Class of 2012 Important Senior Dates…
Dear Senior Parents and Seniors,
It is hard to believe that it was 13 years ago our seniors started their public education with the first day of kindergarten. Now as Graduation Day rapidly approaches, a major phase in your lives (both students and parents) is about to come to an end. This is an exciting and busy time for all of us.

A "Class" Event – Every year the staff and students of Camas High School work extremely hard to make commencement a special event. CHS has the reputation for a formal graduation ceremony that is a "class" event. Please help us continue this fine tradition through proper attire and behavior during the ceremony.
|Grad Night Party – Again this year, parents are planning an all-night drug and alcohol free party for seniors. The graduates will be able to change their clothes at the stadium and then board buses for this tremendous event. The cost is $65 until May 31st and then $70. Please register as early as possible. For more information you may contact Keesha Goodnow at email@example.com (360) 606-9760 or follow the link on the CHS website for the registration form.
|Awards & Scholarships – If any senior has received an award or scholarship, please contact Maria Klein at Camas High School ext. 78371 so the student can be rightfully recognized.
|FINES - Please make sure all unpaid fines have been cleared up before Graduation Day. If you owe money for items such as lost texts, athletic equipment, library books, etc., transcripts and diploma will be withheld until the fines have been paid. Also, graduation tickets will not be distributed until all fines are paid.
As Graduation Day approaches, we encourage our seniors to remain focused on school and the ultimate goal of graduation. Graduation Day is a celebration of all the hard work and dedication you have put into your education over the last 13 years. We look forward to sharing in this wonderful event with you on June 15th. If you have any questions regarding graduation, please contact our office at 833-5750.

Ad industry smiles as revenues rise 14 pc
Nithya Subramanian
New Delhi , Dec. 18
IT has been a sparkling year for the advertising industry. Overall ad revenues during 2005 grew by 14.1 per cent to Rs 13,200 crore up from last year's Rs 11,600 crore.
According to the advertising tracking agency, AdEx India, for a second consecutive year, the print media grew at a higher rate of 16.1 per cent compared to television's growth rate of 11.4 per cent. In terms of shares, television share fell from 42 per cent to about 41 per cent, while print grew from 47.1 per cent to 47.9 per cent. Other media vehicles such as outdoor advertising garnered a share of 6.8 per cent, radio had 2.4 per cent, cinema 1.1 per cent and the Internet had a 0.8 per cent share of the advertising pie.
"These numbers indicate that the growth in the print media is not merely a flash in the pan. While last year's growth in this segment was attributed to election-related advertising, this year, the growth has come due to advertisers shifting from classifieds to space. Educational institutions, real estate and retail continued to be the major drivers," said AdEx India officials.
With respect to television, the official said that general entertainment channels have managed to retain their revenues due to the good performance of StarOne and SaharaOne, and their overall share has shrunk marginally. In fact, the Hindi film, regional language and news channels have witnessed growth. "There has been a general shift towards Hindi movie channels with advertising rates going up. There has also been an upward correction in the ad rates of regional channels," he added.
This year also saw Internet and radio advertising picking up, with the former crossing the Rs 100-crore mark. Not just the private radio channels, but even Prasar Bharati-owned All India Radio (AIR) have been witnessing an increase in advertising revenues. However, spends in outdoor advertising and cinema have declined marginally.

A toppled lamp is blamed for a fire that damaged a Shreveport home Monday night, but the adult and child in the house escaped unharmed. Firefighters were called to the home in the 2500 block of Lindholm St. just after 6 p.m. and found smoke and flames coming from the one-store wood-frame house. They were able to get the fire under control within 20 minutes. Shreveport Chief of Special Operations and Safety Scott Wolverton says the home was occupied by one adult and a six year old child. The adult reported that the child notified her that the bedroom was on fire. She went to the room and the bed was engulfed with flames and the home was filling up with smoke. Both of them escaped the home at that time. The child later told the investigator that she turned over a lamp with no shade on to the bed and the bulb ignited it. The investigator was able to confirm this and the fire has been ruled accidental. There were no injuries and the fire damaged was contained to the bedroom and the attic space above.

