Justice George Murphy is hoping to make a decision whether or not to grant an injunction against protesting ironworkers at the new hospital site in Corner Brook today.
Murphy said it will be tight trying to sift through all of the information provided and decide the case in such a short time, but acknowledged time is of the essence for all involved in such matters.
The court injunction was filed in Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court by Marco Cahill Corner Brook Partnership, the contractor hired to build the long-term care portion of the regional hospital complex.

Ironworkers rep hopeful there will be a resolution to lack of local hires on long-term care build in Corner Brook
The contractor wants to restrict access to the site by the protesters, who are a group of local ironworkers frustrated at not being able to get work on the project.
While the application for the injunction was filed against Local 764 of the International Association of Bridge, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers, the protesters say they initiated the action at the site on their own and not under the direction of the union.
Murphy had heard arguments from both sides earlier this week, but wanted a little more information about the layout of the site before making his decision. That information was provided to the court Wednesday by way of a survey map of the site.
Kate O'Neill, the contractor's lawyer, argued that the work site will eventually include a portion of the Lewin Parkway, which will at some point be widened to create extra lanes and ramps necessary to access the hospital. She asked that the court recognize this area as part of the work site now and order the protesters to not maintain their presence near the main entrance to the site from the ring road.
She said allowing the protest to continue in its current location, at the entrance to the site from the Lewin Parkway, is in violation of the property rights of the contractor that has been given care, custody and control of this site for the purposes of building the facility.
O'Neill said there are also concerns about the contractor being held liable for any damage done to property or any injury sustained by anyone present on an active construction site her client is considered responsible for.
Cathie Quinlan, who represented the union, said the union realizes the contractor will at some point be doing roadwork, but that time is still a long way off. She said the contractor has already acknowledged where the current areas of risk are by erecting fences, gates and signage — all of which are further in on the site from the Lewin Parkway entrance
Murphy also questioned O'Neill's argument. He said taking her argument to its logical conclusion, the contractor could technically shut down the Lewin Parkway to all public vehicular and pedestrian traffic if it wanted to.

Auto Mechanics Career Outlook
It doesn't look like automobiles are going away anytime soon, so the outlook for a career in auto mechanics looks quite good. There's another concern people have these days – its outsourcing. There should be no worries about outsourcing when it comes to the auto repair business.
Auto Mechanic Schools
The demand for well trained auto mechanics has raised the educational requirements employers look for. There are two types of schools available for basic auto mechanic training, they are – colleges and trade schools.
College: Community colleges is one place you'll find courses for basic auto mechanic training. You will get a diploma upon graduation and the credits are generally transferable.
Trade School: Trade schools are more concentrated for a specific subject. This means you can graduate much faster; of course this depends on your schedule.
Auto Mechanic Schools By State
Auto Mechanic Courses
The basic course will include the following classes:
1. Engine Repair
2. Transmissions
3. Cooling Systems
4. Brake Systems
5. Exhaust Systems
6. Electrical Diagnostics
As cars become more complex, the basic requirements can change. It would be advisable to find a school that keeps updated with these changes and offers discounts for graduates who need future training.
The basic training course will help you get your foot in the door for most auto repair shops, but you may want more. This is the reason you want to make sure the school you choose either offers these specialty courses, or they are accredited so your earned credits can be transferred to a four year college.
Auto Mechanic Responsibilities
Besides doing the actual repairs to a car, an auto mechanic has to communicate effectively with the service writer and other internal departments. The service writer is the front line with the customer, but they depend heavily on the mechanics notes and repair manifesto for completion of the job. This is why good written and verbal communication is included with the mechanical job requirements.
Starting Pay
The starting pay of an apprentice is approximately $18.00 an hour. Experienced auto mechanics wages can range anywhere from $30.00 – $40.00 and hour.
Projected Demand: The Bureau of labor and Statistics projects an increase of 17 percent percent for jobs in this field. This is through the year 2020.
Career Outlook
As you can see, the demand for auto mechanics is quite high. Wages are above average and job stability is very good. Dealers and other auto repair shops are demanding new hires have a formal education. The "on the job" training methods of the past are now incorporated in apprentice programs. Since the systems in cars have become more complex, the training required is also more intense, and employers just don't have the resources to do in-house training.
All the projections indicate that auto mechanics have a bright future. Unless there is a drastic change in our means of transportation, these projections should hold true.

Hello family,
I love you all so, so much! Spring has sprung in this part of the world. I was actually hot a couple of times this week. The weather changes so fast. It will be pouring rain and freezing one day and sunny and nice the next. Trees are blooming and it's the best!
This week was a big turning point for me. I realized that I didn't come on my mission to struggle with my own challenges but to preach His gospel. I spent the entire week thinking and praying for my investigators . . . and working hard! I feel like for the first time I really put my entire heart, might, mind, and strength into my mission! And it's been amazing to see the results. I am so much happier because I'm focused on my purpose. We had so many appointments this week that we hardly had time to talk to extra people, but we still did it. :) We have an investigator Jayde who is especially wonderful. She just turned 20 and we've decided that we have to be friends forever. But she has so, so, so much faith. She is preparing for baptism and is already sharing the gospel with friends that she has. She is so good. The only struggle is the law of chastity. She is dating a less active member named Caleb and his family is super supportive. We've taught them some lessons at the Visitor Center with his family there. Caleb's brother Adam just got off his mission in Salt Lake City. But they are just trying to figure out a place where Caleb could move to that's still close to the Uni so they can live the Law of Chastity. I've been praying for them so much!
Also, Auntie Kei is my hero. She's such a saint and she's a thousand percent ready to get baptized but she made a deal with Leanna and won't get baptized until Leanna is endowed. Hopefully that will be soon because Leanna is working so hard. We'll keep loving and working with them both. We set up meetings with the Bishop for Leanna and Jayde and Caleb this week. That will be good.
I'm just so grateful for the Hamilton East Ward. They are all amazing!
This Saturday, Sister Namariel had the first birthday party of her life. We had lunch at Auntie Kei's with Leanna, Aaliyah, Arwin, Sam (a recent convert who's awesome), her sons Nathan and Kerr, Ripeka, and the Elders. The Elders had to sit at the picnic table outside. They're good sports that way. But it was so much fun! Sister Namariel's birthday is today, the same as Carolina's. I made her a sign in true Johnson fashion and gave her a pocket hymnbook as a present. She's never had a birthday present before and she said she would always remember me when she uses it. She has such a sweet spirit.
I just know that I'm here for a reason. God is so mindful of me. He trusts me so I need to trust him.

