SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- SDForum along with The Olliance Group announced today the publication of "The Future of Commercial Open Source Think Tank Summary Report." The open source industry's first ever think tank event, hosted in January, brought more than 70 key thought leaders together to assess the impact of open source on the commercial software industry. Active program participants included more than 15 CEOs of open source companies, dozens of technology executives, industry experts and luminaries and end users. Attendees of this event were given the mission of describing commercial open source software in the year 2010 and the process of reaching that end state.
"The Future of Commercial Open Source Think Tank Summary Report" offers rich insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by the industry. During this six-hour event the level of consensus reached by this very diverse group of expert participants was unexpected, said Andrew Aitken, Managing Partner at Olliance Group. Most notably, the participants recognized and acknowledged that while open source may come to represent a dominant commodity-computing model over the next several years, today it is still considered a disruptive force. Participants also agreed that by 2010:
-- Service revenue will be a much higher component of today's large ISVs -- Open source will not be a business model in and of itself -- Open source will not be viewed as a software, but as an efficient means to develop and distribute software -- Open source standardization and commoditization will bring a shift in focus whereby function will become the single most important factor in software development
While there were few overall significant disagreements among participants there was strong contention in several key areas, especially in determining when changes were coming to the software industry. Participants agreed that changes were occurring and that they would be momentous, but as to when -- 2010 or before or beyond, they could not agree. And the participants were conflicted as to where the resources to drive this community-based development would come from -- would developers become free agents, would users become a much larger percentage of the community or would large ISVs step in?
The questions raised by these key industry leaders also helped determine several obstacles that need to be addressed if open source is to thrive:
-- Over funding by the venture community will result in non-differentiated and flooded markets -- There are not enough developers to participate in all the open source communities. With too many projects and not enough focus on key projects -- there is simply not enough talent to mature open source fast enough -- Fear that businesses will be driven out -- economic recession puts pressure on support for non-positive cash flow open source projects
"For more than 20 years SDForum has been committed to setting the technology industry's agenda while continuing to be a driving force in the technology community," said Laura Merling, Executive Director of SDForum. "The Future of Commercial Open Source, was an event that not only gave SDForum an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to the technology community, but it was a landmark gathering that has provided leaders in the open source industry with insight into the future."

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

These Last Minute Valentine Cards are so easy to make! Gather some yarn and some paper and get ready to make these fun and unique Valentine cards for everyone, including neighbors and teachers!
- Glue stick or your favorite kind of liquid stitch glue
- Leftover yarn scraps
- Card stock, any color or design of choice
- Pencil

- Choose the main paper for your card. I decided to use some pink-and-red glittery paper from Hobby Lobby for mine. The camera doesn't do it justice! Now, bend your card in half.
- Once you're happy with your paper choice, cut out a simple heart template. I used one from online, but you can easily trace and cut your own by hand.
- Trace your heart template over some decorative paper that complements the main part of the card and cut it out. glue your heart shape directly in the middle of the card so it looks like this:
- Grab your hole punch and punch a few holes along the outside of the heart shape. It should look something like this:
- Take about a 7 -inch piece of yarn and weave it in and out of the holes. Take an extra 3-inch piece and tie a small bow. Glue or tie this bow to the top of the heart like this:

Yesterday while browsing the children's department of Neiman Marcus, I came across this black silk organza Poeisa dress. I turned to my friend and said this looks just like one a celebrity wore to a big Los Angeles wedding this weekend.
To see what star wore the super-sized version of this lil black dress, read more.
Ashley Olsen wore a longer more sleek version of the mini dress to Estee Stanley's wedding in LA. But back in her Full House days, she might have opted for the shorter version pictured above!

