U.S. Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe spoke at a National Postal Forum in San Francisco on March 18, prompting picketing by rank and file postal employees and their supporters. Protestors opposed Donahoe's support for post office closures and layoffs of USPS (U.S. Postal Service) workers. The demonstration was part of a week of actions called for by Communities and Postal Workers United .

The situation in public housing projects in Coney Island, Brooklyn remains a "humanitarian crisis" in which the government and the Red Cross have been nearly completely absent, according to Eric Moed, a volunteer aid worker with Occupy Sandy. The projects in Coney Island remain without power and often without water and necessities in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

Ask anyone living in Cobble Hill or Carroll Gardens or Park Slope earlier this week, and they would tell you that they have power, hot water and wi-fi. In fact, most of the $1 million-plus townhouses and local businesses in Brooklyn's wealthier neighborhoods never lost any basic necessities, even during the worst of the storm. But the Gowanus Houses, a low-income public housing complex owned and operated by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), which falls almost at the intersection of those three neighborhoods, is an exception.

Six years ago, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf coast. The impact of Katrina and government bungling continue to inflict major pain on the people left behind. It is impossible to understand what happened and what still remains without considering race, gender and poverty. The following offer some hints of what remains.

One year after an earthquake devastated Haiti, much of the promised relief and reconstruction aid has not reached those most in need. Less than 2% of the $267 million spent so far has gone to Haitian firms, the rest to "masters of disaster," big U.S. firms that hire Haitians to do the back-breaking work for $5 a day.

The fight for housing affordable to low-income families in the United States is a vortex – even unlike the work I did representing immigrants in the post-9/11 world. In my experience, fighting for public housing is more unpopular than fighting for non-citizens' rights.

It's a sure sign summer is coming to a close when you drive by the and see Majestic Midway trucks, dismantled amusement rides and cleared fire truck bays. They're setting up for "the fair."
To Fair Havenites, that's what is — simply, "the fair."
It has always marked endings and new beginnings: R-FH students meeting up on the grounds and saying their week-long good-byes before heading off to college; kids coming back together before school starts and talking about who got what teacher; and those many familiar volunteer faces handing out balloons and prizes and serving up some classic fair food.
It's always the last year in August, but, to be exact, this year, the fair runs from Aug. 24 to Sept. 1 and volunteers are needed. Click here for specifics from the fire company.
Before you sign up, take a look at the photos of the set-up (above) and tell us which of the dismantled rides you see has appeared at the fair almost since its inception. What's its name? Anything you'd like to see return this year? Tell us.
Also, feel free to upload any photos you may have of past years' fair preparations; or email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Eagles have sold more than 120 million albums worldwide, earning five #1 U.S. singles and six GRAMMY® Awards.Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 is the best-selling album of all time, exceeding sales of 29 million units.

Sep 17, 14 Eric Church "The Outsiders World Tour"
Although Church has already built a reputation as a restless creative force while blazing an unconventional path to country superstardom, The Outsidersrepresents an audacious quantum leap. The aggressive set, which consists almost entirely of Church compositions or co-compositions, finds the iconoclastic singer-songwriter-guitarist covering a dizzying amount of musical and lyrical ground, taking advantage of a wide range of sonic options to construct an adventurous, consistently thrilling ride. The result is Church's most revealing, personally-charged statement yet—and one that challenges many of the accepted rules of contemporary country music.

I have developed a J2ME application on Series 60 platform.
I am using NDS installed in JBuilder Mobile Edition
Now I need to do a demo on a computer.
Where can find the emulator application file and how do I run it on a computer as standalone? Also, how do I run the emulator and open my .jar file?
I can't use the IDE to run the emulator, because the demo needs to be performed on a neutral computer where there is no IDE installed.

Clitheroe 0 Radcliffe Borough 3
2:20pm Monday 7th January 2013 in Sport
THREE second-half goals consigned Clitheroe to a disappointing home defeat to Radcliffe Borough.
The Blues conceded two penalties in the space of seven second-half minutes which were duly converted by James Burke and Matt Crooks before the latter completed the rout late on.
Clitheroe enjoyed their best spell of the game in the final five minutes of the half and carved out their most presentable chance of the match.
After Danny Mahoney drilled a shot inches wide, Borough keeper James Coates kept the hosts at bay with a smart reflex save.
The lively Adam Birchall found Chris Mason in the penalty area who picked out Simon Nangle only for the 22-year-old to denied by former New Mills stopper Coates.
Radcliffe took the lead when Burke calmly slotted home from the spot in the 70th minute and added a second penalty seven minutes later.
And with two minutes remaining, Crooks added a third with a superb finish.

NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook has long declared that it's "free and always will be." And it still is — unless you want more friends to see what you have to say.
The social media giant is rolling out a feature in the U.S. that lets users pay to promote their posts to friends, just as advertisers do. Facebook has been testing the service in New Zealand, where it tries out a lot of new features, and has gradually introduced it in more than 20 other countries. Facebook said Wednesday that promoting a post — such as announcing a garage sale, charity drive or big news like an engagement — will bump it higher in your friends' news feeds.
"Every day, news feed delivers your posts to your friends. Sometimes a particular friend might not notice your post, especially if a lot of their friends have been posting recently and your story isn't near the top of their feed," wrote Abhishek Doshi, a software engineer at Facebook, on Facebook's news site.
Facebook says it costs $7 a post.

Hurricanes recall Jordan from Charlotte
The Carolina Hurricanes announced today that Checkers defenseman Michal Jordan has been recalled and will join the team prior to its game tonight in Raleigh against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Jordan, 22, is in his third professional season – all with Charlotte – and has 15 points (6g, 9a) in 48 games. He ranks second among active Checkers defensemen in scoring and represented the Western Conference at the 2013 AHL All-Star Classic in Providence, R.I. Jordan becomes the 14th participant to be recalled since the Jan. 27-28 event.
This marks the first NHL call-up for the Zlin, Czech Republic, native, who has 14 goals and 41 assists in 191 career AHL regular-season games with the Checkers.

Google+ is the upcoming social network according to industry stats. Google+ shares are directly correlated to high search rankings. This may mean that shares actually help stuff rank (which I doubt) or it can mean that stuff which ranks, tends to be shared (which seems likely). For that reason I think it's time to revisit Google+ and see how it fits into my online strategy.
Over the years I've occasionally been active there and the result is that I have over 1000 people following me right now. Pretty amazing for a network I haven't been active in. There are two ways to share posts with specific groups within Google+. The first is 'circles' the second 'communities'. For a newby the two can be confusing. Here's a quick summary I gave on the topic on facebook:
The circles are the way in which we can organize public shares – the google+ communities are like facebook groups: people can join them and they can be private or public or whatever. Circles are your private way of organizing that feed, so you can actually find the posts by your friends among the link-drops you'd rather not see. I have a 'noisy' circle for instance, for people I know, but whose posts I don't need to see, because there are just too many of them.
So, if you want a share to only go to your friends who like baseball, you create a 'baseball' circle. If you want to FIND people to discuss baseball with and ask them a question or discuss the latest game, you join a baseball community. Communities on Google+ can be really fun. They're a place where real discussion takes place. You can join communities around all your interests and find interesting people there. You can also decide whether or not you want the discussions in those groups to show up on your general Google+ feed. In most cases I've chosen not to have them there, because there are just too many things going to my Google+ feed anyhow.
However, it's up to you. Google+ is a bit weird. On the one hand everybody who has a Google profile (Gmail users for instance) automatically has a Google+ account. So many users aren't actually users. They just have an account because Google forced them to create one. The service is also a bit complicated.
However, it does solve some of the issues that are cropping up on facebook. One is privacy – Google+ circles make it very clear to whom your post is visible and you get to make that choice with everything you share. So some things can be public, others will only go to the people you have in circles (aka follow) and some will go to specific groups of people.
For general usage the main issue with Google+ is likely to be that it just has too many options. However, since the use of Google+ is apparently on the rise, perhaps people are learning to deal with that. Or they are finding simplified ways of using it that don't use many of the customization options the system has.
In terms of privacy management Google+ is definitely a step up from Facebook: the default is to decide on a post-by-post basis what goes to which circle. Sure, the system remembers your last setting and uses that as a default, but changing that is not only easy, but a prominent interface option. To share something to a community you have to actually go to that community page.

