As the 2010 campaign season slouches toward Election Day, the attack ads are coming fast and furious. We recently took a look at three attack ads in high-profile Senate races and found a little truth and a lot of stretching the truth.
In the knock-down, drag-out battle for a U.S. Senate seat from Nevada, Republican Sharron Angle lobbed an attack at Democratic incumbent Harry Reid that involved Viagra and sex offenders.
In the ad, the the narrator says, "Here's the kicker: Reid actually voted to use taxpayer dollars to pay for Viagra for convicted child molesters and sex offenders. What else could you ever need to know about Harry Reid?"
We concluded that the ad is correct that Reid voted against a prohibition on taxpayer-subsidized Viagra for sex offenders. But the ad leaves out a lot of important context that, if it had been included, would have given a different impression. We rated the ad Barely True.
In the Kentucky Senate race, Democrat Jack Conway used an ad to attack Republican Rand Paul on Medicare policy, saying he wants to impose a $2,000 deductible for the universal health program for seniors. The ad uses grainy footage of Paul giving a talk to the Center-Right Coalition, a conservative group, in Lexington, Ky., on June 19, 2009.
We checked to see whether the Conway campaign took Paul's statement out of context. After reviewing a longer portion of the footage and watching a handful of other taped appearances by Paul, we concluded that for the most part the ad was fair. Its main problem was reducing Paul's broad, comprehensive overhaul for Medicare to just one of its provisions, the $2,000 deductible. Still, we saw that as a relatively minor exaggeration, and on balance we rated the ad Mostly True.
Finally, we looked at a Spanish language ad in the California Senate race placed by the Susan B. Anthony List, a Republican group that opposes abortion, and also by the National Organization for Marriage, which opposes gay marriage. The ad attacks Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., on immigration, saying she "voted against immigration reform to permit our people to come here legally to work." This surprised us because Boxer has generally been an advocate for more liberal immigration laws.
Asked for backup for the ad's claim, a spokesman for SBA List pointed us to a May 23, 2007, story in the New York Times that noted Boxer's opposition to a "guest worker" provision proposed for the comprehensive immigration reform initiative that year. But many immigration advocates feared it would create an environment where employers could abuse guest workers, because they could control whether that guest worker could return. On those grounds, Boxer voted to eliminate it.
The ad doesn't explain this context. It merely says Boxer "voted against immigration reform to permit our people to come here legally to work." We concluded that the ad's claim about Boxer's record on immigration was highly misleading, and we rated it False.

"I have been experiencing quite a few health problems of late, and I don't feel it is fair to my family, the citizens of this county and the department to not be able to give the job all I've got," Tirey said. "So I've decided to not run for office again and retire from law enforcement altogether."
Tirey has been in law enforcement in Walker County for more than 34 years. He was elected to five terms as sheriff, becoming the youngest person to hold the office in the county's history and the longest consecutively serving sheriff on record.
"The job of sheriff can be very frustrating at times, but my time as sheriff has been very rewarding," Tirey said. "I enjoy dealing and working with people, and I have made lots and lots of friends over the years."
Tirey said he has seen a lot of changes during his career.
"A lot of the crimes law enforcement deals with these days involve electronics, and we've seen a big swing in electronic crimes in our county," Tirey said. "So you have to be very diligent in order to stay on top of that, and I have been very fortunate to have investigators working in my office who have gone to some really unique schools and have a good grasp and understanding about how to deal with these types of crimes."
Tirey said he believes some restructuring needs to be done at the sheriff's office so that certain aspects of the job would become more specialized.
"There are several things that need to be done, but I really think our narcotics division needs to be restructured first because we are still making quite a number of cases," Tirey said. "And that is one project that is going to take a lot work in order for it to be done and done right."
Tirey said that during his career as sheriff, he has gotten to work with many men and women at the sheriff's office who are dedicated to the job of protecting the citizens of Walker County.
"Not everybody is perfect, including me, but overall we have always had a good group of folks working at the sheriff's office," Tirey said. "I have also enjoyed working with all my fellow elected officials over the years and the really good relations I have with all the folks at the courthouse."
Tirey said if there was one thing he has learned in his nearly 35 years in law enforcement, it would be that it pays to try and get along with others.
"Not only does it help you get your job done better, but everybody else generally ends up benefitting from it as well," Tirey said.
When asked if he had any regrets over his decision to not seek re-election, Tirey said he had mixed feelings.
"I have done this for a long time and with all that's going on with my health right now, I just think it's time for me to retire," Tirey said. "It's time to let someone with a fresh look get in there and do what needs to be done."
Tirey said he will tell the new sheriff that he will gladly help in any way he can.
"As far as what I will do in retirement, hopefully when I get some of the health issues straightened out, I can do a little hunting and fishing," Tirey said. "And just enjoy spending time with my family."

Year One
• 'Literacy': This pathway focuses on literacy linking closely with the National Literacy Programme for Wales (Welsh Government, 2012). You will develop knowledge and understanding of significant themes in the promotion of 'oracy', reading and writing. Key issues explored include early language development, adult literacy and bilingualism. Practical placements are embedded throughout the course with a view to developing employability skills in a range of different learning environments.

