A new scam, targeting residents in almost every state, has affected several west suburban residents, the Beacon-News is reporting.
Police are investigating several incidents reported by Aurora residents who were contacted by scammers posing as government employees.
The callers often identify themselves as employees of the Internal Revenue Service, and tell victims they owe money or are required to pay fines.
Callers are directed to pay the penalties with Green Dot Money Pak prepaid cards, police said.
According to police, victims are threatened with arrest if they don't comply with the request. They are often directed to local businesses that sell the prepaid Green Dot cards.
Once the cards are purchased, the scammers ask the victims to read the card numbers over the phone. The money is then typically transferred to other prepaid cards, and used to make purchases in other states, police said.
The funds are often used to add money to PayPal accounts, or to make same-day payments to major companies, police said.
Unlike a credit or debit card, once the money is removed from the Green Dot card, it cannot be refunded to the victim.
Green Dot is warning customers to never give out the number to anyone they don't know or trust.
Aurora police remind residents that the IRS does not operate by requiring restitution through Green Dot cards. According to the IRS website, the scam has victimized persons in almost every state. They also urge that if someone receives a call from anyone purporting to be with the IRS, they should call the agency at 800-829-1040 or the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 800-366-4484.
More information on the scam is in the newsroom section of the IRS website at www.irs.gov.

Robert Mokry, a 13-year veteran of High End Systems, has returned to the company effective Oct. 29 to take on new roles associated with the company's restructuring and renewed growth.
Mokry will wear several hats: as High End Systems University director, as a liaison with customer relations, as instigator of special projects and as a general vibe master.
Says John Wiseman, VP of Worldwide Sales, "It's a real pleasure to have Robert back at High End. We're excited that he's going to direct High End University as well as to help foster our customer relations. His depth of knowledge of the industry builds upon the foundation that he helped make solid when he was at High End up until the past few years."
Says Lowell Fowler, Chairman, "Robert was always the most in-tune of our sales staff. We think he will bring harmony to the sales team and our customer base. And we needed another guitar player."
Mokry will be based at the automated lighting manufacturer's headquarters in Austin, Texas.

Octopus Packaging, the compostable packaging supplier, is mourning the loss of founder and director Stuart McLellan, who died in late February. He had worked in the industry for 30 years. Technical director Derek Uttridge said he had pioneered compostable packaging over the past decade.
Gwalia Packaging, the South Wales closure and bottle manufacturer, is to expand and redevelop its manufacturing facility in Pontypridd as part of a £1.5m capital investment following its acquisition of Riverside Plastics in 2007.
Glowcroft, the Suffolk-based contract packer, is back in business after a fire damaged most of its plant and machinery beyond repair. Fourteen fire crews were called to Glowcroft's factory in Needham Market on 21 February.
Greif, the US-based packaging group that specialises in steel, fibre and plastic drums, has reported 13% sales growth in the quarter to 31 January 2008, driven by industrial packaging and higher containerboard prices.
Sharp Interpack has appointed Soluciones Agrícolas as its packaging distributor in Spain. The company also has a new warehouse in Huelva, an area known for soft fruit growing.
Premier Foods, maker of Branston pickle and Hovis bread, said major increases in packaging costs contributed to a pre-tax loss of £73.5m for 2007, announced last month.
The European Commission's 19-point plan to address the challenges faced by forest-based industries could lead to the pulp and paper industries receiving free carbon emission allowances in the future, according to a growth strategy published last month.
UFP, a computer accessories firm, has been fined £18,000 at Bradford Magistrates Court for nine packaging waste offences dating back to 2004. Meanwhile, Chicco UK, the importer of children's toys and nursery products, has been fined £20,000 after it pleaded guilty at Mansfield Magistrates Court to 28 packaging waste offences.
The government has launched a consultation into how local authorities in England could work together to deliver better integrated and cost-effective waste services and save around £150m nationally. More from www.defra.gov.uk

