Madison Heights fire crews say a white powder that fell out of an envelope is to blame for causing the Hazmat situation at a Michigan Department of Human Services building on Montpelier.
Video from the scene shows several trucks from the department setting up in the building's parking lot and fire fighters getting outfitted in the familiar white protective suits.
A worker inside opened an envelope and the power fell out. She washed her hands and called 911. Fire crews determined the material was not dangerous.

This is a yellow flag of caution that is raised at this time of year every year: Don't do anything at a Thursday night office holiday party that will come back to bite you when you show up for work on Friday morning.
This time The Creative Group, a personnel services firm that specializes in finding people jobs in fields such as marketing, advertising and design, has decided to pepper its good advice with a short list of some really, really stupid things that have been done at office Christmas parties.
First, the serious advice. Drink in moderation, because people tend to remember who was drunk and rowdy. It's OK to bring a spouse, but not a wacky date. Keep the salacious gossip to a minimum, because while it may be a party, it's still a company function. And, while taking photos, remember that it isn't OK to post an embarrassing picture of someone on Facebook.
Now here's the fun stuff. The Creative Group has heard of people who:
* Threw a co-worker into a lagoon.
* Dressed like a professional wrestler.
*Rode naked on a Ferris wheel.
* Drove a golf cart into a river.
* Brought, as a "date," a pet python.
Also, one person brought a collection of Tupperware containers so she could load up and sneak off with leftover food, and two people were fired after a dance competition turned into a fist fight.

You can find the version of your Firefox by going to "Help > About Firefox" in your toolbar where "File, Edit, View History" and so are. The number you want is just the first one.
First of you will need to access Firefox's hidden settings by typing the following into your address bar:
After agreeing to the warning we are presented with a page of advanced settings. The one we are looking to create is called extensions.checkCompatibility.X.0 (change X for your FF version), and unless you've done this before, it won't exist, so you will need to create it.

Under "Preference Name" enter:
extensions.checkCompatibility.X.0 (again change X to your version)
For "Enter Boolean Value" select "False".
Now restart Firefox, and the following warning should appear at the top of your Add-Ons page, this means that it has all worked according to plan:
You should now be able to re-enable your incompatible add-on from the same page.
Here's a quick step-by-step summary:

- Accept the warning
- Add a new preference by right-clicking and selecting New > Boolean
- Enter extensions.checkCompatibility.X.0 as the Boolean Name
- Select "False" for the boolean value
- Restart Firefox
- Visit the Add-On Manager to re-enable your add-ons
Your done, enjoy the add-ons that aint meant to work any more including the Google Toolbar!
FIFA 12 Review for Xbox 360/PS2/PS3/PC/Wii/PSP
FIFA 12 is designed by EA Sports, the brand of Electronic Arts that is responsible for creating and developing video games related to sports. NHL, NBA, NFL, NASCAR, etc. are some of the other famous games created by EA Sports. FIFA 12, a continuation of the FIFA series contains line-ups, transfers and other details based on the real-world happenings as per the 2011-2012 football season. The game features classic play, "Be a Pro" and "Be a Pro Goalkeeper", a new addition to the series.
FIFA 12 – Gameplay
For months after the release of FIFA 11, EA Sports had been pondering making changes to three major match mechanics – the engine of player impact, the new option of tactical defending and close control. Well, play FIFA 12 and you'll notice they were serious about it! The changes made to the defensive aspect of the game have made it harder than the versions before. Press the 'A' button to slide tackle in 12 and you might just see a red card hurled in your face! The game itself has been made more realistic and the fans in the stadiums look much better than they did over the years.
The players have been updated to their latest looks. Their movement is much more accurate, precise and life-like. The stats of the players are also pretty much accurate as per the start of the season. Transfers and rosters are also up to date.
FIFA 12 – Features
If you're playing alone, the career mode is the best feature of the game. You can take charge of any club you may wish to and lead them to glory. Each club has a set of objectives when it comes to league and cup competitions. You will have to achieve them or at least come close to it if you want to keep your job at the end of the season. The season will go on as it does in the real world, with fixtures of the league games being exactly the same as in the 2011-2012 calendar.
A couple of interesting features have been added to the career mode. Firstly, you can release comments in the in-game press and tell the media of what you think about your team or the team you are going to be facing in the near future. Secondly, your players will communicate with you if they are having any issues. Say you're the 'manager' of Milan and you keep Robinho on the bench as a substitute for either Pato or Ibra, he may request you to give him some more playing time. If you frustrate him with the lack of match time, he may warm you about handing in a transfer request. To keep him at the club and fill the role that he is employed for, you may have to start playing him more often and probably offer him a good contract with a high salary and bonuses for his goals and assists.
The "Be a Pro Goalkeeper" is a completely new feature in the FIFA series and has been found appealing to most fans. You can now control a goalkeeper, make saves and move in and out of the penalty area if you will. It's very much like "Be a Pro", except that you can be the keeper!
FIFA 12 is a cut above the rest of the previous versions of the game. The gameplay and measures taken to make it real has really paid off. After just four months of its release, it was reported to be highest selling game of all time. The tricks that can be performed and the increasing difficulty of defending have made it complex. The level of competition is much higher and a lapse in concentration is all it takes to concede a goal and pull your hair out! Real world commentators like Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend add to the action. Like Clive says, "Concentrate and consolidate"!