text: buck the cubicle lauren mcgough eagle falconer golden eagle documentary Lauren is one of less than a dozen falconers in the US who fly a golden eagle. Her interest in eagles took her as far away as Mongolia, where she spent a year learning eagle hunting on a Fulbright Scholarship. Golden eagle talons are made of keratin and are equal to the size of grizzly bear claws. You don't want to mess with them. Miles is an unusual golden eagle in that he was stolen from his nest as a baby and kept as a pet. After being confiscated, he found his way to Lauren who taught him that he could fly and hunt and catch his own meals. She uses a lure to help with that training. Our GoPro made it out alive, as do most hares that Miles tries to catch. While eagles are specially evolved to catch hares, conversely hares are equally evolved to evade eagles.Lauren calls Miles "The Prairie Dragon", especially fitting when he is protecting some morsel of food (as he is doing in the photo).

Weigh feeder scales from Accuweigh were recently installed and commissioned by their Newcastle branch for Pacific Carbon's plant at Kooragang Island.
Accuweigh is a major industrial weighing company in Australia and has extensive experience in all types of industrial weighing applications including weigh feeders, belt weighers and industrial weigh hoppers.
Two sets of weigh feeder scales were installed at the plant to identify the flow rate of coal being processed into the client's high quality coke for use in steel manufacturing.
Each of the weigh feeders comprises of a weigh hopper mounted on four heavy duty industrial load cells that are connected to a digital weight indicator fitted with an analogue output card.
The analogue 4-20mA weight signals are fed into a PLC to calculate the flow rate of coal being discharged from the weigh feeders at a TPH (tons per hour) rate.
The PLC regulates the rate of coal discharged from the weigh feeder scales to achieve the required flow rate for optimum processing of the coal into high quality coke.
The weigh feeders are suspended from framework approximately 50 metres above ground level for direct feeding into the retort chambers where the conversion of coal into coke is initiated.

Monster Drawing Rally is a live drawing event and fundraiser featuring over 100 artists.
Artist List - http://bit.ly/MDR_Artistslist
Demystifying a process that usually takes place in the privacy of the studio, the Monster Drawing Rally allows spectators to observe artists in the act of creation in the public domain. In keeping with SPACES' mission to provide a public forum for artists, the Monster Drawing Rally sets the stage for extraordinary interaction.
Providing the basic necessities of the drawing practice—pencils, charcoal, pens, markers, ink, and paper—SPACES creates the context while the artists create the content of the drawings. The evening will consist of one-hour drawing shifts that each feature approximately 30 artists drawing simultaneously. As the drawings are completed, they will be hung on the walls and made available for purchase for $65 each. The Monster Drawing Rally provides a unique opportunity to watch a drawing come to life, and to purchase a work of art minutes after its completion. Proceeds from the event provide direct support for SPACES' public projects.
Bring the Family!SPACES will also feature the Li'l Monster Drawing Rally: a section where children and families may sit, draw and display their work on the wall for the evening or the weekend. Children age 17 and under are admitted to the Monster Drawing Rally for FREE! Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

— After receiving reports of 27 crashes related to a braking problem, General Motors is recalling about 293,000 model year 2011-2012 Chevy Cruze cars.
GM said the cars were manufactured at a plant in Lordstown, Ohio, and include only those vehicles with a 4-cylinder turbocharged 1.4-liter engine.
The 27 crashes involved a micro-switch in the brake assist system. GM dealers will replace the switch in the power brake vacuum pipe assembly, although the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration hasn't released a date for the recall.

Meditation ABCs
Enhanced vitality, better sleep, stress reduction are some of the physical benefits of meditation. "Meditation, not medication is my health slogan. Improvement in concentration will help your career. Over time you might find yourself awakening to a spiritual dimension in your life. This hub will teach you the essentials of how to meditate.
I started Vapassana (mindfulness) meditation ten years ago when I started a high stress IT position in San Jose. Each day I meditate for 20 to 30 minutes using the countdown timer on my cell phone. I meet up with my meditation group once a week on Wednesdays.
The Foundation
The foundation of meditation is that discord in our lives is often a reflection of our own mental turbulence. By reducing the turbulence in your mind, you will reduce the turbulence in your relationships. work environment and even your own body.
The Buddha taught that there are 4 meditations postures: sitting, standing, walking, and lying. Sitting meditation is the easiest posture to start with.
Easy Sitting Meditation
1. Your body should be in a balanced, comfortable state with your spine straight, I like to use a chair with a straight back. This is important for example a bean-bag chair won't do. Sit down with your feet placed solidly on the floor about shoulder-width apart. Let your arms relax, hands on your lap with one hand on top of the other, palms facing up. Your head is level. Keep your eyes half open or softly half-closed (so you don't fall asleep). The posture is meant to enable you to breathe freely and deeply.
2. Set a count-down timer to the length of time you want to meditate. I use the count-down timer on my cell phone. 5 minutes is good target for beginners. Add time as the quality of your mediation improves. Experts say it takes at least 20 minutes of meditation to get real benefits.
3. Now concentrate on your breathing. Saying (to yourself) "in" on the in-breaths and "out" on the out-breaths. Whenever your mind drifts, bring it back to focusing on your breath. As you relax your breathing will gradually deepen.
Try to practice at least once a day. It works best for most people if they always practice at the same time of day.
After a months meditation practice, you can try to reach a count of 9 on the in-breaths, hold for 2, count to 8 while expelling and then hold for 2.
Loving kindness meditation
As you meditate repeat the following phrases softly to yourself.
May I be happy and peaceful.
May I be healthy and strong.
May I be filled with loving-kindness.
May I fully awaken and be free.
Each time you repeat the phrases, you can hold others in your thoughts; "May my family ...", "May my coworkers ..." , "May all beings ..." .
That't it!