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension launched a program in May aimed at identifying missing persons. On Thursday, they announced their first match.
Over the years, investigators have collected unidentified remains, many of which were found and stored when DNA testing technology was in its infancy. After applying new technology to cold cases and encouraging family members of missing persons to come forward, the BCA made its first match and outlined the lead in a 1993 homicide investigation in Wisconsin.
Pearline Roberta Walton was last seen in the Twin Cities in 1993. Her case has remained open since that year, and the BCA is asking anyone who knew Walton or came in contact with her around the time she went missing to contact 715-485-8366.
"It's been restless," said Wilmeta Walton, Pearline's oldest sister.
Since June of 1993, Wilmeta Walton has prayed the younger sister she knew as Berta would come home.
"It's come to my mind I might end up dying from a broken heart," she said.
For the past 20 years, she hoped to see her again, but on Sept. 29, she and her family learned the unthinkable.
"She was found Nov. 20, 1993 by a deer hunter in a field next to a fence," Wilmeta Walton said.
Pearline Walton's body was discovered in Osceola Township, just east of Dresser, Wis. -- but her family didn't know until they brought DNA samples to the BCA for testing.
"This story shows what one simple cheek swab can do," Catherine Knutson said. "It can be the first step to providing answers and the dignity of returning their names to them."
The Walton family says they do feel relieved and are glad to know investigators put so much effort into the cold case, but the identification is just the beginning of their grieving process.
"We won't have no closure until we find the person that did this," Wilmeta Walton said.
No arrests have been made in the case so far, but the Polk County Sheriff's Office is conducting a thorough investigation. Anyone with information is urged to call 715-485-8300.
A May news release detailed the project's potential to provide closure for many families whose loved ones vanished without explanation.
1. Start by contacting Minnesota Missing & Unidentified Persons Clearinghouse manager Kris Rush email@example.com or by calling 651-793-1118. Be sure to have the missing person's name and date of birth. You will be guided through the necessary steps, including:
2. Confirm that a missing person report is on file with the local law enforcement agency, and that the information was entered into the FBI's NCIC missing person file.
3. Provide a DNA sample and sign a consent form.
4. If available, provide dental records, photos and any items which may contain the missing person's DNA.

Does Google analytics work for s40 apps ? Does anybody tried it ? I tried flurry but it is not working so i trying to switch to google analytics.
Plz guide .
Does Google analytics work for s40 apps ? Does anybody tried it ? I tried flurry but it is not working so i trying to switch to google analytics.
Plz guide .
Yes it works.I use it in my apps.Check this
thanks ....
Let us create a new property to track in Google Analytics.Open up analytics.google.com.Goto Admin.Goto property settings and create a new property there.Make sure that you pretend like you are tracking a website and not an app.The App functionality will not work for J2ME. Give the address of your own website or blog if you have any.It doesnt matter what site you give.
Once you create a property, you will now get a tracking ID something like this : UA-3*****4-1
Now Download the latest Google Analytics JAR from here
Add this to your project.I am now attaching a sample code below
This sample code will generate an event called New User whenever a user uses an app for the first time.Subsequent uses will generate an event called Old User. The Page view instance is just an example.Code:Tracker tc = Tracker.getInstance(m, id);// m is the MIDlet instance and id is the Tracking ID if (!Storage.getInstance().exists("first_time")) { tc.addToQueue(new Event("New User", "Opening App", m.getAppProperty("MIDlet-Name"), null)); Storage.getInstance().writeObject("first_time", "new_user"); } else { tc.addToQueue(new Event("Old User", "Opening App", m.getAppProperty("MIDlet-Name"), null)); } // Adding a Page View here just as an example tc.addToQueue(new PageView(m.getAppProperty("MIDlet-Name"), "/mainPage")); tc.flush(true);
The sample code makes use of LWUIT-IO package which has the Storage class.It is only used to check whether we are running the app for the first time or not. Kindly note how I am making use of events and page views alone for understanding purpose.
I will put this as a Wiki article pretty soon.
Hi arunkam,
we need to implement some permissions for google analytics too while signing? If yes what are the permissions for it?
I have replied for this question in another post of yours.

Active Learning ClassroomsNovember 8th, 2011
Active Learning Classroom
Stuart Marrs, Associate Provost and Dean for Undergraduate Education
We have an exciting opportunity to join a growing list of universities embracing new instructional modalities tailored to 21st century demands. Corporate America is asking for college graduates who can work in teams, are adept at problem solving, and possess the critical thinking abilities to quickly adapt to a rapidly changing business and industry environment. Active Learning Classrooms (ALC) contrast with the traditionally passive theater‐style lecture by engaging students via inquiry‐based learning in small groups (teams) that remain together throughout the semester. Groups are seated at round tables equipped with several computers each, and wired to enable display sharing within the group or to the entire class of ~80. Faculty and TAs interact with each group individually during a class session. The groups engage in activities that one proponent terms: tangibles, ponderables, labs, and group problem‐ solving. Lecture material can be delivered either during the class in response to the immediate work, or via podcast prior to the class. Team‐work helps students engage in problem‐solving and critical thinking as well as reflect on issues of diversity. Studies have shown that attendance and learning outcomes are dramatically improved in the ALC setting not only for science and technology, but for the humanities as well.

