A Message From Teamsters General President Jim Hoffa
The first national Labor Day was celebrated six days after workers were killed in the Pullman strike of 1894. The federal government recognized the need to acknowledge the contributions of this country's workforce and declared the first Monday in September a national holiday.
We've come a long way from the conflict and strife that our predecessors in the labor movement successfully fought against. But today, we face forces that still want to destroy what workers fought so hard to achieve.
Wealthy corporations and fat-cat CEOs have always wanted to disrupt the progress of the middle class. We saw it then and we see it now. In the past year, corporate-backed politicians have mounted the most vicious anti-union attacks in memory. Government workers in Wisconsin and Ohio were stripped of their collective bargaining rights. Right-to-work-for-less laws to destroy unions are being pushed in New Hampshire, Michigan and Indiana.
The ultimate goal of these extremist politicians is to further concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few. After all, it's those wealthy few who pay for their political campaigns, court them when they're in office and hire them when they retire from public life. Giveaways and tax breaks for corporations are being underwritten by cuts to essential services like public education and health care in Michigan, Florida, Ohio and Wisconsin. Already those states' economies are suffering, with unemployment on the rise.
These elite few may have money, but we have the numbers. Traditionally, through our perseverance and will, we have prevailed. The labor movement has fought for and won the 40-hour work week, the weekend, anti-child labor laws and health insurance. Labor unions raise workers wages, give them a voice on the job and protect them from financial and medical insecurity. They help turn a job into a good job, which, in turn, creates more good jobs. Well-paid, secure workers spend money in their communities. They support local businesses, which can then grow and hire more workers.
As families gather around the barbeque or attend parades this weekend, I encourage Teamsters to do more than just remember those who have come before us. I call upon all Teamsters to honor the legacy of our ancestors by getting involved, staying educated and joining DRIVE. Unions will never be able to outspend powerful multinational corporations, but we can deliver votes to lawmakers who will work hard for working Americans.
This Labor Day, I hope all Americans remember that the hard work and sacrifice of working men and women is what makes this country great. And I hope all working men and women remember how much more we can achieve if we speak with one great and powerful voice.

Golfers collect the evocative names of glorious courses.
They float into our minds at odd moments like reveries--Pebble Beach, Muirfield, Royal Melbourne, Casa de Campo, Princeville, Valderrama. Like the faraway places their names elicit, they are part of our golf fantasy life. Someday we'll get there--to Carmel, Scotland, Australia, Dominican Republic, Hawaii or Spain. Båstad, Halmstad, Falsterbo, Barsèbäck and Ullna evoke nothing. Yet those five courses--all public, all fabulous, all within a half day's drive of one another in one of the world's most beautiful and sophisticated countries--are among the best in the world. In the next century, they will be part of our world golf mythology. Tourists will rave not only about the golf, but also about the salmon and aquavit, the stunning castles, the civilized citizenry, the bed-and-breakfasts on cliffs overlooking the sea, the luxe European shopping, the museums and galleries. But now, and perhaps for a little longer, both the unsurpassed golf courses and the tourist cornucopia surrounding them still seem to be a secret outside Sweden, which has become the best golf destination in Europe after Scotland and probably the best golf-plus-European-vacation destination including Scotland.
There must be a catch, you say. And there is. But just one, and it is this: If you seek adventure, don't go to Sweden. The Vikings may have loved risk, but modern Swedes prefer Ikea. You're not going to wander into a rebel uprising. Nobody's going to whisper in your ear in an Ystad café, "Wanna buy an AK-47 real cheap?" All the adventures are going to be on the golf course. Off it, everything is easier, cleaner, cheaper and calmer than any golf vacation you've probably had anywhere in the U.S. The scariest thing in Sweden is that after you leave the major cities, there's quite a bit of moose art.
For an American, Sweden may be the most congenial, least foreign-feeling country anywhere except Canada. Almost everybody speaks adequate English. More important, they like to speak it. Language barrier?There's barely an accent barrier. You might as well be in Minneapolis. In Sweden, I played with anyone the starter paired me with. All Swedes. All delighted to chat. All a pleasure as partners. You will never touch a flagstick in Sweden. After a week, I found myself muttering, "I'm going to beat one of these bastards to the stick just once."
That's all the bad news there is. What follows should go down very smoothly.
So just how good are the best courses in Sweden?I've covered golf for twenty-five years for the Washington Post and played most of the top one hundred courses in America. The five Swedish courses listed earlier--all with greens fees less than $75--are, as a group, more spectacular, more scenic, more fun and more various than the last five courses to hold the U.S. Open. Now don't go ballistic. The Swedish courses are not better tests of golf than Shinnecock Hills, Oakland Hills, Congressional, Oakmont and Olympic. Though tough and fair, the top courses in Sweden are not as brutal as USGA tracks. Which is another reason that you may like them even more.

