Ozone hole
The annual Antarctic ozone hole mapped for us by satellites is a grim symbol of our atmosphere's fragile complexity: supposedly harmless chemicals emitted by spray cans and discarded refrigerators ended up ravaging the thin layer of stratospheric ozone that protects all life on Earth from deadly ultraviolet radiation.
Surprise in the stratosphere
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are gases once widely used in industry as coolants and propellants, prized for their stable and non-polluting nature. But CFCs turned out to circulate throughout the globe and some made it up as high as the stratosphere. Safely inert at lower altitudes, they were broken up at these scanty heights by intense ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
The chlorine liberated from CFCs then turned out to be highly reactive with the stratospheric ozone layer that is mainly concentrated between 25 and 35 km up and which blocks this harmful ultraviolet from reaching the Earth' surface.
Excess ultraviolet exposure causes skin cancer, cataracts and immune system damage in humans, and injures animals, plants and even microscopic phytoplankton. A single chlorine molecule has a devastating effect, taking apart ozone molecule after ozone molecule.
Coming of the ozone holes
The 1987 Montreal Protocol banned the production and use of CFCs, but too late to stop a mammoth 28 million square km ozone hole opening over Antarctica each spring. Scientists predict another ozone hole will eventually open over the Arctic, already the site of seasonal ozone thinning, as the extreme winter cold of both regions accelerates ozone destruction.
ESA Earth observation spacecraft have been maintaining a regular census of global stratospheric ozone levels since 1995, mapping ozone holes as they appear.
Space-based atmospheric instruments can also map concentrations of ozone-thinning chemicals down to a few parts per million, their near real time results the basis of global ultraviolet intensity forecasts as well as casting light on the complex chemical processes causing ozone destruction.

Scenic Rivanna: It's official
One of the many bills passed by the General Assembly this year was SB957, which adds nearly 10 miles of the Rivanna River below the South Fork dam to the state's list of scenic rivers. The demise of the Woolen Mills dam aided the designation, because scenic rivers can't be impeded, nor can another dam be built, says Southern Environmental Law's Kay Slaughter, who pushed for the official stamp.

Don't think the people downstream from the South Fork Dam, along Pen Park and further down, have a clue how bad it's going to be if Ann is right and the water authority diverts water from the Rivanna into their $100 million dollar electricity fed pipe to Ragged Mt. Reservoir. This is a crazy costly idea that finally people are catching onto. Greg, I wouldn't call the Sierra Club, Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Board, Albemarle Citizens for a Sustainable Population, 6 City Neighborhoods and hundreds who signed petitions a small group of folks--think you're outnumbered.
Were the promised trees and shrubs ever planted? I'd heard at the time the people who tore down the dam were going to do some remediation on the abutting parcels along the river, but haven't heard anything since.
Yes! Another experiment that just did not work out. From "Dam Breach drops Rivanna, slowly" cited above is the following exerpt which is just not happening. Thousands of cubic feet of sediment and that 10 million gallons of Moore Creek effluent must be discouraging the river critters. God help them during a drought when the enviornmental releases for to 1.3 MGD at the SFRR dam.
Once freed from the dam's constraints, the Rivanna River is going to reshape its flow, predicts Alan Weaver from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. After the initial drop, the river level will rise again and clean out some of the debris that's resurfacing, says Weaver, pointing to a shopping cart. In the fall and spring, trees and shrubs will be planted along the river.
Joining the shad will be the American eel, which hosts freshwater mussels, says Weaver. ââ?¬Å?Reopening 16 miles on the Rivanna may not sound like a lot," says Weaver, ââ?¬Å?but it helps restore the habitat."
Greg, Removing the dam at South Fork is that what you're advocating?
Still no Shad.
Hope SELC also care what will happen to the Rivanna if millions of gallons are sucked out of it and diverted to Ragged Mt. Reservoir under the water authority plan.
Right Richard guess this experiment didn't work. This happened in 2006

400,000 baby shad poured in Rivanna
by Hawes Spencer
Schoolchildren with buckets helped pour about 400,000 shad hatchlings into the Rivanna River yesterday, an event that presages the impending demolition of the Woolen Mills dam, an effort to give back to the American shad its hisoric spawning waters.According to WINA radio, the tiny fish have been marked with a chemical on their ear bones that identifies them as hatchery-born, and the re-stocking was co-sponsored by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and the Rivanna Conservation Society.
As previously reported in the Hook, the Society has long lobbied to breach the 1830 Woolen Mills dam so the shad can return to spawning waters it hasn't seen in nearly 200 years. However, the demolition plan ignited a fierce debate over the change to the Rivanna River and whether the shad will truly gain much new territory. Demo proponents say the claims are all wet.
You're mixing apples and oranges. If those opposed to the water supply plan were genuine in there concern for the Rivanna River and the environment, they would not be so concerned with the Rivanna Reservoir returning to its natural state- that being a river and not a reservoir....granted, most agree that some dredging of the SFRR is be necessary for water supply purposes. Furthermore, they would also acknowledge that the approved plan would also let natural flow return to the Mechums River.
The small group of anti-water supply plan citizens' claims are far from environmental....
Hey Guys,
Consider this, please. The Rivanna River Basin Commission has a theory called "Legacy Sediment". The Nature Conservancy actually came up with it but the RRBC (their shill organization) is spreading it as gospel with the stamp of governmental approval.
But the Chair of the RRBC is Sally Thomas (Sediment Sal). She is in favor of letting the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir fill with sediment. No dredging now. Our grandchildren will have to deal with it.
So I guess that Sediment Sal is leaving all that sediment as her legacy!

