Katy Perry Approves if Rihanna + Chris Brown Date Again
Some observers are troubled that Rihanna would consider getting back together with Chris Brown, given that he pleaded guilty to assaulting her, but Katy Perry says that if RiRi wants to reconcile with Breezy, she would support the pairing.
Hollywood Life quotes a source close to Perry who says, "Katy and Rihanna are best friends. Katy will support anything that Rihanna does. Rihanna has been there for Katy through everything and they want the other to be happy."
A different source quoted by the website says the rumors about Rihanna and Brown reconciling are accurate: "They love each other, pure and simple. Looks like this is the beginning of them getting back together. Some people around her aren't happy and are trying to stop [the relationship], but it's looking like it can't be stopped."
Brown and Rihanna recently added guest verses to each other's songs, a move which has reportedly earned criticism behind closed doors from Jay-Z and others who haven't forgiven Brown. Rihanna appears on the 'Turn Up the Music' remix, while Breezy jumped on the new recording of 'Birthday Cake.'
Perry has been working out her own relationship issues after husband Russell Brand filed for divorce in December. 'Part of Me,' the song that seems to address the divorce, currently occupies the No. 1 position on the singles chart.

Milestone Payments
The Milestone Payment system is the recommended mode of paying freelancers on the site. It offers protection to both employers and freelancers by giving equal control over created payments for awarded projects. Only employers can create and release them, and only freelancers can cancel and return them to their employers.
Every Milestone Payment that is created manually or automatically will have its own invoice. Both the freelancer and the employer can view and download the invoice from the project's page.
Creating Milestone Payments automatically charges the employer's account or verified payment method. We will then hold the funds until the employer chooses to release them to their freelancer.
Releasing Milestone Payments transfers the funds to the freelancer's account. By releasing payments, employers acknowledge complete satisfaction with the freelancer's delivered work.
Cancelling Milestone Payments cancels the pending payment, and returns the funds to the employer's Freelancer.com account.
Using the Milestone Payment System also makes our Dispute Resolution Service available to you, which allows contesting the return or release of in progress Milestone Payments.

There is something about a Martini,
A tingle remarkable pleasant;
A yellow*, a mellow Martini;
I wish that I had one at present.
There is something about a Martini,
Ere the dining and dancing begin,
And to tell you the truth,
It is not the vermouth–
I think that perhaps it's the gin.
–From "A Drink with Something in It," by Ogden Nash
*Consider this: Take a chilled mixing glass. Add cracked ice, 4-1/2 ounces gin, 1-1/2 ounces dry vermouth, and 2-4 dashes orange bitters. Stir it, and stir it, and stir it. Strain it into two chilled cocktail glasses, and you have martinis for two. You also have, if you squint, a slight yellow tint from the orange bitters.

NC energy panel continues work on fracking
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — A panel responsible for developing regulations that would allow for expanded North Carolina inland energy exploration is meeting to review issues like managing waste, environmental standards and water use.
The Mining and Energy Commission meet Tuesday and Wednesday in Raleigh.
The former state mining commission was reconstituted last summer to address potential exploration methods such as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Lawmakers want new regulations in place by October 2014. The Legislature would have to act again before permits could be granted.
Wednsday's meeting will include a public comment period for 10 speakers, each of whom will get three miutes to describe their thoughts about fracking.
The fracking process injects a drilled well with chemicals, water and sand at high pressure to crack shale rock and release natural gas.

1. "Your kid loves me more than you."
As the number of families in which both parents work has grown, so too has many Americans' dependence on nannies. From 2008 to 2013, caregiving job site Care.com says, the number of families looking for a nanny on its site grew an average of 85% annually. And not only do more families need caregivers, but the kids are spending a lot of time with them. Seven in 10 nannies work full time, according to the International Nanny Association, often spending 40 or more hours a week with a single family or even living with them (about one in 10 nannies lives with the family). Because nannies spend so much time with the children, some kids become more attached to this caretaker than to their own parents, says Chicago-area psychologist Elizabeth Lombardo. "I had a child ask to call me Mommy," says former Atlanta nanny Sarena Brook Carter, 35, which, she adds, wasn't surprising: "The parents were never there, I got the kids up and put them to bed and went everywhere with them."
Furthermore, "kids might associate the nanny with positive time, because they have a lot of fun and good experiences with the nanny, playing and relaxing," Lombardo says. Meanwhile, many parents are working full time and trying to juggle child-rearing and work, which can leave them "harried," she says. Former nanny Pam Behan, who has cared for several prominent Hollywood families, says that a strong nanny-child bond can cause a lot of problems: "You want to love and nurture the child, but if you get too close, it causes friction [with the parents]."

