DAHLONEGA, Ga.
Trail of Tears chapter to meet
The Georgia Chapter of the Trail of Tears Association, in partnership with the Georgia Appalachian Studies Center, will meet at 10:30 a.m. Saturday in the Hoag Auditorium on the campus of North Georgia College and State University in Dahlonega.
Dahlonega is well-known for the gold rush in the early 1800s, which was one of the factors contributing to the forced expulsion of the Cherokee Indians from Georgia.
The speaker is Don Wells, president of the nonprofit organization Mountain Stewards. He will speak about trail mapping efforts in the Southern Appalachian mountains, particularly the trails used by Native Americans. For more information about this organization, visit www.mountainstewards.org.

Bradley lawyer disbarred
An attorney suspended in 2007 and later convicted of two counts of forgery has been disbarred by the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Damon Jarrid Lee was convicted in September 2007 of forgery under $1,000 and forgery over $1,000, according to a news release from the Supreme Court's Board of Professional Responsibility. The court suspended him in November of that year and the disbarment is retroactive to that date, the release stated.
Lee could be reinstated if he pays the board's costs and expenses and meets Supreme Court requirements, according to the release.

I just had a great time participating in the 24th CSU Math- Science- Tech Day. Check out some event photos from this year and read more about our program.
Front Range Teen Science Cafe September 10th
Dr. Lisa Angeloni and I will be the guest scientists for the first Front Range Teen Science Cafe of the semester on September 10th at 5pm. Check out the flyer for more details. We can't wait!
ISBE, ABS, and GREEBs!
I had a whirlwind summer full of science and traveling. Now that classes are starting, I hope to be better about posting! I had a great time at the ISBE conference in New York City as well as the ABS meeting at Princeton where my talk about genotype-by-environment interactions was well received. It feels like conference season is winding down, but there is one more, and it might just be my favorite. GREEBs will be hosted at CSU's Pingree Park September 19-21 and I can only hope that the aspens will be changing color by then!
Congratulations Cassandra
Cassandra successfully defended her honors thesis titled "Effects of gene flow on color and body size in guppies." Great job Cassandra!
AFS Western Division
I was thrilled that this year's AFS Western Division meeting was held in Mazatlan, Mexico! The location was perfect and the people were great. I learned an incredible amount about mangroves at the second annual mangrove symposium, for example that the checkered puffer fish has a personality type for aggression and boldness. I also learned that warm sunny weather coupled with fresh-squeezed margaritas puts fish biologists in a fantastic mood. Thanks everyone for a well-organized and successful WD 2014 meeting.
Master Michelle Desrosiers
Colorful World of Guppies event
Check out the photos I just posted from an outreach event we completed in October 2013 as part of the CSU Math, Science, Tech Day. The Colorful World of Guppies was a huge success.
Ocelots "spotted"!!!
Our camera trap project in Trinidad captured images of ocelots! To our knowledge, this is the first documentation of wild ocelots on the island of Trinidad! Big congratulations to everyone involved in this project: Carl Fitzjames , Kelly Warren, Chris Funk, and Sarah Fitzpatrick.
FRSES success
A big congratulations to Chris Kopack for winning best undergraduate poster at this year's Front Range Student Ecology Symposium.
Props to female Island Scrub-jays
Females of this beautiful, range-restricted bird may nest up to 6 times and lay 18 eggs in a breeding season only to average 1.1 surviving chicks! Most nests are discovered and devoured by hungry predators like the island fox. Luckily, nests in native shrubs are more likely to survive and these shrubs are slowly returning to the island after disturbance. Let's hope that the future is looking up for these industrious and tenacious ladies. Learn more in Luke's paper. Rock on Angeloni lab!

