Rated 3 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 3 out of 5 by drea33 Very nice, high quality, however... The main picture of the woman wearing the shawl makes it look like there are sleeves! Am I crazy? I keep looking at her wearing this product and I swear it's a shawl with sleeves. No, I'm not crazy she has sleeves. That being said, if you know going into it there are NOT sleeves you will be more satisfied. The last 3 photos are more representative of the product. I gave it 3 stars because it is a very nice piece of cloth, however I feel the first 2 photos to be quite misleading hence minus 2 stars. May 28, 2014

Can you please tell me if the striped pattern is primarily brown with think black stripes? I think so, but it is difficult to tell from the picture

Answer:The Floral Tapestry meditation colors are a mix of Merlot, Brown and Black. The pattern you see in the picture is fairly accurate but because it is a fair trade product, the one you receive might be slightly different since they are hand woven, making each one of them unique.

The treatment you receive depends on several factors, including your overall health, the stage of the disease and whether the cancer has spread to other parts of your body. Treatments are often combined and can include the following:
Melanoma is usually treated first with surgery and may be followed by chemotherapy, radiation therapy and biologic therapy.
Radiation therapy, also called radiotherapy, is the careful use of radiation to treat many different kinds of cancer.
External beam radiation therapy may be used to treat skin cancer itself or to relieve pain from cancer that has spread.
The side effects you might feel will depend on the part of your body being treated, the dose of radiation given and whether you also receive other treatments like chemotherapy. Before treatment begins, ask your doctor about possible side effects and how you can best manage them.
Talk to your doctor or nurse about any discomfort you feel. He or she may be able to provide drugs or other treatments to help.

Pat O'Malley's Jet Room
Now that the Thanksgiving break has come to a close, it's time to get back to business. With a mere three weeks left in the semester, there is a lot of flying to be had with little time to have it. Although the break was meant for relaxation, I managed to get some flying in (not to say that it wasn't relaxing!). It occurred to me earlier this year that in the two years I've had my pilot's certificate, my family had never flown with me. I felt sort of guilty since they had provided me so much support during my initial training. I asked my sister, Jessica, if she would like to get lunch with me on Black Friday. We set a departure time of 10:00 am so we could both participate in the crazy Black Friday crowds.
When I'm at home near Chicago, I fly out of the Westosha Flying Club in Wilmot, WI. Although it is a 39 minute drive from my house, their not-for-profit mindset makes it so affordable to take trips like the one we were about to take. After preflighting the Cessna 172P, we took off and turned on course to the Dane County Regional Airport. The winds aloft were relatively calm from the Northwest which gave us about a 90 knot ground speed. The 60 nautical mile trip took about 50 minutes to complete. The landing at Madison was a greaser. It was also the first time I had to worry about wake turbulence as we were landing behind an Air Wisconsin flight. Staying above the jet's descent path kept me out of trouble.
We were met by the fantastic service offered at Wisconsin Aviation on arrival. As soon as I shut down the plane, line service was very polite and ready to fulfill any request I had; all we needed was the tanks topped off. The Jet Room is conveniently located right inside the Air Wisconsin terminal with a view of the ramp. Although the restaurant is small (think diner style), we were seated immediately. Jessica ordered the "ultralights" (two huge pancakes) while I got "the landing strip" (a BLT). I'll have to admit, although I am no food blogger, that was some good food. My sister had even said that she had the best pancakes ever! We headed back to the terminal after paying our bill (which wasn't that much) to pay for our fuel and get ready to depart.
Since this was a class C airport, I had to get a clearance to depart even though I was going to be flying VFR (Visual flight rules). I used the phone inside to call them up. Once I let them know my planned altitude and heading, they gave me a squawk code to put in my transponder. After a quick check of the ATIS, ground control routed us to runway 21 and off we went back to Westosha. The flight back was essentially event free with the exception of a couple of vectors for traffic within the Charlie airspace. My landing back at Westosha was fairly well despite winds blowing 13 knots to 19 knots. Runway 24 at Westosha likes to suck altitude about 50 feet before the threshold. By adding 4 or so extra knots to my final approach speed and 20ish extra feet, that sink hole put me right where I needed. With another 2.0 in the logbook and some more cross-country time, I'm ready to get back to work.

BY BRIAN McGILLIVARY
TRAVERSE CITY — Betsy Coffia chose to run an unconventional campaign for Michigan's 104th House District by eschewing the lifeblood of the modern campaign: Political Action Committee money.
Coffia refused to accept any large donations from organizations or special interests. Instead she's relied on individual donations and an army of volunteers to spread her message.
"This is about the democratic process, which should be about people, not money," said Coffia, a Democrat. "You can't say that and then turn around and take that money."
Coffia's message that special interest money is purchasing — and undermining — democracy resonates with voters, but she faces the "proverbial catch-22," said Ross Richardson, a county commissioner and vice chairman of the county Democratic Party.
"Money in politics is what you use to get your message out, and without the money it's a little difficult to get your message out," he said. "She's a great candidate ... but it costs money to run a race."
Her opponent, two-term incumbent Republican Wayne Schmidt, said he takes her challenge seriously. He's doing all the standard campaign tactics: knocking on some doors, sending out mailings, and paying for a radio ad that encourages listeners to send the "Republican team" back to Lansing.
Schmidt raised over $131,000 this election cycle, much of it from special interests. But since the August Primary Schmidt spent just $19,154 campaigning, and that includes a $4,000 gift to the House Republican Campaign Committee. It also includes travel expenses for campaigning for Republicans in targeted races around the state.
Coffia raised $18,900 for the campaign and spent $10,747 since the primary.
Republicans show no signs of concern about Coffia, though they acknowledge she has run a spirited, well-organized campaign.
"She's not going to beat Wayne, this county usually polls 60 to 40 Republican," said Larry Inman, Grand Traverse County Board chairman and a hopeful to replace Schmidt in 2014.
Coffia said she's been underestimated on other occasions.
"We're making up for not having a boat-load of money with a boat-load of people," Coffia said. "We have so much grass-roots energy, and word of mouth, that's powerful."

