Generosity Fuels Earth Day energy Event at Crestmont
by Darcy Harvey
On Earth Day 2008, Bloomingfoods employee Darcy Harvey and IU student Chris Mills handed out 500 Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) light bulbs, reusable bags and energy saving tips to residents of the Crestmont neighborhood.
"People came from homes across the street to homes from around the block, and we were also able to arrange for Joe McGibbon to deliver CFLs on his bicycle to folks who were unable to leave their homes. Many of the bulbs donated were from YOU - Bloomingfoods shoppers - given during Energy Awareness Month last October," Darcy explained.
"People came outside on such a warm and sunny day, gathered around our table, conversed and told stories, then went back to their homes and immediately told their friends and neighbors to come pick up their free CFLs. It was not simply a CFL giveaway, but a beautiful demonstration of community," said Mills of the Earth Day event.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Mar. 20, 2009)—Santa Anita Park will play host to its second annual "Santa Anita Uncorked" wine event on Sunday, Mar. 29. The event, which includes wine tasting, cuisine sampling and an art show, will be held in Santa Anita's beautiful Paddock Gardens area, adjacent to the Seabiscuit Walking Ring.
Fans aged 21 and over are encouraged to spend a day at Santa Anita tasting fine wines, sampling cuisine from popular area restaurants, and perusing a colorful Paddock Art Exhibit while experiencing an exciting day at the races.
"Santa Anita Uncorked" will again be sponsored by the Wine of the Month Club, based in nearby Monrovia.
Headlining an impressive list of visiting wineries is the label "Jinetes" (which translates to "rider" in Spanish). Jinetes was a popular first-ever release last year which was produced by a Mendicino, Ca. based vineyard.
Jinetes is owned by top jockeys Mike Smith and Alex Solis, along with Thoroughbred owner Tom Lenner. Categorized as a Syrah, Jinetes will be personally presented by the two jockeys, mounts permitting, and will be available along with other brands, for tasting in the Paddock Gardens area.
Jinetes will also be available by the bottle and glass in Santa Anita's FrontRunner Restaurant.
"I've been collecting wine for 21 years," said Solis, a winner of more than 4,600 races, who is once again a finalist for Thoroughbred racing's Hall of Fame. "My number one passion is racing and wine is my number two passion."
Smith, a winner of 14 Breeders' Cup races in an illustrious career that included Hall of Fame induction in 2003, said "We're very excited about this wine. If you appreciate and enjoy wine, it's pretty incredible to have your own. We're very proud of it and I think a lot of people are going to be surprised by just how good it is."
Cuisine will be provided by local upscale restaurants, including Matt Denny's, Nikki C's, and Langham Hotels.
The "Uncorked" art exhibit will feature artist Erica Nordean and others.
"Santa Anita Uncorked" packages will include: Parking, Club House admission, including a grandstand seat, racing program, wine tasting, cuisine sampling, art exhibit and a souvenir wine glass.
Tickets for admission, parking, program and restricted-area wrist band are available for $60 each, and can be purchased at the Santa Anita ticket office, or by phone at (626) 574-RACE. Tickets can also be purchased on-line at www.santaanita.com.
Proceeds from "Santa Anita Uncorked" will go to benefit Rotary Club Youth Services and Arcadia High School Athletic Boosters.

DBA vs. My Name..
Hello all,
I first should state that I reside in Florida.
I am going into business with a friend of mine and we've encountered an issue that we can't seem to find a resolution to..
We've been thinking of a name for our business when she told me that it's cheaper to use your name for the business instead of a DBA. What I'm wondering is if it's still considered a name if we use our first names together (ex: Alice Lori Cleaning) if my name is Alice and hers is Lori. OR do we need to pick one of us to have our whole name (Alice Doe Cleaning or Lori Johnson Cleaning) ? We'd like to have both our names, so if we want it that way, do we need to have a DBA?
Thanks for any answers, I really appreciate it!

You're definitely going to need to register a DBA though. Since you are either forming a true partnership or a LLC or S-Corp, your going to need to register a DBA regardless because it's an entity owner by more than 1 person. Registering a DBA is easy and fairly cheap. You generally need to go down to, or file online with your secretary of state. Your bank will most likely require your DBA certificate before they allow you to open a checking account in the name of your business.
You can name it anything you want. You could also name it something like: A.L. Cleaning. You might take a poll of friends and family once you come up with a few name candidates.
You can register one online: https://efile.sunbiz.org/ficregintro.html
In the future, it would probably be a good idea to incorporate as an LLC or S-Corp, but many businesses start out as true partnerships.Merchant Equipment Store - Merchant Services, POS, Equipment, and supplies.