In the final regular-season game for both teams, Cordova (23-8) scored three runs in the first inning and that proved to be more than enough for the Blue Devils' onslaught of pitchers.
Andrew Minor, Chase Trotter, Cam Honeycutt, Taylor Trotter, Chad Russell, Clark Chance and Stephen Kilpatrick each threw a scoreless inning, allowing two hits and striking out six.
Sumiton Christian (15-8) got both of its hits in the fourth inning.
Cordova opened the game with a pair of singles from Zac Guerra and Honeycutt. Andrew Minor and Chase Trotter added singles later in the inning as the Blue Devils took a 3-0 lead.
The Blue Devils added two more runs in the third inning with Chase Trotter and Taylor Trotter both getting hits and coming around to score. Taylor Trotter singled and scored Cordova's sixth run in the fifth inning.
In the game, Guerra went 3 for 5 with a run, Honeycutt was 1 for 3 with a stolen base and a run, Minor was 2 for 4 with a run, Jeffre Wingo was 1 for 3, Chase Trotter was 3 for 4 with a run, Taylor Trotter was 2 for 3 with two runs and Clark Chance was 2 for 3.
Cordova has more than doubled last year's win total.The Blue Devils finished 10-20 in 2012.
"It's been a big turnaround from last year," Cordova coach Ronnie Boggs said. "We have a lot more chemistry with this team. They've learned how to compete."
Both the Blue Devils and Eagles open the playoffs on Friday.
In Class 3A, Cordova travels to Danville for a double-header beginning at 5 p.m.
Sumiton Christian will host Berry in a Class 1A first-round double header starting at 12:30 p.m.

Valerie Bertinelli on the Light Side
The Spirit of a Fighter
Valerie Bertinelli is trying to make me understand. Not about her long and prolific career (which currently includes a stint as a contributor to the Rachael Ray Show), her 20-plus year marriage to (and recent divorce from) rocker Eddie Van Halen, nor her stunning weight loss -- 40 pounds and counting over nine months -- which has left her, at 47, Hollywood's sexiest girl next door. No. These are all important, and they are chronicled in Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time, her gripping new memoir coming out this month about sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll -- and food. But right now there's more at stake. Seated in her New York City hotel room, her hair still damp from the shower, football fanatic Bertinelli is trying to explain to a sports moron (me) the significance of Ohio State University's team, currently playing -- well, someone -- on the flat-screen TV.
"What's so amazing about Ohio State is that even when they lost 11 guys to the pros, the next year they still managed to become number one," Bertinelli begins. She stares at me, waiting for the import of this news to sink in. "They lost 11 of their best players!" she shouts. Nothing. "And they were still able to build their team! And become number one! And stay number one!"
I smile and nod vigorously. Please, I think, please don't hurt me.
She chortles cheerfully and gives up. It's not surprising that Bertinelli loves this team's fighting spirit -- she's something of a fighter herself. How else to explain 20 years with one of rock's most notorious party boys, who still smokes despite battling mouth cancer not once but twice? Or joining Kirstie Alley as a spokeswoman for Jenny Craig and putting herself and her weight woes on display for the whole world? Bertinelli calls herself "an average Joe in a bizarre job" and she has a point. A single mother (to son Wolfgang, 17) who chubs up when she gets depressed: What could be more regular than that?
Later on she and her live-in boyfriend of three years, financial adviser Tom Vitale, 46, who sits at her side during our interview, will leave the hotel to find a sports bar to watch her beloved New Orleans Saints. (Bertinelli was born in Wilmington, Delaware, but her family moved to Louisiana when she was a teenager.) But first she opens up about her painful past, her new life, and her thoughts on love and loss.

After OLB Mario Williams left Houston to sign the richest defensive contract in NFL history this offseason with the Bills, the Texans knew they needed a third pass-rushing outside linebacker for defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' pressure-filled scheme. With the 26th pick in the first round, the Texans filled their need with the selection of former Illinois DE-OLB Whitney Mercilus.
Phillips is sporting a big grin right about now. The raw and athletic Mercilus, who registered an eye-popping 16 sacks and nine forced fumbles as a junior last season, will have the opportunity to contribute readily next to OLBs Connor Barwin (11½ sacks) and Brooks Reed (six sacks) in the Texans' sub-packages. Phillips relies heavily on his OLBs to be regulars in the backfield, and Mercilus showed a knack for doing just that in his last year at Illinois. What's more, he strengthens the unit's depth, giving Phillips the flexibility to spell Barwin and Reed more than he could last season. Remember, Williams went down for the season in Week Five, leaving Barwin and the rookie Reed to play an awful lot of snaps. Nonetheless, the Texans' defense didn't flinch, and it stands to reason that this move will make them an even more ferocious pass-rushing unit in 2012.
The selection doesn't come without some risk, though. Mercilus' numbers last season were extraordinary, but he qualifies as a one-year producer after notching just two sacks in his first two seasons in Champaign. He is considered a raw, developmental player brimming with upside, but he is nowhere near a finished product. He relied a lot on his athleticism in college and needs to refine his fundamentals and add bulk. In other words, he needs to be coached up.
My guess is GM Rick Smith, who likely had Phillips' approval with this pick, took comfort in the fact that Phillips will be working closely with the club's newest addition. After all, Phillips earned numerous accolades, including the Pro Football Weekly/Pro Football Writers of America Assistant Coach of the Year award, for the tremendous work he did with Houston's young "D" in 2011. Smith undoubtedly recognized the great deal of success Phillips had in turning Barwin and Reed — both of whom previously played end — into rush outside linebackers in such a quick time period last season, and he will now attempt to do the same with Mercilus, who will also be asked to transition from end.
Mercilus couldn't have found a better landing spot than Houston. He joins a talented and ascending defense that puts a premium on pass rushers, and a coach in Phillips with a sterling track record for getting the most out of his players right away.

