Abstract: In the past few years, e-government has been a topic of much interest among those excited about the advent of Web 2.0 technologies. This paper reviews the recent literature concerning Web 2.0, social media, social networking, and how it has been used in the public sector. Key observations include literature themes such as the evolution of social media case studies in the literature, the progress of social media policies and strategies over time, and social media use in disaster management as an important role for government. Other observations include the lack of a tangible goal for e-government, and the idea that significant change is still needed in government culture, philosophy of control, and resource management before broad sustainable success can be achieved in the use of social media.
Keywords: e-government, social media, social networking

text: Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Ian Desmond drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the seventh inning, as Washington edged Arizona, 5-3, in the rubber match of a three-game series at Nationals Park. Josh Willingham doubled and hit a two-run homer for the Nationals, who ended a six-game homestand with a 2-4 mark. Ryan Zimmerman added a solo homer. Stephen Strasburg, making his second start since a stint on the disabled list, allowed three runs -- one earned -- on five hits over five innings to take a no-decision. Tyler Clippard (9-6) tossed two scoreless frames of relief to record the win. Adam LaRoche went 3-for-4 with a solo homer for the Diamondbacks, who finished a seven-game road trip with a 4-3 record. Gerardo Parra had an RBI. Barry Enright went five frames in the start, giving up three runs on six hits. Jordan Norberto (0-2) gave up a run in the seventh to take the loss.

Hamilton will not rule out Ferrari move
Lewis Hamilton has refused to rule out a future move to Ferrari but insists he is not currently thinking of joining the Italian team.
Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali has previously said that his team could attempt to sign the former world champion even if it means pairing him with Fernando Alonso again.
Hamilton and Alonso endured a tumultuous season together at McLaren in 2007 and many thought that they would not be able to work together again.
But Hamilton hinted that he may still be open to driving for Ferrari, although he says he has no plans of pursuing the switch at the moment.
"At the moment I don't have any plans to do so, it is not something I desire or feel that I have to do," he told Spanish newspaper AS.
He added: "But we are talking about a fantastic team and you never know what could happen in the future."
The British driver was also quick to praise Alonso, who is contracted to Ferrari until the end of 2016, for his ability and experience.
"Alonso is a very, very fast driver, incredibly fast, with extraordinary talent and incredible speed. You know that he will always give his best," Hamilton said.
"I learned a lot with him as a driver, I improved my driving thanks to having him as a team-mate."

Lisa A. Bono has been involved in all aspects of aviculture over the past 3 1/2 decades, as well as being a caregiver to numerous species of parrots during that time. The budgerigar she was given as a child was her constant companion and led her down a lifelong path in aviculture.
In the early 1990s, Bono founded the Sussex County Exotic Bird Club and served as president-elect for nine years along with other duties within the club, which included behavioral assessments for adoptions, lost and found, events coordinator, newsletter editor, and the outreach/educational programs for different communities and school systems. Shortly thereafter, Bono assisted with the formation of Bird Clubs of NJ. There were five sister clubs with a membership hovering near 1,000.
In the fall of 2000, Bono was given the privilege of sharing her life with a baby African grey parrot, which, unbeknownst to her, was ill. During his short time on earth, Bono was thrown into a world of having to learn every detail about this species. With his passing, she vowed to continue learning to ensure the best life possible for African greys everywhere.
Bono became involved in Parrots At Play, Inc. and is the current vice president and on the Board of Directors. The Parrots At Play Program is a charitable, volunteer, 501 (c) 3 corporation formed for purposes of fundraising to support nonprofit avian organizations helping birds. It is utilized by many avian organizations across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Additionally, Bono has also been a volunteer for The Alex Foundation since 2003. Bono served as Dr. Irene Pepperberg's assistant when traveling with her.Bono has written or co- authored articles that have appeared in BIRD TALK magazine, Birds USA magazine, MyLifeBook, BirdChannel.com and various bird club newsletters. Bono is also the guest behaviorist on Africangreys.com.
In 2008, Bono founded The Platinum Parrot in Barnegat Township, New Jersey, a specialty store devoted specifically to parrots and the needs of their owners. This storefront is the stage for ongoing educational seminars, roundtables and fundraising events. She believes The Platinum Parrot is the first of its kind in the state of New Jersey offering only supplies, while pairing with rescues to help unwanted birds find new homes.
Bono joined the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants — Parrot Division in 2009. She is an associate certified parrot behavior consultant, specializing in the African grey parrots. Bono also joined the Association of Avian Veterinarians as an allied professional member in order to continue her education at a whole new level.
Educational components for Bono's knowledge stem from veterinary and behavior conferences, the LLP course: Living & Learning with Parrots, hands-on training seminars spanning two decades and being mentored by some of the most knowledgeable and well-respected veterinarians, scientists, nutritionists and behaviorists in the field of aviculture.
Bono and her husband Sergeant First Class George W. Bono, currently reside with their flock of four African grey parrots: Emma Lynn, Sydney Bell, Abigail Grace and Stirling. Harley, a double yellow-headed Amazon parrot, and Ollie, a white-bellied caique, also keep them on their toes.

