Cooling Scarf Free Sewing Project
Summertime Scarf
Imagine chilling out on a sweltering summer day with a moist cloth on the back of your neck. You can feel cool and look great wearing an attractive neck scarf filled with hidden water-soaked polymer crystals. The scarf is an easy, fast project made from readily available materials. Whip up several for guests at your next barbeque, or join a charity project and sew some for U.S. troops.
Nontoxic polyacrylamide granules, often called crystals, are concealed in the casing of a cotton neck scarf. When the scarf is soaked in water, the granules absorb the water, expand and turn into a crystalline gel. The cotton fabric absorbs the water from the gel, and then the water evaporates for a cooling effect. Scarves stay cool and moist for hours due to the polyacylamide's water-retaining properties.
The Elements
Make a scarf with lightweight, single-face tie ends or heartier, double-face ties. Single-face ties require hemming, but minimal turning. Double-face ties are narrower and require more turning but no hemming, and then conceal the fabric wrong side and the back of any embellishments. Cut the tie ends into points or curves, or create a unique shape.
Choose tightly woven 100% cotton fabric for its water-absorbing and cooling properties. Avoid loosely woven fabrics--the gel could seep through the loose weave. Scarves are worn wet, so select colorfast fabrics that won't bleed onto clothing or skin. Look for prints in popular motifs, such as red, white and blue for summer holidays, or sport themes for wearing to outdoor events.
Polyacrylamide is a super-absorbent, nontoxic polymer that was developed in the '60s to retain water in arid soil. Polyacrylamide holds up to 400 times its weight in water--one pound of polymer can hold up to 48 gallons of rainwater! Different forms of polymer are widely used in many industries and in numerous products, such as disposable diapers, hot and cold compresses, toothpaste, cosmetics and flower arrangements. The crystals are nontoxic, but they can create a fine dust. Wear a dust mask, gloves and safety glasses and remove contact lenses when handling the crystals. Wash hands after use. Choose medium-size crystals for best results. Granule size and water quality impact how well the crystals absorb water. Water with a high mineral content can impede water absorption. (See "Sources" to find out where to buy polyacrylamide crystals.)
Sew for the Troops
Many charities accept donations of cooling scarves to send to U.S. troops stationed overseas. The scarves protect soldiers from the extreme heat and desert conditions of the Middle East. Visit the following organizations' websites for exact specifications and shipping information.
Stitch a Sample
Experiment to determine the optimal amount of crystals per scarf by making a sample casing.
Cut a 4"x15" fabric strip. Fold the fabric in half lengthwise and stitch 1/2" from one short end and from the long cut edges. Pour a scant teaspoon of the crystals into the open end. Fold the open end 1/2" toward the wrong side; pin.
Submerge the casing upright in a tall container of water for 15 to 30 minutes. The casing should be plump after soaking, but not oozing. Using too many crystals or soaking too long may force the crystal gel through the fabric, making the fabric feel slimy. Adjust the crystal amount as needed to fill, but not over-fill, the casing.
Cooling Scarf Instructions
Cut a 4"x44" fabric strip for each scarf. Fold the strip in half widthwise, matching the short ends. Snip both long edges 7" (8") from the fold. The area between the snips will be the casing.
To create narrow-point tie ends (for single-face ties only), fold the stirp in half lengthwise and marke each end 1/4" from the fold. Mark the long raw edges 12" from each end. Using the ruler, draw aline connecting the marks. Cut on the lines through both layers.
To create curved- or angled-end ties, fold the strip half lengthwise and mark the long raw edge 2" from the end. Using the French curve (for curved-end ties) or the ruler (for angled-end ties), draw a line from the cut edge at the fold to the 2" mark. Cut on the line hrough both layers. Repeat for the remaining scarf end.
Single-Face Tie
Fold the strip in half lengthwise with right sides together and matching the snips. Using a medium-length stitch and 1/2" seam allowances, stitch between the marks to form the casing; clip the seam allowances at the marks to, but not through, the stitching. Press open the seam.
Stitch a 1/4" double hem on the scarf ends, or roll-hem the ends on a serger or sewing machine. Turn the scarf right side out, center the casing seam and press.
Create the casing by stitching across the scarf at one end of the casing seam. Using a teaspoon, carefully pour the crystals into the casing open end. To protect your machine and contain spills, work over a bowl, away from your sewing machine.
