NBA Lockout - Should I care?Should I care? Because I just don't. Has the NBA become so phony and choreographed that the excitement of sport is totally gone? Is this the WWE on a court? Ok the NBA has locked out the players while they both squabble over who gets more money, the owners or the players. This week after talks broke down they officially canceled the first two weeks of the season. Should I care? Because I just don't. If there was no NBA season I don't think I would miss it. Don't get me wrong I am a huge sports fan and when the NFL season was in jeopardy I was getting very worried. Sundays without football what would I do with myself, this could have a huge impact on some of my life long traditions and with the Packers coming off a Super Bowl victory it would be devastating. Now we have the Brewers, with one of the most exciting seasons ever, and a Postseason run to boot. The Badgers ranked in the top 5, It is a sports fanatics dream. So I should be excited for the NBA to start and see what the Bucks can do. Right? But I am just not. I don't know if it is because I have been on such a sports high over the past year and the Bucks will do nothing but disappoint, or if it is because the NBA feels so phony and choreographed that the excitement of sport is totally gone for me. The past couple of NBA seasons have felt a lot like WWE Wrestling and a lot less like a sport. All kinds of crazy characters. The good guys and the bad guys. The whole game seems choreographed up till the last couple minutes. It feels a lot more like entertainment and a lot less like sport. I can't wait for college basketball to start and I know none of our teams are going to win the NCAA, but the drive and excitement are always there. The NBA just has been flat for me. Maybe if I lived in Dallas, Miami, LA, or Boston things would be different but I am not sure. Is it just me our city or the sport as a whole? Let me know what you think. Here is the Taiwanese animation version of the NBA lockout. Enjoy. |

Greece Family Bike Tour
- Seaside Rethymno, with Venetian and Ottoman cultural influences
- An unforgettable coast-to-coast ride
- Savor fresh seafood and other local delicacies
- Soak up sunny skies and diverse natural beauty
- Kids spot colorful fish from a glass-bottom boat
The Mythical Magic of Crete
Gather extraordinary memories by the dozens. While pedaling amid craggy mountains and emerald valleys. While horseback riding along the rugged coastline. While exploring hidden beaches, marveling at the vestiges of ancient civilizations or developing hidden talents (kids learn the art of pottery-making from a local artist and create their own objet d'art). And indulging at seaside tavernas - think melt-in-your-mouth dolmades and honey-soaked baklava. Gathering extraordinary memories like souvenirs, you'll need an extra suitcase to bring them home.
We want to make sure you're on the right trip and that you have the best experience possible. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
Terrain & Shuttles
The terrain on this trip is hilly, with some steep ascents and descents. Level sections of riding are few and far between and the seaside winters can leave the roads weathered and worn. We'll flatten some of the hills with strategic shuttles to give you a boost (and to bypass some busier areas), but you need to be comfortable with some long downhills or hopping in the van for a lift. Also note that some routes follow quiet winding roads with little or no shoulder.Day 1 The seaside city of Rethymno, with its historic center shaped by Venetian and Ottoman cultures Enjoy an easygoing ride to the Aegean or head into the mountains for views of Rethymno and its imposing fortezza Stroll the narrow streets of Rethymno's old town - built by conquering Venetians, it's one of the best preserved on Crete.
Day 2 An unforgettable coast-to-coast ride between the island's two impressive mountain ranges As you make your way through the Kourtaliotiko Gorge, listen for the sound of kourtal (claps) as the wind zips through high caves Ready for a breather? Take the opportunity to dip your toes in the clear blue Mediterranean Kids give the pottery wheel a whirl with a local artisan Discover the inviting square, spring-fed waterfalls and ancient ruins of Argiroupolis.
Days 3-4 Savor fresh seafood and other local delicacies while looking out upon the colorful Venetian port in Chania, whose history dates back to the Neolithic Age The Ottoman fortress of Aptera affords remarkable views of Souda Bay Pedal down the Thériso Gorge, with vast valley vistas reaching to the coast Flocks of sheep share the road with you as you bike from an organic farm to the shoreline Youngsters saddle up for a horseback ride to Georgioupoli Harbor.
Days 5-6 Kids take to the sea in a glass-bottom boat, where vibrantly colored fish and sunken war planes can be spotted On a downhill, pedal through the whitewashed village of Soúrva and Mesklá, surrounded by groves of citrus A final spin on the rocky Akrotiri Peninsula reveals a hidden seaside monastery.

