VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen at their May 22 meeting began their work on the 2012-2013 city budget by agreeing with City Manager Mel Hawley's recommendations for fire and sewer department spending, Mayor Michael Daniels said the next day.
Daniels said aldermen moved quickly on Hawley's $123,100 Vergennes Fire Department proposal because it will allow city officials to mail out contracts promptly to the other towns that share that cost with the city: Ferrisburgh, Panton and Waltham.

Dan Noel, principal of Robinson Elementary School, and his wife Nicki Bergstrom-Noel, an English teacher at Mount Abraham Union High School, made the decision to take a one-year leave of absence next year and take their two daughters — Delia, 4, and Hazel, 2 — on the adventure of a lifetime.

Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins agree to deal with RB Knowshon Moreno
For the past two years, the Dolphins didn't have a running back who could get that tough yard.
Now they have one who's so tough, he's not afraid to cry.
The Dolphins have agreed to terms with free agent running back Knowshon Moreno, the Miami Herald has confirmed, a one-year deal that NFL.com reported is worth $3 million. As of late Thursday, the team had not made the move official.
Even casual sports fans know Moreno as the back with the amazing tear ducts. His waterworks during the national anthem before a game last season launched a thousand (at least) GIFs.
Now he hopes to make opposing defenses sob. Moreno will, at the very least, compete with Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas for the starting job. He had nearly as many rushing yards last season as Miller and Thomas combined.
Moreno, who played all five of his NFL seasons with the Denver Broncos, visited with the Dolphins last week but left without a contract. He agreed to one Thursday.
Moreno ran for a career-high 1,038 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, averaging 4.3 yards per carry. He also caught 60 passes for 548 yards and three scores. He was the first back in Broncos history to go over 1,000 yards and catch 50 or more passes.
"Knowshon is a very versatile back," said retired receiver Dave Logan, who does the radio play-by-play for Broncos games. "He runs with great leverage. He's got toughness to him. And he's really very, very good at blitz pickup."
That final skill might be the most important for the Dolphins, who allowed a franchise-record 58 sacks in 2013. Of those, five were the fault of the running backs, according to the scouting service Pro Football Focus. Moreno, meanwhile, allowed just one in 19 regular-season and playoff games.
Moreno, who played collegiately at the University of Georgia, tore his ACL in 2011 but appears to have made a complete recovery.

But when they see a path to the finals that may go through the Rangers, Bruins and Penguins, and then say, "That's do-able," what universe are they living in?

When you have a star who was made captain not because he deserved it but in the hopes that it would prod him to get in better shape, cut down his carousing and show some leadership, why be shocked when he scores fewer goals (one) in a first-round exit than Rangers fourth-liner Arron Asham?

So I just think our mindset is very good, as far as not letting anything bothers us, just getting ready to play each day: Play the game, practice the next day and just go about our business."

It is not hard to mistake the conditions modern structures and modern structures because the two words imply a similar thing in informal utilization. However modern structures refers to the style which was motivated by the historical modernist skill activity, so that in fact most types of modern house ideas are in least fifty years of age. The modernist activity displayed a rebellion resistant to the traditions of basic structures. Because this movements spanned almost sixty years, it embraces different architectural styles including Arts & Crafts, ranch, and Art work Deco. The activity also produced giants in the pantheon of structures, including Frank Lloyd Wright in the us, Ludwig Mies truck der Rohe in Germany, and Le Corbusier in Switzerland.
The main element elements which distinguish modern structures are open up living spots, which is basically Frank Lloyd Wright's contribution. Wright thought that distinct rooms tended to block the flow of living. Thus, modernist home ideas are seen as a open floor strategies which incorporate spots for entertaining, calming, and eating. Modern country houseplans feature large plate-glass home windows and deck areas to raise the living space also to bring the sense of the outside inside. Another key aspect of the modernistic style is its clean geometric lines and insufficient adornment, rather than the embellished columns and arches attribute of the traditional style. Modernism also followed technologically-advanced materials such as material, cup, and concrete rather than the traditional rock, real wood, and plaster. Another key aspect of modernism is the "form employs function" ideal, which is basically the contribution of Mies vehicle der Rohe and his Bauhaus fans, whom you can give thanks to for any office cubicle. Mies' view was that homes and other structures should be large and wide-open to be able to support various functions, and then be subdivided as needed with movable displays and wall space. Mies presumed that the open up space would create a sense of community.
Although the idea of open up space in modern structures has overall look, probably Wright never thought for an instant about the issue of keeping all those things wide open space clean. With an wide open floor plan, it is not possible to shove muddle into a nook and close a door onto it. Indeed, in modern luxury home ideas you'll be able to see dirty food from the living room, so you can find nowhere to cover up from needing to keep carefully the kitchen spotless all the time. Also, although modernist architecture's give attention to using new technology and materials was quite thrilling in its time, right now the metal-and-glass bins appear frosty and sterile – in addition they show particles. While modern structures honors the thought of freely moving space, its slavish devotion to real function tended to disregard human needs. For example, towering modern condominiums and apartment complexes are a cost-effective use of limited land space, but their insufficient contact with aspect and greenery and of common areas discourages individual connection and promotes isolation. Open up space in the house can hinder people's dependence on privateness. Also few people actually want to live without sentimental objects because.
After you think of creating a fresh home you are confronted with two choices, create a traditional house or choose today's house plan.

