Make your cakes stand out from the crowd by decorating them with these beautiful White Pearls from PME.
Finish your cakes in elegant style with these White 7mm PME Pearls.
PME pearls can be used for a wide range of products from the smallest cupcake to the most luxurious wedding cake. They can be added to cookies, chocolates, ice cream, meringue or any baked treat that you want to add decoration to.
They can be used to decorate buttercream swirls on the top of cupcakes for that added touch of class.
The pearls can be used to make gorgeous borders for wedding and celebration cakes. With the help of royal icing or a little edible glue you can create pearl borders that are the picture of elegance. They are also great for topping off pearl embellishments and edible brooch decorations or adding to swags and drops to make your cake extra special.
Not only do they look great however, they also taste great. The pearls have a sweet sugar taste that is both delicious but not overpowering so you can be sure that the taste of your baked treats won't be affected.
The pearls can also be worked in as part of fabric designs and edible lace work to be placed around cakes and models.
The pearls come in a resealable, screw top, plastic tub so you can keep them fresh if you don't need to use them all for the same cake project and want to use some at a later date. Once empty the tub is also great for storing other sprinkles you may have.
Sugar, Starch (of Wheat/Corn), Glucose Syrup, Colours Titanium Dioxide (E171), Glazing Agent (E903)

2009 Guessology: The American League
This week I'll be giving my best guesses as to who will win their respective divisions this year, then I'll roll out a postseason prediction. But since baseball is a game of emotion as much as it is of logic, I'll explore both. First, that other league: the AL
The AL West is the red-headed stepchild of Major League Baseball. Four Teams? And one of them is in Texas? That's almost as ridiculous as the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds being in the NL West for a quarter century. What's worse is that only two of the four teams really appear to be trying: the Oakland A's and the LA Angels. The Seattle Mariners aren't going to be much better than last year's debacle, and the Texas Rangers just can't seem to find the pitching to complement a usually powerful offense. The A's were not a bad team last year; the Angels were just really good. That may change this year, though.
I'd love to see Seattle back in the playoff hunt because of one guy: Ken Griffey, Jr. No one deserves a World Series appearance like this guy, and to have it happen as a member of the Mariners would make it a story that writes itself.
What I think will happen:
1. A's – I think GM Billy Beane has once again made just the right moves to put this team back on top. Matt Holliday and Jason Giambi should boost the offense, and Orlando Cabrera will help stabilize the defense. They have a young rotation once again, but in a weak division it may not matter.
2. Angels – They're going to miss Mark Texiera and Francisco Rodriguez, but now it looks like top-end starters John Lackey and Ervin Santana may have injury concerns as well. That could be enough to keep a third straight division title out of reach.
3. Mariners – May see dividends from the intangibles expected with the return of Ken Griffey, Jr.–large home crowds, mentoring for young players, etc.–but even .500 might be a stretch.
4. Rangers – Need a miracle. And a pitching staff.
The AL Central is probably going to be the most balanced division in baseball this season. No team is a clear favorite, and no team looks like a sure-fire dud either. The Detroit Tigers can't possibly be as bad as they were last year. The Kansas City Royals may finally have a rebuild worth seeing to completion, and the Cleveland Indians might have the best pitching staff in the division. The Minnesota Twins are a sure bet to be in the mix like always, and if the Chicago White Sox can get big contributions from their youngsters they could surprise everyone in this tight race.
I'd love to see the White Sox pull this one out again. They might need to make a move to get a little younger and a little faster for it to happen, though. Jermaine Dye, Paul Konerko, Jim Thome, and AJ Pierzynski can swing the lumber, but they're not exactly OBP machines. And, in a division where all the teams could be bunched up at or above .500, you need to play the whole game to be able to win.
What I think will happen:
1. Indians – Pitching wins championships, and Cleveland has a ton of it. Of course, everyone has to stay healthy, but that's true of all teams. Big contributions from Anthony Reyes, Carl Pavano, and Kerry Wood are essential to the Indians' success.
2. Tigers – A lot of people (including myself) picked Detroit to run away with this division last season, and they ended up dead last. It wasn't the coaching…manager Jim Leyland is one of the best in the business. So that leaves one of two things: talent or attitude. Well, they had a lot of talented guys last season, a lot of whom are back for 2009, so…yeah. Get it together, boys.
3. White Sox – To go along with their aforementioned offensive issues, the South Siders have questions in their rotation. Mark Buerhle, John Danks, and Gavin Floyd should be OK; beyond that things get dicey. But GM Kenny Williams has proven himself a pretty smart guy, and I can't count out a team managed by Ozzie Guillen. The White Sox are my dark horse pick to come out on top.
