Offshore Wind Moving Closer to Providing Renewable Energy to the East Coast
Posted On January 25, 2013 by Anna Zivian
2013 may be a very windy year. All along the Atlantic Coast, offshore renewable power has been getting a boost. In states from North Carolina to Maine, growing support for wind energy has led to practical steps that will get this industry moving.

Ouch, and all of those are Hasbro's fault, unlike Batman (thanks Mattel and Christopher "let's ruin the franchise with a dumb 3rd movie" Nolan). I'm not sick of Vader yet actually, just sick of mediocre versions of him - I liked the new ANH figure enough to buy a second.
In 2012, don't you think maybe there were just a tad too many TF Prime Bumblebees on shelves compared to, say, everyone else? And nobody even likes that version of the character or the mold that much!

Contraceptive @ 45
I turned 45 this year. I asked my OB for tubal ligation but she said that at my age, it is no longer appropriate. Instead, she gave me oral contraceptives. I don't feel any side effects at all but, I don't like the idea of taking pill everyday.
My husband is 4 yrs younger than me, and my youngest daughter is 6.
I don't want to be pregnant again, any suggestions please?

Hi Carolg,
Aside from the fact that the pill is inconvenient to take, it also comes with risks associated with breast cancer, and this is one reason why I chose never to take hormonal birth control like the pill.
I have used natural family planning for 29 years. I am not going through menopause, at the age of 49 (peri-menopause started when I was 47).
When I was 45, I had a 5 year old daughter, whom I conceived at age 40. But by age 45, pregnancy that doesn't result in miscarriage is very rare.
At age 40, most women only have a 5% chance of conceiving each month; at 45 this has dropped to 3%, and by the time a woman is 46, her egg supply is pretty much exhausted and pregnancy only very rarely occurs at this age.
One of the best things you can do now is to learn how to watch your body's signs of fertility so that you'll know when to avoid sex in order to avoid pregnancy. Here's a thread I started which discusses how to use natural birth control - natural family planning to avoid and achieve pregnancy, as desired. It has worked very well for us.
Please post back with any comments or questions you may have.
Warm Regards,

Hi Kate,
Whew! I am really scared of natural birth control. Though I wanted to stop taking it because we have a history of breast cancer in our family.
Thanks, I 'll discuss this with my husband and we'll think it over.
11th October 2012 09:00 AM #4
Hi Carol,
You can also use a non-hormonal form of birth control like condoms. It's just that my husband was never interested in using them, so we practiced natural family planning without condoms.
There may actually be classes held at your local hospital that teach you how to do this. We found a class at a Catholic Hospital and they met with us once a week for a month which made us feel very confident in what we were doing.
Alternatively, I can help you here. Just let me know if you have any questions or feel uncertain about what you are seeing in your cycle.
Warm Regards,

Hello Kate,
Oh Kate, I missed my pill again..this is one thing I don't like in taking the pill everyday. I discussed with my husband about this natural birth control thing.
16th October 2012 09:07 AM #6
Hi Carol,
What would your husband think of using a condom for a couple of months while you come off the pill? You won't see good signs of fertility while you're on the pill and it may take 6-8 weeks for you to see signs of fertility after coming off of it.
If you're husband would be willing to do this (or pull out or abstain) for a couple of months while your body adjusts to being off of hormonal birth control then I could help you learn how to read your body's signs of fertility until you felt confident in doing so. Then, he would only need to use a condom or pull out when you weren't in your fertile window - otherwise, you're simply not fertile when you are bleeding or "dry", which is 3 weeks out of every month. 5 days or so of bleeding and 14 days after the egg has been released. The egg is only viable for 12-24 hours. After that, it dies, and cannot be fertilized.
Let me know your thoughts.
Warm Regards,

This wedding has heart. It's got that stop you in your tracks, grab the box of tissues, and maybe a cupcake to enjoy alongside the images, kind of heart. And a beautiful horse. Does it get any better? Dave Noonan of Carla Ten Eyck Photography captured these two in all their tenderness on the biggest day of their lives, and we couldn't be happier that he sent it our way.
From David… Alyssa & Mark are awesome, I am so thankful to have such great clients. I don't even know where to begin while trying to describe their wedding at White Memorial in Litchfield. So, I guess I'll just let the photos tell the story of their day. I will say that Alyssa baked the amazing cupcakes herself and Mark handmade all the little rustic wooden details and displays. Sit back and take a look through some of my favorite photographs from the day.

for a problem. Whether we get him or not, remember what happens to a lot of great backs. They get hurt. Just look around at some of the recent studs such as Lattimore. We really need depth at this position and I don't see much of it down the road...
One of our offensive problems has been that we've had way too many RB's. Do u see any other teams playing 5-6 RB's? I think Miles now understands that u have to let a RB get into rhythm. It takes at least 12-15 carries for that to happen. Trying to give all these talented guys touches has been detrimental and has allowed our offense to be predictable. Recruiting is one of Les Miles' biggest strengths, he knows what he's doing. Just sit back and enjoy Hill and Fournette taking this program back to BCS games every year.
My question is what other backs will we take? Les plays a physical style of football so hopefully big physical backs who can run inside with regularity and not get injured. Les has done a good job recruiting backs. When he has recruited smaller backs they either change positions or they leave the program.
I'm looking for recent studs that have been hurt, but only one I'm seeing is Lattimore. Everyone else has been pretty healthy. And look at Lattimores build. Huge upper body with a lot of weight, but he had skinny legs. And we will take 2 RBs this year. McGhee and Hilliard will be back.
I've yet to get an answer to what if LF gets drafted with a war looming against North Korea. Do we save his offer?

