RTI International Supports Local Non-Profit Grow And Share
Zebulon, NC, July 7, 2011 - Grow And Share, a non-profit fighting hunger at the local level, recently received a corporate contribution from RTI International of Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. This RTI 2011 Community Partnerships Program contribution will provide funding for Grow And Share's gardening programs in Fall 2011.
The contribution will be used to augment gardener education by providing necessary supplies to grow food throughout the Triangle and Eastern NC. It will also provide supplies for a greenhouse upgrade, extending food-growth potential.
During late Summer and Fall, classes will be held by Grow And Share to teach year-round gardening. Plants and seeds will be distributed to local gardeners who attend workshops and Pledge To Share their Fall harvests with their communities and local food banks.
"This contribution from RTI is going to help expand local food growth, allowing us to teach local residents about growing food in year-round gardens and provide them with Fall plants and seeds for their Sharing Gardens," Kay Whatley of Grow And Share said. "Across the local area, this can increase the amount of healthy food grown locally and available to those in need."
Grow and Share is one of 86 charitable organizations selected to receive charitable contributions as part of RTI's 2011 Community Partnerships Program.
The program, created in 2004, is one way in which RTI contributes to the communities served by its regional offices and subsidiaries, as part of its mission to improve the human condition. Other organizations funded include children's, disabilities and health programs. The program is based on RTI employee nominations of charitable organizations to RTI's Corporate Contributions Board.
Grow And Share was nominated for the award by Jamie Wescott, an employee of RTI. "I first learned about Grow And Share when I volunteered to help build a greenhouse on the MLK Day of Service," Jamie said. "I was impressed by their idea, passion, and dedication, and I wanted to help in any way I could. As a co-chair of the RTP Community Supported Agriculture program, I believe in the Grow and Share mission. Its work perfectly aligns within RTI's values, and I am happy that we were able to support them."

Google doodle marks SA elections
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - South Africa got its own Google Doodle to mark its fifth democratic elections on Wednesday.
A ballot box in the colours of the SA flag formed the centre of the doodle with the individual letters of the internet search engine's name picking up colours of the flag.
Clicking on the doodle led to links for election day news, the Electoral Commission of SA (IEC), and to a wikipedia collaboration explaining the elections and the composition of South Africa's Parliament.
The idea for the Google doodle, according to the company, started before the company was incorporated when founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin adapted the logo with a picture of a stick figure in the middle to indicate that they were out of office attending the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert in the US.
Google, which is younger than SA's first democratic government, now has a team of doodlers and engineers dedicated to designing doodles for special occasions, including individual users' birthdays. - Sapa

There are mutations in around one in every 600 nucleotides and the scientists examined over 392,000 of these mutations to find the ones specific to type-2 diabetes. The mutations are known as single-nucleotide polymorphisms.
The researchers confirmed their findings by analysing the genetic makeup of a further 5,000 individuals with type-2 diabetes and a family history of the disorder, to verify that the same genetic mutations were visible in these individuals.
Professor David Balding, co-author on the study from Imperial's Division of Epidemiology, Public Health and Primary Care, said: "Until now, progress in understanding how genes influence disease has been painfully slow. This study is one of the first large studies to report results using the new genome-wide technology that governments and research charities have invested heavily in during the past few years.
"Our research shows that this technology can generate big leaps forward. The task now is to study the genes identified in our work more intensively, to understand more fully the disease processes involved, devise therapies for those affected and to try to prevent future cases," he added.

Smarty Cargo Pants - Grey/Medium
These are actually very good pants. The yellow is a bit much so I went with the gunmetal grey ones. Not too baggy, not too tight, perfect fit. I am 6"2 so could have gone with the 'tall' version but these touch the ground + when I am not wearing boots. Plenty of pockets, very stylish, I would wear them out shopping if I could get away with it. Went out in minus 10 (celcius) last night with serious wind and didn't feel a thing. Boa thing is certainly useless but it has them if you are into that. Had Burtons before this and these are definitely better. Will buy these again when the time comes to replace.
Also, apparently these pants have a hidden pocket but I will be fncked if I can find it.