How economies work – and don't
an answer for Jonathan of the Green Party (Nov 7): "What does 'share our surplus' mean?" Our surplus is the values that society generates synergistically. It's the money we spend on the nature we use: on land sites, natural resources, EM spectrum, ecosystem services (assimilating pollutants). It's also the money we pay to holders of government-granted privileges like corporate charters. We could share it by paying for the nature we use and privileges we hold to the public treasury then getting back a fair share of the recovered revenue. Used to be, owners did owe rent ("own" and "owe" used to be one word). And presently, some lucky residents do get back periodic dividends: Alaska's oil dividend and Aspen Colorado's housing assistance. Doing that, instead of subsidizing bads while taxing goods, is the essence of geonomics. Jonathan: "Is local currency what you mean?" Editor: It's not. Community currency is a good reform, but every good reform pushes up site values. That makes land an even more tempting object of speculation. Now, any good will eventually do bad by widening the income gap – until you share land values.
shaped by reality. In the 1980′s, the Swedish government doubled its stock transfer tax. Tax receipts, however, rose only 15%, since traders simply fled to London exchanges. Fearing a further exodus, the Swedish government quickly rescinded the tax altogether. (The New York Times, April 20) That willingness to tax anything leads us astray. Pushing us astray is that unwillingness to pay what we owe: rent for land, our common heritage. Assuming land value is up for grabs, we speculate. We cap the property tax on both land and buildings and the rate at which assessments can go up; while real market values rise quicker, assessments can never catch up. Our stewards, the Bureau of Land Management, routinely sell and lease sites below market value, often to insiders, says the Government Accounting Office. Once we grasp that rent is ours to share, we'll collect it all, rather than let it enrich a few, and quit taxing earnings, which do belong to the individual earner. That shift is geonomic policy.
the Great Green Tax Shift maxed out" Economically, taxing pollution and depletion does reduce pollutants and extracts – and thus the tax base; plus such taxes are regressive, requiring a safety net. On the other hand, collecting site rent is progressive and generates a revenue surplus payable as a dividend to residents, which can serve as the safety net. Environmentally, taxes on waste and extraction do not drive efficient use of land, as does getting site rent. Better settlement patterns do reduce extraction upstream and pollution downstream. Politically, green fees have less impact if applied locally; local is where grassroots movements have more impact. Yet getting rent usually entails shifting the property tax (or charging user fees), the province of local jurisdictions; both mayors and city voters have been known to adopt a site-value tax. Ethically, putting into practice "tax bads, not goods" skirts the issue of sharing Mother Earth which collecting rent confronts head on. Since nothing is fixed until it's fixed right, ultimately, greens must lead humanity into geotopia where we all share the worth of Mother Earth.
the study of the money we spend on the nature we use. When we pay that money to private owners, we reward both speculation and over-extraction. Robert Kiyosaki's bestseller, Rich Dad's Prophecy, says, "One of the reasons McDonald's is such a rich company is not because it sells a lot of burgers but because it owns the land at some of the best intersections in the world. The main reason Kim and I invest in such properties is to own the land at the corner of the intersection. (p 200) My real estate advisor states that the rich either made their money in real estate or hold their money in real estate." (p 141, via Greg Young) When government recovers the rents for natural advantages for everyone, it can save citizens millions. Ben Sevack, Montreal steel manufacturer, tells us (August 12) that Alberta, by leasing oil & gas fields, recovers enough revenue to be the only province in Canada to get by without a sales tax and to levy a flat provincial income tax. While running for re-election, provincial Premier Ralph Klein proposes to abolish their income tax and promises to eliminate medical insurance premiums and use resource revenue to pay for all medical expense for seniors. After all this planned tax-cutting and greater expense, they still expect a large budget surplus. Even places without oil and gas have high site values in their downtowns, and high values in their utility franchises. Recover the values of locations and privileges, displace the harmful taxes on sales, salaries, and structures, then use the revenue to fund basic government and pay residents a dividend, and you have geonomics in action.
a way to have everybody pulling on the same end of the rope. Last summer's expansive forest fires shed light on growing class resentment in the West. Old loggers and ranchers rankled at the new urgency to stamp out the blazes that threatened the recent Aspenesque settlers. The newcomers expected working class firemen to make protecting their expensive homes top priority. (Chr Sci Mntr, Spt 7) The tinder for this envy? Rich people moving in bid up the price of land, making it hard to afford by people on the margin. The fault really lies with our system of privatizing land value. If this rising value were collected by land dues and shared by rent dividends – the essence of geonomic policy – who'd complain? The more people move in, the higher the land value, and the fatter the dividend paid to residents. Then people on the margin might go out of their way to invite rich outsiders in.
a way to connect the dots. Making the cyber rounds is "The Cavernous Divide" by Scott Klinger, from AlterNet (posted March 21): "As the number of billionaires in the world expands, so does the number of those in poverty." Duh. The yawning income gap is not news. Nearly every issue of our quarterly digest carries a similar quote. Yet the connection was worked out long ago by one of America's greatest thinkers, Henry George, who labeled his masterpiece, Progress and Poverty. Techno- and socio-advances always enrich few and impoverish many. Yet progress also pushes up location values – the geonomic insight (is Silicon Valley cheaper now or more expensive?). Instead of taxing income, sales, or buildings, society could collect those values of sites, resources, EM spectrum, and ecosystem services via fees and dues, which would lower the income ceiling, and instead of lavishing corporate welfare, pay out the recovered revenue via dividends, which would jack up the income floor. Dots connected.

