You blow them up, of course. These train cars derailed in Gainford, Alberta on Saturday. No one was injured in the crash, RT reports. Advertisement This is, however, the third time a train carrying dangerous substances has gone off the rails in Canada in the past three weeks. Memories are also fresh of the runaway oil tanker train that crashed into the center of a Quebec town this past July, killing 47 people.Currently the train cars continue to vent gas and the Canadian Press reports that local residents of the small town of Gainford remain evacuated.

Senate Bill 2052: Requires the Teaching of the Nation's Founding Documents in High School
Senator Billy HewesSummary:
This bill would require that the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, the Federalist Papers, and the Emancipation Proclamation of 1862 be taught to all Mississippi high school students. While the teaching of these courses is not objectionable, this would begin to impose required subjects on home instruction programs and would open the door for other curriculum requirements.

Oppose. Action Requested:

County gathers 260 tons of tires
OKANOGAN — The Okanogan County Public Health Department gathered over 23,000 used tires in a countywide effort to collect and recycle them.
That's equivalent to over 260 tons of tires that will be kept out of the Okanogan County Landfill, the agency said in a news release.
Free to the public, the tire disposal and recycling event received support from the county's public works department, the state Department of Ecology and Oak Harbor Freight, which placed 28-foot semi-trailers at various…

APOLLODORUS, an Athenian painter, who flourished at the end of the 5th century B.C. He is said to have introduced great improvements in perspective and chiaroscuro. What these were it is impossible to say: perspective cannot have been in his day at an advanced stage. Among his works were an Odysseus, a priest in prayer, and an Ajax struck by lightning.

Fatwa No : 126278 |
Virtue of saying 'La hawla wala quwwata illa billaah' |
Fatwa Date : Sha'baan 27, 1430 / 18-8-2009 |
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad , is His Slave and Messenger.
Some authentic Hadeeths were narrated on the virtue of saying "La hawla wala quwwata illa billaah (There is no might and power but that of Allaah)." For instance, the Prophet , said to Abu Moosa Al-Ash'ari : "Should I guide you to a word which is one of the treasures of Paradise?" He replied in the affirmative. The Prophet , said, "La hawla wala quwwata illa billaah." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
As regards the Hadeeth which reads: "It cures ninety-nine diseases the least of which is anxiety", it was narrated by At-Tabaraani and it is not authentic. Shaykh Al-Albaani classified it as a Munkar Hadeeth.
With regard to the Hadeeth of the bearers of the Throne, it was narrated by Abu Ash-Shaykh in "Al-'Athamah", and we did not find any scholar grading it as authentic or weak. However, the book of Al-'Athamah is a book where weak Hadeeths are most likely to be found.
As for the Hadeeth in which the man, 'Awf ibn Maalik Al-Ashja'i lost his son, it was narrated by Ibn Abi Ad-Dunya and others, but Al-Albaani classified it as Dha'eef (weak) in Dha'eef At-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb.
Also, we did not find the narration which combines between saying "La hawla wala quwwata illa billaah" and invoking blessing upon the Prophet , one hundred times before and after it.
All in all, the Muslim should frequently utter this phrase because there is much goodness in it and Allaah The Almighty may remove many difficulties through it. For more benefit about the supplications which are recommended to be said in hard times, see Fatwa 86375.
May Allaah Facilitate your affairs and Alleviate your worries – Indeed, He is Hearing and Responsive.

I, for one, hope you do make this a public team. There is a lot of good information here. A lot of questions were answered and, I think, a lot of misconceptions cleared up by the team.

Thanks everybody for your involvement with the study. We're still combing through results. We may make this a public team. I'm thrilled to see that some of you continue to be passionate about promoting colon cancer screening!
Amen. You hit the nail on the head. Especially the Drug Testng of Welfare recipients. Just stopping this 1 abuse would practically pay for All Health Care Reform. Again, sad, but True. Wise

i think that things have been such a mess that its time we the people stand up, hold these idiot politicians accountable, and THROW OUT the party system. I am appalled at the blocks, fighting, really STUPID statements some have said, on things that would BENEFIT the people. WHY is affordable health care being blocked? because a group doesnt want another group to get credit for it, or because they think it might cost their already fat wallets something.
i say....make welfare recipients get drug testing and no welfare if they are drug abusers. put people to WORK so they can have some pride and not abuse the system. I am aghast at how many people live in subsidised housing, get full health care, pop out kids like theres no tomorrow, get a check to live on, and get their food..and they are fully capable of working. Yet the poster earlier has a disabled daughter who WANTS to work, but cant find a job..and isnt taking all this. I work 3 jobs, managed to figure out how to live on less than 10 thou a year, and i could be classified as disabled but dont allow it. its a darn shame....when its more beneficial to NOT work than to work something is very very wrong..... i say we start with health care and revamp all of it!! Holly