VALDOSTA, GA (WALB) - The Valdosta fire department is one step closer to becoming the only certified Search and Rescue Task Force in our area.
This week they've conducted high angle rope rescues funded by a one million dollar grant from the Department of Homeland Security.
Once completed, they will be called to any major incident in the region and around the state.
This firefighter is repelling down the side of a tower. Halfway down, his gear malfunctions. Now he's stuck swinging more than a story off the ground. A second firefighter is sent to get him .. dangling upside down.
It's called the pick-off technique, commonly used to rescue trapped construction workers.
"If you for instance a worker or window washer that is stuck in their scaffolding or stuck in their rope. We send a rescuer down, pull them off their rope and bring them back down to safety," says Chris Wessels, GSM Instructor from Atlanta.
In Valdosta, construction sights are as common as azaleas. So this training is vital.
"It has happened. It has happened about six months ago. We had a rescue off one of the construction projects in the city," says Capt. Ken Gallagher of the Valdosta Fire Department.
It also prepares them for potential grave situations in our area, from terrorist attacks to industrial disasters and severe weather.
"I know you've had a problem recently in South Georgia with the tornadoes. If you have building collapses, and there are people inside, they'll get the skills to tunnel through the building and rescue trapped residents," Wessels says.
It's part of 250 hours of training the Valdosta firefighters will receive to become one of a handful of Search and Rescue Task Forces in the state, and the only one in our region.
"There is nothing close to help the citizens in this area, and GEMA realized that," Gallagher says.
"All the GSAR teams throughout the state get the same training, so in a mass disaster we can all function together," adds Wessels.
So whatever disaster may threaten the area, they'll be ready to respond.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – Heart disease isn't just for older adults. In fact, some doctors are recommending cholesterol screenings should begin as early as age 20!
According to doctors at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, high cholesterol can indicate a risk for heart attack and young adults and even teens can show evidence of hardening of the arteries.
They say cholesterol screenings should begin by age 20 and repeated every five years, and after that, more often if a young person is shown to have low levels of the good kind of cholesterol.

It's better luck next year for some now defunct gun legislation. Lawmakers in the Virginia Senate struck down a collection of gun control bills Friday.
But the issue of mental health did get bipartisan support. Democratic Senator Adam Ebbin's bill to ban the sale of firearms to the mentally ill received praise from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, as well as the National Rifle Association.
"That's part of it, not to let guns fall into the hands of the mentally ill," Ebbin said. "And anything we can do to make that happen is a step forward."
"That's what you saw here today: a bipartisanship to work on those issues to help fix that," said Republican Senator Bryce Reeves.
Cooperation did not carry over into the discussion about universal background checks for gun purchases, however. As of Friday, none of the bills advocating such a measure will move forward in either house this session. But lawmakers in the Senate are still considering a bill to require background checks on firearms sales at gun shows.

I'm building some slightly complex menus with many focusable elements. The problem is that Flash doesn't handle focus in the proper way, "jumping" elements and other odd things. I searched for a simple custom way to implement focus management, but haven't found any clear example.
I tried with Key listeners, but I was unable to prevent Flash to move focus with its default behaviour (so as a result I had my focus management + Flash default focus management handling keypress events together... a mess )
Maybe someone has some hints?

It would be an amazing morale boost and possibly could help them out in the long run. I'm not saying we make the playoffs quite yet, there is still a lot of work to do, but tonight we need to do something, otherwise I don't really know where this team is going. LETS GO FLYERS!!!!!!

Love, Infatuation, and Perfume, Part 4
My favorite scents, and thoughts on who they might make good gifts for.
Price: $$$.
Recommended for: the hipster, the coffee lover.
Worth Je Reviens. I like Worth perfumes for so many reasons, not the least of which being that the house was founded by a man who eschewed his family's traditional vocation of calling -- lawyering. Je Reviens is, in my opinion, the best scent gem hiding in the roughs of your local drug store, bar none. Yeah, that's right. I said it. Bar none. You want to walk into the drug store and for less than $20 buy a scent that is, to this day, unique and wonderful and well-made? You cannot go wrong with Je Reviens. The scent itself is hard to describe, because it's a little bit sweet and a little bit floral and a little bit salty, and yet comes together in a terrific mingling.
Price: $.
Recommended for: the eclectic friend; the lover of an excellent bargain.
"We only said goodbye with words. I died a hundred times. You go back to her, and I go back to...." I can easily imagine loathing this scent after loving someone who wore it. It is so beautifully elegant. I want not to love it. I want not to love the entire line. I want to side with all the other perfume bloggers who are like, "Yeah! By Kilian is not poorly made and way overpriced!" But I can't. I like a lot of the scents, and this one in particular. So I will pony up the immense cost because, frankly, it's beautiful and I want it.
Price: $$$$.
Recommended for: The humidor collector, the person who loves a warm, snuggly sweater.

