In The Star
July 29, 1938, in The Star: Representing the local painters' union, Jesse Boyd and H. S. Kircus appeared before the Anniston City Council last night and made a complaint about local school teachers being employed this summer to do painting at the high school. The men said painters average only six months employment in good building times and that they felt it was unjust for teachers, who get nine months of employment, to be used during the summer as painters. The men said they had taken up the matter with the school superintendent but with no relief; the matter was referred to the council's school committee. Also this date: Jacksonville officials have sent on to the post office department a list of potential sites for a new post office building together with a list of the prices the properties' owners want for them. The selection will be up to the post office authorities in Washington.
July 29, 1988, in The Star: Funeral services will be tomorrow afternoon at Jacksonville First Baptist Church for Theodore Fox, 75, who was recently elected to a sixth term on the Jacksonville City Council. Fox died yesterday, having been taken to the hospital the previous morning due to heart trouble. Calhoun County Commission Chairman James A. "Pappy" Dunn remembered Fox as the embodiment of the civic leader who speaks softly but gets things done, while Mayor John B. Nisbet praised his colleague as one who looked beyond the individual to see the bigger picture. Also this date: The 16-month struggle over the $10.9 million estate of Anniston real estate businessman Willie C. Lloyd ended yesterday afternoon as attorneys for the heirs settled their disputes out of court. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed by lawyers for either the daughter contesting the will or Lloyd's two sisters and his female companion of more than 20 years, who were defending it. "We've agreed to keep the details of the settlement confidential," said attorney Arthur Fite III. "All the issues have been resolved amicably between the parties." Lloyd's daughter, Jan Lloyd Rivers of Birmingham, had contested a Feb. 5, 1987, will made out 15 days before her father died at age 82. The will left her only $7,500, but split the bulk of the estate in thirds among Lloyd's sisters, Myrtle Lee Spraggins and Iva Nell Holman, and a woman who claims to be Lloyd's common-law wife and companion of more than 20 years, Mary Ann Brewer. Judge Harold Quattlebaum ruled yesterday that evidence presented to him showed that Lloyd did indeed have a common-law marriage with Ms. Brewer. Additionally: Escalating medical bills for Calhoun County Jail prisoners constitute "a severe problem" for the county's budget, says County Administrator Ken Joiner. Income from the liquor tax is supposed to handle those costs, but when costs exceed the $2,000-$2,500 that the tax generates, officials have to dip into the general fund to make up the difference.

Boeing 787 Pilot Report
CFM International has opened Paris with a shot across the bow of competitor Pratt & Whitney, claiming its Leap-1A engine has up to 3% lower specific fuel consumption (sfc) than the rival PW1100G geared turbofan on the A320NEO family.
"The Leap will go into revenue service on the A320NEO 1% better than the competition, based on testing to date," Chaker Sharour, executive vice president of CFM told the press here on Saturday.
"And it will retain that 1% better than the competition, which when you integrate over time adds up to another 1%," he says. "And on the A321, because of the longer legs and our better cruise sfc bucket, we get another 1%. So on the A321, 1 plus 1 equals 3."
CFM calculates the 3% better fuel burn on the A321NEO than the PW1100G is worth $2 million per aircraft net present value (NPV). In addition, Sharour says, the Leap's longer time on wing will translate into two fewer shops visits over the life of an engine, "for the bulk of another $2 million" in NPV.
The General Electric/Snecma joint venture calculates an NPV advantage of $4 million per aircraft on the A320NEO for the Leap-1A, up from the $3.5 million claimed at last year's Farnborough show.
Lower line maintenance costs for the fan case-mounted accessories make up the rest of the calculated advantage. "The line replaceable units do not see the temperatures" of the core-mounted accessories on the geared turbofan, he argues.
CFM's claims are based on the results of just-completed tests of the third eCore demonstrator — comprising the high-pressure compressor, combustor and high-pressure turbine of the Leap-1. The core completed 203 hr. of tests with "better component efficiencies than expected," Sharour says.
Composite fan-blade and low-pressure turbine tests have also produced "excellent results," he says. The first Leap-1A, meanwhile, is on schedule to begin ground tests "in the fall." CFM is aiming for a 15% sfc reduction over the CFM56-5B engine now powering the A320.
CFM is making much of the Leap's performance advantage versus the PW1100G. This is based on the incorporation of variable bleed valves (VBV), first introduced on the larger GE90 and GENx. These are eight doors that extend into the flow entering the compressor to divert debris into the bypass duct.

