Trufant is active Sunday versus Carolina||||||| He returned for limited participation Friday and will be a game-time decision Sunday.
The Seattle Seahawks have released cornerback Marcus Trufant, who missed most of last season with a back injury. General manager John Schneider says the team decided to release Trufant on Wednesday to give him an opportunity to "explore the full window of unrestricted free agency."||||||| Drafted by Seattle with the 11th overall pick in 2003, Trufant started all but one of the 124 regular-season games he played with the Seahawks. He also started all nine postseason games he played with the team. He finished his career with Seattle with 21 interceptions - returning two for touchdowns. Trufant was voted to the Pro Bowl after recording a career-high seven interceptions during the 2007 season.
Seattle placed Trufant on injured reserve with a back injury that will end his season.||||||| Trufant was injured in Seattle's Week 4 loss to Atlanta. Coach Pete Carroll said Trufant suffered a bruised sacrum - a triangular bone at the base of the spine - and Trufant was so sore he was unable to bend over and tie his shoes before Seattle's win at the New York Giants in Week 5. Trufant was replaced in the lineup against the Giants by second-year cornerback Walter Thurmond. Trufant is the longest-tenured Seahawk, having spent all his nine NFL seasons in Seattle.
Trufant and tight end John Carlson are returning from Chicago after both suffered concussions in Sunday's NFC divisional playoff loss to the Bears.||||||| A team spokesman said Monday the pair had been released from the hospital where they were held overnight for observation and were returning to Seattle. Trufant was injured in the second half making a tackle on Bears tight end Kellen Davis in the third quarter. His head appeared to collide with Davis' knee.

I'm taking the Praxis II General Science exam later this morning, so I bought a study guide (because of the draconian provisions of the DCMA I'm mentioning neither the title nor the publisher)
One of the questions was, to paraphrase, "why are astronauts weightless?" The correct answer was, again paraphrasing, "because they're so far from Earth." <rude noise>
I saw this when I was working through their sample test, jumped back in my chair and burst out "...the ....." which made the other people in the room (faculty lunch room; I was substituting) take notice.
Needless to say, when I get back from the test, I'll be sending them a less than complimentary note.

VANCOUVER (Reuters) - A 32-year-old Canadian woman who had
been declared brain dead in December and kept on life support
for six weeks died on Sunday soon after giving birth to a baby
Robyn Benson was just 22 weeks pregnant when she collapsed
from a cerebral hemorrhage and was declared brain dead. Doctors
in Victoria, British Columbia, kept her alive at her husband's
request so that their unborn baby would have a better chance of
"It is with a heavy heart but also with extreme proudness
that I am posting this update," Dylan Benson wrote on his
personal blog on Monday. "On Saturday evening, my beautiful and
amazing son, Iver Cohen Benson, was born. Iver is healthy and is
the cutest and most precious person I have ever met."
But with the birth of baby Iver, Benson had to say goodbye
to his wife of just seven months, who died on Sunday after being
taken off life support.
"I miss Robyn more than words can explain. I could not be
more impressed with her strength, and I am so lucky to have
known her," he wrote. "She will live on forever within Iver, and
in my heart."
Iver, born after just 28 weeks in the womb, weighed 2
pounds, 13 ounces, the Vancouver Sun reported. A full-term
pregnancy is 39 or 40 weeks, according to the American College
of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
"I don't think I have the right words to describe it,"
Benson told the newspaper in an interview late on Monday. "It's
the best and definitely the worst thing to ever happen to me in
my life at the same time."
Benson described his son as healthy, though noted the baby
faces a "bumpy ride" as he continues to develop in a Victoria
hospital. A photograph posted on Benson's blog shows the
32-year-old information technology worker in the hospital
cuddling his tiny son, who is attached to wires and tubes.
The story follows a controversial case in Texas, where
Marlise Munoz, a pregnant brain-dead woman, was removed from
life support at her husband's request last month after a lengthy
court battle. Her husband said Munoz had told him she did not
want to be kept on life support.
The Texas hospital had fought to keep Munoz on life support
in a case that sparked fierce debate over the rights of a fetus
versus the right to die.
The story of Robyn Benson and her unborn son gripped people
across Canada and around the world, with donations to a
fundraising site set up for baby Iver raising more than
C$150,000 ($135,800) as of Tuesday morning.
The amount has far exceeded the C$36,000 goal set by Benson,
who had hoped to raise funds for bills, baby supplies and to
allow him to spend more time at home with his new son after the
"Thank you to each and every one of you for your love, your
kind words, and your support during this incredibly difficult
time," Benson wrote on his blog and fundraising site.

Ferris Bueller, Honda star of early Super Bowl ads
Several Super Bowl ad spots have hit the internet a little early, which is great news, because now it means we don't actually have to watch this weekend's game (kidding).
The most notable, perhaps, is a Honda commercial starring Matthew Broderick as a grown-up movie star version of his iconic character, Ferris Bueller. Broderick plays hooky and then drives around town in his CR-V, getting into all sorts of Bueller-inspired mischief. Not quite the Ferris Bueller return we've been longing for, but it's a start.
Cadillac showcases the new ATS sedan in its Super Bowl. The automaker promises the car will give the BMW 3 Series a run for its money and tells skeptics to "go to Green Hell." (The Nürburgring's nickname is "The Green Hell.")
Hyundai channels "Rocky" theme song "Gonna Fly Now" with 200 real employees who took voice lessons for the commercial. Who knew car salesmen and auto mechanics humming together could be so inspiring?