You will examine modern Welsh identity in a national and international context. You will have the opportunity to attend a Welsh work-based placement in the second year to enable you to develop your practical use of Welsh in the workplace.
We are delighted to announce that we have received funding from Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol to enable us to teach Educational Studies modules through the medium of Welsh. This is a great opportunity for both first and second language Welsh medium students to continue to develop their written and spoken Welsh in a supportive environment.
The course has an inclusive approach which responds to the diversity of our student population including supporting: additional learning needs, bilingual support- e.g. written assessments can be submitted via the medium of Welsh. We are also empathetic to students with family or other commitments.
As part of personal tutoring/personal development planning, you will have at least 3 scheduled one to one meetings with your personal tutor each academic year.
In addition, there are tutorials based around module assessments.
A wide range of assessment methods are used. These include coursework, seminar presentations, research trails, blogs and poster presentations. Some pathways also incorporate written examinations (see KIS for details). Practical assessments of coaching principles are carried out as part of the Sport and Physical activity options.
This course will provide you with an in-depth knowledge of a wide range of educational issues and your chosen specialist pathway as well as developing key skills, which will prepare you for your future career within the diverse field of education.
We are committed to providing a range of opportunities for our students to gain valuable employability skills throughout the programme. These employability skills are generated both through experience in work-based settings and also in the teaching and learning within the university environment. For example, in year 2, there is a strong focus on identifying and then experiencing 'life' in a chosen career via a placement in a work-based setting. Following the placement, the assessment is an interview to a panel. This provides a valuable opportunity to develop interview skills within a supportive environment. We also have strong links with a range of local schools and educational settings and can help you to arrange voluntary placements throughout your degree. We also run Forest School sessions with local schools and community groups and encourage students to take an active role within this.
Our graduates access a range of jobs and employment opportunities including further study in education via the Post Graduate Certificate in Education or Graduate Teacher Programme. Our graduates have pursued careers in nursery management, educational welfare and worked as local education officers for local education authorities.

Police and crime consultation event for Boris Johnson's policing plans
9:00am Saturday 2nd February 2013 in News By Sophia Sleigh, Chief Reporter
A police and crime consultation event will be held in Sutton as the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, sets out his priorities for policing.
The event will feature the deputy mayor for policing and crime, Stephen Greenhalgh, and the assistant commissioner for territorial policing, Simon Byrne.
Mr Johnson is pledging to get more constables than ever on to the capital's streets.
However, the decision to focus on street policing and prioritising police numbers means many of the Metropolitan Police's front counters, including Wallington Police Station, could be closed.
Mr Johnson said: "Putting more officers on the streets is key to driving down crime and boosting public confidence in the police and that is why it is at the heart of our plans for policing in the capital.
"In the current economic climate there is no denying that tough decisions will have to be made but policing in the capital is changing and we must change with it by creating a police force that is ready to tackle the issues that matter most to Londoners."
It will be held on Tuesday, February 12, at the Secombe Theatre Auditorium, Cheam Road, at 6pm.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – According to the State Board of Elections, Rep. Mike McIntyre has defeated David Rouzer in the 7th District Congressional race.
"Today, counties across the 7th Congressional district finished the canvassing process and have made their results official," read a release from the McIntyre campaign.
The SBOE had the final tally as McIntyre receiving 168,697 votes to his Rouzer's 168,042 votes, a margin of 655. That lead grew from the 517 McIntyre had following the vote count on election day. The incumbent Democrat from Lumberton is currently serving his 8th term in the U.S. House of Representatives.
In the news release, McIntyre released the following statement:
"I'm honored that the voters of eastern North Carolina have put their trust in me to represent them in Washington. I thank them for their confidence and pledge to continue to put their interests first.
Our country faces many challenges and we need less partisan rhetoric and more cooperation in Washington. I will continue my work to lower the deficit, cut government spending and red tape so small businesses can flourish and we can create more jobs."
Rouzer's campaign has not released a comment on the results, saying only that the state senator from Johnston County would have a statement early next week.
Since the margin between McIntyre and Rouzer is within one percent, the challenger does have the right to request a runoff. Rouzer must file the request with the State Board of Elections by Tuesday.

King-Sized No More
February 22nd, 2012 by Rosa
I've been battling a cold for a while and ran out of stored tasting notes. I won't be able to write more reviews until I get my sense of taste back – how I miss being able to breathe through my nose! – so y'all get bonus news posts until then.
Via my friend Matt and NPR, news that Mars will stop making King Sized candy bars by the end of next year. Instead, they'll sell them in pairs or fours of smaller bars.
It's a small change, but I'm all for it. 3 Musketeers has been sold like that for a while, and it's nice to have one for eating and one for sharing or saving.

Change "(required)" text on the signup page to a red "*"
Hi all,

The unit that appears to be the original generator is gear driven. First question, does the drive gear on it have anything to do with the timing? It looks like someone removed the guts to the original generator and then mounted another generator to the frame rail. Second question, is the pulley on the back of the original a modification they made to run an add on generator or was it part of the original, in order to run something else? ( if so what? )
The tag on the generator reads as follows.
Another question, just because, when did Remy become Delco - Remy?

