New officers elected to ODU's Board of Visitors
(The Virginian-Pilot, September 14, 2012)
Fred Whyte, president of Stihl Inc., was elected Thursday to lead Old Dominion University's governing Board of Visitors.
He succeeds David Bernd, chief executive officer of Sentara Healthcare, as rector of the 17-member board.
Whyte, 65, was appointed to the board by Gov. Bob McDonnell in 2010. As president of Stihl, he heads the German-owned power-tool manufacturer's U.S. division, based in Virginia Beach.
Also elected were Barry Kornblau as vice rector and Andrea Kilmer as secretary.
Kornblau, retired chairman and CEO of Summit Realty Group in Richmond, was appointed to the board by then-Gov. Tim Kaine in 2007 and reappointed by McDonnell in 2011. Kilmer, vice president and chief financial officer of The ESG Companies in Virginia Beach, was appointed by McDonnell in 2011.
Kornblau and Kilmer are ODU alumni. (More)

Joe Bisson shows improvement at Old Dominion Speedway
(Inside NOVA, September 13, 2012)
Joe Bisson is running stronger this season in Legends at Old Dominion Speedway.The 22-year-old King George driver is 10th in points, despite missing four races. And he's taken home three top fives and five top 10s and led some impressive laps.
"I've been pretty happy with racing this year, considering that I didn't spend much money in the off-season and didn't change anything on the car and was able to come out and run more competitively," Bisson said.
Bisson, who is studying engineering with a specialization in motorsports at Old Dominion University, likes the challenge of racing. He loves coming to ODS on Saturdays and trying to improve.
"It's fun to go out there and work hard and see the benefits of all the work," he said. "It's a challenge, but when you do well, it's really rewarding." (More)

Exhibit features images meant to have bite
(The Virginian-Pilot, September 13, 2012)
One set of photographs shows people who live in motels, weariness etched on their faces as they sit in often-dismal surroundings.
Another series includes photographs from the Occupy Wall Street movement, visceral black-and-white images framing people sleeping under tarps and getting arrested.
The photographs - part of "Photographs With Teeth," an exhibit that opens Saturday at the Baron and Ellin Gordon Art Galleries at Old Dominion University - are intended to be hard-hitting, and provocative.
"They're photographs that aren't just pretty pictures," said Greta Pratt, an assistant photography professor at ODU who curated the exhibit and is showing her own photography.
"Photographs With Teeth" is a month-long exhibit running in conjunction with ODU's annual literary festival, this year called "Words With Teeth." It features the work of four female photographers as they explore the working class, socioeconomic inequality and the rhetoric of patriotism. (More)
Democrat publisher Dorsey leaving for new post
(Tallahassee.com, September 13, 2012)
Pat Dorsey, president and publisher of the Tallahassee Democrat, announced Wednesday he has accepted the same post with the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
Dorsey, 44, has been the Democrat's publisher since August 2005, when the newspaper was purchased by Gannett, an international media and marketing solutions company that owns a powerful network of broadcast, digital, mobile and publishing properties. ...
Dorsey guided the Democrat's aggressive digital transition over the last several years. In July 2010, the Democrat became one of the nation's first newspapers to adopt a "full-access paid subscription" model, in which readers paid for access to the newspaper's online content. Dorsey said almost 70 percent of Democrat subscribers have activated their online accounts, a rate he said, "is the highest I've ever heard of; the best (other newspapers) get to is about 40 to 50 percent."
Dorsey also oversaw the newspaper's increased focus on local news.
"Much earlier than most newspapers, we turned our focus on the community, which I've said all along is our strategic edge," Dorsey said. "We can cover Tallahassee better than anyone in the world."
Dorsey is a graduate of Old Dominion University (Va.) and worked as a certified public accountant before joining Gannett 19 years ago. (More)
The 700 club and the Virginian Pilot for Kitchenability
(Kitchenability Blog, September 13, 2012)
The Day of Kitchenability started at 5:30 am. I Woke up a little jittery, ready for my big appearance on the CBN's 700 club. Hair and makeup came at 5:45am Shannan did a fabulous job! Before you knew it I looked like a new woman ready to take on national television.
7am came and before you knew it we were being picked up by the executive producer. My amazing publicist Stephanie stood by me the whole time. ...
After we finished the show I felt a sense of accomplishment. We grabbed a quick lunch re-charged our batteries and we were off to Old Dominion University. A reporter from the Virginian Pilot was writing a story on Kitchenability 101 and having 2 local college students make 2 of my dishes in their dorm room suite kitchen. I stopped in and the joy on the two girls faces made me melt. They treated me like I was a celebrity telling me how much they loved the book..."saying can I hug you!!!" I was just in pure "bliss" the photographer there took photos of us. They were so excited to tell me what they had made from my book. They waited to see my reaction to their cooking skills as they poured me a bowl of chicken noodle soup. They also made the peanut-butter butter fluff drenched brownies. I was so proud to see these two girls enjoy cooking and see how Kitchenability is not just a book, not just a word, but a true movement. (More)
Political-ad tsunami swamps southeast Virginia
(The Washington Times, September 11, 2012)
Hampton Roads, the military-laden community on Virginia's southeastern shoreline, is drowning in advertising.
It's a swing region at every level: Rep. E. Scott Rigell, a Republican, is in the toughest battle for re-election of any of the state's 11 congressmen, Virginia's U.S. Senate race between two state political heavyweights is among the most competitive in the nation, and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney needs to win in Hampton Roads in order to offset increasingly Democratic Northern Virginia.
All of those campaigns - and the 14 independent groups that also are advertising in the region - make Hampton Roads more saturated than any major city in the other battleground states of Florida, Nevada, Colorado or Ohio.
"We are ground zero," said Gary Byler, chairman of the Republican Party in the state's 2nd Congressional District. "People always say, 'This is the most important election of the lifetime. But what is true is that this is the one that's had by far the most impact on my life." ...
"There's this battle between the defense hawks and deficit hawks," said Jesse T. Richman, a political science professor at Old Dominion University in Norfolk.
"People are struggling to find work because they retired from the military, and contractors they'd otherwise be working for have frozen hiring in anticipation," Mr. Richman said. (More)
American reaction to tragedy of 9/11
(WAVY-TV, September 11, 2012)
When terrorist planes hit the Twin Towers on 9/11, heroes came out of the woodwork.
As individuals, Americans did what they always do as a whole - we did not really know what to do.
"The reactions to September 11 were alternately extremely prissy and amazingly hardcore and we went back and forth continuously and we're still doing it," Old Dominion University political scientist Aaron Karp said. "Why is it that we're still commemorating September 11 in the same way? The families have largely moved on."
Karp says historically, America has moved on from tragedy more quickly. He says there has been a decision to longer on 9/11 and make it a touchstone for the future of society.
Karp told WAVY.com America used to be defied as a nation of self-invention. He says now, it is all about learning lessons from history, perpetuating history and honoring it. (More)
U.Va. retains No. 2 spot in U.S. News ranking
(Richmond Times-Dispatch, September 12, 2012)
With the dust-up still unsettled and state lawmakers weighing their role in the dispute, the University of Virginia at least won't see its national standing diminished as a result of the summer's attempted coup.
U.S. News & World Report's ranking of best colleges for 2013, released today, keeps U.Va. in the No. 2 spot among national public universities.
But if the reputation of the state's flagship university was unblemished, that could be more the benefit of timing than a measure of the repercussions resulting from the governing board's unsuccessful ouster of U.Va. President Teresa Sullivan.
Peer assessments and rankings by high school counselors had largely been completed by June 10, when the board announced Sullivan's resignation. ...