So true. However, I would not hold my breath that this turn, slight improvement, is for real???
I've studied the markets for close to 40 years now. It appears it's just setting everyone up for , a physc -out, so to speak. Don't be surprised should it All of a Sudden, collapse again. All of the major signs / indicators, which , the news isn't covering point to bad things still happening. Remember, those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it. Sad, but, true. Wise |
All good comments - still, there are some hopes on the horizon for people who will fit the niche in the Affordable Health Plan. Though there will be some copays and possibly lab charges, people who have any kind of insurance are supposed to be covered for a screening colonoscopy if over 50 y.o. We need to promote that message. If their insurance turns them down or makes them jump though other hoops, they can contact their state insurance board and complain. On the other hand, there are people like my 30 + year old daughter, unmarried, with 2 masters degrees who can't get a job in this economy. She is visually disabled but only needs accommodation for transportation. There are so many people applying for any job that she applies for that the employers find a way to hire non-disabled people. She can't qualify for unemployment, has been turned down for SS disability, can't go to the charity clinic here because she has to be working 20 hours a week (with pay). She volunteers at the local hospital, but that doesn't count. I'm desperate for her to have a health check-up which she hasn't been able to get in over 2 years, but my hubby and I can't afford the $500+ cost of paying out of pocket, and obviously, neither can she. My heart hurts for all the people who are out of work, exhausted their unemployment and can't find work. Let's hope the economy picture is really starting to improve (at least a little) as many stories report. I think a lot more people would get their screening tests if they felt they could afford the myriad of ancillary charges. And I really agree about what's important -- cell phones, high-speed internet, satellite TV? What good is all that if you lose your health!!?

I have actually let my internet lapse to get things paid in the past. I personally cant understand people not feeding their kids, yet their cell phone and internet and world of warcraft supscriptions are up to date.
that said, i struggle. i have 3 jobs, rarely a day off, and i still struggle..so i know very well what you all are saying! Holly

I truly can relate. When so many of us are just trying to get bye / survive, I totally understand why.
What really gets me is all the charities that mail me asking for money. I've gotten so I write some of them back stating the following, "I can't even make enough to pay my own bills, how dare you ask me for money when I can't take care of myself & my family. Charity begins at home." i.e. none of them will see anything from me until all my bills are current, etc. Unfortunately, in todays' economy, this is what many of us are living thru. It's just the facts. We all wish we could change this that are havving to go thru it. Keep the faith. Wise |
I agree with both points you made, Louise. But there are still many, many people who won't go through this because of misconceptions. That's why I am hoping, that when this study is over the site will be opened up to all SP members (hopefully with some "publicity" by SP) . I think those of us on this team have changed the minds of several people, but there are so many more we need to reach.
I'm thinking of ways to "spread the gospel" when the study is completed. I would like to post the link to this team on facebook and through email, etc. Also, I am on several other SP teams that would benefit from our stories. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes their way.

Yeah, but really...there are so many more good stories...how easy it was and when a benign polyp is found and removed...that's a great story! I agree...just another waste of money to do a study on this!
Interesting article. Sad, but true. Like another posted: I'm surprised the experts needed to to a study to determine this.
People always cut back on their spending during hard economic times. This is true for too many people, including most of us at one time or another in our lives. However, all too often this is just another excuse people use to say why they haven't had one done yet; they have insurance and could afford the co-pay, but they won't do it--mostly because of fear probably. Too many "horror stories" about the prep and procedure scare people off having this done. . The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes their way.

one of the things i cant understand is how people think...ok so you put out money for the test..it finds a polyp, it gets removed. one charge for the whole thing
OR you dont put out the money. the polyp is there..it grows. causes MAJOR problems, resulting in HUGE bills. which is less money? However...i also understand if you have NO money, such as my sig other. no insurance, and they want every test in the book on him due to his 4 previous bouts with cancer, only WE DONT HAVE IT. There is no choice. But if you do have it, or you have insurance...the smart thing is to get it done!!! Holly

Emigrants returning
South Canterbury is welcoming back Kiwis
AUDREY MALONERelevant offers
South Canterbury is basking in the glow of people returning home from Australia, with the net loss the lowest in at least 10 years.
Timaru couple Kim and Andre de Joux moved to Australia seven years ago. The couple moved back with their three children two weeks ago.
Builder Andre was having to commute to different towns for work, Kim said.
She said the family found it tough with him being away during the week and thought, with the extra earthquake work, it would be an easier life in New Zealand.
Being around family was another factor, Kim said.
She said their children were "loving" going to the school their grandmother teaches at. As they have only been back for two weeks, they are yet to find out if it is more economically viable here, Kim said.
However, she had secured a job at a local accounting firm before she returned.
"Yeah, we are loving being back. I think Timaru has actually improved since we left, with so many places opening up to go out to," she said.
Sandy Boyd moved to Timaru in June last year after spending four months in Australia trying to get a job. She had recently completed her degree in health sciences and moved to Australia to join her partner.
Boyd said she was determined to get a job using her degree, but got turned down for 50 jobs in her field.
She said it was tough to get a job in Australia at the moment, especially for Kiwis, who were only being hired for the jobs Australians did not want to do.
Boyd is an environmental health officer at the Timaru District Council, a job she got before returning.
Trudie Banks and her husband came back to Timaru after her husband was laid off by the mine he worked at. She said they had no option but to return, as there was no assistance for out-of-work New Zealanders in Australia.
Banks' husband is a truck driver and had a job before they had even left Australia.
Awla Kay is in the minority. She is an Australian who moved to South Canterbury four years ago, motivated by love - her boyfriend is a Timaru man.
Kay works at Soul, Surf and Skate and said people still come in and ask her where she is from in Australia.
But when she goes home to visit, everyone thinks she has picked up a Kiwi twang.
South Canterbury people are flocking back from Australia.
Prime Minister John Key said this week that fewer New Zealanders moved to Australia last year than in any year since 1986.
Statistics New Zealand figures for arrivals and departures to South Canterbury from Australia bear out the statement.
In the year to the end of March, South Canterbury had its highest number of arrivals from Australia and its lowest net loss to Australia for at least the past 10 years.
The number of departures to Australia was the second-lowest for the past 10 years.
While the unemployment rate in Australia has steadily risen over the past three years, New Zealand's has declined.
Aoraki Development Business and Tourism chief executive Wendy Smith said she was not surprised people had been attracted to the region from Australia, due to the booming South Canterbury economy.
She said the Timaru District had a gross domestic product growth of 2.6 per cent a year over the past 10 years, which was comfortably above the New Zealand rate of 2.1 per cent.
Smith said South Canterbury's labour productivity growth was 1.3 per cent, again well above the national average of 0.7 per cent.
"When you consider our economic growth, matched with our excellent lifestyle, first class education and medical services, South Canterbury must be the best place to live, work and play," Smith said.