On Nov. 15-17, 100.7 WHUD will host the 13th Annual Radiothon For The Kids. The three-day live broadcast from Maria Fareri Children's Hospital will feature interviews with Hudson Valley children and their families, who will share uplifting and inspiring stories of triumph over the significant medical challenges they faced while under the care of Maria Fareri Children's Hospital.
The annual event is a fundraiser for the hospital, a member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network, which provides children from the Hudson Valley with life-changing and lifesaving care including open-heart surgery, brain surgery, cancer treatments, trauma and burn care, organ transplants, advanced neonatal services and other advanced pediatric care.
Below is the story of one child who benefited from the hospital's lifesaving treatment:
Sophia Pinto, Age 4
While just 16 weeks pregnant, Sophia's mother Christina found out her baby girl was going to have multiple congenital heart defects, including a severely underdeveloped right ventricle and several unformed valves. A short seven days after birth, Sophia had her first lifesaving open-heart surgery and has had two more successful surgeries since then. Today, Sophia is a happy, healthy 4-year-old.

New London City Council panel could investigate Ackley
New London - There's a lawsuit pending, the city attorney is investigating, and now a City Council committee is considering its own inquiry into allegations the police union has made against Chief Margaret Ackley.
"I think it's important we don't sweep this under the rug, said Councilor Marie Friess-McSparran, a member of the Administration Committee, which Monday night discussed the union's request but took no action.
"I know there's pending litigation, and an investigation with the law director ... but this committee could hold hearings and get to the bottom of this request from the union,'' she said.
Part of the issue is an email correspondence Ackley had with a private resident last fall. The union has alleged Ackley violated the police department's Duty Manual when she told the resident how to find personal information on a number of police officers.
Officer Todd Lynch, president of AFSME Local 724, has alleged that Ackley used her position as chief to advise a private citizen on how to obtain disciplinary files on himself, Master Patrol Officer Roger Baker, and Officers Charles Flynn, Cornelius Rodgers and Joshua Bergeson. All were targeted because they were active in union activities, Lynch said.
Lynch acknowledged that the information was available to the public under the Freedom of Information Act, but Ackley's intent was to "embarrass, humiliate and retaliate against the officers," he wrote to the council.
Lynch filed a lawsuit in March against the city and the chief, which includes allegations of "libelous" emails sent between Ackley and Kathleen Mitchell, a local political gadfly. Lynch also alleges he was disciplined at work for being outspoken critic of the chief.
"This has to get resolved,'' Council President Michael Passero said on Monday. But he said the council must proceed cautiously so as not violate anyone's right to due process.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said Monday he asked the city attorney to look into the allegations in May and has received a preliminary report. He expects to release a full report to the public in the near future and take disciplinary action, if any is warranted.
He said he asked the city law department to conduct the investigation, even through the union asked for an independent investigator, because it is a personnel matter.
"Nothing in the allegation suggests something criminal, or any kind of public corruption,'' Finizio said. "If there was, I would ask for outside probe. But I feel this is well within the purview of the law department."
John Maynard, chairman of the Administration Committee, said he would seek advice from the city attorney on how to proceed and report back to the committee.
"My thinking is as a city councilor I'm responsible to the citizens of New London as well as to our employees,'' he said. "This can't be taken lightly."
After the meeting he said he had heard a rumor the city attorney was investigating, but had not received any official word from the mayor's office.
Councilor Adam Sprecace, a third member of the committee, said the council has discussed in closed session the pending litigation and questioned whether the council should be getting involved.
"I'd like to hear arguments from the other side on why the council should not be going down this path,'' he said.

Back in May 2010, England Under-17s managed to win a European Championship.
It was the first England team since 1993's squad, which contained the likes of Sol Campbell, Paul Scholes and Robbie Fowler to win the competition.
What made this victory even more impressive was that it came against the all-conquering Spanish juggernauts. Most of that squad has stayed together and have travelled to Turkey for the U20 World Championship which begun on the 21 of June.
With England's weakness tending to be in midfield where they lack the players capable of holding onto the ball, I take a look at three midfielders who will hope to aid Arsenal's Jack Wilshere in remedying that situation over the coming years.
Conor Coady
The captain of both the victorious U17 squad and the U20 team, Liverpool's youngster has been tipped for a bright future in the game and has even been compared to team mate and Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.
Just like Gerrard, his preferred role is as a box-to-box midfielder, but standing at 6'1 and with a muscular frame, he is also equally adept at playing both as a centre back and a defensive midfielder. Comfortable in possession and tough in the tackle make him the ideal player to set up counter attacks.
His leadership qualities and talent on the ball have even led to some tipping him to be the future captain of Liverpool.
Ross Barkley
Another member of the triumphant U17 squad, shortly after making his debut for Everton back in 2011, Martin Keown predicted that Ross will be one of the best players we'll ever see in this country. The 19-year-old has already played 34 professional games so far and managed four goals in a loan spell last season at Sheffield United.
At 6'2 he is a physically imposing footballer, combine that with his impressive technique and surprising burst of pace and you've got a midfielder who could go all the way to the top. In fact it was reported back in 2011 when Andre Villas Boas was in charge of Chelsea, he sanctioned a £20 million pound bid for the Everton youngster.
What English youngsters often lack these days is composure on the ball, but Barkley possesses this in abundance and with his awareness on the football pitch he should feature much more prominently under Roberto Martinez next season.
James Ward-Prowse
Ward-Prowse is a highly rated young midfielder who has risen up through the now famed youth system at Southampton and played in the club's first game back in the Premier League against the then Champions Manchester City. That day, the youngster displayed incredible nerves and composure to compete against world stars like Yaya Toure and David Silva despite being just 17 at the time.
Ward-Prowse's stature is more that of a Spanish midfielder rather than that of your typical English midfielder, as he is only 5'8. However, what he lacks in height, he more than makes up for with his ability on the ball, with his passing and technique his best attributes. This season with the Saints he made 19 appearances in total and showed that he was more than capable of holding his own in the Premier League and he was a valued member of a Southampton team that liked to play attractive, passing football.

