Eyewitness News Hosting Town Hall Meeting On Energy Issuesfrom Eyewitness News Online Reported by: Jeff Morris Web Producer: Heath Harrison Reported: Aug. 21, 2013 5:33 PM EDT Updated: Aug. 23, 2013 1:39 PM EDT
, Kanawha County
, West Virginia
In West Virginia, where coal is king, the debate over the most responsible way to harness energy has fueled controversy across the state. Here is a chance to put your 2 cents in on this important discussion, as either a member of a town hall audience that will tackle the topic or by watching live stream coverage of the session and commenting through social media. The vehicle for the discussion will be "Town Hall: Your Voice, Your Future," a forum that will be hosted by Eyewitness News from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29, at the Clay Center in Charleston. Panelists representing diverse interests will take the stage at the town hall meeting to field questions from a live audience on the harvesting of energy and its production. What is the best way to gather and use such resources as coal, natural gas, solar and wind? Guest panelists will include Bill Raney, head of the West Virginia Coal Association; environmentalist Bo Webb; and Mark McCown, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Gastar Exploration. Anyone interested in being a member of the town hall audience must register online. Just visit this link on our homepage at wchstv.com and fill out the online registration form here. Seating is limited, and filling out an online registration form does not guarantee admission to the event. But you don't have to be at the Clay Center to join in on the debate. The town hall meeting will be broadcast live on our website at wchstv.com, where you can watch live stream coverage and click on links that will allow you to comment on social media, including our Facebook and Twitter pages, as the discussion happens. So we want to hear your energetic discussion on vital issues that have waged from the coalfields of West Virginia all the way to Washington. Mark your calendar for 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29, and be a part of "Town Hall: Your Voice, Your Future." MORE NEWS FROM EYEWITNESS NEWS

Dominick Dunne's Dangerous Game
Story | Jun 1, 1988Dominick Dunne's eight-day visit started with dinner at the Regency Club. His pal Paige Rense, who edits Architectural Digest, invited him and a few others--all as rich or as famous as the people Dunne writes about. Another night it was Mortons, watering...

It's unlikely Jerome Block's will step down from his role with the Public Regulation Commission amid two high-profile scandals, his former opponent says.
Rick Lass, who ran for the District 3 PRC seat on the Green Party ticket, says Block will likely wait it out.
"I think he's going to fight it out to the end and wait for the legislature to impeach him," Lass tells SFR.
While Block is currently under investigation for allegedly spending $8,000 of state money in gas receipts and stealing and abandoning a Honda Accord, he's shown that he can make it through rough stretches like this.
In 2008, Block marked $2,500 worth of public campaign money to a band for playing at one of his rallies on a campaign finance reports. It turned out that band never played at the rally, even though Block repeatedly said so. He eventually admitted he lied.
Around the same time, Block made a donation to then-Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign with his own public campaign money, something he's barred from doing.
Still, Block won the general election easily that year after winning a six-way Democratic primary with about 20 percent of the vote. Lass blames this on a broken electoral system in a blog post today for Voting Matters, an election-reform oriented nonprofit which he runs.
Block has often been MIA at his PRC job since winning it. As of May, he had missed 11 of the commission's 31 meetings in 2011. This doesn't include the proceedings he missed yesterday when the PRC's four other members signed a statement recommending his resignation.
Block's family has political legacy in New Mexico.
"He's someone who felt entitled to his position," Lass says. "His grandfather and father did it before him."
Long before serving the PRC, he had a minor criminal history. Today, he makes about $90,000 a year for his PRC role.
"Still, Block won the general election easily that year..." He'd be a fool to resign. His constituency, largely products of the Santa Fe public school system, voted him into office KNOWING IN ADVANCE that he was a crook and a liar. Recent event have shown he is... a crook and a liar. Since that obviously was no barrier to him last time around, why should it suddenly become one now? Northern New Mexicans simply love to vote for the stupid and corrupt offsprings of the people who have been ripping them off from political office for years. (See Lujan, Ben Ray) If your father is corrupt, and you are a Democrat, run for office in Northern New Mexico. You'll have a long and easy political career. Beats working for a living!
Zebra's comment above sounds elitist. "producst of the public school system". Geez, I am sorry that you have to share the same air with the dregs of society. By the way, Block and Lujan Junior went to private school, St. Mikes. Where did you go, Elite Apartheid High?
sounds like Osmodo is pretty close to this chimichanga eating bull dyke. I am sure they snort lines of oxycotton together
Elitist? Let's see: Is there ANYONE out there, regardless of financial status who thinks SF public schools are functioning properly? Is there ANYONE out there regardless of financial status who still thinks Block isn't a liar and crook? Normally, comments like that would be as controversial as saying the sky is blue. Unless of course, YOU are a "producst" of the Santa Fe public schools, and/or a relative/beneficiary of Block's criminal activities. If you need a further affirmation that your admiration of this sleazebag is justified, read the editorial in today's issue of the New Mexican. If you aren't already the editor of that rag, you ought to be, Osmodo.

