185 in East Lancs lose out as benefit payments capped
3:00pm Sunday 12th January 2014 in News By Bill Jacobs, Local government reporter
A TOTAL of 185 East Lancashire residents or families have had their benefits capped by the government.
Across Britain, almost 33,000 households saw their welfare payments reduced to national average earnings of £26,000 a year for couples and £18,500 for single individuals.
There were 2,292 in the north west, with Manchester the local authority most affected in the region, where 363 have faced cuts since the policy was rolled out last April.
Blackburn with Darwen saw 74 households capped, Burnley 26, Chorley 19 and Hyndburn 34. In Pendle the figure was 17, in Ribble Valley two and Rossendale 13.
Capping benefits so that households no longer get more in benefits than the average family earns is a key part of the Government's long-term economic plan.
Bishop of Burnley John Goddard and Hyndburn MP Graham Jones expressed concern that the cap, while good in principle, could be a blunt instrument in dealing with vulnerable families.
Friday's statistics show that in November almost 150 households nationwide were capped by at least £350 a week; more than 1,000 single people without children were capped; and the top 10 areas (mainly in London) had more than 500 capped households each.
Minister for Welfare Reform, Lord Freud, said: "These figures show that the benefit cap is returning fairness to the system by ensuring that families on benefits can no longer get more money than the average family earns.
"It is not right that some families on benefits were receiving amounts of money that hardworking taxpayers could only dream of and our welfare reforms are working to fix the system.
"We already know that around 19,000 claimants potentially affected by the benefit cap have found jobs."
Mr Jones said: "Labour supports the benefit cap but it can be a blunt instrument in terms of how people across the country are affected.
Bishop Goddard said: "The benefit cap is a good idea in principle but it is a blunt instrument for some vulnerable families."
Blackburn MP Jack Straw said: "The principle of a benefits cap is a good idea. I have had no representations from Blackburn claimants affected. I shall be interested to see if any do in the future."

There's no reason why those who don't work should be better of than those who (on average) do.
And before ranting, let's remember that there are people/couples in work who will be bringing in less than the average, should their earning be brought up to this level by the state?

The ones sat at home watching Sky sports with a beer in there hands should have there benefits paid in vouchers for Electricity/Gas and food vouchers which don't include Alcohol or cigarettes, again make them turn out each day to do some kind off community work.
I am repeating myself here but we have Polish/Romanians coming over here and finding work? HOW do they manage it, I'll tell you why they are prepared to work at any job, and work for the minimum wage, some of our so called unemployed think this is beyond them.

ce58, your point is valid and fits with my view ie that the government is being very successful with its tactic of divide and rule whilst being ably supported by the, largely, right wing press.
In short, I reckon many/most people here in East Lancs are more than a little worried about their current situations and their futures in respect of jobs, housing, lifestyles etc and when those we want to trust continue with their stories, well, for many, the temptation to believe the stories and take them at face value is too great.
Maybe what's needed are proper counter arguments or, better still, pro-active appraisals of the "true" situation eg benefits fraud (much of which is down to staff error) is estimated about £1.2bn pa and there are about 3500 staff engaged in searching this out. Tax avoidance is estimated to cost the Country about £25bn and there about 300 staff engaged in searching this out. Anyone else other than me think that there might be something amiss with the way any of this is being approached?
Similarly, the public greatly underestimate the extent of UK wealth inequality. In 2013 they thought that the top 20% of the population owned 39% of wealth and the bottom 20% owned 10%. The actual distribution is far more unequal – the top 20% own 62% while the bottom 20% has less than 1%. Remember, we're all in this together. Really?

This relatively small group in society has been made the scapegoats for a system that is in economic crisis as it fast approaches meltdown.
It can not be denied that wages are too low, not means tested benefits are too high.
Labour institutionalised poverty pay when it introduced the 'legal' minimum wage. There is no political party that represents the interests of the working class as a whole. We are now in a period where society is becoming sharply polarised. The 'haves' and the 'have nots' or put more simply - us and them! We all privately know which side we are on.
Attacking the poor and the vulnerable by using clichéd stereotypes fools no one. Those most affected will be in the forefront to fight back.
They have nothing to lose but their chains!

Lancs - pensioner wrote:Totally with you on this one - I'm a young working mum and live a less than average lifestyle despite working full time. I know of single mums on benefits living a life of luxury - something seriously wrong there!
I have no problem with people on benefits, they may not be able to get a job? What I would like to see is the ones on benefits working 40 hours a week for our NHS service or sweeping the streets whilst there unemployed, these types of jobs are on the cut backs needed during these hard times and rant being done.
The ones sat at home watching Sky sports with a beer in there hands should have there benefits paid in vouchers for Electricity/Gas and food vouchers which don't include Alcohol or cigarettes, again make them turn out each day to do some kind off community work.

nthropist also makes a number of correct and good points and I cant help but wonder how different our worlds would look, feel and be if our politicians/governme
nt focussed on ensuring decent incomes, developing jobs, building houses and improving our local areas rather than hitting out and scapegoating the poorest, "immigrants" or whoever is next on the hit-list.
The only political party I know of supporting any of the above is The Green Party and I often find myself wondering just why our trades unions aren't taking more of a lead in these areas. More fat cats or blocking by the right wing press?

