There is no doubt that folks are wondering where to go next in terms of search. And barring the Eric Ward article below, I refuse to go there and make conjecture. That said, these are the articles that I thought enough of to bookmark in my delicious account for future reading and saving.
- What Start-up Metrics do You Measure? 5 Number that actually Matter… Howard goes over the 5 analytic metrics that matter for start ups. Short, concise read with very good points.
- Can There Really Be 85 Types of Unnatural Links?- Eric Ward, aka the father of link building,discusses the various types of links that could be deemed unnatural. And actually it isn't 85 he lists but 15.
- 25 Blogging Tips for Newbies and Veterans- Jeff Goins has some practical tips (from his perspective) on blogging. Not the usual "create great content" bullets that we are used to getting. And by the way, he also has a great book, so you want to be a writer. (I reviewed it here).
- Fix It, Revive It, Ride It- Corbett Barr lists the 3 possibilities when you are thinking of building a product. Awesome.
- If They Build It Will They Come? Class Notes from Peter Thiel- If you don't read anything on this page, read this. It isn't for beginners but Peter Thiel goes over some rather complex marketing strategies and somehow does it in a way that should make sense to even the casual marketer.
- The Profound Power of 5 Blog Readers- Because sometimes it isn't the numbers that matter. It who is being affected by you.
- Taking Up Space- It's about letting go of the past and looking forward to the future. Very positive article. And one that I really love.

Reporting from Washington — Natural gas companies that regularly use hydraulic fracturing to drill disclose the risks to shareholders, but not to landowners, according to a report released Monday.
As a result of disclosure requirements in federal securities law, some companies that have led the push into the mid-Atlantic and Northeast to use hydraulic fracturing have described to shareholders in explicit terms the potential dangers of their work, including leaks, spills and explosions. One company, Chesapeake Energy Corp., touted in its annual report in March that its efforts to lease land from private owners was a "land grab."

Suggestions of where to buy chickpeas
Suggestions of where to buy chickpeas in NW DC or mid or South Arlington? I guess I could go to Lebanese Taverna Market but I'm on my bicycle and have a full schedule, so I would prefer something closer if possible. I've had bad luck with dried chickpeas before but I am determined to figure this out and can pull out my pressure cooker if necessary. I hate all the cans I go through when I make hummus.
P.S. Tips on tahini brands are good too.
This reminds me, where can I find tahini (preferably close to Columbia Heights)? Giant (Columbia Hts) hasn't had any that I could find for the last month.
If you are looking for something beyond the standard 1 pound plastic bag of beans that you can pick up just about anywhere - or can't get to a story with a decent bulk dry goods section - you can order heirloom Ceci Toscani imported from Republic of Beans here:
Other purveyors stock them as well. but this is one option.
I know this doesn't work for your Bike, but H-Mart has FRESH ones still in the Pod if you are up for a treat, albiet with a bit more work.
re: tommyskitchen
I love the fresh ones - but I don't really know what to do with them. I have been treating them like fresh Fava beans and that seems to work pretty well, but they are still a new product to me so I am still playing around.
I'm pretty sure that if i tried to do a hummus with them people would think I'm crazy but it might be someting worth trying for S&G's.
BTW - they are much easier to work with than fresh fava beans.
re: drewpbalzac
Yes, favas have that extra step! You can get them now at H-mart as well, but I won't put the effort into it until the local ones show up in a few months at the Farmers Markets....
I have never made Hummus with the Garbonzos - I eat them like Edamame after tossing with some Olive Oil and salt then roasting....
I always can find them in regular markets. I know for sure that the Giant on Glebe on the border of Arlandria sells them. Giant often has beans in two places - the "regular" dried beans area near canned veggies and then a hispanic section with bigger bags of pintos, garbanzos, black beans, etc.
Speaking of hummus, the best version I ever made was from Bittman, using soaked, not cooked, dried garbanzos. I always get tahini from the Mediterranean Bakery in Alexandria, probably out of your range but walk or bike-able from Van Dorn metro.
re: tcamp
Thanks for the tips, everyone!
I ended up getting chickpeas at Whole Foods (where chickpeas and black beans seemed to be the only beans not available in the bulk section).
tccamp, I'll definitely keep those suggestions in mind as I go to that Giant sometimes. I did not know about Mediterranean Bakery but it is up my alley.

One of our best "instigators for good," Eileen Moore - owner of Eileen's Art and Antiques - has come up with a great idea to make our little slice of paradise even nicer; she's getting local businesses and caring individuals to sponsor hanging baskets all up and down Centre Street. We already have a movie-set of a town, but this will really be the hot sauce on the shrimp. Many of these are already up and it's great to see the generosity of our locals who are stepping up to the plate in a difficult economy to show some hometown pride. Thanks to Eileen for getting things going and to everyone who's contributing.

Carriage Towne News
---- — EXETER — HiSET® (High School Equivalency) has replaced the GED in NH! Like the GED, it provides an opportunity to study and earn a high school equivalency certificate.
Adults who did not complete high school or who need to improve basic reading, writing, or math skills are encouraged to come back to school. Because school may not have been a positive experience the first time, returning to school may sound like a scary thing to do. Yet many adults from ages 18 to 75 have taken the courageous step to get their high school equivalency certificate or to improve their spelling, reading, and math.
Some of these brave people come to school because they need this certification to get a job or to prepare for job training or college. Others want to be able to help their own children but need to improve their own skills first. Whatever the reason, it's not too late.
Adult Basic Education and HiSET Preparation day classes meet on Mon., Wed., and Fri., from 9:00 a.m. to Noon. Evening classes meet on Mon. and Thurs., from 6:30–9:00 p.m. Registration is on Mon., January 13 at 9:00 a.m. for day classes and 6:30 p.m. for evening classes.
ABE classes are free. HiSET course tuition is $80.00, including books. Limited scholarships are available.
All classes meet at the Tuck Learning Campus, Entrance D, 30 Linden Street, Exeter. For more information regarding any of these classes, please call Exeter Adult Education at 775-8457, or visit their website at adultedsau16.org.

