ATLANTA — A Buford woman was arraigned Monday before a U.S. Magistrate Court, facing charges that she forced a pair of young women into what an attorney called "modern day slavery."
According to indictments and court documents, 41-year-old Bidemi Bello brought a woman from Nigeria to Georgia and forced her to work in her home from October 2001 to March 2004, making her care for her daughter and perform household chores without pay. The victim later escaped. Bello reportedly brought a second woman from Nigeria, forcing her to work for her from November 2004 to April 2006. According to the indictment, Bello "threatened, physically abused and isolated both victims from their families in order to force them to work for her without pay." She reportedly took each victim's passport and government identification documents in order to maintain their services, a practice known as "document servitude." "Forcing young women to work without compensation for their services is modern day slavery," U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said in a statement. "The laws of the United States protect all victims from such abuse, regardless of where they came from or how they came to be in the United States." Bello, a Nigerian citizen and Buford resident, faces seven federal charges: four counts of labor trafficking, two counts of document servitude and one count of alien harboring.More like this story

La vie de Jésus
Directed by Bruno Dumont
France | 1997While the title alludes to the religious, Dumont is primarily concerned with flesh. Lazarus' resurrection was a miracle of flesh and subsequently Freddy's development is informed by the same substance. Throughout the film he takes frequent tumbles from his moped, either through carelessness or scorn of care, and his skin is subsequently damaged and marked. These fresh wounds offer him avenues of inquiry into his own being.

Heavy guys looks for binding...
Hello, guys
I am looking for bindings that will suit the Skunk Ape Board that I am planing to buy (I am 6' 5", 240lbs). Could you give me some recommendations? What do you think about Union Atlas XL (I am 14US/12UK foot size)? |

Rides works fine for me with 230lbs.
I can easily carve on this. Try to get a CAD or NRC with super-nice footbed. Also i know Rome and Union force are good. Actually it depends on how you're gonna use the board, may be the only one will fit you is catek fr2 |

Size 14 Boot set ups can get trickey- Depending on the Model and Year of the boots the overall size and fit can vary- UNION's Fit up to a 1 4- The Atlas and Force are both great options for the larger rider that wants a more supportive binder- I am a larger rider and have ridden both. The Force being slightly stiffer- K2 Makes an XL size in their line that fits most of the 14+ Sizes nicely- I would recommend taking your personal boots do your local UNION dealer and sizing them up in person to see what fits you the best. |

Find the Government-Backed Financing You Need with SBA's Loans and Grants Search Tool
by Caron_Beesley, Community Moderator
- Created: August 13, 2012, 7:42 am
Looking to grow your business? Not sure you'll qualify for a traditional business bank loan?
Many new and established businesses may not qualify for credit in the form of traditional loans. That's why the SBA has long operated a program of government-backed (or guaranteed) loans that make it possible for many small businesses to get the financing they need to grow their business without using working capital.
What is a Government-Backed Business Loan?
First, let's dispel one myth – the government does not (generally) directly provide business owners with loans. Instead, it provides a guarantee to banks and other commercial lenders that covers the money they lend to small businesses owners (you can find information here on what the SBA officially considers "small"). This guarantee protects the lenders' interests by promising to pay a portion (the percentage varies by the type of loan) if the business owner defaults on the loan.
Essentially, government-backed small business loans alleviate the risk associated with lending money to business owners and entrepreneurs who may not qualify for traditional loans in order to make the lender more willing to make the loan. Experts describe it as a "credit enhancement."
What About Government Grants?
Now, let's dispel a second myth.
SBA does not provide grants to small businesses to start or grow a business. However, certain grants do exist for very specific groups, organizations, or activities – such as businesses involved in scientific research and development. Read Government Grants for Small Business—Think you Qualify? to learn more.
What Types of SBA Loans are Available?
SBA administers a variety of different types of government-backed loans, each one developed to suit different business needs – whether you need start-up funds, export assistance funds, or funds to pay off debt or recover from a disaster. The most popular is the 7(a) loan program because it offers flexibility, longer terms and the smaller monthly payments those longer terms bring. Loans can be made for up to $5 million for working capital, refinancing, purchasing an existing business or other assets – almost any legitimate business purpose.
Pinpoint the Right Loan with the SBA Loans and Grants Search Tool
To help you find a loan program that fits your needs, a good place to start is the SBA Loans and Grants Tool. This online tool is easy to use and helps you build a picture of the financing options your small business might be eligible for in a few simple clicks. Simply enter basic information about your business profile, zip code and needs.
Who Determines Loan Eligibility?
While each loan has its own specific qualification criteria, you will need to talk to your bank or lender about your eligibility. Your local SBA District Office can also provide guidance and advice about loan eligibility and application requirements. SBA staff should also be able to point you to SBA lenders in your area. You may also want to consider approaching a bank or credit union that has been through this process before or one that is a Preferred SBA Lender – in other words, a lender who has a proven track record in processing and servicing SBA loans.
You might also want to read: Who's Lending? How to Find Small Business-Friendly Banks.
The Loan Application Process
Preparing a SBA loan application differs from a traditional loan. Your bank should be able to help you understand what's required, as does this SBA Loan Application Guide, which gives a step-by-step checklist of what's needed.

