Applying for Coverage under EPA's Construction General Permit (CGP)
Who Needs Coverage
In general, you need to apply for permit coverage if your construction site will disturb one or more acre of land, or will disturb less than one acre of land but is part of a common plan of development or sale that will ultimately disturb one or more acres of land, and you are responsible for either:
If you elect to apply for coverage under the 2012 CGP, you must follow the process in the section below, entitled "How to Obtain Permit Coverage." The 2012 CGP only applies in areas where EPA is the permitting authority. Refer to this list or to Appendix B (PDF) (5 pp, 98K) to determine if your project occurs in an area where EPA is the permitting authority.Attention operators with permit coverage under the 2008 Construction General Permit (CGP): The 2008 CGP expired on February 15, 2012, and therefore, permit coverage for any projects covered under the 2008 CGP is considered to be expired. If your project was covered under the 2008 CGP and has not yet completed, you must immediately apply for coverage under the 2012 CGP. Note that EPA is no longer processing Notice of Terminations for projects covered under the 2008 CGP.
How to Obtain Permit Coverage
Step 1. Read the 2012 Construction General Permit (CGP) and fact sheet. A copy of the Final 2012 CGP (PDF) (165 pp, 4.4MB) and 2012 CGP Permit Fact Sheet (PDF) (135 pp, 1.4MB) can be downloaded from this site.
Step 2. Note that this permit only applies in areas where EPA is the permitting authority. You can review this list or Appendix B (PDF) (5 pp, 98K) to determine if your construction project is located in an area that is eligible for coverage. You must also ensure that you meet the other eligibility requirements, including endangered species (PDF) (7 pp, 161K) and historic properties (PDF) (4 pp, 122K) requirements.
Step 3. Develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). SWPPPs are detailed plans outlining how sediment and erosion controls and other best management practices will be implemented on a construction site. Guidance on developing a SWPPP and the implementation of appropriate best management practices is available from EPA. SWPPPs must be developed in accordance with the 2012 CGP prior to submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) form to obtain permit coverage.
Step 4. Complete and submit an NOI for your project at least 14 calendar days prior to the commencement of construction at your site, with the exception of the specific types of projects listed in the table below. You must submit a complete and accurate NOI to EPA to be covered under the CGP. You are required to fill out your NOI using EPA's electronic Notice of Intent (eNOI) system. However, you may contact the EPA Regional Office that corresponds to the location of your site for approval to use a paper form. If you are given approval by the EPA Regional Office, and you elect to use it, you must complete the paper NOI form in Appendix J (PDF) (8 pp, 367K).
It is important to understand that signing and submitting the NOI form obligates you to comply with the terms of the CGP.
Modifying a Notice of Intent (NOI)You must use the eNOI system to modify your NOI, unless the Regional Office has given you approval to file a paper NOI. Note that if you will be increasing your disturbed acreage by one or more acres, the new disturbed acreage will be subject to a 14-day review process. During this review process, you may continue to operate on the original disturbed acreage indicated on your original NOI, but must wait until the 14-day review process has ended before operating on the new acreage, unless EPA notifies you that your authorization to operate on the new acreage has been delayed or denied. If given approval by the Regional Office to submit a paper NOI form, use this suggested format (PDF) (4 pp, 234K) for modification of your paper NOI.
How to Terminate Permit Coverage
You must use the eNOI system to submit a Notice of Termination (NOT), unless the Regional Office has given you approval to file a paper NOT. If given approval by the Regional Office to submit a paper NOI form, you must complete the paper NOT form in Appendix K (PDF) (4 pp, 194K).
Permit Waivers
Three waivers are available to operators of small construction sites (1-5 acres). (See Appendix C: Small Construction Waivers and Instructions (PDF) (4 pp, 87K) of the 2012 CGP.) The Stormwater NPDES permitting authority (in each state) will determine if these waivers will be available to construction site operators.
No waivers for large construction activity (5 acres and above) are available.
How to File Paper Forms
Forms submitted by mail are sent to EPA's Notice of Intent Processing Center. Upon receipt of a complete form with an original signature in ink (no copies), EPA's Notice of Intent Processing Center will send the applicant an acknowledgement letter including a tracking number. Permittees may contact the NOI Processing Center via email at email@example.com (firstname.lastname@example.com) or at (866) 352-7755 to determine the status of a particular form.
Submit your forms by mail to one of the following addresses:

