Alex Quinn
I am Alexandra Quinn and I am so blessed, honored and thrilled to have been crowned your Miss Jr. Teen America 2014. I am so excited to serve and to represent the Miss Teen America system for the coming year.
I am presently a freshman in high school, with dreams of one day attending Harvard medical school and becoming a surgeon working in a third world country. This dream has grown in me over the course of the last three years during five trips to work with medical missions in Haiti. I am an honor student, and student leader of my school's Fellowship of Christian Athletes program and play on the school's golf team. I am in my 9th year of Girl Scouts and am currently working on my Silver Project. I enjoy traveling, mission work, babysitting, snow skiing, golf, and riding roller coasters.
I have been competing in pageants since I was nine years old, and have learned so much from my experiences. I have gained interview skills, improved public speaking, and the importance of community service. I know that I will utilize these skills for the rest of my life. I truly enjoyed competing in the Miss Jr. Teen America pageant and made many wonderful friends.
My heart and passion is working with children, especially those who are disadvantaged. For the past three years I have been traveling to a very special corner of the world, a little village called Cambry. Cambry is home to a wonderful community of people in Haiti including an orphanage that houses 143 children. I am Student Director of a 501(c)3 non-profit organization named Give Hope Global whose mission it is to support these children as well as those at five other orphanages in Haiti. For the past few years I have been supporting a Haitian orphan named Nickson at a cost of $50 a month. To support him I started my own business baking homemade all-natural organic bread. I sell the bread to families in my community and it makes me feel great because I am helping people eat healthy and supporting my friend Nickson in the process. I also travel to Haiti twice each year, which requires me to raise an additional $4,000 per year through baby sitting, bake sales and various fund raising events.
My favorite Bible verse is Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." I cannot wait to see how the Lord uses me this year and I am so grateful for this life changing experience. My plans are to use every opportunity to encourage people to look outside themselves and help improve the odds for those who are starting from a disadvantaged position. Harvard's Dr. Paul Farmer is a personal hero of mine who has spent his life bringing good health to people who would otherwise have not been able to receive care. One of his comments has stuck with me as a lifelong motivator: "the idea that some people matter less than others is a source of great trouble in this world". My hope is that God's plan for me is to be used to help many see that every child is worthy of our help to improve their odds of good health, good education and a good life.

You may have previously read my post about apparel companies spoofing luxury fashion brands, but in Milan, one luxury fashion brand spoofed brands perhaps a little more familiar to the average Joe or Jane.
Moschino's capsule collection, "Fast Fashion – Next Day After The Runway," drew some criticism for its treatment of some of these brands, including McDonald's.
The purse and other items from the line have already sold out. The belt below is still available, but it will set you back about the price of 250 McDoubles on the Dollar Menu.
While this was the debut of the fashion house's new creative director Jeremy Scott, this irreverant style isn't new for Moschino, which has earned a reputation as a playful fashion house that likes to poke fun at brands. It has taken jabs at competitors like Chanel, Versace and Prada (see "Pasta" shirt below), and previously spoofed McDonald's in 1997 with a jacket that said MoSchino's in white against a red and yellow background. Interestingly that collection was likewise called "Fast Fashion."
Is Moschino infringing on other's trademark rights, particularly a mark as famous as McDonald's?
Certainly there are arguments that could be made that the McDonald's brand is either diluted by blurring or by tarnishment. Under 15 U.S.C. § 1125, dilution by blurring requires an association between the famous mark and the junior mark that impairs the distinctiveness of the famous mark, and dilution by tarnishment must harm the reputation of the famous mark. Clearly some association is intended to be made from these designs, but the threshold to show that it impairs the distinctiveness of the McDonald's arches or harms their reputation would be difficult to overcome for a fast food chain against a Warhol-esque luxury fashion designer.
From Moschino's perspective though, under the parody defense, the parody generally needs to simultaneously evoke the original and a contradictory and often humorous message that it is not the original so as to avoid confusion. They evoke the original arches but in a cheeky way. The "arches" differ in an important way from the McDonald's arches – they form what appears to be a heart shape.
And I'm lovin' it.

Skagit County prosecutors have filed charges against the driver in connection with last Thursday's crash on SR 20 near Anacortes that killed a 17-year-old woman and injured her twin sister and friend.
After he was charged, Lamar Blackstock turned himself in to authorities. He's been booked into the Skagit County Jail and is expected to make his first court appearance Thursday afternoon.
Prosecutors are asking for an increased bail of $250,000, up from the original bail of $70,000.
The twin sisters were and their friend were driving to a Halloween celebration in Seattle when an oncoming driver crossed the center line and hit the girls head on. The impact was so severe the girls had to be cut from their car.
The state patrol says the driver who hit them was actually accelerating at the time.
Janeah died; Janessa was driving and somehow survived. She is in serious condition at Seattle s Harborview Medical Center.