President: ODU Guided by 'Entrepreneurial Spirit'
(New Journal and Guide, September 9, 2012)
Old Dominion University continues to take bold steps into the future a few weeks after President John R. Broderick delivered his annual address.
For example, a new art building will open on campus in early 2014. Meanwhile, a team of graduate accounting students recently won the Government Finance Case Challenge for the second year in a row. And the CIVIC Leadership Institute has partnered with the university to work to keep more talented people in the area.
"Community engagement is one of the key initiatives in Old Dominion's strategic plan," said President John Broderick. "Partnering with an organization with the stature and strength of CIVIC opens new opportunities for the university to accomplish that goal."
Clearly, there is a lot of activity on campus since the president delivered his annual address on Aug. 21 in the Ted Constant Convocation Center to about 1200 community leaders and members of the university.
Broderick said for the long-term health of Old Dominion, it's vital that the university examine several critically important issues that connect to its goals.
With more than 25 percent of its student body connected to the military, ODU will continue to be military friendly. ODU has been recognized nationally as military-friendly. But the landscape is ever changing, Broderick said in his recent address. "Our review will determine the university's next generation of support and services for our men and women in uniform."
The port and maritime industry are another priority. The port is a critical component of the economic vitality of the commonwealth, Broderick said. ODU is examining ways to extend its research and academic programs to help grow this resource. (More)
Is the Energy Boom a Mirage?
(The Virginian-Pilot, September 9, 2012)
By Steve A. Yetiv
The United States is experiencing a boom in oil and natural gas production - one that many people, including Mitt Romney, see as a game-changing, tectonic shift in our energy picture. But while the boom is real, the benefits are less than meet the eye.
The U.S. produces 1.6 million more barrels of oil each day now than it did in 2008. That's a significant increase in a world that consumes around 89 million barrels per day, with the U.S. accounting for about a quarter of that amount.
In addition, America's net petroleum imports have fallen from 60 percent of total consumption in 2005 to 42 percent today. This is partly because of new discoveries and the reclamation of "tight oil" using hydraulic fracturing technology that shoots pressurized liquids into compact, underground rock formations - the same technology driving the natural gas boom.
But what does this oil boom really mean? Will it deliver lower oil prices and enhance energy security, which is what most Americans want and many may expect?
We should not be overly optimistic. ...
Steve A. Yetiv, a professor of political science at Old Dominion University and the author of "The Petroleum Triangle," wrote this for The New York Times. He can be reached at www.odu.edu/~syetiv. (More)
Port could have made better decisions, report says
(Inside Business, September 7, 2012)
While the Port of Virginia is recovering from the hit it took from the recession, past decisions have kept it from reaching its full potential, according to a report from an Old Dominion University economist.
James Koch, president emeritus of the university, drafted the report at the request of Sean Connaughton, Virginia's secretary of transportation, whose office is in the midst of deciding whether one of three private firms should take over the port's operations from Virginia International Terminals.
In the report, Koch says APM Terminals, The Carlyle Group and RREEF Real Estate have made good offers, but the port has room to negotiate better terms.
The Port of Virginia is the third busiest on the East Coast. However, Gov. Bob McDonnell isn't pleased with its performance. Last year, he replaced all but one of the Virginia Port Authority's board members.
"All of its current challenges can't be attributed to the recession," Koch says in the report. "Some of the port's challenges relate to past strategic decisions made by the port and generous public infrastructure investments made by competitor states and more rapid regional economic development in regions serviced by our competitors."

On budget, on time and as part of a team
(Inside Business, September 7, 2012)
A common sight in Hampton Roads is a construction venue wearing the black and red block logo of S.B. Ballard Construction.
The man behind the logo is Stephen Ballard, company president, who prides himself on staying in budget and delivering projects on time.
Many of Ballard's projects are schools in Norfolk, Virginia Beach and Suffolk as well as Wise County in the southwestern corner of the state. This could be considered an irony since Ballard admits to being "not the smartest student" while at Norfolk's Maury High School. ...
Ballard was a freshman at Old Dominion University in the mid 1970s when he stumbled into the construction business. He was working at renovating houses while attending classes.
While waiting to speak with a professor, he was balancing his checkbook. The professor walked in and caught a glimpse of Ballard's paycheck.
"He said, 'You're making more money than I am,'" Ballard said.
"That is when I thought maybe college was not for me. It would be better for me to complete a trade."
He now has an honorary degree from ODU, and the school's football team plays on Foreman Field at Ballard Stadium. (More)