Day Spas >Graceful Services Spa
1095 2nd Ave 2nd Fl, New York, NY | Directions 1002240.759395 -73.969781
Daily 10am-10pm
Neighborhoods: Midtown
Clean, they change the sheets and towels. I wanted a strong massage and my therapist knew exactly what to do. I am a repeat customer because I always get a great massage at Graceful Services.
Great Massages! – I recently moved to California and I will definitely miss going to graceful services for my monthly massages. It's a small and peaceful environment with good prices!
great hot stone massage – I showed up for my massage in a terrible mood and the receptionist made me wait. But all of that was forgotten 10 minutes into my hot stone massage. The therapist was very solicitous, asking if things were ok. She was able to go quite hard without triggering any of my nerve points, so it was very enjoyable. It was only an hour, but it felt like much longer. It is not the most basic place I've been - but it is no-frills - no relaxation room or nice reception area. There is a sauna, but it is quite small.
Amazing massage – I've had massages all over and this is definitely one of the best ones I've had. The massage therapist took out all my knots and tension and I felt totally renewed after! They get you from your ears to your toes, literally...felt great all over.
BEST medicinal massage - understand what they do! – if you like your massage, HARD, MEDICINAL AND MIRACULOUS... GO!!! i've never had a bad massage here though i'm partial to the men. that's just preference. Jeff is a miracle worker. do your homework and know this isn't your frilly chi chi girly place. they work on your CHI and all that ails you. the place is a treasure!
Thank you so much for your business and a good review. We do our best to help people.
BEST MASSAGE EVER!!! – I just can't understand the negative reviews. Every time I've gone to Graceful Services I have been so pleased with the results. What they do best is not give you a frilly, gentle, pampering massage. Their talents lie in giving therapeutic massage, which eases out stiffness and tension and muscle tightness and pain. I have suffered from chronic shoulder pain, and travel-induced lower back and hip pain. I have tried chiropractors and physical therapists and have done yoga. But, when I am in NYC, I have found Graceful Services to be the best. You do have to make sure your therapist understands what kind of pressure you like. My last therapist, Maggie, started my session with a firm touch, but I asked her to increase the pressure, and then asked her specifically to work out my tight hip and buttocks muscles, because I hadn't been able to walk or even sleep without pain and stiffness. After that massage, I felt like a new woman. I felt like my body had been loosened up, and when I walked away from there, I felt like walking was effortless. I hadn't felt like that in a long time. It was amazing. And, the results stayed with me for almost two weeks. Actually, my buttocks muscles still have not returned to that state, and it's been even longer. Really a HUGE difference! I was happy, and I didn't have to take Advil every day anymore.
Some people may not realize that if you do request a good, hard massage like the ones I do, you may feel a bit sore for a day or two. And, if it gets uncomfortable during the massage, let your therapist know.
Thank you, Graceful Services!! You are the best!
Massage from hell – Wow, so our group of 4 decided to get massages to end our Wonderful trip to New York. Little did we know what was to come. We get there and notice the very uninviting atmosphere and hospital like set up along with the unclean little space. We all went in expecting a relaxing time and all but one of us came out horrified, violated and in pain. My experience was horrific and extremely painful! She never once asked me what type of pressure I would like and she could tell I was uncomfortable. But did she stop? No! She just said relax!! Well honey, when you're diving into my knots with full force, I CANT relax genius! I felt VERY violated with my legs all up and pretzel like as well as my arms. I think she was trying to pluck my limbs off (like plucking feathers off a chicken). I've never been so hacked off after a massage. I'm back at the hotel feeling like I've been beat out of anger. I could tell she was annoyed because I kept moving. I'm definitely regretting not speaking up or even running out the door.
As for the other 2 in my group, they felt just about the same way as I did. In pain, feeling violated, and hacked.
Only one of us isn't in pain, but she definitely didn't enjoy it.
One person in the group handed the masseuse a few ones for a tip and she threw it on the ground. Tips ARE expected and some masseuses will block you till you hand them money!! Rude
So, if you're looking for rude people, trashy hospital-like atmosphere, pain, and even tears... This is your place!
You can get wayyyy better for your money, trust me. – Hm. I'm not really sure why everyone raves about this place. There is a place on E77th that will give you an hour massage for $45 with a private room...
I booked a swedish massage last minute here, $60 for the hour the receptionist told me. I was hankering for one and so I went for it, it is also near my work. When I got there, the receptionist told me I had to pay before the massage "That way it's easy for you to just leave afterwards..." . He was also kind of a creepy dude. When he rung me up it was $63, not $60. I don't mind the $3 extra, I just didn't like that the receptionist lied to me over the phone.
I should have asked to see the area before I paid, and now I know why they ask you to pay before hand, because it was pretty hospital like. Two big rooms, with 3 stations in each room, all separated by a very flimsy curtain. My masseuse attempted to do a swedish massage, and I've had several and could tell that she did not know the techniques at ALL. It felt like I just asked a friend for a shoulder massage or something. The curtain was so thin and I was probably an arms width length away from the person in the next station (who was a dude, who was snoring. I could hear everything in his massage and was not comfortable changing knowing he was about 4 feet from me). The masseuse also set a timer. Instead of 1 hour, she set it for 45 minutes. How do I know? Because when it went off, and I changed back into my clothes (which took a long time because it's winter), it was 9:15pm (my massage started at 8:15pm). She then was waiting outside my room and stuck her hand out for a tip without saying a word. I really should have given her less but I gave her about $10. Rather than exiting out the front, they take you to a back door and you're out the building.
Definitely will not be going back again. Honestly my opinion people? Do research, find somewhere cheaper. If you don't mind this atmosphere, that's cool, just don't pay $60 for it, go somewhere else and pay less for it.
Massage – I had two massages at Graceful Services. I recall the first time when I came, the woman behind the desk wasn't friendly at all. She just told me the price and had me pay.
The first massage I had was very good which brought me back a second time despite the unfriendly receptionist. Unfortunately, the second massage was low quality. There were also sick people coughing and making all sorts of noise whilst I was there. I left very disappointed and won't return.
Horrific Experience ...NEGATIVE 3 STARS! – This was the worst experience I have ever had at a "spa". This hole in the wall should not even be considered a spa. Upon your arrival you are asked to pay and are informed that if you pay via credit, you will be charged a service fee. You are then guided through a tiny hallway to a room which seperates you from the person next to you only by a shower curtain. You are then instructed to disrobe, in the few inches of space you are alotted, and place your belongings in a plastic bin which you then place under your massage bed. My masseuse came into the room and could not have been ruder. She started rubbing her elbows on my back in a circular motion, that wasnt the problem, the problem was that she was rubbing so fast I felt as though she was rushing to get somewhere. She then proceeded to "massage" my back with the dropletts of oil she would drop into her hand and would continue to deeply rub my RIBS and my SHOULDER blades! I felt as though I was in a torture chamber! My body was tense during the entire session, which was supposed to be 50 minutes and was not more than 30! The moaning of the man on the other side of my shower curtain, whose table was about 1 foot away from mine, just added to this horrific experience. This place is not even worth the reduced spa week rates! I will make sure to put it on my list of places I will never return to. I just hope im not bruised tomorrow!

