MGREIG needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 53 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
Create a slick logo for a young and innovative BEEF Cattle Stud. We are the "son" stud of another and are testing our wings in the stud industry. So far we have seen some great entires in this contest that have used bull graphics but I would like to see what people can do with other graphics. We have a lot of attitude as a business and even though we are small people in our industry can see we have a lot of potential and will be a force to be reckoned with in no time at all. We have some of the best genetics for Shorthron cattle and customer service is probably our biggest priority followed by breeding high quality cattle. The landscape our cattle are bred in is lush green hills but more often than not our cattle end up all over the Australian terrain.
TROJON Shorthorns
We want a logo that is easily recognisable or stands out from the crowd. You can see "the crowd" at http://www.shorthorn.com.au.
We are a fledgling stud but will soon be a force in the Shorthorn breeding field.
We would like the lastest style in graphic design that says "we are young and modern". If you are going to do a graphic of a bull, please consider that we have beef cattle that do not have horns. Having said that the "fighter bull" entries are very good.
We would like the combination of Silver Black and Red but are reasonably open to suggestions. Our cars are silver so it would be good to have something to suit.
The Shorthorn Colour is Royal Blue but red will match that so it's up to you to try some creative things out.
We definately don't want anything Orange.

Honoring Easy Goer
(CHICAGO, IL – June 16, 2010) If you've been keeping track of where Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta are headed, you'll note two upcoming races at Saratoga that have captured the imagination of horse racing fans who wish that the two superstars would meet.
One is the 1-1/8 mile Ruffian Handicap on August 1 that is named after the ill-fated filly that died in a match race at Belmont. The other is the 1-1/4 Personal Ensign Stakes on August 29 that is named after the undefeated winner of the Breeders' Cup Distaff.
NYRA has named many of its most important stakes races after historic horses. Among those of note are the Man O' War, Sword Dancer, Forego, Kelso and Cigar. This year, albeit just a $75,000 purse, the Curlin Stakes, named after a colt that raced five times and won only three times in the State, will be run for the first time.
Given these circumstances, why isn't there a graded stakes race named after Easy Goer? Woodbine waited decades before honoring Northern Dancer, Canada's greatest runner, with a race. Horse racing has never seen a horse as accomplished in competition at New York tracks as the son of Alydar. It's Easy Goer's turn now.
Easy Goer was defeated only once in 15 starts on Empire State soil. That loss came in the Metropolitan Handicap against the eventual Eclipse Award-winning Horse of Year Criminal Type and the crack sprinter Housebuster. He raced to nine Grade 1 victories at Aqueduct, Belmont and Saratoga and won the Whitney Handicap and Travers Stakes in back-to-back starts as a 3-year-old. That's enough to be remembered, wouldn't you imagine?

At least one California citrus grower is augmenting his arsenal of freeze prevention tools following January's severe freeze that battered the industry and caused an estimated $800 million in losses. If the freeze wasn't bad enough, limited propane supplies made matters worse — some propane-powered wind machines on farms went silent from the lack of fuel.
The scant propane supplies were held for public use such as hospitals and schools. Farmers were cut off, orchards grew colder, and fruit was damaged.
Booth Ranches LLC in Orange Cove, Calif., is determined to prevent another propane shortfall.
"We lost an orange ranch because we didn't have enough propane to cover the entire acreage," said Tom Valenzuela, Booth sales manager. "We had to choose which blocks to protect and which to disregard. Because of the propane shortage, we lost 320 acres of Navel and Valencia oranges."
He estimated the citrus loss on that acreage at several million dollars, or about 256,000 40-pound boxes of fruit.
The citrus ranch has two 30,000-gallon propane tanks, but two more are on order. The mega-tanks are an expensive but necessary tool to shield the citrus business from the impact of future freezes and potentially unavailable wintertime propane supplies.
Last winter, Booth Ranches ran its wind machines for 30 days straight, starting in December through the January freeze period. Irrigated water provided frost protection.
Booth Ranches is California's third largest independent grower/shipper. The ranch includes 8,000 acres, including about 5,000 acres of citrus in various stages of production. Olives are grown on 700 acres.
Founded in 1957 by Otis Booth, Booth Ranches is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The company grows citrus in Orange Cove, Ivanhoe, Porterville, and Maricopa, Calif.
More freeze protection
In addition to propane tanks, Booth is also installing more wind machines to protect acreage during future freezes. The machines sell for over $20,000.
More wells are also on the post-freeze purchase order. During the freeze, the ranch lacked sufficient water to rapidly saturate the soil. Well costs can range from $50,000 to $200,000, Valenzuela said. Current water sources on the ranch include well water, plus state and federal district water.
"We're in this thing for the long haul. We want to be a premium shipper of Navel and Valencia oranges for the next 25 years. We're investing this money to ensure that we're at the top of the heap with quality and moving forward."
Booth packout numbers
On the Navel side, Booth's post-freeze packout totaled about one million cartons, down from the typical 2.2 million cartons.
"We were able to pack fresh about 50 percent of the navels. In a normal year 85 percent is the packout. We packed fruit into the middle of April for the export market. Fruit quality was excellent with no signs of frost damage."
As the Valencia harvest continues, Booth expects a 200,000 packout with the balance sent to processors for juicing. By-products are handled through Ventura Coastal, Visalia, Calif., and Vita-Pakt, Covina, Calif. Booth's normal Valencia packout is about 700,000 cartons. The Valencia harvest should continue until early September.
Freeze summary
"We expected zero boxes of citrus after the January freeze," Valenzuela said. "After one freezing morning, everyone in the entire valley thought we wouldn't harvest a single orange."
Valenzuela believes three factors helped save citrus: the severe cold snap occurred a month later than the last freeze; the brix or sugar in the fruit was higher than normal; and earlier winter season cold snaps helped condition the trees to the cold.
"Every freeze event is different. As soon as you think you know something, Mother Nature will come back, grab you, and teach you that you don't know anything. There's no rhyme or reason — there were some blocks that were spared 10 trees in and beyond that they were frozen."
Valenzuela has 25 years experience in the citrus industry.
He said the traditional orange-growing areas — the foothills including Exeter, Lindsay, Ivanhoe, Woodlake, and Orange Cove — were relatively spared from the worst cold.
"The citrus pioneers who developed this area knew they had to be on warm ground."
Current, next year's crop
The 2007 Valencias are smaller this year, Valenzuela noted, due to the 2006 summer heat wave and the cold weather in 2007. "This combination gave us a mixed bag, but we're now seeing some fruit growth."
It's too early to determine how the freeze will impact next year's citrus crop. Navels and Valencias typically have a June drop cycle. Standing by a Navel tree, Valenzuela examined the fruit and said, "Looks like we'll have a good sized crop but not overproduction. It appears fruit size will be good, but we have a long way to go before harvest. We're off to a pretty good start."
Booth Ranches exports about 40 percent of its citrus crop to Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand.