Samsung announces a combo receiver/Blu-ray player
LAS VEGAS--We're used to seeing AV receivers with integrated Blu-ray players in home-theater-in-a-box systems, but they're pretty rare as standalone products.
Samsung's newly announced HW-D7000 combines a full, component-style AV receiver with a Blu-ray player, packed with features on both counts. The receiver has standard midrange specs, such as 120 watts per channel, four HDMI inputs (each with audio return channel and 3D compatibility), and DTS-HD Master Audio/Dolby TrueHD/Dolby Pro Logic IIz sound processing.
The HW-D7000's Blu-ray features are similar to those of other high-end Blu-ray players Samsung is showing at CES 2011, although … Read more

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
In telecommunications, squelch is a circuit function that acts to suppress the audio (or video) output of a receiver in the absence of a sufficiently strong desired input signal. Squelch is widely used in two-way radios to suppress the annoying sound of channel noise when the radio is not receiving a transmission.
A carrier squelch or noise squelch is the most simple variant of all. It operates strictly on the signal strength, such as when a television mutes the audio or blanks the video on "empty" channels, or when a walkie talkie mutes the audio when no signal is present. In some designs, the squelch threshold is preset. For example, television squelch settings are usually preset. Receivers in base stations at remote mountain top sites are usually not adjustable remotely from the control point.
In devices such as two-way radios (also known as radiotelephones), the squelch can be adjusted with a knob, others have push buttons or a sequence of button presses. This setting adjusts the threshold at which signals will open (un-mute) the audio channel. Backing off the control will turn on the audio, and the operator will hear white noise (also called "static" or squelch noise) if there is no signal present. The usual operation is to adjust the control until the channel just shuts off - then only a small threshold signal is needed to turn on the speaker. However, if a weak signal is annoying, the operator can adjust the squelch to open only when stronger signals are received.
A typical FM two-way radio carrier squelch circuit is noise operated. It takes out the voice components of the receive audio by passing the detected audio through a high-pass filter. A typical filter might pass frequencies over 4,000 Hz (4 kHz). The squelch control adjusts the gain of an amplifier which varies the level of noise coming out of the filter. The audio output of the filter and amplifier is rectified and produces a DC voltage when noise is present. The presence of continuous noise on an idle channel creates a DC voltage which turns the receiver audio off. When a signal with little or no noise is received, the noise-derived voltage goes away and the receiver audio is unmuted. Some applications have the receiver tied to other equipment that uses the audio muting control voltage as a "signal present" indication.
Tone squelch, or other forms of selective calling, is sometimes used to solve interference problems. Where more than one user is on the same channel (co-channel users), selective calling addresses a subset of all receivers. Instead of turning on the receive audio for any signal, the audio turns on only in the presence of the correct selective calling code. This is akin to the use of a lock on a door. A carrier squelch is unlocked and will let any signal in. Selective calling locks out all signals except ones with the correct code.
In non-critical uses, selective calling can also be used to hide the presence of interfering signals such as receiver-produced intermodulation. Receivers with poor specifications—such as scanners or low-cost mobile radios—cannot reject the strong signals present in urban environments. The interference will still be present. It will still degrade system performance but by using selective calling the user will not have to hear the noises produced by receiving the interference.
Four different techniques are commonly used. Selective calling can be regarded as a form of in-band signalling.
CTCSS (Continuous Tone-Coded Squelch System) continuously superimposes any one of about 50 low-pitch audio tones on the transmitted signal, ranging from 67 to 254 Hz. The original tone set was 10, then 32 tones, and has been expanded even further over the years. CTCSS is often called PL tone (for Private Line, a trademark of Motorola), or simply tone squelch. General Electric's implementation of CTCSS is called Channel Guard (or CG). RCA Corporation used the name Quiet Channel, or QC. There are many other company-specific names used by radio vendors to describe compatible options. Any CTCSS system that has compatible tones is interchangeable. Old and new radios with CTCSS and radios across manufacturers are compatible.