Lenovo solves half the Yoga equation with a clever hidden keyboard on the ThinkPad Yoga. If we could combine this with the higher-res screen and better looks of the consumer version, we'd have the ultimate hybrid.
The new Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ is a step up from previous entries in the line, at least in terms of specs.
Pricing not available
Though it feels well-built and has a handy kickstand, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet's poor performance makes it hard to justify even at its low cost.
Though it feels well-built and has a handy kickstand, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet's poor performance makes it hard to justify even the low cost.
New, less-expensive Yoga models drop the higher-res screens, but keep the 360-degree hinge.

mDNS Responder with Unicast runs on a server anywhere in a network and responds to mDNS queries across the network by performing a unicast DNS lookup and returning the result. Many networks use a .local top-level domain for their intranet. This has proven to be quite problematic as operating systems such as OS X have begun handling .local domains differently (in particular, prioritizing multicast DNS over conventional unicast DNS). Ideally, you'd have no problems moving away from a .local domain name, or simply not using one in the first place. That's not always possible, though. So with this tool, a lookup for "host.local" will be resolved via your existing unicast DNS servers, even if "host" does not have its own mDNS responder. Of course, the tool isn't limited to just .local domains, and can realistically work on any network where mDNS is in use.
foma is a compiler, programming language, and C library for constructing finite-state automata and transducers for various uses. It has specific support for many natural language processing applications such as producing morphological analyzers. Although NLP applications are probably the main use of foma, it is sufficiently generic to use for a large number of purposes. It comes with an xfst-compatible interface and regular expression language. The library contains efficient implementations of all classical automata/transducer algorithms: determinization, minimization, epsilon-removal, composition, and boolean operations. More advanced construction methods are also available: context restriction, quotients, first-order regular logic, transducers from replacement rules, etc.
Finesse is a numeric simulation for laser interferometers using the frequency domain and Hermite-Gauss modes. It is easy to use for students. For basic use, including graphical output, no commercial software is required. The implemented physics are well documented in a 180-page manual. Simple examples are provided. Finesse can be used to compute a great variety of interferometer signals for control systems, including longitudinal control, alignment control, and thermal compensation.
Enrollix manages enrollment of people to associations, communities, groups, classes, teams, magazines, and events like meetings, parties, etc. It collects detailed personal data of members and of their enrollments (with a possible fee), selects them according to any kind of filter, and produces a balance of the revenues which can be saved in a CSV (comma separated value) file. This file can be opened with a spreadsheet like Calc or Excel. It is possible to prepare different models of certificates (like a receipt or a certificate of membership) within the software and print them with the data of any member, with a possible progressive number (like a protocol) within it. It can print labels of addresses or lists of payments of the selected (filtered) members, and it's possible to save their postal addresses or all their personal data in a CSV file, or to copy their email addresses to the clipboard, to paste them into the recipient field of a new message. The personal data of each member may contain a picture, which is saved in a directory with the same name and path of the file in use. It is possible to export selected members from the file in use to another Enrollix file, or to import all the members from it. Each member and his or her enrollments are internally identified by a unique mark (a UID number).