26 July 2013, Geneva, Switzerland - Member states of the UN Economic and Social Council adopted today a resolution that recognises "the pursuit by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research of innovation in the field of training and capacity development, its continued effort to improve the high-quality and effectiveness of its output". The resolution, which comes as a positive reaction to the UNITAR report to ECOSOC on the recent successes of the Institute, calls also on the Secretary-General to inform member states about the consultations on "the proposed consolidation of some United Nations entities dedicated to research, training and knowledge services".
In introducing the Secretary-General report on UNITAR, Sally Fegan-Wyles, Assistant Secretary-General and UNITAR Acting Head and Executive Director, underlined that over the 2010 to 2011 biennium the Institute strengthened the capacity of more than 50,000 beneficiaries through targeted training and research in over 185 Member States, with 70 per cent in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Caribbean countries. Particular advancements were noted in the fields of E-Learning, the multiplier effects of training and knowledge-sharing seminars, and the geospatial analysis output of UNOSAT.
The report has been prepared in pursuance of Economic and Social and coincides with the conclusion of the UNITAR 2010-2012 strategic plan. One of the objectives of the Plan was to increase the outreach to beneficiaries. Today virtually the entire United Nations membership has benefited from UNITAR training and training-related services, while UN agencies and programmes and parts of the UN Secretariat continue to request and benefit from UNOSAT satellite technology services. The number of training and knowledge sharing events has also increased, with close to 400 events organized annually and increased e-learning opportunities. In addition UNITAR plays special attention to products designed to enhance the capabilities of learning centres in developing countries.
Never before in the Institute's 50-year history has programming been so diversified, with new courses and other training events relating to peace, security and diplomacy; the environment, human mobility, local development and public finance and trade, technology and geospatial analysis. In the reporting period, 95 per cent of respondents to post-training questionnaires have agreed or strongly agreeing that events were useful overall.

Brendan DeMelle | June 30, 2011

The Heartland Institute is convening a who's-who of the global warming denial machine in Washington, DC over the next two days for the sixth International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC6).
Seemingly content to let the world burn, the denizens of Denial-a-Palooza work year-round to sow doubt and confusion about climate change among the public - aided by Fox News and other friendly media outlets - so that no action is taken to limit heat-trapping gasses in the atmosphere. This event is attended by the best corporate front groups that polluter money can buy, and this year is no exception.
As in past years, the speakers and sponsors lists are dripping with oil money, and comprise nearly the full roster of groups who share a common interest - greenwashing dirty energy sources like oil and coal while simultaneously attacking the credibility of the world's top climate scientists. The presentations will misrepresent the state of climate science, while the real action will take place backstage, as these groups coordinate their ongoing efforts to smear the reputation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. (Note the intentional naming of this "ICCC" to sound like the IPCC.)
Let's take a look at the funding of the sponsors of ICCC6:
17 of the 43 sponsors of the Heartland Institute's Sixth International Conference on Climate Change, including the Heartland Institute itself, have collectively received over $46 million from either Scaife Foundations, Koch Foundations, or ExxonMobil and its foundation.
Most of these organizations, including many that choose not to disclose their funding sources, comprise the core of the industry attack on global warming science. See below for a complete breakdown of funding details:
|Scaife Foundations (1998-2010):
|($12,205,000 more than 2010*)
|Koch Foundations (1998-2009):
|($6,241,230 less than 2010)
|ExxonMobil (1998-2010):
|($311,350 less than 2010)
|Total Funding (1998-2010):
*The Heritage Foundation, notably absent from the 2010 ICCC, is a sponsor again for the 2011 ICCC. Heritage has received $14,873,571 from industry sources.

Really? The Heartland
Really? The Heartland conference is the ONLY org that receives Big Oil funding?
Lets see who else Big Oil is sponsoring shall we?
Who is getting all the Big oil money?
Funny, Greenpeace doesn't talk about that. Nor does it mention:
* that BP is funding research into "ways of tackling the world's climate problem" at Princeton University to the tune of $2 million per year for 15 years
* that BP is funding an energy research institute involving two other US universities to the tune of $500 million – the aim of which is "to develop new sources of energy and reduce the impact of energy consumption on the environment"
* that ExxonMobil itself has donated $100 million to Stanford university so that researchers there can find "ways to meet growing energy needs without worsening global warming"
Hmmm, thats $602 million. How does that compare to the above info. A rough estimate of the above numbers equals $47 million.
I wonder which one is greater? $602 million or $47 million?
If you include the millions that the govt has wasted on studing this hypothesis then the total can easily reach $1 Billion.
But you keep telling yourself that Big Oil is the enemy when in fact most Big Oil companies SUPPORT cap and trade as a means to keep their smaller competitors out of the market.
Meanwhile a self-funded scientist is busily getting ready to offer his technology to the market that he delevoped with his OWN money and produces more energy than solar, wind, or Big Oil. Perhaps you have heard of him.

