Three is a magic number! This update has a trio of male pulchritude, Adam Baer, Liam Corolla and Skyler Daniels. Shockingly neither lad has done a three way in any form.
"So this is a real first," the cameraman observes.
"You all are lucky," Liam says to the folks out there in BSB land.
He strongly hints how the scene should be rated. Highly of course.
Adam will play the bottom in the vignette, which sort of makes sense. His booty is just so round and perfect. You can make a meal out of it. However, isn't time for Liam to return to his natural position? Remember the joyful sob when Tim fucked him? As for Skyler, this will be his first time giving it to a guy.
"First time for everything," Skyler observes.
Clothes are removed (Adam is rather quick with the disrobing). Skyler sits on the couch, Liam takes a seat in front, and Adam stands over Liam. Adam's tool gets sucked first, Liam doing the work and Skyler pushing Liam's head. Skyler reaches around and strokes Liam off. Adam is appropriately excited, but it's hard not to be when Liam is working that sweet mouth. As for Liam, his pole is ready to cut some diamonds.
Skyler keeps looking up at Adam, and eventually gets noticed.
"All right," Adam says. "Now it's your turn."
He gets on the couch and puts his sausage in front of Skyler's face. Skyler opens his mouth and takes it in.
"Suck that dick," Adam orders.
Skyler does so, treating it like the treat it is. Poor Liam looks on and jerks off Skyler. But soon enough, he can't stay out of the action. Liam gets under the hose and licks the shaft.
"I want you to eat some ass," Adam commands Liam.
Adam gets on all fours, with Skyler in front of him. As Adam sucks Skyler off, Liam tongues that booty. He spits all over the hole, spreading Adam's pale cheeks. When there's enough lubrication, Liam saddles up and fills Adam up. The blond bottom would shout, but Skyler's snake is in his mouth. Liam slaps Adam's ass as he gets what's his. Adam isn't given any orders now. Just muffled cries.
Liam is balls deep, making certain Adam's special spot gets hit. Adam is trying to keep his attention on Skyler, but it's hard when you're being broken like a peach.
"Why don't you try fucking that hole," Liam wonders to Skyler.
Adam gets on his side. Skyler uses some lube and gets in.
"Feels good, don't it," Liam asks. "It's a great hole?"
"Oh, yeah," Skyler says.
He too is going balls deep. As for Adam, his other end is sucking off Liam. Adam's milky thighs have never looked better, spread apart and used like they should be. And he must be liking it because his bush beater is stiff.
Liam gets another shot, this time with Adam on his back. Adam looks like he's going to cry but Skyler's candy cane wipes away any tears. Liam picks up the speed and Adam's muffled moans get louder. His holes have never been stretched out like this.
"Oh, I'm about to cum," Adam whispers.
His juice coats one of his nipples and right after that Skyler loses all his cum on Adam's chest. Liam pulls out and jerks his load on Adam's pubes. There are tired high-fives at the end.

*This is seriously one of my favorite summer dishes so far! I was a little worried it would taste like salsa but it doesn't. All of my family loved it...even my teen son! It was extra delicious because i used home grown tomatoes, jalepenos, and basil. The rest of the ingredients I bought. I used all organic veggies to keep it as healthy as possible. I found it was even better the next day! Enjoy!!

Namibia needs artisans to develop
Namibian youth could through vocational and technical training be equipped with the requisite skills needed to make consumer goods locally and help the country reduce its import bill.
"Some Namibians go to faraway destinations beyond African borders to buy clothes and other good things. Why don't we make those goods here instead importing them?"
This is the question Freddy Nghiwewelekwa, one of the instructors at Valombola, asked when he addressed the opening of Valombola Vocational Training Centre (VVTC) yesterday.
Nghiwewelekwa said the high unemployment rate among Namibian youth is linked to the existing trend of undervaluing vocational training.
This, he says, is further exacerbated by the tendency to export raw materials in raw form to other countries, where these are used to create jobs and wealth.
Like many others, he suggested Namibia should add value to its mineral and other resources and in this way create jobs and wealth.
He also noted that oftentimes big construction projects are being done by foreign firms that employ ordinary handymen like those who deliver bricks and mortar by pushing wheelbarrows.
"These workers earn little from their labour while a huge chunk of the income from that big project goes to foreign countries," he said.
Nghiwewelekwa reiterated that through vocational training Namibia could educate and upskill its youth, thus reducing the import bill.
Speaking on the value and worth of vocational education, Nghiwewelekwa was passionate about equipping the trainees well to enable them to make goods that people in Namibia can buy, instead of having to importing these.
"With intensified vocational training Namibia will soon be able to have its own experts also working in other countries on big projects and in that way send foreign earnings home. Namibia will be one of those countries that will export experts to other lands, instead of it importing expertise, as is the case now," he emphasised.
Nghiwewelekwa believes vocational skills training graduates often do not go into the market as jobseekers, but as job creators, who will employ others and in that way help broaden the tax base from which government earns revenue to further develop the country.
Nghiwewelekwa encouraged the vocational trainees, who packed the Sam Nujoma Multi-purpose Centre in Ongwediva during the official opening, to work hard and know that with vocational training they can realise everything they dreamed of.
"Do not relent in facing the challenge of finishing your training. What is expected from you is hard work and dedication. Remember, the trainers will guide you through their professional expertise, but it is your responsibility to assimilate and understand what they teach as much as possible," Nghiwewelekwa encouraged the trainees.
Among the youth New Era spoke to on the day three young women who are pursuing plumbing and pipefitting studies, said the days of regarding vocational training as a dumping place for the underpriviledged are gone.
Also gone are the days when VTC training was a domain of men. 'I'm here doing level one in plumbing and pipefitting, so that when I'm done I'll be able to start my own company that will deliver services to the community and employ others," enthused Justina Shilongo.
Hilja Amutenya and Dortea Iita concurred with Shilongo and encouraged other youth, especially women, to enrol for vocational skills training.
Valombola Vocational Training Centre is home to about 1,000 would-be artisans composed of an almost equal number of men and women, but it appears as if more women are enrolling for vocational training than men.

