Located a short distance from highway 128 on 20 acres with meadows, stream, game and forest, this quiet, modern cottage is a retreat from the bustle of city life. In the heart of the Anderson Valley vineyards, this is a perfect place to rest and rejuvenate. We built this cottage for ourselves in 2009 and now we are willing to share it with those singles or couples who desire a place not too far away, but like another world of peace and quiet. The cottage is about 15 minutes from Boonville, a few miles north of Philo; we are very near both Hendy Woods and Navarro Redwood State parks. The property is surrounded by a great many wine tasting rooms and craft studios. It is close to the Mendocino coast – and yet secluded. There is swimming in the nearby Navarro River. The Anderson Valley is much warmer then the coast, but we are a short drive (through the redwoods) to the charms and restaurants of Mendocino, Elk, Little River and Albion. Shopping and restaurants are found in nearby in Philo and historic Boonville. Fresh and organic fruit and vegetables are available in season (as close as the orchard on the property and Blue Meadows Farm next door).
The cottage is new, modern, with all amenities and supplies. We share the acreage with a 4 bedroom geodesic dome vacation home that belongs to our daughter and her family, but there is plenty of privacy for all. We have a barbeque, a picnic table, a full kitchen with dishwasher, dishes and utensils. There is one bedroom, a full bath with separate tub and shower and a living-dining room with fireplace with gas fire, wifi, a TV for DVDs only, and a radio-CD player with a large, eclectic collection of CDs. The cottage is very eco-friendly, being made of structurally integrated panels (which keep the house warm in the winter and cool in the summer), with solar electricity and radiant heating. The property has a fruit orchard. Mill Creek runs through the land very near the cottage, there is a gazebo in the shade on the creek and a suspension bridge across the creek.

We first fell in love with the rural charm of the Anderson Valley about 15 years ago. The slower pace of life, the opportunity to stop for a casual conversation with fellow Valley dwellers, and the physical beauty hooked us. We love the grazing sheep, apple orchards, and vineyards. The rolling hills, native oaks, and majestic redwoods seal the deal. After many years of short stays in the Valley, in 2007 we set out to build our own place. We worked with Toby Long Associates and CleverHomes in San Francisco on the design, and local Valley craftsmen for the construction, which was completed in 2009. We're thrilled and love the Valley and our Cottage a little more each time we stay.
Mal and Catherine purchased this cottage in 2009
The Anderson Valley is both beautiful and relatively uncrowded and unspoiled. It is restful, but never boring. It offers a wide variety of activities to suit most tastes. We rely on the Laughing Dog Bookstore in Boonville, the Anderson Valley Advertiser, a weekly newspaper, and KZYX, the local radio station, which have information about local events. You don't want to miss out on a bake sale!
The Cottage is ideally situated. It's convenient to highway 128, which gets you quickly to Philo, Navarro, Gowan's, the Apple Farm, and wineries, with Boonville only a bit further away. At the same time, it's quiet and far enough off the highway that we frequently see wild turkeys, quail, woodpeckers, deer, etc. If you keep an eye out, you might also see the fish that are slowly returning to Mill Creek, thanks to conservation efforts. We can work at the Cottage (wifi, fax and phone) and stay relaxed. This is important to us
Go wine tasting, relax, wade in Mill Creek, and enjoy the local produce

