There has been a recent and evolving media blitz concerning the potential use of medical marijuana (tetrahydrocannabinol, THC) in Parkinson's disease patients. All of the attention to marijuana has been largely a result of multiple states passing legislation to legalize and to regulate the drug; or to alternatively make it available for select medical diagnoses. In this month's National Parkinson Foundation What's Hot in Parkinson's Disease column, I will review the current state of the research into medical marijuana for Parkinson's disease.
A recent report from the guideline development subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) tackled the evidence-base supporting the use of marijuana for neurological disorders. Spasticity, central pain syndromes and bladder dysfunction (disorders not including Parkinson's disease) seemed to be improved with marijuana use. The few available studies revealed that marijuana was not helpful in Parkinson's disease related tremor or levodopa-induced dyskinesias. The report was careful to outline the risks and the benefits of medical marijuana, and it recommended education and counseling for anyone considering this option. The risk of serious psychopathologic effects (hallucinations, etc.) was cited to be about 1%.
In addition to the AAN report, there have been a few recent papers supporting the use of marijuana for specific Parkinson's disease symptoms (motor, mood, quality of life, sleep), however all have suffered from methodological issues such as including small numbers of patients, and not including a proper control group. Katerina Venderova in 2004 (Movement Disorders Journal) conducted a survey of Parkinson's disease patients on marijuana (cannabis) and reported that "39 patients (45.9%) described mild or substantial alleviation of their PD symptoms in general, 26 (30.6%) showed improvement of rest tremor, 38 (44.7%) had improvement in bradykinesia, 32 (37.7%) had alleviation of muscle rigidity, and 12 (14.1%) had improvement of L-dopa-induced dyskinesias. Only 4 patients in this survey (4.7%) reported that cannabis actually worsened their symptoms. Patients using cannabis for at least 3 months reported significantly more alleviation of their Parkinson's disease symptoms in general." Like Venderova who conducted her survey in Prague, we have also had Parkinson's disease patients phone us at the free 18004PDINFO National Parkinson Foundation hotline, and detail personal experiences and positive stories supportive of marijuana in Parkinson's disease. Collectively, the problem with all of these types of personal reports has been the lack of scientific rigor necessary to truly understand the effects of marijuana on Parkinson's disease.
In a recent review in the New England Journal of Medicine, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Director Dr. Nora Volkow carefully outlined the adverse health effects of marijuana use. In her article Dr. Volkow pointed out that marijuana, which is thought of by much of the public as a completely harmless drug, can have serious adverse effects. She makes the following important points:
Scientifically it is not crazy to think that marijuana may play some positive role in the alleviation of Parkinson's disease symptoms. There are cannabinoid (THC) receptors all over the brain, and these receptors seem to be concentrated in a region important to Parkinson's disease, commonly referred to as the basal ganglia. In fact, the globus pallidus and the substantia nigra pars reticulata, which are structures within the basal ganglia, are some of the most densely packed cannabinoid (THC) receptor areas in the human body. It is therefore not beyond reason to think that a drug directed at these receptors might positively influence the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Indeed, many drug companies remain interested in compounds influencing these receptors.
What is the bottom line for information that a person with Parkinson's disease will need to know if considering medical marijuana. Marijuana should never be thought of as a replacement for dopaminergic and other approved therapies for Parkinson's disease. Second, though most available large studies have not shown a benefit, that does not mean that there will not be a benefit. Much more research will be needed to understand which patients, which symptoms, and how best to safely administer medical marijuana in Parkinson's disease, especially over the long-term. It may turn out that non-motor features such as depression, anxiety, and pain respond best, but studies are desperately needed to sort this out. Parkinson's disease patients living in states where marijuana has been legalized for medical use should be aware of the dangers outlined by Dr. Volkow, particularly the effects on the lungs, the dangers of driving, and accidental overdoses (particularly with food items). Finally, states will need to develop training programs for doctors and medical teams prescribing marijuana, so that the Parkinson's disease patient on medical marijuana can be kept as safe as possible.

2 killed in Oklahoma boat crash were UA students
Posted: May 15, 2013 at 9:39 a.m.
Updated: May 15, 2013 at 11:45 a.m.
LANGLEY, Okla. — Authorities say two people were killed after a ski boat crashed into a parked houseboat on a northeast Oklahoma lake.
Authorities identified the victims as Rachel Nichole Swetnam of Grove and William Lewis Varner III of Texarkana, Ark. Both are listed as students at the University of Arkansas in the campus directory.
Officials say Swetnam was set to graduate next year while Varner was a junior studying marketing.
Swetnam was Miss Teen Oklahoma in 2010.
The Grand River Dam Authority says the collision happened Tuesday afternoon on Grand Lake. Spokesman Justin Alberty says the ski boat was carrying eight people when it collided with the empty houseboat that was docked in Duck Creek.
Alberty says two people in the front of the ski boat were killed. Four others were taken to a hospital in Vinita.
GRDA Assistant General Manager Brian Edwards tells Tulsa television station KOTV (http://bit.ly/100CGjn ) that the ski boat was traveling fast, causing a "substantial, violent impact."