Last Update: Wednesday, August 27, 2014
|Gisela Ariza Goes to Washington
|Written by Alex Garcia Sun Contributing Writer
|Thursday, 31 May 2012 04:42
Valley Native Gains National Public Policy Experience in the Nation's Capital
Gisela Ariza from Sylmar is one of the graduate fellows at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute in Washington DC.
At the end of her graduate work at USC, where she received a Masters in Education, School Counseling, Gisela Ariza wasn't sure what path to follow. She had interned as a school counselor and worked for a TRIO Program in South Los Angeles, but didn't know if she wanted to go back into the schools. That's when she received an "email from a friend of a friend" that made her move 3,000 miles away to Washington D.C., and reconsider her career prospects.
"The email just said I should apply to this fellowship," said Ariza, 25, whose family lives in Sylmar, and who had never been to nation's capital. The email told her about the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's (CHCI), a nationally recognized and highly competitive Graduate Fellowship Program that provides all participants with roundtrip transportation to and from Washington, D.C., health insurance, and a gross monthly stipend of $2,700 to help cover housing and local expenses.
Ariza, a graduate of Birmingham High School, said she had never heard of CHCI or about the fellowship but, nonetheless, was intrigued about the program.
"I wasn't sure 100 percent that I was going to work in schools," she said, when she decided to apply.
CHCI, a Hispanic youth leadership development and educational organization, selected Ariza for its nine-month program that offers talented Latinos who recently earned their graduate degree an opportunity to gain hands-on experience at the national level working in Congress, federal agencies, national nonprofit organizations, and corporate America.
Ariza, born to Guatemalan parents who immigrated to the United States in the 1980s, was selected from among hundreds of applicants from across the country to take part in the program, and is now becoming CHCI Secondary Education Graduate Fellow.
"CHCI is committed to keeping the promise to our nation's future leaders and providing unmatched public policy experience and access to the most powerful network of Latino leaders in America," said Esther Aguilera, CHCI president and CEO. "The fellowship program is directly helping young people achieve the American Dream."
Ariza began her fellowship August 2011, and was initially placed at the National Education Association, a teacher's union, before moving on to the Office of Rep. Chaka Fattah from Philadelphia.
"It's been really amazing," Ariza said of working in Congress and taking part in the program. "You learn to appreciate our country's political system. It's like being in history and government class, but living it." As part of the experience, she got to meet President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, as well as Supreme Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina to reach that position.
"You get to attend meetings and conference and realize that not everything is like what we see on TV," said Ariza. "It's like there's no more mystery. You learn how things work behind the scenes."
As part of the program, Ariza and other fellows take part in weekly leadership training sessions that allow them to meet with national leaders and engage in substantive policy discussions. They are also required to work on a collaborative community service project that serves the local Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.
In November and December 2011, in partnership with State Farm, the Fellows created and presented workshops on "Teen Driver Safety and Understanding Distracted Driving" for high school students at Bell Multicultural High School in Washington D.C. They must also write a policy paper regarding their particular field.
She recently presented her white paper, "Analysis of Flexibility Waivers, Process and Impact on English Language Learners" at the CHCI Young Latino Leaders Summits, on April 16, on Capitol Hill.
The paper deals with whether the flexibility waivers issued by the Obama Administration to states to help them come up with ways to close the achievement gap were going to benefit or hurt Spanish-speaking students, something of particular interest in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
"When I was doing my (practicum hours) program at USC, I dealt with a lot of Spanishspeaking students who were not proficient in English or had just arrived," said Ariza, adding the experience led to her paper.
She has enjoyed the experience of living and working in Washington D.C., so much so that Ariza has decided to remain there after finishing the fellowship.
Initially, she said her parents were not too keen on the idea of her being so far away.
"They're very proud and very excited for me. But they miss me a lot," said, noting that her father, Victor, mother Concha, and younger sister Manuela recently visited her new home.
"They finally got to see what I'm doing and where I live. They loved it. We went up to New York and New Jersey and they also went on a tour of the White House."
Ariza currently works as an Educational Counselor for the College Board, an organization that deals with the SATs and preparing students for college and helping them access the university system. In her new job, Ariza works with adults in the Washington D.C. area who didn't finish high school, or are trying to get back into college.
"With my participation in this program, I will have firsthand access to the policy-making arena, where I aim to ultimately improve inequities experienced in the secondary education system by minority students in the United States," she said.
"I assist the clients that come in with the FAFSA (college financial aid application) or high school drop outs, recent immigrants or those who want to go into vocational classes," she said. "It's really different from what I had done before, which was teaching K-12."
It's a job she likes, Ariza said, as she enjoys working with people and helping them achieve their educational goals. And it's a position where she can impart some of the experience she's gained having taking chances along the way.
"I always tell people 'just do what you want to do.' Sometimes people are not ready for college and they just need to live life a little. But if they want to go to college, you need to look for ways to make it happen. There's so many scholarships," said Ariza, who required her students to apply for two scholarships a month when she was teaching in a South Los Angeles public school.
Eventually, Ariza said she would like to work for the Department of Education and head back to the "hill" and work in Congress, as she had come to enjoy politics. "It's quite fun," she said.
In all, Ariza is thankful for having received that fortuitous email about the fellowship program.
"It's one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had," she said. "You get to learn a lot about health and education policy."