America's future sold for paltry $35 million
Exclusive: Drew Zahn says box office No. 1 hit is practically treasonous
$35 million – that's how much Box Office Mojo says "21 Jump Street" made over its opening weekend, the highest opening ever for a comedy set in high school.
But I wonder: If someone were to offer me $35 million to purposefully corrupt, defile and carelessly tempt toward destruction the youth of America, jeopardizing the nation's future at this precipitous time in our nation's history, would I consider it fair payment for my act of treason?
Sound melodramatic?
I admit, one movie isn't going to quite accomplish the feat of single-handedly trashing America's future. Neither will one drop of arsenic kill a man. But a steady drip of both will do the trick, sure as shootin'.
Somewhere, someone has to tell the poisoner to stop the drip, and I'd suggest movie audiences cut it off before another movie like "21 Jump Street" gets made.
Now, to be fair, the movie is very well imagined, a farce of delightful acting that is, admittedly, side-splittingly funny. I've seen many worse films since I started writing this column three years ago.
But "21 Jump Street," despite its well-deserved R-rating and foundation as a spoof of the '80s TV show of the same name, is a film that not only appeals to adults who grew up in the '80s, but also clearly aims at an audience with a junior-high mentality. As such, I contend, it is a grossly irresponsible assault on America's youth.
The movie's premise is that a pair of high school enemies – one a "cool" jock, the other a nerdy brainiac – become friends as adults when they learn they can help one another through police academy.
After a brief stint as beat officers goes awry, this bumbling pair gets assigned to be undercover high school students in an effort to break up a drug ring. But as they return to high school, they learn social norms have changed: "Green" cars are now more popular than hot rods, being "gay" is a badge of honor instead of an insult and athletics – rather than the surest path to high school immortality – are frowned upon as "fascist."
The combination of social satire and fish-out-of-water shtick is comedy gold.
So far, so good.
But then the moral of the story kicks in. We learn that all the social constructs of "coolness" in high school are petty and artificial. Being cool – whether in 1985 in 2012 – isn't about, "Are those Bugle Boys you're wearing," or driving a hot car or being environmentally friendly. Those are just fads.
You know what's perpetually cool, no matter the decade?
Underage drunkenness, wanton, hedonistic sex and mind-altering, illegal drugs. Oh, yeah, those never go out of style.
And I don't bring it up simply because the movie contains all those things, but because the movie glamorizes those things, defines "fun" as those things, asserts those things are needed to actually fit in with the "in" crowd and in general implies that being a teenager is all about those things.
This is what I call irresponsible. Not even some cheesy moral of the story at the end of the film can make up for the messages conveyed.
If moviemaking is an art form, then I contend the artist has a moral responsibility – either to reveal that which is evil as deplorable or elevate that which is good as desirable. This movie gets it backward: elevating that which is deplorable as desirable.
Some will say, "But the movie is rated R; it's not really made for teens, but for adult audiences who can laugh at such stuff."
Then why subject us to 37 jokes about oral sex and the film's climactic moment, in which a man gets his penis shot off, then tries to pick it up with his mouth (because we really needed 38 oral sex jokes)?
Why? Because this was a movie made for junior high boys. And if "adults" aren't insulted by such juvenile humor … then I'm too late. The treasonous destruction of America's culture is already complete.
Content advisory:
- "21 Jump Street" contains well over 100 obscenities and profanities, many of which are strong, and many of which simply litter the script with unnecessary crudeness, dragging the plot down with them.
- The film contains more sexual jokes and references than an Andrew Dice Clay and Eddie Murphy stand-up comedy routine, combined. Many of the jokes also fall flat and should have just been edited out. There is some kissing and a brief scene of nudity, as well as a sex scene during the final credits.
- The film contains several scenes of violence, including car chases, shootouts, explosions and slapstick mayhem. Blood, vomit, a burned body and a severed penis also grace the screen.
- The film does have some religious content, played for humor. The undercover police station is the repurposed "Aroma of Christ" Korean A.M.E. church, which sports the usual church fixtures, as well as a neon sign that declares "God is love." One of the characters kneels before a crucifix to pray, but notices the Christ figure has Asian features. This prompts a running joke about "Korean Jesus." The prayer itself, while from an unbeliever, is actually heart felt and somewhat poignant.

