New York state announces plan for board to help cash-strapped cities
State lawmakers on Tuesday announced plans to create a financial restructuring board and binding arbitration process to help struggling municipalities.
New York state lawmakers on Tuesday announced plans to create a financial restructuring board and binding arbitration process to help struggling municipalities manage their finances.
The legislation, which will be taken up by the state legislature soon, is designed to shore up fiscally distressed communities with shrinking tax bases and high expenses.
"Localities across the state are facing a growing financial crisis of soaring retirement costs while their populations stagnate and property values drop," said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, announcing the deal with the majority leaders in both houses of the state legislature. "The only options for struggling municipalities cannot be bankruptcy or being subject to a financial control board."
The governor did not indicate which cities and towns would likely take part in the new program.
The board would be charged with making recommendations on improving fiscal stability, management and the delivery of public services to municipalities that request its help. The board would be able give communities up to $5 million to make the changes.
The board would also serve as an alternative arbitration panel for negotiations between municipalities and public sector unions, assuming both agree.
In these negotiations, the board would give greater weight to a municipality's ability to pay for services than under current law. The municipality's ability would be weighted at 70 percent of the decision, while other criteria, like age comparison, prior contracts and the public interest, would make up the remaining 30 percent.
State government takeovers of large cities are rare in the United States, though the finances of New York City in the 1970s and Philadelphia in the 1990s were steered by state boards that kept them out of bankruptcy court.
Across the country, there are 23 states with some legal mechanism to address the fiscal problems of cash-strapped localities, according to James Spiotto, a municipal bankruptcy expert at Chicago-based law firm Chapman and Cutler.
For example, the state of Michigan — which has among the strongest oversight powers in the nation — has taken Detroit, its biggest city, through the appointment of an emergency financial manager. The move was triggered by Gov. Rick Snyder's declaration of a fiscal emergency.
Many experts in municipal bankruptcies argue state control of cities and towns is often a better tool than bankruptcy court for fixing strangling debts, revenue shortages and failed big-ticket projects that often tip cities into crisis.
According to the New York bill, the 10-member board would include the budget director, the state comptroller, the attorney general and the secretary of state. The board would also include six members appointed by the governor, including one recommended by the Senate president and one by the speaker of the Assembly.

I can't say I HATE him but I dislike him. He could have played in so many other ways but to manipulate the other HGs with a lie about a fake illness that can be crippling for the people who really have this disease is not right. He's supposed to be extremely intelligent, Mensa member, so show us how smart you are.He reminds me of a little weasel when he has his hoodie on, laying in the bed staring at someone or the spy camera.
you forgot one thing--- "with his hand down is pants all the time."!!!!!!!!!!
I'm with you, pinkitty. Matt has been my favorite since Day 1. He talks a big game, and has so far backed most of it up, but he also knows how to keep it fun, like when he and Britney were playing around with Rachel's hair extentions. I understand that he lied about his wife having a horrible disease, but honestly, people lie in the Big Brother house pretty much every season. Brendon, Andrew, Ragan, and, to a certain extent, Kathy all lied about their jobs. Hell, Natalie last year told everyone she was 18! Lying has become such an integral part of the BB game that I'm shocked that people still get angry about it.And Matt's actually DOING something about getting Brendon and Rachel, arguably the consensus opinion for least-favorite HGs this season, out of the house. Give him some credit for that, people!

Still Spinning
Since I wrote of Cameron's postsecondary funding dilemma last week, not much progress has been made. My head still spins over what options are available, how much funding he will be eligible for, and exactly how much is reasonable to spend out of our own pocket. Is the return on investment of postsecondary education sufficient to offset the loss of those funds for long term lifespan support? As my husband is a fan of saying, "You can only spend money once." What if we spend it one way, but Cameron ends up needing a different level of financial support later on down the road?
Everything being up in the air (still!) with Cameron's next steps has given me pause to ponder what I'd consider an ideal scenario for him: continued academic development, the opportunity to live away from home and hone his independent living skills, access to a semi-structured social setting, and vocational development to aid him in being fully employed upon the program's completion. It's hard to prioritize the items in that list, as I see them all as equally important. The end goal is for Cameron to have the potential to maintain full-time employment and be able to live independently. I'd like for Cameron to quickly earn his way to independence from my support, as well as institutional supports. What will it take to get him there, and how much upfront investment is it worth?
Cameron made the familiar trip to visit his father this past weekend. Midweek last week, Cameron asked me if everything was still on for his trip. I assured him that everything was set, and asked him why he was worried.
"Well, you didn't remind me to tell work I wouldn't be there this weekend."
"Did you tell them you wouldn't be there?"
"Yes. I told them on Saturday."
"Then why did I need to remind you?"
"You just always do."
Case in point of why Cameron and I need an opportunity in which he can be more independent without my constant availability. These unintentional interventions of mine have apparently been something that Cameron has come to rely on.
I'm sure I could find a similar case in point for each of the items in my ideal scenario list. Maybe I need to come to grips with the fact that a pricey program that checks each item on the list isn't the only way to address those items. Maybe, like the financial side, the content side is a lifespan issue. However alluring the one-stop-shopping appeal of two-to-four-year campus-based program is, perhaps there's a more cost effective way to reach the same goals. There are job supports and internship programs to apply for, social groups to join, online and specialty community college courses to look into … The one component that comes to mind as being tricky to replicate without the pricey program is the independent living piece. We'll keep plugging away though. Maybe relaxing a little might be in order. I thought I was going to get to do that when Cameron got accepted into a program … Oh well.

