Agency officials say it's designed as a one-stop shop for detailed near-real-time information about the response to the Deepwater Horizon incident, incorporating data from the various agencies that are working together to tackle the spill.
Originally designed for responders, who make operational decisions regarding the disaster, the web site integrates the latest data on the oil spill's trajectory, fishery closed areas, wildlife and Gulf Coast resources into one customizable interactive map.

Recycling Batteries Responsibly
The European Directive on Batteries and Accumulators aims to minimise the impact of batteries on the environment and encourage the recovery of the materials they contain. In the UK, regulations on the recycling of batteries and accumulators (rechargeable batteries) were Introduced in 2009. The Waste Batteries Regulations aim to significantly increase UK collection and recycling of used portable batteries from 3% in 2007 to 25% by 2012, rising to at least 45% in 2016.
The battery symbol on a product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with general household waste. Instead, it is the consumer's responsibility to dispose of their waste batteries at a designated collection point so that they can be recycled. The separate collection and recycling of batteries at the time of dispo sal will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that they are recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. A comprehensive list of battery recycling centres can be obtained from: www.recycle-more.co.uk
All Samsung products that are subject to the Batteries Directive are compliant with the UK battery and accumulator Requirements. In accordance with national law, SAMSUNG Electronics (UK) Ltd is a member of an approved batteries producer compliance scheme. This scheme collects, treats and disposes of batteries on Samsung's behalf.

ARCADIA, Calif. — Real rematches in the Breeders' Cup Classic are rare, with injuries and the breeding shed leading to early retirements and heavy turnover among the world's top thoroughbreds.
But Saturday's $5 million championship looks eerily similar to the 2012 edition, and not just because of the same sunny scenery at Santa Anita Park.
Despite coming in as the defending champion, Fort Larned is once again an underdog after a spotty year, with trainer Bob Baffert's Game On Dude again the clear favorite after an undefeated 2013 that could earn the 6-year-old gelding an Eclipse Award as Horse of the Year.
While Game On Dude hasn't lost since finishing seventh in what Baffert called "probably the worst race of his life," Fort Larned has had a rough-and-tumble time since the 2012 Classic. He stumbled and lost rider Brian Hernandez in the Gulfstream Park Handicap, had a pair of fifth-place finishes in the Oaklawn and Whitney handicaps, and managed victories in the Stephen Foster Handicap and his last outing, the Homecoming Classic, at Churchill Downs.
"It's been a roller coaster ride for sure," said trainer Ian Wilkes, but "all is well" and problem-free for the 5-year-old horse coming into the Classic.
Fort Larned is the 6-1 third choice on the morning line behind last year's second-place finisher, 5-1 Mucho Macho Man, and the 8-5 Game On Dude, but Wilkes believes another upset is a real possibility.
"You can never stop believing," the trainer said. "If you do you are in trouble. In this business, you have to stay optimistic."
Stealthy Panther:Game On Dude's younger half-brother and stablemate Paynter is among the genuine long shots in the Breeders' Cup Classic, but Baffert this week called the 4-year-old colt his "stealth" runner in the race.
Baffert has had big moments with dark horse candidates before. Saddling the unbeaten favorite Indian Charlie in the 1998 Kentucky Derby, he instead won with his small, overlooked colt Real Quiet for the second of his three Derby victories.

