NYC real estate is undergoing a great transformation with the increased construction of new developments throughout the City. This trend is most popular when it comes to Manhattan condos and apartments because it allows buyers the opportunity to stay away from stringent co-op boards. New Development markets also are attractive because they have upside potential - the opportunity to see your property value appreciate before you close. Seeing your real estate investment appreciate before closing, if one is buying early enough, is especially important in the current market.
The Manhattan New Development opportunities offer an exciting opportunity for our customers to buy Manhattan apartments and condos. This is especially true for the first time buyer or investor. With more than 95% of all new construction being built as condos, first time buyers can forego the challenges and anxieties of dealing with cooperative boards.

10 Hollywood stars who need a hit
Jim Carrey, Harrison Ford, Nicole Kidman and others struggle to get back on top
« Previous gallerySix new action-packed 'Avengers' character banners hit the web
Jim Carrey
The situation: The rubber-limbed star is still an international draw, but despite efforts to diversify his playbook, Carrey's recent films have been too costly to make much of a profit -- if at all. After a soft opening, 2005's $100 million "Fun With Dick and Jane" limped to a profit in the U.S. "Yes Man" fared marginally better in 2008, while 2009's $200 million mocap epic "A Christmas Carol" is still in the red. We won't even address 2007's "The Number 23." Last year's "Mr. Popper's Penguins," scored overseas, but cost north of $50 million and only scraped up $65 million domestic. His days of frequent blockbuster hits (the "Ace Ventura" films, "Liar Liar," "The Grinch," "Bruce Almighty") may be behind him.
Why there's hope: He's reuniting with his "Bruce Almighty" co-star Steve Carrell on "Burt Wonderstone," only he's playing second fiddle. Furthermore, the film won't be out until 2013, meaning 2012 isn't likely to be Carrey's year.

Thanks for the help.
Re: Shire food & menus
This is mostly my gut impression, though, without a lot of deep thought put into it. You could probably make a case for much more elaborate meals at, say, Brandy Hall or the Great Smials, especially on high occasions.
If you try to extrapolate where these more "exotic" supplies would be coming from (across the Shire? Rivendell? Gondor?) that might give you an idea of how realistic the chances of them turning up in Hobbiton are.
There are also a couple of other HASA threads where people have discussed the eating habits of Hobbits in (sometimes tantalizing )detail:
Hobbit Feeding Habits
Sugar in Middle-earth
Re: Shire food & menus
I realize now that all the hobbit meals in my stories are occuring at either Brandy Hall or the Great Smials--I guess I've been taking this approach as a way of underlining the class differences between the Tooks & Brandybucks & the rest of the Shire, now that I think about it.
Hmmm. . .must do some more thinking now.

He's a storefront revivalist, working the pews. His eyes are bright, keen, piercing, as if backlit by the fervor of conviction. His brow is beaded; his shirtfront is damp. His voice rises, a crescendo of persuasion, a clarion for the cause. With the crescendo come the nods of the converted, at first hesitant, then quick. With the nods come shouts of affirmation and exultation.
Move the action from a church to a pigsty, out on the coastal plain beyond Raleigh, in Pender County, North Carolina. And then conjure Ed Mitchell, a 59-year-old barbecue pit—master, who, before heeding the call, was cooking in a cinder-block emporium on the outskirts of nearby Wilson. Dressed in blue overalls, Mitchell paces the muck on a January day, testifying to third-generation hog farmers Mary and Nelson James. His Old Testament gravitas is leavened by a modicum of Jesse Jackson populism. "I'm here," Mitchell announces, sweeping his arms wide. "I was sent. There's a reason!"
"I've been farming since I was a weed hopper," Nelson James confesses. "But, to tell you the truth, I was thinking on getting out. I just knew the big man was going to come in and swoop this up. That was my nightmare."
Mitchell drapes his arm across the wiry man's back and shows the man's wife a toothy grin. Although this is the first time Mitchell and the Jameses have met, they are brothers and sisters in bond. The transformation is instantaneous—and puzzling, for Mitchell has yet to explain to them how, by contracting with farmers to rear hogs for a nascent chain of barbecue restaurants, he hopes to rescue the small North Carolina farmer from the brink of extinction. He has not sketched his idea of returning great pork—the round-flavored pork he knew as a child, before the industry embraced confinement pens and waste lagoons and lean-generation genetics—to working-class eaters. He wants to build a hog—his own hog—from the hoof up.
But Mary James is already in his thrall. She looks into his face and sees promise. Apropos of nothing but Ed Mitchell's quick and forceful words, his presence, she shouts "Hallelujah!" Nelson James ducks his head low and then cranes up toward Mitchell. "I tell you what," he says. "Your talking makes me feel like going out back and doing a little farming."
Mary and Nelson James have known hope before. Back in 2002, they signed on to raise hogs for the evolving niche market pioneered very successfully by Niman Ranch out in the Midwest. Niman wanted hogs with more intramuscular fat, which results in pork with more flavor. The idea was that by raising animals that met such standards, small local farmers might stanch the loss of ancestral lands.
But tensions arose. Some farmers in the program complained that, although Niman Ranch paid a premium for better hogs, for antibiotic- and growth-hormone-free hogs, the differential was not enough. Others chafed under a marketing plan that effectively ignored North Carolina provenance in favor of the overarching Niman brand. And some black farmers—like the James family—wondered aloud whether a white-controlled company based on the West Coast could possibly have their best interests at heart.
Into this fray stepped Mitchell. He did not purposely exploit Niman Ranch's weaknesses. He did not talk of race or kindle the flames of provincial pride. But he took stock of his own talents. And he learned how to leverage them. Among Mitchell's gifts is an instinctual ability to garner good press. Even while he has struggled—and, to a certain degree, failed—to compete with Wilson barbecue stalwarts like Parker's and Bill's, Mitchell and his eponymous restaurant have, in the past couple of years, snagged a page one story in The New York Times and a recurring headliner gig at Manhattan's Big Apple Barbecue Block Party. For outlanders in search of authentic North Carolina barbecue, Mitchell has become the go-to guy.
Many of his acolytes might be surprised to learn that Mitchell came late to barbecue. In a business dominated by third- and fourth-generation restaurateurs, he is an accidental pitmaster. After earning degrees in sociology and public administration, Mitchell signed on with Ford Motor Company and moved north. But when his father fell ill, his mother called him home. Shortly after his father died, in 1990, Mitchell began cooking whole hogs for his mother to sell by the sandwich at the family store.
Like any good barbecue man, he honed a repertoire of techniques. He learned to bank his pits, to stack them with charcoal and hickory so that the temperature held steady through the night. Following his mother's lead, he began soaking his wood in a salt- and pepper-spiked vinegar solution that, when ignited, perfumed the pork with more than mere wood smoke.
Although he was new to the business, he was not new to the whole-hog style found in the eastern reaches of North Carolina. "Used to be that you cooked a pig when you brought the tobacco crop in," Mitchell recalls. "And I would stay up late with the old men when they cooked. I was too young for the 'shine they passed around, so, as the evening grew long, I took on more of the responsibility. Sometime in the middle of the night, they usually fell out. It was my pig from then on."
Ed Mitchell's belief in the supremacy of pork of the sort raised by the James family and marketed by Niman Ranch is of more recent vintage. In fact, he never thought about the inferiority of factory-farmed pork until, in the spring of 2003, he cooked a hog that had been bred to be succulent instead of lean, a hog that had spent much of its life in a pasture, eating sweet-potato culls and field corn.