Those were my words to a friend who was seeking a bit of help with his unhappy life.
It's not that his life was an out-and-out disaster. He had all the trappings of contentment: A good job, a beautiful wife and family, a comfortable home, and a bright future. Still, he wasn't happy.
Truth be told, this was no new phenomena. I had never known him to be happy for terribly long. He didn't suffer from hopelessness, depression, or despair. He simply wanted something better. He was always chasing some utopia created in his mind – the "perfect life" he called it – never recognizing that the life he had was already pretty darn close to perfect.
My friend isn't alone in his quest for a mythical Shangri-La. With places to go, people to see, kingdoms to conquer, mountains to climb, parties to crash, and horizons to reach, any advice resembling "settle down" is quickly disregarded by the strivers and competitors of the world. But settling might be the very path to the life they are seeking.
See, the person who always wants to be some place better, never lives right where they are. The person who is always looking for Mr. or Ms. Perfect is blind to the remarkable and beautiful persons that surround them. The person who never has enough, never gets around to enjoying what they do have. They never settle in to live, appreciate, or to love the life that they have been richly blessed with.
No, this isn't an easy lesson to learn, but there comes a point where one must accept the life he or she has in order to be happy. That's not my attempt to squash dreams, to pour water on someone's ambitious fire, or excuse a person's refusal to make life's necessary changes. Simply put, there is a big difference between grasping for a utopian mirage, and actually living out and working for a life that can be a peaceful, gratifying, fulfilling oasis.

After years of performing live together and appearing on each other's solo albums, critically acclaimed mc's/producers Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic, along with DJ Big Wiz, come together as Hail Mary Mallon and deliver their Rhymesayers debut Are You Gonna Eat That?. The name and album title are inspired by Mary Mallon aka Typhoid Mary, the first person in the U.S. identified as a healthy carrier of the pathogen associated with typhoid fever. Mary Mallon was presumed to have infected 53 people, three of whom died, over the course of her career as a cook. She spent three years in quarantine, which is where she died.
Are You Gonna Eat That? is full of powerful dense production and witty word play courtesy of Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic. Add some turntable wizardry from DJ Big Wiz and this trio is destined to be as infectious as Typhoid Mary herself.

Author Earnings, Amazon, and the Future of Ebooks
February 22, 2014 | Written by Chip MacGregor
There has been a ton of discussion over a report on author earnings by ebook authors (which you can find here: http://authorearnings.com/the-report/), the response to it (http://tinyurl.com/pcebsd5), and the responses to the responses (two of the best are http://tinyurl.com/kbjts5s and http://tinyurl.com/omkjz6v ). If you follow this discussions in our industry, you already know what's going on: successful self-published author of Wool, Hugh Howey, did a bunch of research and came to the conclusion that self-published authors are selling more books and making more money than those publishing with traditional publishers. It was quickly pointed out that there were some problems with Howey's work — he sells his books on Amazon, did all his research on Amazon, and (surprise!) came to the conclusion that Amazon is a great place to do your ebooks. Nevertheless, there were really some interesting things that showed up in his research:
—Indie-published ebooks have generally higher ratings on Amazon than Legacy-published ebooks.
—Indie-published ebooks generally cost less than Legacy-published ebooks, possibly leading consumers to the sense of getting better value from indies.
—Indie-published ebooks may be outselling Legacy-published ebooks (this is more inferred than proven).
—Indie-published ebooks constitute a larger percentage of books sales than we've been led to believe in the past (Howey estimates it's more than 50% of all book sales, though his methodology lacks stringent validity testing).
—Indie-published authors of ebooks are earning more per book than Legacy-published ebook authors. (Though his argument that Indie-published authors are making more overall is based on very shaky evidence.)
It's all fascinating stuff, and I believe his conclusion that publishing's brightest days are ahead is spot-on. As an agent, I've never felt I was one of the people who needed to protect the status quo — the fact is, I believe in authors self-publishing.. Unfortunately, the debate that arose after Howey released his findings was considerably less than insightful. It's become a fairly rancorous debate, with authors and pundits picking sides, pointing fingers, and making their case with angry words and often impolite rhetoric. Those who want to defend traditional publishing seem to want to dismiss the study, and those who are staunch publishing revolutionists can't stand the thought that Howey's work might not actually hold up to critical analysis. Dana Beth Weinberg, who runs a Master's program in Data Analytics and might know a bit about data analysis, has come under a scathing attack for daring to criticize Howey's methodology. (The criticism is basically this: "We don't want to hear from experts, we want to hear from people who agree with us!")
Again, I thought Howey's study was interesting, since we rarely get to see this sort of data. His premise that Legacy publishers paying a 25% ebook royalty is unfair to authors is obviously true, and he states that one of his goals is to push publishers to change that — something I'm very supportive of. His assertion that traditional publishers have skewed the data over the years to protect their market share isn't really a surprise — both sides in this debate have done that. And his conclusion that publishers are making more than authors isn't really "news," in my view, but it's a good reminder. So I'm glad he took the time to do the report.
Still, there are some real problems with his work. The study was only done with one company, all the data is from one day, and he admittedly relies on friends and conjecture for many of his conclusions. In other words, his sample size is way too small. He breathlessly reports that 92% of the bestsellers are Amazon ebooks… um, somebody apparently forgot to explain to him that Amazon uses their bestseller lists as promotional tools for the company, so they're notoriously unreliable as industry examples. And you don't get "trends" from looking at one point in time, you get them from looking at several and creating a trend line (even my one class in statistics in my PhD program at the University of Oregon taught me that).
So, just because I want you to understand exactly what I'm saying, I'm going to make this very clear: In today's publishing market, I think nearly every author needs to consider being a "hybrid" author. That is, I think most of the authors our company has the privilege of representing need to consider having a combination of publishing deals. They need to consider doing some books with a traditional publisher, who can pay an advance, give you broad exposure, get you introduced to major media, and get you into every Barnes & Noble, Wal-Mart, and independent bookstore in the country. You also need to consider working with some niche or indie publisher, who can pay you a much better royalty and hopefully draw an audience of readers who like exactly the sort of book you write. And you need to consider self-publishing some of your work — certainly your out-of-print titles, but also shorter works that won't attract most traditional publishers, and even new book projects that can reach your core audience. Those self-published books will pay a much greater royalty than your traditionally published books, and you'll get paid faster, so there's a nice benefit to working with Amazon and B&N.com and the iBookstore.