Glut of apartments raises concern
(Inside Business, September 7, 2012)
A Richmond public relations and marketing group specializing in real estate is alarmed that too many apartments are being built in Virginia, including Hampton Roads.
If it continues, areas of the state, mostly in the dense metropolitan regions, will be flooded with apartments, leading to a glut, much like rise and fall of the housing market, the group says.
"We [aren't] saying that there's a bubble about to burst in the next few months," said Andrew Ryan, a partner with Commonwealth Partnerships Group in a meeting with Inside Business.
"Rather, based on trends and developments we were seeing throughout the state, including Hampton Roads, we wanted to raise a flag about a potential glut of apartment supply, which could create a bubble, especially as new apartment projects continue to be proposed and built."
The Census Bureau's quarterly data on rental vacancy rates shows Hampton Roads' rental vacancy rate at 14.4 percent, a big jump from the first quarter 2012 rate of 6.8 percent, Ryan said.
Old Dominion University's 2012 Multi-Family Market Report found that the Hampton Roads area "saw a decrease in demand in 2011" in terms of apartment units absorbed.
"According to the report, this rate was less than half the rate of absorption in 2009 and 2010," Ryan said.
"The Census Bureau's statistics on the high vacancy rate coupled with the soft demand coming from the ODU report struck us as potentially alarming, especially given the coming loss of three ships - and at least 1800 service members and their families - and the possible defense cuts. (More)

Les Baux-de-Provence
The defensive possibilities of Les Baux led to the site being settled early on in human history. Traces of habitation have been found dating back as far as 6000 BC, and the site was used by the Celts as a hill fort or oppidum around the 2nd century BC. During the Middle Ages it became the seat of a powerful feudal lordship that controlled 79 towns and villages in the vicinity. The lords of Baux sought control of Provence for many years. They claimed ancestry from the Magus king Balthazar and placed the Star of Bethlehem on their coat of arms. Despite their strengths, the lords of Baux were deposed in the 12th century. However, the great castle at Les Baux became renowned for its court, famed for a high level of ornateness, culture and chivalry. The domain was finally extinguished in the 15th century with the death of the last princess of Baux, Alice of Baux. Les Baux was later joined, along with Provence, to the French crown under the governance of the Manville family. It became a centre for Protestantism and its unsuccessful revolt against the crown led Cardinal Richelieu in 1632 to order that the castle and its walls should be demolished. The town was granted in 1642 to the Grimaldi family, rulers of Monaco, as a French marquisiate. To this day the title of Marquis des Baux remains with the Grimaldis, although administratively the town is entirely French. The title is traditionally given to the heir to the throne of Monaco. Princess Caroline of Monaco uses the style Marquise des Baux, but, being a French title it can only pass through a male line under Salic law. It lapsed on the death of her grandfather Prince Louis II, the last male in a direct line. In 1822 the mineral bauxite was discovered near Les Baux by the geologist Pierre Berthier. It was mined extensively in the area, but by the end of the 20th century had been completely worked out; France now imports most of its bauxite from west Africa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Baux-de-Provence

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

Linux Foundation Announces Secure Boot Solution
Linux Foundation announces that Linux will continue to operate under Secure Boot-enabled systems.
As reported previously in Linux magazine online news and by Brian Proffitt, all Windows 8 systems will ship with Secure Boot enabled. To recap, this UEFI specification associates the firmware with a signing key that prohibits users from installing a new operating system. The majority of Linux desktop systems are installed over an OEM version of Windows, so the potential for problems is significant.
This week, however, the Linux Foundation and its Technical Advisory Board announced their plan to enable Linux (and other open source distributions) to continue operating under Secure Boot enabled systems. In the announcement, James Bottomley wrote, "In a nutshell, the Linux Foundation will obtain a Microsoft Key and sign a small pre-bootloader which will, in turn, chain load (without any form of signature check) a predesignated boot loader which will, in turn, boot Linux (or any other operating system)."
According to the announcement, the pre-bootloader will employ a "present user" test to ensure that it cannot be used as a vector for any type of UEFI malware to target secure systems. "The pre-bootloader can be used either to boot a CD/DVD installer or LiveCD distribution or even boot an installed operating system in secure mode for any distribution that chooses to use it. The process of obtaining a Microsoft signature will take a while, but once it is complete, the pre-bootloader will be placed on the Linux Foundation website for anyone to download and make use of," Bottomley said.
Bottomley noted that this pre-bootloader "provides no security enhancements over booting linux with UEFI secure boot turned off," and the Linux Foundation welcomes efforts by various distros to tackle the problem and improve platform security. Thus, the pre-bootloader can be seen as a stop-gap measure giving distributions time to come up with plans that take advantage of UEFI secure boot.
You can read the announcement at linuxfoundation.org. The source code for the Linux Foundation pre-bootloader is available as Loader.c.

ARLINGTON — Building a new arena at the University of Texas at Arlington was a big step in trying to change the perception of the school's basketball program.
"Over the year since we've opened this building, the coverage that the university has gotten is unbelievable, and it's well deserved," said UTA athletic director Jim Baker. "Anything national just puts the spotlight on us."
This week, that national spotlight singled out head coach Scott Cross, who was named by Forbes magazine as one of the top ten coaches for the best "bang for the buck" at the mid-major level.
"I was humbled and grateful to be included with those great coaches," Cross said. "Obviously, it's a tribute to my staff and the players that we've had, because — bottom line — you have to have a great staff; you've got to have great players in order to win basketball games."
"I think its just a tribute to what Scott has done over his years here," Baker added. "Nothing surprises me with that, and it's something that's well deserved."
Unlike the pros in college, it's the coaches who are the face of the program. When you think of places like Kentucky, you immediately think of John Calipari. When you think of UTA, you think of Scott Cross — but that is where the similarity ends.
Using last season's win totals, Cross won 24 games on a salary of $150,000. That's about $6,250 per win.
Calipari won 38 games, and based on his salary of $4 million, each victory cost Kentucky $105,000.
"The amount of money that the mid-majors spend compared to the high majors is like apples to oranges," Cross said. "It's a big difference. We don't have the same resources, but we're trying to get there."
Cross led UTA to it's first NCAA tournament appearance in 2008, and said what keeps him going is having the chance to continue to do things that have never been done before.
"At a place like Kentucky, if you don't win a national championship, nothing is good enough," Cross said. "If we win a game in the NCAA tournament, people are going to go nuts!"