HNB Jaffna Green Building recognized at Energy Efficiency Awards
Mr Piyal Hennayake, Deputy General Manager - Services, HNB accepting the award from Hon Prime Minister, D M Jayarathne.
Hatton National Bank's (HNB) Jaffna Green Building, the state of the art bank building which maximizes resource efficiency, won the 'Silver Flame Award' in the Medium Scale Commercial Buildings category at the prestigious Sri Lanka National Energy Efficiency Awards (SLNEEA) 2014 held at BMICH recently.
This is the fourth consecutive year that HNB has been recognized for energy efficient buildings with HNB Towers, Nittambuwa and Kalmunai buildings rewarded in 2011, 2012 & 2013 respectively.
HNB Jaffna Green Building, commissioned in May 2013, accommodates Jaffna Metro Customer Centre, Northern Regional office, a private banking floor and a fully equipped training centre. It set several precedents in the Northern Province as the first building to employ integrated sustainable services monitored by a BMS system, the first building to have a state of the art 260 seat auditorium and the first building to have elevated gardens along with a solar sensitive automated louvre system.
Architecturally, the landmark building established a new post-war regional architecture trend which went beyond the Dravidian architectural style popular in Jaffna by carefully conserving the spatial characteristics of local domestic architecture but moving forward with an ultra modern design on par with any building in the western world.
The double screen on the eastern and western sides of the building reflect glare and excess sunlight while the thick vegetation of vertical landscaping filters polluted air. The Chill water Central Air Conditioning System consists of a high efficiency water cool chiller connected with variable temperature and variable water flow while chill water piping system and air side includes pressure independent variable air volume (VAV) terminal boxes.
Furthermore, a sophisticated solar shading system enables the building to react to changes in the weather and the sun's position to optimize the flows of heat and light through the façade. This, in turn, reduces heat gain and glare and enhances the use of natural daylight, reducing the building's operating costs.
A 15kVA Roof mounted solar PV system with net metering facility generates 1,800 kWh of electricity and as a result electricity consumption in the building has been reduced by 15%. A separate overhead tank which collects rain water from the roof is made use of to water the plants while waste water is also treated and used for the same purpose.
SLNEEA is an annual event conducted by Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority of Ministry of Environment and Renewable Energy and the awards are given in recognition of contribution to reduce energy usage through energy management efforts.
Hatton National Bank is a premier private sector commercial bank with a network of 250 customer centres spread across the length and breadth of Sri Lanka and caters to all segments of the market through its diverse product and service offering. The Bank is also involved in insurance and capital market operations in the country through its group companies. During 2013, HNB's asset book surpassed Rs 500 Bn, while the Bank recorded a pre-tax profit of over Rs.10Bn for the year. Hatton National Bank has been awarded by the Asian Banker Magazine as the 'Best Retail Bank in Sri Lanka' for six consecutive years for its performance from 2007 to 2012 and named as the 'Bank of the Year in Sri Lanka' for the year 2012 & 2013 by the Banker Magazine of UK. In 2012 HNB became the first Sri Lankan bank to obtain an international credit rating and was assigned a foreign currency issuer rating of B1 on par with the sovereign rating by Moody's Investors Service, while it has a national long term rating of AA- (lka) by Fitch Ratings (Lanka) Ltd