4. Twins – Dark horse pick 1-A to win. Minnesota simply cannot be counted out of this race. The glaring problems they have is with the backs of two guys named Joe. Star catcher Joe Mauer has a back injury that will have him starting the season on the DL, and new third baseman Joe Crede has a history of back injuries. Those are big holes to fill if these two can't stay healthy.
5. Royals – From the Starting To Come Around file, the Royals can sniff .500 if their rotation holds up, Joakim Soria closes like a stud again, and the offense is steady. In a division with such parity, they just have to concentrate on winning series and they'll be pesky.
The AL East is a ridiculous juggernaut flush with just as much money as talent. I expect two playoff teams and the AL World Series representative to come out of this division. The New York Yankees reloaded with several top free agents but somehow trimmed payroll. The Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays will have legitimate shots at winning this division as well; the Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles will not. It would not surprise me at all to have three teams within five games of the division lead most of the year. Which means the division championship is pretty much up for grabs.
I would love to see the Tampa Bay Rays win the AL East again. Last season made it easy for Rays fans to forget the previous 10 years of terrible, terrible baseball. The team earned their success; they didn't buy it or luck into it. How can you not root for a team like that?
What I think will happen:
1. Yankees – Sabathia, Burnett, Wang…that competes with the top three of any rotation in baseball, but injury concerns are there. Riviera…the closer of the decade, but injury concerns are there. Texiera, Damon, Rodriguez, Jeter, Posada…a steady (if not borderline explosive) lineup, but injury concerns are there. On paper and sans injuries, the Yankees have one of the best teams in the league…
2. Red Sox – …but so do the Red Sox. And what they might have going for them over the Yankees is their youth. With that said, the Sox also need big, healthy years from veterans Mike Lowell, Jason Varitek, David Ortiz, and JD Drew if they're going to overtake the Yankees and…
3. Rays – …this team, who added some veteran presence in Pat Burrell and Jason Isringhausen (once he's rehabbed from offseason surgery) to go with their young core. They'll pitch well, they'll hit, they'll run, and they'll play defense. This team proved last year they can beat their big purse rivals to the north, and they're likely do it again this year.
4. Orioles – Baltimore will do one thing well this season: play defense. Cesar Izturis and Brian Roberts are among the best middle infield combos in baseball. Unfortunately, they won't have enough offense or pitching to compete with the big dogs in this division. But .500 isn't out of the question.
5. Blue Jays – Toronto is going the wrong way. This year, the only thing they'll be competing for is the #1 draft pick in 2010…which means they should probably trade Roy Halladay to try to get another 1st round pick and maybe a high-level prospect or two.
Agree? Disagree? Indifferent because you feel the National League is superior? Let's hear it!

Gamevil's follow-up to the beloved iPhone role-playing game Zenonia brings four new characters, ranged fighters Ekne and Morpice, and melee warriors Daza and Lu. Get to know them in their official bios.
Zenonia 2: The Lost Memory, in closed beta testing as you read this, features four characters, each falling into one of two categories, ranged and melee. The teenage paladin Lu and Warrior Daza will be at the forefront of battle, taking as good as they can get while magician Morpice and pistol-packing Ekne take up the rear.
I'm a little worried about ranged characters in a game controlled with a virtual joystick, which doesn't always work, but I am looking forward to getting my hands on all four of these new characters when Zenonia 2 hits the iPhone app store, hopefully later this month.

Wedge-tailed Eagle
The 'wedgie', soaring up to 2km high on thermal air currents, is one of the most impressive sights in the Australian sky, and at Healesville Sanctuary you have a chance to see these magnificent birds at close range.
Wedge-tailed eagles are classed as 'least concern' by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (on the IUCN 'red list'). The Tasmanian subspecies (Aquila audax fleayi) is listed as endangered by the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
Meeting the Wedge-tailed Eagles at Healesville Sanctuary is an important way to connect with the animals of Australia, and to learn about the Sanctuary's conservation programs, especially those aimed at conserving threatened native species. The money you spend helps to support the Sanctuary's conservation programs and its care of native wildlife as well as fight species extinction.
Wedge-tailed Eagles are Australia's largest raptor (bird of prey).
Threats to this species once included humans, who believed that they killed livestock. Many thousands of birds are thought to have been hunted and killed. It is now understood that they don't attack and kill healthy lambs. They are protected throughout Australia.
An adult Wedge-tailed Eagle has a wingspan of up to 2.5 metres. They weigh about 4kg.
Wedge-tailed Eagles hunt and eat small animals such as rabbits, feral cats, reptiles, small kangaroos, possums and foxes. They also eat road kill.
Wedge-tailed Eagles are seen over bush and open country throughout Australia.
An eagle pair 'mates for life' and shares nest ('eyrie') duties. They may have two eggs in a season but usually only one chick survives. The chicks are independent of their parents within 3 months of hatching.

