WALTHAM — Weather-wise, this past Thursday wasn't the best day to announce a major solar project. It was, in fact, nearly the worst — 40 degrees, gusting winds, overcast skies and a downpour that showed no signs of relenting.

WALTHAM — The Waltham residential property tax rate for the current fiscal year rose by 28.74 cents, or about 16 percent, the largest increase among the five Addison Northwest Supervisory Union towns.
Waltham's selectboard set its residential and non-residential tax rates last week. Like all Vermont property tax rates, an increase in the statewide school tax rate pushed the town's rates higher.
VERGENNES — Bixby Memorial Free Library will host local marathoner John Lent on Friday, March 21, at 7 p.m., as he presents "A Marathoner's Quest for Seven Continents."
Lent will share heartwarming stories of intrepid runners who recently participated in marathons held in Antarctica and South America. The presentation in the Bixby's Community Room is expected to last a little over an hour with additional time for questions and comments.
VERGENNES — The Vergennes Union High School board on Monday began the process of drafting a new budget for the school after voters in the five Addison Northwest Supervisory Union towns rejected the original spending plan on Town Meeting Day.
Comments by VUHS board members and ANwSU officials there and afterward showed some differences on how much and even whether to cut the budget, including the need for staff reductions.
VERGENNES — Voters in the three towns that send students to the Vergennes Union Elementary School approved a proposed spending plan by a margin of 447-322 on Town Meeting Day.
The school budgeted $4.08 million in spending for the fiscal year that beginns July 1.
Votes from Vergennes, Waltham and Panton are co-mingled, so results from the individual towns are not available.
PANTON — A longtime Waltham school director will reportedly step down, and Panton will have at least one new selectboard member in March, but little change in the ranks of Addison town officials looms on Town Meeting Day.
In Waltham, Kristin Bristow will not seek to be re-nominated from the town meeting floor to the Vergennes Union High School board, according to Addison Northwest Supervisory Union Superintendent Tom O'Brien.
VERGENNES — Facing a fiscal crisis that Bixby Free Memorial Library board members believe could bankrupt the Vergennes fixture in a few short years, those board members this winter approached the five communities the library serves seeking a major boost in the support it receives within town budgets.
Bixby board members said they understood why responses from local selectboards were mixed when the Bixby initially asked for an increase in support from $13.66 per resident to about $24.
VERGENNES — Republican leaders in the Addison-3 House district on Thursday agreed to recommend two GOP nominees as candidates to serve out the two-year term of the late Rep. Greg Clark, R-Vergennes: Warren VanWyck of Ferrisburgh and Mary Ann Castimore of Waltham.
VERGENNES — The Vergennes Union Elementary School board on Monday night moved closer to adopting a 2013-2014 budget that would boost spending by 4.7 percent to a little less than $4.1 million.
Board chairwoman Tara Brooks said on Tuesday the board would hold a special meeting during the second week of January to make final a plan that would increase spending by about $190,000.
She said the board will probably adopt what they looked at on Monday.
"We're pretty confident of where we are now in terms or our numbers," Brooks said.
FERRISBURGH — Members of the Ferrisburgh selectboard said at its Oct. 2 meeting that they plan to shut down and seal up the town-owned Union Meeting Hall for the winter. At some point, officials might survey residents asking what the town should do with the prominent building across Route 7 from the former town office building.

After getting dominated in the season opener the Steelers pulled a complete 180 in Week 2 and dominated the Seattle Seahawks, 24-0, at Heinz Field. How one-sided was this game? The Seahawks did not cross the 50-yard line until there were 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
Some quick thoughts for you to discuss…
– Mike Wallace, for the second week in a row, came up big once again catching eight passes (he was targeted on nine) for 126 yards (his second straight 100-yard game) and a touchdown. That included his first "big" play of the season when he hauled in a 53-yard pass from Ben Roethlisberger in the third quarter. In two games he's caught 16 passes for 233 yards. Antonio Brown also had a nice bounce back game catching four passes and also recording a 41-yard punt return in the first quarter.
– Rashard Mendenhall had a great first half but slowed down a bit in the second half, but the 1-2 punch of Mendenhall and Isaac Redman worked quite well for the game. Both players scored a touchdown, with Mendenhall's coming on a one-yard plunge on the Steelers' second drive, while Redman took a handoff out of the shotgun and rumbled for 20 yards behind a great block from Ramon Foster (who started in place of Chris Kemoeatu) and then completely embarrassed the lone Seattle safety that had a chance at making a tackle.
– The Steelers defense held Seattle to just 164 yards of offense, and only 31 on the ground. Tarvaris Jackson completed most of his passes, but they were all high percentage, quick, safe throws. The Steelers didn't bring much of a pass rush in the first half, dropping players back into coverage on most plays, but turned the dogs loose in the second half sacking Jackson five times. James Harrison, Troy Polamalu, Lawrence Timmons, Steve McClendon, Larry Foote, LaMarr Woodley and James Farrior were all credited with at least half a sack.
– William Gay started in place of Bryant McFadden and played well, but it's hard to tell how much of it was him playing well and how much of it was Tarvaris Jackson playing like Tarvaris Jackson.
– Seattle's longest offensive play of the day: 17 yards. Emmanuel Sanders completed a 15-yard pass in the first quarter.
– Around the rest of the AFC North: Baltimore lost to Tennessee, Cleveland beat Indianapolis and Cincinnati lost to Denver. Everybody in the AFC North is 1-1 after two weeks.