My name is Kelly Landers and I am a remarried mother of four children between the ages of 16 and 25. Two of my children have moved out and two remain at home. We have one cat named Quinn and a puppy named Tasha. We live in
Q ~ Do you have a job outside of stamping? If so, what do you do?
To ensure a steady flow of new red rubber coming into my house, I have a full time job as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. I take call for two local hospitals and attend high risk deliveries or care for sick newborns when needed. Although I am on-call many days a month, I still have a lot of time in my craft room to stamp!
Q ~ What got you into stamping?
About five years ago I bought my first stamps and cardmaking supplies so I could make a homemade card for my Aunt Cindy's 60th birthday. I caught the bug and haven't stopped playing with paper and stamps since. Gradually I have increased my collection of stamps and have made it a part of almost every day!
Q ~ What is your favorite embellishment and why?
That is a hard one!! Not sure I should have to choose just one! LOL!! But I guess it would probably be flowers followed very closely by ribbons!! See, I really can't just choose one!! ;-)
Q ~ What drew you towards Artful Inkables?
The first order of AI stamps I made was because I was in search of a masculine stamp. You guys were one of the few companies I could find that even had masculine stamps as a category. Then as I looked around the site, I was very impressed with the art work and drawings of the stamps. They were unique and inspiring to me!! The masculine stamp was not the only stamp that ended up in my shopping cart that order!
Q ~ Do you have a favorite stamp set from Artful Inkables?
Another hard one…but I think I still love Fairy Whimsey the best! The beautiful fairies, butterflies and flowers make this set so versatile to use for many occasions!
Q ~ How would you describe your stamping style?
I don't think that I actually have a defined stamping style that fits me completely. But I prefer to work with open line stamps and color them to match my Designer paper. When making cards I like feminine cards that are not too frilly with the right amount of layers and embellishments to keep the creation from being cluttered and too busy. I love to rearrange my work until I find what the right balance is on my cards or layouts!
Q ~ What's your favorite part of stamping?
Coloring in my stamped images is by far my favorite part of stamping.
Q ~ What is your favorite non-card type project?
I also love to scrapbook and used to do it a lot more. Lately I have been getting back into it and forgot how much I love it!
Q ~ Have you been published?
I have not been published to date, however I have my first submission accepted being published in May this year. A card I made will appear in the PaperCrafts special publication Card Creations, Volume 8
Q ~ What is your favorite coloring medium? Why?
Copics, Copics, Copics!!! I love Copics!! Can you tell!! LOL!! The reason I love them so much is that because of their alcohol base, they are perfect to blend with. I find it easy to match the colors in my Designer Papers and can also add depth and shadowing to my images for a more realistic look.
Q ~ Tell us about your blog… (i.e. is it all stamping, or a mix of other things?)
My blog is called My Bucket Overfloweth. The "bucket" represents my life and it is overflowing with all the things that I have been blessed with. I have a strong passion for many things, but the main thing that I blog about is my stamping and papercrafting. I do throw in a few personal tidbits here and there, but mostly share my creations with my readers! I update my blog 4- 7 times a week depending on how much my life is overflowing in any given week! I would love for you to come and visit me. The url is www.mybucketoverfloweth.blogspot.com
Q ~ Is there anything else you would like to share with us?
I am so thankful to have the honor of being chosen by Jackie to share my story and a couple of my creations with you. I love the stamping community and have made so many friends that share in this crafty passion with me. I can't imagine my life without stamping in it and I am so grateful for companies like Artful Inkables who provide the rubber for us to create with! I would love to get to know all of you better, so I encourage you to look me up on my blog, on Facebook (Kelly Mahany Landers) or on Splitcoaststampers.com (kmahany). Thanks so much for your time, and may your bucket overflow with the happiness that stamping provides!!
Now you know all about Kelly Landers! I simply love the first card on this post, her Fairy Whimsy creations is just magical, and this masculine card is fabulous!
Kelly also created this adorable Daring card just for today's feature, isn't he too cute! Thank you so much for sharing so much of yourself with us Kelly, I know that I had a blast getting to know you better and I hope everyone else did as well! Oh, and thank you for being our first customer in our Featured Stamper Friday!

April 17, 2009 - Whether you loved the mystery surrounding the first Assassin's Creed or not doesn't really matter. Nearly everyone I have talked to, and even in my own opinion, agrees it was a great game to play. The idea behind the creed and mission-based assassinations was a fun concept. Ubisoft Montreal thinks people need another go around in the world of assassins, and we agree. The problems most frequently encountered with the first are being retooled and turned into something fresh, innovative, and, undoubtedly, wrapped tight in mystery.
The first Assassin's Creed took place in 1191 during the Crusades, with players controlling Altaïr, an arrogant member of the Assassins seeking to reclaim his honor. This time around, we advance some 300 years. Set in 1476, in Italy, players will not only be interacting with new surroundings but with a new character as well, Ezio Auditore de Firenze. It will become quickly apparent that Ezio is no Altaïr. Ezio has had a privileged life, is a nobleman, and it is unclear what his direct relation is to Altaïr and Desmond is - and Ubisoft is not sharing all of the info. In fact, the only thing known is that Ezio eventually winds up alone and on a quest for vengeance against some of the most powerful families in Italy. For those concerned with whether the Assassin's and the Templar's war is still raging, don't worry, they are still very pivotal to the narrative of Assassin's Creed II, even though they may reside more in the shadows than they did in the first title.
The environment is one of the changes that the team is bringing to Assassin's Creed II. Unlike the first, with its wide-open wilderness between cities, this time around things feel more connected throughout the cities and surrounding landscapes. Missions, story development, and hidden secrets will be spread out through the environment, giving not only a stronger need to explore the environments than before but also a greater sense of the era itself. Ramifications of nobles fighting, the church's influence, and merchant families vying for land and profit are beautifully and accurately portrayed. Ubisoft went the extra mile and brought in University of Notre Dame professor of history Margaret Meserve to consult on the time period. One example of the true events incorporated is the assassination attempt of Lorenzo de' Medici during a Sunday mass. I won't ruin the depth of that story, but know that it is a good read and definitely ties into the Italian Mafia stories of modern day. Events like this and environments resembling historic cities like Venice and Florence will undoubtedly intrigue history buffs on a whole new level.
The intrigue doesn't stop there either. Several things have been tweaked to make the experience different but still very much reminiscent. For instance, the health system of the first game relied heavily on you being in synch with the memory to refill you health. This time around, the same holds true but only to a certain point. If you have been injured and your health meter has only recharged to a certain level, you will need to seek out a street-side doctor to refill your health the entire way. Collectibles have also been adjusted to serve a better function. Instead of just collecting the flags, statues, gold coins, and other various items, all of them will come with in-game bonuses or awards for the players going out of their way to obtain them. Another modification includes a reworked leap and grab maneuver to make traversing buildings much easier and more enjoyable. In addition to this, more free-running paths have been clearly marked by white flags in the game. It will operate in the same manner as birds on ledges that signify an appropriate hiding spot. There will be a few extra types of hiding spots as well, including a merchant's pile of wool, carts filled with a fisherman's fresh catch, and several more. Probably my favorite of the new hiding spots is in the water. Yes, finally you will be able to swim, and you can use it as a hiding spot for as long as Ezio can hold his breath.
Along with the new hiding spots comes a much-anticipated and welcomed ability: assassinating from cover. This was something I expected in the first, since there was a huge emphasis on using to cover. I don't know how many times I wished I could just pop out of hiding and rid myself of my pursuer. This time around we will also have an easier time of using the stealth blade, or should I say blades, which opens up the possibility of assassinating more than one person at a time. These new stealth blades were designed, as shown on the teaser site for Assassin's Creed II, by Leonardo da Vinci. Another modification to the stealth blades is if your target is unaware of you, then you will no longer need to select the blades to use them. Instead, they will automatically be used. This is also a great thing to hear, since, more often than not, in the beginning of the first title, it became more of a chore to remember to equip the stealth blade.