Outspoken Republican actress Stacey Dash is interested in replacing Elisabeth Hasselbeck when Hasselbeck exits from hit morning show "The View."
The "Clueless" actress, who has won fans and enemies for her conservative views, has joined Whoopi Goldberg and Barbara Walters as a guest presenter on the magazine show in the past and she is keen to become a permanent fixture now that fellow Republican Hasselbeck has quit.
The former "Survivor" contestant ended her decade on "The View" on Wednesday after announcing she would be joining Fox news show "Fox & Friends" later this year, and Dash, who was a guest on "Access Hollywood Live" as Hasselbeck's big announcement went live, immediately revealed she would be interested in replacing her.
Dash said, "I find it fascinating."

Is This Depression/Dysthymia?
i feel empty, numb, i have no energy do to anything, i can`t enjoy anything, in fact i can`t feel anything… i had before moments when i felt sad, but now i don`t even feel that… i just feel nothing. when i was little i had some kind of energy, little comparing to other kids, but at least i had moments when i enjoyed playing, drawing, watching tv, or talking with others. now i have no passions, no pleasurable activities, just nothing. i feel so tired, exhausted, i just want to stay in bed without moving, and i wish someday i will fall asleep and never wake up. because life seems meaningless. i don`t feel SAD, but i just feel nothing….is this depression? would talking to a psychologist be helpful? i`m feeling like i have no reason to talk to one, cause i don`t feel sad. i just feel nothing…
my general physician said it might be anemia or something, but my blood tests were right. yet i still feel the same
the thing is it happens that sometimes i get through phases when i feel down and i`m suicidal (i never tried to commit suicide but honestly must say i`ve projected in mind myself doing it ) …but i must say most of the time i feel like this. i never have too much energy (only if i don`t get sleep 24-32 hours, i`m a little euphoric, but otherwise it never happens to me) i`m just empty, without energy and exhausted
You describe many of the features of clinical depression. Your next step is to go back to your doctor and ask for either medication for depression or a referral for psychotherapy for depression, or both. While waiting, you can learn more about depression and its treatment at various websites.
Begin with the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance website http://www.dbsalliance.org/ and www.depressioncenter.org/depression_treatments/
The more you know about your illness, the more effectively you will recover and prevent relapsing in the future.

When I was reading I felt like I never wanted to stop. I wondered what it would be like going from the 1840?s to the 1990?s. This wasn?t a book like any other book I?ve ever read. Every chapter kind of left you hanging. Like, she would be stuck in a sticky situation. My favorite part was when Jessie first got into the real world. It was my favorite part because she didn?t know what anything was. She didn?t know what cars were and she had never seen an electric light. She called cars big metal boxes with wheels.
I would recommend this book. I would recommend this book because it?s very suspenseful and exciting. I would recommend this book to girls in middle school. Mostly to 6th grade girls. Because Jessie was 13 years old and that?s how old most 6th graders are.

|OKLAHOMA'S eGOV NEWS REPORT
Welcome to Oklahoma's eGovernment News Report. We hope you enjoy the monthly report providing you with up-to-date information on Oklahoma's eGovernment achievements.
Oklahoma eGov News
OKLAHOMA CITY – January 9, 2013 - MarCom Awards recently announced winners for the 2012 international awards competition that recognizes outstanding creative achievement by marketing and communication professionals. Mary Fallin's official website, http://www.Governor.OK.gov received a Gold Award in the Website/Government category. OK.gov, Oklahoma's official website, received a Gold Award in the Design (Web)/Website Home Page category.
The Gold Award is presented to those entries judged to exceed the high standards of the industry norm. Approximately 18 percent of the 6,000 entries from throughout the United States, Canada and several other countries were Gold Winners.
Senate Launches New Appropriations Website; Adds Additional Technology for Greater Transparency
With budget review hearings slated to begin next week and the 2013 Legislative Session right around the corner, the State Senate on Friday announced a new website dedicated to giving members of the public and the press instantaneous access to the research materials and other presentations Senators will use as they develop the Fiscal 2014 budget.
Senate Appropriations Chairman Clark Jolley said the addition of the webpage and a larger monitor in 419-C, the conference room where Senate Appropriations meetings are held, represented a tremendous leap forward in providing timely, detailed information about the budget process.
"These enhanced services will actually be available next week when we start our 2013 Performance hearings, one of the first steps in the budget process," said Jolley, R-Edmond. "These advancements are actually going to make it easier for our members and the public to access information, and make it easier for us to track, access and archive these materials."
The Senate Appropriations website is http://appropriations.oksenate.gov/. It can also be accessed through the Senate's homepage at www.oksenate.gov. Those logging on can watch streaming video of budget meetings while viewing reports, copies of bills and votes.