I agree that the DBA shouldn't be a factor in the cost of doing business, and you aren't going to need a DBA unless you are operating under a different name than your business or yourself.
If you are operating as sole proprietor, you can accept checks in your own name and operate the business under that name, too.
If you are incorporating, you can accept checks and operate the business under that name, too.
If you are not using your natural name and not using your corporate name, but instead are 'doing business as' another name then you need to file a DBA (doing business as) which simply tells the world who you are and that you are doing business under another name. If you accept checks using that name, the bank will usually require a DBA so that they can see that you are, in fact, the recipient of the check.
But, a DBA only costs a small fee and it shouldn't really be a cost consideration when you are starting up. At the beginning, you should be thinking about convenience, cashflow, liability, and taxes, not to mention taxes and also taxes!The fewer our wants, the nearer we resemble the gods. Socrates

False banana, pawpaw apple, custard banana, poor man's banana, Hoosier banana.
Asimina triloba, commonly known as Pawpaw, is native to North America and has edible bean shaped fruits. In vitro studies showed that Pawpaw extract has cytotoxic properties against cancer cell lines including those resistant to Adriamycin (1)and antiangiogenic properties (9). Compounds known as acetogenins are thought to be the active constituents (2). However, clinical studies are lacking.
Extracts of twigs and leaves have been used in anti-lice shampoos (3) and as pesticides (4).
Annonacin, a major constituent of Pawpaw, and the crude fruit extract have been shown to cause neurotoxicity in vitro (10).
Asimina triloba should not be confused with graviola, also known as Brazilian Paw paw, or with papaya, another fruit with a similar texture and appearance.
Pawpaw fruit
Acetogenins inhibit Complex I of the electron transport chain and NADH oxidase, a protein in the plasma membrane (1). With the decrease in regenerable NAD, the ATP levels drop, leading to subsequent cell death by apoptosis. In vivo experiments have demonstrated Pawpaw's cytotoxicity in mice (5). Pawpaw extract is also cytotoxic to Multi-Drug Resistant cells in vitro (1). This is thought to occur via acetogenin's inhibition of the 170 kDa plasma membrane glycoprotein (the P-170 glycoprotein), an efflux pump used by cells resistant to drugs like Adriamycin (1). Annonacin, a major ingredient of Pawpaw fruit, and the crude fruit extract were shown to be toxic to cortical neurons (10).
Pawpaw is not regulated by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and may not be adequately tested for safety.
Unpublished case studies indicate reports of improvement by cancer patients after consuming pawpaw extract (8). These studies were conducted without proper experimental controls and statistical analyses.
There are several Web sites that promote pawpaw as an effective treatment for cancer. However, there is very little scientific evidence to support such claims.
Bottom Line: Pawpaw is toxic to some cancer cells, but such effects have not been shown in humans.
The major components of Pawpaw are compounds known as acetogenins. They prevent the cell from making ATP, an important energy source. In lab studies, the extract was shown to kill cancer cells that were resistant to commonly used chemotherapy drugs such as Adriamycin, and appear to be more toxic to cancer cells than to normal cells. However, this has not been shown in humans. The plant extract is used in anti-lice shampoo and in pesticides.
Pawpaw has not been studied in well designed clinical trials.
Pawpaw is toxic to cells in test tubes and lab mice. Since there are no clear guidelines for dosage in human trials, this extract is not recommended. Pawpaw pills are not regulated by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA). They may contain too little or too much of the active substance and may not have been adequately tested for safety.
There are several Web sites that promote pawpaw as an effective treatment for cancer. However, there is very little scientific evidence to support such claims.

Amazing Prices on Beautiful Shutters
I have decided that I would really like to have some shutters put into my house, and I want to have them professionally installed. I have heard of a Orange County Shutters company that really does a good job. At least, my friend was very satisfied by the work that they did at his house. Indeed, I have been to his house, and the shutters to look very nice. They have made a great improvement to his house, and spurred me to try to get them installed in my house as well.
I am just worried about the pricing, because I do not have a lot of extra money saved up right now. (more…)

Summer Salon Series 2011: Geoffrey West
Sorry, you need to install flash to see this content.
Summer Salon Series 2011
August 11
Dr. Geoffrey West presents his lecture The Science of Cities and Their Critical Role in Global Sustainability: Growth, Mortality, Innovation, and the Accelerating Pace of Life.
Dr. Geoffrey West, a theoretical physicist and expert on the fundamental laws of cities, says he has found the simple equations that define the variables of municipalities and posits that, as our vibrant centers of innovation, cities are our best hope for solving current and future problems. Fresh off of his presentation at the 2011 TED Global Conference, Dr. West will join our continuing conversation about building better cities by explaining to us how urban centers function much like biological organisms.
For more on Geoffrey West, please read his bio from the Santa Fe Institute, or the New York Times article A Physicist Solves the City.

