This will increase the number of 10GW-level wind-power bases from eight to 10 in China.
Heilongjiang, northeast China, will have 31.48GW total installed capacity. The wind farms will be based in Daqing city, Dumeng county, Lindian county, and Fuyu county, west Heilongjiang; and Yilan county, Huanan county, and Fangzhen county, east Heilongjiang. There is no timetable in place for the development of the projects.
The wind-power base in Shanxi province, north China, will amount to 12GW. It will be constructed in the 12th Five-year Plan period (2011-2015). The wind farms will mainly be located in Datong and Suzhou cities.
So far, China has launched eight 10GW-level wind power bases, which are located in Gansu's Jiuquan, Xinjiang's Hami, Hebei, Jilin, eastern Inner Mongolia, western Mongolia, Jiangsu, and Shandong provinces.
By the end of June this year, China had 166 medium and large wind farms which are over 100MW separately.
China Electricity Council said China increased its grid-connected wind capacity to 39.13GW as of the end of October, a net rise of 14.81GW (60.9%) over the same period in 2010.
According to China's 12th Five-year Plan, China will have 150GW wind installed capacity by the end of 2015.

No. 12 Virginia Powers Past No. 4 Syracuse, Claims ACC Title

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) – Malcolm Brogdon scored eight of his career-high 19 points during a decisive second-half run and No. 12 Virginia clinched the top seed in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament by beating No. 4 Syracuse 75-56 on Saturday.
Akil Mitchell added 12 points and nine rebounds and Mike Tobey and Justin Anderson scored 11 each for the Cavaliers (25-5, 16-1 ACC), who won their only outright ACC regular-season title 33 years ago – 1980-81 – when Ralph Sampson was a sophomore. The victory was their 13th in a row and the final buzzer brought hundreds streaming onto the court.
Tyler Ennis and C.J. Fair scored 13 each for the Orange (26-3, 13-3), who lost for the third time in four games. Syracuse played much of the game without ailing Jerami Grant because of a sore back.
As they have so often this season, Virginia took command with a second-half spree fed in part by its defense, and in part by a celebrating sell-out crowd, many of whom stood throughout the second half.
Brogdon broke a 42-all tie with two free throws, and then hit a jumper from the foul line. After a turnover by the Orange, London Perrantes hit a deep 3-pointer that gave the Cavaliers a 49-42 lead.
Rakeem Christmas' dunk after a Syracuse timeout quieted the crowd, but only for a minute because Anderson made a 3-pointer from the right side, Brogdon followed an Orange miss with a jumper and then followed another miss with a jumper. The lead was 56-45 with 5:15 remaining and fans sensed that the Cavaliers were in the process of putting the game away.
Ennis, playing with four fouls, hit a pair of free throws to slow the run, but Joe Harris hit a free throw, and then followed a Syracuse miss with a 3-pointer, his first basket in nine tries, causing the crowd to erupt in appreciation for the four-year starter. Harris was removed with 38.9 seconds left to a deafening cheer at Jones Paul Jones Arena.
Virginia had first-half runs on 9-0 and 8-2 in building a 22-15 lead, but a jumper by Faor and Ennis' 3-pointer – the first of the game – with 5:14 left in the half sparked 13-2 burst for the Orange.
Cooney, who had missed 22 of his last 27 3-point shots, and Richmond native Michael Gbinije then connected back-to-back from beyond the arc for Syracuse, and Rakeem Christmas' dunk made it 28-24.
Justin Anderson hit a 3, Virginia's first, with 47 seconds left and it was 28-27 at the half.