Rant: Live Free and Die of Boredom
Is "economic freedom" just another word for nothing left to do?
The venerable Manhattan-based Forbes and the venerable San Francisco�based Pacific Research Institute have drummed up a "U.S. Economic Freedom Index," which rates the states according to dozens of variables, including taxation, legal exposure, and environmental regulations. The not-so-surprising outcome: New York is the least free state, and Kansas is top of the heap, ostensibly the best place to conduct business in this sweet land of liberty.
An invitation to an event promoting the index asked, "If you had to relocate your headquarters or start a new office, would you choose New York? Or would you consider Kansas?" Let me play Red State Socrates and respond: If you had to choose somewhere to live, would you really move to Jayhawk country if you could figure out any way, short of acting in porn, to stay in New York?
It's not a hypothetical concern for me. (Living in middle America, not the porn job.) Until a recent move to the Washington, D.C., area, I spent the last eight years where the land is plentiful, the houses cheap, and the taxes low--in other words, in a zone of relative economic freedom. From 1996 to 1998, I lived in Huntsville, Texas, a prison-and-college town (ain't they all) with a total population of about 30,000; from 1998 until last summer, I lived in small-town Ohio. My takeaway: Fewer tax and regulatory hassles and, most important, a tremendously lower cost of living are, in the end, probably not that important to people.
Living in Huntsville in particular taught me that the cost of living is far less important than the demand for living. In the mid-'90s, I looked at five-bedroom houses there priced at $100,000 that still weren't selling. If you can't move that much house at that low a price, there just isn't a lot of living going on. (As if to underscore the point, Huntsville is the site of the Lone Star State's death chamber.) Truth be told, there just wasn't that much to do, and not simply for the prisoners. Everything was a long drive away, the population was sparse, and so on. That's one reason it was cheap to live there. Much of the time, economic freedom's just another word for nothing else to do.
The simple fact is that many people--arguably most people, if population patterns are any indication--are ready, willing, and able to pay a steep premium to live in more densely populated places where things inevitably cost more money and take more time, where there are more regulations, higher taxes, bigger annoyances, you name it.
It's useful to think of any given area as making a deal with people who might live there: We'll throw off this much employment opportunity, this many diversions, this much action, at a given price --a figure that includes not only money but all the sorts of petty tyrannies that zoning and planning boards routinely generate. There are times and places where that deal isn't considered worth it. Witness the relative emptying of many American cities during the '60s, '70s, and '80s and the concurrent shift to the Sunbelt.
But even then, most people and businesses didn't hightail it to Kansas. Instead, they camped out near the old cities, sucking as much warmth out of the dying beasts as possible. Or they quickly turned the new low-cost utopias into versions of what they left behind. That's why Phoenix is the new Los Angeles, not the new Salina.
"Economic freedom"--or at least the range represented between Kansas and New York--is pretty far down the list of what drives decisions about location, whether for businesses or individuals. Yes, regulations are always and everywhere too high. New York would be better off if Albany's overlords taxed and spent less. Yet, most of us choose to live under the yoke of economic oppression. That's especially true in major cities, which typically have Third World�style kleptocracies in place to rip off the very people who keep the places flush in cash, commerce, and coolness.
But until I get an invite to the grand opening of the new Manhattan, Kansas, headquarters of Forbes and the Pacific Research Institute, I won't be thinking too much about their economic freedom index.�

Question by Ben Joven 1894 · Nov 09 '11 at 10:33 PM · almond-butter almonds trader-joes traderjoes hardgainer
Experimenting with making my own homemade protein bars. I've gained 10 lbs of lean muscle in 30 days as a result, but I'm wondering if anybody else is eating this kind of volume, or has an opinion of Omega-6 load.
Trying to offset this with about 1.5 g of omega-3 fish oil but I'm a little bit concerned with the long term effects.
BTW I'm never hungry since I've started trying to test out these protein bars...

10 lbs of lean muscle in 30 days as a result of eating a protein bar? Color me skeptical. You probably need to give the rest of your diet/activity more credit for those gains.
I've averaged 270 g of protein a day for the past three weeks. Including a ton of these protein bars, the protein bar is basically 1.5 tbs(tablespoons not tubs) of TJs Raw Crunchy Almond Butter, 1 tbs of Artisina Coconut butter, 1 tbs of flax, a few wild blueberries, 2 scoops gluten free whey protein (48 grams of protein), and a touch of pumpkin spice.
Gained 10 lbs staid at 8% bf.

