Finally Some Good News for Atheists and Agnostics – They Still Know More About Religion Than Their Religious Counterparts

through bilateral trading contracts. (For the full explanation, see Comments of ISO New England, pp. 10-14.)
ISO-NE admits that its model is still a work-in-progress, but says it can use this method even to calculate the benefits of extending full nodal LMP pricing ("dynamic pricing") to individual loads.
In fact, it estimates that over a five-year period, dynamic pricing for loads of 1 MW or greater (what is now enjoyed only by power producers on the supply side) could bring benefits of $340, at a cost of only $6.7 million a year, "at most."

Following confirmation that —originated at the Salton Sea, a Riverside County supervisor today called on the governor and lawmakers to "step aside" and permit local restoration of the sea to move ahead.
"At this point, the sea is receding, the ecosystem is dying, and the air is becoming increasingly noxious," said Supervisor Marion Ashley, who serves as chairman of the Salton Sea Authority. "In spite of these growing problems, the state refuses to lead the restoration planning effort or yield the lead to local authorities, (who) are committed to developing a feasible action plan."
Ashley released a two-page statement that began with a warning that the sulphuric fumes that wafted across Riverside County into the Los Angeles Basin Sunday night and Monday would be "nothing" compared to what might emanate from the sea in the future.
"As the sea recedes, plagues of powdery air-borne dust are destined to descend upon the residents of Southern California, choking people, pets and plant life," Ashley said. "While the solutions will require capital investment and ongoing expense, doing nothing is the most costly of all options."
According to the South Coast Air Quality Management District, which monitors pollution levels in the region, of decaying organic matter, including dead plants and sea life, resulting in elevated levels of hydrogen sulfide.
Thunderstorms over the low desert moved west, carrying the malodor with them.
The AQMD said there was no health threat posed by the fumes.
According to Ashley, the experience serves as a "pungent reminder" of why the Salton Sea Authority, a quasi-regulatory body made up of officials from Riverside and Imperial counties, should be freed to take charge of a tentative "restoration action plan" conceived more than six years ago.
"Let us take the lead. That's all I'm saying," Ashley told City News Service. "The Salton Sea Authority can form public-private partnerships and get this thing done. Just give us a chance ... The state has the expertise and knowledge, environmental and otherwise, that we need. So we should move forward together. But the chief decision-maker should be the authority.
"Public health and safety risks continue to grow as the receding Salton Sea shoreline imperils the environmental and economic health of the region."
The 365-square-mile sea -- the largest part of which lies in Imperial County, with the north portion stretching to within a few miles of Thermal -- has been plagued with increasing salinity over the last 40 years, to the point that some of the sea's deeper places are saltier than the ocean.
Moreover, according to studies, nutrient compounds from agricultural runoff have created a "eutrophic" condition where high levels of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia kill fish and produce gagging odors.
Water reclamation plans by local agencies and Mexico, as well as a reduction of Colorado River supplies, will shrink the sea in the coming years, according to the Salton Sea Authority.
Ashley said the state has been aware of the sea's precarious condition for decades and came up with a $9 billion strategy to preserve the century-old body of water, where some 400 bird species congregate annually during their winter and spring flights. However, despite local agencies setting aside $133 million for a mitigation effort, the Legislature has failed to commit any funds.
The supervisor noted that the most recent budget signed by Gov. Jerry Brown abolished the Salton Sea Restoration Council, which existed in name only but had been established to identify a process by which to begin restoration .
Ashley complained about the governor vetoing a bill sponsored by Assemblyman Manuel Perez, D-Indio, that would have allocated $2 million for a "feasibility study" of current restoration plans.
The supervisor said the state didn't even have to draw down its own accounts for that; it could have used funds already provided by local agencies.
"It is time for the state to step aside and yield the reins to the Salton Sea Authority, the local entity that is committed to resolving this issue of critical concern to all who hope to breathe freely in a healthy environment and strong economy," Ashley said.