"USS Lake Champlain CG 57 was laid down March 3rd, 1986 at Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagula, Mississipi and commissioned a little over two years later. Always a West Coast Ship, she sailed soon after her commissioning ceremony for San Diego, testing her mettle against the furious seas of the Straits of Magellan. She has deployed to the Western Pacific ten times, including operations in support of Desert Shield, Desert Storm, enforcing the no-fly zone over Iraq, and recently in support of the global war on terror.
Armed with Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles, Standard SM-2 Surface to Air Missiles, two 5 inch Dual Purpose Guns, and two SH-60 Seahawk helicopters, LAKE CHAMPLAIN is a truly modern battle machine – but is little more than welded steel and microchips without her crew of over 350."

As legions of hard rockers, metalheads and punks have decided to enter parenthood, rock shows (for some) have become family affairs, and it's not uncommon to see parents bring their kids to concerts. There are still some folks that take issue with exposing young children to music containing crude language, and one Florida dad is learning this the hard way after he posted a video to YouTube of his 9 year-old daughter on stage with Five Finger Death Punch. The video above shows Mark Douglas's daughter, Olivia, on stage with FFDP's Ivan Moody, who's trying to get the young girl to sing the lyrics to "Burn Motherf*cker." Olivia doesn't sing along, but she does look visibly uncomfortable. Perhaps, she didn't want to be on stage in front of thousands of people or doesn't want Moody's undoubtedly sweaty arm around her. We don't know for sure… But what we do know is that local CBS affiliate WINK was outraged by the video, and in their news piece, they included various talking heads saying what Douglas did was "abuse." From the WINK video, it sounds like Douglas adores his little girl and would never put her into a dangerous situation, but people look at these situations from very different perspectives. I'm thinking it could've been worse. They could've been at a Justin Bieber show.What's your take on this? Abuse? Or Not?

I want to copy a logical member to a new member with duplicate contents,

outside the job stream. I do not have source code for the old logical
member. I was looking for something like CPYLFM.
A job stream, of a ton of programs, creates a logical file member.
Various programs access it via OVRDBF, they populate its physical records,
update them, use them, in the job stream, leave the physical data in
clear the logical member, and delete the overrides.
I want to leave the job stream as is, except before the clearing, copy the
logical member to a new member with identical contents, but different
to use in new programs to be tested and tweaked outside the job stream.
Is that doable?

You should try to get Mountain Lion, I'm sure driver support will be better.
What Rudy said - You might want to try asking over at tonymacx86.com - I'm sure you would get more help over there as there are a few uptight people on Neowin who don't like this kind of stuff. Not that it's bad or anything I have my own Hackintosh but people tend to stay away from these threads
This is where you'll get the kexts (drivers) for Hackintosh :

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
Expanded public transportation would be good for the city
Dec 10, 2013 - Rouven Hoelzein, Riverton
Riverton needs some more public transportation. I think that increased public transportation in the form of a larger bus line with more service would greatly increase the ability of many people to get around in town, including teens who cannot drive yet, or afford a car.
In Germany, where I am from, we have a very good public transportation system that allows for many people to get to work, shop, and travel between cities and towns. In Germany, I live in a suburb 3 miles away from the city of 80,000 people. There are only 2,000 people living in this suburb, but we are able to get a bus every half hour, which allows people from all walks of life access to shopping, dining, entertainment and education.
An expanded, dedicated bus line that connects the most important places of Riverton, including CWC, downtown, and the edge of town shopping on North Federal, would allow many more people to access these places regularly.
I know Riverton does have some public transportation available, including the senior citizen bus, WRTA shuttle to and from Lander, and some taxi service. However, these are limited in service areas and times that they run. Public transportation is statistically proven to be efficient and safe. Furthermore, as Riverton continues to develop, it would allow a growing population access to all that the city has to offer.
I understand that financing a bus line has the potential to be very costly initially and that the public might be reluctant to put money in a project like this. Long-term, though, a public transportation system has the potential of saving the people of Riverton money on gasoline, less congested streets and parking, and less associated repair on streets. It could create jobs, and it could make Riverton more enticing for newcomers and visitors alike.
Also, it actually might boost the local economy, as more people might have more regular access to shopping. It might even be possible to use the existing school buses toward this end. I would be interested in knowing where the citizens of Riverton stand on this issue.

Dallas My Boy

Here are some pics of me riding Dallas bareback. (I know I have my hands to low.)
Also, I included some pics of the thoroughbred gelding the BO just got off the track for free. Kind of jealous. He's a beautiful boy.
Dallas is so thick and cuddly. <3 Is he the one you got from an auction, or am I thinking of someone else? In any case he looks like an awesome horse. And that tb is not so bad-looking himself.
Yep, I got Dallas at an auction. Thank you : )
Very cutee!!!
dallas is super handsome. that is a nice tb especially for free lol
There are four more at Beulah Park that need homes. The place I'm moving into has three stalls and I only have two horses....... The landlord even says that the grass stays down better with three horses on it. lol
Dallas is a handsome boy! Very pretty coloring!
I'm jealous of your BO as well... nice free horse!

