Daniel Petry - RESIDENT ADVISOR -"this album has enough longevity in it to keep our ears sated for a good while yet." Oli Warwick JUNO PLUS -" 'Freewheel' lives up to its title with 11 cuts of cut-up house, fragile electronica pop, and blissed-out broken beat experimentation. Gorgeous album, highly recommended!" ZERo INCH editor -"C'est le genre d'album qui mérite qu'on parle encore de lui dans un, deux ou trois ans. " MIDI DEUX -"Le K signe un des plus singuliers albums d'électronica-techno de l'année, un objet qu'on adopte sans refus et qu'il sera difficile d'abandonner." CHRONIQUES ELECTRONIQUES -"'un album qui fait honneur au paysage discographique français" TRAX MAGAZINE -"Le K assène ce qui restera à coup sûr comme l'une des grosses claques électroniques de 2012. Une révélation." DES OREILLES DANS BABYLONE Le K delivers to Karat records the album we were dreaming about since quite a long time. This piece matches with what we can expect from an electronic album in 2012. Sound dimension, mix of musical influences, freedom of art expression. Le K maintains the higher standarts, you cannot really side this work in the classic description. It's something like if the 90's electronica could have been reinventing itself, or if the jazz had finally understood what is all about with electro. Everything is inspiration, finesse, aesthetic engagement. The will power of doing something beyond the clichés, without the uselessness of doing THE new thing. It's a question of elegance. We can describe the thing as the symbiosis in experimental jazz et radical electro/techno, serving the personality and the originality revealed all along this album. This work may reminds you some of the top producer in this kind of music, as Autechre, Herbert , we pretend that this album closes the past decades in music (90's & 00's), and let us look ahead, thanks to Le K to free himself from the barriers, stereotypes, to set his own style in a new electro paradigm. Learning to play the guitar seemed to be a good way to fight the atrocities of puberty and listening to the recordings of zany Zappa, arsonist Hendrix, and the LSD-inspired cadence of Pink Floyd and George Clinton helped a bit, too. Few music homeworks later, including several stays in Hip-hop, Afrobeat, Blues Rock, Fusion, electro Dub bands, tired of the ?band drama syndrom?, and strongly attracted by the new techno and underground house scene from France and Germany, he decided to immerse deeply into laptop territory and spent a couple of years learning electronic music production. His breakthrough was primarily due to the underground minimal house Paris scene (Circus Company and Karat) who cheerfully welcomed his productions and attitude in 2006 and contributed to spread the word to the whole scene. In Autumn of the same year, he was selected to attend the Red Bull Music Academy in Melbourne Australia, a platform for up-and-coming talents, invited over the course of a few weeks to perfect their studio technique and meet professionals. Also part of the talent pool that year were Flying Lotus, Douglas Greed, Daniel Brandt from Brandt brauer Frick, Nina Kravitz, Aloe Blacc, Clara Moto...this event definitely launched Le K in the worldwide electronic network. His upcoming first album on legendary underground French imprint Karat (Mr Oizo, Ark, Portable, Cabanne, Chloe, Krikor...) talentedly merges introspective and contemplative moments with joyful techno beats.

The SEIU, NEA and AFSCME are launching a new round of ads pressuring potentially wishy-washy Democratic senators and Republican House members to oppose cuts to Medicare and Medicaid in fiscal
cliff curb negotiations. The six-figure ad buy will target Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Rep. Denny Rehberg (R-MT) and Pat Tiberi (R-OH).
"Cutting hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare and Medicaid will short change the people who need it the most," the ads say. "So if you don't want seniors to come up empty, call [lawmaker] and tell [him/her] 'Don't make a bad deal that cuts our care.'"An earlier round of ads also ran in Colorado, targeting the Democratic senators there, and in "several dozen" Republican House districts.