Can we have the same results in February?
The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Source: Packers WR Randall Cobb to miss 6-8 weeks
Green Bay - Wide receiver Randall Cobb suffered a fractured fibula in Green Bay's 19-17 win over the Baltimore Ravens and will miss 6-8 weeks, a source said Monday.
The third-year wide receiver left Sunday's game in the first half after absorbing a low tackle from Baltimore's Matt Elam. He eventually left for the locker room on a cart and later returned on crutches.
The source indicated that Cobb nearly broke the fibula all the way through on the play.
If Cobb does miss the full eight weeks, he'd return Dec. 15 against the Dallas Cowboys. The Packers remain optimistic that the injury is not season-ending.
On the play, with 30 seconds left in the first half, Cobb ran an out and up and reached for an Aaron Rodgers pass. The rookie Elam went to tackle Cobb low, striking the receiver's right leg. The fibula is the outside bone in the lower leg, located lateral to the bigger tibia.
Coach Mike McCarthy wouldn't get into details on injuries himself Monday, only saying that Cobb would miss "multiple weeks."
This is essentially a repeat of last season when Greg Jennings was forced to miss eight games with a core muscle injury. Green Bay still had the weapons at receiver in Cobb, Jordy Nelson, James Jones and Jermichael Finley to reel off 10 wins in 11 games and clinch the NFC North. Now, they'll need to find a way to adjust again.
On the bright side for the Packers, Jones does have a chance to play this weekend. The source indicated that his knee injury is not serious.
Whether it's using Finley more as a wide receiver, more Jarrett Boykin or many more games of 20-25 carries for Eddie Lacy, Green Bay must cope with the loss of its most versatile player.
Sunday's game was a preview.
"I think we did a good job of adjusting," offensive coordinator Tom Clements said. "We ran similar type plays, we just put different people in there, and utilized the same basic concept and the same basic protections, and the guys who were inserted did a good job. It's unfortunate when you lose guys but it's not as if it never happens. We've had to deal with it before and we'll adjust accordingly."
Through five games, Cobb caught 29 passes for 378 yards and two touchdowns. In 2012, he had 80 receptions for 954 yards and eight scores.

Can we have the same results in February?Hide replies
A could use a little Deja Vu completed.
curious if anyone knows if this is a better "sports" injury to have vs. various ligament injuries around the knee. primarily interested in lingering effects. My first thought is a break is better for have a clean recovery than ligament damage but I'm not I medical field.Hide replies
I'm not a medical expert, although I did go to the doctor once, but I agree, a fractured bone is better by far than an ACL injury.
Depends on the nature of the break. I broke my tib/fib - more serious same thing as Sherrod in college. It took a year to be able to walk well let alone run. Then another year until I was able to play competitive athletics again.
Bones tend to heal faster than Ligaments. When dealing with ligaments often times surgery is required, leading to longer recovery times.
Please Ted T. find a real receiver for us even if you have to trade a mid-round draft choice. We have a shot this year. Myles White and Boykin will not be enoughHide replies
If Boykin and White were not REAL receivers would TT have them on the roster?
Is DD a possibility or is that tank empty?
Driver is not a viable candidate. Too many better options.
Driver may not be an empty tank but he is not the best option. They can line up Finley in the slot and use another TE. Cobb brings so many options to the table that his loss is big but we still have multiple weapons.
I really like getting Tavarres King if that happens as speculated in Denver. Guy was a stud last year at Georgia. We are going to have to severely overpay for a veteran and it isn't worth it. I don't want to give up a 3rd for Nicks
Wow, this is a biggie! I've been saying since game one that this Packer team has a legitimate shot for the Super Bowl.
Still, some injuries is one thing, but this injury and what seems to be a significant one to Nick Perry have me really frustrated - ok, pissed off!
We'll see what TT does, the initial report of 2-4 weeks was a lot different than this. We still have a solid team but things better not get any worse.

I question the source We are getting multiple stories from multiple outlets. Its a knee, it is a broken leg, etc. The only thing we know it is somewhere between 2 and 8 weeks, and of course we really don't know that either, for sure anyway.Hide replies
Multiple sources are saying broken fibula 6-8 weeks
Sounds like Cobb is a candidate for the 6 week IR player each team can designate.
I think the official was wrong to throw a flag on the Ravens' DB for the hit on Cobb. It was an unfortunate result of a guy trying to make contact anywhere but the head area. I agree with those who say that this type of injury will be on the rise with all the emphasis on not hitting around the head. The DB's cannot win in todays' game. I'm sure he'll probably be fined, too.
I'm only glad Cobb's injury wasn't more serious. If I were the Packers I would not count on Cobb coming back this year. I would give Donald Driver a call and see if he wants to make a comeback. The guy always stays in fantastic shape and he could be ready to go in a matter of weeks, I would think. And I bet he'd love the chance to return. And Rodgers would love to have him. If not Driver, Packers need someone, for sure. I hope it isn't Jeremy Ross. He's done enough damage to the Packers already.Hide replies
I might be wrong but I don't think the officials flagged Elam. I thought Sitton got flagged for unsportsmanlike on that play after it was over. Agreed on Elam. Guy was doing it right and it was an unfortunate happening.
There was no flag thrown for the hit. It was thrown after the play after a Packer player shoved a Ravens player.
Driver is done. Time to move on.
no flag on the DB there hoss, it was on the packers unsportsmanlike conduct after shoving some ravens player.
I have to agree with marko61. The hit was NOT illegal based on current rules and I would say was not even "dirty" or "cheap". Elam was simply trying to make the tackle and went low instead of high. As for Driver, there are far more and better options available than Driver.
And that flag on Sitton was ridiculous. You've got a guy on the ground with a broken leg, and after Elam steps at Rodgers, Josh puts out a hand to stop him. Elam flops. grrrrrrrrr
For his own long term health, we should shut him down for the season.
Our injury recovery forecasts have always been wildly optimistic anyways.
Is D Driver still in shape?Hide replies
Driver is done. Wish it was not true, but it is.
Geez 8 weeks......................he'll be back for the last game of the season at that rate.
Huge BUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hide replies