The past several days have brought out a lot of beautiful Fall color across the region. In fact, foliage is at or near peak in most of Western North Carolina above 2,500 feet. The lower elevations have about another week to go before reaching peak in most areas. In the Upstate, colors are definitely starting to pop with some trees, but it will be at least a week before the Upstate sees peak colors. The weather for the remainder of the weekend will be beautiful on Sunday for a trip to do some foliage viewing. The Foliage Network (www.foliagenetwork.com) has good information and maps for our area as well as other areas of the country.

Johnny Venom wants us to consider the $1 trillion coin
OPINION The so-called Fiscal Cliff has been averted. But the country actually has a much bigger issue — the debt ceiling.
For the uninitiated, the debt ceiling is exactly what it sounds like, an artificial limit imposed by Congress the keep the president from borrowing money. The ceiling was originally passed back in 1917 to prevent the government from excess spending during the First World War. Besides its constitutionality being questionable, it's also useless and dangerous.
The far right goes bananas about the national debt, and points to the ceiling as a way to keep it from growing. But the debt growth in question is simply to pay back bills on products and services that Congress already used. So to impose a ceiling now is not to cut growth, but to default on US creditors.
The Republicans are refusing to raise the debt ceiling unless they get huge cuts in social programs — and if current spending hits the ceiling, the United States would be unable to pay its bills.
But there's a solution, a way President Obama could get around the GOP and its threats altogether. It's a unorthodox — but legal. Call it debt hacking.
Obama could simply direct the Treasury to print a series of platinum coins in denominations of at least $1 trillion. It's not perfect, and it's not without potential cost — but compared to defaulting on debt or cutting Social Security and Medicare, it's not a bad option.
The president is legally barred from asking the US Mint to print more money — gold coins or paper bills — without the permission of Congress. But under an obscure 1996 law, there's an exception for platinum.
So upon realizing that the GOP leaders in Congress will push the republic into default, President Obama could direct the Mint to produce, say, three coins — each with the face value of $1 trillion. The coins would be deposited into the general treasury account at the Federal Reserve. This would then be converted into credit to buy back and retire enough debt to give Obama, and the country, some breathing space.
In fact, Obama could do something even bolder and create more coins, to go beyond breathing space and pay off almost all the national debt except for that held by Social Security. But that sort of action — the government just printing new money — can, many economists warn, create hyperinflation.
Still, the Federal Reserve magically produced about $30 trillion to help bail out banks not long ago, and there was little discernible inflation. The government wouldn't actually be creating new money — it would simply be replacing debt that the country pays interest on with paper (or digital accounting) that it doesn't. And right now, inflation is the least of our national worries; a little inflation might even help homeowners and those with heavy credit-card debt pay off what they owe with cheaper money in the future.
Of course, no government can do this on a regular basis. The US Dollar could lose its reserve status if investors start to fear the potential of future platinum coins appearing. But what are the alternatives? US dollars and US debt are, and will remain, trusted investments. China may not purchase as many bonds in the future, but the money we save on interest payments could be well worth it.
It's a crazy idea, but these are crazy times — and if the GOP continues to threaten to destroy the economy, Obama might want to consider something bold.
Johnny Venom is an economist and commodities trader.
The "fiscal cliff" or the Thune-Sessions Sequestration Transparency Bill was passed as law in 2012. Its implementation is pending ratification of a new "debt ceiling" or dollar number. De facto hyperinflation exists, but has not become headline news. For a few years the US government focused public attention on the Chinese currency while the US dollar was over-appreciated. For those who speculate in US currency, this would be the time to sell.
you know and I know that it's not a solution to the debt crisis but simply another "kick the can into the long grass" temporary fix.
The debt is out-of-control - almost every agrees about that - they on;y differ about how to solve it.
We had the tax hikes last week with the Bill Obama signed into law. But that contained almost no spending cuts and it is impossible to fix the debt crisis by tax hikes alone. The rich quite simply do not have enough to fix it, and the rest of us are tapped out.
So it's entirely appropriate to discuss spending cuts when debating the debt ceiling. If not then, then when?