Download The Entire Tynan Blog Kindle Ebook up to ~March 2012
Months ago, I compiled all of Tynan's blog posts into a Kindle friendly mobi file so I could read on the go. It was also an interesting project to sharpen my PHP skills. Tynan gave his blessing so I present to you the entire Tynan archives.
Tynan Blog Mobi with Images (~21 megabytes)
Tynan Blog Mobi without Images (1.6 megabytes)
Note, the ebook only goes up to February/March 2012 since that's when I my program. Since the website is using SETT now rather than Wordpress, I can't make it an updated one.
I also have a few others like Tim Ferriss and Sebastian Marshall (it's been months and i'm still reading his posts). Let me know if you guys are interested or know of any other great authors.

As contractors continue cleaning up the debris left by Hurricane Isaac, residents who suffered losses are beginning to file claims with FEMA. And that's the topic of this week's Commentary by Eyewitness News Political Analyst and Gambit columnist Clancy DuBos.
Clancy DuBos / Eyewitness News Political Analyst
Now comes the really hard part of hurricane recovery: dealing with FEMA. As Eyewitness News reported earlier this week, you have to be both patient and persistent when dealing with the federal agency.
FEMA offers emergency assistance for homeowners and renters, but it doesn't always treat every application as an "emergency." As one official put it, a denial may simply mean that FEMA wants more information. Or, as my teenage son likes to say, "no" doesn't necessarily mean "no," it just means, "not yet."
This is a lesson that many learned after Hurricane Katrina. Many who were turned away early gave up — but those who persisted often got results.
I remember one FEMA official telling me a few years ago that the best strategy for dealing with the agency is simply never to give up. Remember, FEMA is part of the federal government; it's not a drive-through bank teller. It's not set up for quick cash. You have to dot every "i" and cross every "t."
It can be frustrating, even infuriating. But if you have a good claim, stick with it. Hopefully, FEMA — like the rest of us — learned some hard lessons from Katrina.

Who would have thought databases would become one of the most thrilling areas of technology? A visit to Couchbase in Palo Alto, Calif., this past week reminded me of how NoSQL is shaking things up. It's early days, but after all this time, it's fascinating to see cracks spreading across the SQL monolith.
For years, technologists and businesspeople concurred: Oracle was the gold standard in databases. The Oracle Database had the most features and the highest reliability, and it crushed its rivals. Sure, the licensing fees reflected Oracle's dominance, but paying for the best was worth it.
[ Andrew C. Oliver answers the question on everyone's mind: Which freaking database should I use? | Also on InfoWorld: The time for NoSQL standards is now | Get a digest of the key stories each day in the InfoWorld Daily newsletter. ]
Those who couldn't afford Oracle could always turn to the open source alternative MySQL. It wasn't industrial-strength like Oracle, but as a back end for Web applications, MySQL became wildly popular (no doubt a big reason why Oracle bought Sun).
That was it: Your choice of heavyweight and lightweight SQL solutions . . . from the same company, once MySQL fell into Oracle's clutches. Of course there were alternatives -- from IBM DB2 to Microsoft SQL Server to PostgreSQL -- but the database realm was generally an uneventful place to be.
NoSQL is changing all that. I don't mean to say that NoSQL is currently a major threat to Oracle's business, at least not to the part that serves high-throughput, high-availability transaction environments. But for highly trafficked Web applications with many reads and few writes, NoSQL databases make a compelling case for themselves.
What type of SQL databases am I talking about? Mainly, key value pair and document databases, the benefits to both of which were capably explained to me by Couchbase CEO Bob Wiederhold last week. (For a full taxonomy of NoSQL database types, see the excellent article "Which freaking database should I use?" by InfoWorld's Andrew Oliver.)

Beijing Calling
Derek Hardy was set to go to London for Study Abroad. But the Olympics changed his mind.
As he watched the television coverage, Hardy was lured in by the dramatic contrast between Beijing's modern architecture and ancient culture. As a financial economics major with minors in business administration and history, he was also intrigued by dichotomy of China's new economy.
At the eleventh hour, Hardy found a program at Peking University that was the perfect mix of academics and cultural activities. He ended up spending the spring and summer of 2009 studying and working as a business development intern at Zhanzou.net, China's second-largest social networking firm, which offered a product similar to Facebook.
"I was really interested in how they reconciled this deep-set Communist ideology with the world market," says Hardy, a Deer Isle, Maine, native and UMaine honors student. "It kind of feels like you would imagine the Wild West would feel. It's Communist, but you wouldn't know it. The streets are full of people selling stuff, and everyone has a back-of-the-napkin business plan they are trying hard to make work."
Hardy is co-president of SPIFFY, UMaine's Student Portfolio Investment Fund, which manages a $1.3 million endowment for the University of Maine Foundation, so he already had a working knowledge of global markets. He had also studied China's transition in his business classes. But nothing beats experiencing it firsthand.
"Reading about it, I didn't really understand how things worked. It's still pretty complicated, but it was good to see it in person," he said.
The experience set him up for his honors thesis on Maine-China trade relations, and he has been in touch with business leaders in both locations. Because of geography and demographics, Maine and China don't have a natural, obvious connection, but he says everyone he's spoken with is excited about the possibilities and recognize the importance of such trade ties.
Hardy will graduate in May, and he plans to return to China. He credits UMaine and the Honors College with instilling the value of a global mind-set, and for providing him with the broad cultural knowledge base he needed to succeed.
"It was great to prove to myself I could do something like that," Hardy says. "The high school-to-college jump is one thing, but to go to another country where I didn't know the language and I didn't know anyone, it was just great to know I could do that. There are a lot of jobs there now if you know Chinese, which I do now, and they really value people with a Western education. There are a lot of opportunities."