Close the casing by stitching across the scarft at the opposite end of the casing seam, pushing the crystals to the far casing end out of the needle area.
Double-Layer Tie Ends
Cut a 4"x44" fabric strip for each scarf. Embellish tie ends, if desired. These tie ends will be a bit stiffer than the single-layer ties.
Fold the strip in half lengthwise, right sides together, matching the casing marks. Using a medium straight stitch, sew a 1/2" seam along the raw edges, leaving a 3" opening outside of the casing area for turning and filling. Trim the corners; turn and press.
With the 3" opening at one end, stitch across the scarf 14 1/2" from the opposite scarf end.
Holding the opening end of the scarf upright, use a teaspoon to pour the crystals into the casing. Stitch across the scarf 14 1/2" from the upper end to close the casing, pushing the crystals to the far end of the casing, away from the needle. Whipstitch or machine edgestitch the opening closed.
TIP: Embellish scarves with embroidery designs, beading or trim for extra customization.
Soak the casing or the entire scarf in cold or ice water for 15 to 30 minutes, or until the crystals turn to gel; avoid over-soaking. Distribute the gel along the casing with your fingers. Lay the scarf on a hand towel to absorb any dripping water, then tie the scarf loosely around your neck. To keep the casing cool while wearing, roll it to redistribute the gel or dip it in cold water for a few minutes.
Refrigerate extra cooling scarves for breezeless humid days. When one scarf reaches body temperature, swap it for a cool one.
Store wet scarves in an open plastic bag, hang them to dry, or store them in the refrigerator. After several days of drying, the crystals will return to solid form.
Hand-wash crystal-filled scarves using a few drops of liquid detergent. Rinse well and hang to dry. Don't machine wash or dry. Press the tie ends if desired. Press the casing only after the gel has completely crystallized. Shake the crystals to one end of the casing to press the opposite end. Then flip and repeat. Don't iron the crystals or expose them to iron temperatures.
Scarves for Sale
Cooling scarves are a fast-selling product, especially at outdoor fairs. Follow these tips to easily stitch scarves to sell.
Sources for Polyacrylamide Crystals
Polyacrylamide crystals are available under many brand names. Look for them in the garden section of home-improvement centers, discound department stores, nurseries, or in the candle, fragrance or flower areas at craft stores. Check packaging for granule size and to verify there are no additives. Expect approximatesly 115 teaspoons per pound of medium-size granules.

Setting new standards in 2K mixing
Graco Introduces ProMix™ PD2K Positive Displacement Proportioner
Saves Customers up to 80% in Solvent and Mixed Material Waste
Graco introduces a new positive displacement proportioner, the ProMix PD2K. This breakthrough "State of the Art" proportioner mixes materials physically closer to the gun so the flush zone is significantly smaller than traditional systems. This allows end-users to use less paint, while reducing disposal costs. At the same time, it facilitates faster colour changes. Since the ProMix PD2k reduces the amount of mixed material in the system, it works well for short pot-life materials. It is also compatible with acid-based materials.
Exciting new technology
"The ProMix PD2K is an exciting new technology," said Marc Gijbels, Senior Product Marketing Manager for EMEA. "Our customers were looking for ways to increase efficiency in their plants. By moving the mixing point closer to the gun, it is possible to reduce solvent use and mixed material waste by up to 80 percent compared to traditional electronic proportioners." This makes the system more environment-friendly, as we can reduce the amount of mixed materials and solvents which consequently also reduce the VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emission levels.
The ProMix PD2K can run at very low flow rates thanks to its unique dose pump technology. Fluid flow rates and pressure levels are very stable and easy to control. With this feature on board, flow meters and / or fluid regulators are no longer required.
The ProMix PD2K Proportioner was developed using 100 percent positive displacement technology that produces accurate mix ratios (within 1 percent accuracy) and more consistent pump performance. As the ProMix PD2K can be equipped with either two or four dosing pumps, it can manage up to 30 colours and four catalysts. It also allows customers to proportion both epoxy and urethane using one system, rather than using multiple units to achieve the same result.
Very easy to set-up and maintain
"This proportioner is very easy to set up and maintain. It handles various inbound pressures and viscosities without touchy fine-tuning," said Gijbels. "And unlike gear pumps, the ProMix PD2K has positive displacement precision dosing pumps that do not require factory rebuilds and can be serviced in the field in less than 20 minutes."