|file sharing
In computing, a shared resource or network share is a device or piece of information on a computer that can be remotely accessed from another computer, typically via a local area network or an enterprise Intranet, transparently as if it were a resource in the local machine. Examples are shared file access (also known as disk sharing and folder sharing), shared printer access (printer sharing), shared scanner access, etc. The shared resource is called a shared disk (also known as mounted disk), shared drive volume, shared folder, shared file, shared document, shared printer or shared scanner. The term file sharing traditionally means shared file access, especially in the context of operating systems and LAN and Intranet services, for example in Microsoft Windows documentation. Though, as BitTorrent and similar applications became available in the early 2000's, the term file sharing increasingly has become associated with peer-to-peer file sharing over the Internet. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Resource sharing)
Apache Hadoop is an open source software framework that supports data-intensive distributed applications licensed under the Apache v2 license. It enables applications to work with thousands of computational independent computers and petabytes of data. Hadoop was derived from Google's MapReduce and Google File System (GFS) papers. Hadoop is a top-level Apache project being built and used by a global community of contributors, written in the Java programming language. Yahoo! has been the largest contributor to the project, and uses Hadoop extensively across its businesses. On February 19, 2008, Yahoo! Inc. launched what it claimed was the world's largest Hadoop production application. The Yahoo! Search Webmap is a Hadoop application that runs on more than 10,000 core Linux cluster and produces data that is now used in every Yahoo! Web search query. There are multiple Hadoop clusters at Yahoo!, and no HDFS filesystems or MapReduce jobs are split across multiple datacenters. Every hadoop cluster node bootstraps the Linux image, including the Hadoop distribution. Work that the clusters perform is known to include the index calculations for the Yahoo! search engine. On June 10, 2009, Yahoo! made available the source code to the version of Hadoop it runs in production. Yahoo! contributes back all work it does on Hadoop to the open-source community. The company's developers also fix bugs and provide stability improvements internally, and release this patched source code so that other users may benefit from their effort. In 2010 Facebook claimed that they had the largest Hadoop cluster in the world with 21 PB of storage. On July 27, 2011 they announced the data had grown to 30 PB. Besides Facebook and Yahoo!, many other organizations are using Hadoop to run large distributed computations. Some of the notable users include: (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Hadoop)
The Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) is an exercise undertaken approximately every 5 years on behalf of the four UK higher education funding councils (HEFCE, SHEFC, HEFCW, DELNI) to evaluate the quality of research undertaken by British higher education institutions. RAE submissions from each subject area (or unit of assessment) are given a rank by a subject specialist peer review panel. The rankings are used to inform the allocation of quality weighted research funding (QR) each higher education institution receives from their national funding council. Previous RAEs took place in 1986, 1989, 1992, 1996 and 2001. The most recent results were published in December 2008. Various media have produced league tables of institutions and disciplines based on the 2008 RAE results. Different methodologies lead to similar but non-identical rankings. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Research Assessment Exercise)
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a set of rules for encoding documents in machine-readable form. It is defined in the XML 1.0 Specification produced by the W3C, and several other related specifications, all gratis open standards. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: XML)
The Apache HTTP Server, commonly referred to as Apache, is web server software notable for playing a key role in the initial growth of the World Wide Web. In 2009 it became the first web server software to surpass the 100 million website milestone. Apache was the first viable alternative to the Netscape Communications Corporation web server (currently known as Oracle iPlanet Web Server), and has since evolved to rival other web servers in terms of functionality and performance. Typically Apache is run on a Unix-like operating system. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Apache HTTP Server)
|knowledge base
A knowledge base (abbreviated KB) is a special kind of database for knowledge management, providing the means for the computerized collection, organization, and retrieval of knowledge. Also a collection of data representing related experiences, their results are related to their problems and solutions. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Knowledge base)
Representational State Transfer (REST) is a style of software architecture for distributed hypermedia systems such as the World Wide Web. The term Representational State Transfer was introduced and defined in 2000 by Roy Fielding in his doctoral dissertation. Fielding is one of the principal authors of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) specification versions 1.0 and 1.1. Conforming to the REST constraints is referred to as being 'RESTful'. A RESTful web service (also called a RESTful web API) is a simple web service implemented using HTTP and the principles of REST. It is a collection of resources, with three defined aspects: 1) the base URI for the web service, such as http://example.com/resources/ ; 2) the Internet media type of the data supported by the web service. This is often JSON, XML or YAML but can be any other valid Internet media type; 3) the set of operations supported by the web service using HTTP methods (e.g., POST, GET, PUT or DELETE). (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: RESTful web services)
The verb license or grant licence means to give permission. The noun license (American English) or licence (British English) refers to that permission as well as to the document recording that permission. A license may be granted by a party ("licensor") to another party ("licensee") as an element of an agreement between those parties. A shorthand definition of a license is "an authorization (by the licensor) to use the licensed material (by the licensee)." In particular a license may be issued by authorities, to allow an activity that would otherwise be forbidden. It may require paying a fee and/or proving a capability. The requirement may also serve to keep the authorities informed on a type of activity, and to give them the opportunity to set conditions and limitations. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: License)
Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves or information about themselves and thereby reveal themselves selectively. The boundaries and content of what is considered private differ among cultures and individuals, but share basic common themes. Privacy is sometimes related to anonymity, the wish to remain unnoticed or unidentified in the public realm. When something is private to a person, it usually means there is something within them that is considered inherently special or personally sensitive. The degree to which private information is exposed therefore depends on how the public will receive this information, which differs between places and over time. Privacy partially intersects security, including for instance the concepts of appropriate use, as well as protection, of information. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Privacy)