Mountain Landscape
Elliott Daingerfield
Mountain Landscape, c.1900
Watercolor on Paper
Permanent Collection 2006.2.33
John Elliott Parker Daingerfield (1859 - 1932) has been recognized as one of North Carolina's most important artists. Daingerfield was born in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, but he was raised nearby in Fayetteville, NC. Daingerfield knew early on that he wanted to be an artist. Inspired by other American artists of the age, such as his friend and mentor George Inness, Daingerfield grew into a prolific American painter. After moving to New York in 1880 to pursue his passion at the age of 21, he enrolled and exhibited at the National Academy of Design and took classes at the Art Students League. By 1886, Daingerfield fell ill and returned to Blowing Rock to heal. He later chose to spend his summers here to paint and study the landscape of the Blue Ridge Mountains. He built several homes, including Edgewood, Windwood, and Westglow, all three of which still stand today. The remainder of his career consisted of traveling back and forth from New York to North Carolina to teach, draw, and paint.
Daingerfield is best known for his paintings of landscapes, religious scenes, and still lifes. His style shows influences of impressionism, with light and color dominating a painting's composition and hints of tonalism are also present, as seen in his darker paintings. Daingerfield was trained traditionally and rejected realism. He began a painting with small studies — quick sketches in pencil, and then continued with smaller versions of what would soon be large, polished works of art. He also felt a deep, spiritual connection with nature and often painted en plein air. The mountains surrounding Blowing Rock were a constant source of inspiration.
Daingerfield passed away in his studio in New York in 1932 and was buried in his hometown of Fayetteville, NC.

Esurance reviews and ratings >
Apartment renters insurance typically covers you and your personal property, like your clothes, sports equipment, smartphone, TV, and more. More [+]
It even protects your stuff outside your home. Lose your laptop after locking it in the car? Your rental insurance policy can help you replace it. Same goes for things stolen or damaged at the gym, at the coffee shop, or at a friend's.
And if your apartment or rental home is damaged by fire or vandalism, for example, you're going to need a place to crash while the landlord takes care of business. Your policy helps cover the cost of your hotel room and other additional living expenses.
Your landlord should have insurance that protects the building itself, but that policy won't include anything you bring in with you. More [+]
Thankfully, a renters policy is surprisingly affordable. Renters coverage from Esurance provides superior protection for just $14 a month on average.**
The amount you pay for your policy will vary, but this gives you an idea of the average cost before getting your free quote.
By adding renters coverage to your car insurance quote or existing auto policy, you could qualify for the Renters Plus® discount, which provides additional savings on your car insurance premium.***
If you have questions about an existing policy, here's how you can get in touch. More [+]

December 18th. BR 2011. The planets of the Saban System lie in opposition, and plots make themselves known, as this is an occurrence that only happens once in a thousand years...
FELC Worldfiles Database wrote:The Saban System is a major resource for the Core Crystal movement. Core Crystals, the green, shining blades used by infantry throughout the Brikverse provide an effortless method for advanced infantry weaponry. It is rumored that the original Nova Blade was crafted from a Core Crystal.
The power of a Core Crystal is directly relative to the time it is harvested- on Saban, the furthest planet from it's system's sun, it depends on the gravitic patterns of the system's four planets. Dec. 18th will be the day of maximum power. We expect raids from no less than thirty factions on Saban Hold, currently a neutral trade center. Advise withdraw from Saban airspace to minimize troop losses.
FELC Command Order Line wrote:At the Fleet Admiral's discretion, Operation code name Forever Day will take place on Saban to attempt to harvest what limited materials we can from the Hold. It will be a high-risk hit and run mission. Casualties are expected, SHEATH-Class Stealth Fighters to be on hand to record actions over Saban. Stand by for further orders.
Saban is a hostile planet, with a resource valuable in the day-to-day warfare of the Immortal War. On the 18th, FELC Command will attempt to capture footage of the war hitting Saban, the day of maximum resources.
Rules for this short-notice challenge:
-This isn't exactly a battle, more an opportunity to mess with the factions you have on hand.
-There won't be a winner of this battle. Just your individual reports.
-Saban has many Holds scattered across it's surface. Prominent features are wide-open plains outside of the Holds, the low-quality neon green Core Crystals left lying about from mining operations, and the small mining Holds themselves.
-Command doesn't have many ships on hand to record footage. 5 pictures for each action report will suffice.
-Tell a story of the minor engagement you recorded in your post.
-Submit the pictures and story below.
Any questions?

Bensalem is a city in Pennsylvania.
Bensalem, Pennsylvania is a residential suburb conveniently located next to the bustling metropolis of Philadelphia. It connects to the city at it's northeastern point of the city. However, just because it's residential, don't assume that it's only houses and fast food chains. There are a few interesting gems nearby without even entering Philadelphia.
Bensalem is also a perfect place to stay if you want to avoid the hustle, bustle and high prices of the inner city. Buses and trains are available nearby, as well as an accessible car rental service.

