U.S. Tv science expert Miles O Brien has lost an arm in a freak accident.
The former CNN anchor, who is known for his science shows, had his left arm amputated above the elbow after a minor injury from an accident with packing cases left him suffering acute compartment syndrome, a build up of pressure in the limb.
O'Brien explained his health crisis in a post on his blog, revealing he had no idea such a seemingly innocuous injury could escalate into something serious.
He writes, "I had finished my last shoot after a long reporting trip to Japan and the Philippines and was stacking the Pelican cases brimming with Tv gear onto my cart... One of the cases toppled onto my left forearm... It hurt, but I wasn't all '911' about it... It was painful and swollen but I figured it would be okay without any medical intervention..."
He adds of his amputation, "It's been a challenging week dealing with the phantom pain, the vicissitudes of daily life with one hand and the worries about what lies ahead. Life is all about playing the hand that is dealt you. Actually, I would love somebody to deal me another hand right about now - in more ways than one."

Arts and Letters
If I want to have a good relationship with my brother, I'm going to have to be the one to reach out. I accepted that a long time ago. As soon as I moved away for college, it was clear to me: Willie wouldn't pick up the phone or the pen unless I did so first. For years, I assumed that was the only way it would ever be. I know my brother loves me, but I thought I had to take the lead when it came to keeping in touch. And when I left my role as a caregiver for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, the pattern continued. If I wanted a long-distance relationship with my friends, I needed to remember birthdays, and send cards, and pick up the phone. Now, however, the times are changing. I've received a delightfully unexpected letter from one of my former housemates, and my brother is sending epistles every week. True, Willie's being prompted by the goal on his IEP, by the support workers at his program … but he's also taking initiative. According to our Mom, he's keeping in touch more often than dictated by the goal.
I'm on the receiving end of letters from home [3], and it has allowed me to see the belief that I always had to initiate contact for what it was: an incorrect assumption. Perhaps it was true in the past, when Willie's behavior was out of control. But now he's fully capable of maintaining a long-distance friendship with his sister. And is it so surprising that letter-writing works well for us? With letters, there's time to think and measure one's response. There's a greater sense of control than in an in-person conversation. According to Lord Byron, "Letter writing is the only device for combining solitude with good company." This sounds perfect for an introverted writer and a young man on the autism spectrum. Willie and I exchange letters, and it suits us both. His latest letter read:
Dear Caroline,
I had a good day at [my day program]. I did x-rays, math, word search, word scrambler, and I ate lunch with JP and Todd.
Love, Willie
P.S. Thank you for the photo album [a birthday present]. I like it!! Thank you my favorite sister. (My only sister.) Ha!
He's answered a question I asked in my last letter ("What are the names of the friends with whom you eat lunch?") and I can't help but feel proud of him for it.
"He's been writing to you a lot," Mom says during a recent phone call. "Granted, it's pretty much always the same thing, but hey, that's OK—he's writing."
I smile and say, "Yes, he sure is." I know she's been helping him out a bit with the wording—the "Ha!" in the postscript is definitely Mom's syntax, not Willie's—but I don't mind.
Mom and I chat on the phone for a bit longer; then, she says, "Oh, I wanted to tell you … I was able to visit the new day support program I told you about [4]!"
"You did?!" I exclaim. "How was it?"
"It was wonderful," she says, vividly describing the rooms, the program founder, the student artwork. And then: "Willie's going to attend for a two-hour trial period later this week … I'm nervous," she admits.
"Oh, me too … but wow, Mom!" I say. "This is really exciting!"
I try not to get my hopes up … but it's too late. I'm already buoyant. Even if this program doesn't work out, it's still a sign of progress. And the fact that Willie is going to visit tells me that he has options, that he's moving forward.
After Mom and I hang up, I go to my desk. It's time to reply to Willie's letter, and I know just the stationary to use. After I gave a keynote presentation at a sibling conference, I received cards decorated by artists from a disability support program. The colors are brilliant, swirling together. I scan the surrealistic scene, spotting a tree, two suns, and stars. And I think to myself: Willie might do something like this soon. What a wonderful world.

Nine players hosted by the Orange Bowl in its games were selected in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, including four consecutively early in the round (8-11). The nine first round Orange Bowl veterans is second only to the 10 selected in 1997. The Orange Bowl has now hosted 265 players who were later selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. The 2013 NFL Draft is currently being held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
West Virginia's all-everything wide receiver, Tavon Austin was the first Orange Bowl veteran drafted. He was selected with the number eight pick by the St. Louis Rams. Austin set two Discover Orange Bowl records with 12 receptions (for 123 yards) and four touchdowns in the 2012 Discover Orange Bowl.
Immediately following Austin, three players who starred in Alabama's victory in the 2013 Discover BCS National Championship Game were chosen. CB Dee Milliner was selected ninth by the New York Jets, OG Chance Warmack was picked 10th by the Tennessee Titans and OT D.J. Fluker was chosen 11th by the San Diego Chargers.
Three players from Florida State, winner of the 2013 Discover Orange Bowl, were also selected in the first round. QB E.J. Manuel, who passed for 291 yards (26-38) and a touchdown, and ran for 28 yards and a touchdown, was chosen by the Buffalo Bills with the 16th pick. Later in the round, two Seminole defenders went back-to-back, with DE Bjoern Werner going 24th to the Indianapolis Colts and CB Xavier Rhodes 25th to the Minnesota Vikings.
Notre Dame's TE Tyler Eifert, who caught six passes for 61 yards in the 2013 Discover BCS National Championship Game, was chosen 21st by the Cincinnati Bengals and Clemson WR DeAndre Hopkins, was selected 27th by the Houston Texans. Hopkins caught 10 passes for 107 yards and a touchdown in the 2012 Discover Orange Bowl.
The 2014 Discover Orange Bowl will be played on January 3, 2014 at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL. For ticket information for the Discover Orange Bowl, and all Orange Bowl events, please contact 305-341-4701 or log on to www.orangebowl.org.