Recently, taking advantage of the summer weather, I spent a lazy Sunday on Hampstead Heath. As I made the short walk from my home in Archway to the park it became increasingly clear to me there was defacto segregation in effect in north
Of course I am talking about social class – which has become a dirty word under New Labour. Inequalities of gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation are currently 'in', while talking about class gets you labelled a dinosaur. However, social class is still a central concept in understanding society today, with numerous studies showing how the class a person is born into influences many aspects of their lives, and directly affects a person's life chances. But what does it mean to be on the wrong side of this class divide?
Poverty is seriously damaging to your health. Studies overwhelmingly show that for most health conditions, those with lower incomes have it much worse than those who are rich. Respiratory diseases, coronary heart disease, lung cancer, strokes, tooth decay and suicide are all more prevalent among the poor. Fat is also a class issue. Recent figures from the Department of Health show that the rate of obesity for girls in the most well-off quintile was 4.5 per cent, doubling to 8.8 per cent in the most deprived quintile. One of the reasons for this disparity might be nutritional. The Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) notes "the poorer you are the worse your diet", with surveys consistently showing poorer families tend to consume less fruit and vegetables, and more fats and sugars.[i]
According to Office for National Statistics figures the life expectancy gap between the richest and poorest parts of the country is at an all-time high. Women living in Kensington and Chelsea can expect, on average, to live 12 years longer than their counterparts in
Children from poorer families tend to do less well at school than those who are richer, with less staying on after GCSEs.[iii] Indeed, the attainment gap tends to widen as children progress through the education system.[iv] Those children from poor families that do make it to university can expect more debt than other students, and by taking part-time jobs to ward off this debt, tend to depress their final degree mark.[v]
Oblivious to all the evidence I have just presented, recent research by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation about attitudes to poverty found "the public are largely unaware or in denial of its existence."[vi] When poverty was admitted many put it down to "bad choices and wrong priorities", "laziness or lack of will power".[vii]
These individualistic explanations mirror what many of the privileged say about poverty: "Yes life is unfair, but if you work hard, you can make it". This meritocratic myth is a convenient justification for gross social inequality. However, as well as being an insult to the millions of people who work tremendously hard just to survive, this argument is becoming increasingly dated. Over the past twenty years, social mobility has ground to a halt, with the gap between rich and poor actually widening. Today, a middle-class child is 15 times more likely to stay middle-class than a working-class child is likely to move up into the middle-class. "By 18 or 20 your life is largely mapped out for you", argues Danny Dorling, Professor of Human Geography at
The system works by exploiting the many to create wealth for the few, not by rewarding hard work in and for itself. Interestingly, it is the countries with the least amount of social mobility (the
Although New Labour has made some progress in reducing child poverty, the recent news that the number of children living in poverty actually rose by 200,000 in 2005/6 demonstrates the Government is not doing enough to achieve its publicly-stated aim of halving child poverty by 2010.[ix] "Reducing child poverty will require much more investment and a broader strategy", says CPAG's Chief Executive Kate Green. "It's time address the structural causes, including
Confined by the straightjacket of neo-liberalism and happy to bank roll imperialist wars and Trident replacement, it is unlikely Gordon Brown is going to significantly reduce poverty further.

It doesn't come easy for the Phoenix Coyotes: despite ownership questions, they finally win the Pacific Division for the first time since moving to Phoenix to earn a No. 3 seed. Their reward: a seventh-seeded Chicago Blackhawks squad that won more games and finished with more points than the Coyotes.