South Bend's Anti-Violence Commission met on Wednesday morning to focus on crime reduction strategies studied by a delegation of commission members at The City University of New York's John Jay College of Criminal Justice in June.
During the trip, delegates met with Professor David Kennedy. Kennedy's approach, outlined in his book "Don't Shoot," calls for local, state, and federal law enforcement and prosecutors to focus crime-prevention efforts on groups most associated with gun violence.
South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg believes this is more then just a program, it is a change in the way South Bend should approach violent crime. "This is a strategy that should outlive me," Buttigieg said, "it should outlive the present police administration and become part of the fabric of how South Bend addresses violent crime, because when you do it right, you can cut violent crime by thirty to forty percent."
The commission will be doing "call ins" in the future, where they approach and explain to the most violent groups, the consequences of committing violent crimes in South Bend, and the ways they can keep themselves out of trouble.

Latest generation
TO THE EDITOR: Kudos to Larry Jeffords's Aug. 13 letter, "Willingness to work."
Having worked since the late '40s right up to 2011, 62 years, paying into FICA and taxes and still paying taxes on my pensions, I have witnessed whole generations of families living off welfare.
Now there is another "Me" generation that still "nests" off of mom and dad, all in their 20s and 30s. Too good to start at the bottom or for minimum wages?
Imagine this generation defending our country from these Muslims when they try to take over our country in the near future.
May God help and bless America.

Sass Snippets: Compact Syntax for Nested Properties
In CSS we can see properties that start with the same name, followed by a hyphen and then the rest of the name. For example we have the
padding-bottom and
padding-left properties. We can use the shorthand syntax in this case (
padding: 0 0 10px 20px;) or we type each property with the complete name:
padding-top: 0; padding-right: 0; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 20px;
With Sass we can use a different syntax for these kind of properties. We only have to define the common part of the property name and in a block we can define the specific properties. The name is followed by a colon (
:) instead of a hyphen (
-). In the following sample we define a couple of
text- and
padding- properties:
// nested-properties.scss h1 { text: { align: 'left'; transformation: 'capatalize'; indent: 20px; } } p { // Simple variable for padding. $padding: 20px; padding: { left: $padding; // Calculate with padding variable: bottom: $padding / 2; } }
This results in the following CSS:
h1 { text-align: 'left'; text-transformation: 'capatalize'; text-indent: 20px; } p { padding-left: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; }

The Deftones first album "Adrenaline" is very different from the Deftones we are now used to today. "Adrenaline" is a straight-forward metal album. No experiments, no electronics or anything that the Deftones are widely known for today, just rock. This release is more in tune with "Around The Fur", which I think is the Deftones' best. This one came out in the height of the nu-metal explosion, which the Deftones were partly responsible for. Deftones were one of the first bands, beside Korn, to play what was known as "nu-metal" and they were doing it long before Korn ever got together, even though this one came out a year after Korn's debut. There was a lot of things to me that made the Deftones better than most of the other nu-metal bands out there, mainly being Chino. Chino is such a great vocalist, and I've always prefered him over others like Jon Davis and Fred Durst. Not to mention his lyrics have always been a cut above the others, not just doing the same old topics that eventually became done to death in the genre. The rest of the band isn't too shabby on their instruments either. If you're a fan of the Deftones, it's nice to see where they came from, and how they've evolved over the years.
The album opens up with one of the Deftones' classic songs, "Bored". Introducing the "soft verse, loud chorus" approach that would later become a staple for their, most other nu metal bands, material. This is where the Deftones show what they're all about. Most of the album follows this pattern, like "Lifter" and "Root". Some tend to use rapping approaches (which would become yet another staple in nu-metal) like "7 words" and "Engine #9″. One of the highlights (and my favorite moment on the entire album) is on "7 Words" when the music stops just before the bridge, and Chino says "you don't know me, shut up you don't know me, squeel like a pig…", you know the rest. It's just so good before it goes back into the song. Some songs see the Deftones slowing it down a bit, and getting very melodic only to turn into fierce bursts, most notably "One Weak" and "Fireal". The untitled hidden track (which is really called "Fist") is a hauting, extremely light song which mainly features Chino mumbling and Stephen playing guitar, and is quite good once you listen to it. Most songs on the cd however see the band going to heavy route, showing their metal influence, that would later only be used in small doses. The album also features a great deal or screaming which is not nearly used as much in later albums. Compared to the Deftones releases of today, this one does not even stand up in the diversity department, because really the only thing they do different is slow down songs like "Fireal" and "One Weak". Even with the lack of diversity (which I love about the newer albums) the collection of songs on here will please any fan of the band, especially those who love "Around The Fur". Fans of new releases like "White Pony" and the self-titled might just want to check it out for nostalgic purposes. I fell in love with this album years ago, and still I find myself listening to it and loving it just the same. It's so good, and that's the way it's always been with the Deftones. Everything they've ever done has been great, and this album is no exception.
Definitely a worth while addition to any Deftones fans collection. Most won't be dissapointed with this one. I know that if you're a Deftones fan, then most likely you already own this one. However if you're someone who has recently got into the band, then don't hesitate to pick this one up and add it to your collection. The Deftones never make the same album twice, so it make "Adrenaline" even more essential. The things that made the Deftones amazing back then, are still the things that make them amazing today, and it's great to see those things in an early form. It's cool to remember when the Deftones were one of the front runners in nu-metal. Now they deny all association with the genre. However this one will always remain as one of the most influential nu-metal albums out there, and really you can't do any better.