a scientific look at how we divvy up the work and the wealth, how some of us end up with too much or too little effort or reward. That's partly due to Ricardo's Law of Rent, showing how wasteful use of Earth cuts wages. And it's partly due to how a society's elite runs government around like water boys, dishing out subsidies and tax breaks. While geonomists look political reality right in the eye, without blinking, conventional economists flinch. When Paul Volcker, ex-chief of the Federal Reserve, moved on to a cushy professorship at Princeton cum book contract, the crush of deadlines bore down. So Volcker asked a junior associate to help with the book. The guy refused, explaining that giving serious consideration to policy would ruin his academic career. The ex-Fed chief couldn't believe it and asked the department chair if truly that were the case. That head honcho pondered the question then replied no, not if he only does it once. And economics was AKA political economy!
a study of Earth's economic worth, of the money we spend on the nature we use, trillions of dollars each year. We spend most to be with our own kind; land value follows population density. Besides nearness to downtowns, we also pay for proximity to good schools, lovely views, soil fertility, etc. These advantages, sellers did not create. So we pay the wrong people for land. Instead, we should pay our neighbors. They generate land's value and deserve compensation for keeping off ours, as they'd pay us for keeping off theirs. It's mutual compensation: we'd replace taxes with land dues – a bit like Hong Kong does – and replace subsidies with "rent" dividends to area residents – a bit like Alaska does with oil revenue. Both taxes and subsidies – however fair or not – are costly and distort the prices of the goods taxed and the services subsidized. By replacing them and letting prices become precise, we reveal the real costs of output, the real values of consumers. Then, just by following the bottom line, people can choose to conserve and prosper automatically. A community could start by shifting its property tax off buildings, onto land – a bit like a score of towns in Pennsylvania do; every place that has done it has benefited.
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.

Eversole and Surface to be tried together
There will be only one more trial relating to the Jerry Eversole case. We think, anyway. Harris County Commissioner Jerry Eversole and developer Michael Surface, two longtime friends who exchanged more than $100,000 in trips and gifts, will be tried together for bribery in October, a federal judge ruled Tuesday. U.S. District Judge David Hittner […] [Read More]
Harris County gets ready for the shaft
One of the ways in which the state will attempt to address its budget shortfall is by shortchanging counties – cutting reimbursements, raiding funds, and the like. Having already decimated its own budget, Harris County is preparing for further indignities. "When you go to the Legislature you don't want to be whining about everything," said […] [Read More]
What next for Sylvia Garcia?
This story about Sylvia Garcia's last Commissioners Court meeting leads to the obvious question of what she might do next.

Trying Eversole
The Chron wonders if the freshly-indicted Jerry Eversole can beat the rap. That will depend on whether federal prosecutors can convince a jury that the gifts Surface gave Eversole and the actions the commissioner took that benefited Surface constitute conspiracy and bribery. The burden is on the prosecution to prove what legal observers variously call […] [Read More]

Emmett wants to look at "elections czar"
Harris County Judge Ed Emmett thinks we should consider the possibility of a dedicated elections supervisor.