Tcl/Tk: The Swiss Army Knife of Web Applications
Sometimes the data you need doesn't come from the user. Product catalogs, maps, schedules and more all come from some sort of external data file, whether real databases like Oracle or Informix or something as simple as a delimited ASCII file. No matter what your data needs are, Tcl can help you out.
Flat files are the easiest to deal with. Open a file, read through line by line until you reach the end or find what you are looking for, then close the file. In Tcl, reading in a file line by line looks like this:
set f [open foo.txt r] while {[gets $f stuff] != -1} { # Do something with the line # of data (`stuff') } close $f
Just as in Perl or C, you create a file handle from which all subsequent operations work. The gets command grabs one line at a time from a file and stores it to a variable. If the return value from gets is 1, you've reached the end of the file. So what do you do with the data once you have it? For the most part, you're going to become fast friends with the split and lindex commands.
split breaks up a string, either character-by-character or at every occurrence of specified characters and returns a new list of the elements. If you want to access specific elements of the list, lindex allows you to specify the list and the element's position and returns that element's value. Note that elements are numbered starting at 0, so an index value of 1 points to the second element in a list.
A bit higher on the effort scale is processing a special database format, such as a dBASE file or some other defined database format. You may be fortunate enough to find existing filters for this kind of file (two different filters exist for dBASE files), but if you need to write your own, Tcl 8.0 handles binary data quite well. Use the read command to grab whatever size byte blocks you want, then use binary scan to quickly break up and format it.
If you're concerned about speed or already have a C routine to parse your external data, Tcl makes it easy to create new Tcl commands encapsulated in loadable libraries. For most functions, it's as easy as cutting and pasting into the library framework provided by Tcl and adding some Tcl-specific commands to create or set variables.
When you get to the top of the database world and are dealing with Oracle or Informix, you're already covered. Tcl extensions have been made for Oracle, Informix and probably others by the time you read this article. Most of them provide access to the SQL layer for the database, but you can also access the lower-level functions of the system. All of them are available on-line, although compiling them sometimes requires access to the commercial libraries shipped with your RDBMS.
One problem with basic CGI is that it doesn't provide for real persistence. Sure, you can use cookies, file-based data on the server side or append horribly long strings to the URL, but none of those is an ideal solution. In addition, if you're loading things like inventory data from a database, you have to account for initialization time and overhead every time the script is run.
In some situations, the best solution is to have a secondary server process running that shares data with Tcl through sockets in a true client-server fashion. In that way, your server could load the needed information and become a persistent data store, for whatever purpose. In Tcl, that's an easier task than you might expect. While the actual code is too lengthy to include in this article, I'll include an overview here and will be happy to provide additional details by e-mail (email@example.com).
Sockets in Tcl are designed to be easy to use. The socket command is used by applications wanting to establish a listening post on a port, as well as clients that want to connect to any server, Tcl or otherwise. How would you listen on a port? Just use:
socket -server sayHello 9999
Now you have a server listening on port 9999 that will execute the Tcl procedure sayHello whenever a new client connects. What if you want an asynchronous socket? Use:
socket -server -async sayHello 9999When clients want to connect to you, they just point to your IP address and port using the socket command:
socket 10.0.0.1 9999When sayHello executes, it receives three arguments: the socket channel your Tcl server has opened to the client, the IP address of the client and the client's port. You can configure the socket channel for the type of buffering and blocking you want, and you'll normally set up a fileevent for the channel. A fileevent is used to generate notification when the channel becomes either readable or writable (your choice or use both), so that you don't have to poll the socket for new data all the time. Now you and the client are ready to exchange information.
So, once you've decided on what your server will do, your CGI program can parse the data as usual, quickly establish a socket connection, and then let the server process the information.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Classic car drivers the safest
Comment on this storyIt may seem obvious - but now it's official. The owners of cherished and classic cars are the safest drivers in Germany, according to a survey by Dresden University for the VDA car industry federation.
The figures show that the owners of such older cars, many of which have been lovingly restored, drive much more carefully than the average motorist. Vehicles older than 30 years make up nearly one percent of the cars on German roads but are involved in only 0.1 percent of accidents.
Thirty-six percent of cars in Germany are less than four years old.
These account for 31 percent of all road accidents.
Technical defects also led to far fewer accidents among cherished classics (0.8 percent) than was the case with cars aged up to nine years old (1.5 percent).
The clean accident record of classic car drivers becomes even more apparent when road injury statistics are taken into account. Only 91 out of every 100 000 registered classic cars were involved in crashes that resulted in injuries.
Experts said the outcome was remarkable considering that classics seldom have the range of active and passive safety features, such as airbags and crumple zones, that modern cars have, and in some cases were not even fitted with seatbelts. - Sapa-dpa