I don't suppose this would be too difficult a feature to impose, so how about a world variable which would dictate how the game handles the luminosity of areas, as far as appearance goes. This idea came to me a couple of days ago when I was pondering the effects of transparent icons in BYOND games.
I'd like to propose a system where the darkness can be replaced by an icon, and if that icon has an alpha value less than 255 or not all 1024 pixels are used up, the user can see what's beneath the darkness, in view() and all the like procedures. The luminosity of other atoms should still clear the darkness like usual. I have provided an example of my request here: http://www.byond.com/members/CaptFalcon33035/files/ Example_src.zip
If it is already possible, why should it become an official patch to BYOND? Well, if you saw the example, my response to that question is simple enough--movement appears too choppy and the system overall just seems... well, inefficient and hacky.
By the way, you readers have better ideas about the efficiency of my idea in DM code, please tell me. Most of all, I'd love if this could be smoothed out to go in sync with movement.
I've tried to use an overlay of a solid, translucent tile to cancel out the night overlay, but that's been ineffective so far. I can't figure out the appropriate colors and values of the tile. I really don't know if it's even possible--I'd assume it is, but if opposites don't work, what will? It seems only fitting that rgb(255, 255, 255, 50) over rgb(0, 0, 0, 155) would balance the colors, but alas! it does not.

General Robert L. Van Antwerp:
We write to request that funds allocated to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for the cleanup of Onondaga Lake not be used for administrative printing purposes. Rather, funds obligated under the ARRA, should be used to create or sustain jobs that will build, repair or lay the ground work for critical infrastructure projects in Central New York and across the nation. Specifically, we ask ACOE to reprogram this $120,000 in ARRA funds for projects that will create and sustain jobs cleaning up Onondaga Lake.
We understand that a portion of the $120,000 in ARRA funds administered through ACOE for Onondaga Lake cleanup may, in fact, be used for reprinting a 2001 Lake clean-up report. This is a mistake and is not in the keeping with the spirit or intent of the economic recovery legislation we supported. We never believed that funds should be used merely for printing.
The United States is facing an economic crisis that is unparalleled in recent history. ARRA was passed in order to stabilize our economy and put America on the path to economic recovery. As you are aware, Congress provided hundreds of billions of dollars through the ARRA to put Americans back to work -- and sustain at-risk employees -- on projects that build infrastructure, improve our environment and enhance our national security and public safety. To marry this goal with the long-sought-for clean-up Onondaga Lake means putting people to work on the actual project and not merely re-printing existing studies.
We are eager to work with the ACOE to both ensure that the funds allocated in this instance conform to the intent and spirit of ARRA and to determine the best way forward for Onondaga Lake clean-up. ... Thank you for your consideration of this important matter.
Charles E. Schumer, United States Senator