Trip Planner
Although Burgess' go-to plug is the venerable Gibbs Danny Deep Diver, which has an 8-inch body and is some 12 inches overall, he's also had great luck with some handmade creations crafted by Gary Soldati of West Stockbridge, Massachusetts, who formed a company called Big Water Lures back in 2006. "As a surf-caster, I fished eels for years, then started using plugs," says Soldati. "I wanted bigger plugs than most that were on the market, so I figured I'd have to make them myself."
Soldati's plugs are true works of art, with a glasslike finish second to none, and he custom-makes all his stainless-steel lips. Prices, which range from $30 to $45, reflect the amount of time it takes to handcraft each lure. "Burgess caught over 60 big bass in two consecutive nights on an 8-inch Giant Pike in 2010," says Soldati.
The Troller, with a 10-inch body and a weight of 712 ounces, comes in five colors and is ideal for night trolling, as it runs 15 feet deep. The super-long Jointed Eel, with an 11-inch body, looks to be another hot bat in the lineup.
For complete information on Big Water lures, check out www.bigwaterlures.com. For information on Stan Gibbs' Danny plugs and other models, visit www.stangibbslures.com.
Rods: 6-foot medium-action trolling rods.
Reels: 4/0-size level-wind, star-drag or lever-drag.
Lines: 50-pound mono.
Leaders: No leader. Attach the lure directly to the line with a large snap swivel.
Lures: Gibbs Danny Deep Diver 1 and Goo-Goo Eyes Big Daddy 2; Big Water Lures Troller Bunker 3, Giant Pikie in Squid 4 and Jointed Eel 5.
What: Season-long striped bass fishing.
When: Mid-May through mid-October.
Where: Boston Harbor, Massachusetts.
Who: Boston Harbor has a number of launch ramps, with distances to the rips ranging from a mile or two to 10 or more, depending on point of embarkation.

One more thing: With the threat of the feds cracking down on greenhouse gas emissions, at least some datacenter operators are preparing for carbon regulations, which certainly falls under the umbrella of "be concerned about green." I wouldn't be surprised if lots of companies out there haven't been paying attention to what's happening in Copenhagen or in D.C., despite the fact that we're seeing clear signs that carbon regs are on the horizon and will have companies scrambling to reduce energy consumption, both to shrink their carbon footprints and to reduce the sting of potentially higher energy prices.
Given that Dell aspires to be the greenest tech company on the planet and that it is grooming products to be more environmentally friendly, it presumably grasps the various benefits of green. Given that Dell's customers do (or should) care about cutting costs, boosting efficiency, and preparing for carbon regs, I can only hope the company's reps do a better job explaining that green-tech implementations such as AIM can help achieve those aforementioned objectives.
Yes, there's a risk of turning off customers by overhyping the benefits of green, but I firmly believe that the benefits of green are clear and measurable in terms of money and GHG emissions. Dell has an opportunity here to educate customers and advance its own green objectives by illustrating the very clear connections between "green," "cost savings," and "efficiency," and helping datacenter operators understand that they should, indeed, be concerned with green.
This story, "Dell must help customers realize they do care about green," was originally published at InfoWorld.com. Follow the latest developments in green IT at InfoWorld.com.

Burnley's free school site revealed
Updated 10:50am Saturday 15th February 2014 in News By Peter Magill, Chief reporter
THE site of Burnley's controversial first free school has been revealed.
Backers have chosen the former Habergham High School, in Byron Street, as the preferred site for the 'Christian ethos' school.
The buildings were vacated as part of the £250million Building Schools for the Future programme.
But the Burnley High School plan has been branded 'disastrous' by a leading union chief.
The location was announced after the Life Church Burnley, Community Solutions Lancashire and the Chapel Street Schools Trust held a meeting with 100 parents.
A statutory process is now taking place between Lancashire County Council and the Department for Education over the site.
If given the go ahead, it would open in September, at a cost of £5million, with 90 Year Seven places available, but will ultimately see approximately 700 puipls including 200 sixth formers.
Executive principal for the proposed school, Elizabeth Haddock, said parents were very pleased with the choice of site.
She said: "There is lots of outdoor space including courts for games and grass pitches. The classrooms are large and airy with plenty of natural light.
"Every student will have a staff member to coach them and the school is deliberately smaller than many secondary schools to ensure an excellent education individually tailored to each student."
However opinions were divided over the impact of education in the town.
Burnley MP Gordon Birtwistle said he backed the plan and hoped it would keep children studying locally.
He said: "I support the plan for a new high school and I'm happy for it to go ahead. As well as bringing something to our educational system it will retain the playing fields and facilities at this site which is a delight to the residents in that area.
"Currently 600 young people leave Burnley every day to be educated somewhere else and that has to stop. Hopefully this new school will be a draw for those young people travelling elsewhere."
But faith groups, teachers and also representatives of major teaching unions, have joined with Burnley Council to oppose the plan.
Borough and county councillor Marcus Johnstone, who was schools' cabinet member during the BSF process, has previously voiced concerns about the development.
NUT representative for Lancashire, Simon Jones, said the school would have 'disastrous effects'.
He said: "The impact on other schools is something that cannot be avoided and has been seen elsewhere.
"If the site needs a use or more places are needed it is for the authority to oversee. In this time of financial constraints it is just wasteful to hand over funds to people outside the educational system for these projects."
Last year The Lancashire Telegraph revealed how there were still hundreds of empty desks in Burnley's high schools – with Hameldon Community College less than half full.