Softbank confident of Sprint deal, despite Dish's $25B bid
Calling Dish Network's rival bid for Sprint Nextel "highly conditional," Softbank said tonight it is going ahead with its merger proposal for the troubled carrier and expects to close the deal this summer.
The satellite TV provider submitted a merger proposal this morning valued at $25.5 billion, a 13 percent premium over the Japanese wireless carrier's merger proposal, which offered $20.1 billion for a controlling stake in Sprint.
"Softbank believes that the agreed terms of our transaction with Sprint offer Sprint shareholders superior short- and long-term benefits to Dish's highly conditional preliminary … Read more

Climate factors influencing coccidioidomycosis seasonality and outbreaks
Title | Climate factors influencing coccidioidomycosis seasonality and outbreaks |
Publication Type | Journal Article |
Year of Publication | 2005 |
Journal Title | Environmental Health Perspectives |
Author(s) | Comrie AC |
Volume | 113 |
Issue | 6 |
Pagination | 688-692 |
Publisher | National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences |
Abstract | Although broad links between climatic factors and coccidioidomycosis have been established, the identification of simple and robust relationships linking climatic controls to seasonal timing and outbreaks of the disease has remained elusive. Using an adaptive data-oriented method for estimating date of exposure, in this article I analyze hypotheses linking climate and dust to fungal growth and dispersion, and evaluate their respective roles for Pima County, Arizona. Results confirm a strong bimodal disease seasonality that was suspected but not previously seen in reported data. Dispersion-related conditions are important predictors of coccidioidomycosis incidence during fall, winter, and the arid foresummer. However, precipitation during the normally arid foresummer 1.5-2 years before the season of exposure is the dominant predictor of the disease in all seasons, accounting for half of the overall variance. Cross-validated models combining antecedent and concurrent conditions explain 80% of the variance in coccidioidomycosis incidence. |

After a second day of frantic searching failed to uncover the fate of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, ships and aircraft are combing over parts of the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea where the jetliner is suspected of crashing with 239 people aboard more than 48 hours ago.
Vietnamese officials say search planes have spotted an object that could be debris from the jet — but darkness fell in Asia hours ago, complicating any attempts to verify or expand on that claim.
Originally published on Sun March 9, 2014 7:40 am
An international search is underway for a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet that's been missing for more than 24 hours. Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 had 227 passengers and 12 crew members aboard when it took off from Kuala Lumpur early Saturday on a flight bound for Beijing.
A regular inspection of the missing Boeing 777-200 found no technical problems 10 days ago, reports China's state-run Xinhua news agency, citing a Malaysia Airlines spokesman.

Russia has effectively taken control of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula without a shot fired in anger. Now a larger question looms: What is Russian President Vladimir Putin's ultimate goal in Ukraine?
Native American women are the most likely to put off getting a mammogram, according to research by Dr. Eleni Tolma, associate professor at the college of public health at the OU Health Sciences Center.
"When I came to Oklahoma back in 2002, I wanted to find out what I could do in terms of breast cancer, I was always interested in women's health issues," Tolma, who is also the lead researcher for the Native Women Health Project, said.
Oklahoma's Department of Corrections has temporarily banned news media from bringing cameras or any recording equipment inside its prisons.
The Tulsa World reports that DOC officials notified the newspaper this week that requests to bring photographers inside prisons for two interviews had been denied. They instead said a reporter would be allowed to conduct the interviews, so long as no recording equipment was brought into the facility.
The executive director of a historic preservation nonprofit says he will not appeal a decision to demolish a historic downtown theater complex.
Preservation Oklahoma executive director David Pettyjohn says he's disappointed the Oklahoma City Board of Adjustment voted to sustain the decision by the Downtown Design Review Committee to demolish the Stage Center, but he won't appeal the decision.
Stuck In The Middle With Ukraine
The United States and the European Union differed this week in their response to Russia's role in the crisis in Ukraine.
While Washington is imposing sanctions and strongly criticizing Moscow, the EU has taken softer measures.
As University of Oklahoma political scientist Paul Goode explained two weeks ago, Western media are eager to portray the crisis as a "Cold War 2.0."

Credit-card rivals Visa and MasterCard said Friday they have formed an industry-wide group aimed at improving payment security in the wake of a number of breaches that compromised customers' data.
"The recent high-profile breaches have served as a catalyst for much needed collaboration between the retail and financial services industry on the issue of payment security," Visa President Ryan McInerney said in the statement.

One day after President Obama condemned steps taken by Crimea's parliament to leave Ukraine and join the Russian Federation, Russian lawmakers are welcoming such a move by Crimean separatists.
"Russia's parliament gave its defiant support Friday to Crimean lawmakers who want to see their region split from Ukraine and join Russia," CNN reports from Moscow.
The daughter of the governor of Oklahoma is defending herself after she posted a photo wearing a Native American headdress on social media sites.
In a statement to The Associated Press, Gov. Mary Fallin's daughter, Christina Fallin, says that with age, she feels a "deeper and deeper connection to the Native American culture."
The 26-year-old posted a photo of herself on her Instagram account and the Facebook page for her band on Thursday evening.

