The war of the roses has wilted.
The Long Island man challenging his estranged wife for her seat in the state Assembly is dropping out of the race just two days after his candidacy became national news.
Mark Schimel,the Nassau County GOP nominee, announced Tuesday he's no longer making a bid to unseat Democrat Michelle Schimel, with whom he separated last year after 32 years of marriage and two kids.
"Since being nominated last Thursday, I have been inundated with calls from the media that focused on matters extraneous to the campaign and the issues facing our state," he wrote in an email to North Hempstead GOP Committee Chairman Frank Moroney. "It is clear to me that any effort to have an honest debate about lowering property taxes, improving our economy and making elected officials more responsive to taxpayers will be impossible given the media's proclivity for sensationalizing the news."
Schimel then took a dig at his wife, to whom he remains married.
"It also seems that the Democrats are frightened by the fact that the taxpayers of the 16th AD will learn that the incumbent Assemblymember voted against the real property tax cap, which makes it harder for senior citizens to afford to remain in North Hempstead and New York State and discourages young adults from moving here!" he wrote. "Accordingly, I withdraw my request to run for the Assembly in the 16th AD. Thank you for your consideration and support."
Michelle Schimel called her husband's campaign "a distraction" and said she is focused on her work in the state Assembly.
"There is serious work to be done in the New York State Assembly, and this matter was only a distraction from the important work being done in my government office," she said in a statement. "I will continue to work towards preventing gun violence, protecting our environment, bringing resources to the educational system, and moving the state economy forward. I look forward to continuing to represent the people of the 16th Assembly District."

Cisco VXI – Delivering the New Virtual Workspace – Anywhere You Happen to Be
Almost a year after we first announced Cisco Virtualization Experience Infrastructure – or what we call VXI – we are about to announce the next phase of major enhancements.
During the course of this year we have seen the desktop virtualization market mature from tire kicking pilots to some pretty large deployments, including some over 10,000 seats. Cisco UCS has been a very popular platform for these deployments with hundreds of Citrix XenDesktop or VMware View implementations as you can learn from a recent video blog by our VDI product manager, Ashok Rajagopalan.
Latest UCS Innovations for VDI: And during the course of the year we have continued to innovate on the UCS platform to make sure it continues to support ever greater virtual desktop hosting scalability and simplicity, while also continuing to drive down implementation and operations costs. For example recent improvements include:
• 2-fold increases in UCS fabric capacity and 4 fold increase in server I/O capacity to allow more virtual desktops per server to be hosted without any performance degradation, even during boot or logon storms
• Improved Virtual NIC capabilities ensure the multitude of networks (client/LAN/SAN/NAS/Cluster etc.) that need to be supported in a virtual desktop environment get the quality of service each requires over a unified fabric
• Unified port capabilities, ensure a more cost effective solution that supports all traffic types 10GE/FC/FCOE/NFS/iSCSI through a common port
• Increases in desktop density and management domain scalability resulting in over 30,000 Windows 7 desktops supported in a single UCS management domain
• Advanced virtual services such as security (VSG), monitoring (vNAM) and WAN optimization (vWAAS) for more scalable, flexible and cost effective services.
So What's Next? We are now talking with many IT organizations that have deployed desktop virtualization successfully for initial low hanging use cases like task working, call centers or other profiles that have relatively limited requirements….and are now considering what's next.
And that's where this next phase of Cisco VXI really comes in. Raising the bar on desktop virtualization to the point where IT can start offering unified virtual desktops, voice and video to every type of use case and worker in the organization. And do that with the confidence that the desktop virtualization architecture and the communications architecture are completely in harmony (which was not the case before), so that users get the virtual workspace experience they need without compromises.
I think Phil Sherburne, who leads the VXI engineering initiative said it really well:
"We are delivering on the promise we made when we introduced VXI last year. That announcement was about all of the blocking and tackling of systems integration and optimizing the compute, and showing how to configure third-party technology. Now we are saying, 'Here you go. You can have the same high-quality voice and video in the virtual desktop environment, all in one package.' And we are also saying 'We've made it easier for IT managers to deploy and manage a virtual workspace environment, and if you need help, you only have to make one phone call'"
Learn More About the New VXI Enhancements: I urge you to learn about the exciting new VXI enhancements—from a concise executive overview to a comprehensive technical briefing—by visiting the Cisco Collaboration Virtual Launch Experience. You can attend the live or recorded announcement with leaders from Cisco product teams and interact with Cisco experts or peers.
Come Visit Us: Also if you have the good fortune to be attending Gartner ITxpo in Orlando, VMware VMworld in Copenhagen or Citrix Synergy in Barcelona, come look up the Cisco booth for an in-depth VXI briefing on what's new and live demos of the new products.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

jawache necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 68 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
I am a DJ, promotor and blogger called Asim Fiction (http://www.asimfiction.com).
Based in hong kong I have a weekly night called Scream! which is in need of a good logo.
We play a fairly new genre in music called indie-dance that through both my blog and my night I am trying to expose people in hong kong to.
If you want you can have a listen to one of my mixes: http://soundcloud.com/asimfiction/h…ed-popcorn
I am an open and funny guy, not looking for a cartoon-image here but if you put a cheeky smile on my face i'm more likely to pick you.
My audience are based in hong kong.
They are usually hong kong english speaking students (18+) or expats moved over from Europe or the US (till about 35)
I do want to appeal to more of the young professional (25-35) rather than student market.
I appeal to those wanting something alternative, they don't usually watch MTV, they don't usually go out to RnB/HipHop nights, they are more likely to go out to concerts, they are more likely to be on the creative side, they usually dress pretty fashionable, they don't work in banks, they do listen to a lot of music during the day, they are not rich.
Looking for a simple yet eye catching logo.
It needs to work in various colours and needs to be able to work as a solid colour.
It needs to work on a large range of sizes. I need to print off a BIG banner with the logo to put up behind the DJ booth (6 foot by 4 foot).
It needs to work on printed A2 posters with a variety of background colours.
It will also be stamped on photos of the event in the bottom right hand corner so again needs to be recognisable when printed in a small scale as well.
I am expecting a lot more than just a good font with some shading.
The night has a lot of high-energy drunken revelry to it, its a place people go to to enjoy music, drink, dance and have a good time. Its not a night people go to to buy bottles of champagne, sit and smoke cigars in the VIP area.
Have a look at my website for a list of the previous event posters we have created or just photos of previous events.

