Yokogawa Electric to Supply Plant Control Systems to Tatarstan
Tokyo, Sept. 9 (Jiji Press)--Yokogawa Electric Corp. said Tuesday it has concluded a agreement to supply control systems for oil and petrochemical plants to be built in the Russian republic of Tatarstan.
The Japanese firm will supply such systems to plant makers participating in the construction project, to be implemented by a subsidiary of Russian energy firm Rosneft.Yokogawa expects to receive orders worth 7.5 billion yen in late 2008 or 2009 in the first phase of the project. Its order receipts are estimated to total some 12 billion yen in all the three phases, the company said.END

In 1992 Bill Cosby expressed his desire to purchase NBC -- a network that he turned around with programming featuring African-American characters and story lines -- but was told the network was not for sale.
Not long before that, FOX launched with a major focus on African-American programming -- remember Living Single, Martin, and Roc? But after a series of acquisitions, mergers, stock swaps, and expansion into Fox News, the company abandoned its Black roots, trading Queen Latifah for Glenn Beck.
More recently, when UPN and The WB merged, the first casualties were the African-American shows -- Girlfriends, Eve, All of Us -- that made up the bulk of UPN's line-up.
The answer says a lot about what's wrong with the media in America, and what we need to do to fix it. In short, minority-themed programs get sent to the chopping block first because advertisers will not pay for every African-American viewer that makes up a show's audience. It's the same reason why African-American publishing icons like Ebony/Jet are in decline.
This is true of my own experience with Hip Hop OnDemand. Fortunately, we had lined up big-name sponsors right off the bat. But when global economic woes and other factors led many big companies to cut their ad budgets, in typical fashion our budgets were sacrificed first -- despite the fact that we have experienced viewership growth in each and every quarter. If my company was paid for every one of the 500 million potential ad impressions generated, I could have made my own run at NBC!
Now, the proposed joint venture between NBC and Comcast Corp. has prompted a renewed discussion about the future of minority-owned media and, more broadly, program diversity. At least one organization has called on Congress and the FCC to further delay the deal (it's already been 11 months) unless Comcast sets aside twenty-five channels for African-American media owners, defined as 100 percent African-American owned. But that is simply unworkable and doesn't address the challenges we face; it only delays investment and job opportunities when the nation -- and many of the hard hit urban communities that Comcast serves -- can least afford it.
Defining African-American media ownership as nothing shy of 100 percent undercuts the long-standing policy of using public funds to invest in minority asset managers, who in turn invest in minority media firms like Radio One and Hip Hop OnDemand. Congress and the FCC have made a point of encouraging capital investment in minority media enterprises. But it has never required segregation -- so that Black-owned radio stations, say, could only be funded by Black investors.
And the argument that it's not African-American media if it's not 100 percent owned by African Americans sends the message to minority viewers and would-be media moguls that their favorite show or business venture isn't really Black. Although my African-American partners and I control almost all of the equity in Hip Hop OnDemand, some media diversity advocates apparently do not consider us African-American owned. The same with Radio One, built by Cathy Hughes and Alfred Liggins, that reaches tens of millions of African-Americans each day, hosts great content from the likes of Tom Joyner and Roland Martin and employs thousands of African-Americans -- some argue it's "not Black enough" because they were smart enough to attract investments from Comcast, DirecTV and others. This is a bizarre kind of racial purity. Our President is Black enough, and so are TV One and Hip Hop On Demand.
Media diversity is not an all-or-nothing proposition. Tyler Perry does a great job of presenting African-American films and programs mainly for an African-American audience, while many of us are focused on crossing over, creating programming that appeals to and reflects our increasingly multicultural society. In the 1980s, there was a place for The Cosby Show in a primetime lineup devoid of diversity. In 2010 there's a place for shows like Grey's Anatomy and In Treatment, with African-American Executive Producers and casts representing numerous cultures and languages, with plotlines that highlight how we relate to and learn from one another.
I think it's a big mistake to limit the notion of diversity to media that are 100 percent minority. That's myopic. It attempts to measure African-American media ownership with a protractor, when what is truly needed is a compass. True North points toward more distribution on more platforms by more voices, increases in diverse leadership inside of mainstream media companies, and securing our fair share of advertising dollars. It also points toward getting advertisers on board with the idea that diverse audiences are good for their businesses, because that's the future.