Mumbai: The Indian Paint Association's (IPA) three-day 22nd 'Indian paint conference and exhibition 2005, got under way at the Grand Hyatt, Mumbai.
Over a thousand delegates from 250 paint, raw material suppliers and allied industries from India and overseas are attending this event.
According to Jalaj Dani, convenor of the conference, told the press at a press briefing that this was largest ever delegation for the IPA conference. "The exhibition held in concurrent with the conference has attracted over 80 companies from all parts of the world," hae added.
PK Khanna, president, IPA said "The paint industry is probably the only sector in the country which has posted growth every year after liberalisation of the economy and we are confident that the sector will continue to grow in this decade."
The Rs6,000 crore Indian paint market is estimated to be around one million tonnes by volume, with 70 per cent comprising architectural paints and 30 per cent for industrial paints. In 2003-04, the paint industry grew by 12 per cent, though during the current financial year, growth slowed to around 9 per cent.
The recent price rise in crude oil has increased the industry's input costs for raw materials and containers. Raw material costs have increased between 15 per cent to 50 per cent, with petroleum solvents such as, mineral turpentine oil have increased by 35 per cent.
This increase in input costs has affected small scale paint manufacturers who have been unable to increase the prices of the finished products proportionately, thus affecting their margins.

With today's episode of the Lawyer2Lawyer podcast, we reach a milestone: our 250th episode and the end of our fifth year of weekly shows. This makes Lawyer2Lawyer the longest continually running legal podcast.
Our first show was on Aug. 31, 2005. Our guests for that first show were Michael S. Greco, then the newly installed president of the American Bar Association, and law professor (now dean) Erwin Chemerinsky. Over the years since, we've been fortunate to have a steady stream of fascinating guests, joining us from all over the world. Today's show features two long-time podcasters to talk about podcasting: Denise Howell, host of This Week in Law, and Struan Robertson, editor of Out-Law.com and Out-Law Radio.
We've also won several awards. By my tally, they include:
- Blawg Review Awards 2005: Best Legal Podcast.
- 2006 Blawggies: Best Legal Podcast.
- 2007 Blawggies: Best Legal Podcast.
- 2008 Blawggies: Best Legal Podcast.
- 2008 ABA Journal Blawg 100, Readers' Choice Award, Best Legal Podcast.
- 2009 ABA Journal Blawg 100 honoree.
- 2009 Blawggies: Best Legal Podcast.
I was fortunate from the start to partner with lawyer J. Craig Williams as a cohost. An ace litigator with a background in journalism, Craig is a master at asking the most challenging questions. Originally, the show was called Coast2Coast to reflect Craig's base in California and mine in Mass. We later changed the name to Lawyer2Lawyer to avoid confusion with a radio show and to reflect our increasingly international array of guests and listeners.
Although Craig and I cohost the program, the real brains and brawn behind the program rests with the highly talented people at the Legal Talk Network who produce the show. LTN is run by two long-time TV news professionals, Lu Ann Reeb and Scott Hess. Both worked for the CBS news outlet in Boston for many years. Our show is produced by Kate Kenney, who works tirelessly to line up guests, provide background research on topics, and script the outline for each show. Audio engineering is done by Mike Hochman, a radio professional who now attends New England School of Law. The distinctive voice that introduces the show is that of Gary Tanguay, well known in the Boston area as a TV sports anchor. My enormous thanks to all of them.
I sincerely want to thank the people who listen to the podcast. There are an average of 65,000 of you every month, from all over the world. All of us involved with the program appreciate the feedback you provide and comments you offer, not to mention the time you take to listen. Please feel free to let me know of any ideas you have for guests, topics or ways of improving the show.
Now on to number 251!

I think we as attorneys we have a special duty to advocate the constitutional rights of freedom of religion especially as it relates to the controversy regarding the Mosque in lower Manhattan. I am surprised that the freedom of religion is even a open discussion as it has been a fundamental rights and part of the origins of our nation.It would seem to attorneys with greater influence,bar associations,etc should take a more direct stance about this issue.How do you view this issue and what should be done?