Alan McGlade learned about new media from the executive side of the equation. Now he's become an investor. Digital Entertainment Ventures
A veteran media executive has paired with a venture capitalist to form a new firm aimed at funding digital-media startups in New York.
Alan McGlade, the former chief executive of MediaNet, and Michael Yang, an attorney and venture capitalist, announced today they have launched Digital Entertainment Ventures, or DEV.
The firm, based in New York, will help build companies in gaming, music, film, publishing, and social media.
The massive upheaval on the media landscape that has shredded newspaper and book publishing, crashed into music, and disrupted the flow of films and television is going to accelerate and create opportunities for brand-new companies, McGlade told Portfolio.com.
That makes the industry a great place for a venture capitalist to focus.
"It's crystal clear now if it wasn't a few years ago that media and entertainment is undergoing a massive change,†he said. "We're looking for companies that have done something transformational.â€
And New York is at the heart of that change because it's both the media capital of the world and a rising technology powerhouse, providing a mix of old-media hands used to running billion-dollar businesses and talented, tech-savvy young entrepreneurs.
McGlade writes in a blog post:
It is difficult to overstate the radical transformation that is underway in the entertainment and media industries. Music, film, TV, videogames, newspapers and magazines have all been profoundly affected by the explosion of new devices that enable the consumption of digital media.
We are in a period of concentrated change and innovation, a period that New York City and DEV stand to play a strong role in.

Hummingbird bathing in a fountain — BEAUTIFUL & FUNNY!
Hummingbird bathing in fountain by Gayle Hasley, Concord, Calif.
Dear Gary:
It's a beautiful day in paradise — my tiny 12' x 20' garden on the second highest density street in Concord.
It is filled this morning with titmice, doves, goldfinches, chickadees, hummingbirds and a huge Cooper's hawk floating overhead, searching for things for their nest just 5 big trees away. All of the birds love the fountain in the garden and they come to drink and bath … but it is the hummers who take visible joy in it.

Missouri: Botanical Garden
The Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, which opened to the public in 1859, is a National Historic Landmark and home to one of the world's leading programs in botanical research.
While you're there, don't miss the Climatron conservatory, an amazing geodesic-domed greenhouse that stretches over half an acre. It encloses a living tropical rain forest complete with waterfalls and exotic plants. Here you can view more than 1,100 species of plants, including banana trees, cacao trees, coffee trees, the rare double coconut tree (which has the largest seed in the plant kingdom), and a fabulous collection of orchids.
You can also visit one of the oldest continuously operating greenhouse conservatories in the country. There you'll find a beautiful collection of camellias, the largest Japanese strolling garden in North America, and an English woodland garden with quiet paths of wildflowers and dogwoods. If you get weary of walking, there are trams offering narrated tours of the grounds.
Missouri Botanical Garden, 4344 Shaw Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63110. For information: 800-642-8842, mobot.org. Open daily. The garden is closed Christmas day.
New York: The New York Botanical Garden
After you step onto the grounds of the 250-acre New York Botanical Garden, just 14 miles from midtown Manhattan, you will quickly see why this breathtaking garden has won numerous awards.
A mandatory first stop is the spectacular Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden. Its 2,700 rose plants, in hundreds of varieties, make this a colorful and sweet-smelling retreat indeed. While the rose garden is at its peak in June and again in September, it's also a lovely spot to visit in midsummer.
After leaving the rose garden, you can stroll along the Bronx River to view the waterfall and relax in a 40-acre forest. Then step inside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, a glass building with 11 galleries. Here you'll wander through re-created tropical rain forests, deserts of the Americas and Africa, and an aquatic gallery of water plants. My family and I spent the better part of one snowy February afternoon in this warm, sunny spot. It was the next best thing to visiting the Caribbean.
A favorite with my children is the Everett Children's Adventure Garden. It's a 12-acre site with 40 hands-on activities where kids can learn about plant science.
The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx River Parkway at Fordham Road, Bronx, NY 10458. For information: 718-817-8700, nybg.org. Open year-round, Tuesday through Sunday. Closed Monday, except federal holidays. Closed Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Pennsylvania: Longwood Gardens
One of the most impressive horticultural displays anywhere is Longwood Gardens. Situated in Pennsylvania about 30 miles west of Philadelphia, it was created by industrialist Pierre S. du Pont and is sometimes referred to as the du Pont Gardens.
The gardens have 1,050 acres of meadows, woodlands, and spectacular fountains, which shoot up from manicured gardens filled with seasonal flowers. You can also visit its 20 indoor gardens and choose from as many as 800 horticultural and performing arts events each year, such as the chrysanthemum festival, held every fall.
The best way to enjoy Longwood Gardens is to walk through it slowly, so wear comfortable shoes and plan to spend the better part of a day. The must-see sites are the Topiary Garden — where evergreen shrubs are clipped into the shapes of a table and chair, as well as cones, cubes, and spirals — and the two rose gardens.
Longwood Gardens, U.S. Route 1, Kennett Square, PA 19348. For information: 610-388-1000, longwoodgardens.org. Open daily year-round and many evenings.
South Carolina: Brookgreen Gardens
About 20 minutes south of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is the world's largest outdoor figurative sculpture garden, an enchanting place called Brookgreen Gardens.
Situated in the middle of a 9,100-acre nature preserve on the South Carolina coast, Brookgreen is home to more than 550 pieces of sculpture by American artists, plus a plant collection of about 2,000 species and subspecies from the southeastern United States.
Everyone seems to have a favorite section. When we visited Brookgreen, my kids enjoyed it so much they begged us to go back. They especially loved the Children's Garden, a kid-scale version that features a butterfly house, sunflower garden, and pool with fountains. For the first-time visitor, however, the must-see event is its expansive Southern garden of live oak and pine, myrtle, and gardenias.
Brookgreen Gardens, 1931 Brookgreen Drive, Murrells Inlet, SC 29576. For information: 800-849-1931, Ext. 6001, brookgreen.org. Open year-round. Closed Christmas day.
Washington, D.C.: Dumbarton Oaks Gardens
When you feel like getting away from the hectic pace of the nation's capital, Dumbarton Oaks Gardens in Georgetown is a soothing side trip. Although it was originally a private garden, this serene oasis, with 10 acres of formal gardens, is open to the public every afternoon.
Designed by the noted landscape gardener Beatrix Farrand, it incorporates elements of traditional European gardens. You will find nearly 1,000 roses planted in the Rose Garden, and at the Fountain Terrace there's a huge English beech that was planted in 1800s, along with colorful borders of seasonal flowers.
If you're there in late September, make sure to see the chrysanthemums, and in mid-March through April, enjoy the cherry trees, azaleas, dogwood, lilacs, and forsythia, which will be in full bloom.
Dumbarton Oaks Gardens, 1703 32nd St. NW, Washington, DC 20007. For information: 202-339-6401, doaks.org. Open Tuesday through Sunday. Closed during inclement weather, Christmas Eve, and federal holidays.

