WASHINGTON — The hardest-hit area in Indiana by the $85 billion budget sequester that takes place Friday will be close to home at Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane.
According to figures released by Sen. Joe Donnelly, the base will lose $36 million in funding, the most in the state.
"We know how critical the work they do is," Donnelly said. "The work they do is directly related to the cybersecurity of our nation and our men and women in the armed forces.
"To all the Crane workers, we know how critical everything you do is."
Although it is not official, many employees are worried about mandated furloughs that will take a day's work from many. NSWC Crane is the third-largest employer in southwest Indiana, employing over 4,500 in the base alone.
Several employees, like the Kettinger family in Shoals, rely on Crane for their livelihood. Both work for contractors that help in various base functions at the third largest naval installation in the world.
"Everything is very uncertain at the moment," Traci Kettinger said. "If we don't get altogether, just the furlough with hours being cut would result in a major pay (cut) in our household."
Kettinger also said she is "praying for it not to happen."
According to official word from Crane, furloughs have not happened. Yet.
"I wish I could say," Pamela Ingram, public affairs officer for NSWC Crane said. "We don't know how we will be directly affected."
Ingram said the official word will come from the Pentagon. If the furloughs are implemented, pay cuts will be at 20 percent. The cuts will start in April and continue to the end of the fiscal year in September.
"I don't think anyone actually knows yet, because it has never been done before," Ingram said.
Also unsure is the impact on programs Crane offers. The naval operation offers support in electronic warfare, strategic missions and special missions. Ingram said because many of the projects come from the Pentagon's working capital fund, no decisions have been made on the impact.
Political leaders in Indiana and in Washington D.C. are watching closely on what to see what happens. At the statehouse in Indianapolis, a press secretary to Gov. Mike Pence said his administration will replace sequestration with responsible cuts.
"Because we continually work hard in Indiana to make government more efficient, we are confident that our affected agencies - including the Indiana National Guard - can manage through the sequester reductions," the statement said.
On the federal level, Sen. Joe Donnelly said in a conference call he wants to see a flexibility package made for the defense cuts, giving the Pentagon the discretion to make the cuts where they want them, instead of across-the-board cuts.
Such action, Donnelly said, would help Crane. The junior senator said he has talked with Adm. Jon Greenert, Chief of Naval Operations. The two were part of a tour of Crane last December with Sen. Dan Coats.
"(Greenert) said to me 'Look, I understand and the Navy understands that Crane is a crown jewel,'" Donnelly said.
Sen. Coats said in a statement he voted against the original sequester bill because it "falsely assumes that all federal programs are equal and therefore all programs should be cut equally."
"A more responsible way to govern is to separate the essential functions of government from the programs that are duplicative, unnecessary or unaffordable to find ways to reduce spending and save taxpayer dollars."
Coats went on to say President Barack Obama should agree to "responsible, targeted alternative spending reductions."
In the House, Eighth District Rep. Larry Bucshon, R-Newburgh, released a list of things to know about the sequester and said the House passed two funding bills to take the place of the sequester. Bucshon has said President Barack Obama has resorted to scare tactics, but he is waiting like many others.
"We do not know for certain what the cuts will entail for any organization specifically until they occur," Bucshon said in a statement. "That being said, I will continue to work closely with Crane as I have in the past to help. There is no doubt that these cuts proposed by the president are irresponsible and should be replaced."
Another aspect of the specter of the sequester cuts is the impact of jobs at the WestGate @ Crane Tech Park. Hiring at the 1,600-job technology park has been slow while waiting for the other budgetary shoe to drop, and layoffs could be likely.
Greg Jones, interim director for the WestGate @ Crane Authority, said that many of the contractors are waiting to see what happens.

Description & Biology
The white pine weevil (Pissodes strobi), which kills the tops of conifers, is the most serious insect pest of white pine in Maine. The weevil also attacks Norway spruce, Colorado blue spruce, jack pine, red pine, Scotch pine, mugho pine and native spruces.
Adults become active in late March to mid-April and are found mating and feeding on the bark of terminal leaders. Eggs are laid from mid-April through June in the bark of the previous year's leader. Upon hatching, grubs start tunneling downward under the bark. As they progress, the grubs gather in a feeding ring which effectively girdles the leader. Typically, the top 1-1/2 to 2 feet of the main stem is killed, although severe attack may result in the loss of 2 to 3 years of growth. Weevils usually do not attack trees less than 4 to 5 years old, or less than 3 feet tall. Infested trees exhibit a wilting and browning leader, usually by July. Weeviled trees eventually develop two leaders and a bushy appearance, thus reducing the value of ornamental trees. Trees are rarely killed by the weevils.
Mature grubs bore slightly into the woody stem where they form fibrous chip cells in which they pupate. By mid-July, some weevils have moved into the adult stage and emerge from weevil-infested leaders. These new adults feed on the new shoots from late September to early October in upper 1/3 of the crown. Usually by November, all weevils have entered the ground litter, often at the base of host trees, to over-winter.
Preventive Pruning of Infested Leaders
At low infestation levels, prompt removal and burning of infested leaders before the weevils emerge reduces the chance of population buildup. Prune infested leaders at a point below the tunneling grubs, at least including some green bark at the base of injury. Immediately burn cut leaders to destroy the larvae and pupae. Wilting leaders may be detected in June and July, but be sure to prune by mid-July to prevent emergence of adults.
Pruning infested leaders early in the season before completion of new shoot growth promotes establishment of a new dominant branch and correction of the stem form. Early pruning also prevents the grubs from penetrating the node of the first whorl of branches, reducing the amount of weevil-induced damage.
Cultural Control Methods
One alternative for preventive pruning is to avoid planting white pine or spruce in areas of high weevil hazard. In addition, bear in mind that heavy clay soils and densely sodded fields might increase the chance of weevil attack.
Close spacing of trees in a plantation stimulates height growth and natural pruning of weevil-attacked trees. In addition, the physical characteristics of bark in dense or overtopped stands reduces the likelihood of adult weevil attack and subsequent brood development.
Partial shade helps protect the leaders from weevil attack by encouraging less preferred bark thickness and bark temperature. Overtopping hardwoods or other conifer species help protect young pine and spruce when in the greatest need of protection. Overtopping tree density should provide 45 to 50 percent shade until the young trees are released when 16 to 18 feet high. However, the disadvantages of partial shade, reduced rate of growth and whipping injury, must be kept in mind.
Placing tanglefoot or other sticky substances on the wrapped leader, or wrapping tape with the sticky side out around the leader, may also prevent infestation. Never lace sticky materials directly on the tree, as injury may result.
Corrective Pruning
Corrective pruning of injured tops should remove all but a single, dominant shoot (one of the smallest) at the topmost healthy whorl. This promotes healing, resumption of vertical growth and straightening of stem form. Corrective pruning may be postponed until the year after weevil injury to ensure that at least one lateral branch survives ice and snow damage or repeated weevil attacks the following year.