A lawsuit in which Planned Parenthood was recently found to have violated an Ohio informed consent law has been "resolved and dismissed," according to the Alliance Defense Fund allied attorney who filed the suit.
ADF-allied attorney Brian Hurley represents the parents of a girl who, at age 14, was brought to a Planned Parenthood clinic for an abortion by the 22-year-old soccer coach who impregnated her.
"The health and safety of young girls is far more important than Planned Parenthood's desire to make money on an abortion," said ADF Senior Counsel Steven H. Aden. "This lawsuit was yet another clear demonstration of Planned Parenthood's ongoing effort to put its profit margin ahead of the true needs of young women. If they truly cared about the girls who enter their doors, they would not be ignoring Ohio law and allowing statutory rape to occur so they can make money killing a baby. They also wouldn't be trying so desperately to keep all of their records secret."
In December 2010, the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas determined that Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio Region violated state law when it failed to meet with the 14-year-old girl at least 24 hours prior to giving her the abortion. Following this, a psychologist found that the abortion had caused her to suffer significant psychological harm, including post-traumatic stress disorder. The case was "resolved and dismissed" shortly thereafter.
Hurley, one of more than 2,000 attorneys in the ADF alliance, filed the suit Roe v. Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio Region on behalf of the girl's parents when they discovered that Planned Parenthood allowed her to undergo the abortion at the behest of her soccer coach.
Neither Planned Parenthood nor the soccer coach notified the parents of the abortion or the sexual relationship. Planned Parenthood also did not notify civil authorities, which is required in cases of statutory rape. The soccer coach was convicted of sexual battery and served three years in prison.
Dana Cody of the Life Legal Defense Fund, commented to LifeNews.com on the resoluion of the lawsuit:
Resolution of the case comes just months after a major blow to Planned Parenthood's (PP) defense on the applicability of Ohio's informed consent statute. Judge Jody Luebbers ruled that the doctor for PP of Southwest Ohio breached her legal duty by not having an "informed consent" meeting with Jane Roe 24 hours in advance of her abortion, and by failing to obtain written informed consent from Jane and at least one of her parents since Jane was a minor at the time.
In addition to the lack of informed consent, the plaintiffs sought compensatory and punitive damages against PP for failure to comply with their statutory duty to inform Jane Roe's parents of her intended abortion. Jane, at age 14, had been impregnated by her 21-year-old soccer coach, also the man who brought her in for the abortion. Instead of notifying Jane's parents, as required by Ohio law, PP phoned the sexual predator. PP's failure to notify Roe's parents and to gain informed consent resulted in Jane not only undergoing the abortion, but also in the continued cover-up of the sexual abuse, demonstrating a disturbing trend in PP clinics: disregard for the health and wellbeing of women and children.
Resolution of this case must have been an act of desperation on the part of Planned Parenthood. They went, in a matter of months, from litigating every inch of their defense to a sudden willingness to resolve the matter. I would speculate that had PP gone to trial there would have been too much exposure of how they do business. After all, they are currently experiencing public outrage over their apparent willingness to cover up the sexual exploitation of children. What more might they have to hide?
LLDF commends Brian Hurley for his tremendous work on Roe. His diligence and perseverance continues in another Ohio case, Fairbanks v. Planned Parenthood, case no. A0901484, Hamilton County, Ohio, where Mr. Hurley is representing Denise Fairbanks. The claims include PP's failure to report statutory rape by Ms. Fairbanks' father when at age 16 she was taken to PP for an abortion. The complaint states that although she informed PP staff of the abuse, they did not report to local law enforcement, and for more than a year she continued to suffer abuse that PP could have prevented by simply complying with the law.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Chipmaker Texas Instruments Inc. said Wednesday that it will eliminate about 1,700 jobs as it trims spending in its wireless business.
The cuts will reduce Texas Instruments' staff positions by almost 5 percent.
Texas Instruments expects the job cuts and other changes will save about $450 million per year by the end of 2013. The Dallas company will take $325 million in one-time charges connected to the moves. Most will come in the current quarter.
Texas Instruments is shifting the focus of its wireless investments to industrial and automotive customers and away from smartphones and tablets, where the company's biggest customers are developing their own custom chips instead of doing business with companies like Texas Instruments. Texas Instruments says the changes require fewer resources and less spending.
The company had 34,759 employees at the end of 2011.
Texas Instruments shares lost 62 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $28.76 as the market slumped on Wednesday. The stock rose 26 cents to $29.02 in after-hours trading.

About two hours after announcing he was ending his campaign for mayor, local media mogul Tom Allon had lunch with a man he would have faced off against in September's Republican mayoral primary, former MTA chairman Joe Lhota. Both men insisted their meal at Michael's in Midtown was already on the schedule and wasn't a sign Mr. Allon will be endorsing Mr. Lhota following his departure from the race.
"We had an appointment to meet a couple weeks ago and it's just by happenstance," Mr. Lhota said when asked about the timing of the meal. "It's the honest to god truth."
"Anybody that reads anything into it is coming up with their own conclusions," added Mr. Allon. "I'm happy to meet with any candidate who has interest in hearing my views on education, but I happen to agree with Joe on many things and I like him a lot."
Mr. Allon and Mr. Lhota spent over an hour together at the legendary power lunch spot. Mr. Lhota ate cobb salad while Mr. Allon had chicken. They did not enjoy any alcoholic beverages and split the check leaving a combined tip that was ever-so-slightly under twenty percent. At the conclusion of their meal, the two politicos ended up getting grilled by Politicker and Daily News reporter Celeste Katz who got wind of the meeting and showed up to see what the pair was discussing.
Mr. Allon said there were three factors behind his decision to drop out. He cited a desire to spend more time with his young daughters and the reasoning he described in his statement announcing the decision–that he had an opportunity to acquire City and State, the political newspaper formerly owned by the company he was CEO of, Manhattan Media. Mr. Allon also admitted his campaign didn't seem to be catching on with voters and had nearly emptied its war chest, most of which came from his own pocket. He said he does not expect to "see that money again."
"I wasn't getting traction, there's no doubt," said Mr. Allon.
Mr. Allon was a longtime Democrat, but he joined the Republican Party and launched what he described as a "fusion candidacy" on both the Liberal and Republican party lines about five months ago. He said Mr. Lhota and billionaire John Catsimatidis both prevented him from attracting more voters when they kicked off their own GOP mayoral campaigns soon after.
"Listen, when Joe and John entered the race, there was little room for someone like me on the Republican side," said Mr. Allon. "Joe is a true Republican. John is very wealthy."
Mr. Lhota chuckled when his dining companion described his as a "true Republican."
"My social issues get me kicked out of the room," explained Mr. Lhota about where he differs with the GOP.
According to Mr. Allon, in addition to making it harder for him to win, Mr. Lhota's entry into the mayoral race made it easier for him to drop out.
"I have an affection for Joe and, actually, I have to say, one of the reasons I felt comfortable jumping out of the race is because I knew Joe jumped in," said Mr. Allon. "I feel that voters have a good choice now."
Despite his praise for Mr. Lhota, Mr. Allon said he won't be endorsing because of his new role with City and State. As part of his acquisition of the paper, he said he relinquished his role with Manhattan Media and started a new, separate company, City and State NY LLC, last week.
"I'm going to be owning a majority stake in City and State. … I'm going to be spending 100 percent of my time on it whereas I spent five percent of my time beforehand. And by the way, I was totally handcuffed editorially before, because I recused myself completely. Now I don't have to tiptoe around the editorial department," Mr. Allon said. "I'm not making any endorsements. … I would love to make an endorsement … City and State never makes [endorsements]. … I said to my reporters and editors this morning, I apologize for the last year-and-a-half because I know I made your lives difficult. I am going to not do that anymore, so now I'm a publisher and a private citizen."
In his new capacity as a "private citizen," Mr. Allon said he will happy to meet with the mayoral candidates and "advise" them. He wouldn't rule out a potential run for office down the road, but if Mr. Lhota is victorious, Mr. Allon said he would not launch another mayoral bid until Mr. Lhota finishes his two terms.
When Politicker informed Mr. Catsimatidis about Mr. Allon's departure from the race, the billionaire said he would want to have Mr. Allon "running" the public education system in a hypothetical Catsimatidis administration. We asked Mr. Allon if he would be willing to leave his new, expanded role at City and State if he got that offer.
"I'm going to be focusing on a private business for the next couple years," said Mr. Allon. "Maybe in a Lhota or Catsimatidis second term I could be chancellor."
Mr. Allon also said he would be willing to take a position in the administration of Democrat Bill Thompson if he secures himself a second term.
Since Mr. Allon seemed willing to work with Mr. Lhota in 2017, we asked Mr. Lhota if he would be willing to promise Mr. Allon a spot in his administration as Mr. Catsimatidis had.
"It's illegal to do that," Mr. Lhota said.