Once again, disturbing statistics have come from the government. Once again, the question being asked is what the figures portend for the country's overall economy.
Once again, as it has been for the startling figures on housing foreclosures, a lot of people are being hurt, and once again, the burden is falling on people of color.
In December, the jobless rate for African Americans was the highest in 16 months; for Latinos it was the highest rate in over two years. Describing what it termed "The swift deterioration in the job market," the New York Times noted, "The trend was pronounced for teenagers, blacks and Hispanics, for whom the rate increase for the month was triple the increase for whites." Dean Baker's Jobs Byte column put it succinctly: "The rise in unemployment hit blacks and Hispanic workers especially hard, with both groups seeing a rise of 0.6 percent in their unemployment rates to 9.0 percent and 6.3 percent, respectively."
For all intents and purposes, job growth in the nation ground to a halt as last year came to an end. The unemployment rate rose to 5.0 percent, the rate of increase, the biggest in over six years. The number of people employed part-time because they had no choice increased over December and the number who had become discouraged and drifted out of the labor market rose 32 percent over December 2006.
For no one was the news bleaker than for young African Americans for whom it keeps getting worse. Back in September 2006, when the overall unemployment dipped a bit, settling at 4.6 percent, the unemployment rate among African Americans between 16 and 19 years old rose
12 percent to 32.2 percent. Overall teenage joblessness was 16 percent at the time, but the black teenage rate was seven times the national average. As one report noted at the time, "This translates into well over a quarter of a million (267,000) African American teenagers who are actively seeking employment but are having a hard time getting their foot in the door."
In December, the jobless rate for young African Americans had risen to 34.7 percent.
"Last to be hired, first to be fired," has been repeated so often it sounds like a cliché. But nearly all black people have heard it and believe it. As the job stats make clear, in today's world of globalization, deregulated capitalism and U.S. deindustrialization, it is an ever present and even growing reality. As inequality in the society increases and the economy runs into trouble African Americans and Latinos feel the effects disproportionately.
What is even more disturbing is that the worsening jobs picture takes place against the backdrop of the toll being taken by the home mortgage crisis – or, more appropriately, the general financial crisis.
As noted in this space months ago, the still largely untold story of this period is the devastation the housing market collapse is having not just on mostly working class individuals and families, but on the whole of the African American community.
The mortgage crisis is "destroying African American wealth," Judge Greg Mathis, a vice president of Rainbow PUSH and a national board member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, wrote in the Pittsburgh Courier in September. "More of our families – African American families, hardworking families – are falling prey to loans that were never any good," continued Mathis, adding that the mortgage crisis was "chipping at the hard-earned wealth our people are building." He warned that if action were not urgently taken, the rash of foreclosures "will seriously deplete the resources of the African American community" and "the wealth gap between whites and African Americans will only grow and the economic development of the African American community will be set back several decades."
We ignore the political economy of the African American community at our peril.
What I find most astonishing is that the economic assault on the African American community produces a relative dearth of indignation. It doesn't seem to have any impact on the thinking of those academics and entertainers so quick to lecture black working people about supposed moral defects and continue to insist that breakdowns in social relations cause inequality – rather than the other way around.
Another disturbing thing is how the country's looming economic crisis is being dealt with in the 2008 Presidential campaign. Ironically, the Bush Administration reportedly is drawing up contingency plans for dealing with the economy as the reality of the recession becomes ever more obvious. However, none of the major candidates of the two major parties (or, for that matter, the minor ones) have much to say. Even the two candidates who have spoken forthrightly about the economic woes facing working people (Edwards, Kucinich), and the havoc created by the policies of the Bush Administration, have not come up with proposals to deal with the severe crisis nearly everyone agrees is on the horizon. And the Congressional leaders? It is said they are working on a stimulus program. Quietly.
African Americans have a special interest in the present economic situation. A reasonable and justifiable call today would be that all the candidates seeking votes in the black community should have a jobs program, a plan to create employment, including public works, infrastructure upgrading and conversion to green or environmentally friendly production and service provision. There should also be a provision for some form of unemployment insurance for first time job seekers. Such demands should have the support and encouragement of all who support economic justice, solidarity and social harmony.
And the wars must end. The conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq have so far run up a cost of half a trillion dollars and counting.
"On Dr. King's birthday 40 years ago, he spoke on the triple evils of racism, capitalism and militarism," the Rev. Jesse Jackson told the NNPA News Service last week.
"And today it's still racism, capitalism without checks and balances and militarism that's eating up our budget and still undermining our ability to grow. Those triple evils remain real."