49th Street Phase II Update
Commencement of the Phase II utility work and closures of 49th Street will be delayed until the morning of Friday, June 13. During this phase of construction and utility work, 49th Street will be closed from the western entrance of Lot 8 (second entrance away from the alumni center) to Bluestone Avenue. Bluestone also will be closed during this time.
The duration of this closure will be approximately 35 days.
Lots 8 and 5 will be accessible from Hampton Boulevard and from the east end of 49th Street during this second phase of construction by using the Lot 8 entrance next to the alumni center. It should be noted that once utility work is complete this will be the only entrance to Lots 5 and 8 off of 49th Street. In reconfiguring and expanding Lot 8, the existing second entrance to Lot 8 and the access road to Lot 5 will be eliminated.
Vehicles bound for Lot 5 will be able to access it via a new passage that will be cut through the sidewalk in the northwest corner of Lot 8. The graphic labeled "Parking Lots 5 and 8 During Phase II Utility Work" shows the new permanent entrance to Lot 5, the temporary entrance, which will be in place while the permanent entrance is constructed, and traffic flow through Lot 8. Please note that the temporary entrance to Lot 5 will be single lane. This construction is expected to take approximately three weeks, so during this period personnel entering and exiting Lot 5 must exercise extreme caution. The new entrance will be two lanes.
The graphic also shows that a portion of Lot 8 on the west side of the existing traffic island will be closed to parking while utilities are brought across the island and work is done to reconfigure the parking lot. These parking spots will be made available again in approximately three weeks.

18 December 2012
Figures from the Health Protection Agency (HPA) show that there were 337 confirmed laboratory reports of norovirus in the week ending December 9 2012 and 236 for the week ending 2 December 2012. The latest weekly report is now published.
In this season to date there have been 3,046 confirmed laboratory reports of norovirus. This is 83 per cent higher than the same period in the last season when there were 1,669 cases reported.
The figures for the number of hospital outbreaks show that there were 61 hospital outbreaks during the last two weeks up to December 16 2012. In the same fortnight in the previous year there were 35 outbreaks reported by the same time.
The data show that the increase in norovirus laboratory reports is earlier this season than in previous years; however, there are no indications as to why this is the case.
In the same weeks in 2011/2012 there were 257 laboratory reports and during the 2009/2010 season, which saw a lot more activity than in previous years when there were 469. In this year the majority of the cases occurred in January onwards.
No two years of norovirus activity are alike and these figures represent a small fraction of the number of confirmed cases that are seen during the peak months, which usually occur between January and April.
Laboratory confirmed reports represent only a small proportion of the actual amount of norovirus activity in the community, because the vast majority of affected people do not access health care services as a result of their illness. It has been estimated that for every confirmed case there are around 288 unreported cases*.
Norovirus is highly contagious and can be transmitted by contact with an infected person; by contact with contaminated surfaces or objects or by consuming contaminated food or water. The virus spreads rapidly in closed environments such as hospitals, schools and care homes.
Symptoms of norovirus include a sudden onset of vomiting and/or diarrhoea. Some people may have a temperature, headache and stomach cramps. The illness usually resolves in one or two days and there are no long-term effects.
John Harris, an expert in norovirus at the HPA said: "The number of laboratory confirmed cases has risen again, following the drop in the number we reported last week. This is typical of the norovirus season where the number of laboratory reports fluctuates between October and April with the bulk of cases usually occurring between January and March.
"Norovirus is very contagious so we would urge anyone who thinks they may be unwell with norovirus to stay at home and stay away from hospitals and care homes.
"The infection is short-lived although it is very unpleasant while you are unwell. Most people will not need to go to see their doctor and will recover in a couple of days. It is important to take plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration."