While the total number of apps available for Windows Phone 8 still lags behind Apple's App Store and Google's Play store, Windows Phone 8 users should be happy to see more and more developers pay attention to the Windows Phone 8 platform. Recently, the Windows Phone store received a couple of additions in the form of a third-party voice-activated personal assistant and Asphalt 7: Heat.
While most people have heard of Siri, Apple's voice-activated personal assistant that comes on iPhones, we're betting far fewer people have heard of Maluuba, a personal assistant app that is now available to Windows Phone 8 users.
If you're familiar with Windows Phone 8, you know the phone already supports various speech commands. Maluuba is designed to offer additional speech functionality including the ability to pin featured searches to Start and text-to-speech capabilities so you can listen to results. Maluuba is also available for Android. However, as you can see from the marketing video below the Android version of Maluuba doesn't offer text-to-speech.
Maluuba is designed for natural speech commands such as "Where can I find sushi restaurants nearby?" or "Remind me to pick up the dry cleaning tomorrow at 5:30pm." Although limited, initial reviews of Maluuba are positive with the app receiving 4 out of 5 stars. Users have left comments calling the app "amazing" and "awesome." On user named Bill wrote, "Wow. I've been throwing all kinds of things at Maluuba just using everyday language and it's remarkably good at giving me the right response. Almost spooky at times. If this is version 1, I can't wait to see where they go next!" Maluuba is free and it's currently available for download from the Windows Phone 8 store.
Asphalt 7: Heat also joined the Windows Phone Store recently. This version of the famed racing game is available for $0.99. The game has been enhanced with multiplayer capabilities so you can race up to five friends locally or online. The game features 60 cars from the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, and the DeLorean. In Asphalt 7: Heat, you'll have the option to race on one of 15 tracks that are located around the world. There are six game modes, 15 leagues, and 150 different races.
Additions such as Maluuba and Asphalt 7: Heat bring functionally and entertainment options to the platform that users are sure to appreciate. Despite these additions, Windows Phone 8 still has a long way to go to catch up to other platforms in terms of apps but Microsoft is definitely making progress.
perhaps a more catchy name for the assistant is needed
What it was thinking as well...No offense, but a simple name is what customers will remember more than some complicated name that sounds like an African country to me..
Sure! You can ta***e my tech toys when you pry it from my cold dead hands!!!

Goddard Residence Hall
Date of Construction: 1955 Known Uses: Initially the building was a residence hall for women. On February 1, 1964 the University Instructional Computing Center was opened in its basement. By 1980, it also contained classrooms for Industrial Education. Goddard and Jones were made honors dorms in the 1980s, honors students comprising about half of the total residents of the two buildings. Currently it is still used as dormitory but has additional facilities housed in it.

The meteoric media attention to tattooing is making a lot of people, a lot of money. And many of those people don't have a single tattoo. When tattoo polls make claims like "one in five U.S. adults has at least one tattoo," that's a significant market to be tapped.
We are passionate about tattoos. We get excited to view beautiful work and pissed off when the art is denigrated. This passion = $$ in the eyes of those seeking "eyeballs" for their websites, TV shows, magazines, and sales outlets.
Back in October, we talked about tattoo "Like farms." Those are often the tattoo "fan" pages with the billion "Likes" on Facebook, where you'll find beautiful tattoos but without any information on the artist, photographer, or collector. The tattoos are used to draw us in and then throw ad links to merch, apps, and services.
The flip side to this is what I see as the "Dislike" hook: tricks like "click-baiting," with headlines such as "Tattoos are Corny and Degrading," designed to drag us in, make us angry with asinine writing, and provoke us to comment on the article, defending something that is personal and important to us. It brings more clicks, more time on the site, and more interactivity. Editors and advertisers just love how much we hate it.
Back in my early days of blogging (over 10 years ago), I used to call these articles out, and even comment on them in the hopes of trying to change someone's mind with, what I believed to be, rational thought. I no longer do that. Because, in the history of the Internet, no one has ever won in a comment war.

Let me tell you a little story about Jesse Stark. Jesse starting tattooing as a young man and like most of us had to struggle to learn the craft of tattooing. Jesse worked in Detroit for a while.