Why was it you went into ministry again?
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves why we went into ministry in the first place. Odds are, it was not for the money. It was to make disciples and to raise up leaders. More than that, it was to make disciples who would go on to make more disciples who would go on to make more disciples. It was to raise up leaders who would raise up more leaders who would then go on to raise up yet more leaders. That's the vision of second Timothy 2:2:

Hi All, Last year I planted into the ground a Japanese maple that I had in a pot for probably 15+ years. It is about 4 foot tall and 6 foot spread. It transplanted just fine and a lot of the leaves fell off, then re-leafed just fine.....THEN, those little &%$&**&^ bambis came and ate all the leaves. I surrounded with fencing and it once again re-leafed......BUT, I don't want to have it fenced for the rest of its life, and I have a thought what to do. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK OF THIS SOLUTION: do you think the tied limbs would stay going up once I removed the stakes after a year or two?.it is fine if there are not lower leaves if I can have it without fencing. I feel like since it is mid January it is time to do this if folks think this will work--WHAT SAY YOU?---THANKS---Bob |

What kind of Japanese maple is it? That can make a real difference in its typical growth habit and how you may be able to protect it from deer down the road. Just off the cuff, I don't think what you propose is going to have much value. Without seeing the tree or knowing the variety this is all speculation but the tree sounds like it might be a smaller variety, perhaps even a weeping form. In which case, staking the branches upward is not going to produce the result you intend. Just a word or two on growth habits....... you can stake lower branches to a more upright position but it will greatly affect the beauty of the tree, which is to grow uninhibited in the form nature intended. And they will likely never be really vertical or ever above the reach of a hungry deer. Tree branches never grow higher on the tree than where they emerge initially - it is the trunk that elongates vertically. A better choice might be to remove lower reaching branches but with a 4' tree, that is somewhat of a moot point as well. You are going to be far better served by fencing the tree away from the deer predation or by using a deer repellant on a routine basis |

The League is dedicated to ensuring access to affordable, quality health care for all Americans. We believe that all Americans should have access to a basic level of care, including disease prevention, primary care (including prenatal and reproductive health), acute long-term care, mental health care and health promotion and education.
EDITORIAL NOTE: This guest blog post was written by Meryl Kessler, executive director, League of Women Voters of Massachusetts
EDITORIAL NOTE: This guest blog post was writteb by Anne Borg, Co-President, League of Women Voters of Massachusetts
Today's Supreme Court decision on contraceptive coverage dealt a serious blow to women's right to equal health care in America.
On March 25, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in two cases, Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. v.
LWVUS joined an amicus brief in a challenge to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by employers who maintain they do not have to provide reproductive health coverage based on religious beliefs of owners. LWV has long supported access to health care including reproductive health care for women.
EDITORIAL NOTE: This guest blog post was written by Julie Lowenberg, former president of the League of Women Voters of Texas
The League joined with other organizations concerned about women's reproductive health in submitting comments on regulations proposed by the Department of Health and Human Service (HHS) regarding preventive services under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Today, the League marks the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the United States. For decades, the League has championed Roe v. Wade, both for upholding the right of individuals to make their own reproductive choices and the constitutional right to privacy.
The League asked Senators to oppose an amendment to an upcoming Transportation bill that that would limit access to contraceptive services for women if any employer or insurance plan has a "religious or moral objection."

BEAVERCREEK, Ohio -- The Charleston Battery (4-1-0) claimed their fourth consecutive victory as they took a 1-0 win against the Dayton Dutch Lions (2-2-0) on Friday night at Beavercreek Stadium. Dayton struggled early and never recovered, as a lively crowd couldn't lift the Dutch Lions, who took their second consecutive defeat.
Early possession by the Dutch Lions in the first half failed to capitalize on a seemingly weaker left side of the Battery, although several overlapping runs led to potential opportunities which were all denied by the strong performance of the Battery's goalkeeper, Kevin Klasila. The Battery then took the lead in the 34th minute after an unfortunate handball in the box by Dutch Lions' Shane Smith led to a penalty kick, which was converted by Nicki Paterson for his second goal in as many games and a 1-0 halftime lead.
In the second half, the Battery elevated their play with defensive coverage that the Dutch Lions couldn't overcome. Early in the second half, the Smith sent in a deep corner kick which found Gregory Preciado's head, but the ball sailed high and over the crossbar. Charleston almost added a second in the 63rd minute, creating several tense moments in the Dutch Lions' penalty area, but Dayton goalkeeper Matt Williams wasn't troubled by a finish as his defense was able to clear the danger.
Dayton continued to push for an equalizer, Eli Garner pushing a dangerous through-ball to the middle of the Battery penalty area only for Charleston's defense to deny the opportunity. The Battery continued to play well defensively, and were able to withstand the late pressure applied by the Dutch Lions, claiming two wins from two on their road trip.
Clearly disappointed by the loss, Dayton Dutch Lions' coach Patrick Bal felt the Dutch Lions had possession for the majority of the game, but were unable to create enough good chances.
"Our lack of speed and precision left us with no true chances for the win," Bal said. "While I don't think we deserved to lose, I'm not sure we deserved a win either."

X Audio Database 0.1
X Audio Database is a software for storing information about all the audio files that you have on your system. In essence it is a database where the list of audio files are stored. This database is operated upon using a GTK based interface. The interface provides the way to add files to the database, remove files from the database, search the database, etc. This interface also provides a way to play the audio files using XMMS as a player. The interface currently only supports .mp3 files and displays the files using the Title, Artist and Album information on the ID3 tags present in the .mp3 files. The goal of this project is to expand this to other types of audio files, such as Ogg, etc.XAD is not a playlist or a replacement for XMMS' playlist. While it is true that it can interact with XMMS to get information about its playlist and to add/remove files into XMMS' playlist, XAD itself is just a database to store your files. This is especially useful when you have to search your collection of audio files for a certain file. The "Search" functionality of XAD provides you a way to search for files that match certain criteria. This "Search" functionality provides you a way to "create" a playlist based on whatever criteria is given.The database currently is just a text file. This will change soon enough to some other database, such as MySQL or such to facilitate easier and better searches.The interface is a "view" into the database. Although the idea of a view is not yet fully realized, it will be in the near future with the capability to provide multiple views into the database, using multiple windows that provide the same interface.
Thus it would be possible to search for one set of files on one interface (creating one "view") and another set of files on another interface (creating another "view").Only tested on FreeBSD for now. Also doesnt contain a 'configure' script yet. So Makefile has to be manually modified to get the right library paths.Here are some key features of "X Audio Database":· Display MP3 files using ID3 tags· Automatically store and retrieve the list of displayed files at the end and start of each execution.· Recursively add audio files from all subdirectories under a path into the database.· Selectively view files based on search criteria.· Send selected files to XMMS to enqueue or play right away.· Mark files that are in XMMS' playlist.What's New in This Release:· util.h (x_strcasestr): Prototype.· util.c (x_strcasestr): New function.· player.c (player_add_files): If xmms is not already playing, start playing it now. Also changed main.c (refresh_playlist_clicked): New function.(create_menubar): Added menu item "Refresh Playlist".· database.c (database_find): Use x_strcasestr instead of strcasestr since strcasestr is a FreeBSD4.7+ function.· LICENSE: Added BSD's license also since the program is using strcasestr from their libc.· TODO: Added more TODO items. Synced to webpage.

