It would be hilarious to see which baskets the Democrats put all of their eggs into when it comes to their rhetoric on debt reduction if it wasn't so sad. For the last few months it was all about raising taxes on the rich, and now they see oil in that thar capital hill.
As the New York Times puts it the, Senate Refuses to End Tax Breaks for Big Oil. They REFUSED, the measure wasn't voted down, it was REFUSED, like it was dignity, offered up on a silver platter, to Charlie Sheen buried under a porn star dog pile.
The Senate on Tuesday blocked a Democratic proposal to strip the five leading oil companies of tax breaks that backers of the measure said were unfairly padding industry profits while consumers were struggling with high gas prices.
How unfair are they Democrats? On a scale of 1 to hypocrisy, how is profit taking unfair?
I'm not interested in being a shill for the oil industry, but this mentality of being entitled to the assets of a private business is something that bugs me for two reasons....
The only thing worse than that is they can't even get their story straight about what they're trying to do. The article starts with calling them tax breaks and ends with the White House calling them subsidies. So which one is it?!? Tax break or subsidy?
The difference is like saying that Obama scored a 37 during an adventure to the bowling alley, and then shows a scorecard of 73 while bragging that he had his staffers actually remove the bumpers (or tax breaks) beforehand.
Under the proposal, Democrats would have eliminated five different tax breaks (remember Obama called them subsidies) enjoyed by the multinational oil companies, producing an estimated $21 billion over 10 years.
I know every dollar counts now when you have a deficit that's so high it causes lunar eclipses, but is it just me who is noticing that while the GOP is interested in focusing on the root causes of our spending problem, out-of-control entitlements, liberals are more interested in attacking, with taxes, things they don't like?
Why must they always despise the very aspects of our economy that actually drive it's success while focusing on preserving the parts that drain it?
That would be a lot harder to argue against if rich people and oil companies really could close the deficit, in the name of fairness to the Americans who pay little to literally nothing in comparison, of course....but Democrats think $2.1 billion annually in ASSUMED increased revenue must pass, or deficit reduction is put in jeopardy? Really?
How many times do liberals have to fail at the logic of economics before we take the poop they drop on the nation and rub their nose in it while yelling "NO!" "BAD DONKEY." AKA Jill Biden's nightly ritual with her husband.

- Nothing Else Compares Review by Jessica

With the correct brush, this can be applied to the base of the lash line, and even blended if you choose. This makes for a very natural look and photographs beautifully. I recommend this for all bridal portraits (as a makeup artist and esthetician). By applying only at the base of the lashes and not on the inner rim or elsewhere, you can open up the eye like no other technique. Also easy to use like a regular eye pencil and easy to smudge.

I received a free sample of the sapphire liner with my order. The color was rich and lovely. I used this with a stiff angled brush then smudged with a Q tip. The result was natural and made eyes look wonderful. Best of all it did not make my eyes itch and it remained perfectly in place for 14 hours with zero smudges. It is water resistant too.

One of the young girls—Sargent's nieces and the daughters of friends—who were often part of his traveling party posed for this watercolor, wearing one of the costumes he had purchased in the Middle East earlier in the year. The work's title references a woman featured in biblical and Arabic literature who was often portrayed as enamored of her beautiful slave, Joseph. Sargent used lush colors and loose brushwork to describe her Turkish-style pantaloons and silk overdress, and the cashmere shawl on which she lies, to evoke a mood of sensual ease and sumptuous pleasure.

text: When people read the title I know you automatically assumed I was asking who is better. But actually I wanted to write about the "heel" turn that happened on Raw's 1000th episode. First off I think a lot of people seen this coming. Second off I will never boo Punk for anything. He's not a believable heel. I love the guy which is why I'm saying this. It's not really going to effect much.

I know at the last web developers meeting that was much discussion on the limit of showing 5 sub navigations sections before the "More..." was invoked, but I would like to show an example where this needs to be reconsidered. Sometimes there are needs to allow more sub navigation levels without the "More..." being invoked.
If you go to the website http://snr.unl.edu/cbas (I know its the old templates) and hover over Research Specialities You will see that we have 10 specialities. If we use the NEW template 5 of these where be hidden from view until the user presses "More..." My faculty do not think this is acceptable.
With the current design you are asking the planners/designers to choose which are the 5 most important specialities leaving the other 5 partially invisible. This can also be said for departments that list their degrees as a sub navigation; which degrees do they determine as "Second class"?
In most cases we have been able to come to an understanding that alphabetical is acceptable for organization. But limited to 5 sub navigation levels makes this organization biased.
I propose that there be a switch on the template that will allow for the "More..." to be turned off completely in certain cases. Make it standard that it has to turned off, so it is extra work, but at least make it an option.
There are just some cases where five is not enough.

