USDA to Boost Rural Electric Grid Efficiency and Reliability in 8 States
May 22, 2013
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on April 29 announced funding for four rural electric projects in eight states—Colorado, Georgia, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Wyoming. The announcement touts more than $126 million in loans to upgrade rural electric infrastructure, including more than $20 million in Smart Grid funding, used to increase access to information to better manage electricity use. Since 2011, USDA has supported Smart Grid investments totaling nearly $500 million.
One of the rural electric cooperatives that will receive funding is Colorado's Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc., which serves 44 consumer-owned distribution cooperatives in Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Wyoming. It is receiving a $73 million loan to upgrade generation and transmission facilities, improve 50 miles of transmission lines, and build a substation. The loan amount includes more than $18 million for Smart Grid projects. See the USDA press release.

text: The heart of VMI's student government is the honor system. Although honor, like many idealistic concepts, defies exact definition, it clearly refers to relationships which govern society and which yield to the members of that society immediate and tangible benefits. The honor system at VMI is not so much a set of rules—although rules are published and distributed to every cadet—as it is a way of living. Lying, cheating, stealing, or tolerating those who do are considered violations of the Honor Code. A cadet's statement in any controversy is accepted without question as truthful; examinations are not proctored; the word "certified" on a paper means that the work is the cadet's own and that the cadet has neither given nor received help.The Corps as a whole has always been the guardian of its own honor, and its honor is its most cherished possession. To administer the system, the Corps elects an Honor Court. Any suspected violation is reported to this Honor Court, which conducts an investigation of the circumstances. An accused cadet may admit guilt and leave the Institute or may request trial. If found guilty, the cadet is dishonorably dismissed. If the accused is acquitted, the case is closed, and all records pertaining to the case are destroyed.

4 Well worth seeingpipbee | 13/03/2012 | See all pipbee's reviews (7)Having thoroughly enjoyed reading Kathryn Stockett's brilliant book, I was keen to see how a film maker would convey this story of segregation in America during the 60s, and all in all, Tate Taylor has done a good job. I think the film lacks some of the impact and tension of the book; corners have had to be cut, but generally speaking the film remains faithful to the story line. Excellent performances from all the cast and visually it hits all the right notes. If you've read the book you may have some slight dissapointments, but this is still well worth seeing. If you haven't read the book, seeing the film first should in no way spoil your future enjoyment if you then go on to read the book as I would recommend. Nice to see the director explain his opinions and reasons for the two deleted scenes which are included on the disc. I think this film will be enjoyed by most people and hopefully provide some food for thought at the same time.
5 *****Powerful, Moving, thorougly entertaining*****Jade007 | 16/03/2012 | See all Jade007's reviews (2)I went to see this film with no knowledge of the book or it's author, I was so impressed with the powerful performances and moving scenes. The emotions are raw and you feel bruised by the intensity,Your left with your heart wounded and you can't help being touched right to your core...You laugh and cry with the characters you become attached to in the story, and they stay with you like family and friends in your heart...The film deserved it Oscar nomination, you must see especially with all the women you know...it brings all us sisters together no matter who you are! (and even some of the brothers too!)From the other review if the book is better I can't wait to read it...

