Francis: ' Jesus lived the daily realities of most ordinary people:'
As Catholics around the world attempt daily to discern how their new pope, Francis, sees the work of the church, evidence mounts through his actions and words. In his first general audience held today in St. Peter's Square he spoke to a large crowd, which filled most of the square. He spoke of the need to reach out to all; he spoke of the need to reach out to the marginalized; he once again stressed the mercy of God.
Vatican radio printed a translation of Pope Francis' catechesis for his first General Audience, which included these passages:
But what does it mean for us to live Holy Week? What does it means to follow Jesus on His way to the Cross on Calvary and the Resurrection? In His earthly mission, Jesus walked the streets of the Holy Land; He called twelve simple people to remain with Him, to share His journey and continue His mission; He chose them among the people full of faith in the promises of God. He spoke to everyone, without distinction, to the great and the lowly; to the rich young man and the poor widow, the powerful and the weak; He brought the mercy and forgiveness of God to all; He healed, comforted, understood, gave hope, He led all to the presence of God, who is interested in every man and woman, like a good father and a good mother is interested in each child. God did not wait for us to go to Him, but He moved towards us, without calculation, without measures.
This is how God is: He is always the first, He moves towards us. Jesus lived the daily realities of most ordinary people: He was moved by the crowd that seemed like a flock without a shepherd, and He cried in front of the suffering of Martha and Mary on the death of their brother Lazarus; He called a tax collector to be His disciple and also suffered the betrayal of a friend. In Christ, God has given us the assurance that He is with us, in our midst. "Foxes", Jesus said, "have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest His head" (Mt 8:20). Jesus did not have a home because His house is the people -- that is, us; His mission is to open all God's doors, to be the loving presence of God.
In Holy Week we live the highest point of this journey, this loving plan that runs throughout the entire history of the relationship between God and humanity. Jesus enters Jerusalem to take the final step, in which His whole live is summarized: He gives Himself totally. He keeps nothing for Himself, not even His life. At the Last Supper, with His friends, He shares the bread and distributes the chalice "for us." The Son of God is offered to us, He consigns His Body and his Blood into our hands to be with us always, to dwell among us. And on the Mount of Olives, as in the trial before Pilate, He puts up no resistance, He gifts Himself: He is the Suffering Servant foretold by Isaiah, who stripped himself unto death (cf. Is 53:12).
Jesus does not live this love that leads to sacrifice passively or as a fatal destiny; certainly He does not hide His deep human commotion in the face of a violent death, but He entrusts Himself with full confidence to the Father. Jesus voluntarily consigned Himself to death to respond to the love of God the Father, in perfect union with His will, to demonstrate His love for us. On the Cross, Jesus "loved me and gave Himself for me" (Gal 2:20). Each of us can say, "He loved me and gave Himself for me." Everyone can say that "for me".
Living Holy Week following Jesus means learning how to come out of ourselves - as I said on Sunday - to reach out to others, to go to the outskirts of existence, to be the first to move towards our brothers and sisters, especially those who are most distant, those who are forgotten, those who are most in need of understanding, consolation and help. There is so much need to bring the living presence of Jesus, merciful and full of love!
Living Holy Week means increasingly entering into God's logic, the logic of the Cross, which is not first of all that of pain and death, but of love and of self-giving that brings life. It means entering into the logic of the Gospel. Following, accompanying Christ, remaining with Him requires an "stepping outside" stepping outside. Stepping outside of ourselves, of a tired and routine way of living the faith, of the temptation to withdraw into pre-established patterns that end up closing our horizon to the creative action of God. God stepped outside of Himself to come among us, He pitched His tent among us to bring the mercy of God that saves and gives hope. Even if we want to follow Him and stay with Him, we must not be content to remain in the enclosure of the ninety-nine sheep, we have to "step outside", to search for the lost sheep together with Him, the one furthest away. Remember well: stepping outside of ourselves, like Jesus, like God has stepped outside of Himself in Jesus and Jesus stepped outside of Himself for all of us.
Some might say to me, "But, Father, I have no time", "I have so many things to do", "it is difficult", "what can I do with my little strength?", with my sin, with so many things? Often we settle for a few prayers, a distracted and inconsistent presence at Sunday Mass, a random act of charity, but we lack this courage to "step outside" to bring Christ. We are a bit like St. Peter. As soon as Jesus speaks of the Passion, Death and Resurrection, of self-giving, of love for all, the Apostle takes him aside and rebukes him. What Jesus says upsets his plans, seems unacceptable, undermines the sense of security that he had built up, his idea of the Messiah. And Jesus looks at the disciples and addresses Peter with perhaps one of the strongest words of the Gospel: "Get behind me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do"(Mk 8:33). God always thinks with mercy: do not forget this. God always thinks with mercy: our merciful Father. God thinks like a father who awaits the return of his child and goes to meet him, sees him come when he is still far away ... What does this mean? That each and every day he went out to see if his son was coming home. This is our merciful Father. It is the sign that he was waiting for him from the terrace of his house; God thinks like the Samaritan that does not approach the victim to commiserate with him, or look the other way, but to rescue him without asking for anything in return, without asking if he was Jew, if he was pagan, a Samaritan, rich or poor: he does not ask anything. He does not ask these things, he asks for nothing. He goes to his aid: This is how God thinks. God thinks like the shepherd who gives his life to defend and save his sheep.
Holy Week is a time of grace which the Lord gifts us to open the doors of our hearts, our lives, our parishes - what a pity, so many parishes are closed! - in our parishes, movements, associations, and to "step outside" towards others, to draw close to them so we can bring the light and joy of our faith. Always step outside yourself! And with the love and tenderness of God, with respect and patience, knowing that we put our hands, our feet, our hearts, but then it is God who guides them and makes all our actions fruitful.
May you all live these days well, following the Lord with courage, carrying within a ray of His love for all those whom we meet.