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — TOWN OF TONAWANDA — Students and school district officials thanked legislators at a local presentation Friday afternoon for their support of an efficiency grant that will go toward conserving energy and saving money.
The Governor's Local Efficiency Grant funded the installation of an end point management system, which automatically powers off approximately 94,000 computers located in schools throughout the county.
"The system can also remotely turn the computers back on at the prescheduled time for instructional activity, making sure that no time is lost while the computers boot up," Carol Barber, the deputy district superintendent of Erie 1 BOCES who worked on the project, said at the presentation held at Kenmore West High School.
The $570,500 grant will help Ken-Ton save over $100,000 each school year. The savings across the county will go a long way to helping districts who are struggling financially as state aid continues to dwindle.
"In these turbulent and difficult times, we didn't want to miss this opportunity," Donald Ogilvie, the district superintendent of Erie 1 BOCES said. "This is the kind of thing that will change practices in years to come, and the savings will come back ten fold."
The technology can also automatically update anti-malware, anti-virus and other software updates, which eliminates the need for technicians to visit every building and perform those tasks manually.
"An update that would take Ken-Ton two weeks will now take four hours," Barber explained.
Ken-Ton students in Andrew Lueth's technology class at Benjamin Franklin Middle School also got the chance to take part in the celebration Friday.
"These students are active in the recycling club, or worked very hard on classroom projects that focused on sustainability and energy," Lueth said. "They are positive, young role models."
The students presented posters that helped communicate just how much energy the grant will save by turning off the 5,327 computers in the district and many more countywide.
"The carbon footprint of our district will be reduced by 45 tons, and the footprint of the county will be reduced by 795 tons," one student explained.
Another student said that the amount of energy saved in the district over one year is the equivalent of turning off 1,295,274 light bulbs for 24 hours. In the county, the equivalent is $22,830,829 light bulbs.
Powering down the computers is also comparable to saving 2,608 trees in Ken-Ton and the removal of 274 passenger cars.
The students who took part thanked the legislators on hand, including State Assemblyman Robin Schimminger, State Senator Patrick M. Gallivan and representatives from State Sen. Mark Grisanti's office, for their attempts to save operational costs and put money back in the classrooms. Those legislators received small planted trees that served as the backdrop for the event.
In turn, Schimminger thanked the students for their involvement.
"We are most impressed with you," he told them. "All of you have furthered your goals by working hard on this project and others, and there are students like you across the 29 districts in the county who will benefit from this grant."Contact reporter Jessica Bagley at 693-1000, ext. 4150

SWANTON, Vt. — Swanton Sector Border Patrol agents stopped the smuggling attempt of an aggravated felon recently.
At about 1:30 a.m., agents from the Champlain Border Patrol station encountered a suspicious black SUV with four occupants traveling east on State Route 276 near Rouses Point. When agents stopped the vehicle they discovered a male driver and three male passengers all claiming to be citizens of El Salvador.
Further investigation revealed that the driver and one of the passengers are citizens of El Salvador residing in the United States as lawful permanent residents. The second passenger is also a citizen of El Salvador illegally in the United States. The third passenger turned out to be a citizen of the Dominican Republic and an aggravated felon previously removed from the United States.

A coalition of women's groups and elected officials is denouncing advertising being run by supporters of Republican congressional candidate Craig Huey, who is running against Democrat Janice Hahn in Tuesday's election.
In a conference call Thursday, Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILY's List, which works to elect pro-choice Democratic women, said, "We are here to talk directly to the women of California's 36th Congressional District. Craig Huey and his friends have continued to dismiss and disrespect the women of this district." She was joined on the call by NARAL Pro-Choice America President Nancy Keenan and Rep. Judy Chu (D-Monterey Park).
Schriock criticized a radio advertisement paid for by the political action committee The National Republican Trust as "one of the most blatantly sexist ads produced on [Huey's] behalf."
In a flier being distributed to voters in the district, Scott Wheeler, executive director of National Republican Trust, describes the message behind the advertisement:
"We have a 'girl next door voice' reading our ad attacking the pro-abortion Hahn even though this is a heavily weighted pro-abortion district. We want the pro-abortion voters that would certainly support the liberal Hahn to STAY HOME! By making the point that the ECONOMY and not abortion is the key issue, we can discourage Democrat voters and drive them away from the liberal Democrat candidate."
In response to Wheeler's flier and to the advertisement itself, Schriock said, "Craig Huey's allies are openly and specifically trying to suppress women's votes because they know California women reject his extreme positions. The women of California's 36th District are not dumb. Tea party radicals are doing everything they can to send Huey to Washington to have him be a foot soldier for their [anti-women agenda]."
In the few days left before the election, Schriock said members of many women's organizations would be telephoning those on their mailing lists to urge Democratic women to vote.
"I'm telling women right now to show up, be heard, be counted and vote," Schriock said.
On the conference call, Keenan too urged women to vote for Hahn.
"Huey is out of touch with the values of voters in CD36 and his latest radio ad smacks of desperation and distraction," she said. "The more voters learn about his anti-choice views, the more unacceptable he becomes."
Keenan added that the reason National Republican Trust claims in its latest advertisement that the abortion issue is "not relevant" is because California is a strongly pro-choice state.
"The bottom line," Keenan said, "is that on Tuesday, the choice is between Janice Hahn, who will protect women's privacy, or Craig Huey, who will deny women their privacy."
Chu, who represents California's 32nd District, was in the middle of a judiciary hearing Thursday but managed to join the conference call briefly.
"Craig Huey does not support women and their issues," she said. "I've seen with my own eyes how House Republicans want tea party radicals like Huey. They've already defunded Planned Parenthood and cut social services."
Chu added, "You'd think [the House Republicans] would focus on jobs and the economy but they have focused their first few acts on declaring war on women." She went on to cite several examples, including cutting Title X funding that provides reproductive health services such as breast and cervical cancer screenings to low-income and uninsured women, as well as the H.R.3 anti-abortion bill.
"[Huey's supporters] are trying to get women to stay home by saying their reproductive rights aren't at stake," said Chu. "But women need to turn out because their rights are being threatened."
After the call, Schriock told Patch, "We have thousands of members in the district and we're going to go talk to them and make sure they go out and vote for Janice Hahn on Tuesday and prevent another anti-choice Republican making it into Congress."