Long Island Organizations Honored for Commitment to Cleaner Air
ISLANDIA, N.Y., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ — Clean Air NY, an initiative sponsored by the New York State Department of Transportation in support of downstate New York air-quality efforts, will honor Long Island organizations Friday at the Long Island Go Green Environmental & Energy Conference. The seven Long Island-based Clean Air Champions were chosen for their commitment to improving air quality by reducing vehicle miles traveled by their employees. According to the American Lung Association, 65 percent of New York State residents live in counties where air pollution levels endanger lives. Automobile exhaust is a major contributor to ozone and particle pollution.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090624/NE37166LOGO )
Organizations receiving recognition as Clean Air Champions include:
- Adelphi University of Garden City, Nassau County, for the extraordinary growth of their free shuttle service, as well as their parking incentives for carpoolers.
- BAE Systems of Greenlawn, Suffolk County, for their employee carpool program and support for mass transit and bicycle riders.
- Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. of Edgewood, Suffolk County, for their employee shuttle service and participation in NuRide, an incentive-based rideshare network.
- Clever Devices of Plainview, Nassau County, for offering VIP parking spaces to carpoolers and providing lunch to employees on Air Quality Action Days to ensure that they can stay indoors.
- Nassau County for their Healthy Nassau "Green Your Commute" program, which actively promotes mass transit, ridesharing and a 4-day work week. As of June 2009, 123 employees signed up for a 4-day work week, which is anticipated to cut out 12,792 vehicle trips per year.
- Wales-Darby, Inc. of Islandia, Suffolk County, for providing weekly lunch 'n learn events during the Air Quality Action season so that employees avoid making vehicle trips for lunch, as well as their participation in NuRide.
- Winthrop University Hospital of Mineola, Nassau County, for their guaranteed ride home and pre-tax transit benefit programs.
The Long Island Go Green Environmental & Energy Conference is sponsored by the Hauppauge Industrial Association and will be held at the Islandia Marriott. The awards ceremony will take place from 11:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. Clean Air Champions located in the five boroughs were honored at the new Yankee Stadium earlier in the year.
Clean Air Champions in the Lower Hudson Valley region include: IBM, Northern Westchester Hospital, Verizon, Amalgamated Life Insurance Company, Nokia, Inc., BioMed Reality Trust, Inc. and Jewish Home Lifecare (Mamaroneck branch). Clean Air Champions located in the five boroughs include: New York Methodist Hospital, Jewish Home Lifecare (Bronx and Manhattan branches), SH&E, CommuterLink, Westchester Square Physical Therapy, Local 300 (Flushing branch) and United Nations Federal Credit Union.
About Clean Air NY
Clean Air NY is an initiative sponsored by the New York State Department of Transportation in support of regionwide air-quality efforts. Clean Air NY's network of individuals and businesses believes that every person has the power to help make New York's air healthier and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.

Find more BLIKSEM
These Belgians offer metal, thrash and a wee bit of stoner.
Lightning is one of the most spectacular displays in nature. Bolt temperatures hotter than the sun. Shockwaves radiating out in all directions. In Dutch, this deadly natural phenomenon is called "bliksem." A fitting name for an electrifying five-piece thrash band from Antwerp, Belgium. The storm began brewing in 2007, when Jeroen De Vriese (guitar), Toon Huet (guitar), Rob Martin (drums and backing vocals) and Jan Rammeloo (bass) began crafting their high energy thrash 2.0. In late 2008, their quest to find a singer on par with Chuck Billy or Dave Mustaine takes an unexpected and brilliant turn with the arrival of Peggy Meeussen. Her commanding razor-edged vocals are reminiscent of the late Dawn Crosby (Détente/Fear of God) and Nicole Lee (Znöwhite), slicing through the existing legions of goth or guttural female-fronted bands. Line-up complete, Bliksem starts to send shockwaves across the Belgian underground. In the years to come, BLIKSEM were busy with intense touring through the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland. As supporting act for the likes of ANGEL WITCH, CHANNEL ZERO, PRONG, MASTODON or MEGADEATH, BLIKSEM have proven their status as a dazzling live act. In 2012, Trix Music Centre in Antwerp chooses Bliksem as the first-ever metal band to be its new "Artist in Residence," an honor previously bestowed on highly successful Belgian bands such as Triggerfinger. By June 2012, the band enters the studio to record "Face the Evil" (Alone Records, 2013) the long-awaited debut album. Combining blistering tandem guitars, thrashing drums, pounding bass and furious vocals, the resulting eight songs not only explore themes including revenge, oppression and madness but also celebrate the timeless glory of metal.