A modeling language is any artificial language that can be used to express information or knowledge or systems in a structure that is defined by a consistent set of rules. The rules are used for interpretation of the meaning of components in the structure. A modeling language can be graphical or textual. Graphical modeling languages use a diagram technique with named symbols that represent concepts and lines that connect the symbols and represent relationships and various other graphical notation to represent constraints. Textual modeling languages typically use standardized keywords accompanied by parameters to make computer-interpretable expressions. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Modeling language)
|preservation metadata
Preservation metadata is an essential component of most digital preservation strategies. As an increasing proportion of the world's information output shifts from analog to digital form, it is necessary to develop new strategies to preserve this information for the long-term. Preservation metadata is information that supports and documents the digital preservation process. Preservation metadata is sometimes considered a subset of technical or administrative metadata. Preservation metadata stores technical details on the format, structure and use of the digital content, the history of all actions performed on the resource including changes and decisions, the authenticity information such as technical features or custody history, and the responsibilities and rights information applicable to preservation actions. Preservation metadata is access-centered and should accomplish four themes: include details about files and instructions for use; document all updates or actions that have occurred to an object; show provenance and demonstrate current and future custody; list details on the individual(s) who are responsible for the preservation of the object. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Preservation metadata)
Interoperability is a property referring to the ability of diverse systems and organizations to work together (inter-operate). The term is often used in a technical systems engineering sense, or alternatively in a broad sense, taking into account social, political, and organizational factors that impact system to system performance.The IEEE Glossary defines interoperability as: the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Interoperability)
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics (the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can also be applied to any kind of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: CSS)
Technorati is an Internet search engine for searching blogs. By June 2008, Technorati was indexing 112.8 million blogs and over 250 million pieces of tagged social media. The name Technorati is a blend of the words technology and literati, which invokes the notion of technological intelligence or intellectualism. Technorati uses and contributes to open source software. Technorati has an active software developer community, many of them from open-source culture. Sifry is a major open-source advocate, and was a founder of LinuxCare and later of Wi-Fi access point software developer Sputnik. Technorati includes a public developers' wiki, where developers and contributors collaborate, also various open APIs. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Technorati)
Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by and presented to an end-user while being delivered by a streaming provider.[note 1] The name refers to the delivery method of the medium rather than to the medium itself. The distinction is usually applied to media that are distributed over telecommunications networks, as most other delivery systems are either inherently streaming (e.g., radio, television) or inherently non-streaming (e.g., books, video cassettes, audio CDs). The verb 'to stream' is also derived from this term, meaning to deliver media in this manner. Internet television is a commonly streamed medium. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Streaming)
|information architecture
Information architecture (IA) is the art of expressing a model or concept of information used in activities that require explicit details of complex systems. Among these activities are library systems, Content Management Systems, web development, user interactions, database development, programming, technical writing, enterprise architecture, and critical system software design. Information architecture has somewhat different meanings in these different branches of IS or IT architecture. Most definitions have common qualities: a structural design of shared environments, methods of organizing and labeling websites, intranets, and online communities, and ways of bringing the principles of design and architecture to the digital landscape. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Information architecture)
A persistent uniform resource locator (PURL) is a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) (i.e. location-based Uniform Resource Identifier or URI) that is used to redirect to the location of the requested Web resource. PURLs redirect HTTP clients using HTTP status codes. PURLs are used to curate the URL resolution process, thus solving the problem of transitory URIs in location-based URI schemes like HTTP. Technically the string resolution on PURL is like SEF URL resolution. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: PURL)
In computer science and information science, an ontology is a formal representation of knowledge as a set of concepts within a domain, and the relationships between those concepts. It is used to reason about the entities within that domain, and may be used to describe the domain. Its meaning is vastly different from the word Ontology in philosophy. In theory, an ontology is a "formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualisation". An ontology provides a shared vocabulary, which can be used to model a domain - that is, the type of objects and/or concepts that exist, and their properties and relations. Ontologies are the structural frameworks for organizing information and are used in artificial intelligence, the Semantic Web, systems engineering, software engineering, biomedical informatics, library science, enterprise bookmarking, and information architecture as a form of knowledge representation about the world or some part of it. The creation of domain ontologies is also fundamental to the definition and use of an enterprise architecture framework. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Ontology)
Short messages on services such as Twitter, FriendFeed or identi.ca may be tagged by including one or more hashtags: words or phrases prefixed with a hash symbol (#), with multiple words concatenated, such as those in: #RealAle is my favorite kind of #beer Then, a person can search for the string #RealAle and this tagged word will appear in the search engine results. These hashtags also show up in a number of trending topics websites, including Twitter's own front page. Such tags are case-insensitive, with CamelCase often used for readability. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Hashtag)