PARIS - United Nations forces based inside Syria to monitor a longtime ceasefire between Syria and Israel will bring in armor to reinforce their security because of a threat posed by an influx of Syrian rebels, the UN peacekeeping chief said.
The UN force deployed after the 1973 Yom Kippur War, in which Syria failed to recapture the Golan Heights taken by Israel seven years before and later annexed by the Jewish state.
Shortly after announcing the move, the IDF confirmed that a shell fired from Syria landed in Israeli territory in the Golan. The mortar struck near an IDF base on the Israel-Syria border, causing no damage or injuries.
The IDF registered a complaint to the United Nations over the incident. An IDF source said that the mortar likely landed in Israel accidentally, a misfire from Syrian infighting.Speaking in Paris, peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous said a number of countries contributing to the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) had voiced concerns after two Austrian soldiers were shot on November 29 in an area of Damascus where government troops and rebels have been fighting.
"Certain countries are concerned," Ladsous told reporters on Wednesday. "We will reinforce security, most notably with armored vehicles and we plan to send more political advisers to analyze the situation on the ground."
Ladsous said that while there was no plan to reduce the force, the situation in the area had "abruptly" changed dynamics surrounding the 36-year mission as the rebellion against President Bashar Assad turns ever bloodier.
"The situation in Syria sparked a cascade of insecurity which has had consequences highlighted by the presence of armed groups belonging to the Syrian opposition in the disengagement zones ... There are people being trained that appear a lot like (hardline Muslim) Salafists," he said.
Stray shells and bullets from the internal Syrian conflict have landed on the Israeli-controlled side of the Golan ceasefire line in recent weeks and Israeli troops have fired artillery shells into Syria in response.
Ladsous said that UNDOF, which numbers 1,050 soldiers from Austria, the Philippines, India, Japan, Croatia and Canada, had no specific mandate to deal with the escalating violence.
About 800 of the peacekeepers patrol on the Syrian side of the 1973 Golan Heights ceasefire line.
Their mandate is to oversee a dagger-shaped 400 square km (155-square-mile) "area of separation" where Syrian military forces are not allowed, but where Syrian security, police, customs officers and hunters may carry firearms.

One person is dead after a crash on West Pike Street near the on-ramp to Route 50 early Friday morning, according to Harrison County 911 officials.
The crash was first reported at 2:01 a.m. and only involved one car, according to 911 reports.
Clarksburg Police said Jason Greynolds, 34, of Spelter, was driving a white pickup truck that crashed into a bridge after exiting the westbound lanes of the highway.
An accident reconstructionist was called to the scene to determine exactly what happened. Police said speed was a factor in the crash and that alcohol may have also played a role. Greynolds was alone in the car and there were no other vehicles or witnesses around when he crashed, said police.
Clarksburg police, fire, and EMS crews are on the scene. They have not released any information about the person who died or a vehicle description. No one else was injured.
Clarksburg Police are investigating.

Points added per 100 offensive possessions above the average player at his position. Gives credit for creating better offensive situations (i.e. rim or three for himself or others). Also gives credit for outperforming the situation of his shots by shooting with accuracy above expectation. For example, when Ricky passes to an open Kevin Love three-pointer, Ricky gets credit for the expected value of an assisted three above and beyond the lowest value shot (an unassisted midrange jumper). Love then earns points for making that shot above average, and loses points for making it below average.
Mostly the PA100.off score of player's positional counterparts. However, credit for blocks and steals is given to the blocker/stealer. For example, when Nikola Pekovic blocks Steve Nash, Pekovic gets credit for a missed rim shot, while Rubio is debited for an allowed rim shot.
PA100.off - PA100.def
HLP and component numbers:
These numbers show the difference in how non-counterpart opposing players perform when ego is in the game. Do opposing shooting guards perform worse with Ricky is in the game, or on the bench? What about opposing centers? This measure gives players a quarter share of responsibility for the performance of each non-counterpart opposing player. The HLP measure simply combines the player's impact on the four other positions over an average 100 possession period.
The biggest concern to keep in mind when interpreting these numbers is the cohort effect. Some players are almost always on the court together, and this makes the HLP measure for that position largely useless.

From LeakyPedia
Gregorovich is a wandmaker, believed to have been in possession of the Elder Wand, and to have been seeking to model his own wands on the powerful Hallow.
At some point many years ago, Gregorovitch came into the possession of the Elder Wand, one of the Deathly Hallows, but it was stolen by Albus Dumbledore's (then) close friend, Gellert Grindelwald. Because of this Lord Voldemort hunted down Gregorovitch, keeping him from escaping by using Levicorpus and a Full Body-Bind Curse. He demanded that he give him the wand, but Gregorovitch said it had been stolen from him years ago. Voldemort believed he was lying, and as such performed Legilimency to confirm it. During his search through Gregorovitch's memories, Voldemort found the memory of the incident when he lost the wand. Voldemort immediately demanded to know who the thief was, but when Gregorovitch told him he did not know, Voldemort ignored Gregorovitch's pleas for mercy and killed him.
Viktor Krum, a professional Quidditch Seeker, owns a Gregorovitch wand.

