There's nothing like throwing on some warm clothes on a cold winter morning and taking your four-legged friend for a frolic along the frosty seafront. One of our favourite routes is around Southsea Castle, with some amazing Solent views and the perfectly-sized Castle Field.
Plus, it's just a stone's throw away from Southsea Common, a vast space where you can let your dog off their leash. Both the seafront and Southsea Common are lined with plenty of poop bins, so be sure to clean up after your pupper!
A charming detour to the seafront is through the Southsea Rock Gardens, where you'll have to keep your dog on their leash.
There are restrictions on the seafront between Southsea Castle and the Royal Marines Museum in Eastney from 31st May through 30th October each year, so during the hotter summer months, bearing more towards Southsea Common is advisable, but dogs are also allowed at the Southsea Bandstand, so long as they're kept on a lead.
There are plenty of doggo-friendly eateries along the seafront, including Southsea Beach Café, Mozzarella Joes, and Coffee Cup Eastney.
Park in Mountbatten Leisure Centre's car lot, walk down to the water's edge, and stroll along to the Alexandra Park field, where you can let your dog off their leash.
It's a beautiful open space with a couple of goalposts, if you and a friend fancy a kickabout while your dog's galavanting around — and if you don't mind your ball potentially becoming a chew toy!
A couple of warnings: the path along the water's edge can get a touch busy with cyclists, walkers, joggers, et al, so it's typically a good idea to keep your dog on a leash along this path.
On Saturday and Sunday mornings, there may also be a few stray beer cans on the ground in the park, but keep an eye out and all will be well.
Old Portsmouth is a beautiful place to explore with your dog, with lots of history for you to enjoy and open spaces around the Royal Garrison Church to let them off their leashes.
There are also dog-friendly pubs like the Still & West and The Bridge Tavern, both offering stunning views and outdoor seating.
Head north from Alexandra Park and you'll find yourself on the Hilsea Lines, also known as Foxes Forest. It's a relaxing woodland path where you'll easily lose yourself to nature.
There are old ramparts to admire, trails to explore, and loads of room for man's best friend to run around. And with all those sticks to throw, it's doggy heaven!
You'll find two of the best open spaces for dogs on the eastern edge of the island: Milton Common and Great Salterns Recreation Ground.
Vast expanses of grassy terrain, easily-accessible earthy and stony shorelines, intertwining trails, and plenty of benches along the way — this part of Portsmouth sometimes feels like it was created especially for dog walkers!
The only things you'll need to be wary of are wildfowl on the lakes of Milton Common, and crossing the Eastern Road. A favoured route from Milton Common to Great Salterns is through Sword Sands Road, a footpath which runs past Portsmouth College.

The Daily Crime
The Next Dirty Dem Trick In The Scott Brown Race
Logistics Monster January 9, 2010 January 9, 2010 75 Mins Read
Where to freakin' start with the dirty tricks the Democrats use to win elections and keep their opponents from being seated in the congress? ACORN, Dem Secretaries of State, Harry Reid barring senators from being sat? You know something is happening inside a race when the Dems start talking about "taking a long time to certify an election".
History's most notorious Georgian-turned-Russian, the politically astute Joseph Stalin once remarked, "The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything."
Scott Brown swearing-in would be stalled to pass health-care reform
It looks like the fix is in on national health-care reform – and it all may unfold on Beacon Hill.
At a business forum in Boston Friday, interim Sen. Paul Kirk predicted that Congress would pass a health-care reform bill this month.
"We want to get this resolved before President Obama's State of the Union address in early to mid-February," Kirk told reporters at a Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce breakfast.
The longtime aide and confidant of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who was handpicked by Gov. Deval Patrick after a controversial legal change to hold Kennedy's seat, vowed to vote for the bill even if Republican state Sen. Scott Brown, who opposes the health-care reform legislation, prevails in a Jan. 19 special election. (emphasis mine)
"Absolutely," Kirk said, when asked if he'd vote for the bill, even if Brown captures the seat. "It would be my responsibility as United States senator, representing the people and understanding Senator Kennedy's agenda. . . . I think you're asking me a hypothetical question but I'd be pleased to vote for the bill."
Few have considered the Jan. 19 election as key to the fate of national health-care reform because both Kirk and front-runner state Attorney General Martha Coakley, the Democratic nominee, have vowed to uphold Kennedy's legacy and support health-care reform.
But if Brown wins, the entire national health-care reform debate may hinge on when he takes over as senator. Brown has vowed to be the crucial 41st vote in the Senate that would block the bill.
The U.S. Senate ultimately will schedule the swearing-in of Kirk's successor, but not until the state certifies the election.
Friday, a spokesman for Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin, who is overseeing the election but did not respond to a call seeking comment, said certification of the Jan. 19 election by the Governor's Council would take a while.
"Because it's a federal election," spokesman Brian McNiff said. "We'd have to wait 10 days for absentee and military ballots to come in."
Another source told the Herald that Galvin's office has said the election won't be certified until Feb. 20 – well after the president's address.
Since the U.S. Senate doesn't meet again in formal session until Jan. 20, Bay State voters will have made their decision before a vote on health-care reform could be held. But Kirk and Galvin's office said Friday a victorious Brown would be left in limbo.
In contrast, Rep. Niki Tsongas (D-Lowell) was sworn in at the U.S. House of Representatives on Oct. 18, 2007, just two days after winning a special election to replace Martin Meehan. In that case, Tsongas made it to Capitol Hill in time to override a presidential veto of the expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program.
Friday, Brown, who has been closing the gap with Coakley in polls and fund raising, blasted the political double standard.
"This is a stunning admission by Paul Kirk and the Beacon Hill political machine," said Brown in a statement. "Paul Kirk appears to be suggesting that he, Deval Patrick, and (Senate Majority Leader) Harry Reid intend to stall the election certification until the health care bill is rammed through Congress, even if that means defying the will of the people of Massachusetts. As we've already seen from the backroom deals and kickbacks cut by the Democrats in Washington, they intend to do anything and everything to pass their controversial health care plan. But threatening to ignore the results of a free election and steal this Senate vote from the people of Massachusetts takes their schemes to a whole new level. Martha Coakley should immediately disavow this threat from one of her campaign's leading supporters."
A spokeswoman for Coakley's campaign declined to comment Friday.
Get ready for the real battle folks, and do not be demoralized and stay home instead of going to the polls. This is another Dem tactic used successfully during the democratic primaries.
From Hillbuzz:
An Open Letter to Scott Brown Supporters Regarding Eeyorism and Concern Trolls
Here's what they're going to do:
(1) Convince Scott Brown's supporters to sit home by telling them he's already lost and it's meaningless for them to vote. Dr. Utopia's Obots worked overtime before every primary or caucus telling all of Hillary Clinton's supporters it was pointless to vote, that they should just give up, and that Dr. Utopia was going to win Massachusetts, California, Ohio, Texas, Puerto Rico, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Indiana, South Dakota, you name it. Sometimes, during the middle of voting in a given state, the Obots would start the rumor that Hillary Clinton had dropped out of the race. They beseiged Clinton supporting sites telling everyone to just give up and go home. They called likely Clinton voters and told them to just stay home. Working off scripts, they just hammered and hammered this into people — and it worked! Here in Chicago, we had a few volunteers — good friends of ours — who would get so depressed at what the Obots were saying that they'd just stop phone banking, would curl up under covers, and would go to sleep until the election was over…forever surprised when Clinton won Ohio, Texas, or wherever like she was supposed to. Obots lie. Once a race was over, they'd start telling lies about the next one, to breed new Eeyores. Scott Brown, Eeyores are your biggest threat…people who walk around like infected zombies, spreading little black rainclouds to others.