Film Review
The Corporation
Damning doc proves companies are people too—and not very nice ones
The Corporation
Directed by Mark Achbar & Jennifer Abbott
Cast: Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Michael Moore
Objectivity, once considered a virtue in the world of documentary filmmaking, has all but vanished from theaters, becoming a distant, if sorely lamented, memory. Supersize Me, Morgan Spurlock's two-hour exercise in gimmickry, hammered home its most obvious points, allowing no room, or opportunity, for debate. Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 was stubborn in its refusal to acknowledge both sides of its argument, resulting in a film that will entertain the already converted but alienate those who aren't yet convinced. Now, with The Corporation, audiences are given yet another reason to join hands, debate over coffee and plant a pipe bomb in the neighborhood Nike factory.
Infectiously hostile, Mark Achbar (co-director of Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media) and Jennifer Abbott's The Corporation demonstrates that the U.S. corporate entity, if seen as a person, would (and does) exhibit all the characteristics of a sociopath. Imbued with all the legal rights of a U.S. citizen since the mid-1800s, the American corporation behaves remorselessly, existing only to satisfy its own selfish goals. The imperative to gain profit, with a reckless disregard for the well-being of others, leaves the corporation in a morally reprehensible position: In order of importance, money must be placed above all else, allowing the individual no opportunity to flourish.
Among the film's wealth of talking-head testimonies (including CEOs, advertising specialists and, most notably, Michael Moore and Noam Chomsky), Dr. Robert Hare, consultant to the FBI on psychopaths, contends that the corporation has "all the characteristics of a prototypical psychopath." The Corporation makes it difficult to argue, or believe, otherwise. In fact, this brooding, strikingly assembled documentary bludgeons its audience with so many troubling questions (each of which is provided with equally disconcerting answers), so many horrible atrocities and such a large array of outrageous accusations, that the film threatens to become overbearing, stylistically and thematically.
Never less than compulsively watchable, The Corporation makes good use of its daunting running time (145 minutes), constantly spewing out revelation after revelation, threatening to move the viewer into a state of hysteria. However, the film often resorts to heavy-handed MTV stylistics to get its points across, none of which is necessary—especially when the filmmakers have such an intimidating display of intellect at their disposal. The film so desperately wants to keep its audience entertained, it often presents us with images of little, or no, interest (apples being picked, eagles soaring, etc.); these are lined up against carefully chosen, often despairing images (many of these emerging from "simple" television commercials, advertising cereal, toys, etc.), each of which carries a particular, if sometimes inflated, purpose.
The film drowns its audience in such an overwhelming parade of absurdities and allegations, one is often left with a feeling of déjà vu; the means of attack are different, yet the target is always the same, hovering ominously over the proceedings like a dark cloud. Understandably, there are times when the filmmakers lose control of the picture, often contradicting themselves, and their message, only to look down upon their audience for being led astray by these very contradictions. This being a documentary, the directors have no control (outside the cutting room) over the direction in which the speakers lead the picture; however, in supplying their viewers with such an overabundance and variety of orators, the coherence of Achbar and Abbott's message is weakened considerably, possibly creating a divide in the audience.
For a film that makes no attempt at masking its blatant contempt for the advertising industry, The Corporation comes awfully close to resembling a leftist version of Triumph of the Will. The sardonic narration, delivered with scornful ease by Mikela J. Mikael, makes a few stabs at humor, but the goal of the picture is not to generate laughs. (As far as laughter is concerned, I doubt the film could incite anything more than a guilty grimace.) Rather, its aim is to frighten us, to lead us into a fit of fury and indignation, out of which there is no escape but to turn the finger of blame on ourselves (and honestly, who wants to do that?).
As an indictment of the world's "dominant institution," the film is massively successful. Capable of inspiring concern, even outrage, in even the most skeptical (or oblivious) of moviegoers/

Chimichurri is an Argentine sauce typically used with red meat, but it is also excellent with fish and seafood. The traditional recipe always has parsley, garlic, and oregano, but I will mix it up from time to time depending on what herbs I have -- mint and borage (which tastes like cucumbers) are excellent substitutes with seafood.
What You'll Need
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 to 6 garlic cloves
- 1 cup parsley (or borage or watercress leaves)
- 1/2 cup oregano leaves (or 2 tablespoons dried)
- 2 teaspoons hot pepper flakes (or 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper)
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
How to Make It
- Heat the water, and dissolve the salt in it. Remove from heat. When water is cool enough to stick your finger in, proceed with the chimichurri.
- Put everything except the olive oil into a food processor and pulse to combine. You can puree it or leave it chunky. Your choice.
- With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil and buzz for 30 seconds to a minute. Allow it to marinate for a few hours before serving.
Chimichurri should hold up for a week or two in the fridge.

Icon for my web site
I could use the logo.gif image displayed at the top of this website, but is that acceptable?
Is there a different image available? Is someone planning on making one for this purpose?
In addition, someone might want to make one of those cute little 80x15 stickers that are popping up all over. Look at these for Firefox, PHP and my site. Don't they just make you want to click them? Many regulars here who have a website would put one on their sites for LinuxForums if it existed.

I don't remember ever seeing any "official" 80 x 15 buttons for the current site, but maybe Core Wizard will correct me if that's wrong.oz
07-23-2006 #4those kind of icons aren't so hard to build. You can use GIMP in just mere minutes.
But it was a suggestion about how this site could promote itself with the willing help of fans. It would be better to have an official image promoted by the site management than to have someone else generate an unofficial image, or multiple similar images.
Ideally, it would have a minature version of the penguin in the logo and look kind of like the firefox image. The hard part will be fitting "LinuxForums" in such a small space.
I figured I would propose the issue and see if anything happens. If not, maybe I would give it a shot and post it here. I'm not a graphic artist by any means, although I did make the one for my site.

Trouble with microarray. Too much variability between biological repeats - (Sep/14/2012 )
Alright I'm going into my 2nd year of grad school and for one of my experiments I'm doing a microarray on swarming cells in P. aeruginosa. Swarming is a type of motility in P. aeruginosa, and I'm doing a microarray of the wild type vs. a mutant which hyper swarms. I've had to work out some problems but I finally got the phenotypes I wanted. Basically I do everything up to and including the genomic DNA check after RNA extraction and DNase treatment, at which point a technician takes over and does the microarray.
I've attempted this twice, but each time there was too much variability between each of my biological repeats (P-values were too high) and this has eaten up ~8 months of my time. Are these types of problems normal? I feel like such a straggler right now but I'm still trying. I'm on my 3rd attempt, and I really have no idea what's going on. Here's a basic outline of what I do,
- Inoculate my swarm plates and let my mutants swarm for 18 hours
- Collect the swarm cells with a swab and "add" the cells to water + buffer by swishing the swab in the solution
- Add 2 volumes of RNA protect
- Centrifuge for appropriate amount of time
- RNA extract using QIAGEN RNA extraction kit
- DNase treat with Ambion DNase1
- Genomic check w/ rpsL
I've made sure all the conditions were the same, each BR was treated exactly the same to the best of my ability. I really don't know what's going on, so any help/suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you
You did not mention technical repeats. Have you included them, if yes, what is the variability between them? Without first knowing variability between technical repeats, it is hard to see what caused the variation between biological repeats.