Double aortic arch is an abnormal formation of the aorta, the large artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. It is a congenital problem, which means that it is present at birth.
Aortic arch anomaly; Double arch
Double aortic arch is a common form of a group of defects that affect the development of the aorta in the womb. These defects cause an abnormal formation called a vascular ring -- a circle of blood vessels.
Normally, the aorta develops from one of several curved pieces of tissue (arches). As babies develop in the womb, the arches split into several parts. The body breaks down some of the arches, while others form into arteries. A normally developed aorta is a single arch that leaves the heart and moves leftward.
In double aortic arch, some of the arches that should have changed into arteries or disappeared are still present at birth. Babies with a double aortic arch have an aorta that is made up of two vessels instead of one. The two parts to the aorta have smaller arteries branching off of them. As a result, the two branches go around and press down on the windpipe and the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach (esophagus).
A double aortic arch may occur in other congenital heart defects, including:
Double aortic arch is very rare. Vascular rings make up a small percentage of all congenital heart problems. Of these, a little more than half are caused by double aortic arch. The condition occurs equally in males and females.
Because symptoms of double aortic arch are often mild, the problem may not be discovered until the child is a few years old.
The double aortic arch may press on the windpipe (trachea) and esophagus, leading to trouble breathing and swallowing. The severity of the symptoms depends on how much the aortic arch is pressing on these structures.
Breathing symptoms include:
Digestive symptoms may include:
The symptoms may lead a doctor to suspect double aortic arch. Other tests will then be needed to diagnose this condition.
The following tests can help diagnose double aortic arch:
Surgery can be done to fix double aortic arch. The surgery separates off the smaller branch of the double aortic arch to relieve pressure on the esophagus and windpipe (trachea).
The surgeon ties off the smaller branch and separates it from the larger branch. Then the surgeon closes the ends of the aorta with stitches.
Surgery can treat double aortic arch. Most children feel better right after surgery, although some may continue to have breathing symptoms.
In rare cases, if the arch is pressing down very hard on the airway, the child can have severe breathing difficulty that leads to death.
Call your health care provider if your infant has symptoms of double aortic arch.
There is no known way to prevent this condition.

Many people with multiple sclerosis (MS) have heat and temperature sensitivity. Hot weather, running a fever, strenuous exercise or taking a hot bath or shower can cause a temporary worsening of symptoms. The last thing you probably want to do the mercury rises this summer is turn on your stove or stand over a hot burner. Fortunately, many healthy meals can be made quickly without ever cranking up the heat in the kitchen.
Each week for the next four weeks, I will share a new no-cook recipe; each with in a healthy, low fat diet. Each recipe will highlight one ingredient as a nutritional standout with an explanation for why these foods should be included in your diet. They all make about 4 servings, but can be adjusted up or down as needed, and are ready in 20 minutes or less.
This summer, don't let the heat be an excuse for skipping a healthy meal and going to the drive through. Instead, enjoy the air conditioning at the grocery store and pick up supplies for one of these healthy meals.

Gift of gloves
By Samantha Carr
First Cal Ripken broke Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig's "unbreakable" record of consecutive games played. Now, Derek Jeter has passed him for the lead on the all-time Yankees hit list.
It only seems fitting that Gehrig's records have been broken by players who are respected for their character almost as much as he was.
Gehrig's hit record lasted seven decades despite having his career cut short because of a battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a disease that would claim his life and later bear his name. Gehrig retired at age 35 in 1939.
"Lou Gehrig, being a former captain and what he stood for, you mention his name to any baseball fan around the country, it means a lot," Jeter said. "I think passing him makes it stand out that much more."
Jeter donated his batting gloves from the historic game on Sept. 11 – when he recorded his 2,722nd hit as a Yankee – to the Baseball Hall of Fame, and they are currently being accessioned into the Museum. The Yankees captain has four World Series rings, 10 All-Star Game selections and three Gold Gloves during his 15 seasons in the Bronx.
He has six seasons of 200-plus hits and ranks 49th on the all-time hit list. At age 35 and healthy, Jeter has a good chance to add to that number and continue making history. He currently sits No. 1 in franchise history in at-bats (8,593), second in stolen bases (300), third in games played (2,136), fourth in runs scored (1,574) and doubles (438) and fifth in career batting average (.317).
Of the 30 major league teams, over half have Hall of Famers for their all-time hits leader. The list includes players like Ty Cobb, Hank Aaron and Stan Musial.
Gehrig may no longer top the Yankees list, but his legacy in pinstripes will not soon be forgotten. The Baseball Hall of Fame will honor Gehrig, Roberto Clemente and Jackie Robinson during Character and Courage Weekend Oct. 10-12 in Cooperstown.
Samantha Carr is the media relations coordinator at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