Now that Kentucky has won a national championship under Calipari, there is going to be craploads of people talking about "What this means for college basketball." Some will argue that Calipari had a sick recruiting class won on the back of a freshman national player of the year, but most will argue that Kentucky's questionable recruiting practices dis-interest in graduation rates are corroding the soul of college basketball, and all college athletics.
In my epinion, the NCAA has long traded the lives of these players in pursuit of more advertising dollars and final four ticket sales. Harvard and the Ivy League teams who decided almost a century ago that college sports should be about academics first and athletics paved the trail for what a real student-athlete focused university should loo like. The remainder of college teams have gone in the other direction and now have trouble fusing the words student and athlete while keeping a straight face.
Calipari has become a punching bag for those that hate what the NCAA has become, but in honesty, Calipari is probably the most vocal critic. He is upset that the NCAA takes money from the players and spent most of his bully pulpit leading up to the tournament talking with reporters about how the NCAA and the NBA should do right by young players. According to the Deadspin article he doesn't even use the word Student athlete because he knows that it is an oxymoron. I'm sure people can and will hate on him, especially some of those talking heads on the 4 letter network, but I think he might be the only one who has this whole thing figure out.

How to Select the Best Meditation Cushion
When teaching meditation instruction I am often asked what is the best meditation cushion for me?
The answer on how to selection the best support for your spiritual practice depends largely on the way you tend to sit on a chair. If you often place your body on the middle, the flat portion of the chair, select a full sized, round meditation cushion. If the zafu is full, you'll want to force some of the stuffing down to make a small depression where the center of the spine rests on the top surface.
However, if you like to sit forward on the chair like a bird perched ready to take flight, then choose a half moon cushion, which is crescent shaped. The notched area allows you to rest your butt forward while tucking the legs in closer to your body. The legs closer creates more stability.
Finally, if your body is large, curvy and full sized, then go with an meditation cushion extra large size for added roominess. This selection is wider, taller and deeper giving you lots of space to stretch out.
The next question related to this discussion is the zabuton meditation mat.
Do you need one? Most definitely yes, unless suffering with sore knees and ankles is part of your spiritual practice, it is wise to have a zabuton mat to accompany your meditation cushion. Suffering might be encouraged in the US Marines, but a painful body does not burn off any bad karma in meditation. The purpose of the zabuton is to provide a surface beneath the zafu meditation cushion much like a placement under a dinner plate. The zabuton mat also offers a place to rest your prayer beads, place a book or other important spiritual objects.
Please click on any link in this article to review plenty pictures, make color selections and find the best choice for yourself, or as a gift. Or, follow this link.
Feel free to e-mail questions to the friendly staff regarding the best selections from the linked website at FourGates.com.

Great win for the Ravens as they did not play down to their counterparts. Fortunately, that has not been the case at home this season, only on the road. This was great win for many reasons: 1) Everybody else keeps winning i.e. P-burgh, New England and Houston, etc. 2) it was against Indy. Been since 2001 since we beat them last so it was about time we shook that monkey off our back and rightfully so.
It appeared that early on all facets of the Ravens were firing on all cylinders and again, rightfully so, since we were entertaining an 0 – 12 team. Full disclosure: I say "it appeared" as I was in airports traveling most of Sunday and only really got to see the last third of the game so the GBU is delayed and short this week –just like most government projects.
The Good
Most everything. Rice broke a hundred yards, Joe played a smart game, good game plan by Cam, Torrey had a TD reception –what's not to like? And the defense, for the first 59:52, played great. Good pressure, Pollard's pick, defense didn't really give Indy anything except for the last minute or two. Oh, and Pitta. He could catch a fly with chopsticks in a tornado. Liked how he "stole" the late TD from Torrey.
The Bad
The soft defense on Indy's last drive. Yeah, it was garbage time and it really did not affect the outcome, but have some pride- keep an O'fer team out of the end zone at home; please! I just did not like the softness and lack of urgency in the waning minutes. I know it was our scrubs in, but it was still somewhat disheartening. Keep the foot on the throat even after they cry uncle…
The Ugly
Two things. One, how can we have so many strip-sacks and yet have so few fumble recoveries? That is not bad luck, that is ugly luck. And 2) Playing Indy. It still hurts to see the horseshoe in Baltimore, but not for the Baltimore Colts. The horseshoe used to be a great moniker for Baltimore fans; not anymore and not for some time. At least Bud Adams had the decency to relinquish/"retire" the Oiler logo for the sake of Houston. Can't say the same about Bidwell and certainly can't say it about the Irsays. Isn't it time Indy came up with their own theme/name/logo/mascot that they can truly lay claim to?
Wow, 10 – 3, still in first place, still controlling our own destiny -makes me feel like a kid right before Christmas. The anticipation is killing me. On to sunny San Diego. Don't let their record fool you. The last two games they have really clicked, especially on offense. We seem to be catching them just as they have started to put a little streak together. In the past, we have matched up well against them and taken care of business. Let us hope this is the trend that continues.