Fahrenheit 911
In FAHRENHEIT 9/11, Director Michael Moore examines the Bush administration's financial ties to Saudi Arabia and the bin Laden family. Fahrenheit 9/11 is a well-researched, highly controversial, and important documentary. Moore takes a detailed look into political events both before and after the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Moore reveals how the U.S. government helped the bin Laden family return to Saudi Arabia immediately after September 11, when all other flights were still grounded and examines military recruiting techniques in such poor areas as his own hometown of Flint, Michigan.
Also examines military recruiting techniques in such poor areas as his own hometown of Flint, Michigan.
He even attempts to get congressmen to enlist their own sons and daughters into the military.
FAHRENHEIT 9/11 is certainly a worthy successor to Moore's previous documentaries: THE BIG ONE, ROGER & ME, and BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE. Fahrenheit 9/11 – once again shining a light on the past, present, and future of the United States.

Host a Give Back Get-together for Haiti
January 27, 2010 at 3:08 pm , by cdewet
One thing people seem to agree on these days is that Haiti needs our help—why not make the focus of your next dinner party an opportunity to do just that? Lifestyle Expert Mark Addison has some great ideas on how to pull it off.
1. Just serve water in recognition that 90 percent of the population of Haiti don't have clean drinking water. Donate what you would have spent on beverages to a relief-based charity. PSI Safe Drinking Water Fund
2. Ask guests to bring a donated item from a list of needs (found UNICEF and Gifts That Give Back).
3. Only use items you have around the house for your party donate the money you would have spent to a Haiti Relief Fund, like the one set up by The Red Cross.
4. Find a local or national organization willing to ship or transport your collected items, like Artists for Peace and Justice.
5. Or try hosting a care package party where guests prepare boxes of goods to be sent to victims.

Pssst, say pal. Wanna buy a cemetery?
Theres an old joke were talking old: so old that the first person who heard it fell off his dinosaur laughing about a cemetery being such a peaceful place that people are just dying to get into it.
Its unlikely that anybody is dying to buy one, yet it is conceivable that one in Raleigh could eventually be on the market.
Hillcrest Cemetery on Garner Road is in bad shape, with sunken and unmarked graves, weeds and debris. It is being maintained, to the extent that it is being maintained, by Bruce Lightner, owner of Lightner Funeral Home.
There used to be three funeral homes responsible for maintaining the segregation-era, 3-acre lot, Lightner said, but now the responsibility is solely his. There was a gentlemens agreement between three black funeral homes back in the 1920s, but the other two stopped, he said. One went out of business, he said, and the other one decided it cost too much.
Not a lot
Lightners efforts to get Raleigh to take over the cemeterys maintenance have been unsuccessful because the city doesnt want to assume the cost and liability of maintaining it. City officials estimate the cost at $104,000 just to get it up to standards and about $80,000 a year after that. Lightner estimates the annual upkeep cost at $8,000.
Thats not a lot for a city, Lightner said. It would cost (the city) even more if it went belly up.
If it went belly up hey, thats his phrase, not mine with no one to take care of it, thats when it could go on the market, City Attorney Thomas McCormick told me Wednesday. If it became a nuisance property and no one had ownership, the city would go through the normal nuisance property process, and it could be sold in foreclosure, McCormick said.
Lightner said the original trio of funeral homes used to contribute $500 each annually, and that was sufficient to provide for mowing the grass, tending the graves and clearing away the debris and weeds.
Like everything else, though, the cost of caring for the deads final resting place has gone up. He estimates that it costs about $1,300 to mow the grass and haul away debris. Some people go over there and dump (stuff), he said angrily, twice a month for six months a year, depending upon how often and how much it rains.
Historically important
Lightner said he was told that one reason the city wont assume responsibility for maintaining the property, donated by his grandfather, is because its not historically important enough. My answer to that, he said, is that anyone who has lived a life is historically important.
Jimmy Thiem, chairman of the citys Historic Cemetery Advisory Board, told me that right now there are no criteria for establishing the historical significance of a cemetery. Criteria would have to be established, he said, to determine if it is or isnt historic.
Thiem said in an N&O story last month that the citys parks department, which oversees city-run cemeteries, doesnt have the money in its budget to take on another cemetery.
Lightner insists he doesnt have the money or, he said the time to continue paying for the upkeep of a cemetery with about 100 available plots. Its a financial hardship. Its not bringing in any money, but we dont want it to go to pot.
It wont, Lightner said, not as long as Im alive. But Im not going to live forever, and I want some peace of mind that its being taken care of.
He wont have that peace of mind, nor, Im guessing, will the souls of the people buried there, if it becomes just a piece of property with a For Sale sign on it.
The city doesnt have to dig all that deeply to ensure that Hillcrest is maintained and that the dead buried therein are left undisturbed and respected in death as many werent in life.

Fairchild Fashion Media
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (July 2012)
Fairchild Fashion Media (FFM), a division of Condé Nast Publications, is a publisher of fashion news and analysis. FFM brands include Women's Wear Daily, Style.com, Footwear News (FN), NowManifest, Beauty Inc, M and Fairchild Summits.
Fairchild Fashion Media's President and CEO is Gina Sanders, FFM Editorial Director is Peter Kaplan and FFM Chief Revenue Officer is Will Schenck.
The company originated in 1892 when a peddler by the name of Edmund Fairchild took over a failing newspaper that gave exclusive coverage to the men's clothing business. It was named Daily Trade Record (before turning into Daily News Record and eventually DNR) and included a small feature about women's wear. In July 1910, this feature was split from the paper and given its own publication that today is Women's Wear Daily. Other past publications in the Fairchild stable have included 'Home Furnishings Daily, Golf Pro Merchandising, Supermarket News, Electronic News, Metalworking News, Jane and W.
In 1968, the company—then named Fairchild Publications—was purchased by Capital Cities Communications. In a 1996 merger, Fairchild Publications became part of The Walt Disney Company, but it was subsequently sold in 1999 to Advance Publications, the parent company of Condé Nast Publications. Fairchild's consumer magazines, Jane and W, were eventually moved to Condé Nast, and the company sold its non-fashion trade magazines. In 2005, Advance Publications folded Fairchild Publications into the umbrella of Conde Nast Publications, and the company was subsequently rebranded as Fairchild Fashion Group. In 2008, DNR closed.
In 2010, Fairchild launched Menswear and expanded its consumer footprint with the addition of Style.com. In 2011, Fairchild Fashion Group rebranded to Fairchild Fashion Media in order to reflect the expanding portfolio of media brands, including substantial digital offerings. In October of that year, the company launched Style.com/Print, a glossy magazine entirely dedicated to giving fashion obsessives both a first view and a collectible distillation of a full collections season. In 2012, FFM made further changes by selling Fairchild Books to Bloomsbury Publishing and soon after, acquiring NowManifest, fashion blog aggregator featuring content from the fashion blogosphere.