---- — PERU — Peru Central School District officials are pleased that district voters approved bus purchases.
The proposition, which asked for permission to purchase three standard 65-passenger buses at an estimated maximum cost of $110,000 each, with the total not to exceed $330,000, passed with 56 percent voter approval.
A total of 106 individuals voted in favor of the proposition, while 83 voted against it. These numbers reflect votes cast both in person and via absentee ballot.
"It's a very good thing," Peru Central Superintendent Dr. Patrick Brimstein said of residents' decision to approve the purchase.
While taxpayers will pay for 15 percent of the cost of the buses, the remaining 85 percent will be covered by state aid.
Buses, like any other vehicle, Brimstein noted, have a life span; at some point, it becomes more costly to maintain an older bus than to purchase a new one.
The three new buses, which will represent about 10 percent of the district's fleet, will allow Peru Central to phase out three of its oldest buses, ensuring the fleet remains healthy, he said.
Up until now, according to Brimstein, the district's buses have had an average lifespan of 14 years. However, the State Department of Transportation recommends that each bus in a fleet be rotated out every 10 years.
If Peru Central is able to purchase three new buses every year, he noted, that would bring the lifespan of the school's buses down to 11 years, closer to the department's recommendation.
"What we're trying to do here is put the bus rotation on a fixed schedule," Brimstein said.
The superintendent added that the district will also look at consolidating bus runs, as well as any other opportunities that would allow for Peru Central to maximize its resources.
"We are committed to doing that with our community and with all of our constituency groups," he said.
It will likely be a few months before the new vehicles are actually purchased, as the district will first hunt around for the best prices.
"If we can buy them under ($330,000), we will," Brimstein said.

Eden Valley-Watkins Schools
Building Project:
Progress on our secondary construction project continues as expected. All of the demolition and renovations to infrastructure have been completed in the Performing Arts area. The electricians are hanging the lights, painting the covers and inserting a red lens, mounting electrical and media outlets, and plan to finish their phase by the end of the week. Painting has been completed on the walls and ceiling, and the doors will be completed in the next day or two. We anxiously await the installation of the flooring and final completion of this part of our project.
A final inspection and approval of the burnished block walls of Brook's Street Lobby has been completed, and the walls will be sealed very soon. Painting is taking place in the offices, reception area, nursing, and conference room. We have a few remaining office windows to install and they will be shipped at the end of the week. The mechanical contractors continue their progress with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to the offices, lobby, and gymnasium.
Please stop in for a visit with your questions and comments, and be sure to exercise caution when you're in the proximity of the construction zone.
A committee of Eden Valley-Watkins faculty, students, parents, and community members has been assembled to take a closer look at the use of technology within the district. Specifically, they are examining the types of tools being employed within the classroom and making recommendations on the direction our school system should proceed in regards to technology for the future.
In order to assist this work, input is being solicited from parents to provide information not only on the types of tools presently being utilized at home, but share recommendations on technology which should be considered for implementation with students. To provide feedback, parents are asked to complete a short survey at the following site: http://goo.gl/1ZQp0
Questions pertaining to the survey or process may be directed to either Bruce Kiehn, principal, or Denise DeJuliannie, technology support assistant, at your convenience. We thank you in advance for your participation in this important work. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

|Celebrating 15 Years of Excellence in Bonsai (1999-2014)
BGLM Celebrates its 15th Anniversary this year. Thanks to all those volunteers and contributors who make it possible to operate the garden and continue to make it thrive.
BGLM Joins California Association of Museums (CAM)
We are now a proud member of this wonderful organization.Stay tuned for more information on what that means for us. Our newly printed brochure now says "Bonsai Garden at Lake Merritt - A World-famous Bonsai Museum".
How do you describe the Bonsai Garden at Lake Merritt (BFLM) to someone who has not visited there? Perhaps you will say that it is LIKE a bonsai museum. Now you can say it IS a bonsai museum. Thanks to the help of Dr. John Nackley, a regular volunteer, we have recently joined the California Association of Museums (CAM). Not only does this make it easier to explain to others what the BGLM is, it also helps us secure more funding and provides us with assistance in formalizing the preservation of our collection and the history of our bonsai.
Spring in the Garden
It is already turning into spring time at the garden. Be sure to drop by and see the many trees that are beginning to bloom and form fragil new leaves.
Upcoming Events:
Earth Day, April 26, 2014
Starbucks employees volunteer for
the Gardens.
Oakland Farmers Market Table, June 21, 2014
BGLM will have a presence at the Farmers Market to spread the word that we are in Oakland and is a great place to visit regually.
A view of our front gate take this year in the late afternoon sun. Enjoy the play of light and shadow in the garden.
New articles will soon be posted. Be sure to check in and see what is happening at the garden.
This is the 15th anniversary year of the BGLM for it was in 1999 that then Oakland Mayor, and now Governor, Jerry Brown helped open the Garden. Although there is little hope of getting Jerry to return for our anniversary celebration, we will nonetheless have a very exciting celebration during this year's "Autumn Lights Festival hosted by the Friends of the Garden at Lake Merritt". If you have not seen the Garden and the bonsai lit for nighttime viewing, you are in for a real treat. Save the dates of Friday and Saturday, October 17-18 for a celebration of both the trees and the forest of BGLM's 15th anniversary.

Ruth Eddy and Christopher Allen, seniors in the Department of Radio-TV at the University of Montana, recently were named among the top five winners in the nation for the radio category of the prestigious Hearst Journalism Awards.
Funded by the William Randolph Hearst Foundation, the contest provides cash awards in several media categories to the top five students and their colleges.
Eddy, who placed third, and Allen, who placed fifth, also received an automatic berth to the final competition, where more prize money will be awarded. In June 2014, they will receive an expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C, where they will have to quickly create radio stories for consideration.
Eddy, originally of Oak Park, Ill., is the news director for KBGA 89.9, UM's student-run station. Allen, who is from Missoula, is a reporter there. They both file for the weekly radio magazine show Eddy helped create last year, "Word of Mouth." The stories they entered for the Hearst competition aired on that show. They can all be heard at UM Journalism's SoundCloud stream, https://soundcloud.com/um-journalism.
Last year, Jessica Murri placed first nationally in the Hearst radio competition. She went on to place second overall at the finals in San Francisco and was awarded $4,000. Her story about predictions gone wrong and how those affect kite-surfing also won best news coverage and an additional $1,000. That story is online at http://bit.ly/1fM2vgC.
Another recent grad, Samuel Wilson, also competed at the finals in San Francisco and brought home gold. Wilson won the multimedia category with his story about the "real" San Francisco. He filmed and told the story of a tour guide, on the bus and at home. He was awarded $5,000 and the Hearst medal. His story is online at http://bit.ly/1fskc3Y.