- Outline of Our Research
- Transition metal chemistry
- New Oxide and Intermetallic Superconductors
- Compounds with low dimensional or frustrated magnetic spin systems
- Research Motivation
Outline of Our Research
In our group, we search for and synthesize new compounds, grow crystals, determine their crystal structures, and characterize their electronic and magnetic properties. We work closely with colleagues in theoretical and experimental condensed matter physics at Princeton, Columbia University, Bell Labs and many other labs around the world. We interact with experts in other specialties in materials science, such as the neutron scattering group at the National Institute of Standards and Technologies.
Areas of interest to us include new superconductors, dielectric, thermoelectric, magnetoresistive, frustrated magnets, and transparent conducting materials. In all cases, we employ the principles and synthetic and analytical methods of solid state chemistry to try to find new materials with exceptional physical properties in the hope of driving the field of study in new or unexpected directions. Our research philosophy has probably best been summarized by NIKE: "just do it". Some examples of our current work are described briefly in the following.
Transition metal chemistry:
Of particular interest to us is the discovery of new intermetallic, oxide, pnictide, and chalcogenide compounds of the transition elements. Transition metal compounds, especially of the 3d elements, have been the subject of continuous interest in the solid state chemistry research community for many decades, due to the wide variety of electrical, magnetic and structural properties and phenomena which they display. The discovery of high temperature superconductivity in copper oxides, however, led to the general realization that the electronic and magnetic properties of the whole family of transition metal compounds, and the detailed relationship of those properties to crystal structure, were very poorly understood. Current research on these materials is at the frontiers of our knowledge of complex solids. Of particular interest are materials in which the charge carriers, instead of acting like non-interacting particles as in the classical picture of solids, are actually interacting with each other. The spin carriers and the interactions between the underlying lattice and the electronic and magnetic states play a critical role in the determination of the physical properties. Although such compounds might have been surveyed in the past, many of the major aspects of their chemistry and behavior remain unexplored from a modern perspective. With the motivation of understanding the origin of superconductivity in the cuprates as a wedge for re-opening old issues or introducing previously unimagined issues, the solid state chemistry and physics of transition metal compounds is currently undergoing an explosive rebirth of research activity which is driving the frontiers of the understanding of complex materials in new directions. This is being accomplished through the detailed consideration and characterization of new materials which only a decade ago would have seemed too complex to understand from chemical, theoretical, or physical perspectives.
New Oxide and Intermetallic Superconductors:
Simple intermetallic compounds were widely explored as potential superconducting materials in the 1950s and 1960s. The best intermetallic superconductors, based on niobium rich compounds with group IIIB and IVB elements (e.g., Nb3Ga and Nb3Sn), were discovered and developed during that time period. These are isotropic materials in which the conduction electrons travel in an electronic band made from niobium d states. The discovery of High Tc superconductivity in 1986 in structurally layered copper oxides startled the materials science and condensed matter physics communities. The highly anisotropic crystal structures, the evolution of superconductivity from magnetism by chemical doping of the 3d9 Cu2+ based host compounds, and the special aspects of copper-oxygen bonding make these materials of continuing interest. High Tc superconductivity has been a windfall for solid state chemists, with approximately 50 new superconducting copper oxide based compounds discovered, and hundreds of new materials found and characterized. In our group we have been very active in searching for new oxide superconductors. Our interest lies not only in cuprates, but also in potential analogous compounds based on other transition metals. Working our chemistry to yield compounds at the metal-insulator transition, or the localized-itinerant electron boundary, interesting electronic or magnetic properties often arise, even when superconductivity is elusive.
Although the method of synthesis is quite different, using the philosophy we developed to search for oxide superconductors we have also been searching for new intermetallic superconductors, encouraged by the recently discovered new quaternary intermetallic superconductors -- lanthanide nickel or palladium boro-carbides -- with superconducting transition temperatures rivaling those of the best intermetallics previously known. With layered crystal structures, an interplay of superconductivity and magnetism occurs between the magnetic lanthanide carbide layers and the superconducting transition metal boride layers in some variants. We believe that exploration of new, complex intermetallic compounds has great potential for yielding interesting superconducting and magnetic materials and continue to work in that area.
Compounds with low dimensional or frustrated magnetic spin systems:
Transition metals with unpaired electrons in their d orbitals display a variety of magnetic behaviors in solids, ranging from the familiar ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism to much more exotic spin states. The study of these phenomena, especially in transition metal oxides, is an area of considerable current activity. Spin systems in which the geometrical spin arrangements are effectively low dimensional, such as chains, or ladders made from parallel chains, for example, are expected to show a variety of exotic magnetic properties. We have recently found and characterized a new copper oxide based chain compound in which the chains could be doped with holes (positive charge carriers) via chemical substitution over a wide range of composition. The magnetic behavior of the chain is changed profoundly as a function of hole concentration. Systems such as this are of interest as their low dimensionality makes their behavior treatable from a theoretical perspective, allowing a for a good test of theoretical models which in more complex geometries, such as the infinite planes in copper oxide superconductors, have proven difficult to model in sufficient depth. We have also synthesized and characterized new compounds with geometrically "frustrated" spin systems. These are based on placing antiferromagnetically interacting transition metal atoms at the nodes of triangular plane lattices. Long range ordering of antiferromagnetically interacting spins on triangular plane lattices is frustrated because there is no possible configuration where all spins can be surrounded by near neighbor spins aligned in the opposite direction. We are working closely with scientists at Bell Labs, Columbia University, NIST, and Johns Hopkins University in this area. The potential for new materials to impact the direction of this rapidly developing field is very significant.
Research Motivation
Many of our modern technologies have changed in almost unimaginable ways in the past few decades. These changes have greatly improved our quality of life, often in ways which were at first unpredictable. Frequently, the direction of change has been to make existing technologies more sophisticated and complex, such as in the case of computing and communications, sometimes improving performance by many orders of magnitude and making the previously impossible into the ordinary. At the basis of all our sophisticated technologies are the materials - the chemical compounds - whose physical properties make the technologies possible. These are the unseen heroes of our modern age: without them the giant technologies would not function. Although they are largely taken for granted, without the continuing discovery and development of new materials, technology would not continue to grow.
As technologies evolve toward greater sophistication, and condensed matter physics moves toward greater understanding of complex systems, new materials very often play an important role in driving fields of research and development in new directions.