Here's some advice to last-minute Christmas shoppers: Be on the lookout for Grinches who would like to make off with your holiday presents.
This is a busy week for crooks who prey on distracted shoppers who fail to lock the doors and windows of their cars or their homes. The National Crime Prevention Council says nearly 60 percent of all burglaries reported this season will show no sign of forced entry.
There are steps homeowners can take to make sure their Christmas is not spoiled by a thieving Grinch. The National Citizens Crime Prevention Campaign suggests taking a home inventory, complete with photographs and serial numbers of all valuable items.
If you're going out for the evening, be sure to turn on lights and a radio or television so it looks like someone is home. And if you will be traveling for the holidays, get an automatic timer for your lights. Have your mail and newspaper delivery stopped and ask a neighbor to watch your home while you are away.
The NCCPC also advises shoppers take extra precautions during the holidays. It's OK to enjoy the Christmas decorations and merchandise, but remember to stay alert to what is going on around you.
Always lock your car doors and never leave packages visible through car windows. Your best bet is to lock all packages in the trunk.
Holiday shoppers should avoid carrying large amounts of cash and pay for merchandise with checks or credit cards as much as possible. Take only the amount of cash you will need in a purse or wallet, and keep a tight hold on it.
And remember, one of the best ways to keep the thieves away this holiday season is to lock all doors and windows before leaving your home.

Jasper Johns called Duchamp's Etant Donnes, a sculptural installation of a naked, lifelike female limply sprawled against a lush woodland landscape, "the strangest work of art shown in any museum." Visible only through a peephole in a brick-rimmed wooden door, it has been variously understood as a send-up of nude-in-landscape voyeurism, a reference to the Black Dahlia murder (generally discredited), and a tribute to Duchamp's mistress of the time, the Brazilian sculptor Maria Martins. It has been the subject of countless artistic reinterpretations and intertextual commentaries, including Hannah Wilke's deconstructive performance video Through the Large Glass (1976) and Marcel Dzama's phantasmagorical reimagining, Even the Ghost of The Past (2008).
The Brooklyn and Ohio-based artist T.R. Ericsson's entree into this tradition, Etant Donnes 2, may appear more literal-minded than its predecessors. In an exhibition shown recently at the Francis Naumann gallery, Ericsson displayed black and white photos taken of his unclothed wife posed like Etant's prone nude. The deep reported bond between the married couple, and the tender care Ericcson took in the arrangement of the scene, are together offered as a strong editorial on the original: it was really all about love.
While this message seems to simplify Duchamp's queasy, overdetermined riddle more than desired, there is also much more going on in Ericsson's creation than meets the eye. For instance, by applying scrupulous photorealism, Ericsson first calls attention to the uncharacteristic opticality of Duchamp's creation. Yet then he plays a very Duchamp-like trick: because of his elaborate manual silkscreening technique, his works turn out to be "more accurately referred to as drawings," as the gallerist writes.

Running Scared 2006 HDDVD 1080p x264 DTS-NiX
Halleluja guys! First 1080p movie here on rlslog, and I must say: quality is FINE. I watched this movie myself and I really enjoyed watching it. The storyline is good and the acting is pretty nice too, that's probarbly also the reason that it's getting a 7,5 out of over 20,000 votes on IMDB. Take a look yourself, i'd say
Joey Gazelle (Paul Walker) is a low level mob flanker who gets told to dispose of a gun used for killing some dirty cops. Joey however, hides the gun in the drywall of his basement instead of tossing them in the river. When Joey's 10 year-old son (Alex Neuberger) and his best friend, Oleg (Cameron Bright), witness Joey hiding some guns from a botched drug deal, Oleg steals the gun — a snub-nosed .38 — and shoots his abusive stepfather (Karel Roden) with it. Things would be bad enough if the stepfather didn't happen to be the nephew of a psychotic Russian mob boss (John Noble)… who happens to be in business with Joey's crew on a gasoline scam. But now Joey's also got the surviving dirty cop (Chazz Palminteri) from the botched drug deal on his case… and that hot .38 out there on the street, changing hands in an underworld of freaks, pimps, hookers and pedophiles. As well as Oleg, who can connect Joey to the gun. And even if Joey can make it through the night, he's still got to answer to his wife (Vera Farmiga)…