Hernandez dominant as M's beat Angels 3-2
SEATTLE (AP) — Kendrys Morales snapped a 2-all tie with a pinch-hit RBI single in the seventh inning, Felix Hernandez allowed just one earned run and five hits over eight innings, and the Seattle Mariners beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 on Saturday night.
The Mariners were 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position and suffering through another miserable night without clutch hitting before Morales' line-drive single off reliever Michael Roth that scored Kyle Seager with the go-ahead run. Jesus Montero hit a two-run homer in the sixth inning for Seattle to pull the Mariners even.
That was all Hernandez (3-2) needed. He stumbled only in the third inning when Chris Iannetta led off with a solo homer and the Angels added an unearned run. Hernandez won at home for the first time this season.
Mariners 3B coach Datz announces cancer diagnosis
SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mariners third-base coach Jeff Datz says he has been diagnosed with cancer and might be away from the team for part of the season.
Datz told Mariners' players during a team meeting on Saturday afternoon and later released a written statement. Datz said he's still in the process of making decisions on treatment and he might have to miss some games. Datz said he released the statement because he doesn't want his absence to be a distraction. He declined further comment until decisions on timing and treatment have been made.
The type of cancer was not disclosed.
The 53-year-old Datz is in his third season with the Mariners. He previously worked on coaching staffs with Baltimore and Cleveland. As a player, Datz reached the majors only once, playing in seven games with Detroit in 1989.
Wallace lifts Timbers past Sporting KC, 3-2
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Rodney Wallace scored in the 58th minute, lifting the Portland Timbers to a 3-2 victory over Sporting Kansas City on Saturday night.
Ryan Johnson had a goal and an assist for Portland (3-1-4), which extended its unbeaten streak to six matches and has won three of its last four. Wallace's winner came off an assist from Diego Chara.
Chance Myers scored the first two goals of his career for Sporting (4-3-2), including the third-fastest score in club history, but it wasn't enough to keep Kansas City from taking back-to-back losses for the first time this season.
Myers' first goal, off Matt Besler's long throw-in, came 40 seconds into the match. It was the earliest score ever at Sporting Park, which opened in 2011.
Johnson equalized with a header in the 24th minute, but Myers made it 2-1 in the 29th with a tap-in off assists from Aurelien Collin and Benny Feilhaber. Four minutes later, Johnson drew out keeper Jimmy Nielsen with a run into the box and crossed to Darlington Nagbe for an easy finish that made it 2-2.
Seahawks select WR Chris Harper in fourth round
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The fifth round of the NFL draft will again be a focal point for the Seattle Seahawks as they selected Alabama defensive tackle Jesse Williams, LSU cornerback Tharold Simon and Rice tight end Luke Willson on Saturday.
Williams is a big tackle who can play multiple positions along Seattle's defensive front. Willson is an athletic tight end the Seahawks believe can stretch the field in the passing game.
But it was the pick of Simon, just two days after he arrested in his hometown of Eunice, La., that may be the most intriguing.
Simon was arrested Thursday night on charges of public intimidation, resisting an officer and a noise violation. Simon said a series of misunderstandings and an overzealous police officer led to his arrest.
Seattle selected Kansas State wide receiver Chris Harper in the fourth round and their second running back of the draft in LSU's Spencer Ware in the sixth.
Colts take S Boyett from Oregon
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis has selected Oregon safety John Boyett in the 6th round of the NFL draft.
The 5-foot-9, 204 pound Boyett is the first Colts pick outside the offensive or defensive line.
The 192 overall pick Saturday spent three full seasons with the Ducks and appeared in just one game during his senior season after having season-ending surgery to repair injuries to the knee.
Indy selected defensive end Bjoern Werner, offensive linemen Hugh Thornton and Khaled Holmes, and defensive tackle Montori Hughes with their first four picks.
Panthers added RB Barner in 6th round of NFL draft
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Panthers have selected Oregon running back Kenjon Barner with their sixth-round pick in the NFL draft.
Barner hails from the same school as current Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart, a first-round pick out of from Oregon in 2008.
The 5-foot-9, 196-pound Barner ran for 1,767 yards as a senior, the second-highest total in school history and the tenth-highest in Pac-12 Conference annals. He scored 23 touchdowns last season, 21 of those on the ground.
In the 36 games prior to his senior season Barner amassed 3,825 all-purpose yards, averaging 9 yards per touch.
He joins a crowded backfield in Carolina that includes Stewart, DeAngelo Williams and Mike Tolbert.
Eagles select CB Jordan Poyer in 7th round
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles have selected Oregon State cornerback Jordan Poyer with their second of three seventh-round picks.
Poyer was chosen Saturday with the 218th overall selection. Poyer is listed at 6-feet and 191 pounds.
Poyer intercepted seven passes, returning one for a touchdown, as a senior and was an Associated Press first-team All-American.
Poyer also played baseball in high school and was drafted by the Florida Marlins in the 42nd round as an outfielder.
Typical Oregon offense in first spring after Kelly
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Marcus Mariota threw for 169 yards and two touchdowns and the Oregon offense looked as potent as ever in the Ducks' first spring game under new coach Mark Helfrich.
Bralon Addison had eight catches for 136 yards, Mariota completed 13-of-15 passes and the White team defeated the Green team 65-10 Saturday.
Oregon went strictly with an offense (white) vs. defense (green) format because of nagging injuries piling up.
The scoring system heavily favored the offense, admitted Helfrich, the former offensive coordinator who took in mid-January when Chip Kelly left for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Still, the offenses put up nine touchdowns and 802 yards up against a defense that essentially knew what was coming.