Ray Ozzie, renown for jumpstarting Microsoft's move to the Internet cloud, described a new vision for the company in a "post-PC world."
Ozzie is the former chief software architect for Microsoft, having moved on to an unspecified transition role at the entertainment side of the company. Ozzie's semi-retirement was announced last week by Microsoft, along with the elimination of the chief software architect position (a former Bill Gates role). Ozzie is perhaps best known for his 2005 Microsoft memo outlining a services-connected world. Microsoft has embraced that view, as signaled by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's speech in March that the company is "all in" the cloud.
Ozzie's latest memo, posted today but oddly dated in the future (Oct. 28, 2010), asks a question that might not be music to the ears of Microsoft with its near-monopoly on the desktop PC operating system market. Ozzie sees a world of multiple, appliance-like "connected devices" that sync with the cloud, perhaps implying that there might be less of a need for, or interest in, PCs.
"And so at this juncture, given all that has transpired in computing and communications, it's important that all of us do precisely what our competitors and customers will ultimately do: close our eyes and form a realistic picture of what a post-PC world might actually look like, if it were to ever truly occur."
However, Ozzie did note an exception, citing the rise of low-cost netbooks. When they were first launched, netbooks ran Linux-based operating systems. But a year later, Microsoft's Windows XP became the predominant OS distribution for netbooks. However, shadowing that accomplishment is the possibility that users might connect to the Internet on laptop-like devices without Windows at all. Google has laid out such a vision with its Chrome OS concept, but it is yet to come to market.
Of course, Microsoft is already positioning itself for a consumer device-connected world, having unveiled Windows Phone 7-based devices this month. The company currently trails in the consumer mobile OS market but dominates in the commercial device operating system market with its Windows Embedded product line. Windows Embedded operating systems are currently used in equipment such as ruggedized field devices, kiosks and digital signs.
Ozzie also sees a role for social networks, for both individuals and businesses. The next killer apps will find a role there, tapping "continuous services." He also sees some tension associated with the cloud and privacy issues.
"Our personal and corporate data now sits within these services -- and as a result we're more and more concerned with issues of trust & privacy," he wrote.
Microsoft has a whole Trustworthy Computing effort devoted to this cause, and the company has sometimes publicized its efforts on privacy, such as with its search and browser technologies. But the company will only go so far. Microsoft did not join Google's strong stance against Chinese government censorship of search results, for instance. At the same time, Google has been criticized for sampling Wi-Fi networks in drive-by polling. In Germany, Google's practice of photographing neighborhoods has met with strong public disapproval.
Oddly, Ozzie's brainchild before coming to Microsoft, a peer-to-peer collaboration application called Groove, was used as part of a U.S. intelligence-gathering prototype for the infamous Total Information Awareness program, according to a 2002 New York Times article. Groove is now renamed as Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010 and is offered as part of the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 product.
Ozzie's latest memo is worth reading as a signal that Microsoft may be putting even greater emphasis on the mobile devices world. Possibly, that focus is part of Ozzie's new role at Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division, but so far that's unclear.