Exodus Tyson, the 4-year-old daughter of boxer Mike Tyson, was on life support in "extremely critical condition" at St. Joe's Hospital in Phoeniz, AR Tuesday after she became entangled in the cord from an exercise machine, police said.
The girl, authorities said, was found Monday by her 7-year-old brother Miguel hanging by her neck on an cord attached to a treadmill and subsequently rushed to a nearby hospital. The 42-year-old boxer rushed to Arizona from Las Vegas to be with his ailing girl.
"The Tyson family would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks for all your prayers and support, and we ask that we be allowed our privacy at this difficult time," a statement issued by the boxer's reps to the media said. (Photo: WENN)

+ - Jake and the Fat Man appear at American Demoparty-> 1
Submitted by Jason Scott
Jason Scott writes: "In just a couple weeks, the American demoparty Blockparty is making its second appearance, hosting hundreds of guests and presenting competitions for coders and creatives of all kinds. The guest speakers this year include George "The Fat Man" Sanger, creator of music for decades of videogames from Wing Commander and Loom to Maniac Mansion; and Jake "virt" Kaufman, one of the newest generation of 8-bit music artists. We've also got Jeri Ellsworth (creator of the DTV "Commodore 64 in a Joystick") and a couple dozen others. The whole event is being held in conjunction with Notacon, the art and technology conference now in its 5th year. The vast majority of demoparties are held overseas, so this is a great chance to be a part of a rare stateside one."

Steam Punk Tricorder
Here's a little work I just completed this week. The original design came from Ramiel with a heavy steampunk influence and a back story of a Victorian Science group. (see the plaque)
Then I went ahead and built the actual using lasercut/engraved plexiglass, a little bit of PVC pipe, and some copper wire for the coil.
I then proceeded to mold it making it hollow with a removable back so that electronics and further modifications could be done easily.
And the first casts waiting to be painted. Molded in 12 pieces with copper wire coil.
Right now, the possible finishes are going to be British Racing green and a hammered metal finish. The finished piece is approx. 8" x 5"

Very cool piece. Could you give a little more info on the "Then I went ahead and built the actual using lasercut/engraved plexiglass" part? Is there a resolution to this process? Do you have to sand the piece afterwards?

This thing rules. I love it. Great design, great execution.

I'm also curious about your process of creating the actual prop, do you have a friend with the Laser Cutter or are you lucky enough to own one yourself?
Nice job by the way!!
March 4th, 2007 #5
That is a very very neat model. Can't wait to see it painted!

Thanks for the interest and hopefully I can answer some questions by showing a little more of the process.
My process is fairly simple, I draw up the object in Illustrator and then begin breaking it down into it's component pieces. I then have plexiglass and other materials of varying thickness that I can use to make the components. The nice thing about the laser (which is part of my shop equipment) is, it allows me to cut and engrave the part, and to some extent, make 3d shapes. All the bevels on this project were created directly on the laser. It's also handy to have pvc pipes of all diameters handy for creating things like the tanks and display. I also keep a good stock of styrene shapes for things like the really small tubing and the tube on the bottom of the steam tank, is a piece of sprue from a model kit that was heated gently and bent into shape.
Hope this is a little help to someone. If you have any more questions - let 'em rip!
March 6th, 2007 #7
And the start of both paint schemes.
First is "Racing Green" with copper and steel accents.
Next is "Hammered Metal", haven't decided on the accents yet.

Tuxera Releases GPL-Compliant FAT32 Replacement Package for Android
Combines FAT, FAT32, exFAT and NTFS Proprietary Modules for Linux Kernel
HELSINKI, FINLAND December 29, 2010 Tuxera Inc., the leading provider of Windows-compatible file systems for Android, Linux, Mac and other platforms, announced today the release of a complete, GPL-compliant FAT32 replacement package for Android and Linux. The package combines Tuxeras high-performance, proprietary FAT, FAT32, exFAT and NTFS drivers into easy-to-deploy modules that work with all Android and Linux kernel versions.
Companies who have licensed FAT patents from Microsoft cannot use the publicly available GPL-licensed VFAT implementation, noted Mikko Välimäki, Tuxera CEO and recognized open source legal expert. If you dont license Microsoft patents, you risk a patent lawsuit. If you license the patents, you need to also replace the GPL software in Linux, or you risk a copyright lawsuit.
Unlike other file system vendors Tuxera works closely together with operating system manufacturers to make sure IP issues and legal compliance is taken care of. Tuxera for example became the first file system vendor to license exFAT patents and source code from Microsoft in 2009.
The complete FAT32 replacement solution is to include not only proprietary FAT and FAT32 drivers but also exFAT and NTFS drivers. Both exFAT and NTFS lift the 4GB file size limit, which seriously compromises the use of FAT32 in HD video applications, noted Szabolcs Szakacsits, Tuxera President and CTO. exFAT is required for the next-generation SDXC memory card support. NTFS is needed for universal PC compatibility because NTFS has been the default Windows file system from the mid 1990s to Windows 7 and beyond.
Tuxeras FAT32 Replacement Package is available now for Android and Linux. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
About Tuxera
Tuxera is the leading provider of file systems that allow music, pictures, videos and other content to be ported across devices. With Tuxera file systems inside, users experience plug and play interoperability with their laptops, digital cameras, set-top-boxes, mobile phones and other consumer electronics. Building on the success of open source, Tuxeras industry-standard NTFS and exFAT solutions for Android, Linux, Mac OS X and other platforms have over 30 million installations. Close collaboration with Microsoft ensures reliable compatibility and helps Tuxera to set the standard in high-performance, low power use for embedded and mobile solutions. Tuxeras customers include leading hardware, software, and consumer electronics companies. For more information, please visit www.tuxera.com.