About Santa Cruz de la Sierra
Santa Cruz de la Sierra, commonly called Santa Cruz, is the most populous city located at the heart of the second-most populous place in Bolivia, and is also considered as the most economically prosperous city in the country and one of the fastest-growing cities in the world today.
Founded by a Spanish explorer named Ñuflo de Chavez in the sixteenth century, this city was moved several times throughout its history, until it was final established in the late sixteenth century at the Pirai River. In its early years, this city is merely a small outpost town, with little attention from the authorities of the country and the general population, until the end of World War II, when there was a comprehensive reform in agrarian and land systems that commenced the city's fast surge to prosperity. Today, this city makes up around 35% of the entire country's gross domestic product and gets around 40% of all foreign investments in Bolivia. This easily made the city the most important center for business in the country.
Unlike La Paz (Bolivia's administrative capital city) and other major cities across the country situated high in the Andes, Santa Cruz lies at just over four hundred meters altitude with a distinctly tropical climate.
There are a lot of great excursions guests can book at the city of Santa Cruz, such as trekking in Park Amboro and Noel Kempff, Jesuit Mission's cultural excursions, or riverboat trip in the Amazon region. For soccer fans out there, this city can be a haven, as it is the home of the most famous soccer academy in the world today -- Academia de Futbol Tahuichi Aguilera, an institution that trains young players to become professional players in the future.
The Yvaga Guazú nature park houses different plants and animals. The Pirai River on the other hand, means so much for the locals, as people gather in the riverbanks to cool off, have a picnic, and socialize. Near the Cabañas Río Piraí are stores and stalls that offer food typical to the area.
There are a lot of mid-range and budget-friendly hotels and hostels in Santa Cruz. Many budget hotels in particular are close to the bus terminals, making it easy to explore the city. Budget hotels range from brand new hotels to standard rooms, all promising to offer laid-back and relaxed places for backpackers and travelers to stay. For mid-range budgets on the other hand, has some three-star and four-star hotels that take pride in superb hospitality.

Santa Cruz de la Sierra Travel Tips & Suggestions
Santa Cruz is a great city!
— David Deftlesen
Do not use Ruta Verde for expeditions. They charge four times what hotels would charge.
— Davis Richter
It's a wonderful place with such a spiritual feel. I also will return one day.
— Michael Wojticki
Samaipata is underestimated, with such a variety of landscapes and a great climate. We're German and were impressed by the local services, an amazing place to stay, and quite some good restaurants like Latina Café and La Chakana, as well as local stuff. We loved hiking in Amboró park and above Cuevas waterfalls. Other areas like the jungle and sandstone mountains were not accessible due to heavy rains.
— Peter
Smaipata is a beautiful and special place with good food (Try Cafe Latino....especially the chicken curry). There is a new tourism project that we loved called Bella Vista. Half jungle and half high mountains.
— Tweety Brd
I cannot keep Samaipata out of my mind. It's a unique, very spiritual place, and I will return there one day, maybe to live. I was down assisting my daughter with some scientific work she was doing in the desert near Pampagrande; we took a long "take a shower and eat good food" weekend. A very special place.

If the TinCaps make the playoffs – and that continues to look like a distinct possibility – they can thank their ability to pound baseballs into the stands.
On Tuesday, they had two home runs – Nick Schulz continued his torrid pace with a three-run blast in the fourth inning – and Fort Wayne defeated the Lansing Lugnuts 7-1 at Parkview Field.
The TinCaps have 75 home runs this season – including two by Schulz and one by Dustin Peterson in Monday's 4-3 victory over Lansing – and they are on pace for 92, which would be their most since the 97 of 2009.
They have already hit more home runs than they did in all of 2011 (67) and 2012 (64), and they're one back of the total of last year.
The TinCaps' first batter Tuesday, Trea Turner, got things started against Lansing's starting pitcher, Miguel Castro by blasting a 97 mph pitch over the left field wall for a 1-0 lead.
That was increased in the fourth, when a Peterson groundout brought home Franmil Reyes. The next matter, Ryan Miller, was hit by a pitch, setting up Schulz for his gargantuan home run to left field for a 5-0 lead in front of 4,933 fans.
That was the end of the night for Castro, who allowed only three hits, while striking out five and walking one, but was victimized by the three home runs.
Meanwhile, Fort Wayne's starting pitcher, Jeffery Enloe, was steady; he gave up four hits and struck out three over six innings.
Schulz has been on a torrid pace. He is on a six-game hitting streak, has had multiple hits in four of those games, and he has four home runs and 12 RBI over the last 10 games. After going 1 for 3 with two runs Tuesday, his season average is up to .317 with five home runs, 16 runs and 16 RBI in 27 games.
The TinCaps (51-62 overall, 21-23 in second half) have been stupendous since their 13-game losing streak came to an end July 12, then have won 16 of 23 games and all of their last four.
They came into the night one game back of Dayton and Great Lakes, who had a hold on the final two playoff spots out of the Midwest League's Eastern Division.
But the TinCaps, who are led in home runs by 10 apiece from Peterson, Miller and Reyes, are hoping to power their way past them in the final 27 games.
Turner was 3 for 5 with a run and two RBI.
Lansing (51-62, 19-25) got a 2-for-4 performance from Mitch Nay.
Notes: Miller was the catcher for the TinCaps, a night after Adolfo Reina injured his elbow making a tag at home plate. Reina was working with pitchers in the bullpen during the game but wasn't making throws. … Only Cedar Rapids (17-6) and West Michigan (16-6) had better records in the Midwest League than the TinCaps' 15-7 mark over the previous 22 games.