Parise, Wild skate past AvalancheThe Associated Press | April 29,2014AP Photo
Minnesota Wild left wing Zach Parise (11) reacts after scoring on Colorado Avalanche goalie Semyon Varlamov during Mondays NHL playoff game in St. Paul, Minn.ST. PAUL, Minn. Zach Parise scored early and late on tipped shots, and the Minnesota Wild tacked on two empty-net goals for a 5-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Monday night that sent the first-round playoff series to a decisive Game 7.
Parise and Mikko Koivu each had two assists. The teams will meet again in Denver on Wednesday night, with the winner taking on the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks in the Western Conference semifinals.
Parise scored just 49 seconds into the game and Mikael Granlund made it 2-0 later in the first period, but a costly turnover by Ryan Suter at the end of a failed 5-on-3 situation led to a short-handed goal for the Avalanche when Paul Stastny scored for the fourth time in the series.
Nick Holden got the tying goal in the second period for the Avalanche, but Parise stole the show for the home team. Parked in the crease with the season on the line, he took a shove in the back from goalie Semyon Varlamov and then outmuscled defenseman Erik Johnson for position on Koivus shot from behind the circle with 6:29 left to play in the game.
COLUMBUS, Ohio Evgeni Malkin had a hat trick and the Penguins almost blew a four-goal lead before holding on for the clinching victory in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series.
The Blue Jackets scored three times in a 4:52 span in the third period to turn up the pressure on the Penguins.
Pittsburgh awaits the winner of the New York-Philadelphia series, with the Rangers leading 3-2 going into tonights Game 6.
Brandon Sutter also scored and Matt Niskanen had two assists as the Penguins became the first team in the series to score first and win but barely. Marc-Andre Fleury made 24 saves.
Fedor Tyutin, Artem Anisimov and Nick Foligno scored late to thrill a crowd of 19,189 who stood and roared for the final 4 minutes.
The Penguins were hard pressed to just fight off the upstart Blue Jackets after goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who also had 24 saves, was pulled for an extra attacker with less than 2 minutes left to play in the game.MORE IN Wire SportsBURLINGTON-Evan Singletary drained a fade-away 3-pointer with 1.

96 Dunk to Burton
Cablegram PC127 PARIS, 31 August 1946, 12.05 p.m.
Our position on Economic Commission is very difficult. Our amendment of full text Article 64 Italy [1] received no support in debates and was voted out 15 to 2 with 3 abstentions.
Reason apart from U.S.S.R. bloc and opposition United Kingdom, United States and France was that other claimants fear to dispute with Russia before their own claims are considered.
We were subject to full blast from Molotov and Vishinsky.
No way of manoeuvering out of our position. In fact meeting this afternoon refused to defer final consideration of Section A of Article 64 until claims under Section B are considered. Canada moved this but only five supported. As result meeting Foreign Ministers yesterday seems that United Kingdom, United States and France have been directed to give immediate support to finally drafted articles. Significant that to-day they have come in immediately and briefly in support. This naturally has a big influence.
We will move amendment paragraph 3 of Article 64 Section A to make agreement for selection delivery etc. of reparations goods matters for agreement between U.S.S.R. and proposed reparations and restitution commission. This will revise first part of the original proposal. We are assured of some support for this but am not over sanguine of favourable vote.
Regard it as important that Mr. Beasley's final address in Plenary should fully cover the motives behind our amendments and make it clear that we have done what we could to bring reality into the treaties. Responsibility [2] adverse economic results rests on members of conference who allowed self interest in expediency to dominate their attitude and not on Australia.