Longtime Sun skeptic has change of heart
Toni Sacconaghi, the Sanford C. Bernstein analyst who has for years been unimpressed with Sun Microsystems' attempts to improve its business, awarded the company a more optimistic business rating.
Sacconaghi raised his rating for Sun from "under-perform" to "market perform" in a report Tuesday. Granted, part of the reason was that Sun's stock has slipped well below $4 per share--it closed at $3.82 on Monday--but Sacconaghi also said the upgrade was because of his belief that "positive change is afoot at Sun."
The stock price slip now indicates the market has absorbed … Read more

At the request of President Obama's chief of staff, former President Bill Clinton asked Joe Sestak if he would drop out of Pennsylvania's Democratic Senate primary if given a prominent but unpaid advisory position within the administration.
That's what sources told the New York Times' Peter Baker on Friday morning, as the White House prepared to release its official response to Sestak's claim that a White House job was dangled before him as inducement to pull the plug on his primary challenge to incumbent Arlen Specter. The White House has since released its counsel's findings on the matter, confirming that Clinton spoke to Sestak.
Baker describes Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel as having personally asked Clinton last summer to be an emissary to Sestak. Emanuel — a former chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee who actually recruited Sestak to run for the House back in 2006 — didn't want Sestak to drop out of the House. So, according to Baker, White House officials considered several unpaid positions, including a spot on the independent President's Intelligence Advisory Board. But that position wouldn't work because Sestak couldn't take the job while still serving in Congress.
If Baker's account is accurate, did Sestak exaggerate this job business a little bit? Back in February, Sestak replied "yes" when a Pennsylvania TV reporter asked if he had been offered a "high-ranking" administration job. An unpaid advisory role, while perhaps important and influential, isn't exactly "high-ranking."
The wild card here, which administration officials will no doubt play up, is that evidently no one except Clinton and Sestak know exactly what Clinton said. Sestak still isn't talking, though he did confirm to reporters Thursday that his brother, Richard, who is also his chief political adviser and campaign attorney, spoke with the White House Thursday about the matter.
Granted, corrupt Democrats have a history of looking out each other in times of crisis, but one can't help but wonder if this will possibly re-open wounds between the rival Obama and Clinton camps. Barry better tread carefully here because I can't see the Hillary supporters liking this one bit. Of course, as a conservative there's nothing better than watching some liberal-on-liberal violence. Heh.