Kenya's National Social Security Fund , the state-run pension company, said its assets retreated 9.2 percent in the year through June 2009 as the value of stocks declined.
Lafarge SA's Kenyan unit said a dispute with the government over control of the company is hampering plans to more than double its production capacity over the next five years.
Citic Pacific Ltd., which is acquiring $36 billion of assets from its state-owned Chinese parent, agreed to sell $5.1 billion of shares to investors including the country's social security fund.
Kenya lawmakers approved legislation that sets employees' contribution to the state-run National Social Security Fund at 6 percent of their earnings, compared with a flat rate of 200 shillings ($2.31) a month now.
Tanzania's state-run National Social Security Fund expects its assets to grow 11.8 percent in the financial year through June 2012, on increased contributions from members.
The National Social Security Fund, Kenya's state-run pension company, will sell its 14 percent stake in Lafarge SA's Kenyan unit, Bamburi Cement Co., Nairobi- based Business Daily said today.
Kenya's National Social Security Fund will "not necessarily" sell its entire 14 percent stake in Bamburi Cement Co. , Lafarge SA's Kenyan unit, disputing an earlier report, Managing Trustee Alex Kazongo said.
Tanzania's state-run National Social Security Fund may invest in a 200-megawatt power plant in the region of Mkuranga, to the south of Dar es Salaam, the commercial capital.

Bullshit. Karzai has no plan to include the Taliban in the government. That is the very last thing he wants. The only people who have a plan to include the Taliban in the government of Afghanistan is the Taliban and Obama.<quoted text> No,they're not Galt. DBWriter talks horsesh*t. The many good reasons for opening talks with the Taliban includes the very crucial one that it back up our main ally Afghanistan led by President Karzai who has staked his political career on opening successful talks with the Taliban--what the majority of Afghanistan's people see as the only way to stop the war .
So, try again.
What possible reason would we have to have any "talks" with the Taliban?
This time, say something that's actually believable.
Then, kindly tell us why we should just pack up and leave now. We could be out of Afghanistan in less than a month. What possible reason do we have to stay?

The studio bills Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway's "Love & Other Drugs" as an unconventional love story.
Robert Downey Jr. is miserable, stuck on a cross-country drive with a creepy Zach Galifianakis in the comedy "Due Date."
Katherine Heigl has again been saddled with an unexpected baby, only this time, no one is going to call her parenting mate a schlub. Unlike Heigl's "Knocked Up" (好孕臨門) co-star, Seth Rogen, Josh Duhamel is emphatically in her league.
Not a single moment rings true in "The Switch," which is unfortunate because it is about a situation in which a lot of women find themselves.
A light-hearted spin on Taiwanese cinema, "Love You 10,000 Years" is created by Japanese director Toyo Kitamura (北村豐晴), starring Vic Chou (周渝民), Taiwan's answer to Tony Leung (梁朝偉).
2010/8/6, 1 Comment
Remember the hoo-ha over whether Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl made a believable couple in Judd Apatow's "Knocked Up"?
"Killers," which I saw with a restful, smallish crowd late Friday morning, brings up a lot of intriguing questions. Here are 10:
If you had a hot tub that could transport you to any era in time, would you really make a beeline for the 1980s?
"The Back-up Plan" gets sitcommy early and often, and just for good measure, throws in old TV favorites Tom Bosley and Linda Lavin in brief roles.

So dark and so cold, my friends don't know this other side of me
from Eminem – Stay Wide Awake Lyrics on Genius
Most serial killers have to put up a front to avoid drawing too much attention to themselves. A single man with no friends that lives alone fits the bill for a serial killer pretty well, so some will forge fake relationships in order to "fit in" better. But these "friends" have no idea what Slim Shady is capable of.