Maxon Creek State Forest
View Maxon Creek State Forest Map || View Same Map in PDF (193 kB) || Google Earth || State Lands Interactive Mapper
Maxon Creek State Forest (Cortland #8), sometimes referred to as Pease Hill, encompasses 908 acres and is located in the town of Cuyler in Northeastern Cortland County. While there are few trails located in the forest, the primitive setting provides excellent opportunities to experience the joys of nature.
Article 9, Titles 5 and 7, of the Environmental Conservation Law authorizes the Department of Environmental Conservation to manage lands acquired outside of the Adirondack and Catskill Parks. Management, as defined by these laws, includes watershed protection, the production of timber and other forest products, recreation and kindred purposes.
The land where Maxon Creek State Forest is located was originally cleared and farmed by European settlers and Revolutionary War Veterans. However, the upland soils of the Allegheny Plateau are thin, relatively steep, and acidic. As such, the ground is not fit for intensive farming. When combined with harsh winters and a short growing season, it is easy to understand why farmers abandoned these lands in pursuit of greener pastures in the Midwest. Most of the land was purchased by the state for reforestation between 1933 and 1963, with an additional purchase made in 1974.
The Truxton Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp S-118 hand planted over 222,350 trees in the area between 1936 and 1941. An additional 295,800 trees were planted by the DeRuyter CCC in 1935, and the Department of Environmental Conservation planted more than 18,000 trees in 1962. The planting of trees under the State Reforestation Act and Hewitt Amendment provided new jobs for hundreds of young men, and the future forests would yield products and services that would benefit both wildlife and society for generations to come.
Field Notes
A variety of different cover types envelop the land, including northern hardwoods, northern hardwood-hemlock, Japanese larch, Norway spruce, red pine and white cedar. Within this secluded forest setting, one can find a diverse collection of wildlife and plant species. As there are few developed trails throughout the forest, it is a perfect place to enjoy hunting, nature viewing, and bird watching within a wild and rustic setting.
The forest is also home to four small streams, which altogether total 2.4 miles in length and are a part of the East Branch of the Tioughnioga River Watershed.
Maxon Creek State Forest is part of the Cuyler Hill Unit Management Plan. A Unit Management Plan (UMP) guides the DEC's land management activities on several geographically related forests for a ten-year period, although a number of goals and objectives in the plan focus on a much longer time period. Each UMP addresses specific objectives and actions for public use and forest management.
Currently, Maxon Creek State Forest offers an estimated 1.8 miles of the Finger Lakes Hiking Trails that cross through the forest.
***Stay Safe- Bring A Friend When Out on the Trails***
Maxon Creek State Forest may be accessed by taking NY Route 13 to Crains Mills Road. Head south about 0.4 miles until Pease Hill Road. Travel southeast on Pease Hill Road for about 1.0 mile into Maxon Creek State Forest, then proceed about 0.6 miles further to the Maxon Creek Public Forest Access Road; this is a dead end road that runs westward for 1 mile. Parking is available from the shoulder of the road, however, it is limited.
State Forest Regulations
Anyone enjoying the use of this State Forest must observe the following rules which protect them and the forest environment:
- Do not litter. Carry out what you carry in. Burying of refuse is prohibited.
- If you build a fire, do so with care and use wood from dead and downed trees only. Never leave a fire unattended. Three foot radius must be cleared around fire.
- All motorized vehicles are restricted to access roads posted as motor vehicle trails. Off road use of motorized vehicles, such as, trail bikes and four-wheel drives is not allowed, except where specifically permitted by signs, posted notice or by DEC Permit.
- Camping for more than three nights or in a group of ten or more requires a permit from a Forest Ranger. Camping is prohibited within 150 feet of water, roads or trail.
- Permanent structures, including tree stands or blinds, are not allowed.

Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.The generally accepted rule is that "great" software developers are ten times more productive than merely "average" developers. With most startups failing, you need every edge you can get. Kieran O'Neill, founder of Playfire, offers three essential tips to hiring those greats, taken from the trenches of three successful tech startups.1. The best developers have hundreds of options, so you need to make your company an attractive place for them to work. That means equity stakes, interesting technical challenges, creating a culture where developers are the rockstars, time to hack on personal projects and freedom to choose whichever languages or frameworks they want.2. Try to open-source code you write which can be useful to other people as it raises awareness of your company among open-source developers, many of whom are the "great" engineers you're after.3. You need to have a bigger vision. The best developers are attracted to startups with inspirational missions such as improving healthcare. Identify this mission and constantly reinforce it throughout your job advert and interview process.

Sahana FOSS Disaster Management System
|The factual accuracy of parts of this article (those related to article) may be compromised due to out-of-date information. (October 2012)
|Sahana Software Foundation
|Stable release