Another source of the Big
Another source of the Big Salaries that the Big Green industry gets.
A report in the Washington Examiner, entitled "Working for Big Green can be a very enriching experience" by Mark Tapscott, showed that the leaders of 15 top Big Green environmental groups are paid more than $300,000 in annual compensation, with a half million dollar plus figure for the top "earner".
He mentions that Environmental Defense Fund President Frederic Krupp, receives total compensation of $496,174, including $446,072 in salary and $50,102 in other compensation.
Close behind Krupp among Big Green environmental movement executives is World Wildlife Fund- US President Carter Roberts, who was paid $486,394, including a salary of $439,327 and other compensation of $47,067.
Krupp and Roberts are particularly interesting because EDF and WWF-US both receive funding from the Grantham Foundation and both are on the joint management board of Jeremy Grantham's climate institutes at the London School of Economics, (LSE), and Imperial College, London.
Jeremy Grantham is the chairman and co-founder of GMO, a $140 billion global investment management company based in Boston with offices in London, San Francisco, Singapore, Sydney and Zurich.
His first excursion into climate funding in the UK was "The Grantham Institute for Climate Change" set up with £12 million, (~$19million) at Imperial College, London in 2007. The chairman of the LSE Grantham Institute, Lord Stern of the infamous Stern Review, is heavily involved in carbon trading via carbon ratings agency, Idea Carbon. He joined IdeaGlobal, the parent company in 2007, as Vice Chairman. He also advises HSBC on carbon trading.
Environmental Defense boast on their website of their influence on policy in Washington and how they get around the law on lobbying caps: http://www.edf.org/article.cfm?contentID=8943
"EDF has long been a powerful voice in Washington, and when the need began to exceed the $1 million annual cap on our lobbying established by tax law, we created a sister group, the Environmental Defense Action Fund, which is free of spending limits. This has enabled us to ratchet up our legislative efforts, particularly on climate, and to advocate strong environmental laws even as the stakes increase."
Of course the above figures do not include the compensation that this PR firm receives from the Big Green industry of smear and innuendo.

When it comes to following the money the last place you should start is anything at The Washington Examiner.
Now here is a snippet from the replies at another blog and from somebody who knows the turf:
'Richard Brenne · Top Commenter · UCLA
Thanks Jonathan and Bill, great comments. Yeah when Hurricane Forecaster (a profession Kerry Emanuel described to me as a "Dark Art") William Gray said that climate scientists only issue doomsday scenarios to get all that grant money, CU Atmospheric Science Department Chair Brian Toon responded that at universities or institutions like NASA, NOAA or NCAR you have strict institutional salary guidelines that cannot be waived, and all an additional grant gets the PI scientist is some more computers and graduate students and post-docs to manage, as Jonathan says cutting into their own research time.
I've also responded to Gray that NCAR's annual operating budget has been stuck in the $135 million range for years, while in 2005 the Exxon-Mobile CEO made $400 million in that year by himself. So Gray and anyone so inclined is right to follow the money, but since 80 per cent of the global and U.S. economy runs on fossil fuels, if you do some real math the trail leads directly to those who profit most from fossil fuels, not those worth one-ten thousandth or less who study their effects.'
That above from:
where Hansen is quoted:
'BTW, do you really believe that scientists make up or exaggerate global warming to get research funds? Our salaries do not depend on how much research the government funds. Government scientists get paid for working 40 hours a week, regardless of how long they work. My wife claims it is about 90 hours a week, but I say about 80. If you succeed in getting the government to cut back on science, because you don't like the results, the main effect will be erosion of our competiveness relative to other nations. Your hounding of scientists does not bother me, but it may discourage young people from entering the profession, contributing to a national spiral into second or third rate technical and economic status. Perhaps, instead of questioning the motives of scientists, you should turn around and check the interests (motives) of the people who have pushed you to become so agitated.'
You guys wouldn't know the truth if it sat on your face.

'Currently were are on the highest emission path while temps continue to go down which makes Hansen WRONG, WRONG, and WRONG.'
Your like the kid in the playground with his hands over his ears, stamping his foot while shouting abuse.
What sources lead you to believe that temperatures, as an average global anomaly, are going down?
More coal use will mean that we overshoot even that maximum emissions path as indicated in the last conservative IPCC report. The real truth was too painful for the fossilised brains of fossil fuel industry and thus the full message from the science was watered down - that was the source of dissent amongst scientists of ability and honesty i.e. that the IPCC FAR in its final version understated the probable outcomes.

The bottom line is that the climate models upon which the AGW theory are based all predicted rising temperatures in the past decade. The models stand or fall based on their ability to predict. They did not predict. Excuses abound and the models may be revised. But they failed and thus their predictions for 100 years from now are worthless.

Come off it Rick. You say it like the fossil fuel companies have no say in the matter.