They speak of Ted Kennedy's legacy as if it were something to be proud of. The legacy I most remember is the one where he ran off and left a young girl to drown in a car that he drove off a bridge.
This, folks, is murder any way you look at it. Is that a legacy to be proud of?
They will continue to circumvent the laws and rules to make sure they get their way as long as they are allowed to dominate the system. The whole bunch is crooked and what a travesty for Massachusetts.

The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo has a new colum up this morning; let's check it out.
The Carl Crawford/Cubs thing won't die. Cafardo says the Cubs are after him, possibly offering a package starting with Rich Hill and Carlos Marmol. This rumor originated with Bruce Levine a few days ago, though Roger Mooney dismissed it yesterday.
While the Red Sox have discussed Miguel Cabrera with the Marlins, Cafardo believes they might instead be eyeing a blockbuster for Johan Santana or Dan Haren. As if the Red Sox need more pitching.


What does it mean that Christ is our rock?
Earlier this week, Niki wrote about turning to her rock when she battled cancer. She urged us to continue seeking our rock and His safety as the pressures of life indicate that we need to grow.
Many references to God throughout Scripture include the word rock or synonyms like refuge, hiding place, and fortress. When we speak of Christ as our rock we in part refer to the fact that we are safe with God and that He will protect us.
We are advised in Matthew 7 to build our homes on the rock. Spiritually, physically, and relationally- this is sound advice. Christ as a rock is also Christ as our foundation. He is a strong, unchanging, and secure foundation. We know when build all things starting with and relying on Him that we don't need to fear. As the classic hymn says: all other ground is sinking sand.
Have you ever tried to move a big rock? It's tough. We know that the Lord doesn't change– that's what makes us certain that when we seek His safety, counsel, protection, and foundation, the promise is rock solid. He is unmoving and unmovable.
The verse in Psalms proclaims it best, tying together two important points: He is our rock AND our salvation. When we trust in the rock, we trust in one who is completely reliable.
We are saved by one who is immovable! That's a safe saved.

Oh, what a blessing that He is our Rock! I have thought often lately of the song "Oh, Rock of Ages, hide Thou me, No other refuge have I but Thee…" I turn to Him so often to hide me and sustain and strengthen me in the battle. He is a God Who is ever faithful and true…thank you for sharing this today.
I opened my Bible to read the Scriptures before replying. The NLT uses these words, "…my fortress where I will never be shaken." I loved that as it reminds me to go to Him & Him alone, for it it there where I will not be shaken. Thank you for this beautiful reminder today!
Yes- and that He is a place to go to is precious to know when we feel that where we're at is not safe or good!!
Yes, we do, because He is! : ) Praying for you, Steven. What an impactful week and weekend!
Psalm 62 is one of my favourites. I love the image of Jesus as our Rock and the sense of safety and security it gives.
Such a great follow up to Niki's story! Immovable and unshakable, God is our Rock!
Jesus is a safe saved. I like that. Thank you for sharing, neighbor. Blessings to you!
Love this Bethany! I am totally standing on this truth today:) I'm your neighbor at #intentionaltuesdays. Have a great day!

Feedback Q&A
SfC Home > Physical Science > Chemistry >
by Ron Kurtus (revised 19 November 2011)
A chemical compound is a molecule consisting of two or more elements. It is different than a mixture of different elements or materials.
Molecules that are the combination of atoms of the same element are not considered compounds. Compounds are classified according the the number of different elements in the molecule.
How are compounds different than mixtures?
What molecules are not compounds?
How are compounds classified?
Compound different than a mixture
Compounds are the chemical bonding of two or more different elements into a molecule. They are different than mixtures, which is a combination of two or more different materials that are not in chemical combination. Mixtures can be separated by mechanical means, while compounds can't be separated that way.
Another way a compound is different than a mixture is that an individual compound has the same proportion of each element in all of its molecules. For example, the water molecule H2O is a compound that always is made up of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
Examples of other compounds include:
Carbon monoxide: CO
Carbon dioxide: CO2
Acetone: (CH3)2CO
Zinc sulfide: ZnS
Magnesium chloride: MgCl2
Molecules that are not compounds
There are a number of molecules that are a combination of the same element. Although they can be involved in chemical reactions, they are not considered compounds. Common examples of such molecules include:
Oxygen molecule: O2
Ozone: O3
Hydrogen molecule: H2
Nitrogen molecule: N2
Chlorine molecule: Cl2
Types of compounds
Compounds can be classified according to the number of different elements in its molecule. The most common are the binary compound, which consists of two elements, and the ternary compound, consisting of three elements.
Binary compounds have two elements
Examples of binary compounds include:
Table salt or sodium chloride: NaCl
Iron sulfide: FeS
Water: H2O
Ternary compounds have three elements
Examples of ternary compounds include:
Sodium hydroxide: NaOH
Perchloric acid: HClO4
Sulfuric acid: H2SO4
A compound consists of two or more elements in a chemically combined as a molecule. This is as opposed to a mixture, which is not a chemical combination. There are molecules that are not considered compounds. Compounds are classified according the the number of different elements in the molecule.

Banking/Credit
Judge OKs J.P. Morgan $300M insurance settlement
Published: Feb. 28, 2014 at 12:59 p.m. ET
Christina Rexrode
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- A Miami judge has granted final approval to a $300 million settlement between J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, -0.43% and homeowners who said they were ripped off by the bank when it bought property insurance policies for them. Judge Federico Moreno on Friday approved the settlement, in which the bank and the insurance company Assurant Inc. AIZ, +2.00% could pay a combined $300 million out to about 760,000 homeowners. The homeowners can receive refunds for 12.5% of the premiums they paid on policies that J.P. Morgan "force-placed" on them. Some homeowners had protested the settlement, saying the sum isn't high enough. Similar cases against Bank of America Corp. BAC, -0.73% and Wells Fargo & Co. WFC, +1.84% are also pending in Miami. Earlier this month, Citigroup Inc. C, -0.84% and Assurant agreed to pay a combined $110 million to homeowners in a case over force-placed insurance, though that settlement still needs a judge's approval.
Churchill Capital Corp IV undefined, a special purpose acquisition corporation set up by former Citigroup Inc. banker Michael Klein, issued a statement on Tuesday in response to inquiries from shareholders and following what it called 'unusual trading' in its shares in recent sessions. The blank-check company, which was formed for the purpose of acquiring a business or businesses, said it is always reviewing a range of potential business combinations to find a best fit for its shareholders. "We do not generally comment on rumors and speculation and will not comment as to whether the company is or is not pursuing a specific business opportunity other than saying, as noted, we are always evaluating a number of potential business combinations," said the statement. Churchill shares have gained about 50% in the last three months, amid media reports that it is in talks for a merger with electric vehicle company Lucid Motors. Electric vehicles have become a major subject of speculation after Tesla Inc.'s undefined more than 700% gains in the last 12 months.

Quirky accommodation: Something for the more adventurous traveller
Thai seniors, aged 60 and older, are Airbnb's most active users. Usage of the home rental site Airbnb has rapidly increased among Thai seniors, leading them to be the most active users in the world, according to Airbnb's analytics.