Even for a filmmaker known as someone who drastically skews perspectives and storytelling methods, obscuring his art while illuminating, Terrence Malick's "The New World" presents an unusual method of telling a familiar core story. With another filmmaker, we might simply get the straightforward tale of John Smith and Pocahontas, Malick sees the beginning of a unique and troubled union, not only between the star-crossed lovers, but between the spirits of two civilizations and their relationships with the land.
Characters make rash decisions in "The New World," mostly for pride, some oblivious to their actual situation. But there's an overwhelming natural curiosity that permeates the film, from the way the brook babbles to the sound of bare feet against leaves. In some ways, it is the best contemporary depiction of a topsy-turvy time in our history, when we were trying to find the middle ground between diplomacy and discovery. There is awe, not just at this new, seemingly-unfettered land, but in how our characters learn of their capacity to care. Considering the paucity of Thanksgiving-related programming, it's a surprise "The New World" hasn't become a seasonal tradition for those seeking reasons why we convene at that time in good faith.
"The Tree Of Life" expands into wide release on July 8th. To commemorate what, to many, is the year's biggest cinematic event, we've been taking a look back at each of Malick's previous films. We've already gone behind the scenes with "Badlands," taken a close look at "Days Of Heaven," discovered the world of "The Thin Red Line," and gone knee-deep into "The Tree Of Life." And now, a peek behind the curtain of "The New World."
1. Terrence Malick Demanded An Almost Fanatical Approach To Historical Accuracy
Just as Terrence Malick's vision for a film titled "Q" eventually morphed into the Palme d'Or winner that's currently in theaters, "The New World" was also something the director was thinking about decades ago. In fact, the script was completed in the late '70s. "I was pushing him for twenty years to do 'The New World.' I kept telling him, 'Do the Pocahontas one. That's the one,' " longtime editor Billy Weber said on the Criterion "Days of Heaven" DVD commentary, noting the script was ready after the completion of 'Heaven.' But as is Malick's wont, he let the project germinate and gestate, and one can only imagine how many variations of approaches he considered before finally settling on one that would embody as much historical accuracy as possible.
Malick's eye for detail did not abandon him during "The New World," but what's fascinating about his process is the relation between the reality of time and place and the mythical attributes that are his trademark aesthetic. Production took place in James City, County Virginia, less than ten miles away from the original events that inspired the film. To capture the atmosphere, the production hosted an intensive extras camp for all the native actors to teach them how stand, move, act and speak like natives would have 400 years ago.
Teaching the cast the Powhaten dialect was also no idle feat. "It's completely unusual that a language that ceased to be spoken is going to be revived for the purposes of a film, in order to bring the authenticity of having the people speak the language that was really being spoken here," Blair Rhuds, the on-set Algonquian translator noted on the BluRay. "This film is making a great deal of effort to be as authentic as possible in terms of representing the native people of historic Virginia."
The emphasis on accuracy also made a deeply positive impression on Chief Robert Green, who heads the Patawomeck Tribe, and who offered some unique help to the production free of charge. "I was very honored in June [of 2004] to be invited to a meeting with the production staff and other chiefs in Virginia, to simply review what the movie was going to be about and how it was it was going to be presented," said Green. "And during our discussions, they expressed some concern to me that they were having difficulty finding some wild turkey feathers and deer antlers for the purposes of costume construction. Fortunately for me, I have a lot of friends that are very good hunters and at that time I had about twelve boxes of wild turkey feathers and sixty to seventy sets of antlers in my shed. [Costume designer] Jackie [West] so impressed me with the research and the honesty that she was attempting to portray, that I offered to give them to her so that the costumes could be as authentic as possible to ensure that our people would be accurately represented."
Malick even went to the trouble of finding the precise species of bird that inhabited the region during the settlers' journeys. According to a piece in Reverse Shot, a researcher was ordered by Malick to fill the picture's soundscape with the sounds of only the types of birds that could have existed there during that period. Those recordings wound up providing the majority of the film's soundtrack.
However, for some of the actors, all this preparation was academic as much of their education was snipped from the film. Wes Studi was one of the actors tasked with modifying and altering the language to make it sound authentic, but, as usual for Malick, a lot of that hit the cutting room floor."I have to tell you I'm a bit disappointed that so much of that particular re-invented language wasn't used in the film because there's a lot of dialogue missing from this theatrical release...," Studi told About. "A lot of effort was put into the re-creation of this language, as well as...around the Indian community, it was touted as having a lot to do with that language and the use of it."
2. The Seal Of Approval From Native Americans Was Imperative
Producer Sarah Green insisted that the production gain the approval of nearby tribes. "We invited the chiefs and assistant chiefs and representatives of the native tribes in all of West Virginia to come and see what we were doing and participate as much as they liked," says Green on BluRay. "And we had wonderful, wonderful participation from several of them."
But initially, the production didn't win over all the significant parties. "In April 2004 ... I became aware that there will be a film production company in Virginia that would be filming a [feature] length movie called 'The New World,'" said Chief Stephen R. Adkins of the Chickahominy Tribe. "My initial reaction to the term 'New World' was one of, 'Hey, what's new about it, we've been here 15,000 years' and it really rubbed me wrong that the title of this movie would be 'New World.' So it started out on the wrong foot. I did in fact talk with Terry Malick and he said I think you'll be pleased with the twist we put on the title 'New World.'"
Some of the tribe members got to be extras and players in the film, but it became a struggle between fidelity to the project and honor to their background.
"I had a hair issue," said Anthony Parker, a local extra from the Omaha tribe. "I didn't want to cut my hair because for my tribe and our beliefs, we only cut our hair when someone close to us dies. I kind of had to do some soul searching about it, but I had to realize who I was representing here and it does the Algonquin people and the Powhaten...it does them justice. It's kind of like a tribute to them."
Producer Sarah Green confirmed the follicle issue with many cast members. "The Patawomeck Indians of that day shaved their head right down the middle and would take off one whole side," she said. "This had a very practical application which had to do with their long hair not interfering with their bow and arrow, and it defined their tribal look. I don't think any of us had realized what a personal sacrifice this was going to be."
3. Q'orianka Kilcher Had No Idea Who Colin Farrell & Christian Bale Were
Casting for a Malick picture is never a straightforward process. Though producers labored in finding the ideal Pocahontas to stand up to John Smith and company, their eventual choice, Q'orianka Kilcher, proved to be a boon, as she projected both an earthy beauty and natural intelligence that made her character compellingly watchable.
"The great challenge of this movie was finding an actress to play Pocahontas," confirms producer Sarah Green on the BluRay. "We searched for eight months starting in Virginia, moving throughout the United States and North America and eventually through the whole world. It was only in the last month that our casting director -- who was also casting for a different project in a very different sort of role -- noticed the headshot of Q'orianka Kilcher who had been living in Los Angeles this whole time. We happened to be doing a camera test so we said 'Oh come, stand in front of this 35mm camera with no makeup and just [be] yourself, and see what happens.' And I tell you, when we screened that footage, she just jumped off the screen at us."
Some of that footage is on the extensive "Making Of" documentary on "The New World" BluRay, and it is definitely quite stirring; if Malick was searching for someone who would project the wide-eyed innocence the character needed, he couldn't have done much better than Kilcher. For starters, she hadn't seen any of his films (not surprising given her age), and didn't really seek them out until after filming was over, telling Cinematical, "I watched 'The Thin Red Line'; I tried to track down [Malick's] other movies ('Days of Heaven' and 'Badlands'), but they didn't have them at Blockbuster…I'm really looking forward to watching 'Badlands.'"
Moreover, she didn't get the fuss her friends were making about her hunky co-stars. "You know, I didn't know who [Colin Farrell] was before. When I got on set of course everybody was like, 'Oh my god, you're working with Colin Farrell and Christian Bale!' [Farrell] was really wonderful, a very giving actor and he was like my older brother in a way," Kilcher told About. "He took me under his wing and he taught me so much in acting and [was] very supportive. And Christian Bale and Wes Studi and Augi Schellenberg, they were all so good at what they did and it was such an honor for me. I felt so lucky just to be on set being able to watch all these actors work."
But when it came to the task at hand, Kilcher had just as much, if not more homework than her new colleagues saying, "I learned the entire script in a perfect British accent. Then, strip that away for the first 60 pages and learn Algonquin, and I actually made myself learn Algonquin because that's her native language so I really would know what I was saying. And then strip half of the Algonquin away and then do different stages of Algonquin mixed with English. So that was definitely very challenging."