No frozen tundra for 49ers, thanks to Vikings
Published: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 9:04 p.m.
SANTA CLARA — Temperatures should be in the 30s at Lambeau Field in Green Bay when the 49ers-Packers NFC divisional playoff game kicks off this Saturday. Thanks to Adrian Peterson, Blair Walsh and a surprising letdown by the Packers, that fact is completely inconsequential to the Niners right now.
Photo Galleries
When Walsh capitalized on Peterson's big run and converted a 29-yard field as time expired in Week 17, he sent the Minnesota Vikings to the playoffs. More pertinent to Bay Area football, that kick elevated the 49ers to the No. 2 seed in the NFC and relegated Green Bay to No. 3. So it's the Packers who will be boarding a plane for an excursion into hostile territory later this week, and not the Niners.
"It was difficult because I think a lot of us were looking forward to a week off, and getting Charles (Woodson) another week to be healthy, and Randall (Cobb), and some of our guys who are a little banged up," Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said by phone Tuesday. "So that was disappointing. ... And we had to come back in on Monday and get ready for a tough division opponent."
"Now we know what's in front of us," Rodgers added. "We've gotta go on the road and play a really good football team."
The 49ers watched the dramatic end of that Week 17 Minnesota-Green Bay in their locker room, minutes after dispatching the Arizona Cardinals at Candlestick Park. The players roared their approval when Walsh's kick sailed through the uprights, and their raucous joy has settled into deep satisfaction in the days since.
The implications were significant, beginning with having to play one less playoff game. The Packers survived their first-round rematch with the Vikings, winning 24-10 at Lambeau. But nothing is assumed in the NFL playoffs, and the 49ers were happy to be given a free pass to Round 2.
The first-round bye also allowed the Niners to get a head start on preparation for Saturday's game. The Packers had to spend last week hyper-focusing on the Vikings again, while San Francisco was able to break down film on its three potential Round 2 opponents — Green Bay, Washington and Seattle. Since they had played the Seahawks twice, the 49ers primarily attended to the Packers and Redskins.
Probably more important, the Packers were forced through the grinder of another NFL week. As Rodgers alluded, players like Pro Bowl defensive back Charles Woodson and wide receivers Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson could have used an extra week of rest. And tight end Jermichael Finley came out of the victory with a minor hamstring strain.
The 49ers' weekend was a like a couple of spa days in comparison.
"Oh, man, if we had to play last week, we'd all be sore," tight end Delanie Walker said. "Just routine injuries, you know? Your legs are tight; they'd probably be even more tighter, just knowing that you would have played a physical game. Because this is the playoffs. Every game will be physical."
Walker said he's been getting regular massage work and chiropractic adjustments since the season ended, which tends to feel better than blocking down on defensive ends. Many of his teammates have been similarly indulgent.
"That bye week is a crucial thing," defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois said. "That's for all teams in the league. ... Taking a 16-week season, you're gonna have that wear and tear, and your body gonna start slowing down. But when you got that bye, there's some things you can knit back up and let's get back running on the field."
The mental rest can be just as important for NFL players. The 49ers, for example, had played eight straight weeks since their Nov. 5 bye.
That's eight weeks of cycling through film study, practice and the building intensity of game day.
And there is another obvious advantage of getting the No. 2 seed. Lambeau Field, with its weather and its history and its happily lunatic fans, is not an inviting place for a visiting team. Instead of booking flights for Wisconsin, the 49ers are happy to make the Packers ...
"Come to us. Absolutely," right guard Alex Boone said. "That's a long flight. And obviously the weather difference, it's gonna be a little bit warmer here. But it's always good to have home-field advantage."
Not that road teams don't win playoff games in this league. Two years ago, the Packers won three of them — at Philadelphia, Atlanta and Chicago — en route to a Super Bowl victory. Last year, the Giants won at Green Bay and San Francisco on their way to the NFL championship.
And as the 49ers found out in Week 10, when they tied St. Louis 24-24 at home, the relaxing comforts of a bye are no guarantee of success the next week.
"We gotta come back out smoking," cornerback Carlos Rogers said.
"We can't come out like we did on our bye week, came out and played St. Louis, and we wasn't ourself. We got to take that as something that's good and just come out energetic and ready to go."
Just as the home fans are getting ready to show up in droves. Parkas strictly optional.
Offensive coordinator Greg Roman is expected to be a candidate for Jacksonville's vacant head coaching position after the Jaguars hired his long-time colleague, David Caldwell, as general manager.
Asked if any teams had contacted him regarding interviews, Roman said: "I'm not going to talk about any of that stuff. I'm focused on the Packers coming in."
DL Justin Smith practiced Tuesday, but defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said the Pro Bowler would be limited against Green Bay if his triceps injury has not adequately improved.
"If he's not playing up to his standard or close to it, then we'll put the next guy in," Fangio said.
"Because it's always been my experience, somebody at 80 percent is not as good as the next guy at 100 percent."
As of Tuesday, the 49ers still had not made a decision on their placekicker. David Akers and Billy Cundiff both kicked at practice.