Labor spends up as China slows down
PUBLISHED: 31 Aug 2012 00:11:33 | UPDATED: 31 Aug 2012 00:32:42PUBLISHED: 31 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 31 Aug 2012The Australian Financial Review
Concerns about a slowdown in China's growth have sparked panic selling of iron ore that has seen the metal's benchmark price collapse to a three-year low. In the past month alone, the price of iron ore delivered to China's Tianjin port has tumbled by close to 25 per cent, dragging down the shares of companies such as BHP Billiton, Fortescue Metals Group and Rio Tinto.
This big dip in the spot price of iron ore not only highlights the Australian economy's heavy reliance on exports of the metal to China, but also the glaring failure of our political leaders to implement the policy settings required to deal with increased exposure to commodity market volatility.
China now accounts for a quarter of all Australian exports, with the total value of shipments to the world's second-largest economy jumping by more than 1000 per cent in the past decade to reach $77 billion in the 12 months to June 2012. Monthly exports to China are now nearly twice what we ship to Japan and dwarf Australia's overseas sales to markets such as the United States and the European Union. But more than half of Australia's shipments to China are a single commodity – iron ore – with coal also accounting for a big proportion.
Surging iron ore prices that reached an unprecedented $US191.90 per metric tonne in February 2011 at the peak of the first phase of the mining boom contributed to what Treasury secretary Martin Parkinson described this month as an unsustainable "bubble" in tax revenue for the federal government and helped Australia survive the global financial crisis.
Yet weaker demand from Chinese steel mills and increased competition from suppliers in South America and Africa have seen the price of iron ore halve since that time to $US90.30 per dry tonne this week.
While Dr Parkinson warned that the "buoyant" tax receipts of the mid-2000s that funded big-ticket spending and income tax cuts would not be repeated, the Gillard government has ignored the advice of its most senior econocrat. In the past month alone, Labor has announced plans for an unprecedented spending spree that, according to analysis by The Australian Financial Review, will require future governments to raise an additional $120 billion in revenue by the end of the decade. The plans include the National Disability Insurance Scheme, a new dental plan, and school funding reform following the Gonski report.
Wayne Swan has grudgingly conceded that iron ore prices have fallen by more than what the government estimated at the time of the May budget. But the Treasurer disputes our analysis, saying among other things that we have created an artificial eight-year benchmark for assessing the budget. But this is our point: governments have created an artificial four-year horizon that lets them fiddle with spending and push difficult issues into the darkness beyond the estimates period. Our estimates may come from the back of an envelope, but this is better than the zero guidance provided by Canberra over the sustainability of our budget position and Labor's central political narrative that high commodity prices will deliver super-sized profits to resources companies operating in Australia that should then be redistributed by way of the mining tax.
Notwithstanding their recent declines, global commodity prices are likely to remain at levels above those of the past few decades as China and India continue to industrialise and urbanise. Our commodity export volumes will also pick up substantially as the $260 billion currently in our mining investment pipeline comes on stream over the next few years.
But Australia's terms of trade have peaked and are declining from their record highs as commodity prices ease, leading to weaker nominal gross domestic product growth that will in turn reduce tax revenue and hit the budget bottom line.
Last week's decision by BHP Billiton to mothball its $US20 billion Olympic Dam extension project was the clearest signal yet that the resources boom has entered a third phase that will see miners adopting a more cautious approach to future investment plans. This will probably mean mining investment starts to detract from GDP growth from 2014, about the same time some of Labor's ambitious new spending plans get under way.
Yet the minority Gillard government appears oblivious to the price volatility of commodities such as iron ore and uncertainties about China's recent slowdown, blithely handing out billions of dollars in goodies in a desperate bid to hold on to at least some of its traditional Labor voters at next year's election.
The Coalition has a lot of work to do to convince voters of its fiscal prudence. But it is in opposition, not government.
Having already squandered much of the wealth that has been generated to date by the China-driven mining boom, Labor now seems intent on blowing anything that is left for their own petty political gain.

LEADWOOD, Mo. (KMOV.com) -- A Leadwood police officer facing felony charges is back on the job, while a criminal investigation continues on his alleged wrongdoing.
Eric Smith, 29, was arrested in December for allegedly taking orders and deposits for taxidermy work that he did not complete.
After the arrest, Smith was suspended and placed on administrative leave.
"The board talked, and since he went to court and they postponed it, I think they were trying to drop the charges to a misdemeanor," said Leadwood Mayor Dennis Parks. "So we feel that he is not a danger, so we allowed him to come back to work."
Parks said he did not want to keep Smith from earning a paycheck for a crime he has not been convicted of doing.
"If he was a danger, he would not come back to work," Parks said.
Some Leadwood residents told News 4 they are concerned, not about the charge, but the example Smith should be setting as a police officer.
Smith's hearing has been postponed until the end of February. If convicted, Smith would be forced to leave his post due to laws prohibiting felons from owning firearms.

Grumpy old man.
The financial crisis has hit Japan.
Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and the run on Northern Rock in the UK, uncertainty has now hit Japan.
In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches. Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived. While Samurai Bank is soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank is reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black. Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared that staff may get a raw deal. |

text: I believe in anarcho-syndicalism. In this system the people who contribute the most raw labor are the ones in charge of the things they produce. This means that the proletariat (working class) has a large amount of say in how things are run. Figureheads are unable to exert their own leadership prowess or "divine right" on the deluded masses.