Technical repeats weren't included, if there was variability between technical repeats, then I assume the problem is coming from the technicians end. But she has done microarrays on swarm cells before that have worked, so I think the problem is coming on my end. I just have no idea what is causing it since my part is so straight forward.
I've been thinking about this and the only thing I can possibly think of is that during the DNase treatment, I add DNase inactivation reagent, mix it, then centrifuge. I'm using the kit from Ambion. After centrifugation, the inactivation reagent forms a white "pellet" at the bottom. But I've noticed that it's quite "loose" and that it is disturbed quite easily. I try to avoid carryover, but there isn't any guarantee as it is quite difficult to tell.
I've been told you don't want carry over as this could inhibit other enzymes etc. If some of my biological repeats have this DNase inactivation reagent as contamination, I'm guessing this could lead to variability with my biological repeats?
Any other suggestions?

Heart of Midlothian manager John McGlynn admits he was disappointed to see his side draw with Edinburgh rivals Hibernian on Thursday night.
Hearts and Hibs played out a scoreless draw at Tynecastle and the result should have gone the way of the home side according to their boss.
"We had the possession and opportunities. Hibs had their opportunities as well but for every one of theirs, we probably had two," McGlynn said.
"I thought we played good football, tried to pass the ball, get it into good areas and were a bit unlucky because I think we deserved to win the game.
"We felt that we deserved a penalty in the first half as well," McGlynn added, referring to James McPake's tackle on Scott Robinson.
"I've not seen it again so it's difficult to say, but it looked like that when Scott went for the ball the player went right through him.
"At the time, I felt it was a penalty. TV evidence might tell us something different but I just thought it was a penalty at the time."
The result left Hearts in ninth position on the Scottish Premier League table on 26 points from 21 games whilst Hibs sit fourth on 32 points from 22 outings.

Behind the Beats: J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League
With each album, Rick Ross has grown — and not just physically. While his 2006 debut, Port of Miami, was filled with repetitive trap-rap anthems like "Hustlin'," "White House" and "Where My Money," the Bawse has expanded sonically with each release. Credit the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League with part of Ross' musical elevation.
Crafting four tracks on Rozay's sophomore Trilla, including the Jay-Z-featuring "Maybach Music," JL have gone on to land tracks on each of the Bawse's following albums. Expect no different from the upcoming God Forgives, I Don't.
"We just talked to the homey, and we're gonna have a big presence on that album," the League's Rook told Mixtape Daily while walking the black carpet at the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards.
With "Maybach Music," the Grammy Award-winning production trio — consisting of Rook, Colione and Kenny Barto — gave Ross a well-orchestrated instrumental, complete with strings and operatic background vocals. It's a formula they followed on the song's 2009 sequel, "Maybach Music Part 2," with Ross, T-Pain, Lil Wayne and Kanye West, as well on "Maybach Music Part 3" from Rozay's Teflon Don LP.
With Ross tracks like "Aston Martin Music," "Rich Off Cocaine" and "Magnificent" already under their belt, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League have proven to be more musical than many of their rap contemporaries. For God Forgives, I Don't, the Tampa, Florida, beatmakers look to help elevate Ross' sound once again.
"It's funny because you think that [Ross] might've reached his peak," Rook said. "People think that they might've figured his sound out, but when they hear the new album, they're gonna be chasing that new sound."

LA CONFIDENTIAL is a rare cinema treat filled great acting, clever writing and an intriguing story that unravels with exquisite pleasure. A well-plotted murder mystery, this movie draws you into a seductive world of betrayal and corruption where nothing is as it first seems. An overly talented cast creates memorable characters that will stick in your mind for days. Some people may dismiss this film as slow and confusing, I found it to be a joy to watch. A film that not only has an amazingly interesting story to tell, but also captures the nuances and essence of a certain time in history.
Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe and Guy Pierce put their prodigious acting muscles on display as police detectives in Los Angeles in the early 1950's. They each have their own style Spacey is friendly yet slightly crooked, Crowe uses his brawn before his brain and Pierce is an up-and-comer who knows how to play the game though can't stomach the violence intrinsic within it. Those in charge have one main motivation: to protect the newly positive reputation of Los Angeles as a land of paradise with unlimited opportunities. These men are forced to work together to hide the city's vast underbelly of crime from the eyes of the world. They do it because it's their duty, however, there is no love lost between them.
Pierce's character's meteoric rise within the department gets an additional boost when he rats out a group of fellow officers for breaking the rules, which makes him even less popular with the regular cops. He also gets acclaim from his superiors for supposedly solving the "Night Owl" murder case a seemingly random massacre in a local diner. However, there's something about the Night Owl murders that doesn't sit well with him. After consulting Crowe, who's partner was one of the victims, they both start doing a little secret snooping into the now closed case. They each use their own methods of police work to come to the conclusion that the men in jail for the murders were not involved after all. Soon there's no way out as the clues begin to uncover corruption and murder at an unthinkable level, forcing them into a fight for their lives.
"Don't start tryin' to do the right thing, boy-o. You haven't the practice."