I cover finance, the law, and how the two interact.
It turns out $20 billion is a lot of money. Enough, BP says, to settle all the claims of residents and businesses along the Gulf Coast and pay unknown billions in fees to lawyers who refused to miss out on the largest environmental tort in U.S. history.
The British oil giant in a news release said it had reached a tentative settlement with the Plaintiffs Steering Committee to pay all outstanding claims stemming from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, for a cost it estimated at $7.8 billion. BP said that cost would come out of the $20 billion it had already set aside after the rig exploded and spread crude across a large portion of the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010. That's because BP has only paid out $8.1 billion so far from the trust administered by Kenneth Feinberg, which allows individuals and businesses to file claims directly without paying lawyers.
BP reached the settlement on the eve of a trial that consolidated thousands of claims by people who had opted out of the trust. As is typical in these cases, the suits were combined into one action before a federal judge in New Orleans. Also as is typical for disasters in the industrial south, the steering committee was dominated by plaintiff lawyers who specialize in asbestos and other toxic torts. The proposed settlement includes a "matrix" with scheduled payments for a variety of illnesses alleged to have been caused by the leaking oil and a 21-year window for more to materialize.
This type of payout doomed most of the companies that made or handled asbestos, since it allowed lawyers to process tens of thousands of claims by workers with smoking-related and naturally caused diseases and overwhelm trusts established to pay for asbestosis and mesothelioma. In its news release, however, BP said it would not increase its all-in estimate of $37.1 billion for the cost of paying for the disaster.
To put that cost in perspective: It would buy about five nuclear submarines — or about two months of interest on the U.S. debt.
The settlement doesn't cover claims by state and local governments. Federal statutory penalties alone mount to $1,100 a barrel, which BP perhaps hopefully pegged at $3.5 billion.
It seems odd that the Macondo spill got so much media attention while another decades-old spill in a major metropolitan centre that was twice the size of the Exxon Valdez has still not been cleaned up as shown here:
this is a joke,ppl that have half a brain know that the gas company will never pay,they will give some money to some crooked lawyers or gov official and tell everyone how sorry they are n hope the moneies they recieved is good,knowing damn well that they are going to raise gas prices so that all the moneies paid out and more will be returned
Everyone should encourage the Occupy Wall Street movement to get involve to help disabled claimants in the BP oil spill litigation. Because, as of now, only the interests of well-financed claimants are being represented by the attorneys that are tasked with representing all claimants:
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Americans With Disabilities Act, and prior Supreme Court cases, require that the new fund set up to compensate Plaintiff Steering Committee attorneys, that withhold 6% of settlements, as ordered by Judge Barbier, http://www.laed.uscourts.gov/OilSpill/OilSpill.htm BE JUSTIFICATION for these attorneys to provide extended representation to disabled claimants! Please bring this to the attention of others—Even if these attorneys obtain settlement agreements for their primary clients.

RALEIGH — Marloe Gholson was searching for a friend whom he had reported missing more than a month earlier when he happened upon the man's body alongside a greenway trail in South Raleigh on Saturday, he told a 911 dispatcher.
Gholson, of Raleigh, told the dispatcher that his friend, Regynald Jose Brown, was at the end of a broad concrete culvert just off the Walnut Creek Trail. Brown's body had been stuffed head first into a trashcan that had toppled over and was nearly buried in sand.
"It's my first time walking up on a body like this, so I'm nervous," Gholson told the dispatcher, according to a recording made public Wednesday by the Raleigh Police Department.
Investigators announced Wednesday that Brown, 37, was the victim of a homicide. They have not disclosed how he died. No arrests have been made, said spokesman Jim Sughrue.
Gholson, Jacqueline Denise Adams, 40, of Raleigh, and another friend were looking for Brown when they found his remains in a wooded area just west of Hammond Road, near the Interstate 40 interchange.
Gholson and Adams, the mother of Brown's daughter, reported him missing on Nov. 20. They said they had not seen him since Nov. 4, according to a police missing persons report made public Wednesday.
Brown was last seen at Gholson's home in the 800 block of Sardis Drive, about three miles from where his body was found.
Gholson told the 911 dispatcher that he discovered Brown's body just off a greenway trail near a bridge over Walnut Creek where construction workers were installing water pipes. Gholson told the dispatcher that Brown was homeless and that he, his wife and a friend had decided to search for him.
Construction workers at the site Wednesday pointed to a patch of nearby woods, not far from the Walnut Creek Trail, where Brown lived.
A series of paths in the woods gave way to a campsite where a light-brown tent had been erected. Someone had draped clothes on nearby bushes. Deodorant, shaving razors, mouthwash and toothpaste were scattered at the tent's entrance. The Bible and another book, "Bible Promises for Tough Times," were among the items.
Adams told the dispatcher that the trio had been searching for about 45 minutes when they walked through a large culvert and crossed a bridge. She told the dispatcher that she did not see Brown's body, but that Gholson told her Brown was "beyond help."
"They say the body has been there awhile," she said.
Gholson and Adams were unavailable for comment Wednesday.
Investigators are "particularly interested in speaking with anyone who saw anything suspicious in that immediate area during the past several weeks," Sughrue said.
Police ask anyone with information about the case to call Raleigh Crime Stoppers at 919-834-4357 or to go to the Crime Stoppers website at www.raleighcrimestoppers.org for instructions on reporting a tip online or by text message.