Sleep in a Plane.
Underground Hygge.
Here Be Dragons.
Unique Cobb Cottage.
Tatami Room.
AirShip.
Senior guests from Thailand have increased usage by 62% in the past year, while senior hosts earned almost 300 million baht in 2017. Thai seniors are also considered the most loved hosts compared with other age groups as represented by Airbnb's rating system.
"Perhaps it's no surprise we're seeing such strong growth in this demographic," said Greg Greeley, president of homes at Airbnb. "Seniors are healthier and wealthier than they've ever been, and tend to take more and longer trips than other age groups."
Thailand also has the highest proportion of senior guests using Airbnb, followed by Japan and the US. The top trending destinations for these guests are Rawai and Kathu in Phuket and Chiang Mai.
With such an interest in Airbnb's offering, perhaps local citizens may be interested to spread their wings further afield in more adventurous home stays.
Here is a selection of six quintessentially quirky listings around the world that provide a more unusual experience for the intrepid traveller.
Sleep in a Plane (Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef, France)
For those looking to take their travels to new heights, you can book your own private plane in the heart of western France. This accommodation comes complete with a double bed and a living room in the cabin, and everyone gets a chance to sit in the cockpit, which has been converted into a bathroom with a view.
Underground Hygge (Orondo, WA, USA)
Nestled in a hillside along the Columbia River Gorge is Kristie's one-of-a-kind hobbit hole home, a home that would inspire anyone to take off for their next incredible journey. Every nook and cranny of the dwelling was built out of sustainable materials so that guests can enjoy warmth in the winter and coolness in the summer.
Here Be Dragons (Westhall, UK)
For this home in the English countryside, it's all in the name. Perched on top of this award-winning home's chimney sits a larger-than-life dragon sculpture greeting you as you come up the drive. Host Jo says the property's name "Here Be Dragons" has become shorthand for that which is fascinating and unexplored – and her eclectic, colourful home is the exact uncharted territory you'll want to discover.
Unique Cobb Cottage (Mayne Island, Canada)
This petite, hand-sculpted cottage home is made of entirely natural, earthen materials and provides a welcome and warm retreat surrounded by gardens, sheep and orchards. Mindful of the environment, and to save guests from having to rent a car, host Alexis also goes out of her way to provide transportation for her guests during their trip.
Tatami Room (Osaka, Japan)
Built by host Mariko's grandparents more than 70 years ago, this traditional, multi-generational Japanese home provides a time capsule experience for guests to enjoy and savour. Mariko provides thoughtful touches for her guests to enjoy, from maps and local suggestions, to bikes to ride, to little snacks and small gifts for guests throughout their stay.
AirShip (Scottish Highlands, UK)
Situated a stone's throw away from the waters of the Sound of Mull, host Amanda's aluminum pod features all the amenities of a full home. With stunning views from throughout this work of art, including a stargazing station at night, guests at the AirShip experience a truly unique environment in which to relax and unwind.

Petrol Jsc posted pre-tax loss in the amount of 25.2 million leva (12.8 mln euros), versus 17 million leva (8.69 mln euros) in 2006. Adjusted for deferred corporate taxes the net loss comes to 22.9 mln leva (11.7 mln euros), the company's audited report filed with BSE revealed.
The previously released preliminary data pointed to a non-consolidated profit in the amount of 9.96 mln leva (5.09 mln euros) for 2007.
EBIDTA is down from 30 mln leva (15.3 mln euros) in 2006 to 15 mln leva (7.6 mln euros) this year. The decline is mainly attributed to the lower gross margin and rising operating costs.
Revenues stand at 794 mln euros (405 mln euros) which is 22.3% up from 2006.
Sales of goods and services account for the largest share of total revenues. Fuel services resulted in 704 mln leva (359 mln euros) and sales of goods at 40 mln leva (20 mln euros).
Retail sales rose from 568 mln leva (290 mln euros) in 2006 to 694 mln leva (354 mln euros) last year (almost 22%). Wholesale volume is up 11%.
A total of 519 Petrol Jsc gas stations were in operation last year.
In spite of the growing volume of sales, the profit per liter continues to go down in the sector as a whole due to the rising excise duties and state fees, which make the end products more expensive.
The company expects a strong competition in the sector this year, which will drive smaller players out of business.
The final transaction on the position today was at 4.35 leva/share.

Santuri (So Far)
Filed under: Articles, Santuri Sounds, SanturionSafari, Words from the Team No Comments
As 2014 draws to a close it's perhaps a good opportunity to reflect a little on what has been an incredible year for Santuri, and look ahead to even more exciting times ahead in 2015.
What can happen in a year
This time last year Santuri was still an idea being batted around by various cultural curators, artists, DJs and other activists in East Africa. 12 months later, we find ourselves in a strong and unique position, thanks to the support of a myriad of individuals, organizations and movements that have helped us on our way.
Widening the sonic palette
Santuri in an idea that focusses on concepts of innovation, collaboration and creativity within the East African music scene – a platform for experimentation, learning and expression for musicians, DJs, curators, and audio engineers. There was a feeling that the region was under-performing and under-representing its incredibly rich and diverse talent, often swamped by western-influenced, aspirational and highly commercial, throwaway sounds. Santuri tapped into this feeling of discontent by musicians and music lovers, and developed a series of events and projects over the course of the year to road test a concept – that through developing interesting collaborations, widening the sonic palette, and approaching the creation of music in a professional yet innovative way – new East African sounds would resonate around the region and much further beyond.
Rebooting expectations
We feel we are well on the way to proving that concept. Working with regional festival partners such as Sauti za Busara (Zanzibar), DoaDoa East African Performing Arts Market, (Uganda) Rift Valley Festival (Kenya), Bayimba (Uganda) and Sondeka / Creatives Garage (Kenya), Santuri has run 5 hugely successful co-creation workshop / recording sessions throughout the year. The sessions focussed on putting regional artist together with highly regarded producers from around the globe, developing new music within highly charged creative environments. Often in makeshift, pop-up studios in unusual locations, the benefits of this approach has been numerous – from rebooting expectations of what is possible with minimal equipment, developing highly collaborative ways to build tracks, and integrating cutting-edge technology from our partners Ableton and Native Instruments in order to create DJ / club friendly tracks ready for testing to festival audiences that same day. What's more, each event is a opportunity to build the skills and enhance the professionalism of participants and partners, leaving a legacy to build on.
Over 20 tracks in one year
At last count, we've produced over 20 original East African tracks and remixes under the Santuri banner, and many are receiving strong support from high profile tastemakers, DJs, record labels and websites around the world. In terms of global reach for new music, East Africa is definitely rising.
We've been honored to work with and learn from many exceptional artists from around the planet, including but not limited to Wunmi, Haja Madacascar, OY, Gebrueder Teichmann, Makadem, Sebunjo, Sarabi, Giovanni Kremer Kiyingi, Esa Williams, Ambrose Akula, Lulo Cafe, Tony Nwachukwu, DJ Zhao and many more. Our ever growing local network of DJs, producers and promoters have driven the concept forward – through the evolution of a regional party network that includes Hatari Voltage in Kampala, Santuri Society in Dar and Muthurukshion in Nairobi – and via blistering sets and remixes by the likes of H The Dj, Saint Evo the Myth, Nzech, Dark Meme, DJ Ivo, Dread Steppa, DJ Rachael, Mr Jake, and DJ Bad Cat, and many others.
Great partners
As we develop this network further, we welcome many new and unique East African voices into the community, diversifying into new musics and cultures as we go. In fact, thanks to the strong support of our partners such as HIVOS, we are heading into 2015 with an incredible range of projects lined up. Across the region we'll be running more workshops, more studio sessions with new artists, more parties, and more festival appearances in more countries. Beyond that, we have a full schedule of official global releases lined up for various Santuri projects via our new label and its partners in Europe, the launch of our new website, as well as a hugely exciting project to develop locally built pro audio equipment for the east African market. What's more, we're developing live bands with the likes of Mim Sulieman, and creating opportunities to tour Santuri and East African artists in Europe, the UK and South Africa.
Trilled to have got this far
We are thrilled to have got this far, and can't wait to enter the next phase of the journey. Needless to say, it's only been possible and worthwhile because of the support and encouragement of so many people and organisations, and the dedication and drive of many we have worked with. With that in mind, we'd like to wish you all a happy holiday period and look forward to seeing you all again in the new year.
Best wishes from the Santuri Team