In my never ending search for a FOSS game engine that is usable for game modding with out having to reinvent the wheel (nor requiring to be a C++ code master) & having decent tools for content creation (because I am spoiled and think that is a minimum requirement for a game engine) I have become quite disillusioned lately. That is because *spoiler alert* sadly there is none so far... but a few are close luckily.
The usual contenders for 3D action games are your mixed assortment of idTech based engines, most notably ioQuake3. There are a few upcoming contenders like Unvanquished's Daemon engine (which is a mix of ET:Wolf, ioQuake3 and Xreal) and a yet to emerge idTech4 based champion (my uninformed guess is that it will be dhewm3). But all of them lack a decent game-play scripting function.
On the other side of the idTech spectrum, there is the idTech1 based granddaddy DarkPlaces, which while having advanced to an quite impressive feature set, suffers a quite a bit from its nut-bolted & mostly undocumented client side add-on on the already a bit arcane script language QuakeC.
Interestingly the idTech2 based engines get little attention though. I have highlighted a few nice game projects based in it in the past, but it is probably due to the fact that each project is hacking on their own engine fork, that none has gained prominence as a game engine on it's own. But feature wise the engines behind AlienArena, Overdose and Warsow are probably the most advanced.
The last one of these, has been probably the most overlooked, with the game itself not exactly open-source friendly and the engine being developed more or less behind closed doors. It seems however that this has changed now, although given recent project news it is unclear what made them change their approach. But an all new version of it is now on Github with the main developer mentioning a few really nice changes here. Let's hope it isn't just a "source-drop" of a dying project, as after digging into it a bit (the documentation is really fragmented and lacking) I have to say that it includes a few really awesome features not commonly seen in other FOSS engines:
Besides being really performant, it is fully scriptable and has some quite unique multiplayer features like awards, friendlists and persistent game statistics. It also seems to make good process in having easy to edit GLSL shaders, which I have realized is a much rarer feature than I originally thought. Last but not least it has a really modern looking and fully scriptable menu and HUD.
Ah and before I move on to non-idTech based engines I should mention Engoo for those looking for a modernized software rendering engine based on idTech1 (there was some controversy over it, so I am trying to show some support for its further development here).
Ok, that covered, what are some maybe under appreciated non-idTech 3D engines?
First of all I should probably mention the well known ones for the sake of completeness: Cube2, Ogre3D and the new big player Torque3D. All of which are IMHO still failing to provide a good platform for easy game creation (mainly due, following the same order: in-fexibility & lack of scripting; huge mess of independent parts & bad toolchain; lack of Linux port & buggy and overly complicated toolchain).
One of the shining but lesser known examples of trying to improve the status quo is the jMoneky3 engine. Even though it is still a bit bare-bone (e.g. lacking game frameworks) the nicely integrated SDK and the great new node based GLSL shader editor keeps on attracting my attention. Similary the BlenderGameEngine sure has a few great advantages due to its tight integration. Sadly it seems to be the unliked stepchild of the Blender3D project though, which some quite serious limitations and awesome additions like the candy branch never reaching the the main release.
Then there are the still very much alive big names of the past: Irrlicht and Crystal Space. I am not exactly sure why those never quite reached the required mass to become the engines of choice, but I guess the license mess around Irrklang (and other non free but more or less required addons) and the CS Yo Frankie disaster might have to do with it. But at least Crystal Space was accepted as a hosting organization for this year's GSoC again, so they must be doing something right.
Last but not least, I would like to give a mention to a relatively new contender: Octaforge, which has supplied a steady stream of updated betas lately. The interesting things about Octaforge is that it takes all the good things from Cube2 and combines it with a much updated renderer (Tesseract) and full lua script support. But sadly it isn't quite there yet, and the move to a scripting language required the removal of all the nice game-code that it inherited from Cube2.
As closing remarks I have to admit that this article was rather lopsided towards FPS game engines (and more general purpose ones). Of course there are many great other game engines in the FOSS sphere that focus on RTS or (MMO)RPG games etc. I do however feel that many of the grievances voiced here probably apply there too, but maybe it isn't quite as frustrating there as in the FPS genre.
But if you have some better insights into those type of engines feel free to comment below!
tl;dr: the author (as an old school modder) is frustrated that after all these years there still isn't an FOSS FPS engine that can be modded as comfortably as the Half-Life2 engine or UDK. Don't miss the new qfusion stuff though.

Sioux Falls Juveniles Don't Succeed in Starting Fire
Police say three juveniles from Sioux Falls were caught Tuesday afternoon trying to start a fire.
Information Officer Sam Clemens says the three were trying to set some paper on fire among some trees in the 1000 block of East 9th Street around 4:40pm.
Clemens says the young people, ages 11, 12 and 13, didn't succeed in starting the fire and nothing was damaged, but when they were found nearby they were found to be children in need of supervision, or CHINS, the police term.
He says no criminal charges were filed.