James Horner has talent but he recycles so much of his music that there are unintentional references to other movies in many of his scores, very distracting and in a movie like this unforgivable. Better to have left all his music out than to have a quote from Braveheart in the middle of the movie.

Oh, and the finale of this movie is one of the great five to ten minutes ever shot .... and scored.
K. Bowen | July 8, 2011 8:59 AM
Horner is an idiot.
It doesn't surprise me at all that he was replaced by Wagner, et al.
Malick has always moved around the score. He did it with Morricone's score on Days of Heaven. How'd that work out?
Pah shu akah o wah | July 8, 2011 5:18 AM
Viewing from the point of perspective of one of Dakota blood, one sees how Europeans could have learned so much from us, and chose to consider us inferior, it's no wonder we now suffer from global warming, and are tied to foreign oil. We lived with nature, wasted nothing, and spoiled nothing. This film shows how beautiful our lives were, John Smith's actual writings echo this.
MDL | July 7, 2011 5:41 AM
It's so interesting to read about all these egos working with Malick. He goes his own way but a few people who work with him never figure that out. So naturally they complain. But, man, the results are often great. Wong kar-wai is the same.
carrie | July 7, 2011 5:13 AM
i dislike Farrell in this movie,his acting may be good but he has a "rock&roll; " vibe who doesn't work with his character
the story with Plummer and Horner is interesting
cirkusfolk | July 7, 2011 4:10 AM
Am I the only one that agrees with Horner? If you are gonna hire a composer and actually want his/her music to be integral to the film, they should have as much access to your vision as possible. You shouldn't change the film and scenes around and not tell them, and then cut up the music which was composed specific to the scenes and throw it anywhere you want including the cutting room floor. This will most definately not make for a good patnership. Imagine if Chris Nolan did this with Hans Zimmer. No, they work together to achieve the perfect synthesis. If I recall, Hans Zimmer had a similar problem with The Thin Red Line. He composed over three times the amount of music that was actually used. And what he did score wasn't even put to the same images he scored the music to. Sure the director has final creative say, but comon, let them do the job you hired them for.
And I wouldn't knock Horner if I were you. He made the best score of all time in my opinion with Legends of the Fall. Then has done outstanding work like Glory, Braveheart, Apollo 13, Field of Dreams, Enemy at the Gates, Titanic etc.

I laughed out loud several times.
Edward Davis | July 7, 2011 2:05 AM
Annoying is Malick-ites assuming Horner, Plummer and anyone around this genius is wrong. I adore his films, but from all the evidence around he sounds like a bit of a nightmare to work for. But maybe if you know what you're getting into it's not so bad.
Kelly | July 7, 2011 2:01 AM
It is an incredible film...Not like anything else and it kind of creeps up on you...Horner was wrong, the Mozart and Wagner belong to that picture much more than his score.
Glass | July 7, 2011 1:46 AM
A good movie, but WTF is with that 1990s-History Channel opening credit sequence? That put the audience right to sleep when I first saw it.
I don't mean that in a sort of "blow something up in the first five minutes or you'll lose your audience" kind of way. I mean, what a bland and distracting choice that was. Didn't fit the rest of the picture at all. Again, a good movie, but my least favorite of his.
James | July 7, 2011 1:42 AM
It would appear Horner simply didn't understand Malick's use of music because it's unconventional. Alexandre Desplat had no such problems working with Malick, or with having much of his score left unused. He realized what an honor it was to have any of his music in a film by such an artist. An infinitely more intelligent man than Horner, it would seem.
James | July 7, 2011 1:40 AM
I think the 150 min cut is far and away the best. I saw it in theaters twice. A shame it's the most difficult to see now. The only commercial releases of it were as a bonus Digital Copy download with the theatrical cut DVD in the US and as part of an OOP Italian DVD set including both the 150 min and 135 min cuts.
To me the 135 min cut takes all the bad reviews to heart and makes the film overly literal and simplistic. The altered voiceover is a mistake, and one of the key shots of the film - the Inuit girl dancing on the beach in Greenland towards the end, who looks just like Pocahontas - is deleted. The loss of that one shot ruins the whole movie for me. The look on Farrell's face as he watches her, realizing everything he left behind and can never recapture, was the soul of the film. Malick at least restored that shot for the final version.
The 172 min cut, on the other hand, rambles all over the place and introduces bizarre jump cuts in many scenes that weren't there in either earlier cut. It's the closest to the 150 min version though, so definitely better than the 135 min cut.
The Playlist | July 7, 2011 1:26 AM
Thanks to @ rotch for giving us the head's up about Plummer. Had read that before, but had totally forgotten about it. We added it to this piece just after it published. Thanks again.
BuntyHoven | July 7, 2011 1:10 AM
Horner's comments are bizarre. Malick is among the best users of music in film. And the Wagner piece that he badmouths plays over some of the most memorable sequences.
I've listened to a fair amount of Horner's score, and aside from quite a nice love theme, it's not particularly good. It wouldn't surprise me if Malick just didn't like Horner's score and that's why he didn't use much of it.