Confused about where things get posted
So I've finally launched my BuddyPress site and now that it's a living thing that people are using I've noticed something that seems confusing and clunky to me… it's the "reply" button in activity streams. If you see a forum post in the stream and then click "reply"… your reply only goes into the stream… not into the forum thread?! This seems very unintuitive! If the original poster started his discussion as a forum post… when you reply… the reply should go into the thread. He may miss it if it only goes into the stream. And others reading the forum thread will absolutely miss it. I've resorted to posting my replies in BOTH places. I really don't understand the rational behind this design discussion. Seems wrong to me. My apologies if this is something that has come up before.

Financing A Film – Is Product Placement An Option?
Financing A Film with Product placement was the topic for the 4th part of the interview:
Me: Going back to financing then, the world is changing and there's lot of different things going on in financing now, I watched "The Greatest Movie Ever Sold", recently which was one of my inspirations to do this. What do you think about product placement to help financing a film?
(This is part one of the interview with Tom Malloy about film finance – See part 1, 2, 3, 5)
Tom: The problem I think with product placement is I think there's… I have a guy that I worked with now that 2 films, and I think that there's definitely a place for it, the problem is a lot of young filmmakers think , well, I'm going to get Apple or Red Bull to finance my film but it's probably not going to happen.
Because, now again, think of it from the business and marketing side, say I own the biggest water bottle company in America, and you approach me Tim and say "I want to put your water bottle in my film, you know can you give me $50,000?"
Whatever, it's like,
Number 1, how do I know anyone will ever see the film, and
Number 2, how do I know your film is not going to be a piece of crap?
So, those are things that independent filmmakers don't realize that even if your film is great, and it not be seen by anybody and for me as a seller of water bottles, how does that help my product?
It doesn't help my product at all. And so, that's that, there's no reason for me at that point to give you money.
What I'll do is I'll give you product. I'll give you free water bottles. I'll give you cases and cases of free water bottles but I'm not got to give you a $50,000.
So the product placement, money-wise only usually happens to films that are guaranteed 3000, 4000 theaters.
I asked Tom About Financing A Film with Product Placement
Me: That's very interesting because, we have been talking to some people out here about product placement.
There's a fairly positive feel about it, because, normal standards of advertising are changing. The retention value of adverts on TV and are dying.
People go and making the coffee when the adverts come on and things like that. There is some interest but it's an interesting point you made how do we guarantee that the movie is ever going to be shown or seen?
Tom: Why does the product want to give you money? Or the owner of the product wants to give you money?
Me: Absolutely! If we were going to use product placement to help finance our films, we would need to have some kind of figures and distribution channels to show that that's going to be possible.
Tom: Exactly, exactly.
Me: Interesting, very good idea. I've never really thought about that. That's cool.
Tom: Yeah, again, you think of it from the business aspect of it.
Me: Yeah, I guess when you're putting a team together; you really need, like the businessman and the artist in a movie.
Tom: Well, or you need to be both. You need to have both aspects and kind of embrace that. Be both sides of the hat. Again, like I said, the director, producer, actor doesn't want to think that way but they have to.
How About Financing A Film With Crowd Funding?
Me: Yeah. Alright, moving on, Crowd funding, have you used Crowd funding much?
Tom: You know what, the only thing I did for Crowd funding, I mentored a lot of young filmmakers and I've done, I think 9 short films now and I had them all raise their money on Kickstarter.
They plaster my name and it's so funny, I got a bunch of IMDb credits as executive producer of a short film because I'm just kind of helping them do it.
And I started saying, you know this is looking bad, it looks like I went to features to short story. I made them stop, giving me credit on the film.
In the meantime, I guess, look Crowd funding again is kind of a new thing and in many ways it's exciting because you go, "I'm gonna put my project top on Kickstarter or Indigogo or something, everybody is going to give 50 bucks and that's how I'm going to raise the money."
The problem is you got to raise about 20 grand at the most. My friends went on and I think they've reached $20,000 for a great movie they called Absentia.
The movie itself was already a $30,000 film and they did it well but to get that $20,000, I mean they went through hoops; they were on Kickstarter every day and I was like, "why don't you put this energy into going to finding investors that would help."
That might be one person that needs that $20,000 dollar tax rate off, versus you are on Kickstarter doing as much work as you would have done for, because what I'm saying is on those Crowd funding sites, you need to put a ton of work for them to get it. It's rare, many filmmakers think, "we'll just post by project and I'll make a video or make some nice graphics and give away some stuff and bang. Let me just sit back and a month later, I'm going to collect the money."
It's not that.