"Go onto Careerbuilder.com and type in 'electrical estimator' and see how many jobs pop up," says Steve Baim, head of Ranken Technical College's Electrical Systems Design Technology (ESDT) program in St. Louis. "Or type 'electrical designer.' You'll get a zillion." In fact, a nationwide search in the engineering and design categories on Careerbuilder.com for "electrical estimator" yielded 135 results, but even more startling were the 1,128 results for "electrical designer." From these searches, it's obvious that contracting and design firms are demanding mathematically minded men and women with the proper skill sets — familiarity with the Code, electrical and lighting design basics, project management — to provide estimating and design services.
No longer is drawing electrical layouts on blueprints the domain of the master electrician. Nor do firms want to rely solely on product salespeople for price quotes. The education preparing these workers for their new positions is more theoretical than an electrician's apprenticeship, yet it emphasizes more hands-on training than the typical engineering program. Increasingly, firms are looking for this new hybrid electrical worker, most commonly called a "technician," but sometimes referred to as a "designer," armed with both theoretical and practical knowledge, who can best be described as part electrician and part junior engineer.
Filling the void. It was by request of the St. Louis Electrical Board that Baim's two-year ESDT program came into being in 2001. "Firms came to the school and said 'We have this void,'" Baim says. "'Would you consider starting this type of program?'"
In 2003, there were seven students in the first graduating class. In 2004, Ranken graduated nine students from the ESDT program. Currently, there are 18 students earning associate of technology degrees in the full-time day program. That number is likely to expand with the addition of night-school classes next year.
The program provides instruction in basic electrical theory, design and construction of electrical distribution systems, CAD, commercial lighting design, and electrical estimating. Each theory class, such as solid-state electronics or power distribution, is taken with a hands-on lab in the same semester. After completing an electrical design and layout project, which includes a set of drawings, specs, and other project documents, graduates receive an associate of technology degree. There is also a professional internship component. "It's an excellent degree," Baim says. "It definitely fills the void between the engineer and the electrician."
The position also frees up the engineer to work on more complex problems, leaving the more of the busy work to the technicians. "Most companies don't want to invest in the engineer in terms of actually doing AutoCAD drawings and taking the information and putting it into a drawing for an electrician," Baim says.
However, it's not a case of competition with the engineers, or even the electricians. Most often, the technicians will design a system that will then have to be approved, or "blessed" as Baim puts it, by an engineer. The technician can also quote prices for project bids. In some cases, depending on the job situation, the technician may also do the electrical calculations and get materials together. Then the project can be turned over to the electrician for installation.
This air of cooperation also works at engineering and architectural firms where Ranken graduates have been hired as designers. "It's nice to have someone at a middle-slot level," Jim Heisserer, P.E., VP/director at St. Louis-based Ross & Baruzzini says. "We're always looking for engineers. But even more importantly now, we're looking for designers to fill what I call a mid-level position. It's a slot between the professional engineer and the draftsperson."
This position between draftsperson and engineer has many overlapping duties, so over time, some of the task assignations may change. According to Heisserer, drafting is something that may soon be strictly in the domain of the technician. "A trend in the industry is that there are becoming fewer and fewer draftspeople and more and more designers who can draft," he says. "It's getting more and more that it's the engineer and the designer. But that's not to say we still don't hire [drafters]. We have people here that strictly still do drafting. But there are other competitors where that's not the case."
The benefit to consulting firms in hiring designers with two-year degrees is the same as in other firms. Engineers are paid at a higher rate, so recruiting qualified professionals who can draft and design at a lower cost saves the firms money without shortchanging the client. "Advantages to a consulting firm like [Ross & Baruzzini] is that, quite honestly, engineers are at a higher pay level," Heisserer says. "[Hiring technicians] gives the design firm the opportunity to provide a good product to the client, but at a reasonable cost, as long as the technician, or designer, is being overviewed by a professional engineer (P.E.) to insure that the quality level is there. It's a good way to combine job-level skills and salary levels to provide a fair product to the client."
Heisserer was one of the members of the St. Louis Electrical Board who recommended the formation of the program. He and other board members suggested creating a two-year program that could teach students electrical design and to be versed in the NEC. "The thing with the four-year E.E. degree, or similar degree, is that often it's very theoretical, and a lot of times those programs really don't teach the kind of things that we need in the consulting field," Heisserer says.
A practical approach. Ranken's mission is to teach its students the information and skills they need to perform in the workplace, according to Baim. Classes are hands-on so that when students graduate, they can hit the ground running at their new jobs. "These students can flat do it when they get out of here," Baim says.
At Ross & Baruzzini, what they look for in a designer is someone who can produce construction documents used to bid on projects. That can include cost estimating, specification writing, understanding how electrical products are put together, and drafting.
What may be most important, however, is knowledge of the Code. "The one thing [Ranken's instructors] do that's very important in our business is they teach about the Code," Heisserer says. "There's not a lot of that in a four-year program in a college or university — a least when I went there wasn't. If you go to a trade school for contractors, you're going to know more about the NEC than an engineer will get out of a four-year college. Ideally, [you want to be] able to gather all that information, pull it out of your head, and stick it on paper so a contractor can bid it so it makes sense and can provide a good bid to the client. When we do that, we've done our job, or at least part of it."
Not that Heisserer is recommending forgoing a four-year college. But for those who, for reasons of time and money, can't attend such a program, he heartily recommends the two-year associate degree. "There's still a great place and opportunity for the designer level. It's a more practical-oriented program."
From electrician to designer to engineer. Matt Bergheger was working as an electrician when he decided to enroll in Ranken's ESDT program. He had field experience — but that wasn't necessary for admittance into the program. "You can just go in right out of high school," he says. To be exact, the minimum requirement for acceptance is a diploma or GED, SAT scores or the successful completion of a one-hour skills assessment test, or nine hours of transferable credit from another college.
Bergheger recently graduated from the program and is now employed as a designer at Ross & Baruzzini. He feels that the program gave him the hands-on experience he needed to perform his current job. "When they're talking about a motor controller or motor starter, I know what it is. Whereas in the four-year program, they don't teach you that kind of stuff."
Now Bergheger wants the chance to apply his experience and education to a four-year program. "I had time constraints that wouldn't allow me to get a four-year degree," he says. "This degree [associate of technology] got me into the field. Now, my company has tuition reimbursement so I can go on and get my four-year."
For Bergheger and other graduates of the two-year program, the associate of technology degree is a means to an end: a way to work in the business while attending a four-year program in the evenings. It's also a way to try out the position before committing to the time and a hefty tuition bill. "Even if you go get a four-year degree, you still start out as a designer," explains Bergheger. "So this was a stepping stone and a chance to get my feet wet to see if I actually like what I'm doing without paying the tuition of a four-year university." Fortunately, Bergheger enjoys his new job, so he plans on taking classes at night and on weekends to eventually get his four-year degree.
Of the graduates Bergheger knows who went into the consulting field, he estimates that 90% of them have gone on to a four-year program. Quite a few do, but some graduates are content as technicians or designers. One reason is that the job market is favorable for someone with the two-year degree. "We seem to find there's less and less [technicians or designers] as time goes on, and we don't know why," Heisserer says. "It seems like we can find the E.E.s, but we can't find that designer level. The need for them has always been there. It just seems like it's just getting harder to find that mid-slot level."
However, some associates of technology don't end up in the design field. "It's not strictly design," Heisserer says. "But a large part of the education is slanted more toward design." At Ross & Baruzzini, some graduates have gone into contracting, cost estimating, and project management. In some cases, according to Baim, they start or work for design/build firms. At other firms, they have been hired as junior electrical designers, electrical estimators, insurance inspectors, manufacturers' sales representatives, electrical maintenance technicians, and electrical engineering associates.
"We've had a lot of success stories," Baim says. "We're here because they hire our students. If they didn't hire the students, we wouldn't be here. We'd go away very quickly."
Sidebar: Two New Exams From the American Society of Professional Estimators Offer Certification
With the shift from master electricians providing estimates on blueprints to technicians providing estimates also comes a change in how estimates are calculated. According to Edward B. Walsh, executive director, American Society of Professional Estimators (ASPE), companies today are using estimating software packages to not only tell them costs and maintain a data source for future projects, but also as a tracking mechanism for how an estimator is performing on his or her job. "It's probably sped things up in the office," Walsh says.
To regulate the new estimating methods, the ASPE now offers two new estimating proficiency exams, developed by the ASPE certification board. The ASPE standards board oversees the program, and Certified Professional Estimators proctor the exams. Estimating Proficiency 1 (EP1) will test entry-level commercial and residential estimating professionals. Employers may ask for the test in order to confirm basic abilities in their junior estimators. Some universities and other estimating training facilities may use the exam as a benchmark for completion of their courses. Estimating Proficiency Two (EP2) is geared to estimators with a minimum of two years experience. Company owners may require estimating applicants to take the EP2, called the Construction Estimator Recognition exam, to verify abilities before offering employment. Those who pass the EP2 exam will receive a certificate of completion from the ASPE National offices. For more information on the exams, visit the ASPE Web site at www.aspenational.com/1EstimatingExams.html.
According to Walsh, the one frustration that veteran society members have expressed about the new breed of technician responsible for estimating is that they can't go about things the old-fashioned way. "God forbid you're in a situation where you don't have the software available and somebody would have trouble reading blueprints," he says.