I've always wanted a 7-second street car, but I'm not saying I have one until it goes down the track." So said the owner of this '69 Nova, Denny Durbin, whose name has been on the pink slip of this particular car for 30 years.
It's the first car he ever owned, and Denny bought it when he was just 15. Suffice to say, he's been modifying it ever since. It's the car he took to his high school proms, and it's seen a number of different transformations. He's made a lot of memories in the car, both in the front seat and the back.
But we're getting ahead of ourselves. At the Super Chevy Show in Virginia, Tech Editor Dan Ryder and Associate Editor Mike Ficacci were on specific assignment from the powers that be to find the hot rod for the cover of this issue. They were instructed to find a show-worthy supercharged big-block '68-72 Nova that not only turns heads, but makes them spin around. And if it could scream down the quarter-mile in 8 seconds or less, so much the better. (The boss knows exactly what he wants.)
Well, that shouldn't be too difficult ... yeah, right! Next assignment-go find D. B. Cooper. These men went to the show with their orders (and their fingers crossed) and drove not 60 feet into Virginia Motorsports Park before eyeballing this dream machine. Long story short, after frantically phoning in their discovery, they set up a shoot two days later, and with a little Super Chevy magic, on the cover sits this eye-catching, supercharged monster with at least 1,500 horsepower.
Since purchasing it in 1977, Denny has filled her with aftermarket goodies, taken it all apart, and started over again. When he got it, it was every high school hot rodder's dream, circa 1977: "It was all original, but it was a 350 car, and it had a 396 and an automatic," Denny recalled. "It had Cragars on it and air shocks and was jacked up in the back. It was the hottest car in school."
But that was many turns of a wrench ago. The current build, which he did in his two-car attached garage (including paint!), took five solid years. We asked Denny about his goal for this build and loved his answer: "I want this street car to run 7s. If it doesn't, I'll make more power," he said.
While we craved a supercharged Nova for the cover, we never expected to find one with a PSI screw-type blower off an Alcohol Funny Car. There were a number of issues associated with setting up the unit for gasoline, including clearancing the rotors and opening up the bottom of the case for more airflow. And since no one had ever set up that injection system for street use, the whole thing had to be fabricated. According to the owner, there are close to 50 pieces that were custom-made by Tom Reed of Reed's Welding. Denny had to experiment there as well. He runs 45-psi FAST injectors into the lower manifold and 95s up top. Running everything is a FAST computer tuned by Bill Anderson.
Sitting under the monster huffer is a Roche Racing Engines 540ci big-block. Brian Roche used Dart Big M 410cc aluminum cylinder heads, 7.5:1 Arias pistons, a Comp Cams roller camshaft measuring 0.750/.750-inch lift and 280 degrees duration, a Sonny Bryant custom crankshaft, and a BDS Competition intake manifold.