I am a crazed cook by night, boring accountant by day. I'm gadget crazy and have trained my husband to shop sundays QVC in the kitchen with David for every birthday, anniversary or gift giving occassion. There are very few counter appliances I don't own, use and LOVE.
I have 3 kids, teen to married. Disabled husband who's bed ridden...so I have a captive audience of taste testers and always somewhere to send leftovers.
I'd die if I didn't eat atleast one green pepper a day...and I eat it like an apple...my most favorite snack of all time.
Then, pasta, sugar, coffee, pasta, sugar, coffee.
Black Bean HummusThis is good, it was a little bland so I used garlic salt and a little red pepper to spice it up. Served it with pita chips — 2/8/2010 |
Careys Homemade Baked Macaroni and CheeseDon't think I'll ever make another mac n cheese..this was fabulous. So creamy will reheat great all week for my teenagers, and its rich in flavor making it a perfect meal without adding meat !! Definitely a keeper...thanks for sharing. — pdxbodyworx 2/8/2010 |
Butter Dumplings for Chicken SoupThese were tasty and perfect in the soup. I think I'd make a more traditional soup next time with carrot and celery, more hearty. Very nice recipe — lisa222 1/24/2010 |
Jambalaya, Chicken and Smoked SausageI love the flavor of this, and it was easy. BUT, I hated the mushy rice. Seems in the hour it absorbed...it just went to goosh. Not appetizing. Is there another rice that I could use that would hold up better? — 1/24/2010 |
St. Louis Gooey Butter CakeThere was no wow factor here for me...tasted ok, was to involved for the fizzle. — sgrishka 1/24/2010 |
Logan's Texas Roadhouse's Whipped Honey Butter[I posted this recipe.] — cecils02 1/22/2010 |
Logan's Texas Roadhouse's Buttery Dinner Rolls[I posted this recipe.] — cecils02 1/22/2010 |
Pizza DoughI made this up for dinner tonight, topped it with provolone and a disk of sausage then a thin layer of sauce and a heavy sprinkle of parm. It had great flavor. I made the dough in my kitchen aid, kneaded it there too, and I thought it turned out on the tough side. Probably my fault...but the crust was to stiff for my taste. In general a good recipe — RKG1 1/20/2010 |
Grandma's Sloppy JoesI seriously came home from work feeling like I didn't have energy to fuss and make from scratch, but it took me longer to pull all the ingredients together than to actually cook it. FABULOUS — sgrishka 1/19/2010 |
Spinach and Mushroom QuicheWent together easy, love the height-filled my deep dish pie pan beautifully. I made some decorative pie crusts for the top. Only change I made was when I made my pie crust I added fresh herbs to it and pre-baked it for about 10 minutes to make sure it stayed flaky on the bottom. Love the recipe!! — 1/17/2010 |
Mushroom Stuffed Raviolimade these this morning, froze them in single layers, and will boil them tonight for family dinner. I add mozzerella cheese to mine. I plan on making a mushroom alfredo to serve over top. A mild pasta dish with depth. — 1/17/2010 |
Cajun Shrimp PastaI loved this recipe. The 2 cups diced..I assume it should be tomato, but I added sliced mushrooms. And at the end, I added heavy cream and reduced. This went together fast, and was delicious. In fact while I was enjoying it I told my husband "I think I've eaten this somewhere before". Don't ask me where but I highly recommend. — 1/16/2010 |
Lite Chocolate Cake CookieMy husbands diabetic, but that hasn"t killed off his sweet tooth. This is a recipe from his childhood that I've played with and adapted to LITE. I tried it will all Splenda and the consistency wasn't right, I made them with all sugar and they still weren't super sweet. I've settled on 1/2 sugar and 1/2 splenda, and I just make sure he doesn't over do. They are good without any icing at all, but sometimes I make a lite milk chocolate icing to bring a little more decadence. — cecils02 1/16/2010 |
Lite Chocolate Cake Cookie[I posted this recipe.] — cecils02 1/16/2010 |
SOUR CREAM CHOCOLATE CAKEFrosting almost takes this moist cake over the top, but pair it with a hot cup of coffee and it works well. My family prefers powdered sugar. [I posted this recipe.] — cecils02 1/10/2010 |
Wendys ChiliI've always loved Wendys chili, because I think it's family friendly. This recipe llived up to my expectations. I made the first batch Saturday for lunch with cornbread on the side, and Invited my kids and their families to stay for the meal. IT WAS GONE. Sunday I made another batch and canned it, made four quarts. Yum Yum — 1/10/2010 |
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store's Dumplings The Side Dish[I posted this recipe.] — cecils02 1/10/2010 |
Blue-Ribbon Apple CakeThe end result of this recipe surprised me. The batter was extremely heavy and I thought dry, but it turned out delicious. I would recommend a bundt pan, center took a long time to cook. I also drizzled mine with (heavy cream/powdered sugar) drizzle. — 1/3/2010 |
Chicken Bow Tie PastaThis recipe is foolproof. Just make and enjoy. Lasts in the fridge if kept covered. My kids prefer it hot, I love the ease of a cold salad. I don't feel flavor suffers either way you choose to eat it. [I posted this recipe.] — cecils02 1/2/2010 |
New York Hot-Dog Chilithis was good. I've never had New York sauce so if it's close..yum. I left out the chili pepper altogether to make family friendly. Delicious — 1/2/2010 |

Fourth of July Crafts

The advent of warm weather is the perfect time to start working on Fourth of July crafts. You can certainly work on them year-round, but crafts for Fourth of July seem to be top-of-mind once Memorial Day has passed. For some great, free patriotic crafts, including 4th of July crafts for kids, peruse this FaveCrafts guide, and you'll be on your way to having a patriotic and decorative Independence Day.