Jets WR Braylon Edwards is expected to rejoin his team for meetings Tuesday after appearing in a Cleveland court earlier in the day.
Edwards pleaded no contest in Cleveland Municipal Court to charges of aggravated disorderly conduct and was placed on probation. The charges stemmed from an October incident in front of a Cleveland nightclub, when Edwards punched a man in the face. He was traded from the Browns to the Jets two days after the scuffle.
The fifth-year veteran received a suspended 180-day jail sentence and was fined $1,000.

Well, this is it.
It's just 3 DAYS until my wedding. Three. As in, not tomorrow, and not the next day, but the day after that. Yup, that day. In three days.
I'm in a constant state of: "What should I be doing?? Can I make a list for something?? There's nothing more I can do…should I do something??" Isn't my brain fun? You're counting your lucky stars you don't live in my mind right now. You should be.
As my fiance lays on the couch, dying of food poisoning and I run around packing and making lists (no joke…he's sick…), I'm getting so so excited. I'm sure he would be too if he weren't doubled-over at the moment.
I'm sure there will be many little "surprises" over the next few days with things going wrong, people forgetting where to be, stuff not arriving…whatever. No breakfast at the hotel? Ok…that's weird…but I'll bring muffins! At least I got that problem tackled!
[I find it extremely bizarre that the nicer the hotel, the less they offer you. Yup, no breakfast in the morning because we wanted to stay in a nicer hotel for our wedding night. So...we get to wake up and eat leftover cake? I guess that's not so bad, but really, they couldn't swing for some oatmeal packets and a few waffle irons at this "nice" hotel? Not offering me breakfast is not so nice in my book...]
I'm packing these muffins. I'm really excited about them too and trying not to eat them all at this very moment. They're peanut butter and banana, the dynamic duo extraordinaire! And because you swirl in some of the sugar at the end of the mixing process, you get that crispy sugary yumminess that we all love about a good muffin, without adding extra sugar!
I made my Peanut Butter Banana Muffins gluten-free, but you can use whole wheat flour or whatever you prefer. These would also be good with some mini chocolate chips. Actually, I highly recommend that. But for you purists out there, these are perfection. Especially if you eat them warm with a bit more peanut butter slathered on top.
Everything should be slathered in peanut butter.
- 1/3 cup sugar (I used Truvia baking blend), divided
- 1 Tbs. honey
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 medium over-ripe banana, mashed
- 1 egg white
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ cup gluten-free flour blend (or your preferred flour)
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ¼ tsp. salt
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray your muffin tin with nonstick spray (or line with muffin liners).
- In a mixing bowl, combine half of your sugar, the honey, peanut butter, and mashed banana. Stir really well with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until combined.
- Then, add the egg white and vanilla and stir.
- Next, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir until completely mixed together.
- Finally, add the rest of your sugar and give the batter 1 or 2 big stirs to only slightly mix in the sugar.
- Use a ¼-cup measuring cup to scoop the batter into the muffin tins. Distribute any remaining batter evenly amongst the muffins. [Optional: at this point you can sprinkle the tops with a bit of raw sugar if you'd like]
- Bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and a test stick comes out clean. Turn the muffins out onto a wire cooling rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

LONGMONT- The site of a tragedy turned into the site of a life celebrated, as family and friends gathered for a vigil, to remember a man who died in a fiery accident on Wednesday in Longmont.
Longmont Police said 34-year-old Carlos Bustillos may have had a medical issue while driving his pickup truck. He crashed into an unoccupied building, with his two children inside the vehicle. They were unable to save him before a fire erupted.
More than 80 people gathered Thursday evening at the vigil to remember a man they say was a family man and a hard worker, who was taken too soon.
"He definitely had a big heart," said Adam Olivo, who is married to Bustillos' cousin.
The vigil for Bustillos tells one story of a person who, by all accounts here, genuinely loved people and was loved in return, by both his immediate family and his extended one - many of whom showed up at the vigil.
"[He was] very family oriented," said Bernadette Martinez, his cousin. "He was there with the kids; he was there for everybody."
Bustillos' life was cut short, with his two children unable to get their father nor the family dog out of the pickup truck before a fire broke out, consuming the vehicle and part of the building. Family members said it has been a very tough 24 hours for his children.
"Definitely they have a lot of support, that's the good thing," Olivo said. "We'll just continue to surround them with a lot of love and strength."
They also are drawing on that love and strength for each other, as they struggle with the reality that their loved one is gone, but try to remember him for the man he was.
"He was just a fun-loving guy and full of life and always there to help anybody that needed the help," Martinez said.
"I just want people to remember he was an awesome guy who impacted people's lives and people loved him and he loved people," Olivo said.
The coroner's office said they are still looking into what exactly led to Bustillos' death.