Part 2
In last month's installment, Texas Speed and Performance (TSP) used a brand-new GM L92/LS3 block as the foundation to build a high-performance 418ci stroker engine. Sunset Racecraft in Lubbock, Texas, bored the block to 4.080 inches (4.065 is stock) and stuffed it full of such heavy-duty components as a custom Eagle 4.00-inch stroker crankshaft, Eagle connecting rods, and Diamond Racing pistons. TSP then completed the engine build with its own Texas Speed/Precision Race Components (PRC)-prepped cylinder heads and accessories.
According to TSP co-owner Trevor Doelling, "The key to the power potential of this 418 lies in the blueprinted short-block and the extensive testing and development work that are done before it reaches the market. For enthusiasts with an LS engine with a bore of 4.00 or greater, the factory L92/LS3 head is an excellent choice, flowing almost 320 cfm in stock form. By developing a five-axis CNC porting program, we achieved a higher-flowing head-356 cfm at 0.650 lift-that improves upon the factory velocity and provides a much more balanced intake-to-exhaust flow ratio of 66.4 percent (vs. the stock 59.8 percent)."
Dyno Results
With our 418 fully assembled and ready to rock, Sunset's techs strapped it down on the shop's Dynamic Test Systems, Inc. (DTS) model 4000G engine dyno for a series of pulls. The engine was tested in three different configurations: with stock heads and a mild Comp hydraulic roller cam, with the TSP/PRC heads and the same cam, and, finally, with the TSP/PRC heads and a more aggressive Comp grind.
Baseline numbers checked in at an outstanding 608 hp at 6,300 rpm and 561 lb-ft of torque at 5,200 rpm. Torque exceeded 500 lb-ft from 4,100 to 6,300 rpm, while average power and torque (measured from 4,000 to the 6,500-rpm redline) checked in at 531.5 and 532, respectively. It's clear that even in its least radical form, the TSP 418 is a serious performer across the rev range.
The addition of the ported PRC L92/LS3 heads paid real dividends, pushing the peak figures to 630 horses at 6,400 rpm and 570 lb-ft at 5,200 rpm. Power and torque improved across the rpm spectrum, with average gains of 12 and 11.5, respectively. The real story lies in the torque boost between 5,300 and 6,500, which ranged from 10 to 20 lb-ft.
The final test involved swapping out the baseline Comp cam for a hotter stick and installing one of TSP's own 100mm MAFs. The end result was a towering 641.2 hp at 6,400 rpm and 578.5 lb-ft of torque at 5,200. Average hp and torque rose by 6.6 and 6.3, respectively, while the peak numbers jumped by 10.9 and 8.0. Although the peak and average gains were modest, the larger cam and higher-flowing MAF added both power and torque from 4,900 rpm all the way to the redline without sacrificing on the low end.
According to Doelling, "The redesign of the Gen IV block from the LS2 into the larger-bore L92/LS3 allowed builders to offer stroker engine packages of up to 427 cubic inches without resorting to expensive cylinder liners and machine work. It's now possible to sell a top-quality 418 or 427 short-block or long-block at a budget price. Since enthusiasts have their choice of cams, we can work with them to build L92/LS3 packages that offer anywhere from 500 to 675 hp, depending on their intended use.
"For owners looking to make even more power, both engines are rated to take up to a 200hp shot of nitrous. Custom pistons are available to take the compression from 11.1:1 down to 8.5:1, allowing a forced-induction 418 to achieve over 1,000 hp. In fact, other than the camshaft and dished pistons, our twin-turbo street car-which makes 1,063 horses at the rear wheels-uses all the same components as this build. That shows just how robust and powerful the package is."

Courtney Bernecker scored her 32nd career goal this afternoon against Trinity University to become the new all-time leader in career goals at Wilson College. Bernecker and the crew defeated Trinity by a final score of 6-0.
The Phoenix came out aggressive against the Tigers and took an early lead in the first half. Freshman Nana Ama Ohene-Manu netted two goals to give Wilson a 2-0 advantage at the close of the half. In the 63rd minute of the game, Bernecker made history and scored a goal, breaking the career goals record previously held by Mary Miller'08. Bernecker scored another goal in the half as well as she became Wilson soccer's all-time leading scorer. Nana Ohene-Manu contributed with another goal and senior Brittney Poff chipped in with one goal in the contest.
With the win, the Phoenix improve to 4-9 on the season. The team will begin a weekend home stand on Saturday when they host SUNY IT at 1pm. Courtney Bernecker will be recognized before the game on her most recent accomplishment. The Phoenix will honor their seniors on Sunday, October 20th against SUNY Cobleskill.

ActiveRecord provides an object-oriented interface to an application's database to make development easier and friendlier for the developer. It provides validation functionality as well which helps keep data in the database clean. ActiveRecord also pertains to the model part of the MVC
He then told me that was "kind of mickey moused."

