By Pat Sherman
A colorfully detailed, astronomical calendar that once reminded monks in a monastery in Verona, Italy of Easter's approach — considered by some to be "arguably the ultimate ancestor to the analogue computer" — is the latest addition to the permanent collection of the Map and Atlas Museum of La Jolla, 7825 Fay Ave., Suite LL-A.
The item can be viewed for free at the museum during regular hours, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays and the first and third Saturdays of the month.
Known as the San Zeno Astrolabe (devices historically used by navigators, astronomers and astrologers to locate positions of the sun, moon and stars, determine local time and cast horoscopes) the object was made of ink on wood and vellum (animal skin) circa 1455.
It was housed in an abbey once attached to the Basilica of San Zeno in Verona Italy for over three centuries — even after the community was decimated by the bubonic plague in the 1600s. The abbey was destroyed in the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) and the calendar seemingly disappeared.
"The first thought was that it had been looted, but it appears as though it was taken by a family and kept, and then went to another family a little later on before it came onto the market in 2010," map museum director Richard Cloward said of the object, believed to be the only one of its kind to have survived the Medieval Period. "Interestingly, the Italian government had never asked for it back."
Cloward said museum founder Michael Stone purchased the astrolabe through a private party in New York City, via Italy, but would not disclose its value.
The astrolabe served as the primary timekeeper for the monks, who saw and used it daily to organize their devotional schedule.
Its three dials could be rotated by hand to chart the phases of the moon, the zodiacal calendar of the stars, the amount of daylight occurring on any given day and the feast days and times of the saints to whom the monks intended to pray. It was placed in such a way that it would have been seen by all of the monks several times each day — as they left the dormitory for midnight liturgy, as they returned to bed and as they returned to church in the morning. It was, in effect, the monk's clock, allowing them to tell the time based on sunrise, sunset and the position of the sun in the sky.
"These little tags say, in Latin, 'good,' 'bad' or 'indifferent,' " Cloward said, pointing to a particular area of the wheel. "Under those signs of the zodiac, it was 'good,' 'bad' or 'indifferent' for bloodletting — it served all sorts of purposes."

1. There's a reason schools teach Shakespeare instead of John Green; you make your own life, it's not written in the stars, waiting to start until you find that person with the perfect smile.
2. People are a hell of a lot smarter than you think. Shut your mouth, stop thinking you know everything, and listen.
3. Getting close and being vulnerable is scary as hell, But you know what else it is? Worth it.
4. Reason really is the doctor to love.
5. The moment you feel your happiness being dictated by another person, take a break from them.
6. Take a step back and look around, you have more friends than you think.
7. Growing up is going to happen and it's going to be tough. Just stay close to those around you, you're all in it together.
8. If you're still checking their Facebook/Instagram/tumblr, you're never going to get over them.
9. Everything seems worse in the morning. Don't fall for it, it's deceiving.
10. No need to be so intense all the time. People get tired of swimming in the deep end, sometimes they need a break in the shallow part of the pool.
11. Stop avoiding everything. Get out of bed, get dressed, go to school, go to work. It sucks at first but it's part of the healing process.
12. If the person makes you feel like shit and you still go back to them, it's an abusive relationship.
13. Headphones are great, but listen to music aloud every once in a while. Sometimes you need to scream a song so everyone can hear you.
14. Boundaries are a must.
15. You can be a caring person, but you need to be happy with yourself before you try to make others happy.
16. Try and understand other's intentions and situation before you get angry with them.
17. Tough love is necessary sometimes.
18. You can't fix people no matter how hard you try. Get this engrained in your mind.
19. Surround yourself with people who will love and support you.
20. Loneliness is lethal and makes you have a distorted view of things.
21. No one hates you more than you hate yourself. Stop being your own enemy.
22. Someone can only hurt your feelings if you allow them to.
23. Getting your shit back in order is five times as hard as it is to mess it all up.
24. Listen to your parent's advice.
25. Be open to anything and everything. Life isn't fun when you're a closed book.
26. Talking about your problems is great, but there comes a point when talking about it becomes dwelling on the past and it drains everyone around you. Know when you've hit this point.
27. A lot of people don't like their shit showing. More people than you know are going through hard times.
28. Distract yourself.
29. Don't be so easily swayed, a lot of claims out there are not true.
30. Some seasons of your life are harder than others. This too shall pass.30 Things I Learned During the 30 Worst Days of my Life: November 2013 - my-moral-foundation (via perfect)

Almost 50 years after domestic US family planning programs began, their effects on childbearing remain controversial. Using the county-level roll-out of these programs from 1964 to 1973, this paper reevaluates their shorter and longer term effects on US fertility rates. I find that the introduction of family planning is associated with significant and persistent reductions in fertility driven both by falling completed childbearing and childbearing delay. Although federally funded family planning accounted for a small portion of the post-baby boom US fertility decline, my estimates imply that they reduced childbearing among poor women by 19 to 30 percent.