Lady Luck has touched Cary once again.
Cary resident Wladyslaw Krawiec showed up for work as usual just six days before Christmas, but was told to go back home.
"My boss said there was no more work for us so I picked up my tools, left the job site and drove home," Krawiec said in a press release.
On his way home, he said a little prayer asking for "a little bit of help" and stopped at a gas station to check his Lucky Day Lotto ticket from the previous night's drawing. His prayer was answered quickly as he discovered he'd won $175,000.
Krawiec matched all five winning numbers of the Dec. 18 drawing, according to an Illinois Lottery press release. He immediately telephoned his wife.
"We won! We won!" Krawiec shouted into the phone to his wife, who he called immediately after confirming the win. "It's so exciting, and this lottery win means some security, it means I can relax a little."
Krawiec plans to invest his winnings. His purchased his winning quick pick ticket at Stop Everyday, 66 East Jackson Boulevard in Chicago, according to release.
"I like to buy my tickets in different places, I feel like it's lucky," Krawiec said.
Krawiec was the third big-payout Lottery winner from Cary in the past four months.
In September, husband and wife won $3.5 million after buying a Lotto quick pick ticket at Mr. A's Liquor World in Palatine.
In November, 7-11 convenience store at 296 Cary-Algonquin Road in Cary, won $1 million in the Illinois Lottery Halloween Millinionaire Raffle game.
Two other Halloween were sold at Cary establishments - one at Sam's Marathon, 8 E. Main St., and the other at Volume Liquors, 382 Route 14.
Jackpots for Lucky Day Lotto start at $100,000, according to the Illinois Lottery. Drawings are held seven days a week with over 35,000 winners every day- over 200,000 winners in Illinois every week. The Lucky Day Lotto drawing takes place every night at 9:22 p.m.

— Nothing makes me gladder that I live in the Northeast than the early blooms of spring. While I don't mind winter, its bleak but often beautiful landscape is magically transformed starting in March when everything goes from monotones to Technicolor in just the blink of an eye.
If you happen to be in the Capital region this time of year, I'd suggest a visit to Brookside Gardens in Wheatland, Md., a few miles north of the Washington Beltway, to experience the enchantments of spring. Not only does this award-winning, 50-acre public display garden have a fair share of flowering cherry trees, visitors will also find among the April blooms azaleas, crabapples, daffodils, dogwood, grape hyacinths, magnolias, quince, purple-leaf plum, redbud, tulips and viburnums.
The gardens take their name from the streams that flow around three-quarters of the periphery of the park-like setting that first opened in July 1969. Two ponds dot the property, and, along its banks, water-loving plants like Japanese iris thrive in eyesight of a graceful gazebo, located on the edge of the Azalea Garden.
During my visit, a border collie named Emmie, trained to chase away the unwanted Canadian geese without hurting them, ran along the pond banks earning her keep with obvious enjoyment.
At Brookside, visitors can stroll through a total of five formal gardens (perennials, yews, roses, maples, even plants that exude fragrance during the yearly growing cycle).
In 1972, a Japanese-style garden complete with a teahouse overlooking the ponds was dedicated to Adloph Gude, Sr., a local nurseryman who donated many of the garden's collection of trees and shrubs.
There's also a Trial Garden that sports 10,000 flowering bulbs in spring, followed by summer displays of new and unusual plant varieties and imaginative design ideas, and a new Rain Garden, installed in 2008, that's filled with native plants that collect storm runoff and filter out pollutants.
"We've always been a strong advocate of sustainability, and much of what we do has a green message," McDermott said.
Brookside also offers a series of free lectures that bring in top name speakers from the horticulture world such as Doug Tallamy, professor and author of "Bringing Nature Home," who's scheduled to speak on April 26. In the summer, Brookside holds a series of outdoor concerts each Tuesday evening in June and, in September, stages an annual Children's Day with a mix of educational and fun family-friendly activities.
One of my favorite features of the garden is its Heart Smart Trail, roughly a mile- long, hard-surface pathway that encourages a healthier lifestyle through walking. Every 1/10 of a mile, bronze medallions embedded in the path let walkers keep track of their distance.
Along with a Visitor Center, Brookside has two adjoining conservatories full of seasonal displays. The North house has permanent tropical plants with seasonal accent plantings while the South house is dedicated to seasonal plantings.
With an annual attendance of around 400,000, one of the busiest times of the year comes during its Wings of Fancy exhibit in the two conservatories that features live exotic butterflies from Costa Rica, Asia, North America and occasionally Africa. This year's event is scheduled from May 4 through Sept. 22. While admission to Brookside Gardens is free of charge, admission to the Wings of Fancy Display is $6 for adults, $4 for children 3 t0 12.
Oddly enough, winter is also a busy season for Brookside when more than a million LED lights arranged in unique nature-based or whimsical shapes fill the gardens with light along a half mile walkway. The Garden of Lights runs this year from the end of November through the beginning of January.
Even the dead of winter has its charms. Beside a therapeutic tranquillity, visitors can find interesting plants such as red bark dogwood, holly and early flowers like Lenten rose, snowdrops, winter jasmine and witch hazel.