29 ways we love Dubai3 Comments 20 March 2012
The watersports
Nothing beats a Friday morning out on the water. A group of three can wakeboard alongside Palm Jebel Ali at Jebel Ali beach Resort & Spa (04 814 5555) for Dhs80 per person per hour, while more relaxed souls can rent kayaks from Habtoor Grand Beach Resort & Spa (04 399 5000) from Dhs50. Or try paddleboarding round the Burj Al Arab with Surf Dubai (from Dhs75 to rent a board, 050 504 3020) – or diving in the Musandam (from Dhs250 with Al Boom Diving, 04 342 2993).

Is Your CPA Firm Top Heavy?
Leverage and a well-managed pyramid are key ingredients for a profitable CPA firm.
We have been talking about it for years….. Bill Reeb calls it the Upside Down Pyramid. It's where partners work and work until they are "full" and then they push down to managers who work and work until they are "full" and only then do they push down to staff. Meanwhile, staff are sending emails asking for assignments!
In this month's Accounting Today, Gary Adamson has a great article once again stressing this situation. It is titled, "Flip Your Pyramid."
Many firms have evolved to a top-heavy culture because:
- Generational issues, including the Baby Boomer bubble, Gen Xers and Millennials.
- Lack of a people plan with effective, consistent recruiting and staff development processes in our firms. We don't have a process to see enough new faces and we let people hang around too long.
- Promoting non-partner-track people or sometimes marginal folks to higher positions because "We're preserving staff continuity" and "it's best for the client" – - when perhaps it is just the path of least resistance, or we have no one else to fill the role.
- Partner compensation plans that focus on chargeable time. Partners stay busy first. Managers are doing staff work and no one has incentive to push work down.
- It's just easier to do it myself and, besides, I'm a lot more efficient at it.
Do any of these sound like you?
Read the entire article to learn how to start flipping your pyramid.

Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: Even as a four-year-old boy died of swine flu at a private hospital here on Monday, the Tamil Nadu government reassured the people that the situation continues to be "normal." Officials have asked the public not to panic, as the situation is "well under control."
Of the total of 52 positive cases, 12 are undergoing treatment and the others have been discharged. There are adequate testing kits and a stock of over 25,000 doses of Tamiflu in the State. Schools have been advised not to shut down, officials said. Private practitioners have been summoned for a meeting to impart information on treatment protocols.

Re: Going Veggie
I'm sorta going veggie...well not quite, but I'm going for a easily made and healthy soup based diet due to health and finance reasons. Simply, I need to eat better and it won't hurt my wallet since I will be making a lot of my own food a lot more then I used to.
Last night I made a tomato soup that turned out delicious, plus I was so filling and I made so much that I had food for tonights dinner, and tomorrows lunch and dinner if I feel like it!
Also, no, I am not going to eat only soups but I'm gonna try and eat more soups for dinner to help my digestive system during the night. Not be so heavy on it.

It is a haphazard dish, and everything can be changed according to taste, I often use a combination of canned, fresh, and frozen beans and veggies, but it's up to the chef. Here is how I do it:
-In a large pot, saute a white onion and 3 or 4 cloves of diced garlic in olive oil.
-Add a small can of sliced green chilis.
-Add a chopped chayote squash and chopped green beans, maybe green and red bell pepper (any fresh or frozen veggies, canned veggies later)
-Add freshly ground black peppercorns (it makes a difference!)
-When it's nice and browned and smelling yummy, pour in: 3-5 cans of beans (I usually do red beans, black beans, and sometimes chickpeas), 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can corn, 1 can tomato paste, any other canned veggies you want.
-Add a dash of salt (more if your canned beans are unsalted or if you used dry beans), a splash of vinegar, a spoonful of sugar.
-Season to taste with: chili powder, cumin, crushed red pepper, cayenne pepper
-If you really want to wow them, though less diabetic friendly, add 1 bottle of beer.
Cook as long as possible over low heat. The leftovers just get better and better as they sit in the fridge.
That sounds delicious! Though I might see if I (and this gonna sound like sacrilege) will remove the beans. Or at least not do as much of them. I know, I know, no chili without beans, but I'm not a huge fan. Luckily bro is so he might eat mine.

