Got Trash? NC Residents Throw Away Less
North Carolina residents are throwing less trash in the state's 40 landfills than they have in 22 years. Numbers began trending downward three years ago, and the state average is now less than a ton per person per year. Ellen Lorscheider from the state division of solid waste says that the plastic bottle ban of 2010 is cutting the amount of waste. While that trend is good news for the environment, she says it could also have something to do with the ongoing financial crisis.
"Probably one of the most important things is that is that a lot of recycling has been occurring the last few years," Lorscheider says. "One of the things that made it difficult to analyze is that the economy also went down. There's a lot of waste that is tied to industry."
Lorscheider says the power and construction industries contribute significantly to landfills and estimates about a third of all trash from municipal landfills comes from housing construction, an industry which has been down sharply over the last 3 years.

NEW BREMEN — With just an hour of practice in this season, the Arcanum football team traveled to New Bremen Tuesday evening for the Trojans' first seven-on-seven passing scrimmage of the year.
Arcanum started practice Monday, but it was shortened because of storms that rolled through Darke County. Despite the lack of preparation, the Trojans looked strong on Tuesday.
"I was pretty pleased with how our kids played today. They responded to adversity. We made plays," Arcanum football coach TJ Powers said. "Overall I was real pleased with the effort and how our guys got after it tonight."
Both teams' varsity offenses got eight series in Tuesday's scrimmage. They started 40 yards out from the end zone on each drive and could pick up a first down by passing the 20-yard line.
Arcanum's varsity recorded five touchdowns on the day while limiting New Bremen to two. The Trojans' defense also intercepted a pair of Cardinal passes.
After Arcanum's offense began the scrimmage by failing to score, the Trojan defense stopped New Bremen as Daniel O'Donnell intercepted a pass in the end zone.
On the next Arcanum series, O'Donnell found Kory Baker for a 34-yard touchdown pass. That was followed by New Bremen failing to score on its next drive.
Arcanum's third drive had O'Donnell finding Joe Henning for a 40-yard touchdown pass. That was followed by O'Donnell intercepting a pass for the second time in the scrimmage to end New Bremen's next drive.
The Trojan offense continued to click with O'Donnell and Baker connecting for their second touchdown of the night. After that, New Bremen failed to score again.
In the fifth offensive drive of the game, Arcanum recorded its fourth straight touchdown with O'Donnell finding Dalton Lindemuth for a score.
"We've got some guys who can go up and get the ball and make some plays," Powers said. "We're going to use them. Seven-on-seven, obviously you can't run; we run a lot, but we're going to throw a lot more than we did last year. We're going to try to mix it up more because we have guys that can go up and get the ball, and we have guys who can throw it."
The next three drives, including two for New Bremen and one for Arcanum, all ended without points.
Arcanum's seventh drive saw O'Donnell and Baker connecting for the third time for a touchdown.
On New Bremen's seventh drive, the Cardinals scored for the first time.
Then after holding Arcanum scoreless on the next drive, the Cardinals scored for the second time to end the scrimmage.
"That was the one area where we had a lot of blown coverages," Powers said of his defense. "But, again I'm not making excuses, but we just haven't had a lot of practice. Every blown coverage we had was because a guy thought he had something else; I guess that's the definition of a blown coverage. That doesn't upset me because that's something we'll get."
In junior varsity action, both Arcanum and New Bremen got four offensive series.
Arcanum's offense failed to score on its first drive. But then the Trojan defense came through with a Cambell Gostomsky interception.
In the next series, New Bremen intercepted a pass from Arcanum's Pierce Lindemuth. The Cardinals then followed that up with a touchdown.
The Trojans' junior varsity got going in its third possession with Pierce Lindemuth connecting with Dylan Filbrun for a touchdown.
After New Bremen failed to score on its next drive, Pierce Lindemuth recorded his second straight touchdown pass with a toss to Jordan Mays.
New Bremen then scored on its final junior varsity drive, giving both squads two touchdowns and an interception.
"The younger guys, what I was really proud of them for, is it was a little rough the first few series because we just haven't practiced that much, and they picked it up; they picked it up by watching and then getting some reps," Powers said.
With a lack of practice heading into the first seven-on-seven of the season, Powers credited his players for being dedicated and having player-led workouts during the offseason.
"We've had player-led workouts. Our guys have been real dedicated and serious this summer and really the whole offseason," Powers said. "That made tonight possible to be honest with you."