Many over-the-counter (OTC) acne products are available to treat mild to moderate acne or periodic breakouts. But with so many acne products lining store shelves, how do you know which one is best for you?
Before you grab whatever package is closest, learn how OTC acne products work and what ingredients to look for. Then, develop a gentle skin care regimen to treat and prevent acne breakouts.
Acne products work in different ways, depending on their active ingredient. Some OTC acne products work by killing the bacteria that cause acne inflammation. Other acne products remove excess oils from the skin or speed up the growth of new skin cells and the removal of dead skin cells. And in some cases, acne products work by doing a combination of these things.
Here are common active ingredients found in acne products and how they work to treat acne.
The acne product that's best for you depends on many factors, including your skin type, the type and severity of your acne, and your skin care preferences. Here are some general guidelines in choosing and using acne products:
Acne products are just one step in your skin care regimen. When using acne products:
If your acne doesn't improve after two or three months of treatment, consider seeing your doctor or a dermatologist for a prescription lotion or medication.

New bike trails may be constructed in Goshen if federal grants are received.
Members of the Goshen Redevelopment Commission Tuesday gave city engineer Mary Cripe permission to submit grant applications for Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funding for two potential bike trails, the Northwest Bike Trail and the Ninth Street Trail.
According to Cripe, the Ninth Street Trail would run from College Avenue to Purl Street, while the Northwest Bike Trail would run along Bashor Road to C.R. 17 and to the commercial area along U.S. 33 North.
Though both grant submissions were approved, Cripe asked the commission to provide her with its top priority between the two trails in order to determine which should be funded first, as the Michiana Area Council of Governments will undoubtedly ask for a priority ranking.
Following Cripe's request, commission president Tom Stump said his recommendation would be to focus on completion of the Northwest Bike Trail.
"I think if we do any of these projects, we should do one out on the northwest side," Stump said. "I would say we need to look at the Northwest Bike Trail as our number one priority."
Commission member Laura Coyne agreed, adding that there is already a bike path located just a block away from the planned Ninth Street Trail, while there is no such comparative trail located in the area near the proposed Northwest Bike Trail.
"So in terms of need," Coyne said, "it seems like the Northwest Bike Trail would take precedence."
The application
According to the CMAQ grant application, the Northwest Bike Trail project would involve extending a bicycle/pedestrian path along the north side of Bashor Road from U.S. 33 west to an existing utility easement along C.R. 17; then north parallel to C.R. 17 to Peddler's Village Road; then west along the south side of Peddler's Village Road/C.R. 28 to a utility easement for the Peddler's Village sewer lift station; and finally north along the easement to the back driveway of Sam's Club.
"This project provides a pathway for bicycle and pedestrian uses that connects the residential area to the northwest U.S. 33 commercial area, and to the Maple Heart Bicycle-Pedestrian Trail," the grant application states. "The intent of this project is based upon improving consideration to bicycles and pedestrians by providing a more complete street for safe and convenient travel for all modes of transportation. Bicyclists and pedestrians will no longer be forced to share the roadway with vehicles as they will be able to use the proposed path, separated from any vehicular traffic thus increasing safety conditions."
With CMAQ grants, Cripe indicated that funding would typically require the city to pay 100 percent of any design engineering and right of way acquisition fees associated with a project, but only 20 percent of the actual construction cost, with federal funding covering the remaining 80 percent.
According to the grant application, cost for the Northwest Bike Trail will include approximately $28,000 for development and environmental services, $99,000 for design engineering, $100,000 for right of way acquisition, $825,000 for construction, and $99,000 for construction inspection, for a grand total for the project of $1,151,000.