So Crowdcfunding works maybe Kickstarter works in the approach that it can kick start your project. You could raise a couple of grand, maybe 10, 15 grand to start your movie, but, I don't see it as far as source of funding films completely unless you're making ultra, ultra, ultra-low budget films.
Me: Yeah, that's interesting, and the whole, first of all, I love the excitement I can hear in your voice. You seem really excited about the different topics. That's cool.
I think what I'm really picking up between the lines of what you're saying is that product placement and Crowd funding, they have their place but the end of the day it's really down to raising cash from individuals who are interested in having their stuff in the movies in a business manner style.
Tom: Yeah, the fact is, like I was in a meeting for filmmakers, I've been invited to host , Happy Independents Day, Independents Day or something like that. But independents, is like as far as independents film, which I thought is a real cool name to prepare for a film festival.
Anyway, I was the kind of expert that was brought in. People ask me all about these things about business plans and things like that and I'm talking then somebody just said that the budget of my film is $30,000.
It was almost like that's a little low for going through all these steps of business plans and things like that. I know, I kind of say, what I'm talking about when I talked on preparation, is doing more of a, say anywhere in a range $200,000 and 5 million dollars.
That's what I'm talking about as far as the business plans. You look, you need all the preparations no matter which budget movie you're doing. I just did the lowest one I have ever done, it was a little under a $100,000 and sold it right away for profit and you do need preparation and all that stuff but it's you know, Crowd funding, you might be talking to a different world.
Does that make sense? There may be a few, saying I want to make movie its $3,000 horror film, that's a different world in saying its $450,000.
Me: Yap, I really hear that and get that entirely. You know, in the laser world, doing a 1000 dollar show for a night is pretty much the same amount of work as a $10,000 show. There's not much difference between the 2.
You'll still go to do the quotations; you'll still going to turn up with the staff. You'll still going to drive there to the venues and ingress all the equipment and the actual work load between the 2 different show is very dissimilar, it's almost the same.
Tom: Yeah! You see that all the time.
Me: I was going to say, is that the same in the movie world? A small script or a small movie pretty much the same preparation levels as a full blown movie?
Tom: Oh God Yeah! Unless you're talking something really small but once you're going to do a certain size of the film, yeah, it is the same, it's just like, there's a great scene on a great movie called Hoosiers, about will they make it to the basketball finals and Gene Hackman who plays the coach, the players are really intimidated cause their used to play in this small stadiums and Gene Hackman who plays the coach, proceeds, as he goes and takes some team and he takes a tape measure and he puts a tape measure up to the basket and in the rim and draws it down and measures everything, kind of proves to the team it's the same size court.
It's just there are 50,000 people on the stands versus 2,000. Same exact basketball size, everything was the same, he does it with the tape measure, it's a great scene.
It's the same thing in the restaurants, that the restaurants where the guys slinging hash, running back and forth, is putting the same amount of effort in that restaurant where the check may be $20 versus the high-end restaurants where the check may be $200 and their going to give much bigger tip. In the high end restaurant but you're doing the exact same amount of work.
That's much the same in the film, again when you're talking $3000 horror movie no, that's not but, when you're talking $300,000 movies, $3 million dollar movies, $30 million dollar movies, they are all pretty much the same except for the size of the crew and the speed of which they move.
Me: That's very interesting comments. I really hear what you're saying there completely. Again, in the good old days, I remember watching movies being shot in film, in fact in Manila, I still see guys riding round on a bicycle, with a roll of film, as they go from cinema to cinema.
The world is changes now. They're going to digital and internet. Is that having a big change on the way we finance movies?
Tom: Yeah, without question. The bottom line is we don't buy DVD's anymore. That's a big problem. It happened right in the middle of making movies.
When I was doing the bigger films, it was like suddenly people don't buy DVD's anymore. They go on their set top box and they wanted to just order on demand. That's getting worst and worst.
Look at Blockbusters completely going out of business. That's direct result of nobody buying movies anymore. Yes changing, because, that DVD's sales supported the industry a lot.
Back in 2004, 2003, 2000, before then you could guarantee shipments of DVD's in the millions no matter what, that was a big thing.
Now, the fact is, nobody buying DVD's anymore, they want it downloaded. They wanted it on their, you know on demand. It's a big problem.
I never have all the answers. What can I say, I think that more and more, the most profitable movies are the ones over 80 million or under 1 million.
That's the only way. It's really tough; again looking in the business aspect, there's no product to support you. You're not shipping and packing DVD's.
Me: I guess the distribution companies really need to make changes now, the way they handle distributing movies.
Tom: Yeah, the distributors always seem to never lose money. They always seem to be right on that track.