Visitor, 1998 Cadillac Eldorado, 97,235 mi
i've owned 3 cadillacs and an aurora wich runs the same engine as cadillac and had the same problem with all 4 vehicles, they all stall at traffic stops. I was told by the dealership mechanic that this is a common problem due to the casing of the sensor becoming brittle by the engine heat.
Visitor, 2001 Cadillac Eldorado, 60,000 mi

Good morning I have a Belkin FSD7130 wireless access point connected to a netgear wired router which is working fine but as I recently bought a Kindle I needed the password to allow it to use the WIFI, Unfortunately I forgot the password and I had to do a complete reset to wipe the password. The problem is now I have an unsecured wireless network and I can't access the router setup page on 192.168.2.1. Finally the question, do I need to access the setup page over the wireless or can I get via the router from a wired connection and how?. Rgards and thanks in advance AG

lotus flower / white / green / leaf / - , ハスの花, 莲花, گل لوتوس, Fleur de
Lotus, Lotosblume, कुंद, 연꽃,
Please view this white lotus flower and the leaf image on black BackGround- thanks
Lotus flower video (on white) + music by Ahmad Farzad
White Lotus Flower / green / leaf / white / flower / background /
The lotus flower appeared in legends originating from ancient Egypt. It played an important part in ancient Egyptian religion. The pure white lotus flower, the only plant to fruit and flower simultaneously, emerges from the depths of the muddy swamp. Growing from the mud at the bottom of ponds and streams, the exquisite Lotus flower rises above the water and is usually white or pink with 15 or more oval, spreading petals, and a peculiar, flat seedcase at its center.
Sesen A Lotus Flower. This is a symbol of the sun, of creation and rebirth. Because at night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again. According to one creation myth it was a giant lotus which first rose out of the watery chaos at the beginning of time. From this giant lotus the sun itself rose on the first day. A symbol of Upper Egypt .The lotus flower played a prominent role in the version of the creation story that originated in Heliopolis. Before the universe came into being, there was an infinite ocean of inert water which constituted the primeval being named Nun. Out of Nun emerged a lotus flower, together with a single mound of dry land. The lotus blossoms opened, and out stepped the self-created sun god, Atum, as a child. A slightly different version of the creation story originated in Hermopolis. In that version, the sun god who formed himself from the chaos of Nun emerged from the lotus petals as Ra. The lotus is a flower which opens and closes each day. His history went on to say that the petals of the lotus blossom enfolded him when he returned to it each night.
The lotus flower has been featured extensively throughout the art of
ancient Egypt. In various works of art, you may see it held in the
hand of a god or human, serving as a border to outline a section of
the artwork, unfolding to reveal various gods or humans, and many
other depictions. The ancient Egyptians from the 4th dynasty greatly
valued the sacred lotus, in religious ceremonies and funerals. The
ancient Egyptians developed the art of counting to a high degree, but
their system of numeration was very crude. For example, the number
1,000 was symbolized by a picture of a lotus flower, and the number
2,000 was symbolized by a picture of two lotus flowers growing out of
a bush.

Ross in the last issue of the Haunted Hulk saga himself states that while he hates what happened, it's his responsibility and power. So while he does regret throwing his old life away, he has never been more coherent now than ever in his military career after the death of his wife Karen.
So he's starting to think of himself less like a regular human, and more like a shape-shifter.

Product description
The volume describes the Chinampa Agricultural System, its history and its role in Aztec empire-building. It contains chapters on the history of Aztecs and the Valley of Mexico, and concludes that the Chinampa Agricultural System, employed by Aztecs as the main form of agricultural system, is one of the most important variables in settlement of the nomadic Aztec tribes, expansion of the tribes, the Aztec state formation, and ultimately in Aztec empire-building and its expansion. Several relevant and rich scholarly sources have been identified, through which inferences have been made using specific evidence, and inductive and deductive reasoning. The inferences made through these sources suggest the viability of the hypothesis that the Chinampa Agricultural System was one of the most important elements in the Aztec empire-building process.