Thief swipes chemotherapy drugs from man's front porch
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A Kansas City man fighting skin cancer recorded a thief stealing his chemotherapy medicine right off his front porch.
The theft – which Kevin Smith calls invasive to his home and health – happened on Thursday and was caught on a motion-sensor security camera connected to his smartphone.
The camera started rolling as soon as this thief turned his back, and shows him stealing the package off Smith's porch, then darting across the street into a getaway car.
"Broad daylight!" Smith said. "Neighbors sitting outside! The car pulls up, stops, guy gets out, goes to two houses, takes packages, gets back in the car and drives away like nothing's going on! Nothing!"
But more upsetting was what was inside Smith's package: Vital medicine he needs to fight his 6-year battle with basal cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer.
"It's hard to place a value on cancer cells growing in your body," he said. "Especially when 45 days prior to this, the doctor has said 'you have 16 new beginnings to grow.'"
Over the years, Smith has had 30 surgeries. So for the past month, he's been trying his luck on a new oral medication called Erivedge. Thursday's delivery contained his new dosage.
"That was like a punch in the heart, in the gut," he said of the theft. "It took my breath to know that I'm fighting it, but someone's fighting me fighting it. And why? Really? Come on!"
He continued, "It hurts. It`s personal space. You`re on my porch. You are taking my package, not to mention my medication that I need. It`s invasive for me."
Smith's neighbor, Nicole Boshard, was watching from her window when she noticed the thief's suspicious behavior.
"I kind of noticed a van had pulled up and parked in front of my house," she said, "and it was kind of strange, but I thought maybe they were checking their GPS for a house, like looking for somebody."
She quickly realized that was not the case, when she noticed the man was already carrying a stolen Amazon package before he darted to Smith's porch. She immediately called police.
"It was just kind of sad that that was happening to my neighbors," she said, "and I was upset, kind of unsettled about the whole thing."
Smith and Boshard said it's just the latest in a string of package thefts plaguing their Armour Hills neighborhood.
"The police say that they drive around the neighborhoods," Smith said, "following Fedex and UPS trucks and give it about a 10-15 minute span [before they steal the packages]."
Smith is now fighting back with tighter video surveillance, while refusing to let the thief get in the way of his personal fight against cancer.
"Granted, it's not the worst kind of cancer by any means," he said, "I don't want anyone to think that. But basal cell can grow into things that can be deadly if you let them go and that`s what I'm trying to not happen."
Thankfully, Smith's insurance company replaced his stolen medication.
He's now asking for your help in catching the man in the video. He's described as a thin white man who was wearing blue jeans, a light blue shirt and took off in a dark blue van.
If you know who he is, call Crime Stoppers at (816) 474-TIPS.


TIEC conducts this summer English language and culture program in Austin, Texas for students from Nihon University-Mishima Senior High School, Mishima, Japan. The three-week program provides students and accompanying teachers with English language instruction, cultural information relevant to their stay in the U.S., cultural and social activities, field trips, and a weekend homestay experience.
This program brings Korean secondary school teachers to Texas to gain a deeper understanding of American culture and life, and to experience American public education, particularly American ESL methodologies and practices. The seven-week program consists of three phases: Phase I - four-week Academic Residency in Austin; Phase II - two-week Secondary School Site Residency in a Texas school district outside of Austin; and Phase III - one-week Academic Residency in Austin to reflect and plan how to integrate newly acquired knowledge and skills into their teaching in Korea.
This four-week training program for local government officials from the Republic of Korea, sponsored by the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs, includes both full-time intensive English language instruction daily, additonal professional seminars by specialists on topics related to local and state government and public service, and a robust schedule of educational and cultural visits in Austin and San Antonio.
TIEC operated a comprehensive, American-style branch campus for the first two years of university study for the Government of Malaysia. TIEC provided instructors, curricula, teaching materials, and equipment for the program in Malaysia which served 1,500 students. TIEC also assisted the placement of 1,100 of those students in universities in the U.S. More than 225 faculty from the U.S. conducted courses in Malaysia.
TIEC provided technical assistance to the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PVN) for the design and development of PetroVietnam University, a training institution that features a strong career and applied science orientation to meet the needs of Vietnam's petroleum industry. TIEC designed several key components of the University's curricula, laboratories, and library, as well as its administrative, operational, and financial systems. The TIEC consultant team consisted of nine senior faculty and administrators in engineering and the geosciences from six Texas public universities, along with five distinguished Vietnamese scholars in the fields of higher education planning, management, and finance.


A few weeks back the twins's teacher sent me home with two blank white pieces of cardboard. I was told to have the girls help me put together a board that told ALL about them. Well... the girls helped for about 3 minutes, lost interest, and I was left to finish things up, ha!
Is this a reflection of how things will go in the future with science fair projects??? eeek!
I have about EVERY tool, paper, and embellishment, to be a great scrapbooker... but alas... I am not.
Theres just something so intimidating about all those "cute" little pieces, that makes me crazy. I never know what to choose, or how to pair things up right, so that my paper pages look finished, but not OVERLY "scrapped"!
So for these little collages, I decided to use my Silhouette Machine to cut out some simple small vinyl decals, and paired them with a bunch of my favorite pictures of each of the twins, that I just printed at Walmart for a few bucks.
It was definitely more of a simple approach, but I think I like it better then all the paper and trimmings, this time around.
And, I can't wait to see/hear your reaction when they do projects on their own and it is not up to your standards...hehe...we've been there too!
Those are awesome!!! I love the font with their names... What a great keepsake for them, too. Maybe frame them for their rooms later?
Sometimes simple is the way to go, and this was no exception. They look great!!!
The amount of scrapbooking stuff I have is ridiculous, but I still have no clue what I'm doing. I just wing it. My favorite pages are just collages that take me back and allow me to dictate my memories.
LOVE IT ! So cute!
Super cute! Great job, Mama!
I think they turned out beautifully!!
The boards look fantastic. I love the very simple clean approach to them. And YOUR daughters are adorable.
wow! you did an amazing job! they are adorable!
Those look great. It is a testement to your photography skills that you had so many great shots to include.
Your kids are going to look like rock stars at school :) Awesome job!
ooooh! i love it. i wish they had all that stuff to work with when i was in elementary school. Looks awesome!
those are very cute!! very mom done but very cute:)it's a hard decision when you want it to look nice or be done by them! last through high school!!
These look amazing- what a wonderful keepsake for the girls!
They turned out great! What do you mean you're not a great scrapbooker?? Evidently you are! They are so many different styles ... you just picked yours and excelled in it!
Coming from a teacher- this looks great. I'd be proud to hang this outside my hallway for the whole school to see.
Okay, those are THE BEST spotlight posters ever! When my kids need theirs done, can I hire you?
Adorable! I did my 4 year olds getting to know me poster very similarly at the beginning of the school year but I used paper instead of vinyl so I had to glue it down - I didn't even think of using vinyl!
I've been a bit of a stalker for a while and this is my first time commenting, but I just had to tell you how much I loved these. I have this very same task this weekend, to make an 'All About Me' poster for my little girl. I love how simple yet beautiful yours are. Thanks for some great ideas.
LOVE those posters! All the other kids/moms will be jealous.
Super cute! I don't know what you were going to do, but I don't think these are "simple", they look great!
Emberly is the cutest name ever!
I love to scrapbook but I don't like all of the ribbon and embellishments. My kids are so cute- no embellishments needed!
Oh my goodness, the other mothers are going to hate you! Those are so cute!
These look great! I'm sure the teacher will appreciate the hard work that went into them, even if it was mostly yours ;) I was wondering if you will be posting a picture of your kitchen shelves decorated for Spring? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you will be!
Those are perfect! BEYOND cute! They will love showing them to the class!
Your projects came out beautiful!
Well dang, girl- yours look a heckuva lot better than my boys' posters do. Fab.
Your girls are so precious! They boards look great! A+! haha! You're such an awesome mom, Shelley!
Adorable! I do a similar assignment each year with my class and, trust me, teachers LOVE it when parents participate. And speaking as a mother, yes, you are in for a looong career of doing - I mean helping your girls - projects! Have fun!
You have to love these projects that are for the girls (but really for the moms) to do. I'm a pro at the Star Student posters now and the boys love to have them hanging up in their toy loft afterwards.
The posters are fabulous...I know your girlies will love sharing them with their class. They might even take most of the credit if they are like mine were when we did a project TOGETHER! And about the science fair...BEWARE..I have HELPED with everything from the history of bubblegum to spiderweb design! I can't bare to toss them, I put so much work into them, maybe my grandchildren (years from now) will get some use out of them. Have a wonderful day!
Looks wonderful.. simple, graphic and it lets the girl's shine. Best of all you are done! I am a digital scrapbooker, but miss the cutting and pasting at times. .. You did great!
I agree simple is best! Especially when your kids are sooooo stinkin cute!
Wonderful job! I think the teacher will be blown away. :) How cool that the twins have different colored eyes. All of the twins in my family are fraternal, so I never gave eye color a thought before.
I think you should frame them and put them in your house! Love them, great job.
this looks perfect- you go, Mama!!
Beautiful!!!!! I admire how crafty and talented you are!!!!

STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX – The Native American Caucus met yesterday for a presentation on the collection and distribution of transaction privilege tax, which is more commonly called sales tax, on Arizona's Native American lands.
"I appreciate that so many people, including non-Native American legislators, attended our TPT presentation. Amending TPT collection and distribution has been a priority for the Native American caucus for years," Rep. Sally Ann Gonzales, D-Tucson (District 3), said.
At the meeting, Elain Smith, representing the Arizona Department of Revenue's Office of Economic Research and Analysis, gave the caucus an overview of Arizona's TPT system. In fiscal year 2015, the state collected more than $46.3 million in TPT revenue from Arizona's Native American nations. However, Native American nations received only about $2.6 million in the form of state funding for the Diné College and the Navajo Technical College.
"It is important to discuss this issue at the legislature because our current TPT collection and distribution system is racially biased and its inequity harms our Native American communities. Significant revenue is generated for the state on Indian land, but our reservations are left out of the distribution of that money," Rep. Albert Hale, D-St. Michaels (District 7), said.
Rep. Gonzales agreed that the return to Native American nations is too low.
"Currently, Diné College and Navajo Technical College are the only Native American entities that receive TPT revenue. And the money they do receive is less than six percent of the TPT revenue collected on reservations. This system is totally unfair to Arizona's Native American communities," Rep. Gonzales said.
Rep. Jennifer D. Benally, D-Tuba City (District 7), reiterated the importance of the Native American Caucus meetings and said she hopes legislators and the public continue to attend.
"Arizonans need to know how much money is collected by the state from all of Arizona's 22 Native American nations, and that the money going back to Indian nations does not reflect their contributions. This is not an issue just for members of the Native American Caucus, but for all state legislators and all Arizonans," Rep. Benally said.

Anyone who's walked along Macquarie St would have noticed the bronze statue of the boar out the front of Sydney Hospital (the city's oldest). Il Porcellino is still there of course. But in recent months the hospital has been undergoing major refurbishment.
To make the scaffolding less of an eyesore the builders have placed large photos of some of the stone figures on the building on a backdrop to the statue.
In a way, this actually makes Il Porcellino even more visually striking than he usually is. He even looks sinister from some angles, particularly at night.

Other counterpart characters from DC Universe.
It first appeared in Justice League of America 29and the concept has been rebooted several times. Earth-Three's history is depicted as a mirror image to that of the Earth we know.
Crisis revealed that Lex Luthorhere called Alexander Luthor, is the only superhero on an Earth otherwise occupied entirely by villains, most of whom are reversed analogues of heroes on other DC Earths. DC used Crisis on Infinite Earths to simplify its complex continuity and multiverse into a single narrative set on a single universe, not counting the antimatter universe which was integral to the story of how the Green Lantern villain Sinestro acquired his powers.
Editorial mandate initially meant stories featuring the Crime Syndicate were entirely unavailable to writers, but DC later attempted to reintroduce the Crime Syndicate without the setting of Earth-Three in 's Justice League Quarterly 8, which featured a lois of aliens from the planet Qward the antimatter counterpart of Oa who functioned as "more powerful" Justice League analogues.
Morrison recast much of Earth-Three's history as that of the Antimatter Universe's own version of Earth, which is home to the Crime Syndicate of America. He makes notable departures to this formula however, by presenting this world as the product of an alternate history and by reimagining various Crime Syndicate members for example, by recasting Owlman as Batman's brother Thomas Wayne, and by recasting Ultraman not as the alien Kal-El but a human astronaut who acquires Kryptonian abilities.
The story supposedly takes place as the first time Superman and Batman figure out each other's identities, and matches Batman, Superman, and Deathstroke against their respective antimatter selves. The story is told by Mr. Mxyzptlk and may lane be completely untrue. In the final issue of the issue weekly series 52 ina new Multiverse is revealed, originally consisting of 52 parallel realities. Among the parallel realities shown is one deated "Earth-3". As a result of Mister Mind "eating" aspects of this reality, it takes on visual aspects of the pre-Crisis Earth-Three.
The name of the new Earth-3 team is revealed to be the Crime Society of America. The Crime Society are considered to be earth versions of the heroes of Earth-2, acting as a new Golden Age counterpart to the Antimatter Earth. The pre-established Crime Syndicate of Amerika from the Antimatter Universe were then featured heavily in TrinityDC's third year-long weekly series. DC again rebooted its continuity in as part of The New Inthe " Trinity War " crossover event reintroduces Earth It is mentioned as the home of true evil and of the Crime Syndicate and that it was destroyed by an unknown entity.
The Crime Syndicate is largely modeled after Morrison's, with the introduction of new characters, and by re-envisioning Ultraman once again as an alien with an origin story which more closely parallels Superman's.
Earth-three
Sea King also inhabited Earth-3, but quickly died after passing through the gateway to New Earth. At the end of Superman 8, it is revealed that Superman's son, Jon Kentarrived on Earth-3 where he is confronted by the Crime Syndicate after leaving his grandfather, Jor-El.
He was sent into a volcano where Ultraman kept him prisoner and described Jon's predicament to him, being stuck on another Earth. From what was shown, it appears that Ultraman kept Jon prisoner for years until Jon formulated a plan to escape and eventually did so. He sought out the heroes of this universe and found the Earth-3 version of the Hall of Justice. But, it turned out to be the headquarters of the Crime Syndicate, and Jon is confronted by Superwoman, who is apparently the wife of Ultraman. Later, Young Justice found themselves trapped on Earth-3 after traveling through several different Multiverse Earths.
They were soon attacked by their evil counterparts from that world. Following 52another version of the character appeared, apparently being killed by quantum energy unleashed from Monarch, in the Earth dimension, along with his entire team, the Crime Society.
The antimatter Ultraman was a human astronaut, whose ship was imploded into hyperspace and an unknown alien race reconstructed Kent in an attempt to repair the damaged astronaut, which ended up altering the human both mentally and physically, giving him ultrapowers. The process also twisted his mind. Ultraman's power relies on his proximity and exposure to a substance called Anti-Kryptonite; the longer and farther he is separated from it, the weaker he becomes.
Ultraman is unhappily married to his Crime Syndicate teammate Superwoman. He later died in Final Crisis. In The New 52Ultraman comes from a version of Krypton whose people worship strength and despise weakness. When he arrives on Earth, he decides to blend into society until he is ready to conquer the planet, and puts into slavery a young abusive couple of drug addicts. When he turns seven, he murders them and burns down their farm.
As Clark Kent and later on Ultraman, he went on to found the Crime Syndicate and take over the world. This version of Ultraman is empowered by Kryptonite and even snorts it like a drug and is weakened by sunlight.
After being defeated by the Justice League, Ultraman is in the custody of the authorities. Following 52another version of the character appeared. A young new Owlman with a different costume and helmet later appears in the same book battling the Jokester. This Owlman appears again in Countdown 31, assisted by a team referred to as the Crime Society. He was apparently killed by quantum energy unleashed from Monarch, in the Earth dimension, along with the rest of his teammates.
In the antimatter universe, Thomas Wayne, Jr. Young Bruce is killed along with his mother by a policeman when Thomas, Sr. Thomas, Jr. While Ultraman is the leader of the Syndicate, Owlman is the brains behind the group. Further complicating issues is that Owlman has carried on a longtime affair with Ultraman's wife Superwoman. Ultraman is aware of the affair, but due to Owlman having undisclosed photographic blackmail material against the villain, he is unable to seek retribution against Owlman for the betrayal.
In The New 52Thomas, Jr. He grows up to become Owlman and s the Crime Syndicate. He had a secret affair with Ultraman's wife and teammate Superwoman.
Thomas takes Richard Grayson under his wing and trains him to become his sidekick, Talon. After being defeated by the Justice League, Owlman is mentioned to still be at large. He is also present at the birth of Superwoman's child, who is later used by Darkseid's daughter, Grail, to resurrect her father.
He then takes the Mobius Chair from Batman and downlo Grid into the chair, leaving the battle. In the epilogue, he is seen conversing with Metron on the Moon.
As he is about to ask the chair the secrets of the Universe, himself and Metron are obliterated by an unknown entity. Following 52another version of the character appeared as a member of the Crime Society.
This Superwoman is Lois Lane and Ultraman's wife, like her antimatter counterpart. She is apparently killed by quantum energy unleashed from Monarch, in the Earth dimension, along with the rest of her teammates. Her true past and identity are still a mystery. She carries the lasso of submission, which compels the tied individual to obey and love the wielder. She is pregnant and engaging in a secret affair with Owlman, while being married to Ultraman. It is revealed that Superwoman is also in a relationship with the crazed Alexander Luthor, who is the father of her. She betrays Ultraman and the Syndicate, revealing her child is prophesied to bring the world to an end.
After being defeated by the Justice League, she is placed in captivity. Immune to Wonder Woman's lasso of truth, she does not reveal any information. Following 52another version of the character appeared, as a member of the Crime Society. He is apparently killed by quantum energy unleashed from Monarch, in the Earth dimension, along with the rest of his teammates. In the antimatter universe, Johnny Wally West 's counterpart receives his powers by injecting himself with a drug called "Speed Juice".
He is addicted to it and goes into massive physical withdrawal without it. As part of the Tribute the world's leaders pay the Crime Syndicate, they supply Quick with this drug. His real name is unknown. Johnny had a predecessor Barry Allen 's counterpartwhom he killed and whose blood was used to create the drug.
In Justice League of America 51, Jesse Chambers says "This Johnny Quick has my father's face", implying that the name is more than coincidence and that her father and the former Antimatter Johnny Quick Barry Allen's counterpart are genetically the same person. He is a high-profile criminal, on the run with his equally criminal girlfriend, Rhonda Pineda. Together they have committed several crimes, many of them against police officers like Detective MardonSergeant Scudder and Officer Walker.