This is a "rugged" phone. It's about as "rugged" as phones come nowadays. If you want a dainty Razor that breaks when you look at it just so that you can fit into the fashion society, be my guest. This phone isn't meant to be pretty. It's meant to deliver, and Nextel knows solid phones like no other.

Ten Thousand Global Rank Drop and Still On Top The World
Google's New Algorithm Horrifies Most SEO - EnterpriseGRC Freefall 10K Global Rank, 2K US, and We're Cool With That
A lot of attention has been paid to Google's promised Panda 3 changes to their search algorithm. Their emphasis in reducing over optimized SEO sites is intended to separate the less reputable methods for raising google ranking from those that earn their rank through content. Another important factor is the desire to customize site returns based in location. The need for an effective webspam optimization algorithm is long overdue. Certainly, the winners from this recent change will favor Google's paying customers and hurt notorious spammers. Unfortunately, this clean sweep is likely to impact a lot of medium and small players who earned their place simply through perseverance and content.
To quote Search Engine Round Table "Google's head of search spam, Matt Cutts, announced as a side note during his panel at SXSW that Google is releasing an algorithm update specifically to target sites over doing their SEO. Matt Cutts said this is Google's attempt to "level the playing field" between webmasters that build quality content versus webmasters who are just really aggressive SEOs.
Matt Cutts "In the next few days, we're launching an important algorithm change targeted at webspam. The change will decrease rankings for sites that we believe are violating Google's existing quality guidelines. We've always targeted webspam in our rankings, and this algorithm represents another improvement in our efforts to reduce webspam and promote high quality content. While we can't divulge specific signals because we don't want to give people a way to game our search results and worsen the experience for users, our advice for webmasters is to focus on creating high quality sites that create a good user experience and employ white hat SEO methods instead of engaging in aggressive webspam tactics." (found at http://www.webmasterworld.com/google/4444830.htm)
But we're okay. We never used an SEO tool and our rank is based in content. In fact, we landed in third place behind Thomas Reuters (13.1 Billion) and IBM OpenPages (boasting an 11 billion dollar investment in analytics alone). We're cool with that. We can be third.
With that said, over the period of 4/21 to 4/25 EnterpriseGRC Solutions, Inc.® domain, http://enterprisegrc.com experienced what many small business websites were feeling, a free fall drop. There's a lot of writing about this including a claim that Panda 3 has been devastating to businesses around the globe. http://www.squidoo.com/google-panda-update-changes-to-seo-in-2012 CNET provides detail analysis of the impact this latest release had on over 2000 websites. http://news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-20054797-281.html
Our chronicle of Crazy Traffic Stats and Open Kimono SEO Madness has been to show our readers how content, relevant keywords and resistance to advertising scam temptation can generate a valueable web community. All in all, we landed back in the 30K US rank and in the 170K world. The changes in algorithm mainly affected RSS feeds, which clearly don't reflect reality in numbers (see CRAP™ Counterfeit Reader Access Performance: http://enterprisegrc.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=130:acta&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=50) The associated content that caused us to rate what we regard as an unfair rise in rank, was probably feedcat. We noted that the feeder dropped reports from thousands of readers to perhaps a few dozen. RSS is a useful feature, especially to global readers. Exploiting RSS is not.
Part of our strategy is to show our readers where to find great stuff. We use a process in Joomla called a wrapper. This allows us to show content to a reader without moving it from its home. This method is also allowing the content owner to retain their own reading traffic. When the organic content is changed or taken down, we just have an update or a blank space. It's a more fair way to promote our collegues and avoids mis-representing anyone's copyright. That said, EnterpriseGRC Solutions® still pays to be a sponsor for organizations such as ISACA®. We associate with consent. We have never accepted payment from anyone we promote.
In spite of the overall drop of 10K in world rank, our statistics for search on the topic of the site "Enterprise GRC" is still amazingly strong.
Our core brand, dating back to 2003 "Facilitated Compliance Management" includes some very generic language, but is ranked second behind Yahoo in search engine rank.
More important is that the world knows what we care most about, Cloud, GRC and Green
There's no hiding that our favorite overall GRC platform is Archer. So we compared our terms with their search results.
Even though traffic ranks have been leveled by the new Google Search algorhythm, we checked our position using http://www.seocentro.com/tools/search-engines/keyword-position.html
We also checked rank for "Enterprise GRC", our absolute two favorite words in the whole wide world.
We're also very pleased that the world understands that EnterpriseGRC Solutions isn't about any single product. We are entirely about Strategy. Ranking 7th in search placement, and in the company of SAS, ITGRC Forum (we love them) and Search Compliance at Techtarget, we think our 10K freefall was absolutely fine.
Boom, we've clearly landed.
Were cool with that.