Selcall (Selective Calling) transmits a burst of five inband audio tones at the beginning of each transmission. This feature (sometimes called "tone burst") is common in European systems. In the same way that a single CTCSS tone would be used on an entire group of radios, a single five-tone sequence is used in a group of radios. A 1750 Hz tone is used in European amateur radio repeater systems.
DCS (Digital-Coded Squelch) superimposes a continuous stream of FSK digital data, at 134.4 bits per second, on the transmitted signal. In the same way that a single CTCSS tone would be used on an entire group of radios, the same DCS code is used in a group of radios. DCS is also referred to as Digital Private Line (or DPL), another trademark of Motorola, and likewise, General Electric's implementation of DCS is referred to a Digital Channel Guard (or DCG). DCS is also called DTCS (Digital Tone Code Squelch) by Icom, and other names by other manufacturers. Radios with DCS options are generally compatible provided the radio's encoder-decoder will use the same code as radios in the existing system. Be aware that the same 23-bit DCS word can, for example, produce three different valid DCS codes due to the encoding architecture.
XTCSS is the newest signaling technique and it provides 99 codes with the added advantage of "silent operation". XTCSS fitted radios are purposed to enjoy more privacy and flexibility of operation. XTCSS is implemented as a combination of CTCSS and in-band signalling.
This section contains instructions, advice, or how-to content. (August 2012) |
Carrier squelch was invented first and is still in wide use in two-way/three-way radio, especially in the amateur radio world. Squelch of any kind is used to indicate loss of signal, which is used to keep commercial and amateur radio repeaters from transmitting continually. Since a carrier squelch receiver cannot tell a valid carrier from a spurious signal (noise, etc.) CTCSS is often used as well, as it avoids false keyups. Use of CTCSS is especially helpful on bands prone to skip and during band openings.
Family Radio Service (FRS) and PMR446 radios often use a number of different CTCSS tones, usually erroneously called "sub-channels" (the actual number of tones depends on the manufacturer). While these do not add to the available number of conversations which can take place at once in a given area, they do reduce annoying interference experienced by users. However they do not afford any protection from eavesdropping, as the voice signal is not encrypted. The squelch system relies on the receiver to comply with the squelch signal, but if a receiver chooses to listen in, the signal is not protected.
It is a bad idea to use any coded squelch system to hide interference issues in systems with life-safety or public-safety uses such as police, fire, search and rescue or ambulance company dispatching. Adding tone or digital squelch to a radio system does not solve interference issues, it just covers them up. The presence of interfering signals should be corrected rather than masked. Interfering signals masked by tone squelch will produce apparently random missed messages. The intermittent nature of interfering signals will make the problem difficult to reproduce and troubleshoot. Users will not understand why they cannot hear a call, and will lose confidence in their radio system.
Professional wireless microphones use squelch to avoid reproducing noise when the receiver does not receive enough signal from the microphone. Most professional models have adjustable squelch, usually set with a screwdriver adjustment on the receiver.

BPLG Expands Global Operations to India
PITTSBURGH, May 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — BPL Global®, Ltd. (BPLG), a smart grid technology company, today announced that it has opened an office in India as part of the company's on-going efforts to serve the global smart grid market. The new office in Gurgaon, Haryana provides BPLG with a base of operations to serve the growing market for smart grid solutions throughout India. BPLG has been serving the India market for some time and the growth of the business supports additional investment in operations there.