The Kansas City Royals have optioned right-hander Jeremy Jeffress to Triple-A Omaha and recalled left-hander Tommy Hottovy. Hottovy, 30, was 1-0 with one save and a 2.70 ERA in seven games for Omaha, striking out 17 in 10 innings. He gives manager Ned Yost another lefty available for the final two games of the series in Cleveland against the Indians, who have a predominantly left-handed lineup. Kansas City signed Hottovy as a minor-league free agent in November. He made his major-league debut with Boston a year ago, compiling a 6.75 ERA in eight relief outings without a won-loss record. Jeffress failed to retire a batter Tuesday night in Cleveland, facing two hitters and allowing a single and walk in relief. He had been recalled Saturday from Omaha, where he was 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA.

Protesters told: Bring umbrellas, raincoats
Protesters out in the streets for President Benigno Aquino's State of the Nation Address (Sona) Monday are likely to get drenched.
Although Tropical Depression "Ferdie" has left the country, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) on Sunday warned of occasional moderate to heavy rains on the western seaboard, including Metro Manila.
Ferdie dumped heavy rains and triggered flash floods in Luzon before heading out late Saturday.
Metro Manila will be under cloudy skies Monday, Pagasa said. "By Tuesday, we expect gradual improvement in the weather," said Pagasa forecaster Bernie de Leon.
The protesters were advised to bring raincoats and umbrellas as downpours were expected in various parts of the metropolis Monday.
"We'll be marching, rain or shine. The issues of human rights, economic degradation, sovereignty and accountability need to be heard. The true state of the nation needs to be exposed. The workers, farmers, urban poor, women and youth will make sure of that," said Renato Reyes, secretary general of Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan).
The protesters will march from different points in Quezon City to Commonwealth Avenue. So far, the Quezon City government has not given the group permission to hold their protest in the city.
"As of Friday, we have received no word, no official communication whatsoever," Reyes said.
According to Bayan's counsels in the National Union of People's Lawyers, the failure of the city government to act on Bayan's application for a rally permit within the required period meant that the application was deemed approved.
In Pampanga, police and military rescue teams scoured the downstream sections of the Pampanga River in San Simon town yesterday to search for the body of Noel Tuazon, who drowned on Saturday afternoon.
Benjamin Santos, chief of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, said Tuazon, 15, and his classmates were traveling from Barangay (village) San Nicolas to San Pedro High School to practice for a dance number, but he dived into the water as their boat was nearing the riverbank.
Also on Sunday, the Pampanga River Basin Flood Forecasting and Warning Center alerted residents along the banks of the Pampanga River in Nueva Ecija, Bulacan and Pampanga for flash floods due to high tide.
High tide also caused water to rise in coastal villages of Hagonoy, Calumpit and Obando towns in Bulacan.
The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) in Central Luzon said Bustos Dam in Bulacan released a minimal volume of water, which did not cause flooding in nearby areas.
In Pangasinan, authorities on Sunday postponed search operations for four Bolinao fishermen who were reported missing on Friday because of bad weather.
The OCD in Ilocos had asked the Philippine Coast Guard to deploy helicopters but heavy rains made flights impossible, said Ronald Talagtag of the OCD regional operations center.
"No chopper would be coming from Metro Manila, which is experiencing heavy rains. We could not also use rescue boats because of strong waves," he said. With reports from Tonette Orejas, Inquirer Central Luzon; and Yolanda Sotelo, Inquirer Northern Luzon

Shareholders of Lindsay Corp (LNN) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 0.7% annualized dividend yield can sell the March 2014 covered call at the $80 strike and collect the premium based on the $3.40 bid, which annualizes to an additional 11.5% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 12.2% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $80 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but LNN shares would have to advance 6.1% from current levels for that to occur, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 10.6% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
Top YieldBoost Calls of the S&P 500 »
In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Lindsay Corp, looking at the dividend history chart for LNN below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 0.7% annualized dividend yield.
Below is a chart showing LNN's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $80 strike highlighted in red: The chart above, and the stock's historical volatility, can be a helpful guide in combination with fundamental analysis to judge whether selling the March 2014 covered call at the $80 strike gives good reward for the risk of having given away the upside beyond $80. ( Do most options expire worthless? This and six other common options myths debunked). We calculate the trailing twelve month volatility for Lindsay Corp (considering the last 251 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $75.35) to be 27%. For other call options contract ideas at the various different available expirations, visit the LNN Stock Options page of StockOptionsChannel.com. In mid-afternoon trading on Wednesday, the put volume among S&P 500 components was 534,426 contracts, with call volume at 997,723, for a put:call ratio of 0.54 so far for the day. Compared to the long-term median put:call ratio of .65, that represents very high call volume relative to puts; in other words, buyers are preferring calls in options trading so far today.