Female physicians spend more time caring for their children than male physicians do, according to a study published in the March 4 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine.
An updated review for the U.S. Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF) found evidence in favor of ultrasonography screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in elderly men. A review of four randomized clinical trials showed reduced rupture rates and mortality benefits with screening.
An analysis of HeartMate II left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) published in the March 11 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that preoperative risk factors for bleeding and thrombotic events vary depending on patient demographics, including age, sex, body mass index and the cause of heart failure.
The use of pre-hospital stroke alerts by emergency medical services (EMS) may mean patients can get life-saving treatment faster. A study published in the March issue of Neurosurgery found that EMS personnel who identified patients having strokes and notified hospitals allowed patients to skip the emergency department and have a CT scan as soon as possible.
The rate of in-hospital major bleeding events among non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients varies considerably between facilities, researchers found in a study published online March 4 in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, but the reasons behind the majority of cases remain unclear.

The EM tag is not replaced correct in IE, I suggest the following change in line 45:
hmmh, it does not display the code correctly, the point is to use a case-insensitive regular expression instead of a normal string.

WASHINGTON -- Could it be that President Obama's best chance for re-election in November is ... Mitt Romney?
The dismal state of the economy, and especially the stagnant high unemployment rate, clearly are red flags for Obama's hopes of retaining the White House. And the similar crisis in Europe is no help either. So it may be that the American public's continuing doubts about Romney will in the end give the president another four-year lease.
That possibility helps explain why the Obama campaign and its super PAC allies have been hammering so hard on Romney's claim to be a Mr. Fix-It of the business world. They are focusing particularly on his past stewardship of Bain Capital, dubbing it the roost of vulture capitalism.
The Obama strategists could only have been incredulous that their counterparts had sent the foreign-policy deficient Romney abroad on a late July detour to Britain, Israel and Poland. All the Romney campaign got out of the venture were more gaffes that were seized upon by the news media, justifiably nor not, to feed the narrative that their candidate requires a short leash.
An old adage in politics, as in sports, is that you can't beat somebody with nobody. Romney, a wildly successful business and investment entrepreneur, certainly can't be dismissed as a nobody. But apparently he has yet to pass either the credibility or the likeability test with many voters. And that includes the most conservative members of his own party and of the tea party movement that has become a major stockholder in it.
Obama strategists have turned to Romney as their prime whipping boy after nearly four years of trying to resurrect former President George W. Bush as their Darth Vader. Obama never tires of reminding voters who left behind the economic mess in 2008, not to mention two unfinished wars, for him to clean up.
Obama got elected partly on the strength of public fatigue over the man called Dubya, and in 2010 he tried to use Bush's ghost to win control of Congress in the first midterm elections of his administration. Despite harping on what had been left on his plate, and on Republican unwillingness to help "get the car out of the ditch," Obama was handed what he himself called "a shellacking" at the polls.
The president on occasion still tries to beat that political dead horse. But for one reason or another, the voters seem willing to forget the recklessness in both economic and military decision-making of arguably the worst presidency in our lifetimes. What they want to know now is who is better equipped and more likely to put the American economy back on track.
It must be said that Obama has not been particularly effective in accentuating the positive. He trumpeted his major foreign-policy achievement in overseeing the finding and killing of Osama bin Laden. However, on the domestic front he has failed to make the most of his chief effort, enacting his controversial health-care reform act.
By emphasizing popular features -- such as the inclusion of dependents up to age 26 on parents' policies and mandating coverage for pre-existing conditions -- he has put the best face on the legislation. Until all its features are in force, however, it will remain a hard sell. At least the Supreme Court decision affirming its constitutionality should make the issue somewhat less of a political pothole for Obama.
Therefore, he and his strategists have turned with a vengeance to the negative. They are playing on the continuing doubts about Romney as a man of presidential stature. And they are questioning his understanding of and empathy for the middle class, as so conspicuously a rich guy.
Romney now has two opportunities to persuade the doubters among the public. The first will be his selection of a running mate. At a minimum, he can't afford to pick the functional equivalent of a Sarah Palin, who would only raise the doubt level of his own seriousness. His other opportunity is in making a dramatic and persuasive acceptance speech at the Republican Convention later this month. He has yet to show convincingly that there is more to him than just being the non-Obama.
(Jules Witcover's latest book is Joe Biden: A Life of Trial and Redemption" (William Morrow). You can respond to this column at firstname.lastname@example.com.)
Is Obama's best hope the inadequacy of his rival?