Visionary New Product Award
The ProMix PD2K was awarded the Visionary New Product Award by the Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers (AWFS) at the AWFS Fair in July in the US. The award recognized Graco for its product innovation, quality and ingenuity in the Green/Environmental Category for its new ProMix PD2K Positive Displacement Proportioner. Winners were selected from 65 entries submitted by 48 companies.
Every other year, the AWFS® Visionary New Product Awards recognize creativity and innovation as well as leadership in green/environmental product development. Entries are evaluated on quality, production impact, practicality, innovation and user-friendliness. The panel of hand-selected judges represents various areas of the industry, including professional end-users, woodworkers and company owners.
The Visionary New Product Awards categories are:
Product Innovation
"I wanted the award to represent great visionaries throughout history, artists and inventors who saw beyond what was and offered the world ideas that changed it dramatically for the better. The people and companies who have entered these ideas are also visionaries, in their own right, and the products they've conceptualized and produced can have a tremendous impact on our industry. That is what the essence of this award is all about." said Archie Thompson from Spectrum Adhesives, the awards designer and current vice president of the AWFS board of directors.
By introducing this new high-tech electronic 2K proportioner, Graco again shows its capability of developing new 2K-3K proportioning technologies. This newly developed system does not replace the current standard 2K proportioners, but expands Graco's current line of 2K proportioners for finishing applications.

THE BASEBALL FIELD AT ROCKFORD High School in Rockford, Minnesota, had been a wasteland for years. The ground was cracked and dry, the surrounding area was practically devoid of grass, and what little grass existed was as shriveled as old husk.
Everyone knew what the problem was: the field had no irrigation system of its own. Only 1,000 feet away, the school's football field thrived, watered regularly by a conventionally wired system. But the school simply didn't have the budget to add the amount of wiring required to keep its baseball field properly irrigated. The most anyone could do for it was drag a small garden hose over and spray the pitcher's mound, but this had little to no effect.
Brian Fieldseth had played baseball on this very same field when he was in high school. He knew firsthand how difficult it was to round its rock-hard bases without losing his footing. So when his landscape company, Carefree Lawn and Sprinklers, was hired by the school to look for a solution, his investment in finding one was all the greater.
"The school had received a handful of bids for the project," says Fieldseth, "but most of those bidders came in and looked at it the traditional way. They were thinking in terms of multi-wire systems. When I came in to take a look, the first thing that popped up in my head was 2-wire."
The big difference between multi-wire and 2-wire systems, especially when it comes to clients' budgets, is the amount of wire used. A traditional multi-wire system will use a single "ground" wire to connect a group of valves to a controller; then it will run separate wires from the controller to each and every valve. So for a large site made up of, say, 50 valves each at a distance of 500 feet from the controller, this means the contractor would have to lay 50 wires that are 500 feet in length, plus the ground wire. A system like this can be astonishingly pricey, particularly now as the price of copper in the wire continues to soar.
On the other hand, 2-wire cuts back drastically on the amount of wiring needed, running just a single pair of wires from the controller to the first valve. That pair of wires will then run from the first valve to the second valve, from the second valve to the third valve and so on. With only two wires as opposed to many, 2-wire is a practical route for anyone looking to keep things simple and cost effective.
In the case of Rockford High School, Fieldseth had to find a way to add a 2-wire path to the existing multi-wire system if he wanted to accommodate the school's budget. He installed a major brand-name controller and added Underhill's 2Wire decoders. His team ran a 2- wire path from the controller into the baseball field itself, trenching the ground in order to install the wire. "The multi-wire path that was already there ran from the controller to the football field and the new 2-wire path went from the controller to the baseball field," says Fieldseth. "We ended up saving the client a boatload of money right off the bat."
By adding Underhill's decoder module into the controller and then adding 2Wire decoders to each valve in the baseball field to receive and implement instructions to turn the sprinklers on, Fieldseth expanded the school's irrigation system and gave its baseball field the life it had needed for so many years. These days, students are eager to run from base to base on the field's moist, healthy soil.
"The beauty of our decoders is that they can be retrofitted into most of the major brand professional controllers," says Ed Underhill, president of Underhill International. "With budgets getting tighter, we have an opportunity to solve irrigation problems with 2- wire systems."
"It's like a whole new field," says Fieldseth. "I just wish we'd had it irrigated when I was going to school there."

Stress testing processes and results can help financial institutions refine risk strategies.
Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) frameworks have, in less than a decade, become an essential tool for financial institutions. And now this evolution is coming full circle, as firms work to integrate CCAR analyses into enterprise risk appetite, capital and performance management strategies. Initially, stress testing performance metrics were not aligned with corporate strategy in these areas—but that is changing, as firms strive to capture efficiency gains and boost return on investment.
Aligned decision-making processes, a common set of key performance indicators (KPIs) and integrated monitoring, analytics and reporting are all essential in helping the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Risk Officer shape an institution's risk profile and financial performance to meet regulators' expectations. Stress testing processes and results can help cultivate and refine these resources, and also support enterprise-wide management of balance sheet and capital actions.
When an integrated approach is working, a financial institution's capital needs are linked to its strategic plan and to its risk appetite targets.
In an integrated state, there is no need for institutions to view their risk and capital management programs as separate efforts. Instead, they can explore ways to strategically integrate these programs. While the processes for CCAR and economic capital management follow different paths, they can be bridged.
The framework requirements for CCAR focus on providing and consolidating end-to-end data, methodology and forecasting components from all lines of business (LOBs) and relevant functions across the enterprise. Capital forecasts for portfolios, LOBs and for the enterprise are based on the institution's business and risk strategy, tested under stressed conditions.
Economic capital processes, by contrast, exclude such stressed forecasts, with planning typically housed within a centralized operating model. Results do not provide insights into the consequences of specific stress scenarios or events.
CCAR stress tests and scenario analysis at the LOB and enterprise level can complement economic capital results—for a more holistic view of capital and risk appetite impact.
Growth strategies and corporate RA that impact the availability and deployment of capital
Business plans linked to capital strategies including capital allocation, risk-adjusted performance and incentives
Dynamic monitoring and recalibration of RA targets and thresholds
Identification and assessment of all material risks
Risk management policies and procedures linked to capital adequacy levels
Stress scenarios that impact liquidity, capital access and funding requirements
Dynamic management of balance sheet composition for risk-weighted assets improvement and resilience to external shocks
Determining "strategic buyer" capital levels accounting for cyclicality
Enhanced asset-liability management (ALM) capabilities linked to stress scenarios
Improvement in the sources vs. uses of funds and capital targets formulation
Refinement of capital distribution plans (dividends, repurchases)
Capital contingency plans, KRIs and triggers
The intense focus on CCAR framework requirements in the post-crisis era has overshadowed the importance of sound economic capital management practices and past achievements.
Now it's time for these areas to converge. To accomplish this, the offices of the CEO, the CFO and the CRO should collaborate in instituting an integrated framework, accounting for the strengths and limitations of previously separate and stand-alone capital planning approaches. When they are combined, CCAR and economic capital can realize significant improvements in risk and capital management.

Clutter is Good for Intel's Moblin Linux
2008-10-29 Intel 9 Comments
With Moblin 2.0, Intel is integrating in an open source technology called Clutter. Clutter is an open source animation framework that allows for the development of applications in the same way you would develop games. The underlying complexity is abstracted such that intricate UI can be built with a minimum of code. "Because it's developed like a game engine, all the graphics happen on the GPU, freeing up CPU do to application work," he said. "When combing with Atom and the various GPU's we use in Moblin supported platforms, you end up with advanced UI platforms. We really think it will create a huge opportunity for application innovation on top of Moblin."

On Wednesday, Brian Ching and Kroger honored the eight members of the Houston community who were chosen as Ching's Champions. The Ching's Champions initiative was started by Ching and Kroger as a way to pay tribute to those members of the Houston community who are perfoming selfless acts and asking for little in return.
Ching and Kroger selected the eight champions from the group of nominees. Each winner received a Ching's Champions medal and a four-minute shopping spree at Kroger. In total, the eight teams collected more than $7,700 worth of groceries.

Well…sometimes a week just swallows you whole! Here's what's been going down over the past few days:
daily word: These verses have been near and dear this week, Philippians 2:14-16:
"Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Hold firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ's return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless."
daily sweat: A little CrossFit here, a little running there, and a little bit of Arc Trainer just because I forgot how much I liked it!
daily dish: Piecing together random leftovers to make meals has been the name of the game this week. That, and these AMAZING cookies…which have been consumed enthusiastically since Thursday.
daily miles:
Day 65: like watching pavement-colored paint dry
Day 66: miscellany
Day 67: act justly, love mercy, walk humbly, eat chocolate
Day 68: the meat of the matter
(Somehow I managed to block Day 68 from my roadtrip memories…but now it's back in all it's gory glory.)