Hopkins' motivation seen early in Texans camp
Andre Johnson made the Texans' first highlight-reel catch of the preseason a week ago, but he paid for his heroics with a strained hamstring that has limited him to spectating.

CINCINNATI (AP) - Fans booed. Flashbulbs went off. Tim Tebow had arrived in the NFL.
With a much better haircut and a touchdown, no less.
The rookie quarterback from Florida made his first preseason appearance Sunday night, and got into the end zone on the final play of a 33-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Tebow went 8 of 13 for 105 yards in the second half, with most of the completions and yards coming on the final drive against a soft defense. That one ended with Tebow scrambling 7 yards for a touchdown, running over safety Kyries Hebert to score.
Kyle Orton was impressive in his preseason debut, throwing two touchdown passes in three series and reminding Broncos fans that he's the one running the offense if not selling the most jerseys.

In this town there are many men of goodwill who are just and kind to strangers. The people of the villages are the same… and in this they display a hereditary instinct towards generosity.
—Ibn Jubayr, visiting Harran in 1184 AD
Harran is where Abraham settled along with his wife Sarah and his father, and where he received his call to leave everything behind. Go from your land, from your birthplace and from your father's house to the land which I will show you, the Bible reads in Genesis. In Hebrew, God's call to Abraham is Lech Lecha, which can be translated as "go find yourself".
Located south of Urfa and north of the border with Syria, Harran is still a place of crossroads today. Its rich history is reflected in the magnificent ruins of the Harran's Great Mosque and University, the enigmatic pagan site of Sogmatar and the biblical city of Shuayb Seri.
The Abraham Path in the Harran region (Turkey) is has not been thoroughly researched yet and is in a preliminary stage of development.
For the time being, API advises against all travel south of the Urfa-Mardin highway, including the Harran region. In the city of Urfa, we advise travelers to avoid remote, isolated areas and exercise caution.
Deep in the dust of the uninhabited wilderness, a prosperous caravan city rose up, appearing like a mirage to early travelers like Abraham and Sarah. They made their home in Harran, which would become a world-renowned center for religion and learning.
Beehive Houses
Harran's ingenious conical mud-brick structures, whose form may date from biblical times, provided shelter (and natural climate-control) to Harran's families for generations.
Harran University
When the classical academies at Athens and Alexandria were closed down under Christian rule, Harran's world famous center of learning became a refuge for scholars from across the ancient world with over 8,000 students gathering here.
Great Mosque (Ulu Cami)
The crumbling tower of Harran's Great Mosque, visible from a distance, stands vigil over the ruins of one of Turkey's first mosques and once-illustrious university.
Deep in the barren hills of Anatolia near a remote village, seven temples adorn seven hilltops with rock carvings and writings dedicated to the sun, moon, and planets.
Suayb Sehri (Jethro's City)
Suayb Sehri, a former Roman town, is revered as the dwelling place of Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses. It is here that Moses met his wife, Zipporah, and received the staff with which he would part the Red Sea.