Just a quick press release announcing the national broadcast schedule for First Kick 2012 in MLS. The Dynamo will be a part of the festivites as their season opener against Chivas USA at the Home Depot Center will be on Galavision.
HOUSTON, TX (Tuesday, December 6, 2011) -- The Houston Dynamo will open the 2012 Major League Soccer season on Sunday, March 11, against Chivas USA at The Home Depot Center. The match, which can be seen nationally on Galavision, is scheduled to kick off at 6 p.m. CT.
The Dynamo are 0-1-2 when opening the MLS season on the road and are 0-3-3 all-time in road openers. Houston split the home-and-away series with Chivas in 2011 and is 9-2-5 all-time against the Goats in the regular season.
With the addition of Montreal Impact as the 19th team in MLS, the league has gone back to an unbalanced schedule, meaning that every team will not play every other team home and away. Nine games will be played during the opening week of the season, with four of those games to be broadcast on national TV. The full league schedule will be announced in the coming weeks.

Sermon on the Mount
Matt. 5:1–7:29. A discourse by the Lord to His disciples who were about to be sent forth on missions. It should be placed chronologically soon after the calling of the Twelve. It is similar in many respects to a sermon recorded in Luke 6:20–49, although the Matthew account contains more pointed references to the law, the prophets, and the individual calling and responsibility of the disciples. The Luke account appears to have a more general application. For example, "Ye are the salt of the earth" (Matt. 5:13); "Ye are the light of the world" (Matt. 5:14); and, "take no thought, saying, What shall we eat … drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed" (Matt. 6:31) do not occur in the Luke account. The Sermon in Matthew is greatly clarified by the JST (see Matt. 5–7 footnotes and JST Appendix) and a similar sermon recorded in 3 Ne. 12–14. These sources reveal that certain plain and precious information has not survived in the KJV account.
A brief analysis of the Matthew record is as follows:
The subjects of the kingdom: their character and privileges (5:3–12), and their responsibility (5:13–16).
The kingdom of heaven in relation to the law (5:17–48) and Pharisaic rules (6:1–34). It is the highest fulfillment of the law in regard to the Decalogue (5:21–37); the law of retaliation (5:38–42); and love or charity (5:43–48). It exceeds the righteousness of the Pharisees in regard to almsgiving (6:1–4); prayer (6:5–15); fasting (6:16–18); and earthly possessions and daily cares (6:19–34).
Characteristics of the life within the kingdom: judgment on others (7:1–6); the Father's love for His children (7:7–12); the narrow entrance (7:13–14); the danger of false guides and the test of the true (7:15–23); a description of the true subjects of the kingdom, as distinguished from the false (7:24–27).