21 days: Surprisingly, fairly consistent! I'd say I'm 2.5/3 this week…with the .5 going to aforementioned baked goods and their enthusiastic consumption.

There is a difference of opinion. However, if you have not been to high altitude often, we suggest you consider trying Diamox. You may wish to start with one half of a tablet in Kathmandu to see how you react to the medication and if you have any side effects. During the approach to basecamp, as well as once we are on the mountain, we suggest you consider taking one to two tablets per day, depending upon your body weight, rate of ascent, and your reaction to the medication.
We encourage members who are going to high-altitude for their first time to try Diamox. During our expedition, we can often tell which team members are using Diamox and which are not according to their level of activity vs. lethargy. Those trying Diamox are often seen laughing, playing cards, and throwing frisbees in basecamp, while those who are not are often seen hunched over their tea in the dining tent, holding their heads and grumbling about a headache. The non-users may also not be seen at all, as they are in their tent lying in their sleeping bag suffering a migraine-like headache.
Whatever your opinion is, Diamox is a very vital part of any high altitude climbers medical kit, used in the prevention of mountain sickness, also known as high altitude sickness or acute mountain sickness (AMS). It's a very old drug, originally developed for cardiac patients in the 1930s. It is the most well known and tested of all of the high altitude drugs. It works well as a preventative medication, taken in advance of symptoms, proactively. It also works acutely in first-aid situations to reduce the severity of symptoms once high-altitude sickness ensues. Common dosage is a half tablet (tablets are 250mg) before AMS occurs, to see if any severe side effects occur. Common side effects include tingling, 'pins and needles' and excessive urination. If no severe side effects occur, it's common to take one 250 mg tablet per day. Up to 2 or even three tablets may be taken per day, depending upon body weight (smaller people need to take less, and larger people more). Be sure to drink enough water, as Diamox is a diuretic (increases urination and thus dehydration).
Diamox increases your body's uptake of carbon dioxide through a ph change in the blood, so as an indirect reaction of your body, it causes you to breath (exhale) more to get rid of the extra CO2. The other mechanism your body uses to get rid of extra CO2 is to urinate more. Breathing more causes you not only to exhale more CO2, but also to take in more oxygen. Your body responds to all of this fresh new oxygen by making your red blood cell count increase. This is what you need to become acclimatized to the higher altitude, more red blood cells to carry more oxygen. Whether you take Diamox or not, this red blood cell increase happens naturally as you slowly ascend to higher altitudes.

I was experimenting with animating various ways in Harmony, sometimes using keyframing and digital tricks but it was more fun drawing the animation straight ahead like this.
Once I had my rough layout poses registered in Harmony, I just went ahead and drew each animation drawing one at a time.
I just kept scrubbing the sound track and matching the drawings to the accents in the dialogue.
The brush tool is pretty easy to use and I didn't worry about making mistakes because I could play each bit of animation back instantly to see if it worked.
If something didn't work right, instead of trying to draw over it and fix a certain drawing and ending up with a scribbly mess, I just deleted it and drew another from scratch.
What's fun about animating this way is that as you start to get comfortable with a scene, you get braver too.
You can see how conservative the scene starts out as I was a chicken Willie worried that I might get caught having fun.
Once I figured out how easy it is to just delete something and redraw it I started to get a little more exaggerated as I went along. No one was looking over my shoulder except my assistant Tommy, who couldn't fire me for not tracing model sheets, though he probably wanted to.
I was surprised by no matter how much I distorted the drawings and how few inbetweens I used I still was able to get the animation to play smoothly.
It kinda made me mad that I didn't go further.
I actually animated the nose before I animated the eye and I used keys and inbetweens, and that didn't turn out as smooth.
It looks more start and stop or pose to pose like most TV cartoons.
I think the great thing about being able to animate so fast and playing it back as you go, that you naturally become more confident and daring.
If I could get enough animators to do this, it wouldn't be long before the way cartoons moved would be a lot freer and inventive.
We might stop thinking of character designs as "assets" to be artificially manipulated like puppets around the screen.
I'm hoping this eyeball will become Adult Swim's Tony the Tiger or Kim Kardasian's butt. If not, I'll have to create some animated ear convolutions next.