With their unique ecosystem, the archipelago has some of the world's most spectacular wildlife on both land and water. Darwin formulated his theory of evolution in the Galapagos and you can expect close encounters with many species, including Land and Marine iguanas, Waved albatross, Blue-footed boobies, flamingos, Giant tortoises, Hammerhead sharks, Manta rays and sea lion. You literally come face-to-face with a huge array of inquisitive land and marine mammals and birds, many of which are habituated and seem to simply ignore their human visitors. Galapagos holidays are truly paradise to anyone who loves the thrill of seeing wildlife in its natural habitat. If you would like to see a particular species at a particular time of year on your Galapagos holiday, then do ask us for advice on when to go and which island to visit. Sea lion are the largest mammals that have reached these volcanic islands and a result, the birdlife here is prolific. Surrounded by thousands of miles of uninterrupted ocean, the islands are a natural breeding ground for seabirds, with many endemic species. The Giant tortoise is one of the most sought after of the reptiles and is native to seven of the islands. See our Galapagos Islands holiday calendar for a summary of what species to see in which month, on each of the islands. Holidays to Galapagos IslandsThe best way to see how species have evolved on different islands is to take a cruise. There are different boat sizes and cruise lengths. We offer the full range of Galapagos cruises as well as specific trips that are tailored for families, people who would prefer not to be with younger children and those who want a more active trip with diving and marine activities. The boats we feature on our Galapagos holidays range from those with a capacity of 20 passengers to the maximum of 100. The mid-sized to larger boats (carrying between 40 and 100 passengers) will generally have more public facilities such as lounges and Jacuzzis. In general, the larger the boat, the longer it may take for embarking and disembarking for shore excursions. The smaller boats have the advantage of landing at islands such as Tower Island where you can see red-footed boobies for example. They can also sail closer to shore and visit more isolated bays. On a typical Galapagos cruise holiday, the first excursion might start after an early breakfast and is likely to last for several hours. Passengers then return to the boat before it moves onto the next island or nature site. In the afternoon there is usually another landing and again, several hours spent ashore. At some nature sites there will be a choice of activity such as snorkelling, kayaking or excursions on a glass-bottomed boat. In the evening, dinner is preceded by a talk by one of the boat's naturalist, reviewing the day, and also previewing the next. Environmental sensitivityEnvironmental concerns are paramount on all our Galapagos holidays and cruises. The Galapagos National Park authorities limit the number of visitors to each island to just 100 per day, in groups no larger than 20. Many of the operators we work with have achieved accreditation for their environmental practices. Ask us for details. Land-based options & walking tours in the GalapagosHolidays to Galapagos don't have to be cruise based. If you want to visit the islands but don't want to spend too much time on a boat, there are some very good hotels in the archipelago, such as the Finch Bay Eco Hotel and the Galapagos Safari Camp, which operate day excursions to nearby islands. If you'd prefer to explore on foot, there are also walking tours that operate on Isabela Island.

"Lovely recipe! I couldn't find non-alcoholic Creme de Menthe so I had to make homemade peppermint syrup with my own fresh mint (simple syrup steeped with a bunch of mint leaves and strained). Then I had to adjust for the sugar in the recipe etc, but it was easy to eyeball and guess at. It turned out great! I love the lime in it (probably would..."
"Thanks for this recipe! Great flavor! Only change we wanted was for the clarity of it to look more like the real thing. We found carbonated clear mandarin orange from Walmart "Clear American sparkling water" that kept it a lovely translucent color.
Great job!"
"These turned out great! I thought I'd try to use a pastry blender, but the hand mixer with the regular beaters worked fine. I think more than a scant teaspoon was more like it for me. I pressed a fleur-de-lis in each one. Really cute and easy to make! Thanks!"
"This is a beautiful recipe. I also mashed the blueberries into the milk to get the flavor of the blueberries throughout. My qualms with most BB muffin recipes is the lack of blueberry flavor in the muffin part. This step really makes it! I didn't make it to a whole 1/2c since I was short on blueberries. Again, as everyone says it is more cakey,..."
"I was glad to see a classic recipe for mousse here. This one seemed the most simple and true to form. I increased the chocolate because I was unsure of the conversion to cups, but 8 oz was pretty darn chocolaty and I might try backing off it just a bit. I also was not sure where to add the coffee so hopefully that will get amended. I tried a t..."
"Pretty good rendition! I love this at Starbucks! I had problems getting the froth right though. I thought I read somewhere that steamed milk should never be frothed with anything in it... 180 degrees and plain, then add the flavors, but maybe it was something else I did. But I do think I will try again and steam at least part of the milk plai..."
"This was a great recipe! It made well into bars in a jelly roll pan too! (recipe doubled and time shortened to 20-25 minutes) I didn't have any applesauce so I just added another apple with some brown sugar and made sure I mashed it a bit and left some chunky when I cooked down the apples. I also added a little clove and doubled the cinnamon too...."
"I was hoping to make a lighter version of the general tsoa's I'm familiar with, but this was not sweet enough. I appreciate that this was weight watchers, but I might try this again with apple juice instead of the broth... and maybe more garlic and real peppers instead of the flakes."
"We liked it... but it seemed to strong in soy sauce. I think we were looking for more of a General Tsoa's. I suppose that should have been what we looked for.. hed!hee! If you prefer that style of sauce (which it looks like lots of folks do) this is for you. If you like a sweeter, smoother, hotter version maybe not."

We had a question in the forum about defending the Outside Zone, or Stretch play, out of the 3-4 Defense. No matter what defense you are running the Outside Zone has to be defended the same way.
We're going to take a look at some shots of the San Francisco 49ers defending the Outside Zone against the Baltimore Ravens. The 49ers are running a 3-4 look against the Ravens on a 2nd & 7 when the score was 28-23 late in the 3rd Quarter.
Understand that the principles we're talking about here apply to just about any defense, not just the 3-4 Defense. Before we start, let me remind everyone that I know the players have names, I just don't care! If you want to watch the play yourself I suggest you check out NFL Game Rewind.
The Ravens motioned to a Trips Closed formation. The 49ers had run the short side corner over to the 2 receiver side. Obviously there's a lot of game planning and chess gaming going on when you have 2 weeks to prepare for the biggest game of your life. As the Ravens motion a receiver across, the 49ers shifted their defense.