James Horner sounds like a dick and someone with a very narrow view on what a movie should be.

James Horner sounds like a MEGA-TOOL.

@ Daniel
He unleashed 'my heart will go on' to the world.
I kid, I like many of Horner's scores.
Daniel | July 6, 2011 11:09 AM
Rotch - what did James Horner do to you?
dudu | July 6, 2011 10:46 AM
I've re-evaluated the film a great deal after watching the extended cut. It's an excellent film, and a wonderful portrait of a woman.

A Level results 'stable' with 97.6% pass rate
Almost 36,000 students entered A Level examinations this year and 97.6 per cent achieved A* to E grades.
The Joint Council for Qualifications says the pass rate remained in line with that of 2012, with the percentage of candidates gaining A* grades also stable at six per cent.
The percentage getting A or A* is down for the fourth successive year at 22.9 per cent, compared with 23.6 per cent last year. It was 25 per cent back in 2009. Girls continue to outperform boys with 98.1 per cent of girls achieving A* to E grades, compared to 97 per cent of boys.
A total of 10,362 students completed the Welsh Baccalaureate, with 82.7 per cent of candidates awarded the Advanced Diploma, down slightly from 82.8 per cent last year. The number of students receiving the Advanced Core Certificate rose from 87.6 per cent last year to 88.4 per cent.

A note on the refrigerator - there is no freezer section in it. One of the people we were traveling with used insulin and needed to keep ice packs frozen to take his insulin on the islands. There was no facility to freeze the packs. He went to the purser's desk to inquire, he was told to call room service to have them frozen. When he called room service, the girl who answered said she had never heard of this and would ask her supervisor. They called back and said they cannot freeze the packs. He took the packs down to the Medical Office and the doctor was very accommodating. However, the medical office is only open certain hours that were not always conducive to when we got off the ship. Our friend again went to the front desk one day later to advise them that room service would not freeze the packs for him. They apologized and told him he should have been properly told to call housekeeping. When he did, they quickly sent our room steward to take the packs and she returned them frozen every morning. (But the people at the purser's desk also told a passenger to go to the Medical Office to get a pair of cuff links for his tuxedo. When the poor doctor had no idea what the man why they sent him there for cuff links, passenger flew into a tirade at the poor doctor instead of going back to the front desk.) Food: We were assigned to early dining in Isaacs Dining room at table 478 with Reimos from the Philippines as our waiter and Dube from South Africa as our Assistant Waiter. They were delightful, efficient and polite. Up until this cruise, our favorite food of all cruise lines we have been on was Celebrity. The food on this ship finally held up to our experience with Celebrity. (We sailed RCCL four years ago on the Sovereign of the Seas and did not like the food). There was nothing we had in either our dining room or Windjammers that we did not like. Desserts were especially wonderful in both venues and there were plenty of sugar free desserts for those who cannot eat sweets. Formal nights were Monday and Thursday. Lobster was on the menu Thursday night. We ate one night at Chops and one at Portofino. Service was excellent at both restaurants, but we enjoyed Chops more than Portofino. Portofino was good but we expected an experience similar to that of Princess' Sabatini's and were disappointed that is was not the same. The desserts in Portofinos were outstanding - try the dessert sampler. In Chops, our group of four had filet mignon and it was cooked to perfection and soft as butter.
We availed ourselves to Sorrentos a few times. Pizza was very good, and there are antipasto and salads to try as well, plus those delicious desserts. We enjoyed sitting at the Cafe Promenade and watching people. Plain coffee in the Cafe is free, specialty coffees have a charge. There are pastries and small sandwiches available that are free. We did not eat at Johnny Rockets, as we found the hamburgers in the Windjammer fine with no extra charges. We also did not try Ben & Jerry's - there was a limited menu of ice cream flavors and we found the ice cream machine on Deck 11 to be just fine to satisfy our ice cream itch. I had one issue with RCCL in the food department that they really need to address - the lack of hand sanitizers. The only hand sanitizers we saw are at the entrance to the Windjammer - one on each side near the wall. The sanitizers are hand wipes and there is a garbage can under them to throw out the wipe. However, of the few people that used the sanitizers, if you stopped to wipe your hands and throw out the wipe in the can, you started blocking the people that were coming in behind you. If you take the wipe into the Windjammer and wipe your hands as you walk - there is no garbage can to throw them in. There should be more sanitizers and they should be the gel type so there is no need to throw anything out - it is more environmental friendly as well. The sanitizers should be at every spot that dishes are picked up, as they are on other cruise ships. Twice we sat near the entrance and counted how many people used a sanitizer and by our counts, only 3 out of 10 people used the wipes when walking in. I blame the location, since a few times I walked past them and had to go back. This is a noro-virus outbreak waiting to happen.
The ship: What can I say - the ship is magnificent. Whoever invented the Flow Rider is a genius. I could have spent all my free time watching people try boogie boarding and stand up surfing. It was fabulous and one of the coolest spots on the ship on a day at sea with a beautiful breeze going. People started out not doing too well and by the end of the week, those same people were doing tricks. A lot of bathing suits were lost (ladies - do what RCCL recommends and wear a t-shirt over your suit!). Everyone had a chance and the staff that manned the Flow Rider was great, especially with the kids. We tried mini-golf a few times, but it was just too backed up with people during the times we tried. The Rock Climbing wall was interesting, but open only limited hours. There was also a basketball court. Pools - there are three different pool areas. The first is the H2O Zone for kids. Kids (and grown ups) loved it. The second area is the Sports Pool and has some hot tubs. That is where the contests are held. There are two pools in that area. Finally, the third pool area is the adults only Solarium, with two hot tubs that jut out the side of the ship. I do have to say the staff controlled the area and made sure there were no children swimming in the pool. On sea days, the pools were mobbed. The Promenade was very striking - it felt more like walking though a Mall than being on a cruise ship. Many parties and events were held here at night, such as a Dance Party and a Circus. They were delightful to watch, but it gets too crowded. Not for the claustrophobic. If you don't like being in crowds there are many other spots to watch these events from - on decks 6, 7 and 8 you can watch from the forward section of the ship and on the aft side, there are chairs in the library and Internet Cafe that overlook the Promenade as well as several "balconies" near the elevators that one or two people can stand in and watch. In my opinion, some of the stores in the Promenade were wasted. The Logo shop sold limited items - I was looking for tee shirts appropriate for 10 and 11 year olds and there was a very limited selection. The stores that carried sundries also were limited - I needed a bottle of hair conditioner and they didn't carry any. There is a shop that sells RCCL branded sports clothing that hardly anyone was in. Not many men availed themselves to "A Clean Shave". There was what appeared to be a book store next to the Cafe Promenade that I never saw open. In speaking to a few passengers what I realized is missing on the ship is an appropriate sized venue for passengers that like to dance. The bars and clubs were terribly small. For example, there were many Latin Americans on our cruise and Boleros had wonderful Latin music with a too small dance floor. People were dancing in the walkways on Deck 5 because there was insufficient room in Boleros - which is too bad because that was the place we enjoyed most watching people dance. The Crypt seemed to be the most crowded spot and is a must see, even if you don't like to club. It was very unique.