Another common genealogy mistake is not backing up your genealogy often enough, and in the best way!
After attending a great webinar by Thomas MacEntee on Backing up Your Genealogy, I was inspired to rethink my data backup plan.
Sure, I have been backing up my genealogy data, including media about weekly. But I was using Legacy's backup, which means all my client work (research reports, notes etc) was not being backed up at the same time. Sure, every once in awhile I have backed up my folders, but with the number of hours a week I work on genealogy even the loss of one week would mean a great deal of loss.
If anyone should have data backup on their mind surely it is me.
A couple years ago, my laptop had the misfortune of having chocolate milk spilled on it. The motherboard was fried. It is not really cost effective to replace laptop motherboards as this often costs more than a new (likely better) laptop. Luckily, my brother is a bit of a computer tech geek, so he was able to transfer all my files, including data files off of the laptop hard drive and onto my new desktop computer.
It was a long process tho, and what if he had not been able to do it? What if I had been in Florida as planned when this happened?
I have regularly lost desk top hard drives but have never lost most of my data (usually a few days worth and easily replaceable data such as music and movies were lost).
A few ago my mother had a house fire which led to the destruction by smoke and water damage of the majority of the contents of her house.
A while ago we had a small kitchen fire in my house.
Think of all the times you have narrowly avoided losing all your precious genealogy data, not to mention family digital photos and so on.
I usually have used rather poor methods of backup. I usually have two or more hard drives on the computer so I copy important files once in a while to the other drive. Problem with this of course is that if the entire computer was destroyed in a house fire this would be little use!
I would also sometimes backup to DVD. Problem is I have a great deal of data and it takes about 5 DVDs to store it all. And of course, if there was a house fire, this wold also be of little use, as altho I always *intend* to take copies somewhere else, like my brother or sisters house, I really don't actually do so. And of course saving to 5 DVDS is not the fastest process so I tend to put it off.
Even if I did take the DVDs offsite, how often is this really realistically going to happen? Once a week? Once a month? What happens if the disaster that hits my home also affects the offsite location. Obviously, in order to be able to physically take the DVDs to the offsite location it will be nearby. If a disaster hit that affected the entire city (flood, earthquake etc), my data would be lost.
I have 6 children, plus 2 dogs and a cat in my household. I love my genealogy, but if there was a house fire, there would be no question of even trying to move the computer out.
I also tend to leave my computer on 24/7. My house could have a house fire that destroyed my computer when I was not even home or while I am asleep.
I had heard good things about Dropbox, and decided to try it. While they do have a 2 GB free plan, I have much more than that to backup, so I decided to go with the $9.99/mth 50 GB plan.
After moving over all the files I felt I had to have backed up, it appears I will only need about 25 GB.
While I signed up for Dropbox with the intention of using it for backup, I was delighted to discover it can do so much more. Thomas MacEntee had mentioned some of the features, but had remained focused on the backup features, as this was what the webinar was on. In his upcoming webinar I am sure I would have learned all about these features, but I didn't entirely understand them when I signed up.
Basically, once I put a file in the Dropbox, I can work on it on any computer, and it updates on ALL the computers and online. So, if I had a laptop, I could work on my genealogy file at home on my desktop, then grab my laptop and head to the library. At the library I could work on the file some more, and when I returned home all the new data would be on my desktop for me to continue there.
I now feel like I am ready to buy a new laptop!

Excerpted and adapted from "Swallowing Disorders After a Stroke," Stroke Connection Magazine July/August 2003 (Last science update March 2013))
A swallowing disorder called dysphagia often occurs as a result of stroke. Dysphagia may occur in up to 65 percent of stroke patients. If not identified and managed, it can lead to poor nutrition, pneumonia and increased disability.
- Aspiration (inhaling food or drink) is a common problem for people with dysphagia.
- It occurs when material a person is swallowing enters their airway and lungs; pneumonia may develop.
- Normally, aspiration would cause a violent cough, but a stroke can reduce sensation.
- After a stroke, food or liquid could enter the airway/lungs without the survivor being aware of it. This is called silent aspiration.
Testing Swallowing
Speech-language pathologists are trained to test swallowing. The first step is a bedside assessment.
- While you are in the hospital, nursing personnel may access (test) your ability to swallow. If you "fail" the swallow test, the nursing staff may not be able to allow you to eat until a formal swallow study is done by the speech-language pathologist.
- The speech-language pathologist will evaluate how well the muscles in the mouth move.
- The speech-language pathologist will ask questions to see if the patient can remember any techniques they might need to learn.
- The speech-language pathologist will listen to the patient's voice for an idea of how the voicebox is working.
- The survivor may be given food and liquid to swallow.
Efforts to make sure survivors with swallowing problems receive adequate nutrition are taken by the patient's medical team. If it doesn't appear safe for them to swallow anything by mouth, they may require tube feeding. The swallowing tests give the speech-language pathologist information to help create an individualized treatment plan to help patients regain their swallowing skills.
Treatment Plans
Treatment plans generally include exercises to improve coordination of muscle movements in the mouth and throat.
- A plan may also include techniques to help compensate for lost function.
- One technique is turning the head to one side to provide better airway protection.
- Another is taking only small sips of liquid so none splashes into the airway because of poor tongue control.
- The speech-language pathologist may recommend that survivors change the food and liquids they eat and drink.
- Some foods may be too difficult to chew.
- Thin liquids are often hard to swallow safely after a stroke because they move quickly through the mouth and throat.
- This doesn't allow enough time for the voicebox to lift, close and move forward to protect the airway. Aspiration may result.
- Survivors are sometimes given liquids that have been thickened so they move more slowly and stay together.
Although each treatment plan is unique and designed to meet specific needs, some common precautions may help you swallow more safely.
- Sit up straight any time you eat or drink.
- Take small bites and sips.
- Take your time.
- Make sure you have cleared all the food from your mouth.
During a survivor's recovery, the speech-language pathologist continually assesses their progress and determines when it's safe for them to eat more normal foods.

A free CUBRID Cloud Database Service for our dear users
A free CUBRID Cloud Database Service for our dear users
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
Sensu is an open source monitoring event pipeline. Try it today.
Hello reader,
What do you know about CUBRID Database? Let this be your first introduction to CUBRID. Today I would like to tell a story about what we do at CUBRID in order to improve the experience our users have when they get started with CUBRID Database.
So far we have published numerous installation instructions and short HOWTO tutorials which help our users to quickly get started with installing and configuring CUBRID Database. These include instructions for apt-get and yum package managers. Once their server is up and running, users can continue their learning experience with more tutorials.
To improve user experience, couple months ago we have written multiple Vagrant and Chef Cookbook tutorials which provide easy step by step instructions on how to create a clean virtual machine image for VirtualBox and install CUBRID and any other necessary software on a new Linux operating system in a matter of minutes.
Vagrant in combination with Chef cookbooks is a great tool and time saver for developers, especially for testers and those users who would like to just try a new software in a VM without polutting their host machine. You can fire up a single command like
vagrant up, and Vagrant will built up a new VM machine with all the software you need preinstalled and configured for you. How cool is that! In fact, I use Vagrant and Chef on every day basis to reproduce issues users have reported on CUBRID forums, or to quickly start hacking some new features for another project.
While Vagrant is a great tool for local development, Knife Solo is the guy you need for remote server provisioning. Just like Vagrant, Knife Solo prepares and cooks the Chef cookbooks on a remote server, be it a VM on your local machine or a remote Amazon EC2 server. And we have written a Knife Solo tutorial which introduces this tool and shows how to install CUBRID Database, its tools and drivers on a remote machine.
For those users who wish to directly download a virtual machine with a preconfigured CUBRID Database, we have built and uploaded CentOS and Ubuntu VirtualBox images with different versions of CUBRID Server.
To further improve the user experience, today I am immensely happy to announce the CUBRID Cloud Database Service at http://cloud.cubrid.org. We have come from installing CUBRID manually on a user machine to installing automatically on a VM or a remote server, to not having to install CUBRID at all. Now you can request a connection information to a remote CUBRID cloud database for free as soon as you need. All you need is a valid email address.
Figure 1: CUBRID Cloud Database Service front page.
Once requested, you will receive a confirmation email address. You confirm your email, and we will start cooking your very own CUBRID cloud database. In a minute or so you will receive a second email with the database credentials. This will include the remote database host IP address, the port number, your database name, a username, and a password. We will also include a short getting started tutorial for you to take off quickly.
We have built this CUBRID Cloud Service for educational purpose. We want our users be able to get their hands on a CUBRID database as soon as they need. You can use this cloud database for testing, for learning CUBRID, or for building non-critical demo applications.
To discuss CUBRID Cloud Service, we have created a dedicated forum thread. You are welcome to join us! If you want to chat with our engineers, head to #cubrid freenode chat room. We will be glad to see you there!
So, go ahead and creat your first CUBRID cloud database!

Rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs welcomed the criticism hurled at his son for receiving a full athletic scholarship to a top university last year as the controversy taught the youngster a valuable lesson in handling pressure.
Justin Combs was accepted into the University of California, Los Angeles, on a paid grant to play football, prompting many to suggest the school should not be covering his education fees when his father is a multi-millionaire.
The 19 year old previously hit back at his detractors by arguing that he deserved the award, and now the hip-hop mogul has spoken out about the criticism.
Combs tells E! News, "I wasn't annoyed at all. I kind of welcomed it, because if he's going to be doing what he's doing, if he's going to be in the city of L.A., he has to be able to handle the pressure.
"I thought it was a great learning tool for him to be humble, handle it and go out there and prove himself on the field and prove himself at school."
Combs also reveals he and his family are now in the process of creating their own financial aid initiative: "We'll be announcing our overall scholarship fund, so at the end of the day, it all works out for everybody."

In June 2010, a National Institutes of Health (NIH) panel published a Consensus Development Conference Statement on vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).
In addition to examining the current evidence related to VBAC and offering recommendations for future research on this topic, the NIH panel concluded that VBAC was a "reasonable option" for most women with a previous cesarean section.
In the context of a current birth climate that can be somewhat hostile toward VBAC, this was an exciting moment for many birth advocates, maternity care providers, and mothers!
But even with all that is included in the NIH Statement on VBAC, it might be difficult for many of us to wade through the information in it and figure out what it means for us and our particular birth options and unique circumstances.
This is where the Guide comes into play.
A group of maternity care experts and VBAC advocates came together to create A Woman's Guide to VBAC: Navigating the NIH Consensus Recommendations, a free online resource guide that addresses the most common and pressing questions women may have about their birth choices in what could be called the "post-NIH-Consensus-Recommendations Era." We hope the Guide gives you the tools you need to empower yourself to advocate for you, your baby, and your birth choices!
Sections in A Woman's Guide to VBAC:
- Weighing the Pros and Cons of Planned Vaginal Birth after Cesarean and Repeat Cesarean Section
- VBAC Success Rates and Prediction Models: Understanding Your Chances of Important Outcomes
- Putting Uterine Rupture into Perspective
- Are You an "Ideal" Candidate for VBAC? What Are Your Choices If Not?
- The "Immediately Available" Standard: Where It Came from, What It Means, and How to Move Forward with New Evidence and Guidelines
- What We Don't Know: Critical Gaps in Evidence and How to Make Informed Choices In Spite of Them
- Discussing Your Options with Your Care Provider
- Legal Rights and Protections for VBAC: Issues from the NIH Consensus Conference
- Take Action!
The Inspiration for this Project
The concept for this guide was borne out of many things: the timeliness of the NIH panel's statement on VBAC, the importance of the statement itself, and our personal interest in advocating for women seeking vaginal birth after cesarean.
But we would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge another source of my inspiration for this project: namely, the heartfelt and heartening consumer participation in the NIH Consensus Development Conference on Vaginal Birth After Cesarean.
As women who were lucky enough to attend the NIH Consensus Conference on VBAC in person (Kristen) or view the entire proceedings in real time by webcast (Amy), we can say with some certainty that consumers !! that is, the mothers, doulas, midwives, nurses, doctors, and other birth advocates who traveled from near and far and volunteered their time to attend:played a big role in this conference!
We listened, we read, we talked with one another, we got the word out to women who couldn't participate in the meeting, and we asked some of the most incisive questions of the entire conference proceedings.
Quite simply, we made a difference.
This guide is dedicated to those consumers:and to all of us who are maternity care consumers, whether we are currently pregnant, have been pregnant, or simply work and advocate on behalf of pregnant women..
What exactly is a National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Statement? This statement is the product of an NIH Consensus Development Conference. These two-and-a-half day conferences:which are free and open to the public:are organized by the NIH to address issues in medicine that are both controversial and pertinent to health care providers and the general public. During the NIH Consensus Development Conference on VBAC, an independent panel listened to presentations given by invited expert speakers. The panel also heard input from members of the general public during Q&A sessions. Finally, drawing upon the conference proceedings and upon a systematic review of the evidence on VBAC, the panel drafted their statement on VBAC.
Like all Consensus Development Statements, the statement on VBAC is not legally binding. It does not create practice guidelines, nor does it establish any health policies. Nonetheless, it is still an exceedingly important document. In fact, because of the high-quality evidence that the NIH panel uses to create consensus development statements, the NIH claims that it is "reasonable to expect that the panel will be able to give clinical guidance" to care providers.