Captain Cold uses his freeze gun to freeze Johnny Quick's leg and break it off. He wis apparently killed by quantum energy unleashed from Monarch, in the Earth dimension, along with the rest of his teammates.
In the antimatter universe, original Power Ring Joseph Harrolds tricks an unnamed, cowardly slave marine Kyle Rayner 's counterpart into accepting the ring and the power lamp that contains the mad god Volthoom.

St. Joseph's Institute of Management
The JOSEPHITE tradition started in Bangalore with the opening of the St. Joseph's European High School by the Paris Foreign Mission Fathers in 1858. In 1884, St. Joseph's College was established. It has grown steadily and today has more than 8000 students enrolled at the Undergraduate and Post Graduate courses in Arts, Science, Commerce, Computer and Management disciplines in its four independent Colleges namely, St. Joseph's College (Arts & Science), St. Joseph's College of Commerce, St. Joseph's Evening College and St. Joseph's College of Business Administration (SJCBA).
The Jesuit Fathers, however, came into the picture in 1937 when the Paris Foreign Mission handed over all Joseph's Institutions to them.

Some 1,800 Greater Pittsburgh men and women spent a half hour on the phone late last year answering an expansive battery of questions about themselves, their circumstances, and views on everything from how tax dollars should be spent to how happy they are. It was, by any standard, the most…
African Americans in Pittsburgh: The newcomer experience
by Ben Schmitt
In 24 years, Marisa Bartley had never heard the "n-word" hurled at her by a white person. One day, it hung in the air in the lobby of a Verona bank, where she worked as a branch manager. A disgruntled male customer stood on the other end with an enraged…

The Young People Myth
In the not-too-distant past, Border Guard Bob was thought to have been a good idea. He was the amusing face of a short-lived marketing campaign to staunch the flow of Pittsburgh's young to other cities, a problem perceived by some of the region's civic-minded to be grave enough to warrant…
Pittsburgh Today & Tomorrow 2012
A few years ago, a model that University of Pittsburgh researchers use to help them assess local demographic trends suggested the day was coming. Last year brought further evidence that it, in fact, has arrived: southwestern Pennsylvania has finally turned the corner to become a place where more people arrive…
A Clearer Reflection
For a college course, the assignment seemed simple enough, if not mundane: Ride a Port Authority bus into a city neighborhood and attend a lecture at the YMCA. Things changed, however, when the Duquesne University freshmen heard the neighborhood's name — the Hill District, a historically African American community.
Pittsburgh Today & Tomorrow
Twenty years ago, when newspapers were strong, the coin of the realm for ambitious reporters was winning awards. A slightly caricatured general rule was: The more intractable, insoluble and depressing the issue you wrote about, the more awards you'd win. Newspapers were in the business of problems, not solutions.
This column is the first public glimpse of a project that will yield a great deal of information and understanding of who we are as residents of this region, what we do and how we view our region.