On April 16, the Board of Trustees approved a $185.4 million operating budget for next year, a $4 million, or 2.3 percent, increase over the current budget. Tuition for Mercer's undergraduate programs will increase by 3.48 percent. Last year's increase for Macon undergraduate programs was 2.9 percent, compared with increases of 6.5 percent in 2008, 6.8 percent in 2007 and 7 percent in 2006. Tuition increases for graduate and professional programs range from 1 percent to 4.4 percent.
"We continue to hold our tuition increases to a level far below the historical trends for colleges and universities over the last decade," said President William D. Underwood. "The economic environment, while improving, still poses challenges for our students and their families. The University must remain sensitive to those challenges while finding innovative ways to continue delivering the high-quality programs and services that our students deserve and expect."
Meeting for the first time on Mercer's Cecil B. Day Graduate and Professional Campus in Atlanta, the board also approved a new undergraduate global health studies concentration in the College of Liberal Arts.
The program will address the health of global populations and communities through instruction, service and community-based research. It will provide graduates with the skills to analyze factors underlying domestic and international health challenges and to combine research and service experience with the ability to make difficult social choices, to devise solutions to individual and population-wide health problems, and to implement disease-prevention strategies.
"The Global Health Program should be extremely attractive to undergraduate students, and it speaks to some of the most important problems in our world," said Mercer Provost Wallace L. Daniel. "Interdisciplinary in its focus and appeal, the program ultimately will draw on faculty expertise in our schools of medicine and business, as well as the College of Liberal Arts."

He grew up in DeWitt. An award winning artist who captured the charm of small town life. John Bloom definitely had an eye on Iowa.
Bloom's artwork is displayed at the Central Community Historical Society and Museum in his hometown. An artist who never forgot how important DeWitt was to him. Simplicity was a hallmark of his art.
Bloom captures life down on the farm, had an award winning painting of his grandmother peeling potatoes. and included himself in a work titled After Church at Saint Jospeph Parish in town.
At city hall, there is a mural Bloom painted titled Shucking Corn. He did that in 1938, becoming the first artist in Iowa to paint a mural in his hometown.
In the 1930's, Bloom was a student of Grant Wood at the Stone City Art Colony in Iowa. Bloom won prizes for oils, black and white works, and woodcarving.
Now, Kathleern Seusy and Gena Schantz are doing research and intend to co-author a book about John Bloom. They started the research months ago. They say that he had a unique way of capturing the simple things in life. That, they think, is appealing in itself.

ESTERO: A federal judge has ordered 30 homes across the country be tested for Chinese drywall, to set a standard for all of the federal lawsuits surrounding the toxic material.
The first of the homes is right here in Southwest Florida.
There's buzzing and cutting and inspecting going on in every room of Winifred Gill's Estero home.
"I had no idea that I would be the first," said Gill.
"Before he rolls this out to thousands of homes, the court wanted to have a test to see how effective it was, and so Judge Fallon said, let's do it in 30," said Jerry Parker, attorney with Parker Waichman Alonso, who's representing Gill.
Judge Eldon Fallon is presiding over all federal lawsuits, now centralized to a New Orleans court. The court appointed an inspection firm to check for defective drywall, identify manufacturers listed on the product, and document damage in 30 sample homes.
Gill's story certainly is a mold for thousands of other devastated homeowners.
"I worked for 44 years of my life, and I raised a family, took care of parents, and this to me, was my American dream. And it's just completely shattered," Gill said.
If it proves effective, the testing process used here will set the standard testing procedure for all homes involved in federal Chinese drywall suits.
Law firm Parker Waichman Alonso represents clients from over 100 different builders who've all used Chinese drywall. The impact the testing is going to have on all future litigation is huge.
And that peace of mind makes having her home virtually ripped apart, a little bit easier for Gill. She says the faster the testing process is set, the faster homeowners will see relief.
"If this process helps other people get to where they want to be, so be it. I'm glad. Somebody has to grab the reigns and decide what's to be done and how it's supposed to be done," Gill said.

Recently, I've heard from NFL.COM analysts that under new HC John Fox and GM John Elway the Bronco Defense is much improved. In particular, this glowing appraisal concerns Denver's (suddenly formidable) pass rush led by rookie LB Von Miller and returning DE Elvis Dumervil who had missed the previous season.
First, let's look at last season's tale of the sack [players with 4 or more Sacks]
Oakland: Wimbley 9, Kelly 7, Shaughnessy 7, Seymour 5.5, Houston 5, Branch 4, Huff 4 [fn. Groves 0]
Team Total: 47 [Opponents 44 ... net +3]
Denver: Williams 5.5, Haggan 5
Team Total: 23 [Opponents 40 ... net -17]
Now we look at the 2011 Preseason [players with 2 or more sacks]
Oakland: Moss 2 / Team Total: 5 [Opponents 13 ... net -8]
Denver: Von Miller 3, Hunter 2 / Team Total: 9 [Opponents 11 ... net -2]
As you can see, the Raiders more than doubled the Broncos regular season sack total while during this preseason Denver nearly double Oakland's sack total. Granted the sample is tiny in preseason and starters are not playing 4 quarters but, apparently this recent data and projections of VonDoom are getting some in the media as excited as the Mile High fans.

Tuesday, a Lubbock Grand Jury indicts several people putting them all one step closer to trial.
Albert Sarinana is indicted for evading arrest in a motor vehicle and unlawful use of a motor vehicle. He allegedly led police on a high speed chase through Lubbock, which ended when he crashed into a pole and then a house in early June.
Mary Mendolla and Serena Flores are accused of defrauding their former employer out of thousands of dollars, and they were both indicted for theft between $20,000 to $100,000. At least one of the women was a receptionist for Jeffrey McNeely at the South Plains Center for Foot Care from 1995 to 1996.