Letters to the Editor
I'd like to congratulate you on getting the job of planning the layout of Linux Journal....and I'd like to also say that it was much more enjoyable to read this time around. Thank you. —Monte Corbit email@example.com
I also wanted to compliment you guys on the excellent content level of LJ. —Tom MorseLernout & Hauspie Speech Products firstname.lastname@example.com
It is seldom that an editor asks an opinion of their "art director". Understandably since you have a layout person doing the work that an art director should your requests for an opinion is a cry for help.
Judging from the recent changes this cry of help seems justified. Your magazine was brought to my attention by my husband, one of your subscribers. His response was, "Look how amateurish this is."
I would like to start with the visual on page 19. This is a bad shot. It may have been the only one that you had. Why wasn't it cropped differently or the background replaced? Did Amy like the hair sticking out and the UFO by his right shoulder?
The lime green? Was it inspired by the well designed ad on page 29? Do you feel it works as well as on page 6 & 7? Was the Linux color on page 3 chosen from the ad on page 59? Do you feel the two colors complement each other well on page 3?
In newspapers rough sketches lend well to the 80 line screens. In magazines as in your case the rough thumbnail sketches appear badly drawn and quite wobbly. Are you trying to give the impression that your magazine can not afford an illustrator?
Page 10. Why is 'Stop the Presses' so big? Is it to compete with the even larger horsey Headlines throughout your magazine? Doesn't by Phil Hughes look so small in comparison floating in all that white space. It gets a bit lost just hanging there. Shouldn't the three be married in a design unity? Stop the presses? (see page 116 of June Wired Magazine)
Why is the logo of your Magazine treated differently between the cover and page 3? Why is the date under Journal? Was the page intended to be smaller or did Amy feel the white space and the line added something? Why is the XBase lines so big on the cover? Do you feel that the cover breaths well of is it a clutter on design elements thrown on the page to fill up all space?
My suggestion is send Amy on a Design course or two. Perhaps if she didn't race through the design she may have done a better job. But remember you get what you pay for. —Most sincerely,Cinna email@example.com
Kudos on the new look for LJ! Pass on my appreciation to Amy Wood. Keep it up. —Andy Cook firstname.lastname@example.com
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

VANCOUVER, WA -- Following several months of failed negotiations, the National Park Service has asked the Pearson Air Museum to hand over the keys and empty the building in Vancouver.
Staff and volunteers spent all day Tuesday moving planes and other flight artifacts after the notice was hand-delivered.
The museum sits on Pearson Field, the oldest operating airport in the West. The Park Service owns the land and the museum is operated by the Fort Vancouver National Trust.
Museum management said they knew they would have to leave the property eventually, but didn't think it would happen so soon.
"My reaction was surprise," said Elson Strahan, a member of the Fort Vancouver National Trust. "I talked to the city manager and he talked to the Park Service and they have stood by their directive. So we really didn't have any choice but to take the action that we have."
The community is not only losing a museum, it is losing a community space that hosts more than 100 events each year.
"The museum here is a great community asset and it's really frustrating with what's going on right now with the Park Service," said Vancouver Mayor Tim Leavitt.
Forty-five organizations were scheduled to host events at the museum, and it's unclear whether these groups will get their deposits back, have to find a new venue or hold the events in the vacant building.
KGW was not able to reach the National Park Service for comment on Tuesday.
Documents KGW received indicate the government was willing to let museum management transition out of the space over the next 45 days, but museum staff said they weren't taking any chances, and will hand over the keys Wednesday.

Fadi M. Aramouni
Extension specialist
Professor of food science
Some people may wonder why, though they eat a low-fat diet, they can't lose weight. Fadi M. Aramouni, extension specialist and professor of food science at Kansas State, cautions that people on diets tend to ignore calories and focus on fat content alone.
Aramouni is an expert on food product development and food safety. He also developed a light caramel popcorn with half the calories of regular caramel corn. He has been responsible for assisting small companies with nutrition labeling and chemical food analysis.
His latest research is with gluten-free foods.
In 1996 he received the Faculty Extension Excellence Award from the College of Human Ecology. In 2010 Aramouni received the Mortar Board Faculty Award and in 2011 he received the College of Agriculture Faculty of the Semester Award and the Graduate Teaching Award.
Aramouni received his bachelor's degree in 1977 in biochemistry and his master's degree in 1980 in food technology, both from the American University of Beirut. He went on to receive his doctorate in food science in 1986 from Louisiana State University. He has been at K-State since 1989.