'Real Difference' campaign for 2012 DMA Awards launched
|14 Jun 2012 12:13 BST
Also in the news
The UK's direct marketers are being encouraged to demonstrate the 'real difference' they make to society and the economy as part of a new campaign launched today (14 June 2012) to promote the new-look 2012 DMA Awards.
The creative work has been developed by Indicia, whose 'Work it baby' campaign for Very.co.uk secured them the Grand Prix at the 2011 DMA Awards. The integrated campaign will recognise and celebrate the real contribution that the direct marketing industry makes to the UK – from building a brand to saving lives through charity initiatives.
The Awards campaign's strap line 'the real deal', which runs alongside statements about the impact made by the campaigns that won Gold in the 2011 DMA Awards, highlights difference made by the work of the winners to lives and businesses. For example, 'Brad made music history' describes how one winner's radical social thinking engaged 10 million online users for Nissan GB.
The campaign is set to be delivered across multiple platforms, including online video, print, email marketing and direct mail.
Indicia's creative for the campaign was unveiled at an event at which Red or Dead co-founder and creative guru Wayne Hemingway, who is chair of judges for the 2012 DMA Awards, spoke about the value and continued importance of creativity to businesses.
Commenting on the campaign Mark Runacus, chair of the DMA Awards Council, said:
"Indicia's highly personalised campaign beautifully conveys the message that the UK creative industry is thriving and making a valued contribution to our economy. At the same time it recognises the individuals who make it possible.
"This year's DMA Awards are again an opportunity for the UK's direct marketers to demonstrate the real difference they make."
Ian Bates, creative director for Indicia, added:
"We wanted to create a striking and personal feel to the campaign, showing that it's the people behind the initiatives that make a real difference to any campaign. By using personalised case studies across a wide range of channels, we hope to reach as many people as possible and encourage them to celebrate their exceptional work".
Agencies and brands have now and 7 September to submit their entries. Entries will be judged in October by 200 senior professionals with judging teams comprising copywriters, art directors, data planners, media buyers, planners, clients and sector specialists.
The winners of the 2012 DMA Awards will be announced at the Awards Presentation Ball to be held at Old Billingsgate in the City of London on 4 December.

A former coach at a Des Moines-area middle school has been given probation and a suspended 10-year prison sentence for sending sexual text messages to a 14-year-old student.
Thirty-three-year-old Chad Ziesman pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a minor. His sentence includes mandatory attendance at sex-offender programs.
Ziesman was a substitute teacher and an assistant coach for football, wrestling and girls' track at Urbandale Middle School.
The investigation began after the student told school staff that she received an inappropriate email and texts from Ziesman from April 26 through May 6. Ziesman resigned after his arrest.

BAROQUE and CLASSICAL MUSIC in the BERKSHIRES and BEYOND
"So great was the rhythmic swing, pictorial effect and overall vitality that listeners near the stage seemed in danger at times of having the music dance right into their laps." – Berkshire Eagle

Berkshire Bach seeks to reach the broadest possible audience for the works of J.S. Bach and his musical peers, mentors and followers, engaging the finest musicians available.
As the oldest continuing member-based non-profit music organization in Berkshire County, Berkshire Bach focuses primarily on the music of Bach and his period, enriching audiences with concerts that range from solo instrumental recitals to large choral works with full orchestra.