|Written in
|PHP, Javascript, Perl, HTML, Python
|Operating system

|Available in

|Disaster Management System
|LGPL and MIT
The Sahana Free and Open Source Disaster Management System was conceived during the 2004 Sri Lanka tsunami. The system was developed to help manage the disaster and was deployed by the Sri Lankan government's Center of National Operations (CNO), which included the Center of Humanitarian Agencies (CHA). A second round of funding was provided by the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA). The project has grown, with deployments during other disasters such as the Asian Quake in Pakistan (2005), Southern Leyte Mudslide Disaster in Philippines (2006) and the Jogjakarta Earthquake in Indonesia (2006).
Sahana currently has three projects: Eden, being developed in Python; Agasti, being developed in PHP; and the localization project, L10n.
The Sahana project aims to provide a set of modular, web-based disaster management applications.
- Missing Person Registry: An online bulletin board of missing and found people. It captures information about the people missing and found, and also the information of the person seeking them.
- Organization Registry: A collaborative "Who is doing what, where" tool which enables tracking of the relief organizations and other stakeholders working in the disaster region. It captures information about the places where each organisation is active and the range of services being provided.
- Request/Pledge Management System: An online repository where all relief organizations, relief workers, government agents and camps can effectively match requests of aid and supplies to pledges of support. It tracks aid provision from request to fulfillment.
- Shelter Registry: Keeps track of the location and basic data of shelters in the region. It also provides a geospatial view to plot the location of the camps in the affected area.
- Inventory Management: Tracking the location, quantities, expiry of supplies stored for utilization in a disaster
- Situation Awareness: Gives an overview of the event and allows people to add information on what is happening on the ground. It features the ability to plot a note and a photo with additional information on a Map, so that people can collaboratively capture the current disaster situation.
- Volunteer coordination: Helps NGOs keep track of all their volunteers, their contact information, project allocation, availability and skills to help them distribute staff resources.
Sahana also includes tools for synchronization between multiple instances, allowing for responders or district offices to capture data on victims in the field and exchange the data with the other field offices, headquarters or responders.
Historic Trigger[edit]
The tsunami that hit Sri Lanka on December 26, 2004, resulted in a massive outpouring of support for the relief of the nearly one million people that it affected. The Sahana was created for information management and collaboration in the aftermath.[1]

- Floods in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Croatia 2014 - Deployed and localized into Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian.
Humanitarian-FOSS Community[edit]
Sahana has developed into a community founded by a humanitarian consultant, Paul Currion, and the Sahana project lead, Chamindra de Silva. Much of their work is based on the more generic ideals of Humanitarian-FOSS, where the ideals of FOSS are applied for building humanitarian-ICT applications or applications built to help alleviate human suffering. The community consists of a mailing list and an active wiki with membership including Emergency Management practitioners, Humanitarian Consultants, Crisis Management Academics and Free and Open Source developers from around the world. Domain representation in this group includes members from ISCRAM, UNDP, Red Cross, IBM, Saravodaya (largest NGO in Sri Lanka), Australian Fire Services, etc.
They have been recognized by the Free Software Foundation (FSF), where it inspired a new FSF Award for Projects of Social Benefit, which is broader in coverage than humanitarian-FOSS and by the UNDP IOSN on their Humanitarian-FOSS Portal.[2]
The Sahana Project has resulted in independent research projects. Professor Louiqa Raschid of the University of Maryland is leading/guiding a team in Sahana and Disaster Management research.
Sahana has been presented at numerous conferences/workshops/events and already has one paper accepted for an international conference. A paper on Sahana and Disaster Management was accepted for the 2nd International Conference on Information and Automation 2006.[3] Due to the lack of previous research in ICT for Disaster Management, research has played a key role in Sahana's development.[4]
Sahana is also a participating project in Google Summer of Code.

Friday, 18th March
Activists started the day by going to BlackRock at 33 King William Street, London EC4R 9AS. (Tel: 0800 445 522), the largest equity investor in AstraZeneca where a loud and visual protest was held outside their offices to highlight BlackRock for investing in animal abuse at HLS. One employee even said that he wasn't bothered about AstraZeneca colluding to keep cheap drugs off the market and suppress test data to hide side effects! Shows you the sort of mentality of people that work at BlackRock? You will learn compassion is not a dirty word, but something everyone should be!
We then met up with more activists near Bank tube and moved onto Aviva Investors at 1 Poultry, London EC2R 8EJ. (Tel: 020 7809 6000 and 0800 0154 773), part owners of AstraZeneca's building at 2 Kingdom Street near Paddington. As landlords of AstraZeneca, Aviva Investors are well aware of AstraZeneca's sordid track record of animal cruelty, suppression of test data, lying about side effects of their drugs, tax evaders, over charging doctors for their drugs, etc (the list goes on...) - surely not the sort of company they should deal with? The offices went into lock down with staff being ushered out the back of their building for their lunch - how embarrassing! There was a lot of interest during the busy lunchtime protest, with passers by asking what Aviva Investors, AstraZeneca and HLS do for them to warrant such protests.
Then we went further west to Axa Investor Managers, 7 Newgate Street London, EC1A 7NX (Tel: 020 7003 1000). Axa are an institutional and equity investor of AstraZeneca who rub shoulders with the RSPCA to pretend they care about animals, while at the same time investing in horrific, unnecessary animal abuse at HLS. After an hour activists went back east to near Bank tube again and Axa's UK HQ, at 5 Old Broad Street, London EC2N 1AD (Tel: 020 7920 5900) to continue our message to them - either come clean about being liars and hypocrites or actually follow 'your' ethical policy and stop investing in abuse and torture at the multiple exposed HLS. Axa seemed to be quite ashamed of their unethical investment and closed all their doors into their building making it very hard for their visitors and employees to come and go. We wonder what they all made of it?
Final stop of the day was Invesco, at 30 Finsbury Square, London, EC2A 1AG (Tel: 020 7065 4000), a large equity investor of AstraZeneca and GSK, (both HLS customers who pay for cruel 'experiments' there). The police and Invesco's security made the demo more visual and helped attract more attention to Invesco's dirty dealings. With two passers by making comments about what a greedy, scummy company there are! Sounds like you are well known already Invesco! You can not hide away from your moral responsibilities and we urge you to stop your investments of these immoral, cruel and abusing companies that harm humans and animals alike.
Until all are free