interesting.. but it's only 1 LED on that IC, do you know if there's something similar but that drives many separate LEDs independently?
Quote350mA, That's hardly "high power".3.5a? maybe.
Thanks to you all, in particular the TLC5940 seems a good solution, I hadn't realized I could use more than one output on the same LED. @MarkT, could you clarify this part a bit? would I just need to wire the 3 outputs together and set the same pwm on them? Or maybe I need some capacitors to smothen things up (random guess )Thanks

|Film Begins
|After-party at Fontana's (105 Eldridge St. @ Grand)
Lower East Side
350 Grand Street, New York, NY 10002
F, J, M, Z to Delancey Street-Essex Street; B, D, Q to Grand Street
A young couple flee a violent past in this visceral road trip through the desolate bywater towns of Florida.
Filmmaker Amy Seimetz will be in attendance for a Q and A following the screening. After the Q and A there is an after-party at Fontana's with complimentary beverages.
Sun Don't Shine (Amy Seimetz | USA | 90 min.)
The sun is blaring white. The air is thick as water. Behind the mangroves and swamp grass, a man and a woman fight like animals. There's trouble in the trunk. The cause of the commotion is unclear. The woman (rising indie star Kate Lyn Sheil) passes out in the muck and the man (Kentucker Audley) sets to driving shirtless before they reveal anything. With the heat so palpable and the landscape a teeming jungle that's creepily calm, the whole thing could be a fever dream. Many moments in Sun Don't Shine have an ethereal quality—a shirt flutters away from a car window, the sounds of the world melt into noise. But this is the danger-tinged dreaminess of Badlands, and the film truly grips you by carving vivid details out of an authentic Southern locale.
Writer / Director Amy Seimetz grew up in this territory, by her own admission a hardscrabble land where violence was necessary for survival. Seimetz is an acclaimed actress who has worked with both leads, and she based the story on a recurring nightmare of hers. But the plot is not fantastical; it is grounded in irrevocably stark terms—the smell of a body, an over-heating car, the tension between friendly passerby and these two desperate characters.
A deathly blow is behind them, following them, cloaking them, and their mission of escape drifts along disturbingly. How exactly they got into this post-crime situation is vague: the objective truth is uncertain, perhaps (the film posits) impossible. More importantly, that truth is irrelevant. Blame, cause, rationale are all in the past, concepts that don't carry the same weight as their secrets. This engaging and taut thriller compels the viewer to question how they would react in such a dire situation, because once you've started down the road in Sun Don't Shine, there's no stopping.

Writer Kevin Phillips to speak, Nov. 30
Posted November 15, 2000; 12:19 a.m.
2000 Elections and the Future of American Politics" is the subject of a lecture to be presented by writer and columnist Kevin Phillips on Thursday, Nov. 30 at 8 p.m. in 101 McCormick Hall.
"Mr. Phillips, is widely regarded as one of the leading commentators on modern American politics," said Sean Wilentz, director of the Program in American Studies. "His book from 1969, The Emerging Republican Majority , proved prophetic in its forecast of the post-'68 conservative upsurge. Since then, he has had his finger on the pulse of numerous trends, from the influence of the media to the 'boiling-point' populism of recent years, and discussed them in numerous books and in the mass media with greater accuracy and balance than any other analyst."
In addition to writing books, Phillips is a regular speaker on National Public Radio, writes a monthly column for the Los Angeles Times and has been an analyst for CBS-TV News on presidential elections.
The lecture is sponsored by the Program in American Studies and the Humanities Council.

Sorry for spelling, just woke up, no way to repost.
There is a minor involved, so if you know about this matter, PLEASE NO IDENTIFYING information posted.
Appreciate input, frustrated.

You obviously need a lawyer. A GOOD one w/ experience in custody disputes and false accusations. The "system" is biased against fathers. Good luck

Sign up for a spot on the Citizens' Police Academy, cause its an eye opener to see how many "domestic" calls the Police have to respond to for custody disputes. When parents (can't behave like mature adults) by court-order need to exchange the kids in the Police Department parking lot every Friday and Monday, you know these kids are going to grow up with issues.
When the Police Department gets a call, they have to respond, and take a report from the reporting party, witnesses, etc.
Suggest this father get a good lawyer, and document, document, document.

Sorry to hear that your child's best interest is not being placed in the forefront. I agree, that you need to obtain legal representation for yourself. I have a friend that obtained legal counsel from Cherie Davis Law offices in Livermore, (925) 449-8778 and I've seen first hand how she places the children's interest first and fights for the child and what is best for him/her within the guidelines of the CA law.
Good luck...and I'll keep you and your child in my prayers.

You need to obtain legal advise. You need to document everything, as well. You also need to make sure the child is seeing a counselor in order to ensure that he has a neutral party to talk to.
Pleasanton PD is limited in how they can assist in custody matters unless a child is being physically harmed (physical/sexual/etc)
Good luck.

mom breaks into dad's house? and P-town Police are saying she has done nothing wrong?