Record Number of International Students Welcomed to St. Edward's University
This fall, St. Edward's University will mark an institutional record of 101 new international students on campus — new freshmen, undergraduate, graduate, exchange, transfer and returning — which is a 55% increase compared to last year.
Jezreel Asare, a sophomore studying political science, is among the university's growing number of international students. Originally from Hamburg, Germany, Jezreel attended Notre Dame High School in West Haven, Conn., a Congregation of Holy Cross high school, where he learned about St. Edward's. He enrolled at St. Edward's as a freshman and plans to graduate in four years.
"Coming to St. Edward's as an international student did not make me feel out of place at all," Jezreel said. "I'm able to do all the things American students do — participate in sports, work on campus and be involved in everyday on-campus events."
Jezreel is involved in the campus community. He's a resident assistant for the St. Edward's Apartments and a teaching assistant for a German class.
"I'm fluent in four languages; or more like three-and-a-half," Jezreel said. In addition to English and German, Jezreel also speaks Twi and French — the two most commonly spoken languages in Ghana, his parents' home country.
"As an international student, people are always eager to get to know me and spend time with me whenever they can," Jezreel said. "Not only do I help create a diverse campus, but I also contribute a new understanding of other cultures, customs and traditions."
St. Edward's gives Jezreel the opportunity to explore a whole new culture within the United States. "As international students, we tend to think that all we do is increase the international ratio, or stay in order to just study, but we really give American students a broader global perspective," he said.
"International students should seek to find a school that has a deep understanding and appreciation for the global community," Asare said. "St. Edward's provides you with that understanding."
Jezreel, along with fellow international students Santiago Quintero, Luiz Trillo and Marcela Beas at St. Edward's, are featured in a video produced by IDP International, a company that assists students in finding the right overseas study options.
In the video, Jezreel, Santiago, Luiz and Marcela share their views on how St. Edward's helps students find their place in today's interconnected world. Watch the video and hear their stories.

As nasty as it sounds, I've already selected. It rhymes with perms.

Bankers banned from using BlackBerrys on holiday
Banks are increasing their crackdown on staff using work mobiles and email on holiday. It's partly to prevent banker burnout and partly because compliance departments think illicit activity is more likely to come to light if the staff member isn't around to cover it up.

That is a bit of a slanted argument though, as by default, the keyboard and mouse is going to provide much more accuracy. This goes without saying.
My brother in law has an X Box and he says that at least in first person shooters, it is way more accurate on a PC.

Do you use headphones when you game on PC?
That is a bit of a slanted argument though, as by default, the keyboard and mouse is going to provide much more accuracy. This goes without saying.
I for one am very much looking forward to this next generation of consoles. I game on everything. PC, PS3, XBox 360, WiiU, PS Vita, iPad, etc. etc. So I welcome any new hardware into the mix.
Truth be told, PC is the best overall platform, but PC is not what I use the most. Not even close. In fact I am currently playing Crysis 3 on my PC, and it is the first game I have purchased on my PC since Battlefield 3. The reason why? I work in front of a computer all day. To game on my PC, means coming home and continuing to sit in front of a computer. When I was younger this was okay. Now, not so much. I like my couch. I like my 55" HDTV. I LOVE my 7.1 Surround Sound system that is hooked up to my TV and consoles.
Honestly, once I decide to play whatever game it may be, what I am playing it on becomes all but irrelevant, and I simply just enjoy the act of playing a video game. So console, PC, handheld, does not really matter at all to me, just keep delivering games to play and I am happy.

Oktibbeha County Sheriff's Deputies have a man in custody in connection with a Dec. 28 shooting which left one victim with a gunshot wound.
Lorenzo Lamas Hunter, 27, of 598 Blair Road, was arrested Dec. 29 and charged with one count of aggravated assault. He is in Oktibbeha County Jail and his bond has been set at $10,000.
Chief Deputy Chadd Garnett said his court date has been tentatively scheduled for Feb. 5.
Garnett said deputies responded to a call from OCH Regional Medical Center at 1:34 a.m. of a gunshot victim, who said he was leaving a friend's house on Blair Road when he heard the back glass of his vehicle shatter. Afterwards, he realized he'd been shot and drove himself to OCH, Garnett said.
He said OCSD had been looking for the suspect after the victim was able to cooperate with authorities despite his injury.
"We actually looked for (Hunter) all day the day the incident happened and continued to look. Through information we got, he was living at 598 Blair Road. Through that information we were able to obtain a search warrant. We executed the warrant early on the 29th and apprehended the suspect without incident," Garnett said.
Interviews with the suspect have yielded no information as to a motive, he said, but it is believed the incident was over a female.
Garnett confirmed Hunter has prior misdemeanor charges.