Dec. 12 marks a wonderful anniversary in Canada.
When it first came to power in 2006, the Conservative government introduced the Accountability Act, "to help strengthen accountability and increase transparency and oversight in government operations."
On Dec. 12, 2006, the Federal Accountability Act received Royal Assent. The Act also created the position of Parliamentary Budget Officer to provide objective oversight to the Senate and House of Commons about the estimates of the government, the state of the nation's finances and trends in the national economy.
This Dec. 12 was a moment to reflect on what has happened in Canada since the passing of this Act.
Since December 2006, the Prime Minister has twice prorogued Parliament to avoid criticism and censure. He has sacked or gagged government-appointed watchdogs, who were carrying out their oversight roles openly and transparently and doing their jobs too well. He has secretly negotiated trade deals with countries likely to sue indiscriminately if Canada's laws interfere with their ability to do business.
Using gargantuan omnibus bills, he has rammed through Draconian changes in multiple laws under the guise of a budget. He silenced the Parliamentary Budget Officer, rendering his role superfluous and ineffectual.
What has become of objective analysis, accountability, transparency and oversight?
On Dec. 12, did we celebrate the existence of the Accountability Act, or mourn its ignominious death?

The Aids Support Organization (TASO) Uganda has received a financial boost of sh125m from Aidshilfe Für Afrika, an organization based in Germany.The money is to enhance TASO's effort in fighting HIV/AIDS and promoting awareness about the danger of the disease whose cure is yet to be found.Aidshilfe Für Afrika is spearheaded by Dr. Wolfgang Lenzen, who mobilized the funds through a bicycle rally. He rode and covered a distance of 1550km in 12 days last year, and a total of 1,967 people tested for HIV during the fundraising.Dr. Wolfgang, 64, a German national and Professor of Philosophy from the University of Osnabruck, embarked on a campaign bicycle tour around the world to raise funds for people infected and affected by HIV and AIDS under the care of TASO and "Feria Libre - El Arenal", a school project for underprivileged children in Cuenca, Ecuador.TASO's executive director, Dr. Christine Nabiryo received the cheque at the headquarters, and said the donation was a big support in preventing the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Uganda."We are grateful for the support you have given to TASO over the years. TASO cannot live without partners, and we always treasure them, "she said.The representative of Germany ambassador, Lilo Csiappell, commended TASO's 25 years of existence and support in the east African country's fight against HIV/AIDS control and improving the quality of life among people living with HIV."You have done an exceptionally enormous job in improving the quality of life for people living with HIV," Csiappel said.Dr. Wolfgang had planned to cover a distance equivalent to the full circumference of the earth (40, 075 km) within the span of twelve months, where the route would lead him to all five continents. He would get one Euro from sponsors for each kilometer he would cover."I am very happy that I was able to raise this money for TASO. Even if in the end I did not achieve my goal of riding the 40,075km within 12 months, I nevertheless raised a lot of Euros. Most of the funds I raised went to TASO," he said.He said he chose TASO because of its unprecedented work in fighting HIV/AIDS. The proceeds from his fundraising bicycle also supported a charity project in South America.

Every once in a while, Facebook gets it right with targeted advertising. At first, we thought the Suggested Post was from a mobile app with a beautifully designed logo. And, being that we're suckers for great design, we clicked on it. We were then transported to a simple website with a personal film for an even simpler idea that we wish we came up with. One that has the potential to start a global movement by building awareness for and change an increasing dangerous habit, and ultimately save lives.