Tutorials for glpk
A series of three tutorials on using the GNU Linear Programming Kit (glpk) is available on the IBM website
- The GNU Linear Programming Kit, Part 1: Introduction to linear optimization
- The GNU Linear Programming Kit, Part 2: Intermediate problems in linear programming
- The GNU Linear Programming Kit, Part 3: Advanced problems and elegant solutions
These tutorials deal in particular with using glpsol, the standalone mip solver and the modeling language GNU MathProg which is very similar to AMPL (actually GNU MathProg is a subset of AMPL). Several examples and well-known optimization problems are discussed, modeled, and solved using glpk.
So if you are interested in linear / integer programming with glpk and you are looking for a good introduction, you should definitely check out these tutorials. Also, glpk comes with a lot of examples that give a pretty good overview on how to formulate optimization problems in GNU MathProg. In case you are using windows you also might want to try the GUSEK IDE which wraps glpk in a nice user interface.
Also, if you have the feeling at some point that GNU MathProg is a cool modeling language (afterall it is almost AMPL but free) but you need to use a different solver like CPLEX or CBC you can still continue using your old models written in GNU MathProg or even write new ones as you can use the modeling language and the solver separately: Using glpsol (the standalone solver contained in glpk) with the appropriate parameter set, you can write CPLEX LP or MPS files for example that you can use as input for e.g., CPLEX.
UPDATE 24.01.2010: An updated version with much more information about GLPK, interfaces to other software, tutorials, etc. can be found here.
The integrity of user reviews
I was unpleasantly surprised when I had to learn from The Daily Background that companies (in this case Belkin) use services like Amazon's Mechanical Turk to improve their online reviews by actually paying people to write positive reviews and rate bad reviews as "not helpful". For the sake of fairness, the statement of Belkin's president concerning this incident is available here.
Amazon's Mechanical Turk (from their website)
is a marketplace for work that requires human intelligence. [...] Mechanical Turk aims to make accessing human intelligence simple, scalable, and cost-effective. Businesses or developers needing tasks done (called Human Intelligence Tasks or "HITs") can use the robust Mechanical Turk APIs to access thousands of high quality, low cost, global, on-demand workers [...]
Whatever one might think about the Belkin case, it highlights three things:
- As we might have already suspected, user reviews might be indeed bought. In this particular case it was really obvious but I would not be too surprised if there are agencies specialized in writing reviews as part of their marketing services.
- It is not clear how one should evaluate the credibility of user reviews. Given that these reviews were actually written by different people it is rather unlikely to find a pattern – except maybe for the requested downgrading of bad reviews in this particular case.
- How would one actually establish that the request for user reviews was indeed posted by Belkin (or one of its employees). This poses a problem of a completely different dimension: Somebody might stage such a request to deliberately damage the reputation of a company (as discussed here).
If somebody is willing to pay for such a service, there will be somebody doing the job. Actually the construct reminds me of how spam networks work: trojans or viruses take control of an infected computer and report to some kind of a central instance (in many cases IRC channels). Then when spam emails have to be sent out the master forwards the spam email to the (so called) zombies that in turn forward it to millions of people. The catch is that it appears that the emails came from the infected computers making it especially hard to track down the spammers. Similarly in the Belkin case, expect for the fact that the human intelligence task (HIT) was discovered before it was completed (and hence automatically removed from the list of available HIT jobs). Otherwise it would have been equally hard to establish that the reviews were indeed fabricated.
One possibility (at least for Amazon) would be to allow only ratings from people that actually bought the product (which of course might pose some other problems). Alternatively, with user consent, Amazon might indicate when the user bought the product on Amazon. I guess it would cost significantly more than $0.65 (this is what the Belkin rep was willing to pay) to have somebody write a positive review for a product one wishes to not have bought in first place.
In any case, it becomes more and more apparent that we might need strong mechanism to ensure or verify identities. First, to track down questionable behavior and second to protect other entities from false accusations or other forms of misconduct. I am well aware that this discussion also has a lot of privacy related aspects that I didn't address here…
But honestly, what is a review system good for when it lacks credibility? Just imagine the consequences in the case of scientific publications…