A lot of young scribes owe a debt to South Coast Repertory's Pacific Playwrights Festival. And so does Nicole Kidman.
The actress got her most recent Oscar nomination for the 2010 film "Rabbit Hole," in which she played a mother coping with her young child's death. The movie was based on the play of the same name by David Lindsay-Abaire, which won the Pulitzer Prize. Before it passed that hurdle, though, it got through another tough audience: the staff of SCR, which sifts through hundreds of plays each year to select a small lineup for the annual festival.
"Rabbit Hole" debuted as a staged reading in 2005, and the next Pulitzer winner may be somewhere in the stacks that grow continuously on Kelly Miller's and John Glore's desks. Miller and Glore aren't the only SCR staffers who read new submissions — that might require more than 24 hours in a day — but as co-directors of the Pacific Playwrights Festival, they have significant clout in choosing each year's program.
The annual festival combines two full productions with a series of staged readings, in which audiences get to see plays early in their creative process; in some cases, the author rewrites part of the work before the next performance. With the next festival set to kick off in April, Miller and Glore spoke with the Daily Pilot about their methods of choosing a lineup — and the plays that, in one way or another, got away. The following are excerpts from the conversation:
When you're reading a submission for the Pacific Playwrights Festival, how long does it take before you can decide whether it's a play you want to keep reading?
John: It depends completely on the play. Sometimes you know within a few pages that this isn't going to cut the mustard — for one reason or another. It isn't necessarily that it's not a decent play; sometimes it just doesn't feel right for us. But quite often, because the level of submissions we get is pretty high across the board — we're getting submissions from reputable agents and from writers that we happen to know and often have long-term relationships with — given that fact, it's quite often the case that we'll need to read all of a play in order to make a determination about what the disposition will be, to figure out whether it gets elevated for the final round of consideration.
When I'm reading a play — and I'm speaking as somebody without the expertise you have — I can see if it's well written; I can see if it's not well written. I kind of look at one of those two things. But as somebody who has the theater experience you do, can you see things in addition to just the quality of the writing?
John: I usually do, to some extent, try to visualize what it might look like in a production, so you read the clues that the playwright gives you for that — the stage direction and the clues embedded in the dialogue — to have a sense of how it might play in real time, with live actors on the set.
Kelly: For me, the intangibles that I'm reading for are, yes, the language, yes, [that] someone's dramatic voice is really strong and excellent, but I'm also looking to see what innately in their writing makes the plays inherently theatrical, whether that's spectacle or a hint of magical realism — what elevates their excellent dramatic writing and makes it truly exceptional.
When you're determining how much rewriting a play needs, do you take audience response into account?
John: We don't do talk-backs after the PPF readings, largely because there isn't time in the schedule to allow for it, but what we do is insert in the programs a comment sheet and invite the audience to give us their written comments afterwards. And we look at those comments carefully, particularly looking for consensus, through-lines, threads that run through a lot of the comments. That tends to be the kind of thing you want to pay attention to. If a lot of audiences are confused about the same thing, or a lot of audiences fall out of the story at a certain spot or what have you, then that can often come into play in the next draft of the script.
But the more important feedback we get from an audience is the way they respond in the moment as the reading is happening. If they laugh in the right places, that's a good sign. If you're not getting the laughs you expect, that's not always a good sign. And you can tell when an audience is bored, too. They start shifting in their seats and coughing, and there's telltale behavior that lets you know an audience is not fully engaged in what they're hearing.
You had one play, "Rabbit Hole," by David Lindsay-Abaire, that went on to win the Pulitzer Prize. Was that a very proud moment for your team when that happened?
John: It was, definitely, a proud moment, but we had kind of mixed feelings, because we had ultimately decided not to produce that play here. Actually, after it had its Pacific Playwrights Festival reading, there was discussion among the artistic leadership, and the feeling was that that was not a play they wanted to go ahead and produce. And then it went on to production in New York and won the Pulitzer Prize, so while it was wonderful that a play we commissioned and introduced to the American theater won the Pulitzer Prize, we kind of wished we produced it. [laughs]
If you could pick one play in history and just say that it had started at PPF, is there any one that you'd pick?
Kelly: I have a cheat answer, because it's a play that started here, but I don't think it was in PPF. It's Margaret Edson's "Wit."
Wonderful play.
Kelly: Correct me if I'm wrong, John, but the story goes that that came in as a 10-page sample. We have open submissions, so that even writers who are not represented can send us 10 pages of a play along with a query letter and get considered. That play came to us through that. She was not agented, Margaret Edson. We got a 10-page sample. A smart reader in the literary office at that time asked for the full script, and [founding artistic director] Martin Benson fell in love with it and directed the world premiere here. That was not a part of PPF, so I wish that that had been a part.
John: Because PPF hadn't existed yet.
Kelly: That's why it's a cheat. So we did do the world premiere of that particular play. But that's an example of how, when it's working well, our new-play pipeline can identify the best new writers and plays out there.

Unroasted coffee beans are very good sources of antioxidants, similar to those found
in fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately the coffee roasting process destroys some
of the beneficial compounds. By specially handling the coffee beans from the field
and throughout the process (using our patented HealthyRoast Process™),
you end up with a cup of great tasting coffee with antioxidant levels greater than most green teas.
Caffe Sanora Coffee does not contain any additives or increased levels of caffeine
(in fact, there is a decaf version).
The only thing in Caffe Sanora is what Mother Nature intended.
Our Organic Breakfast Blend
won the Precious Commodity Award at the 2008 Winter Fancy Food Show in San Diego.
Caffe Sanora Organic Breakfast Blend is the perfect waker-upper for the start of a busy day. Our Breakfast Blend has the clean, fresh flavor that comes from lightly roasted Arabica beans.
For those who like their brew bold and bracing, Caffe Sanora Dark Roast is packed with deep, complex flavors. Its richness is a great match with dessert.