Research Interests
Our group uses an interdisciplinary approach in applying physical techniques to the study of biological molecules, especially the structure, function, and interaction of enzymes and fluorescent proteins. The primary technique we use is x-ray crystallography, but occasionally we do computer modeling of enzyme active sites and other properties of proteins. In the laboratory, chemists and biologists collaborate with physicists to achieve a broader intellectual basis for the research.
Green Fluorescent Protein
The newest and most exciting project in the laboratory involves a protein that spontaneously rearranges itself to become fluorescent, absorbing blue light (or UV) and re-emitting green light, hence the name Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). GFP was discovered in the Pacific Northwest jellyfish Aequorea victoria and has become enormously popular as a visible tag for proteins of interest or as a marker for gene expression. It is nontoxic and has been expressed in essentially all types of organisms ranging from bacteria to mice. No host factors are required for the transformation to a fluorescent protein. If GFP is linked to a protein of interest, the cellular location of that protein in the living cell is revealed by a glance in the fluorescence microscope. We determined the structure of the protein in 1996 and have since embarked on a large project to generate a variety of biosensors by taking advantage of the fact that most forms of the protein actually have two absorption maxima that are sensitive to changes in the protein structure. Using genetic engineering techniques we have successfully constructed visual pH indicators, halide (chloride) concentration indicators and redox potential sensors. The color of the protein can also be modified by changing the environment or internal structure of the chromophore, which is derived from the primary sequence Ser(Thr)65-Tyr66-Gly67. We reported a yellow mutant in 1996 based on substitution of Thr203 with Tyr, but subsequently a Russian group has discovered related proteins from coral that fluoresce yellow and red, enabling multicolor reporting of a variety of cellular processes. It is fascinating that these different fluorescent proteins are nevertheless based on the same Xaa-Tyr-Gly peptide, and suggests that additional autocatalytic chemistry is involve in maturation of the protein. Crystals of a red variant are now on hand and work is well under way to determine the structure.
Enzyme Structure-Function Relationships
For many years we have worked to determine detailed structure function relationships in citrate synthase, which is at the entry to the citric acid cycle and is found in every organism examined. Citrate synthase, in its rate-determining step, abstracts a proton from the methyl group of acetylCoenzyme A to form a carbon-carbon double bond. The side chain which accomplishes this task is Asp375 working in concert with His274 (sequence numbering of pig heart enzyme). This equilibrium for this seemingly simple reaction is disfavored in solution by 12-15 orders of magnitude, and proposals for how an enzyme can do this are extremely controversial. Several publication have resulted from our studies, but the answer remains elusive. Recently, we determined the crystal structure of an enzyme that catalyzes an essentially identical reaction (malate synthase) in order to compare their respective mechanisms. It was fascinating to discover that the underlying chemistry is essentially the same in the two enzymes, but all of the details with the exception of an aspartic acid acting as a base are different. Evidently, Nature has discovered only one solution to this fundamental problem in chemistry, but the machinery is almost totally different! These studies are ongoing.
In the last few years, we have defined the first structures of two new families of enzymes, glycerol kinase and serine carboxypeptidase and may continue studies in these areas in the future. However, they are now "back burner" projects in favor of other exciting developments. Both enzymes are members of newly discovered superfamilies that are very diverse. For example glycerol kinase, actin and the heat shock cognate chaperonin (HSC70) are all ATPases with the same basic fold that utilize conformational changes upon hydrolysis of ATP to drive otherwise unrelated and extremely diverse biological processes.

i get the feeling pac/may ain't happening once bradley demolishes pac. i don't think arum will match timmy with floyd either. i think may/canelo should be his last fight and i also believe martinez is too big for floyd. so who's that leave? i'd like to see the rematch. their styles will always make for a great match up. they should do this before the year is over. i'm sure they did great numbers...and will do well in a rematch. anyone else interested besides me?

Mayweather vs Cotto 2 in MSG! Scoring it round by round I had a draw Mayweather closed the show and won 10-11-12 but I thought Cotto pressing the fight and being very effective...even outboxing Mayweather in the middle of the ring at times and completely dominating and beating Mayweather up in the 8th round. I don't know what fight the judges saw or the commentating team. The same team gave an old DLH credit and thought that fight was close but didn't give Cotto an ounce of the credit he deserved. Cottos defense was better than usual and he didn't get caught with any big shots until the end of the fight. I think we see Mayweather fight either Alvarez or the winner of Berto-Ortiz....but I would much rather see Mayweather vs Cotto 2.

Dusty Baker missed 11 games before returning for the final series of the year and the postseason.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Reds manager Dusty Baker has kept the weight off. He looked fit, rested and happy. He says he feels as good as he looks.
"Oh, yeah, I'm doing great," Baker said. "You know, the rest does wonders. Being at home, being with your family, all these things. Plus, I've been poked and prodded and doctors from all over to determine what was wrong and to make sure it doesn't come back. I think I'll be fine."
Baker, of course, had a major health scare late last season. He was hospitalized in Chicago with an irregular heartbeat. He ended up having a mini-stroke as he was being released from the ...

David Denby may think that cinema is dead (or dying), but maybe the dude needs to get out more. The New Yorker film critic has dropped his
list essay on the Best Movies Of 2012, and for a guy has found a lot of fault for how the studios make movies, his list features lots of studio and studio indie fare. Just sayin'.
Anyway, Denby has pontificated at length, declaring Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" and Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" as "the two strongest movies of the year" owing to the strong writer/director relationship in each movie (Tony Kushner wroter the former, Mark Boal the latter). Other films making the cut? Benh Zeitlin's "Beasts of the Southern Wild," Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom," Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" and more along with a few documentaries as well.
Anyway, the full list (in order they were mentioned, they aren't ranked by Denby) below.
The New Yorker's David Denby's Best Movies Of 2012

Denby once wrote "one of the extraordinary advantages of growing up French is that you can be absurd without ever quite knowing it." Who cares what this moron thinks?