Electric grids worldwide are being transformed with intelligent systems and India's grid is part of that global movement. The International Energy Administration expects electricity demand in India to more than triple by 2035. A significant challenge in India's electric grid is maintaining the supply/demand balance. Simultaneous with the need for rapidly increased generation capacity and a transmission and distribution grid buildout is the need to manage peak demand. Smart grid technology will play a critical role in the future development of the electric grid in India. Data from market research firm Zpryme projects a 1.9 billion USD smart grid market for India in 2015 and includes smart meters, sensors, communications infrastructure and smart T&D equipment.
"Electric utilities value buying from companies with a local presence, and the market in India is a significant opportunity," said Peter Londa, CEO of BPLG. "Our experience in India demonstrated the viability of further investment in the region. With growing demand for our solutions in India, we are already seeing positive results."
Smart grid technology will allow India to accelerate progress in addressing some of the country's most pressing electrical needs. Key areas of investment will include managing demand to better align with generation capacity, integration of renewables and electricity storage as well as managing power quality. Demand management will include residential, commercial and industrial load as well as agricultural pumps. Intelligent management of distributed renewable energy resources combined with demand side management can improve system efficiency and reliability. The smart grid can also play a vital role in improving power quality through monitoring and control solutions implemented in the distribution grid.
"Investing in local resources to serve the rapidly growing smart grid market in India strengthens our ability to deliver our solutions for advanced distribution automation," said Bharat Vats, General Manager of India Operations for BPLG. "We can work more closely with electric utility executives faced with increasing expectations for reliability, efficiency and power quality."
BPLG's differentiation is in the ability of its suite of Connected Energy(TM) smart grid solutions to collaborate across the grid, realizing the value of an integrated smart grid. The company provides a leading suite of innovative smart grid solutions for advanced distribution automation from substations through customer premises. Operating on the company's Power SG® smart grid platform, BPLG's distribution solutions include grid management, demand management and integrated management of distributed energy resources (DER) including managed load, energy storage, electric vehicle charging, renewables and distributed generation. The company's substation solutions include its market leading transformer monitors as well as substation automation.

The Lady of Her Life: Dr. Maya Angelou Remembers Her Mother, Vivian BaxterPosted: Sun 09/08/2013 02:01 PM
Dr. Maya Angelou's latest book, Mom & Me & Mom, chronicles the deepest personal story of her life: The relationship with her mother, Vivian Baxter—a former nurse who ran her own gambling club, pool hall and boarding house. She was as fiery as she was nurturing. Dr. Angelou called her Lady.
Like a lot of mothers and daughters, their relationship was powerful yet complicated. When Dr. Angelou stopped speaking after she was sexually assaulted at age 7, Vivian sent her and her brother to live with their grandmother in Rural Stamps, Arkansas. When Maya turned 13, Vivian called them home to San Francisco. It was at that time Dr. Angelou truly got to know her mother. Dr. Angelou says the love of her mother, Vivian Baxter, encouraged her to live a life full of pizzazz. It was also that love that helped Dr. Angelou to become the first black streetcar conductor in San Francisco at age 16. "I loved the uniforms," Dr. Angelou says. "So I said, 'That's a job I want.'" When she went to get an application, Dr. Angelou says, the staff refused to give her one. Watch below to see how her mother encouraged her to persevere—and find out how Vivian made sure her daughter was safe at work during early-morning shifts. Dr. Angelou says that to describe her mother "would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power." One particular story from Dr. Angelou's life brings that to light. Watch below to find out how Vivian led the charge to rescue young Maya from an abusive boyfriend, who was holding her against her will for days: Though Dr. Angelou says Vivian was a "terrible" mother for young children, she was a "fantastic" mother for young adults. When Dr. Angelou was 22 years old, Vivian told her something that changed her life forever. Watch below to find out what it was: 3 More Life Lessons from Dr. Maya AngelouPosted: Sun 09/08/2013 02:00 PM
Last week, Oprah and Dr. Maya Angelou reminisced about some of the most meaningful moments of her extraordinary journey, and she gave us new insight into boundless accomplishments in her remarkable life.
Now, the conversation continues. Watch below as Dr. Angelou opens up about aging, the aha! moment that still moves her to tears and the best advice she ever received. Aging Brilliantly At age 85, Dr. Angelou is now a great-grandmother and still taking the world by storm with her writing, full schedule of speaking engagements and active Twitter account. Find out why she says she gets more grateful as she gets older. The Revelation That Changed Maya Angelou's Life When she was in her 20s, Dr. Maya Angelou discovered the Unity Church. Founded in 1889, Unity is a Christian movement that emphasizes affirmative prayer and education as a path to spirituality. Watch as she is moved to tears while recalling the revelation that changed her life forever. The Best Advice She Ever Gave—and Received Dr. Maya Angelou's wisdom has inspired countless people around the world, but what does she say is the best advice she's ever given? Find out what it is and to whom she gave it. Plus, get the best advice Dr. Angelou ever received. 20 Timeless Thoughts from Dr. Maya AngelouPosted: Fri 09/06/2013 12:00 AM
Look back at the wisdom of Dr. Maya Angelou >> This Sunday, watch an encore of Oprah's two-hour interview with Dr. Maya Angelou at 11 a.m. ET/PT on OWN. Dr. Maya Angelou to Oprah: Stop Crying and Say Thank You!Posted: Wed 09/04/2013 12:00 AM
Last summer, Oprah wrote a note thanking one person she can always count on in her most fearful moments—Dr. Maya Angelou.
"Years ago I phoned her complaining about what I've now long forgotten," Oprah wrote. "She shared these words, 'Courage is the most important of all the virtues, without it, you can practice no other.' It takes courage to be kind when others are not. It takes courage to be truthful when a lie might suffice. It takes courage to keep moving forward, when you'd rather quit. I've learned that courage, or opting for bravery, is feeling the fear and still doing what is necessary to overcome it. And in the very act of bravery you don't feel brave but just feel what is true and most real." In this vintage clip from The Oprah Winfrey Show, Oprah and Dr. Angelou discuss one of Oprah's most desolate moments and how Dr. Angelou helped her get through it. Get the advice Dr. Angelou shared with Oprah that day and practice it in your own life. Watch an encore of Oprah's two-hour interview with Dr. Maya Angelou this Sunday at 11 a.m ET/PT on OWN.