Updated version of normaliz available
Normaliz is an excellent tool to compute Hilbert bases or e.g., integral closures of rational cones. It can also be used to calculate the integral closure of solutions to a system of (in-)equalities.
From the announcement:
We have now uploaded version 2.1 of Normaliz. See
The main changes relative to version 2.0 are:
– a Macaulay2 package written by Gesa Kämpf
– addition of (a variant of) Pottier's algorithm for solving systems of equations and inequalities
– improvements in the user interface
See http://www.math.uos.de/normaliz/Normaliz2.1Documentation.pdf for more information.
The Cult of Genius
I just came across an interesting article on the Cosmic Variance Blog with the title The Cult of Genius. Ok the article is a bit older, i.e., from February 2007 but still worth reading. I guess the title is self-explaining ;-) Although it, in particular, deals with physicists I suppose the message applies to other fields as well.
From the article:
While some physicists are known for their hearty support of atheism, even they can have some personal dieties. High in the physicist's pantheon sits Richard Feynman, due not only to his obvious smarts and good work, but also to an outsized personality chonicled in a wealth of popular writings (and even a movie!). I've always had mixed feelings about Feynman as a cult figurehead, however. It's nothing personal against Feynman in particular, but about the hero worship he represents. During high school or college, many aspiring physicists latch onto Feynman or Einstein or Hawking as representing all they hope to become. The problem is, the vast majority of us are just not that smart. Oh sure, we're plenty clever, and are whizzes at figuring out the tip when the check comes due, but we're not Feynman-Einstein-Hawking smart. We go through a phase where we hope that we are, and then reality sets in, and we either (1) deal, (2) spend the rest of our career trying to hide the fact that we're not, or (3) drop out. It's always bugged the crap out of me that physicists' worship of genius conveys the simultaneous message that if you're not F-E-H smart, then what good are you? In physics recommendation land, there is no more damning praise than saying someone is a "hard worker".
Poll: Which MIP solver do you use?
The recent discussions about the new Gurobi solver and its performance as compared to CPLEX ([1], [2]) as well as the discussion about using open source solvers ([3]) made me wonder about the proportion of people using a particular solver. So I decided to set up a poll and find out who is using what. There are many solvers out there… So drop me a line if you feel that another solver should be included.
MOPTA 2009 Modeling Competition
If you are interested in modeling optimization problems (and you are a grad student) you might want to consider participating in the MOPTA 2009 modeling competition. Using AIMMS and CPLEX a truck maintenance scheduling problem has to be solved:
The trucks of the transportation company "Move Efficiently" have to undergo periodic maintenance of different types ranging from changing the oil to a complete engine overhaul. The time intervals between consecutive maintenance checks of each type are pre-described based on experience and information from the truck manufacturer. The trucks become unusable if they are behind on the required maintenance. However, maintenance is expensive and trucks should not be over-maintained. The problem, therefore, is to schedule maintenance so that it minimizes costs while making sure that trucks can be used. The problem needs to be solved over a 2-year time-horizon on a weekly basis, From July 1, 2009 till June 30, 2011. There are constraints on the number of trucks that are required to be active, and capacity constraints at the single maintenance location.
After registration a copy of AIMMS and CPLEX (I suppose either a time limited or a student version) is provided. For more details see the MOPTA 2009 competition homepage.
GLPK 4.36 released / Updated GUSEK version
A new version of the GNU linear programming kit (GLPK) (one of my favorite solvers) has been released today. While not being CPLEX it is probably one of the best freely available solvers out there and it comes with its own modeling language GMPL which is very similar to AMPL. GLPK comes with an interesting feature: It has an exact simplex algorithm. The new version includes new API functions for networks and flows and can read flow data in DIMACS format:
In this release:
The following new API routines were added to the package:
glp_mincost_okalg find minimum-cost flow with out-of-kilter
glp_maxflow_ffalg find maximal flow with Ford-Fulkerson
For detailed description of these new routines and related data
structures see chapter "Graph and Network API Routines" in the
reference manual included in the distribution.
The following new command-line options were added to the solver
–mincost read min-cost flow data in DIMACS format
–maxflow read maximum flow data in DIMACS format
Also GUSEK, a freely available GLPK IDE for Windows has been updated as well to include the new GLPK 4.36 version. GUSEK is pretty decent and if you are using Windows and you want to use GLPK you should definitely give it a closer look. Unfortunately, it is available for Windows only – maybe there will be a version for Macs or Linux soon? As GUSEK is based on open source it might be rather easy to do I suppose? There is also an IEOR Tools interview available with Luiz Bettoni, the developer of GUSEK.
UPDATE (17.02.2009): Great tutorials on how to use GLPK are available as well!

Not bad. You can catch his senior clips here from hudl. What first jumps out at you is his size. He's a big man running around out there (listed anywhere from 6'2-6'4, and I'd lean closer to 6'4). But he also moves pretty well, and does an excellent job getting behind opposing defenses.
And these aren't scrub defenses. This is south Florida, Miami area competition, and those guys have been known to take their high school football very serious. He's playing against lots of speed, and in an offense that is well versed in the spread and throwing the football. And it's that fact that makes me think Johnson could easily play right away this coming fall.
His size makes him a factor around the red zone and going long, as does his speed. He's a good route runner and can read opposing coverages well from the looks of it. He's got good hands, and is very difficult to bring down in the open field (that's size thing again vs. smaller DBs). And at the end of his hudl clips, you see him more than willing to peel back for blocks after a play breaks down. As we've all seen with Mark Richt, being a playmaker helps you see the field, but blocking well helps you see a lot more of it. And if Johnson already has blocking down, that should only accelerate his ability to see action.
Our WR depth chart isn't in dire need, but the opportunity to provide depth will be there for Johnson, Johnson, and Williams. And this Johnson brings something the other two just can't match with his sheer size. Combine that with a roster that looks very conducive to running a lot of 3 and 4 WR looks, and we can expect a deep rotation with likely 2 of the 3 freshman, if not all 3, seeing the field come fall. Plus with that size, speed, and a willingness to hit somebody, our south Florida product should at least be able to contribute on coverage units for special teams.