If mom's name is on the title and she hasn't "lost" access to the house in court proceedings, the house "by law" could be considered hers and therefore it isn't a break in. I agree with others - get good legal counsel. Police are sometimes bound by "legal codes" that don't make much sense to anyone.

Though I agree you need a good lawyer, please, for your own sake and the child's, try to find a trade off you can both agree to before you drive yourself into bankruptcy. I've seen first hand how much money and anger can be spent when both parties want "sole" custody and give nothing to the other parent. Even if they are not the best parent, the judge will eventually give both parents some rights. If you can get there through mediation you may save enough to pay for the kids' college, and save all of yourelves (including the kid) a lot of mental distress.

When couples fight, lawyers win.
Your perspective is, of course, your own; and I suspect your estranged wife has a different version of the situation. Take a good honest look at how things got to this point. If you two can step back from the anger, then you can seek middle ground and compromise.
Start, maybe, from the thought that if she wants custody, she must care greatly for the child.

the WHOLE story IS NOT being told here, is it? The Pleasanton Police can only enforce by court orders that are written and agreed on by both parties and then signed by a Judge. The police can not make up the rules as they see fit. Brother, you are absolutely making up 100% of this story. Don't come here with that piece of fiction trying to disparage your ex-wife, and trying to drum up a little sympathy from the unknowing public. You than ask anyone familiar with the situation to not use your name!? Go back to court and stop this nonsense.

Having been through a custody battle environment in my past life, suffice it to say that everyone's emotions and best interests for the child or children are not remotely being maturely nor rationally managed. Each of you need to get help (emotionally and legally) and step out of the direct line of fire, since the continuation of this emotional fire will only hurt more.
The only thing that matters now is the establishment of a stable, safe, warm and happy life for the child or children. The existing immaturity will not help to quickly arrive the solution for the sake of the child/children, so it has to be taken out of your hands and into a deterministic process. If you are the proper person, then you should get yourself prepared to present, how within this process, you should be "maturely" chosen over anyone else.

get a book called "divorce casualties" and read it.
get a decent lawyer who cares about the kid not the money.
sit down and write all the benefits the child has living in pleasanton, not w/ dad, but in pleasanton; ie: school, activities, no crime, swimming, friends, can bike and not worry, etc. etc..
we went thru something similar but worse, the police and the court are tied to the law here, that is the way the judge is. it has to be on paper and you need someone who knows the law. the judge does not care if she puts you in poverty paying a large amount to your ex, she does not care how you "feel" or the lies that are being told, all she cares about is the way it's filed, if it's on time and the law, she doesn't care about the kids or the families. BEWARE.
get a lawyer, the system is screwd and in Alameda County alone about 48k kids end up with the "wrong" parent, the abusive parent!
good luck!!

Thanks so much for all the responses..
Yes I needed and still need a good Lawyer and the financial situation hasn't allowed for this. Also, lawyers will suck $7000 plus out in one or two motions, responses and a court appearance.
There are TWO types of divorse, amicable and disasterous, ours is the second and the CHILD is HURT the MOST.
>> Step One
Yes the "system is biased!~ I raised this child 90% custody for nearly the first year while he mother partied... Clearly at around 40, a mid life crisis!
>> B. Hemlund
NO "Police reports" in over fourty responses, these have been primarily "fact finding missions"~ Yes, document..document..document
>> Been There
>> Unknown
In councelinng at school and private - actually the child is doing better then expected considering, it's the pre teen years that worry me. I am 100% commited to the best interest. PPD has gone way beyond there scope and have TRIED to phisically remove the child to do an excnage in mis communication, with NO avail, I know the law and our rights. Some officers have a renaegde mentality. Clearly at the cholds mothers beck n call...
>> Dan
Responding Police inititally refused to even take a report.. "Report" reluctaltly taken days later after my pushing at higher levels. Police wouldn't interview witnesses or take pictures of the broken window. STILL very much pushing the matters as the mother accessed computer and my trail eveidence, a potential federal crime.
>> Parent
Thi is a rental and Police are not following the law, that's the problem. It's bias, it's unethical and its obsurd!
>> Reasonable
We can't agree on anything, the childs mother is an alcoholic and going out with a vindictive and childish biker ten years my junior who want's a phisical fight!
>> Mike
Spot on, Lawyers WANT the couple to be at odds! The entire "system" is broken and the children loose, totally. I need to think onn this and I have been trying to meet in the middle, that's why I stipulated to the mother having 40% custody from a 10% stanpoint for nearly a year. There are substantial parening issues sadly.
>> Sonny Crocket
The' whole story" can not be told here, it's way to complex, IT WOULDN'T BE PRUDENT AS LITIGATION CONTINUES AS DOES TRYING TO WORK ON A solutions with PPD ranking offoicers at this time! Yes, there are two sides, however a fight mentality, alcohol problems and a purely adult AGENDA, USING THE CHILD AS A WEAPON AT ANY COST IS JUST INSANE!
PPD has and DOES "MAKE UP RULES AS THEY SEE FIT" in this case AND THIS is THE BIGGEST ISSUE AT HAND AT THIS TIME!
>> SONNEY CROCKET, NONE OTHER THAN THE EX'S BOYFIRND, clearly ! Go have a drink! "MADE UP 10O%" O.K. chief wanna fist fight!~ Geez!~
When you can't see that you're constantly lied to and you endorse using a young child as a weapon to hurt the father, your a very sick individual.
>> Dr. Doug
>> Mary
Thank you and the judge has ruled that the child STAY in Pleasanton, NOT potetially with the mother and B.F. in a large local city in the bay Area! The child stays where they are supported by the cimmunity. If the mother has realized this was the most likely outcome, 90% of this insanity wouln't have likely taken place. Constant lies to Police and Police presence in front of the child, false allegations etc.
Note: PPD higer ranks are trying to work through this with mme at this time, not looking great for the child's mother.
P.S. To the mothers BF, remeber supoena power. Think and act wisely!

