User points
Hi all,
Has anyone created, thought of creating, or think it is a good idea to have a "User points" system. Like a competition tool, so users can be given points for doing certain site actions like posting, commenting, inviting new members, etc.
This sort of "tool" would be real useful in making a site grow quicker, if there is a money or prize offered for the user with the most points for a given period.

An update on the flu, and now more evidence that it is the worst this nation has seen in years. In Boston, where there are now 700 confirmed cases, the mayor has declared a state of emergency. The flu shots there are now free. A hospital near Allentown, Pennsylvania has set up a tent outside the emergency room to triage flu patients. Doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, say they are seeing more patients now than they did during the peak of the H1N1 epidemic.
While the majority of patients will eventually recover, there have been deaths. Most recently, six year-old Tahila Johnson from Garland, Texas.
Tahila's father, Earl Johnson, said, "She was a daddy's girl, like I don't know what to do, it's like my heart is gone now."
Meanwhile, the CDC says the death toll from the flu now includes two other children...a five year old boy in Nebraska and a fourteen year old girl in Minnesota.

A resume is your chance to summarize your education, experience, skills and accomplishments that are relevant to the job or internship. It must be well-written, error free, honest and descriptive.
A few tips to get you started:
Length – Typically for new graduates, the resume should be no longer than one page. Depending on the job and field you can go to two pages if necessary.
Content – Traditional-age students need only go back four years. Nontraditional-age students can go back ten years but should only include significant and pertinent information.
Sections – The main categories for the resume generally include Education, Experience, and Activities. Other categories might include Skills, Internships, Volunteer and Professional Organizations. For each section, list the content from most recent to least recent.
Descriptions – Use short, concise sentences starting with an action verb. Describe your accomplishments, how you completed the tasks and what you did well.
Format – Distribute the information evenly over the page. Use some formatting to guide the reader through the document including bullets, bold and italics.
Note – remember that these are general guidelines to follow. Each situation may require adjustment according to the position and application requirements as well as based on your background and experiences.

PLANO -- There was a long line at the McDonald's on Spring Creek Parkway in Plano Thursday morning, but not for the famous fries.
Large companies often offer free flu shots to employees to save on worker productivity. It is not so common at smaller businesses. And, it wasn't the main reason Chuck O'Reilly decided to provide flu shots for his restaurant employees during the flu outbreak.
"I can go ahead, protect all of our employees, and indirectly, make it safer for our guests because of the interactions," O'Reilly said. "And we just see hundreds and hundreds of interactions every day."
O'Reilly said after waiting in line two hours recently for a flu shot for himself, he began thinking of his shift employees, who likely didn't have the time or money to do the same. Most don't have insurance or Medicaid. Often workers don't have reliable transportation.
So, O'Reilly decided to hire a company to provide free flu vaccine for employees of his 17 restaurants, during three different on-site shot clinics.
The majority of the employees admit they have never had a flu shot. Many don't speak English. Most make near minimum wage. A flu shot could cost them three hours of wages they can ill-afford.
One employee awaiting vaccine is a mother of four. Another had recently emigrated to the United States. Karen Gonzalez, 18, is saving every penny.
"Yeah, because I'm earning money right now for college," Gonzalez said.
The McDonald's employees are required to wash their hands every hour -- not enough when dealing with countless germy hands and money. All the employees were grateful for this shot to stay healthy, and stay on the job.