The Trenton Line Regional Rail, the train which passes through Cornwell's Heights, takes you to all of the major stops in Philadelphia, within walking distance of many major attractions in the inner city. Taking the train is less stressful and cheaper than driving in the inner city.

Maryellen wrote:he should be health testing his stock. to not health test is taking a crap shoot at the pups when they are born. and to cull the non working ones, well i disagree with that as well. i totally disagree and feel that no breeder regardless of who and what they are breeding for should be breeding right now..
Actually Maryellen I agree with the health testing part however I know 2 litters that are planned for this year where it is a last chance for the females as they will be too old. One has never been bred and will be spayed after the pups and the other has been a planned breeding since 2003 with the female in question having been bred 1 time, is a GR CH and health tested as is the sire. I am getting a pup out of the second litter for sure but doubt it on the first.
The first kennel's last litter was 4 years ago and the second's was 2 1/2 years. I know where all the pups of both litters are right now and those that aren't spayed or neutered have never been bred with no plans for either. The second breeder in fact has 2 from the litter ad the other 2 are in homes. The 2 in homes will 99% positively never be bred as will the male at the breeder.
When playing breeding police everything has to be looked at. The quantity breeders and the ones that do "it's only 2 litters" a year are the ones that are overboard IMO. Even Lora has a date planned for Doodle who is coming 6. Presley was her last litter but she should not breed Doodle this year and thus need to spay her because the breeding police saw things in black and white?

OSS4 (with vmix0 enabled) has nearly everything you're likely to use from ALSA + PulseAudio.
It doesn't include a network sound server (like pa does), but that's a security advantage (pulse has at least one security vulverability in its history, and we shall see if there are more). It does have per-application volume control and a virtual mixer, which leaves only network sound as a reason for using pulse. Unlike pulse, it has a history of better audio quality.
The Squeeze packages won't work with new kernels, but upstream includes at least two build targets to make debs.

Scripture: Numbers 20:2 Now there was no water for the community, and the people gathered in opposition to Moses and Aaron. 3 They quarreled with Moses and said, "If only we had died when our brothers fell dead before the Lord! 4 Why did you bring the Lord's community into this wilderness, that we and our livestock should die here? 5 Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to this terrible place? It has no grain or figs, grapevines or pomegranates. And there is no water to drink!" (NIV)
Observation: These are the people God had delivered from Egypt with the ten plagues! These are the people who walked through the Red Sea on dry ground! These are the people who were eating manna! These were the people whose shoes did not wear out! These people had a problem: a short memory!
Application: When I come to similar situations, may my response be, "Lord, I remember what you did in the past, what are you going to do now?"
Prayer: Lord, you have been good! You have been faithful in every season of my life! Amen
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!

BRISTOL — Dozens of farmers, students and educators from around the county gathered to celebrate the growing farm-to-school movement at Addison County Relocalization Network's (ACORN) Stone Soup summit last Thursday, held at Mount Abraham Union High School.

BRIDPORT — Lawmakers and several dozen Addison County citizens gathered at the Bridport Community Hall for a legislative lunch on agricultural issues, but the hot-button issues discussed over the meal were not directly related to agriculture.
Rather, citizens in attendance wanted to pick legislators' brains over a controversial shoreline conservation bill, H.526, which netted statewide attention after clearing the House late last week, and over a tax package that would lift the tax exemption on items including bottled water, soda, candy and dietary supplements.
VERGENNES — It's rare that scores of Mount Abraham students fill the bleachers of the Vergennes Union High School gym for something other than a basketball game.
But last Friday, hundreds of students from both high schools sat in the same set of bleachers in the VUHS gym to hear a presentation on substance abuse by motivational speaker Kevin Brooks, followed by student-led discussion forums. Meanwhile back in Bristol, students from the Vergennes and Mount Abraham middle schools gathered for workshops on bullying.
BRISTOL — The location may have been rural Vermont, but the ambiance was entirely French at the Mount Abraham Union High School cafeteria last Thursday. French music piped in through the speakers, crisp, white tablecloths dressed up the cafeteria, and students gathered to converse in French over a gourmet meal prepared by chef Bill Snell of New Haven's Tourterelle restaurant.
LINCOLN — Renaissance Italy came to life last week at the Lincoln Community School with a performance of William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," this year's annual play put on by the school's fifth- and sixth-grade students.
"It's a really fun play," said sixth-grader Lizzie Nault, shortly before the first performance on Wednesday. She played Hero, one of the play's female protagonists.
BRISTOL — The bond that would pave the way for a major upgrade to the Bristol Fire Department's North Street facility may have gone up in smoke on Town Meeting Day with a 587-293 defeat, but the search for an improved firehouse continues.
Despite taxpayers' sound rejection of the proposed North Street upgrade, town officials and members of the Fire Facility Committee said that they were encouraged by the public's overwhelming support for improving the fire department's headquarters, albeit in a different location.
I have a confession to make: Despite growing up in a family of theater people, I never "got" Shakespeare. In fact, though I wouldn't go so far as to say I hated Shakespeare, I pretty much had to be forced to pick up one of his plays. I was also almost always unmoved by the professional productions I saw growing up; "The Tempest," "Macbeth," "Hamlet" and "Midsummer" all had cool sets and costumes, but I still couldn't understand what anyone was saying.
BRIDPORT — A wind turbine is up and running at the Audets' Blue Spruce Farm in Bridport, the second in Addison County that was constructed especially for the Green Mountain Power's Wind Power Program. The turbine, which sits atop a 121-foot-tall tower just off Route 22A, generates around 165,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, about enough to power 23 homes. It also will save around 191,807 lbs. of carbon emissions annually.
ADDISON COUNTY — Last year's sugaring season was the shortest in recent memory. But this year, sugarmakers around Addison County say the season is at least getting off to a sweet start.
"I'm off to the best start I ever had," said Mike Christian, of Village Sugarworks in Orwell. "I've been sugaring for the better part of 40 years, 10 years on my own, and this is the best I've ever seen."
MIDDLEBURY — It's the rare individual that takes real notice of trash receptacles.
But after spending two years making 1,300 photographs of a dizzying variety of garbage containers, Middlebury College student Ryan Kim has developed a bona fide visual study of those objects — and found that the duality of practical function and aesthetic form in them makes them very interesting indeed.