The word ''probiotic'' derives from Greek and loosely translated means ''for life'. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines probiotics as follows: Probiotics are live microorganisms administered in adequate amounts that confer a beneficial health effect on the host.
The digestive tract contains a large number of different bacteria. From the medical point of view, it is desirable that the digestive tract be populated with the right or "good" bacteria that protects the body from pathogens, which have a negative impact on the human body. Healthy bacteria are fight pathogenic bacteria and prevent them from multiplying in the intestines. Furthermore, probiotics produce substances as for example certain fatty acids, which reduce intestinal pH and help destroy harmful bacteria.
Another active ingredient is a prebiotic – prebiotics are a healthy non-digestible food ingredient that induce the growth or activity of microorganisms in the intestinal microflora and improve the health of the consumer. The most common prebiotics are inulin, fructooligosaccharides and galactooligosaccharides. Prebiotics increase the number and activity of bifidobacteria (to a lesser extent, lactobacilli) in the gut. This is called the prebiotic or bifidogenic effect, which improves the immune system, participates in improving mineral absorption (especially calcium and magnesium) and affects lipid metabolism. In AkuPRO, fructooligosaccharides make up a significant share of prebiotics.
AkuPro is the ideal combination of probiotics and prebiotics, the body's own bacteria that restore the optimal amounts of healthy bacteria in the human digestive tract, helping to maintain a natural and healthy intestinal environment. Probiotics and prebiotics contained AkuPro increase the strain populations capable of fighting pathogens, thus promoting the body's natural defences. AkuPro can be a beneficial addition to any diet and/or cleansing treatment. AkuPRO comes in the form of cellulose capsules and is therefore suitable for vegetarians.
AkuPRO contains 13 probiotic strains, including strains form the well-recognized genus Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. The total content of probiotics per capsule is 20 billion CFU*.
A widespread strain of the species Lactobacillus. Lactobacilli, lactic acid bacteria, are the main parts of the microflora of the digestive system and are commonly found in the human body. In the digestive tract they contribute to a favourable microbial balance and create a natural barrier to infectious microbes. This beneficial bacteria are highly resistant to gastric acid and is able to survive at very low pH values.
Lactobacillus casei can grow in a relatively wide pH range and can therefore be found throughout the entire intestinal tract. Has positive effects on healthy digestion and the immune system.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus has a high tolerance for bile salts and digestive enzymes. It survives the digestive process and kills bacteria that cause severe diarrhoea. Suppresses hypersensitivity and allergic reactions (food allergies) and also helps with lactose intolerance. It is stable at a wide range of temperatures and pH levels.
Bifidobacterium breve has the unique ability to metabolize large amounts of food matters as for example vegetable fibres that are under normal conditions considered indigestible.
Lactobacillus acidophilus the best known and most commonly used probiotic from the genus Lactobacillus. It inhibits the growth of harmful and pathogenic bacteria and due to a significant production of lactic acid, it lowers the pH in intestines.
One of the most important and dominant bacterial strains inhabiting the human digestive tract. Has a positive effect on the normal and healthy functioning of the digestive tract, inhibits the growth of harmful and pathogenic bacteria, and also strengthens the immune system.
Gram-positive, anaerobic bacterial strain inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract of humans and other mammals. Participates in the maintenance of intestinal microbial homeostasis, inhibits harmful and pathogenic bacteria and modulates local and systemic immune response.
A typical bacterial strain that only exists in the intestinal microflora of healthy newborns, infants and young children. Produces a considerable amount of lactic acid, thereby inhibiting a large amount of pathogens. Is involved in the proper development of a healthy immune system.
Highly resistant to gastric and bile acids. Known for its positive effect on cholesterol metabolism - reduces the levels of cholesterol in several ways: by the absorption of cholesterol, by the incorporating of cholesterol into cell membrane and by the metabolism of cholesterol.
Commonly used together with Streptococcus thermophilus as the starter culture in the manufacture of yoghurts. Produces lactic acid, milk protein, metabolizes into amino acids and also produce bacteriocins (substances that are toxic to a variety of pathogenic bacteria).
One of the most widely used probiotic strains in the food industry – in the production of dairy products, fermented beverages and fermented vegetables. It is one of the few probiotic strains that have been granted the GRAS status (General Recognized As Safe).
A less common probiotic strain, characterized by a high natural resistance to antibiotics and various medications. Produces large quantities of bacteriocins, meaning its presence in the digestive tract is toxic for a variety of pathogens.
Has the unique ability to cleave casein (milk protein, which contributes to an allergic reaction to dairy products). Has positive effect on the normalization of the intestinal microflora in case of common gastrointestinal discomforts and more serious imbalances, as for example after strong antibiotic or chemotherapy treatments.
AkuPRO: dietary supplement. Probiotic Complex of 13 strains of vital microorganisms.
Characteristics: 13 probiotic strains and 20 billion live bacteria per daily dose. Suitable during and after the use of antibiotics. This product is gluten-free.

Go Metro Gold Line to Walk for Hope LA!
The 20th annual Walk for Hope L.A. to benefit research and treatment at the City of Hope is this Sunday — and it couldn't be easier to reach via transit. The Metro Gold Line's Duate/City of Hope Station is just a few feet from the start line for both the 2k and 5K routes!
The Walk for Hope raises money to fight women's cancers with 10,000 participants expected. The City of Hope is one of the country's premiere cancer treatment centers with the main campus in Duarte and satellite offices throughout Southern California.
On Sundays, the Gold Line begins running at 4:20 a.m. and runs every 12 minutes. A regular fare is $1.75, which includes two hours of free transfers — if you don't have a TAP card, buy one for $1 from TAP vending machines at every rail station and then load your fare (here's how).
The train ride from Union Station in downtown Los Angeles is about 40 minutes and it's about 20 minutes from Old Pasadena and five minutes from Azusa. The complete Gold Line timetable is here and includes the bus lines serving each rail station. There is also free parking in garages at the Sierra Madre Villa Station, Arcadia Station, Monrovia Station, Irwindale Station and both Azusa stations (pro tip: the Sierra Madre Villa garage in eastern Pasadena is the largest).
Below is the system map for those new to Metro Rail. Have a great walk and thank you in advance to everyone for riding the train and supporting the fight against cancer!


Segmentation genes Like all insects, the fruit fly has a segmented body plan. When the basic dorsal-ventral and anterior-posterior axes of the fruit-fly embryo have been established, segmentation genes control the differentiation of the embryo into individual segments. These genes affect the number and organization of the segments, and mutations in them usually disrupt whole sets of segments. The approximately 25 segmentation genes in Drosophila are transcribed after fertilization; so they don't exhibit a genetic maternal effect, and their expression is regulated by the Bicoid and Nanos protein gradients.
Mutation of Krüppel causes the elimination of anterior segments.


When we remodeled this home the first time in early 2008, the homeowners chose to leave the decks largely untouched. They'd purchased the home in January, and we had only 6 months to renovate the entire home's interior and get it ready for the summer; framing and finishing new decks was not in the timeframe nor the budget during this phase. To be honest, they needed some serious love, and now we're finally getting to do that. Ted Cushman has been documenting the build and a few different things we're using along the way.

Fujitsu Lifebook T4410 review
We review the Fujitsu Lifebook T4410 to see whether it is a tablet that eases IT managers' headaches or just makes them worse.
by: Mike Jennings
1. Fujitsu Lifebook T4410 review
We've seen a handful of Lifebooks in the past, but this is the first time we've seen a tablet PC from Fujitsu's extensive business range and, thanks to the release of Windows 7, it could finally be the right time to invest in one of these touch screen machines.
After all, Microsoft's well-received OS comes with a raft of features designed to benefit touch machines: the built-in handwriting recognition software is now more able to adapt to and learn from the user's handwriting style, for instance, and Microsoft's Windows 7 Touch Pack includes several games and demos designed to show off the numerous capabilities of the new OS. It's even possible to upscale the size of icons and text to make them touch-friendly.
Fujitsu's impressive panel does a good job of showing off the touch features of the new OS, too: it's responsive and accurate across the entirety of its 1,280 x 800 native resolution, and it's best navigated by using the stylus included with the machine.
It's a stylish, pen-shaped instrument that comes with a couple of extra features: two buttons can be customised (although we reckon you'd be mad to stray from the default right-click setting) and the screen includes both multi-touch - so pictures and web pages can be scrolled and rotated using gestures - and an ambient light sensor.
The hardware mostly works well, too. The screen feels sturdy enough to stand the rigours of daily use, and the catch can be reversed to lock the screen against the T4410's base. There's also a row of five function buttons in one corner, which can be used to scroll up or down documents or rotate the screen's orientation through 90 degrees.