Herman Farley, Red Mesa Chapter President, asked the San Juan school board on March 21 if an arrangement could be worked out between the Red Mesa and San Juan school districts. Farley is particularly concerned about high school seniors who are preparing to graduate in May.
The Red Mesa schools are just two miles from the Utah state line, said Minnie John, a member of the Red Mesa School Board. She added that students from Utah have attended Red Mesa schools for many years, and busing has not been a problem in the past. Approximately 30 percent of the Red Mesa students are from Utah.
Farley said Utah students may have chosen to attend the Red Mesa Schools because the Utah buses travel only down the highway for pickup while the Arizona buses pick students up at their homes.
Clayton Holt, business manager for the school district, said that the district will review bus routes and suggested that the Utah buses did not go down the county roads because the students have been attending school in Arizona.
Board member Merri Shumway added that Utah buses travel off the highway throughout the district, so it will not be a problem in the Red Mesa area.
Board Member Elsie Dee expressed concern about activity bus transportation, as well as the regular school day bus transportation. Superintendent Doug Wright said the district is initially concerned with academic issues and not so much with activity buses.
Wright said that an unwritten agreement in the past suggested that schools would not pay attention to where students near border areas live, but would allow them to choose their school. The San Juan School District has three schools within a few miles of a state line.
Wright said that the agreement was endangered when Red Mesa started to send buses into Utah to transport students to the Arizona schools.
Wright said the problem with such an agreement is an Arizona requirement that the home district of an out-of-state student is required to pay "reasonable tuition" for the student to attend Arizona schools. Wright said this is a problem since the school district does not generate funds for those students.
"We would be taking money that our students generate for their education and paying it to Red Mesa school district to educate students," said Wright. "…So it doesn't make a lot of sense for us to enter into an intergovernmental agreement."
Clayton Holt mentioned that the federal Impact Aid statute does not allow students from out-of-state to be claimed. He suggested that Red Mesa School District look into that issue, as they should not be receiving funding for students who live in Utah.
The board expressed concern about the issue and support for allowing students to finish the year at schools in Red Mesa. However, after the current school year, students will need to attend school in Utah, as the district will not bus them to Arizona or pay tuition.
Wright said it is in the best interest of the students to finish the year at Red Mesa, especially for the seniors. Utah requires 24 credits to graduate while Arizona requires 20. Wright feared that seniors who transfer to Whitehorse may not be able to graduate.
The Board spoke with Red Mesa interim Superintendant Spencer Singer over the phone to express a preference that Utah students finish the year at Red Mesa. After the board meeting, transportation officials from the two districts met and created a plan for San Juan buses to pick up the students in Utah and transport them to the state line for the remainder of the school year.
However, after a subsequent community meeting in Red Mesa, the Red Mesa schools indicated they would not reimburse the costs of the San Juan buses.
In other business at the March 21 board meeting, the board received a report on the summer remodeling project at Monticello High School and the upcoming construction of a new Monticello Elementary School. A public meeting was held in Monticello on March 20, with about 70 people attending.
Brian Parker, of MHTN Architects, said that a key factor for the new school is cost containment and maintaining a place for students to attend school during construction. As a result, the new school may be shifted up to 150 feet to the west of the current school. This will allow for much of the current school to be used for instruction during the construction phase.
The existing gymnasium, which will not be demolished, will not be attached to the new school. Currently, a walkway is proposed from the school to the gym. This may change as the design develops, as there is community concern about the distance between the buildings. The new school has a budget of $10 million.
The new school will include a multi-use classroom that can be used for many purposes, including band practice and art instruction. The room is adjacent to the cafeteria with a partition wall that can be opened for performances. The majority of the school entrances are being placed to the south to address snow and ice concerns.
Parker said that MHTN and the school district is continuing to work on the site and the new building location, as well as the floor plan and exterior design of the building.
The new elementary school in Monument Valley received an award from the American Concrete Institute for excellence in concrete. The new school design utilized concrete to not only make the school durable, but inviting and beautiful.
In other business, high school students will pay up to $43 less per year after changes were made to the district fee schedule. The changes eliminate an Ed Net fee, technology center fee, newspaper fee, locker fee and language arts fee.
Finally, the district announced that the local school lunch programs do not use the "pink slime" meat product that has been used by schools in other areas of the nation.

Rays Need to Fill their Clubhouse Void
The Tampa Bay Rays front office and my moles have gone silent. The organization seems to have again gone into their seasonal Black Ops mode when finalizing and considering their list of targets for the current 2010 Hot Stove season. But just like a hunter, the Rays have their scouting department scouring the countryside for videos and research that will point their direction towards a few of their prized prey.
And with another banner set to be raised to the rafters in April 2011, the Rays have the young talent and pitching to again cause some havoc in the American League East. But the 2010 season took a toll on the young team as they saw 5 of their top 6 2010 salary earners exit the franchise 40-man roster on Sunday morning. The team saw a combined $ 40 million in 2010 salaries instantly fall off their books which was almost 55 percent of their 2010 outgoing financial picture for Rays players.
The main problem with losing a person like Pena and his ability to command this Rays clubhouse is that you can never match up the team again with that personality and intensity type, but you look for a figure who commands the respect and can take the reins in the clubhouse without a power struggle or in fighting. That is a rare thing to find as ex-Rays slugger Pat Burrell found out in 2009 when he accosted B J Upton in the Rays locker room thinking he had the support of the team, then suddenly found out he was not in the power loop.
Maybe the Rays could set their gun sights on someone like Free Agent Jim Thome who might command a salary like Pena's, but could provide a instant patch to their leadership and Designated Hitter hole with ease. No longer can the Rays set their sights firmly just upon possibly inviting Pena again into the Rays sanctuary. Even with Pena's past vocally adamant wants to return to the Rays, can a financially adequate figure be reached without hindering the rest of the Rays off season secret double agent game plan.
Not only will the Rays be trying to find players to take over the missing pieces in their roster, they will be trying to glue together a few ripped apart seams in their clubhouse character. This might be more difficult than finding a guy who can hit over 30 Home Runs, or hold hitters to under a 3.00 ERA as a reliever. Physical ability is always available within the cycles of players who yearn for a shot in the Major Leagues, but sometimes character and leadership is not their game or part of their professional credo.
2 Comments
I agree that every team needs clubhouse leadership and the Rays will need to replace that in losing the guys you mentioned. Thome is a great option, although, as a division rival, that would scare me senseless!
I knew that name would send shivers through some one.
But he is the one guy I can instantly point to and admire and respect the moment he stepped into the Rays clubhouse.
Iknow there are many others, but to find leadership plus get a upgrade at DH would be a Godsend.