The intent of this post was certainly not to:
"trying to disparage your ex-wife, and trying to drum up a little sympathy from the unknowing public"
Note that the child's mother is not supported in this community, in fact has used the child directly as a weapon in her pursuit of moving the child to the boyfriends massive Bay Area community.
Her lifestyle, bikers and booze!

Single Father,
It is hard for any of us to give you suggestions when we cannot know the whole story. It sounds like you are doing the wisest and best you can in a very difficult situation. Unfortunately, the legal/judicial system in this country is in need of a major overhaul - those with the most money and highest priced lawyers usually win. I'm glad you have been able to get the higher brass at PPD to help you out. Hang tough and get support from your friends and if you have one; your faith community. Kudos for trying to put your child first.

Thank You! I have seen and been aware of several resources, this not being one of them. California Courts are horrendous for children. Lawyers are horrendous. A parent using a child as a tool, a weapon is most horrendous.
The Local Court has one of the worst rated Judges in all of California, making matters worse. California has a 50% custody presumption, short of abuse, child abuse etc. Emotional abuse is NOT considered sadly and can be worse than phisical. As I said, PPD has been more open to working with me since the mothers credibility has substantially declined with there office as well as with the court.
My contiued and unwaivering standing by my child's side 100% through all of this has had some notice, some fathers bail, I won't. I had 90% custody and today it is 50 percent, the child used as a tool, a weapon by the mother constantly and blatently. Police presence over 40 times in front of the child. False allegations and more. PPD is no longer responding to the child's mother, after a lot of communication with superiors. The child's mother is not credible and frinally the Police and Courts are recognising this.
>> Parent
You seem to know just how tough it can be, thank you. Lawyers, yes really a scam and often make matters much worser indeed. Yes PPD higher brass is now starting to realise the issues as they are and to take action, or rather discontiue 'taking action" out of major confusion and the motherts constant ongoing allegations and requests for "assistance", the past being her using Police to harrass the child's father in front of the child.
Faith and friends are the backing support, yes, thank you. As a single father, you know the fathers love for a child is unwaivering and it is really tough as the man, in a system biased against fathers.

Dear single father,
I have a friend that is going through the exact same thing as you. He has been going through this for years. He gets very frustrated at the court system and the ex-girlfriend for using the child as the weapon just like your ex-wife does. The court system sucks.
Like I tell him live day by day because karma will strike her.
Good luck I hope better things work out for you and your child. :)

It seem to me just cruel and insane for a parent to blatently use a child who is already suffering the loss of the traditional family, as a weapon to hurt the father at any cost. Purely an adult focused agenda, at the cost of a child!
Involving Police countless times with the child present is just insane, done purely to harrass the father using the system. Using Police as quasi custody councelors constantly, not their job. Finally, Police will no longer respond to the mothers enless calls and countless grievences and allegations. The damage to the child is insurmountable.
The court finally ruled that the child remain in Pleasanton School District indefinately. The childs mother's heart and priorities are in San Jose and she is obsorbed in an adult lifestyle.
Seems that the mother as stated many times has a n agenda focused purely on revenge for my having has 90% custody for nearly a year, due to substatial concerns mothers with regard to the mothers parenting. These concerns remain and even more so, however california has a long term presumption for 50/50 custody. Time will tell.
It's really tough, a daily struggle, however NEVER would I place ANYTHING OR ANYONE ahead of our childs needs.
Thank you for your words, I think I know this father that you refer to?

I guess in all fairness, the title of this post would now read:
Pleasanton Police Superiors have finally taken the time to wade through a very compicated and hostile divorse situation, and seem to have changes positions, to a degree.
There will never bo total resolve and the damage to the child will be lifelong, however it's been a tense and complicated two years.
At least Police are not showing up weekly, with the child being involved, at the child's mothers every little misunderstanding of court orders and or or dilusional and false allegations.

Dear Single Dad,
I also went throuh a disastrous divorce where my ex used our children as a weapon and they suffered tremendously. He was incredibly manipulative and a "user" of many people in our marriage, then he did the same with our innocent children in the divorce.
All I can say is hang in there and document everything. Protect your child the best that you can. Your Ex will most likely discredit herself as mine did. He would not cooperate with the court or mediator and therefore lost custody.
Another thing that is important is to never say anything bad about your ex in front of your child. This is their mother and they will always remember it if you do. I had a very hard time remembering that when my children were young. Now they are in their mid to late 20s and they tell me how much it hurt when they heard their dad calling me names or saying bad things about me and they tell me they remember that I never did say anything bad about him.
Your child is only young a very short time and even though it is rough what you are going through right now, hang in there. It seems like things are turning around a bit in your favor.