Pretty enough to show off on the counter. It is a great mixer - easy to use.
I love my new mixer
Again this product was a gift for a family member who is into making their own pasta. Thrilled with this product.
I absolutely love my new mixer. I have wanted one for quite a while and finally had the extra money to purchase one. It makes my baking much easier and quicker. Just learning how to use it right now, but foresee a long and happy relationship.
This was a Christmas Gift for someone, but I do own the same mixer myself, in black. I've had my mixer for approximately 7 years now and love it. I use it regularly and recommend this item to anyone who loves to bake. But with numerous attachments, it does so much more than just mix your batter or knead your bread dough.
My stand mixer works just as well as I expected; it's a big help in the kitchen.
LOVE IT! I've had the Oster stand mixer with all the wonderful attachments they offered for the past 20+ years. It was great but I've aqlways wanted to upgrade to the more powerful Kitchenaid stand mixer. Hubby bought it for me (happy birthday!) and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! So powerful and all of the attachments adding to it's efficacy. I also love the look of this unit on my counter ;)
I love this mixer so much that I bought another to use in our mountain home. Can't have a kitchen without one.
I love this mixer. Wish I would have ponied up years ago for one. Downfall of this is that I have been doing so much baking, the diet has taken a hit. Oh well, all in good flavor!
First stand mixer purchase; reviewed brand options thoroughly. Could not be more pleased with this selection.
I am 86 3/4 years old and have wanted a Kitchen Aid Mixer for years.Your never too old. In my home I have a few Kitchen Aid products. They have out lasted many other brands.. The BEST..
This is my second KitchenAid mixer. The first one was the cheapest they sell and purchased at Walmart. After a year, lubricant started to leak out around the band where the product name is located. After contacting KitchenAid we decided to dispose of the mixer because of the shipping cost to send it back and the cost to replace the broken parts wasn't worth the expense. We purchased another brand that I liked well enough but it wasn't a KitchenAid. So, with the KitchenAid Elite I hope that we have no issues with lubricant leaking and getting into the food in the bowl. If this item fails yet again, I will step away from this product and find another that is more dependable and reliable.
This is a great addition for all kitchens and is built to last. The design might look old but the mixer has been kept up to date and innovations of the attachments show it. A work horse that never gets tired and is quick to clean after a days use.
I got this after wanting it for well over 10 years and I am absolutely in love with the mixer. It does everything I want and some, I am working on getting all the great accessories for it now. Best purchase ever and through this site I got one of the best prices.
My husband and I thought that this Kitchen Aid Mixer in Ice Blue would make a lovely college graduation gift for our lovely granddaughter, who is an "A" student. It will be gift wrapped and hand delivered to Texas in December. Thanks so much for packing it so carefully! Regards, Kathleen Peart
Bought this kitchen aid mixer for my wife and she loves it. Great idea on my part.
Paula's web had the best price for this mixer. I just love it, and I have used it almost daily.
Gave it to my daughter and she was thrilled and using it in 6 hours after I gave it to her. She told me three times already how wonderful it is. SHE LOVES IT......THUS, SHE IS A HAPPY CAMPER !THANKS
I love the color of my pistachio stand mixer it's so very retro. I have this pistachio colored malt maker, given to me by my Grandparents 35 years ago. Looks very cool in my kitchen. I have used my stand mixer several times and am impressed with the ease of using and the easy clean up. My stand mixer is my new kitchen slave that does a wonderful job.
I was replacing an old model of the same mixer-25 years old! I am enjoying the newer model's features-handle on the bowl, feed guard, etc. All in all, I find that the mixer and its capabilities to be very similar to my old model that I passed on to a friend since it was still working very well.

— Montgomery Advertiser on state park system funding erosion:
Within the memory of most of our people, Alabama had a system of state parks that was one of the best in the country. It was one of the things Alabama had done right.
The state had wisely made an investment in places that were particularly scenic or had historic significance or offered recreational opportunities. Some of the parks had lodging or other amenities that were affordable for most families. It was an investment — modest in scale compared to many other state expenditures — in quality of life.
Sadly, the mindset that led to the creation of the parks system has gradually given way to a strict dollars-and-cents point of view that fails to recognize the less easily measured — but no less real — benefits of a healthy, well maintained parks system. That change, coupled with aging infrastructure, damage from hurricanes and tornadoes, and general neglect, has pushed the parks system into a most difficult position.
Now the system is preparing to reduce hours of operation and may lay off some employees. As the Advertiser's Brian Lyman reported, the system "has been pushed beyond its means," in the words of Parks Director Gregory Lein.
"We will no longer be able to operate our parks system as we have over the last four decades," Lein wrote in a letter issued last week.
The system's funding base has eroded. The Department of Conservation once got about $6 million a year from the state's use tax, and $2.5 million-$3 million from the cigarette tax, but that revenue now goes to the General Fund.
In a telling example, the chairman of the Senate Finance and Taxation Committee observed that the cuts to Conservation have been smaller than those suffered by some other General Fund agencies. That is true in percentage terms, but that also represents a very shallow understanding because it assumes that all cuts are the same and have the same impact, regardless of the agency. That is demonstrably untrue.
Alabama has some serious fiscal challenges; no one disputes that. At the same time, however, it is important that the state not make unsound short-term decisions with harmful long-term implications, all stemming from a mindset that understands the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Protect Your Home from Wildfires
Fires across the state are forcing people to evacuate their homes, but there is a way to protect your home from the fire before you leave.
The Dairy Road Fire damaged one residence and destroyed two outbuildings, but some homes were protected by just taking some extra precautions.
Fire officials say to keep your grass very well watered, run your sprinklers and remove leaf litter or debris on your roof and in your gutters. Trim trees leading up to your home and having having fire resistant building materials helps.
"We have seen a lot of evacuations of hundreds of residents across the state over the last several weeks," says Ludie Ehlers with The Division of Forestry. "There are things people can do in a short period of time to make their home safer in case they have to evacuate as a wildfire approaches."
With Memorial Day weekend around the corner, Fire Officials are asking people to take caution with any activities outdoors that could start a fire.
Fire Officials say if you see anybody that is doing something that could start a fire call 9-1-1.