Soooo, they oppose it because it's fun to oppose new legislation? They, fund dozens of front groups who in turn organize fund raisers, denier events, astroturf events & directly lobby politicians to defeat this legislation & water down the powers of the EPA because they want it? Maybe in denier bubble world you believe that, but elsewhere in reality, the evidence shows otherwise.
"The little people who will simply have to pay more to normal every day activities."
For a short while yes. Possibly as much as $10 extra a week. You can spin that anyway you want. Nearly $500 per person extra a year or nearly $1.50 extra per day. Obviously no one will be given an annual bill to pay, so it's closer to the $1.50 per day figure. This enables us to transition to less fossil fuels & encourage green technology. Technology that is really only in it's infancy & has the potential to provide almost free energy given the chance. The fossil fuel industry will NEVER have a time where you will be getting our power largely for free. You will pay forever & not only that, but you will pay increasingly more for it as it becomes more & more scarce. Given the chance greentech will employ far more people than the fossil fuel industry ever could. The fossil fuel companies are never on their own going to resolve employment bottlenecks. Eventually our power will cost less than it does now under fossil fuels, therefore we will pay less overall.
If you allow fossil fuel use to continue the way it is, we will pay more directly & even more indirectly through government expenditure on disaster clean ups, plus rebates & subsidies for those affected by disaster. On top of that, you will end up with even bigger government because private sector cannot authorise the relocation of populations, build levies or mobilize military. By not doing anything, conservatives will get exactly what they don't want….big government.
"That would not be a problem either if there was actually some justification for it..
But there is none of course. Just some mythology about harmless plant food."
The rest of the world shouldn't be made to pay for your lack of understanding that burning something that took millions of years to create ( fossil fuels) & releasing it back into the atmosphere in the space of a few decades has massive implications. Yes, it might be beneficial for plants…..but we are not plants are we?

I just watched Tim Ball's talk streaming on the internet – was interested because I met him years ago. I thought my head would explode with todays talk. Apart from the factual errors, clear misleading, and (deliberate?) misunderstanding of basic science, the talk came across as a classic conspiracy theorist that there's this group engaged in pre-meditated fraud against the world! Do they *really* believe what they're saying. They can't be that dumb. The only other plausible explanation is "follow the money".

This may well all be true, but in the end the question of funding boils down to an ad hominem argument. The fuel industry will fund whoever they think will help them make more money in the future, regardless of what they say.
What is important is that the people who will be at the conference have a long history of avoiding any real arguments against climate science - because they don't have any.
They are trying to create their own reality and get other people to believe in it.

Funding is irrelevant
You cite funding for The Heartland Institute in years before the organization ever hosted one of its six climate conferences. You can't say Heartland received a dime from "big oil" or any of your other demonized industries for these conferences.
And why, exactly, is the funding of cosponsors relevant? As the program for the conference notes, cosponsors weren't asked to pay for the privilege.
You're grabbing at straws here, apparently unable to refute the science and so preferring to repeat tired, inaccurate attacks that are irrelevant to anyone but yourself.

Ahem.... "Greenpeace receives
"Greenpeace receives its funding from individual supporters and foundations.[3][4] Greenpeace screens all major donations in order to ensure it does not receive unwanted donations.[97] The organization does not accept money from governments, intergovernmental organizations, political parties or corporations in order to avoid their influence.[3][4][97] Donations from foundations which are funded by political parties or receive most of their funding from governments or intergovernmental organizations are rejected. Foundation donations are also rejected if the foundations attach unreasonable conditions, restrictions or constraints on Greenpeace activities or if the donation would compromise the independence and aims of Greenpeace.[97] Since in the mid-1990s the number of supporters started to decrease, Greenpeace pioneered the use of face-to-face fundraising where fundraisers actively seek new supporters at public places, subscribing them for a monthly direct debit donation.[98][99] In 2008, most of the €202.5 million received by the organization was donated by about 2.6 million regular supporters, mainly from Europe.[5]
In September 2003, the Public Interest Watch (PIW) complained to the Internal Revenue Service, claiming that Greenpeace USA tax returns were inaccurate and in violation of the law.[100] PIW charged that Greenpeace was using non-profit donations for advocacy instead of charity and educational purposes. PIW asked the IRS to investigate the complaint. Greenpeace rejected the accusations and challenged PIW to disclose its funders, a request rejected by then-Executive Director of PIW, Mike Hardiman, because PIW does not have 501c3 tax exempt status like Greenpeace does in the U.S.[101] The IRS conducted an extensive review and concluded in December 2005 that Greenpeace USA continued to qualify for its tax-exempt status. In March 2006 The Wall Street Journal reported that PIW had been funded by ExxonMobil prior to PIW's request to investigate Greenpeace."
"Q2. Where does Greenpeace get its funding from and what is your current financial status?
To maintain absolute independence Greenpeace does not accept money from companies, governments or political parties. We're serious about this and, as far as possible, screen donations and return them when they're drawn on a corporate account. All of the funding for our work comes from individual donations and some private foundations." http://www.greenpeace.org/eastasia/members-area/faq/about-donations

Latest Step in Governor's Ongoing Efforts to Make DMV More Convenient.
Rhode Island motorists now have a quick and more convenient way to renew their driver's licenses. Governor Lincoln D. Chafee today announced that online driver's license renewals are now available on the Rhode Island Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) website at www.dmv.ri.gov.
"The DMV continues to make important strides to improve customer service," said Governor Chafee. "Eligible Rhode Islanders may now avoid a trip to the DMV by renewing their driver's license online – eliminating the need to stand in line and further reducing wait times for other motor vehicle transactions."
To use the online renewal service, customers must have a valid Rhode Island operator license eligible for renewal up to 45 days before its expiration date and no more than 180 days past due. A credit card and billing address are needed to complete the transaction. Users will pay an enhanced access fee of $2.00 for the convenience of renewing online.
The welcome page describes the eligibility criteria and DMV will confirm user license number, name, date of birth and zip code. From this information, DMV will check for any issue that will prevent customers from renewing online such as problems with their social security number, license suspensions or tax blocks. Users will attest to having met the requirements of an eye exam and having motor vehicle insurance as required by state law. Users will also be asked if they want to register to vote or become an organ donor.
Upon completion of the online application, users will be able to print a receipt or have it emailed to them. New licenses will be sent to the mailing address on file within 28 business days. Completion of the renewal well in advance of the expiration date is highly recommended.
Due to federal regulations, Commercial Driver Licenses (CDL) cannot be renewed online and must be renewed in person at the Cranston DMV. For more information, please visit www.dmv.ri.gov.