Dawn Cooke: 15 Great Artists' Pictures From Instagram
By Dawn Cooke
So I screen-shotted some of my favorite pictures from Intagram to share. My intention is to share some great work and give the artists every bit of the credit! I'm doing it to showcase what I consider to be some really great work. I hope you will all agree. One thing I want to make clear is that I am not trying to promote the idea of "stealing." All artists are inspired by other artists. There's a difference between being inspired and flat-out stealing. I think it's important to know the difference. Most images in tattooing have been taken from other sources. It's always good to know the source if you can, and try to be inspired by art outside of tattooing… and also by life and nature… (more…)
Dawn Cooke: Ask Not What Your Culture Can Do For You, But What Can You Do For Your Culture
By Dawn Cooke
I have been thinking lately about how important it is to support the culture and community of tattooing. It seems like a no-brainer, but I noticed that it doesn't seem like people have any real criteria for the support they do give. It's almost like people have an odd biased that is based on a "what can I get out of this" attitude. This makes sense since we have such a capitalist environment at play… (more…)
Dawn Cooke: Freedom
By Dawn Cooke
I hear talk about freedom all of the time. As an artist, my first amendment right is pretty important. The fact that we can share our thoughts freely is something we often take for granted. It's easy to do because we are taught to believe that we are entitled to be free and we can do or say anything we want in this country. The truth is, that's not entirely the case. You have to go along with society's laws and norms for the most part because if you can't find a productive place in society for whatever reason, society will find a place for you and it might not be a place you would like to go… (more…)

Dawn Cooke: I Hate to Burst Your Bubble!
By Dawn Cooke
Lately, I have had some cynical views toward the state of tattoo culture and pop culture in general and I have had to apologize for affecting sensitivities. So I have been researching, writing and thinking about why I feel this way. The phenomenon of counter-culture becoming popular culture has been written about quite a lot. If you are interested in this topic the book, Nation of Rebels is a good one. What I see, is that we have an overly competitive narcissistic consumer culture that has really negative effects on individuals and on society as a whole. A person can get swept away by the tide if they aren't careful. I have come dangerously close too many times personally… (more…)

Dawn Cooke: The Tattoo Shop Environment
By Dawn Cooke
My tolerance for suffering and a small amount of self-loathing has always made me able to stand sometimes-intolerable environments. Also a drive and fight against resistance has always been fueled by passion to do my work. To everyday people some of the happenings and things said in the tattoo shop are not PC to say the least, in fact some people might be down right disgusted and offended at most of the things that are said and topics discussed within the shop atmosphere… (more…)
Dawn Cooke: Why a Tattoo Is Not a Painting, and a Painting Is Not a Tattoo
By Dawn Cooke
This is actually a simple concept really, it's because they are completely different mediums, if you even consider tattooing an artistic medium. The same way a sculpture isn't a painting, a drawing isn't a sculpture, needlepoint isn't furniture making, a tattoo is not a painting and a painting is not a tattoo.
Many tattoo artists have attempted to combine or blur the lines between the two forms of expression. While these attempts are very impressive to people who know little or care nothing about the tradition and history of tattooing, they can sometimes go against the spirit of the trade or craft of tattooing… (more…)
Dawn Cooke: What is a Tattoo? 6 Other Artists Who Get It!
By Dawn Cooke
Every day I ask myself this question. And if you think I always have the correct answer, I do not. Every tattoo that I do gets me closer to figuring out exactly what a tattoo is. Some of the first thoughts I have when I meet a client lead me to my conclusions about that particular piece. Each piece is different and every piece is a different answer to the question…
Dawn Cooke: Symbolism
Everything we see has a significant meaning and stands as a symbol when used in any context regarding sculpture, image and even written language. If objects are used in any art context they become symbols just the same as images used in an illustration. This is the reason I believe we are seeing so much usage of symbols with object imagery in tattooing… (more…)
Dawn Cooke: Art School
Warning: If you do not like opinionated strong-willed women you should not read this blog! Do yourself and me a favor and don't waste our time.
So what does it mean to go to art school? Most art school students enter college right out of high school. A lot of them have parents who are paying for their tuition. Those who do not have parental support are relaying on loans, grants and scholarships (mainly loans). Those who don't go right out of high school usually had some life circumstances that prevented them from going to college such as poor guidance, no money or no ambition, just to name a few. (more…)
Dawn Cooke: Nothing is Sacred in the Market Place
Lately there has been concern about bloggers taking artists' pictures without permission. I have been paying strict attention to this. When Frank worked for me at Depot Town there was one blogger, in particular, who was taking some of his images from Facebook and using it in his blog. (I won't name this particular blog because this isn't the important part.) Now, there are a few more out there since then… (more…)
Dawn Cooke: Tattoo Ethics
It's okay to take up a hobby or make various other works of art. It's also okay to dedicate your life solely to tattooing and polishing those skills of your craft. It's okay to just do flash tattoos for your whole career. It's also acceptable to actually learn how to draw things yourself. I mean putting forth extra effort never hurt anyone. Knock yourself out!