Singing Bowl, Decorated, with 4 inch opening. Highly decorated spun bronze. Design may vary. Includes wooden beater and cushion. They sometimes feature religious iconography; motifs and symbols, such as the Tibetan mantra Om mani padme hum, images of Buddhas, or the Ashtamangala (Eight Auspicious Signs). The bowls are made of Panchaloha: literally translated from Sanskrit as Five Metals. The metal alloys contain copper, tin, zinc, iron and other metals
Singing bowls are played by the friction of rubbing a wooden mallet around the rim of the bowl to produce overtones and a continuous 'singing' sound. They are commonly used for meditation, relaxation, healthcare, personal well-being and religious practice.

Nicki Minaj Grammy Performance: Confessions and Controversyby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Did Nicki Minaj take her act too far at last night's Grammy Awards?
Never one to shy away from controversy, the 29-year old rapper kicked off a rendition of "Roman Holiday" by confessing to a fake priest. She then proceeded to put on a show that featured pyrotechnics, backup dancers dressed as monks and a great deal of religious imagery.
Adele, standing alone at a microphone and simply singing, it was not.
Minaj also walked the red carpet, prior to the ceremony, with a guy dressed like The Pope. Fun and different? Or offensive and different? Watch the singer get exorcised on stage now and then decide:
We can expect a statement from the Catholic League to be released at any moment...
That was just ridiculous ! I was embarrased for her I started doing laundry at that point. I love Adele she was perfection and a true class act Adele was simple and beautiful she did not have to put on a circus act to demonstrate her enormous talent!
Pathetic !!!
who the hell could even get past the religious tone when you cant even understand the lyrics or find the beat?
Nicki minaj hmm, it was an interesting performance, it may be more popular for the younger generation but struck a cord with the older generation. But I thought it was just interesting. And STOP COMPARING HER TO ADELE they are TWO totally different artists.
religious aspects aside, that was awful "music" awful performance and they kept advertising it like it was something spectacular. not. it was awful. now I know why I never watch these award shows. what a scam. stupid people allowed this to go on national tv.l
That performance was horrible. Religious crap aside, she sounded like a screeching monkey. I muted it and stopped watching until I could see it was over. It sucked!
Nicki Minaj's performance was a real downer in an otherwise positive evening that had struck a fine balance between the sudden loss of Whitney Houston and celebrating the Grammy nominees and winners. Nonradical Christians, whether Catholic or not, want no more respect and tolerance for their religion than nonradical Jews, Muslims, Hindi, and Buddhists. Most or all religions have skeletons in their closets that they are ashamed of due to abherrent/"demonic" infiltration, but they don't like those sick aspects rubbed in their faces and representing their beliefs. These traditions last because, in their purest forms, they speak to the human heart. Very poor taste, Nicki, and very poor judgment on the part of the Grammy producers.
All she proved last night at the Grammys is that she is an uneducated, ill-mannered, insensitive, ignorant twit. Your opinions of organized religion are your own, just as are your opinions of race and sex. This was a public insult to a religion that resides in the hearts of over 1 billion people in the world. Her performance insulted that many people, and because of their beliefs; beliefs that she so utterly smeared; they are not retaliating!
The occasional joke is harmless, but dressing dancers up as monks and having them gyrate in the most inappropriate manner, while parading some old man around in an alb and calling him a priest, and including young children in this catastrophe to dress as acolytes; then displaying this on national television and categorizing it as entertainment!...the whole thing was like taking a dump on a religion with 2000 years of history in society. She obviously did not do a performance like this to get a positive reaction. She wanted controversy, but that was a cheap way to create it.
Those who DON'T see the repulse in Nicki Manaj's performance are completely ignorant. It's not a matter of your own personal beliefs at all. Look at it this way: If this had been made to mock the Islam religion, we would probably be bombed by al Qaeda by now for showing it on national TV. Her performance made me cringe. Saying she went to far is an understatement. It was blasphemous. You're telling me that we're in a society centered around political correctness and none of you PC people found this incorrect. Whether you're religious or not (especially if you're not), it's not you're place to mock it in such an outrageously distasteful manner.