Charlotte Weber is director & CEO of the Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing.
American manufacturing continues to undergo tremendous changes and transformations. The first transformative wave that affected manufacturing was the introduction of the steam engine, followed by the advent of mass-production techniques. Then came the globalization of manufacturing. Fast forward to the 21st century, with manufacturers and entrepreneurs seeing big changes due to a new wave of innovations, such as 3D printing, robotics, customized products, etc.
What does this mean for manufacturers and entrepreneurs and how do they prepare themselves to survive and thrive? A new report from MIT suggests that a renewed commitment to R&D in manufacturing, through creative new forms of collaboration, can spur innovation and growth in the United States.
The report, Production in the Innovation Economy, or PIE, follows two years of in-depth research on hundreds of firms across various industrial sectors, ranging in size from high-tech startups to multinational corporations.
While there are a variety of reasons why the nation should seek to retain its own manufacturing base, from defense capacities to job creation, the report aims to highlight the larger potential that manufacturing holds for innovation-based economic growth in the United States.
"It has been suggested by previous reports that sustaining the strength of U.S. manufacturing is essential to America's future; a strong advanced-manufacturing base is crucial to national security, and it represents a key source of good-paying jobs," MIT President L. Rafael Reif says. "But as the PIE report makes clear, local production is very important to sustaining a vibrant innovation ecosystem in a region.
"Thus, we must also take steps now to regain U.S. manufacturing momentum if we want to sustain the nation's signature economic advantage: innovation."
Among the approaches the report recommends are new forms of collaboration and risk-sharing — often through public-private partnerships or industry-university agreements — that can enable a wide variety of firms and industries to grow. Another conclusion the report emphasizes is that manufacturing should not be regarded as a small group of traditional, shrinking industries. Instead, manufacturing is a diverse, evolving group of industries in which new products and knowledge frequently emerge from firms of all sizes throughout the country.
The Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing, or RCBI, is a unique regional public-private organization that facilitates university-industry R&D efforts and provides training to manufacturers. Our statewide Advanced Manufacturing Technology Centers provide advanced manufacturing equipment and software available to lease ranging from state-of-the-art, cutting-edge machining, precision cutting tools and computer-aided design and manufacturing to robotics, digital scanning and 3D Printing. RCBI helps keep manufacturers competitive and thriving.
RCBI remains committed to being a beacon of innovation and learning for manufacturers of all sizes. Innovation again is opening new worlds of opportunities. RCBI is happy to be a partner in all of this and serve as a driving force toward a bright future.

2. Is the response to a "Set Z On" an SMS sent back to the user? If so, is it possible to disable responses, so that the N30 doesn't use credit on its SIM? What happens if you don't enter the message centre number? Does this prevent the command sent to the N30 from being executed?

There's nothing like a block of frozen spinach to make you feel bad about your family dinner. There's good food and bad food and pretty food and ugly food–and then there's the frozen-spinach block. By any rights, this is not something you should want to eat. The picture on the box looks lovely, and the very idea of eating spinach is healthy. But what you find inside is a frosty, slightly slimy, algae-colored slab.
Somewhere out there–maybe just a five-minute drive from your house–a farmer's market is selling fresh, organic leaf spinach that might have been sprouting from the soil an hour ago.

I thought our pass blocking was good enough to win with but the run blocking was bad enough to keep that from happening ..
I highly doubt that Wilson will go from getting virtually no touches this past season to getting the vast majority of carries next. I agree with those who are saying the carries will be split.
After how Brown performed last year when healthy, how could you not want him on the field?
All Hail The New York Giants!!
Nyc, I still would be ok with Zac Stacy in the 6th or 7th rd to compete for the 3rd or 4th RB position.
One day, not today, not tomorrow, not this season, probably not next season either but one day, you and I are gonna wake up and suddenly we're gonna be like every other team in every other sport where winning is everything and nothing else matters. And when that day comes, well thats, thats when we'll honor them--Jack Lengyel Marshall University
Really, what the team needs is for some of it's late round OL prospects to start developing into players. Brewer, Petrus, McCants, Mosely, Cordle, Capers. We need one of these guys to develop into a legit starter, similar to Boothe. It's hard to build a well rounded team relying only on your premium draft picks and free agents, we need more of our later draft picks at the position to start panning out.
I find it amazing how well he develope UDFA's, yet don't seem to have as many late round picks develop the same way.
All Hail The New York Giants!!
I dont understand this "mauler" thing. Giants have never used maulers on the OL. Thats not how they run the ball. They are a pull and trap team.

The bad: The N79's navigation controls and dialpad are a little cramped, and call quality was a bit mixed.