An Upper Macungie Township man is suspected of stealing 60 storm sewer grates across the city of Bethlehem over a period of more than two weeks.
Anthony Guy Devicaris, 25, of 292 Water Lilly Court, was charged with 60 counts of recklessly endangering another person and one felony count each of theft and receiving stolen property following his arrest on Thursday.
Devicaris's girlfriend told Bethlehem police detectives that he was stealing the grates to support his and her heroin addiction, according to court records.
The thefts occurred between Nov. 13 and Thursday, the arrest affidavit says. The girlfriend, Kaitlyn Culver, told detectives that she was with Devicaris on at least five separate occasions when he would steal the grates and then sell them to scrap metal yards around the Lehigh Valley.
Police recovered seven of those grates from the Blinderman & Son scrap metal business in Hellertown on Tuesday, court papers say.
Blinderman paid Devicaris $64.75 for the grates on Nov. 23, according to records the business turned over to police. Devicaris was also captured on business video surveillance camera footage, the arrest warrant says.
The affidavit said the thefts "opened huge holes in the streets, allowing for pedestrians and vehicles to fall into, creating a risk of serious injuries to human beings."
The paperwork also noted that each of the 100-pound sewer grates had a value of $250, meaning the total loss to the city is $15,000, "and several thousand dollars in replacement labor cost."
The Bethlehem Police Department put out a public call to help find the thief or thieves on Nov. 21, then reporting on its blog that 20 of the grates had been stolen. About 40 more of the grates had been stolen or discovered stolen since that time.
In an updated blog post on Thursday, police included a map that showed where all the grates had been stolen. Many corners of the city had been hit, including streets in both Northampton and Lehigh counties.
The District Attorney's offices in both counties gave Bethlehem police permission to consolidate the charges against Devicaris in Northampton County Court.
Devicaris was arraigned before District Judge Nancy Matos-Gonzalez and committed to Northampton County Prison after failing to post $35,000 bail.

For this weekend's Friday Night Fights, Frankie Figueroa has pulled out of his fight against Ruslan Provodnikov. Instead, the Siberian will be facing the drunken master, Emmanuel Augustus. Augustus is well past his best at this point, losing by split decision to Figueroa and by knockout to Oyewale Omotoso in his last two fights. Still, a change from the deathly boring "Gato" to a natural born entertainer is always a welcome change. In the main event, Ji Hoon Kim will face Ameth Diaz.

It's a story that made national headlines. One day a woman was seen on an episode of The People's Court, the next day she vanished without a trace.
Michelle Parker was last seen November 17, 2011, when she dropped her twins off at father and prime suspect Dale Smith's house.
"They're 3-and-a-half years old, and in one day, they lost me, their Pop Pop, their aunts and uncles, their brother, their mother," said Parker's mother, Yvonne Stewart. "They lost everything just like that."
What some people don't realize is that Michelle and her toddler twins had lived with the children's grandparents prior to Orlando woman's disappearance. Now, Smith Jr has custody, and though the Stewarts have a written agreement with him, Smith ultimately has control.
Stewart is pushing for legislation that would give grandparents clear rights to their grandchildren, at the least, the legal right to petition the court for visitation.
Rep. Darryl Rouson, D-St. Petersburg, filed Florida House Bill 19 in Tallahassee. It will go through the legislative process.
"Grandparents need to be heard by a judge. We need the right to go to a court and ask a judge to hear our case, so he can decide if I'll be able to visit my grandchildren," said Steward. "I don't have the right to petition. That's what we want. We just want the right to be heard."

Burlington, Vermont - February 15, 2011
Humane societies across our region are overrun with cats in need of loving homes.
Vaunne Alden of North Country Animal League says the Morrisville shelter is at full capacity for cats, and their waiting list keeps growing by the day. Alden says spaying or neutering a cat is something that can help prevent this problem, but unfortunately it's not something many cat owners choose to do. It's shocking how many new cats can come from a single unspayed female and non-neutered male.
Watch the video to learn more about the current cat situation and meet some adorable felines looking for forever homes.