Fire Truck Fun! (known as Flame-It! on the PlayStation version) is a mission in Grand Theft Auto 2 given to protagonist Claude Speed by Zaibatsu leader Red Valdez. The mission is available from the top of the two green Zaibatsu phones in The Village of the Residential District.
The Scientists have developed a new Flamethrower which is being taken across town in a gold Security Van. Valdez tells Claude to jack a Cop Car to pull the Security Van over, then steal it. He then orders Claude to return the Van to the Zaibatsu Village. After he has delivered it, Claude brings a Fire Truck so the Flamethrower can be attached to it. He does so, and Red tests the new weapon out by having Claude kill 30 Rednecks (10 on PlayStation) at the Mobile RV Park.
The reward for completing this mission is $30,000.

Hummina, hummina, hummina. The pucker factor over here just jumped a notch (last Friday). Our Pres. Bush had our Homeland Security Threat raised to Orange (High). This is coming from http://www.fema.gov:
FYI - The levels (ranging from highest to lowest threat) are:"President Bush raised the Homeland Security Advisory System threat level to High Condition (Orange) Friday afternoon. The threat level change was announced by Attorney General John Ashcroft and Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge.FEMA's Are You Ready? A Guide For Citizen Preparedness, updated this past October, offers specific tips on preparing for National Security Emergencies, including terrorism, chemical and biological weapons, and nuclear and radiological attack."
Severe (raining frogs, cats & dogs living together - possible anarchy)
Oh yay. Whether we needed to or not, we are now officially freaking out. "Batton down the hatches!"
Is this in response to what the US and the other nations who have prepared to launch an attack soon or something else?
Also - I just saw something on one of our US news channels last nite. I will say this - I think the world should look a bit closer at N.Korea (maybe the US?) and have Germany, France and Belgium maybe handle Iraq. Reasoning? Maybe we need fresh minds to deal with Husayn and since N.Korea is saying they have a problem with the US - then our country (in alignmnet with maybe S.Kore, China, and Russia) work the N.Korea situation.
Either way I don't think this will move us towards the 'global village' Fmr. First Lady and now Sen. Rohdam-Clinton wanted for us all.

All BioFit products are designed with ergonomics in mind, including our full line of seating solutions
Bowling Green, Ohio (PRWEB) January 17, 2013
BioFit Engineered Products, a leader in furnishing solutions for workplaces worldwide, is dedicated to improving worker safety and productivity through the use of ergonomics. In 2013, the company is encouraging laboratories and other workplaces to make a resolution to place increased emphasis on incorporating ergonomics in order to help create work environments with fewer injuries and greater performance.
"All BioFit products are designed with ergonomics in mind, including our full line of seating solutions," says Ed Metzger, president of BioFit. "By offering full adjustability, a seat that allows for even weight distribution, lumbar support and a five-legged pedestal base, our chairs and stools help protect workers from the musculoskeletal disorders and repetitive motion injuries that can occur when workers are unable to change their position for long periods of time."
Studies also show that the right ergonomics can increase worker productivity. "When people have the freedom to move naturally over the course of a work day," Metzger adds, "they are better equipped to remain attentive, and that has been proven to enhance performance among workers as their workdays extend to eight hours and beyond."
To that end, BioFit offers a complete line of seating solutions that are specifically engineered to meet the demands of various laboratory settings. Static control seating is available, as well as optional antimicrobial finishes and features that ensure an easy wipe-down. BioFit also offers seating options that are clean room rated all the way to Class 1/ISO Class 3. In addition, BioFit works with specifiers to create custom furnishings when needed.
BioFit Engineered Products is a worldwide leader in furnishing solutions designed to fit a variety of workspaces—from laboratory, healthcare, and technology to industrial, educational and office settings. BioFit's earth-friendly, ergonomic seating, mobile folding tables, carts and accessories are creating more comfortable, more durable, and more stylish work environments around the world.

1st Place Team: Winston-Salem State University
Robert Bethea, James Mitchell, Kevin Taylor, and Jack Carlton
Owns 'The Chancellor's Cup' for one year and a Campus Trophy to keep.

The purpose of the fund is to provide scholarship(s) to full-time, permanent non-faculty employees who are taking either undergraduate or graduate level courses at an accredited institution of higher education, or enrolled in approved – short courses, licensure, certificate or continuing education programs that supports staff development. The Fund has been established in memory of Janet B. Royster, a UNC-TV employee who provided important leadership, knowledge and dedication of the UNC Staff Assembly where she served as its first Parliamentarian until her untimely death in June 2011.
The intent of the scholarship is to cover the out-of-pocket expenses for one undergraduate or graduate course per year (tuition, fees, books) to a non-faculty employee after eligibility for tuition free course is exhausted, or for a short-term professional development program as noted above.
Help us reach our $50,000 goal to endow our scholarship and begin awarding funds to deserving staff across the state of NC. Would you like to make a difference? Donate online or send a donation via mail.
Thanks again to our sponsors and everyone that made the UNC Chancellors' Golf Tournament a success!