You may have never heard of the mysterious metal act Dehaan, but you've definitely heard Dehaan – because, well, they're actually Metallica. This past weekend at the band's own Orion Music + More Festival, Metallica came out as Dehaan and proceeded to tear through the entirety of their 1983 debut, Kill 'Em All.
100 Greatest Artists: Metallica
If you weren't able to make it to Detroit to check out the shreddage – or understandably goofed and passed up on Dehaan's late-afternoon set – now you can check out this exclusive video of Metallica thrashing their way through opener "Hit the Lights." Both the song and album are about to turn 30 next month, but watching Kirk Hammett wail and wah-wah his way through the closing solo of "Hit the Lights" feels fresh as ever.

Kudos to Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert for keeping the pressure on Arizona Senator John Kyl for his gross indecency on his non-factual claim made on the Senate dais during last week's budget showdown that abortion services are "well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does." In fact, abortion represents only three percent of Planned Parenthood services.
After Think Progress pointed out the glaring factual error, a Kyl spokesperson said that the Senator's remark on the dais of the Senate "was not intended to be a factual statement, but rather to illustrate that Planned Parenthood, an organization that receives millions of taxpayer dollars, does subsidize abortions." How a Senator, and who as the Minority Whip is the number two in the Republican leadership in the Senate, could go on the dais of the Senate make such an outlandish statement and then hide behind the even more buffoonish defense that such a falsehood was not intended to be a factual statement is reprehensible. Senator Kyl merits a formal reprimand from the Senate. Facts are not just stubborn things, they should be sacrosanct.
After skewering Senator Kyl on his show, The Colbert Report, the comedian has taken to Twitter with a series of non-factual statements about the junior Senator from Arizona.
No less egregious, boy I am overusing this word these days but what isn't egregious these days, was the claim made by the anchors of Fox & Friends that Planned Parenthood's services could be found at any Walgreens. While the right has long been prone to untruths, the lies are getting more desperately and patently absurd. Let's hope the American people are paying attention.
Still I've been monitoring the Arizona press and while the story has been carried in both the Phoenix and Tuscon newspapers, neither paper has come out with an editorial lambasting the Senator Kyl for his blatant disregard for facts. It's a sorry state of affairs when late night comedians have to do the work that the media should be doing, lambasting what is clearly unacceptable in a political debate. If we abandon the truth, what else have we?

So much can change in a week of sporting action and, sure enough, there have been plenty of highs and lows over the past seven days.

Sky Sports runs through the highlights of the last week of sport
It's been another eventful week across the world of sport, but again it showed that for every smiling winner there's a disheartened loser.

Yamaha is launching a 5-weekend test ride tour at selected venues around the UK, where riders can 'Experience the Dark Side of Japan' by riding one of the latest MT models, including the MT-09 Street Rally and new MT-125. The tour will showcase the whole MT range, and many of the models are fitted with Genuine Yamaha accessories like screens, ...

Yamaha knows how to play the 125cc field. Since the launch of the YZF-R125 in '08, the firm has sold over 45,000 machines and the sports bike remains a best seller to this day. The revamped 2014 YZF-R125's main changes are sturdier USD forks and quality brakes. The difference is certainly noticeable as the refreshed model can take a heavier ...

The new Yamaha MT-125 marks the third arrival in the MT family. The single-cylinder is technically a naked version of Yamaha's refreshed-for-2014 YZF-R125 except with an upright riding position and street fighter design, taking its styling cues from its MT-09 and 07 siblings. So we have an already great bike, peppered with upgraded components, for less money than the faired ...

Following on from the Street Rally version of the MT-09, Yamaha has today revealed the MT-09 Street Tracker.

Exactly one year to the day since Yamaha unveiled their new MT-09, the firm has unveiled the third bike in the 09 family, making it a triplet of triples, and bolstering the MT family to a stable of five (MT-07 and MT-125 being the other two). The new incarnation joins the standard version, and the contentiously styled Street Rally, which ...