The music industry has always had a knack for producing antonyms. The serene psychedelia of The Beatles found its raucous counterpoint in The Rolling Stones, Heavy Metal uncovered its heart in the emo scene and now the Irish Singer/Songwriters have discovered their Darkside in Robyn Shiels. As the sugar-coated sentiments of modern pop saturate the airwaves, Shiels' melancholic musings will bring you back to reality like an insulin shot to the heart.
Shiels' minimalistic style reduces country music to its elements, finding a melodic middle ground between Will Oldham and Johnny Cash. His distinctive sound reinforces the redemptive power of music and suggests perhaps it is better to be miserable then feel nothing at all. Never one to shy away from the sombre side of life, Shiels returns this year with a collection of songs as reflective as a mirror at a narcissists' anonymous meeting. The aptly titled The Great Depression delves deep into the recesses of the soul, reliving those archetypal moments of despair that have affected us all. Shiels' songs explore the twilight of waking life; those solitary moments where light and darkness interweave creating a grey area of calm introspection.
When We Were Brothers" opens proceedings with an arresting soliloquy that sets the pace for the remaining tracks. In his lugubrious lilting tone, Shiels laments "shot a man who was not there/the bad moon follows me everywhere". The story unfolds like a narrative of nocturnal life, recalling memories long since locked away in the cellar of the human soul. The story paints a picture of an aged raconteur retelling his grand, nostalgic tale from the alcove of a rural Irish bar. The shuffling rhythm of the chorus lends a little optimism to the track while the female backing vocals provide a silver lining; enveloping the frayed edges of Shiels' sorrowful experiences.
Standout track The Love of an Honest Man marks a move towards a more traditional full band set up with Shiels incorporating electric guitars and a full acoustic kit into his sound. The track highlights Shiels' skill as a composer with each instrument adding a new, yet understated colour to his erstwhile solemn palette. The restrained guitar riff harmonises with the main vocal line, while the brush-stroked drums provide the punctuation for his forlorn tale.
The slow burning lament Look What You've Done serves as the perfect soundtrack to an emotional breakup, freezing you in a mournful moment in time while the rest of the world carries on undeterred. While certainly not a mood elevator, the song reveals a series of arresting and illuminating images that are beautiful in their simplicity. The track delves into the narrator's sense of despair in the hope of locating some measure of clarity.
This sought-after ray of light materialises in the twelve-string twang of the Latest Greatest Comedienne; a laid back eulogy bordering on the upbeat. Once again, the saintly female backing vocals provide a fitting counterpoint to Shiels' strained melodies. The track's elementary verse/chorus structure situates it firmly in the folk tradition and recalls the earlier output of Dylan.
Shiels strips his sound down to its component parts on closing track Hell is; leaving the lyrics as its focal point. Delivered in a nasal tone, the track bears more than a passing resemblance to the melancholic croon of indie outfit Deer Tick. The song features a haunting whistling solo that adds an ethereal air to Shiels' rudimentary style. Like the humble Ferryman, Shiels will be your faithful companion in the purgatory of waking life. And while The Great Depression does little to alter one's mood, this contemplative collection will guide you through those troubled waters towards the light of an approaching dawn.

Every should have a home inspection.
want to know that there are no major defects in the home they are buying - no one likes hidden surprises. But here's the thing. Unless you are buying new construction, do not expect the home to be perfect. All homes have ongoing maintenance requirements that are a part of home ownership. There are bound to be some small issues in every home, no matter how well maintained. If you expect a perfectly clean bill of health, you are sure to be disappointed.
The home inspector will point many items out to you and to be sure, they are items you will want to consider repairing. Do not assume, however, that the Seller will repair every matter brought up by the home inspector. When you decide on an purchase price, your will take in to account the condition of the home when determining price. The things you know about should be considered in your price. In other words, if you know the roof is 20-years-old, and settle on a price accordingly, do not expect to come back after the home inspection and ask for money off because the roof is old.
The things I look for are things we did not know about that are health, safety or major expense issues not previously considered. Are there structural issues? Is there something wrong with the electrical box or wiring? Did the inspector find termites? Maybe there is a major system is not working? To be sure, I want my buyers to be satisfied with the condition of the house and have the opportunity to either walk away or get items repaired.
Home inspectors can give you a lot of good information about home maintenance and ways to improve your home's condition going forward. It does not necessarily mean that the Seller will do all that work for you.
It can be scary and overwhelming to hear a home inspector give a long list of items that should be addressed. Having realistic expectations going into the inspection makes things easier. Take some time to consider the price you are paying and the condition you thought the house was in at time of offer. Then you can make a decision about whether to move forward or if there are adjustments or repairs warranted.
Just do not expect the house to be perfect.