Authorities responded to a fatal crash on I-90 Frontage Road near Bozeman Wednesday afternoon.
Montana Highway Patrol reports the call came in at 1:30 pm.
A Dodge truck and Subaru crashed at the intersection of the Frontage Road and the East Valley Center Road spur that crosses under I-90, in between Bozeman and Belgrade.
Trooper Brad Moore said the female driver of the Subaru, identified by the Gallatin County coroner as 30-year old Kari Friedman, attempted to make a left hand turn onto the Frontage Road going west toward Belgrade.
The male driver of the Dodge truck was heading eastbound toward Bozeman when the two vehicles collided.
Trooper Moore said Friedman died at the scene. The man was taken to Bozeman Deaconess Hospital, where his condition is unkown.
Moore explained this intersection is dangerous, and they've had other fatal wrecks in the same spot before.
"This is an intersection that you have to be careful of, there's no doubt," Trooper Moore said. "There's a lot of people traveling these roadways. Frontage Road gets a lot of traffic... so when you enter this intersection, you have to be extremely careful."
MHP is leading the investigation on this crash. Trooper Moore said at this time it is unclear whether speed or alcohol were factors.
We will post updates as more information becomes available.

Camarillo Christmas in the sun
Annual parade accompanied by carnival
Garret Nunes, 9, sat in the middle of Las Posas Road in Camarillo, clutching a Santa hat and waiting with his younger brother Louden for the Christmas parade to reach them.
"I can see motorcycles," he yelled over to his mother, Jennifer. "I've got the best seat in the house."
The Nunes boys were waiting to see their cousin march by as part of the Pleasant Valley School District band.
"This is the only time of year my boys are able to get away with playing in the middle of the street," Jennifer Nunes said. "And it's only because they've got the road shut down!"
The parade kicked off at noon and ended with a carnival at the Camarillo Community Center.
This is the first year the city has held a carnival the weekend of the parade, said Pleasant Valley Parks and Recreation District employee Jeri Letus.
"We really wanted to extend the festivities for the community," she said.
The theme for this year's parade was "A Christmas of Olympic Proportions." Boxer Fernando Vargas, who competed in the 1996 Olympics, served as Grand Marshal.
The parade is popular among Camarillo residents, many of whom said it is an event they look forward to every year.
"It's the best day of the year at my house," said Dale Hewlett, whose home is on Las Posas Road. "Some of my friends are in their 40s and single, so it's like a big Christmas party for them."
Hewlett saves space in front of his house every year for friends who come to watch the parade. One friend, Dale Hollers, said the parade puts him in the Christmas spirit every year.
"If it weren't for the parade and the view from Dale's house, I'd be saying bah humbug' all month," he said. "This sets my mood."
Chris Kildee, whose brother Kevin serves on the City Council, brought her dog Bear to the parade. She said the dog loves the parade.
"Last year he recognized Kevin riding past in a car and barked at him," she said, as a float carrying Cub Scout Pack 3858 rolled past with the boys bellowing "Merry Christmas."
Quite possibly the oldest person viewing the parade was 103-year-old Edward George who lives in Camarillo with his son, Chuck George.
In addition to floats, the parade featured horses, vintage cars and performances by the Rio Mesa and Santa Paula high school marching bands.
The Ventura County Fire Department showed off several engines in the parade, and volunteers walking alongside the fire trucks collected donations in boots for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
The Christmas carnival at the Camarillo Community Center runs through today. Featuring music, rides, food booths and other vendors, the carnival will be open from noon to 6 p.m.

TV Fact-Checker(s): Pop Up Video Bursts Back Into Action
- Monday October 3, 2011
When Pop Up Video debuted on VH1 in 1996, the show was brain candy for music nerds. Those little bubbles of rock 'n' roll factoids layered over music videos worked just like crack. Now Pop Up Video is back. Executive producer Woody Thompson and head researcher Alex Ebel discuss how they use tireless research to make all those music factoids, well, pop.