DuPont and Evogene Enter Multiyear Collaboration for Soybean Rust Resistance
Collaboration Expands Existing Relationship to Address Important Soybean Traits
DES MOINES, Iowa, and REHOVOT, Israel (PRWEB) November 21, 2011
DuPont and Evogene Ltd. today announced a multiyear collaboration to improve resistance to soybean rust, one of the most devastating fungal diseases in soybean. Under the agreement, DuPont business Pioneer Hi-Bred and Evogene will collaborate to develop soybean varieties displaying in-plant resistance to rust. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Soybean is one of the world's most important crops, supplying protein for human and animal consumption and feedstock for oil production. Soybean rust is a severe fungal disease, which causes significant yield losses that can reach up to 80 percent of the affected field. It is estimated that the yield losses caused by soybean rust exceed $1.5 billion annually. Development of new rust-resistant soybean varieties would help growers protect harvestable yield against rust, ultimately improving productivity of agriculture.
DuPont and Evogene will jointly generate a genomic database tailored to soybean rust resistance. Evogene will utilize its computational genomic technology, the ATHLETE̢Ң, to identify novel genes predicted to improve soybean rust resistance. Pioneer will use proprietary technologies to evaluate the genes in transgenic soybeans, and may advance leads for further development and commercialization. Evogene will be entitled to receive milestone payments and royalties based on the sales of resulting products.
âœStrong disease resistance has been a cornerstone to the growth of our Pioneer soybean business,â said John Bedbrook, vice president, DuPont Agricultural Biotechnology. âœUnique science from Evogene is going to help us more effectively tackle soybean rust.â
"In addition to our well-established and leading position providing novel genes for improving crop yields under normal and abiotic stress conditions, such as drought and reduced fertilizer utilization, we are now increasing our efforts with respect to biotic stress conditions, where the crops are attacked by insects, fungi and other stresses,â said Ofer Haviv, Evogene's president and CEO. âœTherefore, we are very pleased to enter into this collaboration with Pioneer, one of the world's largest seed businesses and a leading provider of soybean seeds, to utilize our advanced trait discovery technologies to address the important biotic stress condition of soybean rust.â
Pioneer and Evogene have received an approval in principle for partial funding of the project from the BIRD Foundation, a bi-national foundation funded by the Israeli and American governments, which supports and encourages cooperation between Israeli and American companies in various areas of technology, and provides assistance in locating strategic partners from both countries for developing joint products.
Evogene is a world leading developer of improved plant traits, such as yield and drought tolerance, for a wide diversity of key crops through the use of plant genomics. The company focuses on utilizing its proprietary computational genomic technologies to provide a complete solution for plant trait improvement through combining state-of-the-art biotechnology and advanced breeding methods. These technologies include ATHLETEâ"¢ 3.0 for gene discovery; Gene2Productâ"¢ for improving trait efficacy and probability of successful development of biotechnology seed products; and EvoBreedâ"¢ for breeding enhancement. Evogene's plant genomics capabilities combine high throughput plant validation systems, field experiments and proprietary genomic data creation. Evogene is collaborating with world-leading seed companies to introduce its improved plant traits into key commercial crops under milestone and royalty bearing agreements. Evogene's headquarters are in Rehovot, Israel, and its stock is traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE: EVGN). For additional information, please visit Evogeneâs website at http://www.evogene.com.
Pioneer Hi-Bred (http://www.pioneer.com), a DuPont business headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, is the world's leading developer and supplier of advanced plant genetics, providing high-quality seeds to farmers in more than 90 countries. Pioneer provides agronomic support and services to help increase farmer productivity and profitability and strives to develop sustainable agricultural systems for people everywhere.

This is my first year filing by myself. I am not legally divorced or sperated from my ex but I know I can file as head of household b/c he has not lived with us for a year and not paid child support and the kids live with me fulltime (he has everyother wknd visits). I have alll my incomes and child care expenses for the year (looking at these numbers I wonder how the HELL I survived this year!!!) and I am ready to file...I think. I dont have student loan interest this year b/c I was unable to pay anything on them this year and they were in defermant/forbarance for all of 2011. What other tax things are there?? I dont have a house, we rented an apt. this summer and are now staying with my folks for the winter while I am laid off.
I'm wondering if there are any other tax credits or forms I will need this year and hoping I can file for free online. Can anyone recommned one tax website over another? Or think of any tax credits I could be missing as a single mom?
any help would be much appreciated, I really need to get as much of a refund this year as possible
I really like TaxAct.com - they have a free option but I usually do the one that's $15 for federal and state together. That one saves your data from the previous year and plugs it right into the new year's form.
This is the first year filing since the divorce and XH is griping that he owes a lot and is asking if he can claim both kids, even though the agreement was to each take one, to make his CS payments less. It's amazingly hard to not try and fix this for him since he'll pay me the hundred or so bucks that I'd owe without claiming one kid, but I'm not going to do it easily. My mantra is "not my problem, not my problem..." =P

You should be able to file for free online through the main IRS website - http://www.irs.gov/efile/. Make sure you claim the earned income tax credit, child credit, and child care reimbursement. It doesn't sound like you'll have any need to do anything but the standard deduction. Your refund should be really pretty this year -- wouldn't be surprised if you cleared $5,000.
Jen, journalist, policy wonk, and formerly a proud single mama to my sweet little man Cyrus, born at home Dec. 2007 . Now married to my Incredibly Nice Guy and new mama to baby Arthur.
thanks for the suggestions. I ended up using the standard free turbo tax and really liked the way they explained everything and asked questions to figure out how I should file. I was able to file as head of household since I paid for everything to do with the kids in 2011 and the ex didnt live with us at all! I got the EIC, child care and child credit and yes...I got a sweeeeeettttt refund!! I think I earned it this year and it's going to be a great way for us to get a fresh start this year!!!! wooohooo taxes :)
Woohoo! Here's to tax return time giving you a fresh start.

I have a love/hate relationship with Intuit (Turbotax) products. If you are used to doing the returns they can make it difficult to find what you're looking for and modify it.