Police on Long Island are looking for the man who stole a donation jar full of cash for a 12-year-old disabled girl Saturday.
The suspect is seen on surveillance footage leaning on the counter at the Wyandanch Beer Company in Wyandanch before stealing the jar, which contained between $30 and $40.
The donations were supposed to go to a 12-year-old girl named Belkis, who lives in the Dominican Republic. The grandfather of the owners of Wynandach Beer Company befriended the girl and for the last year, the beverage company has collected and sent money to the girl's mother to pay for the medicine, food and other necessities.
While the thief apparently thought no one saw him taking the charity jar, he was standing directly in front of a screen displaying the surveillance cameras that captured the theft. He's seen talking with a man at an adjacent counter before turning away and leaning back onto the counter again.
Then, he is seen reaching behind and grabbing the jar before stuffing it underneath his sweatshirt.
The store manager, who didn't want to be named while the thief was still at large, said "it was so sneaky. He wasn't even looking at it. That's why people weren't expecting it."
"Why would you do something like that?" he said. "I'm sure the girl needs the money more than you do."
The theft outraged store customers like Earl Daniels, who said "somebody like that needs to be locked up. They don't deserve nothing good to happen to them for that."
The beverage company owners say that despite what happened, they will put out another jar, with surveillance cameras again watching it very closely.
If you know anything about the theft, contact Suffolk County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS. Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

...He thought he saw the Great Dance. It seemed to be woven out of the intertwining undulation of many cords or bands of light, leaping over and under one another and mutually embraced in arabesques and flower-like subtleties. Each figure as he looked at it became the master-figure or focus of the whole spectacle, by means of which his eye disentangled all else and brought it into unity--only to be itself entangled when he looked to what he had taken for mere marginal decorations and found that there also the same hegemony was claimed, and the claim made good, yet the former pattern thereby disposed but finding in its new subordination a significance greater than that which it had abdicated....wherever the ribbons or serpents of light intersected minute corpuscles of momentary brightness: and he knew somehow that these particles were the secular generalities of which history tells--people, institutions, climates of opinion, civilizations, arts, sciences and the like--ephemeral coruscations that piped their short song and vanished. The ribbons or cords themselves, in which millions of corpuscles lived and died, were the things of some different kind. At first he could not say what. But he knew in the end that most of them were individual entities.If so, the time in which the Great Dance proceeds is very unlike time as we know it. Some of the thinner more delicate cords were the beings that we call short lived: flowers and insects, a fruit or a storm of rain, and once (he thought) a wave of the sea. Others were such things we think lasting: crystals, rivers, mountains, or even stars.Far above these in girth and luminosity and flashing with colours form beyond our spectrum were the lines of personal beings, yet as different from one another in splendour as all of them from the previous class. But not all the cords were individuals: some of them were universal truths or universal qualities. It did not surprise him then to find that these and the persons were both cords and both stood together as against the mere atoms of generality which lived and died in the clashing of their streams...The whole figure of thier enamored and inter–inanimate circling was suddenly revealed as the mere superficies of a far vaster pattern in four dimensions, and that figure as the boundary of yet others in other worlds: till suddenly as the movement grew yet swifter, the interweaving yet more ecstatic, the relevance of all to all yet more intense, as dimension was added to dimension and that part of him which could reason and remember was dropped further and further behind that part of him which saw, even then, at the very zenith of complexity, complexity was eaten up and faded, as a thin white cloud fades into the hard blue burning of sky, and all simplicity beyond all comprehension, ancient and young as spring, illimitable, pellucid, drew him with cords of infinite desire into it's own stillness.He went up into such a quietness, a privacy, and a freshness that at the very moment when he stood farthest from our ordinary mode of being he had the sense of striping off encumbrances and awaking from a trance, and coming to himself.
the great dance.

Longreads: Geography of Poverty, Reporting Poverty, Chinese City Limiting Cars, a FarmVille for Africa
Find a good longread on development? Tweet it to @worldbank with the hashtag #longreads.
The Economist's much tweeted-about "Geography of Poverty" highlights a "poverty paradox" – that more of the world's extremely poor people now live in middle-income countries rather than in the poorest ones. The finding comes from a new paper by Andy Sumner of the Institute of Development Studies. But the situation could change by 2025 if the number of poor people grows in fragile states, say Homi Kharas of the Brookings Institution and Andrew Rogerson of the Overseas Development Institute in the Economist. Veteran journalist Katherine Boo, author of a new book on life in a Mumbai slum, discusses the challenge of portraying poor people as individuals in the media, in an interview with Guernica in "Reporting Poverty." Big Chinese cities are starting to adopt measures with the potential to ease pollution and "improve the long-term quality of Chinese growth," according to a story in the New York Times. "A Chinese City Moves to Limit New Cars" describes, among other things, restrictions in Guangzhou expected to cut the number of cars on city streets in half. And finally, imagine vicariously smashing mosquitoes, riding a motorbike through the streets of Lagos, or remembering life in a rural village. The BBC writes about a Nigerian video game-maker who believes Africans and non-Africans alike may want to tap into the African experience through games.