In its editorial on the Obama administration coming out in favor of reauthorization of key Patriot Act provisions, the Wall Street Journal writes:
When George W. Bush was President, the Patriot Act became part of the liberal conspiracy theory that Republicans were engaged in a lawless crusade to turn the U.S. into a police state. But the Patriot Act can now join Guantanamo, military commissions, unlimited detention, drone strikes, the state secrets doctrine and Middle Eastern democracy as Bush policies that Mr. Obama has embraced one way or another.
That's a very handy litany the Journal has provided, and an encouraging one, too.
It's worth recalling the ferocious liberal attacks against President Bush for his counterterrorism policies. The fact that a liberal Democratic president has seen fit to embrace many of them—including policies that he criticized during the campaign—is quite important. Such things are often the best way a nation can reach consensus on certain issues (think of Nixon's going to China and Bill Clinton's embracing welfare reform). What is becoming more and more clear with the passage of time is that the counterterrorism architecture put in place by Obama's predecessor was not only right; it is now in the process of being vindicated even by those who once lacerated Mr. Bush.
Just as Harry Truman deserves credit for helping to shape the post-World War II world, George W. Bush deserves credit for helping to shape the post-9/11 world. Barack Obama will never say so, but his actions demonstrate it. And in this instance, actions are far more significant than words.

Okay. I can't hold it in any more. This (took out the link from paranoia, but safe to say that it is a publishing house that makes books about the bud) is where I am working now. I love it. It's very... San Francisco. Even though it's in Oakland. The really crazy thing is that I was applying for police dispatch positions before I found this place. How varied is my life.
For the first time in simply ages, I found myself in the position of welcoming back travelers, instead of being the traveler welcomed back. It was kinda nice. And I got souvenirs! Presents are nice. Most of them were made of french chocolate, and they are gone now. Mmm. I told Christy it was time for her to go back when I finished the last bar last night while watching the Parisian episodes of Sex and the City.
This weekend's event was one of the most eclectic weddings I have ever been to. It was for a dear life-long family friend, one of my mother's Mothers For Peace fellows, and the wedding guests ranged from the home-made peasant skirt attired to a member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. There were equal amounts of sequins and birkenstocks. It was great.
What sucked was that I was sick as a dog. The entire time I was traveling, I got exactly one mild cold. Since I've been back, I don't think I've been healthy for more than a few days in a row (if you count hangovers), and this last one was truly nasty and knocked me out for about a week and a half. Blech. Maybe my body truly is built for motion. Well, tough shit, body. Get used to the sedentary life.
Having said that, I am completely ready for a mini-trip. I think I am going to go call Rach and convince her to take the convertible out for a spin on the coast. Oh yeah, time for some wind in my hair and familiar haunts.

Braves 6, Cardinals 3
ATLANTA (AP) -- John Smoltz won for the first time in
eight starts, and the Atlanta Braves hit four home runs in
a 6-to-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals Monday
Coming off the worst month in franchise history, the
Braves have won two straight for the first time since May
28th -- a span of 33 games.
The Cardinals are losers of 11 of their last 13 and
have dropped seven straight on the road.
Smoltz (5-5) and Cardinals rookie Anthony Reyes (1-3)
both returned following a 55-minute rain delay in the
bottom of the third.
Marcus Giles and Edgar Renteria hit back-to-back
homers before play was suspended. When it resumed, Reyes
gave up Brian McCann's sixth homer, a two-run shot to
right-center that put Atlanta ahead 4-to-3. Jeff
Francoeur, who followed with a double, scored on Scott
Thorman's R-B-I single to make it 5-to-3. Ryan Langerhans
hit a solo shot in the seventh.
Smoltz allowed seven hits and three runs in six
innings. Albert Pujols hit his 28th homer -- a solo shot
that gave St. Louis a 3-nothing lead in the top of the
third. But Smoltz retired 11 of the last 14 batters.
Smoltz watched Atlanta's ragged bullpen, which entered
with 17 blown saves in 33 chances, give up leads he handed
over in six games. This time, right-hander Chad Paronto
pitched the seventh, Ken Ray worked the eighth and new
closer Jorge Sosa pitched the ninth, earning his third
save in four chances.

Some people have problems digesting milk protein or milk
sugar (lactose intolerance). But these problems are very rare
in babies. Until your doctor can evaluate your baby, it is usually not
advisable to switch formula or stop breast-feeding as a means to remedy
suspected food digestion problems.
A vast
majority of babies diagnosed with
colic do not have health problems that affect
digestion. But many things can cause some
degree of abdominal gas, which can make crying worse.
If your child's doctor suggests medicine to reduce gas,
use it exactly as prescribed.