I did use some sneaky digital animation tricks in this spot too, like keyframing and even morphing for Cripe's sake. I can post some of that crap too if you are curious.
BTW, if you wanna use Harmony yourself, I suggest you buy Animate or Animatepro first. They do the same things as Harmony but are more affordable. Harmony is really for studios, not individuals.

CINCINNATI — Hardly able to get a hit, the San Francisco Giants used a misplayed grounder to prolong their NL playoff series.
Third baseman Scott Rolen's two-out error in the 10th inning gave the Giants the go-ahead run Tuesday night in a 2-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, who couldn't shake 17 years of home postseason futility.
The Giants avoided a sweep in Game 3, cutting their division series deficit to 2-1.
Rolen, an eight-time Gold Glove winner, couldn't come up with Joaquin Arias' short-hop grounder, bobbled it and threw late to first.
"I've gone through the play many times in my mind between then and now, and I think I would play it the same way," Rolen said. "It hit my glove. I just couldn't get it to stick."
The Giants managed only three hits against Homer Bailey and Reds relievers, but got two of them in the 10th — along with a passed ball by Ryan Hanigan — to pull it out. San Francisco won despite striking out 16 times.
"We kept scratching and clawing down two games to none," reliever Jeremy Affeldt said. "That's the way it is in the playoffs."
Cincinnati finished with four hits, just one after the first inning.
Left-hander Barry Zito will pitch Game 4 on Wednesday for the Giants, who have won the last 11 times he started. The Reds have to decide whether to try ace Johnny Cueto, forced out of the opener in San Francisco on Saturday with spasms in his back and side.
Manager Dusty Baker said after the game that they hadn't decided whether to let Cueto try it, bring back Mat Latos on short rest again, or replace Cueto with Mike Leake, who wasn't on the division series roster.
Replacing Cueto would leave the Reds ace ineligible to pitch in the championship series should the Reds get that far.
"It's very difficult, but it all depends on if your ace can't go or whatever it is," Baker said. "That's part of the conversation — us going without him. We realize what's at stake."
The Reds haven't won a home playoff game since 1995, the last time they reached the NL championship series. One win away from making it back there, they couldn't beat a Giants team that has barely been able to get a hit.
Didn't need many in this one.
Bailey made his first start at Great American Ball Park since his Sept. 28 no-hitter in Pittsburgh and allowed only one hit in seven innings, the latest dominating performance by a Reds starter. Marco Scutaro singled in the sixth for the only hit off Bailey.
Fortunately for the Giants, Bailey's one lapse let to a run. He hit a batter, walked another and gave up a sacrifice fly by Angel Pagan in the third inning.
That was it until the 10th, with the Giants going down swinging — the Reds set a season high for strikeouts. Closer Aroldis Chapman got a pair of strikeouts on 100 mph fastballs during a perfect ninth inning, keeping it tied at 1.
San Francisco's one-hit wonders finally got it going against Jonathan Broxton, who gave up leadoff singles by Buster Posey — the NL batting champion — and Hunter Pence, who pulled his left calf on a wild swing before getting his hit.
With two outs, Hanigan couldn't come up with a pitch, letting the runners advance. Arias' tough-chance grounder then put Rolen in a tough spot — charging the ball for a quick short-hop swipe. He couldn't come up with it cleanly, and Arias beat the throw.

MANILA (Reuters) - The crowd fell into silence for seconds, some wept unabashedly as they stared quietly at a giant screen in a Manila public park after Manny Pacquiao lost his WBO welterweight crown on a controversial split decision on Saturday.
Filipinos in cinemas, hotels, public parks and even army bases across the Philippines were shocked, too numbed to react as Pacquiao, winner of eight world boxing divisions, tasted his first defeat since March 2005.
American Timothy Bradley ended Pacquiao's 15-match win streak in the ring, but many Filipinos found it difficult to accept after a fight Pacquiao largely dominated.
"I'm so devastated," basketball coach Charles Tiu, who watched the fight with his family and friends at a bar, told Reuters.
People at the bar were stunned by the decision. They were speechless for a moment but there was no big simultaneous outcry.
"I'm shocked and disappointed," Gina Tubo, a 42-year-old mother, said, wiping tears from her eyes.
"The decision was unfair. There was a moment when Bradley was wobbling. How can Pacquiao lose that way."
