued with their lawful business.
Behind this scandalous scenario, lurks a hostile agenda, aimed directly at the commercial interests of

CIA
This most recent announcement however has not stopped some
Whatever the realities of these different situations, why should these issues be considered sufficient to permit America to dictate to British banking institutions how and where on the globe they should be allowed to exercise their right to do business, and why does H.M.Government remain silent?
In 2007, the United Nations issued a short and limited sanctions list aimed at specific entities and individuals in relation to the provision of arms and related 'materiel'. In the same notice, it continued to assert the rights of
The Bank of England has issued its own very short list of proscribed persons and entities against whom they determine that trading sanctions exist. Subject to these provisions, British Banks are free to do business with whomsoever they decide.
When the Americans first alleged that Bank Saderat's London entity was responsible for moving money to Hezbollah in Beirut, the bank's management wrote first to the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), completely refuting the allegations in their entirety but asking for any evidence of such payments to be shared with them so that the bank could check the veracity of their compliance requirements.
At the same time, the Bank instructed a leading British Accounting Consulting firm to undertake a complete review of all payments they had made to their Beirut branches to ascertain the truth or otherwise of the allegations.
Bank Saderat plc did everything they could to determine the truth or falsity of these allegations made by the Americans, but despite all their enquiries and investigations, they were unable to identify any payments at all which were not made to established payment accounts in their

This can be construed as nothing more than a unilateral campaign of economic sabotage and criminal disinformation, aimed at causing the highest level of financial damage to the Iranian economy with the ambition of bringing significant pressure on the Iranian people. Very sadly, these efforts have been working, and a large number of banks have acted in response to these threats. Clearly, they have taken the

Last week, while in Kuwait I spoke to a US Customs agent who in a series of dismissive asides, stated that it was the determined policy of the present US Administration to put such economic pressure on the Iranian people so that it would encourage a popular uprising among the people, with the ambition that they would overthrow the present Iranian government.
After its efforts to ascertain any evidence which could point at a failure within its own compliance procedures, Bank Saderat sought the support of the BBA who subsequently wrote to the UK Treasury, setting out a series of concerns they had identified which were having direct impacts upon Iranian banks in

The BBA's letter identified the egregious nature of what it called the 'informal' actions of US Treasury Officials, striking at the heart of what
The BBA called for evidence, if it existed, to be produced by the USA, and called upon HM Government to provide more pro-active expressions of support for Iranian banks and to move from a stance which both the FSA and the Bank of England appeared to be adopting, of what was described as 'studied neutrality'.
The BBA called for a meeting with officials to discuss these concerns!
And the response from H.M.Treasury?
An arrogant and dismissive 3-paragraph letter from Ed Balls who was Economic Secretary to the Treasury at the time, which wholly ignored all the points in the requests being made by the BBA for discussions.
The first paragraph contained a series of worthless platitudes about the Government and the banking sector working together to protect the City from illicit money flows, an issue which had not been addressed by the BBA because it was not germane; a paragraph which made an wholly irrelevant referral to the UN Resolution 1737, which again, was not part of the issues raised by BBA, because again, it was not germane; and finishing with a patronizing comment about the need for banks to make their own commercial judgements about whom they do business with.
Clearly, Balls, and those who advised him, thought that unlawful US threats to British banks and their commercial interests were not worthy of comment, and merely fell among the ordinary and relevant information which financial institutions should take into account when deciding with whom they could do business!
The British Government has so effectively sold the pass to the Bush Administration, that they can no longer be bothered to protect those commercial interests, nationally valued rights which once would have guaranteed a very stern riposte indeed. The New Labour Government has poodled so effectively that they will now stand, idly by, wagging their tail, while Bush's Treasury attack dogs force their will on the international banking sector with impunity.
The true measure of a genuine friendship is that one friend can tell the other when they are behaving wrongly or in an improper way, without the information causing a rift in the relationship. It is about time that H.M.Government started to stand up to their