Dalsa shareholders approve acquisition by Teledyne Technologies
Updated Feb. 14: Teledyne Technologies Incorporated and Dalsa Corporation announced Feb. 14 that they completed Teledyne's acquisition of Dalsa. Dalsa shares will be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange on or about February 17, 2011. Dalsa will also apply to cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable Canadian securities laws.
Previously the companies announced Feb. 10 that Dalsa received the requisite shareholder approvals for Teledyne's $337 million (CAD) common stock purchase of Dalsa. More than 87.5% of DALSA's shareholders were represented in person or by proxy at the shareholder meeting, and over 99.9% of the securities voted at the Meeting were voted in favor of the special resolution approving the deal, the companies said. The acquisition was announced Dec. 22, 2010. DALSA shareholders will receive CAD $18.25 in cash for each outstanding Dalsa common share.
"Teledyne and Dalsa are each acknowledged leaders in digital imaging technology but our product lines and customer bases are almost entirely complementary. For example, Dalsa produces among the world's most advanced visible light imaging sensors and cameras for commercial applications, while Teledyne produces extreme resolution infrared sensors and subsystems primarily for government applications," said Dr. Robert Mehrabian, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teledyne.
"The combined strengths of Teledyne's and Dalsa's leading imaging technologies will allow us to develop new infrared and visible light products that serve our respective markets and customers. Furthermore, DALSA's custom MEMS capabilities will be augmented by having access to Teledyne's extensive MEMS research activities and advanced process technologies," Mehrabian said.
The acquisition has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies, and the transaction received early termination of the waiting period required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.
Dalsa's application to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) to obtain the final order approving the Arrangement is scheduled for Friday, February 11, 2011. Assuming court approval is obtained and that all other conditions to the Arrangement are satisfied or waived, the Arrangement is expected to become effective on or about February 12, 2011. Delisting of Dalsa's common shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange is expected to occur on or about February 17, 2011.
Headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, Dalsa provides high-performance digital imaging and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with approximately 1,000 employees worldwide. Established in 1980, Dalsa designs, develops, manufactures and markets digital imaging products and solutions, in addition to manufacturing custom MEMS products. Imaging products and services include high-resolution, high-performance CCD and CMOS imaging sensors, electronic digital cameras and image processing software for use in industrial machine vision, advanced medical imaging and high resolution aerial and satellite imagery. For the 12 months ended Sept. 30, 2010, Dalsa had sales of approximately CAD $201 million, the companies said.
"With the acquisition of Dalsa, Teledyne is making a substantial commitment to Canada. We are especially attracted to strong support for research and development and advancement of technology provided by both the Canadian Federal and Provincial Governments of Ontario and Quebec. Finally, following the acquisition of DALSA, and the previously announced divestiture of Teledyne Continental Motors, Teledyne will be transformed into a pure-play electronics, instrumentation and engineering focused company," Mehrabian said.
"I view this transaction as a natural evolution for DALSA and a positive development for all DALSA stakeholders including shareholders, employees, executives, local communities, customers and vendors," commented Dr. Savvas Chamberlain, Chairman of the Board and Founder of DALSA. "The decision to be a part of a larger organization recognizes that in order for DALSA to become a billion dollar company, we need to team up with an industry leader with complementary technologies. Finally, as the founder of the company, I am pleased to see DALSA's name live on, in its new incarnation as Teledyne DALSA."
"Being part of the Teledyne team will provide many opportunities for accelerated growth for Dalsa," said Brian Doody, Chief Executive Officer of Dalsa. "I am looking forward to working with my existing management and executive team, along with the Teledyne team, as we move forward together in the next stage of the company's development. As envisioned in the agreement with Teledyne, our principal operations will continue to function in their existing locations. Moreover, Teledyne expects to continue to invest in our technology and business."

WHSAA Inks Webcast Agreement
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (September 10, 2013) — The Wyoming High School Activities Association (WHSAA) is one of 32 members of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) that has joined the NFHS Network, the new all-digital network devoted to coverage of high school sports and performing arts through the Internet at www.NFHSnetwork.com.
The NFHS, in association with PlayOn! Sports (PlayOn), announced the official launch of the NFHS Network on August 1. With coverage of boys and girls sports and activities initially in at least 32 states during the 2013-14 school year, the NFHS Network becomes the largest aggregated destination for coverage of high school sports in the country. Through a subscription-based digital service available at www.NFHSnetwork.com, more students, parents and fans will be able to watch high school sports than ever before.
In addition to the WHSAA, NFHS member associations in the following states have finalized agreements and will be a part of the NFHS Network as the 2013-14 season begins: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
In addition, member associations in a number of other states are close to completing agreements and are expected to join the NFHS Network soon.
"We believe this is one of the greatest opportunities in the 94-year history of the NFHS as we are able to take advantage of new technology and showcase high school sports and performing arts on a national scale," said Bob Gardner, NFHS executive director. "We are excited to provide viewership opportunities for fans of high school sports that have never existed before. The NFHS Network will help showcase our primary mission of expanding participation and opportunities for involvement in education-based interscholastic sports and performing arts activities."
"The WHSAA is excited to be able to take advantage of this technology opportunity. The NFHS Network allows a small state to be able to showcase our students and programs, and provide the same coverage as the larger states," said Ron Laird, Commissioner of the WHSAA.
Postseason games in all sports sponsored by the WHSAA will be available online on the Network. Viewing opportunities for NFHS Network events will be posted in the coming months at www.NFHSnetwork.com.
The NFHS Network will build on the past success of PlayOn's high-quality coverage of high school sports at the state level. PlayOn currently streams nearly 30,000 events per school year and has worked with 32 state associations and sections in 26 states.
"Teaming up with the NFHS is a natural progression to build a truly national high school sports platform while honoring the local communities that support them," said David Rudolph, PlayOn! Sports chief executive officer. "Our mission is to serve the current and future generations of student-athletes, support and encourage their participation and make their performances accessible to their friends, family and fans on every media platform they use."
The NFHS Network is a joint venture between the NFHS and PlayOn! Sports and will be governed and overseen by a combination of NFHS and PlayOn executives.
"Ultimately, we want to make the NFHS Network the most treasured and trusted source for high school athletics," Gardner said.