Just because you can use a clever play on words, doesn't mean you should. But if you do, make sure it's not just clever but also clear.
Most "clever" headlines are written not to provide clarity but to celebrate the copywriter's wit. That's why they fail.
Here's an example I found in a magazine a number of years ago. It was shortly before Christmas and the advertisement was for a cordless phone.
"Give the gift that's a perfect conversation piece."
You can see how the copywriter was trying to be clever. You talk with people over the phone; ergo, a phone is a conversation piece.
Of course, this line is nonsense. When was the last time you had a conversation about a cordless phone? A phone is not a conversation piece. The cleverness of the copywriter does nothing to clarify his or her message.
To find a headline in which cleverness actually adds to the clarity of the message is extremely difficult. Such lines are rare indeed.
So I was delighted to find an excellent example, just a little while ago.
I was conducting a full-day seminar on copywriting online and presented the participants with a short exercise. I held up the small, wireless remote I use for advancing my presentation slides. It's a neat little gizmo that allows me to move around a room and advance my presentation, slide by slide, without having to go anywhere near my laptop.
Here is what I asked people to do. "Write me a headline, in 12 words or less, that sells the benefits of this gizmo to speakers."
I gave everyone about five minutes and warned against trying to be too clever. "You're better off concentrating on finding the right thing to say," I advised. "Don't spend your time trying to be clever."
Fortunately, Johnny Cho of the Milken Family Foundation decided to ignore my advice and came up with the following line:
"Advance your slides without retreating to the projector."
Yes, it's clever. There's a play on words in the juxtaposition of "advance" and "retreat."
But what is different and impressive about this line is that the play on words adds value to the message.
It's valuable because the word "retreat" isn't simply the opposite of the word "advance."
The word actually captures the state of mind of the speaker or presenter. If you like to move around when you speak, you often feel a loss of flow and momentum when you have to walk back to your laptop to press a key. You really do "retreat." There is a sense of moving backwards and then having to regain the flow of your talk, until the next slide, and so on.
What Johnny Cho did so well was make his play on words actually add depth and feeling to the headline. He wrote a memorable line that also helps him connect with his audience on a meaningful level.
So, that's how you should write a clever headline, if that's your goal.
A play on words isn't enough. That play also has to add another, valuable level of meaning to the message.

Score from 158 reviews Fabulous
Very good location in the middle of Seaton, very close to the beach, excellent staff!
Breakfast till 9am only
Clean Home-cooked breakfasts (I recommend the mushroom omelet) Friendly staff I couldn't hear the bar from my room
The bed was too hard The seagulls were very noisy early in the morning Breakfast only served between 8am to 9am - I would have liked a longer window
Food was outstanding. Staff were excellent and helpful.
Hard Bed
We booked a family room for two adults and a child and were actually given two adjoining rooms each with their own television. Our six year old daughter was very impressed! Great value. The food was extremely good - I would return for the breakfast omelette alone!
the staff were all very kind and helpfull
the seagulls made a lot of noise all night
very nice and friendly people
shower cubical needs to be updated
Food location....relaxing
Slow service at times..
all of it
Live music, careing and attentive staff, good choice of 'normal' food and fantastic breakfast
Room was a little dated but still very acceptable, the TV was amongst the smallest I have ever seen!
The location was great Clean and functional room Nice breakfast Friendly service
Only one thing - they had live music all day which was so loud! I wish hotels/b&b's would advise people of this sort of thing when booking. Had our daughter been with us we would have probably had to leave as she would struggle to sleep through it. Thankfully she wasn't with us so it was alright.
Excellent location, friendly staff, very accommodating with breakfast requests. Lovely big room with good views. Parking and dining on site, with beer garden and terrace
Room, furnishings and curtains very dated and in need of redecoration and replacement. Furniture shabby, scruffy needed re-waxing or repainting. Shower very small for such a large room and not very well cleaned. Noisy patrons leaving at end of quiz and chatting very loudly below room window. Windows only single glazed and very dilapidated. car park scruffy and old rubbish piled at rear.
Pub quiz. Good breakfast. Double bed could have been bigger.
Very noisy seagulls starting at 4 am!
They catered for my gluten free diet.
Friendly helpful staff. Comfortable clean room. Good food.
There was not much to not like.
Staff were friendly , the bar served good real ale and prices were fair. The breakfast was good and it was a good location near the seafront.
The room was very hot and the hotel was in need of a good refurb. The outside was beginning to look a bit tired although Seaton was generally a bit run down and needed some investment.
Good location to centre of town and beach Friendly hosts Good food car parking easy
Tired accomodation
Nice hotel with a good pub run by friendly staff. Seaton is not the greatest beach town but it was a pleasure to be there.
The bed was a bit tired, but most importantly: the dinner was quite apalling. The scalops were raw and the plaice was overcooked, and that was accompanied by giant size dry fries. By all means have an English breakfast there but skip the dining.
Very quaint, great staff.
Lack of blackout curtains/blinds
The friendliness of the staff. The room was a comfortable size and view. The breakfast and dinner were excellent.
The shower had mould and needed a thorough clean as did the bathroom in general. The needed a new mattress as you could feel the springs.
Location is perfect. We stayed in Seaton then spent the day in Weymouth.
Plenty of things to find if your looking to complain. For location and comfort you cant go wrong. Brand new shower in our room and im sure given time it will get better.
We liked all the people we met
No chair to sit on in the room
Friendly/Helpful staff
Television not working (did not seem to be an aerial Poor fittings (bare wires showing of main room light Mirror too high in bathroom Very very squeaky floors and thin walls
Staff, food, room
Finding car park is difficult due to one-way system
location was great. Staff were excellent.
not much sound insulation between rooms, and all floors very creaky. Expensive.
Location central, friendly reception, large bathroom
Noise from pub below