Critical Feedback Wanted - New to This.
I'm pretty new to programming and PHP. This is the first language that I am attempting to learn (aside from HTML and CSS).
Part of this script was taken off the net, part of it I wrote. It is used to pull some information from a youtube feed and then input that data dynamically into a jQuery rotator.
I'm just looking for some constructive criticism if anyone is bored. Just want to get better at this. :-)
<?php function some_video_rotator() { //these are the settings for your youtube feed and display $settings = array( 'user' => 'ayoutubeuser', //YouTube user 'limit' => 5, //number of videos to pull 'width' => 300, //width of video in pixels 'height' => 200 //height of video in pixels ); //this is the youtube api feed data location, stored as an array in '$data' $data = @json_decode(file_get_contents('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/'.$settings['user'].'/uploads?alt=json'), TRUE); // some definitions... $counter = 0; $a = 0; $url_store = array(); $title_store = array(); $ycontent_store = array(); foreach($data['feed']['entry'] as $vid) { // as $a increments it asigns each video url to the $url_store array... // this functions for the title and video as well $a++; $url = $vid['media$group']['media$content'][0]['url']; $url_store[$a] = $url; //assigns to $title_store array $title = $vid['title']['$t']; $title_store[$a] = $title; // assigns to $ycontent_store array $ycontent = $vid['content']['$t']; $ycontent_store[$a] = $ycontent; // counter was set at '0'. This says if counter is equal to the 'limit' (in settings // to break the increase counting. $counter++; if($counter == $settings['limit']) { break; } } ?>
Thoughts anyone? Thanks in advance.

The Pittsburgh Steelers ruined the plan.
On Sunday Night Football, all the Cincinnati Bengals needed to do was beat the Steelers and they would take over the No. 2 seed in the AFC. But 21 first-quarter points from Pittsburgh put the Bengals in a hole they could not dig themselves out of, and the Steelers earned themselves a 30-20 victory.
It started with a Le'Veon Bell touchdown run, but Antonio Brown was the real star early on. He caught a touchdown to put the Steelers up 14-0 and then returned a punt 67 yards to the house to extend Pittsburgh's lead to 21 points.
At that point, it was clear the Bengals are a team that struggles to play with a deficit. Andy Dalton didn't have the full trust of the coaching staff. The game plan stayed conservative, and Cincinnati's offense was stagnant. It took a special teams spark to get the Bengals within striking distance of the end zone, and Giovani Bernard managed to punch in the touchdown.
The Bengals started to fight back after halftime, but it was futile. With a dwindling crowd at Heinz Field, Dalton threw two touchdowns in the second half, but a few field goals from the Steelers kept the lead at a comfortable distance.
Instead of taking over the No. 2 seed in the AFC, Cincinnati stays right where it was to start the night. The AFC North division is still technically up for grabs, and Pittsburgh is still mathematically alive for the playoffs.
That wasn't what the Bengals had in mind.
Fantasy Studs and Duds
Antonio Brown was a stud for the Steelers, just as he has been all season long. He scored two touchdowns for fantasy owners, which is enough to satisfy those lucky enough to make it to the postseason.
Did They Cover?
The Bengals were 1.5-point favorites, according to OddsShark.com, so they did not manage to cover the spread.
Up Next
The Bengals play the Vikings in Cincinnati on Sunday, December 22 at 1:00 PM EST.
The Steelers head to Green Bay to take on the Packers, next Sunday at 4:25 PM EST.