Kinase profiling has become a crucial, but costly, necessity for developing targeted kinase inhibitors. The new Kinase Enzyme Systems provide the enzyme, substrate, buffer, and ADP-Glo™ reagents in an integrated, easy-to-use protocol for quantifying the activity of over 170 kinases, including lipid kinases.
ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay is a luminescent kinase assay that measures ADP formed from a kinase reaction; ADP is converted into ATP, which is converted into light by Ultra-Glo™ Luciferase. The luminescent signal positively correlates with kinase activity. The assay is well suited for measuring the effects chemical compounds have on the activity of a broad range of purified kinases, making it ideal for both primary screening as well as kinase selectivity profiling. The ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay can be used to monitor the activity of virtually any ADP-generating enzyme (e.g., kinase or ATPase) using up to 1mM ATP.
Each Kinase Enzyme System is comprised of a recombinant human kinase, substrate, buffer and supplemental reagents optimized for use with the ADP-Glo Kinase Assay. An Application Note for each KES is available that gives specific information on how to use the reagents with ADP-Glo, which minimizes to amount of optimization required.
Promega lipid kinase enzymes, substrates and detection systems provide a complete set of reagents for performing phosphoinositide lipid kinase (PIK) reactions using a luminescent ADP-detection platform, the ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay. The reagents include purified human recombinant proteins of Class I PI3Ks, optimized reaction buffer and ready-to-use lipid kinase substrates.
We offer a range of services to help you succeed using Promega technologies. From product training to set up of automated systems and development of custom applications—our scientific support goes beyond the basics.

April in Minnesota. As we patiently wait for the last of the snow and ice to melt and the ground to firm up, we start thinking about being outside in earnest. For those who like to garden, their thoughts turn to seeds and planting. One of our first fresh vegetables of the season should be right around the corner - asparagus! They say you can practically see asparagus growing - in the right conditions it can grow an inch an hour!
This popular green vegetable is a nutrient powerhouse. It is also a low calorie choice. Each stalk only contains about five calories, but it contains high levels of vitamins A, B, C, oxalic acid, calcium, magnesium, potassium and folate. And it is high in fiber and an anti-oxidant! It is a great addition to any meal.
The one thing I don't like about asparagus is that once in a while you find a spear that is "woody." So, if you can pick your own fresh asparagus or select it in the store, be sure to look for spears that have a good color, have closed, rounded tips and are a bit white on the bottom. Spears that are limp or that have the tips spread open will probably be tough and stringy. There is nothing worse when serving and eating asparagus than to have one or two poor quality spears mixed in with good ones!
Asparagus can be served a number of ways. It can be served as a side dish to most any entre. It can be added to casseroles for a savory flavor. It can be grilled on your barbecue grill. If you do try to grill asparagus, remember that it won't take as long to cook the asparagus spears as it will your meat, so you will need to adjust your time accordingly.
If you have grilled vegetables before, you know how good they can taste when they are done this way. I like to use a grilling basket for vegetables. It is easier to turn and keep them together in a basket and it keeps them from falling through the grates as well. Vegetables also work well on a skewer. The Turkish word "sis kebap" traditionally means meat that is cooked on a skewer, traditionally lamb. That food item has been adapted to our version of shish kabob, which can be a variety of meats and vegetables that are skewered and grilled.
Another popular way to grill potatoes and vegetables is in a tinfoil packet. This too, keeps the food products together and is an easier way to manage getting them turned and evenly cooked. I know that I'm ready for spring and the fresh vegetables and fruits! Let's get the season started!

Austin >Liquor Stores > The Austin Wine Merchant
512 W 6TH St, Austin, TX | Directions 7870130.269612 -97.747928
Neighborhoods: Downtown
Arguably more a wine retailer than a wine bar proper, Austin Wine Merchant nevertheless makes for a fantastic date night, if you sign up for one of their tastings. Teaming up with local restaurants and caterers, AWM does themed food and wine nights (South American, Tapas & Sherry, etc.) for reasonable prices, usually in the range $40 or $45 per person.
Wine tastings – The free wine tastings on Saturdays are a great way to interact with the staff and ask wine-related questions, which is great for people like me who aren't quite wine connoisseurs.
Approachable, Friendly Service, Not a Specs – As a long time customer, I have seen The Austin Wine Merchant, under go several evolutions as a local, small, yet fast growing business. New wines, different employees, and massive construction. I have always entered the store to be greeted with a smile and atleast two or three people who will say hello and ask if I need help-usually I just browse-but the staff is eager and honest about there level of wine knowledge that they have, each seems to have their niche.
Its very Austin and has a more elagant appeal without being too up-ity! I know they do wine tastings on Saturdays, I have only attended one, it was very low key and educational-I look forward to a chance to return-
Recommend but with observations – Since the recent expansion I have visited the Wine Merchant on 3 ocassions. Prices are fair. Selection is good. They have expanded to carrying additional liquor and an adequate offering of beers and chilled wines in the cooler. Certainly there is no harm in attracting the local residents seeking carryout. It appears though that the expansion has done mothing to improve the service and staff knowledge. Yes, John knows enough about french wines but this isn't what most of us care about. Variety and trying new grape should be encourage. Why the bias to french when there are some many other great wines including the best Nebbiolo available.
Request-stop the over the top interest in french and your suppliers glut.