A Lydian scale based on the note C consists of the notes C D E F# G A and B. Alternatively, if we start on the note F, the scale consists of the notes F G A B C D E. This scale can be played on the white notes of a piano without the use of any sharps or flats (black keys) only if started on the note F (F G A B C D E).
Examples include the following:
NOTE: Modern usage of Lydian mode is often implied by certain chord spellings. For example, the chords D/C or Cmaj7#11 imply a C Lydian harmony.

Taking a nap on the rocky banks of the Flathead River in Montana can be dangerous, especially if a snake has the same idea. When hiker Bill Gustafson, 17, of Columbia Falls took a break to snooze in the sun July 5, he fell asleep bare-chested. A non-poisonous garter snake then slithered onto his warm chest without waking him. Gustafson didn't know what startled him into consciousness, but when he opened his eyes a hawk was diving straight for him. It snatched the snake off his chest and flew away, leaving behind several clawed gashes in the teenager's skin. Otherwise, Gustafson was unharmed, although stunned. "I didn't really understand what was happening," he told Hungry Horse News. Two fisherman ran to help him after watching the hawk fly away with its meal; no one had time to identify the type of hawk.

Beginning Tuesday, off-duty officers from the Greenville County Sheriff's Office, the Greenville Police Department, and the Mauldin Police Department will be patrolling Greenville County elementary schools and centers that do not already have an on-campus security presence.
These officers will check the inside and outside of buildings, watch the entrances, and be there as a visible law enforcement presence. They'll also investigate crimes at the school, in addition to creating relationships with the students.
According to the Greenville County Sheriff's Office, these officers will patrol daily, on-routes set-up by zone. This added security will be jointly funded by the school district and the law enforcement agencies.
Lamar Buchanan has grandkids at Greenville County schools, but also knows what it is like on the inside. He's been a teacher there for 28 years and says he welcomes the added security presence.
"In general I would feel more comfortable," Buchanan said. "There's always altercations and it's always been up to the teachers to take care of those situations."
There is also a way for parents to get involved. The district has created an email address, firstname.lastname@example.com and a phone number, 452-7233, so parents can report security breaches and also share ideas as how to better school safety in Greenville County.

Portrait of the Artist as an old Man2013 ArtPrize Entry
ARTIST'S STATEMENT: "PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AN AN OLD MAN" "Portrait of the Artist as an Old Man" depicts the many stages and emotions we face throughout our lives. Ecstasy, curiosity, anger, sadness, etc. Having said that, the image pretty much speaks for itself. But the power it exerts must be experienced on a wall when it's exhibited. It measures approximately 4' x 15' or 44" x 182". I believe that "Portrait of the Artist as an Old Man" will garner a great deal of attention, both positive and negative. But isn't that what art is supposed to do?

At NTU we love competition, but New Jersey has spent years competing with neighboring New York in the wrong way – a perpetual battle for higher taxes. In recent years, the Garden State has increased taxes on income, property, alcohol, cigarettes, and a variety of other goods and services – to the tune of billions of dollars. In order to get back on track, Jersey needs to call off its assault on the private sector and cut taxes to spur job growth and keep its citizens from fleeing to better tax climates. On behalf of our more than 10,000 members in the state, NTU will continue to fight for a prosperous New Jersey. Be sure to check back here often for more information on state and local taxpayer groups, our work on behalf of taxpayers, and contact information for your lawmakers.

Jai Williams commits to Saint Joseph's
- Written by Donald Hunt
- Published in Basketball
Jai Williams is easily one of the best high school basketball players in the city. Williams, a 6-foot-7, 240 pound senior, is a tremendous player for Philadelphia Electrical & Technology Charter's basketball team.
Williams has given a verbal commitment to play for Saint Joseph's University.
"I feel really good about the decision," Williams said. "I like Saint Joseph's. The school is not too far from my house. I live in West Philly. I can stay in touch with my family.
"I've been to some of the games. I like the team. They get out and run in transition. The team is very athletic. I feel I can fit right in with the way they play the game."
Williams had a chance to talk to Ronald Roberts, Hawks 6-foot-8 junior forward, about the basketball program. Roberts provided a good overview of basketball on Hawk Hill.
"He was very helpful," Williams said. "I talk to [him] about the practice and the schedule. He told me about organizing my time. He told me things are different from high school."
Saint Joseph's plays in the Atlantic 10 Conference, which happens to be one of the best leagues in the East. Williams is well aware of the competition.
"It's a great conference," he said. "I'm really excited about playing in the league. Plus, you got two new teams to join the conference in Butler and VCU. It's going to be really good this year."
Williams averaged 10.2 points a game for PET. He led his team to the Public League playoffs before losing to Boys' Latin in the postseason. PET finished with a 16-11 overall record. In spite of his exploits, Williams is looking to improve his game even more before he goes to Saint Joseph's next year.
"I need to work on dribbling the ball," he said. "I want to be more confident dribbling. I want to be able to shoot that midrange jumpshot, too."
Williams was a major Division I recruit. He had received interest from Drexel, La Salle, Villanova, Temple, Oklahoma, Niagara and Quinnipiac. The All-Public League standout has already made his college decision prior to the start of the school year.
"I feel good about the decision," said Williams, who would like to major in physiology or sports management. "I can just focus on going to school now. I'm looking forward to having a good year and going to Saint Joseph's."