Western Henrico Rotary helps fund Midwives For Haiti Jeep
Thanks in part to a $10,000 gift from the Western Henrico Rotary Club, another bright pink Jeep modified to travel extremely rough terrain has been delivered to Midwives For Haiti so that more pregnant women in the quake-ravaged country will have access to prenatal care and a greater chance of surviving childbirth.
The funds were raised at the annual casino night held in February, club president Adam Cherry said. The Rotary Club also helped purchase the Virginia-based charity's first pink jeep three years ago. > Read more.

Is there an Echo in here?
'Earth to Echo' aims to become this generation's 'ET'
It's no secret that all found-footage genre movies are the same. Grab a couple of characters, give one of them a camera, and expose them to something supernatural that's content to lurk just off-screen until the last five minutes. Everything else will just fall into place.
But that formula isn't particularly family friendly, if only because that thing waiting a few feet to the left of the cast is usually plotting their violent doom.
That's what sets Earth to Echo apart from the pack. It, too, follows a group of characters armed with a camera and a tendency to encounter unknown life forms. But all those familiar parts have been rearranged just enough to make it suitable for a much younger audience. > Read more.

xkcd.com has been running a weekly feature called "What If?" for a few months now, and as others have noticed, Erfworld's very own Rob Balder asked the second question addressed in the feature: "What if everyone who took the SAT guessed on every multiple-choice question? How many perfect scores would there be?"
What you may not know is that Rob appears also to have TWO other questions featured on the site! That's assuming that "Rob B" is short for "Rob Balder." Check them out!
SAT Guessing: http://what-if.xkcd.com/2/
Machine Gun Jetpack: http://what-if.xkcd.com/21/

I'm pretty sure no other asker has been featured more than once, and here Rob has been on there three times already! It's a shame xkcd.com doesn't link to Erfworld; Randall seems like a fan of Rob's work!

Dr. Donald Schlomann will retire at the end of the 2016-17 school year, according to an amended contract for the superintendent of St. Charles Community Unit School District 303.
The Board of Education approved the contract changes during a special meeting Monday night, and Dr. Schlomann signed it Tuesday morning, school officials said.
Board of Education President Steven Spurling said Tuesday evening the board's approval of the contract amendments reflect its satisfaction with Schlomann's performance as superintendent. "We're very happy with Dr. Schlomann's leadership," he said.
Under the terms of the contract, Schlomann's base pay remains where it was when the district hired him as superintendent in 2009 — at $225,000. As part of the changes, beginning in 2013-14, the district will pay a 6 percent retirement incentive annuity for each of his final four years with the district. The retirement annuity is separate from the Illinois Teacher Retirement System.
The 6 percent retirement incentive annuity is a change in the pattern Schlomann set beginning in 2009, when he began to decline annual pay raises due him under his contract, a move he said reflected his respect for the sacrifices the community and the school district and its employees were making during belt-tightening years as revenues dropped.
His refusal to accept the contractual pay increases was respected by many in the district.
He called the retirement incentive annuity payments as very generous.
Spurling said the 6 percent retirement incentive annuity is the district's "law of the land" in terms of retirement announcements. By contract, he said, all teachers and administrators receive the same treatment in the four years leading up to their retirement.
Also under the amended, beginning in July 2014, the district will give Schlomann one additional vacation day each year through 2016. He has 22 vacation days per year now.
Schlomann's other contract terms — including health care coverage, a $7,200 annual car allowance, travel expenses, professional/civic organization fees and professional development, and cellphone — remain unchanged.
"It feels odd to be talking about retiring," Schlomann said Monday afternoon. By 2017, he will have been with the district for 10 years. Still, 2017 is a long way off yet.
"This gives the district a good planning horizon to begin the searching to find my successor," he said.

