Great idea!
I really enjoy the animation, but it needs some flow in the animation.

For thousands of years the Jewish people have been forced to move around — fleeing bigotry, slavery, pogroms, famines and tyrants. But words are portable, and to Jews — who are among those known as "the People of the Book" — they are precious possessions. As Amos Oz and his daughter, Fania Oz-Salzberger, write in their new book, Jews and Words, "Ours is not a bloodline, but a text line."
Oz, a professor of literature at Ben-Gurion University in Be'er Sheva, and Oz-Salzberger, a writer and historian at the University of Haifa, talk with NPR's Scott Simon about Jews and Words. The father-daughter team explain their ideas about "Jewish atheism," Judaism's evolving traditions and the origins of chutzpah.
Interview Highlights
On what it means to be a "Jewish atheist"
Oz: "We regard Judaism as a civilization, not just as a religion. I think there are many, many ways to be a Jew. And one of those ways to be a Jew is to be a nonreligious Jew. The heritage contains, first and foremost, books, texts, spiritual creativity. And religion is only one of the components of this magnificent heritage."
Oz-Salzberger: "But part of the poetry is that we can pick and choose our legacies as we please. Every generation anew. And we feel very much at home with some of the heritage and not so much at home with other parts, and we feel entitled to be lovingly selective."
On the relationship between the early itinerant nature of Jews and their dependency on words
Oz: "For thousands of years, we Jews had nothing but books. We had no lands, we had no holy sites, we had no magnificent architecture, we had no heroes. We had books, we had texts, and those texts were always discussed around the family table. They became part of the family life, and they traveled from one generation to the next — not unchanged, not unchallenged, but reinterpreted in each generation and reread by each generation."
On Jewish individualism, and the many characters in the Hebrew Bible
Oz-Salzberger: "I think the Greeks had many protagonists of drama, comedy, tragedy, philosophy, of course history — but the Jews had even more. I'm talking about quantity, not necessarily quality. The Bible seems to be full of individual characters, male and female, trying to elbow their way into memory, which many of them succeeded in doing. So we have always been a very individualistic collective, a very vocal one, and often a very debating one. And we love it this way. We'd like to keep it."
Oz: "If you promise to take the following with a grain of salt, I would add that you can never get two Jews to agree with each other on anything. It's difficult to find one Jew who agrees with himself or herself on something, because everyone has a divided mind and soul, everyone is ambivalent. So our civilization is a civilization of dispute, of disagreement and of argument."
On the evolution of the idea of chutzpah from the Hebrew term for the court of justice
Oz-Salzberger: "The term is beit din chatzuf, which is a court of justice which is not manned according to the rules, but its ruling still passes as legal and viable. So there is a sense of transcending the laid laws which has been part and parcel of the mainstream, the healthy mainstream of Judaism, and we love it very much. We call it, in several places in our book, we call it 'reverent irreverence.' People did believe in God. But they often made no bones about critiquing the Lord, and shouting at him, and waving a fist at him and thinking that he got it wrong. This irreverent reverence is part of what has been called, in modern times, the 'chutzpah tradition,' which we deeply relate to as Israelis and as modern human beings."
Oz: "The very term 'Israel' means 'he who struggles with God.' This is the literal, dictionary sense of the word 'Israel.' So chutzpah is built into this civilization. A pupil is not expected to obey, to follow and to learn by heart. A student is expected to say a chiddush, which means something new, something original, something of his or her own interpretation of the sacred texts."
On how their book is an answer to concerns about the assimilation and loss of tradition among North American Jews
Oz: "This book is a teaser; it's an appetizer. It's meant to propose to Jews in Israel, in America and everywhere — and it means to propose to non-Jews — to relate to a wonderful line of texts, full of wisdom, full of humor, full of inventiveness, full of chutzpah. We are trying to seduce people — Jews and non-Jews alike — we are trying to seduce people to this wonderful heritage, and we are trying to emphasize that you don't have to be religious and you don't even have to be Jewish in order to be attracted to this legacy. In other words, if I may put it paradoxically, you don't have to be a Jew to be Jewish."
On collaborating on this book as a father-daughter team
Oz-Salzberger: "It went flowingly. It was a very smooth experience. It happened almost accidentally. We were offered to write a little essay together, and it turned out that we had been talking to one another of the topics of this book ever since one of us was 3 years old. …
"And so, you know, putting it on paper was a wonderful exercise and part of the game of the intertextuality that we are talking about. We strongly believe that our children, and their children after them, in their own universes, be it Facebook or Twitter or Tumblr or what have you, I think they will continue, because this is a legacy to continue. I'm not fearful about the future of Jewish textuality. And by the way, I don't think we are worried about the future of the book either. … Because in many ways our bookishness has come now — you know, looking at it from antiquity until today — full circle, tablet to tablet, scroll to scroll. And back with the tablets and the scrolls with a vengeance."