NBC's Bettis: "New England always plays well when the lights are on brightest"
Madden: "These are two teams that are always up on top"
NEW YORK � Sept. 20, 2006 � "NBC Sunday Night Football" travels to Foxboro this week as the Denver Broncos (1-1) look to regain their playoff form against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots (2-0), Sunday at 8:15 p.m. ET presented in high definition. NBC's coverage kicks off at 7 p.m. ET with the "Football Night in America" studio show, a complete recap of the top stories in the NFL, complete with highlights, analysis and reports from around the league.
Al Michaels (play-by-play), John Madden (analyst) and Andrea Kremer (sideline reporter) will call all the action. Bob Costas (host) and Cris Collinsworth (co-host), analysts Sterling Sharpe and Jerome "The Bus" Bettis, and reporter Peter King of Sports Illustrated, comprise the "Football Night in America" studio team.
Bettis think this could be the game where Broncos QB Jake Plummer finds his rhythm: "Jake Plummer is due for a breakout game and I think this could be it. The Patriots will need to play a really good game to win this one � I have some concerns about their defense, especially the secondary. They've given up some points where they shouldn't have the last two games. But New England always plays well when the lights are on brightest."
Madden: "These are two teams that are always up on top. Denver's always close, but without John Elway, they haven't been able to get over that hump. It's not that you beat New England, you go to the Super Bowl, but you beat New England and now you prove, 'Okay, maybe we have taken that step.'"
NBC's "Sunday Night Football" Washington-Dallas matchup averaged 18.4 million viewers, up 14 percent from last year's second "Monday Night Football" game (16.1 million), which also featured the Redskins at the Cowboys. The game scored an 11.9 household rating/19 share, up 10 percent � and more than a full ratings point � from the second "MNF" game last season (10.8/18 on 9/19/05 Washington � Dallas). The ratings increase is especially impressive given the Cowboys' lopsided 27-10 win, while last year's game featured a Redskins come-from-behind 4th quarter 14-13 victory.
Forty-five million total, unduplicated viewers watched Sunday night's game, up 15 percent from 39 million on "MNF" a year ago.
After three games, "NBC Sunday Night Football" is averaging a 13.0/21, 9 percent higher than "MNF" after three games in 2005 (11.9/20, averages include Thursday night season openers).
The "Football Night in America" studio, just down the hall from the famed Studio 8H, home of "Saturday Night Live," was built in the former studio home of first the Philco Television Playhouse (1948-1955) and later for game shows Concentration (1958-1973) and Jeopardy (1964-1975), and talk shows Donahue (1984-1996) and The Rosie O'Donnell Show (1996-2002), and shares the "SNL" control room for the football season. The "Football Night" set was designed and built by Jeremy Conway, the former set designer for "Sex in the City." Two 103" high definition Panasonic plasma screen televisions � roughly the size of a queen-size mattress � are two of the set innovations.
"NBC Sunday Night Football," the premier primetime game of the week, will be preceded by the "Football Night in America" studio show, which kicks off NBC's regular season coverage each Sunday at 7 p.m. The unprecedented six-year NFL deal includes innovative flexible scheduling and continues through the 2011 season with Super Bowls in 2009 and 2012. NBC has assembled the most honored broadcast team ever: Joining Al Michaels, the commentator called "TV's best play-by-play announcer" by the Associated Press, and John Madden, the most honored NFL broadcaster of all time with 15 Emmy Awards, are Bob Costas, the most honored studio host of all time with 19 Emmy Awards, who will host NBC's "Football Night in America" studio show alongside co-host Cris Collinsworth, the most honored studio analyst in history with six Emmy Awards; and analysts Sterling Sharpe, a five-time Pro Bowler and Jerome Bettis, one of the most popular players in recent NFL history. "NBC Sunday Night Football" coverage also includes sideline and feature reporter Andrea Kremer, whom the Los Angeles Times has called "the best TV interviewer in the business of covering the NFL." Peter King, who covers the NFL for Sports Illustrated and is considered one of the country's foremost NFL reporters, serves as a reporter for the "Football Night in America" studio show.
(Sunday coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET with "Football Night in America" studio show)
Sunday, Sept. 24 � Denver at New England
Sunday, Oct. 1 � Seattle at Chicago
Sunday, Oct. 8 � Pittsburgh at San Diego
Sunday, Oct. 15 � Oakland at Denver
Sunday, Oct. 29 � Dallas at Carolina
Sunday, Nov. 5 � Indianapolis at New England

Open Access Author Fee Fund Policy
Eligible Publications
The venue of publication must be an established open-access journal, that is, a journal that does not charge readers or their institutions for unfettered access to the peer-reviewed articles that it publishes. To be eligible, a journal must meet these additional requirements:
- Be listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (unless the journal is too new for DOAJ eligibility) OR
- Be a member of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association
- Have publicly available a standard article fee schedule.
The ULS has an institutional membership with BioMed Central. The ULS' memberships allows for eligible authors to publish in BioMed Central journals free of author charges by using our institutional code once your application has been approved.
Authors who publish in BioMed Central journals should complete and submit an application form for the ULS' records and to obtain the code. ULS will provide you with the code for the University of Pittsburgh account. Articles that are submitted through this account and go on to be published in BioMed Central journals will have the author fees waived. It is important that authors always contact the ULS prior to submitting an article to a BioMed Central journal because the waiver of author fees is not retroactive. The ULS will not reimburse any author fees that have already been paid by an author.
Journals with a hybrid open-access model or delayed open-access model are not eligible. Any authors who are unsure as to whether or not a particular journal is eligible should contact the ULS prior to submitting an article for publication.
Eligible Authors
Funds are available for faculty, staff, postdoctoral associates, and students served by the ULS and the BARCO Law Library. This includes those at all of the University of Pittsburgh schools except the six schools in the health sciences: Dental Medicine, Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Nursing, Medicine, Pharmacy, and Public Health. Any authors who are unsure as to whether they are an eligible author should contact the ULS prior to submitting their articles to publication.
For authors in the Health Sciences…
Eligibility for this program is limited to faculty in schools supported by the University Library System (ULS). Faculty affiliated with the six schools of the Health Sciences are not eligible for this program.
Eligible Fees
Article processing fees may include publication fees (charges levied on articles accepted for publication, including page charges). Eligible fees must be based on a publication's standard fee schedule that is independent of the author's institution. Reprint fees are not eligible.
Fund Limits
Unused Fund amounts do not roll over to future years. If the demand for funds exceeds expectations, publication charges will be paid to the publisher on behalf of an author on a first-come-first-served basis. Authors are eligible for use of the fund for up to $3,000 per fiscal year. Funds within this limit may be used for multiple publications throught the fiscal year.
Please note: The Open Access Author Fee Fund is exhausted for the 2018-2019 Fiscal Year. We can no longer approve any additional applications for funding. Please check back for updates or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for details.
How to apply for funds
Once an author has a manuscript accepted by a qualifying journal and receives a statement or invoice for publication charges, she or he should submit that paperwork to the ULS using the online application form and e-mail the invoice to email@example.com. (except for BioMed Central journals; applicatiosn should be made prior to submission of a BioMed Central journal). Payment will be made by the University directly to the publisher. Some publishers will bill the ULS directly; in this case we request that you still submit the application form before we will pay the publisher.
Please note: The Open Access Author Fee Fund is exhausted for the 2018-2019 Fiscal Year. We can no longer approve any additional applications for funding. Please check back for updates or e-mail email@example.com for details.
Institutional Repository
As an added service, the ULS will deposit a copy of funded articles in the University of Pittsburgh's institutional repository, D-Scholarship@Pitt. The placement of an article in the repository helps to build the collection of University of Pittsburgh–authored publications, supports the self-archiving arm of the open access movement, and gives the article an added element of preservation and discoverability.