Rochester Hills
September 04, 2013Stoney Creek football opens season with a victory
By Christian Davis
C & G Staff Writer
Rochester Hills Stoney Creek's Joe Cox tries to get to the outside against Royal Oak High Aug. 29. The Cougars won the game 42-8.
ROYAL OAK — It wasn't the first half Rochester Hills Stoney Creek football coach Brad Zube was looking for Aug. 29 at Royal Oak High.
The Cougars led 14-8 at the break.
"I think my kids came out a little tense; then they loosened up, and we played Stoney Creek football," Zube said. "We went in at halftime and just tried to settle them down. We didn't go in there screaming — that's not what we do at Stoney Creek. We just wanted to relieve a little tension, exhale, remember what kind of team we have and get back to the basics."
The talk eventually led to a 42-8 victory, but the message was clear following the game.
Zube spoke to the squad, telling his players that they won't be sneaking up on any opponents this season.
Last year, the Cougars finished 5-4 overall, winning three of their final four games, and 4-3 in the Oakland Activities Association Red Division. Just a year prior, Stoney Creek was 1-8 overall.
Senior Noah Beck said the senior-heavy team is on a mission.
"Our senior class, we know what we want, we know our goals. We're going to go out there and try to accomplish them," he said. "We know what we can do, and we're going to show everyone what we can do."
The Cougars return 13 starters, and have depth and weapons all over the field, according to Zube.
Against Royal Oak, the Cougars put 21 points on the board in the third quarter in a matter of five minutes, getting a 19-yard touchdown catch when quarterback Justin Allor found Alex Schnurr, a 65-yard punt return from Joe Cox, and a 2-yard plunge from Jack VanAlmen.
Other scores came from 57- and 47-yard runs by Nick Rangos, and a 27-yard touchdown catch by Beck from Allor.
"We have a lot of guys that we can get the football," Zube said. "That's how we want to go at people — diversify our attack."
The Cougars' defense held the Ravens scoreless. Royal Oak scored on an interception return in the first quarter.
"We feel confident in the guys we have on defense and on offense," Zube said. "We have a lot of depth. If we can stay healthy, then we have a shot."
Catch the Cougars against Pontiac High at 7 p.m. Sept. 6 at home.

This is the Estes Proto X Nano Electric Quadcopter. This Quadcopter is recommended for ages 14 and older, and is for indoor use only.
Estes' Proto X is lightweight, affordably priced, easy-to-fly and ready-to-fly; in other words, the season's must-have Quadcopter! The Proto X is impressively equipped and stylishly designed, with virtually everything you need to get up in the air. Simply add two "AA" batteries, and you're ready for takeoff!
One Estes Proto X Nano Electric Quadcopter with a 4-channel 2.4GHz transmitter with digital trims, four micro motors, one 3.7V 100mAh LiPo flight battery, a USB charge cord, and four spare rotor blades
Dimensions: 1.8 x 1.8" (45 x 45mm)
Weight: 0.40oz (11.5g)
I have a blast flying this toy but.... after the the 5 charge my usb cord isn't working. I thought at first maybe it was my laptop, but after trying 3 other computers with the same results. Now I'm having trouble with getting info on how to return it for repairs, or getting a new cord. Can anyone help with delima?
The package arrived in a timely manner. The Proto X is ton of fun. If you can fly one of these, you can fly one of the big boys. It is just too much fun being able to fly this indoors.
If you want to learn to fly multi-rotors, this IS the least expensive, most fun way to do it! Once you gain some skill, upgrade to a Traxxas QR-1 transmitter ($30?), to unleash the true aerobatic potential of this bad-a$$ little copter. Loops & Rolls indoors = No Problemo! Order some extra props, though. Beginner pilots are hard on props... Disclaimer: No cats were harmed during the training of this quad pilot...
A great flight training tool for larger quad copters is the Estes Proto X. Super fast delivery from RC Planet -- thanks guys!This little quad was the star of the show on Space-Day at the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute in NC last week.
Great experience. Shipped and delivered Promptly.
This is really fun to fly around in the house. It is my first quad copter and is relatively easy to fly but capable enough to keep interest and take time to master. There is a lot there for the price.

The author examines the disturbing and increasingly common occurrence from the perspective of law enforcement agencies, and citizens whose communities are besieged with crime. The book brings attention to the professional standards that police officers are sworn to adhere, and reveals, the internal struggle underway in law enforcement agencies throughout the nation, to counteract the action of wayward police officers.
From the reports of vice, police brutality and vigilante justice, to attempts by street gangs to infiltrate police departments, the author dissects the trickle down effect of police corruption on American values and the criminal justice system.
Stanford's first book, Homophobia in the Black Church: How Faith, Politics and Fear Divide the Black Community, will be released March 2013.

halyard working load
When I was sailing this past weekend, the block at the base of the mast that redirects the main halyard to the cockpit broke [we were using the halyard to fully raise the main after removing a reef].
In preparing to replace the block, I realized I don''t really know what loads the block has to withstand. The halyard makes a 90 degree turn at the block. Presumably there is a second block in the system at the masthead.
Obviously many loads on a boat are wind dependent, but is there a reference for typical loads on various parts of sailboats? I would think that the wind does not greatly affect loading of the main halyard, since wind would not be exerting force downward, against the halyard. Yet pressure on the sail does affect the three corners (e.g. increased loads are used on cunningham and outhaul to flatten the sail/change the draft in higher winds, etc.)
I want to be sure and get a block that has a suitable safe working load. On the other hand, it seems unnecessary to buy an overly strong block if there are other weaker links in the chain. Plus it would be nice to know what kind of loads different parts of the boat are subject to.
If size, matters, the boat is a 23 foot cabin cruiser/racer keel boat (Beneteau).
Thanks for any insights.