Allowing an Adult Gift Shop to be Opened
Every town should be able to have an adult gift shop. It is wrong for the city to turn down the want of having one. Think about it, this is America. It is supposed to represent freedom. How can this be if the city will not even allow an adult gift shop to be opened. The opening of this business will allow adults the freedom to purchase adult material without the hassle of driving hours to get to another adult gift shop. Please support this petition and sign it if you would like to have an adult gift shop in our town.

Teaching Kids Not to Talk to Strangers
Teaching Your Child Safety And Not Talk To Strangers
As your child gets older, it's normal for him to not want to be glued to your side at all times. It's also normal for you to worry about who your child might encounter when he's out on his own.
You can feel better about giving him more independence if you teach him how to be safe around strangers. The FBI and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children offer some tips to share with your child:
- Ask your parents before you leave your house, go somewhere, or take a ride from someone.
- Tell your parents where you're going, what route you're taking, who you're going with, and when you will be home.
- If someone in a car asks you for something, do not go up to or get into the car.
- Always say no if someone tries to touch you, speak to you, or treat you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable or scared.
- If an adult approaches you, get yourself out of the situation as quickly as possible, and don't worry about being impolite. Safety is more important than manners.
- If you feel unsafe, tell a trusted adult right away.

A man wanted in Kansas was caught in a home near Boring with a sophisticated marijuana growing operation.
The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office served a search warrant Wednesday afternoon, acting on an anonymous tip. Deputies arrested Kevin Davis, 37, who is listed as one of the most wanted suspects out of Sedgwick County, KS.
Investigators said they found an elaborate video surveillance system protecting an illegal marijuana growing operation. Deputies said Davis was found hiding in a crawlspace.
The search of the house revealed 84 marijuana plants, according to deputies, valued at more than $250,000. Two stolen pistols were also recovered, along with cash.
Davis was booked at the Clackamas County Jail on felony drug charges and may later be extradited back to Kansas to face charges of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
If you know anything more about the suspect or this case, call the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office confidential tip line, 503-723-4949.

Sometimes I want to slap my forehead when I hear an idea so simple that I should have thought of it myself ages ago. Then I sigh and steal the idea.
At a meeting this week with Denver Post colleagues, they noted that their tweets promoting staff-written content include the staff member's username:
Hickenlooper, Hancock still working on what to do about #Denver tent city protesters: dpo.st/oYgxtp via @timhoover—
The Denver Post (@denverpost) October 13, 2011
It's a simple idea that makes great sense, and I shared it this morning with Journal Register Co. editors. Our newsroom Twitter feeds regularly share links to our staff-produced stories and videos, such as this one this morning from @TheOaklandPress:
#Troy, #Oxford lead county in student enrollment growth bit.ly/n3J6aj—
The Oakland Press (@TheOaklandPress) October 13, 2011
The Oakland Press has more than 6,000 followers on Twitter. The reporter who did that story, Diana Dillaber Murray, has 671 followers. Just including her username in the tweet would tell a much larger audience that this is someone they should follow if they're interested in local education.
It's a simple way to help staff members build engagement on Twitter. I should have included this in my tips for engagement through newsroom Twitter accounts. I'll be adding it.
Update: Just thought of this point to add: You should similarly tag staff members who are using Facebook professionally when you promote their content on Facebook.

Abstract—Integrity constraints are rules that should guarantee the integrity of a database. Provided an adequate mechanism to express them is available, the following question arises: Is there any way to populate a database which satisfies the constraints supplied by a database designer? That is, does the database schema, including constraints, admit at least a nonempty model? This work answers the above question in a complex object database environment, providing a theoretical framework, including the following ingredients: 1) two alternative formalisms, able to express a relevant set of state integrity constraints with a declarative style; 2) two specialized reasoners, based on the tableaux calculus, able to check the consistency of complex objects database schemata expressed with the two formalisms. The proposed formalisms share a common kernel, which supports complex objects and object identifiers, and which allow the expression of acyclic descriptions of: classes, nested relations and views, built up by means of the recursive use of record, quantified set, and object type constructors and by the intersection, union, and complement operators. Furthermore, the kernel formalism allows the declarative formulation of typing constraints and integrity rules. In order to improve the expressiveness and maintain the decidability of the reasoning activities, we extend the kernel formalism into two alternative directions. The first formalism,

The Family Court has granted two 16-year-olds permission to take gender reassignment hormones that will permanently transform their bodies and put them at high risk of serious health problems, finding that the dangers are outweighed by the crippling psychological trauma of living as the ''wrong gender''.
The teenagers, ''Terry'' and ''Sam'', are suffering from the condition known as gender dysphoria - where a person identifies with a different gender to the one they were born with.
The pair were formally represented and supported by their respective parents, and successfully applied to the court for permission to immediately undertake both stage one and stage two treatment of the condition.
Under the law, people cannot undertake such treatment until the age of 18 without a court order because it is considered that until they reach adulthood they cannot give informed consent for such a transformation.