September 19, 2011 14:35 ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 19, 2011) - Tawsho Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TAW), www.tawshoming.ca, today announced it has received final analytical results from Eastern Analytical Laboratories, NL, for core samples selected from drill holes WK11-07, WK11-09, WK11-10 and WK11-11 that were recently completed on its Whisker Valley Property in Northern Newfoundland See previous news release dated 22 August 2011).
"Seven of the twelve holes located on the basis of geophysical data (magnetic and IP chargeability/resistivity) intersected narrow quartz veins bearing gold mineralization. The overall results are encouraging as they support Tawsho Mining Inc's metallogenic understanding of the region being explored. The presence of local high grades indicating the presence of free gold is especially encouraging and confirms a gold laden mineralizing system in the area. Three sub areas have been identified and will be the focus for an ongoing exploration and surface activity beginning later this month and a step-out drilling program continuing into the new year," stated Dr. Michael Avedesian CEO.
The results tabled below include additional metallic sieve fire assay analysis with AA finish that were completed on additional duplicate sample material re-submitted for samples that had initially assayed greater than 1 g/t (tonne) gold. The results are reported in Table 1.
Table 1: Golds Assays - Whisker Valley Property - 2011
True width for drill intercepts was not known.
All four holes were drilled to test geophysical anomalies that had been identified on the property. Hole WK11-07 was drilled approximately 100 m west of hole WK11-08 which had significant gold intersections reported earlier (press release dated 22 August 2011). Several narrow mineralized veins and/or high alterations were recognized in the hole with assays varying from 1.02 gpt (0.03 oz/ton) over a core interval of 0.1 m to 13.99 gpt (.41 oz/ton) over a core interval of 0.5 m. Most veins occur adjacent to intrusive contacts or within shear zones and vary between 0.1 and 0.5 m core length with an average value of 0.3m, Hole WK11-09 although intersecting shear zones and fault breccia, remained relatively unaltered by hydrothermal activity. The vein samples were barren. Hole WKS11-10 was drilled to intersect the deeper levels of Road Showing gold which had been sampled at surface and drilled by several short holes during the 2010 drill campaign. At the end of the hole, two intersection each over 0.5 m core interval contained 1.1 and 2.2 gpt. The core contained numerous brecciated and vuggy silicified intervals but did not appear to intersect the main veins located at the Road Showing. The hole was stopped short of planned depth due to loss of water and other technical difficulties.
The surface area in the vicinity of: i) holes WK11-07 and WK11-08 (Area A), ii) in the vicinity of the Gold Pit and possibly iii) in the vicinity of hole WK11-06 towards the Kruger showing (time permitting) will be mapped in detail and in each block, an area will be identified and selected for surface stripping of unconsolidated material to expose bed- rock and the mineralization projected to occur at surface. The outcrop will be washed and the vein structures and alteration patterns accompanying gold mineralization will be mapped in detail. These structural and geological data will be used to plan the location and direction of the step-out drill holes within each of the blocks. The drill program will proceed in two stages: the first ten step-out drill holes, each approximately 300m in length, will be drilled i) to spatially extend known intersections of gold mineralization and ii) to determine the structural orientation of the mineralized structure. The second phase of the drill program, almost immediately following the first phase will concentrate drilling activity to better define the geometry and grade distribution of the most promising block of gold mineralization and to test two additional targets recently identified on the property.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control:
Tawsho Mining Inc. is implementing the standard QA/QC protocol for its exploration and diamond drilling of its Whisker Valley Project by the drilling contractor Baker's Construction Ltd of Baie Verte NL. NQ core size has been used to provide adequate sample size for each sample being submitted for analysis and if necessary to enable the possibility for undertaking additional petrographic and step-down sampling if required. In the field, core was picked up by one of Tawsho's designated personnel or the driller and transported to a secure Core Shack. During logging, in addition to noting core recovery parameters, geologic attributes including lithology, alteration, quartz veining, presence and identification of sulfide and oxide mineralization along with other geologic parameters normally associated with mineralization were noted and recorded. Core intervals are marked on basis of selected geological parameters, and those intervals showing veining or mineralogical characteristics that may be indicative of mineralization are selected for splitting and assaying. Prior to splitting, all core was photographed and individual sample intervals submitted for analysis were photographed in more detail. Core splitting is done with a diamond core saw and ½ of the drill core is submitted to Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springfield, NL. The remainder of the core is stored on the grounds of Barker's Construction Ltd. adjacent to the Core Shack.
Conventional fire assay sample preparation consists of crushing the selected core sample such that 75% crushed material passes -10 mesh (2 mm) screen and which is split to a 300 gram sample that is pulverized so that plus 90% of the sample (pulp) passes 200 mesh (.075mm). From this pulverized sample a 30 gram sample is taken for standard fire assay for gold with AA finish. Samples returning gold values over 1 ppm are resubmitted for fire assay with gravimetric finish. Following completion of fire assaying, 30 g of the pulp samples are geochemically analyzed for multi-elements using 4-acid digestion followed by ICP analysis with OES finish (Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy). Tawsho Mining also inserts gold standard samples, blank samples and duplicate samples into the sample stream at a rate approximating 10% of total original samples. Samples are normally transported by a Tawsho employee by truck from the Property to the analytical laboratory. Chain of custody protocols require signatures and the maintenance of logs and receipts each time the samples are picked up from or delivered to a new location. When utilizing commercial transportation, all shipping sacks are sealed with a numbered tag, the removal of which is recorded upon receipt by Eastern Analytical Laboratory Inc. Check analyses are conducted on a regular basis by resubmitting the crushed reject as a separate duplicate sample to Eastern Laboratory.
All sample intervals where free gold is visually observed are automatically submitted for fire assay analysis using the metallic screen finish. The screen +150 mesh screen oversize portion is assayed in total and the screen undersize is fire assayed in duplicate using a gravimetric finish. All other samples are analyzed by conventional fire assay using a 30 gram sample with ICP-AES finish.
This press release was prepared by Edward Procyshyn P. Geo., who is the qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 and Francoise Gagnon, Eng. Tawsho's field geologist and also a qualified person, and reviewed by Dr. Michael M. Avedesian P.Eng.
Tawsho is a mining exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of gold resources and advanced stage gold exploration projects. The Corporation is presently developing its Chevrier project ( comprised of 557 claims, covering an area of 9542 hectares, or 95.4 sq. km) in the Chibougamau region of Quebec and its Whisker Valley project( comprised of 913 claims, covering an area of 21,875 hectares, or 218.8 sq. km) in Baie Verte, Newfoundland. Tawsho currently has approximately 22 Million shares outstanding.