Ben Sherman
Acquired hard assets globally to support Marquee Brands' acquisition of the brand and supported the transformation to a licensed platform.
Marquee Brands acquired the iconic Ben Sherman brand with the intent to transform the struggling business operations into an efficient licensing model.
Gordon Brothers stepped in to facilitate the transition and in a back to back transaction acquired all the operating assets while Marquee acquired the global intellectual property rights. We funded and operated the global wholesale business, stores and concessions, and over time, orderly transitioned these to new licensee ownership through a UK administration. Locations surplus to requirements were ultimately closed and lease obligations mitigated.
The process enabled Marquee to restore Ben Sherman to a distinctive lifestyle brand with world-class licensee partners.

i want to force a password change for a user. therefor i set pwdreset: true but to change the password, bind attempts are still allowed. i thinks thats the reason why a user with pwdreset=true still can login to an apache webresource which is protected with ldap authentication. is there a way to prohibit that? i want the user to only allow the password change.
Strictly speaking: In case of pwdreset=TRUE the LDAP client has to 1. request and process the ppolicy controls and 2. lead the user to the password change dialogue. Most LDAP clients are not capable of doing so.
So if you simply want to avoid that such a user can login to such a service you could either
1. configure a client side search filter (&(uid=<user-id>)(!(pwdreset=TRUE))) or2. define a server-side ACL which disallows even authc access to userPassword for for those LDAP clients.

I was an academic overachiever. I thoroughly and sincerely enjoyed Saturday trips to the library with my family. Summer School Honors Chemistry–challenge accepted. In the 7th grade, I got a perfect 4.0 GPA. All A's, all 4 nine weeks. My father used to carry a copy of that report card in his wallet. So, early on, I knew what it was like to achieve and be celebrated. The problem was, I tied that to being loved. None of it was my family's doing. They have always adored me, unconditionally, and have shown it with pride. I was young, school was all I had and I just didn't know that I didn't have to be perfect. This idea of perfection was reified by teachers, school professionals, and other students too–in both good and bad ways. Growing up in diverse Miami, I had an early understanding of social structures (racism, sexism, classism, the like), and how they affected me. I incurred what we know as the Black Woman Tax. I think now you have to work 7 times as hard, I gotta google it.
Either way, I was a perfectionist. Sometimes it took me to the promised land. Sometimes I crashed and burned. Every time, it drove me a little insane. Perfectionism was like a hangover. I'd vow, "Never again!" I had to take on less the next time, try not to please so many people the next time, not have to get every.single.part.of.my.job.perfectly.right the next time. And then the next time would come and…you can imagine how this has gone.
Fast-forward to getting my heart broken (it had to happen. I'm not perfect, after all) and having to learn that truly being loved has nothing to do with what or how much I do, but with who I am, and that truly loving a person means being willing to sacrifice almost everything for their wellbeing, while still being yourself. My relationship wasn't working out–again. Whether I liked it or not, I had to embrace that failure. I had to risk embarrassment and loneliness. I had reject that perfectionism for the sake of my heart and sanity. And so it was.
My heart's nowhere near perfect now. And I am, in fact, struggling with the things that I feared. What I am not struggling with; however, is whether I am worthy of love. I definitely answered that question many months ago. So, I've decided to drop the act. I don't have to achieve or conquer another thing and I'm no longer trying to please everyone. I'm also not overcompensating anymore. Not for my past or for who I am.
Life constantly teaches us how to live it. We learn from our mistakes. We do better when we know better. Perfectionism has taken me places but not as far as honesty, passion and good old confidence. I'm embracing all the parts of me. All worthy of love.

