Bedminster is a township in Somerset County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the township's population was 8,165,[6][7][8] reflecting a decline of 137 (-1.7%) from the 8,302 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 1,216 (+17.2%) from the 7,086 counted in the 1990 Census.[17]
Bedminster was settled in 1710 by Dutch, Germans, and Scots-Irish immigrants. It was named after Bedminster, then in Somerset, England and now a suburb of Bristol.[18] Bedminster Township was created by Royal charter on April 4, 1749, from portions of the Northern precinct. It was incorporated formally by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 21, 1798. Portions of the township were taken on March 28, 1912, to form Peapack-Gladstone.[19] The community of Pluckemin is part of the township as is part of Pottersville, which is split between Bedminster and Tewksbury Township in Hunterdon county. It is bordered on the north by Chester Township and on the northeast by Peapack-Gladstone.
Bedminster was the corporate headquarters of AT&T Corporation, prior to its merger with SBC Communications (the combined company is now known as AT&T Inc.).[20] AT&T's Global Network Operations Center, which monitors traffic worldwide on AT&T's network, is currently located in Bedminister.[21] It was also the corporate headquarters for Verizon Wireless before it was relocated to nearby Basking Ridge in 2006.
Bedminster Township is noted for having one of the most historic revolutionary war sites in the United States at what is known as the Pluckemin Continental Artillery Cantonment Site, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. General Henry Knox, chief of the Continental Army artillery, was the leader responsible for building what was the country's first military artillery training academy, the forerunner to United States Military Academy at West Point.[22]

U.S. Virgin Islands Government Signs Contracts With Alpine Energy Group To Develop Territory's First Alternative Energy Plant.
ST. THOMAS, U.S. Virgin Islands, Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Governor John P. deJongh, Jr. said that the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (WAPA WAPA Western Area Power Administration (DOE)
WAPA Water and Power Authority (US Virgin Islands)
WAPA Washington Automotive Press Association (Washington, DC) ) has just signed two 20-year Power Purchase Agreements and the Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority (WMA (Windows Media Audio) An audio compression method from Microsoft. Known originally as MSAudio, this proprietary format competes with the MP3 and AAC methods. WMA encodes rapidly and is known to be especially effective at low bit rates. ) has just signed two 20-year Solid Waste Management Services Agreements with affiliates of Denver-based Alpine Energy Group LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol.
LLC - Logical Link Control (Alpine) to build, own and operate two alternative energy facilities to serve the residents of St. Thomas/St. John's and St. Croix. The alternative energy facilities, with a projected cost of $440 million, will convert an estimated 146,000 tons per year of municipal solid waste into refuse-derived fuel (RDF (Resource Description Framework) A recommendation from the W3C for creating meta-data structures that define data on the Web. RDF is designed to provide a method for classification of data on Web sites in order to improve searching and navigation (see Semantic Web). ) using WastAway Services technology, which will combine with petroleum coke Petroleum coke (often abbreviated petcoke) is a carbonaceous solid derived from oil refinery coker units or other cracking processes.[1] Other coke has traditionally been derived from coal. as fuel to generate steam and electric power.
"These plants will begin moving WAPA away from complete dependency on fossil fuel fossil fuel: see energy, sources of; fuel.

Fossil fuels include coal, petroleum, and natural gas. for electric power generation and water production and it will be the first time in Virgin Islands history that fossil fuel has not been used to generate electricity and potable potable /pot·a·ble/ (po´tah-b'l) fit to drink.