The ethanol industry, which was reeling from a drought-induced downturn last year, is making a comeback.
"Last year was such a beatdown in the industry," said Thomas Hitchcock, Redfield Energy CEO. "This year is a much better picture."
Hitchcock said the most important financial margin — the cost of buying corn versus the selling price of ethanol — has improved significantly since the beginning of the year. Since Jan. 2, corn prices are down 48 cents a bushel, and wholesale ethanol prices are up 27 cents a gallon, he said.
"It doesn't take a lot of math ability to see that is a big improvement for us," Hitchcock said. "Corn is 80 percent of the cost of production, so when the corn price goes down and the price of the ethanol we sell goes up at the same time, we are doing well."
In addition to producing bio-fuel, ethanol plants produce distiller's grain (a high-protein livestock feed) and corn oil. The market for those products since the first of the year has also been good,
Hitchcock said.
"We are generating cash and paying down debt," he said. "Relative to what we budgeted for in our fiscal year (which ends Aug. 31), we are doing better than expected."
Jim Seurer, CEO at Glacial Lakes Energy, said improved margins are helping improve cash flow.
"We have been making money and paying down debt," he said. "The market can change quickly, but right now it looks like we will end our fiscal year on Aug. 31 in the black."
The higher wholesale price of ethanol is due to a nationwide decrease in ethanol production.
Twenty of the nation's 211 ethanol plants shut down indefinitely, while another 15 were shut down temporarily because of the drought, according to a by The Associated Press.
Ethanol plants in the driest sections of the country were the ones most likely to shut down because of a shortage of corn. Even if the facility could get corn, it was expensive.
Production nationwide dropped from 13.9 billion gallons of ethanol in 2011 to 13.3 billion in 2012, the first decline since 1996, according to the AP.
Companies that buy ethanol to blend with gasoline have tapped some of their reserves, increasing the demand for ethanol.
Ethanol producers in northeast South Dakota have fared better than in more drought-stricken areas. Access to corn, as well as slightly cheaper corn, have made a difference. While profit margins for ethanol plants plummeted in 2012, area ethanol plants kept producing.
In fact, many plants pushed production to pick up the slack from plants that went off-line. Both Glacial Lakes and Redfield Energy continue to produce as much ethanol as possible.
"We have been pushing the limits and continue to set new production records at both our plants," said Seurer.
The Glacial Lakes plants in Mina and Watertown are designed to produce a maximum of 100 million gallons of ethanol a year. With refinements to equipment and processes, both plants are now producing between 115 million to 120 million gallons a year, he said.
Redfield Energy has also been pushing production. The plant, designed to produce 50 million gallons a year, is producing about 60 million, Hitchcock said.
Glacial Lakes has been using much of its income to pay down debt, Seurer said.