Books for Exams?
0Mar 30, '12 by sMoLsNurseI've gone through the list of recommended books, but I'm wondering if any of you used other books and found they were sufficient for the class. I'm thinking about buying the Fundamentals book. I just bought the Studygroup 101 package. Do any of you have a list of books you used?
0Mar 31, '12 by sMoLsNurseYea, I was going to invest in the yellow Saunders book, it seems like a common recommendation on the boards here. I was just wondering if anyone used a specific textbook for any of the tests and thought it helped them. Excelsior seems to recommend about 4 books per exam... I'm not sure if I should be investing in that many per exam.

What is the function of Ratings Agencies? The answer to that question was most pithily expressed thusly: might

Old joke about Analysts: You do not need them in a Bull market, and you do not want them in a Bear market. > I was thinking about that in light of the S&P's mass EU downgrade threat. As always, the Credit Rating Agencies are quite late to the party. And consider that the European…Read More

Moody's threatens to downgrade ALL Euro zone countries – hey, that includes Germany does it not. Off course it does. I really wonder what officials in the German Finance Ministry think of that – a bit of a shock – well, possibly stronger emotions than that, I suspect. However, why the surprise – in my view Moody's is just reflecting the reality of the situation.
French newspaper reports (La Tribune) suggest that S&P may downgrade the country's outlook to negative in the next few weeks – personally, I do not believe that France will be able to maintain it's AAA rating, so no surprise. French unemployment rose to the highest since December 2009. Looks increasingly as if Sarkozy is "French toast" in next years Presidential elections – no great loss, but the likely winner (a socialist) – who knows what he will be up to. Basically, more
uncertainty – just hope (likely) that the euro zone issues will be sorted out before that – making it more difficult for the potential Socialist candidate to complicate the process.
The far more important point is that Germany is finally recognising that it is not financially immune. The other big issue is whether Germany comes up with a credible solution re the Euro Zone and, by default (maybe not the right word to use, given the current situation) for themselves.