Empowering the Third Billion: Utilizing Women As Key Drivers of Economic Growth
New York, NY, October 15, 2012 — With a staggering 1 billion women around the world set to enter the global economy in the coming decade, Booz & Company provide an analytical look into this complex group's potential and the common challenges that it faces
New York, NY, October 15, 2012 — With a staggering 1 billion women around the world set to enter the global economy in the coming decade, Booz & Company provide an analytical look into this complex group's potential and the common challenges that it faces
Women in the workforce play a pivotal role in spurring economic growth. Yet – despite amounting to almost 1 billion worldwide and rivaling the populations of India and China – this fast-growing group of people has not received sufficient attention from key decision-makers in many countries. In light of this, management consulting firm Booz & Company has created the Third Billion Index – a ranking of 128 countries based on how effectively leaders are empowering women as economic agents. The Index is a composite of established data on women's economic and social status; it aims to isolate factors that facilitate women's access into the larger economy as well as determine how additional advancements and further integration can be achieved.
Striking Conclusions
The Third Billion Index is a combination of indicators of women's potential for economic participation, drawn from a spectrum of criteria – all of which were taken from existing data compiled by the World Economic Forum or the Economist Intelligence Unit. The index divides all the characteristics of women's economic standing into two separate clusters: the first, "inputs", identifies measures that a government and other entities can take to affect the economic position of women. These are grouped into three combined elements that include women's level of preparation for joining the workforce, the country's access-to-work policies and entrepreneurial support.
The second centers on a set of "outputs", which are based on observable aspects of women's contribution to the national economy. These comprise issues such as inclusion in the workforce, the degree of advancement in the national economy and equal pay for equal work in practice.
Key Findings
The results of the index lead to several revelations about government practices and women's economic progress. "First, there is a clear correlation between the front-end processes and policies regarding women's economic opportunities (inputs) and the actual success of women in their national economies (outputs). We discovered this by clustering the 128 countries into five broad categories based on their index rankings," explained Dr. Karim Sabbagh, a Senior Partner with Booz & Company.
The countries with a strong set of both inputs and outputs are labeled "on the path to success"; these are typically developed economies. Moreover, the countries "taking the right steps" have implemented a slate of input policies and are just beginning to see their efforts pay off. They vary widely in other political and social dimensions and include Malaysia, Tunisia, and Venezuela. On the other hand, a small number of states also comprising China and Cambodia are "forging their own path"; they are seeing modest output results, but have not yet established a strong foundation of inputs.
The next group of countries, classified as "average," consists of those that have taken slow steps to improve inputs to women's economic progress and have, subsequently, seen commensurate output results. Nations such as Columbia, Serbia and Thailand belong to that realm. Lastly, there are nations that have not yet approached the problem at all; those are said to be "at the starting gate" and include most of the Arab states in the Index, as well as Indonesia, Laos, and Nigeria. This category accounts for the largest number of the 128 countries, suggesting an immense economic opportunity in many parts of the world.
The Effect on "Outcomes"
Perhaps the most significant finding from the Third Billion Index is the impact of "inputs" and "outputs" on "outcomes" – the latter which refers to broader indications of well-being, including per capita GDP, literacy rates, access to education, and infant mortality.
"The data shows a very strong correlation between index scores and beneficial outcomes. This relationship indicates that positive steps intended to economically empower women not only contribute to the immediate goals of mobilizing the female workforce, but also lead to broader gains for all citizens," said Dr. Leila Hoteit, a Principal with Booz & Company.
Universal Challenges
In truth, all countries have unique requirements and must combine specific input policies to create a solution that can best address women's needs. However, Booz & Company's research has also found several common challenges that women face – regardless of their country's stage of economic development or its performance in empowering women.
"One challenge is the care economy," said DeAnne Aguirre, Senior Partner with Booz & Company. "Around the world, women are the primary caregivers for children, the elderly, and the sick, and this responsibility hampers their economic development. Certainly, countries must walk a fine line in determining how to address this issue. However, several elements are critical in any approach to care work including widespread, affordable care for children, the elderly, and the sick; cultural changes aimed at dividing care work more equitably between men and women; and private sector recognition of the importance of care work for all employees, along with accommodations to allow for a healthy work-life balance."
Enabling Women for the Future
Additionally, in every country in the world, women require investments – financial, educational, and cultural – in their future. "Allocating capital for investment in women's businesses is fruitless if women do not have the education and training to run a business successfully, or the cultural perception that they can compete economically with men," added Dr. Hoteit. "The measures needed to create change in each of these areas will vary according to a country's level of economic development."
"Lack of credit is another common hurdle," said Christine Rupp, Partner at Booz & Company; "although micro financing has helped launch many women-owned businesses, these schemes also risk limiting such businesses to tiny operations in the service sector, instead of helping foster larger operations."
More so, in all areas of women's economic empowerment, there is a need for detailed, updated, and gender-disaggregated data – so interested parties can better understand the issues that women face and more effectively frame solutions. This includes data on access to capital, property rights, and small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) ownership. Addressing these matters will require a set of solutions tailored to individual countries, with cooperation from various entities. Yet the universality of these challenges certainly shows that solutions in one part of the world will likely apply elsewhere as well, and that best practices will transcend borders.