Businesses offered digital help
Updated 10:35am Sunday 17th February 2013 in News By Andrew Smith, Business Editor. Call me on 01865 425460
The Oxford Mail's parent company Newsquest Oxfordshire has launched a new service, aimed at giving growing businesses a boost. Although many businesses have their own websites, not all of them are optimized for mobile phones or tablets. The problem is that standard websites are not configured to fit into smaller browsers and that makes it difficult to read them using hand- held technology.
So Newsquest Oxfordshire is offering small and medium-sized businesses the chance to keep up with the latest developments in mobile browsing.
Lisa Wrintmore, digital manager at Newsquest Oxfordshire, said: "The market for mobile devices is exploding at the moment with 62 per cent of people in the UK owning a smartphone, 84 per cent of which use it to browse websites.
"The problem for small businesses is that 70 per cent of them do not have a website that can be viewed on a mobile device."
Newsquest Oxfordshire's digital media team is offering technology for small and medium-sized businesses owners to ensure their websites can be viewed easily, no matter what device visitors may be using. Digital media consultant Victoria Harding-Saunders explained: "Traditionally, when you look at a website with a mobile telephone or tablet, the view is skewed.
"Some websites shrink but are still not mobile sites and users have to pinch the screen to see something on it. But we now have a solution which overcomes this."
Prices for delivering the mobile website start from £249 a year * For more details, contact News-quest's digital media team on digitalmedia@ nqo.com or call 01865 425262.

September 2006 Sky from the Keeble Observatory
By now you've heard that the International Astronomical Union has demoted Pluto
from its prior status as a planet. Instead, it becomes a "dwarf planet" and perhaps
prototype for the many so-called Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs). This action followed
the failure of another controversial proposal to redefine planet in a way which
would have extended that status to Pluto's satellite Charon, to the large asteroid
Ceres, and to another recently discovered KBO informally known as Xena.
Just what was the controversy? What does it ultimately mean? This month's column
will provide some background, and then next month I'll go into more detail about
the new definition and its impact.
First, let's consider the origins of the term "planet," which comes from a Greek
word meaning "wanderer." To the ancient Greeks, it was clear that there were two
broad categories of celestial object: the stars, which maintained their relative
positions year after year, night after night, and those objects which appeared to
move with respect to the fixed stars. Over a year's time, the Sun moves through
a band of twelve constellations known as the Zodiac. This is the basis for the ancient
Babylonian practice of astrology. The Moon similarly follows the zodiac, traversing
its constellations in 28 days – the origin of our calendar months. There were five
other "planets" known to the ancients, each of which traversed the zodiac in progressively
longer times: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Their motions were not
always straightforward. Though they generally share the Sun and Moon's drift to
the east, these planets would sometimes back up and head west, undergoing what is
known as "retrograde motion." The positions of Sun, Moon, and planets were said
to influence events on Earth – your astrological "sign" is supposedly the constellation
of the zodiac where the Sun was found at the time of your birth. (A quick check
of the real sky versus the traditional birth signs will show that the Sun is almost
never in the right constellation! It was there 2000-5000 years ago!)
The work of Nicolaus Copernicus in the 16th Century moved the center of our perceived
universe to the location of the Sun – which meant that Earth became the wanderer
and the Sun a fixed center. The number of known planets orbiting the Sun was then
raised to six. We know now that the Sun also moves in its own orbit in the disk
of the Galaxy, which also moves as part of the great celestial ballet. There is
no center of the Universe (except Ashland!). William Herschel accidentally discovered
a seventh planet, Uranus, in 1781. For 65 years, this marked the outer edge of the
known solar system.
However, there was a problem – Uranus was not following its predicted path in the
sky. Either Newton's laws of gravity and motion were wrong, or there must be another
planet even further from the Sun, tugging on Uranus and giving rise to its "unacceptable"
behavior. John Couch Adams in England (not the American patriot and president!)
and Urbain-Jean-Joseph Le Verrier in France independently calculated the location
and size of the necessary 8th planet to perturb Uranus. In 1846, a German astronomer
named Johann Galle found Neptune, using Le Verrier's calculations. (Neither Adams
nor Le Verrier was able to convince astronomers in their own countries to look for
the planet they had predicted.)
For many decades, it appeared that even Neptune was insufficient to fully explain
the discrepancies in Uranus' position, so various researchers undertook to calculate
and search for the purported 10th planet. In 1930, Pluto was discovered by American
astronomer Clyde Tombaugh, almost exactly where it was predicted to be. Curiously,
it wasn't the big gas giant planet assumed in the calculations. Rather, it has turned
out to be a smallish ice ball – smaller even than our own Moon. It could not possibly
be the source of the orbital discrepancies that led to its discovery! And, to make
obvious that its discovery was purely serendipitous, the orbital discrepancies for
Uranus disappeared on reanalysis. Pluto turns out to be the wrong planet, in the
wrong place, discovered for the wrong reasons!
Subsequent discoveries of KBOs, including Xena which is larger than Pluto and Sedna
which is slightly smaller have fueled the discussion of demoting Pluto. Next month
we'll see how that demotion took place.
Lunar phases for September: Full Moon at 2:42 pm, on the 7th; Last Quarter on the
14th, at 7:15 am; New Moon on the 22nd, at 7:45 am, and First Quarter on the 30th,
at 7:04 am. There will be a partial lunar eclipse at Full Moon – but the Moon will
be below the horizon until 7:42 pm, so it will not be visible from central Virginia.
Similarly, there will be an annular solar eclipse at New Moon, but visible only
from Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.
Early in the month, predawn sky watchers will see Venus rising about an hour before
the Sun, and about a half hour after Saturn rises. Venus moves closer to the Sun
on the sky, and Saturn further away as the month progresses. By month's end, Venus
will be almost lost in the Sun's glare, while Saturn will be rising a full four
hours before sunrise.
Evening planet watchers will have little to cheer for, since Jupiter is low (about
27 degrees from the horizon) to the southwest at sunset, and Mars is even lower
to the west and probably lost in horizon clutter and haze. Mercury returns to the
evening twilight by month's end, but is also too low for good viewing.
Our overhead look at mid-month, about two hours after sunset, finds the bright star
Vega near zenith, and the Milky Way dividing the sky roughly NNE to SSW, with a
slight bow to the east. About 20 degrees toward the northeast from Vega lies Deneb
in the constellation Cygnus. 40 degrees to the south is the bright Altair in Aquila.
If we start at the northeast end of the Milky Way, we find in order the constellations
Cassiopeia (that crooked W shape), then Cygnus running from Deneb at the tail to
Albireo at the head of the Swan, Aquila (noted only for the presence of Altair!),
and finally Sagittarius (looks like a teapot). From Vega to the west we encounter
the small square of Hercules, then Bootes, marked by the bright star Arcturus, about
25 degrees above the horizon. To the east from Deneb we find the Great Square of
Pegasus – though there are really few bright stars in this direction, since we're
looking out of the plane of the Galaxy. Andromeda lies to the northeast. On a clear,
moonless night you'll be able to pick out the faint glow of the Andromeda galaxy
– over two million light years distant, this is the furthest object which you can
see without a telescope. Like our own Galaxy, this is a spiral galaxy of several
hundred billion stars.