Amidst all of the turmoil accompanying the City's long overdue closure of its Fresh Kills Landfill, one bit of good news has been overshadowed: in late 1999, the City's diversion rate of recyclables - the most commonly accepted measure of recycling success - surpassed 21% of the City's residential waste. In three boroughs, over 25% of all garbage is now being recycled.
Local Law 19, requiring mandatory recycling, has come a long way since its passage ten years ago. Still a 21% diversion rate is but prelude to two significant challenges still facing the City. First, we must boost diversion rates even higher, so that the existing infrastructure for collecting and processing recyclables is being fully utilized. Second, the City should take maximum advantage of the economic value of what is collected and marketed - by attracting and developing local businesses that create jobs and economic activity.
It's worth noting that the City is exporting not only enormous quantities of residential and commercial trash - more than six million tons each year - but an increasingly large amount of cash, to national waste management and transportation companies, as well as communities that host landfills. Similarly, the bulk of the city's recyclables are also exported - to factories and mills located elsewhere in North America and in the world. These materials then create products that the City's businesses and residents turn around, import and buy.
So what can be done to boost recycling? Several things. First, improve collection of currently targeted materials. Much like the Police Department used ComStat as a tool to identify and target pockets of crime, the Department of Sanitation (DOS) has the data, but not the commitment or resources, to target poor-performing community districts. Returning to weekly collection has helped - nine districts now divert over 30% of their waste. But four districts still languish at 10% or below.
Second, expand the materials targeted for recycling. Look around the country. Other cities are targeting additional "discards" for which economic markets exist, or are developing. From residences, those materials include textiles (used clothing) and electronics; Seattle just added additional plastic containers, such as butter tubs and yogurt cups. Notwithstanding the City's failure to enforce existing commercial recycling rules, used commercial carpeting is on the cusp of being economically viable as a recyclable and should be so designated.
Third, expand recycling collection to public spaces - the last frontier. Currently, New York City Transit flaunts state and local law by refusing to collect recyclables throughout the subway system, and recycling containers should be included in the City's much-delayed plans for new street furniture.
Fourth, although more of a waste prevention initiative, food waste can now easily be eliminated from the City's residential garbage - through an aggressive program to install food waste disposers, i.e., garbage grinders, in residences. Although legal for over two years, disposers have not yet caught on in New York - in part because new housing construction is at historic lows. Yet, food waste is approximately 15% of the city's collected garbage - twice the national average. Reducing food waste also makes sense because it is largely water-based and generates vermin, odor, and methane gas problems at every stop along the way.
As to the economic development potential of recyclables, the City does have one flagship project: the development of the Visy Paper corrugated cardboard mill on Staten Island, which now consumes a good portion of our wastepaper. Unfortunately, the Visy mill is the exception that proves the rule. While New York is the "Saudi Arabia" of recyclables, it has failed to be creative and aggressive in capturing their value.
In fact, New York's enormous volume of wastepaper could supply several more urban-sized mills (for which at least one project is on the drawing board). Other cities are spurring and supporting businesses based on the recycling of tires, computers, carpets, wood, and other materials. Why isn't New York?
The problem isn't lack of studies; previous Sanitation and economic development czars have researched and advocated seizing this opportunity. We also don't lack models for programs; dozens of state and city-supported models exist elsewhere. Perhaps it's a matter of scale: when compared to Wall Street and Silicon Alley, recycling-related opportunities seem small. But for the City's dwindling manufacturing sector, and its residents who rely on those job opportunities, creating recycling-related jobs makes enormous good sense. After all, the raw materials already are here, as are the markets for the new products they can make!
As the debate sharpens over the City's management of solid waste for the coming decades, the opportunities for expanding and benefiting from recycling deserve serious consideration. In the face of estimates of $300 million or more annually in increased waste handling costs once Fresh Kills is closed, it makes no sense to continue unnecessary exports of trash - and hard-earned cash - to economies outside of our border, when they could much more beneficially be recycled and reused here.
Steve Hammer is Co-Chairperson, Citywide Recycling Advisory Board