It's not surprising that Liberal leadership talk has heated up a bit heading into this week's convention. No one is organizing to take Paul out (not enough MacBeth readers among leadership candidates) as most are willing to look past his disappointing tenure as PM and remember his years of undivided and unquestionable loyalty. Ha ha. No, seriously, I expect he'll get a fairly good total at the leadership review since:
a) Most people who hate him are sitting on their hands and out of the party
b) Most serious leadership candidates were disgusted with the plotting to take out Chretien and won't challenge him
c) The party is in an unstable situation with the minority government
d) I doubt they'll even count the ballots. David Herle's already picked the number in his mind and that's what will be announced.
But, despite this, there will no doubt be a few whispers in the hospitality sweets about the "next one". This week, we saw Peter C. Newman toot Michael Ignatieff's name which is interesting because that's about a serious a suggestion as Justin Trudeau. We've also seen the leadership contenders snipping among themselves over John Manley's "shocking" claims that *gasp* the best candidate, regardless of language, should be chosen.
For those handicapping the field, these would be the favourites, as I see it, with their Vegas odds in brackets:
John Manley (7-2): The Chretien team likes him and he's had a wide range of Cabinet portfolios, having done well in almost all of them. OK, OK, so he's not exactly Mr.Charisma and Paul's inner circle is still aghast that he would have the nerve to question the Liberal party's membership rules (Liberal Party of Canada in Alberta slogan: "There are too many Liberal Party members in Alberta!").
Frank "We've already joined missile defense" McKenna (6-1): One blogger dubbed him "our very own Paul Cellucci". But, hey, a lot of the Martinites like him and he could be the man to deliver those 2 seats in New Brunswick the Liberals are missing.
Martin Cauchon (6-1): Will definitely run. Believes it's the turn of a francophone. Some delegates might feel it's time for a candidate who can at least match Gilles Ducceppe's English skills. His pro-gay marriage and pro-pot time in justice will make him a winner in Quebec.
Scott Brison (8-1): The sleeper pick of the field. I think Canadians will accept an openly gay Prime Minister. But I'm not sure they'd accept and openly Tory one.
Brian Tobin (10-1): Holds the record for most references to cod fish ever in a political memoir.
Joe Volpe (15-1): He's a conniving little SOB who won't be afraid to take over ridings, strong-arm the competition and have the mafia "disappear" his rivals. Will do well in the GTA which could make him a king-maker.
Maurizio Bevilacqua (15-1): Maurizio Who? Don't underestimate this guy.
Ken Dryden (15-1): Paul Wells' description of this guy as an Ent is all too fitting. If he'd run 5 years sooner and surrounded himself with political advisors, he'd be unstoppable. He's been deflecting shots from right-wingers from years and who else can bring Habs and Leafs fans together? Besides, it's almost unbelievable that Canada hasn't had a hockey player as Prime Minister yet.
Others: Pierre Pettigrew (nice hair, but too incompetent), Dennis Corderre (see Pierre Pettigrew comment, minus the nice hair), Sheila Copps (remember her?), Anne McLellan (could be the token female and token Western candidate), David Emerson...

Conservapedia insights
From Conservapedia
This is a growing list of Conservapedia insights, which includes items recognized or emphasized here well before recognition by an official agency, by liberals, or by the general public:
- Conservapedia has long observed the implausibility of, and inconsistency in, Barack Obama's claims to have converted to Christianity. On September 7, 2008, Obama referred to his "Muslim faith" in a nationally televised interview.[2][3]
- Conservapedia developed and sent a Letter to PNAS that identified five (5) specific flaws to a paper it published by Richard Lenski and others. The Lenski paper had been in peer review for no more than a mere 14 days prior to its publication by PNAS. More than a month after the flaws was publicly posted on Conservapedia, there was still no adequate explanation of the flaws, or corrections made. The Letter to PNAS was officially accepted by PNAS's electronic submission system in a form substantially similar to its presentation here.
- Conservapedia has long observed that girls are injured in sports at much higher rates than boys, and how liberals denial or downplay it.[1] Finally, on May 11, 2008, the New York Times recognized this fact by finally admitting that a girl's soccer team "with 18 players, had suffered eight A.C.L. tears — eight — during her high-school years. ... The rate of concussions sustained by high school girls who play soccer is 1.5 times the rate for boys who play soccer."[2]
- On Jan. 27, 2008, Conservapedia criticized Harvard's decision to have J.K. Rowling as its commencement speaker shortly after she catered to the homosexual agenda.[3] Over three months later and as the commencement day approached, the Harvard newspaper (the "Crimson") published a similar criticism: "A petty pop culture personality of questionable permanence will send us on our merry way, while figures of real substance wait in the wings."[4] "Our commencement speaker tricked parents into letting their kids read books filled with sex, murder, and homosexual role models."[4]
- Conservapedia first recognized the liberal push for an Affirmative Action President. On Feb. 4, 2008, ten days after this entry appeared here, Michael Savage commented that, if elected, Barack Obama will be the first Affirmative Action President, as he has such a small amount of political (or military) experience.[5] On March 10, 2008, an article is posted on myMaineToday.com entitled, "Are We Ready For An Affirmative Action President?"[6] On March 11, 2008, John Harwood published an article on CNBC's website entitled, "Obama: Affirmative Action Candidate?!"[7] On March 12, 2008, Joseph Farah, founder of Worldnetdaily.com, published a column entitled, "The affirmative-action president."[8]
- Conservapedia first recognized the remarkably high correlation between Hollywood figures and plight of breast cancer at a young age, which suggests that their lifestyle plays a role in increasing the likelihood of that tragic disease.[9]
- Conservapedia first noted that the number of new conservative terms doubles by century. What began as a qualitative and approximate observation, developed into a perfect pattern when several Conservapedia editors took the time to explore the topic more carefully. This is a special case of the more general Conservapedia Law, which states that the number of conservative insights increases over time at a geometric rate.
- Conservapedia has noted that the theory of relativity cannot possibly be true, and has exposed that the theory is highly advocated by liberals who use it to promote moral relativism. In particular, Conservapedia has noted several passages from the Bible that are at odds with relativity, like John 4:46-54.
- Conservapedia has discovered new instances of Biblical scientific foreknowledge. Not all the entries are Conservapedia originals, but some of them are. Examples include several cases of quantum mechanical knowledge in the Bible: the transformation of water into wine by Jesus may imply that the drink was in a superposition of water state and wine state, and the fact that Jesus appeared before his Apostles in a completely closed room in John 20:26 may be foreshadowing quantum tunnelling.
- Conservapedia has noted that the English language has been progressively secularized by liberals, homosexuals, atheists, evolutiionists and leftists, in an attempt to remove the Christian origins of our language. This secularization is actively supported by the lamestream media.
- Conservapedia is producing the only translation of the Bible completely free of liberal bias. Besides the inherent benefit of such a project, this translation has also shown that the best of the public usually produces higher quality work that the supposed experts, who for the most part are liberals.