As I said before, we still have two more Christmas get togethers left so I am still working on some gifts. For a few people I am making White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge (for the recipe check out this post) and I need some pretty boxes to put it in.
I found this pattern and used the basic design to make my own pattern. I just changed the dimensions a bit and added the additional flap on the far left and right to keep the lid from caving in. It took a few minutes to measure out the exact dimensions I wanted but once I had one done it was easy to cut it out and just trace around that template for the remaining boxes. I used white posterboard and traced the pattern onto the dull side so that the shiny side is on the outside of the box.
I then used the scoring attachment on my paper cutter to make it easier to fold.
A few pieces of double sided tape (or glue stick or hot glue) and I have a 5 1/2" wide x 2 1/2" deep x 1 3/4" tall candy box! I just added some ribbon and a label and its good to go.
The nice thing about making your own is that you can make at least six for the same price as one premade box. You can also get the exact dimensions that you want and you can make them in a variety of colors instead of just white.

Officer-involved killings in Westlake and Covina
Officers shot and killed a man in the Westlake area after he allegedly pulled out a handgun.
One victim allegedly pulled a gun after a drunk-driving stop. The other confronted officers after being chased in a stolen car.
By Francisco Vara-Orta, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
9:19 AM PDT, May 13, 2008
Two separate officer-involved shootings early this morning, in Los Angeles and Covina, resulted in fatalities.
In the first incident, California Highway Patrol officers shot and killed a suspected drunk driver who allegedly pulled a gun after a traffic stop west of downtown Los Angeles, said Officer Terry Liu, a spokesperson for the CHP.
The motorist was pulled over about 12:15 a.m. on West 7th Street in the Westlake area, Liu said. When he got out of his vehicle, he pulled out a handgun, he said.
Liu said the officers shot and killed the man in self-defense. The dead man's name was not immediately released.
A passenger in the car was handcuffed and questioned, Liu said. But officers declined to say if the passenger was arrested.
In a separate incident in Covina about 2 a.m., Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies and California Highway Patrol Officers chased a stolen car into an alley near the 100 block of West First Avenue, where gunfire erupted after the driver of the vehicle tried to run over an officer, authorities said.
The male driver was fatally wounded, said Deputy Ed Hernandez of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau. His name was not released.
No deputies or CHP officers were injured, Hernandez said.
Both incidents remain under investigation.
firstname.lastname@example.com courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.

The Wizards waived center Hamady Ndiaye on Tuesday, bringing the number of players on the roster down to 14. Ndiaye, who's known by his teammates and coaches as "H", played in just three games for the Wizards this season.

For each victim, Holmes is charged with one count of premeditated murder and one count of murder with extreme indifference to the value of human life.
Last week, Holmes' attorney said his client would plead guilty immediately in exchange for a life-without-parole sentence. But District Attorney George Brachler rejected that offer and told the court he would be seeking the death penalty instead.
"My determination for James Eagan Holmes - justice is death," Brauchler said.
Trial Set for February 2014
Dressed as "The Joker," Holmes set off two tear gas canisters in the Century 16 theater at a midnight premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises" and began shooting moviegoers. Witnesses said he specifically targeted anyone trying to exit.
He killed 12 people and wounded 58 others. He had ammunition to shot more, but his weapon jammed. He surrendered to police in the parking lot outside the theater.
The trial was originally scheduled for August 5, but after it became a death penalty case, a new judge was appointed. Judge Carlos Samour Jr. set the new trial date for Feb. 3, 2014.

what a waste of money to seek the death penalty. death penalty costs could be spent in much wiser ways than this! the US needs to cut the death penalty and let it go…an eye for an eye doesn't work, it is a fiscal burden in this economy, and killing someone doesn't really do anyone any good unless the killing is done in self defense. Use the death penalty money for victims, community services, police, fire departments, etc.

Sue says," An eye for an eye never works." I agree, but, this is not "an eye for an eye." These are eyes for an eye. This man murdered a dozen innocent ppl and injured many more. Ppl like this do not deserve to live on this planet.

TAHLEQUAH — firstname.lastname@example.com
To help parents of children who are having trouble with speaking, the Stuttering Foundation has donated a DVD to the Eastern Oklahoma District Library System, and that includes the Tahlequah Public Library.
The DVD, "Stuttering and Your Child: Help for Parents," can be checked out to help parents detect stuttering and take action toward helping their child.
"Donations such as these are vital to the library," said Robin Mooney, branch manager for the Tahlequah Public Library. "If they can identify a need and help us meet it, that makes us an even more valuable resource."
Parents are excited when their child first begins to talk, but if a child struggles to speak, it can create anxiety.
As many as 5 percent of preschool children nationwide have repetitions and prolongations of sounds severe enough to worry their parents.
Produced by the nonprofit Stuttering Foundation, the film describes what types of stuttering young children may exhibit, how parents can help, and the role of a speech pathologist in evaluating and treating stutterers.
Speech specialists on the DVD address common concerns parents have about their children, such as how to help a child at home and whether to seek the advice of a speech pathologist. Strategies parents can use are given throughout the DVD and include reducing the number of questions they ask the child; focusing on taking turns during conversations; and making time to read or talk with the child in a relaxed manner.
Books and DVDs are available free to any public library. Libraries can contact the foundation at (800) 992-9392, write to email@example.com, or visit www.stutteringhelp.org or www.tartarmudez.org.
National Stuttering Awareness Week is the second week in May each year. International Stuttering Awareness Day is Oct. 22 annually.
Mooney noted the library offers other titles parents can consult to help their children with speech.
"We have books and informational media on this topic," she said. "We encourage people to visit the library and see what we have to offer."
The Stuttering Foundation recommends seven tips for talking with children who stutter:
1. Speak with the child in an unhurried way, pausing frequently.
2. Reduce the number of questions asked of the child.
3. Parents should use facial expressions and other body language to convey they are listening to the content of the message and not to how the child is talking.
4. Set aside a few minutes at a regular time each day when to give undivided attention to the child.
5. Help all members of the family learn to take turns talking and listening.
6. Parents should observe the ways they interact with their children.
7. Above all, parents should convey that they accept their children as they are.