This is a tale of two Tours. The major affair involving a large Dane, Bjarne Riis, and his yellow jersey took a day off yesterday but nine men went to work just the same.
Pascal Richard, Swiss and ambitious, recognised the potential as the contenders dozed like cats in the sun, each warily watching and waiting in case one of the others pounced. The move when it came after the first 10 of yesterday's 143km (90 miles) was no real threat to Riis, and Richard and his eight co-leaders made the most of it to hoist themselves higher in the standings.
Notables among the leaders were the Dutchmen Erik Breukink and Danny Nelissen, the Dane Jesper Skibby, and Spain's Melchor Mauri, and their work-rate gave fans crowding the five hills on the road from Valence something to shout about.
Richard was highest placed of the leaders, 43min and 59sec from the top spot overnight. His victory in the 12th stage at Le Puy-en-Velay took him to 31st with 28:45 between him and Riis.
Richard, once a world champion in cycling's winter sport, cyclocross, usually manages a class win once or twice a year. Yesterday the second Tour stage success of his career was added to a similar triumph in last month's Tour of Italy and his victory in the Liege-Bastogne-Liege classic.
Riis and company were still 10km from the finish when Richard was being kissed by the presentation girls on the podium after outsprinting Denmark's Jesper Skibby and Italian Mirco Gualdi.
Richard is using the Tour as part of his build-up for the Olympic Games road race in Atlanta at the end of the month.
Briefly it switched Swiss attention from the ballooning right knee of Tony Rominger, but the injured party insists that given two or three days it will be in working order. "An easy day like this helps me to recover from the fall," he said, still nurturing third overall, 53sec behind Riis, and like his co-contenders wondering when Miguel Indurain will strike.
Riis is unconcerned, at the moment. No one has tested him yet. The Dane and his entourage rolled into Le Puy almost at the same pace as the hordes of pilgrims who visit this Auvergne town made famous by apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the Middle Ages.
Looking precariously lodged on one of the many extinct volcanic mounds of the region is a 16-metre high statue of Our Lady of France which was made from 213 cannons taken at the battle of Sebastopol. Even more precarious was the bungee jumper who plummeted from a viaduct on the route as the race passed underneath, but his plunge hardly stirred the sleeping giants of the Tour.

Subject | [Bug 117234] Add equilateral triangle to Basic shapes |
Date | Sat, 08 Sep 2012 23:23:47 GMT |
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=117234 --- Comment #5 from Regina Henschel <email@example.com> --- Created attachment 79359 --> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=79359&action=edit document contains a isosceles triangle I don't think, that we should add more and more custom shapes to the toolbar. Such shapes can be collected in the gallery. For all those who want a isosceles triangle I have attached a Draw document. It contains an isosceles triangle without handle. The triangle is isosceles if the object box is a square. So if you set the object to equal width and height in the position&size dialog, you will get an isosceles triangle. This triangle has glue points in the corners, in the middle of the edges, and in the center of the triangle. To get the triangle open the document and drag the triangle into your gallery. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. | |

Externality or sustainability economics?
In an effort to develop "sustainability economics" Baumgärtner and Quaas (2010) neglect the central concept of environmental economics-"environmental externality". This note proposes a possible connection between the concepts of environmental externality and sustainability. In addition, attention is asked for other aspects of "sustainability economics", namely the distinction weak/strong sustainability, spatial sustainability and sustainable trade, distinctive sustainability policy, and the ideas of early "sustainability economists". I argue that both sustainability and externalities reflect a systems perspective and propose that effective sustainability solutions require that more attention is given to system feedbacks, notably other-regarding preferences and social interactions, and energy and environmental rebound. The case of climate change and policy is used to illustrate particular statements. As a conclusion, a list of 20 insights and suggestions for research is offered.