As colder air begins to descend upon South Florida, Florida Power & Light offers the following safety tips for staying warm with space heaters:
o Use space heaters for only limited amounts of time and not as a primary heat source.

o Keep flammable materials such as bedding, clothing, draperies, rugs and furniture at least 3 feet away from the heater.
o Keep children and pets away from the heater.
o Keep space heaters away from water to avoid electric shock.
o Turn off and unplug the heater when leaving [More]

Florida Power & Light Co. customers should be aware of deceptive phone calls purporting to be from "FPL Special Services" seeking credit or debt card information. The caller states the bill needs to be paid immediately.
The calls are not from FPL. They are from scammers.
"These guys are using techology to scam our customers. We have had instances where they were spoofing either FPL mumbers or making up a phone thing. We will never call and ask for credit card information or ask for you to pay with a prepaid card," said FPL spokeswoman Heather Kirkendall.

Have you ever changed the thermostat in your home without your partner's knowledge?
If you have committed such a naughty deed, join the club. Almost half of 1,500 Florida adults surveyed by Harris Interactive on behalf of Florida Power & Light Co. admit to changing the thermostat without their spouse or partner's knowledge.
That's one out of every two people. The findings bring some other thoughts to mind. Are these the same folks who hide the remote? Could divorce be just around the corner?

Consumers need to be on the alert for a utility payment scam that began earlier this year and is increasing throughout the state, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi warns.
Individuals posing as utility company employees are calling customers and requesting credit card or prepaid debit card information, threatening to shut off the power if the customer does not provide it. They then use the information to make fraudulent purchases.
Some thieves are using caller ID spoofing, making it appear that the call originates from the customer's utility company.
Florida Power & Light Co. first alerted customers about this scam in January.

February 17, 2011: Keyword research is the life-blood of a search engine optimization campaign. Effective keyword research can lead to high quality traffic and leads. Poor keyword research leads to frustration and leaves site owners questioning the value of SEO.
I find the development of keyword research being part marketing savvy, part data analysis, and part experience working with SEO over time.
Since we've recently been working with several organizations on new keyword research projects, I thought I would share twelve questions I ask myself when performing effective keyword research.
Part 1: Keyword Discovery
- Do I understand the value proposition of the website?
In my opinion, the basis for effective keyword research hinges on how well one understand the products and solutions a website (an organization) really offers. If you do not have this in place, you are throwing darts blind-folded at a dartboard, hoping they hit their mark.
- Do I understand the value proposition of the page?
That sounds simple enough but in reality can be quite challenging. For example, B2B solution pages certainly offer complexity. Not only must one follow the objectives of a solution but how that solution fits into the market.
- How many ways could a visitor search for this content?
Part of keyword research is exploring all of the paths a potential customer might use if they wanted to find your web page. Think about synonyms, adjectives, root keywords, etc and then use keyword tools, to uncover approximate search volumes for the possibilities.
- Did I review competition and industry sources?
Seemingly obvious but this certainly gets overlooked. Not only can one find keyword targets, but a deeper dive may reveal content strategies and link opportunities as well.
- Did I research and cover the existing copy?
Sometimes we (search engine marketing consultants) get so entrenched in detailed keyword research that we forget to evaluate the words the client actually wrote on the page! While marketing speak might get in the way, or obvious in the lack of search potential, it is critical to cover all the bases and come prepared with detail.
- Did I really cover as many ways as possible?
And yes, it is always worthwhile to revisit your research a second (maybe third?) time. Take a break, walk away, and dive back in with a fresh perspective.
Part 2: Keyword Evaluation
Now that you have a wide range of keyword opportunities, the next step is making recommendations for what keywords to prioritize.
- Where in the site navigation, is the page located, that I am applying keywords?
As a general rule, more competitive terms should get placed in more visible (and viewed) locations. Content buried three or four layers down in a navigational stream rarely stands a chance to rank well for highly competitive keywords, unless it's meant to attract inbound links or get referenced consistently in other locations.
- Do I understand the type of search results that appear for a particular keyword opportunity?
Knowing a keyword is searched regularly and the type of results that currently perform well in search engine results are two different things. In other words…
- Does the content on the page resonate with the intent of the search engine query?
Your content needs to be appropriate to the perceived intent. One may argue that search results are not appropriate; that you're content written is truly what is appropriate. Just keep in mind that that is a tougher hill to climb to achieve success (though it can be accomplished with perseverance).
- How competitive are the sites that rank well for a particular keyword?
"Never bring a sword to a gunfight". Make a realistic evaluation of just how difficult it might be for your page to rank, in comparison to the web pages already ranking well for a particular keyword opportunity. Do you have the right tools, assets, and strategy in place to compete?
- Is there really a better solution for applying a particular keyword?
I guess I might be asking the same questions in a different way. However the key is in the understanding of the right direction moving forward. It is better to make a recommendation for new content to be developed, than an attempt to squeeze an indirectly related keyword to an existing page.
- Has a benchmark already been established?
The final question is simply where or if the page or website currently ranks for the keyword opportunity. And in relation, how will improvement be defined and/or observed going forward (somewhat rhetorical).
Twelve questions to think about when performing keyword research for search engine optimization. The more effective the keyword research, the more likely one will achieve success with SEO initiatives over time. Did I miss something important? I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback, via the comments below.