Summary: I just got the N79 the first one I got the screen just stopped working so Nokia did replace the phone. The second does have one pixel out on the screen other then that no issues right now. The screen is great really bright easy to see. Music is easy to play and is organized. There is the Navi whele, scroll wheel similar to an iPod. It is great so scroll through lots of media but got annoying in menus. The camera takes great pictures without the flash for a phone. The colors look great. Fast motion is not the greatest, if you are looking to replace your camera with this do not. The flash had to be one of the biggest complaints I have with the N79. Every close up I take with the flash has a green tint to it. If you step away from the subject it seems to go away. Also I have noticed on some of the pictures I have taken with the flash the top of the pictures seemed to be discolored from the flash. It is kind of lighter, sometimes even white. It is way better then the N97 though, some pictures I have seen have been horrible when the flash is being used. Another great thing about the camera is that you can Geotag the pictues, record GPS location of wher you took the picture. A great feature with that is you can see the location right on the phone instead of uploading it to the web. The keys are cramped on the phone, that is the price you pay for a small phone though. I have decent size fingers and do not have much of an issue, mainly just with the 1, 2, and 3 keys. Gps is pretty good I have not really used it that much. I do like that it goes on the web to find stuff so it is up to date unlike most GPS units. The N79 does not seem to be a very popular phone compared to some of Nokia's other N series. I have not been able to find a lot of apps on Ovi for the phone. One app that works very well with the phone is Nokia Vine, the reason I bought the phone. If anyone has a nokia phone with GPS this is a must have. Call quality has been fine for me no issues here. Reception is good where I live no one gets great reception and I am constantly jumping from 3g and Edge. Thought compared to other phones I have had it is a lot more stable.

Summary: Camera?s excellent, use it to even send ?scanned? documents. Transmitter?s great, no need for extra connectivity to play music in the car, or through other radios when I need to hear some good tunes ; )
Not durable, it fell off my desk and when it hit the floor (plastic) 2 feet below the faceplate cracked?and just try getting a new one! And if you find it, the cost cause they sell the whole covering as one.
had the phone for only 5 months and now it?s freezing, battery life is terrible one day of use only after fully charging.Crashing a lot. Restart the phone and within max 1 minute of use it freezes, so I have to restart and then hope that I have enough time to pull out a tel number to call from another device. I went back to Nokia after an unimpressive time with Samsung (two devices) and got this type of reliability as a welcome back.
Gets only 1 star for me because I bought it recently for $270 and its now got to be sent back.

Great phone with some performance issues
by Chowdder512 on January 16, 2010
Pros: Handsome handset for a Nokia phone at least, Wifi capable, FM transmitter, great 5MP camera, GPS, accelerometer, multimedia function, document viewer, 3.5 mm headphone jack, scroll wheel, 3G, colour back-cover.

Summary: So I'm a long time owner of this phone. I bought mine back in April of 2009, and I've had this phone for almost a year now. I can definitely say that durability wise, this phone is built almost like a tank. I've dropped it more than a couple of times. Overall, it is a great phone and I wouldn't have kept it if it wasn't. However I'm not here to praise the phone, most of you guys would already know what praises I would throw since you've read the spec sheet. Instead , I've come to point out the shortcomings of this phone during my time as the first owner.
First is the feel of this phone, it's not light nor is it heavy. It gives the impression that it's a light phone but it's heavier than it looks. The outter cover has a plastic-like feel from the keypads, to the chrome accents, to the camera lense cap. Everything is plastic-like, which makes it look and feel cheap.
The FM radio tuner has become an issue for the past 4 or 5 months now. So far, firmware updates have not corrected the problem. What I experience is loss of radio tuner after keeping the phone on for over 12-18 hours. Even if the tuner is not in use, if I begin to use it after I kept the phone on for 12-18 hours, the tuner can not tune into any radio stations. I have to restart the phone in order to have it working again. A nuisance since I use it as a fm radio on a semi-daily basis.
On a full charge, this phone gives me approximately a little over one full day of usage before I need to recharge the battery. I'm a below average user and I expected the phone to last me at least 2 days without need to charge. If you're a heavy user, the battery will drain very quickly.
Unlike what most other people say about the keypad, I personally do not find it to be that bad. It's not great since the menu keys are stubby and difficult to press, but they're not terrible either. The number keys are completely flat (meaning they have nothing to distinguish one key from the next). My biggest grip is with the D-pad. First of all, the "enter/ok" button in the middle is unnecessarily large. It is so big, that often I have difficulty pressing the up button. The D-pad double function as a scroll wheel, which is actually pretty functional when paired with the music player function or selecting items through a huge menu. However, because of the large center button, you are constantly moving your thumb out of the way in order to complete a full circle.
Finally, I wish the lense cover will have some form of a clip-like mechanism to hold it in the close position. I put the phone in my jean pocket, and often I find that I'm inadvertently activating the camera. Having the hold switch on doesn't even solve this problem, since sliding of the lense cover automatically unlock the keypads.
Despite this drawbacks, I still love this phone. In terms of the mileage I got out of this phone, I think it is worth the 350 dollars I spent to buy it.