Ray Allen's ankle injury will officially keep him out of the first game of the Celtics' postseason. The news, tweeted by Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe:
Ray Allen is out according to Doc Rivers #celtics
— gary washburn (@GwashNBAGlobe) April 29, 2012
Allen has missed the Celtics' last nine games with a sore right ankle. We knew he was a game-time decision, and news from Doc Rivers had made it seem as if the chance Allen would take the court tonight was steadily decreasing as the week has gone on, but now it's official.
This obviously isn't good news for the Celtics, but it isn't the worst news. After all, in Allen's absence, Boston went 6-3 -- not to mention an earlier five-game winning streak with Allen sidelined. The Celtics have found a surprise in Avery Bradley, who was actually starting over Allen of late. He's scored over 20 points three times since Allen's injury, including a five-of-six performance from three-point range against New York.
It's unclear whether Allen will be healthy as the series goes on, but we can assume he will remain a game-time decision in upcoming games.

With little fanfare, Apple announced the demise of its Xserve line of 1U rack-mount servers back in January. You can't really blame it -- sales were tiny and Apple never really marketed Xserves at all. I miss them, though, because the last generation was a line of 1U servers done the Apple way with Apple fit and finish, including an optional inboard 128GB SSD that freed up all four hot-swap disk bays in the front. Nice.
But with the Xserve gone, it's good-bye enterprise and hello more iStuff for consumers, right? Not so fast.
[ See Forget the fear: Learning to love iPads and Androids at work by InfoWorld's Galen Gruman. | Download InfoWorld's PDF guide to mobile device management. ]
All that iStuff is revolutionizing business computing, with so many executives sporting iPads, iPhones, and iWhatevers these days. In many places they've broken the CrackBerry habit completely, and BES servers that used to be extremely busy are idling forlornly, still stubbornly proxying Web traffic to an equally forlorn BlackBerry Storm wielded by an executive who has grown to hate it.
Now more than ever, Macs are popping up all over the corporate landscape. I personally know of dozens of cases where users eschew their corporate desktop in favor of their personal MacBook Pro. Naturally, this can give IT security admins fits because they don't fit into the Windows XP/7 box, but when the tide is rising, you have to rise with it. In fact, in some large companies users can get a corporate-issue Mac as easily as they can get a Dell or HP. Somewhat surprisingly, this number includes IBM, Oracle, and Citrix Systems, or so I've been told.
Then there are companies developing private apps for iOS devices to do everything from data input to shop floor monitoring. Apple has backed into the enterprise on the client side -- and made more inroads than it ever could have with pallet upon pallet of Xserves.
It makes me wonder: Are all these business clients a herd of little Trojan horses? Could Apple be preparing a play to capitalize on the traction it's already enjoying? These days, that could easily come in the form of a set of cloud services, removing the need to ship any hardware.

Come ready to fellowship with peers, spend time with Jesus, experience personal growth, and serve Twin Rocks Friends Camp with projects and cleaning that will help them prepare for the upcoming camp year.
Puyallup and Seattle with One Another Foundation: The main focus of our service would be in working with local Puyallup ministries helping with various project that benefit homeless and low income in the city. Volunteering would happen through existing organizations such as food banks, clothing banks, homeless shelter, a youth drop in center, etc. Service in Seattle and, or Tacoma is also expected. Expect to grow and learn with others in many different projects and atmospheres: some physical and some social.
Colorado Flood Relief with Forward Edge: In response to the major flooding that occurred in Colorado this last month, we will be sending a team to help families and organizations clean up towns and assist in any way, shape or form. If you have a heart for adventure and assistance, this trip is for you!

Rated 5 out of 5�by oneguy10 Great! Fast shipping on this product. Nice overall apperance July 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Middle School Mom Great Back Pack! Purchased back pack for my 13yr old son. Hard to find a backpack with sternum strap. Great Back Pack, good support. Was surprised to find it was approved by chiropractors. June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Shiloh Great pack for foreign travel. This pack has multiple pouches and compartments making it easy to organize documents, clothing, I-pad, etc. while traveling. Lightweight but durable. Very happy with it. June 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Diana in the Lou' Bought for hiking; will also use for school We purchased this pack for my son who was going on a 4 day hiking trip. The pack holds a lot, has quite a few pockets to stash and organize gear. The padded straps and back of the pack are really nice features as well. And for hiking, I'm really happy it has the chest and waist straps to secure the pack so you can hike without having to hold onto your pack. I only wish the water bottle pockets on the sides were a little taller to accommodate 20/24 oz water bottles a little easier. They do fit, but can topple out if you're running hard. My son has already asked if this can be his school backpack for the fall, so it's clear he likes it as well. Lastly, the the lifetime warranty from North Face is a real bonus, and we hope to use the pack long after school is over. May 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Shamil419 My son could not love it more! We have had Underarmour backpacks in the past and their quality has seriously depreciated. He's in high school carrying all his books and binders and loves this backpack! He said it feels so much better on his back and is easy to keep organized. A key for high school boys! April 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Jeff0016 Great Pack Great backpack. So far has been a heavy duty back pack that has been loaded down without fail. April 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Shehof Great for the light traveler Bought this for my husband who travels a lot and was looking for a durable backpack to hold his laptop. He loves it and actually has started using it for his daily use to work. March 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Sandy I am totally pleased with this product I wanted to buy a backpack because recent travel using a briefcase has such limitations. The primary one being limited use of my two hands. The Recon backpack easily stores my laptop, travel docs, and a novel or two, along with contact lens stuff if I want to take out my lenses and move to eyeglasses. Great gear! February 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by burty The laptop compartment is nice & tight. Solid but pricey product but then again, aren't all North Face products? January 15, 2014