Pacquiao was convinced he had done won the fight as the Las Vegas crowd booed the decision, which triggered criticism in the boxing world.
British boxer Amir Khan tweeted that the result was a "robbery" while former world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis called it "disgraceful."
There was also frustration etched on the faces of hundreds of soldiers who watched the fight at army bases across the country.
Filipinos stood behind their Pacquiao, who was immediately offered a rematch by Bradley.
"Manny will remain and will always be our champion," army spokesman Colonel Arnulfo Marcelo Burgos said of Pacquiao, a lieutenant-colonel in the reserve force.
"God may have other plans for him" Tubo added of Pacquiao, a congressman and widely regarded as the world's best pound-for-pound fighter.
Manila's streets were deserted before and during the fight as Filipinos were glued to the television.
Police authorities have said the crime rates drop every time Pacquiao enters the ring.

The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich - Volume 2, Issue 23
This article appeared on WorldNetDaily.com on Thursday, April 25, 2002.
On May 4, 1970, during a noontime antiwar rally on the campus of Kent State University, a number of Ohio National Guardsmen opened fire on unarmed students. When the shooting stopped, four students lay dead. A photographer took a picture of a weeping student cradling the head of her dying friend. That compelling photograph was carried on the front page of many of our nation's newspapers and burned into the conscience of America.
It became a symbol of violence and antiwar sentiment. However, that symbol did not capture the burning of the Kent State ROTC building by violent antiwar protesters two nights before. The picture also misses the rioting of campus radicals, such as the members of the Students for a Democratic Society who may have incited the burning of school property and other acts of violence against school and state authorities.
Thus, an incomplete picture used as a symbol saddened a war-weary nation and turned more citizens against the war in Vietnam. Regardless of how it happened or who was responsible, few can look at that horrifying picture today and not be swept up in feelings of regret and anger that young lives were lost in such a tragic manner.
In 1970, Kent State's deadly violence came out the barrel of a National Guardsman's rifle, and that rifle became a symbol used against war and perceived government abuse. In 2002, another symbolic rifle at another Ohio university is causing turmoil of a different kind.
A professor of journalism at the University of Ohio was recently ordered to remove a Civil War relic from his office wall, but has protested because he thinks the university's policy is silly and unrealistic. Some school administrators and liberal professors are upset because he has opinions different from theirs, and they've found a way to get even with him. They've set out to "get him," and sadly, it appears they have the power to do it.
Professor Patrick S. Washburn now awaits his rhetorical hanging and perhaps the end of his professional career simply because he's willing to stand up for his rights.
His great-grandfather's rifle, long ago rendered inoperable, is considered to be in violation of a "workplace violence" policy regarding weapons of any kind on campus, even those used for display. Someone, who visited his office or heard about his rifle lodged a complaint, and soon, armed campus police were at his door. They strongly suggested that he remove the display or face disciplinary actions, including possible dismissal from employment.
The professor, a practicing conservative, is angry and determined to exercise his rights to free expression and has decided to fight back. Aware that the Ohio University football team fires a small cannon at games to signal a touchdown, he has suggested that this weapon one that actually does work should also be forbidden if campus policy is followed to the letter.
The cannon is fully operational, and while it's only used to explode harmless gunpowder, it could be loaded with nails or bolts and shot up into the crowd. By contrast, Professor Washburn's rifle also used as a symbol is nonfunctional and can never be fired.
What causes some otherwise rational people to go off the deep end with nonsensical policies that are obviously selectively enforced? Some suggest that recent school shootings have brought new attention to the age-old problem of violence, especially when it involves firearms on campus.
But, if they are really concerned about violence, how do gun-control fundamentalists reconcile the fact that most major university campuses are rife with violent acts being committed against female students, but so little is done about it?
Put another way: Do you have to die in order to get any attention from campus do-gooders?
Why do gun-control fundamentalists use their passion fighting conservatives who only want to protect their First and Second Amendment rights, but find little time to make sure coeds are not raped or assaulted on campus? It's a sad and well-known fact that women make easy targets for sexual attacks by violent predators simply because they usually cannot protect themselves.
What does the average sexual predator know about college campuses? First, there is only a token police presence to protect anybody. Second, everybody except the police are ordered to keep weapons of all kinds off campus. And third, the campus is amply stocked with hundreds, if not thousands, of attractive young females, each one a potential target.