text: October 21, 2016 by geoffreymkeyte The Battle for Mosul Begins The battle for Mosul begins Christians in Iraq are asking for prayer as the battle for Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul, intensifies. A local Open Doors contact told us: "A coalition of Kurdish and Iraqi forces, backed by international allied forces, aims to recapture the city – the last major stronghold of the so-called Islamic State (IS) in Iraq, and with it all of the Nineveh plain in Iraq. "The thousands of displaced Christians in Erbil are very excited… Most Christians in Erbil are now glued to their televisions, phones and computer screens, trying to get all the latest updates on the battle and on the status of their villages. They hope and they pray that they will be able to return to their houses, once the situation is safe." Open Doors partners are supporting 15,000 displaced families in Iraq every month with vital relief aid and long-term support, thanks to the prayerful generosity of our supporters. When asked how the battle for Mosul might affect their work, an Open Doors coordinator told us: "For now, the battle will not impact our work directly. In Erbil things have not changed because of the situation: Christians are still displaced and are still uncertain about their future. "It is expected that most Christians will wait for the entire Nineveh Plain to be completely safe and 'ISIS-free', before thinking about going back. Nobody knows how long it will take, but it now seems more likely to be a matter of months than of weeks." Open Doors partners are monitoring the situation and are planning how they will support displaced people to return to Mosul once it is safe for them to do so. You can pray, give and speak out for Christians in Iraq and Syria by joining the global Hope for the Middle East campaign. Please Pray: That Mosul would be liberated soon and that trapped civilians there would be protected For God to shield and protect Christians living near or on the front lines of battle For energy and resilience for Open Doors partners as they continue to support displaced Iraqis. Over 20 Chibok girls return home: thank you for your prayers! Thank you for praying for the Chibok schoolgirls who were taken captive by Boko Haram militants in Nigeria in 2014. We are delighted to report that, two-and-a-half years later, 21 of the over 200 abducted schoolgirls have been reunited with their families after successful negotiations. There were emotional scenes in the capital, Abuja, when the girls were reunited with their families. One parent said: "We thank God. I never thought I was going to see my daughter again but here she is… Those who are still out there – may God bring them back to be reunited with their parents." Open Doors partners have been making regular visits to the Chibok parents to encourage them and provide them with food, medicine and trauma care. "We thank all our supporters for the continued prayers for this situation over the past two and a half years," said Open Doors' team leader in Nigeria. "Our eyes are still on God for the release of the rest of them." Please pray: Thank the Lord for the return of these girls and pray that they would be fully cared for That God's power and grace would be at work among the girls who remain in captivity and their captors That the rest of the girls would be freed soon and that the Lord would comfort their families. With many thanks for your prayers, Lisa Pearce CEO Open Doors UK & Ireland ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With many peaceful blessings Geoffrey Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading...

Thank you for visiting this site, We are sad to report that Utilimetrics, the premier utility technology association, was dissolved in late 2012. It provided advocacy for utilities and information about innovative technologies that led to improved operations, customer service, and resource utilization. The association represented hundreds of utilities, technology manufacturers and consultants throughout the world.
Utilimetrics provided a unique exchange between members and interested parties to address smart grid/smart meter issues. The group brought together the diverse stakeholders of electricity, water and gas distribution utilities and their partners to promote and share best practices for innovative metering, communications, utility automation, and data management. Besides the organizations presence on social media, Utilimetrics produced an annual global conference and exposition called Autovation featuring the latest technology, products and services as well as world class education and networking.

This Sunday is Slappy's 27th (gasp!) birthday.
I know what you're all thinking.
What an old man What can WE get for him? (shut up and pretend like you were thinking that).
I have just the thing.
Each year on March 18th, people all around the country shave their heads in a wonderful fundraising campaign for childhood cancer research called St. Baldrick's Day. This year, my husband will be one of the head shavees.
That's right, he's going bald (much to his mother's dismay by the way).
St. Baldrick's Day is much more than just head shaving, it's a party. The children in the oncology wards often come to the event, sometimes they even get to help with the shaving (which seems really unsafe, but hey, it's not my head) and most importantly, they forget for a while about the tragic and terrifying diseases that plague them.
You're probably wondering what this has to do with Slappy's birthday huh? (so technically nothing, but bear with me)
Well, he's not just shaving his head, he's raising money first. If he reaches his goal of $500, he will shave his head. (So technically he's totally doing it either way, but this way makes it seem more important)
So far I am donating $105 from my tax return (So technically this is bet money that I owe him and he decided this would be a much better place for me to give it, and also? Don't make 100 dollar bets.) and Slappy is matching it. That puts him at $210 (you're welcome for the math).
Here's where it all comes together. As a nice way to honor Slappy's birth and as an even better way to donate to an incredibly crucial cause, I'm hoping some of you will be willing to contribute to his fundraising page and help him reach or exceed his goal. You don't have to give a lot. I know we're in a time of financial hell. Even 5 dollars helps, and there's no minimum donation amount. And if Slappy gets to his $500 early, there's no need to stop donating. Exceeding goals is a good thing.
If you're interested in donating all you have to do is leave you email address in the comments section OF THIS POST and I will email all of you the link to donate. Or send me an email at: firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll get the information out to you. (I'm not directly linking his page here because that's a little too public with the names, etc, and this way I can control who sees that information, etc. Yes, I am a victim of identity theft, why do you ask?)
I'll post periodic updates about his total raised as we get closer to the day and I will put some sort of device on the sidebar of the blog to link to this post and the St. Baldrick's Foundation. Slappy has also eluded to a deal where if his donation goal is met or exceeded you might get a picture of his beautiful baldness, but that remains to be seen.
So, now do you see what shaving heads and Slappy's birthday have in common?
Yea, me neither. Leave a comment and donate anyways.

I am a cancer cause fanatic, and will do anything to raise money for cancer research (well other than shave my head - although todays hair day may warrant a change in plan!).
I will donate - I can't donate much, but anything to ensure Slappy shaves his head for kids!!!