Oh my!
A perfect cold, clear powder day in the Wasatch. As promissed, the day started with a gorgeous sunrise, lots of explosives, and a few VERY LARGE avalanches. As I mentioned yesterday, the hazard is high and the couple monster slides we pulled out this morning are definitely indicative of that. This slide extended for 500+ feet from North Two Goons through Limber Pine (don't worry, all those tracks on the viewer's left were put in AFTER we opened the area).
We had alot of traffic on Pinecone and the Peak today; thanks to all the locals who made the hike and had a good time today. Seeing hundreds of happy and snowy faces all day made the work seem worth while. There is still PLENTY of untracked snow out there to ride and ski. Tomorrow is supposed to be equally clear and I'd say if you didn't make it out today, DO make it out in the morning. And if anyone there thinks we're overly cautious with our closures, make the trip out to Pinecone Ridge and check out what these slides did. Nothing quite like an outdoor classroom to advance your avalanche awareness. We'll see you on the hike.
Are the conditions good for two beginner to intermediate folks to get up the mountain on Monday? I've heard alot about avanlanches. Should I be worried? I'm determining if I should go to Park City or another resort. Thanks for your reply in advance.
Eric replies:
Patrick, if you're staying inbounds at a resort (like PCMR) the risk of an avalanche is next to nothing due to the fact that our snow safety team does a large amount of control work to trigger any potential avalanche prior to public is on the mountain. So, please plan to come on up and enjoy the great conditions!

Hang tight, lots going on at the moment!

President Goodluck Jonathan has at last condemned the mob action and the killing of four students of the University of Port Harcourt last October in Omuokiri, Aluu.
The president, who was represented by the Minister of Education, Professor Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufai at the 29th convocation of UNIPORT Saturday, said the incident which occurred in one of the university's neighbouring communities was condemnable and uncalled for.
He also said the federal government had earmarked N1 billion for the establishment of a Law Faculty in the University of Port Harcourt, half of which had been released to the institution.
Jonathan also charged the university to provide leadership for tertiary institutions in the country in the fields of oil and gas studies Jonathan , who is the Visitor to the university, also said the federal government would continue to create employment opportunities for youths in the country.
He said "the government is particularly interested in the commencement of Law programmes in this university. To demonstrate this commitment,
TETFund ( Tertiary Education Trust Fund) has already committed the sum of N1 billion to the project and released 50% of the amount to the university.
"Bearing in mind the location of this university, in the heartland of the Niger Delta, I expect UNIPORT to provide academic leadership in research and excellence, in petroleum related studies. It is desirable that the university formulates new initiatives in the control of gas flaring, oil spillages and in the optimal use of the bi-products of petroleum extraction", the president said.
In his own message at the event, the Rivers state governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, said the state government would build a structure for the university in the name of one of the graduands, Chief Damien
Nweje, whom he said encouraged him to attain in life.
He also said the state government would institute a professorial chair in the university with a N10 million grant in honour of Professor Tam David-West, Justice Adolphus Karibi-Whyte (JSC), Professor Tekena Tamuno and Professor Otonti Nduka.
He also said government would wade into the challenge of land encroachment, which the university had been facing with communities around it, promising to see to resolving it.
Also speaking, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Port Harcourt, Professor Joseph Ajienka, said the successful accreditation processes that the university recently went through afforded it operations in various areas. The convocation ceremony witnessed the graduation of 6,935 graduads from various departments and for various degrees.
It also saw the conferment of honourary doctoral degrees on four distinguished personalities, including Alhaji Aliko Dangote, renowned Historian and former Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan,
Professor Emeritus Tekena Tamuno, President, International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF), Dr. Lamine Diack, as well as Prince Yemisi Adedoyin-Shyllon, a notable Arts patron. Among dignitaries who graced the event was the National Chairman of the ruling People's

Office of P-20 Initiatives Early College High School program honors graduates
(July 23, 2010)--Last month, the UTSA Office of P-20 Initiatives celebrated the accomplishments of nearly 180 Early College High School (ECHS) program graduating seniors at the Convocation Center on the Main Campus. More than 20 percent of the program graduates will attend UTSA to proceed with their higher education.
The ECHS program is a collaborative effort of UTSA and the East Central, Southside and Southwest independent school districts. The program focuses on creating a learning community within each high school. Participating high school students graduate with an average 24 college credit hours as they also earn their high school diplomas.
The UTSA Office of P-20 Initiatives strives to increase UTSA's partnerships and collaborations with educational institutions, businesses, industries, community-based organizations, and public and private foundations to strengthen the quality of education in San Antonio and South Texas from kindergarten to college.