Is this not akin to a -- an affirmative action election? Isn't that why the libs are hysterical, tripping over themselves to say amen and yes to this affirmative election vote?" Savage added, "America's not ready for an affirmative action presidency." [1]

The result reinforces the company's decision to build a new tower production facility in north-eastern Bahia state, where many of its clients will be building wind farms, said Wobben commercial director Eduardo Lopes.
"We maintained our clients and added some new ones", said Lopes, declining to give details as some contracts are still being finalised.
Brazilian power distributors bought a total of 2.3GW of wind power at the 13 December A-5 auction. This comes on top of some 900MW sold in the A-3 auction held in November and 1.5GW at the reserve auction held in August.
Although no deals were made in November, Wobben reportedly signed off about 150MW in turbines in August. The main clients were Enerfin (a susidiary of Spain's Elecnor) in southern Brazil and Brazilian developer Brennand in partnership with state power company Chesf.

Ichiro Suzuki, Hiroki Kuroda decide not to play in 2013 World Baseball Classic
TOKYO -- Ichiro Suzuki told Japanese baseball officials on Monday he has decided not to take part in next year's World Baseball Classic.
"I appreciate being asked to play for Japan again at the WBC," Suzuki said. "But after the second tournament in 2009 I never considered playing in the third event. My feelings have not changed to this day, and it's where things stand."
The 39-year-old Suzuki, who was instrumental in helping Japan win the WBC in 2006 and 2009, joins fellow Japanese major leaguers Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers and Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Norichika Aoki in opting out of the March 2-19 tournament.
Suzuki, a free agent, was traded from the Seattle Mariners to the New York Yankees in July. Yankees' pitcher Hiroki Kuroda, another free agent, also said Monday he would not play in the 2013 WBC.
Suzuki hit .322 in 67 games for the Yankees and was one of the team's most consistent hitters.
In the final of the 2009 WBC, Suzuki drove in the winning run with a line drive to center in the 10th inning as Japan beat South Korea 5-3 to claim its second straight title.
With many major league players opting out, Japan will likely field a team made up entirely of players from the domestic professional league.
Japan beat first-round WBC opponent Cuba in two exhibition games on the weekend by scores of 2-0 and 3-1 with players from the Central and Pacific leagues.
Japan opens defense of its WBC title on March 2 in Pool A in Fukuoka, Japan, where it will face Cuba, China and a yet-to-be-determined qualifier.

State Rep. Leo Berman ramped up his support today for a proposal that would challenge the concept of birthright citizenship for U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants with the hopes that passage of such a measure would trigger a federal lawsuit.
Speaking to a group of about 20 members of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps., Berman said if his proposal to prohibit automatic citizenship for U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants passes it would undoubtedly spark a court fight that he hopes lands in the U.S. Supreme Court.
"That's exactly what we're looking for," said Berman, R-Tyler. "We want to be sued into federal court where our attorney general can take this all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court."
Berman's argument is based on the notion that the 14th Amendment, which says all persons born in the U.S. shall be granted citizenship, does not "apply to foreigners."
"We hope that at some point and time some judge will say 'you're absolutely right. It doesn't apply to illegal aliens,'" Berman said.
So far, Berman has helped author at least eight bills aimed at illegal immigrants, including a measure that would create an 8 percent tax on the roughly $6 billion wired from Texas to Mexico, Central and South America. Berman is proposing that the money generated by the tax be earmarked toward border security and hospitals.
He's also filed a bill that would make English the official language of Texas and one that requires all illegal immigrants in Texas to move to "sanctuary cities," a term used for municipalities that do not target illegal immigrants.
Most recently, Berman made headlines for a heated exchange over his sanctuary city proposal, in which he told a Chinese-American lawyer to "go home" and "kiss his (expletive)" after a panel discussion on immigration.
At Monday's press conference on the South Steps of the Texas Capitol, Berman also made time to attack the federal government for what he characterized as their failure to protect Texans from illegal immigration.
"From Washington to Texas most representatives, most elected officials have their heads in the sand," he said. "They're saying this is a job the United States Congress has to do. Now you tell me what the United States Congress has done to protect Texans over the last five years, because they've done absolutely nothing."