Like the shampoo in the same range, Eucerin DermoCapillaire Calming Urea Scalp Treatment contains a combination of urea, lactate, and polidocanol to relieve itchiness and flakiness caused by dry skin conditions.
However, unlike the shampoo, this is a leave-in treatment that also contains liquorice extract for extra soothing action.
Dry and itchy scalp affects many people with a skin condition such as atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. In these cases, regular shampoos, conditioners, and soaps, can worsen dryness due to the colours, fragrances, and preservatives they contain that strip essential oils from the skin. It is important to use treatments that are free of irritants.
This scalp treatment blends the skin-replenishing ingredients of urea and lactic acid, which are both natural substances produced by the body, but which are often lacking in people with a skin condition. They help to regulate moisture levels, locking in water and preventing excessive dehydration of the skin. As these substances are replenished, the scalp is intensively moisturised and becomes smoother and less itchy.
At the same time, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of the liquorice extract protect skin cells against UV-radiation and sun-induced damage caused by free radicals. Together with the anaesthetic effect of the polidocanol, skin redness and inflammation is eased.
This non-sticky treatment is well tolerated, even on very dry and sensitive scalps, and can be used by children over 3-years old.
This scalp treatment can be used daily on wet or dry scalps. Apply it in the morning and evening, as necessary. It is best used in conjunction with a shampoo formulated for dry, itchy scalps.
Apply the liquid directly to the scalp, by separating the hair and exposing the scalp skin. Spread all over the scalp, but pay special attention to the driest areas. Use the tips of your fingers to massage the treatment gently into the scalp. Leave it in and style your hair as usual – do not rinse off.
Eucerin DermoCapillaire Calming Urea Scalp Treatment should be kept out of the reach and sight of children. When using, avoid contact with the eyes. It is designed for use on the scalp only.
If you are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients, find an alternative treatment. Should you experience a skin reaction on the scalp, stop using it and consult your doctor or pharmacist.
No known side effects exist with using Eucerin DermoCapillaire Calming Urea Scalp Treatment. There are no interactions reported with other medicines.
HelloSkin's experts were unable to find clinical evidence for the benefit of Eucerin DermoCapillaire Calming Urea Scalp Treatment in psoriasis. However, the product contains urea, lactic acid, glycerol and lauromacrogols.
In psoriasis, topical urea has been shown to increase epidermal water content and reduce the loss of water across the skin surface when measured shortly after application (1). A 10%-concentration of urea has also been shown to reduce scaling and redness of psoriatic plaques when compared to the same ointment without urea (2).
Lactic acid also works partly by attracting and binding water, as one of the components in the so-called natural moisturising factor (3), and glycerol has similar properties. In dry skin conditions, including psoriasis, water loss from the upper skin layer is linked to a reduced skin barrier function, which can worsen the disease symptoms (4).
The scalp treatment also contains lauromacrogols. In a leave-on combination product containing lauromacrogols has been shown to reduce itch, when applied 3 times per week for 4 weeks in people with dry and itchy scalp conditions (5).
HelloSkin's experts were unable to find clinical evidence for the benefit of Eucerin DermoCapillaire Calming Urea Scalp Treatment in people with atopic dermatitis. However, the product contains some ingredients that are known to be important for normal skin function. For instance glycerin, which serves as an humectant helping attract and bind water in the skin.
The product also contains urea, which is an important component of the epidermis where it serves to keep healthy skin hydrated by attracting and binding water as a part of the skin's natural moisturising factor (6). In dry skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, water loss from the upper skin layer is linked to a reduced skin barrier function, which can worsen the disease symptoms (4).
Furthermore, studies have shown in atopic dermatitis, that the use of urea containing emollients (either 5% or 10%) can reduce disease severity by about 20% after 42 days (7).
The product also contains lactic acid. Lactic acid is also a part of the skin's natural moisturising factor, the level of which has been shown to be reduced in eczematous compared with healthy skin (3).
Finally, the product contains lauromacrogols. In people with dry and itchy scalp conditions, a leave-on combination product containing lauromacrogols, lactate and urea applied to one half of the scalp 3 times per week for 4 weeks, was shown to significantly alleviate scalp dryness and itching (5).