'The Walking Dead' recap, episode 307: 'When the Dead Come Knocking'
Ooh, it's about to go down on The Walking Dead! In Sunday night's episode, Merle and the Governor interrogated Glenn and Maggie, respectively (but not respectfully!) and Michonne stumbled into the prison — sending Rick, Daryl and Oscar on a mission to Woodbury. As the episode ended, Rick and Daryl found themselves just outside the formidable walls of Woodbury, while inside, the Governor planned a recon mission to the prison. I reiterate, ooh, it's about to go down.

March 28, 2013
Both stories started with a phone call.
A mother contacted Morning Call reporter Spencer Soper. Her son had been offered a job at the Amazon warehouse in Breinigsville, quitting his prior position to accept it. Reporting to work on the very first day, the young man learned that the job he had been promised did not exist.
Paul Muschick received a call from a veteran struggling for years to obtain benefits due him because of illnesses caused by work he did in the service.
Relentlessly pursuing these tips, Morning Call reporters Paul Muschick and Spencer Soper dug below the surface to correct wrongs and improve lives. They discussed their own work and the field of investigative journalism at a talk, "Watchdogs: Journalism with Teeth," on March 28, at Northampton Community College (NCC). Muschick is a consumer advocate. He writes the "Watchdog" column, which "holds businesses, institutions and governments accountable by disclosing poor service, mismanagement and improper use of public dollars." Soper is a business reporter who writes the Call's "On the Cheap" column.
Soper recalled that in the beginning, the Morning Call reported the Amazon story as that of a new business coming to town and providing jobs in a weak economy. But the mother's call set questions running through the reporter's mind. What was going on here? He called the company and received no feedback. "When you are getting radio silence, a pretty good red flag goes up," Soper said. He then visited a recruitment drive at Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC). Sitting on a bench, he heard two men talking: they had a problem, the men said to each other; the number of jobs publicized exceeded the number of jobs actually available. Another red flag. When he tried to talk to the men, they referred him to the company's corporate office. The Amazon spokespeople attributed the discrepancy to a "technical glitch."
But this "explanation" proved to be the tip of the iceberg. Once the LCCC story came out, calls started flooding in. "You don't know the half of it," callers said. Soper learned that employees at the Breinigsville warehouse were working in 110-plus degree swelter, at a brutal mandatory pace unadjusted for weather conditions. More disturbing still, ambulances stood by to carry workers, expected to collapse, to hospitals. "If you have an ambulance parked there to cart exhausted workers off and put others in their place, that's wrong," Soper said. "Because the economy is bad, you cannot exploit the situation and treat people like disposable parts." He contacted the corporate offices and received no response. An even larger red flag flew.
Soper's reporting in the Morning Call series on conditions at the Amazon warehouse sparked widespread concern and spread across the country. Amazon finally installed 50 million dollars' worth of air conditioners in their warehouses nationwide. Along with his children, Soper watched helicopters delivering the units to the Breinigsville warehouse, knowing the move was a result of his reporting. As he watched, he thought, "Employees will have an easier time now because they talked to me and I reported it."
As in Soper's work, Muschick's doggedness in following up on the ignored veteran's case led to the man obtaining his benefits from the Veteran's Administration. "An investigative reporter lets people know they are not going away," Muschick said. "Good stories start with one call, and the reporter has to have an open mind and has to think of the big picture. Then, you have to become a contact for the community, to effect change."
The reporters acknowledged that sources take a leap of faith and that the reporter has to justify that trust by writing accurate stories. Being a source comes with danger--possible repercussions such as job loss.
Journalists are aware of their influence. "Our power is to illuminate, to shine a spotlight," Soper said. "Consumers respond with their wallets," he said of the Amazon case, "The market reacts because consumers react. It therefore becomes a good business practice to treat employees well."