text: In gaming, free-to-play can pay Business 30 June 11 by Mark Brown Tweet NimbleBit Game developers and app creators of all stripes and all sizes are cottoning on to the idea that free can pay.You only have to browse the gaming news headlines to see how many industry titans, MMO behemoths, obscure Korean game makers and dozens upon dozens of mobile start-ups are releasing their games as "free-to-play", or ditching old price tags and subscriptions.Valve just added a handful of free games to Steam before eradicating the price on its own Team Fortress 2. Blizzard sorta jumped on the bandwagon with a half-hearted stab at making World of Warcraft free. Microsoft is reportedly looking into it on Xbox 360 and every week we see new free-to-play apps hit iTunes and the Android market.The idea works like this. You give gamers a full game, or at least a hefty portion of it, for nothing and let them play the game without upfront payment or subscription fees. Then, once they are suitably addicted and craving more, you spring the trap and tempt them to cough up real-world cash in exchange for virtual items and in-game advancements.If you're a player, maybe you could get a new hat or gun or car for a few pounds, or access premium areas and exclusive hang-outs that only paying customers get to see. In a slow and tedious simulation like FarmVille you could pay a few quid to suddenly make your tomatoes ripe and ready for picking. You can grab pointless aesthetic trinkets, or useful items to get ahead.The idea originated in areas like Korea, China, Russia and Brazil where piracy was so prevalent that selling packaged goods with an upfront fee just became pointless and futile. Instead, companies pivoted on the traditional business model and tried a new approach. They gave away MMOs and multiplayer kart racers for nothing, and then offered up small and optional "microtransactions" on the side.It absolutely exploded. Suddenly, gamers who used to knock-off full priced games were spending ten times that amount of virtual doodads, expediting upgrades and premium features. It hit big, it hit fast and it soon made its way to the west. By the mid 00s we saw games imported from Korea, and by the end of the decade we saw native releases like EA's free-to-play shooter Battlefield Heroes, and Zynga's free-to-play Facebook phenomenon FarmVille. The business model has since ripped through the games industry like a particularly nasty pox. Today, more than eight leading MMOs (from EverQuest II to City of Heroes) have free-to-play elements either implemented today or planned for down the line. On the iPhone App Store, eight out of ten "top grossing" games are currently free-to-play apps. Zynga's CityVille courts 80 million architects a month, EA has 17 million users on free-to-play games.

Smart Tips For Travelling
It's not always easy to plan an amazing getaway all by yourself -- but there are a few things you can do to make the process easier. Read on to learn more!
KNOW YOURSELFWhen planning a vacation, choose the kind of activities you'd like to do first. Then, pick a destination. If you want to shop, head to a major city like London or Paris. If you're looking for adventure, get set to see Africa or the desert. Once you've picked your destination, work out a budget and start searching for hotels and resorts from there. KNOW THE AREAThere are dozens of handy websites you can use to familiarize yourself with destinations around the world. And be sure to rely on recommendations from friends and family. Also, check out the US Department of State Travel Information Page (for updates on travel restrictions or warnings). Other handy travel research sites include: Lonely Planet FIND CHEAP FLIGHTS & ACCOMMODATIONSOnline travel sites are starting to take over. From TripAdvisor to Expedia, finding cheap flights and hotels has never been easier. What's more, because many sites rely on user ratings and feedback, you'll get a good idea of what to expect from a specific company or destination. Some of the best sites include: Travelocity When researching flight information, you should also visit the website of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). It will help you understand why airfares are priced the way they are. Hotel savingsAnother tip? Dig for some pricing information online before you call a hotel to book. That way, if they give you a quote, you'll know whether it's their best offer or not. Also, consider checking your credit card benefits or signing up for an American Automobile Association membership -- you often get great travel discounts just by presenting certain cards. GET TRAVEL INSURANCEMany typical healthcare plans don't cover travel insurance. And when you travel, insurance is a must, as it covers everything from hospital treatments to doctor's bills. The good news? It's relatively inexpensive. Some places to check out include AIG, TravelGuard and AccessAmerica. TALK TO YOUR DOCTORNo matter where you're traveling, it's important to talk to your doctor before you leave. From vaccinations to refills on prescriptions, your healthcare provider will be able to tell you what to look out for health-wise, whether any region-specific vaccinations are needed (such as those for Yellow Fever or Dengue) and what types of medication you may need (like Neosporin or Tylenol, and even anti-malarial drugs). COPY YOUR DOCUMENTSDealing with lost documents in a foreign country is time consuming and difficult. So copy all of your travel documents before you leave home. Leave itineraries with family and friends. Scan the documents and email yourself. Make sure your passport and credit cards are all up to date. And always write down the address and phone number of US Consulates in the place you are visiting. This info will come in handy if something goes wrong.

BMailSolo is a software application which allows users to easily back up important files to a remote email address for safe offsite storage. Files are processed with updated files being copied, zipped, attached to an email message and emailed to a remote email address. BMailSolo is easy to use with the files to be backed up selected as individual files or as complete folders and sub folders. In fact, if all important files are kept under a series of sub folders branching from a single folder, all files can be backed up by simply selecting the root folder. Many easy to use features make the regular backing up of files an easy and trouble free operation. For example, file and folders selected for backing up are displayed in simple tree structure. BMailSolo can be configured to run a back up sequence whenever the PC starts or shuts down. The most common use for BMailSolo is to provide an easy way to back up files from one computer to a remote computer. Typically, a copy of BMailSolo will be installed on a computer in an office and be configured to back up important files to a PC located in a remote location, such as someoneŌĆÖs home, or a colleagues PC. Configuring the email application on the remote PC to automatically process messages generated by BMailSolo allows the messages to be automatically stored. If a second computer is not available to store back up files on, an alternative approach is to create a free email account with one of the many internet entities offering such services. This email address can then be used by BMailSolo to back files up. Thus copies of your important files are safely stored in a remote location. Another application offered by SoftBiz Limited is BMailHost which provides enhanced file saving on the receiving PC.