Air Passenger Duty
Air Passenger Duty (APD) is an excise duty which is charged on the carriage of passengers flying from a United Kingdom airport on an aircraft that has an authorised take-off weight of more than ten tonnes or more than twenty seats for passengers. The duty is not payable by inbound international passengers who are booked[1] to continue their journey (to an international destination) within 24 hours of their scheduled time of arrival in the UK. (The same exemption applies to booked onward domestic flights, but the time limits are shorter and more complex.) If a passenger "stops-over" for more than 24 hours (or the domestic limit, if applicable), duty is payable in full.
As part of the 2008 Pre-Budget Report, Air Passenger Duty was restructured.[2] These new charges take distance into account, making long distance flying significantly more expensive. Critics[3] of APD's claimed environmental credentials point out that the tax takes no account of the efficiency of the aircraft. An airline using an old inefficient plane is treated equally to one using the latest most efficient engines. Charges initially rose on 1 November 2009 and then again on 1 November 2010. Before this, Air Passenger Duty was controversially[4] doubled[5] from 1 February 2007, and the lower rate was extended to all the countries within the Single European Sky. This table summarises the changes:
|Old Rate
|Previous rate
|Feb 2007 - Oct 2009
|European destinations, lowest class
|European destinations, other classes
|Other destinations, lowest class
|Other destinations, other classes
Here, 'European destinations' includes countries in the European Economic Area and certain other European countries.
The distance used to calculate the new rate of APD is the distance between London and the capital city of the destination country as summarised below:
|New Rate
|from Nov 2009
|from Nov 2010
|from Apr 2012
|from Apr 2013
|Band A (0 – 2000 miles)
|Band B (2001 – 4000 miles)
|Band C (4001 – 6000 miles)
|Band D (over 6000 miles)
|Band - From 1 April 2013-31 March 2014
|Reduced Rate – for travel in lowest class available on aircraft*
|Standard Rate – for any other class of travel
|Band A (0 – 2,000 miles)
|Band B (2,001 to 4,000 miles)
|Band C (4,001 to 6,000 miles)
|Band D (Over 6,000 miles)
- If the seating in the lowest class has seats spaced at more than 40 inches then the Standard Rate applies.
Flights from Northern Ireland have been charged at Band A from 1 November 2011. From 1 April 2013, APD was extended to cover flights on "business jets". (Source: Revenue and Customs website – data retrieved 22 July 2012.)
|Band - From 1 April 2014 - 31 March 2015[6]
|Reduced Rate – for travel in lowest class available on aircraft*
|Standard Rate – for any other class of travel
|Band A (0 – 2,000 miles)
|Band B (2,001 to 4,000 miles)
|Band C (4,001 to 6,000 miles)
|Band D (Over 6,000 miles)
The Treasury forecast that the 2007 rise would cut carbon dioxide emissions by about 0.3 million tonnes a year by 2010-2011, and all greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of 0.75 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year,[7] although that has been disputed.[8]
In 2011, the Treasury launched a consultation on potential revisions to Air Passenger Duty. In their consultation they stated "Air passenger duty is primarily a revenue raising duty which makes an important contribution to the public finances, whilst also giving rise to secondary environmental benefits".[9]
Air passenger duty is paid upon booking, but not collected until an occupied seat flies. Should a passenger be unable to fly they have a right to claim the paid tax back from the airline, although many airlines will charge an administrative fee for this service.[10]
A £0 rate of APD applies to flights from Northern Ireland direct to a band B, C or D destination as of 1 November 2011. This is due to Continental Airlines threatening to stop the direct Belfast - Newark flight due to lack of demand because of the tax.[11]
The Chancellors Autumn Statement, on 29 November 2011, announced an 8% increase in UK APD set for April 2012.
The tourist minister of Kenya, Najib Balala, criticised the Air Passenger Duty for hurting tourism and economy in developing countries.[12]
From 2015, the highest APD band will be Band B.[13]

Ok, drove it around for a week and a few days here and there and no code. Then, I go through a drive through today, and it came back on. I think I found my issue that causes it. When I sit in the drive-thru line, I get bored and so I creep up on people's rears and sit there. To make sure I dont move, I put the truck in neutral and push hard on the brake pedal, using one foot to apply even more pressure to the first foot. I think I'm pushing the brake pedal down so hard at that time that some sensor in the brake system goes out of its acceptable range and throws the code. It's the only link/commonality I can find that would explain this...

Belles drop opener
- Last Updated on 08:06 AM 06/24/13
- BY Doug Ford
The Halifax American Belles all-stars couldn't hold on to an early 4-0 lead and fell 7-5 to Charlotte County on Sunday in its rain-delayed Dixie Softball District 7 tournament opener at Mary Bethune Complex in Halifax.
Halifax American and Charlotte County began the game Saturday evening but had to resume play Sunday afternoon after rain made the field unplayable.
Halifax started the game strong with four runs on four hits in its first at-bat.
Faith Lester drew a leadoff walk and Olivia Noblin hit an RBI double before Kennedy Dyer stroked an RBI base hit.
Skye Harlow doubled, Malasia Boyd hit into an RBI groundout and Taylor Jones hit an RBI single to make it 4-0.
Charlotte County collected six hits in the first three innings, scoring two runs in its first at-bat, four runs in the second and one run in the third inning to take a 7-4 lead.
Halifax American rallied in the fourth inning when Sara Moser drew a leadoff walk and Boyd singled but got caught in a rundown.
Jones followed with an RBI hit to cut the deficit to 7-5 after four innings.
Erica Allgood singled in the sixth inning, and Dyer reached base on an error in the seventh inning, but Halifax could draw no closer.
Allgood hurled the first four innings for Halifax American, and Morgan Nelson relieved for the final three innings.
Halifax pitching struck out a total of three batters.