Polish healthcare systems, together with other European Union (EU) countries, must face the problem of rapid ageing of our societies. The increase in population of those aged 65+ will affect the average number of medications taken by patients due to their multimorbidities, longer lifespan and progress in pharmaceutical research
No official policy statements or regulatory guidelines on polypharmacy have been released to date by Italian Health Authorities. However, it should be acknowledged that the growing awareness of the problem has been documented by the release of observational studies on this issue by national study groups and scientific societies.
Portugal lacks any polypharmacy management program, and has no prospects for one in the near future. In addition to the lack of a polypharmacy programme, scientific literature also shows scarce concern for polypharmacy management and medication adherence in Portugal. The studies are limited to some hospital services or nursing homes, with few studies in primary care and ambulatory patients.
Germany has one of the world's most rapidly ageing populations. The impact on health care provision will be enormous. Multiple chronic morbidities are common among older citizens and multiple medications are needed to keep people's health under control. However, such polypharmacy poses serious health risks if inadequately applied.
The Spanish case study examined polypharmacy management in Catalonia. Two distinct models in different practice settings were identified: a government sponsored programme targeting complex chronic patients in primary care and an institutional network programme targeting older adults admitted to hospital, long-term care or nursing homes.
In 2012 the Swedish government introduced national legislation stating that all elderly patients using multiple medicines should receive medication reconciliation and, if necessary, a comprehensive medication review. This case study investigates how and why this legislation was developed and implemented on a national, regional and local level, with Uppsala County as the main example.
Scotland currently has a well-developed polypharmacy review programme, which is now in its fourth year. National Polypharmacy Guidance (2012, 2nd edition 2015) was developed by a multidisciplinary group and has been adopted by all 14 health boards (100%) across Scotland, with each board having developed plans to identify priority patients with potentially inappropriate elements to their polypharmacy and to implement reviews for those patients at highest risk of harm.

The California stem cell agency may well have a new vice president of research and development by the end of this month and at a salary exceeding the $332,000 allotted for the position.
CIRM directors will meet one week from today to consider raising the existing pay range for the position. CIRM President Alan Trounson obviously has a candidate that wants more than $332,000, and the board is not likely to reject Trounson's choice. To do so would indicate a lack of confidence in Trounson.
CIRM has not disclosed exactly what the new salary will be or explained why it is needed. Don't look for that information until the day of the meeting and probably only if you are in attendance at one of the telephonic meeting locations around the state. CIRM generally has not posted such sensitive salary information in advance of meetings.
Trounson was eager to find someone with industry experience. Last July, Trounson told directors that he wanted "someone with the skill base to have more of a focus in their role with biotech/pharma – translation – clinical applications, which is where we are moving with our translational, disease teams and clinical grants and where we are thin in capacity."
Trounson hired Levin and Company at a cost of $100,000 to help with the search.
The new position was created by Trounson after Marie Csete resigned suddenly last June as CIRM's chief scientific officer. She said her advice was not respected. Her position will not be filled, but her responsibilities are being parcelled out to the new VP and Patricia Olson, executive director of scientific activities, who has been with the agency since its early days. Under a new structure announced last August, Olson reports directly to Trounson as will the new VP. Previously Olson reported to the chief scientific officer.
The compensation for the new post was scheduled to come up at the CIRM board meeting earlier this month in the State Capitol. CIRM chairman Robert Klein took the matter off the table the day of the meeting, saying negotiations were not at the right stage.
The move came on the same day as The Sacramento Bee carried a front page story that said California state workers received 4 percent less pay last year than in 2008 as a result of the state's financial crisis. Approval of a salary beyond $332,000 creates a public relations risk for CIRM, given the severe cutbacks elsewhere around the state. CIRM's salaries are already quite generous compared to other state agencies.
Salaries are easy for the public to criticize and to understand, especially compared to arcane scientific studies that may not seem immediately relevant to many people. Additionally, boosting a $332,000 salary without telling the public in advance why or specifying the size of the increase plays into the hands of those who are critical of CIRM's lack of transparency and openness.
The new VP will have a financial impact on CIRM beyond the salary. He or she is expected to have at least two or more staffers assigned to work for him or her. They will be new hires at CIRM, which is already chafing under the legal limit of 50 employees. In fact, Trounson has warned that the quality of work could slip unless a way is found to circumvent or repeal the cap.
Another matter is on the table as well next Monday. The item says,
"Consideration of guidance and CIRM's Medical and Ethical Standards regarding use of previously NIH approved lines in CIRM-funded research and additional lines that are comparable to CIRM's recommendations to the NIH and/or would be grandfathered or approved under those recommendations."
No further explanation was offered by CIRM.
Interested parties can take part in the board proceedings at teleconference locations throughout the state including San Francisco(4), Los Angeles(2), La Jolla(2), San Diego, Duarte, Berkeley, Sacramento, Pleasanton and Healdsburg. More locations could be added in the next few days. Specific addresses can be found on the agenda.