There are quite a few fakes in the bear business as well. It is easy to fake a lot of Steiff bears because they have made so many replicas. Just take the modern labels off those and knock them around a bit to age them and people do get fooled. I have had to tell several people that what they have isn't what it appears to be.
I also collect Penguin books from the first 10 years (1935 to 1945) and there are a number of counterfeit versions around although these weren't to fool collectors they simply represent the supply and demand issues of wartime production with unofficial copies made in various other countries where the originals simply didn't get to the market. They are fun to find

Hockey's defamation win is dark news for democracy and free speechIn this cross-posting from The Conversation Michael Douglas of Curtin University argues Joe Hockey's defamation victory over Fairfax sets a dangerous precedent for free speech by Australian media outlets. We should all be careful before saying anything that will hurt our politicians' feelings: they might sue us for defamation. On Tuesday, Treasurer Joe Hockey was awarded A$200,000 damages against Fairfax Media in relation to a series of publications that focused on his political fundraising activities. That this case was brought at all is ridiculous. That Hockey won is absurd. His victory marks a dark day for freedom of speech in Australia.
So you want to take your programmatic in house?With many marketers looking at taking their programmatic trading in house OMD's Dan Robins sets out a few things they should consider before making the decision. With the exponential growth of programmatic some brands are having conversations about "moving in house", using their own trading desks rather than agencies'. Foxtel is a stand out success in doing so, plus a number of others have had rumblings. Given much of the press conjecture, one could be forgiven for thinking agencies and brands sit on opposite sides of the fence from each other.
Why we need to apply behavioural science to help stop gun killingsIn this guest post Simon Corbett argues behavioural science shows why incidents like the Charleston massacre won't stop in the US until gun laws are changed. "If he didn't have a gun then he would have made an IED or just found another way… he was crazy and intent to take lives" That is almost certainly not true and BJ Fogg, head of persuasion technology at Stanford University can explain to us why. Not that any pro-gun morons are going to listen.
The Aussie Cannes Lions haul is the lowest in four years - so do we suck at creativity?Australia took home the least Cannes Lions from Cannes in four years, but it's the categories there was success in which tells the real story argues Mumbrella editor Alex Hayes. It's probably quite telling that the first thing I saw about this year's Cannes Lions after ending a two-week media blackout yesterday was that tweet of a couple getting it on on the red carpet at the Palais. Telling because there hasn't exactly been a lot to shout about for the reporters who made the 24-hour journey to the south of France from an awards perspective - just 59 overall and not a Grand Prix amongst them.
The ABC versus News Corp and Abbott: This farce is about politics, not terrorismThis week's scandal over Q&A's decision to allow a former radical on air is being fuelled by cynical self-interest on the part of the Government and News Corp, argues Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes. So I'm an idiot. On Tuesday, when the ABC admitted it had blundered over the previous night's Q&A episode, I told all and sundry: "That was smart. Now it'll be a one-day story and everybody will move on." That's not quite how it turned out.
Why the new business beauty contest is bullshitAgencyland's relentless focus on new business and pitching is increasingly hurting both clients and agencies alike, argues Nic Christensen. If there's one question I get from agency bosses, more than any other, it is this: "Any new gossip on what's pitching?" After two and half years at Mumbrella, and close to four years as a media/marketing writer, you get accustomed to the fact that agency heads - be they media or creative - always have one eye on potential new business. But what worries me is the growing pressure on agencies to deliver a big, fat, fresh new piece of meat, (aka a major client), every couple of months.
Video battlelines: prime time vs all the timeVideo streaming has had regular headlines this year but James Wainwright argues the battle for video audiences is more complex than many have recognised. Listening to the heads of the major SVOD brands speak at Mumbrella360, it was apparent that the TV industry isn't on the brink of one war, it's on the brink of two.