Oh, what is SeaWorld up to now? The "Blackfish effect" has taken hold, and SeaWorld's nose diving stock seems to have left them with no choice but to respond.
In addition to the documentary "Blackfish" educating the public about SeaWorld, the theme park has had several other controversies. For example, there's the official open letter from SeaWorld, which was largely refuted. There was also the poll controversy where a swarm of pro-SeaWorld votes that were cast in the Orlando Business Journal's unscientific poll came from the SeaWorld.com IP address.
As reported in CNN, a SeaWorld spokesman explained:
Our team members have strong feelings about their park and company and we encourage them to make their opinions known. If a poll is posted regarding SeaWorld, our team members have as much a right as anyone else to vote and express their opinion. We're unsure why that's being questioned here.
The SeaWorld spokesman is right. There are still many who have strongly positive and negative feelings about the park. Free speech says that everyone has a right to express their point of view.
Yet, bullying and intimidation, like in a new video, are never the way, no matter what side you are on.
Corporate Activists?
The "Blackfish effect" has rippled to the offline world, too. Many have taken to the streets to raise captivity awareness.
Now SeaWorld could be antagonizing anti-captivity activists by bringing in their own "corporate activists" — though there's no official confirmation that these activists are on the corporation's payroll.
As Seattle Pi highlights, "corporate activists supporting SeaWorld showed up and held their own little rally across the street from where families were peacefully demonstrating against SeaWorld's policy of keeping large animals in small tanks."
Protest the Protestors
The "Blackfish effect" has created another new wave of seemingly grassroots activists: protestors of the protestors who stand by SeaWorld. As highlighted in one Facebook event, their objective is to protest the [anti-SeaWorld] protestors while spreading a "message of love, compassion, and inspiration."
The Culture of Corporate Espionage
The use of corporate activists is an offshoot of corporate espionage. While SeaWorld's corporate activism is alleged, corporate espionage isn't impossible to rule out.
As reported in Popular Resistance, a Center for Corporate Policy (CCP) report found that "possibly as much as one in four activists being private spies." Environmental activism is a major target.
Greenpeace is a major spying target. Apart from having their trash bins searched and having the phone numbers of Greenpeace activists collected, Greenpeace has also been infiltrated on the field. As reported in Popular Resistance, "an agent who 'posed as a left-wing sympathiser and film maker'" had a "mission" to '"betray plans of Greenpeace's activities against oil giants,' including gathering 'information about the movements of the motor vessel Greenpeace in the north Atlantic.'"
As reported in Common Dreams, the main takeaway from the CCP report is that, "This [corporate espionage] is entirely veiled in secrecy and is a threat to an active citizenry, democracy, and the right to privacy."
While there are many reasons for corporate espionage, the overriding commonality is a perceived "threat to the corporate bottom-line."
The Case of Marineland
There's a perception that animal theme parks can't operate the same way as oil giants; their services are different and they cater to families and children. Yet, as one sea park controversy shows, sea parks can be ugly and threatening to activists.
As seen on CNN iReport, John Holer, the owner of Marineland, was "caught on video uttering a death threat" to Mike Garret, an animal activist. Despite being caught on tape, the police never filed any charges against Holer. As reported in Toronto Star Newspapers, this is the same John Holer who is allegedly behind the shooting and deaths of two neighborhood dogs that wandered into Marineland.
Yet, Marineland did sue Garret, in a 1.5 million dollar lawsuit, "claiming defamation, public nuisance and interference in their business." Marineland protests have continued for "over three decades."
Obviously, corporations are concerned about the threat to their bottom-line. Yet, in the greater picture, we all have more to lose when active citizenry, democracy and the right to privacy are threatened. Getting in someone's face and death threats have no place in activism. That's the real bottom-line.

thanks for sharing :)
Corporate greed at its ugliest. Animals suffer for it every time.
These poor beasts, swimming in sinks, forced to perform, torn from their families. All in the name of entertainment?
Not good
Slavery is illegal in the U.S., yet these creatures are slaves. They live in small tanks and perform at specified times. They have no freedom whatsoever. That's slavery.
ty for this important article!
All I want for Christmas is the total shutdown of all animal based entertainment!
Hello everyone,
For more information on SeaWorld, take a look at http://www.orcanetwork.org/captivity/lolitacapture.html
The first link refers to the capture of an orca called Lolita who is currently held at Miami Seaquarium. I, and others, have been writing to MS for some years now, asking for her release. Of all captive orcas in America, she is probably the one who has the best chance of making a life for herself out in the wild as conservationists know where her family, including her mother, are. Orcas probably have the strongest familial ties in the whole animal kingdom, so this is crucially important. After nearly 4 decades of swimming around in her tank, she stills calls out to them in the unique language of her family's pod.
If this stirs you, then you can contact MS directly using the email addresses 'email@example.com' and 'firstname.lastname@example.com' to make your feelings known.
Sadly noted
These sea world is outdated unethical cruel ways to keep the large animals confined into small shallow ponds while imprisoning them and depriving their natural ways to live & breath. If these sea world scumbags are not violating the laws then why some of those evil subhumans goes so aggressive and wicked and acting like Barbarians from the hell. Freedom of information act is need to be implemented and this is a democratic country. What these sea world lunatics think? Is this Chinese communist power? Punish those brutal malevolent people who threatened to silent the peaceful protesters.