Obtain Top Load Washer Tub capacityWhat is the Whirlpool Top Load Washer WTW5500XL0 tub capacity?
Tub Capacity as per Manufacturer Specifications (in cubic feet):
The manufacturers began using cubic feet capacity numbers only recently. Previously, they used relative terms such as "Large" or "Extra Capacity" or laundry weight (e.g. "16 lbs per load") which did not take into account different fabric weight and volume. Others referred to capacity in terms of water used. Even washers available today do not have capacity written in the manual because the same manual can be used across multiple models. Once the washer is no longer sold, the sales literature is discarded and capacity information often lost.
Analyzing washers and their components, searching through old technical information and sales literature, and determining their capacity is a labor intensive and time-consuming task and we are far from finished. A small charge will help us continue our research.
Consider this: if you were to spend more than few minutes looking for tub capacity on the internet, you would be earning LESS than minimum wage.
Calculate Top Load Washer Tub capacity
This is a geometric method to calculate tub capacity based on the cylinder volume formula. Unfortunately, the value could be as much as 25% off from the manufacturer stated capacity.
Why? Because the tub is not exactly a cylinder. The edge where bottom connected to the wall is not at 90 degree angle but smooth and rounded. The water line is not clearly marked and the bottom is not always flat. Finally, an agitator also takes capacity away from the tub.
This method can be used as a crude estimate but we do not recommend using it for comparisson when shopping for a new washer.
Determine your top load washer tub capacity by taking two simple measurements:
1. Use the ruler to measure the depth of the tub (indicated by the red line on the diagram)
2. Now find the distance accross the tub, the diameter (the green line on the diagram). Note that some tubs are narrow on top. In this case make the measurements INSIDE the tub.
Solution:Tub Depth: in. Tub Diameter: in.
Answer:The Whirlpool Top Load Washer WTW5500XL0 tub capacity is ... cubic feet.

The real question was: A proton is trapped in an infinitely deep well of 1*10^-14m. I suppose that is unimportant as that should only help us decided the limits of our integration. What I'm worried about is the second part of the question. "The proton is in the first excited state." Does "The proton being in the first excited state" have some effect on the wavefunction or the question? Or for any probability required should I just find the integral of the wavefunction of a free particle over what ever limits they ask for? For examples. Calculate the probability of finding the proton within 0.25*10^-14m of the left hand wall. Which would give us an integral between say (0... and 0.25*...) or to be more specific (0.25*... and 1*10...). The question also asked for the wavelength of the photon emitted if the proton returns to the ground state. [these are past paper questions I'm working on in preparation for a final so I have no solutions or help *:(*]

Subscribe To Little Children's Todd Field Will Next Adapt Jess Walter's Romance Novel Beautiful Ruins Updates
I've already subscribed
The joy of most novels is in the trip the author takes the reader's imagination on, allowing a string of words to substitute for locations and emotions, pulling characters from one writer's mind into everyone else's. Assuming it's a good novel, of course. And even though Jess Walter's years-spanning romance Beautiful Ruins hasn't been out all that long, it has gotten overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics everywhere. So that means it will never get a cinematic adaptation, right? Of course not!
Thanks to Coming Soon, we now know that Todd Field will be making Beautiful Ruins his next feature, teaming up with Cross Creek Pictures co-founders Brian Oliver and Tyler Thompson. Smuggler Films, run by Patrick Milling Smith and Brian Carmody, will also be producing. Field, the screenwriter for all of his past features, will be co-scripting with Walter himself.
Field has been quiet for a while now, not directing anything since his second feature, 2006's Little Children, which took its own time in following 2001's In the Bedroom. For the last couple of years, Field has had an adaptation of the novel The Creed of Violence in his sights, but it seems to be in constant pre-production mode. Incidentally, another of Walter's books, The Financial Lives of the Poets, has also been passed around for a while now under the name Bailout, last attracting Jack Black to the project, though that may have fallen through.
Beautiful Ruins seems like a tough thing to film, as it starts off on the Italian coast in the early 1960s, set around the productions of Cleopatra and La Dolce Vita, and follows three characters as their paths continue to cross for the next fifty years, taking them to Edinburgh and Hollywood along the way. Expect some weird CGI make-up effects.