Facades of stucco, hardwood, concrete and a glass, and even feature surfaces using material all add overall look. However, the surface often belies the available transparent dynamics of the structures beyond.
Natural light is paramount to today's house plan, using high ceilings, large glass windows and a proper considered floor intend to provide a sense of space and openness. No more is each room compartmentalised in a residence, but instead you will see kitchens starting onto eating and living areas, restrooms flowing into sleeping rooms and living areas starting to the outdoor spots. Along with numerous natural light, today's house plan has strong links to the outside. Porches, patios and courtyards are features that help bring the indoors out, and these features also give an illusion of your spacious home.
Modern house programs also offer versatile liveable space, allowing the house owner to change the home's operation to match their lifestyle. Modern properties include multiple enjoyable areas, for example in large open up kitchen areas, in the eating and the living areas, and out-of-doors over a deck or terrace.
These house strategies are also made to have better air flow than what you get in traditional homes. Setting windows in proper locations and aligning accessibility and exit things in each room permits a natural circulation of air through the home.
With global warming impacting on every area of the world, green homes have become popular with architects. The types of design selections in these homes include skylights, solar power panels and recycled materials. Skylights include natural light, lowering the necessity for lights, and solar power panels give a clean power source to force your home.

Concrete is great stuff, but when it gets damaged it can be annoying and dangerous. When used to make roads and bridges it can also be hell on your car's suspension, tires, and gas mileage.
Concrete damage happens gradually, and can often be blamed on something called "microcracking." Over time, tiny cracks form in concrete that allow water and pollutants to seep in and corrode it. What starts off as a small, barely visible problem can eventually deteriorate into a severe safety hazard.
But Korean chemist Chanmoon Chung, a chemist at Yonsei University, was part of a team that has invented a sprayable protective coating that can heal cracks in concrete as they form. It could save billions of dollars a year in the U.S. alone.
How it works is simple. The liquid contains countless tiny microcapsules filled with a healing solution. When there is damage to a surface — say, by car or truck tires — the capsules burst and fill the tiny cracks the tires create so they don't propagate.
There are some similar self-healing concretes and protective coatings already, but they need chemical catalysts to activate the healing solution. Chung's solution can harden using just sunlight.
We asked him about the new product:
Business Insider: So what are microcracks and why are they a problem?
Chanmoon Chung: When cracks form and propagate in concrete, water, chloride ions, and carbon dioxide penetrate through the cracks. This results in the deterioration of concrete, leading to a reduction in its serviceability.
BI: Can you tell me how your solution is different from the others currently available?
CC: A typical extrinsic self-healing system employs a microencapsulated healing agent and a (microencapsulated) catalyst. When microcracks propagate through the matrix, the healing agent is released from ruptured microcapsules and polymerizes on contact with the catalyst to repair the damaged region.
However, there are limitations of this system, including catalyst availability, cost, environmental toxicity, stability, and materials processing. Recently catalyst-free, self-healing systems have been studied to develop less expensive and more practical ways to self-repair polymeric materials. One autonomous, catalyst-free approach is self-healing under natural conditions, for example, in the presence of sunlight.
BI: About how long does it take to heal, once the capsules have been ruptured?
CC: In this paper self-healing was achieved by exposure to sunlight with relatively low intensity for 4 hours (the experiment was performed in November).
BI: Some of the news reports have said this polymer could save governments a lot of money in road repair. What are some of the other applications on which this coating could be used?
CC: Basically our self-healing coating system can be used anywhere concrete structures are present. We think that our system is especially suitable for concrete structures that are difficult [to] access (for example, a bridge over the sea). It can be difficult to inspect such concrete structures, so microcracks may cause big safety problems without recognition.
BI: What about something like an outdoor concrete water tank or a pool? Could the polymer work if it were at the bottom of a swimming pool filled with water?
CC: We think the coating might work to some extent in the water. In the case that the coating can't be exposed to sunlight in the water, just recoating by the healing agent in the crack region may occur.
BI: Could this work in places that have little sun during certain times of the year, like Alaska or Iceland?
CC: I think that the self healing coating could work under the conditions of little sun and intense cold because the healing agent has relatively high flowability and photoreactivity even under low temperatures.