Forest products get boost from biochemical company
The Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board on April 22 approved $21.2 million in funding to renewable biochemical company Segetis, Inc.
A green chemistry business based in Golden Valley, Segetis will receive a $20 million loan from the Douglas J. Johnson Trust Fund, which IRRRB administers, to construct a facility at Laskin Energy Park in Hoyt Lakes. The firm initially will extract and refine sugars from corn grown in southern Minnesota. It will transition by 2018 to extracting sugars from about 90,000 cords of wood harvested annually in a seven-county area. Those sugars can be used to make biochemicals, which are considered more ecologically friendly than petrochemicals.
"Segetis is on the leading edge of the biochemical economy and will add value to our timber and forest products economy," IRRRB Commissioner Tony Sertich said following the board action. "This innovative company's presence in our region will help position the Iron Range as a national leader in the biochemical economy."
IRRRB also will provide a $1.2 million loan to Hoyt Lakes to buy an existing structure from Nott Corp., which ceased light manufacturing operations in Laskin Park during the recession. Segetis would use that structure during its startup phase.
ALLETE Inc., which generates electricity at the park, will invest $3 million for infrastructure improvements, including a utility building, steam boilers and storage for industrial gases needed by Segetis and future tenants. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development is providing a $7.1 million grant.
Segetis represents the third significant investment into Northeast Minnesota's new biochemical industry, following Sappi's production of cellulosic fiber in Cloquet and Lonza's production of larch arabinogalactan in Cohasset, said Minnesota Power Director of Regional Development Nancy Aronson Norr.
"This is exciting because it identifies emerging technology to promote the sustainable use of our massive wood basket," she said. "This also puts Minnesota on the radar for other international opportunities."
UPM, owner of Blandin Paper in Grand Rapids, also has entered the biochemical market. Last June, the Helsinki- based corporation entered into a joint development agreement with U.S.-based Renmatix, which manufactures celluslosic sugar for the biochemical and biofuels markets. The long-term goal is to make cost-competitive bio-based alternatives to petrochemicals. Area officials have declined to comment on how the development might play out regionally.Previous Around the Region Articles:

Press release: Beyond your device: Control, Connect, Experience
DC13-187 (10 June 2013)
BT launches integrated solution for large scale "Bring Your Own Device" deployments
BT announced today a set of solutions designed to help organizations reap the productivity gains promised by BYOD. BT's integrated approach is designed to help CIOs deploy smart devices on a large scale while improving end-user experience.
Recent research1 reveals that exponential growth in the use of smart devices has led to significant and increased demand for bandwidth and services. As a consequence, a majority of users suffer from login delays and a performance decline in some applications, which impacts negatively the productivity gains promised by smart devices. This research reveals that ubiquitous Wi-Fi access over a better network is key to the development of BYOD. It also highlights overwhelming positivity among IT managers who believe that adopting a BYOD policy confers a competitive advantage.
BT's BYOD approach provides the control, connect and experience features at the core of successful BYOD strategies. It leverages market-leading capabilities from the BT Connect portfolio of networking solutions and the BT Assure portfolio of security services and is supported by BT Advise professional services offerings.
A number of new services, products and features are being launched today, completing BT's BYOD solution, including:
- BT Advise BYOD Ready Infrastructure Quick Start: a new professional services offer, assessing organizations' readiness and the impact of requirements on their WAN and LAN.
- BT Advise BYOD Quick Start: a new professional services offer helping customers quickly identify the steps needed to minimize potential risks and assess how prepared an organization is for the strategic introduction of smart devices and BYOD, from policy to implementation.
- A suite of integrated solutions for CIOs:
- New wireless LAN capabilities, including enhancement management, policy control and reporting. This includes enhanced guest Wi-Fi services giving CIOs greater visibility and control of guests, including their location, allowing for customized content delivery across company premises.
- A new cloud based device management & mobile application management service, managing content and apps for users.
- A new MobileXpress package offering secure remote access delivered from the Cloud from £5 per user/month.
- Connect Intelligence for devices, a new service that gives central visibility of applications running on smart devices.
Neil Sutton, VP Global Portfolio, BT Global Services said: "Through our recent research surveying IT managers and users working in major companies all around the world, it has become very clear that BYOD productivity gains are only reaped if network services can cope securely with the extra load. Great devices require better networks. We are ideally placed to provide the intelligent network solutions to meet those needs. Our wireless solutions and our identity and access control policy platform are designed to provide a seamless user experience whilst implementing compliant and enhanced infrastructure security, all from a centralized point. Our wireless solutions allow organizations to give that connectivity to their own customers and to personalize their experience thanks to our identity and location management solutions. We now offer a great value proposition to our customers, with an integrated mix of fixed and mobile services, a strong professional services wrap and proven security features and we offer that in a cost effective way. During the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we showed our ability to deliver very large scale projects combining all of those elements and we are now determined to put that expertise at the service of companies all over the world."1 BYOD research undertaken by Vanson Bourne for BT and Cisco in May 2013 - www.bt.com/beyondyourdevice
Through our recent research surveying IT managers and users working in major companies all around the world, it has become very clear that BYOD productivity gains are only reaped if network services can cope securely with the extra load. Great devices require better networks."