Summary: Despite of the poor keypad design and smaller screen size compared to N95 (there is enough room for a bigger screen), and the choice of back covers which is not in synchronisation with the front, N79 is a good choice in price-performance. Although N79 is one of the slimmest N-Series phone available in the market, I can't say it has a 'slim' design (it's still 15 mm thick).
Great phone! Best choice!
by gfaza on February 12, 2009
Pros: Your best choice in price-performance-size-features, and with a super-fast-GPS !
Cons: The D-Pad, and Menu and Clear Buttons (not so Cons, but a little annoying)
Summary: As i said, my best choice in SmartPhone. (I used to use Nokia N75, N95 8GB, Nokia N78, HTC Diamond and HP iPaq 614c).

Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris announced that WR Mike Williams will play Sunday against the 49ers despite the rookie wideout being arrested and charged with driving under the influence early Friday morning, according to Pewter Report.
"We just gathered the information and just dealing with my captains and everybody else," Morris told Pewter Report. "We gathered all the information and came to the decision that I'm going to travel him and play him."
Williams, who leads all rookies in receiving yards with 627 in nine games this season, was arrested even though his blood-alcohol level was lower than the 0.08 level at which a motorist is considered too intoxicated to drive.
The ex-Syracuse standout was driving 57 mph in a 45-mph zone and weaving in and out of lanes, according to Hillsborough sheriff's spokesman Larry McKinnon. When Williams agreed to sobriety tests at the traffic stop, deputies saw signs of impairment. Breath tests showed Williams had blood-alcohol levels of 0.065 and 0.061. In Florida, drivers are presumed drunk at 0.08.
Morris told Pewter Report that he was disappointed with Williams' actions, but happy with the way the rookie handled the situation.
"He was cooperative," Morris said. "I did get my reports back on that so I was very pleased with his ability to be cooperative and not be disrespectful, and make this thing even worse than it could be."
Williams also submitted to a urine test, with results pending. Deputies reported that Williams smelled of alcohol and had glassy eyes.
The way we see it
Williams has been a favorite target of Bucs QB Josh Freeman all season and his presence will provide a big boost for Tampa Bay. The 6-3 Bucs will go on the road against a tough 49ers defense this week and Williams will allow them to do more in the passing game.
Fantasy Spin
While San Francisco is ranked in the middle of the pack defensively, the 49ers' strength has been stopping the run. With that in mind, Williams could put up big numbers if the Bucs decide to focus on their aerial attack on Sunday.

Two weeks ago, I wrote about the tree and violet-green swallows that nest in this area. They are the swallows that have dark blue-black backs and white under parts as they flash by.
Staunton State Park is on track to open to the public in October, as volunteer recruitment, partner development and construction progress.
A firm date for the opening of Colorado's newest state park — on 3,500 acres north of Shaffers Crossing — will be set sometime in August, said park manager Jennifer Marten.
Community partners and volunteers
The Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife hosted two open houses in April to recruit volunteers to help build and maintain the park and partners to raise money for it.
One of the most prominent and therefore most asked-about bird at Evergreen Lake is the double-crested cormorant. This big bird often is seen sitting on the dam or on the sandbar that accumulates at the inlet. They are big black birds that people cannot fail to see, especially when they have their wings spread out to dry.
A phone call from a reader of this column on Thursday, July 12, brought some exciting news. The call was from Susan Pellegrini, who lives out Brook Forest Drive. She was calling to tell me she had seen her first rose-breasted grosbeak at her feeder. It was an adult male, not all that unusual in itself, but it was the date that excited me.
Another question from a reader this week asked how to keep squirrels out of bird feeders. Any of you who have read this column regularly recall that I wrote some time ago that I had given up trying to outsmart the squirrels.
The questions I am most frequently asked are, "What is the best bird book for this area?" or "What is the best bird book for identification? or "What book do you use?" Actually, I use three books most frequently.
Today, June 20, is the summer solstice, the day that people of many races and cultures around the world celebrate as midsummer night's eve, the longest day of the year and thereby the shortest night of the year.
Although many species of bird return to nest in this area at various times, the hummingbirds seem to be very regular in their arrival dates, and most everyone who lives here seems to agree that when the hummingbirds arrive, it is truly summer.
Although they return at lower elevations a bit earlier than they do here, the broad-tailed hummingbirds that nest in our immediate area usually arrive between April 25 and April 27, and they have done so for close to the 50 years I have lived here.
The little brown house wren has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. They always nested in a box in our yard on the farm where I grew up, and they were common nesting birds in most every yard in the village.
May has had its usual fling of one last snowstorm. Fortunately, this year it was just about four inches, not the four feet it brought us a few years ago. Now that it has succeeded in ruining Mother's Day for a good many people, it seems to be clearing up and the coming week's forecast looks like we will be having not just spring, but summer weather.