Today is the last day of June, which means the NBA and NHL finals are (finally) behind us. Yup, we were watching NBA basketball into the third week of June and NHL ice — Ice! — hockey into the fourth. That means we can now turn our attention to the sport that, in my opinion, is America's real national pastime. The sport that links generations and reminds us of our idyllic past and our pastoral roots. A sport that may be less violent than football, but one that nevertheless demands speed and eye-hand coordination and serious mental toughness.
Yes, it is time once again for the annual Fourth of July Outhouse Races in Bristol, Vermont. They begin this Thursday morning at nine a.m., the opening act for one of the Green Mountain's longest and most eccentric Fourth of July parades.
I've never participated in the Outhouse Races, but I've watched them for years. It's Nascar meets the Olympic one-hundred meter dash. It's a chariot race with pretend port-a-potties. For those of you unfamiliar with an outhouse race, it is, in my opinion, the real sport of kings. After all, you have someone sitting upon the proverbial throne and you have other people wagering along the side of the racetrack.
Here is what's involved:
You build a replica of an outhouse. Keep it light, but there should be a hole on which a person can (and will) sit.
Put the outhouse on castors or wheels.
Find a few people willing to race like madmen and women down Bristol's Main Street, some pulling and some pushing each outhouse.
There are usually four heats, the winner of each being the first outhouse to break the toilet paper tape. These winners compete in one final race for the championship.
Meanwhile, those of us in the crowd can cheer and bet and eat.
This Thursday will mark the 35th running of the runs. There are other outhouse races in other parts of this great land, but none dating back to the Carter Presidential administration and none on the Fourth of July.
Unbelievably diligent readers will recall that I first wrote about the Outhouse Races almost twenty years ago. But things have changed since then. They are no longer managed by the Bristol Rotary Club because the Bristol Rotary Club was disbanded. And the course no longer runs around the Bristol green because the corners meant that the race was fast becoming – to quote Ted Lylis, a race organizer for twenty years and still an eager and experienced assistant – "a blood sport." He said that parked cars were "getting their vehicle mirrors ripped off. Doug Mack – owner of Mary's at Baldwin Creek – once fell down and got run over by his own outhouse. There was always a lot of blood and a lot of skin loss." Consequently, now the course runs in a straight line down Main Street in front of the green, ending at the one traffic light in the village.
Like so many other big ideas, the outhouse races were born late into a New Year's Eve party. The details now are a little sketchy – this was, after all, a New Year's Eve party — but a pair of Bristol Rotarians, Larry Gile and Bill Paine, were no doubt having a profound intellectual discussion about the Declaration of Independence. Then they had another drink and the outhouse races were born.
This year the race is managed by Bristol's Shawn Oxford. "I love the quirkiness and the way it brings the community together," he told me when I asked him why he took on such a profound responsibility. "In the beginning, people were racing actual outhouses."
In some parts of this proud nation, people do nothing more than pay homage to the Revolutionary War patriots on the Fourth of July. We certainly do that here in this corner of Addison County; we have our re-enactors on parade. But we also have the courage to begin the big day by racing the restrooms of freedom. Here's to the fireworks in the sky — and in the thunderbox!

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- I was never that impressed with the Tesla Roadster, the $100,000 two-seat sports car that so many people saw as the beginning of an electric car revolution.
The Roadster was a deft parlor trick, I figured. It's easy to make an exciting long-range electric car if you don't bother to making it affordable or practical.
Now comes Tesla's next trick. The Model S sedan, available with seating for up to seven, is now on sale. Once it's in full production, prices will range from $50,000 to roughly $100,000.
I have driven the $100,000 version of the car, albeit it briefly, and I'm amazed. The car would seem worth the price, or maybe more, if it were powered by a gasoline engine. (Cheaper versions will be largely the same but with shorter driving ranges.) If there's sleight of hand here, I haven't been able to find it yet.
I'd been in the Model S before -- Tesla (TSLA) chief executive Elon Musk took me on a test ride through lower Manhattan back in November -- but, even so, the view from the driver's seat was striking. Wherever possible, knobs and physical gauges have been replaced by computer screens.
There isn't even a "Start" button. If you have the Tesla's car-shaped key fob in your pocket and your butt is in the driver's seat the car -- quite reasonably -- assumes you want it to turn on. So it does.
It runs in "Accessory" mode, allowing you to use the computer screens and listen to the stereo, until you push down the brake pedal. Then the speedometer and other driving gauges appear and the car is ready to roll.
Move the gear selector stalk to Drive and off you go in near silence. (If the gear selector stalk seems familiar, that's because Tesla got it straight from Mercedes-Benz.)
At slow speeds the Model S feels disappointingly like a hefty, battery-laden electric car. With a light foot on the accelerator, it shuffles from stop sign to stop sign with all the eagerness of a fat man asked to change seats on an airliner. You can almost hear it sigh.
Then you get out on the open road and really step on the "gas" and.... Yowzah! It turns out that, when asked to, this car can move with astonishing speed. Fortunately, for me, the brake pedal works just as well as the accelerator nicely preventing me from rear-ending cars ahead after each startling burst of speed.
The Model S's steering feel and response are adjustable using touch screen "buttons." The steering can be changed from heavy and quick, like a sports car, to easy and slow, like an old Cadillac. The car's ride height can likewise be changed up and down to the wonderment of bystanders.
One thing our test drive route -- which included Manhattan back streets and a long stretch of the West Side Highway -- didn't include was any high speed curves, which was a shame.
The Model S's heavy battery packs are in the form of a flat sheet that takes up most of the underfloor of the car. That gives the car a very roomy interior as well as a very low center of gravity. Turns are accomplished (or so I'm told) with hardly any body lean and with alacrity that puts other performance sedans to shame. We'll have to see but, for now, it seems believable.
So now Tesla faces the mundane challenges of producing the car profitably in relatively high volumes while preventing quality problems that could damage the brand name. At the same time, Tesla is already preparing to sell its next vehicle, the Model X crossover SUV.
There's still a lot of work for Tesla ahead but, so far, the car itself looks good.