Waterless Lawn Cherrylog Georgia
It would appear at a cursory glance that synthetic grass is a very expensive replacement for natural grass, but the high cost is only up front. When measured over the life of the grass you will find that synthetic grass is actually a cheaper alternative to the real stuff and the savings may not simply be the cost of maintaining the grass.
So, that higher upfront cost of a synthetic grass surface is pretty quickly recouped by the lower maintenance requirements. Time, energy and the possibility of greater usage gives you a surface that will pay for itself over its lifetime.
The Evolution Of Artificial Turf
Artificial grass lawns are the ideal alternative to natural lawns for households with any breed of dog. All artificial turf products on the market have been engineered specifically to withstand pet usage. There are several reasons why an artificial grass lawn is idyllic for families that own dogs. Dog kennels, dog hotels, and dog shows have adopted synthetic grass due to its pet-friendly nature. Several dog owners and households with dogs have also been pleased with artificial grass lawns for several reasons.
Artificial grass products are composed of polypropylene and polyethylene. These components are then melted together and extruded into long yarn-like strands that are later tufted together. All of the materials used are nontoxic for all dogs. Should any part of the product be ingested, it will not pose a serious threat to any pet's life. Washed sand is used to help synthetic grass blades maintain its upright aesthetic, even after heavy usage. Even the largest dogs that try to dig through the grass are not able to puncture or ruin artificial turf because of its strong backing. Most synthetic grass products have warranties that last for up to 10 years, should any lawn become torn or defective.
With an artificial grass lawn, there leaves no room for barren spots or discoloration. Dogs will not be able to dig through and kill grass. Muddy areas and are also preventable with synthetic grass lawns. With the lack of mud, you no longer have to worry about tracking noticeable paw prints on your porch and inside your house. Artificial grass proves to be the better lawn alternative for those with dogs as pets. Synthetic grass allows you to create a customized pet-friendly environment for your dog without the worry of heavy maintenance or health hazards.
Studies on Synthetic Grass Safety
Throughout the decades, artificial turf has evolved into a very realistic and technologically advanced alternative to real grass. However, it is safe to say that synthetic turf products were not always this way. Like most widely adopted modern products, much research and new developments happened in order to lead to the impressive synthetic grass products that are available to consumers today. Though the artificial grass industry has come a long way, it is important to note its developments and history.
Though newer synthetic grass is very much unlike its predecessors, some may not realize the difference. AstroTurf, the pioneering grass-like surface, was created in the 1960's. This early synthetic grass was a short pile grass that was made from PVC-like material. This tended to have a very spiky and plastic-like feel, as well as a shinier and lighter appearance. In comparison to new artificial grass, old AstroTurf from decades ago was not as soft and less similar to natural grass. It did not have many of the functional attributes available in modern synthetic turf, such as infill and a highly effective drainage system.
The modern drainage system of synthetic grass allows liquids to permeate through the grass in all directions. Thus, it manually drains itself and requires no extra effort when coming into contact with liquid. Modern turf backing is highly perforated, ensuring that drainage is quick and effective. With such an innovative system, artificial turf does not collect water, decreasing bug infestation, bacteria, and spores. It is evident that the evolution of artificial turf has taken strides to be the industry that it is today. Modern synthetic grass is the ultimate in technologically advanced lawn systems that require minimal maintenance, and are equipped with impressive features.

Hearings set to take public testimony on potential business impacts0
ST. PAUL – March 1, 2011 – Two hearings will be held March 16 to take public testimony on the Supplemental Environmental Assessment reviewing the potential loss of business revenue along the Central Corridor LRT route during construction.
The meetings are scheduled for 8 a.m. in the Lao Family Community of Minnesota second-floor conference room, 320 University Ave. W., in St. Paul and at 6 p.m. at Goodwill/Easter Seals, 553 Fairview Ave. N., in St. Paul. Individuals' comments will be recorded so their testimony can become part of the environmental process.
At the end of the 30-day comment period, the Metropolitan Council and the Federal Transit Administration will respond to all comments as part of the final Supplemental Environmental Assessment document.
People with special needs should contact community outreach coordinator Shoua Lee for reasonable accommodations at the hearings. Her contact information is [email protected] of 651-602-1014.
The Supplemental Environmental Assessment addresses the potential loss of business revenue as an adverse impact of the construction of the Central Corridor LRT Project, including mitigation activities. The assessment was conducted in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements for environmental review and pursuant to the U.S. District Court's Jan. 27 ruling on the NAACP's lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Transportation.
The Supplemental Environmental Assessment is posted on the Central Corridor LRT Project website at www.centralcorridor.org and is available for public review and comment for 30 days. In addition to giving testimony at the hearings, the public may submit written comments by March 31 to Kathryn O'Brien at the address below or via email at [email protected], or mail to Kathryn O'Brien, Environmental Services Manager, Central Corridor Project Office, 540 Fairview Ave. N., Ste. 200, St. Paul, MN 55104.
Copies are also available for review at the following locations:
• Metropolitan Council library, 390 N. Robert St., St. Paul
• Central Corridor Project Office, 540 Fairview Ave. N., Ste. 200, St. Paul
• Minnesota Department of Transportation library, Transportation Building, 395 John Ireland Blvd., St. Paul
• Central Corridor Resource Center, 1080 University Ave. W., St. Paul