Featured Project: Stars and Stripes Game Box
This great Stars and Stripes Game Box is not only fun to play with -- it's fun and easy to make!
- Delta Ceramcoat® Acyrlic Paint:
- White (2505)
- Opaque Blue (2508)
- Opaque Red (2507)
- Brushes
- Delta Ceramcoat Gloss Interior Varnish
- Delta Jewel Glue™
- Star shaped paper mache box
- Clear and red star shaped jewels
- 5 small round red jewels
- Old toothbrush
- Palette paper
- Water container
- Tracing paper
- Ruler
- To aid in painting the stripes around the sides of the box, use masking tape. The only trick is to make sure that the edges of the tape are securely fastened to the surface of the box.
- To prevent the tape from pulling up the paint from the box, place the masking tape on your clothes, removing it several times to reduce the stickiness of the tape.
- Paint the bottom of the box with sufficient coats of Delta Ceramcoat White to produce an opaque shade of color.
- Paint the lid Opaque Blue.
- Starting at the bottom of the box wrap a strip of tape around the perimeter of the box. Wrap a second piece of tape up next to the first. Remove the first piece of tape and place it up next the second butting the edges up next to one another. Place a third piece of tape up next to the previous piece, again butting the edges up next to each other. Remove the middle piece of tape and continue adding stripes to the bottom of the box, up to the top.
- Paint the exposed stripes on the sides of the box Opaque Red. Carefully remove the tape and dry. With your brush and the appropriate color of paint touch up any places where the color may have gone underneath the tape.
- Thin Opaque Blue slightly with water from an old toothbrush and speckle the sides of the box.
- With a pencil draw a line 3/8" from the edges of the lid. To the center of the lid draw a tic-tac-toe board.
- Using the liner brush paint the lines for tic-tac-toe and the lines along the edges White.
- Transfer the wording to the sides of the lid and paint the letters White.
- Allow the paint to dry and apply 2 to 3 coats of Delta Ceramcoat Gloss Interior Varnish to the entire box.
- Glue the small round jewels to the tips of the stars on the lid using Delta Jewel Glue.
Celebrate the USA with an Independence Day centerpiece composed of painted pots, stars and firecrackers. This is a great piece for outdoor dining on the Fourth of July. For more choices in patriotic painted pots, see this project.

(just 20 hectoliters per hectare produced): Good deep red. Very pure, complex nose melds black cherry, minerals, black pepper, wild herbs and an earthy nuance. Large-scaled, sweet and rich, with a strong mineral underpinning to the flavors of black cherry and spices. A very powerful and impressive Clos Vougeot with outstanding persistence. The crop-limiting effect of the December frost has produced a wine with stunning concentration. (2/ 2012)
(blended from 3 separate parcels). This is unusually elegant in 2010 with its refined nose of raspberry and earth though there are background notes of grilled meat and smoke. The supple, mouth coating and utterly delicious broad-shouldered flavors possess a silky texture yet there is plenty of power and punch to the very firmly structured finish. While there is a certain delicacy present, this will still need all of 15 years to realize its full potential. (1/ 2012)

Tips include:
"Before you visit your incarcerated loved one, let your child know some of the things she can expect to happen. For instance, 'We won't be able to sit in the same room with Mommy, but we can see her through a window and read a story together.' ''
"Phone calls are a great way to reach out. Help your child to think of something she'd like to tell her incarcerated parent, and give her a photo of her parent to hold during the call."
"When explaining where an incarcerated parent is, you can say, 'Daddy is in a place called prison (or jail) for a while. Grownups sometimes go to prison when they break a rule called a law.' ''

9-30-13 Auction to benefit WVU Natural History Museum
Latest Headlines Monday, September 30th, 2013 Would you like to receive e-mail alerts when we have breaking news? Click here!MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – An auction of an avid outdoorsman's taxidermy collection will benefit a museum dedicated to many of the things that make West Virginia wild and wonderful.
Cordie O. Hudkins Jr., passed away in October 2012 at the age of 74. He dedicated his life not only to pursuing his love of hunting and fishing, but in promoting preservation and conservation of the natural world. He left his considerable collection of taxidermy figures to the West Virginia University Natural History Museum to help achieve that preservation.
WVU's Natural History Museum was created in 2008 and is currently housed in Percival Hall on the Evansdale Campus.
"This museum was created because we believe that natural history museums are critical for educating future resource managers and the general public and that they are an essential component of a comprehensive land-grant institution, particularly in a rural state like West Virginia, where people embrace a strong connection with the land," said Jim Anderson, professor of wildlife and fisheries resources at WVU and an advocate of the museum.
"We are extremely grateful to the Cordie Hudkins family for donating the specimens to the WVU Natural History Museum," Anderson added.
This donation will serve the dual purpose of educating wildlife and fisheries students and the public as well as allowing the museum to build and expand its displays.
"The quality of many of the taxidermied animals is exquisite and the specimens will make fine additions to the museum as well as to the collection of others," Anderson said. "We plan to keep many of the specimens donated by the Hudkins family for display in the museum for the public to enjoy and for the education of our students. Some of the extra mounts, that we do not have room for, such as duplicate head mounts of white-tailed deer and mule deer will be sold at auction."
Proceeds from the auction will be used to develop additional displays and dioramas depicting North American wildlife.
"We hope that this benefit auction will allow us to expand on the current museum and build the next phases of the exhibits which include wetland, woodland, and raptors dioramas," said Ann Anderson, WVU wildlife biologist and curator of the museum. "We are excited to finally be able to protect and display more of our taxidermy wildlife specimens in their naturally portrayed environments."
The auction will be held Tuesday, Oct. 8, at the Hazel and J.W. Ruby Community Center at Mylan Park. Registration and inspection will begin at 3 p.m. with the auction commencing at 5 p.m. The auction will be conducted by Joe R. Pyle Complete Auction.
Hundreds of specimens, ranging from the everyday to the exotic, will be available for auction. For a complete listing, please visit the auctioneer's site at www.joerpyleauctions.com.
Hudkins began his career with the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources as an assistant superintendent of the 6,000-acre Babcock State Park. From there, he worked as superintendent of Cedar Creek State Park, North Bend State Park and Pipestem State Park, often referred to as the "crown jewel" of the State Park System.
In 1977 he was transferred from Pipestem to the central office in Charleston as a district administrator for the southern part of the state. In the same year, he was promoted to assistant chief in charge of the planning section. When several projects were completed under his direction, he was appointed chief in charge of the operations section. In 1989 he returned to the planning section, which at that time had expanded to embrace planning, engineering and maintenance to again deal with a backlog of projects.
Finally, in 1990, he was appointed chief of the West Virginia State Park System, and remained in this position until his retirement in 2000.
In 1994, Hudkins received the Cornelius Amory Pugsley State Medal, which has been awarded annually since 1928, and is perhaps the most prestigious award given to recognize outstanding contributors to the field of parks and conservation.
He also received the Oshel Craigo Lifetime Achievement Award, which honors individuals whose support of the tourism industry has helped the industry to grow and establish itself as an important economic development tool for West Virginia, and the Distinguished Service Award from the Association of State Park Directors.
The Hudkins' taxidermy collection was donated to the University in conjunction with A State of Minds: The Campaign for West Virginia's University. Proceeds from the Oct. 8 auction also will benefit WVU through the $750 million fundraising effort that runs through December 2015.