Piracy: Dispelling myths, why people pirate and the reasons behind the new lawsPiracy hit the headlines once again this week after new website blocking laws passed parliament. In this in-depth look at the issue, Miranda Ward asks who pirates content, what impact it has on the media industry and what practical steps can be taken in the fight to protect copyright. "I pirate because it allows me to access television shows almost immediately after they air overseas," says Elise, a 31-year-old school teacher. "I do it simply because it has become habit. If TV Networks had adapted to the market quicker, like five years ago when broadband became fast enough to pirate, and had more diverse programming - then maybe I would not have started pirating." On Monday night, the Senate passed new legislation aimed at stopping the likes of Elise from accessing pirated content online. But, already, critics have noted the new laws have potential loopholes and could even drive people towards using virtual private networks (VPNs) in an attempt to continue accessing pirated content.
There are better ways to combat piracy than blocking websitesThe new anti-piracy laws, passed this week, allow rights holders to go court to block overseas websites but Marc C-Scott argues there are better ways of tackling the issue. The Senate passed controversial anti-piracy legislation, the Copyright Amendment (Online Infringement) Bill 2015, last night. But it's not so clear whether the legislation will actually achieve its stated ends of reducing piracy, and it might be easily circumvented by the public. Arguably, the media industry can do more to prevent piracy by making content more easily accessible rather than quixotic efforts to block it using legislation.
Why addressable TV poses a bigger threat to TV networks than any video streaming serviceThe future of television has become a ongoing issue for our industry but Paul Wilkinson argues that the medium's future revenue lies in buyers being able to buy on demographic and behavioural information. Disruption in the TV sector raises a multitude of questions such as how will the split between linear TV, SVOD and Catch Up etc play out in the next five years? How will we trade TV? What will be our currency when the TARP goes by the wayside? Will we even call it TV? But one point stands out to me more than any other: "The future of TV advertising is 'addressable'." This is something I've heard more and more about in recent months, and as a media buyer, I love the concept.
When did 'advertising' become a dirty word?Is adland afraid of using the word "advertising"? Sean Cummins argues the industry needs to take more pride in what it does. What's wrong with "advertising?" I don't mean the industry (although there is definitely a lot to talk about there), I mean the word "advertising." Because that is the business I am in, but I seldom hear the word these days. Instead, I hear everyone saying every word under the sun but the a-word.
YouTube could change the way we broadcast sport in AustraliaLast week Mumbrella revealed that Google and the NRL had discussed the online behemoth potentially bidding on the code's sports rights. In this cross post from The Conversation Marc C-Scott from Victoria University looks at what the implications of such a bid might be.
Third time lucky as News Corp delivers a low drama leadership changePeter Tonagh and Michael Miller are the low risk, logical choice to lead News Corp, writes Mumbrella's Tim Burrowes. The surprising thing about today's changes in management at News Corp is how unsurprising it all was. Contrast that with the drama of the Kim Williams firing in 2013 and the end-of-an-era feel to John Hartigan's exit in 2011.
'Mobilegeddon' is here to stay so how do you build an ad strategy for a mobile first world?The media industry often talks about the importance of mobile but Vishan Jayasinghe argues social media companies are the ones best nailing the mobile format in the advertising space. So much has been made about the underinvestment of mobile as an advertising channel. In fact Mia Freedman at the recent Mumbrella360 conference lamented how mobile dominates the 'time-spent' stat, yet only received 15 per cent of advertising spend. I don't blame her. Even despite 'mobilegeddon' being here to stay, it still seems that the normal response to add mobile to a plan has long been, and will still involve, taking a tiny portion out of the usual display budget and using a poor quality gif, or the accidental click-magnet MREC.
The four pillars of the new world of marketingEarlier this week Carolyn Bendall the ANZ's head of marketing spoke at CMO Disrupt, in this cross posting from ANZ Bluenotes, she discusses whether marketing is more science, art or a combination of the two. When you look at how the world is changing through technology – and the pace of change – people are now consuming and utilising media, sharing information, making decisions, engaging with brands and purchasing products in ways we never dreamt of 20 years ago.
More on THAT Sunday Telegraph dance
Dr Mumbo has been told the Sunday Telegraph dance which so bemused him was actually created as an Australia Day stunt in the hope readers would learn it and perform it on the day.
But the Down Under Dance was quickly repackaged as an appeal to Ellen DeGeneres to learn it on her upcoming visit to Australia.
Dr Mumbo must, however, thank editor Mick Carroll for the two (Made in China) Australian Flag trucker caps complete with Sunday Telegraph badging he sent to Mumbrella House today.
Nice touch.