Status: Bill Porter, director of public works, said the city put up additional signs a few months ago and added warning signs on the bridge.
"I don't see how you could possibly sign it better than it is signed now," he said.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

About IRIS Connect
More about IRIS Connect
IRIS Connect unlocks a school's collective capacity and supports the development of an open culture rich in professional capital. The system allows schools to work together to deliver practical teaching and learning support which is purposeful, reflective, authentic and contextualised.
The cloud based system and mobile camera technology enables teachers to securely capture, view and share practice. Going beyond simply video, the observational tools enable users to give and receive contextualised feedback by applying time linked written, audio or video notes. The additional use of forms, instruments and reports provide a greater insight and support a rich contextualised dialogue around practice.
By enabling immediate feedback and reflective comments tagged to moments in the lesson, the need to rely on memory is eliminated. This immediacy and contextualisation of feedback impacts the rate of change and improvement significantly.
For senior and middle leaders:
IRIS Connect reduces the cost and increases the impact of lesson observations and professional development by enabling schools to:
- Assess the impact of CPD activities over time
- Harness their collective capacity to support in-house staff development
- Develop a common language and framework of what great teaching looks like in practice
- Use everyday lessons as a multiple resource overtime
- Empower teachers with a personalised, contextualised CPD tool
For teachers:
The collaborative CPD system ensures all teachers have access to excellent practice; where they can undertake self-directed and personalised CPD; and capture their everyday lessons in a secure environment in which they can purposefully reflect and share with colleagues when appropriate.
IRIS Connect raises the standard of reflective dialogue teachers are able to have. By enabling teachers to see what others see they can understand and reflect on their own practices gaining deeper levels of personal insight and raised self-awareness.

---- — Attorney General Martha Coakley is suing Lawrence Mayor William Lantigua over a $5,000 fine he has refused to pay for campaign finance violations.
Coakley announced the suit earlier today with a press release in which she said the suit is seeking a court order for Lantigua to pay his fines and to file his 2011 campaign finance report, the violation that elicited the fines.
"Political candidates by law are required to accurately report campaign contributions and expenditures," Coakley said in her statement. "These disclosures ensure the integrity of the electoral system and help voters make informed decisions about who to support. Mayor Lantigua was ordered repeatedly to file these disclosures and pay the subsequent fine, yet has refused to do so. We are now seeking a court order compelling him to make these fundamental disclosures required of all political candidates."
The lawsuit was filed today in Suffolk Superior Court requesting that the court order him to file his 2011 year-end campaign finance report with OCPF. Ana Soto, Treasurer of the Lantigua Committee, which raises and spends money in support of the Mayor's candidacy, is also named in the lawsuit, Coakley's statement said.
Under M.G.L. c. 55, § 18, Lantigua and Soto are required to file reports of the Lantigua Committee with OCPF to disclose the donations made to the campaign, as well as the campaign's expenditures.
At the same time, State House Minority Leader Brad Jones and newly elected Methuen Rep. Diana DiZoglio said today they plan to file legislation to prevent local-level politicians who ignore state campaign finance laws from running for office.
OCPF Director Michael Sullivan sent a second investigation request to Coakley in June, asking her to take "the strongest possible action" against the mayor and a handful of other elected officials for their failures to file forms disclosing fund-raising and spending by their campaign organizations in 2011. The form was due Jan. 20, 2012, and were not filed as of Monday, making them 50 weeks overdue.
For failing to file those reports, OCPF has assessed a $5,000 fine, the maximum allowed. In August, after Lantigua disregarded OCPF's attempts to collect the fine, the agency turned the debt over to a private collection agency. Lantigua is personally responsible for paying the fine and cannot pass it off to his campaign organization.
Lantigua, who ran for mayor in 2009 and took office in January 2010, also has not filed two disclosure forms due since his 2009 mayoral campaign.

What is a Certified Farmers' Market?
A certified farmers' market (CFM) is a location approved by the County Agricultural Commissioner where certified farmers offer for sale only those agricultural products they grow themselves, or products from another certified farmer.
What is a Certified Producer (Farmer)?
Inspectors from the Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measures inspect farms and other properties to verify what is raised or grown there. After satisfactorily meeting the requirements of the inspection, the farmer is certified for specific products. This certification allows the farmer to sell his produce at Certified Farmers' Markets.

Natural, Organic, Sustainable, What do They Mean?
The definition of natural depends on who is defining the word. U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the United States Department of Agriculture do not have an official definition for the word. When it comes time to use the term, natural, both regulatory units evaluate the products on a case by case basis. Natural according to the USDA is defined as not adding any flavoring, color, chemical preservatives or artificial or synthetic ingredients to the raw product. This definition only applies to meat and poultry. A natural product is minimally processed and does not alter the raw version.
Organic farming relies on practices such as using cultural and biological pest management, elimination of all hormones, antibiotics, and synthetic chemicals in crop and livestock production. Products, producers, and their farms must meet United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) specific standards to be labeled as organic. Farmers must go through a certification program to have their farm classified as organic. Meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products can be classified organic if no antibiotics or growth hormones have been given to the animal during its entire life. Feed for these animals must also be grown organically. A USDA organic certifier will inspect the farm and ensure the farmer is following all organic standards.
There are three different types of organic labels for products. Labeling requirements are based on the percentage of organic ingredients in the product. '100 percent Organic' labeled products must contain only organic ingredients approved by the USDA. Products labeled 'Organic' contain at least 95 percent ingredients produced organically. The 'Made with Organic' label is used for processed products that contain at least 70 percent organic ingredients.
Finally, sustainable has no hard and fast definition. Sustainable foods are usually raised by farmers that promote the health of animals, land, environment, and community. Sustainable farming is more of a way of life and does not have any sort of certification. Animals must be able to carry out natural behaviors such as rooting and grazing. Sustainable farms produce and sell products that are sold as close to the farm as possible. Consumers can partake in sustainable practices by buying local and eating seasonally.
So remember, next time you hear someone talk about these three types of farming practices, make sure to educate them on the proper definition.