Kernel Panics
This page describes how to repair a computer whose kernel panics at boot. This has to do with the very basic OS kernel and the first part of the boot routine. (For issues regarding graphical interface problems or program freeze-ups, etc., save yourself some wasted effort and time, and please look elsewhere.)
- 1 Definition
- 2 What To Do
- 3 Troubleshooting
- 4 Option 1: Check bootloader configuration
- 5 Option 2: Reinstall kernel
- 6 Reboot
A decent definition of Kernel Panic comes to us from Wikipedia, which states in part; "A kernel panic is an action taken by an operating system upon detecting an internal fatal error from which it cannot safely recover; the term is largely specific to Unix and Unix-like systems. The equivalent in Microsoft Windows operating systems is the Blue Screen of Death." Template:Wikipedia
What To Do
Basically, the problem is that the operating system doesn't start correctly. Various behavior may be expressed, such as that one may get the computer to freeze, or the operating system may give an error message of some sort or one may not go to the place they were expecting (Command prompt, Desktop or whathaveyou). This will require some basic troubleshooting from the command line, if you can boot to it, or from a boot disk if it will get you a command prompt or your favorite interface.
To make troubleshooting easier, ensure that the kernel is not in quiet mode. Remove 'quiet' from the kernel line in GRUB, if it is found there. Upon boot, check the output immediately before the panic, and decide whether there is any useful information. There are probably too many causes for a kernel panic to keep well-documented in this wiki. Make sure that your system's configuration in /boot is correct, and that none of the computer's hardware is faulty - it is good idea to run memtest from the Arch install/rescue CD or another utility (red entries are bad). If you believe the configuration in /boot may be erroneous, try Option 1 to repair your bootloader setup. If you believe the kernel panic is the fault of the kernel itself, follow Option 2 in order to reinstall the existing version or an earlier kernel.
Option 1: Check bootloader configuration
Another possibility is an error in the bootloader's configuration (e.g.
/boot/grub/menu.lst). For example, repartitioning hard drives can change partitions' order. GRUB users may recall whether repartitioning has occurred recently and make sure the root and kernel lines match up with the new partitioning scheme. And examine the file for typos and extraneous characters. An extra space, or a character in the wrong place will cause a kernel panic.
Option 2: Reinstall kernel
Reinstalling the kernel is probably the best bet when no other major system modifications have taken place recently.
Start from the installation CD
The first step is booting the installation CD. Once booted, do not select to login with "arch", like you would when installing arch. Instead, you'll first want to login with "root".
# root
Mount your partitions
When booted, you are in a minimal but functional live GNU/Linux environment with some basic tools. Now, you have to mount your normal root disk (or partition) to /mnt.
# mount /dev/sdXY /mnt
If you are using legacy IDE setup, then use the command:
# mount /dev/hdXY /mnt
If you use a separate boot partition, do not forget to mount it with:
# mount /dev/sdXZ /mnt/boot
Gather your files for later troubleshooting
This is a good point to stop and gather your information onto another drive or partition so that it can be analyzed and/or emailed for outside viewing before the files change again. Simply create a separate directory on your main partition or mount a usb drive to contain the files. Then you may copy any files you will need to keep unchanged during the next boot with your new kernel.
Chroot to your normal root
Now, you will have to chroot to the partition mounted in /mnt. Newer kernels use an initial ramdisk to set up the kernel environment: when you reinstall a kernel, that initial ramdisk will be regenerated with mkinitcpio. One of mkinitcpio's features is that it does autodetection to find out what kernel modules are required for starting up your computer. For this autodetection to work, /dev, /sys and /proc need to mounted in your chroot, make sure to read Change Root.
Roll back to previous kernel version
If you keep your downloaded pacman packages, you now can easily roll back. If you didn't keep them, you have to find a way to get a previous kernel version on your system now.
Let's suppose you kept the previous versions. We will now install the last working one.
First you need to get the kernel details.
# find /var/cache/pacman/pkg -name kernel26*
or when using the linux 3 kernels.
# find /var/cache/pacman/pkg -name linux-3*
Now use the kernel details in the command below.
# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel26-2.6.23.xx-x.pkg.tar.gz
(Of course, make sure that you adapt this line to your own kernel version. You can find the ones you still have in your cache by examining the directory above.)
Otherwise, check the install CD for a package. For example, the version 2008.06 i686 CD contains addons/core-pkgs/kernel26-188.8.131.52-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz.
Now is the time to reboot and see if the system modifications have stopped the panic. If reverting to an older kernel works, do not forget to check the arch-newspage to check what went wrong with the kernel build. If there is no mention of the problem there, then go to the bug reporting area and search for it there. If you still do not find it, open a new bug report and attach those files you saved during the troubleshooting step above.

A MERE EIGHTY years ago they used to 'duke it out' in neighborhood barns in Rochester,East Rochester, Somersworth South Berwick (Maine) and Biddeford (Maine). Boxing in the early 1930s was very prevalent — the 'sport of the day' you could say. Presumably prompted by big-time boxers of that particular era that featured such greats as Jack Sharkey, Primo Carnera, Max Baer, Max Schmelling and arguably the 'champion of champions ' none other than Joe Louis who won 26 career heavyweight titles — 16 by knockouts.
In addition, the pugilistic popularity was intensified by the weekly televised Friday night fights (Remember the Gillette commercials?) that emerged in the 1950s producing marquee boxers like Sugar Ray Robinson,T ony DeMarco, Kid Gavilan and Carmen Basilio to name a few.
Back to the barns. The boxing fever reached zenith proportions in the area. For example: (Dateline, East Rochester, Jan. 31, 1934, written by the late former Rochester Courier sports columnist Bernard E. Pooler) The headline: SERIES OF BOXING BOUTS HELD IN THE BARN OF WILLIS HAYES. Excerpts from the story read: "The popular fighting arena in young Willis Hayes' barn on Grove Street was the scene of some stirring fisticuffs action Saturday morning as spectators filled the barn to the limit to witness the bouts. Spectators all the way from ten to fifty years of age came early to watch their favorites in action."
"In the first bout of the morning, Chocolate Bon Bon Terry edged Wild Man Kenniston in a fast contest filled with some fast foot work. Both men came in at 80 pounds fleaweight class."
In those days the majority of the boxers used fictitious names. Others on the morning boxing card included Rip Van Cole and Dick Honey Boy Kenniston, Hambone Hayes (We assume this was "Red" Hayes) the ever-popular Rochester police officer who, in 1986, was inducted into the Lodge of Elks Sports Hall of Fame. He pounded out a decisive win over Laddie Lee Furbush in a battle for the red-head crown.
Hayes (1917-1986), won the New Hampshire middleweight boxing championship as a senior in high school in 1936 and repeated in 1937. He was also voted into the Strafford County Boxing Hall of Fame.
Speaking of local champions, perennial feather-weight contender Jerry Lamontagne of Rochester, won a grueling six-round bout against Somersworth's "Midget" St. Hilaire for the Maine-New Hampshire championship at Pepperell A. C. in Biddeford, Maine., in the early 1930s.
The match as reported by the Biddeford Journal: "Many were looking for St. Hilaire's right to upset Jerry as it did in their previous encounter, but Lamontagne flashed a right uppercut which landed with jarring effect that maneuvered St. Hilaire into position for a left hook effective enough for Lamontagne to claim the feather-weight title."
The Rochester native maintained a top rating among all New England boxers throughout his ten-year career, losing only two matches in 51 professional appearances and had an amateur record of 60-2. Lamontagne once held the N. H. and Canadian featherweight titles. He was inducted into the Rochester Hall of Fame in 1990.
FROM BOXING to bowling. Frank "Tug" Shaw , Hank Crawford, George Nau, Roy Patten and Bill Palmer represented the Rochester Lodge of Elks participating in the National Elks Bowling tournament in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in the early 1970s. The Ten-Pin quintet won the Southeastern championship out of the Dover Bowl. The team is believed to be the first Elks representation from New England to compete in a National tournament ... Also in 1970, Sharon Veilleux and Jon Robidas of Rochester won the Ten-Pin Southeastern New Hampshire Junior Bowling championships in the Bantam class. Amazingly, the two nine-year olds had only been bowling for one year. Veilleux and Robidas rolled games of 992 and 965, respectively, to win the all-events competition over 40 other junior bowlers ... And at the then Bowlaway Alleys on South Main Street in Rochester in 1947, Rene Soucy topped the field of 64 bowlers. Fred Comfort was runner-up while Louis Archambault won the high five-string total (600) and the high single (156) in the candlepin competition.
SAVING THE BEST for last. On March 19, 1964, Rochester's Larry Edgerly broke the unofficial world candlepin record at the Bowlaway Alleys, rolling a string of 213. He bowled three consecutive strikes in the seventh, eight and ninth frames with ten in the tenth, two points above the world record. It was only a week prior that the then official record of 207, which was held for four years, was broken by Jerry Morneau (211) of Mexico, Maine. In order for the record to be official, approval has to be determined by the length and width of the alley, depth of the gutters, weight of the balls and whether the foul light was on and if a lob judge was present.
SPAULDING HIGH'S Marcel Huppe set a new 45-yard high hurdles record of under five seconds in 1952 winning the event at the state indoor meet in Exeter. Huppe, who was the first athlete inducted into the Elks Hall of Fame in 1985, also ran second in the 40-yard dash. The talented athlete also was a bruising running back on the Red Raider football team.
Born in Lowell, Mass., on Nov. 25, 1933, Huppe moved to Laconia in 1936 attending Sacred Heart school in 1940. He moved to Rochester the same year went to Holy Rosary school and later to Spaulding Junior High and graduated from Spaulding High in 1954. He enlisted in the Army in 1955, served 16 months in Korea and was honorably discharged in 1957. After managing a gas station on the Milton Road, he later was a meat cutter in Manchester. In 1970 Huppe moved to Chicago, Ill., worked for the Shriners and died in Chicago on June 16, 1974. He was 41. Huppe's family included three brothers, Armand, Roland and Leo, and a sister, Estelle Talon. The parents were Gedeon and Amelia Huppe.
Life-long Rochester resident and sports historian Lee Sanfacon's "do You Remember When ..." column will appear occasionally in the Rochester Times.