The rest of its specification is pretty impressive too - a 1.2 million dot 3.0" LCD (VGA resolution but using Sony's WhiteMagic technology to offer greater brightness or improved battery life), and 1080p60 video capture or 1080i with the ability to shoot a 17MP stills without interrupting movie recording. The camera can even boast a respectable 330 shots from a charge, according to CIPA tests.
Despite the availability of comparatively small, large-sensor mirrorless cameras (at increasingly low prices), the enthusiasts' compact boom has continued. Most of the big names in the industry now offer models to appeal to people comfortable with a a DSLR but wanting something easier to carry around. The RX100, Sony's first venture into this market since 2004 (with the DSC-V3) is something rather more serious.
Key Features:
- 1"-type Exmor CMOS sensor (13.2 x 8.8mm, 3:2 aspect ratio)
- 20.2 million effective pixels
- 28-100mm (equiv), f/1.8-4.9 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens
- Steady-Shot image stabilization
- ISO 125-6400 (ISO 80 and 100 expansion, up to 25,600 using multi-frame noise-reduction)
- Face Recognition and Face Registration (up to 8 faces)
- Rear control dial and customizable front control ring
- 10fps continuous shooting in 'Speed Priority' mode
- 3" 1.2M-dot 'WhiteMagic' LCD screen
- 13 Picture Effects (27 with variations)
- Memory Recall feature can store up to three groups of custom settings
- 1080p60 video, (AVCHD) with MP4 option (50p in PAL regions)
- Built-in stereo microphones
- 330-shot battery life (CIPA)
A small camera with a big sensor
A 1"-type sensor is twice as large as the sensor in the Fujifilm X10 and 2.7 times larger than most of the rest of the class. The only comparable camera to offer a sensor larger is the Canon G1 X, which offers impressive image quality but with the payoff being bulkier styling and the larger dimensions demanded by its near-DSLR-sized sensor. Sony says the 'R' in the camera's name is intended to evoke its original high-grade fixed-lens camera, the DSC-R1, though the only similarities between the two are the ability to capture Raw image data and the ambition of their designs.
In general you can divide the enthusiasts' compact sector by body style, with the Canon S100 exemplifying the conventional compact style and the G12 representing the more bulky, dial-encrusted choices with tunnel-style optical viewfinder. Sony has chosen to go down the compact route and opted for a lens that slows considerably as you zoom in, rather than the bright zooms offered by the Olympus XZ-1, Panasonic LX7 and Fujifilm X10. This is the same balance Canon has chosen with its popular S100, but of course that doesn't have a sensor anywhere near as large as the RX100's.
Despite the large sensor, the RX100 is still pocketable. It's not the smallest compact camera on the market, but it'll fit in breast pocket of a jacket, making it a genuine carry-around second camera for DSLR owners. In principle, at least, the RX100 shouldn't present the same image-quality compromise that switching across to one of the existing compact cameras would.
Shooting for the enthusiasts
The RX100's user interface makes very clear that Sony has concentrated on making a camera that enthusiasts will be happy with. The difference between this and the beginner-focused interfaces on the Nikon 1 models (and the Sony NEX cameras when they were first launched) couldn't be more stark. The RX100 doesn't go overboard with manual controls but the now commonplace lens-encircling control dial is key to its usability. Add to this a customizable function menu - allowing you to specify which settings you want quick access to, and in which order - and you have a very controllable compact. The way Sony has done this is an extension of the options added to NEX cameras but is also reminiscent of the Ricoh control interface (still probably our favorite on a high-end compact).
And these differences from the entry-level mirrorless cameras are telling. Clearly Sony believes there is a photographically-savvy audience that wants a second camera without having to battle against a simplistic user interface or invest in a second lens system. It's pretty clear it also hopes that some existing compact owners will want something small and high quality, but will recognise themselves as part of the majority that buys interchangeable lens cameras but never takes the lens off. The RX100's $650/£550/€650 price tag may well work against this, though.
Isn't that a bit expensive?
To put this price in perspective, you have to really understand the sensor size and what it means for the camera's capabilities.
The sensor in the RX100 is the same 1" format that Nikon uses in its 1-System. It is considerably smaller than those used in most interchangeable lens cameras but it significantly larger than those used in most enthusiast compacts. |
A large sensor is one of the most significant factors in terms of providing good image quality. The larger area simply means that, compared to a smaller sensor camera, it will be exposed to more light during any exposure with the same settings (ISO, shutter speed and F-number). And more light means a better signal-to-noise ratio.
To do this, the table below shows it against its peers, showing the area of the sensor, the size of the camera and the effective aperture of the camera. This last figure gives an idea of how much control over depth-of-field the camera will offer, by relating the aperture ranges back to the 135 film standard.