MACON, Ga. (AP) - The reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in a fatal dogfight at a middle Georgia animal shelter has grown to $13,000.
The Humane Society of the United States announced Tuesday that it would offer $5,000 for information leading to the person who broke into the shelter last week.
Macon police spokeswoman Jami Gaudet says the suspect let about 40 dogs out of their cages overnight and three were killed. Gaudet says investigators believe the dogs killed each other, and officials are unsure of the motive behind the break in.
The Telegraph of Macon (http://bit.ly/17HqZSh ) reported that Macon Regional CrimeStoppers is also offering $8,000 for information on the suspect.
Gaudet says police are pursuing several leads in the case and are conducting interviews.

Viviscal hair products promote new, healthy hair for both women and men. Because the aging process can cause hair to thin and become dry and brittle, Viviscal vitamins and supplements incorporate anti-aging properties into the Viviscal hair products. These nutrients nourish a healthy scalp which encourages growth. Viviscal offers the opportunity to have thicker, more luxurious hair without synthetic implants, surgery or drugs.
Viviscal Hair GrowthSupplements are scientifically proven to nourish thinning hair and promote healthy hair growth from within the body. Recognizing the need to encourage internal hair growth while enhancing existing hair, Viviscal Hair Growth Supplements offer superior marine-based ingredients to promote thicker, healthier hair from the inside out. Only Viviscal Hair Growth Supplements contain the exclusive marine complex AminoMar. These marine extracts developed in Scandinavia are derived from isolated, key proteins from marine plants to produce clinically proven results for maintaining and growing new hair. AminoMar is exclusive to and only available from Viviscal vitamins and supplements. Other natural ingredients in Viviscal Hair Growth products include vitamin C, Niacin, Iron, Zinc, and millet seed.
As seen on The View with Barbara Walters, Viviscal hair loss products were highly touted as an effective hair growth and hair retention solution showing before and after photos of a person who experienced hair growth after using Viviscal hair products. Recently highlighted in Prevention Magazine, a physician in the article discussed the results of the study where Viviscal Hair Growth products slowed the rate of hair loss and increased hair growth. Remarking upon its effectiveness, Viviscal Hair Growth products were also recommended by a New York dermatologist in the May 2012 issue of Allure Magazine.
"On the inside, Viviscal vitamins and supplements promote hair growth while offering men and women a safe, 100% drug free, dietary supplement," remarked Raichel Goodyear, Esthetician at DrSkinSpa.com. "On the outside, Viviscal Shampoo and Viviscal Conditioner leave hair voluminous and soft and healthy looking. And both the Viviscal Shampoo and the Viviscal Conditioner are suitable for all hair types."
Viviscal Hair Growth products offer customers the scientific reasons for hair loss. By studying the phases of hair growth, Viviscal hair researchers discovered which phase offered optimal growth and when scalp health is realized. Viviscal shampoo and Viviscal conditioner nourish the scalp while exfoliating dead skin cells to prepare it for new growth and keep hair strong and healthy.
I am very happy with this seller and will look for them for future purchases. My lip butter arrived earlier than I expected and I was very happy for that. My item was in perfect condition and I couldn't wait to try it. I would recommend this seller to family and friends.

The National Weather Service plans to send a team of meteorologists to Tolland County on Thursday to investigate reports of tornado during an early evening storm.
Rebecca Gould, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's office in Taunton, Mass., said strong rain storms moving through Tolland and Windham counties at about 5:30 p.m. had prompted tornado warnings in both counties.
There were reports of damage, supported by pictures and videos of downed trees and power lines, in Tolland County, she said, mostly centered in the towns of Coventry and Mansfield in the vicinity of the University of Connecticut.
While the reports from local officials strongly suggest a tornado, Gould said, the damage survey will determine wind patterns that caused the damage and rule out things like a microburst. Gould said the team will meet with local officials and likely be directed to damaged areas by local fire departments.
A final determination is not likely to come before Thursday evening.

Best of the Box: Postcards!
My background is in art and design, so while my co-workers love to learn all about the materials and the history behind them, my favorite part is admiring the design.
There are so many treasures in our collection. My hope is to regularly wander through our stacks, grab a random box off the shelves and flip through the contents until I find something aesthetically pleasing.
On my first try, I came across a box filled with scrapbooks containing a collection of stickers, invitations and greeting cards that date back to the 1850s. It was so full of great designs, it was hard to pick just one item to digitize!
You can view the catalog record for this collection here.
Thank you Kinsey, for sharing items from the vast collection. I hope this will be a regular addition to the site.