Identifying symptoms on plants are often the first indication that they are affected by a virus disease. This 2 CD-ROM set provides an international collection of color images of virus symptoms and other associated images that emphasize virus disease symptoms and information on identification, epidemiology, losses, and control. Virus symptoms are specifically emphasized and much of the information on field identification is not available in other sources. Most of the information on plant resistance is not easily available as well, especially across several viruses affecting a single plant. VIRUS DISEASES OF PLANTS is a unique compilation that will be invaluable to educators, scientists, students, growers, and other agribusiness personnel.
VIRUS DISEASES of PLANTS: Image Database Collection CD-ROM contains 1,218 images of symptoms, vectors, viruses, viroids, and also diseases that might be confused with viruses, across a broad range of more than 120 host plants. Each image contains information about the current scientific classification of the virus based on the 8th Report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses. Names of viruses from images in older APS Compendia have been updated and the newest literature information has been incorporated. Scientists currently working on the crop viruses have written the captions for the images and assisted in editing the compilation.
VIRUS DISEASES of PLANTS: Grapevine, Potato, and Wheat Image Collection and Teaching Resource CD-ROM contains an image collection of virus diseases of grapevine, potato, and wheat, plus teaching resources on these crops. More than 430 images are integrated with information about the disease symptoms, epidemiology, causal virus(es), diagnosis, and management. An audiovisual component for each set contains audio narration synchronized with slide shows of all the images. These shows, about forty minutes long each, are designed for classroom presentation or for individual study. The images on both VIRUS DISEASES of PLANTS CD-ROM's are searchable by virus, virus genus or family, plant, symptom, vector, or other words in the captions. The caption for each image contains the symptom description, disease name, virus name, host plant, and image contributor. The images may be easily exported for use in custom presentations and slide shows.
Color images of virus disease symptoms with descriptions – A unique image collection of virus symptoms of grapevine, potato, and wheat that would be nearly impossible for an individual to collect and catalog. Each image provides a caption that includes a description of the picture, host, virus or agent name, disease name, and contributor.
Grapevine, potato, and wheat images are supported by extensive written texts and audiovisual presentations - The written components are integrated with the images and describe not only the disease symptoms but also disease impact and distribution, virus identification and epidemiology, and virus and vector management. The wheat set is new while the grapevine and potato sets are significantly revised with extensive new text, and images. The text is printable and has thumbnail images incorporated into it where each image is mentioned. Thumbnail images in the text can be expanded to full screen for better views of the symptom details. An extensive list of literature citations is included.
Many different types of virus symptoms are included - This comprehensive collection allows scientists, educators, students and agriculturalists to review many different symptom types caused by viruses or to review specific symptom types. A number of symptoms not caused by viruses are included for comparison. Images are searchable by various key words and can be exported into unique collections for specific uses – The images are searchable by key words such as virus name or family, symptom type, vector, common and scientific name of host, and many other terms. Allows use in custom PowerPoint™ presentations and teaching handouts. Publication on a CD-ROM allows high quality image resolution with maximum search capability.
"The editors and APS Press merit congratulations on making available this highly useful compendium and image database collection to plant protection specialists and advisors as well as to university students."—Journal of Plant Protection Research

Editorial: Apple's demand for 50 percent of news and magazine revenue is either bold or very foolish
02/14/2019, 10:02 am
It's believed that if you're a publisher signing up to the forthcoming Apple news and magazine service, you will have to agree that the company keeps half the revenue from the service, and pays out the other half in aggregate to all publishers. If that's true, it's either going to give publishers a great deal more money than they had before, or force further painful contraction in the industry to the benefit of nobody but Apple.