Chimera Violet Hawaiin Trail Flowers
I bought a few months ago Chimera Violet Hawaiin Trail on eBay (blue flowers with white stripes). It was without flowers healthy plant. The seller stated in the add that this plant had been flowering true. I replanted the violet and it produced 7 suckers that I had cut off two months ago. Now it is producing more suckers and two days ago the first flower appeared. It didin't fully opened up yet, but I can see that there are no white stripes as it suppose to be. I use Schultz violet fertilizer and grow all my plants under the flourescent light. The plant is next to the window and gets also shaded sun light during a day. The fluorescent lights are warm and cool and I leave it at least for 14 hours or more.
During a summer the temperature between 25-30 degrees C. Now it is less warm, around 25 C. I also use humidifier (60-70 %) in the room.
1 For some reason half of the leaf is green and half became reddish. May be too much light or fertilizer?
2 Is it possible that true chimera lost stripes for some reason or I am doing something wrong?
The plant is more under cool light than warm, I moved it to the middle of the shelf today, may be this is the reason why violet lost stripes on the flowers?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

NEW CASTLE - Oldham County's path through the Region 8 Tournament leading up to the championship game Tuesday night was easy. The Colonels defeated two opponents by a 29 point average and put up over 70 points in each game. Unfortunately for the Colonels, there was a team waiting to change that trend.
Oldham County never could find it's rhythm against Collins Tuesday night in a 53-42 loss in the Region 8 Final held at Henry County.
**This story will be updated throughout the tournament. Follow @Era_Pratt on Twitter for updates.**
LIVE bracket updates: khsaa.org/2015-state-wrestling-complete-bracket-pairings-results/
LEXINGTON - 5:45 p.m. - The consolation bracket is complete with positive results from area wresters.
Oldham County
126 - Jacob Henley, 7th (defeated Scott Ruttman of Calloway Co. 7-1)
132 - Nick Wise, 4th (lost to Mason Smith by a 7-0 decision)
NEW CASTLE – Hayden Hawes led the charge with 23 points and Connor Hicks provided the spark that sets Oldham County up one win away from the Sweet 16 at Rupp Arena.
The Colonels (27-4) took care of Grant County 70-48 Monday night in the Region 8 semifinals at Henry County High School to advance to the regional final against Collins.
NEW CASTLE - North Oldham coach Rob Burton couldn't have asked for a better start from his team to open the Region 8 Tournament versus Owen County. But rather than delivering a victory speech in the locker room after the game, he thanked the Mustangs for what he calls a successful first season complete as coach.
North Oldham couldn't hang on for 32 minutes with the hot-handed Owen County as the Rebels move on to the semifinals with a 67-61 win, ending the Mustangs' season at 16-16.
NEW CASTLE - Oldham County overcame a slow start and found the energy it was looking for to kick off the Region 8 Tournament by taking care of Gallatin County 75-38 on Saturday.
The Colonels (26-4) move on to play Grant County, who defeated Shelby County 55-47, in the semifinals Monday night at 6:00 p.m. at Henry County High School.
The Wildcats (9-19) put the Colonels off balance early, working well around the Colonels' press in the first half to eventually tie the game at 15 with 5:43 left to go in the second quarter.
Oldham County finds itself in a familiar situation heading into its Region 8 Tournament opener against Gallatin County Saturday at noon. Last season, the Colonels took home the District 29 championship entering the regional tournament with momentum, only to fall short in the semifinals to Simon Kenton. If the Colonels (25-4, 13-1 Region 8) want to write a different script for their future this season, they have to focus solely on the present and Gallatin County (9-18, 6-15).
North Oldham's Grace Oglesby dominantly swam her way into the record books once again at the KHSAA State Meet over the weekend. Oglesby set a new state record in the 100 yard butterfly and the 50 yard free to help lead the Mustangs' girls squad to a 4th place finish with 151.5 points.
Oglesby, who claimed her second straight Region 5 championship a few weeks ago, clocked in at 22.92 in the 50 yard free and set a new state record in the 100 yard butterfly at 51.75.
After two plus years of confusion and "eyesores," a new owner has finally taken over the struggling Oldham Plaza in La Grange.
Todd Clark, of Clark Enterprises, bought the Plaza, situated on First Street, for $3.22 million at a master commissioner's sale last Tuesday. Clark was one of two bidders on the property, which opened with a $3.2 million bid by the plaintiff in the foreclosure, Parkstone Capitol Partners.
In seeking its next director, Apple Patch decided to select someone within its own walls.
Apple Patch Community Board of Directors Chairman Steve Moss announced late last week that Joe Spoelker was named the new director of the non-profit.
Spoelker, who was formerly director of community affairs, stepped into the role of interim director in late January when Arthur Avitabile left the position to pursue other interests.

