Casino games: They're about revenues, not jobs
The first casino bill to make its way in the Legislature this year is House Bill 665, introduced by Rep. Edmond Gionet, R-Lincoln. It would allow the creation of two casinos, "one in the White Mountains and one in a county bordering Massachusetts." Gionet says his bill is all about job-creation.
"This is not a budget bill, and I don't intend it to be one. It's a jobs bill."
No, it's a budget bill. Last year the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies issued a report on expanded gambling in the state. Based on data from other casinos, it estimated that a $500 million destination resort casino in New Hampshire would employ 2,400 people. For some perspective, Elliot Hospital in Manchester employs about 2,800 people.
Casinos would employ a few thousand people, but the direct economic impact would be concentrated in the immediate community. What about the rest of the state? Rep. Gionet says "We've got highways and bridges in really bad shape, and some folks want surcharges on registrations and a gas tax increase to fund that. I don't think so."
The statewide economic impact would come through the use of casino revenues on highway repair and construction. So it is a budget bill after all, not a jobs bill.
Make no mistake, if casinos are allowed in New Hampshire, some jobs would come with them. However, even more jobs would come from reforming our business taxes in ways that encourage more start-ups and relocations. Fidelity Investments' Merrimack campus employs about 5,300 people, more than would be employed by both of Rep. Gionet's casinos combined. When Fidelity closed its Marlborough, Mass., offices last year, it moved those jobs to Merrimack. If New Hampshire concentrated on recruiting more facilities like that, and on making the conditions better for entrepreneurs, we would be far better off than if we pursued a few casinos.
The real reason politicians want casinos is so they can take half of the gaming revenues, vs 8.5 percent of any other business's profits. It's about money, not jobs.

iPad (2012) Review from a Guy who's Never Owned One Before
My personal blog - shoot&scribe
So the iPad is available now. (By the way, it's not called the 'new' iPad, simply iPad.)
There are basically only three major alterations to this model compared to the last:
- The screen
- The cameras
- The battery
There are also miscellaneous changes that I will consider, but they shouldn't be decisive in impacting on whether you decide to buy one or not.
So read on for my (semi) full review.
I. That Screen
The iPad doubled its screen resolution from 1024 x 768 on the iPad 2, to now being 2048 x 1536. With this, it quadrupled the number of pixels from 786,432 to 3,145,728 pixels. This results in an increase from 132 ppi (pixels per inch) to 264 pp.
Do you necessarily care/understand this? Probably yes. But you hate looking at numbers, don't you? So Apple's marketing gurus simplify all of this and just dub the screen as having a 'Retina Display'. Which is super advertising. What was otherwise somewhat of menial consideration (the screen resolution, that is) is now something that is spoken about every time. There is a movement away from statements like "That screen looks sweet" to "Is that a Retina Display? It's not? Well then it sucks". And this is somewhat of a placebo effect as well - there is an expectation that the screen should be beautiful so you automatically are tuned to believe that it is.
In any case, is the screen amazing? Yep. Probably enough alone to make you want to buy the new iPad.
II. The Cameras
The sensor for the iPad is now 5 megapixels, similar to that of the iPhone 4 released in 2010. Why, in 2012, Apple introduces a camera that was introduced in 2010, and not the one in 2011 (the 8 megapixel sensor in the iPhone 4S)? I don't know. Perhaps to maintain its profit margin. But do you need that 8mp sensor? Probably not. The camera on the new iPad is good - check out the tester photos I took. It produces quite decent macro shots, deals relatively well with low-light and takes in enough detail in landscape shots. Do you need more from a tablet? (The answer is no.)
The rear-facing camera also improves from last year's iPad in terms of video recording, improving from 720p to 1080p recording.
So are the videos better? A little bit.Front-facing camera
This is where I am pissed off. Whilst every other review emphasises the improvement of the rear sensor, the front-facing camera is brushed aside even though it remains the same. Some argue that the reason for keeping it the same is so that there is no lag in video calling (otherwise dubbed FaceTime by Apple). But this is bullshit. Firstly, FaceTime is only available over Wi-Fi (a problem in and of itself - in America, there is 4G on the new iPad, a network which sometimes produces speeds better than some people's home broadband). Given that it is only available over Wi-Fi, there won't be such a lag in video output. And Apple knows this - they did, after all, improve the sensor in the Macbook Air, Macbook Pro and their Cinema Display to 1.3 megapixels for video chat. Why not for the iPad? I see no reason not to.
Further, a fun app is Photo Booth. And this is basically only used via the front-camera.
If so, shouldn't the sensor be at least semi-decent? Yes. Yes, it should.
III. The Battery
This is something of a boring area, but it is as important, if not more important, than any other development in the new iPad. The iPad still maintains 10 hours of charge over Wi-Fi, and 9 hours over 4G. This basically equates to roughly half-a-week to a full-week of usage without having to charge. And this is amazing. I'm certain, at least in America, that 4G was not introduced in the iPhone 4S because of battery issues. Android devices are notorious for having the capability of running on a 4G network. But they are also notorious for holding a charge for only a few hours. And this doesn't equate to 'usage' for a consumer. What's a feature worth if I can't even turn the device on?
It's even more remarkable given the fact that the new iPad now has to power through four-times the number of pixels compared to last year's iPad.
IV. MiscellaneousSize of Apps
The size of apps (in terms of the amount they will occupy with respect to the capacity [16, 32 or 64 GB] you purchase) will jump as they begin to optimise to display icons, pictures and graphics to align with the Retina Display. At the moment, there is a slow rollout of apps that are optimised for the increased screen resolution. And those that haven't been optimised look really shit on the new screen. Lets hope for a quick rollout so that we don't have to put our eyes through the pain of seeing pixels. My eyes!
A related point to above, you should probably get the 32 GB if you had initially planned to get the 16 GB. This is especially the case if you plan to hold all of your music library on the iPad. As more and more apps begin to be upgraded, you will find that you will have less and less space on the iPad. And it sucks to have to pick-and-choose which apps to keep and which apps to get rid of in order to stay within the gambit of your capacity.Graphics
Graphics have improved. So games will move along smoother. And the types of graphic-intensive games available on the iPad will improve. Cool, ey?Choosing White
The white model of any Apple device (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) looks wonderful. But just be aware that there is a 'gap' between the display and the white frame. Put in other words, what you see is: screen -> black border -> white frame.
There is a glitch on iOS 5.1 when you split the keyboard in the Search screen. I'm sure this will be gotten rid of with iOS 5.2.
There is no HDR in the iPad photo app, unlike in the Photo app on the iPhone. I don't know why this is the case. I guess even Apple thinks you shouldn't be using your iPad as your go-to device in public to take photos because you will look like a complete tosser.Future Apps
With the improvement of the sensor of the iPad, will camera app developers begin to make iPad-optimised apps? Here's looking at you Instagram and Camera+.
In conclusion, this is an amazing device. Let me foreshadow what tech blogs will say as Android and Android hardware manufacturers begin to introduce tablets aiming to compete with this device:
- It's shit, so buy the iPad;
- It's good but not as good as the iPad, so buy the iPad.
So for me, if you are in the market for a tablet, buy an iPad. Don't wait for alternatives that may be better. They won't be.
In terms of should you upgrade, I'm not that sure. This is the first iPad I have owned. But my brother has an iPad 2. And after playing on my new iPad, and then playing on his, I pity him. The pixels... the pixels!! So be cool - buy the new iPad (if you've got the money - which you would have if you were smart enough to sell your iPad 2 prior to the announcement of this new iPad... but here we are).
Note: 4G/LTE is not available in Australia, where I have written this.
I'd like to hear your thoughts so leave your comments below!