---- — METHUEN — Several nurses set up shop near the School Street entrance of the senior center here last month, catching visitors for their signatures for a ballot initiative that would limit the number of patients a nurse can have at one time.
The proposal, which could reach the ballot for next year's gubernatorial and midterm Congressional election, would limit many nurses in hospitals to four patients at a time. Critical care and intensive care nurses and emergency room nurses would be limited to fewer patients, depending on those patients' conditions.
Hospitals and hospital groups oppose the proposal, saying it reduces flexibility by binding their hands in providing care and could jack up already high medical costs in the state.
"There is no limit to the number of patients a nurse cares for," said Karen Higgins, a staff nurse at Boston Medical Center and a member of the Massachusetts Nursing Association, which was collecting signatures here Oct. 22. "You could have four (per nurse) or you could have eight."
The petition would cap at four the number of patients most nurses, including emergency, pediatric, medical and surgical, according to a copy of the initiative. Intensive care or critical care nurses could only have one patient, or two if the patients' conditions are stable. Emergency room nurses would have between one and four, depending on the patients' conditions.
Donna Kelly-Williams, president of the Mass. Nurses Association, said in many situations four patients per nurse is ideal, but hospital and provider consolidation has led to a higher ratio.
"More patients are being assigned to nurses," she said, adding the trend has been getting worse over the last five years.
Lynn Nichols, president of the Massachusetts Hospital Association, said in a statement that the group opposes assigning ratio limits because "patient care is best determined by the care-giving team at the bedside, not by a government-set fixed formula. Patient care staffing decisions should always be based on the best interest of the patient – not a number. Nurses don't treat numbers, they treat people. Hospitals shouldn't be required to staff by numbers, either."
Kelly-Williams said that the requirements would mean more nurses would have to be hired, increasing payroll costs to hospitals. But she argued it would not increase the overall cost of care because high staffing levels would reduce expensive complications.
"Caring for the patient right the first time decreases the cost of care," she said.
Lawrence General Hospital did not provide a response to the proposal, but through a spokeswoman said that patient-to-nurse ratios are available on a state website at www.patientcarelink.org. Information is organized by hospital, and further by the floor or unit of a hospital.
Holy Family Hospital did not respond to a request for comment.
A 2004 study conducted by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, in the federal Department of Health and Human Services, found that lower staffing levels are linked to higher "adverse outcomes," including infection, pneumonia and internal bleeding.
However, two studies of a law similar to the Mass. Nurses' proposal enacted in California in 2004 showed conflicting results on the reduction of death or adverse outcomes.
Locally, Lawrence General Hospital's patients-per-nurse ratio in medical/surgical wings is a little more than three patients per nurse during the day and evening, according to state data. It is nearly six patients per nurse at night. The critical care and intensive care unit ratios are between 1.2 and 1.7 patients per nurse in the day and evening.
At Holy Family, the ratio in the medical units vary between 4.9 to 5.6 patients per nurse around the clock, according to state data. The intensive care and critical care ratio is 1.8 patients per nurse.
Several people at the senior center last month said they had not been in a situation where they noticed nurses were short staffed, but signed the petition to make sure it does not happen.
"I'm due to go into the hospital soon, and I want to make sure the care I get is good," said Tony Abati, who signed the petition at the senior center.
Signature gathering has been ongoing to months with the goal of keeping pressure on the Legislature, which is considering a similar bill. Nurse advocates in Methuen said the ballot initiative will move forward until either the governor signs a bill or the initiative is voted on in an election.
A proposal in the Legislature now would direct the state Department of Public Health to "develop nurse's patient assignment standards which shall be an ideal number of patients assigned to a direct-care registered nurse that will promote equal, high-quality, and safe patient care at all facilities," according to the state Senate version of the bill.
Jennifer Johnson, associate director of media relations for Mass. Nurses Association, said Higgins and Kelly-Williams gathered about 100 signatures in 2.5 hours at the Methuen senior center. In all, Mass. Nurses Association collected about 114,000 signatures statewide, and has sent them to cities and towns for certification.
Petitions must be filed by Nov. 20 and must have 68,911 – or 3 percent of the total ballots cast for governor in the last election – valid signatures to make it unto the 2014 ballot, according to the Secretary of the Commonwealth's office.

Melanoma Quick Facts
Melanoma is one of the fastest growing cancers in the U.S. and worldwide.
· According to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is now the most common of all cancers, with more than 3.5 million new cases diagnosed each year.
· One in 50 Americans has a lifetime risk of developing melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer.
· Every eight minutes, someone in the U.S. will be diagnosed with melanoma.
· Every hour of every day, someone will die from the disease.
· Melanoma is the most common form of cancer for young adults aged 25-29.
· Tanning beds are actually causing cancer at a higher rate than cigarette smoking. *
· On average, using an indoor tanning bed increases a person's odds of getting melanoma by approximately 75 percent.
Why are melanoma rates increasing? Some people are not protecting themselves from sun exposure while others subject themselves to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from indoor tanning beds and lamps. Depletion of the ozone layer may contribute to the increase in melanoma incidence because it allows more UV radiation to reach the earth's surface. (Melanoma Research Foundation, 2014)