35 Years Ago: Tom Petty Finally Hits the Big Time With 'Damn the Torpedoes'
The signs were there, signaling that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' third album, 'Damn the Torpedoes,' would be their breakthrough.
The signs were there, signaling that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' third album, 'Damn the Torpedoes,' would be their breakthrough.
10 things Tom Petty has expressed hate -- or at least, strong dislike - for in recent interviews.
Tom Petty's new album finds him taking on some controversial issues.
Tom Petty's 'Honey Bee,' released on 'Wildflowers,' is one of Rock's Hidden Gems.
Magic happened on the 2004 Rock n' Roll Induction stage. In case you missed it, check out Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Steve Winwood, Prince and Dhani Harrison, the son of George Harrison (who wrote the song), cover The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Prince kills the guitar solo!
Join us for a fun night on the Emerson lawn on Saturday August 24th with live music and a classic rock and roll movie!
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have just announced the dates for their 2013 summer tour, and now Petty is discussing some of the group's plans for both those live performances and an upcoming album they plan to release later this year.
Let's say you're listening to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' 1982 hit, 'You Got Lucky.' Great song, you're thinking, but those synthesizers don't sound as cool now as they did 30 years ago. Well, if that's how you feel, you're in luck. The Gaslight Anthem have released a cover of the song as a B-side to their new single, '45.'
I caught Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' "Into the Great Wide Open" this morning on the Moose and, as it always does, it got me thinking about the video for the song. The masterful songwriting was captured beautifully back then, with great support from a young Johnny Depp. Let's reflect not only on a video, but on a time when it was all about the video. I want my MTV back!
Here's a look at some notable birthdays being celebrated today:
Tom Petty
Age: 61
Occupation: Singer, Songwriter, and Musician
Known For: Fronting Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, performing with the Traveling Wilburys, selling more than 60 million albums, and numerous hit songs such as 'Refugee,' 'The Waiting,' and 'Mary Jane's Last Dance'

Preservation of historic places is a key element in historic interpretation and to understanding our nations past. Yet the National Park Service can not do it alone. Groups such as the Civil War Preservation Trust and the Central Virginia Battlefields Trust are essential to the survival of countless acres of land as well as historic structures across Virginia and the United States. Their efforts allow future generations of Americans to visit and learn from historically significant sites that could be lost forever.

GREENVILLE – The Starkville Academy Academy Lady Volunteers are starting to mimic the way they have played the last couple of seasons.
The Lady Volunteers downed Washington School 46-31 Tuesday night on the road to improve to 9-3 overall and 2-0 in district play.
Sallie Kate Richardson led SA with a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds. Nora Kathryn Carroll added 11 points.
The Lady Vols took a 17-16 lead into the second quarter, but that's where the score stood heading into the locker room at halftime. Neither team was able to score in the second period.
SA came out and took control in the third quarter as it outscored Washington School 14-7 to take a 31-23 lead into the final period.
The Lady Vols kept the offense coming and outscored the Lady Generals 15-8 in the fourth quarter.
SA will be back in action Thursday when they travel to Jackson Academy for another district game. Action starts at 4 p.m. with the junior high girls team.

Love the covers. They fit perfect. Instructions could have been a little better. But I figured it out.

We are very satisfied with the seat covers we purchased. They fit like they were put on in the factory - very nice looking. Not sure how easy they were to install as our grandson installed them for us. He was also very pleased with the outcome.

Replying to: No voice dial? by digitalmd
You're Wrong!!!! There IS Voice Dial!
There is Voice Dial. I have had the phone for five days so I know what I am talking about. It actually has Voice Command which you can access quickly by holding down the "*" key. It gives you the option to say "Call Billy Cell" or "Call 999-999-9999". There are other voice commands you can do too like navigating through menus and such. You don't even have to train the phone. So this is much cooler than plain old voice dial.

Industry leaders integrate product functionality to make it easier for fleets to comply with HOS regulations and improve driver and vehicle performance
MINNEAPOLIS, September 26, 2011—Xata Corporation (NASDAQ: XATA), a leader in fleet optimization and compliance software, and McLeod Software, a leading provider of transportation software solutions, today announced joint-development projects to help fleets comply with hours of service (HOS) regulations and to more effectively collect, integrate, sort, share and view driver and vehicle data to improve fleet operations. The projects were announced at the McLeod Software Users' Conference, underway now through Sept. 27 in Chicago.
"Our hands-on partnership with McLeod demonstrates Xata's ongoing commitment to remain at the forefront when it comes to helping fleets leverage technology to keep their operations compliant and efficient," said Christian Schenk, vice president of product marketing, Xata. "Our partnership also demonstrates our commitment to working with other industry leaders to ensure fleets have the robust functionality they need."
The two companies currently have two joint-development projects underway, each of which is focused on integrating Xata functionality into McLeod's product offerings. The specific two projects are:
- Real-time hours of service (HOS). To meet customer demand for greater visibility into drivers' available hours, the companies are integrating each XataNet's and Xata Turnpike's hours-of-service applications into McLeod's LoadMaster dispatch software. This will give fleets a real-time view of exactly how many hours a driver has available, both for current and future drive cycles. Not only will this make it easier for fleets and drivers to comply with industry 70/60 regulations and the 34-hour reset rule, it will help dispatchers more effectively utilize driver availability and plan and route deliveries.
- Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR). To enable fleets to proactively manage inspections and better utilize maintenance data, XataNet's DVIR functionality is being integrated into McLeod's third-party vehicle maintenance modules provided by Cetaris and SquareRigger. This integration will include automatic notification of a vehicle's mechanical problems so proactive maintenance can be scheduled before those issues become more expensive to fix. The integration will also increase line of sight to both in- and out-of-service tractors and trailers, enabling dispatchers to better utilize existing assets. Other functionality, including the automatic generation of purchase orders and detailed reporting whenever maintenance work is performed on the road, will also be included.
"Our partnership with Xata unites two industry-leading companies that share a common goal of providing fleets with real-time information and easy-to-use tools to improve operations," said Tom McLeod, CEO of McLeod Software. "We're excited to join forces with them and look forward to providing the private and for-hire fleets we both serve with more high value solutions."