Most China Stocks Fall on Property Curb, Manufacturing Concerns
Weiyi LimMost Chinese stocks fell after a manufacturing gauge declined and on speculation the government will announce property curbs. A rally for energy shares almost erased a loss of as much as 1.3 percent for the benchmark index.
China Vanke Co. and Poly Real Estate Group Co., the nation's two biggest developers, slid at least 3 percent. New China Life Insurance Co. dropped the most since September after Zurich Insurance Group AG sold its entire stake. Air China Ltd. paced gains for carriers for a second day. PetroChina Co. and Yanzhou Coal Mining Co. led a rally for oil and coal companies.
About five stocks fell for every three that rose on the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index, which slipped less than 0.1 percent to 2,205.77 at the close. A Chinese manufacturing gauge known as the flash PMI declined for the first time in four months. Finance Minister Lou Jiwei told the People's Daily that the government will increase taxes for owning properties.
"There's concern about more curbs in the property market," said Tang Yonggang, an analyst at Hongyuan Securities Co. in Beijing. "With property prices going up and talk of higher taxes, there are a lot of concerns and uncertainty about how taxes are going to be implemented. The flash PMI didn't help sentiment."
The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index slid for the first time in six days, losing 0.9 percent to 11,337.30 at 3:51 p.m., after minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve's last meeting signaled U.S. stimulus may be reduced in coming months. The CSI 300 dropped 0.6 percent to close at 2,409.99.
Manufacturing Report
The Shanghai index had gained 3 percent this month through yesterday after the government pledged to ease the one-child policy and boost private investment as part of the biggest package of economic reforms since the 1990s. The measure trades at 8.7 times projected profit, compared with the five-year average multiple of 12.5, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Its trading volumes were 18 percent above the 30-day average for this time of day, data showed.
The preliminary 50.4 reading in November for a Purchasing Managers' Index released by HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics, known as the flash PMI, compared with a 50.8 median estimate from analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. The final number for October was 50.9, and levels above 50 indicate expansion.
Slower manufacturing gains would add challenges for Premier Li Keqiang in carrying out a reform package that includes loosening controls on interest rates and giving farmers more land rights. Expansion headwinds may intensify after last month's slowdown in credit growth that suggests Li is trying to contain financial risks as home prices surge.
'Taking Profits'
"The market is taking profits after gains from the past few days on reforms by the government," said Zhang Gang, strategist at Central China Securities in Shanghai. "There's currently a lack of further drive, but it's only temporary. The economy is already stable and there will be more news on the implementation of reforms so further downside is unlikely."
A gauge of financial companies in the CSI 300 slid 1 percent, the second-most among 10 industry groups. New China Life, the nation's third-largest life insurer by premium income last year, dropped 3.2 percent in Shanghai and 1.3 percent in Hong Kong. Zurich Insurance sold its entire stake in New China Life for $943 million, according to deal terms obtained by Bloomberg News, with Swiss Re Ltd. agreeing to buy just over half of the stock.
China Vanke fell 3 percent to 8.83 yuan while Poly Real Estate retreated 3 percent to 8.96 yuan. While increasing taxes for owning properties, the government will cut taxes and fees for property construction and transactions, Finance Minister Lou said in the interview with the People's Daily.
Higher Taxes
China may also use a higher tax rate in its property tax trials and increase "significantly" the scope of residence properties that must pay the tax, the China Securities Journal reported today. The cities of Shanghai and Chongqing have already started experimenting with property taxes.
A measure of energy companies in the CSI 300 rose 1.3 percent, the most among the industry groups. The sub-index's price-to-book ratio is at 14.5 times, compared with a five-year average multiple of 16.5. PetroChina, the nation's biggest oil company, gained 1.7 percent to 8.03 yuan, while Yanzhou Coal Mining Co. surged 3 percent to 10.17 yuan.
Goldman Upgrade
"The economy is not doing too bad and reforms may be happening next year so there are not many reasons to keep selling," said Xu Shengjun, an analyst at Jianghai Securities Co. in Shanghai. "The downside is very limited as risks have been removed. Investors will look at cheap blue chips to buy such as the coal and energy stocks."
Air China gained 8.8 percent in Hong Kong and 2.2 percent in Shanghai amid speculation the nation's airlines will benefit from yuan appreciation and the opening up of airspace that may ease traffic congestion. The Shanghai Securities News reported yesterday China may issue airspace management rules as early as the end of this year. The People's Bank of China will broaden the yuan's daily trading limit, Governor Zhou Xiaochuan said this week, without giving a timeframe.
"I think one thing on top of my mind is PBOC's widening the band on currency exchange rates, as the RMB appreciates more, it's obviously beneficial for airlines," says Patrick Xu, Hong Kong-based analyst with Barclays. "There talk about the reform of airspace. That helps share prices."
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. upgraded China's stocks to overweight and boosted its forecasts for the nation's economic growth and the yuan next year. The full document from the top-level Communist Party meeting has "reinvigorated" market expectations on reform and China's longer-term growth prospects, strategists including Timothy Moe wrote in a report.
Goldman Sachs favors reform beneficiaries and recommends stocks that revolve around the theme of mass-market consumption, healthcare, brokers and defense. It is also overweight Chinese banks which are "trading at very low absolute valuations."
The Bloomberg China-US Equity Index slid 0.9 percent in New York yesterday, while the db X-trackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares Fund lost 0.7 percent.

David Akin is known to have been in Newport, Rhode Island as early as 1662. He is believed to have been the husband of Mary Akin of Portsmouth, RI who purchased land in 1671. They began one line of the Akin Family much of which is documented here. This material has been gathered during my two decades(+) of work from many sources, and I thank everyone who has made a contribution. I have tried to source this material to the extent that I can, but much work remains - particularly in verifying some of the research from others who did not document their sources. I apologize if I have not given proper credit to someone. It was certainly unintentional.
The information on this Rootsweb site provides "free" access to the Akin Family Tree; however, the data is maintained on the "David Akin of Newport, R.I." tree on Ancestry.com. In addition to the genealogical data available here, the Ancestry.com tree also contains photos, images of documents, and stories contributed by me and others. I will continue to update the GEDCOM below about once per month by downloading the GEDCOM from Ancestry.com and uploading it to Rootsweb. You should be aware, however, that the most complete and up-to-date information on the Akin family is on Ancestry.com.
NOTE: GEDCOM files downloaded from Ancestry.com do not always show the correct order for multiple spouses! I apologize for this inconvenience, but do not have any way to correct this.

Is there any short term (i.e., next ten days) hope for widespread relief? Unfortunately, no. While there will be periodic thunderstorms, they are not expected to cause widespread soaking rains. Here's why.
We have been dominated by a high pressure system in the upper atmosphere above the Plains and Midwest all summer. That is not unusual. What has been unusual is the strength of the high. There is no indication of the high breaking down in the next eight days. It might scoot a little farther west weekend after next which would allow some relief in the Midwest but it would be temporary.
So, what might cause widespread relief in the medium term?
Our best hope is for a Pacific hurricane or tropical storm to come ashore along Mexico's west coast and have its moisture transported into the Plains and interact with a cold front or existing low pressure center.
In the scenario above, widespread three to seven inch rains would be typical. If the system were to stall, amounts would be even heavier. These rains would be of the soaking variety.
There is nothing like this on the horizon. If it were to occur, it would be sometime from the last week of August to about the first week of November. This is something that occurs in the Plains about once every eight to ten years.