Generally, more. Still playing with that, but most 3.125G SERDES's let you
program it, some on a per-channel basis. Our plug-in boards know what slot
they are in and who they are talking to, so we may put in hook for software
to set pre-emphasis based upon positions of the ends of the links (the
control traces are there, anyway!). Obviously, the more pre-emphasis you put
in the higher the EMI and crosstalk.

that, you get very even characteristics. Yes, there is a short capacitance
dip in a TDR, but it is so short as to correspond to a very high frequency
or shorter rise time-- higher than we would be interested in.We got the
pitch on counter boring from the back and also on using blind vias from some
PCB vendors. We decided to try it without, since the papers I have seen on
these topics seem to deal with miniscule effects unless you are up in the
10GHz zone, which we were not. I would not argue with anyone who said they
wanted to do these things.Since this thread started, I have had the
opportunity to look closely at the board and plug in test boards both with
an HP 8753 VNA and a TEK CSA8000 scope with TDR plug in. Yes, you can see
the bobbles in the VNA sweep caused by the pin vias. You can also see the
small (<10%) impedance discontinuities at the connectors. The impedance
effects caused by routing through the HS-3 pin fields in the AMP-recommended
manner were miniscule (<0.5%), which I was very happy with.Furthermore, we
have used some SERDES eval boards to actually send 3.125 GHz 8B/10B PRBS
(random data) signals through the backplane. All is well. Good eye opening
(pre-emphasis required!) on 20-24" paths through 2 connectors. Very little
added jitter, relative to the SERDES outputs, which are in turn comparable
to the oscillator jitter. Plenty good for our purposes.Larry Miller

After reading all of the replies to the 2.5GHz questiion, I can see the need
for using stripline to keep phaseshift constant on long runs. In trying to
make the stubs a part of the transmission line, wouldn't it be advisable to
utilise most of the via as part of the line by using the stripline located
the opposite side of a card from the IC?
Consider the 8 layer stackup shown here for clarification.
------- Sig and IC layer
------------- Plane
------- Sig
------------- Plane
------------- Plane
------- Sig 2.5 GHz stripline
------------- Plane
------ Sig
The stub resulting from the the unused portion of the via is reduced in
length. The trick would be to make the vias look like the transmission line
Another thought--It seems like an imbedded microstrip line would possess
almost the same qualities of a stripline in terms of dielectric affecting
phaseshift. Can a card be made so that the vias would go only from the IC
layer to an imbedded microstrip layer directly below? This would get rid of
any stubs. What do you think?

HootSuite Chrome Extension Makes Social Monitoring Effortless
A new Google Chrome extension is helping HootSuite Pro and Enterprise users who are part of HootSuite Teams expand their organization's social monitoring capabilities.
The extension, dubbed HootSuite Assignments, is beneficial for social media managers because it can help them respond to customer inquiries or take advantage of marketing opportunities in real-time. This is because posts from Facebook and Twitter can quickly be assigned to the most appropriate team member in sales, customer support, public relations or marketing, so that suitable responses are published promptly.
Once the Assignment extension is downloaded, HootSuite Team members have access to an "Assign To" button, which is located directly below each status update on Facebook and Twitter's websites. From there, users can choose the team or team member that they want to assign the post to, as well as have the option to include a custom message to guide the assigned team member's next action. After the post has been assigned, the assignee receives an email notification to view that post within an in-browser popup menu. Moreover, social managers have the ability to monitor the progress on tasks that have been assigned as well as tasks that have been completed.
"Social media gives businesses the remarkable ability to listen to what the public and their clients are saying about their brand or their product, and then respond in real-time. So effective, enterprise companies are now constantly monitoring and engaging with their audiences on social media networks, using tools like ours," said Ryan Holmes, CEO of HootSuite. "But we also realize that not all of them are using the HootSuite dashboard all the time. Some are doing this right from Facebook.com or Twitter.com. In our business we have to be flexible and adapt quickly to what people need now for a better and smoother social media experience."

The mathematical study of the dynamics of the Einstein equations forms a central part of both partial differential equations and geometry, and is intimately related to our current physical understanding of gravitational collapse. The celebrated singularity theorems of Penrose, proven in the 1960s, showed that geodesic incompleteness is inevitable provided that initial data contain what is known as a closed trapped surface. Trapped surfaces are also related to the presence of black holes. A breakthrough into the understanding of trapped surface formation has recently been achieved by Christodoulou in his 600 page monograph: "The formation of black holes in General Relativity", Publications of the EMS, January 2009, where it is shown that trapped surfaces form in evolution for the Einstein vacuum equations from completely dispersed initial confgurations, a phenomenon caused purely by the focussing of gravitational waves. The proof brings together ideas from geometric analysis and non-linear hyperbolic equations and at the same time introduces new techniques adapted to large data problems. The methods will undoubtedly have many future applications in both general relativity and other equations of mathematical physics. Inparticular, the work provides the first global "large data" result in general relativity (without symmetry assumptions) and opens the possibility for many new developments on dynamical problems relating to black holes.

So, no idea why font so big. Will keep short. Does the dnr stock these lakes again in fall or are we just cleaning up the ones stocked in spring?
Rob, When it comes to the trout thing im lost. They decent to eat?
Trout are fun to catch, but They are not my favorite eating fish.
Whitetail, trout are excellent table fare. If you get some go to YouTube and search for clips on how to clean trout. It is simple and does not make much mess. Make sure to leave the skin on, when cooked correctly it becomes a tasty treat. Text me and I will send you a link for a wonderful recipe. To those eating it, it will seem Gourmet, but is actually very simple. I'll pm you my cell. I would not fillet trout but rather eat them whole like you would catfish. I know you can fillet cats, and I do sometimes, but imo trout are best when left whole.
They restock the ponds before each season. Most trout die out in S. IL over the summer. I believe they cant take water temp above 70-75F due too low of dissolved oxygen.
Have bow will travel

RIPTON — Gov. James Douglas and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials are confident that widespread flood damage caused by the Aug. 6 rainstorms will qualify for a major infusion of federal aid.
Douglas and FEMA Regional Administrator Art Cleaves came to that conclusion on Thursday while surveying some of the infrastructure in several Addison County towns, including roads and bridges, that had been devastated by floodwaters.
As the Addison Independent went to press, officials were still tallying up damage in the hard-hit communities of East Middlebury, Ripton, Hancock, Goshen, Granville, Salisbury, Leicester, Bridport and Forest Dale. Authorities said they expected the damage to easily eclipse the $1 million needed to trigger a federal emergency declaration from the White House, thereby paving the way for up to 75 percent reimbursement for flood-related repairs.
"We've been to Ripton, East Middlebury and Salisbury and the damage is quite extensive," Douglas said during an interview Thursday afternoon at Middlebury State Airport, where he quickly boarded one in a convoy of four Vermont Army National Guard helicopters that flew over the destruction.
"I think this is the most significant (natural disaster) in my tenure," he added.
Road crews have been working overtime to restore access to roads and bridges heavily damaged when the Middlebury River and a collection of other brooks and streams jumped their banks, sending water cascading across already-saturated ground.
Workers on Thursday had restored emergency access to Route 125 between East Middlebury and Hancock, though it may be many more days before regular, two-way traffic resumes on the busy road.