Toronto Blue Jays open spring training as World Series favourites
In a sure sign of spring, players reported to spring training facilities all across Florida and Arizona Tuesday.
In Dunedin, Fla., the revamped Toronto Blue Jays arrived raring to go as Las Vegas favourites to win the World Series.
Tickets sales are bound to inch toward the record-setting salad days on the 1980s and 1990s, when the team regularly made the playoffs and challenged for baseball supremacy. But some of the new ticket policies are not going over well with all fans, especially the ones who have stuck with the team through the bad times. They are cancelling the discounted $99 season pass in light of this increased demand.
Individual Blue Jays tickets go on sale Feb. 15 but will the team generate buzz for the city of Toronto which is starved for a winner?
#jays vp Stephen Brooks said season tickets are up "significantly"—
Richard Griffin (@RGriffinStar) February 05, 2013
#jays vP Stephen Brooks frowned when explaining when daily tickets go on sale Feb 15 there will be "inventory issues". #smilinginside—
Richard Griffin (@RGriffinStar) February 05, 2013
But the Jays are not locks to win anything. National Post's John Lott has five key questions that have to be addressed by Jays management, especially in the bullpen. The National Post also put together a great photo gallery of your baseball heroes. Check it out.
On a blog posting on Blue Jays Banter, here is a statistical breakdown of the expected attendance based on how many wins the team will get. The post ties together wins and attendance all the way back to 1990.
In 1993, the Blue Jays pulled in 4,057,947 fans and were the first attract more than 4 million in one season (1991). Is there a chance they could reach such lofty heights again? Maybe.
Down in Miami, the Marlins held a pre-season event that was ignored by most locals, considering the team traded away its best players to the Blue Jays. According to an article written last summer in Forbes Magazine, the Marlins brand-spanking-new ball park had poor attendance in the first year.
In the most shocking news since Larry King announced he was getting divorced, Miami Marlins Fanfest was "sparsely attended"—
Eric Macramalla (@EricOnSportsLaw) February 12, 2013
But this Blue Jays fan is happy.

A Georgia pet rescue group says somebody stole 40 of its dog crates, a setback that makes it harder for the group to show animals to potential adoptive families.
According to their Facebook page, Park Pet Haven Rescue in Dunwoody used the crates to show dogs at a local PetSmart store in hopes of adopting them. Dorease Shairrick, the rescue group's volunteer director, says the crates cost about $5,000 apiece and were stolen sometime in the last week.
She says the crates were kept behind a 9-foot chain-link fence behind the PetSmart store. The group is trying to borrow crates to put on a limited adoption show.
Meanwhile, Shairrick says the rescue group is accepting donations to help replace its stolen dog crates.

Another option that is often used, is for both parties in a child support order to come to a mutual decision on what is best for the family. If both parties in a child support case can agree to the support amount ahead of time, a Child Support Specialist will assist in the completion of a stipulation (agreement) for filing with the court. If there is no mutual agreement, a notice to appear in court will be sent to both parties, and a judge or commissioner will calculate the amount.

I grew up on Long Island and when I was in junior high school, I started taking trips into Manhattan with friends on matinee days. We'd take the LIRR to Penn Station, get tickets at the TKTS booth, have lunch at Charlie's (later Sam's), see a show, and catch the train home. It was my favorite thing to do and I saw so many plays I would never have seen without the convenience and discount of the booth. I'll never forget seeing the title of a play of mine printed on one of those orange plastic signs they used to hang on the board (The Twilight of the Golds in 1993). I felt like I'd really made it.Continued...

My art work called 9-eleven "A Work Day Commute" represents the chaos that started swarmed in my head as I listened further to the events unfolding on your radio station as I commuted to work. There are four silhouetted planes that represent the 4 hijacked planes along with the image of the World Trade Center in my rear view mirror to represent a reflection of something in the past. And the American Flag as the air freshener hanging down from my mirror to show a symbol of American pride and hope for the future of America.