fit to drink. water. It is also the first time that the government has developed a viable solution to the landfill and solid waste issues in the Virgin Islands," deJongh said. "Using this combination to address solid waste management and energy needs is a step we hope will further inspire the other Caribbean nations which have experienced similar challenges to consider alternative and renewable energy fuel sources to make energy more affordable for their utility customers."
The governor noted that when he came into office in 2007, his Administration faced significant challenges as it relates to the cost of electricity and the management of solid waste. "Today, we have taken a definitive step in the right direction in terms of addressing the cost of electricity to our residents and the concerns that have been raised since the 1970's about the state of our landfills which has been the subject of both consent orders and fines by the Environmental Protection Agency."
WAPA Executive Director Hugo Hodge, Jr. said that in 2007, the utility issued a RFP (Request For Proposal) A document that invites a vendor to submit a bid for hardware, software and/or services. It may provide a general or very detailed specification of the system.
1. (business) RFP - Request for Proposal.
2. to renewable energy providers in 2007 to develop a practical and environmentally friendly solution to rising fuel prices in the Virgin Islands. "After reviewing 14 proposals, we selected Alpine as our first alternative energy solution because it not only provides a supply of lower-cost electricity, but also helps to satisfy the Virgin Islands' solid waste issues. The power purchased agreement will now be forwarded to the Public Services Commission for review."
Similarly in 2007, the WMA solicited solid waste management proposals that would maximize resource recovery and minimize landfill requirements. In August of 2008, the WAPA invited WMA to the presentation of the two short-listed waste-to-energy proposals.
"At WAPA request, WMA collaborated to negotiate these contracts and obtain Board approval to enter into these 20-year agreements," said WMA Executive Director May Adams Cornwall.
"WMA strongly believes that resource recovery for beneficial reuse is not only environmentally sound but also an economically viable and sustainable means to support our energy infrastructure and economic development."
Each facility will divert essentially all of the municipal solid waste from landfills and provide 33 MW of electric power to St. Thomas/St. John and 16 MW of electric power to St. Croix. "We are very excited to complete this milestone on these projects and we are looking forward to construction and operation," Alpine President James Beach said. "These projects will play a major role in the future of power generation and waste management on St. Thomas/St. John and St. Croix by addressing waste management, electric capacity requirements, and energy costs. We are pleased and proud to have been chosen to help WMA and WAPA craft state-of-the art solutions to divert waste from landfills and offer fuel diversity for power generation."

"Pillsbury has been privileged to advise on numerous power projects throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, Asia and the Mid-East," said partner Todd Culwell, Co-Head of Pillsbury's Renewable Projects Team. "Alpine's solution meets two very great infrastructure needs for the people of the Virgin Islands, renewable, affordable electricity and effective solid waste management. We are pleased to be able to help make this project a reality."
Construction is expected to commence in May 2010 with an anticipated completion date during the fourth quarter of 2012. The facility in St. Thomas will be located at Long Point, on the southeastern shoreline known as Estate Bovoni. In St. Croix, the Alpine facility will be built in the Anguilla area near the Krause Lagoon, southwest of the Hovensa refinery.

Queens Man Dies In House Fire
Tonight all that lingers along 31st Street in Astoria, Queens, is the sound of hammering and a sense of sorrow.Workers spent the night boarding up a home destroyed by fire. Amongst the charred remains still visible from the street are record albums, a singed recliner, and a staircase, still standing but seriously burned; a silent sign of how furious this deadly fire was.
Fire victim George Samaritis lived here with his wife, neighbors say.Police say the 66-year-old Queens man died in the early afternoon fire that destroyed his two story house on 31st Road, in Astoria.His wife survived.
The couple owned a nearby pizzeria on 21st Street for more than thirty years.Tonight the shop was packed but not with customers.It was filled with grief stricken family members too upset to talk to reporters tonight.
Police responded to a report of a fire here at 11:59 this morning.Upon arrival they found victim George Samaritis inside the home unconscious and unresponsive.An ambulance crew took him to Mount Sinai Hospital of Queens, where he was pronounced DOA.
Two other people in the home at the time were treated for minor injuries as were two firefighters.An investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing. Police say no criminality is suspected at this time.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

It would be easier to:
set up the new server with a new address,
install Fog from scratch,
transfer your images and snapins (just use something simple to transfer across the network then match the permissions with the old fog server),
transfer your database (use sqldump on old server, then import on the new server),
reset the passwords (this is the wooly bit that most people need help with as there are a few passwords scattered in various config files),
Then switch the IP addresses of the two servers and see if it works, the clients shouldn't know the difference. If you are using DNS entries then you'd have to switch the DNS entries.
I've done this before, and along the way have broken pretty much every part of it but normally a mixture of common sense, checking the fog forum, and comparing the old server to the new one will get the job done.