Answer by FED at LiveCaveman.com 19723 · Nov 10 '11 at 01:12 AM
I'm hoping that the 1/2 jar of raw almond butter is going into an entire batch of protein bars!
If you were eating 1oz of almonds per bar, you would be taking in a total of 14gms of fat, 1.1 of which is saturated Fat, 3.4 polyunsaturated, and 8.7 monounsaturated.
You'd have to double your fish oil intake to "balance" the PUFA in the almonds.
I would also recommend that you soak/sprout/dry/grind your own raw almonds to neutralize some of the phytates that interfere with mineral absorbtion (1,280 mg/100 gram almonds vs 933 mg/100 gram peanuts).
Use filtered water and add in some sea salt and an acid like lemon juice to make the soaking solution. Let the almonds soak at least 12 hours in a warm area (the top of the fridge usually works). Dry them at a low heat (put them on wax paper on a baking sheet, turn your oven as low as possible, crack the oven door, and let them dry) before grinding in a food processor or blender (I'm thinking of something like the Vitamix).

It is a lot of PUFAs. Can you up they whey in the bars per tbsp almond butter? Or eat less of the bars and more meat?
Answer by Priscilla 2473 · Nov 10 '11 at 01:33 AM
Are these protein bars similar to the ones on MDA? http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-energy-bar-redux/ If so, they're going to contain a decent amount of polyunsaturated fat. Heck, they're going to just contain a lot of fat in general, between the nuts, nut butter, and coconut oil. If you want to keep eating this amount of nuts, I'd suggest making hazelnut butter (lower in pufas) instead of almond butter and using macadamias. Raw almonds are great, but getting them is tricky and expensive. I haven't been able to get my hands on them, so I try to limit my consumption of almond products (although, I have definitely downed 1/2 jar of TJ's crunchy almond butter in a sitting before!)
Answer by Bill1102inf 7821 · Nov 10 '11 at 03:29 AM
5.5TBS of Almond butter will give you about 20 grams total max of protein not 100. It would take about 25 Tablespoons to get 100 grams of protein out of almond butter. I wouldn't suggest actually doing that....

I thought we couldn't have dairy products. Whey protein is allowed? I also someone who is eating cheese and using full-fat cream. Allowed or not allowed? Personally, I think I have a bit of gi trouble with dairy and would probably cut it altogether when I start the Paleo diet next week, or at least severely restrict my consumption.

VA contract moves 600,000 email users to the cloud
Tuesday - 11/13/2012, 12:30pm EST
The Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a five-year, $36 million contract to HP Enterprise Services to move 600,000 VA users to the cloud for email and calendar use.
VA awarded the contract under its multibillion dollar information technology contract called Transformation 21 Total Technology (T4).
HP will lead and manage the implementation of Microsoft Office 365 for Government.
"Moving to the cloud enables VA to fulfill the Cloud First federal mandate while anticipating improved employee productivity and collaboration and reduced costs," according to an HP release.
Other agencies have also selected Office 365 for cloud email. The Environmental Protection Agency selected it to move 25,000 of its employees to the cloud, as did the FAA to migrate 60,000 employees.