GEOTRANS: The Geographic TranslatorEntry ID: GEOTRANS
Abstract: GEOTRANS (Geographic Translator) is an application program which allows you to easily convert geographic coordinates among a wide variety of coordinate systems, map projections, and datums. GEOTRANS runs in Microsoft Windows (95 and NT) and UNIX Motif environments.
The user interface of GEOTRANS is similar to that of a calculator. To convert a set of coordinates, simply select the coordinate ... system or map projection, and the datum, in which your coordinates are defined, enter the source coordinates, select the coordinate system or map projection, and the datum, to which you want the coordinates to be converted, and click on the Convert button. The resulting coordinates will be displayed. Because the GEOTRANS application stores your previous selections, you can convert additional coordinate sets from the same source by just entering the new coordinates and clicking the Convert button. You can change any of the coordinate system, map projection, or datum selections at any time. Currently, twenty-five different coordinate systems, map projections, grids, and coding schemes, and over two hundred different datums, are supported.
GEOTRANS can also be used to efficiently convert large numbers of coordinates contained in text files. The file format is very simple. A multiline file header defines the coordinate system or map projection, and datum, of the coordinates contained in the file. Following the header, each line contains a single set of coordinates, separated by commas. Using the GEOTRANS file processing interface, you can select an existing file of coordinates to be converted, define the coordinate system or map projection, and the datum, to which you want to convert the coordinates, and specify the name and location of the output file that is to be created. GEOTRANS then converts the input file and creates the output file as a single operation.

Marlins' bats come alive to end eight-game skid
Stanton's five RBIs, Koehler's seven scoreless lead Miami to win
MIAMI -- Pushed around for more than a week, the Marlins took their turn to slug back on Tuesday night.
They did so in a big way.
Giancarlo Stanton blasted a three-run homer and drove in five runs, while Marcell Ozuna collected four hits as the Marlins steamrolled Stephen Strasburg and the Nationals, 11-2, at Marlins Park.
The lopsided win snapped Miami's eight-game losing streak, and evened the three-game set.
As much as the Marlins needed a big scoring output, they were also desperately after a strong starting pitching performance. Tom Koehler provided it, limiting the Nationals to one hit over seven shutout innings. His 112 pitches are one shy of his personal high of 113 against the Mets on Aug. 1, 2013.
"I talked yesterday about having guys step up and I think we saw that tonight," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "You saw an entire team step up. Tommy Koehler set the tone, did a great job. You have a tough lineup to plow through and I think he did a great job."
The 11 runs and 15 hits were both season highs for Miami, and they got to Strasburg for six runs in the first two innings.
"It was great to see our offense strike early," Redmond said. "You could feel the energy, I think. Guys just kind of fed off that throughout the lineup. We were able to put a couple big numbers on the board and give us a little bit of breathing room. It was nice. It was a long eight games there."
A key for Koehler was the first inning, when Anthony Rendon led off the game with a single. Washington threatened with runners on the corners and two outs, but Koehler got Ian Desmond to hit a ground ball to short.
"I think it might have been a case of trying to do too much, knowing you've got to go deep in the game," Koehler said of his rocky first inning. "I really wanted to be a little extra effective. Those are the situations you tend to get in trouble."
Miami wasted little time getting to Strasburg.
Christian Yelich singled to lead off the first inning, establishing a career-high 10-game hitting streak. Ozuna singled, then Stanton blistered a three-run homer to center, which was estimated by ESPN Stats & Info at 457 feet.
"We needed it," Yelich said. "It's been a tough week for us. Things haven't been going our way. For Tommy to go out there and pitch well, and we got off to a fast start out of the gate. Stanton hit that homer. That was a big win for us, getting us back on track."
Stanton added a two-run double in a five-run fifth inning. The last time the slugger drove in five was on Sept. 30, 2010, against the Pirates.
The win was the first by Miami since Jose Fernandez beat the Padres, 5-0, on April 5.
Strasburg was tagged for six runs on eight hits in four innings. Five days ago at Nationals Park, Strasburg struck out 12 and allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings. The Marlins struck out 17 times during the 7-1 loss, matching a franchise record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game.
It was a different story on Tuesday.
"Sometimes you're going to get beaten by a good pitcher," Nationals manager Matt Williams said of Koehler. "It's going to happen sometimes. This is the second time he's thrown well against us. He's a good pitcher."
The game also featured a little bit of tension in the fourth inning, when benches and bullpens emptied after Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Desmond exchanged words chest-to-chest.
The incident came after Koehler's 1-0 fastball sailed up and in on Desmond, who began jawing. Saltalamacchia barked back as players and coaches from both teams spilled onto the field, converging around home plate.
Order was quickly restored, and there was not as much as a shove. Home-plate umpire Marty Foster did issue warnings to both benches.
At the time, the Marlins led by six.
"Guys tend to get a little upset when they get crowded," Koehler said. "But at the same time they're attacking fastballs out over the plate. It's our job as starters to make sure that they know that that's our part of the plate."
"It wasn't premeditated either," Desmond said. "I meant what I was saying. This is how I feed my family. Like I said, I'm not scared to get hit, I've been hit plenty of times, never said a word. I just don't like that."
The incident could serve as a bonding moment for the Marlins, because Saltalamacchia quickly got into the action.
"You always want your catcher to have your back," Koehler said. "We're still building relationships here. For him to step up like that and tell them, ''Listen, don't talk to my pitcher that way,' it definitely means a lot. It's something that hopefully can build a little momentum and bring the team together."