STOCKTON - Officials identified Mahelani Josiemarie Posada, 19, of Stockton as the lone fatality among five people struck by gunfire early Sunday at the southwest corner of Connecticut and Flint avenues in Stockton's Conway Homes neighborhood.
STOCKTON - Officials identified Mahelani Josiemarie Posada, 19, of Stockton as the lone fatality among five people struck by gunfire early Sunday at the southwest corner of Connecticut and Flint avenues in Stockton's Conway Homes neighborhood.
On Monday, police offered limited additional information on the mass shooting. Those wounded included two women, ages 40 and 18, and two men, 23 and 19. Their identities were not provided, and all had non-life-threatening injuries.
While the investigation remains active, police would only say they are interviewing people and trying to establish a motive.
The shootings were reported at 3:38 a.m. Sunday outside a duplex near two quiet residential streets.
Monday afternoon, police evidence markers remained where stray bullets had struck walls, and blood smears stained patches of lawn. Candles still burned at a makeshift memorial set up Sunday evening with bouquets, beer cans and a pink-and-white Hello Kitty stuffed animal lining the base of a fence near the crime scene.
Neighbors eyed the scene warily, reluctant to speak about what they saw or heard. One longtime resident said a loud party with about 50 guests started about 10:30 p.m. Saturday and was still raging five hours later when the shooting occurred. She requested anonymity out of concern for her safety.
She said the house was occupied by two sisters in their 20s, one of whom had a baby boy. The house had a reputation among the neighbors as a party house, but what was unusual about this party was its late start after the neighborhood's 10 p.m. curfew and the large number of guests, the woman said. Her information could not be verified by police.
The woman went on to say that just before the shooting, an argument broke out inside the house among party guests, the music was turned down and those fighting were told to take it outside. At that point, the shooting began, she said. It is unknown if more than one person had a gun or if the victims were struck by more than one gunman.
"A lot of people ran after the shooting. Cars were going everywhere like cockroaches after the lights are turned on," the woman said.
"There was screaming, yelling, 'I'm hit! I'm shot!' " the woman said. She saw party guests calling police about 10 to 15 minutes before the first officers arrived, she said.
"Our heart goes out to the family of the one that passed away. I hope we can go back to the peaceful neighborhood we had. It's too bad she had to lose her life because of a party," the woman said.

2013 General Tire Mint 400Posted in Events on August 5, 2013
The great American off-road race brought out some of the coolest off-road race vehicles in the country to the Nevada desert just outside of Las Vegas. The Mint 400, which was first run in 1967, was created to generate public interest in the Mint Hotel but quickly turned into a full-fledged off-road racing event that has grown into one of the toughest races in the country.
The 2013 General Tire Mint 400 was filled with four days of high-octane off-road excitement! The weekend of desert racing started out right on Fremont Street with the 4 Wheel Parts Mint 400 Off-Road Vehicle Parade that rumbled through Las Vegas Boulevard with 50 off-road vehicles led by Mint 400 founders Mel Larson and Norm Johnson and the 2013 Mint 400 grand marshal, KJ Howe.
Since pictures are worth more than words alone, 4 Wheel Parts and Mad Media sent us some awesome shots of all the action that happened out at the 2013 General Tire Mint 400!

Student Section going GA
I am sure this makes many of you happy but as a kid whose tickets were going to have excellent senior standing next year and who always makes it before kickoff, I am really angry.
GA is just chaos
(Edit: As a poster pointed out below, tickets are also way more expensive)
(Second Edit: To those thinking you will get good seats just for showing up before kick, you are wrong. Now that there is a reason to go early, we will have our own mini-Paternoville. For good games, you will have to be there 2 hours early. I love Michigan football, but as a grad student who also remembers pregames as the best part of being an undergrad, I really think this could kill some of the Saturday fun.)

Magruder Limestone, Inc. has cleared the first hurdle in the process of obtaining a conditional use permit to operate a temporary asphalt plant on the Westside for the latter half of 2013.
Magruder Limestone, Inc. has cleared the first hurdle in the process of obtaining a conditional use permit to operate a temporary asphalt plant on the Westside for the latter half of 2013.
On Monday night, the Sunrise Beach Planning Commission voted to recommend Dean McDonald's application for a CUP that would allow Magruder to operate the plant at the company's quarry in the village. The motion that was approved also included a few recommended stipulations on the conditional use permit.
"We tried to look at this with all the evidence and caveats and do the best we can for all concerned," Commission chairman Don Huschle said.
The stipulations in the motion included usage of proper traffic warnings at the project and at the quarry where truck traffic will increase, more specific operational times and asphalting the entrance to the quarry to cut down on dust. The commission also recommended that the permit only include the job listed on the application, which is the MoDOT contract, and not any others whether they are government or private work.
Four of the five members present voted for the motion. The fifth member, Curt Mooney, abstained. The Sunrise Beach Board of Trustees Chairman said he would save his vote for the final decision at the trustee level.
The proposed plant would be located in the interior of the quarry located at 12729 N. State Hwy. 5. It is hoped by some of the commissioners that this location in the hole of the quarry will buffer noise from nearby residences.
An asphalt plant previously operated at the site by a different company was located at the top of the hill near the highway. Several noise and odor complaints were lodged against the operation by residents in the area.
"I know some residents are not happy, and I apologize. We've studied this very hard. It was a hard decision and I hope you understand," Huschle said to residents after the vote.
Commissioners grilled McDonald with more questions after continuing last month's hearing to their Feb. 4 meeting to further research the proposal.
Checking into reference projects cited by McDonald at the January hearing, the company's vice president was asked for an explanation of a less than stellar review from Franklin County P&Z. A letter from the county stated they had done additional work to what was on their application and that there had been some complaints.
According to McDonald, the additional work was a misunderstanding. He said the company thought they were allowed to do any public jobs during the specified time period of the permit, just not private jobs.
After it was brought to their attention, McDonald said they applied for the other government jobs they had taken on and were permitted to proceed after paying a fine.
McDonald said he only heard two complaints during the company's operations in Franklin County. One was about their light shining into a home. The other was regarding dust at the entrance of the plant. Both were taken care of immediately, he said.
McDonald added that it would almost be impossible to operate something like an asphalt plant and never get at least one complaint.
Commissioners also quizzed McDonald about the level of noise in comparison to the current level with quarry operations, whether there was an alternative site, hours of operation, other jobs they might have in the area and traffic concerns.
According to McDonald, the noise should be comparable to the current level, and there is no alternative site for the plant.
The hours of operations were harder to specify due to the complicated nature of their contract with MoDOT. The state agency strictly regulates operations to avoid traffic issues and hazards. If traffic is backed up past signage, operations would be shut down for the day, McDonald said, and certain portions of the project are not allowed to be done on the weekend or during the day.
Magruder has 258 calendar days to complete the contract, according to McDonald. Not all of those are paving days. That includes excavation and other dirt work that is part of the project.
McDonald said the company was also clear on limiting its operations at the plant to this one contract.
The company will be doing asphalt work at the new Woods Supermarket in Sunrise Beach. That asphalt will be brought in from a plant outside the area, McDonald said.
Another potential project - paving Gold Cove Lane behind the quarry for Camden County - would also not be included in the Sunrise Beach CUP, he said.
The CUP application did not include these projects because the company had not yet contracted to do the work at the time the paperwork was filed.
Magruder is seeking the permit after being awarded a construction bid from the Missouri Department of Transportation to resurface nearly 28 miles of Hwy. 5 from the Sunrise Beach area north to Versailles and about three miles of Route 54 in Camden County. The contract also includes adding four foot paved shoulders to Hwy. 5 in the resurfacing area where they are currently lacking shoulders.
During the Feb. 4 meeting, Commissioner Kent Morris said he was leaning toward approval of the CUP due to the improvements that the MoDOT project would bring, calling it "short term inconvenience for an improvement."
The CUP case should be on the agenda for the village trustees at their Feb. 11 meeting. A decision could be made by the board at the Monday evening meeting.
Editor's Note: This story originally reported that the Sunrise Beach Board of Trustees must also hold a public hearing on the CUP application. A public hearing is not required by law at the trustee level. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