13 Look, my servant will succeed. He will be exalted and lifted very high. | 13 See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. |
14 Just as many were appalled by you, he too appeared disfigured, inhuman, his appearance unlike that of mortals. | 14 Just as there were many who were appalled at him-- his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness-- |
15 But he will astonish many nations. Kings will be silenced because of him, because they will see what they haven't seen before; what they haven't heard before, they will ponder. | 15 so will he sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand. |

Nov 8th 2011 10:07PM My theory on the big boss in MoP will be the Sha, the race that grows stronger with violence, death and destruction. Under the relative peace that Pandaria has celebrated, the Sha has been weak and kept in check. The warring between the Alliance and Horde will strengthen the Sha until the leader of the Sha becomes powerful enough to consume the entire span of Pandaria, and likely the rest of Azeroth. If the Alliance and Horde do not work together to stop the Sha (ironically with even more destructive force), it will be the end of all.

The only thing that I like about it is they separate PvP and PvE so as to not make serious changes due to PvP. Just get it over with and make PvP and PvE separate. Blizzard wants to avoid confusing new players (are there any anymore?) by making spells have different rules for different situations but isn't making drastic spell/gameplay changes due to PvP/PvE every other month just as, if not more so, confusing and aggravating to everyone, including, potentially, new players?

Some are dissuaded by making their homes energy efficient because they think it'll cost them money to do so. They are, of course, severely misinformed, as being energy efficient actually saves you money in the long run.
This year, you should do your part for the environment, as well as save a bit of money, by making your home as energy efficient as possible. We've written up a few tips for you to follow in order to get you started on being energy efficient.
Recycle your old tech
This is actually an important aspect of being energy efficient. Improperly discarded tech, such as old computers, are very bad for the environment. The components of Smartphones and computers are made out of 'heavy metals' that contain carcinogenic chemicals that are quite dangerous when sitting in a landfill.
Selling your old tech should be your first port of call, before you look into other recycling methods.
Go easy on the lights
It might seem like a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised how much unnecessary light use goes on in your home. Enforce the rules harshly if you have to! Light use takes up to 20 per cent of your electricity bill.
You should also change all of your bulbs to energy-efficient ones. You could cut energy use by 75 per cent by doing so. Although the energy efficient bulbs cost more, they use less energy, so you save money over time.
Go easy on your kettle
It might surprise you that your kettle actually consumes more electricity than your HD television does. In fact, it's one of the biggest wasters of energy out of all your household appliances. What you can do to use less energy is boiling only the right amount of water you need.
Instead of filling it to the brim, fill your mug with water and pour it into the kettle.
Take care of your insulation
A lot of energy is often wasted because the insulation in your house needs tending to. It's an easy mistake to make. You stand to save about 20 per cent of your energy bill if your walls and loft are properly insulated.
Take care not to insulate around where your water boiler is – your pipes may freeze during the cold months. Drafts in the windows and doors can easily covered up with rubber tubing that's fitted to the windowsills.