The inventive comedy mind of Stewart Lee has been hard at work in preparation for his new show, Much A-Stew About Nothing at the Royal Festival Hall.
Always one to push comedy in interesting new directions, the famed deconstructor of the traditional gag routine is embarking on a new challenge.
For definitely the first and last time ever, audiences can catch Lee as he performs a gruelling stand-up marathon.
Abandoning the current tour formula that sees him go through three of a possible six 30 minute sets, the comedy adventurer is ambitiously performing all six sections for one huge, exhausting show.
With a new series of Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle in the pipeline, audiences can expect to have a chuckle at some new material too.

Lindsay Lohan Dropped By Label, Works For Free
It really hasn't been a good month for Lindsay Lohan.
With her dad spreading some pretty nasty rumors about her drug abuse and her French fashion line getting some pretty crappy reviews, the latest news isn't going to put a smile on her face either.
It has just been revealed that LiLo has been dropped by Casablanca Records, the company with which she was planning to release her second studio album.
Not only that, the NY Post is reporting that Lindsay didn't even get paid for her fashion gig for Ungaro. Lindsay threw down her own money for her hotel and flight to Paris for her recent appearance for Ungaro's Paris Fashion Week show!
But it wasn't all a waste—she reportedly left Paris with $100,000 worth of Ungaro clothes.
There seems to be only one option left for Linds: reality TV.
"She was being followed by a camera crew wherever she went," a witness claimed. "We saw them filming her at the Vogue party and a bunch of other clubs around Paris."
Would you watch a Lindsay Lohan reality show?

Is it ensure, insure, or assure?
city, seat (1837) of Ottawa county, southwestern Michigan, U.S., located at the mouth of the Grand River, about 15 miles (25 km) south of Muskegon on the shore of Lake Michigan. A fur-trading post was built on the site in 1834; the village of Grand Haven was laid out the next year. With the construction of several sawmills on the river, it soon developed into an active centre for lumbering. Shipbuilding and fishing became important industries in the 1850s, and in 1858 the town became a ferry port on the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad. The discovery in 1870 of mineral-rich springs in the area encouraged the city's growth as a resort. With the decline of the timber trade at the end of the 19th century, Grand Haven's economy came to rely on these newer economic activities, as well as on a growing fruit market. Its fine natural harbour handles shipments of sand, gravel, crushed limestone, coal, and petroleum; it is also used for commercial fishing and is the site of a U.S. Coast Guard base. The city's manufactures include auto parts, furniture, metal products, and industrial equipment.

Only my first JS dropdown menu is working...
I found this simple DD code, that allows a user to select an option and not need a submit button. I have 6 DD menus, but only the first is working. I have separated all functions into separate external .js files, and have a call to all of them in the head of my page. You can view the source code here http://www.kidsfirstweecycling.com ,it is the splash page.
Since I have 6 dd menus, I created 6 individual .js files. They all read the same with only the "city name" being changed throughout. In the example below the city name is "corona"... in the other 5 files it is changed to the other city names.
Code:function coronanav() { var w = document.coronaform.coronalist.selectedIndex; var url_add = document.coronaform.coronalist.options[w].value; window.location.href = url_add; }
I think it must be something simple, but since I am not fluent, I must be missing it.
It's because your function is only effecting one form element. You'll need something more like this
where "el" is the name of the form element that you want it to effect you would call it like thisCode:function coronanav(el) { var w = document.coronaform.el.selectedIndex; var url_add = document.coronaform.el.options[w].value; window.location.href = url_add; }
Code:coronanav(element_name)// this would replace your old function