TALLAHASSEE — Florida House Speaker Will Weatherford announced Friday that he will order hearings this fall on the state's "stand your ground" law, a victory for the young protesters known as the Dream Defenders who have spent the past two weeks protesting at the Capitol. "It's a critical first step," said Phillip Agnew, executive director of the Dream Defenders. "We've been here for three weeks. We know Democracy takes time. Progress takes time."
They shouldn't celebrate too hard. Weatherford assigned the task of chairing the hearings to a staunch supporter of the law, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fort Walton Beach. "I don't support changing one damn comma of the stand your ground law," Gaetz said Friday. "It would be reactionary and dangerous to make Floridians less safe to pacify uninformed protesters." Gaetz, the 31-year-old son of Senate President Don Gaetz, talks tough on crime. He passed a bill this year that expedited death row cases and has been known for pushing conservative causes popular in his Panhandle district. He expects the hearings to draw national attention, and he says he's ready for the debate.
"I want to have hearings, it's a good idea," Gaetz said. "Right now, the only voices on stand your ground are coming from the radical left. I want an opportunity to give a full-throated defense of the law." He said he's not sure when he'll hold the hearings, how long they'll last, or how they'll be structured. But he said his bias shouldn't deter those holding out hope that hearings can lead to changes in the law. "Bills I don't support occasionally pass my committee," he said.
Weatherford agreed to the hearings in an op-ed published Friday. "Our evaluation of its effectiveness should be guided by objective information, not by political expediency," he wrote. "Does the law keep the innocent safer? Is it being applied fairly? Are there ways we can make this law clearer and more understandable."
The announcement falls short of what the Dream Defenders want — a special session of the Legislature. But it's the biggest commitment to date by Republican leaders to review the controversial law. Some have blamed stand your ground for the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Gov. Rick Scott has refused to ask for a special session, as have Weatherford and Senate President Gaetz. Meanwhile, Democrats are writing letters trying to trigger a poll of the Legislature on whether to hold the special session. It's considered a long shot — 96 lawmakers need to request the session.
Agnew said he wanted to know more about the hearings, but he said he was cautiously optimistic. Already, his group has been recording testimony from experts and those affected by stand your ground laws during meetings in Scott's office. That testimony will be present during the hearings, Agnew said. Except for a 30-minute meeting held last month, Scott hasn't met with the group.
"The hearings will be an opportunity for people to discuss the laws," Agnew said. "We will hope for the best and prepare for the worst."

Policing Belief: The Impact of Blasphemy Laws on Human Rights
Policing Belief: The Impact of Blasphemy Laws on Human Rights examines the human rights implications of domestic blasphemy and religious insult laws using the case studies of seven countries—Algeria, Egypt, Greece, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan and Poland—where such laws exist both on paper and in practice. Without exception, blasphemy laws violate the fundamentalfreedom of expression, as they are by definition intended to protect religious institutions and religious doctrine– i.e., abstract ideas and concepts – from insult or offence. At their most benign, such laws lead to self-censorship. In Greece and Poland, two of the more democratic countries examined in the study, charges brought against high-profile artists, curators and writers serve as a warning to others that certain topics are off limits. At their worst, in countries such as Pakistan and Malaysia, such laws lead to overt governmental censorship and individuals are both prosecuted and subject to severe criminal penalties including lengthy jail sentences.

After a great deal of sabre-rattling on both sides, the Australian PGA has struck a compromise with billionaire eccentric Clive Palmer, owner of the Palmer Coolum resort, to ensure that the association's annual championship goes ahead as planned.
The viability of the event was called into question by a series of bizarre local initiatives, including plans to scatter 161 life-size dinosaur models throughout the property, paint advertisements directly onto fairways and festoon the venue with billboard advertising for Palmer's latest film production, Titanic II ("100 years later, lightning strikes twice").

3 ways to find a wall stud
We've all been there, right? "Oh, I just need to find a stud to hang this picture" and fifteen holes later you're convinced the wall is held up by pixie dust and a wish, because apparently there's no wood behind it.
As anyone who knows me will tell you, I will jump at any opportunity to buy a new tool — like I need to hang a picture, I have a bee sting, or it's Tuesday. Really, it doesn't take much. But, I have a rule about only buying tools that really work and I happen to think of stud finders the same way I do ghost detectors…exciting for the five seconds that they are beeping and a total let down after that.
After months of framing the big addition to my current house, I now have a good enough understanding of the structure of a wall to help me find studs whenever I need to.
Things you should know about walls
• Studs exist to hold up drywall on interior walls and wood sheathing on exterior walls. This means you will always find a stud, header, or footer on the top, bottom, or corners of walls.
• Typical stud spacing is 16″ on center and even on older houses is rarely greater than 24″ on center.
• Most electrical boxes for switches or outlets are attached to a stud on one side.
• There are studs on either side of a window.
• Most trim (crown molding, base board, and shoe molding) is nailed on the stud.
• The actual lumber dimensions of 2×4 studs are 1.5″ by 3.5″.
Keeping these points in mind, here are the ways I've been most successful at finding studs:
1. Look at the Trim
Since the baseboard is attached to the studs, look to see if you can spot where it might have been nailed. These holes — dimples — are generally filled with caulk and painted, but you may be able to spot one to identify the whereabouts of a stud. If you find one, measure in 16″ increments to locate the additional studs.
2. Use the Switch
If I don't have any luck checking out the trim I look for switches or outlets, knowing that at least one side of an electrical box will be mounted on a stud. Now, I'm not great at doing the "knock test" on the wall, but I can usually detect from tapping which side of the outlet bears the stud support. I then measure about 3/4″ away from the outlet on the stud side and use that as my starting point to determine the 16″ intervals.
3. Measure from the Corner
With studs generally 16″ on center, you can also do calculations by measuring from a corner of the room. Now, all rooms aren't built in numbers divisible by 16″ so you are likely to have a stud that is less than 16″ from one corner. Try the "knock test" near the corner to see if you can determine where the shorter stud-spacing might have been added. This only really works if you're measuring a corner off the exterior of the house, which is why it is my least favorite. But it's worth a shot before you go crazy with the test holes.
Builder Tip: if you're in the position of building your own house or have torn the drywall off some walls for a remodel, I strongly suggest taking pictures of the walls before closing everything up. I took interior shots of every wall in my house before the drywall went up and I reference them all the time when looking for studs.