Nice little device.Pros: It works? I have this thing hooked up to a PCI SATA II card for the extra 2 SATA ports that this thing needs. No problem hot swapping, finally taking up that wasted space in the floppy slot. Cons: Requires some extra force to get the 2.5 drives to make solid contact with the internal SATA connector. Did you find this review helpful? |
Works Just Fine.Pros: Low cost, Works Great. It installed easy, looks well built and I'm running it now. Cons: None yet. Other Thoughts: Why didn't I buy 2... that's why one is in my cart today. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great External 2.5" Drive RackPros: East to install and use. Cons: Nothing Other Thoughts: I like using the 2.5" drives for backup and storage. Purchased from NewEgg.... Great place to buy. Did you find this review helpful? |
WorksPros: Easy install, works just like its supposed to. Cons: None at all Did you find this review helpful? |
@ drive bayPros: 2 x 2.5" HDD can use for hot swap ( if MB is set-up) Cons: Price. Newegg has Rosewell for 25.00 Bytecc model 250 for 27 and an SNT for 22.00 Other Thoughts: Look around to save $- all are identical 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Runs RAID 0 Array FlawlesslyPros: Fits 2 2.5" drives inside. Has a separate SATA connector for each drive, but only 1 SATA power connector, which powers both drives. That's a bonus for me, since I fit this into my Floppy drive bay. Cons: Power connector has no clearance to the bottom of the drive, so if in your floppy bay the bottom will sit flush with metal, it will be impossible to plug in the power. You'll need to elevate the end of the drive slightly. Other Thoughts: Would buy again. One of the best SSD Solutions I've seen available, as it does exactly what I want, with space for 2 drives even. Did you find this review helpful? |
Gets the job donePros: I like the aluminum case and the ease by which it hosts the 2.5" drives. In my case, I'm using it to hold a pair of SSD disks for my server OS and database. Cons: The door open and close mechanism is chintzy. I expected a better engineered mechanism. Did you find this review helpful? |
Future purchasePros: Mounts in 3.5" bay. Holds two 2.5" drives. SATA II interface. Cons: Not sure yet, perhaps I will not be able to RAID 0 the drives because of the single SATA connection on the back. Other Thoughts: Want to use this to install SSD on my tower when I can afford the one I want (currently I am leaning toward the Corsair P128). 0 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great Drive Cage!!!Pros: One sata power plug, fits in the obsolete floppy bay, holds 2 notebook drives, great for a small form factor pc where space is a factor. Cons: None at all. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very handyPros: Does exactly what you need it to. Build is excellent. Very nice looking unit. Cons: None Other Thoughts: The activity lights need better internal shielding if you care about the fact you can't tell which drive is actively reading/writing. I don't consider this a con. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Titles similar to The Wasted Vigil
Four lonely people, devastated by the ongoing war in Afghanistan, are all searching for something or someone. David is an American spy who set out to help the Afghans fend off the Communist Russian invasion and now fears that his efforts may have lead to the execution of his beloved Zameen. Lara is a Russian looking for her missing brother, who was sent into Afghanistan years before during the Russian invasion. Casa, a young Afghan man, grew up as an orphan in a Taliban madrassa, was indoctrinated into Fundamentalist Islam, and is now looking to prove himself. Finally, there is Marcus, an elderly English doctor who long ago married an Afghan woman. He lost his wife to the war and is searching for his missing daughter and grandson. All four are brought together under Marcus' roof, where their stories intertwine, their ideologies collide, and eventually they must each choose a path toward life or death. Aslam's voice is lyrical yet brutal as he tells a poignant story about the harrowing and lasting effects of a continuous war.

We offer complete care of allergic diseases including asthma, hay fever, hives, eczema, insect allergy, selected medication allergy, recurrent infections including chronic sinusitis, ear infections, and chronic cough.
A complete evaluation includes a comprehensive allergy history, physical examination, and allergy skin test. Many new patients will have additional tests depending on the nature of their problem, such as breathing tests, CT scans, or other tests. You could expect to be in the office for approximately 2 to 3 hours. Due to this length of time, we request that children do not accompany the patient to the appointment.
Skin testing is the primary way to identify your allergies; if possible, this will be done on the first visit. There are two types of tests which are performed:
- Percutaneous (prick) tests – a skin prick through a drop of allergen on the patient's skin, usually either the back or the forearm.
- Intradermal test – an injection of a small amount of allergen into the skin on the arm.
The number of tests may vary, but usually 65 percutaneous tests are done and 10 to 40 intradermal tests. These tests may be uncomfortable, but they are not painful. The results of the tests are interpreted 20 minutes after they are applied. Please do not apply any moisturizers to your skin before testing!
Because certain medications block allergy skin tests, please do not take any antihistamines or certain tranquilizers without checking with our office at least 1 week before your appointment. If you are not sure of the identity of your medication, please call your pharmacist. Continue to take all other medications according to your doctor's instructions. Do not stop any of your asthma medications.
APPROXIMATE CHARGES (subject to change)
An initial allergy evaluation may cost up to $1,200, depending upon the extent of the testing required. This cost may include skin tests, pulmonary function tests, and/or sinus CT scans. This cost does not include allergy treatment, allergy extracts, or additional blood tests.
If the treatment requires allergy injections to be given in our office, the charge per visit can be $29 to $41, depending on the number of injections and the type of antigen you require. The injections are given twice a week during the "build-up" period, and then once a week when maintenance is reached.
First, please call your pharmacy for refills. Call us during office hours for problems and questions regarding prescriptions and refills.
You should verify with your insurance carrier the specific benefits of your plan. If your insurance company requires a referral to pay for services, please contact your primary care physician to insure that the referral is sent to our office PRIOR to your appointment. Your healthcare insurance company mandates that we cannot see you without a written referral.
We wish to stress that the financial responsibility for payment rests entirely with the patient. Many patients have the mistaken belief that their insurance company is responsible to the doctor, and that it is the doctor's obligation to be sure benefits are paid. This is not the case.
Our billing is monthly. We file claims with most insurance companies. You will need to bring your insurance card and a picture ID to your visit. We will collect co-payments, deductibles and co-insurance at the time of your appointment.
Please contact us immediately at 719-955-6007.
Please contact our practice manager at 719-955-6000 or info [at] stormsallergy [dot] com if you have any complaints and/or complements about your experience in our office. We do want the opportunity to improve and to continue to offer the highest quality service to all those we serve!
We look forward to meeting you and helping with your medical problems.