The Salem News
---- — To the editor:
This is in reference to Anthony Salvo's recent letter on the senior center site ("Senior center should be in Willows," May 9).
I am one of those who have lived in Salem more than 40 years. Though born at the old JB Thomas Hospital, I was raised on Memorial Drive and after a few adult years in nearby cities, moved back to my childhood home. It's a beautiful area and I know how fortunate I am to live in this particular neighborhood.
Now, with that said, let me tell you "the rest of the story." Let me tell you about the many times I can't get to my home after a night at work due to the many road races held in this area. The streets are blocked, people block the driveway and I've had the Salem police tell me to "just wait, it'll only be another hour or so." They tailgate, cheer, walk on the grass and flowers. Soon a very popular walk will overtake the area and my freedom to come and go as I please from my own home will be on hold.
Tony Salvo mentioned the Memorial Drive site would be best for the new senior center. He mentioned plenty of parking — where, along Memorial Drive? Will this parking also be metered? I know everywhere I go in this city there are signs telling me "Resident Parking Only." Will Memorial Drive residents now qualify for this amenity? Once this site is built on, how lovely is it then? Has he ever noticed the people enjoying this view during a family outing?
This area already supports heavy traffic in nice weather, road races, motorcycle noise, sewer and power plants and is also deemed perfect for a large unsightly wind turbine.
Mr. Salvo argues that the Boston/Bridge Street site is a perpetual poison due to past uses. It's a killer! Where does he think many of the over-80 crowd worked in this city? If this site is still so dangerous after clean-up, will it ever be developed?
There area many quality-of-life issues in Salem. The quality of roads and travel and the quality of representation by councilors, to name only two. You see, two are all I have time for as I must get the recycling out.

LAHORE - Residents of Samanabad area took to the streets on Tuesday against the prolonged electricity loadshedding and staged a demonstration.
The protesters were carrying banners and placards, inscribed with the slogans against the Lesco. They were also seen chanting slogans against the federal government. The protestors blocked road for traffic and burnt the tyres on road.
The protesters said they had been experiencing 16 to 18 hours prolonged power outages in their area that caused shortage of water and other problems. Protests against loadshedding were also reported in other part of the country as well.
Meanwhile, 18 to 20 hours load shedding continued all over the country. The demand and supply gap is crossing 8000MW and severs shortage of fuel was hitting hard the power sector.
The national grid faced 60 per cent shortage in demand and supply of electricity on third consecutive day on Monday, forcing power managers to conduct average 18 hours countrywide shutdown.
The urban areas are under the grip of 16 to 18 hours load shedding while there is virtually no electricity in rural areas of the country.
The severe shortage of fuel for IPPs and Wapda owned Gencos are the main reason behind the worst load shedding crisis, according to officials of the power sector.