This 1954 release is a snapshot of traditional Norwegian folk music. The record begins with a traditional dance song that dates back to a time when dance music was not accompanied by non-vocal instruments. The fifteen songs on this release aim to cover as much folk music history as is possible: from children's lullabies to songs commemorating religious rituals and weddings. This release, and its accompanying liner notes, gives an excellent introduction to Norwegian folk music and folk life in general.

Sup peeps?
I'm not trying to "stir" the pot here as much as I'm trying to understand the comparison here between two prospects that have seemingly similar careers. Here's Baseball Prospectus' breakdown from September 2012 on Brandon Wood, once promising young superstar:
"Moving up to full season ball in 2004, Wood was solid but not spectacular. He struggled to make consistent contact, and was showing a propensity to chase balls out of the zone. The environments of the Midwest league often depressed the game power, but you could tell Wood had something special in that bat; his hands were extremely fast and strong, and he could generate tremendous bat speed. With deep hands in the load, Wood brought leverage to the table that could launch a bowling ball over a mountain, and his tape measure shots in batting practice tickled all the ticklish parts of the scouts in attendance. Despite the swing-and-miss that remained in his game, the 19-year-old more than held his own in a difficult full season league; with the friendlier confines of the California League awaiting him in 2005, an offensive breakout was entirely possible.
What happened in 2005 would change the way we view Brandon Wood the prospect and the player forever, as the predicted breakout turned into a violent explosion of offensive potential so intense that many national prognosticators named their first-born after him. In 130 games in the hitter-friendly California League, Wood hit 43 bombs, many of which still haven't landed. His overall ability to make contact had improved, and if you were a pitcher without a major league fastball, Wood was going to emasculate you in front of your teammates, coaches, parents, friends, and pets. He topped off his seasonal chef-d'oeuvre by hitting 14 in the Arizona Fall League, and based on the positive chatter at the time, Wood could have run for public office and won in a landslide. The numbers looked great, but the swing-and-miss was a growing pachyderm for some; others simply suggested that high strikeout totals would always be a big part of his game, and as long as the power continued to play, everything would be fine and the world was wonderful and Brandon Wood was a hero and power is sexy.
Double-A would be a big test for the big hitter with the big swing, and sure enough, the big miss in that big swing was asking for more of the spotlight. In over 500 plate appearances, Wood whiffed an alarming 149 times against Texas League pitching, and the concerns over his offensive deficiencies were mounting. He was still able to show off his pop, with 71 extra base hits, including 25 fence rips, which continued to be a wall of defense against his weaknesses and allowed his prospect status to remain prominently displayed on the prospect landscape. The book on Wood in 2006 still had a happy ending, although the narrative was a bit optimistic for some; those that watched Wood struggle against off-speed pitches or quality velocity above the hands saw a hitter that wouldn't be able to replicate his minor league heroics against major league pitching. His value was still very high, as his defensive skill set could keep him at shortstop, although his tools on that side of the ball weren't exceptional and his profile had more quality at the hot corner. When he did make contact, the ball still exploded off his bat, and if you made a mistake or showed up to the ballpark with weak stuff, Wood was likely to make you remember the experience for a long time."
I did my best to highlight the most important parts of the article, and I thought they really did stand out as something that relates strongly to Baez's current approach and how he goes about hitting the ball.
Brandon Wood's 2004-2006 Stats:
2004: 19 Years Old, Low A Midwest League: 535 PA, 117 SO (21.9% K/PA), 46 BB (8.6% BB/PA)
2005: 20 Years Old, High A California League: 595 PA, 128 SO (21.5% K/PA), 48 BB (8.1% BB/PA)
2006: 21 Years Old, Double A Texas League: 522 PA, 149 SO (28.5% K/PA), 54 BB (10.3% BB/PA)
Javier Baez's 2012-2013 Stats:
2012: 19 Years Old, Low A Midwest League: 235 PA, 48 SO (20.4% K/PA), 9 BB (3.8% BB/PA)
2012: 19 Years Old, High A Florida League: 86 PA, 21 SO (24.4% K/PA), 5 BB (5.8% BB/PA)
2013: 20 Years Old, High A Florida League: 337 PA, 78 SO (23.1% K/PA), 21 BB (6.2% BB/PA)
2013: 20 Years Old, Double A Southern League: 240 PA, 69 SO (28.8% K/PA), 19 BB (7.9% BB/PA)
Now, I don't want to incite anything here, or light any fires here. I am personally split on Baez. However, many times when someone asks about Brandon Wood, they say "the numbers were blinding and people didn't scout him."
I believe that these K-rates are important, and I think that it's important to note that Baez did player in worse leagues. On the other hand, Wood's walking ability far surpasses that of Baez, where Baez's best experiences wouldn't have eclipsed the lowest walk totals for Wood.When considering counting stats, Baez has a career line of .286/.342/.562, where Wood put up a line of .285/.354/.547 in 2004-2006. Their OPS's are a creepy 0.003 off (Baez: .903, Wood: .900). Here are some more numbers for a better understanding:
Counting Stats:
Baez Low A: 235 PA, 12 HR, 20 SB (19.58 PA/HR, 11.75 PA/SB)
Baez High A: 423 PA, 21 HR, 16 SB (20.14 PA/HR, 26.44 PA/SB)
Baez Double A: 240 PA, 20 HR, 8 SB (12 PA/HR, 30 PA/SB)
Wood Low A: 535 PA, 11 HR, 21 SB (48.64 PA/HR, 25.48 PA/SB)