Members of the Hart family wrestled with the sudden, tragic death of Chris Benoit yesterday.
Legendary wrestler Bret Hart had to stop and compose himself often when talking fondly of a man considered his brother and friend.
"I don't know the details, and I'm not sure I even want to know," said Hart, just hours after learning of the discovery of Benoit's body - along with those of his wife and son - in his suburban Atlanta home.
"He was like a family member to me, and everyone in my family is taking it real hard.
"It's almost like reliving the whole Owen (Hart) death over again."
At a young age, Benoit, an Edmonton native, became a standout among many wrestling prospects who trained in the famed "dungeon" basement of the Hart family home in Calgary.
"Chris was always one of the good guys - a straight guy and a hard-working guy," Hart said.
"When you list off all the qualities of someone like Benoit, he had a lot of integrity and was a good, family man. "He was really respected and really loved by everybody."
Bret's older brother, Ross Hart, a producer and former part-time wrestler, further described the onetime "Canadian Crippler" as respectful, polite and very humble.
"We kind of adopted him when he first broke into the business in 1986," said Ross, adding Benoit was a huge fan of Stampede Wrestling and idolized the Dynamite Kid.
"He was a quick learner, fast on his feet and had natural strength and agility.
"We learned right away he'd be a natural talent."
And he's been an outstanding mentor to the next generation of Hart family wrestlers, said Ross and Bret's sister, Diana.
That's especially true of the last six months in Atlanta, where Harry Smith (son of the late Davey Boy Smith), Nattie Neidhart (daughter of Jim Neidhart), T.J. Wilson (Nattie Neidhart's fiance) and Ted Hart (Ross's nephew) had been training close to Benoit.
"My son Harry and the others have all been talking about all the great plans that were to come with Chris mentoring them," said an emotionally shaken Diana, the former wife of Davey Boy Smith.
"And they were all hoping of Bret coming back to have a Hart Foundation wrestling reunion.
"This is all really hard to believe."

DailyDirt: Airing Out Dirty Corporate Laundry
from the urls-we-dig-up deptBig companies often pride themselves on the corporate cultures they've developed. But over time, maintaining the same culture can become difficult as industries change and when shareholders aren't so happy with a company's performance. When employees leave a big firm, the culture can quickly bleed away. Here are just some examples of employees publicly pointing out some corporate culture shifts.
- Greg Smith resigned from Goldman Sachs, and he had a lot to say about how the company changed on his way out. "People who care only about making money will not sustain this firm..." [url]
- Stephen Elop's "burning platform" memo was published a little over a year ago in 2011. Has Nokia hit the water yet? [url]
- Brad Garlinghouse wrote Yahoo's "Peanut Butter Manifesto" back in 2006. It looks like that peanut butter is being spread thick on patent trolling now. We should all hate peanut butter, indeed. [url]

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 30, 2012) – With the fall season wrapping up, head coach Tony Skole was able to sit down with the ETSU athletic media relations staff for question-and-answer session to let the fans know how the team is doing.
Below is the Q&A with Coach Skole…
The fall season came to an end with the Blue/Gold World Series. Give your overall thoughts on the three-game series and what you were pleased to see in those games?
The Blue/Gold World Series is always a great event. Our coaches and players were very excited to compete and we had a great turnout as well. The Blue Team was able to win the deciding game on Sunday. The Most Valuable Player was freshman infielder Trey York and the Most Valuable Pitcher was freshman left-handed pitcher Kevin Marnon. We had some great performances on both teams throughout the series.
The team was able to hold 28 practices over a 45-day span this fall. What were you able take away from the fall season? What were you pleased with? What do you think still needs some improvement before opening day arrives?
It's always exciting when you put together a roster and getting to see it come together on the field. I was extremely pleased with our fall practice season. It was by no doubt the most productive fall season I have ever had here at ETSU and there were two main reasons for this.
The first had to deal with the relentless work ethic of my coaching staff. Coach Bunn, Coach Barksdale and Coach Landreth have been great. This is just the second year of our staff being together, so last year we went through a learning curve together. This year things have gone so much smoother and we have been more productive. I sincerely feel like I have the best assistant coaches in the country. My players are very fortunate to be around them on a daily basis.
The second reason our fall season was so productive was the fact we were able to be on our own field in our brand new facility. For the first time in 14 years, we were able to get quality work done on an individual player development basis before we took the field as a team. In the past, because we did not have our own field, we were only able to get on the field on specific practice days. Obviously, this was very limiting. However, this year, once our fall season officially began, we were already ahead of where we had been in previous years.
This team's work ethic, commitment to each other, and uncommon desire to succeed has been very pleasing to our coaching staff this fall. Even though we have a lot of new players and youth in our program, I like the "Baseball IQ" of this group. We have outstanding leadership from our seniors and they have done a great job at making sure our ball club is doing the right things while also paying attention to the small details.
Out of the 28 days of team practice this fall – looking back over my practice notes – I don't think we had one unproductive day. This group really got after it, while displaying great energy and passion each day we took the field.
As a coaching staff, were you guys able to build a starting lineup leading into the spring season during fall play, or will there be some competition for spots once the guys return in January?
One of the things which made our fall season productive was the fact we have a lot of players competing for spots in our lineup and rotation. If we had to play today, I would feel very confident about the lineup we could put out there, but I also realize this lineup will probably not be the same lineup come this spring. We have some very good returning players who have proven themselves and I could pencil them in the lineup today, but we also have some positions and areas that are up for grabs. From a position-player standpoint, we have outstanding depth. We have 19 hitters and I feel confident all of those guys can help us win. On our pitching staff, all of our guys are strike throwers and you can never have enough of them, so we are anticipating our pitchers playing an important role.
With all the newcomers on this season's squad, how important was the fall season for the entire team to come together and build team chemistry?
It has been very rewarding watching this group come together. The credit goes to our returning players, who have done an outstanding job in helping our new players make their transition a lot easier. We require our guys to make a huge commitment to our program. There is a lot required and expected from everyone once they arrive on campus. At first, this can be difficult for our new guys, but soon they begin to understand they are now a part of something bigger than themselves. From there, they begin to understand their teammates, coaches, and all those who have come before them are counting on them to do the right thing. Our guys are special and to play at the Division I level requires an extreme commitment and behavior. No one ever said it was easy, because if it was, then everybody would be doing it.
With the fall season now completed, what will the guys be doing leading up to the first day of practice in January?
This is such an important time of the year for our ball club. Over the next six weeks, our guys will be heavily involved in our strength, conditioning and speed programs. This is an area where we really have an opportunity to excel, so I am excited to see their progress. We lifted during our fall season, so our guys are comfortable with being in the weight room and we are off to a great start thus far. We are also working with our guys on an individual basis related to their skill development and improvement. And of course, most importantly, our guys are buckling down on their school work. At mid-terms, our grades were very good and I'm expecting the trend to continue to the end of the semester.