By STEVEN NALLEY
Representatives from Mississippi Public Broadcasting surprised Ward-Stewart Elementary student David Jelinek Tuesday with a prize package and party for earning third place in MPB's statewide Holiday Card Contest.
Maggie Stevenson, MPB early childhood director, said the contest accepted submissions from children between the ages of 4 and 12 statewide in September and October. She said David won one of five awards statewide, including two honorable mentions and first, second and third place.
"The actual winner gets their artwork on our (Christmas) card that's sent out to legislative officials, state agencies and friends of MPB, supporters throughout the state as well as around the country that we send out the card to, and it's advertised with the name of the child and the school on the back, and their age," Stevenson said. "We advertise (the contest) through parents and kids and various media outlets, including newspapers (and) media on our air, as well as radio."
While David's artwork will not appear on MPB's official Christmas cards, MPB did give him a set of custom Christmas cards featuring his artwork to send to family and friends, Stevenson said. It's part of a prize package valued at more than $25, she said, with second-place and first-place winners receiving prize packages worth more than $50 and $100, respectively.
"We want to encourage their creativity and kind of foster that development," Stevenson said, "so we provide art materials (in the prize packages) so they can continue to draw and also to understand eventually how they can have a career in art and drawing and even cartoon work, or even working with animation for television."
David, 9, is the son of Bohumir Jelinek and Veronika Jelinekova, and he tied with Caroline Leonard of Ocean Springs for third place. David said he was excited to earn third place, and he enjoys drawing in sketchbooks routinely. He said he creates new drawings as often as three times a week.
"(I want to be) a designer, an architect (or) an exterior architect," David said. "I really like making stuff and designing."

Swift BIC Codes
Swift Codes (also called Swift-BIC, Swift Number, Swift ID, BIC Code) is a standard format of Business Identifier Codes (BIC). It is used in international money transfers. You can find the Swift Code or BIC Code for any Bank like BBAC SAL ERBIL BRANCH in any city like ARBIL using the swift code locator tool below. These codes are maintained and issued by Society for Worldwide International Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) to major banks and financial institutions across the world which enable these banks to wire transfer money using a unique identification code (SWIFT) without the need to specify a branch number or address.
|Full Swift Code:
|BIC Code & Branch Code:
International Money Transfer:
If you want to make an International wire transfer, the sender's bank will ask the Swift BIC Code of the recipient bank along with the account holder's name and account number to initiate the transfer. The first 8 character of the swift code indicates the bank in a particular region e.g. BBACIQBA is the bank code for BBAC SAL ERBIL BRANCH in IRAQ while the last 3 characters indicate the code for a particular branch in this region (here XXX is the code for the branch ). XXX indicates the main branch for the bank and is the default case if the last 3 characters are not provided. In most cases, the first 8 characters (here BBACIQBA) is sufficient for initiating International Wire Transfers as the main branch can internally transfer to other branch where the bank account of the recipient is present.
About Swift Code
SWIFT Code stands for Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication code. A SWIFT code is also called BIC Code - Bank Identification Code which is used to identify banks uniquely throughout the world. The SWIFT code is an 8 or 11 alphanumeric characters code that uniquely identifies financial institution. If a SWIFT code is eleven characters, this means that the bank has added a three-digit code to denote a specific branch of a bank.
First 4 characters - Bank Code - Identifies financial institution uniquely (only letters)
Next 2 characters - Country Code (only letters)
Next 2 characters - Location Code (Letters and Digits)
Optional Last 3 characters - Branch Code of a bank ('XXX' for main office) (Letters and Digits)
Browse SWIFT / BIC Code By Country[A] [B] [C] [D] [E] [F] [G] [H] [I] [J] [K] [L] [M] [N] [O] [P] [Q] [R] [S] [T] [U] [V] [W] [X] [Y] [Z]