As of Sunday, September 2, 2012

Gwinnett Daily Post
GAINESVILLE — Despite an even 22-22 mark in shots, the Georgia Gwinnett women's soccer team dropped a 4-1 decision to host Brenau University on Saturday night.
Grizzlies sophomore Mary Vernetti, a Grayson grad, provided the lone GGC score, her third goal of the season, in the defeat.
Golden Tigers leading scorer Esther Anyanwu put away all four goals for BU.
Both teams produced many quality scoring chances. GGC briefly thought it had tied the game early, 1-1, but was whistled for an offsides call.
Later, with GGC down 2-0, Vernetti scored off a pass from junior Valeria de Santiago before halftime as the Grizzlies cut the deficit in half.
Anyanwu put home two more scores in the second period, however, and GGC would fall to 1-2 on their inaugural season. Brenau improved to 3-0.
"We're learning more about ourselves every day and with every game," said Grizzlies head coach Domenic Martelli said. "We played well at times tonight and it showed on the field. We just weren't consistent enough against a team that could finish, so we give them credit.
"Through three games, we've learned that when we play well, we can hang with just about anyone," Martelli added.
The team turns around to host Bluefield College (Va.) on Monday at 11 a.m. on the Grizzly Soccer Field.

Says Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett is responsible for the roughly $7,800 "I pay in property taxes per year."
Among the nation's 51 largest metropolitan areas, Milwaukee is the "only one" where the poverty rate is more than "four times greater in the city than it is in the suburbs."
A state report's "projection is that approximately half of public employees" would live outside municipal boundaries in a decade if the state bans local residency requirements.
40 percent of U.S. gun sales "are occurring outside of" licensed gun dealers.
"Scott Walker has a plan to privatize state lands" and "wants to sell our deer to the highest bidder."
Says Gov. Scott Walker made "draconian cuts" to public safety budgets that put police officers at "greater risk of harm."
Figures cited by Gov. Scott Walker "are not commonly used" to measure job creation.
Says Tom Barrett plans "to spend $100 million on a trolley that goes barely two miles on the east side of Milwaukee."
"No one on my staff has ever been charged with a crime."
To help balance the 2011-13 budget, Gov. Scott Walker used "a credit card" approach that "pushed over $500 million in debt onto our children and our grandchildren" costing state taxpayers "more than $150 million in interest."
Says Tom Barrett "voted to ban 15 different kinds of guns, even a lot of common deer rifles."
Says Gov. Scott Walker is "cooking the books" by releasing numbers "he just dreamed up" that show Wisconsin gained jobs in 2011.
Says Gov. Scott Walker said "no to equal pay for equal work for women."
Says Democratic recall opponent Tom Barrett is campaigning on "lifting property tax" limits.
Says Gov. Scott Walker "has caused Wisconsin to lose more jobs than any other state in the country."
In labor negotiations with city employees, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett "demanded concessions that went beyond those mandated" by Gov. Scott Walker's collective bargaining law
Mayor Tom Barrett's policies drove unemployment up 27 percent in Milwaukee, pushing it to "one of America's 10 worst cities for unemployment."
Says gubernatorial recall candidate Tom Barrett supported passage of Gov. Scott Walker's bill stripping collective bargaining of state employees.
"In his very first budget, (Milwaukee) Mayor Tom Barrett broke his pledge to keep a lid on property taxes and has continued increasing taxes and fees ever since."
"Mayor Barrett saved Milwaukee $25 million, thanks to Gov. Walker's reforms."