Fury over pothole
Updated 1:02pm Wednesday 27th February 2013 in News By Elizabeth Kemble
A SALISBURY resident who highlighted the "diabolical" condition of a potholed road 18 months ago is furious, as he says not a single repair has been carried out since.
Geoff Hall says Windsor Street is now worse than ever, and in heavy rain the middle becomes flooded, causing passing cars to splash water onto the front doors of homes in the road.
Mr Hall, a building site manager, said: "It's bad enough that we have to pay £80 to park our cars there, but we also have to put up with the very poor condition of the road – 80 per cent of it is indented in the middle.
"When it rains the water pools in the middle and it can be between two and three inches deep. I'm fed up with contacting the council about the state of it and getting no response."
Mr Hall, who tripped and fell on the uneven surface two years ago, spraining his ankle and injuring his shoulder, said remedial works carried out at the beginning of August 2011 did little good.
He said: "When I saw they had closed the road I thought 'great, they're going to do something', but they did a bodge job patching up the road surface with a material called cold pour – what they need to do is completely resurface it."
A Wiltshire Council spokesman said while it continued to invest in highway maintenance, it was necessary to "prioritise expenditure".
She said: "The major roads which carry the most traffic or those where there are serious safety concerns are treated as a priority.
Although Windsor Street is not listed on any forthcoming annual programme, the council will continue to review it when preparing our annual programmes. We will also continue to monitor this road and carry out necessary work when it is needed."

Torrey Pines Bank adds defibrillators
Torrey Pines Bank is the first bank in San Diego County to participate in the Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) Program through San Diego Project Heart Beat.
As part of the program the bank has installed automated external defibrillators (AEDs) at all of its 11 branches throughout California and its corporate offices and all staff will receive training on their use as well as in first aid and CPR.
The devices, which deliver a life-saving shock to the heart to halt rapid, chaotic heart activity to restore normal heart rhythm, will also be available to businesses, communities surrounding the bank branches where they will be located, the bank's press release noted. When the AED is activated, an ambulance is automatically called to the scene.
The goal of San Diego's PAD Program is to improve the survivability of sudden cardiac arrest by making the devices as accessible as fire extinguishers in any and all public and private arenas. For information go to www.sdprojectheartbeat.com.

Eight years ago today, I lost the love of my life, My beloved husband Jimmy. When I said goodbye and kissed him that morning, I didn't know it would be the last time. I'm still devastated that I lost him. It has been a nightmare, that I can't recover from. Everyone in his family blamed me and turned their backs on me and our daughter (Even though he was killed in the line of duty). I guess it is easier to deal with the loss of a loved one if you can hate someone. At least that is what they did to us. Today, to add to my misery our daughter told me that she hates me and wished I would die! Yes, I have to deal with a Defiant Teenager and all her troubled like minded friends. The one thing that I have lost is Hope for a future that will give me any kind of happiness.

Prime ski season is far from over, especially in some of the colder regions of the world. For instance, if baby boomers wish to hit the slopes, they may consider an adventure travel trip to Alaska. The majestic mountains are ideal for perfect snow conditions and there are plenty of different resorts to explore.
According to MapQuest's travel guide, one of the best locales for skiing is near the state's capital. Eaglecrest Ski Area has more than 600 acres of land for skiers and snowboarders so winter sports enthusiasts can spread out and enjoy the scenery. It's known to be good for beginners as well as experts, and the facility uses a lot of natural snow on their trails, as they get roughly 300 inches a year.
Not only is the skiing fantastic in Alaska, there are many other things to see and do throughout the state. If travelers are near Juneau visiting Eaglecrest, they can also experience Marine Park to relax and mingle with the locals, reports Lonely Planet. This area is open to the public and has beautiful views of Mt. Juneau. There are even free binoculars to use for spotting mountain goats and other wildlife.