Well it turns out my first surge of confidence in my manuscript waned quite a bit. I had every intention of querying last week after tightening my first chapter, but it took me a while to get it how I wanted it. Then I thought I better re-read everything, you know, just in case. I only finished 141 pages out of 395 and I'm now approaching the dreaded middle. Authors have been known to get lost in there...I'm hoping to get through it without too much added stress and hardship-lol!
Anyway, I want to be sure that everything I write is the best I can possibly do. The collection of "no's", though small, still stings, and the perfectionist in me is striving for more than good enough.
If you have similiar hopes for a YA novel you wrote (or are still toying with), I may be able to help you get ready for that almighty plunge.
- Follow a blogger who is also an agent. You will get advice on query letters and other useful tidbits concerning that first novel. I have one such blog for you: Kristen Nelson of the Nelson Agency and her very helpful and kind-hearted blog Pub Rants. You can't help but get a warm comfortable feeling when you visit.
- Or find a blogger who offers help where you need it the most-your writing. Miss Snark's First Victim is one such blog. Now don't let the name of her site fool you-she is a fellow writer and anything but nasty. She offers insight to your writing in a non-threatening manner through critiques and contests each month. She is currently one of three blogs advertising a constest starting at 8 AM August 31: Teen Eyes Editorial is the host of this one, and the premise-see if your query (Miss Snark's site), 35 word pitch (Brenda Drake Writes) , or first page(Mother. Write. (Repeat)) of your New Adult, YA, or Middle Grade manuscript has what it takes to hook a teenage reader. Winners of each will be granted various editing free bees from the very talented young editors of Teen Eyes. What better way to check out how you stand? And the best part-the contest is open to finished as well as WIP manuscripts, so what are you waiting for? The links to all three contests can be found on Miss Snark's and the other two sites, as well as information about the three editors. You can enter all three contests if you wish, so polish up and enter tomorrow morning!

Before you start, you should know that this entire hat is oversized, not just the pompom. I made it so that someone with lots of hair or, say, dreads could wear it. If you want it smaller, just skip one increase row (which will also make it a little shorter) and maybe adjust the earflaps so they start with 7 sts instead of 9.
I used Sandnes Canto for this, which is a super bulky yarn (although thick and
thin, so the gauge varies). 4 balls were needed, 3 dark purple and 1 lilac
(that's including the pompom, it takes a whole ball of yarn). Each ball contains about 35m of yarn.
Hook: 9mm
Gauge: 9 sts = 10cm/4" in dc.
Dc 10 in second loop from hook
Round 1: Ch 2. Increase in each st around. Join to first dc. (20 sts)
Round 2: Ch 2. 1 dc in same st as ch2. *Dc 1, increase in next st* Repeat
around. Join to first dc. (30 sts)
Round 3: Ch 2. 1 dc in same st as ch2. *Dc 2, increase in next st* Repeat
around. Join to first dc. (40 sts)
Round 4: Ch 2. 1 dc in same st as ch2. *Dc 3, increase in next st* Repeat
around. Join to first dc. (50 sts)
Rounds 5-9: Work even.
Fasten off.
Find the center stitch on each side of the hat.
On one side of hat, count 4 sts to each side of center stitch, 9 sts in all
Row 1: Join yarn, and dc in each of the 9 marked sts. Ch2, turn (9 sts - I
don't count the ch2 as a stitch here)
Row 2: Dc in each st. Ch2, turn (9 sts)
Row 3: Dc2tog, dc5, dc2tog. Ch2, turn (7sts)
Row 4: Dc2tog, dc3, dc2tog
Row 5: Dc2tog, dc1, dc2tog
Fasten off.
Repeat for the other earflap.
After both earflaps are done, join your contrast yarn in the middle back.
Sc around the entire bottom edge. Join with sl st, fasten off.
Weave in ends.
Attach 3 double strands of yarn, as long as you want (1 lilac, 2 dark purple)
to bottom middle stitch of each earflap and make 1 braid on each side.
Make ridiculously large pompom. Anchor it well, the wind might want a piece of
this one ;)
Please don't copy this pattern to other websites - provide a link to it instead. Thank you.

Will you allow the earth to nurture you through its contribution? Will you nurture the earth with your willingness to receive the magic it offers you every single day?
We live on a beautiful planet that provides for our every need, and thrives beyond our capacity to diminish, destroy or control it. What world could we create if we acknowledged the gift that the earth is to us every day? Could we continue to live in despair, trauma, drama and a sense of 'lack' when we tap into the consciousness of the planet and what it is offering us? Would we make our daily problems more real than our capacity to create beyond our wildest dreams?
The earth functions from consciousness, from the oneness that is and from no separation between it, and it's inhabitants. We however take every opportunity to separate from the essence of our being so we can dive into our thoughts, feelings and emotions that keep us in the roundabout called this reality. Do you ever notice the animals or wildlife doing that? No. If a patch of land is left uncovered for any period of time, something will grow on it. The planet is constantly moving and changing with the ebb and flow of energy that is created and generated upon it. What would it be like if we danced with it? What reality might we have access to that has never existed on planet earth before?
We are at a time in history where there has been the least amount of change for thousands of years, as a human race we have worked hard to keep things as they are and to muffle the subtle shifts in energy of the earth. Our planet is now changing whether we like it or not. Are you going to thrive with it? Now is the time.
Guest Blog Post by Gary Douglas
Have you ever had a conversation with the earth? And not one of those conversations where you randomly notice the beauty around you, which is great yet can be short lived, but a deep communion where you and the earth get to know each other in more magical ways than ever before.
Would you like to have that kind of communion with the earth? What if the earth has been asking for your awareness and your energy? What could change if you would acknowledge that the earth is waiting for you to know it as well as for it to know you?
Someone asked me what The Earth Class is about. I gave them three questions to explore.
"What do you know about the earth?"
"What does the earth know about you?"
"What can the earth gift you that you're not willing to receive?"