A wildflower (or wild flower) is a flower that grows in the wild, meaning it was not intentionally seeded or planted. Yet "wildflower" meadows of a few mixed species are sold in seed packets. The term implies that the plant probably is neither a hybrid nor a selected cultivar that is in any way different from the way it appears in the wild as a native plant, even if it is growing where it would not naturally.
"Wildflower" is not an exact term. Terms like native species (naturally occurring in the area, see flora), exotic or, better, introduced species (not naturally occurring in the area), of which some are labelled invasive species (that out-compete other plants – whether native or not), imported (introduced to an area whether deliberately or accidentally) and naturalized (introduced to an area, but now considered by the public as native) are much more accurate.
In the United Kingdom, the organisation Plantlife International instituted in 2002 the County Flowers scheme whereby members of the public nominated and voted for a wild flower emblem for their county. The aim was to spread awareness of the heritage of native species and about the need for conservation, as some of these species are endangered. For example, Somerset has adopted the Cheddar Pink (Dianthus gratianopolitanus), London the Rosebay Willowherb (Chamerion angustifolium) and Denbighshire/Sir Ddinbych in Wales the rare Limestone Woundwort (Stachys alpina).
Typical examples[edit]
- Adonis aestivalis - summer pheasant's-eye
- Anthemis arvensis
- Anagallis[1]
- Agrostemma githago

During 5 of the next 6 (Zuffa-run) events there will be 6 meaningful fights in the Middleweight Division including Current Strikeforce MW Champ, Former Strikeforce MW Champ, Former Bellator MW Champ and Current UFC MW Champ not to mention 10 of the 12 Fighters in these scraps are ranked in the top 15 of the division. (Rankings from Tapology.com Consensus)
Follow me after the jump for all of it
UFC Middleweight Championship #1 Anderson Silva VS #2 Chael Sonnen (July 7th @ UFC 148)-
The Most Dominant Champ in History faces the only man to truly test him in the last 6 years. Striking and Submission Advantage to Silva, Grappling to Sonnen.
#4 Mark Munoz VS #9 Chris Weidman (July 11th UFC on Fuel 4)
Both Fighters Sporting 4 Fight win streaks in the UFC's Middleweight division including wins over Maia, Lawlor, Leben, and Sakara means the winner has to be in title talk. Wrestling is a wash, Wiedman gets the advantage in Submissions as well as Speed and Technique in the Stand up Dept. While Munoz Gets the Advantage in Ground and Pound along with Power in his Stand up strikes
Strikeforce Middleweight Championship #12 Luke Rockhold VS #15 Tim Kennedy (July 14th Strikeforce)
Current Strikeforce Middleweight Champ Rockhold fights the only top MW in Strikeforce he has hasnt beat In Tim Kennedy. Kenndy gets the slight advantage in Wrestling while rockhold holds advantages in every other Dept, including a big gap in their Striking Games
#7 Hector Lombard VS #11 Tim Boestch (July 21st UFC 149)
Riding a 24 fight Unbeaten Streak the last Bellator Middleweight Champion finally debuts in the UFC against Tim Boetsch who is riding a three fight win streak against Kendall Grove, Nick Ring and his Comeback of the Year candidate KO against Yushin Okami. Both Are Judo Players even though i think the advantage should he choose to use it lies with the Cuban Olympian. Lombard has the advantage in every category IMO except Strength.
#8 Yushin Okami VS #14 Rousimar Palhares (Aug 11th UFC 150)
The Middleweight Mainstay Okami is coming off Back to Back losses for the first time in his career against the Leg Lock Specialist Palhares who is also coming off a loss. Both got finished in their last fights and Both of their strengths are the Ground Game. As far as Striking goes i would give the speed and technique advantage to Okami and the Power to Palhares. Palhares has the Submission Advantage by a large Margin.
#21 Ed Herman VS NR Jake Shields (Aug 11th UFC 150)
Former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion Shields return to the Middleweight Division to take on Ed Herman who is 3-0 with all finishes since returning from a long injury layoff. I think Herman is the better striker, and Shields is definitely the better grappller and Submission artist.
Here is what i think
I think Anderson silva will defeat Sonnen via 2nd RD TKO
Munoz will Grind out Weidman and survive multiple Submission attempts to either finish late or get a decision
Rockhold will Struggle with Kennedy's toughness but will finish him by SUB
Hector Lombard will defeat Boestch but i dont think he will finish him
Ed Herman will Spoil Jake Shields Return and move into the top 15-20
Patrick Cote KO's Cung Le Late in thier UFC 148 fight
Alan Belcher will face Vitor Belfort
Michael Bisping faces Brian Stann
Jacare is the only one in the TOP 15 either not injured or with out a fight announced

My wife, myself, and our daughter (2 years old) travelled on this cruise in order to see northern Europe. We all had a blast. What's not to like about this cruise and cruise line?
People: The staff were great! Our cabin steward (Benson) learned our names the first day and called us all (all three of us) by name every time he saw us. He would open our cabin for us if he saw us coming down the hall. If you're lucky enough to get Benson, you're lucky! However, at the same time, the rest of the staff was great too. The thing I have to say is that a two nights we received not-up-to-standard wait staff. Other than that, all personnel were very friendly!
Ship: The ship had many ammenities. We didn't use the pools (too cold), but they were clean and maintained. We even saw the pool chairs being scrubbed (with soap and water) near the last day. Good to know that gets done! The only negative I found was one design flaw. To get from the Kids Korner to the balcony of the theater (both deck 7), one had to walk through the smoky casino. Kids aren't supposed to walk through there anyway, but it was a pain to walk down to deck six, then back up to deck 7. The other complaint (more of an observation) I had was that only some of the elvators went down to 3 and up to 12. However, my advice to future sailers is to find these elevators in the beginning of your cruise, and then you'll know where they are. Once we figured this out, we were fine.
Cabin: Our cabin was spacious and comfortable. The under-the-bed storage space for bags was nice. Also, the plastic on the bed in order to put your luggage out and not get the bedspread dirty was also a nice touch! There was ample closet and storage space for all of our belongings (including toys, snacks, and extra clothes for our daughter). We even brought the big jogging stroller, and it fit nicely in the closet. Even with the pack-and-play in the room, there was enough room to move around freely. Excellent!
Dining: We enjoyed the freestyle dining. It allowed us to eat when we wanted, which is very importnat when eating with a two year old. however, at the same time, it was not uncommon to see people dressed up for dinner! Freestyle doesn't mean not classy. Of course, there is always the buffet option, which had many options and different types of food. Overall, the food was good. We had a great variety and enjoyed our dining experiences!
Entertainment: The entertainment was so-so. The ship's dancers and singers were very good, but the other shows were... iffy. There was a German guy who played the marimba and many other instruments and was quite impressive the first night. He had another show two nights later that was horrid. It was advertised as a "World of Percussion", but in all reality it was him changing the settings on his marimba to make it sound like different percussion instruments. The magician was not good either. Not only was he predictable, he had to encourage the audience to applaud after every trick. On the plus side, the ship had LOTS of live music at various places and times, and plenty of variety to choose from. Very impressive on that front.
Kids Korner: Having a two year old (two years and one month), this was the first time we could use the kids area for our daughter. She had a blast! The workers were friendly and the activities were engaging. Our daughter loved going and we used it often. Great program!