Soper and Muschick spoke about their own careers, beginning at small town newspapers and working their way up, usually by moving to other papers offering greater opportunities. They discussed the shrinkage of newspaper staffs and the elevation of entertainment versus hard news, but they nonetheless encouraged students to pursue the field. "Investigative journalism is still important," Soper said. "If you believe in journalism, I encourage you to go into it. There will always be a need for independent, detached professionals to collect and report on information." While some media outlets have dropped investigative journalism in favor of fluff, people still want substantive reporting, both journalists said.
Some of the advice Soper and Muschick gave students included:
•Journalism must be something you invest yourself in. You must be willing to work nights, weekends. You must have a thick skin when people criticize you. It is a demanding, difficult profession.
• Fledgling journalists must be willing to start at the bottom, often working second, part-time jobs to make ends meet.
• Journalists must be willing to move to wherever the career takes them.
•When considering jobs, look at the cost of living in various places.
•Develop technical and digital skills. When applying for a job, highlight these.
•Journalists need to be both specialized and versatile. Although many news outlets have photographers, for instance, a reporter should be prepared to take on-the-spot photos and videos of breaking stories.
•Do not become discouraged by those who tell you there is no room in the field. Readers will always need news. Moreover, technical innovations like the World Wide Web, give stories infinite shelf life. They remain. They can never be crumpled and thrown away.
•Do what you love. Stick with it if that is your passion.
While exacting, journalism is a highly important, rewarding field, the journalists said. "It made me feel like a good citizen when those air conditioners got installed at the warehouse," Soper remembered. "In journalism you are making a difference. It is a noble profession."

Advent is not like most IP law firms. They are built on relationships, not on billing hours. They blur the line between legal advice and business strategy, a holistic approach aimed at giving their clients the best possible results. Our focus was to create a brand and web presence that would be respected nationally, which would conteract the perseption of being located in the "flyover country" of Omaha, Nebraska.
The solution was to create a brand experience that spoke to both their legal and engineering backgrounds. By creating a custom typeface for their mark, we were able to give them a simplistic professional feeling. The site is built with relationships in mind. We avoided the stodgy lawyer photos that are aplenty and instead focused on capturing the personality of not only the firm, but the people that make it go. We built a site and brand that helps the user understand they are getting a firm that doesn't just work for them, but works with them.

"Pretty good book"
Very well written. Great background and story telling. A must read. One of the best audible books I've "read"
"Pretty good book"
Very plausable book. Considering the ineptness of Congress and Washington DC's political scene...there is a case our government needs to explore EMP's potential danger to Amercia
"Great "read""
Pretty good read. Great story to tell and it's well written and well narrated. Peter was great.
"Good for history buffs"
Good "read". Sometimes tedious, but the story moves along despite knowing how it's going to end.
Good background and fun read for Henry 8 fans.
Recommned putting the book on fast narration speed if you have that option. Normal speed is much too slow.
Insightful read. The first half of the book could have been titled, "I grew up in a strict (Christian, Jewish, pick one) house. Not so insightful. The last part of the book finally got into the Hasidic culture.
Overall, pretty good.
New twist on US slave history. Mostly focused on AL and GA post Civil War slavery.
Well crafted.
"Terriffic Read"
A masterful woven story on what life was like in northern KY, WV and Ohio in the 1770-1810s. Very credible read. Well balanced and well researched. The Narration was superb. Kudos to the narrator. This book should be mandatory reading for all KY,WV and OH high schooler as to how their states were formed.
One of the best Audible books I've listened to.
"A unique perspective"
A unique perspective on T. Jefferson. The author tries to embellish and fill in historical information left vacant over the centuries. For the most part, she does a pretty good job at it. The narration is slow....but if you put your MP3 player on fast audio speed...the narrtive picked up to a more reasonable listening pace. The first half of the book there is some repetition of facts, etc. The publisher should find better editors. All in all...a nice read.
"OK but not great"
OK "read" but it got a little tiring after a bit. Some wit in parts but not a LOL book. Trust me. First and last sign up for this author.
A great "read." Very informative and written true to the times. I am not Texan and have never lived there...but it should be a mandatory read for all the Texans. A+ story.