If you were a rapist, where would you go to select your next target? Willy Sutton, a well-known bank robber was once asked why he robbed banks. "Because that's where the money is," he said, obviously amused that anybody would ask such a dumb question. What was not reported was that Sutton, as well as other violent criminals, always cased a potential target and stayed away from those situations where it was likely that victims could put up any fight!
There's no evidence that Professor Washburn is violent. On the contrary, there's plenty of evidence that he's a caring individual concerned about the rights of others. He's hardworking and law-abiding, but his sin may be in attempting to practice his conservative values on a very liberal campus. Would he chase a would-be rapist away from a victimized coed with his non-operational rifle? I would be willing to bet he's brave enough to try.
But Ohio University in its wisdom has decided that the mere appearance of a rifle, even an inoperable one owned by a normal, mature professional man with a good reputation, poses some threat to the university population.
One can only wonder if the events surrounding that tragic shooting on May 4, 1970, on another Ohio University campus has somehow distorted the thinking of those in power at the university. Or, maybe a few of those leftist antiwar protesters have made it to positions of power at OU and now punish any conservatives they can find in their sights?
It would be a refreshing change to find school administrators who think critically and logically when it comes to issues of self-protection for the young people parents entrust to their care.
A question for OU officials: How many students were shot last year with inoperable Civil War relics? How many female students were mugged, battered, robbed, or raped? How many of those innocent victims were allowed, or even encouraged to defend themselves?

How can I convert from Microsoft Word to a LaTeX document
I have this fairly large physics thesis due in half a year (about 150 pages) and I wanted to use LaTeX for the formulas and such. I am just the average PC-user, I don't know much about computers, I just use it casually (unlike most of you, who I assume to know much about computers). Since I am a rookie, I like LaTeX very much, because it is so simple. Just use dollars signs and some short abbreviations and voila: you can get the most complicated formulas and such! I want to write a document, preferably in word 2003, and I want a simple converter that can convert it into LaTeX style, just like the box below where I'm typing is doing now. Keep in mind, I don't know a lot, so please suggest some easy converters with some instruction.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 18, No. 1 June 1991
Gary D. Burkette Michael P. Riordan and
Diane A. Riordan JAMES MADISON UNIVERSITY
Abstract: Europeans transported continental accounting practices during the period of worldwide colonization. This paper describes the transportation of branch accounting by members of the Moravian Church. Physical records maintained in the Archives for the Southern Province of the Moravian Church at Salem, North Carolina, and for the Northern Province at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, contain a com-plex, two-tiered system of branch accounting for the enterprises within the settlements and the settlements within the worldwide Church. This paper traces recorded activity for 1775 from an enter-prise to its diacony (business organization of a church) and from the diacony to the European Church headquarters. Reporting practices in both North American diaconies reflect a similar practice of branch accounting, each culminating in formal financial statements to the European "home office" of the Moravian Church.
Many is the long winter evening that I have passed in the wigwams of the Delawares, listening to the good Moravians ...
Today, over a century and a half since James Fenimore Cooper made this reference to the Moravians in The Prairie, the average scholar is perhaps only slightly familiar with the history of the Moravians. By consulting the bookkeeping records left behind by the Moravian settlers, accounting scholars will gain a greater understanding of accounting practices transported to

What's your best advice for a mom struggling with cooking for children with food allergies?
I talk about this in my e-book--it's a big topic! While every child has different tastes, I like to cook simple, tasty meals using as many unprocessed foods as possible. Veggies and fruits in season are great to use. I cook a lot and freeze foods so that I have something to offer on those busy nights when everyone seems to have a different extracurricular activity. Moms should develop a go-to guide and outline menus to make it easier on themselves. This is extra important when dealing with food restrictions. The other suggestion I have is to involve kids in the cooking process! They will need to learn this skill and it gives them a good attitude toward food when they see that they are able to create yummy meals at home. The other thing is to never be afraid to check with a company and find out how a food is made. Labels don't always tell the whole story. You will find your favorite "safe" brands but you need to do some research.

On Friday, sometime around 1100 GMT, China sent a probe to the moon.
The rocket, bearing the Chang'e-2 probe, launched from the Xichang launch center around that time and proceeded to take the probe toward a trans-lunar orbit.
The trip from earth to moon will take approximately five days, after which time the probe will "collect data and test key technologies" for future landings—both manned and robotic.
Personal politics aside, all I can say is more more more. Let's go exploring already. [BBC]