Editor's note: The 60th edition of the Addison County Fair and Field Days last week offered, as ever, a smorgasbord of sights, sounds, smells and sensations. With so many events, demonstrations, fried treats and heated competitions to take in, we picked just a few favorites for our readers to savor. Here's a sampling of what we saw.
The ribbon above April's stall proudly declares this four-month-old Jersey calf a "novice champion." She and her handler, Ethan Sausville, 8, of Addison, snagged top honors at the Thursday morning 4-H competition in handling and showmanship. But for the youngest of the Weybridge Willing Workers (WWW), the real marvels in the 4-H Dairy Barn are not the ribbons, but the cows themselves.
Sausville, Matthew Ouellette and Addy Parsons of Weybridge, all 8, crowd around a few of the calves the club is showing this year at the fair. Two little Jerseys, April and Lila, are munching away happily on their grain, perfectly content to let their handlers stroke their backs and necks.
The calves seem pretty happy to be shown, the kids explained — though "sometimes April gets spooked," Sausville says. She straightens up once her show halter is on, Parsons chimes in.
It's not easy, they explain — though the calves are sweet-tempered, they can be stubborn.
"You've got to really work with them," Sausville says.
And occasionally, accidents can happen.
"Last year, when I was a PeeWee, I got kicked in the stomach by a really big cow," Ouellette confides, not without a note of pride. The children confer on the size of the "really big cow" before ultimately deciding she was somewhere along the lines of Cinnamon's height, gesturing to a massive Jersey lolling in the sawdust a few stalls down from the calves.

Recent controversy over whether a new gas station should replace the existing one ended when the developer withdrew his third attempt for a concept plan.
Many residents fully supported demolition of the old deteriorating gas station and construction of a new building around the corner in the existing vacant field. The project would expand the business to house one and possibly two other drive-through eateries. This would put a new face on a main corner in the village.
The concerned citizen group asked whether the new project,Quicklees, should be the new face of Bloomfield. The group felt that fast-food franchises did not fit their image of the community. They wanted only �good development,� such as a pre-World War II-style structure without food franchises.
The Village of Bloomfield is an eclectic mix of historic and modern homes with a modest downtown business district. It does seem a shame that since Quicklees is not to be the new face of Bloomfield, the old face will be just that � the old deteriorating building on an unsafe corner that exists today.

One of the things I most love about the design of the late nineteenth century is its unpredictability. Across all of the decorative arts there was a strong emphasis on novelty, and a succession of new technologies made it easier than ever to execute these strange and untested ideas. (You can see this in the terra cotta work of architect Louis Sullivan, or the elaborate inlays of furniture designer Gustav Herter.) The period was a riot of ornament, and to be sure, much of the work was awful: most of what we remember today is hopelessly cliché, or cloyingly overwrought. But then there are moments like these.
Above is a piece of nineteenth century engraving, which looks as if it might have been the product of a CalArts group project by Wim Crouwel and Louise Fili. (The rest of my fantasy league is no less oddball; images after the jump evoke Jonathan Barnbrook vs. John Downer, and Max Kisman vs. Marian Bantjes.) These excerpts come from an incredible collection of American sheet music from the period 1850-1920, currently being exhibited online by Duke University. The documents from the 1870s are my favorites, many of which are from the hand of an engraver named Reed (note his signature hiding in the fourth image below.) His stylistic pairings are among the more remarkable — above, the constructed sans serif and swelled rules are unexpected bedfellows. But some of my favorite moments are those in which unrelated visual agendas collide in the letterforms themselves. Is there anything more fabulous than the monoline blackletter of "Mazurka Elegante" below, or the squared-off shapes of the final line, "Tiny Birdlings of the Air?" Will you check out that lowercase g? —JH

Mexico City's Metrobus system perfect for cash-strapped cities
A prestigious award has been conferred on Mexico City's Metrobus new public transport system for its significant contribution to improving both air quality and generally making life easier for hard-pressed citizens. Bus journey times have been halved and carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions have been reduced by 80,000 tons a year.
The 2009 Roy Family Award for Environmental Partnership by The John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University was bestowed on the city's Metrobus System. The award recognises outstanding projects from the public-private sectors which display new and creative approaches to improving both the environment and the quality of life.
Harvard considered Metrobus to represent one of the highest levels of environmental leadership and set an outstanding example to public, private and non-governmental organisations all over the world. Mayor Marcello Ebrard said the award was a "great encouragement" which fully endorsed the enormous transport project. More

Mega Millions Jackpot Grows To Near Record
There was no winner in Friday night's Mega Millions drawing which sends the jackpot amount to near record levels.
The numbers drawn Friday night are: 19,24,26,27,70 and the Mega Ball is 12. The Megaplier is 2.
There were 9 tickets sold across the country matching five numbers but not the Mega Ball; one of those tickets was sold in New Jersey for the second drawing in a row. The other tickets were sold in Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Michigan and New York.
Tuesday's drawing will have an annuity value of $550 million, the second highest jackpot in Mega Millions history, passed only by the $656 million jackpot won in March,2012.. It will also be the fourth highest jackpot ever offered in lottery in the United States.
Tuesday's drawing has a cash value of $295 million.
Paula Otto, the Virginia Lottery's executive director and Mega Millions' lead director, told The Associated Press early Saturday that she expects the amount to rise even higher before the drawing.
"We've never had a jackpot at this level in December leading into the holidays," Otto said. "If we keep rolling, we could well be at a billion dollars going into Christmas."
But each time the lottery fails to produce a jackpot, as it now has 21 straight times on this run, the pot gets even larger. That increases the number of tickets sold while decreasing the chances that nobody will win.