Voice actor Rob Paulsen welcomes Tress MacNeille and Laraine Newman to Talkin' Toons LIVE on Tuesday November 26, 2013 at 8:00 PM at the Hollywood Improv!
Press Release:
The world-famous Hollywood Improv is proud to invite you to join Emmy and Annie award winner Rob Paulsen as he talks about his experiences in voice acting!
Laraine Newman is a comedienne, actress, writer and was part of the original cast of Saturday Night Live! She's been in Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage and has provided voices in Wreck-It Ralph, Wall-E, Toy Story 3, Ponyo, Surf's Up, Monsters, Inc. and more!

Her list of video game roles include Kingdom Hearts games, Escape from Monkey Island, The Simpsons Game, and countless others!
About Rob Paulsen:
Born in Detroit, Rob Paulsen spent his childhood in Livonia and Rochester, attending Junior and Senior high school in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Rob loved cartoons like most kids but aspired to be a professional hockey player. "Fortunately, thanks to some big, strong, kid from Winnipeg who drilled me so hard my ears are still ringing, I learned around age 18 I had neither the talent nor the temperament to make a living playing hockey. So, I turned to my other passions: singing and acting."
The goal of bringing absolute believability to a fictional character, live-action or animated, is what every actor strives for. Those who are committed to their career and who combine experience, passion and skill are likely to succeed.
Those gifted with exceptional talent who focus on maximizing their potential by finding their own niche, quickly break away from the pack. After years of honing their craft and consistently delivering memorable performances in which the character impacts an indelible image on the viewer, the public and the industry take notice, singling out the best.
"I'm getting paid to do what I got in trouble for in the 7th grade," jests Rob, who won a Daytime Emmy in 1999 as "Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program" for Pinky and The Brain (Warner Bros.) Though nominated twice previously, the victory was especially sweet due to some formidable competition – fellow nominees Louie Anderson, Ernest Borgnine, Dennis Franz and Jeffery Tambor. In addition to his Emmy, Rob won back-to-back Annie Awards in 1997 and 1998. "I absolutely love what I do and thank my lucky stars for twenty-five years of full-time employment in this business," he says.
"It's a treat to portray a complex character," Rob explains about Pinky, a goof-ball mouse with funny teeth, a head filled with clouds and an inane imagination that is punctuated with a staccato laugh. "Besides … where else could I find a job where emotional outbursts and odd exclamations like 'Egad!,' 'Narf!,' 'Poit!,' 'Splonk!,' and 'Zort!' are allowed and in fact, encouraged?" With over 2,000 half-hours of animation to his credit, Rob's versatility shines in his starring roles as the voices of Yakko, Pinky and Dr. Scratch 'n' Sniff in the Peabody and two-time Emmy award-winning series "Animaniacs."
Some of Rob's other well-known animated characters include Raphael of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," Arthur in "The Tick," the title role in "The Mask" (for a WHOLE lot less dough than Mr. Carrey, thank you), the title role in "Mighty Max," Carl Wheezer in "Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius," Jack Fenton in "Danny Phantom," Bobble in the "Tinkerbell" series of DVDs and hopefully more to come.
Paulsen's extensive credits include on-camera roles in numerous motion pictures including Body Double, Stewardess School, Eyes of Fire, The Perfect Match, and Warlocked. His television acting credits include guest-starring roles on MacGyver and St. Elsewhere. Additionally, he is one of the most sought-after voice actors in the commercial arena, performing in over 1000 commercial spots.
As passionate about "paying it forward" as he is about his lucrative career, Rob supports various charitable organizations, particularly those benefiting children and military veterans. Rob's volunteer work with GOALmodels has been particularly rewarding. GOALmodels, a high school program in Reseda, California, is designed to inspire 9th graders to set goals and overcome obstacles in life. Blending his life experiences with passion for his work, his presentations are informative, entertaining and inspiring. In his leisure time, Rob enjoys golf, riding his motorcycle and occasionally lacing up his skates for another chance to relive his past glory on the rink. He spends the majority of his free time with his wife, Parrish, and their two Yorkshire terriers, Pooshie and Tala.