Versatile Negron happy to fill any role for Reds
Kris Negron is the Reds' do-it-all utility second baseman/shortstop/third baseman/outfielder guy.
That's a lot of slashes.
Kris Negron is the Reds' do-it-all utility second baseman/shortstop/third baseman/outfielder guy.
That's a lot of slashes.
And while Cincinnati hasn't needed to make use of Negron at shortstop yet this season, manager Bryan Price has to be comforted knowing Negron can ease the pain of an injury-laden season for Reds position players -- Joey Votto hasn't seen game action since July 5, and Brandon Phillips went down just four days later -- in a variety of roles.
Some might call the possibility of being called on to play up to six positions a bit daunting.
Not Negron.
"In all honesty, I've been playing a lot of positions for a while now," Negron said. "For four or five years in Triple-A, I've been bouncing around from center to left, second, short, right, third. It all feels like home. If I'm asked to play right field, I feel comfortable enough to do it. If I'm asked to play short, the same thing.
"I did pitch one inning in Triple-A this year. It was a little scary. I got all three outs, didn't give up a run and got one strikeout. But it's a little too close to the plate for me. But if I'm asked to play there, I'll do it, too."
One thing's for sure: the 28-year-old has come as advertised.
After hitting .269 with three homers and 25 RBIs through 75 games with Triple-A Louisville this year, Negron got the call north to the Queen City on July 10, and he has hit .246 with another three dingers and nine RBIs in 21 games.
But things haven't always gone this smoothly for the New Jersey-born, California-raised Negron.
For one thing, Negron was drafted in 2006 by Boston, and he bounced around the Red Sox's farm system for three years before heading to Cincinnati in exchange for shortstop Alex Gonzalez and cash on Aug. 14, 2009.
It would be another three years before Negron saw big league action, and even then, he only appeared in four games before being shipped back to Louisville.
Five days after Negron's call to the Majors -- likely one of the happiest moments of his life -- came one of the most discouraging. He blew out his knee. That torn ACL and medial meniscus in his right knee ended his 2012 season and would require an offseason of rehab before he could make it back onto the field in 2013.
Negron is the first to admit it wasn't easy.
"It's tough," he said. "But that's just the way I was raised. I was in a military family, where we never give up. The odds are always going to be stacked against you. But no matter what, you just need to keep fighting, stay positive and work hard to get there.
"I think having that knee surgery kind of gave me a little bit more drive. Who knows when your career could end? I had to come back healthy in order to play. That kind of opened my eyes to a whole new perspective on my career, getting up on 28 now. Getting that little taste of what's going on up here [in the big leagues], that injury really propelled my mental state."
After all, it might have been easy to give up after six years of heart and hustle, but a positive state of mind allowed Negron to push away any thoughts of hanging up his hat.
"[Retirement] might've [been on my mind] a little bit. But as soon as it crossed my mind, I kind of washed it out," he said. "Because this is something I want to do until the jersey gets ripped off of my back. It's something I love, ever since I can remember. I just had to keep my nose down and attack the rehab process. I did that. They treated me real well ... and they got me ready for Spring Training. My knee feels well now, knock on wood."
That's not to say that worries about the knee disappeared forever after being given a clean bill of health.
"[After being hurt], I knew I had the chance to get back up here, but didn't know if I would get the opportunity again," Negron said. "And then last year I played -- I wasn't hurt, I was 100 percent healthy. I had a knee brace on and I think subconsciously I was worried about the knee a little bit."
But as he always had in the past, Negron bounced back, hitting a three-run dinger in the first at-bat of his first start. He'd spent all of spring in Arizona with the big league club and made the most of it, hitting .309 and honing his craft under the tutelage of fellow infielder Zack Cozart.
"We came up together, we're the same age," Negron said of Cozart. "He's always been behind me, always telling me to work hard, and always looking out for me. Even when I've been up here and playing up the middle with him, he still helps me a bunch. We talk all of the time, and he keeps me pointed in the right direction."
Cozart has nothing but praise for his teammate.
"He's done really well," Cozart said. "He's done what you want to do. When you get your opportunity, you want to take advantage of it. And I think he's done that. He's proven that he can handle the bat, he's got some pop and he's played well defensively at every position.
"I'm proud of him, because it's been kind of a long journey for him to get back here, and I think he's taken advantage of it like he should be. He should be up here for a long time, as good as he plays every position -- he plays short as well, handles the bat. It's cool to have him up here and playing well."
As it turned out, Spring Training was a turning point for Negron.
"Spring Training was a big leap for me," Negron said. "I was lucky enough to spend the entire Spring Training with the big league team. I got a lot of opportunities to showcase that I was healthy and could compete, whether it was defensively or offensively. That really springboarded a lot of what is happening now, even though I got sent down. My first month in Triple-A was a little rough, because I let it get to me a little bit. But I got my mind right from May on and just had to remind myself that I had to keep grinding."
Negron has shown himself to be a hard-nosed guy for whom that all-important mental aspect of the game comes easily.
"There's a lot of physical talent in this game, everyone is extremely gifted. But the mental aspect -- you never want to overlook that," he said. "It's a tough game, but you've got to be sharp mentally. You're going to have your ups and downs, but when your name is called, you have to be ready. The team is counting on you.
"Everybody's got that drive, that willpower within them to come out here and perform. And we all see the big picture, we all want to win, to go to the playoffs, to succeed. Just knowing that means so much more here in the big leagues, it gives [me] the drive every day to come out and compete."
Reds fans can rest assured that Negron's grit and hustle -- after he hit an eighth-inning dinger in Milwaukee, his trip around the bases clocked in at 16.12 seconds, according to Tater Trot Tracker, and evoked comparisons to former Red Adam Rosales -- isn't going anywhere, no matter what happens when Phillips returns from the disabled list next week.
"I'm just going to take it one day at a time, try to help the team when I can," Negron said. "I'm going to do whatever I'm called to do -- whether it's run, hit or defense, I want to help this team."