Middleton loses in state soccer tournament
Cardinals make first visit to state since 2007
MILWAUKEE, Wis. - The Middleton girls' soccer team is out of the state soccer playoffs after losing in the quarterfinals to Waukesha West 2-1 Thursday in Milwaukee.
Waukesha West took an early lead on a corner kick by Carly Richter in the ninth minute. They added to their lead in the second half when Dani Rhodes sneaked a kick past the goalie.
Middleton scored a late goal, but it wasn't enough for the Cardinals.
"It's just, you know, bitter sweet. You made it to state and just didn't make it to one past," said Middleton head coach Mary Duffy. "They played well in the second half, and came up just a little bit short. You know, words are pretty hard, you know. Give them a hug and we will see you next year. There are no words."
Middleton ended the season at 14-5-4.Middleton loses in state soccer tournament

The heart and lungs are located in the thorax, or chest cavity. The heart pumps blood from the body to the lungs, where the blood is oxygenated. It then returns the blood to the heart, which pumps the freshly oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.
A combined heart-lung transplant may be recommended for patients who have both cardiac and lung disease. The most common reasons for a combined heart-lung transplant are pulmonary hypertension, cystic fibrosis, lung disease associated with damage to the right ventricle of the heart, and various congenital defects of the heart and lungs.
Heart-lung transplant operations have been performed since 1980 in the United States. The donated heart and lungs come from a human who has been declared brain-dead but remains on a life-support machine. A single recipient may receive one or both donor lungs. The tissues must be a match to help ensure that the patient does not reject the transplanted tissue. While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), an incision is made through the breast bone (sternum). Tubes are used to re-route the blood to a heart-lung bypass machine that keeps the blood oxygenated and circulating during the surgery.
The patient's heart and lungs are removed and the donor heart and lungs are stitched into place. A heart-lung transplant is performed only in patients who have a very good chance of success. The long-term outcome is variable, depending on the patient's overall health and disease progression. Most patients should expect to stay in the hospital for an extended period of time. It generally takes about six months to fully recover from this surgery. To prevent rejection of the donor organs, the patient will likely take immunosuppressive medication for the rest of his life.

Professor Akhtar Hussain's aim of studying anthropometric indicators of obesity was to evaluate the predictive ability of body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio and body fat percentages for the presence of cardiometabolic risks—namely type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and the metabolic syndrome. Professor Hussain's research confirm that indices of central obesity predict better cardiometabolic risk factors than general obesity defined by BMI for both men and women and, moreover, that lower cut-off points are needed for people of South Asian origin. If accepted, a positive change in uncovering cardiovascular and metabolic disease earlier would mean an increased opportunity for better outcomes in South Asian populations.

The Long Arm of International Law
Thanks to a once-obscure law passed in 1789, foreign victims of foreign human rights abusers can use U.S. courts to sue their abusers. But the Supreme Court may soon ban such suits. That would be a shame, since they offer victims some measure of solace and give substance to underenforced human rights laws. The law should be upheld, and other countries should follow the U.S. lead.

TUPELO – After nearly three decades of leading schools, Milam Elementary School Principal Travis Beard has become a mentor to many administrators.
His most important advice, he said, is to love your work, care for your kids and do what is right.
"Teaching comes from the heart," said Beard, who was named the Tupelo Public School District's Administrator of the Year. "If you teach and have genuine concern for children, you'll be successful as a teacher, as a coach, as an administrator and as a person."
Beard was honored during Tuesday's School Board meeting at Pierce Street Elementary School. He will represent the district in state competition.
"He is like a sponge," Tupelo Superintendent Gearl Loden said of Beard. "He wants Milam to do well, and the teachers respond well to him. He is having a great year."
Now in his 42nd year as an educator, Beard's career began in 1968 when he was employed as a teacher and coach at Milam. He worked in the same position at Carver Elementary and later became an assistant principal at the school.
He's been a principal for 28 years, including 20 years at Amory Middle School. Beard moved to his current position at Milam in 2005.
This is the second time Beard has been an Administrator of the Year. He won the honor in Amory in 2002.
Although he has more than enough years to retire, Beard said he will be back again next year.
"It really means a lot at this point in my career to realize I have an impact on faculty and students," he said. "I still have something to work for and goals I want to achieve."
During his acceptance speech on Tuesday night, he spoke of being energized by working with Tupelo's "top gun" principals.
"We have some outstanding young administrators pushing for their school to be the top school, and I'm trying to keep Milam up there with them."
Those who wrote letters of recommendation on Beard's behalf spoke of the relationships he's established with students and teachers, as well as his community service.
Beard is active in the Kiwanis Club and has started a chapter for Milam students.
"One thing I enjoy is the kids," he said. "I've always tried to put kids first and do what is best for them."