NORTON, Mass. – The women's swimming and diving team passed its first challenge of the 2008-09 campaign, defeating NEWMAC-rival Wheaton College on Saturday, 156-144. The Lyons won the 200 free relay to tighten the scoring at the end, but MIT was able to secure a victory in its first dual meet of the season with a plethora of solid performances.
Senior Nicole O'Keeffe authored the afternoon's best performance as she was victorious in three individual events. She opened the day with a blow-out win in the 1000-yard free while also taking the top spot in the 500 free and 200 individual medley.
Senior Jen Chao and junior Kristie D'Ambrosio also powered the Engineers' attack with a pair of victories. Chao swept both fly events while D'Ambrosio out-dueled two Wheaton rookies for top honors in one and three-meter diving. Chao's nearly six-second win in the 200 fly was just over two seconds off her personal record.
MIT also enjoyed some strong results by its talented rookie class, led by Sydney Giblin. Finishing second to O'Keeffe in the 500 free, Giblin won the 200 free in a time of 2:00.83.
Despite yielding both relays, the Engineers boasted significant depth throughout the contest.

Ride Home 3/9: Temps Perdu
Prior to leaving work, I saw my former boss's boss (she's still the boss of my former boss, who is still the boss of the people I used to work with, but no longer the boss of the people I currently worth with because I changed positions a number of months ago. I did see my current boss's boss early in the day and I even saw my boss's boss's boss around lunch time, but they're not the ones I tell this story about and only warrant an extended parenthetical). She said "I almost hit you on your bike the other day. You weren't wearing a helmet." First, thinking myself wry (but probably sounded like a ponce), I said "Thanks for not doing that." And then I apologized for not wearing a helmet and said that I normally do wear one, almost every day. I don't know if my response was in deference to our previously established hierarchical relationship or whether it actually reveals something about what I subconsciously think about helmet use. One probably shouldn't apologize for someone else almost hitting them, but there you go. Though, I don't remember anyone almost hitting me, so I don't know what that means either.
I remember not seeing very many bicyclists on Friday afternoon and remember thinking that that seemed odd. Maybe it's because I was on the road a little earlier than usual. I don't see too many people from my morning commute on my evening commute, especially near the beginning of my commute, but on Friday, I don't think I saw anyone from anyone's commute, except maybe a bunch of drivers, none of whom seemed in any way perturbed by exceeding the 30 mile per hour speed limit on Massachusetts. Time for a speed camera? Or would that just be entrapment? (Every time I see the word entrapment, I feel obligated to say "laser scene." Some of you will know what I'm talking about and others of you will roll your eyes.)
I saw a Car2Go on 11th. It was, like the car in the photo, a SmartCar. The differentiation point between Car2Go and Zipcar is that the former doesn't require you to reserve the car ahead of time (though I guess you can). You just get in and go, which makes it great for the mercurial and/or bank robbers. You still have to park it in an approved Car2Go parking space, so your getaway options might be limited. I think it'd be even better if the cars came with bike racks on the back, but you know, that's crazy. I don't know to what extent this will affect bicycling or bike commuting in DC, but my guess is that this will have no real impact.
I also took a test ride down the new New York Avenue bike lanes, but it would've taken me out of my way and I needed to go to the grocery store and taking the diversion would have led me in the completely opposite direction. Some day I'll find a reason to ride from roughly Mount Vernon Triangle to roughly the White House or reverse, but I haven't so far. I could totally see these lanes working for some one maybe commuting from the Memorial Bridge or the TR or from Foggy Bottom, but here's the issue:
Just the layout of this whole part is a big mess and I don't like it. Maybe it has something to do with the highways and stroads cutting off the bridges from the rest of the city. Oh well.
Any bicyclist who yells "incoming" before passing you is pretty badass. Or addled. Maybe a little both in this case.
If you bike on Penn, you really need to learn the order of the green lights. It's straight both ways on 7th, left turn from nothbound 7th to Penn, then left turn from eastbound Penn to 7th, then straight for both directions of Penn. You can remember this with the acronym 7SBDLNF7LEP7SPBD. Some people do it wrong and get in the way of a bus that's about to turn left from Penn. They "jumped"the green light only to find out the green wasn't for them. Don't ever assume anything. Either you know or you don't know, but you should never assume anything.
Here are some boy scouts.
I sort of think that if I bike past the Capitol and White House every day, I've got a pretty good chance to be in every middle school year this year as "that bike guy in the background of our class picture."
Taming of the Shrew at the Folger. To the best of my knowledge, PETA isn't protesting, but I don't know if real shrews are being used in the production.
Had one of those trips to the stores where I stumbled around for a while and didn't know what to get and had to call the Official Wife for guidance. You know, one of those trips. I ended up getting a bunch of stuff, including some tulips, before realizing that I failed as both a bike commuter and DC resident by not having any bags with me. I actually had to fork over a nickel for my plastic bag, which I think means that I've paid for the right to throw it directly into the Anacostia when I'm done with it. That's how the bag tax works, right? Anyway, I slung my plastic bag over my handlebars and held my tulips in my right hand and became a parody of myself as I biked home. I might also have become a parody of a Dutchman. Anyway, I made it home with no big bother and then the weekend happened and then I wrote this.

Your boss's boss I think is that person who says "be careful on your ride, there are a lot of bad drivers out there." I always think, but never respond by saying "yes, and you're one of them, so please keep me in mind when you see other cyclists, and chill the fuck out." One day I'll say it for real.ReplyDelete
And everyone should go see Taming of the Shrew. My incredibly talented neighbor is one of the leads. Maybe I can hook up a #bikedc discount...I will inquire.
@Marc I look forward to hearing the blowback from when you finally snap and tell people what you really think. In the mean time , I think we'll all just keep doing what we currently do, which is force a smile and try to be polite, showing that we 're not some crazy bike people, but just normal everyday folks who are totally normal and just happen to ride bikes and are sorry about that. I'm not very good at being strident. Also, good to know about The Shrew.ReplyDelete
Dahon folding bike fits perfectly in the back of a Car2GoReplyDelete
@Tim that is a very smart observation. I'm increasingly coming to believe that folding bikes are the greatest thing ever if one is serious about ditching their own personal car.ReplyDelete
I think a lot about being too apologist. My Chinese friends say a good way to tell an American from another English speaker is if they are constantly apologizing for bumping into you, for potentially getting in your way, for forgetting to hold the door open, for getting in the wrong line at the supermarket, etcetc. The unnecessary apologizing extends to my bike commuting, when I thank cars for not hitting me/allowing me to have my legal right of way/moving out of the bike lane when they see me coming; or apologizing to people in the elevator for daring to have a bike there etc etc. I doubt my constant apologizing is really contributing to the culture of bikes as inferior for cars in any great way, but sometimes I think it anyways.ReplyDelete
Also, folders FTW.