FAQs - International Walking Food Adventure
How does paying for food along the way work?

What are the tour times and location?
The tour is 4 hours commencing SHARP at 10am OUTSIDE the Brass Monkey Hotel, Corner William and James Street North Bridge. We ask that you arrive at 9.45am for registration. The tour ends at approximately 2pm close to our starting point.

Is there a waiting list if the tour I'm interested in is sold out?
We currently do not have a waiting list system. Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com to find out if an additional tour has been added that suits your schedule.
What if there is bad weather?
Tours are conducted rain or shine. A good portion of our time is spent walking outdoors. However, we will take breaks out of the weather along the way, for both the heat and rain.
What type of clothing and shoes should I wear?
We do a fair amount of walking on our tours. You should dress casually and wear comfortable shoes or sneakers. Please wear a rain jacket and bring an umbrella in winter. In summer ensure you have a hat, sunscreen and a bottle of water.
How much food do we eat on the food tasting tours?

Belltown, Seattle Travel Guide
Belltown Summary
- Walk-able neighborhood; no need for public transportation or a rental car in this district
- Stellar waterfront views
- Plenty to do; one of the most happening parts of the city
- Has a reputation of being a "hipper" area of Seattle, full of chic restaurants and coffee houses
- Active nightlife scene; known to get a bit wild on weekends
- Pike Place Market -- a staple in Seattle culture -- lies just south of the neighborhood border
- Expensive restaurants; have to dig for deals
- Major city traffic
- Tends to get noisy, especially on weekends
What It's Like
This edgy, trendy little district -- one of Seattle's fastest growing neighborhoods -- starts at Pike Place Market and extends north to Broad Street. Although Belltown does not feature any main tourist attractions, visitors can enjoy its multitude of restaurants, bars, and clubs to get a taste of nightlife done the Seattleite way.
Some complain about Belltown's noise factor, so it may not be the best part of the city for a family trip; but if you're looking to mingle, wine, and dine, it's a solid option.
Where To Stay
For closest proximity to the tourist sites, stay in the southern part of the neighborhood -- preferably near the water, where you'll have great views and will be within easy walking distance of Pike Place Market. If you'd prefer to be closer to family-friendly attractions like the Space Needle and Seattle Children's Theater, stay to the northwest of the neighborhood.

But to many of the longtime fans, the debate still has not been totally resolved. In truth, the one thing that the fans still TRULY long for is a huge, platforming adventure that lets the two heroes and their friends, possibly, visit each other's worlds, duke it out, and ultimately team up to bring down some greater evil. However, as has been proven before, this request, though seemingly simple, is a lot harder to bring to fruition than it seems. After all, both franchises have always been both known best for their platforming, right? True, but the problem comes in when you consider how radically different the two playstyles between a Mario and Sonic game are. Osamu Ohashi discussed this in great detail, but what he said can be summed up to this:
Then, some time ago, SEGA secured a license to create games based on the Olympics. At that point I came up with the idea of having Mario and Sonic compete with each other in the Olympic games setting. We proposed that idea to Nintendo and they were really positive and interested in the idea, so that is where we started building it into a concrete game proposal.
And now we have a hedgehog and a plumber competing in friendly Olympic-themed competitions. Yup.
This issue seems to be a rather stumping one, and it can be really hard to discern what measures would actually have to be taken in order to create a quality Mario & Sonic adventure. Of course, the guys over here at Retro are all incredibly smart, and I'm quite certain we could come up with some solution. I myself have an idea that I consider to be quite good and I believe covers all the bases that would be required to be present and agreed upon by both Nintendo and SEGA, but I'll stay quiet unless asked for the time being. As of right now, I'd like to hear from you guys, and what your opinions/thoughts/solutions on the matter would be.

When Lance Cade reinvented his Monday Night Raw character on June 16, by aiding Chris Jericho in his match with Triple H, fans reacted to it in one of two ways: either, in confusion as to why Cade -- who had just rid himself of a singing cowboy tag team partner -- was involved in a main event, or with delight as the WWE actually mustered a true surprise, creating a new, young star all the while.
For me, unquestionably, the reaction was the latter.
Cade may have been unproven as a wrestler capable of main or semi-main event status, but here was an athletic competitor with great natural size, who studied his craft under the watchful eyes of Shawn Michaels and later Les Thatcher, and was being given a chance after a largely successful run alongside Trevor Murdoch.
Fast-forward four months and the Nebraska native now finds himself on the WWE scrap-heap, obviously deemed by those in charge to be a failure. Released on the afternoon of October 14, no disciplinary issues were cited for the decision. Even if they currently remain a secret, they were surely no worse than anything perpetrated by the seemingly untouchable Randy Orton over the last few years.
The WWE will likely throw their hands in the air, saying, "We tried; after all, we gave him a main event spot, and even put him over Shawn Michaels on Raw."
But on the idea that Cade was given a chance, I�m calling major B.S.
In the 22 Raw shows and WWE pay-per-views between his June 16 "debut" and the October 14 edition of Raw, Cade scored only two pinfall victories, one over Paul London (Raw, July 21), and one over Michaels, in a tag team match (Raw, Sept 22). In this four-month period, he wrestled a total of four times on Raw or PPV. He may have suffered a broken nose during the bout with London, but it�s hardly justification for such a poor average.
He ran interference to help Jericho triumph on three occasions (Great American Bash on July 20, Raw on Aug 11, and Raw on Aug 18), but was himself laid out after or during matches on five occasions (Raw on Sept 1, Unforgiven on Sept 7, Raw on Sept 8, Raw on Sept 29, and Raw on August 7).
Coupled with the fact that he was afforded the chance to do just three promos (Raw on June 23, Raw on July 21, and Raw on July 28), it doesn�t sound like the story of a wrestler being given a real opportunity, does it? I must surmise that the only new face worthy of a prolonged WWE build and push is Vladimir Kozlov.
If you, as a fan, are anything like me, part of that reason is because of the same wrestlers in the main events, delivering the same scripted promos, and having largely the same wrestling matches -- and I use the term "wrestling" in the loosest possible fashion. Having seemingly placed faith in Cade on June 16, the WWE burned their chance to change the opinion that so many of us share. Clearly, they don�t even know when they are doing themselves a favour.
The WWE may have said it for themselves in their website news statement, but I truly wish Lance Cade the very best in his future endeavours.
He, the fans, and the other hard-working wrestlers outside of the main events, deserve better than what they so very often get.