Ask AfterEllen.com (March 31, 2009)
Question: So what's the scoop with Robin Roberts of Good Morning America? I had heard that she outed herself at an HRC meeting years ago, but have never seen or heard anything since. Obviously, she oozes vibes that she plays for our team, but I wondered if she was public about the fact.
— Trish
Robin Roberts
Answer: Nope.
Question: Whatever happened to the TV psychic Miss Cleo? I heard she was a lesbian. (She probably knew I was going to ask about her, right?)
— Annie, Seattle WA
Miss Cleo aka Youree Dell Cleomili Harris
Answer: The Miami Herald recently ran an article about Miss Cleo (Youree Dell Cleomili Harris) and found that she is now living the good life in Lake Worth, Florida.
Starting in the late 1990s, she worked as a phone operator for the pay-per-call Psychic Readers Network, and eventually became famous for her role as their television infomercial spokesperson.
Of her time with the Psychic Readers Network, she told the Herald, "I did me… And, apparently, it did very well for them."
But the company (and Harris, as their spokesperson) were hit with lawsuits, including one by the Federal Trade Commission for engaging in "deceptive advertising, billing and collection practices." When the company went out of business, her job ended (but Harris was never indicted or held liable).
In the years that followed, Harris moved to Florida, came out (in a 2006 interview with The Advocate), and started a new life.
Harris now hosts a radio show, "Live OUT Loud!" on Vee Radio, broadcast live each week from the Mother Earth coffeehouse with her friend (and Mother Earth owner) Patti Lucia, and also regularly posts podcasts of her spiritual predictions on her website, TheRealMsCleo.com.
According to the Herald interview, Harris is also involved in the local LGBT political scene. "She has protested in downtown Lake Worth, walked in the Florida AIDS Walk in Fort Lauderdale, and emceed the PrideFest 2008 of the Palm Beaches." And in 2007, she released her first spoken-word CD, Convicted For My Beliefs.
HoustonPress.com reviewed it and determined, "The subject matter is modern, encompassing the Don Imus scandal and the NYPD shooting of Sean Bell. But the cadences and palpable fearlessness are more reminiscent of the Last Poets than of today's slam-to-entertain, HBO-type poetry. No tunes, just 44 a cappella minutes of Miss Cleo." (The CD is for sale on Harris's website.)
Though she is a busy woman, she still gives private readings (you can schedule an appointment on her website) and regularly broadcasts her predictions for our collective future. In the video clip posted with the Miami Herald interview, she promised that the market would be turning around this year in "the last quarter."
For the sake of us all, let's hope that that Miss Cleo's old infomercial promise that "the cards never lie" is true even in her latest incarnation.

Cook Time:

Absolutely wonderful! Simmered beef marinated overnight in lime, lemon and garlic, then sauteed with onion until slightly crispy (then I like to blast it with more fresh-squeezed lime juice!). The technique is almost like making homemade roast beef hash (without the potato). Prep time includes marinating beef overnight. Cook time is combination of two days (simmering of beef, then sauteeing).

It gives options for ordering by phone, check, echeck, fax, money order, purchase order and wire transfer.
It will integrate with real time shipping estimates from USPS, UPS, FedEx and Australia Post. (but you have to create separate accounts with each of those companies and jump through a couple of hoops)
You can also define your own shipping rates on a per item or per order basis, or by weight, or as a percentage of the price.
It produces a nice invoice for the customer and emails order notifications to both the seller and customer.
You can have multiple categories.
You can define your own sales tax rules and have destination based or source based tax rules.
It has a nice css based layout so it is relatively easy to customize, but you probably won't have to.
You can configure the catalog to display as tiles, grid or list (with images of course).
It is all Ajax driven so it is pretty fast.
You can change the product thumbnail sizes.
It is MUCH easier to use and administer than Zen Cart, OS Commerce, the PayPal shipping/tax/orders options and every other javascript and php shopping cart I've ever tried.
You can define your products in a spreadsheet, export to csv and import them into the cart (just don't import columns that have no data!)
It integrates well with Joomla *as long as you use a plugin that will prevent javascript tags from getting stripped from your articles* - such as Jumi or Sourcer.
It is really a pleasure to work with. The FAQ says they may offer a paid service in the future, but the free version will always be free. If you've been looking around for a nice shopping cart, check this one out.
There is a small css error in modules/mod_ccsignup/tmpl/default.php (style="margin-bottom:2")- it should be margin-bottom:2px. But that does not impact the usability in any way.
Thanks for the input. I will log the bug and have it fixed in the next release. - Cheers!