Lovecraft himself probably never much of a sex life ; according to his biographers, he had one unhappy marriage and spent most of his adult life living with an aunt. Poor Howie.
Then, of course, there was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), better known as Lewis Carroll; mathematician, Anglican clergyman, author and photographer. He never married, and seemed to have had a difficult time in forming relationships with mature women, but he liked to be around young girls. There is a legend that he proposed marriage to Alice Liddell (the inspiration for Alice of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland") when she was 11. He also liked to photograph pre-adolescent girls, nude or semi-nude, quite often in distinctly erotic poses; but this, by all accounts, was quite a common practise at the time - a naked child was supposed to be symbolic of innocence, or purity, or something. There is some evidence, admittedly circumstantial, that Carroll harboured a lot of suppressed guilt for his "sinful" urges, but he kept snapping away anyway.
Those naughty Victorians…...

Only with a good protected mode/vm86 extender (I don't know if any supports x86-64) and a fast enough compiler (dunno if djgpp supports recent gcc builds either).
But for direct hw manipulation and realtime tasks (remember all those vga scrollers, demos relying on vertical& horizontal retrace for their effects), DOS can hardly be matched
Then you *HAVE* to check this out. http://www.japheth.de/HX.html
Its like Win32s for dos! Its really cool!
Python also has a complete and functioning DOS port. See http://www.caddit.net/pythond.php
Out of curiosity, I downloaded OpenGEM and ran its install.bat from an XP command prompt. After it littered my C: drive with about 5 new directories and gem.bat in the root directory (ah, the good old days) I typed in 'gem.bat', and lo and behold, it worked. Not terribly functional, but still fun to play with for a few minutes.

Guy Fieri, the food personality who spikes his hair with french fry oil, has a new-ish restaurant, Guy's American Kitchen and Bar in Times Square, that was brutally eviscerated by food reviewers. That's probably not good when you're trying to launch a restaurant. What's also not good is forgetting to lock down the website domain of your restaurant's name. Apparently, somebody bought the rights to Guysamericankitchenandbar.com and posted a fake menu that's sure to excite all of Middle America.

The latest spike in gas prices due to heightening tensions in the Middle East is having the expected effect: Consumption is falling. Consumers are taking fewer trips, substituting other ways of getting from here to there, and switching to more fuel efficient vehicles. Gasoline consumption fell 7 percent in the first six weeks of the year compared to the comparable period a year ago.
So far, though, the impact of rising oil and gas prices is the equivalent of the dog that didn't bark. Economic growth appears to be accelerating despite rising prices. The benchmark price of Brent crude oil soared over $120 per barrel Tuesday, largely in response to fears that the confrontation with Iran will escalate in the weeks ahead.
Oil prices are now at the highest level they've been in nine months. Analysts expect the latest run-up, which over the last four weeks has translated into 20-cents-a-gallon hike in the price of gasoline to an average of about $3.58 per gallon nationwide, will continue right through the summer driving season.
Historically, falling demand in response to higher oil prices has signaled the onset of an economic slowdown, or even a recession. But exactly the opposite is happening now. "It's surprising to see a recovery in the U.S. with demand for gas as low as it is," said Avery Ash, manager of regulatory affairs for the American Automobile Association. "People are finding ways to save money by making a protracted effort to save on gasoline."
On the other hand, the other major use of oil – distillates that power diesel trucks and industry – is surging ahead and is now about 15 percent higher than at the trough of the recession. "Distillates are a better barometer of economic growth," said Neil Gamson, an economist at the Energy Information Agency. "It is picking up as the economy improves."
Still, the latest run-up will sap the effectiveness of the payroll tax cut extension, which passed Congress last week and will keep wage earners from losing a 2 percentage point boost in the first $110,000 in take home pay. Economists estimated nearly two-thirds of last year's $115 billion in tax relief went to pay for higher oil prices.
Small Cars, Big Savings
The biggest winners from the latest run-up are automakers around the world. They are seeing a mini-boom in new car purchases as consumers substitute newer, more fuel-efficient cars for older gas guzzlers they couldn't afford to replace during the Great Recession.
Where consumer preferences aren't kicking in, the government is helping. President Obama in 2009 raised the fleet average fuel efficiency standard to 27.5 miles per gallon and last year announced it would rise to 54.5 mpg by 2025. Last week 30 senators including two Republicans and one independent wrote Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson endorsing the higher standard, which automakers have embraced by introducing a number of new gas-electric hybrid models and all-electric vehicles.
But oil refiners are big winners, too, and not just from the higher prices. With new sources of domestic oil coming online (domestic production, now at nearly 6 million barrels a day, has increased over 30 percent since 2005 and now accounts for more than 40 percent of all U.S. consumption), exports are surging.
The U.S. now exports 600,000 barrels a day of refined products, up from 200,000 barrels a day last July. "Our refining capacity is so high we're exporting more finished products than we're importing," marveled James Williams, an industry analyst and forecaster at WTRG Economics.
As always when oil prices spike, especially when the price increase is radically at odds with the economic fundamentals (slack demand is supposed to lead to lower prices under classical economic theory), analysts look for other factors that might explain the sudden price moves. Economist Edward Yardeni of Yardeni Research wrote in a note to clients Tuesday that speculators and traders held "long" contracts – in other words, they were betting the price would rise – on a record 43.8 percent of gasoline inventories.
"They must be betting that the confrontation with Iran will worsen, pushing gasoline prices still higher," he wrote. "They certainly can't be betting on strong U.S. demand for gasoline. . . Americans are driving less and driving in more fuel efficient vehicles."
Williams of WTRG said all signs point toward a sudden price decline should there be a de-escalation of tensions with Iran. "Europe is near recession and the U.S. is growing slowly," he said. "Right now, the price of crude is at odds with the fundamentals."