Nothing was apparently stolen during a burglary in the 1400 block of Monroe Turnpike Saturday, but the victim was left with a broken door and a lost sense of security.
Police said the homeowner went shopping for a couple of hours and returned home at around 1:28 p.m. to find that her side door had been kicked in — breaking part of the frame. But the house was not ransacked and nothing appeared to have been taken, according to the report.
A bedroom was entered, police said, adding the victim told officers she did not have cash, jewelry or prescriptions that someone would want to steal.
Police said the exterior screen door on the side of the house was unlocked, but that the door behind it was locked and had to be forced open by the intruder.

Hey, everybody, got a great show for you today! Our guest is Keith Goldman and he builds amazing LEGO dioramas. Today's show is an enhanced podcast so you'll get to see his dioramas on your iPad, iPhone, iPod or on iTunes and see for yourself how amazing they are.
Come to think of it, you might have already seen dioramas based on the Logan's Run movie last week on the web on blogs like Make and io9, which is how I found out about Keith.
I think the reason why people got so excited about Keith's LEGO Logan's Run diorama is because they combine to magical elements: LEGOs and Logan's Run.
LEGOs are magical because you can build your own toys and create your own stories around them. And then you can take them apart and create something new. And while there seems like an infinite combination of things you can make with LEGOs you're also challenged with building within the constraints of LEGOs plastic bricks, and that's part of the fun, too.
And Logan's Run?
If you recall, that was a movie where people lived in a domed city that was I'm complete ecological harmony but was essentially a shiny mall. Everyone was attractive and were complete hedonists. The only drawback to this utopia was that you had to die when you turned 30.
Some people didn't want to die and wanted to escape to a place called Sanctuary where they could live out the rest of their lives. These people were called runners and the people who hunted them down were called Sandmen. And one Sandman, Logan, our titular hero, decides to run with our heroinn, Jessica, which takes them outside the domed city to the real world.
Looking back Logan's Run seems kind of cheesy but there's a lot going on in that movie. Logan's Run is a retelling of the Garden of Eden story, but in reverse. Logan and Jessica are Adam and Eve who are kept infantilized in an artificial paradise. It's only until they flee into nature that they become adults and can have a mature relationship with each other.
Logan's Run can also be seen as a story about how civilization flattens us as individuals to better fit in a society. Logan's Run can also be seen as a retelling of Plato's cave story. When Logan returns from the natural world to the domed city to tell people that they don't have to die, that there is a world beyond the domed city, he, like the character from Plato's story, is regarded as crazy and a threat to their comfortable illusions.
Like a said there's a lot going on.
And finally, as fake as the domed city looks in comparison to our CGI generated movies, I wanted to live in that world. By sheer force of imagination that world became real to me as a kid, and that's kind of what it's like building with LEGOs.
And that brings us back to Keith. So let's go talk to him.
Songs heard on today's show:
- The Daisy Riots "Girls Don't Play Lego"

BRP To Produce Specialized Motorised Vehicles
"This decision allows us to first assemble gasoline-powered vehicles with specific requirements from our existing products for which we already have orders from the Middle East," José Boisjoli, president and CEO, said. ''We will also make the most of the technologies developed at the Centre de technologies avancées BRP-University de Sherbrooke (CTA) and produce zero emission electric vehicles."
One of the specialized products being assembled at this new facility, the prototype of the Can-Am Commander electric side-by-side vehicle, was introduced in Montréal last summer during Club BRP. In light of the reaction from dealers, distributors and the media from around the world, BRP is going ahead with marketing and selling the Can-Am Commander electric side-by-side vehicle.
"We will be using the same marketing and distribution
strategy that we used for our Can-Am Spyder roadster," Mihai Rasidescu,
vice-president, Specialized Vehicles Group, said. "We will recruit from
within our existing dealer network to develop the business and gradually expand
as market demand grows. We will go out in phases and, starting July 1, 2012,
the Can-Am Commander electric side-by-side vehicle will be on sale at some BRP dealers

Comcast Corp. said its cable systems will stop accepting ads for guns or from retail outlets promoting gun sales as part of a new policy.
A spokesman for the nation's largest cable operator said the approach is similar to one its entertainment unit NBCUniversal has for its broadcast TV stations. The moves come in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting that left 26 people dead.

Grilled Pork Chops with Peaches, Mango & Pineapple
Posted By Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom On August 19, 2013 @ 5:00 pm In Grill,Pork,Recipes | No Comments
This meal is inspired by 2 things…
Pork chops do really well with applesauce, and with grilled peaches…and now we can add pineapple and mango to the mix as well. We really enjoyed the "grilled fruit salsa" and these pork chops!
Simple is good…and this is a really good simple recipe for your next grill-out!
Grilled Pork Chops with Peaches, Mango & Pineapple
Yield – 4 servings
Preparation Time – 10 minutes
Cooking Time – 15 minutes
- 4 pork chops, seasoned with salt and pepper
- 2 small mangoes, cut into chunks
- 1/2 pineapple, cut into chunks
- 2 small peaches, seeded and cut into chunks
- Cinnamon
- Grilled garlic bread [8] or veggie side dish (we had corn!)
- Grill the seasoned pork chops until no longer pink in the middle, or reaches an internal temp of 160. Let rest for 3 minutes.
- In a grill basket [9], toss together the mango, pineapple and peach chunks with a couple dashes of cinnamon.
- Grill along side the pork chops, for about 8-10 minutes, tossing often, or until slightly softened.
- Serve the Grilled Pork Chops with Peach, Mango & Pineapple over the top, along with veggie and/or bread side dish.