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
Paralyzed and silent in her bed, my daughter Paula taught me a lesson that is now my mantra: You only have what you give. It's by spending yourself that you become rich. …The pain of losing my child was a cleansing experience. I had to throw overboard all excess baggage and keep only what is essential. Because of Paula, I don't cling to anything anymore. Now I like to give much more than I receive. I am happier when I love than when I am loved. I adore my husband, my son, my grandchildren, my mother, my dog, and frankly I don't know if they even like me. But who cares? Loving them is my joy.
Give, give, give–what is the point of having experience, knowledge, or talent if I don't give it away? Of having stories if I don't tell them to others? Of having wealth if I don't share it? I don't intend to be cremated with any of it! It is in giving that I connect with others, with the world, and with the divine. In is in giving that I feel the spirit of my daughter inside me, like a soft presence.
– Isabel Allende, Chilean novelist, journalist, and dramatist.

Are you wanting to be shoved to the curb or be laughed at for your guild application skills?
Well, look no further!
Follow this guide and you're sure to succeed at failing!
- Don't worry about your gear's enchants, gems, or itemization. Once you find a guild to carry you through content, it'll all get replaced anyway, or at least the guild will provide you with free gems or enchants for your gear.
- On that same note, don't farm heroics or pugs to better your gear. Crafted gear is also a waste of time if you can get your new guild to provide it for you. No one ever cares about your commitment to working on gearing your character yourself.
- Don't research your class' proper spec or itemization. Your's is perfect and unique and you're able to solo critters in the Deeprun Tram all by yourself without any help.
- Don't level your professions. You're looking for a guild to do that boring stuff for you, and profession-related bonuses in the higher skill levels really don't make any difference.
- Don't look into the guilds available on your server that are currently recruiting your specific class/role at times available to you. That's too much work.
What application?
- Post in trade chat that you're looking for a high-end raiding guild. Surely all high-end raiding guilds pick up their members from trade chat.
- Whisper any member of the guild you're interested in, asking for an invite. This may involve explaining yourself, so make sure to tell them "i wan2 raid". You might have to find an officer to invite you.
- If anyone mentions the word "application," ignore them. Applications are for jobs and schools, not games.
To ze forums!
- Well, if that didn't pan out, it's time to hop on the forums. Pop into the fast-moving recruitment forums, put up a single post that gives little to no information, and you should be golden. Keep it sparse, because recruitment officers who are looking for you won't read through long, detailed, informative posts. TLDR LOL
- Don't bump it. Everyone looks past the first page of the forums when looking through posts.
- Blanket-bomb every "LFM" guild recruitment thread on the first page. Just tell them that you're looking for a guild. Don't bother reading their initial post that contains relevant info on their server, faction, raid times, raid size, or even what they're recruiting: you're too awesome for that.
- If you want to include some details, don't include anything that can't be discovered by looking at wowarmory.
- If you *do* choose to tell them more info about yourself, don't bother reading through their posted info. Make them do the work of figuring out if their raid times of 6-11 mesh with your requested times of 11 to 3 on a different time zone, or if you're even a role that they want. Clearly, if they want you, they'll get in touch.
- If any of the guilds say to put in an app on their guild forums, just repost the same thing you posted to their wow-forums thread. Filling out apps to a zillion guilds is too hard when you can copy-paste what you think they need to know... even if it includes the things that are completely irrelevant to that guild and whatnot (like talking about how awesome it'd be to be one of their 25 people in their raids... for a 10-man guild). That's their job to worry about the details.
Okay, okay, filling out the guild's application:
- If the above things don't pan out, it's time to actually submit an "application" thingy to the guild. Don't bother reading the instructions, just skim down the list and answer whatever parts you think are relevant.
- If possible, shortly list points rather than describing them, even if the app instructions say otherwise. This avoids the aforementioned TLDR LOL
- If the app asks for a screenshot, just say you don't know how.
- If the app doesn't ask for a gearscore, this is a mistake on the guild's part. Make sure to include it, as well as your sustained DPS from a point in time where you were given free munching-aoe time on a pack of trash mobs while fully raid buffed... and round up. Even if you're a healer.
- If the application asks about your offspec, skip it. There's no reason any guild would ever need to worry about your offspec or experience with it.
- If the app asks about your raiding and guild history, be as sparse as possible and only include details about that specific character. The guild has no need to know that you have rage-quit from 7 guilds before apping to theirs, or that your only experience on all combined characters is a pug VoA you bribed your way into. As another example, your experience in ICC25 on your enh shaman will have no bearing on your fury warrior, so you can omit that, too... it's not like the strategy stays the same.
- If the app asks about something you don't understand, skip it. It must not be important.
- Personality-related questions are optional.
- Make sure to highlight in every section how awesome you are. What can you improve upon? GEAR is the only thing holding you back, you are so awesome. What do you hate about raiding? People who hold you back from being awesome. Why are you apping to this guild? Cuz your other guild was hindering your awesomeness. Etc.
- Link them pr0n (embed an image in the app or as a forum avatar/sig), even if the guild advertises that they're a family guild with children on their roster or if the GM is supposedly a girl. Girls don't play WoW.
- Misspell things, don't use capitalization, and don't use punctuation. cool kidz dont need thos thingz amirit lol
- Don't format the app for legibility. It's the forum's fault if it's hard to read your block of text.
- When linking to your armory or any other external links, make sure they're incorrect and result in a 404. If the guild really wants you, they need to work for it by figuring out the correct address by themselves.
Have you apped to them before and failed?
- App on a different character and hope they don't notice that it's the same email address.
- Alternatively, app again on the same character. They probably have really poor memories and don't archive their past applications, right?
Finishing Touches:
- Don't show up to the first interview. It's like playing coy and it'll make them want you more.
- Troll in trade chat while they're watching to show them just how cool you really are.
- Ask every single guild member what the status of your app is at least once a day. If you hurry them into a decision, hopefully they won't notice all of your severe problems.
- If you find one of their members afk in the bank, spam /sit on them until they come back. It'll make them like you.
- If any of the guild members has you on ignore for some reason, explain that must've been from one of the times that your account was hacked (and when asked, explain that you have no plans to get an authenticator...)
- When you are politely declined, be sure to argue fervently with the declining officer. Put your best drama to bear and throw as much a temper tantrum as you can pull together without being 3 years old, to the point that they start to question if maybe you ARE a toddler.
BTW, Vortex is still looking for a decent healer and a melee dps.
I don't recommend following this guide when apping to us, though ;p