What to Watch Part I
Now comes one of the biggest decisions of my life: what should we show her first?! Matt and I ate dinner at a new Indian restaurant in our town last night, and I made us create a list of options. This week, I'll share with you clips from the list, and along with considering all of your comments and suggestions (bring 'em on!), I'll have a poll at the end of the week for you to vote on your choice for Romy's first TV show!
Today's options: The Muppets. We love us some Muppets in our house. But which episode? Which songs? Here are some of my faves:

Muppets are great. I always thought of it as more of 4-6y.o. show.
For current song tot television:
Have you seen Yo Gabba Gabba? It's actually quite enjoyable. My friend's (just turned 3 year old) son loves it. - 9:51 AM
- Natalie Whipple said...
Sesame Street is still a fave in this house as well. When it comes to TV, it's mostly PBS in general here. My kids both love Dinosaur Train. The new one, The Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About That, has been received very well here. Dino Boy in particular loves it.
As for movies, I keep my kids on a healthy Miyazaki diet:) With the occasional Pixar movie. - 10:56 AM

Kipper--so slow, not too much happening on the tv screen at once. The accents are great too.
Anja has watched everything already.(does that mean she will be a dullard? ha ah) She loves yo gabba gabba--but it's a lot of weird things for a first-timer. - 11:02 AM
My boys loved Blue's Clues. All the characters are named for colors. Baby Einstein was also a big hit.

WeBe++ 1.1 Update: PS3 Buttons & Cursors
Author: mringwal // Category: Development, News, RepositoryThe first version of WeBe++ lacked one important feature: Cursor support – a severe problem for AppleTV 2G users. And for the large number of PS3 users, operating their device without these geometric symbol buttons (triangle, square, cross, and circle) wasn't fun either. The new update solves both by a special PS3 widget. Give it a try!

February 16th, 2011 at 11:15 pmWill you be making a iPad version? (iPad keyboard)

February 17th, 2011 at 3:59 amWhat does this app do? First I'm hearing of it.
Wheelie Stunt Says:
February 17th, 2011 at 5:07 amI bought webe++ for my iPhone which, as I understand it, makes it work as a HID BT Keyboard. It works with my PC but my iPad just won't "see" the iphone as a bluetooth keyboard. Why is this happening if the iPad (4.2.1) can actually connect to any BT keyboard I've thrown to it? …I just bought this app to get this functionality as I want to use my iPhone as a BT keyboard for my iPad but it seems that the only way to accomplish this is buying "BTStack keyboard" for the iPad….why? Will Webe++ ever connect to the iPad out of the box?
JabbaWockeeXx Says:
February 17th, 2011 at 6:31 amTo answer my own question above, I just bought it for the iPad and I use it as a keyboard for my ps3 while playing DC Universe Online, I love this app saved me $60 from buying a Bluetooth keyboard :D

August 4th, 2011 at 6:19 pmMy ps3 keeps having an error occur during pairing. I've tried an tried but still webe does not work with my ps3, Im sure others have had little to no problem doing this tho.
Scammed Says:
October 1st, 2011 at 10:51 amI tried this with the cracked version on my 3gs, didn't work and then actually bought this for the 4 and it fails to work with the ps3 both ways. I think maybe the ps3 implemented some type of new security with the v3.72 update and there might have been some vulnerability associated with 3rd party bluetooth devices or they were trying to sift out any non-Sony products to generate more profit because we all know they're a poor company and they're almost bankrupt.
At least it can control my laptop when connected to the tv. -
Scammed Says:
October 1st, 2011 at 10:52 amYeah, it doesn't work. What fw version (system software) was your ps3 running when you tried?
Ernie Says:
January 31st, 2012 at 11:22 pmI tried this on a Iphone 3G running IOS 4.1 with my PS3 custom FW 3.55 with spoofer 3.72. The devices pair and connect but does not work. Would like to find a way to get a refund through cydia or find a way to get it to work. Using BTstack as required.

February 19th, 2012 at 4:49 pmThis shit don't work I got a ipad2 and a ps3 I turned on both my Bluetooth on. It's appears that I can pick it up off my ps3 . My ipad2 does the same but when I go on the app it won't show play station what do I do