Reviews for Stacked Vegetables and Ravioli
Sort By :
I followed directions for most part. I used two unpeeled yellow crock neck and one peeled green zucchini
I sautéed the Vegs w galic salt. Other than that I sprinkled mozzarella on top. Very good vegetarian dinner. I would add fresh spinach next time or gr turkey for the protein
We all enjoyed this a lot. Next time, I will chop up the basil leaves for the inner layer--finding a whole one in a bite was a little much!
Enjoyed this recipe. Very tasty and loved the zucchini and squash in it. I didn't have the shredded parmesan on hand, subtstituted part-skim mozzarella and turned out wonderful..Excellent!
I loved everything about this recipe. I made a half recipe as I cooked it for myself. It was easy to assemble and tasted delicious. Now I'm wishing I had made the full recipe!
I have made this a couple times now and my family really likes it. It is like a veggie lasagna, but with ravioli instead of lasagna noodles. It was easy to assemble and made great leftovers. The only thing I changed the second time around was how much squash I used. The recipe calls for too much for our tastes so I only used one of each the second time around.

|Cool and Functional
User: Chip Slicer, Apr 20, 2012
|Absolutely love this at work, works great with the Seidio Active case (already has the holes in the bottom of the case) and keeps the battery charged while Im at my desk. Much nicer than constantly plugging and unplugged and wearing out a port over time.
|Great Charging Stand
User: Harry Jones, Mar 21, 2012
|Great charging stand for the 9900. Holds the phone firmer than the BB brand I had for the 9700. Weighted base helps keep the cradle from sliding around. Recommended!

Radio communication is the back bone of the what fire fighters do, and the most recent grant awarded to the Panama City Fire Department came at a perfect time.
Chief Wayne Watts is using the funds from the Port of Panama City grant to improve and upgrade radio systems.
"We like to make sure we have back ups for our back ups for our back ups," said Watts.
Last year the department won moneys that provided new 800 mega hertz radios. Now, this newest grant is helping to provide a back up to their new equipment.
"Certainly, we were excited to just get one of them," said Watts. "The fact that we were able to get both, and take care of what would have been a long problem, we were able to complete the project right away."
"Technology has gotten so advanced now it's what we need to do our job," said Lieutenant Michael Cessani.
Cessani is heavily involved in the grant application process. According to upcoming federal regulations the new radios were a requirement.
"Narrow banding requires all of our radios be updated to a certain type of programming," said Cessani. "And our old radios were not capable of that."
The two grants have the city hundreds of thousands of dollars and over the past ten years Panama City Fire Department grants have saved the city millions.
"The actual total cost to the city for both grants one was a matching grant the city's match was a little over eighteen thousand dollars," said Watts. "But, the value of the equipment is right at $350,000.
"This isn't our money. It belongs to the citizens. So, we try to find any way we can to save money and stretch the money any way we can."
Chief Watts says the new 800 mega hertz radios and VHF radios should last the department for the next twenty years.

(WMC-TV) – Almost three weeks after Memphis police officer Martoiya Lang was killed in the line of duty, the man accused of shooting her appeared in court.
Treveno Campbell, 21, appeared in front of a judge in person Thursday morning.
According to police, Campbell opened fire on Lang and her fellow officer, William Vrooman, as they served a drug-related warrant at a home on Mendenhall Cove on December 14.
Campbell is being represented by veteran defense attorney William Massey.
"This is going to be a long, tough, hard fight," Massey told Action News 5 Thursday. "This isn't going to be over quickly."
He continued, "We have already had our investigator working so we're gathering information that will help us defend this case."
Shelby County's District Attorney General Amy Weirich is personally prosecuting the case.
"Jennifer Nichols that heads up our special victims unit and myself are the prosecutors that will make sure that justice is done," said Weirich.
Treveno Campbell will be back in court for a preliminary hearing on January 31.
The second suspect in the home at the time of the shooting is Willie Braddock. Police say he ran into a back bedroom as Campbell started shooting.
Braddock also appeared in court Thursday. He is being represented by Blake Ballin.
"He is connected to this case in a very minor way. He was found in a room where allegedly a controlled substance was found," said Ballin. "It remains to be seen whether they can connect to the shooting, the drugs or whether he was simply just in the house."
Braddock is expected back in court next week.