RACINE (WKOW) -- A dozen protesters were cited for blocking a street outside U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan's office Friday.
The 12 Racine women were demonstrating to call on Ryan to work for speedy immigration reform and to stop deportations.
The Journal Times reports the women sat in the middle of the road in front of the Janesville Republican's downtown Racine office.
Police blocked off the road and allowed the women to address a crowd of several dozen.
The protest lasted about an hour until the women willingly moved out of the street.
The protest was organized by the Milwaukee-based immigrant rights group Voces de la Frontera.

Batterie Dietl, Engeløya, Steigen
Batterie Dietl was built during WW2, the works started in 1942. The area had 3 of the largest and most expensive guns ever made by the germans, the Adolf Cannons, with 40.6 cm calibre. The cannon barrel itself was 21.5 meter long, weighing 158 tons! and could shoot its 600 kilo ammunition across the Vest Fjord all the way to Lofoten, effectively covering any access to the harbor of Narvik. The manual labour was done by approx. 2000 russian POWs and 3000 of other nationalities. Of the russian prisoners, 514 died during the construction time. Between 5000 and 7000 germans was stationed on Batterie Dietl during the war. The guns never engaged in actual warfare, only test shots were ever fired from them.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Brian Bacon Madame Morrible in Wicked
DKlintworthMD I'd love to see Bette Midler's take on Madame Morrible in "Wicked". It gives her the chance to be both funny and evil all at once.
The deviously imperious school mistress in Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman's Wicked would take Midler back to her "Hocus Pocus" roots.

Hundreds of thousands of customers have joined the Amazon Web Services (AWS) community and use AWS solutions to build their businesses. The AWS cloud computing platform provides the flexibility to build your application, your way, regardless of your use case or industry. You can save time, money, and let AWS manage your infrastructure, without compromising scalability, security, or dependability.
|Common customer use cases or solutions using AWS include:
|Application Hosting
|Media Hosting
|Backup and Storage
|On-Demand Workforce
|Content Delivery
|Search Engines
|Web Hosting
|Media and Entertainment
|Enterprise IT
|Life Sciences
|High Performance Computing
Application vendors are looking for ways to offer hosted alternatives to packaged software. Hosted applications or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings allow businesses to take advantage of subscription-based revenue models, easier upgrade paths, reduced time to market, more predictable costs, and other benefits. Amazon Web Services offers a number of products, including Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) that give application vendors an easy way to use the massive compute power of the Amazon cloud computing platform to host their existing software on the Internet.
Even as storage becomes more plentiful and affordable, businesses are still faced with the task of managing their growing storage infrastructure. Amazon Web Services provides a cost-effective solution for storing information in the cloud that eliminates the burden of provisioning and managing hardware. Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) provides a highly scalable, reliable, and inexpensive data storage infrastructure that enables you to build dependable backup solutions. Thousands of customers already use Amazon S3 as their backup location, and other customers have created compelling end-user backup, storage, and disaster recovery solutions using AWS.
Amazon CloudFront makes it easier to distribute content to end-users quickly, with low latency and high data transfer speeds. The service lets you deliver your content through a worldwide network of edge locations and automatically routes end-user requests to closest edge location, so content is delivered with the best possible performance. Amazon CloudFront works seamlessly with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), which durably stores the original, definitive versions of your files. Like other Amazon Web Services, there are no long term contracts or monthly commitments and you only pay for what you use.
Amazon Web Services provides a number of database solutions for developers and businesses. Amazon RDS enables you to run a fully featured relational database while offloading database administration; Amazon SimpleDB provides simple index and query capabilities with seamless scalability; and using one of our many relational database AMIs on Amazon EC2 and Amazon EBS allows you to operate your own relational database in the cloud. There are important differences between these alternatives that may make one more appropriate for your use case.
E-commerce applications require an infrastructure that ensures security, dependability, and the ability to handle sudden and/or seasonal spikes in demand. Services such as Amazon Simple Workflow Service help developers build scalable, fault-tolerant E-commerce applications. In addition, e-commerce applications require proven credit card processing capabilities. Amazon Web Services and other Amazon.com business units offer a number of solutions to help you run an e-commerce website. For example, the Amazon Flexible Payments Service (Amazon FPS) offers a powerful solution for handling payment. Amazon FPS automatically processes payments and refunds so that you can focus on delivering great solutions for your customers instead of managing financial transactions.
Many enterprises maintain and operate their own IT infrastructure — a task that often distracts from differentiating their business from competition and providing value for their customers. Amazon Web Services offers a reliable, secure environment on which businesses and their IT partners can host both internal- and external-facing applications. By hosting on the Amazon cloud computing platform, businesses can access on-demand, cost-effective infrastructure solutions and subsequently save time, money, and management resources.
Many businesses have problems that could be solved quickly and easily if only they had access to an infinite supply of compute power. Businesses with high performance computing (HPC) needs are turning to Amazon Web Services for access to a massive compute cloud. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) provides access to a tremendous amount of compute power, enabling you to process very large data sets across multiple virtual compute instances using any algorithm, programming language, or operating system you wish. Alternatively, businesses can use Amazon Elastic MapReduce which offers a hosted Hadoop framework so you no longer need to worry about the set-up, management or tuning of Hadoop clusters.
Media distribution can be an unpredictable and expensive business. Companies looking to serve media files can incur extremely high storage and bandwidth costs, far exceeding those of many other businesses. Cost-effectively storing and distributing large media files become primary concerns for making the business economics work. Amazon Web Services enables cost-effective, scalable, and dependable distribution of content with services such as Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront.
Businesses regularly need tasks completed that computers cannot accurately accomplish. To find and hire people with specific skills to accomplish these tasks adds unwanted complexity and staffing costs. Amazon Mechanical Turk helps businesses connect with skilled workers for time- or project-specific tasks. It gives businesses access to a vast network of human intelligence with the efficiency of computers, and enables them to complete projects faster and more cost-effectively.
Search engines and web crawlers require a large amount of processing power and storage in order to index the web and provide their customers with a satisfactory experience. Using the massive compute power and storage of Amazon Web Services, businesses with search engine or web crawler applications are able to scale their infrastructure resources to meet their ever changing needs.
Web hosting development has unique requirements for scalability, reliability, security, and more. Amazon Web Services provides massive compute power that can scale as your business grows, very large amounts of storage that can handle the most demanding requirements your application may throw at it, a powerful database service that is both easy to use and flexible enough for the unique requirements of web applications, and several other services that satisfy your dynamic web hosting needs.
With the advent of high definition, on-demand digital media, Media and Entertainment (M&E) companies are challenged to evolve their IT infrastructure fast enough to keep up with the demands of their customers. Producing, editing and distributing media assets cost-effectively requires an automated supply chain workflow supported by significant IT infrastructure. AWS offers economical, elastic, and on-demand compute and storage capacity to address the challenges of M&E companies.
Decreasing costs and rapid technological innovation have resulted in a tremendous increase in the volume and throughput of biological data being generated at large research institutes, individual labs and biopharma companies. At the same time, Life Sciences research is becoming increasingly collaborative and complex, leveraging multiple technologies to get a systems level understanding of diseases and organisms. Bioinformaticians, software developers and IT departments are now leveraging AWS to create scalable and highly available IT infrastructures.