How to Fix Bad Agency Websites
For an end user, a poorly designed federal website can waste time and test patience. For the agency behind that site, usability problems can quickly drain dollars from budgets.
The General Services Administration's First Fridays usability testing program detailed the most common dot-gov website fails of 2012 in a blog post penned by program manager Jonathan Rubin. Among them: Poor navigation labels, lack of contact information, unclear purpose and hard-to-find important content.
Costs for such common mistakes can compound quickly in any space.
"If a design is not working, there are real costs in adjustments to a design and implementing it," said Eric Gundersen, CEO of MapBox and co-founder of Development Seed, a Washington, D.C.-based firm that has worked with a number of federal agencies. "Designing smart at first is important, but you've got to watch how people actually use your site."

The Best Literary Quotes Ever Tattooed
You know the feeling — you read a phrase in a favorite book, and its as if it has been inked permanently on your mind. Of course, some people choose to literally ink odes to their favorite books on their bodies, whether inspired by children's books or by some of the incredible turns of phrase below, which we've chosen for their resonance as well as their beauty. And as you probably know, the web overfloweth with literary tattoos, particularly literary quote tattoos — and certain books tend to spark more tattoos than others — so we've simply chosen our favorites here.

MORROW, Ga. - The Peach Belt Conference (PBC) announced the 2009 women's tennis all-conference team last night (April 17) at a banquet at Clayton State University, host of the PBC Championships. Georgia College & State University had one player make the squad.
The Bobcats' Marjorie Ceppo (Sao Paulo, Brazil) made the All-PBC Second Team. This is the second year in a row that a Bobcat has made the All-Conference squad as Celine Martin was named to the team last year. The All-PBC honor is also the second in Ceppo's career, as she was selected all-conference in doubles for teaming with Martin in 2007.
Ranked No. 47 in the nation, Ceppo went 9-8 in singles action in 2008, including a 5-5 PBC mark, all at first singles. She finished strong, going 6-4 in her final 10 matches of the regular season.
The all-conference team was expanded this year and with double the number of award winners split into a first and second team. In all, 25 women's tennis players were honored due to a tie for the final spot in second team singles. The team was selected by the league's head coaches who were not permitted to vote for their own players.
The Bobcats toppled Georgia Southwestern Friday, and advance to the second round to square off against No. 3-seed and national No. 8 Francis Marion University today, April 18 at 11:30 a.m.

It was daylight before most people became aware of the extent of the flooding at the 700+ acre Texas Medical Center (TMC) complex in Houston, made up of more than 100 buildings, including 13 hospitals, two specialty institutions, two medical schools, four nursing schools, and schools in various health-related professions. However, Pico Mina, vice president and chief facilities officer at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHSCH), knew much sooner. He'd been listening to the rain from Tropical Storm Allison all night when his phone rang at 3 a.m. on June 9, 2001, to confirm his fear: UTHSCH's nine-story, 1 million-sq-ft medical school building's basement was flooded. Memorial Hermann Hospital next door had lost power, and its basement was also under water. About 30,000 research animals, housed in the basement of Baylor College of Medicine, had drowned. St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital, the Texas Heart Institute, and Methodist Hospital had suffered similar losses. Researchers saw years worth of work wiped out, including lab animals, computer data, lost records, and tissue samples. Due to the rarity of its devastation, meteorologists characterized the aftermath of Allison as a "1,000-year flood" rather than the standard 100-year flood architects and engineers typically design buildings to withstand.
As torrential rain overflowed the city's bayous and backed up storm sewers almost instantaneously, the streets of Houston turned into rivers. The deluge hit TMC particularly hard, as flooding filled underground parking garages, the underground tunnel system that connects many of the facilities, and basements housing critical power supplies, transformers, generators, switches, and other electrical equipment. Allison's wrath would soon bring new meaning to the term emergency repair work.
It happened more than a year ago, yet the images are still exceptionally clear to those who lived through that unforgettable week. Categorized as the costliest tropical storm in U.S. history, Allison parked itself over southeast Texas from June 5-9, 2001, dumping more than 3 ft of rain (almost 30 in. of which fell over a 48-hr period) on the Houston metro area. The storm stats are startling. Allison left 22 dead and caused almost $5 billion in damage to Harris County alone. In response to the devastation, President Bush declared 28 counties in southeast Texas a federal disaster area. Nineteen more people lost their lives as the storm made its way from the Gulf of Mexico along the southern United States up the East Coast and finally out to sea.
Discovering the disaster
Once Mina could physically get to his facility, he, along with Kent Cavender, director of physical safety, and Mani Palani, director of engineering, quickly established two priorities: maintain emergency power to preserve as much refrigerated research material as possible and pump out the water.