Auckland's total fire ban will be lifted for one day only tomorrow to allow Waitangi Day hangis and barbecues.
The one-day partial lift, effective from now until midnight tomorrow, will allow cooking fires on private property including hangi, umu, pizza ovens and solid fuel barbecues.
The ban won't be lifted on open air fires or solid fuel cooking in public areas.
Principal rural fire officer Bryan Cartelle said Auckland Council would be lifting the ban on account of Waitangi Day celebrations and rainfall over the last 24 hours.
"We want people to enjoy traditional Waitangi Day celebrations and the recent rain has given us a short reprieve to allow this as long as people are responsible and considerate," he said.
"We trust people will take care with barbecues and hangi, and enjoy a safe and happy Waitangi Day with friends and family."
Complete fire bans are in place in numerous locations around the country thanks to prolonged dry conditions and high temperatures.

The whole Hard Rock enterprise — which started as a café and has since branched out into hotels, casinos, and a vast nationwide network of lame T-shirts — has built great success on the idea of "rock."
What the hell is rock these days? I can't quite define it, but it pops up everywhere. It's the operative word in Rock of Love and VH1's Movies That Rock: The MC Hammer Story. I think it's the secret ingredient in Rockstar Energy Drink. Kid Rock has it in spades. If I close my eyes and try to imagine it, it sounds kinda like Eddie Money and looks like Tommy Lee, but older.
Don't worry, I'm not trying to blow your mind with the shocking scoop that rock and roll hasn't remained completely free of commercial taint. I'm talking about the word, which the Man has co-opted and rendered beautifully meaningless. The Hard Rock Café uses the rock concept — mostly in the form of memorabilia — to sell people food, beverages, and T-shirts. Which sounds like the most natural thing in the world until you think about it for 10 seconds. Why does rock equal food? Because rock equals anything you want to sell to Baby Boomers.
Earlier this month, a new extension of the brand made its public debut, further eroding the meaning of "rock." The Hard Rock Park — I am absolutely not making this quote up — "turns up the volume on the family leisure scene" with a rock-oriented adventure for all ages. The sprawling theme park is the biggest tourist destination ever to hit Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, having cost a whopping $400 million. Its bizarre attractions and muddled themes paint a delightful picture of a bunch of square-ass suits making a valiant attempt to figure out this whole "rock" thing, and I can't say I blame 'em for being a little confused. Allow me to guide you through the park with this evocative boilerplate from the press release:
"ROCK & ROLL HEAVEN — AN OASIS OF ROCK, EXPLORES THE FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS 'BEHIND THE MUSIC' — THE INFLUENCES, THE LEGENDS AND THE VIBRATIONS THAT STIR THE SOUL." This section houses the park's biggest attraction, "Led Zeppelin: The Ride." I find it rather odd that they'd pick a three-quarters-living band to represent the booming industry of dead rockers, but they probably didn't want to get too pessimistic. (And the Hendrix estate is an expensive bunch.) Phoenix editor Lance Gould suggests they beef the place up with a "Lynyrd Skynyrd Flight Simulator" and a "Jimi Hendrix Puke Lagoon Submarine Ride," plus some fine dining at the Mama Casseteria. (Don't blame me for those jokes. All him.)
"BRITISH INVASION — CELEBRATES ROCK 'N' ROLL ENGLISH STYLE. THE LOOK AND FEEL OF LONDON CREATES A BACKDROP TO EXPLORE ROCK'S MOST INFLUENTIAL ARTISTS AND MUSICAL GENRES." Skips all the Beatles bullshit and heads straight for the good stuff: a trippy ride based on the Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin," a roller-coaster with an '80s new-wave theme, and three restaurants that focus on the world-famous delights of British cuisine. Be sure to take your children to the "charming toddler play area" in the psychedelic "Magic Mushroom Garden," which lights up like a giant black-light poster at night. It's never too early to teach your tots about the thrilling effects of psilocybin!

Death & Funerals
For thousands of years Southeast Asians have buried their dead with extraordinary care, laying out expansive graves filled with splendid gifts for the deceased and their glorification in the afterlife. In many animist cultures funerals continue to be the most spectacular and extravagant rites, for one of the most important tasks of the living is to ensure that the deceased are sent satisfied into the next world. To carry out these proceedings successfully the utmost consideration and the greatest art are required.
The recently deceased are the ancestors of the future, especially for members of the village elite. Enormous energy and wealth are expended on funeral rites to honour the dead in a manner appropriate to their social standing in the family and community. Lengthy and complex mortuary celebrations, sometimes held years after death, ensure a soul's safe passage to the ancestral realm where it will oversee the activities and welfare of the living. Failure to appease a spirit can impel it to join the many other destructive spiritual beings capable of sabotaging the community's quest for fertility and wellbeing.

Powder Corrosion Resistance Primer 50 Lb
Item #1030150LBS
About Powder Corrosion Resistance Primer 50 Lb
Priming with Powder - The legendary durability of powder-coated finishes is further enhanced with this epoxy based powder primer. If the utmost corrosion resistance and adhesion are important to you, you'll want to use this primer under every opaque powder we sell. (Not for use under our new line of High Temp Powders, or directly under translucent finishes.) For best results apply to clean bare metal and place in a preheated 400 degree F oven until flow out occures. DO NOT cure beyound flow out as adhesion will be adversely affected. Remove from oven, cool, apply powder of choice and bake as normal.
One 50lb. bag is enough to cover approximately 1,000 square feet.
Use PRE Painting Prep (10041z) to remove residual grease or oil before powder application.
Allowing the Epoxy powder primer to fully cure will cause poor adhesion of the top coat. Some degree of adhesion can be restored to fully cured epoxy primer by sanding with 220 grit paper, however adhesion is always best when the top coat is applied over the partially cured primer surface.