Magic Cube Tutorial:
- Rubik's magic cube can be challenge; when you are solving one side the other side messes up on you.
- According to Michiel van der Blonk, you can solve the magic cube with a layer by layer approach and using only four algorithms or sequence of moves.
- Once you learn to recognize when to use an algorithm and memorize the four algorithms, you should be able to solve the magic cube within one minute.
- It is best to learn the algorithms one by one since it is the hardest part.
Learn the notation symbols which is considered standard:- Right (R), Left (L), Up (U), Down (D), Front (F), Back (B)
Learn the mathematical X, Y and Z axes:
- X--rotate the cube looking at the Right face
- Y--rotate the cube looking at the Up face
- Z--rotate the cube looking at the Front face
Learn the technique to solve the magic cube in the layer by layer method:
- Make a cross on the top layer, insert the corners to make the top layer complete, insert the middle layer edges, make a cross on the bottom layer, rotate the corners to make the bottom color complete, Swap corners to fix the bottom corners, swap (or carousel) edges to fix the bottom edges
Learn the first algorithm "The Cross:"
- Put the front-bottom sticker on top-front "D" "L" "F" "L;" put the front-top sticker on top-front "F" "U" "R" "U;" put the front-right sticker on top-front "U" "R" "U;" put the front-left sticker on top-front "U" "L" "U."
The Rubik's Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. Originally called the "Magic Cube", the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toys in 1980 and won the German Game of the Year special award for Best Puzzle that year. As of January 2009, 350 million cubes have sold worldwide making it the world's top-selling puzzle game. It is widely considered to be the world's best-selling toy.
In a classic Rubik's Cube, each of the six faces is covered by nine stickers, among six solid colours (traditionally white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow). A pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently, thus mixing up the colours. For the puzzle to be solved, each face must be a solid colour. Similar puzzles have now been produced with various numbers of stickers, not all of them by Rubik. The original 3 x 3 x 3 version celebrates its thirtieth anniversary in 2010.
Optimal solutions:- Although there are a significant number of possible permutations for the Rubik's Cube, there have been a number of solutions developed which allow for the cube to be solved in well under 100 moves
- Many general solutions for the Rubik's Cube have been discovered independently. The most popular method was developed by David Singmaster and published in the book Notes on Rubik's "Magic Cube" in 1981. This solution involves solving the Cube layer by layer, in which one layer (designated the top) is solved first, followed by the middle layer, and then the final and bottom layer. After practice, solving the Cube layer by layer can be done in under one minute. Other general solutions include "corners first" methods or combinations of several other methods. In 1982, David Singmaster and Alexander Frey hypothesised that the number of moves needed to solve the Rubik's Cube, given an ideal algorithm, might be in "the low twenties". In 2007, Daniel Kunkle and Gene Cooperman used computer search methods to demonstrate that any 3×3×3 Rubik's Cube configuration can be solved in 26 moves or less. In 2008, Tomas Rokicki lowered that number to 22 moves, and in July 2010, a team of researchers including Rokicki, working with Google, proved the so-called "God's number" to be 20. This is optimal, since there exist some starting positions which require at least 20 moves to solve
- A solution commonly used by speed cubers was developed by Jessica Fridrich. It is similar to the layer-by-layer method but employs the use of a large number of algorithms, especially for orienting and permuting the last layer. The cross is done first followed by first-layer corners and second layer edges simultaneously, with each corner paired up with a second-layer edge piece. This is then followed by orienting the last layer then permuting the last layer (OLL and PLL respectively). Fridrich's solution requires learning roughly 120 algorithms but allows the Cube to be solved in only 55 moves on average
- Philip Marshall's The Ultimate Solution to Rubik's Cube is a modified version of Fridrich's method, averaging only 65 twists yet requiring the memorization of only two algorithms
- A now well-known method was developed by Lars Petrus. In this method, a 2×2×2 section is solved first, followed by a 2×2×3, and then the incorrect edges are solved using a three-move algorithm, which eliminates the need for a possible 32-move algorithm later. The principle behind this is that in layer by layer you must constantly break and fix the first layer; the 2×2×2 and 2×2×3 sections allow three or two layers to be turned without ruining progress. One of the advantages of this method is that it tends to give solutions in fewer moves
- In 1997, Denny Dedmore published a solution described using diagrammatic icons representing the moves to be made, instead of the usual notation

"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." (Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789) "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington
Yes there is a minimum overall length. I think it is around 26". But someone smarter then me will tell you soon.
Just walking on the edge of of my grave.
ok. So the same rules apply than with any rifle. I kinda thought that. It just seemed to be popular seeing them online more. Thanks.
Here in Texas if your not 21 you can not buy a shotgun with a pistol grip installed or if you get caught with I e and your not 21 and it has a pistol grip it's illegal over 21 it's fine
"You can all go to Hell and I will go to Texas"
The shorty is probably registered as a pistol. As long as the barrel is 18" then it's a shotgun and you can do what you want to the grip/ but stock. Here is mine for example, it's got an 18" barrel and the rest of the configuration is legal.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire. "Robo is right" Fuzzball

"The results strongly suggested that foot infections are common and complex. They are also costly in terms of morbidity," noted Dr. Lawrence A. Lavery of Texas A&M, the lead author on the study.
The study also found that nearly 9 in 10 amputations performed are instigated by an infection. "This was perhaps the most interesting figure in the study," noted David G. Armstrong, DPM, PhD, Professor of Surgery and Director of Scholl's Center for Lower Extremity Ambulatory Research at Rosalind Franklin University and one of the study's principal investigators.
"It is infection that is the spark that led to nearly all amputations in this study," said Armstrong. "Poor circulation, while critically important, did not necessarily cause amputation. It determined the level of amputation. This subtlety makes a significant difference when designing strategies for prevention."
The study is published in the June issue of the journal Diabetes Care.

Palestine City Council to review zoning restrictions for 'adult-oriented' businesses
Palestine, Texas (City of Palestine) — The Palestine City Council will consider zoning ordinances to regulate sexually oriented businesses during a regular council meeting on Monday, July 14, 2014.
The United States Supreme Court has affirmed the First Amendment right of sexually oriented businesses to operate and local and state governments cannot prohibit their operation. Cities can adopt zoning ordinances to limit where, when and how the establishments operate. For example, cities can prevent sexually oriented businesses from locating near churches, schools or residential neighborhoods. Additionally, permitting requirements can be put in place in an effort to protect public health and safety.
Approximately a year ago, the City of Palestine received a single inquiry from a sexually oriented business. While the business took no further action, the Palestine City Council instituted a moratorium on the acceptance of applications for the establishment of sexually oriented businesses within the city limits. During the moratorium, city staff researched and developed more stringent development standards that would allow the city to control the operations of these facilities. The City of Palestine is not seeking to attract or promote sexually oriented businesses. The purpose of the zoning ordinance is to isolate or limit their development in the city.
"We currently do not have a request to operate one of these businesses," said Development Services Director Jeffery Lyons, "nor is the City of Palestine trying to promote this type of business in the city. However, the review we are going through would help us if we ever did receive an application."
The moratorium expires on July 18, 2014. The City Council plans to review and adopt zoning changes to specify where development may occur if the city is ever approached again. Citizens may comment on this issue by contacting the city manager's office or their council member.
City council meetings are open to the public, and public input is welcomed. For more information on council meetings please visit www.CityofPalestineTx.com or call (903) 731-8400.