How Numbers Feel
By Ann Finkbeiner | November 27, 2012 | 13 Comments
This picture is a still shot from a movie, and the little parade of galaxies marching diagonally across it is a section of one filament in a vast network of galaxies. Before I get to the point, let us pause a moment and reflect: these are fucking galaxies. They're all Milky Ways of 10 billion solar systems each, maybe more. And they're real, this is real data. I breathe deeply and move on. I wanted you to see this still picture before you see the movie.
The movie is a simulation — that is, the point of view is only God's, nobody anywhere sees this. It's God flying through the universe, swooping through the lace and foam of galaxies, slipping past black voids, swerving in to examine the knots in the filaments. But the data is from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and every galaxy you see is really where you see it. The simulators fudged a little on the galaxies themselves: as Miguel Angel Aragon Calvo, one of the simulators, says, you can't just load half a million galaxies into memory and if you did, the rendering would be slow, "so I do a trick." They took 300 real images of real galaxies, made templates of them, and fitted the rest of the Sloan galaxies to the template galaxies with the closest properties.
Cosmologists have used simulations for decades now to check their theories: the universe happened only once and observations are limited to the latest technology, so put your theory into a computer and see whether the universe that comes out looks like the one we have. But in the last few years, observers' surveys like the Sloan are turning out more data and faster and the problem is now to make sense of it. One way is called data visualization, a catch-all practice that ranges from fancy graphs to the kind of simulation in the movie above. Miguel Angel Aragon Calvo (I just like writing out his full name), research scientist at Johns Hopkins, and Mark Subbarao, astronomer at the Adler Planetarium and the University of Chicago, both out of Alex Szalay's shop, have done visualizations before; this current one took about a year.
Data visualization isn't astronomical science the ways numbers and graphs are and until astronomers started generating too many numbers, they didn't take it seriously. But data visualizations clarify the difference between knowing something and actually seeing it. Subbarao says the visualization gives him a new sense of the three-dimensional cartography — the structure — of the universe. Miguel Angel Aragon Calvo says he's heard from astronomers that until they saw the visualization, they hadn't "seen" the hierarchy implicit in the voids. Visualizations use the brain's ability to identify complex patterns, he says; looking at them makes new patterns "click."
In fact, mental visualization has always been one way astronomers get at this other-worldly subject: in a book of interviews, one astronomer after another says things like, I close my eyes until I can see what happens and go on to the equations later; I picture the big bang as something I'm inside of; I think of the universe's structure as waves on a choppy pond; I imagine great big structures with flexible, stretchable girders. With actual physical visualizations, Miguel Angel Aragon Calvo thinks, "in the near future we will be able to interact with complex data in real time and using natural interfaces to identify 'regions of interest' in the data." I'm not sure exactly what he means by that — maybe that visualizations can mediate between observations and theory?
Here's what "clicks' for me: in two dimensions, the Sloan survey covers 14,555 square degrees of the sky; the whole sky is 40,000 square degrees, so the Sloan covers maybe a third of the sky. In the third dimension, time, the Sloan goes back to a median redshift of 0.52, about 3 billion years back in time, in a universe that's 13.6 billion years old, so maybe a quarter of the way back. In this quarter/third of the observable universe, the Sloan catalogs 932,891,133 objects. These numbers have important caveats so don't necessarily believe them. My point is, to see how the numbers feel, go back to the movie and zoom around with God.

November 27th, 2012 @ 5:34 amAbsolutely fantastic but un-nerving that I have identical dreams to this simulation.