My wife's aunt will be a saint after she is gone. She retired to help take care of our kids while we are at work and does not charge one dime. In spending so much time with the kids, she has become very close with them, and my oldest, who is 3 1/2, likes to have a sleepover about once a week. The past couple of weeks, my daughter calls us with the help of my aunt and asks for another day. We always say yes, but each time, I feel sad because I miss my daughter when I don't see her for what becomes a three-day stretch. Am I being ridiculous, or should I make my feelings known? Please help!
You should probably let your daughter know how much you miss her when she is gone. Then maybe next time she wants to spend the night longer, you could offer to take her somewhere "just the two of you". It may be that your daughter is enjoying the "one on one" time her aunt offers her. I know having siblings can be challenging, so try to let your daughter know how much she is missed and loved. If you think the aunt is encouraging her to sleep over more, then you may have to let her know that you appreciate her help, but that you miss your daughter too. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Facial recognition face-off: Three tools compared
Last week's Picasa software update from Google brought with it a neat trick--facial recognition. But it wasn't the first free consumer photo-editing software to find faces. In January, Apple unveiled the latest version of iLife, which included an updated version of iPhoto that could detect and recognize faces in your photos. And this time last year, Microsoft released an updated version of its Windows Live Photo Gallery desktop software that could find faces inside of photos, though it couldn't (and still can't) recognize who's in them.
So, how do these three stack up? To figure that out, we put them to the test. Using 500 sample photos on fresh installs of each program, we tracked around how long each of the tools took to process all the photos, as well as some notable hits and misses from each.
To be fair, our results may not scale, or match the experience you will have. For one, we're using a test bed of photos that's almost entirely 12-megapixel JPEG files, whereas some people may be shooting smaller or larger files that may be in different formats and contain large groups of people--something that can slow these programs down. You're also likely to have a whole lot more than 500 photos sitting around on your computer; we certainly do.
Note: Adobe's PhotoShop Elements software (for Windows | Mac), which also includes a facial recognition feature was not included in this roundup since it's a paid application. Technically iPhoto is as well, but we included it since it comes free on all Macs.
The apps and workflowsiPhoto
iPhoto is the only product of the bunch that's Mac-only. It comes bundled with all new Macs, but the latest version (which includes face detection) must be purchased as a software upgrade if you've got iPhoto '08 or lower. We've included it in this roundup as a free product since it comes bundled with all new Macs.
Face scanning in iPhoto happens automatically, but it's largely a manual process, requiring users to "train" the system to recognize certain faces. The program took around nine minutes to scan through our 500 test photos and when it was done it didn't offer up any suggestions of photos with faces in them.
Instead, users are required to click on a photo with a face in it and hope the program picked it up. If it has, users can simply type the name in--which will auto complete if the person is in your Mac address book. If someone's face was not found, but you can see it in the photo, you can manually contain the face inside of a box, then tag it with their name.
After you add names to just few photos, iPhoto's system begins to piece together others that look the same--although it doesn't learn as fast as it does for photos where it already found the faces. In my testing, it only took two photos to get it to offer up some more suggestions. If those suggestions are correct, continuing to add them was just a matter of a few clicks.
iPhoto's system for doing this isn't perfect though.… Read more

or cause reflux of food or
vomiting. Hiccups is rarely a medical emergency.