Andrei Chikatilo, AKA "The Rostove Ripper," has a story that is about as sickening as it is Kafkaesque. Over a span of twenty-two years he managed to kill a total of 56 people either via stabbing or strangulation. His first murder was in 1978, but what makes this case so surreal is that not only did he get away with this murder scott-free, but another man was wrongly accused, convicted, and executed for the crime. Over the course of the investigations (which spanned sixteen years), several people confessed to the murders, but in almost all of these cases the people who "confessed" were either mentally handicapped or severly beaten by police (or both). In 1984 he was actually arrested by a plain clothed police officer after observing Chikatilo trying to pick up a young woman at a train stop, a method he often used to procure victims. He was found to be in possession of a knife and a rope, but was arrested on unrelated chargers and served three months in prison.
What is the most aggregious lapse of Soviet police accumen is the fact that in 1990 Chikaltilo was stopped in the middle of the woods shortly after commiting another murder. He was in business attire, smeared with dirt (and possibly blood), and was carrying a nylon travel bag. The police took his name and let him go. Inside the bag were parts of his victim that he had removed. That's right. He managed to basically walk out of a murder scene with a duffle bag stuff with human body parts. Apparently it was very easy to be sent to prison in the USSR by being a dissident, a coward, or simply Polish, but if you're a serial child murderer, you were given a much longer rope.
Luckily the police didn't drop the ball for long and Chikatilo was arrested shortly after his stop in the woods. He then confessed to these crimes shortly there after (as well as several the police didn't know about). While undergoing trial he adapted the "Charles Manson Defense," as lawyers call it, which involved shouting incoherently and exposing himself. It didn't work. He was convicted in 1991 and executed three years later.
What makes Chikatilo so unique is that he managed to stick to a single pattern for so long and evade years of police investigations that would make the Keystone Cops cluck their tongues in disapproval. And somehow this guy managed to not only evade capture from the police, but thrive. It's almost inspiring. No, wait, that's the wrong word. What's the word I'm thinking of? . . Oh yeah, horrifying.

People in Charlottesville now have a new, greener way to get around, Zip Cars. The new fuel-efficient and hybrid car-sharing program arrived on the grounds of the University of Virginia Tuesday.
Local residents and students are allowed to rent the new Zip Cars by the hour, with gas and insurance included in the price. The fuel-efficient and hybrid Zip Cars will be based on the grounds of UVa, but company officials say they plan to serve the entire Charlottesville community.
"I think the majority of use will come from obviously students, faculty and staff, but you will definitely see people from the local community using the cars," said Matthew Mallow, of Zip Car.
The cars are also available for a flat fee.

There are two ways to run against Barack Obama: stewardship or ideology. You can run against his record or you can run against his ideas.
The stewardship case is pretty straightforward: the worst recovery in U.S. history, 42 consecutive months of 8-plus percent unemployment, declining economic growth — all achieved at a price of an additional $5 trillion of accumulated debt.

Here's an interesting idea. Gardner Campbell (Baylor University) asked his new media studies students to tell a story in five frames (uploaded to a group on Flickr). The resulting student projects are really quite clever and intriguing.
What biology story could your students tell in five frames? Or ten? What could we learn about what they know (and how they feel about what they know) from their visual stories – and also from the storyboards they create to plan those stories? Might be a fun project to try?

Let me try if I learned anything from the pro's here on the forum.
Cut the power off and drain the water from the pressure tank.
Then put 28 PSI of air in the tank(2 PSI below cut in pressure of 30).
turn the power back on and see what happens...if it has a 30/50 pressure switch it should stop at 50.
If not maybe the line from the pressure switch is clogged or the pressure switch is bad.You can buy a 30/50 square D pressure switch pretty cheap at the HD.
Worse case scenario is that you might have a busted line somewhere between the pump and the house.
But let some of the pro's react on this one...I might be going in the right direction though