Atlanta started the second half of the game with another shot, another chance to put some points on the board and erase a five-point deficit. They started that attempt with a handoff to Michael Turner, who has found running room hard to come by in the game. He picked up two yards.
Atlanta went back to Turner who made a classic power run for nine yards and the first down. Back to Turner on that first down, and he was stuffed by Jason Pierre-Paul for one-yard loss.
Chris Canty, the man with the scariest face mask in the NFL, got his hand on the ball, sending it straight up and off course. Mercy granted the Falcons a break when nobody came up with the jump ball. Pierre-Paul and Aaron Ross were both hurt on the next play.
Third-and-long, Ryan throws down the field to Roddy White, but Corey Webster had him smothered in coverage. Pass incomplete, and the Falcons' punting team was on the field again.
SB Nation's NFL bloggers made predictions for Wild Card weekend and here's a look at the updated NFL playoffs schedule for Sunday. Check out Big Blue View for the latest on the Giants and The Falcoholic for the latest on the Falcons.

Crowley begins restoration project
Date: June 26, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
The restoration and rehabitation of Crowley Museum and Nature Center's 190 acres has begun.
The historic Pine Level Trail and the majority of the pine flat woods have become dangerously overgrown and infested with invasive non-native foliage and is now a fire hazard not only to Crowley but to its natural inhabitants such as deer, bobcats and migratory bird species. By restoring the flat woods through controlled burns, underbrush clearing and the planting of healthy native plants, this practice will re-introduce many species of animals that have long since vacated the area.
During this process, Crowley will be minimizing its operating schedule for the safety of its visitors while the controlled burns and heavy equipment used for brush clearing are in operation. Beginning July 1 through Dec. 31, Crowley will be open to the public from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays.
Crowley is currently seeking financial assistance to complete the project. Anyone interested in making a donation can do so at www.cmncfl.org/donate.htm.
For more information, call 322-1000.

Accelerating downloads with Trickle
Is your Internet connection groaning under the load of too many simultaneous downloads? If so, try Trickle, a simple application that gives you more granular control over network traffic.
High-volume downloads can make simultaneous interactive connections practically unusable. Just like in the bad old days of modems, users press keys and then wait for seconds for the server to finally echo the character on screen. TCP/ IP needs enough free capacity in both directions. No matter whether you are uploading or downloading, packets still travel in both directions. The device at the receiving end of the download is expected to acknowledge the receipt of every packet it receives, and obviously the receipt travels in the upload direction towards the source.