WELLESLEY, Mass. – Senior Kimberly Barker (Camden, N.Y.) scored twice to lead the MIT field hockey team to a 4-1 win over Wellesley College on Tuesday afternoon. Junior Maddy Wharton (Swarthmore, Pa.) and freshman Morgan Gulliver (Stamford, Conn.) rounded out the scoring for the Engineers who improved to 10-2 on the year and 3-1 in NEWMAC play.
MIT wasted little time in getting on the board as it converted on a penalty corner after 3:51 elapsed. Junior Molly Duffy (New Providence, N.J.) set the play in motion while Wharton unleashed a blast from the top of the arc to give the visitors a lead they would not relinquish.
During the next 10 minutes, the Blue responded by generating five penalty corners and four shots, one of which was stopped by sophomore goalie Jenna Klein (Parma, Ohio), but could not register the equalizer. The game became a back-and-forth affair until the 28th minute. Junior Michelle Teplensky (Somers, N.Y.) sent a blast that was turned away by junior goalie Brit Mscisz (Topsfield, Mass.) but Gulliver was there to knock in the rebound.
The Engineers continued to attack in the second stanza as they produced six shots, four of which were on goal, and five penalty corners before extending their lead in the 52nd minute. Barker registered her first marker of the game when she redirected a long ball from senior Michelle Dion (Lunenburg, Mass.) to increase MIT's margin to 3-0.
Wellesley replied by ending the shutout six minutes later when senior Allison Robbins (Bennington, Vt.) found freshman Hannah Flesch (Rockville, Md.) following a penalty corner. The hosts did not back down as they totaled a trio of shots and penalty corners but they could not close the gap. MIT, meanwhile, was awarded a penalty corner moments before time expired and capitalized on the opportunity. In the midst of a scramble in front of the cage, senior Molly McShane (Lake Bluff, Ill.) set up Barker for the final tally of the day.
Klein finished the day with one save as Mscisz turned away six shots. The Engineers enjoyed a 15-11 advantage in shots but the Blue recorded a 10-8 edge in penalty corners.
MIT continues its NEWMAC roadtrip on Saturday, Oct. 6 when it visits Mount Holyoke College.

What happen to Yui these past episodes really makes it feel weird. I like her better when she was all strict and cold hearted because it really suits her character and the sudden attractiveness to Yuuya was rather quick, no really quick.

It never occurred to me last ep but forget about Yuuya, give me Yui X Cryska!
Seems I still lack training in the ways of yuri, guess I better go watch some more of it.
Besides the awesome fanservice, the "serious" side of these last 2 eps has not been good.
Still stand that this whole "beach" thing should have been a OVA and just worked (better) character development in the story while keeping on focus.
Like some others this really is just like a highschool romcom, almost as bad as Freezing(I deplore how it handles "impending world doom" there)
But again it's hard to argue against how good Yui looks, I really do find her just "WOW!".
However I think we could have done without the school swimsuits, we didn't need them here but then that's the Japanese for ya
Oh and can't complain against seeing more of the Megane-chan
An episode I want to hate for being in the wrong series but still like cause of what it is....Curse em!>_<

I'd do have to agree that the tropes being thrown into this fan service episode feels out of place in this more mature setting. Most of the characters are adults, yet the way the episode played out is really no different compared to your typical high school harem comedy genre. It probably would have been more consistent if they dealt with more mature themes/tropes that would be more appropriate to the character's ages.
Still loved Yui and the Scarlet Twins in their full mizugi glory in the end of the episode.

Other than the idea that Yui's changes in personality are coming out of nowhere I do have to agree with the assesment that this episode was poor and that they've now taken the whole fanservice/romcom aspect of the show one step to far. The balance is now definitely off as we get further and further away from the conflict that is ravaging humanity. I think it was the last scene of the episode that pushed it over the edge for me. It's really hard to take the situation seriously now when we've gone from doomsday scenarios to hard boiled training scenarios with light fanservice to full on high school poolside shennagins of lets ogle and harass the commanding officer who just went through some reasonably serious revelations not 90 seconds earlier.
That being said, I've been noticing subtle changes in Yui's personality since episode 05 that started to fester into regret by episode 6 and now it seems like she's just looking for another person of her own race that she thinks has a hope of relating to her, but is unwilling to admit it do to pride and thus her attempts to talk with Yuuya just come off as a mess of aggressive advances that turn into petty arguments. Childish? Perhaps, but she is young and has been suddenly ripped away from the life she knew in Japan and forced to become an expatriate. That's gotta be eating away at her on some level and causing her to have some issues.
That's why it's kind of a shame that Muv-Luv has failed to balance it's tone with this arc. It makes it hard to take in all these subtle bits of detail we are learning about the more major characters when it comes with their off model breasts and ass being thrust in our face and them being subject to the camera all but ogling them at every opportunity while the rest of the cast (which by the way so far continues to be pretty one dimensional) acts like horny schoolboys. I'm glad that apparently next episode sees the Beta being reintroduced, because to be honest it can't come soon enough.

I thought this was a show about... something....
What it should not be about is how many times the animators can start a shot at a torso (front or back) and pan the camera up to a characters face. (Go count how many times that shot happened in this episode.)
Fan service can have its place... But not in place of story. There are enough series out these days about fan service and nothing else. There are very few mature series about grand themes. Those few shows do not need fan service getting in the way of story. Let the story play its course. There is enough stuff to do/see in this universe without having to resort to how many bakini butt shots can be crammed into 22 min. of air time.
This series is so mixed up it does not know what it wants to be. It is every genera! When do the cute mass marketable mascots pop out? When do we see the first spell cast? They have pretty much covered every other genera in this series, so why not go for a clean sweep?
I think I know what this show is trying to be.
MLA:TE is trying to be GUNBUSTER! (Girls, pilot training, failure, tragedy, space bugs, giant robots, romance, training with people from all over the world/solar system, two girls/one robot, lots of genera covered throughout)
If you are not Hideki Anno and you do not work for Gainex then do not try to make another Gunbuster.
Next week: Back to Starship Troopers x Gundam! Oh yeah!