The more money coaches make, the quicker the pressure on them rises. Every year a few more head coaches and assistants break the bank. And every year a few more coaches feel their seats begin to warm.
Take Kentucky's Joker Phillips, for example. (I was tempted to pull a Henny Youngman right there.) UK's head football coach is entering just his second season as the Top Cat in 2011. But still, Alex Scutchfield of the Kentucky-centric blog ASeaOfBlue.com writes that this season is of maximum importance for Phillips:
"Unlike his predecessor and mentor Rich Brooks, Phillips cannot weather the storm of a couple of losing seasons. Expectations (that he helped create as an offensive coach and recruiter) are simply too high. Yet Joker will start the season with offensive skills position and defensive linemen playing key roles who would have likely not seen the field at any point in the last five years at Kentucky. A winning record will require a very good coaching job, much like the virtual masterpiece Brooks coaxed out in 2009. The Cats will need to play 60 minutes of football each week, make up for weaknesses by winning turnover margin battles, and find two or three surprise contributors.
Phillips knows this, and if it keeps him up nights, well, it probably should. It's his time."
Phillips is a Kentucky native and a graduate. He played football at UK. As offensive coordinator he oversaw some of the most productive seasons in UK history (not involving hotshot Tim Couch or rule-bending Hal Mumme). Phillips is tried and true Big Blue.
But he'd better darn sure win in Year Two.
Ya think we all might be getting just a little too caught up in the "win big every year" thing? Then again, as long as coaches keep pushing for more money, the more they're asking for out of whack expectations.

New Providence
Red Ribbon Week Kicks Off in New Providence

"We picked up two wins, so that was a good thing. There's a pretty good chance we will make the playoffs now," Sparks girls soccer coach Jerry Miller said.
Sparks opened Friday morning's action with a 2-1 victory over Fernley, despite losing a player due to a red card and starting goalkeeper Val Guerrero to a hand injury after being kicked. Andrea Gumina scored both goals for the Railroaders on assists by sisters Maria and Maribel Sanchez.
While the morning game went well for the Railroaders, Miller said the team came out flat in a 3-0 loss to Fallon in the afternoon match-up after all the craziness of the first game.
But Sparks rebounded the next morning when it returned to Fernley and took care of Dayton, 2-1, with backup goalkeeper Teresita Espana.
Gumina opened the scoring for the Maroon and Gold in the 13th minute. The Dust Devils drilled home the equalizer in the second half and the game was tied until the final minute when Gumina launched a free kick from 25 yards out toward the goal and Norma Robles headed it in for her first career goal and the game-winner.
"We have moments when we play well," Miller said. "It kind of depends on the level of competition. We play the Fernleys and the Fallons and Dayton pretty even. When we play Truckee and South Tahoe, everyone gets beat by them. When we play someone on our level, we play pretty well."
Sparks (2-5-3, 2-4-1 in Northern Division I-A) will take to the road on Thursday and face South Tahoe at 4 p.m.

Reading FunIs learning to read easy? That depends on a number of factors that certainly include access to age-appropriate materials and read-aloud experiences at an early age. Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, was a medieval emperor and soldier who did not learn to read until he was almost 40 years old. Little is known about his childhood, but it is probable that he did not have age appropriate reading materials. He did have a desire to read and an appreciation of language, which is documented by his court biographer, Einhard.
The Wauwatosa Public Library summer reading program for children seeks to instill an appreciation of language, the desire to read, and a love of books in children. The first step for parents and adults who work with children is to make an association between reading and pleasure. Sitting in a parent's lap and listening to a picture book is pleasurable. Going to story time at the library to hear stories and participate in related activities is fun. Receiving prizes for a completed summer reading card is gratifying. Summer program schedules are available in the Children's Library beginning May 1, 2009.
The Grand Reading Card 2009 expands on the idea of associating reading with pleasure. The children may choose seven ways of enjoying a book or the library for additional prizes. The 29 suggestions on the card range from applying for one's own library card to reading a book in the park. The Grand Reading Card 2009 will be available June 1st.
Nadia Wheatley expresses the joy of reading well in her picture book, The Greatest Treasure of Charlemagne the King. In her book, Alcuin of York, the scholar who helped Charlemagne establish his court school, explains why it is worth the effort to learn to read. "If you learn to read and love books, I can promise that you will never again be bored or lonely."