Rod knows how tough it is to get off -- and stay off. He goes to meetings of Kicking Tina, a support group that he and four other gay men founded, twice a week. He also helps facilitate a cognitive-therapy group that's designed specifically for people who use stimulants, to help them understand why they behave the way they do. He's been appointed to the Mayor's Office of HIV Resources, which oversees the administering of funds to combat AIDS, and is pursuing becoming a certified addictions counselor. And at 48, he's buying a home for the first time.
Rod is working hard -- but then, he's making up for lost time. And he wants to hold up the mirror so that other gay men can see how meth can impact their lives. "It's having no worries," Rod says. "You lose your anxiety. Let's just say that for me, there's a whole piece about being an aging gay man, and there's a whole piece that causes me anxiety, and there's a whole piece about being HIV-positive, and there's a whole piece about being lonely, and there's a whole piece about being inadequate because I don't have a formal education. Meth erases all that."
If it doesn't erase its user altogether.
With Bob's help, Rod got clean. Now he's on a mission to help others separate the myths of meth from the harsh realities. "I firmly believe that this drug has done so much damage to my community and to people I know and to people I don't know that I'm not going to participate in it anymore," he says. "It's not going to be part of my reality. And I'll be okay if I don't do it. That's the other thing."
He's kicked the bitch.

The company was named for a misspelling of googol, or one followed by a hundred zeros, alluding to the site's purpose of providing easy access to vast amounts of information.
google - Computer Definition
See Google+.
(Google, Mountain View, CA, www.google.com) The largest Web search engine and one of the most influential companies in the high-tech world. In addition to search, Google offers a huge variety of Web-based software for individuals and companies that range from office applications to multimedia to communications and social networking. With its Android operating system and acquisition of Motorola Mobility, Google is also a leader in the mobile device business. See Google applications and Android. Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two Stanford University students. In 1996, they developed their "BackRub" search engine, named after its unique page ranking method (explained below). With investments from Sun founder Andy Bechtolsheim and others, the company was founded in September 1998, and BackRub was launched as the Google search engine in 1999. Google acquired the Usenet discussion groups from Deja.com in 2001 and renamed them Google Groups. In 2006, Google acquired YouTube, the most popular video sharing site on the Web. See Usenet, Deja.com and YouTube. Google It! The name Google was chosen to represent the gigantic amount of material available on the Web. It comes from "googol;" the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. The name became a verb. To Google something means to search the Web for it. See googol. The Clean Screen From the start, Google set itself apart from the other search sites. Instead of its home page laden with graphics that took a long time to download in the days of analog modems, the Google home page contained only a logo and search box. The page downloaded quickly, and users felt they were getting a faster result even before they started searching. Even today, Google's home page is sparse: no news, no ads; only a handful of text links to its huge number of services and applications. Behind Google's home page lies a sophisticated search engine infrastructure. The company streamlines its nearly one million servers to provide the most search engine power with the least amount of energy and heat dissipation. Using its own self-healing software, Google's Web indexes are mirrored around the globe, and any server can fail without disruption. PageRank and Backlinks - A Different Approach Called "PageRank," Google introduced a unique concept of determining which pages rank the highest in the results list. When you do a Google search, the pages with the most links pointing to them from other sites, known as "backlinks," are placed higher up in the list because they are considered more popular and thus more relevant. In addition, the sites with the backlinks are themselves analyzed for backlinks to determine how popular they are. For example, a site may rank higher if 25 extremely popular sites link to it rather than 500 unimportant sites. See Google applications, Google Doodle, Google bomb and Googleplex.
A social networking site from Google that competes with Faceboook. In order to iron out the bugs, its debut in 2011 was by invitation only from other Google+ users. Following are some of the Google+ features. Circles Circles are circular icons into which friends and family are stored. In order to better engineer privacy and who sees what, all posts, photos and invitations are shared by dragging them into the appropriate Circle, which remembers the last selection. Friends, Acquaintances, Family and Following (whom you follow) are the defaults, but any Circle can be created. Photos Whenever users shoot photos on their Android phones or connect a memory card or camera to a Chromebook, images can be automatically uploaded to Google's servers. Images can be organized into new or different folders and are automatically grouped into stories that allow added narration by the user. Five or more photos taken one after the other can be viewed as an animated sequence. Hangouts Hangouts lets up to 10 users video call each other. Callers are visible in small windows, but the person talking displays in the large window. Hangouts On Air lets people broadcast live videos on their Google+ home page and YouTube channel. See Google+ Ripples, Google+ Sparks and Google.