ITT To Plead Guilty to Exporting Night Vision Technology to China
ITT Corp. has agreed to plead guilty and pay a penalty of up to $100 million for illegally exporting night vision goggles in 2001 to China, Singapore and the United Kingdom, the U.S. Justice Department said.
It said ITT agreed to admit it exported the goggles without having first obtained a license or written authorization from the State Department.
As first reported by NBC News, U.S. officials charge that in order to save money, ITT U.S. to Fine ITT For Allowing China to Obtain Night Vision Goggles outsourced some of the manufacturing to a company in Singapore. That company, in turn, subcontracted some of the work to companies in China.
"They have all our technology now," a law enforcement official told NBC News.
The fine is one of the largest ever for a violation of U.S. laws limiting the export of critical technology.
Among the secrets in the current design were methods for counteracting lasers, which can be used to blind older night-vision equipment. The technology also include sensitivity to temperatures, allowing the goggles to "see" through smoke and haze.
Law enforcement officials say when the U.S. first suspected a problem, ITT continued to mislead investigators, insisting no laws were violated.
As part of the fine, ITT will be required to spend $50 million to develop a new generation of night vision equipment.
"We have been cooperating with the government in this investigation and we have voluntarily disclosed all discrepancies that our internal reviews revealed," said Steven R. Loranger, chairman, president and chief executive officer of ITT, in a prepared statement released Tuesday. "While this settlement relates to the actions of a few individuals in one of our 15 business units, we regret very much that these serious violations occurred. I want to reinforce, however, that the heart of our night vision goggles -- the tube -- is secure. No technical information regarding the tube was ever compromised."
ITT first disclosed the investigation into its night vision goggle business last year, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
At the time, the company said it was cooperating with the U.S. Attorney in Virginia, and that it had conducted its own investigation and turned the findings over to prosecutors.
In its latest annual report, ITT said, "The Company is in negotiations with the Government to resolve this matter and a settlement is expected in the Spring of 2007." That, apparently, is what the Justice Department will announce today.
Funds Set Aside
ITT has apparently set aside the funds to cover the night vision settlement expected to be announced today.
The company announced on December 15 a reserve of $25 million "in anticipation of resolution of a legal matter in its Roanoke-based Night Vision business."
The company said at the time that the $25 million, in addition to money previously set aside, should cover the settlement. The December press release quotes Chairman Steve Loranger as saying, "ITT is committed to having a world class compliance culture. We are working diligently with the government to resolve this matter by early next year.

Groomed at Sotheby's and hungry to keep climbing the social and career ladders put before her, Lacey charms men and women, old and young, rich and even richer with her magnetic charisma and liveliness. Her ascension to the highest tiers of the city parallel the soaring heights--and, at times, the dark lows--of the art world and the country from the late 1990s through today.

Primping pooches: Do's and don'ts at Westminster dog show
Photos: Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show begins
NEW YORK — Scissors, blow dryers, bobby pins — they're as much a part of the Westminster Dog show as commands, crates and treats.
Take Sophie, for example. With perfectly trimmed pompoms and fluffed out fur, she's the very essence of Poodle pulchritude.
What Westminster won't tolerate, though, are PEDs — performance-enhanced dogs.
That means no tattooing a boxer's nose to make it more black, no braces for a pointer to straighten its teeth, no removing a basset hound's inner eyelid to improve its appearance.
"It goes against the spirit of showing dogs in their appropriate state," Westminster President Sean McCarthy said Monday, the opening of the two-day show.
Cosmetic surgery isn't permitted, either, along with steroids. Yet detecting illegal drugs is virtually impossible while a dog has its few minutes in the ring.
"Our judges are not all veterinarians," longtime Westminster television host and breeder David Frei said. "They can't tell if a dog is on greenies."
There were 2,721 entries this year, though some missed out after getting stranded by the recent blizzard that hit the Northeast. The 137th Westminster features dogs in 187 breeds and varieties with a pair of newcomers, the treeing Walker coonhound and the Russell terrier.
The herding, toy, nonsporting and hound group winners were to be chosen Monday night. The top working, sporting and terriers come Tuesday, and judge Michael Dougherty was set to pick the best in show shortly before 11 p.m. at Madison Square Garden on the USA Network.

Once there was a blonde who really needed some money. She saw an ad in the newspaper for a job at an Elmo factory. She went down and applied, but the manager told her that she wouldn't want the job because it was so boring. The blonde begged him and told him she would do anything because she needed the money really bad. After long consideration the manager hired her.
After a few hours the manager looked at the video-monitor showing the factory floor and saw that the conveyer belt was backed up. The manager went downstairs to find out what the problem was. When he arived there the blonde was sewing two marbles into the crotch of every Elmo.
The manager said, ''I said to give each Elmo two test tickles; not two testicles!''