Smoother, shiner curls are just moments away. The BeLissPRO Titanium Curling Iron features the powerful combination of titanium and Sol-Gel technology for an ultra-strong barrel that smooths hair with natural ions and revitalizes shine for gorgeous, dazzling curls and waves.
Create an alluring up do: After removing the iron from the hair, re-roll each curl and pin up randomly. Leave a few trailing tendrils. For sexy, tousled curls make small vertical curls in hair. Separate curls with fingers. For tighter curls, use a small barrel. For loose curls, use larger barrel. Section hair evenly and comb each section before winding. Place curling iron midway up hair section; spread hair evenly between spoon and barrel. To avoid crimped ends, securely wind hair under spoon in direction of desired curl.
For ideal results, we recommend using One 'n Only Argan Oil Treatment with your curling iron to eliminate frizz by smoothing the cuticle for silky, conditioned, and healthy looking hair. One 'n Only Argan Oil Treatment helps protect against damage caused by chemicals, and excess heat from styling and environmental factors.

WELLS -- Right around the time David Haugland's art took a turn for the triumphant, his heart took a turn for the worse.
The Wells native and hobby artist was notified late in 2012 that his submission for BIC Lighter's "Best of You" lighter design contest -- which was held to celebrate the company's 40th anniversary this year -- had been accepted as a winner. Within weeks, however, he was making the first of two hospital stays to be treated for massive heart failure.
"I had a nasty end of the year," Haugland said of the month between Dec. 10 and New Year's Day. "As soon as I got out (of the hospital after the first attack), I went right back in."
But that didn't stop him from enjoying the spoils of his victory.
After learning of the contest in 2012, Haugland created a design that he said is in keeping with his general artistic aesthetic of surrealism and fantasy. In the past, he's designed art for bands and previously won $500 in a contest to design a tin for Camel's line of snus products.
His BIC design employs a trio of elements symbolic of omniscience -- a diagram of a brain, an umbrella and an all-seeing eye. Arranged around the text "Knowledge: It's all in your mind" and formed against an ominous, storm-gathering sky, Haugland's design is both atmospheric and disquieting.
It's also one of 11 entries selected from more than a thousand submissions to be printed on special edition BIC lighters this year.
Though he was only a few weeks removed from the hospital, Haugland had recovered enough by March to join the 10 other contest winners for a weekend getaway to New York City and a tour of BIC's facility in Milford, Conn. Winners enjoyed a catered dinner, awards presentation and meet-and-greets with city dignitaries In addition to an award and a box of various BIC products (the company also makes pens, razors and stationery), Haugland received a version of his lighter accented with 14-karat gold.

I'll bet you didn't know that there are, quite literally, hundreds of breeds of chickens in the world. That being said, rest easy with the knowledge that for every person, there is your very own "soul" chicken.
Just like we all have a soul mate breed of dog (for us, it's the Greyhound), there are hens out there that we are equally simpatico with, for their appearance, temperament, possibly even the color and/or shape of their eggs. So, the question remains, which is your chicken?
For my husband, dear Eric, it's the Blue Silkie Bantam. How we came to know this? Because we've made our selection of eight day-old baby chicks for the spring, pre-ordering them on MyPetChicken.com, and he rebuffed our choices, saying he needed to find "his" chicken. We showed him several pictures of a variety of hens, described their quirky personalities, and this was what he picked:
Blue Silkie Bantam
Words fail me regarding his selection. But there it is.
As for the rest of you, feel free to go out to MyPetChicken, and select your breed. And as for wondering why in the world we are doubling our flock of hens... it's to feed our friends and family their eggs. (The demand is high around here for fresh, farmstead eggs.) That, and you can never have too many chickens. They are simply too much fun!
Here's a list of our new babies: Easter Egger - for those fabulous blue-green eggs, Buff Brahma Bantam - because Brie thinks they're cute, Barred Rock, Buff Laced Polish, White Cochin, Speckled Sussex, Buff Orpington, and of course, Eric's Blue Silkie Bantam. Look up the chicks, and check your compatibility. I would love to hear your choices. :)