Even before these six foundations, however, Israel was, as stated above, already in being in the divine mind, because without Israel there could have been no Torah (M. Friedmann, Seder Eliyahu, p. 161).
The second series embraces the period from the expulsion of man from Eden to the Flood. In the ten generations from Adam to Noah man did not adhere to "meekness," did not do what was right (ib. p. 80), but fell lower and lower until he practiced violence, theft, immorality, and murder. For this reason his destruction became a necessity (ib. p. 190).
The fourth series is filled with "meekness" (ib. p. 163). Whoever studies the Torah receives "meekness" as a reward. In addition there is a second recompense, which is the Mishnah. In this introduction of the Mishnah there is a trace of apology intended for those who believe that only the Torah was delivered on Mount Sinai. The fifth series extends from King Manasseh to the building of the Second Temple (ib. p. 163). The last series treats of the future. God, surrounded by all the saints, sits in His bet ha-midrash and counts up the generations of the different periods of time, what they have learned, and what reward they shall receive therefor (ib. p. 4). The future of these saints will be like the beginning of the life of man (ib. p. 164).
Besides this fundamental idea both parts of the midrash emphasize the importance of virtue, of a religious life, and of the study of the Law, and exhort to repentance and almsgiving, greater tolerance toward both Jews and non-Jews, diligent study and respect for scholars, modesty and humility, and the avoidance of non-Jewish manners and customs. The midrash, further, attempts to prove that all human life is based on the two extremes, toil in the sweat of the brow, and the regaining of the freedom of the soul. Hence it begins with the expulsion of Adam from Eden (Gen. iii. 24), and closes with the same theme. The cherubim in Eden are identified with man, and are the symbol of the reward of well-doing; the flaming sword is hell, the punishment for evil-doing. The way to the tree of life is said to be "derek ereẓ" (good behavior), while the guarding of the tree of life is like the guarding of the word of God.
By derek ereẓ the midrash understands that which is fitting, useful, and honest; and these three qualities are the fundamental principles upon which the human world-system and society rest. An example of derek ereẓ in this midrash is the following: The princes of the Philistines possessed derek ereẓ, because when the Philistines wished to convey the Ark to the Israelites they would not send it back without sacrifices (I Sam. vi. 3; Friedmann, l.c. p. 58). On the other hand, the inhabitants of Bethshemesh did not possess it, inasmuch as instead of bowing before the Ark they rejoiced and danced before it boldly, so that misfortune came upon them and 50,000 of them fell (ib.).
The twelve chapters of the second part of the midrash are characterized by the fact that the narratives showing why in this world things often go amiss with the good and well with the wicked, are commonly introduced by the words "It happened" (מעשה) or "Once on a time" (פעם אחת). The midrash is sometimes interspersed with very beautiful prayers (see, for example, M. Friedmann, l.c. pp. 6, 18, 19, 28).
The Tanna debe Eliyahu is the only haggadic work which contains a rabbinic-karaitic polemic. In the second chapter of the second part is an account of a meeting of the author with a Karaite, who possesses a knowledge of Jewish Scripture, but not of the Mishnah; the differences discussed, however, are not important. The polemical attitude is much more noticeable in ch. xv. of the first part. There the following points are treated in detail:
Unlike other polemics, this one is not couched in acrimonious terms, but it adopts a mild, conciliatory tone.
Furthermore, the fact that he knew nothing of Babylonia beyond its name shows that he could not have been a native of that region. Derenbourg also places the origin of the work in Rome. H. Grätz goes farthest of all, by simply identifying the Babylon of the midrash with Rome, and the fights of Gog and Magog described in the work with the devastating invasion of the Hungarians into Italy from 889 to 955. The most radical opponent of this view is M. Friedmann. For him all arguments concerning the age of the Tanna debe Eliyahu and against its identification with the "Seder Eliyahu" mentioned in Ket. 10b, are only superficial and only apparently sound; and he accordingly assigns the origin of the work "eo ipso" to Babylonia.
The age of the midrash is approximately ascertainable by three data contained in the book itself.
The passages in the Talmud cited in Tanna debe Eliyahu are: Shab. 13a; Pes. 94a, 112a; Meg. 28b; Ḳid. 80b; Ab. Zarah 5b, 9a; Sanh. 92a; Tamid 32a.
Those cited in the Talmud under "Tanu Rabbanan" and found also in this midrash are: Shab. 88b and Giṭ. 36b = Tanna debe Eliyahu (ed. Friedmann), p. 78; Pes. 49a = ib. p. 30; Pes. 49a = ib. p. 68; Suk. 52a = ib. p. 20; R. H. 18a = ib. p. 53; Meg. 14a = ib. p. 82; Ḳid. 82a = ib. p. 101; B. Ḳ. 97b = ib. p. 21; B. B. 90b = ib. p. 77; B. B. 147a = ib. p. 157; Sanh. 19a = ib. p. 147; Sanh. 43b = ib. p. 102; Sanh. 109a = ib. p. 168; Sheb. 39a = ib. p. 132; Yeb. 62b = ib. p. 78.
Furthermore, in this midrash are found sentences of the following amoraim: Johanan, Joshua ben Levi, R. Abbahu, and Eleazar.
The following editions are specially to be recommended, namely: that by Jacob ben Naphtali Herz of Brody, with a commentary, Yeshu'at Ya'aḳob (Zolkiev, 1798); that by Abraham ben Judah Löb Schick, with the commentary Me'ore Esh (Sidlkov, 1835); that by Isaac Elijah ben Samuel Landau, with a commentary, Ma'aneh Eliyahu (Wilna, 1840). Among the best editions is the Warsaw one of 1880 containing both texts. The latest edition (prior to 1906) appeared in Vienna in 1900 and 1903, under the titles Seder Eliyahu Rabbah and Seder Eliyahu Zuṭa, after a Vatican manuscript of the year 1073, critically revised, and with a commentary entitled Me'ir 'Ayin, and a voluminous introduction by M. Friedmann. In this edition Seder Eliyahu Zuṭa is divided into 15 chapters.