WESTPORT — As in most districts, the yearly headache of balancing rising expenses against the state-mandated cap complicates the budget process at Westport Central School.
It could result in staff cuts for next school year.
The current budget of $5,408,000 compared to projected expenditures of $5,436,021 for next school year leaves a gap of $28,021.
The allowable tax cap, according to the state formula, is a 3.76 percent increase, while the projected levy stands at 4.14 percent.
"This is the fourth try at the budget process," Westport Superintendent Dr. John Gallagher said at a recent School Board meeting. "Rumors have been running rampant that we will be cutting 80 percent of our staff."
That obviously will not happen, Gallagher continued, but "we are in serious financial straits due to state aid, insurance and retirement. It is very frustrating."
Among the larger increases are $31,869 more for Board of Cooperative Educational Services costs, $40,005 for health insurance, $8,300 for the Employee Retirement System and $82,525 for the Teachers Retirement System.
Gallagher and the School Board plan to use $132,000 of the fund balance to offset the difference.
"We were told to use this," he said, noting that school districts are limited to how much can be accumulated in their fund balances, so this is not unusual.
Gallagher was hopeful that additional state funding will help with the budget gap. He also expects the price of heating oil will decrease 23 cents a gallon.
School Board member Dwayne Stevens wanted to know if the money saved by fuel-oil costs could go into insulation for the bus garage, which might result in additional savings.
Board member Tom Kohler indicated the money would have to go into the fund balance first.
"In order to make this work, we're looking at across-the-board cuts in staff," Gallagher said. "If nothing else happens, on April 11, we will list where savings can be achieved.

Thanks for the input everyone. I don't want to rely on the extender as it is not convenient so I tend not to use it. I don't do any video work, stills only. Even though I may not use it alot, I like the idea of having coverage up to 300mm when I need it. Reviews I read stated that image quality on the 70-300L should rival the 70-200 f4L at most focal lengths plus I get the extra reach. I think you reinforced the way I was leaning. Always good to get some objective opinions. Thanks!

This week, discussion and debate at the Statehouse has centered on House Joint Resolution 3, a resolution that would put the same-sex marriage ban in the Indiana Constitution.
The resolution, which passed the Indiana House this week, is set to begin deliberations in the Senate next week. Before passing the measure, the House did amend the resolution, deleting a second sentence that bans civil unions by same-sex couples.
The Senate can insert the sentence back in, and if it passes, the measure will be decided by voters this fall. Same-sex marriage is currently illegal in Indiana due to a 1997 law.
Normally, we would not tread in murky moral waters but on Monday, our Washington City Council voted 4-2 on a resolution urging state legislators not to pass HJR-3. The council's resolution follows similar resolutions passed in cities like Indianapolis, New Albany, Evansville and elsewhere. The resolution was presented and written by Councilman Blake Chambers.
We agree with Chambers and the majority of the council. The resolution is wrong for Indiana.
It is understandable that a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage would pass here in Daviess County, where a substantial portion of this area's population believes same-sex marriage is wrong based on our Christian faith.
But the question Chambers asked is whether the ban is good for Indiana as a whole, and it is not. When leading businesses and institutions like Cummins, Eli Lilly, Indiana University and other groups and organizations throughout the state say it will be a bad idea, we should heed their insight. They are trying to compete globally, and to do that, they need to have a place where they can recruit the best.
Other organizations and publications have also lent their voices against the ban. Judging by the coverage of the resolution, it seems there are few organizations that do support the ban. Even in the religious community, where most of the support for the ban originates, there is debate and many leaders oppose it.