November 27th, 2012 @ 6:30 amGood grief, Rosie! You should hire yourself out to these guys — they took a year, you could do it overnight.
November 27th, 2012 @ 8:19 amVery cool!
Made me think though, about some of the choices that God made with his flight path.
For instance, why did he go left at 23 secs instead of right, and then what would the Universe have looked like if he had chosen to go right instead? Why did he zig and not zag?
So we get one man's viewpoint of God's path and of the Universe, while the rest are left to interpretation. It's a bit like religion, really.
November 27th, 2012 @ 9:21 amYou know someone's excited when they drop a few F-bombs into a post Absolutely justified, this is super cool!
November 27th, 2012 @ 10:43 amHang on. You mention the time dimension at the end, and the Sloane data is recording where each galaxy 'was', relative to us, when it emitted the light we now see, not where it is 'now'. So it's not a God's eye view, is it?
Ignore me – pretty f'ing amazing little movie!

November 27th, 2012 @ 1:12 pmThat's your English Sloane, Tim. Ours is the American Sloan. I correct your spelling, you question my understanding of space/time and light. I think you win.
November 27th, 2012 @ 5:52 pmI suppose I was thinking Sloane Rangers, seemed appropriate …? Let's just agree that Jim Gunn is God and call it quits, heh?

Ann Finkbeiner
November 27th, 2012 @ 7:57 pmTim: yes, we'll agree on spelling and then on God.
AliB: Oh don't ask me questions like that. I mean, a lot but not as many as we might have. These guys deal in lots of millions, sometimes billions.
November 28th, 2012 @ 9:32 amStunning!
OK, so this is an area I actually know something about – data visualization. Do a Google Images search for data visualization to see many striking images. And, of course, my favorite data geek, Hans Rosling – go to http://www.gapminder.org/videos and browse through the videos, my favorite being "200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes".
But wait, there's more! Check out data sonification, the representation of data through sound, the most familiar and simplest examples being the Geiger Counter and sonar. It has also been used in medical, vehicle displays/controls, and geological applications. For physics examples of solar data and of the Higgs Boson respectively, check out phys.org/news186418364.html (solar data) and news.discovery.com/space/listen-to-the-higgs-boson-120710.html. While I find this fascinating and probably quite useful in things like back-up safety for your car (and Geiger Counters), it is not clear to me how much incremental value it brings to data analysis.
Ann Finkbeiner
November 28th, 2012 @ 9:48 amThat's so interesting, Bruz. I hadn't thought of sonification as a way of visualizing something, "visualizing" meaning "imagining," oops, meaning "mentally picturing," oops, can't get away from the visual.
November 29th, 2012 @ 9:13 amI should think "imagining" works, if you use the definition of that word "to form a mental representation". Doesn't have to be visual – any of the senses will do. I am waiting for the invention of data smellification, or maybe data tasting parties.
The Last Word : The Last Word On Nothing
December 1st, 2012 @ 5:42 am[...] 932,891,133 galaxies, over a 14,555-square degree patch of the sky, going 3 billion years back into a universe that's 13.6 billion years old. You can't comprehend numbers like these, but Ann tells you how to feel them. [...]

Lifetime Boxing Ban for Antonio Margarito!
I support the lifetime boxing ban of Antonio Margarito and his trainer, Javier Capetillo. We the fans will no longer accept or endure another black eye to the sport we love so much!! Antonio Margarito and Javier Capetillo have committed a criminal act that could have permanently injured and/or killed an opponent. It would be irresponsible for the Boxing Commission to allow or accept such an act without issuing the penalty of a lifetime ban. Save our sport...protect our fighters!!!