Is it me or do cats stare at you like you're an idiot?
My last month on Match. I don't regret it. I gave it an honest try and met some people and I'm walking out never more sure that the dating world is messed up! Our profiles look exactly the same- "I'm a nice guy who goes to the gym 5 times an hour. I'll treat you right but I'll forget to call the morning after". "I'm a simple woman and tired of the casual scene but I habitually look for guys who aren't serious". This dating world is baffling but it will never make me bitter. I will hold a door open and offer my seat on a bus for a woman and not expect something in return. I will remind any guy that just because she turns you down, it doesn't mean you're any less of a person. One month left so what stands out to me: Smiles in your profile is a huge plus. Duck face is an instant skip although I apologize for all the selfies. Asking someone to take a picture for a dating website comes with a ton of questions. Omnivorous diet is desired but not required. Oh you like the gym? We'll get along great! It's fantasy football season. I apologize in advance. Go Patriots, Go Falcons!

I am absolutely amazed that more doctors do not treat at least some of their arthritis patient with antibiotics because there are hundreds of papers showing that hundreds of different infections cause arthritis. Doctors do not have laboratory tests to diagnose many of the germs that cause arthritis. Failure to treat arthritis early can cause permanent cartilaginous damage so that no treatment can be effective later. The most common cause of arthritis, particularly in people under 50, is reactive arthritis that often follows an infection.
If you develop sudden unexplained pain in one or more joints, your doctor should check you for an infection. You should be asked if you have a urinary tract infection: burning on urination, discomfort when your bladder is full, a feeling that you have to urinate all the time, getting up in the middle of the night to urinate. Check for a stomach infection: belching and burning in stomach or chest. Check for a lung infection: chronic cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, burning in your nose or soreness in your throat. Check for intestinal infection: diarrhea, belly cramps or blood in stool. Also check for gum disease, chronic stuffy nose, chills or fever.
The following can cause reactive arthritis: Salmonella intestinal infection (1), mononucleosis (2,21,25), parvovirus, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C) virus infections (3), Retroviruses (4,5). Venereal diseases, such as chlamydia, mycoplasma, ureaplasma, gonorrhea and Gardnerella cause arthritis (6,7,8), mycoplasma (9), Human T Cell Leukemia Virus-1 (10,33), chlamydia (11,15,16,17,18,24,34), urinary infections with chlamydia, ureaplasma and mycoplasma (12,26,27,39), many different intestinal infections (13,35,41,42,43,44,45,46), ureaplasma (14,27), Lyme disease (19,23), Salmonella diarrhea (20), parvovirus B19 (22,36), cytomegalovirus (25,26,32), streptococcal sore throat (28), cat scratch disease (29), human herpes virus-6 (30), hemophilus influenza bacteria (31), AIDS (HIV) (33), hepatitis B and C (36). staph aureus bacterial infections (37,38). Additional references are provided below.
I treat my reactive arthritis patients with Minocycline 100 mg twice a day, but this must still be considered experimental; many doctors are not yet ready to accept antibiotics as a treatment for reactive arthritis. Many patients with rheumatoid arthritis do not feel better for the first few months after they start taking minocycline. If a patient does nor feel better after taking 100 mg of minocycline twice day for 2 months, I add Zithromax 500 mg twice a week. If the patient does not feel better after taking the two antibiotics for 6 months, I do add the immune suppressants that most rheumatologists prescribe. But as soon as they feel better, I stop the immune suppressants and continue the antibiotics. The treatment of reactive arthritis with antibiotics is controversial and not accepted by many doctors; discuss this with your doctor.