They better shouldn't have abandoned that poor gay kid in that basement.
They did the right thing, he's dead now and everybody is happy
*plays Halloween theme* Carson a overly gay kitty. Had dreams of pleasing his overgrown fantasy. He hoped that he would make love to Mikey. By luring his friend into a house that looked very freakily. But his plan backfired quite terribly. He fell into a hole and broke his knee. He hoped that Mikey would let him free. But he said no and let him be. Carson passed away quite suddenly and the cast was happy but some disagree. For they soon faced a dismal fate at the hands of a newborn legacy. ((add more to this song if you want. it goes to the tune of the Halloween Theme))
"Michael, I'm thinking of happy times. I'm thinking of the days when I was... your possibility. We were young, you had... we had a chance to... 'experiment'. You wouldn't even try it... not even a kiss. But now I'm thinking maybe if you're not game for a gay relationship, maybe you'll enjoy necrophilia." Carson emerges from the shadows, standing in front of Michael with a crowbar "AS THE CORPSE."
I laughed so hard, this is perfectly fitting!
gonzahermeg david looks like you
a crowbar
Who die first *cough mike cough*
carsons revenge.
Epic! Also, I'd watch it.
- and i like it

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter with lots of yummy chocolate, and enjoyed the extra couple of days holiday if you were lucky enough to not have to work over the Easter break?
I always love Easter, it's the first break off work since the Christmas festivities and to me it always marks the real start of Spring...fluffy chicks, daffodils and cute little lambs.
I'm not a chocolate fan myself -I'd much rather have a bag of crisps - so the only Sugar I overdose on is the rubber variety :)
The current Sugar Bowl challenge has the most fantastic display of entries from our Sugar Addicts...you are ALL a very talented bunch of crafters and I love nothing more than to wander through the blog to randomly select some cards....
This gorgeous card is Nicki's (Little Ted) entry into the Sugar Bowl. I love the lilac and lemon colour combo and the paper pieced umbrella is perfect..it ties the whole card together so beautifully.
What can I say but...GORGEOUS!!
Julie has used A Little Birdie Told Me for her card...another fabulous colour combo!
I am so loving lilac at the moment and Marianne has come up trumps with this ever so pretty card, using another of my favourite rubber babies...Best Day Ever, you must love her too as she's all sold out over at Funky Kits but she'll be back in stock soon :)
The challenge runs for almost another week...hope to see you there :)
Thanks for looking