I don't plan to hit Madison Avenue or buy any couture goods, but I'd love to find some hidden gems (read: cheaper deals) or cool locations. Last time I was there I went to a sample sale for Hable Construction. SO COOL! I bought some gorgeous upholstery remnants at like 90% off. That's the kind of stuff I'd love to find. Has anyone ever been to the Fabric District? I'm trying to decide if I have the guts to try it. Is it worth my time? Any other great suggestions?? (Like good food?) I would LOVE to hear them. Really! Really.
Maybe I'll bring something back for my favorite suggestion. :)

2 p.m. Slump
Take My Boy Band, I'll Show You the Wild Side
Über pop mash up comes across a little morbid
Youtube submitter 2Vegas apparently decided that it would be a good idea to merge British boy band One Direction's What Makes You Beautiful and sometimes-too-auto-tuned Ke$ha's Die Young into one song.
When listening to this terrible/wonderful remix, I can't help but picture the boys of One Direction, with their ridiculously huge smiles in an L.A. nightclub while Ke$ha drums neon paint and yells in their faces about death.
It kind of works for me … kind of.

The parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTH-RP) test measures the level of a hormone in the blood, called parathyroid hormone-related protein.
PTHrp; PTH-related peptide
A blood sample is needed.
No special preparation is necessary.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or slight bruising. This soon goes away.
This test is done to find out whether a high blood calcium level is caused by an increase in PTH-related protein.
No detectable (or minimal) PTH-like protein is normal.
Women who are breastfeeding may have detectable PTH-related protein values.
The examples above are common measurements for results for these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or may test different specimens. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Increased levels of PTH-related protein with high blood calcium level is usually caused by cancer.
PTH-related protein can be produced by many different kinds of cancers, including those of the lung, breast, head, neck, bladder, and ovaries, as well as leukemia and lymphoma. A high level of PTH-related protein is the cause of a high calcium level in about two-thirds of cancer patients. This condition is called humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM).
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Cant thank you enough for being there for me. Thanks!!! Jack S
Austin, TX |
Romance is in the air, and love bugs are a buzz. Valentine's Day has us wondering, who is the fairest of them all? So we turn to Pinterest to evaluate, "WHO IS THE MOST LOVED BUG?". Based on number of pins here are the 2015 Valentine Rankings:
They're creepy!
They're crawly!
They slink into our homes and kitchens looking for an easy meal.
While the above video is good for a quick laugh, it also illustrates an important issue… The cockroaches that are invading our homes are eating our food!
The truth is these creepy crawly roaches will eat just about anything; from, cat food to glue, to blood, and everything in between. While roaches chow down on a wide variety of foods, they love sweets!
Roaches love donuts!
Not only do they love to eat your favorite donuts right from under you; they love them so much that they'll spit the donut back up, and then eat it once again. Disgusting!
If you are tired of sharing your food with cockroaches, it's times to give Bulwark Exterminating a call! Bulwark's guaranteed roach control solution will send those roaches packing, so you can keep your donuts all to yourself.

Go ahead and take a blacklight, and explore the bushes and foundation of your home. If you see anything moving that glows in the dark, then you have scorpions!
Usually, Valley residents don't begin to see scorpions until early April. With the uncommonly warm winter, many have seen them as early as February!
Take a few extra precautions this year; like shaking out your shoes and clothing before putting them on, and sealing up entry points to your home. Remember, scorpions can squeeze through a crack as small as the thickness of a credit card.
After taking a few precautions, protect yourself and your family by getting professional scorpion control!