Wood High A: 595 PA, 43 HR, 7 SB (13.84 PA/HR, 85 PA/SB)
Wood Double A: 522 PA, 25 HR, 19 SB (20.88 PA/HR, 27.47 PA/SB)
Clearly Baez presents a strong counting stat edge here, especially with prolific HR totals in small at bats. The one thing to note is that Baez didn't spend a ton of time in any one league. Therefore, pitchers may not have adapted quickly enough to capitalize on his swing mechanics, and perhaps he held the advantage over the last two years by not needing to adjust to a pitcher, because the pitchers never had a chance to adjust to him. This could be something that would cause a future prolonged cold streak in the future if he has to take the time to figure out how to counter pitchers' adjustments. Otherwise, I maintain that I think that their scouting reports are eerily similar, and that they both put up some pretty nifty stats at a relatively young age in the low to mid minors. I'm not calling Baez a future bust here, but I do want to question the understanding of how we go about prospecting and learning from our mistakes.
After reading up on many of the things that people say about Brandon Wood, and how he collapsed when he couldn't play in hitters leagues, I wonder if the same thing will happen when Baez moves up from the minor leagues to the big leagues. I think the PCL could be toxic for him, provoking him to try to smash every ball out of the park. I don't have any skin in this game, as I'm not related to the Cubs and don't necessarily have anything but pity for them (Go Cards!), but I am just curious in this case. Everyone refers to how we can always reevaluate the players that we evaluated long ago, and begin to understand why they failed. Well, I have come to believe that perhaps this insanely high strikeout rate, even when attached to a player with large amounts of "bat speed" and "quick wrists" can end up causing serious future problems.
I'd enjoy everyone to weigh in, perhaps in a constructive and discussionary manner in order to fester some conversation on this topic, as I've seen it scattered throughout the site without one "hub" for it. I figured, organizing my ideas in a fanpost would best suit the community and giving detailed background as to why I thought they might be very similar is probably the best way to go about this.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 0.5% and the S&P 500 gained 0.4% but the Nasdaq was little changed.
Volume was expected to be very high as the NYSE, Nasdaq and other markets execute their first trades after two unscheduled days in the dark. But with many Wall Street professionals away from their desks, the number of shares changing hands early Wednesday was relatively low .
"There is some pent-up demand to trade after being closed for two days, which can seem like an eternity," said Art Hogan, managing director at Lazard Capital Markets. "But you have to balance that with the fact that many folks are still not able to get back to work."
A few traders returned early Wednesday to the New York Stock Exchange in Lower Manhattan, where some of the worst flooding occurred, said Teddy Weisberg, president of Seaport Securities.
Speaking from the corner of Wall Street and Broad Street, Weisberg said the power was still out and phone service was spotty. The smell of diesel fuel was in the air from all the pumps crews were using to drain water from surrounding buildings, he added.
In a symbolic gesture, New York mayor Michael Bloomberg rang the opening bell.
"We're all systems go," said David Rovelli, managing director of U.S. equity trading at Canaccord Adams, who battled traffic to get to his office in mid-town Manhattan.
Rovelli said trading in certain stocks could be volatile as institutional investors close their books, but he expects volumes to be light. "A day like today you just sit on your hands," he said.
Trading could be choppy as many mutual funds and hedge funds close their books for the year. Wednesday marks the end of the month and is the final day of the fiscal year for many large institutional investors.
It's a day when many mutual fund managers will try to offset their capital gains with their losses to minimize distributions paid out to shareholders. However, some fund managers may have done much of their selling last week in anticipation of the storm."This was a pretty well advertised storm," said Hogan. "I think some of that work of closing the books might have been done last week.

Yellow Lumia 800/900
(via micronokiadev.files.wordpress.com)
I was just passing through the internet randomly when I saw this. Here, the covers of Lumia 710 are more than just coincidentally similar to the builds of its bigger brethren. The red, blue and black are matte. And the white cover is glossy just like recently announced white Lumia 800.
But a yellow Lumia 800/900 is not announced. Here, yellow cover for 710 exists and it is glossy! I just think it means yellow is on the way and it will be glossy too. Maybe it was just a little late or that Nokia is rushing from the usual manufacturing process to get some models out there first before the others. Or maybe glossy polycarbonate took more time to figure out.
Either way, seeing the consistency so far, I fully expect a yellow 800/900 in the future. Whatsay?

Here's a preview and behind the scenes featurette of Lifetime's new series The Client List, which co-stars Naturi Naughton and Loretta Devine as "sexy" worker and the owner respectively, of massage parlor "The Rub."
Yesterday, I posted THIS interview in which Naughton talks about her character, moral dilemma and the series in more detail. The Client List, based on Lifetime's 2010 Original movie of the same name, stars Jennifer Love Hewitt.
As I said previously, I'm curious and will try to catch its premiere this Sunday, April 8th at 10/9pm Central on the Lifetime network.
Check out the series preview and behind the scenes featurette below.