The Daily Scope
Today you're worried about money, especially at the beginning of a long weekend—you want to be able to afford a good time. But this sense of foreboding is all in your head. Think of your uncertainty as an opportunity to get clear about what's important to you, what you value, and what you appreciate.
Taurus, you love beautiful things and enjoy surrounding yourself with your belongings. But be careful that your sense of possessiveness doesn't creep into your personal relationships. Take time to observe this tendency, and if it's a problem, change it.
This is a day to take risks at work. There's nothing wrong with the approach you're taking now, but could it be improved? Now's the time to look for ways to grow, refresh your sense of motivation, and get reacquainted with the passion you have for your work.
Your recent creative pursuits are introducing you to a new social circle. As you incorporate these friends into your life, be sure an old friend doesn't try to lay a guilt trip on you. Remember that this may be about their own insecurities; they are scared of losing you. Reassure them that this isn't the case.
Today there's a discrepancy between your living standard and your professional life—you want your home to reflect your career advancement. But don't sell your cottage for the castle just yet. You need time to make a careful transition. Talk with friends; they may have some good ideas about how to make your dream house come true.
Routine chitchat leaves you bored and frustrated today. You crave more intelligent, inspiring conversation. An older and wiser person—someone still young at heart—has something to tell you and it's just what you need to hear.
Improving your financial wherewithal is on your mind, and today presents opportunities to make your desires known. Ask for that raise or start negotiations on a more lucrative contract that acknowledges your level of skill and expertise.
Scorpio, you've been on a mysterious journey of self-improvement. And today you feel ready to reveal the new you. If you've been concerned that your partner may not understand these changes, this evening gives you the ability to connect and communicate your evolution in an intimate and wordless way.
Sagittarians have an innate self-confidence that is sometimes perceived as bravura, or worse, egotism. Watch out for this today, and, if you need to, tone it down. It's important that you not be misunderstood and that your positive sense of self be inspiring, not intimidating.
Capricorn, sometimes you are so reserved that people think you're shy. If this is the case, push yourself to be more open and gregarious. This will help you expand your social circle, leading you to meet someone new who will, in time, become a dear and trusted friend.
Aquarius, it's time to do your own thing and immerse yourself wholeheartedly in a personal project that expresses your creativity. If you're still figuring out what that is, then put your amazing brain to good use. It's time to believe in yourself, your genius, and exercise your entrepreneurial abilities.
Pisces, today you find yourself drawn to new philosophies or metaphysical concepts that promise wisdom and understanding. Take it slow and think about how these ideas could be integrated into your life before you start talking about them. You don't need to get ahead of yourself.

Jamie Campbell Bower on Young Grindelwald in Deathly Hallows Part One: "He's very bird-like."DH Film
Actor Jamie Campbell Bower has given a new interview where he discusses his character of the young Gellert Grindelwald in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. In this article with MTV, Jamie says that the character appears in part one, and is indeed a "flashback character." He speaks of the young wizard who would later go on to play a pivotal role in the quest for the Elder Wand and describes the character:
"I play Gellert Grindelwald, who is an old friend of Dumbledore's," explained the 21-year-old actor. "It's a flashback character, which is good fun. I did a little bit before I went off and did 'New Moon.'" "No, I'm just doing number one," he answered when we asked if Grindelwald was scheduled to be in both halves of the split-for-the-cinema-sequels made from J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" novel. "Thus far, I mean. I haven't seen the script for the second one; I don't think anyone has seen the script for the second one."
As for the look of Gellert, the actor revealed: "We're pretty much keeping it straight; the costume is fantastic — we had this idea that he's very bird-like. He's described in the book as almost looking like a crow or something like that, and we [latched] onto that; I have a nice jacket which makes me look cool."
In fact, Jamie told us, if you look closely at Grindelwald's appearance when the first half of "Deathly Hallows" hits theaters in November 2010, you'll see hints of his bird motif. "It doesn't have wings or anything; it's just the way that it's cut. It's very subtle," he explained. "But, as is true with a lot of things in film, if you know what the intention is and the background of it, then you can recognize it — but if you're not really watching or paying any attention, then you'll miss it."
As TLC first reported last May, the part of young Dumbledore has indeed been cast with the part going to young actor Toby Regbo. One final casting note courtesy of SS: The part of Hermione's father has now been cast, with Ian Kelly to take on the part. Back in March we learned that actress Michelle Fairley had been cast as Mrs. Granger.

New watershed initiative supports Canada's water supply
The RBC Queen's University Water Initiative, led by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science's Department of Civil Engineering, aims at raising awareness of the impact of industrial development and agriculture on watershed health and water supplies.
"Protecting the water supply is key for maintaining healthy populations," says civil engineering researcher Kent Novakowski. "The more people who are aware of water protection issues the more help we have in safeguarding water supplies in Canada and around the world."
The 10-year water initiative is bringing researchers and industry partners together to expand research, and provide hands-on learning experiences for graduate and undergraduate students, in a world-class research and teaching environment.
Students across multiple disciplines, including engineering, health sciences and arts and science will study the physical, ecological, policy, economic and health issues associated with watersheds, and consult with industry clients in the region to help them better manage water use.
In addition, conservation groups and students from local elementary and high schools have opportunities for experiencing the watershed process at the 135-acre Kennedy Field Station, and learning how they can protect our fresh water supplies for the future.
"It is important that the community be part of this new initiative," says Steven Liss, Vice-Principal (Research). "Outreach through industry-student partnerships will help us close the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical skills."
Researchers will also monitor storm activity on the Salmon River watershed, and collect and analyze impact data, as part of the water initiative, making this the most documented river in North America. The resulting data archive will provide an important tool for researchers across Canada and the world.
RBC has donated $2 million to the RBC Queen's University Water Initiative as part of their Blue Water Project, which is committed to supporting organizations involved in watershed protection.

A member of the Cordova Police Department will check in daily at each establishment that enrolls in Business Watch. An emphasis will be placed on opening and closing times unless the officer on duty is responding to another call.
"It's for their peace of mind and to improve overall communication in the community," Smith said. "We get to know each business owner and their employees, and they get to know us. We want our presence to be felt."
A Business Watch decal will be placed at each participating store as well as a log for officers to sign during their daily checks.
Business owners will also be encouraged to attend the monthly Neighborhood Watch meetings that CPD recently began hosting.
Approximately 55 residents attended last month's organizational gathering.
"I was very impressed with that turnout. It says a lot about this community and the direction that they want to go," Smith said.
The next Neighborhood Watch will be Thursday, Feb. 28, at 7 p.m. at City Hall. Local watch captains will be assigned, and assistant chief Zak Green will make a presentation on the history and theory of crime prevention.
To enroll in Business Watch or to get more information about Neighborhood Watch, call the Cordova Police Department at 483-7378.