Word of the Day / Tari: A fresh look at newlyweds
Congratulate the fresh pair, even if you forgot to change your underwear.
Text size
Talk about a "fresh pair" in English, and the topic under discussion is likely a change of underwear or a couple of rude teenagers. Switch over to Hebrew, though – where the phrase is zug tari (zoog ta-REE) – and what you've got are a newly minted couple, generally newlyweds.

KarlaHairDry HairColor Treated HairRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairNeed A Bit More Heat, But Really GoodThis is a better than average flat iron. I've had 2 Sedu irons, both of which I really liked. This one is just as good. How it's better: gets all the way to the scalp without you feeling the heat! I've never had any electric appliance that could get this close to be able to straighten the roots of my hair. Also, does not pull or snag hair if the hair gets wrapped around the end of the iron. Very smooth.
How its not as good: It only has one heat setting, and I need maybe 10-20 more degrees before I think its the perfect amount of heat. Maybe ghd is trying to same us from ourselves by keeping us from destroying our hair with too much heat. But I need a few more degrees. Great iron though. And cheaper elsewhere.2 out of 2 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

It took me longer to get the original regulator out than to put the new one in. The motor on the new one was in a better position which made it easier to fit through the opening. It works great. All bolts lined up perfectly. Has the same wiring harness as original so snap-out snap-in .

Irish American actress Amy Ryan has landed the role of all roles. Staring opposite Irish man Gabriel Byrne on the ever popular HBO show "In Treatment."
Not much information has been released on Ryan's part in the show but it is known that she will take over from Dianne West as Byrne's character , Paul's, therapist on season three of the drama.
Ryan was a big hit in "The Office" and fans were hoping to see her back on the show in the next season but it looks like she has other things on her plate.
Ryan joins Debra Winger as a newcomer to the series, whose premiere date has not yet been announced. Ryan had her big break on HBO, playing a cop on season two of The Wire.

Black box technology has arrived and it's changing the way car insurance works. You may know it as telematics or usage-based insurance; whatever you call it, it's changing how you get a price for your car insurance.
Whether you have a telematics box fitted permanently, temporarily, or use an app which records your driving behaviour, they all look for the same thing; safe driving.
The first thing which may pop into your head when you hear about black box insurance is Big Brother watching your every move, so here's a clearer explanation of what to expect from it:
If you buy a black box policy with Admiral - we call it LittleBox - there's:
"Some black box policies tell you what time of day you can use the car or what you can use it for, if you breach these terms you could face a fine. We don't do that." Joanne Garcia - Head of Telematics at Admiral.
If a black box is fitted we can give prices which reflect the way YOU drive rather than just people the same age as you. Admiral LittleBox is used to better understand individual drivers rather than treating everyone the same. As it stands, younger drivers for example, may find they are faced with higher premiums because of their age, LittleBox helps to combat that.
We also keep you up-to-date on how you're doing by giving you access to your own personal online dashboard. This gives you regular updates on how good a driver you are and what you can do to improve.
You get the same great Admiral cover we provide with all our policies and a few extras:
LittleBox is designed to reward responsible, safe drivers with a better deal on car insurance. If you feel you are being punished for other people's bad driving, and particularly if you're a first time driver or young driver, then a LittleBox policy is for you.
Your LittleBox policy will include an upfront discount and as soon as it's active you're insured to drive your car. We'll then arrange for a LittleBox to be fitted by one of our trained technicians.
The information collected by the box during your policy can help to get you a lower insurance price from renewal if we find you to be a safe driver.
It's great for any driver looking to get a handle on their insurance costs.
Car insurance prices are often influenced by the fact you as the driver may be considered high risk. High risk groups are likely to be looking at high car insurance premiums. Telematics technology can help high risk drivers take control of their prices, groups like:
Telematics is great for high risk drivers but it has the potential to save money for anyone who's a good driver.
If you want to see how your driving measures up without having the box fitted permanently then you can download our AppyDriver app. AppyDriver gives everyone who signs up a £10 discount off a new policy with Admiral.
If you complete 250 miles with the app on, you could get 20% off a new Admiral policy if you're in the top 10% of drivers.