Like many couples who end up exchanging vows to part only upon death, my husband and I are a study in contrasts. He is loud. When I attempt to project the Voice of Authority, I end up sounding like the Incredible Shrinking Woman, holding forth from a raft of dish detergent bubbles swirling down the drain. He is gregarious and content to be the center of attention. I am happy not to encounter a member of the human race for an extended length of time (my family excepted). I could not go without music for more than a few days. My husband is a shameless admirer of the Bay City Rollers. (You may argue, but the latter example is a stark contrast).
This is not to say that we do not, as the politicos say, share daylight on many issues. Dinner at the family table most weeknights is a must. Books are highly valued, and television shows – not so much. And, probably most importantly, the more twisted the sense of humor, the better. That is why we shared a much needed laugh recently when I presented my husband with his Father's Day Card. This is what was imprinted on the card:
When I look at you,
I see a wonderful family man.
It shows in all you do for us each day
as a husband and a father.
My husband opened the card and commented on how lovely it was. "Really?" I inquired. "But it's so simple, so plain." "Exactly," my husband responded. "You think I don't know from shopping for cards for you?" he teased. Then, in a serious tone he added, "This kind of card is hard to find." Like me, my husband recognizes the fine line between a sweet, realistic sentiment and overkill. Crossing that line makes all the difference. My husband regaled me with examples of the schlocky innards of the cards he passed over for Mother's Day: "When I gaze upon our children, I feel eternally grateful that I chose you to be the mother of my children. "I owe all my happiness to you, the mother of my children."
Man, we shared the best laugh. How do couples with any sort of history actually present each other with this drivel? Someone should come up with a line of cards called Real Life. For Father's Day: "I value you even though you don't know how to fix things around the house, you refuse to get more than one estimate, and it ends up costing us lots of money. I got over it a long time ago because you got over the piles of shoes and handbags loitering at the entryway of our home." "Even though I disagree with you that Major League is appropriate viewing for our elementary school children, I still think you're a great dad. After all, you take all three kids shopping for shoes."
For Mother's Day: "You make great rice. Seriously, you don't even need a rice cooker. But would it kill you to make me some roast potatoes every once in awhile? I am an Ashkenazic Jew. I NEED potatoes." "Thanks for doing homework with the kids for two years. You're the best!"
People would totally buy those. TOTALLY.

"Well, to be honest I think I'm a better short story writer than a novelist. Novels I find very hard, hours and hours, weeks and weeks, of conscious thought - whereas short stories slip out painlessly in a few days."
"I had written about a half-dozen short stories, and they started to feel more like part of one novel."
"It's one of the classic works of this period. The novel itself stands up on its own, and as a result of that, you're going to have a great deal of material as an offspring."

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

INTTRA plans to roll out a series of new links on its e-commerce platform over the next few months that will enable customers to buy ancillary ocean shipment services, such as the cargo insurance link unveiled this week.
Through electronic links on the network, shippers and freight forwarders will be able to buy services related to their ocean shipments with a mouse click that transmits the details of the shipments they have already booked on carriers through INTTRA's e-booking portal.
INTTRA this week added a link that enables shippers to purchase cargo insurance from the marine insurance specialist, FP Marine Risks, a broker that lays that risk off at competitive insurance rates with underwriters at Lloyd's of London.
"Cargo insurance is the first of a series of member services and capabilities that INTTRA is adding to add to the value that a shipper or a carrier receives by participating in the network," said Sandra Moran, INTTRA's vice president of industry and product marketing.
INTTRA picked FP Marine Risks because it specializes in marine insurance products and because it offers global insurance coverage and claims handling. London-based FP Marine already offered customers the ability to purchase various kinds of marine insurance through its Web site and was able to integrate the INTTRA platform into its online insurance systems.
The purchase of cargo insurance is almost completely a manual process currently and can take several days to complete, which means that a small forwarder can lose the business if it can't include the cost of insurance in its bid. "This was coming up as one of the processes that was causing pain for the shipping community," Moran said.
INTTRA is negotiating with several other outside companies that will link into the network to provide similar services in the "very near future," but declined to identify them. "If you think about why anyone would be interested in joining a network or becoming part of something bigger, this is one of the reasons," she said.
She said that as what she called the "largest shipping network in the world," INTTRA is able to use customers' collective buying power to negotiate freight rates or insurance premiums at levels that are based on its total volume of shipments and thus more competitive than the volume of an individual shipper. This gives smaller freight forwarders access to rates comparable to those offered by the largest logistics providers, she said.
Although massive overcapacity in the global insurance market has already led to a multiyear decline in insurance premiums, "the INTTRA network itself does such significant volume that FP Marine can offer a reduction in premiums below what they can offer somebody that just comes to them," Moran said.
While she declined to identify the new cargo service links that INTTRA plans to roll out in the coming months, she said they are services customers have been requesting. "We look at our customers' complete business process and where we find particular pain points that we felt are in keeping with INTTRA offerings, those are opportunities that we're pursuing on behalf of the shipping community," she said.