New York's Puerto Rican community is upset that a logo on a Coors Light beer can appears to feature their island flag.
Coors is a sponsor of the city's annual Puerto Rican Day Parade, which will be held on Fifth Avenue on June 9.
"To have your nation's flag depicted on a beer can is outrageous," said Vincent Torres, a community organizer for Boricuas for a Positive Image. "It sends the message that Puerto Ricans are good for getting drunk, that's all we're good for, we're not good for anything else."
The image, first reported by DNAinfo shows a red and white striped apple, with a white star surrounded by blue, similar to the flag. The logo is surrounded by the phrase "National Puerto Rican Day Parade Inc."
One of the themes of the parade this year is "salud," or celebrating your health.
The National Institute for Latino Policy said that associating the Puerto Rican flag with Coors Light is "egregious." According to the National Institute of Health, Puerto Ricans struggle with high rates of alcoholism.
"It's disrespectful and it's not a good fit," East Harlem Councilwoman Melissa Mark-Viverito told DNAinfo. "When you are talking about a flag and what it represents, being linked to an alcoholic beverage is not reflective of what our culture symbolizes."
The National Puerto Rican Day Parade denied the image was intended to represent the Puerto Rican flag or the parade's logo.
Coors said it demonstrated its official alliance and support of the organization.
"We've included a variation of the official National Puerto Rican Day Parade logo on our packaging, which incorporates an apple to symbolize New York, a star and red and blue colors as a demonstration of our official alliance and support of the organization," MillerCoors said in a statement.

NEW YORK – Shia LaBeouf and Alec Baldwin never ended up sharing a Broadway stage as planned last year, but real-life dramatics landed both of them Thursday in a distinctly less celebrated venue: Manhattan criminal courts.
Story continues below
Shia LaBeouf kicked out of Broadway show for causing disturbance
Alec Baldwin tweets anger after arrest in New York
Both stars appeared in courtrooms a few blocks apart for separate disorderly conduct cases. LaBeouf is charged with disrupting a Broadway performance, while Baldwin was accused of getting belligerent with police who said they stopped him for riding a bicycle the wrong way down a one-way street.
Their shared court date was just a coincidence, but it paired stars who have become known for acting up, not just for acting.
"Looks like you have a short fuse," Manhattan Criminal Court Judge John DeLury told Baldwin while looking over the allegations against him; they're violations, not crimes. After Baldwin repeatedly said he'd pay a fine for the May 13 encounter — though the judge said he was just asking for an apology — DeLury put the case on track to be dismissed if the actor avoids re-arrest for six months. It's a common outcome for low-level cases in Manhattan.
"Can you stay out of trouble, Alexander?" DeLury asked.
"Sure, sure," Baldwin said.
"Be a good boy from now on. Have a good day!"
Meanwhile, LaBeouf's lawyer and prosecutors said they were trying to resolve his case. He's accused in court papers of playing a boorish role in the audience at "Cabaret" last month, smoking cigarettes, yelling at the actors onstage, and swearing at security guards and hollering as he was escorted out: "Do you know who I am?"
The actor, whose publicist has said the episode stemmed from an alcohol problem and that LaBeouf has since gotten treatment, stood solemnly before a judge during the brief appearance. He and his lawyer, G. Robert Gage, declined to comment as they left court amid a swarm of cameras and microphones. LaBeouf is due back in court in September.
LaBeouf, 28, and Baldwin, 56, were slated to co-star last year in a revival of Lyle Kessler's play Orphans, but LaBeouf pulled out over creative disagreements — and then publicly tweeted private emails from Baldwin and others involved in the show. ("Sorry for my part of a dis-agreeable situation," LaBeouf wrote to Baldwin in one message; Baldwin apparently wrote back: "I don't have an unkind word to say about you. You have my word.")
Best known for starting in the first three Transformers movies, LaBeouf has made headlines for his off-screen behaviour in the past year.
He apologized this winter for borrowing the story line and dialogue for a short film from a graphic novel writer. In February, he walked out of a Berlin Film Festival news conference for the movie Nymphomaniac Volume I and then wore a paper bag — emblazoned with "I am not famous anymore" — over his head at the red carpet premiere.
Baldwin, whose career has included Emmy Awards for 30 Rock and Oscar and Tony nominations, has developed an ornery reputation in real life.
A voicemail of him berating daughter Ireland Baldwin came to light in 2007 (he later said the message horrified him), he was kicked off a plane in 2011 after refusing to stop playing a cellphone game, and he's had a series of run-ins with news photographers. After using an anti-gay slur in one such encounter last fall, he was suspended from his ultimately short-lived MSNBC show; Baldwin apologized and said he hadn't meant to offend anyone.
In February, Baldwin wrote a New York magazine cover story decrying tabloid coverage of his comings-and-goings in New York City, saying he probably needs to move elsewhere.