IMO the main problem with the series so far is that after generating so much shock and buzz in episode 2, the subsequently episodes failed to maintain it or provide a constant reminder of the horror, that it feels like a completely different show.
Yes we saw those Beta in simulating training, but they could have easily been replaced by something else. Having them in training also damper down the eerie terror aspect that came with them in ep2.
Who knows, maybe this is the end of the fun times and tragedy will follow just like one particular series last year. We are still waiting for the second sacrificial day. Hopefully that starts next episode.
But man those past episodes feel so slow.

Wasn't that fan service punishment at the end sexual harassment. I mean really, for a force meant to help save humanity from extinction, they sure don't act like military personnel. More like a frat house.
Look forward to the next episode, heres hoping we get a nice action packed episode. We've had enough character develop and fan service.

Ep. 7 felt way too short - I guess it was because we were only at about 3 different scenes for that whole 20 something minutes, plus a lot of dialogue, little action. I did love the character interactions though; Yui in denial, curious Cryska, and confused Yuuya. XD

All too easy to go for the low hanging fruit. Why bother construct a story when you can add a couple swimsuits + a harem to get the attention of all the IS fans. It's pretty hard to take this seriously anymore which is a plus, I shall watch on with no more expectation/baggage.

Oh! a private buffoon is a light-hearted loon, If you listen to popular rumour; From the morn to the night he's so joyous and bright, And he bubbles with wit and good humour! He's so quaint and so terse, both in prose and in verse; Yet though people forgive his transgression, There are one or two rules that all family fools Must observe, if they love their profession.

Family Claims 19 Straight Years of Straight A's
For the past 19 years, at least one of Maureen and Allan Kogut's six boys have attended Marley Middle School in Glen Burnie, MD. And for the past nearly two decades, none of them has received a final grade of anything less than an A.
Youngest son Richie Kogut just graduated from Marley, officially ending this improbable streak at a year shy of two decades.
According to Maureen, a key to her sons' academic success is that they come from a house full of books. "We are very big on reading in our family. We read all the time. I read to my kids every night. My oldest would bring me a stack of like 40 books, and I'd fall asleep reading to him," she explained.
Allan was thrilled and grateful for his boys' unique achievement. "I'm very proud. My children have taken the opportunity they've been provided for at Marley Middle and succeeded."
But neither parent is discounting the fact that good old-fashioned sibling rivalry is what may have ultimately driven the boys' success. "They are harder on each other than we could ever be," Maureen explained. Learn more about this high achieving family here.

The leader of the Kansas Department of Corrections said he has some good things to report about the state's prison system. But, he acknowledged the department always will be facing challenges.
The leader of the Kansas Department of Corrections said he has some good things to report about the state's prison system. But, he acknowledged the department always will be facing challenges.
Kansas Secretary of Corrections Ray Roberts spoke Thursday afternoon to members of the Leavenworth Lions Club.
Roberts, who once served as the warden of the Lansing Correctional Facility, provided a briefing on the state of KDOC and answered questions from the audience.
He said safety and security is the department's foremost concern.
But, another priority is the reduction of inmate recidivism.
The state's recidivism rate is 37.1 percent, which Roberts said is a significant drop since 2000. He said the state's recidivism rate also is lower than the national average.
Roberts said KDOC uses evidence-based practices to reduce recidivism and also focuses attention and resources on people considered to be at the highest risk of re-offending.
He said only 2 percent of the KDOC budget is devoted to rehabilitation efforts.
He said 18 percent of the budget is spent on health care.
"We're the largest mental health provider in Kansas," he said.
He said 38 percent of the state's prison population is mentally ill.
The KDOC has about 9,600 beds for its adult inmate population.
Roberts said 95 percent of the prison population will be leaving prison at some point.
He said Gov. Sam Brownback asked that Kansas inmates have volunteer mentors to help them as they make the transition back into communities.
"We release 5,000 inmates every year from the prison system," Roberts said.
He said more than 3,000 volunteer mentors have been trained to work with inmates six months before their release and six months after their release.
Roberts said the first-year results of the mentoring program look promising. The recidivism rate for inmates who had mentors is less than the rate for the whole population.
Roberts said the Lansing Correctional Facility is the largest of the state's correctional facilities for adults.
LCF has a capacity of around 2,400.
Roberts said LCF has 125 buildings on its grounds.
"It's a big place with a lot of hiding places," he said.
He said Lansing is second among the eight prisons in terms of the least amount of employee turnover.
Roberts said the KDOC is projected to be out of its current number of prison beds for male inmates by the end of fiscal year 2016. The department won't exceed its capacity for female inmates until fiscal year 2019.
He said there are three options for addressing the problem ― build more capacity, contract to house inmates or reduce sentencing penalties to reduce the number of inmates coming into the prisons.
"The state will have to make some decisions," he said.