Annalisa Drew was named to the U.S. Olympic Ski team last week, the culmination of thousands of hours of jumps, spins and "getting air."
But, unlike a lot of her skiing brethren heading to Sochi for the 2014 Winter Olympics next week, there never was a life-long dream to be an Olympic skier. She's not complaining.
Drew says she always skied, most of the time at Loon Mountain in Lincoln, N.H., for selfish reasons.
She loved being around her family, particularly several cousins.
"To this day, I love competing and trying new moves," said Drew, an Andover native, from her Vail, Colo., apartment. "But the thing I loved most was the weekends with my family and cousins. I had more fun than you could imagine. It's the reason I skied so much, practically every weekend. I loved being around my family."
Her family next month is the U.S. Ski Team and their mountain of choice will be at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park, about 30 miles from the city of Sochi.
Drew competes in the freestyle half-pipe, which is about "getting air" and acrobatics, things she learned with her cousins, several of which were, like her, from Andover.
Drew, 20, was added to the team after a vote by the committee, which noted her consistency the last few months of the season in five different competitions.
"I was speechless when I got the call from Coach (Ben) Verge," recalled Drew. "I couldn't really talk. He just said, 'You got a spot on the Olympic team.' I think he said, 'Wait, you want to hear it again. You're going to the Olympics.'"
While Drew finished in the top five in nearly every competition, she made a name for herself at the 2013 X Games in Aspen, Colo. and Tignes.

Good thing the March of Dimes worked. How, why?
Alternately, for those with a tool shed, ideas, or creative loved ones to tell..
First revolver I bought was a 4" Ruger Service Six back in 1974, since then I have added about 15 more to include a Mini-14 (only cost $189.99 back then) several Blackhawks, a Super Redhawk and an SR-1911.
When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.
"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."
I was just telling my brother-in-law this evening on the phone that Ruger is a great company with great service and great products. I've got an old Police Service Six .357, SP101 .357, and P95 9mm. Great guns, built like tanks. The new offerings from Ruger over the last 8 years or so reflect a company that is designing products around current demand. The LCP, LC9, and LCR are outstanding niche pieces that are much more innovative than their line-up of years gone by. They are now changing with the times in a much needed and appreciated manner.
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
Guns are like sex and air...its no big deal until YOU can't get any.
I'd love to see Ruger make:
a LCR in 9mm (using moon clips) and a shorter cylinder (for an even more compact size) - 9mm ammo is cheaper than .38 Spl
an affordable pump and semi auto shotgun (big holes in their current product line)
an affordable double-barrel coach gun with ejectors and a drop-safe safety
I'd also love to see versions of the LC9 and SR9 that delete the thumb safeties and magazine disconnects.
Go Ruger - Go!
The more good folks carry guns, the fewer shots the crazies can get off.

I have always been a fan of Ruger Firearms. The only revolver I own right now is a Ruger LCR and I love it.
Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!
Both the handguns I bought for off duty, are Rugers. A P345 & SP 101.
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt
I LOVE RUGERS. cost effective and nice finish. Great bang for the buck. I bought 3 alone this year.
Want more!!
Good for them....

I have been frequenting this market since I was a kid so I really love it!
It has any type of shoe or army/navy stuff you could ever want. The location is in central Athens near the Acropolis so highly trafficked with tourists. Tons of touristy shops and everyone speaks English. It is open till about 9pm in the summer after that time I would avoid cutting through there to get back to your hotel as the seedier elements of the city will be roaming.Recommended for:Budget TravelersHistory BuffsLocal CultureOutdoor Enthusiasts

A paved street with a variety of shops, some of theem with quite alternative products. Usually, It's packed with people but it could be considered as a nice experience if you want to feel like a real tourist in Greece or if you just want to buy something.

You can definitely lose a good 3-4 hours here if you are a shopper. Just be wary of the folks that are walking through and selling items. They can be a little irritating and follow you around. We didn't buy much as we didn't have any more room in our suitcases but you can find some awesome buys here, especially if you like to haggle.