On Wednesday, February 16th, Professor Linda Jellum and students John Buckner, Janene Browder, David Cheng, Daniel Cole, Ron Daniels, Hal Higgins, Bert Hummel, Cam Kirbo, James Kurhajian, Collier McKenzie, Justin Purvis, Natalie Stroud, and Latoya Williams visited the Georgia State Legislature. Justin Purvis and Collier McKenzie organized the trip.
The group posed for a picture with Governor Nathan Deal (Mercer Alum), listened to Chief Justice Carol Hunstein give the State of the Judiciary address before a joint legislative session, watched the General Assembly vote on bills, and met with Senator Bill Hamrick (Chair of the Judiciary Committee), Attorney Robert Lystad (Mercer Alum), and Lobbyist Arthur Edge (Georgia Link). The trip was part of Mercer's new Legislative and Administrative Practicum Class in which students work with government offices throughout the state and learn about the legislative and administrative processes in the classroom. As Latoya Williams commented afterwards, "The trip to the Capitol was amazing. I have never been in the room with so much power before."

Police don't believe burglaries at four East Albany businesses over the weekend are related. They do remind business owners to make sure they protect their property.
Police say even the most simple things can help prevent a business from being burglarized. Even just making sure the property is clear of things like loose rocks, bricks, and cedar blocks can be helpful.
They say its not unusual to see a rash of burglaries like the ones that happened over the weekend in East Albany. Four businesses, including two restaurants, a beauty salon shop, and a liquor store were burglarized early Sunday morning.
As the holiday season approaches, a time when crime tends to pick up, police say its important to do a security assessment of your business.
" You look at your business and try and think like a criminal. If I wanted to rob this place or burglarize, what would I use to my advantage. If you have any overgrown trees or bushes around your business you may want to cut that back, if you have poor lighting you may want to install more lighting," says Captain Michael Persley, with the A.P.D.
Also, check your alarm and surveillance systems at least every other week to make sure they're working properly.
"The business may have some other checks and balances such as the manager coming in and checking it to see what activity happened the night before, especially with your alarm system, making sure that it is properly connected to the monitoring location so police can be notified if there is an activation," says Persley.
And try not to keep large amounts of cash at your business. Police advise business owners to make regular drops.
"If you do keep any amount in the store, very small amounts and keep it in a safe. If a person is breaking in they are not really going to spend a lot of time breaking into a safe. They want to go for the cash as quickly as possible but the harder you make it the less likely you'll be a target," he says.
And if you do see suspicious activity around your business, don't hesitate to contact police.

West Virginia University
senior Petra Zublasing concluded her competition time at the 2012 London
Summer Olympics with a 12th-place finish in the women's 50m rifle 3
positions, today, inside the Royal Artillery Barracks.
Zublasing, a native of Appiano, Italy, shot 581 (192 prone, 194
standing, 195 kneeling), two shots short of qualifying for the event
final. Included in her score were 29 total inner 10s.
Jamie Lynn Gray (USA) shot an Olympic record en route to winning
the Gold medal with a final score of 691.9. She shot a qualifying score
of 592, also an Olympic record, and 99.9 in the final.
Ivana Maksimovic (Serbia) won Silver with a score of 687.5 (590,
97.5), and Adela Sykorova (Czech Republic) earned Bronze with a final
total of 683.0 (584, 99.0).
Of note, the rifle 3 positions qualification round was shot in
an outdoor range, and athletes had to battle steady wind and rain
Today's result is the second 12th-place finish of the Games
for Zublasing, as she also placed 12th in air rifle on July 28. The
three-time National Rifle Association First Team All-American will
return to Morgantown at the conclusion of the Games and prepare for her
final season with the Mountaineers.
The last rifle shooting event of the Games, the men's 50m
rifle 3 positions, is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 6. Nicco Campriani
(Italy), ranked No. 1 in the world, will shoot for his third final
appearance and second medal of the Games; he won Silver in the men's
10m air rifle on July 30. Seventh-year Mountaineer coach Jon Hammond
(Great Britain) also is scheduled to shoot. A link to the live event
final, scheduled for 8:40 a.m. ET, can be found at www.WVUsports.com.

Hi everyone,
My names Lizzie and I just started treatment yesterday, My Dermo put me on 30mg and I'm pretty excited to start seeing some results.
But I should probably give you all some background of my skin condition.
So I'm 15 and I have had Acne for about 3 years now. I have been prescribed too much to remember and sadly none have had a lasting effect. So here I am finally giving Roaccutane a go.
I plan to try and give updates weekly but unfortunately I have exams approaching so posts might not be as frequent as I hope.
I'm really excited but also quite nervous and if there is anybody going through this at the same time as me, please do get in touch because I'll be interested to hear other peoples accounts of it.
Likewise, if you have any questions for me, I will be more than happy to reply.