NEWPORT, Ore. -- One of two dogs thought lost in the wreck of a fishing boat last Sunday on the central Oregon coast has been found alive.
Captain Todd Holt and crewman Shane Lague lost hope for their dogs after their 48-foot fishing vessel crashed into the north jetty at Newport and sank.
Both men survived with minor injuries but they thought the two dogs had drowned.
But on Wednesday, another fisherman found a 6-month-old pit bull named Camo on the jetty and took him to the animal shelter in Newport.
Shane was ecstatic to hear Camo was found.He and his wife are on their way back to Newport to be reunited with their little survivor, said Laura Ireland, the animal shelter manager.
The other dog, a yellow lab named Bob, did not survive and was recovered from the boat by the Coast Guard.

From South Africa in the nineteenth century to Hong Kong today, nations around the world, including the United States, have turned to guestworker programs to manage migration. These temporary labor recruitment systems represented a state-brokered compromise between employers who wanted foreign workers and those who feared rising numbers of immigrants. Unlike immigrants, guestworkers couldn't settle, bring their families, or become citizens, and they had few rights. Indeed, instead of creating a manageable form of migration, guestworker programs created an especially vulnerable class of labor.
Based on a vast array of sources from U.S., Jamaican, and English archives, as well as interviews, No Man's Land tells the history of the American "H2" program, the world's second oldest guestworker program. Since World War II, the H2 program has brought hundreds of thousands of mostly Jamaican men to the United States to do some of the nation's dirtiest and most dangerous farmwork for some of its biggest and most powerful agricultural corporations, companies that had the power to import and deport workers from abroad. Jamaican guestworkers occupied a no man's land between nations, protected neither by their home government nor by the United States. The workers complained, went on strike, and sued their employers in class action lawsuits, but their protests had little impact because they could be repatriated and replaced in a matter of hours.
No Man's Land puts Jamaican guestworkers' experiences in the context of the global history of this fast-growing and perilous form of labor migration.

Energy-Water Nexus:
Information on the Quantity, Quality, and Management of Water Produced during Oil and Gas Production
GAO-12-156: Published: Jan 9, 2012. Publicly Released: Feb 8, 2012.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
A significant amount of water is produced daily as a byproduct from drilling of oil and gas. A 2009 Argonne National Laboratory study estimated that 56 million barrels of water are produced onshore every day, but this study may underestimate the current total volume because it is based on limited, and in some cases, incomplete data generated by the states. In general, the volume of produced water generated by a given well varies widely according to three key factors: the hydrocarbon being produced, the geographic location of the well, and the method of production used. For example, some gas wells typically generate large volumes of water early in production, whereas oil wells typically generate less. Generally, the quality of produced water from oil and gas production is poor, and it cannot be readily used for another purpose without prior treatment. The specific quality of water produced by a given well, however, can vary widely according to the same three factors that impact volumehydrocarbon, geography, and production method.
Oil and gas producers can choose from a number of practices to manage and treat produced water, but underground injection is the predominant practice because it requires little or no treatment and is often the least costly option. According to federal estimates, more than 90 percent of produced water is managed by injecting it into wells that are designated to receive produced water. A limited amount of produced water is disposed of or reused by producers in other ways, including discharging it to surface water, storing it in surface impoundments or ponds so that it can evaporate, irrigating crops, and reusing it for hydraulic fracturing. Managing produced water in these ways can require more advanced treatment methods, such as distillation. How produced water is ultimately managed and treated is primarily an economic decision, made within the bounds of federal and state regulations.
The management of produced water through underground injection is subject to the Safe Drinking Water Acts Underground Injection Control program, which is designed to prevent contamination of aquifers that supply public water systems by ensuring the safe operation of injection wells. Under this program, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the states require producers to obtain permits for their injection wells by, among other things, meeting technical standards for constructing, operating, and testing and monitoring the wells. EPA also regulates the management of produced water through surface discharges under the Clean Water Act. Other management practices, such as disposal of the water into surface impoundments, irrigation, and the reuse of the water for hydraulic fracturing, are regulated by state authorities.
Several federal agencies, including EPA; the Department of Interiors Bureau of Reclamation and U.S. Geological Survey; and a number of Department of Energy national laboratories, have undertaken research and development efforts related to produced water. These efforts have included sponsoring and issuing studies that describe the volume and quality of produced water, options for managing produced water and associated regulatory issues, as well as options for improving existing technologies for treating produced water and developing new technologies, such as more cost-effective filters.
Why GAO Did This Study
Water is a significant byproduct associated with oil and gas exploration and production. This water, known as produced water, may contain a variety of contaminants. If produced water is not appropriately managed or treated, these contaminants may present a human health and environmental risk.
GAO was asked to describe (1) what is known about the volume and quality of produced water from oil and gas production; (2) what practices are generally used to manage and treat produced water, and what factors are considered in the selection of each; (3) how produced water management is regulated at the federal level and in selected states; and (4) what federal research and development efforts have been undertaken during the last 10 years related to produced water. To address these objectives, GAO reviewed studies and other documents on produced water and interviewed federal and state regulatory officials, federal scientists, officials from oil and gas companies and water treatment companies, and other experts.