Two weeks ago the Parallel Computing Laboratory at the University of California Berkeley ran an excellent three-day summer bootcamp on parallel computing. I was one of about 200 people who attended remotely while another large pile of people elected to attend in person on the UCB campus. This was an excellent opportunity to listen to some very well known and talented people in the HPC community. Video and presentation material is available on the web and I would recommend it to anyone interested in parallel computing or HPC. See below for details.
The bootcamp, which was called the 2009 Par Lab Boot Camp – Short Course on Parallel Programming covered a wide array of useful topics, including introductions to many of the current and emerging HPC parallel computing models (pthreads, OpenMP, MPI, UPC, CUDA, OpenCL, etc.), hands-on labs for in-person attendees, and some nice discussions on parallelism and how to find it with an emphasis on the motifs (patterns) of parallelism identified in The Landscape of Parallel Computing Research: A View From Berkeley. There was also a presentation on performance analysis tools and several application-level talks. It was an excellent event.
The bootcamp agenda is shown below. Session videos and PDF decks are available here.

Avoid Winterizing Mistakes
BoatU.S. offers free winterizing guide.
With winter approaching, BoatU.S. Marine Insurance has reviewed its claim files and reports the following six most common mistakes made when winterizing a boat:
1. Failure to winterize the engine: Freezing temperatures occur in all 50 states and while they are taken seriously up north, it's the balmy states of California, Florida, Texas, Alabama and Georgia where boaters are most likely to have freeze-related damage to engine blocks. It routinely occurs to boats stored ashore here. Boats left in a slip are less susceptible to sudden freezing as the surrounding water retains heat longer than air.
2. Failure to drain water from sea strainer: If your winterizing plan calls for draining the engine, the seawater strainer must be winterized or residual water could freeze and rupture the watertight seal. Sometimes you won't know it's damaged until spring launching and water begins to trickle in.
3. Failure to close seacocks: For boats left in the water, leaving seacocks open over the winter is like going on extended vacation without locking the house. If a thru-hull cannot be closed the vessel must be stored ashore — the sole exception are cockpit drains. Heavy snow loads can also force your boat under, allowing water to enter thru-hulls normally well above the water line.
4. Clogged petcocks: Engine cooling system petcocks clogged by rust or other debris can prevent water from fully draining. If one is plugged, try using a coat hanger to clear the blockage or use the engine's intake hose to flush anti-freeze through the system.
5. Leaving open boats in the water over winter: Boats with large open cockpits or low freeboard can easily be pushed underwater by the weight of accumulated ice and snow. Always store them ashore.
6. Using bimini covers as winter storage covers: A cover that protects the crew from the sun does a lousy job protecting the boat from freezing rain and snow. Unlike a bonafide winter cover, biminis tend to rip apart and age prematurely by the effects of winter weather.

Social has come of age for business.
Nearly nine in 10 US companies with at least 100 employees will use social media for marketing purposes this year.
Millennials have embraced social like no other digital channel, fluidly engaging with peers and providers across multiple digital channels and devices.
And as social adds to the large volume of data companies now collect, there is huge potential benefit for those companies that can make it actionable.
With nearly half of smartphone-owning millennials discovering brands on social media, and the inevitable "digitization of everything" through connected devices and the Internet of Things, it's entirely feasible that, within five years, the social enterprise could completely redefine customer value, with social being the dominant means of talent acquisition, customer research, and customer service.
Discover the Five Tenets for Creating the Social Enterprise below, or download the PDF [516 KB].

View or download the presentation, Boil a Better Ocean: Five Core Tenets for Creating the Social Enterprise, from Accenture Digital Slideshare
Digital Social Media and Collaboration
Social media has revolutionized the way brands communicate—and how customers and employees connect.
High performing companies see social media and collaboration as a huge opportunity to drive revenue growth, create customer relationships that your competitors don't have, and create a strongly differentiated brand.
Learn more about Accenture Interactive Digital Social Media and Collaboration:
Watch and listen as Robert Harles, Global Head of Social Business at Accenture and Forbes Chief Insights Officer, Bruce Rogers, explore the value of social to drive business transformation and guide priorities and investments.
Businesses enrich their customer engagement using both online and offline data. Integrating social data provides added benefits from advanced insights, predictive analytics and a deeper understanding of the customer-brand relationship.
To accurately measure the value of their social activity, companies need to tie social metrics to real business impact. Using a contextual filter of what this activity delivers allows them to evaluate opportunities and outcomes in real time.
By placing analytics at the core of everything they do, truly social enterprises marry solid business sense and analytics-based insights to architect better solutions. It's a bold mindset affecting every employee, and most importantly senior management.
Companies that seek greater agility must adapt and develop their learning. Synthesizing social vision and pragmatic execution, to advance new capabilities, real time responsiveness and the all-important speed to market.
Social implementation brings transformational change, but long-term benefits will best be realized through distinct attention to the structures, roles, responsibilities, security and measures underpinning each business decision.
If done well social can increase intimacy and relevance, which can be the customer tipping point between buying or not buying, remaining a loyal customer or going elsewhere.
It's easy for corporate and organizational leaders to be lulled into social complacency, especially when nothing has gone wrong...yet. For many, the clock is clicking toward one social misstep that could spell disaster for a product or the company's brand reputation.
To protect against these risks, and to drive measurable strategic impact from social, requires companies to change the way they think and behave.
First, forward-thinking businesses will begin with a strategy that integrates social into their business objectives.
Next, they will put the right resources and capabilities in place and take a "test, learn, and earn" approach to fine-tune their strategy over time.
Finally, social enterprise leaders will turn this game-changing capability into a competitive advantage, weaving it throughout the enterprise, building defensible customer relationships and future-proofing their business.