A licensed pharmacist and clinician, James B. LaValle founded LaValle Metabolic Institute in 2001 to help people discover the benefits of integrated health care. To that end, he has teamed up with Dr. Gary Huber (DO) and assembled a team of experienced medical staff to assist patients to educate clients. They administer nutritional consults and Metabolic Code assessments, which analyze metabolic makeup in order to create a personalized plan for health. The clinic also focuses on hormone-replacement therapy, weight loss, stress and sleep support as well as GI issues.
Gary Hopkins can divide his mid-20s in two parts: the time before he discovered self-healing, and the time after he discovered self-healing. Before, overwhelming stress and overworking caused him to suffer from anxiety, insomnia, spinal misalignments, and gout. Then, he started meditating, practicing tai chi and energy healing, and taking natural supplements. Not only did these practices help remedy his ailments, but they also led him to a new career as an intuitive healer. Continuing these studies into his 30s, he added such holistic healing methods as Thai massage and reflexology to his regimen.
For more than 10 years, he's shared his knowledge through a private practice and at Light Path Discovery Center. He is dedicated to helping others conquer physical, psychological, and emotional issues with carefully honed skills and several bodywork methods he developed on his own. For those unable to visit him personally, Gary has penned two books— The Master Within and Axiatonal Integration —that guide readers as they attempt to unlock their happiness, which is usually kept in a safe and buried under their childhood home.
Though Barefoot RnR sometimes offers discounted services online, this Groupon is good for new and existing clients and still offers the best deal available.
With two medical degrees—botanical and naturopathic medicine— and 300 hours of acupuncture practice under his lab coat, Dr. Tommy Ray Thompson, DC takes down a slew of maladies and disorders using the holistic healing powers of detoxifying footbaths and acupuncture sessions. Guests can indulge in ancient acupuncture therapy, in which the steady-handed doc carefully places hair-thin needles along specific corporeal points or "channels." Keen to the subtle pricks, these bodily highways transform into intravenous postmen, sending signals to internal organs via the body's system of carrier pigeons. Each 20-minute session sends tidal waves of relaxation from head to toe while targeting chronic pain and stress.
Though his title of pain-fellowed physician may sound unpleasant, Dr. Frank Lee's expertise is the opposite of inflicting pain. Following medical school, he spent four years working in a hospital and mastering the art of pain management so that he can now pinpoint the root of his patients' discomfort and diffuse it. Dr. Lee works alongside Doctor of Chiropractic Aaron Schrickel at West Chester Pain Management, where they pursue a joint mission to diagnose and treat both acute and chronic spinal pains. Their extensive list of services includes physical rehabilitation, acupuncture, and chiropractic care, which they use to relieve symptoms such as headaches or muscle spasms that only strike at fine-art auctions.
The steady hands of Far Hills Acupuncture's Fritz Froehlich have treated thousands of patients with traditional acupuncture techniques combined with a modern understanding of the body. Froehlich brought his studies to China and South Korea, where he acquired an expertise in Korean acupuncture. Under Korea's masters of acupuncture, he learned a technique that eschews needles for golden and silver pellets. At his clinic, Froehlich helps treat such ailments as chronic headaches, sports injury, and neck injury from attempting to lick pudding off of your elbow.

The Graduate School Announces Its 6th Annual Dissertation Boot Camp, May 13-17, 2013
Need some assistance in scheduling time for your writing? Need a little "kick" to get you going? Think about participating in the Graduate School's Boot Camp– a week-long, all-day program designed to support you in completing your dissertation, run by Dr. Dina Berger, History Department and Dr. Jessica Horowitz, Assistant Dean in the Graduate School. The workshop will run from 9:00 am– 5:00 pm, Monday May 13th – Friday May 17th on the Lake Shore campus in the Information Commons. Lunch is included for all five days.
**Laptops are required.**
You must be able to commit to the entire week, all-day with absolutely no excuses. Although there is no cost to participate in the workshop, we require a $75 down-payment which will be refunded at the successful completion of the week.
Goals of the workshop:
- Participants in this workshop will get a taste of completion while working in a group environment that is meant to be both motivating and supportive.
- Participants will take away the work habit of designating specific time in a day to writing.
- Participants will engage in a schedule and in a writing method that, if practiced well after the workshop, will result in a completed doctorate.
- Participants will come to the workshop prepared to put fingers to keyboards in order to reach a specific goal: complete the dissertation proposal (in draft or final form) or complete a dissertation chapter (in draft or final form).
If interested, you must send to Dr. Jessica Horowitz at firstname.lastname@example.com no later than April 19th:
- One-two paragraphs on your dissertation research (abstract would be fine)
- Where you are currently in your program (time-line of projected completion would be helpful) and in your dissertation process; please include information about committee formation and proposal defense – if you are at that point
- Advisor's letter of support
This workshop is open to all doctoral students from every discipline. If this workshop fills, we will offer a second one in early June.
Questions? Contact Dr. Jessica Horowitz, Assistant Dean at firstname.lastname@example.com

Thanksgiving Day shoppers hit the stores early this year hoping to grab door buster deals and save as much money as possible.
More than 800 people stood in line waiting for the doors to open at 8 p.m. outside of Target in Scottsbluff Thursday night.
Those ahead of the long line said they had been waiting outside for about four hours braving the cold.
When doors opened, shoppers grabbed carts --- many of them heading towards the electronics section.
One woman shared her strategy on how to get the item she wanted.
"I think you have to have a lot of people with you. Like at least 12, get what you need to get and then get out. I mean just have people with you." Said Abby Fernandez of Scottsbluff.
Target Team Leader Scott Marsh says TVs were hottest electronic items to fly off the shelves this year.