I think the Panthers new GM will be one of the 6 mentioned in the Observer article. If I had to guess I'd say it'll be Gettleman because Accorsi's been trying to get him a GM job for a while now.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 10:39 AM
After three interviews with the Jaguars, Falcons director of player personnel Dave Caldwell has yet to be hired as the General Manager in Jacksonville. Instead, he'll interview a second time for the G.M. job with the Jets.
So what's going on? Glad you asked. (Even if you didn't.)
As we hear it, both teams want Caldwell. But one league source says that Caldwell and the Jaguars had a financial gap that couldn't be bridged, which has prompted Caldwell to explore more seriously the opportunity in New York.
And the opportunity in New York has arisen for Caldwell in part because, as we hear it, Tom Gamble's interview with the Jets didn't go well.
For Caldwell, there's a chance he overplays his hand and ends up staying at Oregon. I mean, Atlanta.

If the Panthers played in Wilmington I would think everyone here would certainly do so..I read my local paper and watch local and national news. I only have so much free time.

This will sound "ageist," but I wish Gettleman was 10-15 years younger lol. I don't know why, but it would make me feel better. I suppose it's in the same vein of question that people have of Ross. Some bring up that Ross has gone on so many interviews but hasn't gotten an offer. Well, Gettleman seems to be a very well respected guy, yet he's been stuck in the same position for 13 (I think) years. Why?
To be clear, I'd be happy with either as our new GM, just throwing out a devil's advocate PoV.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 11:38 AM
Ross is young, but not inexperienced.
Of the candidates we have, he's tied for the second most NFL scouting experience (16 years, same as Paton, behind only Gettleman who's been at it for 25 years).
My ideal situation would be to hire Gettleman for the job now but also hire his eventual successor at the same time, putting him in a position like Director of Player Personnel or some such (something we don't have right now).
Have said before that I'd absolutely love to get both Gettleman as the GM of the present and Ross as his heir apparent, but that's a pipe dream.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 11:44 AM
mr scot's write up was better.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 11:49 AM
Which is why if the pipe dream scenario is exactly that, a pipe dream, if we have to go one or the other, I would prefer Ross. I want someone that preferably could hold the job down for the next decade and beyond. While I'm sure Gettleman could do that, just how long does he plan on working in an NFL front office? He's already in his 60s, is he really going to want the NFL GM grind in 5 years? 10 years? Just makes me a little bit uncomfortable.
However, if he's determined to be the best man for the job, then you hire him.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 11:53 AM
Granted, but what if the best guy for the job right now is Gettleman?
These next few years in Carolina may be rough ones for whomever gets the position. Handing the ship over to a younger guy like Ross might ruin him right out of the gate, whereas letting someone with more experience steer until we're through the rough water (while Ross learns on the job) and then handing the wheel over and saying "you take it from here" might be more practical.
Mind you, there are other guys who could potentially serve as the GM in waiting behind Gettleman. Ken Sternfeld and Kevin Abrams come to mind (though I'll grant Sternfeld's not that much younger than Gettleman, from what I know).