A new treaty to control mercury…could be good for climate too
Early in the morning on Saturday, January 19, 2013, negotiators from around 140 countries completed negotiations for the Mercury Treaty that will be adopted later this year in Japan. It will be known as the Minamata Convention, in deference to the victims of mercury poisoning from industrial pollution that occurred when residents of the Minamata Bay ingested contaminated fish and shellfish in the 1950s.
The Convention that took four years to negotiate under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) joins the ranks of a number of treaties that address chemicals and wastes. It is the first treaty to specifically address heavy metals.
Why is the international community concerned about mercury? Mercury is typically released into the environment in metallic, or "elemental", form, or as an inorganic salt. In elemental form, it easily vaporises and can be transported great distances worldwide. When deposited in the environment, mercury eventually can be transformed to its organic forms, including Methylmercury, which is highly toxic and readily accumulates and bioconcentrates in animals and humans. Eventually, mercury settles in cold climates and bioconcentrates up the food chains to the point that Indigenous Peoples in the North that rely on traditional foods are exposed to damaging high levels.
One of the reasons heavy metals are difficult to address is that they are mobilised through human activities, but they are also released in the environment through natural processes, for example through volcanic eruptions or in deep-sea vents. Nevertheless, estimates are that at any given time, 90% of the mercury cycling in the environment is linked to human activities – hence the need for action. The recently released UNEP Global Mercury Assessment 2013 outlines major sources of emissions, geographic and temporal trends, and behaviour in the environment.
Moreover, international action is warranted because of the transboundary dimension of the issue. In the United States for example, it is estimated that half the mercury in fish caught in rivers comes from anthropogenic Continental sources – predominantly from coal burning – whilst the other half represents emissions from Asia. At the same time, by some estimates, approximately 50% of US releases are deposited beyond the country's border. This is textbook justification for international action.


text: New SDLG Wheel Loaders Offer Strength, Stability and Simplicity for Multiple Agriculture Applications July 24, 2013 10:42 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Editors Email SDLG North America's two new models offer grain, feedlot and dairy operations easy operation, reliable performance and simplified maintenance. SDLG North America has introduced the LG938L and LG959 wheel loaders, with 2.4 and 4.0 yd3 (1.8 and 3.1 m3) bucket capacity respectively, providing value and reliability to meet the needs of multiple agriculture applications. The easy-to-operate wheel loaders include strong breakout forces and high dump clearances, making them particularly well-suited to the material handling needs of grain, feedlot and dairy operations demanding cost-effective, reliable performance from mid-sized wheel loaders. The LG938L and LG959 are the first models in the SDLG equipment offering to be made available in North America. LG938L With an operating weight of 23,150 lb (10,500 kg), the LG938L wheel loader offers the strength to fulfill multiple chores, from loading feed mixers to hauling pallets. With a standard bucket capacity of 2.4 yd3 (1.8 m3), the LG938L is rated to load and carry up to 6,000 lb (2,720 kg) of material. The wheel loader has a maximum breakout force of 16,410 lbf (73 kN) with a static tipping load at full turn of 14,860 lb (6,740 kg). When equipped with the optional long boom, the maximum breakout force is 15,290 lbf (68 kN) with a rated full-turn tipping load of 13,500 lb (6,120 kg). The LG938L is powered by a Tier 4i-certified Deutz TCD 6.1 L6 turbocharged, water-cooled engine. Cooled gas recirculation technology in the engine includes a diesel particulate filter (DPF) with automatic, active regeneration, a technology in which the DPF temporarily holds the particulate matter and then incinerates it, further reducing emissions. The process maximizes uptime, occurring without any loss of performance of the wheel loader or efficiency of the engine. The engine generates 160 gross hp (120 kW) and 142 net hp (106 kW). Maintenance on the LG938L is made simple with easy-to-replace dry disc brakes and 17.5-inch bias ply tires. To meet operator preference or machine application, radial tires are available as an option. The LG938L is backed by a 12-month, 1,500-hour warranty. LG959 The LG959 wheel loader, with an operating weight of 38,250 lb (17,350 kg), has a standard bucket capacity of 4.0 yd3 (3.1 m3) rated to load and carry 10,000 lb (4,535 kg) of material. The LG959 generates a maximum breakout force of 34,170 lbf (152 kN) with a static tipping load at full turn of 22,490 lb (10,200 kg). When equipped with the optional long boom, the wheel loader's maximum breakout force is 32,820 lbf (146 kN) and rated full-turn tipping load is 20,240 lb (9,180 kg). The LG959 is equipped with a Deutz D7E LAE3 turbocharged, water-cooled engine meeting Tier 3 emission requirements. The engine generates maximum output of 224 gross hp (167 kW) and 194 net hp (145 kW). Standard-equipped with 23.5-inch bias ply tires, the LG959 wheel loader features industry-leading wet disc brakes. Radial tires are optional. The LG959 includes a 12-month, 1,500-hour warranty. Reliability SDLG wheel loaders include standard features that simplify work, including load-sensing, fully hydraulic articulated steering; an industry-leading transmission; low-pressure open center hydraulics; and a reversible cooling fan that helps maintain clean radiators for maximum cooling capacity and easy clean-out. The hydraulic quick coupler allows for easy attachment change-outs from inside the cab, and the full-powered third function hydraulics make this wheel loader a versatile tool in the yard. Multiple ISO interfaced attachments, including hay and silage handling, pallet forks and general purpose forks, provide the versatility necessary to meet a variety of jobs. ROPS/FOPS cabs on SDLG wheel loaders feature floor-to-ceiling glass, joystick controls, air conditioning, radio with USB interface and control panel functions in the most modern of operator environments. SDLG North America has developed solutions to meet and exceed customers' expectations. SDLG wheel loaders are being made available through an introduction phase with selected industry-leading dealers before further expansion in North America.