A message was sent to a friend of runaway teenager Megan Stammers saying she had arrived in France after she is believed to have eloped with her maths teacher, it has been disclosed.
It marked the last contact since 15-year-old Megan and 30-year-old Jeremy Forrest caught a ferry to the Continent last week, sparking a cross-Channel search.
The message was sent to one of her good friends saying she was in France but did not come from her own phone, a senior police officer revealed.
The disclosure was made as the teenager's mother and stepfather, Danielle Wilson and Martin Stammers, made an emotional appeal at a news conference for her safe return.
Chief Inspector Jason Tingley of Sussex Police said: "I can't give a specific time or date but we know there was a message passed to one of her good friends to say she had arrived safely in France. I can't say that message was from her but we believe it was. That gives us some comfort that she has arrived safely and she is in France. That's our last contact."
Last Thursday Megan asked her mother whether she could stay overnight at a friend's house. Her mother said she agreed, gave her dinner money for school the following day - and Megan left. But the following morning, her mother received a text message from her school, Bishop Bell C of E in Eastbourne, East Sussex, where Forrest teaches, saying she had failed to attend class. Checks were made to see whether the friend she claimed to be sleeping over with was at school, and when it was confirmed that she was, alarm bells rang.
Her family revealed that Megan had been receiving extra-curricular maths lessons since before the summer. But they did not suspect any relationship between her and Forrest, a married amateur musician, who lives in Ringmer, near Lewes. Mr Stammers said he was "aware" of Forrest but refused to go into further detail, saying: "It's about Megan and getting Megan back." They said it was "completely out of character" for her to disappear but police said they believe she has travelled willingly.
On a blog apparently written by Forrest under his music stage name Jeremy Ayre, he writes about a "moral dilemma" in a posting four months ago headed "You hit me just like heroin". Posted on May 19, it says: "The last two weeks have been pretty intense, in both a good and a bad way!!!" It continues: "About a week ago I had a bit of a moral dilemma to deal with, both internally and externally. And the over-riding question it left me with was this, 'How do we, and how should we, define what is right or wrong, acceptable or unacceptable???' I came to a few different conclusions, mainly that actually we get a lot of things wrong, but at the end of the day I was satisfied that if you can look at yourself in the mirror and know that, under all the front, that you are a good person, that should have faith in your own judgment."
Forrest is 6ft, slim with fuzzy facial hair and mousy brown hair. He wears square glasses, dresses casually and has a black star tattoo on his upper left arm.
Interpol, the UK Border Agency, the British embassy in France and the French authorities were working to help trace Megan. Anyone with information is asked to call Sussex Police on 101, quoting Operation Oakwood. A dedicated telephone number and text number which can be used from abroad have been set up. They are 00441273 475432 or text +447786208090.

Beat the monkey once and it ruins the whole week? Ummmmmm....
Beat the monkey once and it ruins the whole week? Ummmmmm....
Like you hear body builders saying like " do legs at the art of your week because no one else does them and it gives you more testosterone to furl your week"
Was it based through my head that when you " break the monkey" you are releasing testosterone, get where I'm coming from??
Haha sorry about the spelling, it was done at 2 in the morning and I was half asleep, but did you get what I was trying to say??
Other than a few studies showing that test spikes (basal levels) for one day after 7 days of abstinence by ~30% (serious), chokin the chicken doesn't seem to affect your test in any noticeable way. Some say it does a little positively and negatively, some say it doesn't. So it's a wash.
But hell, it's good for practicing stamina and lowers your resting heart rate and does a bunch of other good things too. If you have a girlfriend she can always use the protein also.

Jerry Alderson, minister at Park Avenue Church of Christ for more than four decades and host of a popular Sunday morning radio show, is moving to Nashville.
Alderson, 72, was only 29 when he accepted the position of preacher at the church. He never expected to stay in one spot so long but found he was comfortable there.
He launched a radio show nearly 40 years ago called "Not By Bread Alone," broadcast each Sunday at 8:30 a.m. on WCHS.
At the church, his post as preacher will be filled by Steve Fox, who is his best friend. In this denomination, the church leader is known as minister or preacher. Fox is a former associate at Park Avenue Church of Christ, located at the corner of Park Avenue and Main Street on Charleston's West Side.
The radio show will continue with new speaker Joseph Pauley, who is preacher at Belle Church of Christ. Alderson is thankful that the show will continue to be aired.
When he did the show, Alderson tried to use a conversational style with listeners as he shared scriptures.
"I couldn't count on somebody on the other side having access to a Bible," he said.
On his final radio show, he encouraged listeners to appreciate a speaker while studying scripture on their own.
"There is authority in the Bible itself," he said. "Don't take my word for it. Go back to the source."
In his final sermon at the church, he expressed his appreciation for the leaders who served as role models for him many years ago. He said the future of the church depends upon young families who bring their children to worship.