CALL's online courses are offered throughout the year and are designed so that you can participate at your own pace and at your own time.
Each course is 7 weeks, each week a separate lesson. Continuing Education Units are offered at the rate of 2 CEUs per course. Students from across The Episcopal Church and beyond join experienced online instructors in creating a classroom environment of respect and mutual learning.
Course fees:
$200 Standard Rate
$175 Association of Episcopal Deacons Rate
Summer 2015: June 15 - August 3, 2015
Registration is now open
The Diaconal Hermeneutic: The Eyes and Ears of the Deacon w Dr. Rod Dugliss
Essential Anglican Studies - Introduction to Anglican Worship w The Rev. Dr. Walter Knowles
Wednesday, April 22, 2015
2pm to 5pm
Classroom A
This class will provide a general introduction to the function of canonical law in the Episcopal Church, including the historical roots and scope of law in the church as well as the larger legal context of the church institution. The lectures will include a review of Title IV the Canons of the Episcopal Church dealing with the procedures for clergy discipline and is intended to satisfy the requirement of Canon III.8.5(h)(3) for individuals seeking ordination to the Priesthood.
Materials recommended: Constitution and Canons, 2012 edition available in print from Church Publishing or on line on The Episcopal Church website.
This course will be recorded and may be viewed at a later time, with certification contingent on the completion of a brief quiz. However, it is recommended that students take the course in person if possible.
The Rev. Roderick McAulay (M. Div. CDSP '99) is a retired priest in the Diocese of Northern California, having served as Rector at St. Stephen's, Sebastopol. He currently chairs the Diocesan Commission on Ministry and has served as the Presiding Judge of the Eccesiastical Court for his Diocese and as a member of the four-diocese Disciplinary Board in northern California. Prior to studying for the priesthood he practiced law for twenty-seven years and is a graduate of Stanford Law School.
CALL has developed two series, making it possible for students to focus their study in a programmatic way. Each series will enable students to receive an Online Continuing Education Certificate.
Students must enroll in the program by completing a very brief Enrollment Form and then completing the listed courses for that series in no particular order.
Formerly known simply as Anglican Studies, this program has been CALL's core curriculum of study in continuing education for years. Designed by the CDSP faculty to provide fundamental Anglican education in six areas of religious study, the Essential Anglican Studies Program gives students just that – the essentials of basic Anglican ethos and practice. Instructors in this program include CDSP faculty as well as experienced lay members and clergy in the Episcopal Church, most of whom have extensive online teaching experience. Check the Online Course Descriptions for CEUs page for more information on these courses. Not all courses are offered every year.
For those students who want to continue to do more in depth work in Anglican Studies, CALL offers the Online Continuing Education Certificate in Advanced Anglican Studies. This program has been offered for a number of years and upon reviewing it, CALL has altered the design to make this a more flexible program for the student. These courses are often taught by faculty of other schools and seminaries, giving the student a wider exposure to the Christian tradition. All courses that qualify for this program will be designated as such on the Online Course Descriptions for CEUs page of the website.
Students enrolled in this program will be required to complete six courses in four combined areas of study listed below. No more than two courses in any single area of study will qualify toward requirements for the certificate. These areas of study are:
What is required of you as a student in this program? Each course you complete will gain you 2 Continuing Education Units, which many dioceses require. Regardless of whether or not your diocese expects you to earn CEUs, as a student enrolled in one of the Online Continuing Education Certificate Programs, you will be held to the same requirements as students who must earn CEUs. This means you must: a) complete a final integrative assignment and b) participate in the weekly online discussions.
Time Commitment : CALL instructors design each course anticipating that you will devote a minimum of 3 hours/week between reading the materials and participating in the discussions. Often, instructors are able to work with you if you have vacation planned so please ask to talk with the instructor before deciding that you cannot participate.
In the event that CALL cannot provide required courses in a timely manner due to unforeseen course cancelations, CALL will work with the student to find a suitable substitute for the course.
If you would like to enroll in the Online Continuing Education Certificate Program, please email CALL. You will be asked to submit a very short Enrollment Form that will help us to understand your learning goals.

With an eye on Lok Sabha elections, the Union cabinet approved a hike in dearness allowance (DA) to 100% from existing 90%. The DA hike though, will not be merged with the basic pay.
The cabinet, perhaps in its last meeting before the Lok Sabha elections, also approved Rs1,000 per month as the minimum pension for the non-government staff under the EPFO scheme. Though, government insisted it was not a poll bonanza, the decisions will benefit 50 lakh central staff and 30 lakh central pensioners. The cabinet also approved terms and reference of the 7th Central Pay Commission. The Commission will make its recommendations within 18 months.
However, the Cabinet deferred decisions on other issues like raising the retirement age from 60 to 62 years and also merging part of the DA into the basic pay. The move could have benefited the employees in terms of the higher allowances like HRA and city compensatory allowance.
The cabinet also deferred to approve an ordinance on key anti-corruption legislations strongly backed by Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi. There was no word either form any minister or the Congress leaders on backing out on deferment of these legislations. A source, however, told dna that several ministers of the alliance (a reference to agriculture minister Sharad Pawar) objected that the cabinet note has not explained the urgency to bring out an ordinance. There were also murmurs in the government that president Pranab Mukjeree has also been uncomfortable to accept the ordinance route, which is normally used by the government on extremely urgent situations, when parliament session is too far. The Congress core group, an interface between the government and the ruling party, will discuss the issue and there is possibility of holding another cabinet meeting on Saturday to discuss the issue of anti-graft ordinances.
Meanwhile, Congress president Sonia Gandhi has organised a dinner for all Union ministers, party's office-bearers, prominent Congress MPs and top bureaucrats at her residence on Monday amid murmurs whether it would be a "farewell dinner". Party sources, however, insisted that it was just a party that she could not host during the extended winter session of parliament early this month as it was disrputed every day on the contentious issue of Telangana.
Slew of initiatives to woo voters: The UPA government has announced a slew of initiatives to woo the voters before the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. In the last Cabinet and Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) meeting on Friday, the government decided doles for welfare schemes at a cost of about Rs5,000 crore.
The CCEA approved continuation of the Integrated Child Protection Scheme in the Twelfth Plan, with enhanced financial norms. The total financial implication for the 12th Plan period would be Rs3,000.33 crore, which includes a Central share of Rs2,350 crore and a state share of Rs650.33 crore. The ICPS is a centrally sponsored programme for child protection, being implemented across the country from 2009-10.
The CCEA also approved setting up of 3,500 model schools in Educationally Backward Blocks (EBBs) in 27 states/UTs with certain modifications. This is under the scheme for setting up of 6,000 model schools at block level as a benchmark of excellence. For the year 2013-14, an amount of Rs1,000 crore has been allocated under the scheme. Each school will have 560 students. The total beneficiaries for 3,500 schools would therefore be 19.60 lakh students.
CCEA has also approved the proposal of the Department of Health Research in the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare for the central sector scheme of Human Resource Development for Health Research under the 12th Plan at an estimated cost of Rs.597 crore.
The scheme is intended to create a pool of talented health research personnel in the country by upgrading skills of faculty of medical colleges, mid- career scientists, medical students etc through specialized training in priority areas of health research in leading national and international institutions. A total of nineteen approvals were granted by the CCEA.