Our ServicesSupport for Web publishing at Santa Clara University is provided by the Office of Marketing and Communications, Information Services, the Webmaster and Web Applications Developer in the Media Services department, and system and network administrators in the Information Technology department. Web Publishing NewsSurvey System UpdatesThe survey system now includes a few changes - the most significant change is that you'll no longer be required to "activate" a survey in order for it to be published - the availability of a survey form will now be controlled by its publication dates. With this change, you will now be able to modify the survey form once it is in use - previously, changes to the survey required that the data be cleared and the survey de-activated first. That's no longer required. Other changes in this update include: create "views" to display survey results easily, an "attachment/image" field type has been added, questions and question groups can now be copied within a survey, and survey questions can be easily moved (drag and drop) to new positions. Read More »Media Player Element and playback controlsWhen using the Media Player element to embed a SWF video in a Commonspot page, you can optionally set the "controller" script parameter to "true" to display the play/pause/volume controls. The control bar is always displayed for FLV video, but is not shown by default for SWF files. Read More »Blog ManagerThe new Blog Manager system is now active. If you maintain blog content in Commonspot, you will now need to login to the Blog Manager to add blog posts, or edit previous posts. If you have questions about this change, or need assistance with the new system, please send a Support Request to the OMC/Media Services Web Publishing team. Read More »Link Style ChangeThe font style and color have changed for text links in SCU Web sites. Previously, links were formatted in bold text with a beige color. We'd received lots of feedback about that style - many people found it difficult to identify links within blocks of text, due to the lack of an underline below the text, and similar color values for standard and linked text. In this style update, links are displayed in red with a dotted-line underline in paragraph text blocks. Links within lists are displayed in red without the underline style, and links within feature elements and the right column elements are displayed in the original style. Read More »Include preview images in the Media Player elementThe Media Player element now supports an additional custom script parameter - "preview" - the URL path to a preview image to be displayed in the video player window. Read More »Survey Manager now supports quizzesThe Survey Manager system can now be used to build online quizzes or tests. When configuring a survey, you'll see the option available to present the form as a quiz, followed by additional options for handling scoring, correct answers, and the quiz results. Read More »Custom event calendars: select by locationThe campus calendar now allows custom calendars to be constructed using the event location for selection. Here's an example: http://www.scu.edu/is/about/events.cfm - listing all events scheduled to take place in the Learning Commons building. Read More »Commonspot authoring access on Wednesday, 4/15There will be a short interruption in Commonspot authoring access, now planned for Wednesday (4/15) morning. The system operators will be upgrading and patching the authoring server, which will require stopping authoring and Commonspot replication for about an hour. This was originally planned for Tuesday afternoon, but has been rescheduled. Read More »SCU home page and base template changesThe "SCU Experience" presentation is now live on the SCU home page - each of the core attributes contains two features, including video and image slideshows. The base template has also been modified - the university seal has taken the place of the mission icon in the image at the top of each page. Read More »A work-around for "hopping" Commonspot iconsCommonspot users frequently encounter problems with access to element icons in pages that have content "below the fold" - content that is not visible when the page content is scrolled to the top of the window. Clicking on an element icon can cause the page view to "hop" to the top of the page, and you then lose access to the element's menu options. A work-around for this problem is to press the CTRL key (Windows) or Command key (Mac) when clicking the element icon. That should prevent the view from resetting to the top of the page. Credit for this useful tip goes to OMC student assistant Chris. Read More » |

Indian Valley Editor
A proposal to shut off 19 streetlights in Taylorsville, Greenville and Canyon Dam will be up for action tonight, Wednesday, March 3, at 6:30 p.m. Directors of the Indian Valley Community Services District will meet in the Indian Valley Civic Center, at 430 Main St. in Greenville.
The lights were designated nonessential, after meetings in February among directors, PG&E representatives and Fire Chief Jim Hamblin.
The issue of streetlights and how they are paid for has been on the district agenda many times in the past two or more decades, especially during those times when the county doesn't want to contribute toward the $14,000 annual cost.
Such was the case last year, when directors were advised not to expect financial support from the county anymore.
For the past several years, the county has contributed about 25 percent of the costs.
The service districts and the county seem to have the same problem according to Public Works Assistant Engineer John Kolb.
"They cannot raise rates to pay for higher energy costs without placing the issue before voters in their district, a Proposition 281 requirement," he said.
lt;p> Services districts like in Indian Valley and East Quincy receive a lump sum of tax money from the county.
"How they choose to spend that money is entirely up to them," he added.
The Indian Valley directors have chosen to spend most of their money on the fire and rescue department, with small portions allotted to other community services, such as the parks, pool and campground.
There have been talks of forming a countywide streetlight district and taking the matter to voters according to Kolb, but the consensus seems to be that such a move would be an expensive failure in the current economic and political climate.
Directors tried to recoup the money in 2005, by initiating a utility fee on the sewer bills of residents, but the fee was removed in 2007, in deference to Proposition 218, though they still believe their case in billing for the lights was a good one, according to director and finance committee member Jane Braxton Little.
Among the lights proposed to be shut off are five in Taylorsville, 12 in Greenville and two that are located outside the district boundaries, one in Mount Hough Estates and one in Canyon Dam.
The estimated annual savings of the action would be about $2,425.
Meanwhile, directors would continue to work with county supervisors toward a countywide streetlight district.
For those unable to make the meeting, a recording will be available via the district's website and indianvalleycsd.com.
Visitors to the site can click on agendas and minutes, then on the March 2010 meeting agenda, and a link to the recording will be available at the bottom of the agenda, usually within a couple days of the meeting.