- Monastiraki Flea MarketFlavia S. M. BakerFirst to Review
This is a great place where to spend a few hours, as it is a day market and quite large. It is a flea market but also a place where you can find great leather goods and leather sandals hand made. The prices vary and you can actually find very good deals. Prices can be negotiated and you can find any different item, from collection articles to antiques to brand new fashion objects. There are also a few places where you can grab a fast lunch and a great Greek coffee to drink very slowly as the locals do.

Hockey-related stuff but not worth another thread. Desperate for hockey, my wife and I went to an Orlando Solar Bears game for the ECHL. Gotta say, while it wasn't nearly the same, it was still a fun time and nice to see live hockey again. Plus they won 5-3 with leading scorer (and leading the ECHL right now) Nick Petersen getting a hat trick.
The crowd was about 5,339 people in the Amway Arena (which is a really nice arena and could totally house an NHL team) and they were having a great time and were pretty knowledgeable. Fans sing-song chanted the opposing goalie, knew when to boo a bad call, etc. Also saw just about every team's jersey you could imagine heh.
I think we'll be going to a few more games especially if the lockout persists. The Solar Bears used to dominate the IHL and were their last champions so they'll be raising a banner for that this year, maybe sooner than we see a Division Champ banner raised for the Panthers
They're the affiliate for the Minnesota Wild and we might take in a game against our ECHL team, Cincinnati.

STEVE INSKEEP, host:
This Friday before Thanksgiving might not feel special, but it's an important date for the Bush administration. There is a law mandating a 60-day waiting period before any big new federal regulations take effect. And there are now 60 days remaining until January 20th, when President-elect Barack Obama takes over. So, the Bush administration is in a regulatory rush to get new rules on the books that are seen as pro-business. NPR's Peter Overby reports.
PETER OVERBY: This is sometimes called midnight rule-making, even though that 60-day waiting period or even 30 days for minor rules makes for a pretty long midnight. The Bush administration set a timetable last May to make sure the speed-up happened, but it's hardly been mentioned at White House press briefings. Earlier this month, spokeswoman Dana Perino brushed aside a single query.
(Soundbite of press briefing)
Ms. DANA PERINO (White House Press Secretary, George W. Bush Administration): What I will tell you is that policies that this president has made have been carefully considered. All of the due diligence has been done on a range of these issues.
OVERBY: Regulations now emerging from the pipeline affect all sorts of hot-button issues. Matt Madia makes his living tracking the federal regulatory process. He works for OMB Watch, a nonprofit group that monitors the White House Office of Management and Budget, where all regulations get a final review.
Mr. MATT MADIA (Regulatory Policy Analyst, OMB Watch): It's unfortunate that so many of the rules will damage the environment or roll back existing requirements on pollution.
OVERBY: Madia says that regardless of the issue, all of the decisions are decidedly conservative and pro-business.
Mr. MADIA: These are the kinds of things we're seeing, and they're not in the public's interest.
OVERBY: Take the Labor Department's new regulations on the Family and Medical Leave Act. The law was passed during the Clinton administration, with corporations fighting to stop it. It lets workers take unpaid leave to tend to medical and family needs. Two years ago, the Labor Department started the current rule-making. Last year, it started writing draft regulations. Then last month, Labor abruptly approved a final version; 15 days later, OMB gave the final OK. Everybody likes one part of the regs; it gives extra family and medical leave to families of service members recovering from injury or illness. But another provision says companies can impose rules that keep employees from using paid vacation instead of the unpaid leave. The National Association of Manufacturers wanted this. Keith Smith is the association's director of employment and labor policy.
Mr. KEITH SMITH (Director, Employment and Labor Policy, National Association of Manufacturers): This wasn't something that was rushed through by any means. Even though that these regulations were long overdue, they took the time to make sure that they were done right. They look at the feedback, the comments provided by thousands of commenters.
OVERBY: Among those opposing the new regulation was the National Partnership for Women and Families.
Ms. JOCELYN FRYE (General Counsel, National Partnership for Women and Families): In difficult economic times in particular, it's very tough to take leave that's unpaid.
OVERBY: General counsel Jocelyn Frye says there is no reason, legal or otherwise, for the change.
Ms. FRYE: It was always our view that these regulations were largely unnecessary.
OVERBY: Similar quarrels are breaking out over other regulations. But President Bush is far from the first president to wield last-minute power this way. John Adams set the precedent in 1801, by appointing what were called the midnight judges. Eight years ago, President Clinton approved dozens of new regulations in his final days, but the 60-day waiting period hadn't run, and President Bush was able to put them all on hold. Republicans in Congress mocked Clinton's last-minute burst of action. Here's then Senator Don Nickles speaking off the Senate floor.
Mr. DON NICKLES (Former Senator, Republican, Oklahoma): Couldn't get whatever they wanted to do through Congress, and so all of the sudden they started issuing regs, particularly in the last couple of weeks of the Clinton administration, in some cases to give things to their supporters.
OVERBY: Now, President Bush has tried to avoid Clinton's misstep by getting his midnight regulations into effect now. That way, the 60-day waiting period can run out before he leaves office. Congressional Democrats, including former First Lady Hillary Clinton, are already introducing bills designed to outmaneuver him. Peter Overby, NPR News, Washington.