Songwriter Dean Dillon can remember the day that he says his life changed forever.
It was 1979. Dillon was sitting on the porch of a building on 18th Avenue and a guy pulled up in his car and said, âHey, Iâm fixinâ to (record) this kid from Texas.â
That kid was George Strait. Strait â who will be honored with ASCAPâs Founderâs Award tonight â went on to record 54 of Dillonâs songs over the next three decades.
Dillon will be honored with BMIâs Icon Award Tuesday night during the performing rights organizationâs 61st annual country awards. The honor is given to âsongwriters who have had a unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers.â
âIf you had a hit song, the last person on earth you were going to pitch it to was some unknown artist,â Dillon said of the late â70s era. âWhen I heard about him, I was a outlaw anyway. I broke every rule there was to break and didnât give a hoot about what other people thought. So I pitched George everything I had and the kitchen sink. He wound up cutting six songs of mine on that first album. He never forgot that, that we were virtually the only ones who would give him anything.â
In addition to writing hits for Strait including âThe Chair,â âNobody in His Right Mind Would Have Left Herâ and âOcean Front Property,â he also penned songs including Toby Keithâs âItâs a Little Too Lateâ and âIâm Alive,â recorded by Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews.
âSince I was old enough to feel emotion and learn how it felt to hurt ⦠Iâve been to able to take that emotion and put it into a song to where you can actually write it down on a piece of paper and look at it and deal with it,â Dillon said. âSongs have been my best friend. Itâs been an amazing journey. When I picture this in my head and I see Dolly, Willie, Kris Kristofferson and then Dean Dillon at the end of that, I donât know. Itâs like, âReally? That name goes up there?â But at the same time, you have to understand that my whole life for better or worse, I gave to country music. Itâs all I ever did.â

I've read 21 'best/top/worst' lists so far this year--and most were a waste of time. It's time to call for a moratorium.
I've read 21 'best/top/worst' lists so far this year--and most were a waste of time. It's time to call for a moratorium.
Thanks to social media, I now see more shared content than ever—but how much of it is of real value?
I delivered a workshop recently where one frustrated attendee asked, "What is the point of sharing content if all you're doing is contributing to the amount of crud out there?" Frankly, I couldn't agree more.
Then, almost as if on cue, those year-end lists started pouring in. You know what I'm talking about: top XX lists, countdown lists, best-of lists, most/worst/least lists, and lists compiled by prognosticators, critics or uninspired editors who just know that content like this will be consumed.
Bah humbug, I say! Sure, lists can be useful, entertaining and easy to digest. For these reasons, lists have become a staple of our media diet—but they're also propagating like bunnies. Do we really need all of these lists?
Are they really providing us with value? Or are they just diverting your attention from something more worthwhile? You tell me.
Here's only a smattering of the lists I have been bombarded with this year-end season:
I read all of these—and only about a third of them provided enough real substance to be considered conversation-worthy or thought provoking. The rest felt like someone was trying too hard, like too many people are reading up on how to woo readers.
Is there lasting gain from these lists? If you generate lists just for the sake of generating a list but they provide no true value to your reader, what might be the chance that next time, those readers are less likely to click through to your list? In other words, are your lists turning people off?
So here's a plea from those of us in business, who really should be doing something more productive as the year winds down: Please think before posting yet another dull list. Is your list teaching others how to do something better, faster, cheaper? Is it stimulating thought or conversation? Would YOU want to read it if someone else wrote it?
If there's even a question about the "crud factor" of your content, it's probably a good idea to re-evaluate its place.

I have a John Wood pro series hot water tank about 13 years old. Just recently I stopped getting hot water pressure. My pipes are not frozen. I have read FAQ,s and similar problem posts. I have great cold water pressure and my release and drain valves have great pressure, shooting clean hot water from them.I did not understand the advice given for checking nipples and dipsticks. My copper lines coming out of top of tank are soldered and I would have to cut them to check for calcium or crud.I feel my heater is still good and that it's a blockage or something. I could sure use some diagrams to show some of the procedures you've suggested to others with same problem. I know I will need a new water heater soon being 13 and all, but not without exhausting possible cheap fixes. Thanks, Statman from Calgary Alberta Canada EH!!
If there aren't any unions or flexible copper lines used then, yes, you will have to cut the copper line to see what the inside of the pipes look like. Per master plumber Mark, the hot side should be the one full of buildup, thus compromising your flow. This would be at where the pipe exits the tank.
I just post cuz I like to see my avatar.