Sometimes Google's Street View cars return some pretty astounding pictures. Like yesterday when a picture appeared on Reddit of a donkey that commenters thought Google ran over and left for dead.
It gained so much steam that Google had to respond: They didn't kill the donkey. But it sure looked like they did.
Google's Street View cars traverse the globe in order to give people that don't like to go outside an idea of what other parts of the world are like. On a recent visit to map out part of Botswana, the car passed by a donkey on dirt road.
The first picture shows the happy — and possibly warm — donkey standing upright, as donkeys tend to do. The second picture shows the donkey standing next to Google's car. But the shot just after the car passes tells a different story.
Instead of continuing upright, the donkey is lying on the ground, kind of like what dead things do. This made an internet explorer upset and they took to the internet to see if Google might have actually killed a little donkey.
Google's response just went up in a cleverly titled blog post.
Because of the way our 360-degree imagery is put together, it looked to some that our car had been involved in an unseemly hit and run, leaving the humble beast stranded in the road.
As our imagery below shows, the donkey was lying in the path - perhaps enjoying a dust bath - before moving safely aside as our car drove past. I'm pleased to confirm the donkey is alive and well.
Basically, people were looking at the photos in the wrong order. The donkey was lying down first and then got up, not vice versa.
Phew. We're happy to find out that Google doesn't have donkey blood on its hands. That would be embarrassing. Run free little donkey!

News Feeds and Events Added to Google Finance
Google Finance lets you subscribe to more information about a company. There's a new RSS feed for news, a calendar with all the conferences and other important events, the option to view and export the historical prices for a stock.
A more useful new feature is a calendar with all the important events for the companies included into your portfolio. There's no feed for news in the portfolio section, though.
Google Finance will eventually add sections for all the links from "more resources", managing to mix the best information from other financial sites with its services.
{ Thank you, Mike. }

Google should have a feature add to Google Reader. They have Google Calender add, but Google Reader would be good one to get the latest news about the company.ReplyDelete

I agree with cgull. It would be a good feature if Google had an "add Google Reader" button or something.ReplyDelete
Why not make RSS support for news for my whole portfolio?ReplyDelete
I follow news for all the stocks in my portfolio, and I want a single RSS for ll of those stocks, why should I have to get only one RSS feed from one stock at a time, when its easy to make all of my portfolio available.
- AnonymousJune 10, 2007 at 9:38 PM
Ronen, it sounds like you might be like "Stock Spy". You can automatically subscribe to multiple feeds for each symbol in your portfolio.ReplyDelete
Also, you're not limited to Google Finance... you get Yahoo! Finance, SeekingAlpha, MarketWatch & Google feeds for stocks in your portfolio in a single step.
This way you don't have to worry about multiple feeds for each symbol. Even though you still read from multiple sources the news for your whole portfolio is grouped nicely by symbol.
Plus it's oriented towards investors so you can do a lot of nice things like create dynamic charts of the news and automatically highlight stories containing financial keywords (like "Upgrade", "SEC" etc.).

The Public Eye1992 Action/Adventure | Drama | Suspense/Thriller
Howard Franklin wrote and directed this film noir character study based on the famed New York Daily News photographer Weegee. Joe Pesci plays a character named Bernstein, a freelance photographer for the New York City tabloids of the 1940s. His life is dedicated to his work; with a police radio under the dashboard of his car and a darkroom in his trunk, he quickly and efficiently races to the scene of crimes, accidents and murders to snap photographs of gangsters, politicians, cops, and prostitutes, which he promptly delivers to the newspapers. His knack for arriving at a crime scene before the police earns him the nickname the Great Bernzini. The trouble begins for Bernstein when he agrees to look up a gangster for Kay (Barbara Hershey), the sexy owner of a fancy Manhattan nightclub. After making inquiries, Bernstein traces the man Kay is looking for, but he turns up dead. When he informs the police, he becomes a suspect in the murder; it also turns out that the FBI is interested the case. Bernstein then uncovers an elaborate conspiracy concerning gas rationing, the mob, and the government.~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