ANAHEIM -- The numbers that Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller is taking into Friday night's game against Pittsburgh -- 4-5-1 record, 2.99 goals-against average, .918 save percentage -- don't inspire superlatives thrown in his direction.
[caption id="attachment_48444" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Jonas Hiller makes a save on Tampa Bay's Vincent Lecavalier during the Ducks' 3-2 overtime win Wednesday."][/caption]
But those numbers are a far cry from what they were in the beginning of the season. While the wins have yet to come in bunches, Hiller has steadily improved in the other categories as he has allowed only two goals in each of his last five starts.
Dating back to his Oct. 17 start against Phoenix, Hiller is 3-2-0 with a 1.99 goals-against average and a .936 save percentage. The credit, he said, should be spread to a defense corps that has provided more stable play in its end.
"I think the whole team has gotten a lot closer," Hiller said. "We don't give up that many quality scoring chances any more. Not that many shots anymore. It's always good if you can get two goals or less against. That's always a good chance your team can win.
"That's what we need right now. I can't win it by myself but I can give the team a chance to win every night. I'm trying to. It's working out pretty well right now."
Trust in his defensemen is building as the play of rookie Cam Fowler and the additions of veterans Toni Lydman and Andreas Lilja have improved the Ducks' ability to get out of their own zone after a disastrous beginning in which they allowed an average of 48.3 shots per game in their first three contests.
"We had so many new faces," Hiller said. "And then we had some injuries and some changes. It always takes some time to get used to each other. It's not just about playing the puck. It's always about knowing where my rebounds go and knowing what they do, where they stand. And it just takes some time to kind of find each other.
"We're definitely going in the right direction. But I still think there can be improvement. At the end, it's the six guys on the ice that have to work as a unit. That's sometimes missing a little bit but I think it's definitely better than it was at the beginning of the year."
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said that he's encouraged Hiller to become more active in playing the puck and helping the defense start its transition up ice.
"I talked to him about his last game specifically," Carlyle said. "He seemed to be more involved in the game from a standpoint of getting out of his crease the odd time to track down a puck and set it up for our defensemen.
"Cross-corner dumps in new [rules] hockey are a big part of puck recovery and if you can get your goaltender active in the net to set the pucks up properly for your defensemen, then you have that transfer from defense to offense quicker. The one pass out is always what we coaches would love to have happen on every puck recovery in the defensive zone."
-- Saku Koivu isn't pleased that he's only put up two goals and two assists in his first 13 games. The Ducks' second-line center readily acknowledged that he has to provide more than he usual stout defense and penalty killing.
"I've just got to get more offensive," Koivu said. "I think there's things that we do well. Bottom line, you've got to get the wins and get goals and bring the offense. I have to do better."
Koivu had a similar slow start last season but ultimately finished with another 50-point season and a team-best plus-14 rating. He has a minus-4 rating.

The lane behind the historic Davenport House in downtown Savannah is greener with the removal of blacktop and addition of brickwork. The bricks, which look great, also let rainwater seep through rather than running off into sewers. Looks like it makes a nice outdoor gathering space, too.
Maybe this effort will inspire others downtown to re-do their lanes, too. Though I should note that many of the lanes south of the historic district are already green by virtue of having never been paved.

Discussion about the proposed Palmetto Pipeline, a Kinder Morgan project that would run through 210 miles of Georgia carrying gasoline, diesel and ethanol, has brought out diverse interests. The usual environmental groups have their activists involved, but so does Colonial Oil, which opposes the pipeline, too. That's a strategic alliance Savannah doesn't see too often. Landowners in a dozen counties have also been vocally opposed to the pipeline at meetings so far.

The Simpson family's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" house on Abercorn is going to have a kilowatt of solar panels on its roof plus a solar water heater. Solar panels were donated by Dublin-based Mage Solar, said Jack Star, a local solar advocate.
Star, who'd like to see every house in America built to be solar-ready, predicts the solar panels and heater will save the family about 20 percent on their monthly energy bill. The new house also is insulated throughout with spray-foam insulation, another energy saver.