Meanwhile, UT's medical staff was forced to improvise without electricity, air conditioning, or running water. Without a flashlight, Dr. Annie Philip, M.D., felt her way through the darkness at Memorial Hermann Hospital, searching for a pressure bag she could use to push intravenous fluids into a critically ill patient. Dr. Jose Garcia, M.D., had already been on call for 10 hours when the lights went out. An associate professor of pediatrics at UT-Houston, Garcia raced to keep nearly 80 critically ill infants breathing and warm. Philip and Garcia were among hundreds of health-care professionals and volunteers who worked around the clock to care for patients after water flooded parts of the hospital, crippling the conveniences of modern medicine.
"I have lived through hurricanes in Galveston and other floods in Houston but have never in my life been through anything like this," says Dr. Kim Connelly Smith, M.D., an associate professor of pediatrics. "The drama was beyond imagination. We hand-ventilated patients for more than 12 hours while awaiting transport, carried them down 10 flights of stairs on backboards, and loaded them onto Black Hawk Army helicopters."
The water quickly paralyzed TMC, forcing it to close and evacuate many facilities. Total institution losses for UT-Houston and its clinical affiliates (St. Luke's Hospital, Hermann Hospital, and the Texas Heart Institute) totaled $745.5 million—only 30% of which were covered by insurance.
Within six hours, Hermann Hospital staff had successfully evacuated 540 patients. Mina's challenge would prove to take much longer. After four days of round-the-clock pumping, his staff had vacuumed more than 10 million gallons of water, which reached a depth of 22 ft, from the medical school building. His department immediately began damage assessment and secured emergency power generation and ventilation equipment to restore vital building systems.
Assessing the damage
When Danny Colwell's pager went off on June 10, he knew it wasn't a typical service call. An electrical contractor who also runs a GE Zenith Controls service and warranty repair center, Colwell, president of Colwell Electric in Houston, had existing contracts with some of the facilities. This call came from the staff at Hermann Hospital, asking him to inspect their GE Zenith Controls ATS switches. But he would have to wait five days for the water to recede and debris to be cleared before his staff could assess the damage as well as get safety clearance, given the biohazards involved.
Once environmental health and safety teams had performed all of the necessary safety tests, including air and water sampling, construction crews were allowed in. But they didn't enter without hesitation, recalls Ken Hodges, president of Houston-based Texan Electric. As the prime electrical contractor for the flood recovery project, Texan Electric powered up distribution panels from generators brought in from off-site. This work escalated into much more, however, so he deployed himself, two project managers, and approximately 25 electricians to the jobsite.
"Think about going down into a basement that's been under water for days in July in Houston, with no ventilation," says Hodges. "The humidity is 120%. You're in a plastic suit, facemask, hard hat, and rubber gloves, and you have to perform really intricate work. It was extreme."
Many of the contractors described what they saw as a war zone. "It was unbelievable. Switches, generators, and transfer switches—all underwater," says Colwell, thinking back to the scene in Hermann Hospital's basement. "It's one of those things you see on TV, and you know it's bad. But it's nothing like going down into these basements where you've worked for years to find everything in ruins. You just shake your head and think, 'How are we going to get this working?' It's the worst thing I've ever seen."
Most equipment was permanently damaged; some could be salvaged. Colwell remembers the original goal of getting the hospital back up and running by the following weekend. That plan quickly went away. "We started pulling the guts out of our transfer switches and brought them to our office and ordered $100,000 worth of parts to try and start fixing these things so we could get them back up that week," he says. "But it was just impossible. I know you have a hospital with thousands of patients that have been moved, but it just can't be done."
Carter & Burgess, a national design, management, and operations consulting firm with a full-service office in Houston, was hired as an electrical engineering technical resource to the facilities operations department of UTHSCH to expedite restoration of electrical power to the medical school building. According to the firm, the following systems were not operational at the time of the first walk through: electrical power, emergency electrical power, HVAC, laboratory and fume hood exhaust systems, domestic cold and hot water, compressed air and vacuum systems, fire detection and suppression systems, and basement sanitary and storm sewer systems. The basement contained the incoming service from Houston Light and Power (5kV) as well as several unit substations along with motor control centers, distribution panels, and transformers.
Flood remediation
The facility operations staff, engineering, and environmental health and safety crews worked 14- to 16-hour days without a day off for several weeks. Vacuuming out the water was just the beginning. Crews also had to restore power, pump in dry air to inhibit the growth of potentially dangerous mold, sort through the debris, salvage as much as possible, and inspect the building's structure. This was especially important because the force of the floodwater was so strong that it destroyed part of the wall between the medical school building and Memorial Hermann's basements. Not only was time of the essence from a patient care and research standpoint, but school was also starting in August.