Press release: Jan Satyagraha starts on its way to Delhi
The great march of landless people, Jan Satyagraha, started its way to Delhi today
[via Ekta Parishad] October 3, 2012- On October 3rd, poor and marginalized communities of India started their 350 km walk from Gwalior to Delhi to demand their rights to land and livelihood resources.
This morning, at 8 am, 50, 000 people, adivasis (tribals), dalits and other marginalized communities of India left the Mela Ground in Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) to start the Jan Satyagraha – March for Justice. On this first day, they covered 22 km, taking the national highway leading to Delhi. Some of the participants of Jan Satyagraha stayed back in order to clean the Mela Ground of Gwalior, where people had been gathering since the end of September in order to prepare for the march. In spite of the heat, all went well during this first day, and people are ready to take the road again. Tomorrow, they will cover a distance of 12 kilometres to reach Morena.
The Jan Satyagraha – March for Justice aims to give a voice to the poorest communities of India that are asking the right to live in dignity. The main demands of this huge non-violent action, directly inspired by Gandhi, are a new land reform policy which would guarantee access to land and livelihood resources, and a law establishing the right to shelter. As negotiations with the government were intense during the last 2 weeks, the march was about to succeed even before its departure. Unfortunately, the proposal of the government presented yesterday on the Mela Ground of Gwalior by the Minister of Rural Development M. Jairam Ramesh was too noncommittal in meeting the expectations of the marchers and the leadership of Jan Satyagraha. The march, they decided, was necessary to keep the pressure on the government.
Prepared over the course of four years by many Indian organizations, and led by the Gandhian leader P.V. Rajagopal of Ekta Parishad, the Jan Satyagraha is supported worldwide, and many non-violent actions (marches, forum, exhibitions, etc) are held in various countries in solidarity with the Indian marchers.
DATES and PLACES :
March Jan Satyagraha, October 2012, from Gwalior to Delhi, INDIA.
October 3rd, 2012 : March from Muradabad to Morena.

Pop superstar Michael Jackson died five years ago this week. (Rusty Kennedy / AP)
Michael Jackson died five years ago Wednesday. His music did not.
Jackson�s music continues to live on in ways it didn�t, in ways it couldn�t, when he was alive. His death freed his music and allowed it to be appreciated in ways it wasn�t in Jackson�s final years, when he was a tabloid curiosity whose personal baggage overwhelmed his entire artistic output.
Now it�s commonplace to hear �Don�t Stop Til You Get Enough� or �Billie Jean� as the warm-up music at any number of concerts, or �Rock With You� blaring out of a car passing by. In the years leading up to his death, Jackson�s music was appreciated but seldom heard in the public square, as his persona and allegations of child molestation hung over him and sullied his reputation � and his music. This presented a problem: How would younger generations ever understand Jackson and his talent, and would they be able to separate the music from the tabloid caricature he�d become?
But when he died, in the early afternoon of June 25, 2009, many of Jackson�s eccentricities were forgiven or forgotten, and people gravitated once again to his amazing body of music. The drama that surrounded his life hasn�t slowed in his death, through the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray � he was sentenced to prison for four years for involuntary manslaughter and was released last October � and in the Jackson family�s lawsuits over his death. The music, however, drowns it out and can once again be the singer�s ultimate legacy.
That legacy continues to grow. A new album of Jackson�s music, �Xscape,� was released last month, debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. Songs were assembled from odds and ends left over by the singer and cobbled together by a team of producers, including Timbaland. It has sold 309,000 copies to date, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and has been hanging around Billboard�s Top 10 since hitting stores.
The album is probably better than it has any right to be, and it contains exactly one great song: the airy, summery �Love Never Felt So Good,� a holdover from the �Thriller� sessions that glistens with a light R&B feel and a touch of the old MJ magic. Jackson�s vocals are clear, not inundated with vocal tics like so many of his later recordings, and the song reminds you what a pure singer he could be and how joyful his music was. It deserves to be a summertime hit.
When �Xscape� was released, SiriusXM launched an all-Michael Jackson channel to celebrate its arrival. The limited-run channel only lasted two weeks, but it deserved better play, as wall-to-wall MJ made for a surprisingly solid radio format. Some of his material hasn�t aged well � �Black or White,� and especially its intro skit, sounds dated � but the depth of Jackson�s hits and the strength of his deep cuts carried the channel.
When Jackson died, he was days away from kicking off a scheduled run of 50 shows at London�s O2 Arena. The prevailing wisdom at the time was that the shows would somehow end in disaster and that Jackson, rusty from years of not performing, wouldn�t be able to keep up with the show�s rigorous demands. It wasn�t until the behind-the-scenes documentary �Michael Jackson�s This Is It� was released months later that people were able to see that Jackson was on top of his game, meticulous as ever, right up until the end.
He was wrong in one aspect, however. �This� wasn�t it, not even close, and his contributions to music continue to live on.
The Motown Historical Museum will host a Michael Jackson impersonator in front of the museum from 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Wednesday. 2648 W. Grand Blvd., Detroit.
Los Angeles fans will gather at Jackson�s star on Hollywood�s Walk of Fame at 10 p.m. Wednesday to sing and light candles.