After reading further on about death I have come to evidence that makes me believe that having an afterlife is a FAR STREEETCH from reality, it doesn't seem possible. It's freaky, it's depressing, but it's real.
Atheism doesn't comfort you when you're alone. It opens your life to the bittersweet birth that you were given, to make your life worth living. To enjoy the small things because your time here is PRECIOUS.
There are those people who die and claim to have gone to heaven, seen the light, seen angels, who have spoken to or who have talked to God.
Did you know that after your heart stops beating, your brain activity is active for 6 minutes before it fully shuts down? I think that what those people saw was merely a dream. Time slows down when you're dreaming, therefore an accurate perception of how much time you spent in heaven wouldn't be accurate of real time.
So what makes you so sure that your consciousness stays with you when you die? Your brain activity stops, and that is a fact. It is this very fact and reasoning to which I think that THIS IS IT, this one life is all you have.
I sometimes ponder the thought of dying when I'm alone, and this usually occurs when I'm lying in bed getting slowly falling asleep. Only to wake up with a mini panic attack realizing that I'm not dead after all. I Try to get rid of these taunting thoughts of never waking up. It just seems like life can be the most brutal, and unforgiving of all concepts.
But I wonder how many Theists actually believe in such stories.... I finished watching this documentary;
(A man broke his leg and fell down a crevice etc. I don't know if it's possible to survive such heights, but that's irrelevant". Because in the short clip he mentions that he was raised to be religious, and that when he truly felt helpless, never once thought that saying a bunch of hail marrys could save him from death.
I'm sure many religious people fear death (So do I), however how many of them would just sit there and rely on God for protection? I'm betting if they got out of it alive (And prayed), they would end up giving God credit for their own will and physical exertion to stay alive.
Prayer= A placebo effect (You think it works, but it does jack shit).
I guess my question to all of you freethinkers is this; what makes you unafraid of death? What makes you welcome it with open and untroublesome arms? To me this is the hardest part of being an Atheist (Or even human for that matter), without a way to pollute our mines with fairy tales, how can we ACCEPT our fate?
Views: 538
I am much more afraid of living than I am of dieing. I think any rational human being should come to the same conclusion as when you are dead you obviously won't know it. So how can you fear it?
I think the fear of death is only an issue simply because of religious dogmas that claim that Hell is a very real place, and a very real possibility.
Without Hell, Death is nothing more than what you feel when you are asleep without dreams. It's peaceful.
In other words, Death is simply what you felt before you were born.
Death freaks people out, because, as religions go along, they all claim afterlives to be very different from each other.
We have Heaven/Hell in Christianity, Reincarnation until you finally end up in the arms of God in Hinduism,The Afterworld in Buddhism and so on and so forth. But it still comes down to winding up in a better place after you die, when you have led a good life, according to the standards of the religion. But some people I argued with about religion, want to believe in, for example, Christianity, but want to be reborn aswell. I'm with on this one. It's simply what you felt before you were born.
I always figured if I was an old man I would embrace death much more assertively than I do now.
Thinking about being dead used to really freak me out, even when I was a Christian. Just picturing my body laying in a coffin would really bother me. The whole idea of my body being dead was almost unbearable to think about. I guess you could say it was a kind of neurotic fear, idk. I didn't care if I had a spiritual self happily bouncing around in heaven at the same time, I could not think about my body being dead without getting very upset.
The older I got, the less and less it got to be a big deal. I can say I don't fear death at all now. I'm over 45+ years old. (+4) lol. It does not bother me at all anymore.
In fact, one of my sayings I like to say when I am joking with someone who has just said something befitting, is to say: "Well just put me in the coffin and close the damn lid". LOL. Usually meaning "I'm to old to be useful to society any longer" or "I am not going to make it", etc. (joking around). It's not original. I heard someone else say it and liked it and stole it.
I certainly fear suffering! But not death.
Now, when you start talking about will you feel that you have lived a satisfactory life at the moment of your death, that's a whole other can of worms. For example, I often ask myself "When I am taking my last breaths, will I have a feeling of satisfaction and greatfulness inside of my heart for the life that I lived?
I like to think that I will. I feel there is a good chance that I will. I sure hope so.
There is a difference between some measurable form of "brain activity" and conciousness. There is actually no sharp boundary there. But neurons will start to die off almost immediately at rates with some dependency on body temperature.
Fear of death like in fear of being dead is rather silly. One could borrow from Bertrand Russell and reason from experience and observation that having been dead for billions of years before being born, all that time no one has ever reported having experienced the slightest discomfort. So what's to fear?
On the other hand fear of death like in the fear of dying makes (evolutionary) sense because it causes you to avoid taking great risks unnecessarily.