Tips & Tricks
Echo or Side Tone Problems
If you have ever encountered an echo or loud feedback in your headset, it is probably due to a mismatch between the headset ear piece volume and the microphone volume. With these two parts of the headset so close together, sometimes one over powers the other and creates a uncomfortable sound for the headset user. This is directly related to the sound volume of the headset and phone. In most cases, just by reducing the PHONE volume, this distracting sound will minimize or go away completely.
Read More »
Plantronics CS70N system reset:
Simultaneously press the call control button and the "+" and "-" volume buttons for approximately 5 seconds. When the talk indicator light on the headset blinks, release all the buttons. Press the call control button again. The talk indicator light blinks briefly to indicate the headset is back to normal operation mode. Disconnect the AC power supply from the base for 5 seconds. Reconnect the AC power supply. The system reset is complete.

BIO: Gregory Conley joined the Heartland Institute in February of 2014 as a research fellow in the areas of tobacco and nicotine policy and regulation. Prior to joining Heartland, Conley served as the volunteer legislative director for the Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (CASAA), the largest consumer group representing the interests of users of smoke-free tobacco and nicotine products. There, he led grassroots efforts aimed at defeating legislation that aimed to make low-risk alternatives to smoking like electronic cigarettes and smokeless tobacco less accessible or affordable. His interest in the field of tobacco harm reduction (THR) began after he quit smoking with an e-cigarette in August 2010. Conley has given testimony before the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, as well as committees in numerous state legislatures. His work has appeared in several outlets, including the New York Post, National Review Online, Reason Online, and Convenience Store Decisions.

One of the main goals of every Vaping Convention Circuit (VCC) event is to have an advocacy aspect. VCCNE2014 will unveil a new concept to step this idea up a notch: THR Advocacy Row. An entire row of booths at VCC events dedicated to tobacco harm reduction advocacy. VCC has offered a gratis booth to VISTA Truth Inc. (www.vistatruth.org), the American Vaping Association (AVA – www.vaping.info), CASAA (www.casaa.org), and The Vaping Militia (www.thevapingmilitia.org), the American E-Liquid Manufacturing Standards Association (AEMSA – www.aemsa.org), and the Smoke-Free Alternatives Trade Association (SFATA – www.sfata.org). These organizations will be in attendance; there is no way we will win the fight for our rights without cooperation across the board.
Visit their booths at VCCNE2014, speak to their representatives, learn what they do for our industry and what you can do to help. United we stand; divided we fall.
(Note: None of the organizations listed promote or support VCC or VCC events. They are attending as special guests strictly to inform attendees about THR advocacy)

May 14, 2014: I spoke with the representative from the Sheraton, the hotel where we have blocked off rooms for VCCNE2014 (NOT WHERE THE EVENT IS BEING HELD) to verify which type of smoke detectors they have in their guest rooms. After consulting with their engineering department, she was advised they are photostatic smoke detectors, which means they will be set off if there is too much vapor (or anything else obstructing the built in sensors). Vaping is allowed in the rooms and hotel, but too many people congregating in one guest room, all vaping at the same time, MAY CAUSE THE ALARMS TO BE SET OFF. Even though the event is NOT being held at the hotel, VCC has secured a larger conference room for after hours in the hotel (adjoining the hotel bar) for people to congregate if they desire. Please let others know that will be attending…I do not want this to be a surprise at the time of the event. I do not know the policy of other hotels in the area, you will have to check with them when booking. -Kevin Skipper

**VENDORS** VCCNE2014 will have a BEST BOOTH contest…criteria will be 1) the display itself (creativity, look, etc.), 2) quality of vape gear and/or e-liquid selection offered, and 3) customer service. The Grand Prize winner (to be announced Sunday June 29, 2014 in the afternoon/evening) will have their booth fee (or booth fee equivalent for one booth space if a sponsor) refunded!! Bring your 'A game', let's see some awesome displays!