Testimony is underway in the Preston Oates murder trial. Both sides shared brief opening statements Tuesday morning before the state put several family members on the witness stand.
It's been tough for the family members, and Tuesday was a very emotional day in court for them as they heard the 911 tapes for the very first time.
Several of them cried in court as they remembered how they were there that night to celebrate Christmas Eve peacefully together.
During opening statements, the state asked jurors to consider why Carlos Olivera had to be murdered with his family watching inside.
But the defense maintains that Oates shot Olivera in self-defense since he was also armed with a pistol.
The family's spokesperson said it has been a very painful and frustrating three and a half years but seeing this trial start gives them some hope.
"It's a little glimpse of the cave, it's a little shining light but we are confident that the judicial system is doing their job, their work and at the end, we'll see justice," the victim's brother, Nelson Olivera said.
Oates' charges were upgraded on Monday, and he now faces murder charges instead of manslaughter in the shooting death of 34-year-old Carlos Olivera.
The trial is expected to last the entire week and maybe even go into next week as well.
About a dozen witnesses have testified in the first day of the Preston Oates murder trial.
Many of them were relatives of the victim, Carlos Olivera.
Prosecutors say Oates shot Olivera on Christmas Eve in 2010 over a tow truck dispute.
The prosecution didn't waste any time calling their strongest witnesses to the stand.
Many of these family members testified to seeing the same thing happen that night when Preston Oates, a tow truck driver at the time, tried to tow Olivera's minivan.
But what was even more compelling were the audio recordings that jurors heard today.
What you're hearing is a series of frantic 911 calls made by members of Carlos Olivera's family.
Operator: "Can you tell me is he breathing?" Nelson Olivera: "My brother, he's not breathing!" Operator: "He's not breathing?" Nelson Olivera: "He's in the middle of the (...) on the ground."
A total of 14 calls came in that night to Beaufort County dispatch.
One came from the defendant, Preston Oates who admitted he had shot someone after trying to tow their car.
Operator: "OK, where did you shoot him?" Oates: "Um…face, chest? I don't know…it's dark out here."
Prosecutors say Oates shot Olivera a total of six times, four hitting his back.
Family members say Olivera had a concealed weapons permit but it's not clear why he had a gun on him that night.
Nelson Olivera, the victim's brother, testified Olivera never aimed his gun at Oates and that Oates continued to shoot him after he fell face down on his side.
After that, he said Oates threatened them.
"He put his gun on my forehead like this and he said, 'if you make another step, I'll kill you' were his words. So I say, 'ok, kill me,'" said Nelson.
But the defense maintains all along that Oates shot Olivera in self-defense after seeing a gun pointed at him.
Jurors also heard an audio recording of Oates inside a deputy's vehicle shortly after he was detained.
This is his reaction to someone tapping on the window and getting too close:
"He threatened me! He just threatened me! Really? Come on, I'm a little emotional. Right now, I just went through a traumatic experience. I've never had to kill anybody before, I didn't want to do this."
During all of today's testimony, Oates did not show any emotion at all.
Testimony will continue Wednesday morning. The state will most likely call more law enforcement officers to the witness stand.

2011 Georgia Tech Football Preview: Behind a strong running game, Georgia Tech had solid years in both 2008 and 2009, but the Yellow Jackets took a step back last season and finished 6-7. This year, head coach Paul Johnson returns a number of starters who will be looking to return to prominence in the ACC.
Perhaps the biggest question heading into the year is who will be under center. The presumptive favorite for the job is Tevin Washington, who got some playing time in four games last year, but redshirt freshman Synjyn Days could beat him out for the job. Whoever starts will have to operate in the Yellow Jackets unique spread option, which places a strong emphasis on the running game of Orwin Smith and Roddy Jones.
The defense will look to fill holes in the secondary caused when all four starters from 2010 left. However, while the secondary may be thin, the Yellow Jackets have a strong front seven led by linebackers Julian Burnett and Steven Sylvester. Defensive end Jason Peter should provide strong senior leadership as well as significant pass rush from the side. It will be up to them to put pressure on the quarterback and give their upstart backfield a chance to catch up with the veterans on the squad.
2010 Georgia Tech Football Preview: Paul Johnson has had the Midas touch since taking over as head coach of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in 2008. Using his unique flexbone option offense, the coach led his team to an ACC Coastal Division Co-Championship in 2008 and a Conference Championship in 2009, the team's first in 11 years.
In Johnson's brief tenure, the Yellow Jackets beat their arch rivals, the University of Georgia Bulldogs, for the first time since 2000, defeated the Virginia Cavaliers on the road for the first time since 1990 and broke a 0-17 stretch to opponents ranked in the top five in the nation by toppling the fourth ranked Virginia Tech in 2009.
There aren't many improvements Georgia Tech can make on last season, but another ACC Championship and a Bowl Game victory would be a good start.
To help make their run this season, the Yellow Jackets bring back last year's starting quarterback Joshua Nesbitt, who threw for 1,701 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2009. Though the team has named Tevin Washington as a backup, Nesbitt's job seems safe as he's proved that he can tactfully manage the team's spread-option offense.
2009 Georgia Tech Football Preview: Head Coach: Paul Johnson The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will be a team to watch in 2009. That is because Georgia Tech had a hugely successful in 2008, under first year Head Coach Paul Johnson. And many experts are predicting a repeat performance of that success heading into the 2009 season. The Yellow Jackets return a strong offense that will again rely on the triple-option spread to confuse and overpower opponents. If GT can keep things rolling they should be in the conversation for BCS bowls again in 2009.
2008 Georgia Tech Football Preview: Head Coach: Paul Johnson Coming off a .500 season and the loss of Chan Gailey at head coach, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football program has a lot of question marks around it this coming season. Tech fans will be excited to see what the future holds for the team. Paul Johnson from Navy has taken the coaching job for 2008, and fans will fill Bobby Dodd Stadium this year to cheer their team on to an ACC Championship, a bowl game, and perhaps most importantly a win over their archrivals the Georgia Bulldogs.
I had never purchased bowl game tickets online. The buying process was easy, thank you!Barbara - Kansas City, MO