The Vancouver Canucks were coming out of a safe and successful long-term relationship and it was thrilling because the new man in their lives was charismatic, unpredictable and, truth be told, a little dangerous.
In those heady early days, it also seemed like it might work. John Tortorella seemed to be pushing the right buttons. He seemed to be reaching something deep in this team. Everyone was happy and everyone believed he was a changed man.
And then things started to unravel.
It started innocently enough. A game against the Los Angeles Kings on Jan. 4 was the first late night at the office. The Canucks played recklessly, trying to settle an old score with Dustin Brown and his teammates. They lost the game, but everyone agreed they won the war. Except two nights later in Anaheim it was the same story and this time they were beaten to pulp.
The game against the Calgary Flames came two weeks later and now it was clear there were problems. The easy confidence was gone in the head coach. So were the glib answers. Now Tortorella was out of control and his team fell into chaos around him.
It would get ugly. Sure, they tried to patch things up. They said all the right things. They kept up appearances. There was even a run in March which reminded everyone of the good times. But when that trust is broken, it's hard to get it back.
On Thursday, the relationship finally ended and about all you can say at this point is, really, it's the best for all concerned.
It's hard to know how the Tortorella era will be remembered in the Canucks' archives. He wasn't Bill Laforge. He wasn't Tom Renney. Maybe he was a bit like Mike Keenan, except Tortorella wasn't brought in to remake the team. He was brought in to rekindle a fire.
And there was a fire, alight. It just wasn't what the Canucks hoped for when they brought in Torts. In the end, it consumed general manager Mike Gillis, virtually every player on the team, and left an ashen heap of the organization. Now they'll try to rebuild under a new man, Trevor Linden; A man with all the qualities you look for in a stable relationship.
But have they learned anything from this experience?
That's an interesting question. It's not like anyone should have been surprised by Tortorella's personality or his philosophy. He came in saying the Sedins would kill penalties and block shots. He came in saying he'd play his best players to the point of exhaustion. He didn't have a history of developing young players. He did have a history of alienating his players.
So guess what happened? The Sedins struggled mightily in the new world order. The Canucks' best players were worn to a nub. Zack Kassian, their best young player, averaged just under 13 minutes of ice time per game. Roberto Luongo's agent engineered a trade after the franchise goalie was passed over for the start in the Heritage Classic game. Ryan Kesler asked for a trade, in part because the "A" was taken off his jersey.
Yes, the Canucks should have seen this coming in September. But they were blinded by the other things they thought they saw in Tortorella. The iron hand. The unrelenting intensity. There was a belief the Canucks had grown soft and comfortable under Alain Vigneault and, under Torts' watch, the easy ride would be over. And it was.
So was the winning.
Again, in retrospect, it was a gross insult to players like the Sedins, Luongo, Kesler, Kevin Bieksa, etc., etc., that they needed a drill sergeant to get the best out of them. Those players were committed professionals. They were responsible for the most successful run in Canucks history. And suddenly they were being told they didn't care enough and we're bringing in someone who'll make you care.
It's little wonder no one in senior management was taking responsibility for Tortorella's hiring.
Again, if there's a lesson to be learned here, it's a simple one. There are no shortcuts in hockey. There are no instant fixes. You succeed by hiring good people to make intelligent, well-informed decisions. You build a team both on and off the ice which reflect the game's time-honoured values. In Trevor Linden, the Canucks have a man who has a chance to create that organization. But, after this season, it will take time. A lot of time.
In the end, Tortorella should have been a one-night stand for the Canucks; one moment of impulsiveness which should have been forgotten as quickly as the thought entered their mind. Instead, it turned into a bad marriage that will leave a lingering scar on this team. The Canucks might get better. You just wonder if they'll ever be the same.

The Shelby County Board approved the new fiscal year budget that would put the county nearly $235,000 in the black.
The proposed budget for fiscal year 2013-2014 counters the past year's budget which was just over $500,000 in deficit.
The budget takes into consideration the costs of health care for county employees that will take place in January with the implementation of the Affordable Health Care Act.
Budget amendments were also presented and approved to the 2012-2013 budget.
Jared Rowcliffe, Zoning administrator and Emergency Management administrator, was given a third title in board action Wednesday. The board approved Board Chairman Bruce Cannon's appointment of Rowcliffe as Program Compliance Oversight Manager for the CEFS public transit program.
"This is an IDOT (Illinois Department of Transportation) requirement," Cannon explained. Rowcliffe will be tracking IDOT funds for the program, manage ridership issues, and be the contact with CEFS. He will spend approximately 25 percent of his time in this position.
The board approved not only the appointment, but also the compensation amount for the position and a line item in the budget.
The board approved the Shelby County Health Department Food and Sanitation Ordinance which will allow for additional inspections of "high risk" food facilities. These include businesses that prepare food in advance and reheat them for customers.
"About 80 percent of food borne illness is from advance prepped foods," said Shelby County Health Department director Steve Melega.
Five board members voted against the ordinance.
The unanimously approved two of the three appointments offered by chairman Cannon.
Mose, Yockey, Brown and Kull were approved as accountants for the county and Marvin Debolt was reappointed to the Stewardson Fire Protection District.
However some board members objected the appointment of Robert Swiney as Public Defender. Eight members voted no.
"The judge (Bennett) made the recommendation," said Cannon. "The appointment will be for one year and the judge will monitor the situation. This vote is sending a clear message that there is a problem."

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - The families of 12 firefighters killed in an Arizona blaze have filed financial claims accusing public agencies of negligence and recklessness.
The claims filed Thursday seek more than $220 million from four public agencies. The mother of a Granite Mountain Hotshot and more than 30 Yarnell property owners also are pursing financial settlements.
Nineteen firefighters died June 30 when winds shifted on the Yarnell Hill Fire. More than 100 homes in Yarnell, northwest of Phoenix, were destroyed.
An attorney for the Central Yavapai Fire District says the agency doesn't believe there's a basis for similar claims. The city of Prescott has said it's not liable for the deaths or property loss.
The Yavapai County Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to a message Thursday. A spokesman for Gov. Jan Brewer declined comment.