Dan Brisse is famous for taking urban snowboarding to the next level. In association with Absinthe Films, he has often had his sanity called into question for his seeming willingness to take a hit. Parts in Capita's 'Defenders of Awesome' and Absinthe's 'Twelve' are testimony to this. Having said that, Brisse does also utilise a calculated and precise approach in conquering some of the heaviest rail and gap setups. His team-mates describe him as 'very right brain' and Bode Merrill described him as a snowboarding machine. Brisse won the ESPN's Real Snow gold in 2011. In true Brisse style it featured a huge building-to-building transfer. An injury to this MCL came soon after this success so he was unable to continue his good form. Dan combines his analysis and precision with little regard for his own safety and an infectious enthusiasm for going bigger and harder than those before him. Born on December 11, 1983, in frosty Minnesota, Brisse is something of a local hero. Many of his friends work in the construction industry which comes in handy when it comes to building ridiculous kickers.

Csirkérezá Eorsebet (Cheer-kay-ree-zah Ur-sa-bet) was introduced to the SCA at the Lakewood Renaissance Faire in September, 1999. After attending a few more events, became more active in 2005. Following a short hiatus while starting a family, Eorsebet has become more active again.
Eorsebet was born in 1215 as the second daughter of a butcher. Born and raised on a farm in the outskirts of Budapest, Hungary, Eorsebet was taught the art of harvesting food from chickens. Thus earning her the surname Csirkérezá, which loosely translates to English as the chicken harvester or chicken reaper.

Camilla has something to celebrate today, a brand new Walmart Super Center.
This super center isn't like all the super centers you've seen before.
It's the first of it's kind, a small format super center but employees say the customers won't miss out on anything.
"We're not missing anything a super center have smaller format but everything the customer will" says store manager Kimberly Alexander
You'll see some new rows when you walk into the store.
"The produce their going to walk they are going to see the fresh meat, they will walk back and see a full line of frozen we have everything we didn't have over at the other store. We have added in over 900 skews of what we had" says Alexander.
And customers seem to like it too.
Nan Chapman says "Well it's just great I've just had the biggest time today I could have spent a week"
She used to shop at the old Walmart and she is glad to see the new one open.
"I've been waiting for this a long time. I can come here and do one stop shopping" say Chapman.
There were rumors that WalMart could be leaving Camilla. Shoppers say they are so glad Walmart stayed.
"I won't have to travel out of town to another Walmart and it really do mean a lot to have a Walmart here in Camilla" says Moncorrius Brown.
The new supercenter may be smaller format but it is making a big impression on Camilla resident.
Walmart marked the day by giving back and making a donation to the community.

On Monday, February 11, 2013, at 6pm, we are holding the 2nd in our series of Local Grower meetings in the new Community Room at our Near West Side store.
As we plan another season of purchasing fresh and local foods, our goal is to offer our customers the very best produce selection of any grocery store in our region. This means partnering with local and regional growers to offer a product that is of superior quality and freshness. As part of our commitment to local agriculture, we hope to continuously strengthen our relationships with local farmers and growers, helping bring food from the field to the store and into the homes of our shoppers.
This meeting is for both our current growers and potential new ones. It offers a chance for us to share some information about our needs and guidelines as a store, to have a discussion about the upcoming season, and to gather some information about our growers and their farms.
We are hoping to use this meeting to simplify and strengthen our procedures and systems so we are able to work most effectively with existing partners. We are always looking to extend the circle of growers we work with, bringing more local goods into Bloomingfoods. These are Principle Six products, preferred for meeting our highest values.
Grower Meeting Dates
• Monday, January 28th at 6pm (completed)
• Monday, February 11th at 6pm (completed)
Bloomingfoods Grower Meetings:
• Will be held at Near West Side Community Room, through the doorway near the rear of our parking lot
• Bloomingfoods will provide soup and salad
• We ask that you please RSVP either by emailing or calling Alan Simmerman @812-339-4442 ext. 118.

Mother's Day surprise for special care mums (From Dudley News)
Get involved! Send your photos, video, news & views by texting DN NEWS to 80360 or e-mail us
Dudley volunteers have a surprise in store for special care mums
12:00pm Saturday 29th March 2014 in News
MUMS spending their first Mother's Day in hospital with poorly babies will be treated to a special delivery from kind-hearted Dudley volunteers.
Volunteers from the Dudley Bliss Group will visit the neonatal unit at Russell's Hall Hospital tomorrow (Sunday) armed with gift bags containing chocolate and toiletries, donated by local businesses.
Members of the family support group, which holds monthly meetings for families who have had babies on any neonatal unit and live in or around Dudley borough, will also give mums a card and a poem written by Bliss volunteer, Joanne Weston.
She said: "It can be hard to feel like you are a new mother when your baby is on a neonatal unit, especially when they are very poorly in an incubator and you don't get to cuddle them very much. "The nursing staff are the babies' main carers and the mums get involved when they can like with changing nappies and feeding, when the babies are a little better.
"It's nice to be reminded that you are a mum and to be made to feel special because of that."
For more information about the group, visit www.dudleybliss.org.uk.