Family life and relationships influence every person virtually every day. Any contact one has with other individuals brings an entire array of emotions and past memories to the surface. In addition, the way that people treat others, whether they are family or friends, is based directly on that individual's perceptions of life, his desires and his usual method of dealing with problems. Therefore, a thorough understanding of relationship problems and solutions is imperative.
Some of the most common relationships include those between parents and children, between siblings, between a husband and wife and between friends of the same gender. Typical concerns in these categories include parenting, discipline, sibling rivalry, justice, equity, honesty romance and love. While many people try to sort these matters out on their own, it often takes an outside source to bring clarity and meaning to certain relational problems. Many times, an outsider will be able to offer a refreshingly new perspective that can help the individual to tackle his problem. Goodrelationships are vital in today's society. As families live farther apart from each other and as friendships are often begun and maintained via technology, new relational dilemmas are appearing. Bullying and cyber threats are more feared than ever. Many families do not even know how to communicate with each other, and live each day without knowing much about each other's lives instead. However, a strong relationship, whether it be with a spouse, friend, colleague or child, can bring joy and meaning to everyday life. Without family and relationships, much of life would be stale and meaningless.

Is it possible to test games on Android yet?
I just read in the tutorial it direct canvas doesn't work on Android, however if I export a project without direct canvas, and upload to the XDK, I just get a blank screen.
Do I need to publish the game to google play to test it?

Dearest Memorial Staff Members,
My amazing mentor, Susan Disanto, puts it best, "Like movies, books have a shelf life." I am in the process of weeding our library. At this time, I have only finished weeding the picture books. Although there are various exceptions, here is my typical weeding criteria:
- Circulation: if the book has been only checked out a couple of times during the last five years, I may have weeded it.
- Condition: if the book is stained, smelly, and/or has broken bindings and/or torn pages, I may have weeded it.
- Copyright Date: if the book is outdated, I may have weeded it.
- Quantity: if we had multiple copies of wonderful books such as The Little Engine That Could, I may have weeded some and left one. We only need multiple copies of titles with high circulation.
In the May 2016 issue of American Libraries: The Magazine of the American Library Association is a helpful article, "Weeding without Worry: Transparency and communication helps ease weeding woes." Rebecca Vnuk advises librarians to, "explain that the library is making room for new materials, making the shelves easier to navigate, and replacing outdated information with current information."During your class library time, or anytime, during the rest of the school year, please go into the book room to take any of the weeded books you would like for your classroom library. The weeded books are on the left with a weeded book sign and will be organized alphabetically. (Please place a sticker over the library barcode, indicating your class, so the weeded books don't come back to the library.) Please also invite any students into the book room to take books they would like to keep at home. The remaining weeded books will be donated to Big Hearted Books on June 16th. Disclaimer: I'm still not finished so please check the book room often. This tedious process is taking me a long, LONG time.
Please add any books (old and/or new) you'd like me to purchase for the library onto this document. And please remind students that they can request books we don't yet have, or are not in, through their Follett Destiny account.
If you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns, please let me know.

today i am thankful for my best friend joni.
happy birthday beautiful lady!!
(i stole this recent picture of her and her boys from her facebook.)
joni has been such a faithful and loyal friend to me. we met in college and really got close at the end. she once saved my life while backpacking the grand canyon (another story, another time), and i believe she saved it once again when we lost matthew. she has a heart for God, her family, friends, her patients, and most everyone she meets. literally, this girl will give you the shirt off her back. she is generous, kind, fun, and the kind of girl you love to call your friend. we've been through amazing wonderful moments, and heartbreaking sad ones. through it all, she has been there for me every step of the way. and the icing on the cake is that her husband is best friends with mine so i know we're friends for life. even when we're in our 80s with grey hair, no teeth, and fading memories. ;-)
sweet friend, i hope you have a beautiful day with your amazing family. i love you!