"These will be perfect to let everyone that we love the most let them know just how thankful we are they spent our special day with us. I love that they have the design for these to match EXACTLY what our invitations look like. They'll be a wonderful reminder for a while of how beautiful everything for our wedding was! Absolutely love them!!"
"I was very impressed with the quality of the thank you cards we ordered! I absolutely love them! I have received lots of compliments."
"I created a customized design with colors that matched my wedding invites (aqua and coral). I love the tile band, it looks so classy and timeless. The card stock is strong and of great quality. I'm not crazy about the wedding paper divas logo on the back, but I understand that some companies need to advertise! Highly recommend this stationary. It is a *small* index size card, just in case you don't read the dimensions (as I don't!), but I still found there was plenty of room to write my thank you notes."
"Ordered these thank you cards, they arrived in no time. Can't wait to send these out!! I will definitely order more soon!!"
"Wow, wow, wow. I really just couldn't say enough nice things about the thank you cards. We had them personal used with our/my new last name instead of two first names like the example. We were both very happy with the results. I wanted to make sure we had a stack of thank you cards that matched our wedding stationery in advance of the wedding. Now we can get started with our "thank yous" right away after the big day....or at least right after the honeymoon."

text: I've come to the conclusion that it continues to get easier for me to eat healthy (most of the time) because I have learned how to make healthy options for some not so healthy meals. Growing up my favorite meal was breakfast. That was solely due to the fact that breakfast could be very similar to dessert like foods. Think pancakes, french toast, etc.

The 4-Hour 3D TV Torture Test
The average American watches more than 4 hours of TV per day. So what happens when you spend all that time watching 3D? PM editor Seth Porges decided to ignore manufacturer warnings and find out, while fellow editor Glenn Derene monitored his vitals.1:00 hr (Put down that second screen!)
An hour into watching Monsters vs Aliens on the Samsung TV, I grab my iPad, only to find that the screen is pitch-black through 3D glasses. (Samsungs engineers claim this is a result of the interaction between polarized shutter glasses and LCDs). Getting work done with 3D glasses on? Not going to happen.
2:00 hrs (Sit up straight!)
As I move on to Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, I begin to feel the first traces of eyestrain, and lie down to relax. But as I lower my head, the screen turns black on me again (darn you, polarized glasses!).
Sitting up, I notice another strange effect of the shutter glasses: The white wall behind the screen seems to flicker distractingly. I scoot up to within 3 feet of the screenfar closer than Im used toand fill as much of my field of vision as possible with the TV. Okay, that works.
4:00 hrs (Final Stageacceptance)
After enduring two 3D movies and a dune-buggy game, Im done. I feel the early stages of nausea, and a mirror reveals that the glasses have left red marks on the bridge of my nose. But while I learned that those manufacturer warnings about the side effects of extended 3D watching are no joke, the sets did provide an almost theater-level experience, and Id jump at the chance to watch a movie or play a game in 3D againjust so long as I dont plan on reading, working or reclining at the same time. In an age of multitasking, this is one technology that requiresand rewardsyour undivided attention.

School Board member Omarh Rajah's recent remarks, including his assertion that the Board of Supervisors is "anti-youth," drew a range of reactions from the supervisors this week.
During a public hearing on the school system's proposed budget at the School Board's Feb. 9 meeting, Rajah, who represents the Matoaca district, said everyone was putting the blame for the budget situation "on us." In response to a speaker who said the county had asked for and not received a line-item budget from the school system, Rajah said school officials do go over a line-item spending plan with the supervisors.
"Don't let them put the spin job on you," he said. By law, the School Board has to "present everything" to the supervisors, he said, and if the supervisors say the School Board hasn't shared all the budget documentation, "they are lying to you."
He said he was "kind of getting a little bit ticked off" that residents were being given incorrect information.
"I've really got bigger issues to deal with than to lie to you all on public television," he said.
He encouraged the audience ask the Board of Supervisors to attract more businesses, and therefore a larger commercial tax base, to the county and give the school system its savings back. He also suggested that the audience ask the supervisors what values they have for the county's education system.
"I don't believe the Board of Supervisors are anti-education," he said. "I believe they're anti-youth."
Before closing the hearing, Chairman David Wyman said the budget process was "difficult" and everyone had opinions on "how these cuts should go." The School Board and supervisors have "stepped up the dialog between the two organizations" in recent months, he said.
"We are not all in alignment," he said, but another three months of work on the budget remain. "We are not done by a long shot, folks, and we appreciate all your input."
At the Board of Supervisors' Feb. 10 meeting, Heather Hart, a member of Citizens United for Responsible Government, said the group was tired of hearing one thing from the
School Board and another from the supervisors. Hearing Rajah's "rant" at the School Board's meeting the night before was "hurtful to the trust issue" that already exists, she said.
On Monday, Supervisors Vice Chairman Jim Holland said the supervisors "appreciate everyone's passion for this subject," as they are passionate, as well.
"We are working very hard with the School Board at this point," said Holland, who is a member of the county's budget and audit committee. "We all are very passionate about our youth, our schools. … We all are passionate about doing the best we can to serve everyone in the county well.
"I certainly respect and like Mr. Rajah, and thank him for his passion."
In a Monday e-mail, Matoaca District Supervisor Marleen Durfee said "these are very challenging times for both the county and the school system."
"However, it is imperative that we focus on the task in front of us and, as leaders, separate our identity from our ideas," she said. "The reality is that we are faced with the biggest cuts coming from the state and we will make tough decisions. We must concentrate on doing the best job under the circumstances and plan for upcoming years."
Also via e-mail Monday, Bermuda District Supervisor Dorothy Jaeckle said she felt county citizens elected representatives on both boards to find solutions to these complicated budget issues, and "I don't think calling people liars and anti-youth moves us any closer to those solutions."
"Judging by some of the comments Mr. Rajah has made at the last couple of School Board liaison meetings, I don't think he has a full understanding of the budget process," she said. "I would encourage Mr. Rajah to engage seriously by becoming expert in the budget process, understanding the fiscal pressures across all the departments of the county and state, and rolling up his sleeves with us to help find a comprehensive solution.
"The fact is that our financial situation will not allow us to approach the crafting of the budget as we have in the past. … We have to seriously consider what core services we as a county require and what services, however well-intentioned they are, we will have to learn to live without, just as families do when they hit hard times, as many in our area have."
In a Sunday e-mail, Supervisors Chairman Dan Gecker declined to comment, saying that doing so would serve no useful purpose.