Vaccination for Your Preteen
August is the time of year we begin to think of back-to-school activities: buying new school clothes and shoes, getting school supplies and backpacks and connecting with our pediatricians for back-to-school physicals. August is also National Immunization Awareness Month. It makes sense to choose August as the time of year to focus our attention on immunizations as we prepare for back to school.
Is your child up to date on his immunizations? Is your preteen? Did you know that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now recommends that 11- and 12-year-olds receive three preteen vaccines?
Why the Worry?
Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, explains that "many parents do not realize that some childhood vaccines, such as those for tetanus and whooping cough, wear off over time and, as they get older, young people are at risk of exposure to different diseases at school, camp or in other new situations."
Experts at the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP) have partnered to launch a new preteen vaccine campaign to educate and inform parents of these new recommendations. The campaign's launch coincides with National Immunization Awareness Month and is endorsed by the AAP, the American Academy of Family Physicians and the Society for Adolescent Medicine.
An additional goal of this campaign is to increase parental awareness about the importance of having their 11- or 12-year-old seen for a checkup. "The preteen checkup is a great time to talk with your child's healthcare provider about your child's development, nutrition, safety and vaccination status," Dr. Schuchat says.
Recommended Vaccines
The three recommended vaccines include MCV4 (which protects against meningitis and its complications), Tdap (which is a booster against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis or "whooping cough") and for girls the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine (which protects against the most common types of cervical cancer).
- Meningitis: According to the CDC, "Meningococcal meningitis is a very serious infection of the lining around the brain and spinal cord. It can cause death. Meningococcal bloodstream infection can cause loss of an arm or leg and even death. Preteens should receive a single shot of this vaccine during their 11- or 12-year-old checkup." If your teenager has missed the MCV4 vaccine, contact your pediatrician and schedule an appointment to get the vaccine.
- Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis: Pertussis or "whooping cough," as it is more commonly known, is extremely contagious. It is a respiratory tract infection that often results in prolonged coughing spells. According to the CDC, "If it is transmitted to infants, it may be life threatening. Tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) is an improvement to the old Td booster because it adds protection from whooping cough while still maintaining protection from tetanus and diphtheria." It is recommended that preteens receive a single shot of Tdap at their 11- or 12-year-old check.
- Human Papillomavirus: According to the CDC,
human papillomavirus or HPV is a common virus most often
seen in teens and individuals in their early 20s. HPV is the major cause of cervical
cancer in women. The vaccine protects against the types of HPV that most commonly
cause cervical cancer and genital warts.
The HPV vaccine has raised some controversy. HPV is a sexually transmitted disease. Many parents feel it is not appropriate to vaccinate their preteen for such a disease, especially when their preteen is not sexually active. The CDC holds the position that "girls should get three doses of this vaccine before their first sexual contact when they could be exposed to HPV. If your teenage daughter missed getting the vaccine when she was 11 or 12, ask her doctor about getting it now."
Other Vaccines
Be sure your preteen is up to date on the hepatitis B vaccine, as well as vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella (these last three are traditionally "the most serious vaccine-preventable diseases," notes the CDC). Additionally, make sure your child has had vaccines for polio and varicella (chickenpox).
According to the National Partnership for Immunization, "Maintaining high immunization rates protects the entire community by interrupting the transmission of disease-causing bacteria or viruses. This reduces the risk that unimmunized people will be exposed to disease-causing agents. This type of protection is known as community or herd immunity and embodies the concept that protecting the majority with safe, effective vaccines also protects those who cannot be immunized for medical reasons."
For more information about the preteen vaccines check out the CDC, and then get out and get those immunizations!
Preparing for Shots
The California Coalition for Childhood Immunizations recommends the following tips to help preteens feel more at ease getting shots.
Encourage your preteen to:
- Bring along favorite music.
- Remember to breathe. Take slow, deep breaths.
- Make eye contact with you or another supportive person.
- Close the eyes and think of a favorite place or activity.
- Focus on something in the room, like a poster.
- Talk about a fun upcoming activity.

Question: How do I know what type of life insurance will serve my needs best?
Answer: You can use life insurance to pay for final expenses, estate taxes, or leave an estate for the use of your heirs. Here are some policy types to choose from:
A survivor or second to die insurance policy, offered either as Universal Life or Whole Life, pays a death benefit at the later death of two insured individuals, usually a husband and wife. That way it can pay estate taxes when they occur – at the second person's death. Most individuals arrange to pay little or no estate taxes at the death of the first person because of the unlimited marital deduction in the estate tax. This coverage is widely used because it is generally much less expensive than individual coverage on either spouse.

I Still Have All My Leaves....is what this tree was saying.... (well it would if it could talk). I noticed this tree when I was driving out of my subdivision this morning. Seems all the other trees have lost their leaves and are bare. This beauty still has not only all the leaves, but the beautiful red fall color. I just had to stop and take this photo.
The below poem, TREES, is by Joyce Kilmer
I THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - The University of Louisville committed to buying the silos and land that line Interstate 65, a block from Papa John's Cardinal Stadium, but when will it happen? Mark Hebert with UofL says they don't have a timeline right now.
"It's going to be a lot of money and we do not have that money right now. The foundation doesn't have the money right now to tear them down," Hebert said.
[PREVIOUS STORY: UofL ready for drivers to see more campus with silos sale]
The University of Louisville Foundation made the negotiations and commitment to buy the old Solae plant. Actually tearing down the 22 silos will not only be expensive, but difficult.
"Those silos are almost all concrete with a steel interior and they were built to withstand explosions like for grain or something that would be put inside," Hebert said. "So you know they may be 2 or 3 feet thick walls, it's going to be tough to tear those things down."
Originally used for storing soybeans for the Solae plant, they withstood the stresses of a city growing up around them for 94 years, a perfect backdrop for a Hollywood explosion.
"Maybe some movie producer or some director or someone wants to blow something up they can take care of it. Maybe we can get a free demolition out of it," Hebert said.
As for what will happen the material used to make the silos Hebert said, "If the metal inside the silos can be recycled and used maybe someone can be interested in tearing them down for the recycled material inside."