LONDON -- Tamika Catchings, Sue Bird and the rest of the U.S. womens basketball players couldnt help but notice how NBA stars LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant were treated as they marched together in the Olympics Opening Ceremonies on Friday night.
We were joking about it, how all the other athletes were flocking to those guys, Catchings said. Everywhere they went, a trail of people followed. It doesnt make us mad. We accept it. It was just kind of funny. To be honest, Im not sure I want to be that famous. I like to be able to live a somewhat normal life, go to the movies, to eat, and be recognized here and there.
But a little more recognition for the U.S. womens basketball dominance sure would be nice, she conceded.
In due time, credit will be given, Catchings said.
Maybe. Maybe not. If the U.S. women havent captivated their nation by now, its hard to imagine what they could do that would make them more popular.
Consider: The U.S. women have won the past four Olympic gold medals (the men settled for bronze in 2004). After Saturdays 81-56 opening victory over Croatia, they extended their win streak to 34 consecutive Olympic games since 1992. Repeat: They have not lost an Olympic game in 20 years.
Only one team has come within single digits of the Americans since 1996. They have won their Olympic games by an average of 29 points, and four years ago in Beijing, they won their games by an average margin of 37.6 points.
And yet, the average American sports fan would have a hard time naming five players on the current Olympic roster.
Why is that? Why dont they get more attention? Why are the U.S. womens soccer players more popular than they are despite having lost the World Cup final last summer and played for a league that folded?
I have my theories, U.S. coach Geno Auriemma said, breaking into a grin. I think when you live in the United States and youre a great womens basketball player, or a great womens basketball team, you happen to live in the country where the best basketball players in the world live: the mens team. So, youre always going to be compared to that team, those players, and youre always going to come up short.
He shrugged, and then continued.
Thats just the nature of the game. Basketball is the most popular womens team sport in America, he said. Yes, the soccer team gets a lot of attention, once every four years. During the regular year, all the other times, womens basketball gets just about all the attention of any womens team sport in America. But when it comes time for the Olympics, its like, Yeah, theyre going to win. And thats unfortunate and unfair to these players, and those that came before them and I dont know theres anything we can do about that. It is like UConn.
The only story thats going to come out of this Olympics is if we lose. And that would be a big story. Then the U.S. womens basketball team would be very, very popular.
Team captain Sue Bird played for Auriemma at UConn. She knows from domination. And she remembers a few years ago when the Huskies won a record 90 consecutive games, and critics said it was bad for the sport.
If a mens team were to ever do that, I dont think theyd ever call it bad for the sport, Bird said. It would be applauded. Its not something Im concerned about. Im not mad. Do I notice it? Yeah, of course.
And I just dont really get that. I dont get how you cant applaud dominance and consistency.
Croatia, a team the United States beat by 54 points in a warm-up match, was tied with the United States early in the second half before the Americans turned it up a notch and wound up winning big with 14 points by Tina Charles, 13 from Angel McCoughtry and 11 from Candace Parker. But it wasnt easy.
Ana Lelas, a Croatian player, said she felt honored to open the Games against the best team in the world. She said that although fans might not appreciate the U.S. dominance, their opponents do.
They have the best girls, the best league, the most experience, and it is hard to compete, she said. They are unbelievable players, they understand the game, and it would be kind of easy to coach them.
Catchings and Bird both said their biggest fans (literally and figuratively) are NBA players.
To be honest, I think mens basketball players are the most appreciative of womens basketball players in the world. I can tell what they say, what they know, Catchings said.
Bird recalled a conversation she had with a U.S. mens player at the Beijing Olympics. The WNBA was in midseason, took a break for the Olympics, and this player said to her: Oh, so youre second in the West, Phoenix is behind you by two games? She replied, I dont even know that. Im not even watching that close. They know. They watch. Theyre basketball fans. Its cool.
As for the rest of the world, the U.S. women believe they take their team for granted.
Said Bird: People ask, Oh, when are you guys playing? And Ill say, Oh, tomorrow, 4:45. And theyll say, Oh, who? When I tell them its Croatia, they say, Oh, we dont want to go to that one. She paused for a moment, and then said, But hey, its their loss.

Skin Care, 365 Days a Year
Summer isnt the only time to practice healthy habits.
While many people are diligent about slathering on the sunscreen or checking for suspicious moles during summer months, most seem to forget about good skin care practices when the temperature drops. The official season of sun may be ending, but we still need to pamper our skin daily. Here are some tips from the experts for beautiful, healthy skin:
Quench your skin's thirst:
According to the National Institute on Aging (NIA), dry skin is a common problem that can be caused by many reasons from diabetes to smoking. If dry skin is left untreated, you become prone to complications like infections that can be far worse than more obvious aesthetic issues. The NIA recommends staying out of the sun, drinking plenty of liquids and using lotion daily to help keep your skin looking and feeling healthy. Avoid harsh soaps and hot water, and consider getting a humidifier if you think your indoor air could use some moisture. For more helpful info from the National Institute on Aging, visit www.nia.nih.gov.
Know your ABCs:
All over the world, one acronym has helped countless people stop skin cancer in its tracks: ABCDE. The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) urges individuals to remember what each letter stands for while performing self-exams. "A" is for asymmetry (a mole with one side very much unlike the other). "B" is for border (moles with poorly defined edges) and "C" represents color (varied shades of brown or even red and blue). "D" should remind you that many cancerous lesions are more than six millimeters in diameter, and "E" stands for evolving, or anything that looks different in size, color or shape from other skin areas. The AAD notes that you should be meticulous while you self-examine, using a hand mirror to check your back, neck and scalp. You can find specific exam instructions and photos at www.aad.org.
Don't ditch the sunscreen after summer:
Think twice before packing up the sunscreen when the weather cools down. Groups like the Skin Cancer Foundation (www.skincancer.org) note that while it may not be sunny and 80 degrees, the sun is still up in the sky every day. Whether you're waiting for the bus, raking leaves or skiing, your face is especially vulnerable to UV rays. Use at least 15 SPF, and remember to reapply if you're active outside for long periods of time. In addition to sunscreen, the Skin Cancer Foundation recommends sunglasses for protecting your eyes and eyelids, as well as a wide-brimmed hat to shade the back of your neck.
Taking cooler showers, applying lotion and checking for skin irregularities are quick and easy ways to protect yourself, so establish good, year-round skin care habits today.