DualDisc is a supposedly revolutionary new technology that allows (and please contain your excitement here) an album in CD format on one side and in DVD-Audio format on the other!! :rolleyes:
A couple of months ago, the studios re-released several albums in this format. I thought, "Whoop-dee-freakin'-doo!! This won't last long." Like most people, I don't use DVD-Audio, don't normally even play the pack-in freebie DVDs that come with some albums, and (as much as I love to listen to music) probably wouldn't notice a whole lot of difference in the sound quality.
But looking around online, it looks like two of the three CD's coming out in the next month that I've been looking forward to (Bruce Springsteen and Joe Perry) are being released only on DualDisc. And it looks like a couple of other high-profile new releases that I don't care about are also only available on DualDisc.
Call me crazy, but I hate flippers anyway. I'm careful with all my CD's and DVD's, but I like knowing that it won't be the end of the world if I accidentally touch one side of the disc.
More insidious, though, it looks to me like this is a way for the record industry ripoff artists to jack the prices up again. The prices for new CD's have dropped pretty dramatically over the past year or so, but these things cost what CD's used to cost. And it looks like, with the higher profile albums coming out only in this format, that it's a situation where a year or so from now they'll say, "Hey, folks bought these albums, so maybe we should do only DualDisc from now on!"
Man, I'm old fashioned. I like to actually have the physical CD with the original artwork and such, and I don't believe in downloading tracks (unless it's a case like the ROTS soundtrack, where I plan to buy it anyway). But this is making it really difficult to justify spending money on something that I'm only going to half use. :mad:

As a quick follow up to my post of yesterday, I've updated my common-idioms package to contain 100% MORE EVIL. Included are two symbol property-list abusing macros, one of which depends on order of expansion and is thus technically not ANSI.
The first of these macros is symbolic IF, which works as follows:
(let ((x (list 1 2 3))) (sif (cdr x) (sif (car it) (setf it 'foo))) x) => (1 foo 3)
The second is let-env, which is the unportable one I mentioned:
(let ((x 1) (y 2)) (let-env env (append (let ((x 3) (y 4)) (setf x 5) (env (x) (setf x 6) (setf y 7)) (list x y)) (list x y)))) => (5 7 6 2)Also, the completely unportable but highly useful EXPAND-ONLY has been extended to allow expanding of all macros (pass T for the name list) and to return a second value containing an alist of (form expansion) pairs for forms that couldn't be found in the current expansion (happens often with SETF).

Project Survive
Project SURVIVE is a peer education program of the
Women's Studies department at City College of San Francisco which
trains students to make classrooms presentations on promoting healthy
relationships. Peer educators, both women and men, suggest resources
and information to help students build intimate relationships based on
respect and trust. They also offer students strategies for
identifying, avoiding, and leaving abusive relationships.
Although Project SURVIVE focuses on ending sexual violence, the program is dedicated to ending all forms of power abuse in relationships--both gay and straight--and in social groups and public institutions.
By focusing on the real problem of violence against women while at the same time acknowledging the potential for abuse by anyone, the program offers City College students an honest treatment of a serious problem confronting all of us.
Project SURVIVE holds to the principle that violence is a public health problem that can be alleviated, in part, through prevention education. The most empowering aspect of Project SURVIVE is that students deliver solutions to their peers in frank, open discussions. They approach the subject in a non-threatening, hopeful manner. Audiences are always receptive and often enthusiastic. Evaluations indicate that students appreciate learning from their peers--people they can identify with and trust.
Project SURVIVE has been visiting classrooms since 1993. We visit 200 classrooms each academic year, serving approximately 4,000 students. In addition to presentations in English, we deliver bilingual Spanish-English presentations at the Mission Campus and bilingual Chinese-English presentations at the Chinatown campus.
Project SURVIVE is a member of the Expect Respect SF collaborative, a group of San Francisco rape and intimate partner violence intervention and prevention programs. Other member organizations include San Francisco Women Against Rape, SF LGBT Community Center, W.O.M.A.N., Inc., Young Asian Women Against Violence, The Riley Center, La Casa de las Madres, Health Initiatives for Youth, and Shalom Bayit. The collaborative works to promote healthy and violence-free dating among all youth through youth-centered, culturally sensitive education. We give over 200 presentations to all SFUSD high schools each academic year.

A quick version of traditional cordon bleu, chicken breasts are placed over rice and ham, then topped with cheesy pasta sauce.
If fresh chicken breast tenders are not available, frozen (thawed) chicken tenders (not breaded) may be used. Or substitute boneless, skinless chicken breast halves that have been cut lengthwise into thirds.
Leftover ham from a holiday meal can be used in this recipe. Slice it thin, and cut enough strips to cover the rice.
A salad of mixed greens or fresh arugula and sliced red pears complete this easy chicken casserole meal.