Who can pass up regal accommodations at cut-rate prices, particularly when its rooftop is one of the liveliest places in town? From the rooftop and its pool you get spectacular views of the Udaipur skyline—the hotel is across Lake Pichola from the City Palace, although most of the rooms lack views. Every room in this towering boutique hotel, re-created to look "heritage," is elegantly furnished and has a unique period theme, with antique furniture and art that relate
to specific regions and people in Mewar history—evidence of personal involvement of the Rajput owners. There's also a center courtyard garden to while away time, and a good restaurant serving well-priced Indian cuisine.

Although there have been no new talks between the Sarasota Orchestra and its musicians over their new contract, the man the musicians union hired to negotiate a deal has become the topic of conversation himself.
Leonard Leibowitz, a lawyer for several performing arts unions, has been charged with embezzling about $150,000 from a union he represented.
Federal prosecutors said Leibowitz allegedly wrote checks to himself from the Independent Artists of America checkbook. They said in 1997 he asked the union for an advance on his retainer.
Leibowitz's retainer was $42,000, but from 1997 to 2005, he allegedly wrote $350,000 worth of checks to himself, his company and his wife rather than take his retainer.
Leibowitz was charged in July, before the American Federation of Musicians union asked him to conduct negotiations with the Sarasota Orchestra.
"Lenny has been under retainer as a negotiating attorney for several years," said Richard Sparrow, secretary of the union's Gulf Coast chapter. "The charges against him have no real relevance to how this particular negotiation goes. We believe he's the right person for that."
Dan Jordan, the orchestra's concertmaster, said Leibowitz successfully negotiated the musicians' last contract three years ago, so he trusts him. But he said he wanted the talks to continue and said if
Leibowitz was the stumbling block, "there are ways around that."
Orchestra CEO Joseph McKenna said he didn't want to comment on Leibowitz's "personal problems." Leibowitz could not be reached for comment.

TV updates
I caught up with Joe Giansante today. Still no word on what OSN is going to do this season after Chambers Communications decided to end their relationship.
But two items of note:
1) A rule will be enforced this year barring broadcast of OSN-produced replays within 14 days of a live telecast on FSN or Versus. That rule is part of the Pac-10's contract with those stations, but Oregon was granted a waiver last season. No such luck this year.
Right now there are two UO games this season set to be carried by FSN or Versus, the opener against Washington and the Civil War. Giansante said OSN will still produce replays for those games, with plans to show the Washington game during Oregon's bye week, Oct. 18, and the Civil War some time in December.
2) Both the Utah State and Boise State games will be live OSN productions, to be carried by whatever stations they work out a new agreement with.
UPDATE (6:20 p.m.): I removed reference to a vote by Pac-10 athletic directors on the replay matter. That was bad info I had received.

Since opening in 2010, we have had a shared vision of providing an affordable and homey lodging option that is consistent with our vision of simplicity and environmental consciousness. This vision does not consist of "modern adornments" (such as flat-screen TVs), but rather a mellow vibe, quaint setting, and warm, personalized service. This vision is now a reality!
The Bodhi Surf Lodge, set to open in late November 2014, is comprised of four lodging options, a common area, and a yoga center.
- Bungalow Gratitud — the largest of the four options, this bungalow has two queen beds which can accommodate up to four people, and contains a well equipped kitchenette
- Bungalow Espiritu — a smaller version of Bungalow Gratitud, this bungalow contains one queen bed and a small kitchenette – making it the perfect choice for a couple
- Room Armonia — a private hotel-style room with a full-sized bed which can accommodate one or two people, located on the second level of a two-story structure
- Room Amistad — a shared room that can accommodate up to four guests is great option for single travelers, located on the second level of a two-story structure
- Rancho Serenidad — a two-story structure containing the Bodhi Shambala Yoga Studio on the top-level and a relaxing reading area on the ground level
- Common Area Alegria — a social area that contains a kitchen and dining area, located on the ground level of a two-story structure, with Room Armonia and Room Amistad located on the top-level
Located in the heart of the community of Bahia Ballena, the Bodhi Surf Lodge is within walking distance to most everything you could need during a week-long stay with us. The beach is a 20-minute walk from the Bodhi Base, grocery stores are about a 15-minute walk, and restaurants are anywhere between a 5 to 20-minute walk.
- Secure parking
- WiFi
- Hot water
- Common area
- Yoga platform
You will never find any area of Bodhi Surf School to be excessive or cluttered, either visually or physically. One of our highest values is that "less is more", and these are words that we all try to live by every day. We encourage our guests to enjoy the many sights, smells, tastes, and sounds of the area, and to really feel — without too many "modern" distractions — what life is like here.
Our three themes for building and decor have been:
- natural
- simple
- welcoming
And we hope that it shows!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