Continuity 2: The Continuation
By Ragtime Games LLC
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Continuity 2: The Continuation is the sequel to the puzzle game Continuity. Continuity has been played over 6 million times and won the Best Student Game award at the 2010 Independent Games Festival and Gameplay Innovation award at IndieCade 2010.
In Continuity 2, the game world is drawn onto sliding tiles. You must figure out how to rearrange each level in order to move your character through it, collect the key, and unlock the door. Continuity 2 is a Universal App, includes Game Center achievements, and contains 50 brand new levels that have been designed specifically for iPhone and iPad.
What people had to say about Continuity 2:
"The greatest puzzle platformer you'll play this summer, or ever." -- The Awl
"Frustrating in all the right ways, this sophisticated head-scratcher is a must for puzzle nuts." -- Pocket Gamer
"A must-have for any puzzle fan, Continuity 2 is remarkably elegant in its simplicity." -- GameZebo
"The iOS is hardly short of inventive platformers, but this one certainly ranks as one of the freshest and most engaging to emerge for some time." -- Euro Gamer
"Continuity 2: The Continuation is a masterfully designed puzzle-platformer" -- Slide To Play
"I'll probably keep this one around long after I master all the challenge times, just to show people how neat iOS gaming can be." -- Touch Arcade
What's New in Version 1.2
Added Game Center.
Fixed some input bugs.
Customer Reviews
Brilliant, Challenging, Elegant
I played the original Continuity back when it won the Independent Games Festival's Student Showcase back in 2010, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that a sequel even existed. If you haven't played the original, go do that right now. I'll wait.
Okay, played it? Good. Anyway, in this sequel, the concept has held up very well, and it's clear that the team worked very hard refining it and expanding on that core gameplay. Rotating the level's gravity was a constant amusement from when it was first introduced, and even the lever puzzles were pretty engaging. Most importantly, none of these new mechanics detract from the core experience of sliding the level around and trying to piece a path together.
If I have one complaint, it's that jumping felt really weird at the beginning of the game, just from a user input perspective. But, I quickly got over it because the game is just that fun.
If you liked the original Continuity, get this. If you like puzzles, get this. Just get this.
An Awesome Puzzle-Platformer
Crap. My first review didn't get through. Oh well. I'll cut to the chase.
This game is really innovative. The base mechanic of sliding the panels of the world around works like a treat. Now add gravity-shifting and switch-flipping that depends on the panels' adjacency to each other to the mix, and you get a pretty mind-bending experience. At first, jumping is a little weird, and Worlds 1 and 2 are a bit slow to introduce new mechanics, but once you get to World 3 the gravity-shifting adds a whole new level of complexity to the types of puzzles available. I'm currently on World 5, and I'm still having a blast.
If you're looking for a puzzle game that utilizes the touch screen and motion-sensing capabilities to their fullest without crowding the screen with silly buttons or introducing baffling controls (you know, like shooters with tilt-based turning), look no further. This game definitely has the chops to be among the best puzzle games of the year.
Great game, but some issues with controls
Just as fun and challenging as the original flash game BUT:
1.) swipe to jump feature: sometimes character jumps in opposite direction
2.) when changing orientation character doesn't immediately flip, but hangs there sideways or upside down for a short time (counted 5 seconds once before he finally flipped)
3.) suggest that double-tap for zoom be changed to "pinch" feature -- when trying to get character to move forward just a little at a time I wind up accidentally zooming out (annoying)
PS: If you are at all unsure if you'll like this game and you haven't already played the free flash game "Continuity (#1)" then I highly recommend you do so BEFORE buying this app (the two versions are VERY similar). That way other users don't have to sift through useless comments such as you just didn't like or couldn't "get" this game.

Family Resource Management
Personal Finance and Other Family Resource Management
Efforts in this area provide an understanding of how individuals and families obtain and utilize resources of time, money, and human capital to achieve higher standard of living and overall quality of life. This area is also concerned with factors affecting the decision-making process, such as availability of resources, life events, living patterns, values, goals, interests, and attitudes of families, and external forces such as public issues, policies, and programs
Traditionally referred to as personal finance, family resource management (FRM) covers not only personal finance, but also other household resources such as skills, education, time, household members, and household appliances. FRM may be seen as a combined fields of finance and management applied to the household or family organization, instead of a business setting.

When people ask me what do I do in the university, I'd say that I teach but not to the typical students. The extension (vs. teaching vs. research) effort focuses on applying knowledge and research into practical utilization among the public, including those who are not university students.
Why do we need FRM?
Contact FRM Extension Specialist for inquiries or to set up FRM-related program. We provide trainings, clinics, and talks usually at no cost, share expertise, write grants, and connect you to an expert.