Susan Granger's review of 'The Lunchbox'
Set in contemporary Mumbai, this is a classic romance about strangers who fall in love via letters, although it all comes about through miscommunication.
After working for 35 years as a bureaucratic government claims processor, Saajan (Irrfan Khan) is nearing retirement. He's a lonely widower with little joy in his life. Then one day, he opens his tin lunchbox, only to discover it's not his. It was misdelivered to him by one of the 5,000 white-capped dabbwallas, energetic delivery men whose task is distributing to the workplace hot lunches prepared by wives at home. Instead of his usual drab, store-bought fare, this particular meal was prepared by Ila (Nimrat Kaur), the neglected wife of a workaholic businessman (Nakul Vaid) who pays more attention to his cellphone than to her.
Following the advice of her "Auntie," Mrs. Deshpande (Bharati Achrekar), Ila has concocted a delicious repast that's filled with spices intended to reignite passion. And it succeeds. Soon Saajan and Ila are exchanging inquisitive, then revealing, even intimate, handwritten messages via the daily lunchbox. Until Ila realizes she needs to meet her confidante Sajaan to decide whether to stay in her loveless marriage.
"You let me into your dreams, and I want to thank you for that," Saajan says.
Familiar to American audiences from his roles in "Life of Pi," "Slumdog Millionaire" and "The Namesake" Khan is an extraordinarily versatile Bollywood star. He's perfectly cast by debuting writer/director Ritesh Batra's, whose charming, compassionate, epistolary concept is reminiscent of "You've Got Mail" and "The Shop Around the Corner" -- with a special appeal for foodies. Strong on relationship details, including Saajan's cheerful apprentice/trainee, Aslam Shaikh (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), and atmosphere, courtesy of cinematographer Michael Simmonds, Batra also offers insight into India's traditional culture (Hindu, Muslim and Christian) when it comes to social relationships between men and women.
On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "The Lunchbox," in Hindu with English subtitles, is a subtly savory 7, providing nourishment for the soul.

Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention
The Lead Program's primary responsibility is to inspect the homes of lead poisoned children and identify any possible environmental lead hazards that may have caused or contributed to the child's poisoning.
Our inspector visits the home or dwelling unit of the
lead poisoned child and tests the paint, dust, soil, and water to determine if they contain lead levels above the regulatory standard. The inspector also interviews the family to see if other sources (such
as lead remedies, imported candies, lead glazed pottery, painted toys, lead
related hobbies or take-home lead from a family member's work) may have caused or contributed to the child's poisoning.
If lead hazards are found, the inspector informs the child's family and provides them with steps they can take to reduce their child's exposure to these lead hazards.
Whenever the paint, dust, soil, or water of the house contains lead levels above the standard, the property owner is required to eliminate or contain the hazards. The inspector monitors the property and works with the owner until the hazards are eliminated.
Our inspectors work in conjunction with Los
Angeles County Public Health Nurses who coordinate the
medical treatment for the affected children. The nurses do not work for Environmental Health, but work in the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (MCAH) division of Public Health. Additional information about their program can be found at their website:
Education for Prevention
Since lead poisoning can be prevented by eliminating exposures to lead hazards, the Lead Program works to educate the public of the dangers of lead and how to avoid them. The Lead Program participates in health fairs and community events to educate families about lead hazards in the home. Owners and contractors are informed on how to work safely with lead painted surfaces at homes built before 1978. Local government agencies are updated on current lead laws and encouraged to incorporate these in their permitting, inspection, and enforcement activities.
Unsafe Lead Work Practice Complaints
Sandblasting or dry scraping of paint on housing built before 1978 can create hazardous lead dust. This is called "unsafe lead work". The Lead Program responds to "unsafe lead work" complaints from the community or other agencies. Inspectors may test the property to see if the paint being disturbed contains lead. If the paint does contain lead, then the property owner
and contactor must clean up the site and use safe work practices when the work resumes. The owner/contractor must use plastic sheeting to contain any dust/debris and use work methods that minimize the creation of dust.

Plymouth man sentenced for manufacturing meth
PLYMOUTH - A Plymouth man will spend 10 years in prison for the manufacturing of methamphetamine.
A Pro-tem Judge approved the plea agreement for James W. Bailey, 23, of Plymouth reached between Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney E. Nelson Chipman, Jr. and defense attorney Tom Black. The agreement was for a sentence at the Indiana Department of Corrections of 10 years. No part of the sentence was suspended.
In open court, Bailey admitted that on Dec. 8 of last year he manufactured methamphetamine at an apartment on Lincoln Way East in Plymouth, with other individuals.
The case started when citizens called Plymouth Police after observing a male and female dump a smoldering box into a dumpster near the area of Kingston Drive. Officer Shelley Cleveland responded and talked with the citizens and examined the discarded box.
The Indiana State Police Meth Lab Team was then called to examine the contents, assist with the investigation and clean up the hazardous materials.
The citizens gave a description of the male and female and the direction of their travel. Officer Cleveland soon observed people with the same description in the area and made contact and eventually an arrest.
Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Nelson Chipman stated,