ON TRACK: US troops will draw down military presence significantly in Iraq
over next 4 years - 40,000 to remain at least until end of 2009.
Afghanistan, rather than Iraq, will become center of the American war
Kurdish-Arab, Kurdish-Turkish tensions rising as Turkey becomes more
involved and as Talabani prepares his exit. US will make concessions on
Kurdish autonomy in exchange for Turkey*s cooperation against Iran. Small
pockets of jihadist resistance still there, but the security gains made in
Iraq are likely to hold through the quarter. Decisions on accelerated US
withdrawal will come later.
YET TO BE SEEN (wait till after June elections in Iran): Mutual interests
will drive Iran and US toward laying the groundwork for a more
constructive relationship, but do not expect a full rapprochement.
We*re seeing a lot of outreach by the US to Iran to talk, but the talks
will mean very little unless they address the core issues of Iranian
influence in Iraq, Lebanon, etc., recognition of the staying power of the
clerical regime and the nuclear issue. Unlikely that the Obama admin will
have this figured out within the next quarterly, especially as Iranian
elections are pending. For the Iranian elections, we don*t need to make a
call necessarily, but should keep in mind that regardless of who is
president, the SL will still be calling the shots.
YET TO BE SEEN: Possible Iran cooperation over Afghanistan
Iran does not like the idea of the US engaging *moderate* Taliban. We
should expect Iran to revitalize ties with the Northern Alliance as a
YET TO BE SEEN: Global recession will curtail Iran*s spendthrift policies
QUARTERLY UPDATE: STill no noticeable decline in Iranian expenditures for
proxies. Unlikely to see much of a decline either with key elections in
Lebanon due in June.
ON TRACK: Other Gulf states won*t suffer that badly and will use saved up
windfall profits to continue countering Iran
QUARTERLY UPDATE: Except for Abu Dhabi moving to swallow up Dubai. We are
also seeing an aggressive attempt to build a united Arab front against
Iran, of course fraught with typical Arab divisions.
ON TRACK/YET TO BE SEEN: The Kremlin has no intention of following through
with deals, or even intervening in the Middle East in general, unless the
United States unduly (in Russia*s thinking) interferes with Russia*s
resurgence in the former Soviet Union. If that does happen, however,
Russia would have the option of flooding the Middle East with advanced
weapons systems to complicate American efforts throughout the region.
Russia will be playing the Iran card frequently as its negotiations with
the US intensifies this quarter, but we shouldn*t expect Russia to
sacrifice its relationship with Iran in return for the concessions we
expect US to make in the near term (right?)
ON TRACK: Turkey will explore a larger regional role - priorities 1) Iraq
2) regional issues (Israel-Syria, Palestinian, Iran-US, European attempts
to diversify energy supply 3) dealing with Russia in the Caucasus 3)
Counter Russia in long-run - Mideast, Caucausus
Turkey very active in Iraq to contain the Kurds and preparing fill the
vacuum when the US leaves.
Iran will grow nervous as Turkey*s influence grows and works to counter
Iranian expansionist goals.
Turkey working out spheres of influence with Russia, figuring out where
they can cooperate. Related to Turkish moves to improve relationship with
YET TO BE SEEN: Syria will try to resume negotiations with Israel after
Israel settles politically. Doesn*t mean we*ll have a deal necessarily in
2009, but best environment to negotiate.
Likely to see further attempts to revive these talks, but Syria*s focus
this quarter will be on the June elections in Lebanon. The Syrians are
negotiating with the Saudis over their dominant role in Lebanon. Hezbollah
expected to come out strong, Syria will support the development of HZ*s
political arm. There are still plenty of complications holding up real
negotiations with the US and Israelis, but that won*t slow Syria down in
reconsolidating influence in Lebanon and performing a balancing act with
its neighbors.
Israel will get a new government led by Netanyahu. Still unclear if Bibi
will be in a coalition tied down to the smaller religious parties.
Nonetheless, how can we expected a fresh, Bibi-led government in Israel to
act in its first few months in office? Does it need to make a show of
force? If so, where?