Ten Reasons To Be An Adult Leaderstevejb68 on September 1, 2006 in Leadership, Training
It is that time of year. Boys around the country will be joining Boy Scouting for the first time this month. And new parents will be asked to help their troop by becoming an adult leader. There are many reasons not to be a leader, but let me give you ten reasons why you should become a Scouter. (These are not in any sort of order.)
1) Be a positive influence in a boy's life. I think we can agree that there are many youth out there who can benefit from more of this in today's world.
2) Learn new skills. You are never too old to learn a new skill. And to tell the truth, I don't think a person can ever learn too many skills.
3) Teach boys new skills. There are few things in life that will make you feel more proud then when you watch a boy or young man using a skill that you have helped them to master.
4) Make new friends. Not only will you form friendships with the boys, but you will also form new friendships with other Scouters.
5) Help your community. You provide this service through your unit's service projects and by helping boys grow up to be better adults.
6) Spend time in the Great Outdoors. You really do need to get out of that recycled-air, stressed-filled office environment at least once a month.
7) Have a good laugh. Working with Scout age boys can be fun and funny in many ways. Just remember to laugh with the boys, not at the boys.
8) Go traveling. There are thousands of places to go that provide a great Scout Outing. And do not forget the opportunities to go to a National Jamboree, Philmont, or the other high adventure bases.
9) Get some exercise. We could all use more exercise. Just try keeping up with a group of Boy Scouts.
10) Be a kid again! Scouting gives adults the chance to have just as much fun as the Scouts themselves. Make sure that you do!
Well, those are ten of my reasons for being an adult Scout Leader. I am sure that some of you reading this could add some more to the list. I invite you to leave a comment and add those reasons.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Mighty microchip: a transponder, tiny as a grain of rice with a longer lifespan than any dog or cat. Implanted between the shoulders, a microchip, though not a GPS, offers another level of ID protection for your pet. That is, if the chip is registered to your name and current address/ phone number. So many owners, mostly the puppy mill pet store customers, never do this simple step.
As an intake procedure, municipal shelters, animal hospitals, and humane groups should scan all new petsdogs and cats. Most microchips are either an AVID nine digit number or a Home Again ten character sequence that begins with a "4". Home Again even provides a clue- a yellow tag with the chip number for the pet to wear on a collar. The appearance of a chip # on a scanner followed by a call to either company's toll free # (AVID: (800)336-2843 or Home Again (866)738-4324) should be the ticket back home for lost Rover or Fluffy. Even when a chip trace is an unregistered dead end, an astute shelter employee or rescue worker can often back track via several phone calls to the pet's supplier. By asking the right questions, the caller can gather other inferred or concrete information. Here are some examples:
1) If not registered, the dog was
probably purchased in a pet store. In contrast, anyone that would go to the trouble of having a vet implant a chip will also pay the company's one time $20 registration fee. My tiny Cavalier was chipped during spaying; my Afghan as soon as I adopted her. Meanwhile, pet stores probably give the microchip info. along with the sales receipt but many customers fail to read the brochure or assume that the store has switched the chip for them.
"How much is that doggie in the window?" Your typical pet store customer is an impulse buyer, not an educated consumer. They tend not to do their dog homework: do not research their breed, are unaware or choose to ignore the abuses of puppy mills, and also fall for the expensive faux "designer breed" sales pitch. How someone could pay $1500 for a pet store Bulldog puppy (genetic flaws and all) or a week's salary for a mixed breed doodle dandy and not spend $20 more to register the chip is beyond me.
A few years ago many unregistered chips would go back to 2 Mid West suppliers- Hunte Corporation or I Love My Puppy Honey Dew. A cooperative agent might say which local store sold the dog. Then the store usually gave shelters more information. Now unregistered chips are listed by lot numbers. It is a bit harder (or impossible) to locate the store. Also many NYC pet stores import puppies from Eastern Europe implanted with chips at a frequency, not compatible with all American scanners. Recently a Havanese puppy came into a shelter with one of these fuzzy chips. The rescue that took her knows the pup is most likely an import. She also has a serious liver shunt defect.
2) The dog's birthdate- Yes, you can celebrate with a pooch party but this useful information also takes the guess work out of estimating a dog's age. A real birthday enables vets to make informed treatment decisions. The life of a stray is hard so dogs can appear older than they really aresomething I call the "Johnny Cash" factor. (He had a face that had lived.)
3) Breed or combo verification The plethora of designer dogs with a zillion variations on the theme is making it harder to ID dog breeds at shelters. Puggles have already hit the pounds. Combine that with the unkempt look of the shelter waif and you no longer know if you are staring at a Yorkie or a New Yorkie.
Last week Last Hope thought they took a Mini-Poodle (with a bad hairdo) out of a shelter. Someone insisted the dog was a Puli (a Hungarian breed). Though I knew he wasn't, the chip revealed a Cockerpoo rather than a Poodle. I also learned the dog's parents' names on his phony pedigree from an Amish mill.
4) Indicator that the pet has been in the shelter system before- Some shelters like the NYC's CACC, Glen Clove, and Southold are microchipping pets. You must have to re-register a CACC pet. Recently a LI town shelter took in 2 cats allegedly tossed from a car- one had a CACC chip. Presently there is a bill in the NYS Assembly (A0167) that would require the microchipping of all owned dogs and cats with the exception of ferals and fosters.
5) Definitive proof of ownership Last year a Lab came into a shelter. His "owners" rushed down to redeem him. Turns out the Lab had a chip that traced to someone in the Hamptons who had lost the dog 6 months before. It seems that the new "owners" only had him a few weeks. They had gotten him from a friend who never said he found the dog.
Giant Schnauzer Rescue just had a major recovery based on a chip. A foster dog (originally from Hempstead Shelter) was lost on a Virginia highway when the new owner had a bad car accident. A lady trucker was seen picking the dog up on the median and refused to return the dog. A multistate TV, police and flyer blitz ensued, staking out the trucker's home in Texas, and finally reclaiming the dog at a convenience store in Florida.
6) A Pup Polygraph- For various reasons, the public is not always honest when turning pets into shelters. Microchips do not lie. "Good Samaritans" recently said they found a "stray" Cocker and kept her over night before bringing her in. The chip said the dog belonged to their former tenant. Coincidence? Nah….
A few years back another couple said they found a Boston Terrier. I scanned him and assured them I'd try to find his owner. True confession time- he belonged to their recently divorced daughter who had returned home with her kids, cats and this dog. The Bostonian now lives in Connecticut. His new owner and I have become good friends.
Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon has a bundle of Beagles this week. This sweet female in Cage 53 was found running with other dogs at the Town landfill. I am concerned about her because she is in season. Another female tri-color Beagle found on Commack Rd. in Cage 55 resides now next to Ms. Landfill.
Male: a Pekingese in Cage 47; a black Sheepdog mix (looks like an over grown Scottie) in Cage 19.
Female: "Ice"- a small yellow Retriever mix - at the shelter since Oct. - in Cage 49; a Golden Retriever in Cage 65; "Isis"- a spayed black cat in the colony.
+For Adoption: 10 week male Beagle puppy. Prospective homes will be screened. 225-0741.

10 Inspiring & Cozy Window Seats
One of my favorite, and most lusted after, house feature is the window seat. Whether it's a tiny nook or an expansive bench, a window seat can never be wrong. They're great places to read a book, enjoy a cup of coffee, or simply just sit and gaze towards the outdoors. Here are some of the best window seat designs, where I could daydream in for hours on end.

The World Doesn't Revolve Around Washington Privacy Groups
from the nutty-approaches dept
A few months back we covered Ask.com's AskEraser feature, which was touted as a way of enhancing user privacy by allowing them to opt out of personalization features that involve collecting personal information about users. We praised Ask for focusing on privacy, but questioned whether the feature was more marketing gimmick than serious privacy enhancement. Still, we apparently weren't nearly as incensed as the Electronic Privacy Information Center, which went so far as to file a complaint with the FTC alleging that the service failed to adequately protect user privacy, because it set a cookie that included a down-to-the-second timestamp that could conceivably be used as a unique identifier. The only problem is that Ask fixed the problem weeks ago, replacing the timestamp-based cookie with a simple "yes" or "no" setting indicating whether the feature was activated. EPIC apparently didn't notice this, and plowed ahead with its complaint to the FTC. Ask.com even says that it "tried to engage in a constructive dialogue with the group last week, and was rebuffed." I found the response of EPIC Executive Director Marc Rotenberg particularly striking. He says the snafu is Ask's fault for not responding promptly to EPIC's threatening letters. And he says that AskEraser is "a nutty approach that does not scale." Rotenberg, in other words, seems to feel entitled to second-guess the details of how companies implement their products. Rotenberg certainly knows more about privacy law than I do, but I highly doubt that "nutty" or non-scalable privacy features are against the law. And I certainly don't think we want to get the FTC involved in second-guessing every detail of how websites are implemented.