Pledge allegiance and you'll know roughly where your heart is. Run fast and you can feel it working. But when it comes to keeping your heart healthy, the details aren't quite as obvious. It helps to know that your heart is part of a larger system — the cardiovascular network of arteries, veins and capillaries that run throughout your body and carry blood (and with it, oxygen and nutrients) to your organs, muscles and bones. Running through this system is a single cell layer called the endothelium; keeping this layer as free as possible from inflammation and plaque buildup is critical to your heart health; it helps to prevent coronary artery disease, heart attack and stroke.
To keep your endothelium and entire cardiovascular system in optimal condition, first and foremost, don't smoke or use tobacco products. Need to quit? Speak to your doctor about the cessation program that's right for you.
Just as important, though, is the rest of your lifestyle — following a diet low in saturated fat and rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes and heart-healthy fats; managing stress; and engaging in regular exercise. These three elements are so critical to remaining free of heart disease that Steven Nissen, MD, chief of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, wrote in the Healthy Heart Lifestyle Guide and Cookbook: "If every American followed [this lifestyle], some marvelous things would happen. Heart disease would be reduced dramatically. Diabetes would diminish to manageable proportions. Whole wings of our hospitals would be shut down. I, and most of my colleagues, could be thrown out onto the streets, unemployed. It would be the happiest day of my life."

Bernanke Looks to Sharpen Message to Markets Today
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has turned out to be a pretty good communicator, but he and his colleagues have confused the markets lately. David Wessel previews the options Bernanke has in advance of the Fed's Wednesday decision.

... the the ... boarding welcome to the new sub I'm Rolfe Winkler the latest meeting of the Federal Reserve board wraps up today ... and investors are anxiously wondering if they'll get any sign that Ben Bernanke and company will stop the Pring prices anytime soon ... whatever Mr. Rene Kyi decides to do he has to do a better job communicating his intentions that he has of late ... that's David Wessel Sardinia Ms Lees Outlook column he joins us now from Washington David good morning ... morning okay so ... what do you expect to come ... from the Fed meeting for school ... well I had to walk this afternoon that Washington time will get a statement from the Federal Open Market Committee ... that may or may not be any different in the statement they gave ... at the beginning of March and will also get their new ... economic forecasts ... most analysts expect some tweaking in the forecast isn't weak in the wording ... but no great clarity on the big question ... what will it take for the Fed ... to begin to reduce the size of its monthly purchases of bonds has been buying eighty five billion dollars a month in Treasury and mortgage backed securities ... for the past several months he'll probably keep doing that ... well what will it take ... while they have to see in the economy for it to pare back those bond by ... the end they still gets ... a clue that Mr. Draghi's press conference which begins into third okay so at what they have said ... with respect in a unique this this distinction you're calm that with respect to ... the bond buying specifically now with interest rates ... even a little clearer about though they'll take their cue from the unemployment rate dropping to six point five percent ... with the bond buying program you make the point that it's a little more confused as to as to what trigger they're looking for ... right then a very clear metric with interest rates and interest rates are kind of a very simple ... Instinet ... AG the gulls operate goes down and its measures and they have charts and graphs and they tell us when they expect to raise short-term interest rates ... and at least as of the March meeting the answer is not for a long time ... not until twenty fifteen not until unemployment gets down to six nap percent ... they don't have such a precise way of talking about ... this bond buying and that's the problem ... so they put a lot of phrases in their statements and in Mr burn Anqi has added some language in various Fed officials of added more aligned with ... and no one's quite sure what will it take for the Fed to begin to go from eighty five to seventy five ... to fifty and so forth ... and when that they expected and this extraordinary ... purchase of bonds which are designed to keep a long-term interest rates down and I'm sure one of my colleagues last Mr. burn Anqi that the press ... didn't detail ... you you another thing you mention when wasn't so long ago that ... the Fed ... still ITB in keeping margins on their toes fooling the markets and you can make a good argument that ... that keeps people from taking excessive risks for instance now ... at what is why is it so important today ... that we all know in advance exactly what the feds can do when they're gonna do it ... because once the Fed cut short-term interest rates to zero it needed to do something more to stimulate the economy ... and one of its tricks was ... to say no to the bond market the long and short demonstrates our baby low for very long time ... the hope that would leave long-term Ridge estate to stay down ... and make other press and other asset prices behave accordingly so communications about the future they call it forward guidance that the Fed is critically important ... once you hit the zero interest rate floor ... okay last question when you expect on bank to taper if ever ...