New & Need Help!
Hey Everyone! Love this forum. I'm hoping you all can help me out. I am currently using Miva Merchant. It's A LOT of manual work when you need to put an item on sale, update product information and so on.
I was looking at Volusion- however the reviews now have me scared. We signed up for a monthly plan- this way we could test things. I still have a gut feeling this isn't the right cart for us.
I tried looking into other shopping carts and was quickly over whelmed. I thought the best thing to do would ask you all for help!
The main thing I need the shopping cart to do is allow customers to have an auto-ship order (recurring order). Where the customer picks products they want, then selects the weekly intervals they would like and we do the rest. (Well the system does)
Any suggestions would be really helpful. or any positive feedback on Volusion?
The website I'm managing is www.waggintails.com

8am - 4pm pacific time
Spicy and deeply complex, this honey has been supporting the export economy of the small southern Pacific island of Tasmania for over 100 years. The flavor is very fine with a subtle spice and savory quality - the sweetness is certainly present but seems to dominate the flavor less than say, clover honey. The flavor is best appreciated spread on warm toast or plain scones - but we've used it in a honey cake recipe to GREAT success.
Blossoming from huge trees which can grow to 100 feet, the white flowers of the Leatherwood tree are the source for 70% of Tasmania's honey. Leatherwood honey is appreciated the world over for its unique flavor and heady, floral aroma. Because very little and low heat is used in the "harvesting" of the honey, the crystal structure is extremely fine. This results in a honey that is rich and spreadable at room temperature.
Below are the available bulk discount rates for each individual item when you purchase a certain amount

I first tried it about 6 years ago and was a bit taken aback by its richness. Since realised that all other honey is sugary and feeble by comparison. Manuka included. The honey by which all other honey should be judged in my opinion.
Posted by Wayne Guy on 17th Oct 2012
I'm a Tasmanian, living in California for the past 16 years. I've missed Tasmanian Leatherwood Honey and am delighted to see it at Market Hall Foods.
The Japanese have a name for Tasmania that translates as "The Island Closest to Heaven". That being the case this honey would have to be the nectar of the gods.
It's not a honey for everyone as it has a definite, unusual flavor, but in my opinion, it makes every other honey taste ordinary.
I love it, my wife doesn't. You should experience this for yourself.
Posted by Gus W on 23rd Apr 2012
This indeed is pretty unique honey. Spicey, flowery and has the loveliest orange colour. The moment you open it and just smell it you know you're in for a treat. In fact, it's so tasty I just keep the tin handy and have a teaspoonful every day -- on its own, without anything else. The packaging's pretty, too. Makes a wonderful and unique gift for someone with the sweet tooth.
Posted by Gail on 28th May 2010
I travel all over the world and seek out honey wherever I go. I'm a hobby beekeeper and honey fanatic. This is by far, the most exquisite honey you will ever try. The Leatherwood flower produces a beautiful, floral honey that is not cloyingly sweet like so many other honeys I've tried. I've tried the other honey offerings from Tasmanian Honey Company and they are also fabulous..wish MarketHall Foods would stock them...Meadowood and Christmas Honey. My next trip will be to Tasmania!

Mayor Jeanette McCarthy said this week she is open to expanding the city's use of social media platforms to distribute information to its residents but cautioned against potential pitfalls.
"We can't go into it blind. But, we have to look into it," McCarthy said during a Tuesday, Nov. 13 meeting of the city's E-Committee at City Hall.
McCarthy made the comments in response to City Councilor Robert Logan's resolution to beef up the city's use of social media to communicate with residents. The discussion come amidst continuing complaints by city officials and residents that the city has not adequately communicated crucial information to them. For example, the city failed to notify residents of whether trash pickup would be delayed on the day of Hurricane Sandy.
Now, McCarthy said she would like to the city expand use of social media, but must first implement a comprehensive program. She said each department would need a full-time employee to operate social media and would need training and policies to follow. Any social media policy would have to potential legal liability issues and oversight of employees to make sure they are correctly operating their accounts, McCarthy said.
"I got to make sure who is going to use it and how it is used," she said.
Currently, city departments are supposed to forward any info they went distributed on to the public to the city's 911 emergency center, which operates @Waltahm911Disp Twitter account, according to McCarthy. Also, the Waltham Police and Waltham Fire departments both use Twitter to disseminate information to residents and media.
Logan agreed with McCarthy saying accounts would need to be monitored but stressed the city needs to improve its overall communication with residents and use social media to do it.

Winner gets a box of goodies from me -- probably including baked goods of some sort -- and the chance to say, as The Boy has recently learned to do, "Winner winner chicken dinner!"

I finished the grading I needed to do, and the quiz scores were strong! The students' parents I contacted responded with equal concern (not attitude) about their children. I am 36 weeks pregnant and still quite comfortable, having only gained 18 pounds (amazing, even to me) and still having no cankles. My husband is buying me coffee for the morning and scratching my sugar craving by getting me a cookie, too. :)