Brand Name Liquidations to bring more warehouse sales to our area
Warehouse sales come in all varieties: furniture at the Grand Home Furnishings outlet in Roanoke, cosmetics and fragrances at the Elizabeth Arden warehouse in Roanoke and clothing and accessories at the J.Crew warehouse in Lynchburg. If you're a fan of warehouse-style sales, you'll be thrilled to hear about a new liquidation company based in nearby Lynchburg, Brand Name Liquidations (BNLIQ).
Rodney Davis of Forest previously worked with J.Crew on its warehouse sales in the area, but now he is CEO of BNLIQ.
Drawing from his past retail work, Davis and his business partner Jim Rufus, who also works in commercial real estate and with a company called Whole Sale Food Group, created BNLIQ to be the liaison between shoppers and companies that want to have sales. The website states that BNLIQ "liquidate overstocks, returns, samples, damages via warehouse and sample sales on your behalf, while ensuring your brand is protected."
Brand protection is key for Davis. He aims to keep the integrity of a well-known brand while still hosting a sale with deep discounts. For this reason, the location of each sale will be a respectful distance from any wholesalers and shops who sell the brand in the area. Shoppers can expect many sales to be held locally, though.
Can pop up anywhere
From Nov. 9 through 18, Davis hosted a Vineyard Vines sale in the old Lowe's location off of Timberlake Road in Lynchburg. This was an appropriate distance from retailers, like Alligator Alley in Roanoke, who sell Vineyard Vines products regularly. He has no interest in competing with retailers who are selling the merchandise full price.
"Typically I just rent an empty space and set up shop," Davis explained. You never know where his next sale might pop up.
There's also no set schedule for the sales, as it generally depends on the seasonality of the merchandise and how much a company has to offer. But there are times of year when you're more likely to see the sales.
"Fall is a really good time because of college kids, which is another reason the Lynchburg area works," he said. Lynchburg is home to Liberty University and Lynchburg College — full of potential shoppers.
Don't expect BNLIQ to work only with large apparel companies, either. Davis said he has "a lot of irons in the fire," but wasn't ready to release any prospective clients. He is open to hosting a variety of sales, though.
"We will work with smaller companies to do online flash sales and other things," he said. "If they don't have a huge amount of inventory it's not a problem, we can still work with it."
Loyal shoppers
Shoppers can sign up online to be notified of sales. So far the company has a database of close to 5,000 names. But the advertising for each sale will be different. Some clients are very brand oriented and prefer to advertise simply by word of mouth. If you're trendy enough to know the brand, you'll find out about the sale.
The savings at each sale can vary, but Davis said he would estimate most prices can be 75 percent to 80 percent off retail prices.
At the Vineyard Vines sale I attended, merchandise was an additional 40 percent off of the last marked price (which was usually at least 50 percent off). The sale had a very similar feel to J.Crew warehouse sales in Lynchburg, with merchandise set out in cardboard boxes or hung on racks. It's definitely an atmosphere for the biggest of bargain hunters.
With a small laugh Davis said he can usually tell within a few seconds whether these sales are for customers who walk through the door.
Many shoppers at the Vineyard Vines sale were repeat customers and visited the sale numerous times.
Moms like Cami Wirt of Forest and Virginia Thornton of Lynchburg were shopping for their college-aged sons. And then there was Crystal Gerard of Charlottesville, who met Davis at one of his J.Crew sales and attends any sale he hosts.
Around lunchtime on Nov. 14, the women were all hovering around waiting for the next shipment to arrive — the boxes had been cleaned out of bowties.
"He runs a really great sale," Gerard said. "It's just fabulous. People love the bowties."
Davis and Gerard both cautioned shoppers to dress appropriately and come prepared. There are no dressing rooms at warehouse liquidation sales, so many women opt for form-fitting workout apparel or leggings that clothing can be slipped over. With most companies only offering purchases as final sale (no returns or exchanges), it's important to know the fit before you buy. Bringing snacks and water is also important.
Davis also warned that shoppers should be prepared to spend some time at the sale.
"It's almost like a treasure hunt," he said.
The next sale hosted by BNLIQ will be Moore & Giles, a leather company based out of Lynchburg. This sale will be held on Dec. 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 1081 Tannery Row in Forest.

Buyer Up! Yankees Auction Off Stadium Memorabilia
Let's get this straight. First the New York Yankees build a taxpayer-supported new stadium which, after cost overruns, comes to a whopping $1.5 billion. Then they charge $2,500 a game for the best seats in the house (a price they cut in half when the tickets embarrassingly weren't selling). And now they've begun auctioning off artifacts of the old stadium at exorbitant prices to earn back the $11.5 million the team paid the city to be able to dismantle the publicly owned ballpark.
Now that we've got all that squared away, here's a sampling of the items that went on offer this week from Yankees' partner Steiner Sports. A pair of seats (pictured), made of royal blue plastic and dating from the old stadium's renovation in the mid-1970s, begins at $1,499. A 2x2-foot chunk of freeze-dried sod starts at $280. A square of outfield turf ten times that size costs $10,000 and up. Getting sticker shock? Compared with the original price of top-of-line season tickets this year--$202,500--it's a veritable bargain.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
An unknown object has entered Earth's solar system in the year 2130, and a rocket ship is dispatched to study this alien artifact (dubbed Rama) and report back on its findings. That sentence is a summary of almost the entire plot. But RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA is not a story that is wholly concerned with plot. It's more a series of set pieces: the decision to explore, the examination of the immediate inside, the voyage across the interior's sea, etc. Each one is interesting on its own, but not all of them contribute much to the overall story.
The purpose these set pieces serve is to invoke a sense of wonder at this unknowable alien object. I'm reminded of Jules Verne's voyage-type stories, where his protagonist(s) would become engaged in a multitude of individual adventures. But instead of exploring (and inventing) Earth's wonders, Clarke is showing us a completely fictional environment. It's quite fun. Clarke put most of his effort into creating this landscape, and it becomes the focus and centerpiece of the whole novel.