It's time to paint the town in red, and in white, and in blue.
Parades and potato salad, fireworks and free beer, cherry bombs and bratwurst; they're all part of next week's annual Fourth Of July summer spectacular.
To sort it all out, we wanted to compile for you a Patch guide of Fourth Of July events going on in our area.
There are again two cities for viewing fireworks this year in San Mateo County, but one location has changed.
, budgets being what they are.
Projectiles will head into the sky - ready to explode - at 9:30 p.m. sharp.
And thanks to Redwood City, pyrotechnic fans have a second choice for viewing if Foster City doesn't work as well as a location for you.
begin a litle earlier, at 9:15 p.m. at the . The show is back on track after a two year break.
Redwood City's parade is one of the largest on the Peninsula, and offers good viewing spots for spectators around as well as some fun floats to see. It begins at 10 a.m.
Half Moon Bay's annual Pooches on Parade begins at noon.
And Menlo Park has a small parade that begins at 11:45 a.m. at the Wells Fargo parking lot.
. If you're ready to rumble early, festivities at Leo Ryan Park begin at 8 a.m. and last into the evening just prior to the fireworks.
Redwood City's celebrations continue after the Parade, and will continue until the late evening fireworks.
Also in Redwood City, an Old-Fashioned Fourth of July begins at 10 a.m. at the , where children will be invited to hand-crank homemade style vanilla ice cream and then take a taste.
Palo Alto will host the between noon and 5 p.m., with tasting beginning at 1:30 p.m. You'll need to head to Mitchell Park for the fun.
Pacifica hosts its annual 4th of July Celebration at Frontierland Park between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
, beginning with a Pancake Breakfast at 8 a.m., a barbeque at 11 a.m., the Pooches on Parade at noon, and the post parade Bark-BBQ.
The Millbrae Historical Society's annual July 4 Barbecue will be held in the David Chetcuti Community Room behind City Hall. The Lions Club does the barbecuing. The event begins at 11 a.m., runs to 3 p.m.
Menlo Park celebrates after its parade, so from about noon until 2:30 p.m. you can get hot dogs and other traditional summertime foods.
; it's your chance to compete in front of as many as 40,000 spectators. The run begins at 8:45 a.m.
Pacifica has the Rocket Run, a 5-mile jaunt that fills fresh sea air into the lungs of runners and makes for some happy smiles. It begins at 9 a.m.

Now, you'll need to make sure all the guests and family members escape the day with the reds of a sunburn, but not the blues and whites a bad case of July 4th food poisoning could bring, so for some free culinary advice.
You don't want to get caught with illegal fireworks, so read our that explains what you can and can't buy, and where.
For some sage advice on taking some great nighttime fireworks pictures, check out our photographer-in-residence, Stuart Nafey, who's got some for making those tricky-to-take pictures work.

Linda Hastreiter looks at names all the time. As a coordinator for the Patriot Guard Riders Veteran Recovery Program, it's her job to locate men and women who have served in the armed forces but whose remains have gone unclaimed. Some of the names she comes across have served, many have not. But when she came across the name Jim Braxton not long ago, it stood out for another reason.
Having grown up in New York, Hastreiter was familiar with the Bills' teams of the 1970s. Braxton played an important role in Buffalo's famed rushing attack from the era — dubbed the "Electric Company" — serving as O.J. Simpson's fullback. Could this be the same Jim Braxton? Turns out it was.
From 1971 until he left for Miami in 1978, Braxton proved to be one of the best in the NFL at his position. It was a time when fullbacks mattered. In his second season Braxton found the endzone six times; the following campaign — when Simpson gained a then-record 2,003 yards — Braxton gained 82.3 rushing yards per game.
Reliable as a blocker and ballcarrier, Braxton was also incredibly sharp. During Joe Ferguson's first few years in Buffalo, Braxton helped the quarterback out from time to time.
"He was always right next to me in the huddle and I remember a couple times when I was calling the play he'd say, 'You can't do that.' Very calm about it, but he'd say, 'You'd called it wrong, you can't do that.' He was the brains of the operation."
Ferguson also says Simpson relied on Braxton for the snap count before every play.
In 1975, at the age of 26, Braxton's career reached its peak. He gained 4.4 yards per carry, totaled 1,105 combined yards and scored 13 touchdowns. He also led the way for Simpson, who gained 1,817 rushing yards. That year the Bills met the defending Super Bowl-champion Pittsburgh Steelers in Week Two. Simpson walked all over the Steel Curtain, gaining 227 yards. "Braxton played a big part in that," says Larry Felser, who has covered the Bills since 1960.
Maybe, but as far as Buffalo's front office was concerned, Braxton was no O.J. Simpson. The following offseason Simpson requested a trade to the West Coast and held out of camp. Eventually, money brought the two sides together; the Bills gave the Juice a reported $2.5 million for a new three-year deal.
According to Felser, the news didn't sit well with the team's No. 2 back. "Braxton was furious about that contract. He was central to O.J.'s success." Braxton also had been seeking a new deal. Before the first regular-season game, Felser recalls, Braxton approached owner Ralph Wilson at midfield during warm-ups and the two had a heated exchange.
Things got worse; on the third play of the game Braxton tore up his knee and missed the entire 1976 season. Said Simpson after game, "Bubby's the best blocking fullback I've ever seen. Now we'll have to adjust our offense, using less power plays and more swing passes, more trap plays and more counters." The team failed to make up for Braxton's absence and plummeted to 2-12 after posting an 8-6 mark with Braxton in '75.
Fully recovered in 1977, Braxton had a career-best 43 receptions and gained more yards from scrimmage than any Bills player. The following year Buffalo pulled the plug on the Electric Company — Simpson went to San Francisco and Braxton to Miami.
In 1986, Braxton was receiving treatment at Buffalo's Roswell Park Cancer Institute when he passed away on July 28 at the age of 37. The New York Times obituary for Braxton from the July 29, 1986 paper stated, "He is survived by his wife, Pam, and two sons. Funeral arrangements were incomplete."
To those who knew him well — Felser, Ferguson — the fact that his remains have gone unclaimed seems hard to believe. No one knows quite why. Felser recalls a "family man" who often brought sweet potato pie to share with teammates on road trips. Ferguson can't help but think of that laid-back guy who was always under control in the Bills' huddle.
According to Hastreiter, New York law states that only a family member can assume responsibility for remains that have gone unclaimed.
Having left his teammates more than two decades ago, Jim Braxton lives on as part of one of the most dominant rushing attacks in NFL history.
Says Mark Gaughan, who covers the NFL and the Bills for the Buffalo News and who followed those teams as a fan, "(Braxton) was a pounder. He was a load. He could have played fullback in any era."