As a first step to restore power to the facility, Thomas Roberts, electrical engineer in the energy and engineering services division of facility operations at UTHSCH, remembers having problems with standby power. The facility had one 600kW diesel generator at ground level on an elevated pad that really wasn't affected by the storm water. However, the automatic transfer switch and some associated distribution equipment were located in the basement. To fix this problem, Roberts disconnected the supply that went down into the basement and ran some temporary power from that generator into the building adjacent to the generator. He also ran some temporary power cables up the stairwell of the medical school building to the second floor where they could connect into the system.
Upon Carter & Burgess' recommendation, all damaged equipment was removed, disassembled, inspected, and tested, and then reassembled, reinstalled, or replaced. With Texan Electric handling all electrical concerns and Carter & Burgess offering electrical engineering consultation, Roberts hired Cutler-Hammer Engineering Services to remanufacture the main 4,160V service equipment and ECP Tech Services to repair the 480V unit substations.
After his first site visit, Roberts determined the main service gear could be refurbished as far as the enclosure and bussing were concerned. The primary gear would need all new switches and controls. The unit substations consisted of 5kV switches, transformers, and secondary gear. Texan Electric cleaned and tested all equipment and installed new switches, breakers, controls, and gauges where necessary. They considered the remainder of equipment to be beyond repair, so they replaced distribution panels, transformers, and low-voltage panels. Hi-pot testing revealed that the 5kV feeder cable was unreliable, so they pulled out and replaced, tested, and terminated all the cable that was connected to any equipment in the basement. They also tested and replaced most of the 600V feeder and branch wiring.
Because half of UT's gear was located in the penthouse, the first objective was getting the main service back on, explains Hodges. "We had to repull all of the cable to the penthouse because it's 5,000V cable that was underwater so you just don't reuse it," he says. Working with Cutler-Hammer, Hodges and his crew took apart the main service gear, sent parts out to be repaired, cleaned, or replaced, and actually remanufactured the gear on-site.
Michael Miller, Bud Griffin & Associates, GE Zenith Controls manufacturer's rep for South Texas in Houston, says manufacturers delivered some of the fastest response time to orders he's ever seen. For example, Hermann Hospital needed 48 switches; 22 of which were shipped out of stock immediately. The remainder came within two weeks. "Hospitals are priority one when it comes to disaster recovery," says Miller. "GE Zenith Controls properly prioritized whatever TMC needed, and product requirements were known throughout the company."
Power was restored to the building in less than three weeks, and most major utilities were restored to the undamaged floors in less than one month. Emergency electrical repairs in excess of $3 million were completed in less than six weeks.
Taking precautions
Despite the fact that no one can effectively plan for an onslaught of water like this (some reports estimated the water rose to almost 40 ft on Houston's Interstates 10 and 45), UT is making changes to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again. Riding out several hurricanes as facility operations and maintenance manager for Baylor College of Medicine years ago, Tim Koehn's been sitting on his client's side of the table for the better part of his career. Now a senior project manager for Cater & Burgess, Koehn says part of the problem with the Great Flood of 2001 can be linked to the increased retirement of experienced personnel. He remembers a similar flood that struck the medical center back in 1976 that caused comparable damage. After this, each institution embarked on its own efforts to install flood walls to help prevent such serious water damage again. "But a lot has happened between 1976 and 2001," says Koehn. "A lot of the people who knew where the weak points were, where the water came in, what generator flooded, what worked, and what didn't are gone. It's been so long since these institutions have seen that level of damage, and most of the people working for the facility now are not as tuned into these issues as their predecessors were 25 years ago."
That's why UTHSCH Engineering is working with FEMA to mitigate primary utility infrastructure, including relocating some of the major air handling units, the automatic transfer switch, the 5kV switchgear, unit substations, and other electrical equipment from the basement to the ground and second floors as well as taking steps to ensure the equipment and mechanical rooms in the basement are watertight. They plan to install watertight doors, seals, and panels on all the equipment they can.
"I think after this flood, everybody's rethinking the traditional philosophy of housing all of their electrical gear in the basement, even though it's the normal place to put it because the utilities and chilled water outlets come in underground," says Hodges. "The contingency plans are to start putting everything up so they will not have this problem again."