Boone County officials encourage public to call in for tips

He is calling the public to come forward with any information they know about open cases.
A year ago, Knight notice an increase in "shots fired" cases in Boone County.
Ten days ago, another police "shorts fired" report came.
through -- a man was shot dead in his home in Columbia.
"There is no magic wand out there we can wave in law enforcement and just get rid of violent crimes, these shots fired cases," Knight said.
Police can't be everywhere all the time and say the public can help be the eyes and ears of violent crime around Boone County.
The public calling local authorities can give police clues to solve cases, in extreme cases, the main evidence to bring an offender to justice.

CATEGORIES Drama, Casting, Scripts, The Weinstein Co., Oscar Watch, Oscars, CinematicalVariety reports that the desperate-for-a-hit Weinstein Company is close to signing Forest Whitaker to star in Patriots, a drama to be directed by Tim Story (Barbershop, The Fantastic Four). Whitaker will play "Al Collins, basketball coach for John Ehret High in Marrero, Louisiana, who led his Patriots to the state championship a year after Katrina ravaged the school and displaced many of its students." Collins' team was made up of ten players who had attended five different schools prior to Katrina. I smell Oscars, baby! This is the first film to set a start date as a result of the WGA's deal with The Weinstein Company. Robert Eisele (writer of The Great Debaters, which also starred Whitaker) wrote the script for Patriots.
Says Story, "I've gotten caught up with the Fantastic Four films but wanted to find a smaller film with heart, that brought me back to Barbershop, and this has come together with one of the best actors out there. What Coach Collins did to give back the lives of his players is so inspiring." It does sound like an inspiring story, and with its post-Katrina setting, it's bound to be moving. But Hollywood, you listen to me and you listen good. I need you to take a year off from the inspirational sports movies set against a backdrop of racism, adversity, etc. Just one year, that's all I ask. I can't take it anymore. I like these movies. The formula works. I love Forest Whitaker. But this is enough. They're all basically the same. And Great Debaters? You count too. Simply substituting debate for basketball or football doesn't disguise you. You're one of them, too. And this is enough.

Did you hear it—that faint rustling sound issuing from nowhere in particular? That was the sound of Lupe Fiasco fans worldwide raising a collective eyebrow upon learning that the Chi-town rhymesayer was following up lyrical, politically-charged album lead single Around My Way with a record called "B*tch Bad." While I, too, was surprised upon peeping that title, I had an inkling there was more to the cut than met the eye—after all, this is Lupe we're talking about. Sure enough, the Chi-town vet has a little something up his a sleeve; specifically, a parable designed to make us think about the way hip-hop vernacular affects yet-unformed minds. Over The Audibles' production, a synth-driven arrangement that allows the lyrics to take the center stage, Fiasco tells the stories of a young boy who hears his own mother singing along to records which transform the word "b*tch" into a mark of pride, and a girl driven to style herself after the women in rap videos. Having internalized contradictory images of the feminine ideal, the two find themselves unable to relate when they cross paths as adults. Topped off with outro vocals from frequent collaborator MDMA, this jam is guaranteed to spark interesting conversations—but is the music as compelling as the message? If you're feeling it, stay tuned for further song releases leading up to the Sept. 25, arrival of Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album (Pt. 1).

Two years ago, when the debate around Lasers was raging harder than an ASU keg party, I repeatedly heard the argument that, "If this was an album from anyone but Lupe Fiasco you'd think it was great." But that was...