This is an embarrassment to an industry, which should pride itâs self on televising material that is more enlightening, inspiring and thought provoking. If you could reach hundred of thousands of people what story would you tell? How would you do a due diligence to your fellow human being? Sadly this industry is blinded by the false perception that sex sells. Indeed it does, but our society will not embrace flat-out immorality. It needs to be wooed, seduced. It must be real, feel real. I believe telling the real story of sex workers will probably lend greater ratings as well as educated people of the dangers. Cut out the lies the fairy tales, the veil of glamor. This is disgusting itâs like watching someone do drugs everyday and come home to friends and family as if all is well. The writerâs suck they give no complexity to the characters and as some have already mentioned itâs really just a big joke, and the punch line is the young girls/women who watch this will believe that this is how it really is. That sleeping with countless men for money will leave you healthy, beautiful, admired and loved by your friends and family. Letâs all laugh, how hilarious.

Watched the show - much ado about nothing... so far. No sex scenes at all. Actually no sex period - if these women are doing anything it's probably only with their hands. And only some of the girls do "extras," most of them don't. Naturi isn't the little sex kitten nymphette. The blonde chick is. And good old Loretta does not play sexy - she plays a business woman. A nice, understanding, yet firm business owner. She doesn't "handle" clients - just books them. Looks like they're setting it up so JLH is more a sex therapist who talks to clients than actually does anything... similar themes of Ghost Whisperer except putting husbands back together with wives. Basically, a story written about women for women. Men would be completely bored with this show. Women would stick around for the bare rippling chests of hot guys whose "modesty" is completely protected and not even hinted at. Southern accents are terrible.
CareyCarey | April 6, 2012 7:10 PM
I can't be the only one who believes "Lorretta Devine-Sexy" is a horrible misnomer? And who told Jennifer Love Hewitt that she was sexy? I mean, who's the target audience for this ten toes up and ten toes down? Hell, call it what they want, Clients list or Tricks List or Ho's On The Side, I don't care what they say, skin touching skin going in and out... that's FUCKIN', that's what the story is all about.

News: Jay-Z & Robin Thicke's "Me I Play" Collabo Uncovered
Thursday, Oct 29, 2009 11:10AM
A clip of Jay-Z and Robin Thicke's new collaboration "Meiple (Me I Play)" from Thicke's upcoming Sex Therapy album has landed online.
The snippet shows Hov making a playful reference to his wife, Beyonce.
Just last week Robin Thicke tweeted that he was in the lab with Jay-Z and now we have a snippet of their joint effort. "Meiple (Me I Play)" features a rap from Hov, who surprisingly name-checks his black Brigitte Bardot wife Beyonce. Ooh la la! The song, along with collabos with Snoop Dogg, Estelle, Kid Cudi and Jazmine Sullivan, can be found on Thicke's new album Sex Therapy, due December 8. (Rap-Up)
While details were initially scarce, Thicke confirmed the forthcoming joint record via Twitter last Friday (October 23).
"In the studio today with Jay Z...," Thicke wrote. "His Hovieness!! So excited!! He's jumping on one of my records for my sex therapy album. Wish me luck!! RT" (Robin Thicke's Twitter)
Following-up 2008's Something Else, the singer also touched on the inspiration behind Sex Therapy.
"It's in the tradition of Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing,'' Thicke said. "No matter where you're at -- whether you're just starting a relationship or if you've been in a relationship a long time, a little sex therapy is a good thing." (Miami Herald)
The teaser music video clip for Hov's "Empire State of Mind" also landed online this week.
A music video for Jay-Z's single "Empire State of Mind" has been clipped. The snippet arrives in black-and-white scenes, featuring the rap mogul performing alongside his collaborator Alicia Keys. As Alicia sings lines "New York, New York", NYC city view during the night is flashed. (Ace Showbiz)

Condensed Matter Physics Seminar
Hard-sphere fluid with tight-binding electronic interactions
John P. HernandezDepartment of Physics and AstronomyUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
In fluids which become metallic as their density is increased, the electron-ion interaction induces correlations among the atomic positions, not describable with a pair potential, which are crucial for understanding a spectrum of the system properties. Motivated by experimental results on the alkali-atom fluids, we have examined the influence of such interactions, using Monte Carlo simulations, on the structural, thermodynamic, and electronic properties of a simple monovalent-atom fluid model, with atomic hard-sphere repulsions and electron hopping which plays the central role by providing the only system cohesion. The model, techniques, and results will be discussed.

Every year for the past 3 years I've tried to do this. I think you need to write something like 1666 words a day to keep up with it all though so as you can guess I'm lucky if I make it past the first week.
I still like the idea though so I've decided rather than go for the 50,000 word limit I'll just write what I can. The one thing I need to do is write at least once per day. It doesnt matter if I only write one sentence as long as I write.
If your lucky, or should that be unlucky, you'll get to read what I come up with one day but we'll leave it at that