Originally written on The Victory Formation | Last updated 11/4/14
The dream of making an NFL roster is ending for hundreds of football players this week and next. Teams are making their cuts to eventually get down to the roster maximum of 53 players. Sure, some will catch on to the practice squad, and might fill a spot somewhere else if there are injuries, but most are going to be finding something else to do. One certainly cannot fault any of them for wanting to play football in the NFL just because that's what they love to do, but Toney Clemons, who is inching closer to return to the Jacksonville Jaguars has an entirely different and deeper reason to keep it going. Clemons, a 7th-round pick a year ago, is likely to make the team, and if you were to ask him what his motivation was, you might get a little teary-eyed. His three-year-old niece, Maiyanna, was diagnosed with a terrible form of cancer earlier this summer, Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, or DIPG. The doctors had no choice but to be aggressive with the treatment, as she had a large mass on her brain stem. She has undergone 31 radiation treatments. The disease, the treatment, and the bacterial infection she [...]

Joan Rivers, Unflinching And Iconic Comedian, Dies At 81
Thursday, September 04, 2014
Joan Rivers, the legendary no-holds-barred standup comedian, author, and TV icon, died Thursday at 81.
Known for her distinctive unflinchingly honest comedy style, Rivers was a constant presence on stage and on television. She launched her career in the Greenwich Village comedy scene performing at clubs including The Bitter End and The Gaslight Cafe, and became a major star on television on The Tonight Show, on which she regularly guest-hosted for Johnny Carson, whom she frequently acknowledged as her mentor.
Rivers later appeared in her own late night (The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers) and daytime talk shows (The Joan Rivers Show), for which she won an Emmy in 1989. Later in her career, Rivers found a new generation of fans with cutting red carpet fashion coverage of major awards shows. In the last decade of her career, she was also an influential host of reality TV programs, including Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best? and Fashion Police.
Rivers was also the author of 12 memoir and humor books, including 2014's Diary Of A Mad Diva. In 2010, she was the subject of the acclaimed documentary film, Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, and lately she had been working on a weekly web series, In Bed with Joan, in which she invited celebrities and fellow comedians into her bed for interviews.
Throughout her career, Rivers' standup material expressed a hard-edged point of view, with self-deprecating thoughts about sex and doomed relationships, the female image and her own plastic surgery, aging and death. Rivers frequently spoke about the double standards and sacrifices she made as a female performer in show business.
Joan Rivers appeared on the Leonard Lopate Show regularly. In 2014, she came to the studio twice: once in June to talk about her latest book — and once back in January, when she filled in for Lopate, talking about comedy with performers Deon Cole, Billy Eichner, and Reza Farahan. Here are several of Joan Rivers' many appearances on WNYC:

I had the delightful experience of meeting Joan at a WOR in-person broadcast at Sardi's hosted by Joan Hamburg. The two-hour show had several guests for 15-20 minute segments. Joan's turn came. She looked elegant, was charming with the host and audience. During breaks, she continued to speak, take questions, take photos, and simply indulge the audience, who was obviously smitten with her. When her time finished, she lingered, showed no attitude and genuinely thanked all of us for our support. Yes, she was acerbic, irreverent, and went over the line of good taste at times. However, she was kind, sweet, and thankful for her many fans. Mostly, she was funny.
I was raised in the Caribbean not to speak badly about the dead.Stan Chaz from Brooklyn and many others should heed to that advice for all the obvious reasons. RIP Ms. Joan Rivers. You made me laugh out loud and will be missed by me.
With all due respect to Joan and her fans:
She made me laugh yes, but...to my mind, Joan was someone who - after her initial success- turned into yet another arrogant /rich elitist ---while masquerading as an free-thinking iconoclast.
Below are some of Joan Rivers demeaning comments in New York magazine, ridiculing the Occupy Wall Street protests:
So how does she feel about Occupy Wall Street, in general? "I think Occupy Wall Street was terrific the first week, and it has now turned into a very happy druggy party. I suggest they all get jobs and go back to work," she responded. "What was an amazing and wonderful thing, I now find just ridiculous. Everyone's on drugs and everybody's singing, and they now have a DVD out, and now they want to do a reality show." Any fashion advice for the protesters? "Wash, rinse, and repeat."
My brilliant friend, the actor Anthony Holland (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0390603/), always told me the three kindest people in Hollywood were Gene Hackman, Liza Minnelli and Joan Rivers. I always found the latter the hardest to believe, what with her harsh persona, but when Rivers showed up at Tony's memorial at the Public Theater with her dog in her arms, I knew instantly how right he was. I became a fan from that moment on.
Correction: G-d Bless. (No disrespect.) Ale-ha Ha-shalom.
Oh, my. I've had issues with Joan. But NEVER with her indisputable comedic genius. I'm floored. God Bless! Rest in peace and power.