I have been having trouble with nocturne, I like his jungling as he is an exceptional jungler and ganker but in team fights he just ends up being horrible for me. I started my last game with him 4-1-6 and finished the game 5-13-16 after the laning phase ended. I just don't seem to understand him in team fights because he just gets owned before he can do anything.
My build looks like this
boots potsx3 > wriggles > merc treads > brutalizer > phage > bloodthirster > radulins omen > frozen mallet (upgrade) > yoshimitsu's ghostblade (upgrade)
unlike most junglers i think youre meant to initiate after the rest of the team goes in. the perfect initiation in theory would be just as your team is engaging that way they wont be able to position themselves properly, and go straight for high damage carries. you shouldnt be the first person attacking someone unless youre in a confident position, but you also shouldnt be the last one in either
with this said, im horrible at nocturne but i believe this is how the pros use or atleast try to use him
Build less damage and more tanky. Frozen Mallet is fine, but you don't need a bloodthirster or brutalizer/ghostblade.
Nocturne already has a lot of AD and AS in his kit. He's a threat without building a lot of damage. Building tanky means you can do more than ult at a squishy and get killed in a heartbeat.

West Milford candidates square off on township's future, library, police
WEST MILFORD — Four political newcomers are facing off in November to fill the seats of two departing Township Council members.
Democrats Dave Ofshinsky and John Richards and Republicans Michael Hensley and Vivienne Erk are battling for the seats at a time when taxpayers are struggling and the township has revived a campaign for more watershed aid. They seek to succeed Republicans Joseph Smolinski and Michael Ramaglia, who decided not to run for reelection.
Click here for full candidate bios.
Among the issues at stake are the futures of an ailing commercial base, a new library proposal and an understaffed police department.
The opposing tickets agreed on the pursuit of more watershed funding, but presented different visions of West Milford. The Republicans, billing themselves as "fiscal conservatives," focused on careful scrutiny of all future expenditures. Their Democratic challengers talked of revitalizing the Highlands community by making it an "ecotourism" destination.
* The township's future: All the candidates agreed that their first priority would be stabilizing property taxes for the township's 26,000 residents and business community, pledging to work on different facets of a campaign for watershed aid. The township recently hired a lobbyist to pursue the issue in Trenton.
The Democratic candidates have also emphasized their platform of selling the township's natural beauty, which they said could be done by working with the economic development committee, schools and community organizations.
"I firmly believe that, properly marketed, this town could become an ecotourism center for Bergen County, Passaic County," said Richards, a director of operations for a manufacturing company. "I would like to see that enhanced, really developed."
The GOP's Hensley, a substitute teacher in the local school district, agreed with his opponents' idea, saying "We don't want to just survive — we want to thrive." In a discussion about advertising New Jersey with the governor's staff, Hensley said, he urged that West Milford be included in that effort. Erk, a paralegal for 20 years, said she would like to see more recreational opportunities as well, but noted she would dedicate her efforts to reducing taxes. She said she wants to pursue transitional funding from the state, a form of aid no watershed communities currently receive.
* A new library: The candidates seemed most sharply divided over a proposal to build a new library, which Mayor Bettina Bieri has advocated and says will come at no additional cost to taxpayers. Even if the township had to bond for money to fund the project, it would be repaid by funds from the library's — and not municipal — coffers, said Doug Ott, library board president.
Hensley said he would approach the issue with a "fair and open" mind, but would want to be positive that taxpayers would not foot any costs. He accused his opponents of being too eager to approve the proposal — "Even if they think it's going to cost X, Y and Z, chances are it's going to cost even more than that," Hensley said. "The Democratic candidates are just eager to rubber-stamp a new library into existence, and that's what worries me."
The Democrats' Ofshinsky, a director of finance for a non-profit, said criticism of the proposal reflects a "partisan paralysis" on the council and he's heard no valid argument why it should not go forward. Running mate Richards, a director of operations at a manufacturer, discussed a new library as part of a wider goal to bring more people into the township and provide current residents a venue for a range of activities — "A well-done library can be a cultural center in town," Richards said. "The library can be so much more than books."
* Police staffing: The candidates also were divided over their approaches to funding the Police Department. In June, the council prioritized taxpayer savings over filling two officer positions, lowering the ranks to 42 officers. The Republicans agreed with those cuts, saying they would have voted the same way.
"In talking to the people a lot, they don't like hearing when people say, 'Oh, it's only another $10, oh it's another $50 — it all adds up to more dollars than they have," said Erk, who added she would support more police if they could be hired without increasing taxes.
Ofshinsky said the projected cost for the two officers, about $13 for a typical taxpayer, was "not a lot," and he would have leaned toward maintaining the staff levels. But he said he wants to explore other options for policing, possibly getting assistance from the county or state police to patrol watershed property.
The candidates each said they would pay close attention to new Police Chief Timothy Storbeck when determining future staffing decisions for next year's budget.