Our success depends on the quality of care provided to each and every patient. Our expert team of physicians, nurses, therapists, case managers and hospital staff is committed to providing safe, quality and cost-effective care to all patients. We strive to help every patient maximize their potential and exceed their expectations.
HealthSouth's rehabilitation hospitals comply with local, state and federal regulations as well as the accreditation standards of The Joint Commission.
In addition to the required standards, many of our hospitals' rehabilitation programs have earned Disease-Specific Care Certification from The Joint Commission. This means the hospital complies with the highest national standards for safety and quality of care for one particular disorder, such as stroke, brain injury or diabetes. Learn more about Disease-Specific Care Certification. Also, some hospitals have elected to become accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
HealthSouth's Clinical Leadership Board provides oversight for our nationwide network of hospitals. The Board's mission is to ensure that each hospital has the information, education and resources needed to provide care that is both clinically and operationally excellent. This board includes national representatives from each clinical discipline and is led by HealthSouth Chief Medical Officer Dexanne B. Clohan, M.D.
The goal of every team member is to help our patients meet their maximum independence and enhance their quality of life. To measure our patients' progress, we use the FIM® instrument to track our patients' improvement. Developed by Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation (UDSMR®), the FIM® instrument is the industry's most widely recognized outcomes measurement tool. There is no such database for nursing homes.
The UDSMR® system:
HealthSouth hospitals consistently rank in the top 10 percent of all inpatient rehabilitation hospitals in the UDSMR® database. These hospitals are recognized for delivering effective, efficient, timely and patient-centered care.
We work hard to set the highest standards for patient care by protecting privacy, listening to needs and respecting preferences. We have enlisted Press Ganey, one of the nation's leading healthcare research firms, to continually measure our patients' perception of their experience in our hospitals. With Press Ganey patient surveys, as well as other collected data, we are better able to evaluate our patient experience and help patients reach their goals for maximum independence.

Q: Is there anything I can do to keep my koi safe from the heat?
Shalini – Brinkley, AR
A: Baby, it certainly is hot outside! As the temperatures rise, you might think the coolest place to be is in the pond with your fish. Surprisingly, however, pond fish can feel the heat, too. The warm water feels "stuffy" to them because it contains less oxygen than cooler water. Check out these four tips for keeping your koi and goldfish cool as finned cucumbers.
1. Check your Water Temperature: Ideally, your pond's water temperature should be at a comfortable 70 degrees Fahrenheit or less. Use the Pond Logic® Floating Pond Thermometer to check the pond's temp, and if it's too warm, do a partial water change to give the fish some fresh, cool water.
2. Top Off the Pond: Even if your pond's water temperature is hovering near that 70 degree zone, it's a good idea to keep an eye on your pond's water level and add more when needed. When the mercury rises, remember that your water will evaporate more quickly into the atmosphere.
3. Create Shady Spots: Just as you seek out shady spots to shield yourself from the sun's rays, fish will do the same to keep themselves cool – and prevent themselves from getting sunburned! Be sure to provide floating plants, water lilies and other types of shade cover for your pond pets. Have fun with it! Add some tropical lilies like the Panama Pacific, tropical bog plants like the Red Canna or other hot-weather plants that prefer the warmer weather.
4. Provide Aeration: Do you like sitting by the fan or swamp cooler during heat waves like this one? Well, an underwater bubbler or aeration system, such as the Airmax® PondAir™ Aeration System, is like a fan to fish. The cooler water that's loaded with oxygen is easier for the fish to breathe.
While the heat waves persist this summer, follow these tips to ensure your fish stay cool and comfortable in their watery home. They'll thank you for it!

This is getting ridiculous. Now there's an ongoing sex abuse case within Zen Buddhism.
Joshu Sasaki Roshi, the founder and Abbot of Rinzai-ji is now 105 years old, and he has engaged in many forms of inappropriate sexual relationship with those who have come to him as students since his arrival here more than 50 years ago. His career of misconduct has run the gamut from frequent and repeated non-consensual groping of female students during interview, to sexually coercive after hours "tea" meetings, to affairs and sexual interference in the marriages and relationships of his students. Many individuals that have confronted Sasaki and Rinzai-ji about this behaviour have been alienated and eventually excommunicated, or have resigned in frustration when nothing changed; or worst of all, have simply fallen silent and capitulated. For decades, Joshu Roshi's behaviour has been ignored, hushed up, downplayed, justified, and defended by the monks and students that remain loyal to him.
There's something about being granted supernatural authority founded on claims that cannot be tested or supported with evidence that allows the nastiest side of some people's psyche to run unchecked, isn't there?

Here is a great reference for your liberal and blinded friends (but I repeat myself) who believe that:
1) our government should even be involved in "healthcare" and
2) Obamacare will LOWER premiums.
The news is not good, but entirely anticipated by those opposed to this PARTISAN piece of government control.
Based on a Manhattan Institute analysis of the HHS numbers, Obamacare will increase underlying insurance rates for younger men by an average of 97 to 99 percent, and for younger women by an average of 55 to 62 percent. Worst off is North Carolina, which will see individual-market rates triple for women, and quadruple for men.

Greater London Pensioners Association: Fuel Poverty Demo. Westfield. Stratford.
The latest gas and electricity price rises are a nail in many coffins. 65 people died every day last winter as a result of illnesses caused by cold homes. Many of these people were pensioners and disabled people. As energy company prices – and profits – soar, there will be many more deaths this year.
If we can't afford to heat our homes we have a right to go into any warm building and make ourselves at home!
– We have the right to warm up inside the offices of those driving fuel poverty: the Big Six en
ergy companies, the government, landlords and letting agents.
– We have the right to warm up inside public spaces threatened by cuts including libraries and day centres, which keep many people warm throughout the winter.
– We have the right to warm up inside warm, privatised spaces that keep us shut out including shops, banks and shopping centres.
Pensioners from the Greater London Pensioners' Association will be asserting this right by coming out of their cold homes and warming up inside the toasty Westfield Stratford shopping centre.
They demand:
– That the government reinstate the Winter Fuel Allowance in full (this has been cut by £50 for those over 60 and £100 for those over 80.)
– That the energy companies reinvest in affordable, cleaner and safer energy supplies and use their enormous profits to do so, instead of putting the cost on to the consumer.
– That the government acknowledge an entitlement of all including the sick, disabled people, the elderly and families with young children, to a well insulated, warm place to live in good repair.
Please come along to support this pensioner-led action. Meet at 12 noon, outside the upper entrance to Primark (near the Disney Store).
The action is being supported by Fuel Poverty Action.

Finally removed from Westfield Shopping Centre, outside in the bitter cold, they decided to end the demo and they will be back.