Indiana legislators will try different approach to restructuring criminal sentences
INDIANAPOLIS - A push to overhaul the way Indiana punishes those who commit crimes large and small will once again dominate many state lawmakers' time this summer.
Since Gov. Mitch Daniels has named sentencing reform among his top priorities for his final year in office, it's likely to be a hot topic. And with county prosecutors still balking, it's likely to be a controversial one, too.
A year after the first stab at sentencing changes failed, two out-of-session legislative study panels are going to try again.
State Sen. Richard Bray, a Martinsville Republican, chairs the Criminal Code Evaluation Commission. His colleague, Republican Sen. Brent Steele of Bedford, is chairing the Criminal Law and Sentencing Policy Study Committee.
Combined, the two are tasked with once again taking an in-depth look at how Indiana sentences prisoners and proposing legislation that has a better chance of passing than the omnibus sentencing overhaul Daniels and others championed last year.
They'll do so, Bray said, by splitting the issues apart and putting them in separate bills to be introduced in the General Assembly's 10-week 2012 legislative session. That's a new approach, and one Bray said he hopes will give at least some pieces better chances of winning passage.
"Last time we put it all in one boat and it sank," he said.
The two panels include many of the same members, and Bray said he and Steele are dividing issues up to avoid overlap.
Right now, Bray said, his panel intends to tackle theft and drug sentences, while Steele's tackles sex-related sentences and could work on drugs, too.
Coming up next week is the easiest part: thefts. Proponents of sentencing law changes want "graduated" sentences that offer greater distinction between major and minor crimes.
"We should distinguish between shoplifting a pack of chewing gum and stealing a Mercedes," Bray said.
That will be the topic in Bray's panel on Wednesday. Steele's had planned to meet Thursday, but that hearing was pushed back by two weeks.
Trickier than thefts will be sex-related sentences.
"The sexual code is probably violated 50,000 times every weekend in the state of Indiana. We're trying to make sure that the people who get the most severe punishments are truly the pedophiles or people preying on others, and not just stupid teenagers," Bray said.
Perhaps the most controversial piece of the sentencing reform puzzle is related to drug crimes.
Daniels, Bray and others have argued that community-based options might better suit those convicted of what are considered low-level drug crimes than incarceration does.
"If you could just get the kingpins, the drug cartel leaders and all of that, I would think life without parole would be a minimum," Bray said.
On the other hand, he said, "maybe 10 years is excessive for a kid who hasn't been in trouble and has done something stupid, or perhaps someone who is an addict trying to sell pot for a little cash. I'm not necessarily agreeing with that person, but maybe they're not the people we should fill our prisons with."
Finding a way to convince a majority of legislators that these arguments have merit, Daniels has argued, is urgent. Indiana's Department of Correction runs prison that are at nearly full capacity, which means without changes to the law, the only options that exist are building new prisons or releasing inmates earlier.
Also important, though, is convincing county prosecutors – and the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys' Council, which lobbies for them – that such changes won't amount to a "soft on crime" approach that undermines local efforts.
Vanderburgh County Prosecutor Nicholas Hermann has resisted the proposed sentencing overhaul.Hermann said he is particularly concerned by the notion of dropping sentences for drug crimes – especially those involving methamphetamine.
"In Vanderburgh County, we led the state in meth lab seizures last year, and we're on pace to break our record from last year this year," he said.
"If you reduce the penalties, you're going to get more of it. That's what common sense would dictate."
Meth crimes, he said, can be destructive in ways that go well beyond what comes with most drug use.
"I've been in these homes and seen the kids' toys, the baby cradles. It's moved beyond a drug and a drug addiction to, you have someone basically making a bomb in a residential neighborhood," he said.
Another problem with the idea of sentencing reforms, he said, is that the changes envision greater roles for community-based programs.
But state lawmakers have capped Indiana's property taxes, and in the 2008 legislation that capped those taxes, lawmakers shifted costs for child welfare and juvenile detention programs to the state level. That left few options for raising additional revenue to beef those programs up.
"Basically, what they're doing is, they're writing essays about why the state should pay for something, and then they're at a whim about what the state will actually pay for and what it won't," Hermann said.
Bray acknowledged that problem, and said it is tough to find extra money to shift to the county level. "This is a bad time to talk about increasing the budget," he said.
What would help the most, Hermann said, is including in sentencing-related legislation guarantees that those convicted of the highest-level crimes would serve greater percentages of their sentences.
Right now, Indiana offers one day worth of credit for each day served, effectively halving most prison sentences. The state also offers inmates ways to chip into their sentences, such as education while they are in prison.
"If there's an effort to punish those people that are the worst of the worst, I think you're going to see the prosecutors give more on other parts of the spectrum," he said. "That goes a long way."
Last year, an amendment would have required those convicted of crimes such as murder to serve 85 percent of their sentences.
That notion, though, is anathema to those like Bray, who say locking inmates up for longer undermines the goal of reducing prison crowding and therefore avoiding the costs of building new space.
"That is something they're asking for," he said, "that is beyond unreasonable, in my estimation."

Fish food that the fish will eat
posted 6 years ago
It is a good quality fish food, although I like some of the foods from Japan that are better for color and growth. These however are not readily available.
Pros: Fish like it and it doesn't seem to cloud the water
Cons: Hard to find except in special Pet stores