Help! I know I'm going to use the old stand-bys -- pansies, kale, cabbages, maybe some snaps. I've got a pretty ivy in each box that is cream and pink with some dark green on the leaves, can't remember the variety.
The scrolled iron boxes are large and they are far enough away from the street that I need plants that will grow 18" - 24" tall and have some major impact with the color. Some boxes are in sun, some in part shade. House is taupe and European. I've got 12 boxes. Adding a few perennials or small evergreen shrubs in plum or wine color could be okay, but they would need to stay 12"- 18" wide and 18"-24" tall, so that I have room for the seasonal annuals. Is there anything annual and showy for late fall/winter/early spring that I'm missing? Anything new out there? Thanks!
Follow-Up Postings:
It seems like snapdragons have become very popular lately and they grow tall. Perhaps someone that has used them can comment on how well they do. And I am not above sticking a couple of plastic flowers in with the live stuff. Lots of people don't know the difference, especially from the street. The weather is pretty hard on them, though, you usually have to get new ones every year. |
Do snapdragons withstand the cold? |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Sun, Oct 19, 08 at 22:55
The little pixie lorapetalum would work - they stay low, mix those with some pansies or violas and Kale with blue and purple foliage, some ivy to trail (many are hardy and don't grow too wild too fast) to trail and it would be so pretty! |
GGG -- great idea! I've googled Loropetalum Little Pixie and don't get anything. I was looking for growth habit and other details. Can you fill me in? And does anyone know where to get some Little Pixies? I didn't see any at my Pike yesterday. Bev -- I got some snaps 3 years ago and thought they would just last through the fall, but when I thought I should rip them out, they were perking up and then they bloomed again early spring. The Pike guy said they were probably reseeds, but it was happening on the original plants. I have gotten some volunteers, too, so they do re-seed. I'll let you all know if they continue to live this year. They're in containers in a shelterd area, so maybe that's why they've hung on. I smelled something fabulous yesterday at the nursery and it turned out to be stock. I've never grown that before, but it's beautiful and the right size. Would that be a good choice for an overwintering annual here? |
Gayle -- Technically the name of the shrub is Purple Pixie, I think. It's one of the plants that Southern Living is marketing. Try this link. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Southern Living Plant Collection
Me again. GGG -- I found "Purple Pixie" and think that's what you meant. The height is perfect, but I'm worried about the 3 foot spread for the window boxes. Can it be controlled without damaging it? Even if it doesn't work in the window boxes, the "Purple Pixie" is perfect for another spot I was trying to figure out, so THANKS!! |
- Posted by girlgroupgirl 8 Atlanta (My Page) on Mon, Oct 20, 08 at 10:39
Nita and I have been discussing this little shrub (yes, Purple Pixie, I forgot it's name last night) and she said that it seems to do fairly well in containers as it does not seem to get as large as it says it will. Or at least not fast at all. So it should be very controlable. It also likes to be so low that planted with the root ball on an angle, it would "Drip" out of the pot. I've had my eye on them at Lowes. They are not cheap. Have tried to get them in where I work but they have not been available to us. I really like them and am considering using them in several places where I need evergreen purple groundcover. I am thinking of alternating them with the decidious "Golden elf" spirea which is equally as tuff and keeps it's lime green color all year - unlike all other spireas I've tried. GGG |
Lowes (Edgewood) has Purple Pixie for $14.95 for 1G. The odd thing is that I bought a couple there a few weeks ago and I am positive I paid about $7 each. All their other Loropetalum varieties are $7ish for a 1Gal. Maybe I just got mistakenly charged the lower price. I want to buy 4 more but I'm reluctant at the higher price! Please post on here if you find them for less :) I think you could also prune it to size without damaging it if it grew wider than you wanted. |
Gayle...thanks for your reply! I just never knew snapdragons would withstand the cooler temps...I'm gonna have to find some now. Beverly |

Sleepily eyeing a peak in world oil output
Some analysts cite a lack of preparation for a looming economic event.
Last week the price of crude oil broke new records, running about $110 a barrel. That's well above the previous record (in inflation-adjusted dollars) reached in 1980 after the revolution in Iran resulted in the nationalization of its oil.
Since tanks of crude are full to brimming, many traders in oil markets suspect that $110 could be the top price for now. But a growing number of oil-market analysts reckon the supply of oil to the world economy has reached a peak or is about to. The discoveries of new oil are now exceeded by the output of old oil. At some point, global oil output will start to decline, as happened in the United States in 1971.
If that is the case, before long $100-a-barrel oil will be regarded as "the good old days," says Robert Hirsch, a senior energy analyst at Management Information Services, Inc., a Washington, D.C., research and consulting firm.
The price of oil in the New York futures market, a financial market that promises the delivery of oil in the future, has already climbed more than $20 in the past two months.
Global oil production has been on a plateau at around 85 million barrels per day (b.p.d.) for about 3-1/2 years. It is widely debated whether that output level could be pushed much higher to reach demand in the future, which, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris, could reach 98.5 million b.p.d. in 2015 and 116.3 million b.p.d. in 2030.

Executive Summary
Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is an autonomous system of mobile nodes connected by wireless links. Each node operates not only as an end system, but also as a router to forward packets. The nodes are free to move about and organize themselves into a network. These nodes change position frequently. The main classes of routing protocols are Proactive, Reactive and Hybrid. Ad hoc wireless networks are characterized by multi-hop wireless connectivity, infrastructure less environment and frequently changing topology.