User-friendly modelling environment where you can work (and play) with building models. It provides a range of environmental performance data such as: energy consumption, internal comfort data and HVAC component sizes. Output is based on detailed sub-hourly simulation time steps using the EnergyPlus simulation engine. DesignBuilder can be used for simulations of many common HVAC types, naturally ventilated buildings, buildings with daylighting control, double facades, advanced solar shading strategies etc. Screen Shots
Building energy simulation, visualisation, CO2 emissions, solar shading, natural ventilation, daylighting, comfort studies, CFD, HVAC simulation, pre-design, early-stage design, building energy code compliance checking, OpenGL EnergyPlus interface, building stock modelling, hourly weather data, heating and cooling equipment sizing
The EnergyPlus engine used within DesignBuilder has been tested against the IEA BESTest building load and HVAC tests. Results are available under Testing and Validation on the EnergyPlus web site. DesignBuilder-specific BESTest validation results will be available in June 2006.
Expertise Required
DesignBuilder has been specifically developed for ease of use and while basic understanding of building engineering is useful, DesignBuilder requires minimal expertise. The software is provided with free tutorials and training can be provided if necessary.
200+ (April 2006). The DesignBuilder user base is distributed around the world and growing fast.
Consulting engineers, architects, academic research and teaching departments. DesignBuilder is a very useful teaching tool. Its easy-to-use front-end allows students to focus on learning building energy simulation with minimal time wasted learning software.
OpenGL solid modeller, allows building models to be assembled simply by positioning, stretching and cutting 'blocks' in 3-D space. Realistic 3-D elements provide visual feedback of actual element thickness and room areas and volumes. There are no limitations on surface shape - surfaces having more than 4 vertices are triangulated (where necessary) to ensure compatibility with the EnergyPlus simulator. Building geometry can be imported from CAD data.
Data templates allow you to load common building constructions, activities, HVAC & lighting systems into your design by selecting from drop-down lists. You can also add your own templates if you often work on similar types of buildings. This, combined with data inheritance, allows global changes to be made at building, block or zone level. You can also control the level of detail in each building model allowing the tool to be used effectively at any stage of the design process.
Glazing and other openings in the fabric can either be defined parametrically by making simple model data settings or they can be drawn explicitly.
A comprehensive range of simulation data can be shown in annual, monthly, daily, hourly or sub-hourly intervals:
- Energy consumption broken down by fuel and end-use.
- Internal air, mean radiant and operative temperatures and humidity
- Comfort output including temperature distribution curves, ASHRAE 55 comfort criteria, Fanger PMV, Pierce PMV ET, Pierce PMV SET, Pierce Discomfort Index (DISC), Pierce Thermal Sens. Index (TSENS), Kansas Uni TSV.
- Site weather data
- Heat transmission through building fabric including walls, roofs, infiltration, ventilation etc.
- Heating and cooling loads.
- CO2 generation.
- Heating and cooling plant sizes can be calculated using design weather data.
Data can be displayed graphically or in tabular form and can be exported in a range of formats to spreadsheet and custom reports.
Computer Platform
Microsoft Windows XP and 2000
Programming Language
C++ (geometric engine), Visual Basic (dialogs) and Fortran (EnergyPlus simulation engine).
DesignBuilder is an excellent choice for early-stage modelling of building designs. The advanced OpenGL modeller provides an environment in which you can test out various design options for environmental comfort, energy consumption and visual appearance.
The DesignBuilder approach to natural ventilation allows detailed models of natural ventilation air flows with the minimum of effort.
DesignBuilder can be used with custom versions of EnergyPlus which allows researchers to combine GUI ease-of-use with �under the hood� modifications to the EnergyPlus source code.
A range of common HVAC systems is available from within the DesignBuilder user interface but users requiring a wider range of different HVAC types should consider exporting EnergyPlus IDF input files and working in the EnergyPlus IDF editor. An advanced HVAC interface to a wide range of EnergyPlus HVAC systems will be available early 2007.

5 ways companies can make sure they're following the Americans with Disabilities Act
Recent U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) lawsuits are causing employers to evaluate how well they comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
There are many possible accommodations employers can offer employees with a physical or mental condition under the ADA. While many accommodations are obvious, some, such as a leave of absence, can catch even conscientious employers off guard.
Employers must consider a leave of absence as a reasonable accommodation even when the employee has exhausted paid time off or doesn't qualify for other leaves of absence. The EEOC hasn't provided significant direction on leave as an accommodation since 2002, but the number of employees protected by the ADA has increased dramatically since 2009, when the ADA Amendments Act expanded the definition of "disability."
The combination of a lack of recent guidance, an increased number of employees classified as disabled and increased EEOC attention has caused uncertainty for employers. In 2011 alone, the Job Accommodation Network fielded more than 45,000 inquiries, mostly related to job accommodations. Leave of absence confuses employers, but an employer can ensure the company is compliant and serving its employees' best interests.
Here are some examples of how to do so.
• Review and update company policies on leave, absences and no-fault attendance.
Your company's policies are important tools that should be reviewed regularly. Also, clearly state that the company will provide reasonable accommodations for disabilities and provide a review process for consideration of extended leave as an ADA accommodation.