Other Firsts We'd Like To See In Congress
Sure, this Congress is diverse, but how about a rapper, a GenXYer and others
As the 113th Congress was sworn in last week, talk was not of the tasks the new class of congressmen and women have ahead, but of its extraordinary diversity.
This Congress has its first openly lesbian senator, its first Hindu member, more Latino members and more female senators than ever before, and, of course, Tim Scott, the first black senator from the South since Reconstruction.
But there are more firsts to be had and records to break. What about swearing in two or more black female senators in a future session? What about an only gay black congressman? What about – GASP! – a black Speaker of the House?
And why does any of that matter, you might ask? This Congress is indeed the most diverse body to be sworn in, but it still comes up short when you compare it to the diversity of the entire U.S. In 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, with over 311 million people living in the U.S., the country was 63 percent white, nearly 17 percent Hispanic, about 13 percent black and 5 percent Asian.
Given that spread, the U.S. Senate would need more than just Scott as the sole African American, and more than just the few Latinos, currently serving amongst the 100. The same could be said for the House of Representatives, which does a better job in terms of diversity, given candidates do not have to run statewide races, where the ethnic and political makeup can vary drastically from their home districts.
To be truly representative of every race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and religion, the nation's political parties and voters have some work and candidate grooming to do. Here, a few ideas for "firsts" we'd like to see in a future session.
View them in the gallery above.

Global Assessment CertificateTM (GAC) and English Language Programs (ELP)
Year Introduced
2005, when ACT established a new company: ACT Education Solutions, Limited.
Intended Users
Non-U.S. students wishing to study in the United States take the GAC program to acquire the academic knowledge, independent learning skills, English language skills and confidence to enter and successfully complete a bachelor's degree at a university.
The English Language Programs can be adapted to suit middle school and high school students and young adults. With flexible entry and exit points, it is possible to design a suite of programs suitable for any educational organization. Training and ongoing academic support are provided to all ELP centers.
GAC is an internationally recognized university preparation program for students who do not have English as their first language. It is a product of ACT Education Solutions, Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of ACT, Inc.). The GAC provides students with the academic knowledge, skills, and confidence to enter and successfully complete a bachelor's degree at one of many selected universities. Successful completion of the GAC is a passage into a bachelor's degree program at one of many Pathway Universities in the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other countries worldwide.
ELP comprises a suite of general and academically oriented English language programs designed to prepare students for further studies in English. Early in the ELP, study units focus on familiar themes and topics, such as Childhood Experiences and Food, Recipes, and Cultures. As students progress through each level, they move on to units with more global issues and concepts, such as People Leading Extraordinary Lives and Technology. Vocabulary is introduced at the beginning of each unit and incorporated into a variety of activities throughout the unit. ELP has a balanced focus on the key language skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking and offers grounding in grammar and pronunciation.
Volume/Number of Users
Approximately 100 "Pathway" institutions participate in the GAC program, including universities in Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Vietnam. Currently, more than 3,000 students are completing their GAC program.
Additional Facts
GAC encompasses the skills essential for successful study at a western university. Assessments are designed to prepare students for the rigors of university study, and include the same kind of assessments students found at university in the first year. Approved Teaching Centers (ATCs) can be found in more than 10 countries including Bahrain, Canada, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. The GAC can be delivered full-time over nine months, or part-time as a concurrent co-curriculum with the high school curriculum.
ELP are delivered in more than 10 countries including Bahrain, Canada, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. They are taught in centers situated on university campuses, in private language or business colleges, in corporate offices, and within private international and local high schools.
ACT Education Solutions, Limited (AES), has offices in Sydney, Jakarta, Shanghai, and Singapore.

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. -- Shayne Gostisbehere is the first Union hockey player to ever be asked to try out for a spot on Team USA's world junior championship team. The final roster cuts will be made Christmas eve, but based on what Gostisbehere did in an exhibition game on Thursday, his spot on the team might become permanant.
USA took on Sweden in a pre-tournament tuneup game. With the game tied at 2-2 in overtime, Gostisbehere hit a slapper off the face off win, and buried the game winner for team USA.
America won 3-2 in overtime. USA takes on Finland on Saturday in their final exhibition game. The tournament starts for real on December 27th in Finland.