That's just Houston, says Koehn. "It's like the Harris County flood control guy says, 'Flood control in Houston is like throwing a cup of water on the middle of a pool table. It just doesn't go anywhere.' "
SIDEBAR: Restoring Power Against Impossible Odds
"It wasn't there, and then it was," recalls John Paschal, P. E., thinking back to that unforgettable day last summer when Tropical Storm Allison dumped almost 30 in. of rain over parts of Houston in a 48-hour period, flooding the basement of his 17-story office building with 9 ft of water. Senior Electrical Engineer for a Houston-based international firm and an Editorial Consultant for EC&M, Paschal tells a similar story to that of the medical center's. He and his coworkers had to get his facility back up and running fast, despite almost impossible odds. Although his building had come through a couple of previous hurricanes unscathed, Paschal says it probably only took about 5 seconds for a tidal wave to flow through the basement after water rose above a doorway in the loading dock area and caved in a 10-in.-thick CMU block wall.
From an emergency repair standpoint, Paschal and his co-workers faced almost complete devastation—all of the mechanical and electrical equipment was ruined. The basement housed the main switchgear, distribution switchgear, central plant with motor control center, and fire alarm system as well as an air compressor system for pneumatic controls, three chillers and associated chiller control panels, life safety switchgear with automatic transfer switch, manual transfer switch, panels for exit lights, egress lighting, exterior entrance lighting, and a host of water and sewer pumps. It also included several air handling units, the telephone service cables, and in-house data system service cables for the company's world wide hub. After working day and night, Paschal and his engineering team, the company's IT team and construction specialists, along with two outside contracting firms and 75 of the firm's electricians, got the facility back up by the end of the fifth day—three months earlier than the building across the street. How did they do it?
First they had to pump the water out and install temporary lighting. They brought in several diesel generators to bring power to the fifth floor cooling units and computer room. "Because heat was a big problem there, the IT team finally removed two exterior building windows and some perimeter glass walls to get some outside air flowing in after temperatures rose to above 120°F," explains Paschal. While continually wet-vacuuming the basement area, they basically had to gut the space by removing all sheetrock walls, ceiling tiles, ceiling grid, wall studs, and all room contents—this filled about three 20 ft x 12 ft x 7 ft Dumpsters every other hour for three days. They replaced all motors and most appliances, all circuit breakers and switches, the fire pump controller, all motor controllers, and all panelboards. Then they cleaned the main switchgear, and dried out all other electrical items. The team meggered all cables and replaced those that indicated "a short" after dry-out attempts. They realigned all motors and, after dry-out, replaced several main switchgear insulators to make the service equipment megger "clear." Paschal says just getting the service bus ducts to dry out was a three-day ordeal. They also had to get the air conditioning system back online while the existing chillers were still being renovated, so they brought in a 1,000-ton chiller and 1,500 kVA generator to drive it—operating on this chiller for three months until the permanent HVAC system could be brought back online.
But there were other stumbling blocks along the way that added to the nightmare. As the water immersed the mechanical equipment, oil from the gearboxes floated to the surface. As the revamp team pumped the water out, the oil and grease coated everything. "You talk about something slick. It was almost like walking on ice," Paschal says. He recalls another unexpected challenge. As the water entered the building, he says it seemed to pick up something that set up a galvanic action on all aluminum lugs, cables, bussing, and springs—destroying all electrical connections and bus surfaces.

Affresol house and garage.
Welsh company Affresol will launch a range of eco-friendly homes and modular portable buildings made from recycled plastic waste.
The homes will be constructed of a new, low-carbon building material developed by Affresol called Thermo Poly Rock (TPR). The material is made from recycled plastics and minerals using a patented process that converts the plastics into a compound that is stronger and lighter than concrete, waterproof, fire retardant, rot-resistant and has excellent insulation properties.
A home built using TPR contains approximately 18 tons of recycled plastic waste, while each modular home contains up to four tons. TPR homes can be up to 12 percent cheaper than standard build and can be erected on site within four days. The houses have an estimated lifecycle of more than 60 years, and the TPR elements are 100 percent recyclable. The first Pilot Affresol "TPR™" frame home has been erected in Swansea, Wales.
"Our management team and business partners believe there is tremendous potential for this new product particularly with the growing focus on carbon reduction, low energy affordable homes and sustainability," said Affresol Managing Director Ian McPherson. Ieuan Wyn Jones, minister for the Economy and Transport for the Welsh Assembly Government, said this innovative recycling technology developed in Wales illustrated the importance of companies investing in research and development.
Affresol forecasts building 3,000 homes per annum in its third year – recycling 40,000 tons of waste – with the main market being affordable public housing while its modular portable buildings can be used as classrooms, offices, showrooms, storage, and construction site offices.

EU Politicians Snub European Commission: Do Not See IP Protection As Key To Internal Security Strategy
from the ACTA-backfires dept
One of the most dishonest aspects of ACTA was its attempt to equate genuinely dangerous products like fake medicines with totally harmless ones like unauthorized digital copies. Fortunately, that's such an absurd equivalence that more and more people have voiced their concerns over it -- including the Liberals and Democrats in the European Parliament, who cited it as one reason why they would be voting against ACTA:
ACTA wrongly bundles together too many different types of IPR enforcement under the same umbrella, treating physical goods and digital services in the same way. We believe they should be approached in separate sectoral agreements, and following a comprehensive and democratically debated mandate and impact assessment.