Message from the Dean
Thank you for your interest in Washington University School of Medicine, a vital community of students, faculty and staff dedicated to excellence in patient care, medical education, and research. Our medical school is an exciting place to be - the atmosphere is one of collegiality and collaboration fueled by the talents and energy of people who accept the challenge to lead in advancing health care delivery.
Currently ranked among the top five medical schools in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Washington University School of Medicine is the most selective in terms of student quality. The School's faculty members are the staff physicians at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and St. Louis Children's Hospital. These two fine hospitals, perennially recognized for excellence in patient care, also provide a superb atmosphere for training students, residents and fellows. Washington University also operates the nation's largest medical scientist training program, a combined M.D./Ph.D. program dedicated to educating the next generation of physician-scientists.
Along with the quality of its graduates, faculty members are primarily responsible for the School of Medicine's international reputation. Peer-reviewed, published research is one hallmark of an outstanding institution, and, by that yardstick, the School is extraordinary. It currently ranks as the fourth-largest recipient of NIH research funding, and rarely does a week go by that the School's researchers are not represented in one of the leading scientific journals.
Thank you for visiting our web site. I invite you to browse to learn more.
Larry J. Shapiro, M.D.
Executive Vice Chancellor for Medical Affairs and Dean
Washington University School of Medicine

- The first is to use two ESDS and then get CICS to read the Batch one after update and adding the records at the end of the CICS ESDS.
- The second is to use my EXCI SupportPac and get batch to send the individual records to CICS for appending to the file.
- Something else which you may care to investigate is the new(ish) Transactional VSAM support but I'm not sure if this works for an ESDS.

Editor's Note: Once in awhile we come across something noteworthy and we want to share it with our readers. However, due to a variety of reasons (it's too new to obtain research, it's in a far-away land that we can't quite reach, etc.) we don't quite know what to do about it other than tell you "Hey. This is amazing and you should know about it." Show & Tell is a collection of those recent things.
1. In a recent post celebrating National Mom & Pop business day, we mentioned our Intelligence Report "When Creativity Trumps Budget: What Big Brands Can Teach Indies." One of the Big Ideas we feature in our report is "Fostering New Talent." We were delighted when we spotted The Limited doing just that! They've partnered with Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) to offer a unique jewelry collection to customers—created by students. The Limited's CEO, Linda Heasley explained, "We were very fortunate. It was all done under the spirit of teaching and training and learning. We were thrilled that SCAD chose to do this with us. I'm very proud of the collection." You can find the jewelry in stores starting in 2012.
Check out this video to find out more about this partnership that provided students with real business experience.
2. Food trucks have gone mainstream, just as we predicted last year in our own exploration of the mobile food market. This time, fast-food chain Burger King is testing out the idea. We heard awhile back that the chain would be delivering burgers to your home (within a specific proximity to local restaurants), but now the burger chain has gone one step further by literally taking operations on the road. We're excited to hear how consumers respond to the initiative. We think food trucks create interest because of the unique offer and the convenience factor. Not to mention, it's a great way to introduce new products which is exactly what the burger giant is rumored to be doing—using food trucks to introduce new menu items. They've launched new salads and fruit smoothies through a line up of celebrity endorsements including Sophia Vergara, Jay Leno, David Beckham and Salma Hayek. Check out the commercials here.
We'll just have to wait and see if burger lovers love the new mode of fast food "delivery." Remember—convenience is king.
Click here to read more about Burger King taking the Whopper (and more) to the streets.
3. Recently opened within Fred Segal in Santa Monica is the first beauty store operated by a magazine. Readers of NewBeauty are now able to find all of the products featured on the pages of this popular publication in one place. Products are accompanied by relevant editorial content allowing them to find the right product solution for their need. Beauty experts offer advice and product demonstrations, and an on-site video editorial staff is there to conduct customer interviews about the products. One customer described it as "putting the pages of the magazine on the shelf." Check out the video below to hear more rave reviews from the magazine's readers.