Volunteer Positive Reports From Field -- Chiang Mai, Thailand
Run for It!
By Todd Casey
February 9, 2012
OK, take a deep breath. It's around 6 in the morning and it's hot. It doesn't feel like wintertime, but there are constant reminders with all the Christmas decorations still dotting the landscape around Chiang Mai (It's waaaaay past New Years'). I run in the morning because it's cooler and I try to beat the morning commute. I also get a glimpse of the Buddhist monks collecting their alms early in the morning. It has a very grounding effect. If you will, let me take you on a quick trip through my experiences as a volunteer for Volunteer Positive in Thailand.
Fulfilling a Lifelong Dream, Part Three
By Bill Devereux
January 19, 2012
The NGO to which I have been assigned here in Chiang Mai is the Thai Network of People Living With HIV/AIDS (TNP+) which was officially established in 1997. This network has organized itself into seven regions representing all of Thailand. I am working with the Northern Region which represents the eight provinces of northern Thailand.
Fulfilling a Lifelong Dream, Part Two

January 16, 2012
Before my volunteer work began I have been blessed with a great gift here in Thailand that I'm sure could not have been as great had it been in the Peace Corps or in any other volunteer organization. That gift has been meeting, getting to know and quickly coming to Love and deeply respect Carlton and the other inaugural volunteers from Canada, the United States and Malaysia. I am honored to serve in their company!