San Miguel Makes the Top Ten (and it's good for you!)
According to journeyetc.com, San Miguel is up there with the likes of Berlin, Florence and Paris, artistically speaking. "If you yourself want to make art instead of viewing the artworks, go to San Miguel de Allende. This little town still brandishing its colonial architecture is the best place to go to in order to practice one's craft. San Miguel de Allende's artistry is high enough to be compared to Florence," they write.
And of course, they point out that visiting a haven for art and artists, such as San Miguel de Allende, is good for you:
"Working and doing the same things over and over can be such a chore. Sometimes the work that we do mold us in ways that we don't expect and at times surprise us because of the changes they seem to inculcate. When these things happen and you feel stranger and stranger as the days go on, the perfect solution is almost, always a vacation.
"Not all escapes are healthy though. It really depends if the place you are going to totally renews your interest in certain elements of your daily life. A perfect vacation or more specifically, a journey, should be able to help you re-engage with wonder and help you re-engage the world in a renewed manner. What is the perfect way to do this but an immersion in the arts?
"Exposure to what is beautiful, to geometric and mind labored shapes, to beautiful music that becomes grander and grander in scale as the orchestra plays it, can dramatically sharpen our senses and our sensual intelligence and sensitivity. If you want to go and get lost in art, here are some key cities you will find which will help you reacquire a vision for your life."
Of course, they forgot to mention that San Miguel is so much more relaxed and personable than those big hectic cities.
Well, we already knew San Miguel was eye candy central, didn't we? So get down here and soak up some culture. Take some art classes. (see our local resources page for more info on classes and teachers). Create your own work of art. Find yourself. Relax and have fun!

It came as a jolt to me, and I hope to others, that Mark Sanford has entered the race to be our next Congressman. His confidant, our State Sen. Tom Davis, was quoted at a recent political meeting as saying, "Sanford has walked the walk." He sure has. He walked out on the South Carolina citizens when he was their governor. He lied when he told his associates that he was going on a walking tour in the Appalachian Mountains when in reality he was going to his soul mate in Argentina.
Sanford's record while serving in Congress shows no great accomplishments. When he was governor he opposed reducing the tax on food - a true regressive tax. He believes he is a career politician and, in my opinion, is pining for that Washington Congressional life where he can assemble a staff, attend cocktail parties and receptions on an almost daily basis and receive a hefty paycheck and pension.

Now when trying to test some other S/W to make (WIN) back-ups (e.g. Duplicati), I face problems with them as they don't replace local IP in passive mode (ending to connection failure) Tried to google as well, but did not find nice solution for Dynamic-IP (my ISP cannot provide static-IP...).

The Earthquake in New Zealand
Hello sweet abandoned blog and my wonderful, faithful readers - I've been away and didn't want my first post back to be about money. The money is not for me though - its for my homeland and the people of Christchurch. This is the first time in the history of New Zealand that a State of Emergency has been declared - tragically lives have been lost, hundreds are still trapped and the city itself is rubble.
Many people have asked me what's the best way to get donations to New Zealand and my suggestion is through the Red Cross.
So here's the link to the NZ Red Cross -
I truly appreciate anything that you can donate - I know times are tough but everything little bit helps.
Update: An official donation website has also now be set up here.

Will do - thanks for the web details.
Was in Christchurch exactly a year ago and am overwhelmed at the destruction we're all now seeing.

So Lovely - thanks for your kind words. I can tell your heart is in Christchurch at the moment. I hope everyone in your life is accounted for and safe.
We are dreading the list. Just four names have been released today - two babies 9mths and 5mths included.

Thank you for the link. Are all of your loved ones safe? I have been thinking of you and your family. Sending all kinds of love good thoughts and now off to the REd Cross.xoxo

Hi there, thank you so much for your lovely comments. Everyone I know is safe but as Michelle so beautifully put it "my heart is in Christchurch at the moment". All I'm thinking about are those still unaccounted for.
What's been very enlightening in the last couple of days is who the really important people in my life are, the outpouring of love & concern from friends, business associates & acquaintances has been amazing - wanted to make sure that my loved ones are safe as they know I'm from New Zealand. Its human beings at their finest & seeing the reports from New Zealand, the citizens of Christchurch have been enveloped in the same support & concern and that makes me very happy.

(Reuters) - Los Angeles Kings captain Dustin Brown has signed an eight-year contract extension, joining a number of key players committed to the club long-term, the National Hockey League team said on Thursday.
Brown, who helped the Kings win a Stanley Cup in 2011, had one year left on his current deal and, as a result, will remain a King through the 2021-22 season, the team said in a statement.
He joined Jeff Carter (signed through 2022), Drew Doughty (2019), Jonathan Quick (2023), Mike Richards (2020) and Slava Voynov (2019) for the long haul with the Kings.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed but multiple media reports said the extension is worth $47 million.
Brown, 28, has played his entire nine-year NHL career with the Kings and became the franchise's first player ever to hoist the Stanley Cup when the Kings beat the New Jersey Devils in the 2012 Stanley Cup Final.
Last year, Brown helped Los Angeles reach the Western Conference finals where they were eliminated by the eventual champion the Chicago Blackhawks.
The American, drafted in the first round of the 2003 draft (13th overall), has accumulated 388 points (181 goals and 207 assists) and 452 penalty minutes in 641 regular season games.