cancelation (plural cancelations)
- Alternative spelling of cancellation
Usage notesEdit
Rarely used outside the U.S. According to graphs that show the popularity of cancelation vs. cancellation in the U.S., cancelation is almost 3 times as common in the U.S. after the 80s.
British English spelling rules as regards doubling of final consonants when preceded by a vowel state that a final consonant after an E is generally doubled when further endings are added ('ed', 'ing', and other suffixes) ONLY when the vowel-consonant syllable is the stressed syllable in the root word. Examples: Compel > Compelling, Refer > Referring, Referral
Since the verb 'Cancel' is stressed on the first syllable then, in theory, the final L should not be doubled.
However, as in other cases, the U.S. spelling does not follow these rules. Both spellings, Cancelation and Cancellation, are however accepted as correct.

Message From the Chair
Welcome to the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Houston! At this time of year, it is a joy to welcome a new generation of bright young students into our classrooms and laboratories, even as we see our graduates stepping out into the big wide world. Our enrollments continue to grow strongly, especially in computer and systems engineering. Our faculty members are creating a whole new first-year experience and the early results are just terrific.
These are exciting times for the department. It is a period of renewal and rapid growth. This semester we have the pleasure of welcoming five new faculty members, and we now have 3 full-time instructors dedicated to world-class teaching. We invite you to join us on our Tier One journey!
We are committed to providing a world-class educational experience to our students. Our new UH Nanofabrication Facility consists of a state-of-the-art clean room built for education and research. Recently, we upgraded our undergraduate laboratories for nanotechnology, humanoid robotics, FPGA computing, wireless networking and cube satellites. Our senior design experience has been expanded to a full year, and we are building a new industry-led consortium to help define its future. I hope that you noticed our new solar panel array that incorporates micro-inverter technology. Our students can now use the real-time performance data from this array for their experiments.
ECE faculty members continue to excel in education and scholarship. Please join me in congratulating the many professors who recently received external awards, publications and promotions. Dr. Dmitri Litvinov won the Farfel Award (the university's highest honor) and was elected to the National Academy of Inventors. Dr. Zhu Han was elected IEEE Fellow. Dr. Don Wilton won the ACES Computational EM Award. Dr. Yan Yao won the Ralph E. Powe Award, and a grant from ARPA-e. Drs. Fritz Claydon and Stuart Long received the White House Award for the Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program, as well as the UH GK-12 Excellence in Group Teaching Award. Eight out of the 23 UH inventors were from ECE this year. Diana de la Rosa-Pohl won the University Teaching Excellence Award. Dr. Dave Shattuck won the UH Career Teaching Award. Dr. Robert Provence won the Outstanding Lecturer award. Drs. Wei-Chuan Shih and Saurabh Prasad won NASA Early career awards. I have a hard time keeping up.
Our research funding has grown over the past year, and we have been busily starting new projects and renovating our research laboratories. These are exciting times. I am thrilled by the exuberance and excellence of our recent hires. Their work has been featured on Nature, The Wall Street Journal, Science, The Economist, PBS, ECE Source, the Discovery Channel, and NPR, among others. Our students will be thrilled to learn from these faculty members.
Feel welcome to explore our website. Your feedback is always welcomed. Better yet, stop by and let's meet!
Best wishes,
- Badri Roysam

text: Since Intel released the Pentium 4 processor, there has not been a huge demand for aftermarket heatsinks. The major reason was that the solution provided by Intel (in boxed CPU sets) was an excellent performer, and unlike the AMD Athlon there was not a huge overclocking market to cater for. It was only since the introduction of the Socket 478 Pentium 4 (and the corresponding price drops) that the platform was considered viable by many. Now there is an increasing trickle of aftermarket coolers for the Socket 478 Pentium 4 - let's have a look at contenders from Evercool and GlobalWin to see how they stack up against the reference Intel unit.

Christmas party outfit under £100
Dress £30 (ASOS)
Boots £35 (ASOS)
Clutch £22.50 (on sale ASOS)
Necklace £10 (ASOS)
Grand total: £97.50
Boots £35 (ASOS)
Clutch £22.50 (on sale ASOS)
Necklace £10 (ASOS)
Grand total: £97.50
I was contacted by the people behind fashionvouchers.com to see if I wanted to take part in a blogger challenge to create an outfit for a Christmas party for under £100 – all from one of the retailers they work with.
Since I'm pretty much the worlds biggest ASOS fan, that was an obvious pick for me and since I do love a good imaginary shop I decided to put together an outfit that I'd be more than happy to wear.
I chose the dress as the deep red colour is nice and festive and a change from the predictable black, the style of the dress means you can not freeze your bum off in the cold as your arms are covered and it's not too tight in case you want to have that second portion of stuffing… I paired it with a few fairly simple accessories, all with a pop of gold to bring a bit of festive bling.
The boots I loved as they are simple, but with a bit of an evening edge – I'll always pick boots over other shoe styles as just find them so much comfier and the last thing you want when on a night out is to be thinking of painful feet.
The clutch is one I've loved for ages, love the little gold horses studded all over and the tassel. It's big enough to stash the essentials but not so big you look like you're lugging Santa's sack around with you…
Finally, I just added a simple gold statement necklace, I wanted something that would stand out, but not over power the red lace dress.
The final touch would have to be some false lashes, and a slick of some matching red lipstick and you're good to go!