October 1643
[9 October, 1643.]
Sellers of Wine that pay Excise may take 14d. per quart for Spanish wines, and 8d. per quart for French wines.
Whereas by a late Ordinance of both Houses of Parliament for a charge of Excise or new Impost to be set upon the Commodities in a Schedule thereunto annexed, contained, for the supply of the great Affaires of this Kingdome, whereby it is amongst other things provided, That the sellers of Wine, who are chargeable with the Excise, shall be allowed the same in the price thereof upon the sale; but for that no certaine price is set downe in the said Ordinance for Wines to be sold at, Be it now declared and ordained by the Lords and Commons in Parliament, That the Sellers of Wines who shall pay the Excise, shall or may take for all Spanish Wines sold for every quart fourteene pence; and for all French Wines sold eight pence for every quart and so proportionably after that rate. Which said prices shall or may be taken without incurring the penalties of any Law or Statute, so as the due Measures and Assizes be otherwise kept and observed, as by the Law is provided, and the Wines to be good and wholesome, and merchantable.
Alderman Langham, Commissioner, discharged.; Powers to Commissioners of Excise.
And be it further Declared and Ordained, That Master Alderman Langham, who was named a Commissioner in the said former Ordinance, in respect of his other great and necessary occasions, shall be wholly discharged of the said service, and the other seven Commissioners shall have power to execute the said Ordinance, as if the said Alderman Langham, had not beene named therein. And further, That the respective Commissioners of Excize, or the major part of them, shall have power to call before them any person or persons whom they shall thinke fit, being subject to the said Ordinance for any matter touching the same, or that can testifie or informe any thing materiall to the said service: And shall have power to grant their Warrants for the bringing in of such persons as shall wilfully refuse or neglect to come before them upon warning, and to punish such persons for their contempt or disobedience in that behalfe by Fine or Amercement, to be levied, and employed in such manner as is appointed for the other penalties by the said Ordinance, so as the same doe not exceed five pounds for any one offence.

How soon after hiring someone would you subject them to the possibility of a written warning?
Of a written warning? I don't know...for us, we usually do at least a 30-60 day ramp-up period. Since a written warning would be the 2nd step, they technically wouldn't get a written until at least 4 months into employment.
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to go through several months of warnings if it was obvious within three days that they're not going to work out.
This brings up an interesting point - we don't hire anyone directly, we go through a placement agency for (almost all) of our hires, so we "try before you buy" on almost all hourly/picking/packing/production type positions. We are a decent size, but not too big (not enough to constitute an hr person) so the whole hiring/firing/corrective action is a big PITA and done sparingly. We've migrated to the whole temp-to-hire placement model (the agencies will administer lots of tests - dexterity, typing, software skills, whatever you need) and they might cost a buck or two apiece for each employee you specify is up to snuff and that you'd like to interview.
It's pretty much an "employer's market" right now and we are getting surprisingly qualified and competent candidates through placement and temp agencies. We usually do 3 months before we decide if we are a right fit for each other (them for us, us for them). It's a higher rate of pay since the agency gets a percent, but much easier to let people go if they are simply not working. We've had people who seemed GREAT at first, but once they settled in after a month or so, simply weren't a good fit. We like to see how people behave past the "honeymoon phase", and going through a temp agency allows us to do that.
I talked to an owner of a 10m internet company who used nothing but temps. Permanently. Once they've gone past the 90 days, we bring them on, do benefits and all that good stuff, but he did not want any employees - had been burned in the past and didn't want anything to do with hr-type stuff. Even his president(!) of several years had a phd and was still an agency employee.

Scorpion stings — although painful — are mostly harmless. As many as 1,500 species of scorpions have been described worldwide, but only about 30 of these are considered dangerous. In the United States, only the bark scorpion, found mainly in the desert Southwest, has venom potent enough to cause severe symptoms. Elsewhere, lethal scorpion stings occur predominantly in Mexico, South America, parts of Africa, the Middle East and India.
Scorpion stings are most serious in young children, older adults and pets. In the United States, healthy adults usually don't need treatment for scorpion stings, but if your child is stung, always get immediate medical care.

Doctorow's famous novel conjures up the steaming melting pot of New York City at the beginning of the 20th century. Three interwoven stories explore the American dream within a colorful musical landscape inspired by the ragtime greats of yore. I'm told a replica of a Model T will be built right on stage.