Where can I find the coding for menu/navigation settings in Mobit?
Please read documentation you will find in documentation.
OK new to themes I want to install 2 themes. I can just use separate domain names. I own .net .com and .org for my domain. So my plan is to install Avada responsive theme on the .com site and your mobile theme on the .net site. Can I use the your detection script on the full size .com site to send users to the .net site? Thank you, Liz
Yes off course.
We like our theme right now for desktop but need a theme for mobile. You said that we should do another install of WP and install Mobit on it. How do I keep the data consistent on the original install of WP and the new install of WP?
We prefer import and export tool but if you refreshing your blog etc everyday it will be duplicate entry for you.
I switched to this theme for its mobile use but switched back to Queed theme. I encountered a major problem now. When I switched to this theme all my amember plugin commands no longer work. I have reinstalled amember plugin and the themes. It is like wordpress is ignoring the commands the plugin once held. Please help. This is a major issue as my site pubtutor.com is subscription based.
Thank you for purchase our template.
Are you try to use our template with your desktop theme at the same time with mobile switcher plugin?
I was trying to do so. I have decided its causing too much conflict with amember and stick with my other theme. However, the integration between amember(my subscription software) and wordpress got seperated with the installation of this theme.
We prefer seperate install. As we told in documentation. Mobile switcher plugin is making problem.

Uniform Victorian / Edwardian Terraces
Alongside the general poverty in nineteenth-century Limerick there were success stories and the middle class continued to grow. Terraces and a few detached and semi-detached villas were built on roads leading out of the city such as O'Connell Avenue, South Circular Road, Ennis Road and Mulgrave Street. Usually built of brick sometimes with arched or bay windows, with brick detailing around doorcases, often with long front gardens, and usually with elaborate cast-iron railings, they displayed some of the new domestic fashions from England. However, Georgian features and un-Victorian restraint in the form of flat windows, fine joinery detailing and conservative plasterwork, remained longer in Ireland. One of the most exuberant houses, dated to 1880, is Boru House, the childhood home of the writer Kate O'Brien. It has polychromatic brick and slates, a bay window, decorative timber gates, very unusual fretwork balusters to the staircase and the sculptured O'Brien emblem - a raised arm brandishing a sword - on the front gable. In terms of style the Edwardian period, from 1890 to 1914, is a distinctive episode that is moderately well represented in Limerick. Applied to speculative housing or one-off suburban houses, the Edwardian style gave a new flavour to Victorian building types. Edwardian suburban houses on O'Connell Avenue, Ennis Road and Shelbourne Road were of broadly two types. There were those, which at three storeys and sporting an assortment of balconies, oculi, porches and timbered gables, were brashly confident and almost without direct historical reference beyond the Victorian terrace. Others with horizontal mullioned windows, steeper and sometimes multiple roofs and prominent chimneys owed much to the Arts and Crafts style with its domestic medieval roots, and appear more subtly confident. Most were large houses for the middle class, but there were enclaves of smaller houses such as the simple, symmetrically conceived Verona Esplanade off O'Connell Avenue. View Buildings

Thieves hit a Collier County salvage yard and made off with thousands of dollars in goods - but not before getting their picture taken by surveillance cameras.
Collier County deputies say Jason Lafever and Melissa Berry stole 18 car rims from the Auto Village Salvage Yard in East Naples.
"Somebody came in and made eight trips from here back to the rims carrying two rims at a time," Holly Daye, owner of Auto Village Salvage Yard. "He came at 4:30 in the morning Monday morning. We noticed it Monday night. And he came back midnight Tuesday morning."
But Daye said that time, her son was ready and waiting.
"The guy came over here to the fence and started to crawl over it and he must have noticed something different than the night before," Daye said.
Daye says she believes thieves went as far as removing barbed wire from the fence and replaced it with this smooth wire just to get inside.
But on Tuesday night, Daye says the barbed wire was the least of the thieves' worries.
"Watch out. Watch out for my son," Daye said.

Federal officials have released nearly $200 million to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for Hurricane Sandy recovery aid, the agency announced Wednesday.
Most of the $193 million allocated by Federal Transit Administration to the MTA will go toward New York City Transit.
The money would be the first round of funding to help the MTA rebuild after Hurricane Sandy, which caused extensive damage in the five boroughs in October.
"These federal dollars will help cover the costs of pre-storm preparations and initial recovery work that made it possible for the MTA to restore service as quickly as possible after the storm," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. "The FTA's quick action will help rebuild our battered transit infrastructure and restore full service for the millions of commuters who rely on the MTA every day."
New York City Transit will receive a total $141.6 million, which will cover costs associated with pre-storm preparation of the city's subway and bus system as well as go toward repairing and replacing equipment and facilities that were damaged.
The Long Island Rail Road will receive $20.9 million to cover costs of preparing for and cleaning up after Hurricane Sandy, while Metro-North Railroad will get $14.9 million.
A total $17.9 will go toward repairing the A line in the Rockaways.
Additional funding for storm preparation costs, including placing sandbags and covering vents, is also earmarked in the funding.

A reliable source for A's-Giants T-Rights has the news:
Wow - I guess the s#$% is really hitting the fan. San Jose City Council votes to sue MLB for refusing Oakland A's sought-after move— Eric Fisher (@EricFisherSBJ) June 18, 2013
Also, naturally:
A's owner Lew Wolff: "I have no details. However, I'm not in favor of legal action or legal threats to solve business issues."— John Woolfolk (@JohnWoolfolk1) June 18, 2013
MLB: no comment on San Jose suit— Eric Fisher (@EricFisherSBJ) June 18, 2013
Indeed, things are changing in this landscape. We have no idea whether the recent sewage incident precipitated this, or whether this was planned long before. Also, we don't know whether Lew Wolff is truly behind this, or this is San Jose acting on its own.
As an A's blog, we have no official position on where the A's play. Rest assured, however, that we will have coverage on these machinations as they become public. All we ask is that the conversation remains as respectful as possible given the emotions involved in all this.
Dump away!