Trip Optimizer
A new advance makes train trips more efficient
GE's Trip Optimizer, a product of Ecomagination, automatically controls a locomotive's throttle, helping keep trains on schedule while minimizing fuel use. This makes the process of delivering locomotive freight more fuel-efficient and less costly.
Trip Optimizer creates an optimal trip profile that can minimize braking by automatically learning a train's characteristics. The system calculates the most efficient way of running by considering such factors as train length, weight, grade, track conditions, weather and locomotive performance.
During the trip, a sophisticated network of on-board computers and GPS systems update the profile continuously, adjusting for changes so the train can arrive on time — and with minimum fuel use.
For each locomotive on which it is used, Trip Optimizer can reduce fuel consumption an incremental 32,000 gallons, cut greenhouse gas emissions by 365 tons, cut NOx emissions by 5 tons, and decrease particulate matter emissions by 0.2 tons.
For an average U.S. Class 1 mainline locomotive, reducing consumption by just 1% realizes $7,500 in fuel savings per year. Multiply that by the number of locomotives in your operation AND by the actual percentage drop in fuel usage and it's easy to see just how dramatic an impact Trip Optimizer can have on your bottom line.
Proven Fuel Savings
- 10% energy savings
- 10% emissions reduction
- 11% mean shift
- Reduced standard deviation between drivers
- Removes variations in driver response seen in coaching system
Trip Optimizer (Auto Control) Speed Regulation
- 90% vs. 65% on target
- 10% vs. 19% underspeed
- No overspeeds
- Reduced variability

Film on German rapper Bushido in works
Constantin grabs rights to gangsta rapper's autobiography
The 30-year-old rapper will play himself in the film, which is set to begin shooting in early 2009 for a fall release.
Born Anis Mohamed Youssef Ferchichi, the son of Tunisian immigrants to Germany, Bushido went from abject poverty to superstar status after the release of his 2001 debut album, "King of Kingz." Since then, he has had five gold and one platinum album in Germany. In 2006, he won best German act at the MTV Europe Music Awards.
True to the gangsta rap tradition, Bushido's career has been dogged with controversy, and critics accuse him of racism and misogyny for his X-rated lyrics and public utterances.
Bushido's biography, which he wrote together with Lars Armend, has spent the last nine weeks on the best-seller charts.

Robin Grabey pulls knife on men who wanted towels back, deputies say

A Big Pine Key woman who stole towels from the laundry room of a trailer park threatened the owners with a knife when they tried to get them back from her, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
Robin Grabey, 52, pulled a knife on a man and his friend and said she would stab them after they asked for the towels back, Monroe County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Becky Herrin said.
Someone in the laundry room said he had seen Grabey take some towels from the dryer, which led the 19-year-old man and his 27-year-old friend to confront her.
A witness said he saw Grabey threaten the men.
Grabey was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