Russell Wilson and the Badgers took a leisurely stroll through another overwhelmed Big Ten team Saturday, cruising to a 59-7 shellacking of Indiana to lock up bowl eligiblity. (We know you were worried about that.)
Wilson was 12-of-17 for 166 yards and a touchdown passing. He also ran for 42 yards and caught a 25-yard touchdown reception. But for the most part, the Badgers were content to hammer away at Indiana with a ground game that rolled up 331 yards on 42 carries.
The Hoosiers also got most of their yardage on the ground, though not necessarily by choice; their quarterbacks were a combined 8-of-20 for 64 yards and two touchdowns. Stephen Houston was Indiana's leader on the ground, carrying it 19 times for 135 yards and the Hoosier's sole touchdown. And whenever the word "sole touchdown" appears in an item about Wisconsin, it's pretty easy to guess which way the game went.

June 9 review of MVHS Solar Carport
Original post made by [removed] on May 30, 2011
Alamo region neighborhoods are preparing for discussion of the solar power generation facility to be built in Alamo at Monte Vista High School. On June 9, 2011, the Alamo Improvement Association (AIA) board meeting at Creekside Church should have the current AIA board and AIA board candidates in attendance to invite visual review and discussion of such massive solar power generation stations that are marketed as "solar carports" Web Link.
Monte Vista's parking lot in Alamo sits in basin below the surrounding neighborhoods. Neighbors will be looking down on SRVUSD's Solar Power Generation facility and such a view may be reviewed as "solar project photo examples" at Web Link. AS your readers review the examples it should be realized that SRVUSD and Sunpower Corporation have not disclosed a final design or the height of the structure that requires clearance for safety vehicles (fire engines).
The purpose of the AIA meeting is to have disclosure of the MVHS solar power generation facility plans as actual drawings, renderings, and site plans so neighbors of MVHS can have full knowledge of the visual impact prior to start of construction. SRVUSD board has been requested to present their plans at the AIA board meeting with a copy of that request to Assembly Member Joan Buchanan. It is the expressed desire of Alamo region neighborhoods to have the SRVUSD board present the full visual impact of the solar power generation facility. Further, neighborhoods will rely on Assembly Member Buchanan to represent MVHS neighbors to the assembly committee that oversees SRVUSD facilities development.
For those who have not seen a solar carport with emergence vehicle access height, please visit the 1700 block of Oak Park Blvd, Pleasant Hill CA.

Looks great! The best document is the booard presentation from Oct 2010, Web Link which has renderings of the different locations. You will need a recent Powerpoint or OpenOffice with the powerpoint 2007 XML filter to view. (It would have been nice if someone had saved it as a PDF, hint, hint.)
The arrays look like oversized white trellises or reasonable proportion as compared to acres of monolithic panel. The visual breakup is enabled by the use of trackers.

Hal...get over it...Tri Valley corridor neighborhood groups have assembled, spoken, and wish you will have your medication sought, adjusted, or simply taken, whatever the case may be. Volunteer somewhere, anywhere...I know you yearn to be useful and listened to, but it is not in this forum.

Sun to Energy is a total waste...Now, Waste Conversion to Energy is the future.
Constructing a solar power generation facility at MVHS is a grave mistake.
And jrm, why are you jumping on Hal?
Take a look at the wed link regarding solar carports...it's all marketing to the masses that don't have a clue.
A total waste of taxpayers money...but nothing new. I'm sure Buchanan will put on her GREEN dress and screw the taxpayers.
Thanks for listening, Julia from Alamo

This starts just between Over the Hill and Emerald City...up dihedral for a stem fest to a fun traverse left and up the steep face to a cool pair of cracks in a steep 25' wall to a large belay ledge (be careful of loose rocks). Continue on with the 2nd pitch finger crack of Over the Hill (5.9) or rap 100' from tree and down climb a little to the ground (60 meter rope) or continue up the somewhat tricky 2nd pitch in the obvious dihedral.
Standard rack...tree anchor or gear under awesome finger crack (2nd pitch of Over the Hill) for a recommended finish.

Fotheringhay is a picturesque, medieval village that is worth a visit. It is most noted for being where Mary, Queen of Scots, was tried and beheaded in 1587, her body lay there for some months before its burial at Peterborough Cathedral and then its final burial in Westminster Abbey. It is also the site of Fotheringhay Castle which was razed in 1627. Although it is often said that James I destroyed the castle because his mother was killed there, the facts are rather more prosaic; it fell into such disrepair that it had to be pulled down, and the stones were all taken to be used in other buildings. Local legend has it that the staircase from the Castle is now in the Talbot Hotel in Oundle and it is believed that the imprint of a crown, on the dark polished wood of a stair balustrade was made by the ring on Mary's finger as she gripped the rail for support on her way to the block.
There is nothing left of the castle today other than the motte on which it was built that provides excellent views of the River Nene. The Nene Way long distance footpath runs through the village.