Manchester City remain determined that Carlos Tevez will be held to the remaining three years of his £250,000-a-week contract if a suitable offer does not come in for him, despite the latest statement declaring his desire to leave the club.
City are unperturbed and not entirely surprised by the latest development surrounding Tevez's future, which eclipsed news of the club's first summer signing – a cause for celebration. Though the Tevez camp feel City have responded positively and with appreciation of the player's family problems when they contacted them shortly before a Tevez statement was issued last night, City still consider Tevez to be a striker in the Fernando Torres bracket and will therefore not contemplate releasing him for less than £40m, two years into his five-year contract. They actually value him at closer to £50m.
Tevez, who looked happy and relaxed with team-mate Pablo Zabaleta among the Argentina ranks at the Copa America yesterday, issued a statement in which he again cited life without his wife Vanesa and daughters, Katie and Florencia, as reasons why he wants out of City. He has spent a month in Argentina in the company of Vanesa, with whom he has been reunited after a period of separation, and failed to convince her that they can make a life together in Manchester. The Tevez side insist that the family-friendly Latin environment suits Vanesa, who did not settle in England and does not want a high-profile social life, which is why Italy is a possible next destination.
"I hope that the people understand the difficult circumstances I have been living under the past 12 months, in regards to my family," the Tevez statement said. "Living without my children in Manchester has been incredibly challenging for me. Everything I do, I do for my daughters, Katie and Florencia. I need to be closer to them and to spend more time with them. I hope I have done my bit to help City continue their progress towards their ambition to be champions of England and to advance in the Champions League. I have no doubt that the players and management of City will achieve great success in the future."
Tevez's representatives will wait to see if the statement elicits any response today but their problem is that only a handful of the world's elite clubs can afford Tevez and the most likely suitors, Internazionale, have already said the salary is "out of the question." There have been no bids for Tevez, who may even now consider a move to Juventus, sacrificing the prospect of Champions League football altogether to get his escape. Chelsea have not ruled out a bid for the player.
City will not be cowed into offloading Tevez simply because of the threat that he will withdraw his good will and the club are actually more relaxed about the situation than when Tevez last asked for a transfer, in December, because they no longer face the uncertainty of fans' reactions. Tevez came only third in the club's player of the year award placings – a sign that players like Vincent Kompany and Nigel de Jong are considered to be the current legends of the club. The Blue Moon website forum encapsulated the mood as usual, late last night, in the post which, in a cleaned up form, read: "Sorry Carlos but today is Gaël Clichy day. So if you wouldn't mind... We'll deal with you tomorrow."
There is as yet no sense that City would be willing to take a balance-sheet hit and sell Tevez cheaply simply to remove the distraction which the captain's on-off relationship with the club is causing. But Roberto Mancini may have to consider the effect of Tevez's presence on the morale of his players and the dressing room. At least three City players are known to have expressed the view that they do not want Tevez to be captain next season, though the manager has declared in the past week that he believes Tevez will stay.
Last month, Tevez seemed to be leaning towards staying at Eastlands, declaring that there would not be "a massive void in my life" if he did not leave for either Real Madrid, Barcelona or Inter. "We have the makings of a great team," he said, "and we are heading in the right direction."

The gameplay is quite similar to all those Sim-type games we loved so much a few years back. You can construct casinos and resorts, build roads and set economical policies in order to earn money to improve your island's infrastructure.
At the start, the tourists will come looking for your beaches, but then your bars and discos will become the attraction, and eventually they'll be lured in to your luxury resorts. The better you manage all aspects of the island, the more tourists will come; this is how you get to discover the most expensive and impressive buildings.
As you can see in the screenshots, the graphics are awesome. It can be played offline and there are no ads included. Be warned: Paradise Island is very addictive, even if you've never played this kind of game before. You start step by step and as you earn more and more money, you get more and more hooked. Remember that the island has limited space for building on. Demolish what you don't need with your bulldozer.
We highly recommend this game, although it should go a whole lot faster. That's the only flaw I've seen so far. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to get back to my island.

Hydrogen (H2) production has gaining popularity among researchers to aim a better future environment. H2 is very excellent candidate to replace the existing fuel. Its high flammability and energy produced alongside no side product generated make it even more popular. The objective of the study is to develop a general steady-state simulation of H2 production plant for fuel cell application using butane as the feedstock. The scopes of the study include stoichiometry mathematical calculations, base case steady-state simulation, base case simulation validation, a design of heat integration, carbon monoxide (CO) clean-up processes which contains water gas shift (WGS) and preferential oxidation (PrOx) reactors and plant wide optimization. The simulation has been run in Aspen HYSYS 2004.1 in steady-state mode in which optimization was done to generate more H2 as well as CO reduction. The butane fuel processor was optimized at O/C ratio of 2.18 and S/C ratio of 4.6 to produce 39.2% of H2 and has achieved 78.1% efficiency. While CO clean-up units was capable to reduce the CO concentration down to 10 ppm.

US Government Scuttles Plan To Share Control Of The Internet11/03/2012 by Monika Ermert for Intellectual Property Watch 1 CommentShare this Story:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)IP-Watch is a non-profit independent news service, and depends on subscriptions.