Duran Duran
- Allan Radcliffe
- 15 November 2007
Red Carpet Massacre (RCA)
In the 20-odd years since the original fab five went their separate ways, Duran Duran have plastered the cracks in their line-up with contributions from session musicians and legendary producers such as Chic's Nile Rodgers. Having recently reassembled the original membership, rather than resting on their New Romantic laurels, the band have enlisted current international composing/producing whores Timbaland and Justin Timberlake to spruce up their latest album with a shiny, contemporary gloss. Sadly, aside from the furious jam of 'Skin Divers' and the undeniably catchy 'Falling Apart', there's little these young upstarts can do to salvage Le Bon and co's characteristically shallow offerings.

Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

Mo Adeniran faced one of the biggest nights of his life as tonight's final of The Voice UK (April 2) got under way.
But it didn't show, as Mo pulled out an incredible performance of Paolo Nutini's 'Iron Sky', which left the audience on their feet and the judges gushing over how fantastic the contestant is.
"If that sound is not a representation of what The Voice is about, I don't know what is," mentor Jennifer Hudson said.
"Your sound is your own. It's timeless; it's something that doesn't come around every day. It's what I've been looking for since I've been here.
"Thank you for telling your story and putting your heart on the stage."
The other judges echoed J-Hud's heartfelt praises, with will.i.am going back on his earlier backing of Jamie Miller to win and telling Mo: "If you don't win, I'm going to be even more upset."
Gavin rounded off the comments, saying: "First off, thank you for singing like that. Second off, I want to say that you have the voice of a generation.
"Third off, I want to say that you sing so good you make me feel vulnerable."
Mo himself was very casual about all the gushing praise, of course.
"I've had a great time on the show," he told host Emma Willis. "I feel like I've done my best.
"Regardless of what happens tonight, I want to thank everyone for their support."
The Voice UK airs on ITV.

China is world's third most popular tourist destinationApril 12th, 2011 - 10:39 am ICT by IANS
Beijing, April 12 (IANS) Do you know the land of the Great Wall is more popular tourist destination than the Alps of Switzerland? The UN has recently ranked China as the world's third most popular tourist destination.
It has overtaken Spain to take the third spot on the list of the world's most favourite tourist destinations prepared by the UN World Tourism Organization.
France with 78.95 million foreign tourist arrivals topped the list while the US came second with 60.88 million.
Last year, the number of foreign tourists in China reached 55.66 million, up 9.4 percent compared to 2009, said Man Hongwei, director of the international coordination department at the China National Tourism Administration.
The industry maintained an annual average revenue growth of 15 percent during the past five years, China Daily quoted Man as saying. The number of outbound Chinese tourists hit 57.39 million in 2010, up 20.4 percent year-on-year.
Xu Daoming, general manager of the marketing department at the China Travel Service, said his company saw robust growth in inbound tourism last year.
"The Shanghai Expo and the Asian Games in Guangzhou were major reasons for the increased momentum that moved the inbound travel market out of the shadow of the international financial crisis," Xu said.
Tourists from Taiwan, Macao, Japan, Vietnam and India, among others, have kept up the growth momentum in 2010, he said. There has also been an increase in the number of tourists arriving from Russia and the US, he added.
Zhao Huanyan, a tourism industry expert at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, said the new ranking will benefit the booming tourism sector in China.
He said luxury hotels such as the Hong Kong-based Shangri-la hotel group are a good example, employing strategies to open hotels in popular destinations in China and in other countries and regions, and attracting in-bound and out-bound Chinese travellers.
The UN tourism agency has forecast that China could surpass France as the world's largest tourist destination by 2015.
However, Shao Qiwei, head of the National Tourism Administration of China, has a word of caution: The tourism industry is fragile and can be impacted by natural disasters, disease epidemic and emergencies.
He said that against such a backdrop, the tourism industry in the Asia Pacific region should boost cooperation to get good result. The Asia Pacific region is currently the world's fastest-growing tourism destination, according to the daily.