Calvert, St. Mary's and Charles County

Charles Seeks State, Federal Transportation Funds
La Plata, MD - 1/23/2013
By Marty Madden
The Charles County Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday, Jan. 22 to request funding from the Maryland Department of Transportation's (MDOT) Maryland Transit Administration. The commissioners approved the annual transportation plan grant application as presented by the Department of Community Services and authorized Commissioners' President Candace Quinn Kelly [D] to file a grant application with MDOT for funds from the Federal Transit Act.
According to Jeffry Barnett, the department's chief of Transportation and Community Programs, the money will be used for expanding the operation of the county's transit service and pay for planned capital projects. Barnett stated the operational assistance may cover approximately 50 percent of the net costs while the capital assistance covers 90 percent of the costs with state and federal funds.
The request for $2.64 million in operation assistance represents an increase in federal funds based on population increases in the Waldorf/St. Charles area. Barnett stated increased funding is needed to accommodate residents needing a lift to a new dialysis center in White Plains and transport more locals to the Waldorf Senior Center.
According to Barnett, 12 seniors are on a waiting list for daily transport to the Waldorf facility. Kelly asked if it wasn't possible to expedite that process. "Twelve people is not a lot," said Kelly, who asked the department staff to find a way to get the dozen seniors transportation before the end of the current fiscal year.
In addition to operation money, Charles County is requesting $627,287 in funding for capital projects related to transportation, specifically capitalized preventive maintenance, improvements to the U.S. Route 301 Park and Ride, the second phase of a VanGO maintenance facility feasibility study and replacement of two para-transit buses. One component of the Park and Ride improvement project would be the addition of security cameras at the entrance and exit.
Charles County plans to file jointly with Prince George's County for $842,770 in grant funding over two years from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Jobs Access Reverse Commute (JARC) program. The program under the auspices of the Federal Transit Administration is aimed at transporting low income and disabled citizens to jobs. Barnett explained that $84,820 would be used for VanGO operations, $606,360 would be dedicated to fixed bus route operations and $151,590 would be available to address bus demand operations. A new fixed route service—connecting bus riders to Clinton to Brandywine Crossing to Mattawoman-Beantown Road—would be added. The additional funds would help establish new VanGO service between Waldorf and Brandywine Crossing on evenings and Saturdays when the bus doesn't run. Charles and Prince George's counties will be required to provide a 50 percent match for the federal funds each receives.
The county is also required to comply with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in order to procure the funds. In addition to a resolution, County Attorney Barbara L. Holtz reviewed the request. Her opinion letter was submitted along with the resolution and other application paperwork.
Barnett said the county should know by April if the JARC funding has been approved.

Non-Medicine Treatments for Itchy EyesItchy eyes can often be treated without the use of medicines. This involves the use of cold compresses placed on the eyes, such as with an ice pack wrapped in a soft towel, and placed over the closed eyes. This technique will often bring relief to itchy eyes within a few minutes, and can be repeated as often as necessary.
The use of artificial tears eye drops can also be another effective way to treat eye allergies without the use of medicines. These are available over the counter, and serve to lubricate the eye. Artificial tears can also serve to wash away allergens that may be present in the eyes, such as pollen or animal dander. When artificial tears are stored in the refrigerator, and placed in the eyes when they are cold, this causes an immediate decongestant effect within the eye, and can be even more soothing.
Medicated Eye Drops for Itchy EyesThere are a number of medicated eye drops available for the treatment of itchy eyes associated with eye allergy, in both over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription forms. Many of the OTC eye drops are nearly as good as the prescription versions (especially ketotifen), although prolonged use of use of antihistamine-decongestant eye drops (such as Opcon-A, Naphcon-A and many Visine products) should be avoided, given the concern for conjunctivitis medicamentosa with long term use.
Learn more about the use of OTC Eye Drops and Prescription Eye Drops for the treatment of Itchy Eyes.
Other Treatments for Itchy EyesThe use of oral antihistamines can be very effective for the treatment of itchy eyes associated with eye allergy. Many of the newer, less sedating versions are also available over the counter (OTC) and often in generic forms, including Claritin (loratadine), Zyrtec (cetirizine) and Allegra (fexofenadine). Xyzal (levocetirizine) and Clarinex (desloratadine) are available in prescription form, but may not add much benefit over the OTC versions. Older, more sedating versions (such as Benadryl) may be useful as well, but probably should not be used long term given their side effects.
Find out all you ever wanted to know about oral antihistamines.
Allergy nasal sprays have also been shown to be beneficial for the treatment of itchy eyes associated with eye allergy, but probably would not be the best choice if itchy eyes were the main symptom. Nasal steroid sprays and nasal antihistamine sprays are both available only by prescription, in many brands and generic versions.

Bill to protect service dogs awaiting senate vote
When a Seeing Eye dog is attacked, a blind person could go from briskly maneuvering sidewalks to being bound to a walking stick, losing their freedom and mobility. Currently, dog-on-guide dog attack is not considered criminal, and a police response is not guaranteed.
With frustrations flaring, Seeing Eye dog activists are rallying to pass Dusty's Law, a piece of legislation that imposes criminal penalties on reckless dog owners whose dogs kill or injure service dogs and service dogs-in-training.
"The police right now can say, 'call animal control this is not a criminal act," said Roger Woodhour, who testified at the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee hearing on Dec. 6. "We want blind people to be able to call the police if they need to."
Dusty's Law, drafted by Assemblyman Robert Schroeder, would require police response and enforce criminal penalties when a dog attacks a service animal, noted Lisa Yakomin, Schroeder's chief of staff.
The legislation is named for Dusty, a German Shepherd puppy in guide-dog-training who suffered life-threatening lacerations to his head and neck after an attack by a pit-bull in Woodcliff Lake.
The pit-bull jumped on him, knocked his jaw into the ground and broke off four of his teeth, recalls Woodhour, Dusty's foster parent.
"All I could think about was how to get Dusty out of the jaws of the dog. Dusty was looking at me with pleading eyes, like a human," said Woodhour, recalling the attack that left Dusty "bleeding all over the place."
Internal and external stitches on 9-month-old Dusty's neck totaled 98.
He recovered in Park Ridge Animal Hospital, but faced lingering psychological trauma that forced him to leave Seeing Eye's guide dog program.
Days after the attack, the seeds of Dusty's Law were planted when Woodhour got a call from Schroeder's office. The two men met and began drafting the bill.
"The attack was incredibly emotional," remembers Woodhour, now an advocate for Seeing Eye dog safety, who lost a finger tip and suffered permanent nerve damage from the pit-bull attack.
Despite his injuries, Woodhour continued to raises puppies for the Seeing Eye guide dog training program, the oldest guide dog school in the world based in Morristown.
Involved in the program for more than 20 years, Woodhour is currently on his 28th puppy, a puppy that represents just one of thousands of guide dogs trained by Seeing Eye volunteers for visually-impaired throughout North America.
The non-profit that is to thank for this service also had representation at the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee hearing.
President and CEO of the Seeing Eye, Jim Kutsch attended with guide dog Colby.
According to Woodhour, seven puppies and seeing eye dogs accompanied their activist owners and trainers to the hearing of Dusty's Law.
"The little puppies were lying on the side snoozing away," said Woodhour, describing the scene where he testified that after an attack, traumatized dogs are often rendered unable to work, outlining his experience with Dusty.
When faced with an aggressive dog, guide dogs are not going to defend themselves, said Woodhour. "They are going to be a target."
They are trained not to respond to other dogs while they are guiding their handler and they are bred to have a docile nature.
After an attack, a guide dog may retire from service due to permanent physical injuries.
Their handler can be left to suffer emotional trauma, fear of a subsequent attack, and a loss of mobility, noted Woodhour.