Devin McGlamery joined EHSS as lead singer in December 2009, following a five-year career as lead and tenor for southern gospel's Grammy-nominated Karen Peck & New River. Before KPNR, Devin spent five years with the Dixie Melody Boys, another popular gospel group he started touring with when he was just 17.
"To say I'm excited about being with Signature Sound is an understatement," said Devin. "Ernie and I have been great friends for years. I've always had a lot of admiration for him as a singer and as a person. Words cannot express how wonderful I feel about this opportunity for my career and my family." A native of Valdosta, Georgia, Devin is 27 and lives in Kinston, North Carolina, with his wife, Karen Ham McGlamery, and their children, Karlyn and Preston.
Before he was 10, Devin knew he wanted to be a gospel singer and Grammy winner. During his formative years, he followed a simple rule: accept any and every opportunity to sing. And so, he performed as often as possible in local churches and festivals, and in local concerts. "As you're finding your voice and your niche, I always say, no matter what, whenever you get an opportunity to sing, sing," said Devin. "You never know who is going to be in the audience."
To his very point, one day at age 11, Devin was performing at an event outside of Mathis City Auditorium in Valdosta. In the audience was the promoter of a large gospel group who was wowed by the young super-talent. Sure enough, Devin got signed.
During that stretch, he shared the stage with many gospel stars. He traveled and performed and also managed to keep up with his studies. Near the end of his senior year at Valdosta's Open Bible Christian School, he heard about an opening with the Dixie Melody Boys.
Devin's mom, Sandra McGlamery, stayed up late preparing his resume. The next day, his dad, Don, attempted to fax the resume to the gospel group. But their fax wasn't working and one of the Dixie Melody Boys answered the phone instead. Don said he had the group's next singer.
Devin had already met the Dixie Melody Boys at one of their shows, but wasn't relying on that encounter to be remembered by the group, given how many fans and budding artists they meet on the road every year. The Boys could have easily discounted Don's potential bias about his son's vocal ability, but they agreed to meet him. They loved what they heard, and signed him.
Devin finished his last two weeks of school and, shortly after graduation, moved to the Dixie Melody Boys' home state of North Carolina and started traveling the country with them... blossoming as a young professional gospel singer and as an individual.

WHITLEY COUNTY — Whitley County residents are becoming all-too-familiar with the terms "Level 1 Snow Emergency" and "Travel Warning" as Monday was nearly a Deja-Vu of three weeks ago, when the county was at a stand-still after Winter Storm Ion.
Winter Storm Ion dropped 16.2 inches of snow to the area Jan. 5, along with sub-zero temperatures and substantial travel impairment.
Though the area received less than 5 inches of snow during the weekend, 35-mile-per-hour winds have created drifts as high as 6 feet tall in some areas — on top of the snow that hasn't yet melted from Winter Storm Ion.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - No city flood-recovery project has been tougher to get built than the replacement for the flood-ruined Time Check Recreation Center.
Once again on Friday, the city's Site Selection Task Force which includes a majority of the City Council said it wants to build the $3-million replacement center in nearly the same spot as the former center had been in Time-Check Park.
Building on the site will require the City Council to do what in past years it said it didn't want to do: spend public money under its control to build in the 100-year flood plain. No one on the task force expressed any concern about that on Friday.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency must still sign off on building on the site.
Julie Sina, the city's parks and recreation director, noted that FEMA rules will require that the new center be built one foot above the 100-year flood level, which Sina said would require an elevation of three to four feet from the existing ground level. Floodwaters reached to about 14 feet at the site in 2008.
Sina said construction hopefully can start on the project early in 2013 with the new center ready to open in the winter of 2013-2014.
City Council and task force member Monica Vernon noted on Friday that the latest plan for the northwest Cedar Rapids recreation center had been to put it right on Ellis Boulevard NW in a visible spot that would help attract commercial development to the busy street.
That plan, though, has fallen apart because of federal and state rules, which the city had agreed to after the flood, that restrict building on newly vacant land on which federal funds were used to buy out and demolish property.
The site in Time-Check Park, two blocks east of Ellis Boulevard NW, is available for the recreation center, if FEMA approves, because the park land was owned by the city before the flood.
Vernon noted that the site plan for the recreation center now features park land extending from Ellis Boulevard to the proposed site of the recreation center in Time-Check Park, which will help let people know that the recreation center is almost on the boulevard.
Linda Seger, a task force member and president of the Northwest Neighbors Neighborhood Association, said she and others had wanted the recreation center on Ellis, but getting it built was much more important now, she said.
The city continues to negotiate with the Iowa Economic Development Authority to try to get the state agency to permit the building of the recreation center on the buyout lots on Ellis Boulevard NW. If the state agency gives approval in upcoming weeks, the recreation center might yet move there.
A previous council had decided to build the recreation center on high ground in Ellis Park near the Time Check and Harrison Elementary School neighborhoods. However, some residents near the park and some in the neighborhoods objected, and the current council, with two new members, changed directions.

So seams like this new one is build 4 internally. Last one was only build 1.
Also the boot.img kernal is different although I need someone to rebuild it as it is currently too big in size and won't flash with fastboot, so can someone look at it.
The boot.img dump is here - http://android.modac...t...st&id=66626
And the system files are here - system-dump.tar.gz http://www.mediafire...2u9d2kvl37i7sad

Linux Terminal Server Project
LTSP: Raiders of the Lost Mainframe
In the beginning there were only the mainframes. Administration only
required configuration of one system. Users accessed the mainframe from
dumb terminals. Everyone had access to the same resources and had the same
software, because everyone was on the same system. Then came the personal
computer. Users all got their own systems, and system administration
became exponentially more difficult. LTSP gives us a way to get the
terminal server, singular administration and control we admins want and
still give users the warm fuzzy interface, speed and freedom they want.
One system, one set of updates, one place to make changes. We're going to
look in to some of the history of LTSP, overview the technology involved,
and some of the many potential applications. Finally we'll look at the
best way to implement LTSP, and how its working in production in our
corporate environment.