National Cancer Institute Awards $1.2M for Nemours Community Clinical Oncology Program
Second pediatric consortium of its kind in U.S.
Eric Sandler, MD
The Nemours Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders has received a 2-year $1.2 million grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the National Institute of Health (NIH), to establish the Nemours Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP). Eric Sandler, MD and E. Anders Kolb, MD, Principal Investigator and Associate Principal Investigator, respectively, will lead the initiative. Noteworthy as only the second pediatric CCOP in the country, the consortium brings together four Nemours sites and several cancer investigators in an integrated pediatric cancer network.
E. Anders Kolb, MD
The sites are:
- Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, Wilmington, DE
- Nemours Children's Specialty Care, Jacksonville, FL
- Nemours Children's Hospital, Orlando, FL
- Nemours Children's Specialty Care, Pensacola, FL
The formation of a pediatric CCOP is uncommon, given that pediatric cancer is relatively rare and therefore enrolling patients in significant numbers for studies can be challenging. Alignment of the four programs will enable greater enrollment and increase access to pediatric clinical oncology trials, particularly for a diverse population. The potential for positive impact is great given Nemours' institutional commitment, capable leadership and investigative team, highly supportive research environment and consortium-wide access to patient records and clinical trial data.
The prestigious award positions Nemours for future participation in the NCI Community Oncology Research Program. It is recognition of the oncology programs across the Nemours enterprise and reflects an ongoing commitment to advancing new cancer treatments, focused on a family-centered approach that includes consideration of psychosocial and other needs to reduce stress and improve outcomes.
Dr. Sandler, who is Division Chief of Hematology/Oncology in Jacksonville, Fla., said now that the four sites are linked, "it's a tremendous opportunity not only to take excellent care of kids as we already do, but to develop a more integrated program. We can look at our science together and help each other." Dr. Sandler and co-investigator, Dr. Kolb, Director of the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at duPont Hospital for Children, will also meet regularly with the other sites to collaborate.
About Nemours
Nemours is an internationally recognized children's health system that owns and operates the two free-standing children's hospitals: the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del., and Nemours Children's Hospital in Orlando, Fla., along with outpatient facilities in five states, delivering pediatric primary, specialty and urgent care. Nemours also powers the world's most-visited website for information on the health of children and teens, KidsHealth.org, and offers on-demand, online video patient visits through Nemours CareConnect. Nemours ReadingBrightstart.org is a program dedicated to preventing reading failure in young children, grounded in Nemours' understanding that child health and learning are inextricably linked, and that reading level is a strong predictor of adult health.
Established as The Nemours Foundation through the legacy and philanthropy of Alfred I. duPont, Nemours provides pediatric clinical care, research, education, advocacy and prevention programs to families in the communities it serves.

2014 Honda Accord Hybrid: Is This the Best Hybrid?
The 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid is the best hybrid you can get. Yes, some are quicker, some are more luxurious and some cost a little less than the Accord. As a total package, however, the Honda Accord does almost everything right and noticeably better than the competition.
Clearly, words such as "best" have all but lost their meaning. Is it the laziness of a younger generation, or is information overload forcing people to exaggerate constantly just to get noticed?
I'm not sure, but I do know that it's just not possible for every boyfriend, romantic comedy, NCAA bowl game, cup of coffee, SNL skit and steak dinner to be the "best."
The Best Hybrid?
Overused or not, I'm not backing off the "best" label for the Accord Hybrid. It's the car that finally delivers on the promise hybrids have been making for more than a decade -- a car that looks, acts and feels like a normal passenger car but delivers exceptional fuel economy for a reasonable price.
The Accord Hybrid's 50 miles per gallon rating on the highway is nothing to sneeze at. And when you look at the car more closely, it's obvious that this is more than just a fuel sipper.
Most hybrids don't "feel like a normal car." It's the transition from gasoline engine to electric motor (and back) that seems to be the sticking point for most. Honda has mastered it to where the transition is almost imperceptible to the average person.
We suspected the Accord was the best hybrid around when we drove it in San Antonio, Texas, in 2013. Now, we've spent a week with the car and have no reservations about saying it's the best hybrid you can get.
Doesn't Feel Like a Hybrid
Honda kind of cheated, however. The automaker started with the already great Honda Accord and tweaked it to earn a combined Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rating of 47 mpg. Despite the extra hardware and battery pack, the Accord hybrid is still fun to drive.
Even in aggressive driving we got 43 mpg on one tank and 48 mpg on another.
In econ mode and with a few days of totally babying the accelerator, we got 59 mpg in combined city and highway driving.
And somehow, the Accord Hybrid is still fun to drive. The steering is quick, handling is sharp and acceleration is amazing. If anything, Honda just gave you one good reason not to buy the V6 powered Accord Touring. The hybrid feels quicker from a stop and effortlessly achieves 50+ mpg.
Cargo Space
If there's a "but," it has to do with trunk space. A smaller-than-usual trunk was a problem for the first-generation Toyota Camry Hybrid, but Toyota improved trunk space with a subsequent update. The Camry Hybrid has a little more trunk space than the Accord Hybrid and offers a small cargo-area pass-through.
It's not a deal breaker, but the cargo-carrying capacity is a little less than a gasoline-only Accord. The Accord Hybrid has 12.7 cu ft of cargo space -- that's about 3 cu ft less than the gasoline-only Accord. It's not a lot; 3 cu ft is about the storage space of a small, dorm-room-sized refrigerator.
In real-world terms, the smaller trunk never left us stranded and could easily carry groceries, a collapsible kid's scooter or even several small suitcases.
The one thing about the Accord Hybrid that may give shoppers reason to pause is the price.
Value Packed
The base price (named just Accord Hybrid) is $29,945. Granted, it's not cheap, and cars such as the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius c are less expensive. But the Accord Hybrid is a bigger, better car, and one we think is a decent value.
For example, a Honda Accord EX-L with navigation is $30,785. That gets you leather seats, touchscreen audio, heated front seats, navigation, Bluetooth and a 185-horsepower gasoline engine connected to an automatic transmission.
A 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L is $32,695, or roughly $1,900 more. Granted, you're not getting navigation but you do get leather seats, Bluetooth, heated front seats, 10 hp more and much better fuel economy.
EPA estimates annual fuel costs for the Accord EX-L to be $1,600. The Accord Hybrid EX-L should cost about $1,050. That means it takes less than four years to make your money back if you purchase the pricier hybrid, and it's more powerful and thus more fun to drive.
The Accord Hybrid is so good, if Honda could find a way to offer a base version for about $21,000, the Accord Hybrid should just become the Honda Accord. It looks and acts like a normal sedan and gets an easy 50 mpg while doing it. You're not going to find a better hybrid.
Yes, the word "best" is overused. But when it comes to the Honda Accord Hybrid, it truly is the best hybrid you can get.