The life of a minor league baseball player isn't always glamorous. There is a lot of bus time, roadside motels and catering tables serving up lunch meat and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

If summer baseball is a harbinger for the following spring's high school season, the forecast is bright for Dakota Ridge and Chatfield in 2015.
The Jeffco League rivals placed 1-2 at the AABC's Connie Mack 17-and-under state tournament at Cherokee Trail, with Dakota Ridge going unbeaten and prevailing 6-3 in the July 20 championship game, its second win over Chatfield, which suffered no other losses.
MORRISON — Kevin Moore's 1934 Super Gas Chevrolet is emblazoned with national event stickers. The 44-year-old Littleton resident might be a local, but he has carved out a national reputation since starting a Super Gas racing career in 1991.
Rows and rows of stickers adorn his race car. Some have been covered by newer ones as he runs out of room. But that's just a sign of how successful Moore has been on the drag racing circuit, which included a stop at this year's Mopar Mile-High Nationals at Bandimere Speedway from July 18-20.
MORRISON — Allen Johnson is still the king of the mountain.
The 35th annual NHRA Mopar Mile-High Nationals ended just like the previous two and five others since 2007 — with a Johnson victory in the Pro Stock division. The Greeneville, Tenn., driver toppled teammate Jed Coughlin Jr. in the rain-delayed final July 20 at Bandimere Speedway after Coughlin red-lighted the start. Even if Coughlin hadn't red-lighted, it would've been a tough task to beat Johnson in what has become his race to lose.

Business of Law
At Issue in Ethics Trial: Did Verrill Dana Try to Cover Up in $300K Partner Theft Matter?
Posted Dec 14, 2010 2:07 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
After hearing on June 13, 2007 that a secretary had blown the whistle on a longtime Verrill Dana senior partner, then-managing partner David Warren asked to see check copies, bank records and a spreadsheet and confronted his accused colleague, John Duncan, on June 28.
Duncan looked him the eye, Warren testified yesterday in a legal ethics hearing, and promised he'd never stolen from a client, recounts the Portland Press Herald.
And that story seemed plausible, Warren testified: The $77,500 in checks that Duncan had written to himself, as the conservator of an elderly woman's estate, represented money he had stolen from the firm, in legal fees that should have gone to Verrill Dana, rather than from the elderly woman herself,
Meanwhile, due to Duncan's seemingly fragile emotional state, Warren—who testified that his partner was an "emotional wreck" at this time—was worried that Duncan might commit suicide.
On July 9, the executive board of the well-known Maine firm met and agreed to let Duncan continue working at the firm. The next week he repaid the firm $77,500, the newspaper says.
And that might have been it, but for a secretary's aggressive whistle-blowing, says the Maine Board of Bar Overseers in a legal ethics complaint filed against Warren and five other firm lawyers who were members of Verrill Dana's executive board at the time Duncan's wrongdoing came to light.
Not until after secretary Ellie Rommel, who contends she was constructively discharged as a result of accusing Duncan, went to a lawyer who threatened on Oct. 5to bring a wrongful termination claim, did the firm investigate further, says the attorney disciplinary body.
But Warren says he asked the chair of the firm's trusts and estates department, on Oct. 2, to look into other matters Duncan had handled for possible wrongdoing. And he says the chair did find additional issues even before Rommel's lawyer got involved, the newspaper reports.
In either case, it wasn't until later than month that Verrill Dana brought in outside counsel and accountants to review Duncan's files. The review showed Duncan had stolen $109,000 from clients by writing checks to himself and another $187,500 by taking for himself attorney's fees payments that should have gone to the firm partners.
Duncan was fired in November 2007, as the review was bringing his further misconduct to light, and the firm reported him to the bar board and prosecutors once the review was complete, the Press Herald says. Verrill Dana also repaid clients in full, with interest.
However, "Duncan's misconduct would have remained hidden, covered up and never properly reported by any of the firm's board members as they were required to do," but for Rommel's potential claim, argues lead counsel J. Scott Davis in board filings.
The bar overseers contend that Verrill Dana should have immediately investigated and reported Duncan to the board as soon as his initial misconduct came to light in June.
Rommel is expected to be the star witness in today's testimony in Lewiston District Court before Justice Donald Alexander of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court. Her employment matter settled in 2008.
Duncan, who has been permanently disbarred, was convicted and served time concerning the thefts, as detailed in earlier ABAJournal.com posts. He reportedly may have been motivated by an irrational desire to save money.

And just like that, the Senate voted no on the controversial immigration bill.
Even worse, there were signals that the bill would not be revived again until 2008 – not coincidentally after the next round of elections.
This was a major blow to President Bush, who had made this a priority. In response, Bush said, "The American people understand the status quo is unacceptable when it comes to our immigration laws. A lot of us worked hard to see if we couldn't find common ground. It didn't work."
You can read some prior thoughts about immigration, the budget and the consequences of the bill here.
What do you think the next step for the Senate, House and President should be? Do you really think they'll wait until after 2011?