The Big Peach Sticker
We love Atlanta.
That is the simplest way to express how we feel about the great town where we moved our operations and started a few new businesses. But, it seems like Atlanta has a bit of an identity problem.
Let's be honest. What's the first thing you think of when you hear Atlanta? Hotlanta, The Dirty South, Reality Shows With Attitude, Gone With The Wind, Confederate Flags & Sweet Tea? This is not helped by the local government sponsored ad campaigns either...Atlanta - Every Day is Opening Day? For real?
That's why we decided to throw our hat in the ring with a clean and modern version of a Georgia Peach inscribed with the help of our font making maniacs at AKOFAType. We think it represents the Atlanta we know and love better than the ever kitschy "I Heart ATL" t-shirt.
Size: 3.25 inch x 4.125 inch
Printed on durable UV laminated weatherproof vinyl.
Designed in Beautiful Atlanta, Georgia.
Printed and packaged in the USA.

Baton Rouge Raceway finally underway as Ward and Vidrine headline
Baton Rouge, Louisiana (March 28, 2003) - James Ward continues to impress in the Mitch Tassin owned 3J Late Model as he came from mid-pack to take the win. Jerry Bevis sat on the pole for the late model feature Jay Blair and Bevis battled for the lead. James Ward from the middle of the field picked off his competition one by one till he took over the lead and then went on to put over half the track between him and second place Jerry Bevis. Jay Blair finished third, Kevin Watts fourth and Phil Cooper fifth. Bevis and Blair took the heat wins.
When the Sprint Car heats were complete, a familiar face was atop the standings as Michael Herrington, winner of numerous Sprint Car features last year, won the heat race but come feature time, Terry Vidrine was ready to steal the spot. Vidrine led every lap to take the win followed by Herrington, Glynn LeBlanc, Cary Farmer and Wendell Magnon.
Chris Cassano, Scotty Covington and Jerry Cassano all took heat wins for UMP. On the start of the feature Jerry Cassano and Scotty Covington ran wheel to wheel till turn two where Covington became the meat in the sandwich between the two Cassano's. Covington popped out of the middle while Chris tapped his Dad Jerry and caused his self to spin. On the restart it was Covington and Cassano. Covington drifted high and Cassano took over the lead and went on to take the win. Scotty Covington took second, Roy Schnebelen third, Bobby Semple worked his way to finish a strong fourth followed by Darron Carroll.
David Johnson won the street stock heat race, but it was Jason Wilks who led every lap of the feature and took the win followed by David Johnson, Daniel Jessup, Joe Simoneaux, and John Griffin.
Leonard Barrileou, Darrell Guy and Bill Savo shared the pure stock heat wins. On the drop of the green Guy blasted into the lead , but didn't keep the lead long. He came into the infield under the flag stand. On the restart it was Barrileou with the lead followed by Bo Garig. Garig drifted high allowing Timothy Moran to pass him then he spun and earned a trip to the rear. Garig swiftly moved his way back to the front and passed the whole field including the leader Barrileou. Bo Garig took the win followed by Leonard Barrileou, Timothy Moran, Tudy Jackson, and Troy Dean.

Title: Frame analysis of environmental conflicts in ethanol production in Brazil
Authors: Ester Galli; Ronald Wennersten
Addresses: Department of Industrial Ecology, Royal Institute of Technology, Teknikringen 34, Stockholm 114 28, Sweden ' Department of Industrial Ecology, Royal Institute of Technology, Teknikringen 34, Stockholm 114 28, Sweden
Abstract: Various actions have been taken by environmental agencies and ethanol producers to promote the environmental sustainability of Brazilian ethanol. The banning of cane burning before harvesting is one such action, since this decreases air pollution and CO2 emissions. However, it also changes harvesting from a manual to a mechanised process and is thus likely to cost the jobs of the hundreds of thousands of cane cutters who are employed annually by mills and distilleries. This study examines the conflicts between methods for harvesting sugarcane. Frame analysis is used to explain the different frames held by the actors and to discuss options for conflict resolution. The complexity of sustainable development is illustrated by comparing economic and environmental improvements with the social situation of the cutters. The analysis also illustrates how the values orientating the frames held by actors influence the formulation of public policies and agreements among the actors.
Keywords: Brazil; environmental conflict; ethanol production; frame analysis; mechanisation; pre-harvest cane burning; sugarcane cutters; working conditions; social sustainability; environmental sustainability; job losses; air pollution; CO2; carbon dioxide; carbon emissions; public policy; conflict resolution; sustainable development; economic improvement; environmental improvement.

text: Is this method working for anyone. You put in lets say $100 to your Neteller account, then contact 2 friends or other persons to sign up on your casino banner, then you send $50 each to there Neteller accounts and tell them to deposit the money in to there casino account that they created from your banner. That would give you at least $150 CPA (I have deals like that) That means you get $100 directly to your affiliate account. If you switch deposit amounts and always has a banner in top spot on your casino/poker website they will not understand that you are "cheating"..? They will always see that all traffic comes from your website and from different IPs. Anyone tried and succeeded? Sincerely Robzi

Drug repositioning for the treatment of myocardial infarction through systems biology approaches
INFUSED will enable the discovery of new therapeutic strategies that could boost the self-healing capacity of the heart after injury.
To achieve this, we will identify the critical components in the heart regeneration "circuitry" observed in the zebrafish. Unlike humans, the zebrafish exhibits an impressive organ regeneration capability after injury. The identified regeneration drivers and their corresponding biological interaction networks will be computationally matched to chemical compounds with the purpose of enhancing or accelerating the heart regeneration process. Candidate drugs could include those currently applied to treat other diseases.
The long-term objective is to translate these findings into new treatments for patients who suffer heart attacks.