Today, I'm just full of all kinds of questions. It's early, and I've already driven my husband to hurry off to work for a quick escape.
Honey, did you know that a laugh is a smile that bursts? Did you know that an awful lot of money is tainted because it tain't yours and it tain't mine? Did you know that a bicycle can't stand because it is two tired? Did you know that a hangover is the wrath of grapes? Did you know that a short fortune teller who escapes from prison is a small medium at large?
But when I began, "Did you know that a man's home is his castle because…" and before I could come back with my quick comeback, my quick-witted husband came back with, "Yes, he is, in a manor of speaking!" Needless to say, I was happy that hubby had made his escape!
Did you know that reading familiar passages from a non-familiar point of view can sometimes give the passage new meaning? For instance, James 4:1-12 is one of my favorite passages. It speaks of fights and quarrels, friendship with the world, not having because we are not asking. I usually read from the New International Version, but this morning, I read from Eugene Peterson's "The Message," and James 4:1-12 and I found a new point of view.
"Where do you think wars and quarrels come from? Do you think they just happen? Think again. They come about because you want your own way, and fight for it deep inside yourselves. …You wouldn't think of just asking God for it, would you? And why not? Because you know you'd be asking for what you have no right to. You're spoiled children, each wanting your own way. You're cheating on God. If all you want is your own way. …Yell a loud 'no' to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet 'yes' to God and He'll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. …Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it's the only way you'll get on your feet. Don't bad-mouth each other, friends. It's God's Word, His Message, His Royal Rule, that takes a beating in that kind of talk. You're supposed to be honoring the Message, not writing graffiti all over it."
Remember how Ephesians 3:20 tells that God gives more than we can ask or imagine? "The Message" says it like this: "God can do anything, you know — far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, His Spirit deeply and gently within us?"
Did you know I am not advocating or advertising or asking you to read "The Message?" I am merely pointing out that reading passages from the Bible and thinking of how it applies to "us" rather than "them" will give you a new insight into that passage.
Did you know that God is waiting for us to do this very thing?

The management remains unchanged, which means, inter alia, that wine writer Matthew Jukes (right), described on www.quintessentiallywine.com as 'the UK's foremost wine expert', continues to select wines for the business. On the company's website, where there is as yet no mention of the joint venture with J&B, he explains, 'My job for you is to romance the finest winemakers in the world, accessing hitherto unseen wines and deftly deliver them to your door.'
J&B is a bastion of the traditional UK wine trade based in St James's Street, London, just across the street from its old arch-rivals Berry Bros. It has long been particularly strong in Scotland, and its business is based on what was quaintly called 'the carriage trade', ie supplying wine to gentlemen and their clubs.
Presumably what appeals to J&B about Quintessentially Wine is access to a very different market (and mailing list) to that currently served by J&B - generally younger and more cosmopolitan. Quintessentially, for example, has been working hard building up business in various Asian markets while J&B is yet to establish a permanent presence in Asia, even though their managing director and head buyer Hew Blair (above left) makes regular forays there.
His official comment is, 'the market that Quintessentially Wine serves, particularly the integral role it has in providing services to Quintessentially Group members, and the way that it does business, makes it complementary and very different to J&B. We see, in the long term, that this combination can provide higher growth in the premium and fine wine market, both in the UK and overseas. '

Houston, Elizabeth Margaret (1997) A critical investigation of the Primary Schools Nutrition Programme (PSNP) in the Eastern Cape. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
HOUSTON-MA-TR 97-77.pdf
The thesis focuses on the Primary School Nutrition Programme (PSNP), particularly in the Eastern Cape, as a government nutrition and education project, and its failure to achieve its stated goals. The programme experienced problems almost as soon as it was introduced. The press reported incidents of fraud and maladministration and the programme was halted and restarted numerous times. The thesis seeks to offer some insight as to why the government was unable to reach its stated objectives in the implementation phase of the programme. State theory informs the thesis in an attempt to further explain why governments often seem unable to attain their intended goals. The thesis provides an alternative to government development programmes, arguing that NGOs are better equipped to deal with the particular problems that people on the ground experience when dealing with issues like nutritional vulnerability. Operation Hunger provides an excellent case study for how development of this nature ought to occur. The essential argument of the thesis is that there is an inherent tension between what a government's stated intentions is and what, it, in reality, intends to gain from such programmes. It is the contention of this thesis that the Government of National Unity embarked on the PSNP, not to ensure nutritional development for its own sake, but rather to curry favour with its constituents. Operation Hunger, and other organisations like it, provide relief to vulnerable communities with no hidden agenda in mind. Their mandate lS solely that they provide assistance. The thesis argues, then, that NGOs have a role in domestic and international politics, that they can make up for or do better, or at least well, things that governments struggle to do.

Clovis farmers market lovers don't have to wait until next year to shop for fresh fruits and vegetables in the heart of town any more.
The Business Organization of Old Town, which runs the popular seasonal Friday night market, will begin a year-round Saturday morning farmers market in the parking lot of the old Department of Motor Vehicles at Pollasky and Bullard avenues on Saturday.
"Often after the Friday night event is coming to a close people ask us if we would continue doing it year round," said Carole Lester, executive director.
The organization tried extending the Friday market, but the weather got cold, it got darker earlier and people had other places to go like school football games, Lester said. "We thought why not provide that community service by having growers only come out on Saturday mornings," she said.
The market will start with about eight growers and expand to about a dozen vendors, who will provide a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables. No food will be sold and there won't be any entertainment.
"It's strictly a place to come and grab your fresh produce," Lester said.