Milwaukee Bucks center Larry Sanders is injured for the remainder of the 2014 NBA season and he's been shamelessly coping with the pain by smoking more weed than Wiz Khalifa.
The league got a sample of his dirty urine and handed him a five-game suspension for the beginning of next season as a penalty.
Despite accepting his punishment, Sanders is speaking out against the NBA due to his personal beliefs for blazing up in a statement:
"It's something I feel strongly about, just to let you know something personal about me," Sanders said. "I will deal with the consequences from it. It's a banned substance in my league. But I believe in marijuana and the medical side of it. I know what it is if I'm going to use it.
"I study it and I know the benefits it has. In a lot of ways we've been deprived. You can't really label it with so many other drugs that people can be addicted to and have so many negative effects on your body and your family and your relationships and impairment. This is not the same thing.
"The stigma is that it's illegal. I hate that. Once this becomes legal, this all will go away. But I understand for my work it's a banned substance. I will deal with the consequences and I apologize again to my fans for that.
Several NFL players have also voiced their opinion in agreeable with the one Sanders carries.
It's a misguided notion to think marijuana will forever be a banned substance, but for now, it's a still illegal.

Poland's Bumar Elektronika and Raytheon Partner to Develop New Patriot IFF Antenna
Raytheon establishes another partnership with Polish defense industry
TEWKSBURY, Mass., June 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) announced today that it will partner with Bumar Elektronika on the design and development of a modernized Patriot Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) antenna. This new antenna is a key element of the advanced Patriot 360 degree radar proposed by Raytheon for Poland's medium-range air and missile defense system program named "WISLA." The component will also be compatible with previous Patriot configurations, allowing for future upgrades of the existing worldwide Patriot radar fleet.
"There is a considerable level of technical complexity associated with this effort, which highlights Raytheon's commitment to deliver significant, long term benefits to Poland's defense industry," said Daniel J Crowley, President, Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems. "In addition, this antenna opens an export market for Bumar Elektronika among established users worldwide – an opportunity unique to the Patriot system."
The initial agreement between the parties enables the respective engineering teams to begin work on defining the concept and could potentially lead to a multi-year design, development, test program and production contract.
"We are pleased to initiate this project in cooperation with Raytheon, which gives us the opportunity to make an important contribution to future improvements of Patriot. This offers clear benefits to nations around the world that depend on the system's proven capability," said Dr. Ryszard Kardasz, President of Bumar Elektronika.
The announcement comes two months after Raytheon and Polski Holding Obronny sp.z o.o. (PHO) hosted a partnering conference in Warsaw, which brought together over 100 Polish suppliers and government officials during two days of active dialogue. Raytheon is actively pursuing several other opportunities with Polish industry in preparation for the WISLA program. The company's offer for WISLA includes the development with Polish industry of a next generation Patriot solution, which incorporates:
- A new Common Command and Control (CC2) system that offers open architecture & multi-role capability, which builds on and preserves the combat-proven functionality of Patriot and its inherent US/NATO interoperability,
- Introduction of a 360-degree multi-function radar using the latest advanced radar technology to provide unmatched performance, unprecedented operational readiness and the lowest maintenance cost and,
- The potential for integration of a new advanced Low Cost Interceptor (LCI) to further expand Patriot's ability to simultaneously fire multiple missile types to address the continuously evolving threat spectrum.
Patriot is designed with modular components allowing the system to be continually upgraded and modernized. Today, Patriot is the only combat-proven air and missile defense system, protecting the U.S. and allied forces around the world. Its 12-nation global community, including 5 NATO nations, and future Patriot partners offer Poland benefits through system enhancement, training, maintenance, testing, logistics and shared costs.
About Bumar Elektronika
Bumar Elektronika S.A. a Warsaw headquartered company, is a successor of two Polish radar houses: PIT S.A. ad CNPEP Radwar S.A., having an 80-years long record of design, manufacturing and logistic support of radar technology, command and control systems and radar-related armament.