8 Great Ideas for Fun Fall Dates
With October upon us and fall in full swing, it's time to order up some pumpkin spice lattes and hit the town for some fun fall dates. Since fall is my favorite season, I generally get giddy around this time of year thinking about all of the fall options. It never seems like there are enough weekends to squeeze in all of the things I want to do!
Here are my ideas for the 8 best fall dates to take advantage of before winter comes barreling in:
1. CORN MAZE. There's just something about a corn maze that screams fall to me. I recently told some friends that I want to put on some boots, skinny jeans, and plaid and just go trot around a farm with a corn maze. Maybe it's just childhood nostalgia but I have strong memories from my childhood of the crisp air and sunshine from days spent at a corn maze. Also, pumpkin picking and hayrides tend to go hand in hand with the corn maze, so make a day of it!
2. Carve a pumpkin. I can't remember the last time I actually carved a pumpkin but perhaps this year will be the year to do it! As a kid, I was always grossed out by the pulp and I made my parents do it. I'm probably still grossed out by it, but isn't that what significant others are for? Also, pumpkin seeds. Roast them in the oven with some salt… Yum.
3. Take a hike and look at the fall colors. When I was living in New England, fall was almost unbearably beautiful. If you're lucky enough to live somewhere that the leaves turn bright shades of orange and red and yellow, do me a favor and go exploring! Take pictures or have a picnic or even just go for a drive and take notice of them, because for sad southerners like myself, the changing leaves is kind of lame.
4. Haunted Houses. I will be passing on this option, thankyouverymuch, but for anyone who is braver than I am, find your local haunted house and go get spooked! I'll be sitting on my couch watching Hocus Pocus, which is pretty much the scariest movie I can handle.
5. Scary movie marathon. (See above for my wimpiness.) Halloween is the best time to brush up on your scary movie collection. Check out some old classics like the Friday the 13th series and cuddle up next to your significant other. Then see how many you can get through before the fake blood and intestines start to look real!
6. Football! Football might be my favorite thing that happens in the fall, and it's really the only reason I have cable. Between college football Saturdays and NFL Sundays, your weekends can be spent cheering for your favorite teams at home, at a bar, or even at a tailgate.
7. Have a bonfire. Okay, maybe bonfires are my favorite part of fall. Or maybe I just can't decide, but I do know that s'mores are delicious and bonfire smell is magical and hanging out with friends around open flames is seriously awesome.
8. Apple picking and subsequent apple baking. The best part about apple picking is getting to bake with your bounty afterwards. Between apple sauce, apple pie, and apple cider, there are dozens of recipes to try out. Don't forget to send me some!
What are your favorite fall activities?
2 Responses to "8 Great Ideas for Fun Fall Dates"
Jenn, you really painted a lovely picture with your words. These are great date ideas!
I'm personally looking forward to having a bonfire. It's also a fun place to bring a lot of friends together and mingle with new ones
This is a great list. I think that a haunted house is an especially great way to bond in way that will be truly memorable, as long as your date is into it! I would also suggest taking two of these and combining them into one amazing date for a powerful memory.

What's Become of Kevin Hart
Once a Cub, now a Pirate. Joe Kerrigan has made some changes. While it may look like it hasn't worked, I suspect there's some luck balancing out. And a few less strikes being thrown. Either way, too early to tell, but Hart has changed the mix.

A few weeks back, I posted about a way to setup Growl to display X11 keyboard notifications. While the technique I described works, it was not really satisfying. So I decided to write a small program that would offer the same functionality (and a few others), the result is
- How to I trigger a notification?
- Type
xkbbell "message"in a shell.
- Why did you write this?
- Because I wanted to
- Why not use Growl network notifications?
- Sending Growl network from a generic unix box requires two things: to know the address of the target Mac and that said Mac has an open network port. The first is a configuration problem, the second is a security issue. I could setup an additional ssh tunnel, but this is done automatically for the X11 connection…
- Why not use XXX
- There are many open source frameworks to do notifications. At a low level, Dbus seems to be the standard, at a higher level there are frameworks like Mumbles. My solution does not require to install a single thing on any Unix box, it uses software that has been there since 1995, and it uses the standard.
This small program basically connects to the X11 server and listens to X11 keyboard bell events and translates them to growl notifications. Compared to the script version, there are a few additional features:
- No dependencies besides growl.
- No text escaping or buffer issues
- The volume value is translated into a Growl priority.
- If an X11 window is associated with the event: the window name is prefixed to the notification text and the window's icon is used as the notification icon.
- Simple to use, just enter
xkbgrowl &. The program will exit when the X11 servers quits.
As usual, if your computer catches fire, or any bad thing happens on your machine because you used this software, its your own fault. This code happens to work on my machine, but was not really tested on any other settings.

A few months ago, I got the idea to hold the first-ever Halos Heaven Awards, in which I gathered a body of people to vote for several different honors. The awards went over well, but they also spurred my creative mind as to how these could be improved upon.
After the inaugural festivities, however, I realized that we need to get a consistent group of HHers together to vote each season for not just those, but other things as well.
Thus, the idea for the Halos Heaven Voting Board came about.
How will this be done? Well, it's simple. If you're interested in being a part of this, it requires two simple things: First, you need to comment on this thread. Just let me know you're interested in doing this. Secondly, either include your email address in the comments, or make it public so I can hang on to it when time to vote on stuff comes around.
There were nine of us on here that took part in the inaugural awards voting, which will be modified with an award added to it this season. In addition, there will be other things the board will vote on, like the first upcoming offseason countdown list I have in store, the Top 15 Acquisitions in Angels History.
I don't want it to grow too large, but that shouldn't be TOO much of a problem. If it gets larger than I expect, then I'll be certain to devise a plan to help avoid an overcrowded voting system. For now, though, state your interest and make your emails known to me so I can get these things ready and going!