In 2008, Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost oversaw Sebastian Vettels maiden F1 win at Monza. Fast forward to 2013 and Tost is now playing a key role in the development of two more Red Bull-backed youngsters - Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne - who, along with Lotuss Kimi Raikkonen, are on a very short list of candidates to be Vettels next team mate (rumours in Hungary linking Fernando Alonso to the seat appear to be just that). We spoke to him about the race for one of F1's most-coveted seats...
Q: Franz, the rumour mill was working overtime in Budapest on who will replace Mark Webber in the second Red Bull car in 2014. How certain is it that one of your protégés will move over to the sister team?
Franz Tost: The likelihood is pretty high. Red Bull Racing is showing interest in Daniel (Ricciardo) and the decision will be made inside Red Bull. So there is no decision yet - but my understanding right now is that it could, in fact, be Daniel.
Q: Three weeks ago Red Bull team principal Christian Horner spoke of a three horse race between Daniel, Kimi (Raikkonen) and Jean-Eric (Vergne). Since last week it seems to be down to a two horse race: Kimi and Daniel. What happened with the third man?
FT: Well, I think that analysis has shown that Daniel is going strong so far - especially in qualifying - that he has raised his game continuously and there is still half the season go where he can gain even more experience. He must never forget one thing: he would be moving to Red Bull Racing - the three-time world championship team - which means that the bar is pretty high. To race alongside Sebastian (Vettel) you better have what it takes if you are not planning to drown. And I think that Daniel - should Red Bull point at him - has it.
Q: How did Jean-Eric take falling out of consideration?
FT: He didnt expect it that way. But he stayed calm and cool. He is positive that Toro Rosso is a good platform for his future. But lets make that clear: nothing has been decided yet, even if Jean-Eric was never really in the shortlist of Red Bull Racing. As far as I know. Daniel has 13 races more under his belt - and that does make a difference.
Q: What has the future team mate of Sebastian have to have to survive alongside him?
FT: He has to bring a lot to the table, thats for sure. Lets have a look at Seb: hes a three-time champion - at least per today - which indicates his huge talent. Hes also extremely disciplined; hes got a sharp technical understanding - probably one of the best in the paddock; he can fight ferociously - hes proven that time and again; and he is established in a winning team that he has built up with. Remember: when Seb left Toro Rosso to join Red Bull Racing, the team was in no way the winner that it is today - Seb has contributed a lot to make it happen. So if you want to be the new kid on the block you better have all these facts in mind - and show even more commitment to come at least close to Seb. That will be a rough ride!
Q: Sebastian comes across as every mother in laws dream: he is so well behaved, so accessible, so polite. But with just these qualities youre unlikely to make it to the top - there must be something under the surface; a completely different side of the same coin. What is it?
FT: His fighting spirit. Yes, he is open and honest, friendly and accessible, but behind his façade there is a massive fighting spirit and, if that sets in, his opponents have a problem.
Q: Now, youve given us an idea of what skills the new Red Bull Racing driver has to have - but what is it that he must not have?
FT: Idleness, negligence and lack of discipline! If someone wants to survive alongside a champion he has to focus 100 percent on his job. He has to live Formula One 365 days a year, because that is what Sebs year looks like. So, if you at least focus on being as quick as him you have to work twice as hard - and thats a pretty tough road for any driver in the paddock.
Q: If Daniel is the chosen one, what final words will you have for him?
FT: Very simple things. I told him that hes got six months now - if Red Bull Racing picks you - to prepare for 2014 and never forgetting along that way that in 2014 you will be the team mate of a three-time champion. Prepare mentally
Q: Thats easily said, but how would he do that?
FT: That in the second half of the season he is inhaling that amount of self-confidence that he needs to survive in a team like Red Bull Racing. A simple example: if the car is not perfect, you override it and dont lament. You work with what youve got as what you got is probably down to your own mistake - so go out and fight! You start to understand that all the others are also putting on their pants one leg at a time - even a Sebastian Vettel. That he is moving over with a high fighting spirit and not settling for a passive role. Our talks move alongside these topics
Q: That sounds like a father figure
FT: No, no, I would never call my role the father figure. Mentor - yes.
Q: Even when it comes to private issues? They spend more time with you than with their families
FT: Thank god with these two there are no private issues. Jean-Eric and Daniel come from stable private backgrounds, though funnily enough I always thought that those coming from difficult family circumstances are the better fighters, as they had to do it from an early age. Anyway, what I like are drivers who are not completely in homeostasis. There are hardly any super successful people who are fully poised as only a certain portion of disequilibrium nurtures boundless egoism
Q: Is that what you also witness with Sebastian: boundless egoism?
FT: Thank god in vast quantities!
Q: If the big step happens for Daniel, is it too early for him?
FT: It is early. He hasnt had a huge taste of success in Formula One so far - and I dont mean that in the sense of driving - but success changes you mentally. You can tell yourself, hey, I can do it. Its a mind game.
Q: You said not too long ago that you keep youngsters for two years - and then the big sorting starts. At the end of the season both will have finished two seasons - will you still keep both in 2014 should one not be moving to Red Bull Racing?
FT: Yes, absolutely. Both are very talented. Both have a future in F1. If you give them a competitive car you will find them at the front.
Q: That sounds like Toro Rosso is on the verge of becoming a normal race team by keeping good drivers - and abandoning the idea of permanently nurturing rookies. Can that be?
FT: The two are still youngsters - 22- or 23-year-olds - so you still can speak about a junior team. As I just said, they show good performance and constantly raise their level so I would always fight to keep them next season.
Q: So lets have a look at Kimi. How would a team with Sebastian and Kimi look?
FT: That would be quite a team! They are two full-throttle junkies!
Q: But weve also seen that two alpha dogs in a team can lead to headaches
FT: I would love to have these headaches! I would even skip aspirin! (laughs)
Q: So when will we have a decision do you think?
FT: My guess is at the beginning of September - after the summer break when everybody involved has engaged in final soul searching.

Pre-Occupational Therapy Track
The Pre-Occupational Therapy Track allows the student to earn a Bachelor of Science in Recreational Therapy while at the same time meeting the requirements for admission into the Master of Occupational Therapy at the Medical College of Ohio. The student will be able to sit for both national examinations and upon passage, have both a Certification in Therapeutic Recreation and a Registration in Occupational Therapy.
In many ways, a Recreational Therapy background is the best preparation into a Master of Occupational Therapy program. Recreational Therapy training exposes the student to experiences in physical rehabilitation, psychiatric rehabilitation, pediatric services, geriatric rehabilitation and services, and mental retardation and developmental disabilities services. Instruction and skill practice in interventions such as craft therapy, horticulture therapy, pet assisted therapy, play and humor therapy, therapeutic groups, therapeutic riding, fitness and relaxation therapy, leisure education, aquatic therapy, creative arts therapy, assistive technology, therapeutic art, and adventure therapy programming will enhance and augment the education of the future Occupational Therapy student. Finally, assessment practice with the Mini Mental Status Examination (MMSE), Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Ranchos Los Amigos scale, Minimum Data Set (MDS) and various other functional and leisure assessments as well as skill development in progress note and discharge summary documentation will allow the student to acquire competencies which are easily assumed in the practice of Occupational Therapy.