14. Available in 7 different languages packages for front-end : en-GB, de-DE, es-ES, fr-FR, nl-NL, pt-PT, sv-SE.
And much more....
When i wanted to hide the past events in the provided minicalender module i made a ticket. A day later i received a response. He changed a few things in the module for me and now its hiding the past events.
I tried a few Event Bookings packages and then read the reviews on this one. I'm so glad I did. Even if it doesn't have what you want, Tuan and his team will work their backsides off to deliver the customizations required. I had a feature option added for events and the ability to run coupons in either individual or group bookings allowing a promoter type scenario. Hopefully some of the great customizations will be run as standard features down the track.
The product is always evolving and getting better so it will be frighteningly powerful in time.
I am running multiple events and it is doing the job sensationally.
Great functionality and payment plugins. Well done Tuan. Great work
(2) The support provided is top notch! If there are any questions, I have been replied to so fast and sufficiently! I'm really pleased!
I don't exaggerate on my reviews - it's all honesty!
I'm pleased with componennts and assiatance from Tuan!Thank you!
EventBookings is an excellent component which is easy to install, configure and customize.
I had some minor edits that had to be made and the developer was amazing!! Quick, fast and very comprehensive.
I would highly recommend this component especially now with the new added SEF features (v1.6) - no need for sh404 or any other module.
Simply a great component for anyone needing event registration on their site!
The prize is really reasonable compared to others company.
Tuan make a so great support, he is reactive and always have the solution.
When the mod don't support a feature, he make a new version quickly to satisfy customer.
Buy it without any doubt !
There are other event extensions with less features that cost quite much, Event Booking is fully compatible with Joomla 3.xx which is not the case of some other event extensions, development is working very hard and at the same time providing very good support, they event have a wishlist section in their support forum where we can submit request for new features and such requests are processed in a progressive manner based on priority, we cannot just expect developers to work exclusively for us when we are only paying a small subscription, we need to think that they need also to have a living and hence cannot satisfy everyone needs and wants simultaneously!
Event Booking has its default multi-language system which works straight-forward with the default Joomla multi-language structure and this is a very good thing for multi-language websites. Event Booking has also been developed to accept default Joomla content plugins, such as image gallery, video and much more.
Each extension needs it's time to evolve and improve, and this is the case of Event Booking, everything needs a starting point but the only important thing is to see how things progress, there are extensions that are developed and left aside by the developers, better to have a commercial extension with continuous support and development rather than to have a non-commercial extension with no support and no progress at all!
To conclude this review, I will say an exceptional thanks to Tuan, we'll be launching one of our main website by beginning of next week, we needed some missing features in Event Booking version 1.5.3 and these features were to be added in the new version 1.6, to help us to respect our launching deadlines, Tuan has work days and night to release the new version on time and today, the new version has already been installed on our website and totally functionable, thanks again Tuan and sincerely wish you all the best and we'll remain our loyalty to your development.
Stay away from this one if you care about SEO.
Thanks for your reviews. The features you are talking about are now available in the extension :
1. The feature which allows you add meta data (keywords, description) for events and categories was implemented in version 1.6.0 which we released last week.
2. The SEF router for Joomla core is now implemented in version 1.6.1 (which we just finished today). Infact, the SEF router which we implemented is better than Joomla core SEF router. From now on, you will have SEF urls in Events Booking without having to use any third party SEF extensions like SH404 anymore.
3. We will consider developing Xmap plugin for version 1.6.2 or maybe 1.6.3.
Please login to your account on our website, download latest version, upgrade to your site and you will be happy with the new version (not only SEF router, meta data but also other nice features were implemented into that version).
Ossolution Team
All thanks to the the great support, without which it would be difficult to personalize some of the features. Even the code changes have been implemented - Thank You Tuan. I never met to now with such great service ...
except GavickPro;)
- easy installation in 1 click
- nice paypal integration
- a very well written form for single and multiple registration
- custom fields (love this feature)
Also it's really cheap and the support is also great!
I asked for a customization of upcoming events module and they did it in 10 minutes for free :)
Please do more extensions like this!
I added an feature request and they're even adding it to the next release! But even better they allready fixed it for me on the site I need it for!
Outstanding! :-)
The extension is very good and highly customizable. I had a problem with some features that was not exactly what I needed, I provided them an ftp account and they fixed everything in the kindest way anybody could do it.
Thanks a lot!
Tried to get support but it's also not good, in fact rude. You are fine if you don't insist on an existing issue, otherwise their replies turn to a very novice level, same as in their replies to reviews here.
But the best thing is the attentive support of Tuan! He's really fast and kind helping to customize his components.