I was one of the "No year round"
- But now I actually go to a university that has it.. and I absolutely love it.. it makes things go by soo much faster then high school.. only going for 2.5 months then going home for 2 weeks for spring and fall break and 3.5-4 weeks for summer and winter break.. the breaks are perfect.. just what I need when i feel like I am getting 'burnt out' on school.
- —Guest Me
no way
- I am a student in high school I'm going to college and I want a bright future and having school all year long would destroy that attitude. Kids in my school can just scrape by the year with summer without it many child care services would suffer, my parents would have to pay more taxes to keep the schools going, and i would go insane! Sure kids lose some of what they learned through the year in summer but i doubt they would even go to school with no summer. Kids need a long break and if you're unsure of this ask your kid.
- —Guest anthony
Are you people crazy,or just dumb?
- I have read every response in here. It amazes me how people talk about the pressures of school, and that is why there is a need for traditional summer breaks. Wouldn't the pressures be reduced if there were more breaks? Also, by the looks of the spelling on this thread, we REALLY NEED YRE! I know some of you are really young, but some of you are in HS and can barely spell! YRE is a great idea. The summer break in the YRE system is still really long, and it still gives kids a chance to be kids. I fully agree that kids need to be kids, but adults need to be adults, and give our kids the best, most well rounded education possible. The YRE system can also be very economically efficient. It can also give teachers an opportunity to make more money. I have heard some comments asking adults to remember when they were kids/teens. I do. I remember hating the month of August and the beginning of Sept.! It seemed like school couldn't start soon enough. And, I hated school!
- —Guest The Future
No Way!
- what kid likes to be in school? Uh no one. Kids should be able to have a long summer break to spend time with their friends and family. Summer is a time for them to get away from all the stress of school. Adults don't understand what kids in school actually go through. So year-round school is a huge NO!!!
- —Guest guest 246
No school would help but make things bad
- Things wouldn't help if school was longer. It would make it worse. The length of the regular school year is long enough AND stressful enough for students. If you were to increase school days/hours or get rid of summer then u would see an increase in student dropouts due to stress induced depression.
- —Guest disagree
no school year round
- I don't thing that there should be year round schooling because mostly in the summer student get time to hang out with there family and they would always be outside and doing something. Also kid use there summer to have some full time jobs so they can earn some money, and school would just make that harder. Like most kids they need to earn up there money if there parent make them buy there own stuff. Most kids get more exercise in the summer because they outside all most all the time either running, swimming, biking, and other things people would do outside. So even if they're not at school learning they're still keeping there selves physical. Also most people like me gain more weight during school because all you do is basically sit for about 7 hour and eat your lunch or snack. nothing physical there except for you 80 minutes of gym of p.e.
- —Guest some person
This is what WE THINK!!!!
- In response to the topic at hand, I do believe that year long schooling could be beneficial to students everywhere. Davidra, while doing her make-up, contested that "year long schooling is a joke!" Elijah says that in defense to the school board who decided to push this idea to become law. "Hey, they're just trying to look out for the kids."..this is Conway High Schools ideas on "Year Long Schooling" thank you for Reading...We out this thang!!!2011
- —Guest TJ McFarlin, Davidra Bowser, Elijah Whit
- I think, as an eighth grader myself that it would be the wrong decision mainly for the eradication of summer break and the possibility of getting a summer job. Also I do not think my school could afford it. Falcon Ridge Middle School, Apple Valley, MN
- —Guest Guest 2294
- My school district is having serious issues with laying off teachers, cutting middle school sports, and eliminating assistant teachers, while continuing to purchase new technologies. I think taht year round schooling would eliminate the 45 student per classroom situation, it would keep the school in use so that it is not a waste of space for three and a half months during summer vacation. I also think that it would be a great idea because it gives us a break. Personally, I always work harder right before a break. If I knew that every six weeks I had a three week break coming (this is how some year round schools function), I would always put my best foot forward. It is an overall great solution to a lot of the problems going on in my school district, and something that I have been looking forward to for years! I just hope that someone sees the benefits and puts it into action! Would fix so many problems!
- —Guest Kellbell
Why not?
- Of course there is resistance whenever a change from the status quo is suggested. Some of these posts are pretty charged. The point of education is not "to put kids in school" to punish them or something, it is to establish healthy and productive habits of being and thinking. If we believe in the mission of education, then one has to consider what might be gained by going to a more balanced schedule. I don't see how declaring June, July and August a "school free zone" encourages children to view education as an ongoing process of improvement. I might say a similar thing about their teachers...
- —Guest High School Math Teacher
What is going on here?
- My original response was going to be against having school for the whole year. The argument is always made that Japan and other countries have year long, and this must be what makes them so intelligent however this is not really the issue at all. The issue is that in Japan you are not guaranteed a college education. You have an entrance test you have to take to be admitted into college. Japanese students spend their whole lives studying for these tests to be admitted into college and that does not even guarantee them the finances to attend college or any scholarships. Japanese students are also taught harder subjects at younger educations. Remember doing word searches and mazes when you were in kindergarden? Japanese students are learning the fundaments of their language, basic principles of numbers, and culture. Full year round school makes it impossible for people like myself to attain summer jobs. I work 8-12 hour days so that I can mke it through the year I need those 10 weeks
- —Guest A High School Student
- Many people are saying that it is a bad thing, well I disagree. Year round school would be a fun thing. You would have the same amount of school days, just different vacations. No, you wouldn't have summer vacation as long, but its still a month long! So no, its not bad at all. I go to a public school which has the primary setting of 10 months, and I cant STAND it! We need year round, it would be really cool
- —Guest Hayley
Yeah boyy!!
- Yes! Just look at the pros and cons!! The is the same amount of school and it would be just all around better for the school tracher and studrnts!!!
- —Guest Savannah
- i think that year around would only benfit some not all students. Year round school gots it pros and cons. it seems dumb to me which is why i say its only for some. The 45-15 thing seems like trouble. Some students will be home alone because their parents are at work or busy.That could cause trouble because they could get bored and only some kids will stay with the sports. My cuz is in year around and has got into so many drugs during that 15 day break. Many it make some kids smart are to only have a 15 day break , but i think that its just the same has having a summer. Your forget the same amount of stuff as you would if you had a summer if you had the 15 day break. like i said before year round school is only for some people.
- —Guest guest kk
- First, year-round schooling does not mean going to school, "year-round". You are still going to school 180 days. Also, studies show that year-round schooling does not improve grades AND it costs more. Although the break plans of 1 week off every 2 months or so are appealing, it turns out that studies show that the frequent breaks disrupt the learning process. for going against year-round schooling, go to summermatters.com. For pro-year-round schooling, go to nayre.org.