World Grand Prix stars in 'full bloom' in Ekaterinburg
Ekaterinburg, Russia, August 8, 2013 – Putting aside their volleyball rivalries for a few hours, the participating teams of the World Grand Prix in Ekaterinburg took part in a special event at the Kharitonov gardens.
The national teams from Cuba, Thailand and Russia, who were in Ekaterinburg to participate in the World Grand Prix, helped to create a garden with local school children.
It was a unique social event with an excellent turn out in spite of the weather. After all the hard work was done, the young gardeners were invited to take part in a workshop where they were given hands on experience with simple scientific experiments.

ApeX V2.0.0 Beta for Droid X
Requirements: Please follow the image below to find your upgrade path to ApeX 2.0.0. It goes from left to right.
Another way to tell if you need the kernel update is to check if you have the following kernel version. If you don't, then you need to update.
qgd748@il93lnxdroid09 #2
Additional Credits: I would like to especially thank kejar31 for teaching me his secret sauce technique for compiling AOSP apps for the Blur Framework. I'd like to thank jrummy16 and drod2169 for helping me on Gtalk and troubleshooting some issues, and _Mycahya_ for stepping up and undertaking the daunting task that is theming the Blur Dialer and Contacts!Code:As always, you must take responsibility for what you do to your own phone. I have created this ROM and tested it to the best of my ability. The instructions are written to make sure that users have success installing and using the ROM. However, if anything goes wrong and your phone is damaged or rendered useless, I do not take any responsibility.
Of course, credits to P3Droid, Team Black Hat, MyDroidWorld for the Gingerbread leaks, the CyanogenMod team for many of the apps, Google for many more apps, and all the nice brave people on Twitter for testing this for me, helping me squash bugs, and submitting beautiful wallpapers!
If I left anyone out, please let me know so I can properly credit you!
-Android 2.3.3 based on latest Gingerbread leak (4.5.591)
-Almost all apps replaced with AOSP/CM7 counterparts
-Stock Gingerbread Theme
-Bloat and Market apps removed
-Facebook for Android App syncs w/ Blur Contacts!
-DSP Manager (visual equalizer) for headphones, phone speaker, and BT
-MusicMod with gesture controls
-Dev Tools, Spare Parts, Terminal Emulator for fun tweakin'
-ApeX wallpaper gallery with user submitted wallpapers!
-Quadrant "Turbo" Mode for mad scores
-Blur mass restore script (if you must...)
poweroverwhelming : activate Quadrant "turbo" mode
restoreblur : Blur mass restore script -- run it for detailed instructions
sys : mount system r/w and r/o
Things to know:
-Nothing is broken functionality-wise if you don't flash part 2, but you will find many apps that aren't themed. This is done on purpose, because flashing the themed version on the initial boot causes major problems. Blame Motorola.
-Download Market apps yourself. Remember to go into account settings to enable Gmail sync
-If you ever do a factory reset, you must reinstall part 1 while still in recovery, or you will lose a lot of apps (including Settings!) DO NOT DO A FACTORY RESET WITHOUT REINSTALLING PART 1!
-On the first boot, choose Launcher and set it to default (don't click Setup)
-Don't add email accounts via 'My Accounts' ! Those links are left in there so the system does not break, but they don't work! Add accounts via the Email app directly!
-If you have a pattern unlock set up, it will bypass the slide unlock (no double unlocking). Please note that the default 'Security Lock Timer' is 20 mins, which IMO should be lowered (otherwise an unlock will go straight to the homescreen if it's within 20 mins of the last locking).
Installation Instructions:
WIPE DATA AND CACHE (unless you were an Alpha tester)
1. You must be on a Gingerbread based ROM. If not, see diagram above for the upgrade path from Froyo to Gingerbread.
2. If you are on .588 or below, install the kernel update while installing ApeX Part 1 (during the same Clockwork recovery session)
3. If you are on .591, install ApeX Part 1
4. After booting into ApeX once, you can install D2 Bootstrapper and install Part 2.