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Almost every player and every team in the country would love to play now 0-8 Southern Miss.
On Saturday, the Golden Eagles were penalized because their left tackle lined up in the backfield. Their quarterback was running for his life and, once, batted his own batted pass down. The team entered the game slotted No. 177 nationally in the Sagarin computer rankings. It lost to Marshall at Joan C. Edwards Stadium by a whopping 61-13 count in a Conference USA meeting before an announced crowd of 20,398.
Of all the players that desire facing Southern Miss, though, there's probably none as desirous as MU quarterback Rakeem Cato.
Which is understandable. See, not only do the Golden Eagles bring forth good results for Cato, but fond memories as well.
It was two years ago, in 2011, when Cato, then a freshman, had his breakout game.
"It was my first home game," Cato said on Saturday. "I had my first touchdown pass. There was a lot of excitement.
"I remember the great seniors, like Vinny Curry. I threw a touchdown to Aaron Dobson."
On that day he threw for three touchdowns and rallied the Herd from a 17-3 deficit to a 26-20 victory.
On Saturday, Cato had four touchdown passes in the first quarter. Marshall was on pace to score 112 points before settling for about half of that. The junior had five TD passes on a 21-of-28 day for 262 yards with no interceptions. He received a rest for the first time since the Sept. 7 Gardner-Webb game.
"With the exception of that one [fumble] he played well," said MU coach Doc Holliday. "I think we were 300-plus [yards] rushing and 300-plus passing. That balance, I believe, helped us. A lot of that was on [Cato]. He had some great checks.
"We had some calls that were actually throws, but he checked to runs. On a lot of the run-pass options he did a great job of getting us into the right call. He managed the game extremely well."
Essray Taliaferro appreciated one check in particular. It resulted in the back's 18-yard touchdown run.
"It was actually a pass," Taliaferro said. "[Cato] saw two high safeties and checked it. It was a brilliant call."
"He's grown up so much," Holliday said. "He's making great decisions and is a better leader. He's become a really solid quarterback."
Indeed, criticize Marshall if you wish. There have been losses that shouldn't have been losses. On Saturday, it finally displayed the killer instinct that's been missing for a while. But check the record books. Check the ones involving quarterbacks.
You'll see Cato hanging with Tony Petersen. You'll see his name listed with Byron Leftwich. You'll see him in career and single-season lists with the likes of Chad Pennington.

In the spring 2014 women's fashion issue, T looks at the way women really want to dress. See all stories from the issue >>
All Past Issues »
The news broke this week that a couple of high-profile hotel companies are fiddling around with their brands. (I know branding can be boring, so I'll try and keep this light.) Hilton, which operates everything from Hampton Inns to the Waldorf Astoria, hired the former W hotshot Ross Klein to dream up a new hotel line called Denizen. Judging from the renderings, it's going to look sort of like what W would look like if you launched it now: more quirky, less glossy; more vintage, less mod; more flowers, less wenge wood. "Smart instead of slick" is how Klein put it to me. Hilton plans to open them in Austin, Abu Dhabi, Cancun, London, Mumbai and New York, to name a few places.
Design Hotels, for its part, announced that it will henceforth be known as Design Hotels, Made by Originals. The company had in some ways been the victim of its own success, mostly unfairly. Like Kleenex, it was the brand that became a generic, and people tossed off the phrase "design hotel" — at first adoringly and later disdainfully — to mean any hotel with an architectural lobby, minimalist furniture and rooms that looked better than they actually functioned.
So it's understandable that D.H. would want to emphasize that it has some highly idiosyncratic hotels in its collection (I'm thinking of the Unique in São Paulo and La Réserve in Geneva), all of which are the brainchildren of individual hoteliers. (Here's Peter Lute and Marcel Wanders in one of the new hotelier videos on the D.H. Web site.)
But what's interesting to me is that both these plans were dreamed up well before the global economic crisis. Denizen's promotional info is long on phrases like "an international intersection between business and pleasure" and "world citizen." Design Hotels makes a big push for "premium experience." But all this sounds very pre-crisis to me. Are we still global nomads, doing deals in Tokyo one day and London the next? Do we still demand the seamless blend of work and play? Is luxury still on the top of our minds?