Love the choices, I have a similar dress from ASOS and it is very comfortable- you can fit some thick tights underneath too. Always a bonus!

Heading into Week 9, the Redskins appeared to be in a decent position. Despite their five losses, the team was hosting a 1-6 Carolina Panthers team at FedEx Field and a win would give them momentum entering the Week 10 bye. The season was far from dead.
Try again.
Cam Newton and the Panthers established an effective rushing attack and didn't look back — limiting their mistakes and keeping the Redskins in check. The Panthers would go on to win the game 21-13 and move the Redskins to 3-6 on the season.
1. Foul offense reeks for second consecutive week
75 plays, 24 first downs, 337 yards, no turnovers. Not a terrible stat line.
3-of-15 on third down. One touchdown. Terrible stat line.
For the second time in as many games, the Redskins failed to set a rhythm on offense and their 13 total points was a direct result. Alfred Morris had 76 yards on the ground, but they came by way of just 13 carries. Meanwhile, Robert Griffin III had an inaccurate game made possible by a combination of poor throws and a few drops.
After starting the season hot and watching the offense climb league ranks, the Redskins have fallen flat over the past two weeks. As fans, the only hope is that the bye week helps to get players and coaches back on track.
2. Will the defense be able to stop anyone, ever?
Whether people want to believe it or not, the Redskins played some of their best defense of the season against the Panthers on Sunday.
Allowing just 330 total yards (82 of which came on one missed assignment) and 18 first downs is a pretty decent outing. Not to mention, Jim Haslett actually dialed up some blitzes that helped to create that poor excuse of a pass rush you saw.
But what it ultimately comes down to is just how horrid this Redskins defense is. For the second straight week, we watched as the Redskins struggled to stop the run — allowing the Panthers nearly five yards per carry (4.8). The secondary was once again brutal, but this time arguably more on player technique than actual scheme. And has anyone picked up on the poor tackling from this group?
This doesn't mean that I'm suddenly pro-Haslett. However, I will say that a lot of Sunday's loss to the Panthers fell on poor performances by individuals. A missed assignment here, poor technique there, a missed tackle over there. That kind of thing doesn't fall on the coordinator.
3. Is Mike Shanahan giving up on the season?
If this isn't already the talk of the town, it soon will be.
Mike Shanahan's comments following Sunday's loss had 'QUIT' written all over them. Although it's hard to accept your head coach throwing in the towl, that's exactly what it sounded like following a game that Shanahan deemed a 'must win'.
"Now you're playing to see who obviously is going to be on your football team for years to come. Now we get a chance to evaluate players and see where we're at," Shanahan said, via Cindy Boren of the Washington Post. "Obviously, we're not out of it statistically, but now we find out what type of character we've got and how guys keep on fighting through the rest of the season."
Say what?!
The Redskins may have six losses, but they've yet to play the Cowboys or Eagles at all this season — both division opponents that have five and four losses respectively. And while the NFC East leading Giants may have beaten the Redskins in their first matchup this season, they're still tallied with three losses themselves.
Following NBC's "Football in America" broadcast on Sunday night, host Dan Patrick asked former NFL coach Tony Dungy what he thought of Shanahan's latest comments. As one of the most respected guys in the league, Dungy's words would certainly go a long way.
"Would you ever say that as a coach nine games in?" Patrick asked.
"I would not," Dungy replied. "We're still battling. We've got a chance. The Denver Broncos were 1-4 last year and made the playoffs. I would never tell my team that."
Ding, ding, ding!
Former New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison also weighed in, respectfully giving his opinion from a player's perspective.
"If you told me that, I would look at you and say, 'Coach, we have seven games left. Why are you giving up on us?' " Harrison said. "Even if you look at our division, with the Cowboys, the Eagles, they're not very good. The Giants may be the best team in our division. But we still have a chance."
And if the division is within reach, then the season itself certainly is too. Shanahan's comments, on the other hand, are telling.
4. Robert Griffin III is human
Bless his heart. Robert Griffin III is the true quarterback. He has an off day (we all do) and he goes out and continues to fight. Then, following the game, he shoulders all of the blame in a postgame presser — just exactly how it's written in books.
But the truth is, Griffin isn't to blame. Did he play great against the Panthers? No. Was he lights-out against the Steelers? Hardly. But he's playing well enough to win ball games.
Just because he's not putting up the same numbers we saw in the first couple weeks of the season doesn't mean Griffin deserves to be criticized for the Redskins' 3-6 record. He's limiting his mistakes, he's extending plays, and most importantly, he's the only thing giving the Redskins a chance.
I won't hate a guy for being hard on himself and wanting to perfect his craft. But deep down inside, I hope the rookie understands that he clearly isn't the problem in Washington.
5. The Brandon Banks Experiment
I think it's fair we drag the whole Brandon Banks Experiment out to the curb on trash night this week. Not that I don't want the guy to do well or find his niche in the NFL, but this season has been a disappointment.
Starting out the summer, I was completely against keeping Banks on the roster and I didn't include him on my final 53. But as the offseason progressed and camp reports became available, I thought including him in the offense could keep him in Washington. And as the Shanahans implied back then, Banks would need to earn a roster spot as a receiver.
Banks has shown well on a few returns this season, but not nearly enough to justify the roster spot. During Sunday's game, Banks allowed a punt to bounce in front of him, over his head, and then decide to field it. The play ultimately led to a loss of about 15 yards and it was the final straw for me.
6. Prepare for change
Before Mike Shanahan's postgame comments, I thought the Redskins were due for some coaching changes come summer.
As of a couple weeks ago, I thought one particular coaching change could show itself prior to season's end.
Now I'm prepared for even bigger coaching changes.
In my opinion, it's clear that Jim Haslett won't have a job in Washington next season. Make what you want of the "reported" contract extension, but I can't see him being retained after the three years we've witnessed from this defense under his reign.
And perhaps it's reading a little too much into Shanahan's comments, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a change at either head coach or offensive coordinator. Mike Shanahan isn't getting any younger and he's clearly disgruntled with a 3-6 record that isn't nearly as bad as he's making it.
That said, people should keep Kyle Shanahan in mind too. Although many believe that Mike would never fire his son, who's to say that it's up to Mike? At the end of it all, Bruce Allen is the general manager and I believe his job is safest. Maybe you thought Kyle was the head coach in waiting, but losses can alter plans very quickly.
By the way, have you heard that Sean Payton's latest contract extension in New Orleans was voided by the NFL?
I'm not saying. I'm just saying.