ItemCommunity development workers programme: mentoring for social transformation in the public service in post-apartheid South Africa(Inderscience, 2008) Geber, Hilary; Mothlake, BonaThe new public sector community development workers (CDWs) programme was established in 2004 following ineffective service delivery through chronic under-spending on annual budgets in post-apartheid South Africa. CDWs receive training in learnerships within the National Skills Development Strategy to ensure access to and spending of local government poverty alleviation funding allocated for housing, childcare grants, and pensions and other services. As learnership mentors are mandatory, this research investigates the formal mentoring of CDWs after learnership programmes. CDWs and their mentors from two large municipalities participated. The main findings show inadequate formal mentoring of CDWs despite legislative requirements. Crucial mentoring for career development and psychosocial support is patchy and uneven. Social transformation of communities and access to government services and grants is likely to take longer than anticipated if CDWs are not adequately mentored during their training and in workplace learning. ItemCoaching for accelerated research productivity in Higher Education(The International Journal of Evidence Based Coaching and Mentoring Oxford Brookes University, 2010-08) Geber, HilaryIt is recognized that combining a thorough orientation to academic life and its expectations with intensive training in conceptualising research can accelerate the careers of early career academics. Unique to the structured support programme for research productivity and publication at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, was ongoing internal coaching of participants. In the study reported here in-depth interviews of participants and coaches were used to collect data. Internal coaches are academics without being experts in the participants' disciplines. Goal alignment linked to both individual and organisational objectives resulted in tangible outcomes for research, publication and career changes. Less tangible outcomes concern the value of coaching; coaching during career or personal critical incidents and the important shifts in thinking which occurred. The outcomes have drawn additional funding to the University, and there is ongoing wider implementation across faculties of the programme with internal coaching. ItemTinkering, Tailoring, and Transforming: Retention of Scientific Excellence of Women Researchers through WiSER mentoring(Oxford Brookes University, 2011-02) Geber, Hilary; Roughneen, CarolineWomen are under-represented in academic grades in Higher Education, but more so in science, engineering and technology (SET) disciplines. This under-representation of women undermines the potential gains the community of science can attain by utilising the skills, talents and knowledge of all those who are trained to work in SET. The European Union statistics show that women are equally represented at undergraduate stage but become progressively more under-represented in the more senior academic positions. This article presents a case study of a mentoring programme in the Centre for Women in Science and Engineering Research (WiSER) at Trinity College Dublin. Its aim is the recruiting, retaining, returning and advancing women in academic science, engineering and technology. WiSER seeks to develop sustainable practices to ensure that women can compete in research in an equitable manner with male colleagues using their scientific expertise, knowledge and potential. The outcomes of the programme are reported for mentors, mentees and Trinity College and retention data are given for the women a year after the programme ended.

This stunning property called the Cluny House has been designed by the talented architecture firm Guz Architects. Located in Singapore, Malaysia this incredible project demonstrates how technology, planning and design can be applied sensitively to generate a comfortable, luxurious, yet sustainable family home. Photovoltaic cells and solar water heaters are employed together with design for passive cooling and cross ventilation to reduce energy usage. Irrigation tanks and roof gardens collect and recycle rainwater; and the use of materials such as recycled teak and artificial timber adds warmth without compromising the finite resources of our environment.
The house is laid out around a central water court that forms the focal point of the project. Lushly planted roof gardens surround this and add to the effect that nature is evident in every part of the house. Although the house is high tech—using state of the art EIB systems, photovoltaic cells, security systems—these are integrated discreetly and work with the natural environment of the house rather than against it. This integration of technology and nature deserves special mention in a compelling design that could realistically become the model for sustainable living.

Former NFL Great Tim Brown Speaks About His Turnaround
Tim Brown was ready to retire from the NFL at the age of 30.
He had abandoned his Christian upbringing to the point that he literally couldn't look himself in the mirror any longer, causing him to brush his teeth in the dark.
According to the Times Leader, one night in prayer, he heard God tell him, "Now it's time for you to serve," but he didn't fully understand who God was calling him to serve.
Brown recounted his story in Wilkes-Barre, Penn., Wednesday night. He was the featured speaker for the eighth annual Celebrity Dinner, hosted by the Volunteers of America.
Brown seemed to have it all early in his NFL career. He won the Heisman Trophy in 1987 while playing for Notre Dame. He was drafted in the first round in 1988 by the Los Angeles Raiders. And his faith was intact. When he came into the NFL, he put a towel over his head in the locker room to block his view of the players who were smoking, drinking and cursing.
Over time though, he told the crowd Wednesday night, he dropped his defenses and allowed himself to be influenced by those around him.
But he couldn't continue on that path.
He said he eventually figured out God wanted him to serve his teammates. The transition was difficult. He was tested by some of the players at first, but over a two-year period he earned the respect of his teammates. They even began to play Christian rock music in the weight room and toned down their coarse language.
At one point though, shortly before he retired, he was tested again when the team experienced a losing streak. Some of his teammates wanted him to exert his leadership by standing in front of the team to curse them out.
"And you know for that split second that thought runs through your head because you know this is your career," Brown said on The 700 Club. "I can do that and God will understand. But, I got to thinking this is nothing but the trick of the devil because I think if I would have done that [no matter what I would have said, no matter how great the year would have been], I think guys would always realize that when times get tough, Tim would break just like everybody else is breaking.
"So I just told them no. I mean they were dead serious about me doing it, and I just said that's not something I'm gonna do."
Brown retired after the 2004 season. During his 17-year NFL career, the standout wide receiver went on to become a nine-time Pro Bowl selection, making the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team. Some believe he'll end up in the NFL Hall of Fame someday.
Currently, Brown works as a college football analyst for ESPN.

Siargao is surfing capital of the Philippines and is surrounded by some beautiful white-sand-beach islands. The laid back atmosphere and great restaurants and night life make this a great location and many travellers find themselves staying much longer than expected. I planned a 2 week trip, which became a 4 week stay, which became a 2 month stay, which became a 10 month stay! I just really wanted to experience life on an island for a year and it was the perfect place for my (time lapse) photography, shooting the Milky Way (barely any light pollution) and capture some of the great lightning storms here.