Palm oil is the world's cheapest edible oil and a key ingredient in some biofuels. Global demand is booming and agri-corporations are grabbing large swathes of land to expand palm oil production in a new frontier: Africa.
One of these corporations is Herakles Farms, a New York-based agri-corporation with links to one of the world's largest private equity firms, Blackstone. Herakles is steaming ahead with its palm oil plantation in Cameroon, which is set to affect tens of thousands of people in dozens of villages and, covering around 70,000 hectares, would flatten a forested area nearly eight times larger than Manhattan Island between four protected areas.
Portraying itself as a benign benefactor, Herakles Farms says it "aims to meet growing global demand for food by developing sustainable and environmentally benign projects with full support of the local people".
But in Cameroon, this is hardly the case.
During a Greenpeace field trip to Cameroon this month, I witnessed widespread local opposition to Herakles Farms' highly controversial yet potentially lucrative palm oil plantation.
People fear they will lose their land and their livelihoods to the US-based corporation's subsidiary in Cameroon, SG Sustainable Oils Cameroon (SGSOC). Many farmers in the area are self-employed, growing cacao, taro and maize, among other fruits and vegetables. SGSOC has not presented any maps indicating the inner boundaries of the proposed palm oil concession, leaving villagers in the dark as to how much farmland they actually stand to lose.
Full support of the local people is something Herakles Farms clearly does not have.
During a visit by the Governor of the South West Region to Fabe and Toko on June 6, local people wore t-shirts with the slogan "SGSOC out – no plantation in our land", and put up a banner saying: "Mr Governor, welcome to Toko municipality. We say no to SGSOC/Herakles Farms". Villagers in Fabe also placed traditional juju symbols, such as palm leaves, at the entrance to the plantation, to prevent SGSOC workers from entering.
These protests have been met with severe intimidation and arrests. Protesters were summoned to Mundemba police station and several villagers have been arrested for several days.
Despite claims to the contrary, the farm will not deliver a financial windfall. Herakles Farms somehow managed to negotiate a contract that is exceedingly favorable for the company. For instance, the company has received major tax breaks and the surface rents are so incredibly low (US$1 per hectare) that taxes will contribute almost nothing to state revenue, while for a full 99 years SGSOC pays no import or export duties. It is even unclear if Cameroon labour laws will cover employees of the plantation.
Herakles Farms is racing to hide this sort of news and will instead continue to talk about "collaboration", "community support" and "economic growth". But the fact is, Herakles Farms is in a race against time. It has thousands of palm oil seedlings that may soon be too old to plant; in other words, a big waste of time and money for the company.
Herakles is also racing to keep the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) on board, which certifies producers as 'sustainable'. Losing its chance to get certified would mean losing credibility to its potential buyers and investors.
An independent assessment by the High Conservation Value Resource Network Technical Panel has shown the High Conservation Value (HCV) assessment SGSOC commissioned to be deeply flawed. The RSPO is also now faced with two formal complaints filed by WWF and SAVE and has been criticized by Cameroonian and international organisations as weall as scientists. Greenpeace can only expect that the RSPO will confirm as soon as possible that the Herakles Farms project is simply not suitable for certification.
SGSOC's proposed palm oil project is the wrong project in the wrong place. It must be stopped. Rather then becoming a model for sustainable palm oil production in Cameroon, the project is generating substantial social conflict and may lead to large-scale rainforest destruction in one of the most ecologically sensitive areas of Africa.
This is why Greenpeace has been calling upon potential investors into SGSOC's project such as the African Development Bank to not put their funding in this controversial palm oil project.

Good work. Congratulations. I would have also liked to include in the article that a local NGO took SG SOC to Court in Cameroon and that the Court ordered a temporary halt on the activities of the company until certain conditions are complied with which orders the company is flouting with impunity. So Herakles Farms and its Cameroonian subsidiary are operating illegally.

On behalf of Struggle to Economize Future Environment (SEFE), I heartily express my gratitude to the Greenpeace family for supporting this worthwhile course for the sake of both local and global interests. The decision for Herakles to invest in palm plantations in this area substantial ecological, hydrological and cultural significance could only be considered as green terrorism and/or scamming and which must not be allowed to happen. Many comments and research findings by knowledgeable experts and seasoned scientists and empirical observations of similar project in the area and elsewhere in the world have shown that this kind of project is unsuitable and attainable in this area because it poses great threats to humans, wildlife, ecosystems and other aquatic habitats beyond the proposed concession.Even local residents have seized up the impacts of this project as "very deadly" livelihoods and have since rejected the project severally by placing traditional injunctions and peaceful demonstrations.
That notwithstanding, Herakles continues to work on the assertion that "all land belong to the state". The have since develop corruption schemes aimed at influencing public officials get illegal documents by ignoring the Cameroon law and to intimate, arrest, and detain villagers who are oppose to the Herakles illegal presence in their land.
In conclusion, We of SEFE believe strongly that enough evidence have be provided showing that the implantation of this project is not suitable in the proposed concession area and therefore there no need for any try-out, be it phase or experimental development as recently announced by Herakles which has no tract records on this knid of business. "SGSOC OUT" is where the population stand and SEFE stand by them

Tooling Update
QDC System Headed to Bombardier for Stretch-Forming Presses
There are 0 comments | Post a comment
Wednesday, October 1, 2008
Atlas Technologies, Inc., Fenton, MI, has received an order from Bombardier for an innovative die-change system for stretch-forming presses. Slated for delivery in June 2009, the system will allow the firm to change dies as many as eight times per shift, significantly improving its ability to optimize production schedules and avoid having to run large batches and stockpile parts.
Plant safety and ergonomics will improve as well, as operators will no longer be required to walk on platforms over the press pit to manually change dies.Atlas Technologies: 810/629-6663; www.atlastechnologies.com

A 44-year-old man died Friday afternoon after he accidentally shot himself in the lower abdomen, a Sonoma County sheriff's sergeant said.
The shooting happened around 11:20 a.m. in the 2000 block of Silk Road south of Windsor in unincorporated Sonoma County near the Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County Airport.
The victim's friends, who were in the residence at the time of the shooting, were driving him to a hospital, but they flagged down deputies in the 6000 block of Windsor Road, Sgt. Carlos Basurto said.
The victim was then taken by ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital where he died, Basurto said.
Detectives determined there was no foul play and the wound was self-inflicted and seems to be accidental, Basurto said. The weapon was recovered at the scene and the victim's name is being withheld until his next of kin are notified, Basurto said.

66sick is a German bicycle component company that makes ergonomic All-Mountain specific grips and saddles. The company is the brain child of Sasha Meyenborg, whose racing pedigree includes BMX German Championship titles and the 1996 overall BMX World Cup, along with racing in dual slalom, Dual Eliminator and 4cross. They utilize technology from SQlab but apply their own wildness and flavor to their own product lineup of saddles, grips and accessories. The result is the aggressive oriented Espacio Libre, and the lighter race oriented El Flaco saddles. Radsport USA, the North American home of the premium German brands of Syntace, Liteville, SQlab and Haberland, recently added 66Sick to their lineup.
The 66Sick Espacio Libre saddle comes in two widths (seat bone width specific), with good support surface contact for maximum pedaling performance and riding position, and it's thickly padded for aggressive and rough usage on the trail. 66Sick uses SQLabs stepped padding design, which pushes the riders weight to the sit bones rather than sensitive soft tissue.
The saddles feature a Carbon fiber reinforced shell, and Kevlar edges, a central ergonomic trough, a long padded nose and chromoly rails. It comes in 129mm and 144mm seat widths, orange, green and black/gray colors, and retails for $139.
Measured weight – 276 grams
Bottom Line
I love the graphics of the saddle, and it definitely sets it apart from most anything on the market, though some might find it garish. I found the seat comfortable and easy to move around on, and the nose had lots of padding for those climbs and maneuvers on steeper terrain. I got the widest 144mm version, since my SQLab size comes in at 14, which is pretty close to a match. It felt nice when my sit bones got up on the rear of the saddle, and it was well padded, offering comfort while pedaling or bashing down through rough terrain. I found the front portion of the saddle to have an ideal length and width and subtle roundness, which made longer seated sessions more tolerable and less injurious. I did a massive ejector after my handlebars hit a tree, and the bike and I tumbled quite a distance, and the rear of the saddle got smashed pretty hard, and there wasn't any damage outside of some dirt. The Kevlar edges really helped with the durability, and along with the more stout chromoly rails, this should be a long-lived saddle. The well-padded 66Sick Espacio Libre is comfortable and tough, and all the SQLab technologies really make this a winner in the All-Mountain saddle category.
- Comfortable
- Durable and tough
- Stepped design
- Nose is nicely padded
- Two widths
- Moderately heavy
- Colors and patterns are a bit wild
Overall Rating: 4.5 Flamin' Chili Peppers