Guns plan meets fast resistance
President Barack Obama didn't even get an hour before the hopes of passing his expansive gun control package seemed to get bounced back by Capitol Hill.
Almost immediately after the president finished announcing a plan that centered on a universal background check system and new bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, Senate Democrats said that they would act only narrowly on Obama's sweeping proposals — and House Speaker John Boehner, whose Republican Conference opposes new restrictions, punted to the Senate, saying the House wouldn't act before the Senate did.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Politicians speak out on gun control)
Obama, though, said he intended "to use whatever weight this office holds to make them a reality" — and immediately engaged in the fight with the National Rifle Association, which is leading the opposition to new gun restrictions.
This is a moment in which all Americans, including NRA members, should stand up to its pressures, the president said. Without mentioning the NRA by name, Obama turned combative against the nation's largest pro-gun group. "If parents and teachers, police officers and pastors, if hunters and sportsmen, if responsible gun owners, if Americans of every background stand up and say, enough, we've suffered too much pain and cared too much about our children to allow this to continue, then change will come," he said.
( Also on POLITICO: NRA ad attacked for including first daughters)
Obama's urging for Americans to resist the influence of the NRA came just after the White House condemned a new ad from the group contrasting the armed protection that Obama's two daughters are given to the president's opposition to putting armed guards in schools.
"Most Americans agree that a president's children should not be used as pawns in a political fight," press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement. "But to go so far as to make the safety of the president's children the subject of an attack ad is repugnant and cowardly."
The NRA responded in a toned-down statement hours after the president finished speaking. "The NRA will continue to focus on keeping our children safe and securing our schools, fixing our broken mental health system, and prosecuting violent criminals to the fullest extent of the law. We look forward to working with Congress on a bi-partisan basis to find real solutions to protecting America's most valuable asset – our children."
( Also on POLITICO: Why Obama's gun plan may be doomed)
Obama's legislative proposals and executive actions are the first major gun control measures to come from the White House in a generation, and come after a month of quick work by a group led by Vice President Joe Biden tasked with responding to the mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.
The president initiated 23 executive actions, including nominating a new leader for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, after he spoke. Together, they're expected to cost $500 million in fiscal 2014.
( PHOTOS: Will these guns be banned again?)
But overcoming the NRA isn't the only challenge Obama faces.

This is part of a two-part webinar geared for teachers with little or no experience with JUMP Math. In this two-part webinar we will present a number of proven methods that teachers can use to engage their students in learning mathematics. By using continuous assessment, by breaking explanations into manageable steps, and by challenging students to discover ideas by incrementally raising the bar, teachers can keep their whole class moving along at roughly the same pace.

Here's a fun, albeit easy, game of "tell me what's wrong with this picture" for you regular DSB'ers out there.As many of you know this is Tim Ball , star of the recent "Great Global Warming Swindle" that is receiiving a regular thrashing right now, even by one of the scientists that appeared in the film. I blurred it a little to make it at least somewhat of a challenge.

Ah ha!
Finally an answer! So in the shock jock Durkin's latest grab at instant notoriety, Ball is touted as a current professor at the University of Winnipeg (which he isn't) and from the department of climatology which doesn't exist now or ever.
This is spin and at first it might seem petty, but what would have been the impact of Ball's appearance in the film if his title was: Dr. Tim Ball, retired professor of geography, university of winnipeg.
Or better yet: Dr. Tim Ball, current "Chairman" of an organization founded by Ottawa energy lobbyists.