Competition is fierce in that segment. There's the Samyang and the Zeiss, not to mention the original Canon and Nikon lenses. Hope Sigma will take it into account.
Sigma don't always get their pricing right. Just recall the debacle of the SD1 launch at Photokina 2010.
It was 4-5 times more expensive than it should have been and very few were sold.
Hopefully that experience was a reality check for Sigma and the 35 f/1.4 will be both price competitive and an IQ hero.

Harry Hyland, age 8, wrote in his loopy cursive on Dec. 21, 1899: "Dear Santa Claus, Please bring me a football, an air rifle and a golf stick. Your little friend, Harry W. Hyland."
A reflection of the times -- and maybe Harry's behavior -- comes in a follow-up letter two weeks later: "Dear Santa Claus, Thank you for my top, my cap, my handkerchief, my gloves, my candy and my nuts and my hook and ladder."
The letters Harry wrote in his third grade class at the Wingate School in Haverhill, Mass., 114 years ago are rekindling the spirit of Christmas for one family. Harry's grandson, 63-year-old Joseph P. Blanchette, believes them to be the oldest "Dear Santa" letters on record, based on information from the Miami, Fla.-based World Record Academy.
For nearly a decade at Christmas time, Blanchette – a native of Lawrence, Mass., who now lives in Vermont -- has broken out the two letters to share with his family.
"I hang them up on the wall or set them up in the house," Blanchette, 63, a retired high school history teacher, said of the letters — both of them preserved in picture frames.
"It's always kind of an interesting discussion point this time of year. It triggers people to start telling stories on their own — about what Christmas Eve was like, or writing letters to Santa or what Santa brought them," Blanchette said.
The earliest date of verifiable letters to Santa belongs to two children from Dublin, Ireland in 1911, according to World Record Academy. The children asked Santa for a baby doll, a waterproof with a hood, a pair of gloves, a toffee apple, a gold penny, a silver sixpence and a long toffee.
That record still stands, Tom Howard of the academy confirmed in an email to The Eagle-Tribune.

Thanksgiving DUI arrests through Saturday up in Bay Area, state with 11 traffic deaths so far

If the arrested had there names published on the net (or) in print
I bet there would be a lot less incidents. Forget there confidentiality.
The public has a right to know who are drunk, impaired, driving the
same streets we do with our family and precious children.
on Nov 29, 2010 at 11:54 am
Although I think K. thompson's idea of publishing the names of those arrested for DUIs is a little over the top and I'm not sure about the legality of publishing the names? I'm also thinking Why Not? If public employees' salaries are published under the guise that it's public information and we, the taxpayers, pay their salaries so it's our right to know. Why isn't it also our right to know which citizens are using good taxpayer monies & the time of police officers arresting them? Law enforcement time & money could be better spent or even saved if not for people driving intoxicated.
Maybe a happy medium could be established by publishing the names of those arrests with prior DUI arrests?? The system is too easy on DUIs. 1st offenses should be dealt with more harshly than just a slap on the wrist; alcohol counseling, lose your license for a year, lose your ability to own a car.....Just a thought....
on Nov 29, 2010 at 2:38 pm
Maja....I can tell you a first time offense is no walk in the park, my cousin got a dui while in college a few years ago. His attorney fees were around $5,000, his fine to Butte County was $1,800, his auto insurance went from $1,000 per year (good student discount, good driving record) to $3,000 and I believe it stays on his record for 7 years (even though his charge was a misdemeanor). I'm not condoning his actions but the laws have been toughened up significantly. It is a major hit financially, which has been a good deterrent.

do not be fooled by C & D "reform"
The time for pension reform is now but the proposals being put forward (C&D) are not the way. Pension reform must go hand in hand with SALARY reform!!!
Facts about C&D
· Big lie from City Hall: the City's 27,000 employees average $93,000 in salaries, driving up pensions
· True:Of the 36,644 City employees in calendar year 2010, 18,972 (52%) earned less than $70,000, Their average total salaries were just $35,091
· 11,838 employees (32.3%) earn over $90,000, Their average total salaries were $123,874!
· In 2003, there were 2,918 City employees earning over $90,000 in total pay, costing $314 million.
· In 2010, there were 11,838 employees earning over $90,000, a staggering 305.7 percent change since calendar year 2003!
· San Francisco's employee retirement system is relatively healthy. It earned a 12.55% investment return last year —$1.65 billion — not the 7.75% annual return Jeff Adachi's and Mayor Ed Lee's flawed proposals are based on.
· Service pensions average $79,347 for firemen; $70,932 for police officers; and $27,623 for "miscellaneous" employees (inflated by $100,000+ salaries of "some miscellaneous" staff).
· Employees earning $60,000 with 13 year's service at age 62 earn small $18,213 pensions. Highly-paid managers and safety employees earning over $100,000 continue collecting six-figure pensions.
· Prop. Ccap "safety" pensions at $183,750 and cap "miscellaneous" pensions at $208,230.
· Prop. Dcap pensions at $140,000. Both ballot measures failed capping pensions at $80,000.
· Prop. Cdiscriminates against lower-paid City employees, requiring a flat 10% pension contribution for those earning $50,000 to $100,000.
· Prop Duses a sliding scale, but employees earning below $70,000 may pay up to 13% while those earning $100,000 to $200,000 pay only15.5%.
· Current employees may face paying 16% to 20% of their wages, plus unknown health care cost increases, if either "C" or "D" passes. Fixed-income retirees will also see their health care costs soar, and will lose the supplemental COLA.
PLEASE DEFEAT C&d AND LET'S START REFORMING OFFENSIVELY HIGH SALARIES!