About HOLLYWOOD SAID NO!:
This fall, Bob & David are finally back together after all these years (and embarking on their first official tour together since a sold-out national tour in 2002 following the end of Mr. Show, their highly influential, Emmy-nominated HBO sketch program) with a collection of never-before-seen scripts that were so funny they made Hollywood wet its ninny-pants. HOLLYWOOD SAID NO! reveals the amazing full-length scripts for Bob and David Make a Movie (fleshed out with brand-new storyboards by acclaimed artist Mike Mitchell) and Hooray For America!: a satirical power-house indictment of all that you hold dear.
And there's more! HOLLYWOOD SAID NO! will also include a section of "constructive" notes written by a "studio executive," a bonus section of orphaned sketch ideas from the Mr. Show days and beyond, suitable for performance by church groups that aren't all "koo-koo" about religion. And last but not least (well, possibly least), Bob & David provide a section of reminiscences to add context and back story on what went right and what went wrong. For the first time ever, take a peek at the scripts that didn't get the green light from Hollywood and ponder a world we can only dream about.

Franklin County investigators say they've discovered more than 50 so-called "shake-and-bake" meth labs all inside one house.
Officials were called to the house Thursday on LP Bradford Road in Estill Springs, where they say they found 59 one-pot meth labs, 50 hydrogen chloride gas generators, 47 bags of lithium strips and more than 200 stripped lithium batteries.
There were also several empty packages of pseudoephedrine in the house, investigators said.
The meth bust could be among the biggest ever in Tennessee.
The home was apparently being rented out, and the person who owned it told police he had no idea this was happening inside.
The evidence will be presented to the grand jury for possible indictments.

Kimiko Stuns Sam In QFs
Published October 15, 2010 12:00
OSAKA, Japan - Kimiko Date Krumm made history on Friday, becoming the first 40-something in Sony Ericsson WTA Tour history to beat a Top 10 player, stunning No.8-ranked Sam Stosur in the quarters of the HP Open, 57 63 76(4).
Date Krumm, seeded No.6 at the International-level event, lost the first set but began mounting her comeback in the second set. She brought up her first match point leading 5-4 third set, but would eventually close the No.1 seed and defending champion out on her second match point in the breaker.
"I played very hard," Date Krumm said. "Sam is a very good player and she is different from the others - she has a very good serve and is very fast. I had to run a lot today but I was focused and knew I had nothing to lose."
"I had several chances to win, but Kimiko played very well today," Stosur said. "She moves very fast and hits very flat. She's doing really well."
Check out some of Kimiko's best career moments right here!
Back in May, Date Krumm became the oldest woman ever to beat a Top 10 player with a French Open win over Dinara Safina at the age of 39 years, seven months and 26 days; at 40 years and 17 days, she broke her own record.
Next up for Date Krumm is No.3 seed Shahar Peer, who earlier on needed less than an hour to cruise past No.7 seed Iveta Benesova, 62 60.
Peer leads Date Krumm in their head-to-head, 1-0.
Marion Bartoli, the No.2 seed, was the first to advance to the final four, firing six aces en route to a 61 62 win over Jill Craybas. Bartoli will be in her third semifinal of the season, having gone this far at Premier-level stops in Miami and Eastbourne (losing to Venus Williams and Victoria Azarenka).
Standing in between Bartoli and her first final of the year will be Tamarine Tanasugarn, who won an all-unseeded match with Chang Kai-Chen, 63 26 64. Tanasugarn will be playing in her second semifinal of the year (she reached the final of Pattaya City, where she was runner-up to Vera Zvonareva).

Utilities are burning down their stockpiles and will need to replenish them. The export market for metallurgical coal remains uncertain, but a new mine came on line in December.
That's the good news for Arch Coal, one of the largest producers in West Virginia.
The bad news: The rebound could very well benefit regions other than West Virginia.
One Arch Coal official told investment analysts on Feb. 4 that it will be difficult for coal from Central Appalachia (CAPP), which includes southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky, to compete with natural gas despite the rise in gas prices. Even as the coal market improves, Arch officials expect lower CAPP production this year.
Arch released its fourth-quarter and year-end financial statement before markets opened Feb. 4. The company reported a net loss of $371.2 million in the fourth quarter and $229.2 million for 2013.
When talking with analysts later in the day, Arch's senior managers were bullish on thermal coal from the Powder River Basin and on metallurgical coal from Appalachia, but they were bearish on thermal coal from Appalachia.
Arch also expects natural gas prices to fall this year, lessening CAPP coal's appeal in the utility market, Eaves said.
"So, we continue to see pressure on Central Appalachian thermal coal as we move forward," he said.
Stockpiles at power plants supplied by CAPP coal remain high, but those at plants supplied by Powder River Basin coal are falling to the point that the market for PRB coal should be good this year, Arch executives said.
While Arch is pessimistic about CAPP thermal coal, it is looking forward to production from its Appalachian mines that produce met coal, particularly the new Leer mine in Taylor County.
"The longwall began operating in December, and we are pleased with the ramp-up thus far," Eaves said. "We have invested over $400 million to bring on this mine, which will be the cornerstone of Arch's met coal output for years to come.
"In 2014, we expect the Leer mine to run at a three million ton-a-year pace annualized with roughly 70 percent of that output targeted for the coking coal market. About half of those tons are already committed in the market today."
Arch can produce about 10 million tons of met coal per year, but it will aim for only 8 million tons this year because of market conditions, Eaves said.
"We currently anticipate a challenging environment for the bulk of 2014," he said. "One promising sign is that demand remains reasonably strong. Unfortunately, global supplies outplace that demand, depressing prices.
"Longer term, we do see a bright future for U.S. coal in the international market, but we expect lower metallurgical export volumes in 2014," he said.
Paul A. Lang, Arch's executive vice president and chief operating officer, said the company reduced its cash cost in Appalachia by 4 percent last year while cutting volumes by 20 percent.
"We have been actively realigning our portfolio in the region to concentrate production on our lowest-cost mines and to shift our outputs toward higher-margin metallurgical markets," he said.
Met coal made up about half the tons Arch sold from its Appalachian mines last year. That was up from 2012, and Arch expects met tonnage to be a greater percentage this year, Lang said.