Nothing really wrong with this picture, I think he is just being very expressive of what he says. Where the world economy seeing its worst nightmares come true. We must learn certain basic life principle that can go along the way that will help one in having a peaceful and fulfilling life even the economic situation gets worsen and worsen. It is just a normal tendency for each one if us to think something for future especially when it comes to financial issue. House and Senate debate a bonus tax on bailed out companies, Wal Mart is doing just fine. If it passes the bonus tax won't apply to Wal Mart. Wal Mart, the perennial retail heavyweight champion, has actually posted a pretty good year, and that's the reason they're giving cash advances out to their employees, down to the lowly stock people and cashiers. While larger firms invest a lot of money to make it look like they really do something, Wal Mart has actually done the work and posted profits. They shouldn't have to pay a bonus tax.

Biological Sciences
Research Highlights
November 2007
Comprehensive Whole-Proteome Analysis Now Available to Scientific Community
Shows potential of mass-spec-based proteomics for improving genome and proteome annotations
Results: Researchers from the University of California-San Diego, the Burnham Institute for Medical Research and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory recently demonstrated the capability to rapidly and efficiently improve a proteome annotation. Their work highlights the potential for using mass spectrometry-based proteomics to complement genome sequencing and improve both genome and proteome annotations. The results appeared in the September 2007 issue of Genome Research.
The researchers used liquid chromatography-coupled mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for proteomic and genomic annotations of the bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. While bacterial genome annotations have improved significantly in recent years, the number of sequenced bacterial genomes is rising sharply, far outpacing scientists' ability to validate the predicted genes, let alone annotate bacterial proteomes. Also, opposed to annotation processes, techniques—such as determination of post-translational chemical modifications, signal peptides and proteolytic events—are still in their infancy.
Why it matters: The work is addressing the potential for proteomics measurements as they relate to understanding biological systems important to environmental remediation efforts. The study demonstrates that complementing every genome-sequencing project by an MS/MS project would significantly improve both genome annotations at a reasonable cost. It is also one of the most complete proteome analyses ever made available to the scientific community
(see http://ober-proteomics.pnl.gov/data/).
Methods: Using 0.7 Terabytes (~150 DVDs) of data obtained from numerous proteomics studies of S. oneidensis MR-1, an important microbe for bioremediation, the research team generated the first comprehensive map of post-translational modifications in a bacterial genome. The massive volume of data, which was provided by PNNL's High-Throughput Proteomics Production Facility, was the result of steady growth in throughput and data production over recent years. It included samples from 17 cell culture conditions and comprised the largest LC-MS/MS dataset ever reported for a bacterium. The map also detected multiple genes that were either missed or assigned incorrect start positions by gene prediction programs. Using very conservative cutoffs for peptide identifications, they confirmed the protein expression of 1992 out of 4928 predicted genes from The Institute for Genomic Research.
They also corrected or redefined the gene boundaries of 38 genes, eight of which were new and not included in the genome, and provided evidence for 13 gene products that were previously annotated as pseudogenes. Additionally, the researchers confirmed the signal processing for 94 proteins. All of these results contribute to the verification and validation of gene expression for use in future studies.
These charts show the correlations between coverage of individual proteins by MS-peptides and their biological features deduced from comparative genomics. Among the proteins with the best coverage, there was a strong correlation with conservation in many genomes (blue bar chart) or essentiality in Escherichia coli (red bar chart). Shown are functional categories by coverage (multicolored bar chart), demonstrating that some proteins are more represented at different levels of coverage in functional annotations from both TIGR and the Fellowship for Interpretation of Genomes' SEED functional annotations.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Company Favored Mexican Workers Over American Workers, Federal Agency Charges
ATLANTA – Hamilton Growers, Inc., doing business as Southern Valley Fruit and Vegetable, Inc., subjected American workers to discrimination based on their national origin at its Norman Park, Ga., location, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed recently.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, the company engaged in a pattern or practice of firing virtually all American workers while retaining workers from Mexico during the 2009 and 2010 growing seasons. The agency also alleges that the employer fired at least 16 African American workers in 2009 based on race and/or national origin when their termination was coupled with race-based comments by a management official. The lawsuit also alleges the employer provided lesser job opportunities to American workers, which resulted in their earning less pay than their Mexican counterparts, and subjected American workers to different terms and conditions of employment, including less desirable job assignments.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of national origin and race. The EEOC filed suit (Civil Action No., 7:11-CV-00134-HL) in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The EEOC is seeking back pay and compensatory and punitive damages for 19 persons who filed charges with the agency and for other American workers harmed by the practices. The agency is also seeking injunctive relief designed to stop the discrimination and prevent it from recurring in the future.
"The EEOC has reason to believe that the practices alleged in the lawsuit are relatively common in the industry," said Bernice Williams-Kimbrough, district director for the EEOC's Atlanta District Office."The EEOC is committed to protectingAmerican workers from arbitrary firings and disparate treatment due to national origin."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.