Crispy Biscuits For Drinks
|Plain flour
|4 Ounce (125 Gram)
|3 Ounce (90 Gram)
|Icing sugar
|2 Ounce (60 Gram)
|Ground almonds
|1 Ounce (30 Gram)
|Egg yolk
|Unsweetened spirit
|1 Tablespoon (Calvados, Marc, And Pernod Work Particularly Well)
Lightly grease several large baking-sheets.
If you have a food processor, place the flour and butter in the bowl and process until crumbs are formed.
Add the sugar and almonds and mix for a few seconds, then add the egg yolk and spirit and process for just long enough to form a dough.
Wrap in plastic film and chill for 20 minutes before using.
If you are mixing by hand, rub the butter into the flour, stir in the sugar and almonds, then mix in the yolk and spirit with a fork until you have a soft dough - it will be a little sticky at this stage.
Chill for 20 minutes before using.
After chilling, roll out on to a floured board, as thinly as you can without over-flouring and making the dough tough.
Cut into fingers, or crescents, or any other shape you fancy.
Transfer to the baking-sheets.
Bake at 190°C/375°F/Gas Mark 5 for 5 minutes.
Take care not to overcook the biscuits, or the flavour will be lost.
Check them after 4 minutes; you may need to remove some of the biscuits close to the edges of the sheets which are already tinged with brown and return the rest for the last minute.
Cool the biscuits on a wire rack and store them when quite cold in an airtight tin.

Nintendo 3DS
C'mon Nintendo, Where's the Metroid love ?
- Back To:
- Board List

I got the DK poster set, but I have to wonder why there isn't a set for Metroid on Club Nintendo ? Especially since Metroids anniversary is here. But it seems like Metroid swag is always in low numbers or non existent. Zelda gets a concert series and Mario gets a game collection. Metroid gets nada.......another oppurtunity to celebrate with the fans and create buzz and Nintendo just misses the mark. Metroid deserves some love. At least Metroid 2 on the VC. Something.....?

At least Metroid 2 on the VC.
Maybe it will happen this Thursday.
That's true. Hopefully they put it out this week. And at an attractive price.
Well they need to figure out what to do with this series after Other M. I dont think the game itself was TERRIBLE, but its definitely not on the level of many of the previous games, and what they did to her with that awful story was just an abomination.
I would guess they are just in the middle of trying to figure out what the future of this franchise is, unless they've already figured that out but havent announced it yet.
But yeah, in the meantime they could get the gameboy game out, fusion is one of the ambassador games, although I would have preferred zero mission.
A new 2D game would be very nice. I dont know about 3D. They really kind of ran that into the ground with the prime games. I think the direction they took with Other M was ok, it just didnt quite feel like a metroid game. I wish retro would make that kind of game, I think it would be better than what Team Ninja did.
One free month of PSN+, and all I have to do is hand over my personal info to hackers? That sounds like a sweet deal, where do I sign? -- 3DS 1504-5688-7256

Would be very nice, but I'm not holding my breath for that one. The first 2 games they chose are Excitebike and Xevious. They dont seem to have a big interest in converting big time AAA games, possibly due to how difficult the process is said to be.
One free month of PSN+, and all I have to do is hand over my personal info to hackers? That sounds like a sweet deal, where do I sign? -- 3DS 1504-5688-7256
other m completely derailed the franchise, so I think Nintendo might wait for a while until people forget about it before announcing the next metroid game
waiting for Golden Sun 3DS
My FF ratings (X/10): I: 5, II: 6, III: 4, IV: 8, V: 9, VI: 8, VII: 6, VIII: 2, IX: 8, X: 10, X-2: 7, XII: 9
Other M was kickass, and as a prequel to Fusion it felt appropriate for it to be linear. The story was fine, though the voice acting could get a bit cringe worthy at times. That said, I'd like to see a new 2D metroid for the 3DS (oh the irony) and a new Wii/WiiU Metroid that plays like Other M but free roaming.
I didn't hate Other M. But I did understand the criticisms. Especially of the story. And I have mixed feelings about zero suit Samus. I don't want her sexualized, but man she's pretty hot... LOL.... I just want a 2d/3d Metroid. Straight 2d plane, with 3d backgrounds and enemies.Done in the style of Super Metroid. That's it. Plain and simple.
People need to stop pointing the finger at Team Ninja and direct it at Other M's director. Aside from that, yeah the reception to Other M - completely deserved by the way - makes me think Nintendo aren't going to put out anything new 'Troid wise for a while. Lots of fans want a sequel to Fusion, but where exactly can the story go? For me, the best thing to happen to the series was the Prime Trilogy, but I don't want Retro Studios to be tied down to producing Metroid games. They've played their part.
Tachikomas are the best characters in any anime. Ever.
so i herd u liek taking over 9000 hobbits to isengard to find out why all the rum's gone