Wait! I ask a friend as we make our way to the San Francisco airport. What's the word for "fish paste" in Thai? I had been trying to learn a few Thai phrases before I left, but with only three months notice, I didn't learn much Thai. Now I'm obsessed with fish paste because I'm vegetarian and I want to avoid it in my food. Clif Bars don't have fish paste, I tell myself, as I throw them in my backpack.
Why and How I Volunteer
By David H.
January 12, 2012
My story begins during the winter of 1993/94 when my partner of 10 years was hospitalized several times with pneumonia. When he was tested and found to be HIV positive, this led to my testing and diagnosis in May 1994. My partner's health deteriorated rapidly until his death in May 1995, whereas I have maintained excellent health to date without any opportunistic infections. Both he and I shared a passion for foreign travel and experiencing different cultures. Early on, I decided that HIV would not be something that would define me as an individual. I was determined to maintain a sense of humour and a positive outlook on life realizing the importance of love and living each day to the fullest without regrets.
Fulfilling a Lifelong Dream, Part One
By Bill Devereux
January 10, 2012
But first I focused on earning my Bachelor of Science degree from the University of New Mexico, then time in the Air National Guard, followed by earning my master's degree and teaching credentials from California State University, Los Angeles. I then enjoyed a very happy and fulfilling career as a special education teacher in California and also found my Soulmate and Life Partner. Through all these years I expected that someday I would be a Peace Corps volunteer.
Volunteer Positive's First Group of HIV-Positive Volunteers en Route to Thailand

Volunteer Positive Reports From Field -- Chiang Mai, Thailand
Volunteer Positive
A group of international volunteers made history in January 2012. They became the inaugural team of people living with HIV to serve openly as international volunteers in Chiang Mai, Thailand, as part of Volunteer Positive -- an international service agency created by and for people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS.
"The absence of visible HIV-positive people in the field of international service has been deeply troubling to me," writes Carlton Rounds, founder of Volunteer Positive. "The modern face of HIV is like mine: ready, willing and able to serve internationally with few accommodation needs. In fact, my unique situation, if leveraged correctly, could potentially make me more relevant as a volunteer working with others affected by HIV."
Some of the organization's volunteers chose to share stories of this unique experience right here in this blog.

This week's writer is Lawrence Miller, chief of Health Care Reform for Vermont.
As someone who for the past 25 years has owned, advised or worked closely with a Vermont business, I know firsthand how confusing our healthcare system is for employers. But here's the most confusing aspect of all: Over the past three years, hospital budget growth has been kept at 3 percent, the lowest rate in 40 years. However, many private insurance premiums have risen way beyond that rate over that same time period. How can that be? The answer is the cost shift.

What's the biggest state tax Vermonters already pay? It's not property, income or sales tax. It's a 15 percent health care tax that Vermont businesses and individuals are paying today. And many don't even know they are paying it.
This week's writer is Lawrence Miller, Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development secretary. Jim Merriam, director of Efficiency Vermont, contributed.
Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy. In Vermont, this holds especially true. Vermont has more than 75,000 small employers, comprising a staggering 96 percent of the companies in the state. With more than 157,000 workers, the small business sector accounts for nearly 60 percent of our state's total workforce.

Cardinals 5, Phillies 0: Carlos Beltran homered for the third straight game and Lance Lynn allowed one hit in seven innings to power visiting St. Louis.
Allen Craig had a two-run single while red-hot Yadier Molina had three hits, including a run-scoring single during the Cardinals' four-run third inning. Lynn (3-0), who recorded eight strikeouts, didn't allow a hit until John Mayberry Jr. led off the fifth inning with a double.
Cliff Lee (2-1) yielded five runs and seven hits in five innings while walking three - all in the third inning - for Philadelphia, which has lost five of its last six games. The Phillies finished with three hits.
After Lee alternated issuing walks and recording outs to start the third, Craig drove in Pete Kozma and Shane Robinson with a single to center. Molina, who is 12-for-27 in his last seven games, followed with a hit to right to plate Matt Holliday and David Freese's single to right brought Craig home to make it 4-0.
Beltran led off the fifth inning by crushing Lee's 1-0 fastball into the left field seats. It was his 338th career homer, tying him with the Yankees' Mark Teixeira for sixth all-time among switch hitters. Mickey Mantle leads with 536.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Phillies 1B Ryan Howard missed his second straight game because of tightness in his right groin. ... Lee, who entered the game with one walk in 23 2/3 innings this season, hadn't walked three batters in a game in his last 22 starts dating to June 24. ... Philadelphia 3B Michael Young went 1-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to 11 games.

Matt LeBlanc plays baseball (with a chimpanzee). A basketball player dresses in drag so he can play in the WNBA. The Bad News Bears take a trip to Japan. Maybe someday we'll be able to explain how these leaky sports movie concepts made it off the cursed page and onto the big screen.
Check out bleacher report's cinematic freak show "50 Worst Sports Movies of All Time," in which dogs play basketball, people box in kangaroo suits, and Rocky Balboa learns that the fifth time is not necessarily the charm. Also, some choice sucky trailers and clips after the jump. You're welcome!