Our first systems based on Supermicro 370DLE just showed up. We are just starting to test them, but it appears that things are working as expected. We'll be using Giganet cLAN. Similar to Myrinet, Giganet cLAN also exceeds the 32-bit PCI bus bandwidth, so we liked the 64-bit PCI slots on 370DLE (which uses Serverworks III LE chipset). We'll probably find some quirks along the way, but so far things seem to be working. Keep in mind that fast CPUs can draw very high amperage (up to ~21A for a P3/1GHz) at low voltage (~1.7V), so you will need a capable power supply. Look for high amperage rating at the 5V power supply line. > The ServerWorks "Server Set" seems to be the chipset that Intel > should have been making since the start of this year (if it were > not for the contractual commitment to RAMbus). Since I have > purchase Myrinet, the 64-bit 66 MHz PIC bus mastering slots > are very attractive. My feelings exactly. Josip P.S. The high-end "HE" chipset can support interleaved memory; this should improve the performance of memory-bandwidth limited applications. The less expensive "LE" chipset does not do that, but still we get about 488 MB/s (STREAM Triad) using PC133 ECC memory. As expected, this is about 1/3 faster than the PC100 ECC memory in our other machines using Intel's old 440BX chipset. On our new Supermicro 370DLE motherboards, the PIII/800EB processors peak at 636 Mflop/s (ATLAS, double precision MATMUL), so we'll probably be getting about 100 Mflop/s on real CFD applications. BTW, the peak performance is about 7.5% faster than I expected on the basis of clock speed alone, presumably thanks to full speed cache on these "Coppermine" chips. -- Dr. Josip Loncaric, Senior Staff Scientist mailto:josip at icase.edu ICASE, Mail Stop 132C PGP key at http://www.icase.edu./~josip/ NASA Langley Research Center mailto:j.loncaric at larc.nasa.gov Hampton, VA 23681-2199, USA Tel. +1 757 864-2192 Fax +1 757 864-6134

Located in Charleston and Bluffton, SC, and serving the Southeastern US, Energy One America is committed to providing you with cutting edge energy saving upgrades coupled with an efficient and highly professional experience. We pride ourselves on being the number one company in the Southeast for:
Spray Foam Insulation & Crawl Space Insulation
Energy One America spray foam insulation seals air leaks as it expands to fill the desired space, where traditional fiberglass insulation or blown-in insulation allows conditioned air to escape and unconditioned air to enter. The benefits of spray foam are numerous:
- Energy efficiency & savings – Up to 40% off current energy bills!
- Provides air barrier, moisture barrier, and premium insulation in one application
- Permanent solution that won't droop or need to be replaced
- More comfortable indoor environment
- Improved indoor air quality
- & Much More!
Spray foam insulation provides lasting comfort to you and your family, and can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 40%, increase the value of your home, and extend the life of your HVAC system. Spray foam comes in two types, open cell and closed cell, which are equal in energy saving ability, but have unique benefits. Open cell foam is leading sound proofing insulation, while closed cell foam is rigid and strengthens the structure as it cures. For more information on our spray foam insulation and its benefits, contact us at 843-388-6260.
Mold Prevention Services & Products
Energy One America offers reliable services and protections from many household threats – but perhaps the most dangerous of these is mold. Mold can be hard to see and difficult to detect, and unchecked, can pose a serious health hazard.
Our Forticel mold prevention treatment is the ONLY treatment on the market with a fully transferrable 25 year warranty. Most other treatments void your warranty if the treated surface gets wet, just when you need it most! Forticel Mold Prevention is guaranteed to stop mold growth on all treated surfaces for 25 years, making it the first choice for premier residential and commercial builders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Spray Foam the same as "sprayed in" or "blown in" insulation?
"Sprayed in insulation" is a commonly searched phrase and usually refers to Spray Foam Insulation. "Blown in insulation" usually refers to blown in cellulose, which is loose and lays on the attic floor, and is usually removed during the upgrade to spray foam. Other common search terms for spray foam insulation are: foam types, polyurethane insulation, polyurethane foam, expanding foam, roof spray, diy foam, foam roofing, and spray insulation.
What is the R-Value of Spray Foam Insulation?
The R-Value varies depending on the depth of the application and the type of foam used. The characteristic that makes spray foam the optimum solution for insulating is its ability to air seal the space in which it is applied. Fiberglass, blown in insulation, and cellulose may have a similar or higher r-value, but all of that is lost without a proper air seal. Spray foam is the only insulation that provides a thermal, air, and moisture barrier all in one application, making it superior to other insulation options.
If my house floods, is my Forticel Mold Prevention warranty voided?
No! In fact, Forticel Mold Prevention carries the only warranty that remains in place in the event of a flood or moisture intrusion. Other mold prevention products remain valid as long as the treated surface does not get wet.
Call the Energy One America team today at (888) 907-3090 to learn more about how our services can protect your home and improve its energy efficiency! We service homes in cities throughout the Southeast, in South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, and beyond, including Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, Daniel Island, James Island, Kiawah Island, Isle of Palms, Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, Savannah, Myrtle Beach, and Greenville.