Citrus Grilled Turkey Breast Recipe
Instead of the usual outdoor barbecue, treat your guests to a sit-down dinner featuring this delicious grilled entree with a luscious herb and citrus gravy. I comes from our Test Kitchen.
- 1 bone-in turkey breast (5 to 6 pounds)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley sprigs
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 garlic cloves, halved
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 medium orange, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Using fingers, carefully loosen the skin from both sides of turkey breast. In a food processor or blender, combine the parsley, basil, butter, garlic and salt; cover and process until smooth. Spread under turkey skin; arrange lemon and orange slices over herb mixture. Secure skin to underside of breast with toothpicks.
- Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan.
- Place turkey over drip pan. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pour pan drippings into a measuring cup; skim fat. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Add the orange juice, orange peel, lemon peel, pepper and pan drippings. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Discard the skin, lemon and orange slices from turkey breast. Remove herb mixture from turkey; stir into gravy. Slice turkey and serve with gravy. Yield: 10-12 servings.

By James Clark | email
LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Thursday, Texas tech released some, but not all, of the public records that NewsChannel 11 requested the first week of January pertaining to the firing of coach Mike Leach. Player Adam James and his family accused Leach of mistreating him and Leach denies the allegation.
Among the records we requested were "copies of any and all written complaints about Mike Leach's treatment of players from the time he was hired to the present." The official response was "after a review of known records, no documents exist which are responsive to your request." In other words there are absolutely no written complaints about the way Leach treated players during his 10 years as head coach.
NewsChannel 11 also asked for "any and all documentation indicating insubordination by Mike Leach." Texas Tech says in its response to the open records request, "The documents you requested may be withheld under state law." The office of Texas Attorney General will make a ruling at a later date as to whether or not those documents are released to NewsChannel 11.
Texas tech claims we already have some of the documents from court records or university news releases. But here is something truly new about the threats made against Adam James. A Texas Tech campus police report says that in early January someone posted a message to espnsportsnation.com saying: "I will kill Adam James. You hear that Craig? I am going to crush every bone in his fragile little body and throw it in a trash dumpster."
The Texas Tech police report says the issue was referred to the FBI, and it appeared to come from somewhere in New Jersey.

Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra Radio
Established in post World War II West Germany to serve as the resident ensemble for the Bavarian Radio Station in Munich, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra is one of the premier broadcasting orchestras in Europe. Sometimes known outside Germany as the Munich Symphony, this 115-piece orchestra is based in the 2,400-seat Philharmonie Munich am Gasteig where it maintains a full schedule of public performances. Although the ensemble's primary duty is broadcasting, the orchestra tours and records regularly. In addition to the full orchestra, several smaller ensembles including the Koeckert-Quartet, the Back Collegium Munich and the Munich Brass Ensemble have been established by members of the larger group. The popularity and critical acclaim given these smaller ensembles reflects the high standard of musicianship that is present within the full orchestra.
Created in 1948, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra's first radio broadcast was a performance of the Intermezzo from Richard Strauss's opera Capriccio, conducted by the composer, in July, 1949. Eugen Jochum began his decade as the chief conductor for the orchestra in September, 1949. Under his leadership, the ensemble toured widely in Europe and began its long association with and participation in the International Competition of the Association of the Radio Broadcasting Stations in the Federal Republic of Germany. Focusing principally on a traditional repertoire of Classical and Romantic music, Jochum also established the "Musica Viva," a concert series of contemporary music, which has become a tradition for the Bavarian Radio Symphony. Many twentieth-century composers have been guest conductors for this series including Stravinsky, Hindemith and Kubelik.
Jochum was succeeded as conductor by Rafael Kubelik in 1961, who carried on the tradition of maintaining a Classical and Romantic repertoire which Jochum had started. In Kubelik's eighteen years as chief conductor, the orchestra toured extensively in Europe and North America, participated in numerous radio, television and recording projects and dramatically expanded its musical repertoire. Its guest conductors were among the finest including Leonard Bernstein and Kiril Kondrashin, who succeeded Kubelik as conductor in 1979. Unfortunately, his time with the orchestra was very short, barely two years, due to his untimely death in 1981.
Various guest conductors and a busy broadcasting, concert and recording schedule carried the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra forward until 1983, when Sir Colin Davis became chief conductor. Under Davis, the ensemble enhanced its already excellent reputation with a stunning recording of the complete cycle of the Mendelssohn symphonies and well-accepted tours of Europe, Japan and the United States.
As the chief conductor who chosen to lead the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra into the twenty-first century, Lorin Maazel is the first American to conduct this illustrious ensemble. Under his direction, the orchestra has continued its focus on Classical and Romantic repertoire and its full broadcasting and performance schedule.
With its traditionally rich and romantic sound, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra has truly earned its international reputation as one of the finest broadcasting and touring orchestras in Europe. ~ Corie Stanton Root