This story is one of the most special to me.
Sitting in the garage I had a whole suitcase of Jason's clothes that I had wanted to make a quilt out of for a long time. The thing is I don't sew!! I mentioned to Cat on that blog post that I wanted to do that to Jason's clothes and the next thing I get an email from Cat
I've been thinking about a comment you left on my blog re Jason's clothesAnd wanted to talk to you about using some to make you a quilt of loveI've spoken with some of the Whangarei girls over the weekend about the idea i had hatchingBut obviously due to the sensitivity i couldn't surprise you . . .You mentioned having Jason's clothes still -I'd like to make you a quilt of love incorporating some if these - if you'd like ??Similar to the one on my bedSimilar to the one Deb made CamSimilar to the one we made SammyI'll let you think it over - just know there are lots if us that want to do this for you if your ok with it -xxxLots of love preciousxxx
I was overwhelmed. Of course I said yes.
Boxing up those clothes and getting them to Cat was WAY harder than anticipated. 3 Months after that email I finally sent them off.
There were shorts, shirts, ties, PJs, Jeans and his Corrections uniform.
Then Cat got to work.
As far as I was aware the beautiful Cat and Leonie were the ones who were doing the work on the quilt. Little was I to know that behind the scenes there were A LOT more of my friends, family and people I had never met involved too.
Yesterday my Mum and I drove down to Auckland to have lunch with Cat and pick up the completed quilt.
I was blown away when not only Leonie arrived but a few other friends who had been secretly involved the whole time.
It was a wonderful catch up and lunch as the whole secret story of what was happening behind the scenes was revealed. I am not really someone who likes being the centre of attention so having this AMAZING thing all set up just for me was very overwhelming.
Then out came the quilt.
I was BLOWN away. It was more amazing and spectacular than I had ever imagined.
As soon as I got home I put it on my bed. I stretched out on it and cried. Every piece of clothing on there has memories. I get to see these and cuddle with them every night, and knowing that it was made with so much love by so many amazing people makes it priceless.
Those of you involved (you know who you are, too many to mention you all!!) THANK YOU. From the bottom of my heart. I will never be able to say thank you enough, ever.

Mission #51
On Board: Alison Armstrong
Mission: Understanding Men, Women, & The Queen's Code
The Co-Pilot:
In preparation for Valentine's Day, I had a lovely conversation with Alison Armstrong, who is a world-renowned expert on male/female, masculine/feminine dynamics. Alison is an author and a sought-after speaker in gender differences and dynamics, sexuality, relationships, and more.
In our conversation, she offers beautiful advice about how to better manage these relationships to lead to greater fulfillment for both partners. She emphasizes the importance of truly appreciating your partner in a way that is meaningful to him, and explores the deep benefits of forgiving yourself. She's here to teach you how to own everything that you are, so you can find love again. I don't think I could have had a more perfect guest on this Valentine's day!
Connect With Alison:
Understand Men on Facebook
The Mission Log:
- [02:10] – What is the most astonishing discovery that Alison has made about men and women, and they way they connect?
- [05:02] – Alison has said that we see men as "hairy, misbehaving women." She talks more about the way the genders interact.
- [08:20] – Orion points out that men don't like to report as much as women do; Alison takes it a step further, emphasizing how deeply ingrained it is in men not to expend energy on conversations like this.
- [10:10] – Alison discusses Orion's use of the word "obey" in relation to men, and talks about the importance of appreciating people's good choices.
- [12:13] – Alison talks about how to view the "part" in "partnership," how important it is to show appreciation in the other person's currency, and the "worth it calculation."
- [18:43] – What are some ways to find and speak our partner's love language?
- [20:02] – Alison offers an example to explain why love languages and appreciation currencies matter. She also talks about the teleclass called The Appreciation Equation on her site.
- [25:15] – At Alison's house, she and her husband have something called a "credit tour," where they point out the things they need to be appreciated for.
- [25:40] – What makes a woman attractive to a man? Alison's somewhat surprising answer is that instead of worrying about being attractive, you should show that you're attracted to him.
- [30:00] – Orion talks about her Awaken Your Inner Goddess Challenge. She then asks Alison's advice for what women should do to heal themselves. In her answer, Alison emphasizes the importance of forgiving oneself.
- [37:09] – When Alison talks about "owning," is that public or private? And how do we get to a place of owning ourselves and our actions?
- [40:12] – Alison talks about Valentine's Day, starting with her aversion to its disempowering history and false beginning.
- [44:44] – Money is like a man, Allison says, and explains the connection. Again, she emphasizes the need to be impressed and appreciative.
- [46:42] – Alison offers her advice on healing from betrayal, trusting again, and rediscovering faith in love. Much of this revolves around unspoken expectations on both parts.
- {[53:02] – What are Alison's three tips for living a stellar life? 1. Figure out what your shortlist (of things you truly need) is. 2. Make clear to everyone who you care about what your needs are, and ask if they'll provide it to you. 3. Assess whether the shortlist of what people are able to provide to you matches the shortlist of what you need.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist:
- Try to avoid asking a man a relationship question unless you want a literal answer. He's more likely to try to genuinely answer it than to take any hint you intended with the question.
- Don't take it personally if your guy answers your questions about his day with "good" or "fine." It's his hunter instinct to conserve energy showing itself.
- Be direct about what you want or need from your partner. You need to provide clarity if you want your partner to provide what you're asking for.