text: The "$1 per Watt" barrier may not sound as impressive as the sound barrier, but this next-gen wind turbine is the first, and has an unusual design. The AeroCam's horizontal-axis, flat-blade shape has blades that're dynamically angled to maximize wind-catching. It's also compact, so can fit into urban environments, and captures wind from any direction. Plus, AeroCam turbines make less noise and vibration than conventional ones, wear out less quickly and cost less to build. They may even be cheaper than solar panels, so it seems like a win-win-win. Since a 250kW unit will cost $250,000, it'll be your energy suppliers, not you, that ends up owning one. [EnergyDaily and Inhabitat]

Princes Amongst Men
This book is quite unlike any of the others we have featured on these pages. Garth Cartwright is a journalist from New Zealand living in London. In 2005 he published Princes Amongst Men which is subtitled Journeys with Gypsy Musicians. In it Cartwright sets off in search of gypsy musicians in Serbia, Macedonia, Romania and Bulgaria. It is a revealing and hilarious travel book, but also a valuable one, bringing to an English-speaking readership the life and times of the people he meets. Many of the musicians are huge at home and many of them well known on the World Music circuit too. Amongst them, in Serbia are (look at them on YouTube) Saban Bajramovic (who died in June 2008,) and Boban Markovic, in Macedonia, the queen of Roma music Esma Redzepova and Ferus King. In Romania he meets the band Taraf de Haidouks and in Bulgaria the amazing looking, campy, bleached blond bearded Azis. In this first extract Cartwright, whose head he tells us is "like an eggshell" after a heavy night's drinking tracks down Ferus King whose real name is Ferus Mustafov. King is a musical legend in Macedonia and much of the rest of former Yugoslavia and its diaspora. He finds him at the motel he owns in a suburb of Skopje:
Ferus isn't the Ferus I imagined. Music and the images accompanying it are so potent we often expect musicians to be larger than life; Ferus's majestic saxophone sound long ago convinced me he was a Gypsy giant, a man swollen by the remarkable sounds he conjures. Instead, Ferus is tiny, a shrunk-in-the-wash urchin with thinning hair, a ragged beard, swarthy features. At first I think it is the rakija, affecting my vision. But no, there he hovers, three feet and rising… [But] Ferus's fame does not rest on perfect features, MTV stardom or animal magnetism. What he possesses is a wild musical grace, serpentine melodies, his sound so warm and liquid, a sonic narcotic. For more than twenty years Ferus's clarinet and saxophone playing have ruled across the Balkans, establishing him as the dark prince of oros, a man so able to make people move they named a dance after him. It is called the Ferus.
Ferus tells Cartwright about growing up in Stip with musician parents. Later, "to get out of Stip," he says, "I started working the Yugoslav restaurant circuit and ended up in Budva on the Adriatic Sea in 1980." From there he went to work in Sarajevo. "What a city Sarajevo was! A pity those idiots had to destroy it. Good music… good people… good-looking women. It had everything."
Ferus's reputation as Wedding King finds him flown to the US, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, wherever there are wealthy Macedonian exiles wanting a roaring reception. Thus he can ignore the relatively paltry sums offered by the world music circuit. His Slovenian manager once set up a major European tour only to have Ferus cancel at the last minute. Weddings, you see, had come up and Ferus hoped he would understand. Said manager suffered a heart attack.
Next Ferus takes Cartwright on a guided tour of his "Motel Ferus King".
Upstairs consists of five bedrooms. The walls are decorated with photos of Ferus and various turbo-folk babes. He generally stands around the height of their very prominent breasts and grins like he is in pig-heaven.
"I played with Ceca and Lepa Brena. They want me for sessions when I am in Belgrade. I like everything that is beautiful and Ceca is very beautiful! Turbo-folk has been popular but now people are going back to traditional music and so the folk music is going ahead. Every generation comes up with something new and the folk music of the Balkans is very strong now."
A soundtrack to the book is also available.