She previously worked at Baptist Medical Group, where she played an integral role in physician practice acquisitions and contractual-related matters.
As harsh as the criticism has been of the way the Shelby County Election Commission conducted elections in 2012, no one, including those who filed two Chancery Court lawsuits over the results, have said or presented proof it was intentional.
FBI agents have interviewed a Shelby County Election Commission member in what appears to be a probe of the agency that conducts local elections.
Election Commissioner Norma Lester confirmed in a mass e-mail Friday, Dec. 20, that she has been contacted by the FBI "but advised not to disclose any information."
The Community Foundation of Greater Memphis made it easier for a dozen Memphis nonprofits to continue the good they do in the community when it announced the recipients of this year's GiVE 365 grantees last week.

The state-run Achievement School District will add 10 more Memphis schools in the 2013-2014 school year, the first year of the schools merger in Shelby County.

Some early voters in Shelby County are snapping pictures of their completed ballots with their phones to verify their votes. Other voters are delaying their trip to the polls because they anticipate problems in the opening days of the voting period that ends Nov. 1.
As after-school traffic made its way north and south on Tillman Street last week, a crossing guard whistled children across one of the narrow streets by Lester Community Center.
The traffic was mostly cars, but the occasional bicycle from the nearby western terminus of the Shelby Farms Greenline whizzed by as well.
The clock is running on any Chancery Court lawsuits now that the Shelby County Election Commission has certified the results of the Aug. 2 elections.
The audited results changed no outcomes in the county general elections and set of state and federal primary races.
Shelby County Election Commissioners certified the results Monday, Aug. 20, of the Aug. 2 elections in Shelby County.
But the unanimous voice vote hardly quelled the controversy over the conduct of the election being investigated by state officials.
By bricks and mortar, the last school year of separate Memphis City and Shelby County schools that began Monday, Aug. 6, looked about like most school years.
But before the two school systems merge there will be plenty of evidence of larger changes that would be happening even with no merger a year from now.
Summer school for teachers is under way this week at three Frayser schools that are critical to the state's Achievement School District

Aspire Public Schools, Capstone Education Group, Gestalt Community Schools, KIPP Memphis and Rocketship Education were picked after a review process by ASD officials who begin the special school district that includes the bottom 5 percent of schools in the state in terms of student performance.
Now that the state's Achievement School District has named the three Memphis City Schools in which it will run charter schools and three others that will be run by the state as neighborhood schools, the move to a swift transition by August begins.
A group of six Memphis city elementary and middle schools are about to change substantially in the next year as the state has announced it will step in to run them.
The changes announced this week as part of the state-run Achievement School District underscore larger changes to education across the country along the lines of charter school reforms.
Lester Elementary School and Gordon Elementary School will be converted to state-run charter schools under the state's achievement school district.
Students interested in obtaining a degree in chemical, civil, electrical, computer and mechanical engineering have several local options thanks to programs offered at Christian Brothers University, Rhodes College and the University of Memphis.

It looked like Memphis school board member Stephanie Gatewood was on her way to re-election without opposition on the Nov. 4 ballot.
That was until Wednesday (Aug. 27) – the day before the Shelby County Election Commission certified the local portion of the ballot.
A field of 11 candidates had filed by Thursday's noon deadline for an open seat on the Memphis City Council on the Nov. 4 ballot. Four of the contenders ran for the council just a year ago.

Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton's plan to put up $500,000 in city money for the immediate purchase of 65 walk-through and 210 handheld detectors is part of a plan to make daily searches of students less of an obstacle - logistically and politically.

In addition, the Memphis police department will shift 67 officers to city school campuses. Herenton announced the moves at a Wednesday afternoon City Hall press conference.

Kay, You might already have all this info on John Shook, but its no problem to post it, in case you don't. Pvt John Shook (1842 - 1863) - Find A Grave Memorial PVT Shook was the 9th of 10 siblings in his family. He is one of 9 Shooks (including his parents) buried in Salter's Grove Cemetery in Biggsville, IL. (The memorial for each of the parents lists all 10 children). The page below lists the burials in case you want to do any work on that branch of the family. Find A Grave Search Results And since I'm here, I might as well have a look at Captain Churchill: Capt Joseph Churchill ( - 1797) - Find A Grave Memorial Date of birth must be 1735. Five contemporary Churchills are buried in Portland Burying Ground, Portland, CT. It seems likely that they are related. Find A Grave Search Results Enjoy.