Essential Southern Plant
When Magnolia tree's sweet fragrance fills the air, you know you're in the South.
- Magnoliaceae
- Deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs
- Zones vary by species
- Full sun or partial shade
- Regular water
Magnificent flowering plants featuring blossoms in white, pink, red, purple, or yellow. Magnolia trees are diverse in leaf shape and plant form, and they include both evergreen and deciduous sorts. They aren't usually munched by deer.
The following text classifies magnolias by general type; the chart lists species, hybrids, and selections alphabetically. New magnolias seem to appear almost hourly, but most garden centers carry only a few. To track down a prized selection, you'll probably need to hunt through mail-order catalogs.
Magnolia Tree Types
Whether evergreen or deciduous, most magnolias have large, striking blossoms composed of petal-like segments. A few are grown
for use as foliage plants.
Evergreen magnolias. To many people, the word "magnolia" is synonymous with our native Magnolia grandiflora, the classic Southern magnolia with large, glossy leaves and huge, fragrant white blossoms―the state flower of Mississippi and Louisiana. Few trees can match it for year-round beauty. It does, however, have its drawbacks. Unnamed seedlings often take 10 years after planting before they come into bloom. Dense shade and shallow roots make it impossible to grow grass beneath the canopy, and the roots often crack and lift pavement if the tree is planted between sidewalk and curb. Leaves drop 365 days a year. And since the tree grows as wide as 40 ft., it takes up a lot of garden space.
Sweet bay (M. virginiana), a smaller tree, is easier to fit into most gardens. Though mostly deciduous in the Upper and Middle South, it's evergreen
in the Lower and Coastal South and more cold hardy than
M. grandiflora.
Deciduous magnolias with saucer flowers. This group includes the popular saucer magnolia (M. x soulangeana) and its myriad selections, often called tulip trees because of the shape and bright color of their flowers. They prefer fertile, acid, well-drained soil. They do not tolerate heavy wind or salt spray. Early-flowering selections are prone to frost damage. Related to these, but less tolerant of winter cold and summer heat, are the spectacular magnolias from western China and the Himalayas―Sargent magnolia (M. sargentiana) and Sprenger magnolia (M. sprengeri). Though their early flowers may fall victim to late freezes, one spring season with good blooms will quickly make you forget the disappointments of years past.
Deciduous magnolias with star flowers. This group includes Kobus magnolia (M. kobus), Loebner magnolia (M. x loebneri), and star magnolia (M. stellata). All are cold-hardy, heat-tolerant, adaptable plants. Late frosts sometimes damage their early blooms.
Other magnolias. Less widely planted―but deserving of greater attention―is a group of large-leafed native magnolias generally grown as bold accents or shade trees. Cucumber tree (M. acuminata) and its smaller sibling, yellow cucumber tree (M. a. subcordata), are the source of the yellow blossom color of many new hybrids. Bigleaf magnolia (M. macrophylla), umbrella magnolia (M. tripetala), Fraser magnolia (M. fraseri), and Ashe magnolia (M. ashei) are medium-size trees with huge leaves and large flowers that appear after the leaves unfurl.
In its own category is Oyama magnolia (M. sieboldii), native to western China. It bears drooping, cup-shaped, fragrant blooms after leaves emerge.
Magnolia Tree Culture
For any magnolia, pick planting site carefully. Virtually all types are hard to move once established, and many grow quite
large. The best soil for magnolias is fairly rich, well drained, and neutral to slightly acid; if necessary, add generous
amounts of organic matter when planting. Southern magnolia (M. grandiflora) is good for planting at the beach, though not on dunes. Sweet bay (M. virginiana) tolerates wet soil. The species and selections listed in the chart are adapted to a wide range of growing conditions and
are easy for most gardeners to grow.
Magnolias never look their best when crowded, and they may be severely damaged by digging around their roots. Larger deciduous sorts are most attractive standing alone against a background that will display their flowers at bloom time and show off their strongly patterned, usually gray limbs and big, fuzzy flower buds in winter. Small deciduous magnolias show up well in large flower or shrub borders and make choice ornaments in Asian-style gardens. Most magnolias are excellent lawn trees; try to provide a good-size grass-free area around the trunk, and don't plant under the tree.
Balled-and-burlapped plants are available in late winter and early spring; container plants are sold all year. Do not set
plants lower than their original soil level. Stake single-trunked or very heavy plants to prevent them from being rocked by
wind, which will tear the thick, fleshy, sensitive roots. To avoid damaging the roots, set stakes in planting hole before
placing tree. Prevent soil compaction around root zone by keeping foot traffic to a minimum. Prune only when absolutely necessary.
Magnolias seldom have serious pest or disease problems.
Grumpy Gardener's Guide to Magnolia Trees
Grumpy Gardener Steve Bender shares tips and tricks on how to plant and care for the iconic Magnolia Tree.
Magnolia Tree Gardening Tips
Careful Siting: Pick a location where the shallow, fleshy roots won't be damaged by digging or by soil compaction from constant foot traffic.
Soil: Magnolias appreciate fairly rich, well-drained, neutral to slightly acid soil amended with plenty of organic matter at planting time. They will grow in somewhat alkaline soil but may develop chlorosis (yellow leaves with green veins).
Mulching: At least in the early years, keep a cooling mulch over the root area.
Watering: Irrigate deeply and thoroughly, but don't waterlog the soil or the tree will drown. Only M. virginiana can take constantly wet soil.
Fertilizing: Treat chlorosis with iron chelates. Feed trees if new growth is scanty or weak, or if you see significant dieback despite adequate watering and drainage. Use a controlled-release product; magnolias are very susceptible to salt damage from overfertilizing, resulting in burned leaf edges.
Pruning: For deciduous magnolias, best time is after bloom; for evergreen kinds, do the job before the spring growth flush. Best method is to remove the entire twig or limb right to its base. Cuts on deciduous kinds are often slow to heal, so prune these only when necessary to correct plant's shape, eliminate or cut back wayward branches, or remove lower limbs from trunk as tree gains height. -