1. 2010 Election: Florida Senate
Who's Who: Republican Marco Rubio was up against Independent (formerly Republican) Charlie Crist and Democrat Kendrick Meek for a Florida Senate seat.
Who won: Cuban American politician Marco Rubio, a Tea Party favorite, won the race by a relative landslide. He was able to take advantage of the voters split between the more seasoned, moderate Republican Crist and the younger, left-leaning Meek.
What it means for us: Rubio believes that President Barack Obama's domestic spending and health care policies are terrible and has vowed to work to reverse the health care bill if elected to Senate. He is against repealing don't ask, don't tell and supports passage of an amendment against same-sex marriage. In terms of immigration, Rubio doesn't believe that undocumented immigrants should be counted in the 2010 census and opposes amnesty in any reform. Rubio has stated that Arizona's SB 1070 unfairly singled out certain citizens.
2. 2010 Election: Colorado Governor
Who's who: Dan Maes won the Republican primary and immediately called on Tom Tancredo to drop out, but the former Republican congressman refused and ran on a Tea Party platform. The two men faced off against Democrat John Hickenlooper in the Colorado gubernatorial race.
Who won: John Hickenlooper is the winner of the race for the Governor of Colorado.
What it means for us: This former mayor championed homeless services, marijuana legalization and sustainable development practice while running the city of Denver, CO. He believes deeply in investing in the public school system through initiatives on accountability, standards and assessments and effective governance. Hickenlooper's economic policies revolve around job creation and recovery. Of immigration, the former mayor said, "We need a nonpartisan approach to solve this problem for the entire country and enforceable reform that doesn't abridge the basic freedom of our citizens."
3. 2010 Election: New Mexico Governor
Who's who: Mexican American Susana Martinez is running on the Republican ticket against outgoing Governor Bill Richardson's handpicked Democratic successor Diane Denish in New Mexico. If Martinez wins, she will be the first Latina governor in the history of the United States.
Who won: Susana Martinez is the projected winner, in the process making history.
What it means for us: Susana Martinez has a firm commitment to gun rights and is pro-life. She does not believe that big government should play a role in health care. Martinez wants to strengthen the New MexiKids healthcare programs. She wants to repeal the law that allows undocumented immigrants to obtain driver's licenses and opposes providing illegal immigrants with funds for education through lottery scholarships.
4. 2010 Election: California Governor
Who's who: Republican gubernatorial candidate and former Ebay CEO Meg Whitman is facing Democratic nominee Jerry Brown in California.
Who won: Jerry Brown won the race for Governor of California.
What it means for us: Brown was already Governor in of the state of California from 1974-1982. During his time as Governor he was a fiscal conservative and has historically supported issues as environmentalism, conservation, and public education. Throughout his tenure as Attorney General he championed consumer protections. He wants to implement new renewable energy strategies and conserve California's farmland.
5. 2010 Election: Nevada Senate
Who's who: In what is arguably the most important and influential Senate race in the 2010 election, Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid is facing Republican Sharron Angle.
Who won: Senator Harry Reid managed to hang on to his senate seat, which is huge for the Democratic party.
What it means for us: For Latinos, what matters most is that we dodged a real bullet with the defeat of Sharron Angle. The Republican candidate ran a slew of ads depicting Latinos as criminals and freeloaders and told a group of high school students she didn't think they were Hispanic since they "all look Asian." Reid has held this senate seat since 1986, and his conservative Democratic stance is unlikely to change. Reid believes in restricting abortion rights. He passed a senate ethics bill in 2007 restricting what congressmen can accept from lobbyists. He voted in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act but against the Federal Marriage Amendment.
6. 2010 Election: Nevada Governor
Who's who: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's son Rory won the Democratic nomination for the governor of Nevada. He faces Latino Republican candidate Brian Sandoval, who is the former Nevada Attorney General.
Who won: Brian Sandoval won this race in a close-call, becoming the first Latino governor of Nevada.
What it means for us: Sandoval is a conservative, who stands opposed to allowing undocumented citizens to get driver's licenses and amnesty of any sort. He also opposed the Family Medical Leave act, which allows people to take workplace leaves when a member of their family is gravely ill. Sandoval believes in using a pay-for-performance scale for teacher salaries. He supports a lawsuit against the federal government regarding the federal healthcare legislation on the premise that it is violation of state's rights. Sandoval is a pro-choice. Although he voted for a tax increase in 2003 to help balance the state budget, he believes that any corporate income tax must be stopped.

Call for town to vote for Prodijig
THE aunt of a young Dundalk man is calling on members of the public to support him and his dance troupe by voting for Prodijig in the final of Got to Dance 2012.
Sandra McCabe from Cedarwood Park said that she hopes the town will text into the show next Sunday and vote for her 22-year-old nephew, Darren Casey.
"We are all looking forward to seeing Darren perform again. It's very exciting. It would mean the world to him if he won this competition," said Sandra.
"There are some great acts up against him but Prodijig are the favourites to win it. I hope people will vote because no matter how good they are they need the votes to be sure of winning it.
"I think it's just 8 cent to vote here in Ireland and 5p to vote in England so the text cost is very reasonable compared to other TV talent shows."
Sandra added: "Darren doesn't just want to win this for the money. If they win, they are hoping to set up a dance studio which would be a dream come true for them."
Darren's dance troupe - Prodijig - was among the first two acts to be voted in to next Sunday's Got To Dance 2012 grand final at London's Olympia.
The Irish dancer from Fatima triumphed in a public vote last month after Prodijig, a seven-strong troupe, received three gold stars from the judges.
A former De La Salle student, Darren joined Mona Ni Rodaigh's dance school when he was six years old and went on to become a member of Riverdance.
His mother, Linda, is travelling to London with her husband and Darren's sister, Michelle, along with some other family members and friends to support Darren at the final.
Got To Dance continues next Sunday, March 4 at 6pm on Sky 1 (HD), when a variety of dancers will compete for the chance to win the £250,000 prize.
Prodijig is made up of seven Irish dancers, five boys and two girls, ranging in age from 21 to 27, from the current professional Riverdance' tour.
They have incorporated hip hop and Rn'B music, non-traditional outfits and have broken away from the norms of the Irish dancing tradition.
Prodijig might be set for a Late Late Show appearance in the coming weeks. However, a date has not yet been confirmed. Prodijig performed for actors Michael Fassbender and Chris O'Dowd at the IFTAs on Sunday, February 11.
The rising stars are currently in rehearsals in Belfast for the Got To Dance final on March 4.