Ofgem: New reforms will be 'clearer and simpler'
Energy regulator Ofgem has responded to claims that customers will spend more money on their energy bills following confusing changes to tariffs.
An Ofgem spokesman said that Ofgem's reforms will deliver a "simpler, clearer and fairer energy market for consumers", making it easier for them to choose the right deal for them.
– Ofgem spokesman
Which? is misrepresenting the purpose of the tariff comparison rate and how it fits into the full scope of Ofgem's reform package. The tariff comparison rate acts as a prompt to consumers to take a look at comparative deals . The tool is similar to the 'typical
APR' used in financial services marketing. But it is partnered with personalised consumption information necessary to make a full and accurate cross market comparison , which every supplier must provide via bills and annual statements. Ofgem's reforms will also see suppliers cheapest deals on your bill.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville parents who are behind on their child support are getting a public reminder of what they owe. The Jefferson County Attorney's Office has announced this year's list of people who are more than a year behind on their payments.
The office plans to list more than 3,000 names on its website, and is hoping for the public's help. It wants people to come forward about updated addresses or job information for the people on the list.
This year's list contains 3,882 names on the insert and website, last known addresses and the amount of child support owed as of August 27, 2013. Individuals listed owe a collective $99.7 million.
"Our purpose in publishing this list is to get location information on these individuals," said County Attorney Mike O'Connell. "We need for the public to read the list, then call us at 574-0821 with location information."
The printed insert lists 1,300 names and addresses. Additional names may be found at www.louisvilleky.gov/countyattorney.
"This is just one of the strategies our office uses to collect the support these children need, but it is one of the most successful," said O'Connell.
Seven previous inserts have resulted in the collection of $8.8 million for the children of Metro Louisville.
Child support officials say the economy has made it harder for a lot of people to pay. Angie Anton, Child Support Division Director, points out, "Most parents aren't deliberately avoiding their child support obligations. They fall on hard times or they lose a job or they may be nervous about coming to the office to ask for advice about what to do."
So far, the city has collected almost $9 million in child support payments over the last eight years by releasing the names to the public

The "style" is the way in which it is written - the way in which the writer uses words, grammar and syntax.

The green benefits of PC power management may have their allure, but given the state of the economy, I can't blame any IT manager for putting cost considerations first.
Therein lies the beauty of PC power management, though: I'm quite convinced the easy-to-calculate ROI makes it a no-brainer.
For those of you not in the know, PC power management software enables an IT admin to set all users' PCs and monitors to power down after a predetermined set of time -- but power up quickly when they're needed during the work day. Those solutions that include wake-on LAN capabilities can awaken machines automatically for patching or other remote maintenance, meaning those tasks can be easily completed after hours and the systems can still get their rest.
First, consider the costs of not powering down PCs when they're not in use. I've seen figures ranging from $25 to $75 for a computer/monitor combo. Why the range? I suppose it depends on what model computer and monitor you're running (LCDs use far less power than CRTs), as well as how much use your systems get in a day. If they go long spells without being touched, then there's more money to be saved from powering them down.
But let's just go with the low-end figure and say it costs you $25 to power each desktop and monitor in your organization when they're not in use.
Now let's look at the costs of software to power down PCs. I spoke with the CEO of Autonomic Software, Tony Gigliotti, today. His company offers its ANSA suites, which uses an intelligent agent for such tasks as vulnerability management, asset management, and, in line with the subject at hand, PC power management. He told me that Autonomic's Software costs around $33 per license for the first year, then $10 per license per year after that. (Notably, Autonomic isn't the only player in this space; BigFix, Verdiem Surveyor, KACE KBOX, and 1E NightWatchmanoffers offer competing solutions.)
So let's do a little math. Say you have 500 computers at your organization, and you decide to invest in some PC power management software. If it's around $33 per license, you're looking to pay $16,500 for the software. But you're also going to be making back $25 (which, again, is a low-end estimate) per computer that year thanks to energy savings. That would mean $12,500 in savings for the first year.
Over two years, though, you'd make your money back. How so? Well, you're paying $10 per license, which totals $5,000 -- but you're saving another $12,500 (assuming power costs remain unchanged). So in two years, you'll have spent $21,500, but you'll have saved $25,000. Voila. Money in the bank.