Some 15,000 plus spectators came out in full force to enjoy the sunny day, eat some good food, and of course check out the dozens of planes on display; both current and historic aircraft. Among all the planes, people, and fun were scorpions… Tanks of scorpions!
Bulwark Exterminating was on hand with a couple specialized scorpion trucks, a few scorpion experts to answer questions, and several tanks of scorpions on display for everyone to admire.
The scorpion professionals at Bulwark Exterminating were excited to be at Aviation Day this year, to not only answer questions about scorpions, but to inform attendees about the problems and dangers scorpions pose to Valley residents.
Scorpions are responsible for thousands of stings every year here in Arizona, and from March through late October, many valley homeowners get infested with these malevolent pests.

Spectators at Aviation day could also check out Bulwark's highly specialized scorpion trucks, and try their hand at a bean bag toss game to win a scorpion black light, scorpion traps, or even a free service.
A great time was had by all!
After having the chance to talk to some 15,000 Valley residents, it was evident just how much intrigue and just how much concern there is out there about scorpions. If you are seeing scorpions in or around your home or property in Arizona, contact a Bulwark Scorpion Control professional today; and stop seeing scorpions!

Lovebugs and Kissing Bugs… These two bugs have names synonymous with Valentines Day. Despite their romantic names, they can also be a nuisance, and even pose a threat to your health or your property. Here's what you need to know about our two Valentines Day Bugs; the Lovebug and the Kissing bug.
The name lovebug garners emotions of romantic adoration… Emotions synonymous with Valentines Day. Heck, some of us even use the term lovebug as a term of endearment for our significant others. The truth is there really isn't a lot to love about these nuisance flying pests; at least not when they're swarming. Two times every year, in early spring and late summer, lovebugs (Plecia nearctica) take flight in the millions. In some areas of the United States, swarms of lovebugs may even look like dark clouds. Lovebugs become nuisance insects when they swarm along the interstates and highways. Motorists may experience hundreds, if not thousands, of these bugs smashed on their car's windshields, hoods, and radiator grills. After a short amount of times, these smashed lovebugs will dry onto a car and be very difficult to remove. In fact, lovebugs are actually very acidic; a trait that keeps them from being eaten by predators. The acid of the dead lovebugs on a car will actually result in pits and etchings in the car's paint and chrome. In addition to ruining you car's paint, they can also clog your radiator and engine. In addition to swarming on interstates and highways, lovebugs have been known to swarm in and around your home and property in more rural areas. As they're looking to mate, lovebugs can stumble inside you home by the hundreds. Lovebugs get their name because they spend the majority of it's life mating and copulating with it's mate.
When I refer to a kissing bug, I'm not referring to some "bug" or illness you catch from kissing; so kiss away this Valentines Day! I'm referring to an insect that gives you kisses while you sleep at night… And not the type of kisses you want. Kissing bugs have a propensity to bite the faces and lips of unsuspecting humans as we sleep. These bites can cause welts, irritation, and even allergic reactions in more sever cases. The purpose of this blood meal, is that it is completely essential for male kissing bugs to reproduce and for the female kissing bug to lay eggs. Kissing Bugs (Triatominae) are also called conenose bugs, triamines, and assassin bugs. These bugs hide out together during the day, and search for blood at night. They rely on heat and odors to find their blood meals. We are most susceptible to these bug bites when we sleep. They are drawn to our houses by the lights at night.
This Valentines Day, skip the same ole same ole. Drop the flowers that die a few days later, ditch the chocolates, and give a gift that keeps on giving… Year round! I'm talking about pest control. Give your significant other the piece of mind that he or she will be pest free; and not have to worry about kissing bugs in bed, lovebugs swarming inside, or any other type of pest that may make life miserable!