Swedenborg and Dr. Oz
Notes of a Fringe-Watcher
Martin Gardner
Skeptical Inquirer Volume 34.5, September/October 2010
It is not widely known that Oz has been profoundly influenced by Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish Protestant fundamentalist who, late in life, became a spiritualist and Sweden's most famous trance medium.
Born in Cleveland to Turkish immigrants and raised a secular Muslim, Dr. Mehmet Cengiz Oz is vice-chair and professor of surgery at Columbia University. Thanks to his many appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show, and now with his own Oprah-sponsored The Dr. Oz Show, he has suddenly become the nation's most famous heart surgeon. Each year he performs more than three hundred cardiac operations at New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. His speaking fee is $100,000. Author of hundreds of technical papers and a series of YOU books—the most recent is YOU: Having a Baby—his admirers are now in the millions.
It is not widely known that Oz has been profoundly influenced by Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish Protestant fundamentalist who, late in life, became a spiritualist and Sweden's most famous trance medium. In the November/December 2007 issue of Spirituality and Health, a glossy bimonthly devoted to New Age topics, Oz coauthored an article titled "Mehmet Oz Finds His Teacher," about how his wife Lisa introduced him to the theology of Swedenborg. (Lisa, by the way, is a Reiki Master. Reiki is a Japanese form of alternative medicine developed by a Buddhist monk.)
Once greatly admired by thinkers as diverse as Emerson, Goethe, Blake, William James's father, and John Chapman—better known as Johnny Appleseed—Swedenborg is now almost forgotten except for a small cult following. Here is a thumbnail biography.
Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772) was a respected Swedish scientist until middle age, when Jesus appeared to him in a vision. The Lord persuaded him to abandon science and devote the rest of his life to theology. After Swedenborg's death, his followers in England founded The Church of the New Jerusalem based on his fifty or so books. Remnants of this church still flourish in England and in the United States, where Swedenborgians number an estimated 6,000.
Swedenborg never doubted that every verse in the Bible was God inspired. His deviations from orthodoxy resulted from endless trances that today would be called OBEs (out-of-body experiences). Among his many books, the most popular by far was Heaven and Hell. Swedenborg claimed to have visited both regions in his trances, where he supposedly spoke with angels, devils, and spirits of the departed. His book contains detailed descriptions of heaven and hell.
All of Swedenborg's books were written in Latin. A series titled Heavenly Secrets consists of eight volumes. Although he never married, Conjugal Love was a widely read treatise. Another popular book, Apocalypse Revealed, is a verse-by-verse analysis of the Bible's Book of Revelation.
Swedenborg's most worthless book, Life on Other Worlds, contains—fasten your seatbelt!—detailed accounts of his out-of-body travels to the five then-known planets, the Moon, and five planets outside the solar system. On each of these worlds he was able to chat with the human inhabitants and the bodiless spirits of deceased humans who serve the inhabitants. He also visited the heavens and hells of some worlds, where he spoke with humans who became angels and humans evil enough to become demons. Some of these trips "lasted a day," he writes, "others a week, and yet others for months."
Swedenborg's first visit was to Mercury. Its spirits were able to invade his brain, searching for facts and knowledge but having no interest in ideas or opinions. The most notable spirit he meets is none other than Aristotle. We are told he was a wise man in contrast to his many "foolish" Earth followers.
The human inhabitants of Mercury are slimmer than earthlings. Their women have smaller faces. Their clothes are tight fitting. In spite of Mercury's nearness to the sun, its atmosphere shields the planet from the sun's heat, producing a climate "not too hot or too cold."
Swedenborg then visits Jupiter. Its land is called "fertile." (Swedenborg had no way of knowing that Jupiter has no land.) Its inhabitants' main concern is bringing up their children, whom they dearly love. They are free of all evil impulses, such as stealing and greater crimes. They know nothing of wars but are a "gentle and sweet" people who live in a state of "blessedness" and "inner happiness." Their clothing is made of "bluish bark or cork." When they sit down to eat they do not use chairs or benches but instead sit on piles of fig leaves. Their horses resemble ours, only smaller.
I was further informed by the spirits from that world about various matters concerning its inhabitants, such as their way of moving, and their food and houses. When moving, they do not walk upright like the inhabitants of this and many other worlds; nor do they go on all fours like animals, but when they walk they help themselves with the flat of their hands, at every other pace half rising to their feet. As they move, at every third pace they turn their faces to one side and look behind them, making a slight twist, quickly accomplished, of the body. This is because they think it impolite to be seen by others except face to face.
I spare the reader Swedenborg's accounts of the inhabitants and spirits on Mars and Saturn. Venus is more interesting because its humans are of two kinds: one "gentle" and "humane," the other as fierce as wild animals. The two groups, along with their spirits, live on opposite sides of Venus. Their heavens and hells are nearby.
Swedenborg devotes only three pages to the spirits and inhabitants of the Moon. The humans are small as dwarfs, but when they speak, their voices— which come from their abdomens— roar like thunder. Swedenborg assures us that the moons of other solar-system planets are also inhabited by humans and their spirits, but he gives no details. His trip to our moon is followed by visits to five planets in what he calls our "starry sky," far beyond our sun.
I should add that the humans on our planets all worship Jesus, although he was incarnated only on Earth. Swedenborg devotes a chapter to explaining why Jesus chose our world as a place to live as a man and die for our salvation. In other writings Swedenborg claims that the Lord's Second Coming, and the judgment of who is to be saved and who is not, actually took place in our heaven in 1757. (He was convinced, by the way, that faith in Jesus is insufficient for escaping hell. That faith must be combined with charity, or good works.)
If you are interested in reading Life on Other Worlds, a paperback translation titled Life on Other Planets was published in 2006 by the Swedenborg Foundation in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and the Swedenborg Society in London. Copies are readily available on the Internet.
The book contains a lengthy introduction by Raymond Moody, author of many books about NDEs (near death experiences) of persons whose hearts momentarily stopped beating and who had visions of entering heaven, sometimes even seeing Jesus. Moody believes NDEs are genuine out-of-body events similar to Swedenborg's trances. He strives mightily, without success, to find something of lasting merit in Swedenborg's crazy book.
Now for Dr. Oz's fascination with Swedenborg's other, saner writings.
"When Lisa and I got married," he writes in Spirituality and Health, "there was no 'til death do us part in the ceremony." Swedenborg had convinced Oz and Lisa that marriages are intended to last forever in paradise.
"After death the veil that separates the spiritual from the material world is lifted," Oz goes on, "and we continue in our true selves—either as angels or evil spirits, depending on whether we have internally made a heaven or hell for ourselves while living here." Angels, as described by Swedenborg, "are not a separate species, but people who are regenerate—literally reborn humans." This, of course, is contrary to what the Bible says about angels and demons.
Swedenborgism, Oz believes, is close to Buddhism. "Zen Master D.T. Sesuki," Oz writes, "once referred to Swedenborg as 'the Buddha of the North.'" A devout Christian, Swedenborg would have violently disagreed.
The number of alternative medicines that Oz favors is not known. He believes, contrary to most doctors, that acupuncture really works, that its effect on pain is more than a placebo. Acupuncture should always be supplemented, says Oz, by what he calls the Dr. Oz Diet to lose weight. On an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show Oz supervised an acupuncture treatment for a pain in Oprah's shoulder. Oprah said she could hardly feel the needles and that the pain had vanished after the treatment. In the April 2010 issue of O, Oprah's magazine, Oz's daughter Daphne authored an article on "The Secrets of Acupuncture."
It is hard to believe, but Oz also recommends homeopathy! Homeopaths are convinced that the more dilute a drug, the more potent it is. Accordingly, they dilute their medications until only a few or no molecules remain. Somehow, in a way totally unknown to science, the dilutant "remembers" the missing molecules! Mainstream doctors like to tell of the homeopath who forgot to take his daily pill and died of an overdose.
the November 2009 issue of O, Oz recommended homeopathy for
treating migraines. "Acupuncture and homeopathy are worth considering,"
he wrote, "as adjunct therapies once you are sure the headache is
not a sign of a serious
Ophthalmologists all agree that eye refraction problems, such as near- and far-sightedness and astigmatism, can be relieved only by corrective lenses or eye surgery. Oz thinks otherwise; search Google for "Dr. Oz, eye exercises." Also search on Oz and acupuncture, homeopathy, remedies, and cancer.
Oz is a fine cardiac surgeon. Unlike the Wizard of Oz, he is not a humbug, but one should be wary of his far-out medical advice.