I wouldn't call Putin a great leader by Western standards, but he has held Russia together. He is a strongman I will admit, but I believe Russia needs a strongman, Russia isn't really ready for democracy yet. Now I'm not hating on democracy, all countries deserve democracy, but some aren't ready for it yet. Read about how polarized Russian politics are, we have Nazis, and Communists, better to have a moderate than one of those in my opinion.
Putin is the last barricade against NWO, all western countries try to destabilize power gaining Russia, Great man wish him to beat the devil of USA and stop all cony wars inflicted by them. If Putin was not there, there would be at least ten more military conflicts around the globe.
He is in charge. He is not a corporate puppet (hint Mr O). The country was on the brink of death when he took it over and it's grown like crazy. There are problems in Russia and lots of them. But one step at a time is better than nothing.
Very smart and love his motherland, that is what is needed for every man to follow his example. I wish my country will have leader like him, The people choose him and it is obvious. It is important to recognize that he knows how to control and how to rule the government.
He is leading his emerging capitalistic nation into a superpower. He is doing it despite the poor infrastructure handed to him by a communist state. He is dealing with the evils of radical Islam without entirely alienating them. He is part of the G20 and now a leader of the group. Russia is opening is businesses to the west and allowing the west to invest in his country to improve the economy. He is rationally developing his nations military without bankrupting his economy. He has opened up freedom of religion in his nation and welcomes others to enter, worship, and flourish.
I wish Putin was a President in my country. No gay propaganda, no gay parades. Keeps peace in the world while we are on the edge of World War III. If he can`t stop American President from playing a war - no one can. Obama cares of resources, and sends his people to die for nothing.
Mr. President of Russia.
I am very grateful to Mr. Putin for standing strong against Obama and his illegal administration. Obama is an enormous embarrassment to The True American Patriot and I pray that Mr. Putin does not lump us all into the Obama category... Obama and the government have gone rogue and no longer represent the will of the people. We are currently preparing to overthrow this government of criminals and traitors. Signed Kelli D Gordon of Texas USA
As a citizen in the Western Nations, I realize that Russia is dramatically exaggerated as the devil-spawn in our area. That's why I took to learning the Russian language, so I could hear what Russians say for themselves. Now, I don't know all that much about history in Russia, but from what I have been able to see, I actually like Putin as a leader, and the Russians as a people. Sure, Russia may not be perfect, but they're doing a better job than the US at this time, and Putin seems more sane than most National leaders I know of today.
One of few world leaders who has his country in his heart. Strong, uncompromising, intelligent, hard working and fighter for equality and working class. Not controlled by anyone and not afraid to stand up to rich elite. Brought Russian economy from brink of collapse to very strong position and reinstated pride among ordinary Russians. Every country should have one Putin at the top.
Today we see the new rise of my country under a strong President Putin, who has managed to create a strong economy and industry. Russians today are reacher then any other European nation. (just go to European best resorts and see, how many Russians are there).
The first thing that Putin did in the office was, that he restored the Soviet Anthem with the new lyrics. That was very symbolistic for the whole nation, because our Anthem symbolizes the greatness of Russia, that Putin was going to bring back.
He managed to overcome the problem of the external debt. Russia today doesn't borrow money from anyone, it gives money to loan to other countries. Just compare it to the U.S, that has an external debt, that is trillions and trillions of dollars.
Putin boosted the industrial development of the country. Just for example, after 13 years of Putin's management Russia has 25% of world's gun market (the same 25% has the US, other countries share other 50%). The most modern technologies are used to design and assemble world's best guns, helicopters, planes. 80 percent of civilian cars in Russia are manufactured in Russia. Russia designs, manufactures and launches most of spaceships every year.
Putin has completely destroyed Chechen terrorists, that led to the end of the Chechen war. Today Chechnya is completely restored and nothing there reminds people about the terrorist occupation.
Our President has started the project of the Eurasion Union, that is going to be created in a few years. Russia, Belorussia and Kazakhstan have signed all documents and are currently working on creation of the new version of Russian Empire/Soviet Union, that will have the same currency, market, economy and political ideas. I think, that more and more countries will join the Eurasion Union to oppose future challenges.
Putin's Russia is a country of the traditional values. The role of religions is very important in our country. 75% of Russians are Russian Orthodox Christians, other religions are also highly respected. Russian city of Kazan is the best example of Russian tolerance, 50% of people there are Christians and 50% are Muslims. They don't have any conflict and respect traditions of each others. The Cathedral of all religions was built in that city.
Putin does represent Russia as a country that cares about the world's stability and peace. The best example is the current situation in Syria. Russia does not support an idea of giving weapons to the Syrian terrorist opposition by the Western countries. Unfortunately, most of the Western countries don't agree with us, that is why so many innocent people are murdered there every day.
People in Russia have elected him 3 times, because they see the best results of his work. If Putin participates in the Presidental elections of 2018, I will vote for him.
I understand, why Putin is demonized in Western media. They just want one more tragedy for my country, like it was in 1917 and in 1991.
Did everyone forget the anti-gay laws that were put in place? That's sick! At least we as a country and moving towards equality. Russia's "great leader" is bringing them far down and using propaganda to mess with their minds while he's at it. He's a dictator and like a modern Hitler.
Look at what he is doing. He has invaded Ukraine and he is just a bad leader in my opinion. And he has all these little boys saying he is the greatest ever and that there is none better than him but they're wrong bunch of little girls who say that.
I would state that he isn't a strong leader not he is any good at being part of the G20, in fact he was kicked out. Countries have blackballed him because of his conquest of the west of trying to build up a country and go back to the day's of the Soviet days of former Russia. He is a puppet for anyone who will give him money aka; His palace by the sea. Ex: KGB and who would want that?
He doesn't support peace but sits by and encourages the opposite. The reason Russia went into Ukraine was because Putin wants to return Russia back to the Soviet Union. He is doing this by taking down/ back one country at a time quietly through supporting rebels. He isn't silly. Russia supports rebels who wishes to occupy other countries. Putin could easily have prevented what is still going on in Europe. He could easily have put in safety measures to have enabled the inspectors to inspect the Malaysian aircraft but he didn't. He would rather the Cold War return where the Russian people live in fear where they discouraged to speak out and where they are forbidden to leave Russia safely and of their own free will if they choose to. Does a good leader increase energy prices so high to another country that people die of cold? That isn't a good leader, that is a dictator.
Hitler was arguably a strong leader. Just think about the consequences of the actions of that maniac!
In my opinion Putin is a self-centred, power hungry egotist, obsessed with demonstrating his own importance to the rest of the world, not to mention a very guillable Russian population.
Time will tell!