RICK SMITH: 300 volunteers set San Angelo's course
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Imagine a San Angelo without Bryant Boulevard. Imagine a San Angelo without Riverside Drive.
Imagine asking more than 300 San Angeloans, all volunteers, to come together and decide the future of the city by spending 18 months studying what the city needs most.
Then, imagine them taking the top eight items on their list and asking voters to OK a $2.33 million (in 1960s money) bond to pay for the improvements.
It happened.
The Citizens Progress Committee included many of the town's movers and shakers. Approved by the City Commission (now called City Council), the group organized in 1960 to "study and plan the city's growth."
The idea was several hundred San Angeloans would put their heads together and "delve into every phase of San Angelo's future needs."
"We are planning to look into both the immediate and long-range future needs of the city," said B.O. Wood, who was pastor emeritus of First Presbyterian Church and chairman of the committee.
The group took its task seriously.
"The future growth of the city depends on the development we make now," Wood told the newspaper.
"Wide-awake, aggressive young people are not going to locate in a stagnant community. Retired people will not move to a city that fails to develop its recreational facility."
The bond vote would be "a decision for or against progress."
The group divided into committees, each group proposing improvements.
They finally whittled the long list down to eight. The city needed more than the eight listed improvements, the group emphasized. But the eight were top priorities.
They included (in no particular order):
Street improvements.
Right-of-way purchases and curb and gutter construction for a new state-constructed north-south thoroughfare (Bryant Boulevard).
A four-lane Chadbourne Street Bridge (the former bridge had two lanes).
A new police station and jail (the present police station).
A fire station in the Alta Loma area.
Sewer extension and repairs.
A Riverside Drive from the North Concho Dam (O.C. Fisher) to Bell Street.
An 18-hole municipal golf course.
The vote took place on Oct. 28, 1961.
"Voters today will cap an 18-month study into San Angelo's present and future needs with a trek to the polls to ballot on a $2,327,000 municipal bond issue," the Standard-Times reported on Oct. 28, 1961.
And what do you think happened?
All but one of the propositions — the golf course — passed.
Now it's hard to imagine San Angelo without Bryant Boulevard or Riverside Drive (which still doesn't quite reach the O.C. Fisher Dam).
"I'm gratified that they passed," Curtis Taulbee, information chairman of the group, told the paper on election night.
"We have felt from the beginning that if we give the voters adequate information a majority of them would vote for these propositions."
Residents still have a direct say in what happens in San Angelo. San Angeloans regularly are appointed to the city's almost two dozen boards.
They help officials make decisions involving everything from public art and parks to downtown development and the River Corridor.
Residents groups regularly step up, hoping to make this city into their vision of a better place.
But 350 of us, meeting in the City Auditorium to discuss what San Angelo needs to spend millions of dollars on? And continuing the process for 18 months?
The Citizens Progress Committee may have been a unique moment in San Angelo history.

Kristen Pulisciano, A North Reading native and 1991 North Reading High School graduate, was at her home in Burlington Thursday night.
Pulisciano, 38, of 23 Forbes Ave., Burlington, was reportedly stabbed by her husband, Christopher Piantedosi. Police are looking for Piantedosi, and say that he may be armed and suicidal.
On Friday morning, North Reading woke up to the tragic news and her friends are still trying to come to grips to the loss.
"She was a very sweet person, I know she was a great mom, even her daughter Bryanna's friends called her mommy. I'm sad cause she was trying really hard to have a better life," Laura Parow, classmate of Kristen's, said. "She had a gentle soul."
Heidi M Govoni-Parsons said, "I grew up in North Reading [and] graduated in '84. I never knew Kristen, but alot of my hometown friends do. RIP Kristen may you find peace at last."
Lynne Nyhan Alley said, "Such a tragedy. I hope the children are safe and getting the attention and protection they need. RIP Kristen."
Annette Burns-Latsha said, "This is a very sad story... hope they find him."

What Off-Season?
There is a great story on mackbrown-texasfootball.com about Colt McCoy and his so-called "off-season." Needless to say he's still a very popular guy.
For the complete story, click here, or see McCoy's quotes from the story below.
"I feel honored for people to ask me to do things like this and speak at certain events and be part of certain things, so I'm excited about that," McCoy said. "At the same time, it's tough to cram it into your schedule when you have a tough schedule during finals and during school. But I feel like being able to do that is part of being a quarterback, it's part of being a Longhorn. It's giving back to the people who support you. It's really important."
"I hadn't really been involved with (The Ministry of Challenge) much before, but I knew what it was about, and I knew of the work they do," McCoy said. "In the future, I will be involved with it. It just shows you how supportive (coach Brown and coach Barnes) are of people who strive to make Austin a better place and to help people who are in need.
"Coach Brown and coach Barnes are always there for us. Their doors are constantly open for us when we have struggles to go and talk to them and work things out. For them, to see Pastor Tony (Johnson) and all the work he does and want to help, it's no wonder we have the best coaches in the nation. The Ministry is a great thing, and it just shows the spirit of everyone."
"I just try to get up there and be myself and talk to them and be a person they can look up to -- a role model," McCoy said. "I'm not perfect, but at the same time, I know they watch the Longhorns play on TV, and they know who all of us are. They look up to us whether we would want them to or not. Being able to be that positive influence, that positive person that can be an example for them, I enjoy that. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes is important. There are a lot of good kids, a lot of young kids who are great Christians and great athletes. Being able to go talk to them and help them is a lot of fun."
"It can be hard because I get asked to do so many things," McCoy admitted. "When I have time and I can fit something in, I usually do it. It's so hard to turn people down, because I hate doing that. I would love to do everything for everybody. When there is an opportunity to do things, especially talking to kids and giving them encouragement and helping them out with problems they're facing, I feel like that's part of giving back and part of what God has blessed me with in order to be able to give back to them."