Campbell Tops Valpo 17-3 at Brown Field
Related Links
Saturday, November 14, 2009
Valparaiso's defense gave up a season-low 17 points, but the offense could not find the end zone on Saturday afternoon as the Crusaders fell 17-3 to Campbell at Brown Field.
Andrzej Skiba's (Homewood, Ill./Homewood-Flossmoor H.S.) 20-yard field goal with 8:16 remaining in the game accounted for the Crusaders' lone points on the afternoon.
"We struggled to move the football again today," head coach Stacy Adams said. "Their offense was their best defense, limiting us to just 22 plays in the first half."
Campbell jumped on top on the game's opening possession, moving 82 yards in seven plays for a touchdown and C.J. Oates ran the ball in from four yards out.
Adam Willets added to the lead with 13:30 to play before halftime with a 20-yard field goal to make it 10-0 Fighting Camels.
Kyle Himmelwright (Coplay, Pa./Whitehall H.S.) returned the ensuing kickoff to the Campbell 49 and the Crusaders drove down to the 23 before an interception ended the scoring threat.
The visitors capitalized on the miscue, scoring on a two-yard run by Carl Smith to make it 17-0 Campbell at the break.
Valpo's defense stiffened in the second half, not allowing any more points on the scoreboard, but the Crusader offense could not find the end zone. The lone scoring drive saw Valpo march down to the one before being pushed back and having to settle for a field goal.
"I was really pleased with the way the defense played in the second half," Adams added. "They came out and pitched a shutout."
Campbell (3-7, 2-5 PFL) held Valpo to just 160 total yards on the afternoon, including just 65 through the air. The Fighting Camels tallied 450 yards of offense, including 282 on the ground.
Allante Simmons (Southfield, Mich./Southfield-Lathrup H.S.) led Valpo with 11 carries for 38 yards while Isaac Wildermuth (Sidney, Ohio/Upper Arlington H.S.) added eight carries for 37 yards. Nate Goergen (Golden, Colo./Golden H.S.) completed 9-of-17 passes for 65 yards, four going to Simmons.
Daniel Polk rushed for 105 yards for Campbell while completing 10-of-17 passes for 168 yards.
Defensively, JaVon Welch (Grand Rapids, Mich./Ottawa Hills H.S.) led the Crusaders with 12 tackles while Eli Crawford (Bogart, Ga./North Oconee H.S.) and Anthony Curry (Merrillville, Ind./Merrillville H.S.) each had an interception.
Valparaiso (1-9, 0-7) will wrap up the 2009 season next Saturday on Senior Day, hosting Morehead State. Kickoff is slated for noon.
Game Notes: The all-time series is tied 1-1 … Curry now has three interceptions in the last two games … Crawford's pick was his team-leading fourth of the season … fifth-year senior Zac Griffin (Apple Valley, Calif./Granite Hills H.S.) registered his first sack of the season … Skiba is a perfect 3-for-3 in his career in field goal tries.

Success is a team effort
I would like to thank The News-Enterprise for the recent editorial reference my role with the CORE Committee and the Kentucky Commission on Military Affairs. However, whatever success I had is due, in large part, to several visionary leaders in the community. There were five individuals who, early on, had the understanding and foresight to set in motion the activities and organization necessary to secure the future of Fort Knox. They are Joe Prather, Bill Swope, Steve Montgomery, and Mayors Seuss Pritchard and Jennings Smith (both now deceased).

I bought the T-shirt for everyday/casual wear, but only after wearing it twice it completely lost it's shape. It's a very soft shirt and comfortable. I still wear it, but it shrunk up length wise, but stayed bigger than I hoped for. Good shirt, just will buy a smaller size than normal next time!

When you think of consumer-facing e-commerce, you probably think of Amazon.com Inc., the dominant player in online business-to-consumer retail. But Amazon and other major B2C e-commerce companies have their eyes on the B2B market as well, and they're moving in fast. Case in point: the Google Shopping for Suppliers beta site carries a wide range of electronics, mechanical and testing/measurement products. Similarly, AmazonSupply.com stocks a wide selection of business products with 750,000 SKUs in 14 categories. The bottom line is that B2B distributors will soon be facing some very serious competition from these e-commerce leaders. In fact, Amazon is positioned to be a "game changer" in the B2B market, according to Dr. Jim Tomkins, CEO of Tomkins International, a supply chain consulting firm.
What does Amazon know about succeeding in B2B? Basically, B2B buyers increasingly want the same shopping experience they have as consumers on B2C e-commerce sites. The same people who buy shoes online are also buying supplies for their companies, and they demand the availability, convenience and service available on consumer sites, Tomkins said during a recent Tomkins International webinar, "Competing with the Big Dogs: Standing Up to Google and Amazon."
In 2013, B2B was already twice the size of the B2C market – $570 billion vs $270 for consumer sales, according to the Forrester Research Inc. report "Key Trends in B2B Ecommerce for 2013." Another survey by the technology consulting firm Acquity Group found that 57% of business buyers have bought goods for their organizations online, and 37% expect to spend more of their procurement budgets online next year. That survey, the "2013 State of B2B Procurement Study," also found that 71% of all respondents said they'd be more likely to order online or buy more than they would if it were easier and more convenient to browse and buy goods online.
Below are five key B2C lessons distributors should learn to succeed in delivering the consumer-like experience its customers expect and are already receiving from competitors.
As Amazon, Google and other big players continue to move into B2B markets, distributors and other B2B companies must learn to adapt quickly and use software that has these advanced e-commerce site capabilities if they expect to stay competitive in this increasingly sophisticated e-commerce environment. In the end, the sellers that make purchasing the easiest will win.