Influenza Pandemic:
Applying Lessons Learned from the 2004-05 Influenza Vaccine Shortage

Concern has been rising about the nation's preparedness to respond to vaccine shortages that could occur in future annual influenza seasons or during an influenza pandemic--a global influenza outbreak. Although the timing or extent of a future influenza pandemic cannot be predicted, studies suggest that its effect in the United States could be severe, and shortages of vaccine could occur. For the 2004-05 annual influenza season, the nation lost about half its expected influenza vaccine supply when one of two major manufacturers announced in October 2004 that it would not release any vaccine. GAO examined federal, state, and local actions taken in response to the shortage, including lessons learned. The nation's experience during the unexpected 2004-05 vaccine shortfall offers insights into some of the challenges that government entities will face in a pandemic. GAO was asked to provide a statement on lessons learned from the 2004-05 vaccine shortage and their relevance to planning and preparing for similar situations in the future, including an influenza pandemic. This statement is based on a GAO report, Influenza Vaccine: Shortages in 2004-05 Season Underscore Need for Better Preparation (GAO-05-984), and on previous GAO reports and testimonies about influenza vaccine supply and pandemic preparedness.
A number of lessons emerged from federal, state, and local responses to the 2004-05 influenza vaccine shortage that carry implications for handling future vaccine shortages in either an annual influenza season or an influenza pandemic. First, limited contingency planning slows response. At the start of the 2004-05 influenza season, when the supply shortfall became apparent, the nation lacked a contingency plan specifically to address severe shortages. The absence of such a plan led to delays and uncertainties on the part of state and local public health entities on how best to ensure access to vaccine by individuals at high risk of severe influenza-related complications. Second, streamlined mechanisms to expedite vaccine availability are key to an effective response. During the 2004-05 shortage, for example, federal purchases of vaccine licensed for use in other countries but not the United States were not completed in time to meet peak demand. Some states' experience also highlighted the importance of mechanisms to transfer available vaccine quickly and easily from one state to another. Third, effective response requires clear and consistent communication. Consistency among federal, state, and local communications is critical for averting confusion. State and local health officials also emphasized the value of updated information when responding to changing circumstances, using diverse media to reach diverse audiences, and educating providers and the public about prevention alternatives. Over the past 5 years, GAO has urged the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to complete its plan to prepare for and respond to an influenza pandemic. GAO has reported on the importance of planning to address critical issues such as how vaccine will be purchased and distributed; how population groups will be given priority for vaccination; and how federal resources should be deployed before the nation faces a pandemic. On November 2, 2005, HHS released its pandemic influenza plan. GAO did not have the opportunity to review the plan before issuing this statement to determine the extent to which the plan addresses these critical issues.

Zipcar is the world's largest car-sharing network, and NC State is one of more than 225 colleges and universities partnering with the program.
You can join Zipcar for $35 a year, with membership entitling you to rent Prius hybrids and Scion XB crossovers for $8 an hour.
There are four Zipcars at NC State, located in the Dan Allen carriageway near the Cates/Dan Allen intersection and Bragaw Hall and on Dunn Avenue near the Coliseum parking deck.
If you sign up before March 1, you'll receive free driving credits to use during your first month of service. The code for the promotion discount is backtoschool2011.
The Bulletin also reported this week on the Zipcar service and other ride-sharing options available on campus.
2 Responses to "Zipcar provides new transportation option at NC State"
I teach a course for the college of education that has a required field component. Many of my students do not have transportation. If I join zip car, can I reserve cars for my students to carpool to and from their field placements?
How would that work?