Clarke eager to keep Odemwingie
West Brom head coach Steve Clarke wants striker Peter Odemwingie to stay, despite his Twitter outburst against the club.
Albion have rejected two offers from QPR for the Nigerian, the latest believed to £3million.
Odemwingie has handed in a transfer request and over the weekend hit out at the Baggies on Twitter, accusing them of "stealing" his loyalty and showing him a lack of respect.
Clarke made his intentions to keep hold of Odemwingie known at Tuesday's press conference, claiming he feels the player has been "really badly advised" by his representatives.
Clarke has cast doubts over whether Rangers will make an acceptable off before the transfer window closes on Thursday, but accepts Odemwingie will have to build bridges with fans, players and the club.
Odemwingie, who has made 13 Barclays Premier League starts this season, was due to meet with Albion officials to discuss his social networking remarks and he faces the possibility of a fine.
He has deleted some of his more inflammatory remarks from Twitter but it is understood the outbursts have not been looked on favourably by the midlands club.
Even QPR boss Harry Redknapp intimated that Odemwingie's rants were ill-advised and had not helped in terms of trying to push a potential deal through.

Albertine Lapensee
"Perfect ice is promised, and it is probable that the match will attract the largest crowd that has ever witnessed a girls' game in Ottawa," claimed the March 4, 1916 Ottawa Citizen. The reason? The woman called "the Miracle Maid," Albertine Lapensee.
The twenty-six year old Miss Lapensee played for her hometown Cornwall Victorias. Her hockey debut came in January 1916 against Ottawa and she scored five of the six goals in the Cornwall victory. Immediately after her debut game, Ottawa players complained that she was really a man. Suspicions and accusations dogged her the rest of her hockey career.
A week after her debut, Lapensee scored four goals in an 8-0 shutout against the Montreal Westerns. A crowd of about three thousand turned out to watch her play. Having been warned about the strength of Lapensee's shot, the Montreal goalie chose to wear a baseball catcher's mask to protect herself, which places her ten years ahead of Elizabeth Graham, who is usually credited with wearing the first goalie mask. The Montreal players also yanked off Lapensee's toque at one point in the game to see how long her hair was. She had braids that fell past her shoulders.
The continuous rumors about Lapensee caused the Cornwall Standard to vouch for her. Miss Lapensee, it seems, "played more with her brothers and other boys than with her girlfriends, and this accounts for the masculine style of play she has developed." Further more, "scores of people in East Cornwall have known her since her infancy."
Albertine played on, indifferent to the rumours, and the fans didn't seem to mind too much either, as a reported crowd of three thousand once came to watch her play. In one game she scored fifteen goals, and when the Victorias agreed to play against the Ottawa Alerts the Vics' manager had to guarantee Lapensee's appearance by contract. She even behaved like her male counterparts off the ice. She once refused to play until she had been paid, which nearly caused a riot. She also wasn't afraid to fight.
During one game against the Westerns, Lapensee was checked early and often by a Miss Deloro. After one particularly hard check, Lapensee took off her gloves and told her opponent to knock it off. Miss Deloro then challenged her by saying, "I'm not afraid of you, even if you are from Cornwall. I'll be glad to meet you after the game and we'll settle this the way men do." The promised fight didn't take place, as the victorious Cornwall team had to rush to catch their train.
Frustrated by their inability to stop her and in an effort to find an answer to the Miracle Maid, the Montreal Westerns found Ada Lalond. Thought to be a prodigy one day, the next day hope was shattered when it was revealed Lalond was actually a boy hoping to play against Lapensee.
Although scoring records for the time are incomplete, they indicate Albertine scored 80 percent of Cornwall's goals in the 1916-1917 season. The next season, Lapensee led her team to an undefeated season.
After two spectacular seasons, Albertine Lapensee vanished. There is no record of her playing hockey again, at least as Albertine Lapensee. Family legend says she went to New York in 1918 and had a sex change operation. She then married, and settled down to run a gas station near Cornwall, all under the name of Albert Smyth.
Truth or just legend? No one seems to know for certain, not even her family. All that's left is the faded memory of the Miracle Maid from Cornwall.

According to family folklore, Albertine Lapensée was born a hermaphrodite. She was raised as a female and then later became a man (don't know much about her life after she became a man, but could find out...).

She was my grandfather's first cousin. I have found her birth and baptismal registration which clearly states she was born a "girl".

Sex change in 1918 from female to male, somehow I don't think so??
- December 31, 2011 at 1:40 AM
- Robert L said...
The first ever attempted sex change came sometime around 1945. it was not successful. Albertine did not become Albert Smythe of Long Sault, Ontario, she married a man by the same name in New York City, hence the confusion. She later remarried and moved to Boston. There was never a shred of truth the rumours that she was or became a man. As for her proficiency at the game, it is best explained that few women played at the time, but with Albertine having played for years with her brothers out on Lennox St, she was well ahead of her competition.

I would tend to agree with Robert. A sex xhange operation in 1918 would seem to be streching things a bit. I'm doing a hockey display in our school Library and would like to put something up for Ms. Lapensee — and it would be nice to put an end to the sex change/Albert Smyth gas station story. Lynda Baril's excellent new book - Nos Glorieuses - concludes that Albertine's life after hockey is a mystery - but also includes the sex change piece that supposedly originated with a Montreal journalist. I guess there is a chance that she did have the operation much later in life.
It would be great if you could post more about this aspect of our hockey history.