UNHCR advises setting up at least two transit centres in Lebanon for the Syrian refugees but also fears that large camps of Sunni Muslim Syrians could inflame sectarian tensions
Lebanon should consider setting up transit centres to absorb the waves of refugees fleeing neighbouring Syria and may have to establish formal refugee camps if the influx continues, a United Nations refugee official said.
The tiny and fragile Mediterranean state already hosts 260,000 refugees - equivalent to 6.5 percent of its population - and has sought to absorb them in homes and communities, fearing large camps of Sunni Muslim Syrians could inflame sectarian tensions still smouldering from its own 1975-1990 civil war.
But the accelerating exodus from Syria's bloodshed means that the number of Syrians seeking help in Lebanon is growing by 3,000 a day, leaving authorities and the UNHCR refugee agency struggling to provide for them.
"We have this very tiny country ... a quarter of the size of Switzerland, with a population of 4 million people, taking in 260,000 refugees," UNHCR representative in Lebanon Ninette Kelley told Reuters late on Friday.
"I think what we need to start doing is to prepare for an eventuality whereby we may not be able to find enough shelter and accommodation given the current level of demand."
"We have advised the government that it may be a time to start having at least two transit sites," she said, where refugees could be offered temporary food and shelter before other accommodation is found. "As a start, that would be a good thing."
UNHCR has also made contingency plans to establish formal refugee camps if the mass influx continues, though that would have to be with Lebanese government permission, she said.
"We do plan for camps. We pre-position stocks, we make sure we have done assessments and that we are ready to go in that eventuality," she said in an interview at UNHCR headquarters in southern Beirut.
Reluctance to set up refugee camps stems in part from historic sensitivities over the waves of Palestinian refugees who fled from Israel, some of whom became central players in Lebanon's destructive civil war.
The issue also highlights the country's current political divide. Some of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's Lebanese foes openly called for camps to be set up, hoping it would highlight the scale of his crackdown on the nearly two-year-old uprising in which an estimated 60,000 people have been killed.
The government of Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, dominated by Assad allies including Hezbollah, preferred to support aid efforts to house the refugees in homes and schools in their own Sunni Muslim communities.
Aid workers say that the political concerns constrained their ability to help during the first year of the conflict, particularly in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, where pockets of Christians, pro-Hezbollah Shi'ite Muslims and Sunni Muslim supporters of the armed Syrian rebels live close by.
They are still struggling. A report by the French aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres said half the refugees in Lebanon were not receiving sufficient medical care and many more were living in inadequate winter shelter.
UNHCR has increased registration of new refugees to 40,000 a month, but even that may not keep pace with new arrivals and its capacity is stretched to the limit.
Kelley said that despite last month's U.N. conference in Kuwait, when $1.5 billion was pledged for Syrian humanitarian aid, U.N. operations inside Lebanon had so far only received 15 percent of their funding requirements.
"Our problem right now is we simply don't have enough funds to do 100 percent coverage of registered refugees and all the new arrivals," she said.

Science paints a new picture of the ancient past, when we mixed and mated with other kinds of humans
Earlier forms, like the Neanderthals, were thought to be just steps along the path of evolution, who died out because we were better versions. Ancient DNA technology has revolutionized the way we study human history and has quickly taken off, with a constant stream of studies exploring the genes of long-ago people. For most of human history we shared the planet with other kinds of early humans, and those now-extinct groups were a lot like us.7 min read

The sun came up today, and that means that the garbage fire that is the 2013 Tampa Bay Buccaneers got even hotter and more garbage-y. What's new today? Allow The MMQB's Andrew Brandt to tell you about "Schiano Men."
In speaking with agents of several Bucs players recently, I have sensed a common theme: There is an atmosphere of fear and distrust under the current regime in Tampa. Players have told their agents about coaches roaming through the locker room (typically the players' sanctuary away from coaches) and staff videotaping players on the sidelines during losses to single out players laughing or horsing around. The players also speak to the influx of multiple Rutgers players from Schiano's past and the use of the phrase "Schiano Men," a term that clearly does not apply to Freeman.
Now we can't help but wonder what the ideal "Schiano Man" would look like. He'd probably be someone who refuses to pay more than $11 for a haircut, grumbles about how construction workers are always "just standin' around" instead of working, and is short on neck but very high on a complete inability to win football games.

Should you fix or change your driveway?
Your asphalt road can contribute or reduce the attractiveness of your goods.
When the driveway is in top condition, the overall appearance of your property increases, and driving on it is smooth and pleasant.
On the downside, a damaged or old road will devalue your property, and a large gap may serve as a hiding place for insects and lizards.
So, your asphalt road continues to experience loopholes and holes, have you contacted a professional repairman to patch it or it's time to replace it all?
In this post, we share tips on how to find out when to change or fix your entrance.
Let's go inside.
You Make More Repairs Often than You Want
The asphalt entrance is not built to last forever.
Over time, wear shake, so the entrance begins to collapse or develop cracks here and there. In this case, there is no harm in calling a technician to fix the problem.
However, when you find that you frequently make repairs and the associated costs are out of control, it's time to tear the entire entryway and install a new one.
The Highway You Have Spend The Life Expectancy
The average length of time that can be entered depends on a number of factors, including building materials, installation quality and climate.
For example, while a brick entrance can last up to 50 years or more, the life of the asphalt road is limited to about 20 years.
If your asphalt road has been around for two decades, you will definitely be tired or run out of money to fix it every time a crack occurs.
After at least 20 years of faithful service, say goodbye to the driveway of your old house and start preparing to replace the asphalt.
You Prepare to Sell Your Property
When selling a home, every homeowner focuses on taking the maximum value in the market.
To increase the visual appeal of the property and increase your chances of getting the best deal, you must make the necessary improvements.
The driveway, which usually occupies an empty area, should be somewhere between your first target.
But, if you already have some loopholes that are patched, then it is in your best interests to replace instead of making improvements.
A patched driveway will frighten potential buyers and make an appraiser to drop a few thousand dollars from the value of the property.
Professional Professional Asphalt Replacement Says It Has Been Going
If you are not an asphalt coating specialist and asphalt replacement, it may be difficult to determine whether your drives need to be repaired or replaced.
So when you call the contractor to check the driveway and say that the condition is irreparable, you have no choice but to prepare to replace the asphalt.