Based on the players available from WalterFootball.com in the various rounds, I put together a Texans mock with some players I haven't seen mocked to the Texans before. I am interested in how you think this would work for a Texans draft.
Round 1: Aaron Williams, CB/FS, Texas. I know, big shock, but listen to my reasons before slamming the pick. Others available include Aldon Smith, Prince, Kerrigan, Cameron Jordan, JJ Watt, and DaQuan Bowers. My reasoning is that one of the biggest needs for the Texans is safety. Neither of our starters, if you insist on calling them starters, will be returning. The team wants to move Quin to safety, but he is one of our better DB's. Williams gives flexibility and allows us to try both him and Quin at safety/DB and work out the best combo. Of course we could probably do the same with Prince, and that may be preferable, but Williams could be an option if we manage to trade back.
Round 2: Stephen Paea, NT. A lot of people (myself included) would be surprised if he fell this far, but if he is here I have to take him. This wouldnt be a surprise pick if he were here.
Round 3: Dontay Moch, OLB. I know most people here think he will be gone before this as well, but most boards seem to have him available at this level. He is very fast and obviously speed is very important at OLB, and so I agree that he is a value in this round. I will be very interested to see where he actually lands.
Round 4: Lawrence Wilson, OLB, U Conn. I think this is another unusual choice for the Texans. He is a 4 yr starter, 2 yrs All Big East, 2nd all time in tackles for Conn. Led the conf in tackles in 2010 with 123. Also had 3.5 sacks and 10.5 tfl. A little undersized at 6'1" 229.
Round 5: Cliff Matthews, DE So. Carolina. A "have you been sleeping with Rick Smith?" pick. 4 yr starter, defensive captain, played hurt (shoulder). hustle player, 6'4" 257 lbs. Actually played OLB as a freshman and was named to the all SEC freshman team at that position.
Round 6: Chris Rucker, CB/FS Mich State. The "and you call yourself a Texans fan??" pick. Yes, the same Chris Rucker who was arrested for assault along with 9 others from the Mich State squad, and then later was also arrested for DUI. Would probably go in the 4th round if it wasn't for that. Again this is a flexibility pick, but I would think he is more likely to make the team as FS rather than DB. Would you take a flyer on him in the 6th?
Round 7: Chas Henry, P, Fla. A popular pick for the Texans, but usually in round 5 or 6 as most people dont expect him to last until round 7. I wouldnt draft him earlier though because there are other punters I like who would likely be available if Henry was gone (Epperson and Long).
Mr. Irrelevant: Terrence McCrae, WR Ohio. Big fast receiver who didnt pile up big numbers due to being on a run oriented team. 6'3" 194lbs. Ran a 4.42 in the 40. Recorded 35 catches in 2010 for 505 yds, and included 9 TD's. Most of these were in the red zone where he outjumped the defenders.

Thirty-two-year-old Nichia Huff of Murrieta needs help for her son.
At 6 months old, Huff's son suffers from neurological problems, including seizures. Her husband is in the Army National Guard Recruiters, and Huff knows the family has access to a better care plan for their son. She just needed to make the connection.
Huff was among several Military families who turned out Wednesday evening at Murrieta Mesa High School for an inaugural Military Education Expo presented by the Murrieta Valley Unified School District's Military Support Advisory Committee.
There Huff was introduced to Cynthia Lopez, a case worker for the Exceptional Family Member Program, Marine Corps, a program that assists Military families with special needs.
"I wanted to come out so I could find out how to help my baby with special needs, and she can put me in touch with the right people," said Huff, who learned about the expo through the school district.
Lopez said she carries a caseload of at least 500 families in Riverside County, and said she would be able to point Huff in the right direction.
"A lot of the people on (Camp Pendleton) specifically move out here because of the good schools," Lopez said. "A significant number of my cases are in Temecula and Murrieta."
In addition to Lopez, a panel of several Military liaisons provided resources and programs families can utilize when they need help, such as when their spouse is deployed.
"Being a Military child is a challenge," said Devin Price, Project FOCUS site director at Naval Base San Diego. "It makes for very resilient children."
She encouraged parents and teachers to familiarize themselves with the stress created by deployment.
"It can affect learning," Price said. "Listening is the biggest tool a person can use."
Winchester resident Tony Gomes is a work and family life consultant at the Fleet and Family Support Center, Naval Base Coronado. He encouraged families to take advantage of the programs available, such as financial planning.
"It is no secret Southern California is an expensive place to live in," Gomes said.
Another organization on hand was Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County, which recently expanded to include the Inland Empire. The chapter recently received a grant to service this area—Military children especially, said Joy O'Campo on behalf of Big Brothers Big Sisters.
"We know there is a big need in Military families," O'Campo said.
Wednesday's event was an outreach meant to bridge the gaps those who live off base may experience.
"This was the first district-wide event," said Karen Parris, spokesperson for the Murrieta Valley Unified School District, who helped organize and publicize the expo.
"It is really good information for our families and we hope to make it a bigger event next year," Parris said. "We want all southwest Riverside County families to come and take advantage of these resources."
The Military Advisory Committee was approved by the school board last year, and now several Murrieta schools have school site Military support representatives.
Sharon Minton is a school site representative at Antelope Hills Elementary, and speaks from experience. Her husband is a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force, currently stationed at March Air Force Base in Moreno Valley. The couple's children, 7-year-old Luke and 9-year-old Emma, have moved three times in their short lives—most recently from Scott Air Force Base in Illinois.
Minton said the good schools in Murrieta were a draw when looking to rent a home near March AFB. In addition to her role as school site representative, Minton also volunteers as a key spouse mentor for her husband's squadron.
"When you have a limited time in a community, you can either sit at home or enjoy everything. We know we are only here for three years."