Webgame Wednesday: Adventure Time's Ninja Castle
What if they held a 48-hour video game programming contest dedicated entirely to Cartoon Network's awesome series "Adventure Time"? Good news! They did! The Adventure Time Game Jam just wrapped up, resulting in dozens of Finn-and-Jake-centric games. As is typical for this kind of thing, most of the games are short and rather unpolished. But there are a few gems mixed in there. A lot of the games require downloads, but there are a handful of Flash-based titles. Among the standouts is Ninja Castle. In this clever puzzle game, Finn and Jake must navigate the castle of the Ninja King and beat him up. You move the heroes by clicking on adjacent rooms. The objective is to maneuver them so they both reach the Ninja King at the same time. The mechanics take a moment or two to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's a colorful little mindbender.

POSTED: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 - 12:45pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 - 12:49pm
CNN — During a more than two-hour meeting at the White House on Monday, Vice President Joe Biden asked leaders from across the faith community to keep up pressure on lawmakers to support compromise background check legislation even as Congress begins to shift its focus to immigration reform, according to several attendees who spoke to CNN.
Biden urged the roughly 20 faith leaders in attendance not to be discouraged by recent legislative failures, and instead assured them that the White House had not given up.
"Even though he suffered a defeat, he didn't sound defeated," said pastor Michael McBride of the PICO National Network. "And we need that kind of hope from the bully pulpit of the White House."
In the run-up to last month's Senate vote, religious organizations from across the denominational spectrum pressured members of Congress to vote for background check legislation. Without mentioning the names of any lawmakers, Biden acknowledged the effectiveness of such lobbying efforts and asked those in attendance to continue to target those whose opinions can be swayed.
"We worked on thanking some of the people for whom we knew this was a hard vote and to encourage local churches and synagogues to speak out in the states and districts of those senators and representatives who seem to be either undecided or willing to revisit this issue with an open mind," said Rabbi David Saperstein of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism.
Specifically, the attendees discussed how some senators who voted for the compromise legislation have seen their approval ratings rise, while some who voted against it have seen a backlash from their constituents.
"There was a sense among some lawmakers that they've gotten a very strong sense of disapprobation that they didn't expect," said Rabbi Julie Schonfeld, executive vice president of the Rabbinical Assembly.
And while Biden wouldn't share specifics, "it's clear they're working on the details of what they're going to do" next, Saperstein said.
The meeting represented a broad cross-section of denominational and ideological views, and several present at the meeting said that everyone was given ample time to air their concerns. According to one person at the meeting, the vice president even engaged in a back-and-forth with prominent leaders of the evangelical Christian community in an effort to assuage concerns about the "intent and spirit" of any gun legislation.
According to the accounts of several attendees, Biden personally assured everyone present that the legislation under consideration wasn't intended to confiscate guns or create a national gun registry.
Evangelicals in attendance included Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association; Barrett Duke, vice president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission; and Richard Cizik, founder of The New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good.
"It was a really diverse group, and the vast majority of the people who supported Manchin-Toomey came out absolutely energized, and I think others came out saying, 'I'm going to give this a close look,' " said Vincent DeMarco of Faiths United Against Gun Violence.
He was referring to the failed background check legislation proposed by Sens. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, and Pat Toomey, a Pennsylvania Republican. The compromise legislation would have expanded background checks to include private sales at gun shows and all Internet sales, while continuing to exempt most sales between family members and friends.

Why would you pay attention to facts?
That's one thing about us blues fans... absolutely no honest negative observations will be tolerated. Even when the players and coaching themselves admit to problems...we better not talk about them.
It was fine to rip Brewer and bash him for being a poor leader when the team quit on Kitch and Murray....but 'how dare you question Backes' leadership when the squad lays down this time.
I'm not even talking W's and L's....I'm talking effort level. This team has been flat more often then not over the last 12 or so games and that constitutes 25% of the season this year. Like it or not....it's an issue.
I agree with you about 'accountability on the board'... people should forget whose name is on the back of their jerseys and worry a lot more about the name on the front of it.
The fact is this is a very - very talented team that showed through an entire season last year and the first 3-4 week of this year that they can play with anyone. That team has not been seen in quite some time. It's only reasonable...er.... responsible to look for answers.