The Annual Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey has called the country's housing 'vastly overpriced' – but what this actually means is up for debate.
Despite a slight improvement in affordability compared to last year, Demographia classed two thirds of the Australia's housing market as 'severely unaffordable', giving us one of the most unaffordable housing markets in the developed world.
The survey revealed that Sydney is the least affordable, with a median multiple of 8.3, while Melbourne is not far behind with a median multiple of 7.5, Adelaide 6.5, Perth 5.9 and Brisbane 5.8.
The report pointed out that this was a major contrast to 30 years ago. "Each of Australia's major markets, with the exception of Sydney, had housing affordability within the 3.0 median multiple norm during the 1980s, before the widespread adoption of urban containment policies," the report said.
The report considers any score above 4.0 as 'seriously unaffordable', yet not everyone agrees.
Australian Property Monitors chief economist Andrew Wilson told Property Observer yesterday that any measures of unaffordability are patently not affecting the market place in terms of buyer activity and price growth.
"We need to look very carefully at the concept of what is unaffordable ... Does unaffordable mean inability to buy, because in Sydney buyers are up and about?"
Top Suburbs : windale , mt colah , eagle vale , bligh park , keperra
The Demographia survey is flawed. It is produced by a pro-development lobby group whose aim is to remove restrictions on residential development, so it is in their interest to overstate the cost of housing. Their data for Australia in particular has been shown to be incorrect - google 'Demographia Debunked' for more details. Demographia's income data for Australia doesn't match any official sources, and their dwelling price data is also incorrect as they omits the more affordable units/townhouses/semis/terraces from their calculations and only focus on standalone houses. Check the blog below for more details...http://australianpropertyforum.com/blog/entry/3174279/8081/Cheers,Liam Patterson

WHAT IT IS: It's the best of both worlds. Luscious black cherry with hints of velvety warmth. A little dark, a little vamp. And our cult favorite, petal-soft lip slip... the ultimate formula for one fierce, glossy pout.
WHAT IT DOES: Lip Scrub eliminates dry, flaky skin to leave lips ridiculously soft and supple. A balm like no other, The Lip Slip leaves no color, just the richest, glossiest hydration imaginable. Infused with Sweet Almond, Jojoba and Macadamia nut oils, with a polymer blend that you can wear it all day. Wear it overnight. Results are immediate.
HOW TO USE: Massage a generous amount of Lip Scrub onto lips using a firm, circular motion. Wipe away with a tissue. After exfoliating with The Lip Scrub by Sara Happ, smooth a small amount of this luxe balm onto lips. Wear alone for universally appealing shine that brings out your lips' natural color, wear over color for shine like you wouldn't believe, put it on before bedtime and wake up to a plump, baby smooth pout. Let the hydration begin.
Brand: Sara Happ
Sara Happ founded her eponymous label after Googling for "lip scrub" one day and coming up empty-screened. Designed to soften and remove flaky skin, Sara Happ's exfoliating lip scrub collection features natural ingredients such as peppermint and grape seed oil and comes in delicious-smelling scents, including vanilla bean and brown sugar. In 2008, Happ debuted the Lip Slip: a one-of-a-kind, day-and-night lip balm that makes lips super-soft while bringing out their natural color. For head-to-toe luxury, try Sara Happ's silky body scrub: a grease-free blend of sweet almond, kukui nut and macadamia oils.

WMOT's impact on the Middle Tennessee community is important, as the only area station that programs traditional jazz music 7 days a week, and classical music weekdays on free, traditional FM radio. Our listeners appreciate our commitment to programming music, especially classical and jazz, that is accessible to anyone with a traditional radio. WMOT impacts the arts community by promoting and participating in area jazz festivals and concerts. WMOT offers unique national news programs, some of which are exclusive in the community. Our fulltime news department produces award winning features and local news stories consistently, with a focus on Middle Tennessee issues. Within the past 2 years WMOT news staff has produced over 100 stories on the environment, healthcare, the arts, and other subjects important to our community. Our three major goals for the coming year are 1. To make sure as many people as possible know that they have one place on the dial to hear traditional, mainstream jazz, as well as classical music, and now even blues and roots music.
2. To continue to find new sources of revenue to sustain current level of service to community and to increase community service, as state and federal funding continues to decrease.
3. Increase our public service by utilizing all of latest technology including digital broadcasting, including additional channels, and online streaming. WMOT received more private funding than ever during 2009 fiscal year. WMOT received its first ever major gift through the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee in 2009. This year WMOT will participate in planning and promotion and hosting for at least 2 jazz festivals in the Middle Tennessee area and will provide on air promotion for many more. The station will continue to air public service announcements for area non profit organizations , and will continue to allow community organizations to post their events on our website events calendar free of charge.
WMOT's most pressing need is recurring operational funds. Operational funds include purchase of programming, and costs of servicing listeners and businesses. Specifically, 89.5 Middle Tennessee Public radio needs $150,000(one hundred fifty thousand)recurring operating funds to help offset severe budget cuts by state of Tennessee and MTSU. WMOT needs capitol funds, $7,000 for radio equipment to allow for broadcasting two additional channels of programming for the community. WMOT also needs $30,000 for marketing campaign.
Indirect Public Support HelpIndirect public support represents revenue received through solicitation campaigns. This includes funding United Way and other federated fundraising organizations, but does not include donor designated contributions.
Earned Revenue HelpEarned revenue represents income generated in direct exchange for a product or service.Earned income includes income from government contracts.