A Comparison between Traditional and Non-Traditional Market Researchby Al Pangan on Oct 29, 2012 • 9:28 am
Whether you're into social media monitoring or not, learning the difference between traditional and non-traditional research marketing can increase the chances of a successful campaign. Your intuition and good instincts have certainly played a role in knowing what your customers want. Unfortunately, your gut feelings about your customers' preferences and needs are not always on track. Failed or minimally successful marketing campaigns happen to every business professional.
You always want to improve and maximize your chances for a successful campaign. That's why market research is so important. You probably already know enough about market research to make your eyes glaze over. For instance market research involves analyzing and collecting information about what your customers—and potential customers—want and need.
This research can help you launch a service or product, redefine your brand or develop and advertising campaign. Understanding the basic market research term is great for business. However, market research, like your business, has changed a lot with the increase use of the Internet. That's why knowing the difference between traditional and non-traditional market research is also vital.
Market research consists of five basic methods. You have:
- Focus groups
- Surveys
- Observations
- Field trials
- Personal interviews
Each traditional method has its advantages. With a focus group, you hire a moderate to ask a group of people questions and lead a discussion about your product. You're able to glean more information than you would from observations because of the various discussions.
Surveys are simple, straightforward questionnaires from a sample population of your target audience. The larger your population sample, the better, more reliable results. The type of survey you choose depends on your budget. In-person surveys are the most expensive.
You conduct them in high traffic areas like shopping malls. You let people sample products and give instant feedback. Telephone surveys cost less money, but you run the risk of a low-to-moderate response rate because of consumer resistance. The least expensive are mail surveys. However, they generate a lower response rate than telephone surveys.
Non-traditional market research goes beyond the back office services. Typically, it offers real-time data in a way that traditional marketing does not. For example, ethnography provide a detailed look into your consumers' world using online conversations and video, among others. This method allows you to observe consumers in their typical setting without intruding.
Non-traditional market research includes online surveys. Non-traditional market research takes the research one step further. It provides you a greater flexibility to talk and gain insight than a focus group ever could. Online non-traditional market research includes:
- Blogs
- Micromedia Blogging
- Social Networking Sites
- Videos and Pictures captions
- Customer Experience Online surveys
- Bulletin boards
Bulletin boards and social networking sites give you a way to conduct research on sensitive topics, consumer behavior or brand issues more deeply than you could face-to-face.
Another non-traditional market method is using one or more tools like texting, in-store, blogging, group or online research. For example, you can use what's called at-shelf inspiration to find out customer behavior when they are deciding what product or brand to purchase.
Regardless if you intend to consider social media outsourcing or not, consider both types of market research. There's no reason you should pick traditional market research over non-traditional or vice versa. You can use them together to achieve your goal of finding about more about your target audience. You never want to limit yourself with market research because you want to reach your target audience and learn what their sentiments are.

Tips from the community could help to solve a case of car break-ins in a Greenbrier County community.
Lewisburg Police chief Tim Stover is asking for help from the public to find a person who was caught on a surveillance camera. Officers believe that this person may be responsible for a string a break-ins in the Rolling Hills subdivision. The person was breaking into cars and trucks on Mayapple Trail, Circle Drive, Wake Robin Train and other streets in the neighborhood.
The suspect is taking money from unlocked vehicles. In the surveillance video, you can see the person approach a Jeep Rubicon, check the door and move on when it is discovered to be locked. If you look closely, you can see the suspects shadow moving in the background later as the person moves around the neighborhood.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Lewisburg Police Department at 304-645-1626. As always police caution people to lock their cars at night to prevent crimes of opportunity like this.

Being the best league in the nation, I would hope that the Big 12 network/ ESPN would soon realize how terrible their broadcasting is and please take Bob Knight and Brent Musberger off the air. Their commentating is the absolute worst thing I have every listened to and I know many fans would be pleased to never hear them commentate a big 12 game again. Fans deserve to hear a better game than this and I think this is truly a disgrace to the Big 12.
Yours truly,

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Xcel Energy plans to capitalize on what could be a buyer's market for wind energy this year.
The Minneapolis-based utility has told regulators in Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas that it will look for up to 200 megawatts of wind power by April 1. The federal tax credit for wind production has been extended to next January.
Xcel regional vice president Laura McCarten tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press the utility could buy a wind farm outright or just purchase power from it. But McCarten says the utility is under no obligation to buy any wind power if it doesn't find the right deal. Xcel has no need for additional wind power until 2017 at the earliest.
Xcel needs to generate 30 percent of its electricity from renewable resources by 2020.

There are talks that TNA will be taking the tag team championship from Robbie E and Jessie Godderz soon. The feud involving Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards is supposed to take center stage, and the belts will more than likely be used in that program.
TNA had originally planned on giving Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards an immediate championship push, but management opted against taking the belts away from Robbie E and Jesse Godderz, so the American Wolves will be working with Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian instead.
Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels have grown to become highly entertaining role players on Impact Wrestling, but that could be coming to an end soon, as their contracts with TNA are expiring in April of 2014. Some believe that they could both become cost cutting casualties.
WWE conducted a poll, asking fans if they felt that Big E Langston would some day be a world heavyweight champion. Thus far, 70% of the voters feel that the current Intercontinental Champion will move up to the main event scene eventually.
After announcing the big return, WWE conducted a poll on their website to see who fans wanted Batista to work against when he gets back into professional wrestling. Randy Orton barely beat out Brock Lesnar by garnering a third of the votes.
WWE conducted a poll on their website and 97 percent of the fans voted that Chris Jericho was better than Triple H.
Wrestle-1, the new promotion founded by the Great Muta, is about to get an influx of talent from TNA for an upcoming live event in March. Austin Aries, Abyss, Bobby Roode, Brutus Magnus, Christopher Daniels, Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, Frankie Kazarian, Gail Kim, Madison Rayne and Samoa Joe have been confirmed for the trip.
Since Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian have wrestled all over the world, it makes sense for them to have friends overseas. Bad Influence is currently in Europe right now, and they decided to meet up with Prince Devitt for a couple of drinks.
"I never had anything but good experiences with Eric. He was always a straight shooter with us, especially with Bad Influence. He was a big supporter of our act and I could always go to him with ideas and get an honest response from him. So I hope that he comes back and does stuff, and if he doesn't, I'm sure that wherever he ends up, he's going to end up being successful. But personally, selfishly speaking, I had fun working with him and I hope that he gets a chance to come back and sort of, continue adding his two cents to our creative direction."
Former TNA knockout Traci Brooks and Frankie Kazarian recently celebrated their four year anniversary of their wedding.
Frankie Kazarian recently took to Twitter to let fans know that he feels that Bobby Heenan is the best all around performer in the history of professional wrestling.
Former Oakland Raiders tight end Todd Christensen passed away, so TNA star Frankie Kazarian decided to post a special message on Twitter about a player he remembered fondly from his childhood.