NRA Blames Video Games, Movies, Media for Gun Violence
A week after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School that took the lives of 20 children and six faculty, the NRA held its highly anticipated press conference to address the mass violence that has struck the nation this year.
Executive vp Wayne LaPierre began by expressing his sympathy for the victims of the shooting but quickly shifted to a series of accusations against the media, Hollywood and video game industry, blaming them for contributing to a violent society.
LaPierre cited media outlets (and their corporate owners) that glorifies killers, movies that emphasize violence and video games that allow players to simulate mass murder. He called for the employment of armed guards at every school, saying it was a matter of having "good guys" in place to stop "bad guys."
"I mean, we have blood-soaked films out there, like American Psycho, Natural Born Killers," LaPierre said. "They're aired like propaganda loops on Splatterdays and every single day.
"Thousands of music videos, and you all know this, portray life as a joke, and they play murder -- portray murder as a way of life," he continued. "And then they all have the nerve to call it entertainment. But is that what it really is? Isn't fantasizing about killing people as a way to get your kicks really the filthiest form of pornography?"
The press conference was interrupted multiple times by protestors from the anti-war group Code Pink; two members ran in front of LaPierre and held up signs and called the NRA children killers.
In blaming the media, he said that news organizations spread false information about guns.
"Rather than face their own moral failings, the media demonize lawful gun owners, amplify their cries for more laws and fill the national media with misinformation and dishonest thinking that only delay meaningful action and all but guarantee that the next atrocity is only a news cycle away."
The media reaction -- LaPierre refused to take questions -- flew on Twitter, nearly all of it incredulous and mocking.
"NRA's Lapierre blames media, mentally ill, video games, Hollywood and media again. This absolutist script is tired," Mediaite founder and former MSNBC host Dan Abrams wrote. Current MSNBC host Chris Hayes tweeted, "Useful reminder: The first person Adam Lanza murdered owned a bunch of guns."
Michael Moore called it the "most deranged, delusional 'press conference' I've ever seen."

Coating Materials
Reports of the death of paper may be premature, as Italian researchers have developed a coating solution that can render cellulose fibers waterproof, antibacterial and even magnetic.
The reactive acrylic coating, from Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Genoa, combines fiber molecules with a nanoparticle solution, creating a polymer matrix that can be used on fabric, paper or membranes.
The technology uses a "simple and cost-effective method" to impregnate individual fibers with a solution containing superparamagnetic manganese ferrite colloidal nanoparticles, researchers report in "Superparamagnetic cellulose fiber networks via nanocomposite functionalization," in the Journal of Materials Chemistry.
Nanocomposite Shell
When the fibers are wetted, a thin nanocomposite shell forms around each one, making each water repellent and magnetically responsive without changing the properties of the overall surface.
So, for example, one could still print on the paper, fold it or use it in other normal ways. The solution can be made more or less magnetic or given other properties by tweaking other components—for example, incorporating silver nanoparticles to make it antimicrobial.
Researchers foresee a wide range of applications, from food packaging and medical documents to secure bank notes, Roberto Cingolani, scientific director at the IIT, told Forbes.com. Waterproof paper could also be used to protect valuable documents, he said.
Other possibilities include magnetic wallpaper or antibacterial papers and wraps.

RE: Honda HRR216VXA blade slowing
ralphpatAugust 30, 2009
HI, just had my transmission and belt replaced on my honda hrr216vxa by my local dealer. The transmission now works great, but they did something to the blade. Once I engage the blade it takes almost 10 seconds for the blade to get up to speed then as I mow a strip of lawn the blade goes slower and slower to where it almost comes to a stop. I sure would appreciate any help on this. Thanks Ralph