Minority youth aged 8 to 18 consume an average of 13 hours of media content a day -- about 4-1/2 hours more than their white counterparts, according to a Northwestern University report, the first national study to focus exclusively on children's media use by race and ethnicity.
"In the past decade, the gap between minority and white youth's daily media use has doubled for blacks and quadrupled for Hispanics," says Northwestern Professor Ellen Wartella, who directed the study and heads the Center on Media and Human Development in the School of Communication. "The big question is what these disparities mean for our children's health and education."
The report finds that minority children spend one to two additional hours each day watching TV and videos, approximately an hour more listening to music, up to an hour and a half more on computers, and 30 to 40 minutes more playing video games than their white counterparts.
The only medium for which no difference was found between minority and white youth was reading print for pleasure. Young people in all groups read for pleasure approximately 30 to 40 minutes a day, the study finds.
"Our study is not meant to blame parents," says Wartella, a longtime Sesame Workshop trustee and Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani Professor in Communication. "We hope to help parents, educators and policymakers better understand how children's media use may influence health and educational disparities."
The study, "Children, Media and Race: Media Use Among White, Black, Hispanic and Asian American Children," is based on a new analysis, by race, of data from the Kaiser Family Foundation's previous media use studies. It finds that race-related differences among youth are robust even when controlling for factors including parent education and whether or not children are from single- or two-parent families.

Rationing the Rain: How California Distributes Its Water in Dry Times
Includes cartoon infographic
Distributing enough water to everyone has never been an easy task in perennially thirsty California. But making sure that residents, farms and the environment are all sufficiently hydrated becomes a particularly difficult balancing act during prolonged periods of drought. Simply put, there's just not enough to go around. Cartoon journalist Andy Warner — whose last piece focused on California agriculture — explains the complicated math of water distribution in the Golden State.

Time Warner: Making An Offer They Can't Refuse?
Look at the numbers, folks (127 comments)
If you look at the numbers, AOL currently pays about 60% of revenues to pay MCI/Worldcom for 56K dial-up access. This is a "sweetheart" rate, which is low because of size (AOL is a decent sized ISP
ISP's working with AOL are getting broadband access for their customers and can begin to phase out their dial-up access and reduce maintenance and technical support costs, better for them in the long run. For instance, AOL has a $9.95/plan TCP/IP only access plan that is MORE profitable than a $21.95/month dial-up plan.
Now, I do admit that some of the plan is very onerous (veto power over external content, advertising space on the ISP's home page, etc.). That is just dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. There are legitimate business reasons for flexing your muscle, but this is certainly not one of them.
Look at the numbers before you fire off your mouth about the evil AOL. When you make a business case (and believe it or not, AOL intends to make money, not build the ultimate weapon and destroy Alderan) this is not so outrageous.
Let the flames begin!
I am a former AOL employee and current AOL stockholder.