You may also offer additional support with your subscription, or donate.The US Commerce Department National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has cancelled its request for proposal for the management of the internet root zone file, a core piece of infrastructure for the global domain name system (DNS) that helps users to navigate the net. In a 10 March notice published on its website, NTIA announced the agency had "received no proposals that met the requirements requested by the global community." NTIA intended to "reissue the RFP at a future date to be determined (TBD) so that the requirements of the global Internet community can be served."This unexpected move is a setback to expectations by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to be re-named as contractor for the so-called IANA function that also includes a list of tasks necessary for the internet, for example IP address allocation to the Regional Internet Registries.NTIA's rather blunt explanation of shortcomings of the proposals received ignites speculation about possible intentions of the US body, but also some quick criticism about the unilateral power over internet critical infrastructure.Some US observers wondered if the upcoming US presidential elections were a factor influencing the decision. Other considerations are related to the upcoming International Telecommunication Union treaty conference on the International Telecommunications Regulations (ITR) where some countries are expected to push for a firmer multilateral grip on critical internet infrastructure – and DNS oversight.NTIA in its notice yesterday listed several new requirements for the next IANA contractor, "including the need for structural separation of policymaking from implementation, a robust companywide conflict of interest policy, provisions reflecting heightened respect for local country laws, and a series of consultation and reporting requirements to increase transparency and accountability to the international community."Has ICANN fallen short of these? The most far-reaching warnings are that NTIA might have decided not to award the contract to ICANN, and needs time to prepare another candidate. ICANN, according to a report by journalist and domain industry consultant Kieran McCarthy, was taken by surprise as were many participants of the 43rd ICANN meeting that officially starts today in Costa Rica, in replies to Intellectual Property Watch.In one of the first sessions of this meeting, governments sternly warned ICANN about a lack of clarity and more shortcomings in the current process to open the internet to new generic top-level domains (gTLDs, like .com). NTIA included in its IANA contract proposals on a much-debated obligation of ICANN to "document the global public interest" of new TLDs before IANA sends it to the root zone, and some warned this could result in a government veto against new TLDs.NTIA's notice on cancellation is here.NTIA's notice on preliminary extensions of the IANA contract is here.A DomainIncite story on the issue and potential problem with the global public interest clause in the new IANA contract is here.Share this Story:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)RelatedMonika Ermert may be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com."US Government Scuttles Plan To Share Control Of The Internet" by Intellectual Property Watch is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation where the operator, an individual or organization, pays returns to its investors from new capital paid to the operators by new investors
There's nothing in there about giving all the new capital to deadbeats who never invested a dime in anything and telling the investors they're racists who don't pay their fair share.

Gallows Humour
Rumours of my departure have been greatly exaggerated. In true Planes, Trains and Automobiles style, it keeps on snowing everywhere and we keep on going nowhere. Yesterday we saw that our flight – Berlin, London, Montreal – was cancelled when we got up, but we had to go to the airport anyway, for there was a queue there not to be missed. Three hours in that line got us an upgrade and a new itinerary – Berlin, Düsseldorf, Newark, Montreal – for the next day. Today we left well before dawn in heavy snow, to find Düsseldorf cancelled. Queued for an hour and got bumped to a delayed earlier flight, which was about to land in Berlin. Unfortunately, at that moment Berlin went blizzard, and the airport closed. Our route out was diverted to Leipzig, I presume never to be seen again. Back to the queue for another two-and-a-half hours (and this was the first-class queue, mind), and we eventually received our new itinerary – Berlin, Frankfurt, Toronto, Montreal – for tomorrow, replete with downgrade back to economy. It's a story full of Christmas joy.
The funny thing about all this is that it is actually funny. Or at least, one tries to make it so. Mrs. VB and I have made some firm friends in the queuing process these last two days. One nouveau riche couple – English and Latvian – were supposed to go Riga, London, Buenos Aries, Santiago, Easter Island, for some romantic Christmas getaway. Just outside of London their plane was turned back to Riga, and the Latvians, imaginative bunch that they are, thought sending them to Berlin might be a good way to get them to London. Heathrow closed in the meantime, and the Germans lost their luggage, in which they'd packed their medicine. Oh how we laughed! She chortled so much her mink coat nearly fell off.
Today we spent chatting to a motley crew of international travellers, upgraded to business yesterday like us, downgraded to chattels today. The prominent member of this group was a lovely and elegant Parisian lady, with whom we partook in devious queue strategies. She was trying to get to London, and when that failed yesterday she had been booked on the same Düsseldorf flight as us. Then, a London flight opened, but they wouldn't bump her to that one because she was clearly booked on a flight to Düsseldorf. Why should she want to change it? We laughed so much it hurt! Another lady, from Singapore, was told to board a plane to Cologne (why not? She was going to Düsseldorf and then Munich, after all) that hadn't even left Cologne yet. They were good enough to lose her luggage, and she re-joined us in the queue after an hour or so of staring at the space where her plane was supposed to be. We could barely contain ourselves! The third member of this group was a jolly Austrian with bad teeth, attempting to get to Vienna. Since it all seemed so hopeless, he had the idea that Lufthansa would book him into the Kempinski Presidential Suite, and we'd all be invited for Christmas on the airline's dime. He was so thrilled by this idea that he practically begged the Lufthansa agent for more bad weather. We all looked like the prancing orphans from Oliver! singing Food, Glorious Food, and pretending that there wouldn't be gruel. Meanwhile, the local news had sent a camera man, pushed on a luggage trolley by his director, who secured a terrific dolly shot of all our smiling faces. The viewers of tonight's local TV are in for a treat.
We waved goodbye to everyone as we left for home (again), wishing merry Christmases and happy travels, and hoping never to see each other again, with the best will in the world. We left our little patch of muddied red carpet – seriously, the business and first-class line had red carpets covered in snow and grit – and walked back past the economy queue, which stretched from gate 10 back way past gate 7. I reckon it was at least a six-hour queue. Everyone looked so happy!
I hope not to write to you tomorrow, because I shall be travelling all day. It seems a shame in a way – cancellations are too much fun.

Hence why my husbands (who's been in the air force as long as you, Mrs VB and I have been on this planet - give or take a few years) says: Travelling over the holidays is simply not worth the bull that travels along with it!!!!
Wishing you both safe travels - if indeed you do end up leaving this snowy Deutschland of a place we currently live in!Oo, brilliant! My mum and I have been back-and-forthing all day about such matters; she thinks it sounds AWFUL and I think it sounds.. sort of fun. The Famous Five would have loved it.
She was trapped in a train station due to weather once and the only book she had was about that plane crash where people had to eat each other, which may colour her opinions.
I hope you land safely!