Kobe Bryant, be it knee injury or general exhaustion, didn't have it early on Monday night. He shot just 2-10 in the first half, and because Kobe didn't have it but kept shooting, it looked like the Los Angeles Lakers were on their way to a loss. But it clicked back together in the third, as Kobe scored 11 points on 5-8 shooting and the Lakers turned a deficit to the Orlando Magic into a lead. The Lakers' bench handled it from there, and L.A. won 97-84.
Kobe ended up shooting 7-19. He played just over two minutes in the fourth, because his bench was kind enough to 71-66 lead at the end of the third into 85-69 lead a few minutes into the final period. Phil Jackson took the opportunity to rest Kobe, who was a game-time decision due to an ankle sprain aggravated in Saturday's win over the Dallas Mavericks. Bryant hasn't missed a game all season.
Dwight Howard was powerful for the Magic, scoring 22 points on 8-14 shooting with 15 rebounds and two blocks. But Howard had an unbelievable nine turnovers -- half of Orlando's 18 -- and that helped the Lakers to 20 fast-break points.The Lakers, meanwhile, only turned the ball over three times, tying the season's lowest mark (Philadelphia had three vs. the Clippers in December). The difference between three turnovers and 18 made up for Orlando's better shooting. The Lakers' 14 offensive rebounds didn't hurt, either.
Gilbert Arenas shot 0-6 off the bench.

The latest Chrome Dev channel release drops support for OS X 10.5 Leopard
Yesterday, the Google Chrome team released version 22.0.1201.0 for Mac, Windows, and Linux to the Dev channel, and while there weren't any details given on what features this release might contain, the team did note that it was incompatible with Mac OS X 10.5 — more commonly known as Leopard. This OS was released way back in October of 2007, so we can't say we're surprised to hear that Chrome will require a slightly more modern OS going forward. Chrome 20 is the current stable release, so we'd expect Leopard users to get one more fully-baked release before compatibility breaks. For those still running 10.5, it might be time to either upgrade your OS — or grab a new Mac that can support newer versions of OS X. The latter course might be the only option for some Leopard users, as it was the last version of OS X to run on the venerable PowerPC hardware.

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Three local families are getting more than a pat on the back for overcoming challenges during military service. This is the first year Wellspring Alliance for Families has given out the outstanding individual families awards to the relatives of veterans. The group says the families also value giving back to the community. Award Recipient Brett Bennett says the award is even more special on the observed Veteran's Day.
"The things that veterans have had to pay, the things that they had to experience and deal with whenever they serve in order so that our country could remain free, words don't describe it. Words don't do it justice," Bennett said.
The three families will,each,get a brick in their honor at the Chennault Aviation and Military Museum.

"What language shall I borrow to thank thee, dearest friend?" The church responds to the poet's question by closely listening to the biblical testimony, where words of thanksgiving—as well as words of lament, clarification, and promise—are voiced in a thousand ways. Theology has its ears open to words that name sin, proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, and explore the mysterious place in between. A theology of the Word dares us to thankfully receive words as God's good gifts—gifts which beg to be practiced, strung together in evocative ways, and embodied for the sake of the Reign of God."
Allan Rudy-Froese blends a heart for the church, preparation in communicating the Good News of the gospel, and infectious humor to the ministry of teaching students how to communicate with diverse audiences in our current culture. His dissertation brings together homiletics, theology, biblical studies, and performance theory to bear on ethics and grace in Mennonite preaching. Research interests for Allan include Jonah as a source for narrative, poetic and missional preaching; preaching practice and theology among North American Mennonites and the changing landscape of preaching on ethical issues. Allan leads preaching workshops for lay preachers, serves as a coach for individual preachers, and leads seminars for those who preach in the context of para-church organizations, and conference and denominational leadership

This is perhaps the most crowded category of all in the Users' Choice awards. A whopping eight brands have made it to the club this year, with HP taking a clear lead amongst all brands, followed by IBM at a distant second. Wipro and CMS are close on the heels of IBM, and the rest are behind by a comfortable margin.
|Users' Choice Club 2010
|This category has the highest number of players of all segments we surveyed this year, with HP topping the charts.
|Future Brand Preference Reasons
|Product reliability is the biggest amongst the four reasons why users are likely to choose the top three brands.
Reasons why our respondents are likely to go for the services of the top brands in this category are interesting. 100% of the users who were likely to go with Sify said so because of its brand name, making it a very strong option for managed security services. 91% of Wipro fans chose it for product reliability, followed by HP at 70%. Similarly, 55% of Wipro's fans chose it for initial price followed again by HP at 43%. Sify seems to also be preferred over others for after sales service and support.
When we asked participants of the Users' Choice Club 2010 about brand loyalty of their current brand we found that Sify leads with 70%. Other two members need to improve on this aspect as their brand loyalty percentage is low, HP has brand loyalty of 40% while Wipro has brand loyalty of 27%.
|Brand Loyalty 2010 vs 2009
|IBM enjoys the highest brand loyalty amongst its existing customers, seeing a massive gain of 54% over last year.
Brand perception by industry and geography are also very interesting. Top brand HP has very strong brand perception in only the IT/ITeS segment and eastern India. It shows strong brand perception in BFSI and services segments, and in south India. It needs improvement in other regions and industries.
IBM is very strong in discrete and process manufacturing, and BFSI segements; and its brand perception is strong in all zones except east India. Wipro's brand perception is very strong in communications and media and the services industries. It's strong in BFSI and west India. In the remaining industries and zones, it needs to build up stronger brand perception. Reliance is very strong in IT/ITeS and strong in comm. and media industry.