i have more interest in marketing line than BCA. so i switched to MBA .
hi.......switching to MBA(systems) after BCA is a good option if u like both technology with management skills.but if u like IT then MCA is good option.MBA is 2yrs course then 3yrs of MCA.why waste one year doing MCA if u DON'T like programming.Even u will get better job opportunities after doing MBA.contact:email@example.com
initially i m intrested in doing B.C.A.because i have intreset in computer field but now i want to help may father in his business and parallel i want to make my identity in society...and if i want tomore money then M.B.A is only good option for me. thats why i want to do M.B.A
Because in MBA we can understand Account based Works, and in BCA we can solve all computer related hardware and software works.
An MBA gives an extra edge in my future career. It is a study which focus on our personality development,which helps us not only improve our career,also other aspect too.
the answer to this ques. can be thati have done bca to enhance my technical skills which woud further help me in mba
since the trend is , company asking for the managers who have some knowledge about the tech field to manage efficiently. so bca+mba wold be better choice in my opinion.
initially after completing my 12th i thought that i should go for a technical field and finally i decided to go for BCA.but after the completion of BCA i come to know that it is not of my interest and i have interest in management type of field but it was also not waste of time because when we go for interviews they must ask about our computer knowledge which i had already gained.so doing mba after bca is beneficial.

Corbin falls for 97 against Guyana
Cave Hill, Barbados – Kyle Corbin narrowly missed his second century of the season as he led a spirited fightback for Combined Campuses & Colleges against Guyana on Friday at 3Ws Oval.
The 20-year-old right-hander stroked 96, an innings that formed the foundation of CC&C's 251 on the first day of their WICB First-Class Tournament match against Guyana. At the close, Guyana were 11-1.
CC&C recovered from losing captain Omar Phillips to the first ball of the day – bowled by Brandon Bess – to post a respectable total.
Corbin, who has already struck a century and four half-centuries this season, was in exceptional form again. Ha faced just 134 balls and 198 minutes and hit the ball to all parts of the ground. He played boldly to hit 10 fours and four sixes, to move his runs rally for the season to 495.
He came in with CC&C tottering at 3-2 after Romel Currency slashed fast bowler Rensford Beaton (2-25) to Assad Fudadin at third slip, to depart without scoring. Corbin added 41 for the third wicket with Shacoya Thomas (10) before posting another 72 for the fourth wicket with veteran left-hander Floyd Reifer (37).
His ambition got the better of him, however, as he holed out to Brandon Bess at long-on off left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul (3-58), with a century within his reach.
CC&C then lost their way to slip to 179-8 before Kevin McClean (52 not out) and Ryan Austin (20), provided a late innings flourish with a 71-run, ninth wicket stand. Medium pacer Assad Fudadin finished with the best figures of 4-42.SCOREBOARD CCC 1st Innings *O Phillips b Best 0 R Currency c Fudadin b Beaton 0 S Thomas c Ramdeen b Fudadin 10 +K Corbin c Bess b Permaul 96 F Reifer b Fudadin 37 N Bonner c wkp Christian b Fudadin 3 J Smith c Singh b Permaul 9 C Brathwaite lbw b Permaul 3 K McClean not out 52 R Austin c Fudadin b Beaton 20 K Kantasingh lbw b Fudadin 0 Extras (b11, lb2, w3, nb5) 21 TOTAL (all out, 82.4 overs) 251 Fall of wickets: 1-0, 2-3, 3-44, 4-116, 5-124, 6-167, 7-170, 8-179, 9-250, 10-251.

NCAA Football Betting: Michigan State Spartans vs. Iowa Hawkeyes Picks
- Updated: October 27, 2010
Michigan State Spartans
Iowa Hawkeyes
The Michigan State Spartans appear to be a blessed team right now, and the only thing that might be standing between them and an undefeated regular season might just be this weekend's college football betting battle against the Iowa Hawkeyes.
MSU has now proven that it can come from behind in a game if need be as well. Last week, the Spartans were facing a 17 point hole against the Northwestern Wildcats and used the passing game, not the power running game that we have come to know and love, to fight back and post a win and a cover in Evanston. The Spartans might be known for that smash mouth game, but don't let them fool you. QB Kirk Cousins can throw the pill around the field as well. Cousins has thrown for 1,948 yards and 14 scores against four picks, and as was proven last week, both WR Mark Dell and WR BJ Cunningham have the ability to have huge games as well. The ball still belongs to RB Edwin Baker and RB Le'Veon Bell though, and in what should be a very physical game, they are going to be key. Bell was held to just 12 yards on eight carries last week, but these two men are both still averaging over six yards per carry on the year. A suspect defense will be tested in a big way as well, as Sparty is allowing 213.5 passing yards per game, only good enough to be ranked No. 62 in the country.
Iowa already has one loss in conference play this year, and as long as the Wisconsin Badgers get picked off by someone else at some point, the Hawkeyes still control their own destiny for the Rose Bowl. This is something that HC Kirk Ferentz must be preaching to his team. QB Ricky Stanzi finally lost his first game at Kinnick Stadium as a starting quarterback in a game that he finished last week against the Wisconsin Badgers. This was the second straight week in which the defense really let the offense down, as scoring 30 points in a game should really be enough to beat anyone in the country when you have a 'D' that is this good. The Hawkeyes still rank No. 13 in the nation in total defense at 297.1 yards per game, though both the Badgers and the Michigan Wolverines have tested those numbers in recent weeks. A scoring average of 15.7 points per game allowed is still second best in the Big Ten, and that is something that should not be forgotten.
It's so hard to lay a touchdown against Michigan State the way that it is playing right now, but in spite of the numbers next to the teams' names, we just don't believe that the Spartans have the better team, and we don't even think it's quite frankly that close. Iowa knows what it is like to feel like a blessed team. It also knows what it's like to catch one terrible break in the biggest game of the year. The Spartans will get knocked from the ranks of the unbeatens in what could be a wild Saturday.