Maximum water pressure in home?
I understood that the maximum water pressure in a home should be 80 PSI while mine is actually 150 PSI. If my information is correct how would I reduce the pressure?
Thanks a bunch, Uncle Dewey
First thing I'm wondering is if that reading is correct. 150psi inside a house is HUGE. Can hardly believe you haven't seen something bad happening because of it already.
Assuming it is accurate and assuming you're on city water, you will want a PRV (pressure-reducing valve) installed immediately downstream of your meter. If this is city water and that's your street pressure, I strongly suspect there is already a PRV installed and it has failed. Either way, you'll want to fix it pronto.
This will also "close" your system so you will want an expansion-tank next to your water heater to avoid pressure-spikes. This has been well-covered recently in posts by justalurker if you want to look it up.
If you're on well-supply, it's a whole different deal. Please advise.
I am on city water and we have a pressure control valve which limits the pressure coming into our unit. I also have a pressure relief tank by the water heater and that is where I have a water pressure gauge. and it retains the maximum pressure recorded. When I look the current water pressure is always around 50-54 PSI and today when I looked it had reached 140 PSI since I last reset it.
Uncle Dewey
Then your thermal expansion tank has probably failed. Usually results is a ruptured membrane in the tank. You can check by pushing the air valve on the thermal expansion tank. If you get sprayed by water then the membrane has failed cause there should only be air in there.
I checked and no water came out of the air valve. Could that mean there is too much air pressure between the membrane and the metal part of the tank? Maybe I should remove all of the air through the air valve?
Thanks heaps for your interest. Uncle Dewey
As far as I know the only way to get a spike in a closed plumbing system that has an expansion tank is for the connection to the thermal expansion tank to be blocked effectively taking the tank out of the system or for the tank to have failed. Working properly a thermal expansion tank absorbs the spike.
A 150psi spike should trip the T&P valve on the WH.
In order to check the air pressure in the thermal expansion tank it needs to be empty of water. Here are the installation instruction in PDF form for a thermal expansion tank and it details how to set the pressure... http://media.wattswater.com/2915054.pdf
If you can't find the problem get a licensed plumber in there right away. Those spikes may take out your WH but more important, if the T&P valve on the WH fails bad things can happen.
That's what happens when dealing with a neophyte. I have read the instructions so I know I have to remove all water pressue, but the instructions are first of all for a new installation, but even then leaves me with what pressure should be on the outside of the bladder under no water pressure. Maybe it is plain to others, but not to me.

The following italics are word for word from the installation instructions...
1. Before beginning installation determine the system pressure.
a. Open a faucet to allow the system pressure to equalize.
b. Close faucet.
c. Read the system pressure at the pressure gauge (Figure 1).
2. The expansion tank pre-charge must be set to the system pressure as
determined in Step 1. Pre-charge prior to installation in the system.
Caution: Pre-charge prior to installation in the system.
Do not adjust the air pre-charge of the expansion tank
with the system under pressure. The air pre-charge
should only be adjusted under zero system pressure.
Note: The normal pre-charge is 20psi (138 kPa).
Do not exceed 80psi. If system pressure exceeds
80psi (5.5 bar) it will be necessary to either: A. Add a
pressure reducing valve to the system or, B. Locate the
expansion tank in a riser where the static pressure is
below 80psi (5.5 bar).
a. Unscrew the protective cap from the air inlet valve.
b. Using a tire pressure gauge, check the tank pre-charge pressure.
c. If necessary, pressurize the tank to the proper setting using a manual
bicycle tire pump. Caution do not exceed 80psi.
d. Replace the protective air cap.
So, since you've already said your static water pressure is 50-54 psi we'll use 55 psi as static pressure (54 psi is high pressure but 55 is just an EZ number to remember).
You set the air charge in the tank to 55 psi with the tank empty. Use a bicycle pump cause a compressor can rupture the bladder.
Then you reinstall the tank and turn the water on and then open a faucet to let the air in the water side of the tank come out.
If the tattletale needle on the pressure gauge stills shows 140 psi spikes GET A PLUMBER NOW.
Ya know, there's no shame in hiring somebody to do stuff you can't figure out. For heaven's sake, this is important. If you don't get it, bring somebody in who does. Needs to be right and YOU need to have peace of mind about it being right before you leave it alone.