Plan in advance for Grand Depart, warns Council
1:48pm Monday 23rd June 2014 in News
CYCLING fans have been urged to plan their journey to watch the Tour de France well in advance as the famous race travels through the Bradford district.
Stage One of the famous race comes through Burley-in-Wharfedale, Ilkley and Addingham on Saturday, July, 5, with the caravan of around 180 promotional vehicles due to enter the district at around 10.15am.
The second stage takes in Addingham, Silsden, Keighley, Cross Roads, Haworth and Oxenhope the following day, with the caravan due to enter the district at around 10.45am.
The competitors are expected to go through around two hours later.
Anyone with plans to travel over the weekend of July 5 and 6 can view a new online map showing road closures, car parks and live traffic details.
The website, letour.yorkshire.com/travel, includes a live journey planner to help people work out how they will get to and from where they are watching the race.
Bradford Council has written to residents who live along the route of the Grand Depart to inform them of road closures and any parking restrictions that apply to them.
Those who usually park on the race route, have been advised to move their cars to either other nearby street parking or to residents only car parks that are being set up where needed.
Around 5,000 business owners have been contacted by the Council to tell them of road closures and parking changes as well as encouraging them to consider what alternative arrangements they may need to make for deliveries and staff.
The roads on the race route will be closed at 5.30am on July 5 and at 6.30am on July 6.
No vehicles will be allowed to drive on or across the race route after road closures are in force.
But people will be able to walk and cycle on and across the race route up to 30 minutes before the promotional caravan travels through.
During the road closures there will be no access for vehicles to properties either adjacent to, or on the race route itself.
Bradford Council leader David Green said: "It is really important that people are aware of the road closures and restrictions, regardless of whether they want to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity or have other plans."
For more information about the Tour de France in the Bradford district , go to bradford.gov.uk/tdf.
Meanwhile, the Yorkshire Air Ambulance will add a third aircraft to its fleet during the Grand Départ.
The third aircraft will be used for the week leading up to the event as well as over the weekend itself. It will be operational from stand-by points at pre-identified and surveyed sites close-by to, and along, the route.

NFL.com Video
This is the video on NFL.com when you go to the Bucky Brooks story. At 1:00 minute in, Steve Wyche states that if Bowe doesn't sign his tender and report by August 6th he looses a year in free agency. This is news to me, as I though it was like the 10th game of season before he would loose the year. Is this something new in the CBA? Anyone else heard this?

How Ford Slimmed Down the F-150 for the Future
For all the power and intensity Ford (NYSE:F) F-Series trucks represent, the automaker has acknowledged the call of a lighter, more efficient future. According to a Bloomberg report, the automaker has pulled off the F-150 weight drop and come close to realizing its goals of slimming down the pickup by some 700 pounds, mainly through the use of aluminum. It will likely lead to a revolution among Detroit automakers producing the country's best-selling vehicles.
Considering F-Series trucks have led the U.S. auto industry in sales for 32 straight years, skeptics might wonder why Ford would mess with such a good thing. (In 2013, Ford F-Series trucks beat the second-place challenger by 283,000 vehicles.) But the automaker has undertaken ambitious goals under CEO Alan Mulally, and the total revamp of the company's signature truck may represent the last great piece of the chief executive's legacy.
Bloomberg reports the goal of cutting the F-150′s weight by 750 pounds is nearly reached in the truck Ford will display at Detroit's auto show in mid-January. The 2015 Ford F-150 may contain as much as 20 percent aluminum in order to achieve the low weight, auto consultants told Bloomberg, while a 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine will make the truck even lighter. Ford is acknowledging the pressure of increased fuel efficiency standards in the slim down.