Texas Children's wants donated breast milk to help preemies
Saving babies' lives, ounce by ounce
Texas Children's Hospital urges nursing moms to donate their breast milk for premature infants
Hospitals and other organizations routinely urge people to give blood, bone marrow and even some organs, but Texas Children's Hospital is launching a different kind of donor program: breast milk.
The Houston pediatric hospital is asking nursing mothers in the area to donate their excess milk, which has proved life-saving for prematurely born babies whose mothers are unable to produce enough to meet the infant's needs.
"The evidence is overwhelming that these critically ill preemies do best on mother's milk, the reason we only feed breast milk in our neonatal intensive care unit," said Nancy Hurst, a Texas Children's nurse and director of the new donor milk program. "Ideally, they get their own mother's milk, but donor milk is the next best thing."
Around the nation, the use of donor breast milk has grown dramatically in recent years. The nation's nonprofit donor milk banks last year processed and dispensed 1.8 million ounces, up from about 325,000 in 1999. The increased demand has caused the banks to issue urgent appeals for donors.
That demand mostly relates to the nation's roughly 51,000 very low birth weight babies who survive childbirth every year, babies who weigh 3.3 pounds or less. It would take nearly 9 million ounces of donor milk to provide all those babies what the mothers themselves can't produce.
But the growing demand is also reflected in an emerging movement known as "milk trafficking," in which individuals or groups trade, buy or sell breast milk, such as on the website onlythebreast.com. The Food and Drug Administration last year warned against using such individually acquired milk because it's unlikely to have been adequately screened for infectious disease or contamination risk.
Since 2009, Texas Children's had got its donor milk from the Mothers' Milk Bank at Austin, one of 10 U.S. nonprofit banks, all of which screen the donor mothers' blood and pasteurize the milk. Texas Children's will now maintain its own bank, though the pasteurizing will be done at a for-profit plant in California.
'Liquid gold'
Breast milk has been shown to lower the incidence of an often fatal condition in preemies known as necrotizing enterocolitis, which occurs when the lining of the intestinal wall dies. Texas Children's rate of the condition dropped from 10 to 12 percent, the national average, to 2 percent after it began using breast milk 100 percent of the time in 2009.
Among the grateful mothers is Lashorna Latique Foote, who on July 13 gave birth, three months early, to Kelby Elizabeth, 1 pound, 10 ounces. When Foote was unable to produce much breast milk, Kelby received donor milk at Texas Children's and is responding great, according to doctors.
"That milk is liquid gold," says Foote, marveling at Kelby's early development. "What else explains how someone so tiny and fragile could do so well? Everything the doctors tell me is that she's progressing on the schedule she needs to be on."
The 'yuck factor'
Foote admits to being initially uncomfortable with donated milk, a not uncommon reaction that has been described as "the yuck factor." Foote, initially worried Kelby could be more connected to the milk's donor than her, came around after a lactation expert and a nurse reassured her — it's no different from getting donated blood, experts say - and now she enthusiastically recommends the practice.
In another form, donor milk dates to more than 2,000 years before Christ, when the Code of Hammurabi set forth the qualities for a good wet nurse, women who breast-fed others' babies. Wet nurses fell out of favor in the developed world around the turn of the 20th century, after researchers found the milk could transfer diseases to newborns. Milk banks emerged not long after.
The appeal of donor breast milk is particularly strong because it's common for mothers of premature babies to struggle to produce milk. Other reasons a mother may produce too little milk or none at all include the stress of the ICU environment, multiple births, separation from the infant, adoption and her own medical condition or medications she's on.
Also, premature infants often arrive at hospitals such as Texas Children's well before the mother, transferred from remote locations.
Mothers' response
Texas Children's treats about 3,000 very low birth weight babies a year - about a third receive their mother's own milk, a third receive almost exclusively donor milk and a third receive a mix. Medicaid and most insurance plans cover the charge for donor milk, which is given with a doctor's prescription.
Under the Texas Children's program, donor mothers pump extra milk at home, then send it off by FedEx to the California plant that not only pasteurizes it but fortifies it with calories and nutrients before returning it to the Houston hospital. The pasteurization process kills a little of the milk's key immune factor, but 70 percent remains. There is none of the immune factor in formula.
Hurst said she's confident Houston's nursing mothers will respond to the call.
"It's been great working with Mothers' Milk Bank, but the time is right for us to start our own bank," said Hurst. "I think a lot of women, many of them already connected to Texas Children's, will be happy to donate, knowing it's going to a local NICU."

Greenpeace activists protest at the Shell oil refinery in Fredericia, Denmark, to expose the company's 'true face' in the Arctic. The activists hang a banner on one of the chimneys reading: 'Save The Arctic', while others climb to the top of a silo to rebrand Shell's logo. Shell is leading the oil companies' drive into the Arctic, exposing the vulnerable environment in Greenland and the Arctic to damaging oil spills.

Lester Cole
Lester Cole (ne Cohen), CCNY 1912, was a well known student at City College in 1909; he was marshal of the sophomore class (the class of 1912). He was leaderlike and colorful; he was called The Chief. The sophomores had taken the freshmen class officers to Long Island and the frosh simply took off. Cole held a meeting of class leaders there on North Beach and invited twelve to a meeting on November 26, 1909 to discuss class matters. Eight of them showed up. They decided instead to form a new fraternity and call it Cosmic Fraternal Order, to be called "Kappa Phi Omega." Fascinated by the Orient, Cole proposed the use of Hindu letters for the motto, which passed, and he was delegated to ascertain the proper Hindu equivalents. The name, however, was compromised causing a name change a few days later. That is when "Sigma Alpha Mu" and the motto were chosen. But a vestige of Cole's oriental leanings remains in the ΣΑΜ archives, for he was in charge of official papers in the very earliest days and Fraternity documents were executed by him by hand. Of those, several pledge forms survive. They include three symbols ostensibly of Hindu origin placed on a black octagon, which have been examined by Sanskrit scholars….As an upperclassman Cole must have cut quite a figure. His campus activity grew; he was a Delegate, Class Vice President, served on important student committees and was elected to the Engineering Society and the Chemical Society. He was a scholar, as were all the Founders….Remaining in New York for a time, Fra Cole moved to San Francisco whence he reportedly went to the Orient and spent the latter part of his life in China.

In response to student deaths and injuries related to hazing and student organization functions, House Bill 2639/Senate Bill 1138 was enacted by the 80th Texas Legislature. The bill requires faculty advisors and members of student organizations to undergo "Risk Management Training" that must deal with the following elements:
The PowerPoint audio/video presentation "Risk Management Strategies for Student Organizations" satisfies these training requirements. (You also can view
slides (PDF - 4.8MB) of the presentation.)
Faculty advisors and members of student organizations
must attend risk management training beginning the fall of 2008. All members of student organizations must be informed when the training is to occur or informed of how to meet training requirements.
Records of attendance must be maintained for 3 years. Use the
RMSSO Attendance Record (PDF - 31KB), or any other suitable recording method, to record members who have received the training.