A Dimmick Street man suffered a head injury when he was struck by a falling tree limb just before noon Sunday.
Watertown City Fire Chief Dale C. Herman said the man, whose name was not released, was rendered unconscious by the blow and taken by Guilfoyle Ambulance Service to Samaritan Medical Center for treatment.
The accident occurred when the large, ice-covered limb snapped from a tree at 501 Dimmick St., falling into a neighbors driveway. The injured mans condition was not immediately available.

The infamous Omak Suicide Race claimed another horse this year. Deuce, ridden by Tony Desautel, broke his shoulder in a pileup on suicide hill, and was euthanized after he (barely) was able to swim across the Okanogan River. Deuce is the latest victim of an event that has claimed the lives of 13 horses since 1983, when PAWS began investigating the race. Two animal advocates attended this year's race armed with a Hi-8 video camera they had purchased specifically for the event. They captured the death throes of Deuce as he slowly died in the river. PAWS advocate Mike Jones was able to obtain the footage and present it on the nationally syndicated "Extra" TV magazine show. "PAWS is opposed to the race for the simple reason that it kill horses," said Jones on Extra. The Suicide Race is held every year in Omak, Washington as part of the Omak Stampede rodeo.

WordPress Themes
If you are setting up a WordPress blog and are looking for free wordpress themes, there are many.� But there are also some advantages to purchasing a premium wordpress theme.� And the cost is usually very reasonable.
WordPress Hack has a good article about WordPress Themes and choosing the right wordpress theme for your project.
They cover issues around support and customization of the theme.
One interesting thing I learned about WordPress Themes from the article is that there is a problem with people selling bad themes as premium themes.� Since I am very careful with my shopping, I have never experienced that.� But I can see how someone new to WordPress could easily be fooled.]
The good thing is that you can find and install WordPress themes in a few minutes, and if you do not like them you can change the theme in seconds.� It is very nice.� Go try a few free wordpress themes first, and if the basics are not enough for you, then go shopping for a premium WordPress Theme.

On the mystery of a ball that fills a box, but vanishes in the vastness of higher dimensions
Brian Hayes
When I discovered the n-ball formula, I did not pause to investigate its provenance or derivation. I was impatient to plug in some numbers and see what would come out. So I wrote a hasty one-line program in Mathematica and began tabulating the volume of a unit ball in various dimensions. I had definite expectations about the outcome. I believed that the volume of the unit ball would increase steadily with n, though at a lower rate than the volume of the enclosing s=2 cube, thereby confirming Bellman's curse of dimensionality. Here are the first few results returned by the program:
I noted immediately that the values for one, two and three dimensions agreed with the results I already knew. (This kind of confirmation is always reassuring when you run a program for the first time.) I also observed that the volume was slowly increasing with n, as I had expected.
But then I looked at the continuation of the table:
Beyond the fifth dimension, the volume of a unit n-ball decreases as n increases! I tried a few larger values of n, finding that V(20,1) is about 0.0258, and V(100,1) is in the neighborhood of 10–40. Thus it looked very much like the n-ball dwindles away to nothing as n approaches infinity.

What an interesting article! Thanks. I think the "zany" attribute is lessened if you take the "unit" n-ball as having radius 1/2. I.e. it fits in a "unit" n-cube. See http://dbarc.net/dcnballs.jpg...posted by Dave CromleyDecember 10, 2011 @ 6:44 PM