For now? I liken the PUSD efforts to that of a person that doesn't provide maintenance on their vehicle in the hopes that everything will be alright. That person probably can't afford the maintenance because they've become accustom to spending the money they do have on things that make everyone happy. Eventually, the innevitable major issue rears its ugly head and the predictable result is an extended hand.

This incompetence and greed in the school district is getting beyond reproach. It's not rocket science to see what's happening. Yet, we're all riding on an endless merry-go-round as the concept of balanced budget escapes the parading clowns prancing down the street. We'll soon hear, "But we need the money at the top for the kids." Yep, sure, uh uh.

ESPN's 2011 NFL power rankings for Week 3 were handed out and I immediately looked for the Buffalo Bills -- No. 16. After the Bills throttled the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, 41-7, ESPN had Buffalo ranked No. 27, which caused a stir among the Bills faithful.
This week, ESPN moved them up a lot more. The Bills go up 11 spots to No. 16 in ESPN's power rankings this week after they capped an awesome comeback over the Oakland Raiders. In fact, they were the highest risers in SB Nation's NFL power rankings this week.
The Bills are still the lowest ranked undefeated team, right behind the 2-0 Washington Redskins.
The New Orleans Saints (4) and Houston Texans (5) enter the top five after the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens dropped this week. On the other side of things, the Browns move out of the cellar, which is now occupied by the Seattle Seahawks, right behind the Kansas City Chiefs.
Like most power rankings around the media, ESPN has the Green Bay Packers at top followed by the New England Patriots.

As Minnesotans headed to the polls on Tuesday, it was clear the proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot were top priorities for divided voters, but the marriage amendment was rejected early Wednesday morning.
From the moment the votes began to trickle in, two thirds of voters in reported precincts had shot down the measure to define marriage as solely between one man and one woman in the state Constitution. Many of the early returns came from Hennepin and Ramsey counties, where opposition to the measure was expected to be higher.
As the night went on, that margin narrowed down -- at one point to a 49-49 split, but a delay in reporting from Minneapolis later pushed the no votes above 50 percent of ballots cast at about 2 a.m.
Exit polls showed that a majority of women and voters under age 50 voted against the amendment, which was backed by a majority of men and those over 50. The vote was also largely split along party lines.
The amendment needed to earn at least 50 percent of the vote plus one to pass.
Amendments questions are also subject to slightly different rules than other items on the ballot, because any question left blank would automatically be counted as a no vote.
The failure of the amendment does not mean that gay marriage is legal in the state; however, supporters of the amendment fear that's the next step. Currently, Minnesota law prohibits same-sex couples from obtaining a marriage license in the state. Amending the Constitution would have barred the Supreme Court or the Legislature from altering or repealing that law.
Both sides of the issue spent record amounts to plead their case to the public, and the cause attracted some big names, from sporting celebrities like Vikings punter Chris Kluwe and Lynx star Seimone Augustus, to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who donated $125,000 against the amendment.
The issue also revived a debate over the role of churches in the political process, especially after Catholic leaders across the state sent letters to parishioners voting.