I feel that he is more of an out- for- self guy than a leader of Russia. Why is he like that I don't know but Putin is not the leader I would want. He is suppose to help the people of Russia NOT be some Macho-me guy. He is Practicly Big headed.
Vladimir Putin has become somewhat of a caricature internationally, because of his authoritarian style and images of him shirtless on horseback or catching fish with his bare hands. Domestically, he has been widely criticized for running a mafia-style administration that is filled with corruption. Although he has overseen wide improvements in the Russian economy, he is seen as a dictator by many in his own country.
1) He's invading Ukraine.
2) He isn't helping Russia.
Even though Putin may look like a powerful ruler, he is just looking tough. He has pictures to make him seem such an invincible person even though he doesn't help Russian people.
Okay you get my point, so... That's it now!

Sure, many found it to be polarizing in its experimental approach, but sonically, Yeezus was something that Kanye had been building up to for years. The Yeezus Tour then made it all come to life, now, it's like…okay, what's next?
The internet has been swarming with theories on Ye's eighth album. Lists (like this one!) have pieced together bits of information coupled with what we, as Kanye fans, can only "hope" to find on the album. This list, however, is #factsonly — err, as far as we know.
Idolator is bringing you the ten things to expect from Kanye West's upcoming album: From artists he's working with to sounds that you can expect, we've gathered all the intelligence up until now.
Before anything though, let's get this out of the way: No Kim Kardashian cameo (yet), or even rumors of a North West appearance. (It would be pretty awesome to have either or both on the album, though!) For now, just keep watching the "Bound 2″ video. Check out our 10 things to expect after the jump. More »

U.S. Census Bureau Daily Feature For December 7
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily "Profile America" feature from the U.S. Census Bureau:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110428/DC91889LOGO)
Profile America — Friday, December 7th. This weekend, many households across the country will set up their Christmas trees. About one-fifth of homes still put up and decorate a real tree each year. Almost half of U.S. households now use artificial trees to decorate for the holidays. Many of those trees do annual duty for many years, returning to attics and garages to wait for the next holiday season. The remaining homes do not use a tree for the holidays. China was the leading foreign source of artificial Christmas trees imported into the U.S. for the first nine months of last year, about $80 million worth.

NORTHERN CLIME: Forget about the cold; Finland is hot this season.
On Wednesday, the collective Pre Helsinki is to host a presentation of five Helsinki-based emerging designers at a showroom in the Marais neighborhood. Talents include Satu Maaranen, the 2013 Hyères Festival Grand Prix recipient, plus Siloa & Mook, Ensaemble, Lepokorpi and Sasu Kauppi.
Then on Sept. 30, the Finnish Institute on Rue des Écoles on the Left Bank, is opening the Instituutti store and café. Dedicated to Finnish design at the outset, it will start featuring Finnish fashion soon.
Meanwhile, the café is to serve classic Finnish brunch, including reindeer meat from Lapland and coffee from Coutume Café, the Parisian hot spot billed to be the supplier of the finest roasted beans in town.
— Laure Guilbault