Occasional excess of nitrite from foods
Finns get most of their nitrate intake from vegetables, fruit and water. Some of it is converted into nitrites in the body. Nitrates and nitrites are also used as food additives to prevent the growth of bacteria that cause food poisoning. On the other hand, an excessive intake is considered to cause negative health impacts.
In a scientific risk analysis project lasting several years, the Finnish Food Safety Authority Evira investigated the exposure to nitrates and nitrites of Finnish children aged 1, 3 and 6 and Finnish adults aged 25 to 74 through various foods and household water. The results of the study have been published in a report.
Nitrates mostly from fruit, vegetables and household water
Most of the intake of nitrates comes from natural sources such as vegetables, fruit and water. The intake is highest for those who favour vegetables with a high nitrate content, such as salads, rocket, spinach and red beet.
People who eat a lot of vegetables with a high nitrate content may exceed the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for nitrates, which is 3.7 mg of nitrate ions per kg of body weight per day.
"Temporarily exceeding the ADI does not in itself translate into a health risk, because ADIs are determined using wide safety margins," says Senior Researcher, Docent Johanna Suomi from Evira.
Preparation of vegetables – washing and peeling – lowers nitrate content, as does cooking in most cases. Nitrate levels depend on the type of fruit or vegetable and the climate conditions in the place of cultivation. It is possible to reduce levels slightly through good agricultural practice.
Nutrition benefits exceed disadvantages
It is generally considered that the nutrition benefits of eating fruit and vegetables exceed any disadvantages that may be caused by nitrates.
"In 2008, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) estimated that if one eats fruit and vegetables according to the recommendations, the health benefits will be greater than any adverse impact possibly caused by exceeding the ADI for nitrates on a temporary basis," says Suomi.
Nitrate levels in household water are generally low, but locally higher levels may occasionally occur. Nitrates used as additives in meat products, cheeses and pickled herring contribute only a very small part of the total exposure.
Nitrites mostly from food additives
The most important source of nitrite exposure for Finns is sausages, particularly cooking sausages, because they are used often and in large quantities. Nitrates and nitrites are used as food additives to prevent the growth of bacteria that cause food poisoning. The heat treatments usually used in the preparation of Finnish processed meat products are not sufficient to destroy the spores of the Clostridium botulinum bacteria that cause botulism.
Nitrite use is necessary to ensure consumer safety especially in products with a low salt content and a long shelf life. If nitrite levels were to be reduced from the present, hygiene requirements and cold chain management would have to be tightened. Nitrites also affect the colour and taste of sausages. The use of additives is governed by decree, specifying maximum levels and products in which they may be used.
The level of nitrites in household water is governed by the Household Water Decree. However, household water contributes substantially less to consumers' exposure to nitrites than food additives.
Levels of nitrites used as food additives decrease over time
In the study, nitrite levels were measured at the probable average time of consumption, about one week before the sell-by date. It was estimated that exposure to nitrites from food additives for children aged 1 remained below the ADI, which is 0.07 mg of nitrite ions per kg of body weight per day.
However, in the research material it was found that exposure to nitrites from food additives and household water exceeded the ADI for about 0.2% of adults, about 14% of children aged 3 and 11% of children aged 6 in Finland. Long-term exposure consistently exceeding the ADI translates into a potential health risk, the likelihood of which increases as the exposure increases.
High levels of nitrates and nitrites may inhibit oxygen transfer in the body. Exposure to nitrites is also suspected of elevating the risk of diabetes, coronary disease and cancer, but the research findings so far have been contradictory, and no causal link between exposure to nitrites and these conditions has been proven. In the risk assessment conducted by Evira, the risk was assessed on the basis of acceptable daily intake (ADI), regarding the values of which there is a general scientific consensus. The safety and ADI of nitrates and nitrites used as food additives will be re-evaluated in the EU by the end of 2015.
Long-term exposure of Finns to nitrates and nitrites was estimated probabilistically using the Monte Carlo method, based on levels measured in foods and on individual food consumption data. The consumption data was collected as part of the FinDIET 2007 project and the DIPP project in which the predicting and preventing of type 1 diabetes were studied.

Reasons Brick and Mortars Will Always Succeed
Technology has made it so you can start a new business without even paying for a lease. Simply using your laptop and smartphone, you can create an ecommerce site and have customers buying items from you with minimal expense.
But technology solutions aren't always as helpful and convenient as they're cracked up to be. A brick-and-mortar store is still a huge plus for many types of businesses, especially if you sell products that people want to try out.
Demand for commercial real estate is expected to remain strong, with vacancy rates among retail spaces forecast to be on a downward trend next year and into 2019, according to the National Association of Realtors®. When searching for a physical store for your business, it helps to direct that search through a Realtor®, a member of the National Association of Realtors®, who works hard to stay aware of trends and often have insights and access to resources a non-member real estate professional doesn't have.
Here are five of the benefits to a physical storefront that are worth considering.
1. They allow customer sampling.
Despite the popularity of online shopping, customers still prefer to try your products in person. Many shoppers research online before leaving the house. Some customers even head to the physical storefront first to try a product, intending to buy online, and end up making the purchase while at the location.
As International Council of Shopping Centers president Tom McGee said, more than 90 percent of sales still happen in a store. Many retailers have even experimented with in-store product demos, with the intention of engaging customers beyond store shelves.
2. They establish community membership.
As easy as shopping online is, a surprising number of people still prefer to "shop local." Almost 75 percent of customers prioritize a product's origin when making a buying decision. Having a physical location means a business can establish itself as a proud member of the community, which offers an edge when winning those "buy local" customers.
For best results, your business should participate in community events including Chamber of Commerce luncheons and local festivals.
3. They make returns and pickups easy.
For customers, one of the major downsides to buying online is the headache and cost associated with shipping returns. Retailers will lose money if you let customers ship items back at your own cost, but you won't keep shoppers long if you require them to pay shipping fees themselves. Allowing in-store returns helps alleviate that hardship, while getting the customer back through your doors.
Another growing trend is the "buy online, pick up in store" concept. Home Depot estimates that 40 percent of all its online orders leverage its physical stores in one way or another.
Some customers will opt to pick up their online purchases in-store to avoid paying extra shipping fees. Many others, however, will opt in because the store's location is convenient or they are planning to stop in anyway. Retailers might consider offering discounts to customers who pick up their purchases in-store. After all, a customer in the door is an opportunity to make another sale.