Baseball falls in opener at UNF
Related Links
Two big innings helped North Florida down the JU baseball team, 11-2, in A-Sun action Friday night at Dusty Rhodes Field.
A three-run first inning gave the Ospreys (30-23, 11-14) the early lead. UNF scored four runs on the Dolphins (17-37, 6-19) with two outs in the seventh inning to put the game out of reach and secure the SunTrust River City Rumble point.
"We came out flat," JU head coach Terry Alexander said. "UNF was very aggressive and it showed. Tomorrow is a new day and I look forward to us having a better effort."
UNF starter Kyle Westwood (6-4) struck out six JU batters, while scattering four hits and two runs to earn the complete-game win for the Ospreys. Drew Weeks had three RBI to lead UNF offense.
Sophomore Chris Anderson (5-4) took the loss after allowing seven runs on nine hits and four strikeouts in five innings.
The Dolphins got a hit from the top four hitters in their lineup. Juniors Dan Gulbransen and Adam Brett Walker II each had a double, while senior Jonathan Murphy added a home run.
Consecutive doubles to start the UNF first inning helped the Ospreys grab a 1-0 lead. After a walk, Andrew Karmaris scored a run on a sacrifice fly to center field. The Ospreys scored a run on another sacrifice fly later in the inning for 3-0 early advantage.
Gulbransen doubled to start the second inning for the Dolphins. Gulbransen moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a ground out by freshman Alex McRae to cut into the deficit.
Anderson found the right rhythm by scattering two hits in the next three innings to keep UNF off the board. He got the first two outs in the fifth inning before allowing a Karmaris double. The Ospreys followed with three straight triples to extend their lead to 6-1. Spencer Herrmann scored on a wild pitch to cap the two-out surge.
Westwood retired 13 of the next 14 JU hitters following the Gulbransen double. Murphy finally broke up the streak with a two-out home run down the right field in the sixth inning. Sophomore Zachary Houck followed with a bunt single, but Westwood induced a pop out in the next at-bat to end the inning.
The Ospreys tacked on two more runs in the seventh and eighth innings, while Westwood kept the Dolphins scoreless in the final three innings to secure the win.
The teams will wrap the series tomorrow with a doubleheader starting at noon. Fans can follow the action through the live links at JUDolphins.com.

Air Quality
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ozone season in the Dallas/Fort
Worth area begins May and goes through October. What is ozone and what can be done to reduce ozone pollution? Ozone is a gas that occurs in the Earth's upper atmosphere and at ground level. It can be good or bad, depending on where it is found. For current Ozone Activity visit www.nctcog.org
Reduce the "bad ozone" or ozone-forming emissions by:
For more information about Air North Texas' Go Green Breathe Clean, a campaign for clean air, visit www.airnorthtexas.org
Where do the pollutants that form ozone come from?
Pollutants that contribute to ground-level ozone formation come from many different types of sources. As you learned, these pollutants are NOxand VOCs. The figure below shows the sources of these pollutants, which include point and area sources such as electrical generation plants, non-road engines such as lawnmowers and airplanes, on-road vehicles including cars and trucks, and miscellaneous sources such as trees and fires. In the DFW region pollution from cars and trucks, or on-road vehicles, contribute approximately 45 percent of the NOxpollution that leads to ozone formation.
Why do we care about the ozone?
The EPA sets federal standards for air pollutants according to health-based criteria. When levels are near or above the National Ambient Air Quality Standards an Ozone Watch or Warning is issued. The EPA has established levels at which ozone is unhealthy for humans. Ozone irritates the lining of the lungs, can aggravate respiratory conditions, and can make breathing more difficult for some people such as young children, seniors, asthma sufferers and those with respiratory diseases.The Watch and Warning system using the Air Quality Index (AQI) colors, was developed to notify citizens that ozone concentrations are close to exceeding or do exceed healthy levels of ozone and that outside activities might be unhealthy for sensitive groups. For most of the population, exposure for long periods of time to higher ozone levels indicated by the color purple on the AQI are unhealthy.

Does anyone know any good websites for old walk behind garden tractors ?
I'd like to find ones with old photos or brochures to look at; the reason being is the old wagon I'd gotten from my Grandfathers place is actually set up to be a sulky as well, holes for a seat in the front, and a pedal that runs the brakes (still work) the tailgate and front are both removeable. It dumps, and it has fenders (which had remnants of reflectors on there similar to the early cub cadets). I believe it was originally a pale blue color.
I've been looking on and off over the last 2 years and cannot find another like it. I'd like to know what line it was from. Couldn't find any markings on it whatsoever.