Young Voters Trying to Make a Difference at the Local Level
The best place to live is either a liberal town in a conservative state, or a conservative town in a liberal state. You get the best of both worlds in terms of policy, and the feeling of being an outcast gives you plenty of material for your Tumblr account (if you're a liberal) or your gun range target (if you're a conservative). On that note, the New York Times has a new feature on young people who are attempting to change the long-engrained mindset of their state. It focuses on Missoula, an up-and-coming, liberally-minded city located in the middle of Montana, a very conservative state. The article shows how active and engaged young people can be, despite the baby boomers' attempts to paint millenials as entitled and apathetic.

Provident Bank's Bob Jones to retire
After a distinguished 37-year career in commercial banking, Bob Jones will retire at the end of this year. Jones is vice president/commercial lending at The Provident Bank's Seabrook branch.
Born and raised in Newburyport, Jones has spent his entire career in banking within the Greater Newburyport and Seacoast New Hampshire regions, where he has remained dedicated to making the community a better place to live and work.
He joined The Provident Bank in 2004 from First & Ocean National Bank in Newburyport, where he had worked for 10 years. He previously worked at some of the area's other prominent banks, including Bank of New England, Eastern Bank and Northeast National Bank in Amesbury.
Jones gives generously of his time and expertise to support civic and community organizations. He remains treasurer of The Pettengill House, a social services agency in Salisbury, where he has been a board member for 10 years. He is a former Finance Committee member for the Anna Jaques Community Health Foundation, where he also remains a corporator. In addition, he is a board member of Housing Support Inc. in Newburyport; chairman of the board of directors at the Coastal Economic Development Corporation in New Hampshire; an executive member and treasurer of the board for the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce; and first vice chairman of the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce board of directors.
Vine Associates merges with GZA
David Vine, principal of Vine Associates Inc. of Newburyport, announced that he has merged his firm with GZA GeoEnvironmental of Norwood. The merger enables Vine Associates to provide the full range of engineering and environmental services to clients.
Vine Associates has been in business in Newburyport for the past 23 years. Most recently, Vine Associates has been assigned a five-year work task contract with the U.S. Coast Guard, providing waterfront services throughout the country. It is currently providing bathymetric surveys at eight Coast Guard facilities in Florida, Texas and Louisiana.
The firm has also been instrumental in developing the waterfront improvements in Newburyport, New Bedford, Salem, Beverly and Boston Harbor for the Massachusetts Port Authority and the City of Boston.
Anders Bjarngard and Frank Vetere, both registered Massachusetts professional engineers, have joined Vine Associates in the Newburyport office. Bjarngard's specialty is in geotechnical projects, and he leads GZA's Dam Safety Engineering group. Vetere is a geotechnical engineer and licensed site professional specializing in hazardous waste site assessment and remediation.
ENPRO names new project scientist
ENPRO Services Inc., a Newburyport firm specializing in the management of oil and hazardous waste, has named project scientist Tony Santa Fe to its local office.
Prior to joining ENPRO, Santa Fe worked in the Environmental and Safety Auditing department of Merrimack Environmental in Merrimac. He earned a bachelor's degree in Safety Science from Keene State College, N.H.
As a project scientist at ENPRO's Newburyport headquarters, Santa Fe will provide technical support within the Technical Services Division, including overseeing and documenting initial response actions and subsequent remedial activities, planning and implementing field investigations.
In addition, he will perform environmental sampling and field screening, reduce and analyze data, draft technical reports, and coordinate with ENPRO clients, regulatory agency personnel and subcontractors.

Designer's Tip: Create beautiful lacy die-cut frames from cardstock, then frame stamped words or images on your card front. I like to cover the die with a piece of waxed paper, then place the cardstock on top before running it through the die-cut machine-this really helps to keep the cardstock from sticking to the die for easy clean-up!