Is it possible to connect an iPhone to another iPhone or any other network client talking that game's protocol.
I was thinking that I could use the same NAT Traversal technique used in the XBox 360 to host games on users XBox's through Firewalls.
For NAT traversal to work effectively I'd have to have a central server that would allow clients to "broadcast" that they were hosting so that another client could initiate the NAT connection. In the link provided this is called relaying.
Is there any inherent limitation of the US AT&T 3G network that will block the NAT traversal techniques (would you be limited to wifi firewall NAT traversal)?
NAT Traversal Projects: - PJSIP - providing NAT traversal functionalities by using standard based protocols such as STUN, TURN, and ICE. - Freecast using Apache MINA Java network library for NAT Traversal

Anti-gay rant by Michelle Shocked triggers Illinois cancellation
CHICAGO — A scheduled May 5 performance by singer Michelle Shocked at a club in Evanston, Ill., has been canceled following reports of her anti-gay rant from a San Francisco stage Sunday night.
"After speaking with the promoter of that show about the nature of the remarks, it's clear that this is no longer a show we're willing to put our name on," the club, SPACE, announced on its website and Facebook page Monday, offering refunds to ticket-holders.
Reports from Sunday's show at San Francisco's Yoshi's say Shocked, a born-again Christian, railed against gay marriage and told the crowd, "You can go on Twitter and say, 'Michelle Shocked says God hates (anti-gay slur).'" The Twittersphere reacted accordingly.
SPACE general manager/ talent buyer Jake Samuels, who had booked Shocked previously without incident, said he confirmed with the San Francisco promoter that Shocked's comments were "ugly in nature and not meant to be artistic or satirical in any way ... It wasn't a very hard decision for us."

EA to stop selling EA Sports Season Ticket from March 2015
Posted on August 20, 2014 AT 08:31am
EA has announced that it will stop selling the EA Sports Season Ticket from March 2015, and will also be reducing the price.
People with an active ticket will be able to continue accessing is perks until March 2016, and the price has also been reduced from $24.99 to $19.99. For those that are unaware, the Season Ticket offers early access to several EA Sports titles, such as FIFA, Madden, and NHL, as well as bonus Ultimate Team Packs, and 20 percent off DLC.
"We're constantly looking at the benefits we provide to our players and ensuring that they are valuable and beneficial to as many players as possible," said EA. "As more and more of our fans move to the new generation of consoles, we felt the time was right to start the process of concluding Season Ticket for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The Season Ticket benefits are still available for FIFA 15, NHL 15 and Madden NFL 15, at a new lower price of $19.99."
EA recently launched EA Access on Xbox One that offers a similar service to the Season Ticket, but covers a more wide range of titles. An EA Access subscription also offers 10 percent off DLC and the ability to access select titles up to five days before launch.

The wooden crucifix that had overlooked the Scared Heart Cemetery in Dupont for decades has fallen, a victim of the wicked winds of Hurricane Sandy last week.
The concrete statue of Jesus, attached to a wooden cross, was not damaged, but structure will need to wait until spring to be repaired.
The cross is attached to a large concrete statue of the Blessed Mother, Mary Magdeline and St. John the Apostle. That structure is on a stone base. The entire work overlooks the grave of a longtime former church pastor, the Rev. Chester H. Kolakowski, who was pastor from 1938 to his death in 1971.
The statue is more than 75 years old, said the Rev. Joseph Verespy, Sacred Heart pastor.
The cross didn't fall off completely, Verespy said. It bent at a 45 degree angle. But it had to be removed for safety concerns.
Tim Stonikinis, of Dupont, a general contractor and parishioner, will coordinate the repair.
The 8-foot cross will spend the winter in storage in the church's garage. It is made with 4-by-6 pieces of dark stained hemlock. The base is six feet high.
All the statues are made of concrete with an auto paint finish. The cross is supported with cast iron plates.
We'll have to disassemble the base somehow, pull it apart and remount the cross, Stonikinis said.
He said when the original work was built, the timber went several fee into the base. But after it was renovated several years ago, the cross was bolted to stainless steel plates and went into the statue 8 inches.
But the wood continued to decay, he said. All it took was a big breeze.

Jagjaguwar is Taking Over Le Guess Who? Festival in HollandPosted: September 27th, 2011 by Theodora
Steve McBean's Pink Mountaintops will be traveling across Europe this November as a duo – he'll be joined by American musician Gregg Foreman (Cat Power, Delta 72).
If you didn't catch this earlier it's worth mentioning again – Pink Mountaintops perform as "Metal Problem" in the new movie Everything Louder Than Everything Else and play a new song that totally rules called "Through All the Worry."

Steve McBean and his band, Pink Mountaintops, were cast and appear as the band Metal Problem in the new film by Vancouver director Rob Leickner, Everything Louder Than Everything Else. The movie follows a woman who owns a recording studio, and Metal Theory records the song "Through All The Worry," a new song by Pink Mountaintops. Steve McBean also performs in the movie (with lines and everything!). I totally buy that he's in a rock band.
Everything Louder Than Everything Else is screening at the Plaza Theatre in Calgary on 6/20 at 9pm.
Pink Mountaintops will perform at Fuck Yeah Fest on September 3rd!
Pink Mountaintops recently remixed Lia Ices' "Love Is Won" from Grown Unknown. Our friends at RCDRD LBL put it best:
What starts as just voice and piano slowly builds to a crescendo with layers of electronic noise, a subtle electric guitar playing country licks, and heartbeat-like drumming. It maintains the restrained, dramatic performances of Grown Unknown while still adding a bit of bombast.
Listen to it over at the Jagjaguwar Facebook page.