Connected Data Can Reveal A Click's Worth To Your Business
- Published by

- Leave your thoughts
For the past several years, businesses have been pursuing social media exposure, chasing "likes" on Facebook, and gathering followers on Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram – it has been notoriously hard to get a read on what all those likes, followers, and clicks are really worth.
Some custom software, such as SumAll Social Metrics, an analytics tool that tracks social media activity in the context of web traffic and revenue, help businesses start to see the return on social marketing.
Presented on a single dashboard in a SaaS environment, SumAll's new tool – now free for businesses of all sizes to use – connects and normalizes transactional, social, and web traffic data to reveal how successfully social traffic converts into new customers and revenue.
SumAll Social Metrics tracks data interactions to provide actionable insights that enable sound business decision-making.
SumAll client Diamond Candles, who has more than 143,000 likes on Facebook, estimates that each social network engagement is worth approximately one cent.
Social media advocacy is far more valuable for the company, garnering about $1.07 per advocacy interaction.
The company cross-references customer traffic from Google Analytics and monitors engagement activity on Facebook along with gross receipts, gaining access to easy-to-understand business intelligence via SumAll Social Metrics that lets the company know how effective its social media marketing efforts are.
SumAll Social Metrics allows any business to view a full social history – connect Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and shortly YouTube (updated in real-time) – and analyze the data via dashboard interaction, filtering by geography, demographics, or types of actions, including page views and clicks.
In addition, the tool keeps businesses informed via daily emails that deliver customized insights.
Connected data gives insights across a business, previously siloed information, and clear insights formerly only available to large businesses with teams of data analysts.
SumAll keeps you up and running in a matter of minutes, enabling companies to access important insights that can help them drive revenue and expand operations without costly, difficult-to-integrate systems that require extensive training to use.
There's a lot of talk in the industry about the advantages of big data, with the largest corporations capitalizing on their data assets to gain key business insights.
Now SumAll puts big data tools into the hands of more companies with a free, real-time data dashboard.
SumAll Social Metrics allows companies to integrate data from multiple sources: Facebook, Twitter, Google Analytics, Google Adwords, Instagram, Amazon eBay, PayPal, Shopify, Big Commerce, Authorize, Stripe, Braintree and Magento, among others.
The tool allows users to view all of their data on one intuitive, interactive chart via their Web browser, tablet, or mobile phone.
The social media revolution has changed the way businesses communicate with their customers, as it was difficult for companies to integrate data from multiple sources and analyze it to gain valuable business intelligence.
With SumAll Social Metrics, users can now get an easy-to-understand dashboard that allows them to reveal actionable insights by combing social interactions and revenue.
By connecting data, SumAll Social Metrics can finally answer how much a click is worth to your business.

ALBANY, N.Y. – The rise of selfies has caused so much self-awareness that it's leading some people to the plastic surgeon's office in order to erase their flaws.
Jennifer Graybeal, a mother of two, knows all the tricks on how to snap the perfect selfie. However, those pictures have also caused her to notice some of her imperfections.
"I see if it's the wrong angle, I see maybe I have a double chin, bags under my eyes, fine lines," she said.
Some say selfies may no longer be a sign of self-confidence anymore, instead becoming a sign of self-obsession.
"Taking selfies is a reflection of a society that's pushing really hard to keep your self-esteem low," said Kathleen Crowley, Professor of Psychology at the College of Saint Rose.
For many, the barrage of pictures on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, has been leading people to go under the knife and needle. Dr. Jeffery Rockmore, a plastic surgeon, said he has seen an increase in patients who are more self-aware of their flaws because of social media.
"We absolutely see people that are seeing pictures of themselves, more commonly on things like Instagram and Facebook," said plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffery Rockmore.
One of the most popular procedures for those looking to take a better picture is Botox.
"People see themselves visually more than they have before," continued Rockmore, "It absolutely has increased the traffic within our office."
While some may find it extreme to go under the knife for a photo, one New York City woman spent $15,000 on plastic surgery so she could have the perfect selfie.
"If you have 50 selfies of yourself from every possible angle you're going to be reflecting on what you look like," said Professor Crowley.
For those who would rather not go under the knife for permanent solutions, there are even a number of phone applications on the market that are geared toward selfies. Some of those will allow a user to airbrush their photo, while some will make it look like you lost ten pounds off your face.
Graybeal said that she is open to the idea of plastic surgery, but for now, she will be sticking to technology to fix her flaws.
"I think we all want to look out best. It's just human nature. It's natural to care what other people think about you," said Graybeal.