What sort of trail do you leave online? Do you comment as yourself? Do you think that using only the first initial of your last name, like John S., doesn't link to you? Do you use a profile picture? Be honest: do you have any idea how many times you've left your real name on the internet? We'll give you the pros and cons of using your real name on the web below.
Online aliases, pseudonyms, pen names…Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg doesn't believe in them. Nor does he believe in privacy. He's a proponent of online openness, urging all of us to share, comment, and post all of our thoughts under our legal, given names. "The days of you having a different image for your work friends or co-workers and for the other people you know are probably coming to an end pretty quickly," he quipped in 2009. "Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity." In fact, Facebook lists using a fake name as an abuse of their Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.
Does having multiple online identities really show a "lack of integrity?"
Of course, this is coming from a guy who admitted that he would make all Facebook privacy settings public by default if he could start the company over again. Is it disingenuous to use aliases online, or is it merely playing it safe?
The United States Supreme Court seems to disagree with Zuckerberg, ruling in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission that the First Amendment protects our right to be anonymous:
Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express critical, minority views . . . Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights, and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.
Visit the Electronic Frontier Foundation's website for a concise summary of your legal right to speak anonymously.
Every day, we have to choose whether to be anonymous online.
Here's a scenario you're probably familiar with. Let's say you read an article on CNN.com and want to post a response in the comments section. You must first register on CNN.com, which requires you to fill in a screen name, email address, and password, then confirm the email you used to register. Alternatively, you can use Facebook connect to link your Facebook profile to CNN, letting Facebook take care of the hassle of registration. You have a choice to make: use your real name, potentially linking your name to your comment forever; or use an alias.
Posting anonymously has its pros and its cons.
- Pro: It keeps a Google search for your legal name clean.
Posting online is like talking to the police: anything you say can and will be used against you. Old questions posted in IT forums, comments on political articles, objectionable tweets, those photos of you partying a bit too hard, that video your ex-boyfriend swore he'd never release: if you use your real name when posting anything, chances are a Google search will bring up results that you aren't proud of.
- Con: It makes what you say less believable.
Using your real name lends credibility to what you're writing. Similar to criminal informants, coming forward with your true identity makes the content of your statement more believable and trustworthy. If you truly stand by your posting and are prepared to have your name associated with it forever–internet archives can live a long time–using your real name shows your conviction.
- Pro: It helps keep your name out of people search databases.
Many people search websites, such as Spokeo.com and 123People.com, collect their listings by crawling the web for all mentions of a person's name. Let's return to our earlier CNN commenting example for a moment. If you use your legal name and actual email address to register and CNN's privacy policy allows it to share your information third parties, as many websites do, then it will show up on the people search websites.
- Con: Anonymity makes us meaner.
Study after study demonstrates that being able to say what we think without fear of repercussion brings out the worst in us. With the advent of anonymous online commenting came trolling, cyber-bullying, and general unpleasantness. There's even a scientific term for it: "the online disinhibition effect." And anonymity can have far worse effects than just discouraging thoughtful and polite discourse: it has lead to murders and suicides, as in the sad case of Alexis Pilkington, the 17 year-old girl who committed suicide after being harassed online by anonymous people.
- Con: You can't build a positive online reputation through content creation
If you're prepared for a little self-censorship, posting under your real name can be a smart strategy. Knowing that anything you say online may show up when someone Googles you, use your postings to your advantage. Post intelligent, grammatically-correct, spell-checked, well-reasoned content. Express yourself in the field in which you want to become established. Don't forget that good search results can be better than no search results.
What should you do?
Think long and hard about posting anything under your real name. If you decide to do so, ask yourself the New York Times question: "If this content were ever publicly released, would I be okay with seeing it on the cover of the New York Times?" If the answer is "no," use a pseudonym. You can use this handy Fake Name Generator to come up with a false identity on the fly.
Abine's MaskMe (beta), a free browser add-on, lets you create and manage your accounts and identities. You can create an unlimited number of Masked Email addresses that forward messages to your real inbox: one for friends, one for work, one for family, one for your superhero alter ego, etc. MaskMe will automatically fill in online forms as each of your different selves.
Regardless of whether you do decide to use your real name, think about using an anonymous email. MaskMe lets you generate masked emails that forward to your real account. If you ever have trouble with spam from a website or an account, simply block the masked email associated with it.