NDSP releases campus crime statistics
Emma Driscoll | Friday, September 19, 2008
Notre Dame Security Police (NDSP) sent crime statistics for the month of August via e-mail to students September 12, which they use to help inform students of possible dangers on campus.
"We want students to be aware of where crime is occurring and they can make decisions about whether they want to frequent these places," Assistant Director of NDSP David Chapman said.
The e-mail reported one burglary, taking place in the Pasquerilla Center on August 4 and 28 accounts of larceny.
Chapman said that a suspect has been identified for the burglary and has been taken into custody.
Of the larceny cases, 20 involved bicycles, one involved a wallet, one involved a purse that was later returned, one involved a laptop computer, one involved an ID card, and one involved an ATM card, according to NDSP officer Keri Shibata. Other cases involved tools reported stolen and then reported recovered by the owner on the same day, tent stakes, video games, DVDs and food, Shibata said.
The e-mail included comparative data from the months of July and August about crimes taking place in Northeast South Bend. The number of aggravated assaults jumped from 4 to 10 between the two months.
Shibata said that NDSP has not received information that students were involved in these aggravated assaults.
Chapman said the only way NDSP receives information about students being involved in off-campus crime is if the student identifies himself or herself as a student to the officer and if the officer includes this identification in a report.
NDSP has also not received information of students being involved in the two rape cases reported in the month of August in Northeast South Bend.
Shibata said that crime statistics will continue to be sent to students monthly.
"Maybe being aware of the crime that is taking place will help [students] seek options that will make it more difficult for crimes to be committed against them," Shibata said.
Students can also find more information about crime on campus through NDSP's Crime Blotter. NDSP sends Crime Alerts if they determine that students should be aware of a situation immediately.
"If it's something where student safety is at risk, we send out a crime alert as soon as we possibly can," Shibata said.
Chapman said that NDSP tries to send the most important information to students.
"We have to judge. A lot of people, if they get so much [e-mail] from NDSP, they will delete it," Chapman said. "We have to be careful how much information we saturate students with," he said.
NDSP urges students to contact them whenever they feel that something is suspicious.
Phone calls from students, faculty and employees made it possible for NDSP to catch three subjects in cases last April and May.
In one case last April, a student called NDSP to report a suspicious person, Chapman said. NDSP stopped the person who was from East Chicago who was suspected in several burglaries at Notre Dame and at other colleges, Chapman said.
"He was targeting colleges and universities and going through dorms stealing things," Shibata said.
The subject also had unrelated felony charges in Marion County, Chapman said.
Also in April, a faculty phone call enabled NDSP to apprehend a subject leaving Stepan Chemistry Hall with a stolen laptop computer, Chapman said. This subject was also identified as a suspect in other cases, Chapman said.
In May, a ND employee phone call helped NDSP stop another person identified as being in dorms. The subject was on parole at the time he was stopped.
Chapman pointed out that none of these cases involved a break-in or forced entry.
"One of the best ways to prevent these things from happening is to not let people in that you don't know. Be suspicious," he said.
Shibata stressed the importance students reporting suspicious activity or people.
"During that time, there were several instances when we would get called several hours after the fact," Shibata said. "It's vital for us that when people see something is suspicious, even if they are not sure what's going on or why it's suspicious, call immediately because we have very good response time and if we're given timely information, we can catch up with these people."
If students would like to receive e-mail alerts of crime against students in the city of South Bend, e-mail Cpl. Hechlinski at [email protected], the e-mail said.

The form of the Receipts and any provision of this Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Company and the Depositary without the consent of holders of Receipts in any respect that the Company and the Depositary may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that no such amendment (other than any change in the fees of any Depositary, Registrar or Transfer Agent that are payable by the Company) which imposes additional charges or materially and adversely alters any substantial existing right of the holders of Depositary Shares shall be effective unless such amendment shall have been approved by the holders of Receipts evidencing at least a majority of the affected Depositary Shares then outstanding.

This past week we've had a team of 8 people from NewChurch Georgetown in Texas visiting their Sister Church in Abricot, which is the northwest end of the Southern peninsula. Rob has the privilege of serving with this team this week.
It started raining in Cayes where we live on Saturday and has been raining ever since. Rob tells me that the rain didn't start in Abricot until Tuesday around noon. That was good news for the team! They were able to accomplish most of what they set out to do on this trip. Once we realized there was a big storm coming, RMI leadership quickly determined it was time to get out of Abricot. The road into the town can quickly become impassable with a lot of rain and they didn't want to be stranded there. So they packed everything up Tuesday afternoon and left around 3 pm (instead of the planned Wednesday morning departure.) Not only did they want to get out of Abricot, but they wanted to get to the Ice River to cross it before it swelled too much. When they got there, the river was already impassable.
This is the video of the path to cross the river:
They tried to wait it out. I think they slept in the trucks for a while and at some point turned around and went to the church in Duchity and slept in the church. The pastor and his family there are taking great care of them. So they've been in Duchity since Tuesday night. Since then, there have been some mudslides on the road as well.
Pray for them and the team: for patience and wisdom as they wait out the storm. I am amazed at how much rain we are getting from Hurricane Sandy, and according to the map, it looks like we are in for a dumping today as well.
Personally, our family is hanging in there. With this amount of rain, the roof, which doesn't usually leak, has started to leak in certain spots and water is seeping thru the concrete walls on the south side of our house. We had quite a bit of wind yesterday, so there are a lot of leaves and large branches down all over. School is cancelled today, so it looks like we will have another movie marathon day. Pray for the kids and I—we are all getting restless.
Last, but nor least, please pray for the Haitian people. I have a pretty dry house that sits up on a hill with no chance of flash flooding. So many others are not so fortunate; many have very leaky roofs, and their homes sit in low lying areas. There is much flooding all over the western peninsula.

Kirk Brock hired into Federal-Mogul on March 16, 1981 as a production supervisor after having worked previously at Motor Wheel. Kirk's father, Bud, worked at F-M along with Kirk's sister, Sandy, and his two uncles, Dick and Bob.
Again we find family ties at Federal-Mogul, and it was great while it lasted.

My blog uses Michael Martine's "Sapphire" theme. I often add images to posts, typically at the beginning, and I align these images "left" so text flows around them. If I put "vertical space" and "horizontal space" into the image settings, they seem to be ignored. This isn't true in other themes.
Here's an example. The image has 10 pixels of space horizontally and vertically, but you don't see it:
I've purchased the custom CSS upgrade. Is there anything I can do to make this work?
Many thanks in advance to anybody who can help.