Martha Ellis Gellhorn, who as one of the first female war correspondents covered a dozen major conflicts in a writing career spanning more than six decades, died on Sunday at her home in London. She was 89.
Ms. Gellhorn was a cocky, raspy-voiced maverick who saw herself as a champion of ordinary people trapped in conflicts created by the rich and powerful. That she was known to many largely because of her marriage to Ernest Hemingway, from 1940 to 1945, caused her unending irritation, especially when critics tried to find parallels between her lean writing style and that of her more celebrated husband.
''Why should I be a footnote to somebody else's life?'' she bitterly asked in an interview, pointing out that she had written two novels before meeting Hemingway and continued writing for almost a half-century after leaving him.
As a journalist, Ms. Gellhorn had no use for the notion of objectivity. The chief point of going to cover anything, she felt, was so you could tell what you saw, contradict the lies and let the bad guys have it.
''You go into a hospital, and it's full of wounded kids,'' she once said. ''So you write what you see and how it is. You don't say there's 37 wounded children in this hospital, but maybe there's 38 wounded children on the other side. You write what you see.''
Though best known for her groundbreaking journalism, Ms. Gellhorn was also an accomplished fiction writer, author of 5 novels, 14 novellas and 2 collections of short stories, many of which were based on people and incidents she encountered during her prodigious travels.
Fresh out of Bryn Mawr College in 1927, she began writing for The New Republic, then became a crime reporter for a local newspaper in Albany. Ms. Gellhorn got to Europe by writing a brochure for the Holland American Line and traveled throughout the continent. Later, she met Harry Hopkins, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's confidant, and talked her way into a job with the New Deal, wandering America and writing about the effects of the Depression on ordinary people.
She went to Spain in 1937 with nothing but a knapsack and $50, covered the conflict for Collier's Weekly and became Hemingway's lover.
''In Barcelona, it was perfect bombing weather,'' she wrote in a typical dispatch in 1938. ''The cafes along the Ramblas were crowded. There was nothing much to drink; a sweet fizzy poison called orangeade and a horrible liquid supposed to be sherry. There was, of course, nothing to eat. Everyone was out enjoying the cold afternoon sunlight. No bombers had come over for at least two hours.''
She covered the blitz in London. On D-Day, she stowed away on a hospital ship and snuck ashore as a stretcher bearer. She got British pilots to let her ride along on night bombing raids over Germany. When the Allies liberated Dachau, she was there to write about it.
''Behind the barbed wire and the electric fence,'' she wrote of her visit to Dachau, ''the skeletons sat in the sun and searched themselves for lice. They have no age and no faces; they all look alike and like nothing you will ever see if you are lucky.''
She covered Russia's war against Finland in 1939, trekked across China with Hemingway in 1940, and became increasingly critical of the United States, which she saw as a ''colonial power,'' eventually settling abroad for good. She covered Vietnam, Nicaraguan contras, the Arab-Israeli conflict and, at the age of 81, the United States invasion of Panama. It was only when war came to Bosnia that she gave it a pass.
''Too old,'' she said. ''You have to be nimble for war.''
Ms. Gellhorn's war correspondence was collected in ''The Face of War'' in 1959. She always focused on ordinary foot soldiers and civilians, ignoring the generals. Her peacetime journalism was collected in ''The View From the Ground'' in 1988.
Among her novels were ''A Stricken Field'' (1940), set among refugees in Prague just before the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia, and ''Liana'' (1944), about the marriage of a mulatto woman and a rich white man in the French Caribbean.
Many reviewers felt Ms. Gellhorn was even more successful as a writer of novellas, and she was highly praised for ''The Weather in Africa'' (1988), three novellas set on that continent, and ''The Novellas of Martha Gellhorn'' (1993).
Ms. Gellhorn sometimes took criticism from political conservatives, who painted her as a left-leaning dilettante whose writing was often didactic and sentimental. Others criticized her vivid journalism as being, stylistically, too much like fiction and her terse fiction as being, stylistically, too much like journalism.
But her longevity and the compelling pull of her life story overrode such criticisms. A heroine to generations of young women correspondents for her fight to get equal treatment and a place on the front lines with male colleagues, she was also a romantic figure for her wartime relationship with one of the century's most famous writers and her subsequent rejection of him.
Ms. Gellhorn's father was a doctor in St. Louis with progressive notions and her mother, whom she adored, was a suffragist and social reformer who sometimes took her daughter with her to rallies and protests.