I'm curious to see the answers to this question.
When you know you are committed to someone and love them, do you tend to show your love by professing it with words, or with your actions?
I like both as well :) Thanks for the response fox

After sharing a tip on how to link Exchange and Mobile Me contacts, we were asked to cover how to link Facebook and LinkedIn contacts to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch as well. Done. Follow on after the break to see exactly what you can and can't link, and some cautions on what you might and might not want to link.
To link your Facebook and/or LinkedIn contacts to your iOS contacts you need to use the free Facebook and LinkedIn apps from the App Store. Chances are you already have them, but if not grab them first:
- Facebook [iTunes link]
- LinkedIn [iTunes link]
- Launch LinkedIn
- Tap on Connections, middle icon on the left
- Tap on Download All, top right menu bar icon
- Read the warning. It says LinkedIn doesn't upload any of your contact info, only downloads contact info from LinkedIn
- Tap on Download all new connections
Depending on how many connections you have in LinkedIn, it could take a while to download. Once it's done, your LinkedIn contacts should be new or updated in your Contacts app. You can tell by the LinkedIn icon stamped on the bottom left corner of any new or updated contact.
- Launch Facebook
- Tap on Friends, top icon on the right
- Tap on the action button, top right menu bar icon
- Tap on Sync Contacts
- Toggle the Syncing slider to ON
- If you want to sync pictures too, toggle the Replace photos slider to ON
- Read the warning. It says Facebook will upload all your contacts to Facebook.
- This scares the $#!+ out of me, so at this point I personally hit Cancel. If you and your friends are okay with this, however...
- Tap Sync Contacts
Again, depending on the size of your contacts, it may take a while to sync. Once it's done, your Facebook contacts should be available as new or updated entries in your Contacts app.
Note: If a you're the friend of a colleague at work and they have a party picture up as their Facetime profile pic, hilarity might ensue the next time you get a business email from them...
Tips of the day will range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to email@example.com. (If it's especially awesome and previously unknown to us, we'll even give ya a reward…)

Also peoples emotions (eg. faces of those from all cultures and backgrounds) could be possibly used.
The design could be similar to the example website (http://www.challengeofhappiness.com) however still RECOGNISABLY different. (by no means a direct copy) Creative adaptations of possible design expected!

I help manage a high-end mobile detailing business in the Seattle area. We are looking for a website design that will crush the local competition's. Our website should have some nice web 2.0 looking elements, and a great logo. Our current site is http://www.mirrorfinishauto.com and it has most of the content we would want on the new page.
Mirror Finish Detailing
In addition to being an affordable luxury, our service is green. The theme probably would be best if the colors represented something natural (so maybe green or blue).
We are business school students and we are looking to rapidly expand in our area. We know exactly who the competition is, and we believe that our website needs to be better than theirs to drive our google ad traffic.
The competition's sites are:
We have some great photos of our work that you can work with, and I'd be happy to email you.
Our business tends to be focused a lot towards women, so the page design needs to be friendly to them as well as the casual car enthusiast.
I have seen some great work on this site and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
- Photoshop Originals- No "reused" content- Web 2.0 Styling- Screen fitting content (not too much scrolling)- Tabs for "Home" "About" "Gallery" "FAQ"- Needs to be easilly reworkable into code (go easy on the text design)- A reflection theme at the bottom of the page, "Mirror Finish"
- Stolen Photos- A really dark theme