DANVILLE — School district officials are researching what advantages district-sponsored cyber classes could bring to students.
"We're looking into that," said Danville school board President Allan Schappert.
Superintendent Cheryl Latorre and school board member Joseph Stemm also support looking into online classes as an option, Schappert said.
"There's a whole host of reasons. Some kids just don't learn well in a traditional classroom, there are too many distractions," he said.
Parents in other parts of the country have used cyber schools as an option because they are worried about bullies. It could also provide an alternative for expelled or suspended students to continue their educations, or to provide basic-level instruction that doesn't require the time of a teacher, he said.
Lessons that largely require memorization, such as multiplication tables, could be better suited for online classes so that class time can be saved to review more complex lessons and assignments, Schappert said.
Dawn Brookhart, Danville's curriculum and technology director, agreed that a cyber program would help district students.
"It would certainly allow us to supplement our own curriculum," she said. "It allows students to have a hybrid learning model."
A middle school student, for example, who placed excelled math would not have to transfer to the high school away from their classmates, but could instead take more advanced math courses online, Brookhart said.
World language study could also benefit, she said.
Supplemental online courses could be completed in a computer lab or with a laptop at the school library, Brookhart said. Danville has just under 2,400 children in its school district, said Schappert, and roughly 40 to 60 each year attend cyber schools.
"We want to give our kids every advantage. We're also cognizant of cost," Schappert said.
In some cases, a computer-based class may be cost-effective as it cuts down on supplies needed by a teacher and allows an instructor to handle a larger number of students.
"The existing cyber schools have fallen far short of their promise, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad idea," Schappert said.
Pennsylvania's 12 charter cyber schools are "very poor, in terms of having their students reach AYP (adequate yearly progress)," Brookhart said. When the state cyber schools are taken as a whole, only 40 percent of their students graduate at state proficiency for subjects such as reading and math, she said.
A 13th state cyber school, Frontier Virtual Charter High School, surrendered its charter in July, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Education's website.
Offering cyber programs could also increase Danville's revenue by luring back students who had left for the web.
While the district is usually reimbursed by the state for each student who attends its schools, Danville receives no money for the students living in the area who attend cyber schools. Last year, those students attending online classes could have netted the district about $340,000 if they went to Danville, said Brookhart.
There is not yet a price tag on the project because it is still in an exploratory phase.
While Danville's cyber program is still conjecture, it does provide the district with a fresh way of looking at education, Schappert said. "Sometimes when you think you're in a groove, you're really in a rut."

A funny money case took up some of the Gilroy Police Department's time on Tuesday.
At 5:44 p.m., Rachel Estella Duenas Ortiz attempted to withdraw $1,800 from her account at Wells Fargo inside Nob Hill Foods on First Street in Gilroy. When she tried the transaction, she was told her account had been frozen because the money had been stolen.
Four days earlier, an $1,800 check stolen from Morgan Hill was deposited into Ortiz's account at an ATM machine. According to Gilroy Police Sgt. Pedro Espinoza, Ortiz, 28, claims that "a friend of a friend used her ATM card to deposit it into her account."
Ortiz claimed that she didn't know the check was stolen, Espinoza said.
When police arrived at Nob Hill, Ortiz told them that two other people who she referred to only as "Eric and Janelle" were the ones that asked her to withdraw the $1,800 that day.
She was arrested and booked on charges of conspiracy and insufficient funds.

Over winter break, Millie Gonzalez '11 (New York, N.Y.) got a hands-on look at what it takes to produce a day-time talk show. Gonzalez, a psychology and English double major, took part in an externship hosted by Kara Boodakian '07, the features manager for The Nate Berkus Show.
Berkus is an award-winning design expert and New York Times best-selling author, who was a regular contributor to The Oprah Winfrey Show from 2002-2010, prior to starting his own show last fall. Gonzalez observed Boodakain in the show's studio and control room, seeing how a field shoot works – from speaking with guests and having them sign releases to setting up equipment, communicating with crews, and actually doing the shoot itself – and learning what makes Boodakian's department run smoothly.
"This experience allowed me to get the inside scoop on what it takes to manage a group of creative individuals and what a typical day can be like for someone in the world of television," explains Gonzalez. "This externship allowed me to view the world of television from an inside perspective, an opportunity which a lot of students don't get."
Gonzalez also learned what goes into taping a show and making it entertaining to an audience. "It was very eye opening. At one point I helped with the timing of a segment for the show and was able to see the show being recorded in front of me," says Gonzalez.
Boodakian thinks that these shadowing experiences can be very valuable for college students. "It's important to get off of College Hill every now and then and see where a Lafayette education and work ethic can bring you. It's also a really great way to get a taste for certain job atmospheres and make a connection with an alum," she explains.
Gonzalez thinks this experience has been particularly interesting because of her majors. "I am interested in psychology and English because they are very beneficial to communication," she says. "My externship has further solidified the concept of keeping my options open for employment after graduation. I may have never looked into television if it weren't for this."
Boodakian says, "Externships are a great way to stay connected with the College that gave me such wonderful experiences. I still keep in touch with mentors of mine from Lafayette, so the best way I know to pay it forward is to be a mentor to the next student."