Celia Lose
Statement of AFT President Randi Weingarten
on the Election of New AFL-CIO Officers
PITTSBURGH—America's working people have inspiring new leadership that is tailor-made for our challenging times. Rich Trumka is a known fighter for worthy causes, and just as passionate a bridge-builder in his quest to achieve a more just society. With Liz Shuler and Arlene Holt Baker as part of his team, the AFL-CIO is poised to lead America's labor movement to a position of greater strength.
The labor movement is America's great equalizer and a powerful agent for creating opportunity. But, today, formidable forces are arrayed against working people and labor unions. We're in an uphill battle. But it's a battle we must fight and win.
This team is motivated—not cowed—by these challenges. And they reflect the diversity and strengths of the members they represent. We need a vibrant, relevant, new labor movement that reaches out to all workers, and that helps restore the economy, ensures fairness in the workplace, rebuilds the middle class and gives employees a greater voice.
Their task will not be easy. But unions are born of tough times and built for tough times. The new AFL-CIO leaders will have the strength and support of the American Federation of Teachers' 1.4 million members to help usher in a new era of equality and opportunity. We share their desire to unify America's labor movement to increase our ability to lift up the prospects and hopes of every working man and woman. Together, we will continue to make America a better, more equitable place.

This is Blow's second stint as Falcons' head coach. During his first tenure from 2008 to 2010, the basketball program experienced its most successful period in school history. In 2010, Blow directed the Falcons to their first CIAA championship and NCAA Division II playoff berth in 13 years. It was the Falcons' second conference title overall.
"We are excited to have Coach Blow back as we transition into university status," President Dr. Dianne Boardley Suber said. "Coach
Blow exemplifies the leadership that propels student-athletes to not only excel on the court but in the classroom."
His teams compiled a 46-15 record in two years including a 27-5 mark in the 2009-10 season, which was the best season winning percentage (.844) for the Falcons since the NCAA started keeping track of the program's statistics in 1975. Blow, who won a conference crown quicker than any St. Aug coach, was named NCAA Division II national coach of the year by Heritage Sports Radio Network and CIAA coach of the year in 2010, the same year his team was ranked 23rd nationally in the NABC Division II Coaches Poll and third in the Atlantic Region.
During his time at St. Aug, Blow was known for discipline and defense. The Falcons ranked first in the nation in field goal percentage defense (.358) and third in the nation in rebounding (42.8 rpg) in 2010.
"Coach Blow's return is a step in the right direction for the men's basketball program," athletic director George Williams said. "He showed in his first stint that he knows how to be successful in the CIAA. We look forward to competing on a conference, regional and national level."
Blow returns to St. Aug from Old Dominion University where he was an assistant coach at the Division I mid-major program for two seasons. He used his defensive knowledge to help Old Dominion become one of the best defensive teams in Division I. In the 2010-11 season, the Monarchs were the top rebounding team and the third-ranked defensive team in the nation. That same season, the Monarchs won the Paradise Jam tournament, captured the CAA title and received an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. They finished the season as the third-ranked mid-major team in the nation. In the 2011-12 season, the Monarchs reached the quarterfinals of the University Insiders Tournament.
"This is a great opportunity for me," Blow said. "This is a good time for me to come back. I look forward to the challenge of returning the program back to a competitive level."
Honors such as these are not rare to Blow who prior to coaching university was the head boys basketball coach at Granby High School from 1995-2005, and the men's assistant coach at Maury High School from 1984-1995. At Granby, he coached the boys' team to the Virginia AAA state title and was named AAA state coach of the year in 2000. In 2001, Blow led Granby to the Virginia AAA state semifinals.
Blow was named Eastern District coach of the year in 2001, 2003 and 2004, while earning Eastern Regional coach of the year honors in 2000 and 2001.
Blow served as an assistant coach at Norfolk State University from 2006-08 and at Hampton University from 2005-06 where he coached four All-MEAC players and a MEAC Tournament MVP. Hampton won the 2006 MEAC title.
Before entering the coaching profession, Blow was an outstanding university basketball player from 1979-82 at Virginia Wesleyan University. Blow was named Dixie Conference player of the year during the 1980-81 season. He was also a two-time All-American and All-South Atlantic Region selection, and a three-time All-Dixie Conference player, including two selections to the first team.
Blow is Virginia Wesleyan's third all-time career scorer with 1,574 points. He shares the Virginia Wesleyan single game scoring record of 40 points against St. Andrews in 1981. He still holds the single season record for points with 625 in 1980-81. That same year, he made 281 field goals which is also school single season mark. In 2009, Blow was inducted into the Virginia Wesleyan Sports Hall of Fame.
Blow was a first-team All-Tidewater selection at Frederick Military Academy and led the area in scoring during the 1977-78 season with a 31.1 points per game average. He also served as coordinator for the summer youth programs at Old Dominion from 1992 to 2001.
Blow received his undergraduate degree from Virginia Wesleyan University in 1982 with a degree in sociology and criminal justice. Blow is married to Donna Maxine and has an adult son, Kenneth.

In this party I love the monkey clip with Ali's head :) it is really fun and he is so cute.
Printable blocks are really cute and smart!