Rose Funeral: Gates of Punishment Interview With Ryan Gardner At Heavy MTL 2012
Join us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YellMagazine Join us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/YellMagazine With Gates of Punishment nearing its one-year anniversary, the members of Rose Funeral found themselves playing at Heavy MTL 2012 to legions of hardcore metal fans. These fans are pretty unforgiving when it comes to their metal; they want good metal and aren't afraid to be vocalize their disapproval when something sucks (just ask Five Finger Death Punch how they feel). Luckily, Rose Funeral is serious about its metal and its particular brand of death metal, which incorporates death metal and black metal vocals, crushing riffs, and NWOBHM melodies on dual guitars. We were originally scheduled to interview Kevin Snook (lead guitar), but we ultimately found ourselves sitting down with Ryan Gardner (vocalist). As it turns out, this was the first time for Rose Funeral to play an event on this magnitude, making it an exciting and memorable experience for the band. (We're sure the fans at Heavy TO didn't give them as warm a reception as Heavy MTL did.) Rose Funeral better get used to playing events this large, because the band has arrived.

"I'm Bored!!" Sound familiar? For an EZ, fun, economical summer craft, you need just a few supplies and imagination. When it's time to stay indoors and out of the Texas heat,
create some cool art work!!
Lisanne and Brenda teamed up for this weeks Crafty Creations
Art canvas
Painter's tape
Craft paint
Sponge brushes
Mod Podge-optional
Board canvas, 9"x12" comes in a pack of 3 at the craft store for about $7. They're easy to hang with a plastic saw-tooth stick on or a ribbon with hot glue. Craft paint starts at less than $1. each, and a pack of sponge brushes is about $1.50.
Paint the whole canvas one color* & let dry. Add the painter's tape to make stripes or several different sized sections. With sponge brushes, paint the sections or stripes. Let dry to see if a second or third coat is needed. (Not waiting until it's dry can remove wet paint) After all is painted and dry, remove the tape. DONE!
Adding ribbons, twine, names with felt or wood letters, & other embellishments is fun and adds texture and personality. Just use the glue gun or fabric glue to attach. Keeping the canvas plain looks cool, too, maybe make a set of 3 to hang together. If you'd like to add stickers, the card stock style works best on canvas. For heavier items, Epoxy is best.
To get a shiny finish add, a layer of Mod Podge, which comes in glitter and glow-in-the-dark also. (Fun for the boys) It can also be used for adhering thinner items.
The paint is water based, so there's an easy clean up.
It's a good choice if you want to do hand prints-just wash with soap.
Remember to wear old clothes and have newspaper or cardboard to protect the working surface.
Buy dark colors and a couple bottles of WHITE, then mix for lighter shades.
If the base coat on the canvas is a darker color, say, black, brown or navy, a couple layers of white maybe needed before painting the lighter color chosen. I needed several coats of yellow over my black section.
Acrylic dries quickly, so if a mistake is made, wait until the area is dry & repaint.
Colored shoe laces, tulle or leather strips are great for hanging the canvas.
Let the kids have fun and be creative, they will be proud to have their work displayed.
"The nature of having ideas & creativity is incredibly inspiring." Jonathan Ive

Dolphins P Brandon Fields has agreed to a four-year contract extension, according to reports.
Fields was entering the final year of his deal before agreeing to a contract that will keep him signed through the 2016 season. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Fields' extension is worth just over $13 million with $3.3 million guaranteed, making him the league's fifth-highest paid punter.
Fields, 28, had a net punting average of 41.1 yards last season, which was the fourth-best mark in the NFL. He tied for third in the league with 32 punts dropped inside the 20-yard line in 2011.