Futures Forum for High-level Decision-Makers; World Health Organization. Regional Office for Europe ( 2003 )
The Fourth Futures Forum brought together decision-makers and senior advisers from 14 western European countries. The focus of the meeting was on the scope, use and limitations of evidence-based recommendations as tools for decision-making in public health. Participants agreed that the need for informed decisions had never been greater. Public expectations, new technologies, growing public health challenges and the pressure for greater accountability require policy development to take evidence into account wherever this is feasible. Population health is determined by a wide range of social, economic and health service factors. As such, evidence-based recommendations must embrace an equally wide range of research methods, including qualitative studies, social surveys and process evaluation. In addition, despite the growing evidence base for effective public health, this is frequently not translated into clear recommendations for public health decision-making. It is proposed, therefore, that guidelines for evidence-based recommendations for policy should be further developed to inform public health decision-making

MEA denies breach of protocol by Presidents family member during Mexico visitMay 1st, 2008 - 9:38 pm ICT by admin
New Delhi, May 1 (ANI): Indian Minister of State for External Affairs Anand Sharma denied on Thursday any breach of protocol by the family member of President Pratibha Devisingh Patil during her Mexico visit.
According to reports President Pratibha Patils son Rajendra Singh Shekhawat, who accompanied her on her trip to Latin America in April, went away briefly to the US to attend to personal business.
Giving further clarifications in this regard, Sharma said that the government had prior information of Rajendra Singh`s visit to US.
There is no breach of protocol involved whatsoever, it was known right at the beginning that up to a particular point he would be travelling along with the delegation and thereof he will proceed for a scheduled meeting with the University of Florida, said Sharma.
It is not the first time that the members of the delegation who have traveled with the VVIP, the President or the Prime Minister if they have scheduled engagements, they are not required to return with the delegation they continue the journey or also travel elsewhere, added Sharma.
Recently President Patil wrapped up her maiden foreign visit to Latin American countries.
During her tour to Mexico, Patil met her Mexican counterpart Felipe Calderon Hinojose. Both reiterated their assurance that the two countries would seek to promote bilateral relations that depend on goodwill and friendship between people. Both leaders also emphasized the importance of expanding contacts in different fields like culture, education, tourism and film and television.
India and Mexico signed two agreements, one for cooperation in civil aviation and the other for cooperation in the energy sector. (ANI)

CLEVELAND (AP) — Ohio has received $2.38 million in federal disaster aid to repair a park damaged by Superstorm Sandy.
Gordon Park along Lake Erie in Cleveland was severely damaged from strong winds, storm surges and heavy rainfall when the storm hit last October.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced the grant Friday.
The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/15Cm72t) reports that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources plans to restore the park to its pre-disaster design. The money will be used for shoreline protection and other expenses such as labor, equipment and materials to repair handrails and posts.
Cleveland Metroparks began managing the park last month. But a Metroparks spokeswoman says the state requested the disaster aid and will manage the grant and repairs.
The 122-acre park just east of downtown opened in 1893.

Morgan Bay Footprints Festival 2017
The quaint town of Morgan Bay will be hosting their annual, eco-friendly Footprints Festival on the weekend of 23-25 June 2017.
The aim of the festival is to put the Wild Coast village on the map, showcasing and celebrating the many facets of life that make Morgan Bay a South African town worth paying attention to. Attendees of the festivals will have their eye's opened to its rich ecology, culture and heritage.
The residents of Morgan Bay laid the foundation of this ever-growing initiative, in which has involved itself in various community upliftment projects, including iXara Creche and the development of a recycling endeavour.
While the lineup has not yet been released, attendees can look forward to a jam-packed day of activities for the kids, trail and mountain bike races, open days at the Morganville Motorcycle Museum, art exhibitions and much more! There will also be live entertainment happening throughout the day, with "The Voice" singer, Aston Wiley entrancing the crowds with his soulful tunes.
If you like arts and market knickknackery, the Footprints Festival's craft market is a must-see. Peruse through the stalls and purchase some memorabilia to remember the day by.
As there is a strong focus on reducing one's carbon footprint, festival-goers are encouraged to choose an alternative mode of transport other than driving. So step out of your petrol guzzlers and explore the town's many attractions by foot.
Come along for a weekend of family fun and learn more about this gem of a village!

BIGGER, BETTER: If Craig Stowe's annual Luxury & Supercar Weekend and concours d'elegance keeps growing, it may occupy an entire golf course. That's what its VanDusen Botanical Garden site was from 1911 to 1960. Eight years before duffers teed off there, concours exhibitor Paul Carter's Columbia car had cost its first owner $1,750, plus $200 for a canopy top. Carter paid $12,000 for the now-weary jalopy and, with pal Peter Trant, spent eight years restoring it. Still good for 50 km/h, the 1903 "light tonneau" was the oldest vehicle on the VanDusen lawn. Beside it stood Trant's 1911 Chalmers that, apart from the driver's-seat cushion and spark plugs (the old ones are in its tool box), is utterly original and thus more valuable. Like its owner's 1966 Mustang, though, it can garner speeding tickets anywhere in town.