By: Mikkel Pates, Agweek
FARGO, N.D. — Enrollees in the first "BBQ Boot Camp" of the season April 24 in Fargo, N.D., got a heaping helping of advice on how to prepare red meat favorites outdoors.
David Newman, an assistant professor of animal sciences and swine extension specialist at North Dakota State University in Fargo, was one of the coordinators and presenters at the event, which brought in a class of 160 people, paying $30 each or $50 a couple to listen to cooking advice.
Among the campers was Mike Kempel of Fargo, owner of Dakota Refrigeration, who says he decided to attend simply "to be a better barbecue cook." He was one of those taking the occasional note as he listened to the animal and meat scientists talk about some of the misconceptions and science of outdoor cookery.
The boot camp approach was started two years ago at the NDSU Extension Research Station in Carrington, N.D. The program is the only one of its kind going on around the country, as far as the NDSU officials know.
"It's something where we can bring an ag-based program to the community. It's been a big success," Newman says. "We can talk about where we can have some fun with the meat and livestock industry."
In 2009, there were 10 boot camp events, involving 1,000 people. In 2010, officials say they're anticipating the same number but perhaps in fewer events.
The next BBQ Boot Camp is May 26 in Bismarck, N.D.
For the main course in the camp, there are three main stations that pertain to cooking — slow cooking and smoking; grilling and grilling techniques; and "degree of doneness" on steaks and chops. Among other things, enrollees learned about the proper use of a thermometer as one tool to control the palatability of meat.
Two other stations pertain to spices (spices, rubs, marinades and meat selection) and food safety and nutrition issues.
Besides cooking, attendees learn about animal welfare issues — "the high standard of animal welfare that producers implement in their programs," Newman says. He notes that the North Dakota Beef Commission, the North Dakota Pork Council and other animal agriculture groups have "strict guidelines" for quality assurance programs and care.
The groups also learned that NDSU animal science has nine competitive teams, including four judging teams that compete with some of the nation's best-known larger schools.
Animal science faculty several years started Carnivore Catering, a graduate student business. Last year, the group served 150 events, feeding up to 1,700 people at the North Dakota State Fair in Minot.
Other barbecue advice:
n Paul Berg, an animal geneticist, says "rub" is a favorite technique of his for meat because it is dry and is highly storable and effective.
"People ask how much do you use," he says. "Well, you grab a handful, rub it on, and whatever sticks is the right amount."
Among other things, Berg suggests putting spices on fully thawed meat 10 minutes before putting them over a grill.
n To smoke meat, Trent Gilbery suggests the cook dry it for a short time with dry heat initially to help the smoke stick to the product.
"Wet meat doesn't absorb smoke as well," he says.
Gilbery also offers tips about slow-cooking beef brisket, among other things. This tip: keep the fat on the meat to add flavor so it self-bastes. An 8- to 10-pound brisket is slow-cooked for 12 to 15 hours. Ribs are cooked for five hours total but wrapped in foil at the end.
n Robert Maddock, another animal scientist, says the cut of meat is one of the most important determinants of how a beef steak or pork chop will cook. He notes that "choice" steaks have marbled fat within the meat not only assures better cooking, but is more desirable than the outside back fat from a health standpoint.
n Steaks should be flipped every four minutes — about twice during a 12-minute average cooking period. Generally, darker-colored pork is better quality than lighter-colored pork. Grilling meat is best if it's 1 inch thick or more.

As scooped by MJsBigBlog, Alan Ritchson — who's sure to break some Hunger Games fan hearts as the tribute Gloss with his big muscles and winning smile — auditioned for Season 3 of American Idol, singing "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" to an adoring Paula Abdul.
Breaking tradition, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson exited the audition room to let her have some alone time with the fame-hungry blonde. She helped advance him to the next round, but he fizzled out in Hollywood auditions and didn't come back for more Idol fun. Alan went on to score a role as Aquaman on the CW's Smallville.
Giving up on his Idol ambition appears to have been a good move on his part, because he's now a member of one of the hottest franchises in Hollywood!

My Son Will Not Live That Life
Ever since my five year old son was born I knew something was different about…
It's that time of year, my kids have 12 total days off without school. This past weekend the kids were off with their other parent and it was time for Lee and I to get wrapping.
We were busy ensuring we had Moms, Sisters, Nieces and the Dad covered this holiday season and had to deliver gifts before Monday came.
My mom's and sisters and nieces gifts were all wrapped up and ready to deliver. So we hopped on in our van and went off delivering gifts through the evening last night.
Jenny the Pug wasn't quite sure if she was naughty or nice this year so she sat watching us thinking about Santa and wondering… will she get a Christmas gift this year from Santa?!
What do you all think; will Jenny the Pug get a gift from Santa Claus this year?