Her father pulled her out of a convent school when he discovered the nuns were teaching female anatomy with a textbook that had its pictures covered and transferred the girl to a progressive coeducational school of which her mother was a co-founder. Later, at Bryn Mawr, Ms. Gellhorn changed her major from English to French, which became useful for her journalistic work in Europe. In 1934, she was among a group of American students invited to tour Nazi Germany, and she never forgot her first encounter with Fascism. When she returned to the United States and was working for the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, she befriended Eleanor Roosevelt and spent some time, as the First Lady's guest, at the White House. She also wrote a collection of novellas about it, ''The Trouble I've Seen'' (1936).
Her first marriage, in 1933 to Bertrand de Jouvenel, a French pacifist who was the son-in-law of the novelist Colette, ended in divorce.
In 1936, she wandered into a bar in Key West, Fla., and met Hemingway. They drank, became friends and, the next year, when she showed up in Madrid, she picked up again with Hemingway and other war correspondents. She married the author in 1940, becoming his third wife.
They traveled and worked together, living between conflicts at a villa in Cuba. In 1945, Ms. Gellhorn left Hemingway, walking out after an argument at London's Dorchester Hotel. She was the only one of Hemingway's wives to leave him, and he never forgave her. ''His hatred of her was a terrible thing to see,'' one Hemingway biographer noted. She left, she said, because he was jealous and bullying.
Ms. Gellhorn's third marriage, to T. S. Matthews, an editor at Time magazine, also ended in divorce. She said she just found married life too boring.
After World War II, Ms. Gellhorn adopted a son in Italy and raised him, largely on her own, in Mexico and other countries, where she supported herself with a string of articles for women's magazines.
She is survived by her son, George Alexander Gellhorn of London, and a brother, Alfred Gellhorn of New York.
Ms. Gellhorn had decided that she could no longer live in the United States, and moved from Cuba to Italy to Mexico to Kenya until finally settling in Britain, where she spent her last 15 years shuttling between a small cottage in Wales, an apartment in London and the world's trouble spots. Her South Kensington apartment became a kind of salon for writers and foreign correspondents.
Bill Buford, the fiction editor at The New Yorker who was previously the editor of Granta, an English literary magazine, wrote about Ms. Gellhorn and her work: ''Reading Martha Gellhorn for the first time is a staggering experience. She is not a travel writer or a journalist or a novelist. She is all of these, and one of the most eloquent witnesses of the 20th century.''
She also wrote a highly regarded travel book in 1979, ''Travels With Myself and Another,'' that was an often humorous recounting of some of her more uncomfortable jaunts to remote corners of the globe, some with Hemingway, whom she referred to only as Unwilling Companion.
Her first love continued to be a crusading brand of nonfiction. ''Journalism is education for me,'' she wrote. ''Writing is payment for the chance to look and learn.''
She wrote on an old, battered typewriter and had to quit in 1992 when a cataract operation left her with diminished eyesight. She could no longer see the keys and felt she was too old to learn how to dictate.
But she never lost her bite. She chain-smoked, drank and ate what she pleased. ''It bores me, all that health stuff,'' she said. She told one woman who came to interview her late in life that she had to stop. ''This conversation is so boring I think I'm going to faint,'' she said.
Ms. Gellhorn had little use for most war reporting after the Vietnam War, saying that the press' role in ending that conflict had taught military leaders a lesson.
''They realized the power of the press and have been controlling it ever since,'' she said. ''Look at the Gulf War. If you wanted to go out and say to a soldier, 'How is it, kid?,' you had to bring a minder so the kid says nothing.
''It seems to me that they feed war reporters at these ridiculous briefings in the ballroom of hotels miles from anywhere.'' The public, she said, needs to realize that it is not getting the full story.
Looking back on a life that was colorful enough for any novel or reportage, Ms. Gellhorn once confessed: ''I'm overprivileged. I've had a wonderful life. I didn't deserve it but I've had it.''

Hope Fades in Brazil for a World Cup Economic Boost
Amid Unfinished or Canceled Infrastructure Projects, Hopes Wane That Soccer Tournament Spending Could Spur Long-Term Growth
RIO DE JANEIRO—Not too long ago, Tarcísio Monteiro was so obsessed with World Cup soccer he bought a plastic World Cup trophy for his room in a cramped Rio de Janeiro slum.
Now that Brazil is hosting the event, he has become so angry about the money being spent that he joined mass protests against it. He bought goggles for the tear gas and hung them near his trophy.