Familiar faces coming to town
Houston (4-9) vs. Los Angeles (10-3), 7:05 p.m. CT
HOUSTON -- The upcoming series with the Dodgers will feature several familiar names who filled various roles with the Astros over the years. Only this time, those old friends will be in Dodgers uniforms, each having departed Houston and landed in Los Angeles via free agency.Brad Ausmus, Houston's catcher for 10 years and for five of their six playoff appearances since 1997, is now a backup for the Dodgers. His uniform No. 11 is now on the back of his good friend and former teammate, Mike Hampton, who still receives text-message reminders from Ausmus -- "Remember last year when I hit a home run off you?" The last time Astros fans saw Ausmus, the catcher had suited up for the final game of the season in September, saluted the crowd during a pregame ceremony that included a hearty sendoff, and hit a home run off Hampton, who was pitching for the Braves. Hampton was also auditioning for a job in 2009, preferably with the Astros. That he allowed a home run to the light-hitting Ausmus clearly didn't sway the Astros away from signing him. Fans haven't seen Ausmus since that game, but his friends have heard from him, mostly via text message. "Knock knock," Ausmus will text Hampton. "Who's there? I hit a home run off you last year." Ausmus isn't the only former Astros player who will be in the visitor's dugout this week. Mark Loretta, who played for Houston in 2002 and again from 2007-08, is a utility infielder for the Dodgers, and Randy Wolf, who was traded here before the deadline last year, will start for L.A. on Wednesday. Wolf is the only one of the three with a starting role, and entering his upcoming start, he has a 1-1 record and a 3.93 ERA. Ausmus has appeared in two games, logging three hits in seven at-bats. Loretta has played in seven games, recording five hits in nine at-bats. The Dodgers were planning to use three left-handed starters during this series but instead slotted righty Chad Billingsly to pitch Thursday's finale. Jeff Keppinger, who missed the first series of this homestand with the Reds with a sore back, is expected to start at third for the first two games, when the Astros face the left-handers. Keppinger, the right-handed-hitting half of the third-base platoon, is 3-for-6 against lefties this season. Meanwhile, Lance Berkman, who knocked a solo homer on Monday, made sure to take swings from the right side of the plate during his extra round of batting practice that afternoon, in anticipation of the upcoming Dodgers series. "Whenever you know you're going to face some left-handed pitching, particularly when you get a string of two or three guys in a row, I want to make sure I'm as sharp as I can be from the opposite side," he said. "That's the thing that kind of stinks about being a switch-hitter. I'm so concerned about my left-handed swing, then all of a sudden, we're facing two or three lefties in a row, and now, I have to remember what it was like to hit right-handed. I'm just trying to keep everything maintained." Pitching matchup
HOU: RHP Russ Ortiz (0-0, 6.23 ERA)
Ortiz had his longest performance so far this season in his last outing vs. the Pirates, allowing three runs over 4 2/3 innings in an Astros win. He still seeks his first win and will do so against the Dodgers, whom he's faced plenty of times in his career. The former Giants pitcher has made 22 appearances vs. the Dodgers, including 21 starts. He has a record of 8-9 and a 5.07 ERA, with 57 walks and 76 strikeouts. LAD: LHP Clayton Kershaw (0-0, 1.50 ERA)
Kershaw pitched a masterpiece of a no-decision against the Giants, allowing only one hit and one run over seven innings with 13 strikeouts. All he had to show for it was a no-decision, as the bullpen blew the save. But Kershaw, 21, was able to contain a veteran lineup despite lacking command of his changeup, becoming the youngest Dodger to strike out 13 since Sandy Koufax was 19. Tidbits
Berkman is tied with Craig Biggio with 291 career home runs, second on the club's all-time list. Jeff Bagwell leads the franchise with 449. ... After a solid first outing, Felipe Paulino has been guaranteed another start. "After that performance?" manager Cecil Cooper asked, referring to Paulino's six shutout frames on Sunday against the Reds. "It's his turn, yeah." Tickets