Bullhorn-toting folk harangued arriving guests, who included B.C. Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon and JNF president Ilene-Jo Bellas. They might have protested less if they'd known of event honouree Gary Segal chairing a $32-million campaign for Ronald McDonald House at B.C. Children's Hospital, of his similar roles at other hospitals, and of a million-dollar fundraising for children's health-services in Ethiopia directed by Dr. Rick Hodes, who was present.
This weekend there's lots to do around the province with six communities outside Metro Vancouver holding car events. And there's no excuse not to go to the races at Agassiz.
Ernie McNaughton was a teenager in the mid 1950s when older cars were readily available and cheap. So when his 1940 Ford sedan broke down on the highway at Malakwa between Salmon Arm and Revelstoke, the 16-year-old just left it there by the side of the road.
In early April, I wrote a column about Quinn Lessing, an 18-year-old student at Coquitlam's Pinetree Secondary. He was looking for a car. Not just any car: He wanted, as he put it, "a hot car that would turn heads," and he wanted it only for one day.
As readers may know, I'm currently doing a longterm test drive of GM's plug-in hybrid, the Chevrolet Volt. This week, I've thrown my Western Canada Wilderness Committee card out the window to review another General Motors' product, though one that couldn't be more different than the Volt.

More than ever, the sports car segment covers a range of price-points, designs, and power outputs, furnishing a diverse selection for every wallet and every dreamt-about level of performance. From track dominators to "fun-in-the-sun" roadsters, the Vancouver International Auto Show will have them all. Here's a sampling of the sporty rides to be found. 2014 Corvette Stingray
I've always maintained the sound of a vehicle has an impact on its performance. Not that it will accelerate, stop or go around corners any better than a muter counterpart; but the sound of a healthy performance engine that gets a little throaty under demand raises the pleasure bar on a motoring experience.
The car represents a strong family bond among and an immigrant success story
By the late-60s, the muscle car era had reached a crescendo, with more and more horsepower being crammed under the hoods of mid-sized cars. Power-sucking emission control equipment wouldn't be introduced until the next year in the 1971 models. At the front of the herd of muscle cars being offered for the 1970 model year was the luxurious, sporty and very quick Ford Cougar Eliminator. The advertising boasted: "Password for action. Spoilers hold it down. Nothing holds it back. Now that's attitude!"
BADEN-BADEN, GERMANY On Sunday, driving the countryside of Germany, you will find just about anything and everything as far as motorcycles are concerned. If you can put a licence plate on it, the Germans will ride it.
Sigmund Freud died 14 years before the Corvette was unleashed on the world, so we'll never know for certain what the father of psychoanalysis would have had to say about Chevy's iconic two-seater. We do, however, have the theories of dime-store shrinks who have speculated for decades that the desire to own and to drive a Corvette is to make up for, how shall we say it, a shortcoming of sorts.
The Boss is back and now with even more eye-catching appeal. Those who are not avid followers of Mustang history might not know that one of the most iconic trim levels sold, from 1969 to 1970, was the Boss Mustang. The original was fitted with a high-revving V8 engine rated at 290 horsepower and wrapped with an exterior body kit that included a front and rear spoiler, black hood and side stripes.
The first question I often get asked when I meet someone new is "What kind of car do you drive?" Most think my answer indicates some great insider knowledge about a particular vehicle's quality or driveability. My standard answer is "a black one."

Triangular Tournament
Zimbabwe 205-9 (E Chigumbura 64) v Bangladesh 167 (Shakib Al Hasan 52)
Zimbabwe beat Bangladesh by 38 runs
Zimbabwe beat Bangladesh by 38 runs in the opening match of the triangular one-day series in Dhaka.
Elton Chigumbura struck a patient 64 to lead the tourists to a total of 205-9 after they had been asked to bat.
Shakib Al Hasan, who had earlier claimed three wickets with his left-arm spin, led Bangladesh's reply with a defiant 52, but the chase faltered after Chigumbura (1-21) picked up his wicket.
Bangladesh were all out for 167 in 46.2 overs and now have to beat Sri Lanka - the third side in the competition - on Wednesday to keep themselves in contention for a spot in the final.
The Tigers had hoped to exploit early-morning conditions at the Shere Bangla National Stadium but debutant Mahbubul Alam (0-66) proved erratic with the new ball and was hit for consecutive boundaries in his first over by Hamilton Masakadza (16).
The opening stand, however, yielded only 23 runs as Masakadza was sent back by Mashrafe Mortaza (2-41) in the fifth over. Fellow opener Vusi Sibanda (15) also fell cheaply and, thereafter, Zimbabwe lost wickets at regular intervals.
Rescue act
Chigumbura, who scored his runs from 95 deliveries with five fours and a six, managed to forge small but useful partnerships with the lower half of the batting order to get Zimbabwe past the 200-run mark.
Bangladesh lost opener Junaid Siddique for a duck, lbw to Prosper Utseya, in only the second over and struggled to recover.
Their most experienced campaigners, skipper Mohammad Ashraful (17) and Tamim Iqbal (14), were both dismissed in the same Utseya over - Ashraful caught at long-on and Tamim run out - as Zimbabwe gained the upper hand.
Shakib kept Bangladesh in the hunt for a while, but his departure ended their resistance.
Ray Price (2-35) and skipper Utseya (2-22) finished with two wickets apiece for Zimbabwe.

Well we're still getting tons of submissions. Some things I want to mention. Please try to have a longer description of the game. I've had to reject a few games with one and two line description entries. Also any images submitted, like box covers or screen shots, must be captured by you. We've seen a couple people submitting copyrighted material taken from other sites. This is a no-no. Also if you are submitting console game entries please make sure you include the Technical Specs. A lot of people are leaving that out. OK OK. Enough complaining. Great entries everyone. Keep it up. Oh yeah and we LOVE seeing reviews so keep those coming.