What Is Bariatric Surgery?
There are so many people who are suffering from obesity and related conditions. Diet and exercises alone will not help these people lose weight effectively. This is why doctors are in search of methods to treat people suffering from excessive obesity. Bariatric surgery is a highly successful technique to help such people lose weight effectively. There is clear evidence to suggest that bariatric surgery reduces excessive obesity related deaths. This article highlights some important facts about bariatric surgery. Surgeon Center allows you to find doctors and medical professionals in your area. Visit them online here: http://surgeon.center/
Bariatric surgery is based on the principle of restricting the food intake, and decrease the absorption of food in the intestines. The digestive process begins in a person's mouth with the saliva and other important digestive secretions acting on the food once it is chewed. This mixture reaches the stomach thereafter. Digestive juices and other enzymes are secreted from the stomach wall to break down the food. Calories and nutrients are absorbed into the blood during the process. The digestive process becomes much faster thereafter. The digested food moves to the first part of the small intestines where the food is mixed with pancreatic juices and bile. Bariatric surgery intervenes to restrict the amount of calories and nutrients absorbed during this process. This helps a person lose weight quite effectively.
The body mass index (BMI) plays a vital role in deciding whether bariatric surgery is required for a person to lose weight. BMI is determined with regard to a person's weight in relation to his or her height. A BMI of over 40 kg/m2 is clinically described as severe obesity. Even a figure of 35 kg/m2 is taken as the border figure when a person is having other severe health conditions. When a person is suffering from health issues such as severe obstructive sleep apnea, heart disease, type-2 diabetes or arthritis, the FDA approves the use of bariatric surgery a.k.a. gastric band surgery for patients with a BMI of 30 kg/m2.
There are several categories of bariatric surgeries that can be performed. The surgery can be performed using an open approach or a laparoscopy approach. The open approach is done by cutting open the abdomen. During the laparoscopy approach, small surgical instruments and a camera are guided into the abdomen through half-inch incisions. The latest technology allows to perform bariatric surgery using the laparoscopic method. It has many advantages compared to the open approach. Less tissue damage and a fewer post operational complications are some of the main advantages during this process.
Four types of gastric band surgeries are performed today. Adjustable gastric banding (AYB), Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), Biliopancreatic diversion including a duodenal switch (BPD-DS) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are these four methods. Your doctor is the best person to decide on the most appropriate procedure for you. The doctor will check your medical history, eating habits, health conditions related to obesity and previous stomach surgeries before deciding on the best gastric band surgery procedure for you.
The aforementioned is a comprehensive overview of using bariatric surgery for effective weight loss. We serve: Annapolis, Annapolis Junction, Baltimore, Beltsville, Bowie, Burtonsville, Clarksville, Columbia, Crofton, Dundalk, Edgewood, Elkridge, Ellicott City, Essex, Fairland, Ferndale, Gaithersburg, Gambrills, Germantown, Glen Burnie, Greenbelt, Halethorpe, Hanover, Hyattsville, Kemp Mill, Lake Arbor, Lanham, Laurel, Lutherville-Timonium, Milford Mill, Mitchellville, Montgomery Village, Olney, Perry Hall, Pikesville, Redland, Reisterstown, Rockville, Rossville, Severn, Silver Spring, Towson, Wheaton-Glenmont, White Oak, and Woodlawn.

Graphics Cards
Advertise on BeHardware.com
CES: MSI Big Bang Fuzion
Weve had the first motherboard with Lucids Hydra technology in our labs for a few weeks. Made by MSI, this ultra-high end motherboard, based on the P55 chipset, is identical to the Big Bang Trinity, except that the NVIDIA PCI Express NF200 switch is replaced by a Lucid Hydra 200 controller.
To recap, the principal behind the Lucid technology is to use a software and hardware combination to make a multi-GPU without using AMD or NVIDIA drivers. In contrast to NVIDIA and AMD drivers, Lucid drivers dont distribute images or bits of image to each of the GPUs but rather part of the rendering commands. No need to tell you that there are still a lot of unknowns here and that the approach is a good deal more complex. Lucid says however that the solution gives better performance in some cases and above all that it allows any combination of graphics cards you chose, including a GeForce with a Radeon. In our tests, while combining cards within the same range worked in many games, though with bugs from time to time, combining Radeons with GeForces didnt work at all except with 3Dmark and a handful of games with very simple rendering but which suffered from bugs in terms of quality and stability. So, though obviously certain review sites were convinced by an exclusive preview organised by Lucid, we shouldnt get carried away: in practice it isnt usable yet.
MSI has chosen to launch its Big Bang Fuzion card at CES but we decided not to test it straight away as the technology didnt yet seem to be up to the mark and we decided to wait for more advanced drivers that unfortunately arrived just when we were flying off to CES. According to MSI, who we interviewed at the show, the difference between the old and new drivers is like night and day. Well have a look when we get back.
It remains to be seen how useful the system is in practice as if youre going to shell out 400 on a motherboard, youll no doubt also want a high performance graphics card such as a Radeon HD 5800 rather than a couple of older generation cards. According to MSI, this wont be a problem in terms of the positioning of the product whose goal is to offer a maximum of flexibility and position the MSI brand as a leader in terms of innovation and engineering. With this product and the rest of the Big Bang family, MSI want to show what its teams are capable of and try to create a higher end brand image. To depend on Lucids supply of dependable drivers seems a risky strategy!