Round-table discussion "Digital Future of NPP Control Systems - What Will It Be Like?" will be held at ATOMEXPO-2018 on May 15, 2018 from 10 a.m. to 13 p.m. The discussion will be organized by JSC Rusatom Automated Control Systems (JSC RASU).
According to some experts, NPP will be the last place for IIoT to be implemented. Does this mean that NPP will continue to utilize outdated technologies or is there room for digital transformation? Are the Instrumentation and Control (I&C) systems of NPP amenable to new technologies, including IIоT, considering all the requirements related to fault tolerance and safety? How do we keep the balance between safety and progress in NPP automation?
Digitalization of I&C systems for NPP: is this possible?
How to achieve balance between digitalization, efficiency and security?
What digital solutions for I&C systems are already essential today?
The industry is global yet the standards for I&C systems are different. Why is this the case?
What is the value of global alliances for the industry development? Why should the industry players enter such alliances?
Such burning issues cannot be discussed in isolation, the opinions of all interested parties shall be taken into account.
Knowing this, we invite the representatives of international companies - players of the global NPP I&C market, the Russian and overseas clients and partners of ROSATOM and JSC RASU, regulatory bodies, leading companies of the allied industries, persons from the expert community and others join the discussion.
Among the guest speakers, there will be the representatives of the Russian and foreign companies: Mikhail Chudakov (IAEA), Dmitry Chichikin (WANO), Andrey Butko (JSC RASU), Philippe Sauvard (Framatome), Andrey Dukhvalov (Kaspersky Lab), Peikert Grischa (Siemens AG), Alexey Kovalevich (JSC ETC GET), Maher Chebbo (GE Power), Konstantin Komissarov (Schneider Electric Russia), Sun Yongbin (CTEC CGN).

What is the best way to convert MPEG-2 videos to MP4 H.264?
I've been playing around, trying to find the best settings for converting DVD files (MPEG-2) to H.264 so that I can store everything in iTunes and watch it on the TV. Most of the stuff I have has been ripped using a DVD Recorder. I am in the UK and am using the PAL format. I want to keep it as true to the original as possible, including all interlacing.
If I use Handbrake, it tries to crop bits off and resizes to a weird dimension, so I have to work to switch all of that off. Also, even if I try to turn off all the decombing and deinterlacing options, including putting the :interlaced flag in the advanced options, when I play it back on the TV it has somehow destroyed the interlacing and no longer appears smooth.
I've also tried VisualHub, which is much more simple to set up and keeps the interlacing in fine by default. I find that also converting to H.264 using MPEG StreamClip works just as well. However, one thing I have noticed while converting a TV programme about Pink Floyd is that the conversion to H.264 is making some of the colours washed out. On the computer, the green seems a bit lighter, and on the TV the red looks more like pink. Here's a screen grab from QuickTime Player (left one is MPEG-2 and the other two are MP4 H.264):
Also, ripping from TV keeps some lines at the top of the screen which contain white dots (some kind of syncing data?)... If I crop the video so it removes them then obviously that makes the aspect ratio wrong... Does that affect how it will play back on a TV?
If anyone has some good tips on how best to rip stuff, please let me know!

It's odd that Handbrake doesn't work out for you. I may not be that into the details of videos but I don't recall any encoding (or rather, transcoding) issues in any video I've converted with it. I swear by Handbrake, I use it all the time. – Jason Salaz Dec 30 '11 at 16:28
I find Handbrake overly confusing and it has a bad UI (no drag-and-drop is pretty poor by today's standards). But I know a lot of people swear by it. I'm sure it's good for converting movie DVDs, but have you ever used it to convert interlaced content, and managed to keep it correctly interlaced? – Jowie Jan 4 '12 at 11:41
Handbreak is the best option out there. You would be best served going to their forums and getting help finding the right custom settings. For one thing if your source is interlaced, you must deinterlace to get any kind of decent result. Color issues might be solved by using High 4.1 profile and upping the bit-rate. – Tyr Apr 21 '12 at 21:28
I will have a look at their forums and keep an open mind, thanks. However you say I must deinterlace, but it's horses-for-courses. I want to keep the interlacing because I am encoding video for playback on a TV. If I deinterlace the frame rate is cut in half, which I do not want to do! I want it as near to the original as poss. – Jowie Apr 22 '12 at 11:33
If you're using an Apple TV to play this content on the TV I share your pain, and the time to convert everything is also a pain! This is an alternative suggestion, not an answer to your question.
If your main goal here is to simply watch the content, and you'd prefer not to have to rip, then perhaps XBMC to simply view it may be a better option for you (it was for me).
I gave up transcoding everything months ago because of the problems you describe, the long time it took to do it, and all of the steps to get it from the PVR and disc initially into iTunes. I then found XBMC for Mac; it plays the vast majority of formats without the need to convert anything, and maintains it's own library created from wherever you store the files. Obviously it won't be in iTunes, but I don't see that as an issue as most of the content is transitory and I don't keep it for long.
If you do use an Apple TV, then you could airplay to it while running XBMC, or if you're daring, you could jailbreak the device and install XBMC on it and share the folder with the shows.
AlanJCAlanJC
It's a nice idea… It would avoid any transcoding and would mean I could store perfect copies of my DVDs for playback. Unfortunately, I own a 3rd gen Apple TV and I don't think it's jailbreak-able (yet?). Ultimately I would prefer something that would run through iTunes, that way I can store and search for everything in the same place. – Jowie Jan 10 '13 at 9:57
I'm now gonna mark this as the correct answer... With the advent of the new Apple TV, and using Plex, I will be able to play proper non-transcoded content, hopefully keeping all interlacing in tact. I haven't tried yet, but wondered if Beamer might work as well (although I think it transcodes to MPEG-4 on the fly)... – Jowie Jan 4 '16 at 14:53
The solution I use for converting MPEG2 from DVD image or EyeTV recording to iPod-friendly MP4 H264 is based on HandBrakeCLI, the command line interface of HandBrake. It is also possible to use FFMpeg.
The settings are much more complex but offer much more freedom.
I spent some time figuring out what are the best options for me, then I put it in a bash script, so that I just have to give the pathname of the DVD image or the EyeTV recording as an argument to my script.
mouvicielmouviciel
I thought HandBrake was just a UI fro FFMPEG anyway? Do you have a list of settings that will convert to H.264 and keep the colour/interlacing correct? – Jowie Feb 9 '12 at 12:31
For colour, I have no clue, I am not a specialist of video codecs. For interlacing, if you don't explicitely specify -deinterlace option, it will remain interlaced. – mouviciel Feb 9 '12 at 13:29
I've tried all sorts of ways of turning off deinterlacing in HandBrake, but none of them work. :( – Jowie Feb 9 '12 at 17:21
I was refering to HandBrakeCLI. I never tried with the GUI to keep interlacing. – mouviciel Feb 9 '12 at 21:04
I will try downloading HandBrakeCLI and giving that a go thanks. Do you have any other best settings to use when converting from MPEG-2 when using HandBrakeCLI? – Jowie Feb 15 '12 at 10:13
Since you didn't specify a budget, and did ask about the "best" way, you should look into using Compressor.
Steve CooleySteve Cooley
That sounds like a nice idea, and I'd be happy to pay $50 for the app if it works well... But since I've used a few compressors so far with varying levels of success, how can I be sure that Compressor will do a better job before I fork out the money? – Jowie Jun 11 '12 at 14:56
Quicktime Player 7 actually has pretty good export capabilities, including H.264. You can download it now for free.
GuillochonGuillochon
That's a very good suggestion and believe it or not, I haven't tried it yet! Couple of things though... I believe MPEG StreamClip technically uses QuickTime for its compression, so I would guess the results would be the same as that (interlacing kept, but colours washed-out)... And secondly, although QuickTimes Player 7 is free, you need to pay for a license to convert and export: store.apple.com/us/product/D3380Z/A/… – Jowie Aug 10 '12 at 7:15