Deeplinks Blog posts about EFF Europe
It has been almost two weeks since cablegate.wikileaks.org, the website hosting leaked US diplomatic cables, was taken down, and the right of Wikileaks to publish truthful information was immediately besieged. Since then, human rights organizations around the world have condemned the attacks on WikiLeaks and have raised their voices to protect freedom of expression online.
EFF Calls on European Commission to Protect Internet Users' Rights by Requiring Court Order Before ISP Takedowns
To provide greater protection for Internet users' freedom of expression and privacy rights, EFF recommended that the European Commission (EC) should preserve limitations on liability for Internet intermediaries and clarify that Internet intermediaries should not be considered to have "actual knowledge" requiring them to takedown content unless they have received a court order or notification in comments filed recently as part of the EC's long-awaited public consultation on the workability of the 2000 EU eCommerce Directive.
EFF recently participated in the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Vilnius, Lithuania, advocating for the respect of citizens' fundamental rights online. The IGF is an experimental and influential multi-stakeholder policy forum convened by the United Nations Secretary General in 2006, where civil society, industry, the technical community, and decision makers discuss key aspects of Internet governance issues on an equal footing. The informal nature of the IGF is designed to promote the full and frank exchange of ideas on important Internet policy issues without the knock-down-and-dragged-out conflicts that characterize other international fora where recommendations or binding treaties are made. This year, IGF brought together over 1,400 participants from around the world.
In a landmark announcement issued today, the data protection officials across the European Union found that the way that EU Member States have implemented the data retention obligations in the 2006 EU Data Retention Directive is unlawful. The highly controversial 2006 EU Data Retention Directive compels all ISPs and telecommunications service providers operating in Europe to retain telecom and internet traffic data about all of their customers' communications for a period of at least 6 months and up to 2 years.
Yet another country has decided to shut down key parts the Internet. Kathleen Reen at Internews reports that, as of this past Thursday, the Afghan Ministry of Communications mandated that all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in Afghanistan filter websites falling under the following categories:
- Alcohol
- Dating/Social Networking
- Gambling
- Pornography
Reen reports countrywide blockages of Facebook, Gmail, YouTube, and Twitter. The Afghan Wireless Communication Company (AWCC), one of Afghanistan's two largest telecommunication companies, is referring people with questions to the Ministry of Communications.

The University of Kansas Hospital has secured some major philanthropic support for a new patient building at its Kansas City, Kan., campus.
In a news release, the hospital said donors have pledged large gifts toward the new building. The hospital owns about 14 acres at the northwest corner of 39th Street and State Line Road, which it purchased in 2005 for future expansion.
Hospital executives, civic leaders and foundation representatives had planned to discuss the project and its funding at a news conference Monday. The hospital postponed the announcement about 90 minutes before the scheduled news conference, citing "last minute travel complications." The hospital did not set a new date.
According to the news release, the hospital has experienced "substantial growth" in inpatients and surgeries.
"While there has been no formal announcement of a new building project," the news release said, "private briefings with key audiences have led to support for the project."

Tamako Market follows Kitashirakawa Tamako as she lives out her daily life in the Usagiyama Shopping District with the sudden intrusion of a talking bird named Dera, who brings about a flurry of unusual, interesting activities. An adorable story with lovable characters is truly what sums up this anime. This is a typical Kyoto Animation anime and I loved it with all my heart. (Well, I loved it with enough of my heart to give it four stars...) Story: 15/20 To be honest, the plot was probably the weakest part of this anime and that's still saying something because it's pretty good. The plot that was... See full review
Amnesia basically follows a girl (nobody knows her name so she's named "Heroine") who lost her memories and tries to regain them with the help of a fairy named Orion. However, nothing really makes sense seeing as she always returns to the date of August 1st for some unknown reason. On top of that, she's dating a different guy each time! Now, isn't that a shock? Story: 7/20 Honestly, as the series went on, my thoughts have mainly ranged from "What the actual fuck?" to "What the hell's going on?!" So, really, it's not much of a difference. At first, nothing makes sense... See full review

Arve Rezzle: Kikaijikake no Yoseitachi is set in 2022, where technology has advanced enough to allow humans' minds to travel through cyberspace as they leave their bodies behind in "body pools" which would maintain their physical health. This new technology is called NLN. A crisis later dubbed as "Early Rapture" occurred and several thousand consciousnesses were lost in cyberspace, unable to return to their bodies. Remu's sister, Shiki, was one of the victims of this incident, but she managed to return. However, the one who returned to Shiki's body wasn't "Shiki." Somehow, a... See full review
Really, this is a cute, short anime about a -- believe it or not-- highschool girl named Aoi who's afraid of heights and how she overcomes that fear due to her meeting a childhood friend, Hinata, who loves climbing mountains. At least, that's what I got from the first episode. Turns out, the story is more about Aoi changing as a person and... the two girls climbing mountains together. Well, let's get on with this review! Story: 10/20 This anime gets a somewhat bad score from me when it comes to the story because the plot just goes in loops! The story usually pans out in this sequence: The... See full review
This anime is probably the most underrated comedic anime I have ever seen. It's hilarious, has a few touching moments (but its often ruined afterwards by Guu or one of the other characters...), and very enjoyable to watch. I've been watching some very tense, dramatic, action-filled animes these days and Hale Nochi Guu was kinda like an outlet for those other animes. It never fails to make me laugh and has me ROFLing in every single episode. The story received a 9/10 from me because each episode has its own story, not that i mind those, but sometimes, it stops story, moves on to others, and after a while... See full review

This is one AMAZING anime and it is #2 on my list of favorites!