Memorial DayMemorial Day, also called Decoration Day, is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday in May. It honors U.S. men and women who died while in military service. It was first enacted to honor soldiers of the American Civil War and was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action.
After the Civil War, many communities designated a day to honor the memory of their soldiers killed in battle. Waterloo, New York, first observed the holiday on May 5, 1866 and in 1966, the government officially proclaimed Waterloo, New York, the birthplace of the holiday. In 1868, Major General John A. Logan, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, a veterans' organization, issued a proclamation that Decoration Day be observed nationwide on May 30th each year. The name, Memorial Day, was first used in 1882 and was declared the official name of the holiday in 1967.
On June 28, 1968, the government passed the Uniform Holidays Bill which moved three holidays, Presidents' Day, Veterans Day and Memorial Day, from their traditional dates to a specified Monday in order to create a three-day weekend. In 1971, the Memorial Day holiday was officially moved to the last Monday in May.
On Memorial Day, many people observe the holiday by visiting cemeteries and memorials and placing American flags and flowers on military gravesites. Communities hold memorial observances and parades. Plan to attend Wauwatosa's Annual Memorial Day Observance Monday, May 25th at 10:00 at Longfellow Middle School. The program will include the Presentation of Colors, the Pledge of Allegiance, Invocation, Celebration of Sacrifice, Playing of Taps and musical selections performed by the Wauwatosa Community Band.
Lest We Forget
The Wauwatosa Library has a very special book entitled, Lest We Forget, honoring Wauwatosa soldiers who lost their lives in the two World Wars. It was compiled by the Gold Star Mothers of Wauwatosa in 1957. The introduction to the book describes its purpose so beautifully.
"Here, in Memoriam for this and future generations, are recorded...the names of those who gave their lives that we might live without fear and tyranny, in a nation and a city dedicated to the freedom and dignity of man. Each page is a monument to one who was a resident of this community. Through their sacrifices these protectors of our freedom have established an imperishable bond between themselves, their fellow citizens and future generations. Their place in history will not be forgotten."
In this book you find an 8 x 10 photograph and a service biography of each soldier killed, from Jack Roger Allen and his brother, Roy Helmann Allen to Herbert Frederick Zobel. As one turns the pages of this book, the reader is bound to feel a sense of sadness and profound appreciation.

Economic policy is always torn between helping the broader social interest – lots of ordinary people – and favoring particular special interests. Unfortunately, special interests typically win out in the kind of situation we have in America in 2012, when it's all about spending money to win friends and influence people.
Today's Economist
Perspectives from expert contributors.
The most effective way to push back against powerful special interests is to have the same rules for everyone – and to enforce those rules fairly, even when they are broken by the richest and most politically connected people in the land. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman of New York took a major step toward restoring the rule of law this week, by bringing a case against JPMorgan Chase. But it will be an uphill battle; the forces against him are incredibly strong, including some within the Obama administration.
Special interests always want to take over and organize society for their own benefit. In the terminology of economics, there are always some "rents" to be had – meaning some form of extra compensation that you get from tilting the playing field in your favor. Powerful people are always "rent-seeking," another way of saying that they would like to feather their own nests. And such activities impose costs on society, lowering incomes and limiting opportunities for everyone else.

Report: Todd Haley happy with Steelers, no interview coming with Cardinals
One of those men was Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
Haley, who was the Cardinals' offensive coordinator in 2007 and 2008 before leaving for the top job in Kansas City, has been with the Steelers for one season and always appeared to have an affinity for the Arizona organization.
But according to a report by NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, he's not all too interested in being the team's head coach.
#Cardinals requested interview with Todd Haley. Source close to Haley: "He loves Steelers job. He's very happy. No interview with Cards."— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 9, 2013
Well so much for that idea, then?
Haley was always an interesting option for Arizona, as he is recognized as being a good coach whose style tends to wear on players over time. He led the Chiefs to the postseason in his second season at the helm, but was relieved of his duties 13 games into the following year.
If Haley is indeed out of the mix, that leaves the Cardinals looking at current defensive coordinator Ray Horton, Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden.
There could be other candidates, but those are the ones confirmed to have either interviewed with the team or scheduled to interview with the team.