3,560 plays
What more could one ask of a companion? To be forever new and yet forever steady. To be strange and familiar all at once, with enough change to quicken my mind, enough steadiness to give sanctuary to my heart. The books on my shelf never asked to come together, and they would not trust or want to listen to one another; but each is a piece of a stained-glass whole without which I couldn't make sense to myself, or to the world outside.

Prince William supervisors approve funding to improve deadly road
Prince William County supervisors approved $270,000 in local funds to improve a portion of Logmill Road, the site of several fatal accidents in recent years, The Washington Post reports.
Supervisors appropriated an additional $2.4 million in state and federal funding for work on Logmill Road between Route 15 and Parnell Court in Gainesville. The project will essentially flatten out a hilly portion of the road, the Post writes.
The most recent deadly accident on the road claimed the lives of two teenagers. Kendra Tucker and Savanna Kidane Mouratidis, both 15, of Haymarket, died following an April 20 early-morning crash. A 14-year-old girl, a 17-year-boy and an 18-year-old male were also injured. Seven people have died in accidents on the Logmill Road since 2004.

Blu Dot. Bringing good design to as many people as possible.
Blu Dot was formed by three college friends: John Christakos, Charles Lazor, and Maurice Blanks. After they left college and began to furnish their first homes, they didn't like the stuff they could afford and couldn't afford the stuff they liked. Determined to do something about it, Blu Dot was born in 1997.
Blu Dot creates products that are useful, affordable, and desirable with a design process founded on total collaboration between pencil and paper, materials and machines, even packaging and assembly. Blu Dot has embraced the idea that good design is not just about beauty or form — it is about making our lives just a little easier and a little more enjoyable.

Patients aren't great at figuring out if they got excellent medical care
A new study finds that patients' opinions of the care they receive can be quite different from the actual quality of the medical care. More alarming is that opinions and experiences vary greatly by race. Researchers asked 374 women who had received treatment for early stage breast cancer at New York City hospitals about their opinions of the care they got. African-American women were less likely to report excellent care than Caucasian or Hispanic women, less likely to trust their doctor, and more likely to say they experienced racism during the process. There was, however, no difference in the actual quality of medical care they received, compared to Caucasian or Hispanic women.

Wally's Candles Natural Soy Blend -- 12 Candles
Worked Great!
I used the Wally's Natural Soy Blend Candle for the first time this year (2012). This one worked the best of the Wally's candles so far for me. I'm not sure if it's the cotton muslin and the soy wax. It burns better and at the end I had so much wax inside. I have problems with wax build up in my ear that will not come out on it's own. Candling is the only way to remove it safely and this particular Wally's product works for me. I think it is a matter of personal choice and you won't know unless you try. Don't forget to use the Wally's ear oil after.
July 6, 2012
We bought these ear candles, but they did not work. We had a higher priced brand that we compared them too. These candles did not pull out any wax, but the other ones did. I would not use this type if you have a lot of wax to remove.
July 18, 2009
waste of money
I have used candles before with success. These burned down too fast and didn't seem to do any good. They make lots of smoke and ash! I'm buying beeswax next time!

Montana / Oregon. August, 2010.
Bloody towel. 8x10 paper negative.
Package from Mr. Luckett
My day was made when I opened my mailbox to find a package from James Luckett. It contained a note and a stack of postcards - some old, some new. Thanks, James!
Seeing the present in the past
As the great organization of my photographic archive (recently dubbed Project FUBAR) continues, I find that I'm constantly stumbling upon images that inadvertently foreshadow conceptual paths I've taken since then.
The following is a record of an experiment I conducted in the Rillito River back in May 2011 and promptly forgot about - until now.
Two-year enigma
I took this photograph almost two years ago. I've had a proof print hanging on the wall in my studio for nearly as long. There's something deep inside that tells me this is a really important image in my development as an artist, but in all this time I have yet to determine why.
This is what this spot looks like now.