• Hennepin County Law Library, 300 S. 6th St., C-2451 Government Center, Minneapolis
As part of the Supplemental Environmental Assessment process, two town hall/open house meetings were held Feb. 17. At least 150 people attended. Staff from the FTA and the Central Corridor Project Office listened and answered questions on a one-to-one basis. Comments related to the potential loss of revenue by local businesses were included in the NEPA process.
The Central Corridor Light Rail Transit Project will link downtown St. Paul and downtown Minneapolis along Washington and University avenues via the state Capitol and the University of Minnesota. Construction began in late summer 2010 on the planned 11-mile Central Corridor line, and service will begin in 2014. The line will connect with the Hiawatha LRT line at the Metrodome station in Minneapolis and the Northstar commuter rail line at the Target Field Station.
The Metropolitan Council will be the grantee of federal funds. The regional government agency is charged with building the line in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
The Central Corridor Management Committee, which includes commissioners from Ramsey and Hennepin counties, the mayors of St. Paul and Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota, provides advice and oversight. Funding is provided by the Federal Transit Administration, Counties Transit Improvement Board, state of Minnesota, Ramsey and Hennepin counties' regional railroad authorities, city of St. Paul, Metropolitan Council and the Central Corridor Funders Collaborative.

I do hope that the Bill Nelson interview in the Jan 2012 edition of Guitar & Bass has encouraged younger readers to look him up on Youtube and listen to Be Bop Deluxe. This guy deserves to be heard more – what a fantastic guitarist.
By the way, I was amused that his fan remarked about him ageing. I recall when I saw Bill a couple of years ago, my first thought was that he didn't look like that cool bloke from the 1970s. But then again, nether do any of us who are lucky enough to have made it this far! Mick Sleight via email
We're can only hope that your wish becomes true, Mick. As big fans of Bill Nelson, we want young and old from around the globe to appreciate his playing and songwriting. He's not been one for pushing himself forward as a 'brand', and at various points he's been quite reticent about revisiting some of his earlier work. Given that we've long waved goodbye to the days when we were young, gifted and impossibly good-looking, we wouldn't criticise anyone for not looking the same as they did a few decades ago. There's plenty of things that true musical visionaries like Bill
Nelson can defeat, but Old Father Time ain't one of them (although there does seem to be an increasing amount of guitar players who look like they've gone under the knife). If we were that kind of magazine, we'd ask you to send in any salacious gossip/ evidence regarding guitar players who've had cosmetic surgery. However, we aren't, so we won't.

Les Paul: picking into his 90s
WHEN I'M SIXTY-SEVEN In reply to Tom Overs' 'When I'm 64' in the January issue of G&B, I too love playing the guitar – but just for myself. Each evening I go into my music room and have a daily quota of twanging, be it the Shadows or Quo or music from Creedence Clearwater Revival to Tom Petty. Even though I have retired and am approaching my 67th birthday, I still love playing the guitar.

G&B Good man, Keith, for ignoring society's stereotypes. It's good to know that there are people out there who haven't let the guitar fire die out, regardless of what's on their birth certificate. We're actually starting to think we should start a search for the oldest living guitar player. If you think you qualify, or know somebody who does, let us know. Be honest, mind – if you claim to be 103 we will insist on some kind of verification.
WINTER WONDERLAND Re: your Johnny Winter interview in the Nov 11 issue. I realise that it's been many years since Jimi walked this earth, and we all know who he was and what he represents to us as a musician. Johnny must have forgotten when Jimi and himself went into the Record Plant Studios in New York so that Jimi could watch Johnny play that bottleneck like no other. They did have the tapes rolling, with no mention of Jim Morrison around. Jimi was fascinated with the old bottleneck blues style, as quoted by Johnny in a magazine article taken by Roy Carr. Apparently they did know each other and admired one another's talent. I have an extensive scrapbook with this article and have been a Hendrix/Winter fan forever.
David Dutton USA
G&B The quote from Johnny Winter in our little sidebar in the article refers to a 1968 bootleg recording that Hendrix, Winter and Morrison all appear on. We think that in this instance, probably because he's answered the question more than a few times in his life, Johnny was being a bit facetious. He doesn't seem to ever waiver in denying ever meeting Morrison or appearing on the bootleg; however, as you say, he has talked about meeting and recording with Hendrix in other interviews. We apologise for any confusion, and hope this clears things up… well, as much as these things can be, anyway.