Fortunately, Giants WR not injured on play Brad Biggs
Atlanta Falcons safety Chris Hope didn't get off easy for a big hit he put on Victor Cruz.
The NFL has fined Hope $30,000 for an illegal shot he made on the New York Giants wide receiver last Sunday during the third quarter of the Falcons' blowout victory. Hope was called for an unnecessary roughness penalty on the play as it was deemed he struck Cruz in the head/neck area, according to Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger.
For his part, Cruz absolved Hope of any wrongdoing.
"He doesn't strike me personally as a dirty player, so I wouldn't say that," he said following the game, according to the report.
Fortunately, Cruz was not injured on the play. In the past several years, some have believed the Falcons were soft on defense. While an illegal hit doesn't mean they've toughened up by any means, the impressive 34-0 shutout of the Giants did send a message to the rest of the NFC that Atlanta could be a different team when the postseason comes around next month.

You should see a real estate lawyer as soon as possible. Depending on the structure of your agreement, you might have an equitable interest in the property - meaning that the landlord would have to foreclose on the property rather than just evict you as if it were a regular landlord/tenant relationship. This will give you more legal protections and much more time.
Further, no matter how the relationship is interpreted (lease or mortgage), you still have a right to cure the default, by bringing all of your payments current.
If you cannot afford a lawyer, seek help from your local legal services organization -- they will often assist with landlord/tenant matters.
Good Luck.

Unfortunately, you have 10 days to appeal an award of possession from the date of the decision. The decision may not have been dated on the date of the hearing. Today is November 5. If the decision was made (read the notice) on the 24th or later, you can appeal today. But it must be today or you lose the right to possession. Go to the County Prothonotary's Office. Take your check book, since you will have to pay money into escrow for rent and may have to pay court costs to file a notice of appeal. Also, take the notice of the decision.
If you qualify under the guidelines established for the poverty level, you won't have to pay the full amount of the escrow and the filing costs. But it will take you some time, so go immediately.
I recommend you consult a lawyer with a background in real estate and preferably some landlord tenant experience.

NEW YORK — The Foundation for New Jersey-based Merck Pharmaceuticals is joining Intel and UPS in cutting funding for the Boy Scouts of America over a controversial anti-gay policy.
In July, the Scouts reaffirmed its ban on openly gay and lesbian Americans participating in the Scouts or acting as Scout leaders or den mothers. The outcry after the announcement prompted strong criticism from across the political spectrum, including from then-Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

text: I am setting up a 120 gal reef tank and using the live rock and sand from my old 65 gal tank. I had a 2" sand bed. I received an email from the manufacturer of the Sealife Systems RM300 Refugium/sump. The refugium is a good size at 15"Lx12"Dx12"H. He recommended that I build a DSB (Deep Sand Bed) 6" high with live rock in the refugium. OK:-/ So what's the best way to do this? The live sand in my tank has some telltale algae growing underneath. A fellow reefer said I should give the sand a quick rinse with saltwater. I can do that. My thinking here is using more of that sand in the refugium maybe the bottom 4" and then adding fresh live sand to the top 2". Then mixing fresh live sand with what's leftover in the main tank and only having a 1/2" - 1" substrate. I could also minimize on the live sand from my old tank as I will be selling it later as a reef and maybe spare my new tank many impurities. The question is: How much sand do I need to keep the new tank from cycling with my stock in it? Anyone have any ideas for me?:-/