Seriously, What Is Even Going On: Last.fm Hacked Too
Did every single cybersecurity professional on the Internet go on vacation this week? We're starting to wonder, because not 36 hours after breaches at LinkedIn and eHarmony comes word of another at Last.fm. Can't we trust anyone to keep our information secure? Apparently not.
Earlier today, Last.fm alerted users that the company was "investigating the leak of some Last.fm user passwords." From the phrasing, we can't tell whether it's connected to the LinkedIn and eHarmony hacks, or just a really unfortunate coincidence: "This follows recent password leaks on other sites, as well as information posted online. As a precautionary measure, we're asking all our users to change their passwords immediately." Well, at least they preempted.
The LinkedIn and eHarmony breachers were connected–same hacker–so the obvious question is whether Last.fm is the third victim of a cybercriminal having a really great week. But this isn't entirely out of the blue, as it sounds like Last.fm has been having some issues with user information lately. This post from Knapster01 (a customer support manager for the company) indicates that as far back as May 16, someone unsavory had gotten ahold of users' email addresses, as Last.fm was investigating a flood of sketchy spam from gambling sites. He wrote: Read More

The Cosmetics Cop Team strongly suspects that the interest in this product line from Finland is its prestige packaging, coupled with a relatively attractive price point. This is an eye-catching brand that really stands out on drugstore shelves; however, these products aren't really all that inexpensive, especially in comparison to products from Olay, Neutrogena, or RoC. In the United States, you'll find Lumene products at most CVS drugstores as well as at Ulta, Target, and Walgreens. Although the Cosmetics Cop Team loves to find and recommend inspired skin-care and makeup products at reasonable prices, this line isn't one of them.
Two major shortcomings are: (1), the jar packaging, which means any state-of-the-art ingredients in those products won't remain stable once the jar is opened because they deteriorate in the presence of air, and (2), most of Lumene's formulas contain only a dusting of the superstar ingredients they brag about. Vitamin C, ceramides, antioxidants, peptides, and the like are all essential, brilliant ingredients for skin, but when only minute amounts are included, your skin isn't getting much of the good stuff.
What it comes down to is this: Shopping Lumene shortchanges your skin, leaving it needing, and deserving, far better. A bargain isn't a bargain if it isn't the best possible care for your skin. What good is saving money on skin care if your skin is left wanting and, in fact, needing more?
Aside from the jar packaging and the paltry amount of important skin-care ingredients, there are other limitations, adding to this line's woes. If you have acne, skin discolorations, or uneven skin tone, you need to look elsewhere.
From a marketing point of view, Lumene capitalizes on the erroneous notion that age is a skin type, so they group their products according to decades. Complete nonsense! Age is not a skin type, nor is race, height, weight, or ethnic background. Regardless of your age, if you have acne, rosacea, dry skin, oily skin, sun damage, or blackheads, the same ingredients that work for someone in their 30s will work for someone in their 40s, 50s, or 60s. There isn't a single piece of research showing that any specific ingredients or formulations are better for skin depending on your age.
Like a vast number of cosmetics companies, Lumene leads you to believe their products are all natural and loaded with beneficial plant extracts, in this case, from the remote wilderness of Finland. Nothing could be further from the truth. These products are loaded with synthetic ingredients. That doesn't make them inherently bad, it just makes the marketing claims obnoxious and misleading.
For those intent on exploring what this Finnish line has to offer, despite the fact there isn't much here worth your attention, your best bet is to stick with the products for sensitive skin, which are truly fragrance-free, and the cleansers. Oh, and if you want to find out if the cult classic status of Lumene's Blueberry Curl mascara is deserved, look no further: It most certainly is!
One more comment: Many Lumene products contain an extract or oil from the Arctic cloudberry plant. Although there is research proving this plant has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it is far from the only one, and isn't even close to being the best for skin. The fact that Lumene chooses to highlight this plant is about marketing nonsense, because stories sell better than reality. Whether it is from the Amazon, the Swiss Alps, or the Himalayas, geographic location is not what makes a plant extract of any kind superior for skin.
For more information about Lumene, call (888) 253-8916 or visit www.lumeneusa.com.
These wipes leave skin nice and are as they say, "does not dry or strip skin, no residue & fragrance-free." Also a decent size & thick enough. However, the price of $2.99 must be for only 10 wipes, it costs $6.99 for 25 wipes. In addition, they are difficult to find, most stores that carry Lumene products, do not carry theses wipes.