EDRI points out that the European Commission has just suffered a major defeat at the hands of the European Parliament thanks to this lazy kind of coupling in its proposed "Internal Security Strategy" (ISS) for Europe:
In a piece of what the Commission appears to have believed to be a piece of masterful political syllogism, it explained in its Internal Security Strategy (adopted at the end of 2010) that dangerous counterfeit goods are a threat for human health. These counterfeiting offences are infringements of intellectual property rights (IPR). "Piracy" is also an infringement of intellectual proprety rights. Consequently, the fight against "counterfeiting and piracy" must be included in the EU's Internal Security Strategy.
But something that might have been simply waved through before ACTA has now been met with skepticism:
This is part of the wider strategy, as seen in ACTA, to treat all IPR as if it were the same, with dangerous medicines being considered as important as unauthorised downloading and vice versa. The obvious problem, as has become obvious in the ACTA, is that treating serious and trivial infringements as if they were of equal importance will inevitably result in either the serious infringement being treated as if it were trivial or vice versa.
The European Parliament, however, far more sensitive now to the questionable approach of the European Commission to intellectual property rights as a result of the ACTA discussions, recognised this crude attempt to push its so far unsuccessful approach to an even higher level of hysteria. Whatever else one can say about downloading a song without authorisation, the number of deaths that it is likely to cause is, we believe, comparatively low.
As a result, and by a huge majority, the members of the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the ISS that includes the following major slap-down for the European Commission:
...it does not appear fully justified or appropriate to take action in the field of the enforcement of intellectual property rights – a matter which is part of a specific in-depth debate – within the framework of the ISS;
That is a noteworthy refusal, and suggests that ACTA's attempt to lump online sharing with counterfeit medicines, and to make them subject to the same severe civil and even criminal sanctions, has backfired badly. It might be too much to take this ISS snub as an indication of what will happen when the European Parliament votes on ACTA later this summer, but it certainly suggests a new-found wariness in this area.

We had heard all day that the Jaguars were pushing to move up and draft Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon, and with the fifth overall pick, the Jaguars did just that.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers weren't able to move up and draft Trent Richardson, so instead the Bucs moved down, where the Jaguars were happy to move up from No. 7 to No. 5 and grab Blackmon. The Jaguars gave up a fourth-round draft pick to move up to the seventh overall pick in the first round.
Blackmon is an explosive playmaker at wide receiver who will give Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert exactly the kind of weapon he needs. Last year the Jaguars' top wide receiver was Mike Thomas, with 44 catches, and no other wide receiver in Jacksonville even had 30 catches. This year Blackmon will be counted on to step in and doing better than that as a rookie.
Jacksonville's offense needed a lot of help. It just got a big playmaker.


text: I have an 06 M35X with intermittent audio cut-out problem. My M35X has the DVD entertainment system. I've read that this is a known problem with the early Bose Multi Channel Amp. I'm looking for a replacement amp but having a difficult time finding the correct part number for the Multi Channel Bose Amp. The Bose Amps offered on eBay seem to be all over the place in describing whether they're 2 channel or multi channel amps. The 28061-EH11 Bose amp seems to come in A,B,C,D and E designations and span the 2006 - 2010 M35 and M45 models . They all appear to have the same 3 banks of multi-pin connectors but (as I stated) the descriptions seem to be all over the place to whether they are 2 channel or multi-channel amps. The official Infiniti parts site lists the 28061-EH100 as the correct amp under my VIN number but those amps (on eBay) are listed as 2 channel amps. Does anyone know the correct amp for this system? Are the A, B, C,D and E designations just upgrades or different model year designations for the multi channel Bose system? Like I stated they all appear to have the same three banks of multi-pin connectors. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I had a conversation about LeBron James with my grandmother at a cousin's wedding in Colorado this weekend. My Баба lives outside of Cleveland, and like all awesome old ladies she has strong opinions about sports. Our discussion turned to basketball and LeBron James's psyche.
"He doesn't care about that trophy. He just wants the ring."
That's actually a poignant statement when you think about it, and maybe it gives you some new subtext to the above image, run in a montage before last night's Game One Heat loss to the Thunder. LeBron has two kids but no rings, and it's odd that basketball is a sport where someone would be photographed caressing a trophy they haven't yet won. (Hockey, meanwhile, lets complete strangers molest the Stanley Cup, though I'd wager anyone who suspects they have a shot at ever winning it probably keeps hands off.)