Bryant leads Lakers north to face Raptors
Hoops fans and bettors alike will have a busy night on Friday as there are nine games on the NBA schedule. But the focus will be on the Air Canada Center, where Chris Bosh and the Toronto Raptors will play host to Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.
This game will be the second of a crucial nine-game road trip for the Lakers, who are currently second in the Pacific Division behind the Phoenix Suns. The Lakers have played well since center Andrew Bynum went down with a partially dislocated kneecap, which is surprising given the huge improvement of the young center. But as long as the Lakers have Kobe Bryant, they always have a chance to win any game.
Bryant, who is averaging 27.8 points per game, is also adding 6.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists per outing as he appears to be working towards being a more all-around player. Bryant is also learning to trust his teammates more than he has in the past, which was largely unforeseen because this is one of the youngest teams Bryant has ever been a part of in LA.
The Raptors have won eight of their last ten games and they are behind only Boston in the Atlantic Division. A big part of this run has been the play of their inside/outside duo, Chris Bosh and Jose Calderon, who are both playing like All-Stars although only Bosh got the call this week.
Bosh is finally healthy after plodding through the start of the season due to a knee injury, and he has spent a lot of time working on the mechanics of his jumper. Bosh now has to be considered a threat from anywhere inside 20 feet, and he is even good for the occasional three-pointer, although head coach Sam Mitchell will want his power forward down on the blocks. Calderon has the best assist-to-turnover ratio in the NBA, and he has recently shown an ability to attack the basket late in the game. This will help the Raptors as Calderon draws double-teams, as he can finish or pass, and he is spectacular from the foul line.
The Lakers have won three of their last five meetings with the Raptors, including their past two trips to the Air Canada Center. Most will remember Bryant's monster 81-point performance against the Raptors in Los Angeles two years ago.

College Hoops Matchups –Trendy Talk
North Carolina at Florida State
North Carolina (20-1, 14-4 ATS) makes one more trip to the Sunshine State, taking on Florida State. The Tar Heels dominated Miami-Fl in last visit and is 13-3 ATS off a straight up victory. Coach Roy Williams has been especially pleased with point guard Ty Lawson, who is performing back to early season levels. The Seminoles are glad to see January disappear, with 2-5 mark and never covering spread. In fact. Florida State owns one cover since November 27. A lack of confidence has led to slow starts, causing the 'Noles to play catch-up the rest of the game. Another rough opening signals game over against North Carolina.
The Tar Heels are 9-1 and 7-1 ATS with two days between games.

Manuka Honey is a unique honey, native to New Zealand, that has been gaining increasing international publicity for its natural healing properties.
It is a natural remedy that actually has some proper research to help back it up.
However it is important to know that not all manuka honey is equal. Although all of it tastes great, only some batches of it are proven to contain the extra antibacterial property that has propelled its fame as the 'healing honey'.
Much of the research into the unique healing ability of manuka honey has been led by Professor Peter Molan and the team at New Zealand's University of Waikato Honey Research Centre. Their work has developed a test to find the amount of extra antibacterial potency in a batch of honey, to give it a UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) level.
So what is it that makes active manuka honey special? All honey contains a level of hydrogen peroxide, which provides a level of antibacterial power from the actions of the enzyme glucose oxidase that is also found in honey. But this can be adversely affected by other enzymes found in wound fluids and body tissue. However, active manuka honey also contains what is referred to as the 'unique manuka factor' (UMF). It is this that creates the special properties, including the extra antibacterial and antibiotic properties, that is found in active manuka honey, as the UMF is not affected by the other enzymes, and is much more stable and active in a variety of conditions.
From an independent test it is found if a sample of honey is standard manuka honey (great tasting, but not containing any additional healing properties), honey that has some of the extra healing properties but not sufficient to be given the 'UMF' label (these can be called active honey, but not UMF honey), or that it meets the requirements for the UMF label and for what level.
The term (or mark) 'UMF' is actually a registered trademark, so as to protect you, the consumer, that you are getting manuka honey that does actually contain the healing properties it has become famous for. There are criteria that must be met for its use.
What You should know:
The research that supports the natural healing properties of this New Zealand honey and has led to its good reputation has been based on using honey with a minimum tested UMF level of 10 or higher.
The 'UMF' logo is YOUR assurance that you are getting properly tested honey that does contain the stated level of antibacterial activity. Look for it on the actual label of the product if you want manuka honey for its healing qualities, not just in the advertising. This applies whether you are looking in high street stores or online.
UMF Manuka Honey is a great natural remedy, especially for wound treatment, burns, ulcers, and digestive problems among other things. Each would be worthy of individual articles. The purpose here has been to inform you what to look for when you want to use it for its healing properties.