Rock icon Paul McCartney has written an letter to his fans to introduce his 21st solo album 'Memory Almost Full' (Hear Music) on June 5th.
'Memory Almost Full' is the first release on the new Hear Music label (formed by Starbucks Entertainment and Concord Music Group). The album will be available at Starbucks locations and traditional music retail outlets internationally.
Below is a letter written by Paul McCartney himself introducing 'Memory Almost Full' and explaining its creation.
From Paul McCartney:
I started this album, 'Memory Almost Full,' before my last album 'Chaos And Creation In The Backyard' (released September 2005). The first recording session was back in the autumn of 2003 at Abbey Road with my touring band and producer David Kahne. I was right in the middle of it when I began talking with Nigel Godrich about a brand new project (which became 'Chaos And Creation In The Backyard').
After the Grammy nomination when everything concerning 'Chaos' was finished I returned to making this album. I was wondering if I would enjoy it, but actually I really loved it. In places it's a very personal record and a lot of it is retrospective, drawing from memories of being a kid from Liverpool and summers gone. The album is evocative, emotional, rocking, but I can't really sum it up in one sentence.
There is a medley of 5 songs towards the end and that was purposefully retrospective. I thought this might be because I'm at this point in my life, but then I think about the times I was writing with John and a lot of that was also looking back. It's like me with "Penny Lane" and "Eleanor Rigby" – I'm still up to the same tricks!
I know people are going to look at some of the songs and interpret them in different ways but this has always been the case. The thing is that I love writing songs, so I just write and write. I never really get to a point where I start thinking I'm going to write about specific subjects. Inevitably though, what I am thinking finds its way into what I'm writing.
The opening track of the album is "Dance Tonight." I recently got myself a mandolin and I was just playing about with it and came up with the basis of this track. A couple of weeks ago we made the video, which was great fun. It's directed by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and stars Natalie Portman and Mackenzie Crook. We had a good time doing it.
The album title came after I had finished everything. For me, that's when they normally come, with the exception of maybe 'Sgt. Peppers,' otherwise I don't think I have ever made an album with The Beatles, Wings or solo where I have thought of a title and a concept first. I was looking for something that would sum the whole thing up and 'Memory Almost Full' came to mind. It's a phrase that seemed to embrace modern life; in modern life our brains can get a bit overloaded. I realized I had also seen it come up on my phone a few times. When I started bouncing the idea round with some friends they nearly all got different meanings out of it, but they all said they loved it. So the feedback helped solidify the title.
After completing the album I then started thinking about the album artwork and how I'd want it to look. I really wanted to make the CD a desirable object. Something that I know I'd want to pick up from the shelf, something that would make people curious. The album sleeve itself includes an etching by a friend of mine, Humphrey Ocean.
I really enjoyed making this album with David Kahne and I'm proud of all the songs. We had a great time. I hope that the fun we had will communicate itself to the people who are going to listen to it.
All the best,
Paul McCartney, April 2007
'Memory Almost Full' is now available for pre-order at Amazon for a June 5th release. Visit the music database for more information and a complete track listing.

Snipers These fires are best used against key targets that, due to their range, size, or location; visibility; security and stealth requirements; collateral damage; intensity of conflict; or rules of engagement; cannot be destroyed by other available weapon systems. Also, the individual techniques snipers use enable them to gather detailed, critical information about the enemy. However, gathering information is a secondary role, (TC23-14 describes some individual techniques.) The effect of a sniper is measured by more than the casualties he causes or targets he destroys. Commanders know the effect snipers have on enemy activities, morale, and decisions. The presence of snipers hinders enemy movement, creates continuous personal fear, causes confusion, disrupts enemy operations and preparations, and compels the enemy to divert forces to deal with the snipers.
